Some of the best coffee projects we know of got their start on Kickstarter. From...
The Cuisinart TTG-500, Two to Go Coffee Maker, brews one or two 14-ounce travel mugs of coffee at the same time. You can brew one mug or both, as you require. It is convenient for travel as the coffee drips right into your travel mugs, which have tight lids and are designed to slip into your vehicle cup holder with a slip resistant grip.
Product Description:
The Cuisinart TTG-500, Two to Go Coffee Maker, has an espresso filter-basket design, a brew indicator light; an auto shut off, and comes with a # 2 coffee filter start-up kit. This coffee maker brews one or two cups of rich delicious coffee at the same time and drips it into 14-ounce travel mugs, ready to go. These travel mugs have tight lids and are designed ergonomically for a slip-resistant, comfortable grip, and they fit easily into most vehicles cup holders.
The Cuisinart TTG-500, Two to Go Coffee Maker, is easy to clean up, simply remove the filters and wipe down the surface and you are ready to go again.
Simply wash the travel mugs in hot soapy water or added to your dishwasher on the top rack.
If you are purchasing a coffee maker because you like a good cup of coffee and are always on the go, then this is the coffee maker for you. It's easy to use, no carafe to wash feature is great for people on the move, plus it is quick and the coffee tastes great. The coffee stays warm in its mugs for up to three hours and although the machine is a basic push button on/off, one mug or two, for people like me, who are always in a hurry to be somewhere, it is super.
We have had this coffee maker now for over a year and it has been working flawlessly. We get it ready at night, then in the morning with just a flip of a switch it is ready to go. We have just purchased one for at work as well because coffee is always best when brewed fresh, and this machine allows you that option.
Although this coffee maker has a simple design, it has a couple areas it could be improved upon. The splitter between the thermos mugs is supposed to divide the outflow from the machine equally and so far that hasn't happened. One cup fills much quicker, so you are required to collect and divide as needed.
The Final Verdict:
Overall, we would rate the Cuisinart TTG-500 Two-to-Go Coffee maker an A+ in performance and as far as price and a great tasting cup of coffee, you definitely get your money's worth.

It was Jones' first PGA Tour victory and it was all the more sweet as he just missed out on playing at Augusta National last year.
On the chip, he said: "I walked up there and told my caddie I was going to chip it in. My chipping has been pretty good for a while. When I know what I have to do, I seem to be able to pull it off more so.
"Especially playing golf with my friends, if I have to birdie to beat them, somehow I do it. It was nice to be able to do it on this stage.
"I didn't care about finishing second or third or fourth, it didn't matter. I was only trying to get the win."
What's in Jones' bag?

Arizona Coyotes (14-18-4) at Dallas Stars (16-14-5)
|Date & Time
|Wednesday December 31, 2014, 8:00 PM (EST)
|The Line
The Line: Dallas Stars -175 / Arizona Coyotes +158 --- Over/Under: 5.5
|TV Channel
|Stream NHL games all season on ESPN+ for only $4.99 a month. Sign up now!
The Stars look to finish off 2014 by locking up their third straight win while the Coyotes have had a year to forget sitting near the bottom of the league standings.
The Arizona Coyotes have won three straight games and are on the ascent in the Pacific division but have had a very shaky start to the season as we approach the mid way point of the season but optimism isn't pouring out in the desert. The Coyotes do have some solid pieces and some draft picks that'll be contributing as early as next season but until then they are going to take their licks as I don't see them being overly competitive in the second half of the season. Arizona is likely to land a top draft pick which could very well shape the future of their franchise moving forward and with this draft class being strong at the top there could be another youngster making a difference as early as next year. As for now though the Coyotes will look for their fourth straight and take down a surging Stars team in the process. Mike Smith will get the call for the Coyotes as he will go up against Kari Lehtonen for Dallas.
The Stars are starting to turn things around and are playing like the team many thought they would be when the season began but could it be too late for them to get back into the fold in the ultra competitive Central division? Dallas currently sits in sixth place in the Central and this is in the middle of a 7-2-1 stretch that has propelled them above .500 but with the top three teams in each division guaranteed a playoff berth the Stars have their work cut out for them as they're 10 points back of third place St. Louis. Dallas is a good team that can fill the net but after a season where Kari Lehtonen was among the NHL's best goalies he has had a tough go this year and is a large part of why the team has struggled to find wins. However, the Stars are rolling right now, are on home ice, and play a Coyotes team that despite a mini three game surge is no where near Dallas' level in my opinion. Dallas in regulation here.

"Heart Strings"
Last weekend I finished this little (5" X 7") collage, entitled "Heart Strings," featuring vintage ephemera and a heart image transferred atop a map of Northeast Iowa. The background is a page from a National Geographic that's been treated with Citrasolv to create the watery effect. In addition, I used spray paint and a stencil to make the rays behind the heart.
Collage #4: "Nerve Center"
After a few days away from my "studio," it was wonderful to get back at it today. Here's the result, a 12 X 8" collage on cradled hardboard. I've titled it "Nerve Center."
This collage includes quite a few turn-of-the-century bits of ephemera, such as a couple of railroad company letters (the lower background) from 1909, the edge of a railroad freight tariff sheet (yellow, upper right corner) from 1910, an illustration of nerves from an old anatomy book, pieces from an Orange Premium Stamps booklet cover (date unknown), and part of a Washington state map from a 1904 atlas. The upper background portion was done using a favorite technique of mine. It's a photo from an older National Geographic magazine that's been treated with Citra-solv, a citrus-based cleaner that makes the ink in the photo run and bleed, giving it a watery look.
Below is a close-up shot...
Karl von Kraken, Esq.
People occasionally ask me where my inspiration comes from. Generally my answer is something along the lines of "beats me" or "I often ask myself the same question." This latest piece, though, was easy to put together. A few weeks ago I purchased a print of an Ernst Haeckel illustration at my local junk/vintage shop; the shop owner, I believe, bought an entire book and was selling them off by the page. Anyway I bought two pages: one with octopi and squid on one side and sea shells on the other, and the second page with bats on one side (Halloween's coming up) and frogs on the other. One octopus immediately caught my attention--probably because of the eye-spacing--and I vowed, then and there, to use it in some sort of octopus/human hybridization. (I know, I know...I'm not hooked up right.)
I then searched my ever-growing stack of vintage photos and found the gentleman used in this piece. Sure he had an epic beard and a dapper suit, but what really drew me to him was the simple fact that his eye-spacing exactly matched the octopus' eyes. Score! I had the focal point for my piece.
After combining the critter with the man, I thought of the mythic kraken, the beast that terrorized sailors and pulled ships beneath the ocean's waves. What, I thought, would the kraken do when the monster gig got stale, or when he wanted to retire? Well, perhaps he'd settle down in some quaint little port on a Caribbean island and start a small business. Maybe a deep sea salvage company...haha. Regardless, I'm sure he'd be a well-respected (fear does engender respect, doesn't it?) "man" of the community. That said, I give you "Karl von Kraken, Esq."
Other than the photo and illustration, the finished piece (which measures about 8 X 6 X 2.5") also includes pieces of a map, a National Geographic page manipulated with CitraSolv, found objects, glass from a vintage picture frame, and a hand-made box.
Color me jealous because I could never grow a beard as awesome as old Karl's facial shrubbery.
In the side view shot (below) you can see that the exterior's been covered in pieces of map, which I aged. Also, you can kind of see a piece of rusted chain running the length of the interior; actually, there are two pieces of chain, one on each side of Karl.
The piece's header (see below) was created with a found piece of rusty metal, a couple of rusty square nails, and a smashed beer bottle cap that I painted.
I've been on Spring Break the last few days (yeah, yeah, I know, teachers have it soooooo easy), and I managed to carve out a little time to complete some art projects. That said, I'm back to work tomorrow, so this may be my last post for awhile. Below are some pics from "Intertwined," yet another nicho in my seemingly endless series. (Actually, after this one, I only have ONE yet to complete--then the nichos are finished...for now.) By the way, the approximate dimensions of this piece are 6" X 8".
This little assemblage--again, I used an Altoid tin as the "nicho"--was created using found objects, two vintage photos, and a picture from National Geographic (the greenish background in the photo below) that was treated with Citrasolv to give it that wavy appearance.
I thought about naming this piece "Mama's Eyes" for obvious reasons--and I may still do so.
The shot below shows the old cheese grater I used to frame the piece, as well as the texture I achieved around the edges and top of the base.
The (sometimes mad) ramblings of a mixed media artist.

Ryeowook plays it too safe with 'Drunk On Love' [Music Review]
By Chris Gillett
Drunk On Love is the second mini-album from K-pop's Super Junior member Ryeowook, offering a wide range of genres with mixed results.
The album is book ended with affectionate piano ballads I'm Not Over You and The 2ndStory, which start off with whimper-ish vocals before leading to smooth falsetto squeals to display Ryeowook's incredible vocal range.
Something Good and Sugar both veer off into the jazz sphere, but each have their own identities. Something Good has a lounge vibe, with J-pop stylings in the pre-choruses before the feel-good anthem beams out, "You and me got something wonderful".
Seventeen on who they root for in K-pop, who they'd like to collaborate with, and the message they have for their fans, Carats
Sugar's old-fashioned cabaret show-esque vibes soon give way to funky bass grooves, and a slightly schmoozy, tongue-in-cheek vibe. The tracks get progressively worse, finishing with an out-of-tune child singing out of time with the rest of the song as it slowly fades.
One And Only has a kind of Jason Mraz-esque coffeehouse shuffle to it, but Ryeowook seems to out-chill even the king of acoustic lounge himself on it. Without You shifts toward more Latin-led embellishments and the only real R'n'B beat on the album, as he cries out, "Cuz I'll be right here".
There are no awful moments here by any stretch, but it feels like Ryeowook has played this one a little too safe instead of trying to stand out.

The most American Christmas I spent was in Morgantown, with my host family. I remember it was so much fun! Actually in 1992 I remember having many Christmas, we had a Christmas in Morgantown, then traveled to Sycamore, NY (first time at temperatures around 12-20F) for Christmas with my host mum's family and then down south to Mississippi to celebrate it with my host dad's family. All of it by car and I can remember being on the road a lot. I got to see a lot of the country that way, and everywhere we went we were received with so much love and care. A typical American Christmas resumes to:
Christmas Cookies - My host dad baked A LOT!!!! We don't have the tradition in Brazil of baking Christmas cookies. I remember on the build up to Christmas trays and trays of cookies being baked. We then took the cookies on our travels.
Food!!! - Pumpkin pie, cranberry sauce, turkey, stuffing, vegetables, potatoes. All served as a late lunch.
Family - Enjoying each other's companies through the winter holidays. Seeing families all over the place, that's what Christmas is all about isn't it?
Presents - Of course there was that as well. On Christmas day, we all came down the stairs and opened presents. I like receiving, but most of all I like giving, just watching people's faces when they open their presents... it feels great!

As for the fiasco in India involving the Gov't of Justin Castro, I firmly believe the current Lieberal Gov't should indeed resign and another election held. What the Lieberals have perpetrated in India is beyond despicable! The Atwal controversy is nothing less than a "Trojan Horse" tactic against India! I firmly believe he arrived by way of the Gov't plane since he has been there from the get – go. Otherwise, he likely would have been denied access to the country.
As you know, Justin Trudeau's townhall a few weeks ago went shockingly wrong.
Yes, he said "peoplekind," the gaffe that went around the world.
But that story drew attention away from something else Trudeau said at the same gathering, something much more important.
I'll show you the part when a Canadian Forces serviceman asked him about funding for our veterans.
See, Trudeau is fighting veterans in court. Because they're "asking for more than he can give."
He didn't fight Omar Khadr in court — Trudeau paid him $10.5 million. And he paid out three other people accused of having links with terrorism — $10 million each.
Now here's today's news, from the Ottawa news website Blacklocks:
The military proposes to install wind farms on army bases and encourage staff to bicycle to work under a climate change program.
How is this any different from the announcement earlier this month, that there will now be a "gender analysis" of military decisions?
By the way, it goes without saying, wind turbines are stupid. They don't work when it's not windy — or when it's too windy. You need back-up power for the 95% of the time, so you're really just buying two power systems.
You don't want wind turbines near airforce bases — planes might hit them.
It's the kind of stupid only Justin Trudeau and Catherine McKenna could think up.
Sorry, veterans. You're just asking for too much, more than we can give.
Shut up now please — we have some global warming to stop...
NEXT: Rebel Alberta Bureau Chief Sheila Gunn Reid and I talk about why some Canadian leaders are vying to host Amazon's second corporate campus — while opposing more lucrative pipeline projects.
THEN: Our own Ben Davies joins me to talk about actress Jennifer Lawrence's vow to quit acting for a year to "fix democracy." I wonder why she doesn't set her sights on fixing Hollywood instead...
FINALLY: The Rebel team is at CPAC this year! That's the huge annual conservative gathering in Washington, DC.
Tomorrow, instead of a regular show, Rebel Premium Members will be able to watch our CPAC coverage, with Katie Hopkins, John Cardillo, Dr. Sebastian Gorka, and me.

Top Rated Mattress 2018: Puffy Mattress + Up to $275 OFF Coupon
Kutson Mattress is a great option for anyone looking to purchase a sleeping product whose firmness can be adjusted. Unlike the other competing brands, this mattress features a modular construction design where you can add or remove the memory foam layers depending on how firm or soft you want your bed to be. By unzipping the cover of the Kutson Mattress, you are able to rearrange the various layers to customize the bed fully based on your needs.
The Kutson Mattress is also designed to provide top-level edge support, which is will often lack in other memory foam mattresses. It is a digitalized sleeping product that is attracting a lot of positive reviews from customers. Are you looking to get yourself the Kutson Mattress and are not familiar with its features? If you are, this is a must-read review since it provides detailed information about Kutson with respect to its construction, heat regulation, motion isolation, firmness, comfort, among other essential factors. The article also discusses the factors that you should consider before purchasing any mattress.

The 11-inch mattress features 4 layers as shown below:
- Top layer: This is also called the Alaria layer, and it is made up of memory foam that is infused with a gel. This ensures that your sleeping temperature is regulated such that you stay cool all night long. This layer is also soft to provide a comfortable surface for you to lie on.
- Second layer: This layer contains 9 different memory foam layers that are arranged according to your personal needs and preference. You, however, will have to arrange them from the softest to the firmest layer after receiving the mattress from the dealer. The density of each memory foam varies marginally from one another to ensure better performance and durability.
- Third layer: This is the comfort layer, and it is fitted with foam that is covered in patent-pending foam edge rail. This strengthens the mattress and provides edge support. The mattress' edge support not only gives you a wider sleeping area but also ensures that you do not roll off when sleeping on it.
- Base layer: The base layer of the Kutson Mattress is made of high-density foam that is strong and durable. This layer ensures that you enjoy the correct spinal alignment when sleeping so that you can maintain the right posture.
The four layers are further covered in a sheet that is soft, durable, and zipped. You can easily remove the cover to access the layers for firmness adjustment or cleaning. You can also choose the foundation you are most comfortable with since the Kutson Mattress does not advise on the use of a specific one.
Motion Transfer
Most people are looking for mattresses that can isolate motion, especially for the people who share a bed. For couples, the Kutson Mattress is designed perfectly to ensure limited motion transfer just like the other memory foam sleeping products. For improved performance in motion isolation, this mattress features multiple memory foam layers, and it is 11 inches thick.
Every side or edge of the mattress is constructed such that it contains separate comfort layers. This way, you are able to sleep peacefully without worrying that you might disturb one another as you change sleeping positions. You can also get out or on the bed without your sleeping partner feeling any motion.
This is made even better by the patent-pending foam edge rail that provides adequate edge support to the mattress. With this innovation, a light person is sure to sleep with a heavy person without feeling the rolling off on the surface. This makes sleeping on the mattress comfortable because you will not be interrupted in the night by the other person's movements. This also makes Kutson Mattress ideal for the people who share a bed with their large pets.

Off Gassing
Like most other new sleep products, you will feel a slight smell from the mattress when you remove it from the box upon delivery on your doorstep. It is imperative to note that you will need an extra pair of hands to set your Kutson Mattress up. Once this is done, you should allow it time to expand and air before you can sleep on it.
To do this, you may consider opening the windows for proper ventilation so that the odor can escape. You should know that Kutson Mattress is designed and constructed in US, which guarantees quality. It also means that the mattress will emit less noxious odor. Moreover, the materials used, such as the memory foam, gel, and others, are all CertiPUR-US certified. This guarantees that the mattress has no toxic chemicals that may be harmful to your health.
Temperature regulation
Most people across the globe love their beds to remain cool when they are in it for quality sleep. Kutson Mattress has the Alaria layer infused with a gel that keeps your sleeping surface cool throughout the night. It utilizes a mechanism that wicks off your body's heat and moisture to keep you cool and comfortable. To maintain the optimal sleeping coolness, the gel absorbs the room's temperature, counteracting the possible heat fluctuations.
Unlike the traditional memory foam mattresses, Kutson Mattress is constructed with medium thickness. This helps minimize heat retention incidences within its layers, which would result into a hot sleep.

When you sweat during the night, you may get uncomfortable and keep waking up to cool yourself. With Kutson Mattress, however, you will not need to worry anymore about over heating or sweating too much while asleep. Its top layer is constructed with gel infusion that regulates the sleeping temperatures to the optimum level where you can comfortably sleep without interruptions.
- You prefer mattresses made of memory foam: For some people, memory foam is all they want in their bed because it hugs them whenever they lie on it. Memory foam also allows you to sink right into the mattress.

It is important to note that you will get a full refund whenever you return Kutson Mattress after the 120-days trial.
- You prefer mattresses whose firmness you can adjust: Kutson Mattress is customizable. This means that you can adjust the layers to create a soft, medium, or firm mattress depending on your needs.
You will not love Kutson Mattress if:
- You prefer the traditional memory foam: Kutson Mattress is made with the modern memory foam that allows the application of digitized innovations. For instance, the first layer of the memory foam is infused with a cool-gel that works extraordinarily in providing users with a high quality, cool sleep. The base layer is also designed for spine alignment, which differentiates it from the conventional memory foam mattresses.
- You do not love mattresses made from memory foam in all layers: Some mattresses feature pocket coil systems and other innovative technologies for support, temperature regulation, motion isolation etc. Kutson Mattress is made of memory foam in all its four layers. If you are not in for an all-foam mattress, you should do further research to identify the mattress brand that best fits your needs and preference.
Caring for the Kutson Mattress
Kutson Mattress is constructed for ease of care and maintenance. Unlike the other brands that require to be flipped every now and then, this mattress does not need that. However, you should ensure to rotate it after every 3 months of use. This way, Kutson Mattress will wear out evenly and one side will not sag more than the other will.
The mattress cover has a zipper that you can remove easily and, it is machine washable only through a gentle cycle. To avoid damaging the cover, you should air dry it. To enhance the Kutson Mattress cover's durability, you should machine wash it sparingly. The best way to go about cleaning this cover is spot cleaning. When doing this, you should be sure to use mild chemicals and cold water. Clean the spots by rubbing the cover gently with your hands.
You may also go for a mattress protector to keep the cover from getting dirty or staining. This way, you will not need to clean the cover frequently. This will enhance its durability.

Kutson Mattress firmness
This mattress features the dual-side modular design that gives you the opportunity to custom-arrange the nine foam layers to the desired firmness level. This is a great way of ensuring that you are comfortable with your sleeping product. With this mattress, you are able to create the softness or firmness you want on your side of the bed. You do not need to buy another mattress for this since you can do the adjustment right at home.
If you buy the California King, King size, or Queen size Kutson Mattresses, the company will ensure that you are provided with extra comfort foam layers if you need them at no charge. This is because the company values your satisfaction and is oriented towards helping you get the right combination and firmness you are looking for.
Final verdict
Kutson Mattress is a new brand in the market. While some users will view this as a weakness, our review proves that the company has done a more extensive research compared to the mattress brands that used traditional memory foam. It has constructed the mattress with your needs of comfort, motion isolation, coolness, and support for spine alignment in mind. It is plausible to say that Kutson Mattress is of good value and absolutely worth its price.

Slow-cooker Beef Stroganoff
I found a recipe online several years back for beef stroganoff that sounded easy, so I gave it a shot. It was okay, but it needed more flavor, richness, and tang. Thus began my fucking with it, like I do. I added this and that, found other similar recipes, and incorporated parts of them. It's taken a dozen different versions, but I've finally settled on what I believe is a great recipe for beef stroganoff.
I love my slow cooker. I use it at least once a week. It's just so convenient to throw everything in there and let it go while I'm at work. I'm always on the lookout for new things to make in it. But, there are also the tried-and-true favorites, like this recipe.
We like leftovers in my house, even though it's just the two of us. It's actually the middle of Ramadan right now, so I don't have to worry about his lunches, but my husband usually wants leftovers so he can have a hot lunch at work. I also want leftovers because I've worked at the same restaurant for over fifteen years and I need healthier choices than what they offer.
- 2 pounds stew meat, cut into small pieces (I use the stew meat from my Butcher Box)
- 3 cans reduced sodium golden mushroom soup (I like Campbell's Healthy Request)
- 3/4 cup of water
- 1 packet beefy onion soup mix
- 1/2 teaspoon of white pepper
- pinch of natural Falksalt
- 3 tablespoons minced garlic
- 1/2 cup sauteed shallots (two whole, large, finely chopped)
- 1 vegetable bouillon cube
- 1 tablespoon low sodium beef stock concentrate
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 cups frozen peas (8-10 oz bag)
- 6 oz cream cheese (3/4 of a brick of Philadelphia, cut into pieces)
- 1/4 cup light sour cream
- 1 bag of "No Yolk" noodles (I like the dumpling size)
First things first, get those shallots chopped and sauteed in a drizzle of olive oil. It shouldn't take long. Mix everything in the first set together in the crock. I usually mix the meat in last before I turn it on. How long it takes to cook really depends on the size of your meat-chunks. It could take as little as 5 hours on low, or as long as 8 hours. I throw it all together the night before and stick it in the fridge. I need it to take 10-12 hours to cook due to my long work hours. My fix? I leave the meat frozen. The added time it takes to warm up the cold crock and to thaw the meat gives me those extra hours at work that I need.
Once the meat is tender and cooked through, it's time to add the frozen peas and start the noodles. By the time the noodles are almost done, the peas should be cooked. Add the chunks of cream cheese and stir them in to melt it into the sauce. Add the sour cream and mix it thoroughly.
My crock is about five quarts. If yours is only four, this is not going to fit while leaving a comfortable amount of room to stir it. Cut the meat back to 1.5 pounds, leave out one can of soup, 1/4 cup water, 1 tablespoon of garlic, 1/2 a tablespoon of Worchestershire, and 2 oz of cream cheese. The flavor will be slightly different, but it's still pretty damn good.

Music and Culture Festival Draws 30,000 Guests to the Vienna Danube Canal
The three-day music and culture festival will draw about 30,000 guests to the Danube Canal in Vienna again for the tenth time, from 27 to 29 May 2016. The watercourse running through the city center, which is normally a popular local recreation area, becomes the stage for numerous live concerts by mostly Austrian Indie bands on this weekend.
There is a brilliantly colorful program from the Spittelau to Franzensbrücke, with free admission to 17 venues, including the Summer Stage, Strandbar Herrmann, the Schützenhaus and the Badeschiff.
The DJ sets, dance workshops, fashion shows, sports and numerous culinary specialties at the Donaukanaltreiben will evoke a vacation feeling - as, of course, will any number of live concerts by high-caliber, predominantly Austrian bands.
Top acts for the anniversary
Ten years of the Donaukanaltreiben - that's something to celebrate. The line-up includes the extraordinary live band Kreisky, which gave its first concert ten years ago at the rhiz in Vienna and continues to enjoy great success. Also well-known in these parts is Der Nino aus Wien with his simultaneously quiet, penetrating and virtuoso style.
The four members of Einhorn from Burgenland combine Funk, HipHop, Indie and Electronic into a sound that's a lot of fun. Destroyed but Not Defeated from Vienna supply peacefully coexisting opposites such as Indie Rock and Rhythmic Gymnastics.
The music of the Austrian Electro-Pop band Julian & der Fux is a mixture of stylish pop and energetic club music. Avec, a young singer-songwriter, evokes emotions and images with her delicate guitar sound, which work like a balm on the soul.
The three lads of Trümmer are guests from Hamburg. Their musical point of departure is rousing Rock'n'Roll. The German musician and author Thees Uhlmann reads from his debut novel "Sophia, der Tod und ich" (Sophia, death and me), a fast-paced, comical roadtrip.
The yellow Wiener Bootstaxi will transport visitors across the water to the individual locations for free. Late in the evening, there are indoor after-show parties at selected venues such as the Loft, designed by Jean Nouvel and situated on the 18th floor of the Sofitel with a fantastic all-round view.
10th Donaukanaltreiben
27-29 May 2016

Fruitful Faith
November 4, 2018 Speaker: Jesse Brooks Series: Faith IRL
Passage: James 1:2, James 5
- Listen
- Downloads
There are believers, who claim to have faith in Jesus, but their faith doesn't show in their everyday life.
James writes to encourage the body of Christ to allow faith to transform their lives, that they live it out and people looking in can see that their faith is in Christ.
When we encounter Jesus we become a new creature. James lets us know; because we are new we have faith that can be displayed through every circumstance we face in life.

I don't know about you but when I'm standing in front of the fish at Trader Joe's or Whole Foods or I'm staring at the menu at a seafood restaurant I can't always remember which fish I'm supposed to eat and which fish I'm supposed to stay away from… which fish is endangered and over-fished, which ones are farmed poorly and creating more pollution, which ones contain mercury, etc, etc, etc…
Well, thanks to the folks over at the Blue Ocean Institute I don't have to!!
Believe it or not the Blue Ocean Institute has launched the FishPhone, which brings sustainable seafood information straight to your cell phone or PDA. So the next time you're about to pick out a piece of fish at the market or order from the menu at a restaurant just text 30644 with the message "Fish" and the name of the fish in question and within seconds you'll get an environmental assessment of your choice of seafood.
Rock on! 🙂

Backyards are among the most fertile theaters for radical political conversions. Just look at me.
For many years, we've lived in the same house in a coastal neighborhood associated with bird guano, roundabouts and small lots. We've noted the outbreak of short-term vacation rentals (STVRs) — and the ensuing blowback — but have viewed the proliferation with nonpartisan detachment.
Our block is a mix of weathered bungalows and remodels. Lots of young families, retirees, dogs. A neighbor or two can go on vacation and rent their home out for a week or two, but no one minds much. Hand-picked guests have blended in without incident.
But then, a couple of weeks ago, without a word of warning, a $110-a-night motel opened next-door.

text: Will Poulter (The kid who made out with Jennifer Aniston in We're The Millers) is in negotiations to play Pennywise, the evil monster who lured in children disguised as a clown, in the upcoming remake of Stephen King's horror classic It, says Variety. "True Detective's" Cary Fukunaga will direct It, which will be split into two feature films for New Line Cinema. The original story followed a group of outcast kids that come together over summer break to take on the monster that's haunting their town, battling their own personal monsters in the process. King's popular book was made into a TV miniseries in 1991 starring John Ritter and Tim Curry, who played the clown in terrifying fashion. A film adaptation was never undertaken given the size of the King novel, but Fukunaga has been very vocal recently that the latest script will stay true to the King story while also giving the film a new look. Fukunaga penned the It screenplay along with Chase Palmer. Via Bloody Disgusting

6 days to go now. Ang has thrown in the towel. Said she's officially done being pregnant. She thought she lost her mucous plug yesterday morning. And then a couple of hours later she was having contractions every 2 minutes for about 20 minutes. So of course we get all worked up. Then they stopped. It appears this baby wants to be able to walk, write, and speak once it is born. Anytime - pause - anytime.
To make matters worse, Malaia has come down with a nasty cold/flu again. We've have to wash her bedding at least once a day right because of all of the projectile vomiting going on. It took a bit, to figure out but appears she simply can't have dairy right now. Which is hard because her bottles still consist of milk.
Anyway, maybe today is the day!

LAKEMOOR – Plans for a Woodman's Food Market at the intersection of Routes 120 and 12 are moving forward, Lakemoor Mayor Todd Weihofen said.
This will be the largest development to come to Lakemoor, Weihofen said. The grocery store is expected to create an estimated 250 jobs, and there is room on the 74-acre site for another big-box store and several other retailers, he said.
The development process for the land was previously put on hold, after a lawsuit filed by Wauconda taxing bodies over a tax increment financing district on the site. However, in mid-November Weihofen said Woodman's board of directors approved the purchase of the land.
"We're excited," Weihofen said. "Woodman's is an employee-owned business – you couldn't ask for a better business in town."
An economic incentive agreement with Woodman's is expected to come before the board in December, and the development agreement should be finalized soon after, Weihofen said.
"There's a lot of things that need to happen before it's final," Woodman's Vice President Clint Woodman said of the development. "We hope that everything goes smoothly."
The tentative plans for Woodman's include a 240,000-square-foot grocery store along with a freestanding gas station, convenience store and car wash. Officials supporting the project said it would allow area residents to shop closer to home rather than going to Fox Lake, Wauconda or McHenry.
If everything goes as planned, construction could start by 2019, Woodman said.
A development wouldn't have come to the long-vacant property without the creation of the TIF district, village officials have said.
According to previous Northwest Herald reporting, the TIF district was expected to increase the equalized assessed value of the area from $20,000 to about $13 million over the 23-year life-span of the TIF. Village officials contend the property has flooding issues that would take nearly $10 million to fix.
"We took the time and put the tools in there to make it a development that would work," Weihofen said.
In a letter posted online, the suing taxing bodies argue that the fact the land has been continuously farmed proves it is not subject to chronic flooding.
Dean Krone, attorney representing the Wauconda taxing bodies, said in an email he anticipates parties will begin taking depositions at the start of 2017. Krone said he is expecting a "significant number" of additional documents from the village in the near future.
In March, Weihofen encouraged residents to lobby the tax bodies behind the lawsuit. He said he never thought the lawsuit would hold the store back from coming to Lakemoor.
"It most likely won't be settled until the grand opening." Weihofen said.

(NB: All information in the article is real. The postings were, and will be for a limited time still available to view on Craigslist. All emails are still sitting in my inbox. I would print the addresses but it is probably illegal, although judging by some of these guys, they would probably love it.)
So. Where to begin.
Craigslist is a centralized network of online communities, featuring free online classified advertisements with a site dedicated to almost every major city in the world. Each local site has sections specializing in housing, items for sale, services and community. Oh yeah, and sex ads. Lots of sex ads.
I suppose I could try to wriggle my way around the subject by talking about my deep love of online classified listings, how hilarious and inexplicably twisted people can be when they are shrouded in anonymity, how I was 'curious' or found myself reading ads 'by accident'. But, as you will no doubt agree, the point will remain exactly the same. I was sitting in a café, reading the casual sex pages of the Beirut Craigslist website. There, I said it.
The odd thing about this site is that unlike in other parts of the world where it can be a gold mine of free furniture, stolen bikes and strange landlords, nobody seems to use the Beirut Craigslist. The jobs section is bare. The flat rental department features around one new posting per week. Unwanted pets, not even a hamster.
So when I entered the 'Personals' section I was quite surprised to find anything at all. As you will see if you visit the site, the links are arranged into different categories. There is the very ambiguous 'Strictly Platonic' for those prudes who cannot admit to their own depravity even whilst hidden behind their IP address. Following this is the regular 'Men 4 Men', 'Women 4 Men' and 'Women 4 Women' columns, the much racier 'Misc Romance' and finally the pure filth that is 'Casual Encounters'. I have always wondered about the latter section, whether it means you are up for it without taking your socks off or can perhaps spare a free hand whilst also doing a bit of light housework.
The postings, if there are any, follow a very strict pattern depending on the genre. The Women4Men section is dominated by adverts for prostitutes, with images presumably taken straight from porn sites (none of them look very Lebanese at least). The Men4Women area is a bit more genuine, with a few business men looking for a cheap lay whilst here on a sales trip and the majority appearing to be unattractive middle-aged men from the USA looking for a woman who is prepared to put up with their ugly mug in exchange for an American visa. The percentage of said marriages which end with one of the newlyweds buried in the back garden is not available on the site.
If you want some action and are happy to be frank about it then the Men4Men, Misc and Casual sections are the place to be. Without wanting to offend anyone I believe it is common knowledge that gay men are a little more gung ho in their approach to getting some hanky panky, an assumption which is certainly not disproved here. Graphic descriptions, orgy planners and pictures of naked body parts are to be found aplenty here, and the response rate to these postings, as you are about to find out, is nothing short of enthusiastic.
By way of testing the water I decided to reply to one of the emails under the user name Fred Haley, the author of the curiously titled book 'Satan was a Lesbian' (anyone recognize the poster from a bar in Gemmeyzeh?). I decided to reply to a post with a high chance of a response and found one looking for people to make up the numbers at an orgy following the Vanity Party. I foolishly did not save the original posting so cannot recall it verbatim but the general gist was as follows.
'Looking to get an orgy together after the vanity party, email with a pic if interested.'
That was it. No specifications for age, appearance, political leanings, piercings, pets or otherwise. Just guys wanting an orgy. Replying in a serious manner would undoubtedly get me a serious response. But I wanted to see how far they might be willing to push this. My reply was as follows.
I am fit, 35 but look 31, built, some tattoos.
When are you planning your party? Time is an issue because I have a court appearance coming up. I wanna make sure I have some fun before I go away for a while.
Get in touch if you are for real and we will speak.'
Unremarkably this did not get a response, but it almost certainly caused some small debate between the orgy hosts as to whether or not they wanted a muscly, tattooed jailbird popping over for a game of hide the beef jerky.
Orgy Organizer 1; 'But I think it will be exciting, a real thug at the party'
Orgy Organizer 2: 'But we don't know what he has done. Maybe he is a car thief, maybe a murderer'
Orgy Organizer 1: 'Can we ask him? Is it rude to ask?'
Orgy Organizer 2: 'I think we should keep him in the 'maybe' pile?'
But still I wanted more. There was nothing to prove that any of these posts were actually real people who really did use this service to meet up and get jiggy wid it. So in the interests of journalism and academic research (ahem) I moved on to plan B. Creating my own posts. And here they are.
1) Lonely Fishing Enthusiast – M4M – 42 (Beirut (Hamra))
Looking for someone to talk about rods, reels and nets.
And maybe other things.
Can travel anywhere between Beirut and Tripoli.
I have my own van.
Author's note: This was my first post and the one I took the piss the hardest with. I was absolutely certain that nobody was interested in meeting a lonely gay fisherman to talk about 'rods, reels and nets'. The picture of the old bearded chap alone should give that away. The 'I have my own van' line was just the cherry on the cake. Nobody would write back to this, right?
2) Rich man, marriage – M4W- 30 – (Beirut/USA)
I am man who have much money but need wife (sexy).
My car (BMW) can be drived by you sometimes.
Many thing in my house are made of gold (like Midas ahahahahahahaha).
I am good for love and (many) children.
Let us meet.
Author's note: OK so I expected to get a few hits with this. I thought there would be at least a few women out there looking for a rich Arab husband.The 'Midas' joke might just about be plausible too. I also tried get across the fact that whilst this guy was boasting about being rich, he was not a walkover, and that the lady he chooses would sometimes be allowed to 'drived' his car, but not every day.
3) Seeking shaven beast
I am tired of all these hairy guys.
Need a real smooth companion.
Get in touch if you are soft to touch.
I can travel to your place (as long as you have no pets).
No time wasters.
Author's note: This I definitely expected to get replies from. Given that Mediterranean/Arab guys often have a little more body hair than their western counterparts, I thought it not unreasonable for somebody to have a fetish for baldies, if not full on alopecia.
4) Dominatrix W4M (30) (BEIRUT)
Are you a pathetic worm?
Of course you are. You are a maggot with no self esteem. You are not very good at your job. You have reduced fertility and no woman would want your neanderthal offspring anyway. You lay awake at night imagining all the things you would say to people if you actually had a set of balls in your withered little sack. You are cannon fodder. You are toilet water. You are a cockroach in a plastic bucket. You are a manufacturing error.
You think nobody knows these things about you.
But I do.
And I will let you know.
Each and every single day
Author's note: I was certain what I had written was just a bit too ridiculous to be taken seriously. Telling someone 'You are not very good at your job' is hardly psychological humiliation. I did enjoy writing the phrase 'withered little sack' though. I also picked the most unattractive picture of a dominatrix I could find on Google (and some of them were really hot).
So the bait had been set. My expectations were low, and any response at all would have brought me some satisfaction, even if it were only to justify that I had spent a whole afternoon conducting this 'project'. But before closing the computer down to spend the evening interacting with actual people I thought I would have a quick check of my email.
Inbox 1
What? How could it be? The first post had only been put up less than an hour ago. It must be some spam about cheap Viagra, or perhaps an email from Craigslist requesting that I somehow prove I am a gay, alopecia loving, wealthy, unmarried dominatrix who likes to go fishing in his/her spare time. My heart was actually starting to beat faster as I opened the inbox.
It was a reply! To the Lonely Fishing Enthusiast. A wonderful, single word reply.
Hi 😉
So the fish had started to bite. I left the virtual nets in place and went into to town for a beer.
The next day I opened up Fred's email address and was thrilled to find 4 more replies. And 3 of them were for the gay fisherman…
The first I opened was a tragically sincere email from Phil.
'Hi there,
I just read your ad on craigslist and I'm wondering what are you looking for? I'm Canadian male in Beirut for the summer and looking for someone to spend time with and maybe have fun with too. So please let me know if you're interested in that. P.s. I dint know anything about fishing .'
Well Phil, I am sure you are a nice guy, but did you READ my post? I said I want to talk about rods and reels and fishing stuff. And here you are, with your shameless lack of fishing knowledge, thinking I'm some cheap hussy. You tart. The next one was from Eddie.
I saw your Ad on CL and i thought it was interesting, i don't know much about fishing i am more a hunting kind a guy, but i was curious, are you lebanese? do you fish here in Leb??? and why did you put the ad in m4m section are you interested in men sexually???'
See that Phil, at least Eddie knows about hunting. And he is asking if I am interested in men sexually, not just assuming. But there are more.
'Hey there,
I found your add online while I was looking for something else… It sounds cool… And nice pic. Haha… I am from Canada… And have been trying to travel around the world for about 15 months… Now i am in cyprus, and I want to come to Beirut/middle east for a few months, and I love fishing! Haha… I'll send you a pic, but I'd love to know a little more about you… Was that you in the picture?
Perfect! Ronan loves fishing! Right Phil, you are definitely out, Eddie you are on the waiting list, Ronan let's get the van fired up and head for the hills.
Sadly I am not gay or a fisherman, otherwise I would feel like a kid on Christmas day. The next email I received was a rather patronizing response to the Rich Man Seeks Wife ad. As she was both attempting to offer services of a commercial nature (which breaks the Craigslist rules) and she offended me personally be insinuating that my 'Midas Charm' would not be enough to lure anyone in I have included her contact details. Feel free to write to her.
I establish contacts to outstanding singles in the Mid East, Europe, America and Asia.
If you are not successful in your search & you seek some exceptional mate in your life kindly check my websites:
www.angelikalancsak.com www.myspace.com/angelikalancsak www.expectexcellenceangelikalancsak.blogspot.com I am well-known for international matchmaking since 1997.
Please reply for further details.
Thanks & best wishes
The thing is Anglelika, the phrase 'If you seek some exceptional mate' has put me right off. I might be a hilariously bad mannered, rich Arab guy but I do not view women as biological specimens. 'Exceptional mate' makes the game sound like ordering from a catalogue of farm animals. So piss off, you cyber pimp. I did check her blog though and she has her own Podcast of love making songs to download. Track 1: Barry White.
Next email received was for the Dominatrix. I had expected a more depraved reply and was shocked by Rami's polite response.
'Hello my dear
my name is rami… i am 26 years old guy living in beirut and used to be in california.. please let me know what you want so we can have a friendly meeting to discuss what you want from me and i will be at your quiet service
Waiting your reply
Well what a sweetheart he sounds. What reason could he possibly have for wanting a big, fat, leather-clad trollop tell him he is a bad person whilst he was tied to a radiator with his own socks? Is it because he is too nice? Maybe he had a mean piano teacher as a kid that really got him going? I will probably never know (Rami if you are reading this please let us in on the mystery).
There was nothing yet for poor old baldy lover. Were there no hairless men for our fictional hero to meet with? There was still time for him, but it was now getting late in the day and real life was calling again. Time to close the computer and check the nets again in the morning.
It's 8am and I am so excited I log into Fred's account before even checking my own email. Ten replies! Ten! Most of them for Gay Fisherman, too. What the hell have I started? Could it be that the Gay Fisherman is actually an untapped genre in the word of 'Miscellaneous' relationships? Perhaps it's the Brokeback Mountain factor, two guys, alone in the wilderness, arranging their worms to catch a bite from something. If this thing develops into a registered fetish (where do you register a fetish?) then I want it known that you heard about it here first.
Over the coming days the calls for gay fisherman were slowly overtaken by the dominatrix, who is now the runaway winner of the contest. And not all of them were as submissive as Rami..
Adam got the ball rolling with this. 'I love feet nd would love to be ur slave from time to time' Thanks for that Adam.
And Chris is apparently a man of stamina. 'I need someone who could show me they have what it takes to keep up with me.'
Habibi seemed to think a Dominatrix would be interested in his hobbies. 'I like outdoor activities, walking, skiing, travelling.'
And my personal favorite LeSheik had a confession to make. 'Unfortunately im married and i prefer the secretive encounter 🙂 i never tried the dominatrix thing, c'est la vie, im sorry 🙂'
God I hope he is a real Sheik…
I got a second message from Phil, who removed any references to his lack of fishing knowledge from his email. Either he went away and read a copy of Trout and Salmon magazine or he was just trying to bluff it. No game Phil, no game.
But before I leave you I want you to know that Rich Arab Guy finally got a genuine message. I am sure he would be delighted…
'Is your cock long and hard as gold, would you like me to pleasure u, u r so sexy what would u like me to do to u..'
The Midas touch indeed…
Happy fishing folks
PS – If anyone is a Gay Fisherman/ Rich Arab/ Dominatrix I may be persuaded to pass some of this information on (free of charge) as I actually started to feel a bit guilty about leading people along. xx

HT Clean My Chandigarh Campaign | Good riddance to bad rubbish
Although the city has a robust rehabilitation policy, there appears to be no end in sight to the perennial problem of squatters. The three slums in the city not only lack sanitation but are also a potential breeding ground for diseases. What we need is a policy of prevention and education.punjab Updated: Jun 09, 2017 15:01 IST
Sanitation is high on the agenda of Resident Welfare Associations in the city. From creating awareness about cleanliness and employing workers for garbage collection to maintaining parks, they are the key to a well-groomed sector. Made up of volunteers, these associations were set up to bridge the gap between the Municipal Corporation (MC) and the people. HT correspondents met some RWAs to find this was far from true. Most of these associations are driven by motivated netizens with little or no support from the corporation.
This is the strategy employed by the Sector 47 Resident Welfare Association to teach the litterbugs a lesson they don't forget in a hurry. "Whenever we find anyone throwing garbage in open, we pick up the bag thrown by the person, and return it to him/her," says Sukhwinder Singh Sidhu, who has been the president of the resident welfare association, Sector 47, for the last eight years.
But it's a strategy fraught with danger. "Often, people take offence and start quarrelling with us," says Sidhu. "They never admit that they have thrown the garbage. One senior citizen had to even show cigarette butts in the polybag to the man to prove that it was thrown by his wife," Sidhu recalls. The man who has helmed the Sector 47 RWA for eight years now, rues that there is utter lack of co-ordination between the Municipal Corporation and the safai karmacharis as well as the company contracted with cleaning the city. "The safai workers go on strike at the drop of hat. There is no one to lift the garbage for days at stretch," fumes Sidhu.
But he also holds residents equally responsible for poor sanitation. "They don't take the initiative of cleaning up their city. They expect others to clean up after them. Some of them even refuse to pay Rs 100 a month to garbage collectors and then dump the waste on the sly."
Sidhu's solution to the garbage problem is simple. "The administration should involve the RWAs so that all the initiatives taken by it are implemented. RWAs work at the grassroots and can effectively help the administration in enforcing its programs, be it segregation of waste or checking the litterbugs."
The president of RWA, Sector 39, Amardeep Singh, has taken on the task of spreading awareness among residents to discourage them from throwing garbage in the open. So he and his team of volunteers go from house to house, and request people not to litter in public spaces. "We request residents not to throw garbage in the open. Things have started improving."
Despite a door-to-door system of garbage collection in Chandigarh, many residents still throw garbage in the dark and isolated corners of their locality. "Garbage collectors don't pick up trash from the roadside and MC employees only sweep the road. Cleanliness of the entire sector is nobody's baby," rues KK Kaul, former president of RWA, Sector 39.
"The garbage pickers are erratic when it comes to garbage collection. Most of the residents staying on rent are tenants who leave the trash bag near the stairs before going to office. But by the time the garbage collector comes, stray dogs have already torn these bags," added Kaul.
What bothers Kaul more is the failure of the Chandigarh Housing Board and the MC to clear the debris dumped at various places in city. "The construction material should be removed at once."
He too believes that increased participation of RWAs would definitely make a difference. "As of now, RWAs are responsible only for the maintenance of parks," says Kaul. "These should be involved in spreading awareness about sanitation schemes. The MC should also use them to get feedback".
Kaul also rues the "pick and choose" policy in constituting the ward committees. "These committees should include people who can make a difference. We need area-specific programmes to make Chandigarh a more beautiful city."
Help yourself is the mantra of Surinder Sharma, president of RWA, Sector 15. Sharma is proud of the work his association is doing to keep the sector clean. "Our residents are very responsible. You won't find them littering. Our senior citizens carry polybags with them to the park so that they can pick up any trash there."
But Sharma is not happy with the MC. "I am in Chandigarh since 1967 and the major civic issues remain the same. Some problems have worsened with time but the MC has failed to solve them," he rues.
Ne cited the illegal encroachments by vendors in Patel market, which lead to traffic jams. "There is no room for pedestrians on the sidewalks in Sector 15 market. Vendors have even eaten into the parking lots, forcing people to park their vehicles on the road leading to traffic jams," he complains.
Talking about cleanliness in the residential areas, he said, "The sector was in a mess during autumn. Sweepers would clean the streets and make a heap of dry leaves, which would again scatter during the day. MC failed to develop an effective mechanism to dispose of the leaves."
Sharma also criticised the filthy public toilets in the sector. "From the last 10 years, we have been demanding that the names and number of sweepers deployed in the sector be made public so that we can fix responsibility, but to no avail," he said.
Rajender Mohan Kashyap, president of RWA, Sector 22, was critical of the MC's autocratic approach towards the residents. "The MC lacks communication skills. On May 28, I got a letter signed by MC Commissioner seeking the help of RWAs in making segregation of waste at household level a success."
The letter mentioned that each house will be provided two free dustbins and segregation will begin by June 5. "Today is June 5. We have neither received any dustbins nor any further communication from the MC. An officer is assigned for every sector but he is yet to approach us," said Kashyap.
Talking about cleanliness, he said, "At several places in the sector, you will find heaps of garbage. The entire lane near Kiran cinema is blocked by encroachers, making it difficult to cross it."
The two-year-old association with 100 members feels awareness is the key to cleanliness.
Sector 44 association believes the key to cleanliness lies in the hands of residents. Ravinder Singh, president of Akash Welfare Society, Sector 44, says, "We have engaged our own sanitation workers for collecting garbage and cleaning the sector."
Singh complained that MC workers do not come to clean the area. "They always give the excuse of staff shortage."
Welcoming the segregation of non-biodegradable and bio-degradable waste, Singh said, "We can implement it more effectively if MC engages with us," he said.
He also complained about the poor functioning of the area councillors, both present and past.
The Sector 34 RWA runs like a welloiled machine with Col Kartar Singh Cheema (retd) at the controls.
There are around 30 parks in Sector 34, but all of them are well maintained thanks to the RWA. "We have a coordinator for every park who has group of four members under him," says Col Cheema. "He is like a sarpanch, and he resolves the issues of houses around that park. Only the unresolved issues come to me,"
This RWA was also among the first to initiate the project of collecting garbage from house to house. It started by charging Rs 70 per house and has now raised it Rs 90. "Earlier, the charge for the ground floor was lesser than that for the first and second floor," said Col Cheema. "But the residents protested, and we decided to levy a uniform charge for all."
He rues that MC has done little to clear encroachments in market places and dumping of garbage in open areas.
The next target for this RWA is segregation of waste.

Submerged, bottom-rooting perennial, to 8+ m. Stems slender, brittle, branched, 1 mm diam. Leaves in whorls of 3 (opposite at base), linear, 6-12 x 2 mm, translucent dark green. Male (very rare) and female flowers on separate plants. Flowers on surface, on long thread-like stalks, 5-petalled, 5 mm diam, white, tinged purple. No seed set in NZ.
All rivers, lakes, dunelakes, other waterbodies with mod-high light and temperatures under 28°C.
Stem fragments root at any node, colonising new sites. New catchments invaded by contaminated boats and trailers, eel nets, diggers, people 'liberating' fish.
Can form deep meadows, shades out smaller native species, prevents recruitment. Large clumps dislodge, causing flooding. Rotting vegetation stagnates water, killing fauna and flora. Threat to dune lakes. Tends to be replaced by lagarosiphon or egeria and others if introduced into the same waterbody.
Almost impossible to fully eradicate. In narrow waterbodies manipulate the plant's growing conditions by reducing light, making it less competitive, eg plant trees to create shade.
1. Bottom lining: kills whole patches including roots. Lay carefully to ensure fragments are not released.
2. Lower water level, mechanically remove, use bottom lining.
3. Suction removal. Mulch. Generally not recommended in large still waterbodies as high chance of fragments spreading. If used, work methodically to trap all fragments, ensure collection bags do not leak. All sites below top of infestation are always at risk.
4. Grass carp: requires consent, contact DoC.
Caution: when using any herbicide or pesticide PLEASE READ THE LABEL THOROUGHLY to ensure that all instructions and safety requirements are followed.

Why shocked by leading stewardess's behaviour?
Hey Singaporeans wake up and face the truth! You buggers are bloody rude too. You ain't treat the cabin crew with an ounce of respect and just because you pay a few peanuts to the airlines,it doesn't mean you can belittle the poor SQ gals or boys....and it doesn't make sense to demand respect too.
The one who complained about not being treated equally as the "Australian couple" should asked "itself" why,why,why???
Click here to the forum.
After more than a week and after an apology from SQ some people still crying out for blood.....what a disgrace those people are!

Sigh... ugly singaporean!
Maybe stewardess oso rude, passenger oso rude so become ugly. Singaporean have a long way to go in terms of manners. We should learn from the japanese. Take pride in our work.

I find it rather strange that this pax Ms Tan told the Lss to pass the ST to her father as she was concerned that her father could not understand english...so if he could'nt understand english...how was he able to read the ST??
Typical kiasu Singaporean...
complain and complain....

I think the Flight Attendant had made inappropriate remark. She could have said: "Sure, no problem. What is your father's seat number, madam? But, we are running out of newspaper at the moment, l will certainly get your father a copy whenever there is one available." Don't you think this should be the way the FA should reply? Flight Attendant is not Fight Attendant ok. :-P

both are at fault. Passengers complaint, LSS arrogant..its pot and kettle case

The pax expect quality service, as advertised by SIA, and just like SIA expecting suppliers to bend their back to deliver quality products and services.

Cannot comment if we are not at the scene.
Writer writes her own version and we only hear one side. Who is at fault ??
No one knows man !! It's only a newspaper for god sake. Don't you read papers at home and MUST READ on board ??? Get a life and move on.
Ah yo ....there are millions stranded in China and cannot go back for CNY. Millions hungry in some developing countries !!!

Anyway, who is right or who is wrong doesn't matter. Let's try flying other airlines. If we don't get good service here, we try other alternative. We'll see. hehe.

I'm impressed with your annotation and also probably why you choose to end your Contract (benefit of doubts) after decades on Contract Basis. Especially being an Ex SQ Cabin Crew like yourself, deep inside I'm sure you know the roots of the problems with the agenda.
Since you have all the time now, do watch Bruce Willis's recent movie "16 Blocks" and asked yourself afterwards.
To me I leave to KARMA and Retribution. What Goes Up Must Come Down.
Hence, I choose to fly with other Premium Airliners except SQ.
PS: I'm a Proud Fellow Singaporean and never once Proud to Invest my hard earned monies with SQ since my last Discrimination Experience on board Singapore Airlines. I rather invested my monies to other Premium Airliners for much non discriminate In flight Service rendered.
Happy Retirement! and Enjoy the silence. :)

A Puppy Journey Takes A Turn
Terry Cross
I took a road trip yesterday to meet Emilie who was the proud as punch new owner of our darling little Tabasco.
Emilie was driving down from Michigan and had asked if I could meet her partway to shorten her trip a little, so I scooped up Chiquita Banana (I know, how do I come up with these names right?) and told her that her sissy had a new home and that she could ride along and keep me company on the way back. I was a bit worried about separating the two girls, they were such fast friends. I hoped if Chiquita saw Tabasco in the arms of her loving new owner it might help a bit.
Wishful thinking on my part.
Puppies are funny creatures and their journey to their forever home sometimes takes a few twists and turns. Chiquita Banana had been reserved a couple of times and I thought both girls would be leaving at the same time but she keep popping back up as one of our available puppies. They were equally beautiful babies, though Tabasco had already bloomed into a fluffy mass of curls that made her undeniably charming, her sister though a bit slower to change coat would have that same abundance before long.
Soon we were north by the lake and found Emilie anxiously waiting for her new puppy. Look at the expressions in the body language of these two babies. Tabasco already knows this is her new owner, already has that dreamy happy contented "this is my new momma" look in her eyes.
But Chiquita was another story entirely.
As Emilie drove off with Tabasco nestled in her crate beside her, I turned and saw this forlorn little person. (I was smitten with guilt, she's clearly asking me WHY I let that strange lady take her sister away?!)
Poor baby Chiquita...
She looked back and forth for Tabasco as I soothed and coaxed and promised her that Tabasco was happy to be with her new family and she was not to worry. What a pitiful face, I had known that she would be upset but oh those eyes!
I pulled back onto the highway and I confess I drove with one hand most of the way as I tried to comfort her repeatedly smoothing her tiny forehead as we wound our way back home and to her first night without her sister. The motion of the car finally lulled Chiquita to sleep and I drove through the evening dusk pondering how such small creatures can have hearts already so full of love.
Chiquita's home will come, I've seen the process unfold many times over the years. One day the sun will rise and her family will find her, or that one special person who has a Chiquita Banana sized empty place in her life, and Chiquita will know the puppy joy that only comes when she begins to love the ones that are to be hers forever.
In the meantime, it's my job to help her navigate her small journey to the place where she belongs, and helping mend little broken hearts is sometimes part of that job description.
This most delightful of puppies has found her way into her perfect forever home, Chiquita with her loving spirit and devoted heart will become a therapy dog for a beautiful young woman who needed a special companion. Chiquita (now known as "Rosie") was the perfect choice to help her navigate health issues this sensitive little girl would be so well suited for.
It was quite a journey but sometimes a puppy finds her way to her home after a road full of stops and starts and detours. I'm so blessed to be part of making puppy dreams come true (sometimes for the puppy as well as her new owners).
