Root Canals
Root canal treatment — also called endodontics ("endo" – inside, "dont" – tooth) — is a set of specialized procedures designed to treat problems of the soft pulp (nerve) tissue inside the tooth. While some mistakenly think of it as an unusually painful treatment, in most cases the procedure is no more uncomfortable than getting a filling. It's actually one of the most effective ways of relieving some kinds of tooth pain.
A root canal procedure becomes necessary when infection or inflammation develops in the pulp tissue of the tooth. Pulp tissue consists of blood vessels, connective tissue and nerve cells — which explains why a problem here may cause you to feel intense pain. In time, the pain may go away… at least temporarily. Without treatment, however, the infection won't. It can lead to a dental abscess, and may even contribute to systemic problems in other parts of the body.
Root Canal Treatment Is Your Friend
We've all heard the gag: "I'd rather have a root canal…" This comedy line, comparing the procedure to something truly undesirable, may be funny — but putting off needed endodontic treatment is no joke. The idea that a root canal procedure invariably comes with complications and pain is a shopworn myth. It's certainly true that infection or inflammation in the tooth's pulp can be excruciatingly painful. But you should remember that having a root canal results in eliminating this acute pain and is not the cause of the pain.
Need another reason not to delay root canal treatment? How about this: A natural tooth that's saved via root canal treatment and restoration helps you avoid the problems that commonly occur when teeth must be removed. These include unwanted tooth migration or shifting, which can lead to difficulties in chewing; the need for bridgework or dental implants, which may be costly and complicated; and even the eventual loss of bone structure from the area of the missing tooth.
Causes of Root Canal Problems
Root canal problems stem from infection and inflammation of the tooth's pulp tissue. One potential cause of infection is deep tooth decay. Untreated dental cavities eventually allow bacteria to work their way down to the center of the tooth, where they may infect the pulp tissue. Another path by which bacteria may come into contact with pulp is via chipped or cracked teeth. Any opening in the protective enamel coating has the potential to allow bacteria access to the tooth's pulp.
Trauma to the tooth — the kind that might result from a sports injury or automobile accident, for example — is also a major cause of pulp tissue damage. In this case, it's essential to seek treatment immediately, both to try and save the tooth, and to prevent future problems.
In some cases, extensive dental work itself may cause damage to the pulp tissue that will need to be treated via a root canal. Having multiple fillings or restorations on the same tooth increases the chances of this type of injury. Occasionally, common procedures like crown preparation or orthodontics may eventually lead to root canal problems.
What to Expect During Root Canal Therapy
If an examination shows that you do need root canal therapy, don't worry — it's one of the most routine and effective procedures in the arsenal of dental treatments and can often be accomplished in just one visit.
The root canal process generally begins the same way as a filling does, and with no greater discomfort: an anesthetic is administered to numb the tooth and the surrounding area. For many patients, the worst is already over.
Next, a small opening is made in the surface of the affected tooth to give access to the pulp chamber and root canals. Tiny instruments are used, sometimes with the aid of a microscope, to remove the dead and dying pulp tissue from inside these narrow passageways. The chamber and empty canals are then cleaned, disinfected, and prepared to receive a filling of inert, biocompatible material. Finally, adhesive cement is used to seal the opening in the tooth, preventing future infection.
Following root canal treatment, your tooth may feel some sensitivity or tenderness for a few days. Over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen are generally effective in relieving discomfort, but prescription medications may also be given if needed. During this period, it may help to avoid biting hard on the affected tooth. All of these symptoms, however, should be temporary.
To further protect the tooth and restore it to full function, it's usually necessary to have a crown or other restoration placed on it. Restorations can take many forms, from traditional gold crowns to tooth replicas made of high-tech tooth-colored material. In any case, you will have made an investment in preserving your dental health for years to come.
Signs and Symptoms of Root Canal Problems
How do you know when you need a root canal? Sometimes, it's painfully obvious. If you feel constant and severe pain and pressure in your mouth, or noticeable swelling and extreme sensitivity in your gums, then it's clear you need to come in for evaluation and treatment right away. Another telltale symptom of pulp tissue damage is sharp pain when you bite down on food. Lingering pain after eating hot or cold foods is also an indication of potential trouble. If you notice any of these symptoms, please come in for an examination.

Children are divided into two categories – one normal or highly intelligent and two, slow learning, or those with mental disabilities. The first category is divided into two categories: those who do not complain about learning disabilities and those who complain.
One who is suffering from the learning disability may be highly intelligent or even a genius but because he did not get proper attention to his condition, for some or the other reason, he may have deviated and caused headache to the community.
One of the reasons may be the failure of the parents to diagnose his condition and provide appropriate attention. One of the most known types of learning disabilities is in reading (dyslexia), which is the most common. There is also the disability in learning math 'dyscalculia', and disability in writing coherently 'dysgraphia'.
The problem of attention deficit, accompanied by hyperactivity, and the problem of dyspraxia, causes difficulty in activities requiring coordination and movement such as tying a shoe lace or buttoning a shirt. All these disabilities impede the progress of an individual, and may be a curse to him and his community, but early diagnosis and therapeutic intervention can often return the child to the right path. Therefore it is very important for those who have the desire, sincerity and experience to diagnose and provide the necessary treatment to prevent the deviation of the child, while focusing on the importance of parental observation, and then seeking treatment for him instead of relying on the illusion that he will be better when he grows.
Early diagnosis is very necessary in such cases. In spite of the presence of dozens of government and private institutions and agencies that provide psychological, physical and social counseling and assistance to people with various disabilities, a few of these known institutions are marvelous in humanitarian, social and security work. The Center for Child Evaluation & Teaching (CCET) is one of the most active institutions has been paying attention to the needs of such children since its establishment 33 years ago by Faten Al Bader, members of her family and the working team. Some of them have been with her since day one and have devoted their time and efforts to this center and sacrificed a lot to make it the best place in Kuwait to diagnose and treat children with disabilities for over three decades. They have succeeded in dealing with tens of thousands of cases. But if not for the efforts of the center, we would have been in a very bad shape at the social and family level.
Today, The Center for Child Evaluation & Teaching (CCET) is considered one of the most respected institutions after having been recognized and appreciated by many local, regional and international institutions. It is a world class training center and a role model and is believed to be on par in importance with Singapore's famous center. In spite of the heavy burden on the management of this non-profit institution which has to work two shifts, morning and evening, to meet the increasing demand, after 33 years of continuous work in silence, it is facing a real problem due to scarcity of resources. This center has now become obsessed and a source of concern to the management for its inability to pay the salaries of employees.
We know of people donating money for religious projects, for example to construct mosques, but The Center for Child Evaluation & Teaching is no less important than any religious project. People can pray anywhere, but it is impossible to provide treatment for a child who has the learning deficiency outside a specialized center. Therefore, we call upon those good-hearted and generous people to financially assist this non-profit organization to help it continue in its national and humanitarian role, and this is what I have done.

Insulation for Your Property or Business in Raleigh, North Carolina
We are professional installers of many kinds of insulation materials. From blown in to fiberglass to spray foam insulation, we are the local experts. You will find few contractors that provide the breadth of services we do when it pertains to insulating your house, your commercial building and even your barn. We are in regular communication with our suppliers which gives us access to the latest technical information and the very best prices on insulation. We are glad you visited our website today and hope you will phone us to fix your insulation challenges.
Varieties of Installation We Install
There are many varieties of insulation. Each type of insulation has its uses and offers distinct advantages for each application. You will discover that insulation can be found in a broad range of prices. All insulation is quantified in units called R-values. The higher the R-value the greater the level of resistance to the movement of heat between spaces. You will need to make certain that the type of insulation you choose will get the job done and provide you with the degree of comfort you seek.
How Insulation Saves You Money in North Carolina
Insulation is pretty much invisible product that can make a huge difference in the quality of your living environment. Insulation also has a true payback on your insulation investment. The better the insulation and installation, the quicker you will recoup your investment in insulation in terms of reduced energy bills. You will be helping the environment by using less energy to heat and cool your house or structure.
How Ventilation Impacts Insulation.
The amount of insulation and the amount of ventilation in a structure needs to be properly balanced for your home or structure to function optimally. Too often we see that ventilation, especially in attics, has been clogged. Your goal should be to have a well-functioning ventilation and insulation system in your home or building. We have the ideal testing procedures to determine if you have any air leaks, clogged vents or other problems that affect the quality of your ventilation and insulation system.
Are There Insulation Rebates in the Raleigh, NC Area?
A good reason to phone us is that we know about the available tax rebates in our area. Rebates can originate from manufacturers or they can come from the state or municipality. Keeping abreast of rebates offered to our clients is one of the things we do in order to help you benefit from all the advantages an insulation upgrade can offer.
Attic Insulation in Raleigh
One of the most essential spots of your home or building to insulate correctly is your attic. Insulating an attic properly will keep heated air from leaking into the living areas in the summertime. It will also prevent heated air from living spaces escaping into an unheated attic in the cold months. Air movement such as these is the cause of higher energy bills and less comfortable living areas. Because the attic is a massive area, it is typically one of the first spaces where we improve the quality and quantity of insulation present. You will also benefit because your hvac system will not need to work as hard and will last longer.
Insulating a Basement or Crawl Space
The basement and crawl space are 2 locations that should be checked for adequate insulation. The ideal form of insulation will reduce moisture and drafts in crawl spaces and basements. Installing insulation in between basements and crawl spaces and living areas will ensure that your floors are not cold and there are no cold spots in your living areas. You will also discover that spray foam insulation also can help with insect and rodent control in underground spaces like basements.
Varieties Of Insulation Available in Raleigh, NC
The variety of insulation we recommend depends on the degree of protection and comfort you prefer for your home or building. We install four different types of insulation: spray insulation, cellulose, blown in fiberglass and rigid foam insulation.
Spray insulation is the best insulation to seal out air and insulate at the same time. It is a chemical substance that spreads out to fill every hole and is waterproof and insect resistant. There are two varieties, closed cell and open cell.
Blown-in cellulose insulation is fire resistant and is made from recycled materials. It is used in attics and wall cavities and is resistant to pests and mold. Loose-fill fiberglass insulation is blown in fiberglass scraps and has similar applications to cellulose insulation. It is a very cost-effective insulating product.
For attics, basements and crawl spaces, rigid foam insulation with a radiant barrier is an ideal solution. It is a long lasting insulating choice and is primarily installed in unfinished areas of the home or business buildings.
Wall Insulation
Many houses don't have enough insulation in their wall cavities. Gradually, batts and loose-fill insulation can sag or become soaked and will lose their insulating ability. We can use different insulation materials to fix this issue including injection foam, blown-in fiberglass and spray foam. The variety of insulation product we recommend will depend on how accessible the walls are from the outdoors.
Raleigh Garage Insulation.
One of the many spots where insulation can improve the comfort of living rooms is the garage. Builders overlook insulating a garage adequately to save money on building expenses. Energy loss from an inadequately insulated garage can originate from the garage ceiling, walls and the access door from the house to the garage. To boost your home's comfort and efficiency, phone us to help you upgrade your garage insulation.
Insulating Air Ducts
Uninsulated duct work in the basement, crawl space or up in the attic is a reason for wasted energy and wasted money. We can insulate your ductwork with foil blankets, spray foam insulation or covering up attic ductwork with blown-in insulation. Insulating and sealing off your ducts will make sure that you are not losing heat in the wintertime and cooled air in the summer months and making your hvac system work much harder than it should.
Insulation For Pipes
Improperly insulated water pipes are a cause of wasted water and wasted energy in Raleigh, North Carolina. You will wait longer for hot water to get to your taps if your pipes are not insulated properly. We can suggest the type and size of pipe insulation you will need to get the fastest delivery of very hot water and the best results in terms of energy savings.

We have cloned the his7+ gene of the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe by complementation of the recessive mutant allele his7-366. The his7+ gene is able to complement a mutation of the Escherichia coli hisI gene, suggesting that his7+ encodes a phosphoribosyl-AMP cyclohydrase. Subcloning experiments localize the gene to a 1.9-kb XbaI-BglII fragment. We describe the construction of plasmids to facilitate the use of his7+ as a selectable marker in S. pombe studies. Plasmid pEA2 carries his7+ cloned into the pUC18 polylinker. From either pEA2 or the original his7+ clone, pMN1, fragments carrying his7+ can be isolated using a variety of restriction enzymes for the construction of gene disruptions. Plasmid pEA500 is a cloning vector that carries his7+ and ars1, yet retains the ability to use the blue/white color screen to identify recombinants.

Expression of a neomycin phosphotransferase II (NPTII) gene has been designed to be regulated by an FLP-mediated switching of the orientation of the NPTII coding region located on the invertible DNA segment in episomal yeast plasmids. Inversion of the segment from inverted to direct orientation with respect to the promoter resulted in a dramatic increase in G418 resistance. FLP also promoted a double reciprocal exchange between the transforming and the resident 2-μm plasmid, leading to insertion of the FLP and REP2 genes into the transforming plasmid. The results demonstrate a possible use of FLP recombinase for 'phase variation'-type regulation of gene expression and gene replacement in eukaryotic cells.

We have cloned the yeast allele HOM3-R2, that codes for a mutant aspartate kinase which is insensitive to feedback inhibition by threonine, by gap-repair. A strain carrying this allele in a multicopy plasmid, or integrated into the genome, accumulates 14-times and 8-times more threonine than the wild-type, respectively. The sequence of the mutant allele differs from that of the wild-type in a single base pair change, namely a G by an A, at position 1355 in the open reading frame. The fact that the presence of this mutant allele in a cell induces threonine overproduction points to aspartate kinase as the key enzyme in the regulation of threonine biosynthesis in yeast.

The PEL1 gene of Saccharomyces cerevisiae is essential for the cell viability of mitochondrial petite mutants, for the ability to utilize glycerol and ethanol on synthetic medium, and for cell growth at higher temperatures. By tetrad analysis the gene was assigned to chromosome III, centromere proximal of LEU2. The PEL1 gene has been isolated and cloned by the complementation of a pel1 mutation. The molecular analysis of the chromosomal insert carrying PEL1 revealed that this gene corresponds to the YCL4W open reading frame on the complete DNA sequence of chromosome III. The putative Pel1 protein is characterized by a low molecular weight of approximately 17 kDa, a low codon adaptation index, and a high leucine content.

A cDNA coding for glucoamylase P of Hormoconis resinae was cloned using a synthetic oligonucleotide probe coding for a peptide fragment of the purified enzyme and polyclonal anti-glucoamylase antibodies. Nucleotide-sequence analysis revealed an open reading frame of 1848 base pairs coding for a protein of 616 amino-acid residues. Comparison with other fungal glucoamylase amino-acid sequences showed homologies of 37–48%. The glucoamylase cDNA, when introduced into Saccharomyces cerevisiae under the control of the yeast ADC1 promoter, directed the secretion of active glucoamylase P into the growth medium.

The GUT1 gene of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, encoding glycerol kinase, was cloned and sequenced. The cloned genomic DNA fragment contains an open reading frame potentially coding for a protein of 709 amino acids with homology to bacterial glycerol kinases (40.8% identity over 502 amino acids, and 42.1% identity over 496 amino acids, in comparison to the smaller E. coli and B. subtilis enzymes). Disruption of GUT1 showed that the gene is required for growth on glycerol, but not on glucose or ethanol media. No glycerol kinase activity was detected in the disruption mutant. According to enzyme activity and transcript analysis, synthesis of glycerol kinase is repressed by glucose, and derepression is ADR1-dependent.

Autonomously-replicating, marker-less "helper" plasmids were added to transformations of Aspergillus nidulans with plasmids which normally transform by chromosomal integration. This resulted in as much as a 200-fold increase in transformation efficiency. Recovery of autonomously-replicating plasmid co-integrates indicated that co-transformation involves recombination between integrating and helper plasmids, which occurs at a high frequency. Increasing DNA sequence-homology between pairs of plasmids used in simultaneous transformations enhanced co-transformation efficiency. Using helper plasmids and an A. nidulans gene library in a normally-integrating vector, the genes adC and adD were cloned as part of such a co-integrate. In effect, the addition of helper plasmid converts an integrating into an autonomously-replicating gene library in vivo.

The C-URA3 gene of the n-alkane assimilating-yeast Candida maltosa was cloned by complementation of the ura3 mutation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The nucleotide sequence of C-URA3 and its deduced amino-acid sequence showed significant homology to those of the orotidine 5′-phosphate decarboxylases of other fungal species. To construct a useful host for genetic engineering of C. maltosa using C-URA3 as a marker, one allele of C-URA3 in a double auxotroph (his5, ade1) was disrupted by C-ADE1, and subsequently two kinds of ura3 mutants were isolated by selecting for spontaneous 5-fluoro-orotic acid (5FOA) resistance. One of the mutants was homozygous for the disruption (ura3::C-ADE1/ura3::C-ADE1); the other was heterozygous (ura3::C-ADE1/ura3). The ura3::C-ADE1 allele in the latter strain was re-substituted by C-URA3 to rescue the adenine auxotroph (his5, ade1, C-URA3/ura3). Finally, by selecting a 5FOA-resistant mutant, a triple auxotroph (his5, ade1, ura3/ura3) was isolated.

The gene coding for 3-phosphoglycerate kinase (PGK) in ML-236B (compactin)-producing Penicillium citrinum was isolated from the recombinant phage lambda library using the corresponding Aspergillus nidulans pgk gene as a probe. The P. citrinum pgk gene has an open reading frame of 1,254 bp, encoding a protein of 417 amino acids with a predicted molecular weight of 44,079 daltons. The position of the two introns, 59 and 60 bp respectively, was deduced from an homology comparison with the sequence of the A. nidulans pgk gene. The PGK protein of P. citrinum shows extensive high homology to the PGKs of four other fungi: P. chrysogenum (93%), A. nidulans (84%), Trichoderma reesei (78%) and Saccharomyces cerevisiae (68%). Almost total conservation is found in P. citrinum of residues thought to be important for the structure and function of the yeast enzyme. The strong codon preference found has greater similarity to that in other filamentous fungi than in yeast. A DNA fragment encompassing the pgk gene was shown to hybridize a 1.35-kb poly(A)+RNA, sufficient to encode the PGK polypeptide. A fused gene, pgk-hpt, containing the putative pgk promoter and the open reading frame of the Escherichia coli hygromycin B phospho-transferase (hpt) gene was constructed, and was successfully used to transform P. citrinum to a hygromycin B (HmB)-resistant phenotype.

The filamentous fungus Aspergillus niger produces two glycosylated forms of the sucrose-hydrolysing enzyme, invertase. In contrast, some Trichoderma species lack invertase and are unable to utilise sucrose as a sole carbon source. Using an A. niger genomic library constructed in a cosmid vector containing the ura5 gene of Podospora anserina as a selectable marker, and the T. reesei ura5- strain as a sucrose-minus recipient strain, an A. niger invertase gene (suc1) has been cloned by a sib selection procedure. PAGE and enzyme analysis confirmed that transformants had acquired invertase activity. The cloned gene contained DNA sequences which were complementary to the amino-acid sequences of tryptic peptides found in invertase purified from A. niger. The suc1 invertase gene can be used as a dominant selectable marker for the transformation of Trichoderma strains.

Constructing a Music Festival
A music festival is an event held outdoors that compromises of many musical performances. It could be held at a regular interval or not. The venue is usually organised in tents, temporary stages and podiums as well as other temporary structures to act as changing rooms or resting rooms for the musician. The festival could focus on a specific genre of music or it could incorporate different genres, it could be open to people of a certain nationality or open to international audiences. The music festival also incorporates other things like food vending, children's activities, selling cultural and beauty items, showcasing other talents and even charitable activities to increase the diversity and encourage participation by a diverse audience.
Safety measures when constructing music festivals
The event organisers must put in place safety measures to prevent or minimise the level of injuries during the event. Measures such as using slip protected floor boards for fall prevention, covering wires and electric cables running all over the place to prevent tripping, incorporating railing around podiums to prevent falls, ensuring that all dangerous areas are clearly marked as well as ensuring that no sharp edges or items such as screws and nails are left lying around. All podiums must be stable and balanced to prevent toppling or collapsing during the performances. They should also be made of high quality and strong materials that cannot easily be destroyed by high human traffic.
More information on fall prevention
How is a music festival constructed?
A music festival usually occurs on temporary structures including podiums, changing quarters and washrooms. First you must decide which components can be brought in whole and just installed such as the portable washrooms. You then come up with a design for the whole site: where will the podiums be situated, where will the equipment be stored, where the washrooms and quarters will be located and so on. The design should be logical, allow free flow of people and ensure security. You may then identify experts who can work on different aspects to ensure they are completed on time. Outsourcing these services to an organisation is better than hiring independent consultants for different sections. Remember that the structures will be dismantled after the festival and therefore the same company can be tasked with the dismantling.
Equipment needed in the construction of a music festival
The equipment required will depend on the materials being used for the construction. For example, if wooden podiums are being constructed, you will require saws, hammers, screw drivers, drills, nail guns, jointer and sanding equipment. When using metallic components, you will require grinders, screws, jointers, nibblers, fabrication and welding equipment and hacksaws. Remember that all equipment must be handled by professionals to prevent accidents.
Other safety tips
The festival is likely to attract quite a huge number of people. It is therefore paramount to ensure that there are several entry points and exit points to enhance faster flow of people and minimise the chances of overcrowding near the entrance. You should also remember to hire excellent security services since in such crowds there are bound to be people with ill intentions. All vendors and personnel must be vetted to enhance the security.

Best travel plans are those which are unplanned. And this trip was no exception. It has been almost a year since I went on any trip; All thanks to the corporate life and the commitments. But now, I've left that life behind and have been on my own for quite some time. Thanks to being a full time content creator and a photographer. So, this is how it all came to be.
A normal discussion between two of my friends (Mayank and Sachin) was something which resulted in this trip and if for not them, the trip could not have been a possibility. Sachin was back in town after a long time, and he primarily had the itch to go somewhere and Mayank supported him. Though both had quite a deep conversation about the destination. I was still not part of the discussion and had no idea that in few days we will be moving from 45 degree celsius temperature of New Delhi to -3 of Himalayas. The plan of two people now had me as third person and before we could realize the number shot up to 8 people. 2 of Sachin's office friends (Priyanka and Smita) from Pune would join us in few days. Also Mayank's 2 cousins (Rakesh and Saurabh) and his sister in law (Kritika) would be part of the travel memoir too.
The destination which was selected is one of the char dhams or in other words, is one among four holy pilgrimages of Hindus in india and across world. Name of the place is Kedarnath. Kedarnath is a small town in Rudraprayag district of Uttarakhand State of India. This place is famous for it's Kedarnath temple which is 3,583m above sea level near Chorabari Glacier, the head of river "Mandakini".
May end being the peak season for travellers in this region meant that we will have transport issues. 16, June 2013 was the day when almost everything was destroyed in the flash floods, and we were still skeptical of the road conditions. Hence we decided to travel by public transport. We started looking for the best possible transport options, but due to lakhs of devotees visiting Kedarnath, it became little problematic. Finally we were able to get Volvo bus till Dehradun and from there we took a Trax vehicle by Force motors. And to be honest, it served us to the point where it took us from Dehradun to Sonprayag and back, but it was barebone and had practically no features. It did not have AC, did not have seat belts, the doors could open anytime, window rollers were broken, seats were the most uncomfortable I've ever rested myself on and what not. But the engine was solid as rock and probably the only good thing about this vehicle.
We took bus from New Delhi at midnight and reached Dehradun by morning 0500 Hrs. From there we took taxi at 0700 Hrs which dropped us at Sonprayag at about 1800 Hrs. This is the last point till which vehicles are allowed. Identifying this area is really easy. Just look up and you will see choppers flying every 5 minutes. When we got off from taxi, we were worried about getting a place for night stay as Sonprayag at this point was filled with thousands of devotees and the way they were sleeping gave us winter chills. But somehow we were able to get exceptionally good stay, all thanks to Garhwal Mandal Guest house. We got dormitory for reasonable price and it had clean bathrooms, restrooms and clean beds. Dinner was also exceptionally good and after filling our tummies to brim, we called it a day.
Next day would start at 0500 Hrs and one by one everyone got ready. The dormitory did not have option for warm water, so we took bath in freezing cold water. Had light breakfast and we checked out from our dorm by 0700 Hrs. From Sonprayag we had to reach Gaurikund which is approx 5 Kms. This is the point where we realized our mistake. After the floods of 2013, Government had made it mandatory to register every visitor. Now, this can be done at two places. One in Rishikesh and another at Sonprayag. We had no idea about this and ended up wasting over 2 hours to get ourselves registered. Once we got ourselves registered, another struggle started. We had to wait in a kilometer long queue to pass the bridge and from other side we were to get taxi which will drop us at Gaurikund for mere 20 bucks. .
The above photo will give you approx idea of the number of people at Gaurikund. this is only one part of it. The whole trek was almost as crowded as this one. The point from where the trek starts, the notification board says 16 Kms one way. This would turn out to be false because the GPS of my phone and step counter indicated 19 Kms once we finished the trek, Thats huge error margin.
If you are going to this place thinking that you would get natural air and fresh mountain fragrance, then I advise you to be prepared to smell horse shit the whole route. Most of the time the Ponies would not give you any space to walk and the palkiwalas does not make things easier too. Though I completely respect them. It takes unmatched stamina and courage to carry people on back and walk the whole route. But, If you can't walk then I highly suggest that you take chopper and save yourself time and energy. It will cost you approximately same as hiring a pony.
All of my cribbing about what is not good at this place ends right there. One look around and you forget all the chaos, the stinking smell and droves of people. All becomes blur in front of the majestic beauty of Himalayas. As you start climbing, the route becomes steeper and more beautiful with every curve. Mandakini flowing beneath feels like a dramatic musical score in an adventure movie. You don't realize when the scorching heat starts turning into cool breeze and soon you are digging deep in your backpacks to find gloves and woolen caps. The weather is unapologetic and can change at any moment. Hence it's vital to be aware of changing weather and be prepared for anything. If you don't miss out on signs the mother nature throws at you, you wouldn't get stuck in sticky situation.
As we got closer to our destination, we now had an awakening and respect towards mother nature. The gigantic mountains, valleys and everything our nature has provided is much bigger then our self inflicted egos and pride. Trip to Himalayas will always teach you to be humble and caring. And if not, you wouldn't get a second chance at redemption. The route now is longer due to the fact that the original trek was washed away in the floods which took lives of thousands of people. Many of which are still missing. We always heard about it, Saw it on TV and internet, but realized the magnitude of the destruction when we looked at the pathway which used to be the only route till 2013. Most of it is non existent now. All through our journey we all kept wondering how it must have felt to be stuck in such situation, where you knew you have no way out and this would be your last day on earth. What would be your thoughts, your emotions and fears? We wondered about everything which we saw and imagines and kept on thinking why? Why would people still come here? Why would they risk of getting stuck in same situation? why risk life.
As soon as we reached the base, looked above and got awestruck with the sheer beauty of snow covered peaks and gigantic mountains all around us. It felt like, that even after all the destruction we humans bring with ourselves, the Himalayas were still welcoming us. They still loved us. And the fact that everything was destroyed in the floods except the Kedarnath Temple. You may call it coincidence or a miracle that a huge rock got struck right behind the temple, diverted the water and as result not even a scratch was inflicted on the temples structure. Faith can fill you up with different set of feelings and practical mind with another. But in the modern day and age, It's our duty to balance both equally.
Next morning we woke up at 3 AM and were ready by 4 AM. Ran straight for temple because we were told that people start getting in queue from 2-3 AM itself. Keeping that in mind, we were pretty late and thankfully the queue was not too long. Queue started moving by 5 AM and we were able to get inside temple by 8 AM. Photography is prohibited, hence I could not click anything inside but honestly speaking, once you're inside, you will get a sense of accomplishment and you would thank your stars that you were able to have this moment. But this feeling could not last as people started pushing and the pandits started shouting so that we move. It's a small temple and there is practically no place inside to stand a moment and cherish the moment. We were out of temple before we could even capture everything in our memories but one memory we created that day. We felt pure happiness.
And below are the people who made this trip memorable.

New Israeli deputy envoy opens historic parliamentary exhibit
Sharon Bar-li was introduced to Britain's Israel supporters
Stephen is the Jewish News' Foreign Editor
Israel's new deputy ambassador in London was introduced to Israel's British supporters this week as she opened a parliamentary exhibit of Jewish links to her homeland.
Sharon Bar-li, who only began work on Monday, paid tribute to the Simon Wiesenthal Center for curating an exhibit chronicling more than 3,500 year of Jewish history, saying: "From exile and struggle, to the rebirth of a nation… Israel has remained the epicentre of Jewish life."
In a short speech full of biblical references, Bar-li said Israel "indisputably remains the homeland of the Jewish people biblically, historically, morally and culturally," and paid tribute to Lord Balfour, as she cited the upcoming centenary of the Balfour Declaration.
Britain's foreign secretary in 1917, Balfour "recognised this precious bond between the people, the book, and the land," she said, in what was "the first statement by a major power to recognise the Jewish people's right to sovereignty in their homeland".

MIT Media Lab's blockchain-based encrypted data marketplace, Enigma, is going to launch its beta version soon, according to its website. Enigma will allow untrusted and anonymous participants to securely share sensitive data with a third party.
Enigma is a decentralized cloud platform with privacy. Private data is stored, shared and analyzed without ever being fully revealed to any party. Secure multiparty computation, empowered by the blockchain, is the technology behind it.
[Enigma] is a peer-to-peer (P2P) network, enabling different parties to jointly store and run computations on data while keeping the data completely private, states the Enigma white paper written by Nathan, Zyskind and Pentland. Enigma's computational model is based on a highly optimized version of secure multiparty computation, guaranteed by a verifiable secret-sharing scheme. For storage, Enigma uses a modified distributed hash table for holding secret-shared data.
An external blockchain is utilized as the controller of the network, manages access control, identities and serves as a tamper-proof log of events. Security deposits and fees incentivize operation, correctness and fairness of the system," the white paper continues. "Similar to bitcoin, Enigma removes the need for a trusted third party, enabling autonomous control of personal data. For the first time, users are able to share their data with cryptographic guarantees regarding their privacy.
The most interesting use case we're hearing from potential users is the ability to do data science and machine learning on encrypted data sets. Other use cases include private smart contracts and 'IoT with privacy', Zyskind said to Bitcoin Magazine.
The Linux Foundation, a nonprofit organization enabling mass innovation through open-source platform, announced a new collaborative effort of the financial and tech industries giants to advance the blockchain technology called the Open Ledger Project. The project will develop an enterprise grade, open-source distributed ledger framework and free developers to focus on building robust, industry-specific applications, platforms and hardware systems to support business transactions
Blockchain technology can enable major advancements in the speed and security of financial services, it allows securities to be settled in minutes instead of days; it can be used to help companies manage the flow of goods and related payments or enable manufacturers to share production logs with regulators to reduce product recalls. There is a wide range of applications for blockchain technology, and the Open Ledger Project is another step of the industry leaders in adopting it.

While moving can be an exciting milestone, it's also considered one of the top five most stressful life situations — and for good reason. The process is arduous, your schedule is disrupted, and it can be costly. The key to making everything go smoothly has everything to do with planning, so don't wait until the last minute to create a plan that can help make moving as stress-free as humanly possible. Here are seven tasks that need to make your to-do list.
Decide If You're Going to Hire a Pro
If you're making a short move to a smaller apartment or condo without an overabundance of personal things, it's possible that you can handle the move yourself. Just keep in mind that you won't have anyone to help you load/unload cumbersome items like furniture. For larger moves, it can behoove you to hire professional movers and packers to do the heavy lifting. One of the most appealing aspects is how much time you'll save. Pros can turn a two- to three-week packing and moving process around in four to seven days or less. Not to mention, your move is insured in case anything gets broken, damaged, or lost. Regardless of who is packing the boxes, don't stow items like money, valuable papers, expensive jewelry, perishable items, medications, firearms, plants, flowers, and flammable items. Just make sure to book a mover as far in advance as possible — especially if you're moving during a busy season.
Make a Plan for Your Pets
Moving can be a traumatic, stressful experience for a pet, so make arrangements for your furry friends prior to moving day. Slowly introduce your pet to its new surroundings. For cats, only let them snoop around one to two rooms before letting them loose in the entire household. Make sure you try to maintain the same routine as much as possible and don't purchase any new blankets, toys, or feeding bowls — the scent of familiar items will help them feel comforted. These items should be close at hand, so don't pack them away. If possible, ask someone to watch your pets on move-in day so they aren't stressed out by all the activity. Otherwise, keep them sequestered in one area with plenty of food, water, bedding, and toys.
Pack an Essentials Box
It's unrealistic to think everything is going to be in order the day you move in, so make sure you pack an essentials box to get you through the first night. Key items to pack include electronics, keys, toilet paper and toiletries, snacks and beverages, all-purpose cleaner, plates and utensils (even disposable), a change of clothes, pajamas, pillows and blankets, garbage bags, a flashlight, an emergency kit, and a shower curtain so you can take a mess-free rinse the next morning.
Update Your Mailing Address
At least three weeks prior to moving to your new abode, change your address with the United States Postal Service. You'll also need to individually contact other organizations such as your bank, credit card companies, bills such as utilities and student loans, clubs, your employer, health insurance, online retailers you regularly use, crowdfunding sites, voter registration, and anything else of importance.
Arrange for Utilities to Be Switched
Before you move into your new home, make sure your utilities are switched on. You may want to assess all your options to see if there's a way to make your bills more cost-effective. For example, you may want to forgo a landline and only use your cell phone. Switch to natural gas instead of electricity to heat your home, heat your water, and dry your clothing.
If you were adequately prepared, then the day of the move should be relatively stress-free. If family and friends are helping you out, schedule them in shifts so no one has to give up an entire day. Make sure you have refreshments on hand (pizza delivery usually does the trick) to thank everyone for their efforts.

That's a great pic Pete! Thanks!

That's a great pic Pete! Thanks!
An updated Luke will be hitting next year! He also really likes the Cutlass (and especially the single coils) so that is the reason he rocks it sometimes.
Brash, what are your thoughts on the sonic differences between the BFR and Barolo?
Aug 6th!
There isn't anything you need to do differently on roasted maple compared to "regular" maple.
Were you guys just in the room during our BFR 2020 meeting???
The 5 Sting has the larger bridge, 9v, and alnico pickups. The 4 string has neo mags / smaller bridge ect...
Cutlass single coils and new MM humbucker.
The 25th Anni Lukes are late October. The normal run of BFR instruments will street domestically on 10-15-18. There will be four instruments: Majesty, Stingray guitar, Axis, and Valentine.
No new changes for the JP15 in 2019. It's one of our best sellers.
It is not a part of the official bi-monthly BFR release if that is what you are asking Glenn
25 of these will street October 30th. 19 Domestic / 6 International. Maybe Pete will have one??
It's considered a pearl finish.
The headstock is laser etched. Stay tuned....very soon...
We will be discontinuing the NT Stingrays in 2019....
BFR's will be released every two months from here on out. The next launch is scheduled for October.
You obviously have exquisite taste.
Burnt Apple was a standard production color in the early 2000's. I don't believe we've done a limited edition BA. The 2018 Burnt Apple is different from the earlier one.
Yes all BFR have stainless frets.
You know I'm just hassling ya...
The orange looks different on every reverb page. Its cool how the angles and lighting can turn it different shades. This AL is def out there..but that is kinda...
My man.
GW bring your pocketbook or some guitars to trade. :)
At least post pics of the back of the neck Glenn!!
Correct Jones! We almost didn't bring the AL since we had it pegged for about 30...it ended up being 75 which will be a nice chunk of AL sales. Would you use your best/favorite.most digestible...
Yeah Will it's the same exact finish that was on those Boss 'Stangs...As far as how they were named in the 60's and 70's I have no idea. Sometimes we use the stock name if it's cool and other times...

Today I was leading a requirements-gathering meeting with some government biologists. There was a topic to reserve for later discussion, so I wrote "Parking Lot" on the whiteboard as usual.
Car metaphors are over-used in business facilitation, so I asked them for alternatives from the natural world. Hibernation was suggested! So from now on, I will be saving up ideas in a cave, den, or some other hibernaculum.
The ensuing laughter might explain why they said "Alana, you make this [requirements-gathering] much less painful than it could be!"

In the Valley of Elah (2007)
Director: Paul Haggis
Cast: Tommy Lee Jones, Charlize Theron, Jason Patric, Susan Sarandon, James Franco, Josh Brolin
Plot: A career officer and his wife work with a police detective to uncover the truth behind their son's disappearance following his return from a tour of duty in Iraq.
Genre: Drama / Mystery
Awards: Nom. for 1 Oscar - Best Leading Actor. Nom. for Golden Lion (Venice).
Runtime: 124min
Rating: M18 for violent and disturbing content, language and some sexuality/nudity.
IN RETROSPECT (Spoilers: MILD)
Paul Haggis may just have been a one-off wonder, a temporary hit with no clear sign of sustainable filmmaking talent. After the surprised success of Crash (2005), which undeservedly won the Oscar for Best Picture two years ago (it should have been given to Lee Ang's groundbreaking Brokeback Mountain or Steven Spielberg's Black September drama - Munich), Haggis decides cleverly to capitalize on his sudden fame by quickly getting his next project on the move.
In the Valley of Elah sounds more exciting that the film promises; but it is really another in a long chain of films this year (Rendition, Sicko, Lions for Lambs) with the intent of doing damage to the US government: for their mistakes in Iraq, as well as the mysterious ways they take to preserve their 'glorious' human rights record.
Haggis may have some filmmaking pedigree, but he's yet to establish his style and consistency at such an infant stage of his feature-film career. While Crash was an engaging ensemble drama on racism, In the Valley of Elah is a dull account of one man's mission to find the real truth of his soldier son's death.
That man is played by Tommy Lee Jones, a casting job that is spot-on. His impressive performance as an aged, crease-faced father, who spends most of his screen time looking dejected, is surprisingly upstaged by Charlize Theron, playing a female cop who will stop at nothing to expose the truth.
In the Valley of Elah moves at a glacier pace, without any injection of adrenaline till the last fifteen minutes of the film. It's sometimes compelling drama, unfortunately it often feels lethargic on most occasions, except when Theron is on screen.
Haggis' screenplay is a tad too predictable; there's one particular invigorating moment though, occurring in the later stages of the film that bucks the trend – from a repeatedly-shown photo of a blue, decapitated van, and what seems like a dead body lying in the middle of a road, plus a group of kids running toward it, Jones pieces in his mind in a flashback of what made his son such a wrecked soul during a course of duty in Iraq.
Good stuff, but it only happens sporadically. In the Valley of Elah is an average motion picture that will probably lose out in the Oscar stakes. And I have never heard the story of David versus Goliath told that appallingly.

March resolution updateApril 15th, 2011 at 08:22 pm
Wow - I've been busy. I better update March before April is over!
1. Hold a yard sale. I'll tackle this one in May/June.
2. Continue to eat clean. Doing quite well with this.
3. Do something new each month. Although I met a goal as something new last month, I am saying I did it again. This time it was a sales goal. I had doubts (at first) and then decided to go for it, and I did it! I also tried brussel sprouts for the first time. Not a fan.
4. Pay off parent loan 2. In progress.
5. Save up for and get a new roof. Not for a while. Still working on the emergency fund.
6. Complete a marathon each month. I ended up walking over 50 miles in March. I decided to change my fitness goals since then, however. I will be going to the gym a few mornings a week (we have one where I work) and will be working on completing the P90X series (once I get my DVDs back!).
7. Fully fund the emergency fund. In progress!
8. Finish up the taxes from the business and get the rest of the paperwork and boxes into the storage area and out of the office. I did complete our taxes, but haven't begun the business ones.
9. Spend more time with my friends and family. Although life was hectic, I was able to spend some phone time with family, and went to dinner with friends.
10. Be happy. It's spring! How can I not be happy?

Javier Bardem Teams up With Steven Spielberg for Amazon Miniseries
Oscar-winning actor Javier Bardem has landed the lead role of 16th century Spanish explorer Hernan Cortes in a four-hour miniseries for Amazon Studios.
"It is a privilege to tell this epic story—one that is full of drama and conflict within this huge, historical spectacle where two distant civilizations clash at the height of their reign," Bardem said in a statement Monday.
'Bosch,' 'Westworld' and More Coming to Amazon in April 2018
Amazon original 'Bosch' returns for Season 4 on April 13.
"The best and worst of human nature came to life in all its light and darkness. As an actor, there is no better challenge than to serve such a unique project that I have been passionate about for years, and I am thrilled to be working with this dream team of Steven Spielberg, Steven Zaillian and Amazon."
Zaillian wrote the series and will executive produce it with Bardem and Steven Spielberg.
Zaillian and Spielberg previously worked together on the classic World War II drama Schindler's List.
Bardem is known for his roles in Mother!, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, Skyfall, No Country for Old Men and Vicky Cristina Barcelona.

It's here again: The Pro Football Hall of Fame Enshrinement and the all-encompassing festival of events to celebrate the affair. I have been living the experience all of my life, much like many of you.
I recall fond memories of many favorite events such as the grand parade, but it was not until I began working in tourism that I began to realize the impact of the week stretches far beyond my favorite childhood memories. Try to imagine the Enshrinement Week experience through fresh, new eyes, as though you were a first-time visitor in town to witness the ultimate gathering of football greats. For many, Enshrinement Week is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
I have had the opportunity to travel to many major events, including the NFL Draft and Super Bowl. I can say, without hesitation, the execution of Enshrinement Week is on the same scale. What our community pulls together to accomplish each year is a fete to be commended and not overlooked. It is another aspect of Enshrinement Week I never gave enough consideration to while growing up here.
The collaborative efforts of staff, volunteers, city and township officials, public safety and service employees — and the list could go on — deserves high praise and recognition. The kindness and hospitality shown by the people here is often the first and foremost compliment we hear.
One thing I do recall throughout my life is the pride and excitement of seeing the place I lived on television and in the national spotlight. Hearing "Canton" repeated over and over again by pro athletes, commentators, news anchors and other celebrity figures was surreal.
The media coverage is so expansive, it's nearly impossible to apply a dollar value. The Hall's annual report places the value at nearly $80 million. In the day of influencer marketing, the amount of star athletes and other pop culture personalities on the ground sharing their experiences with slews of social media followers has a value that easily rivals the mass media.
Beyond the speculative value, there is also cold, hard cash, out of the pockets of the visitors and into our local economy. Direct spending in our hotels, gas stations, grocery stores, restaurants, attractions and more. Direct spending that impacts local businesses, employees, state and local tax funds.
Recent research shows an overnight visitor in Ohio spends on average $369 per trip and $116 for a day trip visitor. Here in Stark County visitor spending supports 1 in 13 full-time equivalent jobs and generated $102.8 million in state and local taxes. Some people visit and do not step foot into an official event. They just know Hall of Fame weekend is the time to be in Canton, and they come home or to visit simply to be part of the energy surrounding the events.
As we head into the 2019 festivities, I challenge us all to remember the important impact the event has on this community and to not take it for granted. Let's get out to show our support. Volunteer, attend the events, welcome the visitors with open arms and take pride in being part of the team representing Canton, Ohio to the world!
Allyson Bussey is president of Visit Canton, Stark County's convention and visitor's bureau.

Our pest control services also include services which are completely compliant with the country's legislation.
Cockroaches prefer warm conditions but they can adapt to a variety of environments. They hide in dark and moist places in the homes. Their presence creates unpleasant the atmosphere at home.

We at Epic Cleaning Services offer an extensive range of pest control services designed to have maximum impact and control over the target pest species and minimal impact on you, your family and the environment. When flies feed on waste, they collect pathogens on their legs and mouths. These germs causing pathogens are then transferred to food, hereby causing infection.

A film called "Conservation's Dirty Secrets" spotlights the alleged role of the African Wildlife Foundation in the brutal evictions of Samburu pastoralists in Kenya over the last three years. British film maker Oliver Steeds interviewed evicted Samburu elders and filmed their burning dwellings as Kenyan police attempted to arrest his Samburu guides. A Kenyan court is currently hearing the Samburu eviction case (see updates posted on this website).
In the documentary, Steeds travels from Kenya to Honduras, Fiji, and the Caribbean, exposing major environmental organizations for their abuse of human rights, their dependence on funding from environmentally destructive corporations, and their "Disneyfication" of conservation. The World Wildlife Fund comes under criticism for "greenwashing" Fiji bottled water and taking large donations from its owner, who also sits on the organization's board. Conservation International is tied to a Honduran tycoon who is accused of murdering peasants who got in the way of his expanding oil palm empire. Steeds questions whether the large conservation organizations are really grappling with the enormous challenge of protecting biological diversity on both land and sea, or are they "dumbing down" the issues with emotional appeals that focus on warm, fuzzy, charismatic species? The answer matters in a world where extinction may claim as many as one-third of existing species before the end of this century.
Steeds gives one example of a conservation program worthy of support: a Maasai community in Kenya that manages its own conservation area and offers eco-tourists an experience of wildlife and Indigenous self-determination together.
"Conservation's Dirty Secrets" was broadcast June 20 on the UK's Channel 4 "Dispatches" program. It can be downloaded online here:

Symbols (from bottom) show copies of the Pictish Comb &
Mirror, Double disk and Z-rod and Flower (or Bronze strip)
|This side depicts copies of the Pictish symbols for Goose and Salmon.
A Bull, Boar and Wolf are being herded by a axe-wielding, bearded (yet bald or tonsured)
tribesman who has been carved in homage to The Rhynie Man.
Ruadri was a 12th Century war-lord and strong-man who declared his estate and made his citadel on this strategic sight. Raising himself up to the heights of his commanding Motte he could look down upon his peasants, land-slaves whom he would have bonded to the fertile earth in the broad flat fertile valley of the Ruthrieson Burn below. (Now the site of the Bridge of Dee shopping and parking experience and some playing fields stretching north to Auchinyell Bridge and west to Pitfodels; bounded by Kaimhill to the south west.
Also, Ruadri's stronghold would have commanded the Foords o' Dee crossing point (the only reliable ford on the Dee east of Park) where he could have demanded tribute from all crossing the river to and from the Causey Mounth - the only road (causeway, causey) over the mounth (hilly upland) which isolates the Dee Valley from lands to the south. (We'll be examining the Causey Mounth road in detail soon, so watch this space.)
Ruadri, along with Gillecoaim (Gillecoaim's town -> Gilcomston) signed a charter for King David in 1125 in the Book of Deer which sowed the seed of Aberdeen as a Burgh in the context of the very much wider 'Davidian Revolution'. This 'revolution' was the 'enlightenment' of its day, though, em... medieval in content and context. Sweeping reforms under the hand of King David saw the 'Normanisation' of Scotland with the establishment of a feudal order over the existing tribal social organisation which had prevailed since pre-history.
Ruadri's titles - he was the so-called last Moramaer (tribal chieftan), and first Earl (feudal big-man), of Mar - underline this changing of the social order from the tribal socialisation of wealth and power to the feudal concentration of power and wealth in the hands of self-styled 'noble' families who were, in fact quite simply the most violent stop-at-nothing in their will-to-power land-thieves and court-prostitutes in any given locality.
Now that we've learned this, we can interpret the erection of this Pictish-homage monument as a thumbing of the nose at puffed-up Ruadri and his feudal, land-grabbing, hierarchical impositions. The message could not be clearer. Where once the King's agent and lickspittle lacky lorded it over the local tribesmen and extracted tax for transit and tribute for trade, now the aboriginal inhabitants of the land are depicted going about their tribal business, untroubled by Kings, lords, tax-collectors or local strong-men.
The stain of the brutish feudal era has been erased by Aberdeen Greenspace and the sculptor of this fine piece of public art in tribute to and in memory of our antecessors. Let's hope that those who'd like to try to dominate the people of Aberdeen today, and extract extra and novel taxes from our households and businesses to enable their own ego-massaging vanity-project land-grabs will similarly be snubbed by history, in time.

For all the things I do wrong in life (they are a whole lot by the way), for all the deadlines I miss, for all the tasks left unticked, how have I managed to survive in this life with all the horrible things I've done (and keep doing)? I must really say that I have become the proverbial cat with nine lives.
Despite my irregularities, I do have a few "sacrosants". Allow me share them with you…
1. Bitterness is worse than anger. Worse because it is suppressed and internal. What kills a man? The things that emanate and reside on the inside. Where does bitterness dwell? Yeah, inside!
2. Bitterness is deadlier than hatred. Hatred is noisy, bitterness is always on stealth. The things that take down a man never announce their intentions, it's always the empty vessels that make the loudest noise. Noise isn't something that can be attributed to effectiveness.
3. One of the ways I survive is by viewing bitterness as a baggage. I can't harbour bitterness not even in its purest form (it doesn't have a purest form though). That way, nothing eats me up from within.
4. It's easy to say stuff like: "do away with bitterness", "don't let that stuff dwell in you" and things like that but the deal is in implementation. So what did I do?
5. I found substitutes. I founds things that drive away bitterness in me. One of such things is food. Let me reiterate that bitterness doesn't just appear on the scene like Thor. It starts with a bad mood, degenerates to sadness and maintains its metamorphosis. So once I sight a bad mood lurking from afar, I immediately look for something to munch. With each munch, the feeling gets eroded.
6. Negative vibes breed bitterness. And people bring about negative vibes. So I let people off the hook. When I see someone doesn't want my progress or feels we are in some sort of competition, I withdraw immediately. I don't have strength. If it would mean reducing my circle to the barest minimum (there is no minimum though, you can be a circle of one), so long as I push all that negativity faraway. Bingo! OMG, you have no idea how toxic people can be, you don't need all that toxicity.
7. In the Bible, the story is told of how a young David chased evil spirits away from Saul just by singing. Don't under estimate the power of music, which is why you must be careful what you listen to. Music has the power to overwhelm, listen to the right ones, and your spirit will be lifted.
8. Sleep. Sometimes, all the theories in the world won't be able to help you, so what do you do? Sleep, when you wake up, you'd be better.
Stay True!

Saw this fun bloggy prompt from Alison's Writing Wishing blog and then saw it on Christine's Love Life Surf. Looks like fun so here we go:
I mustache you some questions, my edition:
Four names that people call me, other than my real name:
- Mommy – or lately when he is in front of other people: Mom. Sigh! He is growing up too fast.
- Moyen – This is how my parents calls me sometimes because they said when I was little I couldn't pronounce Maureen.
- Oyen – This is a short from Moyen and lots of my closest families and friends calls me this.
- Morin – I am used to this because people would mispronounce my name all the time and call me this. Also mostly seen on Starbucks cups like this one
Four jobs I have had (not counting any current jobs):
- Part time radio DJ – this was so much fun!
- Sales Promotion Girl
- Reservation officer in a hotel
- Working retail at Crossgate Mall, Albany, NY as my first ever US job. It was memorable.
Four movies I've watched more than once
- My Best Friend's Wedding
- Crash
- Gone With The Wind
- Rent
Four books I'd recommend
- I Am Malala – Malala Yousafzah
- Black and White | The Way I See It – Richard Williams
- The Top Five Regrets of the Dying – Bronnie Ware
- Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom – Christiane Northrup, M.D.
Four places I have lived
- Sangatta, East Borneo, Indonesia, where we used to see wild orangutans playing in the nearby forest clearly visible from our front porch.
- Latham, New York, where I realized the snow is so much more prettier when you look at it from inside a warm room while drinking hot chocolate.
- Dothan, Alabama, a little town in the middle of nowhere, a place where I became a mom nearly 8 years ago.
- Guangzhou, China, where I learned more about culture shock.
Four places I have been
- Los Angeles
- Atlanta, Georgia
- Fort Pierce, Florida
- Bangkok, Thailand
Four places I'd rather be right now
- Melbourne.
- Back in Tanjung Bira this time to stay longer.
- Somewhere cooler…we are officially in rainy season here in Indonesia but with 100% humidity level, not fun.
- Ora Beach, Ambon – I am half Ambonese but I haven't been there so it's such a great longing to visit and explore Ambon.
Four things I don't eat
- Dog meat
- Any soy products – thank you uterine fibroids!
- Beef
- Fruits – I am limiting my fruit intake to completely nothing lately, again…uterine fibroids feeds off of sugar. Royally sucks because I love fruits and mango season is in full swing.
Four of my favorite foods
- Salmon
- Nuts (almonds, cashews, etc)
- Makassar style noodles – so good so bad for you!
- Durian! Yes, the stinky fruit.
Four TV shows that I watch
- Orange is The New Black
- Ellen Show
- Fashion Bloggers
- Nothing else really, I barely watch TV
Four things I am looking forward to this year
- My boy turning 8 next month. He will be with his Dad on his birthday but I'm really looking forward to celebrate his birthday in school with his classmates.
- Every times spent with my fiancé.
- Christmas with my family.
- Getting back to eating healthy and working out.
Four things I'm always saying
- "Eat with your fork/spoon!"
- "Don't forget to borrow library books."
- "Onward and forward…"
- "Have fun in school!"
What's your answers to these?
