So this is a indie Space x4 game, 4x games seems to be popular for small indie companies, it might be it's easy to makt, but I think it's because it lets a new company be very creative.
This is I think 3rd or 4rth indie X4 space game, and I'm not complaneing I love this gerne,
The biggest success story is Endless Space made by a small french company, it had become quite a success, having now sold over 300 000 copies. The makers of Endless Space listened to the fans, made changes and even took votes. They have released lots of free stuff to the game, and continues to improve it. When I saw the pictures of this game I was kinda not sure, the diffrent races are kinda silly/childish, you have space bears, space wolfs and space plants, but the game just looked to cool not to try it. The game is real time, but you can pause, and the game does pause when you go into certain info pages.
The game is very complex, i tried 4 times with failed games untill I kinda made it on the 5th try, you have to juggle, cash, industry and food, all plantes have diffrent stats, you have fertility, richness. fertility says how much food you can easly make, richness how much industry it can make, you also have a max population.
Cash is made primaraly thought industry and taxas, so a planet with high population and industry can be a cash cow, how ever if you do not go into pluss on the food production the population will starve and dwindle, however you can fix this by making freighters to ransport food.
In the first failed games, I colonized small planets with no food ect, I just colonized all the plants I came over, this led to massive sortages of food and money. So after reading some helpfull hints like only colonizing plantes with 2 or more in fertility,To get a new colony up and running, you need to shuttle colonists with freighters, and normaly food and production. it can take quite some time to get a single colony up and self sustaning. So expanding to fast is a killer. It's better to have 4 really good well done planets then 10 bad ones, or even 2 good ones and 8 bad ones. And once you get a planet running, you only need like +0.5 in food and the rest can go to science and production. You generaly need 1 or 2 planets that produce lots of food, to ship out to new colonies. So thats the colony part, you generaly start with very little stuff, a single fighter and a colony ship, thats it, everything els has to be researched and made. and there is ALOT to research, the game is kinda standard, you make science from planets, so you have to juggle, food, production and science. So more science you make, the faster you resarch stuff. the early research stuff is prety low, like 80 or 150 points to research the first stuff, but like now I'm researching a titan, and thats 3000 science points. There are LOTS of weaopns to play with, you generaly have ballistic weapons, so old school cannos, and railguns. and huge hoonking space guns. Then you have powered missles, rockets, emp missles. You have energy weapons. like puny lasers to phased plasma beams. To ion beams that suck energy out of enemy ships. But guns aren't all you need shields, armor, powerplants, engiens ect.
One if the first things I found was that there is no point in making ships untill you have researched shields, it makes even small ships much harder to kill. There is a complex ship building part of the game, as you resarch new guns you get new ship avalable to make, but you can also make new custom ships, and that is very fun, you place all you need on the ship plans. You have to juggle ALOT when making ships.
Each ship has sevral things you have to think about, power, everything needs power, small ships need a few very small nuklear plants, or one medium powerplant. bigger ships might need oh 16 powerplants. you can ofcourse research better powerplants like antimater reactors ect.
Weapons, shields, engiens all use power. But thats not all you have to think about, energy weapons use the energy from the powerplants, but ballistic weapons and missles also use ordinace, so you need ordinace storage, another of my big first mistakes was making a powerfull fighter with LOTS of small cannons, but I had not made a single ordinance storage and so after just a couple of strafes, it was out of ammo and got murderd. But verything weighs stuff, so for each thing you put on the ship, you need engiens to move it, and the more stuff you got on it, the more powerfull and more engians you need. if not, the ship will just drift and not even be able to turn. You can resarch and add enertial dempners. to help that.
So lots to think about. All ships unless you are using them for planet defence need both regular engien and warp engien. Ships range in size from Fighter/large fighter-frigate-cruiser-heavycruiser/battleship-Titan.
Naturaly the bigger the ships the more power and more/bigger weapons you can get on them.
My frigates have like 4000 shield, and 6000 hull, while my cruisers have between 20 000-30 000 shields, and 20 000 hull, my heavy cruiser got 50 000 shields and 40 000 hull/armor, you can make lots of diffrent types of ships, you can resarch fighter bays, and make carriers. As I said you can run out of physical ammo, even with lots of storage you will run out of ammo, so you can research feel resuply. This give you two things.
Ordinance converter, this converts enegry from the ship to physical ammo. You also get resuply bays, letting ships send shuttles with ammo to other ship therby resuply them with out having to send ships back home to the shipyard. With smaller ships, you generaly have to use all the space you got for powerplants, shields and weapons. but my big heavy cruiser was so big I could actualy get the ordinance converter in it, so it will be able to resuply it self.
So thats the tecnical stuff, we also ofcourse have diplomacy like all 4x games have, it does seem random wether another race likes you or not when you start a new game, I've had in one game a race like me right away, then in aother game the same race hates you, they also seem to either like or not like you from the start, I have not been able to win over another race that has not liked me from the start. The graphics of the races is very cool, lots of characer, and they got their own way of talking to you, some are very childish in the way they talk. But that I think has something to do with how the "translater" works, you can resarch lingustics and mabye the dialog changes then? I have not tried it yet. You can also buy and train speies, that you can send to do espionage, or even steal technology.
So this got very long, sorry for that, here are some pictures
The graphics are very cool clean yet very detailed.
This is my heavy cruiser/battleship, the biggest ship I got right now.
Here is the floor plan of my battle ship, it's a monster. Phaser plasma beem in the front, flanked by 2 missles tubes and 4 railguns, then 2 more railguns on the side. So it's front heavy, does not have any weapons that fire to the side or back. So it will probebly need fighter suport or firgate suport to cover it's back. Other then the weapons it got 19 powerplants, lots of engiens, 5 medium shield generators, a ordinace converter two fighterbays.
8 ordinance storage, the yellow tiles are internal bulkheads, the silver tiles are steel armor.
Here is a heavy figrter, to show a smaller floor plan.
It got 2 powerplants, one small shield generator, 6 missles lauchers, 2 missle battery, so this is sinply a missle fighter, with no other close dogfighting capablity. it also get 4 small ammo storage bays.
This is a tiny part of the galaxy map, I've played this game for 8 hours and still have only met 3 out of 7 other races in the game, so this is a BIG map, you can ofcourse choose the size of the galaxy how meny oponets.
This is my empire with all the planets I have, it shows all you need to know, shows the storage of food and industry, if I'm building a ship of building, how much food I make, how much production and science I make and how much cash I make on each planet.
This is the researched tab, 7 categories, each with sevral lines of resarched.
I recomend the game with all my heart.
PS. this is still in beta, so you can buy it now, and help them imporve the game the last few weeks before it's finished, and it's on 17% sale.

Nevada, Red Rock National Conservation Area, Magic Bus
About noon on April 18, L.C., an experienced local climber (25), was leading Blonde Dwarf (5.10) on the Magic Bus, in the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area. He was 15 to 20 feet above his last protection and very close to the final anchors when a hand hold broke. According to his partners, L. C. fell about 30 feet before being caught by the rope. He was lowered to the base of the route by his partners.
Officers and volunteers of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department's Search and Rescue unit were conducting helicopter training at the top of the Red Rock escarpment at the time. At 1220, they were notified of the incident and a team of one officer and nine volunteers was shuttled to the accident site by Air 5, an HH-1H. Air 5 was able to insert the team by skid down hover about 100 feet from the victim.
L. C. was assessed to have superficial abrasions and contusions from the fall, but was complaining of lumbar back pain and numbness and tingling in his legs. He was unable to move his legs. L. C. was immobilized, packaged in a litter and at 1306 was lowered to the LZ using a low angle system. At 1315, Air 5 again performed a skid down hover, the victim and mission medic were loaded and flown to the CR At 1320, the victim was handed over to Valley Hospital's Flight for Life and flown to University Medical Center's Trauma Center. By 1430, all personnel had been recovered from the rescue and training sites.
When the hold broke, L. C. fell backward, and was horizontal when his harness caught him. Despite a successful belay, and the lack of a hard impact, L. C.'s spine was damaged and he is paralyzed. It is rare for sport climbers to wear helmets and in this instance it was not an issue. While a fall strength chest harness may have caused a more upright catch and affected the outcome, countless similar falls are taken every year without injury.

Great tips, Debbie! I've heard this before but haven't been good about applying the advice. You've inspired me!ReplyDelete
Whoa, what great info'! Thanks, Debbie :-) I'm out of town at the moment, but when I get back (and catch up) I'm going to want to come back and reconnect here...ReplyDelete
This is a great tip. I was told a couple of years ago to do this, but I wasn't told "how" to do it. I'm glad you took the time to explain it. Thanks!ReplyDelete
Thanks for the photo tips! I've been slow to get into using photos, because of the copyright issue, but it's good to know how to make them work to my advantage.ReplyDelete
Huh. I don't often use images on my blog. Perhaps I'll start...ReplyDelete
Wow...thanks for this, Debbie! Such a simple tip will make a big difference. I will try this on my next post. Does the photo need to be at the top, or, anywhere in the post?ReplyDelete
When I started doing this, I wasn't sure if it would make any difference. But then I checked my analytics, and saw so much traffic coming from Google and Bing images.ReplyDelete
Jarm, it doesn't matter where the photo appears, or how many photos you use. Hope you all have success with this!
Savvy tip! I especially like the example of naming a beach ball image "great beach reads" because it's embedded in a post about great beach reads. (As opposed to just naming the pic "beach ball," which is too generic, as you said.) Makes perfect sense!ReplyDelete
Heading over to the Alexa site now...
Smooches to you!
I know, Janette. It's not something I'd have ever figured out on my own, but it definitely has an impact. Hope it works for you!ReplyDelete
Thanks for the reminder, Debbie, to use these techniques. I have in the past, but must do it consistently!ReplyDelete
I love myselfReplyDelete

Jonathan Laporte Sentenced For 2012 Robbery Of Mandeville Bank
JONATHAN LAPORTE, age 27, of Covington, Louisiana, was sentenced today by U. S. District Judge Eldon E. Fallon to 100 months imprisonment for the January 13, 2012, robbery of a Citizens Bank and Trust in Mandeville, Louisiana, announced U. S Attorney Dana Boente.
The charge resulted from an investigation by the Mandeville Police Department and Federal Bureau of Investigation following the January 13, 2012, robbery of the Citizens Bank and Trust branch located in Mandeville. During the robbery, LAPORTE brandished a weapon that appeared to be a firearm but was later determined to be a BB gun. While inside the bank, through force and intimidation, LAPORTE obtained approximately $12,777 in bank funds. Upon exiting the bank, LAPORTE briefly eluded responding police units and caused a high speed chase that resulted in property damage to multiple vehicles. LAPORTE was apprehended after crashing his vehicle and suffering minor injuries. The money stolen from the bank was recovered from LAPORTE's vehicle along with the BB gun.
In addition to the term of imprisonment, Judge Fallon sentenced LAPORTE to 5 years of supervised release following the term of imprisonment. During the 5 year term, the defendant will be under federal supervision and risks an additional term of imprisonment should he violate any terms of his supervised release. Judge Fallon also ordered LAPORTE to pay restitution to the victims who suffered property damage as a result of LAPORTE's reckless flight from responding police officers.
This prosecution was the result of an investigation conducted by special agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and officers and detectives of the Mandeville Police Department.
The prosecution has been handled by Supervisory Assistant U. S. Attorney William J. Quinlan, Jr., Supervisor of the U. S. Attorney's Violent Crime Unit.

I'm writing this from my classroom 25 minutes (ETA: 50) after class ended. There are ten students still here, asking me for help. I'm a little overwhelmed, frankly. Seven of them are freshmen who have projects due tomorrow (they are writing speeches based on primary source documents from the Crusades) while two are sophomores writing essays who need help outlining, and one is a senior who is working on a different essay.
Right now I am trying to teach one student how to write a topic sentence. I am explaining to someone else what "evaluate" means. Someone else is learning how to cite documents properly. The 9th graders are arguing over what a thesis is and how to write one. Another group of 9th graders have just realized that if they use a quote, they must explain it. (We have discussed this approximately once a day since the beginning of the year.) The girl sitting next to me is struggling to come up with a reason Mao was using his power in a negative way. The problem is English is so far from her native language that I have to spell every word for her — she spelled "each other" as "eacher" and "positive" as "postipe." The young gentleman on my other side speaks French (he's African) and I have been attempting to teach him what "natural resources" are in my shitty high school French. There is a young lady here I teach who has her very first credit card bill, which she brought in to show me so I can teach her how to to write a check and arrange the envelope.
I'm pretty freaking overwhelmed, actually. It's hard to help kids one-on-one, and it's hard to run a class of 34, but it's really hard to help nine different people with twelve different things.
Boy, I can't WAIT for projects/portfolios/finals/Regents to be over so I can go back to teaching.

(oh for those interested, Izaak has arrived safely much to the excitement of the girls especially Zara!)
Last Friday night we visited a dairy farm! The local dairy farms and Holstein Club organised a 'Dinner at the Dairy' night. One of the lovely ladies from the church let me know about it. You had to register but the event was free. We got a tour through the farm and dinner afterwards. There was also face painting, balloons, cheese samples, bouncy castle and oh some sheep! I really enjoyed getting to see how dairy farming works here. I was impressed on how efficient the whole operation was, from feeding (very scientific, ie the right mixture produces more milk!), to calving, breeding and milking. This particular farm had a milking parlor. The cows seemed very 'happy' and looked great to an untrained eye. Here is the night in photo form! (Sorry the photos are in random order, don't know why that is, don't want to spend time changing it around)
|Grass is greener on the other side! haha

|WOW this is a surprise a red dog for Kate :)

|a hayride took us from our cars to the farm
|Cool a tractor!
|Look what I spotted? sheep!
|Each cow wears a transponder and this
tracks the milk produced, their cycle etc. very impressive
|Ok, what's in here? *
|Grace helping with milking
|couldn't resist

|All the calves get reared in these little 'sheds'

Book Review of Saving A Legend (Kavanagh Legends series)
Title: Saving A Legend
Series: Kavanagh Legend Series
Author: Sarah Robinson
Date Published: June 14th 2016
Date Read: June 8th 2016
The Blurb:
His family's gym has produced a roster of mixed martial arts legends, but so far Kieran Kavanagh hasn't followed in their footsteps. After a brawl lands him in jail, Kieran is assigned to work at a center for at-risk youth. Though given a second chance, Kieran's simply going through the motions—until he meets one very special kid, Shea Doherty, and falls hard for her very beautiful, very grown-up big sister, Fiona. The trouble is, Kieran's best opening moves are getting him nowhere fast.
Fiona Doherty has too many responsibilities to fool around, especially now that she has custody of Shea. Sure, she'd love to find a devoted partner. But she won't jeopardize her sister's happiness—or risk revealing her tortured past—on a love-'em-and-leave-'em type of guy like Kieran . . . so it's up to him to prove her wrong. As Fiona spends more time with Kieran, she starts to see a softer side of the reckless warrior. Now she must admit that when it comes to the possibility of real love, well . . . there's a fighting chance.
My Review
4 Cute Shea Stars
I just want to take a moment to appreciate these yummy covers. Whoever picked the covers for this series deserves a raise and the models a standing ovation! Wow!
Saving a Legend the second book in the Kavanagh Legend series was an awesome read. Like the first book I really loved me some Kavanagh men. And like his older brother Rory from book 1, Kieran stole my heart. He made mistakes in his past but he was an amazing man. And when he met Fiona there was no other woman for him. I loved that dedication, he knew she was his and he was going to win her period! Fiona was okay for me. At times I liked her and at times she got on my nerves. I loved the ways she was with Shea but I didn't like that she acted like a coward and kept finding reasons to push Kieran away. Anyone who's ever read my reviews knows how I feel about cowards in book. luckily there were enough good things about Fiona to balance that out for me so I could still enjoy the book.
Shea was a soft spot for me. My niece has Autism and so books that touch lovingly and truthfully on Autism hold a special place in my heart. Shea's character portrayed an autistic child well and shows that the author cared enough to do the research. Shea was a sweet little girl that as I read reminded me of my niece and therefor made me really connect with her. I really loved Shea! I also really loved getting to know all the Kavanaghs more. They are all so lovable and unique that I am attached to all of them and really want to see them all get their own HEA. Especially Quinn and Jimmy. They both really got my attention Quinn the tattooed pierced sexy black haired brother and Jimmy the Red headed straight laced, rule following cop brother yum! I can't wait for the next book to come out Kane's book.

Be warned: i lost about 3 hours following links, reading about old ship wrecks and looking through galleries and galleries of photos. : )
That one on the beach was amazing. Too bad it got sunken too much :(
Amazing pics.
One of my fondest memories as a kid was canoing around inside the hull of an old 5 masted schooner scuttled on the coast of Maine. It's huge and haunting and more than a little scary.
Awesome images! It is incredible how absolutely beautiful these wrecked ships are.

friday finish
Finishing the last stitches on the binding as the sun sets and the wind grows more chilly...
My quilt was started last summer, pairing my 30's stash with my Go!Baby fabric cutter. It's 48" by 64" quilted in Hurricane all over pattern on Quilters Dream select.
The colors are a bit brighter than these evening pictures shows. Quite happy with the finish, and somehow craving some licorice...
Wish you all a great weekend!

It was excellent, but flawed. I was glad I saw it in a theatre, in IMAX.
It was one of a small class of excellent science fiction movies where the science is important to the story and mostly actual science.
It repeatedly pays tribute to 2001: A Space Odyssey, one of the few films in the same category. But in 2001 the first and last parts of the movie are about alien science so advanced that they are, for us, indistinguishable from magic. And for the last, so incomprehensible that you can't understand what's going on without buying the book.
The middle third of 2001 does not violate science, except when it does. The moonbus follows a very unlikely trajectory because that is easier to film. If such a craft existed, it would have been launched in a ballistic trajectory from launch to destination, with no effort to maintain constant altitude.
According to the book, it was a surface vehicle, with very limited ability to launch over obstacles. Also not easy to film.
Discovery had no radiators because the director thought the audience would mistake them for wings.
Doing good cinema and good science at the same time is hard. I count Contact in this select group, but still its wormhole opening technology was close to magic.
My biggest complaint about Interstellar is that at times it was hard to understand important words spoken.
There are some plot holes, but fewer than some people think. The ice that astronauts walk on on the second planet is probably unreasonably strong. Keeping the secret space program secret would be difficult if all the launches came from the base used for the final launch, but perhaps there were other, more remote launch sites.
Some have complained that if the Ranger spacecraft can reach orbit with a single reusable stage, why do they need a big two stage chemical rocket to get it into Earth orbit?
It seems that according to the film's site, the landers use both chemical and plasma rockets, and NASA has fusion reactors as a power source. If the reactor uses He-3, the limited supply would explain the two stage chemical rocket to reach Earth orbit.

Co-Production and Sustainable Development in Wales
- Client:
- Welsh Government
- Start date:
- January 2013
- Completed:
- April 2013
Brook Lyndhurst undertook research for the Welsh Government to investigate the potential role of co-production models in sustainable development.
The objectives of the research were to assess the applicability of co-production models to the work of the Welsh Government and its delivery partners, and produce a set of principles for developing environmental co-production projects in Wales.
The research was based on a rapid evidence review of co-production models and case-studies to highlight key barriers and success factors in the delivery of co-production on the ground. A workshop and interviews were also undertaken with key individuals within the Welsh Government and its delivery partners.

How to buy an SSL certificate?
What is a SSL certificate?
A SSL certificate is like a digital ID of an entity and it proves what we claim who we are. However, on Internet, only a SSL certificate signed by CA (certificate authority) is trustworthy.
https port
What is the number of https port? It's usually 443 if you are running a web service.
What can I do with a SSL certificate other than an ID?
This certificate can be imported into a mail server, a web server on a https port or other type of servers. Then, PKI and SSL certificates work together to establish encrypted connections between servers and clients.
Where can I get SSL certificates?
There are many SSL certificate dealers selling different brands of certificates and prices vary accordingly. I recommend you to buy Comodo Certificates from KSoftware for $20 a piece. It is a basic SSL certificate to fit in web server or mail server puroses.
Here are a few steps to guide your through the buying process: (this example demonstrates buying a certificate for a mail server)
1. Browse to KSoftware purchase webpage http://www.ksoftware.net/ssl_certs.html
2. Click on Buy icon next to Comodo PositiveSSL Certificates

4. At 2. Select the server software used to generate the CSR, click on the pull-down list to the right and select Apache-ModSSL
5. Leave 3. Select the hash algorithm… alone and go on to 4. Select the validity period for your Certificate. Do as asked.
6. For Item 5, 6, and 7, it is up to you if you like to keep it or not. Click on Next>.
7. On next page, select an email account, such as email@example.com to which a domain control validation email will be delivered. Upon receiving this mail, a validation process will be performed by entering a validation code on Comodo's website. Click Continue > to proceed.
8. Complete Your Corporate Details, Your Contact Details and Choose Your Admin Contact's Management Details. The last one allows you to log in Comodo for future support. Click Continue > to proceed.
9. Click on I ACCEPT on Agreements page. Go on to finish billing information page and click on Make Payment to wrap up purchase.

there is a great shot on Halifax Shipping News.
The former Eastern Canada Towing [ECTUG] and before that Foundation Maritime dock has been very quiet since Svitzer assigned its tugs to Point Tupper, with only the occasional visitor, so it was good to see a tug there again.
Beverly M 1 was built by Imamura Zosen , Kure, Japan in 1993 for Hong Kong Salvage + Towage as Shek O, and that name is still visible on the wheelhouse. The McKeil crew has modified the letters HK to McK [not visible in this photo] and kept "Salvage + Towage" . Even though the company's official name is Evans McKeil Workboats, it is commonly known as McKeil Marine.From its main base in Hamilton, ON it also has operations in Quebec, Newfoundland and has now established a base in Sydney, NS.
Following completion in 1992 the 4,000 bhp tug worked in Hong Kong, but in 2004 was transferred to sister company Swire Pacific Offshore and was renamed Hunter for two years, before reverting to Shek O. In 2008 it was became Swire Pacific's Pacific Typhoon. A very capable tug, it is fitted for ocean towing and has a massive towing winch. It is a ASD tug, with Niigata stern drives, and is also equipped to work over the bow for ship berthing.
When McKeil acquired the tug in 2013 it was for work in Newfoundland, but it has been in and out of Halifax several times.

Kristen Bell – Golden Sparkle In Jenni Kayne
10 December, 2011
Prior to her 2011 UNICEF Ball attendance, Kristen Bell was one shiny guest at the BVLGARI Celebrates the Holidays event that took place in L.A. on December 7. On this occasion the talented actress wore a Jenni Kayne Fall 2011 mustard and gold look.
The ensemble Kristen chose to wear combined a mustard cardigan set with a sequined gold mini skirt, for an overall monochromatic look that matched Kristen to perfection.
She accessorized the look with a pair of dark red pumps and the over-sized black Bulgari Leather Pochette.
Kristen finished the look with flawless make up and a loose bun.
The perfect Holiday Season outfit, don't you think ?

Having a decent job doesn't mean you have to feel trapped in a cubicle from 9 to 5. There are plenty of ways to pursue a career that lets you regularly spend time working outside. Whether you're starting your career, want to make a change, or are just thinking about a summer job, here's a look at outdoor-oriented career paths to explore.
Environmental scientist
If you have a passion for the environment and protecting the natural world, then a career in environmental sciences offers a great opportunity to spend time in the great outdoors while making areal difference.
The bulk of the work involves collecting data and observing the conditions of various natural habitats in order to make recommendations for persevering and protecting them from things like pollution or erosion. Most qualified candidates have at least an undergraduate degree and often a master's degree in the environmental sciences.
If you want a job that offers the satisfaction that comes from building something and a chance to enjoy some fresh air, then a career in construction might be a good fit. Whether building homes or commercial buildings, it's a chance to get outside and work in a team.
Landscape Architect
Whereas an environmental scientist works to preserve natural beauty that already exists, a landscape architect designs new green spaces to transform nature into its own art form.
While a traditional architect uses their know-how to design buildings, this type of outdoor architecture is all about figuring out how to construct the perfect park or garden based on environmental factors like soil conditions, the look and feel of any buildings on the site and other design principles.
Landscape and Grounds Work
Not qualified to be a landscape architect? No problem! From pruning trees to planting flowers and sodding grass, landscaping is all about the practical work that goes into making outdoor spaces more beautiful. Throw in the added benefits of some sun-based vitamin D and a decent workout, and you've got the makings of a great outdoor job. Sports fans should also look into grounds keeping, a related job that's all about making sure athletic fields are in playing shape for game day.
Youth Outdoor Recreation Leader or Environmental Educator
For those looking for a summer job or seasonal work as a way to make money while spending time outside, an outdoor-oriented recreation program could be exactly what you're looking for. Some common opportunities in this space include working at a summer camp (both sleep away and day camps), coaching youth sports, and leading outdoor education programs or tours at a park or nature preserve. If you want to work in the outdoors and make a positive difference in the lives of kids, this kind of work is exactly what you're looking for.
Another career that requires an educational background in the earth sciences, geologists study how the composition of the earth has evolved over thousands and even millions of years, with a specific focus on rocks and minerals. Being a geologist involves a great deal of outdoor field work, providing consultation for the government or private companies who work with natural resources.
While most people think archaeology is all about hunting for ancient artifacts, in reality it's a more practical job than you'd think. Whenever federal money is used as part of a construction project,archaeologists investigate the site, digging below the surface to see if the site has any historical significance before proceeding. If you're interested in pursuing a degree in anthropology, archaeology is an excellent career path that combines the thrill of discovery, a love of history and ample time spent working outside on dig sites.
While getting a tan by the pool or on the beach is one of the perks of being a lifeguard, it's far from the only one. This summer job also provides valuable experience in CPR and first aid. Plus, it's a valuable starting point for those looking to explore a career in emergency medical services or a related field.
Outdoor Conservationist
You don't need to study the sciences to get outside and help save the planet. You can do real, rewarding work to make the great outdoors more enjoyable for everyone without having to pursue an advanced degree or commit to a long-term career. Many states have conservation programs that offer young volunteers (usually late teens to late 20's) the chance to spend a specific period of time to looking after and improving public lands.
Common tasks can include clearing trails, providing disaster relief after severe weather, and restoring wildlife habitats. If you're looking for a way to work outside as a short-term alternative to a traditional desk job, this might be the best option for you.
These are just a handful of thought starters if you're considering a career that allows you to spend your days outdoors. If you aren't ready to take the plunge and leave your more traditional career for outside work, traveling is a great way to see and experience the beauty of the natural world. Check out a few ways to start planning your adventure.

There are times when everyone seems distant. It is a lousy feeling and one I hate to admit but there are times when I feel cold and empty, the skies are grey. My heart aches, I yearn for comfort and contact.
I go outside. A run turns into a walk that ends up being numerous stops to watch birds, gaze at a pond, absorb the trail and the lush surroundings. Distraction via engaging in something constant, nature.
The problem lately has been a mind numbing tooth ache that seems to being sucking the life out of me. As they have opened up the tooth for the second time I was told that the tooth is eventually going to be extracted and the pain may be unavoidable. My mind slows and the pain is taking hold. I want to be held but not by pain.

Robotic Surgery
The Princess Grace Hospital was the first independent hospital in the UK to install a daVinci Surgical Robot enabling the London Urology Associates to offer robotic prostatectomy as a treatment option for prostate cancer. It is a robot-assisted, minimally invasive surgery that is quickly becoming the preferred treatment for removal of the prostate following early diagnosis of prostate cancer.
Aside from robotic prostatectomy, 'radical' prostatectomy is a well-established treatment for locally advanced occurrences of the disease. In this procedure, the prostate is surgically removed via a 4-6" incision in the lower abdomen. It's an approach that allows the prostate to be visualised and removed in its entirety; it is important that all cancerous tissue is removed during the procedure to minimise the risk of recurrence.
One of the drawbacks of radical prostatectomy is the size of incision: it obviously takes time to heal, can cause post-operative pain and limits mobility in the days after the procedure. Laparoscopic (keyhole) prostatectomy has also been used in some centres but is limited by its technical difficulty.
The daVinci surgical robot was first introduced to the medical community in 1999 and now there are more than 300 robots in use worldwide. The technology is currently being used for cardiac, urological, gynaecological and general surgery.
Chris Ogden has been medically trained in the UK and the USA, as well as undertaking specific daVinci training in Paris. The first daVinci prostatectomy to be carried out in the private sector was performed by Chris Ogden and his colleagues at the Princess Grace Hospital in August 2005 (see Times article).
The robot itself consists of two units. The Patient-side cart has four robotic arms for carrying out the surgery; one arm holds a camera and the other three hold instruments. The surgeon sits at a console with a stereoscopic 3D view of the operating field. Unlike a conventional (2D) screen, this allows the perception of depth which makes accurate surgery much easier. Beneath the display are the master controls which translate the surgeon's hand movements in real-time to the movement of the robotic arms and instruments. The system is designed to remove tremor and allow very precise movements.
It is even possible for the surgeon to operate remotely from the patient; in 2001 a patient in France had his gallbladder removed by a team of surgeons in New York using a high-speed data connection. You will be pleased to know that our surgeons prefer to operate not only from the same continent as the patient, but the same room!
One of the benefits of the daVinci robot is that the surgery can be carried out through a number of much smaller incisions rather than the large incision required for radical prostatectomy; this means that healing time is quicker, there is less scarring, post-operative pain is reduced, a shorter hospital stay is required, and patients are likely to return to normal activities sooner. Additionally, the view of the surgical field afforded by the 3D stereoscopic display means that the surgeon has a much clearer view of the nerves and blood vessels surrounding the prostate which helps to minimise blood loss and reduces the risk of damaging the nerves responsible for continence and erectile function.
Prostate cancer varies a great deal in its aggressiveness and some treatments are more appropriate than others for individual patients. Though any diagnosis of cancer can be traumatic, the good news is that if prostate surgery has been recommended, the cancer was probably caught early. And, with daVinci Prostatectomy, the likelihood of a complete recovery from prostate cancer without long-term side effects is, for most patients, better than it has ever been.
For further advice you should discuss the treatment options with your urologist. If you would like to arrange an appointment with one of our specialists, please call 020 7224 5089 or e-mail email@example.com.

Laparoscopic Prostatectomyis performed through a number of small incisions using special instruments and a laparoscope to visualise the prostate and surrounding tissue. Laparoscopic surgery offers the benefits of reduced bleeding, less soft tissue damage and shorter recovery period as compared to open prostatectomy. However, laparoscopic surgery should only be done by a specially trained and skilled surgeon to get the best results.
Open Prostatectomy is the traditional form of removing the prostate through one large incision.

The side effects for all three forms of treatment are similar; however the percentage of risk is much lower in robotic prostatectomy as compared to open prostatectomy.
- Some risk of long term urinary incontinence
- Some difficulty in achieving erections, but this is usually treatable
- Most men will be infertile due to the absence of ejaculatory fluid
- Risk of urethral stricture (scar tissue)
- Small risk of infection following surgery
- Small risk of bleeding requiring a blood transfusion

What now seems like ages ago, I was contacted by my pal, Ivan McCann about submitting something to a "zine" he was planning to do. I said, sure. Let me see what I have or can up w/. Having fallen under the spell of Kristamas Klousch's beguiling art, I'd written a text based on several of her works. I sent it to him and he was rabid for it.
He already had a few tales and some artists committed to contributing. I asked if he needed more tales. He said please. So I asked some friends and writers I highly regard. Almost all of them said yes. He liked my suggestions and their submissions and things developed.
As subs and artwork for Ivan's zine came in he began to think of doing not a zine but a book and somehow I became co-editor.
And now it's at the printer.
Here's the ToC.

"Joy seems to me a step beyond happiness. Happiness is a sort of atmosphere you can live in sometimes when you're lucky. Joy is a light that fills you with hope and faith and love." –Adela Rogers St. John
I have been thinking about maximizing joy; about immersing in the joyful moments that come so fleetingly and about embracing the warmth that accompanies it. Nowadays, with the preceding unpacking of issues like depression and suicide or the even earlier exploration of my subconscious privilege (given by one's mere place of birth or by race), I find myself seeing the world around me through a new lens of gratitude. With more curiosity than ever before, I am questioning the norms we readily perpetuate that necessarily compromise the joyful moments that are actually so abundant, so accessible and so incredibly, incredibly beautiful.
In the words of Dr. Brene Brown, we are living in a culture of scarcity – one where everyone is hyperaware of lack and where we are always feeling "never enough". Never good-looking enough, never rich nor stable enough, never certain enough; never smart enough. Today, we spend more but enjoy less, soaking in our thoughts of "if only" – if only you could have that or if only I could be her/him. I learn this from an incredible read, Daring Greatly by Brene Brown, that until we are able to embrace our imperfections and acknowledge our vulnerability, until we can say "this is who I am and I am worthy of love and belonging", we will constantly be awaiting the impossible ideal of perfection before we fully engage ourselves in experiences of joy and love. Until then, we deprive ourselves of feeling the depths of these emotions to their truest and most powerful intensity.
"Scarcity is the great lie," says Lynne Twist, the author of The Soul of Money. When will we finally put down the rigid yardsticks of success and worthiness in our culture that prizes what we have over who we are? Perhaps, only then, will we believe truly that we are deserving of joy and that being vulnerable in embracing happy moments is okay.
We have a deep desire to connect with others – paradoxically, it is this very same desire to connect that drives us to evaluate (and re-evaluate) our worthiness for fear of disconnection. We wonder if we are 'enough' for the people around us, we hold back. We fit in by changing ourselves rather than truly belonging. In engaging with others with anything besides our truest selves, we experience further isolation and disconnection. Unfortunately, we use these feelings of isolation and disconnection, then, to reaffirm our conviction about scarcity – we say yes, we are lacking within and I am not enough. We despair about the worthiness that we cannot find. Slowly, we start to believe that maybe (just maybe) it does not exist.
I am hustling with worthiness; I am learning how to engage with others with my authentic self regardless of the tempting idea to "improve myself first, until I am enough" or the seductive mechanism of affirmation to lean into external judgment. I want my own "yes" to outweigh the external approval, the "you are enough" on the inside to overpower the measuring apparatus of worthiness that society creates for us – the you must be this by the time you're 20 or the you should be like this because you're a lady. I'll pass; I want to carry a sense of authenticity and belonging within me, rather than search for it in external places.
We do not have to be extraordinary to be worthy, enough is enough. To engage with the world and the incredible rides it has to offer, we must begin in a place of authenticity. It may be scary, risky and even dangerous; but we shall also feel very, very alive. And isn't that all we really want? To live and love with our whole hearts?
Dear Stranger, our culture of scarcity, of blaming and shaming, and the myth that vulnerability is weakness is distracting us from experiencing love and compassion towards the imperfect beings that we are. You are okay, enough and worthy of love and belonging; you are all that not in spite of imperfections but because of them. After all, there's a crack in everything, that's how light gets in. I hope you, too, will hustle for worthiness.

Eero Saarinen vowed to eliminate the "slum of legs" found under chairs and tables with four legs and he did it perfectly. I think that KNOLL has the most valuable collection of timeless design.

TRADERS and drivers will soon be celebrating an early end to roadworks chaos in Holmfirth.
Businesses in Victoria Street have suffered since gas distribution firm Transco started a £40,000 scheme to replace piping on February 23.
However, temporary traffic lights have now been removed and Transco says the work should end at Easter - three weeks earlier than planned.
The early finish comes despite encountering problems on the site, including negotiating a tunnel workers found running across Victoria Street, inches under the road surface.
Royston Rogers, former president of the Holme Valley Business Association, has been liaising with Transco on behalf of Holmfirth. He said the firm had done its best to avoid disruption.
"They wanted to dig roads up last summer, but we asked if they would wait until February," he said. "They have kept us informed, so people know what's going on. We have done it with co-operation not confrontation."
Transco has also given £250 to the Holmfirth Christmas lights fund.
Polly Rourke, communications adviser for Transco, said: "We wanted to thank local people, particularly traders, for their patience during the work."
Mr Rogers hopes visitors will return to Holmfirth now.
"It has been a bit of a nightmare but it had to be done," he said. "People have stayed away but now they can come back with a vengeance."
Mr Rogers hopes the same spirit of co-operation will help with Yorkshire Water's sewerage improvement work, at Huddersfield Road and New Mill Road in Honley and in Brockholes.
Work to build a back-up storage tank at Heys Road in Thongsbridge is also under way. The aim is to prevent flooding which washes effluent into local watercourses.
Mr Rogers said Transco and Yorkshire Water had been co-operative, but criticised Kirklees Council. Resurfacing work is being done by the council on Penistone Road and New Mill Road. It is due to end on April 30.
"They don't have to pay compensation to businesses like Transco do, so there is no communication," he said. "They couldn't go any slower. They close roads early, they send traffic round massive diversions to get to Holmfirth - then you see the roads closed and no-one there working."
A spokeswoman for the council said the work involved widening the A635 and could only be done safely if the road was shut. All closures were at weekends and the final closure would be from April 2 to 4. She said roads were reopened as soon as work ended.
"Unfortunately the only suitable alternative diversion route for this work is lengthy. We are well aware of the disruption caused. We are working as quickly as possible to complete the scheme. We also write and talk regularly to the residents."

When running fMRI experiments it's not uncommon for the scanner to prohibit what you'd like to do because of a gradient stimulation limit. You may even hit the limit "out of the blue," e.g. when attempting an oblique slice prescription for a scan protocol that has run just fine for you in the past. I'd covered the anisotropy of the gradient stimulation limit as a footnote in an old post on coronal and sagittal fMRI, but it's an issue that causes untold stress and confusion when it happens so I decided to make a dedicated post.
Some of the following is take from Siemens manuals but the principles apply for all scanners. There may be vendor-specific differences in the way the safety checking is computed, however. Check your scanner manuals for details on the particular implementation of stimulus monitoring on your scanner.
According to Siemens, then:
The scanner monitors the physiological effects of the gradients and prohibits initiating scans that exceed some predefined thresholds. On a Siemens scanner the limits are established according to two models, used simultaneously:
The scanner computes the expected stimulation that will arise from the gradient waveforms in the sequence you are attempting to run. If one or both models suggests that a limit will be exceeded, you get an error message. I'll note here that the scanner also monitors in real time the actual gradients being played out in case some sort of fault occurs with the gradient control.
Flirting with failure
If you try to initiate a scan that is predicted to exceed the SAFE model limits then you will get a warning:
Clicking OK starts the scan by informing the safety monitor to change from "normal mode" to a "first level" mode. The scan is still below the legal threshold for dB/dt. From your perspective there's really no difference from a scan that initiates without the warning, but it's prudent to be aware that a subject who hasn't complained of sensations thus far might be about to report feeling something. (See Note 1.) For this reason, you should have ensured during setup that the subject doesn't have his feet crossed or his hands together because either of these body positions creates big "pickup" loops for the switching magnetic fields.
An attempt to exceed the legal limits for dB/dt, established in the "first level" mode, causes a hard failure, indicated by this unequivocal message:
You can cancel the scan, or you can let the scanner compute parameters that will get the stimulation limit back below the dB/dt threshold (Calculate option), or you can reopen the protocol and try to figure out which parameter(s) to change in order to get the scan to run. This is where things get interesting.
As a general rule - and especially when running EPI for fMRI - any change to your acquisition parameters is ill-advised without full consideration of the consequences! Standard procedure in a scientific experiment is to use fixed acquisition parameters. So, before proceeding we need to consider in more detail why the failure occurred. Is it a consistent failure, or is it the first time this particular scan has failed to run in spite of having been used successfully on umpteen prior subjects? If the failure is consistent regardless of subject (or phantom) then you clearly need to change something to render the scan usable under any circumstances. Such a situation is common when you're using a new sequence for the first time and you don't yet know how fast you can go. You will probably need to talk to your support physicist to get more insight.
With EPI in particular, you may be prohibited from scanning for some slice prescriptions while others are perfectly acceptable; a classic "intermittent" failure. Why should this be?
Stimulus limits are ansiotropic
The amount of current induced in the subject's (electrically conductive) body is proportional to the cross-sectional area in the plane perpendicular to the switched gradient direction. Given that the largest, fastest-switched gradient for EPI is the read (or frequency encode) gradient then it's this gradient that is of prime concern for the stimulus limit. And, once the slice selection direction is established - by virtue of your slice prescription - it leaves just two options for the read gradient direction, the other axis becoming the phase-encoded axis by default.
In understanding the safety limits for switched gradients it is useful to consider the body's three planes as if they act like pick-up coils, that is, loops of wire that can sense changing magnetic fields by having an electric current induced in them. Consider this cartoon showing the effective current loops formed in a subject's body when a gradient is switched along one of three cardinal axes (in each case the switched gradient axis is perpendicular to the plane of your screen, and to the black loops in the figures):
So let's consider our options for a coronal EPI slice prescription. For coronal slices the slice selection axis is along the subject's A-P direction (which is the Y axis of the magnet for you physicist types). We can use either H-F or L-R for the read gradient direction in the image plane. Now, according to the above cartoon, the body's cross-sectional area in the plane perpendicular to the H-F axis, i.e. the subject's axial plane, is smaller than the cross-sectional area in the plane perpendicular to the L-R axis, i.e. the subject's sagittal plane. (I'm comparing H-F switching to L-R switching in the cartoon, and H-F switching invokes a smaller effective current loop.) Thus, for a fixed read gradient amplitude and switching speed, the induced currents in the subject will be lower if we choose H-F for the read gradient direction instead of L-R. (This assumes, as is virtually always the case for conventional fMRI, that the read gradient is larger than the phase encoding gradient.) We could use L-R for the read axis (along with H-F for phase encoding), but we are going to run into a stimulus limit at a lower read gradient strength (or speed) than if we use H-F for the read gradient.
That's coronal slices dealt with. A quick glance at the cartoon reveals the preferred read gradient axes for the other two cardinal slice prescriptions. For axial slices, the preferred read gradient direction is L-R, making the phase encode axis A-P. For sagittal slices the preferred read gradient direction is H-F, making the phase encode axis A-P as well.
And now for the intermittent behavior. As you tilt an axial slice prescription towards coronal, at some point the scanner transitions from considering your slices as axial obliques to being coronal obliques instead, and it changes the gradient priority according to the previous assignment. Axial slices use L-R for the read gradient by preference, whereas coronal slices use H-F. It is this transition that can trigger the stimulus limit for no "apparent" reason. You may be able to change the slice tilt back towards axial and get back under the limit so that the scan will start.
Body position again
You can now see why making big loops with your arms or legs is ill-advised inside an MRI. Even so, some people have different dimensions than others and some people are simply more sensitive to peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) than others. On a Siemens scanner, at least, the actual subject geometry isn't considered when computing the stimulus limits. Nor is the actual subject's position. It is therefore entirely possible for a subject to experience PNS even when the scanner doesn't issue any sort of warning. And even if the subject isn't bothered by it, the fact that he's experiencing PNS is likely to be a distraction for whatever fMRI experiment you're running.
In this simple overview I have conveniently neglected the PNS potential of the slice select and phase encode gradients, as well as other gradients that may be active during a scan. For instance, you could be running a thin slice experiment which uses very large, fast-switched slice select gradients. These might be felt by a subject even when the read gradient (for EPI) isn't causing an issue. Finally, give a thought to non-fMRI scans that might trigger a problem for the subject, perhaps requiring early termination of a session before you've obtained all the data you need.
Key points to take away
- Don't allow subjects to link their arms or feet and make large loops.
- If a subject reports feeling PNS in his arms, shoulders or legs, see if you can reduce the sensation by moving the pertinent body part farther away from the magnet bore. Padding to keep a subject's arms off the bore may help here, for example.
- Be aware of your slice prescription and ensure in pilot testing that tilting "too far" won't trigger a stimulus limit issue due to changed default gradient ordering.
- On a Siemens scanner the stimulus monitor doesn't track the actual subject size or body position, it relies on predefined models.
1. For fMRI studies, I don't recommend actually informing the subject that he might feel peripheral nerve stimulation during the upcoming scan. There is nothing quite like priming an fMRI subject for behavior you probably don't want! Instead, always ask the subject to squeeze the ball if she feels anything she doesn't like. You should already have briefed your subject on the common sensations - loud noise and vibrations - so you want to know if something changes and/or becomes uncomfortable. The better you have briefed your subject beforehand - a mock scanner with sounds is really useful here - then the easier you will get only correct positive feedback for PNS.

Not even Sergio Armet, founder, in 2010, of the Kiddo Motors in Barcelona (Spain), imagined the success that they would have had, among the enthusiasts, with their customizations.What we are presenting today is one of their last accomplishments, a Café Racer with clean and minimalist lines, so desired by its owner, which required a balance oriented more towards reliability than to outright performance.Totally dismantled of all its parts, the big boxer engine has undergone a complete overhaul, while the frame has been redesigned and completely rebuilt. "We wanted a straight line from the engine to the subframe" says Sergio "and wanted to eliminate the BMW's characteristic engine incline." The new frame has resulted in a change in the drive shaft to realign its geometry. A beautiful baguette leather seat with a racer tail and a short aluminum front fender, along with the bare metal tank finished with a dash of turquoise, complete the bodywork.The electrical system has been rewired, as they installed a new 14V alternator, a 14V voltage regulator, new power coils, a Motogadget m-Unit and new lithium-ion battery, placed in a custom-made casing behind the gearbox. To complete the look of this minimalist Café Racer a pair of Tommaselli clip-on handlebars, Taron footpegs and a small Motoscope speedo. Also many small details like the Monza tank cap, the short Norton exhaust terminals painted in black as well as the snowflake wheels which now mount Avon Roadrider tires.What to say about it, a Café Racer simply ...

Search engines offer priority to locales that constantly redesign content. A website is an awesome approach to keep your webpage new. The redesigned substance is incredible for web indexes' robots, and it's a regular approach to hold clients returning to your website.
Blogging has become an active medium for all business techies ad it is being picked up by many developers and designers for achieving desired ends in a particular business.
If you haven't speculated at this point, or heard it in the recent past, substance controls the day in SEO. We've discovered that the best SEO systems begin with substance. Great substance helps clients and gets imparted, which is precisely what the search engine is searching for. At the point when done accurately, inward interfacing helps web indexes comprehend what's on your site. When you blog, each post is filed in web indexes as a solitary page.
One of the primary components web search tools consider in positioning locales is back linking. In the event that a website has zero back links, search engines accept the site is pointless. Nonetheless, if the area has a great many back links, search engines can see that the site and substance are helpful. You need connections from brilliant sites, or informal organizations that are identified with your industry. That is the place website substance comes in. Search motors need substance that is useful for clients. Your site can just have such a great amount of substance on it.
Anyway with a website, you can expound on what you feel is most useful for your crowd, regardless of on the off chance that it fits into a sitemap or not. Numerous clients hunt down how-to posts, records, and different sorts of substance that presumable aren't on your site. Blogging helps your substance fit into more hunt questions, expanding the quantity of potential clicks. When you have your own particular blog and create your substance, you're in control. You control your message. You control the catchphrases. You control the connections. Web journals provide for you the ability to control your online presence. Are you looking to support your site's rankings in internet searchers to drive natural activity? Provided that this is true, website streamlining is the thing that you require. A balanced SEO system involves catchphrase research, site enhancement, content era, back linking and then some.
Blogging stages utilize a blending of coding dialects, for example, PHP, HTML, and CSS, to show formats or subjects. Most common site entrance, called a "post," comprises of a title, the post body, post date, labels, and remarks. Powerful blog entries incorporate an appealing title, a convincing lead, a significant picture, the post body, and a call to activity.
Pages are utilized to show "evergreen" data, which doesn't oblige incessant redesigns. Each one page fills a particular reason, for example, giving the blogger's contact data, more insights about the blogger and the web page, and whatever else the blogger wishes to incorporate. Numerous prevalent bloggers make the obstinate and disputable substance. A few online journals are utilized as an instrument to profit for the blogger.
With the search engine analytics deals and change trackers, you can see which posts captivate guests and use them to advance your substance further. In a website, watchwords can show up in meta labels, titles, headers, subheaders, page titles, post URLs and picture filenames. For a social networking profile, decisive words are imperative in the fields for business portrayal, profile title, picture names, inscriptions and the content you use with each one post. At the point when a pivotal word or key expression shows up in numerous spots, it is more applicable to Internet searchers for that theme.
To thrive in your present business picking up business tactics like SEO and BLOGGING are must. The sign of success for a site is its page ranking along with the visitors that envelope the site.
Thus it is clear that blogging is really a very efficient way of conducting business procedures in a very efficient way. By now all of you must have become aware of the benefits of blogging in SEO. This tool will no doubt add stars to your business and drag you to the summits of success. Remember the signs of a good site are a huge swarming traffic, a good visibility on-line and last but not the least top ranks in search engine pages.

My two sisters arrived in Singapore last week of April for a good vacation before my youngest sister Mary Rose starts her class this June. My Sister Mary Grace, 21 this July, Been here in Singapore and Malaysia as well many times already. Mary Rose 10 this December, it's her first time travelling in a foreign country, First time in Singapore and visited Malaysia just yesterday. The other day Mary Grace and I tried putting her my false eyelashes since she was very curious before how it feels like and wanted to learn as well how to put it. I bought it before but never use it.
But as how the story goes, I wasn't content that time that I actually asked her to put my leather dress on, huge ribbons and my favourite Spikey heels for a bit of photos. Then she started posing for me. Took 60+ photos of her and I guess all the photos looks good for me. I am not a professional photographer or even not a professional stylists but this is how all the day went after we did the small photo shoot in our house. Indeed my sister rocked my leather dress! Wishing I have the same gorgeous legs also! haha!
Bought the necklace in Bugis Junction.
Bought this Spikey shoes code DAS24 in Philippines from the two gorgeous' Bhagwandas sisters. Visit their FACEBOOK PAGE for more information on how to order this lovely shoes!
Close-up of how we made her eyes with a simple eyeliner and falsies. I guess it looks fine though. Not too bad for someone like us whose first-timers haha!
I hope you guys liked it and enjoyed our small photo-sessions that time! Above is our photo together last year in front of Orchard Road. I will be blogging about my sisters trip here in Singapore in the next coming days and how everything went so well after all the super tiring day we did the whole month they'd stay here. More good photos coming very soon! Thanks for reading! God bless xoxo
