Hypothetical typical questions and possible answers that may appear for opposition politicians in Singapore – 1
How I Initially Became Scared (And Then Fearless) of the Supernatural
When I was in primary school, my sister once borrowed a book home. It was entitled "Supernatural World". Using the book, my sister would talk about how scary things like vampires, ghosts or dead people would suddenly appear at night. It was scary to hear about how those ghoulish white-skinned people, with sharp incisors, ugly skin and black cloaks would suddenly appear out of a cloud of bats. Or whether things in white sheets would suddenly appear from the darkness and spirit me away into other scary places.
However, all this was thankfully neutralised by my voracious appetite for reading, and watching cartoons.
When I was young, I used to be a huge fan of "The Three Investigators". In this series, Jupiter Jones, Peter Cranshaw and Robert Andrews are three young boys who go out to solve crimes which have befuddled police. Some of the riddles they have solved include those involving supernatural stuff. These include whispering mummies, talking skulls, singing serpents and other mysterious riddles.
Watching television introduced me to Scooby Doo, a cartoon series which involved many villains using tricks to make up supernatural happenings to commit crimes.
It was clear to me from a very young age that the supernatural world simply did not exist.
Thoughts from A Visit to Universal Studios Singapore
Recently, I went to the Universal Studios amusement park in Singapore to celebrate a friend's birthday. The place comprised an interesting theme park, with plenty of rides and shows related to the motion pictures produced by Universal Studios. Personally, theme parks have never been a staple of my taste of must-see-before-I-die places (I much prefer greenery any day), but as things went, it was still a generally great way to spend the day, and marvel at the engineering and decorative aspects of the large-scale amusement park.
The queues to most of the more thrilling and popular rides were long, but it was admirable how the planners of the rides had put on their thinking caps to make the queueing bearable – and continuous. Waiting was never a complaint, for there were always signs to read and videos to watch.
For example, for the queue line leading to the Transformers ride, we walked through an array of screen panels and switches. Even though they did nothing even when pressed, few (children and adults alike) didn't resist the temptation to turn the knobs or press the buttons when they walked through them. There was also an interactive video explaining the story behind the ride we were going to take.
The riders were split up into groups of fifteen, each group to be seated in an "EVAC" – the vehicle which (according to the story) was to enter a base through enemy territory and smuggle a device to safety.
The ride itself was an interesting affair. We had to put on 3-dimensional glasses for the ride before it started. Traversing through the streets, we were taken through combat between Optimus Prime (If you don't know about the Transformers cartoon series and its characters, go here) and Megatron.
Throughout the journey, the effects were spectacular. If you didn't know better, you would feel as if you were really being chased through the streets by Megatron and his army of Decepticon robots, including being smashed through skyscrapers, chased through the streets, evading the Decepticon robots, getting swallowed and falling down from tens of storeys.
BATTLESTAR GALACTICA (Human)
This was a high-speed roller-coaster ride. The requirements were quite stringent – we were not to carry loose articles during the ride. However, thankfully, the amusement park planners had thought of something to mitigate this minor inconvenience. Lockers were situated only a stone's throw away from where the queue entrances were. We had to enter our dates of birth at the computer terminal, and were given a selection of colours to choose from. If we had chosen orange, for example, a locker number in the zone of orange-coloured lockers would be automatically unlocked and assigned to us. After placing our articles into the lockers and closing the door, the locker would automatically lock by itself, and be reopened once we re-entered our dates of birth into the computer terminal. Lockers were also placed strategically near rides where we wanted to deposit our items.
The Battlestar Galactica ride had two options – the Human and Cylon versions. The Human version contained no inverted loops, but was faster. Being through many topsy-turvy and dramatic changes in altitude while flying, I had been more mentally prepared than most others for what the ride could offer, but the first drop from the peak of the ride still managed to surprise me somewhat. Only when I observed the roller coasters a moment later, did Irealise that the two roller coasters actually ran concurrently.
BATTLESTAR GALACTICA (Cylon)
The Cylon version was, unlike the human version, an inverted roller-coaster that ran in tandem with the latter. It featured several inverted loops, and even involved a loop very near the ground, complete with dry ice. It could have been a thrilling ride, had this blogger not had more harrowing experiences in the air before.
The Revenge of The Mummy ride was not unlike the Transformers. However, we had to deposit our articles, and it also featured more "dark" themes – like skeletons, creepy-crawlies, and an undead Egyptian mummy. Additionally, the Mummy was a real roller-coaster ride. A novelty which I had never experienced before, was that the roller-coaster actually travelled backwards on one stage.
The Jurassic ride was water-based, and it featured a ride through a land of dinosaurs. What was impressive was the prodigious research conducted in the making of the videos and signboards we could read while waiting for our turn to take the ride, describing the characteristics of various kinds of dinosaurs that used to exist. It featured a few surprises in store as well.
The Waterworld show was a spectacular drama fest. It featured plenty of choreographed fight scenes, controlled explosions, people jumping into the water from heights one would normally never have contemplated. There was even a scene where one of the characters had his clothes set on fire. It was a great show, and one has to also give credit to the planners, who had the seats painted in different colours, to distinguish between the "Soak Zone" (where getting wet was expected), the "Wet Zone" (where getting wet was a matter of luck), and the normal zones.
On the whole, the whole theme park was a thoughtfully and elaborately designed affair. Aside from featuring the staples of normal amusement parks (albeit window-dressed), like teacups, merry-go-rounds and mascots that have become household names (like Kung Fu Panda, Madagascar characters etc), there were also dances, antique cars and tastefully-decorated street fronts that literally took you across different eras.
From the many souvenir shops, you could hear various soundtrack music, and buy some mementos for keepsake (such as Oscar trophies for "Best Boyfriend").
All in all, it was a well-designed theme park, great for group outings, and even better if you were into movies produced by them. Much applause has to be given to the engineering team who designed the rides, and to the team involved in the aesthetic aspects of the park.
Having said that though, I wonder how a local Member of Parliament could say that being unable to take her parents there was her greatest regret in life. There are certainly more things in life than visits to amusement parks, no matter how much fun they contained.
Atheists – The Untrustworthy Kind
An interesting essay on how atheists are perceived.
Another Friendly Reminder – "Just Cremate Us".
My parents have just returned from my uncle's funeral (held in Malaysia). Apparently the immediate families of the bereaved had spared no expenses to organise an extravagant funeral for him.
Not too long ago, they told me what they saw.
It was during a ride in the car from the airport that we spoke. Or, rather, they did most of the talking while I drove the car.
"It was so expensive. What good does a funeral like that do?" my mother asked.
"Death happens to everyone, it's not as if the dead will thank you anyway," my father agreed.
"It's such a bother. Next time when it comes to our turns, remember – don't bother giving us such nonsense," my mother said. "Ching Ming's such a waste of time, especially when so many people have to come from so many different places to visit a pile of ashes. Just burn us and be done with it. I don't even remember my parents now."
"Yes," my father said. "If you want to remember us, just go for a picnic or a hike, do something more meaningful than burn incense papers and polluting the environment. Don't even bother with a crematorium slot – scatter part of our ashes into the sea, part of them in the ground and part of them in the air."
"Okay," I said, my eyes firmly focussed on the road. "I don't mind, but please put it in your wills. No one's going to accuse me of being disrespectful if I don't organise any kind of funeral rites for you."
"Ahhh don't need to do that – just remember our wishes," my father said.
Lest I forget, I put it up in my blog.
On Jason Neo's "Bus filled with young terrorist trainees" picture
Recently, you may have read in the newspapers that Jason Neo from the Young PAP was made to apologise and resigned from the Young PAP for posting a photograph of Muslim children in a Huda Kindergarten school bus with the words "Bus filled with young terrorist trainees".
A few points to note here:
1. Jason Neo was NOT insulting Islam. There is nothing in the photograph caption which equates Islam with terrorism.
2. Jason Neo was NOT calling the entire Muslim community in Singapore terrorists. There is, again, nothing in the photograph caption which equates the Muslim community with terrorism
3. Jason Neo's remarks were indeed offensive, but offensive not to the Muslim community, not to Islam, but offensive to the children in the picture, as well as to the teaching staff of Huda Kindergarten.
What could we grasp from his caption and photograph?
Jason Neo COULD BE saying that:
1. Huda Kindergarten was trying to poison their children's minds to become future terrorists i.e. it is a terrorist training ground.
2. The children are terrorist trainees.
Neither of these allegations can be proven or disproven, except by Huda Kindergarten and the children in the picture. Already, Jason Neo has apologised for his remark, so this entire saga can be considered to be over.
It would be best if everyone managed to be more rational about what they read, and not jump the gun and assume that Jason Neo was tarring the entire Muslim community.
Cooling-Off Day – How to Deal With Nicole Seah and Tin Pei Ling's Violations
So Tin Pei Ling violated the Cooling-Off Day rules:
– from The Temasek Review
And, by some PAP supporters, Nicole Seah too – twice:
– from Pwned??? Nicole Seah – cooling-off day restrictions apply on polling day as well.
– from Pwned??? Nicole Seah – cooling-off day restrictions apply on polling day as well.
I'd love to see what the PAP supporters do now – and I'd love to see them report Nicole Seah to the police for the exact same thing. Not that I, an ardent Opposition supporter wanting to see the PAP become more humble, would be happy about it, but it would be most interesting to see how the police deals with both cases.
Will they only prosecute Nicole Seah?
Will they prosecute both Tin Pei Ling and Nicole Seah?
Will they say that both breached the Cooling-off Day rules?
Come on, PAP supporters! Report Nicole Seah as well, and let's see how fairly the police handles both breaching cases. Nicole Seah's alleged breach wouldn't lose the NSP any seats, but Tin Pei Ling's will. Then if there is a by-election, both parties can always come and contest in the constituency and election fever will be back again. YAY!

I was extremely fortunate to hear Handel's "Messiah" performed on the evening of Nov. 4 at the Cathedral Church of St. Luke in Portland.
Led by its brilliant young conductor, Emily Isaacson, the Oratorio Chorale provided a truly transporting rendition of Handel's masterpiece. Its message of hope, joy and deliverance seems especially meaningful in these grim times.
Many thanks to Dr. Isaacson, the outstanding soloists and members of the Chorale and Chamber Ensemble for bringing this magnificent work to Portland. It's seldom performed here, which is surprising and disappointing, given the abundant musical talent that resides in our city.

U.S. drone strike kills senior al-Qaida commanderDecember 9, 2012
PESHAWAR, Pakistan - A senior al-Qaida commander has been killed in a U.S. drone strike in North Waziristan, the restive tribal area along the border with Afghanistan, Pakistani security officials said Sunday.
The commander, Abdel Rehman al-Hussainan died after a drone fired several missiles late last week into a house near Mir Ali, a notorious hub of Islamist militancy, one senior official said, speaking on the condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media.
"We can now confirm his death," he said.
But the official played down speculation that the militant, who was also known as Abu Zaid al-Kuwaiti, had been viewed as a likely successor to al-Qaida's leader, Ayman al-Zawahri, who is also believed to have taken shelter in Pakistan's lawless tribal region.
Instead, the official said, a militant named Abdur Rehman al-Maghbiri was most likely to be the next leader of al-Qaida.

As speculation about the fate of al-Hussainan swirled over the weekend, some reports, citing Pakistani and U.S. officials, said that he had replaced Abu Yahya al-Libi, the group's deputy leader who was killed in a U.S. drone strike in June.

Is there really a gender pay gap in the UK? Well, of course there is. In the UK men pay 72% of the income tax and women only 28%. So obviously there's a pay gap. You could equally call it a work gap, mind you. It doesn't seem so great for men then. The real question is whether there is an unfair pay gap. Do men get paid more for doing the same work? The answer to that is an emphatic "no". Even the feminists now agree with that (some of them). But that does not stop leading politicians, like Barrack Obama, crawling to the feminist lobby by making big speech points on the gender pay gap. No, Mr Obama, women do not get paid 77 cents in the dollar for the same work as men. No one believes that silliness any more. Saying things like that is just politics. How far have we sunk that politicians feel obliged to pander to the feminists by repeating nonsense that even the feminists themselves do not believe? Feminists are now so ultra confident of their position that they can force world leaders to dance on the end of a string.
In the essay linked below I collect data and other evidence that elucidates the true position, both on pay and on job choices. This does not only cover pay but also the issues raised by professions in which one sex is greatly under-represented, such as engineering (mostly men) or school teaching (mostly women). Whilst these gender-skews in the professions arise due to free choices, not discrimination, the efforts that are made to reduce such skews are extremely biased. Enormous efforts and funds are expended to encourage women into technical jobs whereas very little is done to ancourage men into the likes of school teaching, especially at primary level, or nursing - or, indeed, all those gender policy roles in public bodies which tend to be occupied almost exclusively by women. That this is so is largely because, whilst men go out of their way to assist women in scientific, engineering and technology occupations, there is no reciprocation. Women appear to be, at best, unconcerned about the under-representation of men in, say, teaching or nursing. Worse, there is evidence of actual hostility to the idea.
In summary my essay makes the following conclusions,
- For part time workers, women on average have an hourly pay rate 5.7% greater than that of men (2013 data).
- For full time workers, there is no significant gender pay gap in the median hourly pay rate for men and women in the age range 18 to 40 (Figure 5 of my essay below).
- Women without children working full time in the age range 18 to 40 earn more than men per hour worked.
- The larger annual number of new women graduates compared to male graduates suggests that the gender pay gap in favour of younger women will increase in future.
- Women over 40 on average have lower hourly pay rates than men. This can be attributed to career breaks for child rearing as well as life style choices, including preferred professions, which do not place the emphasis on earnings to the same degree as men.
- There is no gender based discrimination evident in the data for full time working. Figure 5 is compelling in this respect, as are the arguments presented in my essay linked below.
- The gender pay gap disfavouring older women may diminish in future as women with degrees age and move into the older population (but this is speculative).
- On average, male employees work longer hours than female employees, and men who are self-employed work far longer hours than self employed women.
- All UK income is split 65%:35% between men and women, men's larger share being partly due to greater average hourly pay rates and partly due to longer hours worked.
- Men pay 72% of income tax, and women just 28%.
- On average men pay 19.4% of their income in income tax, whereas women pay 14.2%.
- The greater earnings of men is not an indication of male privilege but an indication of male obligation to work for women's benefit.
- The more overtime a husband does, the healthier his wife becomes. The more overtime a wife does, the less healthy her husband becomes.
- Whilst the phrase "pay gap" is familiar, the phrase "spend gap" is not. But who is privileged, he who earns more or she who spends more? Data is sparse but women are believed to spend the majority of household income, estimated as between 67% and 85%.
- The number of organisations and campaigns encouraging more women into STEM professions is so great that it is not a practical possibility to list them all.
- These initiatives receive support from the highest government levels and are extremely well funded, to the tune of hundreds of millions of pounds in the last 12 months alone.
- In particular these initiatives in favour of encouraging women into STEM professions are strongly and actively supported by trade unions and professional institutes such as the IOP and the IMechE, etc. In these instances, the majority (men) are assisting the minority (women) to reverse their minority status.
- In contrast, whilst some bodies do attempt to encourage more men into teaching, especially primary teaching, e.g., the Training and Development Agency for Schools, there are very few organisations or campaigns doing this and they appear to receive little influential support and virtually no funding.
- In, say, engineering, the minority sex is encouraged with such awards as the Young Women Engineer Award. There is no equivalent in teaching, e.g., there is no Male Primary Teacher Award. Men help women, but women will not help men.
- If a National Women in Engineering Day is justified, and an International Girls in ICT Day, why is there no National Men in Primary Teaching Day?
- There has been a UK Commons Select Committee report on "Women in Scientific Careers" but no similar concern about men in teaching or nursing.
- If we can have a charter for women in STEM supported by the TUC and the Royal Society and launched via a campaign at the House of Commons involving MPs signing pledges to take action in support of this initiative, then why can we not have the same for men in primary school teaching?
- Of greatest concern is that the teachers unions are at best lukewarm on the issue of encouraging more men into the profession, and at worst actually hostile to the idea. In this case, the majority (women) appear content that the minority (men) should remain as such.
- Graham Holley, chief executive of the Training and Development Agency for Schools, has said "Whenever I talk about the need to get more men into primary teaching, the unions say I'm being anti-women", see Ref.[54] of my essay linked below.
- In comparing the issue of women in STEM and men in teaching, bear this in mind: only the women in question benefit from the former whereas the entire rising generation would benefit from the latter. So isn't the biased concern the wrong way around?
- Teachers' unions exhibit clear feminist ideology, including familiar feminist assertions which are factually incorrect. When coupled with the evidence for anti-male bias by teachers as derived here together with the major and increasing under-performance of boys in education, this is extremely worrying.
- The NUT has the audacity to complain that women are approximately four times less likely to become heads in primary schools than their male colleagues. But actually there are twice as many women heads in primary schools than men. When they say "four times less likely" this is against a female:male teacher ratio of nearly 8:1. This is how cunning, and staggeringly dishonest, is feminist propaganda. They make a massive disadvantage against men (11% of primary teachers) seem like unfairness to women. They are complaining that there are only twice as many female heads - and they want far more. Got it?
- On the Association of Teachers and Lectures web site you can find a document "Do we need more men?" addressing the issue of men in primary teaching, Ref.[55]. Here are some extracts. "It is a well-known phenomenon that primary teachers are predominantly women. But is this really such a problem? To contend that we need more male primary staff because they bring unique attributes and skills that women do not have reinforces discrimination and is at odds with research that shows a teacher's gender has no impact on educational attainment. To suggest that male teachers are better at getting pupils, in particular boys, to behave and work harder, is not only contradicted by evidence, but it is also systematically devaluing excellent female education staff up and down the country". Now let me re-write how that would appear in the context of engineering with the genders reversed, we get this gem..."It is a well-known phenomenon that engineers are predominantly men. But is this really such a problem? To contend that we need more female engineers because they bring unique attributes and skills that men do not have reinforces discrimination and is at odds with research that shows an engineer's gender has no impact on the product. To suggest that female engineers will improve a company is not only contradicted by evidence, but it is also systematically devaluing excellent male engineering staff up and down the country". Do you get it now?

For lack of a better title, Cycle Day 18
Nothing new to report, really. Back on the FSH and LH–I really can't get enough of the stuff. Predictably slow cycle, of course. I've now come to expect it and it is much less disappointing going to ultrasounds now because I'm not surprised any more when nothing is happening. My husband's morphology turned out to be good, so now there really isn't any more information we can gather unless we decide to do IVF, which we have not seriously considered yet. Oh, except the progesterone test a week after ovulation, to make sure I ovulated. That is obviously a ways off.
I really have been thinking about this in a better way, though. I think I felt like it had to happen during the first three cycles or it meant something was probably truly wrong. Since this last failure, though, I've heard about a lot of people who took eight months, nine months, a year to get pregnant. I will assume that was eight tries, nine tries, twelve tries…and we've only tried thrice (four times if you count the two eggs of the last cycle). And that's okay.
On the recommendation of my doctor, I went to see the fertility therapist–she is "the" fertility therapist because she apparently knows all the doctors in town and I guess is the main person who does this. My doctor said that people are surprised to find that they start thinking about things differently after talking to her. Well, she was very nice, and it's always lovely to be able to sit around for an hour or so and talk about yourself, and it's especially nice to talk about a process with someone who understands that process in a world where not many people do. But to be honest, I didn't find it all that enlightening. She basically said what I knew she would say, which is that I have to find a way to live my life with this without going crazy. I have to live the part of my life that isn't trying to conceive, and even though it won't be able to be quite as full as it otherwise would, I have to try and not let it run my life. Yeah, I know. And I feel like I've gotten better at that lately. She also encouraged me not to be afraid of my doctor, to get a second opinion if it would make me feel better, and to talk to my office about cutting costs. I thought that was good, and I promptly moved my ultrasound to a day later, since I knew that nothing would be happening on Thursday anyway. I feel like they can be more spread out and maybe I don't have to have quite so many. Another thing she said is that I have to treat myself nicely during this time. Be decadent when I need it. I liked hearing that.
Not much else to say about it. I still feel jealous when I hear about other people getting pregnant. I still want it badly. But I still think I'll have it. I just hope it doesn't take too too too long, or cost too too too much money. But any amount would be worth it, of course.
In other aspects of my life, I had a fantastic long weekend last Thursday through Sunday at the wedding of two of my best friends (they married each other). Since we were the only people traveling across the country for the wedding (as far as I know), we got to hang out with the couple alone before everyone arrived and after everyone left. It was so much fun, though it made me miss college terribly. And the best was that these were my friends from college, but my husband hasn't been able to stop talking about it and he now wishes he went to my college and lived back east permanently so we could hang out with these people all the time. That is so much fun for me, I can't even tell you.
Ah well, back to life. And work. I will tell you though, that was my last event where I have to worry about fitting into a dress (I was a bridesmaid). It is a big relief to not have to worry about that anymore.

Deja Vu, I never thought that this movie would turn out to be so profound in thought and execution. Like many hypothetical sci-fi movies this one is remembered by me as one of the best. The actors are strong expressive kind. And the movie and screenplay itself makes you sit and watch till the end and expect more and more and leave you with a lots of questions after the movie is over. Also it allows our minds to dream of a future with a billion possibilities.
Oblivion on the other hand is on the negative side of the utopian dream. But also the imagination is new and very sci-fi. The animation and grandeur shown is brilliant to watch. Then also the movie leaves filling you with a sense of wonderment that the earth is still beautiful and there is always a good hope and belief that we would turn out to be good at the end and we can still save the world from the brink.

SEO, or search engine optimization, has come a long way since the early days of the web. In the beginning, search engine optimization was talked about mainly by programmers and other people in the technology world. Now, however, SEO is on the minds of every mom and pop e-shop owner. The reason for this is simple: implementing a successful SEO campaign is critical if you want to see your website reach the top of the search engine rankings – once you reach the top, you have a much better chance of boosting revenue. There are a number of measures and steps you can take to create your SEO campaign, but it is important to understand one thing: you can't force SEO. Search engine optimization is a multifaceted effort that requires time and patience. Here are five ways to improve your website's SEO in 2014.
- Boost your onsite SEO tactics. When it comes to website SEO, you want to implement much of your campaign on your actual website. Basically, you want to build a blog and post on it everyday, or every other day – the more posts, the better. Also, you want to embed keywords. You don't want to arbitrarily enter keywords – you want to research popular keywords and then plug them into relevant posts. Also, adding meta information is important too – like site descriptions and titles.
- Use video in your SEO campaign. The future of SEO is always changing, but video is quickly becoming an incredibly powerful tool to boost your website's placement on the search engines. Video is powerful because the medium is favored over other types of content when it comes to learning about a certain topic. So, you may want to think about creating little infomercial-style videos and then post them on your site – before you do, however, you want to post the video transcript in the meta description area, so that it can be crawled by the bots.
- Make sure to name all of your image files before you upload. Naming files is important, because image searching can be really powerful. When someone goes to make an inquiry using the image filter, you want to hope that your website gets listed first. If your images aren't named, though, there is a good chance that your website won't be on the first page. So, be sure to name all image files.
- Utilize the power of on-site SEO plug-ins. A lot of websites are on content management platforms, like WordPress. If you want to maximize your SEO campaign, you want to install a plugin that automatically optimizes your content and your webpages. These plugins make it easy to enter meta information and keywords. The stronger your backend meta information is, the more optimized your site will be.
- Shed black hat SEO tactics. This year, the search engines have implemented a number of changes to their algorithms, which means that you want to cut back any black hat SEO methods that you may be implementing. These methods could include link farming and keyword cramming. In the end, these black hat methods could cause you to get slapped with a penalty, which could totally compromise your SEO campaign.

OTTAWA — This entire series couldn't have gone without Derick Brassard landing a gut-punch to his former Ranger teammates, and he landed one on Saturday, getting credit for the tying goal with 1:26 left in regulation of the Rangers' 5-4, Game 5 loss, batting a rebound out of the air before the puck hit three Rangers and went in.
"We've been talking all the rebounds with (Henrik) Lundqvist. Everything high is coming in front," Brassard said. "I was just coming from the bench with kind of some speed. I just went into the slot there, I just batted it out of the air and I got lucky. We'll take it obviously."
Brassard had been having little impact in the series since Game 1, but he came through after hopping on as the extra attacker when Senators goaltender Craig Anderson went to the bench.
Kyle Turris' overtime winner at 6:28 was reviewed by the NHL to see if Turris was offside before the goal, but call on the ice was upheld.
"After reviewing all available replays and consulting with the linesman, NHL Hockey Operations staff confirmed that Turris had possession and control of the puck as he entered the attacking zone prior to the goal," an NHL statement said.
"According to Rule 83.1, 'a player actually controlling the puck who shall cross the line ahead of the puck shall not be considered 'off-side,' provided he had possession and control of the puck prior to his skates crossing the blue line.'"
The NHL's hockey operations initiate reviews in the final minute of the third and at any point in overtime on plays that would be subject to a coach's challenge.
The Rangers thought they might've won at 4:12 of overtime when Michael Grabner scored, but the goal was waved off because Grabner hit the puck in with a high stick. Kevin Hayes' pass was deflected up in the air before Grabner's no-goal.
Guy Boucher dusted off 37-year-old goon Chris Neil for his first game of the playoffs and just his second game since Feb. 26. When Tanner Glass was penalized for interference early in the second, Neil raced over and began punching Glass. Neil cost Ottawa a power play with a roughing infraction and a 10-minute misconduct.
The Rangers scored at least four goals in four or more consecutive playoff games for the first time since 1994, when they did it in six straight beginning with the first round against the Islanders.

Scoring five runs on as many hits, the Lugoff-Elgin baseball team extended its win streak to four games with a 5-1 road victory over Darlington in a Region 6-4A contest played at Williamson Field on Friday night.
On the day the South Carolina Baseball Coaches Association released their first regular season rankings of the season, Chapin sat atop the 4A poll.
You knew somebody was going to pay the price after Lugoff-Elgin dropped a 5-4 heartbreaker to rival Camden in last Wednesday night's home opener. That somebody was Midland Valley.
One night after a tough season-opening, 4-2, loss to Spring Valley and still riding high after such a great match against the Vikings, the Lugoff-Elgin tennis team traveled to Manning on Friday with high hopes, confidence and with a bit of trepidation with the Monarchs under the direction of a new head coach.
The Lugoff-Elgin strength team had yet another strong showing at the 2018 region strength meet, which L-E hosted. The Demons led the way with most state qualifiers from participating schools.

I started out my blog as a hater of jeans.
We're now reaching two posts in a row with denim features. How times have
changed. These days I'm a jeans lover – I actually ordered two pairs from ASOS
this week, with this pair a being a new treat from River Island. I was so
chuffed to see this style in the parcel… I'd been after some cute crops for
weeks! They're also extra soft – I
was sure I wouldn't be able to fit into my regular size, but these fit really
comfortably. There's nothing like not being able to fit into a pair of jeans to
put a whopping downer on your day!
With today being the 1st of September I'm
also starting to think about digging out my turtlenecks. Me and the high neck
are always going to be A/W best buds. This little knit is the first I'll be
wearing as we head into the in-between season – it's not that heavy to cause me
to melt. The only thing is it has shrunk a little… I have seen this one in the
Topshop sale, so maybe I should update!

The Nasdaq just released an index composed of government relief, which could soon lead to a related exchange traded fund (ETF).
Wall Street is making the most of a bad situation, as Nasdaq released their Government Relief Index, which tracks 24 companies that have received at least $1 billion from the Troubled Asset Relief Program. Next up are an option, a few ETFs, and possibly a structured note or two that will track the index, reports Tara Kalwarski for BusinessWeek.
The idea of the index and the funds are to let investors in on the performance of this mixed bag of down and out companies. Companies in the index include Citigroup (C), General Motors (GM), and American International Group (AIG).
There are no vehicles to invest in this index as of yet. Since Jan. 6, 2009, the index is down 13.7%, vs. the S&P 500's 6.7%.

Mirror locked up at 125th or slower and infill flash does not flash. At faster speed it works fine. The display on top of camera goes virtually blank and battery display flahes a sif it battery was exhausted. If shutter release is pressed again then camera goes back to normal 'ready to sheet' mode.As flash is synced to 125th I suspect that the flash is the problem (or maybe it is just coincidence) I have tried cleaning, used lenses and put in a brand new battery.

This post will not focus so much on modern politics or United States history, however, it is very relevant to both modern conservatives and the American education system. Perhaps you have read our article about the failure of the education system, but if you missed it, here is a link. This post is basically an addendum to that one, focussing on two key latin phrases that I believe everyone should know.
Sapere Aude
This latin phrase translates directly into "dare to know". It is largely associated with the Age of Enlightenment during the 17th and 18th centuries, but it originally showed up in literature well before that (Wikipedia). But let's digest this even more, because as conservatives, we strive for knowledge.
Dare to be wise. Dare to stand out in a crowd. Dare to be in opposition to the status quo. In an age with plentiful liberal distractions, dare to argue, debate, and research issues. Dare to learn more about the world around you, about politics, science, philosophy, religion, art, and literature. Dare to engage in informed dialogue about your beliefs, and conform your beliefs to evidence. Dare to be a conservative in a time where our numbers are dwindling. I implore everyone to care about the issues, and don't worry about what others think of you. Pursuing knowledge and truth should be our ultimate goal in life, and as conservatives, we should strive for this in every way, shape, and form.
Nullius in Verba
This latin phrase is actually the Royal Society's motto (Wikipedia). It literally translates to "nothing in words", but it actually has a much deeper meaning.
"Nothing in words" also means "take the word of no one" or "take nobody's word for it". But that still has a deeper meaning. It means to question authority, to see and find things out for yourself, to research on your own and come to your own conclusions. Question all authority, demand evidence and think critically about the issues, whether it be politics, science, art, literature, or religion. Take nobody's word for it, because in the age of information, there are so many voices to listen to. Perform experiments on your own, research on your own, and make your own decisions about your views. Justify your claims with evidence. Question everything. All of this is very relevant to politics as well. We have so many in authority, whether it be governors, senators, justices, congressmen, candidates, or the president himself.
If there is one thing to take out of this article, it is to think for yourself. Do not let the education system indoctrinate you into thinking a specific way. Be open to other viewpoints, and evaluate everything critically. Too many times schools teach our children what to think, not how to think.

What is Chloasma and What to Do and Not Do if You Have it
Most people are concerned about their appearance. Well I guess that statement is debatable at times. Just go to the local fair and have a look. (Sorry, that was mean.) There are so many things that can make us all feel self-conscious and embarrassed when it comes to how we look. Some things we can change, significant others and saggy jeans, and other things we can't change. For example, there just is no hope for ever changing my friggin' huge feet and long toes. I should be able to run up a telephone poll with these things.
There are also some things that we can maybe change, but these things may be harder to change than other things. For example, someone with a weight problem. If a person is overweight and has the will power, they can clean up their diet and get on an exercise program and eventually lose weight. (Which I personally think is a great idea.)
Skin Conditions
One of the biggest concerns for many people about their appearance, outside of weight, is their skin. I mean, I know I'm pretty concerned about my skin. Skin conditions like acne, melasma, chloasma, stretch marks, scars (I have plenty of these.), senile lentigines, birth marks and even freckles can make many people feel uncomfortable in social situations like going out, dating, going to the company party and just every day life. – And that's just no fun.
Have You Ever Suffered From a Skin Condition?
Let's Talk About Cholasma
One of the many skin conditions is called chloasma or "The mask of pregnancy." (You just have to respect women for all they go through to bring us little people.) This is technically melasma and a condition that affects expectant mothers. – And it affects about 50 to 75% of them. So if you have this condition, you definitely are not alone. Chloasma affects pregnant women because of the steep increase in estrogen levels.
What Are The Symptoms
The symptoms of cholasma are dark, brown, splotchy patches on the forehead, the cheeks and other places on the face of women who are pregnant. Also, some women may notice that their "linea nigra" (The line that runs down their belly.) becomes darker and so do their areolas. This can be more of an issue for darker skinned African and Asian women. Women who have the condition may also notice that moles and freckles on their body become darker as well.
Have You Experienced Chloasma?
What Should You Do if You Have Cholasma
If you have cholasma, one thing you want to do is to get a lot more folic acid in your diet. Eat foods like oranges, lentils, peas, green leafy vegetables and take a good prenatal vitamin. – And be consistent.
Sunlight can make this condition worse. For this reason you will also want to wear a sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or so all of the time, not just when you are outside as that beautiful sunshine we all know and love can still come through the windows.
When you do go outside, it's a good idea to wear a wide brimmed hat to help cover your face. Heck, they are pretty trendy these days anyway. Also consider wearing some of those big ol' Hollywood style sunglasses. – Of course, don't act like anyone in Hollywood. That's a condition in and of itself. I don't think it can be fixed!
Don't Do This If You Have Chloasma…
Okay, first and foremost, if you are an expectant mother, well then you are very aware that you are carrying mini-you in your belly. And that mini-you is the most important thing at the moment. – You want to keep it safe and protect it of course. So, do not try and treat chloasma with a skin peel, bleaches or anything that's just too "chemically" (You probably know this already.) There are concealers on the market that you can use that are safe and work very well, but again, remember to look out for the little person in there.
Is This Stuff Forever Or What?
The good news about this condition is that it eventually goes away. Yep, all this discoloration and splotches leave town. - "The mask of pregnancy" does not last forever. It usually ends shortly after mini-you joins the family.
In the event that you still have skin discoloration after you have delivered your baby and/or after breast feeding, see your dermatologist for treatment options.
