Paul Labile Pogba (born 15 March 1993) is a French professional footballer who plays for Italian club Juventus in Serie A. He operates primarily as a central midfielder and is comfortable at playing both in attack and defence.[3]
Pogba was described by his former club Manchester United as a "powerful, skilful, and creative" player who has "an eye for goal and a penchant for the spectacular".[4] In Italy, he gained the nicknames Il Polpo Paul ("Paul the Octopus") for his long legs that look like tentacles during tackling or running[5] and "Pogboom" for his explosive style and energy on the pitch.[6] These characteristics have led him to be compared with former France international Patrick Vieira.[7] He received the Golden Boyaward for 2013, given to the best under-21 player in Europe, followed by the Bravo Award in 2014, awarded to the best under-23 player who has participated in European competitions.[8]
Pogba played internationally for France with the national youth football team, representing his nation at all levels for which he was eligible. With the under-16 team, he captained his nation to victories at the Aegean Cup and the Tournoi du Val-de-Marne and, at under-17 level, played at the 2010 UEFA European Under-17 Football Championship. At under-20 level, he captained his nation to victory at the 2013 FIFA U-20 World Cup and took home the Best Player award for his performances during the tournament. He made his debut for the senior French national team on 22 March 2013 in a 3–1 win against Georgia, and scored his first World Cup goal on 30 June 2014 against Nigeria; he was awarded the Best Young Player Award for his performances at the 2014 FIFA World Cup, after reaching the quarter-final.[9]
In January 2014, Pogba was named by The Guardian as one of the ten most promising young players in Europe.[10]

Club career
Early life and career
Pogba was born in Lagny-sur-Marne, Seine-et-Marne, to Guinean parents.[11] He has two older twin brothers who are also footballers. Florentin, the eldest, currently plays for French club AS Saint-Étienne,[12] while Mathias plays for English clubCrawley Town.[13]
Pogba began his football career at the age of six playing for US Roissy-en-Brie, a few miles south of his hometown. He spent seven seasons at the club before joining US Torcy, where he served as captain of the club's under-13 team.[14] After one season with Torcy, Pogba joined professional club Le Havre. In his second season at the club, Pogba captained its under-16 team to the final phase of its domestic league, the Championnat National des 16 ans. Le Havre finished second to Lens in the final group phase, finishing ahead of the likes of Lyon andNancy.[15] Pogba also established himself as a youth international for his country. His performances domestically and internationally led to interest from English club Arsenal as well as Italian club Juventus.[16]
Departure to Manchester United

"The player [Pogba] and his parents refused to keep the arrangement because Manchester United offered very high sums of money to the parents of the [player] with the aim of obtaining the transfer of their son."
Le Havre's response to Pogba's decision to join Manchester United.[17]
On 31 July 2009, Pogba announced that he was departing Le Havre to join the youth academy of Manchester United in England. The move stunned his parent club, as it allegedly had a "non-solicitation agreement" with Pogba, which was agreed to by not only the player but also his parents in 2006. The agreement, which was in place until the end of the2009–10 season, allowed Le Havre to sign Pogba to an aspirant (youth) contract once the player met specific age and scholarship requirements.[18] On 1 August, Le Havre released an official statement on its website criticising Manchester United and the Pogba family.[17] Le Havre also announced its intent to ask FIFA to probe the situation.[19]
In response to Le Havre's accusations, Manchester United threatened to sue the club, while Pogba denied he was leaving Le Havre for monetary reasons, which Le Havre president Jean-Pierre Louvel had alleged to be £87,000 and a house.[20][21] Le Havre was also accused by Pogba's former club Torcy of using the same tactics it purported Manchester United to have used when the club acquired Pogba from its youth academy. On the same day of Pogba's announcement to depart for England, Torcy released a press release on its official website criticising Le Havre's accusations, stating, "We will not use the term 'steal,' but the recruiters of Le Havre acted the same way with the club in Torcy." The club cited Le Havre's acceptance of allowing Pogba to sign an amateur license with the club without notifying Torcy as its primary reason why.[14][22] On 7 October, Manchester United were cleared of wrongdoing by a judge appointed by FIFA, with the declaration that Pogba was not contractually linked to Le Havre.[23] Despite having the option to appeal, on 18 June 2010, Le Havre officials confirmed that the club had reached an agreement with Manchester United for the transfer of Pogba. The terms of the agreement were confidential.[24][25]
Manchester United
Pogba completed his transfer to Manchester United on 7 October 2009[26] and made his debut with the club's under-18 team on 10 October against Crewe Alexandra in a 2–1 defeat.[27] He finished the 2009–10 under-18 campaign with seven goals in 21 appearances.[28] The team finished first in their group, but lost to Arsenal 5–3 on penalties in the play-off semi-finals.[29] In April 2010, Pogba was a part of the under-18 team that successfully defended their title at the Torneo Calcio Memorial Claudio Sassi-Sassuolo inBologna, Italy.[30] In the 2010–11 season, Pogba remained on the club's academy team in the Premier Academy League and played with the team during the first three months of the season. In November 2010, he was called up to the club's reserve team and made his debut on 2 November 2010 in a 3–1 win over Bolton Wanderers.[31] On 10 January 2011, in the FA Youth Cup, Pogba scored a long-range goal, described as a "piledriver", in the team's 3–2 victory over Portsmouth. The win allowed the team to progress to the fourth round of the competition.[32] A month later, Pogba scored a similar goal in a 3–2 defeat to West Bromwich Albion in the Academy League.[33]
On 19 February 2011, Pogba was one of four academy players promoted to the first-team squad by manager Alex Ferguson ahead of Manchester United's FA Cup fifth round match against Crawley Town, for which he was assigned the number 42 shirt.[34] He continued in the under-18s for the rest of the season, helping the team to a lengthy run in the FA Youth Cup; in the semi-final encounter against Chelsea in the competition, Pogba converted a goal in the first leg, a 3–2 defeat,[35] and provided the assist for the opening goal of the second leg, a 4–0 win.[36] In the final, Manchester United defeated Sheffield United 6–3 on aggregate to win their 10th Youth Cup title; Pogba started and played the entire match in both legs.[37][38]
Ahead of the start of the 2011–12 season, Ferguson confirmed that Pogba would feature with the senior team during the season, stating: "I mean if we hold Pogba back, what's going to happen? He's going to leave. You know, in a couple of years' time when his contract is going to finish. So we have to give him the opportunity to see how he can do in the first-team and he's got great ability".[39] Pogba was promoted to the club's reserve team permanently for the 2011–12 season and made his first appearance of the season on 15 August 2011 in the team's opening Premier Reserve League match against Arsenal.[40] On 25 August, in the team's second league match against Swansea City reserves, Pogba scored the second goal in a 6–0 rout.[41] On 19 September, he was named to the first team to participate in their Football League Cup tie against Leeds United the following day, with Ferguson proclaiming: "I intend to play him [Pogba] against Leeds United".[42] Pogba appeared as a half-time substitute to make his professional debut as Manchester United won the match 3–0.[43] Pogba made his second appearance against Aldershot Town in the Fourth Round of the League Cup on 25 October 2011.[44]
Pogba made his Premier League debut against Stoke City on 31 January 2012, replacing Javier Hernández in the 72nd minute.[45] He made another substitute appearance against West Bromwich Albion on 11 March.[46] Four days later, he made his European debut in the second leg of the team's UEFA Europa League round of 16 tie against Spanish club Athletic Bilbao; he appeared as a substitute in the 2–1 away defeat, coming on for Michael Carrick in the 63rd minute as Manchester United lost the tie 5–3 on aggregate.[47]
On 3 July 2012, Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson confirmed that Pogba had left the club after not signing a new contract.[48]Ferguson stated that Pogba had signed for Italian club Juventus "a long time ago as far as we're aware." Ferguson also accused Pogba of disrespecting Manchester United, saying "It is disappointing. I don't think he showed us any respect at all, to be honest. I'm quite happy that if they [footballers] carry on that way, they're probably better doing it away from us."[49] On 27 July, Juventus confirmed on their official website that Pogba had undergone a medical at the club,[50] and the transfer was completed on 3 August, when he signed a four-year contract.[51] He made his first appearance for Juventus in a pre-season friendly against Benfica in Geneva on 1 August, coming on as a 78th-minute substitute forAndrea Pirlo.[52]
Pogba's first competitive appearance with Juventus came in the Serie A match against Chievo on 22 September 2012, where he played the full 90 minutes.[53] On 2 October, Pogba made his first appearance in the UEFA Champions League in a 1-1 home draw against Shakhtar Donetsk,[54]and on 20 October, Pogba scored his first goal for the club in a 2–0 win over Napoli.[55] On 31 October, he started against Bologna and scored the game-winning goal in a 2–1 victory. Pogba also contributed to the opening goal scored by Fabio Quagliarella.[56] The midfielder was subsequently praised for his performance in the match by several Italian media outlets such as la Repubblica, Il Messaggero, and La Gazzetta dello Sport.[57]
On 19 January 2013, Pogba scored two goals against Udinese. Both goals were scored from outside the box, with one of them being a spectacular 40-yard goal. On 5 May 2013, Pogba was sent off in Juventus' Scudetto clinching game for spitting towards an opponent after being slapped in the face.[58]
On 18 August 2013, Pogba was a key protagonist of Juventus' 4–0 win over Lazio, the match that won Juventus the 2013 Italian Supercoppa. During the match, Pogba replacedClaudio Marchisio and scored the first goal of the game; he was elected "Man of the Match".[59] In December, Pogba was named 2013's Golden Boy for the best young player in Europe.[60]

Later that week, Pogba scored the only goal in Juventus's 1–0 win overBologna. Pogba was also named the man of the match for his performance.[62] Pogba would finish the season as a key player for the club, breaking into the starting line-up,[63]winning his second consecutive Serie A title under manager Antonio Conte, and reaching the semi-finals of the Europa League.[64]
On 20 September, under new Juventus manager Massimiliano Allegri, Pogba contributed to Juventus's win against Milan by providing the assist for the only goal of the game, scored by Carlos Tevez. Later that month, on 18 October, Pogba saved Juventus from a defeat against Sassuolo by scoring a decisive equaliser; he was later named man of the match.[65] On 24 October, Pogba renewed his contract with Juventus, tying him to the club until 2019.[66] On 4 November, on his 100th appearance with the club, Pogba scored Juventus's third goal against Olympiacos in the Champions League, helping them to win the match; this was his first ever Champions League goal.[62] On 22 November, he scored his first brace of the season, in a 3-0 win against Lazio at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome.[67] On 28 October, Pogba was named as one of the 23 shortlisted candidates for the 2014 Ballon d'Or; at 21, he was the youngest on the list.[68] In 2014, Pogba was awarded the Bravo Award, by the Italian sports magazine Il Guerin Sportivo, which is awarded to the best under-23 player who has participated in European competitions.[8]

International career
Pogba began his international career for France with the national youth football team and earned caps at all levels for which he was eligible. Prior to his international debut, Pogba was named captain of the under-16 team by coach Guy Ferrier. He made his youth international debut on 23 September 2008 in the team's opening match of the campaign against Wales in Llanelli. France won the match 4–2.[78] Under Pogba's leadership, the team recorded impressive victories over Uruguay and Italy in the Tournoi du Val-de-Marne, and defeated the Republic of Ireland by a combined score of 8–2 over the course of two matches.[79][80][81][82] On 31 January 2009, he scored his first youth international goal in the 2009 Aegean Cup Final against Norway. The goal gave France a 1–0 lead and the team won the match 2–1 to win the tournament.[83] Pogba finished the under-16 campaign with 17 appearances and one goal.
For his role in allegedly breaking his contractual agreement with Le Havre, Pogba was suspended from international duty by the French Football Federation for six months.[84] As a result, Pogba was stripped of the captaincy and made his debut with the under-17 team late in the campaign on 13 February 2010 against England at the Algarve Cup.[85] He was a part of the team that played at the 2010 UEFA European Under-17 Football Championship scoring both of his goals with the team at the tournament. He scored the only goal in the team's 1–0 victory over Portugalin the group stage and netted his second in the team's 2–1 loss to England in the semi-finals.[86][87] Following the departure of Ferrier as the team's youth international coach, Pogba was re-instated as captain at his age level by new coach Pierre Mankowski. Mankowski had previously been the assistant manager of the senior national team under the reign of Raymond Domenech. Pogba made his under-18 debut on 27 October 2010 at the Tournio de Limoges against Greece in a 4–1 victory.[88] On 24 March 2011, Pogba scored his first goal with the team netting the game-winning goal in a 2–1 win over Germany. The goal was scored from over 30 metres (33 yd) out.[89]
Pogba made his debut with the under-19 team in its first match of the season against Italy on 6 September 2011. In the match, he assisted on two goals, scored by Jean-Christophe Bahebeck and Anthony Koura, in a 3–1 victory.[90] On 29 February 2012, he scored his first goal for the team in a 2–1 defeat to Spain.[91] In Elite Round qualificationfor the 2012 UEFA European Under-19 Football Championship, Pogba scored the fifth goal in the team's 6–0 rout of the Netherlands. The victory qualified France for the competition.[92] On 11 June 2012, Pogba was named to the squad to participate in the tournament. In the team's opening group stage match against Serbia, he converted a penalty in a 3–0 win.[93] France reached the semi-finals where the team faced Spain. In the match, with France trailing 3–2 in extra time, Pogba scored the equalizing goal three minutes prior to the match's completion to send it to penalties. However, despite Pogba converting the opening penalty for France, Les Bleuets were defeated 4–2.[94]
Due to the under-19 team's semi-final appearance in the 2012 UEFA European Under-19 Football Championship, the nation qualified for the 2013 FIFA U-20 World Cup, which merited under-20 team appearances for Pogba. Similar to the previous two seasons, Pogba was installed as captain by Mankowski and made his under-20 debut in a 0–0 draw against China.[95] In the team's next match against North Korea, Pogba scored the team's second goal in a 3–1 win.[96] Pogba was the captain of the team that won France's first ever FIFA U-20 World Cup. In that tournament held in Turkey, he played every minute of all of France's matches except for the final group match against Spain, in which he was an unused substitute. He was named the best player of the tournament.[97]
On 22 March 2013, Pogba made his debut for the French senior team in a 2014 World Cup qualifier against Georgia. He played the full 90 minutes in a 3–1 win.[98] Pogba then earned his second cap four days later in another 2014 World Cup qualifier against Spain. Pogba started this match against the world champions, but picked up a yellow card in the 76th minute for unsporting behaviour, before then being sent off two minutes later for a second bookable offence. He scored his first international goal against Belarus on 10 September 2013, once again during a 2014 World Cup qualifier.
On 6 June 2014, Pogba was named in France's squad for the 2014 FIFA World Cup.[99] On 15 June, he started in central midfield in the team's first World Cup fixture – a 3–0 victory over Honduras – suffering a foul from Wilson Palacios which led to a red card for the Honduran and a penalty kick, which was converted by Karim Benzema to give France the lead.[100] He appeared as a substitute in the team's second match, assisting a goal for Benzema in a 5–2 victory of Switzerland.[101] In the round of 16, Pogba scored a 79th minute opening goal and was named man of the match by FIFA[102] as Les Bleus defeated Nigeria 2–0 in Brasília.[103]
On 13 July, Pogba was named the tournament's Best Young Player.[104]

Toilet Renovation Nearing it finishing
The new floor tiles, new basin and toilet bowl are pretty much done and ready to use, but the only that are costing the most problem for the using of the toilet is that it lack of a door.
If you don't mind then maybe yes, but only on Monday will the new door be coming over and fit in. So now, I just have to paint the water pipe to make it freshly new.
My mother did the first coat but I still need to fill in some part and do the second coating. At first the pipe was dirty due to the renovation and there are many dirt from some more hacking off and stuffs.
From what I seen, with my family, we do give the thumbs up for the nice work and good for the one who done the works.
Do felt bad about all the noise for the neighbor which some of the work did drag till over 5 in the afternoon. But since the works are nicely done, they do get our praise. They at first afraid of us if we are picky, but are happy that we give them the freedom to do the work as long as they are nicely done.
They did a good job, just that the ducts was way too much and unexpected for us. Well, after Monday when the door is fixed, then we will do another round of house cleaning.
The work process sure take many days, like hacking off the old floor tile take one day. Filling in the water proof screed to prevent water leakage to the lower floor, and waiting for it to dry up which also take another one more day.
After the water screed had dried, now it time for the floor tile to be put in place and clement of course.
Not an easy work as some tile are need to be measure first like the circle or curve part before placing all into place. Then after placing them in, some white clement mixture is to be put into the gap between each tile.
Overall, the old wall tiles seem out of place as it seem old. Have to use some white mixture to fill in the gap of each old wall tile.
Well, it look better than before.
The floor is sure nicely done which seem to make the pipe look old and worn out. Look like some cleaning and a fresh coat of paint was needed. Today did the first coating and the second will be done tomorrow. Do need to make sure the toilet have it freshly feel.
By the way, the floor tile is rough, so it good for use since it will be now harder to get slip or fell.
The doorless Toilet, do you dare to use it?
I certainly don't have that courage to show my sexy body to anyone.
Well, will wait till Monday to see how it will go, so check back if you're interested to know. I do wonder it how it will go myself.

Gael GarcÃa Bernal and Mia Maestro have been cast in Pablo Aguero's new historical film.
Operating under the working title Evita, the Argentine director's movie will focus on the aftermath of First Lady Eva Peron's death.
Bernal will play naval officer Emilio Eduardo Massera, a key figure in the Argentinian junta that oversaw the deaths and disappearances in the '70s and '80s, reports Variety.
Maestro will portray Peron in the film.
The story centres around the fate of Peron's embalmed corpse, which went unburied for 25 years while her nation suffered through the dark years of the regime.
"In this film, I want to show what Evita generated, a massive revolt against the injustices of capitalism, followed by a repression that was disproportionate, brutal and yet unsuccessful in shutting her voice forever," said Aguerro.
Bernal was most recently seen in Chilean political drama No, Maestro played Carmen in the Twilight Saga and also featured in Savages and Frida.
Watch the trailer for No below:

Every single time I order something online and that particular company decides to ship with UPS my merchandise is left on the side of the road and I have to call a family member to go to my house to grab the package before it gets stolen. The driver ALWAYS says that the package was left at the front door.
They are to lazy to just walk 30 seconds out of there way to actually come knock on the door. The latest package WAS stolen and now I am having to try and convince the company I ordered from that just because the driver says he left it at the front door, it doesnt really mean he did. I wish I didn't have to use them but when you shop online you usually don't get to pick what company ships your items.
Do NOT use UPS if you do not have to!!

This overview of Garcinia will show you exactly why it works, when you need to take these pills, and what you can expect.
Garcinia Cambogia Pills
Garcinia Cambogia Pills that are extracted from the rind of Garcinia for, a product that has been used in Indonesia for centuries.

SM Entertainment's five member male group, SHINee celebrated their third year anniversary as artists in the K-Pop Music Industry. These five young men, who debuted as a unit on the 25th of May 2008, commemorated their third year – a big of an achievement for any idol group/idol. Despite the wave of new groups debuting for the past two years, SHINee has managed to maintain their position as one of the best groups there is today. It seems to me that resilience and perseverance are what SMTown idols learn during their trainee years – the mindset of a focused person is embedded into the artists, SHINee included.
Their debut song Noona Neomu Yeppeo (Noona You're so Pretty) or known better as Replay captured a lot of female hearts and garnered SHINee a good fanbase of women young and old (of course there are fanboys), which caused them to be quite the buzz. That is understandable, as apart from their melodious voices and swoon-worthy lyrics, these five young men have the good looks and personalities to back them up.
As it is when an artist/group is to be boosted into popularity, they are given a show – reality, variety, whatever – to help them. SHINee had Yunhanam – a show fit for their debut song. This show was for them to date noonas – girls older than them; the girls would pick the best member and have a date at their location of choice and activity of choice. SHINee's personalities as to how they approach and react towards women surfaced, which caused fans to become more affectionate towards the teenagers who've yet to understand dating. In one instance, the youngest, Taemin who was then 14, preferred that he be pushed on the swing by the noona, insted of the other way around.
After Replay, SHINee released more MVs and songs to boost up their popularity even more. Love Like Oxygen piqued the interests of fans, with SHINee's color code outfits – a color assigned to each member. The MV also featured SHINee's refined features, showing that they were growing not only in the music, but in stature and appearance. Then came A.Mi.Go, where rapper Minho was the lead in the MV's storyline; chasing a girl who 'took' his heart. The song title is shortened for a Korean saying Areumdaun Minyeoreul Joahamyeon Gosaenghanda which means "If you love a beautiful girl, you will suffer." True enough, the lyrics stand for that, and SHINee's charisma emanated in this strong song.
By May of 2009, SHINee was ready to release their new concept and mini-album entitled Romeo, with the title track being Juliette.Their concept for this was just like in Shakespeare's piece; the boys wore modern-day versions of masquerade masks, and colorful outfits. The MV featured So Nyeo Shi Dae's Jessica's younger sister Krystal (who was to debut later that year under SMEnt. in group f(x)). The choreography garnered much attention for its complicated dance steps and the synchronization of SHINee who pulled it off smoothly. During promotions, it was quite a treat to anticipate their outfits, which radiated bright colors and out-of-this-world ideas.
Juliette continued to rocket SHINee onto the music charts, thereby winning on Music Bank and various other shows. One of their tracks, Please Don't Go or Jamkkodae/Sleeptalking was a hit, as this was not only a duet by power vocals Onew and JongHyun, but the alluring harmony and message of the song was delivered well. During this time, labelmates and seniors in the industry So Nyeo Shi Dae (Girls' Generation) were simultaneously promoting Tell Me Your Wish/Genie. This led to performances of SHINee featuring Girls' Generation members. Fans were split in reactions, others favoring this, others disliking (out of jealousy) and others, quite indifferent. Whatever the matter, SHINee continued and ended their Juliette promotions on a good note.
Following a short rest, SHINee came back with a darker concept through the song Ring Ding Dong for the mini-album 2009, Year of Us (Y.O.U.) Ring Ding Dong had a lot of autotune in it, which was quite a disappointment, as SHINee's vocals are good enough without thesyths. Their promotions were disrupted when the members caught Swine Flu, and the other members had to fill in for the sick members – once even featuring Super Junior's Yesung. The concept for Ring Ding Dong had a grunge feel to it, with the members clad in black, red and gray outfits. They accustomed themselves to the
dark feel of the MV, with their noticeable change appearance-wise. Although not to be absorbed in the dark concept, SHINee – around this time – were to do Hello Baby. After labelmates Girls' Generation, it was their turn to take care of a young boy, a toddler named Yoogeun. The five SHINee members had to learn how to be fathers. Their affection towards the toddler received positive responses from the fans, and when the show came to a close, fans sympathized with SHINee having to part with Yoogeun.
Not long after, SHINee came back again strong, with Lucifer, a full album, with the title track bearing the same name. More mature than ever, SHINee's darker concept for Lucifer stunned fans – with their appearances as well as the songs. The songs were intrigued, as many were "bought" so to speak, that they called it plagiarism, which was not. This album also did not feature much of the powerful and harmonious vocals of SHINee, but this time catered to what seemed appropriate at that time – dance songs, autotune and whatnot. Hwasal(arrow)/Quasimodo was a good ballad off the track, which featured Minho's vocal prowess and potential. In terms of appearance, Key had the most intriguing concept look, with one side of his hair seemingly shaved – although it was dyed blonde, with his hair swept down to one side. Taemin garnered even more fans for his look, layered orange hair that made him look like a very beautiful girl – yet this look made him even more appealing, charismatic and less of the baby image. When SHINee then released a repacked album for Lucifer entitled Hello, which added three tracks to Lucifer, they began promoting the song Hello, which was a far cry from Lucifer. It was a bubbly, boys-next-door, sweet image concept, where you would fall in love with the boys and their gentlemanly demeanor. Yet in the midst of promotions and overseas fan meetings, an incident halted their promotions when JongHyun injured his ankle after an overseas fanmeet/performance. Although he was checked to be just fine, they later found out that it was more serious than expected. Promotions for Hello continued, but with the members seated on stools, swaying to the beat instead of dancing freely.
Another unexpected event was when it was publicly announced that JongHyun and actress Shin Se Kyung were dating (for a month during that time). This caused chaos amongst Shawols and caused JongHyun fancafes to either shut down or turn into Se Kyung hate sties. This went on for a while, causing distraught to JongHyun and the other members. They ended Hello promotions and JongHyun recieved surgery. SHINee announced thereafter that they would hold their first ever solo concert, in Seoul and in Japan. Both concerts were a success, with JongHyun singing but not totally dancing.
SM Entertainment-who, along with other companies, see Japan as a potential goldmine for their artists- led SHINee onto the boat of Korean artists debuting in Japan. Alongside senior labelmates Super Junior and Girls' Generation, SHINee has laid down their cornerstone. Just this month they have released the audio tracks for Hello and Replay in Japanese. This morning (27th May 2011) SHINee's Japanese PV (Promotional Video) for Replay has been released and is now a hot topic, circulating in many sites.
From young teenagers to budding young men, these five shining stars continue to etch themselves into the hearts of fans, gaining more and more love and support. SHINee continues to display their talents through their promotions and the three year mark paves the way for more to come. SHINee will always be the bright and sparkling group that receives light from the fans, thereby illuminating them even more. Let's not forget to Replay all the struggles and victories they've gone through, and three cheers to more of SHINee.

Every once in a while, I hear a song that just clicks and for the next few days or weeks (I never know how long it will be), I will listen to it almost alllll the time! When I'm free, when I'm busy and humming the song, when I'm working, when I'm brushing my teeth, etc etc etc.
So I thought, why don't I share those songs with you; maybe you will like it as much as I do. Here is this the first of – hopefully many – such playlists. Enjoy 🙂
Also, just wanted to say thank you to Miss Caly for posting her Happy Songs Playlist which inspired this post. 🙂
Hope you're looking forward to the next in the series 🙂 Did you like my art work? Let me know what you think of this playlist in the comments section!

Hudson County Sheriff Juan Perez announced the inception of the PROJECT LIFESAVER program which will assist families and caregivers of individuals suffering from Alzheimer's disease or a related dementia disorder as well as families of children suffering from Down syndrome, autism, traumatic brain injuries or cognitive disorders.
This project will allow for a proactive response by the sheriff's office and save precious time if and when a loved one wanders away from home and becomes lost or confused.
The participant in PROJECT LIFESAVER will wear a special wrist bracelet equipped with a small transmitter which emits a signal that law enforcement can track when someone goes missing. Search times have been reduced from days and hours to minutes.
There is no charge for this program. The only cost involved would be for the necessary change of the battery in the transmitter as needed. Any interested parties are asked to contact the Hudson County Sheriff's Office, Community Relations Unit at (201) 217-5226 where additional information can be obtained.

Hello... hello milky
It's my dream to one day be featured on the front page of etsy. Of course, that would involve me investing a little more time in the spoonful of colour shop (and maybe even having just a little more talent). You see it's products like these beautiful, handprinted cushion and cot covers by Hello Milky that make it to the front page. Designed and made in Melbourne by young mum and design student Jess these are my idea of perfect for a baby's room. Yep, I obviously have some work to do.
PS. I also love Jess's blog and the name Hello Milky (it's what I've called both my babies as they've been drinking their milk).

Nightcliff Community Enterprises Limited (NCEL) Annual reports are the Financial reports of the company which operates the Nightcliff Community Bank® branch of the Bendigo Bank as a franchise of Bendigo Bank.
Full Reports for the past four years are available here as PDF files, the 2017 Chair and Managers reports are printed below for convenience.
Chairmans Report
Nightcliff Community Bank® Branch has continued the growth of previous years during the 2016/17 financial year,
even as Darwin has continued to struggle with changes to the local economy.
This has been achieved by a determined effort to continue engaging with the local community, building on the fact
that the Community Bank® branch is indeed an active part of that community just like other local business. By playing an active, contributing role in regular local activities such as the SeaBreeze Festival, The Malak Markets, fundraising events and school activities the board and staff ensure the original vision of a Community Bank® branch is maintained.
Pleasingly the branch has continued to provide financial support to community events and groups including;
• NT Rugby Union • Darwin Trailer Boat Club
• Alzheimer's Australia NT • Tactile Arts
• Darwin Men's Shed • NT Hockey Association
• Nightcliff Cricket Club • Master AFL Football
• Seabreeze Festival • Lakeside Community Garden.
• Australian Volunteer Coastguard • Hunger Walk
• Jingili BMX Club • Malak Marketplace
The day-to-day service provided by the branch staff is critical to this success too. Our customers also see that the
branch staff are very connected members of the community who do care and provide far more than just a 9.00am to
5.00pm banking service.
On behalf of the Board and shareholders I do particularly thank our current branch team, Jeff, Lyn, Kay and Shannan for their contribution and dedication. As in the broader community, technology is changing the banking industry and we are fortunate to have a team that has the skills, determination and flexibility to master and implement these changes to ensure the continued success of the branch.
This success has meant that as well as providing support to our local community, we were also able to pay another
dividend of 3c per share to Nightcliff Community Enterprises Limited shareholders.
Of course the Community Bank® branch is only possible because of the progressive policies of the Bendigo Bank
and we do especially thank the people we work with closely. In particular Regional Manager, John Grotenhuis during
his time in Darwin and Paul Palcini who has provided great support in the Business Banking sector. We welcome and
congratulate Rachel Fidler who has worked with our team during her time in the Smith Street branch and we look
forward to working with her in her new role as Regional Manager.
Nightcliff Community Bank® Branch looks forward to another successful year going forward in our partnership with
Bendigo Bank to provide support for our community.
Jim McDougall
Branch Managers report
It is my pleasure to once again reflect on the past 12 months of our business achievements.
Over the past year we have seen our business growth maintained in a very competitive home, commercial and deposit taking market. Net Business growth on our book was $8.38 million.
In reporting business growth we remind ourselves that our core focus has and always will be the local community with our branch once again supporting many activities with sponsorship support or direct staff involvement.
In the 2016/17 reporting period, the business provided sponsorship exceeding $33,957 in support to the community
from the Nightcliff Community Bank® Branch.
To mention some of the highlights for the year:-
• Involvement with the Darwin Trailer Boat Club Bluewater Classic, the only fishing competition in Australia that has a program in that all fish caught are donated to Foodbank NT to support those in need.
• Our continuing involvement and sponsorship of the Seabreeze Festival.
• Our support provided to the Project 21 group with the donation of a new vehicle to assist their Cans for Cash
Our forecast for the next 12 months projects continued growth within our market that we believe has further
opportunities for our business.
As our community and people grow within the area we believe our business strengths and values will be at the forefront of their banking choices.
Finally, my staff and I would again personally like to thank you, our shareholders and customers, for your support of our business for the last 12 months.
Jeff Watson
Branch Manager

Some of the support projects undertaken by the four NT Community Banks are listed below.
You can help develop more community support simply by using the services provided by your local Bendigo Bank Community branch.

2. The downstairs bathroom reno is almost complete. After two weeks of work and two season of the Vampire Diaries (which I have to admit, I loved- does anyone else watch this??). Hopefully I'll be able to post some pictures later this week of a completed project. Here is a hint as to why it has taken me so long to finish:

As of today, it has lived up to it's reputation of being indestructible. We shall see if it lasts another week!

Print Document Version
I have a layout that will be updated frequently, and subsequently distributed with a new version indicator. Version A, B, C, etc. Is there a way that I can script this to automatically add this version number prior to printing (like I do with a page numbering script to indicate page x of y)? Or is this something that I need to manually modify within the layout each time prior to printing. Many thanks.

My side of the table, as usual, had the benefit of bright colors. In a sea of comic book portfolios and sketches (mostly black and white), my giddy crafts stand out. So they caught a lot of eyeballs. This show, I had 2 offers: my dot paintings and my peg people. Both were very well received, I am grateful to announce! By Sunday afternoon, I was packing up nearly empty houses and had sold almost everything that I brought (sorry to everyone who asked, the houses aren't for sale).It was amazing -- THANK YOU to all the good people who came by and took some of this stuff home for me!!
One of my display techniques was to use this cupcake, to demonstrate what-in-the-world-would-I-do-with-a-peg-person (hint: a cake topper!). This was a store-bought cupcake that had gone stale and then I coated it with acrylic gloss, so it was shiny and solid. Unfortunately, it was lost/stolen after the show closed on Friday night. My table neighbors were more upset than I was -- I just hope no one tried to eat it! But no matter, I have a more permanent version coming soon. This was just a quick-and-dirty way to show how the peg people could be used. And it served its purpose, so... bon voyage little cupcake!
One of the fan-favorite items was the tiny mailbox with tiny business cards. I have to admit, I'm pretty fond of it too. :)
I also sold some of the blank peg people (seen in the above pictures in a bowl and on the table) so that convention-goers could try their own hand at creating a masterpiece. I figured that the kids would think it was a great idea, but I was surprised at how many adults were buying them -- inspired by what they saw and chock-full of ideas of their own! The kids mostly wanted what was already painted, although there were a few kids who were determined that they could (and would!) do better than what I had. Every one of them said they'd email me a picture - and I hope they do!
I also was honored to be asked to contribute to someone's sketch book (full of awesome art from all the Cool People there) and I felt terrible that I CANNOT DRAW so I scribbled a peg-person form of me and Ryan (dorky) and the girl asked if maybe I could add something with dots. Well, markers don't really give the same effect, so I painted an artist trading card (ATC) made of canvas with Spider-Man for her to stick in her book instead.
Along the way, my table was photographed several times, including by the OC Weekly, the LA Weekly, a handful of blogs, and I did a video interview with the Daily 49er (Cal State Long Beach's news). So that was all really cool!
Plus, I'm waiting for the photos to roll in. I'm having a contest asking folks to submit pictures of their giddy girlie art to win $20! I've gotten a few so far, but there is still time to submit!
Oh! And we also saw a skateboarding shrimp!
And then were driving behind this... a sentinel from X Men. You're welcome.

I came across a Camo pendant last year, that is just my taste, sadly it did not come with the backing of a pin so I am going to make it a choker for my Halloween costume so I added the loop on it in the 2nd picture
Step 1 ~ Tools & Materials
Scissors, Measuring Tape, sewing Thread & needles,
Ribbon (size depends on the size of your loop, mine I think was around an inch give or take) Lace, or something solid with a ruffle (like what I picked out)
& Ribbon Ends also you will need some form of pliers. I used my 3-in-1 tool (use one that does not have any grooves in it)
Step 2
fold one of the ends & sew it as it is a bit difficult to hold it in a fold & put the Ribbon end over it and be sure its all the way in and then clamp it shut. Sewing it will also help keep the ends from fraying alot
Step 3
making sure you have the ribbon all the way in the Ribbon end, use your pliers and Clamp the ribbon end on
Step 4
You are finished with the hard part…
Step 5
now just need some sort of clasp, (which I had to wait til I went to Joanns or Michaels for. For the best look, being as this is victorian style something with a filigree is best.
Well surprisingly michaels didn't have it, but for once Janne's actually had something I was looking for.
The You put the hook through, then straighten out and push into the 'clasp'

Fishing is a timeless sport that appeals to many different people for many different reasons. Some people consider fishing a sport that requires much patience and dedication. Others believe it's a hobby meant for relaxation. Still, others use fishing as their main food source. No matter how you perceive fishing, here's some information on how you can start.
A good tip for bottom fishing using shad is to cut the tail off of your bait before you place it on the hook. This keeps the baited fish from spinning and winding around your fishing line as it sinks to the bottom, helping you prevent a tangled line. Fish will be more attracted to the scent of the cut bait.
The most important fishing tip you can get is "be patient". Fishing requires perseverance and time, since a lot of your day is sitting around for long periods without getting a single bite. Don't get frustrated; you'll just end up angry and annoyed with yourself and not catch any fish.
To do well catching fish, you must start out with sharp hooks. If the hook can scratch your fingernail lightly when you drag it across, then it is sharp enough. If your hook does not pass this scratch test, then sharpen or replace it in order to be successful at catching any fish.
If you are a fishing novice, your best bet is to go bass fishing. Bass can be easier to lure than other types of fish. The struggle of reeling one in makes fishing exciting for everyone.
Sinkers are an excellent choice when fishing in the winter. Using sinkers weighs down your line, letting the bait sink deep into the less-frigid water where fish hide out during the winter. The weight of sinkers on your fishing line will depend on the depth of water.
Bass can be caught with grubs. They're really small lures that can catch big fish. They have been proven to work when fishing for smallmouth bass, but largemouth mass enjoy them as well. If you are fishing in certain highland reservoirs with little coverage, grubs are a good choice for bait.
Know which way the fish are migrating to determine in what direction you should cast. When fishing during the springtime, for example, casting uphill will allow you to position your lure ahead of your prey. Fishing downhill works best in the fall when fish are returning.
If you want bigger fish, think about using bigger bait. Although larger bait costs more, it may help you make a bigger catch. The bigger the fish is, the bigger the food they're going to want to eat.
Grubs are a great bait for catching bass. These little guys can help you reel in some very large fish. They can even be used to catch both small and largemouth bass. They work well when fishing in highland reservoirs where there is not a lot of coverage.
If your fishing trip includes deep-sea fishing, pack some anti-seasickness pills. There are few things more horrible than being stuck on a ship, far from shore, with a stomach that is churning more than the turbulent waves of the ocean. Items that prevent sea sickness will ensure that your trip is much more enjoyable.
You should wet your hands prior to handling a fish. Doing this helps to avoid drying the fish out. If you need to release your catch into the water, this is even more true.
Never panic no matter how big the fish you've caught! A large fish will likely put up a fight, so do not reel it in too quickly or you risk breaking your rod. Set your drag to allow the fish to tire itself out so you can reel it in gently.
There are clear signs of fish in the area that you can look out for when you go on a deep sea fishing trip. You could see floating wood or debris. This may be an indicator that large game fish are nearby. In addition, if you see seagulls consuming small fish, there is a good chance that large fish are just below the water's surface.
The key to bringing a fish in is to follow its movement. The jumps will become less energetic until the fish rolls over on its side. This decreased movement indicates that your catch is becoming tired, making it the ideal time to begin reeling it in. Avoid reeling in until you observe the fish roll over sideways.
Look at the tint of the water and see how it blends with your bait. You want to use bait that these fish are going to see. Brightly-colored bait is ideal for murky water. When the water is clear, use darker colors that are deep which will not blend into their surroundings.
If you know how to tie a few basic knots, it will help a lot while fishing. If you tie a good knot, your hook will be sure to stay attached to the line when a fish pulls on it, and it will assist you in changing your equipment when you need to. As time goes on, you will find it easier to tie knots quickly and easily.
If you want to change up your fishing routine and experience something different, try night fishing. You'll need a headlamp to see. Also be sure to keep your boat lights on. The fish you will catch at night might be drastically different from the fish you catch during the day.
Make sure that you have patience when you go fishing. Even though it may seem like common sense, many people give up too easily if they do not catch a fish in the first 30 minutes. Patience and time are needed when fishing.
Fishing trips can be made easier by taking the time to learn some easy knots. Knowing how to tie a good knot will keep your hook securely on your line after you hook a fish and will allow you to easily change your gear, as needed. With some practice you'll be able to change your gear fast and tie great knots.
If you are fishing in an unfamiliar area, ask local fishermen what techniques they have found that are effective in catching fish in the area. There are times when some methods work better than others, and most fishermen will usually be happy to share what they have done to land that big catch.
Know the size of fish you are hoping to catch, and increase your bait size accordingly. It should come as no surprise that larger fish like large bait and smaller fish can be caught with small bait. Two excellent baits to use to catch bigger fish like Pike and Muskie are Crappie and Blugill.
Don't pollute while you fish! Trash hurts the habitat of the fish, as well as harming the environment. Pack out what you bring in to keep these waters pristine and natural.
Using lures is usually preferable when it comes to bass fishing. Choose which lure you use based on the variables of your fishing situation. Different times of day require different lures. In addition, different parts of the water may be more effective. Different lures have different purposes. It can often take several attempts before landing on the optimal lure.
When fishing for bass, the critical thing is the lure. Many factors come into play when choosing a lure. During various times and different water areas, you'll need to use different lures. Every lure is intended for a different purpose. Time, along with a little trial and error, will be required for you to find the right lure.
If you aren't having too much luck when you fish, then you might want to switch things up, like the color bait you're using. Some fish are attracted to duller colors, while other are attracted to brighter colors. So, think ahead when you supply your tackle box, and be sure to pack in a rainbow of colors.
It is very important that you stay hydrated while you fish. Make sure to have lots of water around, and drink it throughout the day whether you feel thirsty or not. When you're dehydrated you can become sloppy and it can even hurt your fishing abilities, you might even get light headed and fall off of your boat. Staying hydrated will help protect you from drowning.
When fishing, always be considerate to others and avoid littering. Fish aren't attracted to littered areas in the water. This will decrease the chance of you, or anyone else, catching fish.
You should know how to clean fish before you catch them. In order to do this, you must have a cutting table and a small knife. Going all the way from head to tail, make an incision in the fish's belly. Slice off the head, and as you pull in the opposite direction, the internal organs will come out easily. This will give you a cleaned out and ready to be boned fish.
It is important that you stay well hydrated when you are fishing. Regardless of whether or not you feel thirsty, sip on water throughout the day. You may find yourself falling out of the boat as dizziness sneaks up on you due to dehydration. Oddly enough, sufficient water can therefore help stave off accidental drowning.
No bait works with all fish all of the time. Therefore, to achieve the best results, it is important to know how and when to use each type of bait. For instance, if the water is somewhat murky, the motion of a jig is more apt to attract fish swimming by. Alternately, plastic worms are best used in clear water so fish can see them without the fisherman having to utilize unnatural motion.
Make sure you take the time to educate yourself on cleaning a fish the right way. Start out by grabbing a scale removal tool, a mid-sized cutting board, and a small, sharp knife. Using the knife, cut a small incision onto the belly, which will go all the way across the fish. Cut the head and pull it while pulling the organs in the other direction. Your fish will be open and cleaned.
Be sure that you bring along a hearty lunch with you when you go fishing. Although fishing is usually relaxing, you can also become tired, so you will require energy. Consider including snacks with lots of protein that you can eat during the day. Make sure to eat a good lunch before you think about eating what you have caught.
If you are bringing a child along on a fishing expedition, make sure you put safety first. Teach them the proper way to bait a hook before letting them try it themselves. Explain how dangerous it is, and have them observe you as you do it yourself.
When you go fishing you want to mix things up, you don't want to fish at the same place constantly. While a particular spot may have been lucky in the past, that does not mean it will remain lucky in the future.
Determine whether or not a fishing permit will be required for your fishing trip. Many locations require you to obtain a license for fishing and have regulations about size and quantities. Protect nature and avoid fines by knowing and following all the rules.
Your new-found fishing knowledge may have allowed fishing to have a meaning in your heart. Are you fishing for sport? Or how about your means of food or relaxation? No matter how you answer this question, the advice you just read should make it much easier for you to enjoy fishing.
Sunscreen is one of the most important things to remember when you go fishing. Not only does the sun hit you from above, but it also reflects off the water, making the effect even more intense. Protect your skin from cancer by using an SPF 15 product and reapplying hourly.

Tutto iniziò con un viaggio nel Giappone degli spaghetti alle vongole. Le famose proprietà psicotrope dell'aglio nipponico proiettarono i due nostri in un Paese delle Meraviglie che avrebbe incuriosito tanto Alice che Castaneda…
Update 04/09/09
Oops! I always forgot to update this page.
Well, now we are 30 years old (oh my! when we started the blog we were 25!) we live together (but this is not a news) and unfortunately we live in Italy (I have a lot of problems with my country lately, that's why I say unfortunately and I often think we should go away sooner or later). We still think about Japan and we wish we could go there soon and visit our friends.
I got a job, I quite like it but I prefer to knit and travel… What a surprise! I have to admit is not a bad job and it's quite interesting and sometime I have to travel to Luxembourg as the headqurters is there.
Dido is still trying to find a good job, and at the moment just a job as he doesn't have one at all.
Lately he hasn't been writing, I kind of transformed this blog in my own world with a lot of knitting, sewing (hopefully soon) and other things I like. He wrote a lot in the past about politics and I think people who read the blog liked it but I don't feel like going on about this topic, as I said I have problems with Italy and I prefer not to think about them, trying not to explode and run away.
So I guess it's pretty much enough at the moment.

There were even more rare times when Mom would make potato gnocchi. Later on in life when Mom was in her 80s she showed me how to make them, teaching me the technique that her mother taught her. I had seen the fork technique on TV cooking shows, where you roll a nugget of dough down the back of a dinner fork to make ridges in each dumpling... the ridges help sauce cling. But them Mom showed me what her mother used to do. A simple technique of using two fingers to quickly roll the nugget to form a cavatelli shape. Press the nugget of dough down and give a quick jerk, cupping your hand toward you, flipping the cavatelli backwards. I still remember her bumpy, arthritic fingers working with a remembered agility as she made them twice as fast as I could. It's times like that which remind me to always include Lucas when making special meals based on family traditions.
You can use any type of flour to make pasta, but I'd stay away from bread flour. All-purpose, Italian style "00" flour makes a silky, delicate pasta while Semolina flour makes a heartier more textured pasta.
What I prefer using is ready mixed flour blends specially made for pasta making. I like Hodgsen Mill Golden Semolina and Extra Fancy Durham Pasta Flour but King Arthur Italian-Style Flour is another great choice (it's not available in supermarkets, though). King Arthur is a blend of Durham, Semolina and All-Purpose flours.
Next you have to consider whether to add egg yolks, whole eggs, egg whites or just water. Pasta recipes using just water are typically used only when making pasta that will be dried, like from an extrusion pasta die on a pasta-making machine. When you make fresh pasta with only water, it comes out very bland, white and can be very sticky. You can also use recipes that use only egg yolks, which makes a very golden colored rich pasta--but higher than normal in cholesterol and fat. Some mix whole eggs with additional egg yolks--2 egg yolks for each egg used. When you use only egg whites (which are mostly H2O) your pasta will come out almost like if you used water alone. For me, I've gotten great results using just beaten whole eggs--rich enough without adding extra cholesterol or fat. Why complicate things?
You mix the ingredients in a "well", by placing the flour on a board and adding the wet ingredients into the center of a well you make in the flour. This is hand work. However, I do recommend getting some sort of pasta roller to roll out your pasta into thin sheets ready for shaping. Sure, you can use a rolling pin if you want, but having a motorized roller that you can set the thickness as you work gives you absolute control. We use a Kitchenaid stand mixer with a pasta rolling attachment.
- First, pour 2-1/3 cups of pasta flour onto a clean work surface. Make a well about 4 inches across in the center of the flour, being careful to leave flour at the bottom of the well.
- Next, beat 2 eggs in a small bowl with 3/4 teaspoon salt and pour into the well.
- Using a fork, start to bring in some flour into the wet mixture--little by little. Try not to break the wall of the well at the beginning or you might have a leak. Keep bringing in more and more flour--it will look sticky and then slowly form into a single shaggy mass.
- Depending on the humidity of the day, you might not use all of the flour. If the mass seems too wet and sticky, incorporate a little more flour. If the mass seems very dry, you can use a small spray bottle to mist a bit of water over the dough and then rework it with your hands until the water is incorporated. It will form into a rough shaggy ball as you begin to work it. If it sticks to your hands use a scraper to get the dough off your hands and back into the dough ball. You might want to use the bench scraper to help scrape up and incorporate the flour into the dough.
- Start kneading the rough dough ball by pressing the heel of your hand and pushing away from you as you fold over the dough onto itself. Turn the dough a quarter turn then knead again. Keep kneading like this for at least 4-6 minutes... 10 minutes is better but takes a lot of strength and stamina. The ball will look much smoother after a little while. If you give the pasta a rest for a minute or two (and yourself) the kneading will be a bit easier as you continue. Don't go beyond 10 minutes or your dough might start to dry out.
- Cover the ball of dough with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for about 1 hour to rest.
- When you take out the dough, unwrap and then cut into three equal pieces. Roll each into a ball and keep them wrapped until you are ready to form your pasta sheets. Rest these about five minutes before running through the pasta roller.
- Place your pasta attachment onto your Kitchenaid (or get your manual pasta machine clamped tight onto the edge of your counter) and place the roller on #1 (the widest setting). Make sure you have a large work area clear to handle laying out the pasta sheets for cutting out shapes or prepping for ravioli.
- Get out two large sheet pans and place a coating of flour evenly over the surface of each... perhaps 1-1/2 cups each. (You can also use corn meal or semolina). You will be placing your finished pasta shapes onto these pans for drying. You can also dry long pastas like tagliatelle or fettuccine by hanging on wooden pasta racks, broomsticks set across two chair backs or something similar. I like making sure my pasta is well dusted with flour and place them into "nest" clusters on the floured sheet pans.
- Now, take a ball of your pasta dough and form into a long rectangle, about the size of a large deck of cards--a bit less than 1/2" thick. Turn on the pasta machine/attachment and place the short end of your pasta "deck" into the rollers. Support the sheet as it comes out of the back end of the roller. I like to run the pasta through each setting two times, then reset the roller to the next smallest number for another pass, and so on. I typically will run pasta down to a #5 or 6 thinness. It depends on how well the dough is behaving... pasta making is an organic thing. If it's rainy out, if there's high humidity (or low), if the past is too cold or two warm, if you work counter is hot or cold.... all these are factors in the way the dough will handle. As long as there are no extremes, your pasta should roll out fine. If not, just reshape it into a ball again and try running it through again. When your sheet is ready, place on a clean, flat surface ready for cutting into shapes...
As for drying, you can dry your pasta for bagged storage in a fridge (use within a few days) or freeze by allowing your shapes to dry out completely. You really have to be sure that your pasta is not at all damp or sticky and dusted very well (especially when arranging into bird's nests) or they will stick together. You can then arrange on sheet pans, place into your freezer, freeze and then place in Zip-loc bags for later use. I like making batches that are going to be cooked right away. "Fresh pasta"--Duh. For this reason, I'll tend to use only have my recipe for fresh cooking the same day, and I'll freeze the other half of the dough ball for future pasta making. This dough freezes and thaws perfectly.
