We arrived at the train station a bit early than scheduled time.
Everything was smooth sailing, so we just waited there for the train to depart to our final destination.
The high speed train arrived at the station around 11 am. I quite like to travel by train in Europe region, cause from my experience, they are punctual and comfortable enough.
The bottle caps that the boys have collected from the lakes side and Venice. They really treated those caps like their treasures.
They talked about the caps like we adults talked about investment and estate property...and they seem to have invented many ways to play with those caps.
I didn't have much interest to discuss their caps with them. Most of the time, I just looked out from the window or read the travelling book regarding the place we were about to go, Milano.
I felt particularly interested when I read the part about the world famous painting "The Last Supper" that put in Milan. In order to admire this painting, the visitors need to make reservation through the internet at least 1 month before departure. Husband said when he got to know about this, it's too late already. What a pity.
One little thingy...We couldn't get 4 seats together. Weird though, these 2 men had refused to change seats with us, though our seats were nothing inferior than the places they were sitting on.
For the whole journey that last for 2.5 hours, these 2 men talked none-stop, and they talked very loud as well. Even the boys who are normally noisy couldn't stand them. Anyway, it's good feeling that other passengers stared at them, but not to the boys.
We arrived at Milano train station at around 1.30 pm The first thing we wanted to do was to find the hotel and off load the luggage. We have no problem to find the hotel since it is just somewhere nearby the train station.
To our surprise, the hotel that we have booked is a very nice one, considering it only cost us €130 (inclusive buffet breakfast for 3, €12 for the additional child).
This room is actually meant for 3 person only because the sofa bed is not big enough for 2 person. Well, the way we see it, it's big enough for my 2 boys lo.
And we were surprised to see this super big wash room.
After taking a short rest in the room, we walked to a nearby MD for a simple lunch. Then, we took the metro and headed straight to the city center. Husband said we should pay a visit to cathedral in the city center.
Milan Cathedral (Italian : Duomo di Milano) is located in Lombardy. This Gothic cathedral had taken 5 centuries to be completed, and it's the 4th largest church in the world. Nevertheless, it is the largest Gothic cathedral and the 2nd largest Catholic cathedral in the world.
The roof line dissolves into openwork pinnacles that are punctuated by a grove of spires, topped with statues that overlook the city. The main spire is 109 meters high. So, this is definitely not a place for sky-diving.
Every where of the cathedral was crafted with statues, from top to roof, so no wonder it took 5 centuries to be completed.
Interior view of the Duomo di Milano. The way the paintings were hang instead of mounted on the wall is kind of special.
Also, it's quite bright inside the cathedral, really unlike the other churches which are normally dark or dim inside it. That makes this church less mysterious.
No doubt, this is a very beautiful church.
The choir window.
Detail of the choir window. I think it tells the story of Jesus Christ.
When I first saw this mother-and-son's statues, I just felt that they look very familiar. Then I realized I saw it in the Church of Residence, Germany, just last year.
16th-century statue of St. Bartholomew with his skin thrown over his shoulder like a cloak. According to tradition, he was martyred by being flayed alive.
After 30 minutes, we walked out from the cathedral and looked for the entrance to go to the rooftop.
In order to go up to the roof top, we can choose to walk up the stairs - which are solid, square, and more roomy than many cathedral stairways - or take an elevator for a higher price. We choosed the latter. Luckily, children are free admission.
The views are magnificent and the opportunity to see the pinnacles and sculptures close up is worth a visit to the top.
The huge building is made of brick faced with marble from the quarries that Gian Galeazzo Visconti donated in perpetuity to the cathedral chapter.
A view of the Piazza del Duomo, the city's main and most central square, flocked by several palaces and important buildings, such as Milan Cathedral, the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II and the Royal Palace of Milan.
Just when I was about to tell the boys to look down for the magnificent view, I saw this. Sigh, the irritating cycle has just started again. To save my breathe, I just pretended I didn't see all this. Normally, they will back to normal 5 or 10 min later.
The sun was extremely hot in that afternoon time, so we didn't stay too long up there.
One last look to the beautiful wall.
One last look to the beautiful wall.
After we get down from the roof top, we walked to the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II triumphal arch, located just next to the cathedral.
Anyway, this place has nothing too special to me, since I did't come here for shopping. Instead, I wanted to go to the fashion district at night time. After all, Milan is one of the famous fashion city in the world. It would be nice to take a look of the place.

The Tigress "turns left"
"Where will you go?"
"Out the Gate and hang a left…"
That's been the plan and the dream for a very long time. And that's what we did.
Beautiful San Francisco Bay put on a show, sparkling in the morning light just to make sure we'd know what we are missing. There was a big sloppy swell running off the coast – a bit of a bronco ride. Tigress took it in stride. The bilges and Elena's baking supplies are still dry. It seemed like any other daysail, except the dock box is empty and the mail forwarded.
After anchoring at Half Moon Bay we opened a special bottle of wine and toasted new adventures. And maybe a nap. We're anchored in a beautiful sheltered spot near the Maverick's surf spot and God's golf tee.
Tonight we'll decide where and when we go next, or we'll decide to decide another day.
We miss you already.

To say that the end of spring/beginning of summer is off to a hot start is an understatement. We hit a new average temperature record for the first week of June! Send all the shaved ice, sun hats, and sunscreen you can. ;)
As you can imagine, I've been living in linen. Last month, I picked up a couple of new linen tees from Everlane (referral link). I'm planning to share a review post with them soon, but in the meantime, here are my abridged thoughts: the scoopneck tee is softer than the box-cut tee shown here (could be related to the color; I got the scoopneck in grey), the scoopneck tee fits snugger than the box-cut tee, and they don't get unreasonably wrinkly after wearing them for a full day! I haven't washed either, so fingers crossed they hold up.
I absolutely adore their indigo linen pieces such as this tee. Of course, in typical fashion, I paired it with white shorts and navy sandals. Simple, clean, and cool (both literally and figuratively). ;) Spring isn't quite finished yet, though; I think we may have one more dip in temps before summer is here to stay!
Everlane tee / sold out; shop the full linen collection
Gap shorts / old; similar
Salt Water sandals / exact
Madewell earrings / similar
Moorea Seal sunglasses / old; similar by American Eagle Outfitters

How many jobs have you had?
After filling in job apps, I've realised I've had quite a lot of jobs, though only 3 full time ones so far. I reckon I've had about 8 - is this a lot for a 26 yr old?
Also best and worst moments in your working life:
Best - printing off some fake best before labels for donuts in somerfields, reducing them to clear at 10p, buying them at the end of the shift and eating tonnes of them in the car park.
Worst - Getting asked a question on air quality monitoring in front of about 200 people on an exercise and bungling my way through the answer. I think I went bright red. :s
Best - Lots of lols on Sundays at Budgens.
Worst - Probably every single Saturday at Budgens. Having to wake up at 5am, usually working flat out for nine hours without a break at £3.50 an hour... horrible.
£3.50 an hour?!
When was that?
About three/four years ago
They absolutely rape people because it's the only place 16-18-year-olds can really work in my town and so they'll work for anything. £3.50 included. I think the adults were on £4.50ph. So below the current minimum wage. It was crazy. But they were never short of staff.
I think my first job was about £3.65
but I was only 16.. I'm sure half of my year at school worked there though! That was about 10 years ago now.. I'm getting old!
I got paid £3 an hour for working in a shop
up until a year ago. :(
this is my first full-time job
it's been nearly 8 months now. i had a couple of shit part-time ones before but they hardly lasted 2 seconds.
five in total
but three of them have been for the same company.
I think I interview really well, I'm really good at preparing.
Best moment:
A recent audit on my department meant that I had to spend about seven hours going through my work from one end to the other and it was all 100% correct. I got mad props for that!
Worst moment:
When an error in a calculation I made meant that one of our installation team had to spend several hours digging peices of metal out of a skip in order to make the machine fit. He didn't get home until 2am.
I think I've got an interview for this place
you can help me prepare!
Your worst moment sounds quite funny.. did he get paid overtime?
Yeah, no worries!
No, he didn't get paid overtime and his wife and kids were not impressed :(
You're such a bastard.
Now write a song about it.
There is a skip in Warrington
They called the rising sun
and it's been the ruin of one poor man
All because of my bad sum
Yeah, that's where he was
As I slept soundly at home
lol at the best moment
i've had three proper jobs. which is probably a lot for a nineteen year old but who cares. my best moment was probably christmas eve at mvc just before it was about to close down, repricing everything willynilly.
worst moment was probably tagging and pricing four hundred copies of titanic at £2.97. shudder. there are probably worse and better times but i'm nostalgic for mvc now.
I used to love MVC
there was some good stuff in the sales, and they had a good range of dvds.
The titanic stuff sounds soul destroying though! Did you get to put all 400 copies on the shelves at the same time? You could have made a small model of a boat with them maybe..
2 jobs
each in a different pr company.
best: at the music pr company talking everyday about bands with a boy who was clearly in awe of my 'knowledge' (he was a bit thick...cute...but thick..)
worst: in another pr company, calling up stupid sports magazines and asking for back issues allll fucking day. i quit and got paid zilch.
literally zilch
actually no! they gave me 20 quid boots voucher.
now i think about that, WTF
meh. i was there for a day and my parents knew the lady so.
i am rubbish.
probably not.
those aren't jobs!
if we're counting work experience and part-time type stuff then i've had six jobs.
Best: POWER CUTS!
Worst: Presenting boring budget stuff to surly marketeers and sweating profusely.
when I worked in a petrol station I was able to steal porn.
I'm unsure.
I've done the same thing in different places (as in, managed pubs in the same chain in different cities). Are they one job or different jobs? And can I count being a paperboy?
Paperboy counts
I think different rounds count if it's for a different paper. I put my name down for a paper round when I was about 13- by the time they got back to me I was about to leave for uni..
haha supermarket jobs are great
I've had about 4 jobs, 2 full time.
Best was Capital One- free stuff, sweets, free Forest tickets, massage chairs- it was basically like the inside of a big cruise ship or something for 5 months!
worst was working in Morrisons and having to get up at 6am to cycle a few miles to serve/gut/clean/scale fish. On a Sunday sometimes as well..
2 of my jobs have been as a fishmonger...
The £10,000 wasn't 'resting'
in your account was it?
going on 4 full time jobs
on top of those, i'd say i've had about 9/10.
so, about 13 altogether i spose!!!
About ten
BEST: A ten minute walk from home working for £22p/h on contract so could have any time off and do as many hours as need be.
WORST: A shitty pub in Brighton full of louts from London down for the weekend.
ive had a bout 20 jobs
best moment - being offered a promotion to assistant manager at a restaurant.
worst moment - from my first day as assistant manager onwards.
1 paper boy
3 telephone canvasser
3 administrative officer
4 executive officer
5 book seller
i've had a fair few for 19..
1. potwash at a pub
2. Somerfields
3. telesales at Venture Portraits
4. head of Literature Despatch at Wavin Plastics
5. barman
6. barman
Venture Portraits?
I'm imagining they photoshop people into adventurous situations- like hunting lions, or climbing mountains.
fraid not
they photoshop whatever you like mind.
bigger boobs, smaller nose, more hair, less hair, you get the idea..
To the extent where it doesn't really look like you anymore?
I wonder if there's a market for photoshopping people to look like anime characters... the geeks would love that.
Probably around 20 or so
loads of crappy temp jobs over the years.
Best - running an off license in Windsor for a few months.
Worst - media sales company.
I've at least 8
not counting the ones that didn't last longer than a day.
Most of those were part-time and temporary during college and uni. One full time but I quit.
I'm now in another temp job, which I actually enjoy and may take up a full time position (in another job role) in August. Yay, it will be my first "career" move so to speak.
Best moments: Seeing bands for free, Stewarding (and watching) crappy football & rugby matches, Grand Prix and Silverstone and Download.
Worst moments: Seeing crappy bands, standing in the rain and cold at crappy football and rugby games, seeing something flash passed me at the speed of light every hour at Silverstone, standing by a crappy fence that no one ever went near at Download because I was the "noob".
Pizza Hut. Started at the end of November 07.
Best moment - a few Tuesdays ago, where I had the most responsibility I've ever had, and I broke my tip record.
Worst moment - the day after. Keen readers of my work will know what I am referring to....
I'm now in for another 3 nights starting tonight!
ita another one of those
"shout about yourself without reading anyone elses posts" threads
i've had
1. sales assistant at BUTTERFLY WORLD (sucked)
2. library assistant
3. worked at a cinema (free films ftw)
4. worked teaching foreign kids one summer
5. worked at henley regatta for 2 days (awful)
6. current job = library assistant, and first proper job after uni.
Cinema jobs are pretty cool until the novelty wears off.
Workin at Butterfly World would be cool if you got to look after the butterflies. (I'm assuming Butterfly World is a place where there are a lot of butterflies.)
over 30
can't remember, but I know
I've been working for this company (in various guises)for 10 years. christ I'm a lazy git.
I've had two 'proper' jobs; working in a hand bag and luggage shop and in a cinema. Both of which I did for a year and a halfish (I'm just about to quit the cinema), but neither full time, other than at holiday periods.
Other than that I sold AVON door to door, did a paper round and walked dogs for a dog groomer/trainer.
By far my best job was the dog walking one, I got paid £8.50 an hour for doing something I loved and probably would have done for free.
The worst was the shop. The women I worked with were nice, but it was the dullest thing ever and I got paid £3 an hour, which is less than minimum wage, even for a sixteen/seventeen year old (as I was at the time). Rubbish!
I also helped with roadying/doing the sound for gigs.
Which I occasionally got paid for. Is that a job?
painter and decorator
pizza chef/delivery
door to door sales
home worker (packing, soft toy making, delivering)
computer programmer for council
computer operator for industry it service
computer operations analyst freelance (4 contracts)
Computer programmer/analyst Insurance (5 projects)
Computer services problem management.
IT business/test analyst (finance and fx)
Business analyst
IT test manager
IT test Consultant
I dont know, cos im not in that area
and I see aminute fraction of that.
I cost £100 - £125 perhour.
I started on about 25p per hour home working moving up to 60p per hour on the farm
horseriding instructor/helper person
salesperson in a book shop
head of department in book shop
part time help at an orphanage/nursery
i think that's it

I think approaching my thirties is awesome. Thirties seem so mature, so debonair, so classy. I am actually kind of excited. I probably won't be saying that in a few years. This year, I'd like to have a really classy party, with jazz music. I want my friends to dress up. I want to play Charades and Scattergories. I want a mature chi-chi menu. I want a cocktail party.
We could have Cosmos for the ladies, dirty martinis for the gents. For food, deviled eggs, cheese fondue, fancy pigs in a blanket*, and cupcakes. And the music; I have a big band CD and I could get a jazz one. What to wear, what to wear? How about this sassy little number from Igigi:
Or this one, from Forever21?
I have some sassy black peeptoe slingback pumps that would look great with either. I have to admit, it almost seems like a dress up party for grown ups but I think it would be so much FUN!!!!
Fancy Pigs-In-A-Blanket Recipe (so's I won't forget)
Puff pastry
Dijon mustard
Sausage or frankfurters in different flavors (I used organic apple and Gouda chicken sausage, chicken chorizo, and sun-dried tomato and basil-flavored sausage)
Caraway seeds (optional)
Grated cheese (optional)
Roll out puff pastry. Cut dough into rectangles that are long and wide enough to wrap around an entire sausage/frank. Spread a think layer of Dijon mustard on each rectangle. Sprinkle with cheese. Roll dough around sausage and seal seam by pressing dough together. Cut franks crosswise into thirds and arrange on greased baking sheet. Brush with beaten egg and sprinkle with caraway seeds. Bake in oven at 375 for 20 minutes or until golden brown.

This British made staging is extremely strong and is very versatile due to its size. Each staging has 16 corners braces for superb rigidity and has Canadian cedar wood slats which carry natural preservatives within it, making it resilient to rot. In addition this should mean no treatment will be required for up to 10 years.
With 3 tiers, this allows maximum use of the space and storage, and gives you the ideal working height for 'potting up'. Ideal for 2' wide greenhouses, such as the Simplicity Sandon 4'x2', Simplicity Mini Lean-to and Vitavia Ida.
Please not that the size given is nominal and in actual fact this staging comes up slightly smaller than 2' so that it can sit within a 2' wide space or greenhouse. All Caverswall staging is delivered flat packed for self assembly, however full instructions are supplied.
The height of this Staging is 930mm/3'1" high
W 57.5cm L 57.5cm H 93cm
* required fields
Arrived as expected.Easy to put together and sturdy when assembled.
Exactly as described, just what I need and arrived very quickly
I bought 2 x 4ft and 1 x 2ft which fitted perfectly into my 12ft greenhouse. It leave enough space at the end for a good size hanging shelf which i also purchased at the same time. Very robust but i know other people have said that they didn't have enough slats but i had some left over. Not sure if they have started to supply a few extra or made the spacing between them larger. I now have more than enough work and storage space.

The Basque pro-independence left "goes ahead with the liberation process"
Convinced that "only with dialogue and negotiation" the solution "to the political and armed conflict" will be reached, the Basque pro-independence left reiterated before 5,000 people its commitment to retake the negotiating process on the basis of the Basque citizens' capacity of decision.
Joseba Alvarez, member of the national executive of the Basque pro-independence left, analyzed the PNV's (Basque Nationalist Party) behaviour these past months, and mentioned the PNV's slogan "Aurrera doan herria / A country that goes forward". Alvarez commented that "the PNV does not care about anything" not the apartheid against the Basque pro-independence left "nor the 600 Basque political prisoners in the Spanish and French jails, some with fulfilled sentences already or, others seriously ill, others like Gatza that have spent 27 years in prison, and others like Arnaldo Otegi that have been jailed for taking part in the negotiation process".
Joseba Alvarez commented that "the only thing that goes forward are the PNV's businesses, the businesses of imposition, such as the HST (High Speed Train), the Incinerator or the Super port of Pasaia".
Alvarez also dennounced the PNV's performance in the negotiations carried out in the Sanctuary of Loiola between the PNV, the Basque pro-independence left and the PSOE. "the PNV said no to both territoriality and to democracy for the Basque Country", next alluded to recent declarations of the former Spanish president Felipe González, who said that "Imaz is the best thing that has happened to the Basque Country". "The main person in charge at the time of the GAL applauds Josu Jon Imaz (PNV president) and says that he is the most intelligent head of Euskadi. It is shameful - continued Alvarez-, the enemy only plays with the traitors, and that is what Imaz is doing at the moment".
Alvarez insisted that "dialogue and negotiation are the only alternative" and placed the Basque pro-independence left as "the alternative" to build another kind of country, remembering that despite the criminalisation campaign, despite the banning of many Basque pro-independence left candidacies by the Spanish state "we reached 190,000 votes" in the last elections held in the south of the Basque Country.

Local firefighters were called to the corner of Bay View Road and MacDonald Drive to put out a truck engulfed in flames on Tuesday afternoon.
No injuries were reported.
Kip Radtke, 41, of Petoskey, was stopped at a traffic light on his way to a work site with seven gallons of paint thinner in the cab of his truck.
"The next thing I know I looked in the back of my truck saw flames shooting up," he said.
He quickly pulled his car off the main road, parked it near a telephone pole and used a stick to try and empty out his truck, but was turned away by the rising flames and heat.
"It was scary," Radtke said. "I tried to remain calm and make good decisions. But it happened so quick, there's not too many good decisions to make."
Idling a few cars behind Radtke was public safety officer John Duch. On his way home from training, Duch used his portable radio to place the initial 9-1-1 call that brought two trucks racing to the scene.

Happy new year everyone!
I hope you had wonderful holidays and a great party (or a quiet celebration) yesterday.
I celebrated the beginning of 2013 with some friends and made little wish jars for everyone, where the wishes and resolutions for the new year can be kept.
I used little spice-jars that I filled with silver stars, little pigs or clover and finished off with a label.
I'm going to write my wishes down right now!
2013 - let's hope it's a good one

Wal-Mart of Troy Alabama has a bunch of rude cashiers. I went to Wal-Mart to finish my daughter's birthday shopping for her party next weekend.
I have never experienced so many unnecessarily rude people in one organization. First I went to the bakery to order the cake, and the cashier had an obvious attitude. I was asking her to speak up because I couldn't hear her over all the fans and she refused. She rolled her eyes at me.
She looked at me funny when I told her what colors I wanted on my cake and laughed. When I told her my daughter's name she laughed at me. I then went to the self-check out to pay for the 1.50 plates that I bought as well as the napkins. I had a problem with the self-check out because it was not ringing up my merchandise (unbeknownst to me) so the self-checkout watcher came to assist me and I was explaining to her that I didn't know why the double weight sign was flashing.
She said because you didn't ring it up. I said I did. She said look sweetie if you did ring it up then it wouldn't say that, she asked me if I could count. Right there I was offended because I can in fact count, probably better than her since I have BA in Management from Troy University and I work for the State of Alabama for the past five years.
Well needless to say that her and I had words. I continued my journey through this terribly staffed Wal-Mart to purchase balloons from the customer service. Once I picked my balloons and paid for them through the last cashier. I told her to have a good night, she said nothing.
I thought maybe she didn't hear me so I said it again louder, she said nothing. The part of this visit that really aggravated me was the fact that the self-checkout watcher basically accused me of stealing $1.50 plates, I am not a thief and I don't see how an employee of Wal-Mart can accentuate that I am one. I was truly upset by the way I was treated at this Wal-Mart. Needless to say that I will not frequent here again.
I just moved to Troy from Montgomery, and I have never been treated like this ANYWHERE.
I will drive to Enterprise on the weekends or do my shopping in Montgomery before I come home, rather than go here. Too many attitudes and not enough customer service.
Product or Service Mentioned: Walmart Cashier.
Please do not say you have a degree of any kind from Troy. Your spelling and grammar are embarrassing.
However, the attitudes toward you are inexcusable.
I agree for someone who claims to have a BA, her grammar is horrible. So is her attitude.
Sounds to me more like some uneducated child than someone with a BA.
it's wal-mart,what do you expect??
Gee, bad service at such an upscale store as WalMart? I don't believe it!!!

What's in the Summer Programme?
A diverse range of weekly courses for all ages, 6 to 18+, running throughout July and August. We offer Art, Drama, Stage Combat and a chance to learn about Stage Management and Technical Theatre.
We offer an extensive programme of drama-related activities over the summer holidays. There are 4 weeks of workshops, which run from Monday – Saturday. Parents are invited to observe the final class on the Saturday morning. It's not a frantic, pressurised scramble to produce a 'show' in 5 days – rather, we value the quality of learning which the week presents and the opportunity for young people to learn more about the skills required to be an actor.

Now that's movie reviewing!
300 as reviewed on AICN: "I can't spoil the plot because THANK GOD THERE ISN'T ONE. Just ass kicking that kicks ass that, while said ass is getting kicked, is kicking yet more ass that's hitting someone's balls with a hammer made of ice but the ice is frozen whiskey."

Having made my way through the book a little further, I feel bad about my last post on Alex Haley's Roots. It's as if I didn't give the piece enough kudos somehow, did not appreciate the massive cultural impact the work must have had. This is proving to be a searing read, and my somewhat flippant attitude was shaped by the fact that I had previously only watched the TV series. What I am beginning to realise from reading the text, as well as some of the background to it, is that the story carries an enormous weight - especially for black Americans - and that it is written with great power. I still don't know which sequences were plagiarised from Harold Courlander, but will try to get hold of a copy of The African to find out.
Be that as it may, the sequences on the slave ship are viscerally 'honest', if that's the right word, unflinching in their portrayal of the squalor and utter brutality visited on the poor people aboard by the barbaric 'toubob'. How any human being could have survived such a terrible journey: four and a half months in the hold, chained to boards 24 hours a day, rolling in their own piss and shit, covered with sores and infested with parasites, beaten and whipped, is truly beyond me. Haley writes with great pride in the inner strength and dignity of the African men and women torn from their homeland to be sold as free labour in the not so brave New World. By describing the ship as a giant canoe, a cannon as a great black stick, and other similar devices, we see what is happening through Kunta Kinte's eyes; his inability to fully comprehend what is happening to him giving the terrible events an almost supernatural power.
Importantly, there is no Ed Asner figure to soften the worse than hellish cruelty meted out by the crew. This particular addition to the character list, along with some others, was made by the Executives at ABC Television to please the watching white folks in middle America, and it is I feel a further shame that it was felt necessary to do so. Indeed, I have read that there were no real expectations for the programme when it was made, and that it was originally almost sneaked out for fear of turning off the core audience - or the core audience turning off. How wrong can you be?
I also felt that there might have been a racist interpretation to some of the things I said in my previous post (specifically the bit about doing Kunta Kinte and Chicken George impressions) and I would like to quash that here. I would say that my younger self - like Richard Herring's - was a racist. We knew little of the world in Oswestry, and many - if not all - were, I'm afraid to say, surrounded by racist attitudes. Remember that Love Thy Neighbour and Mind Your Language were staple fare for us also, and so (excruciating as it now is to remember it) capering around shouting 'Don't whup me massa!' was considered the height of sophisticated humour for a 13 year-old boy.
Did watching Roots make me consider my racist attitudes in any way? In all honesty, I don't think it did. Just about everyone loved the programme. It was a cracking adventure with some boobs in it, but I really don't remember contemplating the role of the British and Americans in slavery to any degree. Reading Roots now is certainly making me do that; from my position as a middle-aged man, I can more clearly empathise with the human suffering portrayed, and can more fully comprehend how the whole thing must make black people feel. Especially as some things just haven't changed. Alex Haley must be given great praise for what he did, and I would urge you all to read this book.

Papers obtained from the Court by reporters show the media baron is claiming a 2007 transaction he entered into had been too complex to understand and inappropriately risky. Both Desmond and Credit Suisse declined to comment yesterday.

Let me point out some important advantages in blogging. These advantages are my own personal experience.
1. If the blogger who is not basically good at English, can improve by way of writing a blogs and can correct it.
2. Continual habit of writing.
3. Think about the topic and writing it(Improves a lot of thinking habit).
4. Improves your stylish of writing.
(Once the stylish of writing or adding a different words gives a professional look to your blog instead of using the same regular words and the cliche words makes non-sense and make the readers not to read anymore).
5. Even more sharing of knowledge is possible.
6. Sharing of your own thoughts.
7. Getting some funny comments to make you laugh and induce you to make more post(coz i personally experienced this)
To the readers: If you know some advantages, add as a comment to it.
Awaiting your comments.

Throughout this blog I will be introduce you to some "characters"/family members in my life.
So let me give you some background on me. Five years ago I married a wonderful girl named Jeanine. Now, this wonderful girl had a sister name Laura, who is also cool (most of the time), but before I met either of them, I had a close friend/best friend named Bryan. Long story short, I married Jeanine, Bryan married Laura which allowed us to create a sub-family-family. Now, even though they live in NC and we live in Chicago, we talk to each other on a daily basis and take vacations together and just have a good time all around.
So, as this happy family of ours continued Bryan and I felt it necessary to establish some "rules" for our family that we call the Sevison family (Sevilla+Johnson=Sevison). Being that Bryan and I come from a similar background i.e., loud families, sarcastic, and speak our minds and Laura and Jeanine obviously come from the same family which are more on the hmmmm...lets just say different from ours (calm down not in a bad way). We felt it necessary to have a balance and when I say balance I mean Bryan and I wanted a "Utopian" family, so we created "THE COUNCIL".
The soul purpose of the council is to make sure that there is order and communication in our families. Communication was something that we strugled with before the council because I would tell Jeanine something she would tell Laura and Laura would tell Bryan that was completly different from the original context. So what was once lets go out for Chilis now became Danny hates my moms Chilli. So something had to change. Now, some of you people might find this next part offensive or sexist and to be honest with you....I'm okay with that. Each family member is assigned a vote so that there is no fighting when a decision needs to be made. I have 1 vote, Bryan had 1 vote, and Jeanine and Laura both have 1/2 a vote. Now, before you get all crazy (mom) the reason was, if we had 4 votes nothing would ever be decided, we needed an odd number. So most important decisions are made via council; houses, where to live, kids, movies, vacations, etc. It has proved to work excellent.
There are other reasons for the council as well. We decide other family members we like as a group who doesn't really fit in to our "family" of sorts. For example, if one of our brothers or sisters gets married their spouse needs to be "council approved" which all have them have passed so far. Family is very important to us so if someone tries to ruin our family dynamic we don't take kindly to that. Another example, the holidays, it can be a crazy time for a family with all the family functions that one might have to attend with their grandparents, parents, aunts, uncles, it can be a stressful time for a couple unless they have a council. We decide where we are going as the Sevison family and it all works out fine because we have each other.
So my advice, if you have a brother or sister who marries someone that you get along with greatly, to form your own "council" make it your own. This is going to be a "thing" just you watch and see. Feel free to comment about this post with questions or comments. Oh and tell your friends! Till next time!

Well, I promised that I'd have some photos to share with y'all by now, but it would appear that Blogger has broken the upload mechanism (along with all of the other buttons for text formatting); and I'm not going to try to do batch uploading on flickr at 1.45 AM, so I should have them posted one way or another by this time tomorrow or so.
By the way, the final photo count ended up at well in excess of 300. 🙂

Impregum Penta Soft Quick is a fast-setting polyether impression material with a medium-bodied consistency. The mixing ratio, based on volume, is 5 parts base paste :1 part catalyst.The paste is mixed in Pentamix versions from Pentamix 2 (September 1999) on, earlier Pentamix units (before September 1999) extrude the material too slow.
Due to the lower Shore hardness, the impression material is highly suitable for impressions with slight undercuts, even without additional blocking out.
Each of the foil bags is sealed with a PentaMatic cap. This PentaMatic cap opens the foil bag automatically in the Pentamix mixing unit as soon as enough pressure is built up by the plunger.
See the pertinent instructions for use for details on the Pentamix and acces sories, Polyether Adhesive, Penta Elastomer Syringe and Penta Mixing Tips Red.
☞ These instructions for use must be kept for reference for the duration of product use.
Indications Impregum Penta Soft Quick
- Impressions of inlay, onlay, veneer, crown, and bridge preparations
- Fixation and implant impressions
Impregum Penta Soft Quick is especially suitable for taking impressions of single-unit and two-unit preparations.
Precautionary Measures
If an adverse reaction is observed in a patient, discontinue use of the product in this patient.
Impregum Penta Soft Quick – instructions for use:
Preparatory Steps
Block-out undercuts or areas where gingival recession exists to prevent the impression material from "locking" onto the tooth structure. Failure to block-out may make tray removal difficult, or cause extraction of natural teeth or prosthesis. The block-out is especially important when using impression materials with high Shore hardness.
Impression tray:
Any impression trays generally used for precision impressions are suitable.
- For sufficient adhesion to metal and plastic, apply a thin layer of Polyether Adhesive to the impression tray and allow it to dry completely (at least 30-60 sec,15 min is ideal).
Pentamix/Penta Cartridge/Foil Bag:
- Use the Impregum Penta Soft Quick foil bag only in combination with the designated Penta cartridge and with Penta Mixing Tips Red.
- Prepare new foil bags before taking the first impression by extruding about 3 cm of paste.The paste must emerge in a uniform color.
- If a new mixing tip has already been mounted when the cartridge is inserted, make sure that the drive shaft engages the mixing tip prior to start of mixing.
Solutions based on aluminum hydroxide chloride or aluminum sulfate are suitable retraction agents.The use of hemostatic threads containing epinephrine (adrenaline), 8-hydroxyquinoline sulfate, and iron (III) sulfate for retraction may impair the setting of polyether impression materials.
- Keep the area dry where the impression is being taken.
- If necessary, use hemostatic threads for subgingival preparations.
- Before taking the impression, remove completely any residue of the retraction agent by rinsing and drying.
Dosing and Mixing Impregum Penta Soft Quick
Dosing and mixing are done automatically in the Pentamix mixing unit. Only the Pentamix 2 or younger Pentamix versions must be used to mix Impregum Penta Soft Quick.
The processing time (max.1:00 min) begins with the entry of the paste into the Penta Mixing Tip Red (= start of mixing). It includes the filling of the Elastomer Syringe, application around the preparation, loading of the impression tray, and
the positioning of the tray in the mouth.
The residence time in the mouth must always be 3 minutes, regardless of the previously needed processing time.
Impression Taking
Mono-phase technique
- To apply around the preparation, attach the Penta Elastomer Syringe to the Penta Mixing Tip Red of the Pentamix mixing unit and fill it.
- Then load the impression tray which has been prepared with adhesive. Keep
the mixing tip immersed in the impression material at all times.
- Apply around the dried preparation from the bottom up. Keep the tip of the intra-oral tip immersed in the impression material and in contact with the tooth surface at all times during application.
– Application around the preparation and loading of the impression tray must be coordinated so that the loaded impression tray
can be placed in the mouth immediately after the application. The processing times shown for the materials used must not
be exceeded. Otherwise, the two materials will not set together. The consequence would be deformations or a poor bond in the impression.
- Position the loaded impression tray in the mouth immediately after the application and hold it in place, without applying pressure, until setting is complete.
- When the setting time has lapsed, remove the impression from the mouth.
– To remedy initial adhesion ("setting the valve"), especially with upper jaw impressions, remove the tray from the gingiva on one side in a posterior position. If this proves difficult it may be necessary to carefully blow some air or water between the impression and the gingiva.
After Impression Taking
Thoroughly examine and explore the sulcus of the prepared teeth and surrounding dentition. Remove any residual cured impression material from the mouth.
- Place the impression in a standard disinfectant solution commonly used for impressions for the period of time recommended by the manufacturer.
- Excessive disinfection may damage the impression. After disinfection, rinse the impression under running water for approx.
15 sec, then dry.
Model Preparation Impregum Penta Soft Quick
- Prepare a cast from the impression with a commercial specialized stone plaster no earlier than 30 min and no later than 14 days after taking the impression.
- To avoid introducing bubbles into the model, briefly pre-rinse with water and dry with air. Do not use surfactants as these impair the quality of polyether impressions and are not necessary.
- Polyether impressions may be silver-coated, whereas copper-coating is not feasible.
- Paste that has not set may be removed with ethanol or by rinsing with water and soap.
- Acetone can be used to remove the adhesive from impression trays.
- At temperatures below 18° C/64° F, the viscosity of the pastes will increase to such an extent that there may be mixing problems in the unit. Store the pastes for 1 day at a minimum temperature of 18° C/64° F; they can then be processed without loss of quality.
- Direct exposure to sunlight and damp storage conditions may damage the impression, see Storage.
- Polyether impressions should not be exposed to solvent-containing liquids under any circumstances. Swelling and imprecise modeling may result.
- 3M ESPE polyether materials may only be combined with 3M ESPE polyethers.
The working and setting times of the individual products must be strictly observed.
Storage and Stability Impregum Penta Soft Quick
Store the products at 18-25° C/64-77° F. Do not refrigerate!
Do not use after the expiration date.
Store impressions in a dry place away from light at temperatures below 30° C/86° F.

Guest post by Daisy Dyer Duerr
Principals and assistant principals can struggle with a variety of distractions that curb their productivity each and every day. As the new school year gets underway, do you find yourself asking whether you are being as productive as you want to be?
As a school leader, I found I was able to amp up my productivity and I'd like to share with you a few tips and tricks:
- Email. I spent 30 minutes on email before students arrived at school, then one hour after my children were in bed at night. NO MORE. You can't build relationships over email, but you can sure ruin them if you aren't setting aside the appropriate time to focus on your email communication.

The treadwear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear rate of the tire when tested under controlled conditions on a specified government test course.
For example, a tire graded 150 would wear one and one-half (1- 1/2) times as well on the government course as a tire graded 100. The relative performance of tires depends upon the actual conditions of their use, however, and may depart significantly from the norm due to variations in driving habits, service practices and differences in road characteristics and climate.

Dinner at MorganFields
My youngest sister is waiting to sign her employment letter from HR department to join her new USA company in Penang. She brought me to have my hair rebonded yesterday and collected my medication. Tonight, she will treat the family to Morganfield Restaurant in Gurney Paragon which specialises in steak. I am not a red meat person, hence, I always go for fish or chicken. Had my debit card replaced at a cost of $18 from Hong Leong Bank. It is a pity the one with Hello Kitty design had been blocked since it could not recognise my PIN number anymore. Probably due to the fact that I hardly ever use this debit card that also acts as ATM card to take out money.

Updated Roadmap Charts Consistent, Sustained Direction for Sage ERP MAS 500!
September 26, 2011
Hello Again Sage ERP MAS 500 Partners,
As we close fiscal year 2011, it is only fitting that we refine and finalize our plans for fiscal year 2012. For me, part of that exercise included taking a look at the Sage ERP MAS 500 roadmap and updating it beyond the 7.5 release targeted for Q4 2012. Last week's news about continuing support of VB6 in Windows 8 allows us the flexibility to continue with our plans in a coordinated and strategic manner. Nonetheless, we want to remain mindful of that challenge and build it into our long term plans.
For those of you who have been around for a while, you have undoubtedly noted some recurring themes in recent releases. Some directional corrections were needed and some groundwork needed to be laid. We are very proud of the work we've done over the past few releases and believe we are well positioned now to take some more aggressive steps to add value for existing customers, as well as attract new prospects in some key verticals.
As you know, we go to great lengths to listen to our customers and prospects in an effort to understand our opportunities. We not only review, but follow up by phone on in-product surveys and win/loss analysis reports. We travel to customer sites during and after implementations to understand how our products are being used in the everyday workflow of individual businesses. We spend time with you, our partner community, to understand the areas where we could improve in the sales cycle and in day-to-day operations once the sale is complete. All of this research brought us to a few key moments of truth that serve as the framework for everything we put into our releases and updates. Our software needs to be:
We've begun the journey. The course is charted. The road is clear. Please see the roadmap posted here.

BHUBANESWAR: In a move aimed at raising the socio-economic profile of fishermen beyond India, Central Institute of Freshwater Aquaculture (CIFA) here kicked off a capacity building exercise for Sri Lankan farmers on Tuesday.
CIFA has been identified as the regional lead centre in Asia-Pacific to train the community in the region in various aspects of fishing and raise production to fight poverty and malnutrition.
The training programme was inaugurated by vice-chancellor of Central Institute of Fisheries Education, Mumbai, Prof Dilip Kumar. The 10- day exercise would introduce the farmers to fish breeding and seed production techniques on varieties like 'Rohu,' 'Mrigal' and 'Catla' (Bhakura).
This apart, they would also be exposed to 'fingerling rearing' and pond culture, said CIFA director N. Sarangi. He said the initiative has been widely acclaimed in promoting regional cooperation.Growth of the aquaculture sector in almost all the countries in the region has been considered crucial considering that they not only sustain livelihood of lakhs of persons but also boost economic growth.
The Sri Lankan farmers would be imparted training through 'learning by doing.' They would gain first-hand experience in key aspects of hatchery management, selection of brood, hormone injection, spawn collection and nursery pond management. The group is being headed by Rajapakshe of the Sri Lankan Ministry of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources.
CIFA has also been engaged in capacity building of officers of Fisheries Departments of several States in the country. Recently, a group of entrepreneurs from Iran have also evinced interest to attend training programme at the centre.
Fishermen of Bangladesh, who attended a similar programme organised by CIFA last year, reported quantum jump in production and sustained growth rate.

And now, back to our regularly scheduled blog entry.
Last weekend Christopher Adams journeyed to Cincinnati to add his incredible bass playing to some tracks destined for the Jesus House Recording project. Deny Brigance provided digital recording equipment and Steve & Barb Steffins opened their home, sitting by patiently without headphones so they could hear only bits and pieces of the action. (If only we had video taped the proceedings. It could be on Facebook or YouTube!) As I was laying down tracks for "Only the Father" it occurred to me that I was surrounded by people who were previously involved in FCC. (Not the Federal Communications Commission but Fellowship Christian Church.) The Jesus House's connection with FCC was very different from the CHPC connection. It started the first summer the House was open . . .
One Sunday afternoon the Jesus House Staff was preparing to commune over a very tasty fried chicken dinner when a young man with dark hair, scruffy mustache and big smile walked in and introduced himself as Tom Smith. My first response was, "That's the best his parents could do? When your last name is Smith the first name needs to be Archimedes or or at least Black." Fortunately I didn't dwell on his name. We invited him to join us for dinner and heard about his reason for relocating to Cincinnati. Dinner concluded with the JH staff being excited about the new Campus Ministry at UC and Tom being excited about the Jesus House. None of us knew how intertwined the two ministries would become.
Tom established a very effective ministry based out of a place called the House of the Carpenter. Within a few years students from the UC campus ministry frequently attended the JH with many of them becoming performers. The performer list includes but is not limited to Deny Brigance, Randy Moody, and Rick Hine. Deny had and still has an unbelievably high rock & roll singing voice, incredible harmonies and great original rock & roll songs. Can you get better than a Christian R&R song titled "Holy Roller?" Deny was also known for putting together great bands when he performed at the House. Randy Moody wrote some of the funniest songs in the Kingdom of God, (Sin is the ring around my bathtub) as well as a wonderful celebration of the deep relationships we experience in the Body of Christ. (Randy sang, "One Big Time in the Kingdom" at Deb Smith's memorial service fall, 2007 and left me in tears.) Prior to his career in television production Rick Hine became an all purpose bass player and harmony singer for many bands including a few put together by Terry Fisher!
After a few more years, The House of the Carpenter decided to enter the Christian coffeehouse bizz and opened a concert venue in their basement on Sunday nights. Because they were University of Cincinnati students, and much sharper than the Jesus House staff, and because they did not serve coffee, they concluded they could not rightly be called a "coffee house" so they became the "Cookie House." Yes they did serve cookies! It was a great place to play. A relaxed atmosphere and a slightly older crowd than we had at the Jesus House during those years. In addition, the Jesus House always closed at midnight (yes, I made people leave by midnight) the Cookie House never closed!
The campus ministry also hosted a Sunday morning worship service. This started in the lounge of one of the dorms, Sander Hall (Thank you for the reminder, Deny) eventually moving into a large meeting space, the Great Hall, in the Student Union Building. During the mid to late '70's it was one of the few, if not the only, place to attend a worship service that featured contemporary music. The service also featured the excellent preaching of Archimedes...er..I mean Tom Smith. This service eventually grew into the church that became Fellowship Christian Church. I never became a member of FCC and because of my schedule could not attend regularly, but whenever possible I drove down and was always blessed by the worship services both in Sander Hall and Great Hall. Sometime after becoming Fellowship Christian Church they moved into the old Methodist Church building diagonally across from campus until securing property and building a new structure on North Bend Road.
Because of the style of worship, it became a natural place for the Jesus House to channel new Christians. It was an easy cultural transition for people who became Christians through the ministry of the JH to find FCC as their church home. It also helped that many of the musicians who played the JH worshiped at FCC. Kent Odor, of the JH staff, also spent time as one of the pastors at FCC.
This Week in History: Artists Who Performed at the Jesus House the Second Saturday of January
1972 - Baily Dickerson & Rich Davis
1973 - Brothers from the House of the Carpenter (see above) including Randy Moody & Dick Mott. This was the first time attendance on Saturday evening broke the 200 barrier. We had 201 people in attendance. Those HOTC boys could pack in a crowd!
1974 - Jon Owens
1975 - Rich Mullins
1976 - Rich Mullins
1977 - Dee Dee, Terry Fisher
1978 - Mark Ryman (from the One Way House in Springfield, Ohio!)
1979 - Covenant (Karen & Jenny!)
1980 - John Gould
1981 - Dave Workman
1982 - Cathy Snyder
1983 - Revelation Band\
Where are They Now?
Fellowship Christian Church no longer exists as a church. From my limited observation, it appears the members have spread among quite a few churches in the Cincinnati area including several Vineyards, Crossroads, College Hill Presbyterian and probably many more of which I'm not aware. Many of us had a reunion Fall, 2007 at a memorial service for Deb Smith, wife of Tom Smith. We were able to gather at the FCC building for a celebration of an incredible life. The place was packed. After the service, many of us drove over to the Springdale Vineyard for a reception. It was amazing to see many of the original House of the Carpenter boys (men) as well as original Jesus House people. Old friendships were renewed and the seeds for the Jesus House Recording Project were sown. Thank you, Deb, for being a rallying point for us.

Glory be to God for that wonderful time during which God showered us with so many blessings of fellowship and hearing the Word, preached and sung and lived. Terry, Somehow, reading this post reminded me of Isaiah 52:7-9,
How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him who brings glad tidings, Announcing peace, bearing good news, announcing salvation, and saying to Zion, "Your God is King!"
Hark! Your watchmen raise a cry, together they shout for joy, For they see directly, before their eyes, the LORD restoring Zion.
Break out together in song, O ruins of Jerusalem! For the LORD comforts his people, he redeems Jerusalem.

I was an original member of FCC in Cincinnati. I married in 1986, moved to Dayton, and eventually started attending Grant Edward's church in Springfield. At the time we moved to Springfield to work with them, the name of Grant's church was "House Christian Fellowship." Within a month of our commencing to worship there, they changed the name to Fellowship Christian Church! So, there is still a FCC, just in a different city. I never did figure out whether we had to pay franchise fees.
Also, FYI...there was a sister house to HOC, and some of us from those days were also blessed to be at the service last year and to have been part of the Jesus House crowd.

Michael & Cheryl-
Thanks for your comments.
Yes, Cheryl, I was aware of the sister house. At one point dated someone who lived there. I'm finding I leave a lot of details out as I write this blog.
In an upcoming entry you will read about the One Way House which became House Christian Fellowship which became Fellowship Christian Church. We used to do a summer retreat together. There also used to be an FCC in Northern Kentucky but it became a Vineyard.

You may be interested to know that Deb Smith continues to minister every day. The blog that was set up during her illness to minister to her and her family still has measurable hits daily. When I listen to her spoken words (Calls to Worship) preserved there, I am reminded of the blessings of community life in the HOC, and how, even as a young women herself, she nurtured so many brothers and sisters who also found God's Love and Mercy at the Jesus House.
