I've been off in my own little world the past couple of weeks.. or months..
probably months..
and then i when i am out of it i am off at an event or something.. and get backed up with thoughts, photos and adventures that i want to blog about..
So i've gathered up some photos.. and i guess i'll just add little captions and stuff explaining whats been happenings.
Link here!!
Its been a while since i've had one, i stopped doing anything for charity because people put me off them, telling me that the charities are all fake and stupid.
that and when you 'volunteering' for charity, you realise how much this world sucks too..
the only good thing about this charity is its pink. people dont walk past you as if they didnt notice you..
but it feels so shitty not being able to do anything..
so i thought i would try again.. its honestly better than nothing.
Anyways, so i was talking to Ajay about what we should do for the event. money raising ideas.
she said we should have a little 'game' day, where we would pay to play, etc etc.
and Stella told me to make it a fancy Asian high tea, so tea and yumcha!! yummo.
Hope it goes well :)
we'll be donating towards 2 charities that day.
The national breast cancer foundation as well as the cancer counsel..
I had a little idea the other day..
Every smoker should donate as much money each time they bought a new pack of cigarettes towards a charity that helps cancer, its like health insurance, you might need it one day.. it'd just be safer knowing that you're money is going to help you one day.
If you dont like that, just quit. but because people never quit..
so if you could spare $15 every day/week then you could spare another $15 per month..
if you wont do it for yourself, do it for the person you love that will one day get cancer.
i dont want to sound rude or anything.. just seeing some one with cancer is heartbreaking..
the ads on TV are shit.. people with cancer dont look like that..
they seriously look way too healthy.. as much as they want to dull it down.
if they wanted to scare people into changing something, they should go and see what i have seen... :(
i'll try lighten the mood..
i read up that 1 in 2 people will develop cancer.
i told dave this infomation..
N: DAVE! one in 2 people will develop cancer.. we're 2 people.. THAT MEANS YOU'RE GOING TO GET CANCER!
D: What! why me?!
N: cause life just isnt fair..
i think i had a more bitchier response to that though.. lol
But you know, this was the thing i wanted so much for so long..
and now that i have it, its no longer excited...
you know??
there is nothing left on my wish list...
i have everything i wanted.. o_O
(i just need a house, but we'll talk about that next time lol)
Also.. wtf do i do with it now! LOL!
I'm too busy to go out to take pictures -_-''
i said no..
so the next time i saw the picture i noticed my brother added a little note to it..
This has caused dave to go on a diet.
his lost 4 kilos so far :)
You know how i mentioned i hate babies, well i love this one..
Growing up so fast, a little naughty.. but shes just amazing.
we took her to the park, but this park was too 'old' for her, the only thing she was able to do was go on the swings.
(obviously taken with the new camera)
It was so great hanging out with Kyleen and Jiselle.
Up until the point where Jiselle threw up on Kyleen.. ><!! bahh!!!
It was so awful!!!!
i txted Dave straight after saying that if he ever got me preggas, i will kill him!!!
i hate barf.. more than i hate babies :(
Kyleen was a bit sick so she couldnt smell what i was smelling... i almost threw up too...
But after she was all cleaned up it was all good again..
i just couldnt eat for a while.. ><
but i made the wrong type of cake, and the wrong type of frosting.
:( ohwell, trial and error..
And from my to cook list!!
we made vanilla, Pandan and Chai flavoured ones.
i ended up licking it though.. isnt as yummy as it feels and smells.. :(
i googled it though.. its a real seed! O_O
Finally.. man, its been like 5 years since i graduated..
it was such a long graduation.. went for 3 hours or something..
but i guess we know why Lana loves her friends and school so much, everyone's just so close to each other.. its really sweet.
Our childhood, and how long we're known eachother
the fact that we're all together at this milestone together :)
these 2 girls are just so special to me..
i wouldn't know what I'd do if any thing were to happen to them.
*sighh* i feel so old =(
and she also hasnt seen us, it just makes me overwhelmed.. she was a big part of our childhood too, so many mixed memories..
And Karma, be nice, and the world rewards you.
on moon festival night, it was so busy!!
a group of monks came in from Vietnam, and when they left they all of us a bracelet :)
but apparently they freezeblast these macarons from sweden? and get shipped all over the world.
Anyways!! its currently 4am.
i've been typing for 2 hours, being distracted from catching up with a couple of people online..
but i finished making 100 cakepops with Debbie and her sister, my new bff Beryl
Nighty night!

Divorcing Neo to Marry SoulJaguar Wright, the obscure, yet bodacious siren that has sung with the likes of the Roots and Jay-Z, is releasing a album titled, "Divorcing Neo 2 Marry Soul" next week. Obviously showing her disdain with being labeled a neo-soul artist, Wright is publically calling out the music genre. My friend Tosha and I called the end of the trend long ago...besides, who told people muddled, pretensious, lazy-sounding music was "deep?"
As Fresh Fridays at the Opium, which featured neo, retroed sounds closes, and attendance at the similiarly-themed Mahogany's Soul on Sunday dwindles, one must evaluate what went wrong with a genre that felt so, so right?
When the Big Three first appeared (D'Angelo, Erykah Badu, Maxwell), people were tiring of the New Jack Swing fusions of 'do me baby' songs. People wanted substance. They wanted to be moved. R&B was lost, trying to stay viable as gangsta rap flousished and true love looked pussy.
As real artists began getting shine for true musicianship, many began riding the coattails of real artistry. For every Erykah, there was a India.Arie, poised with the headwrap, the deep stares and crazy-spelled name. For evey ambiguous love-ode by D'Angelo, there were a million Musiqs manufactured to feature loc'd and Afro'd chicks in EVERY video. (Didn't Musiq and India date for a while? The sunflowers and the seas must not have commissioned their love, huh?)
What neo-soul meant to me, was artists with feeling, who had been pushed aside by mainstream R&B, could finally be recognized for having some meaning behind their music. Voices that spared no emotion, muthafuckas that were really hurt, or in love or serious about being serious. And it was so refreshing to hear Maxwell bellow to his Suitelady that he missed her. Or let Jill Scott use her voice in several facets to describe her independance. I was all over it.
And so was the record industry. To the point that every singer signed had a choice: either they had to sing a hook with Ja Rule, or learn to tie headscarfs and skirts out of Kinte cloth. Singers got so insincere, that the music began sounding like high-school poetry. Dwele (who I really like, don't get me wrong. In fact, I probably have ALL of these people's albums) is barely heard on his Subject CD, trying to conjure that Brown Sugar D'Angelo vibrato. Really, it sounds ho hum. Being at the Opium, or the Brownstown, there was always some mumbling, organ-heavy deep track blaring out of the speakers. "What's that?" I would always ask one of the deejays. "The new neo-retro progressive crack jazz," they would respond.
I recently seen a performance that was so incense-woosy, I had to walk out. Not because the chick couldn't sing, because she could. But because she spent so much time in her songs trying to define herself, I couldn't enjoy the music. "Let the music define itself," I wanted to get past the ankhs and peace beads and lamentations...
Fortunately for us, people are still making clearly-sung, voice recognizable, soul music. Jaguar Wright sings her ass off on her new CD. Eric Roberson is one of the best songwriters I have ever heard. Jill Scott, well Jill's in love so I can excuse parts of her newest joint, but the poetry/singing thing will always be hers. Anthony Hamilton must get away from the Nate Dogg with soul thing (even though he deserves a brick in the face for that right-wing ass Nick Cannon joint) and represent the south right with real music. Lenny Kravitz, Seal, Van Hunt...all soul, all black, all hot.
As for the pretensious audiences waiting for the next dose of neo-soul, I call an end to the genre, ruined by the marketing machines of big business. Running a club night ain't easy, I've done it before. But as a consumer, I think people want to dance to hot shit, neo-soul ain't hot anymore. It smolders at its best, and it's nice to hear out every now and then. But I wouldn't bet my bank on it anymore.

Running at the Devil with God's word. The pamphlets of the Early-Reformation preacher, Jacob Strauss

Smyth TCD THESIS 8945 Running at.pdf (PDF) 247.6Mb
This thesis examines the printed pamphlets of a preacher of the early German Reformation, Jacob Strauss. The analysis is based primarily on my translations from German of Strauss's pamphlets; manuscript evidence from the Thiiringisches Hauptstaatsarchiv in Weimar; and a variety of printed works by Strauss's contemporaries. Earlier, German-language works on Strauss have reconstructed biographical details and offered summaries and separate analyses of his printed works. This thesis investigates Strauss's objectives in adopting the 'new medium' of the pamphlet and in exploiting the 'old medium' of the sermon. The pamphlets are treated as an extension of Strauss's role as preacher insofar as they are considered to address the laity, broadly identified with the 'common people'. To identify Strauss's aims in addressing this group, his publications are treated thematically. They are particularly suited to such treatment as they were produced in a relatively brief period and cover numerous topics. The emphasis in the analysis is on Strauss's tools for persuasion in the cause of reform and thus on elements which can be used to work towards an analysis of his work as teacher, missionary, and propagandist.

skirt: paloma soledad
pointielle camisole: noa noa
rose bud scarf: noa noa
sandals: noa noa
paloma's skirt makes another appearance! this is one of the few that we have left. i am always amazed at how fast we go through these skirts.
so here we have an outfit of the whatever day it happens to be. this one is pretty simple because this skirt pretty much speaks for itself (and for you).
this simple and sexy outfit makes me think of some impossibly pretty french girl running off to the market to pick up her weekly bouquet and basket of fruit. probably a baguette too. you know, because french people don't wear their pajamas to the market.

The How-to is pretty self explanatory, I do not know how to translate into anything more clear, just 6 steps to follow...
I do not even know anything about compilers or compiling things. What I was hoping for is to compile and extra details unknown to non-Linux experts such as, "you need to download this package A using this command, and do this or that, then follow this step" ... that's what I mean. Just a little bit more simplified or more clarification on the HOW - to common lay man terms. Again, I am certain this is not that "simple" to others. Maybe to you and other experienced Linux users - not the general populous. You understand what assistance I was hoping for?
Not really, because if you do not know then you do simply not know. Nothing is going to change it (but yourself)
You want to use application like that one you need to invest a bit of time to learn at least basics & not rely on set of batch commands that you have no understanding what they are doing.
It is not rocket science after all, I find your provided instructions perfectly OK to start (and you will learn in the process!)

Colonna Bars & Nightlife
Bars & Nightlife neighborhood
Salatto 42
Piazza di Pietra, 42, Colonna
Tucked into the Piazza di Pietra and looking out at the stunning columns of Tempio di Adriano, Salatto 42 is the quintessential Roman bar: mellow and loungey for aperitivo (get the spritz—sure you can't go wrong, but it tastes especially good here), which comes with a constant procession of passed snacks, then progressively rowdier the later it gets. Keep in mind that it tends to get a bit packed and loud inside, with the crowd often spilling out into the square.

Yesterday I had a wonderful afternoon of creation in my kitchen. I didn't do anything too complicated, and I didn't have to buy any new ingredients; I just cooked real, delicious food. I created some flavours to cook chicken wings I had in my fridge, and while they were cooking, I realised that I hadn't even thought to have them with anything (sometimes I get all too focused on the protein component of a dish that I forget about the other things I'm supposed to cook until the last minute and fluster around with them).
I had a quick look in my fridge and grabbed out the vegies I had most of to create this simple and very refreshing salad which I put together in about 3-4 minutes (which stopping to crunch on extra celery because sometimes I forget how delicious that can be)
The thing I like most about this salad is that it's a little different so can shake up your usual routine when it comes to salads, as we can all get in a habit of making the same salad over and over again. It also has a lot of flavour and the minute pieces make it easy to get a range of flavours in every mouthful.
I promise you will thoroughly enjoy it!
Serves 2
1 stalk celery, finely diced
2-3 inches cucumber, finely diced
1 carrot, grated
1/2 bunch parsley, roughly chopped
2tb extra virgin olive oil
Juice of half a lemon
I tossed the ingredients on my chopping board before adding to the bowl and dressing with the oil and lemon juice.

This is freaking amazing news!ReplyDelete
That said, I hope it's still as "simple" as the original game and maintains the random character generation element (which was one of the things drawing me towards ICONS)
It's good to see that V&V has finally escaped the black hole that FGU has become. I only hope that this isn't another iteration of Living Legends.ReplyDelete

NEW YORK, March 6, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ForceField Energy Inc. ("ForceField" or the "Company") (Nasdaq:FNRG), a seller and distributor of energy products and solutions, announced today that it has completed the sale of its 50.3% interest in TransPacific Energy, Inc. ("TPE") to certain current and former TPE shareholders for total consideration valued at approximately $2.0 million, which includes $50,000 in cash and the return by the TPE shareholders of approximately 255,000 shares of ForceField's common stock issued in connection with ForceField's acquisition of its 50.3% interest in TPE in June 2012. The total value received by ForceField for its equity interest exceeds the amount it paid to purchase the interest by approximately $500,000. This transaction is part of the Company's ongoing strategic plan to focus its resources on very significant near term opportunities in the multi-billion dollar LED market.
Under the terms of the agreement, total consideration valued at approximately $2.0 million includes approximately 255,000 shares of ForceField common stock, valued at $7.49, as of the market close on March 5, 2015. The shares, which have been returned to treasury, will reduce ForceField's outstanding share count from approximately 18.7 million shares outstanding to approximately 18.45 million shares outstanding. Additionally, ForceField is indemnified from any past, present or future obligations or liabilities, which were assumed in totality by the TPE shareholders that were party to the agreement. As a result of the transaction and effective immediately, ForceField has exited the "ORC waste heat segment" of its business.
The divestiture of its ORC waste heat segment will enable the Company to more efficiently deploy capital to support current LED projects as well as to support current backlog and outstanding proposals; including the recently announced significant LED multi-million dollar street light conversion programs in Connecticut and in other states. In addition, it will also support the expected expansion of its LED services, product capabilities as well as its regional presence.
David Natan, ForceField's CEO, commented, "We are very pleased to have received nearly $2.0 million in value for our waste heat assets which have been essentially dormant for the last one and one half years. There is no doubt in our minds that this transaction, which enables us to retire 255,000 shares outstanding and reduce our share float, is in the best interest of our shareholders. Focusing our resources on the LED market opportunity will enable us to more rapidly deliver the highest potential revenue growth, operating margins, and return on capital. We will continue to work diligently to maximize our capital resources to support the expected long term growth and profitably of our company."

I enjoy the company of romance novels and historical fiction!
My official blog - http://nadabutamor.blogspot.com/
It took me a surprisingly long time to finish this book. I thought, since it was a historical romance, I'd finish it faster.
The Duke and I is a witty, heart clenching, laugh out loud kind of book. There were many instances where I'd be literally bursting out with laughter. But ironically, I didn't feel the book like I do with other historical romances until I got within spitting distance to the ending. Don't get me wrong, it's a really good book, it was really interesting, and a definite page turner, but I couldn't grasp the world of the Bridgertons' tight enough to become apart of it.
Fortunately, as I got towards the ending, I couldn't put it down. Cocooned in my blanket, reading into the night and getting drawn into the world of the Bridgertons' was utterly relaxing. I'll be picking up the next book of the series soon.
I recommend this to all those who enjoy the pleasure of historical romance. Every historical romance addict should get a glimpse of Julia Quinns writing, because she is said to be one of the best historical romance writers out there

Steam Controller + Steam Link
So I have been working with Steam Link and the Controller.
First of all:
Steam link!
What would you do. If you were in your living room lounging on the couch and so comfortable. But you kind of also want to play a pc game? Well look no further. Here is Steam link! The little box you get is no heavier than your normal HDMI switch box. You place it beside your tv and hook it up using an HDMI cable. It is that simple. You then turn it on, and sign into the wifi network of your home. Once that's done you make sure it's linked to your steam account and you're good to go. It is kept so simple throughout the use, you enter big screen mode and from there you get the list you can stream onto your tv. I have to note that the quality of your visuals however depend on your home network, if it's slow, you won't be able to play games on the highest settings.
Also you're simply seeing a mirrored version of your pc, so you have to keep it turned on while using the link. It doesn't come without it's bugs, but so far I really enjoyed playing around with it, it's simple in use and it adds that small bit of elegance of pc gaming into your very living room.
The Controller
Using the steam link you can attach an Xbox controller, Logitech or the very own Steam Controller. I have played around with it for a while and first of all i found it felt very light and with it kind of cheap. It's mostly plastic, and that's something to be getting used too after using the PS3 controller and the PS4 controller. The second was the two track pads that work like a mouse. You can move the cursor around. Not just that but the right pad replaces the right thumb stick, which in shooters and racers take a lot of getting used too. Though on those two platforms they do work best. While playing DOTA you make it yourself a lot more difficult than just using your keyboard.
The controller is a lot to get used too in all. But you can totally tweak it to your desires. Set the actions to the buttons and the sensitivity. Keeping in tune with the adaptability of PC Master Race.
I enjoyed both, it's a lot getting used too and some small bugs here and there. But together they work, and they do what they advertise to do. I just wish the controller would have been less plastic and a bit more… well none plastic, I feel it might break any time. The link works awesome and I do use it a lot when I am not behind the computer.
As for the review, that's it for now and hope to see you all soon!

Today I thought I would share with you my 3 favourite body sprays at the moment.
Now I never used to be much of a scent person but all of a sudden I have realized how much pleasure it brings me to smell amazing.
First on the list is my Zoella Beauty Blissful Mistful…
I've always been a big fan of Zoella and had been watching her video's for a long time when she brought out her beauty range and this was one of the items I had to get my hands on. It isn't a really heavy, full on scent but more light and refreshing. I would describe it as a mix between fruity and floral and is a lot lighter and fresher than the other two scents I'm going to mention. This makes it my go to for a laid back relaxing spring day, perfect for this time of year.
Next is my most recent purchase, the pink Hollister spray in the scent Crescent Bay…
I purchased this just this week and it has already made it's way into my bag. The scent is pretty strong so one spray goes a long way and it has a pretty impressive staying power in my opinion. Almost everyone I know owns one (or more) of the Hollister sprays and I finally decided to give one a try since I'm going on this body spray rampage. This is another floral and slightly fruity scent (can you tell their my favourite) and is great for going out for the day so you can smell good all day without having to take the bottle along to reapply, just what I need.
Lastly is one I was very skeptical about at first, the nspa Vanilla body mist…
I was given this by a friend at Christmas along with the matching shower gel and was scared to smell it. For some reason I have always hated the smell of Vanilla (maybe because it isn't fruity or floral) and the first time I sprayed this I didn't think my nose buds (is that a thing) had changed. But within a day or two of giving it a million and one second chances it really started to grow on me and now I love it. This is another one that has stayed in my bag.
I hope you enjoyed this little post today and let me know of any posts you would like to read in future.

Want to know more about this unique way of out of the box thinking? www.marcdeturck.com
For me today's seminar was interesting because I explained to myself some behavioristic, emotional and other phenomena about the people around us. I liked also the systematization of the approaches which can be used to gain results in already created problematic situation as well as methods for avoiding such situations.
L.P. Head of Business Development and Sales
Thank you for the precious moments! The skill to communicate is something which we as human beings easily lose and fall into conflicts. To be able to handle them even when they seem bigger or higher than us is as important as knowing the ways in which we can fall in them. I am happy I've been with you and see you again!
D.P. Senior administrator HR
I received a good preparation for my work with the living human being. The exposed theory plus the practical drills will help me for more success with people.
H.S. Manager
Fantastic speaker. Gives lots of energy and important data in a humoristic way. I never slept on his seminar and I stayed until the end, what I normally not do on seminars.
J.D. CEO, Building company
Fascinating and interesting performance by the lecturer. Categorically discharging and entertaining though it was not so deep. In each new contact one can learn something useful and practically applicable. I would define what I learned today as "each new thing is a well forgotten old one".
Marketing and PR
I hope to be able to successfully apply in practice the presented principles which enriched what I knew so far. The examples given at the seminar will bring about successful realization. Thank you.
R.K. Chief of "Operations"
It was pleasure for me to take part in this seminar, on which I learned, systematized things, what I met in the past and intuitively recognized in my personal and professional relationships.
Thank you for your attention and for the interesting seminar you presented to us.
I wish you a lot of achievements and personal success!
E.B. Director
Thank you to Mr. Marc De Turck and Mr. Imre Toth for the presented subjects. For me this was a new theme and field of knowledge.
I wish success to the whole team and I am looking forward to see you!
M.P. Director
Interesting techniques concerning emotions and the tone scale.
P.G. Chief of operations
The seminar was useful for me because I learned how I can "order" even better my way of life – professional and personal. Thank you!
M.S. Trade Director
For me this seminar was useful in dependence with the job I am doing now – Chief of the Cabinet of a Minister. In my everyday life I meet different people with different personalities and have to take different decisions. I am sure, now this will be easier for me.
I want to thank you for the knowledge you gave us.
M.C. Director
Thanks to the training team! Perfect organization, professional approach, interesting point of view of the problems discussed. Provoking the interest of the workers in the sphere of business to this issue is praiseworthy. I wish you success in every new challenge! Always be so open and ready for all the managers who want to be one step ahead in the dynamic business environment.
I.A. Director
Impressions that I want to share with you exceed my expectations. The way of presenting the lecture from both of lecturers made me feel like a part of their team.
Enthusiasm they gave us kept it interesting all the time. The things I've learned will be useful for me not only in my work as Chief of the Cabinet, but also in my life – especially personal life.
I wish to the team to be always at good level and I longing to see you on the next seminar.
Good luck!
N.T. Chief of Cabinet
From the seminar I learned a few techniques for finding out the emotions of my opponent. Directions for leading of conversation in a different environment (good or hostile). Specification of the characteristics of the anti-social personality was also useful. As a recommendation: to put little more stress on the conflict itself – techniques in its resolution in different situations – boss-subordinate; between colleagues and so on.
R.D. Sales Manager
For me the seminar was very interesting, in a great extend it "opened my eyes" about the reasons why people behave in a certain way. In the last part the emotions came a little bit too much for me. The concept is very interesting and I would like to read the book.
M.K. HR Director
I hope to be able with the help of the seminar to handle the conflicts between my colleagues (and the anger in me).
K.V. Vice-president
I think that the fact two lecturers were so artistic very much help to direct the attention of the participants and to learn the matter.
The seminar is very useful to understand the basics of behavior of people who have bigger responsibility toward their subordinates and to help their work in making important decisions.
K.P. Director
I want to express my good feelings towards both of the lecturers. They are two wonderful lecturers not only in theory, but also in the practice. All the information we received (despite it more difficult perception) is involved in our everyday life (in personal and professional aspect).
The good systematization will help us to see from a different angle the colleges beside us and to be able to understand them.
Thank you for the wonderful presentation and I hope we will have future meetings!
S.G. Director
Thank you for the way of presentation of the lecture and my view about the management has changed in another direction, having in mind how we can look at the team and team work.
It was very useful for me to have practical and specific example in the management of an organization.
My personal benefit from the seminar is big and I hope I will implement it in the future.
From the seminar we received useful and interesting information concerning basic principles for conflict resolution, how to define and recognize the emotions from the Tone scale and the characteristics of the social and anti-social personality. It might be added some preventions for conflict appearance. Wonderful lecturer with perfect qualifications of an orator and body language.
V.I. Sales manager
Perfect: The seminar on conflict prevention and resolution was:
- Useful;
- Not loaded with terminology;
- Delivered in an entertaining way;
- Logically structured;
- Interesting in the communication with the participants
P.D. Director
The training gives us the opportunity to look from a side with enriched look otherwise common things from our everyday life. Some of those things we feel and realize internally and all this actually can be systematized. Gives us tools for managing of various situations.
F.T. Development Manager
Thank you for the wonderful seminar.
The lecturers were extremely communicative, they well complement one another.
I have learned a lot of new things that I hope will use successfully.
P.C. Director

Great news for all art lovers, connoisseurs and just people with a developed taste for aesthetic appreciation- the biggest art event of the year is here. If you cringe from the word "the biggest" as something very commonplace in Dubai and being the only attraction slogan for most Dubai events, think of it this way- more than 3,000 carefully selected pieces of art are here to satisfy the artistic void we all are having in Dubai. Besides, this is a rare event not centered around food or unlimited bubbly, or, well, more food. The event opened on Wednesday and the variety of artwork is surprisingly good. Artists and galleries from all over the world came to showcase their best pieces (some, of course, might not be the best though, as they targeted this particular market.). There is even a corner dedicated to Japan promotion so if you are not in love with Japan yet, you will definitely fall in love with its beauty after this exhibition.
The focus of the World Art Dubai event is on affordability, so it would be a good time for you to redecorate your house, considering the variety and the prices of the artworks. Get rid already of the cheap cheesy marbles, sachets and cute little postcards and make your house look like one of an adult. An adult with taste.
My tips for buying art at the World Art Dubai are as follows:
- You have to be in love with the artwork you want to buy.
- You should have an idea of where in your house it will look the best.
- It should be within your budget.
The first point is the most important one, so if you don't find anything to fall in love with, do not buy anything just yet. Art taste does not come instantly, it takes years to learn art and to develop an artistic sense. Europe has a thousand years history of art, but for this part of the world it is still something new.
This is what World Art Dubai say about themselves:
"One of the things that makes World Art Dubai such a special event is the fact that anyone, regardless of their art buying experience, can come and take home an original work of art the same very day. With more than 3,000 paintings, prints, sculptures, photographs and more on sale from more than 30 countries, finding cool art suitable for every budget from $100- $20,000 has never been easier."
It might has never been easier, but as I said before, it is not that easy. I see this event as a wonderful art exhibition to satisfy all tastes. Another great thing about World Art Dubai is what's behind the scenes, or in this case, it's right in front of you- workshops and art talks. All included in the quite symbolic ticket price. This is what I have bookmarked for the next two days to come:
Friday, April 14.
3:30 pm- 3:45 pm. Demo: 7-minute speed painting by Victor Satali, Mahaweb from Beautiful People. See how an piece of art can be created in just a few minutes. discover the magic.
6:30 pm- 7:00 pm. Talk: Scrapbooking and the art of keeping memories with Hitesh Kanwar, 4get-me-not.org. We all have memories, learn how to make sure they last forever.
Saturday, April 15.
3:00 pm- 5:00 pm. Workshop: Crafting with thejamjar. A unique opportunity to learn how to create something with your own hands, and who knows, maybe this workshop will uncover your inner artist.
5:00 pm- 6:00 pm. Masterclass: The Art of Makeup by Lancome. Yes, we are still in Dubai and makeup plays an important role in Dubai life. Art can be very understandable.
Since there are two more days left, hurry up. The Art Dubai exhibition is open from 2 pm and is at the World Trade Center. When browsing art, do not hesitate to talk to the artists, it will help you understand the art better. As Henry Ward Beecher (he was not an artist, but he loved art) said: " Every artist dips his brush in his own soul, and paints his own nature into his pictures." I would add to that: And it is a well a reflection of the soul of the viewer. World Art Dubai gives everyone a unique opportunity to find what's inside your soul.
You can read more about the event and the schedule here. Tickets are 20 dhs at the entrance and 15 dhs when bought online at PlatinumList.

In this age of technology, job searching takes on a whole new light. The Internet is a powerful tool. Online applications, emailing resumes/cover letters, kiosks in the mall, social media…so many ways to apply for employment!
Some things to keep in mind as you job search through technology:
An email address can be very personal, but if you are applying for a job and using your email as a method of contact, keep it clean and unoffensive. You don't want to send the wrong message with an inappropriate email address! Setting up a separate email just for your job search using your name or initials @hotmail or @yahoo is sufficient for a potential employer. Just make sure you check it on a regular basis.
Isn't facebook great? You can share your pictures, connect with old friends, but if you are searching for employment, make sure there is nothing out there about you that could jeopardize your job search. Goggle your name and see what happens, clean up anything that is posted about you that, again, may send the wrong message to a potential employer.
Make sure your message on either your landline or cellphone is clear and identifies you. "This is Susan Smith, please leave your name and number and I'll return your call as soon as possible" is fine, not " Hey, I'll get back to ya, if I feel like it"….wrong message for anyone, let alone a potential employer!
There will be a workshop on Getting Hired through Social Media at PA CareerLink® on Nov. 16. Call 814-445-4161 to reserve your spot!

Ontario Liberal caucus endorses MPP John Fraser
The resignation of former premier Kathleen Wynne left the party rudderless and scrambling for leadership and direction. Now it appears it may have got both with Ottawa South MPP John Fraser being unanimously endorsed by members of the Ontario Liberal Party caucus to lead to the party on an interim basis. His endorsement came after the outgoing Liberals held their final cabinet meeting.
Fraser, has been an MPP since 2013 and was parliamentary assistant to the minister of health. In the recently concluded election, he won his riding by a convincing margin of over 5,400 votes. Former Premier Dalton McGuinty represented Ottawa South from 1990 to 2013.
The majority of Liberal ministers lost their seats in the recent provincial elections as their Progressive Conservative rivals secured a majority and the New Democratic Party gained many seats. Several, including outgoing leader Kathleen Wynne, acknowledged the challenges ahead.
One name being floated around earlier was is Don Valley East MPP, Michael Coteau one of the few Liberals to retain his seat in last week's election.
Coteau has previously held a position as Minister of Tourism, Culture and Sport in 2014, and he helped to ensure a drama-free Pan Am Games. Later he was tasked with overseeing the government's anti-racism response, just as Black Lives Matter Toronto was turning up the heat, and later appointed him Minister of Children and Youth Services. He recently added another ministry, Community and Social Services, to his bulging portfolio.
According to Couteau, the party must understand why that collapse took place, where was the disconnect between our party, our brand, and the people of Ontario? And how do we re-establish that relationship and that trust."
Economic Development Minister Steven Del Duca, who was defeated in his suburban riding north of Toronto, said the desire for change was "visceral" while campaigning.

- jntsouAsked on April 22, 2016 at 04:54 PM
Is is possible to set up the inventory control directly on Sales Order Form?
Is will really make life easier especially on email confirmation too. I
need to manually enter all the product description in the email
confirmation. This does not making sense.
- JotForm SupportKevin_GAnswered on April 22, 2016 at 05:07 PM
If I'm correct, you are referring to the name of the widget, that you have to updated it manually in the email that is sent upon a submission, if I'm correct you need to update the email and auto-responder on this part of the email:
Though the widget's name is there, there is no way to identify which is the widget since it does not have label on it, this will be fixed by adding a label in the widgets settings, you need to click on the widget and instead of clicking on the wizard icon you will click on the gear icon in order to get the field's settings.
Now you will be able to update the text to identify your widget, do it on the section as shown in the image below.
This will be automatically updated in the email notification and auto-responder:
In case that you only want to add the label to each widget only in emails and you do not want them to show in the form, you only will need to click on the widget, on the top toolbar you will find the option Label, click on it and choose disable, this will hide the label on the form, but it will be still showing in the emails:
Hope this will help you.
- jntsouAnswered on April 22, 2016 at 11:44 PMHi,
The question is customers should only see what they ordered on the email.
Not list of the items that they did not order. Just like the sales order
confirmation email.
Please let me know how to fix this.
- JotForm SupportMike_GAnswered on April 23, 2016 at 01:07 AM
Normally, we just need to enable the "Hide Empty Fields on Email" option from the old preferences and empty fields won't show anymore on emails. However, since the Inventory widget has a default value of "0", which is considered as a value still, enabling the mentioned option would not really help.
I will try to escalate this to our developers so they could come up with a possible solution to your concern. However, I would like to apologize if I cannot provide any ETA to when this will be available. But, please be reminded that you will be notified via this thread for any updates.
Thank you.
- jntsouAnswered on April 23, 2016 at 02:44 AMI have been a paid user to Jotform for two years. This feature was never improved. This just doesn't make sense to the customers.
The best way is to have QTY control in the sales order form.
Sent from Jean's iPhone
- JotForm SupportliyamAnswered on April 23, 2016 at 03:03 AM
We understand your concern and unfortunately, it's not simply easy so think out solutions and features for users as the development team is pretty busy with a list of things in their pipeline.
We try to have the features of forms to be flexible enough to serve everyone. However, that does not mean we leave things out as such. For this reason, we are grateful for people like you who lead to us and share ideas with us on how to make the forms easy to use and how it should serve your purpose.
So as soon as we have updates, we shall inform you the soonest.
Thanks for your understanding and patience on this matter.

I am still alive, faithful followers....but barely! I feel like I just can't get caught up no matter how hard I try. I wanted to put this out there: I have been having much more frequently what are commonly called 'ocular migraines'. I was wondering if anyone else out there had any info they could share with me about this. Of course, the first time it happened I was sure I was going blind from the Lyme. It was super-scary, but I did a little research, and spoke to my Neurologist who said to just keep a log and if they become 'too frequent' to come in. What is 'too frequent'?? Do any of you know anyone that has these and has determined some sort of 'trigger'?? I still have not put two and two together with these.
Okay, enough with that. Let's get down to the good stuff!! *Blingaholics* unite! I have a fun project with freebies I am sharing today. If you are interested in creating some shirts of your own, just leave a comment or send me an email, and I will email you the embroidery font files *free of charge*!Be sure to let me know what format your machine uses!
My son goes to a new High School that opened last year with Freshman and Sophomore's only. Awesome! Beautiful campus, excellent staff, no Senior 'meanies' to detract from the excitement of Freshman year. One HUGE problem though.....Ugly school sweatshirts and T-shirts!! I have seen some from other schools in the area, and ours are definitely some of the ugliest! (sorry to whoever 'designed' them) I thought there was certainly room for improvement- let's leave it there. The beauty (??) of this project is that you can use the ideas to apply to any group. These pics for instruction are actually from some sweatshirts I am doing for another school.
First the 'legal stuff':
These designs are my own, and are copyrighted. You may use these ideas and files to create your projects and sell those projects. You may not copy or download these files and use the files for resale. I am giving this away to you, please do the same, but give credit or a linkback to Ticklish Moose and this blog. :)
A few notes about this project:
It is designed for use with machine embroidery, but you could also make templates with a graphics program and sew around the letters with a regular sewing machine, or even by hand! The project I am posting today is 'reverse applique'. I will also post a different project next week with the sweatshirts I have been doing with 'regular applique'. You can use either one of the files I will send you to do the reverse or regular applique.
I buy Guildan sweatshirts from Jiffy Shirts
I use between 40 and 60 5mm Hotfix crystals per sweatshirt.
April at A Crafty Family is my source for the crystals, and her level of customer service is second to none!
The first thing I want to discuss if fabric choice. From experience I have found that definite geometric prints do not work well for either of the applique applications. Random patterns, solids, batiks or blending fabrics are going to be your best bet. Use a good quality quilting cotton type of fabric, or even t-shirt knits. Pre-wash and dry both the sweatshirt and the fabric so you don't get any 'wonky' shrinkage after you are finished.
Second- use a good quality, medium weight, cut away stabilizer. Use a needle made for stretch/knit fabrics! I use a 90/14 ball point. If you use a sharp you will just punch/tear holes in the knit.
Iron the fabric!
Use any sweatshirt, hoodie or T-shirt.
Hoop the fabric and stabilizer, and spray the face with an embroidery fabric adhesive.
Turn the sweatshirt inside out. Fold the shirt across the chest just below the arm pits.
Line up the center front with the center marks on your hoop and press down the shirt. Open the fold across the hoop and press. Now open the shirt from the bottom, and adjust/smooth as needed, being careful not to stretch or pull the fabric of the shirt.
Add a top tear away/water soluble stabilizer once you have set the hoop on the machine.
Run your design!! Remove your hoops and tear off the top stabilizer.
Carefully cut through just the top layer. I have found that it works best to make basic cuts, and then go back and carefully trim the top layer.
I do basic trimming, and then go back and detail trim. Be sure to leave some of the sweatshirt material on the inside of the letters, as it curls up nicely after washing. Also, it makes it so you don't have to worry about being 'perfect' in your trimming!
After you get it looking like you want, use clear packing tape to remove any last bits of 'fuzzies' left from the adhesive spray and the back of the sweatshirt. This is also the point where I throw the shirt in the washer on rinse cycle only to remove any last bits of top stabilizer and fuzzies. Dry it in the dryer, and at this point you can be done, or go on the the *blingerator* phase of this project.
When I add the Hotfix crystals I have found it works well to dry place them ahead of time to figure out the best placing and spacing.
And there you have it!! Awesome shirts easily made in an afternoon.
Go Team!!

Nature Photography
PHOTOGRAPHY WORKSHOP - 3rd edition
WHO THIS PROGRAM is suitable FOR
Professional and amateur photographers looking to enhance and refresh their camera eye through a memorable experience in a comfortable and authentic environment that is the best location for contact with Amazonian nature and involves the special participation of professional photographer and journalist João Marcos Rosa.
WHAT to EXPECT
The highlands of the southern Amazon are the ideal spot to broaden the creative possibilities of any photographer, whether professional or amateur. This meeting point of the Amazon, Pantanal and Cerrado ecosystems offers a multitude of color variations, extreme contrasts and diverse perspectives for the development of new visual narratives. This will be a unique opportunity to capture outstanding pictures in one of the last preserved areas in the Amazon, while perfecting your photographic skills and techniques, guided by the orientation of the renowned photographer João Marcos Rosa.
From the dense forest, swollen rivers, magnificent rock formations and wild animals to little details like the flowers, frogs and butterflies, this is every nature photographer's dream. This magical environment also represents a significant challenge for the adventurous photographer. Sun, heat, humidity and the distance covered to encounter many of the species are some of the obstacles to be faced. However, all the effort will be hansomely rewarded with beautiful pictures and a great learning experience for all lovers of photography.
The activities will consist of theoretical and practical lessons. The theoretical side will be conducted in the Cristalino Lodge's excellent infrastructure, presenting audio and video in a relaxed and engaging atmosphere. The topics range from the photographer's posture within the natural environment to advanced techniques for creative photography, including image editing and processing. On the practical side, you will venture into the wonders of the authentic Amazon jungle, observing the different forest layers as you climb to the top of our two 50-meter observation towers, gliding along a crystal clear black water river and sharing the pride of our guides in every piece of land within our reserve. A variety of nocturnal photography will be tried, obtaining photos of rare mammals, by means of camera traps using professional equipment, and the incredible starlit night of the Amazon, for light painting.
Field trips will take place every day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, with analysis of the day's photos conducted in the evening. The groups will always be kept small, to maximize the chance of observing the wildlife, and will be accompanied by Cristalino Lodge's excellent guides, who all have extensive experience and will seek out a variety of Amazon bird species. The Cristalino Reserve is noted for its rich biodiversity. It is also a great opportunity to photograph the scenery, 'above all' from the observation towers.
Many species are not always found nearby, so it is recommended that one take lenses of at least 300 mm. There are also excellent conditions for taking landscape photos using wide-angle lenses. A laptop is a good idea too as, at the end of the program, the group's best pictures will be shown during the final talk. This is the third workshop at the Cristalino Lodge to be given by National Geographic photographer João Marcos Rosa. The end of the dry season, in early November, is great time to see the wildlife. Many trees are in fruit and the scenery is breathtaking. It is the season of renewal and the dense forest is pulsating with life. It is a very enriching experience.
October 22 - 27th 2018 (5 nights)
Transfer from the Alta Floresta airport to the Cristalino Lodge, a 1-hour road trip and 30 minutes by boat. The Cristalino Lodge staff will welcome you at the hotel and show you to your room. You will meet the photographer and the guides who will accompany the group, to talk about the program. There will be a welcoming speech and a slideshow.
First venture into the forest
The program begins with an incredible photo shoot on the River Cristalino, where nature reigns in calm supremacy. The sun sets behind the stark silhouette of the forest and there is a broad palette of colors in the sky and reflected upon the water. And, of course, you can go for a dip in the river!
Uirapuru on the Castanheira trail
The castanheira (Brazil nut tree) on this trail is the largest in the forest. It is about 500 years old and six people have to join hands in order to embrace it. This is a good opportunity to use a wide-angle lens. Hopefully, you will hear the beautiful singing of the uirapuru (musician wren) and maybe even get a lovely picture of this forest icon!
Sunset on the River Teles Pires
In the afternoon, gliding over the waters of the River Cristalino towards the River Teles Pires, note the difference in color when the two watercourses intersect. This meeting of the waters takes place in a perfect setting for beautiful photos. On the journey back, the focus is on the local jacaré (caiman) and some special techniques for nocturnal photography.
Sunrise over the forest canopy
The two Cristalino observation towers, located in different parts of the reserve, each have a height of 50 meters. Climbing their 228 steps is literally the high point of the experience. From the top you can enjoy a breathtaking 360 degree view of the forest and take the opportunity to record the magnificent sunrise over the Amazon jungle.
Butterflies on the Saleiro trail
In the afternoon, you will venture along this trail that penetrates deep into the forest, photographing the different butterfly species, the flora of the region and other details using photomacrography techniques.
Photo analysis
At night, in our comfortable auditorium, the photos produced up till now will be analyzed, with tips for editing and image processing. It is a time for detachment and aligning one's expectations. Photography in the Amazon is a learning experience!
Boat trip and inspiring scenery
In the morning, enjoy a pleasant canoe trip through beautiful scenery in one of the quietest activities on the program. From inside the boat or on dry land, you will be trying to photograph birds and monkeys along the riverbanks, practicing techniques for motion photography and using telephoto lenses.
Sunset from the second observation tower
The setting of the sun in the Amazon is one of those moments that deserves special dedication. There is a much technique to be put into practice, as well as numerous bird species that can be added to your list. Named after Ted Parker, the tower honors this renowned ornithologist who visited the Cristalino Lodge in the 1990s. In addition to the possibility of photographing the fauna, it will provide a moment for contemplation, as well as for recording the forest landscape from a privileged angle.
Photo analysis
Another opportunity to review your photos, blending theory and practice in a relaxed and engaging atmosphere. Viewed from the windows of our auditorium, exuberant nature holds the promise of even more inspired photo editing possibilities.
Viewing point on the Serra trail
Start the day with a boat ride that takes you to this special trail, from which you can photograph the highlands, the flora and the animal species that live there. All the resources of photomacrography will be explored. The return to the hotel can be along the Figueira (fig tree) trail, where you can take a look at the tree's spectacular roots, or you can go by boat.
Closing event
Put together your own edition of the best images from the program, to be presented in our auditorium during the closing talk.
Free morning
Take advantage of the rest of the morning to enjoy the comfort of your bungalow or venture into the forest, in perfect harmony with nature, to take your last few pictures of the Cristalino. Departure is at 10:00 am, when we will head off to the Alta Floresta airport.
