Hello to all of our THOUGHTS on THIS 'n THAT blog followers and to all of America! We hope you are celebrating a happy month of July and are ready to be assaulted by every form of political media coverage possible. In the next few weeks, get ready for the circus to arrive in town; first, the Republican Convention, July 18th – 21st in Cleveland, Ohio and then the Democratic Convention, July 25th – 28th in Philadelphia.
It's my hope and I'm sure many of yours, that these Conventions will get us all fired up for Tuesday, November 8th, when we, each and every one of us Americans, exercise our Constitutional right to vote for whomever we want to be the next Commander-In-Chief. I'm not only referring to the Presidency, although that's a biggie, but we have state and local elections, too. It really matters this time, actually every time, but especially this time, so keep your eyes on the prize!
We kick off our summer must-read list with Jennifer Close's novel, THE HOPEFULS (Knopf) which will be published Tuesday, July 19th. It's about a wife who leaves New York City to follow her husband who after the campaign, gets a position in the Obama Administration. Once in DC, the back-biting, constant competition and gossip begins. I met Jennifer at BEA and she said she was just a bit worried that readers may be over-saturated with the political stuff. I told her my feeling is, she couldn't have picked a better time to write this particular novel.
Among all the recent fiction around WWII, author Chris Cleave's miniseries of a novel, EVERYONE BRAVE IS FORGIVEN (Simon&Schuster), is a surprising standout, with irresistibly engaging characters who sharply illuminate issues of class, race, and wartime morality. This novel about three entangled lives is written by the author of best-selling LITTLE BEE.
Richard Russo's, EVERYBODY'S FOOL (Knopf) is a sequel to his 1993 NOBODY'S FOOL (Knopf). Having met him for only a brief time at BEA, according to my non-scientific survey, I have to say he was the nicest guy autographing novels. He also had one of the longest lines of fans, but never brushed off. EVERYBODY'S FOOL revisits fictional New Bath, New York and continues on with the unmet expectations of working-class hero, Sully.
Here's the debut novel the publishing world can't stop talking about. It's California 1969 and THE GIRLS (Random House) are part of a Manson-like cult. 14-year old, Evie sees them in the park and goes over, she doesn't have enough sense of who she is to resist the lure. Emma Cline's novel, THE GIRLS (Random House) is rumored to have sold at auction for seven figures and Scott Rudin has acquired the film rights.
Yaa Gyasi's debut novel, HOMECOMING (Knopf) follows one Ghanaian family's experience over two continents and three centuries. The characters experience far-reaching consequences of the African slave trade and diaspora, as they migrate from mud-hut villages to Ghana's beaches to Harlem's jazz clubs. It's a story of place, home and discovering where you belong.
In the suspenseful new novel BEFORE THE FALL (GrandCentralPublishing) by Emmy Award-winning creator of "Fargo," the TV show, Noah Hawley, a struggling painter is drawn into the lives and fiery death of two powerful men – one media the other financial. It's one of the biggest hits so far this summer.
Mary Frances (Frankie) is a country child, protective of her perfect life on the family's apple farm in Jane Hamilton's, THE EXCELLENT LOMBARDS (GrandCentralPublishing). This coming-of-age story, is a warm portrayal of complex, believable characters stepping up and facing change. Jane Hamilton lovers will not be disappointed.
Tracy Barone's debut novel, HAPPY FAMILY (Little, Brown and Co.) begins with a teen mother giving up her baby. Forty years later, she's supposedly an adult, juggling her own brood and obsessed with her adoptive dad's distant, secret family. A funny story about growing up – at any age.
Anton DiSclafani's, THE AFTER PARTY (Riverhead Books) takes us into the circle of well-to-do '50s Houston high society. Cece's friend Joan has dazzled the ladies who lunch and their rich powerful husbands for years, but Joan's unladylike desires are catching up. Cece must choose between gossip and gin with the girls or her bff, Joan. "One woman always needs the other woman less." The After Party
As both a tomboy and a late bloomer, comedian, Jessi Klein grew up feeling more like an outsider than a participant in the rites of the whole girl thing. Chances are, she's made you laugh, without you even knowing it. Jessi's the head writer for the Comedy Central TV show, "Inside Amy Schumer." Prepare to laugh even harder with her first essay collection, YOU'LL GROW OUT OF IT (GrandCentralPublishing). I like to call it "pee your panties funny."
Bestselling author of The Three Weissmanns of Westport, Cathleen Schine returns with her new novel, THEY MAY NOT MEAN TO, BUT THEY DO (FSG), a look at three generations about aging, family, loneliness and love from her signature hilarious perspective.
Former Bureau Chief for the New York Times, Elaine Sciolino has lived in Paris since since 2002, and shares her love for the City of Lights in her latest book THE ONLY STREET in PARIS: LIFE on the RUE des MARTYRS (Norton). She focuses on The Rue des Martyrs, which despite modernization keeps is charm – the small cafes, cabarets, bread and cheese shops flourish and refuse to join the hustle and bustle of the 20th Century. Elaine Sciolino captures a street we all must visit soon before it's charm disappears … and a Pottery Barn appears.
I hope you enjoy some of our suggestions. Feel free to share some of yours in the comments section. Novels for fall are already being published. We'll be posting some reviews and suggestions soon.
Remember: The Republican Convention starts Monday and THE HOPEFULS will be published Tuesday.
Have a wonderful weekend … Viva la France!

School superintendent issues flood statement
By J. Chambless
On Thursday afternoon, the superintendent of the Unionville-Chadds
Ford School District, John Sanville, issued an email alert regarding
the stormy forecast for the next few days. Sanville wrote:
"With Joaquin on the way – and considerable rain forecasted prior to his arrival – we are monitoring the local waterways carefully. We are uniquely situated in Chester County, with the Brandywine River and tributaries running right through our community. This means we have experience with flooding and related bridge and road closures.
"UCFSD has plans and procedures in place to safely transport children in the event of flooding. There are crews putting eyes on road conditions and we are closely following the hydrological tables for predicted flood stages. If you would like to follow along with us in monitoring conditions this link is a great start -- http://water.weather.gov/ahps2/hydrograph.php?wfo=phi&gage=CDFP1.
"In general (depending on the amount of debris under the bridges) these are the thresholds that impact transportation:
At 8-10 feet — Northbrook Bridge closes — impacts employees coming to work and students we take to the CCIU. We have work-arounds for transportation to get kids to the CCIU.
At 9.5 − 10.5 feet — 926 Bridge closes. We have work-arounds for transportation. However, buses will be late to bus stops and to school.
11-13 feet — Route 1 Bridge closes. This is the disaster situation. If Route 1 is closed, we will not bring students in. If during a school day there is the danger of Route 1 closing — we will close early."
Sanville said the Unionville Community Fair and related activities are still planned for Friday. "Please bear with us as we monitor multiple scenarios that impact all parts of the district," Sanville wrote.

The only experience most of us will have with focaccia is a dry piece flatbread served at chain restaurants as an Italian-style appetizer or part of a more ambitious bread basket. Which is a shame, because properly prepared, there are few things in the world more delicious than focaccia. Moist with herb oil and a tender, almost creamy crumb, you won't believe how good it can be.
By properly prepared, I mean you need to have a high hydration dough to get this to work (75%-80%). The recipe I use is very similar to this raisin bread recipe, though I obviously leave out the dried fruit for more savory ingredients.
|Before baking. Sliced tomatoes and plenty of herb oil
|After baking: note the char. The herb oil cooks the tomatoes a little, too
A word of explanation about percentages: a 75-80% hydration dough means that if the weight of flour equals 100%, you need to have 75-80% of that weight in water, also. So if you add a pound of flour, you have to add .75 or .85 lbs of water. A more detailed explanation of baker's percentage can be found here.
|Pepperoni pizza focaccia
Typically, I treat it like a pizza, and put various toppings on it. We'd have it more often, but it's a bit time-consuming to make: lots of time and care. But it's worth it. Every delicious bite. Make some. You won't regret it.
|Left: tomatoes and cheese. Right: tomatoes, sauteed onions and cheese

What To Know About Donald Trump's Businesses
This has surely been an historical election. Not only did America have the opportunity to elect the first female president, the country also had a political novice running for the Republican Party. Donald Trump may be a newbie in the political realm, but he is not new to business. That, in fact, he is quite familiar with that arena. So, can Donald Trump keep his businesses once he's sworn in as President of the United States? Let's discuss.
It gets a bit complicated, but the short answer is yes. According to the Boston Globe, Trump can in fact keep all of his business ventures and even promote policies that are in his best interest. The publication reports that this kind of political and business involvement is unprecedented. "Historically, presidents have gone to great lengths to avoid these conflicts of interest, but there's no law requiring them to do so. And Trump has said little about how he would separate his economic interests from his presidential responsibilities," the publication states.
So, if he doesn't reorganize the company structure by appointing a new person to run things and therefore limit his conflicts of interest, there is no law in place that's going to make him. He currently runs the Trump Organization which houses everything that is Trump-branded: casinos, hotels, golf courses and more, Investopedia reports. Then there's Trump University. According to Politico, Trump will defend himself against charges of fraud in his Trump University real estate seminar program in federal civil court on Nov. 28.
According to TumpUniversityLitigation.com, both Trump and Trump University are denying that they have done anything wrong, and Politico reports that Trump's lawyer, Daniel Petrocelli, may try and delay the trial further. Although, if he has time to step into office before a ruling is made, there will be no issues continuing the investigation.
"Although scheduling problems may arise, there is no reason to assume that the district courts will be either unable to accommodate the President's needs or unfaithful to the tradition-especially in matters involving national security of giving 'the utmost deference to Presidential responsibilities,'" Justice John Paul Stevens wrote, Politico states. "We have confidence in the ability of our federal judges to deal with both of these concerns."
While Trump could theoretically continue to manage all his businesses, New York Magazine reports him saying in a January debate, "If I become president, I couldn't care less about my company. It's peanuts."

5 ways to incorporate Almond Butter into your diet
Almonds are a delicious tree nut, often described as one of nature's healthiest foods. They're packed with protein, heart-healthy fats and fibre. Almonds offer a good source of important minerals and vitamins. Some of these include:
• Magnesium
• Calcium
• Iron
• Selenium
• Vitamins B2 (Riboflavin)
• Vitamin B9 (Folate)
Forty Thieves 100% Almond Butter is made from whole non-GMO almonds grown in South Australia. Our nuts are dry-roasted with their skins intact to create a full flavoured, textured butter packed with fibre and antioxidants. Because it's available in a jumbo-sized 500g jar, nut butter lovers can take advantage of more savings and less packaging.
The magic happens on the Hibiscus Coast but you'll spot the Forty Thieves team all over Auckland hosting tasting sessions in stores or selling jars at markets. One of the most common questions we're getting asked is "How do I use Almond Butter at home?" While spreading onto warm toast and topping with sliced bananas is a sure favourite, there are plenty of other great ways to incorporate Almond Butter into your meals. Get inspired with these 5 delicious ways:
1. Almond Milk
2. Salad Dressings
3. Smoothies
4. Healthy baking, slices and bliss balls
5. Pestos and Rubs

Shep Rose Says "Not One Single Friend" of Austen Kroll's Supports His Relationship with Madison LeCroy
The Southern Charm bachelor has even more to say about Austen Kroll and Madison LeCroy's romance.
Every Thursday, Bravo Digital's Megan Segura and Erik J. Mac bring you exclusive interviews with Bravolebs like Vicki Gunvalson, Nene Leakes, and Stassi Schroeder, plus expert commentary and behind-the-scenes secrets straight from Bravo execs. Listen, like, and subscribe to The Daily Dish on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and Google Play, and make yourself part of the conversation by tweeting us @Bravotv with the hashtag #BravoDailyDish.
Southern Charm's Shep Rose definitely hasn't held back about his views on Austen Kroll and Madison LeCroy's relationship — and he apparently has even more to say.
In an interview with The Daily Dish podcast, Shep spilled about his current friendship with Austen and if his feelings about his girlfriend have changed.
"I love Austen," Shep said. "I know Austen's a good soul. I do. We've talked a lot. Not one single friend of Austen's supports that relationship, not one. Not even a little bit. It's crazy to me because if you give me even a scintilla of a reason to get out of a relationship, I will jump at it, tackle it. So if six of my friends were like, 'We don't like your girlfriend,' I'd be like, 'OK. All right. I need to go this way.'"
But even though Shep is not a fan of Madison's, he remains good friends with Austen. "We've had too many good times for me to ignore the good times that we've had," Shep explained.
Shep revealed there is more drama to come between him and Madison this season; hear what he has to say in the podcast episode above. And see more from Shep about his past history with Madison, below.

Henry Kippin from Collaborate writes about the 'improvising organisation'.
I am clearly not pulling up any trees by stating that New Public Management as a framework for policy and practice in public services has probably had its day. Academics like Patrick Dunleavy and Christopher Hood have already written the obituaries, and a cursory glance at any one of several articles from the likes of David Brooks, Matthew Taylor, Janan Ganesh or Jenni Russell show that creative thinkers from across the political spectrum are regularly exploring what comes next underneath the politics.
We are seeing existential new efforts to define what a 'future public servant' should be and do – from contributors as diverse as universities, management consulting firms and the public sector itself. For Francis Maude et al, civil service reform lies squarely in this territory; though the pace of change has frustrated his government. For opposition thinkers like Jon Cruddas, the unresolved question of implementation looms large over an imaginative set of policies and ideas.
New public management techniques partly rely on certainty (or the illusion of it), and it is the lack of this – in the face of increasingly complex supply and demand challenges – that make the design of new approaches so hard. If the market and the metrics don't work, then what should exist in their place? Different contexts and places will need different things. If performance management and compartmentalisation create perverse incentives, then how else can increasingly fragmented delivery chains be held to account? Increasingly localist rhetoric will need to be matched by a degree of letting go – and that means tearing up the rule book (green book?) in both central and local government.
I have become mildly obsessed with what the 'new new' public management could look like, and have been re-reading the literature on clumsy, adaptive, whole-systems and tri-sector leadership. All great and part of the mix of approaches, and all sympathetic to the notion that complex problems require a non-linear and nuanced form of solution. But as a governing philosophy, it turns out that jazz is hard to beat.
Was Sonny Rollins talking about commissioning when he said that "the most important thing is to get away from fixed functions"? When Miles Davis said that "if you are not making a mistake, its a mistake", was he talking about user-led public service design? Err, no. But the ethos that provokes jazz musicians to struggle against structure and to improvise in truly collaborative ways can in some ways be translated into management thinking.
These quotes come from Frank Barrett's book 'Yes to the Mess' which is a good read and a treat for anyone who likes a bit of Night In Tunisia with their Street-Level Bureaucracy. His prescription ? The 'improvising organisation', which may be impossible in (statutory) practice but aspirational and very current in tone and feel. Try this:
"The improvising organisation would create fluid structures that form, dissolve, and reform as new situations and challenges arise… People from different functionalities would talk to one another regularly, sharing insights and expertise as the situation demands. Wide-eyed expressions would be commonplace as insights popped up from unlikely places at unpredictable times and as workers arrived at new understanding through collaborative processes".

Harold Meyerson will be the special guest on this week's "Your Rights at Work" show, today* at 1pm on WPFW. The longtime political columnist who often wrote about issues affecting workers was recently dropped by the Washington Post. Meyerson's "insights will be sorely missed by Post readers," tweeted Bernie Sanders. Ed Smith and I will discuss prospects for the labor movement with Meyerson and take listener calls.
Here's today's labor history:
On this date in 1920, the American Federation's Iron and Steel Organizing Committee ended the "Great Steel Strike." Some 400,000 steelworkers had been striking for more than three months, demanding union recognition, but the strike failed.
Today's labor quote is by Richard Perry, former president of the AFL-CIO's Union Label Department:
"We've all heard the lines: unions are outdated. Working people needed unions at one point, but not any more. Employers are decent today; they treat their people OK. And for those who don't, the government provides protections. …Bull! …Today's decent employers are decent because unions force them to be decent."
* The show with Meyerson was actually broadcast on Thursday, January 7. Click here to hear it.

It's easy to take the convenience of your garage door opener for granted. Like water in the well, you hardly notice it until it suddenly stops working. Fortunately, the repairs for most garage door openers are fairly easy. You can probably troubleshoot the problem yourself. We're here to help.
If the opener doesn't work when either the remote or the control panel is pressed, odds are it's a power supply problem. Nine times out of 10, the motor unit has become unplugged. Check the outlet and make sure the cord is still plugged in. Perhaps you've blown a fuse. Check the fuse box and make sure all connections are flipped on.
If you hear the motor clicking or humming, you've probably got a burned out motor. You can buy a new motor and have it installed yourself. There are plenty of YouTube videos to walk you through the process. And there's no shame in call in a professional repair service for this garage door opener repair.
If the keypad doesn't work, try moving close to the door. You may be out of range. It's also possible your antenna became damaged by wind or a storm. Check the antenna to see if its upright and still attached. If the wall switch still works, chances are your remote or keypad needs new batteries.

The 2017 Paper International Experience is in the books and it was an incredible experience! This experience would never have been possible without the help of our donors. On behalf of this grateful group, we would like to thank everyone who contributed for making this trip a reality. Our group would also like to recognize and thank Dr. Chang for his dedication, planning skills and network made this trip possible and tremendously memorable. Inside of ten days, our group experienced the high rises of Shanghai, the Forbidden City in Beijing and everything in between. In just a short time, we were completely immersed in Chinese culture and eagerly awaited the next marvel, we would see. Throughout our trip, we went to several extraordinary places including the Great Wall and Bund along the Huangpu River. Overall, we were able to see many incredible historical sites and experience a life changing trip abroad.
Three-ply linerboard….containerboard and more
In addition to our cultural experiences, we were able to visit several unique papermills and two universities, Nanjiang Forestry University and Qilu University. Voith was our first industrial experience. There we learned about their employee training programs and saw their production lines. We were able to see the construction of Yankee Dryer hoods and saw the assembly of tissue machines in their warehouse. We toured the Gold East Paper Mill where we saw three coated free sheet machines. Later that same day we toured the Yongfeng Yu Paper Mill. At this facility, we saw a three-ply linerboard machine using old corrugated containerboard sourced partially from the United States.
World's Largest Continous Digester
We also toured SunChem, a company founded by NC State alumnus, Dr. Michael Sun. His facility makes specialty release paper for synthetic leather production. The most impressive feat was Dr. Sun's explanation of how they pieced together this one of a kind machine from several different manufacturers. We went to an Asia Symbol manufacturing site where the world's largest continuous digester is housed. Unfortunately, the mill was on an outage so we were not able to tour, but we still were able to learn a tremendous amount from our generous hosts. Our last mill, Tranlin, uses wheat straw to make their products. We toured across the mill seeing everything from the wheat straw piles to the finished tissue product. Each facility provided us with plenty of opportunities to ask questions and learn how their processes differ from ours.
From Inquisitive Paper Students to Close-Knit Group
This trip was filled with laughs and memories that will not soon fade. We started the trip as a group of inquisitive paper students and came back as a close-knit group of world travelers. This was the largest PIE group ever and the bonds that we forged with each other amongst old friends and new, was surely a highlight. The trip was much more than we ever could have imagined. You can check out our daily blogs and our concise photo gallery here.
Another huge thank you to all involved and we are excited to start thinking about PIE 2019 . . . . . Where will our group go?

Do Not Be Discouraged
Grace to you!
A couple of days ago, we reflected on what I called persistent prayer.It was drawn from Our Lord Jesus Christ's request that we persist in asking for our needs (Luke 18:1-8).
In the Gospel of Luke 18:35-43, we see another example of a persistent petition prayer. The blind man called on Jesus for healing. Though the Gospel of Luke didn't give the name of the blind man, a similar story recorded in Mark 10:46-52 gives us a name– Bartimeus. Many bible scholars believe the story is the same, so I will use Bartimeus to describe this event.
Bartimeus, a blind roadside beggar hears about Jesus of Nazareth, and believes he is the messiah. He calls to him: "Jesus Son of David, have pity on me." His call was already an act of faith. Declaring Jesus "Son of David" was a Jewish euphemism for the messiah; for the messiah will be the Son of David.
Though Bartimeus was in need and wanted healing, some around were all out to discourage him. Surprisingly, the discouraging voices came from those who journeyed with Jesus. They may have been the disciples; or if not, they may have been the fans (to use a popular phrase). The Gospel of Luke says it was those "in front" that wanted to stop the blind man.
Bartimeus wouldn't allow them to do so. His faith and determination to see Jesus couldn't be stopped.
Sometimes in our spiritual life, the greatest discouragement does not come from outsiders or from those who do not share the same faith tradition with us. It comes from those who are in this journey with us.
You know, those times they ask: are you more religious than the pope? Are you holier than Jesus? They may accuse you of being churchy or sanctimonious.
Perhaps, you want to spend more time in Church after Mass for a brief thanksgiving for the graces you received at Mass. It could be you want to practice more works of mercy or stoop to help distribute food for the poor and the homeless. Then some friends discourage you, telling you such practices are demeaning; they do not fit your status.
Equally, it could be you wanted to grow more in the spiritual life and seek some counsel from those you love and respect as great examples of the faith you admire. Instead, they discourage you, dampening your zeal and enthusiasm.
This might be done in subtle ways to sow the seed of discouragement and dissuade you from your prayerful and holy aspirations. Those discouraging voices may not mean to sow the seed of discouragement, though they do anyway.
In situations like the above, remember the example of Bartimeus. Keep calling. Jesus will call to you and you will have your moment of divine embrace, of healing graces. It will be your time.
Pay attention to the inner thoughts, and silent voice inspiring you to do God's will. As you ward off the discouraging voices and distractions, perhaps you will hear the silent, gentle voice of the Lord, "What do you want me to do for you?" Then, you should be able to say what you truly need, what you desire.
For Bartimeus, it was "I want to see." For you, what is it? Is it "I want my wounds to be healed?" "I want to be immersed in your love." "I want to see your face?" or what?
I pray Christ the redeemer will fulfill our heart's desire. Amen.
God love you. God bless you.

All the other offers starts from 500 up to 600 for new ones.. and other 400+ range second hands either dont have the M2 card or the warranty card....
I went to see her at Tanjong Pagar MRT last thurs and exchanged it. It was in BETTER condition than my Lost K800i heheh she said got scratches... where got?? In short, i'm very happy and satisfied... I will take care of it LOVINGLY... insya'Allah
I like my Blogspot's layout... i also like the part we can put HTML codes in it... especially my Lahore Clock. heheh But this it is NOT good enough... now that i've put it for selected readers only.... prolly NOBODY has read my entries except for Ziah who left a comment... bcos it's troublesome to go thru registration all over again...
But multiply is also giving me heartache... This morning i started typing at 6.30 and vigorously doing so for 30min to meet the deadline (to go get ready for work) and then when i clicked "SAVE AS DRAFT" it bloody page went blank on me! as though i just signed out. and it was all lost!! NONSENSE!!! Usually when i write at work... i will ctrl+a, ctrl+c and ctrl+v to my Word doc.... but i thought after just 30min i surely still am logged in?? arghhhhhh
Anyways... i have concluded that i shall type at work.... and email to myself then at home i will post it..... But the kick is just not there..
Oh well..... i hafta make do now don't i?
Miss you Multiply... Please be good to me ok?
K800i & Multiply....
I have gotten myself a second hand K800i!! I had the idea of surfing for it on eBay and Yahoo auctions... After over 20 pages of browsing, i've found the best offer
Too attached... too attached....
It feels worse than the break up. The last time i cried this hard was two days ago while watching MANN. but that's not real. But I cried like i had cried when Kamal scolded me about his client's claims.
Yes, losing my beloved dearest handphone felt THAT bad. I LOVED it to bits. yes, i had it coming. It tried to tell me to take more care of it, but i didnt listen. I kept babbling about getting it insured but i haven't and didn't actually do it until it's too late.
This morning, before going to work, as normal i put my bags on the dinner table and hunted for bfast. everything went on as per normal until i was going to turn my hp to Office mode when i realised..... IT'S GONE!
I retraced my memory.... and my steps.....
1. I was sure i put it on the dining table this morning along with my bag and lunch.
2. then i walked out from the door to the car just below
3. this part i only VAGUELY remember.... that my hand was in the phone strap while i was putting on the seat belt.
4. But Kak Long asked me whether i felt i was holding something when i leaned in front to look at HER hp and i didnt feel it
5. but then again it might be bcos i reached out with my left hand when it was in my RIGHT hand
6. then i alighted from the car up to the office.
i called Kak Long to look for it in the car. if she could pick it up then i meet her during lunch time to take it. but she said she couldn't find it.
i tried calling it but it was switched off! The very first thing a hp stealer would do!
I called home to ask if it's there... they searched on the table, in my room, near the door... to no avail. kak ly tried calling my hp... but when she received the mail box she actually left a msg for the stealer to Give it back! heheh that's funny of course the stealer can't access to my voicemail. hehe cute lah Kak Ly. Then she said oh ok she will sms then.
I retraced step 6. i searched the pavement along the road.... i looked ON the road where it might accidentally being dropped. But i hope kak Long is right... if it had dropped it would have made some noises.. which i totally didnt hear... it should be somewhere in the house or car...... NEWS just in... Ayah has double checked the car.... and no sign of it anywhere.... Kak Long has a feeling its at home. i really really really really really pray and hope this is so.
This is VERY materialistic of me... but if the photos were all backed up, the sms in sim card, then the only reason why im crying is i know i cant afford to buy the same phone again without contract. i've checked when i suspended the line, it's $678.
Lessons learnt:
1. Always be careful and caring to your loved ones
2. Take things seriously
3. Detach yourself from worldly things
4. Buy something cheap.
(I'm trying very hard to put these lessons in positive sentences rather than negative ie: Don't take things for granted, don't be too attached with wordly things and don't buy expensive items)
Oh Allah... I'm sorry i only remember you when i'm down and sad or when i have a problem. But please you know how badly i wanna be a good Muslim.... Please let my handphone still be within my reach so i can get it back. Oh Allah please forgive me if im asking for too much, but you are the only one i depend on.... my only saviour....
Bismillahi tawakkaltu Ala Allahi wa la haula wa la Quwwata illa billahil aliyil azhim!
Sis Night Out Fri, 190107
At Work.....
As most of you would have known, i've been VERY active in multiply for the past 6 - 9months or so.... and now i have been stripped of that privilege!!Why, u ask? Well this is what happened....
"Hi Wei Seng,I have problem assessing some websites. eg: jussaemon.multiply.com Instead of loading the page it opens up this page http://www.axa.com/en/ Please advise what's the problem and help to rectify it. It's very irritating.Thank you and Regards,Julissa"
"Hello Julissa,This is your personal website right? I just check with an administrator and he has confirmed that it had been blocked ... because apparently it had been accessed too often and eat up too much of the company network's bandwidth.
Must control and surf non-work related in moderation mah.. hah.. now its too late already... cause its out of my powers to unblock sites. Sorry man, cant help in this.Regards.,Wei Seng"
"huarghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*CRY CRY CRY*
It was the only thing that keeps me going. Apparently, there's not too much work for me... Nevermind i will resort to other things......... but yes in moderation.
Thanks Wei Seng,
OK on 2nd thought, that wasn't a very tactful reply. But can't help it i was very disappointed at that point of time... luckily, he is a buddy. Speaking of which even eBuddy is blocked! I still have webmessenger to rely on.... if they block then also i think i'll just die.
At my wit's end,
The above is cut and paste from my other site i posted earlier today.
And so i hafta resort back to blogger...... but its simply just not as exciting as MULTIPLY. but that's another story...
This morning, Mike asked me to go to his house to fetch his key. Now this is a common errand for me in the previous job but one thing's diff. i get to take the cab! Wheeee.... But then again, it also means i dont get to "window shop" while doing the errand....
But i did anyway! I dropped by marina square after getting the keys to buy girls' essentials then proceeded to Esplanade to get my DVD supply for the weekend. At last i got my dearest Aamir Khan's MANN dvd. Also borrowed Hum Tum (watched it but borrowed anyway just for fun), Zameen (hope it's gonna be good) and Devdas (but this is Oldie version i was hoping for the Shahrukh Khan version......). I only took about 15 extra min. so that's ok right?
Can anyone tell me where i can get Yaadon Ki Barat? It's a very old movie and Aamir Khan, at a very young age, is in it as the youngest child!
BTW, Just dropping in to say that Mike just told me that he would discuss about my career in this company after he comes back from a meeting with HIS big boss in Paris next week. I'm quite nervous at this prospect.... bcos i hafta inform him about my not continuing studies at the said institution.... i hope he's not disappointed....
A part of me is saying he might just talk about my chatting in the office... but i doubt so cos he was all smiles when he told me about it... which brought my face to lit up on a boring quiet friday...
Oh yes PLUS this happens AFTER i approached him to ask "Will u have anything for me to do next week?" he said, "U dont have much to do?" i replied, "no, not much"
So hopefully to discuss more of what i CAN do here...
On another note, it's friday!! i have class tonight.... :( but i also have the car!! (parents, 2nd sister and her family are gone to Perth for a week) And so Kak Long and i are going to have supper at Lau Pa Sat and then catch a midnight movie at MARINA after my class. Hope to get my DRUMMING session!
See ya!

Windows 10 version 1909 (19h2)– As this is the end of September, it is expected that Microsoft is all set to finalize the "Windows 10 version 1909 (19H2)" update for the general public. Microsoft hardly talks about it's latest "1909 (19H2) update" update as it only includes the bug fixes and general improvements.
Windows 10 version 1909 (19h2)
According to a report, Microsoft's Electronic Software Download (ESDs) of Windows 10 version 1909 was spotted on Windows Update servers, suggesting that the update is around the corners.
When is windows 10 1909 release date
Microsoft is going to hold an event on 2nd October 2019 where it will announce the Surface Pro 7 and Surface Laptop 3. The company might begin rolling out the update on the same day. It is also expected that the stable build of Microsoft Chromium-based Edge browser could also be released on the same day.
Features of 1909
As official changelog is concerned, the latest version 1909 includes performance and battery efficiency improvements:
"A CPU may have multiple "favored" cores. To provide better performance and reliability, we have implemented a rotation policy that distributes work more fairly among these favored cores," the firm said.
It should be noted that the CPU performance improvements would be noticeable only on some PCs and the battery backup improvements may be applied to devices with select processors only.
Microsoft originally said that the update will be shipped as a cumulative update to devices with Windows 10 version 1903, which is supposed to refine overall updating experience.

Hawaii was the last place Grace Christiansen ever imagined she'd vacation, much less fall in love. But when her family surprises her with a cooking retreat in paradise, she is pulled—or maybe yanked—away from her predictable, safe life and thrown headfirst into the adventure of a lifetime.
Max Sharpe may make his living on the ice as a pro hockey player, but he feels most at home in the kitchen. Which is why he lives for the three-week culinary vacation he takes each year in Hawaii. Upon being paired with Grace for a cooking competition, Max finds himself drawn to her passion, confidence, and perseverance. But just when Grace dares to dream of a future beyond her hometown, Max pulls away.
Wrestling with personal demons, Max fights against opening his heart to a love he knows he should never hope for. And as his secrets unfold, Grace is torn between the safe path in front of her and what her heart truly desires. If love means sacrificing her ideal happily ever after, Grace's faith will face its toughest test yet.

When I Fall in Love by Susan May Warren is book three in the Christiansen Family series. It is a nice story that I enjoyed. I like how Max and Grace became friends and how their relationship sweet, but a different kind of love story.
Grace is a very loving, charming kind of person that takes no one for granted. She is always putting everyone ahead of her and likes to fall in the background. She feels like she never wants to leave home and never wants to be away from her family.
Max is a very highly strung person who doesn't want anyone to get to close to him. He wants to protect others and also himself.
Both Grace and Max love to cook and find themselves going to the same cooking vacation. They become partners on the vacation and find out that they really are quite comfortable being together. Will Grace overcome her shyness and will Max open his life to new adventures?
I enjoyed this book and recommend it. I think you will like it.

This has made cutting watermelon so easy and efficient. My family eats so much watermelon in the summer, I would always dread having to cube it up. This makes it so easy and helpful. Much love!
This was easy to use, and fun too! Worked very well, easy to clean.
This thing is awesome! I was skeptical that this would actually work but after giving it a try…it makes cutting up a watermelon into chunks so easy & actually kinda fun. Totally recommend.
I had to make a watermelon salad for a party. I love watermelon but hate the mess and time to cut it up. It worked AMAZING! It took less than half the time to make my salad (which everyone loved).
Makes slicing watermelon so easy. Great for parties
This is AWESOME!! Can't believe how easy it is to use! 100% satisfactory. Work better for bigger watermelon.
I received the watermelon slicer on yesterday and immediately put it to use. I am happy to report it works as advertised. It is a great accessory!! Keep in mind it works best when the meat of the watermelon is firm.
Finally….I found something to cut watermelon easily without making a mess. Glad I found these!
Makes cutting up watermelon a quick job. It was definitely faster to use this tool rather than to cut the melon with a knife. I like the size of the chunks/slices cut by this tool.
This has made cutting up a watermelon sooooo much faster. A whole watermelon can be cubed in less than 10 minutes.

Roasted Spaghetti Squash with Tomato-Garlic Sauce and Chicken Meatballs
Roasted Spaghetti Squash with Tomato-Garlic Sauce and Chicken Meatballs combined spaghetti squash, homemade tomato-garlic sauce, and purchased chicken meatballs for a quick and healthy dinner that's low-carb, low-glycemic, and gluten-free (with gluten-free sausage).

PIN Roasted Spaghetti Squash Recipe with Tomato-Garlic Sauce and Chicken Meatballs!
I'm not sure why I was a little slow to warm up to the idea of spaghetti squash as a replacement for pasta, because I certainly enjoyed it when I made Spaghetti Squash and Chard Gratin and Twice Baked Spaghetti Squash with Pesto and Parmesan. Whatever the reason (and I can't blame everything on moving, can I?) this is the very first time I've ever cooked spaghetti squash to serve with tomato sauce, and this Roasted Spaghetti Squash with Tomato-Garlic Sauce and Chicken Meatballs was really quite delish.
It's true you don't get the feel of biting into al dente spaghetti, but the trade-off for a low-glycemic Italian dinner is a pretty good one. In this recipe I used Sabatino's Roasted Garlic and Basil Chicken Meatballs, which is another one of my Costco finds, but you can use any kind of chicken or turkey meatballs that appeal to you; check the package to make sure it's low-carb and gluten-free if you care about that. And although the tomatoes in the sauce do have some carbs, this is a relatively low-carb meal if you make sure your meatballs don't have a lot of carbs, enjoy!
Maybe the hardest part of this recipe is cutting the spaghetti squash into four sections so you can season it and so it will roast a little faster. Some people recommend microwaving it for a few minutes to make it easier to cut through the skin, but I haven't had to do that. I seasoned the squash with Italian Herb Seasoning (affiliate link), and roasted it at 400F/200C for about 50 minutes. While the squash cooks make the sauce. Start by sauteeing a generous amount of freshly minced garlic in olive oil.
Then add tomatoes, tomato sauce, ground fennel, Italian herb blend, and chicken stock and simmer. While the sauce simmers, brown the meatballs. (My apologies for requiring you to dirty two pans, but I really think you need to get the sauce simmering before you cook the meatballs.)
When the meatballs are very well browned, add them to the sauce and continue to simmer. The spaghetti squash is done when it strings apart easily with a fork, but is still firm enough to stay together in strings of "spaghetti."
By now the sauce should be thickened and reduced quite a bit. I used a medium-large spaghetti squash, which made four servings, with each person getting 3 chicken meatballs and a generous amount of sauce. Serve with freshly-grated Parmesan if you have some!

Roasted Spaghetti Squash with Tomato-Garlic Sauce and Chicken Meatballs
Roasted Spaghetti Squash with Tomato-Garlic Sauce and Chicken Meatballs combined spaghetti squash, homemade tomato-garlic sauce, and purchased chicken meatballs for a quick and healthy dinner.
For Sauce and Meatballs:
- 2 T freshly minced garlic (do not use garlic from a jar)
- 1 T + 2 tsp. olive oil
- 2 cans (14.5 oz.) petite diced tomatoes
- 1 small can (8 oz.) tomato sauce
- 1/2 cup chicken stock
- 2 tsp. Italian Herb Blend
- 1/4 tsp. ground fennel
- 12 meatballs (I used Sabatino's Roasted Garlic and Basil Chicken Meatballs.)
- freshly grated Parmesan cheese for serving (optional)
For Spaghetti Squash:
- 1 medium-large spaghetti squash
- olive oil mister, to spray the squash (or you can brush it with olive oil if you don't have a mister.)
- 1 T Italian Herb Blend (see notes)
- Preheat oven to 400F/200C. Cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and then cut each half lengthwise again to make four pieces.
- Spray a baking sheet with olive oil or non-stick spray and put the spaghetti squash on the baking sheet. Spray or brush the top side of each squash with olive oil and then sprinkle each piece with about 3/4 teaspoon of Italian Herb Seasoning (affiliate link).
- Roast the squash until it strings apart easily with a fork, about 50 minutes.
- While the squash cooks, heat the 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat and saute the minced garlic just until it starts to barely show some color. (Don't overcook the garlic or it will be bitter.)
- Add the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, chicken stock, 2 tsp. Italian Herb Blend, and ground fennel and let the sauce come to a simmer.
- In another large frying pan, heat the 2 tsp. of olive oil and cook the meatballs until they are nicely browned on all sides. When meatballs are browned, add them to the sauce and continue to simmer over low heat.
- When the spaghetti squash is done, scrape each piece with a fork to shred the squash apart into "spaghetti," discarding the skin.
- Arrange the shredded squash on four plates, top each one with 3 meatballs, and spoon sauce over the top. Serve hot, with freshly grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
Recipe created by Kalyn when she discovered Sabatino's Roasted Garlic and Basil Chicken Meatballs at Costco and decided to experiment with it.
I like Italian Herb Blend from The Spice House for this recipe.
Low-Carb Diet / Low-Glycemic Diet / South Beach Diet Suggestions:
Spaghetti squash is such a low-glycemic food that it's even approved for Phase One of the South Beach Diet, and even though the tomatoes have some carbs, this this should be a good meal for most low-carb and low-glycemic diet plans.The Sabatino's Roasted Garlic and Basil Chicken Meatballs have 8 grams of fat (2 grams saturated fat) and 2 carbs in the serving size of 3 meatballs I used, which I think makes this a good choice for any phase of the South Beach Diet. (Sabatino's has no idea I am featuring their meatballs, just in case you were wondering!)

Was B.S.C.F.A. Justified in Raising Alarm on Contentious Clause?
PM Barrow says that in the face of what was happening on the ground, backed up by the Memorandum of Understanding, the new wording introduced by B.S.I. completely bypassed what was in effect the accepted protocol. So in that regard, said the Prime Minister, the B.S.C.F.A.'s alarm and hesitation in signing the agreement was quite proper, as is their demand to structure the "rejection criteria" along the lines of that already in place.
"What the farmers contend is if there is a need to put more flesh on the bone…if there is a need to develop further criteria that's fine, except those criteria would need to be agreed between the three parties – B.S.C.F.A., B.S.I. and the SCPC which the government chairs, so in effect government. It strikes me that that is altogether reasonable and I have so said to Mr. Montalvo. I gave him the form of words that it appears would satisfy the farmers, the two lawyers – his lawyer Michael Young and Chris Coye were to ensure that they were on the same page where that was concerned and of course Mr. Montalvo needed to get the authorization naturally from his principals to proceed. At ten o'clock he said to me that he hoped to have a definitive answer for me by noon today. If, as I hope, that answer is yes, I've asked the Deputy to communicate to the farmers or to Mr. Cansino, the Chairman of the Management Committee that this is where we are and if we get a positive answer by noon hopefully the Directors can meet later this afternoon, agree to sign off since they would have gotten the language they are demanding…and hopefully thereafter we can have a crop possibly at the start of next week if not sooner."

I won an ARC of this book in a giveaway Karen conducted on Twitter and I've been screaming ever since. I've always been salty about the fact that NetGalley wouldn't allow me to request One of Us Is Lying when it first released (international problems!), so winning the sequel felt amazing!
Goodreads synopsis:
Come on, Bayview, you know you've missed this.
A ton of copycat gossip apps have popped up since Simon died, but in the year since the Bayview four were cleared of his shocking death, no one's been able to fill the gossip void quite like he could. The problem is no one has the facts.
Until now.
This time it's not an app, though—it's a game.
Truth or Dare.
Phoebe's the first target. If you choose not to play, it's a truth. And hers is dark.
Then comes Maeve and she should know better—always choose the dare.
But by the time Knox is about to be tagged, things have gotten dangerous. The dares have become deadly, and if Maeve learned anything from Bronwyn last year, it's that they can't count on the police for help. Or protection.
Simon's gone, but someone's determined to keep his legacy at Bayview High alive. And this time, there's a whole new set of rules.
First things first: I loved One of Us Is Lying. I'm a huge fan of The Breakfast Club and well, murder, so obviously I loved the book. I did have a few problems with it including the misleading title, cliches, and kinda unbelievable ending, but overall it was a great 4-star read.
One of Us Is Next doesn't follow the Bayview Four from the first book though they are present throughout the story. Instead, the main characters here are Browyn's sister, Maeve, and her friends, Knox and Phoebe. Someone decides to keep Simon Kelleher's legacy alive and starts a deadly truth or dare game, something that scratches the gossip itch from after Simon's death. However, things take a turn for the worse (duh). How the main characters deal with the consequences of the truths revealed and make sense of the murky situation forms the rest of the story.
No one writes teenagers in trouble as well as McManus and it's no different in this book. Each of the characters are unique and you'll remember them long after you've put the book down.
Unlike the previous book, this one doesn't focus on the usual high school tropes of cliques and social ladders. Here, it's the deadly truth or dare game that's at the forefront. It looms quite large on the three main characters–and by extension, the Bayview Four–when they should be happily planning Ashton and Eli's wedding.
I have two complaints about the book, though, both quite similar to the ones I had with the previous book.
One, like One of Us Is Lying, it leans quite heavily on the adults are useless trope. At least in the previous book, adults were involved too despite being portrayed as useless. In this one, it's full on teenagers trying to handle high pressure situations. And that's quite unbelievable for me.
Two, once again, the big twist at the end was disappointing. I can't reveal much for fear of spoilers, but I can say this–it was more a twist with shock value than any actual value. And that, to me, was pretty anticlimactic.
Despite these two issues, the story is extremely fast-paced and irresistible–you just can't put the book down and believe me, I tried! It's both character- and plot-driven, and I'd recommend it to anyone who loves YA crime fiction.
One of Us Is Next is a thrilling, suspenseful novel about teenagers dealing with chilling problems. It has just as much intrigue and drama as the first book in the series, and is a fast-paced, don't-disturb-me-until-I-finish-this kind of a book. Fans of One of Us Is Lying will certainly love the cameos of the original Bayview Four, especially a leather-jacket-wearing, motorcycle-riding sourpuss. I know I did. 😉
If you liked One of Us Is Lying, you should definitely pick up this one too! It releases in January 2020.

Fans Offered Jessica Simpson Masks at Dallas Games
Cowboys detractors hope a sea of Jessicas will distract quarterback Tony Romo
If one Jessica Simpson may have distracted Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo, imagine what a stadium full of them could do.
The Web site Ruin Romo wants to find out. It urges fans of other NFL teams to download a Simpson mask to wear at Romo's games Saturday at Carolina and the following week at Washington.
"Help your team to victory by letting Tony Romo know the love of his life is in the stands!!!" it instructs. "Celebrate after your team wins! Spread the word to everyone you know!!"
Simpson, 27, who watched last Sunday's game from a luxury box in a pink No. 9 jersey, was blamed for boyfriend Romo's poor play and his team's loss to Philadelphia.
Cowboys fans and his teammate Terrell Owens have accused her of being a bad luck charm, though Owens apologized for his remarks, saying he was kidding.

Haddam selectman: Good prepping, great staff helped town return to normal quickly after storm
HADDAM >> As things get back to something approaching normal following the blizzard, First Selectman Paul J. DeStefano says the combination of preparation and good staff helped the town weather the storm.
"All in all, the communications were great and our emergency management team did a solid job," DeStefano said Wednesday.
That said, DeStefano acknowledged that while the state roads -- such as Route 154 -- have been widened to near normal widths, "the back roads really got pummeled."
The fight against the snow is being fought by both the town crews and by "several outside contractors that we brought in to help," DeStefano said.
Just before noon on Wednesday, DeStefano said, "Things are pretty much under control."
The state gave the town permission to dump the high volume of snow into the Connecticut River. But, DeStefano said, that permission "came with a bag of ropes" -- restrictions and regulations that were so onerous that "We are not going to use that option," DeStefano said.
Instead, "we will use some private places" to dispose of the snow, he said.
The town opened its emergency management center on Saturday, and quickly "linked in with CL&P, AT&T and Comcast as early as we could," DeStefano said.
"Thankfully, the outages were limited, but we were ready nonetheless," he said.
The town did not open its emergency shelters, given the difficulty residents would have had trying to get to them through the deep drifts. But what it did do was have volunteers standing by in case they were needed, DeStefano said.
"We also had an emergency team reaching out to the town's shut-ins to be sure they were not in harm's way," DeStefano said.
He used the reverse 911 system to get out detailed instructions and recommendations on Saturday, DeStefano said.
DeStefano said he understood that the slow pace of recovery can be vexing to some residents. But he asked for residents' patience and reminded them of the unusually heavy snow that had blanketed the town. He saved perhaps his highest praise for the efforts of the public works department crews and especially, public works Director Phil Goff.
Together, the crews and Goff's "capable management"... "made the difference in preventing this storm from becoming even a worse nightmare than it was," DeStefano said.
"Phil is like a true gladiator when he suits up for a storm," DeStefano said. "I can't say enough about his efforts."
When Goff sets out on a job like clearing away the snow, "he takes no prisoners," DeStefano said. "Haddam is lucky to have him."

The X7 moves from Europe to America for more testing in its natural home.
In September, BMW revealed the X7 iPerformance concept at the 2017 Frankfurt motor show, which previewed a future production flagship SUV with the same name. The study gave us a basic idea of how the first-ever X7 could look like and now, more than two months later, the Bavarian company is continuing work on the vehicle with a spot of testing.
Motor1.com reader Kris Hamburger sent us this fresh batch of spy photos taken in California, which show an X7 test prototype. Naturally, it's still hiding under heavy camouflage and, interestingly, it's not wearing production headlights, which we saw on a previous prototype caught testing in Europe.
The all-new X7 will be based on the CLAR platform, which already underpins the 7 Series and 5 Series, as well as the new Rolls-Royce Phantom and the upcoming Cullinan. The powertrain options will be shared with the 7 Series, which means there will be an entry-level six-cylinder engine, turbocharged four-cylinder plug-in hybrid, mid-range V8 and a mighty V12 at the top.
It's not a big surprise that BMW is testing the X7 in the United States, as the German manufacturer will actually build the final production version of the car at its plant in Spartanburg, South Carolina. Assembly is expected to begin at some point in 2018 and we probably won't see the model on sale before the second half of the year.
The first to arrive will be the standard seven-seat variant, which will be followed by a four-seater luxury model with a premium price attached. According to a recent report, BMW is considering an even more luxurious vehicle with a coupe-like shape, probably getting the X8 moniker. If approved for production, it will basically be what the X6 is to the X5 – a more stylish version, using the same technologies and wearing an even heftier price tag.

GasWeek Breakfast Debate: Innovating Europe's Energy Future: The Role of Gas
MEP Paul Rübig, Chair of the "Research & Innovation" Working Group of the EP Intergroup on "Climate Change, Biodiversity, and Sustainable Development"
Cordially invites you to the breakfast meeting
Innovating Europe's Energy Future: The Role of Gas
Europe has one of the world's most effective legislation to tackle climate change and move towards a low-carbon future. The energy mix has a central role to play, and plenty of initiatives are in place to ensure Europe will benefit from renewable energy sources and clean technologies over the next decades (the "2030 climate & energy framework", the ETS, the "Renewable Energy Directive", etc.). Innovation will be key in this process: it will have to help improve existing energy sources and pave the way for low-carbon systems.
At this event, MEPs, representatives from other EU Institutions, industry and members of the civil society will discuss how the future energy mix will benefit from the role that natural gas has to play as an innovative energy source, as well as in combination with other technologies and sources, to deliver on European climate objectives. The debate will cover domains such as power, heating, transport and innovative, renewable gas solutions.
