U.S. Women's World Cup Team Heads to New Jersey to Face Mexico in Send-Off Match on June 5 Live on ESPN2
First U.S. Soccer Match at Red Bull Arena Will Be Final International for U.S. Women Before Opening 2011 FIFA Women's World Cup against Korea DPR on June 28
CHICAGO (May 26, 2011) – The 2011 U.S. Women's World Cup Team will arrive in New Jersey on Monday for a week of training leading into its Women's World Cup Send-Off Match against Mexico at Red Bull Arena in Harrison, N.J. on Sunday, June 5. The match kicks off at 2 p.m. ET and will be broadcast live on ESPN2. Fans can also follow on ussoccer.com's MatchTracker and via Twitter @ussoccer_wnt.
Tickets starting at $22 are on sale through ussoccer.com, by phone at 1-877-727-6223 (Monday-Friday, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. ET only) and at the Red Bull Arena ticket office (open Monday-Friday, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. ET). Groups of 20 or more can obtain an order form at ussoccer.com or call 312-528-1290.Â
The game will be a rematch of the semifinal from the 2010 CONCACAF Women's World Cup Qualifying Tournament in Cancun, Mexico, last November, in which Mexico defeated the USA for the first time ever to earn an automatic berth to the Women's World Cup in Germany. The USA then had to win the third-place match of the tournament against Costa Rica and a two-game home-and-home playoff series against Italy to earn its place in the 16-team tournament.
U.S. head coach Pia Sundhage brings 22 players to New Jersey, five of them hailing from the Garden State, and will train Monday through Saturday before facing Mexico on Sunday. After the game, the players will have a break before leaving in mid-June for a pre-Women's World Cup training camp in Austria. The USA opens the 2011 FIFA Women's World Cup against Korea DPR on June 28 at Rudolf Harbig Stadium in Dresden, Germany.
The match at spectacular Red Bull Arena is the first international match for any U.S. Soccer National Team at one of the newest jewels in the growing collection of world class soccer-specific stadiums in the United States. The U.S. women have played quite a few matches in New Jersey, appearing five times at the old Giants Stadium in East Rutherford and twice in the mid-1990s at Rutgers University in Piscataway.
The match will also mark a homecoming of sorts for the five New Jersey products on the USA's Women's World Cup roster, the most of any state besides California, which also had five. Team captain Christie Rampone hails from Point Pleasant and veteran flank midfielder Heather O'Reilly is from East Brunswick. Attacking midfielder Carli Lloyd is from Delran and flank midfielder Tobin Heath is from Basking Ridge. Back-up goalkeeper Jill Loyden is from Vineland.
Sundhage and her staff head into the week of training with several unsettled issues on the final Women's World Cup roster. The U.S. lost veteran midfielder Lindsay Tarpley to a torn ACL in the match against Japan on May 14 and Sundhage is still considering replacements while veteran defender Heather Mitts is still trying to bounce back from a hamstring injury. Defender Whitney Engen and midfielder Kelley O'Hara have been called in to train with the team during the week and should be available for selection against Mexico.
Before the match against Mexico, U.S. Soccer and the U.S. Women's National Team will honor U.S. legend Kristine Lilly for her historic career. The only woman to play in five FIFA Women's World Cup tournaments, Lilly retired last January after a 23-year international career with a world-record 352 career caps and 130 goals, second in world history only to Mia Hamm.

House Passes Online Health Insurance Marketplace
ST. PAUL (AP) - The Minnesota House has passed a bill creating an online health insurance marketplace that aims to give at least 1.3 million Minnesotans a new way to purchase coverage.
The House passed the bill early Friday on a vote of 72 to 61. Most Democrats backed the bill while Republicans opposed it.
The exchanges are the centerpiece of implementing President Barack Obama's federal health care changes. States had the option of creating their own exchanges or letting the federal government do it.
The bill now faces a final test in the Senate before heading to Gov. Mark Dayton, who has promised to sign it. It establishes a new state office to manage a website where insurance companies will be able to offer coverage for sale.

One of the latest trends in wedding flowers is hanging bouquets. Here we'll explore all the myriad ways you can apply this adorable trend to your wedding decor.
There are several ways to hang bouquets. Two of the most popular options are fishing line and ribbon:
These arrangements would look great as an altar piece or behind the head table during the reception.
Single roses hung from a chandelier would make for a great addition to any small wedding reception. The vases are be easily found dollar stores and single roses can be purchased at a grocery store or florist.
Floral arrangements also look stunning hanging from trees. You can use them to highlight the ceremony area.
This bride chose to hang flowers from a string with clothespins to highlight her ceremony. This gives the ceremony a more natural and rustic feel. Obviously, flowers won't last long if they are not in water and not every type of flower would be suitable for this technique.
These bouquets can be made easily and although the may seem daunting and time consuming, they will add that punch of color to any reception or ceremony.
Personally, I like the idea of using light bulbs. You could collect them from friends and family and create a beautiful piece like the one below to display single blooms.
Hanging bouquets can also be used in combination with regular centerpieces.
As you can see there are countless variations of the hanging flower trend. Whether your wedding is ultra elegant or rustic casual, it's a perfect way to add drama to your wedding decor.

Day 15: Water, Water, Everywhere, Nor Any Drop to Drink
Maya History Meets Oh-my-ahh! Scenery
Follow the coast south of Cancun, and you come to a spot where the rich history of the Mayan people clashes with the turquoise waters of the Caribbean making for a colorful and memorable vacation for the whole family. Off-the-beaten path, the Riviera Maya feels adventurous (think Indiana Jones), but spares no comfort to the wandering tourist. We ventured down this coast while filming Travel With Kids Mexico: The Yucatan. I have fond memories of climbing pyramids like those at Coba and Tulum and enjoying the amazing wildlife both on shore (the kids loved the huge green iguanas sunbathing on the pyramid rocks) and in the water (we snorkeled with colorful fish and watched sea turtles laying their eggs).
Cancun offers fun-tastic, action-packed vacations, but if you want to get away from the crowds, and really feel like you are exploring the area, head a bit further south. About two hours south of Cancun is Tulum. Home to one of the most photographed Mayan pyramids (due to its location on a cliff hanging over the Caribbean Sea), Tulum hosts the perfect combination of history, culture and family-friendly activities.
What To Do:
Mayan Pyramids: The huge ancient cities of the Mayan people make
this Caribbean Coast unique. Hike through the forest where an opening leads to vast green fields dotted with soaring stone pyramids. Our favorite was Coba. It's about an hour from Tulum and is still being excavated, so the jungle is right there, a living part of the display. It has a much more adventure-y feel with vines covering pyramid stones and yet to be excavated mounds lurking in the shadows. It's a huge pyramid complex, so locals on three wheel rickshaws can make transport around the grounds easier on the whole family. Other popular pyramids along this coast include Tulum and Chichen Itza (about an hour and a half inland from Cancun).
The Mayan Riviera hosts several marine parks like Xel-ha and Xcaret. These parks have lots of colorful tropical fish and other marine animals in sheltered and enclosed lagoons, making snorkeling easy for kids as well as animal life abundant. We went to Xel-ha where the kids enjoyed climbing rope bridges, swinging from vines and cliff jumping. Of course, you can also join a snorkel tour or just go snorkeling right off many of the beaches here and see breathtaking underwater scenery.
One unique snorkeling trip the kids still talk about is with Hidden Worlds. Hidden Worlds takes guests on a tour of one of the longest underground rivers in the world. Don snorkel gear, climb stories below ground to explore beautiful caves where you can float just feet below amazing stalactite formations.
Shopping:About 40 minutes north of Tulum, Playa del Carmen's famous 5th Avenue offers excellent shopping. Wander the pedestrian-only streets through
vibrant boutique shops where vendors sell everything from inexpensive souvenirs to top-rate jewelry and fashion. We gave the kids a few pesos and they enjoyed negotiating prices and getting to know the locals. They also loved posing for pictures with parrots and iguanas along the street. You can also take the ferry from Playa del Carmen to Cozumel (less than an hour; leaves every couple hours, $14 adults/$9 kids) for full day of shopping, or check out the sea from a hundred feet below aboard Atlantis Submarine.
Where To Stay:
The coast near Tulum is lined with beach bungalows, but for an exceptional family vacation, try Dreams Tulum Resort and Spa. The spacious rooms and suites are set up with families in mind and pamper guests with incredible views of the crystal clear waters of the Caribbean or the lush jungles of the Yucatan. The resort is just five minutes from the Mayan pyramids and offers a splendid line up of on-site activities including sailing, kayaking, snorkeling, tennis and more. The Explorer's Club for Kids has lots of fun activities for the kid in everyone including rock wall, big-screen movies on the beach and sandcastle building contests.
How To Get There:There are lots of flights from the U.S. to Cancun, but keep in mind Tulum is two hours south of there. While you can do it on your own, it is easier, especially with kids, to have transfers pre-set. Apple Vacations' Apple Advantage program offers assistance with your entire vacation from start to end. They arrange airfare, hotel, activities and all transfers in-between. Plus, they have an English speaking representative to help you out along your way.
To find out what we did on our trip to the Mayan Riviera, watch Travel With Kids Mexico: The Yucatan. or visit Travel With Kids for more information.

Doctor, Doctor
Getting sick on vacation is no fun, but it does happen. No matter how much you prepare––eating right, getting plenty of sleep, staying away from other sick people––there's nothing you can do to entirely prevent sickness. When it does strike, especially when it's a child, it can be scary and costly. When Nathan was just four, he was running a high fever in the heart of rural Mexico. Lucky for us, a caring pharmacist directed us to a thermometer and fever reduction medicine and we were back in the business of exploring the Yucatan within 24 hours. Remember, no matter where you are, the locals get sick too and they have doctors and pharmacies to help.
Depending on where you are, the cost of recovery can be pricey. We were in New York City filming Travel With Kids New York when Seamus got an ear infection. I knew from his pain and sleep pattern that it was an ear infection, so I hoped to visit a walk-in clinic and get a prescription for an antibiotic. Unfortunately, New York was in a transition period and all of the urgent care facilities had closed down. The hotel concierge said the only urgent care places they knew of had shut their doors. We visited a couple of pharmacies and got the same message: a quick cure was a no go. Even the taxi drivers agreed, and as everyone knows they are at the heart of information in a big city. We would have to visit the emergency room. After shelling out over $1,000 and sitting in waiting rooms for the good part of a day, we found out … Seamus had an ear infection.
There was one way we could have better prepared for that, and saved some money along the way: with a service I just recently learned about called On Demand Medical Care, included with many travel insurance policies from CSA Travel Protection. Through their partnership with the "Consult A Doctor" program, I would have been able to talk to a local physician directly who could provide advice, treatment and a prescription, if appropriate. No more worrying about finding a doctor or waiting all day in the emergency room for something that isn't that serious. That is definitely worth the cost of insurance!!
We always recommend travel insurance and this product, On Demand Medical Care from CSA Travel Protection will definitely be in the mix next time we plan a trip. For more information on the service, visit www.csatravelprotection.com

The little dude above is a fella called Meco, Domenico Monardo to be exact. He was a pretty big name during the 1970's as a respected producer and trombonist. Playing on and producing records for Diana Ross, Neil Diamond, Gloria Gaynor and plenty of others. Things changed however, when in 1977 George Lucas released his cash vulture, Star Wars. Meco got pretty excited by this film. Even more excited by the stirring score courtesy of the always awesome John Williams. Meco hatched on the idea of creating a disco version. Of course, it was laughed at and not taken seriously. Who would believe that could work!
Meco believed and wouldn't let up. Luckily the score became a huge hit and the top brass relented, allowing him to see his idea through. Of course he would need a pretty sweet band to achieve this feat. The Sci-Fi Disco Band Meco was born.
Despite looking like the outcome of letting Ming The Merciless assemble the Village People, the band managed to survive on the mean streets of New York for about 4 months performing live and providing a much needed visual element to this epic onslaught of disco. And it is an onslaught. The album contains the full 15 minute Star Wars suite encompassing the opening them, Imperial March, the cool flying music bits, all those schmaltzy parts and that stupid band in the bar. It also has robots dancing on the cover.
Of course, a guy with the balls to disco a George Lucas cash cow must have a pretty sweet logo.
Meco proved the naysayers wrong. Those turkeys at MGM tried it themselves. look at the results...

Jose Bautista homered twice and Matt Morris put up a quality start as the Pirates won for the seventh time in their last eight, and continued their hard to figure out dominance of the Astros.
Rookie Troy Patton, making his ml debut, wasn't bad, but he wasn't great, specifically with his changeup and Bautista welcomed him to the bigs with two bombs to that short porch in left, one of a change over the middle of the dish in the fourth. Oh and Josh Phelps hit another home run off the bench. It's starting to become hard to ignore the numbers he has put up in his short time with the Bucs.
Morris, in his short time with the Bucs, has been quite the roller coaster. After a first few starts that were anything but special, he has ripped off two straight quality starts. Against the Astros he allowed one run on four hits over six innings, including inducing Lance Berkman into a huge double play with the bases loaded.
-Paulino had three hits, Bautista had three RBI
-Wilson left the game with a shin injury that looked worse than I think it was. Ty Wigginton caught Jack with a spike during a breakup slide on a DP, however, I think Jack just got cut up a little and should have a good bruise but no real damage
-Torres hit the DL retro to Aug 22nd
-Maholm will bump up a day and throw game 2 on Tuesday vs. the Reds
In Indy, N. Morgan had two hits, Cutch was 0 for 3, Pearce had a hit, Walker was 0 for 4 and Sharpless gave up a run in one inning.
Wandy Rodriguez vs. Tony Armas on Sunday
I have a fantasy football draft at noon. If I get first pick I am taking Danny Moskos, since he isn't busy with game action anymore or anything.

List of 2010's Endangered Species
1) Tiger
The Tiger population has been greatly affected by two main things; poachers and the destruction of their habitat.
Tiger parts serve many purposes in places such as China, where the meat is a delicacy and the body parts used in traditional medicines.
With the cost of Tiger parts being so high, this has made hunting Tigers an irresistible prospect to poachers who wish to get rich quick at the cost of eradicating the Tiger population.
Destruction of the Tiger habitat means that today, the range of the Tiger is only 7% of what it used to be - once stretching across Siberia and Indonesia. In addition, the estimated area that Tigers were thought to have occupied in recent years has shrunk by 41%.
2) Polar Bear
The 2008 World Conservation Union report puts the population of Polar Bears at 20,000 to 25,000 and declining.
According to the WWF, the Polar Bear gives an indication of the health of Arctic ecosystems. An issue with the Polar Bears is often a sign of further problems within the ecosystem.
Polar Bears have also suffered due to chemicals and pesticides absorbed from a diet containing large amounts of blubber, in which these contaminants concentrate. They are said to be among the most contaminated of animals in the Arctic.
3) Pacific Walrus
From 1700 onwards, the walrus was heavily hunted by sealers and whalers,
leaving them almost locally extinct in the Atlantic region.
Walrus hunting is now regulated in the US, Canada, Denmark and Russia as well as other representatives of other hunting communities. An estimated 4-7,000 walruses are hunted in Alaska and Russia, and many hundreds removed around Greenland. It is difficult to calculate how sustainable these levels actually are due to uncertain population figures.
Because the ice around their habitat has become thinner over the year, it has become difficult for walruses to find 'land' to give birth or to find areas to rest. This continued loss of habitat is making it difficult for the population to grow or sustain itself.

4) Magellanic Penguin
Although millions of these penguins still live on the coasts of
Argentina and Chile, they are still said to be a threatened species
because of how vulnerable they are to oil spills.
Every year, oil spills kill approximately 20,000 adults and 22,000 young.
Another factor is the decline of fish stocks, attributed to changing
conditions in the water forcing them to swim further north.
This means an increased distance to travel for food while their young starve.

5) Leatherback Turtle
The leatherback turtle is the largest of all sea turtles alive today.
They do not have many natural predators but are extremely vulnerable
as juveniles. Birds and other mammals dig up the nests and eat their eggs.
Even the ones that do hatch and make it to the water are preyed on by other hunters in the sea. Only few make it to adulthood.
Although the direct threat by humans isn't particularly great, human activity
still has an extensive effect.
Fishing boats sometimes catch the turtles, which despite being released back to
the water die from injuries or exhaustion.
Pollution both from chemicals and litter also can be fatal - the turtles sometimes
dying from plastic or bags which are eaten because they resembled their jellyfish prey.
6) Bluefin Tuna
The global demand for sushi has caused a decline in the tuna populations because of
overfishing. Even though controls have been put into place to prevent this, due
to their long distance migrations they fall into unprotected regions and fall victim
to other fishing fleets.
Even though the fish is farmed in Japan and Australia, the yields are lower than other
fish farms ensuring the price is kept high for both varieties of fish.
For an example of just how lucrative fishing this species is, a bluefin tuna was sold in Tokyo for
a record $396,000.
7) Mountain Gorilla
The mountain gorilla population is estimated to be 790 as of Spring 2010.
The main threats they face are poaching, loss of habitat and disease.
Mountain gorillas are generally not hunted for meat, but their heads, hands
and feet which are sought after by collectors. They can also be injured by
traps set for other animals, which can result in death.
The theft of infants from their families also usually ends in the death of an
adult, who will fight to the end to protect them. The infants are sold on as
pets or to zoos and researchers.
The forest habitat of the gorillas is reducing, being encroached on by the
human settlements around it and their need for resources. Logging and burning
results in the permanent destruction of their living environment.
Diseases are spread to the gorillas via humans. Although humans can combat
illness due to their developed immunities, the gorillas often cannot.
8) Monarch Butterfly
The Monarch Butterfly is one of the more recognisable butterflies, from its
orange and black pattern.
They are especially notable because of the long annual migrations they undertake,
typically flying southward in North America in August until winter, where they
hibernate. In Spring,they begin to fly north again.
The migration typically moves at a pace of around 50 miles per day, although some
butterflies have flown longer distances.
The WWF in collaboration with the Mexican Fund for the Conservation of Nature has
designed a conservation strategy to protect the winter habitat of the butterflies
in Mexico.
9) Javan Rhinoceros
The Javan Rhinoceros is possibly the rarest large mammal on earth. There are
only two known populations out in the wild and none kept in zoos, and is therefore
classed as critically endangered.
The decline in population of the rhinos is due to poachers hunting them for their
horns, which are valued at approximately $30,000 per kilo.
Loss of habitat due to farming has also contributed to their decline, although this
is not as consequential any longer as the rhinos live in two nationally protected parks.
In 1975, the rhino was protected when the Convention on International Trade in
Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora went into effect.
10) Giant Panda
A 2007 report shows that 239 pandas were living in captivity in China and about
26 outside the country. The species is classified as an endangered; under threat
from the destruction of its habitat and the fact that the birthrate is very low.
The Giant Panda is one of the world's most easily identifiable animals, and because of its inhabitant status gained the area a UNESCO World Heritage Site designation. The Sichuan Giant Panda Sanctuaries were added to the list of other sites in 2006.
Today it is believed that conservation efforts are working; the panda population may be as large as 3,000. The number of reserves have also increased to 40, compared to 13 reserves two decades ago.

Most of us know that the United States Postal Service has been in a tough spot for a while. Any business operating at a cost deficit is dangerous. Yet, how does a government agency so depended upon by so many politely bow out of providing valued services? Well, the "cats out of the bag," or at least the mailbags of postal carriers, as most forms of mail will not be delivered on Saturdays beginning in August. There are some positives and negatives to view in light of this coming development.
The Positives
Vacations- Us
We won't have to worry about mail that is delivered to us on weekends when we are out of town on business or pleasure. The nuisance of having to ask friends, family, or neighbors to pick it up and place it in a more secure place is going to be a thing of the past.
Vacations- Them
Mail carriers who normally work on this day will now be able to enjoy a full weekend off like the rest of us. This, in a sense, gives them a kind of mini-vacation each working week. This new found freedom may make some carriers feel even more akin to the red, white, and blue present in the American flag compared to those present in their uniforms.
The Negatives
Lack of Time Sensitive Mail
Those of us who depend upon Saturday to be a day to receive important letters or other correspondence will have to put our expectations on hold. This means yet one more day to "wait out" to receive it. Any crucial financial paperwork or checks cannot be counted on to arrive this day.
Lack of Essential Income in an already Struggling Economy
On the flip side of the coin, postal carriers who now have Saturdays off may lose a full days pay. Some who choose this occupation have come to accept working on this day as "part of the territory" and the need to profit from it. This turn of events is to their loss.

LONDON, Feb 8 (Reuters) - Broadband provider TalkTalk said it would raise up to 200 million pounds ($278 million) through a placing to strengthen its balance sheet after a drive to invest in the business forced it to cut its full-year earnings forecast.
TalkTalk, which spooked investors in November when it lowered guidance and cut the dividend, said it expected full-year 2018 core earnings to come in between 230 million to 245 million pounds.
It had previously forecast earnings toward the bottom end of a 270 million to 300 million pound range. ($1 = 0.7196 pounds) (Reporting by Kate Holton, Editing by Paul Sandle)

In your bag No: 831 – Oh Chareonlarp
In your bag /
by Bellamy /3 min read
In your bag 831,Oh Chareonlarp
A lovely bag for you from a long time lurker. Oh shares this cool mix of film, digital and hygiene products. Check it out.
I'm Oh from Bangkok, Thailand. Photography for me is entirely hobby but slowly been taking over my life. In any given day I do takes photo – at least one photo to get me going with daily inspiration on photography. You all can take a look of my snap at my Flickr (www.flickr.com/ohaday) and Facebook (www.facebook.com/ohaday). I started photography about 10 years ago, starting with tiny Fuji Finepix F410 I got from Japan. Then it evolves to Fuji S5600 for little more enthusiasm. Then I jumped into Canon 400D and later Canon 50D. Up to one point, I realized it is pretty heavy to carry those behemoths around, so I sold DSLR and enters into micro four thirds world.
In my usual mode, I normally hit the day with medium Timbuk2 Classic Messenger and 3 cameras.
– Olympus E-M5 with normally Olympus 17mm f/1.8 attached on. Option includes Olympus 45mm f/1.8, Panasonic-Leica 25mm f/1.4, Voigtlander 40mm f/1.4, and Olympus OM 50mm f/1.2. There is also nice little BCL-1580 Body Cap Lens which totally amaze me! This is camera to go when I know I will be taking some serious photos.
– Ricoh GRD III – my everyday-with-me camera. I got this nice little gems at 2nd hand shop for about $100 and it has never let me down. Literally this camera goes with me anywhere, especially on daily commute to work which I did not bring Olympus E-M5 out.
– Olympus mju-1 – the camera which got me into film photography. Simple operation and sharp lens, nothing could go wrong with this tiny camera.
– A bunch of film, usually Kodak UltraMax and Ilford 400 for BW moment.
– Notebook with pens for idea logging.
– Headphones (with *tangle-free* cable)
– Nivea Deodorant – OK, Thailand is a hot place. When you are in hot place, you sweat. When you sweat, you get stinky. And this is what I need for the day.
– Irish Spring Bar Soap – not as you all would expected, I rarely take shower outside my home. Since I've been using this bag everyday for a while now, it get weird smell. So I simply put the bar soap in the bag and let it cleanse those smell with moisture blast!
Have a nice day!
ps. If anyone got a comment on the photo I took on Flickr, please feel free to tell me! I would love to hear what other people think of them..
Thanks for sharing your bag and your deodorant. I hear you on the hot place thing.
Check out the links and make sure you come and comment.
Keep them coming folks, we need more submissions, so get your bag on Japancamerahunter.com. Send me a hi resolution image of the bag (please make sure it is horizontal) and its contents, with some details about yourself and what you shoot. Oh and don't forget your contact details (twitter, flickr, tumbler et al). Send the bag shots here. Please understand that there is a long wait now as there is a backlog of submissions. Not all make the cut, so make sure yours is funny/interesting/quirky. And please make sure the shot is of good quality, as the ones that are not do not go up.

Really impressive photos on your Flickr, Oh. Keep on the nice work. The passion shows.
Damn I had the same problem, I just sold my 50D and got the em5, also awesome pictures.
Man, you've got some really nice stuff on your flickr site – well done!
Hello Oh, I enjoyed it to look at yout pictures in flickr! I think you have some really good shots there!!! Best regards from another photo madhead… :-) keep on rollin' Alex
Digging the Ricoh love!
Hey guys!
Thanks everyone for the comments! It's really nice hearing an opinion from other across the continent. I'm sure to keep up a good work on taking awesome photo!

KIRBYVILLE - A wonderful gesture in Kirbyville this weekend when two flag football teams, the host Wildcats and the visiting Newton Eagles, allowed a boy with autism to score two touchdowns during the game.
Patrick Going, the son of Richard and Amy Going, got to see their son score before the game and at halftime. The idea was to allow Patrick to carry the ball into the endzone once, but the kids from Newton had so much fun cheering him on the first time, rumor has it they asked the coaches if they could let Patrick score again at halftime.
Patrick has developmental delay, but on Saturday morning, he was absolutely on point, giving high fives and tell 12 News that he was definitely the MVP.
A shoutout to the coaching staffs in Newton and Kirbyville for helping teach life to these athletes and not just wins and losses over a game.

1. Argan Oil
I've heard a ton of rumours about argan oil helping hair growth blah... blah... blah... So I finally went out to buy some. I only popped into the pound shop to try out a cheap oil before buying an expensive oil and OMG... This stuff is like unicorn glitter in a bottle! Especially considering my hair is the type to grow once it has been trimmed and the type that does not grow past me shoulders. All I had to do was apply 4 - 5 drops of the oil and rub my hands then apply to your hair when you towel dry it. Honestly, if you have hair like mine I truly recommend you try argan oil.
2. The Miniaturist - By Jessie Burton
Of course I was reading this month! I have fallen in-love with this book! It has inspired me to write my own novel (who knows how long that will take!). I don't want to reveal too much of the novel but if you love novels that were set back in the olden days focusing on family issues and mysterious coincidences then pick this book up! Would really like to meet Jessie. If you have read this book, let me know how you found it!
3. Nicki Minaj Perfume - Onika
If you like a perfume that's not too strong but also a mixed fruity/floral scent then pick this up! It's close to a Victoria Secret Body Mist but with a kick. The reason I have been obsessing over this perfume is because it's PERFECT! Not only because it is Nicki Minaj but it is such a beautiful scent. I feel very powerful when I wear this fragrance and I am in need of some more :D
4. Jacob's Cream Crackers
Mmmm... FOOD! I had to throw in food somewhere :) Okay, don't judge me but lately, I have been loving these crackers!!! This is how I make my snacks:
1 - Take a cracker and butter the smooth side with butter or cream cheese (Philadelphia to be precise)
2 - Place 2 cooked chicken slices and fold so that it is the same size as the cracker
3 - Add any veggies you want (i.e. lettuce)
4 - I sometimes add potatoes if I have made any but that's optional
5 - Take another cracker and butter the smooth side and then lay it on top and Wallah!
That's your delicious snack made! Veggies, Carbs, Fat and Protein!
That's all for my June Obsessions, if you try/buy any of the items above let me know :D
Lots of Love,
Yasmin xo

Hi guys LOL I am baccck. again, with LOADS of cafe hopping posts, so just bare with me. Abit lazy to elaborate so.. Yup I finally accomplished all the places I ever wanted to try their waffles at already!! Went to D.O.C two sundays back with my cousin on a bright Sunday afternoon. ^^ Rarely go cafe hunting on weekends though its the best timing for all the brunch menus, but I hate squeezing with crowds, so ya.
My favorite sunnies, and I really love the tanjiong pagar area.. Other than cafes, korean bbq restaurants and hidden finds. This area is sooo good to take OOTDS hahaha.
Always wanted to do this pose but in real i just look really stupid especially in my stupid puffy pants hahahaha
Spot the nice number there hehe kiddingz
this area is so cute and my sandals actually gave me blisters for a week after :(
Picture with my cousin Tania, while waiting for seats at D.O.C since we didn't make any reservations. Glad that we could have this meetup session to really catch up, we have been really close since young, just that we are older now, and I'm kinda on a more 'playful' side unfortunately, but my cousin is really smart! :) (not saying I am not smart tho hehehe) We could still talk really well so yup xo
Department Of Caffeine (D.O.C)
15 Duxton Road
Singapore 089481
Mon to Fri: 10.30 am - 7.30 pm
Sat & Sun: 9.30 am - 7.30 pm
Tel: +65 6223 3426
A really humble space which has limited seating capacity, but still, DOC still stands out as one of my favorite cafes ever! that I have visited recently, I'll definitely go back again!:)
Cause we arrived rather late in the afternoon, so some dishes I wanted to try were already sold out, so we had to make do with others!
my cuzzie :)
Iced Mocha ($6.50)
My Iced mocha cause I totally prefer sweeter drinks and I am not a coffee person unlike my cousin. But this was surprisingly good in my opinion :)
Iced Latte ($6.50)
Tania's more bitter iced drink which I felt was not too bad too, just has more espressos in it, I suppose? More caffeine taste!
And the weather was so damn bloody hot that day so Tania didn't order her usual latte art-ish (HOT coffee) which I'll never order no matter how cold the weather is. Cold drinks ftw!
D.O.C Breakfast ($18.50)
Made up of Scrambled Eggs, Bacon wrapped Meatloaf on toasted Brioche, Tomato Confit & Cheese Bocconcini.
We loved the cheese bocconcini at the side. Soo good. And the scrambled eggs at DOC was reallyyyyyyy good, goes so well with the toasted bread. Not forgetting the ham tasting meatload between the toast and the scrambled eggs with tania liked. Looks simple but tastes Thumbs up!
Satisfied me :)
Sundried Tomato & Herbs Waffle ($16.50)
Normally I wouldn't go for two waffles, since waffles can be extremely filling, but I have mentioned that we came late and most of the items we wanted was already unavailable, and this combo of salted ingredients with waffles was the first I have ever saw, so we decided to try this!
And of course the scrambled eggs did not disappoint once again. And the salted actually goes pretty well with the savory waffles. But I guess I wouldn't pour all my honey syrup on it the next time round. Cause it just made the crispy bacons taste like ba-kwa (honeyed pork) which I rather it taste more salty!
Buttermilk Waffles with Butter Rum Bananas ($14)
Airy and adequately flavored waffles with crispy edges, with a scoop of Vanilla Bean Ice-cream.
This on the other hand WAS EVEN BETTER, idk if its the weather or okay I admit, I have a weakness for ice-creams, but this definitely wins Strangers' Reunion's hands down. Everything went so perfectly well together. I loved this! No wonder it's the top 5 best waffle in SG!
No G.S.T. !! Bill came up to 62 SGD.
It was such a wonderful brunch and I really dig DOC loads now :)
btw you can read the rest of my waffles finding journalese below:
Great day despite the killer weather :)
And last week, I went town with Jess to do some errands!
ootd with my red headbands hehe
Oriole Cafe and Bar
96 Somerset Road
#01-01 Singapore 238163
Mon to Thurs: 11 am - 11 pm
Fri & Sat: 11 am - 12 pm
Sun: 10.30 am - 11 pm
Tel: +65 6238 8348
Dined at a rather convenient location in town, place can get really crowded at night esp on weekends as the ambiance is really good for crowds to chill there. Its one of the best place to have coffee at! So do drop by here its another alternative than having starbucks in town. Just next to 313, where you're gonna walk to Cine from 313 Shopping Mall.
Other than coffee, we settled our dinner here. They serve quite a variety of mains and pastas as well.
Fish & Chips ($19)
Lightly Battered Snapper Loin with super DELICIOUS homemade potato wedges.
Lady iron chef actually claimed as one of the best fish and chips he has eaten before. I guess its not bad but I really just loveeee the potato wedges that comes with it. So good!
have to camwhore with my chips LOL
Beef Cheek Tagliatelle ($22)
Red wine braised beef cheek that is so tender and juicy with mushroom and a pasta (which looks like the singaporean meepok haha!)
One of their most recommended and raved about pasta. Maybe cause I don't usually like drinking red wine, so it wasn't exactly in favor with me, but I guess you could give it a try, but I guess I want to try their other pastas there the next time round!
Honey Crumble Affogato ($9.50)
Coffee based dessert consists of Vanilla Ice Cream, Espresso and crunchy Honeycomb bits.
First time trying quite the unique display of dessert. Everything goes quite perfectly together, and the tasting of espressos actually amazed me and this dessert basically have proven the coffee standard that Oriole Cafe & Bar has set after their award winning coffee barista owner.
Bill was around 60 SGD. Its a good place to come here to chill with ur pals in town!
after fooling around (explains the animated gif) and shopping (something I rarely do in sgp I have no idea why)
We headed over to fareast and got like bubble tea and crepes! This new crepe shop opened next to Ding Tea. (the standard bubble tea shop there) and the crepes were actually pretty good! Like might be even better than the ones I usually eat at JB.
Party nights TGIW
Twins + Davis
w mai twin
and a good TGIF start on fri with nicko and her friends........... :)
and trishy :)
luckily wenmin still found the night rather amusing. Once in a blue moon she clubs and has to takecare of the burden LOL
and the usual burden shan going strong eh
with one of the guys, shaun!
Another night last week where I had dinner with Rachelle! :)
Malaysian Local Delights
224 Tanjiong Katong Road
Singapore 437014
Tel: +65 6440 8378
No GST charge for the place, but this could be a new supper place now you guys no longer need to drive into malaysia for loklok anymoreeeee, anws if I am not wrong the total bill would be discounted based on the timing you dine in. The later the further the discount.
Especially around 10.30 pm - 1.30 am?
For the buffet loklok option, adult/child nett price on weekdays would be slightly cheaper than on fri & weekends. We paid around 24.80 each. Bill was around 50 SGD, but our timing had like 2% off total bill discount? LOL 1 SGD, maybe we came too early hahaha.
took quite abit of everything to try. I really love clams and prawns and my button mushrooms in my loklok.
cute angry bird fishcakes which I guess are just for decoration purposes only. But I love my fish maws & quail eggs! :)
You can dip these food into your hotpot to cook it! You may think of it as like a steamboat kinda style. And two choices of broths soups will be available among all on the menu, ranging from tomyam, penang prawn soup, chicken soup and more.
We settled for Sichuan Mala Soup and Satay 'soup'
I guess satay is a must order cause loklok usually goes the best with satay sauce.
But I actually found the satay sauce which I had at this loklok stall at Old Airport Road to be nicer.
So the broth chose before the satay should be chosen very wisely! Cause we are supposed to cook all the meats in it before dipping them into the satay. Abit regretted ordering mala cause there were super many pepper kind of balls in them which really numbs ur tongue everytime me and rachelle accidentally bites on them HAHAHA we were just so wary man..
So next time, any other broths to cook just not mala!!! made my horrid rashes come back after that maybe cause it was too spicey-full. I can take spicy ok.
with my angry bird fishcakes which I already told you is for picture purposes onlyyy
ate like hundred plus sticks~ but I guess this place is only favorable for people with huge appetites, like you can just spam endlessly since it's buffet style. Drinks, fruits, dessert (like jellies and beancurd depends) are unlimited, we took loads of servings of herbal drinks~
but I personally still prefer and rather go back to the
stall located at old airport road. Somehow i the lok lok tastes nicer there? Might be cause of the satay sauce they provide though! Cause the ingredients would be around the same and there might be a bigger variety here.
So its a personal preference! :)
anyways with rachelle on wed when she was high and will agree to take pictures wimmee
Last but not least, another one of my favorite hidden gems in singapore~ just that the food prices are more steep there.
The Coastal Settlement
200 Netheravon Road
Singapore 508529
Tues to Sun: 10.30 am - 12 am
(Last orders at 9.30 pm)
(& unless mon is a public holiday or eve)
Tel: +65 6475 0200
A super hidden find of a gem in the east. More accessible by car of course. Awesome ambiance of the village home-like environment that offers savory western and asian dishes. Reservation is recommended. I wouldn't want you guys to sit on the outside areas (which I did on my first visit) cause its surrounded by greenery and nature, which means more mosquitoes too as well!
Large seating capacity and I really loveeeeeee the interior dining area of the place, super chill-lax, can be great for birthday celebrations!
Horlick Milkshake ($6)
One of my top favourite drinks for now! THIS WAS SO GOOD, I will just go back to TCS and order on cup of this again and chill there now man.
yumyum Imma pig
Calamari ($14)
Decent dish, but i would prefer if the batter was more crispy and thicker. Kind of spicy too infused with some spices, served with a interesting mayo dip above a passion fruit which the fruit bits can be mixed with the sauce to get a more tangy and sour dip taste.
Waygu Beef & Mushroom Pizza ($23)
One of the best-sellers, which I re-ordered on my second visit!!! It would be almost every table's order. A large cracker-like crust was used as the base with Mozzarella and Cheddar Cheese so that one could still savor the smoky and chewy super awesome char-grilled Waygu Beef, Sauteed Mushrooms and Caramelized Onions on the pizza.
Waffle with Ice Cream ($16)
A new waffle hidden location in Singapore?
I guess their waffle's components will be randomly matched for you at different occasions
(maybe the kitchen has more chocolate icecream instead of times where more vanilla icecream is available?) I don't know but, the waffles were still really up to my fluffy savory waffle standards along with the icecream and other compotes, maple syrup and fruits. hehe
Bill was around 70 SGD, you are paying for the good quailty of food, service and ambience, great for dates ;) and I had to take mandatory shots with the pretty antique cars even though I had no makeup and was dressed like a beggar hahaha.
hope you guys enjoyed my post! Bombarding with so much food recently....... I am getting so fat.

|Type of store
|What the store does
|Tesco Extra
|are large out of town hypermarkets that stock nearly all Tesco's product ranges
|Tesco Superstore
|Are standard large supermarkets, stocking groceries and a much smaller range of non-food goods than Extra stores. Normally branded just as Tesco
|Tesco Metro
|Tesco Metro stores are sized between Tesco superstores and Tesco Express stores. Normally located in city centres
|Tesco Express
|Tesco Express stores are neighbourhood convenience stores, stocking mainly food with an emphasis on higher-margin products
|One Stop
|One Stop, which includes some of the smallest stores (smaller than a Tesco Express), is the only Tesco store format in the UK that does not include the word Tesco in its name. By gaining one stop Tesco have expanded its market share by gaining a different consumer group than that their superstores get.

text: Hello! If everything would be so simple (developers ignoring i18n issues about their programs), I bet, most of these problems would be fixed already... I can tell from my experience: a) I ported evo internals to utf-8. As a result it folders are crap in filemanagers (folders are ordinary directories) for most locales. What to do - no easy solution available. If app would deal extensively with files it would be a bigger problem. What to do - write ugly wrappers - parse locale - ... It is certainly not the thing, that application programmers are interested to do. So it is simpler to delay the problem, until there appear some consensus about filesystem localiszing. But, as I said, if your application deals extensively with files, there may be very little other to fix. b) sodipodi has to support libxml1, as that is the 'official' gnome 1.4 xml library. I.e. no utf-8 support. And I refuse to add support for legacy 8-bit encodings - so the problem simply has to be delayed (or somebody else has to code legacy support). OK. these were examples, but I am sure, there are more problems. As of common file formats/protocols, I agree - if spec requires certain encodings, these have to be supported. But - as is the case with SVG/libxml1 - you cannot expect application programmers to fix underlying system - and usually there are other things to do, while waiting for underlying i18n to mature... P.S. I strongly support the idea of full-time i18n hacker for Gnome.

The home run comes from Houston Astros slugger Carlos Lee, a native of Panama who owns a ranch in his native country as well as a ranch south and west of Houston. Lee toured the coastline earlier this week in a helicopter with Texas Ag Commissioner Todd Staples and, struck by the hurt that is out there in ranch country, donated $25,000 and 300 bales of hay to the ranch relief efforts.
"As a cattleman, this can happen to anybody," Lee said. "That's why I'm here today, to make a donation and to help. I'm going to donate $25,000 to this cause. That can help us get started. If everybody does a little bit at a time, I think we can help. If this happens to you, you want to feel like there's help out there."
Lee and Staples estimated they saw to 2,000 to 3,000 stray cattle from the air as they toured the hardest hit areas along the coast between Galveston and the Louisiana border.

Today I found myself lost. I wasn't lost in a literal sense of the word, but emotionally I was in uncharted territory.
At a crossroads, the trajectory of my life is about to change. A storm is brewing on the horizon and emotional turmoil overwhelms my senses. Change is hard; inevitable and necessary, but hard nonetheless.
Over the past 2 years I've undergone significant growth. While growth is good, it comes with a hearty side of growing pains. Growth has lead me to examine my values and beliefs. And I have discovered that my house of cards is built on a shoddy foundation. I no longer value consumerism. I'm striving for freedom, rather than the confines of debt. I value passion and creation which seem to be increasingly scarce. Not only am I no longer content with the status quo, I'm completely unable to tolerate it. The constant pursuit of more, to impress others, is no longer my ideal. The life I have invested years in designing now disgusts me and leaves me in an utter state of discontent. I now know that it is time to keep moving.
Don't misunderstand, I am grateful for the roof over my head, for my job, and for the stability that has offered me many opportunities and experiences. And for the first time in my life, I'm truly grateful, on a heart wrenching level, for all of my worldly possessions. I am finally feeling the emotional weight of these belongings. I am feeling every hour of work invested in each of these items. I feel the weight of the hands that toiled to make the fabric I'm wearing and picked the food that I eat. I'm feeling the weight of every decision, in a long line of decisions, that has led me to this position. This weight is crushing me.
But there is hope in knowing that this too shall pass. This moment, this year, this way of life shall pass because I will choose intentionally to move in a new direction.
On the horizon I can see freedom. I can feel peace, knowing that my life looking forward will be the epitome of intentionality. A path leading to a life well curated is sure to be full of surprises and pitfalls, but looking at that horizon, I know where I'm meant to be.

Ukrainian Filmmakers Want Fired State Cinema Agency Head Reinstated
Katerina Kopylova, fired by new Kiev authorities, is widely believed to have helped establish an efficient state film funding system.
MOSCOW -- Ukrainian filmmakers are demanding that Katerina Kopylova, former head of the country's state film agency who was fired by the country's new authorities, be reinstated in her position.
Kopylova, who played a major role in establishing the agency and then headed it, was fired last month under one of the first decisions by the new Ukrainian government, which replaced that of ousted president Viktor Yanukovych, without any explanations.
STORY: Russia's Filmmakers Clash With West Over Ukraine, Split Over Crimea
Igor Savichenko, executive director of the Ukrainian film association and one of the proponents of reinstating Kopylova as head of the film agency, told The Hollywood Reporter that her activities at the helm of the agency were totally positive.
Under Kopylova, state funding for the film sector increased from almost nothing to $17.5 million a year, while the procedure for selection of projects to be funded was made more transparent thanks to the introduction of pitching sessions opened to the public.
STORY: Former Russia Today Anchor Liz Wahl Reveals Details of Her Spontaneous On-Air Resignation
However, chances that Kopylova will be reinstated at the helm of the film agency are not very good, Savichenko said. "Too many factors are in play," he said. "There are also other candidates for the position, who insist that the pitching sessions were just idle talk and who would prefer to return to Soviet-style practices whereby all decisions are made behind closed doors."
Kopylova was not available for comment at the time of writing, but she told THR earlier this week that she planned to stay in the film sector, although not yet decided in what capacity.

Agfa to Outsource Some Platesetter Production, New Technology Center to Enhance CtP Platform
Wednesday, July 14, 2004
Press release from the issuing companyJuly 14, 2004 -- (WhatTheyThink.com) -- Agfa has announced plans to outsource some of its prepress manufacturing and will operate a new Graphic Imaging Technology Center from Wilmington, MA. The new center will focus on further enhancements to Agfa's CtP imaging technologies and platforms. Susan Wittner, Agfa's director of marketing for the Graphic Systems division says that while the business outlook is improving, the downward effect on printers' profit margins remains. "The printing industry has been affected by global economic conditions, technological changes and consolidation on various levels. There is a need to continually ensure our customers that they are investing in the most advanced and cost-effective technology. Agfa is committed to further innovation in the area of CtP and is positioned to continue to capitalize on the most advanced and cost effective technology to accomplish this." Agfa will move a number of their platesetters to key partners trained in Agfa technology. Says Wittner, "In many cases, they are the same partners we have done joint development work with in the past. Agfa will continue our active role in enhancing Agfa technology, now together with even more resources." The new Wilmington, MA-based Graphic Imaging Technology Center will focus on customer satisfaction with the objective of ensuring quality, value and cutting edge technology. "Customers will not experience any disruptions or see decreases in the level of service and support they currently get from Agfa," said Wittner. The Graphic Imaging Technology Center will continue to be housed in Wilmington, MA. In addition, quite a number of Agfa's North American employees will continue to reside there. Mark Barrett, who has been the head of EPP Product Development, Graphic Systems, will lead Agfa's new Graphic Imaging Technology Center. He will report to Jan Van Daele, head of global Graphic Systems Imaging Solutions. Mark joined Compugraphic Corporation in 1979 and holds technical BS and MS degrees as well as a MBA. He has spent most of his career in various product development positions but has also worked as a product marketing manager and as the Director of Marketing and Field Service for Agfa's Japanese subsidiary in Tokyo from 1994 through 1997. Russ Spencer, head of EPP, will lead the outsourcing process and plans to retire after the outsourcing project is complete.

text: New fund challenges the liberal bias of traditional SI funds If you thought socially invested funds were the only game in the agenda-drive investing game, you have not been paying attention. A new U.S.-based wealth management firm is extending the concept of agenda-driven investing to whole new level, so-called "patriotic" investing. Arlington-Virginia-based Freedom Capital Investment Management has drawn press attention lately for being the first investment manager to extend the concept of mission-directed capital investing beyond traditional "liberal" bounds. The fund, dedicated to what the firm calls Patriotic Responsible Investing, advances the concept of agenda-based to "invest capital profitably in opportunities that strengthen America and its allies" through investments energy independence, American military security, Second Amendment rights, North American agricultural independence, weapons and munitions, cyber-security, energy extraction and infrastructure, as well as the financial intermediaries that serve target sectors. That is, these are investments that "provide stability and offer opportunity and freedom for America and its allies." Move over liberal-biased investment fund managers, the politics of invesitng have taken a new turn. Established in March 2014 Freedom Capital has recently been the subject of a couple of new reports. The stories reflexively, it seems, lump the fund in with the Tea Party movement in the United States. "I don't think that's what we intended. Media takes a more dramatic view," says McClure in an interview with Wealth Professional magazine. The fund's CEO goes on to explain how the idea for the fund came out of a simple recognition of a business opportunity. "We did research. We found that agenda-funds capital space is $4 trillion today. There is massive demand for capital with an agenda," says McClure. But he also found that the existing agenda-based funds reflected a liberal bias. He thinks there are many investors out there ready to extend that concept beyond typical feel-good notions like no tobacco or coal holdings. "SRI is noble on the face of it. But there are people who would agree with our perspective. We think there is a massive demand for a different," says McClure. As the company's website says: "Freedom Capital Investment Management [aims to] educate investors about the stronghold that the liberal left has on the management of US household wealth. It is the first to offer a proactive patriotic investment alternative." Recent divestment campaigns around coal and firearms spurred McClure to action. Famously, Stanford University divested itself of coal holdings and pressed the managers it contracts with to do the same. McClure was mystified about the base impracticality of such a move. "We watch these situations like Stanford and scratch out heads…Stanford wants to divest from all coal-related industries, and has suggested it would like to see its external managers to the same. Well, coal is 40% of the electricity in this country. If these initiatives succeed, an equity market for this and other energy industries would not exist. We can debate the long-term effects of coal; but no one can debate that we need heat and light, and that without a coal industry tomorrow, there would be anarchy. I don't think Stanford wants to see the coal industry collapse. But I would rather have electricity and food, and we think there are others who think that as well." The SRI campaign against firearms manufacturer Remington was another example of the "negative impact social agendas can have on longstanding American companies engaged in legal and patriotic business." To McClure investors' attempts to force a fire sale or choke off capital is bad for a company that provides tools to the United States military protecting the country. "This is a patriotic investment. This company supplies our military, as well as the Canadian military. These are the forces that keep us safe. We think the disappearance of Remington is a bad idea. If we want our society to continue to function as they are, these are things that need capital." The fund is based in Arlington Virginia, and many of the new and incoming employees will have experience in homeland defense, another sector. But the company has mandates beyond firearms, defense, coal and munitions. Another key sector is North American agriculture and, interestingly, the small and mid-sized business sector. As McClure rightly points out since 2008 the number of IPOs in the mid-sized company space has fallen off. Only large corporations are attracting funding these days. As text on the fund's website points out: "The dearth of capital available to the small and mid-sized business is choking a sector responsible for a massive share of the American economy...Mutual funds hold $13 trillion of US investable capital, and in recent decades, have been dominated by big market capitalization companies. The size of the average mutual fund is $1.5 billion, which makes it nearly impossible for mutual funds to focus on small- and middle-market opportunities." Accordingly, "Our nation's small businesses are falling victim to the success of massive fund complexes that are daily gaining more control of our investable dollars. Freedom Capital recognizes the need for high-quality capital partners and brings institutional quality underwriting and structuring experience to the small and middle markets." Or, as McClure puts it, "A big place capital needs to flow into is the small and mid-zee business market. That's something we think important." Hard to argue with that. SHARE

The Full Corn Moon
September's Corn Moon refers to the time of year after the autumn equinox when crops were gathered by Native Americans. Corn, pumpkins, squash, beans, and wild rice are the chief Native American staples that were ready for gathering. September's most familiar moon name however is harvest moon, referring to this full moon's particularly bright appearance and early rise, which lets farmers continue harvesting into the night.
