"Hoist that beam!"
As carpenter Mekiel Mitchell said those words on stage with MUSC Health CEO Patrick Cawley, the final steel beam for the MUSC Shawn Jenkins Children's Hospital and Pearl Tourville Women's Pavilion was raised into position atop the 625,000 square-foot structure.
For Mitchell, who volunteered to speak on behalf of Robins and Morton construction workers at the topping out ceremony, it was a kind of homecoming. "This project is very dear to me, because the hospital that once stood here, I was actually born in," he told a crowd of co-workers, MUSC employees and local dignitaries. "I have a special affinity for this particular project."
Topping out ceremonies mark the placement of the last beam on top of a building during its construction. There's often a tree atop the beam, based on an old Scandinavian religious rite. Since this topping out was in Charleston, a palmetto tree rode this beam on its way to the top.
The new hospital is scheduled to open in 2019. Shawn Jenkins, the co-founder and CEO of Benefitfocus who has donated $25 million to help build the hospital, called it surreal to see the project reach this milestone.
"It was just a year ago, October 19, that the first pile was driven, and now we're putting the top beam on the structure," Jenkins said before the ceremony, still wearing a hard hat from a lunch he shared with the construction workers.
"I come out and visit the job site a lot – every week or every other week. It's just inspiring to be around the 600-something people building the building. You feel the energy, the excitement, to see the completion coming soon for such a mind-blowing project to help our women and children."
Later, Cawley, who also serves as vice president of Health Affairs for the Medical University of South Carolina, described some of the hospital's highlights while standing on a temporary stage in what will become the hospital's lobby.
"It will include an expanded neonatal intensive care unit, enhanced labor and delivery services, an entire floor dedicated to the care of the children with cancer, a world-class atrium, a world-class outdoor healing space and the most comprehensive pediatric heart center in South Carolina," Cawley told the crowd.
The project has already won some awards, including the project of the year for the Southeast region from the National Association for Minority Contractors.
Kylon Jerome Middleton, pastor of Mount Zion A.M.E. Church in Charleston, led the audience in a prayer, saying, "This is a place where anything, everything, can become possible."
New things have already become possible for Mitchell, the carpenter who spoke at the ceremony. "This is my first time in construction. You all have inspired me greatly. You guys have inspired me so much that I began school at Trident Tech for construction. I'm very grateful and proud to be part of this project."
Cawley said none of this would have been possible without the generosity of donors such as the Jenkins, Tourville and Zucker families, all of whom have donated millions toward the project.

"Arrives like a fresh, why-haven't-we-known-him discovery, revealing Philippe Claudel
to be as dazzling on the page as he is on the screen."–The New York Times
"Extraordinary. . . . [A] modern masterpiece."—The Independent, London
"A haunting, intensely claustrophobic allegory about intolerance, trauma and guilt."–San Francisco Chronicle
"A layered recollection of wartime crimes, atrocities, cowardice, and betrayal."—The Boston Globe
"Claudel's insightful prose, translated gracefully by John Cullen, renders the tale both literary and deeply philosophical."—Washington City Paper
"This is a remarkable novel, all the more so because this account of man's inhumanity to man, of coarse and brutal stupidity, of fear and surrender to evil, is nevertheless not without hope. Brodeck survives because, despite all he has experienced, he remains capable of love. It is also beautifully written."—The Scotsman
"This novel, like the brothers Grimm fables, is full of terror, horror, and beauty and wonder."—Publishers Weekly
"Philippe Claudel is at the peak of his art as a storyteller and portrait-painter."
—Elle (France)
"It is a relentless, uncomfortable book that achieves a beauty of its own through Claudel's deft writing and passionate commitment to truth."—The Times, London

Among these, 1,250 four-axle mineral oil tank cars were delivered from 1975 onwards, which were classified under the documentation number 8105 and Class Uahs. Their number group began with 727 0000. The car had a welded undercarriage made of St 52-3 without middle longitudinal supports with bogies of type Y25Cs and a divided draw gear. The five-section tank made of 7mm steel plate (9mm in the floor area) has a volume of 85150 litres and therefore allows complete exploitation of the maximum permissible wheelset load at that time of 20t. The cars were used above all in block trains mainly to transport fuels such as petrol and diesel. As the GDR also exported these to obtain foreign currency, the cars also came to the NSW or non-socialist economic area with such transports.

Dangerous Motives by Blake Deveraux
Publisher: Red Rose Publishing
Genre: Contemporary, Suspense/Mystery
Length: Full Length (181 pgs)
Other: M/M, anal sex
Rating: 4.5 stars
Reviewed by Nymphaea
Is Prince Charming just a mythical character?
Dr. Joseph Demitri is sure certain he's met and married his Prince Charming. Charles is both handsome and kind. His new partner has proven his love and respect for both the doctor and his young son time and time again. Their world seems to be fairy tale.
That world is shattered when a vicious murder takes place in the quiet suburb of Atlanta they call home. When Charles is implicated in the murder, the evidence begins to mount, threatening and overwhelming. Most frightening of all, Charles had both motive and opportunity.
The doctor begins to doubt his partner, wondering if their lives have been an apparition, a trick of smoke and mirrors, the product of a cunning, charming chameleon.
Can Joseph rip away the veils hiding a killer or will his love be the next victim?
The men of danger are behaving badly and it's so good to read about.
I asked for Dr Joseph and Charles' story. I wasn't disappointed. Blake Deveraux has created a cast of characters that made me laugh, cry, think and worry about them long after the last page. I waited with bated breath for this book because I had to know what would happen next. The supporting characters are just as strong as the main characters.
There are some editing foibles and a couple of odd line breaks, but on the whole they weren't distracting.
But let me get down to the meat and potatoes of this review. I fell in love with Dr Joseph when he first appeared. I loved how he helped Brandon and how he came into his own through the series. He's a complicated man, prone to over-think things and totally over the moon for Charles. Good stuff. The complication has to do with his past. I won't get into lots of details, but the portion of the book revolving around Faith stuck with me. Talk about hard to read! I knew how things would happen, and yet, I sort of hoped it wouldn't because well... I liked the characters.
There's a mystery in this book, too. I enjoyed how Mr Deveraux revealed the pieces bit by bit. There is a definite tension built into the story. I read the book in one sitting, even though I said I'd only read three chapters then go to bed. Why read it all the way through? With heat like the passion shared between Charles and Joseph, there's no sleeping! Good stuff!
If you want a book you'll think about long after the last page, then this is the book for you.

Got invited to be in this online international women's art publication. They did a nice job with my images.
Got invited to be in this online international women's art publication. They did a nice job with my images.
Here's a new take on an old form. A little more elegant, and little more lyrical…perhaps. Just a little different. Sending this one over to my gallery on the Oregon coast, Touchstone Gallery. $75
I'm in the show West Coast Woodfire at the Chehalem Cultural Center June 21, through August 23, 2013. Pleased to be in such good company with some other wonderful potters.
Friday August 23 there is a woodfire conference being held in conjunction with the show, with a closing reception and festivities to follow.
The Chehalem Cultural Center was rescued from demolition, earthquake retrofitted and renovated into a beautiful public space for the arts. Renovation is ongoing, but it already houses lovely gallery and pottery studio spaces as well as other music, dance and media rooms. It is a model for a community coming together to get the funding to create a remarkable space dedicated to the arts. Well worth a visit.
These vessels are a new twist on some of my tried and true forms. The bright orange glaze comes from a helmer shino that really makes the sage green glaze stand out. While I get more control than if I'd woodfired these, the shino is still very picky about the amount of reduction it gets when I'm firing these, so still more to learn with it.
These cups were made to feel good in the hand, with little indentations and places for your fingers to fondle as you sip from them. Red wine or gin are my beverages of choice, but they'll work well with any hot or cold drink you wish to sip.
They also make a nice cup for a bathroom counter or vase for a short stemmed bouquet.
Each cup holds about 6 oz.
3-3/4″ tall by 3″ diameter at the mouth.
This piece was started at a workshop I taught last spring. It was a request piece and I struggled to get it roughed out in a day but didn't quite make it. People were patient with my trying to get the floppy sides dried enough to put together. (I didn't use the naughty words I would've been using if alone in my studio.) Finished up the form later that day and then took several days to get it carved into the shape I wanted, tho it slumped a bit more in the firing into this shape. Used a multi-layered color scheme to go with it's slightly off-beat shape.
12″ x 12″x 8″ – Sold

In Memoriam: Asa Hillard
Asa G. Hilliard, III passed away on August 13 from complications related to malaria while attending a conference in Cairo, Egypt. The native of Galveston, Texas began teaching at San Francisco State University in 1963 and became Dean of Education 18 years later. He was also a visiting professor at Stanford and Harvard universities. A teacher, psychologist and historian, Hilliard was a mentor to many educators including Africana Studies Professor Wade Nobles, SF State Dean of Education Jacob Perea and Dean of Ethnic Studies, Kenneth Monteiro.
"Asa was an intellectual giant in his fields," said Monteiro. "He particularly succeeded in connecting ancient and classical African philosophy and science to modern issues and concerns for African Americans in America and the Diaspora, and to the concerns of humanity in general."
Perea said, "It was from Asa that I gained a greater understanding of the importance of education for our children and the role that higher education must play to ensure that quality education be there for them."
Hilliard received an Ed.D. in educational psychology from the University of Denver. In addition to teaching, he was involved in the creation of national assessment systems including proficiency of educators and developmental assessments of young children and infants. He is survived by his wife, Patsy Jo Hilliard, two sons, two daughters and his grandchildren. Funeral services were held on August 23 at the Martin Luther King, Jr. International Chapel in Atlanta, GA.

Toddler Investigates!
A few weeks ago I heard that Miserden C Of E Primary School were starting a Mother and Toddler group – so I told Mummy and my baby sister that we should go and investigate.
Eventually on Wednesday morning Mummy finally got herself ready – all those things she needs to take with her – nappies , wipes , drinks – who knows why ?
Both my baby sister and I were ready to go ages before her – come on Mummy !
The toddler group is held in the massive school hall and after careful inspection I sadly couldn't find any hazards – but the space to explore was amazing – I also didn't get really grubby when I took my shoes off and slid along on my bottom Mummy said that was brilliant – as sometimes my bottom is better than a broom for cleaning hall floors!
Other small babies arrived with their Mummies and some other Toddlers came too – it was good fun – I got to help with the younger ones and I really enjoyed myself. The babies have a soft space to play on too – my baby sister is learning to sit up so we make sure that we don't knock them over.
There are hoppy dogs and tunnels with balls, things to do like puzzles , and shaky things to rattle when we sing a song !
There were big pieces of paper for us to draw on together – next week we might draw round each other!
We got a tasty snack and the Mummies had a hot drink we had biscuits that we decided we could share with the Mummies.
We looked out of the window and saw the playground that has squiggly patterns that you can run on and a trim trail that Mrs Sollars the Headteacher says on a fine day – if we look after them the Mummies can come outside and try if they hold our hands !!!
We finished with a song I tried to sing really loud to make it hit the roof!
I really had a good time and will take Mummy again next week if she is a good girl!
Miserden has a new friendly, relaxed and safe place to come with babies and toddlers. Held in Miserden C OF E School"s comfortable and clean hall.
Meeting on a Wednesday mornings in term time from 9.30 until 11.30 am for a small donation of £1.50 parents are welcome to enjoy a hot drink and a biscuit. There is also a fruit snack for the children.
During the fine weather children and parents have the opportunity to explore the wonderful outdoor space where it is safe and enjoyable for children and parents.
This group has the benefit of being coordinated by a childcare practitioner.
There is a soft space for smaller babies to explore whilst giving parents the chance to meet others and relax.
Toddlers have the room to play using imagination and there is often time for a song and a story.
We welcome Mums, Dads , Grandparents and carers locally and from the wider community.
Come and try this happy calm group – everyone form all areas welcome.

How to have your Cake and Eat it too is an idiom however, in this case it might apply.
Lake County wants to build on 16,000 acres in the southeast corner of the county, a place that already cannot sustain what is there now with water, thanks in part to so many big business pumping out water now.
It is time to rethink, Distilled water from the ocean, St. Johns River, and/or only using the 2nd Florida Aquifer?
Change laws to allow no water for irrigating landscape, whether reclaimed or potable, unless they tap into the wasted water from Bottle Water, Soda and Beer companies?
All of the above still need to distill water however, Florida is in die-hard need of good clean water?
What to make jobs?
Let's build water distill plants?
Stricter water conservation for Wellness Way
Last week, Lake County commissioners sent a comprehensive plan to the state that will transform 16,000 acres in the southeast corner of the county into a hub for high-wage, health care jobs and other industries.
But while business and political leaders are licking their chops over the potential for this massive community to set a high bar for good, self-sustaining development, some environmentalists are expressing concerns about the plan.
The Florida Department of Economic Opportunity will review the project and send it back to the County Commission for final approval, likely in the spring.
Wellness Way calls for 16,400 homes. But what sets the concept apart from other massive developments is the focus on job creation. Supporters of Wellness Way want to ensure that the community has the equivalent of 1.6 jobs per household so the project is an economic boon to, not a drain on, the area.
Those pushing the plan say it also will be sensitive to the environment.
But environmentalists aren't sold.
For example, the plan for Wellness Way prohibits using potable water from the shrinking upper Floridian Aquifer for irrigation. And the plan features strict landscaping requirements, such as a mandate that only Florida native and Florida-friendly plants may be used.
But the environmental community points to the fact that Wellness Way still will need about 21 million gallons of water a day to support its residents and businesses. They say the prohibitions on the use of water for irrigation are laudable but don't go far enough in an area of Central Florida that is facing a very real water crisis.
Charles Lee, a prominent environmentalist, noted that a similar plan in Alachua County allows no water for irrigating landscape, whether reclaimed or potable, and says Wellness Way should follow suit.
Lee and other environmentalists say Wellness Way needs far more aggressive water conservation policies. What officials now propose, they say, is "10 years behind the times."
We agree.
The two most important and transformational efforts now going on in Lake County are the creation of Wellness Way and the race to slake the thirst of a region that is quickly running out of water.
Alan Oyler, a consultant to the South Lake Regional Water Initiative —which is working to find an alternative water source — said the group is exploring using the lower Florida Aquifer as a water source and, simultaneously, is working on stricter water conservation guidelines for the region.
Why not start with Wellness Way?
Any plan that does not strictly limit the use of water for non-essential purposes should be reconsidered in light of this developing crisis. It is possible — and reasonable — to require drought-tolerant landscaping throughout the community. Many communities facing water emergencies do so.
We certainly do not recommend scrapping Wellness Way. There is too much merit, too much potential in this project. However, we urge Lake County commissioners and other stakeholders to meet at the table with water experts and craft policies that better protect this dwindling, finite resource.
Wellness Way is positioned to be an example of good, sensible growth. It should have a water policy to match.

I play on a volleyball team and love to swim.
Melody,shy,wants to be able to talk and share her feelings,but she has a disability that doesn't allow her to talk,eat,or walk by herself. So she convinces her parents to buy her a computer that allows her to speak. Then she expresses her feelings,but will everyone be ready to hear them?
My favorite part in the book was when Mr.D announced to the class that Melody was the only person that got a perfect score on the test. In this part Melody was very surprised and shocked.This was my favorite part of the book because nobody thought that Melody was that smart. I liked how she got to prove everyone wrong. The life lesson of the book Out of My Mind is not to judge people by how they look because they could be very different in the inside. Everyone in this book thinks that Melody is not smart just because she has a disability but then when the class finds out about her score on the test they realized that she was very smart.
The greatest value in this book is that Melody never gives up on her dreams of talking. This is the greatest value because she spends a month researching about different computers that are for disabled people. After spending a month researching,she finally finds a perfect computer that can attach to her wheelchair. You will fall in love with Melody and her confidence of learning to speak. At the end of the book you will learn that giving up is never the right answer.

Here's how to clear it out – and keep what's left in tip-top condition. From the dress you got engaged in to your favourite (most hideous) 80s jumper, the sequinned jacket that gets pulled out for special occasions and the sale buys you can't quite squeeze into, your closet can seem like a chronicle of your life. But just like an action-packed adulthood, a full wardrobe can be a mixed bag, the highlights sitting alongside the better forgotten, leaving a good old clear-out the only option. Because not only does an ordered closet make life easier on a daily basis (no more stressing about having nothing to wear), but it is also much better for keeping your clothes in good condition, rather than crumpled up next to each other. There are all sorts of methods for sorting things out, from complicated flow charts to hiring a professional wardrobe mistress. But actually, it's pretty simple if you follow our three essential steps to finally sorting out that clothes collection. 1. Completely empty your closet and drawers Then give them a good clean from top to bottom, put in some lavender bags, drawer-liners and anti-moth treatments, and leave the doors and drawers open to air them. Replace any old wire hangers with well-shaped wooden or padded ones, to keep your clothes in shape and create some order. There's nothing like a refreshed wardrobe to inspire you to keep it tidy. 2. Bin, donate, sell, mend, keep Go through your clothes piece by piece, and divide them into five piles: Bin… anything that's beyond the pale, damaged, moth-eaten, and guaranteed never to return to fashion. (Bye bye shell suits and greying knickers!) It doesn't have to go into landfill – check with your council to see if there are any local textile recycling points, or tear up old clothes to use as dusters. Donate… items that are still in good condition and clean, but you haven't worn for 12-18 months and have no sentimental value. Make sure you wash everything before you take it to the charity shop. Sell… new or nearly new items that you haven't worn for 12-18 months, especially if they're desirable or expensive brands. You can try eBay, or see if you have a nearly-new store near you that might buy a batch of clothes and accessories. You won't get as much, but it's less hassle than posting everything out. Mend… items that have some life left in them, but you never wear because they're missing buttons, have fallen hems, need dry-cleaning or have split seams. Put aside an afternoon to do what repairs you can, and consider paying a professional for more complicated repairs like zip replacements – life's too short! Keep… items you wear regularly, special-occasion pieces that only come out once in a while, and anything that has true, positive sentimental value (it can be cathartic to ditch items that remind you of more challenging times, if you're ready to). 3. Maintain your good work Keeping an eye on your wardrobe acquisitions is essential from now on – try to stick to a one-in-one-out rule, so you never over-fill it again (easier said than done, of course). As for the clothes you have, make sure they last longer, feel softer and look brighter, by protecting them with the right laundry products. Lenor's fabric conditioners protect clothes against the three signs of ageing – stretching, fading and bobbling – as well as infusing them with long-lasting fragrance to keep your wardrobe smelling divine. Is your wardrobe ordered or awful? What are your tips for keeping clothes under control? Let us know in the comments box below. You might also like:

There's a rather notable quote about famed "worst director ever" Ed Wood's most infamous movie, Plan 9 From Outer Space: "No matter what time of day you watch Plan 9 From Outer Space - it always feels like three in the morning." I've also read of this concept--"3am cinema"--being applied to David Lynch's work.
The point of the quote is, Wood could sustain a mood and though the movie's awful, the acting sucks, and the dialogue is embarrassing, one doesn't forget Plan 9 in part because of that "three in the morning" feeling it transfers over to viewers. A narcotic, whirlpool of images and sounds with some semblance of plot poking out here and there. I'd like to append the term to the old Doctor Who series. Call it 3am television.
There's often a weird, hard-to-articulate power in work that though, edging towards the amateur or unprofessional, can also tap into something a more polished, more corporate thing just can't. This is what marks the resurrected Doctor Who series from its 1963-1989 incarnation(s). Inscrutable plots come off lot worse when the whole thing's coated in CGI and shot single-camera style. There's no room for chaos. The new Doctor Who is like a fan-film with the biggest budget ever. A lot of the ideas are there, it's all put together with love, but it's a heartless facsimile of the real thing.
All the things smoothed-out, made shiny and nice by the new series is precisely what made the old show so good. The way episodes would lumber back and forth between a shot on video soundstage scene and filmed on-location action sequence. The weird balance between really awesome effects and "that'll do" stuff, sometimes occupying the same sequence. Tom Baker both totally selling the reality of the show and possessing a kind of ironic detachment from it all, teetering on making the show meta. The same corridor presented as three different corridors and they've only slightly changed the lighting. A very real-world location (an indoor swimming pool, a rock quarry, etc.) presented unadorned and sold to the viewer as another world. A scene that's full of theatrically-trained actors and guys in weird suits as whirling, droning synths quiver in the background.
But there's something perfect--almost form meeting content--about a show dealing with time travel and displaced time that features a schizophrenic mise en scene that indeed, gives the viewer the feeling of it being three in the morning, right?

Well put, Brandon, my opinion of the new Doctor Who seems to correspond with your own. I think your fan-film comparison is a good one. If the new style is what the Beeb and the audience wants, that's fine, but to me, it's not Doctor Who. Not "my" Doctor Who, anyway.
- January 3, 2010 at 1:17 PM
I feel like it's that same suspention of disbelief that it takes to believe the special effects and crude monsters of the old show that also alows me to forgive the slick mistakes of the recent stuff.
That 3 in the am feeling feels like the monotone of sunday afternoon to me--but maybe I was watching the Doctor in a diffeent time zone.

Food Trucks Miami have come to stay. Their flavor fusions, mobility and high-quality service are the selling point for all lovers of good food who don't have time to eat at a restaurant. Don't let yourself be taken in by the fact that these roving restaurants dish up meals fast, since this doesn't affect the quality of the final product at all.
This new business model, which comes mainly from cities like New York and Los Angeles, meshed perfectly with the cosmopolitan Sunshine city. Food trucks Miami reflect the cultural diversity that has managed to fascinate so many people.
Customarily, food trucks are manned and driven by their owners, amateur cooks or chefs coming from various professional fields such as graphic design, law, and advertising, among other occupational areas, who tired of the inflexible office hours wanted to embark on a new business undertaking and be their own boss.
Miami food trucks are quaint, both for their colorful exterior and for the meals they dish up: hamburgers, hotdogs, cupcakes, tacos and Cuban fare are just a few of the culinary alternatives there are to try.
The best Food Trucks Miami
It is hands down one of the most famed food trucks in Miami, widely acclaimed by a large number of specialized food review listings in Miami and nationwide. Known as the Grilled Cheese Sandwich Kings, they have taken this customary dish to the next level with over 10 options to savor that include cheese with chicken, turkey, pulled pork and goat cheese & prosciutto. You can even build your own sandwich to your liking with a delicious choice of cheese and meat that will take you to the tip-top of tastiness.

For the barbecue pork rib lovers, this restaurant on wheels is definitely meant for them. A burst of flavors await all diners who want to try the assorted fare they offer: fried chicken, tacos, hotdogs and sandwiches. Its signature dish, the juicy lip-smacking pork racks dipped in homemade BBQ sauce and the traditional family recipe corn cream (Corn Krack), is the perfect combination that will delight the palate with irresistible flavors.

Featuring an explosive fusion of the Dominican and Puerto Rican cuisines that has captivated a diverse clientele, this food truck knows how to blend traditional dishes from both nations without making them clash. No doubt the main dish has to be the Mofongo—fried green mashed plantains—accompanied with pork cracklings, shrimps, chicken or beef. The fare is rounded off with chimichurris, tripletas, alcapurrias (fritter dish), and empanadas (stuffed savory turnover), all of them filled with flavors that are guaranteed to make you smile

Restaurant Sakaya Kitchen's Asian fusion cuisine has been adapted to the new Miami food truck craze putting this gourmet fare within everyone's reach, fast-food versions of dishes typically served up in restaurants such as pork that has been cooked over 8 hours, pork racks basted and smothered in honey and oranges not to mention the must-try Bao Buns, mouth-watering steamed buns with delicious fillings.

I am so excited to bring you this idea from "QuiltDiva" Julie Sefton of Memphis, TN. She made these pillows for the children and grandchildren of a lawyer who passed away. What an excellent memorial keepsake! He had some pretty interesting ties too. I love how she put them together in a playful improvisational way. I plan to make some of these. Thanks, Julie!
Julie is planning her next necktie project, so keep an eye on her blog: www.quiltdivajulie.blogspot.com.

Toast Box @ 1utama
Lontong -- RM 6.80
I never know Lontong existed, sorry sorry, I know I sucked as a Malaysian. But Good thing that I discovered this awesome dish man... Love it Love it!!! That's why I love and hate Malaysia, so much awesome good food to eat but end up making me so fat haha :D
Anyways, yea according to Wikipedia, Lontong is an Asian dish made of compressed rice wrapped inside banana leaf that is then cut into small cakes as staple food replacement of steamed rice. I'm grateful to whoever that invented this, it's so yummy weih. The curry taste so good, it's kinda spicy the taste and the scent is just soo goooood!! *Thumbsup* I can't really explain how good it is, so just go try larr, Lontong at Toast Box.
Usually those traditional food like, nasi lemak and rojak, that is served in all these cafe's are not that nice compare to those homemade ones. But surprisingly, this Lontong from Toast Box taste really really good!! I'm now a fan of it, I'm gonna eat again next week!!!!!
Anyways, this Toast Box is yet another awesome yumcha spot la. There are other food choices as well, like toasts, eggs, noodles and so on. The place is also not that noisy, and it's between the shops, so you can just sit there, and look around and stare at people. Well that's what I like to do :D
The beverage in the 1st photo is just Tea -- RM 2.60

Interested in Volunteering in the Paleontology Research Lab?
The PRL is an active lab where both research and preparation takes place. Specimens are collected from field sites and brought back to the lab for cleaning and conservation. This process is detailed and time consuming but also exceptionally rewarding. We are looking for talented and dedicated people with a strong interest in paleontology to join our volunteer team.
Fossil Preparation
Most people have never heard the word "preparation" in relation to fossils. This is the universal term used in paleontology to describe the process of removing rock (matrix) from the fossilized remains of an animal. Techniques in fossil preparation vary from basic hand tool use (a pin) to specially designed pneumatic impact tools. Various kinds of consolidants, glues, etc… have been implemented for this field as well. Most work is done using a microscope to aid in accuracy. Magnification of the specimen helps to better define the differences between the rock and the bone, reducing the chances for error.
It takes a lot of our time to train a person to prepare fossils. Before you contact us we ask you to consider how much time you can dedicate to volunteering in the lab. We ask that individuals are able to commit to coming in once a week either in the morning or afternoon. Time slots are available Monday-Saturday, 9-12am or 1-5pm.
Preparation Skills
Most people do not have any experience with fossil preparation. As an alternative prerequisite we ask that volunteers have above average fine motor skills, good eyesight and depth perception, and basic anatomical knowledge. This all translates well to fossil preparation. You will be trained in the lab by our staff.
Like teeth? We sure do. Some fossil specimens such as teeth and the bones of very small animals such as frogs, lizards, fish, and even primitive mammals can be very small (sand grain size, pebbles). These specimens are collected by gathering a large quantity of matrix, screen washing it to uniform size, and then picking out the fossils under a microscope. This process requires a good eye for distinguishing fine fossil elements from a field of rock grains. Many new species have been found using this technique. It also gives a bigger picture of the biodiversity of an ancient ecosystem that we wouldn't know about if we just collected large fossils.
Contact Us!
If you are interested and want more information contact our chief preparator Aaron Giterman (email@example.com).

Why cannot Hindu girls control their urges for Muslim men? Why do married Hindu women happily spread legs for Muslims when their husbands are not there?
This is all part of an long secret tradition in India. To fully understand the sexual psyche of Hindu women one has to look into history.
Hindu and Brahmin females were long known for their swollen breasts and beauty. Hindu men never could satisfy their women. Only Muslims with their thick tools could make Hindu women discharge their pussy juices and reach
powerful orgasms. When Muslims invaded Hindustan they took millions of Hindu women as their rightful possession and fucked their wet cunts.
Hindu men took on the role of pimp, cuckold and gave away their young daughters, sisters, wives to be satisfied by beef eating powerful Muslim men. This happy tradition continues to this day and this is just the way Hindu women like it!!

At a meeting of the Joint Legislative Elections Oversight Committees of the North Carolina state legislature, representatives of Gov. Pat McCrory's (R) State Board of Elections presented a report Wednesday identifying suspected cases of dead people voting and individuals voting in two states in 2012. Despite the board's explanation that it is still investigating to determine whether these cases were actually voter fraud or something as innocent as poll-worker errors, Senate President Phil Berger (R) and House Speaker Thom Tillis (R) immediately lauded the findings as "evidence of widespread voter error and fraud" which should "put to rest ill-informed claims that problems don't exist and help restore the integrity of our elections process."
The report claimed that, using data provided by Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach's error-riddled multi-state voter database, North Carolina found 765 voters from the November 2012 elections whose first and last names, dates of birth, and last four Social Security number digits exactly matched those of someone who voted in another state's same election. It also claimed 35,750 November 2012 voters with first and last names and dates of birth matching those of someone who voted in the 2012 general elections. Finally, it found that — over a ten year period — 81 people were recorded as voting after the reported date of their deaths, and the board of elections' director noted it had learned that about 30 of those had properly cast early votes prior to their deaths. The board refused to release the names of the voters in question, deeming them potentially a matter for criminal investigations.
While the same legislative leaders who pushed through the worst voter suppression law in the nation last year were quick to use these allegations as incontrovertible evidence of widespread fraud, in truth they amount to no such thing. More than 4.5 million votes were cast in North Carolina in the 2012 general elections. Even if all of the 765 of the suspected double-voters with matching Social Security number digits did indeed vote illegally, this would represent less than 0.017 percent of the votes cast. Indeed, even the 35,750 suspected possible double-voters represented less than four-fifths of one percent of the votes cast.
But there is substantial reason to doubt the accuracy of the matches. For years, North Carolina used a default date of birth of 01/01/1900 for voters whose date of birth could not be ascertained — Joshua Lawson, a spokesman for the North Carolina Board of Elections, confirmed to ThinkProgress that one of the 35,750 voters had the same name as an Arkansas voter who was listed with that default date in both states. And, of course, sometimes multiple people with the same first and last name are born on the same date. A quick ThinkProgress public records search found both a John M. Smith in Mississippi and a John J. Smith in South Carolina were born on May 15, 1979. Since the database does not compare middle initials, North Carolina would likely flag these John Smiths as one possible double-voter. Indeed two John D. Smiths were apparently born on August 14, 1974 in opposite parts of Illinois.
Other voter suppression advocates have made similar claims of widespread voter fraud — and ultimately proved little. Last year, Iowa Secretary of State Matt Schultz (R) spent tens of thousands of dollars investigating more than 1,200 cases of suspected non-citizen voting and ended up finding just 16 cases for prosecution. And out of 17 cases of voter fraud alleged by Colorado Secretary of State Scott Gessler (R) in Boulder, zero proved to be actually guilty.
Moreover, the state's 2013 strict photo ID law (which goes into effect in 2016) would do little to combat this problem. A voter with a valid photo identification in North Carolina could theoretically vote in a second state. And it will have zero effect on absentee voters (unless they were required to mail a photograph of themselves with each ballot), who are not required to show identification.
Joshua Lawson, spokesman for North Carolina Board of Elections told ThinkProgress that this report is merely an update on cases that they are examining. "We are not jumping to conclusions here," he explained, "This may constitute evidence of voter fraud, voter error, poll worker error, or data problems."

Good morning,
We were able to test your resins and hybrids and Ray was very impressed. We will be placing and order for more either this week or next once we figure out how much of each grit that we want. I will contact you shortly.
Hi John,
We received our order on Friday and I just got a chance to unpack it today. The Scanmaskin diamond sample you sent fits perfectly. The lavina type plate you sent fits great…but it hangs over the edge approx. 3 mm. Ray said that it will still work but he wanted to let you know.
We got everything just fine a couple of weeks ago. We are actually in the middle of testing them now. So far, great. We have used the metal-bond pads and recorded all of our data. We are now running the resin-bond pads and it looks good. I have yet to run the red pads but what is the difference between them…is there some reason why people may get better or different results between the beige and red pads, or is it simply as trivial as color-preference?
Okay John, the items we ordered look like they will work well for us. So, please let me know the best pricing package you can put together for me with shipping included. I would plan to order the beige AND red resins in a wider variety of grits than we tested. I would also plan to order them in the 4" size as well as the 5" size. We also liked the metal-bonds ok and will be ordering some of those as well. Let me know what we can work on between pricing and shipping terms for a little larger order. There is no rush on this, so enjoy your weekend and be in touch. Thanks, Matt.
Thank you John. Our class went well and your products work great. We are very happy with them. We have to get them selling soon and hopefully we can be re-ordering in a few months. As for the weather here, winter keeps dumping snow on us but Spring is only weeks away. We are looking forward to seeing some green outside. I hope all is well with you and your family and we'll keep in touch.
Trojans from what I can tell look good. As long as the rest of the diamonds do as well. I will be doing a lot if business with you.
Merry Christmas to you and your family as well. Hope you have a very prosperous New Year as well. The Trojans seem to working just fine. Thank you for all your help and hard work.
Hi John, Yes the tools turned up today and we are really impressed !! They are exactly what we wanted. I will be putting another order in hopefully tomorrow for some prep tools.
Hi John, I have transferred the money across to your account, it should be there in the next couple of hours. We tried some of the tools you sent today and they were really good many thanks.
Hi John, Parcels turned up this morning , really pleased with the tools I will be in touch soon with another order . Many thanks ! Cheers, Jon
Hi John, Not to worry I know your doing your best just let us know when your sending the order. Still really happy with the results we get with your tooling , tried the Frankfurt 60 grits yesterday and they were great : ) ! Cheers, Jon
Hi John,
Really impressed with the aluminium backing pads and the HTC tools fit beautifully !!
Hi John, Everything you sent works really well, still very impressed with the tooling and your customer service. I will be in touch once we have got through the work we are currently doing.
Hi John, we have used the 100 grit hybrids wet so far not dry , they do work very well ! Cheers
Hi John, Just spoke to a guy from Ireland asking for a reference. I have spoken highly of you and he is going to order some tools from you . Kind regards, Jon
Hi John, I had a talk with a guy today and have passed on your details. He is involved with prep and is interested in tooling. Kind regards, Jon...
Cheers John.
I am passing your details onto a big prep company tomorrow. They have lots of HTC machines and some Werkmaster. I have discussed your tooling with them and have said how happy with you we are in regards to quality and delivery. They are also interested in the 3" brazed tools.
I will let them have your e-mail address so they can contact you directly, please send them your tooling list and prices. I have explained to them your payment method.
Hi John, We have nearly broken up for our Christmas break and will be returning to work in middle of January.
All going well here hope all is well with you, have a good break as well.
By the way those 3" brazed diamonds work great !!
Hi John, The STI 2 pin tool holders are great! Perfect.
Once we get through the work we have at the moment i will be in touch.
Kind regards,Jon..
Thanks for checking in. They did work well. We have been slow for the past month, I will be ordering some resins in February for sure.
Thanks John. The ceramic pads were excellent. We were very happy with them.
I will be in touch on Friday as I would like to place another larger order for ceramics, along with some of your other products.
Hi John,
Yes, your products are excellent again.
I will be in touch in the next few weeks to place another order.
Hi John,
Hope your well.
I am very happy with your diamond tools - thank you.
I am now interested in cup wheels - if you have any to suit the Hilti DG150 (6 inch) hand grinder?
good morning ,3'' plug worked very good.
need 30 #6 grit like last order for hard concrete
Yes diamonds are great! Will be ordering more.
Hi john,
The 200g resin polishing pads seemed to work quite well.
i haven't tried the 5" hand polishing pads yet.
John, we are testing the diamonds...they appear to be working the same as the OEM which is good...we are trying to improve our speed of removal and determine which configuration/bond/grit would be best. Any ideas?
Hello Mr.Lee
I did test the dimonds. I was very pleased with the result. I will contact you later.
Thank you.
Yes so far everything we have tried is working well.
The adaptors are not going to work right now with the diamonds I have but in the future they should.
The resins look good, much better than the ones I recieved from another company.

About redi lock resin holder
Good morning.
Have you tried the new resin holders ?
Waiting your reply
Sorry John, been busy with a bunch of stuff.
Yes, they sit to outer of the plate nicely. Reducing the height of the flange is just right for the pads.
Happy with the changes J
No. 15
Hi John
We did 14000 sqft area with 4 coats of epoxy. Your diamonds cut right through and still look new.
Thanks my friend.
I love your diamonds they last a long time and are great quality. Thanks Randy
you have these exact ones? The propane models take the blue ones.... I guess the base spins the opposite direction as their electric grinders.
If you have these I am in need of them!!
Do you have anything you feel is better that works on the lavina PROPANE POWERED for thick coatings? Remember the base spins opposite of electric.
I've been doing a job in a factory they been painting the floor for years. I did an area with your 6 grits but it took about 10 passes with extra weight added to the grinder to get off the epoxy. But still very impressed with your diamonds. No complaints here.
by the way your lavina pcd did better that super abrasives no bar pcd. finally tried yesterday and with no tooth lose.
Been using Johns Diamond tooling for about 1 year. PCDs to 120 metals. Very wise purchase. Good Job John.
Do Not Buy UnLeSS- You want to save Costs on Your Diamonds, And Diamonds Seem to Last way Longer.
I ONLY buy my metals from John. Single bar, double buttons and No Barred PCDS.
GET THIS —> Supper abrasives PCD's when I used theirs, they would break teeth even on small job, Johns... I have bought 42 No Barred PCDs and done about four good sized epoxy removal jobs and still have all their teeth. I run two 30'' propane powered lavinas and one 20'' electric lavina.
Caution- You will be very happy.
Cons are and not bad if you know in advance. I alway order about 6 to 8 weeks before needing because it will usually take a month to get your diamonds. John does ask if the order needs a rush on it but I have never needed that service, He maybe able to get to you sooner.
Thanks for asking
About diamond brushes
Hi John,
The brushes are fine thanks. We will be working away now and then going on our holidays so we probably won't order until the 1st week in September.
Yes mr. John they are working fine.
Will be good for a few months unless a big job comes in
Hi John,
The diamonds are working well, I will need to evaluate the other grits of your 8 pie high quality diamonds before committing totally but from what I have seen I don't believe there will be a problem.
I have informed a number of other grinding companies and they are also happy to use your diamonds on my recommendation.
I would like to, in the near future discuss the opportunity to distribute your diamonds in Australia and trading terms. Let me know you thoughts.
Hi John,
Yes, we like the diamonds. I don't use them often, so they last me a long time.
Haven't tried pcd's Resins r great. Thanks
Hi John,
yes last week the goods have arrived, we have also already tried the first tools TOP!, we are in the first week of December all the tools then try on a slightly larger area times, and when everything was great! is with the tools where I'm going times of. Then we will build an additional distribution channel so that in the coming year, and we ourselves will then only work with this tool.
Then I would say: a good cooperation in the future!
Hi John,
Diamonds worked good, the soft bond was too soft though, used half the segment on 100m2 .I have not used super soft yet. Polishing pads worked good.
Hello John, thank you so much. The diamonds got here and are working great. Thanks to you and your company. Best Wishes for the holidays and a very Happy New Year.
We used the 800grit 3'' dry/wet resin pads on Saturday and I was impressed they performed extremely well.
I look forward to trying more products. It looks like they will arrive thursday.
The PCD and diamond portion of the plates work very well and we are very
satisfied with the quality, thanks Dan
Hi John,
We are going alright, market still a bit slow here.
How's things going for you?
Diamonds still going mate have done a couple of jobs with them, very happy with price and quality
Hi John, nice to here from you ,we used your pads on a concrete polishing job last week and they worked very well, and will probably do another 2 jobs.Will let you know when i need some more.
Thank you for the prompt delivery.
Regards, Kevin.
hello, all is very good with the diamond resind metals and cup disks.
We have been busy doing polishing and are preparing to market your products.
We are away until the end of March. When I get back I will be in contact.
Good morning John
We have tested de diamonds yet and there are very good! We contanct you, when we need again.
Have a nice time!
Greats from switzerland!
Hey John,
The truth is that we are happy with your diamonds.
We'll be in touch, because when you do need more order.
Thank prices because next time, ask different grains.
Hello John,
thank you for your email.
We used one diamond disc and it worked good. Still have to try other attachments.
We also hope to work more with your tools.
Hello John, I tried one of the vacuum brazed grinding pads and it did the job well. I am hopeful that the thinner pads will hold out as well as the thicker pads but I actually find the thinner pads easier to work with.
Hi John all is well with the hand pads they work fine. Cheers Karl
Hi John,
Yes the redilock metals worked good.
I am in the process of putting another order through.
Best Regards
They have been working well
We will order more
Paul Jury / Director
They are doing good for prep. Have not polished yet.
Thanks for asking
Hi John. The Lavina velcro holders are working very well thank you
Steve Clark
Kiss Gergely:
Hi John,
we have tested the samples, they are very good quality, thank you
I will write you when I need new diamonds
Hi John, thankyou for that.
The shipment arrived and we have started to try the diamonds. We are very happy. I will be ordering more very soon.
We are using the diamonds I bought from you on a job now. So far they cut really good and there is plenty of diamonds in the metal.
I will give this info to a great friend of mine as we wear this set of tooling out,
He is a huge contractor compared to me, I am a small company.
He had previously bought a set directly from China before me, not sure of the company though. He did not like the ones he bought. He said they cut great at 1st but soon as they wore down into the metal there was no diamonds left in the metal. So they were worthless at that point. If yours continue to perform as they are now I'll do my best to get him to purchase from you also.
Merry Christmas. Jesse
How do y'all celebrate Christmas in China? Or do you?
Hi John, yup diamonds made it safe and sound! Been putting them to work, working good so far!
dear John, thank you, all well received and working perfectly, we'll order more in the future. at the moment I am in Canada and will be back next week. best regards, Guido
Hi John
Sorry for the late response
Recently we've been busy with epoxy applications
Yes, the hybrid diamonds works well, especially on wet ( which are designed to)
We still like ceramic resins /hybrid, or whatever you guys/manufacturing call it.
They last much longer, especially when we use it to open the top/cream surface.
For now we are ok with yours, but in the future, un case you're planning to make some ceramics, please let me know, to try it also.
Hey John, We loved the diamonds you sent and would like to get some more, if I double my order from last time can I save some money? Also can you send me some info on pads for polishing concrete, we have a job coming up and Im not really sure what we need to do it
Dear John Lee,
thank you for contacting
I am very satisfied with the 3 step diamond.
We will place an order if stock is insufficient.
Hi John
The segment RFP-45 Worked very good on the concrete . I need another set ASAP and in addition I ned
Cup wheels CW 05 125mm turbo Grit 80# and 200#
We are setting up a new company here in the beginning of December, and that may result in more business for you.
I am 78 years today and will transfer my company to my sons that will take it further. I will stay as consultant.
Best regards Christian.
Good morning John.
The truth is I have been telling you that we received everything ok, but everything is excellent.
Query: is it possible that in our next purchase, our printed logo fence?
The new product for us is the RD-02 Lavina Velcro, it has facilitated us and saved time in our work.
In general, everything is fine
We have gone thru a set of #6 hard that we order from you and we are very happy with the way they preformed
Hi John
Can you please arrange a price list of all your products.
I have been happy with the products I get from John and maybe interested in the polishing pads for the grinding machines
Hey susan, were doing great! How about yourself? The last shipment you sent is lasting good, we will need more in the near future, ill be sure to order from you again, thanks for the price list
Love the diamonds I will be in touch.
You did a great job! If I bought these 1000 pieces at a time what would my cost be?
Hi John,
Yes we used your tooling and it worked well. Right now we are very slow with our grinding jobs.
Hello John, thank you for touching base, I appreciate your followup with me. Things are going slow, I have been in business for 2 months and hve only done 6 jobs. I think it will take me some time to ramp up and get things going like I did in Arizona. You have earned my trust and I will only order my diamond products from you. Thanks for thinking of me, have a great day and talk to you soon.
Good morning John,
I would like to thank Super Concrete Tools for supplying the most excellent Bush Hammer tools.
We would like to wish you and your Team a very Merry Xmas from New Zealand.
Kind regards,
Hi John,
Thanks for your email. Yes, the diamonds are working well. Do you also sell 7 inch cups for angle grinders? We use these as well so I would be interested.

A primary motivation of research in photovoltaic technology is to obtain higher efficiency photovoltaic devices at reduced cost of production so that solar electricity can be cost competitive. The majority of photovoltaic technologies are based on p-n junction, with efficiency potential being much lower than the thermodynamic limits of individual technologies and thereby providing substantial scope for further improvements in efficiency. The thesis explores photovoltaic devices using new physical processes that rely on thin layers and are capable of attaining the thermodynamic limit of photovoltaic technology. Silicon heterostructure is one of the candidate technologies in which thin films induce a …

Tony Windsor and David Marr
Sunday began at The Playhouse with Tony Windsor and David Marr. What a great way to start the day with a packed audience eager to here from the gentleman of politics.
Tony was everything you expected him to be, kind, considerate, honest, forthright and also funny. David Marr was perfect and affable, quick witted and intelligent. What a pair. So much information flew back and forth it is difficult to remember it all, suffice to say Tony had everyone eating out of the palm of his hand. He spoke about many politicians and always with considered kindness, but the one he spoke of with the most fondness with Julia Gillard, which was heartening to know. He thought she the most calm politician he has ever come across and that she was also genuinely friendly.
He felt people like Abbott and Turnbull were more interested in being PM than actually why they were there and what they wanted to do, which is not a good thing.
Climate change is the reason he is back. He feels his constituents deserve better and he is hopeful he can assist them and the country.
We lined up to get our books signed after the session, and he was kind and took time with everyone to say hello and chat. What a sheer pleasure and how nice is it to know there are politicians with integrity out there.
We'll Always Have Paris
This was a delightful session with writers, Jean Kent, Patti Miller, and Marion Halligan and hosted by Caroline Baum.
All the writers have lived in and written about Paris so they had many wonderful tales to tell. Caroline is half Parisian and also knew they city well. They spoke about many things such as homelessness, food, tourism, and the whole appeal of the city.
They spoke about the fact that most people arrive in Paris with a preconceived notion of the city, from film, books, posters, history. It is the one city that you feel you can know and love without ever having visited. I know I felt that way before I visited Paris. They spoke about how even so, the city will still exceed expectations, which is so very true.
Some who have been going there for years have noticed a change in the city with tourism, others not so much. They spoke about the little villages within the arrondissements, their love of the chemists that are everywhere (this is true, you cannot walk a few block without seeing the neon green cross that marks a chemist in Paris).
They spoke about living in small apartments as part of writers workshops, and making the apartments their own, finding the perfect Boulangeries in their area, or the right food at the supermarket or market. Patti told a lovely story of how she joined a choir in Paris, despite not knowing much French or even being able to sing that well.
The whole session was a delight that took me back to my time in Paris, which is always a great thing.
The Story of a Painting: Nigel Milsom and Charles Waterstreet
After catching up with friends for lunch I headed to the Art Gallery for this sold out event. There was much anticipation in the room as the guest sat down.
After some hilarious back and forth, Nigel told the shocking story of how the painting almost missed being entered in the competition. He had finished it the night before entry and had laid it down to lacquer it and leave it overnight. But woke to the sound of dripping in his shed and the rain had entered a leak in the roof and there was the portrait with a large puddle of water in the middle.
His initial response was that is that, his chance was gone, but he knew he would disappoint Charlie, so he wiped it off, got out his hair dryer, and re-laquered it. The truck picked it up later that afternoon and it arrived at the NSW Art Gallery with 2 minutes to spare!
Charles obviously didn't know this story and was shocked to hear it, but pleased it turned out ok.
The dynamics between the two very good friends was obvious, a deep mutual love in the very best of a bromance. Their story of intertwine goes back to their childhoods with Nigel's Dad catching fish for Charles' Dad's pub. Nigel is very quiet and introspective while Charles is uniquely out there, loud and a huge ego that even he will attest to.
Nigel said Charles was an unusual creature, why wouldn't you want to paint him, but we all knew it went deeper than that. Charles said it was an honour at all times to represent Nigel, who had had a terrible run with the justice system and it was a gift and his duty to see Nigel through.
Nigel spoke about how he has to paint, painting is his holiday, he shocked almost everyone when he said he wasn't entering the Archibald this year.
Nigel also spoke about why the hands were so distinctive on the painting, because he used them in court, throwing things around and such.
Charles was over the top and wild, whilst Nigel was softly spoken and quietish, yet they were like the perfect duo. It was an extreme pleasure to be in the company.
The best examples of their personalities and friendship came after the painting won the Archibald and Charles suggested they run off a few hundred lithographs and charge heaps. Nigel's response of horror was that he was not Ken Done!
Making Your Writing Pop
This was the final session of the day with Jessie Ansons, Maree Gallop, Anna Lundmark, and Diana Threlfo. The form part of a writing group who meet fortnightly to help each other with their work.
They had many great ideas from what not to do, to tips and tricks. They approached the session with a lovely mix of humour and discipline!
And it left us all keen to get home and start writing from all the inspiration we had taken in all weekend.
