Pre movie Thai dinner
My first time visit to this Thai oasis well located near Event Cinemas for a bite to eat before a movie. Love the decor and friendly service. The menu looks so interesting with lots of dishes I've never hear of before but tempt me to try. The prices seem quite reasonable too and we spotted lots of great looking dishes coming out of the kitchen while we dined. This time around it's just a quick bite to eat with the Mrs on our date night away from the kids. Betel leaf with poached prawn ($4 each) are well presented and tasty. Definitely would get these again. Chicken Satay ($12, 8 pieces) are smallish but tender and go well with some Steamed Rice ($3) as a simple meal. Next time I'd definitely want to try the Mussel Pancake and Tumeric Wafers that sound intriguing. I love how there's free parking with entry after 6 pm too so there's not rush and worry about parking.

Being a bridesmaid is a tremendous honor, and I don't know too many women who would turn down the opportunity.
Depending on how close you are to the bride and groom, it's a wonderful and fun experience to be a part of the wedding party.
Unfortunately, no one tells you how expensive it can be to be a bridesmaid.
Between the dress, the wedding gift, and multiple outings and events, the price starts to add up quickly, and that's not even including the cost of travel if the wedding is out of town.
One event you usually spend a good chunk of change on is the bridal shower. However, you don't have to spend a fortune to throw the bride a wonderful party.
Instead, follow these easy tips and tricks to throw a beautiful shower on a budget.
Keep the Location Simple
One of the biggest expenses for any event is often the venue. Where you choose to host the bridal shower can either save you tons or cost you a small fortune. Instead of spending half your budget on a fancy space, consider hosting the party at your own home.
If the affair is out of town or your space isn't bigger enough, consider other options. Maybe the bride's parents or soon-to-be in-laws would allow you to use their home. Another option is to ask around the wedding party, as someone else may have space. If you go this option, just be sure to purchase a small thank you gift for the host!
Invites Don't Have to Cost a Fortune
Before you go out and purchase expensive paper invites, explore other options. Guests are already going to receive paper "save the dates" and wedding invites. The bridal shower, however, tends to be a less formal event and therefore doesn't necessarily require you to spend lots on the invitations. If you'd like to create free invites, you can create a Facebook event or send out an e-vite.
You may have some people on the guest list who aren't exactly internet savvy. In that case, browse online for inexpensive companies or purchase blank party invitations from a card store that you can customize yourself. Moreover, if you happen to be on the crafty side, you can always make the invites yourself.
Skip the Caterer
Food is another expense that tends to rack up the price of any party rather quickly. Most of the time, the bridal party plans the shower together. If that's the case, create a menu and split up the food among the bridesmaids; have everyone contribute by cooking or baking something for the party.
Furthermore, keep the food simple. Don't try to feed everyone a three-course meal, either. Stick with finger foods, dips and hor d'oeuvres instead. And if you really want to feed everyone an actual meal, make the shower a potluck.Are you trying to throw a bridal shower on a budget? Try these 7 tips to reduce expenses and still have fun Click To Tweet
Get Creative with Favors
To be perfectly honest, in most cases, I'd skip the party favors. More often than not, party favors are small, cheap items that most people won't ever use.
However, if you or another bridesmaid insist on having them, go for easy but great options. If you're creative you can always create cute and inexpensive items like sugar scrubs, manicure kits, or cute Team Bride glasses.
A great idea is to combine the entertainment with the favors and have guests make their own as well! Another option is to shop places like Target's dollar section for budget favors. It has inexpensive but useful things that every guest would love.
DIY Décor
While party supply stores have no shortage of decorations such as Bride-to-be banners, streamers, centerpieces, garlands and balloons, you'll often end up spending more than you planned. For more decoration information, view these miami beach signs. Browse online for cheap party supplies or find tons of DIY décor ideas that are usually quick, easy, and less expensive than already-made decorations.
Furthermore, try to utilize items around your home. If your shower has a theme, look around your house for items you may already own that could be of use. You can use strings of old-fashioned Christmas lights to add ambiance, use flowers and plants as centerpieces, and maybe even use some holiday décor depending on the time of year.
It's also worth asking your fellow bridesmaids to bring contributions so you have more to work with at a fraction of the cost.
Google Easy Games
You shouldn't spend any money, or at least very little, when it comes to organizing the games. Again, utilize Pinterest and the internet to come up with fun and entertaining games everyone will enjoy.
Create a groom trivia game for the bride (and likewise one about the bride for guests), play pass the bouquet from gift ribbons and have a wedding dress competition with toilet paper. You don't need a ton of games for the shower; select a few fun ones and then allow the guests to mingle and enjoy themselves for the rest of the party.
Forget the Bakery
There's no need to pay for an expensive and fancy cake from a bakery for the bridal shower; after all, that's what the actual wedding is for. Instead, purchase or bake lots of cupcakes for guests to enjoy. The bonus with cupcakes is that you can even arrange them to look like a wedding a dress.
Another option is to buy a grocery store sheet cake and dress it up. Of course, no one said there had to be cake, either. See if the bride has a favorite dessert that would be less expensive than cake or consider frosted sugar cookies as well. When it comes to dessert your options are endless.
Throwing a bridal shower doesn't have to be a stressful or expensive affair. Sometimes the simpler events turn out more elegant and fun anyway. Keep every aspect of the shower fun and simple and be sure to enlist the help of your fellow bridesmaids. In the end, guests will have fun being together and the bride will be glad to have loved ones around her during this special time.
Have you ever thrown a bridal shower? How did you keep it budget friendly?

Air Cargo Security Program Information Collection Under Review
The Transportation Security Administration will accept public comments no later than Feb. 16, 2016, on its proposed revision to a currently approved information collection on air cargo security that covers security programs, security threat assessments on certain individuals, known shipper data via the Known Shipper Management System, the Indirect Air Carrier Management System, and evidence of compliance recordkeeping. This information collection specifically affects aircraft operators, foreign air carriers, and indirect air carriers that operate under security programs. The TSA proposes revising this collection to include information that select regulated entities operating under certain amendments to their aircraft operator and foreign air carrier security programs must provide that (a) detail screening volumes and the methodology utilized to arrive at these volumes and (b) demonstrate progress toward full compliance with the cargo security measures specified in such amendments.

A Classic on Classics!
Is that old refractor in the basement/attic worth anything? We're always saddened a bit when we see a telescope that's fallen to disuse at one of Florida's ubiquitous eternal yard sales; our belief is that a telescope providing a view of the sky is a happy telescope, whether a noble brass refractor or of the mass produced variety. It is said that when astronomer David Levy returned to a classroom to find a 6-inch reflector he donated to a classroom being used as a trash can (!) he took it straight back.
Of course, a great many of these abandoned scopes are disused 60mm refractors, department store toys gifted around the holiday season and scarcely used. This week's review, Classic Telescopes: A Guide to Collecting and Using Telescopes of Yesteryear by Neil English may be a one of a kind. Part of Patrick Moore's Practical Astronomy Series out from Springer Books, Classic Telescopes approaches the topic from a skilled collectors and telescope operators perspective. The focus is primarily on refractors of yesteryear, with a scattering of reflectors from the past century thrown in.
Chock full of photos, it's just plain fun to browse the old Dollonds, Clarks & Brashear-produced instruments and wonder what views through them might have been like. Truth is, if anyone wanted a large reflecting telescope prior to World War II, they had to build it themselves. Even after the war, the 6-inch Newtonian represented the "coin of the realm" almost right up until the advent of the Dobsonian and the 8-inch Schmidt-Cassegrain reflector in the 1970s.
Still, it's amazing the amount of craftsmanship they put into those old refractors, something seldom seen today. Classic Telescopes tells you how to spot a true original, as well as how to be wary of the numerous fakes that spring up on Ebay. Yes, there is actually a cottage industry in crafting fake antique telescopes!
It's also fun to see such time-honored classics as the Unitron and Fullerscopes get their due, along with the venerable Astro-Scans and beloved Questars. Questars are a collector's phenomenon unto themselves, and have actually appreciated in value over the years as they're sought out by collectors, a tribute to true craftsmanship.
Chances are, you just may see that first scope you had as a kid mentioned in Classic Telescopes; in our case, it was our old 60mm Jason refractor. Sure, it was a department store mass-produced jobbie, but I pushed it to the limit, scouting out the Moon, Jupiter, Saturn, & more. I remember I even homemade a set of alt-azimuth setting circles for it using two plastic protractors!
Classic Telescopes is an indispensable reference resource for anyone refurbishing or hunting for a piece of astronomical history. Interspersed with expert reviews and great close-up pics, this guide provides a unique insight into a fascinating branch of optics and astronomy. What's in YOUR attic?
Next week: We journey back into the alternate Steampunk world of the Weird West with Mike Resnick's The Doctor & the Roughrider!

'Ol' boy, am I glad this week is over or what! Thank God it's Friday.' Bolade said as he stepped out of the lecture room. It was a couple of minutes after 6pm, the sun had gone down, and a cool breeze was blowing almost lazily. It looked like rain.
'You can say that again, pal.' Emeka responded. 'And they say the final year is the least stressful one. We weren't even given the customary first week off to settle down and all. Men have to unwind big time tonight.'
They have been buddies since their first year in college. Roommates as freshmen and happened to be in the same department, after getting to know each other they got along quite easily; basically due to their drive for academic excellence. Bolade got along alright with a lot of folks but Emeka is the closest to what he could call a best friend on campus.
'Fo' shizzle hommie. Let's just get these photocopies done at the student union building, I drop you off at home then pick u up later at eight o'clock. The Bukateria should be fun to hang out at tonight.' Bolade said.
'Ok, sounds like a good plan.' Emeka had a mischievous smile playing at the corner of his mouth. 'What about Tolulope tonight?'
Pause here.
Read. If you haven't read the first episode, stop right now and follow this link to episode one (https://www.360nobs.com/2010/04/bolade-you-are-episode-1/). As mentioned in the introduction (https://www.360nobs.com/2010/04/bolade-you-are-introduction/), we will be writing this story together and from the comments after the previous episode, majority of you guys voted for option #2 which is "Ask Tolulope to hold off giving Tunde an answer and think about what she really wants." Bolade did exactly what you suggested and with that, the story continues thus…
'Oh yeah, one of her roomies is having a birthday party at the Bukateria tonight. I'm to hook up with her after that and then…' Bolade's voice trailed off to an awkward silence.
'Goodness gracious!' Emeka exclaimed with laughter. 'All I need do is to bring her name up in a conversation and you turn jellyfish on me. You really got it bad, man!'
'Oh, shut the heck up!' There was no mirth is Bolade's voice. He was beginning to feel the all too familiar coldness in his belly. The week hasn't been so easy for him after asking Tolulope to give it more thought before making a decision between him and the Tunde dude. He found his mind drifting off at times in class; he gave Tolulope as much space as he could during the week, only calling once in the evening, daily, to find out how her day went and some occasional text messages. No pressure, he told himself, this has to be natural or else it won't be worth it.
'Ok, ok…chill. I'm sorry' Emeka said but the teasing grin never left his face. 'I'm sure she would make a good decision. I mean who is this Tunde dude by the way; you are the man, man.'
He gave Bolade a friendly punch on the shoulder. They were already at the Student Union building, the queue in front of the photocopying machines was not so long, although the building was rather crowded probably due to the student union election holding in two weeks time. Fifteen minutes later, they were out of the building. Ten minutes later, Bolade had dropped Emeka off and was on his way home.
He got home a little bit exhausted, not as much physically as he was mentally. He had played how the end would end over and over in his mind; the positive scenario ends with him falling asleep on his bed, the happiest man in the world, negative one ends with him sleeping off in his car in front of his house, ultra depressed.
'Oh! What tha heck!' he said out loud, shaking his head vigorously as if it would clear his mind. 'What tha frigging heck!' He poured himself a cup of soda, grabbed some leftover slices of pizza from his fridge and shoved it inside the microwave oven and headed for the bathroom. In spite of the coolness of the evening, he needed a cold shower, badly.
After his makeshift dinner and failed attempt to catch a quick nap, Bolade picked up his class notes to review the week's lectures. Not that he was able to assimilate anything, but before he knew it his alarm went off signaling it was time to get dressed, go pick up Emeka and head to the campus Bukateria.
'Isn't that IK getting out of that CLK?' Bolade asked Emeka as he pulled into the Bukateria.
'Haha! Yeah…it's the marafawka, mehn, I didn't know he got a Benz now.' Emeka said; opening the car door even before Bolade pulled the brakes.
IK is Emeka's cousin. A man's man. He is the guy who enters the most boring party and turns it into a rave effortlessly. It was said that if there were to be a popularity contest on campus, IK would take the first position with no runners up. People always wondered how he combines such a vibrant social life with the stress of medical school.
'Eyin boys, wetin dey happen?' IK was full of smiles as he fist bumped and hugged Emeka and Bolade. 'Wow! Good to see you guys around here tonight for a change. All work and no play…no be so e suppose dey!'
The Bukateria was already full of life, lights and sound. It was as if there was a party going on already in most of the shops and bars. IK suggested not entering any of the bars so he guided them to the open space in the middle of the Bukateria where they were able to get a free table. They were on the second round of drinks, catching up on general events during the break when a tall light complexioned guy with a frail but muscular frame sauntered over to their table. He set his glass cup on their table, rudely. Two other guys were behind him, gingerly holding their beer bottles and puffing on what looked like cigarette sticks with the other hand.
'Hey you!' The light complexioned guy started. His voice was surprisingly mild for his attitude. 'You must be Bolade, right?' The last word left his mouth with a sneer.
'And who cares to know?' Bolade was not smiling. His heartbeat increased but his expression betrayed no emotion, but his voice was on the edge.
'Bolade, just relax.' IK reached out and patted Bolade's hand in an effort to calm him down. He then looked up to the light complexioned guy with a fixed smile. 'Hi Tunde, what can we do for you tonight?'
'Oh!' The light complexioned guy looked surprised. He turned back to the guys behind him. 'IK is here. Say hi to IK.' It was hard to determine whether that was sarcasm or not.
Bolade opened his mouth to say something but stopped himself just in time. Tunde? No. It can't be.
'Ok, young man. Listen carefully.' The light complexioned guy who IK called Tunde took a more serious tone as he turned his face squarely to Bolade. 'The girl you've been disturbing since you got back to campus – Tolulope – is mine, ok? So let this be my first and last warning to you. Back the f*&k off!' With that, he turned and left with his goons, leaving his cup on their table. Emeka looked stunned. IK sat there in silence, his gaze fixed on Bolade, quizzically.
'Tolulope? The girl you were just telling me about?' IK asked.
'Yes. And who the eff was that?' Bolade's voice trembled a bit.
'Someone you don't want to mess with on this campus.' IK replied. His voice was sober. 'If he tells you to back off, you should give it some serious thoughts. No girl should be worth the trouble.'
'Dude, are you kidding me?' Emeka found his voice at last, after downing the remaining content of his bottle. 'So you mean Bolade should just forget about a girl he has been programming for the past seven months because of one baseless threat from that tout! I don't think so.'
'Well, I'm just saying. The guy knows some bad guys.' IK replied. 'I don't know how much of a bad guy he is but he is definitely connected.'
'Eff that ish, men.' Bolade's voice hardened. 'Where are we? High school? Let's just forget about him and enjoy the rest of the evening together. I'm seeing Tolulope in an hour's time.'
Their conversation was never the same again between the trio. Bolade could see IK was disturbed after the encounter and he didn't find that comforting. He tried to put on a carefree attitude till he left Emeka and IK at the table. He took off to the north side of the Bukateria where he was to meet Tolulope after her roommate's party. His heartbeat increased steadily as he approached the venue.
Would it actually be better if I get rejected after the threat tonight?
He would definitely feel some sort of relief but the thought of losing Tolulope was too much to bear. Talk less of losing her to such a jerk. How did Tolulope allow such an asshole to get close to her? This is not good. Gosh!
'Bloke, I have been waiting for like forever' Tolulope's voice broke his thoughts. He forced a smile, and thanked God he couldn't see her face well in the poor light.
'Hey babe, howdy? Hope you guys had fun.' Bolade said.
'Sure we did.' She said. 'Gimme a minute.'
She said goodnight to some of her friends who were packing up after the party and came back to Bolade, she was grinning mischievously. Bolade's heart missed a beat or two.
'So?' The words dropped out of Bolade's mouth before he knew it.
She laughed heartily.
'Haba! You can't even wait.' She teased. 'Yes, I will love to be your girlfriend!'
She moved closer and gave him a hug, followed by a light kiss on the cheek.
Bolade could:
i) Hug her back, return the kiss and tell Tolulope he is the happiest man in the world.
ii) Tell Tolulope about Tunde's threat and tell her he can't start a relationship with her.
iii) Tell Tolulope about Tunde's threat and let her know he is ignoring the threat.
What do you think Bolade should do?

MIG Welding
MIG Welding is shorthand for Metal Inert Gas Welding. It is also known as GMAW or Gas Metal Arc Welding. MIG Welding is a welding process which uses an electric arc between a consumable wire electrode and the work pieces to heat the work pieces which causes them to fuse together. The welding gun feeds the welding wire (aka filler metal) which is surrounded by a shielding gas to protect the metal fusion from contaminants in air and create the precise desired chemical reaction.
Four (4) common methods of metal transfer are predominant in MIG Welding. They are:
- Globular Transfer
- Short-Circuit Transfer
- Spray Transfer
- Pulsed-Spray Transfer
The transfer method in use depends upon the voltage and wire feed speed settings on the MIG welding power supply. Each method has it's sweet spot depending upon type of metal being welded, thickness of metal and speed of transfer required.
Praxair Distribution, Inc. is expert at selecting the perfect shielding gas and wire combinations to maximize travel speeds while minimizing spatter and other imperfections.

Amanda Steel's YouTube channel is so popular in part because she's really honest with her fans. You feel like she's your actual friend. And if you do follow her, you know about her struggles with acne, which she's talked about in the past. But for the first time, she's opening up about how she cleared up her skin and how she keeps her complexion pimple-free.
Mandy makes one important note at the beginning of her video. And that's she worked with a dermatologist. If you are struggling with your skin, that should be your first step. An acne prescription in conjunction with topical treatments worked for Mandy, but everyone's skin is different and you should talk to a doc about it.
In addition to seeing a derm, Mandy worked on her nighttime skincare routine. She washes her face every night, and if she's feeling too lazy, she uses cleansing wipes that she keeps in her room. And when is feeling dry from acne treatments, she using both a moisturizing toner and an oil-free moisturizer on top.

Limited space remains available for boys age 15-18 to enroll at this summer's Cal Varsity Rugby Camp, the premier on-campus student-athlete experience for aspiring collegiate rugby players, held July 24-27 at the University of California.
Now in its third decade, Cal Varsity Rugby Camp continues to be a life-changing experience for campers who improve their skills and mature as young men under the guidance of U.S. Rugby and Cal Athletics Hall of Fame head coach Jack Clark, fellow U.S. Rugby Hall of Famer and associate head coach Tom Billups, and assistant coach and former U.S. international player Mike MacDonald. The trio leads a staff that includes current varsity players and experts across a range of disciplines, offering campers significant experience both as a rugby athlete and a prospective college student.
The time-tested success of Cal Varsity Rugby Camp is evidenced by the high rate of returning campers and the continual arrival of campers whose fathers also benefited from the camp in their teens. Campers hail from across the nation and around the world, a profile consistent with the undergraduate student body at the University. Overnight dormitory accommodations are provided on campus, with on-field training balanced with off-the-field sessions in a variety of topics including rugby tactics and strategy, rugby laws, academic advising, strength and conditioning, nutrition and drug awareness with Department of Athletics professionals and other special guests.
Take the jump to read more.
In addition to their daily training sessions and an orientation of the Simpson High-Performance Center, campers are led through their days at seminars and clinics, with competitions featuring controlled match conditions that evolve into full contact. All meals are provided on campus, with evenings dedicated to valuable camper feedback before overnight campers checked in at an on-campus dormitory.
All attendees are provided personal camp jerseys and campers' hydration needs are fulfilled by camp sponsor Gatorade. Laundry services of training kit are tended to each day by Intercollegiate Athletics Equipment Services, and campers are supervised 24 hours a day, including at the dormitories, where the staff resided with the campers.
The final day of camp features "Golden Bear Rules," a controlled-scrimmage-tournament that culminates in a Grand Final on the superb Witter Rugby Field. Family and friends in attendance will also enjoy seeing campers receive their certificates of completion, along with several individual awards, at the conclusion of camp.
Participants at the Cal Varsity Rugby Camp benefit from the same high-performance environment that has helped the Golden Bears, founded in 1882 and the oldest team in Cal Intercollegiate Athletics, earn 135 All-America honors and make 714 appearances and counting on the U.S. National Team for 15s. Campers learned the same fundamentals that have served as the bedrock for Cal rugby's 28 national titles in 15s earned since 1980, five consecutive 7s crowns at the Collegiate Rugby Championships from 2013-17 and two gold medals at the Summer Olympics, where former Cal standout Danny Barrett competed for Team USA at the 2016 Rio Games and continues to shine along with other Rugby Bears on the international stage.
To register for Cal Varsity Rugby Camp, visit calsportscamps.com/rugby. For questions regarding the camp registration process, please contact US Sports Camps at (800) 645-3226. For all other camp-related questions, please contact Cal Rugby Assistant Coach Mike MacDonald (510) 643-1971.

If you are an expert in SEO and want to help people in need of SEO services as well as make some money, you may find a suitable place online. Everyday thousands of new sites are being created with thousands of different purposes. The aim of these site owners is to rank their sites on search engines for their preferable keywords. If you help them do it, they will not mind paying you for your work.
These people basically look for people expert in SEO field with good knowledge and experience. If you consider yourself as an expert in SEO and feel that you can help these people, you really have a good future in this market. With thousands of new sites being created every single day, the opportunities are truly endless in the coming years.
A professional SEO service for a new site costs really high. Since it's an ongoing process, people with small budget can't afford it for most of the time. However, there are people who can offer this kind of services for a small fee that many would be able to afford.
If you consider yourself as the one who can help these people and provide a few small SEO services like link building, directory submission, article marketing, blog commenting and a lot more, you should utilize your talent to make some money.
This article consists of some of the best places online where you can find this kind of opportunities to make money. If you are highly interested to make money online as well as an expert in providing SEO services, you may join any of the sites mentioned below to test your ability.
Fiverr – The World's Largest Marketplace.
Fiverr, known as the largest global online marketplace for small services, is probably the best place to utilize your SEO talent. Although, it's not basically built for SEO services, it is one of the biggest marketplace for small SEO services with millions of visitors every month. As a SEO expert, it is the best place to look for your customers.
Fiverr is basically a marketplace of tasks and services categorized in 13 different categories and 115 sub-categories. These tasks or services are also called 'gigs' or 'micro-jobs' beginning at a cost of $5 for each job performed. Currently, Fiverr lists more than 1.3 million services on the site that range between $5 and $500.
The site has a reputation-based promotion system. If a seller can successfully complete at least 10 transactions, Fiverr increases their value on their site. The seller is also provided with advanced tools to offer add-on services. In this way, the seller becomes popular and the number of orders also increases for their high rating. As a result, the seller makes more money on Fiverr.
So you can understand that it all depends on the quality of the services you provide. If your customers like your services and provide positive reviews on the site, you will be rated higher. More people will believe in your words and you will get more orders. Around 15% of the sellers consider Fiverr as their main source of income. Read How To Make Money From Your YouTube Videos?
It is a place where you can create an online business out of your hobbies. This is something that most people on Fiverr actually do and make money at the same time. If you want to utilize your talent even not only in the SEO field, Fiverr is a highly recommended platform. Although, there are many other sites built later with the same kind of concept, Fiverr is a much better place comparing to all.
Click Here to Sign Up for Fiverr. But you must remember that it takes time and effort to build a solid reputation and make money on the internet. Take it just as starting a new business and making it a successful one. Just as it takes time to make a business successful in real world, it takes the same amount of effort online. As you make your reputation through your services, money will follow.
SEOClerks: Affordable SEO Marketplace.
The next biggest global marketplace for small SEO services is certainly The SEOClerks. SEOClerks is basically a marketplace for SEO services. Thousands of people gather at SEOClerks every day to satisfy their SEO needs. More than 25% of SEOClerks sellers who are expert in providing SEO services consider it as one of their primary income source.
It started in 2011 and has soon proved itself as one of the best global marketplace for SEO services. There are people who consider SEOClerks is much better than Fiverr for their $1 services. On Fiverr, you will not find any service that costs as low as $1. The smallest amount that a buyer has to pay on Fiverr is $5. But, on SEOClerks, a seller can list the services for even $1 and it makes SEOClerks a much better place for people with small budget.
Apart from SEO services, they have a special category for site reviews which is really awesome for marketers. If you are just looking for traffic to your site, they have a special category for that as well. Fiverr doesn't provide these features and these facts make SEOClerks a much better place comparing to Fiverr.
For a beginner, you can earn $2 just for tweeting a message about them using your Twitter account. The site has a splendid support with loads of competitions, affiliate programs, more IM based services and money giveaways. As a seller, you can make money doing what you can do and as a buyer, you can fulfill your SEO requirements. So it's a win-win situation for everyone. If you want to join SEOClerks to make some additional income, Click Here to Visit SEOClerks.
How These Sites Work and Help You Make Money.
You may have already realized that this kind of sites work as a place where people gather as a buyer or as a seller. You can join these sites using any one of these roles or both of the roles. It doesn't matter which role you choose to join, you always get a benefit. Either you make money as a seller or you fulfill your own requirements as a buyer.
These sites work like a super market of real world where you get a lot of options to choose from as a buyer and you get huge audience for your products or services as a seller. If you choose to be a seller and provide an awesome service, it is not really difficult to gain attention within a few days.
When more people will know about the kind of service you provide, you will get more customers for your services. As a result, it will not be difficult for you to make money on these sites. However, the amount you will make here will entirely depend on the quality of your service. If your quality of service is excellent, you can expect repeat customers and stick to these sites for long.
Here Are Some Recommended Alternatives.
There are many other sites created with the same concept. But, it must be mentioned that Fiverr and SEOClerks are the biggest player in this market. Since, all of these sites work almost in the same way; it is a good idea to give a brief description about all of them. Because, you can easily find it visiting the sites. What is more important is to know about them.
Here are some more sites that you can use as alternatives. Since, all the sites work in the same way; it's better to directly visit the sites for more information. Some of these sites you can choose to make more money and expand your reach are : BuySellSEO, Yooker, Gigbucks, Fourerr, Tenrr and Twentyville.
Important Things To Remember.
Of course, there are many other sites like this. If you search Google for Fiverr alternatives or SEOClerks alternatives, you will discover many more sites. But it is not recommended to join all the sites you visit. Before you make your mind to join a site, have a look at the Alexa rank of the site as indication to how much visitors it receives. Read How To Really Make Money Online For Free?
A low ranking means more visitors and a high ranking means that the site doesn't get significant amount of visitors. Before you choose a site to join, you should know that if a site doesn't receive a lot visitors, it may be scam and just created to make money out of your pocket. If a site receives high volume of visitors, it means that the owner of the site is quite serious about the business. Buyers and sellers are happy resulting in more visitors.
Although, we can't say that all the sites that don't receive enough visitors are scam, it can surely be said that there is less opportunity for you to make some money.
Less people visiting the sites mean less customers for your services. You can't expect to earn well using these sites. So it's better to stick with the sites that receive thousands of visitors.
However, if you are looking for ways to reach more customers to make more money, you may sometimes test these sites. After all, you are intelligent enough to make your own decisions.

CEREC (Chair-side Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics) is a form of dental restoration using computer-aided design and manufacturing. The advantage of using a CEREC is the dentist can construct, produce, and insert individual ceramic restorations directly in a single visit versus multiple appointments; you will only receive a numbing anesthetic once. Furthermore; the process produces: a plaque resistant, anti-abrasive material that matches the appearance of a tooth. This means no more dis-coloration, leaks, or cracks in the fillings.
The Procedure
1. The dentist examines the tooth and determines if it needs a filling or a full crown.
2. The patient is administered an anesthetic and prepped for the restoration process by removing any weakened tooth tissue.
3. The dentist takes an optical impression of the tooth by first coating a non-toxic powder and then taking a digital picture using a special camera called OMINICAM.
4. Using the 3d generated image of the tooth, the dentist then designs the restoration using the CEREC software.
5. The restoration data is sent to a milling machine which produces a ceramic block matching your tooth shade.
6. Within approximately 10-20 minutes your tooth restoration is complete and ready to be bond in place.

Hello all, not much to report on today. Linda went home this morning, so Imogen and I had a lazy day at home. However I thought I would share a couple of photos of our potted vegie patch. Its not much at this stage, with winter not far off, but it is a start, and we are enjoying watching them all grow.
So far we have a capiscum plant, brussel sprouts for Barry, brocoli, Imogen has her carrots just sprouting, hopefully in time for the easter bunny, if not for snow men in the winter, and I have my parsley which has finally just sprouted.
Tomorrow we are going to plant silver beet for the birds and onions.
Barry will be home tomorrow afternoon for the night and hopefully we will go up to the top of Mount Pleasant and watch "Sky Fire" which is a huge fire work display over the lake. I really dont like my chances trying to get a good vantage point on the lake, so we will stay close to home and hopefully get a good spot on Mount Pleasant. Nightey night for now....

How well do you cook or bake? I'm not the greatest cook. There, I said it, and I may even go as far to say I can be pretty lame. I never claimed to be a chef and I have a history of burning things. It's not because of lack of effort, it's just that I don't quite get the relationship of heat with certain foods, plus I sometimes forget to spray the cooking spray or set the timer. Still, I'd like to teach you how even a lame cook can make vegan taquitos (and if you stick with me long enough – I eventually get to it at the bottom of this post!).
I don't let being a little lame stop me and if you're like me, then neither should you. Despite being a crappy cook, I still do it because I actually enjoy doing it. It feeds something in me to feed others, plus baking is kind of awesome. I really enjoy the creative aspect of decorating cookies, cakes, and etc for my kid's parties. I've really made some awful looking desserts too, but I keep doing it.
One time I attempted to make an all-natural and organic strawberry cake and it was fine, except I had made it for my daughter's birthday / family get together and my parents and brother love their desserts and were barely capable of hiding their true disappointment in my bland failure when I say "It's organic"!
Nonetheless, I still try and try and try again. I just want to get better at it, plus, occasionally….. Things turn out AMAZING. Like back in 2009 (before I went 100% vegan from being vegetarian) when I made these minion cupcakes below. Today, I still struggle even more with baking because I'm using egg substitutes that are new to me. If you want to learn more about the minion cupcake recipe though, here is a quick photo tutorial.
So, all you lame cooks – let's get to making what you came here for. Vegan Taquitos.
First off, I love taquitos from Wholefoods. There's a store within 5 minutes of my office and I go there at least once a week to get the vegan taquitos for lunch. Their so simple too and seem like just corn tortillas and a vegan meet substitute. I probably enjoy them a little too much.
Since I like them so much and they seem simple enough, I was inspired to create some of my own at home that my family and I could start making regularly as a dinner option. I'd say they were a success! We didn't use any soy based meat substitutes because those really aren't budget friendly and I want to make these more than occasionally.
When we're meal planning, we like to use whole ingredients (Raw, Canned, or frozen) as often as we can because buying those in bulk is less expensive and goes a longer way. So, you'll notice that my taquitos have beans and rice instead.'
- 1 x CAN of Refried Beans
- 1 x CAN of Black Beans
- 1 x Box of Mexican Rice
- 1 x CUP of corn (frozen or canned)
- 1 x Package of Corn Tortillas
- Thoroughly cook and prepare the box of Mexican rice being sure to follow those directions on the box
- Get all your other ingredients out of their packages.
- Set your oven to 400 degrees.
- If you bought frozen corn, heat that up for 1 minute in the microwave. They don't need to be completely thawed because they'll cook in the oven.
- Microwave up to 6 corn tortillas for 30 seconds. This makes them soft and will prevent cracking when you roll your taquitos. If they get cool, heat them back up again. Stick to heating up a small quantity too because any more than 6 or so, it takes more effort to get each tortilla the right amount of warmth and softness.
- Laying a tortilla flat or putting it in the palm of your hand, go ahead and ill the center of the tortilla with a tablespoon or less of each ingredient. It depends on how thick you want the rolls.
- On a flat surface, roll the tortilla on one side over your filling ingredients, then keep rolling.
- Place the rolled taquito (fold side) down on your baking pan
- Continue the above steps until you've filled your pan.
- Keep the taquitos ½" apart from each other.
- Put your taquitos in the oven and set your timer for 15 minutes.
- Once 15 minutes is up, pull out your pan and carefully flip your taquitos over. They should be someone hardened by now enough that flipping them over is not messy.
- Put the pan of flipped taquitos back in the oven for another 8 minutes (don't be lame and burn these – so set a timer, won't ya!)
TADA! There you have it. EASY to make vegan taquitos right?
Serve your vegan taquitos with a side of avocado and your left over Mexican rice and your family should be impressed by your not so crappy dish 🙂
Here are the challenges I had. Learn from my struggles:
TIP #1 – rolling the vegan taquitos is hard if they're not the right temperature. They need to be almost scolding hot out of the microwave. If not, they may start to crack on you once you put them rolled on your pan.
TIP #2 – the last 8 minutes could end up being 15 minutes. You'll want to check yours to see how crispy or soft you want you taquitos.
TIP #3 – Don't overstuff them. It will seem weird not to put that much in the center but I prefer my taquitos almost bite size and some of the ones I made were pretty big!
What are some other things you've tried and been successful at?
Is there something I could try for you before you fail at it? Let me know how I can help!
