Do you know how many people asked for pictures of my house? Here's what I have to say to you all… come visit and see it in person! Okay. Okay. I know only two or three of you will, but I seriously wish we had more people to fill these empty rooms. What empty rooms, you say? Well, we settled on renting a five bedroom (plus helper's room which we use for storage), six bath monstrosity that is obviously way too big for our needs. After many weeks of negotiations though, we talked the price down and included a few extra important bits into the monthly price, so we decided to go with the house that was less than a block away from the preschool, 6 minutes drive to Kimono Hubby's office, 4 block walk to the mall and grocery store. The big ole lap pool didn't hurt when we factored it into the equation too. We are only here temporarily, so why not live like we are on holiday for a few years, even if I have to clean all that square footage all by myself. I just make the kids walk around with mop shoes on to get our floors all sparkly clean!
Here begins your virtual tour of my humble *ahem* abode…
After entering the security gate, you first arrive here at our pool… complete with an adjoining bar and an upper deck where I can lounge the hot days away under the fans above. If you aren't a pool or drinking person… well then you just can't be my friend. But if you aren't, there is still a TV to watch above the bar and surround sound that connects to your IPhone and will play your favorite tunes throughout the house.
After removing your shoes, as this is an Asian home, you will find yourself in the living room with a 40+ inch TV and again more surround sound… which is great… except that if you are watching a good movie with your darling husband late in the evening and the music implodes at that crucial scene, you WILL wake the children sleeping above you.
A few steps up and there is the dining room with its Italian tree trunk wall. Pass by that and there is the entertainment room which we use as a play room. It really is underutilized with its projector screen movie capabilities, karaoke machine and other various Chinese entertainment equipment which I mostly just dust and then ignore as I have no idea how to work the lot of it.
Into the worst designed kitchen I have ever seen. Well, actually there are two. Yes, two. A wet kitchen (for messier Chinese cooking) and a dry kitchen (for cleaner Western cooking… but they obviously haven't seen me cook). The dry kitchen is first and houses no fridge, but will some have a custom made wine cooler at the landlord's suggestion. Not sure what used to be there, but there is a large empty space in the wall so the landlord offered a wine cooler. Only, there was no wine cooler of that large size to be purchased. So he is having one made. I like wine, but I'm not certain I will have 80 bottles of it to fill this thing. I'm going to take it on as a challenge to drink more wine however. I also have an induction stove in this kitchen. This stove literally broke me when we move in. I cried making dinner on multiple nights. I wish I was kidding. I finally begged the landlord to provide me with the manuals and after a lot of research, he delivered. Of course, the manuals said nothing of how only certain types of pans work with this stove. Another hard lesson. I finally can make the thing work. Not well. I either cook things way too slow or burn the crap out of them. Hence why the dinner invites have been slow to happen as I just can't stand the thought of cooking for more than my tiny crew. And if you say bake something, I will bite you. Let's not even talk about the two ovens which also helped in said breaking of me. Pass through the door and you enter the wet kitchen… where the fridge is. And another stove. This one gas, but not plugged into a gas line like in the US, but plugged into a gas canister under the stove like an outside grill. Did I mention that to turn it on, you have to flip a light switch to turn on the electric that then allows you to use a match to light the gas stove? And then you better stay back, because that bad boy LIGHTS! Ask me how I found out. Pfft.
Second floor – there are four bedrooms there. The junior master suite which the boys decided to share so they could get their coveted bunk bed. They have their own walk in closet, which we use to store luggage because boys don't really have THAT many clothes. They have a glass tiled rain shower too which they think is the bomb. Another bedroom was turned into the guest room and has its own bathroom that is actually hidden in compartments behind a sliding wall. One compartment – toilet. Another compartment – sink. Another compartment shower. Come visit and stay in your own suite! The other two bedrooms were turned into a library and an office. The boys love the library and quiet time in there. In fact, I think this is probably their favorite room.
And the third floor – now typically Kimono Hubby and I would choose to stay on the same floor of the house as the boys, but when we saw this master suite, we just couldn't give it up. Oh… and there is an outside gym across the hall from our room so we can do an early morning workout without interrupting the kiddos from their sleep. But the room! We have a velvet wall behind our bed and no I am not kidding. There is surround sound in this room, but the great thing is the extra large projection screen that drops out of the ceiling. Family movie night has never been so awesome! We get to snuggle in bed during a theater experience! I think this will be a must in at least one room of whatever houses we get in the future. Here, all the ladies can be jealous and laugh at me at the same time… we have a walk in closet like something off of MTV cribs. There are closets for high heels, closets for coats, for clothes, clothes and more clothes and where most are empty as I didn't bring all of my clothes because why would I bring winter stuff when it is always 90 and above, for goodness sakes?? There is a built in vanity where I sit to put jewelry on… jewelry that also sits in individuals pockets in the built in island in the middle of the closet, where the top case is where you can lay your watches out for easy choosing. Ummm… I have two watches. It's one empty watch case. KH actually fills his side better as he can roll each one of his ties up and put them in their individual compartments. He even has more clothes than me. In a country where shopping reigns supreme, there is something terribly wrong with this picture.
Last but not least is our master bath, where the toilet is enclosed in a glass room with a door. What the hell is the use of a glass room for your toilet? If it is purely for stink purposes, I pity the woman that had to live with that man. Moving on… the bath and shower room are open and the ceiling is glass. So basically, I can shower night or day and stare up at the sky while I enjoy yet another rain shower faucet… or another rain shower outside as it is pouring right now… again. Our tub is a massive Jacuzzi which the boys get more use out of than me. I can't stand the thought of a hot bath when I have been hot all day. In fact, you actually have to turn the hot water on in each room that you need it when you need it. I only turn mine on to wash dishes. Taking a hot shower is the last thing on my mind here when I have pretty much sweated for the 16 hours I have been awake. Oh, and did I mention there is a TV in the bathroom? I can shower and not miss the news!
And this concludes our tour of the major perks and downfalls of my new Singaporean home. While I may joke about it, I certainly can't complain about it. I know how truly blessed we are for yet another overseas experience. And I know how lucky I am to get to enjoy this house for a few years. I would however enjoy it more if a few of you wanted to come live with me. Takers?

Dorothy West (writer)
Dorothy West
|June 2, 1907
Boston, Massachusetts, United States
|August 16, 1998 (aged 91)
Boston, Massachusetts, United States
|Novelist, short story writer, columnist
|Notable works
|The Living Is Easy (1948);
The Wedding (1995)
Dorothy West (June 2, 1907 – August 16, 1998) was an American novelist and short story writer during the time of the Harlem Renaissance. She is best known for her novel The Living Is Easy, as well as many other short stories and essays, about the life of an upper-class black family.
Early years[edit]
Dorothy West was born in Boston, Massachusetts, on June 2, 1907, to Virginian Isaac Christopher West, who was formerly enslaved and later became a successful businessman, and Rachel Pease Benson of Camden, South Carolina, one of 22 children. The poet Helene Johnson was her cousin. West reportedly wrote her first story at the age of seven. Her first short story, "Promise and Fulfillment", was published in the Boston Post when she was 14 years old,[1] and she won several local writing competitions. West attended Girls' Latin school, now called Boston Latin Academy, graduating at 16, and went on to Boston University and the Columbia University School of Journalism.[2]
In 1926, she tied for second place in a writing contest sponsored by Opportunity, a journal published by the National Urban League, with her short story "The Typewriter". The person West tied with was future novelist Zora Neale Hurston.[3]
Between 1928 and 1930, some of West's other early writings were published in the Saturday Evening Quill, a short-lived annual literary magazine that grew out of a literary club of the same name, of which West was a founding member.[4]
Harlem Renaissance[edit]
Shortly before winning the Opportunity writing contest, West moved to Harlem with her cousin, the poet Helene Johnson. There West met other writers of the Harlem Renaissance, including Langston Hughes, Countee Cullen, and the novelist Wallace Thurman. West was quoted as saying in 1995: "We didn't know it was the Harlem Renaissance, because we were all young and all poor."[5] Hughes gave West the nickname of "The Kid", by which she was known during her time in Harlem, and she was among a group of African Americans who traveled with him on a trip to Russia in 1932 for a film about American race relations.[2][6] The film never came to fruition, though she and Hughes remained in Russia for a year.[7] Her 1985 essay "An Adventure in Moscow" (published in the Vineyard Gazette)[8] records an encounter with the film director Sergei Eisenstein.[3]
Great Depression[edit]
During the Great Depression, West's principal contribution to the Harlem Renaissance was to publish the magazine Challenge, which she founded with $40 in 1934, the final issue being published in spring 1937.[3] She also published the magazine's radical though shortlived successor, New Challenge, which published Richard Wright's groundbreaking essay "Blueprint for Negro Writing", together with writings by Margaret Walker and Ralph Ellison, but closed after one issue.[3]
In her later years West had become aware that, up until the Harlem Renaissance, it was almost impossible for a black woman to sustain a career in writing. She was in fact one of the first black female writers to have her works published. This later served as a permanent reminder that African-American women were not always recognized. West had explained in an interview that, due to the publishers' lack of interest, the audience never had a chance to be present. She also attributed her spark of inspiration, to her aunt's subscription to the NAACP's magazine Crisis. Two years before she died, West won an Anisfield-Wolf Book Award for Lifetime Achievement.[1]
Literary works[edit]
After both magazines folded because of insufficient financing, West worked for the Works Progress Administration's Federal Writers' Project until the mid-1940s. During this time she wrote a number of short stories for the New York Daily News, where she was the first black writer published.[9] She then moved to Oak Bluffs on Martha's Vineyard, where she wrote her first novel, The Living Is Easy. Featuring an ironic sense of humor unique to West's style, the story chronicles the life of a young southern girl in pursuit of the upper class lifestyle. Published in 1948, the novel was well received critically but did not sell many copies.
In the subsequent four decades, West worked as a journalist, primarily writing for a small newspaper on Martha's Vineyard. In 1948, she started a weekly column about Oak Bluffs people, events, and nature. In 1982 The Feminist Press brought The Living Is Easy back into print, giving new attention to West and her role in the Harlem Renaissance; she was included in the 1992 anthology Daughters of Africa (ed. Margaret Busby). As a result of this renewed attention, at the age of 85 West finally finished a second novel, entitled The Wedding, which portrayed the message that while race may be a false distinction, love knows no bounds. Published to acclaim in 1995 — the Publishers Weekly review stated: "West's first novel in 45 years is a triumph."[10] — the novel was a best-seller and resulted in the publication of a collection of West's short stories and reminiscences called The Richer, the Poorer. Oprah Winfrey turned the novel into a 1998 two-part television miniseries, The Wedding.
West died on August 16, 1998, at the age of 91, at the New England Medical Center in Boston. Though her cause of death was never officially released, it is suspected that she died of natural causes. At her death, she was one of the last surviving members of the Harlem Renaissance. When asked what she wanted her legacy to be, she responded with "That I hung in there. That I didn't say I can't."

Wow! It's Cyber Monday and almost December! With everything going on in November, I feel like I lost a whole month, but for as bad as November was for me, I know December is going to be just fabulous! It's a new week, and almost a new month, so let's get a fresh start with some new music.
I was so thrilled to see the return of Missy Elliott at the SuperBowl earlier this year, and I'm even more thrilled to see she got back in the studio to rock some new tracks for us. This is her newest single guaranteed to get stuck in your head. I love all the retro styles in the video, and how about those cool marionettes of Missy and Pharrell?! Some little creepy cool lookalikes with string dance moves. As always Missy hits us with her impossible to replicate lyrics, so while I'm bobbin my head to the beat I won't be singing along to this one. Here's Where They From by Missy Eliott featuring Pharell.
Have a Super awesome week!

Music Monday, Better When I'm Dancin'
Happy Monday! It's Thanksgiving week, and despite a very difficult last few weeks, I still have a lot to be thankful for. With my little brother's sudden death, I'm reminded of just how short life is and how important the connections we make in life are. I'm so grateful for family, friends, and co-workers that have supported me in so many ways through this very difficult time. I still have moments of sadness, but I have so many more reasons to smile, and I certainly feel better when I'm dancing!
This Music Monday song is Meghan Trainor's "Better When I'm Dancin'"

"Winston Riley (14 May 1943 – 19 January 2012) was a Jamaican singer, songwriter and record producer. According to the Jamaica Gleaner, Riley had a claim to being the most successful reggae producer of all-time. Riley was born in Kingston, Jamaica. His entry into the music industry was at 16 years old in 1962, when he formed The Techniques harmony group, which recorded their first tracks for Byron Lee, and then later recorded for Duke Reid. In 1968, he left the group and formed his own Techniques record label, moving into production, producing artists like Boris Gardiner, The Escorts, Alton and Hortense Ellis, and Johnny Osbourne."
"… Riley's career began as a singer in 1962 when he formed the vocal harmony group The Techniques with Keith 'Slim' Smith, Frederick Waite and Franklyn White. The group regularly performed at (future Jamaican Prime Minister) Edward Seaga's venue Chocomo Lawn; their debut single 'No One' was released exclusively in the United Kingdom on Columbia Records. The Techniques first Jamaican tracks were recorded for Coxsone Dodd's Studio One label in 1965. The shift in Jamaican music from ska to rocksteady and a move to Duke Reid's Treasure Isle label brought The Techniques a spate of hits in 1967 including 'Queen Majesty' and 'You Don't Care' which are now regarded as classics."

Some Britons woke up to see blankets of snow this Friday, as meteorologists warned that snow up to 20 cm could hit some parts of the country.
Major snowfall that is predicted for parts of Britain this weekend could cause disruption in certain areas.
Snowfall and icy winds are expected to hit parts of Scotland, Wales, southwest and northern England, the Yorkshire and Humber region, the Midlands, and the home counties, according to weather.com.
Quite a few people have woken up to #snow in parts of the UK this morning. Share your images using #loveukweather.
Here are a few that have been sent in already ☃

The Arctic chill comes in the wake of Storm Caroline that brought winds as high as 90 mph.
Snow up to 7-12 cm could be possible on higher ground, before it turns to rain. Up to 20 cm of snow could accumulate on higher ground, the website reported.
The Met Office has issued severe weather warnings for Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

A spokesperson for The Weather Channel said: "A band of snow will push eastwards through Sunday but this will readily turn to rain over central and southern areas.
"Up to 7-12 cm snow accumulation is expected for the Pennines. Northern Scotland may escape dry with plenty of winter sun."
The spokesperson added that temperatures will still remain cold in the low- to mid-single figures, and light and variable winds.

Here is the ghost in the Top 40 machine, a spectral cry to raise the dead. Here is the gleaming slice of occult vinyl that goes where no song has gone before, and comes back with the prettiest corpse in Hollywood history. Hear the exhortation to some nameless "kid" - and understand why there is a legend that the track was actually cut in James Dean's tomb.
Pulsing from a million radios in the holy year of 73, David Essex's "Rock On" is a fulcrum balancing both past and future, one of the crucial songs of this most crucial of years. Echoing in a haze of Jamaican dub (with reverb-soaked bass playing lead, tom-toms and congas giving a jungle vibe, dead stops opening into absolute harrowing silence, and no guitar) it anticipates music that will be supposedly cutting edge ten years later. "Rock On" also harks back to 50s-era poppy dreamland, conjuring up summertime blues and blue suede shoes.
It's obvious, though, that more than nostalgia animates the singer. This compulsive call to "Rock On" rises years before cretin-metal devil horn handjiving. It doesn't mean merely to get stupid and loud. This "Rock On" points toward ghosty resurrection. The question "Where do we go from here?" comes from nowhere and finds no answer. Sadness and death linger in the grooves. Multi-tracked vocals add to the opioid reverie. "See her shake on the movie screen." Who is the "Baby Queen"? We never find out.
The hypnotic bass on "Rock On" is played by the great Herbie Flowers. Creating the brilliant throb-bottoms for 1972's "Jump Into the Fire" and "Walk On the Wild Side," anchoring Bowie's Diamond Dogs album and hundreds of other hits, Herbie Flowers was the primo bass presence of the era.
Disco too lurks in the grooves. The strings on early-70s dance-hits are universally despised by critics and ignored by dance-floor fans. But the pocket-orchestra riffing is exactly what lifts disco from its banality. Disco's beat is moronically monotonous, and the lyrics idiotic ("boogie oogie oogie" indeed). However, the sleaze of studio strings and quasi-jazz horn intrusions are exactly what brings the devotee back again and again.
As a one-hit wonder who ended up far more successful acting than making music, David Essex here does the cinematic mind-meld. The song veers toward romance ("prettiest girl I ever seen"), then fades into a lost-soul call: hissing slippery sibilants ("sssssssh") and gospel wails ("oh my soul!"). More trance than dance, more necromantic spell than pop song, "Rock On" still lingers in the ether - tugging at the souls of dead stars and lonely planet kids who remember, or who have convinced themselves that their music-spawned memories are real.

WP World Cup (W), Surgut, Day 2: Favorites keep on dominating
Competition Day 2 of the FINA Women's Water Polo World Cup 2018, launched the day before in Surgut, Russia, saw another big wins of favorites. Defending World Cup and reigning European bronze medalists Spain met no major challenges defeating China, which stood as a problem for Australia's opener. "Stingers" tonight had another uneasy game to go against host nation, which turned out to be very tense and kept everyone in suspense till the last seconds. Diametrically different stories unfolded as North American teams played South Africa and New Zealand. Both rookies had a good practice and confirmed their good shape, as their rising opponents came away learning experience and conceding a lot of goals.

Spain marched on defeating China. Scoring two more goals than their opponents in each quarter except the first, they were happy to record their first win in Surgut. They needed it badly to preserve some adequate chances to avoid Group B's leader in 1/4 finals. Perhaps, it was not the best shooting game. The Asians looked stumbled after a sensitive defeat they got from Australia at their opener. Spain was no way fresh too, as they lost to host Russia the very same evening. This is why both teams took their time entering the new encounter, and experimented with the tempo, and line-ups and various game's modes.
Miguel Angel Oca's side opened the score first after two and a half minutes after the kick-off. Pilar Pena was hot ready finishing a home-set trick drilled right for the man-up, punishing Xinyan Wang occasionally excluded, 1-0. Huan Wang gave tit for her name-sister, offering her version of the left corner shot, 1-1. Dunhan Xiong shone bring with her backhand power kill, which was duly responded by the Spanish captain, converting another extra-man combination on offer, 2-2. 3 times more hits were greeted in the 2nd period.
There came a long scoring pause for almost 3 minutes, when teams fought hard, pressed each other full court, and were quite efficient defensively. Spanish did a little better than their opponents, and 4 of their shots reached destination. China's response was just two, 6-4 at the large break. Best scorer of the Day 1 Anna Espar was more than timid or rather Chinese did not let her shine. She did not convert her penalty moment, and was to be sat having upset Yineng Shen, which was on guard the goals of team China, in the third quarter twice (through the man-up and the last hope buzzer). Her efforts, however, were backed by teammates as Paula Leiton produced a beautiful contra-attack shot, and Anna Gual Rovirosa worked out her second-chance scoring trial. Zhang and Wang were again here to respond, which was definitely not enough for revival, 10-6. The last period saw Chinese creating a lot of moments. They forced opponents to commit faults and earned extra-man chances, which were of no fruits, 13-7.
Beatriz Ortiz Munos, team Spain #4, 4 goals:
We have just had a good match, China is a good team. We are happy to celebrate the first win at the FINA World Cup in Surgut, and we are going to improve our game step by step. We could not show our best in the first half today, so I believe we will analyze the reasons for it and draw conclusions to be better competitive before the coming decisive clashes.
Miguel Angel Oca, team Spain head coach:
We have been good in defense today, and easily constructed a lead of 2 goals. We tried to save this advantage and did not give back initiative to our opponents. We played consistently from the very first till the last minutes of the game, and I am grateful to my players for their devotion. We gave the chance to exhibit for our second goalkeeper, and Maria Elena Sanchez Gonzalez did a good job. My compliments to China as well, they are not an easy opponent, they are interesting to play against and they are a good team.
Dali Gong, team China head coach:
We played better than yesterday. We did not win, but we kept on fighting till the very end. We are a young team, and in the games like this we badly feel we miss our two major players, who have not come to Surgut because of their injuries. The first half was better for us, whereas in the second we experienced some mistakes. Our opponents deserved the win, they even surprised me with the spirit they showed in their game. As I have said, a lot of my players are young, and their could not keep their energy up till the last minutes. This is one of the reasons why we have lost the game.
Game 6. NZL vs. CAN 4-11 (1-1, 2-3, 0-4, 1-3)
Referees: Naumov (RUS), Teixido (ESP)
Extra Man: NZL 2/10, CAN 3/9

Best player of the match: Elyse Lemay Lavoie (CAN)
NEW ZEALAND: Jessica Ann Milicich, Isabella Frances Lattey Morrison, Bernadette Gabrielle Doyle, Gabryel Patricia Masina Oloapu, Alexandra Rose Boyd, Emily Charlotte Nicholson (1), Emmerson Joy Houghton (2), Katie Mary McKenty, Morgan Leigh McDowall (1), Kirsten Patricia Hudson, Kate Janelle Enoka.
CANADA: Krystina Alogbo, Axelle Crevier, Emma Louise Wright (3), Monika Catharina Eggens (2), Kelly Blair McKee (1), Joelle Bekhazi, Elyse Lemay Lavoie (3), Hayley Ann McKelvey (1), Gurpreet Kaur Sohi (2), Kindred Ayre Paul (2), Clara Anna Maria Vulpisi.
Do not think, it was a clear win for Canada that never looked in doubt. North Americans were meant to demonstrate their shooting guns and maybe have another double digit victory, but could not take that easy. On the contrary, they kind-heartedly allowed "Kiwis" to trail them two period long, and sought the right way back on track only after the large break. There were a lot of swimming and spared chances, and exclusions in the game, registering 19 faults in sum and 3 penalty chances.
There was an astonishing tie on the scoreboard after the first 8 minutes. Emma Louise Wright kicked off the glass, dished by Monika Eggens, and was immediately responded by Emmerson Joy Houghton confidently made use of the penalty shot, 1-1. 4 more shots ateam followed, which could not have changed anything in the game's flow.
Canadians put efforts to make it a 2-4 game in their favor, but were almost caught in at the close. Kelly Blair McKee did not succeed at the 5m standard and her vis-à-vis of New Zealand Emily Charlotte Nicholson set in a high cross doughout, 3-4.
Early in the third, however, everything got settled and came back to the habitual order. New Zealand could not handle with the ball delivery to the more or less appropriate shooting positions, whereas Canada did it well to secure a marvelous 4. Emma Louise Wright did not miss her man-up and the penalty points, and her teammate Paul Kindred Ayre twice showcased her shooting technique, 3-8.
The game was almost done for the time-being. New Zealand knew right away, they have lost the momentum to avange. The last quarter dig out the gap even further, and the match-up sealed at 4-11 for the Maple Leaves.
Angela Winstanley-Smith, team New Zealand head coach:
Traditionally Canada is in the top 4 teams in the world, and we played them in Budapest, and knew what to get ready for. They are really a good team, well drilled and very well disciplined. I am proud of my girls, that they fought till the end and never gave up. But now we have to forget about this game and get ready for the game of tomorrow.
Paul Kindred Ayre, team Canada #11, 2 goals:
We played against a good team. New Zealand came out well organized, and they knew what exactly they have to do get us a good run for a money. They did a good job, limiting our counter-attack, and this is why it was not that strong as we needed it to be. We tried to follow our system well. We were not perfect and this game will help us get ready for the next clashes in Surgut, which will be very important, among them, tomorrow's encounter with the team USA.
Game 8. RSA vs. USA 1-26 (1-7, 0-10,0-4, 0-5)
Referees: Florestano (USA), Johnson (AUS)
Extra Man: RSA 0/1, USA 11/13
Penalty: RSA 0/0, USA 1/1
Best player of the match: Paige Hauschild (USA)
SOUTH AFRICA: Bianca Ann Prinsloo, Kieren-Ashleigh Paley, Nicola Emma Macleod, Georgia Janice Moir, Hallendorff Amica, Christine Elizabeth Abrahamse, Hanna Gail Muller, Zandre Smit (1), Claire Ann Whyte, Chloe Meecham, Kelsey White (3), Palesa Nompumelelo Ntombikayse Hlela.
USA: Jordan Raney (3), Stephanie Haralabidis (4), Rachel Fattal, Paige Hauschild (6), Margaret Steffens (2), Jamie Neushul (2), Kiley Neushul (1), Kaleigh Gilchrist (4), Makenzie Fischer (3), Alys Williams (1), Amanda Longan.
USA gave a lesson to South Africa. Overall champions took their chance right to improve statistics. Competition Day 2 of the FINA Women's World Cup in Surgut registered a very impressive win, the most impressive, to be precise, so far in the group round. 26 goals to 1, which only came from South African ladies early on start. Extra-man chances spoke loudly for the overwhelming favorites. Team USA was dominating, and setting pace, and showcasing various models to score. Getting warm in the first quarter at 1-7, they turned to 10-0 in the next 8 minutes. Whatever difficult it may be for the American coaches to keep on motivated their star-players to stay tuned, they did it right. The gap grew larger and larger, and reached 25 goals.
Adam Krikorian and C made use of a staggering 11/13 man-up moments, and their opponents spared their only chance, which came at 1:23 to the final buzzer. The only penalty shot was duly performed by the American side. Paige Hauschild turned out to be the best scorer of the game, and of the day, on 6 goals, and deservedly won the best player of the match award.
Paige Hauschild, team USA #5, best player of the match, 6 goals:
We came out strong. We treated our opponent as any other team. You never know what to expect, each opponent can bring surprises. We came out and played the way we knew we should play. Such a good scoring result was done as the game went on. We tried to play our best. I hope, it was a good preparation for us before tomorrow's game against Canada. We are very excited about the coming battle.
Jason Sileno, head coach of the team South Africa:
For us it was a very difficult game. The only thing we could offer was 100 percent of our energy against 100 percent professional team. It was a very difficult situation. USA is the best team in the world for the recent 6 years. And we are young, since the last year's Championships in Budapest we have changed 9 players retiring. So we have 9 players under the age of 22, very inexperienced. This is not an excuse. We are very happy to be in Surgut, we are very proud. We will learn experience and hope to get improved and have better results.
Game 7. AUS vs. RUS 8-14 (2-0, 3-7, 0-5, 3-2)
Referees: Savinovic (CRO), Brooks (NZL)
Extra Man: AUS 1/6 RUS 4/8
Penalty: AUS 1/2 RUS 1/1
Best player of the match: Olga Gorbunov (RUS)
AUSTRALIA: Lilian Hedges, Keesja Gofers (1), Hannah Buckling (1), Bronte Halligan, Isobel Bishop, Bronnen Knox (2), Rowie Webster (2), Amy Ridge, Zoe Arancini (2), Alice Williams, Gabriella Palm.
RUSSIA: Maria Bersneva, Ekaterina Prokofyeva (3), Elvina Karimova (3), Olga Gorbunova (4), Alena Serzhantova (1), Anastasia Simanovich (1), Anna Timofeeva, Evgeniia Soboleva (1), Evgeniia Ivanova, Daria Ryzhkova (1), Anna Karnaukh.
Host Russia earned their second win as Australia remained on 2 points. It was a driving story with a lot of fire.
Australians lead first, and then were caught and eaten. The loud crowd's support turned out to be the 8th player in the swimming-cup for Russia, as their opponents missed that badly.
Australian Captain Rowie Webster kicked off the glass, killing a penalty shot for 1-0. Halligan Bronte then worked out for a cross shot, which Maria Berseneva could not have postponed, 2-0. A "10 goals parade" came in the 2nd quarter, improving the stats and changing the game's flow. Australia kept on the balance as Russia's Elvina Karimova and Ekaterina Prokofieva set in their extra goals trailing two actions ones by Keesja Gofers and Hannah Buckling, 4-2. A minute later, Olga Gorbunova produced a cross goal, which was of bad need for her team to stay competitive. This goal so hardly earned turned out to be the crucial point for the match-up.
Winged by the fans ardent support, Alexander Gaydukov coached side did not only level the chances, but substantially improved them to make it a 4-7 game by the close of the 1st half. Australians could not find the remedy against this pressure in the large break. They were left and locked inside their defensive area, and a few counter-attacks which they did launch missed fire and accuracy.
Olga Gorbunova were again on the shooting line and succeeded to score twice. Elvina Karinova, Anastasiia Simanovich and Daria Ryzhkova supported her break and booked their nation's lead at 7, one period left in the match-up, 5-12. The game was almost done irrelevant of the last quarter. Competitors looked poised to fight, but had no energy. No side could convert extras. Australia pulled back 1 goal, but knew, it would not stop the Red Machine, 8-14.
Athanasios Kechagias, team Australia head coach:
Russia was better today, and they have deservingly won the race. For us, we had a plan in our mind, we tried to put in control on the offense. We did not want to concede easy goals at counter-attacks. But one can't predict everything. The game turned out to be different. We have been competitive in the first half, but the result of the game counts at the end. And now we have what we have. We shall go through it and think of the next encounter against Spain.
Olga Gorbunova, team Russia #6, best player of the match, 4 goals:
This game was great, it ended successfully for us, but we shall better forget the result and be concentrated on the next clashes. It was important for us to win this game to rank first in our group and have easier opponent in the quarter-finals. We have this plan well executed so far, and I hope we will be able to proceed in the same nature.

Nepalis, Kamtapuris and Koch-Rajbangshis are asking for the creation of separate States
Hemmed in by Nepal in the west, Bhutan in the north and Bangladesh in the south, the geo-politically sensitive region comprising the districts of Darjeeling, Jalpaiguri and Cooch Behar in north Bengal is a cauldron of ethnic sentiments, with communities becoming vocal about their aspirations in the run-up to the Lok Sabha polls.
Whether it is the Nepalis (who prefer to be called Gorkhas in the Darjeeling hills), the Kamtapuris in the Dooars and Terai regions or the Koch-Rajbangshis of Cooch Behar, the demand is the same — the creation of a separate State. Their demands have not found favour with the mainstream political parties of West Bengal, all of which are stoutly opposed to any division of the State. But politics in the region took a new turn recently, with the Bharatiya Janata Party, much to the discomfiture of its State unit, announcing that it would view the demands for a separate Gorkhaland and a separate Kamtapur State "sympathetically."
Since early this year, the region has been witnessing spasmodic violence after the Gorkha Janamukti Morcha (GJM) carried its statehood campaign to the Dooars and Terai areas of Jalpaiguri district — an area that has been incorporated into the contours of the Gorkhaland State it proposes. Clashes between the Nepalis and the tribals opposed to the GJM's demand have threatened to snowball into an ethnic conflagration.
Though a tenuous peace has been restored, with the GJM leaders calling off their movement in the plains at the prompting of the State government, the Nepalis and adivasis, who constitute a large chunk of the population, are still restive. But a section of the Akhil Bharatiya Adivasi Vikash Parishad (ABAVP), which claims the support of a majority of local tribals, has since turned vociferous in its demand for greater autonomy to the tribal belt in north Bengal. It has also called for a poll boycott in protest against what it calls the government's failure to address their grievances such as reopening of the 14 tea gardens whose closure threw hundreds out of work.
"The GJM has threatened our identity by its demand for a separate State that includes a predominantly tribal region, and the State government has done little to alleviate our distressing economic conditions," says Rajesh Lakra, general secretary of the ABAVP's Dooars-Terai coordination committee.
The decision to stay away from the polls could affect the prospects of the Left Front candidate for the Alipurduar (ST) seat; for decades, the Revolutionary Socialist Party has had a support base in the local tribal population.
The Kamtapur People's Party (KPP), which is calling for the creation of a Kamtapur State comprising the districts of north Bengal and some in Assam, split into two factions in 2004 following differences within the leadership. The KPP and the Kamtapur Progressive Party have identical statehood agendas, despite their leaderships blaming each other for the division. Contrary to intelligence reports, both deny links with the militant Kamtapur Liberation Organisation, which has been responsible for subversive activities in the region in the past years.
The two factions are also divided over support to the GJM's Gorkhaland demand. On its stand on the question of the territory common to their respective statehood claims, Atul Roy, president of the Kamtapur Progressive Party, which backs the GJM, says: "Such matters will be sorted out later." Nikhil Roy, president of the KPP, which is opposed to the GJM, warns: "North Bengal will be on fire if a separate Gorkhaland is created on land whose original inhabitants are the Kamtapuris." The KPP is contesting eight Lok Sabha seats in north Bengal.
To add to an intriguing political landscape is the demand of the Greater Cooch Behar Democratic Party (GCDP) for a "Greater Cooch Behar" comprising five districts of north Bengal and four of Assam. Its leader Bangshi Badan Burman will contest Cooch Behar (SC) from jail; he has been detained under various charges, including the murder of policemen during a demonstration in support of the statehood demand that turned violent in Khagrabari in September 2005. The party will contest the polls for the first time and has found support in the Nationalist Congress Party.
"Each of the ethnic communities has a right to demand a separate State," says Ashutosh Barma, president the GCDP — a remark that sums up the perceptions of leaders of the different ethnic communities.

Ali-Aye-Ligang is a spring festival associated with agriculture, specially with the beginning of the Ahu paddy cultivation. It is celebrated by the Mising or Mishing an indigenous tribe of Assam, India. The festival marks onset of sowing seeds. The name of the festival is made up of three terms, 'Ali', legumes, 'Aye', seed and 'Ligang', to sow.
The festival begins on 'Ligange lange', the first Wednesday of 'Gimur Polo', which occurs in February in the Gregorian calendar or on Wednesday of the month of Fagun of the Assamese calendar and in the month of February in English calendar which lasts for five days. In this festival young people of the community in particular participate 'GUMRAAG SOMAN' and dance to the tune of folk songs and melodious 'oi: nitom'. The first day of the festival is marked by the ceremonial start of paddy sowing and throughout the festival many others activities such as ploughing and tree cutting are forbidden.
Women of all ages come out In their Agey-gasor and danced from morning until night.
It is heartwarming to see the younger generations keeping the tradition alive.

It has been an entire week since I last published a blog post. I guess that's what happens when work is particularly busy! Nevertheless, Jake and I hosted our planned Mini Oktoberfest last weekend and it was so much fun! We prepared a bunch of German eats and our friends spent the day with us eating, laughing, playing games, and having some drinks! We even had a stein-holding contest. I opted out due to the impending embarrassment and also because I played videographer. Haha! More to come on that…
Here's what we made (with links to the recipes):
- Chicken and Apple Sausages
- Beef and Pork Sausages
- Brats
- Pretzel Rolls with a Beer Cheese Dip
- Cabbage Casserole
- German Potatoes
- Onion Pinwheels
- German Cucumber Salad
We had some friends that brought extra delicious treats, as well:
I already wrote last week in my food blog post (Oh My! Homemade Pasta and Sauces, Carbonara Arancini, Caesar Dressing, Sausages, Chargrilled Oysters & Clams) about Jake's sausage prep. When he cooked them this past weekend, he grilled the majority of them, but he chose to cook some of the beef and pork sausages in the smoker. The cooked brats were placed in a beer, butter, and onion bath and sat for 5-10 minutes to give a little extra flavor. Overall, the sausages were good, especially for a first attempt. The beef and pork recipe was actually for patties, which I think made them a bit dense. The chicken and apple sausage may have had too much liquid from the apples because they fell apart a little easier. They were, however, really flavorful and full of great spices. The only problem is there was so much excitement, we didn't take any photos of the cooked sausages. Oops! Jake thought the smoked brats smelled and tasted a like kielbasa, so he definitely wants to try those next.
I'm sorry if this photo is not up your alley, but for those who appreciate meats, this is probably like a Picasso!
Pretzel Rolls and Beer Cheese Dip
I made the pretzel rolls and beer cheese dip the morning of the party, since I didn't want the pretzels to get stale overnight. I was NOT looking forward to it, but I sucked it up and did it. The dough was actually really simple to make and I loved how smooth and clean it was after rising for an hour.
I read comments on the recipe that people wished they made smaller pretzel bites so more people could try them. So, I opted to make pretzel balls instead of the twisted pretzels. I simple tore off approximately equal size pieces of dough from the risen dough ball and rolled it in my hands. I tried to cut an "X" on top of each one, but they were a little too soft – that's why the rolls didn't come out very symmetrical.
I plopped two at a time into the boiling baking soda/water bath. It became cumbersome to set the timer to 30 seconds each time, so I just eyeballed it. Letting them sit for longer than the 30 seconds, though, did make the dough more soft and gooey. I suggest not trying to multitask or anything while doing this. I then baked them and only after 5 minutes, I checked the bottoms. Not surprisingly they were already brown, so I moved all them on top of a baking rack.
Toward the end, I actually let them sit for another 5 minutes or so in the oven with the temperature off. This is because I felt like the sides could get a more brown, while trying not to over-brown the tops. I thought to myself during the baking process that flatter pretzels would've cooked more evenly on the outsides. In the end, though, they turned out great. They just needed that extra little time to sit.
I followed the beer cheese dip recipe, although I accidentally put all the mozarella in the mix, instead of reserving the specified amount for sprinkling/browning on top. Luckily, I had some extra I was able to add. I don't think the changed ratios of cheese made any negative difference to the dip. I actually also doubled the recipe, which was perfect for the amount of pretzels and people. People loved this dip!
Cabbage Casserole
The cabbage casserole was prepared completely the day before, except for the final baking, which I did while the pretzel dough was rising. I used ground chicken, so our guests that can't eat beef could munch on this. The main deviation from this recipe is that I ended up using probably only 2/3 of a medium/large cabbage, which is a bit less than I think the recipe intended. I found that it would've been difficult to fit in the pot if I had had more and the ratio of meat-to-cabbage would've been a off. This dish was a great addition that doubled as both an entree and a side.
German Potatoes
I had pinned 3 different German potato recipes, but I settled on the one that was more of set it and forget it, since there were already a million other things we'd be doing and cooking. I prepared the potatoes the night before and then dumped everything into the crock pot the morning of the party and let it heat through/finish cooking up until it was time to eat. I was disappointed that it called for boiling the potatoes ahead of time. It would have been infinitely more convenient to be able to literally dump it all in the crock pot and let it cook. I'm sure some adaptations could be made to accommodate this.
I think I made more than 4 cups of potatoes because I wanted to make sure there was plenty. I hadn't increased any of the other amounts, so my potatoes were probably a little less saucy than they were supposed to be. These weren't bad. I wished there was just a little more flavor. Perhaps if I had just increased the amounts of mustard, vinegar, or salt, then that would've done the trick. I also didn't have fresh parsley and I think that would have been a nice addition, as well. It was still good and I ate all the leftovers anyway!
Onion Pinwheels
The onion pinwheel recipe was actually an onion tart recipe. I didn't feel like making the tart dough/crust and I don't have a proper tart baking dish. I took the easy way out and used Pillsbury crescent dough. For the amount of onions I made, I bought two cans of the crescent dough. I prepared the onion mix the day before.
Then that morning, I rolled out the crescent dough as a single piece, pinching a bit at the seams so it didn't totally rip apart. I spread the onion mix across the rectangular piece and rolled it. I then sliced about 1/2″ thick rolls and put then in parchment paper, on top of a baking rack, so that the bottoms wouldn't get too brown.
These were great as an appetizer and the caraway seeds gave it a unique flavor! Don't be scared by the amount of onion. Once the crescent tough puffs up between the layer of onion, it provides a nice buttery and flaky component. Also, I didn't use speck. Instead, I used regular bacon from our local store. I think using a heavier, higher quality bacon or pancetta would tip this over the edge.
Cucumber Salad
The last dish I cooked is the cucumber salad. I chose to do this to provide some crispness and freshness among all the heavy foods we were eating. I used sour cream because I already had some that I needed for the other recipes. I thought that perhaps Greek yogurt would've been a little better for this dish. I also used a dried dill that isn't overly dry. Overall, I think this was successful and mild in flavor, which was nice. I don't think it was a favorite among all the other food choices, but I continued to eat some of the leftovers.
Now comes my talented friends!
Spatzle Casserole
Lindsay made two dishes. She made spatzle, which is sort of like a pasta dish. Normally, the dough is shaped by pushing it through a colander with wide holes. Because Lindsay didn't a colander that fit the description, she ended up manually shaping the spatzle into more of a small dumpling shape to make a casserole with caramelized onions. This was another great alternative for non-beef eaters and made for a good entree or side!
Bee Sting Bars
Lindsay also made bee sting bars, traditionally called "Bienenstich". I had sent her a recipe for a bee sting cake, but she was worried about prepping it ahead of time. She did a little more searching and found bars. She was worried about this, too, because there was no cream on the bars like the cake did. She ended up just making the bars and they were so good. Buttery bottom and a sweet layer with almonds on top. These were even better the next day!
Coconut Pecan Chocolate Balls
Last, but not least, were Liz's delectable brownie bites with a coconut pecan frosting mixed right in there. These were ooey, gooey and delicious. I felt like eating just one was like I had an entire slice – it was so rich and these were a huge hit with our guests. I might just have to steal this for my next get together!
I almost forgot, we also had the stein holding contest. Jake won, but just by a hair ahead of Ben, Liz's husband. They held the steins for just over 3.5 minutes! I'll forego uploading the video because you can hear me WAY too clearly narrating. Lol.
All in all, it was a lot of prep and a long party night, but I wouldn't have changed it for the world. I love cooking and being able to entertain. I hope all our friends had fun, too!

Introduction: Peanut Butter Honey Carrot Cake for Dogs
Reading my other 'ibles you'll see my pooches are very important to me, that means we celebrate their birthdays as we would any other family member. As they get older, we enjoy giving them special treatment on their birthdays and holidays too. I've learned a lot about dog food and feeding them a healthy diet with high quality food because I need them to be as healthy as they can be, as long as possible.
Making homemade treats is a way I can control the ingredients they eat, and treats like this birthday cake are full of a little healthy, a little sweet, making for a perfect treat. My dogs only need to hear the words "peanut butter" to know they're going to like it! I can attest this cake is tasty because I've tried it, not as sweet as most humans usually like, but surprisingly good.
This cake is very easy to make, kids can definitely help. You can make it in the size appropriate for your dog, my under 16 lbs. girls share a mini muffin or two at treat time, and we cut the cake into mini muffin sized pieces. If you are having a doggy party, you can make all mini muffins. Regular-sized muffins for would be good for bigger pooches, or one 8-inch cake. At the end of the 'ible I give ideas for frosting too.
Our dogs do more for us then we could possibly do for them, bake them a delicious treat for their birthday, or any other day you want to make them feel special, enjoy!
Recipe adapted from this site: http://www.dog-treat-recipe-exchange.com/dog-birthday-cake-recipes
Step 1: Gather Ingredients
You'll need:
For the paw shape I used this silicone baker: http://shop.safemadepet.com/products/flexi-bowl-small/ you can substitute a 6-inch cake pan, plus a mini muffin tin for the paw pads. If you simply want to make one round cake, use an 8-inch cake pan.
1 cup white or whole wheat flour (If your dogs have wheat allergies, use gluten free flour, I used 1/2 cup white whole wheat and 1/2 cup oat flour, see below)
1 tsp. baking soda
1/4 cup peanut butter
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 cup shredded carrots (about 3 medium)
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 tsp. vanilla
1/3 cup honey
1 large egg
You can make your own oat flour using my other 'ible: https://www.instructables.com/id/Oatmeal-bath-for-dogs/
Step 2: Prepare Batter
Adjust an oven rack to the middle position and preheat oven to 350 degrees F. (I also preheated a baking sheet to bake on, since I had two baking pans it made for easy turning and removal.) Spray baking pan(s) with nonstick spray.
In a large bowl, stir the flour(s), baking soda, and cinnamon until combined. In a small bowl combine the peanut butter, oil, vanilla, honey, and the egg, whisk until smooth. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir with a spatula until just combined. Stir in the carrots until mixed throughout and no pockets of flour remain in the batter.
Step 3: Bake, Cool, and Party!
Transfer to greased baking pan(s) and bake until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few crumbs attached. Rotate the baking sheet front to back halfway through baking. The mini muffins only take 15-18 minutes, the 6-inch cake took around 30 minutes. Times will vary depending on your oven, so keep an eye on it.
Let cool in baking pan(s) for 10 minutes, then transfer to cooling rack and cool completely.
Decorate as you please, though my dogs have no problem eating it plain. Some frosting options are: low fat cottage cheese blended until smooth in a food processor or blender, or, whipped reduced or no fat cream cheese, spread over the cake and topped with some shredded carrots. I don't think any dog would mind peanut butter, or a drizzle of honey, spread on top either.
I chose to use a writing icing tube, it was a minimal amount that I felt comfortable with my dogs eating.
We are not ashamed to say we have dog birthday parties, I will never ever be able to repay the gift my dogs have giving me just by being here, I can only hope to do right by them by giving them a good, fun life, keeping them as healthy as possible along the way.
Leftover cake can be stored, covered, in the refrigerator up to five days, or can be frozen for longer storage.

No judgement on my end! I'm the youngest of 3 girls, this is NOT the first time I've eaten dog food and/or treats, wish the previous ones tasted this good!
I love the paw print shape!

San Jose Fraud Lawyer
Embezzlement & Fraud
Embezzlement cases can only occur when the perpetrator has access to handling the money of the victim. Embezzlement can be most easily understood as a theft that occurs over a period of time. The crime of embezzlement most commonly occurs in the workplace. It can be as simple as the theft of a few dollars from the cash register every few days by a store cashier all the way up to "creative bookkeeping" by company officers or accountants.
The crime of embezzlement can also occur and is most reviled when a caregiver is allowed to sign on the bank account of an elder or dependent adult. These situations can range from the caregiver picking up personal items at the grocery store or making out small checks to cash—up to systematically emptying out the accounts of the elder or dependent in care. These types of embezzlement are also prosecuted as "elder abuse."
Embezzlement can also occur when a financial planner or broker abuses his/her position of trust and fails to invest funds in his/her care, and takes the money for himself ala Bernie Madoff.
In the most common types of embezzlement cases, the person who takes the money only plans on "borrowing" it to get through an emergency and then replacing it later. One emergency follows another and eventually the embezzler is charged with theft. Sometimes an unsophisticated person charged with embezzlement commits this crime out of desperation—perhaps an unemployed or abusive spouse pushing the perpetrator to just take a little money. Sometimes embezzlement is committed in order to supply a drug or gambling habit. An undervalued employee may even believe he or she deserves the money because the boss does not appreciate or pay the employee well.
If you or someone you know is charged with embezzlement, or if the police seek to question you about money that has gone missing at work, you need to immediately contact an experienced San Jose Criminal Defense Attorney such as Maureen Furlong Baldwin. Sometimes company records are not clear enough to convict a party accused of the crime. When a company has discovered that an employee has been taking money, there is a tendency on the part of the company to attribute ALL unexplained losses to employee theft so the amount of restitution is almost always in dispute. Statements from the perpetrator regarding his or her access to money or the fact that he or she never intended to actually steal it will be used by the prosecution to prove the case, not to help the defendant. Never talk to police or even employers without talking to a San Jose Criminal Defense Attorney first. Only an experienced San Jose Fraud Lawyer can evaluate your case and protect you from jail or prison sentences. Contact the Law Office of Maureen Baldwin if you or a loved one is in this type of trouble.


text: Proper Hijinx turns their focus towards cultural division, race perceptions, and affirmative action with the regional premiere of The Submission by Jeff Talbott, winner of the 2011 Laurents/Hatcher Award, directed by Stefany Cambra. The plot centers around a playwright, Danny (played by Ryan Maffei), who has finally written a meaningful, visceral play- but submits it for a play festival under the pen name of an African American woman, hoping the play will be better received if the adjudicators are unaware of his true identity as a young, white male. Enter Emilie (Whitney LaTrice Coulter), a black actress who Danny asks to pose as his alter ego for the festival. In working together, tensions rise and conversations are started revolving around race, prejudice, and who has the right to tell what story.

Lee Turner, Bank of America's Secondary Trader, said, "SwapsWire has helped to streamline our daily pipeline hedging process, leading to quicker and more accurate confirms. We've been very pleased with SwapsWire thus far in both its ease of use and the amount of coverage it provides and have yet to transact with a counterparty who cannot confirm via SwapsWire. Once fully integrated with our trade structuring systems, this tool should prove invaluable in eliminating trade processing time and booking errors."
Chip Carver, SwapsWire's CEO, said, "We are pleased to see more clients taking up the service for the emerging markets. We were the first to offer electronic confirmation for Mexican Peso and Bank of America are an excellent endorsement for the product. So far, we have 9 banks, 5 brokers and many buyside clients actively using the Mexican Peso service, ensuring our interest rate service will continue to lead the market. We are delighted to see Bank of America expand their use of our service to include their mortgage desk."
SwapsWire captures, verifies and confirms deals on-screen within minutes of execution, removing the need for manual processing of paper contracts. As well as the reduction in processing cost, confirmation on trade date means a significant reduction in operational risk.
