A recap of my life in the Land of Smiles from Chiang Mai to Klaeng and everywhere in between…
As of tomorrow, I will have lived in Thailand for 11 weeks.
While the time has certainly flown, it also feels as though it has been MUCH longer since I left. Those tearful goodbyes and farewell dinners seem like eons ago. So much has happened, it is hard to believe it has been only a few months.
You know how in your normal life, days, weeks and months can flash by as if you're on autopilot? One day turns into the next and before you know it the daily grind of work, life, family and routine have carried away the seasons and time itself? At least it did for me, which explains how three years of post-grad life flashed by in an instant. It is also one of the reasons I decided to move away – to take advantage of time before any more of it escaped me.
Well, moving to a new country seemed to have the reverse affect – it slowed the passage of time, intensified every emotion and made each day a unique entity.
I left New York on September 23rd. I experienced a really phenomenal travel high during my 27 hours in transit from New York to London > London to Singapore > Singapore to Chiang Mai. This feeling of euphoria continued until I arrived at Noppakao Place, my hotel/residence for the next month. Because the minute I entered my room, the high wore off and the gravity of my situation finally hit me. So I broke down. As I knew I would. The intensity of my high from the international flights was met with an equally as intense low in the form of panic. To put it mildly, I freaked out. And the questions and doubt crept in: "What have I done? Did I really leave my life to come here? Can I handle it? I miss home. I miss my family and friends. I don't know if I can do this. When was the last time I was this homesick (answer: when I was dropped off at college and had a similar panic attack)?"
I got myself off the ledge by messaging my sister and a few friends, crying it out, taking a few deep breaths and starting to unpack. It was at that moment, crying into my unzipped luggage, that my roommate Mahreen, a former nurse from outside of Toronto, walked in. I was an emotional, jet-lagged wreck and she was a kind-hearted caregiver – we hit it off right away. Mahreen was there for me during my most vulnerable time and we've been best friends ever since.
That day, which began with a rocky morning, turned out to be amazing. After chatting with Mahreen, I met a few others from the program who had also arrived early. Introductions were followed by 11 am beers on my new friends' balcony, a group trip to the bank and some questionable dinner choices.
(First day crew: Anna, Elizabeth, Brian, Me, Brian and Mahreen)
That first day in Chiang Mai felt like a week. I may have been jet-lagged, but I swear, I felt the intensity of every moment as if it was in slow motion. The next few days before orientation, and the official kick off to my TESOL program, felt like a month. And so began the now all too familiar phenomenon – time feels different here. In reality, I had only known these new friends for hours or days or weeks but the amplified emotions (both positive and negative), culture shock and adjustment to this new place, instead made the time feel like months and years.
If you cannot already tell, I loved my first month in Chiang Mai. It was filled with great times, incredible people, new friendships, a few panic moments and a certification to teach English.
Although I could write a novel about those four weeks, here are the highlights:
We began the month with a few cultural activities, basic Thai lessons, lectures and an introduction to the TESOL course. Most importantly, it was a phenomenal bonding time with my program mates.
What else was I up to? Well, I…
- Visited Doi Suthep and Wat Umong
- Hung out with elephants (just fed and bathed them, elephant riding is a really abusive tourist attraction) at the Elephant Nature Park
- Demonstrated my lack of artistic skills at a Thai painting activity
- Kicked ass during a Muay Thai class
- Climbed waterfalls at Buong National Park
- Spent I-don't-know-how many hours riding in Songtews, red taxi trucks, to and from class daily
- Explored various markets around Chiang Mai where I ate tons of great food and bought several pairs of elephant pants (lightweight cotton sweats that became a uniform among both guys and girls)
- Visited Pai, a hippie backpacker mecca north of Chiang Mai
- Survived two days of English camp at a local school
- Graduated with a TESOL certification and the apparent ability to teach
Our days were spent mostly in class and nights were spent hanging out, eating, drinking and enjoying the city. I ate tons of fried rice and noodles and drank my fill of Chang beer. I wish this month did not have to end. It felt like college, studying abroad and every travel group I've ever done combined, but better because I'm 25 and it validated my decision to leave my life at home for something different – the risk was already paying off.
However, reality came knocking, and on October 27th, I left Chiang Mai and after two bus rides and 17 hours on the road, I arrived in my new home, completely alone. I live in Klaeng, a town in the Rayong Province, about 4 hours southeast of Bangkok. I was picked up and delivered to my apartment by one of the other foreign teachers and left to my own devices for a few hours before a Thai teacher, Noo, picked me up for some shopping. And so came another panic, an emotional release of everything I felt – from sadness over leaving my friends and a city I love to straight up fear and discomfort over starting to teach, as well as the most crushing isolation I have ever experienced.
My room, located in an old apartment building at school where the other foreign teachers lived, was, as I affectionately refer to it as, a Shitbox. The Shitbox was very dirty, smelly, covered in bugs and spider webs and lizards and lizard poop. The Shitbox had not been painted in 20 years and the mattress seemed just as old, the bathroom emitted a terrible odor, the sink was on the balcony and the shower had no heater. Apparently, the English teacher who lived there for a few weeks last term (before ultimately leaving the school altogether) called it a "prison."
Mai pen rai, right?
Things vastly improved after Noo, and her sister, Nid arrived. Firstly, they surveyed the room and decided we would go to Tesco (a large department store) to buy cleaning supplies, sheets, pillows, etc. Secondly, within 30 minutes of being together they told me I should consider myself their new younger sister and they wanted to take care of me. Instantly, my feelings of isolation, fear and trepidation subsided and things started looking up.
While the three of us did a decent job fixing up The Shitbox, I decided it was not the best living situation for me. I actually made peace with the lizards and their poop, the cold showers and the balcony-teeth brushing. However, the school is 2 miles from town and there are no options for food or shopping within walking distance and I wanted to avoid buying a motorbike (too many friends have gotten into accidents – no thank you).
So, my second week, I moved to a hotel/residence in Sam Yan, the downtown area of Klaeng. And I could not be happier, except for the cockroaches who love my room, but hey, its Thailand, so there will always be roaches. I've also avoided getting a motorbike because Thai's are the nicest people in the world and a few friends are willing to carpool me to and from school. Sam Yan is a fun neighborhood with lots of shops, cafes, restaurants, markets, and even a gym, which I happily joined after my sprained ankle heeled. I'm usually the only farang (foreigner) I see walking around, but the stares I get are always followed by smiles from curious onlookers.
I work at Makudmuang Rattachayalai, a secondary school with 1,000 students. I teach 28 classes, or roughly 800 teenagers ages 13-18, once every two weeks. Now, if you're thinking that that does not sound like much in-class time, I would agree. Seeing my kids only twice a month leaves little room to really TEACH them much of anything. However, I'm rolling with it.
We learned in TESOL that our primary job as English teachers is not to drill the kids with vocabulary or grammar – they have Thai English teachers who do that. My job is to get them comfortable speaking the language and allowing them to hear my lovely native English-speaking accent. Though teaching is hard and can be a daily challenge, I am having a blast. I'm finding my groove and enjoying myself in the process. Walking in the hallways is like being a celebrity – I get about 300 hundred "Hello Teachaaa" and "Good morning/Good afternoon Teachaaaaa" greetings a day and even some claps and giggles of delight when I walk into the classroom to teach. I really love hanging out with the students in class and seeing them around town. In the last week I've run into half a dozen students on the street, on my way home from the gym, at markets where they help their parents in the evenings and buying food.
The teachers at my school are incredibly warm and welcoming and I could not feel more at home. I have a lunch crew I eat with most days, I play volleyball with a few teachers occasionally and socialize during staff parties (sidenote: Thais love drinking beer and singing awkward karaoke, even at "work" parties. It is an experience.) I also love running into coworkers at Tesco or the market (both of which happened within the last 3 days). It makes me feel like a legitimate part of the community.
A huge perk is my town's location. Klaeng is located about 20 minutes from a decently touristy beach, meaning in addition to dipping my toes in the sand and ocean, I can easily find western food (at great expense to my wallet). Even sweeter, is that another 20 minutes away is the ferry to Koh Samed, one of Thailand's lesser known islands
I travel every weekend, mostly to visit friends in and around Bangkok. I have also been to Koh Samed twice and to Korat, a city 5 hours north of Klaeng, for a Friendsgiving reunion with TESOL friends.
After 11 weeks, time is actually no longer standing still like it was in Chiang Mai. I've acclimated to life in Klaeng, teaching and seeing friends on weekends. In fact, settling into the routine of working again and traveling once a week, has made time speed up. At this rate, I expect the semester to fly by.
So, to recap my recap: I am having an amazing experience thus far, from Chiang Mai and Pai to Klaeng and Koh Samed. There are many ups and downs to living overseas, but I love my town and my school, my TESOL and Thai friends and I really enjoy teaching.
My new challenge is trying to stay in the moment and enjoy the rest of the semester before my wanderlust kicks in and I can move on to the next phase of my time abroad, TRAVELING.
Oh, I should also mention that my name is no longer Sarah…it is now officially Salaaa or Teachaa Salaaa. I think it has a nice ring to it.

Rocco / 羅素犬 / 嚴重腎臟狀況
我曾經改變狗狗的飲食內容,但狀況並無明顯改變。在絕望的同時,我去了市中心的一家寵物用品購物中心,並將狗狗的狀況解說給店經理知道。店經理建議我們,可以試試看BIG DOG巴夫生肉餅,這也正是他們店裡的新產品!此後每個星期,我都以少量的生雞肉作為Rocco的早餐,晚上則是給他大量的BIG DOG巴夫生肉餅作為晚餐,並與麵條或是蔬菜混合一起餵食。我無法相信我所看到的變化!牠吃光每一口我幫他準備的食物,不再嘔吐,且比幾個月前更有活力。 Rocco現在精神非常好,再一次快樂地享受家人相伴的時光。我非常滿意你們的產品能讓狗狗有如此的改變,我也會持續餵食BIG DOG巴夫生肉餅,煩請貴公司不吝給予指教。如果Rocco在往後的數個月中,狀況也可以保持如此良好(我打算讓狗狗試三個月),我將會讓我的獸醫師知道,狗狗的狀況改變很多,並做進一步的血檢,觀察狗狗健康的驚人結果。
We just received this fantastic feedback from one of our customers and wanted to share it with you all. Have a read of the significant changes she has seen in her dog since feeding him BARF.
"I want to let your company know how pleased I am with the result of the Big Dog Barf food. Some months ago my pure bred Lowchen who is coming up to 9 years old, was diagnosed with severe kidney disorder. Dreadful blood test results and kidneys not looking great at all according to the Vet who advised me that eventually he would just stop eating. He was vomiting sometimes and I was extremely worried but thought it was just a matter of time before he passed away. He was very lethargic and just lay around most of the time not terribly interested in his food and I had to shorten his much loved walks. I changed his diet but it really didn't seem to change things very much at all. Desperately I went to City Farmers in Dog Swamp Shopping Centre, Wanneroo and explained all this to the Manager there. He suggested I give he Big Dog Barf product a try. It was a new product in his store and Rocco would be considered his "guinea pig"!! For a week now I've been giving Rocco a small amount in the morning with a bit of raw chicken and then giving him a larger amount of the Barf in the evening with either noodles or vegetables. I cannot believe the change in my dog. He eats every bit of his meals; no vomiting and is much more active than he's been for months. He's very alert and enjoying everyone's company again. I'm very happy with the results of your product and will continue to use it. I would be more than happy if you give me any suggestions as far as servings go. If Rocco continues to be so well in another couple of months (I intend to trial him on this regime for three months) then I will let the Vet know about his improvement and ask for further blood tests to be done to see what the results might be out of interest."

The Value of General Education
The Value of General Education
General education is the core and foundation of the American educational experience, defining a set of values, skills and ideas that give a sense of coherence and connectedness to the learning process. Yavapai College recognizes that general education is essential for personal and intellectual growth, an effective and innovative workforce, and a successful and vibrant civic society; and is committed to providing students with both curricular and co-curricular experiences that facilitate these important ends. Yavapai College's General Education program is designed to encourage curiosity and an active interest in the world; practical, disciplined thinking; the development of personal and civic values; and a willingness to acknowledge and appreciate diverse cultural and historical perspectives.
There are two aspects to Yavapai College's General Education program: the AGEC (Arizona General Education Curriculum) and the YC GECCO (Yavapai College General Education Core Curriculum Outcomes.) The former, mandates by the state of Arizona, ensures that transfer students encounter the topics and disciplines of a traditional liberal arts education. The latter is Yavapai College's own articulation of the values, skills and knowledge that higher education should address, and applies to all degrees granted by the college.

Momentum Reversal Method – MRM: After a few years of testing with both ETF's and then individual stocks, we rolled out our MRM (momentum reversal method) platform at my ATP subscription service in November 2011. This is now beginning to get alot of attention in the trading community as in addition to the ATP service, I have shared some of the real time MRM type plays online with some very top notch traders.
In essence, my work revolves around crowd psychology or what I call "Crowd Behavior". If there is one thing in the stock markets that never changes, it's how crowds react to news, events, and also how they over-react more importantly. My MRM system helps to define where the crowd may be over-reacting on the upside and also obviously the downside of a move in a security. Knowing roughly where that upside and downside exhaustion point may be, can obviously be a huge tool in a traders tool box.
Almost The Holy Grail – Momentum Reversal Method
Let's be honest, the Holy Grail of investing and or position trading would be to buy low and sell high as often as possible with as few mistakes as possible right? The ATP MRM crowd based timing method is what that aims to do, a lofty goal but one we feel we are achieving on a regular basis. The major problem most investors have is selling out of a position at the extreme areas of "Pain", where your emotions take over and you cant take the paper loss any longer and you sell. The other issue is chasing stocks higher because the adrenaline and excitement of owning a stock that is rushing higher is too hard to pass up.
Both of those investor psychology based decisions are made in panic buy and panic sell modes. That leads to a recipe for disaster for a trading account over time. Instead, what we want to do is the opposite right? We want to calmly buy shares in a stock that has become oversold due to emotional responses from the crowd, and sell into a huge rally where the crowd has become overly exuberant. What if you could do that on a regular basis all the time with cool and calm nerves of steel?
Our Momentum Reversal Method (MRM) trading system at ATP allows us as best as we can to cooly and calmly enter into oversold stocks right near the apex of the lows, and then quietly exit into the rush as the stock reverses back to the upside.
Recent examples include the ETF NUGT. This is a 300% leveraged ETF to the Gold Stock Index. Now we all know the Gold Stocks have been under severe pressure of late as the GDX ETF has cratered from its highs over the last many months. My MRM system though kept us out of the gold stocks, until very recently when we saw the idea entry point for a swing. Based on the GDX falling into the 49 and below level, my MRM targets said we were at an extreme emotional bottom using my 1 day, 3 day, and weekly crowd indicators.
We, therefore entered calmly into NUGT at 15.61, and within 48 hours we saw that ETF rally to 17.81! We sold at 16.80 and 17.10 for 1/2 and 1/2 tranches to pocket 7-10% gains inside of 2 days. The move from 15.61 to 17.81 was a 14% move inside of 48 hours!! We also knew to sell into that rally because just a few short days later the NUGT had fallen all the way back to 15.30 per share. My MRM method then said 15.31 was another entry buy, and 24 hours later NUGT was up another 7%! So in the span of 6 trading days, MRM gave out an 8.5% blended return, and then followed it up with another 7% return. Thats 15.5% of return with low downside risk in 6 trading days on just one ETF position!
We usually apply this type of work to MRM Positions that we actually intend to position ourselves in weeks not days. However, if we do get extreme moves in a short period of time, we always look to trim back some of those profits in the position. The samples above are what I call "Active Trades" at my ATP service, these are intended to days not weeks in holding period. Keep in mind alot of our work is in an Active MRM portfolio where again, we are holding swing positions for weeks and not days, so it does not require as much daily work by our partners.
Some additional recent samples include CVV which we entered twice for profits inside of a few months. We banked 13-16% gains on one swing, waited weeks and entered again. The stock actually dropped below our MRM entry and we held on knowing that it was likely bottoming out amidst panic emotional selling at 10.66 per share. A few weeks later our patience paid off as the stock rose to 13.80 per share. Most traders would have taken the loss below $11 per share, and missed the reversal back up for 25% or more. When you take a loss that way, you must then replace that position with another trade that gains 25% or more in this case. MRM helps to avoid panic selling, and often to take advantage of panic drops in a stock to buy more.

Governments that took this report at its word would increase upper-income taxes, raise the minimum wage, bolster union rights, and increase subsidies to manufacturers.
Throughout the 1970s, 1980s and early 1990s, governments did all those things. In the process, inflation, unemployment and deficits grew, while recessions came and went and came again.
Desperate, governments began cutting taxes, reining in inflation (through the central bank) and balancing budgets. The results were spectacular. Growth took off, along with the incomes of those who were responsible for that growth: entrepreneurs and highly skilled workers who added the most value to the economy.
The left-wing think tanks ignore this reality.

Stock car audio systems may not to have the power and range that an avid music listener enjoys, and it is an easy upgrade to make considering the alternative is to buy a high end car! Before you purchase a car stereo it is important to understand that there are many different options out there regarding types of stereos. For example, regular car receivers, in-dash DVD receivers and in-dash GPS receivers can fit just about any audio upgrade. Kenwood car audio receivers have many different models such as the Kenwood KDC-108, a budget friendly upgrade that has a front AUX input option and CD/Radio playback. Kenwood KDC car audio receivers are popular because their ability to fit many universal applications. Kenwood makes stereos that will provide GPS capabilities and DVD playback, as does many other car audio manufacturers.
Sony's most popular series, Xplod car audio receivers, are high quality receivers that tend to be a higher end option for enthusiasts. Sony also has all the fancy options such as the Navigation option and DVD playback option. Depending on the type of technologies you want included, the price will obviously vary. The power required for these receivers tend to be all roughly the same as long as the receivers do not require an independent power source such as an amplifier. Car stereos have the capability to sync your Bluetooth cell phone or audio device, charge your iPod/iPhone/iPad or cell phone, play movies, and even tell you where the nearest rest stop is with the use of a GPS navigation system. Have fun!

"You can get into vegetable or meat, but because of the land scarcity issue, and because we're surrounded by the sea, I strongly felt fishery was the best business to get into.
Mr Cheng focuses on groupers – a fish he says offers the best returns – importing them as babies from Indonesia and Malaysia for just over a dollar each.
He then grows them for 12 to 18 months before selling them for $15 per kg – about the weight of one fish".
"The growth rate of groupers is slower than the rest, which means you have to invest a lot more, so most farmers choose not to grow them," he says.
"The fish is high in demand, but there is less supply, so the prices will always be high. In 2008, it reached almost $20 per kilogram.
"I reckon the price will go higher because as Asians, as Chinese, we always believe that grouper is a lucky fish."
Singapore currently produces less than 5% of the food it consumes.
… the government wants to encourage entrepreneurs … to venture into farming so that the country can be more self-sufficient.
Goals set out by the Agri-Food and Veterinary Authority of Singapore include raising local production of fish to meet 15% of domestic demand from the current 4%.
Eggs and leafy vegetables are among other foods on its target list for production growth.
To meet these goals, the government launched a $3.5m Food Fund initiative in December, aimed "at strengthening our strategies of food diversification and local farming to ensure a resilient supply for food for Singapore".

By Rosine Alleva, José Oliveira, Journalist/Photographers – Rock At Night France, Switzerland.
SMOKING KILLS is a french blues rock band founded in 2012. After a first EP in 2014, they released the album "Silly Things" in 2016. After the band slipped in two, Jérémy and Pierre-Yves were joined by Yves and Sebastien last Autumn giving the band a brand new energy, and not the least…Those blues lovers combine the primary instincts of Mississippi delta music with contemporary electric guitars distortions, paying tribute to a music that will never die…SMOKING KILLS opened already for many artists over the last years (Joanne Shaw Taylor, Paul Person, Lucky Peterson, Rob Tognoni, Thorbjorn Risager & The Black Tornado…)
I interviewed the band during their last soundcheck, a few days before the kick off with the new line-up. And what a kick off!! They opened for the great female french guitarist LAURA COX. SMOKING KILLS gave a great live performance particularly highlighted with the new line up. An awesome initial concert and very promising!!!
The musicians:
Jérémy Cardot– Lead Guitar, Vocals
Pierre-Yves Scagnetti – Rhythm Guitar, Vocals
Yves 'Alabass'– Bass – Sébastien Delunel– Drums
RAN– The band was founded by you, Jérémy Cardot and Pierre-Yves Scagnetti in 2012. Both blues lovers, what are the band influences, today?
Jérémy Cardot– Well, we're with the new members since a few months now so we don't have common influences. The band's functioning mode has just always been the encounter of influences. That's what's interesting. Personally I'm influenced by Jimi Hendrix, Gary Clark Jr or more old school like Freddie King, BB King. My guitar playing is not oriented by artists like Joe Bonamassa on the other hand, it's not too much my style.
RAN– And what about you Pierre-Yves, you're the other guitar player…
Pierre-Yves Scagnetti– My influences are all types of blues, from Eric Clapton to John Lee Hooker, Muddy Waters or Albert King…
RAN– You recorded your eponymous album SILLY THINGS in 2016, with the ex members of the band, right?
PY– We released already a 5 tracks EP "Let it Burn" in 2014, we were 5 members with an harmonist. The album with 10 titles "Silly Things"in 2016 has been recorded without him as he left us.The first recording was an initial try with simple structures, different styles of blues and with the aim of creating.
JC– The EP was more of a test to see what we were worth, cause the studio experience forges as well.
RAN– You made a live video of 'SILLY THINGS' with the new line-up, Yves and Sebastien, ex One Trick Pony's bassist and drummer. How do you see your evolution with the new members influences
PY– Actually we worked our old titles with Yves and Sebastien, they worked hard and really well and even brought new stuff in!!
JC– Thus, it was not really interesting to immediately create something new, but to learn from each other, to reinvent the songs within the new configuration. The arrival of Yves and Sebastien helped to develop things and to look for new stuff, particularly for future compositions.
SÉBASTIEN – We begin to know each other and I'm really looking forward to creating new songs, record a new EP and have more great dates with the band.
RAN– I read this sentence on your site 'our goal is to honor a century-old music by forcing it into the 21st century'…
JC– Yes in fact what I meant is that, for having done some interviews, a question I was often asking to artists like WOUTER TROUT was "what is the blues for you in the 21st century?". They agreed to say that Blues is not the most popular style but it has gone through the ages and was able to reinvent itself. The survival of the genre and its evolution has gone through the merger to other styles…the blues was mixed with country, with soul, rock, it gave a new color to succeed to impose blues. It's coming back now and it's a big challenge to give it a new dynamic, impose it to generations who would not have been affected by this. Blues and Rock are not the most popular music styles at the moment, even if people don't know that 95% of the music they listen to today arises from it directly.
RAN– For a first concert with the new bassist and drummer, Yves and Sebastien, it's quite a cool supporting act!
JC– I think on a sold out concert like this, the crowd will be quite enthusiastic to be there although let's not forget people will not be there for us…Being a supporting act is a very interesting exercise cause you can be the unexpected part of the evening. it also gives local bands the opportunity to maybe get a certain visibility.
RAN– Last question, how did you meet with Yves and Sebastien?
YVES– Sebastien and I play together since 7 years, I told Jeremy we were looking for a new project as we had no more guitar player. Seb and I wanted to keep playing together. We didn't know Smoking Kills had no bassist and drummer anymore…
JC– Music is made of encounters. We both lost our bassist and drummer at the same time they both lost their guitarist, something unlikely to happen…It couldn't be better!
RAN– It's obvious you're really happy to have found each other! Looking forward to your new songs…Something tells me it's gonna be awesome!

Liverpool 5, Norwich City 0
PUBLISHED: 17:03 19 January 2013 | UPDATED: 16:17 21 January 2013
David Rawcliffe
Norwich City were sent crashing to their fifth defeat in six Premier League games as Liverpool hammered five goals past them for the second time this season.
The game at Anfield beat the weather but the Canaries must have been wishing it had not as they were completely swept aside by their hosts.
Chris Hughton's team currently look a shadow of the side that went 10 league games unbeaten before Christmas, and though they were without key defender Sebastien Bassong, it was hardly an excuse for such a capitulation.
Ryan Bennett, who replaced Bassong, might have given City an early lead when he planted a free header straight at Liverpool keeper Brad Jones, but from the moment Jordan Henderson fired Liverpool ahead on 26 minutes, it was a virtual procession.
Luis Suarez made it 2-0 after 36 minutes from a Lucas pass, and any hope of a fightback was extinguished on 59 minutes when £12m signing Daniel Sturridge scored the third from Stewart Downing's cross.
Steven Gerrard's low drive made it 4-0 after 66 minutes and the fifth came eight minutes later when Ryan Bennett diverted Raheem Sterling's effort into his own net.
After their 5-2 defeat by Liverpool at Carrow Road in September, their goal difference took another battering in a totally one-sided affair.
There were four changes to the City starting line-up from the 0-0 draw against Newcastle. Defender Bassong was a surprise absentee from the squad, with Ryan Bennett brought in to partner Michael Turner in the back four.
Wes Hoolahan, Anthony Pilkington and Simeon Jackson were dropped to the bench with Jonny Howson, Elliott Bennett and skipper Grant Holt back in the side – Holt making his first start since the Boxing Day defeat by Chelsea.
Only Russell Martin, Bradley Johnson and Elliott Bennett survived from the City starting eleven in the corresponding fixture last season.
Liverpool gave a first Premier League start for the club to Sturridge as one of four changes. Sturridge, Henderson and Jamie Carragher replaced Sterling, Joe Allen and Martin Skrtel, while there was also a change in goal with Brad Jones replacing Pepe Reina, who was out with a thigh strain.
Despite fears over the weather, and it was a bitterly cold day, snow had not fallen in the amounts forecast and Anfield and its surrounds were perfectly clear for the game.
Liverpool created the first opening in the third minute when Downing headed wide from a cross by Suarez after Glen Johnson had made good progress down the left.
City were operating with four across midfield, Elliott Bennett taking the left-sided role, and Howson supporting Holt in the role normally given to Hoolahan.
Holt won a free-kick under challenge from Gerrard and the dead-ball kick almost provided the opening goal as Snodgrass picked out the unmarked Ryan Bennett but the defender put his free header straight at Jones.
Downing fired just wide as Liverpool hit back, and with 12 minutes gone, there was a better opening as Suarez set up Sturridge for a low shot that Bunn smothered.
Suarez showed some dazzling footwork to get away from Turner and tried to set up Henderson for a shot and, as the ball came back to Suarez, he produced a smart effort from a tight angle that Bunn grabbed as the second attempt.
Garrido cleared at the expense of a corner, which Downing played short, but Holt was back to hammer the ball clear. Gerrard then let fly from long range from Suarez's pass but was well off target, and Bunn came out well to claim a cross from Glen Johnson.
City forced their first corner when Elliott Bennett's cross was deflected out, but the kick by Snodgrass was headed away.
But it was Liverpool who went ahead on 26 minutes with a cracking goal by Henderson.
Howson managed to harry the ball away from Suarez but Elliott Bennett's attempt to poke the ball away fell perfectly for Henderson to swivel and strike a powerful half-volley from 20 yards that gave Bunn no chance.
Henderson, encouraged by that success, tried another half-volley from further out on 35 minutes, but this time Bunn was right behind it.
But one minute later it was 2-0 as Sturridge dummied a pass by Lucas, leaving Turner in his wake, and Suarez raced clear to tuck a right-foot shot past Bunn via the foot of the post.
City rallied quite well and after Tettey had a shot deflected wide, Holt struck a powerful volley that Wisdom headed clear, just in front of Jones.
Glen Johnson earned the day's first yellow card for bringing down Snodgrass in full flight, but Garrido's free-kick was easily cleared.
Bunn saved well in first half stoppage time from Sturridge after Suarez had put him through, just about keeping the Canaries in the game at the interval.
• Half-time: Liverpool 2, Norwich City 0
Four minutes after the break, Tettey volleyed wide from the edge of the penalty area, and at the other end Johnson wriggled through but his cross drifted across the six-yard box, and Bunn had to save from Gerrard, though the flag was already up for offside.
Wisdom fired horribly wide after bringing Gerrard's crossfield pass under control, to spare the keeper having to make another save.
Downing was well off target with another effort as Liverpool continued to press, but with 59 minutes gone, he had a hand in goal number three.
Henderson picked out Downing on the right and while there was a hint of offside, the winger's first-time cross eluded Bunn and Sturridge had the simple task of scoring his third goal in as many games for Liverpool.
A foul on Snodgrass gave City a free-kick on the right, but his kick was headed away by Agger, and with 25 minutes to go the first change was made as Hoolahan replaced Elliott Bennett, with Howson switching to the wide left role.
Hoolahan was on the pitch only a few seconds, however, when it was 4-0. Glen Johnson made unhindered progress on the left and squared the ball for Gerrard, who had all the time in the world to pick his spot and drill a low shot inside Bunn's right-hand post.
Liverpool made a double change with just over 20 minutes to go as Sterling and Borini replaced Lucas and Sturridge.
To their credit, the City fans who braved the journey were still in good voice but as "On the Ball, City" rang out, Liverpool scored a fifth.
Substitute Sterling got away from Turner and slipped the ball across goal where Ryan Bennett got the final touch, poking it into his own net.
With 13 minutes left, Liverpool made their final change with Allen replacing Henderson.
Snodgrass was booked for a foul on Sterling and Russell Martin needlessly conceded a corner as the afternoon continued on its grim path towards the final whistle.
With four minutes left, Snodgrass made way for Pilkington in City's second change.
City fans were congratulated by the public address announcer for their efforts in travelling to the game and wished a safe journey home – but had little reward for their loyalty.

MLB Power Rankings: Sunday June 14th
Just feeling a quick blog tonight after coming out of my state of shock that Trevor Hoffman is indeed human. Here's my current power rankings for the MLB as of tonight with a sentence on each squad.
1. Los Angeles Dodgers (42-22): Unbelievably, this team has not missed a step after losing slugger Manny Ramirez and is easily the best team in baseball right now.
2. Boston Red Sox (38-25): Their dominance over the Yankees has pushed them into first place in the AL East and David Ortiz is slowly coming around.
3. New York Yankees (36-27): Mark Tiexiera and C.C. Sabathia are finally making good on the huge contracts they signed last off-season.
4. Philadelphia Phillies (36-25): Raul Ibanez has been fantastic and their 23-9 record away from home is unbelievable.
5. Texas Rangers (35-27): Nelson Cruz has been fantastic this year and the Rangers are more than staying alive without Josh Hamilton…so far.
6. Detroit Tigers (34-29): Edwin Jackson looks like the real deal and the Tigers are atop the competitive AL Central.
7. St. Louis Cardinals (34-30): When their rotation is pitching well, they are the best team in the NL Central.
8. Milwaukee Brewers (34-29): Their current rotation is not going to do enough damage to win the division and the bullpen is starting to come back down to earth.
9. San Francisco Giants (34-28): If it weren't for the Dodgers, we would be talking about the Giants much more.
10. Tampa Bay Rays (34-31): Evan Longoria is keeping the Rays alive but they need to start playing better in close games.

|Current and past OWASP Roles
|OWASP Brazilian Chapter member, AppSec Brasil 2009 Chair.
|Committee Applying for
|OWASP Global Conferences Committee.
Please be aware that for an application to be considered by the board, you MUST have 5 recommendations. An incomplete application will not be considered for vote.

|Role in OWASP
|Recommendation Content
|Eduardo Vianna de Camargo Neves
|GEC Member
|An outstanding OWASP Member that allocated heart and soul to make the OWASP AppSec Brasil 2009 happens and is already doing the same for the 2010 Edition. Moreover, Lucas is a high evangelist of OWASP resources within the Brazilian IT Community with a strong presence on the Government Sector and Academia.
|Pravir Chandra
|GPC Member
|Lucas is highly motivated and actually executes on his commitments very well. He did a great job in organizing AppSec Brasil 2009 and would be a great asset for the Global Conferences Committee.
|Matt Tesauro
|GPC Member
|Lucas has already demonstrated that he's qualified for this position based on the success of AppSec Brasil 2009. He went from zero to conference is a pretty short window. Not only did he pull off a successful conference, he did so under fire - he lost several speakers due to the flu, I had a crazy mishap with my flights and barely made the first day of the class I was teaching. Under all this, he kept his cool and keep the conference on track. I suspect that the only reason I know about these issues is I was both an instructor and speaker. For those just attending the conference, they would have only seen a smoothly running gig.
|Wagner Elias
|Brazil Chapter Leader
|Lucas is the member who contributes most to the growth of the Brazil chapter, this is due to the excellent organization has done in the first AppSec Brazil. No doubt he is a great name for a Committee.

Summer visitation: Make the transition smooth
School is out and many divorced/separated parents are making plans and preparing for their children's summer visitation.
While some of this is determined by the parenting plan, every decree is different, according to Kris Jenkins, former University of Missouri Extension health specialist. Most will outline the visitation length, child support details and transportation responsibilities. Some parenting plans are not this specific and most can be adjusted by mutual agreement if it benefits your children.
Flexibility is important. In order to decide whether children spend one long period or several short ones with the non-custodial parent, keep in mind the ages of the children, the length of time they can be gone and the other parent's ability to care for them. Many children spend a month or six weeks with the non-custodial parent, while others spend longer, especially if the parent lives far away. Sometimes, especially as your children age, the plan doesn't work or is very difficult to accommodate, so be prepared to renegotiate.
Remember these key points:
- Children have a right to spend time with both parents.
- Children should be encouraged to enjoy the time they spend with the non-custodial parent.
- Children have a right to love both parents.
"All family members have fears and concerns about the visitation," notes Jenkins. Custodial parents will worry about their children's health and safety and their adjustment to a different environment.
Children worry about how they will spend their time, their separation from friends, their acceptance by step or half siblings and their relationship with the other parent. Children often do not verbalize their worries or are not old enough to express them, but these worries still exist.
Non-custodial parents have concerns about how to spend time with their children, how to manage chores, responsibilities and work, and if their children will like/love them. They also worry about how the children will blend with new family members.
Summer vacation plans should be made well in advance. Issues of duration, travel, rules, curfews, diet, medicines, etc. should be handled by both parents either by phone, in person and, if necessary, in writing. Actual planned activities should be discussed with the children. These include day or sports camps, swimming lessons, vacation destinations and other events. Children who help make plans have something to look forward to and feel important and valued.
Both parents should prepare children for the summer. The custodial parent can positively influence their children's attitudes about the visit and the non-custodial parent can keep up regular contact during the school year in order to maintain a good relationship.
Adults should work together to make the summer transition easy for their children.

Coconut oil is known for a number of things, including being a highly nutritious cooking ingredient, a hair tonic, a excellent massage oil, and moisturiser for the skin. In tropical parts of the world, where coconuts are widely available, locals commonly spread coconut oil on their skin, due to the belief that it protects the skin from the sun's harmful rays.
Is it true that this natural oil, without any additives, can protect the skin in some of the hottest and sunniest places on earth better than processed and artificial creams? In our latest blog we explore the composition of coconut oil, explain why it is such a wonderful botanical, and why nature knows how to take care of us best!
Saturated Fats
Coconut oil is high in saturated fats. Due to the presence of these fats, coconut oil retains the moisture content of the skin. When regularly consumed, coconut oil deposits fats under the skin, keeping it healthy and smooth, giving it an even tone.
Capric, Caprylic, & Lauric Acid
These three fatty acids have strong disinfectant and antimicrobial properties. When applied to your skin, coconut oil protects your body against microbial infections that can get into open wounds or even enter your body through your skin's pores.
Vitamin E is essential for healthy skin growth and repair of the skin. Above all, it prevents premature aging and wrinkling of the skin, since it has good antioxidant properties.
Coconut oil is rich in many proteins. These proteins keep the skin healthy and rejuvenated, both internally and externally. Proteins, along with vitamin E contribute to cellular health and tissue repair, along with a wide range of other essential activities within the body.
Uses of Coconut Oil for Skin Care
1. Skin Softener
Coconut oil is a great skin softener and helps you do away with dry and hard skin conditions. Coconut oil is also good for hardened and cracked feet.
2. All-Over Body Moisturiser
Coconut oil is a perfect all-natural, whole body moisturiser that will significantly help reduce the chemical load on your body. It's also great for during pregnancy to avoid stretch marks.
3. Skin Disorders
Coconut oil is excellent remedy for a number skin disorders such as acne, psoriasis, and eczema. Because of coconut oil's protein content, the replacement of sick or dying cells that can occur with various skin disorders, are quickly replaced by new, healthy cells. Coconut oil therefore not only treats the infection by battling the microbial bodies, it also heals the damage or visible marks of the particular skin disorder.
4. Natural Body Scrub
Coconut gives the skin a good polish and deep moisturising treatment at the same time. Coconut oil, in combination with natural abrasive ingredients, scrapes off excess dead skin and cleans out whatever substances have blocked the skin's pores without leaving the skin feeling irritated.
Other Uses (In Pure Form)
Apart from all the amazing functions coconut oil holds, it can also be used up as a natural makeup remover, cuticle oil, lip balm, eye cream, shaving cream, moisturising bath oil, and conditioning hair treatment!
Why Skin Clays Uses Coconut Oil
Now is the time to start thinking of your skin as your second mouth. If you wouldn't eat the product, perhaps you shouldn't put it on your body? Your skin is your largest organ and many of the products (or chemicals) we smear all over ourselves, get absorbed straight through our skins, and sometimes into our bloodstreams – this puts an enormous toll on our skins.
If you're interested in seeing the benefits of coconut oil on the skin, add the Skin Clays Balancing Beige Clay range to your cleansing and skin regime this month and let us know how about your experience!

text: A bunch of amateur hackers from Gloucestershire have created a digital scoreboard for their cricket club using a Raspberry Pi. The Pi acts as the master controller for an Arduino which controls the 7-segment displays. The interface is then accessed via a tablet or laptop and the scores updated remotely. It's a lovely project, especially considering the group didn't have any electronics knowledge or experience and they had to rely on tutorials and resources on the Internet to put it together. You can read lots more, including how to do it yourself, on their blog.

Media Release 23 June 2018
Right to Life applauds the government's condemnation of children being separated from families at the border of the United States. The Deputy Prime Minister the Right Hon, Winston Peters "condemns children being separated from parents" in the United States. The Hon, Kelvin Davis, Deputy Leader of the Labour Party condemns the separation as "outright cruelty." Golriz Ghahraman MP for the Green Party, called on government to condemn this "egregious breach of human rights". The Hon Simon Bridges, Leader of the National Party condemned the separation as "highly regrettable and inhuman". It is commendable that President Trump has now reversed this unjust policy.
Right to Life is though compelled to question our government on its inconsistency in taking the high moral ground in defence of vulnerable children being forcibly removed from their parents. Why does the government not recognise that since 1978 it has been conducting a programme that violently and permanently separates children from their parents and prevents their entry into this country? The programme is state funded, is called a reproductive health service and is designed to prevent children who are classified as unwanted and a threat to the community from entering the country. The name of the programme is called "termination of pregnancy service." Since 1978 more than 500,000 unborn children have been forcibly removed from their mother and violently killed.
Since May this year the American government has separated more than 2,324 children from their parents who had arrived illegally in the United States from South America. The plaintive cries of these children have touched the hearts of people worldwide. The Abortion Supervisory Committee that was appointed by Parliament to preside over the termination of pregnancy service programme in New Zealand recently announced that a total of 13,285 unborn children were violently separated from their parents in 2017 and killed to prevent their entry into New Zealand. The silent screams of these children pleading for their lives as they were dismembered in the sanctuary of their mother's womb, echo throughout the land and is unheeded. Mothers are the second victim of this crime against humanity.
May our government recognise that every child from conception has a right to life, a right to be born and a right not to be separated from their parents.
Ken Orr

This was a different kind of birthday week. It was, what shall I call it? Satisfying :)) Ha, I still crack myself up. One of the things I didn't mention in that last post was that I also seem to be satisfied with what I already have. I couldn't think of a single thing I wanted to get for my birthday. What a refreshing feeling. Of course I still wanted to eat All! the! things! But I managed to eat reasonably for the most part 🙂
Here's a few things that happened this week.
One of the things that was the most important to me this birthday week was that I put an emphasis on exercise. And I wanted to get in the pool. To at least give it a try, swimming in colder weather. So on my actual birthday, I had a nice lunch with a friend, got a new haircut, found a Christmas tree, and then went to the gym, where I worked up a sweat on the exercise bike and the weights machines, and then GOT IN THE POOL! Yay me. I decided I didn't want to get my hair wet, so I walked 20 laps, and then I got in the spa, which was a real treat.
The Christmas spirit caught up with me and I brought in all my tubs and went through them a little at a time. With more room in my house, it was easy to find places to put all my stuff. It is fun to look at my treasures, many of which I had completely forgotten.
On Monday, I finally had my appointment with the ortho doc about my knee. I really like this doctor. He did remember me–it was almost exactly two years ago that I first saw him–and he did think that my range of motion had improved since he first saw me. That made me really proud that I had tried to follow his advice, and that two years later, the physical therapy exercises that I had learned are still a regular part of my exercise routine. I can really tell the difference when I slack off on them. So… even though my ROM was improved, my knee is worse. He is putting in the application to the insurance company so that I can get the gel shots in my knee. Honestly, I can hardly wait. And, he wrote a referral to the orthopedic surgeons "just so they can get acquainted with me."
On Tuesday, I had to go and have a root canal. It started with a small crack in a tooth. Dentist recommended a crown. So I went in for that. Do you know that they have to file down your perfectly good tooth so that the crown will fit? Yeah, so between the crack and the filing, the nerve/root started acting up.
All this added up to me thinking about things wearing out and getting old. But then I thought about the alternative–my grandparents didn't have teeth, and both of my parents had partials by the time they were my age. So I guess this is better.
Also on Monday, my episode on The Quilt Show went live. That was very exciting! In the weeks leading up to it, I worked a LOT on creating a website. It was so different from doing a blog, and that's what made it harder for me, I think. But once I found instructions, and followed them, and then got brave and clicked around a bit more, I finally got the gist of it. So now I have a real website for my art quilts. In case any of you are interested, you can click here. One nice thing about it is that for the first time I have most of my quilts organized into galleries so that you can view any of them. If you want to see my episode of The Quilt Show, I will be able to give you a code on Monday the 15th so that you can see it for free.
We're supposed to be having a big storm blow in tomorrow. So I was out in the garden cleaning up a little today. And I saw this camellia blooming away. Something like this makes me so happy, because this plant was really suffering in the container I had it in, and even when we planted it in the ground, it didn't look like it was very happy. Its taken over a year, but now it is flourishing. And so fun to have a plant that wants to bloom when everything else is ending. This bush always reminds me of the saying "memory is the ability to gather roses in winter."

We all know that accessories complete our outfits, from statement bags, footwear & jewellery this season is all about making sure you stand out from the crowd for all the right reasons.
My Boyfriend always laughs at me when I wear Socks & Sandals together, I laugh at him when he did on holiday, but you all would have, but as I always tell him I am wearing "Fashion" Socks & "Fashion Sandals". A tad different to his old man brown sandals- with Velcro fastening! Worn with black socks! No No No =D. So to keep my feet looking and feeling hot this winter I will be wearing the sock and sandal combo with pride. Make sure you pick socks that clash or at least stand out from the shoe so people know that you meant to wear socks. This rule can be applied to any shoe really.
Think small & studded, Geometric prints, Monochrome colours and decadently decorated with jewels. Either way get rid of the huge bag you have been lugging around small is the way to go.

Air Conditioning Contractor Servicing Mount Horeb and Madison, Wisconsin
Providing AC Repair, Air Conditioning Service and AC Replacement - Carrier and York Air Conditioners Specialist
In Madison and Mount Horeb Wisconsin, air conditioning is not a priority until the temperatures and humidity sky rocket. That is when we notice the air conditioning box that is outside of our house is not working very well. When it is time to replace your air conditioner, there are three things you will need to know: 1) What size of a unit do you need? Is bigger better?; 2) How energy efficient is it? What is the SEER Rating?; and 3) What type of refrigerant will the unit use?
Carbon Footprint is a big buzzword these days. We have a calculator that will help you decide which air conditioner is best for you based on how much you want to reduce your carbon footprint. Click here to check it out. And if you are interested in an estimate on a new air conditioner please call or use our online form.
Sizing the Air Conditioning Unit
Just like your heating system, size of your AC unit does matter. The old way of determining the size of the unit was to base it on the square footage of your home alone by simply multiplying square footage by a rule of thumb. That would be fine if all homes were exactly the same, but they are not. Some have basements without any exposure and some have partial exposure.
Some homes have the same insulation that was put in 30 years ago when the home was built and some have added insulation. The direction the home sits also matters, as well as the type of windows. All of these items factor into the number of BTUs that are required to cool (and heat) your home. This is why our Comfort Consultants here at Olson Heating will do a Manual J on your home before we ever give you an estimate. It is the right way to do it. The Department of Energy, Energy Star, and Consumer Reports agree and they also say to only choose an air conditioning contractor that will perform the correct sizing calculation.
You will hear the size of air conditioning as tons. (i.e. 2 ton, or 3 and half ton) Heating just uses the btu as its size but we convert air conditioning to tons based on its btu. For every 12,000 btus of capacity we call it one ton. So a 2.5 ton unit would be 30,000 btus.
SEER Rating
What is a SEER rating and why does it matter to you when you are looking at replacing your air conditioner? SEER is an acronym for Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio. It is a number that explains how much electricity an air conditioner will use compared to other air conditioners. The higher the SEER, the more efficient it is and the more money it will save you in utility costs compared to your current air conditioner. In January 2006, the Department of Energy began requiring manufacturer's to meet the minimum SEER of 13.
The most effcient air conditioners today are in the range of 20 SEER. Here in Wisconsin, most air conditioners purchased are between the 13 and 16 SEER level. In our region, we don't have a very long cooling season to see a payback for installing a 19 SEER air conditioner--the equipment becomes more expensive than what you are saving in utility costs.
Unlike the South, where they have more cooling than heating, air conditioning contractors can install an 80% furnace or heat pump only and the most efficient air conditioner available because the customer will use it more and it will eventually pay for itself. If you are really looking to save money and want the most efficient air conditioner, you should look at a hybrid system with an air source heat pump. With this combination, you will lower your summer cooling costs and have excellent heating savings by not having to burn a fossil fuel. See the Hybrid Systems page for more info on air source heat pumps.
Also geothermal systems have even better cooling savings, see the Geothermal Systems page for more information on geothermal heating and cooling.
Refrigerant Type
At this time, air conditioning equipment is offered in two types of refrigerant, R-22 and R-410a. R-22 has been proven to be harmful to the environment; therefore, after 2009, air conditioners using R-22 will no longer be available in new ac equipment. All new equipment will have R-410a in 2010. You will not have to switch your system after 2010 during routine air conditioning service procedures, but as equipment gets replaced, R-22 will eventually be eliminated. R-22 will continue to be produced for air conditioning service for ten years after that. At this point, the R-410a is a little more expensive, but its cost will continue to decrease as it becomes more available. The reverse is true for the R-22. Which one you use is up to you.
Air Conditioning Without Ductwork?
Do you long for central air conditioning, but don't have the ductwork for it? It is possible with Unico central air conditioning systems. There is still ductwork that is required, but it is smaller and is run in either the attic or the basement with the venting being in the ceiling or the floor. View our Unico interactive to see how this air conditioning system can work for you.
For those that would like a more quiet option to the window units, ductless mini-splits are your answer. These units are similar to through-the-wall units but incorporate an outside unit like central air.
The wall unit is remote controlled and very quiet because the ac compressor is located outside in the ac condenser unit. The units are connected by copper tubing that is run on the outside of the building. You can cover the tubing with a cover that looks like a rain downspout. Take a look at Sanyo's website for pictures and applications.

At this year's Southern C Summit, I had the honor of leading a pre-conference workshop on Facebook advertising. I was blessed to have 15 fabulous ladies sign up for this session and we had a fun time digging into Facebook ads.
Why should businesses invest in Facebook advertising? According to Buffer, "91% of marketers invested in Facebook advertising last year. And it's easy to understand why when you look at the data: more than 1.18 billion people use Facebook every day, and on average, each person spends more than 50 minutes a day across Facebook, Messenger, and Instagram."
If that statement doesn't convince you, take a look at these statistics from Hootsuite –
Social media advertising is the most cost-effective way to advertise in this day and time, with Facebook leading the way with the various, and amazing, options available to businesses.
[bctt tweet="91% of marketers invested in Facebook advertising last year. – Buffer" username="thesouthernc"]
Now that you're interested, let's take a look…
When starting a Facebook ad, there's a process you walk through in the Ads Manager to help you set up the right ad, and maximize it for the best results.
When running a Facebook ad, you need to know what you are promoting and why you are promoting it.
Then there are three decisions to make –
Selecting your audience is the most important part – more important than the ad itself. When selecting your audience, you are narrowing in to target the ideal customer/client.
Your choices are to either –
Your choices for placement are:
If you're not sure, Facebook will recommend using the default placements for your objective:
For more information on ad placements, visit: https://www.facebook.com/business/help/175741192481247?helpref=related
Ah, the budget. Here's where you determine how much you are going spend for your ad. You have two choices: daily budget (how much you spend per day) or lifetime budget (how much you want to spend for the entire campaign).
Yes, you can run an ad for as little as $1/day but not every ad will let you do that. Here are the spend minimums:
For more information on ad spend minimums, visit: https://www.facebook.com/business/help/203183363050448
Now the second-most important part of the whole process – creating your ad.
You can choose an existing post as your ad or you can create one from scratch.
If you are creating an ad from scratch, you have 5 formats to choose from –
Note: Formats will vary based on the ad objective you have chosen.
And after that is done and your ad is running…
How do you know if you Facebook advertising is working (or did work)?
You can view the results of your ads in the Campaign Dashboard and view each ad (as shown above). You can customize your reports through Columns and Breakdown.
It's really an easy process and once you've created and successfully run your first ad, you can start over with your next promotion.

definitely BATES BLACKS!!
no question about it!!
hell they can fight!
they both have..a black bonanza's blood i them..
I like Richard Bates black, I watch them fight, very strong, good
cutter and they are game...
DVH Blacks.... awesome fighters and very game... always consistent in GFBAN, NGBA, and Balbina stag derbies in Negros.
DVH blacks are verygood and early maturer. Zamboanga black of Manny Dalipe's stable are equally impressive. Neene abello has black too but not as popular as his reds.
I am not a fan of RB fowls, sorry!
I don't have any blacks from them but if I have to choose, I take R. Bates black. Richard Bates was a stag Derby Champion straight 7 cocks won all using blacks. Can you beat that?
I have Black Simms trio right now and will test the offspring's might on Stag Derby 2007.
i am on R. BATES side ive seen his chickens fight on WSD and they have fighting consistency they win on a very good fashion and if they lose they still give a good fight..
Blacks...Red...Greys...Brown reds, it don't matter. What matter is how you condition them cocks.
Richard Bates was a handler in states before he decided to be a breeder and in P.I. not in states.
Thats why conditioning a cockfighter or battlecock is his specialty.
DVH, is a breeder cocker. He hire a handler to condition his battlecocks. See the difference?
RB was the handler of the known Dante Silverio before, kaya ang farm nya nasa Silang. So please ask RB where are the big businesses of Don Dante Silverio? As I know RB is conditioning the fights of Danding Cojuangco's stable, so please don't get wrong.
Bakit pa sya nag handle to date kon sustainable ang money making sa own breeding nya as the like of DVH & Zamboanga's.
His known bloodline is his bigtail.
Try visiting the 30 hectares DVH Farm in Don Salvador Benedicto, Negros Occ. Maybe it will give you a better perspective of his farm and facilities. Lots of quality fowls to choose from... as in thousands..
Fowls win because of its fighting characteristics. Handling is only a small portion of the equation. Breeding and healthy rearing from a very young age to maturing as a cock is the biggest factor in winning. You can hire any good handler if you have good fowls. As a matter of fact any handler will be coming if they see the qualities of the fowl.
Like I said it is a matter of consistency and DVH shows that year in/year out for now and maybe years to come.
Check this out.
how could you say that bates black is better than DHV's black? have you seen DVH's black in the pits? if not, i urge you to see DVH's blacks fight before you make your conclusion.
How's your famous bulik-breed? Perhaps, if I have time pag uwi ko i'll visit your farm. Gamit ko subong Blueface cross of Gorka Pag-asa neighbor mo gid da sa Bacold.
Good lookin Brown Red
as for the hinlo blacks, they actually (bloodline) got their spurs from cagayan de oro. dvh was still under contract to breed fowls for pbrj........pbrj fowls was whipped by local breeder ry everytime they meet at the pits..even pbrj's fabled "bodlat" lines...ry bred and fought these blacks and have won a lot of derbies using these fowls.....dvh, the wise and very smart breeder that he is, scquired a bunch of these blacks from ry to propagate...very mean cutting fowls...full frontal,full contact fowls and very game...specially when crossed to dvh's greys...the dvh bkacks are great but the dirty greys(crossed)are meaner...just ask edmundo....dvh is a legend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! in cag de oro, we call these fowls the slim fernandez, the slim benoist came from de sagun.........
:blush: look for these traits if you want to acquire dvh blacks: lead colored shanks(tingga),medium-high station,red..brown red eyes(not black). with patches of black around the eyes, not black face....straight comb!!!!!!not brown red in color, but darker abit more..you've got his winning line!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the key to the success of dvh blacks is the slim benoist blood, he has won with it ....slim bodlat,slim dan gray,slim jimmy east....he has won it all........dvh whites???????????? ask the missus....mrs dvh, that is......these whites are the meanest of them all..but you can only fight them if they're 3-4 years old..4-6x winners....if and only if dvh will let you have them...but then again, ask the missus!!!!!!!!!
hinlo's are better...msterbates is the best...
dude i didnt say anything negative about DVH blacks its just that on my own opinion i like bates chickens better.. well if ur asking me about me having seen DVH fowl fight inside the arena well i did see some ad i would say they are fine chickens also..
like i said i just prefer bates.. u copy me now? heheh
For me Norman Black!!! just kidding
I`ll go for both, both are awesome fowls and breeders
How about Boy Diaz`s black superbbb mmannnnnnnn i`ll go with this anytime.
kasi hindi ako mahilig sa blacks, sa tisay pwede pa para kitang kita ang tinta ng PUSIT.............. he he he he di ba engrjag?
joke lang....
i'm now a bit confused
WTJ entry is conditioned by Bates
and birds came from DVH
my bad
correction sir, DVH & pbrj are business partners.
he does'nt have contract to breed fowl for PBRJ.
bodlat,slimbenoist hatch,greys, whites crosses those were the old lines of DVH during the 80's to the late 90's...
yes u'r rigth that the slimbenoist broodcock came from CAPT. JOE DE SAGUN.
and now wer talking about dvh blacks in the 20th century...
for me they were awesome rooster...
but many people asking how he develops his blacks, he replied
thats my secret...

No cookbook, I'm doing this one from memory.
One season of work is coming to a close, with a month to go before the next one. I've been looking forward to days of reading, writing, cooking, and yard work at home. The weather encourages me. Yesterday, gray sky, temperatures in the 60s, and the hint of rain in the air sent me to curl up on the couch with books, laptop, dogs on nearby dogbeds, and Mozart's piano sonate swirling around the house.
I didn't plan to spend much of the day cooking. Somehow, though, I wound up making a batch of granola for two week's worth of breakfasts and a sheet of spelt cracker to nibble on for two day's worth of lunches. In for a penny, in for a pound. I decided to make fresh pasta for dinner. In anticipation of a nice pasta with salad, I removed from the freezer one of my little tubs of fresh tomato sauce I made over the summer.
Fresh pasta is one of those elements of a solitary meal that is too good to forego because of the effort. After long practice, I can now make one serving of pasta for myself in about 20 minutes, which suits quick sauces and sauces that simmer for a while. Every time I make pasta, I learn a little bit more about how it should feel in my hand as I knead it.
And here's something to note: I got rid of my pasta machine long ago. One of Marcella's books first alerted me to the problem of using a machine. Something about rolling the dough between the two metal cylinders toughens the surface of the dough so that the noodles do not absorb the sauces. They tend to slide right off them. In fact, once I got rid of the pasta machine and learned how to roll out a small sheet of dough quickly, I found I made pasta more often. Even though there's probably not a great difference in effort, I'm more likely to make pasta if I don't have to drag out the pasta machine and attach it to the counter.
So, to make the pasta…
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 large egg
tiny pinch of salt
I put flour, egg, and salt in a little bowl and stir with a fork until the dough that forms makes it too difficult to continue. After dusting the work surface with flour, I transfer the shaggy ball of dough to the floured surface and begin to knead it. Everyone finds their own way to work the dough, but I find alternating between squeezing the dough with my fingers and pressing down my palm on the ball works best for me. I work the dough with one hand and hold a pastry scraper in the other to scrap up bits and also the dough, if it's too sticky.
I usually knead the dough for 5 to 10 mins. When the ball of dough is smooth, I let it rest on the work surface for a minute, while I lay a few sheets of paper towel out on another counter. Then I take the wooden dowell I use for rolling dough out and press down on the ball. Pasta dough is more elastic than pie dough. Ideally, I should be able to roll out the pasta dough without additional flour on the work surface, but sometimes that doesn't happen. The pasta dough should not stick to the surface. Once I've rolled it out thin enough to let light come through, I use a knife to cut it into strips. I transfer the strips to the paper towels to let them dry a bit. It's important that the noodles not touch each other. If I'm not going to cook them soon, I may sprinkle a little cornmeal over the noodles.
And then the sauce…
1/2 – 1 cup tomato sauce, preferably fresh
2 Tblsp olive oil
pinch of red pepper flakes
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
3 anchovy fillets
1/2 tsp kosher salt
parsley, chopped
parmegiano reggiano cheese, freshly grated
Heat the olive oil in a skillet. Add the pepper flakes, garlic, and anchovies. Sauté gently until the anchovies dissolve in the oil. Be careful not to burn the garlic. At this point, start the water for the pasta. Add the tomato sauce and salt. If the tomato sauce is watery — as my summer batch was — simmer the sauce until reduced to desired consistency.
Meanwhile cook the pasta. The fresher the pasta is, the shorter the cooking time. Taste it after a minute and a half. Drain, pour into a warmed bowl, pour the sauce over it and sprinkle with parsley and cheese. Take it to the table, pour a glass of wine, put on music of your choice, remember to turn off the kitchen light, open your book or magazine, and savor the meal.
Next time…
Once you can make the pasta quickly and well, it's time to play. Add a couple of extra yolks and be prepared to add more flour as you work the dough. Substitute a portion of the flour with semolina. It changes the texture, makes it a little rougher and chewier. Try making a batch of pasta with semolina entirely, an egg, and a couple of extra yolks. Then you're making pasta like they do in the Emilia-Romagna, the only region where Marcella would eat fresh pasta in a restaurant.
