For Saasu files created after the 29th January 2019, please see information on how you can use, access and alter your templates within our new theme library.
If your Saasu file was created prior to the 29th January 2019, the below is how you will access and update your templates. NOTE: Themes will no longer be supported from 1st July 2021 (previously 1st July 2019) as a new template builder will be available in Saasu
Saasu lets you customise the PDF version of your invoices, purchases, statements and payslips so you can include your logo, company branding, additional information (like payment information or terms) and changing the layout. You can also customise the details included when you email the PDF.
The content is dictated by the PDF Template and Merge Fields and the design is dictated by the HTML Theme.
About Templates
Components in a template
|Template Element
|How it works
|Sender Details
|The text you enter into this section will appear in the top right corner of the invoice opposite the logo. Again, you can enter any information you want into this area, but it is best suited for your business address, phone number, website and email contact information. If you add more than 10 lines of information it will start to push the address and invoice content down the page.
|Remittance Details
|The text you enter into this section will appear immediately below the list of items in your invoice. Although most suited to remittance information, you could include any information that you like in this area. Remittance information is the information your customers require to make a payment. This may be payment information, PayPal, Ebay, Bank Direct deposit, Credit Card payment options.
|Payment Options
|List the payment methods you accept and the details for these methods
|Footer Text
|This is the information that appears in the footer area of each page. You may choose to include your address details or any other relevant information that you feel would be useful in this location. Examples include business registration numbers, terms of trade, general Disclaimers or Privacy Statements, Product Disclosure Statement link and Terms and Conditions.

Change the logo:
- Go to View > Templates to open the template

- Click the Save option at the bottom of the screen.
Tips and Information about logos
Resize your logo using online image resizer tool.
You can upload multiple images to use as logos (JPG, GIF and PNG). The maximum file size is 100KB.
File Width maximum is 960px if you aren't putting information in the Sender Details area. Else it is 640px. Saasu doesn't auto-size images.
The quality of the image you upload will directly result in higher quality PDF's in Saasu but your PDF file size you are sending out will also be larger. So there is a trade off between quality and file size. Generally the market likes to receive PDF files for invoices around 100kb.
For the best quality result we recommend using images with a resolution of at least 150dpi. Bear in mind higher resolution images will result in PDF generation taking longer each time.
You might sometimes need to try different formats from the above list for your templates. So in case if one format is not displaying properly or if you have trouble viewing the PDF invoice, you could try converting the image into another one from above. This usually resolves any rendering issues that were preventing you from viewing the PDF invoice. It is important that the image stays within the recommended size for viewing with or without sender details.
Adding Payment Details
WHERE: View > Templates
In the PDF template you can set defaults for various areas that make up your invoices and statements, upload and select a logo for the template, add notes and provide information such as payment details.
You can have different PDF templates for different trading names, individualised for particular customers or even customised for different times of the year (eg. Christmas or End of Financial year). There is no limit to the number of templates you can have.
EFT Bank Details
It is possible to create an invoice template to show EFT (Electronic Funds Transfer) bank details. To create a duplicate of your Default Sale Template that shows your EFT bank details:
- Go to View > Templates
- From the list, click the name of the Template with the Type "Sale Default"
- On Edit Template, click on "Duplicate" at the bottom
- On Add Template, update the name so it shows "with EFT details"
- On the section "Payment, notes and other information", enter your bank details for EFT such as Account Name, BSB and Account number
- Save the screen
If emailing/printing invoices to customers that require your EFT details, select this template.
LOCATION: Australia
BPAY is a payment process used in Australia. Businesses wanting to be able to receive BPAY payments will need to contact your financial institution to apply. As part of the sign up process, you will be provided with a BPAY Biller Code and the BPAY Operations Manual. You can then provide these in your Saasu Invoices so your customers can pay you. Below we provide some ways to help you do this.
How you provide a reference number to your customers is quite important as it may impact reconciliations and other workflow. Generally speaking unique numbers of each payment help you assign the payment to the correct transaction but require your customer to enter a new unique reference number each time they pay you. Alternately a static number is easy for your customers and reduces their input/entry risk but it may add to your reconciliation burden. Saasu can only support static CRN's as we don't yet support CRN generation. You can create a static CRN for each customer using BPays CRN tools.
You can create a BPay reference number as follows:
- Use the BPay software to work out your clients CRN number. A single digit number. Let's say 7
- Go to View > Templates. Open your template by clicking on it and navigate to the Payment area.
- Add this text (note that the template can be set to Text or HTML):
BillerCode: [supplied by your bank]
 Cust Ref#: {BillingContact.ContactID}{InvoiceNumber}7
Creating a tear-off
A tear-off is often used when people make payments by cheque or credit card and you would like them to send this information back to you so you can match the received cheque against their invoice or process the credit card payment using the handwritten information. To create a tear-off:
- Go to View > Templates
- From the list, click the name of the Template with the Type "Sale Default"
- Copy the below Remittance Advice text into the "Payment, notes and other information" field in the Template screen. NOTE: Make sure you have it at the bottom of this section if you are having other information such as bank details in this section also.
- Edit the "Your Company" section to be your company name and address.
- Leave the merge fields below as displayed. Saasu injects data into these as we create the invoice that is from the transaction itself.
- Save the screen
——- Remittance Advice – Please retain the above portion for your records ——-
Your Company
Address Line 1
City State Postcode
Customer Ref: {BillingContact.ContactID}
Customer: {BillingContact.FirstName} {BillingContact.LastName}, {BillingContact.Company.Name}
Invoice#: {InvoiceNumber}
Amount Due: {HasAmountOwed}
Email Template
Where: View > Templates > Email tab
Saasu provides you with the ability to email invoices, purchases and statements directly to customers and suppliers from within Saasu, without additional email software or plug-ins.
The email template handles the information that is included in the body of the email, whereas the PDF template handles the information contained with invoice, purchase or statement that is attached to the email.
In the email template you can use merge fields to include customer information such as name, company or other information contained within the contact data.
Using Email Templates:
- Use ',' to separate multiple addresses, e.g. firstname.lastname@example.com,firstname.lastname@example.com.
- Make it a default template to have the email form pre-filled for you automatically with these values when you email your invoice, statement or payslip.
- Test to see how it looks good in common email applications such as Outlook, Thunderbird, Gmail, Hotmail and Yahoo mail.
To prevent email being sent to spam setup an SPF record.
BCC your emails to a mailbox you own
Setup a mailbox for your business that can act as a repository containing a copy of all the email you send out. e.g. firstname.lastname@example.com
Don't use Email templates for
- Marketing by sending quotes/invoices soliciting business that has not already had a customer opt-in to buy a product or service from you.
- Any other use other than the intent to deliver an invoice to a contact for the purposes of finalising a pre-agreed transaction.
Does Saasu keep a copy for me?
You can always print/view a copy of an invoice or statement from within Saasu but we don't provide email storage at this stage. We suggest you BCC everything you send out to your contacts.
Do merge fields work in Email templates?
Yes. You can use merge fields such as {BillingContact.FirstName} to personalise your emails. Please see Merge Fields for details.
Can I use a different template when emailing a contact
At present this is only available in Automated Transactions to allow different templates to be used for different groups of contacts you send to. In a later release we will allow you to choose an email template when you go to send a manually created transaction but at present this only uses the Default template.
Embedding Barcodes
If you have a an online barcode generation service that fits your preferred style and that you have a license for you can easily embed barcodes in Saasu. Some are free and some charge for commercial use. As an example using BarcodesInc.com you would add this code in to your HTML Invoice Template in Saasu. It would generate a bar code for the {ClientID} merge field you had saved in Saasu as an example. If you get get clever with the themes for your Saasu template you could in theory have barcode by line item at the Saasu Ihem level to create a barcode for a picking slip.

Templates for different invoice types
Saasu already supports many invoice types including tax invoices, orders, quotes etc. as standard. If you require a specific invoice type that's not available in the invoice type drop down, you can always create a new invoice template to associate with the invoice.
- Go to View > Templates from the main menu. Click on any template in the list.
- When you are in the Edit Template screen, click on the link "Edit and create your own theme" which can be found under the Theme pick list.
- From the Themes list, click on an inbuilt theme for either Sale or Purchase, depending on which transaction type you want to use the invoice template for.
- When you are in the edit Theme screen, scroll down to where the buttons are and click on the Duplicate button.
- Enter a name for the Theme. For this example, let's call it "Proforma Invoice".
- Click inside the HTML markup text area, and scroll down to the document title section which has the merge field {InvoiceType.PrintDescription}. Replace this with the title you want. In our example we will simply add "Proforma Invoice" as shown below.
- Click on Save and Close.
- Go to View > Templates from the main menu again. Click on Add link on top of the list.
- Enter a name for the template, in our case we will be calling it "Proforma Invoice".
- Select the previously created "Proforma Invoice" Theme from the theme pick list to associate it with this template.
- Click on Save and Close.
- When you want to email or print an invoice using this template next time, it will appear in the PDF and Email template lists in both invoice list and invoice edit screens as shown below.

My name is Dave and I am from Bristol, England. I am a huge hockey addict and Philadelphia Flyers fan.
I have a number of favourite players which includes Simon Gagne, John LeClair, Scottie Upshall, Matt Duchene, Jordan Eberle and Brayden Schenn.
My love for the Flyers came around the 1997 season (not long after the hammering from the Red Wings in the Stanley Cup Final) but my admiration for left-winger Simon Gagne did not come until he lit the lamp with a OT GWG in Game 6 of the 2004 Conference Finals against the Tampa Bay Lightning. The likes of Eric Lindros, John LeClair, Mikael Renberg, Eric Desjardins and Mark Recchi et al enticed me into the exciting organization that is the Flyers, and the rest, as they say, is history.
My First NHL game: Saturday November 17th 2007 - Ottawa Senators @ Toronto Maple Leafs. Leafs won 3-0.
My First Flyers game: Friday November 24th 2007 - Philadelphia Flyers @ Ottawa Senators. Flyers won 4-3.
I lived in Toronto, Canada for almost a year in 2009 which luckily enabled me to see many more live games. In total, I've seen the Flyers play in Ottawa, Boston, Philadelphia (five times), Buffalo and Toronto for a combined 9 games.
I also follow and support my local team, Bristol Pitbulls, who currently play in the ENIHL South 1 (English National Ice Hockey League). Unfortunately, hockey in Britain isn't as well documented as say in Canada and the States, with football (soccer) dominating the headlines here.
Getting onto cards, I am by no means a big 'high end' collector. I even get excited when I receive a base or an insert, but I am trying to build a nice set of Simon Gagne.
I collected NHL cards back in 2000, 1995/96 Upper Deck Collectors Choice to be exact (almost complete), but it was not until the Spring of 2010 when I decided to really collect cards, and thought it was going to be tough to think what player to collect (as a lot of collectors have more then one PC on the go - and my budget does not stretch that far!), but at the end of the day, it turned out not to be a tough decision at all. I had bought my first card on May 15th 2010 and I have not looked back since. I recently have got into the TTM (through-the-mail) side of collecting and have sent out a couple in the post, but to date, I have not received anything back. For successes, please check in the 'Misc' section of the website.
Although I was a huge hockey fan to begin with and then getting into the collecting side, it has brought me even close to the game.

Matthew Carter has been refining his design for Alisal for so long, he says, that when he was asked to complete the design for the Monotype Library, it was almost as if he were doing a historical revival of his own typeface. The illusion even extended to changes in his work process: although he now does all his preliminary and final drawing on screen, the first trial renderings of Alisal were done as pencil renderings.
Alisal is best classified as an Italian old style design. Originally created between the late 15th and mid-16th centuries in northern Italy, the true Italian old styles were some of the first roman types. They tend to be the most calligraphic of serifed faces, with the axis of their curved strokes inclined to the left, as if drawn with a flat-tipped pen or brush. These designs offer sturdy, free-flowing and heavily bracketed serifs, short descenders, and a modest contrast in stroke weight.
Alisal has nearly all the classic Italian old style character traits, plus a few quirks of its own. It is calligraphic in nature, with more of a pen-drawn quality than faces like Palatino or Goudy Old Style. It is more rough-hewn than either Goudy's Kennerley or Benton's Cloister, and is generally heavier in weight than most of the other Italian old style designs. One place where Alisal makes a clean break with traditional old style designs is in the serifs. While sturdy and clearly reflecting pen-drawn strokes, Alisal's serifs have no bracketing and appear to be straight strokes crossing the main vertical.
Like Caslon or Trajanus, Alisal is a handsome design when viewed as a block of copy. Ascenders are tall and elegant, and serve as a counterpoint to the robust strength of the rest of the design. Alisal is available as a small family of roman and bold with a complementary italic for the basic roman weight, providing all that is needed for the majority of text typography.

Most people are afraid of doctors and tend to avoid them. However, at the same time most people worry about their health and schedule a visit from time to time just to make sure that everything works fine.
But this woman from Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, was too afraid of doctors to check her condition when it started to show up. She actually avoided going to the doctor for five years and it had nearly fatal results. Over the course of these five years she developed an enormous growth in her abdomen that had to be operated as soon as possible…

This is Mercedes Telemontes who refused to go to the doctor for 5 years. During that time, she had developed an enormous tumor in her abdomen.
She had grown from 143 to 275 pounds, and her daughter finally convinced her to arrange an appointment. She was rushed into surgery right away!

There was the enormous growth ballooning inside her which disturbed woman's breathing and movement. It had to be removed as soon as possible or it could be fatal. The doctors at Cabo San Lucas IMSS Hospital got to work immediately.
The surgical team was led by Dr. Gilberto Inzunza Salazar. They spent four hours in surgery working hard to save life. They discovered that the tumor had developed in her ovaries and moved into her abdominal cavity. It was nearly half of Mercedes' bodyweight!
The relief of having it removed was amazing. Mercedes said, "I feel like a new woman. In fact, after the surgery when I took my first steps, I felt like I was walking on air." According to the doctors, it was the largest ovarian tumor ever.

Patrice Bernier wishes every week could be Montreal's home opener.
And with the way he played, why not? Bernier's three assists paced the Impact to a 4-1 triumph over the Seattle Sounders in the opener of Stade Saputo on Saturday and earned him Player of the Week honors for Weeks 13-15, as voted on by the North American Soccer Reporters (see who and how the media voted here).
WATCH: Bernier in action vs. Seattle
The 32-year-old Montreal-area native led the Impact to their highest single-game goal tally in their young MLS career, which included a brilliant feed to Felipe who buried the newly renovated stadium's inaugural goal.
The nod is Bernier's first in what was just his eighth career MLS game, after signing on with Montreal last December from Lyngby BK of the Danish first division.
Bernier received seven of the 18 votes cast, narrowly edging out runner-up Fabián Espíndola, whose brace led Real Salt Lake to a 3-0 win over Chivas USA. Chicago's Chris Rolfe and Patrick Nyarko, Vancouver's Darren Mattocks, and Bernier's teammate Felipe also received first-place votes.
Weeks 13-15: Patrice Bernier (Montreal Impact)
Week 12: Emilio Rentería (Columbus Crew)
Week 11: Dwayne De Rosario (D.C. United)
Week 10: Lee Nguyen (New England Revolution)
Week 9: Chris Wondolowski (San Jose Earthquakes)
Week 8: Steven Lenhart (San Jose Earthquakes)

Editor's note: Charalampos Theopemptou is Cyprus' Environment Commissioner. Here he expresses his opinion on the effects of climate change on the Mediterranean
CNN -- Many people in Cyprus feel that we are already seeing a lot of changes in our climate.
Higher temperatures and more notably decreased rainfall have caused many changes in the economy and government policies.
A 2008 report by the European Environment Agency (EEA) aimed at decision-makers makes specific mentions on the effects on nature and the economy due to climate change in the Mediterranean region.
With regards to tourism the report warns that as temperatures and summer weather in general are set to increase in northern Europe less people will be willing to travel abroad. An area of high temperatures and water shortage will not be an attractive place to come for holidays mid-summer.
This is a significant warning for Cyprus where 50 percent of the income comes from tourism.
An increase in the number of hot weather days combined with decreased rainfall will increase the risk of forest fires and push the area faster towards desertification.
An additional warning of the EEA, which is also of major concern to the World Health Organization, is the effect of climate change on health. Deaths are associated with hot weather and air quality has already worsened with dust particles reaching Cyprus from the Sahara much more often than in the past.
What is important for Mediterranean countries is to prepare for these changes.
We need to use water more efficiently, utilize better the water from the sewage treatment plants and find ways to introduce rain water harvesting to the population.
In order to avoid high energy bills, we also need to tighten building regulations for better energy efficiency and find ways to improve existing buildings.
The EU directives on renewable energy and efficiency together with the upcoming directive on water use in buildings will only provide help for the member states within the Mediterranean region.
Non-EU countries in the region will not have to adapt themselves and this is not an easy task as it needs technical know-how, funds and long term planning.
The droughts in the past, the frequent dust storms, the diminishing snow on the mountain tops and this year's excessively hot day (that reached a record high temperature of 46°C or 114.8°F) has left Cypriots with no doubt that our climate is changing and the world needs to urgently agree on large CO2 reductions.

In my last post I was waxing lyrical about the 'c2c' crochet technique I've recently discovered. Well, I got to thinking about how to progress from just doing the large squares and rectangles I've seen it used for so far. So - I decided to play around with the concept and have fun....! ;-)
One little square, with various stripes:
Doesn't look all that much, right?
.....but try adding a few more:
...or shuffle them around ....and add another couple....
....see where I'm going with this....?
It's like a combination of crochet squares and patchwork and now there are all sorts of possibilities rattling around in my head.......!
I'll get back to you with some other combinations!
(oh, I do love a NEW project!!)

This unique and delicious spin on potato salad from chefs Jeremiah Stone and Fabián von Hauske of NYC's Contra and Wildair starts with Yukon Gold potatoes boiled with garlic and bay leaves, then smashed with cheddar cheese, onion and butter-toasted walnuts mixed with umami-rich miso. A drizzle of maple syrup and a sprinkle of fresh mint finish the dish. Slideshow: More Potato Recipes
How to Make It
In a large saucepan, cover the potatoes, garlic and bay leaves with 2 inches of water and bring to a boil. Cook until the potatoes are tender, about 30 minutes. Drain the potatoes; discard the garlic and bay leaves.
Meanwhile, in a small skillet, heat the olive oil. Add the walnuts and toast, stirring, until golden, about 5 minutes. Add the miso and stir until coated. Transfer to a plate to cool.
Transfer the potatoes to a large bowl and mash with a fork until chunky. Add the walnuts, cheese and onion and mix well. Transfer to a platter and drizzle with the maple syrup and vinegar. Garnish with mint and serve.

"But the first thing we should know, as Jung has put it – that the next step has to be that you become Collectively Conscious." – Shri Mataji (excerpt from Radio Interview in Sydney, 1981- March 31)
This month there were few reminders sent to us that are are 'Jungians at heart', about Carl Gustav Jung commemorations around the world. As this brilliant mind is considered as a realized soul by sahaja yogis from all over the world, I am sharing below a great video not to be missed and 2 links-articles with very interesting connections and videos/interviews with Jung, as well a newly discovered mentioning of Shri Mataji – the founder of Sahaja Yoga meditation – on the Point of Conscious Mind, with reference to Carl Gustav Jung as well. A very poignant lecture, that represents pure knowledge for the soul as well can be taken inside as healthy food for any inquisitive mind. Enjoy and let's pay our respect to Carl Gustav Jung who brought us all further as well deeper within.
"We can say like this: that the past, the future and the past they pass like this in the center and they pass out. So the thoughts from the past come to the future and the future to the past, but they cannot stay at conscious. For example I say, "Now. At this moment. Stop it!" You cannot. Why? Because of thoughts. The thought rises, goes up and falls down and disappears like that. Again another though rises and again falls on this side. Now you can see the rising of the thoughts, but you cannot see the falling of the thoughts. In between the two thoughts there is a little gap known as Vilamba in the Sanskrit language. That is the point of conscious mind. The thoughts can come from the supra-conscious side or can come from the collective subconscious, can even come from the pre-conscious or can even come from the subconscious. That's how the thoughts waves are."
"But if you have to jump into the conscious mind itself, now at this moment, you cannot do it because at that point there is no thought. I am not telling you all these things of my own because this has been already discovered by many psychologists. That one has to jump into Thoughtless Awareness, not into the so-called trance but into awareness which you are completely aware but inside there is Silence. Now this silence has been described by all the scriptures. And while jumping into that even the psychologists so many of them said that you jump into an unconscious mind which – unconscious which is not going to (unclear), achetana, which is collectively conscious, which is universal."
"For example, we can say Jung, one of the greatest psychologists and I respect him very much. He has done a lot of work on the unconscious and he has taken many years to experiment on thousands and thousands of people to find out how the unconscious works through dreams and symbols. Now he has found out many symbols appear in the dreams. For example a triangle like this appears in a dream of one man, pointing downward. Invariably in all the cases wherever such a dream has appeared, such a man has murdered someone. Or if the triangle is just upside down, means the top is the pointer then invariably all these people who saw this in the dream and reported to him, they were murdered.There are many such things he has found out. He also found out another thing about the Universal Unconscious, that it always gives you a balance, by different experiments."
"Now the medical science people have found out many things which they cannot answer. I told you already that they have found out that acetylcholine and adrenalin which act through the parasympathetic and the sympathetic nervous system, they act very funnily in the body and they don't know how they are controlled by whom and why they act. They say the mode of action of these two chemicals is not known. That means one thing is sure – that they cannot explain. So, we have to think why – why a chemical should react separate, different? Because there is a deity sitting within. There is a Deity (or Archetype in Jungian language), a living deity that handles the chemicals in the way that it likes."
"The other day also I asked you a question – a medical person if you go and ask him, "If everything, every foreign body is thrown out the body how is a fetus is accepted, not only that but nurtured in the body?" So we should know that there is a Unconscious Universal Being which is being accepted by many people in the West. And that's why they say, "Let the unconscious look after, let us have the spontaneity, let it work out spontaneously." But they cannot, they are so complicated now.They have such an analytical mind that they will go on analyzing and they cannot allow the spontaneity to work out."
"They are trying all their methods to work out the spontaneity, but somebody has to give an impetuous, has to give that 'triggering' as you can say. Because through rationality, if you want to jump into unconscious, you cannot. Rationality is a very limited stuff. If you want to go to something unlimited and universal, which is collectively conscious, then you have to learn to be unlimited yourself. Now how will you do it? Somebody has to trigger it. You see a light, a dheep (Indian candle), which is not yet lighted, it is a limited stuff. But when you light it, it becomes unlimited. But for lightning this light you have to take another light near it. When you bring another light near it, it doesn't do, it's just like a catalytic agent. It just touches this and it starts burning. It gets unlimited light. The light becomes unlimited with a limited dheep. In the same way somebody has to trigger this."

Another fantastic article with explanations. I have seen the video before, but I got much more out of it this time. Thank you for posting this! I don't know very much about Carl Jung. I am curious to read more about his life and his work.
I discovered Carl Gustav Jung in a York University philosophy class. His discoveries were what opened my mind to the unlimited realm and collective consciousness for the first time. I was so impressed that experiments and analysis could scientifically prove that there was an evolving force for all mankind. He revealed that one person's achievement could push forward another unrelated person's achievement half way across the world…because they were connected to the same mains. This was to be only part of my journey…it has become a living reality for me through Sahaja Yoga life where I experience the truth of my being and my connection to others and the power that is revealing itself to me through the language of vibrations. My computer is working a little slow today, but I look forward to watching Shri Mataji lecturing C.G. Jung's society hall to the public. Her thousands of lectures fill in all the blanks, answer all the questions, and the vibrations simply reveal the truth in her words.
Your Own "truth"…
Is now being revealed…
By Yourself…
To Yourself.

A Complete Guide to the Best Online Slots
All About Online Slots Why Play Slots?
Whether you're on a casino floor or an app, there's no doubt that slot machines have an unprecedented charm about them when it comes to casino games. But what makes them so popular? How have they managed to dominated entire casino floors and how has their popularity translated to the online casino world?
The History of Online Slots
When you think of a casino, what is the first thing that pops into your mind? Maybe a blackjack or roulette table, but most likely it's a slot machine. The "one-armed bandits" have become one of the most enduring icons of gambling.
Perhaps that's because they represent betting in its purest form; your fate is up to random chance with every spin. Unlike most other games on the casino floor, there is no strategy to learn to get an edge at a slot machine. Sharp gamblers can help their own case by picking their machines wisely, making good use of bonuses and knowing a few tricks about how to wager. However, the actual game requires no work or special knowledge whatsoever. Just spin until you win!
Slots are actually relatively new as far as popular casino games go. The first ones appeared in the late 1800s, but these actually bore more of a resemblance to today's video poker games. The traditional three-reel slots first became popular in the early 1900s. For a long time, they were entirely mechanical, not incorporating electronic elements until the 1960s.
Video slots emerged in the late 1970s, but it was the late 1990s when they began to almost entirely take over casino floors. Coincidentally, that was when internet gambling was also taking hold. Video slots were perfectly suited for the future of gaming because they could be developed for and deployed at both online and offline casinos at the same time! These days, you can find many of the slot games you see at brick-and-mortar casinos available online for real money play as well.
Why Play Slots?
Slots are easily the most popular game at both online and offline casinos. But why would they be the most popular if they are also among the most random?
It's because not all gamblers have the same preferences, and many punters just want to have fun and relax. It's true that they would get better odds playing something like blackjack or poker, but that involves a lot of learning of the game and practice time. A lot of people don't want to have to do homework before they start playing. The more skill-based games also aren't the greatest for players prone to anxiety in stressful situations.
The slot machine doesn't require any learning of strategy - just step up and start having fun. Find the ones that you enjoy the most and just spin the reels. You're free to enjoy a drink or two while playing because being 100% focused isn't really going to help improve your chances at all.
Slots are also tantalising because they offer big wins and jackpots beyond what nearly any other casino game can offer. Even the most humble slots usually have a major prize that is beyond what you could win at most other games with just one single play. Moreover, then there's the monster "progressive jackpot" games, which can stretch into the millions of pounds in rewards and are like hitting the lottery if you win.
Finally, slots players get treated the best by the casinos. They tend to be the best customers and the most reliable repeat business, and as such, they get the benefit of the most generous rewards and bonuses. When slot players make smart choices about their games and make good use of all their rewards, they often do better on the balance than the average, mediocre blackjack or video poker player (and have more fun along the way as well).
Different Varieties of Slots Different Online Slot Types
There are many different varieties of every casino game available, and online slots are no different. But with so many different types and varieties available how do you know which ones you should be playing? Find out what the best the online slot varieties are to suit your gaming needs.
What Are the Different Types of Online Slots?
Just about every type of slot game you see on a casino floor has made the jump to online casinos at this point. The following are the major categories of slot machines, with a little about what makes them unique.
Reel Slots
When an online casino has a "reel" or "classic" slot section, they're usually referring to video slots in the style of the older mechanical three-reel slots or five-reel slots. Aside from nostalgia, the appeal of these games is that players hit wins more frequently.
They usually don't have the mega-jackpots that the video progressives do, but players tend to hit smaller wins much more often. Another characteristic of these is that they generally don't have bonus rounds, which can actually be a benefit in that it means the theoretical return to player (more on this later) can be calculated if it isn't already displayed.
The "pay lines" on these slots are also the easiest to understand. Usually just right down the middle and diagonal, possibly with vertical lines implemented in some models.
Video Slots
Video slots expand the traditional reel slot format. They tend to stick to five reels since they fit neatly onto a screen; they usually don't expand to more than seven. However, the sequence of symbols per reel is theoretically infinite. <a [class]="visible1 ? 'show-less read-more' : 'show-more read-more'" class="read-more" on="tap:AMP.setState({visible1: !visible})">Read More »
One hallmark of the video slot is a lot of different pay lines, as many as 1000 at some games! In addition to the usual horizontal and diagonal lines, you get lines that zigzag all over the screen.
Another hallmark of video slots is the bonus game. When the player collects enough bonus symbols, they may be taken to a separate mini-game that offers big rewards without any further wagering. Some examples include hi-lo card games, matching games or spins on a "wheel of fortune."
So if video slots have all these paylines and bonus games, how do players ever lose money at them? Well, the deal is that many of the paylines pay smaller amounts than your wager. You have to combine a number of them to win money, but hitting one or two of them at least reduces your loss on that spin. The goal with many video slots is to hang in there until you get to the bonus rounds or an assortment of free spins, which is where the big money comes rolling back in. « Show Less
Progressive jackpot slots
Progressive jackpot slots are usually video slots, but with a twist. Each wager that doesn't hit a progressive jackpot feeds a little bit into it, and these jackpots just keep growing until they are hit.
Progressive jackpots often have a structure in which there is one "major" jackpot and a number of smaller "minor" jackpots, all of which grow over time. The biggest major jackpots at UK online casinos reach into the tens of millions of pounds. Even the smaller jackpots are usually big enough to be a life-changing win if you hit one.
Progressive jackpots can be linked between different types of games, and in some cases, they are linked across different properties!
Terminology, Bonuses and Requirements Understanding Online Slots
The great thing about casino slots which makes them different from other casino games is that they don't require any in-depth knowledge or expertise in order for you to be able to play them. However, it does help your game if you have a good understanding of the terminology. Read the following section to get to know all the essential slot vocabulary.
Slot Machine Terminology
While you don't have to learn any strategies to play slots successfully, it helps to learn the game lingo. You'll be more informed when choosing your games if you know what common terms mean, especially those related to types of bonuses!
Paylines are simply the lines along which you can win money. Video slots will usually show you all their possible paylines if you let them sit without putting any money into them, with the value of each line listed at one horizontal end (or both).
Wild symbols
The wild symbol is simply like a wild card. If it can be used to complete a winning line, it will. This usually includes being used as different symbols for different paylines that it's in the middle of.
Sticky wilds
Usually, a wild symbol disappears with each new spin. Sticky wilds are the exception. Chance upon one and it will stick around for some amount of future spins. <a [class]="visible0 ? 'show-less read-more' : 'show-more read-more'" class="read-more" on="tap:AMP.setState({visible0: !visible})">Read More »
Stacked wilds
Stacked wilds cover one entire vertical reel. With some games, hitting stacked wilds on every reel simultaneously gets you the biggest possible prize.
Expanding Wilds
An expanding wild simply grows beyond its initial position when it pops up. It might expand to cover that entire reel, or it might spread over to adjacent symbols.
Scatter symbols
A "scatter" symbol is one that doesn't have to be on a specific payline to win you something. Getting three or more scatter symbols on a spin is very often the way that you get into the bonus game or get free spins. Wilds can sometimes multiply their effects.
(X) Ways to Win, All Ways or All Pays
Slot games that use these names are unusual variations that may not use traditional continuous paylines. They may instead have some unique non-connected patterns throughout the playfield that are winning combinations.
Fruit machine
A UK-specific term for slot machines. Though it can be used as slang for any type of slot, it most accurately refers to a type of basic reel slot commonly found in pubs that is notorious for not paying out well. Online slots are much better than the traditional fruit machine!
Pay table
The small chart that shows how much each winning combination pays out. Most common on older-style reel machines with limited winning combinations, but some video slots that declare their theoretical return to player may have it displayed on a pay table. « Show Less
What Kind of Slot Bonuses Are There?
Slot players are in the best position to get bonus offers from online casinos. Here are some examples of what you can expect.
Matching bonuses
A matching bonus is an enticement to deposit some money with the casino. Most online casinos in the UK market offer a sizable matching bonus when you create a new account. This gives you an amount of free play (usually 100%) equal to whatever you deposited.
Online casinos also often give you partial deposit bonuses when you add more money to your account. 25% to 50% is a more common range for these "top-up" bonuses.
"No deposit" bonuses
As it says on the tin, a no deposit bonus is provided without needing to deposit money. This is a form of bonus most often given to you just for creating a new account with a casino. Most of the time it will consist of some free spins at certain specific slots or a very small amount of free play.
Free Spins
Free spins let you spin the reels with no risk. Each spin is worth some fixed amount, such as £0.25 or £0.50, and the winnings you get from them will be transferred to the bonus funds in your account. Free spins are often granted as a promotion for new slots or for those the casino feels could use some more attention. <a [class]="visible1 ? 'show-less read-more' : 'show-more read-more'" class="read-more" on="tap:AMP.setState({visible1: !visible})">Read More »
Tournament entries
Slot tournaments can be one of the best ways for slot players to win money. The way they usually work is that you pay a small entry fee, and are then given "play money" to try to build upon over the course of the tournament. If your entry ticket is free, however, then any tournament prizes you win are pure profit at no risk! Free entries to tournaments are a common perk for regular slots players and one that they should definitely take advantage of.
Reload bonuses
We touched on bonuses for refilling your account above, but only in the context of matching funds. Instead of (or in addition to) doing this, casinos might offer you some free spins or other perks.
Mobile bonuses
In order to attract players in the highly competitive mobile market, some online casinos are offering slot bonuses that are only available through smartphones or tablets. These might be sent only by push notification to the mobile device, or by email only to those who are using the casino's mobile app. That doesn't mean you can't use your desktop or laptop if you want these bonuses, but you'll need to use your mobile device to access the casino at least part of the time.
Payment method bonuses
Likewise, some casinos offer slot bonuses for using a particular payment method to refill your account. Be sure to check the terms and conditions carefully, however, as some casinos also will disqualify you from certain bonuses for using certain e-wallet services.
Real world bonuses
If the casino you're playing at has a VIP program, you can expect all sorts of neat "real world" goodies when you get accepted to it. It's not uncommon for these programs to ply their biggest players with trips to vacation destinations, event tickets and all sorts of nice gifts.
You don't necessarily have to be at the VIP level to get these sorts of benefits, however. If the casino has a connection to some sort of brick-and-mortar properties, however, you're likely to find benefits rolling in that are redeemable in person at said properties.
Referral bonuses
Some casinos give you a special code or web link that you can send to friends and acquaintances who might be interested in an account. When they sign up and meet certain wagering requirements, you get some bonus money as a sort of finder's fee.
What Are Slot Bonus Wagering Requirements?
It's important for online slots players to be aware that many of these bonus offers come with wagering requirements attached. These are in place because casinos could not afford to simply offer every new customer free cash with no strings attached; they would go broke in a week if that were the case.
A wagering requirement simply means that you have to play through either the bonus amount or the amount that you win from the bonus a certain amount of times before it can be withdrawn. If you happen to lose it all during this phase, no worries, you won't be out any actual money.
For example, if you get a matching bonus on your first deposit, you might have to play through the bonus funds 20 times before you can make any withdrawals. If you get some free spins as a no deposit bonus and you win £100 from them, you'll be asked to play through that £100 some amount of times before you can withdraw it as actual cash.
Theoretical Return to Player (RTP)
The return to player (RTP) of a game is the amount that you can expect it to give back over its lifetime of play. Another way to look at it is the amount that a casino expects to profit from it over the long haul.
So let's say you're playing a slot with a 95% RTP. That means that as long as the casino is running the game, they expect to keep about 5% of all the money players put through it. On your end, if you play it for long enough, you can expect to get back about 95% of your money.
Of course, you can win or lose much more than 95% at any given session. That's what's called "variance." With a large enough sample size (millions of spins), periods of variance in one direction or the other balance out and give the game its estimated RTP.
RTP can be tricky to calculate when it comes to slots. At most other casino games it's pretty straightforward math, but slots often have bonus rounds that the player doesn't know enough about the inner workings of to get an accurate RTP number. So unless the software developer opts to make the RTP public, it may not be available at all.
You do have a small advantage by picking games with higher RTP, but it's only really crucial for slot games that you plan to play hours and hours at (for example, if you're chasing progressive jackpots). If you're just going to play a slot for a short time, the whims of variance are such that the RTP probably isn't going to matter much.
Skill-Based Slots?
"Slots" and "skill" are previously words that did not belong together, but some software developers are trying to change that. Noticing that slots fans tend to be an older demographic and that the millennial and younger demographics aren't picking them up in the same numbers, designers have started to add skill-based video game elements to try to entice them.
The most common pattern so far is to have a standard slot but to give the player a chance to win extra money at a skill-based bonus game. Adaptation of retro video games has been a big early trend in this area. Slots like Frogger, Space Invaders, Pong and Galaxium have bonus rounds that reward players with good reflexes.
Software developers and casinos are treading slowly and carefully in this area, since they want games that have predictable returns. But they're also taking their chances will skill-based slots, because the market for them is just too promising to pass up. « Show Less
Online Slot Playing Strategies Strategies
Everybody wants to win big, that's a huge part of why people frequent both online and land-based casinos in general. Having a strategy can help you improve your chances of hitting the jackpot, so are there any strategies should you employ when it comes to playing online slots?
Are There Online Slot Betting Strategies?
There isn't really any strategy in actually playing slots, but there are some strategic choices you can make that can help your chances of extending your bankroll and hitting that big payday. <a [class]="visible0 ? 'show-less read-more' : 'show-more read-more'" class="read-more" on="tap:AMP.setState({visible0: !visible})">Read More »
In brick-and-mortar casinos, the biggest and most elaborate slots usually pay out the worst. That's because they cost the most to buy and maintain (and may take up more floor space to boot). That shouldn't matter with virtual slots that are online, though, should it? Well, it actually just might. If an online slot has an elaborate cabinet on casino floors, the software might be a direct conversion - in which case the RTP would be the same.
You also usually get the best odds by playing the maximum amount of lines at the minimum bet per line. While this isn't true 100% of the time at every game, it's true very often and is a good default strategy when you aren't sure what to do. The one big exception is progressive jackpot slots, which might require a bet at or close to the maximum to qualify for the main jackpot. There is no point in playing a progressive if you aren't betting enough to qualify for the jackpots.
Finally, the biggest tip we can give is to not waste money on slot machine "betting systems" of any sort. There is no betting system that can consistently beat the house edge or the random nature of the game. « Show Less
Online Slot Myths Debunked
You've probably heard a lot of rumours regarding online slots. A lot of people believe that online casinos manipulate their online slots programme to ensure that the jackpot is unobtainable. In this section, we will see whether claims like this actually hold any weight.
Slot Machine Myths
Perhaps more than any other game in a casino, slots are a centre for myths and urban legends. We'd like to dispel a few of these here.
You'll hear players talk about "tight" and "loose" slots a lot. There is a lot of misunderstanding behind these phrases. Some people believe that casinos can tighten or loosen the payouts at will, while others believe the machines change on their own according to a schedule (or even just by magic). The truth is, slots have a preset payout rate that isn't adjusted while you're playing or even in between games. Some slots are looser than others in the sense that they have a better expected RTP, but individual slots don't go through arbitrary "tight" and "loose" phases. They certainly don't change their likelihood of paying out on the fly just to manipulate you!
<a [class]="visible1 ? 'show-less read-more' : 'show-more read-more'" class="read-more" on="tap:AMP.setState({visible1: !visible})">Read More »
Some people also believe that the casino can remotely control slots to change the outcome. This is next to impossible to do without being caught at a land-based casino. While it's more possible at an online casino, this is the sort of thing that government regulation and third-party testing agencies are for. Random game testing ensures that there is nothing goofy going on in the slot code. Also, keep in mind that online casinos generally license their slots from an independent software developer and do not have any direct control over things like RTP and the results of spins. Rigging games for one casino would make absolutely no sense for a software developer, as they would lose the hundreds (if not thousands) of other clients they have if they were caught doing this.
Some of the misunderstandings about payouts may stem from the way certain progressive jackpot slots work. Some of these games are guaranteed to pay out before the jackpot hits a certain amount. When it rolls over to that amount, usually the next spin wins it automatically. Some progressive jackpots advertise the exact amount, but at others it is kept secret and changes between wins. Some people may errantly believe that all slots work the way the guaranteed progressive jackpots work; there's a secret amount of spins or time that they have to hit by. This isn't the case, however. Outside of progressive jackpots with guaranteed hit amounts, slots never work this way. Every single spin is a random and isolated event with an equal chance of landing on a winning combination.
"Hot" and "cold" slots are also cases of variance, which we touched on earlier. Individual players will inevitably have hot or cold streaks where they win or lose a lot. This is a completely random event that is normal along the lifetime of a game. But people tend to see someone's hot streak of variance and incorrectly attribute it to a "hot machine." Likewise, they may see someone losing many spins in a row and errantly think it's somehow a machine setting. Or they may believe that if a big jackpot was just hit, a machine may not be "due" for a while. All of this is a case of the brain writing in patterns that aren't actually there. It's all just random chance and natural streaks of variance.
There are also no special techniques for timing the wheel stop to guarantee a win. This was possible back in the very old days of slots, and there was a brief fad in the 1970s of "manual stop" slots (which had very poor payouts) as a gimmick. But all slots are electronic now, and all online slots are essentially a type of video slot. All video slots use random number generation to determine results rather than actual reels. That means the result is actually determined before the reels even stop moving; the only reason reels are even still present are for visual entertainment and due to the tradition of the game. « Show Less

As you would with any type of reward, it is vital that you have all the tips and tricks to ensure that you get the most out of your rewards, so read on to find out about all the bonuses you could earn.
Rewards for Online Slots Players
Online casinos often have a loyalty club that gives you points and benefits as you play through money on the slots. You're usually automatically enrolled online, which is a big benefit. At land-based casinos, you have to remember to sign up for and always bring your loyalty club card, remember to insert it into the machine and remove it every time you play, and keep it up to date and keep the magnetic stripe from getting scratched! <a [class]="visible0 ? 'show-less read-more' : 'show-more read-more'" class="read-more" on="tap:AMP.setState({visible0: !visible})">Read More »
The main benefit of loyalty programs is cash back. You can usually exchange the points you earn for cash, which can either be cashed out directly or put back into play.
All sorts of other benefits can come from loyalty programs, however. Things like free spins, free play, free entries to tournaments, enhanced deposit bonuses and more. Some online casinos have a tiered loyalty program that clearly spells out the benefits you get when you reach each new level.
In addition to the published benefits, expect online casinos to surprise you with periodic gifts as well. These can come by way of email, push notification or may just appear directly in your casino account. The more you play the slots, the more likely a casino is to shower you with random gifts. And of course, if you can get accepted into the VIP program you can expect these bonuses to be even bigger and better! « Show Less

It's looking (and smelling) a lot like christmas~ la la la la la..
Hahahaha, so I made Gingerbread cookies with my cousins a couple of days back. Okay not exactly. We omitted the ginger powder 😛
There's nothing much to it. All you need are simple ingredients, some christmasy cookie cutters and of course a lot of time and effort!
Gingerbread Cookies
Recipe from Sweet Additions
2 eggs
125g butter
1/3 cup golden syrup
1/3 brown sugar
2 cups plain flour
1 cup self raising flour
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp vanilla essence
Hmmm, if you're looking for a crispy kinda cookie, i'm afraid this is not the recipe for you. It's a soft cookie!
I didn't bother to read the instructions, you can follow it from the link if you want! If not.. be like me and just mix everything together 😛 Just for kicks, here are many photos of every ingredient and step we made for the cookies heh.
Doesn't matter to me what you add in first. But yeah as i said, for kicks.. Here we go 😀 Butter..
Golden syrup
Mix and start adding the flour mix by bit. You don't want everything flying out!
Halfway there! Nice and creamy. Scrape and continue adding and mixing.
Dough! Wrap it up in cling wrap. I refrigerated my dough because i feel that it's easier to work with cold dough, especially with shapes. I split my dough into 4, wrapped them and put them in the fridge, this is so that i can just exchange the dough whenever my dough gets too warm/soft!
While you wait.. maybe you'd wanna play a game of Ticket to Train or two 😛
And then start again!
I rolled my dough on a silicon mat to keep things neat.
We lightly dusted the dough in flour before rolling it because the dough tends to stick to the rolling pin! Just lightly dust. We don't want to add flour into the dough – it'll be really stiff afterwards.
Press out your shapes! I had quite a few fancy cookie cutters, including headless and limbness gingerbread men hahaha.
After cutting, carefully move them to your baking tray and bake at 180C for about 20 mins.
Pretty unbaked cookie dough! Heh.
While that batch is baking.. Repeat! Roll…
Cut and bake!
Tah dah. Leave to cool.
Here's one of my happy bakers 🙂
Repeat until all dough is used up!
Bunch of cookies!
Use your favourite royal icing recipe.. Or just google for one hahaha.
Colour them and place them in piping bags! I didn't use piping tips for this though, i only snipped a little hole at the end.
Now decorate!
Snow flake!
My uncle joined in 😛 His gingerbread men was in office wear, with sunglasses, a santa hat, an injured leg and the other leg.. missing.
I think my cousin was a little confused whether it's gonna be christmas or halloween. You'll see what i mean.
This is my favourite! From the batch that she did that is.
These are the ones i did! Haha! And you saw it right, i made a Pikachu gingerbread man for my other cousin hahaha.
The ones my cousin did. See what i mean by halloween? It was great fun seeing how the kids brought the cookies to life (or death for that matter)
Hard at work!
My aunt joined in as well.
You can add sprinkles too. Pretty colours!
One gingerbread man ate the other's leg hahaha.
Frosty the snowman~ And a pretty colourful snowflake 😀
Christmas lovers
A sad, lonely christmas for this fellow!
The 3 happy (and tired) bakers for the day (and night!). Hope you guys enjoyed this post especially when I haven't been blogging in forever. Hope this is useful for you guys for christmas. If you have no idea what to get your friends and loved ones for christmas, i'd say christmas cookies/bakes are awesome gifts 😉

Ranked #1 on The A.V. Club's Best Graphic Novels and Art Comics of 2013
This original graphic novella is a funny and moving story of escalating humor and tension between two disaffected teens, Mike and Wolf, who take a spontaneous summer road trip after dropping acid. As the stark black and white of Forsman's cartooning indicates, however, this is not a psychedelic, Kandy-Kolored Tangerine-Flake Streamline Baby kind of trip. Instead of the escapism they crave from their fragile home lives, the LSD only heightens their sense of ennui, exacerbates their fears about the world they're about to enter as adults, and creates doubts about everything they think they know.
Though not entirely what they bargained for, will Mike and Wolf look back on their adventure as part of the "celebrated summer" of their never-to-be-recaptured youth, or a carelessly wasted part of the best years of their lives? Or both?
"Isolated and longing to connect, Chuck Forsman's Wolf reminds me of other great characters like Charlie Brown and Holden Caulfield. Celebrated Summer is a primal scream drawn in a casual, hypnotic monotone. Few comics are this soulful. Few cartoonists can make work this assured." James Sturm
"I love the spare elegance of Chucks storytelling style. I also love, in this book in particular, his relaxed approach to examining the lives of his characters." Chester Brown
"Unexpectedly, almost secretly lovely, Celebrated Summer has a sadness and listlessness at its core that resonates much louder...Forsman gets in and out quickly, not making more of this tale of suburban apathy than needs making, which only makes his story that much more poignant." Katie Haegele, Santa Barbara News Press
"Forsman is a master of silences - few cartoonists are as articulate with words left unsaid - and this utterly recognizable and deceptively simple story speaks volumes without saying much at all." -Josh, Locust Moon Comics
Praise for Charles Forsman's The End of the Fucking World:
Ranked #9 on Tucker Stone's "19 Best Comics of 2012" at The Comics Journal
Ranked #11 on Comic Book Resources' "Best Comics of 2012"
Ranked #2 on Same Hat's "17 Favorite Comics of the Year"
"The most beautiful piece of Americana made in years. Every page Forsman draws is a minimalist masterpiece. Huge and heartbreaking. A modern triumph disguised as an episode of Peanuts. Matt Seneca
"The awkwardness, the urgency, the sense of discovery, the sense of revulsion its all true, even if youve never stuck your own hand in a garbage disposal." Sean T. Collins
"Great stuff." Frank Santoro
"[TEOTFW] exemplifies what exactly it is I love about comics. Its lo-fi yet stylistic, subtle yet visceral a version of Bonnie and Clyde bled through the lens of Gus Van Sant's Paranoid Park." Spandexless
"This is a crime comic disguised as a slacker-road-trip comic, and Forsman delivers its methodical hum eight pages at a time with an astounding precision." Comic Book Resources
"[TEOTFW] pulls you in like no other comic this year. Stunning in its simplicity and brave in its subject matter." MTV.com

I'm such a blonde. What happens when rain hits snow? It melts! I might have made the mistake of calling it slush earlier, oppstini. Instead of hopping over slush puddles on my walk to the gym, I hopped over rain puddles. Everywhere. The rain was even worse and more harsh on my walk back to work, but the workout was so good and left my muscles feeling sore.
I was craving cardio today, so I split it up between 3 cardio exercises:
- 1.5 mile run
- 10 minutes Elliptical
- 10 minutes Vertical Elliptical with intervals
The vertical elliptical is easily my favorite piece of equipment at the gym. I had never seen or used one of these before joining Gold's Gym this past summer, but it has became a staple in my workouts. When you switch the incline, you bring your legs up higher to your chest, and each incline works different areas.
There's even a display of your legs that will light up depending on what area you're working.
It's awesome!
With 5 minutes left in my workout, my stomach started to growl, and I was tempted to ditch early because my lunch was the highlight meal of my day. I soldiered through the last 5 minutes while dreaming about this:
An egg and cheese sandwich. To. Die. For.
I haven't had one of these sweet babies in what feels like a solid month, so it received a warm welcome in my tummy.
I made this last night before bed and reheated it in the microwave today. Of course it's better eaten fresh, but it's still just as good reheated.
For the base of the sandwich I used Flat Out Hungry Girl Whole Wheat with Flax Foldit.
I cooked two eggs and left them partially "easy" and loaded one egg with shredded cheese before sandwiching the two eggs together. This baby hit the spot!
After work I broke a monster sweat while I completed the Core Synergistic P90X workout. This is the 2nd time I've done it, and while I didn't enjoy it the 1st time, I found that I really got into it tonight. My abs were burning and cursing through the core exercises.
My abs will be looking fierce on tomorrow night's date. Errr, well, I mean my stomach will be flat? 😉
Look at how patient the little boy is while he waits to lick the Chobani yogurt container.
This is our nightly tradition. After I make my overnight oats he gets the container to lick and chew.
Time to go relax for this little lady!

Intelligence services are very important to any security body, mainly, because they are used to provide important information on the relevant security matters. Security for all is a basic service that is mandatory to the citizens who have a right to demand it from the government. Holding all factors constant, intelligence services have been facing a serious hitch which leads to mismanaging security concerns as well as subjecting citizens or particular persons to a reasonable risk. A poor communication between the stakeholders, an untimely and inaccurate information collection have ultimetly guided to theintelligence pitfalls (Dorril, 2000). Due to the above mantined areas of the nation's mismanagement of this crucial security service, the various reforms have been put forward to streamline the service delivery process as well as to increase its efficiency (Dorril, 2000).
Poor communication or communication barrier between the stakeholders has turned to be one of the major pitfalls in the intelligence service. Communication barrier leads to the misunderstanding between the two sides of communication, hence, making the body ineffective. In most cases, when a communication barrier is witnessed, another process of interpretation of the raw information is needed. This degrades the relevance of this information because intelligence service information is vital and an immediate action is compulsory. If the communication between the two sides is not effective, then the action to be taken will not be timely as it is usually required. This development subjects the citizens to a possible risk and a hitch in this service as well as to the implementation process.
Untimely information collection by the service is another pitfall. This body is expected to be aware of all the happenings within the duty area. Failure to sense the insecurity subjects, before they happen, has created by other stakeholders a room for criticism. Police mostly rely on the intelligence service information to make sure that law and order are maintained within and outside of the country (McNaughton, 2006). If the intelligence service fails to collect information on time, then a police and the other security organs will not be able to act effectively. It is the duty of the intelligence to inform and to provide data which acts as a raw material to a stable and secure nation. If one is to go by the history, most of the dangerous insecurity missions that have happened in this world were effective, mainly, because the intelligence service was not aware of the matter on time. On the other hand, some of the insecurity missions have failed as a result of timely awareness of the intelligence; hence, preparing for the possible challenge or diverting the risk.
Inaccuracy of data collection has also been cited as a major letdown by the service. Accurateinformation leads to the accurate solution. If the information collected was not accurate, then the possible threats might change its cause and therefore subjecting the targeted citizens at risk. It is important to reduce the risk by acquiring the right information so that the risk management will be possible (The 9/11, 2004). In order to avoid all these challenges, the intelligence service has adopted technology as the best way to get accurate information on time and to improve in communication. These reforms have also called for more training and exposure of the agents to help them to accommodate changes as well as to be flexible to meet the current demand. In the United States, homeland security service is just an example of a reform proposal in intelligence service where all the security units are expected to be integrated in order to improve efficiency. Holding the fact that there are possible insecurity elements facing the U.S. citizens, the homeland security stands as a security data source from the ground; hence, creating room for a proper preparation and mitigation process in this subject (Lustbader, 2011). As far as a security is of great concern, the intelligence service agents should be highly intellectual people.Moreover, the government institution should help to upgrade and recruit the new able officers. This will help to reduce inaccuracy as well as to improve the service efficiency. Technology should be used in all service endeavors as the way of taking care of technological climes that create the enormous insecurity risk in the world (Lustbader, 2011).

Challenges While Raising your Child in Malaysia
Settling down in a new country to work and stay which is vastly different from your in terms of language and culture can be a big challenge to most people specially if this is their first overseas visit. The vast differences in culture of Europe and Asia along with varied food habits and languages may be a big challenge for Europeans but the warmth of local people and large number of restaurants offering a variety of cuisine can help them settle down in Malaysia soon. It is generally easier for small children to settle down in a foreign location and start make friends at school than for teenagers. The best option for Europeans trying to live and work in Malaysia with children would be stay close to large cities as they have the best schools and medical facilities where staff can converse in English. The most common challenge that an expatriate may face while raising a young child in Malaysia area:

Statement on the passing of former Washington Governor Albert D. Rosellini
King County Executive Dow Constantine today expressed sadness at the passing of Washington State's 15th governor
King County Executive Dow Constantine today expressed sadness at the passing of Washington State's 15th governor:
It has been an honor to get to know Governor Rosellini over the last couple of decades. He swore me into office when I was first elected to the Washington State Senate, and he has provided humor and wise counsel through the years.
His impact on Washington during a transformative period in our history cannot be underestimated. He was elected governor in 1956, helped the region step onto the world stage through the 1962 Seattle World's Fair, and drove construction of much of our major infrastructure. These were formative years for me, and I will always remember the Governor fondly. Our responsibility is to preserve and renew his generation's legacy.
He was a good Governor, and a good guy, and he will be missed.
Executive Constantine and former Governor Rosellini visiting on September 14 at the Governor's Gerogetown office.
