 This is the sculpter left from the 9/11 is different than when it was at the twin towers. The people of NYC wanted to keep it as it is now.
 Ted is standing in front of a little fire station . It was a block from our hotel. Our guide told us that every firefighter from this station died in the 9/11 attacks on the twin towers. These plaques are in their memory.
This fire station was amoung the first responders. Sad day for NYC and for America. xo

Times Square....

 This is the famous Times Square. Visual advertising over load. I never thought of people always being at Times Sq. This  triangle shaped  section of streets and intersecting streets, is crowded all the time. So it seemed whenever we went there. It was only 1/2 block from our hotel.
 Do you see the roxy sign? This was a deli. It had cheesecakes that looked as if they weight 5 pounds. big cheesecakes with all kinds of yummy toppings. No, I didn't have any.
This is a nice statue of George M. Cohan.  Perfect place for him to be. Near all the theaters.
I would not ever want to drive around this area. Our tour guide told us that more people are injured or killed in traffic than any other means. I think people were walking around as if they were in Disney world, not in streets with moving traffic.

The Barber of Fifth Avenue...

 Here's the barber in the window. He was waving to us. No one is in the chair. I think it looks inviting. I have an uncle who's been a barber for over 40 years and drives a school bus too.
 This is the theater that was just across the street from our hotel in NYC. The Barrymore was showing the musical Chaplin. We stayed at the Edison Hotel. I checked the beds for bugs, and there was no bugs or bug poop. The news told people how to look for the little rust looking spots (poop) or blood spots on the matteress.I even checked the box springs and around the headboards....yes, I know it's gross but you can't be too careful.
Here's the job that amazes me. Window washers. I am sure they see some interesting sights. I am appreciating all the comments about my trip to NYC. Honestly if I had taken all my memory sticks I would have way more photos.:):)

Saint John the Divine....

 This is the Cathedral Chucrh of St. John the Divine. It's at 1047 Amsterdam avenue/112th st. NYC. It is hugh  and old. Such beautiful stone work, inside and out. Full of statues, and carvings.built in 1892. The year Ellis island opened. It is chartered as as a house of prayer for all people and unifying center of intellectual light and leadership. Many faiths worship together in services held 30 times a week. but there was no services going on when we toured the church.
 This beautiful rosette is the 4th largest in America. I do not know where the other three could be.
I am always amazed at the stone carvings of churches. Well old buildings in general. I know there are wonderfully talented people in the world, but I don't know any stone carvers. While we were at the NBC studios, we also walked to Saint Patrick's Cathedral. It was under some construction. Lots of scaffolds in NYC.

Ellis Island....

 This is on Ellis island, where immigrants entered the U.S. till 1954. One lady in our group found her grandfather's name on the Wall of Honor. she knew the date he entered .
 This is the view of NYC , from Ellis island. I think the U.S. park's department takes care of everything . They are in the process of repairing things all the time. I am pretty sure it's lack of funds, that some of the buildings were closed off to the public.
 Over one hundred million Americans had ancestors who came through Ellis Island.
This is the view of Ellis island from my seat on the harbor cruise. It was lightly raining, so I took this photo from the inside. Honestly this is an interesting historical place, Ellis island. Go to visit if you ever get a chance.

Random Photos....

 This is the building where the Jerry Seinfield show's soup Nazi had his shop. Our guide says there was a man, that only sold soup. He wanted to sell as much soup as possible , so you needed to have your mind made up when it was your turn.
 Heading to Macy's. The Macy's that has the parades. There are trees and flower containers along the streets.
 Trump Tower. The man has and does spend money. It's a great building. Not sure if the globe goes with it.
This odd long stretched out statue is Mr. Eiffel. He is holding his little Eiffel tower. I only took this photo because he designed the statue of Liberty  too.There were a few of these little statue, in a row , of other men. But I didn't have time to take photos, as we were headed to the ferry boat. This is on Liberty Island, I never thought of there being trees here, since I had never seen this before.

Prayers and Liberty......

 Maybe we could say a prayer for the people in need, after yesterday chaos at the Empire State building.
 Here is the statue of Liberty as we cruised by in the evening rain, heading out of the harbor. Then as we went to Liberty island to view the statue the next morning. It's a beautiful sight. Ted and I talked with a gentleman in charge of bringing the materials and equipment to the island for all the repairs to the statue. He said the statue's work should be done by the end of this year. So needless to say, we didn't get to go in the statue to walk up the stairs. That was a let down, but I am still very happy to have been right there, walking all the way around the little island. Now I can say that I , the little girl raised on the corner of Mill and Cleveland streets,in Tipton, Indiana, finally got to see The Statue of Liberty . :):):)  oxox

Ted and I walked to the Letterman studio. It was closed on Thursday. We would have loved to had tickets for the show. Dave Letterman is a fellow Hoosier. It was a good walk from our hotel. Two ladies on our tour took one of those bike/rickshaws. The man could not speak very good English and said 3 dollars a block.....then charges them 46 dollars. It was not 12 blocks, no way. They walked back to the hotel. I am thinking they were take in..  The girl in our hotel gift shop said she rode in a cab all the way down town for 17 dollars. We were warned about such things. Live and learn, I guess.

Street Food....

Here's Ted Bear wanting some smelly old meats on a pita. ewweee. I thought this cart with the fruit looked more pleasing. The vender with the meat finally waited on Ted after watching his mouth water for a few minutes. LOL There were sidewalk places to sit and eat. There's plenty of these corner venders to sell food items. I never got to sit in any of the sidewalk places or eat anything I had dreamed of while in NYC. We did have a nice sandwich in Grand Central's the eating on the run thing I did not care for. I want to eat like the French....slowly, with wine and pasteries.:):)

Battery Park.....

 This statue is in Battery park, it represents the huddled masses, I think...not so sure.This is were I saw the most street people or signs of them. You catch the Ferry to Liberty and Ellis Islands here.
 This fountain is in the park also. Lots of kids were playing in it. One little blonde boy actually stripped naked to play in it. The other kids stopped and look at him for a moment , then went about playing again.Too funny.

Wednesday , Was At The Empire State Building....

This is not good photography, it's photos on the run. It rained as we were getting ready to go in the building. You can see forever on the observatory. But it was raining and things became foggy. Now I will tell you going to the observatory gives new meaning to-- packed like sardines. There is not a lot of room up there and people can be rude. Maybe not intentionally, but they should look, then let others get a chance. But I did get a photo of the Chrysler building. Then Ted took a photo of me and I do not know how to turn then . :(:( Oh did I tell you , no one speaks English in NYC?  No one lives there either, it;s all tourists. LOL, just kidding. I love my time there and would love to go back. Maybe in spring or autumn. Oh by the way, once you get to the observatory, it's another 17 dollars to go to the very tip top.

Back Home Again...

The top photo is in the NBC studios, took a tour there on Saturday. The the evening cruise in the harbor was on Wednesday. Rained a  little then. I'll be posting some NYC photos all this week. I have to work today, doing laundry. I will tell you, I checked every bed we were sleeping in for bed bugs(eweee) There were none in our rooms. I have such a fear of them that it's hard for me to travel.  Even when we return home, I leave our bags in the garage and bring in a load of laundry to do at one time, till it's all done. Even the clean clothes that were not worn. Going thru mail, have to get those things done also. I am glad to be home, I truly enjoyed my trip and all our traveling friends. xo

Going On Vacation....

And boy do I need it. I want to soar with this hawk for at least an hour.:):) I absolutely love flying, but this is going to be a travel club bus trip. I like those kinds of trips too...oh heck,I'll just admit it, I love to travel. As long as I don't have to drive interstates anymore, I don't care how I get there.
  This is Ted and I  , about 5 years ago. We cruised out and back into the harbor at New York City. It was a cruise into Nova Scotia out of N.Y.C.  This trip will be touring all the spots of N.Y.  I will get to go to the top of the Empire State building. I have longed to do this since I was a child.:):)
  When I return from vacation, I am going to have a give away for all you wonderful blog friends. xoxo

 There must have been a poker run somewhere near . I took a walk yesterday with my sisters to our park. On our way  many , many motorcycles came through . It was loud, let me tell you. Usually they do what is called a poker run to raise funds for someone in need. I know there was one last year for my daughter, when she was having chemo. It is a wonderful thing that these people do . xo

Today Was So Nice .....

 This is the sky this morning on our way into town. What a wonderful day it is.The temperature's so pleasant.
 This is the sign at the entrance of the market in town. We set up very early this morning. It seems strange to be in town before the businesses are open. I walked around and took lots of photos. Here's a pic of my Teddy Bear. He seems to be enjoying being at the market. Love to meet and talk with new people and old friends. When we return from our vacation, we will be busy making new things for the market. xo

The Rain Is Helping....

The jasmine has had new growth . The hummingbirds love it. The clematis started blooming again . I can only hope the rain comes at closer intervals. As for that ivy, we have to keep it cut back , often. Early this year, the flowers were looking good, but the summer heat has taken it's toll on ours.  I still hope that we can enjoy some of  the late bloomers. :):)

Thursday, August 9, 2012

To Market....

 This is a re-cycled item. Ted is taking it to market on Saturday.  It's the feet cut from our s-i-l's armoire. I said they looked like candle Ted cut and routered some bases of oak and added them to the feet.
Here's the tic-tac-toe and jump games , he also made. Kids like these.  Enjoy this day, we had rain this morning. xo

Container Gardening....

I wish I could say these are mine, but they aren't. While in town I got some pictures of the containers at Hortons. You know where the french flea market took place. They have many more containers and each one is  gorgeous. I don't know how they do, the containers are over flowing. Hope everyone has a great day.  I will be walking in the park with my sister this morning. xo

Something Positive

NOT all my entries are negative
I am trying to look at the brighter side of life
and I owe that to my friend you know who you are

thats not yet the positive entry im talking about

just recently, one of my cousin got married. unexpected and on a foreign land and to a foreigner.
I asked her why and how the hell it happened.
she said you will never know its coming and once its there right in front of you, you just go ahead and grab it.
and its so funny how we were giggling like high school girls when she told me the story behind it.
made me realize that fairy tales still do come true. theres just no happy ending nor sad ending coz it never ends. life is a fairy tale. and its up to you if you want it to be a good story or not.

It also made me remember a few things that I was told when I was a newbie in the game called love...

Things to do to spice up a relationship and how to make it last

Everyday you need to see the little things that your partner do. It could be anything - cooking/preparing lunch for you, givin you a neck rub, or just by saying I love you out of the blue.

Everyday you need to laugh. Not only that it helps the relationship to be healthy it will also make you feel good and young.

Try not to cry when you are fighting. Words will become mumbly and unrecognizable when your sobbing. Fix things up like grown ups all the time.

Find a hobby. Do something that both of you loves to do.

Be spontaneous. Routinary relationship is BORING.

Have some Space. This ofcourse depends on how much time you spend with each other. You have to miss your partner sometimes.

Every year remember why you are in love with your partner and why did you choose him and why he holds that special spot and not anybody else. It could be anything. Is it the way he announce his farts or the way he holds your hand? or could be something deeper.

And of course.. be not just his girlfriend.. but also his best friend.

So there you go. Sounds easy but trust me when theres pain you will forget all about this and that pain will poison you and turn you into something self-destructive.

I do have a "self-destruct" button. I havnt pressed it yet. You wanna know where it is located? =)

11:58 PM

Thats what you get!

hey sherie
you make me want to come out again
well im not gonna use you to hurt anybody today, im just here to say a few words to hurt you even more.
I just want to say something to prove that I am RIGHT all along
so what did you get for letting your heart run wild again?
ahh yes, NOTHING but pain
but dont worry
that makes you human, your weak after all and thats all youll ever gonna get
so to tackle at least a few things that really makes you feel icky are, first and foremost,
the line that you play on your head over and over again - "Im always thinking of you"
oohh yeah, that makes it so disgusting

tell me... why him?

you have forgotten and actually believed some of the stuff that you dont have faith with?
like for example, the distance.
you always tell yourself when someone is not physically there
he is as good as nothing
so why did you forget that?
and the fact that you dont know him that well, this is a first, a major stupidity on your part,
you almost believed that relationship is a good thing. what a crap.
but yeah you thought he is your imaginary guy that came to life but then again you were wrong.
but okay lets give him credit, for his honesty, and yeah he came close.
BUT he JUST came close.

I am also goin to say some positive things
that actually made you open your eyes and see whos been there on your side all along that cares and love you
get into a relationship. youve been single for too long. your best at solving your problem with another problem.
just go and play and have fun

so now, do what you do best. youve been good enough for too long. you know what i mean.

--your darker side

oh wait! you know you dont have any other side than me. so go ahead and throw that wings just use the horns. its more fun and much safer =P

9:21 AM

Funny how quick the milk turns sour

Promises turn to dust

Wedding bells just turn to rust

Trust into mistrust

Lips that promise - fear the worst

Tongue so sharp - the bubble burst

Just into unjust

I hear a funny hesitation

Of a heart that's never really sure

Can't keep on tryin'

If you're looking for more

almost had me thinkin'

Almost convince me

You came real close

So maybe I'll be here

Maybe I'll see you around

A Perfect Wintery Rainy Day with My Daughter

One of the best advantage of working at home is the joy and opportunity to have fun with my daughter.  A very boring and gloomy day turned out to be fun.  My almost 2 1/2 year old Shirin was so happy to pose for mommy for some fun and playful time.
Shirin pretending to call Daddy in the phone.

Green Party is Kicking Ass in Vancouver Centre

There is considerable energy in the strategic voting circles to organize votes against Harper. This (kind of) makes sense (in the short term) because our first past the post electoral system is so antiquated that it will likely elect another minority Conservative government even though most Canadians don’t vote Conservative and a significant number of Canadians do not have anyone in government representing their interests. I’m undecided if it’s a good idea. No one who plots themselves somewhere in the divided centre – left can say it is without its pluses.

California denies legal protections for Pika Published

June 30, 2009 by
Filed under Trail Boss News

Editors note:  For tghose of you that do not know a Pika is a rat, next they will be asking for protection of the California sewer version.

San Francisco (AP) – State wildlife officials have rejected a petition seeking protections for the mountain-dwelling American pika under the California Endangered Species Act.

The California Fish and Game Commission’s decision Wednesday comes after a judge last month ordered the state to reconsider a previous denial.

Researchers at the Center for Biological Diversity argued in their petition that global warming is destroying the habitat of the tiny pika. The pika live in the cooler, upper reaches of California’s Sierra Nevada, and the mountains of 10 other western states.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is also studying whether the pika should be protected by federal law.

The center says it is considering a legal challenge to the state’s decision.

Go Solar

Magen Pool Solar Heating

Magen Pool Solar Heating

Pool solar heating is a great way of increasing your swimming season. Not only is the heat gained from the sun free, but as no electric or fossil fuels are being used, your pool heating system will be eco friendly. solar_panel_diagramSolar heating is a relatively inexpensive and simple method of heating your pool. The water is pumped to the solar panels using your existing pool pump. Once the cool water passes through the solar collectors the water heats up. The warmer water is then redirected to your pool via your inlets.

Where can I place the solar panels?

The solar panels are extremely versatile, and can be placed on tiled roofs, flat roofs on purpose made frames, concrete bases or pergolas. They should be facing as due South as possible. However this is sometimes impossible; so facing the panels in a South Easterly or South Westerly direction is sometimes the only alternative. A good guide is to check the designated area to see how much direct sunlight it attracts. If it receives more than six hours of sun per day the solar system will work efficiently. Other factors to take in to consideration are the length of the pipe run, and how high the water has to be pushed from the pump house to the solar panels. Shipshape undertake an extensive site survey before carrying out any work.

How long will Solar panels extend my swimming season?

A properly installed solar system should increase your swimming time by up to five months. Although factors such as day and night time temperatures, the amount of panels used, pipe run distances etc do play a factor. On average we have found that over the past eight years, our customers have been swimming in pools with a temperature of 26°c plus from approximately mid March to early December. Considering the fact that without any pool heating or a solar blanket, most people will not use their pool until June and stop swimming at around late September. The advantages of pool solar heating are self evident.

solar_panels_fruit_tree solar_panels_in_field solar_panels_in_frames
Above are some typical Solar Panel Installations. The Cost Effective Solution

What is an Automatic Solar Valve?

An Automatic solar valve is an optional device that can be installed to a new or existing solar system. Two thermal probes are fitted; one in the water line before the solar panels, and the other is placed next to the panels themselves. When there is a differential of temperature, i.e. the panel temperature is hotter than the water temperature, the manifold for the solar system automatically opens. When the differential is reversed the valve switches off. With this system you can even pre-set the desired pool temperature, and the efficiency of the system is greatly improved. For example; during heavy cloud cover or cold conditions the panels will not operate. If they did they would actually cool the pool down.

How good are our solar panels?

Shipshape have been importing Helicol Solar Panels for the past eight years. Heliocol have been the choice of pool heating at both the Atlanta and Athens Olympic games and are also used in huge factory installations in Mexico to pre heat water. Thousands of these panels are also installed throughout the USA and Europe every year to heat domestic pools, and with the nine year factory guarantee we believe that they are the best choice of solar heating for your pool.

Hanging on in there

Thank you so much for your good wishes. I'm not very good at enforced idleness, and the worst thing about this sort of bug is that you don't feel like doing ANYTHING. However, I've been reading, watching TV, doing a bit of knitting and even managing to do some painting on the other monoprints. I don't think these will look as good as the first one, as some have a lot more dye and less white space to fill, but I'm going to complete them anyway.
Also I've rethought the Naked Men a couple of times, and at last I'm pinning down how to finish these. I've always wanted to call this set "Comfortably Numb" after the Pink Floyd song - maybe it's the rhyming of "numb" and "bum" here? I'm not sure. Anyway, I've printed some of the lyrics onto 3 of the pieces, in a light grey as a shadow and then again in a darker grey. You'll need to click on the photo for a closer look - I intend that the words are soft and in the background so they don't show up sharply.

So now I think I'll just do some minimal quilting and complete this. Not today though - it's over 30 degrees Celsius today and far too hot to be upstairs even now, approaching 6pm. Another day.

MargaretR said...

I'm so sorry you are feeling poorly Shirley. But after seeing today's post there's hope for you yet!
I've always loved your naked men and I look forward to seeing them used. The work on the top is lovely. what is the technique you used there?

Diane D. said...

Shirley, I really like how the words are so subtle - it keeps the focus on the men but adds nice texture.

Ali Honey said...

Do be careful where you put the pins!

Autumn Moon said...

I think the naked men would look great done up as panels in a vest.

Sheila said...

Comfortably numb.....hmmmmm. Good name. Do you think the model was comfortably numb or maybe a little chilly. :)

Is it time to make a change in your life?

Why keep your life on hold?
Many people plod unhappily through life suffering conditions such as anxieties, phobias, eating disorders, the list is endless. Sometimes suffering to the extent that they feel they are just existing. Always promising themselves they will do something about it later….. when they get time ……and meanwhile their quality of life is deteriorating.

Is this YOU?
Why not act now and get your life back?

Call now on 07785505310 and find out more about how I can help

Remaining calm and dealing with stress

Although a little bit of stress is important, e.g. it helps us get out of bed in the morning but too much is not good.

Too much stress accounts for so many of the physical and psychological problems people face today.

When a healthy strain becomes an unhealthy stress we begin to find it hard to think clearly and to focus on the things we once found easy.

Learn to turn stress into a positive force and you can use this energy for the good.

Low mood and depression therapy.

Life events can cause our mood to change, often decreasing motivation, self esteem and self worth.

Hypnotherapy and NLP might help you to get back on track

If you think you have depression or a psychological disorder you should always discuss this with your doctor in the first instance.

Become your perfect weight

There are many reasons why people are overweight.  There may be subconscious  messages from childhood to ‘clear the plate’ (even when not hungry). These messages remain with you  into adulthood. There may be many underlying emotions and outdated messages that linger in you subconscious mind, messages that are no longer relevant or helpful  to you in your life now.

It is also recognised that STRESS is a major player in people who struggle with their weight. dealing with stress is a major factor in helping you, not just with your weight but with you general well-being, health and happiness.

Years of being overweight can lead to a myriad of health problems and low self esteem.

Hypnotherapy & NLP has been used for many years to assist with changing negative responses and emotional eating patterns.

There are many techniques that I can teach clients to manage cravings and other negative feelings. Techniques such as Emotional Freedom Technique (some times know as EFT or Tapping)

Additionally, with the advent of a hypnotic gastric band we aim to convince the subconscious mind that a real gastric band has been fitted to give the feeling of fullness and satisfaction.

If you have an eating disorder such as anorexia or bulimia and would like to have therapy it is advisable to discuss your intentions with your doctor in the first instance.

Facing your fears.

It is normal to feel fear and anxiety when presented with a real threat to life. A phobia however, is an irrational over reaction to something that may pose no real threat at all e.g bird, dogs, cotton wool, spiders the list is endless.

There are lots of different reasons as to why and how phobias develop and you may have no idea how it started or even remember when.

Phobias can be ‘simple’ and might be helped in as few as three to six session or they may be ‘complex’ and this may require longer term work.

Some people wake every morning with feelings of anxiety and they are unable to identify a cause. Some people suddenly start to feel anxious and have no idea why. This is because the cause of the anxiety is outside of their conscious level of awareness. Hypnotherapy can be used as an endeavour to uncover the unconscious causative factors and bring about a resolution or help you to view things in a different way.

Pain management techniques.

Chronic pain is debilitating, may lead to depression. Side effects of medication may be unpleasant. Some pain may not readily respond to conventional medication and this is where hypnotherapy may help.

Factors affecting the chronic pain sufferer can result in time lost from work, negative impact on social and family life and feelings of isolation.

Hypnotherapy may be able to help you to cope better with painful symptoms.

If you wish to use hypnotherapy to help manage pain then in the first instance it is very important that you have had your pain investigated by a doctor.  You must also discuss your desire to try hypnotherapy with the doctor.

Motivate your way to success.

“If you always do what you’ve always done, you’ll always get what you’ve always got”- This is a NLP presupposition

Have you ever caught yourself saying negative things like “I can’t do this” or “everything always goes wrong for me”.  Neuro Linguistic Programming  can be used to help you to change the patterns of your internal dialogue, so that you may focus instead, on what can go well, rather than focusing on what can go wrong. Simply by changing this perspective can change your feelings about something and produce very beneficial side effects.

When you start to speak differently to yourself you may be surprised just how much this could improve your motivation.

Improve your self-esteem

Many people go through life with fragile self esteem that ebbs away easily at the slightest challenge and for others losing confidence and self esteem can be a crushing experience.

Increasing self esteem and confidence helps in all sorts of situations whether at work, making presentations, public speaking, standing up for yourself and generally feeling good.

When your self esteem is good, your communications improve and the feedback from others is more positive. This then feeds into yourself belief system, increasing your self-worth.

Using a combination of Hypnotherapy and powerful NLP techniques may help you.

Giving up smoking?

Despite greater understanding over the years, smoking still continues to contribute to major ill health problems.

If you really want to quit, hypnotherapy may be for you but you must really want this change from the outset.

The important thing about stopping smoking is that the smoker has really got to be ready to stop. The desire to stop has to arise from within the smoker themselves.

Random thoughts: money and news

I have always been skeptical about analyst reports. Don't get me wrong, analyst reports are useful, and there are many with a lot of details and insights, but that is where the use end, one shouldn't read further into the buy or sell call or their target prices.

We need to understand that not all analyst reports are self-initiated, some are paid to do the reports.

I was rather surprised with the money section of today ST. There is only 2 articles on properties, whereas it is usually dominated by property news. It is not hard to see why. Singaporeans at large are attuned to property investing rather than companies investing. Many will think of property investment as a foolproof investment whereas if u mention stocks, they will either think of u as a guru or a gambler. ( this is my gut feel when communicating with many colleagues am friends, only 2-4 can exchange pointers on equity investing, but the "whole world" can talk about property investing. I wonder the taper off property news got anything to do with property cooling.

I read an article on a senior executive of bloomberg asking the journalists in china to focus on financial news and not others, as investigating journalism might not be useful in terms of generating sales on its terminal. They have previously run a article on how rich xi jinping is. Shortly after, there is a directive to state enterprise to stop subscribing to bloomberg terminals.

So, when I read, I always have the question: is this what they want us to know, or is this what happen?

But am I advocate total freedom of speech? No. Taiwan news is too dividing and sensational, US cannot stop snowden unless he stop his own leaks.

We just have to be more discerning, and encourage others to be critical thinker too. Be critical in our thinking, but not on people, we always tend to overshoot in our critiques of establishment, sometime to the extend of being unfair.

  1. Properties won't crash to zero so most people will prefer them for long-term investment

  2. Hi CW,

    There is no denying of property investment merits, especially in land scarce Singapore.

    However, many think property prices can only go up. I am not talking about the long term, but ppl who are anxious to get in regardless of price. I told property prices will correct, there might not be a crash, I am not sure if the correction is steep, but maybe if u are looking for gains, it is highly risky in the short term. Many look at me in disbelief.

    Many also forgot property investing is a leverage investing, without deep pockets and getting in at the wrong cycle can be quite painful.

  3. My beloved article on property.

    Retrenchment or business failure can happen to anyone.

    Read? debt-free — and that, to me, is richness enough

  4. Hi SI,

    Are more colleagues and friends talking about entering the stock market now?

  5. Nice article, thank you for
    Sharing it.

    My hDB is not paid up yet. I am quite sure I am a poor man in and out. But I have quite a big buffer in terms if CPF monies if one day I am really out of job.

  6. I dun usually start conversation on stocks unless I know one is also a fellow investor.

    Most serious investors are
    Like that too, I think. My colleague and friends never talk about stocks, even during the bull leading to 2008.

    Yes if you can afford to be debt free (except if you are into active business) not only you find you can sleep soundly at night but also you see you accumulate your wealth faster. Believe me i am an old man who has been taking this route.
    Sad to say, i doubt your generation can be debt free. A HDB flat will ensure you are in debt for 20 to 25 years. Sad.

Buying a Second Home in Hampton Roads This Fall

Fall can be the ideal time to buy a second home in Hampton Roads. Most vacationers have gone, and some owners of vacation homes have listed their homes for sale. As the weather cools down, second home sales can heat up for buyers looking for deals.

Uses for a second home include:

  • Vacations. Getaways and vacations can be some of the most popular, not to mention enjoyable, ways to spend time in a second home. Hampton Roads offers locales like the beach, bay, river, lake, meadows and woods for these types of homes. These properties can even be decorated with brighter, bolder colors since owners won't have to live with their choices full-time.
  • Income opportunity. Some folks may want to begin their real estate portfolios by picking up a second home in southeast Virginia. Long-term or short-term rentals can provide steady cash-flow for those who buy correctly.
  • Long-term investment. Maybe you see a must-have property, but you're not sure what to do with it. This scenario could be like the perfect long-term investment. You may use it temporarily for a vacation home, then rent it out and sell it for a profit down the road.
  • Pied-à-terre. Hampton Roads is an area with many thriving businesses, and with those businesses come business people. Buying a pied-à-terre gives owners the ability to have a small place of their own close to work without having to drive or fly back home after working all day.

Whatever your reason for buying a second home in Hampton Roads, fall can be the right time to buy!

PluginPub - Publish your PhoneGap plugins to NPM

I was inspired by Sindre Sorhus package np which makes publishing a package to npm easy by running the following tasks automatically for you:

  • Ensures you are publishing from the master branch
  • Ensures the working directory is clean and that there are no unpulled changes
  • Reinstalls dependencies to ensure your project works with the latest dependency tree
  • Runs the tests
  • Bumps the version in package.json and npm-shrinkwrap.json (if present) and creates a git tag
  • Publishes the new version to npm, optionally under a dist-tag
  • Pushes commits and tags to GitHub
Now I'm in favour of anything that makes my life easier so I decided to take np and enhance it with some tasks I routinely do when publishing new plugins. My first pass at it is a new package called pluginpub which is a copy of np that I eventually hope to change to depend on np instead.

The main difference is that it:

  • Bumps the version in plugin.xml, package.json and npm-shrinkwrap.json (if present) and creates a git tag
It now automates a lot of stuff I used to do manually into a single command. Installation is simple, you run:

npm install pluginpub --save-dev
In the root of your plugin repo. Then to release a new version of the plugin you would execute the command from the root of your plugin repo:

pluginpub 1.5.8
The command takes only one argument and that is the version of the plugin. If you don't pass in a valid semver then the command will fail.

Anyway, it make or may not be of use to you. Feel free to try it out and report any issues on the github page. Next steps are publishing a proper README and adding the auto-generation of a CHANGELOG file which is another manual step I hate doing when releasing a plugin.

Using ES2015 Code in Your PhoneGap Plugins

Everyone loves the new hotness of ES2015 features but sadly not all of the devices your app is going to run on are able to take advantage of all the features of ES2015. Luckily we can use Babel to transpile our ES2015 code into ES5 code that will run everywhere. This way we can write our plugin's JS using the new hotness but still run everywhere.

I've started working on a version of the PhoneGap Push Plugin in the es6 branch that uses ES2015 and what follows is a description of how I set it up.

Step 1: Add the necessary packages to package.json

We need to add Babel to our package.json so open the file and add the following lines.

  "devDependencies": {
    "babel-cli": "^6.10.1",
    "babel-core": "^6.10.4",
    "babel-preset-es2015": "^6.9.0"
Then run the command:

npm install

Step 2: Create a .babelrc file

We'll have to tell babel how we want the code transpiled from ES2015 to ES5. So create a new file called .babelrc in the root of your plugin project and populate it with the following lines:

  "presets": [

Step 3: Write your ES2015 code

I like to add a new directory under the src folder called src/js. It is in this folder that I like to keep my ES2015 compliant code.

Step 4: Transpile your code

Once your ES2015 code is written it is time to transpile it to ES2015 so you can publish to NPM and Github. For this open package.json and add a new line to the scripts section:

  "scripts": {
    "build": "babel src/js --out-dir www",
Now if you run the command:

npm run build
You will find your transpiled code in the www folder of your plugin.

Step 5: Link to the ES5 code in plugin.xml

It is key that you don't actually deliver the ES2015 code as part of the plugin as you want to make sure your users are executing the ES5 version. To do that open plugin.xml and make sure that your js-module tag refers to code in the www directory like:

<js-module name="PushNotification" src="www/push.js">
  <clobbers target="PushNotification">
and not:
<js-module name="PushNotification" src="js/src/push.js">
  <clobbers target="PushNotification">
Bonus Material

If you are anything like me, writing ES2015 code is not quite second nature yet. In order to help me along I setup my project to be linted automatically.

Step 1: Add the necessary packages to package.json

We need to add ESLint to our package.json so open the file and add the following lines.

  "devDependencies": {
    "babel-eslint": "^6.1.0",
    "eslint": "^2.13.1",
    "eslint-config-airbnb": "^9.0.1",
    "eslint-plugin-import": "^1.9.2",
    "eslint-plugin-jsx-a11y": "^1.5.3",
    "eslint-plugin-react": "^5.2.2"
Then run the command:

npm install

Step 2: Create a .eslintrc file

We'll have to tell ESLint how we want the code linted. So create a new file called .eslintrc in the root of your plugin project and populate it with the following lines:

  "extends": "airbnb",
  "parser": "babel-eslint",
  "ecmaFeatures": {
    "experimentalObjectRestSpread": true
  "rules": {
    "spaced-comment": 0,
    "no-console": 0,
    "no-unused-expressions": [2, { "allowShortCircuit": true }]
  "env": {
      "node": true,
      "mocha": true,
      "browser": true
Step 3: Setup Your Editor

Not sure what editor you are using to write JS but I'm using Atom at the moment so I have installed the linter-eslint package which automatically picks up my .eslintrc file and lints my code on the fly.

Happy ES2015 coding everyone!

Apps Crashing with phonegap-plugin-push and Google Play Services 9.0.0

Late last week Google pushed a new version of Google Play Services out to phones and since them some users of the phonegap-plugin-push have been seeing crashes in their app. The stack trace for that crash looks like this:

05-22 16:21:42.868 10979 11117 E AndroidRuntime: java.lang.IncompatibleClassChangeError: The method '' was expected to be of type virtual but instead was found to be of type direct (declaration of '' appears in /data/app/io.cordova.hellocordova-1/base.apk)

05-22 16:21:42.882  5060  6828 W ActivityManager:   Force finishing activity io.cordova.hellocordova/.MainActivity
The crash is being cause because of a incompatibility between the newly released Google Play Services and Android Support Library v4. The phonegap-plugin-push does not use Android Support Library v4 but another plugin in your app may. You can check by doing:
grep -r plugins
To see which other plugin is using Android Support Library v4. Removing that plugin, recompile and reinstall the application fixes the problem. Obviously this is not a desired or long term fix. Trying to figure out a way to prevent this but I fear we will require a new version of Android Support Library v4 from Google.

Subscribe to the Issue #909 on the plugin's repo for more info and updates.

Cordova Magic Commands

I was inspired by the following tweet:

conjure = cordova create $1 $2 $3 ; cd $1
summon = cordova platform add $1
banish = cordova platform rm $1
enchant = cordova plugin add $1
curse = cordova plugin rm $1
mix = cordova build $1
cast = cordova run $1
spells = cordova platforms ; cordova plugins

You can see the commands in action in this terminal session recording:

To create my own set of magic commands for Cordova. You can grab the additions I put into my .bash_profile file from this gist.
There is no real good reason for this other than I giggle to myself everytime I enchant or curse a plugin.

PhoneGap-Plugin-Push Version 1.4.0 Has Been Released

The latest release of the PushPlugin is now available on npm. This release is the long awaited release that is fully tested with iOS9. I was able to test on an iPhone 6+ running iOS 8.4.1, iPod Touch running iOS 9.0.2 and an iPad Air 2 running iOS 9.1.0. Please let me know if you run into any problems with this release.

On Android the switch over to using Gradle is now complete. The deprecated gcm.jar has been removed from the plugin and replaced with the Google Play Services GCM framework. Even better news is that PhoneGap Build now supports Gradle builds.

The big feature that people have been clamoring for is background or silent notifications. It is now possible for your 'notification' event handler to run when you app is in the background on iOS and Android (support for Windows coming soon).

PhoneGap-Plugin-Push Version 1.3.0 Has Been Released

The latest release of the PushPlugin is now available on npm. This release switches the plugin over to using Gradle to include the Android Support Framework jar instead of it being included in the plugin. This should fix the issue where this plugin would conflict with others, like the Facebook plugin when building. Just make sure you have version 23 or later of the Android Support Library which can be installed from the Android SDK Manager.

Unfortunately, PhoneGap Build does not yet support Gradle so if you are using this plugin with PhoneGap Build you will need to use version 1.2.3 or earlier for the time being.

I know last time I said I would be making sure that iOS9 works with version 1.3.0 but I wanted to get that Gradle change out as quick as I could. Next release 1.4.0 will be full tested with iOS9 and I won't wait a full month, I'll release it just as soon as it's tested.

Full Change Log

1.3.0 (2015-09-21)

Implemented enhancements:
  • How to use GCM 3.0 with this plugin? #127
  • Android: possibility to send a notification with a title and without message #122
  • Enhancement - Led, Vibration Pattern, Priority on Android #105
Fixed bugs:
  • It is using in gcm data.additionalData ? #126
  • iOS notification from cold boot #117
  • Notification LED is not working #97
Closed issues:
  • Know which version is used in build service #151
  • Registration is not working in IOS9 #150
  • build fail on android #149

Everybody's a Writer - But Some Actually Are

As I fancy myself a bit of a scribe, of a sort, I admire those who pick up their pens and write, certainly when they claim to be writers; and claim they do when there's a cute guy or girl they're trying to impress on that first meeting.

I'm a writer.

Suure you are....

(In my experience, or observations, it's generally a case of HIM to HER. And HER usually doesn't believe HIM. For good reason.)

At any rate.

A friend of mine -- someone I get together with every couple of months or so to talk movies and books -- studied English Literature at the University of Toronto. Not only is he a graduate, but he keeps his pencils sharp for the next time, which seems to be a lot of the time.

Here is James Guthrie's writing website. As the waitress or waiter says to me when they finish delivering that SuperSize plate of poutine: Enjoy!

A day at the beach looking for treasures is a day well spent, to some of us.

Our first treasure seeker looks to be covering a very small territory, or is he resting? There is a lot of beach to cover...

Another seeker is a fast walker and way ahead of the group.

Now here are two serious beachcombers and it looks as though he has made a discovery. I wonder what color seaglass, maybe amber?

This seeker, which just happens to be me, is looking for red seaglass as I found one here in the spring. If there is one, surely there must be another.

Ah, here comes the cute guy with the chairs. It must be snack time. A picnic on the beach is always a good thing.

See all those smiles. That is what a day on the beach will do for you.

Beachcombing is a wonderfully mindless experience - total relaxation.

It's a simple life and it's our life.

In June I went to see the musical Wicked with some family. Yes, I'm a big nerd and I love musicals. (Except the Mamma Mia DVD... UGH kill me).

You may recall I went to see The Lion King last year with my friend Nick, so I was stoked to see this one.

My parents had seen it previously in New York, and my cousin has seen it 3 times, so I figured I wouldn't be dissapointed, and I wasn't.

The storyline is about the Wicked Witch from The Wizard of Oz... but it focuses on her gorwing up and how she became how she is. It really gives you a different perspective on the whole thing. (Not that you'd thought so hard about the subject before.)

I won't give it all away, but I definitely recommend it. Next stop... Beauty and the Beast if anyone wants to go!

Conquering one fear at a time

So this week wasn't so eventful, but Sister Gasu and I always seem to find super interesting things. I saw naked man #2 this week. Public announcement: if you're not dressed...DON'T OPEN THE DOOR. Please and thank you.
We picked up a new investigator Emily! She is so amazing and spunky. We taught her about the restoration and read 3 Nephi 11 with her. She teared up and told us how profound and wonderful that chapter was. Needless to say, we have a return appointment with her this weekend, and I am beyond excited! We also picked up another investigator, Javier! He's super super awesome and Hispanic. I love the Mexicans, but they always feed us so much food. Even if we're just over for a visit..always feeding us.
We met our new mission president this past Wednesday, and we had FHA (family home afternoon). Our new mission president is pretty cool. He's from Ephraim, Utah. We played games at FHA as a zone and it was so much fun! I've never had this much fun with missionaries that sad to say?
This morning we cleaned the temple, and it was so amazing and spiritual. You wouldn't think that you could feel the spirit while you cleaned the temple, but you definitely could.
Today our pday is stinky. We have pday until 2, then we work from 2-5, then we have to be in by 6. So..ENJOY THE 4TH OF JULY FOR  ME!
We were at a members house and they told me this super "funny" joke: "If you marry someone in Mississippi, and divorce him in he still your brother?"
Have an amazing week everyone! Remember "there is nothing good unless you do it." ❤

1,2,&3. So what no one really knows is that I'm DEATHLY afraid of birds, and what better place to conquer your fears than on your mission.
4&5. What happens when you give your camera to the ZL's to take a zone selfie.

outdoor tanning lotions

What to look for when buying a tanning lotion so your skin doesn’t get damaged

Summer is a great season with plenty of fun activities to do. However, the scorching sun during summer season has a negative effect on your skin. It is therefore very important to ensure that your skin is well protected when under the sun. That is why it is very important to choose the best outdoor tanning lotions to protect your skin. In this article, we are going to give you tips on what to look for when buying a tanning lotion so that your skin does not get damaged.

  1. Consider your skin tone

outdoor tanning lotionsOne very important factor that you need to consider when choosing outdoor tanning lotions is your skin tone. For instance, if you have darker skin, then you should choose a lighter outdoor tanning lotion that allows more UV to light you this will help prevent your skin from drying. On the other hand, if you have the light skin tone, then you should use outdoor tanning lotions that have higher SPF. This will not only help to protect your skin from sunburns but you will also protect your skin from getting damaged by UV exposure. Sunburns and repeated exposure to UV can cause premature aging as well as increase your chances of getting skin cancer. It is therefore very important to choose outdoor tanning lotion that suits your skin tone.

  1. Ensure that it contains sunscreen

When choosing outdoor tanning lotions, it is very important to use those that contain sunscreen. Sunscreens will not only help to block overexposure of your skin to the sun but will help to prevent cancer-causing UV rays, premature aging, and sunburns.

  1. Consider your skin type

You should also consider your skin type when searching for the right outdoor tanning lotions. For instance, if your skin type is dry, then you should use an outdoor tanning lotion that has a moisturizer to help add protection as well as keep your skin healthy when exposed to the sun.

  1. Consider ingredients used

This is a very important factor that many people usually overlook. The ingredient that an outdoor tanning lotion contains will determine its effectiveness. If you want to get maximum benefit from the lotion that you buy, then it is very important to check if the ingredients used are natural and clinically proven to be effective. Some outdoor tanning lotions contain dangerous chemicals that can cause more harm than good to your skin. The ingredients used should be natural and clinically proven to be effective.

#freebie Back2School Photoshop Class...First Day PPT!

I'm about to head home for the day, but I spent a good while working on a first day PowerPoint for Photoshop class (and I tend to overplan, so the character quiz might go to day 2).

Many sources say that the first day should be interesting and provide a hook to want them to come back. And, they should learn a little about the class, but not heavy on rules and procedures. So, I begin with a "need to know" PowerPoint (which I am not including here) that takes a few minutes in each class. Then, we dive into deciding if this class is a match for them or not and answering the most common questions.

Thus, this Powerpoint (feel free to download if you teach a graphics class).  I start with a fun game of "Photoshop or Nah." They will find a partner during a short game show musical interlude and then each group will be given a paddle with yes on one side and no on the other. I have a few "before" and "after" Photoshop images (well, some aren't Photoshopped) to show them. They will collectively decide whether they think it is or not and then I'll ask for answers all at the same time and reveal the truth.

Next, I go over the reasons you should or should not take my class (good thing I'm an elective, huh?). I hit a few important details (required SD card, grading schema, common questions) as well.

Then, I dive into showing examples of work from previous years and talk about some projects briefly. Projects vary from semester to semester, of course.

Lastly, if there is time, we do a "Cartoon Character" game where they each write down answers to a 10 question quiz and figure out which character they are. Then, they will write their name on a big poster I have under the character they are!

Hey, that's a fun first day, right!? :) Let's hope. Of course, that's just Photoshop. Three more classes to prepare.... but going home!

Framework agnostic for the win

We all have our favourite frameworks and tools, and naturally we tend to participate largely within those communities. However, we may be missing some opportunities for cross-pollination of ideas within the larger PHP ecosystem. In this talk I'll show you why The PHP League has made it their mission to write framework agnostic code. Here's a hint: Thanks to the PHP-FIG and Composer, packages are becoming the glue that binds the various PHP communities together. Come learn why everyone wins with framework agnostic code!

A devil lizard is a bipedal reptilian creature that stands about five-feet tall and weighs around 2200 pounds. Its clawed digits sport sharp talons and a row of spines rises from the top of its head down to the middle of its back. Its mottled scaley skin is dark green tufts of blood red or crimson feathers emerging from its shoulders and down its back.

Devil lizards have a reputation for being difficult to kill without using arcane or occult methods and the superstitions vary toward the details of how exactly to prevent one from coming back to life. As such, it is a taboo to eat one, lest its dead flesh regenerate inside your gullet, and the beast tear its way out of your insides. Devil lizards are also very fast.

The pirates of al-Khaimah report seeing the occasional devil lizard that could also breathe fire.

Today, our Associate Director, Troy Wathen has something inspiring to share!

The beauty of a layered approach to teaching history and literature is that the students can always be counted on to surprise the teacher with what they learned in years prior.

Last week we began our study of William Shakespeare so I broke out my trusty Lambs Book of Shakespeare Stories to read the tale of Hamlet to my students. As I was reading, my students periodically interjected with some bit of detail regarding the play. One student said, “Everyone is going to die.” Another followed up with, “That’s because this is a tragedy.” Little comments like these continued throughout the reading, but what was most encouraging to me was when the Lambs (authors of this abridged story) told of Hamlet’s struggle with existence and quoted, “To be or not to be,” I heard my students mumbling, “that is the question. Whether ‘tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune or to take arms against a sea of troubles, and by opposing end them?...” You get the picture. The students who had been at SLO Classical Academy the previous year had memorized a long portion of Hamlet’s speech—much longer than the short phrase we all know.

This reminded me of how important memorization and recitation are in the grammar stage of learning. This speech stuck with my students for a year and will likely stay with them a lifetime because it was memorized in the years before memorization ceases to be cool and way before the calcification of the brain that we adults experience. Because these students have stored this moving speech, and similar speeches and poems away in their minds, they will be able to pull ideas and use them in compositions and speeches in the future. The grammar of good rhetoric is the storing away of meaningful quotes and phrases to later be used in the midst of a well-crafted essay or college application letter. SLO Classical Academy students are being prepared for the “real” world by being equipped with excellent rhetorical skills starting with kindergarten recitations.

Speaking of kindergarten recitations...Recitation Night is coming! Students in our Kindergarten and Primary classes will be reciting poems of their choosing in front of an audience of friends and families.  For many, public speaking is the least desirable activity so it is a rich evening watching students conquer their nervousness and publicly recite poetry. What's more, as evidenced by Troy's experience, the poetry they memorize now will become woven into the fabric of their souls, to be drawn upon later.  Aren't we so fortunate to be intimately involved in that process?  Instead of viewing recitation as another "have-to," let's pass on to our children the beauty of the written and spoken word.  Embrace it,  have fun with it, maybe pick a poem yourself to memorize.

Poetry is a packsack of invisible keepsakes.  ~Carl Sandburg

ES Fighting EUR Upswing (by Springheel Jack)

By -

There was a simply amazing move up in EURUSD yesterday and I think that
it is now highly likely that it will make my target in the 1.28 area in
the next two or three weeks. On the 60min chart EURUSD is moving up
within a rising wedge:

The target in the 1.28 area is to hit the upper trendline of the
broadening descending wedge on the daily chart which has defined the
EURUSD decline over the last seven months:

100702 EURUSD_Daily_BD_Wedge

In my view the main reason that ES has been struggling to make headway
on the downside in the last few weeks is that EURUSD has been in an
upswing phase, and USD therefore in a retracement phase, and that
equities move downwards fastest when USD is in a wave up.

In December, when the SPX was still in a strong uptrend, it would trade
sideways to up when USD was in a wave up, and move up strongly when the
USD was trending down. What we've been seeing the last few weeks has
been the reverse of that, with the SPX in a strong downtrend, and moving
downwards strongly when USD has been in a wave up, and trading sideways
to down when USD has been retracing. We've seen some impressive moves
since the last interim bottom on EURUSD in the 118.75 area, but have
dropped, at the end of the day, only 20 points on SPX as I write. By the
time EURUSD hits the upper wedge trendline SPX will probably be 20 to
40 points above where we were when EURUSD bottomed.

In terms of the current move down on ES, we are in a declining channel
on the daily chart, though there have been some major intraday
pinocchios through the lower trerndline of the channel, and I posted
yesterday morning that I didn't think we would see the next interim low
until the lower trendline of that channel was hit. We hit it during the
day yesterday so from that perspective the interim low may already be

I was expecting a hit at the 990 ES level to be the next interim low
today or next Tuesday, but as the bottom of the main declining channel
has already been hit that may not happen. In the shorter term the ES is
also in a smaller declining channel, though it is possible that it is a
falling wedge that we are already breaking up from. If it is a channel
then ES has been crawling down the upper trendline overnight, and an
hourly close at 1025 ES or higher would be a break up from that channel.
IF ES trades that high then the interim low is probably in and the
upswing target will be the upper trendline of the main ES declining
channel in the 1070 – 1090 area.

Here's the shorter term declining channel on the ES 60min chart:

So what I'm seeing is essentially this:

  • EURUSD rallying towards 1.28.
  • ES has made an interim low yesterday or will make a slightly lower
    low in the next two or three trading days.
  • After the ES interim low is in then we should rally back towards the
    1070 – 1090 area.
  • After EURUSD hits 1.28 and ES hits the top of the main declining
    channel, then USD should start another strong wave up and ES should
    start another strong wave down. Both moves will be fast and strong as
    they will not be fighting each other. My EURUSD target for the next wave
    down is under 1.10 and my SPX target is 870.

There is one major caveat of course as EURUSD could hit the top
trendline of the broadening descending wedge at 1.28 and just go through
it. That seems unlikely to me at the moment as both the ES and EURUSD
downtrends look unfinished, but if that did happen then my bear scenario
for the summer might well then not happen. We'll find out when we get

I'm out for the whole trading day today. Have a great holiday weekend

There are a lot of great charts floating around in the comment

I am having a fantastic day so far. Just DYNAMITE! I've got to tell you, I saw a lot of comments like this on the blog last night, and frankly it made me more comfortable in my bearish stance:

It's weird how total strangers to Slope who never post show up like this and declare absolutes. And viscous – – how could you?!?!?!? Between you and nummy, I really wonder if you're bears or not.

Anyway, my portfolio remains 100% short and I am 142% committed (on a cash basis). This is the most short I have ever been, ever. One of the new shorts is IYR, which has broken yet another ascending trendline:

I have decided to stay here at Starbucks through the close. Go get 'em bears!

Is Rachel Ray a Terrorist?

The LA Times reports "It's a slow news day when conservatives attack Rachael Ray for wearing a kaffiyeh-style scarf in a Dunkin' Donuts ad," resulting in Dunkin' pulling their ad. Fox News commentator Michelle Malkin is an idiot for saying: "The kaffiyeh, for the clueless, is the traditional scarf of Arab men that has come to symbolize murderous Palestinian jihad." Way to fan the flames of intolerance there, Ms. Stupid Face. And Dunkin', come on, grow some balls.

Now while Rachel may terrorize the airwaves and bookstores with her brand of happy drunk cooking (I love it when you can tell she's nipped a little too many times at the wine on 30 Minute Meals) what is the real threat here? Her fashion sense? Or could it be that Malken knows that Rachel has a recipe for an Ice Cream Bomb that's set to go off at any moment.

ps: Ummmmmmmm, what's wrong with this photo?

Apparently this was the most popular story of the day on USA TODAY, CBS and Fox News (according to Fishbowl DC). No wonder I'm having trouble booking today. Who cares about terrorism when there are people traipsing around with terroristy scarves?

Exactly! Why can't the Palestinians be left to kill Jews in peace!
