52 weeks to simplify your life

I was catching up on a few blogs this morning when I came accross Home Life Simplified.  Here there is a challenge just started up... 52 weeks to simplify your life.

Now I don't think my life is particularly complicated, nor do I see myself as a negative person (anymore).  Scrapbooking has been a large part in helping me see the positives in my life and will always play a role in keeping me positive.  This challenge I think will compliment my crafting well and perhaps keep me on track when I am too busy or tired to do any scrapbooking.  It is up to Week 2, so I thought I might do Week 1 today and then in a day or so look at Week 2.  Then I will be up to date :-)

Week #1 Challenge: Create a list of everything that went “right” in 2011

I think 2011 was such a positive year for me and my family.  Darren and I seemed to be on the same page most of the year.  We had a few BIG barneys, but we seem to be able to talk through them better and listen to what the other person is saying a better too.  I think we both agree too that for a marriage to work both of us have to work at it and both of us need to make comprimises and sacrifices for the marriage and our relationship.  Not everyone agrees with me on this one... but Darren does so that's the main thing.  Towards the beginning of the year Darren was not a happy chappy.  He was not happy in his work place and felt he was being taken advantage of.  He would bring it home and it did not make for a happy homelife.  We eventually worked things out (after a massive argument) and he really did make a concious effort not to be unhappy at home, just because he was at work.  I am so proud of him for that, because I know how hard it is to do.  As the year went on his work finally signed him out (mature age apprenticeship) and he seemed to be much more content with work... at least he was being paid for what he was doing and had been doing for pretty much his entire apprenticeship.  This post is becoming rather long so I might just do the rest in point form
  • The two boys enjoyed one day a week in daycare and this made my life just that little bit easier.  It gave me that little bit of time to get things done, relax and catch up on sleep from my late night shifts.
  • Through daycare, kinder, speech and occupational therapy Evan has made AMAZING progress and is now ready to start school.  He is an exceptional little boy and I have completely embraced his diagnosis of Autism... there are so many things about Evan that make him special... Autism is a part of who he is and I certainly wouldn't want to change a thing about him.We finally updated Darrens tired old van to a lovely brand spanking new Holden Colorado.  Darren always says "good things come to those who wait"... drives me insane sometimes when he says this... but his right.  We have both been working hard, watching what we spend and saving when we can since we married... and now we are starting to see "the light at the end of the tunnel"... another one of Darrens favourite sayings.  But it's true... financially we really are getting to where we want to be...
  • Royce is my cheeky little monkey who can make me smile when no one else can :-)  It's so hard to be angry with him (sometimes I have put on my angry mothers face when I'm pissing myself laughing on the inside) and impossible to stay angry with him for long.
  • This last point leads me to probably my final point... otherwise I may be here all day.  Darren and I have been looking at what we want to do 'as a family'.  We both love the outdoors and the simple life and camping is something we both enjoy, although haven't done much of since we've been together.  But seeing some of this beautiful country of ours as a family really has become something we are both excited about... the boys are so excited too!!!  We're even looking at investing in either a camper trailer or campervan.  But for now the good ol' tent will do :-)  This friday will be our first family camping exhibition.  We're heading to Lake Colace, just for a night, for Evan's birthday.  We've already got our next date set too!  Happy, exciting times ahead!!!
Well I better stop now.  But overall, so many things went right in 2011... here's hoping 2012 is just as great :-)

  1. Hi Kerri,
    I love that both you and Darren came to the conclusion that you were both willing to be committed to working at your marriage and make compromises to ensure that remains solid. Its a hard thing to catch sometimes, but I definitely agree with you there!
    i really enjoyed reading your journey through this post - I look forward to reading more through the challenge!

  2. Fabulous first post - you seem very caring but practical - meaning you recognise the realties in life and the hard work it takes but also enjoy your family and the time together. Right now i imagine you are enjoying lake Colace - here's to many more camping trips in 2012!

Two Women In Flight

We capped off our Adirondack Mountain vacation with a great treat, which was meeting Marguerite McDonough Jersey (woman in the middle, my mom is to the right of her and yours truly to her left).

Marguerite was introduced to us by Charlotte Defilippo, who my mother and my sister met while attending church last Friday morning. Why her story is interesting is because she was one of the last people to be present with Amelia Earhart before her lost flight, the Maiden Voyage in early July 1937. By the way, there are some very fascinating people who reside in the Adriondack Mountains...hidden treasures.

Marguerite did not disclose her age to me, but Charlotte guesses she's at least 95 years old. She hasn't told her story to any news agency; but was very eager and gracious to speak to my mom, my sister and myself about her encounter with Amelia Earhart and show the original news clippings. Sometimes it pays to be a known newshound or news-pain, depending on who you ask.

Here's Marguerite's story and please keep in mind that Marguerite was around the age of 20, while Amelia was about 40 years old at the time.

"I was on my way to teach first grade at the Standing Rock Indian Reservation located in Bismarck, North Dakota." Before boarding her flight for the Reservation, a ticket agent said to her, "You're going to have an interesting flight. You're the only one on the flight with another lady and it's Amelia Earhart. It's going to be Capt. Bates and Northwest Airways. Amelia and you will be on the flight." This was of course a thrill for Marguerite. "I began to get on the flight and Amelia came from the waiting room in a full length sable coat, with no makeup on, and she, of course got on the plane first."

Captain Bates, [cannot find any info. on him] was the transitional pilot taking Amelia to her destination to meet the experienced flight navigator, Fred Noonan for her trip to circumnavigate the globe.

While in flight, (to drop these two ladies at their respective destinations) Bates received messages of a terrible storm hitting Fargo and decided to land at the Fargot Airport. Bates said, "Would you ladies like to come to my home? We can stay until the weather subsides." Marguerite agreed and said, "Mrs. Bates was very nice with coffee, cookies and two little children, Amelia spoke to no one, except the children and she played with them on the floor with coins. I stayed at the Bates' home for about 3 hours with Amelia."

After the storm subsided, for Marguerite, "it was off to Bismarck and for Amelia it was off to Seattle and San Diego for this new plane she never flew before." Marguerite wished her good luck never thinking the plane would run out of gas. She also noted to me that, "Someone found a piece of her shoe. But, never found her."

This story intrigued me so much because it's one of those "by chance" encounters that doesn't have a proper ending. Here you have two women, going in two very different directions in their lives with pretty much the same goals...Adventure and a New Life ahead. Maybe. That's my interpretation.
Here are more interesting quotes from my interview with Marguerite.
"I noticed most that she [Amelia] was very quiet and private. Airplanes and motors were her love. She kept talking with the captain about planes. She was a quiet person; but her mind was great with the children. You have to keep in mind, a woman wouldn't do this in those days 1935-1937."

"I couldn't believe when I heard what happened to her. I thought, maybe she missed that island and they will find her. Maybe they would have found her. Many years later they found a piece from her shoe. She ran out of gas I guess."

"I told everyone in the world about it. And told everyone in Standing Rock Reservation. I was going to follow her until she got to her destination."

"Amelia and Captain Bates were courteous and polite to me. But they only included me in conversations about the weather. Amelia had very reserved and quiet moments."

Christmas At Our House Part 2: Have you ever heard of arancini?

Arancini means "little oranges" in Italian...

My family made these for Christmas Eve every year. I did a little research and, with the help of my "taste testing family" we came up with our own versions of this traditional Italian treat.

These do look a little like oranges, but they are savory.

You start with white sushi rice. (I made mine with organic vegetable broth instead of water) When it's done cooking, let it cool.

1 bowl of organic plain bread crumbs
1 bowl with 2 beaten eggs (I used powdered egg replacer)
1 bowl of filling (I used 1 diced vegan Italian sausage, organic tomato sauce, and some shredded vegan cheese)
Stir some nutritional yeast into the rice for flavor. Add salt if you didn't add it to the rice while it was cooking.
Heat a pot of oil for frying.

Wet your hands with warm water (and keep a bowl of warm water close by) and place a small amount of rice in the palm of your hand. Form a well.

Add some of the filling into the well.

Top the well with more rice.

Form it into a ball. Allow the sauce to penetrate into the rice. Press tightly. This will help the sauce  flavor the rice.

Coat the rice ball with the egg (or egg replacer)...

... then, roll it in the breadcrumbs.

Carefully place it into the hot oil by lowering it slowly while it sits on a slotted spoon.
Turn it and allow it to brown all the way around.

Remove it from the oil and drain on a paper towel.
This "well used" frying pot comes out only once a year to make Christmas treats like this and homemade canolli shells.

Cool and enjoy.

There are so many varieties of arancini on the Internet. Some are sweet, some are savory, and some combine both!
I think these 6 aracini look like a fat gingerbread boy.
Look closely, can you see his face???

Tell me about your favorite holiday foods that you enjoy making and stop by again tomorrow to see part 3 in my Christmas cooking series.

Merry Christmas!

  1. How funny! I just had some arancinis on Royal Carribean's Liberty of the Seas just this week. They were yummy. I can't wait to try these.

    1. They are becoming popular again! I found some in the food service section of Whole Foods in So Cal. I hope you have fun making these. :)

Exposed | SGPC President Gobind Singh Longowal Under Fire As Controversial

AMRITSAR SAHIB, Punjab—Refuting the allegations of begging votes from rapist Sirsa cult chief Gurmeet Ram Rahim are proving counterproductive for the newly elected SGPC President Gobind Singh Longowal. Now, Longowal is entangled in his own statements as some of his controversial photos of visiting non-Sikh shrines for begging votes have also gone viral over social media.

It may be recalled here that Gobind Singh Longowal was held guilty for begging votes from Sirsa cult during the last state assembly polls. A three member Investigation committee comprising of former SGPC Senior Vice President Baldev Singh Qaimpur, General Secretary Amarjit Singh Chawla and executive member Gurcharan Singh Grewal had held Longowal guilty of begging votes from Sirsa cult after thoroughly probing the matter.

Conversation with Gobind Singh Longowal is being presented here for Sikh24’s audience.

Question: How are you feeling after getting elected as a President of the apex Sikh body?  You have never made any claims to presidency before.

Answer: It is true that I never made any claim for the Presidency of SGPC but if now the Almighty Lord has put responsibility of serving as a President of this apex body on my shoulders, I will also do my best.

Question: Your election as SGPC President has been opposed by Sikhs as you were accused of begging votes from rapist Sirsa cult chief Gurmeet Ram Rahim. What would you say about it?

Answer: See, I didn’t ever go for begging votes from Sirsa cult. I don’t know why my name got aired in this controversy despite of the fact that I didn’t ever beg votes from him.

Question: Then, why were you held guilty by the Takht Jathedars?

Answer: I don’t know how it happened but I would like to make it clear that I had even submitted a written clarification before the Takht Jathedars at that time. Being a devoted Sikh, I had completed the punishment addressed to me by the Takht Jathedars.

Question: You have been given reins of SGPC at such a time when it is facing sharp wrath of Sikh masses over several controversial issues. How would you deal with these challenges?

Answer: Sorting out controversies over Sikh issues is not a matter of a day or two. Definitely, it requires some time and an honest approach by all the factions. But I will do my best to bring the entire Sikh community on a common platform by giving an end to controversies.

Question: It is widespread belief in the entire Sikh community that the RSS is indirectly having full control over the SGPC due to SAD’s alliance with saffron BJP. What is your opinion about it?

Answer: A lot of stories have been cooked by some miscreants about SGPC during the past few years but it’s up to our intelligence how much we trust on such cooked stories. If RSS is controlling SGPC then why the SGPC appointed Takht Jathedars boycotted Gurpurab celebrations by RSS in Delhi in October this year.

As far as SAD’s alliance with BJP is concerned, I can’t say anything about it as I am not even a core committee member of Shiromani Akali Dal.

I have been given the responsibility of governing Sikh shrines & intensifying religious preachment in Punjab and that I will do with full honesty.

Question: Lost glory of SGPC appointed Takht Jathedars has caused emergence of Parallel Takht Jathedars which ultimately led to division among Sikh community. How would you deal with it?

Answer: I will humbly approach every Sikh sect including the Sarbat Khalsa appointed Takht Jathedars and will appeal them to get united for the sake of welfare of Sikh community.

However, it has now come to fore that of the 39 leaders found guilty of begging votes from Sirsa cult, only Manpreet Singh Ayali had submitted clarification before Takht Jathedars and he was only directed to offer Karah Prasad by the Takht Jathedars.   Via Sikh 24

Mattel to make ‘Beautiful and Bald Barbie’ dolls for patients

(KCAL/KCBS/CNN) — Special chemotherapy Barbie dolls are helping to give young cancer patients an emotional lift.

One girl in California loved hers so much, her mom started a campaign to put them in the hands of other girls with cancer.

It wasn’t love at first sight for Grace Bumstead, 4, and Ella, a chemotherapy Barbie who’s bald and wears wigs.

“When they first met, she’s like, ‘OK, I get what’s going on.’ But it gave us the chance to say, ‘Here’s a beautiful, smiling doll. It doesn’t have hair,'” said Melissa Bumstead, Grace’s mother.

Grace has a rare form of leukemia. The rate among children is roughly 1 in a million.

She will endure high doses of chemotherapy over the next year and a half.

“She’s been amazingly brave. And we’re very, very proud of her. It’s not where we expected to be in life right now,” Melissa Bumstead said.

And one of the hardest adjustments has been losing Grace’s blonde curls, but that’s where Ella came in.

“We bring her along everywhere to say, this is what’s happening. This is what’s happened to Ella. This is what’s going to happen to you. It brought it to her level,” Melissa Bumstead said.

Now Ella is part of what the family calls Grace’s “inner circle of Barbies,” alongside Ariel and Rapunzel.

But sadly not every cancer patient is able to adopt an Ella doll.

When Children’s Hospital Los Angeles told Grace’s mom they only had six dolls to hand out, she created a petition to ask Mattel to make more.

In just three months, that petition had more than 100,000 supporters.

“Every 10 minutes, we got 1,000 signatures,” Melissa Bumstead said.

Mattel took notice, contacting Grace’s mom and agreeing to make more Ella dolls and to distribute to Children’s Hospitals throughout the country.

“If the pain that we’re going through right now can help someone else, it makes it feel like it’s worth it,” Melissa Bumstead said.

Grace’s oncologist said she has a 75 percent chance of being cured.

“But the big issue is psychosocial. How will she view herself? How will she view the world when she grows up? Will she be afraid of the whole world because she thinks that leukemia will come back at any minute and end her life?” Dr. Paul Gaynon said.

Grace’s family believes Ella will help remind the young girl of the struggle she overcame and hopefully will never revisit.

“We really believe that God is going to use this to do good things in her life and to make her the kind of person that she’s going to fight for good things all of her life,” Melissa Bumstead said.

Mattel told the Bumstead family that they plan to distribute the Ella dolls in August. The announcement comes after a Facebook group called ‘Beautiful and Bald Barbie’ urged to produce the toy in effort to reach girls affected by hair-loss. Their goal is to make new ones every year.

The World Of Khoras - History

Section 6 - History

All history is the record of man's single failure to thwart his destiny - the record, in other words, of the few men of destiny who, through recognition of their symbolic role, made history.

Henry Miller

Khoras has a turbulent and bloody history marred by war for most of recorded time. It is a world that has seen great magicks, terrible tragedies, long wars and new beginnings that have occurred at an unprecedented pace.

The most significant event in Khorasian history is the cataclysmic disaster known as the Sundering. (See below). This event serves as a focal point for history. Scholars divide history up into two major eras : Pre-Sundering and Post-Sundering. Historical events preceding the Sundering are marked by year on the Thullian Imperial Calendar. Those following are marked on the Common Calendar. Each era is divided up into a number of "Ages" which are defined in length by the significant events which mark its beginning and ending. Each age is further divided up into "Periods" which highlight specific groups of related events.

Beginning Ending Numerical Age Age/Event Length
10,000 BT 0 BT The First Age The Age Of Dawning 10,000

Cambodia, Japan vow to further strengthen bilateral, regional cooperation

Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe (C) arrives in Phnom Penh
Nov. 16, 2013 for a day-long visit to Cambodia. (Xinhua/Li Hong   2013-11-16 19:09:28

PHNOM PENH, Nov. 16 (Xinhua) -- Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen and visiting Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe on Saturday pledged to further enhance bilateral cooperation in some key areas for the mutual benefits of the two countries and peoples,according to a joint statement.

The two premiers agreed to further cooperate in the fields of politics and security, democracy and rule of law, economics, development and culture, said the statement released after a one- hour meeting at the Peace Palace. "The two leaders decided to further enhance dialogue on political and security issues, using existing fora such as the politico-military dialogue,"it said."They also decided to advance further cooperation between the defense authorities of both countries including through capacity building assistance."

On regional and international issues, the two leaders decided to promote further cooperation toward regional and global peace and prosperity.

They underscored the importance of settling maritime disputes by peaceful means in accordance with universally recognized principles of international law in order to establish the principle of the rule of law in the Asia-Pacific region while expressing expectation on an early conclusion of an effective Code of Conduct (COC) which contributes to the effective settlement of conflicts in the South China Sea.

Both sides also urged the Democratic People Republic of Korea ( DPRK) to fully comply with its obligations under the relevant United Nations Security Council Resolutions and commitments under the Sept. 19, 2005 Joint Statement of the Six Party Talks, and to take concrete actions for its denuclearization.

Speaking at a joint press briefing after the meeting, Hun Sen said the meeting was fruitful and covered almost all fields of bilateral relations as well as regional and international issues. "We had raised many measures together to further strengthen this relationship, he said.

Abe said he was very satisfied with the relations and cooperation between Japan and Cambodia and vowed to further develop the ties for the benefits of the two countries and peoples. "Japan will not only continue providing official development aid to Cambodia, it will also encourage more Japanese companies to come to Cambodia,"he said.

Meanwhile, two documents concerning training Cambodian peacekeepers for the United Nations Peacekeeping Operations and cooperation in the health sector were signed by the two premiers.

Abe arrived here Saturday for a one-day official visit to further promote Japan-Cambodia ties and cooperation. The trip will take him Laos on Sunday.

Both hailing from LA, the two have teamed up for "Gang Bang", a peak time party rocker. Heavy synths and low grinding bass kick things off while crunchy snares and mini rolls add a Breakbeat feel to a more 4/4 tune. Squelching riffs and raunchy subs work you through the first breakdown closing it out with a gun cocking and the voice in your speakers letting you know "your ears are about to bleed" and then dropping down to silence for a brief moment before the shit hits the fan. Slamming in comes a full on onslaught of audio carnage complete with a weighty bassline, loads of zaps and bleeps and a good dose of heavy breathing just to creep you out a bit. Heaps of change ups, edits, and fills keep the energy through the roof from start to finish. Checkout both PARTYSMARTIE and Blah Blah Blah's Soundcloud pages for more free big tunas and wall shakers.

Mothers Are Magical

Mother's Day is right around the corner and this year I decided to try something a little different. One of our grandma's is a professional photographer and I asked her if she would be willing to take a picture of each student for a Mother's Day card. I loved the idea of it being in sepia and looking like an old fashion picture. She was so sweet to agree to this and bought a "brick" backdrop to use. I think these will be sensational. Now what do I use for a card? I thought about this for a long time and came up with this:

I knew these papers would be perfect for this kind of picture so I bought both and luckily they were on sale. I was rolling along when I found this little number on another aisle...

I decided to add a little pizzazz to the card and make it look a little more antiqueish (okay not a word) but you know what I am sayin'

 I made this for my students to cut and paste on their card but they can do this any way they want to. I will try not to be a total control freak but I will show them some samples like this one:

The picture will go on the other side (right) and the set comes with an envelope they can decorate as they please. I will share some of these when they are finished but I think parents will love these. What are you doing for a Mom gift?
If you need a card I have one you can grab if you would like. It looks like this and allows your students to do a bit of writing too. You get a little bang for your buck as the saying goes. It can be downloaded in my TpT store. Just click on this picture. While you are there check out my end of the year memory book. I can't wait to send this home.

Arbitration Clauses in Employment Applications may be Unfair in Certain Circumstances

By Max Nuyen

A subsequent case from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit proves resistance is not futile, and arbitration agreements can be successfully challenged under the right circumstances. The employee in this case applied for a job at a well established grocery chain. She signed and submitted an employment application stating that by completing the application, the employee agreed to be bound by the grocery chain’s arbitration policy. Although the policy was not actually provided to the employee until her orientation, the application contained an acknowledgment the terms of the mandatory and binding arbitration policy had been provided for the applicant’s review.

The arbitration policy itself contained a convoluted arbitrator selection mechanism which practically guaranteed the party not requesting arbitration would always have the arbitrator of its choosing. Certain well respected arbitration forums were excluded outright. Another paragraph permitted the grocery chain to unilaterally modify the policy without notice to the employee, with the employee’s continued employment constituting acceptance of the modifications. Finally, the parties were required to divide the arbitration fees regardless of the merits of the case.

Six months after the employee began working for the grocery chain, she left her employment under contentious circumstances. She then sued the grocery chain, alleging violations of California’s labor laws. The grocery chain moved to dismiss the case and to compel arbitration based on the terms of the arbitration policy. The grocery chain argued its arbitration policy was binding and controlling because the employee agreed to it when she applied for employment.

The employee argued the arbitration agreement was unenforceable because it was created under unfair circumstances. The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals agreed with the employee for all the reasons she set forth below.

First, the circumstances under which the contract was entered were oppressive because there was no real negotiation involved. The arbitration policy was presented as a “take it or leave it” proposition. If the employee did not accept its terms, she would not be permitted to work.

Second, the terms of the arbitration policy were not provided to the employee when she first signed the employment application. Instead, the policy was given to her several weeks after the document had already been submitted. In this respect, the employee had no opportunity to assess its terms, let alone negotiate it. The grocery store’s employment application bound the employee to later provided terms, something most courts frown upon.

Third, the arbitrator selection clause of the policy seemed to unfairly favor the grocery chain because it virtually guaranteed the grocery chain would get the arbitrator it wanted. Last, the employee argued the arbitration policy lacked any semblance of fairness because it prevented the employee from seeking redress for harm by requiring her to pay for arbitration fees regardless of the merits of her case. Therefore, the court found the arbitration policy as referenced by the employment application was not enforceable.

Award Winnings for my Proud FM Advertisements

I'm super thrilled my ads for Proud FM have been pretty popular this year. I worked on this series during last summer, but only recently have they been released. It's really been, what I think, is my best work to date. Thanks to a wonderful team of people I got to work with including, Instil Productions' Philip Rostron, Saatchi & Saatchi's Joel Arbez and Matt Antonello. I can't wait till the next one :).

Palmer Garages

This project was an outline proposal for a developer's housing competition, for a small number of apartments to be located on a gap site in North London. With the emphasis on liveable, well considered flexible homes, we introduced modest but important improvements to the typical apartment model, with all homes being dual aspect and having access to external gardens or terraces.

Lash Growth Serums…

Hello babes!

I posted on IG today about my favorite lash serums to help my natural lashes grow longer, darker and thicker. I am an avid false-lash wearer, this requires me to take extra care of my natural lashes and so I was recently sent the Babe Lash and Grande Lash MD Serums and I have been loving them! I have tried many serums in the past, including: Lilash, Revitalash, Careprost, and Latisse, but I have found that these two work best for me.

See more below!

GrandeLashMD –  I like to use this lash growth in the morning the most! I feel a bit of tingling when I apply it to my top and bottom lashes but I see no side effects. I saw results in 3-4 weeks, my lashes were for sure getting longer and I was so happy! I also love to use this on my brows to help enhance and strengthen the hairs. I like to use this every morning!

Babe Lash – Use once daily, I like to use it at night! Skin should be clean and dry before application. Apply the serum to the skin right above your upper lash line. Use a single brush stroke for each eye. Avoid rubbing your eyes until the serum has dried.When you are satisfied with the results, continue to use Babe Eyelash Serum two to three times a week to maintain long lashes. I started seeing results at 5 weeks. It is safe to use while pregnant as well as with contact lenses.

Makeup used…

Simply Sexy Winged Liner

Today I will be showing you how to do the most simple, yet sexy makeup look ever. Sometimes I get in the routine of doing the same looks all the time, brown, smokey, gold, the list goes on. I love just wearing a neutral eye with a thick black liner, something about it is so pretty and sleek. Paired with a soft pink lip, and this look can be worn anywhere. I achieved this makeup in less than twenty minutes and some days that is all the time I have to get ready. So if you are in a rush but still want to pull yourself together, this is your look. Get it below darlings!

Get the face:
If you haven’t tried this foundation yet, you are missing out! This has always been one of my favorite, it gives full, flawless and smooth coverage. It goes on really evenly and stays in place for hours. I also love how it turns from liquid to a matte finish quickly. No need for a lot of powder at all. By the end of the night is still looks amazing! I applied it with my Beauty Blender sponge in this look!
Powder: Frankie Rose “Olive” powder
 I applied this beautiful full coverage mattifying powder all over the skin in tapping motions so that the Double Wear foundation lightly shined through and gave me a dewy look.
Apply your desired amount of blush to the cheeks and lightly upward on cheekbones.
For my contour, The Balm bronzers are my favorites. They are very rich in pigment so you do not need a lot of the product. Appy to the forehead, temples, cheekbones, sides of nose, and tip of nose!

Products used:
Apply a neutral/beige shadow before starting all over lid
MUFE gel eyeliner “black”
Makeup Geek eyeshadow “Stealth”
Frankie Rose eyeliner pencil “black”
House Of Lashes “Tigress”
This will not make your eyes appear smaller, it will actually make them appear larger because we are not lining the entire eye. We are accentuating the outer corners of the eyes and leaving the inner tear duct areas lighter. This look can be worn by all eye types. If you want to wear a smaller wing than don’t extend the end out as far.

I just got this gorgeous natural pink color the other day and I have been wearing it all week! It is pretty close to my natural lip color and adds a great pink shine to the lips!

Hope you all enjoyed this quick look!
I have a few Halloween tutorials in the making coming your way, so stay tuned.
So excited to leave for California on Thursday for a couple weddings/events in San Diego.
Any questions about this look just comment below and I will be sure to answer them!
Have a great Wednesday!

"change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time"
I am wayyy too excited about Marissa coming down tomorrow & the US election results to study anymore for my exam on Wednesday :-X

mottledpigeon shared this link on Facebook, and I love it so, so much: Barack Obama: a pictorial journey.

I am so hopeful about this election, and the message it will send out to the world.

Have fun ladies!

I wouldn't get too excited, you do know there is still a large chance McCain will win? I'm from the South, trust me! A loooot of Republicans and racists hiding in the woodworks there.

Thanks for posting that picspam I'll have to pass the link on!

*nod* I am trying to be restrained in my excitement, knowing that anything really could happen and an Obama victory isn't a given. I'm definitely hopeful though :) &probably not as restrained as I should be lol.
Joy Desiree'gerardomacphail on November 3rd, 2008 01:44 pm (UTC)
its very odd. I drove in the city the other day and there were obama signs and shirts everywhere, then i went out of the city like..maybe 5 mins drive into a more rural area to check out a rec center i hadnt been too...tons of mccain signs my whole way there. it was so odd
i don't want to wait foreverseasoned on November 3rd, 2008 01:11 pm (UTC)
I think I am just anxious for the election to be over. I have grown tired of everyone bashing each other for what they will vote for/believe in. I think this election has brought the worst out in everyone.

Thanks for the picture entry link!

I am getting very nervous for the election. I voted absentee a few weeks ago because I go to college in a different state. Both states (Massachusetts, where I live, and Vermont, where I go to school) are strongly for Obama. I go to one of the most liberal colleges in the country, and the student body is pretty much an Obama fan club. I don't know anyone who supports McCain, so it's weird to think that McCain has a chance of winning. I don't know what I would do.

Obama means an unbelievable amount to American youth. I think a McCain victory would crush a really promising trend of youth engagement and hope, as well as being a disaster for foreign policy, the economy, education, and health care. But luckily, I think it's likely that Obama will win. It's just not certain enough for me to feel at ease.

Carrie Underwood and Keith Urban are currently on tour in New Zealand for the very first time, and the two country stars fittingly teamed up for a live duet.

Urban enlisted Underwood for a studio version of "The Fighter" earlier this year. The song appeared on his Ripcord album.

Underwood appeared live beside Urban on Dec. 3 in Wellington, New Zealand, and had as much fun on stage as the audience watching along. Urban began the beat-heavy track alone with his band on the first verse before the audience began screaming as Underwood walked up the stage stairs to join him on the chorus. Once Urban took back over on lead vocals, Underwood could be seen dancing along and mouthing to the words.

Not only was it the first time these country superstars performed "The Fighter" live together, but it was also the first time they each played a concert in New Zealand. After the show, Urban shared his excitement to be in the country and his appreciation to the fans who knew all the words to his songs:

"I was shocked and blown away that you guys knew every song," Urban says. "It was phenomenal. I had the best time. I wasn't expecting that. We never played here before and I thought you guys might know a handful of songs and it was just beyond my wildest dreams tonight."

Keith Urban Says "The Fighter" Overcame Obstacles

A Witness to Bullying

Diary of a Witness
Bullying seems to be seeping into my world more and more lately. From the conference, to the last few YA books I have read, it seems to be everywhere. Sadly. So how do you make each book unique and special? Because you make it real. Catherine Ryan Hyde made Diary of a Witness as real as you could get with the lives of two young men who continue to suffer at the hands of their bullies even after they suffer and inconceivable tragedy.

Ernie and Will are friends, but they are each other's only real friend. Both are targets. Ernie is bullied because he is overweight and his mom is even more overweight and his father split long ago. Will is bullied because he is strange and has acne and his mother left with another man, leaving him, his little brother Sam, and his father to fend for themselves. Both boys like fishing, which is also a source of mockery amongst the popular guys at school. One day Will convinces Ernie to go fishing in the ocean with him and Sam. In a freak accident, the boat is sunk and Sam never surfaces.

After Sam's death, you would think the bullies would lay off Will for a while, but they do something worse. They use his brother's death as fodder for the torment. In fact, they beat Will down so much, he tries to kill himself. Ernie calls the ambulance and saves Will, but even this doesn't stop the bullies. Ernie and Will go to Ernie's uncle's house for Christmas vacation and they almost feel normal. When they come back to school, though, it is as if Will just can't take it anymore. He talks about hurting the bullies so much that it makes Ernie nervous. When the bullies attack Ernie and Will one final time, it seems as though Will has been driven to do the unthinkable. But can Ernie stop Will before he does something he can never take back? Should he care if the people who tormented him for years are going to get hurt?

This book is told from the perspective of both a witness and a victim. Ernie tells the story, but he is still a victim himself. The narration gives the reader an interesting take on how the bullying dynamic can affect children. An interesting aspect is when the bullies accidentally take it too far. One time, they tripped Ernie and he tripped too far, falling down the stairs. He was barely conscious, but he could hear the boys were scared- they meant to trip him, but not throw him down the stairs. Of course, their concern is for how much trouble they are going to be in, not Ernie's welfare. It shows how almost a frenzy is created when these things get going, bringing people to levels they would never reach independently. This is a scary examination into the world of bullied teens.

The story is short, only 200 pgs, and is appropriate for all ages, high powered elementary students through low-skilled high school students. The subject matter is tough, but so is school for kids of all ages. If a kid is able to read this book, then they have surely been involved in bullying somehow, as a bully, a victim, or a witness. To see the extreme of consequences bullying can reach is an important lesson to learn. This book is versatile enough reach so many kids, it becomes a great asset to any classroom or library.

One of country music's hottest new stars is Justin Moore. Justin is a small town country boy from a small town in Arkansas where everybody knows everybody. Had a chance to meet him in Memphis, Tn. earlier this year at the St. Jude radio seminar where he visited the kids in the hospital. Then a few months ago saw him in concert at Shooters where he packed the house for a rockin' country concert.

Now Justin is getting ready to release his new album later this month, titled "Outlaws Like Me'" which features his top single "If Heaven Wasn't So Far Away" a song that holds special meaning to him. Justin lost his grandfather a few years ago and the song really hits home.

The Academy Of Country Music sat down with Justin Moore and asked him about his upcoming album and his tour with Rascal Flatts.

Be listening to Kicker 102.5 later this month for a special surprise for Justin Moore fans.

Remember the old Jim Stafford song that said "I don't like spiders or snakes"? Well, I don't and looks like most Americans don't like snakes either!

Public Policy Polling took a survey and found out the most feared animals.

As a whole, Americans are more terrified of snakes than any other animal, with 21% of respondents claiming they were the scariest. Alligators were a close second at 19%, with sharks and bears following with 18% and 14% respectively.

The Top 9 Most Feared Animals:

1. Snakes

2. Alligators, although %6 of the people polled said they wanted one as a pet! Yikes!

3. Sharks

4. Bears

5. Cockroaches. Yeah, I am scared of them, but it's the ones that are so big you could put  a saddle on them! I've always heard those were called "tree roaches".

6. Tigers. Aw, but 26% said they wanted one as a pet! Yes! Me too! Cause they are so cute and fluffy! Who cares that they could bit your head off. :)

7. Bats.

8. Spiders. Yikes! Me too!

9. Wolves...really? Maybe a werewolf?

Who remembers this song?

Happy Groundhog Day

And what a better day to revisit ye old New Year's Resolutions. Let's start with the

  1. Knit less. See the sewing and weaving. Sure, nothing is finished, but it was time spent on crafts other than knitting.
  2. Knit in color. Cha-ching my blog-reading friends! Bonus story: walking across campus with my boss. She turns and asks what brand my hat is - she likes it, looks warm. I held out my hands and said I made it - with these. A priceless event.
  3. Finish Na Craga. No where near completion, but I at least excavated the basic parts.
  4. Finish the tea lights. No comment.
  5. Finish the plain gray sweater. No comment.
  6. Knit more Christmas gifts. Check - started my first pair of Jaywalkers, which will end up a gift for someone.
Personal resolution
Step 1 - success to date. I have purchased no soda in the grocery store, not even the 99 cent cups at the checkout. Well, almost. My boss has started bringing 2 liters to work - for everyone to share. I do partake one or two (or three?) cups a week. I think it's only fair that I purchase a bottle in exchange. Don't you agree?

Marty Stallone

Spread the good word and share!Share on FacebookShare on Google+Tweet about this on TwitterShare on LinkedIn

Marty Stallone is an accomplished land development expert whose areas of principal focus include finance, cash-flow analytics, risk management and the corporate function management, but his understanding of so many facets of the industry beyond those focus areas is part of the driving force behind the longevity of Metropolitan Development Group, more commonly known as MDG.

As the executive vice president of development for MDG, Marty has developed an overarching philosophy to guide the broad-based land development company toward decisions that deliver consistently exceptional outcomes for clients and simultaneously encourage a sustainable degree of growth in keeping with the company’s goals. Marty’s leadership has proved instrumental in the continued success of MDG’s varied land development projects, which includes residential, commercial, and industrial projects located throughout the Eastern Pennsylvania region.

Marty currently operates out of MDG’s principal offices in Eastern Pennsylvania. Marty, a graduate of Cornell University and a National Merit Scholar, has freely shared his industry expertise with colleagues and industry peers alike, and he is one of the most frequently requested speakers for organizational seminars and professional conferences.

Do you know what steez is? If so, how do you express your steez?

It was a term I have heard before but I only understood its meaning through context clues. It was only recently that I had the opportunity learn its definition and origin.

When you were younger what was your dream occupation?

Math was my favorite subject during my earliest school years, so I was constantly asking about the different careers in which math might play a central role. As I got older and began taking more advanced coursework, I identified economics and finance as the area in which I wanted to pursue a career.

Who/What inspired you to get into your current field?

I was inquisitive throughout my youth, so I had several family members and teachers offer their guidance regarding the field that best suited my skill set and would satisfy my intellectual curiosity.

What is one current trend that excites you?

I’m very excited about the level of discourse in global economics. There are many great young minds making outstanding contributions to the field through research and analysis, creating endless opportunities for thoughtful, constructive discussion.

What would you consider your biggest accomplishment?

Throughout my time with MDG, we have always provided clients with exceptional services and delivered exceptional results. That is the accomplishment of which I am most proud.

What do you think of social media? Has it made an impact on your professional career?

Although I only make occasional use of social media, I have found it to be a wonderful digital tool for encouraging communication and provoking thoughtful discussion — at least when it is utilized properly.

If you were ever to start again, would you do anything differently?

I am sure that there would be something I would choose to do differently, but I am proud of all the decisions I have made over the course of my professional career and certainly have no regrets in terms of the outcomes stemming from those decisions.

What do you see for the future?

We have a plan in place to continue our land development efforts and will surely continue to develop and implement new services we feel have the potential to benefit our clients in some significant way.

What’s one piece of advice you can tell our readers?

It is never too late in one’s career to pursue additional academic opportunities or to change one’s career trajectory altogether. If a specific goal is truly important, then the time invested in its pursuit will be entirely worthwhile.

Where have we reached so far ?

KPA has its various aims and objectives which the Association has tried to put forth on various forums. The printing fraternity was once ignored on various concensus by the authorities but what Kashmir Printers Association has acheived is why almost every member of it is in need of it. It has now evolved itself as a dynamic and influential organization that provides a strong voice for the Printing fraternity of Kashmir.

1. Power tarrif which was very high has been raised with the concerned authority and a necessary cirular on this behalf has been made for the revised tarrif.

2. One of the most important acheivements is that the tender for printing has been made restricted to printers/publishers. This matter was raised with the Deputy Commissioner who restricted all the non-declarative Unit holders and cirulated it to concerned DC's not to get printing work done from them. For this a notice was also published in the prominent local dailies.

Blog Design

Another reason most of my blog ideas never amount to much is that I try to make a great design for the blog before I start posting. I feel that as a professional web designer I ought to have a design that’s better than your average blog. But to be honest, I hardly even notice the design of blogs I read, so I guess that is very secondary. I will just keep it simple for now, and actually start posting instead.

New gate.

It's been awhile since I've posted here. Since I was sick, I just have no motivation at all. I have to make myself get up and go. Maybe it's the weather too. Although, it's been so nice here lately. We have not even had a fire going til a few days ago. Windows open too. We do have to open windows sometimes because that wood heater really puts out some serious heat. It's usually 83 in the dining room which is next to the living room. So it's not too much longer til spring! I've been seeing daffodils popping up already!!

So my friend Beth, who gets goat milk from me, swapped me this great gate! I finally picked it up this past weekend. My husband wanted to put it up right away. So we set the posts yesterday and got it all finished this morning! SO much beter than the 2 pallets with the little piece of fence in the middle for a gate.

Here it is, all done. Farmer Tiny, so proud of it! He is a great guy really. It might take all day to do something, but he can still do it!

And here they go, through the new gate for the first time! And as usual, Sugar is the very last one anywhere. He just ambles everywhere, that alpaca. No hurry for him. He's so funny. I have seen him run a few times, but it's very rare.

And there they all are, through the gate. And we have never been able to get the latch part to be snug against the pole. Ever. So we have lots of bungee cords all over. But it works! And that's all that matters. It looks so much better. And it swings both ways. It'll be so much easier to get through without getting scratched by wire.

Thank you Beth! I got the other gate from her too, that goes to the goat yard.

So what's going on at your farms?

Linda said...

I think Sugar the alpaca is cute! Nice gate too. It's always nice to make little improvements on the farm.We need some new gates too.

We had finally had a dry spell here in the weather. For several weeks it was nonstop mud and rain. I was getting really depressed and the farm was so messy. Its been dry for over a week and we have finally had some sun....yippie!!!
Yesterday it was 53 degrees and sunny. It was so nice outside and we tapped our first trees for maple syrup making.It was a beginners kit I purchased from Amazon and its working pretty good. Going to collect some sap today and start boiling.

Kris said...

That sounds like such fun, tapping maple trees for syrup! You really don't get much from all those gallons and gallons of sap though. But well worth it. Have fun! Can't wait to see how much you get. And your little grandkids are adorable!

Farm stuff...

I had hooked this feeder onto the stanchion last week and have just left it there. I'm glad I did. And it will stay there too. Olga is a very wasteful goat. When I had both stanchions in here and milking both goats, under her stanchion would be about half her feed. She'll take a huge bite, then lift her head. And when she does that, about half of it falls to the floor. I tried sweeping it up and putting it back in. But no, goats will not touch anything that's been on the floor! So the chickens would get it.So I kept hearing things hitting this feeder and it's the food that would have hit the floor, falling into the feeder! Ha! So when she's done with the feed in the wooden feeder, I just dump what's in the green feeder back in. Solved that waste problem!

This is Sugar. He and Misha are always the last to go anywhere. Well, Sugar is.He is either not paying attention when the sheep move to another place or he is pooping. This is the world's slowest alpaca ever. Seriously, this guy saunters. He's the slowest saunterer in the world too. My sister saunters. She never walks fast, even when she's in a hurry. Or when anyone else is in a hurry. She's always behind everyone else. So is this guy. I have to wait a few minutes for him to go through the gate. And if I'm too close, he won't go through. He's so weird.

And THIS guy. Oh my, I want to kill him! He literally crows ALL DAY! And especially when anyone is outside. He follows me into the milk room where the feed is in the morning, and crows in there. First thing in the morning, I am already pissed and cussing! I hate this rooster!

Anyone else have a rooster that just crows all day long?

Bananas Foster French Toast.

Monday, November 19, 2012

A few months back I made this oh-too-simple Bananas Foster French Toast when Kristen visited me here in New York.  It was the perfect breakfast that seemed more complicated than it actually was.  Since then, Kristen has baked it for our family in Miami and I plan to make it for breakfast on Thanksgiving morning.  I found the recipe here and have to question how "skinny" it is! I recommend you save this recipe because it is sure to become your quick and simple go-to breakfast meal that is sure to impress.

Bananas Fosters Topped Overnight French Toast

Cooking spray
10 oz Challah bread, sliced 1 inch thick (Hawaiian or Brioche would work)
2 large eggs
1 cup egg substitute
1-1/2 cups fat free milk
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 cup agave or white sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp Meyers rum or rum extract (optional)

For the Banana Topping:
1 tbsp light butter
1/2 cup brown sugar (packed)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tbsp Meyers rum or 1 tsp rum extract (optional)
4 medium ripe bananas, sliced

Spray a 13 x 9-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Arrange bread slices in one layer in baking dish, squeezing them slightly to fit.

In a large bowl whisk together eggs, egg substitute, milk, vanilla, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, agave or sugar, salt and rum until combined well and pour evenly over bread. Coverand refrigerate at least 8 hours or overnight for best results.

Preheat oven to 350° F. and bring bread to room temperature.

Bake uncovered, in middle of oven until puffed and edges are pale golden, 40 to 45 minutes.

Kuala Lumpur Chinatown
The original Chinatown centred on Market Square. Jalan Tun H.S. Lee or High Street, became increasingly popular as it was higher than the rest of the town and therefore less prone to floods. The wealthier and more ornate shop houses were built north of Jalan Cheng Lock, closer to the business centre.

Kuala Lumpur was a typical "pioneer" town at the turn of the century, filled with a rough and tough population that was largely male.
They were largely Cantonese and Hakkas who came to the city because of the tin trade, working as coolies in the mines. They were governed by a Chinese Kapitan or headman. The most famous Chinese Kapitan is Yap Ah Loy, a Hakka.

Traffic jam leading to Kuala Lumpur's Chinatown on Petaling Street.
In 1870, civil war erupted with the Chinese community being split along partisan lines into the Hokkien Ghee Hin and the Hakka Hai San secret societies. The British were called in to help end the strife but many of the buildings in the settlement were burnt down or severely damaged.

During the Selangor Civil War, the tin mines were abandoned and when the miners returned after the war, they found that the mines were flooded and therefore could not work. Yap Ah Loy persuaded the miners and coolies to remain in KL and the Malays in surrounding districts to grow rice and other garden products. He opened a Tapioca Mill in Petaling Street where the tubers from his farms were brought here to be ground into flour. Petaling Street is still fondly called ‘Chee Cheong Kai’ in Cantonese which means starch factory street.
A room of budget hotel in Petaling Street
There is a McDonalds on the 1st shop lot of Petaling Street. Located inside Petaling Street is a 3-star Business Class and Hostel like: Hotel Malaya and Swiss Inn Hotel, and no frills hotel, Stayorange Hotel. Also near there is a Chinese bookshop and a few stalls selling Hainanese chicken rice and Noodles. A small longan stall is also located there.

Nearby is Jamek Mosque, an old mosque of Moorish architecture while a tourist spot known as Central Market is within walking distance. Also nearby are the Pasar Seni LRT station of the Kelana Jaya Line and the Maharajalela Monorail station.

One of the most famous landmarks, the Sri Mahamariamman Temple, Kuala Lumpur, is located along Jalan Tun H.S. Lee is KL's chinatown. It is one of KL's oldest and richest Hindu temples. It receives many devotees and tourists daily.
In 2003, the road underwent a major RM11.3mil face lift with two large Chinese arches placed at both ends of the street to welcome visitors, and a roof cover was made covering the street, dubbed as the "Green Dragon". The street is closed to vehicular traffic since and became pedestrian-only, transforming it into a pedestrian shopping mall. It still pulls in many tourists, who go there to shop and will be regarded as a heritage site.

However, Petaling Street is still the best place to shop for counterfeit branded products and has large selection of local Chinese cuisine. For buyers, it is often possible to negotiate the price tag of an item such as watches, clothing and all counterfeit items. Petaling Street does not exclusively offer pirated products. Haggling is a common sight here and the place is usually crowded with locals as well as tourists.

Study: Texas cut juvenile jail rates, saw youth crime fall

(AP Photo/Federal Bureau of Prisons)

AUSTIN (AP) — A sweeping nonpartisan study released Thursday suggests Texas can be a model for improving juvenile justice systems nationwide, concluding that the state’s dramatic shift away from sending youths to detention facilities has coincided with a sharp drop in crime committed by young people.

Compiled by the Justice Center at the Washington-based Council of State Governments, the report found that the number of juveniles held in state centers fell 66 percent between 2007 and 2012, from around 4,305 to about 1,500. Youth crime rates over the same period declined by a third.

Michael Thompson, director of the Council of State Governments Justice Center, said much of the country has moved to reduce the number of juveniles jailed in state facilities and youth crime rates have also declined in many areas— but Texas’ saw both fall sharply at the same time.

Lawmakers spent years redesigning the system after pervasive 2007 reports of physical and sexual abuse at youth lockups. As the number of young people confined to state facilities began to fall, many were assigned to community-based programs run by counties and situated closer to their homes.

“Out of sight, out of mind was no longer the standard,” said state Sen. John Whitmire, a veteran Houston Democrat who chairs the chamber’s Criminal Justice Committee. Of young offenders, he said, “getting them back in their community has been very successful.”

The study also found that cutting the number of kids in state-run facilities saved Texas $150 million — much of which was reinvested in community-based programs.

Tracking 1.3 million individual case files, the report noted that Texas continues to have the nation’s second-largest juvenile justice system.

It also determined that while re-arrest rates remain too high for all kids who enter the system, those assigned to community programs were 20 percent less likely to be arrested again than those sent to state detention facilities. They were also three times less likely to commit serious offenses.

Less rosy news, however, was the report’s finding of relatively little difference in re-arrest rates for juveniles based on the type of community-based program they were exposed to. That meant young people who got treatment were about as likely to be re-arrested as those who simply were placed in surveillance programs.

Malaysian Food Blog, Travel, Diving & More

Despite working at KLCC (a stone’s throw away from Ascott) and having heard good things about SevenAteNine, I have never been to the place until this. I invited Michelle to join me for dinner. Michelle is actually one of the first persons I got to know through this blog from more than three years ago, and it had been quite a while since we last play catch up over a meal.

Sevenatenine at Ascott KL
very posh interior, Guinness-infused menu

As with Cafe Chulo at Jaya One, Ronnie Q at Bangsar, and Gypsy WIne & Bar at Changkat Bukit Bintang I reviewed recently, SevenAteNine is running the Guinness-infused Christmas main course promotion until the end of the year. It works like this (just in case you missed the previous entries):

  • order a Guinness-infused Christmas main course
  • fill up a voucher with your details
  • tear it in half and give the side with your details to the restaurant to redeem a small pint of Guinness Draught
  • keep the other half of the voucher to get RM12 off 3 pint of Guinness Draught on next visit

Sevenatenine at Ascott KL
KY, Guinness, and Michelle

SevenAteNine is a rather posh restaurant with very tastefully decorated interior, there are proper dining tables as well as sofas (more for drinking) arranged in fully indoor or semi alfresco settings. We picked a quiet corner upstairs and started browsing the menu.

Curiously, a plate of papadem with chili sauce instead of chips and salsa as tidbits, a little closer to home I suppose.

Sevenatenine at Ascott KL
papedem and warm salad with foie gras

We ordered a serving of warm salad with foie gras as appetizer, lamb cutlet and Guinness-infused beef ribs as main, and a creme brulee as dessert to share.

I have been ordering foie gras whenever I have a chance since I first tasted the delicacy at Zipangu. The simplistic appetizer came with 2 slabs of fattened goose liver, salad, balsamic vinegar, and a few slices of strawberry. The foie gras was pretty good, though it could be served slightly less cooked, but still it did not disappoint and went well with the salad and balsamic vinegar. The bitter after taste of Guinness Draught complements the rich and creamy taste of foie gras perfectly.

Sevenatenine at Ascott KL
lamb cutlet and Guinness-infused beef ribs

The lamb cutlet is prepared with a choice of medium or well done and served with potato, bell pepper, long beans, and some herbs. The taste was certainly pretty good and at least on par with those I had at Gaucho Grill. Juicy and full of flavor.

The Guinness-infused beef ribs, however, is another animal altogether (I apologize for the pun). A rather generous slab of ribs served cooked with a good deal of influence from Guinness Draught served with beetroot, coriander, and balsamic vinegar. Certainly a signature of the Chef in Black with its more complex and sophisticated taste. I like it.

Sevenatenine at Ascott KL
the excellent creme brulee

The dessert picked by Michelle made a perfect conclusion to the excellent meal. A generous amount of some sweet liquid that smells of alcohol is poured onto the dish and set alight just prior to serving. The creme brulee came in three flavors, sweet, creamy, chocolaty, with a pretty strong taste of alcohol. It was very, very good, a must order if you are there.

SevenAteNine is located at Ascott KL

SevenAteNine is a proper fine dining restaurant, and thus with the good food and nice ambiance come the slightly upper class pricing. The two main dishes were priced RM 49.70 each, warm salad foie gras at 39.70 (pretty decent price for the ingredients), and creme brulee RM 19.70. With other drinks (Guinness comes free with the meal), service charges and taxes, the bill came to just under RM 230.

  33. guiness guiness guiness!
    seems like the cafe chulo prices are more attractive. How about the food – comparing it with Sevenatenine?

  34. 7atenine has a really nice ambience for drinking and catching up. One of the more open but ‘posh’ bars.

  35. If you ever visit TTDI or City Square, do try out Porto Romano. Excelente!

  36. crappy booze,
    Well Sevenatenine serves higher class food with more expensive ingredients, and thus offers some tastes you might not find at Cafe Chulo, such as foie gras. That said, Cafe Chulo is pretty good in itself. 🙂

    Couldn’t agree more 😉

    Ooo interesting, thanks! 😀

  37. Always passby this place, quite nice ambiance ~~

  38. Where’s Felix? :p

Informations about Batak People

Batak is a collective term used to identify a number of ethnic groups found in the highlands of North Sumatra, Indonesia. Their heartland lies to the west of Medan centred on Lake Toba. In fact the "Batak" include several groups with distinct, albeit related, languages and customs (adat). While the term is used to include the Toba, Karo, Dairi, Simalungun, Angkola, Alas-Kluet and Mandailing.

Batak societies are patriarchal organized along clans known as Marga. The Toba Batak believe that they originate from one ancestor "Si Raja Batak", with all Margas, descended from him. A family tree that defines the father-son relationship among Batak people is called tarombo. Toba Batak are known traditionally for their weaving, wood carving and especially ornate stone tombs. Their burial and marriage traditions are very rich and complex. The burial tradition includes a ceremony in which the bones of one's ancestors are reinterred several years after death. This secondary burial is known among the Toba Batak as (mangongkal holi).

Judge Place of Toba Batak

Before they became subjects of the colonial Dutch East Indies government, the Batak had a reputation for being fierce warriors. Today the Batak are mostly Christian with a Muslim minority. Presently the largest Christian congregation in Indonesia is the HKBP (Huria Kristen Batak Protestan) Christian church. The dominant Christian theology was brought by Lutheran German missionaries in the 19th century, including the well-known missionary Ludwig Ingwer Nommensen. Christianity was introduced to the Karo by Dutch Calvinist missionaries and their largest church is the GBKP (Gereja Batak Karo Protestan). But, the Mandailing Batak were converted to Islam in the early 19th century.

Batak speak a variety of closely related languages, all members of the Austronesian language family. There are two major branches, a northern branch comprising the Dairi, Alas-Kluet and Karo languages that are similar to each other but distinctly different from the languages of the southern branch comprising three mutually intelligible dialects: Toba, Angkola and Mandailing. Simalungun is an early offspring of the southern branch. Some Simalungun dialects can be understood by speakers of Batak Karo whereas other dialects of Simalungun can be understood by speakers of Toba. This is due to the existence of a linguistic continuum that often blurs the lines between the Batak dialects.
