Singapore Drivers Secret Code

Today I found out a secret. We were travelling to DHL Warehouse at Alps Avenue when it was happened. As we are driving along Changi Coast Road, my colleague started to accelerate to around 80 KM/h. If I remember correctly, the speed limit on that stretch of road is 70 KM/h. Mind you that Changi Coast Road is a long straight road next to Changi Airport’s runaway. So it’s very easy to get tempted to over speed.

Then we saw it. Almost every cars that driving in the opposite direction signaled us with their high-beam light. It took us 2-3 cars before we notice their signal. Our first thought was we ran over something, and that something is stuck in front of the car. So my friend immediately pressed the hazard-sign light and slowed down. We stopped and get out of the car and checked the front side of the car. Hmm… weird, nothing is stuck there.

So we continue to drive. Not more than 100 meters from where we stopped, we found out the truth. There was Traffic Police officers conducting speed check! We saw one car already kena pulled over.

Instantly we all laughed realizing that the signals were meant “Slow down, there’s traffic Mata ahead”.

Of course I’m not advocating over speeding. The rules in Singapore is clear. If the speed limit is 60 KM/h, you can speed at most 69 KM/h. If your speed is 10-19 KM/h above the speed limit and kena, you’ll receive warning letters (three times at most, then they’ll summon you to court). If your speed is more than 19 KM/h above the speed limit and kena, you’ll need to pay a visit to court.

Drive/ride safely folks!

Greenbacker Acquires Five Operating N.C. Solar Projects

Greenbacker Renewable Energy Co. LLC has signed a purchase agreement to acquire five operating ground-mounted solar PV systems comprising 27.8 MW located throughout eastern North Carolina for approximately $20.5 million.

Deemed the Raleigh Portfolio, the group of projects was being sold by FTI Capital Advisors LLC, a capital markets and banking advisor, on the behalf of the current owner Conergy Projects Inc. The projects were placed in service throughout 2015 and sell power to Duke Energy through a 15-year power purchase agreement (PPA), with approximately 13 years currently remaining. According to Greenbacker, the pricing on the PPA is based on time of day production that equals approximately a $0.066/kWh rate with no annual escalations over the contract period. All of the systems qualify for renewable energy credits in North Carolina, which are contracted to be sold at $5.00/MWh during the PPA term, and one of the projects also has a contract for $1.00/MWh for approximately 10 additional years.

“With this latest acquisition, we continue to build upon our portfolio of investment-grade utility solar assets,” says Charles Wheeler, CEO of Greenbacker. “While we have recently diversified our portfolio to include wind and residential solar assets as well, we continue to actively source and build upon a large pipeline of good solar assets in many areas of the United States.”

With the addition of the Raleigh Portfolio, Greenbacker says it now owns approximately 149.5 MW of generating capacity, including 45.5 MW of wind facilities and 104.0 MW of commercial and residential solar facilities.

Lessons From A Young Entrepreneur

Lessons From A Young Entrepreneur

Hey Solemates!

Today we would like to introduce you to a young up and coming blogger/entrepreneur, Sophie, of Much Love, Sophie. We love celebrating other women and admire the drive and ambition of a 13-year-old go-getter. Listen in for some inspiration!

1.) Here at Sole Serum we are all about female empowerment. Who is the one woman you look up to most and why?

The one women that I look up to the most is my mom. I admire her passionate nature in everything that she does. My mom is not afraid to take a risk and does not seek approval from anyone. She has a drive and work ethic and she stands up for what she believes in. She is a very positive influence for me.

2.) It looks like you are quite the seasoned traveler! What’s your favorite destination you’ve been to so far?

 I absolutely love Italy and everything about it! The location is beautiful, the people are so friendly, and the food is amazing.

3.) Who is your favorite celebrity with a style that you admire?

Taylor Swift, she seems to be totally authentic and works very hard. She loves what she does, and it really shows.

4.) We love what you’ve done with your blog, Much Love Sophie, and we know this must just be the beginning of your entrepreneurial endeavors. What’s your plan/dream for future Sophie enterprises?

That is a great question, I hope to inspire young girls to feel confident about themselves. Also I know it will be somewhere in the fashion industry. Ill keep you posted on my new endeavors.

5.) As a savvy dresser, you’ve got to have some major insight for dressing as a classy teen. What’s one bit of advice to share with other teens?

As long as you feel good in what you are wearing no matter the age, that will show your own class and confidence.

6.) Who is your fashion icon, and how does she inspire you?

My fashion icon is Diane Von Furstenberg I am inspired by her classic designs, but also how she has empowered women in her own company.

 7.) We’d love to see some looks for the holidays. Could you share your favorite festive manicure and hairstyle?

I have always loved dark nails in the fall/ holiday season. Right now I have on a dark grey color that I love.

Lately for my hair I have been doing a side braid pulled into a messy bun for a little something different.

 8.)  The holidays are all about vacillating between cozy down time and enchanting nighttime festivities. Could you share your favorite cozy look and favorite dressier holiday look?

I love to put on Wildfox sweatshirts and LuLu lemon leggings for something comfy in the holiday season. For a dressier look I love to wear simple dresses, with fun scarfs, a vest, or jacket. A little “sparkle”is a MUST!!!

 9.)  The holidays are a season to give back, how do you give back to your local community and how do you want your blog to be a place to inspire others to do the same?

My sister and her best friend started a club that gives warm coats to children in need. During this time of the year I get to be involved in this special event. It inspires me seeing these precious children when they receive a warm winter coat. Their warm smiles bless me and I would like to use my blog to inspire others.

Much Love, Sophie

The History of Lagertha & Shield Maidens

Posted by Sons Of Vikings on

Shield Maidens: Did the Vikings Have Women Warriors?

            Near Birka, Sweden in 1880, the burial mound of a Viking leader was discovered, complete with a magnificent array of weapons and the remains of two sacrificed horses.  In 2017, the remains of the “Birka Warrior” were reexamined; and the suspicions of astute researchers were confirmed through DNA evidence – the remains are of a female.1 This find certainly seems to lend credence to stories the Norse skalds have long told – that it was not only Norse men who could become Viking warriors, but also Norse women.  Traditionally-minded or otherwise cautious experts were quick to point out that just because the individual was buried with the tools of war did not make her a warrior.  At the same time, it would be highly unusual to bury her so if she were not.  The discovery raises the question of how many other times archeologists have made this mistake.

Female skeletons have been identified in Viking group graves (like the burial mound at Repton, England); but these may have been the women who accompanied their Viking husbands as colonists, or they could be local captives.2  The archeological uncertainty is further complicated because Vikings did not always bury their dead, but practiced a range of burial rituals including cremation, exposure to the elements, and burial at sea.2  So archeology has not been able to confirm or refute the legend of the shield maiden; but new DNA/genome techniques soon may.

            There is no question that Norse society was a patriarchal one; however, women had more freedom, self-determination, and rights than they did in most other societies of the time.  Noble and free-born women (that is, everyone except the many slaves) in 8th-11th century Scandinavia and the Viking colonies could own and inherit land; they could chose to divorce their husbands; oaths to them were as binding as to a man; and they had many other legal protections.3 If we can extrapolate from Viking mythology (which we may only do very carefully, for the actions of gods are not always the standards for mortals) women could love as they chose.4  In the Norse sagas, we see women portrayed as being just as courageous, wise, cunning, well-spoken, and respected as men.  An example of this would be Aslaug, from the Saga of Ragnar Lothbrok.  In the story, when Ragnar meets Aslaug she is disguised as a poor but free-born woman.  Despite these ordinary circumstances, Aslaug is able to decide if she will marry Ragnar; and if so, when.  She can come and go as she pleases.  Later, after she becomes Ragnar’s queen and the mother of some of the most celebrated heroes in Viking lore, her voice holds great sway, and she even leads an army against the king of Sweden.5 The fictionalized Aslaug has a number of historical counterparts, including Olga of Kiev and Freydís Eiríksdóttir – Norse women who used cunning, influence, tenacity, and ability to accomplish their ambitions and become extremely powerful rulers.3

What we know of Lagertha

            Though Aslaug leads an army, there is no overt mention of her physically joining the battle.  However, another woman associated with the legendary Ragnar is described fighting alongside men in the shield wall – a woman named Lagertha.  According to Saxo Grammaticus, Lagertha was a member of the royal household of Norway.  When the King of Sweden defeated the king of Norway, he captured many of his kinswomen as slaves.  When Ragnar heard of these outrages, he came to Norway with his followers to avenge the king’s death and to set things right.  Many of the women who had either escaped or fled the invaders came to Ragnar and begged to join him in the fight against their oppressor.  Among these women was one named Lagertha, described as having “a matchless spirit though a delicate frame”.6 She showed such skill and fury in the subsequent battle that Ragnar “declared that he had gained the victory by the might of one woman”.6 Smitten, Ragnar wooed Lagertha; who after playing hard-to-get in a very Viking fashion (she loosed her bear on him at one point), eventually married him.  The happiness of the marriage was short-lived, and the two divorced; but years later Lagertha would again come to Ragnar’s aid, leading the warriors of 120 ships into battle.  Again Lagertha’s great skill and valor saved the day, and saved her ex-husband’s fortunes.  Returning from this victory, Lagertha slew her new husband for reasons unmentioned and seized control of his kingdom for herself alone.6

            Lagertha is one of many Viking heroines described as a shield maiden.  This list of valiant fighting women includes Aslaug’s mother, Brynhildr, whose Vǫlsunga Saga inspired Wagner’s famous opera and became one of those cultural images that everyone knows but few understand.  Returning to Viking mythology, it was believed that the brave warriors who died in battle were carried from the field by armor-wearing, horse-riding female spirits known as Valkyries.  Furthermore, many of the Norse goddesses – including Freya, the goddess of love, sex, and fertility – were also goddesses of war.4 It is clear from these stories that the Vikings did not see the battlefield in strictly masculine terms.

            To further consider the plausibility of shield maidens, we can also look to cultures that were neighboring or analogous to the Vikings.  Going many centuries before the Vikings, to Celtic Britain at the time of the Roman conquest and occupation; we see women joining the men in battle (though these women are described in very witch-like terms, and may have been female druids).8 Roman occupying forces complained that while trying to arrest men, they would often be attacked by their wives.  Unease and underestimation culminated when Boudicca, queen of the Icenii avenged the war crimes of certain Romans by unleashing one of the greatest massacres ever to occur on British soil.7 In the Ulster Cycle of 7th-8th century Irish literature (i.e. just before the Viking Age), the young Achilles figure, Cu Chulainn, is told that his martial training will not be complete until he travels to Alba (Scotland) and studies under a famous female warrior named Scathach.8 Interestingly, when Cu Chulainn first faces Scathach he apparently takes her by surprise and overpowers her, but still demands of her to take him as her pupil.  His continued interest despite his victory suggests that Scathach’s real merit was as a technical fighter, and it was this superior level of technique that Cu Chulainn needed to turn his raw power and talent into true greatness.  Another interesting detail about the Scathach story is that she has sons and a daughter, demonstrating that becoming a warrior was not seen as a complete alternative to other gender roles. The legacy of female warriors would continue throughout history.  In the mid-sixteenth century, Grace O’Malley became one of the most successful pirates of the golden age of piracy, following in the footsteps of Viking shield maidens.9 In our own time, some of the most dangerous fighting in the War on Terror is being undertaken by Kurdish and Yazidi women.

            The shield maidens of the Viking Age have left us with many clues and many questions, but few firm answers.  We do not know definitively if they existed; or – if so – how common they might have been.  We do not know if they would have been used reactively to defend hearth and home, or if they might have also been involved in Viking raids and expeditions.  What we can see from the evidence is that Norse women may have been far less constrained by their society than they have been constrained by modern researchers. Norse women were more than nurturers who stayed at home tending the children and the animals.  They were respected voices in their communities and brave colonists ready to start lives from scratch in hostile lands. They could be able rulers, and may also have been fearsome warriors.  They were Vikings.

The calm before the super port

January 2011,  Acrylic on canvas 92cm x 72.5cm (36,8 ” x 29″)

In 2004 Monte Jaizkibel was declared by the European Union as a Site of Community Interest under the Natura 2000 Network. So it may surprise many of you to learn that this view from Jaizkibel looks down directly onto where a massive super port is planned to be built. Even if you can’t read  French, the first photo here will give you the idea!  This association is opposed to the project.

This video  is even more illuminating & the music with it trying to make it seem like some sort of a utopian dream, is enough to make you want to cry!

You can read here the sort of arguments being put forward in favour of the project. (This is a translation, from Spanish into English ).

I don’t want to be pessimistic but I’m sure that as usual the money argument is bound to win out especially as the local & national governments seem to be behind it too.

One day perhaps some people will realise what they have contributed to destroying. But probably not, because all that counts is business & money.

Hills must be removed in the name of progress & improvement. This has already happened in the area which is supposed to be an ecological coridor linking Jaizkibel to the mountain of Peñas de Haya. The area is now filled with warehouses in readiness for  tunnels through Jaizkibel linking the motorway to the port.

If you would like to OPPOSE THIS, please SIGN the petition (even though it’s very likely already too late, I prefer to try not to give up hope ):  I can’t find an English version, but it’s pretty easy to fill in : “Correo” means your e-mail, “nombre”=first name, “apellidos “= surnames.

And I almost forgot… my next exhibition will be in La Casa Zuloaga in Hondarribia (at the foot of Jaizkibel) from January 31st to February 13th.

And finally….Happy New Year everyone!

La calma que precede al super puerto

(El titulo tambien se refiere a una phrase corriente en ingles que es”The calm before the storm” – “La calma que precede a la tormenta”.

El Monte Jaizkibel era declarado como Lugar de Importancia Comunitaria de la Red Natura 2000 por la Unión Europea en 2004.

Entonces,  entre algunos de vosotros, igual resultara sorprendente descubrir que aqui esta planeado un gran puerto exterior o super puerto. Aqui se ve una foto para dar un idea del proyecto. Esta asociacion esta en contra.

Aun mas alucinante es este video, que con la musica como si seria algun sueño utopico, en realidad te hace querer llorar!

Se puede PARTICIPAR en una peticion (aunque probablemente no servira para nada, yo prefiero no abandonar hasta el final.)

Mi proxima exposicion sera en La Casa Zuloaga, Calle Mayor, Hondarribia desde el 31 de enero hasta el 13 de febrero.

Feliz año a todos. Urte berri on.

Le calme avant le super port

(Le titre fait reférance à l’expression anglaise “The calm before the storm” “Le calme avant la tempête”)

En 2004 le mont Jaizkibel a été déclaré une site d’importance du réseau Natura 2000 . Alors peut-être que cela suprendra certains d’entre vous qu’un énorme  super port exterieur sera construit ici.

Plus d’information ici

Voici une video encore plus outrageuse. La musique accompagnante pour faire penser à un rêve utopique, en réalité est plus pour faire pleurer!

Cliquez pour PARTICIPER à la pétition .

Ma prochaine exposition aura lieu à La Casa Zuloaga, Calle Mayor à Fontarribie du 31 janvier au 13 février.

Bonne année à tous.

14 thoughts on “The calm before the super port

  1. I do like the starkness of the tree against the swirling greens and the calm sea. It’s very effective.

    The shortsightedness of politicians and big business and the single minded pursuit of profit at any cost makes me despair sometimes (often). And economists make me scream – they don’t seem to grasp that growth (economic) cannot continue indefinitely. I used to know someone, a feminist (so I expected more ;-)) who trained as an economist though didn’t work as one, and she was also unable to think except in terms of making money. We used to have endless debates with me arguing that people in developing countries would be better off growing food for themselves, and her arguing for cash crops. I think they get brainwashed.

    I did try to sign the petition – I’m not sure if I succeeded or not though!

  2. Thank-you for your support Sarah -there are so many things in the world that leave you feeling powerless & it can get pretty depressing, so it’s always good to feel that there ARE at least SOME people who think that making pots of money is not the only goal in life. If we destroy the world to the point that it’s no longer fit for human life it’s not money we’re going to be caring about by then anyway.

  3. Yes, you’re absolutely right- money rules the world and always will. But evil prevails when good people do nothing, so I’ve signed up. Once again I love this painting. Your unique style is always a joy. The shadows in the grass really appeal to me, as do the colours and composition. I’m guessing this is dusk, it has that feel. Lovely work Sonya.

  4. This is dreadful!
    I have signed the petition.
    I hope you can put a halt on this.
    It is unfortunate that developments like this are conceived by ‘engineers’ who lack the empathy and aesthetics to preserve what is beautiful.
    The world desperately needs artists.
    This painting of yours is a beautiful, poignant reminder that all this is under our stewardship.
    As I write TATA, the Indian company is destroying swathes of bush in Northern Mocambique, uprooting ancient baobab trees to create irrigated fields of maize for bio-fuels. Of course all the game and birds are long gone, having been eaten by the starving population.
    Thank you for your caring

  5. Thank-you very much Stephen. Unfortunately though I can’t see this as not going ahead. I suppose people see their own possibilities of improving their lives at the expense of everything & everyone else, which is understandable if you are desperate & seems to be typically human even if you are not. (That’s not to say that other animals don’t fight over ressources as well – it’s just that as humans we should be more able to see the consequences of this ultimately on human survival).

    As your example shows, this of course is happening everywhere to a greater or lesser extent. A few people gain a lot temporarily while the rest are working just to survive & what choice do they really have.

    • Yes I agree – so many people are just surviving. And it takes just one act of greed to destroy years of care and conservation.
      Paintings like these can help us fight a sense of futility and just maybe could help one person change their point of view just enough to preserve some of the wild.

  6. Does anyone ever compare your paintings to serigraphs? I’ve done a bit of screenprinting over the years and I’m often asked if some of the drawings I do are prints.

    I mean this as a compliment. I enjoy the clarity of your landscapes very much. They remind me, just a little bit, of the work of the Markgrafs (

    Good luck with the struggle against the port. I’ll take a look at the petition.

  7. Yes, I have had a few similar responses. I agree that this particular painting falls more into that sort of category than some others might. I guess the specific subject partly influences my treatment. Art is a bit of a constant dialogue & it would be impossible to name all our influences, especially as we can’t even be aware of them all.

    I have done a bit of screen printing a long time ago, but I don’t have access to those facilities where I am now. I would quite like to give it a go again if I had the opportunity. I can happily say I enjoy the actual process of painting for its own sake; It’s a continual exploration so I don’t feel deprived!

    Thank-you for the link – I don’t know their work & it’s always interesting to discover someone new. It looks quite Japanese inspired, but I guess that’s not so surprising given the influence Japanese art has had, particularly on modernism & right into the present day.

  8. Totally agreed with human destroy their own world and all for the sake of money. I guess nothing much to say about that, may be it’s part of human nature. Not in sync with mother nature. Another amanzing painting. Really like all your works.

  9. Thank-you – Yes, I guess we humans have always destroyed things to a certain extent but when there were fewer of us I suppose the impact was generally less than it’s become these days.

part II . the rest of taipei

Now that I'm visiting one of my favourite cities in the world, Hong Kong, this week, continuing to write my entry about Taiwan seems so outdated. But... I still have to finish what I started so I'm just going to list a couple more of the ones I couldn't get enough of.

Most people who visit Taipei would know of Ah Zhong Mian Xian. They should know it cos it's definitely one of the most delicious things I had when I was there. Had in twice in fact! I loved that they threw pig's intestines in there (yes, I eat anything). Maybe standing outside the stall to eat made it tastier??! I was mistaken at first though cos I thought Ah Zhong serves Oyster Mee Sua but it doesn't. I must say Ah Zhong has come a long way since its pushcart-selling days. It even has a branch in LA now!

I never liked Mala Steamboats in Singapore cos the soups are just spicy with no taste whatsoever. Taiwan's Mala Steamboat, however, tastes totally different. The soup is so thick and flavourful and it's not overbearingly spicy so I can actually drink the stock. All the innards, meats and veges thrown in to cook and dipped into a special Sha Cha sauce left me wanting for more. Unfortunately though, I was already stuffed by then.

One thing you cannot miss out on when you visit Taipei is their desserts. What's great was that I was there in Summer so it was the perfect time to feast on the icy cold desserts. There's a whole lot of variety to choose from cos of different flavours, different toppings and even different ways to shaving the ice! My favourites were all the mango desserts I tried cos the fruits were always cut in big cubes, really sweet and juicy.

I've had quite a fair share of Muah Chee in Singapore but I've never had it bbq-ed like how I did when I was in Taipei. I had this while I was having a Yakiniku buffet. The white ones you see are the original flavour and the green one is with a green tea flavour. Texture is firmer than what we get here but still eaten the same way with rolling over crushed peanuts after bbq-ing. I'm told that this is sold on the streets too so it's quite easily available.

Side dishes in Taipei left a very deep impression on me. Mainly cos tofu is my "favourite-est" food and a lot of sides are tofu based. My favourite has got to be cold tofu with century egg drizzled with a thick soy sauce. It's not the normal black soy sauce you get back in Singapore. The texture and taste is almost like oyster sauce but without the oyster taste. It's hard to describe it but I loved it so much, I brought a bottle of the sauce home to eat with my tofu. Before you think I was crazy to bring soy sauce in my luggage, I wasn't alone on this. Pei did that too.

Paying a visit to Dan Shui was pretty special for me cos it's only there that I can get to eat a dish called Ah Gei. It's basically what you see on the left pic; fried tanghoon stuffed in tau kwa. Seems really normal so I guess most people would wonder what the fascination is about. I've heard about this dish years ago watching those Taiwanese food programmes and since it's a combination of 2 things I like, I've always wanted to try it. I got to fulfil that and the tanghoon was very tasty. The fried beehoon is also worth the mention cos the beehoon you get in Taipei is much finer than the ones in Singapore.

A couple of interesting things I learnt about Taipei and its food...
  • All buffets, no matter where you are, only allow a 2 hour seating. In Singapore, some people glue their butts to the chair at a buffet.
  • They can make their sauces pink. I'm still figuring out how it's done.
  • Regular milk teas serve tapioca pearls in a sago-like size. The ones we get in Singapore is only used in Bo Ba Milk Tea which basically just means big pearls in milk tea.
  • Pushcarts selling food are everywhere. The police will come and the stalls will run. 10 minutes later, they'd be back at the exact same spot.
  • Taiwanese love drinking bittergourd juice.
  • A lot of their food is starch-laden but you hardly see fat people around.
  • Fried quail eggs (sunny side up style) are sold as a street food. Singapore always serves it hard boiled.
  • Some sauces can taste quite queer and thus many Singaporeans are not accustomed to Taiwanese cuisine
  • Meat dumplings (Ba Zhang) are eaten with peanut powder.
  • Taiwan produces some pretty fantastic tasting instant noodles. Some even have real pieces of meat in them!
So I guess that's all for my Taiwan travels. Finally got through it. For me, Taiwanese cuisine was a totally new cuisine and I think if I hadn't visited the place, I would have never got to know exactly what Taiwanese food is like since it isn't so widely available in Singapore. I don't know when I'll be visiting again but I hope it won't be the last time I get to eat my favourites from this Taipei trip.

Sulli’s smile is the factor to breaking 11 years of age diff and forging close relationship with Kim HeeChul

f(x) Sulli talks about the thing which had her and Super Junior Kim HeeChul have such great brother-sister relationship.

It has been known that Sulli has been close with Kim HeeChul since she was young. Sulli had talked about her close relatioship with Kim HeeChul through a ‘Star Call’ video phonecall to fans.

She said, “Everyone knows that HeeChul seonbaenim always supports us? I’ve always been someone who smiles very often, and HeeChul seonbaenim was shocked that, ‘Ah! There is a child whom I can make her smile so much’.”

And because of this, the 2 were able to break the 11 years in age difference and continue to maintain a close relationship until now.

Sulli said, “I’m always thankful. And I want to say thank-you to him too. I hope HeeChul seonbaenim as well as Super Junior will continue to do well in the future.”

  1. Is it me or does Sulli kinda look like Sohee?

  2. @vs0ne sohee’s 19,.

  3. First I’d like to add that Heechul and Sulli are real God sibblings!!! Practically family just one of the reasons why they act so much like bother and sister.

    Second he is beautiful just got bless to have one of those faces that is sexy for a guy and prettier than most women. A celeb who would hide his identity dress as a girl just hold his lady’s hand. If that is sissy then me want!!!

    As for Sohee she stated after CTP in Singapore she likes someone who is funny and humourous. If you notice he suddenly dosen’t want to answer questions about who his honestly interested in unlike before. He dances around it and says stuff like this group is cute or ____ is cute. Yet if you pay attention to the small things like his ring tone (sohee part 2DT), gestures, birthday msg “I will love only one…”, his desire to keep personal life private, ideal type discription in the latest singles mag, and etc. all point to Sohee.

    • lol i prefer to think that hee has a liking for sohee that’s strictly admiring, because you know … sohee’s 17, n he’s 28?

    • yep! i think he really likes sohee sulli is like his sister is not a big deal uif you pay attention heechul do many things for soihee and he has more confidence with sulli like a sister not the way he act when sohee is near him

  4. whoa…i didn’t know that he was THAT old.

  5. Heechul is ugly.

  6. Heechul takes care of a lot of his dongsaengs. He’s actually a big softie even though he puts up a tough front<3

  7. im sooo envious of sulli..if i were a female idol under sm, i wanna haf a close relationship wif heechul 2..but, mayb i 1 more den a sister-brother kinda relationship.. =p

  8. Sulli’s smiley eyes look so natural unlike that one girl from Girls’ Day.
    Both are pretty but I prefer Sulli’s.

    • OMGGGG I TOTALLY AGREE…that girl i guess wants to be known for her eye smile just like how tiffany was super famous during ITNW days xDD… Sulli and Fanys eye smile is natural!!!

      that girl really pissed me off…theres cute and theres annoying !!

      • leave min ah alone.she n sulli just hav the same eyes.n sulli is more prettier than her. full stop

  9. uuuu~ i envy Sulli can have a very pretty and handsome oppa^^

  10. 11 years.. he’s only 27.. it’s so weird.. they’re both idols..

  11. i think if heechul wasnt 11years older they’d be dating by now. LOL

Mnet M!Countdown 05.08.2010 – Se7en kiss hello to his 2nd #1

On Mnet M!Countdown live broadcasted on 5th August, singer Se7en won his 2nd #1 for his comeback song ‘Better Together’.

Go under the cut for the other performance cuts.

13 Responses

  1. Congrats, Se7en!

  2. Congrats to Se7en!!
    Just a question though, why did Se7ven perform 2 songs on the show today? It’s not his special comeback… Or because he’s promoting both?

    • I just realized the same thing for 4minute and MBLAQ… Probably because they don’t have enough performers? Sorry I sound bitter but apparently not, just curious :D.

      • 4minute’s doing promotions for Superstar K as well, so that’s why they’re singing Superstar.

        MBLAQ and Se7en, probably just to fill out time.

      • it’s mblaq’s goodbye stage this week, so they are doing both songs. and they actually cut they songs so that both of them added together only makes up 3min+.

        like eltoshen said, 4 minute’s doing promotions for superstar k so they’re doing both songs. but i supposed they will stop soon? since they will be promoting in japan, right? (correct me if im wrong)

        not sure about se7en though. i was wondering abt that too.

  3. love the arm thing se7en does at 1:58 in better together ❤

  4. yes for the second time!! congrats SE7EN!!!

  5. a teary CONGRATS!!! Seven. you must win on mubank or inkigayo FIGHTING!!!!!!!!

    good vocal Infinite.
    Likin the other performances 4minute, my boys Mblaq.
    nice song and comeback Hwanhee.
    not likin the miss a song.

  6. congratz se7en he really deserve it

Spinoza and the Problem of Evil

This Tuesday the class on Spinoza was resumed again. It was cancelled last week because I had to prepare for an international workshop (so we have to move the final exam one week further to allow for a make up). Today we talked about one of the most serious problems in philosophy, that is the problem of evil. We tried to see how Spinoza and his concept of God could deal with this problem. And it is a very controversial one.

For a review, the problem of evil is how one can explain the apparent contradiction that happens when there is a God who is by nature benevolent and omnipotent on the one hand, and the fact that there are terrible things in the world such as earthquakes, tsunamis, genocides, ethnic cleansings on the other. How could it be that a benevolent and all powerful God could allow such montrosities to happen? Either God is not benevolent, since he allows these terrible things to befall us, or he is not all powerful, since he could not have prevented these things from happening.

The standard answer in theology is that we humans have free will. God created a world with evils in it because this would test the love of human beings toward God himself. Love would not be real if it is not tested; that is, if, despite of obstacles and hardships, humans still love God out of their free will. However, this has a problem of having God creating evils in the first place. What kind of God is he who puts obstacles to his creatures to prove that they really love him?

Well, I am not a Christian theologian, so I won’t talk any more about how the theistic God fares in the problem of evil. Let us look instead at what Spinoza has to say. According to one of the propositions in the Ethics, there is an astounding pronouncement: Everything there is, is in God, and God’s being reflects an infinite of attributes or properties.

This means that everything is in God from the beginning; furthermore, everything is an expression of God himself and partakes of his nature – since God himself is indivisible. This means that the evils are godlike too. There is no place for an evil to be except in God, and as God. This is indeed astounding, especially if one is familiar with the theistic conception of God.

So it appears that all the evils are parts of the one, indivisible God or Substance. But according to the standard problem of evil, this cannot be because that would mean that God is not benevolent and because the evils would be contrary to God’s nature. However, for Spinoza his God is totally impersonal. The typical problem of evil occurs when we are kind of let down by God. For someone whose family has just been struck down by a huge tsunami, he might question his belief in God, saying “Why did you do this to me?”. That is, he puts the blame on God for allowing this disaster to happen. But one can no more put a blame on Spinoza’s God than on the water itself when it struck. The tsunami flood is coming to your house forcefully, but do you say to the water, “Hey, water, why are you doing this to me? Why are you flooding me, taking away my possessions and loved ones?” You might continue cursing the water. But everybody knows that this is an absurd action. The water can’t take the blame because it just functions as a result from some prior events, such as a rupture in the tectonic plates undersea. And the rupture is caused by some other events, which can be fully explained by seismologists, and so on.

So who is to blame? Do you blame the moving tectonic plates? Or the underground force that moves them? Or any cause of that force? Or the earth itself for having been constituted in this way? All these are absurd of course. But this is Spinoza’s God. You can’t blame him, just like you can’t blame the continental plates for causing the earthquake. These events just happen because they are caused to do so. That’s it.

So what can we say, out of all this, for Spinoza’s God and the problem of evil. For natural evils like tsunamis, we say that they are natural events, which are themselves caused by further natural events. And the fact that tens of thousands of people died in Japan a few months ago because of the huge tsunami was just because they happened to live along the coastline hit by the wave. We do feel very sad for them, and if we are the Japanese directly hit by the wave, then we feel much more intensely. This is totally natural. But there’s no one to blame. Everything happens because the causes and conditions are such and such. When we understand this, we feel that there is less need to find someone to blame, which is not useful to anybody. Instead we focus our energies to helping each other in the time of need without worrying ourselves why the disaster happens to us and not to others or why a benevolent supreme being could do something like this.

And this is Spinoza’s way toward blessedness. We lead our lives totally in accordance with reason.

But what about the problem of evil? Spinoza would say there is no such problem. The “evils” are so because of our own limited perspective. This does not mean that the evils deliberately perpetrated can be condoned, such as the man-made evils such as the Holocaust, Pol Pot’s killing fields, and so on. We should do what we can, in fact we have to, in order to stop those evils, but there is no denial that they are parts of the natural order too. This make them real and palpable, all the more reasons for us to fight and defeat them.

    please excusle, but i after reading the comment of spinoza and evil, wondering about the buddhist viewpoint. being a follower of a gnostic non dualistic path, i have no problem with God -evil paradox, since we do not believe in the world as creation of God, but as effect of delusion or illusion, having no “truth in itself”.

  2. Gabriel Molieri September 6, 2011 / 2:04 am

    Self-reference and the development of the sense of Ego (a mere survival-related “entity”) can then be said to be the actual source of a sense of evil.
    If God is all loving and a sumum bonum, then the nexus of a sense of separateness from that sumum that perhaps develops so as to develop a point of reference wherefrom “God” studies itself is, by definition, going against the implied all-loving nature of the implied totality. Although never really separate, according to Spinoza, the illusion of a separate self creates is own self-referential vector that reinforces its “going away” from the “God” and towards the non-God.” Once the point of self-reference develops, Ego-centric love as related to survival of the (apparent?) organism, has to naturally superceed the love the totality might feel fro itself.
    Is the practice toward God then related to the re-focusing on universal Love and Harmony? All philosophies and religions appear to tell us so…

Implementing USB HAL

The Android O release moves handling of USB commands out of init scripts and into a native USB daemon for better configuration and code reliability. For the Gadget function configuration, init scripts (property triggers) are used to perform device-specific gadget operations.

In previous releases, these device-specific configurations were achieved through device-specific init scripts (using property triggers). Moving to a Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) design results in a much cleaner implementation that solves these problems:

  1. Operations such as writes to the kernel sysfs nodes could fail but not be propagated back to the frameworks code that sets the property trigger. As a result, frameworks incorrectly assumes the operations have succeeded even though they have silently failed.
  2. init scripts have a limited number of operations that could be executed.

HAL and Treble

The device-specific init scripts were used as a substitution for HAL layers to perform device-specific USB operations. USB (through ADB) is a primary interface for debugging system issues. Having a native daemon to perform USB configuration eliminates the dependency on the framework code so even if the framework crashes USB should be running.

Under the Treble model also introduced in Android O, all of the HALs are isolated from System services and are required to run in their own native daemons. This eliminates the requirement to have an exclusive USB daemon as the HAL layer nicely doubles as a USB daemon.

The default HAL implementation takes care of all pre-O devices. Therefore, there wouldn't be any device-specific work for the pre-O devices. O uses the HAL interface to query the status of USB ports and to perform data role and power role swaps.

New USB HAL interface needs to be implemented on every device launching on O. The default implementation should take care of Pre-O devices. The default implementation is sufficient if the device uses the dual_role_usb class to report type-c port status. Trivial changes might be required in device-specific USB scripts to transfer ownership of the typc-c nodes to system.

No new platform APIs are introduced.

VTS will test the new USB HAL.

There is a growing push toward greening cities as a response to urbanisation and climate change. This is because adding trees and other plants to urban areas provides many benefits that relieve us from the pressures of high density and congestion.

Urban greening regulates temperatures by providing shade, and cooling via evapotranspiration.

Plants also provide other ecosystem benefits by managing stormwater and providing animal habitat. Human well-being is also improved when we can see and be close to vegetation, reconnecting us with nature and improving our mental health.

These ideas are gaining traction and being supported by governments at all levels.

Local Councils in Sydney and Melbourne have green roof design guides and initiatives to encourage uptake of urban greening.

Adelaide City Council has also released a Greening section of the Adelaide Design Manual that includes Green Infrastructure Guidelines, as well as Greening Design Standards and Technical Specifications.

Even the federal government is getting on the bandwagon with the recent announcement from Environment Minister Greg Hunt for tools to help cities set urban greening targets.

But plants require organic topsoil to grow, and often not enough is provided for them. Urbanisation historically involves a process of removing topsoil and replacing it with sub-soil and concrete. Sub-soil does not have the necessary chemical and physical properties to support plant growth. Plants need the correct structure to not only physically support them, but also allow essential biological processes to occur.

This include air gaps in the soil, sufficient availability of water, and the presence of minerals. Healthy soils also need to have organic matter and other elements such as nitrogen and phosphorus to provide nutrients for growth. Then there are the active microbial constituents of top soil. These are the fungi and other living biological creatures that synergistically interact in the soil with the plants to enable exchanges between the soil, water, nutrients, and roots. Sub-soil does not have these properties and will not support plant growth.

Matthew Daniel from Tree Preservation Australia believes the soil we are specifying as a standard for topsoil does not have all of the necessary properties to promote healthy trees.

Daniel and his colleagues have detailed soil and plant health assessments for urban areas across Australia. They have found from these assessments that what is being constructed is often far from adequate to support a green city. Soil health is slowly decreasing to alarming levels through compaction, low soil moisture, nutrient toxicity, pollution and root zones devoid of soil microbiology.

He says “the top soil that is provided by the horticultural industry is often barely soil. It is a minimum standard that approximates natural soil, geared toward what the landscape industry can easily supply. This material is manufactured often from easily accessible green waste and other organic industrial by-products.”

He believes we need to take a new approach to our urban soils.

“Plants play a pivotal role providing energy to the microbial life in the soil and indirectly to all other life forms,” Daniel said. “The soil‐plant root associations are based on the complex interactions of uncountable microbes. Each go to ensuring the plant can continue its important role of maintaining healthy growth to then in return provide the nourishment the soil biological network needs to flourish.

green space

So what does this mean to how can we influence and build healthy soils?

Daniel says that for microbes to perform in the soil, the correct ratio of air space (25 per cent), water holding (25 per cent), minerals (45 per cent) and organic matter (five per cent) must be present. This is the habitat that regulates the types and amounts of soil life upon which healthy plants can then grow and function.

As he puts it, “the nutrients, physical structure and key biology of soils must be well managed to grow healthy soils and subsequently healthy plants, animals, people and landscapes.”

As simple as it might sound in principle, this new NPK concept of managing the health and function of any life form is challenging in our cities.

Changing rainfall patterns and extreme heat, not to mention the practices of construction and development itself, create trauma to the sets of living organisms within soil. It is their ability to withstand these changes that is a measure of their resilience, and that of our cities as a whole.

Daniel observes that the root to shoot ratio of trees is commonly compromised and not factored in design specifications. Along with the provision of inadequate soil volumes, he notes that the impact on tree protection zones is another major issue that is far too common on development sites to the detriment of the tree’s future.

He believes that an exciting new world is gradually being revealed as scientists learn the intricacies of the complex world beneath our feet.

He says “understanding and better managing soil and plant microbiology represents a powerful tool which people can learn to apply to great advantage in building healthier soils, plants, animals, people and landscapes.”

Along with the loss of top soil, there is a lot of competition for space both in the ground and overhead. Electricity, water, sewer, and communications services are all located in the same spaces that we need to place trees and other vegetation. In this competition, engineering services and traffic requirements usually win out over trees. Trees and planted landscapes are usually the losers in the fight for space.

Fried Green Tomato and Bacon Grilled Cheese

With crispy and slightly tart fried green tomatoes, a mound of gooey cheese, and several slices of bacon, this is the ultimate southern grilled cheese sandwich.

Fried Green Tomato and Bacon Grilled Cheese

Ok,ok, maybe not quite the ultimate. That would include pimento cheese. But this is pretty close.

fried green tomatoes1

The real star of this sandwich is the fried green tomatoes. They are one of my absolute favorite foods. I love them served as an appetizer, Fried Green Tomatoes with Peach Pepper Jelly Sauce , on a burger, or in a grilled cheese sandwich.

They only improve when paired with bacon and covered in gooey cheese.

Fried Green Tomato and Bacon Grilled Cheese

I wanted to use Texas Toast for this sandwich, but I went to 2 stores and couldn’t find any. How can that be?

It’s a shame too because 2 flimsy pieces of white bread can hardly contain all the yumminess in this sandwich.

Fried Green Tomato and Bacon Grilled Cheese

Fried green tomatoes are best cooked in bacon grease in a heavy cast iron skillet. But you can also use vegetable oil and a regular skillet. They will be delicious either way.

Summer is almost over! Time to enjoy those fried green tomatoes while you can.

Fried Green Tomato and Bacon Grilled Cheese
Crisp and tangy Fried Green Tomatoes, bacon, and lots of gooey cheese make this grilled cheese sandwich a southern treat.
Course: Sandwich
Cuisine: Southern
Servings: 4
Author: Christin Mahrlig
  • 2 green tomatoes, cut into 1/4-inch slices
  • 1/2 cup bacon grease, save from cooking bacon
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 2/3 cup cornmeal
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • sugar
  • 8 slices white bread, preferably Texas Toast
  • 8 slices bacon, cooked
  • 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 2 teaspoons chopped chives, optional
  • butter
  1. Whisk eggs, milk, paprika, and garlic powder in a pie pan or bowl.
  2. In another pie pan or on a plate, mix together flour, cornmeal, salt and pepper.
  3. Dip tomatoes into egg mixture and then coat with flour mixture.
  4. Heat bacon grease in a large cast iron skillet or regular skillet over medium heat. When hot, fry 4 to 5 tomatoes at a time. When golden brown on one side, flip and cook until golden brown on the other side. Drain on paper towels and sprinkle lightly with sugar and salt.
  5. For each sandwich, layer 2 to 3 fried green tomatoes on a piece of bread, top with 2 slices bacon, and about 1/4 cup Cheddar cheese and 1/4 cup Monterey Jack cheese. Sprinkle with chives and top with another bread slice.
  6. Heat a griddle or skillet over medium-high heat. Place a pat of butter on the surface of the pan. Use a spatula to spread it out as it melts. Place a sandwich on top and cook until golden brown. Lift sandwich off pan with a spatula, place another pat of butter down and flip sandwich over onto the melted butter. Cook until cheese is melted, turning heat down if it starts to brown too quickly.
Recipe Notes

If you don't have enough bacon grease, add vegetable oil.
The cheese will melt much better and taste better if you grate your own rather than using preshredded.

  1. Whoa! This is definitely one heck of a grilled cheese sandwich! We love getting fried green tomatoes as a treat when at a restaurant but I’ve never done it at home!

  2. Christin…this is such a nice sandwich…I have never thought in using green tomatoes…like the bacon and all the gooey cheese…yum!
    Have a great week 😀

RSP/VSP.  Can one transfer packages?

David Butler

I've been working with SteelHeads a few years but never with the RSP/VSP features that are in the older SteelHeads and in the newer EX models.  I have a question regarding RSP packages.

I have a SteelHead 550M and I am replacing it with a SteelHead EX 760L.  We are up and running on the new SteelHead as far as optimization goes, but now the TFTP /PXE package on the old system no longer works even though it's still connected to the network on it's primary interface.  I would like to move this package to the new SteelHead but I don't really know what my options are.  Can anyone chime in with some words of wisdom?  Thanks!!

No coffee yet

This is the 2nd birthday card I made my oldest son. The inside says "Don't make me hurt you! Happy Birthday" I feel like Stella sometimes in the morning. I actually should have made this for my youngest son, he needs coffee first thing in the morning, he just grunts for the first hour he's up, lol! I made this for a couple of challenges the first one is Drunken Stampers and its to make a birthday card. The sketch is from Moving Along with the Times. Charisma Cardz Challenges is to use spots and stripes. My stripes are a small section but they're there and lots of spots. The challenge at Stamp Something this week is to make something Happy and I've made a happy birthday card.

Scrapbook Calendar

My stamping pal and I each created a scrapbook calendar for a baby. So I've posted the first 4 months   of the calendar. I used one sheet of vellum sentiments for the whole calendar, the sayings fit so nicely. I printed the tag on the computer, very simple.

 I had seen a clock like the one below and had to recreate it. Its so true for a baby... eat, sleep, poop, repeat, that's all they seem to do!

I kept the scrapbook pretty simple.

The background paper is actually wallpaper (its hard to see but it almost has a marble look to it) and the giraffe and diaper pins are from the dollar store. I used the marble stamp on the blue paper so it matched the wallpaper.

 More to follow tomorrow.

  1. Ooooh and weren't they fun to do. Love yours Dawn! I need another one for late summer but it would have to be from August to August. Ahh crafting, always something to do!

Lemon Shortbread Star Field Fairy

Good morning and Happy New Year! I'm very excited that my first post of the year is for CCC Digi Creations as a Guest Designer. I got to work with a great image from Lemon Shortbread Star Field Fairy and as soon as I saw her I knew she was a winter fairy too!
I printed her twice and used prisma pencils/gamsol on shimmer white cardstock to colour her. I cut her out, her ponytail and collar to pop them up. I added blue stickles to add even more bling.  IRL she shimmers and looks so cool! Drop on by CCC Digi Creations and take a look at what the DT created and join the challenge!

I'm entering this into:
Whimsy Stamps: anything goes winter
Creative Card Crew: anything goes
Holly Jolly Christmas Challenge: anything goes

Stamps: Lemon Shortbread Star Field Fairy, sentiment Amy R Us stamps
Paper: shimmer white, shimmer blues
Ink: none
Other: prisma pencils, stickles, stampin up scallop punch, snowflake dies, frosty morning embossing folder

  1. Amazing what you did with this image. I would never have thought to take her out of her little field of Tulips and make her a Christmas Fairy. Fabulous idea and Thank you for joining us as our Guest Designer. Lisa CCC Digi Creations

  2. A gorgeous Christmas card Dawn and you've coloured the fairy in lovely... glad you could join in the challenge at CCCDC as our Guest Designer :o)
    Diane Louise (DT)

  3. So pretty. I love it. I'm following your beautiful blog. So talented.

FitQuest Lite – An App for Reaction Time Practice

Your Therapy Source told me about the Free app FitQuest Lite by JogHop and I downloaded it and then tried to figure out when I would use it.  It actually worked great for 2 kiddos that I work with that are completely different in terms of presentation.  One of the kiddos has Developmental Coordination Disorder and we work a lot on timing of movement that is self generated, that is cued, that is reactionary to something happening to the environment as well as the coordination of that movement.  The other kiddo has spastic quadriplegic cerebral palsy and we spend a lot of time working on bilateral hand use, standing balance, anticipatory balance control and reaction time.  By using this app I was able to work on all of these things.  They get the visual cues of the squirrel running down a path (whose movement is generated by the kiddo’s movement) and then have to react to the obstacles that come along the way.  This can include jumping over a snake or ducking to get away from an eagle.  In addition to the visual cues I have been able to vocally tell them when to jump or duck or whatever the task is requiring.  As they practice and get the repetition and are able to anticipate when to move to get the desired result and time the motion so that they make it over the snake, they need less and less verbal cues.  Their timing and reactions improve as well as their anticipatory reactions where they can plan a movement and their body knows what it needs to do in order to maintain their balance for that action.  For my kiddo that has spastic quadriplegia CP we didn’t do the leg motions as much but used the bilateral hand use to generate the movement.  He was able to make it jump by lifting the phone up, and duck by bringing the phone down.  The squirrel was able to move down the path by him shaking his arms slightly.  It was a great balance tool and really helped his bilateral hand use.

All in all this is a great app that’s free and can work on anticipatory reactions as well a timing, balance and bilateral hand use!

  1. Thanks for posting your experience with it.

Things to Say to Yourself While Experiencing Anxiety

Do you struggle with overwhelming, anxious, or negative thoughts?

A lot of us do. But a lot of us don’t know that we have the power to change or ease those thoughts.

“Your inner voice sometimes lies to you, and those lies can provoke powerful anxiety, anger, depression, panic and pain. Fortunately, since you know that thoughts create feelings and behaviors, you can retake control over your wandering mind with coping statements that bring truth and positive thinking back to the forefront.”[1]

I know what you’re thinking. Yeah right, it won’t work.

It doesn’t magically stop overwhelming thoughts but they do help you start to think realistically. It can also help gain control of your own thinking by replacing the negative thoughts with coping statements/affirmations.

So below are 16 things I tell myself when I’m feeling anxious:

  1. I can do this.
  2. Take a deep breath.
  3. It will pass.
  4. I’ve done this before. I can do it again.
  5. Just relax. It’s going to be okay.
  6. Today is just a bad day. Tomorrow might be better.
  7. I am strong and brave enough to fight through this.
  8. I should just try my best. That’s all I can do.
  9. I don’t have to be strong all the time.
  10. I’m not alone.
  11. I’m going to be okay.
  12. Am I safe? I’m safe.
  13. My thoughts don’t control me; I do.
  14. I’m okay.
  15. It’s ok to feel the way I’m feeling.
  16. What do I need right now?

But it can be hard to remember these during panic or anxiety attacks. So to get the best use of coping statements/affirmations, write them down or make a booklet of them to help you remember them.

These are also things you can say to your friends of they’re feeling anxious or overwhelmed (changing “I” to “you”). I find it really helpful when my friends say things like this to me. It’s encouraging and makes me feel like I’m not alone.

Clean up July 9, 2016

Stand firm, hold fast,
Reach upward to the ski
Bend to the winds of Heaven,
And learn tranquility.

Richard St. Barbe Baker Afforestation Area Webpage
Facebook: StBarbeBaker  Facebook group page
It is a fervent desire that the afforestation area is restored to its natural beauty to make an amazing nature viewing site. The Richard St. Barbe Baker Afforestation Area as a dedication to St. Barbe is an amazing tribute to ecology as the city grows to a population of 1/2 million by 2023. Please help us to care for the afforestation area, the “West Swale” wetlands and surrounding environment. Together let us restore the afforestation area to its original magnificence and wildlife habitat vibrancy!

A week-end day, Saturday July 9, 2016 was chosen to clean up the Richard St. Barbe Baker Afforestation Area. Saturday July 9, 2016 avoids the tick season. The city is kindly allocating a trash bin on site to facilitate the clean up efforts. The bin will arrive at about 8:00 a.m. There are morning and afternoon shifts 1:00 pm available for anyone wishing to volunteer. It is wise to dress for the weather – a hat, sunscreen, sweatband along with water bottle and gloves would be beneficial. If it is raining the clean up date will move to Saturday July 16, 2016. For more information

Location: Richard St. Barbe Baker Afforestation Area is south of Cedar Villa Road; west of the Civic Operations Centre (Bus Barns) and north of the Chappell Marsh Conservation Area land area.

Wikimapia Map with afforestation area location:

Google Maps with Off Leash area location pin at parking lot:,-106.7541901,15z

Parking available at the South West Off Leash Dog Park Parking Lot. Best access is by vehicle.
Coordinates 52° 06′ 106° 45′

Please help in the clean up efforts to protect the afforestation area, the wetlands, and the environment. Looking forward to your RSVP to then the city can be informed as to the number of community volunteers are available. Please let community associations, interested individuals, green groups, schools, churches, youth groups know about this event for their meetings, bulletins, announcements and newsletters as soon as possible There is a need to network and get the word out now that the cleanup event will take place on Saturday, July 9, 2016.

The following would also be beneficial. When you RSVP, please kindly advise if anyone has access to either
6/a 2 or 4 wheel dolly
There are both large items and smaller trash to remove from the environment on Saturday, July 9.
Cash donations to MVA for the RSBBAA welcome.
Many hands make light work or as the SK provincial motto goes … Multis e Gentibus Vires (“Strength from Many Peoples”)
or perhaps more fitting is the motto from Richard St. Barbe Baker International “Men of the Trees” organization. TWAHAMWE, an African word meaning ‘pull together’.

Motion City Soundtrack – Promenade/Carolina 7″

Posted: May 13, 2012 in Vinyl

One of Motion City Soundtrack’s earliest releases, the Promenade/Carolina 7″ is also one of the band’s hardest to track down. There were only 500 copies pressed, all on white vinyl. These regularly sell for close to $100 at auction. Your best bet to get one for a decent price is from someone having no clue what they have, either through a cheap BIN listing or someone mislabeling the listing. Sometimes it pays to thoroughly scour ebay instead of taking the easy route and just searching through the records category…

Knitting Camp 17

Not this past weekend but the weekend before that I went to my first ever NSW Knitter’s Guild camp. Camp is held every 2 years. Knitters and crocheters from across the state come together for a weekend of fun and relaxation. It is not what some would think “Granny Camp” as we had members age from 17 – 90 with a lot I would say in their mid 30’s – 40’s.  This year we had a guest knitting artist (yes I would consider her an artist as what she produces is amazing) Norah Gaughan who joined us for the weekend. Norah is a really nice person and I have been told was an amazing speaker.

So what happens at knitting camp? Over the weekend a series of free workshops and talks are held that members can participate in if they wish. If you don’t want to attend any of the organised events you can just sit and knit and enjoy the company of others who all share the same interest as you. Oh and you can always shop.. Who wouldn’t want to shop for yarn supplies. On the first day we had yarn retailers set up shop in a room for the day and members could shop as they pleased throughout the day. I brought a few extra knitting needles that day to continue making WIRES pouches. On the second day Guild members who owned shops or a business set up and sold their items. I may have gone a little crazy that day. After saying no no I don’t buy more special yarn as I never do anything with it I managed to come home with some yarn. The 2 plain blue skeins are called Smurfette, how could you not fall in love with them. For some random reason the magenta yarn also appealed to me and I am not a pink person but it felt so soft (it is silk) Each of these will become some sort of shawl I think.

I attended 2 workshops over the weekend. The first was on continental knitting. Continental knitting is a style where you hold your working yarn with your left hand to make your stitches. You form your stitches in a slightly different way to regular knitting as your working yarn is coming from a different direction. Once you get used to it this style is a faster way to knit. As I crochet holding the yarn in my left hand wasn’t an issue but working it around the needles felt all foreign. It is one of those things the more you practice it the more natural it will feel. I will do a dishcloth or something simple to get myself started on it I think.

The second workshop I did was with Wendy McDougall  a professional photographer who has snapped many great Australian bands as well as Australian identities. I really want to improve my photography skills so that I can take better photos of the items I make so it was an awesome experience to do a workshop with an industry professional. Wendy went through ways to take great shots and gave us heaps of tips. We went outside and practiced what she taught us, it was fun putting theory into practice. Inside she set up some lights and a backdrop and we got to take photos in a professional type photo shoot. You would never think a photography workshop would be at knitting camp but it was perfect for us who want to take photos of our work for Instagram or our blogs or those who just want to capture for their own private memories items they have made. You work so hard in making nice things it is lovely to have photos to remember them by as most of us give away a lot of things we make.

One member Kris Howard gave a talk “Knit One Compute One” . It was a really interesting talk and I do urge you to go and watch it, this is the shorter version but there are longer ones if you google it. She went through the similarities between knitting and computer coding. In my day job I do some code writing and it had never occurred to me that it was like a knitting pattern, every time I write a code a work now I shall have a slight grin on my face and think of knitting. Kris talked about how different people across the world are combing codes into knitting patterns, I really want to do something with a code in it now.

We played games at camp including knitting blind folded which I just had to have a go of because it sounded fun, you can see an Instagram photo here. We were allowed to see our needles to cast on and do the first row then the blindfolds went on and for 3 minutes we knitted. If you are used to not looking at your work all the time but feel the stitches on the needle like a lot of us do it was pretty easy to do, the hard part was working with such large needles I am used to 4mm not 12mm which felt like broom handles in my fingers.

Our sleeping quarters had bunk beds. The last time I slept on bunk beds was over 10 years ago on Contiki, I had forgotten how small they are. We were basically only using the rooms for sleeping so it didn’t matter. I do apologise again to my roommates for my snoring though…

Camp was a lot of fun. I can’t wait for the next one in 2 years time. It was great to have a weekend where you just sat around eating, knitting and crocheting. You have a chance to indulge in yarn porn, that is correct I had a lovely sweet old lady who would be in her 70’s tell me she told her friend there is yarn porn at camp, you look at the yarn, you stroke the yarn and then decide to keep it or not….. I want to be like that lady when I am in my 70’s.

6 thoughts on “Knitting Camp 17

  1. Thanks for the mention and the positive feedback Cassiy.. Much appreciated. I had a great time with you all at the workshop and am happy to hear you found it useful.. Cheers.. Wendy

    • Wendy, thanks again for all the great things you taught us. I have already started putting them into practice and actually stop and think before I take a photo.

  2. That sounds like so much fun. I really like the idea of a photography class at a knitting event; it makes so much sense now you mention it!

    • It really was so much fun. The photography class was a great idea, you had members who were wanting to take professional shots of their hand dyed yarn for their online shops all the way to people who just wants to take a nice photo so they can look back on an item. How often does the average person get a chance to have a professional say why don’t you try this and to give your photo that extra bit of difference to really show off your beautiful creation.

  3. Great post. Camp was fun, wasn’t it. I love the relaxing atmosphere of being with so many other knitters, interspersed with classes and talks. The yarn porn is irresistible too!

Abstract 3

He takes a big bite out of the sinking sands of time. Must be the time hungry timeless time keeper. Perhaps he slipped and fell… and fell… and well… forgot all about his business with the unitimely time haters. Old timers walking in with an assuming disposition to remind of their contribution to a cycle of fruitful moneyless times in the lives of the ones who were on their way to conquer an acient forgotton hill in a time frame, even the time keeper seemed to have given up for mythical. Well… to the best of times!
