BELL GARDENS >> Mario Beltran, spokesman for state Sen. Ron Calderon, D-Montebello, was released from probation earlier this year after his 2009 conviction on four misdemeanor counts related to campaign violations, according to official documents.

It was Beltran’s second criminal conviction. In 2007, the Calderon spokesman, a former Bell Gardens City Councilman, was arrested and convicted of filing a false police report.

Beltran said Wednesday his run-ins with the law have made him a better man.

“People believe that I have the capacity to do a good job,” Beltran said. “I have plenty of experience in the legislative arena — both in the Assembly and Senate — for many years. I have political experience. I live in the community. I care about this community and do my best to do a good job.”

Throughout his political career, the 36-year-old Beltran, who makes more than $60,000 annually, has worked in the offices of several area Democrats including Judy Chu and Gil Cedillo. He managed Calderon’s first campaign for state Senate in 2006.

Downey Mayor Mario Guerra, who has called on Calderon to resign, said he would like to see Beltran removed from his role as an employee of the state Senate.

“I believe in giving everybody a second chance,” Guerra said. “I’m not sure about third and fourth chances. He’s not a good example to us.”

Guerra said Downey officials have asked Calderon’s office not to send Beltran to their city. Instead of complying, city officials were met with intimidation from Calderon’s office, he said.

“We were told Beltran was hands-off,’ Guerra said. “And, if we pursued it, we would never get any bills passed on behalf of the city of Downey.”

Beltran said he was unaware of any such encounter.

Bell City Councilman Nestor Valencia, a Calderon critic, described Beltran as an embarrassment and not the sort of man who could be a role model in the Latino community.

In 2009, Beltran was convicted of four misdemeanor counts including failing to file campaign disclosure forms and failing to deposit cash contributions, all violations of the Political Reform Act.

The charges stemmed from Beltran’s failure to report how he was spending campaign funds and for failure to deposit and account for cash given to him by contributors.

He was sentenced to four years probation on the condition that he not hold elected or appointed office and not seek elected office or act as a lobbyist.

Beltran, elected in March 2005 to the Bell Gardens City Council, resigned after that conviction.

He also was convicted by a Downey jury of a misdemeanor charge of filing a false police report in 2007.

Valencia said Wednesday he was happy the FBI was shining a light on Calderon and those who work for him.

“That kind of politics can’t work in our community anymore.”

Los Angeles Councilman Cedillo, for whom Beltran worked between 1999 and 2002, has defended Beltran in the past.

Beltran also worked for then-Assemblywoman Chu, D-Monterey Park, in the early 2000s and later Calderon from 2006-07. He also was Calderon’s campaign manager when he was first elected to the Senate in 2006.

Glass Earth to raise C$500,000

Thursday 29th October 2009

Text too small?

Glass Earth Gold, which explores for the precious metal over some 17,000 square kilometers in New Zealand, plans to raise C$500,000 in a private placement.

The Wellington-based company, whose shares trade on the NZAX market and Canada’s TSX Venture Exchange, will issue 10 million units at 5 Canadian cents apiece. The units comprise one ordinary share and warrant to buy a share at 10 cents, exercisable over three years, the company said in a statement.

The funds will be used for general corporate purposes. The placement requires approval of the TSX. Shares of Glass Earth trade infrequently on the NZAX and were at 8 NZ cents yesterday. The TSX shares were last at 4.5 Canadian cents.

Separately, the company is issuing 1.1 million shares under arrangements to farm in to the Rise & Shine prospect and an Ophir Gold exploration permit, both in Otago.

Under the Rise & Shine agreement, announced in June, Glass Earth has an option to acquire 70% of CanAlaska Uranium’s Golden Fern Resources unit, which holds 70% of Rise & Shine, via the issue of shares and funding of up to $900,000 of exploration costs.

Golden Fern has a concurrent JV with OceanaGold Corp. over Rise & Shine.

In August, Glass Earth announced an option to acquire 50% of the Ophir prospect from Ophir Gold.

UPDATE: Two men 'critically ill' after suspected drugs use on night out in Sheffield

Tank nightclub on Arundel Street, in the city centre
Tank nightclub on Arundel Street, in the city centre

Two men are critically ill in hospital after they are believed to have taken drugs on a night out in Sheffield.

The men, both aged 20, are being treated in hospital after falling ill outside Tank nightclub, in Arundel Street in the early hours of yesterday morning.

South Yorkshire Police said both men remain in a 'critical and potentially life-threatening condition' and an investigation is underway.

A force spokesman said: "Police were notified at around 4.45am on Saturday, July 15 that two men in Sheffield had been taken to hospital and were critically ill, believed to be as a result from the potential consumption of drugs.

"The men, both aged 20, are thought to have been on a night out in Sheffield when they became ill outside of Tank nightclub on Arundel Street and had to be taken to hospital.

"Both remain in hospital at this time in a stable condition. Their families have been informed and an investigation is now underway."

In a statement posted on the Tank Facebook page the club said the two men had fallen ill in 'what appears to be a drug related incident'.

The statement added: "Shortly after arriving at Tank at around 2am two customers began to display signs of distress.

"Our staff called for medical attention and cared for the young men in the meantime.

"Tank is cooperating fully with the authorities as they investigate the incident and we maintain our zero tolerance to illegal drugs."

The club chose not to open on Saturday night 'out of respect' for the two men and their families.

The incident comes just weeks after a student died after taking drugs on a night out in the city.

Joana Burns, 22, had just completed a degree in mathematics at Sheffield Hallam University when she died after taking MDMA, also known as Ecstasy, on a night out with friends University of Sheffield’s Foundry bar on June 6.

Another student - a 20-year-old woman - also took drugs at the Foundry and fell seriously ill on the same evening. She remains in hospital, where her condition is now described as stable.

Police are investigating claims the woman bought the drug from two men on the premises.

Last week the bar was ordered to tighten its security. Members of Sheffield Council’s licensing-sub committee agreed that the bar could keep its licence but imposed 11 additional conditions in a bid to crack down on drugs.

On Dreams, Failures, and A Beanstalk

This isn't the type of thing I typically post on here, but it seemed appropriate for the season, so here it is:

It’s year-end (OMG! Already?! Helloooooo, 2015!), so it’s time to evaluate and perhaps, to recalibrate. Sizing up how you’ve done this year can be daunting—I know it is for me. Often, New Years is met with eager anticipation and a tinge of anxiety. Whether you’re comparing yourself to another individual or to your own well-intended goals at the beginning of 2014, it’s time. You’re in the mindset of tallying your own intentions, actions, and results, and coming to a conclusion—a conclusion which will affect your self-esteem. Most likely, whether you end 2014 with a smile or a frown is more related to how optimistic you are on the 364 other days of the year, regardless of the looming December 31 on the calendar, but that’s a different essay for a different day.

So I digress, to Jack and the beanstalk. Sure you know this story, and sure, you could summarize it pretty easily (as most Americans could). But when was the last time you really thought about Jack? Probably many years ago unless you’ve just seen Into the Woods, and then maybe you’ve recently given him a little more thought. In classic literature, the fairy tale version of Jack is a little less heroic than one might remember. Jack has a slew of failures throughout his story beginning with the sale of his beloved cow, Milky White. Milky White was Jack’s family’s source of food, and by some estimates, Jack’s best friend. Now a boy who would sell his best friend for 5 “magic” beans with no empirical evidence to prove their magic-ism is, by my estimate, not the smartest. His mother seemed to feel the same way, scolding him for his poor decision making, sending poor Jack to bed without supper, and throwing the useless beans into the family’s garden. Meanwhile, the beanstalk begins to grow overnight. The next day, Jack explores the new world that’s developed outside his window, and continues to make mistake after mistake. He steals from the giants, returns home, ascends the beanstalk again to steal again, finally kills the giant (not in the David-and-Goliath beautiful and courageous sense) and time after time proves that he isn’t the hero we’ve all been waiting for. Jack is a thief, yet he remains the protagonist to the story.

Whether or not Jack is a worthy protagonist could be argued, but it would be futile. At the end of the day, are any of us worthy protagonists? If I read a book about a character like myself, I would do a lot of eye-rolling and scoffing. But the part that makes me pause in Jack’s story comes before the beanstalk. It’s when Jack is in bed, alone and crying. For Jack, that moment stood still, feeling like an eternity, while the audience knows the beanstalk is growing just outside the window.

As Jack is crying, feeling hopeless, regretting his decisions (on an empty stomach, no less), that is when the magic happens. Jack’s poverty is dwarfed, quite literally, by a whole new world gleaming of gold. In the night, Jack had absolutely no idea what treasures would come with the new day. He thought his moment of despair was an eternity of despair, yet he was so wrong.

So now, as I’m ending 2014 and beginning to begin again, I’m thinking of Jack. I think of Jack when I feel a loss. When I feel alone, when I feel like I’ve failed, when I’ve given up my best and gotten nothing in return, even when I’ve made the wrong choices. When you’re feeling down, remember to look up. Because in that moment, you’ll never guess what beanstalk might be growing.

Thanks for sticking with me through 2014, friends! I'm looking forward to next year and the beanstalks we can climb together. :)

P.S. If you're into this type of thing, I've written some more like it on Medium.

Former local doughnut shop retools, plans to go national

The Warren Sentinel

FRONT ROYAL — Naughty Girls Donut Shop, which began in Front Royal as the realization of a 16-year-old girlís dream, will soon become a national chain.

The doughnut shop opened in 2014 in the Riverton Commons and operated there for about two years, co-owner Natalie Ramos said.

The owners have since rethought the brand and gained an investment from SNM Global Holdings to aid expansion.

A Sterling shop is set to open Oct. 1, with future locations planned for Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, New York and Las Vegas, she said.

Natalie Ramos described the Front Royal location as a "mom-and-pop shop," but it was really a mother-daughter venture. It began when her daughter Tiana Ramos, then 16, worked as a baker at Fauquier Hospital in Warrenton. A doctor nicknamed Tiana "little naughty girl" because of her tattoos, Natalie Ramos said.

Tiana dreamed up the bakery and mapped it out on a vision board. Residents of Linden at the time, they chose the former Quiznoís shop in the Riverton Commons as an ideal location.
Quiznos soon closed, and "long story short, that vision board came about," Natalie Ramos said.

Naughty Girls Donuts faced some negative community feedback due to the name and pin-up girl theme, but Natalie Ramos said they do not regret time spent here.

Front Royal was a "great learning experience" and "we appreciate everyone that did come and support the shop, we're grateful for them," she said. While the store did "fairly well" in Front Royal, it needed some tweaks, she said.

Some of those tweaks will include larger store spaces and menu additions. They plan to get liquor licenses, which would allow for "drunken doughnuts," Ramos said. Other new offerings will include doughnut sandwiches and milkshakes.

While Tiana Ramos focuses on college, Natalie is taking over the shop to "get it to where it needs to be for her."

If the store gets big enough, they hope "to come back to Front Royal and give back to Front Royal for the things they've done, and thank those that were by our side to help us."

"Whether we open up another one there, or we just come and do a big celebration for the town and thank them for all of their support, for those that did support us," she said.

One Championship Adds Anatpong Bunrad-Geje Eustaquio Rematch to May 26 ‘Dynasty of Heroes’

By Jordan Breen May 8, 2017

The Singapore Indoor Stadium in Kallang, Singapore has a fight-heavy schedule on the horizon, but just over three weeks before the Ultimate Fighting Championship turns up for UFC Fight Night 111, One Championship is back at the venue with “Dynasty of Heroes.”

The promotion confirmed two additional bouts for the May 26 event on Monday, announcing a 135-pound rematch between former One title challenger Geje Eustaquio and “Mak Mak” Anatpong Bunrad, as well as a 152-pound catch-weight contest between two grappling standouts, Jeremy Meciaz and Chen Lei.

Eustaquio last saw action in December under the One Championship banner, suffering a submission loss to Finland's Toni Tauru in less than four minutes. It was the 28-year-old Filipino fighter's first loss since April 2015, when he met Bunrad for the first time at 125 pounds, dropping a close split decision to the Thai fighter at One Championship 26 in Manila, Philippines (online betting).

Bunrad hasn't fought since December 2015, where he lost a split decision to Gianna Subba. The 30-year-old was scheduled to face Eugene Toquero in May of last year before the bout was canceled.

China's Lei, 28, is a Brazilian jiu-jitsu exponent who recently captured a tournament title at the Shanghai Open BJJ. Meciaz is making his pro MMA debut after establishing himself as one of Indonesia's preeminent grapplers.

Sensational Snowman - Part 1

Thursday, February 10, 2011

As winter approached, I noticed the go-to plot development in children's programming became building a snowman.  Bear picked up on this from the first winter themed Caillou rerun and started demanding that we build a snowman before the first flurries stuck to the grass.

Of course we take advantage of our snowy sensory wonderland and have fun outside whenever possible, but as Patty pointed out, when you live in the Midwest it's not always in the cards.  -20 days (and my SPD kiddo who generally can't handle wind no matter the temp) means an awful lot of time stuck indoors.

Since building a snowman was what Bear wanted, one recent frigid afternoon I decided that's what we would do.  I looked for every possible way to work a little of his sensory diet into the paper snowman fun.  It was such a hit with Bear I decided to share it here.

My favorite part about this activity is that there are lots of natural breaking points, so you can choose to do it all at once or in sections, depending on your child's attention span.

Uuum, yes. I'm this nuts.

Basic Supplies
- large paper
- glue
- tape
- if no optional supplies on hand, markers or crayons to create decorative elements

Optional Supplies
- puff balls
- felt
- googly eyes

We were lucky enough to score a giant roll of paper from a friend who was discontinuing an eBay business and no longer needed it as packing material.  Easel paper is what we used to use (we get our easel paper at Ikea for about $5 a roll).  I also just learned you can ask your local newspaper office for the end rolls of newsprint - apparently they give it away for free.

We also love the giant roll because it weighs a ton and Bear gets a little heavy work rolling it out.

Obviously you need 3 pieces of paper sized small, medium and large.

- if your child is capable, let them determine the sizes (Bear's not there yet)
- if your child needs the input, let them tear the sheets off by hand
- if your child needs the fine motor and/or grip practice (like Bear), let them cut with scissors

Bear's OT recently suggested we draw lines for him to practice cutting on, so that's how we went with it.

Next step is a classic sensory diet staple: crumpling up paper.  Let them get it out of their system, and then you'll need to help a bit.

- crumple the paper around your hand to help create a flat front (for later decorating)
- tape the crumpled back end so the whole thing stays put

Time to break out the glue.  Squeezing the glue bottle is a nice input, so I resist my urge to control the situation and simply cover the whole table with paper so he can glue to his heart's content.

The glue needs to dry, so this is an ideal breaking point.  The first time we made one we did this half before lunch, and the glue was dry enough to move on after we'd eaten.

For us, it was also important to verbally prepare him for the break (he really wanted to glue eyes on and talked about it the whole time).  I also discovered it was really dumb to let him see the craft box before we were ready for its contents, because he was so focused on the puff balls, googly eyes and pipe cleaners it was hard to keep him on task.

We learned easiest way to keep the paper balls together in snowman form while the glue dries was to tape the whole thing together.  We used a tape that removed easily since it's no longer necessary after the glue dries.

You'll have to use your judgment on the taping.  Obviously it's a nice tactile and fine motor exercise.  Bear wanted to help so badly we let him try, but for us it would have been better if we'd just let him squeeze glue and then quietly taped it after he transitioned to something else.  As it was, this was how we ended this part of the project.

  1. Too cute! Looks like fun!

    Brian can easily use an entire roll of tape in under two minutes ;)

Stadium of Light prepares for One Direction concert

One Direction.
One Direction.

WITH less than a month until One Direction kick off their Where We Are world tour at Sunderland’s Stadium of Light, promoters are urging all those attending to make sure they are aware of all the safety provisions in place.

With more than 50,000 youngsters attending the gig – one of the biggest concerts ever staged at the stadium – safety has been given top priority by the organisers and parents and guardians of are being advised to check the designated traffic-free pick up and drop off points because roads immediately surrounding the stadium will be closed on the day.

Parents arranging to drop off youngsters before the show or collect them afterwards are advised to use the “park and walk” provision – utilising city centre car parks and then meeting their children at the official rendezvous point, the Sheepfolds Industrial Estate, close to St Peter’s Metro station.

With the show set to end at about 10.15pm, city centre car parks will remain open late and Tyne and Wear Metro will be running extra trains before and after the concert as well as extra local bus services on the day.

Sunderland AFC’s head of safety and security, Paul Weir, said: “We want everyone to have a safe and enjoyable experience. We are expecting a higher than normal number of children and young people in attendance for this show and are asking parents to be extra vigilant and ensure that they and their children are fully aware of the safety messages and procedures.

A designated “found children” station will be in operation at the Sunderland Aquatic Centre – which is directly adjacent to the Stadium of Light.

Concert-goers are also being advised that once inside the stadium to acquaint themselves with their surroundings and to nominate an area to go to should any of the party get separated, if you do become separated from your child or parent when inside the stadium please alert the nearest steward.

In advance of the concert, free identification wristbands will be available to all valid ticket holders aged under 18.

The wristbands include space for parents or guardians to fill in their name, mobile number and seat number to assist in reuniting parents and children in the event that they become separated, or if special treatment is required from the NHS Ambulance Service who may need to contact the parent or guardian.

The wristband does not gain you entry to the concert and that anyone attending the concert must be in possession of a valid ticket.

The wristbands will be available from a number of locations, including:

* Stadium of Light Ticket Office, Sunderland;

* At any of the nine Nexus TravelShops, all conveniently located either on or next to a Metro station;

* NewcastleGateshead Visitor Information Centre, Central Arcade, Market Street, Newcastle upon Tyne;

* Customer Services Desk at The Bridges Shopping Centre, Sunderland

The identification wristbands will also be available on the day from Northumbria Police cadets, stewards and special meet and greet teams, who will be offering assistance at entry points to stadium village.

Mr Weir added: “There will be a higher number of trained staff on duty at the concert to ensure the safety of all those attending but we need the help of parents to make the day is a success.

“If accompanying children to the event then be responsible, make sure you are aware of the safety provisions and meeting points around the stadium and make use of the free ID wristbands.”

Sunderland AFC would also like to advise that as the stadium prepares for the concert, construction and building work will be ongoing until the day of the concert. To ensure the safety of everyone attending, there will be no queuing permitted in the days prior to the show.

* Check the designated website for all the latest news and information about the concert.

If you’re one of our readers who has marveled incredulously at the meteoric rise of Mansur Gavriel‘s simple, traditional bags, some new research may help explain the phenomenon a little more clearly. According to a studyperformed by NPD Group and e-commerce firm Stylitics, younger consumers are much less interested in big, traditional luxury brands than their older bag-shopping counterparts.

The two companies set out to determine what influences young consumers to invest in a new bag, and according to their results, the way millennial shoppers view buying a new bag “seems closer to buying a car than to buying clothing.” Consumers under 35 do more preliminary research, much of it on social media, retail sites and elsewhere on the Internet, before purchasing either online or in a brick-and-mortar store, and that’s true regardless of price point.

Perhaps the most interesting finding, according to Fashionista, is that millennial shoppers listed quality and style as the most important factors in their handbag-purchasing decisions, which outpaced the rate at which older shoppers favored those criteria. As Fashionista points out, that leaves a wide-open space for brands with little name recognition but a strong value proposition to win customers, and that’s good news for buyers of all ages.

Custom-Made Or Original Quality Fake Birkin Bag: Where, How Much And Why

Categories：Other Brands

Now here’s the thing: the Birkin is one of the most iconic and also one of the most expensive handbags in the world, so if you want your fake Birkin bag to pass off as authentic, don’t expect it to be cheap.

In my last post on Hermes I shared what I considered to be the best replica Hermes bags sites for different budgets. Even if a fake Birkin bag is not original quality and has some flaws, it can still look amazing and very hard to spot as a fake. But for those of you who are looking for flawless replicas, then custom-made Hermes replica bags are the only way to go. It’s amazing that nowadays you can find Hermes knock off bags made of original leather with original hardware and handstitched too!

Customized Hermes Birkin Bag

Personalized Hermes Birkin Bag Is A Thing

There are a few replica sites that offer Hermes fake Birkin bag customization services but I don’t trust all of them. Here are the sites I know for sure that are not scam. Here are the pros and cons for each of them: (Uncle Bench) Custom-Made Fake Birkin Bag

During the years, I’ve received some of the best replica handbags reviews for this site. The problems with this site usually revolved around their poor communication and long shipping time but never around the quality of their bags. They’ve always been a top site for replica Hermes bags and this hasn’t changed in all the years they’ve been on the market and they’ve also improved their communication a lot lately.

They don’t offer just handmade quality fake Birkin bag but also other popular Hermes designs, like the Kelly Hermes replica, the Constance bag or wallets.

Pro: they offer plenty of information on their custom-made Hermes bags. You will find two very detailed blog posts on their site on authentic Hermes leather and on different grades of Hermes. These two posts cover pretty much anything you would need to know about the leather they use and the three different grades of Hermes replica they have: authentic quality, best hand-made and imported leather. I know this may sound like the same thing, but they’re not. This means that you actually have three options for custom-made fake Birkin bag depending on your budget.

Uncle Bench Different Grades of Hermes Quality

Uncle Bench Hermes Grades Comparison

For custom orders you can either send them an image of the Hermes bag you want or write a very detailed description so that they understand exactly what you want.

They will also send quality control pictures for you to approve or disapprove, which is great because they will ship your order out only after you’ve agreed it’s what you wanted.

Cons: They do not offer a guarantee in case the package gets seized, so you won’t get neither a reship not a refund. They do offer repair services and free replacements parts if needed.

You need to be patient if you decide to order your authentic-looking fake Birkin bag from them, especially if it’s a custom-made bag. But it will probably be worth it.

Payment methods: Western Union and Bank Transfer only.

Price range: 1,180 USD – $8, 800 for the replica Birkin bags shown on their site. Imported leather fake Birkin bag is the cheapest and custom-made can be more expensive. Original Quality Replica Hermes Bags

This Hermes replica bags site has great customer service. Everyone who ever dealt with Tracy was happy with the communication and the way Tracy treated them. This is a site I trust and they have a good return policy too. Most replica sites don’t cover the case where the package gets seized by customs but they do. Just like they state on their site, a risk-free return policy like this is rare. In case that happens, they will either deliver the package again or offer a full refund. Their return policy definitely stands out.

Their original quality Hermes replica bags look great but you have to be really careful with the stamp because unfortunately not all their fake Birkin bags have great stamps. But their quality control staff will send detail pictures of any part of your knock off Birkin bag before shipment, so if you find any defect, they will delay shipment until it’s fixed.

Just like in the case of UB, you need to be patient with special orders like this and it’s highly understandable if you ask me. Once you approve your purchase, the decision is final, you can’t change the products. Also very understandable, nothing to be worried about. It’s like ordering a custom dress meant to fit your body perfectly and then decide you no longer want it. You just can’t do that.

Price range for an original quality fake Birkin bag varies from $750 (Birkin 25) to $12,380.00 for on original crocodile Birkin. Pretty shocking, right? But the regular price varies from $980 to $1,280. Original Quality Crocodile Leather Replica Birkin Bag Genuine Crocodile Replica Birkin Bag original quality replica Birkin bag stitching options: machine stitching, hand stitching outside and machine stitching inside or full hand stitching for exotic leather fake Birkin bag but it’s really expensive. And I mean REALLY!

Payment options: Western Union or MoneyGram only for their most expensive bags. They also take Bank Transfer for some of the bags. Custom-Made Hermes Knock Off

Luxeche is a different kind of site. Unlike Hermessale or Uncle Bench, you can’t see detail photos of their fake Hermes bags on the site. According to them, this is their way of stopping others from stealing their photos.

They also offer less information on their custom-made Birkin bag knock off. They say they will send pictures of the bag before shipment and solve the problem if there is one but only after you have already made the payment. For customs orders you need to choose the material, size and all the other details or even personalized stamps. But there are additional charges for special demands like these. Still cool if you ask me. Fake Birkin Bag Special Order

Fake Birkin Bag Custom-Made Service on

Please be careful, their goods are non-refundable and custom-made goods cannot be exchanged. In my opinion, their returns & exchanges policy is the worst in this list. They’re my least favorite for custom made fake Birkin bag but maybe I’m wrong. Please share some feedback if you’ve ever ordered from!

Payment options: Western Union and Bank Transfer only.

There’s no mention of the prices, but according to them all their bags are 100% hand-stitched, so if that’s true, I’m guessing they’re not cheap.

Pro: they make custom hot-stamps too and they offer a wide variety of leather types and colors.

Their custom-made takes 10-30 working days so again, if you decide to order from this site, you need to be patient. Custom-Made Hermes Replica

This site offers custom-made products as well. I’ve never ordered or received reviews of this site, so unfortunately I don’t have first-hand information on it. All I can tell you is what I’ve read on their site but if any of you knows more about this replica bags site, please share.

What I’ve noticed is that some of the photos on their site are the same as on, with the same prices too. But since I don’t know for sure if they’re related in any way or not, I’d rather recommend because I’m sure about them. Hermes Replica of Your Choice

Custom-Made Hermes Replica on

What I like about they are willing to send a piece of leather sample with your order and if you want a fake Birkin bag color they don’t show on their site, they will communicate with their factory and let you know if they can provide that particular color for you. A customized bag takes 10-15 business days to make.

It seems they are willing to send pre-shipment photos too.

Leather options: imported leather from Italy – higher quality and Brazil imported leather – not as soft. Their exotic leathers are actually made of local leather (so China leather), so don’t expect great quality.

Please note that their customized fake Birkin bag is just an opportunity to choose a color. But their leather quality is not as good as one the other sites I’ve mentioned and they don’t make handstitched bags either. So they’re not even in the same league as the other replica sites.

Payment options: Western Union, MoneyGram and Bank Transfer.

All You Need To Know About The Replica Birkin Bag

These sites I’ve mentioned are not your regular Hermes knock off bag sites and I’m not saying this like it’s a bad thing. On the contrary, they took the replica game to the next level and that’s why the prices may seem too spicy for replica bags. But if you think about it, you’re still saving a lot of money and people will actually believe you are wearing the real thing.

If you have any other questions on custom-made fake Birkin bag, let me know!

Best Replica Hermes Bags Sites For Different Budgets And Quality Grades

Categories：Other Brands

It’s been a while since my last post on replica Hermes bags but in the meantime my readers have kept asking me about different Hermes replica items, mostly the fake Birkin bag but also the Kelly Hermes replica or the Hermes Dogon wallet replica.

Replica Hermes Bags Review

It’s also been long since the last PurseValley review, so I’m going to cover them both in this post. So if you want to find about the best places to get your Hermes knockoff bags and wallets right now, check it out!

In the last replica Hermes bags reviews we’ve seen a Birkin bag knock off from and one from AliExpress. They both looked good for the budget but of course they had some flaws too. Different people have different expectations and different budgets for Hermes knock off items. So since we’ve seen how some of the more affordable look like, now it’s time to see a medium-priced replica Birkin bag from

You can find much more expensive Birkin replica Hermes bags out there but even then the price varies from somewhere around $900 to over $2.5k depending on a number of criteria. But I will get back to those later.

Replica Birkin Bag – Review

“Hi Eva,

I’ve been a long time reader of your blog. I’ve also made a few purchases made off of your recommendations throughout the various comments. So first off, thank you!

Purse Valley had an amazing Black Friday special where if you purchased anything over $500 it would automatically be half off. How could I resist? I had always had my eye on a Birkin and a few other items so I went ahead and splurged.
My issue is with the Birkin 35. I do think it’s lovely but honestly don’t know much about them to be sure it doesn’t look bad, so I would love your opinion. The few things I have noticed are that the stamping has some smudging. See if you notice it? It also only says Hermes-Paris on one strap, not both, I’m not sure if this is normal? There is also no stamping on the backside, although on the right flap, it looks like a very faint R. Now, the average person would not notice these things, but I do have some nosy, busybody friends who might be bold enough to look a little harder, especially since I am hoping to pull this off as authentic. I read on another review on PV that another person had a smudged stamp her husband sort of scraped it to look better.

Attached are various photos of the stamping, stitching, lock & key…etc
Thank you so much for your time, I can’t wait to hear what you think!”

I actually think the knock off Birkin bag in this PurseValley review looks really good. It is obviously made of quality leather and the stitching is neat. I would like to make it clear that the “Hermes-Paris” should be engraved only on one strap, not both and this is definitely not a flaw. The hardware engraving is impeccable! It is thin and refined, just like on the authentic Birkin. My friend was right about the faint “R” though, it should be more clear.

If you’re on the market for the most authentic-looking Birkin bag knock off or custom-made replica Hermes bags, I think the real battle is between Uncle Bench and Luxeche. Hermessale also offers original quality Birkin replica Hermes bags, Kelly Hermes replica, Hermes Constance wallet and even belts but they don’t have 100% hand-stitched bags, just exterior hand-stitching and interior machine stitching. And to be honest I’ve noticed that some of their expensive replica Hermes Birkin bags have bad stamps, so they wouldn’t be my first recommendation for those who don’t mind spending more on the most authentic-looking replica Hermes bags. Original Quality Replica Hermes Bags vs Normal Quality

A while ago a friend bought one of their cheaper Hermes Birkin bags and even though she was satisfied with the shipping time and the customer service, she wasn’t very happy with the bag logo:

“Hi Eva,

I stumbled across your page and I was enamored by your wealth of knowledge. Scrolling through your posts, I found many referencing the Hermes Birkin and I was intrigued to purchase. Not knowing much about the replica business, I decided to purchase a lower priced handbag as a first time buyer. Fast forward to my purchase from Shipping was fast and communication was good. Unfortunately, I noticed the stamp was sloppy so I reached out to Tracy to inform her of the imperfections. I will add in the email response I received from Tracy as well as photos of the logo.

Surely, I know that a bag that is priced at $900 is going to have more of an authentic look and feel compared to that of a bag priced at $300. Having already counted my losses, I would like a second opinion.”

Replica Hermes Bags – Normal Quality

Here is what Tracy from answered:

For the photos, the logo is very clear. For the local leather $255 bags, the logo is already very good. If you want better quality ones, I suggest you to buy our original leather bags next time. Many of our customers love our original leather bags. You can refer to the reviews from them.

For original leather bags, most are not in stock. And we mainly take customized orders for original leather bags and it would take about 20 days after we get the order and payment. If you want very good quality, we recommend the original leather bags. And we only take western union and money gram payment for original leather bags and we offer 10% discount for the payment options.

The main difference is the leather material, hardware material and the workmanship. The original leather is imported from Italy and it’s very close to the authentic ones. It’s as soft as the authentic ones. The hardware and the logo stamp are very good too. Besides, all original leather bags come with indented edges and beeswax stitching.

The normal leather bags are made of our local leather. The quality is also very good, but it’s not as soft as the original leather. And there is no indented edges on them. And they just come with dust bag.

Custome-Made Replica Hermes Bags

I will write a different post on Uncle Bench vs Luxeche custom-made replica Hermes bags if you girls are interested. There are a lot of things that are worth mentioning about different grades of Hermes replica quality, different types of leather, payment methods, shipping time and return & exchange policy, so please leave a comment if you want to know more about custom made replica Hermes bags!

Singapore will remain competitive amid restructuring: Lim Hng Kiang – Channel News Asia

SINGAPORE: Singapore must continue its move towards delivering higher value-added activities and innovative capabilities to stay competitive, said Minister for Trade and Industry Lim Hng Kiang on Monday at a Europe Day lunch event.

Mr Lim said that quality growth is needed to keep Singapore’s economy vibrant and create good jobs for locals.

He added that despite the current rising cost environment, Singapore will ensure it maintains its strong business fundamentals and conducive regulatory environment to attract investors.

Mr Lim also highlighted the importance of Singapore’s connectivity in giving firms the flexibility to source inputs from various countries and attracting them to set up regional operations in the country.

To this end, Singapore is working towards establishing the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership and Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP).

This is in addition to the 20 existing regional and bilateral Free Trade Agreements (FTAs).

One of the most recent FTAs launched is the EU-Singapore FTA,

Initiated last September, Mr Lim said the EU-Singapore FTA can give a boost to economic ties between ASEAN and the EU, and pave the way towards an eventual EU-ASEAN FTA.

Young Taiwanese choose China jobs over politics
By Amber WANG
Taipei (AFP) Aug 20, 2017

Taiwan has long seen its international allies switching allegiance to an ascendant Beijing, but now there are also fears of a brain drain of the island's youth as they pursue careers in rival China.

Cross-strait tensions have soared since China-sceptic Tsai Ing-wen took power last year, with Beijing cutting all official communication.

China still sees the self-ruling island as part of its territory to be reunified, but young people in particular have increasingly developed a sense of pride in their Taiwanese identity.

They have been at the forefront of anti-Beijing sentiment in recent years, famously occupying Taiwan's parliament in protest at trade deals with China in the Sunflower Movement of 2014.

However, with monthly starting salaries for college graduates unchanged at below Tw$30,000 ($1,000) since the 1990s and property and consumer prices spiralling upwards, some are now taking a more pragmatic approach.

China is also wooing young Taiwanese talent in what analysts say is a "soft power" push to sway political sentiment.

Katherine Wang, 33, quit kindergarten teaching in Taipei and co-launched a business in May offering a variety of courses for young Chinese women in southeastern Xiamen city, saying she feels "hopeless" about Taiwan's economy.

"I see a ray of hope in Xiamen and working there makes me happy. I want to make a name for myself and my partners and hopefully expand our business to all over China," she explained.

Wang receives free housing and office space as an incentive from the Xiamen city government, an example of the perks offered by provincial authorities, which also include generous grants.

According to China's Taiwan Affairs Office (TAO), over 6,000 Taiwanese young people are working or interning at more than 50 youth start-up bases launched since 2015.

Top Chinese political and business leaders, including Premier Li Keqiang and Alibaba founder Jack Ma, have also encouraged Taiwanese youth to chase careers in China.

While Wang says she has no strong political views, others who do are putting them to one side for jobs.

One twenty-something has opted to work in China even though he supports Taiwanese independence -- a concept intolerable to Beijing.

"I just focus on how to do my job well," the young worker told AFP on condition of anonymity, saying he hoped it would be a stepping stone to an international career.

"My Chinese colleagues sometimes say things like 'Taiwan is a part of China' but that's their freedom of speech," he said.

Despite being a fully fledged democracy, Taiwan has never announced a formal split from China. Beijing has threatened military action if it ever did.

- 'Carrots' for youth -

There are already well-established business links between China and Taiwan.

Taiwanese manufacturers flocked to the mainland to take advantage of its resources and cheaper labour after restrictions were lifted in the late 1980s.

China is also Taiwan's biggest trade partner and market, with exports there totalling $112 billion -- 40 percent of last year's total.

But the youth links have an extra dimension, says Shih Cheng-feng, a political analyst at National Dong Hwa University.

"China realises that it needs to take a soft approach and use 'carrots' to attract (young people) in the hope that they will have some impact at critical time, such as the presidential election," Shih told AFP.

"Young people may not actively support Beijing's agenda, but their hostilities can be reduced and that for Beijing is a worthwhile investment," he explained.

There is no official data in Taiwan on the number of youngsters currently working in China.

However, a survey released by the Taipei-based Global Views magazine in March showed that nearly 60 percent of respondents aged 20-29 years old were willing to work there.

Interest was reflected in a recent recruitment drive by China's Hainan Airlines, with more than 1,500 Taiwanese applicants applying for 80 jobs based in Beijing, according to Chinese state media.

Some say such cross-strait exchanges are a good alternative way to promote stability as official ties worsen, but others fear a brain drain that will hurt Taiwan's competitiveness.

A commentary in Taiwan's Liberty Times this month accused China of trying to divide the island and draw young people away from their political ideals.

"If young generations can't see hope in Taiwan and feel pessimistic about the future, and if poverty becomes a fact, how can they feel the obligation to insist on democracy and defend ideals?" it said.

China slams US defence bill over Taiwan provision
Beijing (AFP) July 17, 2017
China on Monday said it had lodged an official protest with the United States following the passage of a defence spending bill that could lead to American warships visiting Taiwan. Beijing has long objected to any military assistance from Washington to the self-governed island, which it considers a breakaway province. "China firmly opposes any forms of official exchange and military cont ... read more

Mounting instructions

It is normal to use backing bearings belonging to the same cross sectional height group on any one support shaft. After removing the locking devices used during transportation, the backing bearings should be pushed on to the shaft alternately with the saddles using suitable mounting equipment. When mounting backing bearings, care must be taken to see that, for example, the inner ring of cylindrical roller backing bearings is not pushed proud of the roller complement as this will cause the rollers of full complement bearings to fall out of the bearing.
To avoid a negative effect of the wall thickness variation of the inner rings on the quality of the rolled material, all inner rings on a support shaft should be turned so that the arrows indicating the position of the maximum wall thickness all point in the same direction.

The human body holds on to stress in the form of tension – in your back, shoulders and neck. Between stressful days at work where time is spent sitting for hours and the daily wear and tear that we experience in our personal lives, it goes without saying that our muscles are tense more than they are relaxed. Massage therapy is known for it’s ability to release tension and bring about a sense of relaxation. However, for muscles that hold lots of tension or require a deeper technique, we recommend a hot stone massage.

A hot stone massage incorporates warm, smooth stones into the standard massage method. These stones act as an extension to the therapy provided by the massage therapist, in fact, the heat of the stone not only increases levels of relaxation, but they also loosen up the muscles allowing for the massage therapist to work deeply and release more tension. The stones used in hot stone massage are also great for increasing levels of energy throughout your body, so it’s not unheard of to place them along the spine, in your hands or on the muscles that are especially tense.

If you’re looking for a massage that gets deep into the tension that your muscles are holding, a hot stone massage is one of the best options! At Skin to Soul, you can count on the trained massage therapists to provide you with an enjoyable massage that will leave you feeling relaxed and relieved. Call to schedule a hot stone massage today!

As fans eagerly await Peter Jackson‘s next video diary from the set of The Hobbit, the super-interactive director has begun a new feature on his Facebook page. Jackson will, once again, be answering 20 specially selected questions over the next few months and the first one is now up. The question is:

Are we going to see the White Council attacking Dol Guldor?

Jackson’s answer not only gives an idea of the scope of these films (which were just given official release dates and titles) , but reveals an exclusive new image. Don’t worry, it’s spoiler free and a little bit of a joke. Read what he had to say, what the question means and check out the image after the break.

This all went down on Jackson’s Facebook page which is fast becoming your one stop shopping destination for official pre-release Hobbit news.

Actually, Jackson answered two questions in this first installment, the first being a bit of a swerve, showing his sense of humor as well as his dedication to the fans who are anxiously anticipating The Hobbit:

Fan: Will you have time to sift through 4,000 questions just to answer twenty of them?

Jackson: Yes, I will. I’ve been very busy recently, not just with shooting, but with location scouting and prep work during our days off, so I’ve found it hard to get to the questions. However, today I have enjoyed sitting down and reading through them all. I’ll get started and continue to answer what seem to be the most popular questions during the next few weeks (as well as some one-off, quirky ones!).

Then onto the real question which, once again was “Are we going to see the White Council attacking Dol Guldor?”

Before the answer, some back story. Dol Guldor is one of the highest points in Middle Earth and it was where Sauron was based in the years before the War of the Ring. Knowing Sauron’s power, Galadriel formed the White Council, a group of wise elders, to watch over him from afar. Gandalf tried to get the Council to invade Dol Guldor many times but Saruman, also on the White Council, was against it. Eventually, when Sarumam, who sought the Ring for himself, realized Sauron thought the Ring was there, he agreed. However, the battle was all for naught as Sauron foresaw it and fled, making his home in Mordor.

So, will we see that attack? Here’s Jackson:

This was quite a popular topic, with JOHN LIDDLE, TOBY PHILLIPS and SETH DONALD, [/Film note: Those are fan names] along with many others, asking variations of this same question.

I’m not going to say just what and when, but I will confirm that both the White Council and Dol Guldur will feature in the movies. And not just in one scene either. Just how to visualise it has been a challenge, but fortunately Alan Lee and John Howe went crazy with ideas, and it should look pretty cool.

In fact to celebrate the start of these 20 questions, I’ll show you an exclusive photo of the White Council planning the attack on Dol Guldur! Even if you don’t want to be hit with spoilers, you should still take a look. For the first image of Gandalf, Elrond and Galadriel brandishing an array of fearsome Elvish weapons, click here.

And here’s the image Jackson posted.

That’s, of course, Jackson, Hugo Weaving, Cate Blanchett and Ian McKellan.

Did you submit questions to Jackson? What do you hope he answers?

Archie and Bob's Burgers Crossover

(The Morning Watch is a recurring feature that highlights a handful of noteworthy videos from around the web. They could be video essays, fanmade productions, featurettes, short films, hilarious sketches, or just anything that has to do with our favorite movies and TV shows.)

In this edition, see Patton Oswalt, Nick Offerman, Aubrey Plaza and more audition for the role of a young Albus Dumbledore in the Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them sequel before Jude Law got the role. Find out what a crossover between Archer and Bob’s Burgers might look like in a different way than fans have seen before, and see how the cast of Baby Driver fares in movie trivia against their director Edgar Wright.

First up, see all the various interpretations of what a young Albus Dumbledore could be like in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them 2, which is currently in production in London. Conan O’Brien was able to get ahold of the secret audition tape from Warner Bros. Pictures for one of his Comic-Con themed shows last week, and it’s clear that this is going to be a side of Dumbledore that no one has seen before.

Just recently, another edition of The Morning Watch showed the agents of Kingsman: The Secret Service coming into the spy world of Archer. Now art director Simon Chong (via Uproxx) has taken the time to imagine what it would be like if the characters of Archer had a crossover with Bob’s Burgers in a way much different than their previous crossover. But rather than just having the same character design as they do in Archer, all the characters have been given makeovers created in the animation style of Bob’s Burgers. Honestly, this should be a legitimate episode.

Finally, around the time Baby Driver was getting released over a month ago, The AV Club sat down with writer/director Edgar Wright as well as cast members Ansel Elgort, Jon Hamm and Eiza Gonzalez for an interview that turned into a movie trivia contest between the quartet. How does the cast fare against the titan of movie trivia who is Edgar Wright? You’ll have to watch to find out.

Somaliland offers investors chance to make history

by: Saad Ali Shire

A farmer offloading goats at the morning livestock market to prospective customers; a teenager buying an ice-cold Diet Coke from a rural roadside stall; an entrepreneur paying for an espresso at a buzzing, urban start-up hub. All three have at least two things in common. They all opt to make cashless, digital payments for daily purchases with their mobile phones; and they are all in Somaliland, a little-known, former British protectorate with a fast developing economy, situated on the tip of the Horn of Africa.

Somaliland’s story is unfamiliar to many in the global investment community. We are often confused with our war-torn neighbour to the south, Somalia, from whom we separated and asserted our independence 26 years ago, in 1991, following years of violence orchestrated from Mogadishu by the repressive Siad Barre regime.

By contrast, Somaliland is highly stable and democratic. We have our own fully functioning government with a presidential system; regular, free and fair elections; our own currency, the Somaliland shilling; our own, independent judicial system; and a constitution that guarantees the rule of law.

Somaliland has a dynamic and youthful population; 70 per cent of the people are under 30 years old and well educated: there are more than 30 colleges and universities, public and private, which produce thousands of highly employable graduates every year.

Somaliland hit the international business pages recently thanks to a $442m landmark investment from DP World — the largest in our history — which will see the Port of Berbera (set in a bustling coastal town, north east of Hargeisa, Somaliland’s capital) redeveloped and expanded to provide an alternative shipping and trading hub in the Horn.

The port will have access to the maritime highways that connect Europe, Asia, the Middle East and Africa and will firmly establish Somaliland as a gateway to east Africa and the continent beyond.

DP World joins an increasing number of multinational companies viewing Somaliland as a secure and stable location through which to access the east African market, including Coca-Cola, which has partnered with a local business to open a $17m bottling plant outside Hargeisa, employing 100 local people. There are two flights every day between Addis Ababa and Hargeisa, bringing business people from across the world to Somaliland.

The lounges of Hargeisa’s hotels are fast becoming a melting pot for investors, eyeing opportunities in emerging sectors with potential for growth, such as logistics, fisheries, agriculture and infrastructure, particularly renewable energy, roads, railways, airports and hospitals. Resources companies are conducting exploratory work across Somaliland, testing for evidence of the oil, gas and abundance of minerals that are believed to exist below the surface of our land and beyond our coastline.

However, in spite of this great potential, and the clear benefits that inward investment would bring to the wider stability and prosperity of the Horn of Africa, there remains a stubborn hurdle that prevents Somaliland from achieving its potential.

That is the question of the international community’s formal recognition of Somaliland’s independence and sovereignty.

Regardless of our stability, heritage and the faith that international trading partners and investors have put in our economy, in the eyes of the international community, Somaliland does not exist. This causes innumerable problems, not least economic.

Despite the valuable lessons we are able to impart to developing economies in Africa and beyond, we do not have a seat at the table at the United Nations or the African Union. Crucially, due to our limbo-like status, we are unable to access aid or soft loans from multilateral organisations such as the World Bank and the IMF, which has a massive impact on our ability to respond with any real effect to environmental or economic shocks. Somaliland’s central bank is not underpinned by international banking systems, making inward investment difficult, and meaning that a mature commercial and retail banking system has been unable to effectively develop.

We have experienced the effects of non-recognition most viscerally in the context of the extreme and devastating drought currently ravaging east Africa, which has significantly impacted our livestock-centred economy. As we are ineligible for significant support from international donors, the infrastructure needed to ensure an effective response to the drought has been chronically lacking, and when it has been provided, has arrived slowly after being mediated through Mogadishu.

Somaliland’s difficulties in managing the drought have had a knock-on effect on our political institutions, with this year’s Presidential elections regrettably postponed from March to November. The desire to postpone the election came from opposition political parties and Somalilanders themselves, particularly in the east where communities have been most affected by the drought. If the drought has been exacerbated by our international status, it follows that lack of recognition therefore impacts the very core of Somaliland’s political infrastructure.

Yet Somalilanders pride themselves on their stoicism and resourcefulness; and in spite of the myriad issues that lack of formal recognition brings, the business community remains optimistic.

The faith shown by international investors and the trade partners with whom we have signed binding and enforceable agreements — such as Ethiopia and the UAE — is an important signal and vote of confidence in our potential. Those with a record of investing in east Africa recognise that our stability, governance systems and independent regulatory frameworks bring welcome certainty to a region that has traditionally been fraught with risk.

It is clear that investors will play a critical part in the next chapter in Somaliland’s story — helping this dynamic economy to thrive and prosper, bolstering our bid for recognition.

Those with the foresight to look beyond the question of recognition, and towards the that Somaliland offers, will be rewarded — and will help to make history.

Dr Saad Ali Shire is Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Co-operation of the Republic of Somaliland.
