Who can know what the future holds? Ancient peoples relied on oracles. We rely on statistical probabilities and actuarial tables. Decisions on insurance coverage are important in our lives. Insurance provides peace of mind against the unexpected. But if a catastrophe happens, insurance may save our way of life. Here are some tips to help you make decisions about insurance.
By having all of your insurance policies with one company, you can often receive many different discounts that would otherwise not be available to you. Spend some time asking your representative about how much they could save you if you switched all of your other policies to their company.
If you are looking to save money on insurance, research into group rates in associations you may already be a part of. Organizations like AAA, AARP, and university alumni associations sometimes offer great insurance rates for their members. This can help you both save money and utilize the benefits of the organization that you are a part of.
You should find an insurance company that can handle all of your insurance needs. If you consolidate all your insurance needs to one company, you may receive a large discount. If you pull your auto coverage away from the provider that still insures your home, the premiums for your home coverage might actually go up.
When traveling, you should always consider purchasing insurance with your package. It will only cost a few dollars more, and it will cover you in case you have an accident, or if something unexpected were to happen. It is better to be safe than sorry and you don't want to lose out.
Check into your health insurance coverage. You want to be sure that you will be covered in the event of an injury or an illness. The last thing that you would like to happen was to get badly injured and not have any medical insurance to cover the expense of care.
Check with your credit union, college sorority, and credit card companies to see if they work with a certain renter insurance company. If they do, you are likely to get some great discounts from the company on a renter insurance policy for your apartment that will save you a lot of money in premiums.
When filing a claim be sure to be completely honest with the insurance agent even if the situation is embarrassing to you. Not being totally honest can lead the agent you speak with to invalidate your insurance policy altogether, or red flag the account and deny your entire insurance claim.
When you are applying for life insurance it is very important that you discuss the details of your policy with your family. They should be aware of how much coverage there is, who the beneficiaries of the policy are, and how they must go about filing a claim in the event that it needs to be filed.
Make sure to get your car back as soon as possible after an accident, especially if it has been towed. The longer your car stays in the lot, the more fees you will owe, and insurance generally does not cover those.
Do not accept any cash payments from another driver that was the cause of any damages to your vehicle. They may just be trying to prevent their deductibles from increasing and it is not a favor to you. Your damages may end up being more than the amount that they offered.
Check your sources before committing to any one company, and gather all the opinions you can from unbiased customers. You can sometimes get a discount if you purchase your policy online. Other companies may offer various discounts for different things, so get quotes from several different companies.
Keep your written insurance policy in a safe and secure place. Whether you purchase online or through a broker or agent, you should receive a paper copy of your insurance policy or have the option to print your policy. Review the policy information and keep a copy in a safe location, in case you ever experience a claim.
Keep all documentation from your insurance company in a central location for ease of access. This includes copies of your policy, correspondence related to claims and any other written communication. If you receive electronic communications back up the communications to an external storage device regularly and keep the device in a secure location.
When working with an agent or broker, take the time to satisfy yourself that the agent or broker is skilled in various forms of insurance. Most states require licensing exams and continuing education for insurance producers. Ask about these accreditations, experience in the field and any other factors that are important to you.
Now you have some tips to help guide you on your way. Only you know your particular needs, and how much you can afford. But the accumulated wisdom of others on this subject can help you make the right choices for the security and peace of mind of you and your family.

Hello everyone, and welcome to another edition of WebCenter Whiteboard. Again, my name is Michael Lawrence, and I'll be your host today. So we're going to talk about customizing Oracle Sites Cloud Service, a new service provided by Oracle and the cloud. It comes with Oracle Documents Cloud Service. You actually use Oracle Documents Cloud Service to store the content that you publish to your website. But today we're going to focus on customizing your Sites Cloud experience from the developer and contributor aspect. And right now we're in the middle of doing some projects with Sites Cloud and wanted to share a few, some of the things that we've done. Specifically, we're going to talk today about the content box that we've created as a custom asset. So we'll start there with the content box.
So this is what the content box is, you have an image, you have a title here, you have a body, and then you have a link. So there's four pieces to it: image, title, body, and link. And so with this custom component you can actually change the settings here. So you can either do the image, the title, text with no link, so the link is optional, the image is optional, and then you can do one or the other, both, or neither, and then you can just have the title and the text. So that is one of the nice things about this content box, is the ability to edit and customize it within itself.
Next, it's great for responsive websites. So one of the primary development styles or web design theories today is responsive design for user-friendly use cases on mobile phones, and tablets, and devices. So these... Really, these content boxes become tiles, and as your site collapses and expands with responsive design, these tiles... So you might have, you know, three tiles in a row, and then when you're on a mobile device, these tiles stack and you scroll up and down and it works really well, and it's clean and it's nice for the user. And it's, you know, it helps you compartmentalize your website as well. Also, you know, the custom settings, like I mentioned before, you can change the image out, the text, and then the...also the consistency. So I just touched on this a little bit, but it allows you to put your website into a form and a template that's consistent, look and feel across page to page, everything's in a nice defined box, there's no, you know, you're not going from page to page with different layouts and different looks and feels. It has a consistency to the webpage but also consistency across devices with the mobile responsiveness, like we've talked about the settings.
You know, the other thing I guess I should go back and talk about with the content box is typically on your left side of the WebCenter site's cloud service for sites is you got over here assets and components. And so this is a custom component like we said, and so there's a little icon, you know, and you can select one or the other, and then typically under "Components" you're going to have title, text, it might actually be called paragraph, you can do image, article, etc. So one of these options is custom under "Components", so "Custom". And then you'll go from this area to "Custom", and then under "Custom" you'll see the content card item and then you'll just drag and drop that onto the webpage.
So that's where this exists and how to use it. This is just one of the many custom components that we've created. I'm going to do another video on the highlight item or component that we've created, but we really have liked this content box, and it's been great for our web design within the WebCenter site's cloud, Oracle Cloud's Marketplace. So, if you have any questions about this, let us know at Redstone. Until next time, we'll be drawing out some more WebCenter and Oracle Cloud solutions. Thank you. Have a great day.

The Sporting Scene
March 21, 2011 Issue
By Ian Frazier
In East Flatbush, Brooklyn, the city's pattern of streets seems to expand like a grid on a balloon that's being inflated. The avenues grow wider, the blocks longer, the street lights farther apart. Someone looking there for the Cultural Performing Arts Center, or C-PAC, the site of a recent evening of preliminary bouts in the Daily News Golden Gloves amateur boxing tournament, might expect the building to be visible from a ways off. It's not. To know where C-PAC is, you have to know where it is: at the nub-end of East Forty-eighth Street, up against some railroad tracks, beyond a sign that says "We Buy Junk Transmissions" and the shipping-and-receiving entrance of a company called Moes Wear. A guy with a fistful of twenties was taking money at the door. Boxers with valid I.D.—their competition books, listing the fights they'd had—got in for ten dollars, half price.
If C-PAC's outside was dark and hard to find, and urban-lonesome, its inside was a hive. In the single, high-ceilinged room, a boxing ring had been set up at about shoulder height, with tables and folding chairs for officials at ringside. Throughout the room, maybe three hundred people were milling around, drinking beer, leaning over the balcony of an area for additional seating upstairs, waiting for the bouts to begin. Gas heaters attached to the ceiling flared on and added an aroma of hot dust. A man with white hair and a dark suit stepped into the ring, made announcements, thanked sponsors. The Golden Gloves tournament has been going for eighty-four years. Muhammad Ali, Mike Tyson, Oscar De La Hoya, and Evander Holyfield were all onetime Golden Glovers. Recently, in the tournament's mandatory drug-testing program, the number of boxers who failed has been fewer than eight-tenths of a per cent.
Clang! The timer hit the bell with a hammer to start the first fight, making a sound that was itself like a punch. James Scalafani, of the Veterans Memorial Boxing Club, in the gold corner, surged toward Tariq Ali, of the D'Awesome Boxing Club, in the blue corner, who covered up, to no avail. Fight stopped in under two minutes. Clang! James Clark, unattached, whaled on Khuong Chau, of the Trinity Boxing Club. Clang! Clang! Clang! Seven more fights followed. People bought hot dogs; you could get one for three dollars, and two for four. Partisans urged their favorites on with cheers that sounded like barks, and stamped their feet in unison. They shouted commentary: "He's gettin' check-hooked! He's trying to walk him down!" The whole ring, with its ropes and corner posts, vibrated like a live thing while the fights were going on, and kept vibrating afterward.
The fighters were young—mostly in their early twenties—and the referees not. Among the spectators, no ethnicity predominated. There were whites, Asians, Latinos, blacks. Many had on T-shirts with boxing-club logos: "Main Street Boxing" and "Heavy Hitters Boxing" and "Freeport Pal" and "Atlas Cops N Kids." All the fighters wore protective headgear. A hundred-and-sixty-five-pounder named Marc Cheatham looked fiercely out of headgear that bore on its front the American flag, which may have had a psychological effect on his opponent, who seemed to recoil patriotically. A referee named Ilya Friedman, a large man with a white crewcut, was introduced to the crowd as having been a boxer in the Soviet Union. He oversaw a match, then took a seat in the front row. The man beside him asked him where in Russia he was from. "Odessa," he replied, pronouncing it "Ah-dessa." The man asked what weight he had fought at over there. "When I started, I didn't even have any weight, I was a child," he said. "Later, I fought at seventy-five kilos, what is called cruiserweight in America. I fought a hundred and thirty-seven amateur fights in the Soviet Union, and I won a hundred and twenty-four." The man asked what was the difference between these matches tonight and boxing in the Soviet Union. "These are friendly fights," Ilya Friedman said.
In the Philadelphia Museum of Art, there's a painting of a boxing match by Thomas Eakins, America's greatest nonfiction painter. It's called "Between Rounds," and it shows a boxer resting on a stool in his corner, with his arms out on the ropes. Closer to the viewer, an official sits at a table. In Eakins's painting, the spectators appear to be all white, as is the boxer, and all male. The crowd is in uniformly dark attire. Otherwise, the atmosphere of Eakins's painting—done in 1899—duplicates that of the Golden Gloves tourney at C-PAC. A key detail is the bowler hat set carefully on a small shelf beneath the official's table. On the floor below the scorer's tables at C-PAC, there were no hats—just a one-litre bottle of mineral water. ♦

Biden Sets Up Commission To Study Supreme Court Reform
By Krishnadev Calamur,
Published April 9, 2021 at 8:46 AM PDT
As a presidential candidate, Joe Biden said he opposed expanding the Supreme Court.
Updated April 9, 2021 at 6:46 PM ET
President Biden signed an executive order Friday setting up a bipartisan commission that will study U.S. Supreme Court reform, and, among other things, examine the size of the court and the justices' lifetime appointments.
"The Commission's purpose is to provide an analysis of the principal arguments in the contemporary public debate for and against Supreme Court reform, including an appraisal of the merits and legality of particular reform proposals," the White House said in a statement. "The topics it will examine include the genesis of the reform debate; the Court's role in the Constitutional system; the length of service and turnover of justices on the Court; the membership and size of the Court; and the Court's case selection, rules, and practices."
The announcement marks the culmination of a campaign promise Biden made when repeatedly pressed on whether he would expand the Supreme Court to pack it with justices more aligned with his worldview. The Democratic candidate said he opposed expanding the court but said he favored the kind of bipartisan commission that the White House unveiled Friday.
The commission will be co-chaired by former White House counsel Bob Bauer and former Deputy Assistant Attorney General Cristina Rodríguez. Its other members include legal and other scholars as well as former federal judges and practitioners who have appeared before the court; advocates for the reform of democratic institutions and of the administration of justice; and experts on constitutional law, history and political science.
The commission is racially and ethnically diverse, and ideologically diverse. But the size of the commission — a whopping 36 members — and its mandate — not to produce actual recommendations — telegraph that the eventual report could end up on the ash heap of history.
Friday's announcement comes amid a debate over the composition of the nine-member court that now has a 6-3 conservative majority. Liberal advocates contend that an expanded Supreme Court would give Biden a real chance to implement a legislative agenda, which will otherwise almost certainly be mired in litigation due to conservative legal challenges.
Biden has rejected the idea of "packing" the court, a view that gained renewed attention this week when Justice Stephen Breyer, one of the court's three liberals, warned against an expansion of the Supreme Court.
In a speech at Harvard Law School, Breyer said the court's authority depends on "a trust that the court is guided by legal principle, not politics."
"Structural alteration motivated by the perception of political influence can only feed that latter perception, further eroding that trust," Breyer said.
But as a candidate, Biden also said that if elected, he will convene a national commission to study the court system.
"It's not about court packing," Biden told CBS' 60 Minutes in October. "There's a number of other things that our constitutional scholars have debated, and I've looked to see what recommendations that commission might make."
The White House statement said the bipartisan commission will "hold public meetings to hear the views of other experts, and groups and interested individuals with varied perspectives on the issues it will be examining."
Among the questions the commission is to examine is whether the number of justices should be increased; whether there should be limits on how long a justice can serve, or age limits; and even whether there can or should be changes to the nomination and confirmation process, which in recent years has been altered significantly.
The executive order directs the commission to complete its report within 180 days of its first public meeting.
A full list of members is here.

April 25, 2017 April 26, 2017 / Tom
Release: Friday, April 21, 2017
Written by: Amy Jump; Ben Wheatley
Directed by: Ben Wheatley
Free Fire is 85 minutes of pure farce, and it's kind of awesome. It's also great news for those who have been wondering if they would ever see a pre-Madonna Guy Ritchie film again. Of course, this isn't his film; he's off doing that King Arthur flick with Jude Law or whatever. While it's onwards and upwards for him, it's hard not to look at something like Free Fire and wonder what might have been had he ever taken his particular brand of foul-mouthed farcical crime comedy to the American shore.
Cowritten by fellow Brit Ben Wheatley and his wife Amy Jump, Free Fire may not be as nuanced or as shamelessly vulgar as Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels or Snatch but the schadenfreude is uncanny. As is the element of criminal ineptitude, here demonstrated by the majority as two gangs converge in an abandoned Boston warehouse to negotiate an illegal arms deal circa the late '70s, only to have it go hopelessly (and hilariously) awry.
Brie Larson's Justine and Armie Hammer's mutton-chopped Ord are here to broker the exchange of M-16s (not AR-70s) between the IRA, led by Chris (Cillian Murphy) and Frank (Michael Smiley), and a gun runner from South Africa named Vernon, played gleefully over-the-top by Sharlto Copley. Each party leader comes flanked by their associates, each of varying degrees of unscrupulous — the IRA have Bernie (Enzo Cilenti) and Stevo (Sam Riley), while Vernon's muscle comes in the form of Martin (Babou Ceesay), Harry (Jack Reynor) and Gordon (Noah Taylor).
That's a lot of bad dudes to keep track of, even in these limited confines. And Free Fire knows it, sparing 15 minutes in the beginning to clue you in just enough as to what actor is playing which character and dropping enough hints to lead you to assume nothing good can come of their being together in the same room for any amount of time. That's so Ritchie.
But perhaps more importantly Wheatley establishes tonality in these early moments. A particularly stand-offish Frank is cheesed off that their back-up haven't been punctual. Meanwhile Armie Hammer is a calming presence, seemingly insult-proof. It must be those ridiculous sideburns. This inauspicious start merely serves as the primer for the particularly intense acrimony shared between the slimy Stevo and the hippie-looking Harry. After the former's indiscretion from the other night is revealed, what little professional courtesy there has been goes out the window and bullets start flying.
For a film whose plot is literally "get the money, get the guns and get out," it's impressive how Wheatley manufactures this much entertainment out of that which verges on tedium. Even as the movie comes literally to a crawl around the half-hour mark, it only gets more interesting. Performances are generally caustic — Larson is certainly an interesting choice here, and I'm not sure she works entirely — but they're more effective physically as the entire ensemble, when not punching each other in the face with their hurtful words, spend their remaining time alive crawling around on the ground looking all shitty.
Imperfect by design, Free Fire offers dark escapist thrills aplenty and unapologetically.
Recommendation: Free Fire is quite different than Ben Wheatley's previous offerings. It's more accessible, to a certain extent. If you subscribe to the notion that Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels is awesome, this is going to offer a lot more to enjoy. It's undeniably slight and verges on being pointless, but who needs Shakespeare when you have Sharlto Copley shouting obscenities in a South African twang whilst on fire?
Running Time: 85 mins.
Quoted: "Ugh, men."

Will check this out if I stumble across it sometime. Glad you had fun.
It's a totally ridiculous movie where it probably helps to not expect too much of it. 🙂
Didn't love this as much as you did, but, a fun little diversion. I think that Copley and Hammer did it for me to recommend, wouldn't mind seeing these two team up again in some fashion.
'Fun' is an interesting word when applied to Ben Wheatley films. I don't know if I have ever had fun with his movies, but they're . . . . interesting. Free Fire is the most accessible thing he's yet done. I hope it doesn't signal a potential to sell-out like the other director I referenced in this review. 😉
Now I love Wheatley's films but heard average things about this. The trailer sold it for me but I'll probably wait for it to arrive via streaming. Great review my friend.
Thanks! I really enjoyed it. Deducted a few more points after in the end as it's not really an original. It's not like a Ben Wheatley film, save maybe for the really dark humor!

I loved seeing this in a full theatre – so many belly laughs!
I can only imagine a crowd would elevate the experience. I wonder how many people saw it the day I did. In total I'd bet it was less than a crowd.
It's too bad that so few are paying to see this one because I found it hilarious! I hadn't enjoyed High Rise so wasn't expecting a lot, but regardless of my expectations going in I would have been happy coming out of this one. It's just too funny.
It's way more accessible than High Rise and I really thought it was reminiscent of early Guy Ritchie, which was great. A fun movie for sure.
Ben Wheately makes some crazy shit, so I'm pretty pumped to see this (especially after your review).
He's a unique British voice for sure. This one feels a little more mainstream, if only just. It's still got that signature snark, and it's plenty dark. But way more accessible than say, A Field in England. Hope you enjoy it Ryan.
A Field in England is definitely his most "out there" that's for sure. Kill List is probably my favorite film of his (so far), but I have high hopes for this one!

Had a lot of fun with this. They were only three of us in the 11 AM screening. Woeful marketing, that's for sure. Maybe the only good thing will be a quick release to the consumer market, and I'll certainly snatch up a copy. This one is going to have legs down the line with its dialogue and character arcs.
It really was a good time! And that's telling too, because my dad and I were the only ones in our 9pm screening. Makes for a cool private screening, but that is exactly why theaters around me don't play this stuff often. They sadly just do not sell.

Australian Minister Accused of Conflict of Interest over Internet Gaming Legislation
CANBERRA, Australia — As reported by Computer Daily News:"The Australian Government of Liberal Prime Minister John Howard will attempt to bluff out revelations that Arts Minister Peter McGauran had a potential conflict of interest last year when he piloted legislation establishing a ban on Internet gambling through the House of Representatives.
"The Australian Labor Party Opposition claimed that McGauran stood to gain from the legislation, since his family company - which operates a hotel in Altona, Melbourne - is the owner of 70 poker (slot) machines.
"It claims that limiting Internet gambling - as the ban does - has benefited holders of existing forms of gambling, including poker machine licensees…"

Beneath the Cape is LIVE!!
Yeah, yeah. This is July 6th and this awesome anthology released six days ago. I am at a total loss as to where time has gone. One second I thought, "I need to write a blog post about this", and the next it's almost a week later and I still haven't gotten around to this post.
But...I AM NOW!
Better late than never, right? <--biggest cliché phrase ever
The awesomemess of this anthology is threefold.
1. EVERY author-earned dime goes to support the Wounded Warrior Project. Every. Single. One.
2. Um, superheroes falling in love? Yes, please!
3. Check out this super talented list of authors who contributed: Angela McPherson, Cheryl McIntyre, Christine Zolendz, ME!, Laura Thalassa, Lynn Vroman, Magan Vernon, & Sunniva Dee.
Superheroes.
Save the world and protect mankind.
But what's beneath the cape? Behind the mask? Under the steel-plated façade?
Eight bestselling New Adult romance authors have come together to bring you seven stories about superheroes and what it takes to win their hearts. From the skies, to the cities, to the ocean, our superheroes face death, fight villains, conquer evil and—
Find love.
The world is full of heroes. Every-day men and women who risk their lives for the sake of others—for life, liberty, freedom, and justice. Often these men and women are wounded—physically or mentally—in the line of duty. Therefore, we have created this anthology with the sole purpose of benefitting the Wounded Warrior Project.
Because heroes should never be forgotten.
Reaping Angels by Laura Thalassa:
The Executioner's touch can kill.
Angel's can heal.
A villain and a hero. One who stood for death, and the other for life. Mortal enemies until the impossible happened.
A touch.
A kiss.
And now, a manhunt.
Cat Love by Sunniva Dee:
A sexy thriller about the animal in all of us.
Aidan uses his superpower to stabilize minds at the Hollyreed Specialist Hospital. Ulani uses hers to chase rats on rooftops. Until she's caught and deposited in Aidan's care.
At the hospital, Aidan finds Ulani's room empty—save for a cat, whose fur retracts in favor of silky skin and a vamp-gorgeous femme fatale.
Aidan's obsession with Ulani grows, while patients go missing.
Making the couple use their powers to bring criminals to justice.
Gypsy Love by Angela McPherson & Lynn Vroman:
For two hundred years, Adrian vowed to seek revenge against the Gypsy woman who bound his spirit for eternity.
The one man Mia wants only exists in dreams.
Until he doesn't.
The curse may be broken, but not without a price.
One love must end for another to begin.
The Only Difference by Magan Vernon:
The Only Difference between a hero and a villain is what they do with their power.
Leonel "Short Stack" Garcia-Shapiro's life changed the night he decided to stop one of his fraternity brothers from taking advantage of a girl. Now he can't stop thinking of that girl and how he can save her.
Heroes by Christine Zolendz:
Kelly Black can't believe she'll be the new teaching assistant to Alexander Masters. The Alexander Masters—the head of the entire biology department. As soon as they begin to work together sparks fly and danger swirls around them.
Breaking Through by D. Nichole King:
Two years after her brother Nate died during a Navy operation, aquator Nautia Olson's nightmares began, and her ability to manipulate water became erratic. Anger, fear, joy, desire—they all trigger disaster.
Now, the Navy wants her for a top-secret mission, but Captain Riley Barton has his reservations. He's read her file. He knows the damage she's capable of, and yet—
If he can harness her ability—break through her walls—
She'll be unstoppable.
Villain by Cheryl McIntyre:
How can you tell a hero from a villain?
If you're Ember Willis and the villain is Lanely Frost, you can't.
How can you tell a superhero from a delusional young woman?
If you're Lanely Frost and the woman is Ember Willis, you don't care.
For both, finding the balance between right and wrong and love and lust are not the only battles they'll face.
That's a whole lot of awesomeness in ONE BOOK! Almost 700 pages of awesomeness for less than $2.50. So what are you waiting for? Because this anthology is only available until October 1, 2015!

Isaac's Two! Mummy has her say!
Isaac's 2 years old already! Today - 6th August 2009! Time really flies, can't believe 2 years ago today, I was in hospital, gave birth to Isaac at 7.15am in the morning.
We still remember the sleepless nights of the first few months. The tiring, tiring first few months when it was all poop and boobs, and especially when Isaac got colicky at about 7pm everyday... gosh... After the 6th month, things were more or less at steady state. And things got much easier the older Isaac got.
By the time he was about 12, 13 months, when he could walk, things were much much easier... He's a joy to come home to everyday (well, he always was :p). And we always look forward to weekends when we can spend the whole day with him, bringing him out, or just staying home. Even if we "stay home", we'd go downstairs for walks, sometimes cycling, play games, watch movies at home. We always have a blast.
But it IS tiring to look after a kid though. I don't think it's Isaac per se - it's just that accompanying a kid this age - who has boundless energy - is quite a feat to do along, for a long period of time.
Most weekends, both hubbs and I are not working, and we would be with Isaac all day. It helps that there are two of us, coz... it's just easier and less tiring. But if one of us were not around, we both feel that it's very tiring! *shiong* man!!! hahahaa I don't really know how to explain it coz it ain't obvious. But think most parents might share the same sentiments.
And all of a sudden, before Isaac's 2 years old! :) He's a big boy now. And he can 'do' many things. And say many things!
He's talking a lot now, and would often mimic whatever we say to him. But it's still cute and not irritating at all, coz we know he's mimicking us to hear what it sounds like if he says it. He mimics what he hears - so words in a song that he can catch, he'd say. Or if he listens to the adults talking to each other, he'd mimic words he hears too.
Almost all words, he can pronounce perfectly. I say he CAN, and not that he WOULD all the time. Case in point: FISH. He used to say the word Fish very well. When we see fishes, and pictures of fishes, and when he wanted to eat fish. Then suddenly one day, he started saying "shish" instead of "fish" ?!?!?! What the fish?!?! I kept correcting him, but he flashes me a cheeky grin and continues to say "shish". And so Dr Seuss' "One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish" becomes "One Shish, Two Shish, Red Shish, Blue Shish!" sighz.
Isaac takes to me correcting his pronunciation, quite well. Meaning, he doesn't seem to mind it, and he would say the word again, correctly pronounced, after I correct him. (Unlike hubbs who gives me The Look, when I correct him.) I am very conscious and would insist that Isaac pronounces his Ts and Ks at the end of the word. Like CaT, TalK, etc...He is very good, and always mimics me right.
Sometimes of course, he has the usual lazy Singaporean tongue. Like his "dun wan!" (don't want". He's very good at saying dun wan. Dun wan shirt, dun wan pants, dun wan diapers, dun wan touch (although I have managed to correct him such that he sometimes remembers to say 'dun touch' now), dun wan eat, dun wan water. hahaha... no, he's not really difficult with food and clothes, just occassionally, like most kids are. Oh best, "dun wan cut hair" - coz he's very afraid of the shaver that I use to cut his hair. Which kinda explains why his hair is so long now.
Isaac's 'dun touch' is quite legendary. He's very... particular - or as we say in Teochew dialect - very "goh tuck" - he doesn't like relative strangers (people whom he is not familiar with) to touch him. He can serially go:" Dun touch hair, dun touch shirt, dun touch pants, dun touch diapers!" when people pat his head, touch his shoulder or his thigh, or pat his bottom, respectively.
And our favourite, and our relatives' (who are all Teochew) favourite is when he says "mai tang!" which is Teochew for "don't touch!". It's hilarious to hear a boy his age say it, so amusing in fact, that my relatives kept on 'touching' him (irritating him in the process!) in order to hear him say "mai tang!" hahhaa... Will definitely try to get this on video.
Yes, he's apparently learnt to say quite a bit of Teochew as well. But hubbs and I hardly get to hear it, coz we've been very successful with our language programme so far. If you recall, hubbs will only speak with Isaac in Chinese, and I in English, and we managed to convince my mother-in-law to speak to Isaac only in Teochew. Thus, Isaac only speaks to us in those respective languages i.e. to me in English, hubbs in Chinese, and my MIL in Teochew.
Isaac, now at 2, has also learnt the concept that when one steps out of sight, the person doesn't 'disappear'. Thus, he has learnt not to cry, when we go to the loo, or go and bathe - he understands that "Papa is bathing" and not that his Papa has gone away.
In the mornings, when I drop Isaac off at my in laws place before I go to work. I used to have to sneak away. And he would cry when he realises that I am gone. But now, he knows and understands that hubbs and I have to be away, that we have to "go to work". In fact, his current way of dealing with it, is to ignore me when I tell him "Isaac, Mummy has to go to work now, okay? bye bye..." He doesn't even turn around to say Bye to me. Makes me kinda sad, in a way. But I guess that's his way of dealing with it.
okay, I was going to upload pix and videos along with this post taken on 6th August 2009, but it's kinda taking a long time. so here comes this post first :) stay tuned!
I confess! I'm pregnant!!!

Label: Atlantic 88958 Year: 1989
Picture sleeve included: M-
Condition: M $12.00
This is a new, unplayed Stereo/Stereo promo copy, in its original picture sleeve. This 3:35 version is marked on the label as an "Edit" of the album cut. This was the New York metal band's first chart single and one of their biggest hits. Note: The Near Mint picture sleeve has some faint, tiny stain marks from storage near the top edge (some visible in scan). This is also one of those singles released from about 1989 to about 1992 whose picture sleeve has a tiny round sticker reading "When You Play It, Say It!". I've always been curious about what marketing campaign that related to, but have not been curious enough to Google it. :-) Suffice it to say, these stickers were on some new 45 sleeves by default during this period and are not considered to either add or detract from the value of the sleeves. On one side, you can see very faint scuffing on the vinyl, which is why this otherwise Mint copy's Vinyl grade is Near Mint.

What did Anne Curtis say about Jollibee? [video]
by ASTIG.PH 2 years ago 2 years ago
Anne Curtis finds The One in Jollibee
PHILIPPINES – Where did Anne Curtis—actress, TV host, and all-around performer—find 'The One?'
In her latest TV commercial for the country's number one fast-food brand Jollibee, Anne reveals the one meal she will never get tired of: Jollibee Burger Steak.
With a well-seasoned burger patty made with 100% real beef, the Jollibee Burger Steak delivers spectacular flavors and textures to the table. The patty is generously poured with Jollibee's signature mushroom gravy and is then topped with mushroom slices to bring a delicious and delightful spoonful that Anne—as well as millions of Filipinos—keep falling in love with.
"Decade after decade, Jollibee Burger Steak has never failed to deliver a beefy-ever-after experience to Filipino diners," said Francis E. Flores, Jollibee Global Chief Marketing Officer and Philippines Head of Marketing. "This year, we're renewing our commitment to continually improve our products—including the best-selling Burger Steak—to guarantee unparalleled flavors and dining experiences for those who have fallen head over heels with Jollibee, including our newest celebrity endorser, Anne Curtis."
'Full circle'
Anne Curtis finds 'The One' in Jollibee
2017 marks Anne's 20th year in Philippine show business, where she had made waves through a slew of TV shows, critically acclaimed blockbuster hits, and in recent years, sold-out concerts at some of the country's most prestigious event venues.
Her journey to stardom began exactly twenty years ago, at a Jollibee store along Boni Avenue in Mandaluyong City. A 12-year-old balikbayan visiting relatives from her mother's side, Anne was discovered by a talent scout while she was enjoying Jollibee's signature offerings. .
"I wouldn't be the star I am today if I was not eating at Jollibee 20 years ago," said Anne. "This endorsement is really a big dream come true for me. I feel like I've come full circle in my career."
'It's like love at first bite'
Anne shares unforgettable childhood Jollibee encounters with millions of Filipino kids, across generations.
"At a young age, my mother introduced me to the Pinoy happy place: Jollibee," she said. "This is where I got to taste the Filipino version of steak: the Burger Steak with rice!"
This special, truly Pinoy meal has captivated Anne's taste buds from the very first time she tasted it. "It's like love at first bite! And what's great about the Burger Steak is that it's still has the same savory, delicious, beefy flavors that I've loved ever since."
The actress added that she never gets tired of the Burger Steak. "It hits all the right spots. The combination of real beef, sauce, and rice is just something that reminds me of comfort, of home."
Catch Anne's beefy ever after with Jollibee Burger Steak in a new TV commercial, which will premiere on February 12, 2017.

Field experiments were conducted near Scottsbluff, NE, in 2001 and 2002 to compare economic aspects of glyphosate applied to different glyphosate-resistant sugar beet cultivars with that of conventional herbicide programs applied to near-equivalent, non–glyphosate-resistant conventional cultivars. Glyphosate applied two or three times at 2-wk intervals, beginning when weeds were 10 cm tall, provided excellent weed control, yield, and net economic return regardless of the glyphosate-resistant sugar beet cultivar. All conventional herbicide treatments resulted in similar net economic returns. Although the conventional sugar beet cultivars 'HM 1640' and 'Beta 4546' responded similarly to herbicide treatments with respect to sucrose content, 'Beta 4546RR' produced roots with 1% more sucrose than 'HM 1640RR'. When averaged over herbicide treatments, a producer planting Beta 4546RR could afford to pay US $185/ha more for glyphosate-resistant technology as could a producer planting HM 1640RR. When averaged over cultivars and herbicide treatments, it is estimated that a producer could afford to pay an additional US $385/ha for glyphosate-resistant technology without decreasing net return.

Biogeochemistry
The terrestrial biosphere is a key component of the global carbon cycle and its carbon balance is strongly influenced by climate. Continuing environmental changes are thought to increase global terrestrial carbon uptake. But evidence is mounting that climate extremes such as droughts or storms can lead to a decrease in regional ecosystem carbon stocks and therefore have the potential to negate an expected increase in terrestrial carbon uptake. Here we explore the mechanisms and impacts of climate extremes on the terrestrial carbon cycle, and propose a pathway to improve our understanding of present and future impacts of climate extremes on the terrestrial carbon budget.

Editorial Summary
Carbon budget changes caused by climate extremes
Recent studies indicate that the extreme climate events — such as heatwaves, droughts and storms — can partially offset carbon sinks or even cause net losses in carbon stocks. This Perspective article investigates the effect of climate extremes on the carbon cycle of terrestrial ecosystems and concludes that climate extremes have the potential to override the sink effects of gradual warming, contributing to carbon loss from accumulated stocks.

In August 2014 Whistler passed a resolution in support of the recovery of the threatened Grizzly Bear populations in southwest BC, since then the community Councils of Squamish, Pemberton, Lillooet, and the Board of the Squamish Lillooet Regional District, have all passed similar resolutions. This unanimous support for recovery throughout the entire Sea-to-Sky corridor, indicates the strong value both residents and visitors associate with maintaining the iconic grizzly bear in our wilderness backyard.
The resolutions mirror calls from the Squamish and St'at'imc Nations, as well as the Okanagan Nation Alliance, for grizzly bear recovery and calls for recovery planning identified in the provincially endorsed 2008 Sea-to-Sky Land and Resource Management Plan.
The resolutions parallel efforts of COASTtoCASCADES and our goal of restoring the five 'threatened' grizzly bear populations in southwest BC back to 'viable' numbers. Having presented the challenges faced by grizzly bears to members of the public, elected officials and staff within each of the communities above it is fantastic to see unanimous support for progressing grizzly bear recovery planning.

taking a spin on my mother's old calculator.
an old rumor that hardly matters now.
and, times being tough, how to defray the cost of bread.
and he made his own time.
and she can't pin them down.
the numbers floating in and out of the shell.
and she says it's too early for lunch.
she can eat any time she damn well pleases.
Editor's Note: Freedom of thought is stolen from those whose minds fail with age, but in this poem, that freedom still lingers. The close of this poem reopens the beginning, but not in any way that comforts the narrator.
I particularly relate to this poem as my father worked for Dugan Brothers for many years, not as a driver, but in the plant itself. I have Dugan Brothers in a few of my poems, one way or another. Most recently I wrote "Death by Bread" as I think his time on the job contributed to his death. Those days of door to door delivery of milk and bread were not so blemish free. I love the history in this poem and the sadness.
Thanks, Judy. I'm happy someone remembers Dugan's–pretty sure it was a NY thing–though I'm so sorry it's associated with your father's death. We referred to him as Harold Dugan because we didn't really know his last name. I'd love to see the poems you mention. You can find me on Facebook.
I don't remember Dugan's Bread, but I do remember a "Harold" type guy. But, Alan, there's no need to apologize. It's probably all in my mind. I enjoyed this poem.
I do not remember Dugan's bread. Your poem did give me insight into different time.
Nice clean poem… I liked 'taking a spin on my mother' took me all kinds of places… thinking of your mother as a young woman, how time passes, how we grow old… that the old were actually young once… and we are on our way… think about your relationship with your past that is so alive in you. Nice play on words.. it's like the poem scrambled itself as it progressed. I enjoyed this poem too.
Thanks for CLUTTERING my inbox. I've only been getting SPAM lately and your Poem was a refreshing change. I do remember the Dugan Truck, but I always thought that AFFAIRS in the afternoon were with the Mailman.
This was the most enjoyable Poem I've read all day!

STEM the tide to learning
"Making students marketable to employers," is Professor Thomas Duffy's primary goal as he advises and mentors students in the Norwalk Early College Academy, a collaboration between Norwalk High School, IBM and Norwalk Community College, where Duffy is chair of the Computer Science Department.
The first P-Tech school in Connecticut, NECA provides a pathway for students interested in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) to not only earn a high school diploma, but also an Associate Degree in Applied Science from Norwalk Community College and a paid internship at IBM in as little as four years. Graduates will have the skills and experience to step into well-paying jobs in the Information Technology (IT) industry, according to Duffy.
"Many students who graduate from four-year colleges have a theoretical background. This program (and community college programs in general) allows students to develop the practical skills employers are looking for," adds Duffy.
Working in tandem with Karen Amaker, Director of the Norwalk Early College Academy and co-chair of the high school graduation readiness CAN, NECA addresses an important Norwalk ACTS outcome—helping high school students graduate, and help them develop the crucial academic knowledge and the social/emotional skills necessary to meet the demands of college-level work and workforce readiness.
NECA is in its second year with approximately 150 students currently enrolled. Organizers hope to enroll up to 100 more students in the fall of 2016. Applications for the incoming 9th grade class are due January 8, 2016.
Working together, everything is achievable.
