As you may know or not know in Asia the crocked cross is used to mark temples on maps, is a religious symbol. The Nazi's in Germany turned it around and used it for their on evil deeds. Across the road from where I live in Singapore there is a nursery school called Meri, day care for children. As the staff wear head scarfs I take it is a Islamic foundation that runs the place. Looking at the sign's on the bus that drops the kids off, the place takes children from across all faiths. It was shocking to see the following sign on one of the buses. I never knew the Nazi's copied the red circle as well. Looking at the photo, you can see that on windscreen, right hand side there appears to be sticker of the Japanese imperial Navy of the 2nd world war. Not really associated with being good as well. There must be no intention intended, just cultural differences. Symbols meaning different things to different folk.

July 18, 2013;
Today I woke up at 8:30 and replied to a comment on a photo I had on my Facebook and then I went back to sleep and slept again until 10:30.
I literally laid in bed until 12 when Mom got home for her lunch break. Then we went and checked on my aunt and uncle's cat since they are on vacation. Then by the time we go that done it was basically time for her to go back to work. I made that my time to make myself go to the grocery store to get the rest of what was needed for dinner tonight.
After going to the grocery store I stopped at Subway and got an Italian B.M.T. on Honey Oat bread, even though I ate that exact same thing (different bread) last night for dinner. I seriously have a problem!
I didn't do too much after I got home, then at 4:15 I started dinner. We had sticky chicken which consists of your choice of chicken (we like to use boneless skinless chicken breasts) with russian salad dressing, a package of onion soup mix and a cup of apricot preserves. Then it cooks at 400 degrees for an hour. We served it over wild rice with a salad on the side, it was really good!
I decided to go lay on my bed after dinner because I was really full and I ended up sleeping for about 25-30 minutes before waking up and thinking that I needed to take a picture for the day.
I then remembered the bird's nest that I photographed earlier on in this 365 and wondered if there perhaps might be any eggs left in it even after they hatched. Sure enough there was one single on in there! It was the cutest little egg so small i just couldn't resist taking a picture of it!
That was my complete day though, I really am not that exciting.

Much prettier sky today than on the other cloudy days that I tried this shot. Dazzle was again watching a person walking by on the road when I snapped this. I tried many different angles while he practiced his stay but only uploaded this one. I went out to get this particular shot (for a contest) in spite of the pain I'm in, then got back home and went back to bed. As far as the contest results, I would have been better off staying home. But I'm still glad I finally got the shot I wanted.
I added a photo of the log he was on to my stream to show that it is at ground level on the root end so that's how he got up there. The fallen tree is over a bit of a gully, so it gets pretty far off the ground. I am 5'5" and could just barely touch the underside of the log where he is standing in the photo. He's not the least bit bothered by height and at one point he was standing sideways across the log to look down at me. I liked the shot I got of him doing that, but I needed the flash and didn't realise that till I saw it larger on my computer screen.
He is as agile as a cat, but also careful about where he is putting his feet so I don't worry about him falling. And this is about the same height as the palisade wall that Malinois have to jump off of in Ringsport (after jumping to the top of the wall). (www.youtube.com/watch?v=i_Q5K48NGPc)
My 2nd day in Kingston! Yes, I've moved into my school residence and so far it's been great! =D
This was taken on my way to work, just before stopping at the house on the corner where my previously posted photo with the cat was taken. I thought these pipes were interesting and it was funny how one pairing was different from the other two. Sometimes I notice these things... I'm learning to be more observant.
My vacation photos did come back a week or so ago, before I moved in. I've just been too lazy to start posting them. That would require me to go back in my memories and write about them... Not that re-living the trip wouldn't be enjoyable! Just that I'm lazy...
I'll try to start posting those photos sometime soon. Maybe after Orientation week is over... I make no promises. XP

Dundalk overwhelm Bangor in All Ireland Final
by Roger Corbett
Bangor’s amazing run in the All Ireland Junior Cup came to an abrupt end when they were comprehensively beaten by Dundalk, eventually losing by 55-5.
Where do you start when trying to relate and absorb the events of Saturday’s final at Chambers Park? Firstly, congratulations to worthy winners Dundalk who nullified the Bangor attack, then went on to produce some stunning plays which racked up no less than 8 tries, each by a different player. For Bangor’s part, they were unable to respond to the intensity of Dundalk’s game, and lacked the cutting edge which their opponents used to great effect.
The day started full of promise, as the strong support from North Down made their way to Chambers Park in Portadown, knowing Bangor would be fielding their best team. Once again, the pundits had Bangor as the underdogs – just as they had done so in the previous three rounds! In confounding the experts earlier, Bangor produced some awesome performances against top quality opposition to get to the final. Dundalk had produced some convincing wins in the early rounds of the competition, but had struggled to get past CIYMS in the semi-final, just managing to squeeze ahead at the second time of asking. However, with a number of key players returning to the side in time for this game, they were now back at full strength and would be a formidable force to contend with.
Having won the toss, captain Jamie Clegg elected to play into the stiff wind in the first half. For the first 5 minutes, Bangor doggedly retained possession and tried to play their way into Dundalk’s half through a series of determined forward moves. However, little ground was made and, when possession was finally lost, the Dundalk back line produced a burst that simply cut through the Bangor defence resulting in an easy touch down under Bangor’s posts for a 7-0 lead.
Bangor stuck to their plan and slowly, but patiently, got their attack moving forward, eventually winning a penalty to the left of Dundalk’s posts, but Mark Widdowson’s kick into the wind drifted just wide of the mark.
The contrast in play between the two teams was becoming clear, with Bangor trying to keep the ball close while Dundalk were throwing it wide. The latter strategy was proving to be the more effective as, with 20 minutes gone, a quick back line move with players looping around resulted in an overlap on the right wing which gave a clear run in to again, score under the posts. A further 9 minutes later, they did it again and, although the Bangor defence had sensed the danger and moved across to cover it, their tackling let them down allowing Dundalk to get over in the right hand corner, taking their lead to 19-0.
By now, Bangor were trying to hang on until half time when they could regroup and come out with the wind at their backs. Dundalk, on the other hand were anxious to press home their advantage and give them a more comfortable lead. To Bangor’s credit, although camped on their own line for lengthy spells, they dug in and managed to hold on until the referee’s half time whistle.
As the teams reappeared from the dressing rooms, it was obvious Bangor were ringing the changes, particularly in the backs. With the wind advantage having lessened considerably, Bangor got the second half underway. It was now Dundalk’s turn to adopt the slow, steady approach, just as Bangor had done earlier. However, their more confident off-loading and support play was, once again, taking play deep into Bangor’s territory. Frustration at not being able to gain possession and take play out of their danger area eventually resulted in a yellow card for Clegg after a succession of penalties. Dundalk kicked the penalty to touch, won their lineout and drove for the line. Although initially held up by the Bangor defence, Dundalk’s repeated drives were eventually rewarded with another converted score, extending their lead to 26-0.
From the touchline, the Bangor faithful had felt that if their players had managed to score first in the second half, they may have been able to mount a fight-back and close the gap to their opponents. As it was, this Dundalk score simply bolstered their confidence and pushed Bangor deeper into trouble. With Bangor still a man down, Dundalk added to the score with a penalty and then another score in the corner. Everything was now working for the Leinster men, as even the difficult touchline conversion into the biting wind successfully split the posts, bringing the score to 36-0.
As the game entered the final quarter, and with Dundalk all but holding the cup, Bangor were now on the ropes. By contrast, the Dundalk players were in almost total control, and were not going to slow down now. In a 10 minute spell, they ran in a further 3 tries, making the scoreline 55-0. By now, any sense of dejection the Bangor supporters may have been feeling was now moved to feelings of sympathy for their players. However, pride was at stake and once again Bangor rallied as the game entered its final minutes. At last, the forwards got within striking distance of the Dundalk line and, although their repeated attacks were repelled, they finally managed to do what their opponents had done so effectively, and quickly passed the ball wide to Davy Charles. Even though they were 55 points ahead, the Dundalk defence made Charles work hard to drive through the tackles and score Bangor’s consolation try, bringing the final score to 55-5.
From Bangor’s point of view, the final score doesn’t tell the whole story of this competition. While the final may have resulted in a sad anti-climax for Bangor, the remarkable journey to get there will be remembered for some time. On the day, Dundalk were by far the better side, and Bangor would have to concede that their game was not up to the usual standard. However, there is no doubt the experience of competing at this level is something to relish and the goal now will be to secure a top four place in the league and try again next year.
Everybody at the club has nothing but the highest respect and praise for what has been achieved this year by not just the 1sts, but all the senior teams, and one poor result isn’t going to change that – the welcome at Upritchard Park for the returning players is testament to that. With that in mind, the players now need to put this disappointment behind them and provide the best possible response against a struggling Portadown side at home in the league next Saturday.

In front of a big crowd at Chambers Park on Saturday afternoon Dundalk delivered a stunning and ruthless display to see off the challenge of Bangor and capture the All Ireland Junior Cup title for the very first time.
Three first half tries had them firmly in control at 19-0 ahead having played with the elements at the Portadown venue during the first half and while the wind dropped somewhat after half time the Dundalk intensity most certainly didn’t as they cut loose scoring five more tries.
Dundalk returned to a heroes welcome at their Mill Road clubhouse on Saturday night after a display of pure brilliance throughout the afternoon.
Precision, pace and skill from the Louth men from start to finish left Bangor playing second fiddle for long periods.
