'Manifestation Techniques' seem to be the latest and most powerful "buzzword" worldwide in the Meditation and Self Improvement Community at the present time.
On this page I show you how to apply these techniques for yourself personally – in a new and unique way.
Essentially these are actually not new techniques, but are a clever combination of older techniques with a new "twist" to them, that is turning out to be very powerful, effective and popular.
They take snippets from Meditation, Self Hypnosis, Affirmations, Autogenic Training, Neuro-Linguistic Programming and Deep Mental Self Exploration to create a powerful tool for changes for the better in your life.
The overall reasoning behind all this is based on two general statements:-
….The First – that we create our own reality, and we have the power to change that reality by using very deep levels of our minds, and –
….Second – that there are very deep down abilities in our minds – that could almost be called "psychic" – that we can also use to bring about these changes.
What do I mean by that ?
For the first statement…… we only have to look at the example of Meditation.
If we meditate regularly,it is easy to see that fairly rapidly we have a more relaxed outlook on life, we are less tense, less argumentative, and generally feel better and more "balanced" in everything that we do.
And for the second statement……all of us have differing levels of Intuition or Psychic Power in our Subconscious mental makeup – that differ from person to person, and may be partly hereditary.
Also there appears to be a general belief that women are more Intuitive than men – I think that we all believe that.
I am not talking about the so-called Psychic Powers that supposedly allow some people to communicate with the dead, to see into the past or the future, to see ghosts, or move objects using their minds only, or bend spoons and so on.
I am talking about the day to day psychic powers ( I will call them psychic with a small 'p' instead of a big 'P' !), that we have all come across from time to time, but not really understood – for example:-
……….How often have you been looking at someone with concentration – across a crowded room for example -and they suddenly turn and look directly at you as though they felt you looking at them ?
……….How often have you walked into an empty house, or an empty room, and had the feeling that you are not alone, but someone else is there, and usually you are right ?
……….How often have you had a 'feeling ' that something particular was about to happen ( for example, a phone about to ring, somebody about to come to your front door, and so on ) – and then it does – and you wonder how the heck you knew that it was about to happen ?
……….How often have you noticed that if you concentrate hard on someone's back – without them being aware of you – then they will often pull down the back of their shirt or sweater, for no obvious reason (especially women) ?
………..How often have you noticed that if you have a cat or a dog lying relaxed, but not asleep, near you – – and you look hard at them , they will suddenly turn and look directly at you, as though they could feel you looking ?
………..How often have you come to a place that you are sure that you have never been to before, and suddenly had a sense of having seen this before – a form of "deja vu ?"
………..How often have you personally experienced ( or known friends who have experienced) the situation where you suddenly do not want to get on a particular train, or bus, or plane – for no conscious reason, and later find out that the one that you didn't get on had an accident or breakdown or something ?
………..How often, especially if you are doing something creative, have you so "locked in" to your creativity, that it is just humming along almost by itself – so that you lost all awareness of everything else around you, and the time just seems to fly by – and so on ?
………..How many of you created an "Imaginary Friend" when you were children…(I know I certainly did !) – and this Imaginary Friend was so "real" to you that you apparently saw it, talked with it, often had a certain chair for it and so on… as though it was a sort of psychic manifestation for you ?!
(Remember Big Bird's imaginary friend Snuffleupaugus on Sesame Street ?!)
What am I trying to point out here, as regards Manifestation Techniques ?
Simply that there are parts of our mind that we do not understand – but that are powerful – and if we can "tap into them," then we can use them as additional tools to make our reality more efficient and satisfying, in the same way as we do with meditation – but even more powerfully.
And that is basically what Manifestation Techniques are trying to do
I should point out to you however – that because Manifestation Techniques are so new and popular, there is a lot of "hype" and for lack of a better word, what I will call "New Age Gobbledygook" – so if you are exploring Manifestation Techniques, look carefully, closely and use your better judgment.
What are the actual TECHNIQUES – of these Manifestation Techniques ?
There are many different people offering workshops and books and similar things about Manifestation Techniques, that all differ slightly from one another – but if you "boil them all down" to a common thread, it is as follows:-
(It is also most important for the efficient working of the Manifestation Technique, for you to WRITE DOWN your answers to all of the following –
1. Find an area in your life that you are not satisfied with, and wish to change (health, money, relationships etc.)
2. Regarding this area, look closely and truthfully at your present reality.
3. Write down how you would ideally like that reality to be different in the future.
4. Closely dissect WHY you want this.
5. Completely and truthfully, write down why you DO NOT want this, and/or what prevents you from realizing this – go over these reasons several times until you have a gut feeling that you have them all written down.
6. Go over each reason with a mental microscope and look at ways to change, update, improve or otherwise arrive at or attain an improved wisdom with each.
7. Find the general emotional feeling that you wish to change in this exercise (joy, calmness, freedom etc.)
8. Look at all the different ways that it would be possible to bring this change into reality.
9. Carefully look at ways that it would be possible to even remotely manifest these changes in your life RIGHT NOW – write them down.
10. Build a mental picture of every aspect of how this new reality would feel, in every way – intensify this picture – enjoy it, make the picture as strong as you possibly can – write down an accurate summary of all of these aspects.
11. Go over the whole thing at least twice more – to polish and refine each step, until you reach a stage of 'gut feeling' that you have everything complete and written down.
That is the Manifestation Technique process "in a nutshell"
So what I have done next is to expand the general Manifestation Technique outline above, so that you will be able to easily create your own Manifestation Technique for yourself – for free !
Instructions for creating Your Own personalized Manifestation Technique
First of all, I am sure that this will be a very important instrument for big change in your life –
… so, as I mentioned above on this page –
… go slowly and carefully with the first part of the Manifestation instructions –
… go over each step again and again until you are 101 percent sure that it is completely truthful and complete –
… then write it down and go over it even one more time.
This may take you several days – no problem – it is 'the rest of your life' that we are making better – so don't be hasty !
It is best to split the first part of the Manifestation instructions into several sessions – rather than trying to do it all "in one sitting" –
… this way your Subconscious mind also has time to look at, and analyze your answers, and additional things may occur to you.
Ideally try to do each session when you are in a relaxed mental state – maybe after having listened to one of my meditation recordings.
Have a notebook or exercise book at hand – so you can write down your responses – THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT.
So – if you are all ready, then let's start working !
Part One of your Manifestation Instructions
1. Think carefully about your life in general – what is working O.K. for you – and what is not.
Think about many different areas in your life – such as Health, Diet and Nutrition, Exercise, Relationships, Sexuality, Job, Money and so on.
Find the one area in your life that you MOST wish to change – write it down.
2. In this area that you have chosen – look carefully and completely at its present reality in your life – as truthfully as you possibly can – what things work well ? – what things work just alright ? – what things don't work all that well ? – and what things really do not work well at all ? – ….make notes as you go along.
Write down the thing(s) about this area that you would most like to change.
3. Look closely at each of these and write down what emotions and feelings you would really like to feel in the future for each, what you ideally would want to feel, as opposed to what you have felt in the past.
For each of these things – write down WHY you want to feel these new emotions and feelings….what are the important reasons…what are the ones that are most important….list all the positive reasons until you feel happily complete as to WHY you want this new reality.
4. Now a very important and "soul searching" part – write down all of the reasons Why you do NOT want these things
– what stops you from having these ? – why can't you have these ?
– what from your life up to now, prevents you from having these ?
– are you afraid or nervous to have these ? Why ?
– what are the negative things about these ?
– what are the costs, sacrifices or changes that you would have to make in order to have these ?
– keep looking for what other deep down things prevent you from having these – write them all down until you cannot possibly think of any other reasons that prevent you from having these…
– then think of even more !
5. Go over all these negative reasons again and again, and exaggerate them even more – see where they are involved with your deep down Inner Voices of the Victim, the Critic, the Child, the Injured, Inertia and so on – write them down.
(If you're not familiar with these Inner Voices, click here to learn about them).
6. Go over all of these negative reasons once more, and this time look at each one and forgive, release, update and re-feel each one with a sense of being able to tap into a higher wisdom than these old outdated negative reasons have manifested or shown in the past.
Do this two or three times until you are certain that you have successfully updated each.
7. Write down the highest quality, the essence, the overall emotional feeling, the total benefit that you wanted to create in the # 3 section above (examples – joy, freedom, calmness, peace, completeness etc.)
8. Make this quality more real by looking at how it will feel in all aspects of your life, all your senses, all your emotions – how it will be as regards your sight, hearing, taste, touch, your experience of everything around you, conversations, colors, sights, sounds, food, music and so on – write it all down.
9. Write down specific ways that you can express these qualities in your life Right Now – regardless of everything else like circumstances, people, problems, your personal shortcomings, your perceived limitations, your economy and that of the world, the state of your environment and so on.
10. Now almost the 'Most Important' part – imagine what you want – feel what it would feel like – feel how this new reality would feel on all levels, allow it to be real, allow it to happen – relax into it and bask and enjoy the new reality that it brings….put all this down into words.
11. Finally The Most Important Part ! –
Go back over the last 3 sections only ( numbered 8, 9 and 10), and re-write them all In the Present Tense – for example –
– instead of "I would like to create more joy in my life" – write -"I am creating more joy in my life"
– instead of " I will feel more complete in my relationship" – write – "I am feeling more complete in my relationship"
– instead of " I will enjoy the new sense of inner stability" – write – " I am enjoying the new sense of inner stability"
– instead of "I will feel more at ease talking to people that I do not know well" –write — "I feel more at ease talking to people that I do not know well"
…….be as complete as you can with this, as it is the "core" of your personal Manifestation Technique.
…and then …. go back over #3 above, and do the same thing with all the things that you wrote there, and again – putting them all into the Present Tense as you did in 8, 9 and 10.
See if that changes or adds anything to your answers in paragraphs # 8, 9 and 10 – if so make those changes.
Finally – go over the entire thing once or twice more – or until you have a definite sense of truthful completion.
Then re-write this, (in nice writing that you will be easily able to read !! – or type it out) – but only the things from sections 8, 9 and 10 above.
RE-read what you have written a couple of times, so that you are familiar with it – as this will be your "script" for your personal Manifestation Technique.
(If you have been truthful and complete in this, then you should have a great sense of "Aaaah – all done, feels good" – about now ! Enjoy it and when you are ready move on to Part 2 below).
Part Two of your Manifestation Instructions
How Do I Use My Own Personal Manifestation Script ?
This part is very simple – in effect all you have to do is slowly read your "Script" back to yourself, regularly, once or twice a day,
-but it is of supreme importance that you do this out loud for the Manifestation to work effectively.
What this is doing, is entering your Manifestation information into your conscious and subconscious mind in three separate ways – by thinking about it (mental) – by reading it (visual) – and by hearing it (auditory) – which makes it very powerful.
It is yet much more powerful and effective if you do this when your mind is in a very quiet and receptive mood – typically as occurs straight after you have been meditating.
It would therefore probably be very worthwhile to purchase one of my Pre-Recorded Guided Meditation CDs or MP3 downloads for this, as any one of them will effortlessly put you in the required mental state for your Personal Manifestation Technique to be the most effective.
You can click HERE to go directly to the page about these Pre-Recorded Guided Meditations.
Then, slowly read your "Manifestation Script" to yourself – quietly but out loud – and concentrate carefully on each sentence, and at the same time try to draw the feelings associated with each sentence deep within you, so that they become part of your subconscious mind.
Ideally, read through your "Manifestation Script" twice more aloud in the same way – then just be quiet for a few minutes, and feel the truth of what you have been telling yourself, and give thanks that your subconscious mind is smoothly and effortlessly changing your reality for the better for you.
Be happy that your life is changing for the better, more and more each day, and in every way.
Then 'come back to the present' and have a big self-satisfied stretch – almost like a cat when it wakes up !
Congratulations ! – you have just made the first step to changing the rest of your life – for the better !

JUNGLE LIGHT for First Hand by Design Products Collection
The Design Products Collection is a new initiative by the Design Products department at the Royal College of Art (RCA), London. It launches with an exhibition at the RCA during the London Design Festival from 23 September to 7 October 2010.
RCA students produce some of the best design in the world, yet there is sometimes a gap between a great student project and a realisable product for the market. The Design Products Collection is a bridge for graduates and faculty of the RCA Design Products Department to make their original and innovative design proposals commercially viable. These products are intended for serial production and are not made in limited editions. In most cases they are made or produced by the designers themselves allowing them to be uncompromising, even radical. The aim of the Collection is to take new design ideas to a broad public and over time it is intended to add subsequent editions to a growing Design Products Collection catalogue in further themed editions.
Material: UV- resistant polyurethane and silicone hairs

Organic food and watering hole featuring live local talent
This relatively new, happening place is a great place to be for live entertainment and good chow and drinks. I've been there several times and intend to continue going because I've always had a good time.
To give you an idea about their menu- they've got a tapas section, an entree section which I would describe as 'comfort food', and a variety of drinks to choose from including organic beer. The poutine is divine and mouth-smackingly salty in the right way: skin-on skinny fries, guinness jus, and aged cheddar with truffle oil to finish makes this a sinful favourite. I've also had the duck, brie, and caramelized onion pizza which was satisfying and tasty.
The atmosphere is rustic and funky, complete with a wall full of religious tabernacle beside the well-maintained bathrooms. Their live music is always a bonus, and the packed room feels like a cozy cabin in whistler.
I may be leading you on, but last time I was there I heard that they do a half-price tapas menu before 7pm. That would definitely be a great way to check out the food without worrying about investing too much money, though it is certainly fairly priced (organic food) to begin with.
Here's my recommendation: come hungry, bring your friends, and show up early to ensure a seat for the live entertainment.

A letter arrives in the mail for you.
The Letter
-----------Dear Trainer,
I've been watching you as you prepare to enter the world of Pokemon.
I'm currently running a study to see just what it is that makes the best kind of trainer.
I'm trying to see what skills are necessary, what attitude is most prominent, but to do so I need some trainers who are at the top of the pack to help me in my study.
You have been selected, along with a group of others, to come join me at my private island and receive a special starter from my lab.
I only ask that you allow me to study you in your travels and help me further my understanding of the trainer psyche as well.
I thank you in advance and look forward to seeing you.
The letter is signed by an anonymous benefactor and comes with a ticket to ride a ferry to the island 'Terra'.
You must make a choice whether to accept the invitation or not trainer.
This decision may very well make the difference between life and death, but is the obvious choice the right one?
You could just head to the local Pokemon lab and see the professor there, but the temptation of a special starter lures you in.
You want to start your journey in style! So why not?
After much deliberation you set out to the ferry and prepare for the ride of your life...
Life. It has its highs and lows.
In Terra, that is no different. Infested with nearly every species of Pokémon known to man, one might think that everything was perfect, and that the island would be the perfect dream vacation.
If you thought that, you are wrong.
Terra is a place where friendships are built and destroyed, hardships are endured all throughout the year, and life is truly a treasure chest filled with hopes and dreams that may never be accomplished - yet for those who persevere, the rewards are rich. For everyone, the ultimate goal remains the same: to survive.
How long can you last?
This is not a usual Pokemon guild in that we use a dice system and the starters are not preset. They are determined by your results in an evaluation quiz before you even begin roleplaying.
There are no gyms, no Elite Four for you to encounter. You are trapped in the wilderness with your new starter by a mysterious man that insists on watching you fight for your life in the name of science.
You must choose whether to fight against the other trainers you encounter or join forces, because according to the villain who dumped you all here to escape you must kill all the others...
(Yes, basically Hunger Games meets Pokemon in a sense.)
How to Join:
Please do not send in a Join Request yet. Those who already have are fine, but no more until we are finsihed setting up.
If any Join Requests are sent from this point on. They will be refused and you may not join in the future.


text: MTV Multiplayer - In 2009, the exceptionally small team at Re-Logic, headed up by Andrew "Redigit" Spinks, released "Terraria," a two dimensional, side-scrolling, exploration-driven title, that gave players virtually limitless ability to explore the game's world. Since then, the game has sold millions (with an "s") of copies on PC, and now 505 Games have helped bring this wildly successful release to the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. Retaining all of the core experiences of the PC release, the console versions received additional content, as well as a handful of other upgrades. It's not uncommon for games that are originally developed for PCs to have difficulty making the transition to a different platform, but, aside from a few quirks, "Terraria" seems to be right at home on Xbox Live Arcade and the PlayStation Network.

U.K. Talks on Currency-Rigging Settlement Accelerate
Talks to reach the first settlement in the currency-rigging probe are accelerating, with Britain's markets regulator preparing to reach a deal with a group of banks this year, people with knowledge of the situation said.
The Financial Conduct Authority is in negotiations with banks including Barclays Plc (BARC), Citigroup Inc. (C), JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM) and UBS AG (UBSN), said the people, who asked not to be identified because the discussions are private. Royal Bank of Scotland Group Plc and HSBC Holdings Plc (HSBA) may also be part of the group settlement, one of the people said.
The FCA is trying to fast-track the process and may levy any fines in the coming months, three of the people said. The watchdog is seeking to keep the scope of the deal narrow to speed up the settlement, two of the people said. Agreements haven't been reached yet and could still stretch into next year, the people added. Representatives of the banks and FCA in London declined to comment on the talks.
Regulators and prosecutors are scrutinizing allegations that dealers at the world's biggest banks traded ahead of their clients and colluded to rig the WM/Reuters rate, a benchmark that pension funds and money managers use to determine what they pay for foreign currencies. More than 25 traders have been fired, suspended or put on leave after the allegations emerged last year.
All six banks have said they're cooperating with the investigations.
Wheatley Comments
The settlement would be more imminent than the FCA has previously indicated possible. Last week, Chief Executive Martin Wheatley reiterated his comments to lawmakers in February that the probe is unlikely to be concluded before 2015.
U.K. prosecutors at the Serious Fraud Office opened a criminal investigation into conduct in currency markets this week. Director David Green said charges could come as soon as next year and that they're looking into just a few individuals and institutions, Reuters reported yesterday. A spokesman for the SFO confirmed the comments.
The U.S. Department of Justice is also conducting a criminal probe, as well as an antitrust investigation, into the matter. The department is preparing to impose its first fines and bring charges as soon as this year, a person with knowledge of the situation said last month.
Market Shift
Citigroup has the biggest share of the global foreign-exchange market with 16 percent, followed by Deutsche Bank AG, Barclays and UBS. HSBC accounts for 7.1 percent of the market, followed by JPMorgan. RBS ranks eighth on Euromoney Institutional Investor Plc's annual survey.
The widening probe has hastened a shift in the industry, with banks adopting tighter controls on how their traders communicate with counterparts at other firms, and increasing their use of electronic platforms. While people have been replaced by machines in other markets such as equities, most currency transactions take place off of exchanges, forcing clients to rely on their dealers for market and order-book information.
Senior currency dealers have been stepping down, or getting pushed out, in greater numbers amid the turmoil prompted by the manipulation probes. All six of the banks in settlement talks with the FCA have fired, suspended or put on leave members of their foreign-exchange teams.
The Bank of England has also become embroiled in the scandal after it emerged bank officials allegedly condoned practices that could have resulted in market-rigging. The central bank has commissioned an independent investigation into the allegations and suspended an employee.

"The White House on Tuesday unveiled efforts to expand protection of vast areas of the Pacific Ocean controlled by the United States from over fishing and environmental damage.
President Barack Obama's proposal, to go into effect later this year, would create a vast marine sanctuary and is part of an effort to safeguard more ocean territory, which is under threat from several factors, including overfishing and climate change, the White House said.
The announcement, part of the president's national ocean policy, coincided with an oceans conference held by the State Department on Monday and Tuesday at which Secretary of State John Kerry called for a global effort to protect the world's oceans, which cover more than 70 percent of the planet.

Make sure that you print this in BRIGHT COLORS....so no one mistakes it for a real gun.
Is this a 1:1 scale print?
What are the dimensions of this? I'm thinking of putting some Nerf internals into this and make it a functional prop.
you could do something with the smaller boom co. size darts but full size nerfs wont work.
even if I single a Zombiestrike Doublestrike it will not fit???
the barrel would need to be scaled up. else the walls would be very thin. i thing the barrel is around 12mm from side to side.
Alright thank you for the information. I may have to use a BoomCo. Farshot. that one seems to have smaller parts that may fit. Thank you again for you time.
Dan do you think you could make the pistol used in Warehouse 13? It is the Tesla Pistol.
I have been looking for this pistol for some time. Thank you for all the design work you did, to make this pistol possible.
I'm still fairly new to the 3d printing game, how did you go about slicing this into multiple parts? The printer that I use will not be able to print this in full size in one part.
i use a program called Netfabb, you can download the basic version off of their website for free and it allows you to slice stl files into smaller parts.
if you look at the photo you can see where i sliced it to print on my printrbot. It was 5 sections about 2 inches long each. then i glued them together.
I'm currently working on adding all the fine details to your model, as well as improving the dimensions. If able, I'll also be modifying it to have moving parts (removable magazine, moving trigger and cocking lever, removable grip plates, etc.) When finished, I'll put it up here and link you to it somehow.
Fine details would be great, but my bot has limited build volume, so could this be modified to be printed in parts and glued (not ideal) or snap together?
If you know a good method of snap-together parts, I'd love to do that. My current plan is to slice it into the major portions.
Would It be possible to get this cut into Half or maybe 3 pieces? I want to print one but my printer will only has a build area of 6"x6"
i used netfabb to slice it into 5 parts and then glued them back together.
I would love a copy of the photos for reference. Is it also possible to get the model you used to make it? It's a tad long for my print bed and I would need to break it into parts for printing.
i just used a picture off the web. you can slice the model with the free version of netfabb. that is what i used to slice it up to print. with my printer i had to slice it to 5 pieces. rotated them vertical and printed with support.
Gotcha. I was hoping you had a Solidworks or Inventor file for the model. Looks like I"m learning another new program! :-)
i do have the inventor file, but im not sharing those. sorry
This gun is currently on display at the NRA museum in Virginia as part of the guns of hollywood exhibit. I took a few pictures of it. Let me know if you want them for reference.
yea, that would be great. i know some of the details are off.
Sorry this took me so long to get around to posting but here is a link to the one picture I took of it. I thought I took more but I can only find one. http://www.flickr.com/photos/lowlight47/9477300302/lightbox/http://www.flickr.com/photos/l...
Any suggestions on printing this? With the barrel open and supports on I imagine the barrel will be full of plastic.
i would slice it to print the barrel standing up. the rest should print with support. some light sanding and then your all set.

The sheriff of Tarrant County is refusing to issue Tasers to his deputies.
The decision was made due to health concerns, Sheriff Dee Anderson said.
Taser use by law enforcement has been a conentious issue for quite some time. Many police departments in large Texas cities use Tasers. In June, a video of a Travis County police officer using a Taser on a 72-year-old woman made national headlines.
Embedded video from CNN Video
The woman accepted $40,000, which was paid by Travis County, in an out-of-court settlement.

26th over: England 94-1 (Trescothick 36, Vaughan 41) As the Old Trafford crowd launches into its first boozy chant of "Ing-er-land, Ing-er-land", Gillespie - whose Samsonesque locks surely pose more danger to the England batsmen than his bowling (particularly at the non-striker's end) - bowls a decentish over. Just one from it, a no ball.
27th over: England 105-1 (Trescothick 46, Vaughan 41) Listen to those Heineken-fuelled roars! Trescothick firmly pushes at one from McGrath, which goes straight down the ground for four then, two balls later, a thick edge brings up the 100. Speaking of hair, anyone else think Kevin Pietersen's new blue rinse is a touch too close to James Anderson circa 2003? And we all know what happened to him...
28th over: England 113-1 (Trescothick 50, Vaughan 43) Gillespie looks even less likely to get a wicket as Hans Blix was finding an Iraqi WMD. He desperately appeals for lbw despite Trescothick getting a thick edge onto pad and, next ball, is pummelled for a four which brings up Banger's 50. "I'm bloody starving, but I'm sticking around to hear Warne's first ball," says Andrew Jolly, who's surely a distant relative of Mike Gatting. "He's promised to do somthing special, but he'd better get a move on cause my blood sugar level's getting low."
29th over: England 120-1 (Trescothick 50, Vaughan 49) Unbelievable escape for Michael Vaughan. First he edges a wide one to slip, only for Gilchrist to drop a high one. Then next ball, he's bowled through the gate - only for umpire Bucknor to rule a no ball. Finally, to top things off, he swats McGrath away to move to 49. Quite incredible stuff. "Having sampled a few sherberts at the Edgbaston Test I reckon it's probably Carlsberg or Red Stripe-fuelled roars," says Simon Porter (and others). Apologies to all.
30th over: England 123-1 (Trescothick 51, Vaughan 50) A single through mid on brings up Vaughan's 50 (off seven fours, 64 balls). "What did happen to James Andersen?" asks Stephen Smith. "He wasn't that bad a bowler, and he couldn't do much worse than Hoggard has this summer." He's still at Lancashire, Stephen, where he's sinking like a stone (11 matches, 38 wickets at 32 in the Championship - he's ranked 32nd of all bowlers in the second division).
31th over: England 123-1 (Trescothick 51, Vaughan 50) McGrath continues to Vaughan, who tries to get him away without success. Maiden. "After what's just happened to Vaughan I've thrown some money on England taking the series, this has got to be ours," cries Paul Murphy. Steady, Paul, steady.
32nd over: England 126-1 (Trescothick 51, Vaughan 53) Shot from Vaughan through midwicket! The outfield is much slower than Edgbaston and he only picks up three. "Is this the same James Anderson who your colleague, Andy Wilson, described as going through an 'encouraging resurgence' on Tuesday, having followed a 5-for with a 3 for 27 against Northants?" asks Alex Holland (and others). Yes, it is Alex. But his figures are still worse than Andy Caddick (44 wickets at 26), Paul Collingwood (16 at 30) and Dominic Cork (32 at 25). And I don't hear anyone wanting to see Corky's 75mph fizzers back in Test cricket, do you?
33rd over: England 130-1 (Trescothick 52, Vaughan 54) Great duel this between Vaughan and McGrath, who nearly gets the England captain with a 86mph yorker. The two exchange words - something like "Nice delivery, Glenn," I imagine. To your emails. "The girl I used to work with went out with James Anderson," says Aly Duncan. "She said he was very vain and used to pluck his eyebrows."
34th over: England 132-1 (Trescothick 52, Vaughan 56) At last, the Aussies turn to Warne. His first ball is a beaut - not quite a ball of the century, but Vaughan is certainly surprised by the spin and only just blocks. "Your WG Grace picture looks suspiciously like another faded 'celebrity' we had on the boundary - Eugene Terreblanche, who's no relation to Kevin Pietersen)," says Derek Hubner from a rainy Cape Town.
35th over: England 142-1 (Trescothick 52, Vaughan 66) Shot of the day from Vaughan! After nibbling a widish one through third man for four, he jumps on a decentish McGrath outswinger and clobbers him through point for another boundary. "Compare Anderson's stats with England hero, Matthew Hoggard - who has taken, er, 20 wickets at 36.6 in Division Two this season, a good 14 places below Jimmy," says Will Scott. "Take that, Matthew Hayden!"
36th over: England 149-1 (Trescothick 56, Vaughan 67) Bad news for Ian Bell and Andy Strauss: Warne's just got one to spin from middle to nine inches outside off. Trescothick retaliates with a bludgeoning boundary through long on. "Re: Anderson. He met one of my sister's friends some time ago and I she's had a detrimental impact on James' form now they live together," says Ben (surname held to protect the family). "A little demanding if you know what I mean!'"
37th over: England 149-1 (Trescothick 56, Vaughan 67) Lee replaces McGrath and immediately is back to stop speed, firing in a succession of 90mph howitzers. Maiden. Meanwhile, this from Vinay Aravind. "Thanks for the commentary," he writes, "but please guard against Carpal Tunnel Syndrome with all this typing you're doing!" Don't worry, Vinay, I'm rotating my wrists like a German techno fan to a particularly catchy beat.
38th over: England 151-1 (Trescothick 58, Vaughan 67) After another breakneck Warne over, umpire Billy Bowden announces: "Over and time for drinks, guys". Meanwhile this from Chris Mason (not the darts ace, Chris "Mase the Ace" Mason surely?). "We need to research the effect colouring your hair has on sporting performance," he says. "To be honest, I don't like Pietersen's chances in this game with that appalling blue streak."
39th over: England 156-1 (Trescothick 62, Vaughan 70) Lee is bowling murderously quick here: a 91mph bouncer nearly takes Vaughan's head off. But after the England captain nibbles a single, Trescothick hunts a wide one and crashes it through the covers for four. Meanwhile Gavin Wallace wants to know: "Do you think Andy Caddick would be able to bowl faster if he plastered his ears against his head?" A no brainer, surely, Gavin?
40th over: England 160-1 (Trescothick 62, Vaughan 74) Anything Trescothick can do, Vaughan can match: Warne drops one short and is biffed to the boundary through gully. Next ball spins sideways, though, and nearly takes the edge. "The impact of hair colouring on sporting performance is a tricky one," says Neil Forshaw. "Abel Xavier certainly backs claims that it has a negative effect but Gazza was sublime with the peroxide look."
41st over: England 162-1 (Trescothick 63, Vaughan 74) Lee is grunting and growling away, but this pitch looks as tricky as a GCSE media studies exam. "When he played for Derbyshire, a booze-fuelled Michael Slater once told an ex-girlfriend of mine that he was a hairdresser," says Trevor Brookes. "She only said no to him cutting her hair because she'd been to Toni and Guy earlier that day. Shame." Not bitter then, Trevor?
42nd over: WICKET! Trescothick c Gilchrist b Warne 63 (England 162-2) Warne's 600th Test wicket is one of his strangest: Trescothick sweeps at a short one, which clips his bat, hits Gilchrist's knee and rolls into the Aussie vice-captain's gloves. At the end of the over, Old Trafford crowd gives him a standing ovation. "Does Gillespie dye his hair?" ponders Charlie Rowlands. "He looks suspiciously grey at the roots. Hardly squares with the macho Australian image. In fact, why are we even discussing men's hair anyway? What is this, Big Brother Live?"
43rd over: England 166-2 (Vaughan 79, Bell 0) Quiet over from Lee. Meanwhile more does-hair-effect-performance talk. "Who could forget Dan Petrescu and his merry men letting a victory over England and a bottle of peroxide go to their heads before getting ceremonially dumped out of France 98 by Croatia," asks Alastair Judge (and others).
44th over: England 167-2 (Vaughan 79, Bell 1) The calypso batting has become more watchful, but at least Bell gets off the mark with a single to Warne. "This has no relevance to anything that's gone before, but I just wanted to let it be known that Scarlett Johansson accidentally touched my backsidewhile sitting next to me at the Groucho on Saturday night," says Jascha Elliot. "Can any OBO readers beat that for a sad attempt to bask in the reflected glory of a celebrity?"
45th over: England 173-2 (Vaughan 85, Bell 1) Lee tries another 92mph short one, but Vaughan is ready for it and flicks him down to fine leg for four. Incidentally, Andrew Steed wants to know: "Does anyone in their right mind think that Bell going to score more than 10 runs in this innings?" Why not Andrew?
46th over: England 173-2 (Vaughan 85, Bell 1) Warne is getting bounce as well as turn now. Bell holds on. Meanwhile Chris Blunt says he sat once sat next to Arthur Smith in the Sports Bar in Berlin. "We were watching the 1997 FA Cup Final on an italian satellite feed. Is that any good?" What do you think, Chris?
47th over: England 175-2 (Vaughan 87, Bell 1) Katich (number of Test wickets: 11) replaces Lee. His over is interrupted by a topless male streaker, but otherwise is fairly decent - just two runs for Vaughan. "Alastair McKenzie like totally looked at me while babbling into his mobile phone opposite the Assembly Rooms in Edinburgh the other evening," says Siobhan Kavanagh. "Oh for heaven's sake, he was Archie in Monarch of the Glen - get with it people."
48th over: England 175-2 (Vaughan 87, Bell 2) Warne continues to tie up England's batsmen - which begs the question, why wasn't he on earlier? "I snogged a girl who'd snogged the drummer out of Shed Seven," writes Timothy J Golby. "Somehow we managed to keep our tryst out of the papers, but that paparazzi lot are parasites."
49th over: England 185-2 (Vaughan 88, Bell 10) Katich serves up a juicy full toss to the hitertho diffident Bell, who smashes him straight down the ground for four. "I see Jascha Elliot's Scarlet Johansson encounter and raise her my experience on Tuesday night, when I played poker with none other than Dr Raj Persaud of Richard and Judy fame," says Chris Clough. "Needless to say, I didn't win."
50th over: England 185-2 (Vaughan 88, Bell 10) Bell passes another stern Warne examination, but is not looking like scoring. Maiden. "I filmed Franz Ferdinand before they were famous at a gig in Sheffield," says Matt Risby. "I have the tapes in which they discuss Eel-Skin shoes for over 30 minutes. Rock and Roll eh?"
51st over: England 186-2 (Vaughan 89, Bell 10) Katich's chinamen are surprisingly effective. Just one single for Vaughan. "I am reliably informed (by my mother, the source of all wisdom) that Seamus Heaney has used our loo. Howzat?" says Alex Cooke.
52nd over: England 193-2 (Vaughan 92, Bell 14) Bell is rewarded for his graft and fight with a boundary through midwicket. Warne's response? One that darts sideways and nearly takes the edge. "Not sure if this counts as a celebrity experience but I'm going to be on 'University Challenge - The Professionals' on Monday night, and when we filmed it we had a beer with Jeremy Paxman in the green room afterwards," says Matthew Swann. "He was a top bloke as well and clearly enjoyed a few beverages."
53rd over: England 194-2 (Vaughan 93, Bell 14) Vaughan edges closer to a Test hundred with another run. "I used to regularly chat with Brett Lee during the last Ashes series in the Bondi Hotel, where I worked as he is an Eastern S'burbs boy!" says Shane in London. "I actually made him admit Vaughan would've made the Aussie team when the big debate was that no Pom could better their opposite number! Andy Bichel said the same thing to me in Darwin on the eve of a Test match against Bangledesh, but he couldn't walk at the time, but Lee was completely sober when he said it."
54th over: England 195-2 (Vaughan 94, Bell 14) A great session for England ends with another Vaughan single. Tea. Meanwhile, for those of you who've asked, the term chinaman originates from EE Achong, the Chinese left arm spinner from the West Indies. Says Wikipedia: "Achong, the first test cricketer of Chinese ancestry, bowled a delivery turning from off to leg and had the English batsman Walter Robins stumped as a result. Legend has it that Robbins, as he walked back to the pavillion, remarked to the umpire, 'Fancy being done by a bloody Chinaman'. Cheers for your many hundreds of emails, sorry I couldn't use them all. Best, Sean

If you've got 3.5 hours to kill, John Carmack's Quakecon keynotes are always fascinating. id games may not be the greatest titles around, but Carmack's knowledge and skills continue to shape the future of gaming across multiple platforms. There's been a great deal of rumor and speculation about Valve's plans for Linux support, including the Steambox (which trusted sources have told us is an actual project). Newell's distaste for Windows 8 is well-known, and while I happen to disagree with him regarding Windows 8's likely impact on the game industry, there's no denying that Valve's actions will have an impact.
Carmack thinks Valve's move could shake things up and spark fresh interest in Linux as a gaming platform, but doesn't ultimately believe that Steam will change much. His remarks are below, slightly edited for clarity:

South Asian Bat Monitoring Program
The South Asian Bat Monitoring Program relies on volunteers who identify Indian flying fox bats and commit to studying them and obtaining population information on a regular basis. It consists entirely of volunteers and is the first such network to monitor the population of a species in South Asia. The information from all these sites will be compiled and analyzed for trends in the population of Indian flying fox (Pteropus giganteus), identify key threats to roosts and provide recommendations for their conservation.
The program aims to create awareness about bat conservation issues, involve and educate biologists and nature-lovers in studies about the biology of bats, and establish a conservation action plan. The Program will initially focus on one species, Pteropus giganteus, as it is the most known and recognizable bat species in South Asia.
Although there are anecdotal accounts that indicate that populations and roosts of many bat species are decreasing, there is no hard evidence. There is thus an urgent need to assess the populations of bats and to monitor them on a regular basis to determine population trends.

Pros: Terrific storytelling, memorable characters, and lots of history. Bliss!
Cons: None.
There are some authors out there that when they publish a new book, everything else I am reading gets set aside so that I can devour the latest release. One of those authors is novelist Sharon Kay Penman, whose novels on the twelfth and thirteenth century have kept me riveted for more than two decades now.
With Lionheart, Ms. Penman takes on the demanding task of exploring Richard the Lionheart, one of the more complicated and controversial figures of English history. Many historians and novelists have stayed with the simplistic notion that Richard was a marauding bloodthirsty butcher whose sexual habits were not to be spoken of. Namely, a pretty two dimensional character that has stuck in most people's minds. But Ms. Penman is one of those authors who takes a very different approach, digging into what is actually known, and then doing her best to bring the people alive for the reader. It's one of the reasons why I keep returning to her books again and again, and enjoying them anew every time.
The novel opens with a very brief section exploring the death of King Henry II, abandoned and broken-hearted and alone in his castle of Chinon. Richard, his eldest surviving son, quickly seizes control of the throne, and consolidates his power. He manages to pacify his other living brother, John, and frees his mother, Eleanor of Aquitaine, from her captivity, and starts about fulfilling his vow to go on Crusade to the Holy Land -- Outremer -- and free Jerusalem from the Saracens. As with most plans on paper it looks to be fairly easy.
The other king who has vowed to take the cross and fight is Richard's rival, Philippe of France, seething and envious of Richard's prowess on the battlefield, his fighting capabilities, and his popularity. Most of all, it's the fact that Richard has most of France under his control due to his vast inheritance from his parents that sticks in Philippe's craw the most.
And then there is another of Henry and Eleanor's children to consider -- Joanna, the Queen of Sicily. Married off at very young age, Joanna has grown up in the sunny, exotic cities of Palermo and Messina, turning into a beautiful young woman. Her life is a quiet one, where every wish is fulfilled, save for a living child to love and care for. Her husband is much older, and in addition to his wife, he keeps a harem of Saracen women to amuse him, a fact that Joanna bears with but not without a pang of jealousy. When her husband suddenly dies, Joanna finds herself a prisoner of a usurping king and no one to help her.
Finally, there is Berengaria of Navarre, a pretty young Spanish princess that Richard met some years earlier, and had taken a liking to. Mind that word, liking, not quite loving. While Richard is assembling his troops, ships and money, his mother, Eleanor, makes the trek over the Pyrenees, determined that Richard is going to be married and fathering a brood of children -- and soon. Her plan is to fetch Berengaria and bring her to wherever Richard is. Berengaria is rather protected and very naive, and at first she is dazzled by everything and scarcely says a word as she and Queen Eleanor scale the Alps and make a journey down to the island of Sicily where their lives will be entangled with Richard, Joanna and Philippe's.
There are setbacks, naturally, including an encounter with the Emperor of Cyprus, a ruthless man who isn't above threatening women to get what he wants, and most of all, the grim reality of Outremer. Outremer is a seething collection of native-born Frankish lords who know the reality of life there, which is nothing like what the newly arriving Crusaders imagine. Some adapt, most die, and a few cannot let go of their own rivalries and jealousies. Illness claims more than warfare, and the harsh climate will break anyone down. It all becomes a question of survival, with the prize of Jerusalem just dangling out of reach over the next hill...
What can I say? I found this to be a wonderful novel, far different than most of the ones that I have read about Richard the Lionheart and the third Crusade. This is a Richard that is learning painfully and quickly the roles of being king and husband, and not always succeeding. He's the greatest soldier in Christendom, but he's a ruthless man, willing to sacrifice whatever it takes to win. And for Richard, that means always winning. He's not too good at keeping his alliances either, and having to cope with Philippe is not the easiest of tasks, and those mistakes will come to haunt him later.
This too is a very different look at Philippe of France. Forget the urban, suave Philippe you saw in The Lion in Winter; this is a Philippe who knows he's second-rate compared to Henry II and Richard and that fact has eaten him up with jealousy and misery. He hates the Holy Land, and wants nothing more to see Richard preferably dead, and himself back in France making as much trouble as he can for John. It's a far cry from what most historical writers do with him, and here I found him very believable, and felt more than a little pity for him.
Most novelists ignore Joanna and Berengaria's roles in the life of the Lionheart, but not Ms. Penman. Here she takes the gamble of telling their stories, and it was wonderful to read. Joanna is just as strong-willed as her mother, but with a measure of reality to her, while Berengaria may look fragile but has a strong ability for resilience. I loved reading about both of them, and found myself not just believing these two characters, but also actively cheering them on. Berengaria I really enjoyed, finding her to be not just a cardboard cutout of the beautiful princess type, but finally freed of silliness and dimwittedness that most authors tack onto her.
There are plenty of other, more minor characters here as well. Some are historical, such as the de Lusignan brothers, and Balian of Ibelin, whom I hope that Ms. Penman will take the time to write about. There are others that are fictional, such as Morgan ap Rannulf, which sharp-eyed characters will recognize from the early trilogy about Henry and Eleanor, and Lady Mariam, a half-Saracen lady-in-waiting to Joanna.
The writing here is brisk, full of encounters and emotions that feel right for the place and time, filled with all sorts of little details that make the story come alive. The exploits of Richard in the Holy Land may sound fantastical, but they really did happen, and Ms. Penman's research into the stories are spot on. What I like is that while she isn't afraid to invent to carry over a story a little, the basic facts are there, all drawn from contemporary sources, both European and Arab, and comes to some very surprising conclusions. Most of the reasoning behind her decisions are given in her author's note at the end of the book, and please do not read that before you finish the book. It will give you an added punch, so don't ruin it for yourself.
There has been a lot of heated debate in recent decades as to whether Richard was a homosexual or not. What I found in here made me think, and it will be interesting to see what plays out in the second volume of this story, The King's Ransom. If you've read other books by Ms. Penman, this one dovetails neatly into the events of The Devil's Brood, and Here Be Dragons, without any backtracking or too much explainitis.
Two things did bother me a bit in this one. There was some anti-Semitism here and there, fortunately brief. While I knew it did happen, and it was integral to the story, I did find it very unpleasant to read. However, it really was how the world was viewed by our medieval ancestors, and so I could accept it, however vile it seems to most of the world today. The other was the overuse of having Eleanor being described in awe-inspiring terms every time she appeared on the scene. Yes, I know that she had reached semi-divine status by this point in her life, but I didn't need to have it pointed out all of the time.
In any case, this was a terrific novel to read, and well worth the wait. It does take some time for Ms. Penman's novels to appear on the shelves. However, they are worth the wait and the time to wade through them. They are smart, intelligent stories that tend to look at overlooked parts of the medieval world, or overworked stories of the varied kings of England. In any case, I am looking forward to the next installment of Richard, Berengaria, Joanna and Philippe's stories and give this one a big smacking five star rating. It just doesn't get much better than this.
Very much recommended.

|[Kde-games-devel] My review of Gluon
|Stefan Majewsky (kdem...@bethselamin.de)
|Aug 22, 2010 12:50:12 pm
[cross-post to kde-games-devel and gluon; WARNING: I'm not subscribed on gluon]
people keep telling me that Gluon is the future of FOSS gaming, gaming communities and stuff, and that I need to consider it for new games and stuff. I finally took the time for a first look at the Gluon libraries. openSUSE has Gluon packages (even with some example games), but it requires me to change permissions in my /dev/. At least, this is what the website tells me. To me, this smells like a severe design issue: I have no joystick and stuff, so you would just need to get mouse events from Qt (or X at most). At least, this has worked perfectly for my needs the last years.
I did not look at Gluon Creator, because, although it surely is a very impressive tool, I highly doubt that it can be useful to create games that integrate with KDE to the highst possible extent. This is my primary concern, after all. I want to take our KDE games to the next level (technology-wise) without abandoning what we currently have, like our SVG theming and KGameRenderer, or the ability to include external libraries (as used e.g. by KSirk).
So let's have a look at the libraries. The website has no documentation, but the source tree comes with a Doxyfile¹. After some first orientation, I am at GluonCore::GluonObject, which sounds fairly central. Quite the right place to examine the quality of the API.
I won't go over coding style (e.g. Java-style getters like "getStringFromProperty" vs. Qt-style getters like "fullyQualifiedName"). What really scares me is stuff like: (quoting from GluonObject::toGDL) "Do we need the parsing code in the GluonObject? Or can we separate this into a parser class? We need to separate this into a parser class, imo. Can wait until post- alpha though."
Seriously: You want people to start to use your libraries, yet defer finalization of core API until the beta cycle? I expect an API to be frozen (or at least source-compatible) by the first beta. Wait, there is also a GluonCore::GDLHandler class. So if this API has been finalized, please update the documentation. Remember, you want me to use this API, and Qt and KDE have set the bar high when it comes to APIDOX.
While we are at GDLHandler, let's have a look at the Gluon Definition Language. There is a syntax sample in the documentation:
{ ClassName(ObjectName) PropertyName DataTypeName(Value) PropertyName2 DataTypeName2(Value2) { ClassName(ObjectName) PropertyName DataTypeName(Value) } }
Uh, WTF? You include the data type name in there? Ever heard of context-based data type coercion (i.e. implicit conversion of the GDL literal to the value, based on the data type of the property)? Now that explains why it takes you over 200 LOC to implement GluonObject::setPropertyFromString and GluonObject::getStringFromProperty. And that is only a part of the serialization code. Compare to Kolf 2, which does its whole object serialization and deserialization in 65 LOC. And it does not need to store the data types anywhere. The funnier parts of this code use KConfig, and this is what I mean by KDE integration: reusing algorithms that have been proven for years, in thousands of applications.
Continuing on the code reuse topic, it is interesting how you do not use QML, which was in the works long before the GDL, and will most probably be the future of Qt user interface design (i.e. there will be many people accustomed to this language). Has this possibility been evaluated? QDeclarativeItem and subclasses are surely tailored towards the needs of the QGraphicsView-derived QDeclarativeView, but the underlying QDeclarativeEngine and QDeclarativeContext just deal with QObjects, i.e. nearly exactly what you do, too.
Then there are those points in the code which indicate that you have never used the API to build games with this API outside Gluon Creator. One example is GluonObjectFactory::instantiateObjectByName³, which breaks if you try to instantiate a class which is not in a namespace (a very common scenario in hand-coded applications). Also, it would be quite fruitful to run krazy against the code. A "const float&" return value (GluonGraphics::Item::alpha) is just stupid.
I need to come back from code quality to the fundamental issues again. One of these fundamental issues is that GluonGraphics is mostly fixed to OpenGL. While OpenGL is a good choice for many games, I do want to be able to fall back to a software renderer on devices with bad OpenGL support. With plain Qt widgets (or QGV or QML), I have the possibility to change between different 2D graphics systems⁴ without even re-compiling.
So my fundamental issues with Gluon, after this one-hour review, are: 1. its partly bad code quality 2. its partly bad documentation quality 3. its partly abstruse API design 4. my impression that usage of existing Qt-style libraries above QtGui (like QML, or also KConfig) has not even been evaluated
Especially the last point is interesting to me because I feel like I am always accused of this when I am not considering Gluon to be ready for my needs. This review strengthens this opinion. Please take this text as an incomplete collection of points on which you need to improve if you want to be taken seriously by game developers who are too much limited by Gluon Creator. Regardless of that, your work on Gluon Creator is awesome. Continue on this way.
Greetings Stefan
¹ The Doxyfile is actually broken: "INPUT = /home/leinir/gluon-helper/gluon". ² The code is at trunk/playground/games/kolf2/base, lines 109-161 in managedobjectstate.cpp and lines 31-57 in utils-bytearraycodec.cpp. ³ This method could be much faster if you used m_objectTypes.find() instead of m_objectTypes.keys().indexOf(), esp. because you do not need to construct the keys list in every call, and because you can use the iterator returned by find() to obtain the value in the next line. ⁴ One of these graphics systems is 2D OpenGL, though this engine is not stable, but it is improving at an amazing pace.

Good Cookies (Oatmeal Cookies with Honey)
If you like it, save it!
Save and organize all of the stuff you love in one place.Got it!
If you like something…
Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: This recipe comes from my late mother-in-law. The name of the recipe doesn't come from hubris -- but from the way kids described them (as in, "Can you make me the good cookies?"). The cookies seem modest and unassuming, but the oats and honey combo is what makes them special -- in terms of texture and taste.
Given the number of oatmeal cookie recipes entered in the current contest, and the version from Jenny in Jenny's in the Kitchen, it's beginning to feel a bit like an oatmeal cookie throwdown. But, hey, the more the merrier -- since we could all use a good oatmeal cookie (of whatever type) -- or two -- or six....
I hope you'll enjoy these.
Please note the note at the bottom of the recipe. I've listed all the ingredients per my mother-in-law's version, and the variation I generally use in the note. My husband is anti-nut and chocolate-obsessive, and the variation accomodates anti-nut, chocolate-obsessiveness. —louisez
Makes 3-4 dozen
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 cups quick-cooking (not instant) oatmeal
- 1 package (12 oz.) chocolate chips
- 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- Combine butter, sugars, vanilla, and honey. Beat well to cream. Beat eggs in one at a time. Stir in flour, salt, and baking soda. Stir in oatmeal. Mix well. Stir in chocolate chips and nuts.
- Drop by scant teaspoons on greased cookie sheets (or sheets lined with silpats). Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for about 10 minutes.
- Note: For the anti-nut, chocolate-obsessive version: eliminate the nuts; add equivalent in chocolate (though I have been known to double the amount of chocolate, that variation on the variation might be only for the truly chocolate-obsessed). As for the chocolate itself, you can use chocolate du choix --semisweet chips or chunks, any chocolate you like (chopped or cut in chunks), or any combination that suits you.

BP Reports Some Success In Stopping Leak
British oil company BP announced Sunday that it had started siphoning oil from the leaking Gulf of Mexico well onto a tanker on the surface.
Though not commenting on how much oil was being siphoned, BP executive Kent Wells said the process was "working well".After two previous failed attempts to insert a long narrow tube into the leaking pipe, the company succeeded on its third try using underwater robots.
More than three-quarters of the leak should be contained with the 6 inch wide tube and stopper, and a smaller spill nearby was also contained.
The tool became dislodged Saturday night, but was back in place by Sunday, said senior vice president Wells at the firm's US headquarters in Houston, Texas. He said the company plans to increase the amount of oil flowing through the pipe to the tanker over the next couple of days.
BP also made clear its position on paying for damages for the disaster, a day after the US government demanded immediate clarification on the issue. The Obama administration said in a letter it wanted to be sure BP would honor commitments not to limit costs to a US cap of $75 million.
BP last week said the cap was irrelevant and it would settle all legitimate damages claims. "What they are requesting in the letter is absolutely consistent with all our public statements on the matter," said BP spokesman David Nicholas on Sunday.
BP would not comment on discoveries made by scientists of possible new vast plumes of oil below the ocean's surface.
Researchers from the National Institute for Undersea Science and Technology said they had detected the slicks lurking just beneath the surface of the sea and at depths of 4,000ft.
Scientists say that the chemical dispersants BP has been dumping into the water may be preventing the oil from reaching the surface. The find suggests the scale of the potential environmental disaster is far worse than previously feared since the explosion more than three weeks ago.
BP tried to cap the well a week ago with a massive box, but gave up after it became encrusted with ice crystals.
The spill is threatening to eclipse the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill and become the worst environmental disaster in America.

If there's one thing about conservatives that never ceases to amazing me, it's how easily they're manipulated. I've often joked that I really don't even need to debate conservatives, all I really need to do is turn on Fox News, because they're just going to regurgitate whatever is said on that network.
They're built on talking points. I call it bumper sticker politics. If it's too long and complicated to fit on a bumper sticker, then most conservatives really don't seem able to grasp it.
So, I decided I'd mock 10 of my favorite conservative talking points to expose just how ludicrous and hypocritical many of these people are.
Let's get started…
1) We're the party for fiscal responsibility… which is true, as long as they're talking about President Dwight D. Eisenhower. You see, he was the last Republican president to actually balance the budget – in the 1950's.
2) We're pro-life… as long as you're talking about a fetus. Otherwise they cut programs that help the poor, oppose universal health care so people can live longer and often brag about the number of executions their particular state performs each year. Oh, and they love guns. You know, the tools largely responsible for around 9,000 homicides in this country each year.
3) We're for small government… until it comes to trying to restrict homosexuals from having equal rights or blocking a woman's constitutionally protected right to have an abortion, then they love government.
4) We support our troops… by sending over 4,400 of them to die in a war based on blatant lies. And by blocking veterans bills for the ones who do manage to make it home alive.
5) We're for Constitutional rights… until someone with which they disagree is given rights they don't think they should have, then they can't stand the Constitution.
6) We stand for religious freedom… for Christians. More specifically, conservative Christians. Because if you're a liberal church that wants to marry a gay couple in a state which currently still has a ban in place on gay marriage, then suddenly conservatives don't care at all about that church's "religious freedom."
7) Our Second Amendment says our right to bear arms shall not be infringed… always amusing how they ignore the entire first part of the Second Amendment referring to "a well regulated militia."
8) Abraham Lincoln was a Republican… yes, he was. But let's use a little logic here, shall we? Practically every state that fought with the Confederacy also opposed a woman's right to vote, desegregation and the Civil Rights act. Those states are today almost all "strongly Republican" states. Racism and discrimination that's spanned well over 150 years and passed on through several generations. Furthermore, did they suddenly forget about the Southern Strategy?
9) I don't trust the "lamestream" media… said by people who worship Fox News, the most watched cable news channel on television. Being the "most watched" defines what it means to be "mainstream."
10) The government is corrupt and inefficient… said by people who continue to elect politicians who run on the premise that the government is corrupt and inefficient – and once elected do their best to see that it is.
A couple of honorary mentions:
This house doesn't call 9-1-1… I sincerely hope they reconsider in the event of a medical emergency or fire.
Guns don't kill people, people kill people… yes, and they tend to kill one another far more often when guns are easily accessible within a society.
The only way to stop a bad guy with a gun, is a good guy with a gun… I'm fairly certain the first few victims the "bad guy with a gun" claimed before the "good guy with a gun" could identify and shoot him feel differently.
This nation was founded on Christianity… then why aren't the words "Christian" or "Christianity" written in our Constitution even once?
Wow, I could honestly keep going on and on. Maybe I'll do a part two. Hit me up on Twitter and let me know what you think.

A patient was forced to wait for more than four hours before being admitted to the Conquest Hospital.
A Freedom of Information request from the Labour party to the NHS revealed one patient waited four hours and 15 minutes between arriving at the hospital and being seen by doctors.
In the South East Coast Ambulance Service (SECAmb) area – which covers Brighton & Hove, East Sussex, West Sussex, Kent, Surrey, and North East Hampshire - 25,298 patients had to wait more than 30 minutes and 3,047 had to wait over an hour. New arrivals should enter the hospital within 15 minutes and the ambulance trusts record delays in excess of 30 minutes.
Sarah Owen, Labour's parliamentary candidate in Hastings and Rye, said: "These unacceptable delays are worrying and won't be for a want of trying by hard working ambulance and A&E staff, who are left over stretched, understaffed and under-resourced. In Hastings and across the south east, we are seeing waiting times soar to the state they were in the early 1990s.
"This mess urgently needs to be addressed to ensure patients can get the proper care they need."
Sarah Wilmer, head of nursing urgent care at East Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust, which runs the Conquest, said: "In general, longer handover times reflect periods of significant operational pressure on the hospital which reduce the flow of patients throughout the hospital and affect our ability to admit patients in a timely manner.
"Though our work with SECAmb we have introduced Hospital Ambulance Liaison Officers who are able to support during these busy handover times.
"We are working with our GP colleagues and Adult Social Care to find better alternatives to bringing some patients to an acute hospital and ensuring that patients stay in hospital no longer than they need to."
Richard Airey, spokesman for South East Coast Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust, said: "SECAmb does not keep patients in the back of ambulances when there are handover delays. Patients are taken into the hospital and we look after them either on the ambulance stretcher or a hospital trolley. This happens in any space we can find around the A&E dept, mainly in the corridors/waiting areas.
"This is where we "cohort" or group patients while waiting to hand them over to the hospital staff. This process involves a paramedic manager remaining at the hospital and carrying out clinical observations on patients with non-life-threatening conditions if there is any delay in them being admitted into A&E.
"SECAmb works closely with all hospital trusts across our region to ensure the time it takes to hand over a patient is kept to a minimum so that this does not exceed the time which is clinically necessary and so our crews are not delayed in getting back out to responding to patients in the community.
"There are times when the NHS is extremely busy and when this handover takes longer than we would like."

At our office, we are so very lucky that we have our very own flower arranger. Every month, Dorte creates the most beautiful and fantastic flower decorations for our magazine. She is a creative soul and hates to see things go to waste. Last time we did an article about flowers, Dorte transformed the remains into the most gorgeous Easter decorations. And now these decorations are spread throughout our premises, much to the joy of all JDL employees. What a difference it makes to have such a nice little pot of spring flowers and a bit of hay and shells on your desk. It is highly recommended.
Happy Easter everyone…/Vivian

The first real day of spring...
We wait and wait and long for spring and then, suddenly, it is here. The first real day of spring... 2-digit temperatures, blue skies, sunshine, chirping birds and you cannot resist going outside, coffee mug in hand, when you have 5 minutes. Inside, you feel happy and you know your co-workers feel the same way. It so happened today that our skilled editorial office flower arranger, Dorte, and I had to go shopping for spring flowers for an article about flowers. The first real day of spring at our location. It felt so good going to all the local florists, browsing. Everywhere we went, we met expectant and happy people shopping for flowers and plants for their flower bowls and gardens. We must admit that the desire to fill the car and get started ourselves was very strong. If the weather holds, we will have ourselves a weekend project or two. It gives me great pleasure to sweep the steps and plant flowers in a bowl or two... And removing that last string of lights is probably about time, too! Happy Spring everybody…/Vivian

Wash and wear. I iron once or twice a year
by Christy on Oct. 8, 2012 at 11:27 PM
Most of it is wash and wear but I iron whatever may need it.
Very rarely. I make sure to hanf or fold everything fresh out of the dryer so that ironing is not needed. If I wanted to wear something or have the kids wear something that needs ironing then i certainly would bc I can't stand wrinkled clothes. Clothes that are made to have that wrinkled look annoy me. Lol!
