Dear Girl ~Stories~ Episode 19 Recap & Selected Translations
by Arria Cross
< Episode 18 | Episode 20 >
Episode Guide
Ep. 19 Title: あ…お帰り! (A…Okaeri! / Ah, welcome back!)
Opening Talk
The 19th episode starts. At first, we only hear OnoD and Mecha HiroC.
Mecha HiroC: Thank you for all the things you've done for me. I'm back.
OnoD: Ahahaha! Welcome BACK! Ahaha!
OnoD continues playing Mecha HiroC. So funny.
Mecha HiroC: I'm sorry for making you worry.
OnoD: What are you saying, HiroC? Ahaha! Hosting with Sugita-kun last week was difficult. Somehow, I now completely understand HiroC's burdens.
Mecha HiroC: I would never have thought that you care about me so much. I'm so happy, you know. Thanks.
OnoD: Ahaha. Really, HiroC. You're so cute! Mecha HiroC, you're so cute!
Mecha HiroC: Shut up! Don't call me cute!
OnoD: Ahaha! You're really cute when you say "Don't call me cute".
Mecha HiroC: Shut up! Don't call me cute!
OnoD: But that's what's so cute about you.
Real HiroC: Good evening, this is Kamiya Hiroshi.
HiroC is all business, praising everyone for working hard during his absence the last episode and saying that he had a cold, while OnoD continues playing Mecha HiroC over and over again in the background. So funny! And I'm so happy that HiroC's back.
Episode Title
OnoD: A…Okaeri! (Ah, welcome back!)
HiroC: A, tadaima. (Ah, I'm back.)
Both: AHAHAHA!!!
Futsu Ota
OnoD dramatically notices that HiroC is back. HiroC explains that he was sick and jokingly coughs aloud to make the point, making OnoD protest not to cough at him and infect him.
It's so cute when HiroC sounds like he's sulking as he talks about Sugita Tomokazu filling in for him during the last episode. He says that OnoD sounds like he enjoyed himself more with Sugita than when he's hosting with HiroC, so perhaps it's better if HiroC takes another absence the next week and let Sugita fill in for him again.
HiroC: Isn't it better for this show to be called "Ono Daisuke and Sugita Tomokazu's Dear Girl ~Stories~" instead?
OnoD: Ohaha! Don't get mad!
HiroC: Ahahaha!
OnoD: Don't act like that. This show is "Kamiya Hiroshi and Ono Daisuke's Dear Girl ~Stories~"!
HiroC: That's right.
Aaaaw. OnoD's so sweet! OnoD tells HiroC that the show went on normally last episode, exceeding his expectations. HiroC says that if the show runs smoothly without him, perhaps it's better for him to leave and for them to ask Sugita to replace him for good.
OnoD: Can I say something frank?
HiroC: Sure. What is it?
OnoD: I'm very sorry!
HiroC: What for?
OnoD: I now completely understand Kamiya-san's feelings.
All: AHAHAHAHA!!!
OnoD: Dealing with someone who's acting so foolish, I almost lost my temper many times.
HiroC: AHAHAHA!!! See, now you know.
OnoD explains what happened with him and Sugita during the last episode. He tells HiroC that when asked very normal questions, Sugita would provide over-the-top, non-serious answers that really challenged OnoD's patience. It's like HiroC dealing with OnoD, that's why he's saying the he now knows what HiroC must be feeling whenever they host the show together.
HiroC: At least something good resulted from my absence.
OnoD: And, uhm, you know…Sugita-kun was saying that, er, he wants to…uhm, guest again here next week.
HiroC: …what? He wants to guest here again next week?
OnoD: Yeah.
HiroC: Eeeeeeh! Well then. I'll just be absent again next week.
OnoD: No way.
OnoD tells HiroC that he must come to work next episode when Sugita guests again because Kamiya Hiroshi is someone Sugita respects greatly. HiroC plays Mecha OnoD, teasing him. So funny! HiroC is so adorable acting all jealous of Sugita. Ehehe.
Finally, they read a listener letter.
Sent by Yuika, read by HiroC.
Kamiya-san and OnoD-san, good evening! This is sudden but do you know about the recent craze called "Nounai Maker"? I entered both of your names. As for the results…please check them out yourselves!
Suwa: AHAHAHA!!!
OnoD: What's with that?
I'm sure that seeing the results with your own eyes would be super fun!
HiroC: Do you know about this Nounai Maker?
OnoD: Yeah. I actually already used it before.
HiroC: Really? Then….
OnoD: I already know my own results.
HiroC: Ah, same here. I also know my own results.
Then HiroC announces that the print-outs for their results are in front of them.
Nounai Maker is a Japanese online generator where you enter a name and then it tells you what that person is thinking most of the time. It's super fun! If you're able to read Nihongo, then I recommend that you try it for yourself here. It's super fun!
First up is HiroC's Nounai Maker results.
Inside Kamiya Hiroshi's Head
悩 (nayami) – worries
食 (shoku) – food
嘘 (uso) – lies
H (ecchi) – perverted stuff
HiroC: It turns out that my mind is only made up of 4 things. I'm too shallow, apparently. Humans are too shallow.
OnoD: Yours are all related to desire, aren't they?
HiroC: Desire? Worries, lies, ecchi. Well, it turns out I'm just a shallow human being. How about you?
OnoD: Well, mine is a bit similar to yours.
Inside Ono Daisuke's Head
酒 (sake) – alcohol
嘘 (uso) – lies
H (ecchi) – perverted stuff
愛 (ai) – love
OnoD: Mine says sake…
HiroC: Sake?
OnoD: …and then uso, ecchi…
HiroC: Ah, yeah. We're similar.
OnoD: …and ai.
HiroC: Ai?! Your last one is love?!!
Afterwards, HiroC says that in addition to the regular Nounai Maker, there's also a compatibility Nounai Maker where you can enter at least two names to find out what kind of images these two people have for each other.
*Note: Unfortunately, this feature is not available anymore at the nounai maker website so I can't give you the link. I know, right? 😦
Kamiya Hiroshi x Ono Daisuke Compatibility
1. Kamiya Hiroshi's Mental Image of Ono Daisuke
思 (omou) – think
HiroC: It's omou…100%.
OnoD: Oy! Ahahaha! Eh?! So you're always thinking about me?
HiroC: I know, right? I wonder why. This is pretty rare, don't you think so?
OnoD: Yeah.
2. Ono Daisuke's Mental Image of Kamiya Hiroshi
A bit lower than 50% 思 (omou) – think
A bit higher than 50% 欲 (yoku) – desire
All: AHAHAHA! AHAHAHA!! AHAHAHAHA!!!
HiroC: What the hell does this mean?! What the hell?!!
OnoD: Desire…Your results say that Kamiya-san thinks about me 100%, while I think about you only 50% of the time and the other half says I desire you. Ahaha!
HiroC: Yeah, it says you desire me.
OnoD: Ahahaha!
HiroC: What the hell does this mean?!
OnoD: I wonder what kind of desire it is. For money?
HiroC: I wonder if it's for money.
OnoD: I wonder if it's me desiring Kamiya-san's small change of coins. Ahaha!
HiroC: Hey! I have quite the small change, you know!
OnoD: Ahaha!! Well, I'm always desiring your small change.
Next, they enter last episode's guest storyteller Sugita Tomokazu (杉田智和) into the Nounai Maker.
Inside Sugita Tomokazu's Head
悩 (nayami) – worries
悪 (aku) – evil
HiroC: So Sugita-kun's results are…a bit lower than 50%, nayami. Well, that's pretty normal since all people have worries.
OnoD: Uh-huh.
HiroC: And then, a little bit higher than 50%, it says EVIL.
Both: AHAHAHA!!! AHAHAHAHA!!! HAHAHAHAHA!!!!
I'm crying and laughing at the same time. This is too funny. Then they do the compatibility nounai maker.
Ono Daisuke x Sugita Tomokazu Compatibility
1. Sugita Tomokazu's Mental Image of Ono Daisuke
思 (omou) – think
OnoD: Ooooh.
HiroC: There are many people thinking about you, Ono-kun.
OnoD: Thank you very much!
2. Ono Daisuke's Mental Image of Sugita Tomokazu
好 (suki) – like
嫌 (kirai) – hate
HiroC: Your first mental image of him is suki.
OnoD: Eeeeeh. Ah, it's the character of (joshi) 女子 as in (suki) 好?
HiroC: Yes.
OnoD: Ooooh. Eeeeh. I wonder why.
HiroC: And then, the other half is…kirai.
Both: AHAHAHAHA!!! AHAHAHA!!! AHAHAHA!!!
OnoD: That's like I have an "otomegokoro" (maiden heart).
HiroC: What the heck's with you two?! This is so embarrassing.
I'm laughing so hard. Aaaah. This is too funny!
Kamiya Hiroshi x Sugita Tomokazu Compatibility
1. Kamiya Hiroshi's Mental Image of Sugita Tomokazu
愛 (ai) – love
H (ecchi) – perverted stuff
OnoD: Oh! Ahahaha! This is awesome. I wonder how should I go about this. Let's start with Kamiya-san. It's 50-50. 50% is love.
HiroC: Love?
OnoD: Yes, love. This is good. A senpai's love for his kouhai. The other half is…ECCHI!
All: AHAHAHA! AHAHAHA!!
HiroC: Aaah, is that so? So it's like that, huh. BAKA!!!
2. Sugita Tomokazu's Mental Image of Kamiya Hiroshi
About 80% 友 (tomo) – friend
About 10% 好 (suki) – like
About 10% 敵 (teki) – enemy
OnoD: About 70-80% is tomo.
HiroC: Ah, tomo?
OnoD: Yes, as in friend. And then…ehehehe! Uhmmm, next about 10% is suki.
HiroC: Ah, as in like.
OnoD: And the last 10% is ENEMY.
All: AHAHAHA!! AHAHAHA!! AHAHAHA!!!
HiroC: That's so like Sugita-kun!
OnoD: So he's like, Tomo Tomo Tomo Tomo Tomo Tomo! Suki Suki, Teki Teki!
HiroC: Ahahaha! He has quite a lot of thoughts about me.
OnoD: Yeah. While you only have two: love and ecchi.
HiroC: Although I'm giving him my love and my body, it seems I'm an enemy to him.
They invite you to try out the Nounai Maker. I tried it myself. Here are the results. It seems that depending on how I type my name, it gives me different results.
1. Arria Cross
About 50% 食 (shoku) – food
About 40% H (ecchi) – perverted stuff
About 10% 休 (yasumu) – rest
Well, this is so me. I think about food a LOT. As for ecchi, hmmm…maybe? I do like BL manga, so perhaps that counts? As for rest, I think it should be a larger percentage than 10% since I like to take a break whenever I have the chance.
2. arria cross (all lower case)
About 99% 友 (tomo) – friend
About 1% 嘘 (uso) – lies
I just changed my name to all lower case and the results changed completely. It seems that I think about my friends 99% of the time while I only think about lies 1%. I don't think this is very accurate, but I'm quite happy with the results. Maybe.
3. ARRIA CROSS (all upper case)
友 (tomo) – friend
When I enter my name in all upper case, I apparently think of my friends 100% of the time. Now this is super inaccurate. It's a nice result, though. Sorry, friends. I don't really think about you ALL the time. Only sometimes. Don't worry, though. I still love you!
4. アリアクロス
About 20% 食 (shoku) – food
About 80% 悩 (nayami) – worries
Now when I enter my name in katakana, the results change again. I must admit that this may be accurate, too, but…oh well. Ahahah! But if I admit about this, it seems that I'm a walking stomach. The most interesting thing is that food surrounds my worries. So does this mean that I'm protecting myself from worries with food? Like stress eating? Now THAT'S accurate. I often eat a lot when I'm stressed, although when I'm SUPER stressed, I end up not eating at all. Hmmm. Something to think about.
5. アリア・クロス
About 80% 愛 (ai) – love
About 10% H (ecchi) – perverted stuff
About 10% 秘 (himitsu) – secret
Finally, I enter my name another way…still in katakana but separating my first and last name. Hmmmm. I think this is my favourite result so far. I won't say that it's the most accurate, but it's still accurate in a way. Again, it's interesting that ecchi and secret are surrounding love. So does this mean that I'm hiding my love with pervertedness and secrecy? AHAHAHA!!!
So you see, depending on how you write your name, you'll get different results. Try it. It's super fun! You can enter the names of your friends, pets, family members, or whatever name you want. Once again, if you can read Nihongo, I highly encourage you to try Nounai Maker here.
Anyway, my apologies for the long digression. Now let's return to this episode's recap. Here we go.
Dear Girl Jouhou
HiroC's new chaku voices will be available August that year at the Seiyuu Pick-up Corner on the website. HiroC plays Mecha OnoD, teasing him. HiroC will be doing a cat chaku voice that is guaranteed to be cute, while HiroC continues to mess around with Mecha OnoD.
Animelo Uta Corner is up for a site renewal into a new corner where they will feature and stream anime seiyuu artists's CM movies. It will be called Animelo Movie. A CM of OnoD's first mini-album Hinemosu (ひねもす) will be available there.

Animelo's Scary Summer Special is still ongoing where scary chaku voices by your favourite radio seiyuu personalities will be streamed. They're also still accepting submissions for scary summer stories.
Finally they play HiroC's character song which will be released August that year. It's for the character Tatara Phoron titled "Way to Go". The vocals is not the best, but the song is quite good.
Sylph Soudanshitsu
They feature the manga Lilia and Treize (リリアとトレイズ) by Haruse Hiroki (晴瀬ひろき).
Haruse-sensei was featured before in the show where he shared that he's been frequently mistaken as female even though he's male just because his work is serialized in a girls' comics. Refer to Episode 6.
Haruse Hiroki-sensei's Nayami Story:
Kamiya-san and Ono-san, good evening. Thank you for such a wonderful discussion last time. For this time, it's now summer and to cool down, I like eating tomatoes with sugar at home, but my friend tells me, "You're unbelievable! You shouldn't be doing that!" So what I do is not normal? What do the two of you think? If you haven't tried it yet, how about try eating it?
Of course, as usual, tomatoes and sugar are placed in front of them to try. Against their expectations, they say sugared tomatoes taste delicious. It seems that all of them, including the staff, tried them. They like it!
HiroC: Haruse-sensei, this works!
Dear Letter
Sent by Suzuka, read by HiroC.
Dear my precious mother,
I'm sorry for always worrying you. I have already said "thank you" to you before but since I feel embarrassed, I don't always say it. I was so surprised that I cried when you got ill five years ago, but you warmly embraced me into your arms to make me feel better. I still remember that moment. I look forward the most to the day that you're completely recovered and I can finally tell you "thank you". Until that day comes, please wait.
So heartwarming. HiroC & OnoD think so, too.
Ending Talk
They promote Animelo Summer Live 2007 at Nippon Budokan. Three DVD's will cover the entire event. HiroC shares that he participated in the event and agrees that it needed three DVD's to cover the entire event.
The DVD for the Animelo Summer Live 2007 is now out of print and I think you can only buy them second-hand or from specialty stores. But the theme song of the event titled "Generation-A" can still be bought from CDJapan.

Animelo Summer Live 2007 Theme Song: Generation-A [w/ DVD, Limited Edition]
You can watch the MV for "Generation-A" sung by various artists here. It's quite good.
Then HiroC reads the show's title, forgetting OnoD's name, so it's Kamiya Hiroshi's Dear Girl ~Stories~ instead. OnoD protests, of course. So funny. OnoD says that he can't read because of the tears in his eyes, so HiroC reads his part as well.
Once again, HiroC jokes about taking an absence next episode because Sugita is coming again to guest. OnoD cutely tells him to come to work.

It's time for another round of NEW-ness here at The Creative Life!!
This past Saturday I did something NEW...I ran my first 10k!
I started running back in August with the app Count-to-5K for 2 reasons: (1) I wanted to be an example of a healthy lifestyle to my kids and (2) I had my SILs and some great friends who had started running and I was totally inspired by the confidence it had been giving them.
So I just...started running. The Couch-to-5k (and eventually the 5k-to-10k app) really helped hold my hand through the process. Being someone who's never been "sporty" I had no clue where to start.
I had a lot of cheerleaders like my SILs Kelly and Leslie, my sister Leslie, and my friends Kristen and Kelly, but my biggest was this girl right here!
My friend Deana has already run a half-marathon and a full-marathon and was my go-to person for all my questions, my "OMG...what am I doing?" moments and my confidence builder when I was injured a few weeks ago and wasn't even sure if I was going to be able to run at all.
We ran the 10K together and even though she finished about 10 minutes ahead of me, she made her way back on the course after she had crossed the finish line to run the last 1/4 mile with me.
Here is my first metal:
And here is where my family and I went for my "victory" breakfast afterwards!!!
So what next? Well...this race was my "practice" race for a half-marathon I am scheduled to run in just 2 weeks. Since my injury put me behind on my training schedule (I had to take 2 weeks off), I am a little more nervous now than I was when I ran 10 miles 4 weeks ago, but I'm not going to give up!
Heidi Swapp's Color Pop is one of my FAVORITE new things out there in the paper-crafting world. I've always loved the "resist" products, but where as all other products resist white, Heidi has taken it up a notch and made her resists BRIGHT Colors and Fun, Bold Patterns.
In her Color Pop Collection, she has her trademark Memory Files in all sorts of yumminess like Teal Chevron, Pink Polk-Dot and Black Diagonal Stripes, shown here in front, which is what I used to make MY first ever Memory File!
I decided I wanted to do a fun Yellow and Black color scheme, so I used Tattered Angels' Jingle Bells Glimmer Mist on my folder.
I wanted my Memory File to be all about my hottie hubby and me, so I had this really cute picture my SIL had given me of us from a few years ago. From there it was just all about adding fun. I popped a lot of it up to give it a lot of depth and allow me to "tuck" embellishments here and there. (See below for a complete supply list!)
So fun, right?
You can join me over the next few months in my NEW SERIES as I add to my File and join me in building more memories!
Until then my friends...enjoy YOUR Creative Life...where ever it may lead you.
Complete Supply list of today: Memory File: Heidi Swapp; Patterned Paper: Echo Park, Glitz Design and My Mind's Eye; Chipboard Arrows: Pink Paislee; Washi Tape: Sandy Lion and Recollections; Enamel Dots: Teresa Collins; Lace: May Arts; Title Card: Glitz Design; Stamps: Fiskars; Glitter Dots: Mark Richardson; Button: Teresa Collins; Gem: Paper Studio; Paint: Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist in Jingle Bell; Misc: Harlequin Felt (had it so long....no idea who made it! LOL!)

Obama's Revenue Soup
A history lesson on capital gains taxes.
In "Annie Hall," Woody Allen tells the joke of two women complaining about a restaurant. The first says the food here is awful and the second replies, yes, and they serve such small portions. Sounds like President Obama's proposal to raise the capital-gains tax: It will hurt the economy and it won't raise much new revenue.
Mr. Obama's plan would raise the capital-gains rate on January 1 to 20% on those who earn more than $200,000 ($250,000 for couples), plus a 3.8% investment surtax to finance ObamaCare. That 23.8%...

I've edited this post today because I cried this morning. It is not that I'm prone to emotional upheavals but a video link a friend sent me left me shaken, and I could feel the nausea an hour after I watched it!
Many of my previous post have a link with the elephant. To most of us, our only encounter with these gentle giants are only when we meet them at a temple or parade. We never give a second thought as to how they reached where they are, amongst us; the most callous, cruel and scheming of all God's creations.
In the course of searching for an old set of photographs, I ran into my old friend, the Clay Elephant, as I call him. It seems relevant now considering the number of reports about captive elephants running amok.
Please click the Link in Pink to meet the Clay Elephant of Guruvayur. Strictly speaking this post has no link to Woodcrawling, but the main protagonist should have been roaming free in one of India's forests. Unfortunately, he lives, chained for life, in Punathoor Kota in Guruvayur as one of the Lord's elephants.
Today, I too realized that while I walked around photographing these beautiful pachyderms on my visit to Guruvayur and other temple festivals in Kerala, I have never really thought about how they came to be where they were in the first place. If a self proclaimed Woodcrawler has not applied thought to the fundamental reason as to how & why a temple elephant became a temple elephant, I can imagine the rest of the world.
Ignorance is bliss and when truth hits you hard, it really hurts. I had posted on how elephants think in third part of my blog series on the Aftermath of an Elephant Attack. After seeing this video by Kalyan Varma, I am left speechless!
If this is the solution to human-elephant conflicts, it disgusts me! It is we, who have encroached on their territories and cramped them for space by blocking their migration corridors. We forget that these gentle creatures have no politics or any vicious agenda. They only want to move freely in what is rightfully their home. It is we who have occupied their space not the other way around. It is we who should be moved out of the traditional homeland of elephants.
This video is only a short bit of the entire story. If a ten minute clip can leave you shattered I can't imagine how it will be to sit through the 20 hours of recording. I can also imagine what turmoils Kalyan Varma would have gone through, seeing this first hand.
Here is the clip. Be prepared for some stomach churning scenes.
My friend the Clay Elephant too would probably have gone through a similar painful experience. Now he spends his life chained up with more than 50 such magnificent tuskers in Punathoor Kota, Guruvayur. He is destined to live, suffer and die in those heavy chains.
If you love these gentle giants don't just view this clip and keep silent. Raise your voice and protest. Let the temple elephants and other captive elephants take a step towards freedom. I know it is wishful thinking but this cruelty has to stop, and unless someone protests elephants in India will suffer this fate!
Please share the post............. for the sake of the elephants!

Favorite Illustrators

Her sweet, simple lines are very appealing, Carol. Being married to a graphic designer/illustrator, I've been drawn to the line art of different eras. My good teacher friend June, (now retired) is married to an artist also, and he came and drew characters for a Bible story in Chapel one day. I enjoyed watching his images come to life as I've watched my Larry do so many times, but the difference I saw was how his little cartoons reflected the time of his youth, like old Mickey Mouse people, while Larry's has more feel of a Dennis the Menace era, the 60's-70's being our pre-twenties years. Just an observation I'm sharing.
I hope your Mother's Day is a great one!
Hugs, pokey

I hope that you have a great mothers day tomorrow. I just got home from 3 days of graduation events for Eric from Michigan State University. They did a very nice job recognizing him for his academic accomplishments. It will be a great Mothers Day tomorrrow for me to have them all home and relaxing.

Cake/Pastry Making: Generations – at Cakes by Yda
Who's ready to read about Cakes by Yda? (",)
I hope you are, my dear readers, since I've more than alluded to this new-ish food depot with a double mention: at the Find Good Baguio Food's FB Page and in one blog post about new additions to our Baguio restaurant list.
The first time I heard about these baked treats was at our first dining experience at Cafe de Angelo. Whilst taking photos of the place, New York cheesecake was sitting come hither like in the display case. Cakes by Yda the tag said and as soon as Race and I got home, I ran a search for the establishment.
After a lot of enviable check-ins from my new Baguio food quest companion (introductions below), we (X+1 Race) finally got to try something of Yda's.

Emotional HealingMethods
Dr. Gil Alvarado, N.D., L.Ac., Dipl. Ac. (NCCAOM) is a naturopathic physician and acupuncturist with over 35 years experience helping people improve their health.
Emotional healing can take place on many levels and effect a wide range of areas of a person's life. Unlike the other categories listed in the "Methods" section of this web site, emotional healing is not a single method by itself, but draws from a few different methods, including mental imagery, acupuncture, body work (tui na) and others. It is mentioned here because if and when it is needed it can bring about profound, deep and life healing changes.
The approach used by Dr. Gil when someone wants and needs this level of healing is to help to clear the emotional blocks, scars and impediments to a person's well-being and healing.
We all understand that if we get a cut or scrape on our skin, the automatic and natural action of our body is to heal it. If it doesn't heal it means something is blocking or keeping the body from doing what it would normally do. The same principle is true in our emotional lives. If there is a blockage that prevents our healing or happiness, or if the scar is too deep, it must be cleared to allow our emotional healing to occur.
If you feel you need and would benefit from healing on this level, tell Dr. Gil. He will guide you on a program for you to clear the blocks and help you achieve your healing and regain your happiness.

Will my IIS 4.0 running on NT4 still function when I upgrade to Windows 2000?
Tony, here's a question I have not been able to find an answer on the Web. What happens to my IIS 4.0 server running Windows NT Server 4.0 when I upgrade the machine to Windows 2000? Will my IIS still function the same? I sure hope so!
It depends. There's an excellent chance that things won't work after the upgrade. If you use ASP scripting, you need to plan some time to test your code thoroughly afterwards. You'll almost certainly need to make changes. If you use NT4's user authentication (either local or domains), that may break after the upgrade.
The safe way to do the upgrade is to install Windows 2000 on a new box, copy your content over, configure IIS, test everything thoroughly, then swap the Windows 2000 system out for the NT 4 server.
If you don't have an extra box, or don?t want to spend the time configuring a new server, you'll need to do the in-place upgrade. If you do this, you're taking a big risk. Be sure to plan lots of downtime -- perhaps a whole weekend, if you have complex content. Of course, if all you have is static HTML and images, things will probably work fine after the upgrade.

The Sunday Times newspaper article, about the young artist Carl Randall winning the 1998 Sunday Times Watercolour Competition.
New Faces, Fresh Fields.
FRANK WHITFORD on the winners of the 1998 Singer & Friedlander/Sunday Times Watercolour Competition
The character of every art competition depends on the quality of the work submitted. And this year it was higher than I can remember in the 11-year history of this unique competition. All seven judges, including two first-timers - the art historian Dr Brian Allen, who acted as chairman, and the distinguished watercolourist David Curtis - were equally impressed by the variety of the styles and subjects of the 1,200 paintings they scrutinised during two marathon sessions in July.
Some things don't change. Given the importance placed by the competition rules on "the finest traditions of British watercolour painting", the perennially high number of submissions in acrylic used to look like oils is inexplicable and regrettable. Gratifyingly, however, 50 minutes elapsed before the first view of Venice was brought in by the tireless picture handlers. Indeed, no subject, whether rusty tractors, fishing boats or houses with peeling walls, dominated this year, and there was far more evidence than usual of painters' willingness to look further than conventional and hackneyed subjects and styles. Not only were more abstracts submitted, but also more paintings that tackled imagery drawn not directly from nature (or photographs) but from the imagination.
Although the subjects favoured by most of the prize winners fall, perhaps regrettably, into familiar categories of landscape and portrait, the prizewinners themselves do not fall into any obvious category at all. The names of most of them will be unfamiliar even to those who have closely followed the competition from the beginning. Only two of them have won before, and four have never previously entered. More surprising still was the extraordinarily and, frankly, unexpected quality of the work submitted by young artists. Five years ago, the judges were unable to award any student prize and lamented the apparent lack of interest among young in the medium in which British artists have traditionally excelled. Now they have cause for celebration. A student, Carl Randall, has been awarded the first prize of £15,000. This is without precedent and doubly deserving of congratulations.
Carl Randall
First prize: £15,000
Studies for an Alleyway
Reproductions are always a poor substitute for the real thing, and this is doubly true here, since the illustration conveys little or no idea of the most important aspect of Randall's painting. It consists of two images intended to be seen as one. They were built up in relief from layers of board, each cut and arranged a bit like the flats in a stage set, before painting began. So the picture printed below doesn't give a clear sense of the truly subtle ways in which space and distance have been depicted. The relief technique could so easily have looked like a gimmick, entirely unnecessary and introduced merely to impress, but it really works and is obviously the result of serious thought about tackling traditional problems in fresh ways. Randall, the first student to win first prize, is 23 and about to enter his fourth and final year at the Slade School of Fine Art, University College London. Before coming to the Slade he completed a foundation course in South Shields - he's a Geordie. "Nobody does watercolour there except me," he says, "although I by no means use it exclusively. In fact, most of my work is in oils, and on a much larger scale - up to 4ft high. This painting is nevertheless characteristic of all my work in every important regard, although I do have sketchbooks full of drawings of people. Buildings, architecture generally, provide me with most of my subjects, which I approach with a view to creating illusions of light and space. As you can see, I use board and sometimes metal elements so as to build up and away from the surface, before adding to the real depth the illusionistic perspective of painting. It's not so much that the tutors at the Slade specifically encourage the use of watercolour, more a case of them encouraging you to try whatever appeals to you. They'd probably be enthusiastic even if you started using jam on canvas. I've got to admit, though, that there's still a bit of a stigma attached to watercolours generally - old ladies, Sunday painters, and that kind of thing. But it doesn't worry me. I've always been interested in watercolour and have been following and admiring this competition for several years. The outright winner not so long ago was a panorama of nothing but houses. It was marvellous, and made me want to enter, although I didn't think I'd get anything accepted, let alone win a prize. I want to work full-time as an artist once I graduate, so the money will help a lot"
Carl Randall's work, together with that of the other artists selected - 157 paintings in all - can be seen at the Singer & Friedlander/Sunday Times exhibition, which starts its national tour at the Mall Galleries in London on Wednesday.

Text: 2 Corinthians 7:1-16
Theme: Glory in Christ, not the flesh
2. By separating from unbelievers (6:14 - 7:16)
Apparently the false teachers attacked Paul's character and message, and promoted glorying in the flesh (cf. chapters 10-12). For the Corinthians to glory in Christ, they had to separate from these evil influences, and embrace the truth of Paul's message again.
7:1 expands the call for separation (cf. 6:16-18) to include cleansing "ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God." A person does not get saved, or stay saved by avoiding sin (justification, sanctification, and glorification are assured to all believers by the power of the indwelling Spirit, through faith in Christ, apart from human merit [cf. Romans 3-4; 6-8]), but separation affects our fellowship with God (1 Cor. 6:16-18; cf. 1 John 1:5-10). Christians should and will (because of God's gracious work in them [cf. Ephesians 2:8-10; Philippians 2:13]) separate from sin if they are a child of God (1 Cor. 6:16-18; cf. James 2:14-17; 1 John 1:5 - 2:29), and this glorifies Christ rather than the flesh.
7:2-16 encourages the Corinthians to embrace the truth again. Though he had been "afflicted" ("our flesh had no rest", "conflicts without, fears within" [5], depression [6]), God comforted Paul, with Titus' report of the Corinthian's repentance. God, using Paul's "severe letter", had worked in them a godly sorrow which led them to change their minds and conduct. As a result, they became indignant against sin, avenged wrongdoing in the church (11), and confirmed their loyalty to sound doctrine (12). This caused Paul to rejoice with the Corinthians. Embracing Bible truth in the heart results in a repentance and godliness which glorifies Christ rather than the flesh.

I haven't updated this blog in forever – we've been too busy racing!
Since blowing up the first engine in the Capri we've re-themed it, won class C and class B, and are still on the second engine. Looking forward to making an assault on class A next. I don't think anyone has won A, B, and C in the same car – should be quite a challenge.
We've also picked up judge's choice, and helped Anton win his second driver of the year. Not a bad campaign at all.

I don't mean to brag, but this is the best banana bread I've ever tried. You can ask my friends, I think they will defend me. 🙂 Thanks grandma Cloe for the awesome recipe 🙂 🙂
I am sad to share that my recipe posting may be put on hold for a few weeks. Last week I started my summer job where I am working as a Sports Medicine Instructor and Resident Assistant at a summer program for middle schoolers. It has been a blast so far and I've meet so many awesome people my age who are all interested in different things in life! I am learning a ton already and my kids haven't even arrived yet! They get here Sunday, which will probably prevent me from having much time to bake (especially since my current residence is in a dorm room). BUT I am going to try very hard to find some baking time and show you some new awesome recipes.
This banana bread is awesome. (There's really no other way to put it!) It is the very best out of the oven, but lasts for days as a great snack. Whenever my bananas get a little brown and I don't want to waste them I always get out the recipe card for this banana bread. The sweetness of the ripe bananas really add to the intense flavor and springy texture. One of my best friends, Katie created an awesome spin on this recipe and added Mini Reeces Peanut Butter Cups! It was soooo delicious, so feel free to add these into make a dessert bread! 🙂 After all, More Chocolate Please!!!
Preheat oven to 350.
This recipes yields one loaf.
Best Banana Bread Ingredients:
2 large ripe bananas
1 cup?granulated?sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup canola oil
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon lemon juice
2 cups flour (I love whole-wheat pastry flour)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
a few pinches of cinnamon and brown sugar
To invert the bread and get it on the pan without breaking follow these directions! Scrape the edge of the pan with a butter knife to loosen bread from the sides. Then turn the cooling rack upside down on the bread pan. Then secure both sides of the cooling rack ON the bread pan with a pot holder and flip upside down (quickly!) and the bread should pop out! If it does not pop out, hit bottom of the pan a few times with a spoon or knife and wiggle it around until it comes out clean!!
Best Banana Bread Directions:
- Place bananas in a big bowl and break into small?pieces with a fork or beaters?(do not mush the banana or it will all sink to the bottom of the loaf).
- Add sugar, eggs, canola oil, milk, vanilla, and lemon juice to the?banana?bowl and mix well.
- In a?separate?bowl add: flour, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon and mix well.
- Then add the dry flour mix to the wet banana mix and stir or beat until everything is incorporated well.
- Pour banana bread mixture into a greased bread pan using a?spatula?to get all the batter off the bowl.
- Sprinkle the loaf with cinnamon and brown sugar to cover the top.
- Bake for 50-55 minutes. Test with a clean toothpick by sticking it in the middle and outside of bread and see that it comes out clean. If there is still batter on the toothpick, put back in the oven for 5 minutes.
- Let the loaf rest for 5 minutes in the pan and scrape the edge with a knife to loosen. Then invert on a cooling rack. *See pictures and instructions.
- Serve warm with butter or brummel and brown (yogurt butter!).

Antioxidant eye nutrients may help in maintaining healthy eyesight, and healthy blood supply to the eye muscles and nerves.
The nutrients contained in this combination formula includes vitamins, minerals, carotenoids such as lutein and zeaxanthin, extracts of bilberry, and tomato (a source of lycopene).
Carotenoids are naturally occurring pigments found in certain plants with potent antioxidant properties. Lutein and zeaxanthin are two carotenoids found in high levels in the macula region of the eye where they may help to protect it against light-induced free radical damage.
Lycopene is a red pigment present at high levels in tomatoes, and acts as a free radical quencher in ocular tissue.
Bilberry is high in antioxidant substances called flavonoids that may help maintain eye health.
Vitamin B2 helps to maintain normal eye structure.
Free radicals have been implicated in the development and progression of a number of eye conditions including age-related macular degeneration, glaucoma and cataracts. Antioxidants help to mop up these free radicals. Vitamins A, C and E have innate antioxidant activity. The minerals zinc and selenium are important cofactors for antioxidant enzymes.
Retinal zinc levels have been shown to decline with age.
Vitamin A plays an important role in the adaptation of the eye to light and night vision.
Vitamin C is found in high concentrations in the lens of the eye.
Vitamin E has antioxidant properties and helps maintain the health of the blood vessels and cell membranes.
