Here's a couple more details from Azadeh & Jonathan's special day. They had an awesome and delicious s'more station provided by the fantastic Sugar Tart, so we made signage to let the guests know where the roasting would take place.
Just like we did with the Spanish Soiree photoshoot (which you can see HERE), lettering was added to the beverage containers to denote the different drinks.
Keep your eyes peeled for our Serra Plaza project! Definitely fun and innovative.

text: The Game has released a new single "On Me" which features fellow Compton rapper Kendrick Lamar. The single is off of the Game's 38-song double album The Documentary 2. The single samples Erykah Badu's On & On which you can't miss. The two rappers deliver hard lyrics on a beat that will make you put the song on replay and there's a breakdown in the middle that makes the second part of the song extra tough. Game's upcoming album is rumored to have a multitude of features including Kanye West, Drake, Kendrick Lamar, Future, Dr. Dre, Ice Cube, Puff Daddy, Q-Tip, Ab-Soul, and so much more. After hearing this and 100, which features Drake, this album might be going on our Must Listen list. Documentary 2 is set to release Oct. 9. Listen to "On Me" here.

Saberation offers online training for personal trainers who would like to bring this fitness program to their local gym or complete franchises. May the force be with you.
For more information, you can go directly to: https://saberation.com
John and Dr. Sellman delve into the roots and risks of high blood pressure and how you can bring it down yourself with diet, lifestyle, supplement, and fitness changes. There is also a new formula on the market that is helping people reduce their high blood pressure by as much as 90 points. Now you have a way to help reduce your blood pressure in order to reduce or even eliminate medications.
Ross Pelton, R.Ph., CCN author of The Pill Problem delves into the history of hormone based birth control, spermicides, and much more as we explore the long list of debilitating side effects which even include death. Of course we do offer information on a new, exciting, safe, and effective contraceptive that has been on the market now for over 3 and a half years with no reported pregnancies.

Today John talks with Ira Antelis, founder of 120 LifeTM. 120 LifeTM is the first functional drink created from a mixture of six natural ingredients, each shown in clinical studies to promote normal blood pressure. With 120 Life you can normalize your blood pressure naturally. 120 LifeTM can help lower your blood pressure so you can reduce, or even eliminate, high blood pressure medications.
This year alone there have been two FDA and Health Canada recalls of high blood pressure medication. Why take the chance of sometimes dangerous side effects from medications when you now have a natural product that can not only reduce your blood pressure but offer other beneficial side effects.
Ira Antelis tells us how he came to develop the formula in response to his own need to reduce his high blood pressure. The ingredients have all been clinically studied and proven to help lower blood pressure.
Lastly, as Ira points out in the interview, 120 LifeTM may not work for everyone. If you find your body does not benefit from 120 LifeTM you can get a 100% refund.

TotalHealth magazine gave out two awards this year at Expo West. The first was to American Biotech Labs LLC for their Silver Biotics product line. Silver Biotics nano silver technology can be found in their skin screams, skin gel, toothpaste, and liquids. Science is their strong suit with over 400 independent third party studies. The staff and testers at TotalHealth have been using the sliver products for over 2 years for an almost impossible list of applications.
Here is what we know for sure. Nothing heals and takes care of skin like Silver Biotics Armor Gel, Silver Biotics Silver Gel and Silver Biotics Hand and Body Lotion and Skin Cream. These products have saved various members of our team from accidents, cuts, burns, sun burns, cold sores, dry and cracking skin, diabetic ulcers, and so much more. ARMOR GEL™ has been evaluated in standard tests that show it can reduce the levels of common microorganisms including Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli MRSA and VRE, as well as fungi such as Candida albicans and Aspergillus niger... What else do you need to know?
The Silver Biotics liquid, that we didn't even get to in this interview, is a fantastic immune support product especially during flu season. One of our editors gets the occasional eye infection which, if not caught fast enough, often leads to a doctor's visit. Now he just washes his eyes with the Silver Liquid at the early sign of infection and the next morning...no infection, same process with cold sores. There are no side effects when used as directed.
It is the one product line that needs to be in every home. Just from a possibility of any kind of infection. Silver Biotics has been used by millions, studied massively, and is the most deserving of our TotalHealth Award of Excellence.
Check out our TotalHealth TV interview: Protect, Heal, and Restore Vaginal Health with Dr. Sherrill Sellman
Silver Biotics are available on Amazon in the US, Canada, and Mexico. The products can also be found in most Rite Aids in the US if you prefer to touch before you purchase.

Public Works Department - Water and Sewer
For more information about your utility services and billing please visit the Utility Billing Division in the Finance Department.
NOTICE FOR NORTH MIAMI UTILITY CUSTOMERS -The City of North Miami's Water and Sewer Utility implemented a new consumption based rate structure in 2012 (Resolution No. R-2012-52.) Effective October 1, 2013, this rate structure proposes an increase of 3.0% for water and 11.5% for sewer charges in Fiscal Year 2013-2014. This rate structure was implemented in 2012, replacing a previous rate structure that was based on an annual inflationary increase. The North Miami Water and Sewer Utility's Consumptive Use Permit (13-00059-W) issued in August 2010, required the adoption of a consumption-based rate structure as one of the conditions of issuance. The rate increases and assessments described herein were considered by the City Council at the public hearing held on April 10, 2012. Notice of this hearing was published on all customer utility bills.
Click here for Spanish and Creole.This notification is to comply with Florida Statutes 180.136.
The City of North Miami, Public works Department wants to inform the residents of North Miami that they can also participate in receiving the rebates that are being offered from the Miami Dade County water conservation program. Clink here for more information.
About the Water and Sewer Utility Rates
Utility Rate StructureThe adoption of the consumption-based rate structure for North Miami's water and sewer utility in April 2012 replaced the previous Consumer Price Index (CPI)-based rate structure.
Under the tiered rate structure, residential utility customers are charged for usage in incremental units every three months. The less water you use, the lower your quarterly bill will be.
Why is this necessary?Water and Wastewater utilities across the nation are facing serious challenges posed by a number of factors: an aging infrastructure and the increasing cost to maintain it; an increased population to provide potable water to; and strict requirements imposed by regulatory agencies to conserve water. In order for the City of North Miami Water Utility to comply with the Consumptive Use Permit issued by South Florida Water Management District and the EPA's sewer system infrastructure handbook requirements, a utility rate study was done to evaluate the utility's overall cost to operate and
appropriate charges for utility customers were recommended.
The Consumptive Use Permit (13-00059-W) issued in August 2010, requires the North Miami Water Utility to implement a tired water conservation rate structure as one of the conditions of issuance. If the City of North Miami did not adopt such a rate structure, the water utility could ultimately be shut down.
Background on the Rate StudyIn 2011, the City of North Miami hired a consultant, Black & Veatch, to conduct an extensive rate study for the City's water and sewer utility to meet operational demands through September 2016. The study was used to develop rates that recover operating and capital improvement requirements, promote the efficient use of water resources, and address issues of equitability and affordability for customers served by the City. Water utility customers that do not live within North Miami City limits will continue to pay a 25 percent surcharge. Prior to this study, the last comprehensive rate study conducted by the city of North Miami was done over 20 years ago.
The last major modification to the rate structure was done in 2008 with the addition to Capital Improvement fees for Water and Sewer. The projects that were covered under these fees are now built into the
current rate structure.
The rate structure recommended by the Black & Veatch study was adopted by resolution at the Council meeting on April 10, 2012. Florida Statute 367.081 requires that the City's ordinance referring to the utility rates (Chapter 19 - Utilities) be amended, which requires two public hearings, held on April 10th and April 24, 2012. Click here to download the Black & Veatch Study.
About the Utility BillAll City services -- water, sewer, storm water, garbage and recycling are charged on one utility bill. For customers billed quarterly, water meters are read approximately every ninety (90)days. Your utility bill reflects services for the previous time period and is due upon receipt. You will receive your bill approximately the same time each billing cycle.
If you do not receive your utility bill, or you have any questions please call Utility Billing Customer Service at 305.895.9880.
It is recommended that customers give the City notice at least two business days in advance for any service needs. If you are moving, it is important to maintain access to your meters for any accurate final reading. It is also important that you provide a forwarding address for the final bill.
High Consumption
If you receive an unusually high water bill, there are a few things you should do before calling the City.
Check your water meter for movement on the dial. If all the faucets are shut off and it is spinning, chances are there is a leak. Look for running toilets, leaky faucets and fixtures, or leaking sprinkler systems. After verifying any possible leaks, contact the Utility Operation Center at
305.895.9838. If you have city related water issue after hours (flood, burst pipes, backflow problems, etc) call the Winson Water Plant at 305.953.2854 or 305.953.2857 (TDD).
Water Quality Safety
Good water quality is important in North Miami. To protect it, the City requires backflow prevention devices. They keep unsafe water from mixing with the potable water supply. Backflow prevention devices must be installed on all commercial and multifamily residential structures, as well as residential irrigation systems, fire sprinkler systems, and other systems where drinking water could become contaminated.
Water Line Leaks
Water is a valuable natural resource that should not be wasted. Everyone can do their part to make sure that water is not lost by leaks in the pipes. The Public Works Department has a program that inspects the water lines within the public rights-of-way throughout the year.
If you notice a puddle of water in the public right-of-way, that seems to never go away; or experience low water pressure, please notify the Water and Sewer Division at 305.895.9838 to request an inspection. If you notice a puddle of water on your private property, please contact your plumber.
Water and Sewer Repairs
If you are having a toilet backup or if your residential or commercial backflow device is leaking, you should call the Public Works Department Water & Sewer Division at 305.895.9838. Office hours are Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. For emergencies after hours and or on weekends, you will need to call 305.953.2854.
The City will repair all leaks occurring between the meter and the street. Any leaks or repairs required beyond the meter, including the service line to the house, are the responsibility of the property owner.
Sewer Stoppages
The Public Works Sewer Maintenance Division maintains sanitary sewerlines for both residential and commercial properties. Residents are urged to refrain from disposing cooking grease and large objects into the sewer system. Should you have a blockage, experience sluggish drains in your house or business or notice an overflow in front of your property call the Public Works Department Water & Sewer Division at 305.895.9838.
If your sewer backs up after 4:00 p.m.Monday through Friday, or on weekends, call 305.953.2854. (Winsor Water Treatment Plant)

There's a question I'd like to throw into the air, following today's indictment of Ameer Mahoul for "espionage" and of Omar Said for, it would seem, refusing to engage in espionage (he's being indicted on charges of "contact with a foreign agent", for conversations in which he told the "Hezbollah recruiter" to eff off). It strikes me there's a familiar feature running through the indictments of Rawi Soltani (a Balad activist who got 5.5 years for bragging to a "Hezbollah recruiter" he worked out in the same gym as the Chief of Staff), Omar Said and Ameer Mahoul. All three are Palestinian Israeli activists, which means most tourists visiting Israel would have better access to state secrets than they do. Nevertheless, apparently because of their well-known ideological leanings, they are all approached by a "Hezbollah agent" who installs or tries to install an "encoding program" on their laptops. The laptops are then seized several months later.
Is it me, or could a set-up have been started a lot earlier than the "investigation" by the GSS?
I'm asking an honest question here. In favor of a "yes" stands the fact that planting evidence on political activists – physical, forensic, digital or otherwise- is a secret police trick hundreds of years old, if not older; and the fact the Shin Bet already said it intends to subvert political activity and activists in favor of a less exclusivist "Jewish" Israel. Against it stands the possibility that Hezbollah did indeed recruit the three. At the moment, I can't even write it with a straight face, but there has been precedent of activists being recruited for espionage – although extremely, extremely rarely, being the rather lousy assets that they are.
Are there any intelligence experts reading this blog who can chip in on whether Shin Bet setting these men up is as likely as them being recruited by Hezbollah, despite their obviously poor qualifications? Open question.
Oh, and, it seems Ameer Makhoul was tortured during the weeks he was denied access to his lawyers. Remember that when you read press-releases about him admitting to anything.
Please join the debate below; I'll update the post with key points as we go along.

SUNY, CUNY Faculty Call for Increased State Investment, Renewal of NYSUNY 2020
February 29, 2016
Elected Faculty and Student Leaders "Stand With SUNY"
Albany – State University of New York (SUNY) and City University of New York (CUNY) faculty recently delivered a joint letter to members of the State Senate and Assembly outlining their support for increased state investment in the university systems and a renewal of NYSUNY 2020.
"New York State could be the national leader in public higher education if it upholds its commitment to its citizens by increasing the funding of SUNY's 64 campuses and CUNY's 24 campuses," the letter states. "A failure to do so will place New York's system of public higher education in jeopardy and erode the State's promise to the citizens of the state."
The letter, signed by the SUNY and CUNY University Faculty Senates and the SUNY Faculty Council of Community Colleges, urges the Governor and Legislature to strengthen the state's investment in public higher education by:
- passing and implementing a renewal of the NYSUNY 2020 legislation;
- increasing base funding to SUNY and CUNY community colleges; and
- providing a true Maintenance of Effort to provide funding for mandatory cost increases.
Read the faculty letter online.
A renewal of NYSUNY 2020 also has the support of the SUNY Student Assembly, the official student governance organization representing SUNY students. SUNY SA leadership is elected by their peers across the state, and the organization's president, Binghamton Student Thomas D. Mastro, serves as a SUNY Trustee.
"The representatives of our 64 campuses came together last year to overwhelmingly pass a resolution supporting the renewal of NYSUNY 2020. In a vote of 59-4-1, we said loud and clear that we want fairness, equity, and predictability when it comes to money we spend on our education," said Mastro.
SUNY Chancellor Nancy L. Zimpher launched the Stand with SUNY campaign to secure increased state investment for the system in the upcoming 2016-17 New York State Budget. In addition to growing the Investment and Performance Fund, the goals of the campaign are to build base funding for all campuses and extend NYSUNY 2020.
About the State University of New York

LAUNCESTON, Australia (Reuters) - The decision by the government of Australia's Northern Territory government to allow the resumption of fracking for natural gas will do little to immediately solve the country's energy woes, but will likely sharpen political battle lines.
The territory's government said on April 17 that it has lifted a near two-year moratorium on hydraulic fracturing, known as fracking, accepting the recommendations of its own commission of inquiry into the practice.
Northern Territory is a vast, sparsely-populated 1.4 million square kilometer (540,000 square mile) part of central and northern Australia, and home to two potentially rich basins of natural gas.
The remote region is ruled by the center-left Labor Party, which is in opposition at a federal level. The Labor Party also controls state governments in Queensland, Victoria and Western Australia.
The decision to permit fracking, subject to rigorous regulation, came as a surprise to many observers, given the opposition of many Labor supporters to this method of natural gas production.
The territory government was elected on a platform of placing a moratorium on fracking and holding an inquiry into whether it was safe and what were the environmental risks.
In some ways the territory's commission merely confirmed what other similar inquiries in Australia have already found, namely that the risks of fracking can be managed with robust regulation.
The government of New Territory Chief Minister Michael Gunner must have known, however, that allowing the resumption of fracking would alienate part of its support base, and make it a target for well-funded, well-organized green activists.
The natural gas industry has welcomed the lifting of the moratorium and Australian energy major Origin Energy said it aimed to resume plans "as soon as practical" to drill and frack the Beetaloo Basin, which the company says contains as much as 6.6 trillion cubic feet in reserves.
Such a level of natural gas reserves would provide a welcome boost to Australia, which is struggling to balance the needs of three large liquefied natural gas (LNG) plants in Queensland with the demands for cheap and reliable supplies from industry and consumers along the populous east coast.
It's this dynamic that is creating political headaches for both state governments and the center-right Liberal Party of Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull.
The natural gas industry maintains there is no actual shortage of the fuel, but says that to ensure that this situation continues, the states and territories will have to permit exploration and production.
Currently, four states - New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania and Western Australia - have either bans or moratoriums on at least some forms of natural gas exploration and production.
It remains to be seen whether NT's decision to lift its fracking moratorium will encourage other jurisdictions to do the same, but any politician considering this will be aware of the furious reaction it would generate from environmental activists.
The other issue for Australia is that domestic natural gas prices have risen sharply, and are now trading more in line with Asian spot LNG prices.
The price of natural gas at the Wallumbilla hub in Queensland, as assessed by Argus Media, was $5.77 per million British thermal units last week, while spot Asian LNG was $7.25.
Once the cost of the LNG is netted back to the hub, the two prices are more or less in line, meaning Australia's domestic customers are paying for their natural gas at values linked to international prices.
This is a shift from what happened prior to the three LNG plants being built in Queensland, when domestic natural gas was cheaper and generally sold in long-term contracts.
Adding natural gas from the territory to Australia's supply mix may help lower prices for both feedstock for the LNG plants and domestic customers, but the point is that this extra production is still several years away.
In the meantime, pressure is going to mount on domestic natural gas suppliers and consumers, leading to political fallout and seemingly odd solutions, such as bringing a floating re-gasification ship to Melbourne and importing LNG.
It seems ludicrous that Australia, which will overtake Qatar as the world's top exporter of LNG once the last of eight new projects comes online later this year, will turn to importing the super-chilled fuel in order to meet domestic demand.
It seems logical to develop onshore natural gas resources rather than import LNG, but this ignores the increasing influence of environmental activists, who are committed to ending all fossil fuel production in favor of renewable energy.
While some green groups ignore the scientific evidence that supports fracking, others simply shift to say that natural gas production contributes to climate change and should be banned for this reason.
Any company engaged in fracking in Australia can expect to be targeted by activists, which may deter some oil and gas companies, given they have become increasingly publicity shy.
The end result of the Northern Territory's decision to allow fracking may be some additional natural gas supply. But it will certainly up the political temperature and raise the risks of populist policies triumphing over cheap energy supplies that are cleaner than Australia's existing coal-dominated power plants.

Yarn bombing!April 7th, 2011
Pretty sweet video. I have lots of hats that I do nothing with, but I'd need way more to pull of something like this myself.
Pretty sweet video. I have lots of hats that I do nothing with, but I'd need way more to pull of something like this myself.
This meme was making the rounds in January:
Pay it forward 2011: I promise to send something handmade to the first 5 people who leave a comment here. They in turn must post this and send something they make to the first 5 people who comment on their status. The rules are that it must be handmade by you and it must be sent to your 5 people sometime in 2011.
Being a yarn crafter, I figured this was definitely a meme I could support, so I accepted the challenge on my friend Rebecca's status, then posted it to my own wall. Sadly only two people were willing to take the leap with me, but that meant I was able to spend a little more on the yarn for their gifts. I chose the Drop Stitch Scarf by Christine Vogel (on Ravelry) for the first gift, and since I loved the pattern so much, I made it for the second one as well!
Both are made from hand-painted wool purchased at Unwind Yarns in Burbank, CA. They're almost finished–I just have to weave the ends, and block them (although I hate blocking as much as I hate weaving, so I may skip that part). I love how they turned out, and I hope the recipients are equally pleased.
I need better pictures–bigger, spread out, and taken with the Canon and not my Blackberry–but here it is!
After the frogging incident on Friday, I was a little discouraged, but I was driven to finish this project, in a way I'm rarely driven to finish anything that doesn't have an immovable deadline, so Saturday I picked it up again and finished the continuous join while watching Angel season one dvds.
But even more importantly, on Sunday, since the monsoon outside was making me rethink stepping a single foot outside my door, I picked it up again and weaved in all the ends! Seriously, this is monumental for me, as I hate end-weaving more than almost anything else. I just really really wanted a finished afghan to put on my bed, that wouldn't tempt my Zeva to pull at the loose bits.
Anyway, it's finished, and I love it, and it's beautiful, and I can't wait to get started on the next one.
(Oh, and the specifics–16ish balls of Plymouth Encore (the multicolor ones in the middle might've just been leftovers from the other 12?) for the squares, and two balls of black Plymouth Encore for the joins. And almost a year from start to finish.)
I've been assembling a granny square blanket using the continuous join as you go technique (which is awesome, btw). I had eight squares joined, and spent a couple of hours joining another four, only to realize that when I'd stacked the squares in the order I wanted them in, I'd screwed it up. I didn't realize this until I spread out the newly joined 12 squares, only to find colors in the wrong place.
So yes, I frogged everything I did today. To be honest, I should frog the whole thing and start over, but that's a little too heartbreaking for me, so I just sorted the remaining eight squares in the best possible configuration to the first eight.
So annoyed with myself. And not ready to start again today–maybe tomorrow. *sigh*
I finally finished it!
I've been working on this blanket for my niece Hailey since September 2008. Although really, it's been sitting in my WIP pile for probably two years of that, just waiting for the final border and the ends weaved in. (I really hate weaving ends.)
The final motivating push happened last month because I was going to actually *meet* Hailey in person for the first time. See, my brother's family lives several states away, and, since I suck, I haven't visited in at least ten years. (It's a long and boring story.) But last week they came to L.A. for a family vacation, so I pulled out the blanket, steeled my resolve, and weaved those damned ends for my wee niece. And it was such a pleasure to finally present it to her while she was still (mostly) small enough to enjoy it!
The pattern is Beth's Little Star Afghan, and the yarn is Bernat's Satin Solids.
(Cross-posted with polgara.net)
May 1st?? May freakin' first?!!! Wow, someone needs to kick my ass. Let's see if I can summarize the past holy-wow-six months.
Bad news first: My cat Trouble died. It was a terrible terrible thing, and I still blame myself for being too busy to take her to the vet sooner. She spent almost a week in the vet hospital before she passed, and I visited her every day. I wasn't with her when she died, arriving about 30 minutes too late.
Was the "official" photographer for a meet and greet fan event with Nick Brendon.
Got a new friend for Jack–this is Dr. Zeva Tinycat, although she's no longer quite this tiny, as she eats like the shelter cat she was. She's two and a half, loves string and meowing a lot, doesn't like people food, and bounces on the stomachs of my houseguests when they sleep on the couch.
Started seeing a therapist. She's cool, albeit expensive. The expense adds a little to my stress, but I feel it's the one thing I can't really talk about with her.
Drove out to Zion National Park in Utah by myself and spent a couple of days hiking. It was an incredible experience. The park was beautiful, and being on my own and beholden to none was very freeing. Next time, though, I'd rather share the beauty with someone–and the little travelled trail I'd discovered.
For my birthday I got my first ever kidney stone. Yeah, it sucked donkey balls. It hit two days before, at work. I was taken to the hospital in an ambulance, where my boss hung out with me until I was released (and it was *his* birthday). Spent the rest of the week on my couch in much pain. Bonus, I still have two more stones hanging out in my kidneys that could drop at any time. Yay.
Spent nine days at Disney World with nine friends and relatives to celebrate my sister's 40th birthday. We had a BLAST! Seriously, one of my best vacations ever.
Work project kicked into high gear and the stress became the center of my life. Not the greatest month ever. However, I did make it to Carnaval in West Hollywood for the first time in about seven years, so that was cool. It's still just as fun and crazy as I remember. And I spent four hours on a Saturday helping to assemble holiday boxes to send to troops in I believe Afghanistan. That was cool.
So now it's November. The work project is still in progress and still stressful, but should be launching in a week and a half. Unfortunately it coincides with a Fitness Challenge being held at the work-site gym, where eight teams of eight are competing to lose the most (percentage-wise) in seven weeks. I'm blogging my progress with that little event over here, but I must say, not being able to eat chocolate when I'm stressed is doing bad things to my general disposition.
I've been crocheting this whole time. All summer I'd work on granny squares–boring, basic squares, each made from a full ball of Plymouth Encore. I now have 20 squares that need to be joined into a blanket. Don't know when that'll be happening. I also made one ginormous granny square blanket for my sister's birthday.
So that's the past six months in a nutshell. Hopefully it won't be another six months before my next update.
Sitting in the first session of the WordCamp SF one-day conference, waiting for Writing Plugins for NooBs to start. Whee!
I was at a conference a couple of weeks ago, where I got to hang out with a friend that I don't see very often (like, every two years or so), but when we do, it's like time hasn't passed. He's ridiculously easy to talk to, which we did for hours, and he's very good at pointing out things that hadn't occurred to me, and motivating me when I've given up on stuff (for example, he's the one that convinced me to see another doctor two years ago about my knee–the doctor who then discovered the torn meniscus and need for surgery). This time was no exception.
I've been in a rut for a long time. I've known it, I blogged about it, but haven't really done anything to get out of it–and no, picking up the hook and needles again doesn't really count. The key, of course, is getting the hell out of the house. I spend waaaay too much time alone–sure, I have no problem with my own company, but eventually it does become too much. He gave me some suggestions to move me in the right direction, which may or may not stick for the long term, but for now at least it seems to be working.
So I'm going to San Fran soon for a weekend, to attend some WordPress seminars and to see another dear friend that I don't see nearly enough. It was totally a whim decision, which I need to do more of.
And I've planned some camping trips–or rather, I'm tagging along with my almost-always camping friend on a couple of her outtings. Joshua Tree should be a good place to explore with my bicycle, and Big Bear will be great for the hiking and the smell of trees, which I really miss.
I have more friends visiting in May and June, and my work on other people's websites will be ending very soon, so maybe, hopefully, if I stay motivated, I'll finally take my bike out to the beach once or twice in the coming months.
And totally unexpectedly, but I'm excited so I'm putting it here anyway, one of my little brothers is in town, so I'll be seeing him this week for the first time in four years. Yay!
Which is all well and good, but the second part is, I really need to meet new people, and that's the hard part. I suck at meeting new people. Really, truly, please don't make me do it, suck at it. I am weird and awkward and stay stupid stuff all the freakin' time, and my friends love me anyway, but I hate to inflict that on strangers. I haven't really figured this part out yet, but it's on the List.
I also really need to move out of my apartment, but that one may be the hardest task of all–I hate change, I hate moving, I hate new situations that run the risk of sucking more than the old situation. And there are a couple of other steps on the to do list, that I may or may not do, but those are the key points.
So that's the state of me. Time will tell if I can rock as Captain of my own Destiny, or if I wind up sitting on a reef somewhere. Again.
And since I hate imageless posts, here's a tattoo design I'm considering (no final decisions yet, either on design or even if I'll definitely get one). It symbolizes rebirth encircled by hope.
For future reference, this is where I found the answer:
(<* php print $node->field_section[0]['value'] *>)
It's Drupal day again, and import data problem continues to piss me off (migrate refuses to pass properly export my tables to View, and eventually just stopped importing my table rows at all; and node-import keeps failing at step 7, line 668). So instead of beating that dead horse some more, I moved on to problems I could actually solve, and solve them I did!
First, the breadcrumbs. I needed to a) include breadcrumbs, and b) style them to match the design. I used the Menu Breadcrumb module to solve the first problem, so that the breadcrumb would draw from Primary Links instead of Navigation. For the second, I first turned to Pro Drupal Development by John K. VanDyk–page 181 had the advice I needed, i.e. to add the following function to my theme's template.php to change the breadcrumb separator from '>' to ': :' :
function phptemplate_breadcrumb($breadcrumb) {
if (!empty($breadcrumb)) {
return ' ';
But that wasn't enough. I needed to remove "Home" as the first item of the breadcrumb, so I changed the above code to this:
function phptemplate_breadcrumb($breadcrumb) {
if (!empty($breadcrumb)) {
return ' ';
And that fixed that problem! The rest was just updating the css in the breadcrumb call in my page.tpl.php file:
For some reason, my css wasn't working on the ": :", so I fonted them, but otherwise this worked perfectly! Breadcrumb success!
Except, then the client wanted the breadcrumb changed for one content type. No problem!
(shoot, can't put the code here without serious edits, due to its extreme php-ness. Damn! But there's good info on hiding blocks for specific node types here.)
Seriously, I was on fire today!
Next problem, the drop down menus were appearing under the flash slideshows on six pages. I thought it had something to do with Nice Menus, but after much googling, I found the fix to this was actually in the Flash embed code, so I added this code to the swfobject code for each:
so.addParam("wmode", "transparent");
And those are the things I fixed today. Woot!

It really is the summer of magnificent prints and therefore it would be a damned shame not to emblazon yourself in them. We bring you 'Something For The Weekend: Prints Charming Edition'.
You can spend a little (the high street and online retailer gang have an amazing offering) or you can spend a lot if you're after something a bit more unusual, but with the sales still going strong at least opting for higher end isn't *quite* so painful.
You can tell the shops are already leaning towards next season as the colour palettes are that bit more muted when it comes to new arrivals, but it's only the beginning of July for god's sake….don't spoil scarves by getting excited about them now when August is still a distant dream on the horizon.
Shops are silly. Stick to the summer goodness (espesh as a lot of it's reduced) and don't get lured in by knitwear. Yet.
1. Jacket by Carven – £172.50 (reduced from £345)
It's nice to see a tropical print that isn't fluro bright and this jungle design is as lusciously sophisticated as it is leafy. The purple and green tones will carry you through to next season easily. AND IT'S HALF PRICE. So get it.
Buy it here.
2. Jumpsuit by Dorothy Perkins – £35
Perfect for festivals and sunshine boozing (except for the fiddly weeing situation) and the neon touch just helps bring a bit of colour so you don't have to think too much about fancy accessories.
Buy it here.
3. Gown by Mara Hoffman – £205 (reduced from £410)
It's rare to find a gown that's elegant AND fun. If anyone was going to manage it, it would be Mara. Her prints are my favourite thing ever (well, within the realm of print design…I still prefer chips and holidays overall) and this chiffon dress has a beautiful keyhole back to ensure optimum lust worthiness.
Buy it here.
4. Dress by & other stories – £33 (reduced from £65)
You can play with prints without going cray about it. This simple dress is made by the gorgeous Grecian-esque trim. The drawstring waist is super flattering, too.
Buy it here.
5. Dress by Wallis – £24 (reduced from £30)
Ok so you probably don't regularly shop at Wallis, but you can find some great gems in there sometimes. I love this high neck midi design.
Buy it here.
Click here to continue reading my original post on Late Night London to see what else I'm lusting after….including Mara Hoffman fabulousness!

Stag Do In this destination
We know that curling is quite possibly the most random of all the Olympic sports (and there are some pretty weird ones out there, like racewalking or synchronised swimming!) but we see it as one of those things you just have to do to get a better feel for Northern Europe's random winter sporting activities – Latvia included!
And look, although it seems pretty weird to frantically rub the floor with a glorified broom in an attempt to make a flattened round stone with a handle move, it's also awesome fun. We know because we've tried it. The activity is two hours long and we provide a driver and refreshments.
For this Stag Activity, the Price Includes:
- A local guide to escort you from your accommodation
- Roundtrip Transfers
- 2 hours line rental
- Up to 10 persons per line
- Round of beers after the activity
- Minimum 8 persons requirement

Insomnia and I have been unhappy bedfellows since I was a small child. Thanks to the joy that is having a seizure disorder and the medication that prevents me from being like a glitchy computer—frequent crashing and restarts, eh?—I can't take a lot of sleep aids. You know your insomnia is bad when you're so tired you can't read without the words jumbling and yet you can't fall asleep either. Of course hearing about others' struggles with getting off sleep meds is enough to make me content to not sleep some nights but darn if I'm not pooped this weekend. I also have to reread a chapter of Queen of Swords because I have no idea what I read the other night. lol
It's been a good week really though. I won an awesome prize from a boutique makeup brand that I've been privately happy dancing about until it gets here and I can show it off on RhiAlistic. Then I got really lucky and after years of hoping for one, I got a TV through Amazon Vine. I love getting and reviewing books but once in a while I love to get electronics and stuff because books aren't the only thing I review. How can those two things not make this sleep-deprived week a little bit awesome? I mean, who doesn't love getting free stuff? And speaking of free stuff... did you know I've been posting Kindle freebie links on RhiReading's Facebook page? 'Like' it and ye shall receive. ;)
This weekend I've got a spa date with the mom-in-law where we can dish books as we get pedis and I can finally find out what she thinks of the new season of True Blood so far. She's a series purist and hated last season so she said she wouldn't watch it anymore if they weren't going to follow the books... but I know she's watching it anyway. :P What do you guys think? I've been avoiding doing TV Mondays posts due to time crunches and the fact they never get commented on.
I'll probably try and finish Team Human by Justine Larbalestier and Sarah Rees Brennan this weekend because it's a bit... hmmm, can't find the right word. Lame? I guess that'd work. Considering how much I enjoyed Larbalestier's contributions to Zombies vs. Unicorns I guess I was expecting more. All the book seems to have going for it thus far is the fact that the protagonist, Mel, isn't white. I'm always really thrilled to see more racial diversity in my paranormal fiction. We'll see if it can't redeem itself soon.
On that note I am off to caffienate myself some more. My zombie-like state from sleeplessness is really not going to make for a pleasant mommy today and I'm working on a gigantic closet clean-up project. Imagine having a kid that's almost 3 and that you haven't gotten rid of ANY of their stuff from the day they were born on. I've got about 7 trashbags full of clothes, shoes, toys, and various sundries to find a home for... maybe I can pull off a yard sale and make some book $$? Oooh this is a good idea... must go ponder some more. See ya on the flipside y'all! -- Rhi

Перевод песни Malevolent Creation – Stillborn
Работает на технологии Яндекс.Переводчика
My thoughts my mind's trapped behind. An inescapable wall of depression. Try to face it one to one, eye to eye. Accepting no lies. Cannot break my boundaries. Forever held in a grasp of despair. My thoughts all die. Before they are born. Expression of my mind suffers. Tormented under mental chains. Only alive to serve others. Caring nothing of my own pain. Stillborn. Stillborn, reeling of my mind. Fighting everything. No hope of ever being heard. To set it free. Just live to suffer. Trapped inside these fleshened walls. So many live, how many perish? Will never achieve it's goal. Stillborn. I am dead before I am alive. Open wide and be force fed. Pitiful way of existence. What they instill into your head. Insight silenced before it escapes. Left to rot in hell. Blinded by falsified hope. Succumb to your mental shell. I... am...Stillborn!

Grant Associates worked with the Natural History Museum, Ten Alps and Land Design Studio to develop the design concept and installation of the UK Pavilion for Expo 2005 in Japan. The expo opened in April 2005 and ran until September 2005, under the theme of 'Natures Wisdom'.
Design Details:
- Internal exhibition celebrated scientific innovation, whilst an external exhibition zone examined the human effect on the natural world
- External zone formed a setting for a sequence of special artworks by leading UK artists
- Each artist was set an ecological theme, such as deforestation or river pollution, to inspire their piece
- The external garden also functioned as an interactive queuing space capturing the spirit of a wild British Woodland
- Densely planted Lime trees enhanced the impact of the woodland, providing welcome shade and dappled sunlight
- The trees were underplanted with a sequence of seasonal flora displays of native British species; Daffodils, Blue Bells, Foxgloves, Angelic, Ferns

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 18.104.22.168
Forum Moderators: rogerd & travelin cat
WordPress 3.4 is here and out the door. We've dubbed this release "Green" in honor of guitarist Grant Green whose soulful simplicity has kept many of us company during this release.
This release includes significant improvements to theme customization, custom headers, Twitter embeds, and image captions
The biggest change in 3.4 is the theme customizer which allows you to play around with various looks and settings for your current theme or one you're thinking about switching to without publishing those changes to the whole world. For themes that support it, you can change colors, backgrounds, and of course custom image headers. We have more planned for the customizer down the road.

Music has long been known to have a special effect on people. You've heard about "Music for Meditation", "Music for Healing", or "Music for Concentration", etc. For instance, there are special musical pieces that are now played in major hospitals around the world that many people claim to help in healing and recovery. While practicing meditation, Yoga gurus recommend a special type of music that helps relaxation and inner peace. Music has been used throughout the ages in religious worship, because of its power to focus feelings and emotions on certain subjects. It is even claimed that Jamal Abdel Nasser, Egypt's late ruler, decreed that 'tarab' music be composed for Umm Kultum (one of the Arab world's main diva signers), because that type of music had such a mesmerizing effect on the masses, hoping this will divert their attention from the turbulent political issues of that day. Not to mention the positive effect that music has on newborn babies. Scientific research has well documented the positive effect of Mozart's music on young babies' mental development.
On the other side, you also have dark music that is sometimes associated with drugs, occult worship, etc and this can also have an equally destructive power on the mind.
One therefore wonders what's the secret behind music's powerful effects? The answer in my opinion is simply this: music is the best brain catalyst able to simulate the creation of an inner imaginary world for the purpose of improving the harsh reality we live in. In all of the above applications, whether it is used for healing, or meditation, etc, positive music is always assisting the imaginative brain in simulating a positive world, a beautiful scene, or good feeling or mood, that nicely dresses up, and sometimes overrides, the existing harsh world we live in. The resulting yearning for a better world or life helps to drive our being into where we would like to be.
No one sees the world as it really is, for we all see it through the eyeglasses of our minds. Some of us have highly visual minds, some are more analytical, some are very sentimental. Positive music plays such an important role in shaping up our minds (babies even more so) and enhancing its visual, analytical, and emotional capabilities, so that it can 'see' the world in a more pleasant way.
That is why positive and visual music plays an important role in enhancing the imagination. And that's the main reason for my project and the new album "Figment of your Imagination" that I am about to release (http://www.reverbnation.com/tunepak/2606035). After all, when you really think of it, the world is nothing but a figment of your imagination.

After completing the Water System Business Plan for the City of Anderson, Design South was retained to complete a comprehensive water system master plan. The master planning effort included the evaluation of the existing distribution, storage, pumping, and transmission system.
The existing distribution lines were modeled and a deficiency analysis was performed. There were several areas in the city where residents complained of low system pressures. Also identified were areas that had existing pipes that were almost 100 years old. The project resulted in the upgrade of over 17 miles of distribution pipeline in nine specific project areas. Also included as part of the project were 130 new isolation valves, 80 system connections, 60 new fire hydrants, and re-connection of over 1,200 customer water meters.

Made Me Happy This Week
Paul spent the first half of this week recovering and getting back to health so it has been a relatively quiet week for us. I haven enjoyed a few too many Pumpkin Spice Lattes while I have been out, I am concerned it is becoming an addiction and when they take them away I am going to be left with a hole in my life. The above picture is of a very friendly chicken I met this week, she really wanted her photo taken.
Made me happy this week...
1. Very quiet afternoons when all you can hear is the wind in the trees.
2. Making pie on a Friday night, a recipe I want to share here really soon when I have improved it just a little more.
3. Waking up to a freshly made cup of tea, such a small thing but I love it.
4. Custard cream and bourbon biscuit spread! Two new find this week and a new love in our life -even if it is just a somewhat lazy way of getting biscuits in your mouth.
5. Drinking way too many Pumpkin Spiced Lattes.
6. Making lots of plans for Autumn and the weeks leading up to Christmas.
7. Being very proud of myself for having so many Christmas presents bought and hidden away already. Leaving much more time for baking and cheese eating in the run up to the day its self.
8. Burning our first Autumn candle. It had to be salted caramel, the house smells just like dessert right now.
9. A trip to Costco, I love it there!

Yudu Rocks at CHAcomments (12) January 31st, 2009
One of the coolest things about going to CHA is seeing lots of brand-new craft supplies and tools. I thought I'd take a few posts here to share some things that had my crafty fingers tingling in anticipation.
The Provo Craft booth was mobbed with people during the show, and it was all because of the Yudu. It's a portable, all-in-one screen printer, and Provo had a whole fleet of them cranking out screened T-shirts for an excited crowd.
Yudu's design is pretty genius: It comes with a metal mesh screen. You cover it with a sheet of emulsion, and place a transparency (printed from your home printer) over the emulsion. Then the Yudu's built-in light table exposes the emulsion
You can pull a bunch of prints, and then—here's the best bit—wash the emulsion right out of the screen. Then you can reburn it with new designs again and again. The print area is 11 inches x 14 inches—sized for a T-shirt front, but you can print all kinds of fabrics and papers.
Yudu uses water-based, nontoxic inks, which come in lots of great colors.
There's a great, detailed video tutorial over at the Yudu website, along with diagrams, inks and accessories, and more.
'Scuse me now...I need to go screen print everything in sight.

I just found a website that i wish I had found before i messed up, www.yuduforums.com, which looks like it just went online but has some videos and how tos and stuff. Its a decent read to help with some of the mistakes that I made.
Posted: 4:05 pm on February 24th
You should be able to find additional Yudu supplies at local hobby and craft retailers such as AC Moore and JoAnns.
You mention you bought through HSN. I believe that HSN is sending out the emulsion remover. Hopefully that will be heading your way soon. Have fun!
