The BitTorrent protocol provides one of the fastest ways to download large files from the internet, but to take advantage of it you need to install a torrent client. Transmission is one such client and it benefits from an extremely small resource footprint as well as the fact that it is incredibly easy to use.
The client is written in objective-c which means, on a Mac, that it integrates tightly with OS X and uses Growl notification and dock badges to keep you informed about the status of the program. Besides speed and low resource requirements, Transmission includes everything you would expect to find in a torrent client.
In addition to the program itself, there is also a web interface for download management, peer exchange, support for magnet links, global and torrent by torrent speed limiting and much more.
One of the key benefits of Transmission over other torrent clients is the number of add-ons that are available. Browse through the add-ons directory and you will find everything from the ability to control torrents from your mobile to an updated web interface and much more.
What's new in 2.94 (see the release notes for more info)?
- Fix building against LibreSSL (#284, #486, #570)
- Fix building against mbedTLS (#115, #528)
- Fix torrents ETA calculation (#522)
- Fix cross-compilation issues caused by miniupnpc configuration test (#475)
There are a number of torrent clients to choose from, but Transmission's speed and extension options means that it is well worth a look.

1. Mathematics.
The Examiners in Mathematics recommend that the mathematical course should comprise:-
A knowledge of the principles of a decimal currency on the basis of the pound unit.
Book-keeping by double entry.
Algebra, including Quadratic Equations, and the Theory and Application of Logarithms. Elements of Euclid, Books I. II. III. and VI., XL, (first 21 propositions,) and XII., (first 10 propositions.)
Plane and Spherical Trigonometry, with the solution of both plane and spherical triangles by the use of Logarithmic Tables.
Land Surveying.
Nautical Astronomy.
The properties of Conic Sections treated geometrically, or graphically by the method of projections.
The Examiners desire to impress on the notice of the candidates the importance of making themselves acquainted with methods of investigation and principles. They believe that much valuable time is lost over curious problems, which have nothing to recommend them but their difficulty, and in solving Algebraical equations, which require nothing but expertness in manipulating symbols.
The Examiners are of opinion that a candidate by directing the course of his reading in this way, with no greater expenditure of time than at present is given to acquiring a knowledge of the rudiments of Mathematics, might obtain some acquaintance with the principle of Duality, learn something of the method of Poles and Polars, of Transversal lines, and acquire some familiarity with the elementary principles of Solid and Descriptive geometry, and of the methods of Projection applied to derive the principal proportions of the Conic Sections from the circle. To solve Algebraical equations or Geometrical problems is seldom required in the business of practical life. The Examiners will be prepared to test the candidates by an examination conducted in principles and methods which may be obtained by careful reading, rather than by setting curious puzzles to tax their ingenuity.
2. Physics.
The Examiners in Mechanics would particularly direct the attention of candidates to the importance of obtaining a clear knowledge of the general principles on which all machines must be constructed. They are of opinion that this knowledge, though at first sight it may seem abstract, will in the end prove of far more value to the intelligent engineer than any early familiarity with the construction or working of individual machines. When the mind once lays fast hold of a general principle, it becomes a very easy matter to apply it as circumstances may arise. The uninstructed workman, after the familiarity it may be of years with the working of machinery in motion, comes at last to gather the general principle from a life-long induction of particulars. He invents for himself a theory of mechanics. Had he been properly instructed, he might have started where he ends. The Examiners will endeavour to test the candidates' knowledge of general principles applied to the construction of ordinary and familiar machines. The Examiners in Physics desire to direct the attention of candidates to the study of the properties of Heat, a knowledge of which is of so much importance to the right understanding of the action of the great motive power Steam, the construction of furnaces, and the economical consumption of fuel. The principles involved in the theory of Hydrostatics are of daily practical application. Indeed there is no knowledge of a general principle or acquaintance with a particular physical fact that may not sometime or other be turned to account.
The Examiners in Mechanics and in the Natural Sciences recommend that the course should comprise:-
The Principles of Mechanism.
Practical Mechanics.
The theory of heat, especially with reference to the properties of steam.
The Examiners desire it to be distinctly understood that they can assign very little value even to correct answers, when unaccompanied by a demonstration, where practicable.
They consider the habit of accurate inductive reasoning to be an important secondary advantage accruing from the study of Mathematics and Physics.
*** Candidates in Mathematics or Physics, who are not prepared to be examined in the whole of the above subjects, may take up a portion of them and receive Certificates of the Grade to which the Examiner shall consider them entitled.

Premiere screenings of "Awaken" starring Darryl Hannah on Friday April 24th, and "Two Down" produced by Stephen Fry (Sherlock Holmes: Game of Shadows, The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug, V for Vendetta) on Saturday April 25th will anchor the festival, along with a Friday evening screening of the James Cameron action classic "Terminator 2: Judgment Day" starring Linda Hamilton and Arnold Schwarzenegger. Hamilton will also be honored with the Artemis Action Icon Award for her pioneering work in the genre.
Sports and Social Change worked with the festival organizers to find sports documentaries that highlight women in action, and we focused on films connected to nonprofit orgs that share in the message of women's empowerment through sports. Here are just a few of the kick-ass sports documentary films screening at the Artemis Women in Action Film Festival:
Underexposed (Skateboarding)
Nonprofit Org: Exposure Skate
Beyond the Surface (Surfing)
Nonprofit Org: Beyond the Surface International
Ready to Fly (Ski Jumping)
Nonprofit Org: Women's Ski Jumping USA
We also brought aboard Girls on the Run Los Angeles County as the festival's nonprofit honoree. Girls on the Run is an amazing program committed to making a lasting difference in the lives of girls by teaching them the skills they need to be strong, confident, and healthy women. Over the past 10 years, Girls on the Run LA County has impacted thousands of girls with a proven curriculum of 20 lessons that prepare girls for the challenges ahead, including standing up for themselves, building strong bodies, and supporting healthy relationships. Running is used to inspire and motivate girls, encourage lifelong health, and to build confidence through accomplishment.
Film festival screenings have been grouped into genre-specific "blocks" to highlight complimentary films, shorts and documentaries, such as:
- Olympic Sportswomen (Women's Judo, Cycling and Ski Jumping) on Fri 4/24
- Superheroines, Swordswomen and Sci-fi Femmes on Sat 4/25
- Women On Wheels (Women's Skateboarding and Roller Derby) on Sat 4/25
- Action Women UK on Sat 4/25
- Pulp Action/Tough Gals on Sat 4/25
- Action Women International on Sun 4/26
- Just for the Girls (Films appropriate for Girls ages 7-15) on Sun 4/26
- Fighting Women (Women's Boxing and MMA) on Sun 4/26
"The Artemis Women In Action Film Festival was established to change the perception of women in film and in society," said festival organizer Sean Newcombe. "Rather than being consigned to roles as long-suffering girlfriends, dutiful wives and loyal assistants, the Artemis Women In Action Film Festival highlights women as fearless fighters, leaders and heroes in their own right."

John Layman scripts "Batman Eternal" #9 over Scott Snyder and James Tynion IV's storyline, and Guillem March handles the art. As Batman temporarily leaves Gotham City to learn the recent history of the city's resurgent mob leader Carmine Falcone, Falcone declares war on even more of Gotham's costumed inhabitants. The writing team makes the most of this series' weekly format, continuing to bring additional characters into the ever-expanding story without convoluting it, and provide enough excitement to make readers thankful that it's a weekly.
This issue in particular is filled with surprising character appearances, structured by Layman and March to maximize their impact, each one a bigger twist than the last. There have been many ongoing plot threads established over the course of the past eight issues, but the writing team goes for depth here and not width, focusing only on Falcone's new target and Batman's investigation. There's definitive story advancement on both of these threads; nothing is padded out in an effort to fill what will eventually amount to a several-hundred page tale, and there's a connection between the different story elements that give this issue a cohesiveness often not historically seen in weekly comic titles.
With a huge gallery of characters available for use and a massive story big enough to fit them all in, the writers take full advantage and bring in an unexpected guest star that's not a big name in the Bat-verse, but one who makes perfect sense to use given the nature and locale of the story. In fact, there's even room for new characters, as witnessed by the introduction of one in particular, revealed to have a startling connection to an existing and long-standing character already firmly implanted in the Batman mythos, in the most surprising twist of all at the conclusion of the issue.
Guillem March is one of the strongest artists thus far on the series, dynamically moving the story along with a diverse assortment of page layouts. The combination of inset panels, skewed panel placement and unusual perspective gives the story flow additional punch. His polished look puts a nice accent on this issue's non-traditional setting, giving it a unique flavor while enabling it to fit comfortably within the context of the overall storyline. Colorist Tomeu Morey nicely distinguishes the two different backdrops; Gotham is typically dark, and is brilliantly contrasted against the brighter tones elsewhere.
With the series firmly underway, "Batman Eternal" #9 makes a strong case for its existence by continuing to grow the story in a manner that only a weekly would allow, telling a story that's clearly relevant to the other Batman titles. This is one of the series' best issues so far, in large part due to the concentration on specific elements and the surprises contained within.

Skyler Palmquist, age 8, and Cayden Palmquist, age 10, are hopeful about what might be accomplished in Paris at the United Nations Climate Change Conference, but wondered why they needed to wait for an international agreement before they took action on carbon emissions.
So, they issued a challenge from their home in Frederick, Maryland: How Low Can We Go challenges friends, schools, businesses, and towns, to take fossil fuel use "as low as we can go" on November 30, 2015, to show support for the conference in France.
MORE: 6 Young Environmental Leaders Win Prestigious Bower Award
"Our kids have grown up playing outside and want to protect the places they love. So, a few weeks ago, we sent out a challenge by way of a homemade video, narrated by Skyler and Cayden, that we posted on YouTube," explained Ingrid Palmquist. "How Low Can We Go is a collective action that anyone can take, from anywhere, to send the message that we are ready and willing to reduce our carbon emissions. The kids are asking us all to unplug, park it, turn it off, or switch to 100% renewable clean energy for November 30."
The siblings were especially excited when their grandmother was the first to accept the challenge. Their school, the Lucy School in Middletown, MD, also responded that it would accept the How Low Can We Go challenge, and is planning school-wide participation. Then local businesses, and folks near and far, joined the effort. "We've had responses from Finland, England, Ghana and Abu Dhabi, to name a few. The video has been seen in 23 countries," said Mark Palmquist.
MORE: 'Good Will Students' Take Action For The Environment
Skyler and Cayden are encouraging kids who take the How Low Can We Go challenge to spend time outside on November 30. "That's where real life is," says Cayden. "Real life isn't in a screen."
"We want the people meeting in Paris to know that we are serious, and that we really can do this. We really mean it," says Skyler.
How Low Can We Go uses November 30, the kick-off date for the U.N. Climate Conference, as a rallying point, and asks us to take a close look at our reliance on fossil fuels. The challenge involves consuming less energy altogether, or switching to a renewable energy source, and then carrying forward into the future the adaptations made on November 30.

This is the tale of how The One Who Knows Everything came to be....
Late November, 1998. We had just lived through one of the worst days of our lives...we had survived the funeral of our first born son.
Jake and I had decided that we needed some time. We weren't exactly ready for parenthood when Joey came along. We were young...I was just 21 and Jake was 22. We decided that we needed to spend some time together, just he and I. Enjoy being newlyweds, travel, relax and regroup after the grueling year we'd had.
After the funeral, I slept for a week. When I say that...I mean it. I actually slept for a week straight. The days were so painful and I desperately tried to keep myself busy to keep my mind off of Joey. Keeping busy turned out to be nearly impossible. I was a stay-at-home mom...without my child.
The house was eerily quiet. There were no diapers to change...no bottles to warm...no cherub face to wake up to every morning. I mean...Jake is a handsome man...but cherub faced, he is not!!! It dawned on me one day...
The day that you become a mother...the day that precious bundle is placed in your arms...you tell yourself that you will be a mother forever. Until the day you die...you will mother this child. You do not allow yourself to even consider the thought of outliving this child...of losing the one who made you a mother.
I found myself, all of a sudden...not a mother anymore. It was sickening, sad and unnatural. I told Jake that I had to be a mom again. I couldn't wait...I couldn't busy myself with travel or a job. I could not "be" until I was a mother again. Jake could see the pain I was in and even though he really wanted to wait...he knew the maternal pull I was feeling was not to be ingored. Avery was conceived just 4 weeks after Joey died.
So, Avery...our smart, honest, LOUD, cautious, obedient, handsome Avery...our leader...the one who will do amazing things in his life...you were conceived out of longing and compassion...fear and sadness...but most of all, the undying love a mother has for her child. You resurrected me...you gave me hope and a reason to live.

Well my fourth year at Mesa Verde is just about in the books so to speak. There is just something about this area of the USA that keeps calling me back. My summer was largely outside the Park exploring various places .... some for the first time and other favorites for a repeat visit. The big difference was I was able to find a friend to share these experiences with .... that was HUGE. It is so much better than doing everything alone. But in four years this was the only year I could…Continue

I had been cooking for more than 10 years when I first heard of people that would work seasonally. I was a sous chef at a local resort in Wisconsin and was training a cook for the summer. He told me about how he had worked at the Grand Canyon and at Yosemite National Parks, but that summer he had two sisters getting married and his grandparent's 50th wedding anniversary and decided to stay home for the summer.

Motivation is the back bone of any new healthy lifestyle change - before you start training, dieting and buying your supplements you need motivation to begin your journey. It can take months and sometimes years for a person to gather enough motivation to take the leap and it can often take a crazy moment to act as their stimulus. This month's motivational story comes in two parts, in the form of James & Jane - in short they are a ''super human'' couple who had hit rock bottom with their health and self-confidence and said ''sod it, let's change'' and they did just that!!
Jane recalls a moment at the back end of 2011 where James had downed 15 pints of beer and semmed as fresh as he did several thousand calories before hand. For both of them it was enough, it was time to make a change. Just five months later both of them have gone from nealy 40% body fat to single figures - the story has much more to it than that, but in regards to ''motivation'' that is all you need to know! Go over that last sentence again, these guys just went from unhealthy, over weight individuals to super fit pin-up role models!

Mark Twain QuoteMonday, August 27, 2012
Twenty years from now
you will be more disappointed
by the things that you didn't do
than by the ones you did do.

So throw off the bowlines.
Sail away from the safe harbor.
Catch the trade winds in your sails.
~~ Mark Twain
That's it! Take this week to rediscover something you want to do - and take at least one step towards doing it.

Ed Sheeran has admitted to drinking too much in the past, but on The Jonathan Ross Show Saturday, the singer-songwriter reveals for the first he has also struggled with substance abuse.
"I think you need to, when you get into the industry, adjust to [fame], and I didn't adjust because I was constantly working on tour. And all the pitfalls that people read about, I just found myself slipping into all of them. Mostly, like, substance abuse," Sheeran said. "I never touched anything. I started slipping into it, and that's why I took a year off and buggered off."
Before he released his third album in March, the "Shape of You" singer went on a year-long hiatus to clear his head. During that time, Sheeran famously got rid of his cell phone and went on a self-imposed social media blackout. "I focused on work, and I can't work under the influence. I can't write songs under the influence. I can't perform under the influence. So, the more I worked, the less [that happened]," Sheeran said on the show. "I've worked my whole life to get to where I am, and you can't lose that over something that you do in your spare time."

Property Overview
Nevada Copper's Pumpkin Hollow Project is located in the pro-mining state of Nevada, USA with first production anticipated in Q4, 2019.
The property hosts an underground near-term production mine (in construction) and, approximately 4km west, a permitted open pit development project. In addition to the considerable deposit size, a number of opportunities exist to increase mine life for both the underground and open pit, through resource expansion and exploration drilling if successful.
The underground mine development has been fast-tracked by re-engineering with construction proceeding on time and on budget under a fixed price contract for the process plant.
The open pit development is potentially one of the least capital-intensive copper projects globally and has an estimated 23-year project life.
Other details include:
- Pumpkin Hollow is a high-grade skarn/Iron Oxide Copper Gold (IOCG) deposit located within a porphyry copper district that has a large metal endowment in deposits controlled by Nevada Copper and a number of other companies.
- Fully-permitted for both underground and open pit project on private land.
- Significant Resource/Reserve Upside.
- Excellent Infrastructure -- Water, Power, Rail, Roads, & Labour.
- Highly-supportive local community

MANILA, Philippines - There are precious few things in this world that are priceless: a hand to hold, a kiss, a warm embrace. Love. This Year of the Snake and Valentine's Day, too celebrate your passions with some of the best chocolate in the world. For a full enchanting experience, Villa Del Conte is offering a special limited edition box containing 385 grams of chocolate excellence for only P1,480.
Encased in a red box with a gold heart band, it's a collection of praline sticks and domes guaranteed to satisfy any chocolate craving. The sumptuous domes come in the following flavors: dark chocolate with tartufone cream and cereal; dark chocolate with whiskey mocha; dark chocolate with salted toffee; milk chocolate with hazelnut and hazelnut chips; and milk chocolate with blueberry cream filling.
The praline sticks are more playful with fruit-inspired flavors: milk chocolate with watermelon cream filling; milk chocolate with strawberry cream filling; milk chocolate with banana cream filling; dark chocolate with mint cream filling; and dark chocolate with orange cream filling.
For those who are looking for something simpler, Villa Del Conte also has the Amore boxes which showcases their wonderful truffle collection. For only P380, choose from one of three extraordinary truffles: fig fillet, marron glace (chestnut), and walnut.
Fig is a fruit not commonly found in chocolate, but it is delicious. In the Villa del Conte truffle, the chocolate doesn't merely case the fig, the two produce a full and harmonious flavor. Each element is intact yet playfully blending together for a wonderful surprise on the palate. The walnut truffle is remarkable — the nut is very fresh, its crunch still wholly intact. Like what fine wine does with food, the chocolate enhances the walnut complementing and contrasting to bring out the best in its natural flavor. The chestnut truffle is smooth and velvety, a most luxurious texture. The taste is very subtle slowly filling the plate with a soft nutty flavour.
The truffles come in a beautiful pink or white heart-shaped box. Each chocolate is handcrafted by master Enrico Cattapan for your delight and the pleasure of those you love.
Villa del Conte is available at the third floor, Shangri-la Plaza Edsa; second floor, Greenbelt 5; third floor, TriNoma and the ground floor Resorts World Manila.

Panoxyl Review
Panoxyl Acne is advertised to gently remove dirt and excess oil, and to cleanse and unclog pores, which is the same thing that most acne cleansers claim to do, but Panoxyl is affordable and convenient to use.
If Panoxyl were more effective than more expensive alternatives, it would be a great addition to your skincare regimen.
We need to look at the ingredients and consumer reviews before we can figure that out.
About Panoxyl
Panoxyl Acne is available in the form of a bar (similar to that of a bar of soap) a foam, or a topical gel. As well as coming in 2 different forms, it is also available in 2 different concentrates of Benzoyl Peroxide, 5 and 10%.
Panoxyl Ingredients
Benzoyl Peroxide is found in many acne treatments, but studies have shown that it doesn't necessarily get more effective when used in higher dosages. This chemical is a very strong acne fighter, but it has been known to kill both good and bad bacteria. It is so strong that it is too harsh for the sensitive skin of the face.
With a lengthy list of possible side effects; redness, burning, itching, peeling, and possible swelling, Benzoyl Peroxide should be used, if at all, with extreme caution.
If you are looking for a last minute fix to a current acne breakout, Panoxyl might be helpful, but we wouldn't recommend using it on a daily basis. Panoxyl is strong enough to kill your current acne, however with the use of benzoyl peroxide, not only will it fight off your acne, it will also dry out your skin and leave behind other side effects.

What to expect from the World Endurance Championship
As our resident veteran endurance racing expert Gary Watkins heads off to this weekend's Sebring 12 Hours, he still can't quite believe the world sportscar championship is back
My overriding emotion as I head off to Sebring this week is one of disbelief, for reasons good and bad.
For a start, I still can't believe that my two-decade wait for the return of a proper world championship for long-distance sportscar racing has finally come to an end. It's been virtually a career's worth of expectation – and disappointment – on my part.

The year 2010 was filled with so many fabulous memories of food, travel and friends. Through writing this blog, I've made many new friends, who have also become regular readers of the blog. Whenever I see a comment or get an email from a reader who has made a recipe or visited a restaurant or place I wrote about, I'm ecstatic. I love them! Please keep the emails and comments coming. I truly love to hear how your dishes and travels turn out.
Below are my best memories of the year. Many of them are also some of the most popular posts on Food Lover's Odyssey, so it looks like they're your favorites, too. Thank you for traveling, and eating, along with me. I wish all of you a very Happy New Year and a 2011 full of great food, friends and happy travels!
Pasta and Friends in Rome
Usually I've planned my meals before I step foot off the plane or train in Rome. Pasta Dishes in Rome are some of the best in Italy. It looks like you agree as the post, Roman Pasta Dishes and 10 Places in Rome to Eat Them, was the most popular of all others in 2010. Although I love all of them, my favorite is L'Amatriciana. The readers' favorite was Cacio e Pepe in a Parmesan Bowl inspired by the trattoria Roma Sparita. This year I got to eat these dishes again at some of my favorite trattorie and was able to recreate those two along with Potato Gnocchi for Gnocchi Giovedi and the fall specialty Fettuccine ai Funghi.
Not only were my Rome memories filled with pasta, but they were also filled with friends. I met up with Daniel - my "big brother from another mother" - yes, the Daniel from my stories in Venice. We became fast friends last year. Although it had been a year since we'd seen each other, it felt as if no time had passed when we met up again in Rome. After days filled with sights and pasta, we would walk off our meals under the city in lights. Paris may be called the City of Lights, but Rome at night is just as enchanting.
As the Italian saying goes, "Rome, una vita non basta." (Rome, one life is not enough.) Because it is so true, I'm already planning meals for my return in March. I can promise you more pasta posts from Rome and recreations of those dishes in 2011.
Fish Ravioli in a Seafood Sauce (Ravioli di Pesce ai Frutti di Mare)
After pasta in Rome, this was my favorite dish of 2010. Though it has been almost 6 months since I've tasted that sauce of the sea, so simple and so intense, it still lingers in my memories, if not on my tongue. I remember every last drop that I sopped up with the thick country bread.
La Coda alla Vaccinara - Roman Braised Oxtail
I love this post and this dish for so many reasons - how I obtained the recipe, the history of the dish, how good it is, and that it helped me win a contest! I was lucky to have the chef at Capo di Ferro in Rome give me his recipe for this dish. It, along with the other offal dishes of Rome, is rooted in Rome's culinary history and La Cucina Povera. By recreating this dish and writing about it, I was the winner of the September GranTourismo Travel Blogging Contest. My prize is a stay in a HomeAway apartment, which I will be using in Venice in March 2011.
Seeing Napoli with Napoli Unplugged
I first met the Napoli Unplugged duo, Bonnie and Steve, via Twitter. While I was in Napoli this year, we met face-to-face. The American expats have adopted the city as their own. Their love for Napoli and their gracious and welcoming spirits are equal to any of the Neapolitans I've met.
They took me to a feast of several Neapolitan food courses at Ristorante Buon Gustaio on via Posillipo. Afterwards, they gave me a night tour of their neighborhood in Posillipo. We had a Cafe del Nonno (creamy dreamy dessert-like coffee with ice and a little chocolate) from Antonio. Over the cafe, I met some of the local characters in the neigborhood. Bonnie, Steve and their son had me cracking up over their stories of the city and wanting to return for a New Year's Eve in Napoli. Another day, Bonnie gave me a personal tour of her classic stroll through the Centro Storico. Grazie Tanto Bonnie and Steve!
Although there is so much more to the food of Naples than just pizza, pizza in Napoli is always a highlight for me. This year, I ate pizza in Napoli, and I made it. It was a pizza class in Sorrento through Ciao Laura. We actually made three courses in total, but the highlight was the pizza, cooked in a wood-burning oven. The class, geared towards cooks of all levels, was so much fun but also very educational. The group ranged from teenagers who may never have stepped in a kitchen before to a guy from Canada that had been making pizza professionally for 10-plus years. We each made the type of pizza we wanted, then shared it with the group. I made the classic pizza margherita, which was exceptional. After this class, I'm inspired to make more pizza. That is, once I build my own wood-burning oven.
Foie Gras for Breakfast in the Dordogne
I spent a month in the Dordogne in France. It was work-related, but I was also able to venture out and see some of the villages, towns and cities in the area. Although I haven't shared all my travels with you yet, here are a two: Market Day in Sarlat and Duck Dishes of Dordogne. In that month, I'm sure I ate more duck than I had in my entire life, even having foie gras for breakfast at a market one morning. In the next month or two I will share the rest of my travels in Dordogne, and maybe a duck dish, with you.
Pesto and Other Dishes in Liguria
Liguria was not in my plans for 2010, but the July heat and humidity in Italy had me making some minor travel adjustments. Instead of a visit inland to Tuscany, I spent a week mostly lounging on the beach in the Cinque Terre. I did get off my lettino (sun bed) to visit Camogli and a few other coastal towns. Along with the beach and my lettino, fish and seafood were highlights of my visit. Besides the fish ravioli I mentioned above, other highlights included Pesto, Seafood Risotto, Spaghetti allo Scoglio.
A Sicilian Holiday Dinner
Sadly, I didn't get to Sicily in 2010. I was able to transport myself and others to Sicily with a few dishes for a December birthday dinner party. Involtini di Melanzane (Stuffed Eggplant rolls), Spaghetti Siracusana, Braciola di Maiale (Braised Pork Roll), Lemon Granita and the Torta Setteveli (included in my best sweet memories of 2010). When I cook for others, I'm giving and sharing part of myself with them. It was such a pleasure to share the island I love so much with Paula (who's also Sicilian-American), her family and her friends.
Le Fete du Vin in Bordeaux -- Especially the Spectacular Light Show Finale
Many travel to the Bordeaux region and visit only the wine regions located outside the city. My first trip to the region, I did just that. This trip I went mainly to check out Le Fete du Vin, but found a truly vibrant city with so much history. I can't wait to go back. The wine festival was more about sipping and socializing, than actual wine education, but it was fun. And, where else but in France would there be foie gras as festival street fare and free samples of Jambon de Bayonne?
The highlight of the event was the Light Show Finale, which told the history of Bordeaux through light images and an audio retelling. The buildings on Place de la Bourse were used as screens for the light show. I thought it also appropriate to end this post with a slideshow of the photos I took during the show.
What was your best food and/or travel memory of 2010?

Tips about wrapping Christmas presents… aka random thoughts based on a conversation from lunch today:
When wrapping Christmas gifts, you would be wise to take the toys out of the packaging, remove all those annoying wires and gadgets that hold the toy in place, insert batteries if need be, and then wrap the toy. Then when it's time to open gifts, you will be able to enjoy watching the children open the gifts instead of constantly trying to remove all the excessive wires, etc.
Do your kids get gifts from Santa? Do you have a good hiding place they're in right now? Have you considered putting the gifts under the tree unwrapped? At first I didn't like this idea cause then kids wouldn't have gifts to open. But as I thought that through, they would likely still have a gift from mom, dad, grandma's, and others who will wrap them. Unwrapped gifts are perfectly okay. After all, every time you see Santa on TV with his bag of loot, are the gifts wrapped 100% of the time? It will save you time, save on the piles of paper and if your kids are young enough, they won't care.
Now, if your family is like mine, we don't do Christmas gifts from Santa. In fact, Santa is just another fun character like the veggie tales and Batman. Yes, our kids have learned about Saint Nicholas via the Veggie Tales movie, but the actual fat dude in a red suit who crawls down the chimney only in "rich" countries, well, we don't focus on him. And we're not criticizing you if you do, it's just my personal decision for my family. Often times my parents will get a gift from Santa and so will Ryan cause it's fun. Our kids probably will too when they're older but not right now when they're 6, 4, and 3. So anyway, back to my point, I had another thought about gift wrapping. Instead of spending endless hours of gift wrapping while the kids aren't staying in bed, or while you're exhausted, the thought occurred to me that we could get a big box, put all of their smaller gifts in it and wrap it. That, my friends, would be awesome. Kids still get to unwrap a gift. I don't have to wrap a hand full of gifts, and we save on picking up piles of paper. I'd be more than happy to let the 3 things of tape sit there for another year!
What are your Christmas wrapping thoughts and plans?

A Private Matter (Beware: Bathroom Humor Ahead)
Every mother knows that going to the bathroom in a public restroom with little ones in tow can be tricky. I've had many an embarrassing moment in bathroom stalls over the years, but this past weekend is one for the record books.
Son #4 (two years old) had to use the bathroom while we were out to lunch at a casual, sit down restaurant. Since I had to go too, I volunteered to take him. We crammed ourselves into the stall at which time he started to chant, "You don't have a penis. You don't have a penis." Then he went through all of his three brothers proclaiming that they had penises.
Finally, he came to his dad and the chant went something like this, "Daddy has a penis! Big penis!" By this time, I was practically hysterical laughing and trying to muffle my giggles all while trying to pee. Well, I wasn't successful in muffling anything. I squeaked out a toot to which my son inquired in a very loud voice, "You going poop, mom?" This only got me laughing harder.
Eventually, I heard the toilet flush in the other stall, hands being washed and the restroom door opening and closing. The coast was clear! He and I spilled out of the stall to wash our hands and left the restroom. Thank goodness we were done eating and could head straight for the exit. I can only imagine the conversation being had at the table with the lady in the adjacent stall. Perhaps she showed some class and kept it to herself! I, on the other hand, have never described myself as classy and so I feel compelled to share this hilarity with you.
Do you have any similar stories? Feel free to taunt etiquette and share them with us.

Ha ha ha! Thanks for sharing that story; I find it rather humorous.
And you know that whether the lady had class or not she was sharing the story with whoever she was at the diner with.Comment by Blaine Moore — Jun 13th 2007 @ 11:21 am

Holly Cookies
½ cup butter or margarine
2 packages marshmallows (see Note #1)
1½ teaspoons vanilla
green food colouring
7½ cups corn flakes
Melt margarine and marshmallows. Add vanilla and food colouring. Pour over corn flakes. Fold to mix. Drop by spoonful onto cookie sheets. Add cinnamon candies or cherries for decoration. (See Note #2)
Note #1: I found 250g bags of marshmallows and 400g bags. I opted to go with two 250g bags, although you could try getting away with a single 400g bag.
Note #2: I can't put those cinnamon hearts on anything if it isn't Februray. I'm sorry. I guess I'm a purist. I opted for red M&Ms which gave a nice hit of chocolate. Plus I think they look nicer. Remember to place them "m" side down.

Hmm. I'm liking the free-form holly business. I've only seen these as little wreaths, which look like infinitely more trouble.ReplyDelete
I understand your feelings about the cinnamon candies. Can you even *get* them at Christmas time? Plus, the addition of M&Ms makes just about everything better.
Life is short. Well, too short to spend your time trying to make these look like wreaths. You can likely find cinnamon hearts at this time of year, but chances are, they're left over from last Valentine's Day. Ew.ReplyDelete
No, you can get the cinnamon candies where the jimmies (sprinkles) and cake decorating supplies are.ReplyDelete
Also, it freaks me out that these are shiny.
Aha! No idea what cinnamon candies are (although I do like the sound of them). There are SO DEFINITELY going to be some of these made and scoffed around North London this Christmas.ReplyDeleteReplies
Let them scoff. Then watch at they scarf them down.Delete
Scarf them down they did! Mine weren't as luminous as yours (marshmallows only come in mixed bags of white and pink here as far as I know and I BET you used all white ones) but the shininess was indeed remarked upon.

Check out David K. Flowers' post: Church — The Five Things I Dislike Most
Hiding behind God instead of letting God shed light
Peter Scazzero calls this "using God to run from God." In the church this takes the form of using the Bible/God to justify, excuse, and even fuel our own bigotry, violence, anger, hatred, and xenophobia. Doubtless if you are looking for ways to be sick, you can find plenty of sick things in the Bible to defend your sickness. But if you are looking to step into the light, the Bible can show you the way. Just as with everything else in the world, we see the Bible not as it is, but as we are. The question is, what are you looking for?

When most people think about the core they imagine the abs – the kind that you can do your laundry on. There is more to the core than just that six-pack, however. The core is made up of everything between the clavicle and the glutes – we call it the Pillar. It links the upper and lower body and forms the foundation of all movement – which is why training the Pillar is so important.
The crunch, and its many variations, is still what many people associate with core training. Planking is a much more effective core exercise that strength-ens your entire body in the process. It's one of the most efficient ways to build strength, endurance and breath control while activating the entire core.
It may look easy, but performing a proper plank requires strong glutes and lats, mobility, joint strength and stability, and efficient breathing. A proper plank requires you to engage the lats, core and glutes while maintaining a neutral spine without twisting. It's actually very difficult to do a plank well.
The plank, along with the squat, are exercises that when done properly with bracing and breath control contribute to maximum training results. Master these fundamental skills and you'll see major improvement in your overall strength – and get better results from your training. These two exercises are key to the foundation levels of the 43°22 training system featured at The Base.
At The Base by RVH we provide a customized training experience for every level, based on the principles of our groundbreaking 43°22 training system. 43°22 bridges the gap between rehab, fitness and performance by building on fundamental athletic skills to deliver better results.
We guarantee that if you commit to a 43°22 program you will reach your goal. All you need to do is show up. Visit rivervalleyhealth.com for more info.

It's Monday folks! You know what that means? It's Chest + Shoulder Workout Day!
Women often give me a little resistance when we focus on this area of the body. You're not going to get "broader" shoulders. It takes more than good nutrition and hard work to get "broad" shoulders. Improving these areas and using heavier weight to get there, can only improve your strength, stability, and looks.
Working your chest and shoulders can give you great aesthetic advantages. For one, gaining muscle in your chest can give you more collar-bone definition, making that sleeveless wedding dress especially pop! Also, gaining muscle in this area can actually make your waist look smaller in comparison. Take these areas seriously and you'll fit in that dress like a glove (or guys: that suit). And if you're like Lacey, my last client who trained for her wedding, you'll (happily) have to pay for adjustments in your dress!
So let's get ready, get pumped, and get sweating for the wedding!
Warm Up
5 minutes on treadmill, elliptical, or jump rope.
- 2x 15-20 Dumbbell Shoulder Press (10 lb.)
- 3x 12-15 Chest Flys
Remember to slightly bend your elbows as you bring your hands together. This should feel like you're bear-hugging a big tree.
- 3x 12-15 Stability Ball Dumbbell Presses
Remember to squeeze the glutes and keep your hips level with your shoulders. Another tip: DON'T lift your feet. Keep them solid on the ground. This will help you keep your balance and focus on your chest.
- 3x 12 Incline Dumbbell Chest Press
- Superset:
- 3 x Max Amount of Push-ups + 12 Dumbbell Front Shoulder Raises
- 3 x 15 Plated Front Shoulder Raises
Cool Down
3 minutes easy on treadmill, elliptical, or bike.
ALWAYS stretch your chest and shoulders after working them out. If they're not stretched, tightness will occur, causing you to hunch over. This could negatively affect your posture for the worse.

This site is all about MOD'S to the Civil War Campaign Series by HPS. We have new icons and coloured General images to replace the Black & White images that came with the games. We have researched our images and used regimental flags as backgrounds for our unit icons and used Army, Corps and Division flags for backgrounds for the Generals. We have also used the General's personal flag when one was used. We have increased the number of Icons that are used in the games for more variation. The Orders of Battle (OOB's) have also been altered to enable them to use the graphics.We hope to offer you the wargamer a better playing experience with a more realistic feel.
We hope to offer scenario's and other Mod's when they become available.
Select from the menu buttons along the top of the page to find what you want.

When I first decided that I wanted to be an advertising major at Texas, I dreamed to be a Texas Creative. The classes sounded so fun, the portfolios were amazing, and every student that made it through P3 had a loaded resume and amazing portfolio to take on job interviews.
Oh, how things can change.
One of our main assignments for the prereq for Texas Creative (Adv 325, Introduction to Creativity) was an "Idea Journal". Needless to say, I did not score to high on it. Apparently my creativity isn't what its supposed to be for a creative.
So this made me think. Instead of being disappointed about it, I examined my options. I thought about myself, and I asked myself if being a creative was really what I wanted to do with my career, and basically my life. The answer to that was no.
I am an internet geek. I am obsessed with any Apple gadget that hits the market… I'm still crossing my fingers I'll have an iPad under the Christmas tree, but that's wishful thinking. I am obsessed with social media. Facebook, Twitter, Foursquare. I want to blog. And I want my blog to be read. I actually look forward to the changes in Facebook, instead of being one of the millions complaining. I've grown up with social media, and social media has grown up with me.
With an advertising degree and a minor in business, I think this could work. It sounds like I could have a future in internet marketing, advertising, and branding. And it would actually be something I have fun with and something I'm interested in. Which is esentially my dream job.
I don't know how I'm going to get this blog read. I don't know how to rack up hundreds of twitter followers. I've been sending out resume after resume hoping to line up some amazing internship. Follow me here. Tell your friends. This is my journey. Oh, the places I will go. Just wait.

This is as meaty and satisfying as any bolognese, but it's completely vegetarian (vegan, if you choose) and very healthy. I made it because I wanted a meat-free bolognese that was still rich and hearty. Crimini mushrooms of different textures was the trick.

(Five Minute Friday)
And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, 18 may have power, together with all the Lord's holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deepis the love of Christ… Ephesians 3:17b-18
I have to wonder if God is trying to tell me something, because for the second FMF in a row He's brought the exact same verse to mind. But I digress….
I'm walking along with my baby girl in the gravel lot of a flea market in rural East Tennessee, holding her tiny hand securely in mine. It's a beautiful day and she's having a wonderful time trying out her new skill: walking. I love my baby girl to the depths of my being and I love holding her hand – it reassures me that she is close by, helps me to keep her upright and enables me to pull her back up if she happens to fall. I think it reassures her for the exact same reasons. With terrible suddenness, her hand is ripped from my grasp and I see her carried off by a man running ahead of me. In an instant my world is turned upside down and my mind is racing, at least the part of it that's not numb with shock and horror. I don't think I can accurately describe the thoughts that were skittering around in my brain as I faced what must surely be every parent's nightmare. She was there – and then all of a sudden she wasn't. My hand was empty.
In this case, what appeared to be a child abduction turned out to be one person's sadly mistaken idea of a joke, and the person running away with my daughter was someone we knew. It was, in fact, my husband at the time. (The fact that he would find this funny might shed some light on why he is no longer my husband)
How thankful I am, then, that there is NOTHING, NOTHING that can rip our hand from God's grasp!
And….I'm out of time. 🙂

When Pantone speaks, everyone listens! Pantone is the world-renowned authority on color. From designers to manufacturers to retailers to customers, Pantone is the one everyone looks to for color trends. And with that being said, the new color for 2013 is "EMERALD" aka #17-5641.
"2013 is all about a vivid, verdant shade of green that enhances our sense of well-being further by inspiring insight, as well as promoting balance and harmony," said Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute.
Although there are many other exciting hues in the color spectrum this season like African Violet, Monaco Blue and Lemon Zest, the newly crowned green is said to focus our energies on growth renewal and prosperity.
I could definitely use a huge dose of renewal and prosperity. Therefore, I will be searching for items in this color not only for myself, but for my customers at Roadkill Ranch & Boutique as well.
Go green!
