One thing, the "theme setting" button doesn't go to the settings of the live theme here, but instead it goes to an older theme that was published earlier :)
If you've changed theme after the tool was loaded that's quite possible. Did you? I'll look at fixing that if that's the case.
FYI, current theme is always found at that URL:
Good point. Harold's comment unintentionally showed me another minor issue (with bulk asset upload) so I've fixed that and added your simplification for the button. Pushing a new version now.
Added a quick 'show items ordered' popup for the Orders page:
(currently only supports the first page of orders shown)
Test version of a Chrome extension now in Chrome store.
A minor update is being pushed that adds a helper tool for setting collections and product handles as metafield values. It's not optimized (at all) so consider it a very basic implementation. Click on the toggle advanced features and you'll get two buttons. Clicking either of those will generate a drop down menu full of collections of products ready to set the metafield value field.

Not from my mouth
That "Single Bullet Theory" thing makes perfect sense to me.
A-Rod never used performance enhancing drugs.
Congress is really working together and getting stuff done, aren't they?
O.J. Simpson is innocent.
I feel bloated.
.....but it's a DRY heat.
I just won the lottery, let's go to International House of Pancakes to celebrate.
They recovered all the oil from the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. ( better know as the BP oil spill)
I think of that oil spill every time I am on the boat. Since we travel near where the spill occurred, I often wonder what the sea floor looks like.
BP's record breaking dispersant attack was successful. Out of sight, out of mind. Get that oil off the surface. I guess the problem is solved.
It blows me away that the people who live down here in the Gulf area, never even mention that spill.
That broken oil well puked out over 5 million barrels of crude oil over a 3 month period, before they could stop the flow. Boats and barges and anyone with a run-about ran around the fouled waters of the Gulf with make shift pumps and bags of rags, reclaiming what oil they could. Do we really believe 5 million barrels were recovered?
We do not.
210 million gals spewed out. That's a lot of oil.
To put it in perspective, the barge we tow is so big, it would not fit on a football field. Now, get 20,000 of those barges filled with oil, and over a 3 month period have them discharge the oil into the Gulf. And in a matter of months it's all out of sight? The oil pad clad locals soaked it all up?
An article in "Marine News", an industry publication, reports that the House Natural Resources Committee analyzed data comparing pre-Deepwater and post-Deepwater Horizon accidents, inspections, violations and penalties to see what has changed. The answer is, not much. The staff issued their findings in a report titled,
"Dangerous Drillers: Offshore Safety Lapses Continue Three Years After BP Oil Spill.
That's comforting, huh?
It was determined that the companies that had the most safety lapses before the spill are the same ones not adhearing to the new safety guidlines that were put in place, by the industry themselves.
Remember the moratorium put on drilling in the Gulf after the spill, by President Obama? The Gulf was basically shut down. The thousands of boats that supply the oil wells on a daily basis were tied up at the dock. Crews were laid off, companies went under. The company I work for was affected in a big way and many people lost their jobs. All because, supposedly, our government was going to set up new rules, strict safety guidelines before any drilling was allowed to continue. Well, the report states that as of now, Congress has failed to act on recommendations to strengthen regulatory enforcement and raise penalties for violations of drilling safety standards.
Like I said. Something I don't think you'll hear me saying any time soon is,
"Congress is really working together and getting stuff done, aren't they?"

Amazing, what's swept under the rug, isn't it? :-(
My husband and I can't stand looking at A-Rod's face anymore, honestly he is so darn smug.. and now he's thrown a few of his teammates under the bus as well.

I'd imagine a non-trivial amount of the '210' has found it's way to the ocean floor, doing who know what.
The irony of professional sports. I think Miguel Tejada's suspension is interesting. He had an exemption to take Aderall, but the exemption expired. Sounds like shooting dead fish in a barrel to me.

Amen to that! I don't like it about myself, but I don't want to look anymore at Congress and the Senate and see what they aren't getting done.

These are my lecture notes from CMSC 651: Design and Analysis of Algorithms}, a one semester course that I taught at University of Maryland in the Spring of 1993. The course covers core material in algorithm design, and also helps students prepare for research in the field of algorithms. The reader will find an unusual emphasis on graph theoretic algorithms, and for that I am to blame. The choice of topics was mine, and is biased by my personal taste. The material for the first few weeks was taken primarily from the (now not so new) textbook on Algorithms by Cormen, Leiserson and Rivest. A few papers were also covered, that I personally feel give some very important and useful techniques that should be in the toolbox of every algorithms researcher. (Also cross-referenced as UMIACS-TR-93-72)

RICHMOND, Ind. - Scoring runs and scoring droughts mark the 57-53 loss of Earlham women's basketball to the Mount St. Joseph Lions.
Right before the half, Earlham went scoreless for four minutes allowing the Lions to go on a 12-2 run and make four straight threes to give the Mount a six point advantage.
Earlham found shots but just couldn't knock them down. The Quakers shot 36.4 from field-goal range and only 15 percent from three.
To start the second half Earlhams six turnovers in the third quarter gave Lions the ability to extend their lead to 12. Eventually the Quakers would get into rhythm defensively and close that lead swiftly.
Earlham began to disrupt the Mount's flow while in transition leading to a four-minute scoring drought for the Lions. In those four minutes Earlham went on a run going 5-5, kicked off by
Earlham's Zoe Curtis continued her three-game streak of making a difference offensively. Curtis ended the night the leading scorer with 17 points and also pulled down a team-leading seven rebounds. Camryn White followed behind Curtis in scoring with 14 points while Acacia Tenette tied Curtis for the most rebounds(7).
Women's basketball will head down to the Sunshine State for the Cruzin Classic Tournament next week. Their first game will be on December 19th vs. Washington and Jefferson at 8:00pm

There is a lot of talk about storage being the next breakthrough in energy. My fellow undergrad alumni and now PhD candidate Betar Gallant believes the Electrochemical Energy Lab (http://web.mit.edu/eel/) may have two unique solutions. Under Professor Yang Shao-Horn of Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science and Engineering, the lab is furthering the efficiency of lithium air batteries. They are also working to develop high-power and high-energy-density carbon nanotube electrodes using a layer-by-layer assembly process in collaboration with MIT Professor Paula Hammond of Chemical Engineering.
Lithium Air
Many believe that lithium air batteries could be the successor to current lithium ion batteries, and while there has been great progress, major obstacles still remain. The lab's main priority is to find and test catalysts that can increase the round-trip efficiencies of lithium air batteries, which are determined by the gap between the discharging and charging voltages. Through design of a Au-Pt catalyst, the team, led by Graduate Student Yi-Chun Lu, recently successfully increased the efficiency to 73% (the record so far), but efficiencies greater than 90% are necessary for commercial viability. The lab is currently focusing on fundamental characterization of catalysts to identify the best candidates and on using this knowledge to design new catalysts that can enable high efficiency and good cycle ability, all at reasonably low cost. Meanwhile, Li-air batteries currently have short cycle lives, largely related to repeated dissolution and re-deposition of lithium at the lithium anode, which roughens and degrades the metal surface. This degradation is a major obstacle for the technology that remains to be addressed.
There is a performance gap between commercially available electrochemical capacitors and existing batteries; the former have high power density, while the latter have high energy density. Betar and her colleague Dr. Seung Woo Lee believe the sweet spot will be found in between these two and that layer-by-layer technology could be the solution.
Layer-by-layer is a process that utilizes the attraction between positively and negatively charged "building blocks" – in this case, carbon nanotubes — to create self-assembled thin film electrodes with highly tunable properties. The result is a porous, ultrathin material that can bond to a wide range of surfaces – think everything from smart cards to computer circuits – and has a high energy density compared to conventional electrochemical capacitors owing to the special properties of the charged surfaces. As micro devices like Kindles and Ipads become slimmer, they need powerful thin film batteries, and layer-by-layer could be the technology used to power these types of electronics in the future.
Looking to the Future
Five years ago, MIT President Susan Hockfield announced the MIT Energy initiative, which would utilize the resources from all five schools to develop ways to meet future energy demands.

Our story
How YWAM Frontier Missions Began…
In the mid 1980s, a number of leaders in Youth With A Mission (YWAM) began to feel burdened for the thousands of ethnic people groups around the world that still had no viable Christian expression in their midst. The words of the Apostle Paul rang true: "It has always been my ambition to preach the gospel where Christ was not known…" (Romans 15:20 NIV). Thus began a movement within YWAM to focus on unreached people groups — to mobilize, equip, send out, and care for pioneer workers who would go beyond the current boundaries or frontiers of God's Kingdom on earth.Read more about how our story began

Eggplant's complex, savory flavor is infused with smoke in these mouthwatering grilled vegetable sandwiches. Garlic chile mayo gives the aubergine base a kick, topped with fresh tomatoes, grilled onions and fresh basil. This recipe comes to us from Patricia of Grab A Plate.
Serves 4
- 1 small eggplant, sliced into 4 rounds, 1/2 inch thick
- 2 teaspoons salt, divided
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 large white onion, sliced into 4 rounds, 1/4 inch thick
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, divded
- 4 slices crusty bread
- 4 tablespoons lowfat mayonnaise
- 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic chile paste*
- 1 large tomato, sliced into 4 rounds, 1/4 inch thick
- 1 1/2 teaspoons fresh basil, chiffonade
*Garlic chile paste can be found in the condiment or Asian food section of most grocery stores. Your favorite hot sauce mixed with a mashed garlic clove can be substituted as a makeshift garlic chile paste.
Heat a grill to medium.
Lay the eggplant slices on paper towels and sprinkle with 1 of the teaspoons of salt. Let sit for 30 minutes, rinse and pat dry. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and season with the remaining teaspoon of the salt and the pepper. Transfer the eggplant slices to the grill and cook, turning frequently, for about 15 minutes, or until soft.
While the eggplant begins grilling, pierce the large onion slices lengthwise with metal skewers. Drizzle another tablespoon olive oil over the onions. Add the onions to the grill about 7 minutes after you put the eggplant on. Cook the onions for 4 minutes, flip and cook 4 minutes more, or until they achieve grill marks.
When the eggplant and onion have finished cooking, remove them from the grill flame. Transfer the crusty slices of bread to the grill and cook for about 2 minutes per side, or until the bread has toasted.
Mix the mayonnaise and garlic chile paste together in a small bowl. Spread about 1 tablespoon per burger on each slice of bread and top with a piece of grilled eggplant. Top the eggplant with tomato, followed by grilled onion. Sprinkle with sliced basil and enjoy.

I found an overflow situation in php5.3.10.
Probably it's not 'something new', but if I can understand this, it will help me to find this kind of bug faster in the future.
What can I do to check how/what/where the exploitation occurs?
Steps I've already done are:
- I've got php5.3.10 on virtual machine installed
- I run code.php (and here is the sigsegv-situation)
- I can do 'bt', or 'where' in gdb /usr/bin/php5

Moresplashhits is back

It's been a while for moresplashhits, but the Giants'
postseason run has compelled us to start posting again. Call it therapeutic.
GAME 3 VICTORY: Sunday's 3-2 win over the Braves was the
first for the Giants in a Game 3 of a Division Series. The Giants entered the
game 0-4 in Game 3s – vs. Marlins 1997 (completing sweep); vs. Mets 2000 (Benny Agbayani); vs. Braves in
2002; and vs. Marlins in 2003 (Jose Cruz Jr. drops fly ball). In fact, in all
of the above series, the Giants also lost Game 2. Oh, and in Game 4? The Giants
are 1-2.
BUM ON THE BUMP: Madison Bumgarner takes the mound Monday in
Game 4. While Sunday's win was a big win, winning Monday also is important.
While Sunday's win ensured that the Giants will at the very least return to San
Francisco on Wednesday, winning Game 4 is important to set up the rotation for
the NLCS. The Phillies have clinched and now can set up their NLCS rotation. If
Lincecum has to pitch in Game 5, it means he wouldn't likely be available to
pitch in the NLCS until Game 3 if the Giants advance.
The Braves will counter with Derek Lowe in Game 4 on short
rest. Bumgarner pitched better on the road than at home this season, going 6-3
with a 1.91 ERA on the road.
WHAT'S UP WITH SERG? In the first three games In the series,
Giants starting pitchers have allowed 1 earned run (Sanchez was charged with
one of the runs that scored on Eric Hinske's two-run homer Sunday). Sergio Romo
has made two appearances in the series and given up two singles and a home run
in 2/3 of inning. Romo has been a solid setup man for Brian Wilson all season,
but has faltered so far in this series.
It just goes to show how the difference between success and
failure is razor-thin. Romo got ahead of Hinske. Hinske was way out in front on
a couple of pitches, and it looked like Hinske might just ground weakly into
into inning-ending double play. Instead, Hinske kept fouling off pitches, which
enabled him to get a mistake from Romo and hit the home run.
Romo did get out of the rest inning with no trouble, so
there shouldn't be any reason not to go to him again if the situation calls for
Another solid outing for Bumgarner
More Splash Hits spent the afternoon watching Giants pitching prospect Madison Bumgarner toss another solid outing in the Fresno Grizzlies' 4-2 win over the Portland Beavers in Portland.
Also Sunday, we learned something new about Bumgarner: He's got opposite-field power.
Bumgarner (1-1) gave up one run on four hits and three walks in five innings of work, earning the victory. He struck out three. Bumgarner also hit an opposite-field home run to right field off the Beavers' Josh Geer in the third inning.
Bumgarner was lifted for a pinch-hitter in the top of the sixth after throwing 99 pitches.
The first two batters to single off Bumgarner on Sunday were erased when the left-hander picked them both off first base — Luis Durango in the first and Craig Stansberry in the second.
The third hit Bumgarner allowed was debatable. In the third, Sean Kazmar hit a chopper over the bag at third. Fresno's Brad Boyer made a nice play to field the ball, but his throw was low and first basemen Brett Pill could corral the ball. It was ruled a hit. I might have scored it otherwise, but no one asked.
The lone run came in the fifth, when Chris Stewart drew a leadoff walk, was sacrificed to second and scored on Durango's single to center.
Bumgarner had some difficulty locating his off-speed pitches, leading to some deep counts. Also, the Beaver hitters did a good job of fouling off two-strike pitches to prolong some at-bats and make Bumgarner work harder. Still, his fastball was consistently in the low 90s all afternoon, topping out several times at 93 mph on the stadium radar.
The Grizzlies belted three home runs: Bumgarner, Pill and Mike McBryde.
Catcher Buster Posey was 1 for 4 with a walk and two strikeouts.
Giants fans need some good news; so here it is
Amid the Giants offensive slump — three runs in three games — I thought it would be a good time to share some good news.
Madison Bumgarner had his first solid outing of 2010 on Monday night.
The left-hander gave up one earned run over six innings of work in a 3-2 win over the Portland Beavers. He struck out three and walked one. He also gave up an unearned run — unearned because he committed an error on a pickoff throw to first.
The error led to the unearned run. The earned run came on a home run. His fastball was clocked as high as 94 mph on the stadium gun.
"I felt like I pitched a lot better," said Bumgarner, who came into the game with an ERA over 14.00. "Even last time out felt better, but this was my best start of the spring or the season so far."
But Bumgarner didn't get the win, because like the big-league counterparts, the Fresno hitters didn't score enough runs for him.
So if he ever gets back to San Francisco, Bumgarner will fit right in with the rest of the Giant pitchers
Down on the farm in Fresno
Madison Bombgarner, er, we mean, Bumgarner, had another rough outing for the Fresno Grizzlies on Wednesday.
Odds 'n ends: Baumgarner sent down
The Giants' 2010 roster began to take better shape on Tuesday, when the team optioned pitchers Madison Baumgarner and Joe Martinez to Triple-A Fresno.
The Giants made the decision Tuesday to take pressure off their young left-hander after became clear that he was not ready to take over the No. 5 spot in the rotation. Now he can go to Fresno and focus on getting ready to pitch for the season.
Bumgarner lost control and some velocity this spring. And his struggles this spring were in part due to him trying to work on his mechanics.
The Giants, and Bumgarner, hope his velocity returns in Fresno.
Martinez also was sent down to Triple-A camp. Elbow inflammation had kept Martinez off the mound most of this month. And although he reported no problems in recent bullpen sessions, the time lost clearly put him behind others in his preparation for the season. And with other pitchers doing so well, it was an easy decision to send Martinez down
FRANDSEN, LEWIS OUT? Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle reported Tuesday that the Giants have been shopping infielder Kevin Frandsen and outfielder Fred Lewis this spring.
The indication is that neither player fits in the Giants' regular-season plans, as the Giants appear to prefer Matt Downs as their backup infielder and Andres Torres and Eugenio Velez in the outfield.
Frandsen still has a minor-league option. But the Giants might look for a fresh start for him.
Lewis, on the other hand, is out of options. And if they can't find a trade partner, the Giants also may be out of options with Lewis.
Odds 'n ends: Bumgarner improving
It's looking more and more like Madison Bumgarner will open the season at Triple-A Fresno, the 20-year-old left-hander said he was encouraged by his outing Saturday against the Angels' Triple-A players.
Bumgarner said he regained some velocity in Saturday's outing.
"I threw a lot of low strikes and felt like the ball was jumping a lot better," Bumgarner told the San Jose Mercury News. "It was a big difference."
Bumgarner had been causing some Giants faithful concern with his pitches clocking in the 88 mph range. Last spring, he had been hitting up around 94 mph. There were no radar gun readings from Saturday's outing, but catcher Steve Holm claimed Bumgarner's pitches were clearly in the 90s Saturday.
The results from Saturday's game were not great. Bumgarner gave up five runs (four earned) on four hits and a walk in four innings. He also notched his first two strikeouts of the spring.
But Holm must of the hits Bumgarner allowed came on his change-up, a pitch the Giants coaches have been pushing Bumgarner to throw more of this spring.
KIM CUT: The Giants granted a release to relief pitcher Byung-Hyun Kim, a long, longshot of making the club.
PANDA CUT … IN A DIFFERENT WAY: Pablo Sandoval left Friday's game after getting spiked by Indians catcher Lou Marson when Sandoval slid at home.
Sandoval received five stitches to close the cut. He should be back in the lineup Monday or Tuesday.
30 CLUBS IN 30 DAYS: The Giants edition of "30 Clubs in 30 Days" airs at 7 p.m. PDT Sunday on the MLB Network.
Wellemeyer will compete for job
As players began to report to Arizona for spring training, Giants manager Bruce Bochy indicated Tuesday that non-roster invitee Todd Wellemeyer will be allowed with 20-year-old Madison Bumgarner and others for the team's No. 5 rotation spot.
"It makes it more competitive when you sign a guy like Wellemeyer, I
think it's fair to say. There are no givens here," Bochy told the Associated Press. "We think
a lot of Madison, but you always want depth. It is always good to have
Hmmm, perhaps Bochy was reading posts on moresplashhits.

2013 was a very mixed year of reading for me, and it's my own damned fault. Because it's the 50th anniversary of Doctor Who, I promised myself that I would try and read a novel and a novella based on each incarnation of the Time Lord every month. I made it, but there was pain. The BBC released an original novella each month, which I duly downloaded, and they were mostly 'all right'. They also re-released some original novels, one per incarnation, and they ranged from dreadful to mediocre. Off the top of my head, there's not a novel among them that would please anybody who isn't a fan of the show anyway, and for the most part they barely function as novels at all. They turned 2013 into a weird endurance marathon.
I've read 67 books so far this year, and there will be a couple more before the bells chime. I'll post the full list nearer then, but to save you scrolling through for the good stuff here are the five books that I most enjoyed. I recommend every one of them wholeheartedly – they're all amazing reads – and would love to know what you think if you give them a try.
The Ocean at the End of the Lane, Neil Gaiman – In which Neil Gaiman takes half-memories and locations from his youth, and weaves them into a dream-like fable about memory and childhood. The power of this novel is that somehow I was reading about my own childhood too, in detail, even though none of these things or anything like them ever happened to me. The prose is simple and poetic, the unnamed narrator's life one that swallowed me completely, and the intimate threats that begin with the suicide of a lodger and end with a life spent regrowing a heart are intensely affecting. As others have pointed out, the dreamlike fantasies that weave through the story share much in tone with Gaiman's young adult work such as Coraline or The Graveyard Book, but there are some horrifying and traumatic moments of far more realistic threat there too, made all the more powerful for the dark fairy tale that surrounds them. What really makes this a book 'for adults' though is the reflection on memory and nostalgia brought to the tale by its framing narrative of a man revisiting his boyhood home in adulthood. This is a beautiful, sophisticated novel, that will live in you far longer than you live in it.
Joyland, Stephen King – There's a little bit of ghost story in Joyland, and a little bit of murder mystery. However, it is between these two tent poles that most of King's beautiful little tale about growing up and looking back, about learning how to fall in and out of love with life, really plays. Those who keep coming back to the author's books may find some of this over-familiar, but the tale is told with such easy heart that in its own right there is almost nothing here to fault. King may have explored this theme a few times already, but that's done nothing but improve his expertise in finding the things that resonate the strongest. Here is one of his most powerful recurring motifs, beautifully distilled to the bits that make it work. It thrilled me here and there, left me grinning with joy through one extended sequence of hope, and then made me shed a tear by the final page. Lovely.
The Sunne in Splendour, Sharon Kay Penman – A vast tome with a staggering cast of characters? Family dynasties at war? Politics, sex, battles, and a decades long conflict for the right to sit the throne? Nope, this isn't Game of Thrones, but it reads an awful lot like it. This isn't surprising really – Martin's fantasy epic is heavily inspired by the historical War of the Roses, and this novel covers those events.
And it's brilliantly engrossing. The novel covers the final thirty years of the war, effectively following Richard III from childhood to death (I think, in this instance, that spoiler is permitted – Richard Dies At The End). It's well researched, although the details of Richard's final year remain controversial, and incredibly immersive. What's lovely is the way it sprawls while never losing sight of the lives that populate it. The characterisation is enthralling, and is the driver of the book. Penman sells these characters beautifully, particularly the central conflicts between the brothers Edward, Richard, and George. The novel sparks so well between these three that it inevitably flattens as destiny catches them up and removes them one by one, but by then there's only the one sad step towards doom and the novel's closure. A brilliant read, and one of those books to lose yourself in for weeks.
Eat and Run, Scott Jurek – A remarkably humble account from Scott Jurek of his life and achievements. It's not falsely modest – Jurek has been a legend in ultramarathoning for a long time, for very good reason – but nor is it driven by a need to sell his achievements to the wider world. What interested me most through Jurek's story is his increasing need to pursue something that is only offered to him at those points where mind and body are at their weakest, a sort of peace and transcendence found in extremity. By the end of the book this moment remains a nebulous thing, hard for the author to describe but no less alluring. Perhaps it's something so defined by the moments in which it is fleetingly experienced that it remains hard to express to others. Regardless, this is an inspiring and surprisingly relatable tale. It's guaranteed to appeal to those who were caught up in Born To Run, and if you enjoy distance running at all you'll get all the more out of it for seeing what you love taken to its ultimate extreme.
Whitstable, Stephen Volk – It's often said that good horror is allegorical, taking real world terrors and recasting them in fantasies that can be safely explored and processed. In this utterly compelling novella, Stephen Volk inverts the idiom at the same time as he illuminates it.
The story stars Peter Cushing, the quiet man of horror and an icon who exuded decency on screen and in real life. It is shortly after the death of his wife Helen, and Cushing is a shattered shadow of himself, hiding away in his home in the seaside town of Whitstable. While out walking, trying to escape the world, he is approached by a young boy who is certain he has found fictional vampire hunter Van Helsing. There is a monster he wishes this hero to tackle. One that comes into his room at night, to suck the life out of him. We're not in the colourful world of Hammer Horror movies though, and this monster is all too troubling and real. Cushing isn't Van Helsing either – he's a tired old man, but one who even in his desolation has too much humanity not to intervene. Thus begins a tense battle of wits between the painfully Cushing and a predator. It's a subtle dance, in some ways a grubby, tiny one, but Volk does an extraordinary job of playing it off against the ghost of the characters Cushing has inhabited.
The portrait of the actor is a loving one, and the telling of this tale is deft and extraordinary. While it plays on a tiny stage, it ultimately feels every bit as epic as Cushing's screen roles. It sets the best and worst of humanity at odds and lets them battle, not in vast allegory but in painstaking reality. It's oppressive and terrifying in places, and entirely celebratory in others. Published to mark what would have been the actor's hundredth birthday, the book weaves fantasy and reality together in a way that manages to celebrate both the man and his work in the body of what would be an extraordinary story even without Cushing as a central character.
This is the best of horror fiction, and if you go away and hunt out only one book from this list you should make it Whitstable.
Bubbling Under – Chiral Mad, Horns, Cabal, Of The City Of The Saved
There you have it. The very best of what I read in 2013, according to me. If you're curious about the books that have pleased me most for the last six years, you're also welcome to check out 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2012.

The girls at work threw a shower for me and baby girl my last day...and we thought her room was pink before. There are so many cute things in her closet now, I love to go and look. She is going to be one spoiled girl. Thanks so much to everyone who was there. It was so much fun. I really miss hanging out with all my girls, and even the working part of work a little...although sleeping in till 9 am is pretty great. I guess I'd better now while I have a chance.

More Snow!
Last night we had the biggest storm ever since people started living on Traverse Mountian. There was only about 4 or 5 inches of snow, but wind and ice made it mean. The road coming in and out of the subdivision and I-15 was closed so poor Jeff couldn't get home and had to spend the night in a holiday inn on the other side of the point. And poor me all alone with the power out. People were stuck on the freeway for hours and slept in their cars on the side of the road so I guess we were both lucky to be inside. Toby and I are enjoying being house bound today. This is a picture of the backyard this morning. You can see how ice is still stuck to the side of the door and everything.

Chillin' Chilly
We have so much snow! The news said something like 22 inches fell up here between Saturday and Sunday. Looking at our house Sunday morning we couldn't belive how much there was. Church was even cancelled. Toby was stuck in Heber for a few days becuase the canyon was closed and I couldn't go pick him up after our trip. The snow can be inconvenient, but it sure is beautiful. I love the snow! I love to take Toby running through the snow, especially when it is so high he disappears. I love to be the first one to walk through deep, undisturbed snow. I even love to shovel the snow, though Jeff won't let me shovel much as pregnant as I am. What a great winter!
Jeff and I headed to St. George for the weekend to get some sun. It wasn't hot, but there wasn't any snow, which was a nice change. We stayed at a condo with this cute patio and a great view (see above). I guess the groundhog saw his shadow while we were away, so six more weeks until Lehi looks a little more like this.

LONDON — Osama bin Laden lived unmolested in Pakistan for almost a decade because of the "collective incompetence and negligence" of the country's security forces, according to a scathing Pakistani government report that was leaked to the news media on Monday.
The four-member Abbottabad Commission, led by a Supreme Court judge, interviewed 201 people, including the country's intelligence leaders, in an effort to piece together the events around the American raid on May 2, 2011, that killed Bin Laden, the leader of Al Qaeda, and embarrassed the Pakistani government.
But although the commission's report was completed six months ago, the Pakistani authorities suppressed it, and the first leaked copy was made public by Al Jazeera on Monday.
The broadcaster published the 336-page report on its Web site, while acknowledging that there was one omission — a page of testimony from a Pakistani spy chief that appeared to describe elements of Pakistan's security cooperation with the United States.
Hours later, Pakistan's telecom regulator blocked access to Al Jazeera's Web site inside Pakistan.
In some ways, the commission hewed to expectations. In its findings, it leaned toward incompetence rather than conspiracy in explaining Pakistan's failure to catch Bin Laden after he arrived in the country in mid-2002, having fled the American assault at Tora Bora in Afghanistan.
But in other ways, the report was a surprise. It contained flashes of visceral skepticism about the testimony of key government officials, noted that key questions remained unanswered, and allowed for the possibility that some security officials had covertly helped Bin Laden.
"Connivance, collaboration and cooperation at some levels cannot be entirely discounted," it said.
The report offered tantalizing new details about life on the run for Bin Laden, as he shifted among six addresses in Pakistan from 2002 to 2011, when his American pursuers finally caught up with him. At times the Qaeda leader is said to have shaved his beard and worn a cowboy hat to avoid detection by Pakistani or American forces.
Once, a vehicle he was riding in was stopped for speeding, but the police officer failed to recognize him and let him go.
The report also took Pakistani officials to task for failing to shut down Central Intelligence Agency operations in the country, and variously portrayed American actions as illegal or immoral. It said the C.I.A. had used mainstream aid agencies as cover to spy on the Qaeda leader, employed "hired thugs" and grossly deceived its allies in the Pakistani government.
"The U.S. acted like a criminal thug," the report said.
For all its untempered language and institutional constraints, the report offered the most comprehensive official account yet of Bin Laden's time on the run in Pakistan and the American Navy SEALs raid that took his life.
The four-member commission was comprised of Justice Javed Iqbal of the Supreme Court, a retired police officer, a retired diplomat and a retired army general. It first met in July 2011, two months after the American raid, and has held 52 hearings and conducted seven field visits.
American officials did not cooperate with the commission, and on Monday, Jen Psaki, a State Department spokeswoman, declined to comment on the report. One senior American official who follows Pakistan said he had not yet read a copy of the commission's voluminous report, but he said that from summaries he had seen, the document appeared to offer "the Pakistan people some accounting of how Bin Laden came to end up where he did."
In many places, the Pakistani report seems to seethe with frustration at the failures of Pakistani officials to find Bin Laden before the Americans could get to him.
It highlighted inept border officials who allowed one of his wives to pass into Iran, inept municipal officials who failed to spot the unusual construction at his house, intelligence officials who hoarded information, and senior police officials who it deemed guilty of a "grave dereliction of duty."
The commission interviewed military officials who failed to detect American aircraft entering Pakistani airspace, and it noted that on the night of May 2, the first Pakistani fighter jets were scrambled 24 minutes after the Americans had left Pakistan with Bin Laden's body on board.
"The extent of incompetence, to put it mildly, was astounding, if not unbelievable," the report said.
The report noted that the military's powerful Inter-Service Intelligence directorate "completely failed to track down OBL" and contained detailed testimony from Lt. Gen. Ahmed Shuja Pasha, then head of the spy agency.
The commission highlighted how the I.S.I. operates largely outside civilian control. General Pasha, in turn, retorted that the C.I.A. shared only disjointed intelligence about Bin Laden after 2001. The report noted that the Americans provided false information about Bin Laden's presence in four cities — Sargodha, Lahore, Sialkot and Gilgit — before alighting on Abbottabad.
"American arrogance knows no limits," General Pasha was cited as saying, as well as that Pakistan was "a failing state, even if we are not yet a failed state."The missing page of testimony from the leaked version published by Al Jazeera related to General Pasha's testimony. Al Jazeera noted on its Web site that, judging from the context, the missing material appeared to contain a list of seven demands the country's military leader, Gen. Pervez Musharraf, made to the United States after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
Pakistani government officials did not comment on the veracity of the Al Jazeera report.
Also on Monday, The Associated Press reported that the top United States Special Operations commander had ordered military files about the Bin Laden raid to be purged from Defense Department computers and sent to the C.I.A., where they could be more easily shielded from public scrutiny.

The Netherlands will have to slaughter over 500,000 geese over the next few years in an effort to get their numbers under control and stop damage to crops, Trouw reports on Tuesday.
Most of the geese will be gassed, as currently happens around Amsterdam's Schiphol airport, Trouw says. The paper bases its claims on interim reports from provincial government bodies which signed up to an agreement on combating the geese nuisance two years ago.
Bird protection group Vogelbescherming, one of the signatories to the 2011 agreement, said then it expected 100,000 geese would need to be killed.
The plan now states that the total population of some 200,000 ordinary, Nile and Canada geese need to 'be systematically removed', Trouw states. In addition, 350,000 geese which used to migrate but now remain in the Netherlands will be killed, so that 'just' 150,000 are left.
According to Trouw, the nature organisations which signed up for the agreement have said they will not launch any protests, so that the mass cull can begin in 2014, once EU approval has been won for the mass gassing.

Thank you for all the nice comments on my last two furniture pieces. I haven't had a ton of time to visit those of you who stopped by and commented, but I hope to soon!
I grew up as the daughter of an artist.
There was always paint, canvases, light tables, artist markers, and creative things around.
There are certain smells and sounds that are very nostalgic to me.
When I was deciding on my college choices in the early '90's, I knew I wanted to be an artist too.
I decided I would major in Fine Arts...although it was a little daunting.
I loved painting, but Fine Arts sometimes felt kind of.... heavy.
Not me.
Fast forward 22 years later- as I sit on the cold cement floor of my garage, paint brush in hand, and a piece of furniture waiting for a new look, I know that this is the canvas I was meant to work on!
....I feel like an artist, in the medium I was supposed to use.
I've always struggled with what to call my "job".
I keep going back to Furniture Artist.
Still needs a little tweaking, but it fits for now.
{Maybe a golden brown}
I'm not sure it's too far off of Antique White, but it amounted to about 1/2 can of Antique White, 2 test pots of Country Grey, and 2 big globs of Pure White.
It's kind of a creamy putty color.
Then, laying graphite paper under the paper stencil, I traced the image which left the imprint on the tray top.
For the cross, I used an acrylic artist's paint, Liquitex, in their deep red.
Once everything was dry, a little light sanding with my sanding sponge, all around the edges of the table as well as the red cross.
Clear and dark wax- I like that the dark wax adds some extra character.
I wish it fit in our bathroom!
It's such a versatile size, I'm sure you could use it in a variety of places around the house.
Tomorrow I have another piece to show you- it's a bit different than the pieces I normally makeover....but it is also one of my all time favorites!
See you then!

Shares in Scotgold Resources Ltd (LON:SGZ) ticked up to around 27p in late October after the relevant planning authorities issued a favourable decision notice that allows Scotgold to proceed with construction at the Cononish mine in Scotland.
The company has had funding in place since mid-May.
"It's very good news," says Richard Gray, the company's chief executive.
WATCH: ScotGold Resources acquires final tranche of funding for Cononish mine
"I come from an operational background, and I joined Scotgold with a view to getting things up and running. We can now focus on the road ahead."
The funding for Cononish comes in a familiar form: a standard split between equity and debt. The £4mln equity component was raised in an oversubscribed placing to private equity and high net worths.
The debt comes in the form of a secured loan facility with Nat le Roux, Scotgold's chairman and largest shareholder. He has consistently backed the company ever since he became involved, and his support has allowed Scotgold to negotiate a tough financing environment in which Cononish has been deemed too small for major institutions to be interested in, but too big to go it completely alone.
There will now be a short period in which Scotgold endeavours to meet the conditions laid out in the decision notice.
"We need to complete our legal agreements with the Parks Authority," says Gray.
Once the development timetable proper kicks in, there will be a three month period to allow for the sourcing of suppliers and to finalise contracts, and then construction will begin with the mining being the priority.
Just under a year to get into production
The first item on the agenda will be a widening of the existing adit. Thereafter, Scotgold will work on developing the first ramp and installing the ventilation systems before moving on to first stoping.
While that's all going on, the new plant will be coming in, and installation will get underway.
All told, says Gray, it should take the company just under a year to get into production. During the first phase of production, Scotgold expects to process around 3,000 tonnes of ore per month. The cash generated from that mining activity will then be fed back into the project and allow for an expansion to 6,000 tonnes per month.
All told, according to a feasibility study produced last year, Cononish is likely to generate between £67mln and £100mln in earnings over the life of the mine. The pre-tax net present value was put at £43mln, using a 10% discount rate.
Those numbers were predicated on a US$1,150 gold price, or around £920 per ounce, so there's still plenty of room for manoeuvre in spite of gold's recent decline against the dollar.
"We have a very low cost per ounce of production," says Gray.
One reason for that is the high grades at Cononish. The resource may be small at 555,000 tonnes, but with the gold running at 11.1 grams per tonne gold, it's likely to be highly profitable to mine.
There's also the premium for Scottish gold to consider. That's hard to quantify, but Gray is convinced it will be beneficial.
"Whatever the spot price is I'm convinced we'll achieve a premium from this gold," he says.
There's still some work to be done yet, though.
Grampian projects and exploration
"The job isn't done when the money's raised," continues Gray. "The job's done when the gold's coming out of the ground."
But what's he got planned between now and then to keep investor interested focussed firmly on the company during what's likely to be a period of relatively sparse newsflow?
"We'll be looking at our Grampian projects and exploration," he says.
"In addition to Cononish, some of the money that we raised will be used to build up our exploration team. It would be wonderful if we could identify another project the size of the Dalradian one."
The Dalradian project, across the Irish sea but on the same geological trend, is the largest gold mining project in the British Isles. And if that seems a tad ambitious, in due course there will also be exploration in and around Cononish.
At the moment, the mine life there is set at ten years. But with a bit of work, it could conceivably go higher.
"Once we're a couple of years into it I can see Cononish having its own little exploration programme," says Gray.

I never claimed to always use words gud.
Anyway, this week was good. It started out hectic but we hired a third person at work and that helped so much with catching up and having less to worry about in production. I'm sure when things get crazy we will really appreciate the third pair of hands around the shop!
In other news, I've had some time to play games. Been playing Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. A really great addition to the franchise. I had a few late nights playing Rimworld. It's still in alpha, but it has only gotten more fun to play! And last, but not least, I finally installed Undertale. I know all the twists and turns but it's still fun to go through it myself. I wanted to see how hard the battles were. I need a controller to play the game properly. I needed the stress relief during the crazy time last week.
My brother-in-law asked if I could design a website. I told him the truth that I can do very basic sites, and since I have a Creative Cloud subscription I have Dreamweaver. I spent a few hours, too many hours, learning a little coding as I stumbled through the very most basic steps of a website. It's not great, but it's got all of the requested information on it! I think I learned enough to start over with a more clean CSS file and way cleaner coding. It really helps that Dreamweaver now has a fiction where you can look up what code does by right-clicking on it. A great addition to the program so you don't need a ridiculous coding bible door-stop. Then again I shouldn't talk since I own both The Art and Artefacts of Zelda and The Illusion of Life (the long and thick tome that describes the art and magic of Disney animation – and that's totally a pun).
Take it easy and remember to smile!

Furniture is too damn highMay 18th, 2015 at 03:37 am
If I ever end up in hell, my eternal punishment will be moving house from one side of hell to the other. Through congested traffic so every drive takes 3 times longer. And then I get a flat tire when I have moved all my tools to the other house.
To furnish the house with everything we were missing, moving back and forth the 1 hr drive each way and takeout food for the week because no way I was cooking, came to *shudder* $6412.13.
I never knew beds could be so expensive. Then you have to mattresses on them? I wasn't born yesterday snake oil salesmen.
To say I feel dirty is an understatement. I knew this was coming for months but I still wasn't prepared for it deep down inside.
I adjusted my side bar, a bit depressing. The only consolation I can draw from is we are having some phenomenal business across the ledger and we could possibly be looking at a new greatest monthly income in July or very close to it. So that money will offset anything we have had to spend. But still Ouch.
I blush just reading the number.
The only ray of light in my darkest week was my wife got me a new GoPro camera for making videos.
Fun fact, when you have food in the house you crave take out, when you only have take out you crave anything homemade.
It will take months of retraining to stop my flinching reflex every time I open my wallet. One day at a time.

All over Italy today, Italians are celebrating St. Joseph's Day. They honor both Joseph, the "earthly" father of Jesus, and also all fathers. In Southern Italy, and especially some villages in Puglia, parades and grand events are being held to honor San Giuseppe. As with all celebrations in Italy, food plays a huge part, and with food in Italy, there are always food rules that must be followed.
First, it is not a festa di San Giuseppe without the very decadent zeppole. Everywhere I looked this morning it seemed that someone was ordering a zeppola or eating one. Pastry shops and even the gelaterie flooded their pastry cases with the ring-shaped doughnut. In Lecce, where I am now, these fried treats are topped off with generous amounts of two kinds of pastry cream - a lemon-infused one and then a "dollop" of chocolate. In Naples, amarena cherries replace the chocolate pastry cream, and in Sicily, they slather their famous ricotta cream over the top of the zeppole.

Another food-focused feast happens in the villages near Otranto in Puglia where hundread of homes still practice the tradition of preparing a feast to show hospitality to others in St. Joseph's honor; this feast is known as Le Tavole di San Giuseppe. There are several renditions of how this feast started. Some say it was transformed from a pagan celebration to celebrate the end of Winter and beginning of Spring. Others say that it started when noble families chose one day to offer banquets to feed the poor. Whatever the origins, families in these villages prepare elaborately decorated tables filled with 13 different dishes (13 symbolizing the number that attended the last supper). At the main table is an "altar" to St. Joseph. There you'll find a statue of St. Joseph, his flower-covered staff, and the large rounds of bread, each having an orange in the center. The other tables are filled with meticulously plated dishes, all of which are typical farmers' or peasant's dishes of Puglia.
The tables set for the Feast of St. Joseph and his staff
On March 18th, the night before St. Joseph's day, these families open their doors to all who want to make this pilgrimage; friends, strangers, foreigners, tourists, and even enemies. At each house, those who enter say a prayer at the altar created for St. Joseph. Families start preparing for this feast weeks in advance, and many homes expect more than 400 visitors during the night. During this eve of St. Joseph, no one eats the 13 dishes. Instead the families usually prepare a pasta dish, called massa for the visitors. One house we visited had used hundreds of kilograms of flour to make the massa for their expected visitors.
On St. Joseph's day, in the afternoon after mass, the priest goes around to each of the houses in his village and blesses the tables. Then the banquet starts and the guests, some of dressed to represent St. Joseph, the holy family, the apostles and other saints, eat the 13 dishes of the feast. They consist of the following:
The bread - shaped in the form of a circle (or taralli as they say in Puglia) with decorations on top that symbolize the holy family (Mary, Joseph & Jesus) and with an orange placed in the middle. There are also the fried fish, stoccafisso (a salted cod stew), boiled lampasconi (wild hyacinth bulbs), chickpeas - which are sometimes served with the massa (pasta), pasta with breadcrumbs, pittule (fried dough), cauliflower fried in pastella, le cime di rape (broccoli rabe), puccedruzzi (Puglia's version of the more popularly known struffoli), carteddate (another sweet fried dough with honey drizzled over the top), and wine.

What a lot of food and what a feast!! And then to add one or two zeppole to the day's eats! One of the families we visited in addition to the pasta, even prepared extra gifts of sweets, little cups of various types of cookies, to give to the pilgrims who would come on the eve of March 18th. Whatever your religious beliefs are, or are not, this is quite a thing to witness. The amount of work and love these families put into every detail and how truly generous and hospitable they are to everyone who comes to their doors is astounding and would bring a tear to the eyes of even the most cynical of people.
