One Year Later: Microsoft Sells 240 Million Windows 7 Licenses
One year ago, Microsoft Corp. took the wraps off of its Windows 7 operating system to much fanfare. The vendor said yesterday that since then it has sold more than 240 million licenses for the software, outperforming even its own expectations.
Microsoft says that Windows 7 now commands a 17 percent share worldwide of the operating system market, running on 93 percent of new consumer PCs worldwide. About 1.2 billion PCs globally run some form of Windows.
"I think Windows 7 has exceeded expectations," said Gavriella Schuster, Microsoft general manager, Windows Product Management.
Schuster suggested that Microsoft worried about its timing in releasing the operating system software, considering the economic climate of last fall.
"We were in such a bad place economically, I didn't know how it was going to play out," she said. "I was nervous."
Schuster said that Microsoft will have to push Windows 7 more strongly into the enterprise to maintain its first year momentum.
"Enterprise is over half of our Windows revenue," she said.

Fall classes will be starting soon, and many college students are weighing their transportation options. If you are attending a local college or university, and are looking for ways to keep more money in your pocket, DART can help.
DART has a bus stop or rail station within walking distance of more than 30 colleges and universities, making it possible to progress from community college to a doctoral degree without owning a car.
DART offers reduced fares to full-time college school students who possess the proper DART-issued student ID, making travel to and from campus more affordable. Without a DART Student ID, young adults age 15+ must buy an Adult Day Pass.
If the college or university participates in the DART Higher Education Pass Program, students must obtain a semester DART Pass from the school – usually the parking office. If the institution does not participate, those students may take advantage of DART's Reduced College fares. In both cases, enrollment must be verified at the beginning of every academic semester and your pass updated at the DART Store in Downtown Dallas.
Dallas County Community College District, SMU, UNT Dallas College of Law, UT Dallas and UT Southwestern participate in a contracted Higher Education Pass Program, so for that reason, students do not qualify for reduced fares purchased on the GoPass℠ mobile ticketing app, from a ticket vending machine or from a bus farebox. If you attend one of these schools, please contact your school to obtain your pass.
Qualified DCCCD students can ride DART free when enrolled in at least six spring or fall semester credit hours or 96 contact hours in a single quarter for continuing education students. Learn more at DCCCD.edu/DART.
Discover how to reach campus with on the Travel Agent page, DART.org/travelagent.

text: Hello, I may be interested in participating in GSoC 2010 with ffmpeg. I hope this is the right place to start talking. I have noticed the seeking api project idea, and also that it seems to exist from a previous year, unfinished. I could not find info on what the state is. Is there some info page about this? I would personally be interested in making sample-accurate seeking available for audio. I realize this is not exactly what the seeking api project is, so I wanted to ask what would be acceptable in terms of a project. Besides the basic index-building implementation, I would also be interested in implementing a functionality for building a 'probable' index as the file is decoded, and an api that lets the client see how likely it is that the guess will be valid. For certain audio files, it may not be possible to quickly build an index, but it may be possible to make guesses with increasing certainty while the file is decoded from the start position, (for example, one might say the file is seekable on a fixed size framerate by noticing the frame size doesn't change after the first 10 seconds and we are at approximately the right place in the file.) These are my initial thoughts about a GSoC project and I would like to hear how they sound to the ffmpeg community. My scope of personal interest is for audio, but if audio seeking alone is not enough for a project, I would submit a project that also handles video; however, I think focusing on audio may be ambitious enough giving the amount of testing required for the various formats out there. Another point - I develop on a mac - mostly using xcode. I am somewhat familliar with the configure/make style of building, but I wonder if it would be of help if I added an xcode project to do this. I have not yet built ffmpeg on my machine, but will do soon if the reply from this email suggests that I should apply to ffmpeg. I found this for building instructions on a mac, please let me know if there is another better one: http://stephenjungels.com/jungels.net/articles/ffmpeg-howto.html As a bit of background, I participated in GSoC 2008 though Audacity (the same year in which LRN added ffmpeg support to audacity also through GSoC,) adding on-demand (real-time background loading/seeking.) of wav files. I mentored for Audacity last year. Audacity is not participating in it this year, but I still want to use the opportunity to participate in a related project. Recently I added an experimental (not-enabled by default) functionality that loads ffmpeg compatible files in the background while the user can edit the decoded data. I also want to add seeking support for this, so the ffmpeg seeking api project looks promising and relevant to my personal interests. I also do music/sound/hacking art using c/c++ on my website which is not included (has a title that may trigger your spam filter,) so these open-source audio projects are very interesting to me. Best, Michael Chinen

Christopher Designs
Born and trained in Europe under master jewelry craftsmen Christopher Slowinski founded Christopher Designs in 1976. Today, he combines his classic jewelry training with modern technology to create exclusive designs that include his patented Crisscut® stones. The original Crisscut® arrangement of the 77 "crisscrossed" facets redefined just how brilliant a diamond could be. This facet arrangement was initially used for emerald shapes and later for the Crisscut® Cushion. Christopher's never ending pursuit of perfection and focus on innovation led him to work on redefining the generic round as his next project. This unique Brilliant Crisscut® with 121 facets earned it's trademark for remarkable engineering. Although it appears round, it actually has 12 straight walls and 12 sides, creating the illusion of an exquisitely scalloped border. Christopher Designs has impeccably blended old-world luxury and style with modern technology.

text: April 30, 2012 at 11:30 AM Elwha sediment not just mud, it's nourishment Posted by Lynda Mapes The sediment loads in the Elwha River are spiking because the reservoir behind former Elwha Dam is now completely gone. That means the settling of fines that used to occur in the lake is no longer happening so all that material is pouring into the river, and heading on down to the Strait of Juan de Fuca. It's a dramatic sight. Check out these photos shot by Tom Roorda from his plane on April 22: The distinct line is caused by the difference in density between the fresh water of the Elwha and the salt water of the Strait of Juan de Fuca. The heavy sediment loading is coming primarily from the area that used to be Elwha Dam. In this photo the Elwha River, right, meets the Strait of Juan de Fuca. The plume is flowing east with the tide — up, in this photograph, as Roorda flies north. And while the amount of sediment is large — about 50 times normal levels for the Elwha — don't call it mud. Sediment is a single word for a whole range of material that the river has been depositing behind the two dams for the past 100 years: rocks, gravel, cobble, sand, silt, and clay. About 40 percent of that material is expected to eventually make its way out to sea. More Comments

Creating Tomorrow: clean beauty, tweakment, or both?
Nov 25, 2019 | By Carla Buzasi
Aug 10, 2016
By Jian DeLeon
Founded in 2010 by Giancarlo Angeletti and Bob Follens, VIER Antwerp is a cozy menswear shop (their interior is just 30 square meters) that offers an eclectic selection of catwalk designers and buzzy brands with plenty of street cred. You'd be hard-pressed to find a retailer willing to take a chance on new designers like Devon Halfnight Leflufy alongside names like Raf Simons and merchandise from New York City pirate radio-inspired station Know Wave.
While Antwerp has a reputation for producing some of the most influential fashion designers of the century, like recently appointed Calvin Klein creative director Raf Simons, pattern master Dries Van Noten, and enigmatic deconstructionist Martin Margiela, VIER Antwerp toes the line between understanding and embracing directional design and easy-wearing clothes with a casually commercial appeal.
That high/low menswear mix may seem commonplace these days, but the Antwerp shop has earned some serious co-signs from its lauded fashion citizens. Raf Simons says he can't travel without one of the shop's in-house brand hoodies, while frequent Simons collaborator, photographer Willy Vanderperre, has shot some of their goods for editorials and campaigns. The store takes its name from Antwerp's fourth district—"vier" is Belgian for "four"—and excels at the unique subcultural mix that resonates with an increasingly overlapping, globally connected youth culture that's helped proliferate buzzy labels like London's Palace brand and Russian designer Gosha Rubchinskiy, whose wares are also stocked at VIER.
Co-founder Bob Follens took some time to discuss Antwerp's underground street culture scene, the eclectic influences that inform the store and its covetable in-house label (items often sell out, like the Thrasher-influenced graphic tees and hoodies), and the unique mix of product that defines the modern menswear market, but also the store's DNA.
Your name is inspired by the Fourth District of Antwerp, what is this neighbourhood known for?
We are located in the heart of the fashion district in Antwerp. It is an area of mainly smaller independent retailers that are into streetwear next to some of the biggest names in fashion like Dries Van Noten, for example. With our shop we kind of want to take the best from both worlds—so this is why you can find iconic skate/street brands like Stüssy, Thrasher, Powell Peralta, and Fuct SSDD next to designers like Raf Simons, Gosha Rubchinskiy, Ganryu, and Tim Coppens.
At just 30-square meters, our shop is really small. With VIER Antwerp, we try to bring things that you can combine with different styles, whether it's a Raf Simons jacket or a pair of Dickies pants.
In the five years you have been open, how has the shop evolved?
We first started only with the shop and were considered as very niche: Many times people would not know the brands we carried or what we stood for. The reason we started was mainly because felt something was missing in between street/skate and high-end fashion.
Most of the time you would either find a sneaker or skate shop, or a high-end designer shop where you feel uncomfortable to walk in. Over time, people got more used to what we are doing because they see it in other countries, or through social media, so for many it is not as weird of a concept as it used to be.
How has the retail scene changed? What made you want to start the in-house line?
In the end, we just wanted to have place where anyone would feel welcome—very easy to walk in with a laid-back atmosphere—a place where you can simply find good stuff in a relaxed setting. Our apparel was something that grew slowly on: It first started with our "Antwerp" logo. People liked it, and so we started doing more and more. Now that we're receiving requests from other interesting shops that want to carry our brand, we're looking into how we can manage this on a production level and distribution-wise.
What's the connection between fashion and culture among your customers?
For us, it is really important to have a connection with different subcultures, as they are often very influential on trends and fashion in general. However, skate is only one of our influences as we have a very differentiated type of customer, a thing that we are very proud of. VIER brings a mix of skate/streetwear and more high-end brands and designers. By doing this, we want to attract the young skater and at the same time a more grown-up customer.
You could find some of the most famous people in fashion standing next to a couple of football hooligans who want to buy one of our t-shirts, or a grandpa buying the same pair of shoes or a 16-year old skater. With our apparel brand, we want to speak to different subcultures: it can be a graphic t-shirt for a young skater, or something a tourist takes home as a souvenir, but it's something that people into fashion want to wear—whether it is because of the link to a certain culture or just because of a certain graphic.
"Basically, we take inspiration from stuff that we like or have a connection with. This can relate to skate, sports, photography, graphic design, a certain subculture, and our local youth culture. As long as we have some kind of feeling with it, we use it as a starting point, and from there see what we come up with."
Antwerp is known for its runway designers, but what about smaller brands and street culture, what's the local scene like?
Street culture in Antwerp has long been quite underground and not as commonly spread as today. You used to have different subcultures like punks, skaters, and skinheads, but they were always very much on their own. You could immediately tell what group someone belonged to just by the way they dressed—and most of the time you would just hang around with people that belonged to the same subculture.
Many of these subcultures still exist, but nowadays you see more of an evolution towards a more mainstream street culture that is related to music like hip-hop or electronic. This culture has a less clearly defined style and is more about subtle differences. Today, here like everywhere else, you see an explosion of new brands and shops coming up who each want to take their own place—but it is only a minority who really stand out.
You carry Raf Simons, and he is a big fan of your hoodies. What's your relationship like with designers like him, who are also inspired by young energy?
We really like Raf and his work, especially the way he looks at the things that happen around him and the way he finds inspiration and creativity in youth culture, music, and art. He looks at the outsider, takes inspiration from underground subcultures, and has the ability to bring ideas together in perfect way like no other.
What inspired your Umbro collaboration?
One of our first projects were tees with the football hooligan firm Antwerp Casual Crew, so for us it seemed like a nice thing to do with one of the most iconic football brands around. It is a brand from our youth, with a lot of history, a link to casual culture and a symbol for football. On top of that, here in Antwerp, Umbro almost has a cult status, as one of the biggest achievements in the history of the Royal Antwerp Football Club—winning the Belgian Cup—was done in an Umbro kit back in the early '90s.
Can we expect any other cool projects down the line?
We have a few exciting things coming up but unfortunately can't tell too much about them yet…

Say what you want about Coachella, the legendary music festival that is either the greatest thing ever or a glorified playground for drug-addled rich kids depending on you who ask. Just knowing that the sizzling Sierra Egan will be there is enough to make us sell our souls and get our ticket to the desert in any way possible.
(Hit the right arrow to see some choice selections from Sierra's Instagram account.)
Sierra is a quintessential SoCal beauty, with sandy blonde hair, a toned figure in all the right places, and the kind of tan you get by basically growing up at the beach. This 21-year-old has been hitting up Coachella for the last three years and she didn't break tradition this year, documenting her Weekend 1 journey for her nearly 2 million Instagram followers to see.
Fully aware of the fact that Coachella is as much about making a fashion statement as it is about actually appreciating art and music, Sierra carefully planned out some ripped-up, hippie-approved outfits that straddle the line between "I have a trust fund" and "I just got mauled by a bear."
But hey, we're not going to complain about the hottest Coachella girl of the year showing a little extra skin.
When she's not modeling or partying in the desert, Sierra hones her skills as a licensed Esthetician so that she can one day fall back on another passion. She would also love to work with special-needs children if given the opportunity, so it's nice to know that her heart is in the right place.

Nicola Wyld, UKCP Registered
About me
Hello - I am an experienced integrative psychotherapist and counsellor registered with UKCP. I work with individuals and couples on an open-ended basis or for an agreed time period depending on your needs. Based in central St Albans I am also conveniently located for offering therapy to those in Watford and Hatfield and other parts of central Hertfordshire.
How I work
Working integratively means that I bring together different perspectives that help me respond to you holistically as a unique individual. Sometimes our thoughts, feelings and physical well-being may become out of balance and an integrative approach also enables us to look at how these different facets can be brought together in greater harmony.
I am committed to providing a safe, confidential and non judgmental space for you to talk about yourself in a way that is often not possible with family and friends. My role is not to give advice but to explore with you how you can look at things in a different way and make changes in your life. I see the purpose of therapy as enabling you to gain a new understanding of yourself so that you can enhance your life and live it more fully and resourcefully.
Together we can identify the best way of working with the issues that you bring. This may involve taking some time to explore in depth underlying patterns that have arisen from the past, how these impact on you in the present and can be changed. Or you may decide that you want to look at something specific on a short term basis in order to find a solution. In working with couples my aim is to facilitate your communication with one another in understanding the issues that you bring.
About me
I trained originally as a solicitor and more recently as a family mediator for couples on relationship breakdown. Over the past 30 years I have worked in various capacities for children, young people and families: as a practising lawyer, a family mediator and in the charitable sector working to promote change through legal advice and advocacy, policy development and training. From my experience over the years I have gained a good understanding of the issues as well as the challenges and stresses facing those working in this field such as social workers and specialist solicitors.

Good old Fallout 3! I do love it, despite it's severely railroading main story/quest line – the world all around that is just fantastic and it's so much fun to play in. It's basically a huge open world that you can pretty much do as you please in… the kind of thing that Bethesda seems to do so well!
After the recent Mass Effect 3 heartbreak, I've steered away from RPGs for a bit (Thankfully Minecraft hasn't yet let me down!) – but I recently got the itch to play Fallout 3 again.
What's Fallout 3 you ask?
It's a RPG set in a future world of an alternative history. In the Fallout universe, things went a bit differently sometime around the 1950s, and whilst things like Nuclear weapons still came to be, things like the Microchip didn't so much. The biggest difference of cause, is the great war. A world ending Nuclear cacophony occurs. Have a look at the Fallout Wiki's Timeline if you'd like some more detail.
Seriously, if you've never played it, it's worth the £15 that Steam is currently asking for the Game of the Year edition…
Anyway, after reinstalling it I'm left facing the question of mods…
There are SO MANY mods out there for this game – and a lot of them are just simply awesome.
Seriously, If you've got Fallout 3 on the PC you need to get some mods! Head on over to Fallout 3 Nexus and take a look.
I highly recommend the following; Fallout Wanderer's Edition, Mart's Mutant Mod, Fellout, Weapon Mod Kits, EVE, NMC's Texture Pack [FULL] and the DC Interior's Project.
There are many, many more though, from additional 'Perks' to new Radio stations.
And I would just like to take a moment to thank all of the awesome mod makers who have enriched the game with all this additional content. Thank you people!
But perhaps two of the most important 'mods' you should look at are the bug reducing/error fixing ones – namely Fallout Stutter Remover and Error Reductions – Reduce CTD – these two alone are perhaps the most important downloads any Fallout 3 fan could ever do! Seriously.
After all this, perhaps it's no wonder that my Fallout 3 directory is 18Gb in total…
But when my Vault Dweller character makes his first trip out of Vault 101 now, the post apocalyptic world that greats him now looks like this.

Every year, without fail, a thing happens that heralds the beginning of Summer for me. That thing is my drive home from work. The temperature will be balmy, my car windows will be down enough to create a breeze and I will be listening to good music. I will feel hopeful, it will feel like the moment things flip away from cold dark mornings and constant drizzle to orange tinted dusk and bright dawns. I will feel that Summer is on the way.
That moment this year happened yesterday evening. I was late leaving work so managed to achieve a speed of more then 4mph on the M6, Annie Mac was playing some decent tunes and it was a warm evening.
Summer is on the way. It is official in my book.
And then I walked through the front door and tripped over a toy lawnmower.
So here are my signs that Summer is coming, re-authored from my perspective as a Mummy.
1. You scope out local beer gardens over the course of a week or so to select your favourite and then set up residence with a bottle of Pinot.
You scope out all Splash Pads and Sandpits within a twenty mile radius and visit them all, clutching a grubby Sainsburys carrier bag contained 12 packs of raisins, a bruised banana, a small pot of Playdoh, baby wipes and a bottle of flat Coke.
2. You buy a Summer perfume and new sunglasses.
You buy every type of 'non-sticky, extra strength, factor 50 for sensitive skin' children's suncream going and then lose them all over a three week period.
3. You spend hours researching romantic boutique hotels on the banks of an exotic lake somewhere.
You spend hours researching crèche facilities, buffet options and swimming pools at a host of resorts across Europe before losing the will to live, chucking a dart at a brochure and screeching BOOK THAT ONE at whichever resort it lands on.
4. You master a new Summer eyeliner flick.
You master the art of rinsing suncream out of a toddler's eye in 20 seconds.
5. You bring out the picnic basket from the cupboard under the stairs.
The cupboard under the stairs becomes a vestibule for storing approximately 600 battered sun hats and caps that were worn by your child for 10 seconds each before being discarded.
6. Corona.
Tepid Carling swigged rapidly from the can between repeated trips upstairs to calm a fractious child who cannot sleep in the heat.
7. You spend weekend afternoons snoozing in the Sun in the garden.
You spend weekend afternoons repeatedly applying sunblock, spraying insect repellant and being soaked by a hose pipe.
8. You paint your nails in pastel hues.
You wipe ice-cream sticky fingerprints from windows and door handles.
9. You drift lazily on a Lilo in a pool.
You shriek DON'T WEE IN THE POOL.
10. You listen endlessly to the latest Ibiza sunsetter.
Your Summer soundtrack is Peppa Pig's Rainbow song, the Thomas soundtrack and 'I'm the King of the Castle.'
And yet, Summer with a toddler is glorious. You will create memories, spend every possible waking moment outside, and indulge in the fun of Summer rather than the materiality of it in a way that you haven't since you yourself were a child.
And so for all that they are different these days, for me these signs that Summer is coming are welcome. I will take all the flat drinks and battered hats if it means watching my boy run barefoot around the garden laughing like a drain with not a care in the world.
So welcome back sunshine.

Italian Turkey Sausage and lean ground turkey are the main ingredients in this simple slow cooker meaty marinara!
Nothing beats an easy dinner that's ready when you need it!
There was a time that I loved to run. I think that time was between the ages of 5 and 10. During that time I ran everywhere! I ran to my friends house, then I ran home. I ran to school and I ran during recess. I ran up the stairs and I ran down the stairs. I ran playing tag and I ran playing chase. I ran and ran and ran and never seemed to tire or get winded. By the time I got to high school, not only did I hate running, but I found it difficult to do. It only got worse with age. Today, the only running I do consistently is to "run errands".
Running seems like the most natural thing to do. After all, it requires no special equipment and it can be done anywhere. Yet, for some of us it feels like the most unnatural thing possible. Giving birth (3 times) is by far an easier task for me than running a mile!! How did this happen? Am I just out of practice? Old lungs? I want to run, I really do. I recently uploaded an app that is supposed to get me to run a 5k in 8 weeks! Sounds easy doesn't it? I'm not actually going to run a 5k (that would be crazy). I just want to experience that exhilarating freedom that comes from running as fast as you can. I want to feel my heart pounding and hear my feet against the pavement. Yes, that's exactly what I want.

Good Working Music
Our creative projects vary extremely. One day, we are hanging a small canvas painting on our wall, the next, we are designing a shadowbox for a treasured artifact. A constant, however, is that nothing gets our creative juices flowing quite like a good record.
Music is one of the most profound forms of art, and frankly one of our favorites. Whether we're on shuffle, or playing songs an album at a time, you can be sure something sweet is pumping out of our speakers.
One of the treats about starting each day at the gallery is deciding which music to cue up. We can create a cool jazzy atmosphere with the low hum of Nat King Cole's sultry voice, or what feels like an Afrobeat dance party, courtesy of the booming vocals of Fela.
What genre of music do you like to play while you work? Sound-off by leaving a comment below!

WASHINGTON, June 28 (Reuters) - Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel met with senior U.S. Department of Transportation officials this week to discuss a plan by Elon Musk's Boring Co to build a $1 billion underground transit system, officials confirmed on Thursday.
The hour-long meeting on Monday in Washington at the department's headquarters, which has not been previously reported, focused on the plan to send people from Chicago's downtown Loop district to O'Hare International Airport at 150 miles (241 km) per hour, a spokesman for the U.S. Transportation Department said.
The system will travel the 17 miles (27 km) from downtown to O'Hare, one of the world's busiest airports, in 12 minutes, Emanuel said on June 14. The trip currently takes 30 to 45 minutes.
"Mayor Emanuel provided DOT officials with an update on the Chicago Loop project. Chicago reaffirmed that there will be no federal funds involved. All parties agreed to work together and stay in close communication," a spokesman for the Transportation Department told Reuters Thursday.
Emanuel met with Federal Railroad Administrator Ron Batory, Under Secretary of Transportation for Policy Derek Kan and other officials. Among the issues discussed were what specific type of environmental review the project will need, what Transportation Department agency will oversee the project and if the department would tap a specific person to oversee permitting approvals, officials said.
Matt McGrath, a spokesman for Emanuel, decline to comment.
The project is expected to cost around $1 billion, Reuters reported on June 14, citing sources. Emanuel said the project will funded by the company with no taxpayer subsidies, and added that in conjunction with O'Hare's planned $8.5 billion expansion, it will fuel Chicago's economic growth.
Drilling for the project, pending regulatory and environmental approvals, could begin in as soon as three to four months, said Musk, who also founded and heads luxury electric car maker Tesla Inc and rocket maker SpaceX. It could be operational 18 to 24 months after that.
The Boring Co has been promoting its plans for Hyperloop tunnels that would allow high-speed travel between cities, such as travel from New York to Washington in less than 30 minutes.
Musk unveiled a plan last month in Los Angeles to build tunnels beneath the city for a high-speed network of "personalized mass transit," promising to build it without disturbance or noise at the surface.
The Chicago and Los Angeles projects come as Musk wrestles ramping up production of the Tesla Model 3. Some investors are concerned his leadership roles at Boring and SpaceX have spread him too thin. (Reporting by David Shepardson Editing by Marguerita Choy)

Quick Tips: Packing and Moving Your Stash
It's The Big Day, the day when The Big Truck shows up in our driveway. This move seems like a teensy, tiny one (40 miles) compared to the two other moves I've made in the past six years–California to Colorado (1211 miles) and Colorado to Toronto (1508 miles).
But it's still pretty crazy around here…which means I'm a bit crazy, too. So I feel as though this isn't a Real Sandi Post, it's just a little mini-post–just me waving hello at you all before I run back to check that no one is using a hockey stick to launch the box with Grandma's china into the back of the van.
(waves hello!)
However, even in a mini-post I feel compelled to say something worth your time, so here it is:
Sandi's Quick Tips On Packing Yarn and Fiber for a Move
If it is hot, or if the moving van will be traveling a long way through hot areas, do not put your wool yarn or spinning fibers into sealed "ziplock" plastic bags for the trip and then pile all those airtight bags into a box or bin! The heat (intensified by the bags) can draw out any bit of moisture caught in the fibers, the movement of the truck can cause things to shift around inside the plastic bags, the wool can rub against itself and against the bag…and you could have lovely felted balls and skeins and rovings at the other end of your trip.
Ask me how I know this.
Ask me how much spinning fiber, how much lovely lovely knitting yarn, felted up and had to be thrown out after moving from California to Colorado (across the desert…).
Yeah. Ouch.
Plastic bags are just not good packing enclosures for yarn, especially if you seal them tightly. Better just to place the um, "naked" yarn (or fiber) gently into "locking" plastic bins. Leave some airflow space around the yarn, toss in a few cedar sachets, and then send the bins on their way.
Sealable plastic bins are preferable to cardboard boxes, ESPECIALLY if you are using a professional moving van service. Why? Moving van services may carry two or more loads on a single truck. If the other loads have a moth infestation, or interesting smells, or sticky leaks, then your precious yarn is better protected in a plastic bin. Choose sturdy bins, and make sure that the bins are not at the bottom of a big stack of heavy book boxes.
Identification: With spinning fibers, often the original plastic bag has a label affixed to it–a label that tells what the fiber is. If you pack the fiber separately from its bag, you might forget what that pretty roving is! I make a little card for each bit of roving that tells me what it is, then I fold the card in half so the ink can't come off on the fiber in the heat. I unroll the roving a bit, place the card in the folds of the fiber, then roll it back up again with the card securely inside.
Yarn labels: Most yarn labels these days are some sort of uncoated paper or cardboard, which aren't slick enough to cause much friction. I leave those on, provided they are loose enough and don't squeeze the skein too tightly (a recipe for rubbing). If the label is slick, or coated, or plastic, or too tight, I slit the label and leave the skein cradled in the now-loose label.
Finally: Keep it loose. Don't shove down on the yarn to get as much in the bin as possible. Just drop the skeins in and let 'em play nicely with each other on the trip.
Am I being too paranoid? This is YARN we're talking about, my friends. Pretty, fuzzy, soft, colorful, wonderful, amazing YARN. My stash is a considerable (!) investment; I learned a hard lesson six years ago and so perhaps I have good reason for a little bit of OCD behavior when it comes to packing my yarn. I know that yarn companies ship yarn in plastic bags all the time, but those bags are much thinner plastic than regular ziplocks; usually the bags also have holes or openings in them to let the air flow through to prevent "chafing." After talking with the experts, and after a successful stash move last summer (no felting! yay!), I'm OK with a little paranoia, if it protects my beautiful–and much beloved–stash.
Time to go!
Knit with joy,
– Sandi
P.S. Yes, I will be knitting in the U-Haul truck all the way to our new home…
Next week: I promised you a post on what I learned about wrangling a lace pattern as you add or decrease stitches, and I'm going to keep that promise. "See" you next Thursday!
P.S. Let me know what you think! You can leave a comment below or even email me at firstname.lastname@example.com.

A few quotes which demonstrate how the Novus Ordo thinks about the excommunicated heresiarch, Martin Luther. As always the underline are our for emphasis.
Danilo Bogoni : Through newly issued stamps, the Vatican continues to clear the pages of history previously considered, at the least embarrassing: in 2011 the centenary of the unification of Italy, in this 2017 soon the beginning of the Lutheran Reformation. [CMJ - Luther's Revolt] The issue of which a few years ago was unthinkable with the mark of the crossed keys.
Mauro Olivieri : We have to try to understand the present time and be interpreters of the messages that the Holy Father wishes to convey; with the help and understanding of my Superiors of the Governorate, we develop the idea of a modern philately [CMJ - philately is the collection and study of postage stamps], which mark the important moments of history: no doubt the issue dedicated to the 500th anniversary of the Protestant Reformation [CMJ - Protestant Revolt] marks the rapprochement and overcoming of mutual misunderstandings between Christians, and the philately there is.
—Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity, Resources for THE WEEK OF PRAYER FOR CHRISTIAN UNITY and throughout the year 2017, 31 May 2016 —
"I think that the intentions of Martin Luther were not mistaken. He was a reformer. Perhaps some methods were not correct. But in that time, if we read the story of the Pastor, a German Lutheran who then converted when he saw reality – he became Catholic – in that time, the Church was not exactly a model to imitate. There was corruption in the Church, there was worldliness, attachment to money, to power...and this he protested. Then he was intelligent and took some steps forward justifying, and because he did this. And today Lutherans and Catholics, Protestants, all of us agree on the doctrine of justification. On this point, which is very important, he did not err. He made a medicine for the Church, but then this medicine consolidated into a state of things, into a state of a discipline, into a way of believing, into a way of doing, into a liturgical way and he wasn't alone; there was Zwingli, there was Calvin, each one of them different, and behind them were who? Principals! We must put ourselves in the story of that time. It's a story that's not easy to understand, not easy. Then things went forward, and today the dialogue is very good. That document of justification I think is one of the richest ecumenical documents in the world, one in most agreement."

To explain the columns below, Median is a median point spread, and can be used to get a feel for how good a team is without overly weighting a blowout win or blowout loss. HS is Brian Burke's Homemade Sagarin, as implemented in Maggie Xiong's PDL::Stats. Pred is the predicted Pythagorean expectation. The exponent for this measure is fitted to the data set itself. SOS, SRS, and MOV are the simple ranking components. MOV is margin of victory, or point spread divided by games played. SOS is strength of schedule. SRS is the simple ranking.
At this juncture, Baltimore was upset by Jacksonville 12-7, and consequently, there are changes at the top of the various stats. New Orleans sits atop the HS rankings, while Baltimore still has edges in median point spread and Pythagorean expectation. But I suspect for many the statistical darling of the moment is San Francisco, with solid Pythagoreans, a good record, and the best simple ranking of them all.

But then Shane said I'd be grounded for good unless I thanked everyone who is giving up their time and energy for the greater good of my international glory.
Obviously, all the photographers are excellent, and guys, I love you to bits. But since you'll all get mentioned on the pages devoted to photos of me, I just wanted to single out a few of the The Mask Series roadies as well.
Brace yourselves, People, this might get messy….
In alphabetical order they are:
ANDREAS REH - Thank you for bringing a bit of class and international glamour to the show. Also for your invaluable input to the Steering Committee, and your patience.

SHANE BALKOWITSCH - Thank you, Shane! Where would I be with you, Buddy? I'll tell you where. Gathering dust on some shelf in Amazon's warehouse. But thanks to your vision I'm now seeing the world. By the end of this journey I'll have visited all of the top wet plate studios in the world. It's not every gas mask that can say that about themselves. You're a genius, Shane. I couldn't have done it without you!
TONY RICHARDS - Tony, thank you so much! A lot of men would have run away screaming, or pretended they were sick or some such, just to get out of this. But you have created a showcase not just for me, but for all your fellow collaborators to sign. You have gone above and beyond to make sure everyone's work is seen in the best vantage point possible, and you hardly screamed and cried at all when you were kidnapped and dragged onto the committee. Tony, I can't wait to meet you, and finally sit in this chair.

the inquirer has news on via's next embedded graphics chip, and also some news on a 533mhz system bus. they seem to suggest that the 533mhz bus has something to do with qdr, but it seems like via's talking about the system bus, not the memory bus. i'm finding it quite confusing so far. less confusing is nvidia's nforce driver tweaking. reviewers still do not have nforce motherboards in hand, possibly due to nvidia doing additional driver work on the chipset. the register reports that the hynix bailout will most probably not be enough to keep them afloat. those same inventories that are hurting hynix and other suppliers are helping to shelter other companies from delivery problems relating to the attack. samsung is being accused of dram patent infringement by mosaid, which says samsung is infringing on 7 of their u.s. patents.

Today's Card:
The Magician (I)
The second card, but the first numbered, in the Major Arcana the focus of the card is on using knowledge, resources, and will to create change. It is also an example of the dual nature of a magician--able to create magic and illusion, to speak eloquently and manipulate an audience to see things the way s/he wants them to see it...this can be done for both good and evil; for the welfare and benefit of others or for purely selfish reasons.
Meaning (Upright):
Need to know what you want before you focus your will on gaining what you want; the Magician has a way with words; new beginning; new relationship; potential for leadership or reaching desired activity; mental and physical growth; new lesson to learn and must pay attention to details; know your skills for success; self-mastery; going in the right direction; if you focus your will, you can succeed
Meaning (Reversed):
Watch out--this can also indicate a con man at work; no new beginnings in the areas you want; no ambition or drive; stagnant thoughts, behavior, creativity; feeling low; lack of self-esteem; not paying attention to responsibilities; closed to new information; focus on the physical or sexual; lacking will power; exploitation of others; could be dominated by a more powerful will; not telling the whole story; must look deeper into the situation; not applying yourself correctly--need to change attitude to succeed

If you get the Magician (I) in a reading...
The upright Magician indicates you're using your skills in all the right ways. Success can be yours, but you need to stay focused and direct your will correctly. Be assured, you're on the right path, just stay focused.
Remember, what the Magician represents is dependent upon the question being asked in the reading as well as the situation you find yourself in or facing.
Here's the disclaimer: I have to stress, I am not an expert in the Tarot and I use them for myself and friends (and my characters) to help answer questions about situations and the future.
Enjoy and have a great day,

The Best Cherries for Gout
If you have gout, then you know the excruciating pain and suffering you can experience during a flare-up. Of all the medicines and natural treatments available for relieving the pain of gout, cherries rise to the top for being able to soothe and reduce inflammation, swelling and pain, as well as that of arthritis and other joint-related inflammations. Not only are cherries touted by some as a wonder treatment, but they are fast-acting and they're good for you.
If you are experiencing serious medical symptoms, seek emergency treatment immediately.
Raw, Cooked or Canned?
Gout is a form of arthritis caused by the breakdown of proteins into purines, which are further broken down into uric acid. Excess uric acid in the blood crystallizes and is deposited in the joints, causing excruciating pain, inflammation and swelling. Regardless of whether cherries are consumed raw, cooked or canned, or whether you drink the cooking juice or take cherry extract, these little red fruits will be helpful in relieving your joint pain and swelling, according to Mike Adams at NaturalNews.com. The pigments that make cherries red are called anthocyanins, and they assist the body in dissolving the uric acid crystals, helping them to be excreted by the kidneys. Cherries are also high in potassium and contribute to helping the body maintain a slightly alkaline state, which prevents the formation of acids in the blood, especially uric acid.
Sour Cherries vs. Black Cherries
There's one camp that prefers black cherries and another that recommends sour cherries for their ability to reduce uric acid levels and lessen the pain and inflammation of gout, explains Mothernature.com. Both work, but it seems that sour cherries are more highly favored by natural health practitioners and slightly more effective. Both kinds of cherries are safe to consume and have no side effects. The recommended amount ranges from 6 cherries to 8 oz. per day. Eat them several times a day and experiment until you find the perfect amount for you. Expect to see results within less than 24 hours.
Cherry Juice and Cherry Juice Concentrate
Drinking tart cherry juice has been reported to do wonders for gout and other sources of severe foot pain, reports the People's Pharmacy website. Light, tart and refreshing but very potent, tart cherry juice should be mixed with water in a ratio of approximately one part cherry juice to two parts water, with a good amount being 3 oz. cherry juice to 6 oz. water, but mix to satisfy your tastes. Drink two to three glasses daily during an attack and then one glass a day for maintenance. Black cherry juice concentrate can also be consumed for relief from gout pain. Much sweeter than the tart cherry juice, it should also be mixed with water. Experiment with the quantity but start with 1 to 2 tbsp. of concentrate in 6 to 8 oz. of water, twice daily during an attack and once a day for maintenance.

Dr. Brent Hendrixson at Millsaps College in Jackson, Mississippi (USA) has had a National Science Foundation (NSF) grant for the last several years supporting his work on the taxonomy of the North American Aphonopelma. There are several important things to note about this:
1) He's an official, card carrying, professional arachnologist, capable of doing reliable, believable work in the field. (Unlike a lot of the clumsy, semi-ignorant, poorly educated or self-educated pseudo-experts that have been mucking around and messing things up.)
2) He's good enough to have earned a big league research grant. (Not a kitchen, basement or garage, home brew operation.)
3) The results he publishes are subject to rigorous, scientific, peer review processes and are published in recognized scientific journals, not amateur newsletters, not pet hobbyist magazines, not self-published media releases, not comic books.
4) The scientific community at large is finally sitting up and taking notice of the fact that there is serious science out there to be pursued that INCLUDES spiders and tarantulas.
The last I spoke with Brent, he had found that of the nominal 52 or more species listed in Platnick's World Spider Catalog, perhaps fewer than 30 are valid. The others are invalid for a variety of reasons.
[NOTE: This is not to be construed as a criticism of Dr. Platnick's work. The World Spider Catalog merely reports and correlates taxonomic publications about spiders, serving as a central reference for arachnology as a whole. And, Dr. Platnick is doing a truly remarkable job considering the difficulties and complexities of the project. We do not shoot the messenger!]
And, during the course of his investigations Brent's lab has identified about a half dozen new species.
Thus, the real number of North American Aphonopelma according to modern standards of taxonomy (e.g., using DNA and other analyses) is going to end up at about three dozen, give or take.
But more importantly, his studies are going to reorganize our understanding of the genus. He says that when he finally publishes his magnum opus it's going to blow our socks off! We were THAT wrong in all our earlier assessments! When his final work is published a large number of our prejudices and beliefs, not to mention the names we've assumed were the King's truth, will change in a heartbeat.
We wait with bated breath.
"Our ignorance [about tarantulas] is staggering."

The Unmutual Website is sad to announce that Katherine Kath, who so memorably played the part of Madame Engadine in the "Prisoner" episode "A, B, and C" recently passed away at the age of 92.
Katherine Kath nee Lily Faess was born in Berck Plage, Picardy and was the fifth child of parents Adrien Faess and Alix Caserbo. Lily worked very hard as a child and was very ambitious and with the support from her family became the top ballet dancer in her class and achieved stage recognition very quickly.
Lily went on to train seven hours a day for ten years to become a Prima Ballerina at the Theatre du Chatelet in Paris, but due to an ankle injury and with medical advice was forced to give up the ballet to avoid permanent damage.
Katherine Kath moved onto acting in the theatre and created a short sketch role of 'Irma La Douce' at the Caberet ''Chez Gilles'' in Paris a production by Grenier and Husneau, (later was brought to the screen starring Shirley MacLaine).
Katherine Kath had great success in the late 1940/50's with a string of plays written by the highly acclaimed French writer Jean Anouilh (1910-1987), titles included 'Antigone', 'Invitasion au Chateau' (Ring Round The Moon), 'Le Diner De Famille',. These theatre productions were a roaring success in Paris at the time, at the Theatre Marigny and established Katherine Kath as an actress and played to sold-out houses every night.Other plays were 'La Soif' (1949) by Henry Bernstein (1876-1953) starring Jean Gabin (1904-1976), Claude Dauphin (1904-1976) -Katherine took over the role that was created by Madeleine Robinson (1916-2004), 'La Petite Lily' (1951) starring Edith Piaf (1915-1963).

John Huston's Associate Producer on Moulin Rouge was Jack Clayton (1921-1995) whom Katherine would later marry.
After 'Moulin Rouge' Katherine returned to Paris to star in 'Le Dortoir Des Grandes' 1953 starring Jean Marais (1913-1998) , 'Oh No, Mam'zelle' 1954 starring Fernandel (1903-1998), Pier Angeli (1932-1971).

Each year, the Bass 'n Gals holds an open Buddy Bass Tournament in September. Here is more information on that upcoming event and the rules are posted on our Facebook page:BuddyTournamentCover2016
We've all been in the position of having to learn how to back up a boat trailer, whether we are trying to get the boat in the water or park the trailer after the fact. Some members can do it just by looking in the rearview mirror and making minute adjustments. Others, like this writer, still rely on twisting like a pretzel to look out the back window. Yet others have impatiently waited their turn on a ramp while someone was undoing straps. Here's a quick blog from 5×3 on etiquette at the boat ramp.
While Lynda Gessner has been with the club for a number of years, she also fishes on the women's pro tour, the Lady Bass Angler's Association. She recently did an outstanding blog on frog fishing, a technique Lynda has perfected over the years. Check it out on the LBAA website.
Women today constitute more than one third of all anglers. They own and operate their own rigs, trailer those rigs to any given lake throughout the country and do fish competitively, just like their male counterparts. For the women who participate in the sport, bass fishing is a driving passion in their lives. It boosts their self-esteem and creates healthier minds and bodies. It significantly reduces their stress level, creating a happier family atmosphere.
The Gateway Bass'n Gals strives to abolish the myth that women do not fish, and that bass fishing on a competitive level, is strictly a man's sport. The beginning angler needs a place to learn and the accomplished, experienced angler cherishes the camaraderie she shares with her angling peers and is always willing to pass her knowledge on to beginning anglers. The Gateway Bass'n Gals are dedicated to providing just such a venue for ALL women anglers throughout our area. We invite you to join us in our efforts to grow the sport of bass fishing for all women.
The members of the Gateway Bass 'n Gals routinely run across articles that we believe are noteworthy and should be shared.
While we are just as competitive as the men out there, we have the comradery that may be missing in the more lucrative tournaments. Check out this well written blog by 5×3:

The businesses they work for have equally demanding standards and expectations.
Working with talent is the basis of a fertile and productive relationship, often spanning years.

1. The Failing Strength of the Structural Organisation
"Today we are living with the legacy of a couple of hundred or so years of office work. We have found ourselves at the mercy of command and control hierarchies which have become more or less irrelevant in today's digitally connected world" (1). This is the view of Dave Coplin – Chief Envisioning Officer at Microsoft.
Hierarchies were created when manufacturing was the order of the day, where work was predictable and ordered. Back then, decision authorities and resource management could be organised hierarchically; they established the order and ensured that pre-designed ways of working were maintained and delivered efficiently.
However, things have changed. Businesses now need to reimagine how they organise themselves, as they adapt to today's conditions:
- With the shift in the type of employment towards more knowledge working, Daniel Pink (2) suggests that to engage knowledge workers requires providing them with a sense of purpose, giving them more opportunities to develop and provide them with greater autonomy to operate. This demands a different form of leadership, and starts to weaken the historical power of hierarchy.
- Secondly, with the economy being more disruptive and less predictable, businesses are having to manage multiple sets of products and services that could be at different lifecycle stages, so requiring different types of focus, capability and leadership (see diagram 1). City & Guilds is one such example of this, with its portfolio of businesses.
2. Evolution of the Organisation
All of this means that the way in which businesses have organised themselves has been evolving, as they respond to the changing world – building additional infrastructures over time:
Diagram 2: Evolution of the Organisation
Evolving from Hierarchy to Heterarchy
These stages can be additive, building on the infrastructure that already exists. This however means that the organisation has become far more complicated to manage. And it has meant the emergence of individuals, teams or functions that are connected laterally to other individuals, teams or functions. They share the same 'horizontal' position of power and authority, spreading ideas between themselves and making decisions with less need for permission from their hierarchial parent.
This is the emergence of the 'heterarchy', which can exist within the overall hierarchical business framework. A heterarchy can make organisational life far more ambiguous, and may cause confusion to those with a more traditional mindset.
Stage 1 – Functional Order
Where efficiency and order prevail. When a business is stable, it can optimise functional excellence and efficiency.
Stage 2 – Business Unit Primacy
Where multiple businesses, at different life-stages and sizes, facing different markets /customers / channels, dictate the pace and direction of the organisation, and are supported by centralised corporate functions and / or services.
Stage 3 – Cross-Business Proposition & Platform Development
Where group-wide initiatives in value proposition and platform development cut across Business Units and Functions for the benefit of the group.
Stage 4 – Capability Networks
Where professional groupings of capability from across the business, develop methodologies and new thinking, and share their resource and expertise across the whole business.
Stage 5 – Building Disruptive Innovation
Acquiring or partnering innovations from elsewhere that might challenge the Business Unit status quo, on the basis that it is better to disrupt oneself than to be disrupted by others.
3. Reimagining Teams in the Ambi-Dextrous Organisation
One consequence of all of this is the re-emergence of 'autonomous teams', where the leader provides a framework within which a team can operate and make decisions, interacting horizontally as well as vertically within the organisation.
In our recent pan-European research on autonomous teams (3), we found that although there is a desire to offer greater autonomy to teams, businesses are struggling to make it a real success. The difficulties lie in creating the right environment for the teams to operate, establishing a healthy relationship with the hierarchy, and having managers who are able to achieve a healthy balance between control and freedom. The research found that the biggest complaint was 'too much interference' from managers.
4. Reimagining Jobs in the Ambi-dextrous Organisation
With the evolution of organisations, and the emergence of autonomous teams comes an equally radical shift in how we work – from designing 'roles and positions' to designing 'capabilities and projects'. Businesses have moved away from job titles with tightly defined responsibilities and tasks, towards designing roles focused on outputs, utilising pools of expertise across the business.
In this way, the individual identifies with a specific community of professionals to develop their competence, whilst work becomes more multiple-project-based. Individuals need to manage their workload, multiple bosses and exert influence laterally, far more than ever before.
Many firms are moving along in this direction, and adapting as they evolve. The growing pains can be difficult, but as they mature into a more ambi-dextrous organisation, they will be better-suited to the world around us.

I don't know about you, but I am always looking for new side dish ideas. I mean, there are only so many nights I can serve steamed broccoli or brown rice. And mashed potatoes get boring. So I was flipping through my Pioneer Woman cookbook and came across this recipe for Crash Hot Potatoes. GENIUS! I love baked potatoes, and I often mist them with olive oil and sprinkle them with sea salt. This recipe crashes down on my favorite baked potato method. Literally. Plus, it's a whole heck of a lot faster than baking a potato.
This lightened up Pioneer Woman Recipe for Crash Hot Potatoes was achieved by misting the olive oil instead of 'generously drizzling it' all over everything. We love olive oil, but our butt doesn't need us to be generous with it!
Boil them whole, smash them (be careful, because those suckers are slippery), mist them with olive oil, and then bake them until crispy.
So easy my mind was blown.
Crash Hot Potatoes are great for dinner, lunch, brunch, breakfast, or a late night snack. You can fancy them up with any number of fresh herbs or spices, or just eat them naked. Any way you look at it, it's a great new way to eat the same old side dish!
Step by Step
- Fill a large stock pot with water, and a sprinkling of salt. Bring to a boil, add whole potatoes, and cook them until they are fork-tender.
- Mist a cookie sheet with olive oil. Place potatoes on the cookie sheet leaving plenty of room between each potato.
- With a potato masher or large fork, press down each potato until it's slight flat. Don't get crazy or you'll have mashed potatoes!
- Mist the tops of each crushed potato with more olive oil.
- Sprinkle potatoes with salt, fresh ground black pepper, and fresh chopped rosemary (or whatever herb you have available.)
- Bake in a 450 degree oven for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and crispy!

True Blue Morocco Cedarwood & Spice Warming Body Scrub Review, Photo
True Blue Morocco Cedarood & Spice Warming Body Scrub is a Bit Cool
Cedarwood & Spice Warming Body Scrub ($15.00 for 6 oz.) is a spicy, exotic smelling body scrub. It's designed to warm on contact with the skin to be both soothing and invigorating.
It's a mild exfoliant with a very fine particles, actually feels fine enough to be more of a body polish than a scrub. I actually found that there was not enough scrubbies in it to really make an effective scrub, just because you either use a ton or you end up having them sparsely on your legs/arms. I did, however, really enjoy the warming sensation! I just wished the warmth would last longer or allow me to spread it out a bit more before the sensation began. I found it worked well in spots, but it didn't work so well when I wanted to lather and massage it into a larger area of skin (e.g. a leg).
So, if it doesn't do much scrubbing and the warming sensation is short-lived, what makes me like this product anyway? Because it smells divine! It is a fairly strong aroma of sandalwood, amber, musk, and cedarwood. It's very spicy and woody–very masculine in a way. I like! I'm just a fan of some of these darker, woodier scents, and it actually lingers on skin all day long. I've found most body scrubs and gels to have great scents while I'm in the shower, but they fade shortly after I've toweled dry. That is certainly not the case here–the scent is noticeable but not overwhelming; you could layer with a similar scented body lotion, too, but even alone, it works as a very subtle, muted fragrance.
This product has so much potential to be amazing–I really would love to see the addition of more scrub particles so it actually exfoliates well. Even though it doesn't feel like there is much scrubbing action, it does leave skin soft and smooth wherever you do scrub, and the scrubbing particles don't disappear/melt away quickly, so you can massage it in a bit. I like more in my scrub, but perhaps there are others who like a much finer, lighter scrub.
- Product: 6/10
- Value: 8/10
- Ease of Use: 7/10
- Packaging: 8/10
Recommendation: If it weren't for the heady spicy, woody scent, I might find this product pretty useless. Because I do love the scent and it lingers throughout the day, I do find myself reaching it for often. It can also be nice to use on specific, targeted areas like feet or on a strained muscle to take advantage of the warming sensation.

I mentioned our jaunt to Del who gave voice:
"Oh, yes. They are quite tasty and the men have so much fun playing chef while the women organize them. But they aren't real Swedish pancakes. They are something you might find in Aunt Agatha's Tea Shoppe in Stockholm, But real Swedes would laugh it back to the kitchen."
Did I mention that Del was half German and half Sicilian? So of course he knew.
He gave me the following recipe which, I cheerfully admit, makes a wonderful pancake -- particularly if you plan to split a cord or three of firewood that day.
The warning is apt. The temptation to dilute -- while great -- must be resisted. I have kept the batter overnight in the fridge and for as much as a week without apparent ill effect. That's strange considering that the baking powder and soda, once wet, should loose their leavening power in less than a day.Real Swedish PancakesMix 4 cups rolled oats, 1 cup flour, 1/4 cup sugar, 2 teaspoons soda, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
Add 4 beaten eggs, 4 cups buttermilk, 1/2 cup melted butter, 2 teaspoons vanilla.
Stir. Let stand 45 minutes to thicken.Do NOT add more liquid.Fry on griddle by spoonfuls.
Also this recipe scales nicely. Divide the major quantities by four and the leaven and vanilla by half for a modest breakfast for four or six. At The Kid'stmrequest I occasionally use a waffle iron instead of a griddle.
Waffles: Better butter and syrup traps.

Handling objections without sounding pushy
- Published in Monkey Puzzle Blog
The ability to elegantly handle objections is a key success strategy in the workplace. It is not easy to do though as the objections are often about things we care about - either at work or personally. Because we care about them (probably more than the other person) we are more likely to respond with our emotions rather than logic. Here are some ways to handle objections without arguing or getting defensive - and more likely to get you a good outcome.
