For Gucci's fall 2016 campaign, designer Alessandro Michele brought his muses—Petra Collins, Lia Pavlova, Polina Oganicheva, Mae Lapres, Sofia Friesen, Jack Chambers, Chistopher Paskowski, Joep Van de Sande, and Yan Kumra—all the way to Tokyo, Japan with his favorite photographer of the moment, Glen Luchford. (Last season's destination was Berlin.) In March, the motley crew embarked on a fantastical adventure around the shimmering city at night, traveling by dekotora bus (basically, a Japanese party bus) everywhere from a pachinko arcade to a traditional tea house. Here, Collins recounts her first time in the city.
Was it your first time in Tokyo?
Yeah it was my first time, and I'd been wanting to go for my entire life. It was crazy because we shot during the cherry blossom season. It was Tokyo at its literal best.
Why was it a place that you had dreamed about going?
It's so different from any other part of the world. Visually, it's so crazy because there's a mix of old and new. They're very aware of the city's aesthetic value, so they keep it up, but at the same time continue to advance all their technology. For example, when I got into a cab there, the cars look all vintage but the doors are automatic—and when you get inside there's lace on the seats. It just feels like another world that exists both in the past and the future. Visually, for me it's just so exciting.
Did you have any time to explore the city on your own when you weren't shooting?
Yeah I did! One of my good friends, India Menuez, was there just for fun. It was so crazy because I posted a photo on Instagram of her in cherry blossoms that I shot maybe two years ago, and she commented, "Dude, I'm there right now!" And I was like, "Wait! I'm there too!" When I had a day off, we went to see the cherry blossoms and then we went to this retro theme park called Hanayashiki. It's in the middle of the city and then we went to a temple around there. We also have friends in Japan who are artists, so we got to have that experience too. My friend Monika Mogi, who is an amazing photographer, was in town, too, so she took us around. I got to see how people really lived there, and then I also got to shoot this fantastical thing.
What was it like inside the arcade?
The pachinko parlor was the loudest place ever. It's like Vegas inside Disneyland. Very high energy. Instead of chips you have these little metal balls and there's so much texture going in. People are really intense about it.
Did you win any prizes?
No. I'm literally so bad.
And what about that crazy-looking bus?
Oh my god yeah, it was a real dekotora bus and the driver who decorated it was there. Inside it had all these little trinkets and toys. It was really fun pretending to drive it, but I didn't actually. The magic of film. Once it turns on, everyone gets really excited.
What was it like on set with Alessandro Michele? How does he inspire your own work?
Working with Alessandro is great. The first time I met him was at his studio in Milan when I was walking in the show. Going in there was just ... there are millions of rhinestones and fabrics and references. He really knows how to bring totally different things together to make something unique. A lot of his stuff could be inspired by the Renaissance or 70's disco or 90's punk. I think aesthetically, he just nails it. And his process really excites me.
What do you like about his Fall 2016 collection?
All of Alessandro's collections are what I want to wear to power dress. The dress that I'm wearing in the video made me feel so powerful and cool and also like myself. A few months ago at the Tribeca Film Festival, I wore one of his full long sleeve shirts with a matching skirt—like, my body was fully covered—but I've never felt more hot or sexy. I just felt so cool! That's what I love about the collection: it's redefining what sexy is. And I also like that it's interchangeable—men can wear the women's looks and women can wear the men's looks. It's super fluid and there's no start or end. You can mix and match all the patterns. Basically, it's like my dream collection!
And what was the last film you saw with subtitles?
I actually just saw this amazing movie called La Ciénaga. It was so great—really shocking and beautiful.

My New Favorite Website
Reliving my youth is one of my favorite activities. Mainly because now it doesn't seem nearly as painful and horrible as it did back then. I was a dramatic little 16-year-old, that's for sure. The easiest way to transport myself back to a simpler time is through music. I saw my friend Jordan post this Tumblr on Facebook, and I immediately felt like I was 16 again. The Tumblr is called 2000s Pop Punk, and it literally is a collection of all of my former favorite songs. Some songs I didn't even know I knew, but I found myself jamming along anyway.
So if you're anything like me and spent most of the 2000s locked in your bedroom being emo and having a lot of feelings, go ahead and relive the memories with me :)
You can't tell me you don't know every lyric to this song. Like, somehow the lyrics just crept into a corner of my brain and have lived there for years, even though I have no memory of ever having listened to this song before in my life.

This post is a mirror copy of the original in the HVPA Website
Tuesday, 12-April-2009.GAS WATCH 70. Letter to Cockfighter from local resident. Ed Larkin from Broke wrote to the last Cockfighter airing his concerns about a number of things which are worrying him, one of which was the "gas action group". He opened his concern by stating that "I would bet not one of you have jumped in the car and driven to Camden to inspect your so called eyesore" etc., etc.
On 7th February, 2008, Sydney Gas invited the community to inspect its Camden coal seam methane gas processing plant (see Google Earth image ). A number of community members attended the inspection and it was their unanimous view that we must continue our resistance to having such a plant built right next to our village ....

- Available in port: Nuuk
- View related excursions
Cultural history walk
Don't miss this opportunity to see some of the most interesting places in Greenland´s capital city of Nuuk! Join a sightseeing tour of the town before you visit the National Museum, providing a glimpse into Greenland's interesting past.
- Sightseeing tour in Nuuk
- See the famous Qilakitsoq mummies at the National Museum
- Visit Katuaq Cultural Centre
- See the city hall
Greenland's capital Nuuk is a city surrounded by awe-inspiring nature. The Greenlanders living here combine old traditions with modern twists and diverse influences. Nuuk is home to gourmet restaurants and fashion boutiques, but also "Brædtet", where the catch of the day includes seal and whale, and the picturesque Old Harbour where historical traditions remain strong.
We start the tour with a visit to the city hall. The building itself is not architecturally eminent, but it's worth going inside to see the impressive 1998 tapestry of Inuit life. We then continue to Katuaq, the cultural venue for all of Greenland. Katuaq is described as full of dreams in daytime and at night, acting like a magnetic field that draws people into the light. The gosamer Northern Lights, icebergs and play of light on ice and snow inspired the architecture.
Our last stop is the Greenland National Museum, located in historic buildings along the old colonial harbour with a fantastic view of the fjord. The exhibitions cover all facets of Greenlandic history dating back 4,500 years - from the first Arctic Stone Age cultures, the Norse settlements, and arrival of the Thule culture, ancestors of the present day Inuit, to Greenland´s gradual transition into a modern society. Also see the famous mummies and costumes from Qilakitsoq, as well as the world's oldest and almost intact skin boat, the Pearyland Umiaq, which is estimated to be more than 500 years old. The museum also features a large collection of Inuit transportation means, including full-scale skin boats and dog sledges, traditional clothes, and small time warps that provide a glimpse into the life and history of the recent colonial period.

Hot Lotto lottery game to end in October after 15 years
DES MOINES (AP) — Lottery players have cooled to the Hot Lotto game to the extent that officials who run the game are ending it.
Tickets for the $1 game, which has been around for 15 years, are sold in Iowa and 13 other states but Iowa Lottery officials say popularity has waned and the last drawing will be Oct. 28.
The game is similar to Powerball but odds of winning the jackpot are one in 29 million, much better than Powerball's odds of one in 292 million.
Iowa lottery officials say the decision to end the game isn't related to a 2010 fraud by a lottery vendor employee, Eddie Tipton, who has pleaded guilty to tampering with number-picking computers to predict winning numbers. They say lotteries routinely replace games with declining sales.

Reducing the size of the Pennsylvania Legislature raises interesting questions in these difficult economic times
Reducing the size of the Pennsylvania Legislature raises interesting questions in these difficult economic times. This year, legislators are more than two months behind schedule on their most important job of the year -- adopting a budget. In all of their futile attempts, the main topic of conversation has been cutting programs and services.
Are Pennsylvania's lawmakers ready to even consider an idea that could cost them their job?
Whenever changing the size of legislatures is considered, debate usually focuses on three major themes: representation, efficiency and cost. Those who like larger legislatures argue that the more members, the fewer the constituents per district. With fewer constituents a lawmaker is more likely to have face-to-face dealings with them. Proponents also argue that the oversight of administrative agencies is greater among larger legislatures and there is a more effective division of labor and specialization.
Supporters of smaller legislatures correctly argue that larger legislatures obviously cost more. They also argue that fewer legislators does not mean less responsive legislators. Using modern communications, a lawmaker can easily reach, and be reached by, many more constituents.
Nonetheless, it has long been true that Pennsylvania has the largest full-time legislature among the 50 states, so the results of a new report on legislative staffers is no surprise.
That is, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures, Pennsylvania has 2,919 legislative staffers to support the work of its 253 legislators. Just two years ago, New York was ahead but now it has 168 fewer staffers than Pennsylvania. Third-place California is behind us by 813 legislative employees, despite its significantly larger population.
The conference of legislatures, which tallied the number of staffers, is the same organization that last year reported Pennsylvania also was first in the percentage of its state budget that is spent on its legislature.
But, debate about reducing the size of legislatures, is not something that happens rarely; in some states it happens regularly. In Pennsylvania the idea generates conversations but no one has done anything.
Although some members last year proposed cutting the size of the Pennsylvania state house from 203 to 161 members and the state Senate from 50 to 40, that went the way of similar, failed efforts.
Changing the size of one or both chambers of a legislature (in other states) for reasons other than population changes last occurred in 2003.
The New York Senate increased its size from 61 to 62; the North Dakota Senate decreased its size from 49 to 47, and its House from 98 to 94.
In Rhode Island, voters passed a constitutional amendment reducing the Senate from 50 to 38 members and the House from 75 to 50, but all lawmakers' salaries increased.
In these difficult economic times the only talk of cutting Pennsylvania's $332-million-a-year Legislature is coming from frustrated citizens, some public-interest groups and Post-Gazette columnist Brian O'Neill.

Michelle was keen on getting the attention of the hot young cable guy who had come over to fix the cable (which was convieniently not working). She got a lot more than just his attention, however, when she showed off some nice lingerie and shoved those big busty tits right in his face! Looks like the cable guy got more than a handfull when he was nice and ready to get down and dirty with this tight busty milf! Seducing the cable guy: a long standing tradition in the milf community!

I second this.
Note: Been over an hour, no change. No notice. Although I'm getting emails confirming badges I'm getting for posting on this forum.
Maybe it's a study on the behavior of addicted gamers like me. XD

This just happened to me as well after winning the #1 spot o. My server in squad battles. Now I can't get back on. I too have invested a considerable amount of money into my game. What is going on??
There is nothing wrong with my connection either. All my other games work fine and I can browse the web just fine.
March 2016
Same here, but looking at the forum, there are a couple of posts stating this that were posted at about the same time. Server issues?
March 2016
Pretty fishy it happens right after the time the placement is calculated for squad arena.

When we first walked into these rooms we were strangers. Our guards were up. We were here for a purpose – a purpose known only by us. We said our names and told our stories, but handled it all with care. We were strangers. Who were these nine others with whom we would take this journey? Could they be trusted? Would they be friend or foe? These were strangers with whom we tread carefully.
Last night, these same individuals sat around wiping tears from our eyes as laughter filled the room. It had been this way all night. Sweet, sentimental tears followed by hearty laughter from deep within our bellies. We sit comfortably together in this little room, personal space long ago forgotten as with comfortable ease we lean on one another, reach over to touch a hand, or simply drape an arm over another in affection. Those who were missing were spoken of with love and the lack of their presence was felt as if a record kept skipping over a favorite part of a song.
As I sat perched in a corner chair with feet tucked under me in a posture of familiarity only adopted with good friends and family, my heart swelled even larger – though in truth I do not believe this to be possible much longer before my heart actually bursts.
We have laughed together till our sides and stomachs hurt, we have loved each other without question or judgment, we have worried for the health of one, have been anxious for the safety of another, and we have lowered our masks and allowed ourselves to be vulnerable for the betterment of all.
It is in these faces that a piece of me finds home. These faces….just over a year ago strangers, yet now family. Chosen for me by a Divine Appointer, I believe. Who else could have crafted such a group in which each person fills a specific role? For each of us has a role to play in this part of the journey….a friend, a confidant, a mother, a sister, a brother, a peace giver, a steady rock, or an encourager. Each a breath of life-giving air at exactly the correct moment in time.
It is in these faces I see reflected back the dream and hope of who I am and who I am becoming. They each realize in me something different than I see when I look in my own reflection; and each in their own way reflect their image of me back to myself.
Six short weeks, given in doses of two weeks each in six month stretches….and just like that this vaporous life moves on. Yet I am changed never to be the same.

B&S Pill Pull – $500
Race 3 (Davis): 5 Junior racers entries paid – $325
B&S Pill Pull – $500
Race 4 (Fresno): 5 Junior racers entries paid – $325
B&S Pill Pull – $500
Race 5 (Reno): 5 Junior racers entries paid – $325
B&S Pill Pull – $500
*The winners of the free Junior entries will be selected randomly before the end of each event and paid out.
*The Briggs Pill Pull will work similar to last year. Example: The winner of the selected Senior class will pull a number. If there is 10 entries and the winner picks number 4, 4th through 8th will receive $100 each.

The enormous impact that containers have had on modern software development is starting to produce new ways of thinking about application development, as developers start to see new openings for faster and more reliable development. Two different (yet related) concepts that have emerged are microservices, or dividing an app into independent parts that can be deployed anywhere, and serverless computing, which involves transforming application components into functions that are triggered by events, such as spikes in demand.
During the serverless and microservices technical track at our GeekWire Cloud Tech Summit last month, we invited several experts in these topics — Charity Majors, CEO of Honeycomb; Nancy Gohring, senior analyst at 451 Research; and Bob Wise, CTO of Samsung's Cloud Native Computing Team — to explain how these concepts are put into place inside development organizations, and where they might be headed. Rahul Singh, CEO of Distelli, also spoke during this track but technical difficulties hampered the production of the video of this talk; you can read more about Rahul and Distelli here.
Nancy Gohring, 451 Research
Gohring set the stage for the serverless track with a few real-world stats, pointing out that all of this technology is very new when it comes to production usage. Containers are the gateway drug for serverless and microservices technologies, but only about a quarter of respondents to a 451 Research survey are using containers in production, while 22 percent of respondents were using serverless technologies.
Bob Wise, Samsung
Like cloud computing in general, organizations tend to dip their toes into microservices architectures as they develop new applications, Wise said. But if you're interested in adapting your applications to take advantage of microservices, "make sure your fundamentals are ready," he said, referring to the principles of agile software development.
Charity Majors, Honeycomb
Majors presented a strong case why the metrics you're using to evaluate your software development efficiency just don't work anymore as you switch into microservices architectures. She also pointed out that monitoring is everybody's job these days in a DevOps world, but that doesn't mean everyone has to be paged if something minor gets slightly out of line.

Clegg moves to take over rest of New Image and delist
New Image Group chairman Graeme Clegg is moving to take the colostrum-based health tonic maker private, saying a sharemarket listing no longer makes sense for the company.
On the same day the company disclosed the bid it announced the resignation of chief financial officer Murray Page, who was hailed as a talented individual at the annual meeting last November.
New Image Trustee Ltd, a company controlled by Mr Clegg, is offering 26 cents a share. The offer, which closes on March 29, is subject to a number of conditions, including acceptances of 90 percent, which triggers compulsory acquisition.
In October, Mr Clegg announced the purchase of a 10.1 percent stake held by HWM (NZ), formerly known as Huljich Wealth Management, in two steps to avoid having to make a full takeover. The price was 26 cents a share.
The share price fell 3.7 percent to 26 cents after the full takeover was announced.
Independent directors Max Parkin and Nigel Sinclair are advising shareholders to take no action while they appoint an independent adviser. Shareholders will receive a target statement as required under the Takeovers Code.
The company was originally listed 13 years ago. Mr Clegg says in the takeover documents that a listing on the New Zealand stock exchange no longer made sense.
"In simple terms, New Image has no need for further capital, is too small, has too few shareholders, and its shares traded too infrequently for it to remain as a listed vehicle."
The offer values the company at $61.1 million.

text: Electronic health records have significantly contributed to improved clinician productivity, information exchange, and an overall improvement in the quality of care. However, the rise in the adoption of EHR technology hasn't been without negative consequences. Just last year healthcare leaders of some of the nation's top healthcare organizations, health systems, hospitals, and physician practices called on healthcare CEOs to address physician burnout as the high level of burnout "should be considered an early warning sign of dysfunction in our health care system."

8 FLIGHT. JANUARY 5, 1939 CORRESPONDENCE ' The Editor does not hold himself responsible for the views expressed by correspondents. The names and addresses of the writers, not necessarily for publication, must in all cases accompany letters. WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE? Another Voice in the C.A.G. Chorus T HAVE just read the article "C.A.G. Heart-Cry" [Flight, -L December 2y], and I can endorse the sentiments expressed. I was one of the first to join and to start flying. I went solo after six hours dual and have had eight hours solo since my " A"—the tests for which I thought extremely simple and passed correctly on the first attempt. Wnat is my position now ? I am eager to learn all I possibly can both on and above the ground. We have had no ground instruction and although I poke my nose in the hangars whenever the mechanics are inclined to talk. I find it difficult to learn anything really useful. In desperation I joined a newly formed class (at the local municipal college) for Air Navigation (A.2). Although I am progressing quite well, according to the instructor, I find that this is all useless to me unless I go for a "B," for which I have neither the time nor money. I have endeavoured to practice short cross-country trips in good weather, but, apart from one memorable Sunday morning when I had a 'plane for 45 minutes, the longest I am allowed up is 20 minutes, and I have now explored every inch of neigh bouring country within 20 miles. I would add, incidentally, that some five years ago (I am now 26) I applied first for the R.A.F. short-service commission and then for a Stores Branch commission, but was refused each time, for what reason I cannot imagine and could never find out. It was not a question of fitness, because I never got so far as the medical. I suppose I must be thankful that I got into the air at all at 5s. an hour—but I do wish I could be put to something really useful and equip myself for this ever-discussed emergency. ANOTHER C.A.G. Hants. INFORMATION ON ICE FORMATION Help Sought AT present I am working upon a new de-icing system for the induction and aerofoils of aircraft. I find it extremely diffi cult, however, to obtain from pilots reliable information as to icing conditions. Would you, therefore, allow me to 'appeal through the medium of your paper for this necessary information ? ., I should be extremely grateful if any readers having experi ence of the following conditions would enlighten me [c/o the Editor] as to their effect on the stability of the aeroplane aerodynamically and on the efficiency of the induction system. (1) Ice formation at high altitude: Its effect, by extra load ing of the aerofoils, on the stability of the machine. Also the sequence of events (if any) in the induction system, owing to ice formation in the air intake, etc. (2) Ice formation at low altitude in cumulus clouds: The effect of air currents on the rate of formation, and the chief centres of formation such as wings, tail, rudder, etc. (3) I should particularly like information as to ice accretion due to rain freezing: The height at which freezing was first noticed, height lost, rate of loss of height, and further action taken by the pilot to rectify this condition.^ (4) If any of your readers have experience of loss of D/F facilities due to ice accretion around the R/T aerial I should jt grateful to have their information. Becksnham, Kent. FREDERICK W. WEST. FLAPS Back to Beginnings I AM sorry to see Mr. H. A. Tajdor making such a sweeping and, I am afraid, inaccurate statement in the opening words of his article on flaps in Flight of December 15. He says that '' from the very earliest days of flying increase of performance has only been obtained through an increase in wing loading." Even 1 can remember days when it was necessary to keep the wing loading down in order to perform at all, and when it would have been truer to say that increased performance was obtained mainly by lighter engines. It is true that top speed and loading have gone up hand in hand, but misleading to suggest that loading is the only factor; it is but one of many. I am sorry to quarrel further with Mr. Taylor, but he says that Schrenk invented the split flap. Actually Orville Wright and J. M. H. Jacobs invented it in 1921, and it was patented in Britain by the Dayton Wright company. In 1932 Gruschwitz FLOATPLANE BOMBER : France, for many years, has favoured the floatplane bomber. With a view to replacing the obsolescent types now in service she is testing this Marcel Bloch 480 at Marignane, near Marseilles. The engines are Gnome-Rhone 14N0 two-row radials, very carefully cowled. and Schrenk published results of wind tunnel pressure-plotting tests with a split flap, and it is apparently through this work that Schrenk's name became associated with the flap. Gruschwitz's name was apparently too much of a mouthful and Wright and Jacobs too prosaic, so the highbrows picked on Schrenk as sounding classy—though grossly unfair to Orville Wright and Jacobs. Edgware, Middlesex. W. E. GRAY. HALF A ROLL . . . Or, Why is a Moth When it Spins? T^LYING training at my club is carried out on Gipsy Moths *• which are about six or seven years old. All but one are fitted with slots, and in consequence all the spins are done on the unslotted version. Is there any theoretical reason why that machine shouldn't be safe for slow rolls and flick half-rolls ? I ask this because although the mechanics and some instructors nearly have apoplexy if one mentions rolling these machines, I have not as yet heard any reasons, other than their age, to substantiate this attitude. Perhaps someone would be kind enough to explain, simply, the difference in loading between, say, a spin and a flick half-roll, or a slow roll. C.A.G. 811. Middlesex. WAR-TIME MEMORIES —Bui a Squadron Number Forgotten I HAVE recently been reading in your issue of September 8 about No. 42 Squadron, R.F.C., and I have found it very interesting to recall the old days thus brought to mind. As an ex-Flying Officer (observer) of those days in 1917, I cannot agree with the writer that in any shape or form could the bomber squadrons in France be described as carrying out their job in more depressing circumstances than the fighters. I was stationed at Ack, five miles from Arras, for several months and at the time of my return to England had the highest total of flying hours over the line. I wonder how many of the "boys" of my squadron are now alive. We used, I remember, to consider that the average life of a pilot or observer was about three weeks. I don't suppose there was ever a machine so ready to break its undercarriage on landing as the old R.E.8—and how often that would mean crawling out upside down ! Someone may be able to tell me the number of my squadron. I have quite forgotten. FRANK B. WHITTAKER. Clifton, Bristol. IN BRIEF Mr. R. Poulfer, of the Meteorological Office, R.A.E., South Farnborough, Hants, wishes to get into touch with the pilot of an aircraft which passed to the south of Farnborough at 10.15 a.m. on November 29 last, flying rather high on an E.—W. course. "The machine," says Mr. Poulter, "left a lorj, straight line of cloud after it."

Have ever eaten a Sour Punk or the sour worms you get in candy stores? No, then you have no idea what I am talking about when I say the word tang. The gummy worms are so sour that your teeth will go numb. This tart could have been that but it isn't - infact it's the tartiest tart you'd have ever tasted.
But here's what brilliant about this tart - the sweet pastry crust and the candied peels contrast so beautifully with the Kumquat cream that you're instantly transported to another place. What's a kumquat you ask? It's also known as a chinese orange and is tart as tart can be with a beautiful supple skin that just peels off and is super bitter too. I got a bagful of the good stuff the other day from Deeba who was also gave me some of her lovely Kumquat marmalade. And ever since I saw those mini oranges, I have been dying to make something.
A couple of years ago when I first got Dorie Greenspan's Baking from My Home to Yours, one of the first recipe's I had ever tried was of the Fresh Lemon Cream tart. I thought that the kumquats would work wonderfully in that recipe.The lemon cream has the same ingredients as a lemon curd - lemon, sugar, eggs and butter but the the way it's treated - heated and then blended like mayo with butter to make an emulsion is what makes all the difference.
Because the result is a brilliant tangy melt in the mouth cream that you just can't stop licking the whisk or the spatula or the spoon. I made minor substitutions for the kumquat and made only half the recipe. And don't worry about the candy thermometer, I didn't have one, I just relied on my instinct and it came out fine. I also used a little bit of Deeba's marmalade in the base to make it more-orangey. And then candied some the kumquats just to add another element to it.
The candying took the least amount of time. But here's what I suggest - make the tart dough and freeze and then go about making the Kumquat cream. It'll save you time and it will be in your hands when you'd like to assemble the tart. Also I know that the recipe seems really long, but bear with me, because it will be worth every single minute of the extra time you've spent reading it.
This short crust pastry is my favourite and I totally totally love it. And it really doesn't shrink much, which I think is the best part. Also whether its lemon, tangerine, orange, grapefruit or kumquat, this cream is worth every bite.
Kumquat Cream Tart with candied peels
Adapted from Dorie Greenspan's Baking: From My Home to Yours. Available in India, US and UK
For the kumquat cream
½ cup sugar
Finely grated zest of 2 kumquats
2 large eggs
1/3 cup freshly squeezed kumquat juice
150 grams butter
Getting ready: Have a thermometer, preferably an instant-read, a strainer and a blender (first choice) or food processor at the ready. Bring a few inches of water to a simmer in a saucepan.
1. Put the sugar and zest in a large metal bowl that can be fitted into the pan of simmering water. Off heat, work the sugar and zest together between your fingers until the sugar is moist, grainy and very aromatic. Whisk in the eggs followed by the kumquat juice.
2. Fit the bowl into the pan (make certain the water doesn't touch the bottom of the bowl) and cook, stirring with the whisk as soon as the mixture feels tepid to the touch. You want to cook the cream until it reaches 180°F. As you whisk the cream over heat—and you must whisk constantly to keep the eggs from scrambling—you'll see that the cream will start out light and foamy, then the bubbles will get bigger, and then, as the cream is getting closer to 180°F, it will start to thicken and the whisk will leave tracks. Heads up at this point—the tracks mean the cream is almost ready. Don't stop whisking and don't stop checking the temperature. And have patience—depending on how much heat you're giving the cream, getting to temp can take as long as 10 minutes.
3.As soon as you reach 180°F, pull the cream from the heat and strain it into the container of a blender (or food processor); discard the zest. Let the cream rest at room temperature, stirring occasionally, until it cools to 140°F, about 10 minutes.
4. Turn the blender to high and, with the machine going, add about 5 pieces of butter at a time. Scrape down the sides of the container as needed while you're incorporating the butter. Once the butter is in, keep the machine going—to get the perfect light, airy texture of lemon-cream dreams, you must continue to beat the cream for another 3 minutes. If your machine protests and gets a bit too hot, work in 1-minute intervals, giving the machine a little rest between beats.
5. Pour the cream into a container, press a piece of plastic wrap against the surface to create an airtight seal and chill the cream for at least 4 hours or overnight. When you are ready to construct the tart, just whisk the cream to loosen it and spoon it into the tart shell.
Storing: While you can make the lemon cream ahead (it will keep in the frige for 4 days and in the freezer for up to 2 months), once the tart is constructed, it's best to eat it the day it is made
For the sweet crust pastry
Makes enough for one 9-inch tart crust
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup confectioner's sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 stick plus 1 tablespoon (9 tablespoons; 4 1/2 ounces) very cold (or frozen) unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1 large egg*
1. Pulse the flour, sugar and salt together in the bowl of a food processor. Scatter the pieces of butter over the dry ingredients and pulse until the butter is coarsely cut in. (You're looking for some pieces the size of oatmeal flakes and some the size of peas.) Stir the yolk, just to break it up, and add it a little at a time, pulsing after each addition. When the egg is in, process in long pulses–about 10 seconds each–until the dough, which will look granular soon after the egg is added, forms clumps and curds. Just before you reach this stage, the sound of the machine working the dough will change–heads up. Turn the dough out onto a work surface and, very lightly and sparingly, knead the dough just to incorporate any dry ingredients that might have escaped mixing. Chill the dough, wrapped in plastic, for about 2 hours before rolling.
2. To roll the dough: Butter a 9-inch fluted tart pan with a removable bottom. Roll out chilled dough on floured sheet of parchment paper to 12-inch round, lifting and turning dough occasionally to free from paper. (Alternately, you can roll this out between two pieces of plastic, though flour the dough a bit anyway.) Using paper as aid, turn dough into 9-inch-diameter tart pan with removable bottom; peel off paper. Seal any cracks in dough. Trim overhang to 1/2 inch. Fold overhang in, making double-thick sides. Pierce crust all over with fork.
Alternately, you can press the dough in as soon as it is processed: Press it evenly across the bottom and up the sides of the tart shell. You want to press hard enough that the pieces cling to one another, but not so hard that it loses its crumbly texture.
3. Freeze the crust for at least 30 minutes, preferably longer, before baking.
4. To fully or partially bake the crust: Center a rack in the oven and preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Butter the shiny side of a piece of aluminum foil (or use nonstick foil) and fit the foil, buttered side down, tightly against the crust. And here is the very best part: Since you froze the crust, you can bake it without weights. Put the tart pan on a baking sheet and bake the crust for 20 to 25 minutes.
5. Carefully remove the foil. If the crust has puffed, press it down gently with the back of a spoon. Bake the crust about 10 minutes longer to fully bake it, or until it is firm and golden brown, brown being the important word: a pale crust doesn't have a lot of flavor. (To partially bake it, only an additional 5 minutes is needed.) Transfer the pan to a rack and cool the crust to room temperature, and proceed with the rest of your recipe.
Do ahead: The dough can be wrapped and kept in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or frozen for up to 2 months. While the fully baked crust can be packed airtight and frozen for up to 2 months, the flavor will be fresher bake it directly from the freezer, already rolled out.
For the candied peels
1 cup kumquats cut into half
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
Pinch of salt
1. Remove the seeds from the kumquats and keep aside.
2. Bring the sugar, water and salt to a rolling boil and then throw in the kumquats
3. Let it boil for 10 minutes or until the colour changes of the sugar. When that happens immediately pour strain the fruit and put it on to a butter paper.
4. Let it rest for 15 minutes and then you can store it for up to a month
1. Take the baked pie crust and apply a tsp of the Kumquat marmalade
2. Spoon in the kumquat cream
3. And finally arrange the candied kumquat on top.
Serving: The tart should be served cold, because it is a particular pleasure to have the cold cream melt in your mouth.

This year, the day that we've all collectively chosen to celebrate love falls on a Tuesday. A Tuesday! Do you know what's romantic about a Tuesday? Nothing.
It's not like Monday, a day of passion where you bitch about the upcoming work week and reminisce about the weekend past. It's not Thursday, with that day's frenetic excitement (Tomorrow's Friday!) It's not even hump day, which, you know...
Nope. Tuesday is just Tuesday. So you have to work harder than usual to pump romance into Valentine's Day this year. Luckily for you I've made a game plan.
Start with stuffed French toast. This quicker-than-you'd-expect breakfast is as easy as searing off a grilled cheese. Except there's no cheese. Instead, the almond butter–banana filling is hearty and delicious and—dare I say it—kind of sexy. Make one big sandwich, slice it down the middle, hand half to your lover, and say "I love sharing my mornings with you." Boom. You just won V-Day morning.
Next up: lunch. This being a Tuesday and all, you probably won't be able to meet your lover for a luxurious three-course nooner. So, instead, top these chocolate candy coins with whatever nuts, dried fruit, or spices your lover loves, and secretly pack them away in his/her bag.
Once you two are finally reunited, get the evening started with a cocktail. This one packs the aphrodisiacal powers of ginger and honey, plus heady cardamom, coriander, cinnamon. It's so good, you could even leave out the rum. Also, you can make it at least a week in advance and then heat it up whenever you're ready to...well, heat it up.
When it comes time to make dinner, try this classic French dish that has what's probably the sexiest name for any chicken dish ever.
Or go with shrimp! This curry is rich but light, fast but flavorful, spicy but sweet. Oh, and also, the website Eat Something Sexy says shrimp is (in-the)-mood boosting, so this recipe is totally Valentine's Day ready.
End the night on a retro note by upgrading that classic—usually clichéd—V-Day dessert, chocolate-dipped strawberries. Here, pulverized, freeze-dried strawberries give the out-of-season fruit a playful boost of sweet flavor. See? With a little ingenuity, anything can be romantic. Even a Tuesday.

Where else to shop in Bathurst but Anni Down's shop - The Home Patch!!
Where else to meet up with fellow quilting bloggers - The Home Patch!!
Me with Alison (non blogger), Chookyblue and Kate-Show & Tell
And one with Sandy - Patchwork Angel
Deb & Khris were doing a Punchneedle class with Anni so we gatecrashed the classroom to say hello!
The Home Patch is such a beautiful shop - with so much fabric and other goodies in every nook and cranny - I am sure you can't take it all in in one visit!
And outside is just as lovely - it is a really old building that has such character..
After some serious shopping by us all we headed into town to Crepes Royale - for an extremely delicious lunch!
Funny......I didn't get any pics of the main course..........just dessert LOL
Now, for those who know me, know that i have said I will not start doing Hexagons/ Paper Piecing. Don't get me wrong, it is not that I don't like it, it is because it is just another thing that I don't want to start and not finish LOL
When I was in Brisbane for the retreat last month one of the patchwork shops gave us a sample pack of hexagons in our bags. So I took this to show Chookyblue, for a joke as she introduced me to Sue Daley (queen of paper piecing) at the Craft show as someone who refuse to do hexies LOL so of course she had to show me how to put them together.
So everyone, here is the proof - Anita doing Hexies!!
But just so you know - I haven't been "sucked into the hexie vortex"...........well not yet anyway hehe!!
If you want to see some more pics of our fantastic day go visit the other girl's blogs...........they of course had their posts up on their blogs within a day or 2 of going. Me - well it took me almost a week !!
Thanks girls for a great day - it is amazing how the internet brings us all together. I was so glad we got to meet, love how we meet for the first time and we get on like old friends, like we have known each other for ever. Can't wait until next time!!!!

By Zineb Kobi
The true passion of Zineb is the positive psychology or the science that explains happiness!
Happy in your Firm?
"I decided to be happy because it is good for health." Voltaire
During the different discussions of recruitment which I organise, a question often returns: how to make a success of my next work experience in firm?
In this question which seems rather simple, I offer you an answer rather complicated: Be happy!
Let's begin our sales talk with an extract of a film which I love!
It is about «Me seedy and malicious». As I am in good spirits, I share with you a small extract.
You will point out by looking at this video that Gru is, for time, in a good mood.
He feels positive emotions. Suddenly, he « connected " with different persons throughout his itinerary.
If I tell you about this extract, it is because it illustrates perfectly the theory of widening and of building of positive emotions worked out by the teacher of psychology and of neuroscience to the University of North Carolina, Barbara L. Fredrickson.
For her, positive emotions play a very important role in the evolution of the human being.
Contrary to negative emotions which launch the single type of reaction, positive emotions enlarge our directory of actions. And by enlarging our field of possibles, they improve our creativity, our relations with others and develop our psychological resources.
They augment as a result our aptitude to succeed.
More precisely, Barbara L. Fredrickson identified 10 positive emotions: joy, love, thankfulness, admiration, inspiration, serenity, interest, hope, pride and entertainment. The problem of positive emotions it is because they are rather discreet. They don't "howl " as anger or fright. They whisper and can therefore pass easily unobserved.
This especially since it had to bloom, according to the «ratio of positivity» to define, to feel on average 3 positive emotions for 1 negative emotion.
Here is link to test your own ratio: www.positivityratio.com
Suddenly, it is necessary to "help « these positive emotions to express himself, to be less timid. Here are 3 catalysts of positive emotions which you can introduce easily into your daily life:
- Do some sports regularly:
A study performed by researchers of Harvard on link between sports and depression points out that the practice of a regular physical activity can be in certain cases a very good substitute in anti dépresseurs.
- Express his recognition:
You can hold a newspaper of thankfulness or share with your family the pleasant times of your day. There also, I orientate you to a study accomplished by researchers of the university of Berkeley, you will see, conclusions are surprising!
- Take his time:
I recommend you a very good book on subject: SLOWNESS INSTRUCTIONS of Carl Honoré. If you have no time to read, here is Ted Talk.
I end, with a last study, it is promised! This one will give you even more desire to be happy.
For Sonja Lyubomirski, teacher of psychology to the university of California, Riverside, there is a link between success and happiness of which you don't think spontaneously.
Positive emotions return you more cancel by improving your capacity to rebound after a failure. Besides, they make you more creative and allow you to have innovative ideas. They allow you to stronger social links, to create a solid network on which you can lean Only this!
Then, dear readers, done some sports, express your recognition and take your time, you will be happier and you will succeed more!

I now know that there is a qualitative difference in reading about teenage boys being mauled by a bear in Alaska when you yourself actually have a teenage boy in Alaska. Even though I learned about this horrific incident after I had spoken to the teenager from Anchorage Airport while he waited for his plane to board, I spent the whole day troubled and distracted, a sinking feeling inside that I just couldn't shake, as if he were still in some kind of imminent danger.
Thirty days ago, I said to him, "Don't get killed by a bear," and he smirked and said, "I won't," and then he walked down the Alaska Air jet way and I watched his lanky 16-year-old self until I couldn't see him anymore. And then I drove home hoping what he told me was true.
Months ago, there was a little joke that emerged when I was making his flight arrangements, between me and the airline representative. I was asking her how close the gates would be on his connecting flight and she said there was no way of knowing and, yes, he might have to ride the tram. I remember saying glibly, "Well, if he can't figure out how to get from one plane to another, he probably has no business going on a wilderness trip in the first place." We both laughed, maybe a little harder than we needed to, because we both knew that it's so much easier to worry about things like trams and gate proximity than it is to worry about placing your beloved little speck of humanity into the unpredictable wiles of nature.
"What about bears?" I had asked the trip organizers a week before his departure.
"We have bear safety sessions," the woman assured me. The kids go through a whole day of training on how to handle (and avoid) bear encounters. "What about earthquakes?" I'd asked her. "Lightening storms? Tsunamis?" I could feel my anxieties tumbling out of me like a water main break, but I really had no control of myself. The woman was able to address every one of my concerns and was actually doing a fairly good job of calming me down until I asked her about radioactivity from the nuclear disaster in Japan. "Should I be worrying about that?" I asked.
"No," she said, and I could tell by the tone of her voice that it was time for me to stop.
The first report I read about the bear attack was early on Monday morning. Seven boys on a wilderness trip were backpacking without instructors as part of their leadership training. They were walking across a river when the bear attacked. The first two boys in line were mauled and, according to The Guardian, suffered "life-threatening injuries." Two more boys were injured badly and everyone ended up in the hospital.
After I read the news, I went to meet some friends for tennis. (I try to stay occupied on the days the teenager is flying.) "Should I tell the teenager about the bear attack?" I asked one of the women. I always regard her as a mommy mentor.
"He'll know about it," she said. "He'll hear about it in the news."
"He may not, he'll have been on a plane all day," I said.
Her advice was to wait until he brought it up himself. "Then you can reassure him," she said.
Reassure him?
She said I should tell him how sad I am about what happened to the boys but how I know nothing like that will ever happen to him. The other women nodded in agreement. I was completely dumbfounded. "I shouldn't tell him how freaked out I am?" I said.
"No! You should absorb that fear yourself. Don't share it. You don't want him to be scared, do you?"
Well, yes. That's exactly what I want. I want him to think: Wow, bears are out there ready to rip people to shreds, maybe a nice hotel vacation with black mold and bed bugs would be a more prudent journey next year.
I remember once being rational like my tennis friend, but that seems like another lifetime ago.
I'm not sure who brought up the subject, him or me, but the bear was discussed long before my son and I arrived home from the airport. "Those kids were attacked just a few miles from where we camped," my son told me.
"How many miles?" I said.
Maybe because Alaska is so vast and such a paean to wildlife, four miles from a bear seems like nothing. It seems like having a bear in your bathroom. Having him in the shower with you. I tried to wrap my mind around what my son was telling me, which was basically, that my month-long mantra, "he won't be attacked by a bear," was successful merely because of dumb luck.
I expected to hear some horror in his voice, but the teenager spoke about the incident with uncharacteristic admiration. "Those kids were highly trained to deal with bears," he said.
"Maybe not so much," I said.
"Mom, they fought off a bear. The five other kids got the bear to leave. That's amazing. If it was our group, we would have died. I promise."
The words tumbled from him as casually as if he were reading a grocery list. Then in the next breath he began to tell me about the wilderness trip he wants to take next year.

Hi Friends! It's been almost two months since my last post!! Time just flies, doesn't it?? Things are good here....except for maybe being just a bit too hot and humid! I enjoy my air conditioning, that's for sure!!
We recently took a short trip to Pigeon Forge, Tennessee...it was so fun! We went zip lining and rode an Alpine Coaster, saw a comedy show, hiked a little bit in the Great Smoky Mountain National Park...it was just beautiful!
Here we are all decked out in our zip lining gear. This was the first time for both of us, but we'll do it again if we get the chance!!
I am so thankful for the wonderful friends I've met through quilting all over the country. I met Lynn at a quilt retreat in Pennsylvania and we seemed to hit it off quite nicely! She recently was vacationing with her family in Williamsburg and we were able to meet up for lunch. It was so nice to catch up with her...can't wait to see her again at retreat in January!!
On the quilting side of things...I'm plugging along with my ongoing projects...this is Buttermilk Basin's Block of the Month. My mom is doing this one too, it's so fun to see her progress and she's loving her (re)new found love of wool applique. :)
I also signed up for Primitive Gatherings block of the week...here are the first four weeks. The quilt will have a "crazy quilt" look when finished...we've had a few sneak peeks and it's a-maz-ing!
I also had two LARGE custom tshirt quilts to do...
I was glad to have this big job finished, and I know the tshirt owner will be very pleased!
I started a new quilt that will be a gift...this block is the disappearing hourglass (tutorial from Missouri Star Quilt Company). It is pretty simple and easy to assemble. I actually have all but 9 of the blocks sewn together...so more pics will come soon of the finished quilt top.
Oh and one more finish...this winter table mat from Primitive Gatherings. I love it!!
Hope you all are having a wonderful summer...enjoy it while you can, it'll be over before we know it!
Happy Quilting!

Jolla has shown off its SailFish smartphone operating system for the first time in a pair of videos.
SailFish is heavily based on Nokia's MeeGo OS, an open source platform that was abandoned by the Finnish company when it decided to concentrate on creating Windows mobile phones. Jolla, also based in Finland, was started by several ex-Nokia employees, and aims to bring SailFish out at some point in 2013.
The first video is a slick teaser for SailFish showing off a clean interface and app multitasking (there are four apps running on-screen), and interestingly there's a glimpse of an Android logo in there. The suggestion is that SailFish will run some Android apps (SailFish, like Android, is based on Linux).
The second is a hands-on video that delves into the multitasking a little more, showing several apps running at once on a single screen, and the ability to interact with these apps without going into them directly. For instance, users will be able to play, pause and skip tracks from the music player's small icon; there'll be no need to go into the full app to do so.
The video shows the OS running on a Nokia N950, but Jolla has yet to reveal details of SailFish hardware.
Do you think SailFish has a chance to carve itself a niche in the already-crowded smartphone market? Let us know your thoughts on the matter via the Trusted Reviews Twitter and Facebook feeds or through the comments below.

Plastic Fishing Boat, Amsterdam, the Netherlands (credit: Plastic Whale)
Concerns about ocean plastic pollution can take many forms, from international reports to individual actions.
An innovative young Dutch company, Plastic Whale, offers boating excursions through the canals of Amsterdam to fish for plastic. The company started when challenged to build a single boat made from discarded waste plastic. They haven't stopped since in their mission to make the city's famous canals plastic-free and create value from the gathered garbage. So far, Plastic Whale has:
recruited 3000 people to join their fishing trips; removed 35,000 plastic bottles from the canals; filled 560 bags with discarded plastic waste; and built 7 boats from the collected trash.
The Company says: "we don't like talking about the problem too much but rather working on the solution by creating cool products from plastic waste. The more people who join in, the more positive impact we create, and we want to go global."
Plastic Whale eventually wants to go 'out of business' by overfishing their raw material from canals and elsewhere. It appears they are also having a good time in the process.

Here is the Easter Bunny's spread for Kendall this year. Last year she was only a cpl months old, so she didn't get to enjoy it much. I headed to my office and busted out the monogramming machine to detail some of these Easter finds. I was pretty pleased with how the apron and the hooded beach towel turned out!
Here is a closer peek into Kendall's basket. There's certainly an abundance of goodies in there but since she is 14 months old and doesn't eat candy treats, we had to go with items that work for her age. You know I got them all at great prices, so I'll detail that down below in the FYI.
How cute is this basket??? I love how her monogram is on the grograin and you can't see in this picture, but the basket has the cutest hot pink lining inside.
You can't really see it because it is folded up so small, but tucked in her basket is this sweet pinwheel dress. I found it on etsy at such a good price and the colors and this fabric saw me right to the checkout screen. I am really excited to put K in some fun spring summer dresses as soon as weather permits (ugh, certainly not LAST week.....brrrr!)
When I was pregnant with K, I became obsessed with monogrammed items for her (who, me??). So, what is a pregnant girl who is nesting with lots of time on her hands in the evening (I couldn't exercise per doc's orders) to do???? Monogram! Yes, ladies and gentleman, I went out and bought a monogramming machine. It's FUN (when you're in the mood for it)...... Though I don't have as much time on my hands now, I still like to use the machine when I can. The weekends (when Daddy is home to help with K) are good days for monogramming.

Paul Greengrass ("United 93," "The Bourne Supremacy") is next set to direct a movie he has written about a Norwegian terrorist which Netflix has just won the rights to.
The killer in question was Anders Behring Breivik, a self-described right-wing Christian extremist with a hatred for Muslims and liberalism, who murdered 77 people in 2011 in the country's deadliest attack since WWII.
Scott Rudin will produce the $20 million budget film with Greg Goodman and Eli Bush. Shooting will take place in Norway starting this Fall.
