Lots of good links from this article, so I have given it a separate posting.
Lots of good links from this article, so I have given it a separate posting.
It will make a great film. Allegedly, a security guard smuggles Belgian hackers into a Japanese bank in London. They installed cloning software to steal passwords, then returned at night to try to transfer money into bank accounts elsewhere in the world.
This isnt really crime, but its such a different take on things that I feel like including it on the blog for general interest.
EU aid to Melarus, ukraine and Moldova to fight human trafficking, corruption and smuggling achieving little, Court of Auditors say.
Article from The Observer magazine that argues that the Mafia in the US is in terminal decline. Except that the author covers himself right at the end. he may only be talking about the Gotti family and the credit crunch may re-empower the loan shark. Worth a read to tease out the arguments, though.
Article in Independent arguing that burglary robbery up significantly in UK in final four months of year, according to individual constabulary figures. The size of the increase suggests another change in methodology has occurred, but the Indy insists it's the credit crunch. When interviewed, police spokespersons disagreed.
This is the Schengen Information System II. Plagued by idiots who believe IT salesmen and try to get it to do too much! This article mentions some of the specific problems, but there are a number of others. These deal primarily with the compatibility of Member States hardware and software systems, but there are legal problems too. But one suspects that somehow, there will be a way of fudging through.
Solano Cortez Jorge, suspected Colombian drug smuggler to be extradited to US. He and seven others arrested last October. 500K of cocaine allegedly seized. West Africa has become part of the smuggling network in recent years.
New York Times piece on fraudsters trying to con homeowners into paying money to avoid foreclosure…which doesnt avoid it at all. There are, apparently legitimate cpm[anies in this sector…and total scammers. Surprise, surprise, the sector isnt properly regulated. Coming across the Atlantic soon, if not here already.

For professional organizer Maggie McDonald, moving her family into a new home should be the perfect organizational challenge. But murder was definitely not on the to-do list . . .
Maggie McDonald has a penchant for order that isn't confined to her clients' closets, kitchens, and sock drawers. As she lays out her plan to transfer her family to the hundred-year-old house her husband, Max, has inherited in the hills above Silicon Valley, she has every expectation for their new life to fall neatly into place. But as the family bounces up the driveway of their new home, she's shocked to discover the house's dilapidated condition. When her husband finds the caretaker face-down in their new basement, it's the detectives who end up moving in. What a mess! While the investigation unravels and the family camps out in a barn, a killer remains at large-exactly the sort of loose end Maggie can't help but clean up . . .
My Comments: Interesting concept—a professional organizer moving into a mess! Not only a mess, but a murdered body! Great beginning to what looks to be an engaging series! Thank you Ms. Feliz, this was a delightful read.

Roof structures aren't limited to just tiles and slates.
Adjoining abutments such as parapet walls and chimney stacks also require frequent maintenance to ensure your roof remains free of leaks and damp penetration.
The most common cause of damp internal walls can be due to poor quality of pointing between the bricks of chimney and parapet wall structures. Another common cause is due to cracked or blown render. Have the quality of your pointing and render checked for free by calling us for an assessment.
If you're already experiencing damp ingress, contact us for a free quote.

Exposed: The Truth about Fruit Cocktail
So glad that one of our great American poets has finally tackled the mystery of that sweet American horror….
Fruit Cocktail in Light Syrup
Rocket-shaped popsicles that dyed your lips blue
were popular when I was a kid. That era got labeled
"the space age" in honor of some longed-for,
supersonic, utopian future. Another food of my
youth was candy corn, mostly seen on Halloween.
With its striped triangular "kernels" made
of sugar, wax and corn syrup, candy corn
was a nostalgic treat, harkening back to days
when humans grew, rather than manufactured,
food. But what was fruit cocktail's secret
meaning? It glistened as though varnished.
Faint of taste and watery, it contained anemic
grapes, wrinkled and pale. Also deflated
maraschino cherries. Fan-shaped pineapple
chunks, and squares of bleached peach
and pear completed the scene. Fruit cocktail's
colorlessness, its lack of connection to anything
living, (like tree, seed or leaf) seemed
cautionary, sad. A bowl of soupy, faded, funeral
fruit. No more nourishing than a child's
finger painting, masquerading as happy
appetizer, fruit cocktail insisted on pretending
everything was ok. Eating it meant you embraced
tastelessness. It meant you were easily fooled.
It meant you'd pretend semblances,
no matter how pathetic, were real, and that
when things got dicey, you'd spurn the truth.
Eating fruit cocktail meant you might deny
that ghosts whirled throughout the house
and got sucked up the chimney on nights
Dad wadded old newspapers, warned you
away from the hearth, and finally lit a fire.
Surfing Seal Pup: For Pinniped Lovers Everywhere
Thanks Connie!
Shark Toilet, Shark Totem
This shark toilet is so grotesque that I feel obligated to balance the horror with a little spirituality.
If you're obsessed with sharks like I am, you might have wondered why they manifest in your dreams, plague your waking thoughts and perhaps even haunt your toilet.
Check out this fascinating discussion about shark symbolism.
It may inspire you to start a new religion.
The Path of Playing Cards (Or the Gospel of Salty Junk)
On Tuesday afternoon, walking to the parking garage after work I passed a perpetually trash-strewn patch of plants and stopped to free a Macy's bag impaled on a thorny branch. Grumbling with fatigue, heat and misanthropy, I snatched the bag and tossed it in a trash can, not feeling quite self-righteous enough to recycle.
In the trash barrel, I noticed a tiny card from a children's game. Delighted, I snatched this vintage treasure from the bland refuse that surrounded it. The illustration showed a fisherman hauling a net of blurry colored trash from the edge of an unseen sea. I found the title vaguely obscene: Salty Junk. I couldn't imagine where the hell this old sod had come from. All I thought of was a haunting story I'd read in the New York Times about the debris field left by the Malaysian plane that crashed in the Ukriane, how the writer reconstructed passenger stories through objects: Bali guidebooks, passports and a scattered deck of children's playing cards.
I tried to engineer a reverse synchronicity in my mind to make the discovery feel inevitable. Hadn't I just been thinking of how I'd make all of these entries into a book? Hadn't I just been thinking, how much I'd actually enjoyed cleaning the little piles of dead balloons and tar balls off the beach, especially when my friends came with me? Could the universe, my throbbing narcissism insisted, maybe be acknowledging me for my own modest harvests of salty junk?
My love for piles of free and abandoned things aside, I don't know why this little card had the force of revelation to me. I dug through the can, but found no other tiny red cards among the Subway wrappers and coffee cups.
The Wednesday walk to my car was similarly uneventful. But today, past the trash can where the concrete sidewalk curves up the hill, I found another tiny red card face down on the ground. I turned it over as if awaiting a revelation from the Tarot. There she was: Wacky Witch like some emissary from childhood classrooms dressed up for the New England fall, the green faced dime-store hag with cat, owl and cauldron, her leering face somewhere between a comic strip and a tribal mask. I scanned the brush for more cards, but found nothing. To what scattered and abandoned game these old icons belong I will never know. But I sensed their odd, intermittent path was something I was meant to follow.
Day 356 6/26/14: The Last Shark
How did this 1981 gem, "The Last Shark," (a.k.a. "Son Jaws") ever escape my attention? A quick skim through it reveals lots of people are wearing satin and visors, a guy with an overgrown Robert Shaw mustache and a mayor who refuses to believe the truth. There's lots of murky underwater shark action, but the Universal Studios style predator reveals himself fully at 1:16 09.
Day 345 6/15/14: When Obsessions Collide…And Morph!
Day 343 6/13/14: Eel Laffs
Day 341 6/11/14: Batman & The Shark 1966
I so prefer the low-tech Batman to the chiseled existential angst of the latter day ones. I also love the thump of Batman's fist against the hollow rubber body of the shark.
Day 339: 5/31/14: Shark Avalanche
This probably isn't even "bad-good" but what the hell….I like the look of fins cutting through snow.

Want to find out who is talking about what in your niche or industry? There are many search engines that allow you to search one or multiple sources of information to see real time results. Check out these popular (and free) blog, forum, and social media search engines.
1. Technorati
Technorati lets you search blogs and posts by topic using the search bar. You can see the latest posts in particular subjects by clicking on them in the menu. They also have a tag page where you can choose a particular keyword and see commonly mentioned topics
2. PostRank
PostRank allows you to search for blogs on particular topics, as well as see the top blogs in each category based on reader engagement through comments and social sharing.
3. CommentLuv
Find CommentLuv enabled blog posts (like this one) on any topic you choose using this search engine. Although it says it will pull results from the last 7 days, it includes results much older and not in any particular order.
4. Board Reader
Board Reader allows you to search particular topics that are being discussed on message boards and forums. If you are looking for a community based on your interests, this will at least give you an idea which forums are currently active and discussing your topic.
The advanced Twitter search is probably one of the best social media searches actually on the social media site itself. You can find tweets based on keywords, location, sentiment, and other fields.
6. Twazzup
Twazzup pulls real time status updates from Twitter and formats the results in groupings of related hashtags, links, pictures, tweets, top influencers discussing the topic, and highlights. It creates a nice page to bookmark for later if you are always interested in particular subjects.
7. TweetQA
Twitter Questions & Answers does a simple search using the topic you enter in conjunction with "does anyone know" so you can find questions by other Twitter members easily that you can answer using your posts, products, or services.
8. Topsy
Topsy is a search engine powered by tweets – you can search keywords and see the latest, most tweeted stories for that search. You can also drill down into the story to see the most influential Twitterers have shared it with their network.
They also offer an advanced search so you can search for top stories tweeted including a specific term, by a user, whether they are tweets or photos, time of day, on a certain domain, and so on.
9. Kurrently
Kurrently is a simple search engine that pulls the latest updates from both Facebook and Twitter in real time for keyword searches.
10. Booshaka
Booshaka allows you to see what is popular in a variety of categories based on number of likes, comments, and recency of an update based on a proprietary PostRank algorithm.
You can search for particular keywords as well and see the most recent items including those keywords. You can even tweet and "like" the update right from Booshaka (assuming you're logged into your accounts).
11. Your OpenBook
This search engine is out to prove why Facebook statuses are bad and help people realized just how public their "private" updates are. Nonetheless, it is an interesting engine – just ignore the crude suggestions and foul quote by Zuckerberg at the top of the page.
12. Youtube
YouTube is the top video search engine and network, so needless to say any video that is under 10 (or now 15) minutes is likely to be here. YouTube also has it's own Keyword Suggest Tool (similar to Adwords) based on video popularity, great if you plan to cash in on advertising for your videos.
13. Blinkx
Blinkx searches many video networks and gives you the top results as well as a continuous preview videos, starting with the recommended result.
14. MetaTube
MetaTube doesn't look like much, appearance-wise, from the homepage. But the beauty of this video search engine is in its functionality. When you run a search, it defaults to results from YouTube. But you can select from over 50 video networks to see the video results from them. The only popular video search this site doesn't hit is Facebook – everything else you can think of is included though.
Google Buzz
15. Buzzzy
Buzzzy searches Google Buzz updates, and lets you filter the updates by source – Twitter, FriendFeed, ping.fm, etc., or you can see updates directly entered in Buzz.
Looking for a picture for your blog posts, articles, or pages? Skip the general search and head straight to the advanced search on Flickr which lets you select that you are looking for Creative Commons images for reuse, modification, or commercial useage.
17. 4sq Search
4sqsearch lets you search venues by location and even specify that you only want venues that have had a certain number of check-ins. They also give a detailed guide on how to use their search for the best results.
Multiple Social Network Searches
Google Updates allows you to search status updates from several networks in real time. You can get to this option using the regular Google.com search and hit updates in the left sidebar, or using the link above.
The updates results start on the current day and refresh as new updates come in. You can back up to the month and use the bar to get a specfic date and time. It seems like, when you do this however, it narrows the results to just from Twitter.
To narrow the updates from a specific network, including site:domain.com in your query. For example:
- site:friendfeed.com keyword on FriendFeed
- site:google.com keyword on Google Buzz
- site:facebook.com keyword on Facebook
- site:twitter.com keyword on Twitter
19. Bing Social
Bing Social search can search Twitter and Facebook for latest updates. When you search a keyword, you will first see public updates in real time at the top, as well as shared links for the keyword underneath which even shows the number of people who have shared a link on Facebook.
To see more real time updates, just switch from Summary to Public Updates, and to see just the links, switch to Shared Links.
20. 48ers
48ers searches Twitter, Facebook, Google Buzz, Digg, and Delicious and allows you to filter results by those networks. It also gives you trending topics although some trending topics, oddly enough, come up with no results.
So what if you want to see all of the above searches in one place? These two sites give you a taste of all worlds.
21. Addictomatic
Addictomatic creates a little "homepage" for keywords that you search with information from various social sites, news networks, etc. and puts them in a widgitized homepage format that you can customize and save as a bookmark to revisit later.
22. Social Mention
Social Mention searches everything – blogs, microblogging sites, social networks, social bookmarks, comments, events, videos, images, audio, Q&A (like Yahoo Answers).
You can select specific sites to search from the homepage. And when you receive your search results, you can filter results based on sentiment, keywords, users, hashtags, and sources with the options in the left sidebar.
They also have an advanced search option, top trends page, and alerts service to email you when there are new updates on a specific keyword.
23. Who's Talking

Finished Baby Boy Diaper Cake
Tell us about your diaper cake! We would love to hear all about it...
Who did you make it for?
This is my first diaper cake made out of size 1-2 diapers left over from my infant. Since I originally wanted to donate the diapers, I thought it would be grand to try and make a diaper cake for my friend's daughter who was having her baby shower.
Was there a theme or style you followed?
Due to lack of time, I quickly inquired and was told that the theme was a stork and the colors were baby blue and white.
How many diapers did you use in your cake?
I used about 100 diapers in the cake.
What were the ingredients?
Since there were so many diapers to donate, I used cardboard boxes for my first two layers, my daughter's white tutu to hold the third layer, and a paper plate to stabilize the 4th layer. Then the top had a shiny metallic and pearly arrangement from crafts store.
How did you make it?
I saw the instructions on your website and followed them for the last tiers. I used clear ponytail holders from my daughters stash to roll diapers up. The rolled up diapers were used in the first tier edges and the top tier. The rest of the diapers were stacked however they fit best into the boxes or held together with blue ribbon and a paper plate. I hid the boxes with two types of blue ribbon on the first tier and blue crystal pebbles and baby bottles on the 2nd tier. I also glued on baby bottles and blue crystal pebbles on the tutu. Since I did not add baby items to the diaper cake, like powder, rattles, etc., it really looked elegant. I was very impressed at how these diapers made such beautiful decor and could be used at a later time.

Two sardonyx stones were fixed in settings of gold on the High Priest's shoulders; one on the right, and one on the left. The names of the tribes of Israel were engraved upon these two stones, according to the instructions of the verse: "And you shall take two sardonyx stones, and engrave upon them the names of the children of Israel; there shall be six names on one stone, and six names on the second stone in the order of their birth." (Ex. 28:9-10)
The Bible calls these two stones "remembrance stones," as it is written, "And you shall place the two stones on the two shoulder pieces of the ephod as remembrance stones for the children of Israel. And Aaron shall carry their names before G-d on his two shoulders as a remembrance." (Ibid. v. 12)
The sages explain the meaning of this expression: when the High Priest entered into the holy place dressed in the ephod, the Holy One saw all the tribes of Israel inscribed before Him and He was moved to have mercy on His people.
Another two square gold settings were fixed on the High Priest's shoulders, directly under the sardonyx stones. Golden chains extended from these settings to the golden hooks in the rings of the breastplate, in order to fix the breastplate to the ephod.
"And you shall make the breastplate of judgment, the work of an artist; after the manner of the ephod shall you make it: of gold, sky-blue, dark-red, and crimson dyed wool, and of twisted linen shall you make it." (Ex. 28:6,15)
This garment is called choshen mishpat in Hebrew, which means the "breastplate of judgment" or "decision." Square-shaped and worn over the heart, it was called so because of the unique role which it played in helping to render fateful decisions.
According to the Biblical instructions and rabbinical traditions, the breastplate is a patterned brocade like the ephod. The threads of its fabric are gold, sky-blue, dark red and crimson wool, and twisted linen. The garment itself is set with four rows of small square stones, in settings of knitted or braided gold. Each row contained three stones-totaling twelve stones, one stone representing each of the twelve tribes of Israel. The name of the corresponding tribe was engraved on each stone.
"And you shall set it with four rows of mounted stones; the first row: a ruby, an emerald, and a topaz. The second row: a carbuncle, a sapphire, and a quartz crystal. The third row: a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst. The fourth row: a chrysolite, an onyx, and an opal. These stones shall be placed in gold settings. The stones shall contain the names of the twelve children of Israel, one for each of the twelve stones; each one's name shall be engraved as on a signet ring, to represent the twelve tribes." (Ex. 28: 17-21)
Although we have provided a translation for these twelve stones as listed above, it is by no means definitive. We simply prefer to use these names, when faced with the alternative... that is, to present the original Hebrew names transliterated but untranslated. Our listing is rather more like a synopsis, or a sampling, representing different schools of thought. The exact, conclusive identification of these stones is actually one of the most difficult and elusive of all Temple-related studies. This is because the original Hebrew names of these stones as they appear here in the Bible are extremely obscure. They are not commonly used, and no description of the stones appears anywhere in the verses themselves. In the course of many years, as nations flourished and fell, and civilizations migrated to new lands, languages evolved and the meanings of words changed. Thus in one location, a word may have one meaning and connote a particular concept, while in another land, the same word may carry the exact opposite meaning.
Faced with this sort of situation, it becomes necessary to engage in what can be called "linguistic sleuthing" in an effort to arrive at a working conclusion. The names of these stones is particularly enigmatic: there are over 30 varying opinions as to the final identification of the 12 stones. These opinions include scholars and commentators from the entire historical spectrum of rabbinical literature and tradition, beginning with the most ancient-and therefore, in this case the most reliable opinions-those of the Aramaic translations of the Bible. And as is usual when it comes to eye-witness testimony, the information provided by Flavius Josephus is of interest and importance, since he himself was a priest who served in the Holy Temple.
In addition to the translational difficulties in this study, there are also other factors which should be taken into consideration in order to arrive at a realistic decision as to the true nature of these gems. These factors include various geological and gemological conditions and criteria, such as the respective degree of hardness and brightness of any candidate stone (since the stones are described by the sages as being both exceedingly bright, and strong as well - in order to withstand the engraving), and the regions on the earth where they can be found.
In reality, the only fact which is known with absolute certainty is the color of each stone. Although absent from the Biblical passages, this is recorded by the Midrash (Bamidbar Rabbah 2:7) where it is stated that each tribe's stone on the breastplate matched the background color of its flag (the tribes of Israel camped and journeyed according to their ensigns during the years of their desert travels).
Thus even if some doubt exists with regard to the scientific classification of the gems themselves, we can still be certain as to their appearance based on the Midrashic description of their colors (again, arbitrarily using the 12 "most representative" names we have chosen for the purpose of listing them):
Exhaustive Research Concluded by the Temple Institute
It will be of great interest to the reader to learn that over the course of nearly a decade, scholars at the Temple Institute of Jerusalem have conducted intensive research into the identity of the breastplate's stones, in an effort to reach a working conclusion that will allow the Institute's artisans and craftsmen to actually construct a kosher breastplate, which will fulfill the Biblical requirements for the stones-and thus be able to be worn by the next High Priest.
"The stones shall contain the names of the twelve children of Israel, one for each of the twelve stones; each one's name shall be engraved as on a signet ring, to represent the twelve tribes." (Ex. 28: 21)
What process is this engraving, similar to that which appears on a signet ring?
In a Talmudic analysis (BT Sotah 48:B), the sages taught that because of these instructions, the words were not written with any sort of ink. Nor were they carved out or chiseled with any metal tool - for the verse (ibid. v. 20) specifically indicates that the stones must be set into their golden settings while yet "in their fullness;" in order to carve or to scratch out from the surface, some of the stone itself would inevitably be missing.
Rather, a most unique method was utilized to carve the names into the stones of the breastplate. It was accomplished naturally, by one of G-d's creations. A worm called the shamir existed that could cut stones merely with its glance. According to the rabbis, this creature was brought into existence during the original six days of creation, but ceased to exist following the destruction of the First Temple.
It is taught that Moses himself used the shamir for the stones of the original ephod and breastplate while yet in the desert, for the Tabernacle.
"Initially, the words are written on the stones in ink. Then the stones are simply exposed to the shamir, and the letters are cut into the stones automatically, of their own accord... like a fig which ripens and splits open in summer; it splits open but yet no part of it is missing. And a valley splits open during the rainy season, but it too lacks nothing." (BT Sotah 48:B) - thus the stones remained "in their fullness."
Above, regarding the two sardonyx stones that were placed on the High Priest's shoulders, we have quoted the verse "And you shall take two sardonyx stones, and engrave upon them the names of the children of Israel; there shall be six names on one stone, and six names on the second stone in the order of their birth." (Ex. 28:9-10)
When it came to those two stones, this verse clearly indicated that the names of the tribes should be engraved upon them in the order of their birth.
But in the context of the stones of the breastplate, scripture gives no such indication. Therefore, there is some controversy as to the order in which these names appeared.
In the opinion of Yonatan ben Uziel, author of an Aramaic translation/commentary on the Bible, the children of Israel's names were inscribed on the breastplate's stones in the order of their birth, and were therefore arranged in the following manner:
Another Aramaic translation, the "Targum Yerushalmi," places the order of the tribes according to the Matriarchs; the six sons of Leah, two sons of Bilhah, two sons of Zilpah and two sons of Rachel. Thusly:
When the reader tries to visualize the breastplate based on this information, he should bear in mind that in both cases, the order which meets the eye is actually reversed-since Hebrew reads from right to left.
It should be noted that both of these commentaries (which date back to the time of the Temple) are held in the highest regard as sources of both wisdom and authoritative knowledge. For the sake of brevity we have only presented these two opinions, but there are more schools of thought among the great sages: some hold that the names appeared in downward columns, rather than inrows across; some hold that the names of the tribes appeared on the breastplate in the same order in which they camped in the desert.
There is also a tradition which Moses received at the Sinai revelation, that all 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet should be present on the stones. Since all of these letters are not found in the names of Jacob's progeny, several other words were also engraved upon the stones: the names of the patriarchs, Abraham Isaac and Jacob, and the words "the tribes of Jeshurun." One opinion is that the words Abraham, Isaac and Jacob appeared at the top of the first stone, over the name Reuben, and the other words on the last stone. Others maintain that all these extra letters were divided among the stones.
Like the two sardonyx shoulder stones, the Bible states that the purpose of the twelve stones is "to be a perpetual remembrance before the L-rd" (Ex. 28:29). When the High Priest bore the breastplate into the holy place, Israel was remembered for peace. The sages taught that the ephod served to invoke the cause of Israel's sustenance and material welfare, and the breastplate - her salvation, and deliverance from her enemies.

Now with better understanding of building structure for gluten free bread and a reliable recipe, I can be a little more adventurous with ingredients that I can lay my hands on.
I had a bag of whole grain buckwheat flour that I need using up and I am particular fond of the bottle of organic maple syrup I have in my fridge. So this round loaf is little experiment that I dare take on.
The recipe is very similar to the one that I previously posted with slight change in the ratio of ingredients to give it a stronger structure. We need that for this bread will not be placed in a baking tin to proof.
Experiment Recipe – Gluten Free Dairy Free Bread
100g ground golden flaxseeds (preferred to brown flaxseeds for a nuttier flavour)
350g water
130g whole grain buckwheat flour
120g corn starch
25g ground psyllium husks
15g unrefined brown sugar or cane sugar
15g organic maple syrup
10g instant yeast
One medium size egg (room temperature)
30g sunflower oil (for it does not affect the taste of the dough)
7g sea salt
For more pictures and more information on the steps below, please click here to divert you to my previous post on gluten free bread.
***Pre-heat your oven to 230 degrees C**
Step 1 – Bring the ground flaxseeds with 350g of water to boil, and then transfer to the kitchenaid stand mixer with a dough hook to cool down to hand warm temperature.
Step 2 – Mix the other ingredients, except the egg, maple syrup, sunflower oil and the sea salt, in a separate bowl.
Step 3 – Once the ground flaxseed mixture is cooled to the desired temperature, pour the dry ingredients into the stand mixer with the egg and the maple syrup. Turn to a very low speed at 1 or 2 and mix the ingredients until the they are all blended well. With mark 2 or 4, it could take as long as 5 to 10 minutes. You will find the dough much wetter than traditional bread. (Optional – You could use 300g of water instead of 350g, but I find the dough not rise as much with less water ratio)
Step 4 – Now add the sunflower oil and patiently let the oil mixed well into the dough. At first, the dough will get separated by the oil and it did not look right. But don't worry if you give the mixer enough time and at a low speed, the oil will eventually get absorbed into dough. This step is very important as an undermixed dough would not rise.
Step 5 – I tend to add the salt in the last stage of the mixing, so to allow the yeast and sugar work more in the beginning of the process. It should just take a couple of minutes to mix the salt into the dough evenly.
Step 6 – Now you could dust your work surface and your hands with corn starch. Please just put enough of corn starch to allow you to pick up the dough to work with. Excess amount of corn starch will affect the consistency of the dough quality and any destruction of the structure (with psyllium husks and flaxseeds) affect the proofing.
Step 7 – It is a dough that you can shape with but as it is wetter than the normal wheat flour dough and its delicate. Gently shape it into a round ball and place it in a well floured basket for proofing. Cover the dough with a plastic bag (sealed if you could). The dough should rise double in size in half an hour in room temperature or a warm corner in your house.
Step 8 – Once its risen to the desired volume, turn the dough upside down onto a baking tray, score it the way you prefer and then bake it in 230 degrees C for 40 minutes. You will know when it is cooked through if it sounds hollow when taping the bottom of the bread loaf.

One day, there were three fishermen who went out to the sea to gather some fish to feed their families. Carried by a large boat in the middle of the sea, they began to spread their nets so they can catch fish. They waited for hours but it seems there were no fish that have been caught.
The other fishermen exclaimed, "What a day it must be! We've been here since early in the morning!", and others also began to complain until they blame each other.
But there was one fisherman who seems so quiet. While others were complaining, he was working. He didn't mind how long should he wait, or even join the others who were complaining. After a few more hours, his nets became full. It was so heavy that he could not able to pull it himself. He asked for help and others helped him. Others have mocked him and thrown insults at him.
Life is somehow like that story above. Whether you are working in the corporate world, you are in business or even in a community, there will be people that will envy other people's success. They were so busy finding faults, they complain about everything, they think they are the poor victim of what's happening around them.
But a successful person is focused on his work. He is so focused on what he can accomplish and what he can give that he doesn't have the time to complain anymore. He experienced trials, disappointments, and rejections but he used it to leverage himself.
If we only focused on our mission, and just keep rowing our boat, we will not have the time to rock the boat.
Those who are rowing the boat are less likely to be rocking the boat.

Guided By Voices are an amazing band, but their catalogue is an extremely dense collection to get into. Where do you start? Is it Bee Thousand? Is it Alien Lanes? How do the post-breakup albums stack up next to the rest? And what of Robert Pollard's other projects, like Boston Spaceships (featuring Eyelids members/Faces on the Radio veterans Chris Slusarenko and John Moen) or Circus Devils (who released their final album, Laughs Last, on February 24th)? What about all of Pollard's solo material, or the three (!) Ricked Wicky albums that came out in 2015? And what about the Suitcases?
One of the best ways to take in everything, though, is to just see Guided By Voices play live. I went into my first GBV show as a mild fan, and walked away a rabid obsessive, and part of this is Pollard's willingness to play as many songs as can be fit into their time onstage. You want to watch a band play 40 songs with the gusto of a band a third their age? You got it.
On April 7th, Guided By Voices will release the double (!!) album August By Cake, the band's 23rd album to date. That seems like a lot, sure! But it's even more notable that this is the one hundredth (!!!) album with Uncle Bob's name on it. That's a hell of a lot to process! The band's last, Please Be Honest, was mostly recorded by Pollard on his own, but this album finds him reunited with former member Doug Gillard, and backed by new members Bobby Bare Jr. and Mark Shue. This spring, the band will support the album with a lovely tour which includes a few nice and small rooms, including the ridiculously small Doug Fir Lounge here in Portland and Seattle's Neumos – with a neat little stopover in Indio, CA for Coachella.. They'll have a hell of a lot of great support on the tour, everyone from Rogue Wave to DTCV (fronted by James Greer, former GBV member and the man who literally wrote the book on the band).
After the jump, check out the band's dates and support, as well as new tracks "Dr. Feelgood Falls Off the Ocean" and "Hiking Skin".

Hello, I am new here and new to Web Design for that matter. I am using the Dynamic Ajax Content script to load content into a main DIV on my page. I am doing this as a replacement for an IFRAME based scheme. Basically I have header, left and right hand navigation which remains static and the content DIV is in the middle.
What I need to know is: If a user clicks a search engine indexed link to some of my content how can I assure that my navigation loads with this script? Currently this script works great if you come into my site via the front door but I need my content pages to determine if the navigation is present and if not load it. Otherwise if you link to them directly they are orphaned. Thanks.

For years the USA was the world's largest emitter of greenhouse gases, until recently being overtaken by China. The carbon footprint of the average American, is equally at the top end of the scale. For years they dragged their feet in terms of taking any meaningful action on climate change. Their chickens are now coming home to roost. The South West USA has been in exceptional drought for over four years now. In California alone $2.2 Billion has been wiped off the agricultural sector, over 400,000 acres of land have ben taken out of production as there is no longer the water to irrigate the land. Some houses have not had running water for over 5 months, and one third of al children go to bed hungry in California, directly as a result of the drought. The tinder dry conditions has lead to a huge increase in the numbers of wild fires, another feedback loop that releases yet more greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.

According to EEME, this is what we had in store for us: "In the second project, your kid will wire up an LED display to a switch system, learning about segmented LEDs and switches along the way."
My kid is all about antiques right now, so he was thrilled when he found out he would be building something from "the past" since it was described as before the times of the iPad and touch screens, which is basically all his generation has known.
I really appreciated that one of the first videos was a very basic review of the breadboard and how it works. Elliott remembered most of the information we reviewed, but I love that it was built right into the course. I also still love the periodic reviews where the student answers multiple choice questions or summarizes what they learn. Sometimes I just have Elliott answer to me rather than try to type his answers out for the summaries, but I can also type as he dictates.
Last time we sat at the kitchen table with my laptop, but this time I had the forethought to cast the browser to the television, so we could watch the video course more comfortably!
The videos are also still simple and clean. I think it's important that there's no background noises or visual distractions within the video.
The short videos allow a lot of information to be covered in bite-sized pieces. One video may have Elliott building something, the next video will be an explanation of what they just did, and the next video might have him take it apart and do something different to demonstrate why things work (or don't work) a certain way. I love how the course allows for this exploration of the topic being discussed. It's not just a step-by-step guide to building something fun. It really is teaching him along the way.
Each video is clearly labeled and there were diagrams along the way for where to place the pieces, should you need a better visual.
Some of the things covered in this project were how a segmented LED is controlled, shared resisters, what would happen if we used a stronger resister, and how to use the switch panel. At the end, Elliott was encouraged to basically play around with it to create different configurations with the LED lights. Of course he had to make an E for Elliott, and he played around to make different letters and numbers.
I will say that last month we worked through the project in two sittings and that worked well, but this time we worked through it all at once. It took us about two hours (with some interruptions) to get through the 38 sub-lessons, and that was too long for him. Older kids could probably get through it faster or not get as fidgety over the course of two hours, but that's a long time for my 8 year old. I definitely think for the younger end of the age range, that breaking it up into two sessions is perfect.
I still can't say enough great things about this EEME course. You get everything you physically need in a small box each month, and all you do is login to access the very detailed videos. We are using these as part of our homeschool, but they would work for summer projects or after school learning too. They are the real deal, and I'm in love. More than that, my kid loves it, and is learning so much without even realizing it!
For kids that are highly interested in electronics or engineering this is a great gift. You should also have them check out the EEME Blog for interesting articles and videos. There's a lot of great information there!
They have different purchase options, but I am using the $18.95/month for the basic subscription. You can find more information on the EEME website, or follow them on Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram, or Twitter.
Special Note: If you sign up through my referral link, you will receive $10 off your first month, OR you can buy the Builder Basic 6 Project Set (through this specific link) for a bundle of the first six sets shipped together. No wait time between projects! That would make a great summer activity that promotes learning but doesn't seem "schoolish" at all!

As I've mentioned in several posts, I love bunnies. I adore bunnies. I'm actually a bunny in a human suit! Anyway, the squealing you heard late Monday night was me dying over Katat0nik's newest release, BunnyCakes. It is beautiful and elegant and classic and it has BUNNIES! Don't rush over to her main store–this dress is only available at the Ozimals Main Store. I wanted to keep this one fairly simple, so I went with a black blouse and black stockings. Even though it's a bit more sweet than I was wanting, I wore my rose bunny radio necklace from Katat0nik because it went so well. My adorable shoes are the newest release from The Sugar Garden. I took the rose from the Chemistry Tamora hair everyone is wearing and pinned it to my brand new short ringlets from Wasabi Pill, which was also the source of much squees. My skin is also the brand new Elvi from Glam Affair, part of her new Youth Line. I think there was squeeing and crying when I tried it on because I've been looking for a new skin that I truly loved for a couple months now.

Angela had a beautiful Sydney maternity photography session in our Eastern Suburbs Studio with her husband. It was their first baby girl, and they had high hopes and were eagerly anticipating her arrival.
She and her partner loved some of the other sessions on our site, and wanted to see if they could do a similar photo shoot. Being busy professionals, we planned everything out carefully early on so we would be ready when the time came. We learned about their journey and what was important to them. We guided them from the start to finish so that they could relax and just enjoy the experience. With hair and makeup done by one of our talented artists, Angela looked perfectly ethereal in the photographs.
Together we created a beautiful Premium Lux Portrait Box with their favorite photographs. Portrait Prints are beautifully made Fine Art Prints in an acid free mount. They display beautifully in a frame on the wall or on an easel on your desk. You can select how many photographs are out on display, and rotate them every couple of weeks. A true living piece of art.
Valent Lau Photography provides Pregnancy and Maternity Photography and is based in South Coogee in Sydney's Eastern Suburbs. Contact us now and take your first step towards creating some beautiful heirlooms.

Hi folks,
Currently in the USA and had planned to try RM for the first time. SIM not authorized/permitted by activation server, or some such nonsense. After serious poking around, I found this:
https://www.roammobility.com/support/Swapping_in_your_Roam_Mobility_Sim_in_your_iPhone. html
Why on earth would an unlocked iPhone need to be synced (and ever restored in some cases!) after a SIM swap?!
Any suggestions on how to get around this issue while still in the States and very much away from any computer with iTunes?

The program provides funding for life-changing research to promote better patient health outcomes. Launched in 2012, the scholarship was created in response to the difficulties young doctors face in securing research funding, and has since supported research across a wide range of specialities.
Since its inception the program has awarded 91 scholarships worth a total of $2.5 million. The 2019 program will provide up to $450,000 in full-time and part-time research funding, together with grants for short-term projects. The award categories include new fellows, accredited trainees and pre-vocational doctors.

With the support of the Doctor in Training Research Scholarship, young researchers have made important contributions to improving quality in medicine. Their innovative studies have advanced the fields of surgery, rehabilitation, anaesthetics and medical administration.
Dr Emily Fitzpatrick | 2016 Recipient
NSW - Paediatric Registrar, Quality in Medicine – Part-time | Scholarship amount: $25,000
There is little research into improving community engagement processes and seeking consent for research with Indigenous people. In response, Dr Emily Fitzpatrick, together with senior Aboriginal leaders of the Fitzroy Valley communities, initiated The Picture Talk Project. The project investigates how researchers can communicate in a more culturally appropriate and comprehensive way when seeking consent for research.
Having previously been involved with the Lililwan Project, Dr Fitzpatrick wanted to support Aboriginal children, trying to fill the huge gap in their health and wellbeing. The Picture Talk Project tackles an important health problem that was threatening the oral traditions affecting the children of the community.
With funding from Avant, Dr Fitzpatrick can continue her collaboration with community leaders in this project. The support also gives her a flexible timeline to ensure it is culturally respectful and ethically sound.
"This very unique research has enabled me to demonstrate to national and international medical audiences how research with Aboriginal communities can be conducted in a way that is empowering and equitable. I am very hopeful the work we did will have an impact on current NHMRC policies and protocols, as well as with other indigenous communities around the globe," Dr Fitzpatrick said.
"I am exceptionally proud to be a recipient of the Avant Doctor in Training Scholarship. It is a great honour and privilege to be acknowledged for all the time, effort, passion, patience and persistence spent in ensuring the success of The Picture Talk Project."
Dedicated to paediatric issues for low socioeconomic communities, Dr Fitzpatrick presently works in Blacktown and Mount Druitt hospitals.
Her research project is still in progress.
Dr Felix Ng | 2016 Recipient
VIC – Neurology | Scholarship amount: $12,500
One in six Australians will have a stroke in their lifetime, with stroke killing more Australians than breast and prostate cancer. The faster effective treatments are given, the higher the chance of a complete recovery.
Dr Felix Ng's project aims to develop a new evaluation method to help hospitals detect and analyse problems in their systems of care that may delay stroke treatment.
Using this method, any hospital in the world can self-evaluate their system and improve the quality and speed of their care.
With a Masters of Public Health from James Cook University, Dr Ng has focused on public health, seeking to improve healthcare and the various models of its delivery.
He has been involved in the Rural Inter-Professional Project at the University of Melbourne, designed to improve quality in healthcare, including community oncology care in regional and rural areas of Victoria.
Dr Jonathan Kaufman | 2015 Recipient
VIC – Paediatrics | Scholarship amount: $25,000
Urinary tract infections are common in young children. Untreated, they can lead to permanent renal scarring, meningitis and severe sepsis. Urine samples are required to diagnose or exclude infections, but collecting samples from pre-continent children can be difficult.
Dr Jonathan Kaufman's research demonstrated that a simple cutaneous stimulation method, dubbed 'Quick-Wee', increased the rate of infant voiding for clean catch urine within five minutes. The process should help clinicians collect urine samples quickly, to guide immediate clinical decision-making for faster treatment. It may ultimately inform Australian and international guidelines for investigation of urinary tract infections in young children in the future.
Dr Kaufman says he is humbled and grateful to Avant for the support of the Doctor in Training Research scholarship. "Particularly for junior doctors who are combining part-time research and clinical training like myself, it's a unique opportunity because most of the research scholarships available are for full-time research only," he said. "Scholarships like this allow you to bring your research to a higher standard and really opens the door to future opportunities to collaborate with senior researchers, and then over time develop more independent research and then hopefully a career which combines clinical work and academic research."
Dr Kaufmann presented his study at the Australasian Society of Emergency Medicine National Conference. He was awarded the Best Trainee Paper prize and Paediatric Trainee Research award for excellence at the Victorian RACP Trainee Research Awards. He has published several papers has presented at international conferences. His research is pivotal in diagnosing urinary tract infections in young children, particularly those under 2 years.

"O Lord, you have searched me and you know me. You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar. You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways. Before a word is on my tongue you know it completely, O Lord."
Sometimes I look back over my day and I replay every action, conversation, and email, and I beat myself up for not doing it as well as I could have. I try to think how I would have done it differently and how I failed at this and what people are going to think and how I'm going to do better next time. What a comfort and relief it is to know that God knows all that is within me - the good, bad, and very, very ugly - and he has not left me yet. My co-workers may look down on me if I drop the ball, and people in my life may think less of me when I mess up, but God knows everything I have done in a day - including every word and thought and movement, and he still loves me.
You hem me in - behind and before; you have laid your hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty to attain.
This is probably my favorite part. I'm someone who loves comfort, who used to be tucked into my bed each night by my parents. What a wonderful image of our God who goes behind us and before us and tucks us in-between since we can not be trusted to go off on our own. Thankfully, he will never leave us. He will always prepare a way for us and then follow behind to help us, comfort us, and clean up our messes. This part of the Psalm became very real for me last week when I went to Detroit, Michigan for four days to train a team of English teachers at a school there. How I got there is completely God's doing - he orchestrated connections and relationships in my life that have taken me places I never thought I'd go. As I looked out my hotel window in Detroit across the river to Canada, I marveled at how I had gotten there solely by God's doing. It became clear that God had gone before me even there in Michigan. The whole trip felt right, as if it were all planned out before I came to be, which I know is true. I loved the teachers and administration, and the training went smoothly. They are even opening a "YES" school there which I was unaware of - I visited and it was like walking into my school in Houston - exactly the same. How marvelous is our God. I would never think to ask or even imagine that God would put a YES school in Michigan and then send me there, but he did it all the same.
Where can I go from your spirit? Where can I flee from you presence? If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there. If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast.
Weather I wander physically all over the country or mentally when Satan makes me despair, God is with me. There is NO WHERE I can go where he will not be. What a wonderful thought to have every day of my life.
If I say, "Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me", even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you.
What seems like the darkest situation to me is light to God. There is NOTHING he can't handle - he's teaching me to go to him with the littlest requests for my job all the way to major life decisions. How comforting that even the evil of this world can be used for good because it it is all light to God.
For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; you works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body.
If I feel guilty that I didn't workout or I ate an extra helping of dinner or realize I will NEVER look like the girl on the cover of Shape magazine, it doesn't matter. God has made me exactly how he wanted to make me, and nothing I can do (or NOT do) can change that.
All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.
The beauty of this verse almost leaves me breathless. Nothing I can do will thwart God's plan for my life. God has planned works in advance for me to do. All I have to do is walk in his word.
How precious to me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them! Were I to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand. When I awake, I am still with you.
This is the part of the psalm that fills my eyes with tears every time. The creator of the universe, the holy Lord of all the Earth thinks of ME more times than there are grains of sand. This brings a great satisfaction to my soul that I can hardly express. So maybe I got a negative comment on a survey about my work or maybe I'm not recognized for something I do, or maybe I feel lonely, or maybe I totally messed up and I want to hide. None of that matters because no matter what I've done, God thinks of me and he loves me. And when tomorrow comes, his mercies will be new and I will still be with him.
I praise you, Lord, for your wonderful, beautiful, and true word.
If you haven't checked out Psalm 139, I highly recommend it. It's a good one :-)
