Announcing Know your Natural Sweetness Event - white sugar :)
I take immense pleasure to host Jagruti's event for the Month of October under the Theme "Know your Natural Sweetness using White sugar !!" Thanks a bunch Jagruti for letting me to host this event :)) The theme of this event is "white Sugar" . It is perhaps the most modest member of the pantry around the globe.
When using sugar most people think of it only as a sweetener. But when sugar is used in baking its role becomes more complex as it also adds volume, tenderness, texture, color, and acts as a preservative.
When a recipe calls for creaming together the fat and sugar this is not simply a way of mixing these two ingredients together. The purpose of doing this step is to get air into the batter. The length of time you cream the butter with the sugar determines the amount of air incorporated into the batter.
Sugar also attracts moisture in the batter which reduces the amount of gluten formed in the flour.
Rules and details :-
1). Event runs from October 1st - 31st (EST). So entries within these dates will be acceptable.
2). Cook up any dish, which can be of any course. ie, Starter, snacks, sweets, desserts etc, that your heart desires, with 'WHITE SUGAR' being the star.The recipe can be from any country or any cuisine.
3). All the entries should be linked to this event announcement page and Jagrutis event announcement page. Both are mandatory.
4). You can cook Vegetarian / Non-vegetarian recipes depending on your choice. No Pork or beef ingredients please.
5). Usage of logo is mandatory as it helps to spread the word. Click here for the image:- Image url
6). Looking for fresh entries and to try out new recipes. So, no archived or reposed entries please. Multiple entries are accepted. Please link your entries using the linky tools below

How to tie the Black Hopper River Fly
Hook: Size 10-12 Fulling Mill all-purpose
Thread: Black 8/0Rib: Pearly tinsel
Body: Black seal's fur/SLF 50/50
Legs: Dyed black cock pheasant tail fibres, knotted
Hackle: Black cock
There are countless hawthorn patterns available, but few come better than a Black Hopper. This fly can either be fished dry or wet.
1. Fix hook in vice and run the thread down to the bend, in close turns. At this point, catch in a length of medium-width pearl tinsel.
2. Apply a pinch of black fur to the tying thread and dub it on to form a thin rope. Wind dubbed fur along the hook in touching turns.
3. Once three-quarters of the hook shank have been covered and a thin body formed, apply the pearl tinsel in open, evenly spaced turns.
4. Secure loose end of tinsel and remove excess. Knot three fibres of black cock pheasant tail and fix them so they trail along the body.
5. Create another three legs by repeating the process and catch in on other side of hook. Secure fibres with thread and remove excess.
6. Prepare a dyed black cock hackle by stripping away the fibres at its base to leave a stub of bare hackle-stem. Catch in hackle by its stem.
7. Take hold of the hackle-tip, using hackle pliers. Working towards the eye, apply three full turns of the hackle.
8. Secure the hackle-tip with thread and remove the excess. Complete by casting off the thread with a solid whip finish.

Suzuki Motor, just announced a new car for the minicar market in India and, according to Autoblog Green1, Osamu Suziki, its chairman, of some specific questions about Tata's 1-lakh (USD$2,500) car:
There is a slight lack of clarity about this $3,000 figure. Does it refer to the actual retail price? Or does it refer to the cost of materials that are used in preparing this automobile? It's not quite clear. … There's not much clarity about which standards, and which year, this $3,000 car is aiming to fulfill. … Will airbags be included? Will seat belts?
Right now, in Europe we have the Euro3 standards, and soon we will have the Euro4 standards and around 2013 the Euro5 standards will also be implemented. Are [Tata] only planning to release it domestically in India? Are they thinking of exports? There is so much that is not known about this car. … Our fundamental stance is that rather than Suzuki becoming very concerned about watching over our shoulder to see what other people are doing, we'll move forward at our own pace.

text: Even in remote antiquity the sand-swept height overlooking the desert river valley was known as the Wonderful Cliff or the Precipice of the Immortals. It had probably been considered a locus of spiritual power for centuries when in 366 a wandering monk named Yuezun, "resolute, calm, and of pure conduct...traveling the wilds with his pilgrim's staff, arrived at this mountain and had a vision of a golden radiance in the form of a thousand Buddhas. Thereupon he erected scaffolding and chiseled out the cliff to make a cave."

All of those teaser shots with rhinestones and other supplies were used to create this bad boy!!
I wanted a fun accessory to wear to the Justin Timberlake/Jay-Z concert for or "me and my girlfriend(s)" and thought that a bow tie would fit the bill. I mean why not channel the duo's "Suit & Tie" song, outside of the karaoke booth of my car, via an accessory, right?
This project is super easy to complete! First I started with panels of Darice's self-adhesive rhinestone sheets, Gemz and some black 7/8" Grosgrain ribbon. (Feel free to go thicker/smaller depending on the size of the bow tie you'd like)
I wanted to coat the entire width of the ribbon with the rhinestones and five rows of the rhinestones fit perfectly! I trimmed a 6" piece of ribbon and then cut a 5 stone width of rhinestones about 5" long. (I didn't match the rhinestones to the full length of the ribbon because we'll want the ribbon ends bare for creating the "knot" in the center.)
I took the center of the rhinestones, matched it to the center of the ribbon, peeled off the backing, and adhered the stones to the ribbon.
After the rhinestones were stuck in place (the backing is super sticky and stays amazingly well), I created the base of the bow tie by taking the center of the ribbon (this will be the center of the bow tie), and pinching this with the ends of the ribbon around to the back.
Next I trimmed a section of rhinestones three stones in width and about 1.5", as this is going to be the "knot".
I peeled off the backing, and affixed this rhinestone portion to the back of the bow tie where the ribbon edges were, wrapped it around to the front of the bow tie, all while cinching the center to create a little ruching, and then wrapped the rest around to the back. (If there is any excess of rhinestones, you can just trim them off).
I wanted to make this a bracelet, so I measured my wrist and cut a bit of black elastic...
...and then sewed the edges in place.
I cut a final a section of rhinestones, three stones in width and just long enough to coat the entire back of the center, "knot" panel. I took the elastic and placed it on the back of the bow tie and then put the new strip of rhinestones on top of the entire back panel of the tie to hold the elastic in place.
And now we've got a little bracelet! (...or hair tie, or necklace, if you go longer...)
Also, to avoid sewing, you can always just cut a longer length of elastic, affix the center of the portion to the bracelet, and then just knot the ends. Also the sticky back of the rhinestones are pretty secure, however I ended up squeezing a little glue in the opening beneath the "knot" just for good measure.
We picnicked at the Rose Bowl where the concert was being held...
...and scored the most perfect photo op from a duo of Pasadena firemen rolling through the grasses on a golf cart keeping peace.
We made our way through the masses to get to our seats...
...only to be welcomed by the friendliest concert neighbors ever!! I think we were sitting in the liveliest section of the arena, and that was before the show even started!
The row neighbors below us were dancing up a storm to the pre-show DJ, discussing the people who snuck into the stadium selling bootleg T-shirts in our section (I'm surprised they didn't get caught/kicked out!) and sharing their contraband. Yep, the gal in front of us was pushing her special vodka infused Gummy Bear stash to all of us...her name was Erica and she was on a mission to get everyone to try one.
The lights dimmed and the show began!! I'm obsessed with JT and have been ever since the end of N'Sync. (I was never really that into the boy bands, weirdly. I know, I feel like I'm a perfect boy band candidate.) When his Justified album came out in the early 2000s, I was hooked!
I've not seen Jay-Z in concert before and he killed it. We didn't sit down once.
It was such a ridiculously fun show and one that we were anticipating since getting tickets back in March. Unfortunately with shows of this size, the getting-out-part tends to be a minor disaster.
The two hours it took to get home (mostly waiting to exit the parking lot) was totally worth it though!
I think we were equipped with the perfect accessories to rock out in.
I think you might be seeing this accessory on this "Señorita" sooner than later...

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 23/8/2013 (2222 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Contrary to its title, this new popular-science book is not an investigative study into the nefarious schemes of unscrupulous physicists.
It is, however, a meandering and rambling discourse covering the development of several areas of physics-related science, including cosmology, astronomy and high-energy particle physics — and it is told with attitude.
Bankrupting Physics is based on a book originally published in 2010 by renegade German physicist Alexander Unzicker in his native country.
Winnipeg-based science writer Sheilla Jones, author of 2008's The Quantum 10, has joined Unzicker as a co-author for the expanded English edition.
In a straightforward manner (i.e. by making the subject readable for the science layman), Bankrupting Physics provides historical insights into the evolution of science in the last 100 years and gives some nice explanations of how some of the measurements are made.
The areas of physics Unzicker and Jones cover have always attracted great attention, not just from the scientific world, but from the general public.
They ask the questions: Where do we come from? What is the universe? How does it work on a fundamental level? And what is it made of?
Over the last 30 years, technological advances, including space telescopes and powerful particle accelerators, have turned our understanding of the universe on its head. This has led to new and strange concepts, such as dark matter, dark energy, string theory, inflation and the search for the Higgs boson.
Unzicker and Jones deal with these in varying amounts of detail but usually with enough to give an understanding of some of the basics of the field. There are also a great many stories from science lore and a ton of interesting quotes from famous people (mainly scientists).
The book argues science is a little like sausage-making, in that it is not the clean, antiseptic process people often think of.
Experiments are often difficult to do, and it's well known in science errors abound, theories are often twisted to make them fit data and seemingly bizarre theories emerge.
As the title indicates, Unzicker and Jones clearly have an agenda outside of merely describing science. It's just not all that clear what this agenda is.
A large chunk of this book is devoted to the view the majority of theories being looked at today in cosmology, etc., are worthless or worse, and the people pursuing them are wasting their time and our money.
"The problem," they write at one point, "is that dumb brute-force experiments of the standard model create the illusion of scientific progress."
They don't like conventional scientific thinking, particularly the standard model of the universe including inflation, quarks and current models of dark matter and dark energy.
Unzicker and Jones hold particular disdain for string theorists, anything that has hidden dimensions and any theory they believe cannot be tested. One chapter is titled, New Dimensions in Nonsense: Branes, Multiverses and Other Supersicknesses.
"The calm, clear waters in which Einstein loved to sail became a thing of the past," they write in this chapter.
"Instead we have been witness to the bursting dams of reason, ripped and perforated structures, wormholes and other nonmeasureable sci-fi nonsense that has been pouring out of theorists' heads. No one knows what it is supposed to mean but anything goes. Physics has ultimately turned into postmodernism."
Unfortunately, they offer no solutions other than a belief we need to look closer at the physics of low accelerations and get back to the basics. They seem to want us to go back to about 1950 and start again.
In the end, the book leads to the conclusion we are still a long way from completely understanding the universe.
Some of the attacks seem personal. These detract from what otherwise is an entertaining and informative read.

Hi Ladies & Gents,
I hope all of you are having a great week! Can you guys believe we are heading into February?! I am actually ready for next month because its NYFW. I'm so excited that I will be going this year since I was away in September and wasn't able to attend. I can't wait to bring you my coverage on street fashion and the shows I will be attending. I may even do a vlog for my YouTube chanel so you guys can see what goes down so stay tuned for that.
So let's get down to this post. I had the opportunity to attend the Cosmo Magazine Fun Fearless Event in November and I can tell you it was a fun event. There was fashion and inspiration all packed into one event.
The speakers included industry-celebs like Cosmo Editor-in-Chief Joanna Coles, Kelly Osbourne, Gabrielle Union, Nasty Gal's Sophia Amoruso, Sara Blakely of Spanx, and many more. The day was full of motivational speeches and interesting panels that were pretty cool to watch. There was a Maybelline makeup counter where they were giving mini makeovers and the Express pop-up store was an awesome touch as well. I scored a cute clutch with a battery charger for my phone, which I end up ripping open to charge up my phone.lol.
I can honestly go through each speaker but honestly to feel each story you had to be there. I can tell you the one that inspired me the most was Sara Blakely. Her story really challenged me to fight for what I want when it comes to my dreams because all it takes is one person to believe in you. She was pretty funny too, she joked that she's probably the only woman on the planet who is grateful for her cellulite, since it was the inspiration behind her billion dollar idea company "Spanx". I truly enjoyed her segment.
Overall it was a great event but I was a little disappointed that there weren't really an opportunities to network which I feel is so important as a blogger. During breaks it was just a whole bunch of scrambling around to get some food or figure out who were just fans of Cosmo vs industry people. Regardless, I had a fab time and was even featured on Cosmo's website for best street style.
Check out some pictures below of what I wore for both days of the event and some pictures of the event itself. Stay tuned for some cool events for the month of February.
Peace & Love

Many years ago when I was living in New York City, I went on a date with a man that I had a crush on for a long time. He was a musician. I was a dancer. After many nights of exchanging energy with him playing his instrument and me dancing in sync to each note, we exchanged phone numbers and went out on a date. On a warm autumn evening on a street corner in Brooklyn, under a flickering lamppost, I stood one step above him on the staircase of a brownstone building and we kissed. We kissed passionately, like enthusiastic teenagers who revel in the freedom of being adults and as the weight shifted and swayed between us, we lost our balance and we fell. He had a tear in his jeans, blood gushing from the cement rubbing against his knee and he got up with a little bit of a limp. I felt horrible and asked, "Are you ok?" He had the best response ever. He looked at me and said, "It's ok, we were made to heal."
Ramana Maharishi was a guru and teacher from India who taught the path to enlightenment by asking the question over and over again, "Who Am I?" More than reading books, learning mantras or spiritual pilgrimage, he believed the way in was this question. I went to the particular cave that he meditated in in Tiruvannamali, India in 2007 and when I sat there a great peace came over me where I felt that I too, could sit in meditation and solely connect with the etheric energetic magnificence that is the life force and essence of this world. I felt myself inspired to drift off into the ether and explore how much eternity I could experience beyond my senses. Until... I heard a message that said, "No. Your job this lifetime is not to sit still but to dance. The path of enlightenment through meditation and stillness is well documented, but the path of liberation through movement has been lost. Go dance and teach people how to find the divine within them that way."
If you follow this blog, you may have read my last couple posts Break On Through To the Other Side and Remembering Darkness as the Precursor to Creation. You may have gathered that I have been going through a hard time, heart break and another surrendering into the unknown. I feel perfectly in sync with the seasons, the days of summer, before beginning the process of autumn, of leaves falling from the trees, of remembering that life is a series of letting go. In the midst of this more challenging and initiatory time, I have come back to the words of my date that night and remembered that yes, we were made to heal and that one of the most powerful, healing, transformative ways I know to come back to what is beautiful, true, loving and joyous about life is movement and gratitude.
Movement: We've got you covered. Qoya is based on the idea that through movement, we remember. We remember our essence is wise, wild and free. Wise, wild and free also draw reference to the movement forms that we practice. Wise- calling on the wisdom of yoga. Wild- the creative expression in dance. Free- expanding our capacity to enjoy being in our bodies through sensual movement. Remembering that there is no way you can do it wrong and the way you know that you're doing it right, is that it feels good.
Gratitude: Did you know that Sunday, September 21st is not only the most perfect day to put on the song "September" by Earth, Wind and Fire and sing out loud, "Do you remember, the 21st night of September?" It's also International Gratitude Day AND it's the first day of the free offering by Dr. Lauren Tober of amazing interviews, an online community and a way to bring more gratitude into your life! Sign up here.
My favorite thing about gratitude is knowing that what you look for is what you see, if you look for gratitude, you will surely find it. The pain of wishing things were different than they are is healed by the gratitude for what is. And in the shamanic tradition of healing the first step to heal is when you can receive the gift of what has been. By looking for gratitude and expressing it, you begin the first step of your journey.
The two main take aways here are: #dancingmakeseverythingbetter and #gratitudeisasuperpower. Is that true for you too?
We would love to hear your stories of how this is true for you and if you would like some more support on integrating and incorporating this energy and these practices into your daily life, please check out our free videos online and the description on how to do a despacho ceremony with a new 11 minute instructional video!
We can't always choose what we need to heal, but we can choose how to engage the healing and use the balm of gratitude and call on the wisdom, wildness and freedom of our essence to help guide our way back to that eternal knowing that everything is going to be ok, because like a teacher of mine would say, "It's never what you think, it's always better."
We were made to heal.
And we were also made to dance.
So, let's dance!

We fund vital life-saving equipment that allows the clinical and research teams to take advantage of developments in medical science and technology to deliver better care to children.
The difference we make, together
With your help, we provide the high-tech hardware to ensure children at GOSH have access to the least invasive and most effective treatments available.
From live-saving defibrillators to the latest equipment for the rapid diagnosis of genetic conditions, your support enables the Charity to provide critical tools to help clinicians go above and beyond for the children at GOSH. The vital updating and modernisation of operating theatres, including the very latest scanning equipment, has only been possible with the assistance of the Charity.
The new Electronic Patient Record (EPR) system is set to have a truly transformational impact on every aspect of life in the hospital for everyone from specialist researchers to the patients themselves. The commitment of more than £30 million could be one of the most transformational investments we ever make.
Scanning the body with sound
The charity has funded a fleet of new ultrasound machines that are already benefitting young patients across the hospital. Pregnancy ultrasounds have been a routine part of maternity care in the UK for decades, but this imaging technology has many other important uses at GOSH.
Ultrasound opens a window on our insides, safely and without pain. Clinicians at GOSH use it to help diagnose complex conditions, guide expert hands during surgery, and make sure babies are developing as they should in the womb.
Meet Cody
Cody was born with a condition that affects blood vessels and can cause heart failure and problems with blood supply to the brain. After a CT scan at his local hospital, Cody was referred to GOSH with a diagnosis of Vein of Galen malformation. Only around 10 to 12 children in the UK are diagnosed with the condition each year. GOSH is the largest specialist hospital within the UK treating these children.
He was treated in one of GOSH's interventional radiology suites. The delicate procedure involved using ultrasound to guide careful insertion of tiny metal coils into an artery in Cody's leg. The coils were slowly worked all the way up to his brain to correct blood flow to the malformation.
It was a long five hours for Cody's Mum and Dad as they anxiously waited for his procedure to finish. Everything went well and further scans a few months later confirmed that the procedure had been a complete success. Mum Luisa said: "It was amazing...I'd spent months crying with fear and I just wanted to cry again!"

94 N. Main Street, Jasper, GA - (706) 253-2457
According to what many call the doomsday prophecy of 2012, the world will come to a screeching halt at midnight on December 21 of this year.
The "prophecy" comes from the fact that the ancient Mayan calendar, dating back more than 5,000 years, displays its last day on December 21, which corresponds with the winter solstice, or shortest day of the year.
What may cause some anxiety is that some interpret this as "the end of days," as if the sun isn't going to come up the next morning. But what isn't common knowledge is the Mayan view time as cyclical and repeating, not linear with a beginning and end, as Westerners do. To the Mayan people, it will be a time of great celebration. Just as we celebrate the New Year every year, they hold celebrations at the end of each Baktun. A Baktun is 144,000 days. What separates this day from the last 1,871,999 is that there isn't a fourteenth Baktun. The whole cycle starts over on what would be December 22, 2012 on the Gregorian calender.
Cataclysms are something we are fascinated by. We seem to love the idea that there will be an end and it will be tumultuous and only the good will prevail. It makes life more interesting. Religious people may think of this as a sort of spiritual cleansing, where all the sinners will be left here for trials and tribulations and the righteous will be called to Heaven.
Doomsayers believe there could be a plethora of disastrous scenarios that range from power outages to a world-wide flood akin to the story of Noah. "Preppers," who are readying for the end-of-days are stocking up on guns and ammo and building nuclear fallout shelters 20 feet under the ground with a hidden entrance.
Some may try to tie the prophecy to what happened in Y2K. Or, actually, what did not happen. But there's a big difference between these two events.
There actually was something to Y2K. In theory, all computers were going to reset to the year zero and since the memory is tied to the date of the files, all progress of the last century would virtually have been deleted. But thankfully, the reason we didn't have a massive computer meltdown – if not a genuine world meltdown - is that some genius thought about it in time to keep it from happening. So the "Y2K'ers" had actual tangible fears because imagine what would have happened if every computer inside every device in the world suddenly ceased to function.
Since computers are man-made, Y2K was preventable. But there is nothing we can do if something comes hurling through space and crashes into Earth, whether that be a meteor or a sun flare, or an army of invading alien space craft.
We are living on a very old planet. Geologists can't agree on the age, but it's around four billion, some say. Archeologists unearth fragments of the past every day which fracture the view we hold of ourselves and history as people. One only has to stay up-to-date to be humbled by these findings.
The idea of the Mayan doomsday prophecy actually has serious historical misinterpretations. It comes from a piece of art that was found a long time ago that was in one of the four surviving Mayan codices. The art shows what appears to be water coming from a reptilian creature's mouth while two gods stand by. The person who saw it didn't know anything about Mayan beliefs and thought since the two gods were black they must have been evil. Thing is, the gods are associated with creation, not destruction.
Other than that one painting, there is only one other mention of this time that comes up in all of the Mayan's writings. A sculpture that mentions the end of the 13th Baktun, and goes on to say what will happen, but the corner had been broken off so our fate will forever be a mystery. Well, at least until Dec. 22.

A county in South Wales, UK has produced a controversial television public service announcement that illustrates the dangers of texting while driving.
You can view the entire PSA here. Although it is dramatized, it is graphic and rather disturbing, nonetheless.
Although the spot certainly is memorable, the bigger issue is whether it will change behavior. It might, but I'm skeptical. The use of scare tactics to change antisocial behavior like drinking, drug abuse, and reckless driving seems to have a mixed track record of success.
A couple of well-known social marketing campaigns that have made an impact on behavior have been more subtle, but more personal. Like the Don't Mess With Texas campaign, which essentially makes Texans feel like a traitors to their state if they litter; or a successful anti-binge drinking campaign in Montana, which emphasizes that most kids do NOT binge drink, and therefore if you do, you are outside the norm.
Of course, more effective than any PSA would be laws, vigorously enforced, that make texting while driving illegal.
What do you think? Will this spot work?

text: When I asked a group of interns what they wanted to get out of their summer internships, the majority responded with vague answers about new opportunities. But one intern stood out and caught my attention: She stated her specific goal and told me exactly what she wanted next. I happily helped her make it happen, and it made me realize this: If you want specific help, make a specific ask.

Wilson High School Principal Pete Cahall came out to his students as gay at a school-wide Pride Day event Wednesday, shaking as he said that he had "hid in the shadows for the last 50 years" but was inspired by his students to declare his sexual orientation openly.
"I want to say publicly for the first time because of your leadership, care and support that I am a proud gay man who just happens to be the principal of Wilson High School," he said in the packed atrium at the D.C. school, flanked by Mayor Vincent C. Gray (D) and David Catania (I), the D.C. Council's first openly gay member.
Wilson Principal Pete Cahall comes out as gay to his students at Pride Day. Emotional moment and huge cheers. pic.twitter.com/7cXtMpR1NH — emma brown (@emmersbrown) June 4, 2014
The second annual lunchtime festival brought together more than 20 community organizations and government agencies that offer support and services for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning youth. Last year, students signed pledges to respect their LGBTQ colleagues.
Students greeted Cahall's announcement Wednesday with a loud, long cheer.
"I feel really proud of him, even though obviously he's an adult," said Marla Solow, 16, a junior who helped organize the Pride event. "I teared up … if it inspires other people to come out, that's great."
"I have so much respect for him to be able to do that," said Tao Marwell, a 17-year-old senior who said she identifies as queer. "It's a very brave thing to do."
Gray congratulated Cahall for "going public with who he is" and encouraged students to feel comfortable doing the same.
"There is nothing worse than walking around having to hide who you are," Gray said.
Catania, who came out as gay when he was 20, said he knew the "silent, quiet, isolating sense of desperation" of living in the closet, and said Cahall's announcement sent a message not just about acceptance and courage, but also about honesty and integrity. "I think this is the most important lesson that these students will learn this year," he said.

Students hugged Cahall after his announcement, and he said he felt relief, "like a ton of bricks lifted."
"I've hid all my life," Cahall said. "In this community, with these kids, I'd be a big hypocrite if I didn't speak my truth."
Westboro Baptist Church, the Kansas-based organization best known for anti-gay picketing at military funerals, announced that it would protest Wilson's Pride Day, though that protest is scheduled for next week, on Monday. Westboro announced plans to protest at other Washington institutions that the church believes have been too supportive of gay marriage, including the Supreme Court, the White House and Capitol Hill.
"You should be hanging your heads in shame for such a thing," the church wrote on its Web site.
Nearly 1,000 Wilson students have signed up for a peaceful counter protest.
Gray called Westboro's message a "disgrace."
"In my best Biblical reference, they can go straight to hell," Gray said.

Havana. Where do I begin? Spectacular, haunting, edgy, seductive: these are a few words that come to mind, but any and all of these may be poor representations of a city bursting with contradiction. Cuba is impossible to put into words. I left bewildered but also intrigued and eager to return and explore more of the country.
We stayed in a casa particular, a privately owned B & B, called Casa Blanca. Jorge, our host, explained that the government began allowing Cubans to rent out rooms in their homes in 1997, a period of economic crisis. Today, there are thousands of casas particulares scattered around the island. A well-preserved colonial mansion built in the 1920s, Casa Blanca has fifteen foot ceilings, a marble staircase, pristine crown molding, and is furnished with Spanish-influenced antique furniture.
Staying in a casa particular was a fabulous way to meet locals, and provided us with a much more direct and authentic experience. Jorge welcomed us like family: Mi casa es su casa, he would often say.
We were graciously invited for dinner, had our fair share of rum and cokes (apparently the secret is in adding a hint of crème de menthe to the mixture!) and shared many stories over café con leche on the veranda. When we asked our host about the once spectacular and beautiful house across the street, Jorge explained that the home—now literally a skeleton of its former self—now belongs to the government. The owner fled Cuba to pursue opportunities abroad, and when his son visited the home years later, he was so shocked by the decay he wept.
Even while inside their homes, I noticed that Habaneros, or the people of Havana, live their lives as if out in the open. Their doors and windows remain ajar. Squealing children, a few locals arguing over the latest baseball scores or the neighbourhood roosters will likely be your morning alarms.
We spent quite a bit of time exploring the old city, Havana vieja. Havana was once known as the Paris of Latin America; the claustrophobic cobblestoned streets, hidden bookshops and bustling corner cafes might just remind you of the Latin Quarter in the French capital. We returned twice to a fittingly named Café Paris to listen to live salsa music over cafés con leche.
Taxi drivers never failed to try and find a connection: Mucho mucho frío! (Very very cold!), several commented when we mentioned that we were from Canada. We would laugh, nodding our heads in agreement sliding around in the backseat as they weaved precariously between cars.
One particular driver, Angel, took great care and drove at a snail's pace through the lively streets so were weren't to miss anything.
The roads and alleyways were always bustling with people, people singing, gesturing or dancing. I don't move quite as easily as the Cubans. "Your hips just need a little oil," Jorge joked.
Many Cubans seemed oblivious to the decay around them; while at first I found the rubble shocking, I too quickly became accustomed and not once did I feel unsafe. There is an unusual and moving charm to the faded beauty.
Many Cubans seemed oblivious to the decay around them; while at first I found the rubble shocking, I too quickly became accustomed and not once did I feel unsafe. There is an unusual and moving charm to the faded beauty.
Visiting the island is as if you have been transported back several decades, and yet this isolation from the majority of the outside world has created a resilient and extremely proud nation. Last year, relations between Cuba and the United States were normalized, though the trade embargo is still in effect. This has left Cubans fearful of what the future may bring; most of those we spoke to expressed a desire for change, but also that this change happen on their own terms.
Toward the end of our trip, we spent an afternoon visiting Finca La Vigía, Ernest Hemingway's former home on the outskirts of Havana. In his famous novella The Old Man and the Sea (completed in part at this very site), he writes: "Now is no time to think of what you do not have. Think of what you can do with what there is." At this time in Cuba's history, this perhaps rings truer than ever.
Whenever and wherever I travel it is always the raw, visceral experiences I remember most. I can still picture one taxi driver, Alberto, sharing his chocolate filled cookies with us as we drove along the Malecón, an eight kilometre coastal drive and a popular meeting place for lovers and strangers alike. I recommend taking a stroll along the boardwalk around dusk, just in time to watch the sun vanish from the horizon and cast a shadow over the city forgotten in time. I recall the local fruit market owner's smile as he watched my sister and I carefully choose our selection of imperfect tomatoes, small green peppers, and ripe Chiquita bananas—not sure how much things cost, we offered our open palms full of change and he simply and genuinely collected what we owed. I smile thinking of the waitress who giggled at my poor Spanish as I ordered the Langosta Veracruz at Doña Juana in Vedado (a must try!).
While I can't capture Havana in its entirety (perhaps no one can), I can offer a little advice. Go while you can—Cuba won't remain trapped in a time capsule forever. And most importantly, arrive with a thirst for strong mojitos, a little salsa in your step and a mind wide open. Let the magic seduce you.

Household hazardous waste permits
If you take any chemicals (eg bleach), gloss or lead based paints or sprays, or asbestos to a HWRC (tip), you need a waste permit.
Apply for a waste permit online. A QR code will be sent to you which will be scanned at the tip from your mobile device or from a printout. If you are printing your permit please print A4 and in black and white. Open up the permit to print it rather than printing straight from the browser.
You can also contact us or pick one up from your local customer access points if you prefer a paper copy. You will not get a permit straight away if you do this.
How to use a waste permit that includes hazardous waste
- The hazardous waste permit is only valid for the date you arrange it for.
- The details of the waste on your permit must match what you bring.
- You can only apply for one permit at a time.
- An individual permit can include multiple items of hazardous, garden or mixed waste, but you must use a tip that can accept hazardous waste if you include it.

The MUFON case files have a recent entry by someone who experienced not only a UFO aboard a commercial airliner en route to Louisville, but apparently a case of mass hypnosis as well:
I noticed a sphere about the size of a compact car approximately 200 feet off the wing of the plane.
It was dull in color. An unpolished metal nearly exact in the image of a VERY large ball bearing, it was perfect in it's spherical shape. Always looking for a logical, scientific explanation to anything paranormal first,I assumed it was a tiny bubble in the glass of the window or ice on the glass of the window. I studied it for about a minute and was astonished when i witnessed it move behind a small cloud.
I immediately looked down the aisle and noticed many other passengers were looking outside the window at the object as well. I looked at the object again and noticed it never swayed, dove or maneuvered at all. It was very static in it's position. This made me skeptical. How can any craft fly alongside another craft and never move, in any manner from it's present position? Anything in flight is always fighting the physics of the atmosphere every second i.e. barometric pressure, wind, air pockets, friction, etc...
I looked for an explanation. Maybe some strange tether to a weather balloon or refraction of light on the window? There was no physical explanation. It was what it was. My mind raced as I tried to understand how something so non-aerodynamic could possibly create lift. I looked for some sort of glow or exhaust or any type of radiation to explain it's terrestrial origin. Nothing. It sat at one position with no presence of any mechanical movement. It appeared as if it was observing us, though there were no visual ports or windows.
I didn't take my eyes off of the object as I knew I was witnessing something extraordinary and oddly beautiful. I, for the first time in my life was truly in awe. We traveled into a thick cloud formation. I witnessed the sphere pass through a patch of thick cloud and never resurface. as soon as it appeared it was gone.
Here is where things got weird. I looked down the aisle to hopefully catch eye contact with someone who was witnessing this event and could discuss this. What I witnessed next shook me to my core. All other witnesses, approximately 20 plus, just leaned back into their seats and continued reading their books, newspapers and laptops as if nothing happened. Why was I the only person who felt as if I just witnessed a magnificent moment? Whether it was a higher intelligence or something we created, it was a beautiful moment.
I reflected on this for several minutes up to the final hour of our flight. Once we reached our terminal,I had totally forgotten the entire experience. How could this happen? How could I forget an experience that shook my entire core and being? Several years later I started to slowly recall my experience. Why did the other passengers not even have any sign of expression on their face after the incident? Why did I totally forget the entire experience until many years later?

Some RV models by Newmar include the Aire series, the Star series, the Essex and the Ventana. The company refers to its vehicles as "motor coaches," and they are generally designed for the high-end luxury market.
The Aire series includes the King Aire, London Aire and Mountain Aire. The King Aire features premium amenities such as Ralph Lauren Home Collection fabrics and a king-size Sleep Number adjustable bed. The London Aire and Mountain Aire are similarly luxurious models aimed at the premium market.
The Star series includes the Dutch Star, Canyon Star, Bay Star and Bay Star Sport. These are also high-end models comparable to the Aire series, though Newmar does not classify them as luxury models. These run on standard gas, with the exception of the Dutch Star.
The Ventana and Ventana LE are also high-end Class A models. The primary difference is that they run on diesel rather than standard gas. The Essex is a luxury model that runs on gas.
Newmar offers customers the option of building their own coaches using a step-by-step design tool on its website. One of the existing models must be used as a base, but customers can customize aspects such as the exterior design and interior decor.

Complete Review of El Nido's Best Island Hopping Tours with Caera Travel Tours
Island Hopping Tours from Palawan
El Nido is set in a boat-filled bay with cliffs looming in the background. Though the town is charming in itself, the beauty that we were seeking was just a boat ride away.
The Philippines is a country made up of 7,107 islands, and more than 1,700 of those belong to Palawan. And so it seems fitting that one activity everyone seems to do while in El Nido is to partake in the famous island hopping tours.
There are tons of tour operators in El Nido, and they all offer the same itineraries. Just do a simple Google search, and you'll find that the best and most popular tours are undoubtedly A and C. Since we only had time for two, we trusted in the advice of others before us, and weren't disappointed.
Before you set sail on your island hopping adventure, don't forget to do this... you'll thank us later.
Though all the companies stop at the same places during their tours, the service and food differs. We did both tours through a reputable company called Caera Travel Tours, and would highly recommend them. They are known for being environmentally conscious and have played an instrumental role in sustainable tourism in El Nido.
Where to stay in El Nido:
Spin Designer Hostel - El Nido: With some of the highest reviews in all of El Nido, this laid back hostel is the perfect place to relax after a long day of island hopping. They have dorm rooms and private rooms at great prices. And with only 600 meters to the beach, what's not to love!
Tour A - 1,200 PHP per person ($27 USD)
Right away, we met our guide, Brandon, who was funny, professional, and informative – everything you'd want in an island hopping guide!
Our boat set out just a little after the other groups had left. This meant that we had each stop pretty much to ourselves, as the other tours had already moved on.
Here's a breakdown of tour A:
Small Lagoon – Swim through a small opening to reveal a picture perfect lagoon. Be sure to swim all the way to the other side where there is a small cave to explore.
Big Lagoon – Crystal clear waters make this area great for snorkeling.
Shimizu Island – This island has a small, shaded beach and makes for a perfect lunch spot
Prior to stopping here, we had seen the crew filleting giant fish and cutting fruit with finesse, but we had no idea just how much food we would be served. A large, wooden table was carried onto the sand, along with real plates and silverware. Platter after platter were set on the table, until there was no longer any room. We feasted on crabs, shrimp, fish, chicken, pork, rice, fruit, and my favorite – tomato and eggplant salad. We were certainly spoiled!
Secret Lagoon – Pass through a hole in the rocks and find a shallow lagoon surrounded by huge rock walls.
7 Commando Beach – This beach is a little more developed than the rest on the stops on the tour – it even has cabanas and a volleyball net. Make your way to the smoothie stand and order a coconut (with a splash of rum!) for a refreshing drink to sip as you watch the sun start to set.
Tour C - 1,400 PHP per person ($32 USD)
Here's a breakdown of Tour C:
Helicopter Island – This beach is packed with beautiful coral, but the abundance of jellyfish makes it difficult to snorkel here for very long.
Hidden Beach – Unfortunately, this beach was closed because Israeli Survivor was being filmed while we were there… or was it Swedish Survivor? There were a few rumors floating around, but it was too bad we couldn't get a glimpse.
Matinloc Shrine – This old monastery was abandoned because there weren't enough funds to keep it going. The shrine had sort of an eerie, yet regal feel. Be sure to climb up the rock path beside the shrine. The view overlooking the sea is stunning. There just aren't words. Tip: On the way there, look for flying fish – we saw tons!
Lunch was served on the boat in a little bay area. The food was just as good as the previous day.
Secret Beach – Let me first dispel the myth that this beach is "secret". Contrary to its name, many visitors come to this beach every day on island hopping tours, and it is by no means unknown. Even so, this was the highlight of the Tour C.
Jump off the boat and swim through transparent waters to a small opening in the rocks. Pass through and you will arrive in another world. Jagged rock faces tower 50 to 100 meters high and surround a small beach.
Because we weren't able to see Hidden Beach, we went to another remote cove that is not typically on the tour route. The water was an almost milky turquoise, unlike anything I've ever seen. We floated and splashed around until it was time to head back to town.
By now you know it's hard for me to pick favorites, but Alex, Ben and I collectively agreed that we liked Tour A slightly better.

Our island hopping excursions were complimentary, thanks to Caera Travel Tours. As always, all opinions are our own.

A knock at the hotel door turned out to be a rapist who forced his way in attacking the female victim. The incident was reported to Murfreesboro Police on Friday night in the area of S. Church St. at the Select Inn around 8:00.
According to the victim, she was sitting in her room when she heard a knock on the door. The victim opened the door and an unknown black male forced his way inside attacking the female who was in the room by herself.
Police have few details to go by at this point, but the case is under investigation.

September 2017 - RUNNING STOCKADE-ATHON
Stockade-athon 15K
Oldest 15K Road Race in the USA
By Ray Newkirk
The 42nd running of the MVP Health Care Stockade-athon 15K takes place on Sunday, November 12 at 8:30am in Schenectady. This year's race will have some positive changes in store. It's still a Hudson-Mohawk Road Runners Club event. It will run through the beautiful Stockade Historic District in Schenectady. The age-group awards will still be unique, locally-made pottery. Food and drinks will be ample. The entry fees are the same. And the sponsors – MVP Health Care, Fleet Feet Sports, and the Schenectady Y – are still on board.
But some things have changed. The new race directors are myself, Ed Neiles, Brian and Jessica Northan and Jon Rocco.
While prize money is still available – $7,500 in total, with $5,250 going to male and female open, masters, and age-graded runners and $2,250 to male and female open and masters teams – the winners will need to be "local" to cash in. According to co-race director, Brian Northan, "local" is broadly defined. To be eligible for cash prizes, runners will need to live in specified New York counties (Albany, Schenectady, Rensselaer, Fulton, Greene, Columbia, Schoharie, Montgomery, Saratoga, Warren, or Washington) or in Berkshire County, Mass., or Bennington County, Vv. HMRRC members are eligible regardless of residence, but will have to have been members before June 1.
"We want to support our local runners with this change," noted Brian. "We have some very competitive local athletes in all age groups. Keeping prize money local recognizes these athletes' year-round contributions to the local running scene. And, of course, we want to highlight the benefits of being an HMRRC member." Five-year age-group awards are not restricted by geography.
A second change is the introduction of a team relay, the MVP Stockade Cup. Teams must be composed of full-time employees of business organizations, including not-for-profits. Each team will consist of three members, each of whom runs a 5K leg. Cups will be awarded to both male and female teams, with no co-ed teams. Relay runners will get individual times for their legs, and there is a prize structure for the fastest relay runners.
"The relay is something we're experimenting with and I think it's a great idea," Brian added. In 2017, we're limiting participation to 100 teams, with no more than six teams coming from any one employer. We want to make sure we have the logistics worked out. Buses will be transporting runners to and from the 5K and 10K points in the race, so it's a bit tricky. If runners and their employers like it, and everything works as planned, we may expand the relay in 2018."
Providing shirts to runners isn't new. But the Stockade-athon hopes that its commemorative shirt, available to the first 1,500 registrants, will stand out. A five-color design will make 2017's gender-specific long-sleeve tech shirt distinctive, something runners will want to wear. Relay participants will also get a five-color shirt, but with a different design and in a different color.
The Children's One-Half Mile Run is 11am at City Hall, presented by MVP Health Care and Schenectady YMCA. This is a non-competitive run for ages 12 and younger. Kids run entry is free but all participants must be registered prior to race day.
Registration is open for individuals, team relay and children's run at stockadeathon.com. Register early to save money.
Ray Newkirk (email@example.com) is president of Hudson-Mohawk Road Runners Club in Albany.

Grains: The Foundation of a Healthy Diet
Grains are low in fat and provide essential vitamins, minerals, and fiber. They are the source of complex carbohydrates in your diet. But the wrong kinds of grain products can lead you to eat too many calories without getting beneficial nutrients.
The grains group has been the source of the greatest controversy among health professionals. Critics think that too much emphasis is placed on carbohydrates as a foundation of a healthy diet and that the number of recommended servings is too high.
It's true that croissants, donuts, cookies, muffins, cake, and other high fat and sugar items are in this group because they can fit into a healthy diet — just not every day, and probably not more than once a week if you're trying to lose weight. Because they provide more calories than nutrients, keep them to a minimum. The healthier choice is anything whole grain in a reasonable portion.
Make sure that at least three of your grain servings each day are whole grains — whole-wheat bread or cereal, for example. Use the ingredient labels to find the products with whole grains: You want whole wheat or other whole grain to be the first ingredient. Sugar, oil, and fats should be last on the list, if they appear at all.
Serving sizes for grains include the following:
1 slice of bread
Half a hamburger or hot dog bun
Half an English muffin or a 2 1/2-inch bagel
1 small roll, biscuit, or muffin (about 1 ounce each)
1 ounce ready-to-eat cereal
5 to 6 small crackers (saltine size)
2 to 3 large crackers (graham cracker square size)
4-inch pita bread (white or wheat)
3 medium hard breadsticks, about 4 3/4 inches long
9 animal crackers
1/2 cup cooked cereal, pasta, or rice
One 7-inch flour or corn tortilla
2 corn taco shells
Nine 3-ring pretzels or 2 pretzel rods
1/5 of a 10-inch angel food cake
1/16 of a two-layer cake
3 rice or popcorn cakes
2 cups air-popped popcorn
12 tortilla chips
Fiber comes from the grains group, the fruit and vegetable group, legumes in the meat group and from nuts. Essentially, fiber is a carbohydrate that can't be digested. A healthy diet has 25 to 35 grams each day. High-fiber diets are associated with less heart disease and diabetes.

During an in-depth look at sexual assaults in the military on Veterans Day, Ari Rabin-Havt, host of The Agenda on SiriusXM Progress, took a call from Todd from Wisconsin, a military veteran who was brave enough to share the story of his own attack while stationed in California.
After he and other victims came forward, and the assailant was sentenced to seven years in prison, Todd says the ensuing persecution of him and the other victims spiraled into years of alcoholism, depression, and attempts at suicide.
"Until more men speak up, I don't think… Congress will take (military sexual assaults) as seriously as (they need to). It's not going to hit home to them if (only) women speak up. They view them as sexual objects instead of military members," Todd said.

What if you could could access all your corporate documents from your phone or tablet? What if your documents were automatically secured based on what they are (ex: accounting, HR) not what random folder you store them in? What if your systems could handle compliance for you instead of adding more work?
Document management systems (DMS) and their advanced counterparts Enterprise Information Managment (EIM) systems are a sorely underutilized product in small and medium businesses. There are plenty of reasons why, some real, some that are misconceptions. Then there are all the benefits your business can gain from a DMS.
Disclaimer: Technology Pointe is an M-Files partner. While all of my points below relate to MFiles, many apply to other doucment management systems as well.
A quick introduction to metadata
Metadata is one of the key parts of a powerful DMS. This is the keystone of the "what not where" system of organization. Each document that is added to the DMS has multiple pieces of metadata associated: filename, type of document ("class" in M-Files), client, etc. Some metadata can be required, the rest is optional (required is denoted by the asterisk next to the property name below). Here is an example document from the Technology Pointe M-Files vault:
With a properly designed metadata system, it is easy to find what you what you want - invoice from Microsoft
Benefits of a Document Management System
Compliance: HIPAA, ISO, SOX, SSAE16, FDA Part 11. If any of those acronyms keep you up at night, a DMS can help. A good DMS can implement the required levels of auditing to track all user activity, as well as managing training and tracking accountability via eSignitures.
Organization: how many times have you racked your brain trying to remember what folder you saved a file in? With the metadata system in a DMS, you can save and find things by what they are, not where. For example, looking for last year's budget? Just navigate to the finance documents, then budgets, then sort by year. Or better yet, use the search functionality. "Google for documents" is what several clients have told me. Search not only the file names, but also the metadata and even the content inside the documents in many cases.
Security: network drive permission can be a stressful concern for executives. Is this folder locked down properly? Is this file stored in the right place to make sure it is secure? With a DMS, files are secured based off what they are. Is something tagged as an HR document? Only the HR department and executives can access it. Tagged for a specific client? Only that client's team can view it. Viewing permissions is just a click away as well, so users can easily confirm that the document is secure.
Mobile access: All sorts of solutions for accessing network drives from your phone and tablet exist, some which work better than others. A good DMS system includes native apps for viewing on your iPhone/iPad or Android device. Search and view just like you would on your computer.

After the last two elections and 8 years of a wide range of questionable acts, realizing the large amount of lies used to manipulate us and failure (and collapses) on so many levels of our world and lives by George W Bush, it was with bated breath that I waited for the results on the general election for 2008. Sure, the one promising hope, change for the better, so many good things and the one I was voting for certainly looked like he was going to win. However, my history from the past two elections had been that just because people had good/positive/different ideas, did not mean that they would win. Somehow the status quo always disappointed me in the end.
Obama won though. He won! It seems that if any good came from that last 8 years it would be the evidence that at least Bush has the ability to unite a nation to clean up after his failed experiments with democracy.
"It's been a long time coming, but tonight, because of what we did on this day, in this election, at this defining moment, change has come to America."
(if you can't see the above, please go to: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=otA7tjinFX4)
No matter who you voted for, it is an undeniable fact that we have made history, that we are living in incredible times (whether they frighten or joyously excite you). Out walking the day after the election, I looked up and saw something beautiful – the weather, the sky that day. All day here it was gloomy out. It didn't actually rain and when I went outside the sky was gray, a thin layer of clouds covering the entire sky … but there was the sun, still shining through. I thought that was such a beautiful, simple sign – dark times but the sun still shining through all the same.
" I congratulate {McCain} and Governor Palin for all they have achieved, and I look forward to working with them to renew this nation's promise in the months ahead."
(if you can't see the above, please go to: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qxuo91L5f9Q)
For the first time in a very long time, I can openly and honestly say, I'm damn proud to be an American and my faith in the majority of our people is restored. We're no longer giving in to fear and have proven we can stand up against "the man". It's a good time to be alive now. Cheers to Obama and Biden … high-five to all the people that made it possible and to the ones who may have voted for someone else, but are still embracing the possibilities of the outcome of the 2008 election.
His speech was wonderful and moving ... keep watching the bits I have in this entry. When Obama mentioned McCain in his speech (it's in the bit above, actually), the crowd still cheered. And, yes, they lost, but when McCain mentioned Obama in his speech before that there were sections of the crowd that boo'ed. I thought that was awful.
"This victory alone is not the change we seek, it is only the chance for us to make that change."
(if you can't see the above, please go to: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHCRqX6-zXw)
I hope my friends in the military will no longer by subject to fighting illegitimate wars, but fighting for the good, for the betterment of all that we believe in and defending the honor the president soon ending his terms has tarnished. I have hope for all the hard working and middle-class people who will soon, if all goes well, no longer be screwed by an unfair tax system. I hope Obama can live up to his promises and am looking forward to a bright future ahead that he has in mind. I hope a breath of fresh air is what we need and does make a difference.
"that while we breathe, we hope, and where we are met with cynicism, and doubt, and those who tell us that we can't, we will respond with that timeless creed that sums up the spirit of a people: Yes We Can"
(if you can't see the above, please go to: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p9Th4eiZ_c8)
My old college friend, Phil put it beautifully-
To everyone who voted with hate in their hearts...let me just say this: no, you couldn't.
To everyone who didn't vote against Obama but instead voted against "the black one," no. You couldn't.
To everyone who spread lies about our new president, and about his family, and to everyone who believed that this was the honorable way to compete for leadership of our nation and the world...no, you couldn't.
To everyone who spent eight years gloating over the disenfranchisement of the youth vote...no, you couldn't.
To everyone who voted in hypocrisy, decrying Obama as inexperienced but perfectly happy to have an incompetent hockey mom as next in line to lead...no, you couldn't.
To everyone who turned the presidential campaign of a war hero into a disgusting spiral of venom and accusations...no, you couldn't.
To everyone who exhausted every resource, be it physical, verbal, digital, to keep young people and minorities home on election day...no, you couldn't.
To everyone who felt that our biggest obligation on Election Day was to maintain the status quo...no, you couldn't.
But to everyone who voted for McCain because they sincerely felt he was the better man for the job: welcome aboard. Yesterday we all had different presidents in mind. Today we only have one. We can do this together. And you won't be disappointed.

One day of seasonable weather, and now we're heading back into the deep freeze. Propane prices have skyrocketed, so we've got the thermostat turned down and are keeping the wood stove going good. I just can't believe the price of propane; a month ago 300 gallons cost us $430, now 100 gallons is going to be $520, and with this weather, that'll last a couple of weeks.
I've been doing a lot of drawing during the day, since my drawing table is in a south facing room, and I can soak up the sun in there. I'm hooked on a new author, Laurie R. King, and her Mary Russell series (been listening to the audiobooks while drawing). She writes a bit like Elizabeth Peters with the Amelia Peabody series, although her books are darker, especially the one describing the WWI period. Here's the latest progress on my elk drawing:
I've still been working on murrini tests, but nothing spectacular so far. Maybe once I get them into beads where they're really hit with a lot of fluctuations in heat/propane/oxy they'll look more interesting. Here's what I mean, the first picture is just a test of the murrini,
but here's what it looks like worked on a bead,
I really like the way it spread in the encased murrini (the left one).
I've got some nice beads that I've got to get listed,
And here's a couple funny Internet pics,

The great thing about Disk Drill is that you don't have to buy the software until you are sure that the file you need can be recovered. Always download the free Disk Drill Basic first, and scan your files. Once you have located and successfully previewed the files you wish to recover, it is time to upgrade to Disk Drill PRO.
The Benefits of Upgrading
While Disk Drill Basic allows you to scan for lost files and preview the files it finds, only Disk Drill PRO will allow you to restore and access those files.
Upgrade Options
You have two licensing options when upgrading Disk Drill:
- PRO – The PRO edition is for personal use only. It allows you to install Disk Drill only on Macs that you own and can only be used to recover data from hard drives and other media that belong to you. It cannot be used for money-making purposes.
- Enterprise – This is a commercial license that allows you to install Disk Drill and recover files on any Mac, anywhere. It allows multiple users — any employee in your company can use Disk Drill. They can use it on all of your company's computers and your client's computers. Once data recovery is complete, you must uninstall Disk Drill PRO from client-owned computers (but you can install Disk Drill Basic for ongoing data protection).
Note: If you'd like your clients to have their own Disk Drill PRO license, ask us about our partner discounts.
How to Upgrade
When you are ready to upgrade, take the following steps:
- Be sure that you have installed Disk Drill Basic, scanned for lost files and confirmed that you can successfully preview the files you wish to recover.
- From inside the app, go to Disk Drill > Upgrade Your License, select the licensing option you need, and complete your purchase. (If you wish to upgrade from PRO to Enterprise, go to Disk Drill > Need a Bigger License.)
- You're done. Your PRO or Enterprise license will be auto-activated and you will receive an email confirmation of your purchase.
You can now proceed to How to Recover Files with Disk Drill PRO.

Jet Bikes, Burnt Legs: Nurio Fujikawa's Speedster
April 28th, 2009
I still haven't seen the Wachowski brother's take on Speed Racer yet, and I know that for some people that's a crime of high movie treason. After all, The Matrix might have been the most important science fiction movie since Star Wars, and as for the rest of the trilogy and those of you who are still mad about the way the trilogy ended, here's a bit of advice for you: in stories about a guy nicknamed The One, chances are overwhelming that he has to die. An unmartyred Messiah can't really be a Messiah, now can he? But Speed Racer. . . . I never really liked the cartoon in reruns and am not old enough to think that old anime still looks cool. In fact, most of the people in early anime look as if they're either passed out drunk or too easily surprised to me. I get he sense that designer and motor enthusiast Norio Fujikawa feels the same way, and God Bless him.
That's not to say I'm not a fan of the concept of flying cars though. I really do hate traffic and wouldn't mind the idea of zipping through SUV after SUV on a bike so fast it levitates. Most of the times I've seen jet-powered bikes, they were cumbersome, crazy-looking machines that seems as if one ride on them would blow the legs off of anyone who decided to ride it. In most cases of the videos I've seen of jet-powered bikes, the legs were out of sight right along with the bike. I couldn't find one of this bike in the field, but my guess is that it'd make the Mach 3 look pretty outdated. I mean, wheels? They would just slow this thing down.

Below is a quick glimpse of how The Rocket Company helps churches breakthrough.
Through years of personal interaction with thousands of churches, we've seen three key issues rise to the top.
So we started GivingRocket.com in 2010 to help churches have more money for ministry through increased giving. Our goal was to provide top shelf ministry coaching at affordable pricing.
We quickly learned that money wasn't the only issue affecting senior leaders. There was great pain in preaching, as well.
We knew that the church and unchurched alike choose churches based on preaching. Most pastors don't have a coaching system or any plan for improvement. The sermon may not be the most important thing the pastor does, but it's certainly the most visible. In 2012, we partnered with our friend, Jeff Henderson and PreachingRocket.com was born. Over 30,000 pastors around the world watched the kickoff event.
That same year we also launched VolunteerRocket.com with Tony Morgan and WorshipRocket.com with Todd Fields.
Pastors weren't just connecting with the rocket coaching content but to the Rocket community and our team. The more connected pastors became, the more successful the coaching was in their church.
Pastors know everyone, but are usually known by no one. Pastors began talking about life with each other. As we were providing great content and coaching, the pastors were becoming some of our best friends. We received messages, chats, texts and tweets about life stuff - real stuff. Pastors told us about being lonely, their marriage issues, their children being gay and spouses walking out.
While we thought the biggest need was giving, we began to see it was actually life in general. Pastors are real people with real lives and need a community to belong to that is deeper than the next eBook or blog.
They need a place to share life.
We want to help churches with more than just giving, preaching, volunteers, or worship. We want to help churches, period. The mission of The Rocket Company is bigger than any specific topic.
