There is a wonderful old Russian folk tale about the family in a sled being chased by ferocious wolves. To slow down the wolves, thinking to protect the remaining family members, they threw children overboard.
That story comes to mind as we watch the law and accounting firms, chased by the wolves of a depressing economy, decimate their firms by furloughing or firing staff, deferring new hires, cutting salaries,and otherwise taking draconian measures to slash costs and, presumably, to save firms. In too many cases, these actions are precipitous and short sighted, with no view of the future. There is a notion that when economic conditions improve, there will be a large pool of talent waiting to be recalled. Maybe, but not likely. It seems probable that in too many cases, this kind of thinking will reduce once vibrant firms to impotent skeletons in a highly competitive market. For larger firms, pursuing these practices may mean creating firms that of themselves will substantially alter the nature of legal or accounting practice. For the accountants and lawyers jettisoned under these policies, it means living with regret at having wasted all those years, all that education and all those apprenticeships, and all that money, to no fulfillment of promise.If the downturn lasts long enough, it means monumental changes in career plans. And who will be able to wait around waiting for the law and accounting firms to recover? What can be done now that anticipates functioning successfully as recovery kicks in?

5 hour layover
Trip Start
Mar 03, 2011
Trip End
Mar 27, 2011
Where I stayed
Red Carpet Lounge, O'Hare International Airport
The weather in Chicago is currently 33�F with winds gusting to 19 mph to make it feel like a balmy 19�F. Bill (in short sleeves and no coat) found the outdoor walk from the airplane to the terminal invigorating. The rest of us (who were properly dressed) were quite glad to finish the 200 yard walk in the brisk wind.
The team had a bite to eat at the "Golden Arches" knowing that this would be the last opportunity to eat American fast food for a while. We're currently enjoying a 5 hour layover in the Red Carpet Lounge with free Wi-Fi! Awesome.
Time to get some work done...

Why aren't you drinking…LaCroix?
Dec 30th
Seltzer water is an acquired taste. And I've got it.
Instead of drinking soda around our house, when my kids have a craving for bubbles, I like to give them LaCroix seltzer water.
I usually mix LaCroix with fresh juice to give it some flavor (and to clean out my fruit drawer–mandarin oranges that might be too sour for eating are perfect squeezed into a drink). When I don't have the time or the fruit on hand, I'll use boxed orange, pineapple, or apple juice.
Alone, I find juice is just too sweet straight, and seltzer alone, too boring. Together, they make the perfect combo for kids–they feel like they're getting a treat, while I know they're getting fewer calories and sugar than if they were drinking soda or even juice.
So for New Year's Eve if you're looking for something for your kids to drink besides soda (or you!), pick up some LaCroix. I'd suggest that you fill their glasses first halfway with seltzer water and then the rest of the way with the heavier fruit juice.
As a side note, after extensive testing I find that LaCroix is better than the store brand seltzers which tend to be way too bubbly and to loose their bubbles much faster. I know, I know, I've given this way too much thought:)
How about you–what do you give your kids when they want something special to drink?
Pretty mini-quiches
Dec 28th
A few weeks ago I tried out crustless quiche on a whim and it was a big hit at my house. I became a fan too–the recipe was so versatile and fast that I could make a meal in under 10 minutes (well, baking time took longer, of course). Serve a slice of quiche with a generous salad and dinner is done.
But then I wanted to get a little creative, try out spinach in the quiche, or maybe roasted veggies, breakfast sausage in some and ham in another. I wondered if I could use ramekins in place of a pie plate so that each person could have their own quiche and choose what ingredients they wanted. It was kind of like make-your-own pizza, but with quiche.
Putting the ramekins together takes a little more work than a single quiche, but not much. You'll need to lightly coat each ramekin with baking spray. Put about 1/8 cut of ingredients into the bottom of the ramekin and then pour the egg mixture on top.
I filled a pan with various ramekin sizes (4 and 7 ounces) and quiche flavors–spinach and gruyere, cheddar and sausage, ham and potatoes. And yes, you can make these a day ahead and reheat them. Plus they slide right out of the ramekin so if you want to serve them out of the dish, you can.
So if you're looking for something fun for New Year's Day to serve to your crew, try out these mini-quiches. (And then next week when you need a quick dinner–yup, you can try these out again just with different fixins.)
Here's a few tweaks to the crustless quiche recipe to make the mini version.
- Instead of greasing a pie plate, use 6, 7-oz ramekins or 8, 4-oz ramekins (or a combination)
- Fill each ramekin with about 1/8-1/4 cup fixins of your choice (sausage, spinach, roasted veggies, diced ham)
- Pour the egg mixture on top of the fixins.

Holiday Wassail
Dec 23rd
I'd always wondered what the holiday song meant, "Here we come a-wasailling/ among the leaves so green." That is, until my mother-in-law offered me a mug of wassail years ago. The spicy, tart drink reminded me of a punchier apple cider. And the simmering wassail on the stovetop made the whole house smell like Christmas (no wonder, it has a full tablespoon of allspice in the mix).
When I tried to hunt down a recipe for wassail online I was surprised by all the entries. Wassail has some history! Apparently, wassail dates back to Medieval times. (Possibly even farther. Scratching your head at just when 'Medieval' would be? Try 5th to the 15th century. Still scratching? Me too. Think: Monty Python and the Holy Grail . The word 'wassail' comes from a combination of 'was hail' which is how the Saxons would greet each other–and say good-bye. I guess a modern day equilvalent might be, "Whassup?"
But it seems there's even more to the story. I'm no historian, but doing a little Google digging led me to entries about how wassailing, which is now also a term for 'caroling', may date back to a feudal custom practiced during the winter solstice. There was a tradition for the feudal lords (think: land owners) to offer food and drink in exchange to blessings from the pheasants who lived on their land. The whole idea in "We Wish You a Merry Christmas" of "Now bring me some figgy pudding" makes more sense when you have this in mind (I'd always wondered about that line).
While I find the history of wassail intriguing, what I like is the whole idea of inviting over friends to go Christmas caroling, then coming back for mugs of warm citrusy cider. I think I'll try that this year, but as far as the figgy pudding, I'll pass.
Have you ever tried wassail? Did you like it? What about going a-wassailing?
Here's Mama G's recipe for Wassail
Servings: 10+
Prep time: 30 minutes
2 quarts water
1 c. sugar
6 sticks cinnamon
10 cloves
1 T. Whole allspice
2, 12 oz. cans frozen orange juice
1, 12 oz can frozen lemonade
1 gallon apple cider
- In a large cooking pot bring the water, sugar, and spices to a boil (the mixture will become syrupy). Boil for 10 minutes and then lower the temperature to a simmer for half an hour.
- Remove the cloves and cinnamon.
- Add the concentrated juices and cider into the spiced syrup.
- Heat together. Serve warm.
3 Easy candy cane-inspired treats
Dec 21st
Did you forget someone? If you're like me you thought you had made a list of all the people to give treats to, intended to get it done the first week of December. Then, it didn't happen. Second week of December, still didn't happen. And now, it's almost Christmas and you're starting to think, maybe Valentine's Day treats instead.
I like to look on the bright side: A little desperation feeds creativity (yup, bad pun intended).
Looking around the kitchen for ideas, first I considered what we had on hand–oodles of candy canes. My thought? Crush 'em and use 'em. Of course, my kids were all in favor of taking a mallet to the candy canes.
Here are three easy holiday treats to make in a hurry.
Fast: Candy cane brownie truffles
How to: Make your own or use store-bought brownies. Take a spoon to dole out 1-inch sized pieces. Mold the pieces into balls in your hands. Melt white candy coating or semi-sweet chocolate chips. Roll the brownie balls in the melted chocolate and then in crushed candy cane pieces. Place on a sheet of waxed paper to set. (These are a little easier if you refrigerate or freeze the brownie balls before dipping, but you don't have to.)
Faster: Candy cane cookies
How to: I used Nilla wafers, but you could use pretty much any cookie. Oreos are a good match too. Follow the same procedure as above, dipping the cookie half way into the chocolate and then into the candy cane pieces.
Fastest: Chocolate-dipped candy canes
How to: Melt white candy coating or semi-sweet chocolate chips (you have that part down, right?). Dip one end of the candy cane into the chocolate and then into Christmas sprinkles. Place the candy canes on waxed paper to set.
This is just one of many yummy recipes you can find at Delectable Christmas Candies & Treats. I've been looking through the site as part of the Motherboard team. Once a week, I'll be posting about the exciting things not to miss on the their site, and their affiliates. Click through for plenty of last-minute recipes, including this one for Date-Orange bars.

Achatz Handmade Pie Co. Apple Pie Recipe
Dec 18th
Pie dough
2-½ cup pastry flour
1-teaspoon sugar
1-teaspoon sea salt
½ cup all natural palm fruit oil
½ cup cold butter
Mix oil and butter into flour mixture with fingers until crumbly.
½ cup chilled water.
Do not over mix at this point. Dough will be sticky. Cover with plastic wrap or wax paper and allow to rest in refrigerator for 1 hour.
Divide dough in half. Roll out onto a lightly floured surface into an 11" circle to fit pie pan.
7 cups thinly sliced Northern Spy apples
½ c. sugar
¼ c. brown sugar
¼ c. flour
½-1 t. cinnamon
3 T. butter
Toss until apples are well coated; pour into bottom crust and dot with butter.
Roll out top dough disk, cover pie and crimp edges. Flute top crust for steam to escape while baking.
Brush top crust with water or egg and sprinkle with 2 T. sugar.
Bake at 375 degrees for 1-¼ hours or until golden brown and apple are tender.
If apples are not tender yet crust is becoming too dark, lower over temperature to 350 and continue to bake until apples are tender. Insert a fork into the middle of pie to test the tenderness of apple slices.
*Note that Wendy Achatz suggests using Northern Spy apples. I couldn't find any at the grocery store so you might need to substitute another variety.
Special thanks for Wendy Achatz for sharing her recipe with MKES!
Coconut Snowman Cookies–in 3D!
Dec 14th
Sure, you could make flat, sugar cookie snowmen, but why not enlist your kids in sculpting some three-dimensional ones? That's what I did with this coconut snowball recipe. I let my kids roll the dough into 3 sizes of balls figuring we'd make a whole family of snow people.
Once the cookies had cooled slightly, we added a quick powdered sugar glaze and then more coconut. After the glaze had set, we added mini-chocolate chips for eyes and cut up fruit leathers for the "carrot" noses and scarves. Melted white chocolate made for perfect snowman glue.
I would love to claim this idea as my own, but really my kids insisted on doing something fun with the recipe. Seeing as in the last week we've had nonstop snow and 2–yes 2!–school snow days, I guess I'm not surprised. Plus the temperature is still so chilly that we can't play outside. No wonder then that my kids were driven to make snowmen inside!
I wanted to try a few different ways to frost the snowmen–my older kids were patient enough to use the original recipe technique above, but younger kids might not be.
So here are 3 frosting techniques I used, along with some notes.
Frosting #1 Powdered Sugar
Good: Simple. You just roll the cookie balls in powdered sugar while they're still warm.
Bad: This makes sticking on the mini-chocolate chip eyes much tougher.
Frosting #2 Powdered sugar glaze
Good: Add 2-4 teaspoons of milk to a cup of powdered sugar and stir. Place the cookie balls onto a wire tray with a cookie pan underneath. Pour the glaze over each ball. This is the LEAST messy technique.
Bad: The white chocolate glue is the most visible with this glaze. (Kids don't seem to mind though.)
Frosting #3 Glaze + ground coconut
Good: After you've glazed the snowman balls–and before the frosting sets–roll each one in coconut that has been pulsed in a food processor so that it's nearly ground. This frosting turned out the prettiest snowmen and it masked any little errors (like too much white chocolate glue).
Bad: Messy. This is the recipe recommended version and these snowmen were the best of the batch. But you need to have patience to put these together.
*A batch of cookies will make for 5, 3-layered snowmen and 1 snow snake;)
This is just one of many cookie recipes you can find at Our Most Gorgeous Holiday Cookies Ever. I've been looking through the site as part of the Motherboard team. Once a week, I'll be posting about the exciting things not to miss on the their site, and their affiliates. (If I have time this week, I really want to make the chocolate pinwheel cookie recipe. We'll see:)
Are you making cookies for the holidays? What are some of your favorites?
Why aren't you drinking…Mexican cocoa?
Dec 11th
Each time I open my spice cabinet Abuelita stares back at me. It's sorta unnerving. With her wiry glasses perched too far down her nose and one raised, wrinkled eyebrow, her expression is a mix of grandma goodness and mischief.
Abuelita is Mexican hot chocolate. These are no powdery cocoa packets, but six disks of cinnamon-infused chocolate disks with a hint of spice. To use them you heat 4 cups of milk with the disk until it begins to boil.
You can give any hot cocoa a bit of a Mexican twist by adding a bit of ground cinnamon (or stir it with a cinnamon stick). And if you're more adventurous, go ahead sprinkle just a tad of cayenne pepper. Either way, whether you try Abuelita or just tweak your own hot cocoa, the mix of chocolate and cinnamon fits perfectly with a a few holiday goodies.
Have you tried Mexican hot cocoa? Did you like it? What other tweaks do you give your hot cocoa?
Squid eaters in the snow
Dec 9th
Snow outside=baking inside. I've had plenty of excuses to cook over the last few days–it's been snowing nonstop. I'll have recipes to share later, but for now I wanted to give you a peek at my recipe testers.
Quick Crustless Quiche
Dec 4th
Quiche is pretty much a glorified omelet. But you can only have omelets for dinner so many times before it gets dull.
I like the standard quiche, but there's something about the crust that just makes me think dessert instead of dinner. It could be that I once tried to save myself some time by buying the crust instead of making it from scratch and I inadvertently bought a dessert dough (not the savory, sugarless variety). Hey, I like to try new flavor combos, but ew. Just ew.
My solution? Go crustless.
Without the crust, quiche becomes a lot more versatile. And leftovers are literally soaked up with an egg custard and a generous helping of cheese. Pair yesterday's ham and roasted potatoes with sharp cheddar cheese for a quick comfort food dish. Or spruce up spinach and bacon with some Swiss cheese.
Are you seeing where I'm going with this–easy dinner during the holiday rush that also cleans out the fridge? Ah, now you're starting to brainstorm how to use what you've got and refashion it in a pie tin.
I've included a recipe with specific directions, but I like to think of this as a guideline, so let me explain crustless quiche construction. First, you need to grease your pan, easy enough. And don't feel like you have to stay with the pie shape—an 8×8" square pan works well too (this recipe doubles well too). Then it's all about what your family likes—add ham, sausage, bacon, or veggies to the bottom of your pan. Once that's in the pan you pour the egg mixture on top to seal the ingredients together, of course the cheese in the eggs helps with keeping things together. I also like to add a little extra cheese and herbs (fresh or dried) on top of the quiche, just to spruce up the appearance.
The quiche doesn't cook quickly, but while it bakes you can do a little online shopping or wrap a present or two. I usually serve a hearty slice of crustless quiche with a salad and a muffin.
Servings: 4-6
Prep time: 20-30 minutes
4 eggs
1/2 c. flour
1 1/2 cups milk
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
pepper to taste
¾ cup-1 cup shredded cheese
1 cup chopped ham, cooked sausage, bacon or cooked veggies like broccoli, mushrooms
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk the eggs, milk and flour using a hand mixer. Add the spices and ½ cup of shredded cheese (I like to use a combination of Parmesan and sharp cheddar).
- Grease a 9" pie pan or small casserole dish.
- Place your cooked meat and/or veggies on the bottom of the baking dish. Pour the egg mixture over the top.
- Add the remaining cheese.
- Bake for 35-45 minutes or until cooked through and browned slightly on the top.
- Cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

It is so moving to know that there are still people out there that actually do care and are willing to lend an ear to listen and knowledge of where to go next, to get help , to those who are suffering...we all know that soon enough, we are going to die..When are time is up...To give someone hope is an amazing thing....sharing each ones story, is what I call , a wake up call, to those, who are needing, to really be loved....
Dying to Live or Living to Die
By Randy Gage in Critical Thinking, Success, Prosperity.
It's the holiday season and many people face depression this time of year. So I'm asking you all to please share this around again with those you love. Thanks – RG
I was cruising up I-95 in the Aston with the top down; Jonny Lang wailing through the speakers.
Why am I fighting to live;
If I'm just living to fight?
Why am I trying to see;
When there ain't nothing in sight?
Why am I trying to give;
When no one gives me a try?
Why am I dying to live;
If I'm just living to die?
It's one of his most haunting and poetic songs and one of my all-time favorites. But on this day, it made me very melancholy. Last weekend, my friend Carol killed her father, and then took her own life. He had been ill for a long time and had wanted to die. But that didn't make it any less heart wrenching or shocking.
Obviously Carol was in great pain herself, and didn't want to continue. She had a back injury and other health challenges recently and couldn't help her sister Gail much to care for their father. I didn't walk in her shoes, so can't judge her or know what finally drove her to this extreme. But I do know that this is a sad and tragic end to a life that once shone brightly. And that wounds my heart and saddens my soul. I will miss my friend and always wonder what might have been.
Sometimes I wish for the arrogance of the fundamentalists, with their smug certainty of their guaranteed salvation. But alas, I can only hope that Carol and her father are in a better place, a kinder space.
I do know that death has saved them from more pain. But while that gives those of us left behind some degree of solace, there is still that gnawing hunger of what might have been.
I never met my father, so Father's Day was reserved for my Grandfather on my Mother's side. But he's been gone for some years now. So every June I walk by the Hallmark display, but I have no one to buy a card for.
My grandmother is gone now too, so I have just one card to send for Mother's Day in May. And I fear the day will come when I won't have that either. And as much as I fear that, I fear the opposite even worse. Because no mother should ever have to bury her child.
The other day, my entire extended family met at Disney World. There were so many of us we had to take five cars. As is often the case in Florida, a summer shower came and drenched us. So we all ran to the cars, to go back to the hotel.
Then I noticed that Grandma wasn't in any of the cars. So I sent everyone back and I waited alone for her. Finally I saw her standing alone, under a cloud. She had a rain poncho on and wanted to stay. So I agreed to walk in the rain through Disney World, just her and I.
But then I woke up, and it was a cold winter day, and the raindrops were really teardrops. What I wouldn't give for the chance to walk in the rain with her one more time.
Today I am sad. But if you ask me most days, I'll tell you I'm the happiest person I know. I love life, and I love my life. Each and every day I celebrate the blessings I have.
But it wasn't always that way…
I have a journal from more than 15 years ago. No one else on the planet has ever seen it, or ever will. But it's a suicide note.
Written in the depth of despair, when life simply seemed too arduous, too difficult, and too painful to endure any longer.
Had I acted upon that impulse then, I would have missed falling in love in Paris, flying the Concorde, and winning a World Series. I would have been cheated of some spectacular sunsets in Key West, winning the Viper shootout, and long nights talking with good friends until 4 am. I would have never heard Dmitry Hvorostovsky, rode an elephant, or seen my nieces and nephews grow into young adults.
I would have missed many of the things that make a life worth living…
I can't tell any of this to my friend Carol anymore, so I'm telling you. If you are in pain, face seemingly insurmountable challenges, or wonder if things will ever change for you, all I can say is, please hang on, at least for another day.
You have gifts that no one else in the world can offer. You have skills you don't even know you possess, love you haven't experienced yet, and hope that has your name upon it.
There are songs you have yet to sing, dances you are meant to dance, and stories that only you will be able to tell.
If you're facing financial challenges, I promise you they can be solved. Knowing what I now know about prosperity, I am shocked at how easy wealth can be manifested when your mind is right. If this is an issue for you, please go to http://www.randygage.com/ebook.html and download an electronic copy of my book, "Accept Your Abundance" at no charge.
If you're facing medical challenges or pain, know that science is advancing every day at an exponential rate. There are bionic limbs, breakthroughs in stem cell research, and diseases being cured all the time.
If you suffer from severe depression, find a medical professional to help you. It may even be something as simple as a chemical imbalance that can be corrected with acupuncture, a change in diet, or medication.
A trained counselor can help you through unresolved issues of abuse, abandonment, or trauma. If money is an issue, there are mental health programs offered from the government, or seek help from a spiritual advisor.
If your heart is broken, it means you have the capacity to love and are loving! There is someone special out there, waiting to meet you.
As I look back on my life now – I wouldn't change one single thing. I have loved and lost, failed in more businesses than I can count, faced almost certain death, fought drug and alcohol dependencies, and stared down many personal demons. And all of these things made me stronger, gave me wisdom, and allowed me to love. These challenges molded me, as yours are molding you.
There are joyous, wonderful experiences awaiting you, but you have to be here to receive them. Yes, it is darkest before dawn, but the dawn will always break through.
Please. If you're still reading this far, you're not ready to go yet. Many of us will miss Carol. And we don't want to miss you.
So I'll keep fighting to live;
Till there's no reason to fight.
And I'll keep trying to see;
Until the end is in sight.
You know I'm trying to give;
So come on give me a try.
You know I'm dying to live;
Until I'm ready to die.
And now, for the rest of you…
Most of you reading this are not contemplating suicide. But what are you doing with the gift of life you have now? When are you going to stop phoning it in, and start living your life out loud, in color and BIG?
Call someone today and tell them you love them. Pay the toll for the car behind you. Tip the waitress stupid money. Stay up all night. Send someone flowers. Send yourself flowers. Notice the stars.
Start that book, screenplay or opera you've been talking about for years. Go to a scary movie and stop starring in one. Take a chance. Take a risk.
Make love with the lights on. Make wild bed-breaking sex with the lights off. Unplug the TV for a month. Next time you go out to eat, order a peanut butter and jelly sandwich with a large chocolate milk.
Please. Live life. Live YOUR life.
And make it a life worth living.
Here's the song:

Question on 49 chevy truck frame
Am wondering what is the difference in the frame on the 47-54 chevy truck 1/2 and 3/4 ton frames?
Am thinking of installing a Mustang II IFS system in my 49 3/4 ton truck and some the catalogs list it as 1/2 ton with no mention of 3/4. This there some difference in the rail spacing as to why I cant install a IFS system in a 3/4? I would like to keep the long bed look, so if push comes to shove I would need to find a 1/2 ton frame and extended it. Thanks...Eric

sevt_chevelle - Here is a link to the specs of different AD chevy trucks:

Homebrew, thanks for the link,
I was pretty sure that the cab forward was the same. I was thinking of using Chassis Engineering bolt in IFS system but they list it as 1/2 ton only. I guess I need to email CE and ask them whats up. |
49 Chev Truck Frame 3/4 ton
Good link to the specification section for the 49's. I've installed a Fatman MII front end on my 3/4 ton without any problems. The difference in the frames seems to start just about at the back of the cab to the rear. Basically the frame rails are parallel on the 3/4 ton and on the 1/2 ton the widen out from the cab back. In the beginning I thought they were the same so I now have a set of frame boxing plates that fit a AD 1/2 ton. Also when looking for a rear end setup I talked to Chassis Eng and finally got out of them that the rear suspension kit they make would n ot work.
LD Just placed the SBC and tranny in the frame yesterday!! Body to soda blast next week! |

Today's Runes for Rene Magritte
spread is used at critical turning points, to understand the dynamics of an important decision.
Gold Runes
are most commonly used for questions about business, career, and property.
The left rune represents
the first possible outcome
is the rune of cattle, the symbol of wealth in the old Norse civilization. Since Fehu is the first rune in Frey's aett, it is a rune of fertility as well. As seen here reversed, it can represent barrenness or the loss of wealth. Some interpret Fehu as representing children, in which case the reversal may portend the distancing of a child from her or his parents.
The right rune represents
the second possible outcome
means daylight, and represents divine light. This rune generally refers to dawn (the initial sparking of energy) or to midday (the climax of energy). Both dawn and midday are symbolic of change, but unlike the changes in the perpetual circle of the year which are slow and subtle, the changes over a day are much faster and more dramatic. The breaking of a new day is symbolic of the rapid illumination of dismal circumstances, and is suggestive of Satori. Be careful - although this rune generally suggests a positive change, the symbology of a peaking point suggests that there must be a change downward as well. Fortunately for some, this rune is cyclic and irreversible, and so permanence is not promised - the only thing you can be sure of is an exciting ride.
The bottom rune represents
the critical factor
that determines what will come to pass.
means gift, and like any gifts, the rune may be understood on many levels. Gifts are generally positive things, for both the giver and the recipient. In many cultures however, gifts and favors carry with them an obligation to respond in kind. It is for this reason that gifts, and hence the rune Gebo, are frequently symbolic of friendships, marriages, alliances, mergers, and other bonds between people or organizations. Gebo is a strong rune and the unions represented are strong as well. Moreover, Gebo is not reversible, as true friendships are not easily undone.

Not an American user?
The world has been enslaved by Murk, and you've got to free it by collecting the seven fragments of a tablet which are in the possession of seven wizards who inhabit seven towers.Blade Warrior is a unique game in two ways, the most obvious being the graphics. Everything in this game is seen in silhouette - as you wander around looking for magical items and killing baddies, all you see is your silhouette and the silhouette of everything around you. The background is made up of a night sky, with clouds and hills.
Secondly, the game is an unusual mix of adventuring and battling. On your way to collecting magical items and exploring the huge ingame map, you're assaulted by baddies. Then, once you have collected certain artifacts, you can conjure up spells (so long as you have the recipe) back in your tower, trade with wizards for those all important tablet pieces and get clues to the next important artifacts.

It was a sight to melt the flintiest of hearts. The handsome young man in his braided military uniform walking down the aisle, arm in arm with a woman of grace and beauty wearing a shimmeringly beautiful white dress.
Yes, Harry and Pippa made a fabulous couple. It was little wonder that, no sooner had the principals left the Abbey on Friday, that a large part of the nation, or at least those with a Twitter account, were talking of only one thing — the possibility of a future Duke and Duchess of Boujis in the Duchy of Mahiki.
Before he took Kate Middleton to be his lawful wedded wife, Prince William often expressed the hope that they might be left alone to live a quiet life in Anglesey. (Is there, I wonder, any other life to live in Anglesey?) Given how quickly the media carousel turns these days, he might just get his wish.
William and Kate? Old news. In certain circumstances, the bride might get rather irritated if too much attention is lavished on the Maid of Honour. But Kate seems a sensible pragmatic type and will surely see the advantage in the photographers turning some of their telephoto lenses on little sister Pippa, who not only looked as pretty as a picture at the wedding but, to an eye untrained on the protocol of trains, appeared to be pretty good at her job, too.
A Middleton family friend declared after the wedding party that Pippa was now the "most eligible woman in Britain". And it is certainly true that, for some time, she is going to be someone who will be living a very public life, even though she didn't choose to. Every boyfriend, every night out, even those occasions when she's just filling up her car with petrol, will be catalogued and photographed for the nation. It may take some of the heat off Kate, but it will be an often uncomfortable place for her to be.
For a woman whose bottom already has its own Facebook page, she'll need every bit of the poise she revealed on Friday. Incidentally, I heard that Kate and William's only disappointment was that they hadn't waited a week so that they could have been on the cover of the very first Saturday edition of i! Only five days to go!

This always makes me Laugh
This was a long time ago when I was driving home from doing a boutique and Brooklyn snuck a chocolate dipped pretzel out of my bag. She was going to town of that thing.

Me and Mack
A little about us
I am 29 years old and I have been married to my good husband Mack for 5 years. We have a beautiful daughter Brooklyn, who just turned two. I am lucky enough to stay at home with her and we love to spend as much time together as a family as possible. It may seem strange but my husband and I love the Sci-Fi channel. We love watching a whole series at a time or following one on tv.
My Party Girl
Brooklyn is always looking for fun. She is just like her mom.

The justalilhype! visited the Local604 Pop Up Shop and checked out the new collection of the "Local604 Does It Better" t-shirts and sweaters. The re-release of this design not only featured a total of 8 colours, but it's design was also updated. The font was revamped to become larger this time and vibrant colours such as red and blue was used. We caught up with Jon, the founder of Local604 and he got a chance to talk to us about his upcoming cut and sew colllection. The Mothas Magik Apparel crew was there as well and they also showed us their latest drop. Be sure to keep your heads up for more Local604 Pop Up Shops to come in various parts of the city.

Nancy D. Campbell
Nancy D. Campbell
- Ph.D., History of Consciousness Program, University of California Santa Cruz
- MA, English, University of Washington
- BA, English, Bucknell University
Professor Nancy Campbell is a Professor in the Department of Science and Technology Studies in the School of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences.
Her research focuses on technology as related to healthcare, with recent work on the social significance of legal and illegal drugs to those who govern and use them, produce scientific knowledge about them, and seek to treat drug problems.
"How have ideas about drugs and drug addiction changed over time? What do we know about drug addiction, and how do we know it? Why do we have the drug policies that we do?" said Campbell. "We consider some drugs to cause social problems, and others to solve them. Often we are talking about the same molecules—the differences lie in who uses them and how they do so. My research centers on scientific communities who make knowledge about drugs, and interactions between scientists, treatment providers, policymakers, and patient advocates."
Campbell is currently working on the history of overdose prevention; the ethics of LSD research in the US Public Health Service; and the fruitful convergence between neuroscience and addiction research.
Her most recently published book, co-authored with Elizabeth Ettorre, is titled Gendering Addiction: The Politics of Drug Treatment in a Neurochemical World. This book took up the theme of gender introduced in Campbell's first book, Using Women: Gender, Drug Policy, and Social Justice (Routledge, 2000), which was about how drug-using women figured in drug policy discourse from the 1910s to the 1990s.
Campbell and co-authors JP Olsen and Luke Walden published a visual history of the federal drug treatment hospital in Lexington, Kentucky, titled The Narcotic Farm: The Rise and Fall of America's First Prison for Drug Addicts (Harry N. Abrams, Inc., 2008). Campbell also appeared in Olsen and Walden's 2007 documentary, The Narcotic Farm, and she often speaks on radio shows about the relevance of this project to current drug treatment.
Campbell's scholarly book on the history of the formative science conducted by the laboratory at The Narcotic Farm, which was called the Addiction Research Center and is now the intramural research program of the National Institute on Drug Abuse, is titled Discovering Addiction: The Science and Politics of Substance Abuse Research (University of Michigan Press, 2007).
With Joseph Spillane she created the Oral History of Substance Abuse Research Project, funded by the National Science Foundation, the College on Problems of Drug Dependence, and the University of Michigan Substance Abuse Research Center, which can be found at http://sitemaker.umich.edu/substance.abuse.history/home. In 2009 she received the Media Award from the College on Problems of Drug Dependence for this work on the history of substance abuse research.

Back to the 400 cupcakes, actually, they turned out more like muffins than cupcakes, for the simple reason I used muffin cases instead of cupcakes, BECAUSE, cupcakes casing require moulds, and if I were to rely on my 2 muffin pans, I'll be baking for 10 hours.
As it is, this was how we proceeded:
6.20pm - Client collected 2 lime tarts which were baked earlier.
6.31pm - Start of the maiden batch. Daughter lines trays with muffin cases, I measure, sift, mix batter, wife & daughter pour batter into muffin cup. First round experiment, too much batter, cupcakes overflowed, stuck together, one big nebulous mess. Salvaged the overgrown ones into cupcake cases.
7.30pm - Break for dinner....cupcake tally thus far, about 66...
9pm - Legs giving way, but I think we probably reached the halfway mark. Sms the Vacation Bible School (VBS) director to ask if he minded if we didnt ice it, as baking alone was a mammoth task. He suggests they ice it themselves. What a brilliant idea.
9.30pm - Check email, send out emails for parents.
10.30 pm - The end is in sight, but made too much batter. Had to use up remaining batter in normal cupcake form, as the 400 muffin cases gone liao. Start mixing the blue mint icing, after maid sifted icing sugar. Turned out quite nice. If they run out they can substitute with toothpaste.
10.45 pm - Last of the muffin casing cakes come out, allowing me to chuck in my lemon meringue pie, which was a commercial order.
11.15pm - My work is done, left wife to tend the remaining few cupcakes. Shower, feel human again.
Total raw material consumption:
5½ kg flour
2 kg cocoa powder
7 kg sugar
2.5 litres oil
5 litres milk
5 litres water
60 plus eggs
2 bottles vanilla
250 gms baking soda
125gms baking powder
Forgot to blog about my Thai cooking class, which I sneaked out of office on Monday afternoon to attend, just down the road, with renowned local chef, Azrah Khan. RM250 for 10 dishes, 2 classes of two hours each.
Pros are pros la (professionals, not prostitutes), and in that 2 hours she managed to effortlessly, without apron, and without a stain on her, to whip up, 50 over kueh tacos, (premade pandan casings, though we did learn how to make em. ), Otak otak, Green Curry Chicken, Steamed Fish A La Thai style, and Tom Yam.
Did you know Tom Jones went to Thailand and became a Buddhist, and even changed his name? It's now....
Ah, yes, the above is my first attempt at baked orange cheese cake, which my mother requested last Monday. Since she raved so much about it, (dunno if it's the blood is thicker than water bias), I've made another one for tonight's family dinner. I didn't get to try it the first time, and it was a bit overcooked, coz I was juggling a family photo shoot (imagine popping in and out of kitchen, checking the oven, in a full lounge suit), and the baking time. It cracked a bit on the surface, hence had to do the make up thing and use some kumquats to hide the cracks.Will let you know what IIII think of the baked cheesecake. (Actually these days I no longer into cheese cakes. Used to love them when I was younger. Bonton was THE benchmark those days. Their sicilian cheesecake was to die for, and my favourite baked cheesecake is from Park Royal Hotel, the strawberry baked cheesecake. Divine).

palette creation
I never - up to now - needed to create a custom palette, but now I urgently need to do it, to quickly write a long document containing often-repeated pieces/symbols/formulas. I tried on the net and found at http://documents.wolfram.com/mathematica/book/section-1.10.12 a sequence of steps that - though aimed at V5.2 - seemed easy and direct. Yet they're clearly unsupported in V7, since I obtain a palette, true, but not working. >From the Help Center it seems to me that I'll have to use CreatePalette, and use PasteButton[] at each button: I'm surprised that the old method which was so direct and wysiwyg has been unsupported. Or am I wrong? alessandro

Energy efficient windows and doors need to be well constructed, sealed tightly, and professionally installed to work best. They will provide a consistent indoor temperature in you home and help you save money on utility bills. There are many more windows than doors in the average home, so choose them carefully. If replacement windows are not in your budget right now, there are a few improvements you can make to your existing windows immediately. You can add weatherstripping or caulking to reduce air leakage. Storm windows add efficiency, so if you do not have them already, get some. Insulated curtains or heavy drapes will prevent heat loss in the winter months.
If your windows are eight to ten years old, it will be cost-effective to invest in toronto replacement windows. The money you save on heating and cooling costs will offset the cost of the windows, so consider it if at all possible. When seeking the most energy efficient windows toronto, you want to look at the type of glass and type of window that would best suit your home. Double or triple pane glass will reduce outside noise and be more efficient than single pane glass. Low E-glass coatings will reduce heat transference by reflecting both infrared and ultraviolet light. Coatings also prevent the fading of furniture, window treatments, and drapes. gas-filled window panes offer more insulation the air-filled panes.
There are several types of windows from which you can choose. As long as they are thick enough and sealed properly, any one of these windows can be highly energy efficient. A casement window is vertical and opens outward. An awning window is horizontal and opens outward. It is similar to a hopper window that is also horizontal, but opens inward. Single or double hung windows are traditional, and open by either raising the lower part or lowering the upper part. Slider windows have panes that slide open. Fixed and picture windows do not open at all. Bay and bow windows consist of a combination of windows that extend a room outward and maximize your view. These are most commonly found in living rooms or dens. Skylights and roof windows let in the natural light.
Windows are improving all the time, and energy efficiency gets better as technology emerges regarding panes, seals, and frame materials. Check out window installers toronto for innovative, energy efficient windows that are patented, and affordable. Shop around for the best windows that will suit your needs, and lower your heating and cooling costs.

I stay away from medication if I don't think it's necessary, I do not eat meat and I'm not bringing my kids up in any particular religion - though I do encourage them to explore the many spiritual traditions the world has to offer. My kids are coming up strong, sure of themselves, out-spoken and understanding. I'm very proud of them!

Why? In our bailout-ridden times, a private jet has become as stigmatic as those knockoff L.A. Lights you had on the playground. Seasoned in their coverage of the many laments of being rich, the NYTimes talked to many current and former jet owners about what's happening. It's pretty much a given now that if you're taking bailout cash (and these days, who isn't?), the jets have to go. Making now totally the time to buy! "A year ago, there would be 30 people looking for one airplane," said Jay Mesinger, a corporate jet broker, who said that prices had fallen 30 to 40 percent since late 2007. "Today there are 30 airplanes looking for one buyer."Aside from the U.S. becoming one giant used jet lot for the young emirs and oligarchs of the world, something tells me that the hip-hop community will raise up and do its part to keep the Gulfstreams of the world in solvency.

Hi! ^.^ I'm making a retractable Crescent Rose from RWBY and I wanted to know the best material to use for the main body and sniper? I've seen tutorials online but although I know it's possible, none are done using a retractable system which requires quite a durable yet thin material.
Would Kappa board or some other type of display boards be ok to use? I can get those rather cheap in my town but I'm not that used to making props ^.^'
This is the prop I'm making:

For the other parts, you can get the detail you need using card, foam and plastics. They also have the advantage of being light weight so you can carry and pose with the object |

XEllet senior Ben Cockerham earned the medalist honor Tuesday in the City Series Golf Championship at Mud Run Golf Course and Firestone won its fourth team title in a row.
Cockerham and Firestone sophomore Brian Schultz each shot 2-over-par-70s, but Cockerham triumphed after making a birdie on the first hole, No. 1, in a sudden-death playoff.
Ellet coach Lonnie Kammer said Cockerham's final putt came from 13-feet away.
Firestone won with a team score of 314 and Ellet shot 330. Falcons coach Dave Milo said Schultz (70), junior Jonathon Giaquinto (79), sophomore Sam DiMeo (79) and sophomore Alex Erisey (86) scored for the Falcons.
Ellet junior Joel Beswetherick placed fifth with an 81.

Post by Stefan Van Eycken, Tokyo
Notice: the SMWS releases introduced in this post (i.e. the forthcoming Japanese releases) are only available for purchase by SMWS members from the chapter of the Society in the country where they are registered. Not all chapters will carry (all of) these releases, but there is no way around that. It's the same for all other SMWS releases: not all of them are available to all chapters of the Society. People (including SMWS members not residing in Japan) have enquired with us and with the Society's Japan chapter about alternative ways to buy these releases. We want to be very clear: there are none. The SMWS rules are very specific and strictly observed by all chapters around the world, so it is pointless to contact the Japanese branch or other branches in view of purchasing from them. It is just not possible. The time and conditions under which these bottles will be offered by different branches of the Society may vary, but one thing is set in stone: bottles, where available, can only be purchased by members from the chapter in their country.
It sure is difficult to keep a secret in the whisky world these days, especially when it's about iconic closed distilleries. Rumours about Japanese additions to the list of SMWS distilleries had been circulating for a while but today, we're thrilled to finally be able to announce full details of the distilleries and bottlings involved.
Following on from Penderyn (128) and Kilchoman (129), the Scotch Malt Whisky Society has assigned code number 130 to Chichibu, 131 to Hanyu and 132 to Karuizawa distillery. Nine casks have been bottled and details are as follows:
130.1 [Chichibu] 4yo, 227 bottles
"Dynamic and attractive" [2009/2013] 1st fill barrel (ex-bourbon)
131.1 [Hanyu] 22yo, 212 bottles
"The sinful side of sexy" [1991/2013] 1st fill barrel (ex-bourbon)
131.2 [Hanyu] 13yo, 646 bottles
"Magic carpet in a sweetie shop" [2000/2013] 1st fill butt (ex-sherry)
132.1 [Karuizawa] 28yo, 229 bottles
"Secret moonlit garden dram" [1984/2013] refill butt (ex-sherry)
132.2 [Karuizawa] 22yo, 335 bottles
"Stunning panorama of exotic fruits" [1991/2013] refill butt (ex-sherry)
132.3 [Karuizawa] 20yo, 344 bottles
"Dark, mysterious and seductive" [1993/2013] refill butt (ex-sherry)
132.4 [Karuizawa] 17yo, 346 bottles
"Rich, brooding and suggestive" [1996/2013] refill butt (ex-sherry)
132.5 [Karuizawa] 14yo, 495 bottles
"Sweet and darkly beguiling" [1999/2013] refill butt (ex-sherry)
132.6 [Karuizawa] 12yo, 553 bottles
With 30,000 members worldwide, it's clear that not all of these will be available to all chapters of the Society worldwide. Only the home front (Japan) will be able to offer every single cask to its members, but even here, numbers will be quite limited.
Hanyu and Karuizawa stocks are running low and it is unsure, at this point in time, whether more casks will follow the ones listed above. For Chichibu, the prospects of follow-up releases are much better, of course. Exciting times ahead if you're a member of the SMWS. And if you're not, well… quite frankly, if this isn't reason enough to join, I don't know what is.

If you're lucky you could find some average values maybe in a physiology textbook, but you could also try to estimate: At rest, the average oxygen uptake is 250 ml per min and during hard work for an untrained person about 2000-3000 ml, if I remember correctly. (Trained athletes can increase more than that.)

Em Cafe
Em Cafe where art and food meet
The 411
Situated on Parc Street just south of Bernard, Em Cafe is a place you would likely miss. Yet, when you step in you will see how it is more than an unassuming place and that it manages to serve up a laid back atmosphere where one can sit down and have the hours melt away.
At 1st glance
Once you step in you will notice some interesting art on the wall from a featured artist (my understanding is that it changes with time.) There is a nice long table in the middle as well as a little lounge area in the back. Next to it you, you will find a tall wooden bookshelf with newspapers and some books which can help you ease into that Sunday morning even more.
The menu is very simple and is also available on the web site. All but two plates on it are under $10 and you get free refills on the coffee as well. There's 3 kinds of Eggs Benedict ranging from $7.95 to $8.95; 5 omelletes ($6.95-$8.95); (3 fruit platters $9.95-$11.95) 3 choices of either waffles, crepes or pancakes ($5.96-$6.95); there is french toast at $5.95 and it comes as either white or brown bread.
The french toast ($5.95) came loaded with fruit and the bread was a natural brown multigrain. You can taste a unique flavour in the bread they chose and this was quite enjoyable. The mushroom omellette ($7.95) was loaded with mushrooms and gave the option of white cheddar or swiss. We opted for white cheddar which had a nice pronounced flavour although they only put the slice at the bottom and did not infuse it.
My friend had the poached eggs ($8.95) which came with a side of cottage cheese, fruit, nuts and 8 grain toast. It was very healthy and you can sub the cottage cheese with yogourt. The fruit was tasty and he was was happy with his order. I was glad to see that they did have some healthy options. One issue I had with the food was that the coffee was less than awesome and tasted a touch burnt. I drank more than 1 cup to see if it was a bad batch but no luck.
The service was good. They came to check on us often although the coffee refills were not as frequent as I would have liked.
If you are vegetarian there are many plates which do have not meat so you do get some choice here. Also, if you are vegan, there are 3 fruit options and although i did not have the fruit plates, if they were as fresh as the fruit cup then you are in good hands.
Wrap up
Overall, it was quite enjoyable and relaxed. The food did not stand out and the coffee was nothing to write home about, although they did some nice things with the fruit being fresh and varied and the really tasty multigrain bread. Points need to be given for the price having been under $10 as well as the laid back ambiance – in particular the art and lounge section and mini library. This is a definite "come-to-chill area" where you can come, sit down eat and not be rushed out the door for other hungry brunch go-ers.

Herpes Home > Herpes Zoster Cure
While there is no herpes zoster "cure," there are drugs available that can reduce the severity and duration of a herpes zoster attack. For example, antiviral medications such as acyclovir, valacyclovir, and famciclovir are often used for treating herpes zoster. There is also a vaccine that can help prevent herpes zoster in the future.
Is There a Cure for Herpes Zoster?
Herpes zoster (also known as shingles) is an infection caused by the varicella-zoster virus (VZV). This is the same virus that causes chickenpox. As with chickenpox, there is no cure for herpes zoster. There are, however, certain medicines (known as antivirals) that can shorten the length and severity of this condition. There is also a vaccine that can prevent herpes zoster in the future.The Role of Antivirals as a "Herpes Zoster Cure"
Antiviral medicines are used for the treatment of herpes zoster. When given within 72 hours of the first symptoms of herpes zoster, the severity and duration of a herpes zoster attack can be reduced. Some examples of antiviral medicines used for herpes zoster treatment include:- Acyclovir (Zovirax®)
- Valacyclovir (Valtrex®)
- Famciclovir (Famvir®).
These herpes zoster medications have been shown to shorten the length of new lesion formation. They have also been shown to shorten the time it takes for full crusting, complete healing, and complete relief of pain. For example, in one study looking at valacyclovir, people who were treated with valacyclovir had their blisters stop forming one day sooner than those who did not take valacyclovir (two days versus three days). In a study with famciclovir, the average time to full crusting was five days compared to seven days in those people who did not take famciclovir.
Despite their effectiveness, these medicines are not a herpes zoster "cure." This is because it is possible for a person who has had herpes zoster to get it again, even if he or she was treated with antiviral drugs.

When anti-Semitism is aimed at kids—by other kids—how can parents respond?
Times are changing. Are our sleepaway camps changing with them?
In the '80s, Muhammad Ali gave me the strength to stand up to my bullies
Emily Bazelon's new book argues that bullying comes in different forms and so should its antidotes

Karen Klein and the lessons of the schoolyard
Even as the Harvey Weinstein-produced film Bully falls flat, Jewish schools are trying new programs that do more than simply raise awareness
Comment of the Week
Instead of preaching kindness, we should realize, as the Bible did long ago, that we're all bullies—and that the best advice is to give in to that reality

Andrew Bynum scored 29 points in his first game of the NBA season after serving a four-game suspension as the Los Angeles Lakers came from a five-point fourth-quarter deficit to beat the Denver Nuggets 92-89 on Saturday.
Bynum's layup sent the Lakers ahead 91-89 with 1:52 to play as they powered past Denver's five-point fourth-quarter lead.
He had been suspended for the first four games of the shortened NBA season because of a flagrant foul against Dallas in the Western Conference playoffs last season.
Bynum had been originally suspended for five games but that was reduced because of the shortened schedule.
The big man also had 13 rebounds and two blocked shots as new coach Mike Brown's coaching style suited his play.
"They're looking for me a lot and I'm a focal point early in the offense," Bynum told reporters.

A small group of private equity veterans has dreams of creating a new Bay Street powerhouse.
After 17 years at Onex Corp. – where he was a managing director who oversaw some key investing platforms – Andrew Sheiner hung out a shingle in 2012 to create Altas Partners. Since then, he has assembled a team that includes former colleagues as well as industry experts from firms such as KKR & Co. and Providence Equity Partners. Together they are searching for large deals, hoping to write equity cheques of between $100-million and $500-million a transaction.

Béchamel Sauce
Author Notes: This is the traditional French Béchamel Sauce used for gratins, soufflés, with eggs, etc. This will give you a creamy medium thick Béchamel. For a thick Béchamel use 1/2 to 1 ounce more of butter and flour for the same quantity of milk. —Babette's Feast
Serves 1 litre of béchamel
- 4 cups whole milk
- 2.5 ounces butter cut in small cubes
- 2.5 ounces all purpose flour
- salt
- white pepper
- nutmeg
- Warm the milk.
- Sift the flour twice to lighten it.
- In a pan, melt the cut up butter until it starts to sizzle. When it stops sizzling, add the flour all at once and whisk continuously over low heat until well blended and almost dry.
- Slowly whisk in the warm milk, stirring constantly. When it's creamy, continue cooking for 12 minutes over low heat to cook the flour.
- Season with salt, pepper and nutmeg.
- Other ingredients you can add to change the taste: curry or all spice for a vegetable gratin, or Emmenthal cheese for a potato gratin.

While my blog has been somewhat silent over the past couple of weeks, the numbers and comments have been speaking for themselves. I'm fairly confident that within an hour after this post will be up, my blog will pass the 40,000 number, a monumental moment for me since I started this blog just a few short months ago.
I've been undergoing some very personal things and therefore have not been able to write as much as I'd like to, but I am working on some things that will hopefully give my dear readers something to talk about :).
My 23rd birthday is coming up on May 13th, this year in particular my birthday is significant for many reasons, most importantly, the incredible success that I've seen and felt over the past 12 months.
As I reflect on these events, both past and future, I am thankful to you, my dear readers, for giving me the ability and believing in my potential to go from "strength to strength" and take Harvey Milk's quote on giving people hope and turn it into a reality.
With much love,
Chaim Levin
