Hello out there! This is Lenne Tenjo (not japanese, just a stage name) with an Anime-for-by play! Well, not really. I'm a really weird anime fan who has a hard time watching anime because most of the time I can't watch it! I search for pictures of Shaman King, and I always find Pictures of YOH!!! Man, can't they come out with some other kind of pictures? Bring it on, I'm ready!
Sometimes I make characters for the shows, but not a lot. I'm so bored, I end up taking my MP3 player and YELLING out the lyrics when no one's around...
Well, that's about it for now! Sayonara and Konnichiwa! (I'm learning Nihongo, you know)
1,721 total episodes
I miss my friends. x.x
Supposedly I make friends pretty easy so I made friends at my university which is nice but my university is far away and they are all in their thirties so I can't really hang out with them all that much.
That sucks. I miss my friends that have moved and didn't know how much they meant to me until they aren't there so much anymore.
Being talkative is all good. That is cool that you have a friend that you can hang out with who likes anime. I don't really have any friends here that love anime that live near me anymore since we all went our separate ways after high school. But I do have my boyfriend here who somewhat shows my love for anime... but I probably love it more.. ^_^ That is soooo awesome that your friends are that creative, I wouldn't be able to do something like that. ^_^

Being very familiar with Ichiban for the past several years, we noticed something different a few months back. Not only a much longer name, but more than twice the space! The entry alone made it clear this place had gone from neighborhood (charming) hole in the wall to new southside dining hotspot! Just beautiful! Somebody dropped a dime and kept it classy for a strip mall locale.
It's about 4 times the size of the old place with a private dining room, a second bar and a lot of intimate dining space for such an open feel.The menu has changed a bit adding a few more pan-asian dishes, but we chose to ignore this and eat what we came for---the best sushi on the southside.
Crazy Roll sans tail ends...forgot to photograph before diving in! |
As yummy as it is gorgeous! |
Service was as expected---fast, professional and accommodating. Our salads and soups came out quickly and something was pleasantly different about the dressing. Not that it was at all bad before, but a small amount of yummy liquid sat at the bottom of the bowl and really kicked it up a notch...Stella agreed! Seeing her eat salad is a real treat after the long standing protests from Ozzy.
We did end up getting Stella one of the kids meals as we weren't sure how she would respond to sushi. We were happily surprised she sampled a bit of everything with great zest! Her favorites were the sticky rice, orange pieces, and salad. She wanted to like the shrimp, but the texture was too challenging for her to master without far too much of a choking hazard.
The sushi was fast and especially pleasing to the eye as you can see. If you haven't experienced the crazy roll...it really shouldn't qualify as sushi. But it is such a delightful fried treat wrapped in a sushi package---basically a tempura roll with extra crab meat and some killer sauces to boot! There's no denying this is a creation for the western palate.
We also went with two eels rolls, a tuna roll, and a shrimp tempura(as if there wasn't enough fried goodness from the crazy roll). All fantastic! Fred proclaimed being weak in the knees, while Libby silently stared off into space.
We were so glad to get out and get some really good food after such a long time.
Wrap Up
Price-$-$$$,- Half priced Monday's still available, but for sushi, you can't complain about the price.
Atmosphere****,-Absolutely beautiful!!! Well designed and no spared expense.
Service***,-Same good service we have always experienced.
Fred- A+ , The best sushi I've had outside the coasts! With an atmosphere like that, it makes me proud to finally say there is a classy, high-end restaurant on the south side.
Libby- A+, Just what the doctor ordered. A perfectly prepared meal in a quiet, intimate atmosphere that made us feel like we were going out, rather than just grabbing some lunch.
Ozzy- school lunch today.
Estelle- A+, Stella was not out of place in the least and seemed to appreciate everything she ate. One happy baby!

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. -- Backed by a tougher Indiana law, a coalition of Roman Catholic nuns has stepped up efforts to curb the sex trade during this weekend's Super Bowl.
The group, which includes the Congregation of the Sisters of St. Joseph in Cleveland, has contacted hotels in Indianapolis and its environs to be on the lookout for sex trafficking and to take steps to halt it. The effort was first reported by WKYC-TV.
"No one wants human trafficking in their town," Immaculate Heart of Mary Sister Ann Oestreich said in a prepared statement. "These activities happen in the dark. What we are attempting to do is to shine a light on sex trafficking and reduce opportunities for it to happen."
Oestreich is coordinating the Super Bowl 2012 Anti-Trafficking Initiative for the Coalition for Corporate Responsibility for Indiana and Michigan. The group says it has contacted the managers of 220 hotels within a 50-mile radius of Indianapolis to help spot trafficking.
"Human trafficking is a tragic violation of human rights that devastates its victims, strips away their dignity and security, and tears at the fabric of our global society," said Sister of St. Joseph Nancy Conway. "It is a form of imprisonment and oppression which demands a compassionate response to the cries of victims who long for a future with hope."
Major events such as a Super Bowl or Olympics often attract a host of illegal activities, including sex trafficking and gambling.
To deal with an expected increase in prostitution, Indiana passed a law, which went into effect Monday, designed to make prosecution of sex trafficking easier. Among other things, the law makes it a felony to recruit, transport or harbor anyone under the age of 16 for prostitution or other sexual conduct, punishable by 20 to 50 years in prison.
"Sex trafficking is tragic because it is imprisonment and oppression that devastates its victims," Sister Pat Bergen, a team leader of the Congregation of the Sisters of St. Joseph in La Grange Park, Ill., wrote in Friday's Chicago Tribune. "Mostly young women and children, the victims are subject to gross human rights violations, including rape, torture, forced abortions, starvation and threats of torture or murder. Many of these victims have been imported from poverty conditions in foreign countries, duped with promises of good jobs in the U.S. Others were purchased like possessions or kidnapped outright. And some are American runaways whose lives have hit bottom."
The U.S. State Department recently estimated that 14,500 to 18,000 victims are trafficked into the United States annually for prostitution or other forms of forced labor.

American Christians Love Chick-Fil-A Because They Are Chicken
Christians all around America stood in long lines at Chick-Fil-A yesterday and trumpeted their participation all over social media in the same reverence as a gay-pride event. Reports indicate that around half-a-million showed up to give a "cluck for some bucks" in support of traditional marriage. This uprising reveals just how asleep and "chicken" we are. Thousands will fall off pews to oppose gay marriage, yet will not whisper a public peep when our true Freedoms are threatened and slowly taken away.
When ObamaCare was passed in 2010, there was some uprising from people calling themselves members of a "Tea Party." If there were Christians in that bunch, then the Party was nothing compared to the passionate bloviating exhibited over Chick-Fil-A yesterday. Churches were silent.
When the central control of our health — our lives were delegated to the government with the passage of the Affordable Care Act, American Christians were still snoring.
When an ObamaCare mandate declared by fiat earlier this year that Churches must provide birth control coverage for their employees, the Catholic Church came out of the confessionals and squawked a little. When the government punted the responsibility to the insurance companies involved, well the Church largely fell silent. Time for a nap, again I suppose. Whimpy, whimpy, whimpy.
When the Supreme Court issued a stunning verdict in support of ObamaCare, how many American Christians lined the streets to protest that? Exactly.
God gave us the "inalienable" right to life. American Christians are "alienating" that right to the government. They are letting unelected, unknown people in Washington declare how their health is to be dealt with. For some reason, they feel comfortable letting someone else other than God, have that much control over their lives.
So, will Christians stand up in support of life when healthcare is rationed and we have to wait in line for simple tests and medical treatments? They, like the rest of our cowardly country will do nothing. If Christians can't stand against wrong-doing when it is easy to do so now, then they will never resist when it will be difficult later.
Perhaps Christians will rise again when the Government declares Chick-Fil-A's food to be unhealthy and ban it from public consumption? By then it will be too late, chickens.

Physics Department NewsAll Years 2010 2009 2008 2007 2006 2005 2004 2003 2002 2001 2000
For the Collider Detector at Fermilab (CDF) group in Ohio State's Department of Physics, this is an exciting time. Not only did Brian Winer and Richard Hughes, both associate professors, lead the effort to design a particle tracker for CDF, but they had the singular joy of seeing the device in action -- and reveling in the results.
Fermilab's Tevatron is the most powerful particle accelerator of the world, and Winer and Hughes worked for five years to design the fastest tracker in the world: a mass of circuits and parallel processors capable of charting the paths of up to 5 trillion particles per second, emanating from 7.5 million proton-antiproton collisions each second.
The device, called the eXtremely Fast Tracker (XFT), kept pace with the accelerator, and it worked perfectly its first time out. Its initial results matched the computer simulations that Winer and Hughes ran during its development. Now the physicists are busy analyzing data from Fermilab's Collider Run II, which started in March of 2001, and is expected to continue through 2007.
The XFT is the first and most powerful in a series of tracking devices that sort the data emerging from the collider. When a collision occurs that may be of interest to physicists -- for instance, the creation of the theoretical Higgs boson -- the XFT pulls that data from the stream, and passes it long to other devices for more analysis.
"We're dealing with a huge amount of data," said Winer. "From the trillions of collisions that will take place over the next five years, we may only generate 50 events that will help us find the Higgs boson. We have to make sure we can find those key events and save them to tape."
"Because the collisions happen so fast, we had to design the XFT to attain a balance between gathering enough information, and doing it very quickly," Hughes added.

Yashica FR
A camera with no AE, but with electronic shutter. No pictures without battery. A little bit strange philosophy. The shutter release button is smooth and the shutter/mirror noise is low. The frame counter doesn´t work in my model. For me the highlight of the FR is the diagonal-splitfield screen. I mostly focus by using the splitfield and like the fact that I
don´t have to tilt the body when there are no vertical structures in the field of view.
Porst EL 500
The Porst version of the Dacora Super Dignette Electric, released ca. 1968. Rodenstock Color Trinon-Lanthan 2,8/45mm in Prontor-S (B, 30-500). Coupled rangefinder. The camera features two flash connections, a hot shoe and a socket for flashcubes.
My camera has a broken rewind release knob. I assembled this clumsy screw to bring enough pressure on the knob´s rest to release the rewind function. Not nice but working.
Vivitar Series 1 70-210mm/3,5
The Vivitar Series 1 70-21mm/3,5 is a big and heavy zoom with a superb optical quality, which is my favourite telezoom.
I often use it wide open for freehand macro shots. The focussing in the macro position is done by sliding the zoom ring back and forth, which is very good for holding the camera steady. I own the lens with M42 mount and use it with the Chinon CE-II Memotron, which makes a really heavy combo.
Olympus XAs
Olympus XA1
The XA1, often called the ugly duckling of the XA family is a nice little snapshooter. The shutter release button is not as elegant as the ones of the other XAs; the shutter is very silent, the selenium meter in my model works well and the 4/35 fixfokus lens brings crisp pictures when shooting in good light. (The only thing I don´t like is the shutter blocking in low light!)
All pictures on Orwo NP22, expired 1989
Fujica Flash AF Date
Another one of the early AF-cameras. Built 1979, the Fujica Flash AF Date features AF with distance symbols in the finder, a date imprint function with three tiny wheels for Y-M-D on the top and an AF-illuminator which sends a phaser-like beam when the flash is activated. In direct comparison the Fujica is the most crappy of my early AFs, not only in the body´s quality but also in the quality of the pictures.

Children at risk of poor educational outcomes
Theoretical concepts and empirical results
A substantial proportion of children in western countries do not acquire the level of achievement in literacy, mathematics or science required to participate effectively in today's knowledge-based society (OECD 2006, 2010). These children also face a disproportionally high risk to fall behind their age-appropriate class, to be on a low educational track, to attain only a low educational qualification or even to drop out of school without any formal qualification. Different disciplines have studied these "children at risk of poor educational outcomes" using various concepts and methodological approaches. The aim of this special issue is to bring together these various perspectives and therefore to provide a more comprehensive picture of the diverse "risk factors" that are associated with poor educational outcomes. Theoretical as well as empirical contributions are included.

As a kind of update, I've been watching 24 for the past 22 episodes (I seem to be more of a telly addict than wedgeantilles), and as you would expect, the story seems to be on its way to winding up. Unfortunately, as I am a Brit, and the programme is shown on BBC, it lacks the commercial breaks that make each episode up to an hour. Therefore for me, each hour of Jack Bauer's time only lasts 45 minutes, which makes for some interesting questions about just what our friends at CTU (that's the counter terrorist unit to you and me) get up to in their 15 minutes off. As was predicted in the previous write-up, the plot has got bogged down a bit, as Jack Bauer's daughter has just been kidnapped for a third time as far as I can make out, and now Jack himself is in the evil clutches of Dennis Hopper, who plays the arch bad guy in the series. There seems to be some problem with having the whole Bauer family together, as at least one of them seems to be being held captive at any one time!
However, despite these criticisms, I have to say i'm hooked. The split screen, which I was skeptical of like wedgeantilles in the first episode, has proved to be a good way of keeping the sense that lots things are happening simultaneously. The fact that the BBC have taken to showing the previous 3 episodes on Saturday night every month (that's 2 hours 15 minutes of solid 24) to keep you up to date on what is happening seems to suggest that the show is a hit, and it certainly seems to be popular with everyone I talk to (apart from my mother, who claims to despise and loathe television and then watches Holby City avidly every week).
A recent interview with Kiefer Sutherland in the Radio Times raised some interesting points in my view. The first is that since the timing on this programme has to be perfect, the actors must have to do each scene in a specific time limit, and get it pretty damn close to being right (I admit, there will be some leeway given the magic that editors can do). This seems like me to be a pretty tall order, but I haven't noticed any forced lines or speeded up dialogue by the actors, which impresses me a lot. The second point is more of a question. How are they going to make a sequel that isn't exactly the same as this series? (According to Sutherland, a sequel is in the works, and it will cover another 24 hours in Jack Bauer's life. Given that the opening titles include Bauer saying "This is the longest day of my life", what will the second series include? "This is the longest day of my life - again"? 24 episodes is as long as 3 seasons of a lot of series, so maybe the makers should stop the idea here? Who knows, they might make it work again.
Anyway, even after 22 episodes, I'm still intrigued as to what will happen in the end, and my father is still convinced that Tony is a bad guy (shock horror!), so I guess we'll have to watch the last two episodes too!
Give it a try. You may like it, you may find it totally monotonous and plodding, and if you start watching it now you probably won't have a clue what's going on, but at least it's an innovative idea in the sea of American sitcoms.

Support "The Toughest Race on Earth" project at Kickstarter
The Yukon Quest dogsled race from Whitehorse to Fairbanks that starts in February of 2013 will be the 30th running of the race. Scott Chesney and Mark Gillet are trying to raise funds through Kickstarter to photograph the race and turn those photos into a coffee-table sized book and DVD.
Both are experienced photographers, and have photographe
previous Yukpn Quest races. Scott lives here in Fairbanks and is a musher himself. This would be a great book, but they need to raise $20,000.00 to make it possible.
Earlier this year someone in Anchorage raised $30,000.00 through Kickstarter to photograph the Iditarod. The Yukon Quest is better! The Yukon Quest is tougher! Interior Alaska and the Yukon should be able to raise $20,000.00. Let's fund this book. Check out "
The Toughest Race on Earth

+1 for bear spray as a primary means of protection, but it's definitely worth having a firearm as a secondary means of defense. It seems indisputable that spray is more effective under most conditions, mainly because it's easier to deploy effectively when you're under pressure - i.e., there's no need for precision aiming, and no worries about adequate penetration, etc. See here:
And here's a useful site from a good spray company with info about bear attacks:
Avoiding Bear Maulings, Grizzly Attack Defense
On the other hand, as this article (Best Grizzly Defense: Bear Spray or Gun? | Outdoor Life) notes, "on an extremely windy day, bear spray could be useless". In that case, a firearm may be your best bet.
I'm a fan of the G20 for woods carry, and I bought one for exactly this purpose after doing a good bit of research on various pistol-caliber options. Obviously there are better rounds for bears (.44 and up), but the combination of power, capacity and weight in the G20 won me over.
However, I've read reports of bears going down after being hit with a number of .40 rounds (for instance: Bear killed with .40 caliber handgun - Alaska - Sleepless in Midland).
My main recommendation re: firearms would be to load up with premium ammunition designed for woods carry. Buffalo Bore and Double Tap both have ammo of this sort in various calibers, for instance:
DoubleTap Ammunition
Hope you have a great trip, with no bear encounters!

Yes, this winter really stinks up here in Central North Dakota. The weather is all everyone seems to be talking about and yes, WHINING about. On my drive home from work, it actually got me to thinking about another kind of whine…oh yes, baby, the much better kind spelled W-I-N-E…it always cheers me up!
As some of you blog readers know, Lynette and I started out together as junking partners-in-crime before Junk Fest was "founded" by her, me, Cassie and Missy. Lynette previously blogged on this site about a fabulous wine cart we created together, both LOVED and ultimately sold. Damn, why did we sell it? It was truly a "one-of-a-kind". Yeah, there have been things sold we do regret. Especially alot of of our wine creations. Shown here are a few other wine items sold at Junk Fest…just call it looking back at a few wine memories...
Here's an awesome wine cork frame created by Lynette a couple years ago. That's a wine label in the middle.
This piece, believe it or not, was an old dilapidated dresser ready for the wood pile. Missy transformed it into a wine cabinet...amazing save, huh?!
Yes, wine items are a hot ticket at our annual Junk Fest sales...and that's NOTHING to whine about! Cheers!

Great ideas for wine carts. You four ladies are truly talented. I'm so glad to have been in touch with you all through Junk Market Styles website.
I do believe that Spring will come to Minnesota and even North Dakota. There were some days when I wondered about that.

BUT, It's The Law!
Even though the parents have decided that our school is their number one choice, our principal is very concerned that our school isn't the right placement for him. This is 99% a personal issue, and 1% an administrative concern. He would need a full time aide, and a differentiated/personal curriculum. The other resource room teacher and I have told our principal a number of times that we would take care of the academic piece (a simple matter, really), and the district will be paying for a one-on-one aide.
So what's the problem? We're really not sure why our principal continues to fish for reasons why this student shouldn't come here. It's "but" this and "but" that at every turn. This has been going on for weeks, and I'm exasperated.
Truthfully, if the parents decide to take him somewhere else, that's okay with me. But right now, the parents want him at our school and we CAN provide the services he needs. I'm fighting for him for that reason. I will admit, however, that at this point, I also want him here simply because our principal doesn't.
Does that mean I have Oppositional Defiant Disorder?

News From Silicon Valley's Neighborhoods
Sunnyvale--Officials from NASA held the last of three public meetings last Thursday night on their plans to develop Moffet Field into shared-use educational and research and development park. Sunnyvale and Mountain View residents and many other professionals who have a stake in the development plans packed Sunnyvale's City Council chambers for an update on the plan and to offer community feedback.
A representative of Intergovernmental Affairs, the Development Office Chief and the Chief of the Environmental Services Division were all on hand to represent NASA and to give a quick overview of their four development alternatives.
Moffet Field, which was originally built as a Navy air base in 1933, has been owned and operated by NASA since 1994. Since then, the field has been used in what officials describe as a somewhat underdeveloped capacity as NASA Ames Research Center.
NASA officials call Moffet one of their most underutilized resources. Their plan for the field is to join with universities, high-tech industries, government agencies and other organizations to create a campus focused on aeronautics, information technology, nanotechnology, space sciences, life sciences and astrobiology.
Before they can begin work on this park, however, officials must come up with an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) in order to comply with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969. The NASA officials rattled off more than 10 key traffic areas that will be greatly affected by the new jobs that will accompany the new development. However, many community members scolded them for not coming up with any plan to combat the current housing shortage.
The most ambitious of the four plans NASA unveiled would, according to NASA's Development Office Chief Marla Harrison, add almost 5 million square feet of new floor space. That would almost double the existing footprint of the site.
Figuring that three employees can fit into each 1,000 square feet of space, NASA officials say they could add up to 15,000 new jobs to their current workforce of 5,500. Many of the people who fill these jobs will look for housing in the Sunnyvale/Mountain View area.
"This would be like creating a whole new city. [As many as] 22,500 new units of housing would have to be built in order to accommodate the amount of people who will be working either at or around Moffet Field," said Susan Russell of the nonprofit Mid-Peninsula Housing Organization.
Irvin Daweed of the Sierra Club, speaking on his own behalf, recommended that NASA join with the Department of Housing and Urban Development to solve this problem. He also noted that since 1995 the new jobs to new housing ratio in this area has been 11.6 to 1. By ignoring this issue, NASA is just "adding fuel to the fire." Another speaker joked that the new workers could live in Modesto.
Besides the need for additional housing, many people present agreed with Sharon Neiderhaus from Stanford University. "You need to create a walkable, connected community," she said. Neiderhaus later presented NASA Environmental Services Division Chief Sandy Olliges with a book entitled Suburban Nation, describing such a community in detail.
Many community members voiced their requests and concerns for restaurants, medical facilities, and other businesses that cater to everyday needs. A simple theory behind these demands, some said, is that 20,000 people working at the field would need places for a quick bite to eat in the immediate vicinity. If there were none they would clog up the streets of Sunnyvale and Mountain View all day long.
Despite the public's view that NASA lacks enough planning for housing and other facilities, a few were encouraged by some of NASA's commitments. Harrison said that there would be no new development of wind tunnels, airfields or disturbance of the existing wetlands. She vowed that they would protect the existing animal habitats, landscape with native plants, irrigate with reclaimed water, and maintain the Bay Trail.
Some of the residents, however, don't think that maintaining the Bay Trail is enough. Sunnyvale resident Thomas Mayer said the amount of added vehicle activity would make a bad situation for bikers even worse. He complained that it's already difficult for even the most experienced of cyclists to navigate their way from Sunnyvale to the San Francisco Bay. With 15,000 additional vehicles on already congested streets, the task will be almost impossible.
Mayer wants more bridges for bicycles so that they won't have to compete in a losing battle with the overload of cars. He also demanded that more entrances be opened into Moffet Field. Under NASA's existing plan, there will only be one entrance, located on the western side of the field. This made no sense to Mayer and others. They pointed out that the existing light rail station was on the southern side of the field and the exits from Highways 101 and 237 in the southeast corner.
But not everyone voiced concerns. A few audience members applauded NASA's plans. Some even said they thought that the plan wasn't ambitious enough.
All of the comments from the public were recorded by an official court reporter, and they will all be taken into consideration by the proper authorities. NASA still has a long process ahead of them before they can break ground on the site.
Officials plan to compile comments from the three public meetings and include them in their considerations as they develop an EIS plan during the next year to 18 months. After completing the EIS, officials say they will take it back to the public and ask for more feedback.
After the final report is concluded, NASA will take one to two months to decide which of the four alternatives--ranging from changing nothing to adding 5 million square feet of buildings--is most feasible.
NASA will still be accepting public comments until July 31. Written comments should be mailed to:
Sandy Olliges

Location: The ostium of the posterior interventricular vein is typically near the ostium of the coronary sinus itself. In most human hearts we have observed a valve associated with the ostium as this venous drainage enters the coronary sinus.
Function: This cardiac vein returns deoxygenated blood (containing metabolic waste products) from the posterior aspects of both the right and left ventricles. This vein typically follows along the posterior ventricular septal border.

Simultaneous simulations of uptake in plants and leaching to groundwater of cadmium and lead for arable land amended with compost or farmyard manure.
Publication: Research - peer-review › Journal article – Annual report year: 2012
The water budget of soil, the uptake in plants and the leaching to groundwater of cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb) were simulated simultaneously using a physiological plant uptake model and a tipping buckets water and solute transport model for soil. Simulations were compared to results from a ten-year experimental field study, where four organic amendments were applied every second year. Predicted concentrations slightly decreased (Cd) or stagnated (Pb) in control soils, but increased in amended soils by about 10% (Cd) and 6% to 18% (Pb). Estimated plant uptake was lower in amended plots, due to an increase of K(d) (dry soil to water partition coefficient). Predicted concentrations in plants were close to measured levels in plant residues (straw), but higher than measured concentrations in grains. Initially, Pb was mainly predicted to deposit from air into plants (82% in 1998); the next years, uptake from soil became dominating (30% from air in 2006), because of decreasing levels in air. For Cd, predicted uptake from air into plants was negligible (1-5%).

It wouldn't be a Halloween countdown without the listing of the one and only John Carpenter's Halloween. The film that started it all, and although there have been many sequels and even a remake, none will ever compare to the original. I am sure I don't have to tell all you fans of the Halloween season about this movie, and I am assuming you have all seen it....if not, shame on you!!

Im new to the filofax world and I must say IM IN LOVE!I Have a personal metropol that is my planner and my wallet.
So here is my question: What are some must haves for a filofax? Im a college student so I just want to know what you all suggest to keep organized yet still keep it colorful and personalized?
Thanks so much :DRepliesSTICKERS!
Also I found having a year planner or monthly planner pages was critical for deadlines. The most important thing is find a layout that works for you, there are so many different ones that sticking with week on two pages just beacuse it came with the filofax might end up being less organised than a day per page or even a week on one pages with notes or vertical WO2P.Post it notes, repositionable flags. Marhta STewart has a very good line out now. Pilot Frixion pens. They come in about 5 - 6 colours and you can erase them. Highlighters (dry) so they don't bleed. If you look at Filofax blogs and videos on You tube you will see Washi Tape. A mainstay for any serious Filofaxer who is into colour. If you are on Facebook Jessica I would recommend that you come on over to the Filofax for Philofaxt fans group. Lots of people to meet and regular photos and ideas being mashed around!! Love to see you there! Bec
Hmm. I wonder if I'm unusual then...? I have only just got any kind of stickers for my planner (and haven't used them much), I don't have any Post-It notes or repositional flags, I have never successfully used either a year planner or a month planner and I don't use Frixion pens...
Am I weird??RepliesNo, not unusual. There are many in the Facebook group who just "old school it" as I like to say. I don't use all the colours etc.. myself. Just occasionally put in a bit of colour if I am feeling a bit down. I use the Frixion pens as I ALWAYS mess up or change my mind!! :)
DeleteNot weird - unique. Aren't we all? We all use our Filos in the way that works best for us, and that's the way it should be.
To each their own!
ReginaThe year planner saved me a LOT of hassle doing work days before its due because i am terrible at looking forward on the weekly pages! deadlines and things tend to slip through the gap and when I was at uni i ended up starting work on a monday that was due on friday! i've never used a month planner but I know some people prefer them to year planners. I don't use frixion pens because the short period of time I used mujo erasables I ended up getting far too fussy about how messy my planner looked so i decided to stop caring.
Stickers just brighten everything up, especially as i only use one pen! and the only repositional flags i use dont get repositioned and are my side and top tabs (I only have 7 of them). I dont use post-its because i always forget theyre in the pocket of my filofax!
My year planner is now just a track of what i've done at work on a daily basis (ie which project ive worked on for how many hours) It makes timesheet day easier!@ Amanda
I use a few small stickers, but not as decor. They mark recurring things I then don't have to write out, such as: round dot, irregular cat medication schedule; star, home hockey game (team is named Stars); heart, meeting of journaling group; etc. The stickers don't take up much space and are easy to spot as reminders.I like the frixion pens - my schedule can change with training courses and meetings begin shifted, and I have to record provisional dates which often don't come to anything. Being able to rub out and entry is really useful. I use purple for work and green for personal. However I don't use other stickers etc - I can't be doing with the perceived 'disorder' it brings!
DeleteI have loads of bits and pieces to use in my filo, but I rarely use any of it... :-)
DeleteA pencil with a rubber on the top works for me :) I've heard the Frixion ink 'disappears' under certain circumstances....not something I'd care to experience......
Does anyone know where I could find an accurate information about ring sizes in all kinds of A5, pesonal, and pocket FF?
Thank youWhen I was once working with someone I was admiring their Filefax. They said that a quantity of leather recovered from the Mary Rose had survived in good condition because it was compressed deep inside a thick bundle. They said that a limited edition of Filofaxes had been made from the leather and that theirs was one of them. Has anybody else heard this story and know if it is true? I would think that if so then one of these Filofaxea would be quite valuable.
ReplyDeleteI just got my first Filofax on Friday (a Metropol personal in raspberry). The W2P diary that came with it works perfectly for me, but that might change once I find a job later.
I'm a big kid and proud of it, so stickers, washi tape, an understatedly playful magnetic bookmark and a few postcards as page dividers have already made their way into my Filo. I have a few ideas for later and look forward to implementing them.
I had no idea getting organized could be so much fun!Repliesi found the W02P worked fine for the first 6 months or so until I realised that the largest chunk of each day was a to-do list that often got erased and moved to the next day, I now use week on one page with notes which has enough space for essential daily stuff and a weekly to do list, which still seems to get moved regularly to the next week when i run out of time but seems to work better in general.
Everyone has different needs from the diary pages! I don't use my filofax for work other than vertical yearly planner and the odd day when i know in advance i'll be working late.
As for stickers, I am on a paperchase ban until I have used up the 9 sheets i still have sitting in a drawer!
About a year ago I found a lovely Mulberry Ostrich Agenda in very good condition - it just had one fault: SMELL!! It was really, really bad (mothball, mildew, old suitcase in a wet cellar..) and I´ve tried about everything "known to mankind" to get rid of this smell.. nothing worked! So 2 days ago I decided I would not use it in this condition anyway and I just as well could try something drastic: I put it in the washing machine (with saddle soap) and afterwards into the dryer. It came out perfect! No more bad smell, the leather soft and shiny . It is one of the old Agendas - so no cardboard etc. sewn into it. Has anybody else tried something like this and how did it turn out?
ReplyDeleteRepliesHaven't tried anything like that as I don't have any leather filofaxes but another trick would be to freeze a smelly leather filofax for a few days...might be a solution for those with cardboard bits in them. The key is to seal the filofax in a plastic bag to ensure no water gets in it.
Other products that could work similar to saddle soap are Leather Groom and Vulpex (at a 10% concentration in white spirit). How commercially available the latter is, I have no idea, I'm approaching this from the perspective of a historical object conservator!
Hello everybody,
I've just purchased a red Metropol Slimline (preowned but new) and the seller sent along a full French week-per-page-with-notes 2013 refill, unused, and complete with all general information, registration sheet, etc.
I won't need it as I find I don't use a diary anymore, so I could send it (free of charge) to whomever might be interested.
Here is what this refill looks like (please be aware that Monday to Saturday are on the left page, and Sunday is on the bottom of the right page, under the "notes" section) :
Would anyone be interested ? If so, please contact me at services ((at)) fredpillot.fr ! Thanks in advance.

When you are coding with the ADO API and Connector/ODBC, you
need to pay attention to some default properties that aren't
supported by the MySQL server. For example, using the
CursorLocation Property
returns a result of −1
for the RecordCount Property
. To have the
right value, you need to set this property to
, as shown in the VB code
Dim myconn As New ADODB.Connection Dim myrs As New Recordset Dim mySQL As String Dim myrows As Long myconn.Open "DSN=MyODBCsample" mySQL = "SELECT * from user" myrs.Source = mySQL Set myrs.ActiveConnection = myconn myrs.CursorLocation = adUseClient myrs.Open myrows = myrs.RecordCount myrs.Close myconn.Close
Another workaround is to use a SELECT
statement for a similar query to get the
correct row count.
To find the number of rows affected by a specific SQL
statement in ADO, use the RecordsAffected
property in the ADO execute method. For more information on
the usage of execute method, refer to

Being accused of sexual assault or other sex offense can devastate your family, wreak havoc on your friendships, and destroy your good name. While accusers are often granted anonymity and protected by authorities, the accused is frequently subjected to embarrassment and mistreatment at the hands of investigators. While the rights of the alleged victim are protected, the rights of the accused are often trampled amid allegations of sexual assault. Early intervention and counsel from a qualified Maryland sex crimes lawyer can help ensure your rights are maintained from the initial stages of investigation. By quickly retaining a skilled sex crimes attorney in Maryland, you allow your lawyer to fully investigate the charge against you, preserving crucial evidence for your defense.
Maryland sex crime attorneys are well-qualified to handle the intricacies and complexities of a Maryland sex offense case. If you are questioned about your involvement in a sexual assault and/or battery, if you have been accused of sexual assault, or if you have been arrested, maintain your right to silence. Do not speak with police or investigators until you have spoken with your Maryland sex crimes lawyer. Call today for immediate, experienced defense from a team of sex offense attorneys.
Maryland Sex Offenses
Maryland sex offenses range from sexting or solicitation in which no sexual contact actually occurs to violent, first degree rape.
- First Degree Sexual Offense – sexual act committed by means of force, threat of force, or use of weapon; rape committed against a child under 13 by an adult 18 or older.
- Second Degree Sexual Offense – sexual acts committed by force or threat of force; statutory rape against someone not legally able to consent (by age or mental incapacity, for example)
- Third Degree Sexual Offense – non-consensual sexual contact accompanied by an aggravating factor such as kidnapping or threat of injury.
- Fourth Degree Sexual Offense – unwanted, non-consensual sexual contact.
- Solicitation of a Minor
- Human
- Federal Sex Offenses
Penalties for Maryland Sex Crimes
The associated legal penalties vary in severity according to the crime. While a fourth degree sex offense is punishable by a maximum of one year in jail, a first degree sex offense is punished by a maximum sentence of life in prison. Because these maximum sentences include one year, 10 years, 20 years, and life, depending on the offense, negotiating a plea to a lesser charge can be a powerful defense strategy, shaving years off of the possible prison sentence. Sometimes, however, it is better not to plead guilty to any charge, instead fighting aggressively to defend your innocence.
Other Consequences of a Sex Crime Conviction
A sexual assault conviction carries a lifetime of consequences, from lengthy prison sentences to mandatory sex offender registration. While the legal penalties of a sexual assault conviction continue for decades, the personal ramifications may follow you the rest of your life: a permanent record of a felony conviction which can hinder housing and employment, loss of custody of your children, the destruction of personal relationships.
A sex crimes lawyer in Maryland will have experience handling serious and sensitive cases in Maryland courts, ranging from felonies to misdemeanors. An attorney can tell your side of the story to the court while fighting to protect your rights, record, and reputation. Call to schedule a free consultation with an attorney.

The same thing happened to my AS handgrades. After wearing for 6 months on a rotation basis, the left shoe looks like it was a pair from a different vintage as the right shoe. I've sworn off the brand completely and moved on. My 2 pairs of meermin cost less than that and have no issues like that. I've no doubt it was both a clicker issue and a cost saving exercise.
I've downgraded to "lesser shoes" because for the disappointment is less with them. That said, those with...

And I thought this was great the first time through! I got to say....the illustrations definitely put the magic touch on the imagination.
Was Hawgdaddy the lab rat for the Mark II? Seems like I heard an awful lot of screaming and splashing upstream of me....
I think he did borrow the Mark II. This screaming -- did it end with a sigh? Was he smoking a cigarette afterwards?
It must have been pipe or cigar. I don't smoke cigarettes. Say, you have any more of those Mark IIs? I'll give you a good price for your remaining stock.
Actually Reed, it was followed with much moaning, then a HUGE sigh....When he came back to the truck, legs still a little wobbly, with two rather large Cuban's hanging out of his mouth, I knew something was up.
You know, it was kinda weird. He didn't take those waders off the rest of the trip!
Nice blog! Also is very interesting all the pictures of the UV ray. It´s good to have that kind ofinformation when you ty.

Vienna, the former capital of the Austro-Hungarian empire, was a hotbed of innovation in the years around the turn of the century. Sigmund Freud, Gustav Mahler, Arnold Schonberg, Egon Schiele and Gustav Klimt were all at work, as were the architects and designers who clubbed together in 1903 to found the famous Viennese craft workshop known as the Wiener Werkstatte.
While the rejection of Victorian clutter in favour of the clear, clean lines associated with modernism was an international trend, the Wiener Werkstatte represents the first full flowering of the style.
The architect Otto Wagner (1841-1918) is regarded as the father figure of the movement. He began his career designing buildings in the conventional revivalist styles of the period, but had a blinding conversion. His building for Vienna's central post office is often hailed as a key forerunner of modernist design. Sotheby's sold one of the desks he designed for the post office in September 1993 for pounds 40,700 - a wild price; they have another in next week's sale estimated at pounds 15,000-pounds 20,000. It is made from stained and polished beechwood with aluminium trimmings and dates from 1904.
The sensation of the sale, from a scholarly point of view, is the furniture that Wagner designed two years earlier for the offices of Die Zeit newspaper. This was the first fully fledged explosion of functional modernist design and, until this sale, was not thought to be still in existence. The sale includes bentwood chairs (pounds 20,000-pounds 30,000 the pair) and stools (pounds 10,000-pounds 15,000 a pair), the arms strengthened with aluminium strips and the feet with aluminium sabots. There is a table with a functional oak top and nickel-plated tubular metal legs (pounds 30,000-pounds 40,000). There is a wooden reception desk (pounds 4,000-pounds 6,000) - which looks like hundreds of other reception desks in rather old-fashioned offices all over the world but is, of course, the prototype.
The Wiener Werkstatte proper was founded by one of Wagner's pupils, Josef Hoffmann (1870-1956), and the designer Koloman Moser (1868-1918), who taught at the Vienna craft college (Kunstgewerbeschule). They were bankrolled by Fritz Waerndorfer (1867-1939), a wealthy connoisseur who travelled widely for his family's textile business. The first workshop in place was for metalworking and was followed by cabinet making, book binding and other crafts. It was organised on socialist principles, with designers and craftsmen working as equals.
In their 1905 'working programme' Hoffmann and Moser said the aim of the workshop was 'to give comfort to all those who accept the message of Ruskin and Morris . . . We wish to establish intimate contact between public, designer and craftsman and to produce good, simple domestic requisites. We start from the purpose in hand, usefulness is our first requirement, and our strength has to lie in good proportions and materials well handled.'
They were in close touch with Charles Rennie Mackintosh in Glasgow, who had exhibited with the avant-garde Vienna Secession group in 1900 and designed a music room for Waerendorfer. 'I have the greatest possible sympathy for your latest idea and regard it as simply brilliant,' he wrote to Waerendorfer, urging him on to tackle 'the greatest task which can be accomplished in this century: namely the production of all objects of daily use in such a marvellous form and at such a price that they lie within the reach of the poorest, and in such quantities that the ordinary man in the street is forced to buy them, because he cannot get anything else, and because he will soon not wish to buy anything else'.
In Vienna as in Britain, these ideals came to nothing. The man in the street preferred conventional styles and the workshop was supported by a few big commissions, mostly from the rich but enlightened Jewish bourgeoisie. The star turn of next week's sale is the bedroom suite Koloman Moser designed for a Dr Holzl - the Victoria and Albert Museum has a writing desk and chair from the same source. The suite comprises a wardrobe, bed, bedside tables, dressing table, carpet and cabinets; they are exquisitely veneered with geometric marquetry in exotic woods, heightened with metal and mother-of-pearl inlay.
Sotheby's have, understandably, singled out the wardrobe as the most desirable piece; it is estimated at pounds 200,000-pounds 250,000 while valuations on the other pieces range from pounds 6,000 to pounds 25,000.
Besides geometric marquetry, the wardrobe doors are inlaid with two sinuous fin de siecle ladies, reminiscent of Aubrey Beardsley, with ivory bobbles in their yew wood hair.
Philippe Garner, Sotheby's expert, points out the parallels with a Moser desk sold in Monaco in 1982 for Fr1.5m (pounds 150,000) and a cabinet sold in 1984 for Fr2.1m, both also inlaid with sinuous ladies, a motif which Moser copied from Mackintosh. 'We haven't had anything of that quality since the early 1980s,' Garner says.
Another of the Werkstatte's most famous commissions was the Purkersdorf Sanatorium; the building was designed by Hoffmann and the interiors by Hoffmann and Moser around 1901-1904. The black-and-white slatted chairs that Moser designed for the entrance hall hit a financial high last year when a Japanese collector carried off a repainted example at pounds 83,600.
Another, with its original paint, is on sale next week at an estimated pounds 50,000- pounds 70,000. There are also two of the bentwood chairs that Hoffmann designed for the dining room, estimated at pounds 7,000 to pounds 10,000 each.
The 80-lot sale contains a supporting cast of lesser furniture, mostly identified as designed for specific houses or clients, and a few cheaper oddities - two black leather purses stamped with gold, designed by Hoffmann and estimated at pounds 400 to pounds 600, for instance. A Hoffmann table lamp, circa 1905, with its original red silk shade, can be had for pounds 5,000 to pounds 7,000.
It's possible that Sotheby's will have some difficulty shifting the lesser items. The Vienna 1900 look became very fashionable in the 1980s but seems to have lost its popularity in the 1990s. The prize pieces remain sought after, however, and there should be strong competition for them.- (Photographs omitted)

I used an older Hello Kitty bigz die that is no longer available to purchase.
If you get a chance this Saturday and want to do some crafting, I'll be at Ben Franklin Crafts Pearl City doing a make & take from 10:00 - 11:30 am. There's going to be a lot of other crafting tables and door prizes.
Have a great day and I hope to be back to posting again!!!

It's a pretty good week to be a fan of sci-fi indie sandbox The Repopulation. First off, the game is currently holding down the top stop in Massively's rotating game header. As if that weren't enough, Above & Beyond Technologies has also announced that it's reached the first stretch goal of its new Kickstarter campaign. This means that the Rocharus will be available at launch and will become the game's "first tamed mount."
The title also made quick work of its Greenlight campaign, though how and when The Repopulation will become available on Steam is still up in the air. Click through the links below for more details as well as a preview of the next stretch goal reward.
