A Memorial to friends and family who are no longer with us.

A Memorial to friends and family who are no longer with us.
"To the world you might be one person, but to one person you might be the world."
"Some people come into our lives and quickly go......
Others come into our lives and leave footprints on our hearts, And we are never, ever the same.."
In Loving Memory of Steven M. Breda - Texas - September 5, 2004
Steven Graduated High School in June 2002 and was my oldest grandson and was the one who would always come over and take care of the kids when we were away. He loved all animals and had a way with animals. I never saw a animal turn away from him. I know he crossed that Rainbow Bridge and is playing with all the bullies and critters that have passed over the bridge..
When I think of Stevie, the thoughts that cross my mind are admiration, pride and regret. I admired him so much for how uncomplicated a life he lead. It was nice to watch him enjoy the things that mattered to him, like his video games, going to work and reading his books. Outside of that, he didn't require much more. We should all lead from his example to value and appreciate the things in our lives that make us happy.
As Stevie started growing up, he was the one I worried about. I couldn't help thinking whether he would be able to hold his own in the world. When I heard he got a job, I was so proud of him and he set my concerns at ease. His job gave him the one thing none of us could independence. With that, he took the step he needed to get out in the world. The fact that he had no transportation of his own didn't stop him. Once he had a purpose to get out and explore the world, he was a hard one to keep at home. After that you were lucky if you saw his shadow passing by. In Loving Memory of Steven M. Breda - Texas - September 5, 2004 And, it was his shadow that I saw most of the time when he would stop by to visit with us and the bullies.. These are the regrets that I have -- the missed opportunities for family get-togethers or just catching up on how everyone is doing. If this tragedy teaches us anything it should be to bind a family tighter, visit more and love stronger.
I don't know why this terrible thing has happened and it is not my place to judge. But if I had to think about it, I'm sure God needed him for a very important task -- possibly to be guardian angel for our family. I would be very honored and we should all be so fortunate. We could all go crazy with the why's and how comes so I just try to think of Stevie. And, every time I do, I will always smile because I am only able to picture Stevie with that sweet, wonderful smile on his face. Steven you are missed... TX JUDY/KIDS
In Loving Memory of Sonia Lukiw - Bridgewater, NJ - December 22, 2004
Sonia my dear sweet friend, you were taken so quickly from us. I know you are in heaven, surrounded by your beloved pets you lost so long ago. I miss you terribly; you made me laugh everyday and your kindness was overwhelming. Our love of bulldogs brought us together, and a wonderful friendship followed.
When the sun shines in Florida, I will see your brilliant smile; when the rain pours, I will feel your tears for us, and a new star is twinkling in the sky, your eyes shining down brightly upon us all.
Rest in peace my friend; you will always have a special place in my heart. I promise to watch over your family, Casey, and your beloved bulldog Stanley always.
With much love, Cathy, Hut & Zimmer Kittell
In loving memory of my best friend Daniela Stephan, Bischofsheim, Germany
01.01.1971- 02.22.1989
She wasn't just my best friend but she was my only true friend. We were so close, we were closer then sisters could be. People would say we were even closer then twins.
We could talk for hours on end yet understand each other without words as well. We would get together every day, and call each other several times each day as well, never running out of things to say and share.
How much fun we had together, so much laughter. Always we were laughing, people would stare at us, not understanding. The memories are still so fresh and I smile now as I think of her. We had so much in common, both of us loving animals, but not allowed to have any pets. We often went to animal shelters, to walk the dogs or play with the cats.
As we grew into young ladies, our friendship only deepened and grew. In those difficult teenager years, we could always depend on one another. Her family was not supportive of her and her stepfather was scary and physically as well as emotionally abusive. Those weren't always easy times back then, yet together we could laugh despite it all. We had each other to turn to. We were true soul mates.
It seems like yesterday, when she called me on that Wednesday evening. She was getting ready to go out, while I stayed home feeling sick. We talked on the phone for a long time that evening and made plans to get together the next day.
Then came the call, late that same night. It was Danielas aunt, the only person in her family that ever really cared about her. She was crying and kept asking me, if it was truly me on the phone (she thought I had been with Daniela that night, as we were always together), then she talked to my mother. I was confused, as I watched my mother starting to cry. I started to shake and feel a terrible fear growing inside of me. Then my mom told me that Daniela got hit by a car as she crossed a dark and busy road. Then my mother avoided my eyes, and wouldn't say itand I didn't ask.
I made plans that sleepless night as I laid in bed, about buying flowers, presents and going to visit Daniela in the hospital, surely she was badly hurt but would be alright When I finally faced the reality that she had passed away, I felt so empty. Many times I picked up the phone to dial her number, like I had done so many times before, only to look at the receiver in my hand and put it back down. After the funeral I remember sitting in my room, not knowing for the world of me what I should do right then and there.
We were special friends. We often talked about how we would still sit around as little old ladies, still giggling about everything. How we would watch each others children grow up, and how we would always be there for one anotherno matter what might come our way.
Often I sit in my quiet house at night, and miss her terribly. It's been almost 16 years now, and it doesn't seem possible that so much time has passed. I think of her almost daily and she is often in my dreams at night.
I shared a lifetime of laughter and friendship with her in those short years, and for that I am very grateful. True friends really are far and between, and are precious to behold.
I only wish she was still here, and we could talk and laugh together, share our joys and heartaches, our secrets and our lives. And one day sit around, as little old women, still giggling about everything and everyone.
I haven't talked about her to anyone in a very long time and thank you for the opportunity to express my love for my dear friend Daniela, whom I still miss dearly. It was nice to write about the true and precious friendship we have shared.
God speed, my dear friend. Lucy Howard (Lu)

Development on the registry is picking up pace, after three years of neglection. pcg has some interesting ideas regarding XML description of the plug-ins. It will take a little longer to implement, but make for a very cool update interface
The move to XML is also looking good because neo indicated that in GIMP 2.0, some of the plug-in interface might be XML based. Nothing certain for now, but looks promising.

Thread: Nitrate bio-reactor from Hell
Nitrate bio-reactor from Hell
Been both busy and concerned by my nitrate filter from hell (a commercial unit) so have been mostly lucking the last month or so. Now that I have figured out my latest tank issues, I decided to post them to warn others if they are considering a commercial bio-reactor to remove nitrates from their tank water (fresh or salt.)
My commercial nitrate removing bio-reactor has been, of late, creating a nitrite signal from its output water! Luckily for me my tank is over filtered so this is not terrible issue nor dangerous . Of course, for these bio-processing units this is unusual once they have cycled the first time (power lost, even for a day would mean little to this class of filters but I have had no power loss anyway.) So the issue of late was Why was it cycling again?
After a few days of confusion I discovered that the units extremely stupid pumping attachment system had partly failed (a piece of piping tore open) the damn unit used three different tubes each of a different (!) diameter to couple the external plastic tube that feeds the main processing units to the in tank water pump (why that many tubes just really shows what clowns this company employs for design work.)
I removed their joke of a connector system and installed a single stainless steel compression fitting to link the pump motor to the filters main feed line luckily, the threads for one side of the compression fitting easily cuts and seals into the inside diameter of the in tank water pump intake pipe of course I choose a compression coupling that matched the bio-reactors intake plastic hose.
I have always hated their coupling system and wondered if it would cause problems later (boy, did it) and how have even more reason to hate that companies design.
The nitrites from the bio-reactor have dropped but are still too high but my canister and algae scrubber remove all these nitrites so my tank still reads zero (under 0.05 ppm) but it is not acceptable for that unit to be adding toxic waste to my tank, anyway! The strange part of this latest issue is that the nitrate bio-reactor filter from hell is now putting out a higher nitrate signal (0.2 ppm) water than my tank water reads (only 0.1 ppm.) Apparently my low cost, and simple algae scrubber can handle that trivial level.
I refuse to abandon the nitrate bio-unit from hell since it was so expensive (and does remove nitrates) but this just proves that commercial units are basically poorly designed (but do work) and Id say that except for experts, no one should ever consider buying these units.
On the other hand, my simple algae scrubber is a delight and saves me yet again.Knowledge is fun(damental)
A 75 gal with eight Discus, fake plants, and a lot of wood also with sand substrate. Clean up crew is down to just two Sterba's Corys. Filters: continuous new water flow; canister w/UV, in-tank algae scrubber!! Finally, junked the nitrate removal unit from hell.

Quick update relative to my previous lucking ... I mean lurking ... do need to edit before posting.
I've been keeping a close eye on the reactor. So, my nitrates are back down to zero on the output water from the reactor - I guess the repair is working well and the nitrites are now down to a trace - under 0.05 ppm and barely showing a color. Should drop to zero very soon. Again, a bio-reactor is not something anyone should consider unless a real expert - still, the manual said nothing about that danger, either. Overall, just bad design combined with poor instructions is an extremely poor way for a company to do business.
Again, the reactor does do what they say it was designed to do but as some here would say, just adding clean water is always the best idea - just wish my tap allowed that.
I guess a R/O unit would have been a better buy (similar in initial cost) but at the time, I figured the replacement R/O canisters made the reactor 'lower cost'. So, except for the alcohol feeding of the unit, long-term costs are zero but one must monitor the unit carefully.
So even good logic can, when there are no reviews at least, create a very bad result (combined with stubbornness (really, TWO "n's" in that word! The old time Monks sitting in their towers writing those loong books really were strange in their approch to spelling ideas when creating English – that word just looks weird with two "n's") ... such a mind-set is a bad mix with keeping discus.)

Nice read there.
When I was into saltwater, right at the end I made my own reactor ,a Calcium one ,but never got around to hooking it up.
Not hard to make yourself, but as yours is something different and on a Fresh water tank that is wild, so any name given of this bad design?
Sometimes we see and can make things better then the ones that do it for a living.
I have been experimenting with large DIY type reactors and sulfur reactors so I understand how annoying they can be! The latest reactor I am messing with is the Dr. Tim's pearls.
Would you be willing to PM which reactor you bought?300g + 240g in wall build! - Follow Here

Haiti: Late rainfall increases food insecurity
The late arrival of the rainy season in some areas of Haiti is likely to affect food production from the spring harvest season and thus the overall food security situation.
According to the latest OCHA Humanitarian Bulletin, the rains - which generally come by the end of March - did not begin until the middle of April in departments including Sud-Est, Nord-Est, Ouest, and Nord-Ouest. The harvest of spring crops, which typically provides 60% of the annual agricultural production, is expected to be below average, according to the Famine Early Warning System Network (FEWS NET).
Recent rains have helped farming but also triggered outbreaks of malaria and cholera. It, in turn, will affect the food security situation because people have to spend more on healthcare.
With dwindling supplies of locally grown crops, there has been a 9.5% increase in food prices (except rice), coupled with a continued rise of inflation rate on the local market since October 2010. Some low income families, whose purchasing power is declining, have been reducing their number of daily meals, food portions, and diversity in their diet. Poor families living in camps are expected to face moderate to severe levels of food insecurity during June and July.
Food partners are now supporting the most vulnerable people through income generating programmes such as Cash-for-Work and Food-for-Work. WFP has initiated a cash transfer project for some 10,000 families.
Hot meals are provided in schools through a national school canteen programme, while nutritional supplements are also being given to children under the age of 5, pregnant and lactating women, and people living with HIV/Tuberculosis.
Isolated pockets of high malnutrition have also been reported in Grande-Anse department. An inter-agency assessment mission was organized by nutrition partner agencies including UNICEF, WFP and MDM-F, the Ministry of Public Health and local authorities to assess response capacity and see how they can better deal with malnutrition cases in remote areas like Moron. They recommended increasing screening people for malnutrition at least once a month during the cyclone season, expanding geographical coverage of nutrition services, and starting blanket supplementary feeding for smaller children and breast-feeding women, alongside routine food distribution. These efforts aim to complement longer-term food security solutions by FAO and other partners.

| It should be no surprise that a tea-based drink is the healthiest option; it's made with the Winter Dream Tea, vanilla powder, and steamed milk. A 16-ounce Winter Dream Tea Latte is 280 calories, with 7 grams of fat and 48 grams of sugar. Coffee lovers, don't fret: if you're looking for a cup of coffee, the Gingerbread Cookie Latte is your next best bet: a 16-ounce has 370 calories, with 3.5 grams of fat and 68 grams of sugar.

| It's the same story over and over again: the iced, blended drinks are what will bust your diet, and fast. So Californians, beware of the iced blended drinks on the holiday menu: the Peppermint Vanilla Ice Blended drink has 480 calories, with 10 grams of fat and 81 grams of sugar. Similarly, the Gingerbread Cookie Ice Blended Drink on the menu is close behind: 480 calories, with 9 grams of fat and 91 grams of sugar. Good thing The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf offers no sugar added (NSA) chocolate and vanilla powders to dramatically cut back on the calories, sugar, and fat — a 16-ounce Peppermint Vanilla Ice Blended drink is only 260 calories, with ½ gram of fat and 36 grams of sugar.

| A medium-sized eggnog latte at Peet's has a whopping 650 calories, with 29 grams of fat and — get this — 75 grams of sugar. We don't need to explain this to you. But the cinnamon gingerbread latte, a blend of espresso, steamed milk, gingerbread spice, and ground cinnamon, isn't as much of a diet-buster. It's a mere 339 calories and 12 grams of fat for a medium-sized drink with whole milk; if you go for a small with fat-free milk, your drink is only 167 calories with 0 grams of fat.

| It's saying something when the eggnog-based drink is in fact the drink with the least amount of calories. A medium-sized, with whip, Fa La Latte is still 440 calories with 22 grams of fat, but that's an indulgence we can go for compared to its caramel sisters. Order a small with nonfat whipped cream, and you'll cut nearly 200 calories and 13 grams of fat.

| Oh goodness: the cutest name for the fattiest drink on our list. If you were to get the whole milk, with whip, medium sized of this drink, you are consuming 850 calories, 56 grams of fat, and 66 grams of sugar. In comparison, you could eat two McDouble's and still come in at less than 800 calories. If you are determined to splurge on this treat, please get a small, skim milk, no-whip version: you'll cash in at 480 calories, but at least that's on its way down from 850.

| There is hope after all: the killer drinks at Starbucks and Dunkin' Donuts are surprisingly better for you than its egg nog shake/ partner-in-crime. A small McCafé Peppermint Mocha is 300 calories — but you should know that includes 12 grams of fat (a cheeseburger at McD's has the same amount of fat.) If you go for a small nonfat peppermint mocha with no whipped cream and no chocolate drizzle, you'll cut back to 160 calories and only ½ gram of fat.

| Yeah, did you really think there was a way to make the Egg Nog Shake healthy? We wish we had magical powers to zap the fat out of your favorite McD's treat, but no can do: vanilla reduced-fat ice cream, egg nog syrup, whipped cream, and a maraschino cherry make that nearly impossible. A medium-sized shake is 680 calories: to put that in perspective, a Quarter Pounder with Cheese is 750 calories — so add on a Kid's Fries to that shake and you're about equal to that burger. A small with no whipped cream or cherry is 460 calories, so the equivalent of the Premium Grilled Club Sandwich at McD's. Of course, a shake isn't really a holiday coffee beverage, but we looked at the holiday coffees, too. The McCafé Caramel Hot Chocolate will still do a number on your waistline: 350 calories for a medium, whole-milk beverage. It's the toppings that really do you in: whipped cream, caramel drizzle, and chocolate caramel syrup.

|At 310 calories for a medium-sized drink with whole milk, you're without the added calories of a Peppermint Mocha. But even then, it still has 9 grams of fat. It's best to get a small Gingerbread coffee with no sugar and cream; it's only 90 calories. Moral of the story: Stick to the coffees at Dunkin' if you want a holiday treat, and skip the lattes. (Like those iced ones next to the Gingerbread Latte.)

This is a more cost effective process to resurfacing as the original asphalt is kept intact and doesn't need to be cut and lifted out. This overlay process however can only be achieved if the original surface is reasonably intact to get the best life possible out of an asphalt overlay.Read more...
To relay an asphalt surface, the old layer first needs to be removed. This is probably the most labour intensive task of the entire operation. Specialist machinery can help however, and it's common to have one team dismantling the old surface, while a second team begins laying the new road behind. This technique allows entire roads to be resurfaced very quickly.

any plans for this weekend SCH?
That last pic is pretty sweet, I'll give you that.
THE three best footballers in the world - Lionel Messi, Andres Iniesta and Xavi Hernandez - took time out from training at Celtic Park tonight to pass on their best wishes to Celtic on this, the 125th anniversary of the club´s formation.
THE three best footballers in the world - Lionel Messi, Andres Iniesta and Xavi Hernandez -
Sky Sports is reporting that Lennon threatened to quit while arguing with a fan after the Bhoys lost to Inverness earlier.
@joe16led You're just jealous because my new SheepSkin coat is one of your old girlfriends #broonybanter
Today, I am diverting slightly from the main theme of this blog, but the circumstances may just allow such diversion. Celtic have just progressed into the 'knock-out' stages of the Champions League? and this is indeed a great achievement, taking into consideration, at the same time, all the surrounding circumstances. All players have helped a lot and in a team effort, everyone is important. There is, however, one player, that deserves to be mentioned separately and extensively: Georgios Samaras.
Georgios is now nearing his fifth year at Celtic Park. He has been an integral part of the team, for many different reasons. His sporting abilities cannot be questioned. He is a great football player, with great technique and skills, stamina and strength. These elements have been recognised by all his managers and many of his fans around the world. But athletic ability only does not always offer completeness in a player. The mental strength, the attitude, the character and the human element in a player's nature, all contribute, in my opinion, towards the overall performance on the pitch.
Football players are human beings like everybody else. They are subject to the same feelings as everybody else. They have to deal with enormous stress, which does not always derive just from the Media or the fans, but, sometimes, even from within the club they play for. Expectations are high, at this level and sometimes such expectations are short lived. The players' remuneration, some would argue, does not justify a weak character, or any latitude for errors or omissions. True, but if the player is weak inside, his football would suffer on the pitch.??
There is no doubt as to why Georgios has been successful with Celtic. First of all, Georgios has people around him that he could trust. He always listens to what it is being said and respects people's opinions. He is well-mannered, discreet and well liked amongst his fellow colleagues at Celtic. He commands respect, because he respects everybody. He treats everybody the same and he never asks for anything in return. He has a golden heart and cares about his cause. This last element is something that you cannot identify very often in a player's character. Georgios cares about Celtic and what the club stands for. And this is something that it could not be replaced with any contract or any remuneration.
Georgios is part of Celtic, its history, the city of Glasgow and the sporting ideals this great club represents. He is part of the community and his love for the club and its fans is unconditional and genuine. Georgios, in my view, represents Celtic, because Georgios knows and understands what Celtic Football Club is about. Georgios is a true Celt....

West Village
323 Avenue of the Americas New York, NY 10014
Subway: A/B/C/D/E/F/M to W 4th St., 1 to Christopher St.
This special primetime screening is co-presented with Firelight Media & The Black Documentary Collective and features a Q&A with director Pete Nicks and sSpecial quests Eric Morgan and Asia Cyganik, who are both
featured in the film, will be joining him.
The Waiting Room (Peter Nicks | USA | 80 min.)
The American medical system is in tatters, and political arguments often overlook the most fundamental element: human beings' health. Director Peter Nicks knew the problems would be most evident, the drama most poignant, in one place: a low-income, urgent care waiting room. This elegantly crafted documentary has an intimate approach that reveals the myriad systematic failures in a way that is compelling and personal. You can't watch The Waiting Room and still ignore the call for change. Working with The Fledging Fund, the Center for Health Media Policy, and the film's own interactive website, Rooftop Films is pleased to present this event committed to positive health care activism.
Opponents of federal health care would have us believe that hospital workers are incompetent, callous bureaucrats, that patients are lazy freeloaders—but that's clearly not the case. The doctors make heroic efforts with limited resources, displaying remarkable bedside manners. The staff stand up for their most destitute constituents. The patients suffer and struggle, carrying burdens that could befall anyone. One man with a bullet lodged in his leg waits for hours, praying not that his pain is taken away, but his anger.
Nicks uses carefully interwoven voice-overs to provide context, while the film absorbs you in the action: the intensity of a doctor on his first day dealing with a deadly accident; the complexity of the staff negotiating the churn of beds overflowing into hallways; the unlikely humor of a nurse who consistently entertains and keeps everyone sane. As stressful as the situation is, for the viewer it's wondrous to watch remarkable people acting nobly. The Waiting Room is an astonishing work of cinema that America needs to see, a clear expression of the dire problems and the hopeful possibilities.

During his brief 15 year career he invented an original style based on poetic suggestiveness, evoking a mood rather than a clear narrative. He often painted small canvases for private use with moody and dramatic landscapes playing an important role in his compositions. His hauntingly beautiful paintings were a great inspiration to Titian the dominant artist of 16th Century Venice.

Eh up
Just been to Memorabilia 2002 and had such a good time I have added a page to my web site.
Haven't added celebrity/BC3 photo's yet (digicam still knackered so have to wait 'til photos developed on Tues/Wed).
Will update site midweek when I have scanned in pics.
Also bagged an oddity - apparently micro machine figure push pins.
Will re-post when page complete with pics (the current gaps are where the pics will go)

By Robbie Ward/NEMS Daily Journal
TUPELO – From updating Tupelo's development code to formalizing a key part of the West Jackson Street revitalization project and making key appointments, Mayor Jack Reed Jr. and the Tupelo City Council show no sign of slowing down as the current administration enters its final days.
Reed and the city council have a full plate of the city's business heading into today's council meeting, the last scheduled before the new mayor and council take office July 1.
Ward 2 councilman Fred Pitts, council president during each of his four years in office, said the administration will leave office handling important matters, just like throughout the term.
Pitts said the current group of council members have the knowledge and insight gained through many work sessions to make them the most qualified to decide whether to approve the proposed development code, aimed at giving flexibility to commercial and residential regulations and rules; and approving an agreement to allow the nonprofit Neighborhood Development Corp. to have a lead role in the residential redevelopment project in the West Jackson Street area.
Many council members have attended weeks of work sessions and will make final decisions on key city policy at this evening's final council meeting. Pitts said this group has kept a heavy load throughout the term and has no plans to stop until it ends.
"That's the way this council has been," he said. "We're going to go out like a lion."
The council also likely willrecommend Waste Management as the preferred vendor for a six-year contract for trash and recycling pickup. Selecting from among three companies for the lucrative city contract, council members decided to stick with Waste Management, which has had the city contract for waste pickup for decades.
Ward 6 councilman Mike Bryan, who did not attend Monday's agenda review, has not said whether he will vote on the trash pickup contract. He accepted a $250 political contribution from Waste Management earlier this year.
As part of Reed's efforts for a smooth mayoral transition, he invited Mayor-elect Jason Shelton to Monday's meeting. Reed did not seek re-election, while Shelton defeated Pitts in the June 4 mayoral election. Lynn Bryan, who will replace Pitts representing Ward 2 on the council, also attended.
As Reed ends his term, he won't leave many vacant positions on city commissions, authorities and committees. He will appoint or reappoint seven positions today.
Only two committee vacancies will remain – one on the Oren Dunn Museum Advisory Board and another on the mayor's quality of life task force, a vacancy Shelton will create when he moves to the mayor's office.
"I'll let him handle that one," Reed said.

Fifteen Cupcakes
I had FIFTEEN cupcakes within an hour last night.
Fifteen of my Tablespoon Cupcakes. Tiny, adorable little cupcakes. I found a bunch of tiny little paper cups for chocolates when I was cleaning out the pantry, so I decided to bake some tiny little cupcakes. Each little cupcake is just one tablespoon of cake batter. Aren't they cute?
Wouldn't these look great for a wedding reception or baby shower, perched on lovely vintage spoons?
(if you haven't yet, you still have time to enter my Dewdrop Handmade giveaway here).

Those cupcakes are amazing! Did you just bake them on a pan, or do you have teeny-tiny little cupcake trays?

LOL! when i first started reading this and i read that you had eaten 15 cupcakes i honestly stopped and thought about that for a minute trying to figure out how someone could eat 15 whole cupcakes.

they are so cute! did you use a tiny cupcake baking pan? or just put a tablespoon of batter into the cups??
- July 16, 2009 at 11:31 AM
- Ashley Yazzie said...
D, the micro-cakes are inspired. I think you're right; for parties or showers these would be inspired. I'm really into tea and cakes, so these little sprites would be perfect for an afternoon tea time. They look totally professional, I think I may need a tutorial.

these are so cute. And I can't get over how beautiful your photographs are!
As for posting my "Get out and explore LA blogs" sooner... sigh. I know, I know... but you can live vicariously through me, and if you ever come back and visit LA, now you have a ton of stuff to do since I'm making this one of my regular posts. :)

Aw! Those are so cute! My sister Grace is right next to me and she goes "Those are really cute! I want them"
They would look adorable for a wedding reception or baby shower.

Now I'm craving those cupcakes...the frosting looks so glossy. Grace wants me to let you know that the pink one looks the best. (Pink's her favorite color.)

I have a teeny tiny cupcake tin, and love it. I feel far less guilty about having a cupcake when it's a mere bite! They always go over well at parties too, since they're the perfect sweet finger food. These look scrumptious!

Those itty bitty cupcakes are so cute! What is your icing/topping? Adorable!
- July 16, 2009 at 2:15 PM
- Dionne said...
It's just regular vanilla frosting (icing sugar, cream, butter, vanilla, food coloring).
But my secret tips to make it have that gloss are:
1. corn syrup!
2. after you've iced the cupcakes, run hot water over your spoon and smooth out the icing (but just a tiny bit so the icing doesn't get all runny). This makes the icing melt a little bit and gives it an extra-glossy sheen!

View of South Wheal Francis showing the impressive Marriott's engine houses. My third Gigapan today on this site. The wind was causing the camera to shake quite a bit but the photograph has come out quite well.
A view from within Marriotts boiler house looking towards the pumping engine house.
This shot is of Marriotts Engine House at South Wheal Francis near Camborne in Cornwall. These are of set of very impressive building that have been preserved as part of The Great Flat Lode Heritage Trail. This is my first Gigapan, it was taken on a bright sunny morning but it was quite windy so there was some camera...

Perirenal abscess is a pocket of pus caused by an infection around one or both kidneys.
Perinephric abscess
Most perirenal abscesses are caused by urinary tract infections that start in the bladder, spread to the kidney, and then spread to the area around the kidney. Surgery in the urinary tract or reproductive system and a bloodstream infection can also lead to a perirenal abscess.
The biggest risk factor for perirenal abscess is kidney stones that block the flow of urine and provide a place for an infection to grow. Bacteria tend to stick to the stones and antibiotics can't kill the bacteria there.
Stones are found in 20 - 60% of patients with perirenal abscess. Other risk factors for perirenal abscess include:
Symptoms of perirenal abscess include:
The doctor or nurse will examine you. You may have tenderness in the back or abdomen.
Tests include:
To treat perirenal abscess, the pus can be drained through a catheter that is placed through the skin or with surgery. Antibiotics should also be given, at first through a vein (IV).
In general, quick diagnosis and treatment of perirenal abscess should lead to a good outcome. Kidney stones must be treated to avoid further infections.
In rare cases, the infection can spread beyond the kidney area and into the bloodstream, which can be deadly.
If you have kidney stones, the infection may not go away.
Call your health care provider if you have a history of kidney stones and develop:
If you have kidney stones, ask your doctor about the best way to treat them to avoid a perirenal abscess. If you undergo urologic surgery, keep the surgical area as clean as possible.

Evercore Partners's Mark McKechnie today reiterates an Overweight rating on shares of Ericsson (ERIC), and a $15 price target, after the company yesterday said that China Mobile (CHL) had approved for use on its network the company's "thin modem," a wireless chip for LTE broadband connections in smartphones.
That won't make a dent, probably, in dominance of the LTE chip market by Qualcomm (QCOM), whose shares he also rates Overweight, but it might help Ericsson to finally recoup some of the enormous spending it continues to make to develop such chips:
We note several reasons to take the ERIC win seriously including: 1) ERIC's spending effort, 2) a strong IPR profile, and 3) ERIC's infrastructure footprint which likely aids in the leading-edge testing of the products [...] ERIC and ST-Ericsson have been spending ~ SEK 500M / qtr for over 5 years in attempt to break into the competitive 3G/4G modem space with little results to date [...] We have lumped in ~ SEK 500M of opex for ERIC's thin modems through CY15 and beyond, with no meaningful revenues expected. No change to our estimates now, but if we assume 20M units (~ 1% market share) at ~ $13 (LTE ASPs about 3x 2G/3G prices) to ERIC at 40% gross margins, we calculate SEK 1.7B in sales & SEK 670M of gross profit dollars, resulting in a lower "drag" for ERIC corporate thus an incremental ~ $0.02-$0.03 (SEK 0.13-0.20) vs. our $0.78 forecast for CY15, with no change to our $1.10 LT EPS power forecast.
500 million Krona is equal to about $76 million at current rates.
McKechnie notes that the product still lags offerings from Qualcomm and others:
ERIC's release claims a smaller footprint, lower power drain, and 5-mode support for its M7450 product. The product faces stiff competition in thin modems from QCOM (the 9×15/9×25), MediaTek (2454TW) (MT6290 – Q2'14), Broadcom (BRCM), Intel (INTC), Marvell Technology Group (MRVL) and [Spreadtrum] SPRD/RDA (taken private in China). Bigger picture, we'd see the emergence of a new thin-modem play as positive on the margin for stand-alone apps-processor plays (NVDA, INTC) but absent a major win with AAPL, Samsung or in the notebook/tablet space, we see limited participation in mass market phones, which we expect to go the integrated Apps Processor/Modem/graphics processor route. For reference, Gartner expects the stand-alone thin modem market to decline from ~ 1.1B units in CY14 to 770M by CY17 or from 54% of total units to 33%.
Perhaps, he writes, Ericsson can participate in other markets around the world, though it still has a long way to go to break even on the chips:
Equally interesting to the domestic Chinese vendors is the broader global market of 1.8B total smart phones and longer term 10B+ M2M devices. We are paying closer attention to ERIC's progress in certification with a major US or European operator for upside to our 20M high-end estimate. For reference, ERIC would need to ship ~ 50M phones at a $13 ASP and 45% gross margins at its current R&D run rate to break even in the thin modem group.

Entry one
Found MartBrooks's diary here, wanted to have one as well. A friend of mine, perhaps biggest fucker there is, said that our company will be closed next week. Cool! Actually not, or maybe yes. See, i have expirience with ISPMan a ISP management panel and backed, while i worked (presently am) in InterBaltika. The guy, Atif, who is a nice chap and kind of friend of mine, made this software. And the ,biggest fucker aka Andris, also my good friend, happened to be a manager (actually he runs that) on a project for a local telecom's ISP part, Apollo. So this project involves building a DNS/WWW/MAIL/NEWS/something else, can't remember now. System. So most likley i will participate in that, at least in test lab building.
A little sidenot to those who don't know. I am 16 years old, and i go to school. So even with my m4d sk1llz in *nix, i can't find a good job, because i must work after school.
Now, back to that project. Anyhow, he said that i will get paid as well. Cool! It won't be BigBucks[tm], but since i will, with high probability, loose a job, it's money! So, I *really hope*, that Atif will manage to agree with Andris.
I'm having some problems here. Notably with chemistry, French, maybe something else. French is a separate story, will tell once. Off for today.

Are the Alfa 209 primer pistols dependable?
Are the Alfa 209 primer pistols dependable?
Mine has been for the several years since they came out.
Later edit:
I made a mistake. I was thinking Gun X but you wrote Alpha. I have had two Alpha pistols and they both died after about a brick of primers went through them.
I was talking above about the Gun X. It has been reliable. Alpha not.

You really gotta be careful about how high a pedestal you put your method, your accomplishments, your dog on. There's usually someone who's done more, somewhere. And they may have used a different method than you did! Chris Atkinson 2013
get your dog out and TRAIN! caryalsobrook 2013
I don't know where I heard it, but, it was something like, "It seems that if we each use our own blank pistol everything works fine. If a gun is left at a station for all to use it breaks."
I think it's true.
I've heard various comments on Alphas, a couple friends "used" to have them.
If you're buying a gun save some headaches and buy a GunX.

"If you run Field Trials, you learn to swallow your disappointment quickly."
"Field trials are not a game for good dogs. They're for great dogs with great training." E. Graham
I've seen a Gunx that wasn't ever cleaned misfire terribly in the field as well. Alfa is a good product as long as it's maintained, but it has to be maintained. No different than any other gun.
Darrin Greene
I bought mine shortly after they came out with them and it had been very reliable until just a couple weeks ago. Now I am getting failure to fire, cylinder won't rotate, cylinder locks up and won't release. I am still troubleshooting it so hopefully I will be able to get it working again. Deb Anderson
I much prefer the GunX.
David Didier, GA
I have both an Alpha and a GunX. Have had to have both repaired. GunX did it for the price of shipping. The Alpha cost as I had to have a local gunsmith repair it and he was not really confident that it would stay repaired. I use it as a back up. The comment about others using your gun certainly is appropriate.
The Alpha is poorly made in comparison to GunX. The design of the Alpha is such that when fired, the burnt powder is chanelled in a way that will cause clogging if not cleaned regularly which is not the case with Gun X. Also, the mechanism and quality of the metal is inferior to Gun X.
The Gun X is a simpler design, better quality metal and less prone to failure.
If I/we/you can't continue to advance our methods that focus on making training easier to learn/less painful for the dogs, we have no right to be training them. (Alec Sparks)

I saw MIB II for the first time last night on TNT. I actually forgot they made a sequel for it. It wasn't bad, but it never distinguished itself much from the first one.
Also, I bought Krystof Keislowski's Tricolor Trilogy, Blue, White, and Red on DVD off of E-Bay. Even though these are foreign films, these are hot fudge sundaes for your eyes and are great movies for those who are interested in the craft of movie-making. Juliette Binoche, and Julie Delpy are two of the recognizable actors from the series. Very worthwhile to view.

I watched Children of Men yesterday afternoon. Pretty decent movie. A good what if this ever happened type thing. Clive Owen gives a good performance as does Michael Caine and the short appearanced Julianne Moore. I would recommend watching it.
Also caught Shawshank Redemtion on Max last night. An oldie, but with out a doubt a goodie. Every time I watch it, I find it hard to believe its a King Short story(because its non horror, but then again, Different Seasons really wasnt a horror oriented book)

Watched The Exorcism of Emily Rose a couple nights ago. As I said in the 'Best Horror movies' thread (reason I watched it), this is one of the better horror/possession/satan movies out there. I like the approach they took to this movie, on trial, flashing back to Emily while telling her story; it was a tad different for a horror movie, but it worked extremely well. Lots of really freaky, creepy parts in this movie; some scenes are actually really scary, which is difficult to find in horror movies these days (usually its just a lot of gore). If you enjoyed The Exorcist, horror movies in general, or just want to watch a quality (horror) flick, this one comes highly recommended.
I've also watched the first disc of the 30 Rock dvd set and started the second disc last night. I've heard good things about this show so I decided I'd catch up on it before the second season airs (and my brother is forcing me to watch it). The first few shows were a little slow, still funny. The past several episodes that I've watched have been really funny. Alec Bladwin is just outstanding. Tina Fey does a good job as does Tracy Morgan. This is a pretty good show thus far and I'm glad I decided to give it a go.

I also continued my Bond marathon.
"For Your Eyes Only"- A terrific film and one of the better Bonds- Rating ***1/2 out of ****
"Octo*****"- too long, too confusing, and too bad. I did LOVE Q's line at the end of the film though. Other than that, not a good flick- Rating ** out of ****
"A View to Kill"- Although Moore does show his age a tad in this one, it's still a fun flick with lots of great action scenes and a great Christopher Walken as the over the top Max Zorin. I really enjoyed it. Rating- *** out of ****
That's it for the Moore Era. Bring on the Timothy Dalton era.....all two films of it.

"Woke up at 9.55am. Soon as I woke up, I looked at Suzanne and she looked at me. I said, 'Did I tell you about the immune system?' Suzanne starting laughing, I said, 'it's amazing.' She said, 'Not now.'"
Octo***** I wasn't too enthralled with either. The whole clown sequence put 007 down a few notches on what I envisioned him as.
AVTK has to be the worst Moore era Bond movie. I think Bond was in his mid to late 50s when the movie was made. His stunt doubles got more screen time than Roger did. Still, Moore was charasmatic in that flick, and he never lost his wit or sense of humor. Stacy on the other hand, has to be one of the worst Bond girls to date. She sounded like Anna Nicole Smith when she had to deliver some technical lines regarding the underground fault around the Bay Area. And the way she was always put in danger having to be rescued made you loathe her.
Enjoy the Dalton era JMG. I think you'll like the Living Daylights and maybe License to Kill.

As far as Bond girls go, do you recall that blond gal from "Man with the Golden Gun?" She was by far the most useless girl, ever. It was like jar jar with breasts. At least Stacy was psuedo productive in the flick.
And i'm lookin' forward to the Dalton era. Only six more films and then topping it with with a seventh flick with another viewing of "Casino Royale." Then I can put this six month Bond marathon to rest.
"Woke up at 9.55am. Soon as I woke up, I looked at Suzanne and she looked at me. I said, 'Did I tell you about the immune system?' Suzanne starting laughing, I said, 'it's amazing.' She said, 'Not now.'"
And Moonraker is certainly one of the worst Bond entries, with its local cable channel special effects and bizarre plot, but up until Bond landed in Brazil, I thought the movie was solid. Diamonds Are Forever gets my nod for the most horrid entry.
Enjoy the rest of your viewing.

Day 6 Part 2 - State Fair Blog done (Sponsor's Name Here)-style
After arriving home at work, changing clothes and parking the 11th car (and last) on our property by 6:00 PM, My-Sugar-Na walked to the State Fair. I knew it was Crazy Grazin' day, and I knew my wife had some stuff she had wanted to try.
What I didn't realize is that she had a map printed out, plotted with the foodstuffs that she was interested in trying. It was so cute, excited almost like (a) a school kid whose never been to Great America, or (b) the anti-Nicolas Cage in those dumb National Treasure movies.
I've decided to critique the items that we chose to try. (My qualifications? I am 300 pounds. Now keep reading.) Keep in mind that for the most part, my wife chose what we were eating (although I did call a few audibles). Also, I know that yesterday was a high calorie, hig fat romp through the Fair. Finally, I did NOT have the stuff I normally enjoy (Charlie's Italian Sausage, a cream puff, a Rupena's Hungarian Griller, etc). Everything that we ate was from the Crazy Grazin' list. Here goes...
- Chimichanga from Fiesta Garribaldi ($1.50) - I have been a big fan of Fiesta Garribaldi since they opened their first location about ten years ago on 84th & Morgan. I had the steak chimi, while My-Sugar-Na had the chicken. This first item I had was by far the best thing I had at the Fair yesterday. It wasn't particularly large, but it was loaded with cheese and meat, served with a little too big dollop of sour cream and choice of green or red sauce. My wife wasn't as impressed as she is not a fan of peppers, and she detected too many in hers. Not knowing that this was the best thing I would eat, I headed to the next stand with anticipation.
- Andoullie Sausage Jambalaya from Thunder Bay Grille ($2.00) - This is probably the second best thing I ate at the Fair (notice this trend? It continues). I am not a big fan of creole food (not enough cheese!) but this was pretty good. The rice was moist, the sausage had a good snap, and the portion seemed fair for two bucks. My wife did not try this item.
- Apple Strudel from Cafe Innsbruck ($1.50) - This was pretty good. It seemed quite odd being in the Cream Puff Pavillion and NOT having a cream puff, but the strudel was warm and the pastry flaky, telling me it was pretty fresh. Both my wife and I enjoyed this dessert along with...
- Root Beer Float from Got Milk? Double K Dairy ($2.50) - We were both disappointed with this... which is tricky because it is hard to screw up a root beer float, right? I understand that the discounted Grazin' prices are intended for smaller portions, but this portion was too small for the money. We got a 12 oz cup with a small scoop of ice cream that melted instantly as the warm root beer was added.
- Half order of Onion Rings from Miss Katie's Diner ($3.25) - It was right around this point in which both My-Sugar-Na and I realized we hadn't actually enjoyed the Fair, and we are just cramming food on top of food. The onion rings were pretty good, but plopping fried food on top of apple strudel and a root beer float did nothing the make our stomachs happy. We did take that opportunity, though, to sit on the Pitch's patio to eat the onion rings. They had a two man band playing (a keyboardist and a drummer), and exactly one not-quite-senior-but-past-middle-aged couple was dancing. The musicians may have been competent, but they were bantering with this dancing couple in between songs (like a news anchor and a weatherman), with about 14 other people looking on. The musicians (two players isn't a band, is it?) started Proud Mary, and this couple broke out into the "Eddie Murphy as White People Dancing" dance. It was painful. It was sad. And we couldn't look away. You know what would have been better entertainment as we sat on the patio eating our onion rings while the family behind us was eating their chicken dinner and the couple sitting at the bar was making googley eyes at each other? Nothing. I am not quite sure why these restaurants bother with live music. This isn't Summerfest, and the din of bad music playing is usually more annoying than it is enjoyable.
- Frozen Banana from Sidewalk Sundaes ($3.00) - I did not have this as I am not as into sweets as my wife is. It looked like a frozen banana, dipped in chocolate, with some sprinkles sprinkled. My wife did report that it was very cold.
- Mini Cinnimon Roll from Gramma Honey's Cinnimon Rolls ($2.00) - I did not have this item, either, as I went to the stand next door (see right below). My wife reported that it was good, but she was just about done with sweets.
- Half Reuben Sandwich from Krautland ($3.00) - Its not Jake's, or Benji's for that matter. It was packaged corned beef with some sauerkraut and cheese, heated in a panini grill. It tasted OK, I guess, but the bread was mushy as if it had been made a while earlier. My disappointment with the food was increasing.
- Fresh Lemonade from Crutchee's ($3.00) - I don't know what the regular price is (so I don't know if this was a deal or not), but this was a 12 oz cup, and it hit the spot. It was cold, sour, but sweet, too. Very nice.
- BBQ Chicken from Mike Murphy's Swingin' Door ($4.00) - Not so sure who Mike Murphy is, but he makes the absolute worst chicken sandwich on the planet... or at least that the wife and I have tasted. The chicken wasn't identifiable as food. It was ground so far down that it was the size of cous cous, with an overwhelming amount of grocery store barbeque sauce on a standard issue hamburger bun. My-Sugar-Na had bought this (I didn't want one) took one bite and turned up her nose and was about to throw it out. In the "You Don't Waste Food" department, I took it upon myself to finish this disaster... I took big bites so I could try to taste as little as possible. Didn't work. 12 hours and two teeth brushings later, that taste is still there. But as I am choking down this horrible sandwich, I looked at the table to my left and saw a teenage couple eating... Subway. A sandwich you can get from just about every strip mall in Milwaukee. I know that not everybody defines their life by food, and there is the thought (my ex-wife was in this category) that you can't go wrong with a chain restaurant because it is a safe choice (you know what you're getting). But how can this society have fallen so far that the hundreds and hundreds of food choices from local restaurants (like Saz or the Charcoal Grill) and from vendors that cart their little stand from State Fair to State Fair are eschewed for a sandwich at Subway? You know what, at that place in time, my barbeque sauce and cous cous sandwich was STILL a better option than having a sub fron Subway. I don't know if my wife was upset about this her chicken sandwich, if she was getting full (I know I was), if she was tired of me complaining about the Subway couple, or if it was the developing migraine, but her Fair enjoyment was just about over. We headed to the exits, but not before the one thing that I saw on the Crazy Grazin' Days flier that I really wanted to try...
- Mini Brat Corn Dogs from Saz's ($2.50) - If My-Sugar-Na's BBQ Chicken sandwich ruined her grazin, this item did it for me. I was so looking forward to this and it kind of intentionally was last on the list. But the order given to be was horrible. Maybe if I had them two hours earlier (when they had apparently been cooked) it woundn't have been so bad. They corned batter was hard, and when I bit into it, it disintegrated, leaving a lukewarm, shriveled, tough piece of bratwurst. And I had five of these things to make it through. The BBQ chicken was a disaster- it was what it was. But this had so much potential, and if I had gotten some right out of the fryer and the bratwurst was hot and juicy, this could have been a wonderful conclusion to my grazin'. Instead, I got to eat possibly the two worst Fair items I have ever had within about 15 minutes of each other.
After the brat corn dogs, we began our walk home. Overall, we had some good eats... and the stomach ache to prove it. Although it seems like we ate a lot, the portions were reasonably sized and we shared some, so it wasn't a matter of overeating. I'm sure it was just the combinations.
Luckily, we have four more tickets, and My-Sugar-Na and I plan on using two on Sunday evening to actually enjoy the Fair... look at the animals, walk through the Expo Center, etc. And to avoid Mike Murphy at all costs.

Announce: new features available with Savane
Item posted by Mathieu Roy <yeupou> on Fri Sep 22 15:43:22 2006.
Gna! runs Savane prelease of the version 2.0.
You probably already noticed some major interface changes. For instance, now the option boxes like "Display Criteria" are minimized by default, to make some room on the screen. And, most notably, the old top menu changed to a menu with dropdown submenus, enabling you to go more easily from one page to another. If these submenus do not work for your browser (stone age konqueror version, like 3.0.0, from 2002, will not be able to make it work), you have to activate the Stone Age Menu, in My Account Conf, a menu that behaves more or less like the older one.
Among cosmetics changes, bugfixes, and interface improvements, there are three new features that address frequent requests:
- it is now possible to reset a mailman list admin password (recipe #221)
- closed item are clearly marked as such (in title, comment and original submission)
- it is possible to delete a user account when no longer participating to any project
Savane 2.0 will be released by the end of the month, please report any bugs found as soon as possible so fixes can make it into the release.

Vitamins are a group of substances that are essential for normal cell function, growth, and development.
There are 13 essential vitamins, meaning they are needed for the body to function. They are:
Vitamins are grouped into two categories:
Each of the vitamins listed below has an important job in the body. A vitamin deficiency occurs when you do not get enough of a certain vitamin. Vitamin deficiency can cause health problems.
Not eating enough fruits, vegetables, beans, lentils, whole grains and fortified dairy foods may increase your risk for health problems, including heart disease, cancer, and poor bone health (osteoporosis).
Vitamin A:
Vitamin D:
Vitamin E:
Vitamin K:
Niacin (vitamin B3):
Pantothenic acid:
Thiamine (vitamin B1):
Pyroxidine (vitamin B6):
Vitamin B12:
NOTE: Animal sources of vitamin B13 are absorbed much better by the body than plant sources
Vitamin C (ascorbic acid):
Many people think that if some is good, a lot is better. This is not always the case. High doses of certain vitamins can be poisonous. Ask your doctor what is best for you.
The Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDAs) for vitamins reflect how much of each vitamin most people should get each day.
The best way to get all the daily vitamins you need is to eat a balanced diet that contains a wide variety of fruits, vegetables, fortified dairy foods, legumes (dried beans), lentils, and whole grains.
Dietary supplements are another way to get the vitamins you need if the food you eat is not supplying enough vitamins. Supplements can be helpful during pregnancy and for special medical problems.
If you take supplements, DO NOT take more than 100% of the RDA. Be very careful about taking large amounts of fat-soluble vitamin supplements -- vitamins A, D, E, and K. Because these vitamins are stored in fat cells, they can build up in your body and may cause harmful effects.

About Us
Developing successful entrepreneurs who know how to grow a business, harness new technologies, and seize opportunities in the marketplace is a longstanding tradition at Clarkson University. The Reh Center for Entrepreneurship, located in Clarkson's School of Business, builds on that tradition by drawing on the expertise and skills of Clarkson faculty and students to educate and train regional entrepreneurs to successfully receive and manage start-up funding and grow their companies through sound management practices.
Established in 2009 to close the gap between local entrepreneurs and economic growth funding opportunities, the Center supports Clarkson's longstanding commitment to boost regional economies through small business development. Our efforts include:
Assisting Northern New York business owners through training, skill development, and hands-on support with programs like My Small Business 101.
By offering necessary education and support and by better preparing candidates to qualify for low-interest loans, we promote the economic growth of the region and serve as a transferable model for regions across the country.
We also provide a fertile training ground for Clarkson University students, who gain firsthand experience and build management, marketing, and financial skills by working with micro-businesses and start-ups across Northern New York.
Meet our leadership, learn about our model, or support our work.
