Unique art exhibit continues in Bellvue
December 18, 2013 by Mark
The exhibition 'A World of Paper, a World of Fashion: Isabelle de Borchgrave meets Mariano Fortuny' has been showing at the Bellvue Arts Museum since November and it will run until February.
The artist creates life-sized costumes and fashions made entirely of paper and uses techniques such as braiding, feathering, and pleating to make the paper look just like fabric. In a total of six collections to date, de Borchgrave has designed outfits that represent over 500 years of the fashion industry and has been inspired by photographs, sketches, paintings and historic texts. The collection which is being showcased in Bellvue is based on the early 20th Century fashions of Mariano Fortuny. This is the North American debut for this exhibition for the artist who is based in Belgium.
This exhibit should be very interesting to those who work with paper and how it can be used to represent different things. This likely includes employees of graphic design and printing companies. The show will also no doubt attract visitors from all over the area, including nearby Issaquah, who are fans of fashion or are curious to see how real they look up close.
'A World of Paper, a World of Fashion' is taking place at the Bellvue Arts Museum until February 16. The museum is open Tuesday through Sunday. Admission is $10 for adults, $7 for seniors, students, and military personnel, and $25 for a family pass. For more information about the exhibit or the museum, call 425-519-0770.

The Obama campaign looking for French funds
|Ok so Obama (wax figure) wasn't really in Paris
Source: Chicago Tribune
If conservatives like to charge that liberals are chardonnay-sipping, France-loving elites, they've got some extra ammo today, with the Obama campaign turning directly to Francophiles for campaign cash. The Obama Victory Fund is holding a Parisian cocktail reception in a wealthy Left Bank neighborhood this evening, at the famous "Glass House," which has been called the best house in Paris.
Paris Professionals for Obama is putting on the event, which features David Simas, the campaign's director of opinion research, and asks supporters for $500 or $1,500.

I came across the fb of a guy I used to date in 2nd grade now I know you're like seriously? Lol but him & I were inseparable I'd say we "loved" each other we dated from kinder garden to 2nd grade had our first kiss in first grade, held hands, he was so sweet to me & always hung out with me in school despite other people not liking me and wanting to be his gf I still am shocked he chose me over so many other pretty girls & his mom not liking me because of my race but he didn't care he still dated me & let her know about it he even sat with me outside holding my hand waiting to be picked up by her after school crazy right? we never broke up I actually had to move to not far away but I wasn't allowed to tell anyone so that's kind of how things ended. I came across his page but he's not active I found his Instagram but same thing I did find his Kik off of his instagram but he very well may not be active but it's a chance I'll take if you guys think I should the catch is I don't know if he remembers me or even cares about me at all now not too worried about dating him since I'm not single I would like to know if you think he would date me if I wasn't dating someone though the thing is he stated he's into country girls and he also seems to be a bit of a redneck now I don't mind but I don't know if he will even like me I'm mixed but people say I just look black I'm a medium brown color I have long black hair (may not look like it but it's real & growing out of my head) 5'7 slim but a nice butt I'm 16 & he's the same maybe older, he's white blue eyed blonde hair & an older version of when he was a kid which is attractive. Again I do have a bf so my intent is to be friends but I would like to know if he'd date me again.
Most Helpful Guy
Your hair is awesome.
Yes, contact him. He'll absolutely remember you fondly. Race will be no issue. I have the redneck streak in me but I have no tolerance for racists.
I'm reminded of this first kiss:

Hyperion Financial Management
Lighter, Faster, Simpler & Portable
There has been much anticipation and speculation about this delayed platform release v184.108.40.206. Particularly so from the HFM community as Oracle had indicated major revisions to the HFM 'engine', and to set HFM free from it's Windows shackle's to be platform independent.
Which surely means that this release would be the most significant update to HFM delivered by Oracle since the 'unlimited' (won't get into the theoretical design debate here) custom dimensions feature released in 184.108.40.206.
Since the release a couple of weeks ago there has been some good technical blogs (John G covered the first look at installing the new release and the intricacies of installing on Windows 2012 Server, see: More to life than this…).
However there is no real detail out there on what has happened 'under the bonnet' for HFM.
So let's start with the highlights and take a look at the new engine and some stat's.
Firstly, there is HFM's new simplified architecture (freshly ported to Java). The objective of reworking the HFM application server components in Java, means there is no longer reliance on Windows technologies like IIS and DCOM.
Which for the first time in its existence means HFM is now "platform independent". Although for customers the choice for the moment is only between Windows servers or Oracle's own super hardware – Exalytics. Commodity Linux is not yet supported…
While the developers were tinkering around with the 'HFM engine' they did the following:
- fitted an optimised central data query engine – improving data retrieval used by the web UI, SmartView and Financial Reporting;
- replaced the database ADO driver with an ODBC driver to improve database interaction, claimed better performance with Oracle RDBMS;
- fitted new 'multi-core scaling' wizardly that ensures during consolidation up the entity hierarchy the system will use all of the hardware cores available;
- fitted 'SmartHeap' technology to improve memory allocation and reduce thrashing of heap;
- redesigned the 'CalcStatus' code, to store only used currencies, thereby reducing unnecessary storage of data and improving metadata / data loads;
- replaced 'Web-services' with 'Thrift', claimed to optimise the transfer of objects between C++ server and Java based web tier.
Some interesting statistics from Oracle product development is the following optimisations the developers managed to do compared to v184.108.40.206 code line:
- reduced number of file in HFM by 45%
- reduced libraries by 88%
- reduced total installed files by 94%
Diagram of HFM's technology stack transition:
Much like a Moto GP race machine, the developers have managed to make the 'engine' lighter, simpler, and more efficient. The result in testing by Oracle in the lab's using real client applications is claimed performance improvements of 2-5x times faster on the same hardware.
The performance claims alone are quite impressive for just an upgrade (no application optimisation), and exciting what can be achieved by moving HFM to an Exalytics box for the larger HFM clients.
The consolidation times comparison provided by Oracle is:
|184.108.40.206 (Windows)
|184.108.40.206 (Windows)
|188.8.131.52 (Exalytics X4)
|60 min
|23 min
|13 min
What is supported by what version is in Oracle's Compatibility Matrix, which is usually not the easiest to navigate if you just need to know if SmartView works with the latest MS Office.
So it's useful to know that the 184.108.40.206 release now supports:
- Browsers: Internet Explorer 9, 10, 11 and Firefox 31 ESR
- Office 2013
- Desktop: Windows 7, 8 & 8.1
Like any other dot zero release, there is going to be some quirks, and some undocumented features when we get into implementing. However in this kind of scenario, skilled HFM consultants thrive, pushing design to make the best use of the new features, but at the same time also understanding the limitations.
In the next blog I will take a look at some the new usability features in this release, and new utilities provided. Some of the new features are stated to only be included in certain patch releases (PSU's), so will examine the roadmap provided by Oracle to understand what will be available when.
Watch this space…

So, Catherine just feels deep down inside that her boyfriend Alex is cheating on her. Late nights with co-workers truly bothers her and she does not trust him.
She knows how their relationship started (similar to what he is doing now with a co-worker) so, she assumes this is happening again. She thinks this is his pattern and he is doing it again with another woman how he was with her.
She has NEVER caught Alex cheating, but she feels he is.
Listen to it all down here and listen to the ending. They truly begin fighting!

Reversals found by Reverse Speech Analyst, Shawn H. Smith
Overview: Reversals hint that Casey was involved in, or had knowledge of, the death of her daughter, Caylee, but was not the actual killer. This was a mysterious figure who she refers to as the boy or boys. They warned her against going to the police and this is probably the reason she lied to them. There is also a reference to a porn dealer which she may have held out on.
Casey – "…waste my [call sitting in oh, the the jail]." – Boys did this. Warned me against the law. This reversal shows knowledge of other people responsible for the crime who warned her against going to the police and probably explains why she lied to the police.
Investigator: – "I would have called the police immediately, and that's the part that I just don't understand…."
Casey – "I didn't [know what to do]." – Reason is the boy. This reversal gives us the reason why she didn't contact the police – the "boy" – and is consistent with the first reversal (Crosstalk) Investigator: '…We could, we got so many resources.'
Casey – "[Because I'm not sitting here] (expletive delete) crying every two seconds." – Bring in my father She wants her father.
Casey – "[Because nobody's] (expletive delete) listening to anything I'm saying." – He wouldn't take it. Meaning unclear.
Casey – "Well I mean as far as I'm concerned here I don't [really know on that level]." – Hold out on that porn dealer. This is a revealing reversal giving information that has not previously come out in this case. Who is the porn dealer that Casey held out on and what does he have to do with Caylee's murder?
Casey – "I can't think of any specifics. [I mean my days are all thrown togeth]er at least to know what the day is today…" – I did not foresee it happening. She didn't know Caylee was going to be killed.
Casey – "…because I got [arrested on a]…" – In all the terror. Speaks for itself
Casey – "(expletive delete)…ing [waste your time] coming up here." – Not this guilty She expresses the fact that she is not guilty of the crime.
Casey – "I was with officers pretty much since 9:00 o'clock last night up until today. Up until this evening [when I came up here]." – They call me shadow. Metaphor, her dark side – she is aware of what people are calling her.
Cindy Anthony – "[What do you mean it's not your fault? What do you mean] it's not your fault?" – Will you open up to me? This is straight forward.
Cindy Anthony – "I don't know what your [involvement is sweet]heart." – You've been involved. Meaning obvious
Lee Anthony – "I [think it's kind of something] new everyday." – Must not speak it. He is being quiet about something.
Police – "[What point did you stop trusting] her?" – It's a tragedy of hell. Yes it was.

(Presseportal openBroadcast) - India - Ever since the search engines have reaffirmed their love for neatly designed websites that would ease the way for users, more and more websites are becoming user friendly and offering great mobile variants. This is often the case for several sites and adult chat websites are also following suit. Leading the charge is Megaindiawebcam.com which has already announced that the site interface will be changed completely to suit mobile users and allow ease of access for other internet users. The Indian webcam services by the site have already been lauded by its users and the new development is expected to please them even further.
The new interface announcement by the site has come shortly after the massive recruitment drive launched by the site last month. At the time of that launch, the site had hinted that they will be able to change the interface of the site sometime next month. The site management has informed that there are some specific and some broad aspects that will be addressed when reshaping the website. Among the many expected developments, insiders say that the site has laid impetus on the complaints of the customers before anything else.
There has also been a steady demand in [the development arena after the site has pronounced its requirements. It has been learned that numerous major and minor web development companies have sent their quotes to Megaindiawebcam.com for considerations. Site insiders have also hinted that some freelancers have also agreed to get the site up and running. In either case, the site has confirmed that they will outsource the project in the first week of the next month.
The committee instituted by the site to look after the interface redesigning project recently held a meeting with the process. We are looking to revamp both the computer and mobile sites and we have come to a resolution on what exactly we need. We are now discussing with some of the web development firms that have applied. a representative told.

I've been quiet for a little bit because in early January I finally learned what I had done to my knee playing ultimate frisbee last September — I tore my ACL. We went ahead with reconstructive surgery, which was done just over 3 weeks ago. I've been recuperating since then, and very slowly regaining a semblance of my normal everyday life.
It's my habit to observe myself and my surroundings carefully, when entering a new situation. This one was no different; so today, some highlights from the past 6 weeks of observation … both internal and external.
1) We identify a lot with our bodies
In my unconscious I have long preferred to think of my physical body as something like "a 20-yr-old's body that might just be a little rusty". This is quite a delusion. And one that I've long told myself, to maintain my preferred self-concepts of youth, health, power, and ability. My identity has chosen (if you will) to clothe itself in those garments, and notice how very dependent they are on the physical body for validation.
But here I was confronted with my first real injury and my first real surgery. The effect was something like when a movie actor breaks the 3rd wall, and perhaps exposes not just the audience, but also the cameraman and the film crew and the entire soundstage apparatus, and the hollywood commercialism behind it too. Deconstruction, is the word.
I have long thought of "me" as this youthful, capable mix of flesh and mind. But this simple injury dispelled the illusion of such a tidy "me", and drew my attention to how unrealistic and unfair the illusion was in the first place. In its place I have begun to accept much humbler facts:
- I am just a human, no more and no less. My physical body is somehow part of the "me" that I know, but it is not the whole thing. More importantly it does not deserve the lion's share of that constituency.
- I am getting older, and one day far from now, I will definitely die. It is no use at all to fear the passage of time. It is even worse to deny it, and to ignore the wearing-out of my natural hardware.
- If I want to set clear goals like "be able to play ultimate frisbee at age 50", I will simply have to put in the work required for it, consistently, for a very long time. No amount of wishful thinking or delusion will help either way with that.
- Some goals, such as "play ultimate at age 50" may turn out to be impractical. Initially such a thought fills me with dread. But, in the grand scheme of human history and the cosmos at large, it turns out this is not a huge loss.
- There are still many ways to be a successful human, even without the ability to sprint, leap, change directions explosively, or squat 250lbs.
Such lessons might not be news at all to those who don't take themselves so comically seriously; or, to those who aren't as physically active as me; or, to those who have had much earlier histories of injury, illness, misfortune, and appropriate coping. But I don't fit into any of those categories, so I am learning the above lessons at age 30.
More than anything, I think most of this comes down to a fear of death; not just any death, but the long slow decline of independence and vigor which leads to death that seems to characterize later life in western civilization. As youthful able-bodied people, we prefer not to grapple with the eventuality of that decline; instead we quietly imagine ourselves to be somehow immortal.
2) Our healthcare system is strange
This is the first time I've had to take full responsibility for any serious medical work. Even including the psychic shock described above, the very worst part of this whole experience was simply trying to find out how much the damn operation was going to cost us. And yes we'd like to know sooner than the day before surgery, please.
We're well into the digital age but the right hand still doesn't seem to know what the left hand is doing; everything is still processed manually, and might I add, with seemingly no urgency. I'm complaining just a bit about this, but I am a hyper-literate gainfully-employed member of the prestige class of our society who stood little chance of not being able to afford the estimated charges, even if they were high. But without those myriad advantages, what is this experience like? Say for a minority, single-mom with 2 kids working 50 hrs/wk?
The timing of all this makes me pay closer attention than ever to this election cycle's discussion of our system. I wouldn't go so far as to call it "broken", but it certainly deserves some optimization.
3) Social pressure seems to be born from capability
I've been repeating the joke that if anyone wants a magical pause button from the conventions of yuppie life, he or she should have ACL surgery.
For a couple of weeks after the operation, I simply couldn't do much at all:
- couldn't concentrate on much due to narcotics
- couldn't stay out long in public or with friends due to lack of energy
- couldn't exercise or have any adventures, due to an insufficient number of functional limbs
Instead, my existence has been: napping, consuming a lot of YouTube, doing rehab exercises, trying to maintain an adequate calorie intake, and trying to remain relatively positive in my moods.
Here's the thing: everyone was really great about this whole thing. People asked how I was doing but didn't pressure me to do anything at all. Thus the internal flow chart of social pressures shifted to something like this:
I can't do anything >> Therefore I don't have to >> Therefore I won't
When I looked at this again, I realized it is just a negative image of the pressures that most of us feel everyday. Here's what I think that looks like:
I can do tons of things >> Therefore I should >> Therefore I will
In other words, I am suggest that most of the "shoulds" that we experience are based first on the fact that we can. You should have a nice house because you have the means and the taste to decorate it. You should be an informed voter because the information is at your fingertips. You should stay out late with your friends because you don't have kids. You should wake up early and exercise because you're young and healthy. There are probably better examples. You get the idea.
By contrast, the last few weeks I've been living the life of an elderly man. I can't do any of those things right now. And so the internal chatter, the herd-pressures from the reptile brain, the endless charades of identity-formation and -preservation … all of that has gone quiet, for a few very rare weeks.
Last week I took the slowest effing walk through the park across from my office. Everybody and their toddlers were moving faster than me on the gravel track. What a bizarre experience. A preview of life at the age of 85, perhaps. But what a remarkable privilege — to be relieved for just a few weeks of my own expectation that I will be healthy, fast, strong, and ambitious. And of everyone else's expectation as well.
There was no speed or exhilaration to be enjoyed there. All I had was the slow ground beneath, radiant clear sky above, and the blur of happy bodies moving past me.
… and it was plenty.
4) Gratitude as spirituality
Every single tiny milestone along this healing journey is a momentary cause for sincere thanksgiving and celebration. Removing the outer bandages. Activating the atrophied quadriceps again. Achieving tiny gains in my range of motion, degree by degree. Removing inner bandages. Going off painkillers entirely. Fighting my way back to full extension of the knee. Raising a straightened leg, unassisted, off the therapy table.
Three days ago I was cleared from my crutches, freed to walk again. Full ambulation is one of those thresholds that, much later in life, marks the divide between independent, and dependent living. As I said, I've been living life as an elderly man for the last few weeks. Gradually, I am becoming younger again.
It's profound to get to give thanks for such things. How often is one ever prompted to lose the thing he has always taken for granted … and then to regain it? Not often. Most of the time in life, those sorts of things are lost for good.
5) Therapy is close to divinity
My physical therapist provides me with such powerful support and wisdom that she might as well be my savior. That's a weird statement, but it seems about right to me. I would feel lost in this process of healing and rebuilding, without her help as a guide and a champion.
I tend to be pretty guarded. I go to fair lengths to avoid situations that might cause me to feel weak, vulnerable, or confused. But this injury and operation has struck (as you noticed) very close to the heart of my self-concept. In the wake of the surgery then, I've had no choice but to feel weak and vulnerable — it is a fact of my condition, empirically verifiable even.
But my PT, and indeed any therapist of any kind who is gifted for the job, steps gently into that fog of weakness and says happily "It is okay that you feel this way. It's okay to be scared, or confused, or frustrated, or impatient. I know the way out of here. Let me show you that trail. I'm on your team."
And so the experience of doing my rehab exercises, and asking questions, and getting feedback, and getting my stats re-checked, and hearing the latest news and instructions, and milestones, and overall hearing her excitement at my progress … it all manifests as a shared gratitude. As though we are rebuilding my body, and indeed my safety and my self, through a shared effort.
I can't do more justice than that to it at the moment. But what I'm saying is, I am very grateful for my PT. And I think therapists do holy work.
That's plenty for today. I shall resume ye olde deconstruction topics soon enough.

Stochastic Resonance In A Balanced Pair Of Single-Electron Boxes
Stochastic resonance in a fundamental single-electron circuit, i.e., a balanced pair of single-electron boxes, is observed and presented theoretically, where the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the internal states stimulated by responding to a periodic subthreshold or suprathreshold input is enhanced by thermal agitation in tunneling junctions. Through extensive Monte-Carlo simulations, the peak SNR was determined as a function of temperature and input amplitudes. These results imply the possibility to design single-electron circuits that may "exploit" thermal noise, instead of employing conventional noise-suppression strategies.

TORONTO (Reuters) - Retired hockey superstar Wayne Gretzky says his father, Walter, not only taught him how to play the game but also to be financially conservative, avoid debt and put his money where it is safest: in the bank.
"My dad always told me: 'It could end tomorrow'," Gretzky told reporters in Toronto on Monday as he touted retirement planning for the wealth management arm of Toronto-Dominion Bank, Canada's second-largest bank.
"I just like to keep my money in the bank."
Gretzky, 51, recalled his first big payday in 1978, when he received a $250,000 signing bonus for turning professional. As he and his father parted ways after signing the deal, the 17-year-old future National Hockey League star told his dad he wanted to buy a car.
"He wrote me a check for $5,000 and said: 'Go get whatever you want.' I bought a used Trans Am for $3,800. So I guess the story is that he taught me from a young age to be really conservative and that's the way I've lived my whole life."
Gretzky, who played 20 years in the NHL for four teams before retiring in 1999, has been a partner in a Toronto restaurant named Wayne Gretzky's since 1993 and has more recently entered the wine business.
But he said one of his basic rules is not to invest in things he doesn't understand - including the stock market - and to limit any one investment to 10 percent of the family's net worth. He said his best ever investment was probably buying income averaging annuities when he turned pro in 1978.
"I've never borrowed or leveraged to try to turn $1 into $10. I've never been a leverage person," Gretzky said.
While he said he's never been flamboyant, requiring fancy cars or other baubles to be happy, Gretzky admitted to one extravagance: the 1961 Cadillac his wife gave him for his 50th birthday, which his kids first said they wouldn't get in, but now drive more than he does.
Asked if he could do one thing differently to prepare for retirement, Gretzky didn't hesitate:
"I would have tried to make more money," he said with a laugh. "It's been a wonderful life ... but it goes quicker than you think."

Flirting styles dusted off for Valentine's Day
Brits are boorish, French flatter, Scandinavians play it cool and Italians get intimate.
Everyone does it, but how we flirt depends largely on our culture and a host of unspoken rules.
"Basically we are descended from a long line of successful flirts and it is hardwired into our brains," social anthropologist Kate Fox told AFP.
"If we didn't initiate contact with the opposite sex, then we wouldn't reproduce, and the species would die out."
With Valentine's Day approaching, those searching for a soulmate or just for a bit of fun will be sharpening their skills, ready for a bit of banter and eyelash battering all in the hope of catching one of Cupid's arrows.
But beware of injury to tender parts. For the subtle rules of flirting vary so much, that foreigners are often caught unawares, unsure if they are being courted or insulted.
No touching
In the Netherlands, touching strangers, even just a friendly hand on the shoulder in the pub, is a big no-no, as is approaching or complimenting a stranger in the street.
Catina, a 30-something American woman working for an international organisation in The Hague, with three Dutch boyfriends under her belt, said: "In the Netherlands you have eye contact and approach men, they don't approach you".
"At home (the US) you just stand there and they come to you. Here you have to be more aggressive," she said, who was voted "biggest flirt" in high school.
Alcohol approach
In Britain, flirting tends to be alcohol-fuelled to cover up fears of intimacy and rejection.
"The British male is either reticent, tongue-tied and awkward, or boorish and crass, and he usually consumes too much alcohol," Ms Fox said.
"English male flirting tends to be very circuitous, and involves a lot of insults rather than compliments.
"I've had to explain lots of times to foreign friends that 'silly cow' can really be a term of endearment," added the Oxford-based researcher who has just published a book Watching the English: The Hidden Rules of English Behaviour.
British girls, used to the drunken pub environment back home, can be taken aback during trips across the Channel to France, unused to a sudden rush of compliments and open flirtation.
Cheesy lines
"Frenchmen are less sexually obvious, there is less banter and they are more direct. They'll say cheesy things like 'you have really nice eyes'," one young journalist said.
It is also perfectly acceptable in France for men to walk up to a stranger in the street and ask them to go for a coffee, even at the risk of being knocked back.
In Sweden, visitors may be deceived into thinking that flirting does not exist, since two strangers rarely exchange glances, a wink or a telling smile.
But come the weekend, Swedes, both men and women, let loose.
Direct approach
Do not expect sophisticated romance though, as it is not unusual for an inebriated Swede to immediately ask the woman who has caught his eye if she wants to have sex.
In Italy, where men and women embrace with ease at each meeting, foreign girls can be seen as fair game by young Italian males, often frustrated by long, traditional courtships with their Italian girlfriends.
Even though bottom-pinching may now be a thing of the past, women sitting on their own in a Rome cafe are likely to attract more than one rowdy "Ciao bella!" and could find it hard to shake off their unwanted beau.
Sexual harassment
Indeed knowing when an innocent flirt has crossed the boundaries into sexual harassment is not always obvious, although Ms Fox said as soon as you begin to get negative signals it is time to back off.
A recent sociological study in the Czech Republic carried out for the labour ministry found that most people perceived sexual harassment as being "a concept artificially imported from abroad".
"Conversations with hidden erotic meaning, provocative allusions and even rude stories are all part of what makes the world go round," the study said.
Yet, the Germans ever anxious to get it right have taken things one step further with several schools offering individual or group lessons in flirting etiquette.
For 125 euros, students can take part in a weekend "Flirt Workshop" at the Be2 school with teachers Justina Lethen and Volker Dettke saying their "knowledge of flirting comes as much from their scientific as well as their practical experience".
Ms Fox says the idea of taking lessons in what should come naturally was not a bad one.
"After all, eating is natural, but we don't all have good table manners," she said.

Low speed is a relative term. These are good to ,I would guess, at least 100 MPH.
The bottom inlet angle can be ground to a flatter angle if pressure gets too high.
I have a pressure gauge on the dash and have never seen more than 6 PSI @ over
70 MPH. I also have a relief valve w/overboard dump but it's completely redundant.
The pictures are of my 22C Testa Rossa. There's a heat exchanger hiding at the
bottom of the rear seat also w/an electric circulating pump.
Good luck w/your project.

Web Chef Review: Wallaby Organic Low Fat Vanilla Yogurt
Have you tried Wallaby brand yogurt?
We did and we were so glad we did! Truly…
This Creamy Australian Style Yogurt was delightful in Vanilla.
It wasn't like many low fat yogurts that seem to be runny or skimp on flavor.
It was rich and creamy in texture, as promised.
The way they come up with this flavor and texture is by their small batch cooking process, which also includes long culturing and gentle handling.
The result is a very satisfying low fat yogurt that actually tastes so good you wouldn't know it's low in fat!
What's great about Wallaby Organic is that the flavored yogurt is subltly sweet – not too sweet at all! I love that because I often enjoy plain, flavorless yogurt.
This yogurt is USDA Organic, made of only the finest organic ingredients, and has 4 live active cultures included: L. acidophilus, L. bulgaricus, S. thermophilus, and bifidus.
With only 190 calories per cup, 3 g of fat and 9 g of lean protein, this is a real winner – 5 stars!
Try it, you'll love it for breakfast, snack or dessert…Awesome for people on the go too!
I hope you enjoyed this Food Product Review on Cooking With Kimberly! Until next time…
Eat Deliciously,
Kimberly Edwards 🙂
P.S. Want to make your own yogurt at home? Check out these cool electric yogurt makers:

In my last blog, I talked about different ways of thinking of evil, as defined through Aramaic interpretation. I didn't relate it to evil spirits. Pictures like the one here make it hard to reduce your image that evil might not be as insidious as it sounds. But we tend to go to the extremes when emotion gets involved.
The Hebrew word for evil ('ra) means several things, ranging from the opinion that something is bad (like fruit that has rotted); displeasing (as in a woman in the eyes of her patriarchal husband); or harmful (like wild beasts, poisonous berries, or disease). In a general sense, evil refers to anything that causes pain, unhappiness, or misery—which can include the punishment of discipline sent by God. In the Bible, a man whose heart is evil could mean anything from sorrowful to vicious, depending upon the context.
The Aramaic word for evil (bisha) also permits you to give evil a wider span for a person's behavior. The Aramaic word refers to the sense of unripe, undeveloped, or inappropriate action. Other words include corrupt, immature, or a diversion. The roots of the Aramaic point to a sense of what distracts you from moving forward and can refer to what is not ready or out of rhythm with what is harmonious (Neil Douglas-Klotz).
On the other side of the coin, the Aramaic word for good is taba, and means ripe, or ready for its purpose. Good is what is done at the right time and place, and we'll assume, for the right reason. Its roots point to something that maintains its integrity and health by inner growth in harmony with what surrounds it.
With these adjustments to the meaning of good and evil, the wisdom of the ages carries broader significance. The apostle Paul said, "Do not repay evil with evil, but with good."
Do not repay immature actions
(or actions out of rhythm with harmony and unity),
with the same unripeness;
but respond with maturity,
with ripe actions that restore health and harmony.
Stop acting like children. Stop reacting to the immature or unripe actions of others without thinking. Pause. Use your brain and exercise the wisdom and creativity necessary to restoring health, wholeness, unity, and peace to the situation.
Maybe this understanding of evil can help us relate to the ability of Jesus to cast out evil spirits – immature spirits, dis-eased spirits, underdeveloped spirits, bad-opinioned spirits, spirits that spit out poisonous words. It's worth thinking about. Maybe you and I can do the same. Maybe we can contribute to casting evil spirits out of ourselves, too, as we participate in activities that help us to grow in our own personal development and maturity.

Ghost And Ghouls on New Radio Show, "Nova X"
Exciting news! Starting tomorrow, I'll discuss ghosts every Monday night on Nova X, a radio show based in Costa Blanca, Spain. The show debuts tomorrow and will initially air from 6 to 8 p.m. EST. Fellow ghost nerds can listen online here. I've never done radio before, so the experience should be interesting to say the least!
This week I'll discuss the Old City Jail in Charleston, SC and Room 204 of Savannah's 17Hundred90 Inn. Here's a synopsis for those who've forgotten the stories or haven't had the pleasure of reading my posts 🙂
The Old City Jail, Charleston, SC
Built in 1802, the Old City Jail housed some of Charleston County's most infamous criminals, including 19th-century pirates, errant slaves, and Lavinia Fisher, America's first female serial killer. Weird events at the jail include objects that disappear, an alarm that goes off for no apparent reason, cell phone batteries that mysteriously die, and the sound of heavy breathing in empty cells.
17Hundred90 Inn, Room 204, Savannah, GA
Legend has it a heartbroken woman named Anna jumped from #204 sometime in the late 1800s. Now strange events plague the room. Guests have startled awake to the sound of shattering glass or the sight of a shadowy figure near the foot of the bed. Women leave their jewelry or toiletries one place only to find them somewhere completely different. Tour guides refer to the 17Hundred90 Inn as "the most haunted hotel" in "the most haunted city" in America.

* Indian Kofta Curry
Posted on September 7th, 2008 by Linda. Filed under Coriander, Course, Entree, Fennel, Indian, Lamb.
Delicious Gujerati style of curry, with lamb kofta aka meatballs. A flavor explosion experience.
Cook's tip: The bread crumbs make the meatballs tender. Add the cream/ yogurt at the end so that it does not break.
1 lb ground lamb
1 egg white
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground fennel
3 cloves garlic, minced

Lion rock Sigiriya
Sigiriya Travel Blog› entry 10 of 25 › view all entries
Sleeping at the foot of the Sigiriya rock ('Lion rock') since two nights already (marvellous view from the hotel towards the rock), finally got to visit it!
The rock is towering
Continuing climbing steeply up the rock you'll reach the Lion Platform, where you find the remains of a gigantic lion statue. Then the final ascent to the summit, a narrow iron staircase!
Once at the top you'll find the remains of The Royal Palace and a large tank. And a marvellous (although somewhat hazy) view!!!
In the afternoon we visited a local family, a mother with here daughters demonstrating some typical house hold chores such as cooking methods, husking coconut, making roti….. a touristic thing, but interesting (for sure due to the very friendly, charming ladies J).

I've known this girls for about two months now and I asked if we could be more than just friends and she laughed and said no. She said that all she ever saw me as was a friend and she really wants to be friends and that she would be devastated if I left her, I haven't talked to her in going on two months was I wrong for that?
Most Helpful Girl
You're not wrong for that. You are just protecting your feelings from her. When you like someone who doesn't like you back but you still keep them in your life, you're only hurting yourself. Being aware of the fact that you will never be with that person is heartbreaking.00|00|0
Thanks, I do want to be her friend but I don't wanna feel like she's just stringing me along
exactly there's nothing wrong with protecting yourself

[Even though she's out on the edge here, I had to tell you that this was written by CalifMom. Of course, you'll recognize her voice, but I want to make sure she gets public credit because she's so damn darn funny. That said, do NOT give this momma a hard time about her *&^$ and #@%t. She's earned it. :-) cv ]
At profound personal risk of being told that ampersands, hashmarks and percentage signs are offensive, I'll let you fill in your own blank.
We have one of those problems that happens way out on the edges of the bell curve of normal distribution. So for those of you working with lackadaisical or wimpy APs, I'm sorry but our AP takes her job very seriously. Too seriously. I mean, waaaay too seriously.
If I ask a kid to sit straight in their chair at dinner, she'll pounce on them immediately, before the child has even had time to comply with my request, as if I need "back up" from Officer Ponch. Even the poor dog is subjected to her extreme demandingness: if I ask the dog to leave the kitchen, she starts repeating my command, louder. (Which, as dog owners know, only confuses the dog, who was obeying the Alpha as a good dog should, and then trains the dog to ignore the AP. In response, the AP barks louder, more frequently, and so it cycles.)
I have talked directly with the AP with these issues after the kids are in bed. I've been doing this in a friendly way, from the approach of "Okay, so here's my take on what happened this morning. Let's figure out what you could try next time, because I know you were really frustrated." (Language skills are not an issue.)
I have actually pointed out, directly and in so many words, that the reason the children seem to be ignoring her is because, well, they *are* ignoring her. She talks so much and so often, always chiding and correcting what they've done or left undone or didn't do perfectly that they actually don't hear her. I told her that while it may not be what she would like me to say, this "not hearing" is a perfectly rational and predictable in response to her constant scolding. She cannot understand this at all and would be happy if I were to mandate perfect compliance and servitude. (I'll get right on that.)
I have led conversations into discussions about how brains develop, that children are not small adults, and that the reason you need to repeat yourself is because, well, children need to be told things repeatedly. The alternative is to whack them when they don't put their shoes away the first time, but as much as we all love Little House on the Prairie, I think we don't really want to take them back behind the shed to get whupped, do we? I have appealed to her own experience as a child (not that long ago!) and pointed out that I bet her mom had to tell her to do things more than once. "Well, but I never….." is her reply. She is unable to step outside herself much. And yet, she wanted to come very far away from her mother for an au pair year. Hellooooo????
She cannot stop herself from nagging and seeing problems at every turn. She may not want to stop, thinking of herself as Super Au Pair brought in to whip these kids into shape or something. She is subjecting my kids to her mother's rules as well as our. And there are so very many rules she grew up with! Not surprisingly, her rules do not always align with ours, but it seems that she believes that when she is in charge she gets to set ALL the rules.
In a recent example, she insisted that a child not pick out objectionable bits from a food item, even though they were too strongly flavored. I was home, and in the other room but didn't hear this happening. I had made the food, and I told the kid to pick out the objectionable bits. Life is too short for these sorts of power struggles. There are plenty of other power struggles that we do have to engage in, as adults, and ultimately win. Picking out offensive bits is not one of them, if the rest of the thing is being eaten. Big picture! How do I get her to see the big picture?
And now, predictably, the power struggles are getting worse. Fine, Child thinks, you're going to make me eat the bits I don't like, I'm going to yell in your face and take a swing at you when you try to break up an argument I'm having with my sibling, because you don't understand me and don't hear me! You interrupt me every time I try to say something because I'm little and I don't talk as fast as you do, and I'm sure you're going to correct whatever I say anyway.
My kids are not thriving emotionally in this environment. They're at school most of the day, but walking on eggshells a lot when they're home.
But even with all this, she can be fun (when she's not nagging) and the kids want her to like them soooo much it hurts me to watch. She's the type who will never be satisfied, no matter how good they are. She has a sense of humor and she is an otherwise good AP. She drives well. She fears DUI. She is conscientious (duh! — to a fault! see above) and pitches in. She's just a terrible perfectionist, even while, as she puts it, she feels very lucky because her AP friends' charges are so much worse than ours. (gee thanks!)
Here's what I've done:
- • modeling alternative approaches with the kids
- • counseling her (after the kids are in bed) to pick battles carefully, etc (we talk every night)
- • encouraging her to spend more time with friends so that her not insignificant energies will spent elsewhere
- • and I've talked to our counselor (who advised us to have a stern talk with her about what I see as her basic personality traits. I'm not seeing how that stern talk works out well.)
And, less helpfully, I'm also:
- • biting my tongue until it's raw
- • laughing out loud (but "at" not "with" her, so I have to zip out of the room in an unseemly, undoubtedly confusing way) and sometimes
- • leaving the room in exasperation, wanting to smack her upside the head or
- • pouring a second drink (seriously; this AP is just so high maintenance)
- • not sharing a lot of this with my hub anymore because he's tired of hearing about it
- • getting into heated conversations when she has refused to hear what I'm saying and it's clear that I've hit a very stubborn brick wall on a point that is very important to me
I've given her tips (try whispering instead of yelling, etc). I've tried teaching the theory, I've tried coaching on the tactics, I've shared mentor-y advice about Life and helping her think about what she'll do next.
I find myself wanting reassurance on any given day that she's actually being nice to them while I'm not there. She's hot-and-cold and rather volatile, so when things are fun they're really really fun, but she herself is not calm in the eye of a storm when she needs to be (as I saw first hand with the failed attempt to break up a sibling fight. I walked in, split the kids up, and started problem solving but I am loath to intercede when the AP is supposed to be handling it. I gave her a lot of time to be effective, but she just wasn't. So I felt like I had no other option at the time, because really, the AP was escalating the fight.)
And I fear that she may be acting one way in front of me, and presenting one set of information in her reportage, but is quite different when she's alone with them and there's no authority figure around.
What am I missing?
How can you effectively counsel someone to "calm the @#$ down"?
Am I worrying over nothing, and should counsel myself to remember that kids are resilient?

Return to Candidate Questionnaire
NAME: Elden Brauer
Supervisor, Rutland Township
1. Why are you seeking this position?
The supervisor role allows me the opportunity to use my past experiences in offering an important grass roots civic service to Rutland residents. I believe I could bring about an improved spirit of cooperation among all officials including Assessor, Road Commissioner, Clerk and Trustees in the management of Township responsibilities.
This would result in a more efficient use of taxpayer dollars in delivering quality services.
2. What experience and background do you have which qualifies you for this position?
Career wise I served for 30 years as an executive with Aetna's Employee Benefit Division in Ohio, New York and Illinois. And for over 20 years have operated an independent insurance and consulting business. By training and experience I am well equipped to manage fiscal and administrative requirements of the Supervisor position. In addition I have served in numerous community roles over the years. Examples are: elder at St. Peter Lutheran Church of Gilberts, chairman of Western Du Page Special Recreation Association Development Board, member of Central Du Page Hospital Development Board and president of Wheaton AM Rotary, Through working with these organizations, I have developed the skills needed to build consensus and teamwork for effective management of Rutland Township operations.
3. What will be your greatest challenge if elected?
From what I have observed, there is a need for team building and greater cooperation of officials in conducting Township business. This would include curbing rising real estate taxes, assuring proper roadway maintenance and general budget and expense management. The challenge will be to capitalize on the considerable knowledge and experience of each official to assure the best ongoing decisions for Rutland taxpayers.
Release for publication? YES
I will attend the forum? YES

The Rise of the Twentysomething CEO
So it turns out that those young whipper-snappers are, after all, the ones making all the running. Although we reported recently the rise of the not-quite-so-young (i.e. 35) entrepreneur, it appears that as far as the West Coast start ups are concerned you are over the hill at 30.
Our U.S. sister site reports on the growth of the under 30 entrepreneur, fueled by the falling cost of running a start up and an up-coming generation that grew up breathing the Internet. Paul Graham, a partner in Y Combinator, a Mountain View investment company says nearly 80% of the start ups they have funded had CEOs under 30.

Tulkinghorn had occasion the other day to be chatting to the delightful Geldards East Midlands' senior partner David Williams, who counts among his clients the now-oxymoronic Derby County Football Club.
It was not always thus. The Rams were once high-flying, championship-winning greats. The reason? One Brian Clough.
Jump forward a few years and Williams found himself on a panel discussing the legal issue of the day and sitting in the front row was none other than Cloughie himself.
Randomly, as was his wont, Clough decided to ask Williams for advice on his inheritance tax.
Williams, a property lawyer, didn't have a clue. However, he figured Cloughie wouldn't either. So putting on his most authoritative lawyerly voice, Williams plucked a figure out of the air, satisfying the great man. Temporarily.
"Young man," said Clough.
"Is that just for me, or me and the wife?"
"Both," blagged Williams. Again, Clough went away. Until the conference was over, at which point the football tyro put himself in Williams' face and barked: "Don't you ever give me wrong f**king advice again!"
The next day Clough visited Williams in his office to instruct him. Mysterious ways indeed.

Tell Old Navy: Support Pride in All 50 States
Old Navy recently announced that they will carry a line of gay pride t-shirts for the month of June, bearing rainbow themes and slogans like "Love Proudly," and will donate 10% of the proceeds to the It Gets Better Project. Old Navy's popular, inexpensive clothing and 1,035 locations could have put these shirts and their message of equality in the hands, or at least the consciousness, of people across the United States. Instead, the shirts will only be available in 26 locations, and cannot be purchased online.
Old Navy could have used its broad appeal to give the LGBT community exposure and support of an unprecedented kind. Instead, Old Navy has chosen to treat Pride as a commodity, dabbling in it to see whether there is a "market" for equality. Facebook users on the store's event page are reporting disinterested form letter responses to their customer service emails, with Old Navy representatives suggesting that, if the line is a success, its availability may be expanded in future years.
Old Navy needs to know that, while the LGBT community appreciates their effort to promote equality, we will not be content with any bone we're thrown. Our identity is not something to be commodified, market tested and discarded if found unprofitable. Far from spreading love and equality, Old Navy's choice of stores is utterly predictable: big cities and blue states where the "gay market" is comfortably established. By not making the line available in every store, Old Navy is reinforcing the stereotype that gay people do not exist in small-town America, or if they do, it is not yet time for them to "Love Proudly."
Tell Old Navy: make Pride available in every store in all 50 states!

The message of the new Old Navy Pride line, "Love Proudly," deserves to be spread to all 50 states.
We, the LGBT community and its allies, appreciate your effort to support visibility and equality, and especially your commitment to donate 10% of the proceeds to the It Gets Better Project. However, by limiting the availability of Pride gear to 26 stores out of your 1000+ locations in the US, you send the message that equality is something there is a market for in some locations, but not others. In particular, this decision reinforces the stereotype that gay people do not exist in small towns and conservative states.
Please send the message that there is a market for equality and pride everywhere by making Old Navy Pride available in all Old Navy stores in the US and online, and commit to making Pride gear widely available in the future!

text: I am on the "partner track" at my small consulting firm and have invited one partner (female) and our other partner's wife to join me for a "girl's lunch" in December. They are both fun women and this lunch is supposed to be about us getting to know one another better as I continue to progress within the firm. I want to impress them with a well-planned lunch with fabulous food and good service -- but don't want it to be stuffy, over rated, or over priced. Where can three women have a long, leisurely, yet business appropriate lunch in Seattle that is fun, tasty, and makes me look like a rock star??? It will be close to the holidays (December 23rd) so I need to get a reservation made soon. Help!
