A lovely Ebayer (who must have amazing memory) sent me a message today saying that she recognized one of my RMK pics on someone's listing on the Bay. I went to check and sure enough, it had been nicely cropped so that the watermarking was gone! How cheeky I thought, whilst being aghast at the prices this person was charging for a basic RMK eyeshadow.
I personally hate sticking big ugly watermarks over the centre of an image and I don't like ranting and raving about copyright -Tis the spirit of the net to be sharin' stuff around and getting bitched about on because people are too chicken to say it to your face…but a little teeny credit is always nice.
Anyway stealing is naughty, naughty and I am not condoning it.
If there are any of my photos you would like to use you can just ask me. And I might say yes instead of casting a witch spell over you for 100 bad hair days.
UPDATE: Seller has removed photo from one listing – let me know with a message of apology:
Geez, I'm sorry did I bother you?!
Ladies for your information, a solo RMK eyeshadow is around £12. If its a limited one its about £16. Lipsticks are £15. You should not be paying much more than that!

Yeast Infection Monistat
How To CURE Your Yeast Infection In ONE DAY
Hi there, Eric Bakker, naturopath. I'm going to do a tutorial today on how to cureCandida24 hours. How you can get rid of your yeast infection completelyone dayand be fully cured and healed and never get it back again, zero. What do you think aboutthaté Well, I just spent a good hour on YouTubehaving a look at a whole array of different YouTube tutorials by expertsCandida. Andone particular person claims you can cure Candida 100 percentone week; every caseof Candida can be cured by following a 100 percent vegan diet. All you've got to do iseat lots and lots of fruit, nothing but fruit;
you avoid all animal proteins completely,no meat at all, no eggs, no fish, no chicken, no beef, absolutely no animal food. Just eatnothing but fruit and within one week, it's fully cured because all animal foods containfats, which line your arteries and keep sugaryour blood, which allows Candida to feedoff. What a load of crap! I just can't really buy a lot of this stuff that people come upwith. I'm telling you folks, there's so much bologna on line. There's another man I saw on a YouTube clip.He said, You can ink alcohol with a yeast infection. There's nothing wrong with Vodkaor Gin. Neutral spirits are fine. Just avoid
other things like Whiskey and Bourbon andbeer, but Vodka and Gin are fine to ink with a yeast infection. Now, if you're going to watch these sortsof clips and believe them, you're going to be a real fool and a sucker for punishment.Some of these tutorials have had 20,000 or 30,000 views30 days, which shows me that a lotof people maybe are falling for this sort of crap. I really hope you don't fall forthis absolute nonsense. Think about it logically, eating lots of fruit, 15 pieces of fruit aday, loaded with sucrose and fructose. What are you doing to your guté
Now, this particular person's about 20 yearsold and quite a fanatical vegan no doubt like a lot of vegans are. But I'd like to see thisparticular person when she's 50 like me to see what she looks like; if she's still bubblyand bright and bouncing around and all happy. She could be a big ball of lard at that stage;we don't really know what she's going to look like. I'm not here to criticize her, but I'm goingto tell you that these sorts of approaches are absolute garbage. You know they may workfor 6 months or 12 months. They may work for her, but if you're going to try this approachwith a seriously bad yeast infection and just
eat fruit all day, how do you think you'regoing to feelé Within a couple of years, you're going to be B12 deficient, you're going tobe Iron deficient, you're going to get fatigued and tired, you'll have recurring infections,you'll have blood sugar problems, and you're going to feel pretty sick. I want you to takemy advice and don't follow these sorts of ridiculous radical approaches. My approach makes a lot more sense and isbased on the work done by a naturopath and medical many years ago. Trowbridge; Trowbridge's MEVI approach makes common sense to me. Eggs, vegetables, meats, yogurt,cultured fermented foods, nuts and seeds,
a wide range of different foods obviouslytailored to suit a specific person. Now I'm not here to argue the merits of veganism orvegetarianism versus eating meatthe diet, but I've been through a strict stagemylife where I've avoided all that or more, proteins, completely for a while and I feltgreat. But then after a while, I didn't feel great until I incorporated protein back intomy diet from an animal source. I'll do some YouTube clips outlining the importanceof animal proteinsyour diet, which I believe are very important. But it's up to you todecide what way you're going to get your protein sources from. You may want to get them fromvegetable sources or legume sources or nuts

About 8 years ago, I got a female kitten, Sunny to keep my male cat Shadow company. The two of them began to bond, always cuddling. Sunny seemed like she was actually trying to nurse at Shadow. I joked that she thought he was her "mom".
Shadow was my boy. He followed me everywhere, he slept with me, he worshipped the ground I walked on. Sunny never bonded with me, she was Shadow's kitty. But we both loved him - A LOT.
Two years ago, I came home to find Shadow on my living room floor - DEAD. I was pretty blind sided and Sunny and I were both devistated.
Yesterday, I was laying on the couch with Petie and Sasha. While I was petting Sasha I remembered, it's her birthday! And then sadly remembered, AND the day Shadow died. I felt pretty comfortable with my head on a sleeping Petie and Sasha cuddled up at my feet, so I took solice in them and the sadness of missing Shadow left my mind.
A few minutes later, Sunny came walking past the couch. I started to caox her up, knowing that she barely came on my lap WITHOUT the other animals on the couch and had NEVER come up with them there. To my surprise, she jumped right up on my stomach and laid the for about 45 minutes. I happily stroked her the entire time, thinking "She NEVER lays on me and lets me pet her like this!" But I was loving it!
This morning, as Sunny shot past me (as usual!) as I stooped to pet her , I said "Well at least we had that nice session yesterday!" And then I started thinking, how weird that on the anniversary of Shadow's death, she shows me affection like she has never shown me before, despite the other animals being there.
Well no matter what happened or why, it made me smile real big and I thought I would share.
Still missin my Shadow. He was a great cat and I hope I gave him a great life. He will always be my boy. In life he was always waiting for me at the top of the stairs when I got home. I hope in the end, I'll see him there, waiting for me.

Newport Gwent Dragons 22 Cardiff Blues 16
NEWPORT Gwent Dragons moved into the top half of the RaboDirect PRO12 after an excellent team performance saw them deservedly beat their biggest rivals the Cardiff Blues, writes Iwan Gabe Davies.
A pulsating Boxing Day derby in front of a packed and passionate Rodney Parade saw them claim sixth spot in the league and go into the return fixture away on New Year's Day full of confidence.
They also took full advantage of the Ospreys' earlier 10-6 away victory over the Scarlets to become the second placed Welsh region moving ahead of the Parc y Scarlets side and the Blues.
The Dragons got off to a great start when their fly-half Jason Tovey slotted over a second minute penalty after the visitors were guilty of being miles off side as the home side went through the phases.
An entertaining opening saw the hosts definitely shade things, playing some sparkling rugby and wing Will Harries looked dangerous when given the opportunity.
Blues outside-half Rhys Patchell should have been sin binned in the 13th minute for clearly taking out his opposite number Tovey, but all the Dragons got from referee Ian Davies was a penalty.
And the Dragons deservedly stretched their lead after a quarter of an hour when number eight
Toby Faletau scored a sparkling try after a smartly-taken short line from an attacking position just outside the 22.
Hooker T Rhys Thomas threw to tighthead prop Nathan Buck whose cute pass outside found the British and Lions and Wales star who romped home, Tovey nailing a tricky conversion to give his side a 10-0 lead.
The Dragons continued to have the upper hand and wing Hallam Amos probably shouldn't have kicked when he did well to gather a tough pass to steam through the Blues defence.
Had the Wales international passed to supporting runners, they could have exploited their numerical advantage to go even further ahead and deliver a potential knock-out blow.
But it was the Blues who scored next after they fashioned a try from practically nothing after a break by the visitors' full-back Leigh Halfpenny, hooker Kristian Dacey crossing after some weak defence. Halfpenny's conversion made it 10-7.
The home side tore through the Blues defence again after half an hour, their excellent full-back Dan Evans causing problems and only a try-saving tackle by Patchell on Amos prevented another try.
At the end of the half, Dragons back Ashley Smith saved the day when a chip and chase by Lions wing Alex Cuthbert caused the home team's alarm bells to ring, the centre diving on the ball deep in his half as the hosts snuffed out the attack.
A Halfpenny penalty on the stroke of half-time drew the sides level at 10-10 in a breathless first 40 that saw Lyn Jones' men the better team but guilty of being turned over at crucial stages.
In the 42nd minute Smith looked to have crossed for a cracker of a try to send the home crowds delirious but it was disallowed when official Davies went to TV match official Derek Bevan, Dragons blindside Netani Talei taking out Patchell at the ensuing ruck.
And after being 10-0 down, the Blues took the lead for the first time in the 45th minute when Halfpenny was on target with a penalty in the 45th minute.
The Dragons drew the scores level with a Tovey penalty five minutes later before centre Pat Leach ripped through from the restart as the hosts gained excellent territory as the Blues gave away another penalty.
Tovey was on target again as his side regained the lead, 16-13.
With their superb fans roaring them on, the Dragons were well in the driving seat and the visitors' problems were compounded when their highly regarded number eight Robin Copeland was yellow carded with 25 minutes to go.
There was a big blow for the Rodney Parade side as the third quarter drew to an end when Amos was forced to leave the field with a leg injury after a heavy tackle.
A well struck penalty by Tovey, who outplayed possible Wales rival Patchell, put his side six points up, the No 10 controlling matters well as the Dragons looked to tighten their grip on the game.
Copeland seemed to return to the field too early, certainly a couple of minutes before his ten minutes were up.
But the home supporters didn't care after the sublime Tovey drilled his fifth penalty, another difficult attempt, to take the Dragons 22-13 ahead.
A last ditch tap tackle on Cuthbert by the wonderful Leach saved what could have been a second Blues try but a long range Halfpenny brought them back within a converted try about ten minutes to go.
The Dragons were made to sweat in the closing stages but they held on to secure a memorable victory.

Mayor Coleen J. Seng today recognized the Lincoln Police Department for its state accreditation by the Police Chiefs Association of Nebraska. The Police Department applied for the accreditation program in June 2003 and was found to be in compliance with all applicable standards during an on-site review. The Association's executive board approved the accreditation September 21, and its President, Chief Charles Headley of Aurora, presented the accreditation award this morning.
"This award is significant for our Department," said Lincoln Police Chief Tom Casady. "We network every day with other Nebraska law enforcement agencies, and together we strive to make Nebraska a safer place to live and work. Accreditation recognizes exemplary policies and procedures, operational effectiveness and efficiency, excellent community relations and commitment to hiring and retaining dedicated employees. Agencies who achieve accreditation set an example of professional excellence in the state of Nebraska."
The Lincoln Police Department has also been nationally accredited through the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies since 1989. It was the first agency in Nebraska to be nationally accredited.

Fellsmere Police released dashcam video showing the dramatic efforts to bring a runaway BMW to a halt on Interstate 95.
Joseph Cooper, of Palm Coast, called 911 on Monday to say the gas pedal to his BMW X5 was stuck, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
Authorities put down out stop sticks on the highway near SR 60 and again near mile marker 151 to puncture the tires.
The BMW ultimately came to a halt near mile marker 155 in a cloud of dust.
Cooper was taken to the Indian River Medical Center to be checked out.
CBS 12 reached out to BMW for comment on this story. They responded to us saying that the vehicle had no outstanding recalls and the scenario they read off articles were 'implausible."
Here is their full response:
"Based on the articles we have seen, the scenario described is implausible to BMW and we would be happy to work with the Florida State Police to investigate the cause of this incident.
BMW drivers have long been able to rely on integrated safety systems that help ensure safe operation of every BMW vehicle. All BMW vehicles, including the 2003 X5 described in this incident, employ an electronic accelerator pedal which uses software logic to override the accelerator whenever the brake pedal is pressed while driving. This fail-safe software means that if the vehicle detects that both pedals are depressed, the on-board electronics will reduce engine power so that the driver may stop safely.
Furthermore, the accelerator pedal in BMW vehicles is hinged at the bottom, and mounts to the floor. Therefore an object or floor mat cannot slide under the accelerator pedal and jam it. Original BMW floor mats are custom-fitted for each vehicle, and are installed with anchors to keep them properly located in the front footwells of each vehicle.
The vehicle could also have been stopped by two additional means: By placing the transmission in neutral and coasting to a stop and/or by shutting off the ignition without removing the key. This is accomplished by turning the key counterclockwise. The engine would have shut off and the driver could have safely coasted the vehicle to a stop."

Integrated Version Control
Wing Pro includes integrated support for the Subversion, Mercurial, Bazaar, Git, CVS, and Perforce version control systems. Version control operations can be accessed with a menu on the main menubar, context menus in the editors and Project view, and a tool available from the Tools menu.
By default Wing auto-detects which version control system is in use for your project, based on files and directories that have been added to the project, and assigns a single active system for project-wide operations such as status, update, or commit. However, when right-clicking in the editor or Project view, the appropriate version control system is used even if this is different from the one defined for the project as a whole.
The name of the menu in the menu bar and the tool in the Tools menu changes to match the version control system that Wing is using for the project as a whole. Which version control systems will be considered for projects can be controlled by enabling or disabling each one in the Version Control preferences group.
Wing relies on being able to run the command line executable, such as svn, git, or p4, for any version control system in use. It also relies on an external ssh agent or other security agent to help authorize version control operations. Wing does not store passwords nor does it provide a way to enter them for each operation. See Version Control Configuration for help configuring ssh or the command line executables.
Note that version control operations are directory-based, just as they are on the command line, and most operations are applied recursively to sub-directories and their files. This is true even if those sub-directories or files are not visible in the Project view in Wing.

The Yowie: In Search of Australia's Bigfoot
3 comments:
As an Australian I have to say that I am not up on Yowies. It is practically unspoken about.
We don't have bears or primates that might cause mistaken sightings, so it is interesting that Rangers and the like have reported sightings. You wouldn't expect an expert to mistake a kangaroo, or a cow, for bigfoot. Australia does have large forrested areas where Yowies could potentially inhabit, but much of Australia is covered by farms, roads and highways so if it did exist they would be extremely small in number. The few stories I have heard usually involve seeing a strange creature on the side of the road in rural areas.
The book sounds interesting and the credibility does seem damaged by UFO connections. The reports would be an interesting read though.
- Subho Ray said...
It is not wise to question and Australian on things Australian. But I happened to read Bill Bryson's Down Under somtime back. If he is to be believed, there are things still to be discovered in Australia.
On a differnt note, there is a strong oral tradition in the Himalayas [both in India and Nepal] about the snowman locally known as the Yeti.
Rather than finding out if such "Superhumans" exist, I would probably begin by why such oral traditions exist in many parts of the world.
The cover of this book shows a trait of the yowie which has never been reported ever!! Three toes!!!
Paranormal being shave no place in serious discussion. One of the authors claims,"I don't really believe in the Yowie"..Yet still writes books about the subject to make money.

KINGS at CHICAGO
Faceoff: 5 p.m., Monday, United Center
TV/Radio: NBCSN, KTLK 1150-AM
Update: The Kings, the NHL's top defensive team, meet the Blackhawks, the league's best offensive team, in a rematch of last spring's Western Conference final. The Kings are coming off a last-second loss Saturday to the Nashville Predators and hoping to avoid a three-game loss with a defeat to the Blackhawks, who squandered a late lead in a shootout loss to the St. Louis Blues. The Blackhawks won the first of three games against the Kings on Dec. 15 in Chicago with three first-period goals in a 3-1 victory. The teams play again Feb. 3 at Staples Center. Chicago defeated the Kings in five games last June en route to the Stanley Cup championship. The Kings (25-10-4) have given up a league-low 79 goals and the Blackhawks (27-7-7) have scored a league-high 157. Anze Kopitar leads the Kings with 33 points (12 goals, 21 assists). Patrick Kane has a team-leading 53 points (23 goals, 30 assists) for Chicago.

If you follow me on Formspring, you might recognise this outfit a little. I used it to respond to someone's question asking how I put outfits together. (And if you did watch it, you'll see that I picked Litas over Stevies!)
I've felt like crap for the past few weeks. Working lots, strange shifts in weather leaving me feeling crappy, my mother's health deteriorating, lots of uncomfortable and stressful stuff going on in the living situation I'm in... Just, life. It's left me being so neglectful of so many things involving my blog. I'm constantly post-poning outfit shoots and whatever, on the excuse that I don't feel like going out. I've left DIY projects and jewelry making half-finished because I'm too tired. (And I ended up having a huge mix-up with some supplies I bought, which left me a little miffed.)
Things just kind of suck right now, dear readers. I crave a new job, new threads, a new place to reside, and feeling energetic and not sluggish and tired.
And what sucks the most is that I look at the clothes in my closet and go, "ugh." I have to ferret as much money away into my savings as I can, and being on the internet just shows me clothes that I would love but can't afford. I'm trying to stick to budget stuff on Etsy.
I hate to make such a complain-y post. I'm just so frustrated lately, especially with my clothing. I need a revamp, and I don't know how to go about it. I feel like I'm going insane. I need to get back on the ball, get myself into a productive and optimistic mindset. I think this is fasionably-late-seasonal-affective-dissorder or something.
Oy. Sorry about this stupid post. I think I just needed to vent. So, uh...dig my faux-fur?
Oh yeah, I'm re-wearing things again, mainly due to my style block. I keep rewearing the same few things that I love, but I don't typically photograph. Probably because I've been constantly wearing my Harley Davidson tee. You have no idea how often I wear that one. You'll be seeing it again shortly. I think vintage tees are the one thing that gets me excited lately.
Title reference; I'm probably the one person here who is not only familiar, but holds a preference for Queen's early albums. ('73-'75.) The glam rock, the glorious glam rock. I can't get over it. ♥

A Shelton Group study found that the environment is not the top concern of green consumers and, while many know what they should do to save the planet, they often don't do it.
As a result, messages aimed at them often fall on deaf ears, said Suzanne Shelton, whose firm conducted the study.
One of four annual surveys conducted by the firm, this study polled 1,007 U.S. consumers who at least occasionally buy green products (77 percent of the population) and found there is no typical "green consumer."
"Most green advertising is created as if there's one pool of green consumers and they're all motivated by 'save the planet!' messaging," Shelton said. "We need a revolution in this thinking. Not all green consumers are the same, they're not all motivated by the same messages and they're not all inclined to buy only green products."
The study, called Green Living Pulse, got these responses:
While the study detected some demographic tendencies, it found that green consumers aren't easily defined by their age, income or ethnicity. They generally share one of two mindsets: The Engaged Green Mindset and the Mainstream Green Mindset. The former is marked by optimism, extroversion, and a propensity to try new things -- and is more likely to respond to themes of innovation and possibility. The latter is more pessimistic, introverted and apt to like things known and tried – responding to themes of security and reliability.
The study showed that knowledge does not always lead to behavior. Individuals who answered all of the science questions correctly did report participating in a significantly higher average number of green activities -- such as driving a fuel-efficient car or lowering their thermostat. However, the 25-34 age group consistently answered the questions correctly, yet, on average, their green activity levels were lower than those of older respondents.
The Shelton Group, founded in 1991, is an advertising agency located in Knoxville, Tenn., focused exclusively on motivating mainstream consumers to make sustainable choices.

Two Sneaky Things That Cause Cravings
You're going along with your fitness routine, making progress and yet, you keep derailing your progress by giving in to cravings for junk.
The reason behind these cravings can get quite complex. It could be that as a whole, your eating habits are not consistently balanced and right and this definitely causes cravings because the body is trying to compensate for lack of correct nutrition.
But, there are two really sneaky factors that often go unchecked when people are experiencing cravings.
#1 Dehydration
Dehydration is a HUGE component affecting the body's cravings for things that sabotage your fat loss results. Dehydration is not just something that happens to people after walking through the desert for 3 days. Keep reading, because if you are not doing the following, you are probably dehydrated and don't even know it.
Drink at minimum of 12 oz of water right when you wake up. FIRST. Before coffee or any other thing hits your stomach. (I personally drink 20 oz right away, and can't function with any less.) This helps break the fast of lack of water all night long. (If you don't already do this, once you start, after just a few days, you will wonder how you ever LIVED any other way. Trust me.)
In addition to hydrating your system upon awakening, you need to drink another 12-16 oz of water with every meal and every snack (so that's at least 5-7 times a day). Foods also have a degree of hydration factor because they have water in them, so adding fresh fruit and veggies to your meals only helps.
This might seem like a lot of water each day, but, actually…it's NOT. You need to know, trust, and believe that if you aren't doing this and you start, you will quickly realize how bad you felt prior to this routine and never look back. You'll feel amazing, consistently throughout the day. There's nothing as wonderful and magical as clear, refreshing water!
Note: any other liquids you consume don't count towards the above requirements for water. If you do consume other liquids, they are just extra, but, don't count them as "water."
#2 Sleep deprivation
Not getting enough sleep is a powerful thing. It not only makes you irritable and tired (obviously) but it does cause your body to have cravings. This is the body desperately seeking a source of energy. A lack of sleep will cause the body to need MORE than usual calories to function than it would need if you'd gotten enough sleep.
TRUE STORY: I've had bouts of nights here and there where I tossed and turned all night for whatever reason, and woke up feeling like a zombie. I can tell you that the day was directly affected with a severe need to eat more than usual. On those types of days it would seem that I couldn't get enough fuel. It also made me want to reach for fried foods, and candy, NOT grilled chicken and broccoli!
Listen, sleep is repair time. If you don't get enough of it, you need to figure out why. This WHY is different for each person. But they often have fairly simple solutions.
- too much caffeine (stop drinking 8 energy drinks a day)
- anxiety (will this issue matter when you're 90? If not, let it go and go to sleep!)
- a sucky pillow (seriously, buy a good pillow. You're worth it.)
- alcohol can cause 'light' sleep instead of deep sleep (Switch to hot tea if you need something to wind down every night)
- your spouse snores (get earplugs and save your marriage & sanity)
- no self-control to turn off the TV…(get a DVR if the show is that important)
- "I'm used to getting no sleep. I'm fine." (denial is an ugly thing.)
Whatever it is: you need to make your body's sleep cycle a priority.
A multitude of things are fixed by an extra hour of sleep each night. You can't rely on just sleeping in once in a while to "make up" for consistent lost sleep. That would be as looney as working out for 12 hours in one day and expecting that to make up for all the times that month you didn't work out at all. It's consistently that makes the difference. So, if you're getting less than 7 hours of sleep consistently, move that number up to 7.5 – 8 and see what happens. I promise it will be more than a miraculous change in your quality of life.
Proper hydration and establishing a better sleep pattern take more than one day to fix. You will notice improvements after a just few days, and then more after a few weeks. After a month, you'll probably notice that you look younger and your cravings have significantly decreased if not vanished!
Combine this with eating right every day and you are practically a new person! It's a wonderful way to live! I never have that afternoon slump most people talk about. No lie.

Stephen Hackett of 512pixels.net fame used to work as an Apple Genius and he's chosen to share his exploits and adventures behind the glass, wood, and aluminum curtain in Bartending: Memoirs of an Apple Genius. He's also used his considerable prowess as a writer to do so in insightful, humorous form. Here's the teaser, and it's a good one:
Being one of the most successful companies in the world has made anything Apple-related newsworthy and special, including working in its retail stores. The truth is that selling computers at the Apple Store isn't that much different from selling them anywhere else, but it is better.
It's better because Apple is different than most other companies. Despite its monstrous success and growth the last few years, the company has not lost its focus on providing excellent experiences for its customers.
The Apple Store is the place where those experiences are made far better or far worse. Being on the front lines means gathering some great war stories. Stephen is here to share a few of his.
From the opening salvo of a young college student who ruined a MacBook in the most unfortunate way, to the trials and tribulations of being on the front end of the iPhone 3G and the MobileMe launch, Hackett pulls few punches. By the end of the book, the Apple Genius will be a little less mysterious, a little more human, and every bit as impressive.
Bartending: Memoirs of an Apple Genius is available now in Amazon Kindle and ePub (iBooks compatible) formats for just $4.99.

Here's some simple ingredients that changed my dorm life and probably my slammin' teenage figure.
– 1 iron
– about a 1 square foot of tin foil
– 2 pats of butter
– 2 slices of hearty whole wheat (mine was seeded)
– a little under 4 tbsp of shredded serious cheeses
– 1 tbsp grated Comte
– 1 tbsp grated Gruyere
– 1 tbsp grated Ossau Iraty
– .5 tbsp crumbled Stilton (or some yummy blue)
To begin, Plug in your iron and put it in a safe spot. I know you probably don't have a lot of room, but this is very important, burns are the worst. If it has a steaming option, turn it off and set it to the highest heat setting (which is usually labeled cotton).
From here, lay out your tin foil and butter one piece of bread. Flip it so the butter is face down.
Now pile on your cheeses! I know I definitely didn't have enough money to buy fancy cheeses like these while I was enrolled in college (and to be honest, I still don't have enough money!) and I'm not even sure if they had these delicacies available in Tallahassee (besides Sweet Grass Dairy which I didn't even know about until I was a senior..sad face).
I should have totally thought about this before I did this post… BUT OH WELL. I think it would be just as good with a Kraft single, some provolone and swiss, and maybe even a slice of muenster if you're extra fancy or go to an ivy league school or something like that.
Now simply place the other piece of bread on top and butter it!
Now fold up the tin foil to create a little alien spaceship home for your sandwich. These silver packets can function as really fun and playful weapons to use when your suite-mates* are getting out of hand. You can chuck it at them in anger without hurting them and as soon as they realize what hit them in the back of the head – you're forgiven because of the warm gooey cheesy mess that's about to grace their
state college oh-so-refined palette.
Now when your is iron piping hot go ahead and place it on top and apply some pressure. After about five minutes, carefully (it's freaking burning hot) check to see if the bread is starting to crisp up. It took me about 5-6 minutes for each side.
I've heard you can also do this without the tinfoil, but at the time when I learned this method I didn't want to risk having any my beautiful Forever 21 garments spotted with butter stains. But to be completely honest, this was probably the most action my iron got during those days. And to be even more honest, I couldn't even tell you the last time I ironed anything. I really love the wrinkle release spray stuff. It saves my life or at least my appearance.
After it's all cooked up, go ahead and gently open up your packet. I think it's best to take out the grilled chee
se right away because it gets kind of soggy if it stays all cooped up.
Now this method isn't only for dorm room residents. It also works really well in hotels, apartments with gross kitchens, bus stations, train terminals,
dive bars and so on. As long as you have a plug, you can bring your sandwich pre-wrapped and cook it anywhere. Well almost anywhere, I'm sure the cashiers at Forever 21 might have a problem with it.
Stay tuned for next week, where I present another new and exciting way to cook up a yummy grilled cheese sandwich!

People traffickers kill Orthodox deacons in Sinai Desert | Christian News on Christian Today
These deacons, and so many others, were truly "practicing what they taught."
People traffickers kill Orthodox deacons in Sinai Desert Christian News on Christian Today
Martyrdom is not simply historical; it is as current as today's news.
1 comment:
I meant to comment on this earlier. Thanks for bringing up this topic. Since deacons are more "in the world" I believe that one of our duties as preachers and teachers is to be the ones informing our congregations on the achievements and martyrdoms of brother and sister Christians and Catholics around the world.ReplyDelete
For example, I am always amazed at how little we American Catholics know about the suffering and the heroism of Chaldean Catholics in Iraq. And from what I have read I have realized they feel pretty much abandoned by their fellow Catholics.
Instead of haranguing Catholics about how they should be attending Mass on Sunday--simply telling the dramatic, interesting stories of courageous Catholics around the world who risk their lives to attend Mass can be a better strategy to stimulate spiritual sluggards.

Family Tree Magazine's Top 40 Genealogy Blogs for 2011
Today, I was very pleased to learn that The Scottish Emigration Blog was nominated in not one, but two, categories in the Family Tree Magazine 40 Best Genealogy Blogs for 2011. I feel like an Oscar nominated movie! While it would be silly to thank the Academy, it truly is an honor to be in the company of so many other great blogs.
The Scottish Emigration Blog was nominated in the best "new" blog and best "heritage" blog categories. I am in good company in the latter, as Scottish GENES and a'spaidsearachd agus a'meòrachadhhis, both familiar to readers of this blog, were nominated as well. Of the sixteen blogs nominated in the "heritage" category three are focused on Scottish research and another three on Irish which is suggestive of the continuing importance of the diasporas from these nations.
The official announcement from Family Tree Magazine is here. Thomas MacEntee of Geneabloggers has compiled a useful list of all the nominated blogs and their URLs. Voting is open until December 20th, vote as often as you like here.
The five winners in each of the eight categories will be announced in the July 2011 issue of Family Tree Magazine. The Top 40 Genealogy Blogs of 2011 may not be a glamorous as the Oscars, but it sure is fun.

Bake the Book: 'Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams at Home'
Jeni Britton Bauer opens her new ice cream cookbook by saying that she's never been a fan of homemade ice cream. Coming from the owner of 10 ice cream shops in Ohio and Tennessee, that's pretty understandable. There are times when homemade stuff never measures up flavor or texture wise.
For Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams at Home, Britton Bauer has come up with a revolutionary new way to make ice cream at home—a recipe that acts as the base for all of the splendid ice cream flavors in the book. Britton Bauer's secret to better ice cream at home is a trinity of unlikely ingredients: corn syrup, cream cheese, and cornstarch. And I have to say that using this three-C method produced the best ice cream that's ever come out of my kitchen.
After you've got Britton Bauer's recipe down pat comes the fun part, her genius ice cream flavors. Don't expect to find parlor classic like rocky road and mint chocolate chip in Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams at Home—the recipes within are forward-thinking and creative. We're talking Toasted Brioche Ice Cream with Butter and Jam, Cucumber, Honeydew, and Cayenne Frozen Yogurt, and Riesling Poached Pear Sorbet, all organized seasonally with plenty of extra recipes for making mind-blowing sundae creations.
For the next two weeks we're going to be breaking out the ice cream maker and making the most of the last days of summer with scoops of Sweet Corn and Black Raspberry, Goat Cheese Ice Cream with Roasted Red Cherries, and Sour Beer Sorbet.
Win 'Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams at Home'
Thanks to the generous folks over at Artisan, we are giving away five (5) copies of Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams at Home over the next two weeks.
All you have to do is tell us about the most memorable scoop of ice cream you've ever eaten in the comments section below.

1.02. Christina Rossetti - Selected Poems
Released June 2010
'A poet not of thought or ideas but of emotions' - Michael Schmidt
Christina Rossetti (1830-94) was an English poet. Sister to the great Pre-Raphaelite painter Dante Gabriel Rossetti and niece of Byron's physician John Polidori (author of The Vampyre), Christina wrote poetry from the age of seven. The publication of her most famous collection, Goblin Market and Other Poems (1862), made her a household name and secured her status alongside Elizabeth Barrett Browning as one of the most influential female voices in nineteenth-century poetry.
As her family connections might suggest, Christina Rossetti's work displays not only a strong religious sentiment but also a profound love of fairytale and folklore, laced with a dash of the macabre.
A Better Resurrection * A Birthday * A Royal Princess * At Home * Cousin Kate * Despised and Rejected * Echo * Good Friday * In The Bleak Midwinter * Jessie Cameron * Maude Clare * Remember * Shut Out * Song ['When I am dead'] * Summer Is Ended * The Convent Threshold * The Lowest Place * To Lalla, reading my verses topsy-turvy * Twice * Up-Hill * Winter: My Secret

By R. Colin Johnson
Courtesy of EE Times
PORTLAND, Ore. — Carbon-based memory architectures promise to revolutionize FPGA design, according to the founder of a chip startup.
Startup NuPGA was founded by Zvi Or-Bach, a winner of the EE Times Innovator of the Year Award. He previously founded eASIC and Chip Express. Or-Bach has applied for a patent, along with Rice University, for its carbon-based memory process developed by professor James Tour. The approach uses graphite as the reprogrammable memory element inside vias on otherwise conventional FPGAs.
"Using graphite in the vias as fuse is a very interesting concept," said Dean Freeman, senior analyst at Gartner Inc. "We are going to see a lot of very innovative, creative thinking along these lines in the next five years."
Rice University researchers developed a bulk chemical process that converted nanotubes into nanoribbons, providing the raw material needed to perfect a technique based on using voltage pulses to make or break connections--essentially turning the carbon ribbons into reprogrammable switches. NuPGA plans to harness these reprogrammable switches in FPGAs by inserting graphite into vias between chip layers, allowing them to be reconfigured on-the-fly.
"Graphene can become interesting when it is shaved down to below 10-nanometer widths into ribbon structures, making it much easier to modulate at low voltages," said Tour. "Graphene won't be ready to go head-to-head with Intel until 2015, when lithography dips below that 10-nanometer size. By that time, much of the market could already be using thin films of carbon materials for bulk electronics in places where silicon can't be used today."
By making thin films from his slurries of carbon nanotubes--what he calls "graphene nanoribbons"--Tour perfected the memory architecture to be used in reprogrammable switches in NuPGA's chips. The process allows a voltage pulse to reprogram FPGAs by making or breaking the connection pathway through graphite-filled vias.
A 3.5-volt pulse breaks the connection while a 3-volt signal repairs the break, allowing the device to be switched on and off any number of times. A 1-volt signal allows circuitry to interrogate the memory cell to determine its memory state.
Or-Bach said he plans to created vertical arrays of graphite embedded in the vias that connect the different FPGA layers, allowing voltage pulses to alternately split and repair connections--essentially the same process as "antifuse" FPGAs but with the ability to reprogram the connection.
Or-Bach said NuPGA's graphite-based FPGAs would begin with the graphite elements split, allowing users to heal the antifuse to reconfigure the chip.
The 10-nm-wide ribbons can be densely packed, according to Tour, and can be reprogrammed an indefinite number of times. That could make graphene memories a viable architecture that is insensitive to temperature changes and radiation, Tour added.
"We are also licensing our process for the making of thin-film sheet conductors for ink-jet printing of RFID tags and for other flexible electronic applications," said Tour.

the style of play is a classic space invaders but my idea is to make it more complex with more levels and modes of play.
I leave you the preview link of the game: https://lucaproject.itch.io/heavy-space-retro-i
The game is currently in early access and this is only a small preview of the game.
here you find all the updates made : https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=P ... lymer=true
Post updating if you have any advice / ideas on how to improve this project are well except the criticisms are well except that they are constructive, I know that as an idea may be unoriginal but I assure you that I play them retro and even if they seem trivial to me it turns out that they are extremely funny because they are within everyone's reach.
Soon I will also update the game directly with level 2.
Oh I forgot, if you know some good site for retro effects and you want to recommend it just have a public domain license.
Thank you all for the support!

Google pushed out a substantial update for Google Glass just last week, along with making the headset available to all to buy for one day — and they're following up with another update this week that will enable new functionality. iPhone users will see their text messages show up in their notifications, and all Glass users will get to see their calendar in front of their right eyeball.
Those that happen to be using both an iPhone and Google Glass will now be able to view text message notifications on their Glass. Simply enabling Show Notifications in the Bluetooth settings on the iPhone will send those alerts to Glass. But, unlike with Android and its obviously deeper integration with Glass, iPhone users won't be able to reply to those text messages through Glass.
For all users, MyGlass app will be updated with a new Calendar Glassware. Enabling it will put your calendar agenda to the left of the Glass home screen. Calendar cards can be tapped to made edits, RSVP, and remove events from your Glass timeline.
The updates for MyGlass for iPhone and MyGlass for Android are expected later this week.

This blog discusses current weather, weather prediction, climate issues, and other topics

Indian Summer
Well, let me first document that we have had some cool weather--in fact the last two weeks have generally been cooler than normal, and last night there was a real chill in the air (I know about this personally, I was out searching for my lost dog in Mountlake Terrace). Here are the temps at Sea-Tac airport compared to the normal highs and lows:
Today (Friday) there will be considerable clouds and some light sprinkles, particularly in the central Cascades.
Saturday will be sunny and warmer...very nice...but you won't mistake it for summer--Indian or otherwise.
Sunday a weak trough will bring cooling and lots of clouds (maybe a bit of sun)
But Monday starts the warm-up and Tuesday it will be in full bloom. Want to see some weather maps? (of course you do!) Here is the upper level (500 mb) chart for Tuesday morning at 5 AM. Wow...big ridge over us...and a trough over CA that is working its way north.
Here is the sea level pressure, surface winds, and lower atmosphere temperatures at the same time. Good offshore flow with higher pressure east of the Cascades and lower pressure west of the mountains. You will notice a low pressure area near the Oregon/CA border.
With offshore flow, there will be virtually no clouds and air will be compressed as it sinks from higher elevations. Here are the predicted surface (really 2-meter) air temperatures at 2 PM on Tuesday. Temperatures above 70F over land, particularly on the eastside of western Washington and along the coast, downstream of the Olympics. Expect the warmest temperatures in the foothills...like North Bend and Issaquah.
So get your bathing suit ready, Tuesday will be your day. I suspect this will be our last excursion into the 70s this year...better enjoy it.
* Sequim dropped below freezing on Wednesday night.

"During the last two weeks only one day had max temps above normal and most were far below."
Yeah, but on the other hand only one night had a min temp below average.
I think min temps are important because they affect how cold the house becomes at night and often the furnace comes on.
When I look at that chart, I see few extremes, but basically normal conditions.

The most effective missing dog poster I've seen was giant and visible to passing motorists on a busy street. I think they did it on butcher block paper. It had a giant picture of the dog and then a huge phone number. They found the dog. I know this because I had seen the dog earlier in the day and called them to let them know where. I really hope you find your pup this weekend!

I would sure like to feel 70 next week. The NWS and WeatherChannel are forecasting low to mid 60s for Tuesday. They do capture the warming trend. I hope Cliff gets this right.
and hopefully then he'll be home with Leah.

My thoughts are with you, Cliff. My darling Ginger passed away in June, the only thing I can imagine that could be worse is what your family and Leah have gone through.
I walked Terrace Creek Park on Monday with a pocketful of treats hoping I'd catch a glimpse of her. Here's hoping today is the day she comes home!

MCA will not become part of government at any level if the party's performance in the next general election is worse than what happened in 2008, said MCA president Chua Soi Lek.oh dear

oh dear-oh dear-oh dear
its not like MCA has any role in deciding the decision, but let us not forget that they play the role of being the messengar, the explainer and the kena marah, kena hentam spineless boys.
with MCA out of the "government", who's going to explain UMNO decided policies to the Chinese?
oh dear-oh dear-oh dear

We've seen renderings, images and even a video highlighting the screen assembly on the Nokia Lumia 928 that is destined for Verizon. We are now hearing rumors that Nokia will officially announce the Lumia 928 on April 25th with availability in stores a few weeks later.
The Lumia 928 is expected to sport a 4.5" Super AMOLED screen and an 8.7MP OIS Pureview camera. Basically, a lighter, slightly redesigned version of the Lumia 920.
As far as the accuracy of the April 25th date, we'll stay on the fence with that one for now. Luckily, the rumored date is only a week away and in the meantime we'll shake the bushes to see what more we can discover about the 928's release date.
