Zdekauer's company exported pieces to American and Dutch Colonies before it was bought by another company. The mark was changed to M Z Altrolau in 1909 when the firm was purchased by C. M. Hutschenreuther. The firm operated under the name Altrolau Porcelain Factories from 1909 to 1945. It was nationalized after World War II. The pieces were decoated with lavish patterns and overglaze gold decoration. Full sets of dishes were made as well as vases, toilet sets and other wares. As with all of my auctions, there is never a reserve, and I am always happy to combine multiple ... read more

Sliding doors come in a variety of types. Some are "pocket doors" which are interior sliding doors that are concealed in a wall pocket when open. Other sliding doors are made of aluminum and glass and are usually designed for entry in and out of a home. Most often, these glass sliding doors are on the rear of the home and lead to a back yard or pool. Occasionally, these sliding doors leak and need to be repaired.
Things You'll Need
- Weather stripping
- Door flashing
- Putty knife
- Rag
- Caulk
- Caulking gun
- Clear coat door and window sealer
Test the door for the location of the leak. Aim a garden water hose with a sprayer set on mist or low at the outside of the sliding door. Spray the door, and look for the leak location. If you cannot re-create the leak problem, inspect the interior of the door for stains or rust.
Check the weatherstripping or flashing. Weatherstripping and flashing are rubber insulators located on the bottom of the sliding door that secure the gap between the threshold and bottom of the door. Replace damaged weatherstripping or flashing by removing the old and attaching new weatherstripping with screws or adhesive.
Check the doorjamb and the frame surrounding the door. Inspect the doorjamb and door frame for worn or damaged caulk. If worn or damaged, scrape away with a putty knife. Wipe the area with a rag and apply new caulk with a caulking gun.
Check the glass seal. In some cases, the seal between the door frame and the glass will decay. Apply a clear coat door and window sealer or caulking.

YOUNGSTERS have raised £1,000 for a charity close to their hearts.
Pupils at Crookham Infants collected the money for Cancer Research UK, a particularly poignant charity as the school's headteacher Gill Lockie is currently undergoing chemotherapy treatment.
The youngsters raised the money from a collection at their nativity play and from donations for the chance to wear party clothes to school just before Christmas.
"Everyone has been extremely generous and for a small school the amount raised is astonishing," said Julia Griffin, finance officer at the school in Gally Hill Road, Church Crookham.
"Some children even emptied their money boxes for the collection."
The school was so proud of its efforts that it organised a special cheque presentation to Clare Cannock, community fundraiser for Cancer Research UK. Staff and pupils were also delighted that Mrs Lockie was well enough to attend the ceremony and help present the cheque.

OTTAWA, Sep 22 (Reuters) Canada shifted closer to an early general election today when the leader of a major opposition party threatened to vote against the government unless it met a string of demands Ottawa is likely to reject.
The minority Conservative government, which says it wants to stay in power until late 2009, faces a vote of confidence in Parliament next month and can only survive with the help of an opposition party.
The separatist Bloc Quebecois has kept the government in power by supporting the 2006 and 2007 budgets. But leader Gilles Duceppe said today the Conservatives must meet five nonnegotiable conditions to get his backing again.
These include respecting the Kyoto protocol on climate change, something Prime Minister Stephen Harper says is impossible. Harper was to unveil his government's plans on October 16 in the so-called speech from the throne.
Duceppe outlined his demands and then said: ''We're waiting for the speech from the throne. Be ready. If these things aren't in it, we'll be having an election.'' Harper spokeswoman Sandra Buckler said Duceppe, who seeks independence for French-speaking Quebec, should not be reckless by threatening an election she insisted Quebecers do not want.
Three by-elections in Quebec last week showed support for the Bloc is slipping, in part because some supporters are unhappy about Duceppe's past backing of Harper.
If legislators defeat the speech from the throne, an election will be triggered automatically.
ANOTHER MINORITY GOVERNMENT? The Conservatives now hold just 126 of the 308 seats in Parliament, and polls show the most likely result of an election would be another minority Conservative government.
''The Bloc Quebecois fully intends -- and is very willing -- to stand up to defend Quebec's interests in Ottawa,'' Duceppe said in a speech in the Quebec town of Rimouski.
''And if the result of standing up for Quebec is a general election, we'll be on the road. And we'll win,'' he added.
The left-leaning New Democrats, who hold the balance of power, say there is little chance they will back the speech from the throne. Sources inside the official opposition Liberal Party were equally downbeat.
Unless one of the three opposition parties blinks, the government could fall in late October, triggering an election in late November or early December.
Harper has been wooing Quebec for years and won power in January 2006, unexpectedly snapping up 10 of the province's 75 seats in the federal Parliament. Conservatives are confident they can do better next time around.
Duceppe also said he wants federal support for Quebec's struggling forestry industry and a firm commitment that the Canadian military mission in Afghanistan would end as scheduled in February 2009.
The other demands are continued support for the agriculture sector and a promise by Ottawa to eliminate federal spending in areas Duceppe said were the responsibility of Canada's 10 provinces.
The Liberals have 96 seats in the federal Parliament, the Bloc 49 and the New Democrats 30. There are three independent legislators and four vacant seats.

Gastric sleeve or gastric balloon
Iam 42 years old. Weigh 173 n 5'5" tall. I've been diabetic for 24 years since 1992! Iam on insulin pump. I hear gastric sleeve might take away my diabetes. If this is so I would do the gastric sleeve in a second! But since my bmi is only about 28-29 I'm contemplating if the balloon would be better for me. Which one should I do?

After Donald Trump doxxed Lindsey Graham by giving out Graham's phone number at a public and televised event, the South Carolina Senator reacted in a way most didn't expect.
First he took to social media and had a sense of humor about it.
Probably getting a new phone. iPhone or Android?
— Lindsey Graham (@LindseyGrahamSC) July 21, 2015
Then Graham made an instructional video with IJ Review about techniques for destroying your cell phone.
It appears that Donald Trump did Lindsey Graham a bit of a favor when he betrayed Graham's trust and released his personal phone number to the public. Graham has been able to showcase his personal side from this situation. Before this, many Republican primary voters' definition of Graham had been of John McCain's sidekick. This has given Graham the ability to walk out of that shadow a bit.
There is one puzzling piece to this puzzle. Rather than having a South Carolina phone number, Graham had a Washington, DC number.
Do you think Graham's phone number is reflective of his residency? Please comment below.

The Decay of Twitter by Robinson Meyer, The Atlantic
Geege Schuman stashed this in Twitter
Stashed in: Twitter!, Awesome, internet, Communication, Social Media
That is an amazingly dope picture to illustrate Twitter's demise. Sometimes overeducated essayists can be quite witty!
It wasn't me, Geege! There's quite a bit of evidence that Twitter is doubling down on their "pop stars and sporting events" strategy, which hasn't worked after years of trying and in fact doesn't even seem to be working that well for Snapchat any more either. What's the definition of insanity... ?
Joyce, I took that as the point of your Medium post that Twitter should not double down like that:
The Atlantic article is more lamenting that Twitter is not fun these days, despite doubling down on celebrities and sports.
Oh I KNOW THIS ONE! But "doing the same thing, expecting different results" is also "believing a blog strategy can be static." Bloggers are ephemeral, fickle, easily bored, seek novelty. I don't know how you pivot, pivot, pivot without eventually doing a 360.
The Atlantic article hypothesizes that Twitter the network is self limiting by being public and quotable out of context:
Do other things get smooshed on Twitter? Definitely. The public and the privatesmoosh, as do the personal and professional. I'd even argue that subjectivity and objectivity get smooshed—consider the Especially Serious Journalists who note that "RTs are not endorsements." But understanding Twitter as an online space that, for a long time, drew its energy from the tension between orality and literacy, and that—in its mid-life—has moved more decisively toward one over the other, works for me as a model of its collapse.
This tension also explains, to me, why the more visual social networks have stayed fun and vibrant even as the text-based ones have not. Vine, Pinterest, and Instagram don't traffic in words, which can be reduced to identity-based magnum opi, but in images, which are a little harder to smoosh. Visual conversations have stayed chatty, in other words.
When I emailed Stewart to ask about these ideas, though, she wasn't as sure.
"I think that has as much to do with cultural norms of the platforms and particularly with media usage/surveillance of the platforms," she said. "I'm not sure Twitter's volatility is inherent to Twitter's use of the written word so much as it's how Twitter relates to the written word."
She continued:
I think visibility has a lot to do with it. Media surveillance of Twitter to create (not just disseminate) news, the way hashtags allow strangers to gather and galvanize over areas of shared interest, the fact that the stream or feed is made up of a constant flow of discrete speech acts with limited context […]—all these things made it feel like a powder keg in hot weather a year ago.
Now, it's just Twitter. It's a space where all contexts are collapsed and all ideas can be mob-amplified or end up pulled for a Buzzfeed article. And I've adjusted accordingly and I am careful about what I say and some of that is good because frankly the world does not need to hear me pronounce on every single thing I don't know much about. Twitter's affordances still render it powerful—but that very power and capacity to curry visibility, both within its own space and within broader media spaces, also render it challenging.
In the final paragraphs of this article, let me assert something I have very little data to support: At some point early last year, the standard knock against Twitter—which had long ceased to be "I don't want to know what someone's eating for lunch"—became "I don't want everyone to see what I have to say." The public knows about conversation smoosh, and that constitutes, I think, a major problem for Twitter the Company. New products like Moments—which collects tweets, images, and video into little summaries—are not going to fix that.
I'm not sure anything can fix it, honestly. But I wonder if Twitter can't arrange a de-smooshing, at least a little bit, by creating more forms of private-ness on the site. Separating the private and the public could, in turn, delineate "speech-like" and "print-like" tweets. Twitter's offered locked accounts for a long time, but it has always been default public. (For a few early years, a pane on Twitter.com displayed every tweet.) Making it so an individual tweet's publicness can be toggled on or off might help users feel more comfortable spending time there. And pushing new users toward secret accounts that can toggle individual tweets public might even allay some of their fears.

WRAPUP 1 -Ebola spreads exponentially in Liberia, many more cases soon-WHO
* Half of all epidemic deaths in Liberia
* UN chief Ban calls EU, British, French, Cuban leaders
* US, Britain deploy military teams to tackle outbreak
* MSF says resources must be deployed faster
* Infected WHO doctor to be evacuated from Sierra Leone (Adds WHO statement, US and British deployment, MSF comments)
By Stephanie Nebehay and Umaru Fofana
GENEVA/FREETOWN, Sept 8 (Reuters) - Liberia, the country worst hit by West Africa's Ebola epidemic, should see thousands of new cases in coming weeks as the virus spreads exponentially, the World Health Organisation (WHO) said on Monday.
The epidemic, the worst since the disease was discovered in 1976, has killed some 2,100 people in Guinea, Sierra Leone, Liberia and Nigeria and has also spread to Senegal.
The WHO believes it will take six to nine months to contain and may infect up to 20,000 people. In Liberia, the disease has already killed 1,089 people - more than half of all deaths reported since March in this regional epidemic. Continued...

The theory of self-reproductive molecular systems involves the consequence that translation must have started from a selected distribution of RNA molecules, that comprised GC-rich sequences of a length < 100 nucleotides. This implies a joint function of messenger and adaptor, which both had to be recruited from the same mutant distribution. The reconstruction of tRNA precursors yields such a molecule showing some reverberation of a codon pattern GNC. These findings suggest that tRNA has been the earliest component of the translation machinery.

Brendan Costin celebrated his new two-year contract with the Giants, by scoring a try and four goals.
They are now only one point behind next-to-bottom Wakefield.
The Wildcats, however, are appealing against a two-point penalty imposed on them for salary cap irregularities.
Giants coach Tony Smith insisted Huddersfield had to concentrate on their own game rather than worry about what may happen with Wakefield.
He said: "We just have got to contend with our own games."
"I was very happy with the character that my side showed and the defence cannot be faulted."
Rea said: "I was very disappointed and I wouldn't argue it was our worst performance of the season.
"We made a lot of mistakes early on and it was very hard from there on in."

The comparison rates displayed are for the amounts and terms quoted, based on monthly principal and interest repayments, on a secured basis for secured loans and an unsecured basis for unsecured loans, and apply only to these examples. Different amounts and terms will result in different comparison rates. Full comparison rate schedules are available from lenders.

What's so good about having a fixed rate car loan?
If you don't like change, then it's pretty good. Bendigo Bank can't hike your rate at any point during the loan term, so you are protected from fluctuations in the market. Usually, fixed rates spell inflexibility, but this loan is an exception, with a tiny break cost (around $25), fee-free extra repayments and a redraw facility. With a competitive rate too, you could say it's a win-win.
Should I pick a secured loan?
Yes, do it! That is, if you don't mind signing a dotted line allowing Bendigo to claim your car if you default on your loan. In return, you'll score the lowest rate the bank can offer you.
What type of cars are eligible for the green car loan?
All vehicles with 5 star energy ratings can qualify for the lower rate loan.
Are there any borrowing minimums or limits?
Yes, Bendigo has a decent car lending range as loans can start from $2k. There is no specified limit.
What would a car loan repayment look like?
Let's do some maths. Say you bought a regular vehicle for $30k and secured it to a Bendigo Bank car loan with a 5 year term. Based on the comparison rate at the time of writing, you would be making loan repayments worth $284 each fortnight. We came up with this figure using our nifty car loan repayment calculator.
What if I want to make extra repayments?
You can do it without being charged a fee and choose to redraw any extra repayments via a redraw facility.
What could my car loan term potentially look like?
It could range from 1 to 7 years. Choose a term to compliment your budget (a.k.a how much you want your loan repayments to be).
What about clearing my debt before the loan term ends?
You'll need to pay a small penalty fee.
Say I wanted to dip into extra repayments. Could I do that?
Yes, as mentioned earlier, Bendigo Bank has a redraw facility. Be mindful, there may be a minimum amount you must redraw per transaction.
What about second-hand cars?
You can buy a preloved car with a secured Bendigo loan, provided it is in good condition for resale. For the finer points on purchasing used cars, contact the bank.
So what happens if I make a late repayment or miss one?
It's never advisable to miss a car loan repayment, but things happen. Bendigo may charge you a fee, and too many late repayments can damage your credit score.
What do I need to apply?
A few personal details for Bendigo Bank such as your salary, home address and driver's licence number. If you have any outstanding debts or own assets, make sure you let them know. When it comes to applying, you can visit a Bendigo branch or give the bank a call. Probably the most convenient way to apply is from the comfort of your own home online. You should hear back from Bendigo with the outcome of your application in a couple of business days.

Fishermen accused of killing journalist
Human rights groups say charges and verdict were politically motivated
Journalistic death toll for the year reaches 99
Reporter who exposed illegal logging bludgeoned to death
Government orders closures because papers insulted ministry of information
Should journalists honour their word to a mass murderer?Roy Greenslade
Pol Pot's second-in-command was filmed confessing to appalling crimes but a journalist and film-maker refuse to give his prosecutors their footage
Twenty-two cases of violence against journalists in Cambodia were recorded in the second half of 2008 and the first two months of 2009, according to the Club of Cambodian Journalists. These included cases in which journalists were detained and also incidents involving "individuals, groups, authorities and court institutions." (Via Phnom Penh Post)
Cambodian journalist Khim Sambo and his son have been shot dead as tension grows prior to next month's elections. Khim was a reporter for Moneakseka Khmer (Khmer Conscious) and it is thought he was killed because of his work at the paper, which is allied with the government opposition. The murder follows the June 8 arrest of the editor-in-chief Dam Sith. (Via IFJ)
Dam Sith, editor-in-chief of Cambodia's opposition-aligned, Khmer-language daily newspaper Moneakseka Khmer, has been charged with defamation and spreading disinformation. He is being held in communicado. His supposed defence is to have reported a speech by opposition politician Sam Rainsy. (Via CPJ)
A Cambodian newspaper editor was seriously injured when he was knocked from his motorcycle following a car chase. Khuon Phlay Vy edits and writes for the weekly Sakal in Phnom Penh. The hit-and-run happened soon after he had been threatened in a phone call from a man complaining about an article involving an illegal gambling den. (Via SEAPA)
Two Australian businessmen, Ross Dunkley and Bill Clough , who have media interests in Burma, have purchased a controlling interest in the fortnightly Phnom Penh Post, Cambodia's best known English-language newspaper and its most independent. The paper was launched in 1992 by an American, Michael Hayes, who plans to stay on as editor-in-chief for another 18 months. (Via The Australian)

CJ2-A Engine Removal
Can somebody walk me through or point me to a walk through of how to remove an engine from a CJ-2A. How much do these things weigh? Thanks so much for the help!
I had engines in and out of my old 1942 Jeep a number of times. Fortunately I had a big tree in the front yard. I'd pull the fenders and radiator/grill . Then I'd disconnect the drivelines and with a chain hoist tied to a big tree limb I'd pull out the whole works at once. Once it was out in the open I'd take off the transfer case and transmission and lower the engine into my pickup or whatever. I had a flathead in it originally the later a 'F' head. With the transmission and transfer case off 2 guys could move it on the ground but it was too heavy to lift by hand.
I second pulling the front sheet metal, How about renting a cherry picker? They've come way down in price maybe you can pick up a used one. as to walking you through it. take lots of pictures ask us lots of questions and you be fine!
Remove the front clip and you won't need to lift near as high to get it out. Before I built an A frame to pull engines I used a tree, and then later I used a tractor with a bucket to pull the engine.
I would think you could find a pretty inexpensive engine hoist on Craigslist. Use it, then re-sell it if you don't need to keep it!

when to visit iceland
The best time to visit Iceland will depend upon what people really want to see. Many people are going to want to go to Iceland in order to see the Northern Lights. For these people, it's a good idea to travel to Iceland between the months of September and March.
Naturally, people are going to have to deal with the colder weather in Iceland during those months, but if they're careful to go to Iceland in September or in March, it's going to be that much easier for them to get the best of both worlds. People who want to see the Northern lights very clearly on particularly dark nights are encouraged to visit in late November through January, which will really allow the Northern lights to stand out for people. This link will tell you more on Iceland in winter.
Some people are curious about the midnight sun of Iceland. These people are going to have to visit Iceland in June or July. They'll be bathed in the Arctic light until around the month of August. Iceland is going to have the advantage of being fairly warm during this point in time, at least relatively, and people really can party all night long.
Iceland is a great place to go whale watching in order to see killer whales, but given the migratory patterns of the whales, people are going to need to wait for February or March in order to catch glimpses of the whales around the Icelandic coastline. There are no guarantees when it comes to whale watching, but there are moments where whale watching will be much more likely.
People who really want to see everything might feel as if there is no best time to travel to Iceland. They might feel that all of these attractions are good in their own way. There is almost always going to be something great to see in the unique climate of Iceland.

This album illustrates the last major Imperial hunt at Belovezha in 1912.
Known as Belavezhskaya-Pushcha, this ancient forest is located in the border region spanning Belarus and Poland. It is one of the largest remaining parts of the immense primeval forest which once spread across the European plain and is the only remaining native habitat of the European bison.
A Royal hunting ground from the 14th century, it became the hunting reserve of the Romanov family, who built the lodge (completely destroyed during the second world war, apart from the stables) where Imperial hunts where frequently organized. The last photograph depicts the famous monument of a bison, commemorating the hunt of Tsar Alexander II on the 6th and 7th of October 1860, when the Emperor shot 10 bison, 2 elk, 10 goats, 8 gazelles, 5 wolves, 5 foxes and one badger.

The workers at the Home Depot are known for being experts in painting, drilling, and hammering. Well, you can now add party planning to that list. Here's what happened.
Five-year-old Joshua Hagerty, from Modesto, California, asked his mother for a birthday party at his favorite place, the Home Depot. Joshua suffers from multiple physical ailments, including heart and kidney problems, for which he has had 15 surgeries so far in his short lifetime. His mother, Jennifer, contacted the Home Depot to see if she could pick up workshop sets to have the Home Depot-themed party at her home.
Store manager Kevin Baum called her back to say they would take it a step further. The employees threw Joshua a birthday party at their store, complete with balloons, Lego sets, goody bags, workshop kits, and even a hammer-shaped cake. Employees pitched in with their own money to fund the party and gifts to make Joshua's birthday dreams come true. At the end of the day, the grateful guest of honor said it was his "best birthday ever."
The reason this story has gotten the public's attention is not because of the Home Depot; it is because Jennifer has asked for help to thank the store and its employees. Here's our part to help — thank you to Home Depot store #6601 of Modesto! You guys rock!

London, Jun 23 : Welsh actor Rhys Ifans has denied that he is finding it difficult to cope with his split from Sienna Miller.
He was overheard telling friends at a lavish charity bash at London's Ronnie Scott's that he had moved on, and spent most of the night being chatted up by beautiful women.
"I'm over her and doing fine," Daily Mirror quoted him as saying.
The actor was seen to have been enjoying himself immensely all evening, with only his encounter with the persistent photographers casting a bit of gloom to his night out.
Assuring a male friend at the party, Ifans said: "Don't worry about me - everything is OK."
When a stunning blonde walked up to him and whispered in his ear, Ifans jokily said: Maybe later darling... but that's quite an offer."
The 39-year-old actor partied until 12.45am with stars including actress Gwyneth Paltrow, TV host Bruce Forsyth, designer Stella McCartney, comic David Walliams, and singer Nick Cave.
"There were loads of women going up to him all night and trying to get his attention," said one partygoer.
"He certainly looked like the cat that got the cream. But, to be honest, he was more interested in chatting to his mates.
"He started out necking Old Jamaica Light cocktails before switching to beer - he sank at least half a dozen bottles. He was in a great mood," the partygoer added.

About the Time I Was Reprimanded by Ryan (F*cking) Gosling
By Michael Murray | Think Pieces | May 18, 2012 | Comments ()
By Michael Murray | Think Pieces | May 18, 2012 |
The other day while pausing on the sidewalk waiting for Rachelle-- who was in a store shopping-- another cyclist came up behind me. He was pulling a little cart behind him and his eyes were large, as if in the midst of a roller coaster panic.
"Space!" he shouted at me.
I did not know exactly what that meant, but figured it must be a common expression used by cyclists. I moved my bike onto the street and tried to make myself as small as possible.
"Space, space!!" he shouted again.
And then he stopped his bike exactly where mine had been, took off his helmet and said, "Sir, where can I weld? Do you know the welding place? It is here, no?"
We were maybe ten yards apart and so I had to yell back to him, but my voice, thin and raspy at the best of times, was lost to the industry of the city. So I got closer to him, but still found myself yelling and for whatever reason, over enunciating each word, as if I had to really concentrate in getting my words right.
"I know nothing of welding!" I yelled back, "I am waiting for my wife!"
"I like to rest in the sun, too! Do you like to weld?"
It was apparent that the man I was speaking with had a mental disability, and it was while I was in the midst of this exchange that my wife came out of the store with our groceries. As I was putting on my new cycling gloves, Rachelle looked over at me, "You know how this looks, don't you?" I told her that I did and we cycled home in silence, her on the street and me, occasionally ringing my bell to alert pedestrians, on the sidewalk. Ever since, I have been a lone, cycling wolf.
The other day while riding down a sidewalk in an expensive residential area of the city know at The Annex, a man who was passing by stopped and turned to me.
"You shouldn't be doing that, you know."
Irritated, feeling as if it was impossible for me to catch a break, I turned and looked at him. It was Ryan Gosling.
Ryan. Fucking. Gosling.
It's not enough that he breaks up street fights in Manhattan, but now he has to be the cycling police in Toronto, too?
I have no idea why I said this, but before I knew it I had sneered, " Give me a break, Gosling!"
At this point I was hoping that the faint momentum I had going for me on the bike would keep me gliding by him and that nothing further would come of our encounter. It would become a grand story, a part of my mythology. I would recount again and again for rapt audiences the story of me telling off Ryan Gosling, mister superhero movie star.
But no, he jogged toward me.
"No, I won't give you a break. Either walk your bike or ride on the street like you're supposed to."
I stopped my bike and gave him a sour look, trying to think of something to say.
"Look, I just have one lung, okay?" is what I came up with.
Gosling looked at me, kind of like the way his character in Drive did, "Did you hear me or not?"
I was going to give him the dismissive "Sheesh" sound and ride away, but he'd put his hand on my bike.
"No, no, you're not going to ride away from this. Now just get off the sidewalk, okay? You're a grown man, do the right thing."
I got off my bike and sighed.
"George Clooney wouldn't be do difficult, " I said.
Gosling looked at me and raised his eyebrow, "Oh, yes he would. Have you ever worked with him?" His eyes twinkled and I felt a little bit like I might be falling in love.
"I've written him a few times," I responded dreamily.
"Well, you should just take my word for it and move along."
Slowly, I began to slink my bike away. It was humiliating, this. I turned around and looked back, hopeful that something devastating and witty would come to me, but all I saw was superstar standing there, still watching me, his hands on his hips.
What a dick.
What a fucking dick.
I would throw my bike at him.
It would be a sudden Ninja move.
It would hit him first in the throat and then he would respect me.
And then we would be best friends and my love for him would be filial and not creepy.
Life would be good.
However, throwing my bike at him proved difficult as my allergies were bad and I was hyperventilating a bit (RYAN FUCKING GOSLING!), and so I just kept walking my bike away. I didn't want it to end this way though, and so I stopped and turned around, fully planning on yelling, " "The Notebook was a fucking Jokebook!" but Gosling was gone. Even though the star was nowhere to be seen, I felt his presence and continued to walk my bike down the street, now the slowest, saddest man in the world.

The Earth is facing many serious environmental problems. The global warming problem has reached a point at which action cannot be delayed. It is necessary not only to expect novel technological development but also to create realistic solutions by extending conventional technologies. Tribology has supported various technological developments over the years and has also responded promptly to societal demands for decreasing substances from engineering products that would be hazardous to the environment. As societies aim to become sustainable, tribology needs to be involved and contribute to the solution more than ever before. Environmentally friendly tribology, eco-tribology, through progress in surface modification, is seen to be an effective engineering technology that can contribute very much to sustainable societies. Multi-scale surface texturing, which is a new concept of surface modification for tribo-materials, and diamond-like carbon (DLC) coating technology were introduced as the expected future development.

Saliva from Obese Individuals Suppresses the Release of Aroma Compounds from Wine
Joyce Park stashed this in Fitness
Stashed in: Wine!, Fat!, Health Studies, What Sorcery Is This?, Microbiome, Taste!
To save this post, select a stash from drop-down menu or type in a new one:
Even the microbiome in our SPIT is different for obese vs non-obese humans! Turns out obese spit makes it harder to taste subtle compounds, which might in turn make for different food choices.
Still unclear whether a lower olfactory stimulation due to saliva composition is a co-factor in the development/maintenance of obesity.
Is it correlation or causation? They don't know yet.

Tapas comes in many forms, from traditional to fusion, nouvelle to foam-infused. Here it's self-service pintxos – a Basque variation in which mouthfuls of food are served skewered on little wooden
sticks. Most dishes come on a hunk of bread, & the list ranges from the deliciously unusual (gazpacho & langoustine shot, quince-coated chorizo) to more common offerings such as Ibérico ham
& zucchini, or quail's egg with morcilla – all for a winning £2.50 a pop. As a change from churros, finish with chocolate-coated strawberries & candied tarragon. The bar lends itself to
leisurely, help-yourself grazing, but there is plenty of table space for sit-down meals in the dining room. Friendly waiters know their stuff, & the food is backed by expertly made cocktails
& good Spanish wines.

The 23-year-old Essex batsman was called up for his first Test since last December this week as a replacement for Michael Vaughan, who is taking a break from the game following his tearful resignation as England captain on Sunday.
It is a match where the result may be irrelevant to the outcome of the series but for Bopara is still determined to make his mark and said: "For me it is a fantastic opportunity."
He added: "We know the series is over but it is an opportunity to prove differently.
"We still have pride to play for and if I play it will give me the chance to put something on the board, and go into the winter with something positive under my belt."
The selectors are not due to announce their squad for this winter's tour to India, which comprises seven one-day internationals and two Tests, until after the end of September.
Before then Bopara will also have the one-day series against Sri Lanka to catch the selectors' eyes, but it is in Test cricket where he wants to establish himself after a disappointing start in Sri Lanka before Christmas.
"I don't have many regrets about Sri Lanka, to be fair, it happened all so quickly," he said. "I didn't actually go out and change the way I played - I didn't think I had to change the way I played because it was Test cricket.
"At that time the Sri Lankans were too good for me, it just didn't go the way I imagined it to go and it was because of good pieces of bowling sometimes and other times my own error.
"There were just a couple of things I had to work on because if it comes up in the future I don't want to be found out in that situation. I went away and worked on them."

London, Nov 17 (ANI): A genetic study has suggested that the great white shark may have ended in the Mediterranean after it took a wrong turn 450,000 years ago, from the seas around Australia.
Researchers believe the arrival may have been simply a migratory "wrong turn" by a few pregnant females, brought about by a tumultuous climate between ice ages.
It had previously been assumed that the great whites in the Mediterranean were most closely related to their cousins in the Atlantic Ocean, but a team led by Les Noble of the University of Aberdeen found something else.
They examined several groups of sharks' mitochondrial DNA - genetic material passed through the maternal line that is particularly suited to tracing lineages - and found that the Mediterranean sharks were very different to the Atlantic group and more like sharks from Australia and New Zealand.
Although changes to the DNA in the different populations happen randomly, they do happen with a regular average rate.
And the few differences between the Australian and Mediterranean sharks indicated how long ago they parted ways: 450,000 years ago - a time between ice ages that would have seen many effects of a changing climate.
"That was a time of interglacials, when you would've had all kinds of changes in the currents going down the east and up the western coast of Africa," the BBC quoted Dr Noble as saying.
The team hypothesises that strong, warm currents pushing the sharks northward would have put them far off course.
"They might have gone a considerable way up there before the warmth ran out. Then they start trying to turn east and north and the first place you can go east, of course, is the Straits of Gibraltar," the team said.
Dr Noble explained that perhaps only a few pregnant great whites would have needed to make the journey.
"The reason we still have a genetic signature of that with the great whites is because they're like salmon - where the pups are dropped, they recognise as their home - that's where they always return to," he said.
The findings have been published in Proceedings of the Royal Society B. (ANI)

Behind The Supremes
The most successful American performers of the 1960s, the Supremes for a time rivaled even the Beatles in terms of red-hot commercial appeal. Biographer Mark Ribowsky joins us to get behind classics like "Where Did Our Love Go" and to show how the concept of "blacks singing white" was essential to the evolution of modern music.
Weigh in: What do you think of the Supremes? Who was your favorite Supreme?

Happy Day | Blogiversary | Sale
I get a little emotional about it as each blogiversary rolls around, because I am
so grateful for all of the opportunities blogging has brought to me. I'm ever so grateful for the inspiration I get from others, for the friendships that have developed as a result of this blog, and for the opportunities I've been able to have because of quilting and the amazing people in the quilting world.
Because of this on-line quilting community I have been able to learn so much more quickly than I would have on my own. I truly appreciate every comment of kindness and instruction and have been inspired and motivated by more people than I can count.
I know blogging has changed a bit since I first started. I don't think people leave as many comments as in the earlier days, but we are all so busy...and there are so many forms of social media pulling us in many directions. I do love Instagram for the ability to quickly post, share, and be inspired, but my heart is in my blog. There is just so much more you can say and share in a blog post than in an Instagram post!
My goal for A Quilting Life is to keep working to make it even better--to provide inspiration and instruction and helpful tidbits for quilters at all levels. I hope to share everything I can so that others might come to love and appreciate this wonderful art form and past time. Whether you are new here or have been following along for a longer time, I hope you'll continue on the journey!
Every summer for the past couple of years I have tried to do something to celebrate the blog's anniversary and to express my appreciation to everyone who has helped make it what it is. A couple of years ago I posted the Summer Organizing series, last year I presented the Summer Sampler project, and this year I will have a Scrappy Quilt tutorial (beginning next week). I'm also offering 25% off everything in my Etsy shop with the coupon code AQUILTINGLIFE from now through July 4th.
Thanks so very much for your friendship and support...have a wonderful weekend!
PS...the Simple Small parade of Star Bright mini quilts will be tomorrow!

I love your blog, your photos, your projects, and your tips and instructions you share with us. I get so much inspiration from YOU! You are a very talented designer and quilter and I have to tell you that your blog inspired me to start my blog as a fabric journal. I started my blog as a fabric and quilt journal too. Its nice to have a record of times and quilts that I have made. Its fun too! I agree that a lot of people now I don't think take the time to read blogs, but I do. I love them! And especially yours! I love the four patch quilt by the way, I am also a fan of Fig Tree fabics!

I just started quilting in the last year, but I used to be a prolific blogger about stamping and card making, and I know it is hard work to create content, photograph, and write posts. I rarely have time to comment on blogs or Instagram these days (my kids are 8 & 10 and at their peak "busy-ness"), but I appreciate the time and love you put in to what you post. Also, I am absolutely smitten over the Desert Bloom fabrics! Rarely do I truly love all the fabrics in a collection, but this one is absolute perfection. I can't wait to get my hands on some of it this fall!

Happy anniversary! I'm a fairly new follower and took my first quilting class 40 years ago! Retiring in less than a month and can't wait to improve my skills since working full time and raising 3 busy daughters left no time to sew.
