Remember the brownie bakin' apron?
Well the brownies in question there just happened to be the vegan kind. The lovely HollyGoLightly was curious about the recipe so I though I'd share.
(But before I do I just wanted to say that I think you guys should read this post of Holly's about answering machine messages. It made me instantly pick up my camera and use the Voice Recording function to save the really important messages from our answering machine (the ones from the day Teddy was born etc) so thank you for sharing Holly and I'm so sorry that you lost yours.)
Ok, onwards!
Now, I'm not a vegan, mostly on account of how I think bacon is the most important food group (what do you mean it's not a food group? Sure it is!) But I have a chum who is and it's nice to be able to share the crazy sugar rush when he's over for dinner. That said, these brownies don't actually have THAT much sugar in them (well, until you add a heap of dark chocolate chips and frosting!)
The recipe is from here, with some tweaks made by the folks in the comments and yours truly. This makes a fairly small number of brownies (I use an 8x8 dish but smaller would be better) because if I make more I just eat them. All of them. As fast as possible.
1 cup flour
(a bare) 1/2 cup sugar
8(ish) tbs of cocoa powder
1/2 a tsp baking powder
hefty pinch of salt
1/2 a cup of water (or soy/almond/rice milk)
2 Big tbs of of melted soy margarine (or veggie oil)
1/2 a cup of applesauce
splash of vanilla extract (but I bet almond would be awesome too)
and handful of dark chocolate chips
preheat the oven to 350
Mix the dry stuff in a big bowl.
Add the water and mix some more, then (and I don't know if this has any effect at all) leave it for a few minutes
Then add the marge/oil, vanilla and applesauce give the whole lot a sound and righteous beating.
I grease and flour the dish then stick half the mixture in, toss in the chocolate chips, add the rest of the mixture then whack it in the oven until a toothpick comes out clean (about 25-27 minutes for the 8x8 dish). Holy cow, worlds longest sentence.
And voila. because these don't have eggs in them I let the bear do this:

THANK YOU, and love the little video :) How fun for your bear to be able to have these little glimpses to time travel back to one day when he's a big grown-up man. And thanks for the link, too :) I am still sad I lost those messages (my gram died in November - exactly 4 weeks to the day after my grandpa - her husband of 62 years) - so glad you saved yours. Did you get my emailed chocolate cake recipe?ReplyDelete

Not a great way to do it. The bass body was awkward to hold, and the paint layers around the bottom edge were too thin because of the difficult painting angle.
So, when I recently decided to paint another bass body, I thought it best to make some sort of jig to hold the body during painting.
Here's what I came up with, using materials purchased at the local hardware store:
Here's the assembly that attaches to the base body:
A short length of 1/2" threaded pipe attaches the floor flange to a 1/2" Tee.
Into the Tee is threaded an 18" of 1/2" threaded pipe.
(Tighten down all these joints!)
I also screwed in a 1/2" PVC threaded coupling into the 1/2" Tee, and into this coupling I glued a scrap piece of 1/2" PVC pipe. This the handle I use to rotate the bass body.
Here's what the hook assembly looks like:
I drilled a hole in a 3/4" threaded PVC cap and then attached a hook. A 3/4" x 1/2" PVC bushing is then threaded into the cap.
There's a nut on outside of the cap (see picture above) and a nut on the inside (and you can also see internal threads of the PVC bushing).
Here's the hook assembly screwed onto the end of the 18" pipe:
And here's the body, hanging to dry after I had applied its sealer coat.
Color coat being applied (Volkswagen "Mellow Yellow"):
Another shot of the paint booth. The inexpensive paper awning is thumb-tacked to a wooden arbor and the paper, where the thumb-tacks penetrate, is reinforced with short pieces of duct tape, so that the paper doesn't rip.
That's it!
There's an interesting discussion on the Talkbass forum regarding this jig and others (there are some very clever designs). You can read it here:

The Prairie Village Post Office will relocate from 73rd Terrace later this month, but service should remain the same.
The U.S. Post Office's retail unit, where people drop off mail and buy postage supplies, will move Aug. 18 to the Prairie Village Shopping Center at 6917 Tomahawk Road. Mail carriers will be based out of the postal service's Shawnee Mission office at 6029 Broadmoor St.
Despite the move, delivery service should remain unchanged for Prairie Village residents, said Stacy St. John, a postal service spokesperson said.
The postal service informed the city in 2012 that the office would be relocating to one of six locations; three were in Prairie Village, but the other three were in Overland Park. Mayor Ron Shaffer said city staff worked diligently to convince the postal service to choose a location in Prairie Village. Letters were sent to U.S. Rep. Kevin Yoder and U.S. Sen. Pat Roberts, who Shaffer said helped lobby the postal service to stay in the city.

Shaffer said keeping a post office branch in Prairie Village is important because it's both convenient for residents, and it helps the community keep a hometown feel.
"We want to keep residents close to home, and this is another way to do that." he said.
The move comes as the lease at the current location on 73rd Terrace near Mission Road expires. When leases expire, St. John said, the postal service looks at relocation options that save money without impacting customers.
"It's a good time to evaluate what space we need," she said.

I'm loving more Miso in my cooking. This Tilapia with Sweet Miso Glaze was perfect. Accompanied by a Miso-Dressing salad and some sweet Baked Sweet Potato and Purple carrots (also sweeter than normal carrots!).
Sweet Miso Tilapia
The caramelized onions compliment all the sweetness while the pepper and parsley balance things out a bit. The chicken broth and Mirin (Sweet Rice Cooking Wine) taste were ever present and delicious as well.
Let the onions caramelize in olive oil first, and then add the tilapia filet with Parsley and Lemon Pepper, cook a minute or two on each side and then simmer with the Miso Sauce for another minute or two. #1 I then took the extra Miso Sauce and mixed it into a dressing for the salad! It complimented the bitter Radicchio also balanced out by some crunchy sweet sugar snap peas!
- Tilapia Filet, plenty of Dried Parsley, Lemon Pepper, Sea Salt, Miso Sauce
- Miso, Mirin, Chicken Broth
- Baked Sweet Potato and Purple Carrot
- Radiccho, Tomato, Sugar Snap Pea, and Avocado Miso Salad
- Miso, Chicken Broth, Rice Vinegar, Olive Oil, Mirin
The XL tuna salad I made gave me a delicious belly full of beans and vegetables and served 1.5 people at dinner and then a meal for me again the next day. I pretty much just referenced this occasion, except adjusted for what was on hand and actually used White Beans like the original Italian idea calls for, making it the significantly large quantity of salad.
XL White Bean-Tuna Salad
The new sun dried tomatoes I got from T-Joe's are delicious, and no garlic = hit the garlic powder. White beans are a wonderful addition but the 1 can tuna to 1 can beans ratio is not enough tuna. #2 My favorite aspect of this meal besides the taste is that you add whatever you want and taste until your liking. Like making soup.Differences:
- Garlic Powder for Garlic
- Radicchio, White Onion
- White Beans
Now for the Love Grown Foods Granola review! I am becoming a granola connoisseur!
Sweet Cranberry PecanLove Grown Foods makes some nice granola varieties and I got to try 3! Breakfast today saw the Cranberry Pecan. Primarily aided by delicious cinnamon, I want to say it's a standard yummy roasted granola, a little bit high in the sugar department nutritionally compared to super granolas like Bungalow munch, but is still made with all good organic ingredients, and is very fair in price. I never knew cranberry went so well with pecans, and furthermore pecans with coconut! Well done.
- 75g Cranberry Pecan Granola, just enough Almond Milk
- Blueberries and Pomegranate Seeds
I also tried Cocoa Goodness and Raisin Almond Crunch! The Raisin Almond has the same cinnamon theme but a nice additional spice like in a yummy Oatmeal Raisin Cookie, and the coconut flakes stand out more since paired with almonds. Cocoa lovers beware! This chocolatey granola is so delicious it's taste like a decadent chocolate dessert but nutritionally is like a nice breakfast granola? Kind of a dream right? A nice combo and ratio of granola, chocolate chips, and cocoa, and yet out of the three it's actually got a hair less fat and sugar. The wonders of cocoa...

Area residents will have two opportunities to learn about St. Maximilian Kolbe next month when Saint Luke Productions brings a multimedia production to Bristol and New Britain.
Saint Luke Productions, a nonprofit multimedia production company based in Washington, will be staging "Maximilian: Saint of Auschwitz" at St. Paul Catholic High School and Central Connecticut State University in March.
Kolbe, a friar at the time of World War II, was captured by Nazi officers in 1941 and sent to Auschwitz. While at the concentration camp, Kolbe sacrificed his life for someone else who had been condemned to death.
"Some people escaped from the prison camp, so because of that, they picked out every tenth person to be put to death as punishment. One guy was chosen - he had a wife and a couple of children – so Father Maximilian Kolbe said 'I'll take his place' and gave himself up," Msgr. Daniel J. Plocharczyk told The Herald in January. "He just wouldn't die. They put him in a cell, tried starving him."
While Kolbe did eventually die at Auschwitz, he was made a saint 41 years after that heroic act by St. John Paul II.
Leonardo Defilippis stars in the production, playing both Kolbe and a German soldier. The performance includes a musical score as well as projected images and newsreel footage from Nazi Germany.
"Saint Maximilian Kolbe has a powerful, yet cautionary, message for all of us - not to take the freedoms we cherish for granted, but rather to defend them with our lives," Defilippis said.
According to the Saint Luke Productions website, the production debuted in 1993 and has been seen in many venues in countries across the world, including the Basilica of Our Lady of the Angels and Martyrs in Rome.
Kolbe is an important figure to religious Poles. During Sacred Heart Church's upcoming pilgrimage in May, the group will visit Kolbe's cell at Auschwitz. Plocharczyk explained that visiting historical and meaningful sites like Kolbe's cell is a powerful moment for many people.
"These are things that you can't just talk about … you just have this reverential silence and respect for everything going on at these historic places." Plocharczyk said.
The presentation at St. Paul Catholic High School will be at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, March 7. The school is at 1001 Stafford Ave., Bristol.
CCSU's presentation will be at 7 p.m. on Saturday, March 10, in Torp Theatre, in Davidson Hall, 1615 Stanley St., New Britain.

My whole life, fairness has been something that I have been slightly obsessed with.
My mom tells a story where we were playing "SORRY!". I must have been four or five years old. Well, my mom won. I immediately threw myself on the floor crying "You always win mommy! You always win! It's not fair!" (insert squeals and cries of a 5-year-old). I then proceeded to throw the pieces off the board and march to my room.
Cute, I know.
Having a sister just 16-months older than me meant a LOT of sharing. From clothes, to school supplies, hair stuff....you name it, we probably shared it on some level. I was a total prison guard when it came to sharing. If she wouldn't let me borrow her new hair-tie, I wouldn't let her borrow any of mine (regardless of new-ness). It was only fair, right?
Needless to say, I was not the most generous with my sister. What's funny is, I would have given my brand new Lisa Frank notebook to a friend if she even just said she "liked it". I suppose, or like to think, this is a sister thing. At least my sister is extremely gracious and loved me despite my obsession with what was fair.
I will never forget something my 4th grade teacher said, and would repeat to say, throughout the 1999-2000 (ahhh, has it really been 14 years since then?!) school year. Every time one of us would complain about something being unfair she would announce:
"Life isn't fair. Anyone who tells you anything else is trying to sell you something."
Long after the 4th grade, this phrase stuck with me. A lot of my thinking is very much geared towards fairness. To this day, if something "unfair" happens to me, I take it very personally.
This kind of thinking nearly cost me my coupleship. You see, I would be treated "unfairly", or at the least I perceived it that way, and I would retaliate one way or another to make it "fair".
You know that saying, "All's fair in love and war?", well, that's not exactly true.
Everyone deserves to be treated in a just a fair manner; with respect. But, we are all human, and sometimes we let our pain shine through and we hurt the people we love with that pain.
So, instead of constantly trying to "be fair", I started wondering "What is the fair thing to do for our relationship?" And every. single. time. I asked that question, the answer was 180 degrees opposite of the answer of what would be fair for me.
For a long time, I had the mentality of "I deserve so much more than this" whenever things would get bumpy in any relationship.
That's what women tell their girlfriends after a bad fight, parent's tell their children regularly, and what men tell each other when they lament about how "crazy" their lady friends are.
If all your consumed with is what is fair, you will never allow yourself to experience true love. So, it's up to you.
You can have as much fairness in your life as possible, but life isn't fair. And if anyone tells you otherwise, they're probably trying to sell you something.

I have had this weird feeling in the tip of my penis for over a day now. When it started, I had a constant urge to urinate for about an hour but that went away. Since then, i have felt an annoying, almost tingly feeling at the tip of my penis. It feels good after I pee, but it gets a bit worse and if I ignore it for long enough, it gets better for a while. Its slight enough to where I don't urge to urinate but it is disturbing enough to disrupt my sleep last night. I can't get my mind off the feeling.
I don't believe its a Urinary Tract Infection because it doesnt burn when I pee, and it's not an STD because I'm only 15 and never had sex. Could it be from masturbating? I tend to masturbate somewhat a lot, but I don't know how much is a lot. People with similar situations say its an incurable thing, but I need some answers please? What antibiotics worked best for you? and by the way I haven't seen a doctor yet.
Someone with a similar feeling please help me, this is very irritating.

A new campaign has been launched to improve both the standards and availability of mental health provision across the UK.
CounsellorsUK, an online register for accredited Counsellors and Psychotherapists, has launched the campaign to raise awareness of this important issue.
Emma from CounsellorsUK explains: " The current provision of mental health care in the UK is simply not providing adequate care for individuals in need , leaving more and more clients to turn to private therapy in desperation when telephone based CBT or group therapy fails to give them the support they need. In addition to this, there is currently no statutory regulation for the Counselling and Psychotherapy profession in the UK, potentially leaving vulnerable members of the community at risk."
According to the NHS, the cost of mental illness in England has been estimated at £105.2 billion per year, including the direct costs of services, lost productivity at work,...

During a live broadcast in the midst of an earthquake in 2011, an announcer for MLB Television made an interesting quip: "Did you know that most of Manhattan is built on landfill…not on granite, and if there were, like, an 8.0 earthquake, then parts of Manhattan would just, just, disintegrate."
It drove home an important point about earthquake preparedness: No matter how much we beef up building codes, our cites are only as stable as the ground they rest on.
In that spirit, this summer engineers at the University of Texas, Austin, presented research on soil "improvement" as an earthquake mitigation strategy. The engineers, Kenneth Stokoe and Brady Cox, studied a series of earthquakes that struck Christchurch, New Zealand, in 2010-2011. Those quakes were especially destructive because they caused the "liquefaction" of the soil beneath the city. Christchurch sits on loose, wet soil that, when stirred up by the quake, turned into something like a thick fluid, creating a rolling foundation that undermined most of the city's buildings.
Stokoe and Cox wanted to test strategies for strengthening soil against liquefaction, which meant finding ways to simulate earthquakes. For that, they turned — as you might expect — to explosives — but also to a 64,000-pound behemoth known as the "T-Rex." The T-Rex is a "mobile shaker truck" which uses its heft to jostle the earth in a way that resembles the tremors from shifting tectonic plates. Based on those experiments, the engineers concluded that the best ways to fortify soil are to rapidly compact it, or to install vertical piers and horizontal beams beneath buildings.
The idea of changing the composition of the earth to ward against something as massive as an earthquake sounds a little futile. At the same time, there are other areas — like planting trees to prevent erosion — where we've successfully used home remedies to staunch tremendous natural forces. And, if we have the T-Rex on our side, maybe we have what it takes to go head-to-head with an earthquake after all.Kevin Hartnett is a writer in South Carolina.

Partner Programme Expands
8 comments :
Is it just me, or does posting this article about the Partnership Program expansion (given that it only applies to USA and Canada) on the Australian YouTube blog seem a little pointless?ReplyDelete
If Aussies can't even access the site (let alone submit themselves for partnership) - why bother telling us about it until we are eligible?
what about Australia?????ReplyDelete

Research and Clinical Interests
Transmission of CMV by blood transfusion: Despite a wealth of past research, many aspects of the transmission and/or activation of CMV by blood donation remain unclear. My laboratory participated in a nationwide, 13 center, collaborative study to determine if blood transfusion activated latent CMV infection in HIV positive recipients. Using a PCR assay previously developed and evaluated in my laboratory in collaboration with Roche Labs (#79) the results of this study which showed no evidence of activation were published in (#105). In a subsequent study we examined blood donors for evidence of asymptomatic CMV viremia using five different PCR assays, including the assay performed in my lab. Validation of our PCR assay for this purpose was published in #93 and the follow-up study of 1000 blood donors was performed in my lab as well as in Dr. Roback's lab at Emory University and published in #103. An outcome of these latter studies was to develop a collaboration with Drs. Harvey Alter at NIH and Dr. Michael Busch at BCP which led to a retrospective study of CMV viremia by PCR in blood donors and recipients who were known to have seroconverted (#102).

Sunday 2nd February 2014
Four KFN members joined me for an enjoyable morning visiting a few of Kingston's birding locations on a day with vastly improved weather compared to the bone-numbing cold experienced during the previous few days. To get the day rolling, we headed up to Princess Towers where I had seen the resident pair of Peregrine Falcons just that morning. Of course, we missed seeing them but at least one member of the group stopped in later during the day and actually observed one of the pair take a Feral Pigeon.
We then went down to the Wolfe Island Ferry Dock where waterfowl, though not numerous, are restricted to the ice-choked channel, there-by allowing for some close looks. Mallard numbered about 40 and in with them was a leucistic female, quite unusual. Of more interest though to those present were the two 1st winter drake Long-tailed Ducks allowing us very close views right from the dock. Also present were Common Goldeneye, Greater Scaup, a single American Black Duck and both Common and Red-breasted Mergansers – these allowing close comparison of the females.
|Long-tailed Duck (1st Winter Male) - Wolfe Island Ferry Dock, Kingston, ON
|Common Merganser (Female) - Wolfe Island Ferry Dock, Kingston, ON
|Common Goldeneye (Male) - Wolfe Island Ferry Dock, Kingston, ON
We then decided to call in at the Invista plant to check out the open pool on Cataraqui Bay. Immediately upon our arrival we were greeted by an immature Snowy Owl. Up to 3 have been seen here but it was still nice to see this bird so quickly and easily. Scanning the pool, we logged 15 Mute Swans, 5 American Coot and the usual Canada Geese, Mallard, Gadwall and American Black Duck, albeit in lower numbers than typical. We then continued to the Ball Diamond where we could get better looks at the outfall, often a better area for diving ducks. Here we were rewarded with 9 Greater Scaup, a single Common Goldeneye and just one Common Merganser. However, the highlight for all was a Northern Shrike that first gave itself away with its scratchy yet melodic singing. We all enjoyed great views through the 'scope; Polly actually seeing the bird regurgitate a pellet as she was watching. With one of the party needing to head off to work, we decided to continue to Lemoine Point but not before seeing a Red-tailed Hawk on the way out.
|Black Duck and Mallard - Wolfe Island Ferry Dock, Kingston, ON
We spent just over an hour at Lemoine Point and, although the wind was 'fresh' near the car park, enjoyed the birdlife in the shelter of the woods. However, one bird that was enjoying the open grassland was a female American Kestrel sitting on a pole observing us walk by. We soon began seeing numerous Black-capped Chickadees, all hoping for a free hand-out of sunflower seeds. We obliged and quickly attracted both Hairy and Downy Woodpecker to the vicinity but not to the hand. However, a diminutive pair of Red-breasted Nuthatches did come to the hand, allowing those with a fast shutter to snap a few shots. White-breasted Nuthatch, not to be usurped by its miniature cousin joined in the show and later came to the hand as well. This opportunity allowed us to compare the male and female of each species, with males having black crowns and females dark grey crowns.
|Red-breasted Nuthatch (male) - Lemoine Point CA, Kingston, ON
Looping back to the car park, we added a few more species to the trip list including Golden-crowned Kinglet, Northern Cardinal, Dark-eyed Junco and Blue Jay. In total (including Peregrine), we saw 35 species – not too bad for a cold winter morning in Kingston.
Till next time,

While individuals will not be selecting their financial advisor, lawyer or accountant because of a nice website or logo, those tools are an indication of your investment back into your business and the sustainability of your practice for years to come. We are big believers that modernizing your practice through your brand, better technology and marketing tools can showcase your true passion, culture, messaging and unique services offerings.
At Select Advisors, we recommend starting your marketing and practice modernization strategy only after going through our sales coaching program. This "sampling" exercise allows all parties involved to see what messaging and "pitch" actually works in the real world with your target market.
Upon getting laser focused on what investors value in your practice, we can work with you to design a new brand, website, brochure, tagline, color scheme, and much more so you can ramp up your visibility and pipeline growth.
We provide cutting-edge ideas pertaining to technology, branding strategies, design, and social networking in order to help you get in front of the right type of prospects. And if you don't believe your target clients are using technology or social media, just take a look at a grandmother speaking with her grandchild over Facetime!
On a daily basis, we hear from financial advisors, law firms and accounting firms complaining that their work is commoditized, meaning they believe everyone else is doing it. With over two million advisors throughout the nation, that may sound like a legitimate frustration. Advisors worry that what was once rare, like financial planning or customized portfolios, is now being offered by everyone else in their industry. They worry that what was once unique, like being an RIA, is now growing to be a household word (thanks to Tony Robbins!). They fear that anyone can go get their CFP and start managing money, and that robots are about to take over their jobs. Click to learn why we believe better branding can separate you from every single one of your competitors.
A Case Study on Rebranding: Modernizing your employees' job titles
Modernizing your employees' job titles at your advisory practice can be a simple approach to improving your digital and brand presence with GenX and millennial investors, and showing your clients exactly what you do.
Consider the example of "the genius bar" at Apple's retail stores. While the job itself is not particularly unique (you simply help resolve customer product problems), you are branding your employees with what your company represents and stands for.
Here are a few job titles we love from some modern-thinking service providers:
- 1) Head of Making Friends (instead of National Sales Director or Head of Business Development)
- 2) Client Ambassador (Instead of wealth manager or associate)
- 3) Director of First Impressions (Instead of Receptionist)
- 4) Lead Enabler (Instead of administrative assistant)
- 5) Ambassador of Buzz (Instead of chief marketing officer)
A Case Study: Replacing your boring newsletters with videoblogs
If you were a high net worth individual who is either extremely busy as a business owner, or looking to enjoy her retirement after years of working so hard, would you be spending your valuable time reading boring text in a newsletter from your wealth manager? Especially a newsletter that typically doesn't even load properly on most email service providers because the advisor is using email service providers that are antiquated? Maybe...but rarely!
Yet I see advisors spending days at a time writing, fine-tuning and editing their monthly market commentaries and newsletters, looking at "click rates" and assuming it will grow their practice.
Welcome to 2017! There are multiple platforms made available in today's day and age to move away from the old-fashioned newsletter. For example, you can create beautiful videos on a weekly basis to capture your clients' full attention in a short period of time (we live in an age of information overload, remember?) So long as you get your compliance and technology advisor's approval, you can express your market views to your clients, sending them videos of your expertise and humanizing your practice.
Contact us to learn about the modern platforms out there and how you can utilize them to reach more of your clients, more frequently. Stop hiding behind boring text and humanize your practice using modern marketing tools!

Hi guys, just a real quick one for today. I just wanted to share with you, a jacket that I have absolutely been loving lately. It's so on trend for S/S '13 and I think it definitely is an investment piece for the future as the military style never dates and is more likely to come back on the runway for future seasons in one form or the other.
Its super duper comfy to wear and I love the colour for summer, for me the colour of this jacket works around a lot of what I have already in my wardrobe.
Peplum has carried over from the A/W '12; however, it has been reworked for the current season with a much more softer edge. Where in A/W '12, we had seen quite exaggerated peplum frills from tops to dresses and even some jackets, S/S '13 trends have updated the peplum with a less sharper finish and avoided the 3-D design as seen previously. On this particular jacket, the peplum adds back the femininity to a very structured jacket, because it is only focused on the very outer sides of the jacket, sitting just on the waist. Again, faux leather and contrast sleeves were huge last season, but have a more modern feel with the quilting on the sleeves being focused on the top parts of the arms and the silver zip detailing on the outer part of near the wrist.
Military Jacket Styling Tips
· Easy to wear with jeans or alternatively, if you want to edge it up slightly, a plain black maxi will give this jacket a more informal laid back and casual look.
· Some may think that the khaki colour is hard to work around, however it looks great with coated black leather jeans – gives a more smart appearance, or dark blue skinnies, again if you want a more causal day outfit.
· A bandage knit skirt, smart pointed high heels and opaque's, with the jacket buttoned up can be pulled off if you feel daring for a day at the office. Thick black tights will keep it looking professional.
· In the summer, pair a military jacket with big shades and a fedora hat for a safari – esque feel.
· Khaki green works really well with animal print, so pop a animal printed scarf around your neck – to channel your inner feline
· Wear with tan wedges on a summers day or black patent courts in the winter
· Layering with hoodies underneath – can work well if want an extremely easy to wear look, and the military jacket will pull everything together, making you look well put together and like you've made a lot of effort, even if you may not have!
These are just some suggestions for the ways in which a military jacket can be worn, but there is plenty more. Modern fashion is about imagination! Don't be afraid to use it. Be yourself and set your own style and trend. Everyone is different, so stay true to who you are and what you love.
These are just some of my styling ideas. This does not necessarily mean I myself would wear them exactly in this way, however some of these things might work for one person and not for another. Alternatively I hope that there is something there for everyone. I am by no means saying that this is the way it HAS to be done, all I hope is that I have been able to provide you with some inspiration and help for you to carry the military trend through the next couple of seasons!!
As always, I hope you've liked this post. If you have any comments, suggestions, thoughts or requests, please free to leave them down below. I thank you all for taking the time out to read my blog and I appreciate all your feedback!P.S - My camera ran out of battery so I could only take one picture - I shall upload close ups soon!
Much Love

Fashionable Food: Sausage-Stuffed Dates
Who's making it and how you can make it yourself
Where It's Being Made
Laiola, San Francisco
What they call it: Bacon-wrapped Medjool dates stuffed with house-made chorizo, $12
Laiola makes its own spicy sausage from pork shoulder and back fat, chili powder, smoked paprika, garlic, ginger, black pepper, and the North African spice mix Ras el Hanout. Then the restaurant fills pitted Medjool dates with the cooked sausage, wraps the dates in bacon, and skewers and grills them. The appetizer is finished with a drizzle of aged balsamic vinegar.
"If you pit the dates yourself, wear gloves, because your hands get sticky," recommends Chef Ron Pei.
Also Spotted At
Savoy, Asheville, North Carolina
What they call it: Housemade lamb sausage stuffed dates with mint, $7
Avec, Chicago
What they call it: Chorizo-stuffed Medjool dates with smoked bacon and piquillo pepper-tomato sauce, $9
If you're using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes so they don't burn. Cut some Medjool dates (as many as you want to eat!) in half lengthwise and pit. Fill each half with a nugget of cooked chorizo, wrap in uncooked bacon, and skewer. Heat your broiler to high. Place the skewers in the broiler on a baking sheet and cook for five to seven minutes, turning halfway through. The dates are done when the bacon is nicely rendered and browned. Keep an eye on them, because everybody's broiler is different.

Gait sensors aim to keep horses healthier
Feb. 11 - A new gait analysis system devised by European researchers could help prevent lameness in horses and save them from being put down. The research has raised interest in the racing industry, where horses are particularly vulnerable to injury. Jim Drury reports.
Dr. Thilo Pfau's gait sensor research on horses and ponies is aimed at preventing injury and could ultimately, save their lives. For veterinarians and racehorse owners, it's intriguing research. Pfau uses the sensors, containing gyroscopes, accelerometers and magnetometers, to analyse the equines' movement. His team at the Royal Veterinary College are trying to detect signs of injury and lameness at their earliest stages, so the animals can be treated before reaching a point where they have to be put down. SOUNDBITE (English) DR. THILO PFAU, LECTURER IN BIO-ENGINEERING AT ROYAL VETERINARY COLLEGE, SAYING: "The sensors accurately and precisely in this case measure the up and down movement of the anatomical landmarks of the horse that they are attached to. In this case we are looking at a horse that is equipped for a lameness exam, so we're looking at sensors on the head and we're looking at three sensors mounted over the hind quarters of the horse where we then relate these movements to what the front limbs and what the hind limbs are doing." Until now vets have only been able to use a gait laboratory to see how horses move in a straight line, often on a motorised treadmill. Pfau thinks hooking them up with sensors while they run outdoors offers more realistic analysis. UPSOT: HOOFS He says his system will allow horse trainers to monitor their animals regularly. If a small deviation in gait pattern is detected, the trainer could seek treatment for the horse before an injury worsens. UPSOT: HOOFS SOUNDBITE (English) DR. THILO PFAU, LECTURER IN BIO-ENGINEERING AT ROYAL VETERINARY COLLEGE, SAYING: "How early can we spot these injuries, those impending injuries, those slowly developing injuries, and yes that is our ultimate goal is to prevent injuries rather than to look at rehabilitation and to look at how we can fix things once something is broken, we want to prevent injuries, we want to detect them as early as possible to make sure that those injuries don't happen." Pfau's research has attracted significant interest in the racing community. UPSOT: RACE SPECTATORS Horse racing can be a dangerous sport, with leg injuries sometimes inevitably leading to the destruction of the horse. Pfau thinks sensor analysis could, in many cases, prevent the injury from occurring in the first place, allowing the horse to race another day.

I have had the xampp 1.6.6a installed for a long time.
I have not got any problems untill trying to run perl scripts.
I have the perl.exe in C:\xampp\perl\bin.
When trying to run perl command at commpand prompt it is not found.
1. If testing by copying the perl.exe to C:\xampp\cgi-bin then running perl test.pl then hallo world script works.
2. Testing my other script that uses code "use IO::Socket;"
I get error can't locate IO/Socket.pm ...
I dont think I have installed perl module manually, not sure?
Anyway I tried to find a way to install the perl module, but can't find perl module that can be installed on my xampp version 1.6.6a.
I have too mutch changes to my Xampp that I can't upgrade to newer Xampp.
Any ideas?

Wars of the Roses
I don't think I have enough of an interest to expand the force beyond this to do larger battles, so I'm seriously contemplating their future. At present I'm thinking these should go to someone who wants a new addition to their WotR force while I use some of the sprues to create some generic fantasy human henchmen for Advanced Heroquest and Dungeon Saga.
If anyone is interested, message me, otherwise I'll be attempting selling on feebay for the first time in my life
Shadows of BrimstoneShadows of Brimstone ticks lots of boxes in terms of campaign adventures, solo play and plenty of reusable monsters for Strange Aeons and Weird War/mythos games in general, so this isn't going anywhere either. It does, on the other hand, need some new human figures as the detail and size of the core box ones are awful (imo). I know other people are happy with them, but I'm a picky so and s. Black Scorpion do some great looking heroes, but I also need some ghostly prospectors, demonic indians and undead soldiers which will pose a slightly harder set to replace. Once thing at a time though...
I should probably spend the next week or two sticking together and filling in all the (massive) gaps on the monsters as they should be quite easy to blast through over Christmas, adding to the list of challenge material. You never know, I may get around to running a campaign with it in the new year too.
Warhammer Quest / Dungeon Saga / Fantasy skirmish
I still have the files kicking around for the laser cut mdf dungeon tiles too. I need to get back to those and get all the components for Heroquest, Advanced Heroquest and Warhammer Quest cut out. It will be fun converting some of those adventures over to Dungeon Saga.
Bolt ActionI think Bolt Action as a system is going to stop, but the small forces gathered to date will work perfectly in other skirmish systems like Strange Aeons and 7TV in WW2 settings. I don't need to expand the existing forces, but I do need to paint up the Germans and get them some Heer officers and a hanomag or Opel truck at some point for a bit of terrain.
The Germans have been in the painting queue for the last two years, so should really move up to the top of the pile this year!
InfinityThis is another one that can go. I've not played in a long time and the rules/meta have moved on a lot since my last game. With so many other things still in the project list I can safely package up my Aleph and wave them goodbye
SagaI've only played this once, but it was really good fun. Last year someone kindly bought me a load of vikings for my Secret Santa present so these are definitely in this year's painting pile. I think I've got enough to make a Viking force and a Jomsviking one too so I have something to fight against and introduce some friends to the joys. Again, these are also useful in SA or 7TV... just imagine a viking warband going up against some big monsters. I need to pick up the board/dice for the Saga Revenants too as I already have a necromancer and plenty of zombies.
40K - Imperial GuardThis one is a tough call. I spent a lot of time and effort on this army, but I havn't used it in years; not since Adrian moved away. I had fun building it, but never quite got it to look how I wanted and certainly never won with it as it was a fluffy build, rather than a WAAC list. Keeping this sitting around seems like a massive waste of space as I've not been keen on the evolution of 40k in it's recent incarnations and I don't like playing competitively. It is also taking up a lot of shelf space with the tanks and walkers.
I need to get it all out, photograph it properly, work out how much it should go for and see if anyone is interested; along with the massive bitz pile, some skitarri sprues and some grey knight sprues.
So across the last two posts I seem to have decided to cull 5 ongoing projects in favour of some small units of things to use in Strange Aeons or 7TV. That works for me as it caters to the magpie/butterfly brain. It will be a bit sad to see some go, but they aren't being used so someone else should get some enjoyment out of them.

Carp fishing tips (Leger rig)
- Hits: 24710
Large floats are necessary for the distance we are fishing, but mainly to cope with the very windy conditions we usually have in summer, which are a blessing most days as it can keep the temperature down.
I start to fish at a range where I can feed particles like sweet corn with my carp king catapult, probably 30 to 50 ft out where I hope to find 10 to 25 ft of water. Even using my 16ft rod I still prefer to use a sliding float for any water over 10 ft as I find it much easier to cast. You can use the normal sliding stop knot method to set the depth, myself I prefer to cut the line and tie a blood knot as a stop knot at the required depth. If I have to use a float that is not a regular slider and has a big bottom eye, then I have a small bead between the float and the stop knot. For casting the float sits on a BB shot about 6ft from the hook, with the bulk shot at 3ft from the hook and another BB shot about 6 inches from the hook. During the session I will move the shot about near the hook and depending on the wind may have to add extra weight there.
I cast out and immediately plunge my rod tip under the water and tighten up to the float to sink and keep the line under the water, as wind is normally a problem, I usually fish with the rod tip 6inches under the water.
Feeding is the secret on our dams, the script usually goes like this, start by feeding a full tin of sweet corn around your float, you can catch fish from the 1st cast but it usually takes about one hour, these first fish are usually the small ones. You then feed little and often after the initial full tin, say 10 grains every 5 minutes. When you start catching, increase the feeding and start feeding maize and other particles as well as the sweet corn. Then every hour or so try maize or chickpeas on the hook, eventually, usually after a few hours, you will start catching bigger fish on these larger particles. With these larger particles you may have to wait 30minutes for each fish. If you think there are no fish in the swim and want some action, just go back on sweet corn and you can normally take fish after fish again, but remember these are likely to be the smaller size carp.
A very important tip to remember is to set your reel clutch, we all forget sometimes and I have lost count of the number of times that we have just been able to grab a rod on its way out into the dam, reminding us that it pays not to leave any baited tackle unattended.
Every so often the fish go crazy and if you are fortunate to be fishing, then do not be afraid of feeding very heavy, a bucket full of particles can easily be used in one day.
One last tip given to me more years ago than I care to remember for fishing in Ireland is to fish the same swim for a few days, not flit about from swim to swim, my best catches normally come on the 2nd or 3rd day in the same swim.
Feeding particles around the boilie rigs has little effect, it may even be detrimental, as it could get the carp addicted to feeding on small baits, so keep the two methods separate.
I hope these tips will help you both if you are fishing alone in the region or if planning to come out for a trip with me and wish to bring your own tackle, that you can consider what you need to bring with you, if you have any questions regarding all of this then do please get in touch, my email address is below.
Another useful rig is the 'method feeder' rig with the ground bait laced with particles!.

Book Review – The Savile Row Cutter: Michael Skinner Master Tailor
About a month ago, Bene Factum of London provided me with a copy of the new book, The Savile Row Cutter: Michael Skinner – Master Tailor – in Conversation with Hormazd Narielwalla. Flipping through the first few pages, I did not know what to expect, but by the last page, I was delighted.
This book is a meticulously crafted mix of biographical details, pictures, anecdotes, memories, and of course, clothes and tailoring. Although written by Hormazd Narielwalla, the reader interprets most things through the eyes of Michael Skinner, chairman and for many years, the leading force behind the Savile Row tailoring establishment, Dege & Skinner. This informative book reveals aspects of Michael's personal life on this famous street.
As you might expect from a Savile Row institution, the first pages of the book are dedicated to pictures of Michael Skinner's Grant of Arms, as well as the "Family Tree" of Dege & Skinner. After Michael's foreword, as well as a short preface by the author, the book begins with robes. Don't be put off by this odd first choice – they aren't just any robes, they are the coronation robes.
The Coronation Robes
J. Dege & Sons Ltd. was the first incarnation of the company we know today, and they acquired ownership of the court tailor, Wilkinson & Sons in 1939 just before the war. Back then, Mr. Wilkinson was the leading authority on court dress.
Soon after George VI died in February 1952, work on the robes for the coronation of Elizabeth II began and J. Dege was responsible for their production. Michael William George Skinner was just 18 at the time, and he assisted the Dege staff to remodel and repair robes that had long been in storage. Since coronation robes are worn so rarely, many of the gentlemen still possessed the robes of their ancestors, which could date back to 1937, 1911, 1902, and sometimes, even to the 18th century. These robes are made of crimson silk velvet with a silk lining and a trimming of ermine fur! They are worn over the uniforms, morning suits or velvet court suits. Depending on the title of the wearer, the robes indicated rank with rows of fur, ranging from 4 rows for a Duke to two rows for a Baron. Considering the delicate materials, as well as the age of these garments, it does not come as a surprise that they needed some repairs and some robes even had to be tailored from scratch! Since I had never read anything about coronation robes before, I thought this was quite an intriguing start.
In the second chapter, we learn about Michael's early career and apprenticeship stages, beginning with the Tailor & Cutter Academy. At this point, one might expect an end to training, however, in the tailoring trade one never stops learning!
The Breeches & Body Coats
The third chapter revolves around breeches, jodhpurs and hunting coats. Even as a young boy, Michael Skinner did not have the most symmetrical body and so he started riding in order to strengthen his muscles. This represented the beginning of a life-long passion that lead not only to a professional specialization in riding clothes, but also to an interest that he shared with his wife Marcella.
The chapter continues with quite a bit of information about breeches and jodhpurs, which were nicely illustrated with pictures from the Dege & Skinner's archives.
The fourth chapter is developed around body coats and covers such garments as morning coats, tailcoats, and red hunting coats. Moreover, Michael shares a number of anecdotes and explains how he first came to the US in order to measure and fit clients.
Trump Tower & Royal Warrants
In the fifth and sixth chapters, we learn about Michael's early life in the military and how these experiences helped to develop a strong military tailoring branch at Dege. The specialty eventually led to tailoring the wedding uniform of Captain Mark Phillips (to Princess Anne) and the uniforms of the "guards" at the Trump Tower in NYC in the seventies. Along the way, he made many friends and started tailoring for the Sultan of Oman, the King of Bahrain, His Majesty King Harald V of Norway, and eventually for Queen Elizabeth.
Dege & Skinner Bespoke And RTW
Chapter seven discusses the transition of the formerly traditional bespoke tailoring establishment, Dege & Skinner, into a multifaceted company with classic bespoke suits and a ready-to-wear line in Japan. The company's name officially changed to Dege & Skinner in 2000. Michael Skinner's honors, such as Master of the Merchant Tailors, and his accomplishments at the Royal Warrant Holders association are also highlighted.
The book concludes with a chapter dedicated to his late wife and an epilogue. Overall, this detailed biography should be very interesting to anyone who is interested in tailoring in general, and the trade behind it. In particular, you will learn a lot about specialized kinds of clothing that don't often receive much coverage in the modern day. If you read this article up to this point, chances are you will like this book!
It seems like this book is not yet available in the US through platforms like Amazon, but you can order it directly from the publisher Bene Factum Publishing Ltd for £25. Also, it is available at select places like Dege & Skinner on Savile Row.

Lil Durk has put a new spin on Logic's hit 2017 track, "1-800-273-8255," flipping it into his own version with "1 (773) Vulture."The Chicago rapper previewed the remix yesterday (Jan. 11) on Instagram, and now we get the whole thing. While Logic's version advocates suicide prevention, the "India" rapper instead takes a bit of an ironic approach to the OG edition and talks about lives being taken if the drama pops off.
The OTF rapper put in work in 2017. His productivity included dropping Long Songs for the Streets—a mixtape featuring Young Thug, Moneybagg Yo and YFN Lucci—in February. He followed that effort with Supa Vultures alongside fellow Chicago rapper Lil Reese, a solo mixtape sequel, Signed to the Streets 2.5, and closed out the year with the Midwest collab project, Bloodas, with Tee Grizzley.

Graduate voice student and international soprano Julie Davies sang for the dedication of the Marilyn Horne Museum and Exhibit Center in Marilyn Horne Hall at the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford on Saturday, May 6, 2017. The museum serves as a tribute to the great American mezzo-soprano Marilyn Horne, who graced the stages of the world's major opera houses and recital halls for over four decades, and continues to inspire the next generation of opera singers through teaching and mentorship. A winner of the National Medal of Arts, the Kennedy Center Honors, and four Grammy Awards, Ms. Horne personally selected Ms. Davies, bass baritone DeAndre Simmons, and pianist Martin Katz to perform for the dedication ceremony. All three performers and Ms. Horne are alumni of the prestigious Music Academy of the West in Santa Barbara, where Ms. Horne has been a member of the faculty since 1995, and Director of the Voice Program since 1997.
The museum includes many items donated by Ms. Horne, including replicas of costumes from memorable performances at the Metropolitan Opera in the 1970s, photographs, event posters, musical scores, and more. Interactive features teach visitors about opera and vocal music, while interviews and sound clips of Ms. Horne performing provide a glimpse into her impressive career.
Ms. Davies shared with us a few of her most memorable moments with Ms. Horne, as well as how Ms. Horne's teaching and mentorship have influenced her own career.
When did you first meet Ms. Horne?
I met Marilyn Horne at the University of Oklahoma, during a TMEA master class she was giving on campus and for which I had been chosen as the singer.
How is her teaching style unique?
Ms. Horne follows the technique of master teachers such as Lotte Lehmann (who was her teacher) in engaging the voice in sotto voce at every pitch and on every vowel.
How has she influenced you and your career?
Ms. Horne has been the master teacher of myself and many others. To me, she is my life teacher. I would call her from Germany before accepting a role, and she would see the role in her mind's eye and immediately tell me what the most treacherous parts were and at times, suggest that I wait for certain roles.
What is your fondest memory with Ms. Horne?
I have many fond memories with Ms. Horne. One was my debut at the Music Academy of the West in 2006, singing the leading role of Corinna (a virgin) while I was pregnant with my son. When I arrived in Santa Barbara that summer, she asked in the panel of teachers -- Julie, is there something you'd like to tell us? They laughed...then she said -- she needs a high waist. And that was the joke amongst everyone that summer -- Julie playing the virgin while with child.
About Julie Davies
Ms. Davies began her international opera career in Darmstadt, Germany in 2011, where she was highly praised for her performances of the title roles in La Traviata, La Sonnambula, and Lucia di Lammermoor. Other roles Ms. Davies performed to great acclaim include: Norina in Don Pasquale, Nedda in I Pagliacci, and Gerhilde in Die Walküre, as well as all four heroines in The Tales of Hoffmann. Most recently, Ms. Davies performed Donna Anna in Don Giovanni with the Opéra National de Paris (2015), Marzelline in Fidelio with Rio de Janeiro (2015), and the Junges Mädchen in the co-production of Schoenberg's Moses und Aron (which was televised world-wide in 2015) with Paris and Madrid (2016). She will sing the role of Gerhilde in Wagner's "Ring" in Madrid in the 2019-20 season. Ms. Davies is a three-time alumna of the Music Academy of the West. Ms. Davies will tour Germany and Austria in recital this summer in promotion of her first CD release, featuring works by Bellini, Liszt, Schubert, and Wagner (click here to listen/purchase). Ms. Davies is currently a DMA student at UC Santa Barbara, studying with Dr. Linda Di Fiore.
