The Well Read Doll
Today we made the dolls a bunch of books for the doll house!
These were so cute printed out!! A page of book covers. I simply cut out each tiny book cover, folded it in half, and then glued it with a glue stick around a piece of nice smooth cardboard (think thick card stock).
Just to show you how mini they really are.
You know now I must make a doll house bookshelf. These dolls love books! I love these dolls.

I forgot about all the pintables on the Hitty site. Julie who owns this site is a wonderful person and so giving. I use to be very active on the Hitty yahoo group, but due to time, I have not been able to keep up with the group… Have you and the princess read the book Hitty yet?
- December 12, 2008 at 7:30 AM
those are so adorable!!

Hi Lynn,
I was taking a break from school work and holiday prep and on your suggestion went to the Hitty site. I was fasinated. What a delightful little adventure! I had never heard of Hitty dolls before but was enamored with the stories, and the print outs of the book jackets,labels,etc. What a great find for the dollhouse! I have put my Gingerbreadhouse on display for the holidays and while on Christmas break will begin my next project.It is a three story Victorian I think will become the next Gingerbreadhouse in what could become a small village someday! Thanks again for the tip!
Hapy Holidays,

Louise, I've been meaning to answer you! Too busy here! Believe it or not, it was my oldest son and I who read Hitty. I am really looking forward to reading it with my daughter soon.
Amity, thank you!
Diane, the Gingerbread village sounds lovely! Isn't this Hitty site cute?

Many visitors to Bogotá remark on the wild variety of things being hawked on the city's sidewalks – clothing, cell phones, toys, fruit, sexual aids, and in this case even snails. Or, snail slime, to be exact. Buy your slime by the snail or the jar.
We encountered this guy during a bike tour. The vendor claims that snail slime cures all sorts of skin diseases. And he's got the pictorial evidence to prove it!

NFLATION is a common enemy we all share, if you compare it in boxing,
its hilarious Isn't, But when it comes on fighting Inflation
you can get some Idea out of it, So what is Inflation? It is the one we see in scary movies?
no its not, we can't see it nor feel it but its happening, Inflation is a annual increase
of goods, services etc, In the Philippines our Annual Inflation rate is about 6-7 percent,
so if you buy some Ice cream today for Php 20, it would not be the same price in a coming years,
That's how Inflation works it makes the poor becomes poorer by decreasing the purchasing ability
of your hard earn money to zero, but if you know the strategy you could difinately defeat inflation,
Now lets go on boxing, I personally enjoy this sports, When you train to be a boxer you should have
descipline, along with determination and courage, You should keep strong and focus to defeat your enemy
and when you are in the fight your all alone your succes is truly depend on you, you threw a lot of punches
and your enemy is not just standing there HE IS FIGHTING,inflation is fighting it keeps on increasing, for you to succeed is to keep strong, stay focus
and determine enough to defeat your enemy, determine enough even if you lost a few rounds, if you stick on this to keep strong, stay focus and be determine enough, and you applied strategy through it you can difinately won the fight, fighting Inflation has its own strategies, but the same principles to keep strong, stay focus and be determine enough
there are many ways to fight, there are many strategies to learn, but what im telling you now is the basic in terms of fighting Inflation, if you want to be financially free set your goal to it, and take all hurdles down to get there, one of this is Inflation, one of the best strategy is to make your money work for you, They called it passive income this means your money is simply making money for you thru interest, profits, etc. now you are not the only one working for money, it is also your money working for you, two always better than one, your money doesn't get sick, or tired, it keeps on compounding
you probably asking, where im going to start? first save even a small amount of money each month, overtime it can be substantial now remember this time is Gold,the earlier you start the bigger chances of winning, the bigger you invest the better, if your going to save, just apply those three principles I've mentioned above, keep strong, stay Focus, and be determine enough
remember you are in the fight, Keep strong even if you desperately in need of money, try not to touch your saving find ways to find it try to have an emergency fund, be determine enough to save each month when you receive your salary, follow this simple equation, Income-Saving= Expenses, in other words get your savings first before you pay your bills, etc, and lastly stay focus on you goal to be financially free, you can invest your savings in a high earning investment instruments, such as stocks, bonds, uitf, mutual funds etc. the following are earning more than inflation perhaps your are thinking its just for rich people will i say is not its for everyone, Mr. Bo Sanchez Authored the book, My maid investing in Stock Market, and why you should too? his maids only earn php 7000 per month thier php 2000 invested in stock market per month, In stock market you can earn as much as 38% annually, and if you have a good strategies it can be doubled as much as 100%, that is much higher than inflation, why his maids are successful?, as Isaac Newton said If i want to see even further I will seat in the shoulder of giants, Mr. BoSanchez is a Millionaire, he is a investor, he is a experienced investor in stock Market, and his Mentor Edward Lee he is known as a giant in stock market a Warren Buffet of the Philippines, Started investing when he was 18, he is a Self made billionaire, Bo Sanchez Maids simply seat on there shoulder, by taking there recommendations thru stock update, If you could seat in the shoulder of this giants you can be prosperous as they are just follow there steps, follow there recommendations in investing on stock market, all you have to do is to learn more, and why im saying this to you? for you to grow, for you to win Stocks offer higher returns than any other investment Intruments, if you apply more strategies to it you can simply Knock out the so called Inflation, Investing in a high above inflation it just like your generating a wealth, your heading on your goal, bank deposit's, time deposit's is usually below inflation you are just heading in a long rough road with no direction at all, it means you are not fighting, as I said in the ring your all alone its totally depend in you on how to take down your enemy, suddenly most Filipinos put there saving in a long rough road, perhaps they are more on conservative investors, trying to be safe, but how can you win the fight? if you did not take a punch, Investing in Stocks, bonds, UITF and mutual funds etc, require's more training, skills, strategy, and methods, there are many coach
out there, all you have to do is to explore read some books, used the thing called computer on your table take its advantages, learning is much better than facebooking, take a step now, before its to late, TIME IS GOLD.


text: For the measure of brain activation in functional MRI many methods compute a heuristically chosen metric. The statistic of the underlying metric which is implicitely derived from the original assumption about the noise in the data, provides only an indirect way to the statistical inference of brain activation. We propose an alternative procedure by presenting a binary hypothesis-testing approach. This approach treats the problem of detecting brain activation at its origin by directly deriving a test statistic based on the probabilistic model of the noise in the data. Thereby, deterministic or parameterized models for the hemodynamic response can be considered. Results show that time series models can be detected even if they are characterized by unknown parameters, associated with the unclear nature of the mechanisms that mediate between neuronal stimulation and hemodynamic brain response. The likelihood ratio tests proposed in this paper are very efficient and robust in making a statistical inference about detected regions of brain activation. To validate the usefulness of our approach we present a simulation environment for functional MRI. This environment also serves as a testbed for comparative study and systematic tests.

Wishes for my wardrobe
After my 4 months in Spain I decided I couldn't buy so many new things for the wardrobe because I have so many. I need to go through my wardrobes, see what I really wear and not, give some to friends and charity. Now I've been home for about 4 months and only bought a few things (which is really not like me at all!) so I'm starting to really long for a shoppingday and come home with lots of bags with new stuff in them... Here are some things I would love to find in the stores here in Stockholm!
The place I've called my second home for the last years
A place I'll always go back to.
Here are some photos from the time I spent there in february- april
Those moments you never forget
That night,
when I sat next to you on the beach.
I was so nervous and calm at the same time.
We sat there,
I listened to the waves, felt the sand on my feet and could smell the salty water.
I remember thinking I've never been through anything like it before,
And I got to experience that moment with you.
I wanted that moment to be forever.
I remember I could barely look into your eyes.
I couldn't stop talking but at the time I was more quiet than ever.
That night I just knew,
that night it all became so easy again.
That night is one of the most perfect nights I've ever had in my life.
And I know you felt the same thing too.
Whistle - Flo Rida
Earrings, such an amazing detail
A pair of earrings can do so much...
They can be a discrete detail to your outfit or they can stand out and make the outfit!
New mint green jacket
Here is my new fake leather jacket from Stradivarius.
I love that it's mint green, very colourful compared to my normal black one.
And I also love model and the wrinkles.
I've used it during the summer nights in Stockholm and I really like it!
Somewhere in Barcelona...
A friday in Barcelona.
The last couple of weeks I havn't been too busy. Got an inflammation in my wrist and couldn't do much for a few days and it took 2 weeks before I could do everything normally again. I've started studying and checking out programs in Uni, and I have really mixed feelings about it but hopefully everything will turn out to be good! Except that I've been out on walks, seen the musical Dirty Dancing (my favorite film like a musical, it was absolutely amazing!), out with friends and working. The last days have been boring with lots of rain, but it doesn't really matter when you're inside studying.
Knitted - My favorite during the autumn
During the cold time of the year my favorite thing to wear is knitted. Tops, dresses, leggings, scarfs and a lot more, everything of it is perfect to wear (if it is knitted) when it's cold. Here are some things I love would to wear right now!
The famous game
Sometimes people play hard to get to know that the other person's feelings are real.

Autumn for sure
Autumn and the lower temperature is here to stay, the only thing that will change is that it's going to get colder and hopefully we get to see some snowflakes fall from the sky! Here are some things I would love to wear this autumn.
A mix of photos
From my time in Mallorca this year
Tops from Spain
While in Spain I went shopping in my favorite stores but I also discovered new ones.
Here are some new tops I found and wore a lot during the spring and summer!
Mint green from Zara in the shopping mall Bahía Sur in San Fernando (Close to Cádiz).
Stripes and crochet from Stradivarius on Mallorca.
White, a bit seethrough and feathers from Pimkie on Mallorca.

Torre Tavira Cádiz
There is a tower called Torre Tavira in Cádiz where you can see basically the whole city. They also have something called Camera Obscura, on a white table they show you the reflection of the city and everything moving right now which is very cool! A guide is showing a group of people and at the same time explaining and talk about the history of the city. I loved the show and that the guide spoke in spanish and then english, that way I got to practice my spanish! It only costs a few euros and it's definitely worth a visit!
Here are some photos from my visit there!
If the summer would have stayed a bit longer...
The summer is over for this year but that doesn't mean you can't wish for it to come back.
Here are some things I would love to wear right now, if it would be the right time for it!

Parc Güell - Barcelona
A year ago I spent a weekend in Barcelona and one day we went to the famous Parc Güell.
Here are some photos from that day.
You can drive at 16, go to war at 18, drink at 21, and retire at 65.
So who can say what age you have to be to find your true love?

Last minute shopping in Cádiz
I went shopping a lot during my time in Spain and my last weeks in Cádiz was no exception. At the last minute shopping I found things that I wasn't looking for but that I just had to get! I found an amazing blue bikini with fringes at Blanco, and a skirt and dress from one of my favorites Bershka. I used the dress one night out in Cádiz and the skirt I've used during a partynight here in Sweden but so far I haven't used the bikini. It's normally like that... too many bikinis, but I just couldn't walk away from it even though I knew I didn't need one!
Big necklaces
Sometimes when you have a bit too normal and almost boring outfit I think it's nice to put on a really special necklace. A big, colourful one makes the whole outfit look more interesting!
Here are some of my favorites right now!
Work, celebrating a friends birthday, cinema x3 (Looper, Hamilton - Men inte om det gäller din dotter, Hotel Transylvania), baked muffins, watched the new episodes of all the series I follow and running errands. That's what I've been doing lately. The birthday celebration turned out to be a really good night, I liked all the movies I watched at the cinema, tried two new recipes when baking muffins and the new episodes of the tv series was really good.
The autumn days it rains I'm glad to either work or spend a whole day inside doing laundry, baking or watch tv series and movies. And the sunny autumn days I enjoy every second outside, taking walks and just feel like we have a bit more time before it will be completely dark!
The days, weeks and months flies by faster than I'm used to and I bet it suddenly out of nowhere will be both winter, spring and summer again. But right now I love the autumn!

Tomorrow Is Gonna Be Better
Joshua Radin - Tomorrow Is Gonna Be Better
At that point, years ago
I knew there was something about you
But I never thought I would still think of it that far in the future.
I don't regret anything,
but a little part of me is dreaming away and thinking what if.
I know I wouldn't be the same if something would have happened,
and I wouldn't have experienced all the good and bad the same way since.
What I still think
and what I still see when I look at the photos
is perfection.
So perfect in every way possible.
And that's one of the reason why I still think what if...
It's all about the details
Something that many people forget is that it most of the time is the details that makes the outfit special.
Here are a few things I love just because its details!
Someone once said...
Happiness comes in many forms -- in the company of good friends, in the feeling you get when you make someone else's dream come true, or in the promise of hope renewed. It's okay to let yourself be happy because you never know how fleeting that happiness might be.

Very good quality print which we are delighted with. She really catches the eye where she is positioned. Have framed her in a frame which marries in with her hair and it's a stunning match.

Ivanka Trump
While the world has come to know Ivanka Trump as the nation's First Daughter—as well as an entrepreneur and a devoted wife and mother—I have had the privilege of calling her my dear friend for 12 years. We met as neighbors in New York City and quickly grew close. As modern working moms, we have faced many of the same challenges and joys, and she has become a trusted counsel in my life.
Ivanka continues to earn my respect and admiration for how she has chosen to use her new visibility. She has long advocated to empower women and girls and is now leading education initiatives and working to put an end to human trafficking. I am deeply impressed by her courage to leave behind life as she knew it and move her young family to Washington to pursue positive change.

Ikebana Workshop: Autumn Arrangement
October 10, 2015 @ 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm
Event Navigation
Ikebana is a contemplative practice of expressing gentleness and elegance through the art of simple flower arrangement. Ikebana, which means "give life to flowers" in Japanese, began in 11th century Japan when flowers were presented in shrines and temples. Much more than just arranging flowers, this practice mirrors the sacredness in the mind of the arranger, both in the arrangement and in the experience of the observer. Through this art form, the artist learns to train his or her perceptions to open in the harmony and natural order of the world. Taught by Gregory Gaiser, who has been practicing ikebana for more than twenty years, studying under Sensei Kyoko Kita and Sensei Kika Shibata. $20 per person, includes flowers and other materials. You are welcome to bring your own vase or container or borrow one from the instructor (to be returned).

Roosevelt Road Watermain Improvements
Village of Lombard
This project included the rehabilitation of approximately 16,000 lineal of feet of Water main along Roosevelt Road (IL Route 38) within the Village of Lombard. The existing water main ranged in size from 8" to 12" and a majority of the water main is 40 to 50 years old. The Village had experienced an increasing number of breaks within this corridor. Because of the traffic volumes on Roosevelt Road, performing repairs on the main were very difficult and disruptive to traffic since lane closures were often required.
During the preliminary engineering phase of the project, Civiltech reviewed multiple options for the rehabilitation of the water main. These included replacement of the main beneath the Roosevelt Road pavement, replacement in the parkways, replacement within private easements outside of the roadway right-of-way, and lining of the water main with a cured-in-place pipe. The lining option was found to be the preferred option primarily because it minimized the impacts to traffic, local businesses and other existing utilities within the right-of-way.
With the lining option, sections of the existing water main were taken out of service in order to perform the lining. A temporary water main is installed on the ground surface and temporary connections made to the businesses. After the existing water main was cleaned, a resin-impregnated liner was inserted and cured in place. For services smaller than 2", the service was reinstated from inside the main by using a remotely-controlled robot to core through the liner at the corporation stop. For larger services, the existing tee was removed and replaced using standard water main construction techniques. The existing mainline valves were also be replaced.
This project required permits from the IEPA and a utility permit from IDOT, since Roosevelt Road is under their jurisdiction. Based on the length of the lining, the project was split into two phases to be built during two consecutive years, under one construction contract.

Hard Essays Topics to Write
When you are first assigned an essay to write you may think that it is hard no matter what the subject is. The truth is that any topic is just as hard to write as you make it. If you approach it with the attitude that you don't want to do this and that it is hard then it will be difficult. If however, you approach it with a positive attitude and a willing to try then you will find that no matter the subject it is actually very simple.
Another thing that might help you is if you break it down into workable parts. For example, let's say that you have a week to write the essay. We will make daily goals that are easy to keep with the end goal being a written paper. I will show you how now.
Day 1
Today is the day you were assigned an essay. Use this day to come up with a topic for it and to narrow that topic down to a fine, workable topic.
Day 2
Today you will take your topic and come up with a thesis statement for it. This should be what you hope to prove in the course of your research.
Day 3
Today you will write the outline for your essay. Each bullet point should be a point that you will make on your essay. An effective outline will be done in such a way that when your research is complete it will be just as easy as filling in the blanks.
Day 4
Today is research day. Research each of the bullet points in your outline one at a time. Take copious notes and be sure to write down each source that you used.
Day 5
Today you will take all of your research and incorporate it into your outline. Make each sentence have meaning and not just be filler to meet a length requirement.
Day 6
Today you will take what you wrote yesterday and proofread it checking for things like spelling and grammatical errors. Correct the mistakes and make a clean version. Save it to your hard drive and print out a hard copy to turn in.
Day 7
Turn it in.
As you can see, by breaking it down into manageable bites you can get this accomplished with ease regardless of whether or not the topic seems hard.

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
I have only edited fonts with Quadratic curves, and most likely will continue to do so, even though FontCreator can convert quadratic to cubic curves.Michael Vokits said:FontCreator only creates TrueType fonts, which only use quadratic Béziers. Such curves are described by three points: two endpoints on the curve and a single control point off the curve. Remember conic sections from high school? That's the sort of things you can create with these. Kinda limiting. In practice, you have to have a lot of segments and control points, and it's really easy to get a curve kinked up and spend hours trying to get a smooth curve.
Cubic Béziers (used in PostScript), however, are a very different thing. You have two off-curve control points to work with, allowing for much more complex shapes. These curves are supple, smooth. One of the best features is that it's trivial to set up a curve pivot (my term; I don't know the proper one, but mine is groovy) -- move a point on one side, and a paired point moves the opposite way, giving symmetry and smoothness. Literal counterpoint, for the musically-inclined. Adobe Illustrator, InkScape and a lot of other vector drawing apps use these curves.
In short, quadratic Béziers are much harder to work with. If you change a curve on, say, the rightmost point of /p, you have to move a lot of points to get the resulting curve to smoothly integrate. It's much, much easier with cubic Béziers.
If FontCreator supported UFO, my answer to this would be Python, UFOLib, MutatorMathRay Larabie said:
Maybe that's where plugins and external tools could fill the gap. Are there any standalone Windows tools for this?
If you had kept them a bit longer you could have sold them for $10,000.Ray Larabie said:Said computer gathers dust for a decade when I sell it for $50. It's a pattern and I'm due for a new one in 2018.
The Visual OpenType Designer certainly makes it easier for non-professionals to add OpenType Features, but Professional font designers are probably more comfortable with coding. I know at least one FontCreator user who prefers to use the Code Editor, and I often use it myself too, although the visual approach is more convenient for seeing how things work.David Perry said:I particularly like the tools for creating/editing OT features in Font Creator.
It can import VOLT code, but not export it. What it exports is OpenType Layout Feature Definition scripts, which can be imported into other font projects. The workflow is very efficient for a set of fonts.Adam Twardoch said:It can also import (and I think export) VOLT project code.
Look at Glyphs. The last time I looked it seemed to make design much simpler, but I hear praise for it from the professionals. I think it is missing features rather than simplicity that draws the call of being un-professional. If I may invoke recent development at Adobe, they have been simplifying features in a way that make their products easier for amateurs, but takes away functionality from experienced professionals.

Higher education is more important than ever before.
The late philanthropist Harold Alfond wanted to encourage generations of Maine families and their children to pursue college or education beyond high school. As a result, he created the Harold Alfond College Challenge. It was his hope that families, communities and businesses would rise to the challenge of investing in the future educational aspirations of Maine's children.
Mr. Alfond was the former owner of Dexter Shoe Company and created businesses in Maine with Maine people. His love for Maine and interest in sports and children led him to give millions of dollars to Maine people through education, sports programs and centers for children.
Mr. Alfond believed that all children deserved the opportunity to achieve higher education and with that goal in mind, he created this gift to help Maine families finance college education for their children. He believed that you could transform individual families and the State's future prosperity by helping all Maine's children aspire to higher education.

Member of the Morrant Four Counties League
25/08/2007 - Four Counties League Division 3
Shenley Church End CC - 163 (7 points) lost to
Caddington CC 1st XI - 164-8 (25 points) Shenley's promotion hopes took an untimely dent after an agonising 2 wicket defeat to Caddington in a long hard fought match. The visiting side successfully chased down the average sized total in the 45th over leaving the final game with Open University as the Division Three crunch game.
Church End knew a win would ultimately seal promotion, but as always in Cricket or any sport things are never that straightforward, as SCECC were about to find out. After long deliberations Caddington put the home side into bat on a fair looking Manor Fields strip.
Immediately Shenley were in trouble. Andy Peacock fell, along with Homer Evans for small totals. As Shenley regrouped it looks as if the middle order may hold, it did for a short while, only for then to see Colin Wayman inexplicably edge onto his pad and knock down the off bail.
Anton De Beer cracked a extra cover six in a short innings, but on 13 he edged to first slip, the catch juggled before controlled. Richard Fletcher soon followed, a skidding ball barely left the ground on the bounce to connect with the middle stump. By then the score stood teetering on 52-5.
It was left to Stuart Burke and Nick Rogers to steady the ship. Burke notched a classy 45 and Nick moved on with a steady knock of 34, in a partnership worth 80. But the latter of the two went with 12 overs to go, leaving Simon Sidwell seeing through Burke and Graham Teagle, moving the innings past 150.
Good tight Caddington bowling, from the likes of Paul Harris (3-19) and Ash (3-35), penned Shenley in to very few runs, but the dogged tail was holding. Sidwell fell on 11 to give Jon Pennells his first bat, but the next over he edged on for a score of 163 off 41.2, a beatable total with 2 extra overs passed to the visitors.
By no means were Shenley finished. Determined to regain the upper hand Jon Pennells opened up with no less than 3 wicket chances in 4 overs, all dropped catches. The opening partnership of Simon Pleasant (36) and Dale Skeath (40) always seemed unsteady even though runs came nicely mainly due to spurned catching opportunities or narrowly missed, and numerous run-outs somehow avoided.
However the wicket total rose steadily. Graham Teagle bowled superbly to churn out healthy figures of 10-1-23-2, while Richard Fletcher pitched in with 2-19. De Beer managed to scalp the wicket of Paul Harris, the Caddington middle order main stayer in his 3-32, leaving Caddington merely a few runs away from victory.
Simon Sidwell came on, pushing the economy rate right down, with only 14 runs conceded from 35 balls, taking it into Shenley's unbowled overs. But the difference between the sides was the vital extra over in hand, releasing the pressure on the run chase and giving Caddington a well fought win.
What could have been Shenley's promotion turned into only their second defeat of the campaign. It is now up to SCECC to beat, or even draw at Open University on the final weekend, and hope Biddenham do not secure success against Drayton Parslow. Vitally, it is all in Shenley's hands...
Team: Andy Peacock, Homer Evans, Colin Wayman, Anton DeBeer, Richard Fletcher (c), Stuart Burke, Nick Rogers, Simon Sidwell, Graham Teagle, Jay Fletcher, Jon Pennells. Umpire: Anthony Brace.

Today's photos have one thing in common; they were all taken in low light situations, and I didn't have a tripod handy. OK, that's two things; whatever, but the point is I was able to keep my camera steady using whatever was available. I used a light pole, picnic bench, a rock, and the post on a dock, to get these shots. One other thing they all have in common; they were all taken with a simple point and shoot camera, which I carry with me everywhere.

Since the Christmas season doesn't end until January 6 — The Epiphany — I hope you haven't taken down all your holiday decorations yet. The Epiphany is the day we celebrate the visitation by the 3 Wise Men to the baby Jesus in Bethlehem.
Not only that, but in Italy January 6 is when they receive their Christmas gifts. In fact, it's often celebrated more than Christmas Day. Regardless of the gift giving that doesn't seem quite right. Anyway . . . I'll write more about this Italian Christmas tradition on the sixth of January.
Meanwhile you can take advantage of holiday sales to beef up your decoration inventory for next year. This includes indoor and outdoor décor such as lights … ornaments … Christmas tree toppers … ceramic and fabric Santa Claus or snowmen, reindeer, etc. … Christmas cards … craft supplies … fabric to make various table toppers … and on it goes.
And this is also an ideal time to look for storage containers specifically designed for Christmas decorations: wreath holders; ornament boxes; wrapping paper containers; holders for strings of lights; and other great plastic boxes for storing ceramics, fabric decorations, and anything else you have.
Being organized makes decorating easier and more enjoyable.
One more suggestion: As you buy something new take a HARD look at the decorations you already have. Is there anything you don't use or have grown tired of? Minimize the storage space you need and the clutter we all tend to collect by throwing away a few things.
Try to keep your inventory in control. For example: If you buy two new items, then throw 2 or even 3 things away. Or give them away to charity (e.g., a thrift store, Goodwill, or the Salvation Army).
Enjoy the entire Christmas season. And next week I'll write about the tradition of Befana on the Epiphany, January 6. Meanwhile, enjoy your New Year's celebration and stay safe.

As most of you probably know by now, the verminous members of the New York City Council have enacted yet another law intended to allay any fears the thousands of criminal aliens residing in the Big Apple may have about potential deportation. In this case, the bill would forbid cooperation between the Department of Correction and NYPD and federal immigration officials when an illegal alien has been detained in the City. Refusing to honor immigration detainers is a goal for which open borders fanatics have lobbied political officials for several years.
Prepare to hear more stories of police officers and civilians ruthlessly murdered by these privileged aliens, although don't expect any expressions of remorse or regret from figures like Donna Lieberman. Admitting that you cheered the passage of a bill which will result in the deaths of innocent people-even if they are Americans-is not something that sounds good in a political sound bite, however much spin you put on it.


text: Your living room with a carpet on the floor and without one isn't the same. Carpets are decorative elements of every house and in order to "do their job", they have to be clean. Maintaining a carpet isn't easy as it sounds. It doesn't matter if you have an oriental rug or some other kind of carpet, cleaning is a hard work that has to be done carefully and slowly. There are people that call themselves professional carpet cleaners and oriental rug cleaners. My opinion is that they just have more experience than you and nothing else. Therefore, carpet cleaning can be learned. This "manual" will cover some of the basics when it comes to carpet cleaning. Continue reading "How to keep your carpets looking great"

THERE ARE ONLY TWO TYPES OF RELIGION – Human Accomplishment and Divine Accomplishment – AND THE PRIDE OF MAN HAS SUCCEEDED AT MAKING A VERY SIMPLE NEED COMPLICATED
When we see 'RELIGION' (Human Accomplishment – man), in a black and white, side-by-side comparison with truth (Divine Accomplishment – God), man and his efforts are quickly revealed as nothing shy of sometimes well intended, but empty words. Please, before judging TM for his bold but truthful opinion, bear with him for a moment.
In a court of law we still require two sides to a story for a case to be presented in court, along with a few other things, but for simplicity sake, two sides are suffice … so please see this unrelated yet viable example immediately below … and then a few real life, up to date examples of how we are being bamboozled on what and who to believe.
In USA & Canada we've been told to avoid the pyramid scheme for centuries, because only the people at the top make all the money; good advice, considering it's true. However, when we place the very business model making such claims (our current Job, Banking, Financial system) side-by-side with a proposed business model, we can see as plain as the nose on our face the reason as to why our current system doesn't want any competition; it would be losing multiple trillions of dollars and all control to the people (Coming Soon)! SEE FOR YOURSELF THE SIDE-BY-SIDE TRIANGULAR GRAPHIC.
In a Similar Sense Religion (Human Accomplishment) and God (Divine Accomplishment) Can be Seen … From Contradictory Messages of Religious Leaders to Celebrities Worshiped as Though gods
TM will always say it as it is starting with: YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BELIEVE AS I DO … you are your own person … and the only reason I toss this out there is for those who choose or find themselves pondering very similar ideas and feeling perhaps like they are alone in this … and heaven forbid should you say anything to rock the boat in our sensitive, quick to judge society before us. Does that makes sense?
If you have been following my posts even remotely close, I'm confident you're beginning to get the idea that my story doesn't change … I say it the way I see it … no punches are held back … all while loving all and judging none … and done so as transparently as we will find with every million to one sharing.
Let me close with this. When TM followed the celebrity bible, so to speak, it wasn't until my second wife was asking me to leave our matrimonial home. That's two wives, two big families, plus my own, and two beautiful children who would end up with one or more PT dads (and the did) … and case in point … THE GRASS IS NOT ANY GREENER ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE FENCE … and no amount of money is going to make it better with one person over another … and living together, versus being married, is not going to make one bit of difference should you choose to go in different directions … BUT … being married will redefine your reasons for being together in the first place … rather than just … LET'S SEE IF IT WILL WORK.

Pixel Dungeon - an addictive rogue-like experience
Platform: Android
Developer: Watabou
Genre: RPG, Rogue-like
Date of release: 2013 (usually updated with new contents!)
Website: http://pixeldungeon.watabou.ru/
Google Play link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.watabou.pixeldungeon
Back then there was a game called Rogue. Released in 1980, it was a dungeon crawler game with random dungeon generation, released on multiple platforms. It used a non-graphical (character based) terminal interface, so there was not even pixel art graphics back then. The player could get items, fight monsters, and go deeper in the dark and dangerous dungeons. There are tons of rogue-like games, and Pixel Dungeon is one of them.
|Title screen and menu (I took the screenshots from BlueStacks App Player, yes, you can play it on PC too, it works without any issues!)
The graphics are simple. it's pixel-y, but stylish, it look decent. The creatures are recognizable, the animations are good. There are different kind of floor and wall tiles. There is water at some places, also there are different kind of traps too. It changes environment after each 5 levels after defeating the boss (the first area is in a sewer). Nothing fancy, but it is good enough. Also, the player has a limited vision, which means, you can't see through walls, and plants.
|Your typical inventory screen
The gameplay and controls are pretty self explanatory. You can move your character in a random generated dungeon floor by tapping on a tile. Unlike most rogue-likes, you don't need to use keyboard or/and mouse you only use your finger and that's all, it's very well done. Also, there is a pinch zoom feature.
It's not a real-time game, it's turn based, so moving takes you one turn (except if you are slowed down). So you have time to think, sometimes it is very important. Some bad moves can be fatal! You can attack by tapping on enemies. There are buttons at the bottom of the screen, you have a simple inventory, a secondary attack button (for throw-able weapons and wands). Also, you can wait turns, and search around you. Searching is a good ability, you can check for traps and hidden doors. Very useful. Some items can improve your searching ability. About the combat, it has some randomization factor. All weapons and armors have an average value of damage and damage absorption. Also there is an accuracy and speed property of the items. Some weapons are powerful, but slow, which means, a normal speed enemy can attack twice or more.
|This screen will burn into your retina. The game is very hard!
Food is important too, you can starve to death in this game. starvation depends on your character type (there are four different character classes to choose from at the beginning (well, it's three actually, one of them is locked)). Some levels have locked doors and their keys, these rooms are helpful because they are safe and you can get some items. The game is fun, has a great variety, it's good for both for some minutes of playing, but sometimes, you'll play hours and you will never get bore!
|You have a ranking about your best runs.
|It's time for shopping! It's hard to get here.
In overall, it's a great, fun game. Challenging, yes, you'll die a lot but it is that kind of game that you'll try again and again and again and again... It is never boring. It's very addictive.
And I have to mention its price. It's free. And by free I mean, you don't pay for it, there are no in-game transactions and there aren't any ads! You can donate to the developers (they deserve it) and that's all! If you like these kind of games, try it out. It runs on a lot of devices, easy to control and it is long hours of fun and failure. One of my best finds on Google Play. I'm glad I discovered this gem.
Ratings on a scale of 10:
Graphics: 7
Sound: 7
Gameplay: 10
Controls: 9
Addictiveness: 9
Difficulty: 8
Overall: 9/10 (not an average)
Highly recommended!

Astronomers like me who stick their toes into the waters of public outreach get asked lots of questions, but the most common one is"Do you believe in aliens? " "How do I get a job in astronomy?"
There are lots of answers to that question -- I posted one years ago, and it still holds up IMO -- and Tony Darnell over at Astronomy Buff just posted his take on it as well. I can't find too much fault with what he wrote; it dovetails with what I wrote, too. With new observatories going online, we'll be flooded with far more data than any 100 astronomers can sift through. I hope that the folks in charge of such projects just go ahead and make the data public; that way hordes of online readers can find the gems in the noise.
But we'll always need trained eyes to work on the data, and to make sure the data are cleaned up nicely and ready for analysis. That's hard to do automatically and get right 100% of the time -- I did it for some time, and it's tough work, but man, when you find that gem...!
