I have been reading for quite a long time now and I started noticing a pattern in the books I choose, lately. If some people shy away from emotions, books that will make them sob for hours on end, even on public transportation, I have a weird tendancy to actually GO TOWARDS THESE BOOKS.
Let's be honest here: if you tell me a book will make me cry, I'm 140% more enclined to add it to my TBR.
💔 Why I love books that BREAK me
Thing is, as much as I hate these kind of books, especially when I'm holding them, reading the words and seeing them blur right in front of my eyes because I'm crying… Whenever I close the book, I realize that… yeah, as stupid as it all was, as MAD AS I AM that I cried yet again on public transportation because of THIS DAMN BOOK… Well. The book made me feel something.
It's crazy, isn't it? The way we're able to read words on a page, get away and hallucinate for hours on end while reading these simple words. The way some authors are able to grab these very words, get them out of the page, tugging on all of your feelings, eyeballs or whatever and manage to draw actual tears from you. You're just READING WORDS on a page, yet you're feeling all of the emotions. That always striked me as weird. That always striked me as all kinds of amazing. (Also, to be honest, this is kind of a writers' goal. Managing to make people cry with my writing)
So, yeah. I LOVE books that break me. Whether it's because the situation is just so awful, the world-building is fabulous and just so plain wrong, the characters are so adorable and they don't deserve this massive alien space-ship or whatever falling down on them. Whether it's about some terrible illness or just someone going away. Sometimes, because you relate to it on a personal level, or just because you manage to relate to the great characters in the story, see the unfairness of the world in-between the pages… Well, before you know it, you're crying.
And before you know it, you're actually happy to be crying. Feeling something.
When I cry, I know it's a book I will remember.
I couldn't resist. This is a gif from the amazing Your Name. You know, just watch this. This should make you cry as well. #cruelrecommendations
📚 Feeling emotional? Need a good cry? Grab on some tissues, here comes the recommendations!
Since I'm really nice and I don't want to be the only one sobbing, I obviously have some recommendations ready for you. I won't tell you why these books made me cry, some of these are pretty obvious, some others not, unless you've already read them.
Side note: I often cry while reading books, so… yeah, don't blame me if you don't cry, okay? Okay.
Side note n°2: Before you ask: YES. I cried while reading all of these, and more I'm probably forgetting here.
Side note n°3: And YES. ACTUAL-TEARS-falling-down-my-face-crying. #oops
I rated all of these books 4 stars or more. Crying apparently influence the way I'm rating books?! I LIKE EMOTIONS. #oops
Do you like book that make you feel ALL THE EMOTIONS, or do you avoid them?! Do you cry while reading books or not at all? Am I the only very emotional reader here? Does TEARS influence your rating?!
What is the last book that made you cry? Do you have any books recommendations for me? Let me know your thoughts in comments!

The slide set first introduces the problem of facility location along with the broader topic of logistics management. It then presents appropriate distance measures and a classification of planar facility location problems based on these measures. Four types of planar single facility location models are studied in detail. These models consider two different objective functions (minimizing the total travel distance and minimizing the maximum travel distance) and two distance measures (rectilinear distance and Euclidean distance). Lastly, the planar multi-facility location problem with rectilinear distance and the objective of minimizing the total travel distance is studied. Examples and solutions for all five location problems considered in this module are also provided.
This module was developed by Dr. Jose Ventura.
|Determining Type and Number of Automated Guided Vehicles Required in a System
This model introduces the vehicle calculation problem in automated material handling systems. The presentation starts by introducing the major factors which affect this problem such as unit load size, flow path network and P/D station location and how they relate to each other. The model then introduces the basic vehicle calculation formula which is based on quantifying the different states the vehicles may be in. Next the model presents and classifies the different calculation methods according to simple versus complex methods, one dimensional versus multi dimensional methods and analytical based versus simulation base methods. Finally the model presents a numerical example and solution.
This Module was developed by Dr. David Sinreich

Here is an overview of what files are included in the Order Profiling ZIP file:
This classroom module demonstrates the relationship between historical order data and the order profiles that are used to design/modify distribution centers by providing PowerPoint presentation resources and homework exercises for the classroom.
To effectively design a distribution center, it is important to have a clear picture of what is needed from the facility. This includes information about the products that will be stored in the facility and the orders that need to be filled by the facility. To create a picture of the orders that distribution center will be filling, the problem is usually not a lack of data, but too much undigested data. A distribution center can quickly accumulate hundreds of thousands of orders in a historical database, which can be overwhelming. Designers can then use the combined profiles to select the appropriate equipment for storage and picking and to set up the layout of the facility.
The classroom module describes how the relevant order data is summarized to generate various order profiles. Then, examples of how those profiles would be used are discussed, including some of the design decisions that would be made based on the shape of the profile.
The module does not discuss in detail how to design a distribution center based on the order profiles. There are many factors that need to be taken into account when developing a design and this level of detail is beyond the scope of this module. However, after using this classroom module, students should be capable of creating basic profiles and discussing the facility's operation requirements with the distribution center designer.
A file containing answers to the homework questions will be provided by CICMHE to qualified instructors by request to cicmhe[at]mhi[dot]org. Please reference this module in your email and provide a link to your faculty webpage or other proof of instructor status.
This module was developed by Dr. Dale Masel through support provided by the Order Fulfillment Solutions industry group and was approved by CICMHE in September 2008.
By using this module, students will learn about automated guided vehicles (AGVs) and AGV Systems (AGVS). In particular, after being introduced to AGV technology, the students will be presented with analytical models to determine the number of AGVs needed in an AGVS. A computerized decision-support tool that implements the analytical models can then be used to reinforce the models and/or to solve large problems. A case study is included for application of the models and decision-support tool.
The lecture resources can be used over two 75-minute lecture periods to introduce AGVS and the analytical models to determine the number of AGVs in a system. The computerized tool and case study can be introduced in a third lecture (and can be modified only to consider the AGV aspect of the case). Each part of the case should take approximately a week or one week and a half for the students to complete.
Here is an overview of what files are included in the AGV ZIP file:
This module was developed by Dr. Russell Meller and Dr. Brett Peters and approved by CICMHE in April 2005.
In this module, students will use rules-of-thumb to provide an estimate of how much a material handling system will cost. Two competing material handling systems with different design philosophies and capabilities will be used to highlight how alternatives can be evaluated.
The goals of this module are: 1) to give some appreciation to the students with respect to how much material handling equipment costs; and 2) provide them with a framework for making decisions between competing material handling systems.
The module is based on material from the Design Plans and Ideas section of Modern Materials Handling, © 1996-2001 and Gross & Associates, "Rules of Thumb," © 1999 document.

Is it possible in OpenCL to communicate GPU to GPU over PCIe? I understand that the CPU runs the "host" that does all of the cleanup, and some computation, and the GPU's are almost used as a co-processor with "localities", but is that as far as it can go?
I know that I run a crossfire setup, where the GPU's are linked together, but could it be better to NOT run them in Xfire, and run a "sub-host" on one GPU, and let that do some "local-hosting" to offload/speedup some of the CPU to GPU work? Maybe, dual GPU cards could have one "master" and one "slave" chip, determined by the OpenCL app, and run different threads, like all of its read/write to global duties, almost like a GPU cacher.
Or, maybe I just drank a few too many? LOL :shock:

About Lila Downs
Lila Downs is a bicultural border-crosser who grew up both in Minnesota and the Sierra Madre mountains and Oaxaca in Mexico. She has a strong interest in Mexico's native cultures; her mother is a Zapotec Indian, and Downs has studied and sung in languages including Zapotec, Nahuatl, Maya and Mixtec. Though as a college student she intended to sing opera, a period of soul-searching (which included following the Grateful Dead around) led her to investigate traditional Mexican music, albeit through a modern, jazz-influenced filter. She toured with bands like los Cadetes de Yodoyuxi and la Trova Serrana, and began to find her signature style when she hooked up with saxophonist Paul Cohen. From 1999's La Sandunga to 2004's Una Sangre: One Blood, Downs has carved a unique niche for herself: an innovator working off of native traditions, she's both a champion of native cultures and a darling of the world music scene.

Wind Chills near zero early Friday morning
Bitter cold early Friday morning with temperatures in the low teens and single digits. West wind is increasing and gusts to 25-30mph today. So, while we'll see a high near 32, it won't feel like it with the blustery conditions. It will feel much more like mid 20s through the afternoon. Plenty of sun and dry air for today and much of Saturday.
Clouds increase later tomorrow with highs closer to 30 and it's a lot less windy! A storm passes to our south and clips us with clouds and light snow or flurries later Saturday night. There is some chance for patchy, freezing drizzle after 11pm Saturday night.
Traveling to Green Bay for the Packer game should be pretty good. The moisture for tomorrow night is limited to the far southern part of Wisconsin. 25 in Green Bay for tailgating and about 20 for kickoff temps. Just a few flurries fly late.

Hubble captures a 'quintuple' quasar
The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has captured the first-ever picture of a distant quasar lensed into five images. In addition the image holds a treasure of lensed galaxies and even a supernova.
The most unique feature in this new image taken with the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope is a group of five quasar images produced by a process called 'gravitational lensing'. By this process the gravitational field of an extremely massive body - in this case, a cluster of galaxies - warps the surrounding space. The light emitted from an object - in this case, a quasar – travels amplified and bended, and multiple images of the light source may be seen, each taking a different path through the warped space.
Although other multiply lensed quasars have been seen before, this is the only case so far in which multiple quasar images are produced by an entire galaxy cluster acting as a gravitational lens.
The galaxy cluster creating the lens is known as SDSS J1004+4112 and was discovered as part of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. It is one of the more distant clusters known (seven thousand million light-years), and the image we observe today was 'projected' when the Universe was half of its present age. The cluster also creates a cobweb of images of other distant galaxies gravitationally lensed into arcs.
The background quasar observed by Hubble is the brilliant core of a galaxy. It is powered by a black hole, which is devouring gas and dust and creating a gusher of light in the process. When the quasar's light passes through the gravity field of the galaxy cluster that lies between us and the quasar, the light is bent by the space-warping gravity field in such a way that five separate images of the object are produced around the cluster's centre.
The fifth quasar image is embedded to the right of the core of the central galaxy in the cluster. A gravitational lens will always produce an odd number of lensed images, but one image is usually very weak and embedded deep within the light of the lensing object itself.
Though previous observations of SDSS J1004+4112 have revealed four of the images of this system, Hubble's sharp vision and the high magnification of this gravitational lens combine to place a fifth image far enough from the core of the central imaging galaxy to make it visible as well.
The galaxy hosting the background quasar is at a distance of 10 thousand million light years, and it can be seen in the image as faint red arcs. This is the most highly magnified quasar host galaxy ever seen.
The Hubble picture also shows a large number of stretched arcs that are more distant galaxies lying behind the cluster, each of which is split into multiple distorted images. The most distant galaxy identified and confirmed so far is 12 thousand million light years away.
By comparing this image to a picture of the cluster obtained with Hubble a year earlier, the researchers discovered a rare event - a supernova exploding in one of the cluster galaxies. This supernova exploded seven thousand million years ago, and the data, together with other supernova observations, are being used to understand how the Universe was enriched by heavy elements through these explosions.

HP Folio 13 - An Elite Ultrabook
An Elite Ultrabook
Over the last year, the world's biggest PC manufacturer may seem like they've lost focus in its hardware business, especially after discontinuing support for their HP Tablet and webOS-based smartphones. However ever since CES 2012, we see HP making a comeback with a strong line-up of their PC computing products like the HP Envy 14 Spectre and Envy 15 for demanding consumers, to the HP Z1 AIO workstations to address space-constrained businesses needing a capable machine. Another such product that gives indication of HP's dedication to its PC computing business, is the 13-inch HP Folio 13. At first glance, you'd probably be inclined to think that you're looking at yet another HP Elitebook albeit one that is much thinner.
However once you pick the machine up, you'll know instantly that this isn't one of those business oriented Elitebooks that weigh upwards of 2kg and is in fact an Ultrabook. Even the model name - Folio - that HP chose is a Latin word used to describe a leaf of paper. A fitting name for an Ultrabook, that is lighter than it looks, but it'll be worth your while to note that the HP Folio 13 pushes the boundaries of a 13-inch Ultrabook's acceptable weight at 1.5kg. This slightly heavier than expected is due to a higher capacity battery than other Ultrabooks and we'll see how it translates in our testing later in this review.
Looks-wise, the HP Folio 13 has the same kind of brushed aluminum lid that you might expect to see on Elitebooks, with a lone reflective logo (that doesn't light up) in the middle of the notebook's lid. The Folio may not have the most striking of designs, which you often see on HP's Envy line of notebooks, but we found its unassuming looks to be surprisingly pleasing. The fairly thick aluminum build lends a sense of rigidity to the notebook, especially to its lid. Even the bottom cover of the machine is made from a single piece of aluminum. Save for a couple of vents, the bottom is fairly featureless, which is a good thing. Apart from its appearances, one other lesser known aspect of a notebook that gives away it's business-centric nature are the exposed screws throughout the bottom of the machine. This usually means that in the event of hardware failure, the machine can easily be taken apart and the offending component easily replaced by your friendly IT department personnel.
And in case you're still confused as to whether the HP Folio 13 is suitable for your business or not, you can take a look at the left side of the machine. Most consumer oriented Ultrabooks these days would eschew the RJ45 port because they simply aren't used outside of a corporate environment. On the HP Folio 13, it's right there with an HDMI port, USB 2.0 port and SD card reader on the left side of the machine, while the right side has a combined audio and microphone jack, and a USB 3.0 port.
By now, an IT department's alarm bells would be ringing and wondering what happened of the VGA port? Well there is none, simply because its 2012, and businesses by now should be slowly evolving to adopt other display connectivity options to conduct presentations on a big screen. We understand that many projectors have only VGA inputs as these products have a longer shelf life, but considering that an HDMI to VGA converter will only set you back a few dollars, we think it's a decent tradeoff to supporting newer standards. Perhaps HP should actually consider bundling this converter accessory to make its package more complete (and we hope HP would consider our thoughts on this).

Almost a year ago, Sanyo released its Incognito messaging phone for Sprint. Though we appreciated its spacious keyboard and call quality, we weren't so impressed by the exterior touch controls and tiny display. Sure, the design was attractive and original, but it just wasn't for us.
Now, just over 11 months later, Sanyo and Sprint are giving the design another go with the Innuendo SCP-6780 (no, we don't get the "Innuendo" name, either). It's slimmer and less angular, but like its predecessor it's not always easy to use. You can get it for $49.99 with a two-year contract and after a $50 mail-in rebate.
As mentioned, the Innuendo closely resembles the earlier Incognito. Indeed, you'll see the same exterior features and flip-open design. It's also about the same size as the Incognito (4.2 inches long by 2.2 inches wide by 0.6 inch thick), but the curved ends give it a trim and more aerodynamic profile. The Innuendo has a more attractive blue color, but its glossy surface also shows smudges and fingerprints way too easily. We like that it catches the light--and you can use it to check your teeth before a date--but the fingerprints are distracting and unappealing.
The exterior touch controls are similar as well, though Sanyo tweaked the design slightly and added a dedicated speakerphone control. Otherwise, you'll find the standard 12-digit keypad, a back key, the Talk and End buttons, four directional arrows, and a central OK button. Here again, the arrangement is spacious, but you can't dial by feel and the surface is slick. Vibration feedback helps a bit, but not much. What's more, we remain dissatisfied with the smaller external display. Not only is it monochrome, so it won't show photo caller ID, but also you can access only a few menu options.
In contrast, the Innuendo mixes up the remaining external controls just a bit. The Micro-USB charger port and small volume rocker remain on the right spine, but the microSD card slot is now inconveniently located behind the battery. The camera lens sits on the rear side next to a speaker and on the top of the device are a 2.5mm headset jack and the power control.
The hinge runs the length of the Innuendo's left spine. It's a tad bulky, but the trade-off is a sturdy construction that feels solid (3.4 ounces). The mechanism is neither too loose nor too stiff, and the phone clicks into place on either end. The Innuendo opens almost a full 180 degrees, albeit with a slight S curve. Unless it's opened completely, it wobbles slightly when resting on a table.
The internal display measures 2.8 inches (the Incognito has a 2.6-inch screen) and supports 262,000 colors. Its resolution (400x240 pixels) is slightly higher than the Incognito, which means you'll have a rich viewing experience. The display has a landscape orientation, and Sprint's OneClick interface offers customizable shortcuts to favorite features.
Below the hinge are the two soft keys. As they're not directly under the corresponding command on the screen, the arrangement may not be intuitive at first. The keyboard has just three rows, which means letters share space with numbers and symbols, but the keys are large and spaced far apart. We could dial and text quickly without any issues, and we appreciate that the buttons aren't completely flush. You'll also find a navigation toggle, Talk and End/power buttons, a back control, a camera shutter, a speakerphone control, a key for accessing emoticons, a messaging shortcut, and a spacious, well-positioned space bar.
With the exception of a higher-resolution camera, the Innuendo's feature set is almost unchanged from the Incognito. As such, portions of this section are taken from the Incognito review.
The Innuendo's 600-contact phone book has room in each entry for multiple phone numbers, an e-mail address, a street address, an instant-messaging ID, a URL, and notes. You also can organize callers into groups and pair them with a photos and one of 39 (72-chord) polyphonic ringtones. Sprint offers a wireless backup service for your contacts in case you lose your phone.

The opening is very wide. The metal locking gate adds safety from the accidental opening of the gate while avoiding human error. Learning how to open the gate with one hand is somewhat challenging, but it is easy enough to figure out.

Chairman Goodlatte Introduces Ag Guestworker Bill
Washington, D.C. – House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.) today introduced the Agricultural Guestworker "AG" Act (H.R. 1773) a bill to provide American farmers with a workable temporary agricultural guestworker program that will help provide access to a reliable workforce. Chairman Goodlatte released the following statement on the bill's introduction.
Chairman Goodlatte: "Today's introduction of the AG Act is one piece that brings us closer to solving the immigration puzzle. While it is important that we reform our immigration system as a whole, we must look at each of the individual issues within the larger system to ensure that we get immigration reform right. If we fail to examine each issue methodically, we risk making the same mistakes of the past that have created the problems we face today.
"One component that needs fixing is our temporary agricultural guestworker program, which American farmers avoid using altogether since it exposes them to frivolous litigation and burdens them with excessive regulations. The new guestworker program created under the AG Act remedies this problem by removing red tape, streamlining access to a reliable workforce, and protecting farmers from abusive lawsuits. It also allows more participation in the guestworker program by opening it up to dairies and food processors, both of which often need access to foreign labor. In addition, the AG Act is good for those seeking a better life for their families by providing opportunities to earn a living while temporarily working in agricultural jobs U.S. citizens are not willing to do.
"By putting farmers in the driver's seat rather than Washington bureaucrats, they will be better equipped to compete in the global economy and continue growing our crops. It is vital that American farmers have access to a workable guestworker program now so that they can continue putting food on Americans' tables. We have to get this right so that farmers aren't burdened with another failed guestworker program for decades to come."
Original cosponsors of the AG Act include Reps. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.), Blake Farenthold (R-Texas), George Holding (R-N.C.), Ted Poe (R-Texas), Lamar Smith (R-Texas), and Lynn Westmoreland (R-Ga.).
Key Components of H.R. 1773:
Eliminates Excessive Red Tape: The new temporary agricultural guestworker program removes barriers and excessive paperwork farmers face in hiring foreign workers. If a grower is designated as a registered agricultural employer by USDA and agrees to the terms and obligations of participating in the program, then they can easily hire guestworkers already admitted to the U.S. without having to file yet another petition for the individual worker. The new guestworker program's petition process is also attestation based, meaning that the grower simply has to promise to meet the program's standards rather than having to prove in advance that they will.
Protects Farmers from Abusive Litigation: In order to discourage frivolous and abusive litigation against growers, growers may require as a condition of employment that guestworkers be subject to binding arbitration and mediation of any grievances in relation to the employment relationship. This bill also eliminates special treatment for the Legal Services Corporation.
Enacts Market-Based Approach to Meet Demand and Supply: The bill eliminates the artificial government-imposed wage rate that is part of the current temporary agricultural guestworker program and replaces it with the prevailing wage rate or the state minimum wage—whichever is greater. And while the cap for the new program is set at 500,000, the Secretary of Agriculture has the authority to raise or lower the cap based on the demands and needs of the market.
Helps American Farmers Keep Up with Global Competitors: The new guestworker program will allow American growers to better compete in the global economy by removing the exorbitant costs associated with abusive litigation, excessive regulation, and artificially high, government-imposed wage rates.
Farmer Friendly: The bill designates the Department of Agriculture to administer the new guestworker program rather than the Department of Labor. USDA is better equipped to help farmers and better understands their needs.
Protects Taxpayers: Under the new program, guestworkers are not eligible for Obamacare, the Earned Income Tax Credit, the Child Tax Credit, or other welfare programs.

Honey Exchange
Second Annual Honey Exchange
Hey, Look at that one!
When was the last time you tried honey from Virginia? South Carolina? Or Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Tennessee or even Ontario? Unless you travel on a routine basis (or buy Wal-Mart honey that says it's from somewhere in the states) chances are that you don't have lots of opportunities to explore, experiment and enjoy honeys other than 'local'. Well, EAS 2004 has a plan to broaden your horizons, improve your palate, tease your taste buds and let you explore the whole wide world of EAS honey…and you are part of the plan.
Here's what we're going to do. You bring up to 3, one pound glass or plastic bottles of your famous, wonderful and perfect honey to the EAS Conference this year. It has to have your label on it, and something (either directly on the label or a second label on top or the back) that tells what kind of honey it is, and, if possible, when you harvested it. If it has all of that, when you arrive at Registration, you turn in your 3 bottles, and we'll give you 3 Honey Exchange Tickets. Then, your honey goes on display, right in the vendor area on our Honey Display Table, so everyone can see what's available. They'll be able to look at all the fancy labels, at the varieties, at all the colors and kinds of honey that EAS members produce. This year we're going to keep it to just 3 bottles, so if at all possible, bring 3 bottles that are all the same variety, color and flavor.
Then, on Friday afternoon, bring your Honey Exchange Tickets to the Vendor area, and you can pick and choose from all the honey that others have brought. You give a ticket, and take a jar. It's as simple as that. The Second Annual EAS Honey Exchange.
Now, you may not get that jar you wanted because somebody got there first. It happens. What can you do? For starters, bring some extra labels or business cards so if somebody didn't get your perfect honey, they can take a label or a card and get in touch with you later. Even if they did, they may want more. Or may be able to sell some of your honey at their place… they'll need to know how to get a hold of you. And, if there was something you thought was the best you ever tasted… you can get in touch with them.
So. Bring 3 jars of you best, and take home three jars of somebody else's best. Be a part of the Second Annual EAS Honey Exchange this year. And remember, this is in ADDITION TO the return of the EAS Honey Show. Be sure to check out the Honey Show rules so you know what to do to submit your prize-winning competitive entries in addition to your Honey Exchange treasures.

Ok, we didn't actually make New Year's resolutions but we did set some goals. For me, buy more shoes! That wasn't truthful either, though I could manage to stick to that goal for the year. I want to be more thoughtful about purchases like clothes and other items that find their way into our home on a regular basis and too many times these items that felt like a necessity when we bought them, have much shorter life spans than we intended. I admit I do this with clothes far too often, find something I like in the moment and just a couple months later I'm on to the next thing.
The cup, that I bought last month, will be around for a while. I love the cork base which obviously keeps from heat transferring to your digits but also has the best texture. Oh, and I like the lack of a handle, I never use those anyways.

excellent goals...i find i buy cheap, clearance clothes far too often...and then the cheapy quality shows through after a couple of washes. yikes. best of luck with your goals.ReplyDelete

Why is it that your new cup won't be around? It sounds like it is wonderful?ReplyDelete
I have the same question as Anonymous ... do you not like the cup?ReplyDelete
But I agree though. I have so many purchases in my house that I thought were absolutely needed, but after a few uses they are being shipped to goodwill. I am getting into the habit of questioning every purchase now. I ask myself if its a necessity or just for fun. That has helped me out numerous times now.
Good luck with these resolutions girl!
@Anonymous-Oops, that was quite the typo! I meant that the cup will be around for a while.ReplyDelete
I seem to have the same issue with clothing! I need to be better about only buying what I need. Too many clothes end up in the donation pile too frequently!ReplyDelete
I was wondering what kind of camera and settings do you use when you take these great vivid close up photos? I would love to know! your photos are ALWAYS so crisp and clean looking.ReplyDelete
Thank you for your comments, I love hearing from you!

My styling session yesterday was amazing. I'll spill all in a later post - I don't really have time right now, plus my head's spinning a bit from information overload, so I want to wait for Meaghan's written summary.
Probably the biggest thing I took away from our session is a lot more knowledge about the kind of styles that work for my shape. What is my shape? Well, let's just say if I was a Mad Men character, I'd be Joan Holloway.
|Joanie knows how to work those curves!
I highly recommend Meaghan's services if you want some help - either in person (if you're in Melbourne) or online. Her blog's well worth a read too for tips, shopping bargains and all things style and fashion.
There's a good chance I may be cruising the shops at lunchtime. Just looking though....warming up for the real deal once I have my shopping list in hand.

If it seems like fewer kids are bicycling or walking to school these days, you are correct! According to Safe Routes to Schools, in 1969 about 50 percent of all children walked or bicycled to school and about 87 percent of kids lived within a mile of their schools. Today, fewer than 15 percent of schoolchildren walk or ride a bike to school.
The net result of this drop-off in school bicycling and walking: many kids today are less active, less independent and less fit than their parents and grandparents were at the same ages years ago. But it doesn't have to be that way.
Working with Safe Routes to School, schools are coming up with cool ways to make it safe and fun to get to school on two wheels or two feet. How? By organizing "walking school buses" or "bike trains."
According to walkingschoolbus.org, a walking school bus is a group of children walking to school with one or more adults. It can be as informal as two families taking turns walking their kids to school or as structured as a route with meeting points, a timetable and a regularly rotated schedule of trained volunteers. A bike train is similar, with a supervised group of students riding bicycles on a pre-arranged route to school. Bicycle trains are best suited for older elementary school children.
A 2011 report on Safe Routes efforts at Minneapolis Public Schools describes how Lyndale Community School in South Minneapolis created a Walking School Bus. Before Lyndale School launched a walking bus program, parent-leader Scott Borden mapped four routes and did a practice run to make sure enough time was allowed at each stop. The school supported his efforts by creating participation forms and maps.
In the 2010-11 school year, Minneapolis district staff estimate that students who used the Walking School Bus logged a combined 3,200 miles. The report noted, "The Walking School Buses themselves are a form of advertising, as other parents and students see groups walking through the neighborhood or arriving at school together."
Here are some tips and guidelines for walking or bicycling to school:
Walking to class
With a trusted adult, pick a route to and from school or the bus stop, practice it, and always use this route. Choose a route with the fewest street crossings. Avoid crossing busy streets. Walk on sidewalks whenever possible.
Always cross at an intersection — at a corner. You can cross in the middle of a street if there is a painted crosswalk. Only cross where you are able to see both ways down the street.
Never cross between parked cars. By avoiding crossing between parked cars, drivers can see you and avoid hitting you.
Never run out into the street. Don't assume cars can see you just because you can see them.
Bicycling to school
As with walking to school, plot out the best route and try it out ahead of time. For instance, avoid busy roads when there are quieter routes to the same place.
Invest in a solid used or new bike that's appropriately fitted to your child's size. Include a U-shaped bike lock, and a light for the front of his/her bike and a rear reflector (both are required by law). There are many local bike shops that sell refurbished bicycles.
Make sure your child has a helmet that fits properly. For visibility, your child should wear brightly-colored clothing, or at least fluorescent tape or markings on their clothing and/or backpack.
Follow all the rules of the road. Always observe stop signs (even if no other vehicle is visible), yield signs and other traffic markers. Use extra caution when passing driveways and entrances to businesses and housing developments and when riding in parking lots. Encourage children to walk their bikes across busy intersections.

You will need about a 4 lb fresh sugar pie pumpkin to make 1 1/2 cups of pureed pumpkin, its so easy.
Buy the pumpkin put them in the oven and bake them as followed on the directions, there is always a label to tell you how to cook them, normally, sliced in half, scoop out seeds (set seeds them aside on another cookie sheet), pulp side down on a greased cookie sheet. Place in the oven on 375 degrees, for about an hour and a half. When cool, take a spoon and the insides of the pumpkins will scoop easily.
Mash by hand or for smooth puree put in a food processor just a few seconds. It won't take long at all and what a difference in taste, fresh is the best. Of course you can used canned in a hurry. The 15 oz size will do. That's it your ready to make all the wonderful other recipes online or on my site with it now!

I decided to have tres leches cake as my birthday cake this year for a number of reasons:
First: I hate dry cake. I'd rather pass on the cake and just have a bowl of ice cream if the cake is dry and crumbly. Tres leches cake is never dry: a sponge cake is soaked with a mixture of three milks which makes every bite taste like cake and custard at the same time.
Secondly: I love whipped cream. Icing is delicious and obviously traditional topping for cakes but secretly I would choose whipped cream over icing any day. Especially if its freshly whipped with good vanilla extract in it.
Third: It's fun soaking the cake with the milk mixture. You don't have to be careful or precise, you just soak the cake in milky deliciousness and banish any dry-cake worries you might have.
It all starts with a sponge cake. You bake the sponge and then turn it out onto a tray to prepare it to be soaked with milk(s). This preparation consists of poking it with a fork all over so that the milks can soak in.
Then a can of condensed milk, a can of evaporated milk, and some cream are mixed together and drizzled all over the cake.
If you've baked with condensed milk, or have eaten desserts made with condensed milk before you should already know why this cake is so freaking delicious. If you haven't, you probably shouldn't wait too much longer.
It's ok to really soak the cake with the milk mixture. Sponge cake holds liquid beautifully without being soggy or breaking down into mush. I soaked the cake before brunch started and used all but one cup of the milk mixture. It needs some time to soak up the milk so plan for at least 30 minutes before serving.
The cake will drink up all the deliciousness and will be ready to be crowned with clouds of whipped cream.
It doesn't need to be smoothed over perfectly or piped out all fancy. Just cover it with whipped cream and be done with it.
It's moist, milky, and not overly sweet or heavy. Even after a gigantic meal we were able to eat two slices each.
Tres Leches Cake
(from Pioneer Woman)
- 1 cup All-purpose Flour
- 1-½ teaspoon Baking Powder
- ¼ teaspoons Salt
- 5 whole Eggs
- 1 cup Sugar, Divided
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla
- ⅓ cups Milk
- 1 can Evaporated Milk
- 1 can Sweetened, Condensed Milk
- ¼ cups whipping cream (heavy cream)
For the Topping
- 1 pint whipping cream
- powdered sugar to taste (I use less than 1/3 cup)
- 1 tsp vanilla
1. Preheat oven to 350. Butter or spray a 9 x 13 pan
2. Separate the eggs with the whites in one bowl and the yolks in another
3. In a third bowl (a large one), combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.
4. Beat the egg yolks with 3/4 cup sugar on high speed until yolks are pale yellow. Stir in milk and vanilla. Pour egg yolk mixture over the flour mixture and stir very gently until combined.
5. Beat egg whites on high speed until soft peaks form. With the mixer on, pour in remaining 1/4 cup sugar and beat until egg whites are stiff and glossy but not dry
6. Gently fold the egg white mixture into the batter until just combined. The pour into your prepared pan and spread to even out the surface.
7. Bake for 35 to 45 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Turn cake out onto tray or other rimmed platter and let cool completely. I've only had trouble getting the cake out of the pan once but don't worry if it doesn't come out perfectly. Whipped cream hides everything
8. Combine condensed milk, evaporated milk, and heavy cream in a small pitcher. pierce the cake's surface with a fork all over. Slowly drizzle all but about 1 cup of the milk mixture making sure to also soak the edges of the cake
9.Let the cake sit and soak in the milk mixture for at least 30 minutes. Meanwhile, whip the cream with the powdered sugar and vanilla until thick and fluffy.
10. Cover the cake with whipped cream and serve. Keep any leftovers refrigerated.

But hang on a minute, this isn't a post about yogurt. This is about one of my favorite things to eat it with - fruit preserves. The strawberry jam I made recently was perfect for this! Another type of jam that I love having with yogurt is guava. Until I make my own guava jam (a personal goal of mine), I am very happy with this one using the "authentic old spanish recipe of Dona Maria Luz from Hacienda Conchita". It is so good I've gone through about 3 jars already this year I think.
But wait, what is this? There's a new kid on the block and she's competing for mr. yogurt's attention, you say? She calls herself Jalea de Manga. Hmmm, pretty fancy name there for mango jam. But does she bring it?
Ohhhh she brought it, alright! She's beautiful, golden like the sunset, and sweet. But don't be fooled by her mild sweetness, she packs a mighty fruity punch! She's not bogged down by too much sugar and is free of preservatives just like Ms. Guava Jelly over there. She's luscious and voluptuous whereas guava jelly is smooth and alluring. Pretty stiff competition don't you think?
Guava Jelly (P190) and Jalea de Manga (P215) are available by order.
Just call 842-1374/75
Pick up at 132 Bunga St. Ayala Alabang

TODAY'S GAME: Tonight, the Bisons host the Durham Bulls in the final two games of a four-game set at Coca-Cola Field (Game 1: 5:30 p.m.). The teams will play a doubleheader today because of yesterday's postponement. The Herd has won three straight games, all come-from-behind one-run victories.
VS. THE BULLS: The Bisons are 3-3 against Durham this year, including two straight wins to open this four-game series. The Herd has a chance tonight to pick up only its second four-game sweep of the Bulls ever. Buffalo won all four games when hosting Durham, June 14-17, 2002. The Bisons have won eight of their last 10 games against the Bulls at Coca-Cola Field.
COMEBACK KIDS: The Bisons have won three straight games despite trailing in the 6th inning in all of them. It's the second time this season the club has posted three straight comeback wins as the team also rallied three straight times, June 24-26 against Norfolk.

Mr. VP: INF VALENTINO PASCUCCI leads the Bisons with 18 home runs and 82RBI. With 23 games left, the slugger needs 18RBI to become just the fourth Bisons hitter to reach 100RBI in a season.

LET'S PLAY TWO: This is the Bisons sixth doubleheader of the season. The team has posted an even 5-5 record in twinbills. The last time the Herd hosted two in one day at Coca-Cola Field it swept the Gwinnett Braves 5-3 and 2-1 on May 29. Buffalo also swept a pair from Rochester at home on April 21.
BISONS BITS: The Bisons are 17-13 in 30 games against IL South division opponents this year…INF VALENTINO PASCUCCI'S 82RBI are tied with Yankees' Jorge Vazquez for the league lead. The last Bisons hitter to lead the league in RBI at season's end was OF Nigel Wilson, who drove in 95 in 1996 to lead the American Association…Tomorrow, the Herd will welcome the Toledo Mud Hens to town, a team they haven't faced since July 26, 2010.
METS UPDATE: The Diamondbacks completed a three-game sweep of the Mets (58-62) with a 5-3 victory yesterday. Former Bisons OF LUCAS DUDA hit his fourth home run of the season and drove in two runs.

Compton, California
"Straight Outta Compton!"
Compton (Komptin) the polar opposite of Reno, NV. where once hung the sign "nigger, don't let the sun set on you in this town", In 'da hood, dey is all bro's with the guv'ment 'fo yo daddy, who needs a drunk black man around? endangered species include wheels with spinners and there is public concern that rent-a-wheel may run out of 24's.
Compton is an independent feudalist nation which resides entirely within the United States (kind of like Vatican City, but thug). The nation of Compton holds the world record for most consecutive years at the number 1 spot on the World Census' "Most dangerous Country in the World" list, with 100 consecutive years. The average annual murder rate in Compton is 84% of all citizens. Compton also has a nice rich black area. According to the crackheads, drug dealers, sluts,gangsters and millionaires of the city, they consider only %5 percent of the city to be calm, nice, friendly and wealthy, and the rest as a war-zone;however, the city officials sees it the other way around, they see 99% of Compton as nice,calm and friendly and only 1% as a war-zone.
If this page is found, call Taco Bell. Ask for Chicho, and tell him to give you the Bob Marley extra-crispy.
Compton is controlled by regional warlords, or "Multi-Platinum Recording Artists". These warlords gain their status by participating in Compton's national sports of Badnimtten, and jazz competitions. Each warlord controls a piece of land, or "unit", which vary in size depending on the jazz album sales of the warlord. Every four years, the warlords will send one of their best jesters into the city. The jesters roam the city, and when two jesters encounter each other, they must engage in a comedic colaboration and then a violent tounge twister ficade. The competion winner's warlord will then be become the ruler of Compton for four more years until the next competition.(warlord = lord of war)(war = douchebags with guns)
Compton's economy has always been one of the best, and it still flourishes to this day. Compton's main exports are crack, guns, crystal meth, and cheap prostitutes. Unemployment is among the lowest, and there are many high-paying jobs like janitors, drug dealers, and cashiers at that Chinese joint. In addition, many of these jobs are held by grade school dropouts, or people who just plain didn't bother going to school.
Fried Chicken is the primary food source in Compton. There are more than 50 Popeyes located across Compton, along with 25 KFCs and 15 Brown's.
A great deal of Big Red is drunk in Compton. It is served in restaurants all across the city, primarily in mom and pop shops. reading has also become a fairly growing problem in the capcom society it seems too many people have become literate.
Compton is also where California's ice cube manufacturing industry started. Ice Cube, the founder of the industry, has ordered the city to be maintained at a constant temperature of -131 degrees Celsius so that his ice cubes can be easily manufactured. This has caused great resistance from George W. Bush, who had to wear sunblock lotion, super UV-resistant sunglasses, and swimsuits to prevent himself from getting freezed up every time he visited the city.
Compton's ever-famous motto is "Long Live the Ice Cubes!" Ice-Cube is however under the constant threat of global warming. If current global warming trends continue Ice-Cube shall be Slightly-Chilled-Water by the year 2095, a catastrophe for rap fans everywhere.
Pop Culture[edit]
