"This is an adorable and different valentine card for little girls..not your run-of-the-mill card..My daughter Loves it!!"
"We ordered for my daughter's 1st grade classroom valentine exchange. These were cute and fun and the kids loved them. They are smaller than I expected, but a great size. I will have 2 in school next year and plan to order these again."
"This is a cute card that isn't overly cute. The train is perfect for that 2-4yo train-obsessed preschooler in your home. My 3yo son took these to daycare and they were a hit, both with his picture to personalize it and the train design kids respond to--without it being yet another commercial character."
"The cards are great and my grandson will love passing them out to his friends. They arrived way ahead of schedule and I got them at an excellent price. Will purchase again next year! Great idea!!"
"Love how adorable these cards looked. Love you can also personalize the inside and add two pictures (on the front and on the inside) the girls all loved this style. Simple , sweet and super fun! Love these mini cards!!!!"

For years and years, my family and I used to go to Korean restaurants and order our absolute favourite thing on the menu: Gooksoo Jungo (I think that's the name?). It's a hot pot item you can order and then an attendant comes over and cooks it in front of you either on a little heating element or right on the table.
They first bring over a copper pot full of beef broth (always a mystery to me what it is exactly) and then they will cook sliced shabu shabu beef, mushrooms, leeks, green onions, shingiku, spinach and other vegetables in the beef broth. At the very end they will add this delicious hand-pulled flour noodle and then season with lots of crushed garlic and black pepper. Hot pepper flakes are served on the side.
Does anyone have a recipe for this to re-create at home? Or even, something similar to it so I can finally taste it again after craving it all these years! (I moved away to a city where no Korean restaurant has it)

The CleanWell Company: Green Antibacterial Sanitizers
- Location: online only
- Website: shop.cleanwelltoday.com
CleanWell antibacterial products were invented by a family whose son was born with a rare immunodeficiency that made him extremely sensitive to germs. The family found that toxic agents in everyday cleaning products exacerbated the problem, so they developed a homemade formula using naturally germ-resistant ingredients like thyme and oregano. It worked so well that they decided to develop the formula into a mass-marketable green cleanser...
Working with an environmental microbiology lab, they developed a green cleanser that kills 99.9 percent of germs without the use of harmful chemicals. The main ingredient omitted from the mix is triclosan - a potential carcinogenic compound found in most antibacterial cleaners. CleanWell carries hand sanitizers and soaps in lavender, orange vanilla, and ginger bergamot scents.
For more information, visit CleanWell's site.

Hi Janel, can you comment here?
I bought the hand sanitizer and like it a lot. It doesn't have that overpowering alcohol smell, but instead just a nice "green" smell. (though a friend said it smelled like hippie)
And while it's more $$ than Purel, you only need 2 spritzes so the bottle lasts longer.

The Dolphins' search for an offensive tackle led them to have workouts Wednesday for three players – Kansas City right tackle Eric Winston, Indianapolis right tackle Winston Justice and Atlanta right tackle Tyler Clabo. That follows a workout by Baltimore left tackle Bryant McKinnie on Monday.
The Dolphins' search for an offensive tackle seems thorough. We'll soon find out whether it becomes desperate.

Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Ann Walsh Bradley, who was allegedly grabbed around the neck by fellow Justice David Prosser, asked Prosser to seek therapy to help him manage his anger two days after the alleged incident took place. Bradley's request was dismissed as "ridiculous" by some of Prosser's fellow conservative justices on the court.

Therapeutic potential of Retinal Pigment Epithelial cell lines derived from hES cells for retinal degeneration.
Therapeutic potential of Retinal Pigment Epithelial cell lines derived from hES cells for retinal degeneration.
Funding Type:
SEED Grant
Grant Number:
Award Value:
Disease Focus:
Vision Loss
Stem Cell Use:
Embryonic Stem Cell
Public Abstract:
Statement of Benefit to California:
Progress Report:
Year 1It is estimated that by 2020, over 450,000 Californians will suffer from vision loss or blindness due to the age-related macular degeneration (AMD), the most common cause of retinal degeneration in the elderly. A layer of cells at the back of the eye called the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), provides support, protection, and nutrition to the light sensitive retina, and cooperates with other retinal cells to maintain normal visual function. The dysfunction and/or loss of these RPE cells play a critical role in the development of dry AMD, the most common form of that disease. RPE cells derived from human ES cells (hES-RPE) are a potentially unlimited resource for cell replacement therapy. During this grant period we were able to develop methods to reproducibly derive RPE cells from established human ES (hES) cell lines. Normal RPE cells have a polarized appearance, meaning that they have specialized appearances and functions on the top (retinal facing) and bottom of the cells. We were then able to induce the hES-derived RPE to develop a polarized appearance very similar to that found in the normal eye. These cells had specialized characteristics that were remarkable similar to normal RPE and showed ability to function like normal RPE cells. We then developed sheets of hES-derived RPE on substrates that could be used for surgical implantation into animal eyes. We then performed studies to establish appropriate animal models in which to test the ability of hES-derived RPE to prevent or slow retinal degeneration in animal models that have some features of human AMD. We were not able to use standard mouse models of AMD because mouse eyes are too small to perform the surgical implantation of polarized RPE. We first looked at a rabbit model of RPE degeneration induced by a toxin (sodium iodate). We were able to establish reproducible RPE degeneration in these animals but whenever we tried to implant hES-derived RPE under the retinas of these animals, the RPE cells did not survive. We believe that the toxin that was used to induce this model was being taken up by the transplanted cells resulting in their death. We then tested a genetic model of retinal degeneration in rats (RCS rat). We were able to demonstrate reproducible retinal degeneration in these animals. When we transplanted hES-derived RPE under the retinas of these animals, we were able to show that the RPE were indeed human in origin and that they were able to survive for at least several weeks after transplantation. Importantly, we were able to show that in the areas where hES-derived RPE were transplanted, there was less retinal degeneration than in the areas in which there was no transplantation or "sham" transplantation. Thus, in conclusion, we were able to show (1) the reproducible culture of RPE cells from human ES cell lines, (2) that these hES-derived RPE had the appearance and functional characterisitics of human RPE and could be grown on substrates as sheets or polarized cells, and (3) that when these sheets of polarized hES-derived RPE were implanted under the retinal of rats with retinal degeneration, that they were able to survive and showed the ability to slow the progression of retinal degeneration in these animals. The results of this study suggest that hES cells may be an unlimited source of RPE cells suitable for transplantation into eyes with retinal degeneration and that subretinal implantation of polarized hES-derived RPE may represent a novel therapy for dry AMD.

The Directional Identification Problem in Bayesian Factor Analysis: An Ex-Post Approach
AbstractDue to their well-known indeterminacies, factor models require identifying assumptions to guarantee unique parameter estimates. For Bayesian estimation, these identifying assumptions are usually implemented by imposing constraints on certain model parameters. This strategy, however, may result in posterior distributions with shapes that depend on the ordering of cross-sections in the data set. We propose an alternative approach, which relies on a sampler without the usual identifying constraints. Identification is reached ex-post based on a Procrustes transformation. Resulting posterior estimates are ordering invariant and show favorable properties with respect to convergence and statistical as well as numerical accuracy

If you haven't noticed, the Old Town Lilburn location that once housed the Blue Rooster Cafe is back on the market.
So far, there have been plenty of inquiries, but no firm offers, according to the realtor in charge of its listing.
"We've had a lot of people interested in the property," said Sam Hale of the Hale Retail Group, "Many of them have expressed that before The Blue Rooster closed it was very lively. Most of the people that I've spoken with were interested in reviving that same feeling."
Since the popular , residents of Lilburn have mourned its loss. As a popular gathering space for local events, the Blue Rooster had become a central hub for activity in Old Town. Now after six months, foreclosure and bank purchase, it's looking for owners.
"The bank is more interested in people who want to buy the property rather than lease," said Hale.
Two of the more serious offers Hale has received were from people who were interested in re-opening the space as a restaurant to continue the customer base of the Blue Rooster. While interest may be booming, the economy is not and many who have inquired have been unable to make a reasonable offer for the space.
"The economy isn't great right now and so far we've gotten very low offers," said Hale. "We're optimistic that the right one will come because Old Town needs a space like that to come back."

A round-up of Thursday's Everton-related media coverage.
The views on this page are taken from the local and national media and do not necessarily reflect the views of Everton.
Former England striker Michael Owen lends his backing to Ross Barkley in the Daily Star and says England should find a starting role for the Everton man in their crucial World Cup game against Uruguay this evening.
In the Liverpool Echo, former Blues skipper Phil Neville backs Leighton Baines to show why he is the best left-back in the country by helping the Three Lions to victory.
The Echo also claim Under-21s boss Alan Stubbs is among the candidates for the vacant manager's job at Scottish side Hibernian.
And quotes from Steven Pienaar appear in the local read as the South African details his focus on staying fit to keep his place in Roberto Martinez's side next term.
On the transfer front, both Everton and Liverpool are monitoring Stephane Mbia, according to the Daily Mail.
The 28-year-old midfielder had been on loan at Sevilla last term, but is now a free agent after his contract ran out at Queens Park Rangers.

New dreams & journeys
Hey there friends!
I hope you're summer has been a blessed and enjoyable one so far. I have totally settled back into the rhythm of life in the burbs, and although my time is taken up with work, soccer, fun, friends and summer, my mind is still deeply entrenched in the northern Uganda district of Pader. Terry, my friend and colleague is still faithfully carrying out his commitment to the people there and keeps me in the loop with what is happening. I wanted to keep you informed as well, as you have been such a faithful and integral part of this journey to bring relief and hope and God's love to these unique and wonderful people.
As you know, Pader is a relatively large district made up of a handful of different townships. The Pader-township where I was stationed with Terry this past winter/spring is home to thousands of people of the Achioli tribe. Virtually every family in this township was effected in some way or another by the 23 year long LRA insurgency that ceased only in the past 4 years. As i have previously mentioned, immediate relief NGO's have pulled out and have left a void that is hard to fill by some of the smaller, long-term CBO's (community based organizations). When God placed a desire on our hearts to pray for a medical team to come to this area of Uganda, it was because the needs and cries for help were echoing through the countryside.
In our township alone there is only one doctor for thousands of families. Due to corruption and lack of governmental support the national nurses have desisted their medical campaigns due to lack of pay leaving very little to no medical professionals in the township. We in the west, often complain about Canada's Health Care system and some of us have reason to... however, reality is, a good majority of our population lives no more than a half hours drive from a hospital, medical clinic or doctor to meet most of our regular or emergency medical needs. My friends and family in Northern Uganda (our neighbours), are dying daily of preventable diseases like diarrhea, malaria and malnutrition. In this past month alone I have been continually receiving emails from Terry that break my heart and refuse to let me forget that God wants my/our hands and feet to deliver His love and assistance. As the wet season is in full swing, the damp climate is a breeding ground for mosquitos carrying the deadly malaria virus. This epidemic has recently taken the lives of dozens of children in the Pader township.
I am writing to present you all with a few more extensive details on my upcoming trip with a medical team back to beautiful Pader, N. Uganda. This endeavour from the very beginning has been nothing short of a beautiful orchestration by God Himself. It is incredibly humbling to witness God divinely intervening and providing practical help where there is such a desperate need. The great need being lack of medical resources and preventative health education, the practical help being a well-trained and compassionate doctor and two nurses. M.D. Kenneth Liew alongside two registered nurses May Tao & Joyce Tulloch and myself will be heading back to Pader on the 4th of September to stage a medical clinic as well as train the local people in preventative health care.
For the past two months the four of us with the help of a committee of volunteers from our church have been networking with various pharmaceutical companies in hopes to acquire the desired medical resources for this excursion into the heart of Northern Uganda. The amount of favour we have found with these companies has been almost hard to comprehend as a human being. Pharmaceutical companies that have surplus that for various reasons they aren't able to sell or distribute here, are most willing to pass items on to us for the purpose of helping those in need. We are extrememly grateful and confident that God has prepared this mission on HIs terms and for His Glory. He is capable to do immeasurably more than we could ever ask or imagine... and He has!
The dream is to provide a sustainable clinic that would be managed by trained locals and funded and resourced by people such as you and I to provide ongoing care for the poor and most vulnerable of the area. We believe that this is just the start of many trips and an opportunity for many people to become involved in both the going and the sending process. We hope to encourage transformation and sustainability in this community.
I am still an emissary of Emmanuel International and have an ongoing account with them for fund raising and accountablility. They are delighted to also have the support of Bayview Glen Church through Ken, May and Joyce who will be the initial team to start the medical ball rolling. (The soccer ball is also continuing to roll and more gear will accompany me for my friends and teams there). Terry is working on the ground to prepare for our arrival and God is taking care of the details. We certainly need prayer regarding bringing our load through customs and for proper authorization for practicing medicine in the north without repercussion. Any money that we are able to raise above our base expenses will purchase hygiene and medical supplies in Kampala that will hopefully be more then sufficient for the immediate mission and will provide a supply/resource centre for future care. There is no frivilous use of donations for our personal needs and when I personally travel outside of Uganda I use my own resources and not money from Emmanuel or Bayview Glen church. We seek to be accountable in all areas and are grateful for all your giving and prayers. We are simply mobilizing an army of caring people to make a difference in this region that God has called us to. Thank you for standing with me in prayer and support throughout this journey. I really can't thank you enough.
I love you all,

Known as 'Padstein' absolutely amazing restaurant. Been here a few years running with my family when holidaying in Cornwall. Lovely roof terrace where we drank pink champagne this August. Staff are very efficient and helpful. A winner of masterchef also works in the kitchen and was 'oood' by my mother which was very amusing.
Advice is to book the later of he 2 lunch services, as you are not rushed with your eating time and can really enjoy the food an scenery.
Converted from cynic to fan in one visit, I'd visited his other venues in the past, but the chance of an internet bargain was too good to miss, it was 3 course lunch for £28 in february.
The restaurant was more modern than I was expecting, very polite and efficient service, and of course it was full.
I noticed the menu we had was the same basic dishes, with a slight difference, possibly slightly smaller, but the food was excellent.
My starter was lobster rissotto, just perfect, main course was their take on Boullabaise, containing monkfish, red mullet,other fish mussells, crab,it was a delight.Unusually I ventured into pudding, a great chocolate tart,
A good wine list ,and their house wines were good and reasonably priced.
Would I go again, where the boullabaise alone would have been £28, well it'd have to be a special occasion.
The Seafood Restaurant forms part of one of four restaurants in Padstow or 'Padsteine' as it is otherwise known. The conglomerate has also branched out to a pub in St Merryn called The Cornish Arms and their latest venture cunningly called Fish & Chips in Falmouth.
But let's not get ahead of ourselves people, bring it back to the food, food, food and damn I wasn't disappointed. I would have been marginally glum though had the hefty bill not been covered by a work bonus, but I digress. So I'm gonna dive straight into the starters, actually I had my eyes glued shut, body rigid with pleasure as the hand-dived scallop sashimi glided down my throat like golden elixir with an orgasmic aftertaste. Even the wasabi didn't chafe my nostrils, finally a chance to look sexy gorging on fish!
After a little healthy staff banter, we opted for the same main meal an Indonesian seafood curry with monkfish, cuttlefish and tiger prawns served with green bean and grated coconut salad with crisp fried shallots, garlic and chilli. Each mouthful more scintillating than the last, peppered with wise Russian metaphors and an impromptu apricot cigarette whetting the appetite suitably for the 20 minute chocolate fondant cursory wait in anticipation. You know why I'm not giving it five stars, because I didn't like the lobster-on-the-table canvas sitting haphazardly on the wall. However, for many reasons it was a perfect meal and I left the restaurant borderline ecstatic, eager to walk off the post-dinner fullness with a midnight harbour meander.
Well we weren't really planning on going to Rick Stein's The Seafood Restaurant, but somehow found our way there one lunch time. Looking at the menu £35 for 3 courses though not cheap is cheaper than we thought it would be and maybe because we were on holiday we thought we'd treat ourselves and what a treat it was!!
Lobster starter, followed by Brill with seasonal veg, finished with a gorgeous vanilla pannacotta.
The food was amazing and the staff very friendly.
Would definately recommend it as a special treat.
Of course it's expensive, but well worth every penny! While reading the wine list I was a little disapointed that a fair amount was from Tower, Stein's own vine yard, but it's actually very good.
I was there for lunch with my wife and kids, and the atmos was also great. It was relaxed and very unstuffy.
I don't think I can fault the food or the service.
Three of us had the set lunch menu and one of us went off piste, a bottle of wine, some soft drinks, puds, a glass of dessert wine, a glass of port and two coffees for a little over 200 quid, so not too excesive and left there having spent a lovely FOUR hours over lunch, playing cards with the kids.
Abolutely the best place to be in Cornwall. We were not disappointed, the service, food and ambiance were all top notch. It's not overpriced when you consider the level of attendance and quality of ingredients. Next chance we get, we will be there again.
Keep it up Rick!
I thoroughly enjoyed my one day cookery course. My husband and I did it together so it was quite pricey (£155 each back then, will be more now) but it was a lovely fun day for both of us. It wasn't taught by Mr Rick Stein himself obviously but the chef we had was fantastic, knowledgeable and entertaining - very important as they have to do a lot of talking. It could quite easily turn into a boring lesson if the tutor isn't engaging. You get to wear a chef's outfit with Padstow Seafood School written on it which is good but you do get very hot. After learning a few recipes you cook one that you all sit down to eat together which was enjoyable(and tasty I might add!) You also get given a folder with all techniques and recipes you've learnt.
This is Rick Stien's flagship restaurant, and it does not disappoint. The first thing that you notice is the lovely cool interior and the space, unlike many of his contempories, Mr Stien has not crammed as many tables and chairs into the restaurant as is possible. The menu is well laid out and not as pricey as you may think, the staff were excellent, every thing we ate from the bread rolls to the salmon was amazing. The wine list is very good and not over priced. It was a very pleasurable dining experience. Booking recommended. Lots of books for sale if you fancy recreating your lunch/dinner.
This is a wonderful place to eat, with friendly service and excellent food. Fish and seafood are simply prepared, and clearly very well-sourced. It is rather expensive, but I felt that it was very good value for money. I was also pleased with the fact that there was no stuffiness about the restaurant, and that meant eating here felt relaxing. It was particularly good for lunch followed by a walk through Padstow.
This has to be on your do before you die list. Unless you are allergic to seafood, therefore it could otherwise kill you. Just can't fault. We had the taster menu. £67 and worth it. Not scimpy either. Wife is dairy allergic. Head chef, Stephan, came out. Explained that wasn't a problem and they varied the courses to meet the need. Service attentive but not oppressive. Food was exceptional. I don't like artichokes. Had the artichoke soup with fois grois. I now like artichokes, bloody gorgeous. Rick may have his critics, but this one he has 101% spot on.
This is a fabulous restaurant in a fabulous setting. Padstow is an extremely pretty seaside village, especially when the tide is out although parking is a nightmare. There is a large car park although the spaces are strangely small.
There are a lot of Rick Stein businesses in Padstow - the Seafood Restaurant, the delli and the fish & chip shop, as well as a school.
The Seafood Restaurant is a wonderful dining experience. The restaurant is spacious and the tables are a good size. So often these days you find yourself with a tiny table juggling your plates/glasses etc. This was a lovely change. The staff was largely antipodean and extremely helpful and courteous. They were there when you needed them and very friendly. The menu contained some great choices and the food, once chosen, was extremely good.
There is a good amount of space between tables so you can enjoy your conversation with your dining partner(s) without the interruption of other tables.
At the end of your meal you can take a very nicely presented copy of your menu home with you as a momento.
A number of my friends have eaten at this restaurant and all have enjoyed it.
Booking in advance is absolutely necessary, particularly for the evening.
Maybe when you have been to somewhere several times you start to notice things more than when you are visiting for the first time and are slightly in awe.
We have been going to the Seafood Restaurant for several years now and have visited three times in the last year including the latest time last weekend. The surroundings are nice especially if you get one of the tables near the windows.
Based on our last three visits, service has become variable. In January 2011, it was detached and poorly executed; the young girl seemed inexperienced and badly trained. In November 2011 with the tasting menu, service was great. This last time it was friendly but slow, a large gap between starters and main and I had to start waving across the restaurant to staff to be able to pay the bill in the end. The food remains good but based on the last three visits, the chefs cannot deliver bass to the table with crispy skin. Brill with potatoes and winter truffle was excellent though. So to sum up, food is good not exceptional, service is generally good not exceptional, prices are ..exceptional. Still the place to go in Padstow, though.
My Husband and I visited the Seafood Restaurant for Sunday lunch, as part of a visit to Cornwall for our 10th Wedding Anniversary. After visiting Jamie Oliver's Fifteen on the Saturday night (which was just perfect), we had high hopes for Rick Stein's flagship restaurant. Unfortunately, we were left very disappointed, £100 lighter (for lunch with no alcohol or starters) and feeling, quite frankly, ripped off. The staff were cold and unwelcoming, the food was overpriced and very average. Fifteen made a real fuss due to me mentioning it was our anniversary in the email reservation, but The Seafood Restaurant completely ignored the fact. To make matters worse, the restaurant was almost empty, yet we were shoved up on bench seating with all the other couples in one cramped corner, so very unromantic!
Will definitely not visit again, unlike Fifteen, where I am desperate to eat again soon and enjoy the wonderful food, lovely staff and fantastic view.
Just come back from a delicious Sunday lunch there.
Pre booking is essential as we noticed quite a few people chancing to get a table for lunch but no luck.
A la carte menu is expensive for the area however the three course Lunch menu for £35 is great value.
Service is fantastic and attentive.
Food itself was delicious.
Although there's no kids menu per say, well behaved kids are allowed into the restaurant.
Would definately go back again!

I've already started drinking, hence Thanksgiving has begun.
Until spring training starts.
I'll be rocking these come Friday.
When a $15 million prospect is scratched from two big games in a row due to shit like a stiff neck and knee inflammation. Strasburg won't be in the AFL Championship game Saturday. Yikes..
Rick didn't win Rookie of the Year, which I kind of expected. That's fine, though I was a bit disappointed. There's still a ton of rumors swirling around a bunch of Tigers and I just wish the managers would make a move already. The off-season is so annoying sometimes. Cy Young awards come out today, and I have a photo of a certain badass that I have been dying to use (hint: he's not a Tiger), so hopefully that will go up later.
I've got my flight booked for spring training, arriving in Lakeland March 10 and leaving the 15th. Between now and then (which seems like an eternity), I'll outline what games it'll involve - so far all I know for sure is Yankees, Phillies, and Rays - and hopefully set up some sort of format for blogging about what I see. That stuff will go on here as well as Bless You Boys, my main spot for baseball nerding amongst other people.
I also set up a twitter for this blog. I assume not many people read so it's kind of pointless, but I am going to try to spread the word in the least annoying ways possible for spring training, and it might come in handy for people who 1) don't want me clogging up their google reader, 2) only want to read posts that are about baseball and 3) vice versa. The link to that is here. Please note that I took several minutes to make sure its colors are the same as those used on this tumblr.
I suppose that's it for now. Posts feel weird when they don't contain a photo, so here's a gratuitous shot I took of Clete Thomas being Clete Thomas.
It's actually going to be cool enough out today for me to wear pants to work instead of a skirt. I'm tired and I sat in a half hour of traffic this morning, but I don't care! PANTS!
deals with Brandon trying to jump out of his leg casts, upon hearing some bullshit about being on the trading block.
"Put it back."
"I didn't ask for that."
"Please stop."
Every day is Take Your Child to Work Day when you're using Microsoft Word.
I'm estimating that including the postseason, I watched about 180 games of baseball this year. In the end, the last team I'd want to win it all did just that.
I'm sad my boys didn't make the playoffs; I'm sad the other teams I rooted for in the playoffs didn't become world champs. But you know what? 151 days 'til opening day 2010. I can't wait.
We're starting a limited test of notifications on twitter.com for when you have new tweets. So if one of the folks you follow has tweeted since you loaded your homepage, you'll get a little notice saying "1 new tweet" that, when clicked, will display the new content.
We think it improves the tweet consumption experience and hope to roll it out to everyone as soon as we can.
Nice. I have to use the web at work, so this will be appreciated.
Chase Utley has tied Reggie Jackson's record for most home runs in a single World Series.
Ryan Howard has tied Willie Wilson's record for most strikeouts in a World Series.
The self-proclaimed idiot Johnny Damon stole 2nd & 3rd on a single pitch.
It's turning out to be a pretty memorable year! Considering I hate the Yankees and am neutral about the Phillies, I am quite enjoying it.

All future projects will be blogged there. We're starting with Pacific Rim pilot suits!
I got a Silhouette Cameo cutting machine for Christmas this year. Ohhhh the possibilities. I can't wait to get pepping for my next armor fabrication project and not have to cut every single little piece out. This machine should be able to cut paper, foam, and styrene.
My dream would be to have a house with my lovely boyfriend one day where we can set up a complete cosplay studio with my sewing machines, all his lab equipment for electronics, his homemade vacuform machine, and the Cameo. Probably include a drafting/light table (I saw one at Curry's art store that has a glass tabletop so you can bend a lamp underneath to turn it into a light table), as well as a space for sculpting for prosthetics. One day!
A few years ago, Folkwear had a yukata pattern that has since been discontinued. Before it was discontinued, I bought the pattern and now that I've scanned it, I've decided to upload it here. It can be a bit confusing at first, but once you get the idea, you will find that yukata are very easy to make. This pattern is also really easy to modify.

Tyler Ortego is turning shoreline control on its ear. Ortego, a biological engineer and owner of ORA Technologies, is the inventor of a method of shoreline control which creates semi-artificial reefs using oysters. His graduate work at Louisiana State University focused on how to use oysters to create erosion barriers.
Ortego's research resulted in two inventions: OysterKrete and OysterBreak. Both employ the oyster's inherent nature of clustering to fill in the gaps of strategically placed submerged precast concrete rings.
OysterKrete promotes oyster attachment to the hardened concrete's surface. A roughened surface texture is very important for early growth. OysterKrete is a harsh mixture that results in a hardened concrete that resembles pervious concrete.
OysterBreak focuses on the artificial reef structure. The system uses stacks of specially designed concrete rings similar in size, shape, and weight to spacer rings used on manhole risers, but featuring anchor lugs and wave openings. Each ring is wetcast using the OysterKrete mix design.
These living barriers become structures for shoreline erosion protection. Placed in rows two to three deep, the OysterKrete structure allows tidal water to easily move within the structure, while resisting wave action that causes shoreline erosion.
An advantage of OysterBreak is its design flexibility. Engineers can determine the proper geometry between two segments of OysterBreak reef with coastal engineering analysis. The relationship between OysterBreak segment length (flushing gap interval), flushing gap length, and distance to shore will result in a secure structure that will yield the proper wave-shoreline interaction.
Workers place the rings with enough spacing to accommodate oyster colonization. New oysters can fill the spacing between rings for many generations. On a project in Chesapeake Bay, researchers reported oyster growth after two seasons. Another OysterBreak design advantage is that it is easily expanded. Owners can add additional rings on top of existing structures for future growth.
Ortego has licensed his two inventions to Wayfarer Environmental Technologies, of Hunt Valley, Md. In turn, Wayfarer is using Oldcastle Precast as its exclusive manufacturer.
The structures offer engineers another tool to help solve shoreline erosion problems, says Dale Robicheaux, who markets these products for Oldcastle. Oldcastle engineers can aid engineers in designing customized elements to create living structures to mitigate shoreline erosion.

— By Rick Yelton, editor at large, Hanley Wood Commercial Construction publications.
There is an environmental benefit from creating living oyster reefs. Where oyster beds are under duress, OysterBreak provides a safe haven. The structures give oyster larvae a secure place to nest. The new permanent residents provide millions of larvae each breeding season.
OysterBreak structures help regenerate the oyster beds. When an oyster dies, the uncemented valve falls to the seabed. In short time, the newly shelled covered area becomes a viable harvest bed. These oyster reefs have additional environmental benefits. Reestablished reefs enhance habitats for commercial fishing and expand sport fishing.

Author's Message
Whoever said one has to kiss a lot of frogs before a prince is found was right, thinks Princess Laurentia, the heroine of my new book, Someday My Prince.
The eager suitors vying for her hand will try just
about anything to win her favor
Bertinierre, May 1829
Excuse me? Excuse me, my good man, but I am Mr. Andrew N. Sharparrow of London, England, and I need a love potion.
Boutibonne the pharmacist raised his head from his mortar and pestle. With his sharp old eyes, he observed the dandy standing in the doorway of his small shop, and smiled. All morning long, it had been the same thing. Hed sold more love potions since this whole madness started than he had in his whole life before. Young or old? he asked as if he didnt already know the answer.
Mr. Sharparrow drew himself up to his full, but meager height. Im twenty-eight years old! Im quite young.
Boutibonne would have pegged him more at thirty-five, but the Englishman could lie if it pleased him. I meant the lady. Are you trying to seduce an older woman for her fortune or a younger woman from her virtue?
Oh. Mr. Sharparrow glanced behind him and sidled into the dim and musty shop. The lady is having her twenty-fifth birthday.
Just like our Princess Laurentia, Boutibonne said with false surprise. Say, youre not one of her suitors, are you?
Wellyes, actually, I am. Mr. Sharparrow adjusted his waistcoat. What tipped you off?
Rising, Boutibonne pulled a few corked bottles off dusty shelves. I dont get many aristocratic gentlemen in my shop, sir.
I dont suppose you do. The Englishman glanced around disdainfully and wrinkled his nose, then glanced at Boutibonne craftily. That means none of the other suitors have thought of this.
No, sir, Boutibonne lied easily. Not a one. So youre trying to seduce the princess for her fortune. That requires a very special potion. I warn you, its going to cost.
How much? Mr. Sharparrow asked. When Boutibonne told him, he stood very still as if in pain. Then he nodded. Very well. But this had better be a good potion.
The best. Boutibonne had raised the price with every new suitor to enter his shop. Hed soon have enough for a trip to see
his daughter and her new babe. As he mixed the innocuous herbs, he asked, So your suit isnt going too well, heh?
Mr. Sharparrow straightened from his examination of various canisters on the counter. It was going very well until yesterday.
Last night was the grand ball, wasnt it?
Yes. The ball was the moment every gentleman here has been scheming for. Mr. Sharparrow struck a pose. I dont suppose youve ever been to the palace. Its a grand edifice with marble floors, mirrors on the walls and chandeliers alight with a thousand candles. Mind you, when I heard that the king of Bertinierre announced he would give a great ball to celebrate his daughters twenty-fifth birthday and there she would choose her husband, I thought it was too good to be true. I thought Bertinierre must be a barbarous country, the palace in shambles and the princess a hag. But I thought, why not? I have a certain amount of charm, if I do say so myself. I could win the hag, and its not as if I have any other prospects. He cleared his throat as if he hadnt meant to say that.
Boutibonne pretended he hadnt noticed the slip. Bertinierre is small, but beautiful, heh?
Beautiful? Its wealthy! So very wealthy. Mr. Sharparrow drew a breath as if the thought of so much money had him all atwitter. And the princess is quite lovely for a woman of twenty-five.
Too old for you? Boutibonne finished mixing the potion, filled a small flask, and corked it.
A little long in the tooth, but so much better than I expected. And Ive seen her watching me. I think she likes me.
Then why the love potion?
Mr. Sharparrow deflated. Its that blackguard Dominic of Baminia. Hes a nobody, a mercenary with a long scar and a nasty way about him. The princess is infatuated.
Boutibonne held out his hand, palm up. Princess Laurentia is usually so sensible. Why would she be infatuated with an ugly
mercenary with a nasty way about him?
Mr. Sharparrow pulled out his money, counted out the charge, and placed it in Boutibonnes palm. Who understands women?
Who indeed? Boutibonne handed over the flask, and when Mr. Sharparrow had left the shop, said, Perhaps Dominic of Baminia. He seated himself at his table again and picked up his mortar. The door opened, he looked up.
And a stout gentleman with a pronounced German accent announced, I vant a love potion.
Winning isnt everythingits the only thing. Unless you lose. Then nothing beats a good excuse. Visit Christinas

Andrew Maxfield's 'Celebrating Wendell Berry in Music' was 7 years in the making
The Salt Lake Tribune
Published: August 12, 2013 11:28AM
Updated: August 12, 2013 11:32AM
Andrew Maxfield
introduces himself as the brother of Stuart Maxfield, the frontman for Fictionist, a Utah rock band. He also is the brother of Caitlin Connolly, a well-known visual artist, and the husband of Liz Davis Maxfield, a Fulbright scholar and cellist.
But Maxfield, of Orem, might be the most remarkable member of his family.
He recently released one of the state's most ambitious musical projects: a choral album that sets the lyrical, pastoral poetry of Kentucky poet-farmer Wendell Berry to music.
"Celebrating Wendell Berry in Music"
took seven years to make, which means Maxfield, 32, has devoted much of his young life to commemorating Berry's legacy as an American treasure. A man of letters and environmental activism, Berry has influenced numerous Utah writers from Terry Tempest Williams to Pulitzer Prize-winning author Wallace Stegner. The latter was also Berry's mentor.
"[Berry] had a disproportionately large impact on my professional development," said the soft-spoken Maxfield, whose spectacles partially obscure the gleaming curiosity in his eyes. "Though I'm not the first person to write music about him, this is the first project of its kind in its scope."
Each song on the album is preceded by Berry reciting the corresponding poem, recorded by Maxfield at the writer's kitchen table in Kentucky.
The project generated so much excitement from the Kentucky-based Berry Center, an organization devoted to carrying on Berry's legacy, that it schedule a performance of Maxfield's music last April at the Cathedral of the Assumption in Louisville. Berry attended the concert, which was performed by noted Kentucky choral group Voces Novae.
"Afterward, [Berry] was very complimentary," Maxfield said. "For me, that was a great validation of my idea."
• Maxfield's love for Berry's poetry was sparked in 1997, when his uncle gave him a signed copy of The Memory of Old Jack. Later, in 2000, his uncle gave him a volume of Berry's poetry, and the words stirred him in the same way that composing music for his East High School choir did.
The idea for the project came to Maxfield in 2006, when he was a graduate student at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. (He earned his bachelor's degree at Brigham Young University.)
At night and in the mornings, when he wasn't immersed in raising a family with his wife and attending classes, Maxfield read and re-read hundreds of Berry's poems, trying to decide which ones inspired him and could be used as music. As the project expanded, he enlisted Kentucky singer-songwriter Eric Bibb to also write a rootsy album of songs inspired by Berry's life and words. Bibb's album is packaged with Maxfield's as a different, but no less reverent, perspective on Berry.
Bibb called Berry "a kindred soul" who finds "joy and comfort" from the natural world.
"His impatience with the downsides of modernity is something I really resonated with," said Bibb. "Having in general a tendency to lean towards another era when things were slower and things were made, well, by hand. All of that really resonated with me — the wonder of discovering stillness once in a while in the midst of a modern hectic life. Berry was someone that I not only admired for his stance, but I also felt a kinship with him."
Maxfield often bounced ideas off a friend from BYU, Bryson Mortensen, who is now an assistant music professor at the University of Wisconsin-Rock County.
"Last year, we were both in the Madison area, and he asked me to look through them," Mortensen said. "I remember it being an really interesting way of presenting the lyrics. … It really evokes the spirit of Wendell Berry."
• In January 2013, Maxfield was finished with the sheet music and recruited the Salt Lake Vocal Artists, and conductor Brady Allred, to put the music to tape.
"Andrew is a very gifted young composer and it was a great pleasure to work with such a creative and humble man," Allred said. "I was especially impressed that he revised many of the pieces for the choir until they felt 'right.' He knows how to write well for voices and he was devoted to setting the poetry in a meaningful and expressive way."
Allred said that sometimes the music was "deceptively difficult, but all of the compositions demonstrated Andrew's sensitivity to the text through his use of unique colors, beautiful textures and lyrical melodies that enhanced the meaning of the poetry."
Allred admitted he had heard of Berry, but had never read his poetry or essays.
"By the time we recorded all 15 pieces, the choir members were quite fond of several of them," Allred said. "Andrew graciously gave copies of Wendell Berry's books of poetry and essays to the choir members as gifts so they could become familiar with Berry's writings. To most of us, Wendell Barry was an unknown writer. Andrew helped to change that."
When the Berry Center invited Maxfield to have his compositions performed, he quickly signed up Voces Novae, a group of 45 selectively auditioned singers from the metropolitan area. Berry's wife is a fan of the choral group, said Frank Heller, founder and artistic director of Voces Novae.
"I said, 'Andrew, this is great stuff,' " Heller said. "I am just thrilled with his work. He builds harmonies that build tension and then relax."
As Kentuckians, Heller and his choir were familiar with Berry's work, and Heller especially appreciated Berry's environmental activism. Many consider Berry the grandfather of the "slow food" and sustainable agriculture movements.
The gig also allowed Voces Novae a chance to perform in front of Berry. "It was a phenomenal opportunity," Heller said, noting that the choir is "still buzzing about the Wendell concert."
Voces Novae was so impressed with Maxfield's music that it has scheduled a June 2014 performance of more of his choral work.
All that without even knowing his brother, sister or wife.
"This project is the first one when I am putting my name front and center," Maxfield said. "This is my big splash."

Butter stocks are building seasonally but remain well below year-ago levels, when stocks were at 10-year highs. With the ramp-up buying period only a couple of months away, concern over whether stocks can rebuild to levels necessary to meet demand are growing.
"Historically low inventories have forced butter buyers to raise their bids," says Sarina Sharp, agricultural economist with the Daily Dairy Report in Chicago, Ill. According to USDA's Cold Storage Report, butter stocks as of May 31 totaled 192.5 million pounds, a 10.6-percent increase from April levels but a 40.2-percent decline from May 2013.
To subscribe to the Daily Dairy Report go to http://www.dailydairyreport.com/default.aspx and click "register."
Demand for both cream, particularly from the ice cream sector, and bulk butter remains strong. To meet domestic demand, which has proven resilient despite high prices, manufacturers have already started to cut blocks of butter into retail-sized portions, according to USDA's Dairy Market News.
"This is occurring about a month ahead of time, and it is one more weight on the scale toward tight butter inventories this fall," says Sharp. "End users are likely to remain concerned about the possibility that butter supplies could be very tight later this year."
Butter manufacturers tend to build inventories in spring when prices typically are at their lowest as milk production peaks, but that didn't happen this year because strong butter exports and lower-than-average milk production gains, particularly in the Northeast and Upper Midwest, curtailed butter production to support prices at lofty levels.
"This year manufacturers added just 80 million pounds to stocks since butter inventories reached their low at the end of last year," says Sharp. "This increase in inventories is about half as large as it was in the first five months of 2012 and 2013. But it is on par with the unusually low build of 2010 and 2011."
In 2010, the CME spot butter price rose from a low of $1.31 in early February to a high of $2.235 by late September. The following year, the CME spot butter price started the year at $1.70 and quickly shot above $2/lb. where it mostly stayed until late September.
With U.S. butter prices now above international prices, export demand for butter has recently slowed.

Fluttering wings
They float way up high
Each holding a light
They hold lanterns
Within their little hands
All flying around
The beautiful goddess
Are gorgeous fairies
All entranced
For this special night
They'll be busy
Must bring good cheer
To those of darkened hearts
Those that were hurt
By the evil of Halloween
The terrified minds

Re: elementary stream Michael Miller Thu Feb 23 00:00:33 2012
Hi Sohrab, I've been doing this with AVFoundation's AVAssetReader and AVAssetReaderTrackOutput because that's the only way that's available to 64-bit apps. To make sure you're getting the raw frames, pass in nil for the outputSettings dictionary in AVAssetReaderTrackOutput's initializer. Also, despite the warning about potentially not being suitable for realtime use, as long as you're decoding the frames yourself, AVAssetReader is much faster than realtime. Hope that helps!

We were warming up, we were doing discus on the Astro Turf. On the Astro Turf you have this sand-stuff on there which is slippery. Anyway, for our warm up we had to jog up to a certain line, so I did that, and when I got to that line, BAM. I slipped up, and fell straight to the ground. No tears though, just my knee and hand hurt like a fucker..
Also, I was on my way home, listening to Pierce The Veil, as I do, when Amber and Jordan (bitches at my school.. -_-) SLAPPED me on the back REALLY HARD. I was so so tempted to throw them off that bike they were on, but I thought not, and instead thought "i hope you do something really stupid and die.." (if anyone gets that danisnotonfire reference I will love you ok) and continued to listen to Pierce The Veil all the way home.
So, that was the bad bits of my day. Currently wearing a My Chem shirt, and skinnys and my slippers..
I'm going to write another fic, that Mouse challenged me to do. She challenged me to write a story with NO BAND MEMBERS. Band names are allowed, just not the member's of the band's names. I have a vague plot for it, I know the summary and the title of the fic. I'll make it.. say... 9 or so chapters? Depends if I get any sparks for ideas for the chapters. So, here's the name and summary of my fic.
Name Of Fic: You're Already The Voice Inside My Head.
Summary: Sadie has had the same voice in her head, ever since she was a little girl. But, what happens when the voice in her head becomes real?
So, in this fic the second main character will be Danny, my male OC.
Now, can one of you guys tell me if it is socially acceptable to have a crush on one of my OC's? because, I kinda do. To be fair, Danny was the guy in my dream, the one I wrote a oneshot about, so would that be weird or?
Eh. Whatever.
(Also, I swear to fuck I heard his voice today.. weird..)
Anyway, how was your day guys?

If you're on a budget and want an of-the-moment piece that adds pizzazz to an otherwise bore of an outfit, this is a great stop. When you leave with a full ensemble (flirty empire-waist blouse, Seychelles heels, and fitted denim) that cost you $250, you'll be happy that you didn't let the big-name labels get the best of you. The staff here is friendly and full of compliments, so shopping solo never feels lonely. Just know that its location has very limited parking, and tickets are given out like candy on Halloween.

Oct 5, 2011
This weekend marked a first in the Energetix education calendar, breaking new ground in the field of cranial bioresonance. The class was built on the principle that, at our most elemental, human beings are made up of energetic frequencies. Over the centuries, different cultures have given this energy different names, such a qi, prana, innate force and vital force, and have developed ways to measure and manipulate this energy.
In 2007, Todd Stelik, an occupational therapist and advanced cranio-sacral practitioner from Rhode Island, became interested in finding ways to get more information from the body to uncover the causes of patient's energetic blockages. Through a lot of pioneering work and aided by the Energetix College of BioEnergetic Medicine, Todd developed his technique to measure patients response to certain treatment options through changes or 'stops' in the patient's cranial rhythms. In 2011, Todd debuted his technique, "Cranial Assessment of BioResonance" (CAB) at the 2011 BioEnergetic College in Newark, NJ.
During the one-day course held in Brooklyn this past weekend, Todd outlined the steps to tune into the body's natural cranial rhythms and use biofeedback from the autonomic nervous system to gather information. This information can then be used to put together individualized bioenergetic protocols to support manual therapy. A diverse crowd of advanced cranial practitioners, from naturopaths to holistic dentists, were extremely excited by the information presented and by the potential of adding it to their own individual techniques.
One innovative new addition to the technique was a quick and easy way to reduce the symptoms of allergies through energetic desensitization. Through a series of case studies and hands on teaching, all the practitioners left with practical new skills. This part of the day was met with huge enthusiasm and genuine excitement about its potential to add significant value to each therapist's practice.
Todd will be teaching practitioners in CAB at the 2012 Energetix College in Newark, NJ and we look forward to supporting this salient health innovation.

wow...one of the simplest wow vids I've seen, but hands down one of the best.
I love how the simple mundane movements that characters and mounts make are transformed into a sort of dance.
The mounts especially are awesome. The raptor early on seems to jump in front of the camera, groove our, then run off randomly, haha.
Oh, and the bear shakin' his butt at Krasus Landing was great!
Agreed. Despite it's simplicity, I was totally mesmerized by this video. Not just the humbling loneliness of the merchants, which we all knew we were going to see, but the movements of many other things that we always take for granted: The statue in front of the South bank, the barber shop pole, and the Hellfire Peninsula sky was amazing.

Walt Disney World covers 40 square miles and includes four major theme parks. The one most geared to 5- to 8-year-olds is the Magic Kingdom, based on California's Disneyland. Dozens of attractions are spread throughout the Magic Kingdom's seven themed lands, all competing for your child's attention, so it helps to have a general itinerary in mind.
Don't feel you have to cover everything in the Magic Kingdom in one day – children will have much more fun if they aren't exhausted. To help you plan the best trip for your 5- to 8-year-old, here's a short list of Magic Kingdom highlights mapped out for one day. You can stretch them out over more days if you have the time, money, and inclination.

Elite FBO Brand Adds New Members
The recently launched UVair FBO Network–an alliance between Epic Aviation and Universal Weather & Aviation's UVair Fuel Program–announced it has added 10 members: in Colorado, Denver Jet Center at Centennial Airport; in California, Napa Jet Center at Napa County Airport, Jet West at Salinas Municipal Airport and both Maguire Aviation locations at Van Nuys Airport; in Texas, Textar Aviation at Dallas Love Field Airport; in Michigan, Grand Rapids Air Center; in Oregon, Aero Air at Portland-Hillsboro Airport; in Wyoming, Jackson Hole Aviation; and in Arizona, Gateway Aviation Services at Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport. They bring the total of independently owned member FBOs in the network to 15, each audited for the level of service and caliber of facilities they have provided customers. Epic, which formerly operated Air BP's 300-strong FBO domestic network, rebranded after it and the oil producer agreed to end their decade-long joint-venture licensing agreement in February. Epic expects to complete the installation of new signage at all the locations by the end of the summer. The new UVair FBO Network locations join the original five members announced at the beginning of June: Edwards Jet Center in Billings, Mont.; Stevens Aviation in Greer, S.C.; Ambassador Aviation in Dallas; Bizjet International in Tulsa, Okla.; and Million Air in Vancouver, B.C., Canada.

(LOS ANGELES, CA) -- Acclaimed adult film star Taylor Wane appeared at the Novelty Expo in the Mexico Convention Center in Mexico City promoting her hot new signature line of Nasstoys sexual devices and toys, an event that had originally been planned for February.
However, international affairs became the focal point of her trip. "The show was fantastic, but quite insane, as people were shoving security guards and barriers to get to our booth. Fans would grab posters before I even signed them! Outside of the convention, riot police surrounded our hotel and the American Embassy, which were next to each other."
Demonstrations were taking place because of the recent news about the United States, Mexico, and the border between the two countries.
Prior to leaving for Mexico, Taylor was invited to be a guest on G4's "Attack of the Show," a G4 TV daily program that is geared for a male audience. On Wednesday, May 17th, Taylor appeared with producer Seymore Butts and discussed the adult industry and its mainstream appeal, among other topics. "This was such a great show. It was a pleasure to be interviewed with Seymore, who I admire." While in the green room, Taylor ran into a mutual friend, Kane, who stars in the new movie See No Evil. "Kane and I have a mutual friend in Gregory Dark. He is there to promote the movie, and I think everyone should see this movie!" Need another reason to see the movie? Taylor is the model in the movie that Kane, as a boy, kept in a cage, is tempted with by his abusive mother.
Make sure you pick the new issue of Penthouse Magazine (June 2006), as the magazine features a beautifully photographed layout of Aria Giovanni shot by non other than former Penthouse Pet herself, Taylor Wane. Taylor is currently looking for previous Penthouse Pets to shoot for the magazine as well! You can reach her at email@example.com.
About Taylor Wane:
Taylor Wane is currently the celebrity editor for Busty Beauties Magazine and host of the KSEXradio.com show "The British are Cumming." Ms. Wane has won countless industry awards, most notably her 2004 induction into AVN's Hall of Fame, an accolade sought by every performer in the business. Ms. Wane created Taylor Wane Entertainment, a movie and multimedia production company that she operates and for whom she directs many titles. The company also produces photographic layouts featuring the top models and adult stars for some of the world's biggest men's publications. Taylor's comic series, Vamptrix, has gained a loyal underground following. Acclaimed pin- up artist Armando Huerta has painted a dazzling new work featuring Ms. Wane for an upcoming comic book in her Vamptrix line. On his site at PadjanStudios.com, Huerta has included a step- by-step demonstration of the work as he created it. Meanwhile, her appearances at collectors' conventions around the world continue to swell with lines of fans seeking her signature on their paraphernalia. For more information, go to TaylorWane.com.
