Full disclosure... I have never made this recipe with tofu before, only with ground chicken. But I do want to say that the hoisin-peanut sauce is FANTASTIC and could be used in many other applications. I always make more sauce than the recipe calls for because everyone eats it up! The only other change that I make is that I don't stir in the cukes and carrots. I prefer topping the lettuce wraps with them as I eat to be able to taste the contrast in temperature and texture better. I highly recommend this recipe!

As a kid, every year without fail, I made my own Christmas cards. I loved getting the glitter glue and fat Crayola felt tips out and drawing elaborate Christmas scenes of snowy villages, Christmas presents amid decorated trees and (blame the Catholic school) Jesus Christ… as a ghost. With a Santa hat on. My depictions of all of the above probably looked like someone got the formaldehyde out at the office Christmas party and started aggressively throwing glitter and lunatic snowmen about, but I was a kid, and aside from the questionable theological demonstration of Supernatural Santa Jesus, my family and friends at least pretended to be pleased and grateful for the gesture.
So obviously I have taken the message into adulthood that it's always nice to receive a homemade Christmas card. I enjoy receiving homemade Christmas cards, anyway. I'm not particularly into the whole convention of buying Christmas cards from Marks & Spencer, scrawling the recipient's name and your own, then posting it to be consigned to the recycling on January 2nd. While I appreciate all the Christmas cards I receive, I wouldn't keep a store-bought Christmas card, while a homemade one is likely to go into my Christmas decorations storage unit box and come out to be displayed for years to come.
Here are a couple of ideas for homemade cards that are quick, easy for the kids to make, and cost pennies. Except for the stamps to send them which cost £1340. SIXTY FUCKING PEE for a single first class stamp I discovered today. Up until last year I still thought they were 26p but SIXTY ENGLISH PENNETH. Ridiculous. No wonder handwriting is to be abolished in 2019; by then a book of 12 stamps will cost more than a 3 bed semi in the south east and no one will be able to afford to write letters or cards anymore.
This year I wanted to get Caspar involved in making Christmas cards, as a fun festive activity and an excuse for him to get covered in paint, which is a favourite pastime of his. To make these you will need:
- White card, cut into A5 and folded into A6 size
- A severed hand, alternatively a still-attached hand
- Small piece of sponge for printing
- Green and red paint of any description
- PVA glue
- Rhinestones/sequins
- Gold/silver pen
I got Caspar to make a singular green handprint (don't worry, his hand is still safe and well, attached to the end of his arm) on each pre-cut A6 card, waited for these to dry, then used a piece of sponge cut into a small pot shape to print, you guessed it, a little red pot at the bottom of each handprint. Once these were dry I then drew a star with my gold pen at the top of each tree, and glued rhinestones on as bauble decorations. Simple, fun and effective.
I actually made these last year, but as I was on a 3 year blogging hiatus, the idea was never shared. There are many, many alternative uses for vegetables (snigger) and this is just one of them. Also, it involves glitter, on which I am keen. You will need:
- Black card, cut into A5 and folded into A6 size
- A potato
- An onion
- Kitchen roll
- PVA glue
- Glitter in every shade of the rainbow, preferably in shaker tubes
- Christmas foil ribbon, I used silver, red and gold
- Glue dots
- Silver and gold pens
For the present prints, I carved a piece of potato into a present shape (4 squares, 2×2 stacked with a recessed area for the 'ribbon'). The bauble prints were half an onion (cut across) with a couple of small nicks cut out for the 'glint' on the bauble. You will need to press out the liquid from the veg stamps with some kitchen roll. When dry, apply a thin layer of PVA to your stamps (I dipped mine into a shallow bowl of the stuff then wiped off excess as appropriate) then print them onto your pre-cut cards. Get the glitter shakers out and throw some glitter at them, evenly covering the PVA print. When they are dry, tie a few bows in the foil ribbon, and use a glue dot to affix them above the glitter veg prints. For the bauble prints I used a silver pen to draw the little 'crown' at the top where the ribbon loops through on a traditional Christmas bauble. Write 'Merry Christmas', 'Bah Humbag' or any seasonal greeting of your choice underneath and you're done. Caspar didn't assist with this one as he wasn't yet 2 at the time but this is a fun one for slightly bigger kids (such as myself).
My pal Charlotte at Black Heart Creatives has blogged her crafty Christmas cards. I practically begged her to. They are my festive crack (while I am pregnant, at least, and cannot get sloshed on eggnog). Have any of you guys made homemade cards this year? Care to share with the class?

I have listed before the best VALUE in restaurants at WDW. Buffets offer a better price vs reward for dining.
Now I will list the best restaurants with ATMOSPHERE or DINING EXPERIENCE.
1) Coral Reef>> Ever dine in an aquarium? The Coral Reef puts you eye to eye with sharks and sting rays. The food is better than average, but the service has sometimes been lacking. My trip was wonderful. This is a rare experience of the sea.
2) Royal Table>> Maybe you would like to lunch in a castle. You can be a king or queen for a day. Cinderellas castle has a restaurant, ornately decorated with stain glass windows. For aspiring princesses, this is the pinnacle of pleasure.
3) California Grill>> High atop the Contemporary offers a view of the Magic Kingdom that most describe as the best in the World. Watching the fireworks from here is a grand experience. The food is cutting-edge for innovation and taste.
4) Sci Fi Dine In>> Drive-in theaters inspired with always night-time restaurant. Classic science fiction movie trailers play while guests dine in booths shaped like parked cars. Everyone faces the screen while burgers and even more upscale food is consumed.
5) Whispering Canyon Cafe>> The antics of a not-to-bright cowboy makes the experience at this restaurant fun for all. Kids of all ages will laugh at the crazy service you will receive. The food is barbecue and plentiful if not extraordinary. Remember not to ask for catchup!
6) 50s Prime Time Cafe>> Another interactive restaurant takes you back to the 1950s and moms kitchen. Mom keeps a close watch on her kids. Fun is for all when mom enforces the rules. This interactive experience is for the no-so-shy adult and children at heart. The food is home style and comfort foods.
7) Ohanas>> Ohana means family. Everyone is cousins here. A large barbecue pit produces hot meats brought to your table. The tropical tastes of the South Pacific and umbrellas in your drinks accent your experience. Views of the lake and Magic Kingdom castle give a wonderful island feel to a reasonably priced meal. Dessert is extra.
International Experiences
1) Mexico>> This always night-time experience of dining on a river in Mexico makes this restaurant a jaw dropper. The food is classic Mexican if not extraordinary. Kids will enjoy the simple ride that passes by the restaurant.
1) Morocco>> A Moroccan band and belly dancer entertain while guest feast on lamb and chicken. You will feel a thousand miles away in this exotic locale. The French taught the Moroccans to bake so dessert is excellent and flakey pastry wraps both meats and sweets.
2) Germany>> A reconstructed Alpine village and a lederhosen wearing band will put you in the mood to sing along. HUGE beer steins clink to the music of Oktoberfest. Strangers might be seated at you table allowing you to meet new friends. The food is German and not outstanding.
3) Italy>> Venice is the inspiration for this Italian restaurant. Colorful murals line a ornately Italian table. Emphasis is placed on pasta, olive oil and fresh vegetables. Not much tomato or spices in this menu.
4) Norway>> A smorgasbord is laid out for you at this restaurant set in a Viking castle. Hot foods are prepared for you and brought to your table. Norway being mostly a sea going nation offers wonderful fish selections, both cold and hot. Swedish meatballs are on the lunch menu.
1) Boma>> This 5 star restaurant is known to the Cast Members as the best value at WDW. African inspired dishes will have your mouth dancing in delight. I have not had something that I did not like. For the less adventurous and kids, traditional American food is served.
2) Le Cellier>> This prime steakhouse offers a French meets Canadian menu. Expect wonderful sauces to enrich most dishes. The cheddar cheese soup is great! This is one of the best places to eat at Epcot!
3) Chefs de France>> Fine French food is served in a wonderful window lined, Parisian setting. This restaurant is less expensive than the one upstairs and still gives you fine French food. Lunch is more reasonably priced than dinner.

Sarah Murnaghan, the 10-year-old girl in need of a lung transplant, is on her way to the operating room, her mother Janet Ruddock Murnaghan said on a post in her Facebook page.
"God is great! He moved the mountain! Sarah got THE CALL," Murnaghan wrote. She added:
"Please pray for Sarah's donor, her HERO, who has given her the gift of life. Today their family has experienced a tremendous loss, may God grant them a peace that surpasses understanding. Please pray for Sarah and her surgical team and our whole family! We are overwhelmed with emotions!!!! Thank you to all of you for the unending support. Xoxoxo!! God bless! Today is the start of Sarah's new beginning and new life!"
As we reported, Sarah's family asked a federal judge to relax the rules regarding the waiting list for a lung transplant. Normally, preference is given to patients who are 12 and older.
As weekends on All Thing Considered explained, the reason for having the age cutoff is that putting adult lungs in a child is subject to some complications. They explained:
"The current system puts children at the bottom of the list for adult lungs. While they are eligible for child donor lungs, those are harder to come by. Wednesday, Judge Michael Baylson ruled that Sarah could be moved up on the adult list, and considered for a new set of adults lungs based on her need, not her age."
Sen. Pat Toomey, who advocated for the rule change, asked for prayers.
"The judge gave Sarah a chance to receive a new lung," he said in a statement. "Now the surgical team at [Children's Hospital of Philadelphia] is giving her a chance at life."
We'll keep an ear out for any news on how she emerges from surgery. We'll update this post with the latest.

phenomenon. Created as a UNIX-based operating system under the GNU license two decades ago, Linux has set high standards in the release of open-source technologies that master the Internet nowadays. Due to its ground-breaking concept and support by a large community of developers, Linux underwent a truly explosive growth to turn into one of the most widely adopted UNIX-like OSs in the world. The fact that it is used as both a desktop operating system and a
platform makes it accessible to millions of users online.

Linux in the World Wide Web
Linux, Unix and GNU
By combining a lot of key characteristics such as fastness, stability, security and adaptability, Linux has become the most preferred alternative to commercial Unix and Microsoft operating systems. Its proven quality of performance has been given high credits by users and explains why most of the World Wide Web today is built upon the Linux software platform.
Based on the Unix core, originally developed back in the 1960s, Linux retains its modular concept, which makes it very stable and easily customizable. When GNU was initially started as a project in 1985, it aimed to provide a complete Unix-compatible software system. However, until the 1990s, work on the kernel and the drivers were in the initial stage. This motivated Linus Torvalds to create his own kernel in 1991 using the libraries and utilities from the GNU project, laying the foundations of the GNU/Linux project and creating the core of one of the most powerful operating systems.
The Linux kernel
The power of Linux is stemming from the kernel – the operating system code that is aimed at managing the communication between computer hardware and software. Since the Linux kernel is designed to be small and fast, it allows for very efficient management of the basic computer resources such as memory,
disk space
and CPU power.
The kernel is the driving force of the Linux OS. It handles all processes and defines application behavior. In Linux distributions, the graphic system does not run as a kernel process, which allows for the graphic system to be restarted in the event of a crash, without the need to restart the computer.
Linux advantages
One of the most valued advantages of Linux over the other platforms lies with the high security levels it ensures. Every Linux user is happy to work in a virus-free environment and use the regular virus-prevention time needed when working with other operating systems for other more important tasks.
Thanks to its open-source distribution, Linux is being constantly developed and updated by the constantly expanding community of programmers supporting it. Despite its dynamic nature, it is totally complete in terms of functionality and interface. All those ongoing development efforts are made with the sole purpose of keeping the platform flexible and ever adaptable to the changeable 'climate' of the WWW.
Linux in the World Wide Web
Due to its innate stability, the Linux-based distributions are a top choice for Internet servers, with a great part of the World Wide Web being powered by Linux. Linux is often used with
, thus creating the
stable Linux-Apache
As a fundamental part of the web, Linux has deservedly found its place in the popular LAMP open source web platform, which represents a combination between the most popular website building technologies: Linux, Apache (web server),
) and
(web application languages).

Must-Order: The kitchen is helmed by our 30 Under 30 honoree chef Adam Kube, and he drew some inspiration from the nearby site of the Boston Tea Party: hence a strong starter of tea-smoked mussels ($14).

Patent company Eolas loses patents to web sites after appeal
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A U.S. appeals court on Monday ruled in favor of Google, Amazon and J.C. Penney by upholding an earlier court decision that major portions of two patents claimed by Eolas Technologies Inc were invalid.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in Washington, DC upheld without comment a decision by a Texas federal court, which had declared invalid claims in each of the two major patents by Texas-based Eolas.
Eolas had said in its 2009 complaint that its patents covered major aspects of the Internet, such as Web pages and interactive content.
Because the patent claims were invalid, Google, Amazon and J.C. Penney Co Inc were found in the original ruling not to have infringed. Eolas was ordered to pay their costs, the Texas court said in July 2012.
Eolas did not respond to requests for comment. Google said it was "pleased with the court's decision."
Other companies had previously settled with Eolas, which has been labeled a "patent troll" because it does not make anything and files many patent lawsuits.
Eolas' web site said that the companies which had settled included Office Depot, Rent-A-Center Inc, Texas Instruments Inc, Playboy Enterprises International Inc, New Frontier Media, JPMorgan Chase and Argosy Publishing Inc.

infringers and their paid puppets' definition of 'patent troll':
anyone who has the nerve to sue us for stealing their invention
The patent system now teeters on the brink of lawlessness. Call it what you will…patent hoarder, patent troll, non-practicing entity, shell company, etc. It all means one thing: "we're using your invention and we're not going to stop or pay". This is just dissembling by large invention thieves and their paid puppets to kill any inventor support system. It is purely about legalizing theft. The fact is, many of the large multinationals and their puppets who defame inventors in this way themselves make no products in the US or create any American jobs and it is their continued blatant theft which makes it impossible for the true creators to do so. To them the only patents that are legitimate are their own -if they have any. Meanwhile, the huge multinationals ship more and more US jobs overseas.
It's about property rights. They should not only be for the rich and powerful. Our founders: Jefferson, Franklin, Madison and others felt so strongly about the rights of inventors that they included inventors rights to their creations and discoveries in the Constitution. They understood the trade off. Inventors are given a limited monopoly and in turn society gets the benefits of their inventions (telephone, computer, airplane, automobile, lighting, etc) into perpetuity and the jobs the commercialization of those inventions bring. For 200 years the patent system has not only fueled the US economy, but the world's. If we weaken the patent system we force inventors underground like Stradivarius (anyone know how to make a Stradivarius violin?) and in turn weaken our economy and job creation. Worse yet, we destroy the American dream -the ability to prosper from our ingenuity for the benefit of our children and communities. To kill or weaken the patent system is to kill their futures. Show me a country with weak or ineffective property rights and I'll show you a weak economy with high unemployment. If we cannot own the product of our minds or labors, what can we be said to truly own. Life and liberty are fundamentally tied to and in fact based on property rights. Our very lives are inseparably tied to our property.
Prior to the Supreme Court case eBay v Mercexchange, small entities had a viable chance at commercializing their inventions. If the defendant was found guilty, an injunction was most always issued. Then the inventor small entity could enjoy the exclusive use of his invention in commercializing it. Unfortunately, injunctions are often no longer available to small entity inventors because of the eBay decision so we have no fair chance to compete with much larger entities who are now free to use our inventions. Essentially, large infringers now have your gun and all the bullets. Worse yet, inability to commercialize means those same small entities will not be hiring new employees to roll out their products and services. And now those same parties who killed injunctions for small entities and thus blocked their chance at commercializing now complain that small entity inventors are not commercializing. They created the problem and now they want to blame small entities for it. What dissembling! If you don't like this state of affairs (your unemployment is running out), tell your Congress member. Then maybe we can get some sense back into the patent system with injunctions fully enforceable on all infringers by all patentees, large and small.
Those wishing to help fight big business giveaways should contact us as below and join the fight as we are building a network of inventors and other stakeholders to lobby Congress to restore property rights for all patent owners -large and small.
For the truth about trolls, please see http://truereform.piausa.org/default.html#pt.
You *really* need to read the details of this case. This guy didn't invent anything. Like many faculty members at a university, his students created it. (Did any of the money he extorted from other companies go to any of said students? Not one dime.) That makes his one-person company a "Patent Assertion Entity" – legal-speak for a company that acquires patents for the purpose of enriching themselves through litigation. In 2012 alone, 61% of all patent litigation originated with these folks. These are not Ben Franklins trying to protect their inventions from big immoral companies. This is small immoral companies trying to siphon as much money as they can from bigger companies. The original EOLAS judgement against Microsoft was for over $300 million dollars. And that wasn't enough money for this one single guy. Intoxicated with his new wealth and ease of which he acquired it, he then sued over 24 other major companies in one action for hundreds of millions more and IBM separately for $5 billion (with a capital B!) dollars.
Is this the type of activity that you want to reverently cite The Constitution and predict the doom of the little inventor? Is Mike Doyle really your selection of poster-child for your cause? If so, you've got a hard struggle ahead of you. Good luck!

Caroline shared a charming bike story about our neighborhood last month, which prompted me to tell one of my own from a couple of weeks ago. Having biked in New York since I moved here three years ago and crossed the Manhattan bridge more times than I care to count, I've become a reasonably strong rider. To the point where I pass something like 9 out of 10 riders I encounter on my commute (and I don't doubt there are a number of speed demons I never see because I never catch up to them). The point being, if I see someone else on a bike, it's usually not too long before I pass them, and if I'm still trailing (or if they pass me) I often push myself to keep up. It's just a way to keep things interesting.
So it was that I found myself on the crown of the Manhattan bridge pedaling hard, when out of the corner of my eye I noticed someone gaining on me. As we both began our decline and sped into Chinatown, he kept gaining on me and it was all I could do to keep a few feet ahead. Finally, on the last stretch of the path before the winding exit ramp, he pulled up alongside me and to my surprise, spoke:
"You dropped five dollars!"
"Oh! Thanks!"
"The guy behind me has it."
And with that, he sped on, and I slowed to the bottom of the ramp where I waited as a few bikers passed until the man carrying my money came around the bend.
Only later did it occur to me that even on a moderately calm day, a $5 bill wouldn't last long on the windy surface of the bike path. So it's somewhat remarkable that two people busily in their own commute managed this little rescue (and much appreciated, considering that back then $5 was all the money I had on me and probably more than 1/10 of my net worth). New Yorkers are (contrary to some stereotypes) generally helpful people, but this is the kind of experience that you can only find amongst those who brave the city by bike.
Since complaining about the meat industry is becoming a common theme of my posts, I would be remiss if I didn't share an op-ed from the Guardian where George Monbiot comes out in favor of sustainable meat eating, after having argued that veganism is the only just option. Consider:
Feeding meat and bone meal to cows was insane. Feeding it to pigs, whose natural diet incorporates a fair bit of meat, makes sense, as long as it is rendered properly. The same goes for swill. Giving sterilised scraps to pigs solves two problems at once: waste disposal and the diversion of grain. Instead we now dump or incinerate millions of tonnes of possible pig food and replace it with soya whose production trashes the Amazon. Waste food in the UK, Fairlie calculates, could make 800,000 tonnes of pork, or one sixth of our total meat consumption.
Nothing there that I wouldn't have been prepared to agree with before, mind you. But the book which Monbiot is discussing, Meat: A Benign Extravagance, apparently gives the topic a rigorous treatment and makes a strong case for animals as a beneficial (albeit smaller) part of our diet.
X-posted at tbnd.
Last year, our inaugural Brooklyn Skillshare drew some 450+ people out to the Gowanus Studio Space for a day of five blocks of three classes each, ranging from Make Your Own Butter to Balloon Animals. The day was awesome but also insane, as we dealt with larger-than-expected crowds who swarmed the classes, making it difficult to everyone to see and hear. The crowd also overwhelmed what we had prepared for our free lunch, with the situation devolving into a (literal) bread line as dozens of hungry hipsters lined up for a slice of french loaf.
This year, we had a new location at the Brooklyn Community Arts and Media High School (BCAM) in Bed-Stuy, more teachers (five blocks of five + a couple of ongoing activities), and a strict cap of 25 people per class, due to fire safety regulations at the school. We had a smaller crowd, with maybe half of 2009's attendance, but it ensured that everyone was able to hear and participate in their classes. We also gave up on providing free lunch.
Also, we had this sweet new logo, designed by Erica Gorochow:
The crowd this year was a lot less hipster-y and more diverse: a number of BCAM students volunteered and/or attended classes, and we had more older Brooklyn residents, as well as some parent-child pairs attending. This is maybe because the Bed-Stuy/Clinton Hill area is more accessible than Gowanus, and also we had more mainstream press this year, including this TimeOut New York write-up. (Unfortunately, we had less of a social media presence this time around, due to the Fight Back New York campaign taking away our awesome social media whiz this year, and the Women's Media Center occupying our press lady's time. Yeah, we do some awesome shit when we're not organizing skillshares).
So, all in all, I would characterize BKSS 2010 as less hipster, less chaotic, and more learning-centered than last year. Did you attend this year? What did you think?
Because it's autumn, and also because there were a number of special events this week at work (two birthdays, someone coming back from maternity leave, someone else leaving), I decided it was time to break out the pumpkin cupcakes.
The recipe comes from a scanned page of my mother's cookbook, in which she had a pasted a number of recipes cut out from the newspaper. Though there's no date on the clipping, the neighboring recipes suggest that it's from the early 80s. The clipping gives credit to one Carol Poling, of Vincent (wherever that is), who found the recipe in Farm Wife News magazine and sent it in.
I've updated the recipe quite a bit, replacing margarine with butter and "salad oil," whatever that is, with canola oil. I also reduced the sugar and added spice.
Here it is:
While your cupcakes are cooling, make the frosting. You should take the butter and cream cheese out of the fridge to warm up as soon as you decide that you're going to make cupcakes.
Once the cupcakes have cooled down, frost 'em.
Once you've frosted them all, lick the bowl and beaters clean:
Later, at the bar, we realized that we both had frosting in our hair.
As garden season nears an end in Brooklyn, Anthony and I are left with the decidedly pleasant task of disposing with our basil.
Our basil did spectacularly well this year. We started them from seeds in May, and in June they looked like this:
Today, each one of those stalks has turned into a bush like this:
Magic, right?
Therefore, it's pesto time. (You may or may not want to sing that in your head to the tune of Flight of the Conchord's "It's Business Time." Up to you.)
If you have a food processor, making pesto is as easy as throwing a few ingredients in and pressing a button. You can also make pesto in a blender, kind of, but doing so will be a pain in the ass and probably shorten your blender's life, as it did to one or two of mine.
Seriously, though, if you're into food, you should listen to Mark Bitman and get yourself a food processor. It will make your life better. You can find them used everywhere, though you should make sure to set it up and turn on a secondhand processor before buying to ensure that you have all the parts you need.
I break with tradition slightly in my pesto-making. First, I use walnuts instead of pine nuts, because they're much cheaper. Second, I use less olive oil than most recipes call for. Third, I add a little bit of lemon juice. Crazypants, I know.
Here's how I make pesto.
Throw into a food processor all of the following:
Then turn on the food processor until the ingredients are broken down into pesto.
Note that these proportions are very rough. Really, you should just start with conservative amounts of garlic, walnuts, parmesan cheese, olive oil, lemon juice, and salt/pepper and then add more to taste. (You can always add more of each of these, but there's very little you can do if you've overdone it besides adding more basil). I don't like mine with too much olive oil, but you can decide for yourself how you like your pesto.
Last weekend, Anthony and I made a big batch of pesto. Since then, we've had pesto and goat cheese bruschetta, pesto grilled cheese sandwiches, and pesto on our pizza:
However, once you've got a ton of basil on your hands like we do, you're not going to be able to eat all that pesto before it goes bad.
The solution?
Freeze the pesto in small batches, either in small plastic bags or in ice cube tray-shaped blocks.
A certain hottie (who also writes half of this blog), in Time Out New York today in an article about our worm composting class at the Brooklyn Skillshare!
If you're in the New York area, you really should check out the Skillshare on Saturday. In addition to our worm composting class, there are a whole bunch of other amazing classes, from yogurt making to improv, and, really, you should just look at the class list on the website.
This is the Skillshare's second year in existence, my second year as a co-organizer, and the first time for both of us teaching. Last year 450 people came out to learn things with us! Hopefully this year will be EVEN AWESOMER.

Some wildlife in the area are adapting to the changing weather.
Our records show this has been a slightly colder than average winter in the Four States, but national records show that elsewhere this winter has been warmer than usual.
Officials with local conservation groups say some birds that usually migrate here for the winter are staying farther north, where it's becoming easier to find food and shelter.
Experts say this year's Christmas bird count proves that some birds are adjusting better than others.
"They have discovered that a lot of very common birds are adapting well to our changing climate but they've also found that a lot of them have shifted their wintering range further north, on average about 30 miles," says Chris Pistole of Wildcat Glades in Joplin.
Pistole says with the winter season coming to an end he hopes to see a higher population of summer birds come in for the season.

MADISON, WI (WTAQ) - Nobody won the Mega Millions jackpot Tuesday night, so it goes up to $190 million for the next drawing on Friday night.
A ticket sold in Onalaska won $10,000 by matching all but one of the five regular numbers, plus the Mega Ball. The numbers of Wisconsinites winning smaller prizes were not immediately available.
Tuesday night's numbers were 6, 10, 12, 28, and 32. The Mega Ball was 38, and the Megaplier was 4.
Friday night's cash option is $140 million. The jackpot is the largest for Mega Millions since last March, when a world-record $656 million prize was won.
Meanwhile, folks are buying Powerball tickets in droves. That's raised the jackpot for Wednesday night by another $10 million, to $360 million.

Right after Sendia was hit by a powerful earthquake, cybercriminals wasted no time and immediately used this incident to leverage their scams. Some Japan earthquake scams were already seen in the wild, however, another variant was also spotted circulating the Web. This time, scammers have banked on news reports regarding the supposed nuclear powerplant meltdown in Japan. The spammed message addresses Google Earth users and points them to a link where they can view satellite images of the meltdown and the effects of the tsunami in Japan. Once recipients click the link, users are asked to register and pay for the updated version of Google Earth. This version is supposed to enable users to view the images. Recipients are then led to adware sites. Users are advised to avoid emails of this nature. It is still best to visit legitimate online news sites to get the latest updates regarding the unfolding events in Japan.

I have heard so many things about semi-completed, abandoned London-size cities in China and abandoned projects of similar scale all over the country, but never seen one for myself. For those of you who don't already know, China's government is super rich! Possibly the richest in the world in terms of unallocated free cash. They can throw so much money at any small project that everything gets done in record speeds.
They have built huge cities capable of housing 5 million residents, before there is even anyone ready to live there. These cities come complete with town halls, government offices, fire stations, police stations etc – but no one working there or living there yet! It's crazy. So of course, when I found out there was an abandoned theme park (the largest in Asia!) just outside Beijing, I had to have a look!
Located in Beijing's Changping district 昌平区, Chenzhuang Village 陈庄村, this park stands out from it's farmland surroundings. On the bus, I was thinking to myself 'how will I know when to get off?' But there was no way I could miss this monster tower peaking over the hills. The park carves out 120 acres of previously farmer-owned land.
Anything like this around where you're from? The land around this tower is actually pretty huge! However, there are myths that it was illegally 'purchased' from farmers who are slowly starting to reclaim it as you can see from all the crops surrounding me. This project started in 1998 and has been abandoned since then it's been an attraction to foreigners living here in Beijing. Most regular tourists don't know about this place.
For any of you in Beijing wanting to know how to get there: The cheapest way is to take the bus 919 from Deshengmen Station 德胜门公车占, between Jishuitan 积水潭 and Gulou Dajie 鼓楼大街. Take this bus all the way to Chenzhuang Station 陈庄站 (about 1 hour). I don't have the exact price as I forgot to check when I swiped my card, but it's around 10元 / £1.

CENVAT Credit on Capital Goods can be taken 50% in the year of receipt of Goods and 50% in the next year.

No provision as such in case of Input Services. Hence, credit of input services shall be admissible on the accrued basis provided payment to the vendor made within 90 days from the date of invoice. If payment not made within 90 days, cenvat credit attributable to such input service taken earlier shall have to reverse and pay either through the use of cenvat credit or PLA.
Secondly wrt ur query regarding 50/50, these provision only applies to capital goods and nothing mentioned as such for input services used for clearance of capital goods, Hence, in the absence of specific provision of 50/50, general provision for availment of cenvat credit of service tax on input services will apply which provided for availment as per my 1st para.
Hopes this solves ur query

The Bridge Over the River Kawaii
this is still the greatest thing i've ever posted
The Bridge Over the River Kawaii
this is still the greatest thing i've ever posted
Ah yes, there's nothing comparable to the feeling of hope one gets after finishing an Isaac Asimov book and The Gods Themselves is no exception. Asimov has a wonderful way of looking through the lens of science and shaping a seemingly plausible future from various technological advancements. The Gods Themselves centers around the issue of energy production on a future Earth.
'The Pump', as it is referred to, allows energy to pass between dimensions and its creation is quickly (and falsely) taken credit by the scientist who happened upon it. Since this is energy is free and apparently infinite, nobody really cares too much and ultimately overlooks any of the possible cons of the inter-dimensional arrangement.
The Gods Themselves follows an Earth physicist with a bad feeling about the pump and his journey that takes him to the moon along with the beings from the other dimension as they try to solve the same problem in order to save both of their universes from cataclysmic destruction.
This is definitely a good read (as is expected from Asimov), so I can definitely recommend this to any sci-fi or Foundation series fan.
Oh, and Newt Gingrich, here's your moon colony.
Now personally I felt a bit 'on the fence about this one'. Thanks to the very alien-crazed culture in which we live, I was already well acquainted with the story before I ever even picked it up. This story has become the story people think of when the term 'science-fiction' pops up. I'm sure this book was a little more gripping in the early 1900s when we knew less about our Universe, but it's still powerful enough to make one stop and think "what if?"
I really enjoyed the plot and the underlying message of the book, but Wells's writing got old and repetitive fast. Okay, that and I couldn't help but picturing the main characters as Tom Cruise and Dakota Fanning from the movie adaptation that my 12 year old self remembers being horrible. Despite all this Wells does a great job of commenting on the nature of mankind. Even when faced with invasion from an advanced alien civilization that outclasses humanity across the board, mankind is still able to persevere and come out on top showing that our species has more potential than any other in existence.
Another moral of this story could be to fund NASA. Scare tactics, ladies and gentlemen, they do wonders.

This was the third book of Murakami's that I've read so I felt like I had a good idea of what to expect out of this books, tons of imagery and symbolism that flies way over my mechanical engineering major of a head. The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle immediately caught my attention as to how different the story telling method was from the other two Murakami books I've read. I was surprised to be reading a first person narrative from this man! Admittedly it does change whenever a letter is being read (which constitutes at least ten chapters of the book), but still it was not what I was expecting.
That being said I really can't say anything bad about this book besides the fact that it is incredibly depressing. Now I don't mean that in a bad way, but the whole story revolves around the main character being left by his wife and a plethora of other things. There's just a lot going on in The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle, definitely worth getting into especially if you understand literary criticism a tad bit more than I do.
On a semi related note, I was watching an episode of Burn Notice, on USA the other day and the main character, Michael, said something that I felt really rang true for the theme of The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle. He said something along the lines of, "There's a space between life and death… It's amazing how long a man can linger there…" rather threateningly in what my imagination just turned into an Eastern German accent. But anyways, as depressing as I keep saying the book was I found it to be a real page turner just like the other works of Murakami that I've read. I know 1Q84 is pretty hot on book lists right now, but I'd definitely suggest snagging a copy of Wind-Up Bird along with it.
Not gonna' lie, I had a hard time holding back the floodgates with this one.
That being said I was really blown away by the book. It wasn't at all what I expected to come out of the hilarious goofball I've been watching on Youtube for awhile now. John Green is apparently as brilliantly serious a writer as he his a fifa player (I mean that in the best swoodlipoopin way possible).
I don't even really want to say too much about this book because it's just so beautifully written that I can't even begin to describe it. Looking for Alaska is not a story you read, it's one you experience and I don't dare take that away from anyone.
I can hardly imagine it's possible for anyone to be reading this and not have seen a vlogbrother video on Youtube, but if you are may god have mercy on your soul.
Alright, I know I'm a few years late on this one but I have got to say, well done Dan Brown. Bravo. After reading this book it is wildly apparent why there was so much controversy surrounding its subject matter. The doubt it casts on the precepts of the Catholic church are really thought provoking.
My only quibble with The Da Vinci Code was its very apparent plot twists. While reading, one gets a sense of what will inevitably comes next in any situation and needless to say, it comes next. The plot is surprisingly slow for being a story that literally takes during a twenty-four hour time period and the police investigation aspect just drags painfully on through the whole story. Despite all this, the book does culminate wonderfully in the last few chapters.
I'd still have to say I'm a fan of The Da Vinci Code. It's a really fun mystery to read if you're into history and conspiracies like the Grail. So if you're bored I suggest picking it up. I happen to know that you will be able to find it at just about any thrift store for a buck, and anything with a dollar price tag is well worth your while nowadays.
"Arma virumque cano," so goes the first line of Vergil's Aeneid, which translates to "I sing of arms and of the man," and Vergil does just that. The man of course is the illustrious Aeneas, whom you might remember as one of the Trojan players in the Illiad. This tale follows Aeneas and his quest to Italy in order to found a new city where his descendants are destined to live indefinitely. On this epic journey Aeneas tends to get sidetracked rather often not unlike his Greek counterpart, Odysseus.
Now the story existed orally before Vergil recorded it, but since Augustus Caesar was sponsoring Vergil at the time there are a lot of apparent political points squeezed in along with many comparisons of Aeneas and Augustus. That being said, it's still a wonderful read. The Aenied has so much going on in every book it's insane, one is basically like reading The Perfect Storm, another consists of a Romeo and Juliet type love story doomed to fail, and eventually even explains the inventing of pizza!
I was first exposed to The Aeneid as the textbook for my fourth year of Latin during high school, and I've got to say that there is a lot grasp in every line of this story. The notion of 'pietas' which meant to the Romans a sense of reverent duty not only to the gods, but to yourself and others, plays a major role in all of Aeneas' actions to emphasize what values the city and empire were founded upon.
This is a favorite of mine although I even have a hard time reading it in English. I would really only recommend this book to hardcore Classics nerds who will be able to really grasp all the subtle messages Vergil so cleverly hides in every line. Also, I swear I will review something from this millennium next. Salve!
Since these two amazing books are effectively sequels, I decided to review them at the same time. These stories were recorded by a man named Homer (whose last name wasn't Simpson) around 850 BC. Originally, there were more stories that are referred to as "The Nostoi" which means "homeward return," but those have been lost somewhere within the last three millennia. So it goes.
Let's start with the Illiad! This story recounts the fabled Trojan War where the Greeks/Achaeans/Danaans fight the Trojans/Illians/Dardanians. The Illiad doesn't really center around any main character or even take a side in telling its tale unlike many of the movie adaptations made over the years. Depending on the translation you get a hold of, you will either find it riveting or repetitive. A good translation from the original Ionic Greek is going to be incredibly dull to the average reader, whereas something that has been adapted to capture the meaning through modern English will be much easier to read (although you will lose my respect if you choose this route). The biggest quibble I hear from people about the Classics is that they take pages listing people, their homelands, and how boring it is to read. In the time when Homer was writing, his audience would have been able to trace their ancestry back to the heroes he describes in such great detail. This would have been the most exciting piece of the epic for Homer's contemporaries.
Now being a rather biased Classics geek, it's no surprise that I thoroughly enjoyed the Illiad. I was always fascinated by how faint the line between god and man is throughout Greek literature and this story is no exception. The Illiad is just one of those books that is your responsibility to read as a human being.
The Odyssey, on the other hand, you might be a little more familiar with since everyone and their brother read it in high school. The only problem with that is your English teacher should not have been teaching you anything about Ancient Greek literature because quite frankly, they don't know anything about Ancient Greek literature. Instead of talking about the Greek culture and civilization from which the story arose, they just turn off the lights and make you watch O Brother Where Art Thou? and call it a day. I know that's what my Freshman English teacher did…
But anyways, The Odyssey is another one of those 'must read' books because it is the original journey story. All the boring themes and motifs your English teacher may or may not have shoved down your throat can be seen in just about any book or movie (if you care to look hard enough). Either way the Odyssey is a much easier read than the Illiad if you happen to be a tad Classically challenged, and should hopefully leave you rather 'owl-eyed'.

Very thick and heavy duty belt--almost too wide for my belt loops. Should last a long time--thick leather!
Perfectly acceptable belts. Ordered for casual use and are especially good for the price.
again i ordered my waist size 34in and again way to small
Excellent. I finally got belts that fit. The sizes reported for most belts from Sportsman's run extremely small. For this pack I ordered 3 sizes up and they finally fit. Also, this is good quality leather. They are wide, not for dress pants, but great for jeans.
Nice enough belts, but I was expecting the brown one to have a silverish buckle. It may be my computer monitor, but the buckle didn't look brass in the photos. I was a little disappointed about that, but the belts are nice.

Women's and Gender Studies at UNSW
Women's and Gender Studies' 2013 Flyer
"The Women's and Gender Studies (WGS) program provides you with the opportunity to achieve a gender balance in your university studies by exploring the cross-disciplinary academic study of women, gender and sexualities. WGS illustrates how gender has intersected with racism, heteronormativity and other discriminatory categories.. "
The Women's and Gender Studies program gives students the opportunity to explore the cross-disciplinary academic study of women, feminism, gender and sexualities.
The undergraduate program is coordinated through the School of Humanities (formerly School of History and Philosophy) by:
Dr Hélène Bowen Raddeker
Coordinator, Women's and Gender Studies
Senior Lecturer, History
School of Humanities

Women's and Gender Studies is one of a number of faculty-wide interdisciplinary programs in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences. It is currently administered from the School of Humanities, but undergraduate courses are offered toward a Women's and Gender Studies major by a number of different Schools and Disciplines, including History, Philosophy, English, Political Science, Sociology, Languages and Linguistics.
Women's and Gender Studies offers a range of courses focusing on feminist scholarship, debates and issues, both in the past and present, in Australia and globally. Some courses focus specifically upon women (women's changing social situation, women's roles, women's issues etc), while others study gender and sexualities. In feminist scholarship 'gender' generally refers to social constructions of femininity and masculinity; of women's and men's 'proper' social roles; and of purportedy 'natural' womanly and manly identities. Studying gender illustrates how hierarchies of power are implicated in conventional constructs of gender difference; how these constructs vary with time and cultural context; and how they intersect with racism even in common representations of the 'East' and 'West' and 'Other' nations, cultures and peoples.
