This has to be the best cupcake and icing I have ever made at home! Overall, these cupcakes are super easy to make and the icing (though it sounds like a lot of work), is the easiest / most fail proof out there if you have a stand mixer. Times on the icing should be followed to a "t;" you can feel free to omit the cocoa if you want white frosting too. Sub out low-fat buttermilk for the half & half and whole milk amounts; works great. For the cakes, use cake flour in lieu of all pupose and don't omit the alcohol (honey whiskey or spiced rum work well) - the flavor is needed to balance the potato starch. The fluffy, oh so chocolate-y icing can be mounded high and tastes just amazing on these moist cakes. I only got 18 cupcakes from the batter; the cupcake wells were almost full and the bake time was about 3 min longer in my oven than called for in the recipe. Everyone loved these desserts and were amazed I made them myself; no one believed they were "light." ENLOY!
Buttery Yellow Cupcakes with Chocolate Meringue Frosting
You'll find potato starch on the baking aisle at most of your local supermarkets and health-food stores. Also known as potato flour, it helps ensure the cupcakes will have a fine crumb and moist texture.

About Market Structure
AbstractI study an economy where sellers choose locations, and buyers choose which location to visit. All sellers in one location correspond to the Walrasian market while each seller in a separate location corresponds to the standard random matching model. Trades are consummated in auctions, and it turns out that the Walrasian market is not an equilibrium market structure. Rather, the sellers choose to distribute themselves in several locations endogenously creating the imperfectness of markets. I determine the number of sellers per location in equilibrium as a function of the ratio of buyers to sellers. (Copyright: Elsevier)

School lunchrooms are taking a bite out of breaded chicken patty infamy.
York Daily Record/Sunday News education reporter Angie Mason wrote a story last week about the many healthy changes kids will see in cafeterias — more whole grains and fresh fruits and veggies, and skim milk.
Some local foodie officials were unsure how students would react to the banning of the beloved patty, replaced by grilled chicken sandwiches.
I remember the goodness of that crispy amalgamation of chicken parts.
It's been about a decade since I ate one, but I know that if you smother it in high-fructose corn syrup with a smidge of tomato, it tastes great.
I remember the lack of energy I felt after eating lunch in school cafeterias in the '90s and early 2000s. Even though I didn't know squat about nutrition then, I knew something wasn't right about the food I was eating and how it made me feel.
It's good to see some substantial changes being made to lunch programs, changes stemming from government mandates and overall awareness that healthy food can be affordable and taste good, too.
See you later, chicken patty. I won't miss you.
Here's a breakdown of nutrition facts in a chicken patty, according to fatsecret.com:
– 226 calories
– 14.3 grams of fat
– 3.06 grams of saturated fat
– 42 milligrams of cholesterol
– 436 milligrams of sodium
– 12.4 grams of carbohydrates
Versus 3 ounces of grilled chicken by Tyson:
– 100 calories
– 2 grams of fat
– .5 grams of saturated fat
– 470 milligrams of sodium
– 1 carbohydrate

The London Clinic took part in the annual Macmillan World's Biggest Coffee Morning last Friday 26 September 2014.
The World's Biggest Coffee Morning saw organisations and individuals across the UK selling cakes, scones and baked treats to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support.
We held several events at The London Clinic; the main one in the reception of the Duchess of Devonshire Wing at 22 Devonshire Place and another in our Radiology department.
We have received the Soil Association's Bronze Food for Life Catering Mark for patient and staff meals.
The Guardian looks at a day in the life of our Chief Physicist.
We are proud to announce that two of our chefs have been awarded the top prize in the UK's largest internationally respected cookery competition.
We are holding two recruitment evenings on Wednesday 21 and Thursday 22 May 2014.
The London Clinic is proud to be the only independent hospital to provide bone marrow stem cell collection and a harvesting centre for Anthony Nolan. One donor, Luke Cox, tells his story of donating.
Thirty-nine year-old Marc Edmondson has been a type 1 diabetic since the age of five. Having managed his disease steadily over the years, he never thought it would end up affecting his vision and therefore risking his successful career as an architect, but in 2010 that was just what happened.
When Marc started experiencing distorted vision and problems with depth of perception a couple of years ago, he was immensely concerned. As an architect, he needed razor-sharp eyesight to focus on digital drawings, and for perfect attention to detail.
The Imaging department at The London Clinic is running a six week pilot scheme to extend its MRI opening hours to seven days a week.
Extended opening hours will help to provide greater convenience and access to MRI for patients.
The London Clinic has two Siemens MRI scanners designed to deliver a complete range of scans and procedures providing:
• Exceptional image quality
• Enhanced patient experience
• Fully integrated anaesthetic capabilities
The extended opening hours are:
Monday – Friday
8am – 9pm
GB rower Beth Rodford, a 2012 Olympic finalist, has returned from the World Championships on top form after getting quick treatment for a back injury at The London Clinic.
Beth explained; "As a rower, I put a lot of strain on my back. Injuries such as this are not uncommon in the rowing world."
The London Clinic provides all diagnostic services for the GB Rowing Team. This was first utilised by Beth earlier this year when she started to experience pain in her back and was concerned it was related to an existing hip tear injury.
Today is World Sepsis Day and here at The London Clinic we want to help raise the awareness of sepsis, a life threatening illness which claims the lives of 37,000 people in the UK every year – more than breast cancer, bowel cancer and prostate cancer combined.
What makes The London Clinic special and why should you choose to have your private treatment with us?
The guiding principle of The London Clinic has always been to deliver exceptional patient care. This was the focus in 1932 when the Clinic opened and it has remained the ethos we have followed for the past 80 years.

PHILADELPHIA - NOVEMBER 21: Asante Samuel #22 of the Philadelphia Eagles celebrates after an interception in the second quarter against the New York Giants at Lincoln Financial Field on November 21, 2010 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. (Photo by Nick Laham/Getty Images) *** Local Caption *** Asante Samuel
It is not looking good for Asante Samuel.
He did not practice for a second straight day on Friday. He practiced a little bit Wednesday, but has felt sore since then.
"I don't know, I wouldn't call it a setback, but you know, some things were uncomfortable, but we'll see how it goes," the ball-hawk said after he skipper practice Friday.
He is questionable for Sunday night's game. If he can't play then Joselio Hanson would get another start.
The Eagles really need Asante. They have struggled the last two games without him. They have given up seven touchdowns in that span.
Dallas is averaging 33 points since Jason Garrett took over.
The Eagles defense is vastly different without Asante in the lineup.
Asante isn't alone -- Winston Justice is also listed as questionable for the Boys game. If Justice isn't served, King Dunlap will get the start at right tackle.

They say love is a rare chance to find, a phenomenon so magical that it is shared by just two people yet witnessed by the world. No matter how you see it, it is and will always be a bitter sweet memory that reminds us that we had once loved, loves and will love once again.
We all have our own story to tell, that is what I find truly interesting in every people that I meet. Some are full of great adventures to share, and some are filled with amazing lessons waiting to be imparted and no matter what their tales unfold it still deserves to be heard. If there is one thing, one very exciting topic (aside for sex, of course… ***if you know what I mean***… ) that everyone finds very appealing, it would be all about Love… most especially our First True Love.
Everybody remembers his or her first love, unless of course you got hit by a car then got run over by a ten wheeler truck and still survived. It is a once in a lifetime moment where you're puking rainbows everywhere, singing love songs, and routinely expresses your undying love for your other half and of course, a series of firsts.
First Kiss. Whenever I ask people what their first kiss was like, I immediately notice a smile that lit up their faces. It's a very sweet moment to cherish for most of us. They say it's like having that electric jolt pass through your veins on that very moment your lips touch. It's a tachycardia moment that makes your heart jump out of your chest. It is magic.
First HHWW Moment. Back in high school, whenever I see couples walking hand in hand, it literally makes me want to puke. It's gross and for me pretty weird, but I never thought that with that simple gesture one can make you feel safe. Having someone hold your hand is like a sign of trust and respect and it is really amazing how that link can give so much impact to your feelings.
First Fight. Quarrels in my perspective are a great test of maturity and serve as evidence that your relationship is growing up. It is a chance to know what will be best for your relationship and shows you a whole new outlook about life and love.
First Heart Ache. Reality is definitely a far cry from what we read from fairy tales. That concept of living happily ever after is not as easy as it sounds. That very moment when one decided to end that love story you have been carefully writing for some time is truly painful and will forever scar. It is actually like someone ripped off your heart and left a black hole instead. It is now up to you, on how to take it. It is up to you on how you decide to handle that moment because from that time on, you have been changed forever.
These and so many others are just some of the ingredients that made our First Love unforgettable. There is no perfect formula when it comes to relationships. It is dependent on two people who is willing enough to work through their flaws and fight because of love. We may be lucky on our very first try in this crazy little moment but we should consider that failures may also come along the way. What is important is that we know when to fight and when to let go. Believe it or not sometimes we are just stuck on that routine and we are already bare inside digging our own grave. Love is indeed selfless but sometimes you need to consider your own happiness as well and ask yourself, is it still worth it or is it time to walk away and say goodbye.
as you may notice, i love to shoot kids. i just love how they exude energy and innocence all throughout, same reason why i want to focus in child portraiture… =)

Traffic lights went dark from Downtown to nearly the airport causing drivers to cross intersections at their own risk. Area business owners say gas pumps came to a dead stop and business in general was abruptly halted.
Some businesses decided to close during the blackout unable to serve customers, ring up sales, or even cook their products. The blackout lasted just under 45 minutes.
No word yet on what may have caused the south side of the city to loose power.

Prejudice and Immigration
AbstractWe study immigration policy in a small open receiving economy under self-selection of migrants. We show that immigration policy choice affects and is affected by the migratory decisions of skilled and unskilled foreign workers. From this interaction multiple equilibria may arise, which are driven by the natives' expectations on the migrants' size and skill composition (and, hence, on the welfare effects of immigration). In particular, pessimistic (optimistic) beliefs induce a country to impose higher (lower) barriers to immigration, which crowd out (crowd in) skilled migrants and thus confirm initial beliefs. This self-fulfilling mechanism sustains the endogenous formation of an anti or pro-immigration "prejudice". These insights may help rationalize the cross-country variation in attitudes towards immigration and choices of immigration policy.

All-terrain vehicles (ATVs), also known as quad or quad-bikes, are 3- or 4-wheel vehicles with a seat which is straddled by the operator. They are steered by handlebars, and have low pressure tires. In the US, the engines range in size from 49cc to 1000cc. Though they are steered much like a motorcycle, the additional one or two wheels make them more stable at low speeds.
With their ability to cover a variety of terrains, their light footprint, and their speeds, ATVs are often used in agriculture, forestry, law enforcement, and natural resource exploration. Most are equipped to carry a passenger, and many also have beds to carry things. Some even have tow hooks for other vehicles. They are also a lot of fun, and most all terrain vehicles are used for fun. Dune buggies are also great all terrain vehicles to ride on.
The first ATVs were 3-wheeled vehicles made by Honda in the 1970`s and popularized by movies and television shows. All terrain vehicles originally had large balloon tires, but in the 1980`s Honda introduced a suspension, racks, and lower profile tires making this a better utility vehicles. Other companies including Suzuki and Yamaha joined Honda once 4-wheel models were introduced in the mid- to late-1980`s. There are numerous racing models which focus on performance: high-powered, lightweight, with a good suspension and a low center of gravity.
All terrain vehicles have gotten something of a bad reputation due to their link to illegal activities, including trespassing and land erosion. Numerous safety issues have arisen because of the large number of injuries and death that have been reported. Most injuries are caused by reckless actions on the part of the driver or inappropriate vehicles choices. If you choose an ATV that is appropriate for your age and experience and operate it in a manner for which it was designed, you should have hours of good, safe fun.

Video Games! Millions of people play some form of them - from Farmville on Facebook to more complex games on consoles like the Xbox, PlayStation, and the most popular, Wii. Industry experts say forty percent of all game players are female, players of hardcore games like Grand Theft Auto are mostly male. That means the games are designed with boys and men in mind -- and 17-year-old Radio Rookie Jessica Cernadas finds that very frustrating.

Trey Parker and Matt Stone have confirmed to EW that they plan to do a Book of Mormon movie…eventually.
"Hopefully it will have a big run and a big tour and then we can do the movie in several years," says Parker, who penned the musical with Stone and Avenue Q co-writer Robert Lopez.
"We want to do it some day," says Stone. "The great thing is, a lot of Broadway teams would have to go team up with a Hollywood producer and bring on a Hollywood director, but Trey's a director and Scott's a great producer. We've all made movies. So it's kind of cool, it can stay in the same family."

UNDATED (WHTC) -- A murder investigation has taken a new twist. The Ottawa County Sheriff's Department has charged a former girlfriend, 39-year-old Maryann Leal Castorena, with lying in a homicide case. The body of 38-year-old Jose Patricio Hernandez was found next to his running car in the parking lot of the Amberwood Apartments on January 6th. Captain Mark Bennett said that detectives had spoken to Castorena several times prior to her arrest on January 9th. At this point, she has not been charged with the murder of Hernandez. She is, however, being held on a one-million dollar bond relating to the charge of obstructing and lying to police. Detectives are still investigating this homicide.

Basement Construction Cost
Summary: The cost to build a basement increases with the number of corners or shape it has. More basement corners also increase the overall design complexity and cost of the entire home.
Hello Carl,
Are there rough numbers that you know about and can share, that one can use for guesstimating full basement construction costs?
This would preferably be broken into Material & Labor components. Basement Square footage will be roughly 2,500 square feet constructed on a flat plot. Thanks, Sam.
Sam, you can use construction estimating software to calculate basement construction costs for finished or unfinished basements.
However, the shape of the footprint of the basement wall is very important. It is the first question asked when using the construction cost software.
Increased complexity and cost in basement design reverberates throughout the entire house design and increases other costs as well, the roof line and roof cost being the most obvious.
The shapes illustrated below are on the cost to build calculator and are used whether or not the house is one story, multiple story or a split-level home. They are based on the outline formed by the outer most exterior walls.
Small insets, such as a front porch, not requiring a change in the roof lines can be ignored when determining the shape. Garage and porch walls are assumed included in the foundation footprint if under the same continuous roofline.
Most structures have 4, 6, 8 or 10 corners, as illustrated here. (Images courtesy of Building-Cost.net.)
Click on the Show Quality Classes and you will see a pop up window with cost options for basement construction.
Now go all the way through the estimating process for a complete house. Be sure to indicate the square footage of the basement when you get to that question.
The whole estimating process only takes a few minutes.
Part of the input process that will be required of you, is the zip code and city of the building project, as the locale does affect building cost.
When you are done, you will see all the building categories broken down into labor cost and material cost. Then you can pick and choose the particular categories that you are interested in, or just the basement construction cost.
I have found the cost estimating software to be fairly accurate, but it only gives you a rough cost estimate.
If you do build a finished basement on flat land and you may need to install an emergency exit to comply with building codes and good common sense. You can see an example of an emergency basement door on my Cost to Build in Tennessee,
Let me know if you have any more questions,
Carl Heldmann

Rookie Goalie Receives First Career NHL Call-Up
Providence, RI - The Providence Bruins, in their 17th season in the American Hockey League, announced that the National Hockey League's Boston Bruins have recalled goaltender Kevin Regan from Providence on an emergency basis. Regan will join Boston today to practice with the team at Ristuccia Arena in Wilmington, Massachusetts. With the move, the P-Bruins have 21 players on their roster, including 13 forwards, seven defensemen and one goaltender.
Regan, 24, has appeared in 14 games for Providence this season, showing a 6-4-1 record with a 3.33 goals-against-average and a .875 save percentage. He last played on Sunday afternoon, making 25 saves in the P-Bruins' 5-2 loss to the Lowell Devils at the Dunkin' Donuts Center. The game marked Regan's first career loss on home-ice in five outings.
Prior to turning pro, the South Boston native played four years for the University of New Hampshire Wildcats, finishing as the school's all-time leader in wins (70), saves (3,235) and save percentage (.928). Regan also became the only goalie in school history to post back-to-back 20-win seasons. His 2007-08 honors included a unanimous selection as the Hockey East Player of the Year, finalist for the Hobey Baker Award as the nation's top collegiate player, First Team All-American honors, a First Team All-Hockey East selection and the Walter Brown Award as the top American-born player in New England.
Regan originally joined the P-Bruins on April 9, 2008 on an Amateur Tryout Agreement after concluding his senior season at UNH. The Boston draft pick, selected with the 277th overall pick in round nine of the 2003 NHL Entry Draft, made his professional debut on April 12, 2008 back in the Granite State against the Manchester Monarchs, earning his first pro shutout with 23 saves and second star honors in a 3-0 Providence win. In Regan's final season for the Wildcats, he went 23-8-1 with a 2.21 goals-against-average and .930 save percentage. The year was highlighted by a 10-game unbeaten streak (9-0-1) from late-January to early-March, as well as three shutouts and two 50-plus save efforts. Regan blocked 52 shots in a 1-1 tie on February 15, 2008 against the Providence College Friars before making 62 saves in a triple-overtime, 101 minute defeat to the Boston College Eagles on March 21, 2008 in the Hockey East Semi-Final at the TD Banknorth Garden.
This is Regan's first career NHL recall.
Providence Bruins season tickets, Flex Tix packages and single game tickets are on sale now for the 2008-09 season. To purchase tickets or to learn more information, call the P-Bruins ticket office at (401) 273-5000 or log on to the team website at providencebruins.com.

- Disneyland Paris
Paris is a shopper's paradise. Jet-setters will feel at home with the famous names of the haute couture boutiques found on Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré: Dior, Chanel, Givenchy, Jean-Paul Gaultier, and others; while trend-setting fashions will be found in Rue Etienne Marcel shops. Sadly, the Champs-Elysées is not what it used to be with banks, fast-food chains and malls strategically placed to trap tourists. However, some good stores still remain - perfume from Guerlain Parfumerie is a classic Paris souvenir.
Les Halles is a subterranean shopping mall with over 180 stores where bargain hunters will be able to find cheap knockoffs and other trendy clothes. Mainstream department stores offer some great finds such as La Samaritaine, which prides itself as being the one where on trouve tout (one finds everything). Just outside the city, La Vallée Village offers designer goods at steep discounts... you may even spot a celebrity or two!
Bargains closer to town are in abundance at the three main flea markets situated around the old gates of the city. They are, however, teeming with pickpockets and shoppers should be on their guard. Les Bouquinistes, which consists of rows of bookstalls perched against the walls of the Seine River, is a great place for bookworms to browse and barter.
If you are determined to buy a plastic Eiffel Tower or other kitschy souvenir, then the rue de Rivoli is the place to go; if you are looking for something a bit different, however, visit the La Plaque Emaillées in Filles-du-Calvaire for a taste of turn-of-the-century Parisian Art Nouveau.
Traditional Parisians buy most of their food from specialty stores such as bakeries and butcheries with pastries, cheeses or pâtés to die for. The open-air markets are a fantastic place to find flowers, produce and clothing and are frequented by most of the locals. Paris also offers a wealth of window-shopping opportunities, making it the ultimate destination for the discerning consumer.
Most shops open between 9 and 10am, and close at 7 or 8pm. France levies a sales tax of between 5-17 percent, depending on what you are buying. There is a refund scheme for non-EU residents if you spend €176 or more in one shop.

Do you agree with euthanasia? (for humans)
I recently had an argument with 2 of my teachers on this subject. Whenever asked whether they agree with euthanasia or not they were either avoiding to answer or they were completely against it without bringing any arguments to support their opinion.
As far as I've noticed this is a very controversial and sensitive subject but I couldn't find anyone to debate it with.
Both my history and my religion teacher found their safety saying that Jesus says humans have no right to take away anyone's life but they didn't share their personal opinion.
Basically my belief is that endeed we do not have that right but in some cases,when for instance a certain person is too sick and hasn't got any chance of getting better and that person doesn't have the streght or the will to fight anymore and their desire is to die,shouldn't they be given this right?

Karmel BlueJun 2 2013: Hi Kate. Firstly I believe it is right of the person to decide how and when they pass from this life ...dying with dignity in my own home and quickly via a pill, injection and a glass of champagne is my want. You may not want voluntary euthanasia and it is up to you how much you want to suffer.
My Mother died young 50 with incurable Cancer. There was NO LEGAL passive euthanasia then nor now. Currently Doctors can be charged with KILLING/murder if they do.
I understand your friend's situation. However in my mother's case it was pure torture for myself and brothers and father to go every day to watch her suffering which went on for 3 months. Totally disgusting and unfair. My Father never smiled again and died of a broken heart !!
I personally DO NOT want to suffer on to the bitter end and am supporting a change in the Australian Law that will permit dying with dignity at a time and place of my choosing.

In this thesis I examine representations of hospitality in four works by Thomas Heywood: 1 and 2 Edward IV (1599), A Woman Killed with Kindness (1603), The
English Traveller (1633), and The Late Lancashire Witches (1634). In the early modern period the practice of hospitality was integral to social relations, facilitating the consolidation of social ties, status and influence. Concurrent with these four plays, the period from approximately 1580 to 1630 contained an increasing interest and anxiety about the practice of hospitality and its apparent decline. Through an examination of the representations of hospitality in these plays, in relation to contemporary concerns surrounding early modern hospitality, I show that these plays exhibit a variety of anxieties and concerns about the practice of hospitality. In particular, I argue that the plays exhibit anxieties about masculine identity and the social responsibilities of householders; that the hospitable relation between host and guest, though intended to be socially edifying, may provide an avenue for social disruption and subversion due to the specific functions and expectations surrounding hospitality; and about female participation in hospitality, which often results in the exclusion of women from the benefits of the conventional system of hospitable exchange.

Buy Panama hats at Newt in Waikiki
Store doesn't sell hats online because they must be fitted to your head
Photo: Mark Arbeit
Newt, the hat and sportswear store at the Royal Hawaiian, won't sell you a hat over the phone or from its website. You'll have to buy it in person, because co-owner Jim Tomasi believes every hat is unique and needs to be fitted on a customer's head.
"A fine Panama hat is priced like a Persian carpet that's priced knots per square inch," said Tomasi. "A Panama hat's price depends on how thin the strands are."
He says true Panama hats are created in Montecristi, Ecuador, each by hand with palm fronds split by a worker's fingernails. It takes about three months to make one. The finer the strand, the more expensive the hat; some cost up to $15,000, though the average is about $1,000.
"Most of our customer base is repeat customers," Tomasi said. "Word of mouth is very big for us."
Sometimes, though, customers come in to the shop because they're curious, he says. "They are attracted to the hats, and come in and talk to me about these hats and then they leave with a hat on their head."

So to celebrate the fact there are now over 50 people crazy enough to follow me, I've decided to do a little giveaway. For what you ask?
A custom Tf fleece hat! Check out my examples:
Winner gets a custom tf hat of a character of their choice~
- Some characters just may not…
I'M SO EXCITED OHHHH JEEZ ;w;
I made a loud squeaky sound and worried my partner because I don't normally make loud squeaky sounds… We're both Ace but we'd still fall under the ban since we're both the same sex and… and…
If you're a woman on the spectrum, within moments of mentioning to an acquaintance that you're autistic or have Aspergers, you'll often be asked, "Have you heard of Temple Grandin?"
This is a bit like asking a physicist if they've heard of Stephen Hawking. Probably, right?
The thing is, the average physicist has little in common with Stephen Hawking. And I have little in common with Temple Grandin.
I've seen Dr. Grandin's speeches, read her writing, and heard a great deal about her accomplishments and her life story. And aside from the fact that we're both on the spectrum and are women, we have very little in common. She has an advanced degree, is a professor and internationally recognized speaker, and has invented technology that revolutionized her field. She was diagnosed with autism as a child and had extensive therapy growing up. She is unmarried and has chosen not to have children. She's been known to say that her work takes the place of an intimate partner relationship in her life.
my intake psychiatrist asked me this immediately when i mentioned i was a sperg. i think Temple Grandin is like our entry level celebrity culture-handshake or something.
(i asked her if she'd ever read the memoir of john elder robeson and she said she hadn't, and wrote it down.)
Thank you for this. It's something I can now shove at my dad when he keeps bringing up the genius/savant type types and constantly says I could reach the same success if I only put effort into it.
Taking it easy one more day, the arm is pain free and there's only just the slightest twinge to my wrist that I hope means it'll be healed up tomorrow enough to get back into the swing of things. Slowly though, just to be on the safe side. So in the meantime, let me tell you how well the cat that showed up on our door is doing.
Jasper is recovering fantastically. His eye cleared up within days and is good as new. And as you can see with the photo, put on a lot of the weight that he needed to. He looks almost like another cat and I know I wouldn't be able to wrap my finger around his waist now. In fact, he's doing so well, that we've been told that they're going to start looking for a forever home for him soon. The other cat in the photo is named Stitch, and they've become buddies while they both strengthen up.
It's kind of bittersweet, since both Heslestor and I fell in love with the little guy but there's no conceivable way we could keep him. He was such a sweetheart the whole time we had him, brief as it was. So much sadness to be had on letting him go. But on the other hand, he's being taken really good care of and the rescue does it's best to screen the adopters to make sure that the homes are best suited to the animals they help.
The Lucky Day Animal Rescue is on Facebook should you like to see more pictures of him and the other animals they've helped and are currently helping.
Bad news is my right hand is still giving me fits.
Good news is I can draw with my left hand.
Bad news is I'm not ambidextrous.

Eventually Heslestor and I are going to co-run an online craft store by the name of Moody Crow. They're going to have things like homemade dog treats and handcrafted paper, and I'm going to have things like my bulbs and prints of my art. So, to spare my hand a little, I did up the icon we're going to be using.
And yes, that is the asexual flag in the back, as we both identify that way.

It's called deniability. By keeping a president out of the loop, his loyal aides can hope to insulate him against any accusation that he knew of the dirty tricks being played on his opponents. That doesn't make the tricks any cleaner, or that the chief executive is any less responsible for what is done by his administration. But by keeping him in the dark, his aides can claim he knew nothing of all the skullduggery practiced in his interest.
. . .
. . .
Here's the latest example of how the Great Game of Deniability is played: It now comes out that, despite earlier claims from the president's press secretary, the White House knew that an inspector general's report was about to show that the IRS had targeted conservative groups like the tea party for special scrutiny. The president's counsel knew it, the president's chief of staff knew it. But it seems they were careful not to tell the president about it.
The current presidential press secretary's name is Jay Carney, but it might as well be Ron Ziegler, who was Richard Nixon's mouthpiece and was always being caught up in his own contradictions.
How could Mr. Carney claim the president didn't know that this scandal at the IRS was about to blow up on him -- even though his closest advisers did? Jay Carney explained that "some matters are not appropriate to convey to him, and this (was) one of them."
That way, like any gang boss called to testify before the old McClellan Committee back in the mobsterish Fifties, the president can claim, "I didn't know nuttin.' " It seems you can take a president out of Chicago, but not the Chicago out of a president.
. . .
Lois Lerner, the bureaucrat who was supposed to be in charge of this whole, highly dubious operation at the IRS, has now taken the Fifth before a congressional investigating committee. Which is her every right, but it does provide another illustration of just how open this administration that was going to be "transparent" has become -- transparent as a brick wall. Hope and Change may have become words now used only ironically to describe what this administration offers, but its Audacity is more audacious than ever.
Talk about a flashback: Ms. Lerner's taking the Fifth brings back the Fifties, complete with its superficial layer of cool propriety over all the grubby manipulations underneath. One almost expects the shades of John L. McClellan and his chief investigator/prosecutor/persecutor, an up-and-coming fellow named Robert F. Kennedy, to appear at these current hearings -- alongside the ghosts of Jimmy Hoffa, Dave Beck, Vito Genovese and enough mob bosses to fill a good-sized hearing room. And now we're told the president of the United States, too, didn't know nuttin'. Or even suspect a lot.
. . .
Deniability. It's become almost a standard feature of modern presidential politics, whether the subject is Watergate, Iran-Contra, L'Affaire Lewinsky and now the games at the IRS. But the history of deniability goes back a lot further. All the way back to an Elizabethan playwright of some note, W. Shakespeare.
Master Will knew all about deniability and how it works. See Act II, Scene 7 of Antony and Cleopatra. The names may be different now, but the way White House counsel Kathryn Ruemmler and Chief of Staff Denis McDonough served their president is pretty much how a Roman statesman named Pompey wished his friend and servant Menas had had the subtlety to pull off.
In Shakespeare's account, Pompey is entertaining the Roman triumvirate -- Marc Antony, Octavius Caesar and Lepidus -- aboard his galley when Menas interrupts him during cocktail hour. It seems Pompey's major-domo has devised a scheme that's sure to work, and he can't resist letting his boss know how clever he's been to come up with it.
Menas begins his whispered aside with Pompey by tempting him with the one lure no politician may be able to resist -- power. Great power.
"Wilt thou be lord of all the world?" asks Menas.
"What says't thou?" asks Pompey, who heard him very well.
"Wilt thou be lord of all the world? That's twice."
Shakespeare knew all about deniability

Robot uses four servos to walk

I have a robot kit, the robot uses four servos to walk, controlled by a micro
control board, the basic control programs come with the compiler, the first
stages of programing, "centering the servos", went ok, but the next stage
which should operate all four servos at once to a set position, does not
work, i get an error message, "incorrect file path", when down loading to
the micro board, a down load bar shows 100% down load, but when the
bot is switched on the servos go crazy, the batteries are well charged , can
any one tell me why i get this message please.
easy.. check the file path. it could be as simple as punctuation, or spelling, or whitespace.
the compiler does not lie.
BTW, at first glance I thought you said you have a root kit
I thought "no way is anyone gonna help you" :-P

Anonymous said: omg your so good happy valentines day <3
awww thank you!! happy valentines day too, hope you had lots of chocolate today hehe (:
I wish I can give you the brownie that I made!
*For this I cheated and used a brownie mix since i found a special edition brownie mix! Its Betty Crocker's peanut butter premium brownie mix with hershey's (Hershey's cocoa and Reese's peanut butter flavoured chips in the mix) (:
If you do decide to be lazy and cheat be sure to follow the instructions on the box. After you have completed making the brownie according to the mix, then follow the steps of the actual Rocky Road Brownie recipe.
Rocky Road Brownie Recipe:
Final touches:
*you can also place the marshmallows underneath the chocolate frosting :)
(I didn't put any coconut shavings for this but added Wilton's Valentine sprinkles)
Happy Valentines day everyone (:
Had some left over mix so I made muffins ☺💕
Ingredients (I made 2 so I just doubled everything if thats what you want to do)
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup sugar
2/3 cup diced walnuts
2/3 cup mini chocolate chip
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 large ripened bananas
1/2 cup butter
2 whole eggs
Hand mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, walnuts, chocolate chips, and vanilla extract in mixing bowl until chocolate chips and walnuts are evenly spread out throughout mixture.
In another bowl, mash bananas and add to the main mixing bowl.
Soften the butter (I microwave for 20 seconds) and add to the main mixing bowl.
Add two whole eggs to main mixing bowl.
Mix all ingredients together by hand until it has a batter-like consistency.
Pour into greased loaf pan.
Let mixture set for at least 20 minutes before baking (Preheat the oven to 180 C).
Bake at 180 C for 65 minutes (may take longer depending on the oven and altitude).
When finished baking, it is best to let it set overnight before serving.
An optional recipe: Instead of the chocolate chips, use 1 1/2 tsp of cinnamon to make Cinnamon Banana Nut Bread.
2 1/8 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups white sugar
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
3 eggs
1 cup milk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 (20 ounce) cans pitted sour cherries (DOES NOT NECESSARILY HAVE TO BE FROM CAN —> can be frozen cherries, and you don't need as many as 20 ounces either, unless you want them)
1 cup white sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
200ml heavy whipping cream
1 tablespoon sugar
^ some ingredients are missing, sorry - make sure to check the ingredients list above to confirm.
As always, the first step of baking is greasing the pan with butter. While the original recipe calls for a round-bottom pan, a bunt-cake pan (as shown in the picture) works fine as well. It might actually be better to use such a pan, because when you drop the cherries into the batter they will sink to the bottom, which means they will be at the top of the cake when you flip the pan after the cake is baked.
Helpful tip - adding a small amount of flour onto the buttered pan before pouring the batter in prevents the batter from sticking to the pan when you take it out.
Add dry ingredients - combine flour, 2 cups sugar, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt
Add eggs, milk, oil, and 1 tablespoon of vanilla
Blend well
Should look like this by the end
Pour batter into pan
Cut the cherries into smaller bits (to your liking)
but save the juice for later
Place cherries on top of the batter
Push the cherries down slightly to help them sink deeper into the batter (they will eventually reach the bottom while the cake bakes)
Bake in a preheated oven of 175 degrees for 45 minutes (while the recipe calls for 35, I found that it wasn't enough time for the batter to be cooked all the way)
Whipped cream & Garnish
Pour 200ml of heavy whipped cream into a large bowl, along with a tablespoon of sugar
Whip until heavy.
Add a small spoonful of sugar into the saved cherry juice ^ use the picture as a guide
Add a large spoonful of cornstarch (片栗粉) (while the recipe calls for 1/4 cup, there was significantly less cherry juice in my case for the ratio to work out)
Stir the mixture well —> place in microwave for about 30 seconds to make it heavier
Take out the cake from the oven and leave it to cool.
Notice how the cherries are now all at the top!
Decorate cake with whipped cream to your liking

I knoooow right. Sorry I was going to change it but I totally forgot to! Thanks for the reminder anon ;)
- 2 ounces (~56g) chocolate
- ¼ cup heavy cream
- 4 ounces (~120g) chocolate
- ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into pieces
- 2 large whole eggs
- 2 large egg yolks
- ⅓ cup granulated white sugar
- ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ¼ cup cake flour
- Raspberries and whipped cream, for garnish
To make the centers, in the top of a double boiler or in a heatproof bowl over barely simmering water, melt the 2 ounces of chocolate with the cream. Whisk gently to blend.
Refrigerate for about 2 hours, or until firm. With your hands, form into six balls; refrigerate until needed.
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Spray six 4-ounce ramekins or custard cups with cooking spray.
To make the cakes, in the top of a double boiler or in a heatproof bowl over barely simmering water, melt the 4 ounces of chocolate and the butter, stirring occasionally until smooth.
In a large bowl, with an electric mixer, whisk the whole eggs, egg yolks, sugar, and vanilla on high speed for about 5 minutes, or until thick and light. Fold the melted chocolate mixture and flour into the egg mixture just until combined. Spoon the cake batter into the ramekins. Place a chocolate ball in the middle of each ramekin.
Bake for about 15 minutes, or until the cake is firm to the touch. Remove from the oven and let sit for about 5 minutes. Run a small, sharp knife around the inside of each ramekin, place an upside-down plate on top, invert, and remove the ramekin. Garnish with raspberries and a dollop of whipped cream.
While the instructions on the recipe calls for melting the chocolate and whip cream over a stove, it is easier to add the cream to the chocolate before placing them both in the microwave for about a minute - remember to keep a close watch on the chocolate and stop the microwave 30-40 seconds in to stir them together. Any longer than a minute and the chocolate will harden.
After some good stirring, the chocolate and cream mixture should look like this.
Make small balls out of the chocolate mixture and place in the fridge to cool and harden
While you preheat the oven (190 degrees), remember to butter the pan you are using or spray them with cooking spray - otherwise the batter will stick to the pan.
Combine the butter and chocolate and once again, as an alternative to using the stove, use the microwave to melt them both.
Place in the microwave once again for about a minute, and once again, make sure to keep a close watch on it - stir them together 30 seconds in.
Should begin to look like this
Onto the next instruction - In a large bowl, with an electric mixer, whisk the whole eggs, egg yolks, sugar, and vanilla on high speed for about 5 minutes, or until thick and light.
Place the hardened chocolate balls in the center of the batter
Bake for 15 minutes
Baked Cheesecake
50g Coconut biscuits (ココナッツサブレ)
40g Melted Butter
Top Layer:
200-250g Philadelphia cream cheese
60g Brown sugar
3 eggs
200ml heavy cream
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons flour
Crush 50g of coconut biscuits (or 5-7) with a rolling pin or anything else hard enough to do the job
Add melted butter to the crushed biscuits and mold them onto the pan - here I used a rectangular pan but traditionally you would be using a circular pan
Mix the cream cheese, brown sugar, eggs, heavy cream, and lemon juice (I squeezed half a lemon) and the flour and stir together
Pour the mixture onto the pan over the molded biscuits and butter
Place into a preheated oven (of 180 degrees) and bake for 15-17 minutes or until golden brown/nothing following when you place a toothpick inside
^ I placed mine a little too long so part of it is overcooked but the inside is very creamy - remember to place in room temperature to cool, and then into the fridge for it to harden the shape

AnyDVD because when I looked into AnyDVD and DVDFab, one of the complaints I read about DVDFab was that they nickel and dimed you to death. AnyDVD was much more up front with its pricing. I paid for lifetime updates. I don't have to renew any subscriptions. On the downside, it does seem that DVDFab gets updated sooner and more regularly than AnyDVD. This is not a problem for me, but depending on your taste in movies it might be for you. And AnyDVD sometimes doesn't respond to email so periodically that leads to unfounded rumors that they are going out business or have already gone out of business. Those rumors aren't true, but just last year we had this issue crop up here in our forums.
Thanks for the reply. Downloaded AnyDVD and will try it out this week. Any quick advice on how to rip a BRD to hard drive to stream over my network. I have been doing this for years with DVD Decrypter and DVD's but BR is a whole new learning experience.
I don't do this kind of streaming but maybe it would be helpful to describe your setup and what you intend to play the stream with in order to get the best advice. WDTV players, for example, do not understand BluRay format per se (well, at least the older ones didn't - not sure about current ones) but should be able to play M2TS files.
you can use Pavtube BDMagic, I have tried a few including Ashampoo, and Cyberlink, plus several other shareware but found Pavtube to be the best. Used the free to try concept and switched to paid version.
In fact, I like the fact that the Pavtube software can read the Blu-Ray spec and decide which file to copy. Normally the largest file but not always. and This is what all software should be easy to use but powerful without thousands of features we don't need. Also if I pick up other devices I know those formats will be supported.
