Temperature Monitor
This product has end-of-life status as of August 1, 2014 and is no longer in active development.
Learn more about your Mac
Next to measured readings, their history data, extreme values and the permissible limits for the sensors, other information about your computer can be displayed as well. This includes the processor type, processor and bus frequencies, manufacturing data, the S.M.A.R.T. verification state of your hard drives, connectors on Intel mainboards, and many other items.
The following screenshot gives you a first impression what's possible with Temperature Monitor (click to enlarge):
Sample screenshot for a dual PowerMac G5 without liquid cooling
Number of displayable sensors will vary greatly depending on Macintosh model.
Sensor Support by Apple
Of course the applications can read out the data only if your computer is equipped with the necessary sensors, and if Mac OS X can access them without needing third-party device drivers. Beginning in summer 2002, Apple has begun to massively drive forward the use of monitoring probes in the PowerMac series, the Xserve series, and in portable computers. Some models are equipped with 100 and more sensors. But Temperature and Hardware Monitor can detect sensors on many older systems as well if they are available.
Temperature Monitor is designed to support sensors of Apple Macintosh computers released between August 2002 and October 2012.

No Regrets1 Reviews
Spira has been saved once again and Yuna rewarded with her love. However, Lulu is reminded of her own lost beloved and wonders what has become of him in the Farplane or how the future could have be...
Author's Note: Being a fan of Auron and Lulu from FFX, I have mostly been reading fics rather than writing them based on the game. However, I had a bit of a plot bunny upon reading a friend's fanfiction of an Auron/Lulu pairing. After some encouragement from her to write my plot bunny I have decided to do so. If you get the chance, please read Helluin's story "Resurrection", which can be found here on Ficwad in the Final Fantasy X section. Finally, this story is based after FFX-2 and with the best ending so if you do not want a spoiler to the end, please do not continue.
No Regrets
Their smiles of beaming laughter and unending happiness reached everyone sitting around them. Summoner and guardian reunited, lovers returned to one another. Yuna's hand, small and delicate, was clasped closely by Tidus' own. Two years they had been separated in two different places, the spirit and living worlds. Now, through some miraculous act, be it magical or spiritual, they were together once more.
From the darkness of her home just beyond the bonfire encircled by the people of Besaid, Lulu watched the young couple. She could not help but feel a sense of emptiness invade her mind. Lu had felt the same void within herself before but not as strongly as it was this night, not since...
Shutting her crimson eyes tightly, Lu forced away the nausea that seemed to always follow when she thought about that day. Having felt the first wave of it wash over her earlier not long after Tidus' appearance off the beaches of Besaid, Lu had retired to her bed earlier than usual. No one thought it strange since the mage had but recently given birth and would more than likely need to recuperate.
Ah, but if they only knew, Lu thought to herself as she felt the wave subside within her.
As overjoyed as everyone for Yuna, Lu had come to the beach at their meeting. However, she began to wonder to herself how it came to be that Tidus had returned. The day he had disappeared had been devastating for Yuna yet hope resounded throughout Spira because of the bringing of the Eternal Calm when they defeated Sin. Unbeknownst to any of the others, save Wakka, Lu had lost someone. Like Yuna, the mage had become sundered from the one who had come to hold her heart.
"Auron," she whispered under her breath, hoping that to say his name out loud would ease her ache within her heart as it had worked many times before.
Opening her eyes, Lu glanced through the slight opening in her tent to the celebration outside. Once more, High Summoner Yuna had saved Spira from the doom and death that threatened the livelihood they had built since the conquering of Sin. Not only did she stop evil from harming the living peoples but also released the fayth from being held captive by the same power. In return, Yuna was rewarded with the one thing she wanted the most. Lu watched as the firelight flickered across their faces, their cheeks flustered from the night's excitement and the warmth of the fire. She was glad for Yuna to have Tidus by her side once more but she could not help but feel her own wanting grow inside her.
A shiver ran up her spine as a sensation of electric heat ran through her. The memories were so vivid and real of their time together that she thought she could almost feel him behind her, his warm breath on her bare neck and tracing fingers following the line of her collarbone. The musky scent that was singularly his own seemed to envelope her yet it was not suffocating but more exhilarating.
Her gaze trailed outside again to where Wakka sat next to his former blitzball team member and fellow guardian of Yuna. She loved him as her husband, as a lover, the father of her child. Though, he was so different. Just like his brother Chappu in many ways, Wakka worshipped her when they were together and listened to her every whim. Yet his presence was more prevalent than her former lover, he was a protector and always behaved so when it came to her and now to their child. She knew Wakka would be a good father despite his misgivings as of late.
Though, neither Wakka nor Chappu were anything like Auron or the love that Lu and he had shared. Matching her with every stroke, teasing her with every touch, tantalizing her senses beyond coherent thought as he suckled the curves of her form, his rough and warm palms wandering over her body... he had been her equal in the fervor of their bed play taking them both further than either had been before. They had agreed not to become attached but they had no power over their inner feelings that drew them closer than they had planned. However, each moment they had together also brought Auron closer to the point that would mark the end of his existence in the living world. They both were aware of it but still continued in their trysts regardless of the hurt it would bring them upon his departure.
A gurgling whimper brought her out of her reverie and Lu turned her head in the direction of the sound. Cooing to her newborn babe, the typically aloof mage known for her ferocious and fell attacks upon fiends became a comforting and loving creature that had seem to come about during her pregnancy. Lu had even wondered to herself about the sudden change bringing her maternal instinct so quickly and unexpectedly. She had even surprised herself since the birth of baby Vidina, catching herself in the duties and actions of being a mother that she had not envisioned doing two years before. Smiling as Vidina calmed his murmuring; Lu hummed a tune to him as she slowly rocked him in her arms, coaxing him into restful slumber once more. After she was certain he had fallen asleep, Lu quieted her humming and let her eyes roam her child's face.
"So much like your father," she whispered as she caressed Vidina's soft cheek with her knuckles.
The strong kicks during her pregnancy had confirmed Vidina was indeed like Wakka, obviously having blitzball in his future. His reddish locks of hair had wrestled free from beneath his cap and Lu could not help but chuckle at the memory of the midwife exclaiming her surprise at the first sight of Vidina's little head. Lu's mood sobered as she lightly tucked Vidina's chubby arm into his blanket. Staring into his silent repose, she could not help but find herself thinking of Auron again. Similar thoughts had invaded her mind upon discovering she was pregnant but now they returned heavily in her mind as she looked upon her child's face, seeing herself within him as much as his father.
How would you have looked? she thought to herself.
Not only did she lose Auron that day but Lu had also felt the terrible sting of losing their own baby. She had only been with child for a short time but she had known the stirring within her. The same Sending of Yuna's that had freed the fayth, sent Yu Yevon and Auron also had the same affect on the growing life within her since it had been fathered by an Unsent.
Would you have had his eyes? Or perhaps mine? Had you been born a boy, would you be your father's son in spirit, voice, and courage? Or even daddy's little girl instead? Would you have had my love of magic or his skill of swordplay? His determination and my will to survive? More than likely a mixture of everything that is and was us?
Questions ran through Lu's mind about the what-ifs, the could've-been, and possibilities but she did not regret her decisions or love for Auron, no matter how much it saddened her. She had no idea if her child with Auron had fully existed yet or if it had a soul. No, she told herself, had it no soul it would not have been sent along with its father to the Farplane. Coming to that conclusion lifted a burden in her heart as she realized their child would not be alone, but with him.
Finally resting her gaze on the sleeping baby in her arms, Lu quietly and carefully placed Vidina in his crib. A slight breeze caught her attention and turning back to the front of the tent, she found Yuna standing at its opening.
"I heard Vidina crying so I thought you might be awake," the High Summoner whispered. "I had hoped to talk to you more in private."
"Come in and sit," she offered, her voice low as to not wake the baby. "What is on your mind?"
"Lulu, you always have answers that explain things better for me," she began. "Do you believe the Sent in the Farplane can hear us when we speak or think about them? And possibly speak to us in return?"
"An interesting question," Lu replied. "Maybe they can but we may not know until we ourselves are there.
"I see," Yuna answered, appearing thoughtful for a moment.
"Could you not ask Tidus if that is possible?" Lu queried.
"He does not remember much after he left us," Yuna said, her eyes downcast for a moment. "But he does remember feeling me at times."
"Yuna, why do you want to know this?" Lu asked further.
"Well..." Yuna began but trailed off as she compiled her thoughts and words. "My father spoke to me and it wasn't in a dream or in my head because I was very much awake. Paine and Rikku heard them too!"
"Them?" Lu repeated, her brow furrowed. "You only mentioned Lord Braska."
"Oh, no! It was not only my father I heard," Yuna exclaimed in a hushed voice. "Sir Auron and Sir Jecht also spoke."
Lu felt as if she could not breathe once she heard Yuna's words. She had not expected this turn in the conversation nor did she ever expect Auron to be present again in any form in the living world. She felt as she did when battling Yu Yevon as it drained her powers and energy but at the same time, a strange thrill of hope coursed through her.
"How is it that this happened?" Lu asked, finally finding her voice.
"When we were battling Vegnagun and Shuyin, I thought about my father since I always gained strength in battle when I imagined him in my mind," Yuna explained. "I thought how he battled fiends and evil with Sir Auron and Sir Jecht by his side, his friends almost as close as brothers. There Rikku, Paine and I were together like them doing the same as they had done."
"What did they say to you?" Lu asked, incredibly curious as to what occurred.
"They told us how to take on Vegnagun, advice as to how to beat him!" Yuna said excitedly, then calmed to an overwhelming, yet quiet, happiness. "I cannot describe how wonderful it was to hear my father speak to me again."
"I am glad for you as well," Lu said, embracing her young friend. "I think you may be right, if we will it deeply enough they must hear our thoughts of them. Maybe the strongest and most influential can answer us."
"I think so too," Yuna nodded then embraced Lu again. "Thank you so much for listening and giving your help."
"I am always pleased to," she smiled as Yuna let go of her and went back to join her celebration.
Once again alone, Lu felt the emptiness and nausea come over her. She wondered if her words to Yuna were true or an explanation of something that was false and simply a dream or hope. If it were real, she wondered if she might ever hear Auron's gruff voice in her ear again even if it were just a whisper on the wind.
"I am with you, always."
Lu shivered again as the sensation of a ghostly touch seemed to pass over her bare shoulders at the same time she heard Auron's voice. She knew she was not imagining it, just as Yuna did too but could not quite describe or explain how she knew or why it happened.
"That was you I felt before," Lu whispered mostly to herself, tears starting to well in her eyes.
"Hmph," the voice said, electric warmth shooting through Lu as she heard his usual smirk. "No regrets, Lu."
"Never," she answered smiling, knowing now he had indeed heard her the night following Sin's defeat. "I will think of you now and again."
She heard him laugh at her bantering tease but it seemed to be fading as if he were drifting away or growing distant.
"As I will of you," he said. "Of what was our story."
"I will never forget that," she said, letting him hear in her voice how true her words were.
"We are proud of you," Auron said, his voice barely audible to her. "Both our daughter and I are."

French brand Piece d'Anarchive has taken inspiration from French artist Jean-Pierre Raynaud and the iconic La Maison de Jean for their Spring/Summer 2014 collection. It's not the first time the tiled house has inspired something in fashion, with Balmain's most recent women's campaign starring Rihanna also taking inspiration from the famous abode. For their collection, Piece d'Anarchive translated the architectural forms into graphic streetwear focused on '90s silhouettes, with heavy layering. They've also released a fashion film to go along with the lookbook, stating that "It brings life, attitude, emotion. It makes it possible to create a real story and universe."

This post is part of the June Word Carnival. The topic is The Care and Feeding of Your Email List. Click the link to get a variety of perspectives from an amazing group of small business experts.
When I began to promote my business online I was bombarded with the message to grow my list or else….
You know what I'm talking about. That feeling you're being surrounded by vendors, each shouting a little louder than the next to buy their list building services right now. If everyone is saying the money's in the list, and the list must be huge, then shouldn't you be building a gargantuan list?
It's not the size of the list but the quality of the list. Would you rather own a tiny painting by Monet, or a large paint by numbers painting of Elvis on velvet? (If you picked Elvis, well what can I say? Elvis? On velvet? I think you may need a style intervention.)
Ahem. Back to email list size. There are two other numbers that are much more important than the size of your list; Open Rate and Conversion Rate. Open Rate is simply the percentage of emails you sent out that were actually opened by the people on your list. While there's no one perfect source for the average email open rate, most commentators fall in a range of 20 to 25%. Clearly a list of 500 with a 70% open rate reaches far more than a list of 10,000 with an open rate of 1%.
Someone read your email, great. What you really want is for them to buy something right?
Conversion rate is the percentage of people who actually purchase something promoted in your email. You can have a list with 1 million people on it, but if your conversion rate is 0% you won't make any money.
If you believe everything you read on the internet, conversion rates can span from 1% to over 20%. If you're a cynical so-and-so like me, you believe that the legitimate number is around 3 to 4%. Of course the higher quality list you have, the higher you can expect this number to go.
The Numbers Whisperer™ caveat – if you have zero people on your mailing list it will be very hard to profit from it, so yes size does matter to some extent.
Should you send an email every day? Once a week? Once a month? On a full moon? What about every blue moon? Every so-called expert will tell you something different. Here's my take…
Timing is everything with email. Send too often (strident), and you'll get ignored or even start losing people. Personally unless the sign-up clearly states "daily", I'm going to unsubscribe if you bombard me every day.
On the other hand silence is not golden with an email list. Wait too long between emails they may forget who you are, forget why they care, and even worse, forget they signed up and mark you as spam. While I blush to admit I have gone longer than I should, I recommend sending emails at least monthly.
If you're not sure how often is often enough for your list, why not ask them? If you're building a new list, I suggest you state the number of emails they can expect right on the form. Your subscribers are as unique as you and your business, sublime for you may not be what works for others. Remember a list is useless if you're constantly adding new names to replace lost subscribers.
I know, I know. I said profit is not by the numbers and here I'm giving you a number, two in fact.
What can I say? I'm a rebel at heart.
80% of the content in your emails needs to be informative, fun, entertaining or useful in some way that does not directly make you money. No more than 20% should appear to be selling. Otherwise you're simply the annoying people in the mall kiosks who harass everyone as they walk by.
Be yourself.
My 3 year old daughter is going through an Aladdin phase. She loves the Disney animated version, and I'm thankful it includes some great humor by Robin Williams as the voice of the genie.
You'll see plenty of email templates available online. The authors claim you can just insert a few key words or terms and they work like magic. I beg to differ. Your subscribers want to hear from you. Like it or not, those templates sound like someone else (and they're usually BORING).
Take the ideas shared in the templates and make them your own, in your own voice. That is what your subscribers signed up for. Not an echo chamber of the internet's latest spiel.
What are some numbers you've found work or don't work with your list? How do you care for your subscribers? What are some things that have worked in driving sales? What has failed?

Email list building can be viewed as similar to cash. When a list is healthy and occupied, there's naturally an upswing in opt-ins, conversion rates, and ultimately sales. Businesses should realize the importance of their lists, and treat them accordingly.

I don't focus on the size of the list but rather on the percentage that opens it each time I send something out to the list. That number helps keep it real for me; that these are people reading and giving me their time. Keeping that in mind helps me write from a place where I can provide more value!
Sandi Amorim recently posted..Regrets of the Dying (and other possibilities for life) (dofollow)
Open rates, click-thrus and conversions are definitely numbers we need to be watching. I also count real responses — you know, when someone hits reply and talks back? I've got a folder just for those in my Inbox and I know that if I don't get at least one or two, my email "failed" to start a conversation — which is really what I want them to do.
Great stuff, Nicole!

Yes! Open rates and CTR are absolutely essential to assess the health of your list. For example, even though people responded with enough "yeses" for me to start sending out a daily email with my podcast link…it soon became evident that people don't always really want what they say they do My open rate dropped significantly, like a lead balloon, and it was clear the daily emails were too much…so I stopped.

That magical thinking you referred to is everywhere! When it comes to building websites or Facebook pages or email templates – there is someone who wants to sell you the quick easy super magic secret trick to getting it 100% right with no effort at all. Drives me nuts. But I guess people want to believe it because the magical thinking vendors are still in business!
You do have to pay attention to your stats because you can learn about what your readers want. Ultimately we want those clicks. And to get them you've got to work for it. I'm with 'ya on the numbers game!

I always think of quality rather than quantity. Although we do need that list…. the quality of opt-ins are what is important to me. One cannot expect a large return on those numbers. They are just numbers and we have to play around with the titles and so forth.
What I got a kick out of is the 80/20 rule, which is steadfast and true. I just wrote my latest blog about that. I was pondering where the heck that number came from and when I dug it up, I wrote about it.

I send monthly emails with a discount, so what is in it for my readers. I have played around days and times in sending to get the most clicks and buys. 4% is a success for my sleepwear line, http://www.haralee.com.
I tried a treasure hunt with clues in 2 part emails for extra saving and my customers HATED it!
I tried a contest and my customers Hated it!
I know they Hated it because they emailed me and told me, but they did not ask to be taken off my email list. I take away from that they they Hated the email but not the company which is good, I didn't annoy them completely.

I love your tip about not focusing on size, I think it is most important to not focus on size but on quality.

Very insightful information on the numbers that DO actually matter. I don't actively work a list at this point, I know a few things that were disjointed and not very helpful on their own. Thanks for pulling together the parts that matter and how to apply them. MOST importantly, thank you for reminding people to make their offer and content personal — not plug and play. As a marketing writer not only can I spot it a mile away, at this point, I'm pretty sure everyone else can too!
Lots of great points here Nicole. I totally agree with the magical thinking. Looking for the magic trick or bullet means we ignore the real business and opportunity that is waiting for us. LOVE the illustrations!
I used to post my blog daily. I have no idea how I managed to ramp up to that level of content, but it sure wasn't sustainable. I can't imagine emailing someone daily about something.
Take a look at the campaigns – right now, both sides are "inventing catastrophes" so that the donations continue to pour in. Once one emergency is satiated, or at least – funded "enough" they move on to the next one.
It was enough to get me to unsubscribe from most of the political stuff, I just couldn't take the constant beg.
Then again, I tend to be on the more conservative side of the 80/20 rule. I instruct my students 90-9-1 rule. 90% conversations, 9% original writing/articles/posting news, 1% promotion

Hi Nicole,
First, great points here!
Having a mailing list is really essential, especially since social media makes it that much easier to connect with our target market.
It's interesting, I get asked all the time about how often to send out emails – my rule of thumb, is to send them information that helps them and will make them feel like they got a valuable tidbit of information from you.
If it's not valuable, then you are wasting your time and theirs!
Thanks for sharing!

Love your commentary Nicole & it's spot on. I have a friend who did a high four figure (or maybe low five figure) launch on a list of three hundred people – which a lot of the gurus would have you believe is straight-up impossible. A lot more important than the amount of people you have on your list is how interested and engaged they are.

i feel sorry for the folks who take every piece of advice from the so-called gurus. early on, i fell victim to following THEIR formulas which in turn, did nothing for MY goals/objectives. and i totally agree – if a "set it and forget it" recipe existed for building and profiting from the perfect email list, we'd all be doing it!
The key – Personally – To remember is to use targeted engagement. There is not any practical use in sending an email (as part of your email marketing campaign) to a thousand untargeted users. They will most likely see your mail as spam and subsequently delete it before even opening. (Example: Owning a website about dogs and sending emails to people in the Cosmetics trade)
And yes – The 80 – 20 rule is a great guideline to use when compiling the Email templates and content. Offer something unique and captivating then you should get a good ROI from your efforts.

I have been doing a lot of thinking about my email marketing strategy, and I've been working to making changes in how I do things. For starters, I'm planning to send a personal email to every one in my list thanking them for joining, letting them know about my plans and asking them how I can help them. I haven't started this yet, but it's on my list of things to get done this month. I was inspired to do this by a podcast at BlogcastFM. I have a relatively small list, so this is doable. Even if you have a larger list, this is doable… It just may take more time for you to go through your list.
As another part of connecting with my readers, I have already started sending a personal email to new subscribers thanking them for joining my list. This isn't a "canned" email. I always write it off the cuff. I'm trying to build a relationship with my subscribers from the start.
The last step in my new strategy will be to get with the people who are unsubscribing to find out why. I realize that sometimes, it's just not a good fit, but I want to find out how I can improve what I'm doing, and who better to ask than the ones who are dissatisfied? They're the ones who can help me find if I have on opportunity for improvement
I agree with you that we should focus on content that will help even if they never buy. I have a few lists I'm subscribed to that I might unsubscribe from because all I ever get from them is promotional emails of some kind.
Anyway, I took way longer than I intended. Thanks for the great post!

Love this! I was talking with a client this morning about the difference between quantity (which we used to shoot for) and quality – which is of HUGE importance to us.
The biggest things that have worked for us in terms of opens, clicks, and sales is just being ourselves. Realising that (as you said) people want to read about what we are genuinely thinking about, they want a good mix of great content, connections to other people and ideas, and they also DO want to hear what we are offering them to buy… but most of all it's not trying to copy anyone else's style.
That, and being OK when people unsubscribe!

Ahh. List building. I nurtured my list for years painstakingly writing great articles and sending monthly. Then magically in January of this year something happened in my psyche. I got lazy. I got busy. Excuses I know. I think partly it was my open rate kept going down and I didn't have the energy anymore. I am still getting tons of opt ins and I know I need to get back to it but I wonder if they will not remember who I am (as you mention here in this post). I am motivated to get started again however.

Excellent information. When it comes to email list I actually had absolutely no idea which is best. Having just a handful of readers, some of them love to read long emails while others, rather reading something short instead. Definitely puzzled me.

I agree quality over quantity is what counts; there is no point having someone on your list who has no interest whatsoever in what you are sending them. In fact, morally, you should always ensure that never occurs. That said, building a list is always hit and miss: as you are never going to be 100% certain you are aiming your posting to the right audience.

Mom Moment
Mahna Mahna, Hurr Durr & the Slow Clap: Our Most Ridiculous Family Rituals
I'm going to admit something right up front: this is one of those posts where the actual content is really just an elaborate lead-up to reading your comments, because I'm far more interested in what you have to say than documenting my own blather. The topic is family rituals, and I want to hear all about yours.
By "family rituals" I mean the completely silly, difficult-to-describe things you and your family do or say on a regular basis. The secret language you share. The dumb dances, the awful singing, the nicknames, the comical expressions -- all of it. I was thinking about this recently when I asked my friends on Twitter if their families had a specific thing they did when they drove through tunnels, and it turns out that almost EVERYONE does.
So let's share ours, because it's the holiday season and it's fun to talk about good-feeling family stuff instead of focusing on shopping and whether or not that Shelf Elf is a minion of Satan. I'll go first:
The tunnel thing. Whenever we drive through a tunnel, all of us make animal noises until we come out the other end. Then, one by one, everyone shouts, "Oh! Not a [cow] [wolf] [kitten] [moose] anymore!"
Our version of saying grace. Before dinner, we chant, "Good food, good meat, good grief, let's eat! Teeeeeaaaam SHARPS!" Then we fistbump around the table.
The slow clap. If one of us does something worthy of a sarcastic response, we clap for them. You know, like this: Clap. Clap. Clap. Because in our family, we value snarkiness over manners, I guess.
"This ain't Disneyland!" What, you think this is Disneyland? is my husband's standard response to any child who isn't doing what they were told to do. "Get your seatbelt on, you think this is Disneyland? And you, stop kicking my seat, this isn't Disneyland!" One of these days we will actually go to Disneyland and the children will be so disappointed.
Making a sandwich. When all four of us hug each other, we pretend that we're each a sandwich ingredient. "I'm the turkey!" my 4-year-old squeaks, from the bottom of the pile. "I'm the lettuce!" says my 7-year-old. "I'm the tomato!" I say. "And I'm the mayonnaise," my filthy husband says in my ear.
Sunday night AFV. We are religious about watching America's Funniest Home Videos each week, an activity that involves the kids reenacting the falling scenes on the living room carpet: "And then he went like this: DONK!!"
Mahna Mahna. Somewhere along the line, the "Mahna Mahna" song became our version of Rickrolling. The way it works is this: you tell someone a fib designed to freak them out, and as soon as they react, you shout, "Mahna Mahna! Doot DOO di doo doo!" My 7-year-old did a great one a couple weeks ago when he called his father, and panicked over the phone that the toilet was filling with water and wouldn't stop. My husband: "But ... wait, is your mom--? Can you-- TELL HER TO TURN OFF THE WATER!!!!" Haaaaaa, mahna mahna.
Hurr Durr. To understand why all four of us sing/shout, "Hurr durr durr durr durr durr durr durr durrr, hurr durr DURR, hurt durr DURR" whenever someone does something silly, you'll have to hear a very annoying song. It's -- now, don't go clicking this link without turning down your speakers, okay? -- here.
Okay, quid pro quo, friends -- what funny/weird/silly/stupid rituals does your family have?

LISBON, Portugal (AP) -- Pacos Ferreira routed last-place Moreirense 5-0 thanks to doubles by midfielders Paulo Hurtado and Vitor Silva in the Portuguese league on Sunday.
The convincing away win kept Pacos Ferreira in fourth place and lifted it to within one point of third-place Braga.
Hurtado opened for Pacos Ferreira in the 24th minute and scored again with a header in the 56th.
Silva netted a minute before halftime and scored a second time a minute before the final whistle. Luiz Carlos added another goal in the 69th.
Also on Sunday, Sporting Lisbon was held to a 1-1 home draw by Guimaraes.

Georgia's football program still doesn't have a defensive coordinator, but the opening continues to prove lucrative for coaches pursued for the job.
LSU said Thursday that its highly regarded defensive coordinator, John Chavis, received a pay raise and agreed to stay in his current job after being offered the Georgia position.
Georgia's chase of Chavis played out similarly to its earlier pursuit of veteran Virginia Tech defensive coordinator Bud Foster, who said he turned down a UGA offer after the Hokies considerably sweetened his contract.
Chavis' decision could prolong an already month-long Georgia search for a successor to the fired Willie Martinez. UGA coach Mark Richt said for the first time Thursday that the search could extend beyond the first week of the new year.
"I don't know if it will or not, but it could," said Richt, who previously had said he hoped to have a new coordinator hired by the end of the first week of January.

which seems to be from one of Japan's innumerable collectible card games. I have been told that this is a card called "Miracle Beauty" from Cardfight!! Vanguard, and that the flavor text has the woman informing us that she'll show us "a REAL miracle" with her "Shining Wink". Uh. Well then.
… anyway. The anatomy. What? How? How are we seeing both of her breasts at the same time from that angle? And… we can see her full rear, too? How broken is she?
I submitted this to Escher Girls… uh, about a month and a half ago, at least, but I submitted it before I actually started following that tumblr, so I don't know if it didn't go through, wasn't accepted, or if it's just in the queue somewhere.

Peanut-Free/Nut-Free Directory
Our directory is intended as a resource for people with peanut and nut allergies. It contains foods, helpful products, and much more.
My reactions to accidentally eating something with peanut/peanutbutter in it has become so devastinating that I think I am doomed to just lay down and die.
My boss doesn't understand how bad I feel from this allergy and shows no sympathy. My co-workers actually said my face was peelish-green. I was wheezing and feel like a dark cloud was over me trying to suck the life out of me. I truly think this disease will kill me eventally.
I hate the way this allergy makes me feel.
Hello. My name is sam. Just wanted to remind you that their is a lot in life to experience and to keep your head held high. I'm no doctor, but I think this may be a symptom of depression and may want to look into it. I feel this way sometimes...I'm not religious, but I do think there is a little bit of reason in being the way we are. Why don't you try becoming an activist? Fight against ignorant people like your boss. Take a vacation, get some sun. I imagine that would be good for you...
Peanuts, Soy, Peas, asthma allergies
I hope you are feeling better about this situation. Being diagnosed with a new disease/condition can have very horrible psychological effects on a person, and it's normal to feel the way you are/were feeling. I hope you feel better.
It's a matter of educating yourself. Research and talk to your allergist/doctor to get help. Join a support group. Spend more time on this forum to get help from others who have been in your position. Your reaction to the peanuts, that sense of "impending doom" is actually a normal allergic response. You feel panicked, and it's because your brain knows something is terribly wrong.
Practicing avoidance and making sure you have emergency medication on you at all times will help you get through this. You will gradual become more comfortable with your newly diagnosed allergy and know how to keep yourself safe.
Oh, and to hell with your co-workers and boss. :)

You asked me why I keep this chain around my neck.
It's to remind me that no matter how far I run, how hard I try to hide or escape, my past, me emotions will ALWAYS chain me down.
It's a reminder that I need to stop and face my fears. To stop and understand my feelings, rather than box them away.
A reminder that the more I run, the more the people that I care about the most get hurt.
A reminder that until I can do all of this, I will never be free.

I found this little mouse half-drowned in a puddle of water last night. I thought he was dead at first, but I picked him up, dried him off, and he was alive! He was walking pretty well, so I took him to the park and let him go!

Here I write, my pen aquiver
Consid'ring stabbing out my liver
This fever rocks; this fever rolls
I feel it in my fucking soles
101, 102, then 103
It sucks tonight, just being me
Sick as a dog, while mine just pants
And observes me write these fev'rish rants
It snuck up quick, this ill of mine,
I told myself, I'll be just fine
A vegan me, I'll fight it fast
Just power up my chloroplasts
Went to the Reade of Duane and found some zinc
This will cure my pain, I'd think
A dash of the C that trails Emergen-
(I really AM a sickness virgin!)
I should sleep now (these rhymes must suck)
So off to bed now; I'll self-tuck
While one last thought keeps me awake
One lone idea, I cannot shake
There is a word, it's quite mundane
Describes my ills - one and the same
No, it isn't "orange", though rhyming's hard
SO tempted to pull the Google card
"NO! That's cheap!" I tell myself
I put the 'net back on the shelf
If only word was "Fin-Shu-Benz-a"
'Cuz NOTHING rhymes with influenza
So here I sit, my brain a-whirring
Pain-soaked synapses barely purring
Goddammit, SHIT, FUCK ME!…CREDENZA.

WHAT'S VEESTRO? Recently, I was lucky enough to be sent a large package of frozen meals to test out from a new all-vegan home delivery company.
What is Veestro, you ask?
I like to think that Veestro is what would happen if you took that old sepia-toned Schwan Food Delivery truck that used to roll through my neighborhood as a child and gave it a healthy, cruelty-free new kick and a 21st-century makeover.
From their website, Veestro is the outcome of a brother-sister partnership and a professional veg-chef, inspired by a trip to Costa Rica and the lack of time to cook and good existing frozen options.
First off, I was impressed by the range of their foods. All of their meals are 100% vegan, and organic and non-GMO as well. Veestro seems to have tried to cover as many different cuisines as possible. Here's what was included in my box:
Perusing the ingredient lists, I'm very impressed with the lack of anything unpronounceable, and the fact that they're all organic and non-GMO is even better. They've also got plenty of gluten-free options, which I appreciate.
PREPARATION: The one thing that I found difficult regarding the food was the cooking instructions. First, the food arrives frozen but is to be thawed for the cooking instructions, which necessitates a bit of night-before planning. The instructions themselves varied greatly from dish to dish, which is expected, but some required one part of the dish to be baked in the oven, and another to be microwaved or cooked on the stovetop. Furthermore, it seemed to me that the cooking times were all a bit too low. While I hate using a microwave, thawing something overnight, then baking it for 25-30 minutes cuts down on the convenience of frozen food. However, if that's the price to pay for 100% vegan/organic/non-GMO food delivered to your doorstep, it's something I can definitely live with.
THE FOOD: And now, the TASTE: As far as the food goes, I was actually very pleased. I tend to use Amy's frozen foods as the benchmark for all things vegan and frozen, and Veestro's compared well, with seemingly better ingredients. In all, I would say the food ranged from fair to great. The Tofu Scramble was a bit dry and unseasoned, and the Tomato Lentil soup was decent, if not terribly exciting, but I quickly forgot about that when I tasted the sauce for the Thai Chick'n Stew. Wow. That was a seriously delicious sauce - I was wishing for a second package as soon as I was done with the first.
The Lentil Meatloaf was another hit - the gravy was phenomenal, and paired with the lentil-loaf, it made for a very filling, high-protein dinner.
The Veggie Empanadas were fun, and the chimichurri sauce was tangy and tasty, if a little oily. However, VEGAN EMPANADAS!
Another surprise was the Raspberry Cheesecake. Vegan cheesecake is the ultimate hit-or-miss item, and this one was very impressive.
CAVEATS: Overall, Veestro is doing some really fantastic things as far as frozen food goes - they're as good or better than anything you'll find in the frozen section at Whole Foods. However, they've got the price to match. The per meal prices are pretty steep - most of the entrées seemed to run in the $10-$12 range, which is definitely higher than you'd pay at a supermarket. Then again, look at the ingredient lists of what you just put in your cart - it's tough to call Veestro so expensive when you know what the sodium-packed, preservative-laden alternative is. Also, their meal plans seem to offer a pretty good discount over the a la carte prices, and the $35 shipping fee is waived. In other good news, Veestro seems to have done everything they can to reduce the obvious environmental impact of shipping food across the US by using recycled packaging.
CONCLUSION: The food was great, the ingredients were solid, and it all came from a company that seems to care about what they do. However, I was left wondering exactly who Veestro was for. I live in New York City in a less-than-400sq ft apartment with a equally-tiny kitchen, and have very limited time, but I still end up cooking for myself quite a bit. Also, with FOUR high-quality grocery stores within a four block radius (Fairway, Trader Joe's, Citarella, and Westside Market), and TWO Whole Foods within a 20-minute walk, along with too many vegan and vegetarian restaurants and options to count, I don't know if I'll be needing frozen vegan home delivery. (Yes, I'm very spoiled.) However, for the suburban or small-town vegan with limited time and vegan options, or for a vegan family with two working parents, I could very well see Veestro being an absolute revelation.
I'm very happy that Veestro is there to fulfill that need.

Here goes: I was walking down to the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts at Lincoln Center to search for some new audition monologues, when I noticed what looked to be a check on the sidewalk on Broadway and W 70th St. I passed it at first, but for some reason, turned around and decided to pick it up. It was for a couple hundred dollars to a guy named Philip, from the Vivian Beaumont Theatre - an incredible coincidence, since that particular theatre is AT Lincoln Center, where I was already headed.
The check had Philip's address on it, which happened to be right on my way as well - another coincidence; I decided I'd try and return it.
It didn't take me long to find the building. I walked through the large revolving doors, and explained myself to the doorman. He looked surprised at first, then called up to the room. "There's a Mr. Alex here to see you. You don't know him. He's got a check. Should I let him up?" After a pause, he hung up and told me, "He will come meet you in the lobby." (This Phil was obviously a smart guy - don't let strangers with unidentified checks come up to your apartment.)
I waited in the opulent marbled lobby for a few minutes, until the elevator door gave a curt "ding" and a stocky gentleman in a t-shirt walked out, looked hesitantly at me, then to the doorman, and then finally walked over to me, hand outstretched, smiling. I told him that I was an actor, and that anyone getting paid for a theatre gig deserved whatever check had their name on it. Phil explained that he was not an actor, but a stagehand at the Vivian Beaumont, and he was thrilled to have his check back. He said that finding him and returning his check was "the most human thing", which I thought was a little much, but New York has a tendency to more finely-tune you to random acts of minor humanity.
Anyway, he pulled a crumpled $10 bill out of his pocket, and insisted I take it. "Buy yourself lunch tomorrow, please!" he told me. I refused, but he was relentless. Eventually I gave up, and promised him I'd pass it on.
I'm now sitting at the beautiful fountain by the famous Lincoln Center Steps, writing this post and wondering what I should do.
So here's where you come in: I've got this stray Hamilton - where should he go? What's the best use of it, and how far can $10 change anything? I'm up for any suggestions you've got! Hit me. Let's make it count.
My very sad little puppy/satellite-dish. Good news though, the surgery couldn't have gone better! Recovery time! (Taken with Instagram)

Crumpling newspaper is so easy, your dad can do it with one hand! Or can he? This Father's Day, bet him your allowance that he can't strong-arm the press.
What to Do: Round up five full sheets of newspaper. Have your dad extend his arm and use that hand to crumple each piece of paper into a ball. Give him two minutes to get the job done.
The Scoop on Why He Can't: Odds are, his arm will give out after crumpling just two or three sheets. That's because the muscles he's using don't often see a lot of action, so they tire out surprisingly fast.

UAL approached us to create a visual identity for their Alt/Shift conference, held in December 2012 to discuss and examine the future form of education for design and the creative industries. Ensuring the look and feel was reflective of the cross disciplinary, networked and circular economies that the event was looking to promote was crucial in our final route. Working alongside Chambers Judd, we designed and developed a supporting website to encourage online discussion in the lead up to the event. We also created an animated logotype for display at the conference with recent UAL graduate Alistair Hanson, and produced printed A2 promotional material to act as both a mail out and to help publicise the event.
'Alt/Shift's purpose was to examine how UAL could better connect with the most innovative areas of the design industry. So INT Works were ideal partners. Managing through inclusive consultation and using their invaluable marketing strategy, meant our platform now fully reflects the contemporary, dynamic, forward thinking attitude of Alt/Shift. They have provided us with a distinctive identity to carry forward into future initiatives.' Derek Yates, Senior Lecturer in Graphic Design, UAL Camberwell.

How to Find an Avian Vet
The term "avian vet" can be misleading. Did you know that any vet can use that term, regardless of their education, certification, or experience? All that is required to call yourself an "avian vet" is a willingness to treat birds! In fact, the most common searchable database (aav.org) is a PAID database! Vets pay to be listed on it, and they may have no other special education or experience with birds. It's kinda like the 1-800-DENTIST for birds.
Therefore, it is best to find a "Board Certified Avian Vet"- one who has worked on birds a minimum of 6 years and has taken a rigorous exam (and passed). In the US, an avian vet would have "ABVP" after their DVM and in Europe they would have a an "ECAMS" after the DVM as their certification.
How to find a Board Certified Avian Vet vet near you:
United States: ABVP.com
Europe: ECAMS
Be prepared! Please read the post here called "Emergency!". Buy a Gram Scale! Assemble a First Aid Kit! Keep it stocked!
The nearest real avian vet may be hours away from you. This is due to the fact that there are only a couple hundred avian vets in the whole WORLD. If this is the case, you should do a bit of research and find a second if not third vet within a proper travel distance.
Find the nearest avian vet in case your birds life is in danger and you need someone that KNOWS what to do about it and fast. Then, find the nearest non-certified avian vet that specializes in birds. If that vet is quite a distance away local your nearest vet that accepts birds. Some vets only take dogs/cats, cows, horse, ect ect… You need contact them and speak with them to find out.
You may find that after searching the ABVP and ECAMS databases that there is no Board Certified Avian Vet near you. In that case, ASK LOTS OF QUESTIONS of any prospective non-certified avian vet.
Many of these avian vets are wonderful- and may be indeed studying toward the Avian Medicine Exam. (It does take 6 years of practice before they can take this test, remember.) The first question on your list should be, "How many birds do you see in your practice DAILY?" The answer that is best for your bird will be at least "four". Any less and they most likely do not have enough experience. Then ask what sorts of birds they have treated, and what sorts of conditions.
If you cannot find an avian vet with the two best links above, here are links to find other non-certified avian vets treating birds:
Also research emergency care. What happens if your bird gets stepped on at 9 PM at night? What if it can't stand or is bleeding out its mouth? A broken wing or leg? An accident in the kitchen? What do you do? Who do you call? You should already know. Not knowing is irresponsible neglect of any pet. Researching vets does not cost you a penny but can save you a bundle of money and grief in the future.
I keep magnets (business cards with magnet backing) of all the avian vets, emergency vets, etc. on my fridge, so that when I am in a panic, I can clearly see who to call.
Other Emergency Medical Contacts:
ASPCA National Animal Poison Control Center (USA) 24-hour emergency phone number: 1-888-426-4435
(Vets are available to help 24-hours a day, but you are charged a fee for the call)
