- Mushroom Essence
- 1 pound boned, skinned sole fillets, rinsed
- 3/4 cup chopped green onions
- 2 tablespoons drained capers
- 2 tablespoons cream sherry
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon minced peeled fresh ginger
- 1 1/2 pounds thin-skinned potatoes, rinsed, peeled, and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
- 1/2 teaspoon dried tarragon
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- About 1/2 cup low-fat (1%) milk
- 1/4 cup shredded gruyère or Swiss cheese
- Salt and pepper
- 1. Pour one recipe's worth of Mushroom Essence through a fine strainer into a 4- to 5-quart pan; discard the ginger. Put mushrooms in a shallow 10- to 11-inch oval casserole (about 2 1/2 qt.). Add 1/2 cup green onions, capers, sherry, soy sauce, and ginger to mushrooms; mix and spread level. Lay sole fillets evenly over mixture, overlapping if necessary. Cover casserole tightly with foil.
- 2. Bake sole in a 375º oven until fillets are opaque but still moist-looking in center of thickest part, about 15 minutes.
- 3. While sole bakes, add potatoes and tarragon to mushroom broth. Bring to a boil over high heat; cover and simmer until potatoes are soft enough to mash easily, about 15 minutes. Drain potatoes in a strainer over a bowl. Pour liquid back into pan and put potatoes in the bowl.
- 4. Uncover sole and drain juices into pan. Boil liquid over high heat until reduced to about 3/4 cup, 4 to 5 minutes. In a small bowl, blend cornstarch with 1 tablespoon water and stir into boiling liquid; stir until boiling again, and remove from heat. Turn oven to broil.
- 5. Meanwhile, with a potato masher or a mixer, mash potatoes until smooth, adding enough milk for desired texture. Push sole and mushrooms toward center of casserole to leave a 1-inch space around the edge. Spoon potatoes (or pipe through a pastry bag with a large plain or star tip) into space. Pour sauce over sole mixture. Sprinkle potatoes with cheese.
- 6. Broil about 4 inches from heat until cheese is very lightly browned, about 4 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup green onions. Add salt and pepper to taste.

I'm probably a little weird, but sometimes I love listening to police scanners and various chit chat as I'm going to bed. I also like analog devices, so a Nixie Clock Radio seemed like a neat idea: the look of the classic Nixie clock merged with streaming radio and an alarm/sleep timer. It works...

City of Wilmington / New Castle County: Two budget showdowns, two leadership styles
Both Wilmington Mayor Dennis Williams and New Castle County Executive Tom Gordon face budget showdowns this week.
Both tests of power between these executives and their respective legislative bodies could color executive--legislative relations.
If one had asked someone last year which person - Williams or Gordon - would display the more muscular, aggressive style (at least in public), a lot of folks probably would've said Gordon.
But Williams is coming off more like the bull in the china shop, and Gordon more restrained, at least publicly.
New Castle Couunty Council will vote Tuesday night on whether to retain the Gordon budget pretty much intact, or whether to cut. It is a philosophical difference: Gordon would prefer to begin the fiscal year with maximum funding to begin repairing parks and othe programs. A group of council members favors funding only what are perceived as critical services and programs. Either way, Gordon says he seeks to avoid an ugly battle. At the same time, Gordon promises not to veto an amended budget, even if it passes with significant trimming. (Although don't discount what Gordon can do "under the radar".)
Now let's look at the City of Wilmington. A battle royale ensues. Mayor Dennis P. Williams has already vetoed the budget - as amended by council - and council will vote to override the mayor's veto Thursday. City Council President Theo Gregory dismissed Williams' call for a special budget meeting this Tuesday. (Gregory argued the administration had failed to produce the criteria for such a special meeting: Public necessity and no ordinance needing immediate consideration.) On the air with Peter & Mellany this Tuesday morning, Mayor Williams said his administration was seeking legally to compel city council to go into special session.
If Council overrides that mayoral veto, Williams, in an interview with me, vowed to take the dispute to court -- although Williams' chief of staff, John Matlusky, characterized such a legal challenge as "speculative".
The hot potato in all this is a quarter-Million-dollar allocation council members assigned to themselves during the budget process.
And now enter former Mayor Jim Baker. In an interview with me, Baker sides with council members, saying council has the right to set its own budget under the city charter, that council did not pirate executive responsibilities for itself. (High irony here, considering Baker's legendary battles with council!) Baker says Williams has got it wrong and Williams is likely to lose this battle.
But in interviews with me and others, Williams continues to insist council wants him to acquiesce to something that violates the state Constitution and that it's time to turn aside "business as usual".
Probably the final gambit from the Williams Administration before city council's Thursday meeting: The administration contends city council could botch the use of that quarter Million bucks, particularly contracts awarded earlier this year to an advocacy outfit called "Education Voices".
The mayor's office notes Education Voices' contract with New Jersey attorney James Rolle, who clerked at Council President Theo Gregory's law firm and whom Gregory describes as a "trusted family friend."
Adding to the Harper Valley PTA aspects to this, City Councilwoman Maria Cabrera says it's ironic the Williams Administration would construe inappropriate relationships within "Education Voices" given the mayor's employment of Velda Jones Potter (wife to his cousin, State Representative Charles Potter, Jr.) as his "chief strategy adviser". And lest we forget, the mayor's office also hired the Potters' son as a special events / marketing co-ordinator, although that son resigned in under five months.
Behind the scenes, the intense lobbying continues.
Intrigue: Can Williams pick off one or two votes? It will be a supreme test of the mayor's political chops.
But if Williams loses the veto override, he seemingly comes off a lot weaker, a lot more bloodied, than if Gordon got an amended budget with the cuts he didn't want. It would also be telling if Williams did proceed with a court battle.
Win or lose, the mayoral--city council relationship would be toxic. Not exactly a positive omen for a city still battling street shootings and other ills.

As a casual observer on the two styles, they speak loud to me that Gordon has been through this before, Williams hasn't.

I think it's time for Jim Baker to retreat to his bungalow. Who made him referee?

Is it true that when a guy cums inside you, you smell bad?
Is it true that when a guy cums inside you, you smell bad?
What's Your Opinion?
Most Helpful Opinion
I wouldn't say it's a bad smell lol, it's just different because it's a combination of your fluids and his. I know what I smell like, and I know what his semen smells like, and I know what they smell like together. I don't really notice it too much unless I have some on my hand or something. Throw in some sweat, and it's the 'smell of sex' people always talk about. =P After laying around and catching my breath for a few minutes, I like to go pee and clean up right away. The gooey sensation is a turn-on at first, but it gets kind of uncomfortable after a while, so I don't like to let it sit for too long. Doing some kegels in the bathroom gets the majority of it out, then wipe it down and maybe give a quick rinse or take a full shower if you're still uncomfortable with it, and you're pretty much back to normal. I smell like 'myself' again by the time I get up and use the bathroom again, generally, whether it be in the morning or like 4 hours later. If you pass out and don't clean up or rinse until the next day, then yes there will be a lingering smell, but it goes away once you rinse as best you can, and wash the outside like usual, because the vagina takes care of itself.
i think you hit the nail on the head...you werent downing here an yet you gave a good solution to her problem...thumbs up for not making her feel bad...lol
What Guys Said 6
No, it's not true.
how do you know? you don't own a vagina. I'm talking from experience. Yes it does smell different.
- Show Older Hide Older
I LOL'd so much at conspiracy against littleviolet.
There is a smell! I never said it's putrid but I know it's different to my "normal" smell. Google it, you will find lots of women have this problem & other girls on here also said it happens to them. Maybe it's only from uncircumcised men. But it does happen! Its a cheesy smell & it doesn't matter if I have a shower afterward. It takes a while for my vagina to smell "normal" again.
No? why would it lol, I guess different guys come is probably going to smell different but for the most part I don't think it would make you smell, if anything than only temporarily
Looks like all of the other girl here are working together to down rate people, who dare say their p**** smells putrid. After a load of cum. They want to hide it so they seem pristine. hahahaha
I've had sex the day with my girlfriend the day after she had come inside her (she's on birth control btw). She didn't smell any different at all.
Heh! Heh! I am glad to see that EVERYONE agrees! Evidently some smell and some don't? I have never noticed that..and while I am not female...I share a bed with one almost every night for the last 16 years...
^^ Yeah.
Sorry, I can't tell because I haven't cummed inside someone.
I feel my sperms smell like cologne.
- Show Older Hide Older
What Girls Said 13
That is ridiculous! Some normal hygene practices such as a shower or bath after sex, plus the natural clensing that takes place within our vagina's removes those sperm cells before they rot and smell. Under normal circumstances only a person who does not take care of themselves might possibably have this problem
Like the girls below
- Show Older Hide Older
The natural cleaners don't work as soon as it's happened it's still there the next day
I never once suggested you douche. Nor did any of the other ladies here. Stop using the "I can't douche" as an argument, because no one has said you have to.
Not that I've noticed?! :o)
It smells different, but I wouldn't say bad.
Yes, it's horrible. It's from the mixture inside you combining with his. It depends on the guy though because some have come that smells horrible and some that don't smell at all.
ok so you can wash inside there just don't put saop up there are you def will smell its a fact from a dr...but sum girls do get an allergic reaction from sperm...i watched a show called strange sex an there was this girl tht was allergic to sperm...an my sister is the same way...but it doesn't smell for days after...or for hrs after for tht matter...you need to shower more or get checked you may have a more serious problem gurly
LOL! Ur answer makes more sense than most on this page!
thank you...i watch a lot of factual TV shows...an I also thought tha show was bout p*rn ahahahahahaha...but its the truth...an I think people trying to tell her she is dirty is wrong...maybe she cleans all day long...tht still doesn't ignore tha fact tht sum girls are just allergic...so for her to be honest an want sum help is good...but people should help her not argue with her...GO TO THA DR!...we are not dr's hun...
yeah it's true
from my expierence it only starts to smell if you leave it in there over night, but then goes away after you shower. You have to clean yourself of course, but it shouldn't really be an issue
No. Pee, shower, carry on.
Better yet, pee in the shower. Kill 2 birds.
LOL! Yeah! I would like that!
That's not true! lmao! I am a virgin and I know that. If you are both clean people you're not going to smell.
how do you know if your a virgin & haven't experienced it? you will get a different smell the next day if he comes inside of you. Your vagina won't smell how it usually does.
- Show Older Hide Older
im just stating the facts girly...the women or your friends who tell you this stuff...which is a weird convo to have with anyone...prolly don't have tht problem...but however sum girls or women do...an you wouldn't know if you have tht problem cause again...YOUR A VRIGIN... so please stop answering questions like this if you don't have a factual comment...an if you ask a dr they will tell you its true...lol
You don't need to have caught a cold to know how a person gets it. Also, These are the symptoms when someone is allergic to sperm, link No where does it say you will smell weird. Also, I'm not the only one on here that said, "no" to this question. I think you just want to attack me specifically. Doctors (not saying I am one) don't need to have a disease to diagnosis it. So calm down.
yeah if you don't wash until the next morning
No! lol, like, who told you that?
Yes, for a few days afterward. It's gross. Use a condom.
im probably getting downvoted by guys because they don't like condoms lol. But it's true. It makes your vagina smell & have discharge (from the left over semen) and you can't wash it out because douching is really bad for your vagina, you'll get an infection.
ALWAYS better off taking come in ass. You can push it out a lot easier. So even if You have a GREAT vag bang...still have him come in ass. Works awesome.
lol@marcus...thts funny kinda gross but funny...
OKAY so besides the ego annoying guys on here that think girls pussy is the only thing that smells y'all nigga's cum smell nasty too dont think pussy only stinks ego maniacs FOH

A good, solid recipe if you want broccoli soup but don't want anything heavy (no cream, milk, half-and-half or butter). The best tip I can offer is to completely skip Step 2. It is unnecessarily complicated and messy. Just use an immersion blender.
Creamy Broccoli Soup

AmyK12 Posted: 10/16/12
This soup was sooooo good! We loved it!! As the last reviewer suggested, I used an immersion blender instead of a traditional standing blender. I left some of the soup lumpy, because I like chunky soups. I also added some sliced baby bella mushrooms after I blended the soup, just before I served it. For garnish, I also made some homemade croutons and sprinkled them on top. This is definitely going into my regular rotation. :)

I made this soup for my office St. Patrick's Day party. It went over very well.
itravel Posted: 07/09/13
If you haven't tried this soup please do! It's creamy with no cheese or milk. After veggies boiled I used the immersion blender and added some cumin, red pepper, onion& garlic powder, more black pepper. You know it's healthy but oh my it tastes rich!

AFMC to declare 5-Center IOC Oct. 1, track results of reorganization
AFMC to declare 5-Center IOC Oct. 1, track results of reorganization

Air Force Materiel Command Public Affairs
9/27/2012 -
WRIGHT-PATTERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Ohio
-- After some 18 months of planning and careful transition, Air Force Materiel Command officials are ready to declare initial operational capability of AFMC's 5-Center reorganization Oct. 1 and continue the process of improving its support to the warfighter.
In early July, the command began activating its new centers and consolidating others as it transitioned from operating with 12 centers to five.
"We have spent many months working through very deliberate phases of planning, implementation and transition with an ever-present goal of providing more efficient and effective support to the warfighter," said Gen. Janet Wolfenbarger, AFMC commander. She said AFMC will be just as deliberate as it works toward reaching full operational capability by late 2013.
Wolfenbarger said the 5-Center construct is also being incorporated into a new AFMC strategic plan that will not only guide the command from IOC to FOC with firm priorities, but also measure results through a series of metrics. The metrics will measure how well the new 5-Center organization is carrying out the AFMC mission of delivering war-winning expeditionary capabilities to the warfighter.
"Our measurements will be results-oriented," Wolfenbarger said. "We are going to measure productivity, not simply activity."
The metrics will be reported by the centers and select headquarters offices to command leadership.
To date, AFMC centers have already reported early successes stemming from the transition to the new center construct. Among them are the following:
The Air Force Research Laboratory consolidated its Air Vehicles Directorate and Propulsion Directorate into a single Aerospace Systems Directorate. In addition to saving taxpayers $4.2 million annually, the consolidation improves mission effectiveness by promoting integrated solutions to warfighter needs.
At the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center, the realignment of all activity associated with a single weapon system to a single program manager yielded a more integrated acquisition and sustainment execution process.
At the Air Force Test Center, subordinate units have teamed to share resources rather than develop independent, competing capabilities. One wing shared information about software development programs and gathered inputs from multiple organizations, producing an enterprise-capability assessment versus a single-site analysis.
At the Air Force Sustainment Center, initial integration activities resulted in an enterprise view across the center's three air logistics complexes. A prime example came in the form of integrated weekly performance reviews related to aircraft production.
At the Air Force Nuclear Weapons Center, officials aligned Air Force and Navy programs to better leverage technologies and components for the Intercontinental Ballistic Missile fuse modernization.
Command officials are excited about the progress made so far.
"I can unequivocally say that we are operating more effectively today than we were two months ago," said Lt. Gen. Bruce Litchfield, AFSC commander.
Brig. Gen. Arnold Bunch, AFTC commander, added, "This reorganization has allowed us to do the things that as captains and majors we wanted to do, but couldn't.
"I am already seeing more communication across the sites and sharing of resources with a Test Enterprise focus," he said. "I am extremely pleased with the merger of the test and air base wings. The merger has gone very smoothly, and some of the barriers between the support and test teams have been broken down with everyone now focused on a single mission."
The 5-Center construct was formally announced in November 2011 as a major part of AFMC's response to a Department of Defense challenge to find efficiencies and save tax dollars. By reducing and consolidating overhead, the command will continue to support to the warfighter while saving about $109 million annually.
AFMC moves to IOC having met three critical requirements in June. The Senate confirmed AFMC's new general officers to lead the consolidated centers, two Congressionally-mandated reports were delivered to Congress and Headquarters Air Force formally approved the transition.
Since June, the command carried out an important transition phase during which new centers' frameworks stood up and began to take shape.
The five centers are Air Force Research Laboratory and the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center, both headquartered at Wright-Patterson AFB; Air Force Test Center, headquartered at Edwards AFB, Calif.; Air Force Sustainment Center, headquartered at Tinker, AFB, Okla.; and the Air Force Nuclear Weapons Center, headquartered at Kirtland AFB, N.M.

Thanks, Mary! Lingerie sewing is loads of fun.
Apr 30, 2013, 06.00 AMby carolientje
if you do your part and lycra stitching together, and you put it open, the lycra comes under your side of the lace stitch it with a zigzag stitch (2/2) and your closing is on the other side but it's well done :))
Apr 30, 2013, 12.45 PMby kathhhhhy
Thanks! Sorry…. there must be something lost in translation here… not sure what you are explaining. Perhaps you're saying the lace is sewn incorrectly to the fabric on the front? If I were to sew the two raw edges on the inside towards the lace it would show through on the front. Perhaps you intended to communicate something else?
Apr 30, 2013, 01.22 PMby carolientje
yes on the front, so it isn't so thick, and it wil feel better,
sorry for my bad english ;)
Apr 30, 2013, 03.28 PMby kathhhhhy
I really like feedback! (And your English is a thousand times better then anything I could do with your native language!!) It always helps make my work better each time! I think I see what you are saying… fold the lace towards the lace… fold the lycra towards the lycra… then top stitch each. I see what you mean. I will do this next time. Thank you!
Apr 30, 2013, 04.22 PMby carolientje
you fold not open, all your lycra has to be under the lace, here is a good blog with lots of information: poetsie.blogspot.com (it's in dutch) and this blog: http://simoneannemone.blogspot.nl/p/mijn-tutorials.html

text: After walking through the lovely park on a crisp December day, I came to the Old Siege House. This building, which dates from the 15th century, still bears the scars of the Siege of Colchester which lasted for 76 days in 1648 during the civil war. Holes from the musket balls can still be seen in the timbers (see the orange markers!?). Click the photos to enlarge.

Avoid walking on campus by yourself late at night.
College students today spend their days balancing academics, internships, jobs, extracurriculars and social lives. On top of all of that, the last thing that students need to worry about is whether or not they will be safe in their university buildings.
One in four colleges say that they are unprepared for a campus shooting and 46% of universities admit to being understaffed, according to a recent study conducted by Campus Safety magazine.
At a memorial service in December for the 26 victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in Newtown, Conn., President Obama vowed action to prevent another school tragedy from occurring.
"I will use whatever power this office holds to engage my fellow citizens — from law enforcement to mental health professionals to parents and educators — in an effort aimed at preventing more tragedies like this," Obama said.
During his State of the Union address last week, Obama urged Congress to vote on proposals that include background checks and tougher restrictions regarding the purchase of guns.
In the meantime, what can you do to stay safe while on campus?
• Make sure to always have your university's campus safety or emergency number on speed dial. Of course, 911 should be a top priority, but if the situation does not seem as urgent, call your campus security instead. The number for your campus transportation system — if your school offers one — should be in your phone as well.
• If your university does have a "safe ride" program, take advantage of it. Never walk alone late at night, no matter how close or far you may be going. It only takes a second for something to happen, so that few-block walk at midnight on a Wednesday home from the library may not seem too dangerous, but it is always better to be over-cautious. Use the buddy system.
• Always scope out where the security guard is headquartered in all of your academic and student-life buildings. If you ever need to contact security, it is best to know immediately where you can find them so that you'll instinctively know where to go and what to do in the case of an emergency. It is also important to know where the safety department is headquartered on campus, and keep an eye out for blue-light call boxes.
• Don't let strangers "piggyback" into your residence hall or any other secured building. And if someone asks about the whereabouts of a certain student, professor or class, don't answer. Never reveal information about your campus to anyone who seems suspiciously inquisitive.
• Pay attention to your surroundings at all times. It may sound clichéd and obvious, but always be aware of who and what is around you. If anything seems slightly off-balance or suspicious, report it immediately either to a nearby security guard, the safety department or 911 if necessary. Use your judgment to determine what you seem apprehensive about and always keep in mind your personal safety.

The world is in the grip of a viral pandemic that causes the dead to reanimate and feast on the flesh of the living, and as three groups of survivors attempt to document their survival on video for posterity, their numbers quickly begin to dwindle. In the early days of the 21st Century, a variant of the Avian Flu known as "Omega strand" began spreading across the globe with unprecedented speed. Though the virus has a nearly 100% mortality rate, it's victims appear to defy death by rising up and staggering through the streets in search of nourishment that only human flesh can provide. Will these desperate survivors make it to safety and live to share their tales of survival with future generations, or will their video document remain an unviewed document of the zombie apocalypse, destined to gather dirt until getting crushed under the rotting feet of the undead masses.

Double boss-fight with the raid fighting zombie Saurfang Jr. and zombie Bolvar.
Then later your party will be moving on and Garrosh/Varian (opposite of your faction) will be riding on a siege tank, crash through a wall a la Kool-Aid man, start fighting the raid and then you kill him. Finally, later on, you find out that Garrosh/Varian (the one of your faction) was killed by Alliance/Horde adventurers and risen by the Lich King and you have to kill Garrosh/Varian.
Ultimately? Garrosh and Varian are both dead, and the issue about Saurfang Jr.'s and Bolvar's bodies not being at the Wrathgate post-cutscene is explained.

Gaius Julius CaesarTalk10
this wiki
Gaius Julius Caesar (13 July 100 BCE – 15 March 44 BCE) was a prominent general of the Roman army and a notable politician. He played a key role in transforming the flagging Roman Republic into the seemingly unstoppable Roman Empire.
Julius Caesar accrued numerous military victories in his role as the general of the Roman army stationed in Cisalpine Gaul, Transalpine Gaul, and Illyricum, three provinces that Caesar administered as governor. He was successful in conquering the Gallic tribes throughout modern-day France, Germany, and Belgium. Caesar was the great nemesis of the Gallic chieftain Vercingetorix, who he defeated in one of his most famous conquests, the Battle of Alesia.
In the midst of a civil war, Caesar declared himself dictator and appointed himself Consul of the Roman Senate. The senators feared Caesar's increasing political and military control of Rome, and Caesar was evidently supported by the Templars, though it is unknown whether or not he was aware of their existence.[1] Consequently, a number of senators decided to eliminate Caesar for the benefit of the Roman people.
Caesar's close friend Marcus Junius Brutus led the conspiracy against Caesar alongside Gaius Cassius Longinus;[2] both were secret members of the Assassins.[3] Brutus and Cassius planned to murder Caesar in the Senate on the Ides of March (March 15). Their attempt was successful, and the conspirators stabbed Caesar 23 times. However, his death seemed to bring only more chaos than before. Civil war continued for another 13 years, and in the end Caesar's adopted heir Octavian (later known as Augustus) became the first emperor of the Roman Empire.
- There is a trophy for the PlayStation 3 in Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood named after Julius Caesar. It is earned by gaining all other trophies, 50 in total. Also the Dagger of Brutus, which was used by Marcus Junius Brutus to kill Caesar, can be obtained.[2]

Jordan Castro, founder of Culinarium, uses scientific methodology to create the simplistic elegance of his concrete accoutrements.
Who knew concrete could be so beautiful?
Founder of Culinarium, Jordan Castro, saw an unfamiliar medium for accoutrements that married form and function.
Like a mad-scientist in a lab, Castro began tinkering with his concrete recipe from his studio in Plum Island, Massachusetts. He sat for hours, as if with a lab coat and bunsen burner, not satisfied until he could create the perfect blend of color, form, texture, and longevity.
Turns out, concrete is a tricky mixture.
Culinarium's carefully crafted line of eco-conscious, concrete accessories speaks to the assiduousness of its creator. The clean lines and industrial textures lure you, despite their grey camouflage. The hand-burnished carnauba wax creates a ceramic-like finish that adds a polish to its rough exterior.
Castro's perfected formula assures a timeless product and a design that seems anything but formulaic.
Now a master of the concrete craft, Castro describes his products with words such as, "cementitious" and "pozzolans," leaving us mere amateurs with mouths agape, as if back in a high-school chemistry class.
While we may not comprehend the composition of Culinarium's creations, the beauty of his products are universally recognizable and a welcome addition to any home.

hi morgan! my dad and I made a tardis bookshelf based off of yours…thought you might want to see it :D
Literally like the coolest shit ever, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SUBMITTING!!!
Wow yours is like, 10000000x better than mine, good job!!
Hiya! That's such a good idea! You know, I would have a completely fandom-themed room if I wasn't moving out in like 3 years :((((((((( But I think you should totally do it! GO FOR IT, it's actually the most self-satisfying thing ever and not a day goes by where I don't appreciate my bookshelf (just to sort of blow my own horn a bit). Actually what happened was I designed it and begged my dad (because he's quite the handyman) and initially he said he would if I made proper building dimensions and plans, but in the end he looked them over and decided it would be too difficult for him but luckily for us our neighbour is a cabinet maker by trade and said he would do it very cheaply with just the cost of materials, so my dad agreed to pay for it as my 18th birthday present. I actually have a how-to post if you want to use that :) http://bowtiesandginghamshirts.tumblr.com/post/27899002347/how-to-make-my-tardis-bookshelf
Ummmm I live in New Zealand so it's highly unlikely that you'll actually have the opportunity to receive it but if you live in New Zealand you'd have to actually get in contact with my neighbour, so if you want to come off anon I can get you in touch? :)
My best friend may not watch Doctor Who
yet but she still knows how to make a fucking incredible christmas gift for a die-hard Whovian
(Source: bowtiesandginghamshirts)
Hey there! Sorry it took a while to reply to this!
The windows are 6.5cm wide and 9cm tall
The rectangle indents are 21cm wide and 30cm tall
The thickness of the wood is 1.5cm
I actually couldn't tell you about the stickers for the signs, basically I google searched 'Police Public Call Box sign' and found the images for both of them, and then went into a place that makes industrial stickers and got them to make it for me.
The dimensions for the top one is 35 x 4.5cm
And the bottom one is 17.5 x 24.5cm
The paint doesn't have a name cus we just got the guy at the hardware store to mix it, but if you go online and search TARDIS paint code or something like that, you should be able to find details that will help you :)
No worries at all, it's my pleasure! Don't hesitate to ask again if I missed anything x
And thus, I have realised that maybe I am willing to fork out 100 bucks on a small piece of fabric
(Source: blackmilkclothing.com)
Actually, I had a lot of trouble regarding paint but essentially I just went into the paint store and got them to mix paint for me, and chose from the shades they said they could make. I decided that seeing it was my very own TARDIS I would make it a brighter blue, because I'm a pretty bubbly bright person. So just choose one that suits your personality, or one you think is closest to the TARDIS and they'll mix it for you at the paint store :)
HI THERE. Ok so I have gotten countless messages both on here and on facebook asking how to make my precious blue box, so I decided that I will make a MASTER POST ON MAKING YOUR OWN TIME MACHINE!
Sorry if the instructions are bad - I'm not actually the one who built this so it will by no means be written in builder lingo.
(Source: bowtiesandginghamshirts)
Of course!
Ok well first, you're going to want to measure it to the space you're putting it in - trust me you are going to need a LOT of space!
mine's a 64 x 64cm square all around. Now that's actually REALLY big once it's open. The height isn't a big deal as long as you don't have a low roof and it doesn't look to skinny if you get what I mean.
Also, the whole thing will be very heavy so it is going to have to literally be attached to the wall it's against. This doesn't mean you'll have to screw holes in your wall - it just means you need to find some form of suspension so that the whole thing doesn't sag. USE OIL PAINT. Don't think you can get away with water based acrylic unless you are a painter by trade. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD USE OIL PAINT. I wasted A LOT of time and money you have no idea. DO NOT keep it outside EVEN WHEN YOU ARE PAINTING IT. The shape/design of it will sag and warp as a result of wind and sun and it will be VERY difficult to fix. Also just a post-production tip; you'll want to use the doors for just dvds or little things, as they're not really designed to take the weight of say, heavy books and stuff. Hmmm I'm really not sure what else I can add but of course if during the process you have any specific questions I'll be MORE than welcome to answer them, or get the builder to answer them :)
I'd love to see photos when it's done if you do end up making one :D
I hope you don't mind that I published this ask on my page, it's just that I have a lot of other followers who are interested and this might help them a bit :)
Hiya there! Your daughter is COOL!
My father helped me design it, and then we gave the plans to my neighbour who built it.
I understand this is slightly problematic but I assure you, if you have a friend who can build well, or you yourself are good at building, then I will be more than welcome to show you my designs and also ask my neighbour any tips he has on making it. I have to warn you, it's quite costly ><
Hehee 18th birthday but thank you regardless :3
I got it from my neighbour, my dad paid for him to make it. If you want one yourself just draw up your own designs and measure it the size you want it - I would recommend making it not very wide as it doubles when you open it - and then find someone to make it! I'm not entirely sure how much it was as it was a birthday present but i know that the paint was about $150 NZD and the dresser would have been over $600 NZD to make - because the builder was my neighbour I'm sure he didn't charge much for labour. Hope that helps!
I drew up the plans and gave em to my dad, who then said "oHhhHh nOOooOOo that's too hard for meeee" but then conveniently remembered that our neighbour bUILDS CUPBOARDS FOR A LIVING and so we gave the plans to him, he tweeked them a bit, and built it in less than a month! Me and my parents painted it and fitted in the noisey bits :3
Happy 18th Birthday to meeee!
Also, thanks to all my friends who bought me books and DVDs to fill this baby up!!
Did I mention it starts playing Dr Who themed songs/noises when you open the left door? Because it does :D

so for my eighteenth i have been getting some great presents but omg lisa made me a tardis notebook and filled it with UGLY AS FUCK photos of me but omg THIS IS SO COOOOL

Conibear trap claims another non-target victim
Authorities are investigating how a family dog in Alaska was ensnared in a bear trap set in a neighborhood full of pets and children, officials said. The 4-year-old dog died hours after being trapped in a Conibear 220 spring-loaded trap. The trap is designed to kill foxes, beavers, and coyotes. The family says they believe one of their neighbors might have set and baited the trap.
Born Free USA united with API, which sees traps as a particularly loathsome form of animal cruelty, tracks incidents of non-target animals caught in traps.

Lake Tahoe's North Shore
Lake Tahoe may look like one blue blob on the map, but insiders know it as a place of multiple moods, faces and personalities. On the one hand, there's the "Nevada (east) side" of the lake, which has gaming; and the "California (west) side," which does not.
From a psychological, practical and marketing standpoint, however, the more significant way to think about Tahoe is not east/west, but north/ south. Picture Lake Tahoe as an oval set on end, draw a horizontal line across it about halfway down, and you get the idea.
The "North Shore" and "South Shore" each encompass pieces of California and Nevada, but their personalities are relatively distinct.
In a nutshell: South Shore's reputation is centered on the highrise casino hotels that provide round-the-clock action at the southern tip of the lake. North Shore is known for smaller, quieter venues tied to outdoor pursuits.
>>Where Meetings and Nature Converge
Kym Dreher, events manager for the Sacramento-based California Landscape Contractors Association, gravitates to the North Shore for just that reason.
She chose the Village at Squaw Valley USA as a venue for the organization's "Family Extravaganza" meeting last summer because of its position as a launching pad for outdoor activities ranging from hiking and ice-skating to whitewater rafting and golf.
"Plus," Dreher notes, "there were kitchens in the rooms, so families didn't have to go out."
The North Shore is home to all but two of the Tahoe Basin's 17 winter snow-sport resorts, which are concentrated on the crest of the Sierra. Two of them, Squaw Valley USA and NorthStar-at-Tahoe, boast extensive on-site lodging and meeting facilities at the base areas and have well developed summer recreation programs.
The region's population nucleus is Truckee, a 19th-century mining town that in recent years has become not just a four-season tourist magnet with great shopping, but a restaurant mecca that has attracted some of the country's top chefs.
Its best known eatery is Moodys Bistro & Lounge, where the eclectic menu features fresh, locally-sourced food and a music venue plays host to nationally touring jazz acts. Celebrities frequently turn up here, among them Paul McCartney, who has sat in more than once on a jam session.
One of the newer dining venues in town is Jax at the Tracks, housed in a landmark 1940s-era streamline moderne diner and offering what owner Bud Haley calls "decadent comfort food with an edge."
"America is a melting pot, so we've taken ideas from many areas and made them our own," Haley says of the eclectic menu that includes such specialties as Kobe meatloaf and crab-cake sliders. With a private dining room that can seat 60 to 70 and entrees that top out at $23, Jax is an appealing venue for groups on a moderate budget.
For innovative style, intimate feel and definite "green appeal," North Shore's standout venue is Cedar House Sport Hotel, a new, 41-room lodge and conference center that takes its cues from European ski hotels, but with a twist.
The innovative architecture fuses recycled cedar, a garden roof and other green building features with an environmentally conscious yet thoroughly user-friendly eco-vibe.
Cedar House has no sit-down restaurant as such, but a hearty breakfast and afternoon antipasto spread are included in the rates. An onsite culinary venue, Stella, functions as a cooking club, demonstration kitchen, breakfast room and dining venue for meeting and event guests.
Last year, owners Jeff and Patty Baird opened a stunning new conference and event center connected to Stella by a pair of patios. It includes an intimate meeting or dining space for 10 to 12 as well as a main meeting room, with full AV capability, that can accommodate 30-80 participants.
"During non-snow season, this facility is totally indoor-outdoor," emphasizes Patty Baird, who, in keeping with the "sport hotel" concept, customizes outdoor activities for meeting and retreat groups as well as regular hotel guests. "Everything here is sized to about 80 people," she says, "although in summer we can host from 125 to 140."
Because of its small size, Cedar House also can offer a complete buy-out of the property to groups holding meetings and events on site.
Also new on the North Shore is the long-awaited The Ritz-Carlton Highlands, Lake Tahoe, a spectacular new luxury resort that opened in December 2010 at the Northstar-at-Tahoe resort.
Perched like a castle on a ski-in, ski-out site at mid-mountain, the six story, 170- room property takes its architectural cues from classic mountain retreats like the Ahwahnee in Yosemite and Timberline Lodge at Mount Hood. The awe-inspiring lobby is centered by a massive, 55-foot-high stone tower that spirals up several levels past five fireplaces with sitting areas.
Earth-tone colors and a tree theme predominate throughout the property, with natural light pouring into hallways and public areas. Event spaces include two ballrooms, two pre-function areas, a boardroom, five flexible meting rooms and a stunning terrace with dramatic fire and water features and panoramic views.
"The interior catering space can service two functions simultaneously," notes Steven Holt, public relations director for the property.
The newest Ritz also features a 17,000-square-foot spa and a signature restaurant, Manzanita, overseen by San Francisco chef Tracy Des Jardins.
While the North Shore has its share of high-end properties, it's also home to more modest but highly popular venues such as Granlibakken Conference Center and Lodge. A favorite with associations, nonprofits, academics, scientific groups and families, Granlibakken got its start as a 1940's ski hill and has evolved to include 190 guest rooms and 16,000 square feet of meeting space in a woodsy, campuslike setting.
"It's a place for working conferences, combined with fun," says general manager Kay Williams, noting that the location is highly convenient to skiing, hiking, state parks and beaches. "We have many groups in winter who meet in the mornings and ski in the afternoons."
Accommodations at Granlibakken range from standard, motel-like rooms to suites with kitchens and even a separate eight-bedroom, 10-bath building that can be reserved for family reunion and retreat groups. Full breakfast is included in the rates.
"We have a 75 percent return rate," Williams said. "That speaks for itself."

#SacKings taking their time deciding whether to pick up Jimmer Fredette's 4th year option.
The Kings have until Halloween to decide whether they'll pick up the fourth year option on Fredette's rookie contract. Pete D'Alessandro doesn't anticipate a decision being made before then. "Yeah, I would expect (nothing before the deadline)," the Kings GM told Cowbell Kingdom. "We have until Thursday, so we'll have an internal process and conversation and come to a decision. Obviously, we'll have to do it by then. So I would think probably we'll take our time up until the deadline."

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — An American Eagle pilot was suspended after failing a blood-alcohol test as he prepared to fly on Friday to New York City from Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, authorities said.
American Eagle pilot arrested at Minn. airport
Airport police said officers and a Transportation Security Administration agent smelled alcohol as they passed the pilot waiting to get on an elevator. The pilot was conducting preflight checks at about 6 a.m. when police boarded the aircraft, airport spokesman Patrick Hogan said.
Officers made him take a breath test and arrested him on suspicion of being under the influence of alcohol, Hogan said. Passengers had not yet boarded the flight to New York's LaGuardia Airport, he said.
The 48-year-old pilot was released several hours later to airline employees. Hogan said airport police will wait until blood tests are processed before deciding whether to file charges against him.
Federal rules prohibit pilots from flying within eight hours of drinking alcohol or if they have a blood-alcohol level of 0.04 or higher, half the level allowed for motorists. Police haven't released the pilot's initial test results.
The pilot has been suspended pending an investigation, said Matt Miller, a spokesman for American Airlines, which uses American Eagle to operate shorter connecting flights. Both airlines are owned by AMR Corp.
The company is cooperating with authorities and will conduct an internal investigation, Miller said.
A woman who answered the phone at a North Carolina number listed in the pilot's name referred inquiries to the Air Line Pilots Association, his union. She said he has been a member of the union for 23 years, but declined further comment.
Messages left with union officials were not immediately returned.

Kristin Chenoweth Talks "GCB," The South, Gays And Dolly!
AE: Now, as you know, whenever religion seems to pop up in TV or film or anything, some people tend to get their feathers riled up. Do you think GCB is going to rile some feathers?
KC: Oh, yeah! It would be impossible not to because there's going to be a group of Christians that will maybe be offended but as a Christian myself, I would never do anything that made fun of my religion, or Jesus, or the Lord, or any of that. I wouldn't do it. I wouldn't be a part of it.
There's a difference, though, in having fun with and making fun of. I want to show the world I'm having fun with it, and if anything, there's a sense of hope. If anything, these women are challenged by each other, but at the end of the day you probably know they have each other's backs. So, it's really about that.
AE: Talk to me about working with [her on-screen husband] David James Elliot, who is a tall drink of water if you could ever have one.
KC: Oh! I'm such a lucky girl. I'm such a lucky girl. Carlene and Ripp have a very healthy sex life and let's just say that those days for me are very fun. He's hot, he's funny…and the world is going to get to see him be comedic and that's what I'm most excited about. He's such an amazing actor and we've seen him play this one character for so many years [on CBS's long-running Jag], and now we're going to see him play something totally different.
AE: GCB is essentially a comedy, but do we get some kind of weightier subjects, or weightier messages throughout the show?
KC: I think they're subliminal. I mean, it is a comedy. It's all out, balls to the walls, comedy, and as the show goes on you'll see that and I don't know of the last hour-long comedy…I don't know. But, yeah, I think the undertone is there, oh look she's going to do the right thing, or, oh, no, there she goes, it's off the rail. You know, I would not say that it's not deep, I think that the subjects that we'll be they're pretty deep, but it's all in how these girls act and react and that's what makes it just so funny.
AE: Now when you did your TCA panel last month, I asked a question about the gay husbands on the show, or at least husband, and you said 'There's one in every church.'
KC: I'm so sorry, I know I shouldn't have said it, but it's true!
AE: Well, my question is, how true is that?
KC: You know when you go to church and you go 'He's not gay! He's married!' But what I love about it, yes, it's in church, but it's also … there's many producers that are gay and are married. There's people of business who are gay and they're married. It's in every walk of life and it does make it funnier that it's in church. I used to say as a little kid, 'Mommy, why is so-and-so married? He's gay!' She's like, 'Shhhhh, shhhhh!'
Carlene is often in cahoots with Cricket (Miriam Shor) and Heather (Marisol Nichols).
AE: You have come to bat for gay rights many times and I know it's a big conflict for a lot of people and some people find an even ground and they can have their faith and be gay, but other people can't see the two things together. Can they ever get along?
KC: Oh, you know honey, I hope that … you know, one of my purposes in life is just to say, 'I'm a Christian, but I want people who love each other to be together, without conflict.' Not everybody sees it like me, which is why not every gay person will feel comfortable. Some people feel that they must make a choice, which is why you see a guy in church, married with his wife or the guy who owns the oil company with his wife, the movie producer, all the people that make that choice for themselves. Again, I don't judge it. People have to do what's right for them. They have to take their journey. But I look forward to a day when each of us can live how we are and without shame and if you happen to be Jewish, you can be Jewish and you can be gay. If you happen to be Christian, you can celebrate Christmas and talk about Jesus and be gay.
I guess I always go back to, what would Jesus do? And that always makes people laugh because it's so Pollyanna, and I do believe I had the bracelet when I was 13. But what would he do? I don't think he'd be doing what a lot of people in my religion, or my faith, are doing or judging. He was doing the opposite when he walked this earth, whether you view him as the Messiah or not, he was a good man, and preached to us.
So I think that it's that I'm so over the … that it's not a law yet. It's like 'hurry up already,' and I just pray that it changes. I want people to be free and be how they are. So many people kill themselves because they're not going to fit in and not be okay and they slowly kill themselves with either drugs or they just kill themselves because they can't live as a gay person and be a Christian, or be Jewish, or be whatever. There are more suicides by that than by anything. Or they're bullied for being effeminate or whatever. It kills me, it breaks my heart, and when somebody is picked on that way, I won't have it, if I see it. If somebody is being put down for that, I won't have it.
AE: This is a loaded question but what else do you have going on? You always have a lot.
KC: [laughs] You know me! I don't sleep. I'm going on tour in May and June. I had a record [Some Lessons Learned] come out in October, while I was shooting this show, which was hard. I was trying to promote and work but I'm going to go on tour all over the US, Australia and London, eventually, but you know, I'm trying to make those dates when it's a little bit warmer. Yeah, I'm going to go on tour and I'm excited about it because I've never really committed to a full-on tour, I've done concert work everywhere, but I've never done like, never like, banged it out, like one after another.
AE: Dolly Parton has mentioned your name, if she were going to ever get her story up on stage. Is that something you would like to do?
KC: Is the Pope Catholic? Yes, I would be an idiot not to want to play her. My message back to her … well, she actually knows how I feel about her … that's something that I think I could do, and I think that I understand her very well. And I've grown up watching her, so, yeah, I would love to play her.
GCB premieres Sunday, March 4 at 10/9c on ABC. For details on Kristin's upcoming tour, visit her website.

Last year, Lionel Richie made a major comeback with his album Tuskegee . This year, he's still on roll: this summer, he'll perform for tens of thousands of fans in London's famed Hyde Park. But the music legend says the thing that convinced he'd become cool again was that Bruno Mars , of all people, asked him for advice.
Speaking to the British paper The Daily Star , Lionel says, "The new generation are discovering that guys like me can do melodies. Bruno Mars is a killer for melodies and lyrics, and he came to my show. He asked me afterwards: 'Can you tell me how you do it?,' and I said, 'Don't worry, you're doing just fine.'"
Lionel says that "these new guys," like Bruno, "are hungry for longevity," of the type that he himself has. But he admits that when he was creating his classic hits in the '70s and '80s, he didn't know they would last as long as they have.
"The words of 'Three Times A Lady' apply in 2013 just as they did in 1978, but at the time disco was happening and I was worried about being a laughing stock," he recalls about writing that smash hit.

Doctor Who: Peter Howell's 1980 arrangement
The Doctor Who theme was altered relatively little, apart from some edits for length and timing and a stereo rearrangement, until 1980, when John Nathan-Turner asked Peter Howell to arrange a new version. The theme tune to one of the BBC's most popular shows was considered something of a sacred cow, and messing with it was not a task to be undertaken lightly. Howell was wise enough to not alter the key elements of the theme out of all recognition. He picked up the forward momentum of the bassline and rendered it on a Yamaha CS-80, and used a vocoder and an ARP Odyssey Mark III to create the electric-guitar-like sound for the main melody.
In fact, I believed for years that parts of the melody had been rendered on an electric guitar, and it was only when I saw the DVD bonus documentary "Synthesizing Starfields" that I finally got set straight. I've announced my loyalty to the original 1963 version many times, and will continue to do so, but the fact is that out of all the rearrangements the theme has undergone over the years, the 1980 Howell version is definitely a very solid and respectable second place in my mind. I'm not sure that it ages quite as well, because there's a slick, shimmery quality to the synth sounds that feels particularly 1980s (especially the thunderclap at the end). Of course, that kind of sound has become quite popular again of late, so to many listeners, that's more of a feature than a bug. What Howell really gets is the power of that bassline, and also the swirling atmospheric details that strike the right balance between familiarity and spookiness that the Doctor Who theme requires.

Albany-- A local modeling agency is putting aside the fashion for a fundraiser.
When Yaz Photography and Modeling Agency found out that a local teen was in need they quickly stepped in. 17-year-old Fred Kinsey was diagnosed with lupus about a year and a half ago and undergoes dialysis three times a week.
It's a tough disease that brings huge medical bills. Volunteers are washing cars and collecting money to help offset those costs.
"We want to help lift his spirit. We want to tell him that hey it's going to be a brighter day. There is a brighter day," says organizer Yaz Johnson.
"He's a well deserving young man and it's sad that he has the disease and he's fighting it but we're helping him out in some little way," says model Lillian Robinson.
Fred is unable to go to school or participate in usual teenager activities because of the disease. The modeling agency tries to do several things throughout the community on a regular basis.
If you'd like to contribute, you may send your donations to:

A top-secret Pentagon report to assess the damage to national security from the leak of classified National Security Agency documents by Edward Snowden concluded that "the scope of the compromised knowledge related to US intelligence capabilities is staggering". No evidence has surfaced to support persistent claims from pundits and lawmakers that Snowden has provided any of the NSA documents he obtained to a "foreign adversary"."

Requiem for Edward Snowden - Audio Visual Tests Part 1 from matt collings on Vimeo.
A Glimpse into the piece so far…some experiments with some early parts of the score with visual processing by Jules Rawlinson. Clarinet by Pete Furniss.
'Requiem for Edward Snowden' is a large scale live audiovisual performance piece. The piece focuses on a number of themes which are extremely relevant to our lives in the 21st century, based around the actions and decisions of whistleblower Edward Snowden; loss of faith and security, the hacking of digital media, invasion of privacy and personal sacrifice.
The documents released by Snowden reveal that we live in a world in which we are totally reliant not just on methods of communication, but on daily routines in which our privacy is completely compromised. The piece explores the consequences of this situation through a combination of electronic sound, acoustic instrumentation and live visuals. The gestures and performance from two live electronics performers, a clarinetist and string section are analysed and interact with real-time visual work by Jules Rawlinson (http://www.pixelmechanics.com/), exploring the piece's central themes at sonic and visual levels.
The project is supported by Creative Scotland and New Media Scotland
This blog documents the development of the project.


text: Wallet designs seem to have undergone a radical change from our past simple leather bifold and trifold designs. With all of this changing going on, how do you set yourself apart from the crowd? The Liquid wallet hopes to do so with functionality. The Liquid is a current Kickstarter project by for a multi functional card type wallet that incorporates card and cash storage with key carrying. Made out of 6061 grade aluminum that is hard anodized, the Liquid is 3.70 inches long, 2.34 inches wide, .55 inches high and weighs 3.24 ounces empty. The Liquid has the ability to carry two standard size keys, an elastic strap to keep your cards and cash in place, comes in two colors (black or military green), and its casing shields your cards and personnel information from RFID scanning devices. The Liquid has several pledge options, a pledge of approximately $36.79 (41 AUD) will get you one Liquid in your choice of colors (this does not include shipping outside Australia). Funding for this project runs until March 25, 2014 and if successful is slated to ship in the July 2014 time frame.
