Hmmm.. What about something like SpellScaler? It's the only mod I use like this, so far. It lets me (level 60) cast Mark of the Wild on a level 37 friend without having to open my spellbook or keep 5 different versions of it in a hotbar. A friend wrote a script for his druid to do the same. I wonder if they will break that functionality as well?

The Hit-And-Run vocalist who's now in London together with his fam left Ghana two years back to pursue his wishes as well as continue to focus on his next record. He won the Audio for Advancement award in the 2011 version of the Ghana Music Awards.
He pronounced his new effort on Facebook Monday revealing he was happy to be an accountant in London.
The achievement was confirmed by him in a exclusive interview with Hitz Amusement News. He explained, "I am quite joyful, I'm really fulfilled and worked up about this.
First He Got Educated
It's a high level qualification which entitles those people who have finished the tests and got useful supervised work experience to contact themselves financial controllers. The AAT is situated in London but there are divisions throughout the United Kingdom and the remaining world.
Reggie yet said being a comptroller doesn't suggest he will perhaps not do audio and that, he was nevertheless recording because when he was leaving Ghana, he informed his supporters and buddies that he desired to consider his songs to another degree; breaking through onto the international marketplace.
He revealed that he was operating with some UK producers on his tunes to realize that target.
Reggie stated he was operating around the clock to produce an album that may make Ghanaians along with the complete of Africa happy.
He'll be visiting Ghana after this year together with his household to release his record.

Ten things you never knew about Denmark
Action Images
1) Denmark's national flag - the Dannebrog - is the oldest national flag still in use in the world.
2) Denmark is incredibly flat - its highest point, Møllehøj, is only 170m above sea level.
3) Denmark is well known for being the home of Lego - the interlocking building blocks for children invented in the 1940s (and keeping exactly the same design since 1958) that became an international phenomenon, with dedicated Lego stores, video game spin-offs and five theme parks around the world.
4) Other, non-Lego things invented in Denmark include the drum motor and the "LifeStraw" water purification system.
5) One thing that wasn't invented in Denmark - the pretend-Danish ice cream Häagen-Dazs. In case you've ever wondered what the name means, the answer is... nothing. It's just a combination of roughly Danish-sounding nonsense words (which don't actually conform to any Scandinavian spelling norms) made up by its Polish-American creator Reuben Mattus to give the ice cream an exotic "Danish" feel. Apparently, he just sat at home saying nonsense words until he found a combination he liked.
6) Denmark is largely made up of a large number of islands, known as the Danish Archipelago - there are over 400 islands in total (depending on which definition of "island" is used), around 70 of which are inhabited.
7) Australia's famous Sydney Opera House was designed by a Danish architect, Jørn Utzon.
8) The Danish royal family is the oldest in Europe - they can trace their lineage back to the first true King of Denmark, the Viking king Gorm the Old, who ruled from 936 AD.
9) Denmark is regularly ranked as one of the happiest countries in the world. It's among the lowest levels of inequality, among the highest income per head, and among the lowest levels of corruption. Well done Denmark.
10) Denmark holds the distinction of being the only country to win the European Championships despite having failed to even qualify for the tournament. Denmark triumphed in Euro 1992 despite having been beaten to qualification by Yugoslavia - they only ended up at the tournament when Yugoslavia were banned due to the Yugoslav wars.

Vermont Country Store names new CEOBy Bruce Edwards
Staff Writer | February 13,2013WESTON — The Vermont Country Store has promoted Chris Vickers to president and chief executive officer, the Orton family announced Wednesday
A veteran of the retail industry, Vickers joined the company in 2010 as chief merchandising and marketing officer. Previously, Vickers served as vice president of merchandising at L.L. Bean. He holds a masters in business administration from Harvard Business School and a bachelor's degree from Colby College.
"Chris has done an outstanding job bringing new expertise and focus to our business, particularly in Merchandising and Marketing," said Eliot Orton, chairman of the board of The Vermont Country Store. "He is a natural leader and personally embodies the core values of practicality, frugality, family and community that permeate everything we stand for."
Vickers said he was honored to be a part of the Orton family business, "with strong values, that creates a tremendous emotional connection with its customers."
He said last year was one of the best years in the company's history with the company "well positioned for future growth."
Founded in 1946, The Vermont Country Store is nationally known as The Purveyors of The Practical and Hard to Find, serving customers nationwide through its catalogs, online, and at two retail stores in Weston and Rockingham.MORE IN This Just InBENNINGTON In August 2013, police seized 13 pit bulls from an East Road man whose dogs were...

Hi - I am a 22 year old male. I am 5ft 7in and weigh 240lbs. Is it ok that I only consume 1200 cal a day and I walk 30 mins a day? I have lost about 17 lbs in a month? I dont feel hungary but I have noticed some dizziness when I stand up.
keith - cedar rapids
Thanks for contacting me regarding this weight loss question. Although this 1,200 calorie diet may seem like a great way to lose weight, this low calorie level may be difficult to sustain, and as you mentioned, may lead to undesired side effects, such as dizziness.
In looking at the USDA website, www.choosemyplate.gov., the recommendation for someone your age, height and weight is 2600 calories per day.
Since you have been on a lower calorie diet already, it may be more realistic to follow ~2000 calorie diet. Although it is also difficult to count calories, the new food guidance system from the USDA does focus on portion control and filling half of your plate with fruits and vegetables at lunch and dinner meal. If you need an idea for a 2000 calorie meal plan, click on this link http://www.choosemyplate.gov/tipsresources/menus.html
Additionally, many individuals find it helpful to keep a food diary and write down all the foods and fluids you eat and drink on a daily basis. This helps to keep you accountable as to what you have really eaten, and helps to spot negative behaviors, such as snacking after dinner while watching T.V., etc.
In addition, be sure to increase activity, which can be something like walking 30 minutes per day, or even for 2 15-minute increments per day, whichever works best in your schedule .
Best of luck to you in your weight loss endeavor!
If you have any questions or problems always see your healthcare provider.

3 Haute Hawaiian styling
Whether you want to mix it with the masters on the big breaks of Waikiki or cruise Maui's crests on a long board, Hawaii is heaven for wave-hunters. Breezing onto the local hotel scene in 2011, the Modern Honolulu brings boutique lodgings to a city better known for its big-and-brash resorts. With the surfboard-lined feature wall behind reception, and the ukuleles and sarongs in the guest rooms, the design blends an all-white colour palette with so-quirky-it-works local touches. Four bars, a nightclub, and a Japanese restaurant from Iron Chef Morimoto make this one of the hottest tickets in town.

My family loved these! The only changes I made was to use my 9 grain bread instead of white for the bread crumbs. This dish would be great to serve, using the smaller cremini mushrooms, as an appetizer for a party. Don't let the amount of onion scare you--just use SWEET onions. Might try to add a tad of fresh minced garlic to the bread crumb mixture next time.
Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms with Olives and Caramelized Onions
bariolio Posted: 05/06/09
rstarrlemaitre Posted: 04/10/11
Really tasty! Using fresh breadcrumbs definitely makes the crumb topping special, and I loved the earthy flavor of the portobello. I would decrease the amount of onion only slightly, otherwise they overpower the kalamata olives, and I recommend using 6-inch portobellos, or you won't fit in all that filling!
AKinAK Posted: 02/07/13
I love grilled or broiled portobellos, but this recipe was only mediocre and a lot of work. I used the food processor to speed things up, but note the one hour total cooking time. Definitely not a meal by itself.

Way too many breadcrumbs. Sorry, won't be making this one again.

8 Dogs That Act Exactly Like Children
If you really want to practice being a parent, one dog won't do the trick.
Momlogic's Momstrosity: It's almost impossible to explain to someone without children the emotional roller coaster ride that is motherhood. The highs, the lows, the smells. So when perky couples inform me they're practicing for parenthood by getting a dog, I have to laugh. For a long time. In their face. Granted, it doesn't make me too popular at parties.
What parents in training need to know is that one "canine kid" doesn't begin to equal the myriad experiences one bona fide human child brings to the table. Unless you get ALL of these dogs at once. Each of the dogs selected simulate one of the many "joys" of parenthood.
8 Dogs That Act Exactly Like Children
Crying and Whining
1) Crying and Whining: Chihuahua
To simulate the crying and whining of a baby, the yapping, yelping, and growling Chihuahua is a must-have. These demanding little canines, just like infants, believe the world revolves around them and get pissed off if you even attempt to engage in any activity that doesn't include them, like showering, reading a book, breathing, eating, or thinking. Just like a baby!
Potty Training
2) Potty Training: Irish Wolfhound
One of the most exasperating parts of parenthood is the proliferation of poo. A human child will need to have diapers, pull-ups, underwear, and bottoms wiped for at least three years. That's why, if you're going to "play parent," you've got to get yourself an Irish Wolfhound. According to trainpetdog.com, wolfhounds "keep confusing their potty places because they think that it hardly matters where they potty." Welcome to "parenthood"!
Drooling and Spit-Up: Bulldog
3) Drooling and Spit-Up: Bulldog
From snot to drool to spit-up, when you have a kid, ALL their bodily fluids become yours for the wiping. Enter the bulldog, a dog that will drench you and your house with endless streams of drool and slobber for a lifetime.
Hyperactivity: Jack Russell Terrier
4) Hyperactivity: Jack Russell Terrier
To mimic a kid's bounding energy, a Jack Russell terrier fits the bill. These dogs, says dogster.com, are "Freakishly athletic and bursting with energy." Exactly like an overtired toddler hopped up on multiple high-fructose juice boxes.
Discipline: Pit Bull
5)Discipline: Pit Bull
If there are no bad dogs, does it also mean there are no bad toddlers? Not quite. That's why a pit bull is the perfect stand-in for the toddler mentality of "my way or the highway." Preferably, get a pit that's hard of hearing to really simulate the way kids can "tune out" their parents. Good luck.
Trashing Your Home: Great Dane
6) Trashing Your Home: Great Dane
You know how they say "When you have kids, everything changes"? They're talking about your home. To recreate the "redecorating" a small child does on your nicely decorated abode, the Great Dane is a terrific substitute. Voted the most destructive dog in a U.K. survey, Marmaduke will stain carpets, rip sofas, and chew cables, as will a real kid.
Grooming: Poodle
7) Grooming: Poodle
To maintain your kid, you have to be vigilant with grooming, bathing, trimming nails, and brushing hair and teeth. That's why the high-maintenance poodle will simulate the oodles of time you'll need to keep your kid clean and clipped. (If your poodle-baby is a girl, be prepared for battles with the hairbrush and plenty of fussy bows just like you'll have with the real thing.)
Toys on the Floor: Siberian Husky
8) Toys on the Floor: Siberian Husky
Kids leave their stuff everywhere. When you have kids, your entire house will be covered in toys. Everywhere you look, you'll find tiny LEGOs, puzzle pieces, and trains, planes and automobiles. Constant evidence that tiny people live in your house. The Siberian husky also leaves a bunch of stuff lying around: hair. These dogs shed a LOT. You'll find hair and fur all over your clothing, upholstery, carpeting, under your furniture, on your countertops -- even in your food.
One dog that covers most of this list? BOXER! I love my three Boxers almost more than my hoomin baby (read teenager).
I do not agree that pitbulls are hard to discipline. My half-pit is the most loyal and well-behaved dog I've ever had. And the photo you used is awful. Only mistreated dogs become as aggressive as the dog in that photo. Please stop the pitbull hating.
OMG! This is too funny, I have a chihuahua named cheeka and i have never heard anything more true! She ALWAYS needs love. If she sits on my lap and i stop patting her she will claw at my hands until i pat her again. And the barking, her high-pitched bark and running in a circle at 100 mph resembles a newborn very much! BUT the love i have for her could also be considered to one for a baby!
This website is just full of mean, teeth-baring pit bulls. I haven't seen one NORMAL picture of one. This website is glib and has no reason to be writing such nonsense!

Factors to Consider When Selecting a Los Angeles Divorce Attorney
In a divorce proceeding, the Los Angeles divorce attorney you hire can make a big difference in how things turns out for you. When choosing a lawyer to represent you, you need to consider the type of experience the lawyer has and the kind of advice and guidance he provides. This article will explain the factors you should consider when trying to decide which lawyer is right for you.
Finding a Los Angeles Divorce Attorney
You need to go through a few steps before you are in a position to decide on a lawyer. First, you need to get the name of one or more L.A. divorce lawyers. You can start by asking friends, family and other people you know for a recommendation. Remember, though, that your situation may be different from other people's. The approach that you and your spouse or domestic partner decide on will also make a difference. For example, a summary dissolution or uncontested divorce may call for a different set of skills from your lawyer than one where you and your ex are having trouble agreeing on how to divide up assets or share child custody.
You can also use a site like Attorneys.com to find the name or names of attorneys throughout the L.A. area, whether you live in Orange County, Beverly Hills or Long Beach. By filling out the form on this page or by calling 1-877-913-7222 and providing a few simple pieces of information, you will receive the name and contact information for a lawyer who handles Los Angeles divorces. You can contact the lawyer directly, or the attorney will reach out to you within two business days.
Then, you can schedule an initial consultation with the attorney. This meeting is your opportunity to ask questions, listen to what the lawyer says and decide whether or not this is the person to hire.
Things to Think About
There are a lot of things to consider when you hire an attorney. Your ability to trust your lawyer is extremely important. You need an attorney you feel comfortable with and who supports your goals in your divorce case. But you also need an attorney whose judgment you trust—in a divorce proceeding, it's hard to remain calm and unemotional, so you need to find an someone who can help you make smart long-term decisions, even when you are angry or upset.
You also need to think about the cost of divorce in Los Angeles. You need to find a lawyer who charges reasonable and fair fees. Lawyers have different billing techniques, and your Los Angeles divorce lawyer may charge by the hour or on a flat-fee basis. Rates can vary quite a bit from one attorney to the next.
Typically, lawyers will charge a flat fee when a case is uncomplicated and they can predict the amount of work that will be involved. If you and your spouse can get along and agree on most of the issues, your attorney may offer a flat-fee cost. But if the two of you disagree or your spouse or partner is being unreasonable, your attorney will probably charge by the hour.
Either way, be sure ask Los Angeles divorce attorneys about their specific rates and any extra costs, such as court filing fees.
Experience matters, too. In a community property state like California, figuring out property and assets can be very different from what it is in other states. So you need a lawyer with experience in California divorce law.
Choosing the Right Lawyer
After the initial consultation, take some time to think about how you felt about the lawyer and the information he gave you. Do you trust the lawyer? Does he have the right experience? Are his fees fair? If you are still not sure, ask his references about their experiences, and then follow up directly with the attorney if you have any more questions.
Once you have considered all these factors, you can choose the Los Angeles divorce attorney who is the best one to represent you.

The 1973 Chilean coup d'état was a watershed event of the Cold War and the history of Chile. On Tuesday 11 September 1973, the democratically elected President Salvador Allende was overthrown in a coup d'état organised by the Chilean military and endorsed by the United States. A military junta led by General Augusto Pinochet took control of the government, composed of the heads of the Air Force, Navy, Carabineros (police force) and the Army. Pinochet later assumed power and ended Allende's democratically elected Popular Unity government.
During the air raids and ground attacks that preceded the coup, Allende gave his last speech, in which he vowed to stay in the presidential palace, where he died. After the coup, Pinochet established a military dictatorship that ruled Chile until 1990; it was marked by severe human rights violations. A weak insurgent movement against the Pinochet government was maintained inside Chile by elements sympathetic to the former Allende government.

Hi, I'm Jaden, a professional recipe developer, food columnist and food photographer specializing in fast, fresh and easy recipes for the home cook. Most of my recipes are modern Asian! About meFast, fresh & easy recipes for the home cook.
Friday, December 14, 2007
Earlier this year, I wanted to change up SteamyKitchen.com's site design and structure. The current design has served me quite well, but I wanted more features, and let's face it, given the choice of "same" or "more bling" you know which I'd rear end in a heartbeat.
But the only technical thing I'm good at is the three-finger-salute, Ctrl-Alt-Del. The move is used so often that it's implanted in my autonomic nervous system, etching a fat path with sparkly pink synapses. Just this past weekend at the grocery store, I had an altercation with an old, crinkly bastard who apparently forgot to pluck his golf club out of his ass before he stepped off the green and yelled at me for my grocery cart that came within 2 millimeters from his precious blue Volvo convertible. After walking away and cussing under my breath, my fingers automatically went into position and from a distance, I held my hands up and Ctrl-Alt-Deleted his 2-inch forehead. It's a powerful gesture, one that stops Windows dead in its tracks and also gives me the satisfaction of cursing him from afar. So what if I look dumb, I don't care.
For the site, customizing fonts and colors were a piece of cake, but changing column widths was like trying to move the Statue of Liberty with a salad fork and cheese grater.
Do you know what HTML stands for? Hyperactive Total Mental Leakage. Oh yeah. And cascading style sheets, or CSS? That's the sound of my precious brain cells seeping out of my head during moments of spontaneous HTML.
This is worse than learning a new language! At least if I'm flubbing in Spanish, I can supplement with hand gestures. In code-speak, if you're missing one little tiny ":" the site just shrugs its shoulders, says,
DOES NOT COMPUTE, and heads back to the server for a nap.
Finally, last Friday, after countless hours of coding, testing, tweaking and head banging, I was ready to launch. I announced aloud to my friends that I was going to click this little button, chimes will sound and magically, all the electronic impulses in the universe would align and "poof!" Steamy Kitchen would unveil its new facelift. I held my breath, shut one eye and clicked.
"Dammit! I thought you loved me. Say something! Tell me what you want. Our relationship is so much stronger than a colon." But still, no response. I should have included a line item for "therapist" in my design budget.
I was so sick of the computer, that for dinner options, I reached for a cookbook instead of searching through my bookmarks. This recipe for Roasted Garlic Killer Shrimp is one that I adapted from a cookbook called,
Crab cookbook co-authored by my friend, Jennifer Jeffrey. The other author, you ask? None other than the famous Andrea Froncillo, exec chef of The Stinking Rose, a garlic restaurant in San Francisco and Beverly Hills. I modified the recipe by using shrimp instead of crab because I live in a far, far away place that even though surrounded three sides by really deep water, I have absolutely no access to fresh, live crab. Sigh.
This is a "soft" launch of the new site design. What does "soft" mean? It means It means I'm still tweaking the site design and structure. So if you happen to come along knocking on my blog and see me in my underwear painting, hammering and leaking brain cells, you'll understand. It also means if I f' up, leave a ":" out of the code and break the site, you'll also understand, right?!
I can broked new dezign…
Garlic Roasted Killer Crab Shrimp
Ingredients:1 lb shell-on shrimp
½ cup white wine
½ stick of butter
3 tbl minced shallots
2 tbl fresh rosemary
1 tsp fresh thyme
4 garlic cloves, minced
3 tbl olive oil
1 tbl sea salt
crushed red pepper
chopped parsley
loaf of crusty french bread
Preheat oven to 375F.
If you are using extra large shrimp, you can butterfly them, keeping them in the shell, like I did in the photo. Otherwise, leave them whole in the shell. Wash and carefully cut through shell to devein the shrimp while leaving the shell on. The easiest way to do this is with sharp, pointy kitchen shears. Just cut through the back. Heat olive oil and butter in large oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. When hot but not smoking, add the shallots, garlic, rosemary, red pepper and thyme. Fry until fragrant. Add wine, salt, pepper. When boiling, turn heat off and toss in the shrimp. Send it off to the oven for 7-10 minutes, or until shrimp is cooked through. Timing will depend on the size of shrimp, check after 7 minutes. Garnish with sea salt, chopped parsley. Serve with bread to soak up the juices.
Jennifer and Andrea have generously given me 5 signed cookbooks to give away! To enter, just comment below and mention your favorite way to have crab. That's it! So simple. I'll draw 5 names on Tuesday December 18th at 11pm.
Good luck!
________a little note from my sponsor________
Are you hosting a dinner party? The table setting is one of the most important elements to set the tone of the party. Impress your guests with beautiful dinnerware, flatware and wine glasses. Before the guests arrive, be sure to use quality cutlery and cookware to make cooking easier and faster. Sharpening knives as they begin to dull will keep your knives like new.
____end of the little note from my sponsor______
Wow.. My favorite way to have crab. That's a tuffy for me. Living in Coastal Louisiana I have access to the freshest blue crab around. Literally across the street in "da bayou" just go pull up the trap and "fish em out". Well if I have to pick one.. I would have to say Crab Oou Ya Ya (its a Cajun thing). Take 6 Female crabs with eggs. (if you turn the crabs over you can see the orange eggs through the shells make sure they fat). Clean the crabs, cutting in half with kitchen shears. Taking the eggs and placing them to the side for later. Take a heavy pot (Magnalite personal choice). Couple rounds of oil, two spoons of flour for a light peanut butter roux. Add sliced onions (roux will stop cooking at this point). Saute onions until transparant. Add cleaned crabs give a good stir cook for 2 minutes then add 2 cloves minced garlic. Another good stir then add eggs and 2 cups chicken broth. Simmer until desired consistency. We like a good gravy. Serve over white rice. And of course season to taste with Tony Chachere's.. And dig in. Don't be shy ya gotta use ya hands Ma Cherie. We call it Ooh Ya Ya cuz when ya done ya pushing ya chair back from the table so full all you can say is Ooh Ya Ya.
Here at first coast, we are blessed to have abundant blue crabs. I like to eat the way they are, just steam it up and dip them in lime juice with salt and pepper. Or, stir fry them on hihg heat in garlic sauce and ginger. I and some of my friends could just eat them all day long with a cold beer on the beach to watch the sun goes down.
This one is easy to answer without a doubt my favorite way to eat crab is stuffed in the shell with stuffing like a crab cake but in the shell. The second best way is a crab cake. Simply DELICIOUS.
Don't know about the crab/shrimp dish but I sure can relate to your frustration about setting up a website! Control,Alt,Delete suits me fine.
Thank you for the auspicious writeup. It if truth be told was once a entertainment account it.
Look complex to far delivered agreeable from you! However, how
can we be in contact?

If you're willing to accept that being an orc, or a gnome, or a tauren, or a night elf is a valid part of the universe and that we're all wielding magic or riding flying creatures, why is it so hard to accept the other aspects of World of Warcraft? Those are just as unfeasible in our world as the things that you've pointed out. We're constrained by the mechanics of the game, but we don't need to find real life justification or explaination for everything. Go with the flow! Accept things the way they are!

First impressions last. It is a natural instinct of people to turn their heads at someone who walks into a room. The first thing that they will gaze upon would be your physical looks. So either they'll notice you or ignore you. That moment is your only chance to capture their attention and interest so you have to look your best. The better you look, the better chance youll catch someones eye. And it is important that you plan how you would like people to see you and undergo a makeover, not to look like somebody else, but to unleash and further enhance your real beauty inside out. And your hair is one of the major considerations that you will really need to work on for that total makeover challenge.
So why the big fuzz with the hair?
Well, for one thing, your hair is the crowning glory of your physical self. The hairstyle that you have not only reflects your mood but your personality as well. So your hairstyle does matter a lot and so it should be included among those that you give attention to. Now a lot of people become too conscious with their hairstyle to the point that it restricts them from being their selves. Your hairstyle should be attuned with your movement, your poise and the occasion that you are in to. You should feel comfortable and feel your best with the hairstyle you are wearing. This way, you can definitely project and carry yourself around people. Your hairstyle creates that impact to your appearance so this really needs a careful consideration.
Choosing the best hairstyle is not easy, but it is not hard either. When you choose the right kind of hairstyle, make sure that you follow your own instincts, your own preferences, and your own heart. You know how you would like to look like. Yes it is helpful to ask opinions from others but if you are not really comfortable with it, then consider other options. Remember, the hairstyle is about you, not the one who made it or not whose idea was it. Also, you need to be practical as well. Good looks need not to be too expensive, especially if it is a one-time thing. So for your hairstyle, it is normal that you spend some amount for it but make sure that you wont regret it in the end.
So what makes a good hairstyle?
As said before, it should reflect and match your personality. Then you need to make sure that you can project it well. It should also be creative and apart from what is usual. The amount of effort that has been put into the hairstyle matters also because some hairstyles are too exaggerated that it becomes a turn-off to others. A good hairstyle should also be of less-maintenance. Fixing it up especially when you are off to work should not take most of your time and energy or else it will lead to frustrations and may spoil your day. And a good hairstyle makes you feel great each time, wherever you go.
And so we would like to do our part in helping you out as you make your choice for that ideal and best hairstyle you would want to have. This is your one-stop guide to various hairstyles that will match your preference and your personality. Not only that, you will get to see and get ideas from hairstyles of todays most prominent and famous personalities. Furthermore, we also have suggested tips on how to come up with the hairstyle without you really spending much for it, and you will be surprised at how easy these hairstyles are.
So are you ready to set your hair to fashion? So are we.

Found June 17, 2013 on MLB Injury News:
PLAYERS: Mike Carp
TEAMS: Boston Red Sox, Baltimore Orioles
TEAMS: Boston Red Sox, Baltimore Orioles
Boston Red Sox first baseman Mike Carp exited yesterday's loss to the Baltimore Orioles with right hamstring tightness. After the game, manager John Farrell told reporters – including Todd Karpovich of MLB.com – that he considers Carp day to day and hopes to have him available on Tuesday following the team's off-day. "He felt cramping go up first base, but I don't think it's a pull," manager John Farrell said. "Strength testing in the training appeared to be not far off from normal. Hopefully with the day off [Monday], he'll be available on Tuesday. Again, it wasn't a pull. It was more of a cramping situation, probably because of the humidity and the heat over the past couple of days." The injury occurred in the seventh inning after Carp hit a double. He had started the last few games at first base for the Red Sox in Mike Napoli's absence. The Red sox replaced Carp in the lineup with Shane Victorino, while Daniel Nava moved from right field to cover first base. For his part, Carp isn't overly concerned about the injury, as he's hoping it can simply be chalked up to cramping. "Hopefully, it's just a cramp," Carp said. "It's been pretty humid the last couple of days. I don't feel too concerned about it. I have the rest of the night off and tomorrow. Almost two full days until we play again, so I'm pretty confident I'll be back out there Tuesday." Despite limited playing time, Carp has been one of Boston's most productive players. The 26-year-old is second on the team with eight home runs, as he's hit .320/.372/.680 over 113 plate appearances this season. Follow @mlbinjurynews Looking for fantasy baseball advice?

What would you do if you had to raise $44K in 27 days?
WindyLight's crowd funding campaign on kickstarter needs to source some crowd wisdom to achieve it's funding goal in the next 27 days. What would you do if it was your project? http://kck.st/tfGD55

Dec 6 2011: At first, I thought about getting sponsorships who believe in your product, but then I realized that people aren't a fan of first approaches for money. Part of gaining financial support for your project is gaining publicity--I would do what I can to put together an awesome marketing/outreach team. This team can start with a group of friends, then utilize their networks to expand to a larger group. Reach out to college campuses and non-profits for support, then spread the word in every way you can think of. Have a Facebook group that has weekly contests. Have a twitter account with some type of scavenger hunt. People seem to respond to contests fairly well, so that would be a great approach towards spreading the word because it ensures that the initiative gets spread to every contestant's network (with social media, this is fairly easy). Every one is in search of sustainable solutions, so I am confident that your product will be a hit once it is known. As soon as you establish enough activity, approaching companies for sponsorships shouldn't be that difficult because it is now an advertising write-off or a political campaign in support of an innovative sustainable approach. You may even find a developer to sponsor the WindyLights in a business park to serve as the pilot and set an example for future business investments... you'd provide the marketing, and they'd supply the capital costs.

TEAMS: New England Patriots, New York Jets
Braylon Edwards is now on the market after being cut by the New York Jets, but he's likely going to garner significant interest from a number of teams around the league. Although he's a chronic under-achiever in the NFL, he's still good enough to improve many rosters around the league, and frankly, his services probably won't be very expensive. When the Jets brought Edwards back this summer, he seemed like a logical fit. He'd been with the team before, and he should have been miles ahead of the Jets' younger receivers. That last point proved to be inaccurate, and when younger players are nearly as good as or better than older ones, it's easy to guess which player gets cut from the roster. Still, opportunities should be available for Edwards, who is now 30 years old. The New England Patriots are always looking to bring in players they think they can work with (see Tim Tebow), and Edwards would almost certainly improve the Patriots' no-name receiving unit.

Mom of Two Survives 'Closet Diet'
Mom of two Stella Brennan, 31, of Kenosha, Wisc., accepted a Web challenge called "Six Items or Less" (sixitemsorless.com) to wear only six items already found in her closet (not counting shoes, underwear or accessories).
She started her so-called "closet diet" on June 21, and since then, she's worn the same six items: a black blazer and pants from H&M; two button-down shirts, one black and one pink; a pair of Old Navy jeans; and one pink T-shirt.
At the end of 31 days, her husband still had not noticed.
Check out this video about the concept:
Could you -- or would you -- ever try a "closet diet"?
That sounds like me! I can't carry many clothes with my on my bike, so I wear the same things over and over and over… But then again, my husband and kids do the same, I guess none of us notices!
I do it without thinking 5 days I week. I'm in the military and have to wear a uniform every day I'm on duty. Outside of work, I have 2 pairs of jeans I love and a handful of shirts I chose to wear on a regular basis.

Google Financing Puts Solar on Your Rooftop
Okay, my friends in "Heather's-fun-classroom-of-the-universe": click on the title above, and take a second to read this article. First of all, we need to accomodate the notion that Google is a clean energy financer and promoter. Excellent. Second, we need to understand the technologies where they put their money - like this brilliant concept of LEASING solar panels (somebody else does the install and maintenance - YESS!). Just takes a sec, and you will be a little better informed. Google - it's not just for searching anymore.

Many people run into into the newspapers with regards to walk in fuel and also diesel serps prices from time to time. Where's some of our international economic climate proceeding? Once this kind of non-renewable supplies are generally worn out what will everyone suppress to feed on for the children along with grandchildren? Using the chance of the actual environment and in addition global warming up engulfing depends upon today could we have even a upcoming technology? Your queries are generally many and also imagined invoking however miniscule asking isn't going to modify this manifest fact. We possess attained the particular ultimatum stage wherever we're struggling to go back again but sometimes surely choose side department.
The choice need to be regarding relying to the contrary kinds of energy. Wind, h2o, and in addition geothermal systems are usually place confined. Nevertheless the most ample way of energy that planet earth gets derives from the sunshine. The photovoltaic technology that it world can get could electric power the thought a thousand periods a lot more than! It isn't merely a clear origin but additionally a powerful source of power. The solar panels advantages are usually several.
The Enormous Probable From natural sunlight
Technical engineers finished up met while using the significant concern connected with utilizing this kind of ample way of electricity because everyone receive Two hundred 500 intervals the force so that you can electrical power all of your earth computer utilizes in one evening. They created pv cells plus photo voltaic energies built from semiconductor materials to the touch this certain power. Today nanotechnology delivers opened several this type of frontiers with regards to successful price lowering.
Besides producing house electrical energy and on large range foundation, solar energy systems could be included within lights capabilities, heating, ventilating, cooking food and in addition agriculture. We have right right now solar powered vehicles, boats and even aircraft's. Therefore, there are usually several solar energy positive elements!
Clean And Eco-friendly Form Of one's
The world today faces your reveal problem of our planet's atmosphere. Fischer electric power crops throw unsafe radioactive squander. However heading of solar energy won't contaminate our world. It occurs clean and ecological. This is one of the many photovoltaic technology incentives.
Easy To the Pockets
A great deal more solar cell technology incentives necessitate your current buck success. Resistant for the preceding circumstances, building as well as putting within the solar strength setup is starting to become quite simple regarding the wallets. By making use of nanotechnology experts today are usually constructing better plus more affordable kinds of solar strength systems.
The prior decade is still the precise witness to many people people these kinds of downsizing along with cost slicing. Nowadays a normal gentleman can easily purchase a fresh panel which include another electrical factors to be able to solar power energy his house with one time expenditure along with relish the solar technology reasons why you are the years later on!
Solar cell technology Could be the Answer With regards to Global Power Crisis
Planet gets ample quantity of power available as pv radiations very good example that we also can energy the exact solar energy panels upon abnormally cold days along with nights. This is probably the numerous photovoltaic technology positive aspects. This may cause solar energy by far the most popular exchange origin. Other styles of efforts such as geothermal strength wind flow as well as water are usually region enclosed. You'll have the ability to simply utilize these individuals inside this places wherever they come much like geothermal fountains, h2o means, inclines and beach locations, while you'll be able to tap in solar technologies wherever sunlight excels.

TV's Alexander Armstrong has date with Keswick holiday park
Last updated at 20:20, Thursday, 22 March 2012
A family-run holiday park near Keswick has been used as the setting for part of a new ITV comedy drama.
Castlerigg Hall Caravan and Camping Park was used to shoot scenes for the new Thursday night show Love Life.
More than 60 actors and film crew, including top actor/comedian Alexander Armstrong and Andrea Lowe, were at the park in November for about a week of filming.
David Jackson, 47, one of the partners who run the park, said: "It's fantastic that we were part of it and great to meet such famous actors.
"The girls who work for us were excited that Alexander was filming here and were so pleased they got to meet him.
"I think we were chosen because the location manager had caravanned with us before and we'd also written into Cumbria Tourism's media department to be considered as a filming location."
Mr Jackson said he hoped the airtime given to the Lake District scenery would boost the county's tourist trade in time for the new holiday season.
He said: "It is a great opportunity for the Lake District and Cumbria to get on the map.
"The story is, of course, fiction but there's no hiding the reality of the beautiful Lakeland landscape."
Mr Armstrong is the presenter of BBC 1 quiz show Pointless and Dave's Big Ask, as well as being half of comedy duo Armstrong and Miller. He also plays a character in the TV adverts for Direct Line insurance and is a regular panellist on shows including Have I Got News For You and QI.
Miss Lowe is best known for playing sidekick DS Annie Cabbot, in ITV series DCI Banks, starring Stephen Tompkinson.
Love Life, written by Lark Rise To Candleford's Bill Gallagher, focuses on what happens after Joe (Downton Abbey's Rob James-Collier) goes travelling, only to discover when he returns that his former girlfriend Lucy is pregnant.
It also stars Gregor Fisher, known to millions as Rab C Nesbitt, and it will be broadcast at 9pm on Thursdays on ITV.

Quinn approves controversial map for redrawn congressional districts
BY DAVE MCKINNEY AND LYNN SWEET Sun-Times staff reporters June 24, 2011 12:19PM
Gov. Pat Quinn | AP
Updated: September 29, 2011 12:44AM
SPRINGFIELD — Triggering an angry GOP outcry, Gov. Quinn Friday signed a Democratic-drawn set of new congressional boundaries that could reverse Republican gains from 2010.
"This map is fair, maintains competitiveness within congressional districts and protects the voting rights of minority communities," Quinn said in a prepared statement announcing his decision.
The way Statehouse Democrats rejiggered the region's congressional boundaries put five incumbent suburban Republicans into hostile Democratic turf or in potential primaries against one another.
The Democrats also did favors for their own, moving to eliminate a well-funded, possible primary challenge to U.S. Rep. Dan Lipinski (D-Ill.) and extending a finger of the Hispanic district represented by U.S. Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-Ill.) to include his new Portage Park home.
The redistricting is designed to reflect population shifts revealed in the Census. As part of that, Illinois lost one of its 19 congressional seats.
Responding to Quinn's action, 10 of Illinois 11 congressional Republicans and the chief of the state GOP issued blistering responses to Quinn, belittling his claim that the map was "fair" and calling for the new boundaries to be overturned in federal court.
"Despite his expressed desire for 'openness and fairness,' Gov. Quinn instead rewarded his Democrat allies by approving this highly partisan map that tears apart communities and disrespects the will of Illinois voters as expressed in last fall's election," the statement from the GOP congressmen and women said.
The statement, signed by every Illinois Republican member of Congress except U.S. Rep. Timothy Johnson (R-Ill.), also predicted the boundaries would not withstand a federal lawsuit that is expected to be filed in federal court by former Illinois Attorney General Tyrone Fahner and ex-U.S. House Speaker J. Dennis Hastert (R-Ill.).
Johnson, who was drawn out of his existing east-central Illinois congressional district, ignited anger from some of his GOP colleagues for published statements he made suggesting that a Republican legal challenge to the map would fail.
"This map is a national - not just a local - example of gerrymandering. Pat Quinn is the only one who could stand up with a straight face and say it's a fair map," said Pat Brady, chairman of the Illinois Republican Party.
"They released these proposals late on Fridays, passed them on holiday weekends and sign them into law with no public signing ceremonies on Fridays to avoid media and public scrutiny. That alone speaks volumes," Brady said.

Personal work is great, it lets you break free and become a bit more creative than you might be when shooting an assignment. So when Chelsea agreed to this series of shots I was pretty happy! I had scouted this location beforehand and it worked out well for us, it's quite a bit north of San Francisco but sometimes you need to go that far to escape the fog.
Chelsea was great to work with, she stood in that long grass for ages while we took a series of photographs. On the subject of the long grass, if you have visited before you might recall on an earlier post I said "I'll still take the girl in the long grass shot as soon as I have a girl to shoot and some long grass to shoot her in!", well there you go…I delivered on my promise!
And then we did this…
I'm not going to explain the photographs. There's a lot of different sources of inspiration for these photographs; a song by my favourite band ballboy, a photographer, a beard, desire for personal growth….there will be more in the future.
These few images took a lot of work, a lot of preparation and organization to set up and take but it was a lot of fun! Working with a team with a single goal was a great experience. Many thanks to our super talented makeup artist Melanie Paulina, if you need an extraordinary makeup artist in the San Francisco Bay area you can find her at www.melaniepaulina.com. I also have to thank Chelsea for being so amazing and free and open to my eccentricity!
That's all for this post. I can't end without thanking everyone that made these photographs possible.

Co-ops 'create jobs, beat poverty'7 November 2012 Co-operatives can be used as a business model to effectively empower South African communities by creating employment and helping to eradicate poverty, says the chief director of co-operatives development at the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), Jeffrey Ndumo. Ndumo spoke on Monday at the graduation ceremony of members of Soweto-based co-operatives who completed the enterprise development and empowerment training workshop offered by the DTI last month. "Co-operatives are established by members of the community with a common purpose after identifying a social, cultural or economic need that will assist them improve their lives," he said at the Diepkloof Community Hall in Soweto, southwest of Johannesburg. "Economically, co-operatives are a good and successful model to create employment and eliminate poverty. They are also one of the best ways and means of mobilising the marginalised sections of our society and bring them into the mainstream economy."
Creating a captive marketNdumo said while the contribution of co-operatives to the country's Gross Domestic Product was minimal, "the future of employment creation in South Africa lies with co-operatives due to their ability to create a captive market". The training was in line with the DTI's mandate to promote entrepreneurship in the country and establish, support and grow co-operatives. The graduation ceremony was hosted by a member of Parliament's portfolio committee on trade and industry, Xitlhangoma Mabasa. Mabasa said he decided to facilitate the training for members of co-operatives in his constituency in order to contribute in reducing the failure rate of small enterprises, including co-operatives. "I felt it was necessary to assist these entrepreneurs by equipping them with the basic skills and knowledge such as financial management, marketing, business management and human resource management," he said. "In this way not many small enterprises will fail and they will be able to take their rightful place in the South African economy and contribute in creating more jobs." One of the businesspeople who received a certificate, Ntebo Takalo, said the three-day training workshop was beneficial to all the five members of her co-operative, Gauta Ya Letlotlo La Taimane. "The skills and knowledge we acquired at the workshop has opened our eyes and minds to numerous things we would have not been exposed to had we not attended. These include tendering for projects, running the cooperative like a business, applying for finance, as well as financial and business planning," she said. Source: SANews.gov.za

Unfortunately I am in a bit of a sewing comfort zone. I keep sewing the same dress in different fabrics.
But I added a detachable bow belt this time.
Sun dresses with self-drafted bodice. The skirt is just two 56cm lengths of fabric sewn together and gathered. Bodice is lined with cotton voile.
The belt has a pair of hammer on hooks and eyes for closure.
Aprox 2.60 meters of Cotton quilting fabric ($3 a meter years ago from Spotlight), Cotton voile (forget how much) I used one of the cheap 30cm white invisible zips I bought on Ebay.
Hammer on hooks and eyes. Gutterman Polyester thread

Very cute! I am similar…I have a bodice block that I use for everything, and I just change the skirts. I'm thinking about doing something different, but then I'm scared it won't be the cute, well-fitting cut I like. Great job!
