From a sustainability perspective, energy is arguably the most important resource that we manage. Campus energy use from electricity and natural gas sources generate two-thirds of our campus greenhouse gas emissions. The university spends approximately $2M annually on electricity and natural gas; however, future supplies and costs of these invaluable resources are unpredictable. For these reasons and others, it is imperative that we manage our energy consumption diligently and pursue alternative, renewable sources of energy.
The 2007 Sustainability Strategic Plan put forward the following objective with regard to energy:
Recognizing the seriousness of global climate change, UCCS will strive to reduce its contribution to greenhouse gases by reducing energy use, increasing energy efficiency and pursuing the use of renewable energy.
UCCS has adopted the Smart Energy Living ® Pyramid as a guiding energy management principle as well as an educational tool.
Energy Conservation is about user behavior and the actions that we can take every day to reduce energy use at work and at home: turning off lights when not needed, powergin off and unplugging computers and other electronics when not being used, turning down the themrostats, taking shorter showers and more.
Energy Efficiency is technology that helps us reduce our energy use: more efficient CFL or LED lighbulbs, occupancy and vacancy sensors, energy-efficient mechanical and HVAC systems and applicances, and more.
Renewable Energy is the final piece of the pyramid. After reducing as much energy as we can from conservation and efficicency, UCCS strives to incoporate as much renewable energy, currently from solar thermal, solar photovoltaic,and wind, to our energy portfololio.
With a growing campus, reducing total energy consumption is an elusive challenge. UCCS is focusing its efforts on reducing its Energy Use Intensity (EUI), the rate of energy used per square foot, by targeting energy efficiency in new buildings and conducting conservation campaigns and retrofit projects in existing buildings. Between 2005 and 2009, UCCS applied a $1.3 million Energy Performance Bond toward energy and water efficiency projects. This program provides approximately $75,000 in savings per year and more than $76,000 in one-time rebates from Colorado Springs Utilities.
To view campus energy use, access the UCCS utility managment system here. Use 'uccs' for 'Username', 'Password', and 'Datasource'.
Chancellor Shockley-Zalabak, motivated by the statewide fiscal challenges, charged the creation of this committee to provide integrated, comprehensive strategies to reduce utility costs on the campus. Directors and Facilities staff throughout the campus are examining technical, operational, and behavioral strategies to reduce energy and water use. Building proctors have been identified in each of the buildings to assist with conservation strategies.
The Facilities Resource Conservation Group partnered with Colorado Springs Utilities to conduct a free audit of 4 UCCS buildings to identify low and no cost measures to increase efficiency. Operating and maintenance projects were identified and Facilities staff meets monthly to update and pursue energy efficiency measures.
UCCS is a state university and therefore is charged by the State of Colorado "to take a position of leadership in the new energy economy. State government will reduce energy consumption, increase the use of renewable energy sources, increase the energy efficiency and decrease the environmental impact of the state vehicle fleet, implement environmental purchasing standards and reduce waste and increase recycling." On April, 2007, Governor Bill Ritter, Jr., signed the Greening of State Government Executive Orders D011 07 and D012 07, which sets a goal of reducing energy use by purchasing ENERGY STAR® products when available. ENERGY STAR is a joint program of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy that identifies and promotes energy efficient products and buildings for American consumers, businesses, and organizations to help reduce energy consumption, reduce pollution in the form of greenhouse gas emissions (GHG), and decrease environmental impact. Read the UCCS ENERGY STAR policy here.
In 2005, after completing a comprehensive technical energy audit of 1.2 million SF of general funded and auxiliary facilities, UCCS secured a $1.3 million bond for energy and resource conservation projects. The audit identified energy savings measures, comprised mainly of heating, cooling, and lighting, that contain life cycle cost benefits for the University. The project will reduce UCCS' energy requirements over an 18-year payback period with generated savings expected to repay the debt.
The first phase of the UCCS lighting retrofit targeted five buildings, Science, Engineering, University Hall, University Center, and Eagle Rock, for retrofits of T-12 fluorescent lamps to T-8 lamps and the replacement of magnetic ballasts with electronic ballasts. Almost all of the remaining buildings on campus already have T-8 lighting. This retrofit is expected to provide approximately 40% in energy savings (for lighting) in these buildings, improve illumination in many areas, and reduce our carbon footprint (the amount of CO2 released from burning coal to generate electricity). Project details are as follows:
|Total Project Cost
|Colorado Springs Utilities Rebates
|Simple Payback
|2.56 years
|Anticipated Savings Per Year
|Reduced CO2 (greenhouse gas)/yr
|641,758 lbs.
Additional lighting projects underway are:
• Retrofit of exit signs with .95 Watt LED lights, a significant savings over incandescent lamps,
• Retrofit of all incandescent cam lights with compact fluorescent lamps,
• Future lighting projects include occupancy sensors, photocells, and vending machine misers.
UCCS is currently installing a campus-wide Direct Digital Control (DDC) network to optimize energy savings, ensure consistent temperature control, and maintain the critical building HVAC systems. This system will provide standardization for all critical campus DDC systems, web access for remote monitoring, scheduling, and maintenance, and monitoring of electric meters for complex reporting and analysis of the long term performance and potential for energy savings.Instituting these Energy Management Control strategies is expected to provide energy savings of 10-15% for the included buildings.
The Energy Performance Bond includes some projects to replace old, inefficient mechanical equipment with newer, more efficient units. As part of the Dwire Hall renovation, the chiller was upgraded and includes an evaporative pre-cooling system to reduce peak demand loads and energy use. The evaporative pre-cooling system uses the cooling power of evaporation along with our semi-arid climate to reduce energy and demand for large air-cooled systems.

My husband and I both really liked this recipe. We followed the recipe as written, except we used chicken sausage and added extra craisens. It had a lot of great flavor!
Sausage and Rice-Stuffed Acorn Squash
AnnaBird Posted: 11/29/12
SaraEllen Posted: 01/24/13
I really liked the filling for the acorn squash. I think that the better the squash is, the better this meal is. I had 1 squash I thought had a ton of flavor to it and it was excellent with the filling. The other squash I bought was just so so and it seemed a tad bland and therefore didn't complement the filling as well. If you are used to doctoring up squash with butter and brown sugar, you may find that it isn't as sweet as you might like. However, if you like the taste of squash by itself, you will really like it. This recipe is definitely a keeper.
wishokie1 Posted: 11/18/12
We did not find this to be dry at all--we grated our own Parmesan cheese, which makes much more than 1/4 cup for 1 oz because it grates so finely and is not packed down. I wonder if that made the difference between this and the other reviewer's experience? We did not use Swiss cheese, because I do not prefer it--so we used a little bit of mozzarella. It came out wonderfully, and not too salty as long as the filling was mixed with the squash while eating. Yum. I made two changes that are personal preference more than absolute: I halved the squash, scooped the seeds out, and THEN baked for 30 minutes at 425. Also, I only broiled it for 2 minutes at the end and the cheese was already browned and crispy.
Pianomarm Posted: 11/18/12
Extremely dry! The Swiss did not go with the other flavors. For my taste this dish is too salty since the sausage and cheese are already salty. I added 1 T chopped sage (fresh) for additional flavor. This recipe needs considerable tweeking.
gotbidnezz Posted: 01/17/13
We get a good amount of acorn squash from our CSA, so this will probably be our go-to for our squashes. It seems like it's pretty flexible for adding or subtracting ingredients based on what you like and what you have in the fridge. I added a carrot, an apple, 1/2 pound of sausage, and a 1/4 tsp. of thyme. I skipped the swiss cheese and cranberries. Instead of stuffing the squash, I cut it up, mixed everything together, put it in a casserole pan, and drizzled it with a couple tablespoons maple syrup. AMAZING. I didn't need to add any salt or pepper, the thyme was enough.
Jane1019 Posted: 02/04/13
We loved the combination of ingredients. I'm going to try another reviewer's suggestion and mix the filling with cubed squash.
DGewertz0624 Posted: 01/01/13
Needs some tweaking, not sure what. Maybe the acorn squash needs to be blended with everything else in casserole type style. Maybe the fat from the sausage needs to baste into the squash. The dried cranberries added a lot, but it needs something else. It's on its way to something very good though.
AustinCheryl Posted: 12/20/12
Disappointingly bland tasting. Not sure what it needs, but the sausage mixture and squash just didn't complement each other and there wasn't a lot of flavor. Maybe I'd suggest a spicier sausage. I used mozzarella cheese in place of swiss since that is what I had.

How client (software) compression affects backup performance.
|Created: 2000-01-28
|Updated: 2013-10-23
|Article URL http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH6052
How client (software) compression affects backup performance.
If compression is turned on at the hardware level and also at the class level, it can sometimes be a disadvantage, causing backup throughput to suffer greatly. The compression then becomes inefficient. Turning compression off at the class level, while leaving the hardware compression in place, can possibly cause the backup throughput to more than double. This, however, is not always the case.
Advantages of Compression:
Compression reduces the size of a backup by reducing the size of files in that backup. This, in turn, decreases the amount of media required for storage. Because the compression and subsequent expansion is performed on the client, compression also decreases the amount of data going over the network and therefore the network load.
Disadvantages of Compression:
Compression increases computing overhead on the client and also increases backup time (due to the time required to compress the files). In addition, the lower transfer rate associated with compression on the client reduces the ability of some tape devices (notably DLT and 8 mm) to stream data, thus causing more wear on those devices than would otherwise occur.
Nevertheless, the savings in media and network resources still make compression desirable, unless total backup time or client computing resources become a problem. If total backup time is a problem, consider multiplexing. The NetBackup multiplexing feature backs up clients in parallel, thus reducing the total time to back them up.
In general, it IS NOT recommended to use client (software) compression, unless backing up over a slow network link.
In general, it IS recommended to use hardware compression, unless backing up over a slow network link, AND using client (software) compression.
Client (software) compression is supported on all supported UNIX clients.

The Role of F-Box Proteins during Viral Infection

Abstract: The F-box domain is a protein structural motif of about 50 amino acids that mediates protein–protein interactions. The F-box protein is one of the four components of the SCF (SKp1, Cullin, F-box protein) complex, which mediates ubiquitination of proteins targeted for degradation by the proteasome, playing an essential role in many cellular processes. Several discoveries have been made on the use of the ubiquitin–proteasome system by viruses of several families to complete their infection cycle. On the other hand, F-box proteins can be used in the defense response by the host. This review describes the role of F-box proteins and the use of the ubiquitin–proteasome system in virus–host interactions.

Tell Us: What Should Our First Meal in a New Kitchen Be?
We're moving into this kitchen tomorrow. Well, the apartment that holds this kitchen. And right after we make our bed, we'll start unpacking our pots, pans, and plates.
It's been a long, hard, slog of a move -- one that makes us think we'll want to answer the above question by crying, "Takeout!" But it's our new home, with a new kitchen, and we'd like to christen it with a memorable meal...
People talk a lot about what their last meal on Earth would be. Or maybe if they had to eat one meal for the rest of their lives... But the first meal -- in a new home, with a new spouse, in a new city -- can be just as important a memory.
Plus, we have a big, beautiful fridge! And counter space!
Right now, we're leaning towards something Italian. Simple (we're tired), seasonal, but indulgent in a way that eating half a pound of pasta can feel. Or perhaps a standby like pork tenderloin, which we make so often. It'll create continuity between our last home and this one.
We'd love your ideas, Kitchn community. What says home to you? What should we cook?

Sharp kitchen!
I'd suggest a bottle of champagne, caviar, antipasto and stuff like that for your first meal.
Homemade pizza!! Buy the dough, add the toppings.
Also, can I ask about your cabinets? Are they IKEA, and if so, how much did they cost (materials and installation)? They are really pretty!
Is that a full-size range? It kind of looks like the smaller range I have in my kitchen, but it's hard to tell from the angle.
funny, as i read your post, i thought italian too! i guess because it's so comforting and smells great. my favorite homey smell is onions and garlic simmering in olive oil. mmmm. add some ground meat, sauce and pasta and voila!
congrats and enjoy your lovely kitchen! oo and have fun with the F&P dishwashers. they're so convenient. i love mine!
Susmita- Unfortunately, we didn't get to design this kitchen. It was built before we bought the apartment, so I'm not sure about the cabinets... sorry! I assume they are stock cabinets, though (and likely not pricey).
cgretton- yes, it is a full-size range. Maybe the angle of the photo makes it look smaller?
Pasta sounds grand to me! It's the ultimate in easy comfort food in my mind. A nice pot of red sauce, a crusty loaf of bread and a bright salad. Yum.
Rats. Now I'm going to be daydreaming of fresh tomatos tossed with salt and olive oil and dumped over pasta all day. It's my standby summer dinner and it's ALMOST here...
My first dish in one apartment was a pasta with cream sauce, salmon, and dill from the Silver Palate cookbook. We sat on the floor to eat it, and it was perfect. Not so healthy, but warm, and filling, and comforting.
nothing that uses the oven or requires precise heat.
so i'd say no to the tenderloin and definitely no to a pizza. it takes a while to get used to how a new-to-you oven works and you don't want to have to fuss too much after a hearty day of unpacking.
i vote for something that you're super comfortable making on the stove top. italian would be great.
then a super easy and quick dessert from the cook by feel post! like poached pears.
What a wonderful kitchen! As for a first meal, we recently made a spring vegetable terrine from Stephane Reynaud's cookbook (the recipe is available online at chow.com), some herbed goat cheese, and baguettes. You can, of course, buy the baguette instead of baking it, since you're tired! But the terrine was incredibly easy and can be served warm, room temp, or cold. Perfect for an impromptu picnic in your beautiful new apartment.
While I like the pasta idea, why not go for something seasonal as well, like a chicken and orzo pasta salad? It's one of our family favorites, and is perfect for this time of year with so many fresh veggies and basil. It is also makes a yummy lunch the next day while you're unpacking all those boxes. Create a special first-night-in-the-new-apartment cocktail to preface your meal. That will make it memorable!
Giada has an amazing roasted chicken (in the Everyday Italian cookbook) that I love pairing with an easy risotto and sauteed string beans. Served with a side of fresh baked bread, it's a super simple, filling yet light meal!
what a nice day, but perhaps not one for stew making. Maybe an asian inflected sesame noodle dish (or salad) with seasonal vegetables - like ramps, asparagus, artichokes. To celebrate counter space, perhaps a pineapple salsa with red onions, cilantro, a mango or two, and lime juice with corn tortillas.
Homemade pizza and some antipasto. For dessert........a flourless chocolate cake with creme fraiche and fresh strawberries

Sugar Ray Robinson Movies and Career Information
May 03, 1921
Sugar Ray Robinson (born Walker Smith Jr., May 3, 1921 – April 12, 1989) was a professional boxer. Frequently cited as the greatest boxer of all time, Robinson's performances in the welterweight and middleweight divisions prompted sportswriters to create "pound for pound" rankings, where they compared fighters regardless of weight. He was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 1990. Robinson was 85-0 as an amateur with 69 of those victories coming by way of knockout, 40 in the first round. He turned professional in 1940 at the age of 19 and by 1951 had a professional record of 128-1-2 with 84 knockouts. Robinson held the world welterweight title from 1946 to 1951, and won the world middleweight title in the latter year. He retired in 1952, only to come back two and a half years later and regain the middleweight title in 1955. He then became the first boxer in history to win a divisional world championship five times, a feat he accomplished by defeating Carmen Basilio in 1958 to regain the middleweight championship. Robinson was named "fighter of the year" twice: first for his performances in 1942, then nine years and over 90 fights later, for his efforts in 1951. He

Doesn't have the same ring, does it? I
wonder if Roman Centurions ever discussed among themselves how some of their
Legionaries had that special 'something' that made them stand out, perhaps
commenting 'Ave! There goes a Legionary that is prepared to transit the extra
Monday, you put your car in for service at 8am. The person at the Service
Reception desk doesn't make eye contact with you, makes 'Good Morning'
sound like an accusation, an aggressive threat and a question at the same time,
makes it clear that they are very, very busy, and that life would be bearable
but for the existence of, and continuing unreasonable demands for attention of,
bloody Customers. Sorry, the courtesy bus has just left while you were waiting
at the counter queue, it won't be back for an hour, but there's a phone
'over there' to ring a cab…
3pm you arrive to pick the car up, a different person is at the desk, you are
smiled at, given a cheery greeting that actually sounds genuine, referred to by
name, offered a coffee, a comfortable seat, and told that your car is being
washed right now, but will arrive at the door in ten minutes or so. Ten minutes
later you are on your way in a clean smelling, washed and freshly vacuumed
vehicle, somewhat lighter in the pocket of course, and pleasantly surprised at
the difference between your emotional state now, and what it was seven hours
strange thing is that, in the above scenario, I have used two different people
– but what is also common is that the two different sets of behaviour can
sometimes be exhibited by the same person…
of us who travel, and who prefer to stay in the same Hotels each time, quickly
get a 'handle' on which of the staff are willing and friendly, and the
grumpy ones, or the cold ones, whom you try to stay away from… OK, I know the
Hotel needs to be told who these people are, but being busy, being Human, and
being the nice people we are, we tend not to say anything. We are there (and
paying) for a good night's sleep, good food, peace and quiet, and nice
surroundings – not to get mixed up in the Hotel's HR issues. In
Sydney a few months ago, I was sitting in my hotel room staring glumly at my
brand-new suitcase which (I had only just noticed) had been leaking sundry items
after having been substantially redesigned by the airport baggage-handlers and
was now subsequently useless, when my room phone rang. It was the client I had
come to see. "Where's your mobile phone?" she asked. With a sinking heart
I looked around the room. Nowhere to be seen. "I've just had a phone call
from the cabbie who brought you in from the Airport. He found your phone, hit
'redial', I was the last person you spoke to – and I told him who &
where you are. He's on his way to you now." By the time I got down to
reception, he'd been and gone. He'd had to come back over the Bridge, too.
He didn't even charge me – and I would have been happy to pay. I couldn't
thank him so I rang his Boss. It was Legion Cabs, so there's a free plug to
offset the cost. I've told people this story and they look at me as if I'm
telling a porkie – but it's true. Full of optimism I rang the airline to see
if they wanted to fix the problem with my bag, and that's where the dream
ended... I guess I shouldn't have pushed my luck. I flew on to Auckland with a
taped-and-strapped up bag, and here's the strange bit; the Auckland service
counter staff of that same airline couldn't have been more helpful, and a
couple of days later I came back with a brand new bag - so good on yer, Qantas
what is it that causes these hugely different service experiences? I've had
Customer Service Managers make comments to me along the lines of 'If I could
find out what it is that makes the difference, and somehow clone it, I could fix
all my service problems and create an unbeatable team'.
Having worked with my fellow Humans in a behaviour-modification (training) capacity for many years now (and a lot of that in Customer Service or Relationship-based issues), I think I can safely admit that training only goes so far. This may sound defeatist or arrogant, and I certainly don't mean it that way, but I can look around the faces in a Customer Service workshop, including those pitched at Management level – and within the first hour I can sense the ones who will 'go forth and make a difference', conversely I can also pick the ones who really don't give a damn, or who just fail to see the importance of Customer Service.
hope you will agree with me that there are those who join your organisation
straight from school, or Polytech or Uni, and from day one (prior to any
training) they are already demonstrating an eagerness to 'go the extra
mile', even if at this early point they are not sure in which direction that
mile lies – they give it their best shot anyway.
well remember a cheerful, smiley young bloke that started –straight from
school- as a CS person in an organisation where (for my sins) I was the
Marketing Manager. The Customers liked him, so did his workmates, and then we
had a complaint. Turned out he was helping a regular Customer load some stock
into his car, made a crack about our dear Prime Minister of that time, and the
Customer unfortunately happened to be a staunch supporter… As I launched into
a 'severe talking to', the guy's face just seemed to crumple up, my
guardian angel must have whispered in my ear because I found myself laughing at
what this Customers face must have looked like, and then we had a 'guidance
session' as to exactly which areas of life are safe to joke about with
Customers, unless you know those customers really, really well. He learned
something from it, and so did I. Had I done as I fully intended to, maybe I
might have damaged that very spontaneity that made him different.
getting around to admitting my belief that the Customer Service Person who
'goes the extra mile' has something inside them that others do not, and it
has nothing to do with knowledge or skill, since when we apply those things to a
range of Humans who are otherwise equal, we get a range of different outputs. We
can 'sense' it in their demeanour at recruiting interviews, and of course
there are batteries of psychometric tests that can help. Reference checking
helps, as does Behavioural Interviewing, but that's not so easy when they
don't have much in the way of work experience. There's a training video on
Behavioural Interviewing Skills that has the title 'More than a Gut Feel',
and it's a good video too - even if some of the acting is a bit cheesy – but
the point of the video is not to say 'don't go with gut feel'; it's
saying gut feel shouldn't kick-in until you've exhausted every other
technique. Just as well really – if this 'thing' that makes them go the
extra mile comes from inside, and I firmly believe it does – then how the hell
are you going to measure it?
pay and conditions has something to do with it, but then I've met some highly
paid people who don't give a toss. I accept that some people only come to work
in order to fund their out-of-work-time activities, that there is 'life after
work', and that many are dedicated to their family or their Church or the
Community Group they're a member of, and the job you give them simply funds
all that. Even so, 'we have a deal' – if I pay you 100% of the pay then I
expect 100% of the effort, and I include 'caring' about my (our) customers
as an integral part of the 'effort'. You can say 'D'ya want fries with
that' in many different tones of voice, volume, and facial expression – next
time you're shaving or putting your make-up on (or both – let's be
all-embracing here) give it a try. You can make it a threat or an invitation,
make it sound like the fries came from a suspect source, give it an
erotic-suggestive appeal, or (as intended) make it a helpful suggestion by way
of a reminder, when in fact it's an up-sell. I think the first step is to
identify, in relation to 'going the extra mile':
What are the Behaviours?
How are they exhibited?
How will we describe them, and measure the existence of them?
How will we train them?
from a recruiting point of view, try and identify what would we want a previous
employer to tell us, in a ref check. If there is no previous employer, what
would we look for in School reports, or in references from people in their
seems to me that Excellence in Customer Service comes from teams composed of
individuals who will 'go the extra mile' as a matter of course – to the
point where they don't see anything unusual in their Excellence, it being the
'accepted thing', and that Going the Extra Mile in Customer Service terms,
is as much about 'how' you do something, as it is about 'what' you do.
The guy at Kingsford Smith showed me by his tone of voice, as much as the
words he spoke over the phone, that hell would freeze over before he would get
off his lazy butt and make something happen about my ruined suitcase. In doing
so he rendered pointless his own existence, damaged the reputation of his
employer, and squandered the millions that are spent by the airline (in
advertising) trying to create an image of an Airline that cares. Advertising
makes promises that Humans have to fulfil. Perhaps some of the money should come
off the advertising pile and be put on the 'people improvement' pile, and by
that I mean putting resources in to better recruiting practices, improving pay
& conditions in some cases, providing quality training programmes that
inspire and persuade instead of numbing the senses, and rewards and incentives
other than pay –including simple recognition and the giving of credit- for top
sincerely believe that the driver that makes someone 'go the extra mile' is
an internal one that lurks in some, but not all, of us. The trick is for those
in recruiting to be able to detect it, for those in training to
nurture, inspire, guide and support it with knowledge and skill, and for those
in leadership positions to provide the positive role model, create the
right environment, and give it the opportunity to come out and shine.

Product Title: PS398100 PlayStationMove Sharp Shooter
Manufacturer: Sony
Power Score: 4.5 | 2 Reviews
Product Reviews (2)
Nicely built piece, buttons located conveniently
good purchase and fun to use with killzone. need a greater selection of shooter games on the ps3 though. the gun gets a bit uncomfortable to use after a while, and the start button is a bit tricky to get to, but other than that, a great addition for shooter games. perhaps a shoulder strap would be nice too.
By Paplahozy on Sony - Official Store - Jan 2, 2012
Great piece of hardware.
This is a must have for those of you who play shooters with the PlayStation Move. It puts you right into the game. Well worth the $40.

Chapter 221 Reviews
I grabbed the brush from my draw and raked it through my knotted hair. A Grey hoodie lay on top of a pile of my clothes, I put it on quickly and slid into Bob's slippers which lay by his bunk. I pulled back the curtain and nearly lost my balance as Ellie jumped on top of me, her arms constricted any power I had left. "Hi Ell," I choked. "I missed you, I missed you, I missed you!" she chanted as we jumped round and round in circles. I laughed, our giggles of excitement mixed, "I missed you too, now can we please stop because your going to make me sick?" We stop and she held me at arm's length, measuring me up, "How long gone are you now anyway? Four Months? Five? You've hardly grown since you left me, I was expecting you to be bursting by now." I looked at her grimly before looking at the guys expressions around me, they sat smiling all happy to see me happy again I guessed.
"I'm five months gone El, you know that." I smiled weakly.
"You look about three,Kat. We need to get you fed up. Come on Ray help me cook the girls breakfast. Cheese omelette's okay with you guys?"
"Yes," Ellie yelped and tugged on my arm, "I just spoke to Frank Iero. The Frank Iero. And now he's making me breakfast. And Ray Toro's helping him. Could this get any better?" She pulled me along to the couch where she sat down beside me. "Of course, it could be better, but I just found one of my best friends in bed wanking the love of my life so I guess that's not happening any time soon." She rambled away to herself never looking at the guys but always speaking just a bit too loudly.
"Frank, don't do that! You cant use a spoon to turn an omelet! STOP IT FRANK!" Ray winged on and on in the kitchen as we sat talking on the couch, Gee and Bob played cards at the table and every now and again Gee would look around Bob and I would look around Ellie and we'd catch each other's eye, but I'd have to turn away before I giggled. Ellie picked up on this and was now smiling knowingly beside me. Mikey was helping the others make breakfast and he switched the radio on near to full blast.
"I cant live, if living is without you, I cant live," the radio station was of course playing old ballads and Ray and Frank had started to waltz around the small kitchen. Mikey had taken the frying pan from the stove and danced over to the toaster rather gracefully. Bob and Gee sat at the table, Bob took his Ipod Touch and used one of the applications to form a lighter to sway, while Gee used his mobile light as a lighter both swaying in time to the music. Ellie and I sat on the couch and we gradually built it up, singing along slowly. Mikey took a fork from the cutlery draw and reached down to take the toast from the toaster, "MIKEY DON'T!!!!!" we all shouted n unison and he dropped the fork, it made a clattering noise as it hit the floor. He raised his hands in defiance and made a guilty face. He turned to face us all and we all cried with laughter, his face was screwed up like a child caught in the act. Ray took the toast from the toaster and lay it on two plates. Mikey slid an omelet onto the toast. Frank grabbed a tea towel and threw it over his arm. Ray hand him the plates and Frank danced his way over to us rather waiter like. We both giggled as we were handed a plate and knives and forks. "Ouila, two cheese omelette's with a side of toast. Enjoy." We both laughed at him and started to eat. "DO you guys want drinks?" Gerard was up from the table as him and Bob had finished their game, Bob winning 13 points up. "Juice wouldn't go a miss." I said smiling brilliantly at him, Ellie giggled, "Yeah, wouldn't mind." He walked over to us and handed us each a glass of orange juice, mine slightly fuller than Ellie's, "Hey, that's not fair! She got more than me!" She wined a frown on her face,
"She needs the vitamin's more than you do," He replied sitting down behind me, I turned slightly so I was between them both, He touched my leg quickly and kissed me on the cheek, I checked to see if anyone was watching and quickly pressed my mouth to his, my hand on his cheek. "I'm falling for you too," I whispered. He smiled and laughed but stopped as he realized Bob was watching,
"Something funny?" he asked, his face sincere.
"No just Ellie's face," I laughed at looked at her, her jaw had dropped and she moaned on,
"What is this? Pick on the new girl day?" We laughed at her and she smirked at Gee and I. "I saw that." she mimed.
"Thanks for breakfast Guy's" I took my plate to the counter and hugged them all, "Maybe this feeding up things not so bad after all." Frank held on tightly to me,
"I like this living with a pregnant person, I could get used to it." I laughed at him.
"I'm gonna go change now," I went through to the bunks and bent down to the floor. My back was killing me, and I needed to go to the bathroom badly. I took several pieces of underwear from the draw and grabbed a pair of jeans and a vest before dragging myself up the stairs. I ran the taps into the small bath tub and grabbed some bubble bath. Why did everyone moan about this whole bus thing anyway? It seemed perfectly all right to me. The beds were okay and the bath was big enough. I stripped off and got into the tiny tub before I heard a knock on the door. "What do you want?" I asked through the door. "It's me Gerard." I heard him purr softly.
"I'm in the tub." I swished the water around me the bubbles leaving patterns on my skin. "You can come in if you want. The doors unlocked." I wrapped the bubbles around myself and slipped down deeper into the tub. He turned the door knob silently and entered. He looked at me. Right at me. "You look beautiful." He smiled a brilliant smile and I felt embarrassment flood my face.
"Are you going to get in here with me or not?" I laughed and he smiled, his face now turning crimson. He laughed and pulled his shirt over his head....

Q:hey was wondering if you build some of the pictures u blog, or are you just rebloging stuff, ive just started following you and i think your blog is amazing! :)
Currently I'm just reblogging stuff. When you see the LARGE RED Brick or the Santa Keychain, those are mine. I haven't built anything for a few years but I think that is going to change in the next few months once my personal life gets a little less crazy.
My biggest problem with building is I need space and money to store and buy the LEGO. Currently I don't have either.
What other issue would a LEGO lover have, just storage and money really.
Since I'm not at a place where I can build, Matt's Brick Gallery is trying to showcase the incredible men and woman who do build and don't need their parents to buy it for them.
Stay tuned….Matt's going to building soon!

Prefer the original as this one is slightly clumpy.
It smudges easily but great length to the lashes
Excellent as usual. ..very quick delivery:)))
looks ok when you first apply but 2 hours later and its all down your face and you look like you have panda eyes. I even tested it by applying only on one eye and a different maskara on the other eye and only the one with this product was all down my face. Waste of money as wont use again.
Gives good volume and intense black lashes which I like. It does exactly what it says it will however I have used better high street mascaras and will probably go back to those.
Love this product, gives great, full looking lashes and applies very easily, doesn't go clumpy which is fab! If only it was waterproof! All the same, by far my favourite mascara I've used!
I have ordered from this company many times and the service has always been quick and efficient.
Very good prompt service
