Perfect house for family reunions!
We rented John and Jeans house in Kissimmee and had a wonderful time. The house was better than the pictures and was very clean and had plenty of room to spread out. Our family had a mini family reunion, coming from Wisconsin, New York, and Georgia, and most of us are seniors, so we especially loved the fact that each bedroom, (which had very confortable beds,) had its own bathroom. The pool was huge and the game room was very nice. John and the management company responded promptly about any of our questions or concerns. We went to see Cirque du Soleil at Downtown Disney,( only 8 miles away), went to Boogy Creek (16 miles away) to ride on an airboat to see alligators, went to the Sunday Gospel breakfast buffet at the Houses of Blues at Downtown Disney and we had dinner one night at the Black Angus on Hwy 192 only about 2-3 miles down the road. Then just down highway 192, about 5-6 miles , was Old Towne where we had fun walking around the old fashion town and that night there was an antique car show. Had a yummy ice cream cone at Sweet Treats Cafe. All of there places were excellent and not a lot of driving to get to them, and enjoyed by all. We would highly recommend all of them. The location of the house is centerally located close to the parks, shopping, restaurants and grocery stores. Loved everything about it. Thanks John for renting your house to us. You made the process very easy and we will all have wonderful memories of our time in your lovely home. We would highly recommend it to anyone and would return next time we have a family reunion in Florida. It was our "Home away from Home."
First off hats off to Terry! He was so helpful with our Disney vacation and communicated with me very well on all other matters. Next the house. What can I say but WOW! The house was very clean and relaxing. The pool and spa were refreshing the entire week. The Weber grill was nice also. Last but not least the game room was AWESOME. My children, me and my father in-law spent a ton of time in there! Very close to all the parks and everything else you will need on your vacation. Thanks again Terry for making our very first Disney vacation a magical one!! Bob Jelinek North Ridgeville,Oh
just the most relaxing vacation that we wanted!!
We are a family of 4 adults + a 1 year old recently stayed here for 9 nights. This is by all means one of the best vacation rental we've had. The house is just very well done and maintained. The kitchen is bigger than what's shown on the photo in my opinion. and the pool! We all enjoyed it so much and it even came with a baby float that my 1 year old can use. We never get to use the kayak and bikes so that'll be for next time! The crib is for bigger babies/kids, but my 1 year old was totally find with the pack n play. Thanks John and Arlene to let us stay and their existence next door felt very reassuring although we really didn't need anything else as the house is all set up for us! The neighborhood is nice and quiet.. we love it!!

Civil War art at Met
David Vaughan (AB '84) owns the largest personal collection of Civil War photographs. Through September 2013, some of that collection is on display in an extensive exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. "The Civil War and American Art" explores how American artists responded to the Civil War and its aftermath. It features works made by leading figure painters such as Winslow Homer and Eastman Johnson, landscape painters such as Sanford R. Gifford and Frederic E. Church and photographers such as Mathew Brady and George Barnard. Vaughan is a member of the UGA Libraries Board of Visitors. Get more on the exhibit at http://www.metmuseum.org/exhibitions/listings/2013/civil-war.
Included among alumnus David Vaughan's photographs exhibited at the Metropolitan Museum of Art is this one of the Fincher Brothers, two of seven volunteer Confederate soldiers from Forsyth County during the Civil War. The exact identity of the men in the photo is not known but they are among the five Fincher men who served as enlisted men in Company I, 43rd Georgia Infantry, in 1862.

Normal small bowel
The normal fetal bowel varies in appearance during gestation. The small bowel appears brighter than the liver. The fetal small bowel can be seen sonographically as early as 12 weeks of gestation. Between 12-16 weeks, it appears homogenous.
Meconium accumulates in the small bowel from the early 2nd trimester.
As pregnancy progresses, the bowel becomes more heterogenous, centrally located and well defined with echogenic walls and hypoechoic contents. Late in pregnancy discrete fluid filled loops of bowel can be seen in virtually all fetuses.
Individual segments of small bowel should not exceed approximately 7-10 mm in diameter and 15 mm in length.
Peristalsis within the fetal bowel can be seen as early as 16 weeks of gestation.
Normal large bowel
The large bowel is not clearly recognizable with prenatal sonography until the early third trimester. Thereafter it becomes increasingly easy to recognize.
The colon frames the fetal ab domen, appearing as a continuous tube with a hypoechoic lumen.
The normal colon can be erroneously considered dilated small bowel. The identification of haustral folds, peripheral location, hypoechoic appearance and minimal peristalsis should allow small bowel to be distinguished from colon. The large bowel is seen ascending on the right side in the fetal abdomen to the hepatic flexure, transverse to the splenic flexure and inferior to the sigmoid and rectum.
The large bowel exhibits wide variation in diameter but rarely exceeds 23-26 mm.
The dilated bowel
The fetal bowel can be altered by a number of pathological processes. The commonest pathology is a bowel dilatation characteristically recognized as one or more tubular structures within the fetal abdomen. Bowel dilatation is due to obstruction which may either
- Mechanical
- Functional
Mechanical obstruction – result from either
· Intrinsic lesions – like absent (atresia) or partial recanalization (stenosis) of the intestine. In cases of atresia, the two segments of the gut may be either completely separated or connected by a fibrous cord. In cases of stenosis, the lumen of the gut is narrowed or the two intestinal segments are separated by a septum with a central diaphragm.
· Extrinsic obstructions – are caused by malrotation of the colon with volvulus, meconium ileus, and agangliosis.
Functional causes - for bowel obstruction include congenital chloride diarrhoea, microcystis megacolon intestinal hypoperistalsis syndrome.
USG appearance
· Most intestinal obstructive disorders do not occur until the third trimester (a second trimester scan is usually normal).
· Multiple interconnecting over distended bowel loops.
- Individual small bowel loops of >15 mm in length or 7 mm in diameter and large bowel > 23 mm in diameter
- The number of dilated bowel loops depends on the level of obstruction (the lower the level the greater the number).
- Peristalsis in the obstructed loops confirms that we are indeed looking at bowel.
· Polyhydramnios (more common in higher obstructions).
· Complications include bowel obstruction, perforation and ischemic necrosis due to vascular compromise which may be seen as intra abdominal calcification, ascites and matted bowel loops.
The following conditions can mimic a dilated bowel
1. Normal meconium filled colon mistaken for abnormally dilated small bowel
2. Normal dilatation of intestinal loops due to peristalsis
3. Renal tract anomalies – multicystic dysplastic kidney, dilated ureter
MCDK hydroureter
Intestinal obstruction
Obliteration of single or multiple segments of small or large bowel causing obstruction and segmental dilatation.
— 1 per 2000 live births
— More than one third of congenital bowel obstructions result from intestinal atresias
— In about half the cases there is small bowel obstruction and in the other half, anorectal atresia.
Small bowel obstruction
a. Jejuonoileal atresia: The most frequent site of small bowel obstruction is distal ileum (35%), followed by proximal jejunum (30%), distal jejunum (20%), and proximal ileum (15%).
Jejunoileal atresia is commonly categorized as follows
- Type I – Membrane
- Type II – Blind ends joined by fibrous cord
- Type IIIa – Disconnected blind end
- Type IIIb – Apple-peel deformity
- Type IV – Multiple, string of sausages
b. Meconium ileus
— Impaction of abnormally thick and sticky meconium in the distal ileum-functional obstruction
— Nearly all newborns have cystic fibrosis
— Dilated bowel segments containing echogenic meconium - usually seen after 26 weeks
— USG findings include
- Polyhydramnios
- Dilated bowel loops
- Meconium peritonitis
- Abnormal areas of increased echogenicity
— All the above findings are non specific and definitive diagnosis is difficult.
Large bowel obstruction
Large bowel obstruction is rare and more difficult to diagnose because of wide variations in the diameter of a healthy fetus's colon. Abnormalities of the large bowel causing a bowel dilatation include Anorectalatresia and Hirschsprung disease.
a. Anorectal atresia
· 1 in 2000 births
· Rarely seen as dilated colon in the lower abdomen or pelvis
· Calcified intraluminal meconium pellets seen either proximal or distal to the site of obstruction
· Amniotic fluid volume usually normal. May be reduced when associated with bilateral renal disorders.
b. Hirschsprung disease
· Characterized by congenital absence of intramural myenteric nerve ganglia and sympathetic nerve plexus in a bowel segment.
· 1 in 10000 to 20000.
· Rarely presents prenatally, but when it does it is usually due to total colonic agangliosis.
· Sonographic features are non specific and rare. May be seen as dilated bowel segments and mild polyhydramnios
· Bowel loops twist around the mesenteric artery or it's branches.
· The ischemic necrosis may lead to intestinal atresia
· Characteristic ultrasound marker- 'Whirlpool sign' – the twisted bowel loop and it's accompanying mesentery and mesenteric vessels exhibit a whirlpool like configuration. But this sign is not depicted in all cases.
· Other non specific sonographic appearance includes – dilated bowel loops, ascites, polyhydramnios, intra abdominal cystic mass.
Congenital chloride diarrhoea
· Rare
· Autosomal recessive
· Disorder of chloride transport in distal ileum and colon
· USG – moderately dilated intestinal fluid filled loops (entire jejunum and ileum) with good peristalsis.
Ultrasound can differentiate a dilated small bowel from dilated large bowel. However the prenatal ultrasound demonstrates true insufficiencies in fixing the precise etiology.
Normal fetal bowel has a wide range of appearances. It is therefore important to be aware of the various patterns attributable to the normal gastrointestinal tract and consider the possibility of normal bowel or a process arising elsewhere in the fetus before diagnosing a gastrointestinal abnormality.
Nevertheless, a simple dilatation of the bowel may refer to a more severe disorder e.g. bowel volvulus, multiple atresia, meconium ileus or a megacystis micro colon intestinal hypoperistalsis syndrome. Hence a pre natal estimation of the problem helps us to be better prepared on arrival of the neonate.

Comics Editor Carol shares ten comics she liked (and hasn't written about yet*) in 2013:
t's an amazing time in comics right now. There are too many good ones for me to even read them all. Comics are like a hydra, but without the decapitation or even really the fighting. (So maybe not all that much like a hydra except I find one comic and then there are 3-6 more I become interested in).
Here are ten comics I haven't written about. They include the following things: Weird Westerns, the undead, women who bring death, a dog who loves pizza, bros, the Nineties, Jordie Bellaire, Kieron Gillen, queer representation, non-human apes, Sparta, legendary heroes, robots, barbarians, swords, spears, dancing aliens, and many, many ladies.

Holy smokes! Mike Hampton is starting today for the Braves.
Hasn't pitched in the bigs since 2005. Before I got married.
He's earned something like 30 million dollars since his last pitch.

"But I do know Joey's sister indirectly (or foster sister) and I have heard stories of Joey being into shopping, designer wear, fancy coffees, and pedicures."
Hope he does well.
Go Gators!
It looks like he could get a win if he can get through 5 innings without blowing the 6 run lead his team just gave him.
WOW. 9 Runs, 6 Earned off Cole Hamels in 3 and 2 thirds before they took him out.
"All I can tell them is pick a good one and sock it." --BABE RUTH
Having better players makes "the right time" or "the big hit" happen a lot more often. PLUS PLUS
The over/under for Hampton getting hurt is apparently 4 hours.
Hampton and the Braves blew a 6 run lead and are losing 10-9.
4 Innings, 8 Hits, 6 Runs, 2 BB, 1 K
Aren't the Rockies still paying him to NOT pitch for the Braves? That has to be the all time worst contract ever.
In 2009, he'll be an Astro, pending a physical.
Hampton should pitch for the Rockies and Braves, and pay them to do it. What a joke.
Too bad. This is a free agent I hoped Walt would talk to seriously. I made that argument here some weeks ago but was told he was a certainty to re-sign with Atlanta.
Here in Houston, there saying it's pretty much a done deal that Hampton's signed with the Astros...just pending a physical. And it looks like they've given up any ideas of re-signing Wolf.
~edit~ hehe...didn't see 'unassisted''s first post of yesterday. Nevermind.

What do the Great Lakes of Michigan and the rainforests of Costa Rica share besides a common longitude? We answer that question this week on Sea Change Radio. Each of these places is home to an environmental evangelist who is helping to connect his community to a sustainable future. Sea Change Radio host, Alex Wise, first talks to Ryan King, a biologist, independent journalist, and "eco-preneur" in Costa Rica who has brought biodiesel, biochar and environmental projects to remote parts of the country. Next, Alex speaks to Norman Christopher, Grand Valley State University's Sustainability Director who's helping to transform the industrial city of Grand Rapids, Michigan into a cutting-edge, environmentally progressive urban center in the face of tough economic times.
To learn more about the work that Ryan is doing in Costa Rica, check out his article from The Oil Drum.

All signs are pointing to the new year starting off on the right foot. Just three days into 2012 and we've got a new single along with the promise of a new album from Brooklyn emcee Jean Grae. Anyone familiar with Grae can vouch for her lively, outspoken persona, sharp tongue and acerbic wit both in her music and live shows, as well as around the Interwebs. Conversely, anyone who knows Jean Grae's body of work is also aware that she has a knack for flawlessly delivering introspective verses and conveying personal reflection. New release U&Me&EveryoneWeKnow is right on time as people shake off the remnants of the previous year and look forward to what lies ahead with the knowledge gained from past experiences. With quiet but moving production from M-Phazes that includes an extended intro we get the sense that we're overhearing a private conversation or Jean's inner thoughts as opposed to a hip-hop song. U&Me&EveryoneWeKnow will appear on Jean Grae's currently unscheduled album Cake of Death, a follow up to her The DJBooth-hosted album Cookies or Comas mixtape.

Ordering for a Team?
Let our Team Division Help!
Item has a Minimum Qty
This snorkel set is somewhere between a kid's and an adult's.I am a small woman and the mouthpieces on most adult snorkels are too big for my mouth, but the kid's size doesn't work either. (The mask is too small and the snorkel length too short.) This is perfect. Easy to put on and take off as well.
I am a 4'11", 100lb adult who wears child size sunglasses. Several times when renting snorkel equipment it has been a struggle if they are out of youth masks because the adult mask is huge on my face and leaks causing it to be essentially useless. I decided after the last time that from now on I will take my own with me when I travel and ordered this based on the reviews by people ordering it for their children. I couldn't ask for a better fit! Not 1 drop of water got in and it was comfortable on my face. For the fit, I do not mind hauling it around in my luggage every time I go on a trip to snorkel. I would recommend it 10 times over.
Works great.
It's the best quality and a bargain for it! Super fast shipping
The things I have bought work great and am enjoying them. The only problem I had was with the Jr snorkel and you replaced it fast and I am very happy with your service. Thank you
I had the same problem I always have. Leaks. That makes it average, I guess. But I don't recommend it for people with small angular faces.
I bought this for my dauther for the comming cruise. The quality is not as good as the one I bought for my son, Speedo Hyperfluid Mask and Snorkel. She tested it in the bath tub. Water leaks in from the mask.
good quality product
My 5 year old daughter loves this set. She takes it to the pool with her every time. It took her about 10 seconds to learn how to use the snorkel and it's just so cute watching her swim around the pool like a little otter. What I love about this set is that it appears to be made with better quality materials unlike some of the kids' sets I've seen at Target or even Sportsmart.The easy strap adjustments on the side are awesome. It prevents hair from being yanked out while pulling them on or off over her long hair and it's so convenient to make small adjustments so she feels perfectly comfortable in them.
I've tried these once at the pool where I swim for fitness. The snorkel works well and true to its promise, keeps water from splashing back down the tube. The mask though is uncomfortable. The nose cover plastic edge cuts into the area above my upper lip, and threatens to slide down into my mouth. I'll see if I can return this set and find another.

New alliance in the battle for cybersecurity
Wednesday - 2/17/2010, 4:44pm EST
There is a new alliance in the battle for cybersecurity. Though neither side has confirmed it, The Washington Post recently reported that Google has asked the NSA to help investigate the mid-December cyber attack against its networks "to better defend Google - and its users - from future attack." This partnership demonstrates the increasing interdependencies between the public and private sector in defending against cyber threats.

A sketch I did a few months ago that I finally got around to splashing some color on. Did it to practice some shading. Sloppy background thrown in and will have to think of something better.
Done in mind with the 2k12 TMNT series in coming up.
Sais are totally two diff sizes and line quality sucks.
Yeah, I amuse myself… This is basically me wishing I could whip up some mutagen ooze and have my own Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle. *sigh* Wouldn't that be AWESOME?!
It's on my Etsy too.
A while ago I did some new sketches based on the new style of the TMNT for the upcoming TV series on Nickelodeon. (Coming out Fall 2012. SUPER excited.)
I think I'll do some in color before I post the rest of the sketches. Here's Leo for you guys though.
p.s. I'm a huge TMNT nerd… so this could easily be a reoccurring theme on this tumblr. :)

Go See a Movie By Yourself Again AND IT WILL BE AWESOME
by Phil Warren
Today's Rediscovery: Going to See a Movie By Yourself
How Long HAS it Been: ~9 Years
Why: Unlike previous rediscoveries, this one was not one of nostalgia. It was to repenetrate a social barrier that I need to constantly remind myself is ridiculous. Seeing a movie in theaters by yourself makes sense, yet most people never do it. Why? If you go to movie theaters to talk with your friends, you're an asshat, plain and simple. Short of saving on popcorn and performing the tried-and-true awkward arm-stretch maneuver with your high-school sweetie, there's no reason to go to the movies with people, I guess. As proven in January, movie going is not really a social experience.
What Was it Like then: Similar to nervously asking a girl out on the phone in high school. I went once during some down time at a debate tournament, and it was nerve wracking. What if someone in the movie stood up, pointed, and tilted their head back to scream whilst inhaling, ala Invasion of the Body Snatchers? For the first 10 minutes, I couldn't shake the feeling that I shouldn't have been there.
What is it like now: Priest was pretty epic. For a post-apocalyptic sci-fi western vampire movie about a disgraced catholic martial arts expert, it was every bit the explodogasm and intellectual journey one would expect it to be. I felt like I was unable to nudge people around me knowingly during awesome lines, though there were never any moments of "We're going to need more holy water".
Notes: I should do this more… Except that ultimately I'm beginning to forget why I should go to the theaters at all. The digital revolution has left me with an arsenal of movies that make it somewhat dumb to go to the theater at all. So maybe there's not much to learn from this after all? Yeah, I think it's that. Sorry to have wasted your time folks. Welp, best be hittin' the old dusty trail…
Season of the Witch is Neither a Social Tool nor a Good Movie
by Phil Warren
Upon procuring advanced screening passes to Season of the Witch, I naturally assumed I'd embark on an adventure of epic proportions. Swordfighting alongside Nick Nolte, I'd have amazing tales of glory and make lifelong friends who share the unbreakable bond of witch-slaying. Then I realized that Nick Nolte and Nic Cage were seperate people, and relearned the difficult lesson that movies are not the same as real life.
Reeling from the Nick Nolte != Nic Cage revelation, I was put in a rather dour mood. I didn't feel like talking to anyone. Given we were in a movie theater, no one felt like talking to me, either. At this point, another revelation dawned on me: Going to the movie theater is not a social experience. Not one bit. Damn you Nic Cage! Read more »

Mortgage special to end on 9 May
Kiwibank has given notice that the six-month home special of 5.40% p.a. will end on Monday May 9, 2011. The rate will return to the pre-special rate of 5.75% p.a.
Kiwibank launched the special on 14 April, the lowest fixed rate it had offered since it was launched more than nine years ago.
Kiwibank Communications Manager Bruce Thompson said the introduction of short-term rate specials had proved very effective in attracting new business.
"When the six-month special was launched, we promised to hold it until the end of the month. We'll keep it open for the first week of May because we are still getting a big response from the home loan market."
Kiwibank is maintaining its floating rate on 5.65% p.a.

8gigs of ram for $25????? Now that is dirt cheap! I was just reading some of the user reviews at newegg and a few people are having problems with the rebate and clock speeds.
sick ssd!
Woo-hoo WTG talk about digging around for some HoT Deals looking like some SSD prices are getting to be about a buck a gig !
holy shyte that RAM is cheap!!! I'm starting to like these daily deals!!
Unfortunately my bf's pc can't be upgraded with that much RAM, we found that out after I won some KHX DDR3 2x4gb :( It sucks not being able to upgrade as much as we want/need without doing an overhaul :(
"I'll take it if you don't mind, LOL."
"That's a great price. Though a few weeks back, Frys had a deal for 4GB sticks at less than $4. The site remained crashed for a day after Logicbuy posted it."
"That's a great price. Though a few weeks back, Frys had a deal for 4GB sticks at less than $4. The site remained crashed for a day after Logicbuy posted it."
I agree great deals that SSD and memory are both pretty sweet.
@Manduh the mobo just won't handle it? or do you simply need a 64-bit OS to take advantage of the memory?
Just curious what it might have done when you tried to put that much ram in it.
I like the look and features of the Logitech, but I've had a few wireless keyboards. Maybe I just dodn't have good ones, but both would hot skip and jump from time to time. So they got booted. Well, still here in the corner with a pointy hat on top.
@omegadraco My bf has 64bit system but the problem is it WILL handle 8GB RAM but apparently it has to be 4x2GB. What I won it 2x4GB :( No sense putting it in if it won't recognize it :( I'm thinking about holding onto it until I look into it a bit more.
great deal on the memory
The memory is irrestiable; however I have to wonder if I'm going to risk mixing these memory sets in with my Corsairs. I mean I do have 2 sticks of Corsair in there and I'd doubt they'd get along together.
The SSD (while not a good deal as the other SSD's), definately is a good deal for the caliber for the card. I mean 28nm memory; that ought to amount to some performance right there!
Wow 8gb ram for only $24.99? That's incredibly cheap! That's less then half the price of most of the ram i see around nowadays o.o

With her strong beliefs and her social-media savvy, Rocha—on Oxygen's The Face—is a standout in her field
By Lindsay Silberman
The first thing that strikes you about Coco Rocha is, of course, her face. It has those perfect angles, the sharp, sculpted ones that seem to be a prerequisite for becoming a model. But before you can even process the rest of her otherworldly appearance—her flawless ivory complexion, her piercing blue eyes, her slim yet towering frame—you sense there's a certain depth to her, something a bit more complex.
We've arranged to chat over lunch at a casual cafe-bakery in Manhattan's Flatiron District. She arrives early, having taken the train in from New York's Westchester County. "I honestly don't mind it," she says about taking public transportation. "People do it in any other city. It feels normal." (She and her husband, muralist James Conran, moved there a year ago.)
As she enters the cafe, the 24-year-old doesn't walk so much as float—a skill she picked up from her years on the runway. And if the people sitting at the tables near us don't immediately recognize her, they probably whispered over their turkey sandwiches, "She has to be a model." Today, the massive fur coat, black pants and stilettos she's wearing are a dead giveaway.
Her first request is surprising: With autumn in the air, she's in the mood for pumpkin pie today, so would it be OK if she had a slice for lunch? The Canadian-born model has recently wrapped production for Oxygen's The Face, a new reality show (premiering February 12 at 9PM ET/PT) in which young women compete to become the face of Ulta Beauty. The show bills itself as giving a more realistic depiction of the challenges and demands of modeling than America's Next Top Model—a series notorious for its jumping-out-of-planes and posing-with-snakes theatrics. Rocha serves as a mentor and coach for a team of four fledgling models, who compete against squads led by supermodels Naomi Campbell and Karolina Kurkova. Every week, each team competes to win an actual job.
It's an opportunity the thoughtful, soft-spoken Rocha describes as "surreal," and understandably so. Her career—gracing the cover of Vogue, walking the runways at the Paris, Milan and New York fashion shows, appearing in ad campaigns for Chanel and YSL—is unusual for someone like her. Rocha is a devout Jehovah's Witness, as is her husband. "My faith is everything," she declares. Raised by her mother, Rocha has been a Jehovah's Witness her entire life, but she wasn't baptized until 2009—the religion requires that individuals be old enough to make their own decisions before committing.
Gracia Urbana (Urban Grace) - Vogue Mexico
December, 2012
My second editorial for next months Vogue Mexico took place in the center of the universe - aka - Times Square New York. Having shot everywhere from outside in the middle of a blizzard to a room literally on fire I can honestly say, here is probably no crazier place on earth for a model to shoot than Times Square in the middle of the day. All the tourists swarm and think you're Mickey Mouse, stopping to point or take your picture. I remember at one point all the girls and guys working at Sephora came out of the store and were my own personal cheer leaders, it was amazing. Dewey Nicks the photographer would sometimes use a very long camera lens so often I was posing like a mad-woman with no apparent photographer around, leaving everyone to wonder what on earth this crazy baroque-looking ballerina was doing flailing her arms and legs in every direction. As a side note, many years ago I worked with Dewey on a shoot in the pacific north west with my friend Behati Prinsloo (remember this cute picture?). We spent half our time running around the forest, hiding from production, and just generally acting like 12 year olds so I'm sure it took him at least this long to take me seriously again! haha.

Tuesday 17th December 2013 17:07@Everton
Everton Under-18s succumbed to a 3-1 home defeat at the hands of Sunderland on Tuesday afternoon.
A first-half brace from Black Cats forward Lynden Gooch and a strike from Ethan Robson ensured the visitors left Finch Farm with all three points.
A second-half George Green penalty offered some hope but it was not enough for the Young Blues who ultimately paid the price for some slack defending before the break.
The Sunderland's bright start was rewarded after seven minutes when Gooch slotted past Russell Griffiths in the Everton goal. Uncharacteristic sloppy play in the Blues' midfield was quickly seized upon by Martin Smith, who released Gooch to slide the ball past the on-rushing goalkeeper.
Everton created chances of their own and came closest to an equaliser when an inviting Green corner was diverted narrowly over the crossbar by Kieran Dowell from eight yards.
However, despite spending large periods of the opening period on the back foot, Sunderland doubled their lead with another goal from Gooch on the stroke of half-time.
A slide-rule ball sent through the heart of Everton's defence was picked up by Gooch 25 yards from goal. He beat a defender and slotted home to double his tally for the afternoon, via the inside of the post.
A rejuvenated Everton side fired out of the blocks in the opening exchanges of the second half and their assertiveness was rewarded ten minutes after the restart when they were awarded a penalty after a dazzling run from Arlen Birch down the right. George Green converted the spot-kick confidently, giving Sunderland stopper Peter Burke no chance, despite guessing the right way.
Kevin Sheedy's side looked to be in the ascendency, but were dealt another hammer blow when Robson restored Sunderland's two-goal cushion just three minutes later. The young midfielder found himself in space in the penalty area and made no mistake in dispatching past Griffiths to ultimately seal the win for the visitors.
Everton continued to knock at the Sunderland door and came closest when a stunning reverse pass from Green sent Tyrone Duffus through on goal. The midfielder could not find a way past Burke, who stood tall as Duffus looked set to get Everton back into the contest from five yards out.
After the game, manager Sheedy reflected on the disappointing defeat.
"We didn't do so well in the first half - we had the majority of the possession without creating any real chances," he told evertonfc.com
"It's disappointing to concede two sloppy goals. We got caught in possession twice and they've hit us on the counter attack both times. So, from totally dominating the first half, we found ourselves 2-0 down.
"We rallied in the second half and put the pressure on them, it was good to get the goal with plenty of time to go. But, again a lack of concentration meant a third goal from another counter attack.
"It just wasn't our day today.
"I can't fault the lads' efforts and determination to try and get back into the game and we played the right way with our passing. We'll dust ourselves down and learn from it."
Sheedy's team now face a trip to Middlesbrough on Saturday before a festive break in their schedule.

As someone who makes part of my living offering social media strategic and tactical services, the market's growth is definitely a good thing. There's nothing better than to be fishing where lots of fish are swimming.
But sometimes I wonder whether we're trying to fool the fish by wrapping social media in sparkly paper. With some spit and polish, social media is sold as the greatest thing since sliced bread, and then butter things up with lots of talks about engagement, relationships and conversations. And the funny thing is, most of this stuff gets eaten up.
Here's a good example. On Twitter yesterday, I saw a tweet raving about a blog post on four ways a Facebook Page could be successful. Since I'm spending a lot of time creating and customizing Facebook Pages for clients, I checked it out.
If you're curious about the four steps (drumroll, please), they are:
1. Have a compelling vision
2. Smart branding
3. Strategic inbound marketing
4. Real-time engagement
While the intention isn't about criticizing the author, this advice is hardly earth-shattering or arguably the secret sauce you might have expected. They're just commonsense for anyone doing digital marketing. Yet, these kind of posts are still enthusiastically embraced.
I'm not sure whether it suggests social media is still an immature market, or whether we – the social media sellers – are doing an amazing job of marketing social media as something new, different, mysterious and wonderful. It may be a little bit of the former and the latter.
To be honest, I'm somewhat conflicted about social media. On one hand, it's a new and different way to reach out to consumers and have real interactions. And it has changed how companies communicate, market and sell.
At the same time, social media are tools that can be deployed to communicate, market and sell. They're tools in the same way radio, television, newspapers, direct mail, billboards and e-mail are tools. Sure, social media is new and perhaps still pretty shiny but we're still talking about tools.
I don't want to be seen as someone raining on the social media parade but there still seems to be a lot of breathless enthusiasm out there, fuelled by people lucky enough to be ahead of the curve, at least for now.

The two pages with the really beautiful viking woodcut style Thunderdrum drawings. Sorry for my crappy handwriting; it says SEA CAVES not SEA CAVGS.
But can we talk about the beauty of the paper in this book? The water stains, the creases, the bloodstains on the bottom page, the page edges, this is paper porn (if that's a thing). If I didn't know it was from a movie, I'd probably think it was photos of a book!
Yay my birthday cake is finished!
Oh wow, I really love this! Nice job on the runes!

Hey if you're really good at word stuff like anagram kinda things message me cos I'm not clever enough to figure out what some of the words in the Book of Dragons could be.
So I've always meant to try translating the Book of Dragons, y'know, for easter eggs, like North's globe in RotG. Right when I started working, I cracked a smile at the dragon name. There's a few bits that make sense, but a lot is filler. Really simple filler, because it uses the actual futhark (viking) alphabet. In order. Slashes indicate letters that I couldn't identify by the way.
I haven't made any progress in my own book of dragons either, but I'm lazy. And I'm also working on River Song's journal and I want to get that done by the 50th Doctor Who anniversary first.
Inside cover/first page of the project! It reads:
Compiled by Bork the Bold
Revised by Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III and Fishlegs Ingerman
Dragon Classifications
Stoker Class
Boulder Class
Fear Class
Sharp Class
Tidal Class
Mystery Class
Strike Class
Guess what I'm making?
Painting the cover took forever. I got the outside border and half of the knot circle done a few weeks ago, then took a break because the circle is a pain and I just have to have a rhythm to do it, but I finished it and the crest an hour ago. The pages inside are conveniently on thick light yellow paper (which was the only kind of paper big enough) and I've sprinkled it with coffee to age it a little more and now my hands smell like coffee…
I'll be doing all dragons known (at this point) and writing it it in the Riders of Berk alphabet. But this will be a long project
because I can't draw dragons
I'll be tagging all of my progress as dm project (for dragon manual) so if you wanna see all of them together or whatever.
shh shh im so sorry i left you for so long
i swear ill get right on posting stuff on here after the trailer blows over a little more and the fandom quiets down
if we ever do
I wish I hadn't forgotten how to read runes when I learned it in grade school, it would be so cool to translate the Dragon Manual from the movie
my Norwegian Viking pride is is weakening
Well they are all just he English letters in runes so if you look up a chart on google you can translate it
Most of the stuff in the dragon manual that's little is just there to make it look fuller and is just nonsense, but the dragon names and other pieces the camera really focuses on is translatable.

Hey, so I want to keep this blog more professional, so I've made a new, more personal HTTYD blog for myself: norseatheart. From now on only norse-writing stuffs will be on this blog and other junk will be on my more personal blog.
So just finished How to Seize a Dragon's Jewel. Yeah, definitely dark for kids, especially since when I first heard about the book series I figured it was a 'fart jokes and an adventure' preteen boys book, but wow. I only started reading
well technically I listened to the first five on tape but it was David Tennant about two weeks ago and I think I just got my brother to try them (I think it being David Tennant convinced him). But yeah, planning on actually reading the first five for the pictures plus I was multitasking while listening so I didn't actually understand what was going on at some points.
PS: I'll get a picture of Camicazi (Holy Thor I love her) I've been working on up tomorrow night as a present for everyone since it's my birthday and stuff so it's a birthday present because I love you!

Debt Can Be Bad for Your Health (cont.)
"At that point," Cavazos continues, "I might say, 'Well, you are short $750 a month.'" The question then becomes, how do you increase income, decrease spending, or both?
"The clarity of doing this," says Langemeier, "creates calm. And from going from chaos to calm creates confidence."
Wealth Plan
"You need not only a debt plan, but a wealth plan," Langemeier contends. While consumer credit counselors will work with certain creditors, such as the major credit cards, to cut your interest and consolidate your payments into a single payment, you may simply need more money as well.
"Being $40,000 in debt," Langemeier says, "is like being 40 pounds overweight. It is a result of overconsumptive behavior. You have to face that."
Once your spending plan is in place (both counselors hate the word "budget"), Langemeier looks for ways to make more money. One way she likes is to get on an online auction site and sell things of value. "One doctor, who had a great income, got in trouble and sold his gun collection," she says. "Another woman cooks for parties. A teacher picks up tutoring clients."
She is a big believer in saving, even a little at first. With interest rates so low, finding a good place to park money is hard these days. Both counselors liked some Internet banks to gain higher rates.
They also recommend getting the free annual credit report from each credit bureau, an opportunity that recently became law and is being implemented across the country in stages.
No Cheating Allowed
Any debt reduction or income increase plan takes both discipline and sacrifice, as Cavazos points out.
Langemeier emphasizes changing spending behavior. "Spendaholics keep repeating the cycle."
Cavazos might let you cheat a little but in a positive way. "The conventional wisdom is to pay the highest interest card first," he says, "but if it makes you feel better to eliminate at least one card, pay the smallest balance first."
Then you can say, "I used to have eight credit cards, now I only have seven."
Just like the 40-pound weight gain, you didn't get in debt in a month or even a year. But you might get out much faster than a couple of decades. Cavazos says his counselors don't let you come out of the process with bad credit, either.
"I had clients hug me and say, 'I feel like a 1,000-pound weight came off me,'" Cavazos says.

Update: The world's legendary forecaster saw his shadow! That means we're in for another six weeks of winter. If winter means more days like today, or yesterday, I'm totally in!
Previously: Will the groundhog see his shadow?
It's Feb. 2 and that means it's Groundhog Day 2012. If the famous Punxsutawney woodchuck does not see his shadow than an early spring is expected, or so the tale goes.
I'm betting on an early spring. Although, we've enjoyed some unseasonably warm weather this winter so even if the groundhog sees his shadow, could another six weeks of this "winter" be that bad?

I was at the shops over the weekend where I picked up some nice bright items for my cupboard. Found these amazingly colourful 2-toned shoes from Woolworths, which I bought in a light blue and grey colour too. They also had a yellow pair which I think I might have to go back for.
I also found this red floral vest at Jay Jays which I really like.

i think that blue pair of shoes will need to become mine at some stage.
Are they suede?
They're very nice!

Preparing for Passover: Getting Rid of the Chametz
As we're busy here at The Kitchn spring cleaning with the Kitchn Cure, Jews all over the world are also busy preparing for Passover. This is the time to ritually clean your kitchens, and get rid of chametz - leavened bread and other foods that may not be eaten during the holiday.
Different people go to different lengths to prepare their houses - some are content to wipe down the counters and cover them with butcher paper, while others hunt around with a toothbrush, cleaning all crevices in the entire house. (You never know - you could accidentally dropped some bread in the upstairs light fixture!)
Whether you're an observant Jew or an atheist who's just looking for a clean house, spring cleaning makes sense. Outside, everything is in renewal, so it's time to dust everything off, and have a new clean slate. For Passover, it's likely company's coming, and it's so nice to have the entire house clean at once.
But does it make sense to both follow the Cure and kasher your kitchen for Passover? The Cure might inspire you to do a more thorough cleaning for Passover. It may have also helped you look more carefully at unused appliances and canned goods. And coming up, it will help you plan a heck of a dinner party.
Even if you're not following the Kitchn Cure, we'd love to help you with cupboard challenges as you try to use up your chametz. Here are two potential recipes: Sweet Potato Bread Pudding and Apple Walnut Bread Pudding.
How about you? If you're preparing your kitchen for Passover, how thorough do you try to be? Are you also following the Cure?
5 Comments
In Israel, all the major grocery stores are having huge sales on household cleaning supplies in preparation for the holiday. I personally love having Passover as an excuse to clean even though we eat bread all week.
Plus, everyone only works half-days throughout the holiday so it will be a great time for me to focus on Curing.
One year, I rented a room from a Jewish woman and she "sold" me all her bread foodstuffs for the Passover period. It all sat in a box in my sitting room and I was welcome to eat any of it, but only in my suite.
It was really interesting and educational to have a front-row view of a celebration I'd known nothing about, not to mention my first invitation to a seder!
I am following the cure, as well as preparing for Pesach. Now, my partner is not Jewish and doesn't keep Pesach, so while I clean the whole house/kitchen I don't get rid of all the chometz in the house- just anything belonging to me. I sell my remaining chometz to my partner, and I have my own sections of the kitchen (one cupboard, half the fridge, a shelf in the freezer, the oven, and two of the four stove burners).
I'd like to keep the whole house for Pesach, but I don't want to force my partner into it as it's just not fair I don't think.
I live in Midwood, Brooklyn - second only to Boro Park, so I am extremely familiar with the process... and I must say, for me, it is a huge disruption! Wee!
It can be next to impossible to clean your house for Passover if you have non-Jewish roommates. No disrespect - (I love my non-Jewish roommates) :) - but when it comes to Passover, there's just no way to ask *them* to get rid of all of the bread and such in the house for a week just b/c *you* aren't supposed to have it. I do the best I can to make a mental and physical separation from chametz (leavened stuff) without actually having a chametz-free kitchen.

Product review: Bagel Spice! »
I was at the NYCVFF, perusing the tables, when one of the vendors very kindly offered me a free bottle of Bagel Spice. I wasn't particularly interested in said Bagel Spice—I was just standing in its vicinity, eyeballing the Bee Free Honee.
I have a pretty extensive spice rack so my attitude was sort of, "Who needs you, Bagel Spice?" Plus it seemed sort of confusing. The website describes it like this:
Bagel Spice is a scrumptious blend of premium spices inspired by the "Everything Bagel." It's a delicious accompaniment to a variety of savory dishes.
Honestly, I wasn't even sure what to put it on. But the company seemed awful charming, and the ingredient list is totally au natural—all very real and whole foods go into this product—so I figured I should give it a whirl.
Initially I went for the obvious and put it on a delicious toasted bagel with some tofutti cream cheese. I have to say that it was very very good. Like surprisingly good. I want it on all of my bagels now.
It's quite yummy mixed in with hummus as well. That's how they were serving samples of it up at the NYCVFF, and it was totally good. The original Bagel Spice has no salt, but they make another blend with sea salt, as well as a spicy one, so you have options. What I like about the hummus concept is that I usually like to buy plain hummus, but then sometimes I wish I had a flavored one. Bagel Spice to the rescue! It's a nice addition to some hummus, and you don't have to commit to a whole container of the flavored stuff.
The third thing I did with the Bagel Spice was use it as a dry seasoning to make seitan nuggets. (I used the nugget recipe from Jenny's nugget post—it's great!) This is what ultimately made me a big Bagel Spice fan. These nuggets turned out awesome, and the Bagel Spice was an essential addition of zest. I used the no-sodium original, so it wasn't too salty or overly spicy; it just added a ton of gusto. There's some nice chunkiness with the dried onions and poppy seeds too, which added a great crispy texture on the outside.
It is definitely an awesome addition to any breading you're making that requires a dry spice. I will probably use it in this capacity most. I'm also gonna suggest that it would be fabulous on a tofu scramble, garlic bread, salads, etc. You could even make some wicked fast pasta by tossing it in a little olive oil then sprinkling on some Bagel Spice. The possibilities are endless!
Bottom line, I am super impressed with Bagel Spice. They totally converted me from an uninterested skeptic to someone who will definitely keep this on hand. It's tasty and versatile, and dang it, I like it.
You can order Bagel Spice via its website** and it's also available in a few stores. If you try it and like it, ask your favorite stores to carry it. I'm all about pestering stores to carry things I like. I'm pretty sure my friend Michael is solely responsible for Fresh Direct carrying Daiya. The squeaky wheel, people: It gets the grease.
**This is totally not a vegan company, and there are pictures of eggs and chicken wings on their website. Their whole recipe section is disappointing. However, they do seem to exclusively produce Bagel Spice, and they're certified kosher, so I'm assuming their facility is meat- and dairy-free.

San Francisco Herb Company »
Please dispel a myth for me: please tell me you have heard of and shop at the San Francisco Herb Company. Presently I'm under the impression that I am one of five people who know about this little treasure, and I have such a big head about it, and it needs deflating.
Vegansaurus is both an eating and a living guide, and without SFHC you are not living as well as you could be. At this delightful store, open just 10 to 4 Monday through Saturday, you can buy all the herbs and spices your heart desires, in bulk, on the super-duper cheap. Tell me, how can you go wrong with that? You cannot, is how!
If you're especially smart, you'll know that you can freeze herbs and spices to keep them fresh, so you can buy a package of cumin or cinnamon or fines herbes the size of a baby without the risk of losing it to staleness. Amazing, right? YES, YES IT IS.
SFHC carries wonderful things for baking, like arrowroot and cream of tartar; also pints of almond, vanilla, and lemon extracts for just under $11 each. I'll give you a minute to recover from your understandable shock; who knew quality extracts could come so inexpensively? Not you, until now!
You can buy catnip, for sending your kitties on harmless and hilarious drug trips. For people who can stand this sort of thing, SFHC sells pre-mixed potpourri and ingredients for making your own blends. This is not my pleasure—potpourri being the devil's perfume and all—but if it's yours, this is a good place to purchase some.
As for specific recommendations, you absolutely must get some smoked paprika. I know ordinary paprika isn't much besides pretty red powder, but smoked paprika is a miracle spice: it makes your cooking taste meaty. What? YES. Add it to your lentils, to your tofu, to your anything you want to taste barbecue-ier and to which you want to impart a deeper and more complex flavor. Smoked paprika: spice of the now. If you need more advice, the staff of San Francisco Herb Company will definitely give you their experienced opinions.
Herbs and spices are expensive, which sucks, because without them, your cooking is bland and terrible, which tends to deter you from cooking, but eating out all the time is expensive too, so what do you do? You buy your herbs and spices from San Francisco Herb Company, saving lots of money, improving your cooking, and letting you spend that saved money in nicer, more delicious restaurants than the closest/cheapest taqueria.

Spain thrash Ireland; Italy, Croatia draw
Warsaw: Two goals from rejuvenated forward Fernando Torres helped Spain knock Ireland out of the European Championship on Thursday, and Italy drew 1-1 with Croatia to leave Group C finely balanced.
Torres was recalled to replace Cesc Fabregas up front and scored in the fourth and 70th minutes as Spain outclassed Ireland to win 4-0 in Gdansk, Poland.
However, the defending champion can still be eliminated depending on results in the final group games on Monday.
Elsewhere, Denmark forward Nicklas Bendtner was criticized by team officials for his goal celebration Wednesday which revealed an unofficial sponsor's name on his underpants.
UEFA fined Germany for its fans' uncharacteristic behavior - hurling paper missiles at Portugal players - and a court in Warsaw sent more Poles to prison for violence on the city's streets on Tuesday.

The Lake sheriff's communications center is so crowded that many dispatchers can't roll their chairs back far enough from their desks to stand up.
Clearly, the communications center must be expanded.
An opportunity emerged after Lake commissioners considered that the county's round courthouse, where the makeshift emergency operations center is housed, has skylights that have leaked during heavy rains. The idea: combine communications and emergency operations for a more secure, efficient operation, both daily and during emergencies.
When Lake commissioners considered that the county's round courthouse in Tavares where the makeshift emergency operations center is located has skylights that have leaked during heavy rains, an opportunity emerged: combine communications and emergency operations for a more secure, efficient operation, both daily and during emergencies.
That's a short version of how the commissioners came to vote in March to build a new emergency operations center that would combine communications for the sheriff and the six cities for which he dispatches; dispatch for fire and ambulance services, which are in rented space in Mount Dora; and offices for the emergency operations folks, who don't have a real center.
The price tag for the building to be constructed near the judicial-center expansion is $9 million —$4.5 million of it from a state grant. Sweet. The other half is coming from sales taxes returned to the county by the state. That revenue stream holding its own, even in this economic downturn.
Already, the county has laid out $500,000, mostly to design the building, and is moving along with a domino chain of renovations that the moves will cause as other crowded operations move into the space being vacated.
So, why would Commissioner Sean Parks, the swing vote on the matter, now say that he wants to reconsider his decision and put the sales-tax money toward economic development, thereby wasting a half million already spent?
Who knows? Parks did not respond requests to explain his position.
Economies of scale
What is clear is that the commissioner didn't bother to look very deeply into the issue before throwing that explosive suggestion to his colleagues. Certainly, there were reasons back in March to vote against building an emergency operations center. The county does need a center, but was it No. 1 on the priority list nine months ago? Probably not. That would have been the time to vote no.
Now that taxpayer cash has been spent, backing out would be irresponsible, especially considering that the county wasted another $860,000 starting and then stopping an earlier project that included an emergency operations center four years ago. Is it really a good idea to fritter away $1.4 million on indecision?
Let's take a deeper look at what Lake really could save if Parks decides he wants to halt the project. Keep in mind that Lake taxpayers are getting an emergency operations center for half price — $4.5 million.
Now, factor in what the county would have to keep paying in rent if commissioners decide not to build the center. About $30,000 a year goes to climate-controlled, secure data storage that maintains all the county's official financial records, and another $17,000 a year is spent on rent for the ambulance service's communications center, which also handles countywide fire dispatch.
So, each year that the emergency operations center is not built, the county must figure nearly $50,000 in rent for operations things that would have been moved into the new building.
And then, there are the sheriff's problems.
Six cities contract with Borders' office for dispatch services, and several more have been exploring the possibility of the sheriff handling dispatch because he typically can provide it more cheaply, thanks to the economies of scale.
