Rembrandt Pussyhorse is the second full-length studio album by American experimental rock band Butthole Surfers, released in April 1986. All songs were written and produced by Butthole Surfers, except "American Woman", which was written by Randy Bachman, Burton Cummings, Jim Kale, and Garry Peterson of The Guess Who, and "Perry", which borrows the tune from the theme music to the old Perry Mason TV show starring Raymond Burr.
The album was originally released on Touch and Go, and was reissued on Latino Buggerveil in 1999. Both Touch and Go & Latino Buggerveil's CD versions of the album include 1985's Cream Corn from the Socket of Davis EP.
Rembrandt Pussyhorse is one of the most experimental releases in Butthole Surfers' considerably experimental catalog. Making heavy use of in-studio tape editing and sound modulation, the album adds piano, organ, and violin, amongst other sounds, to Butthole Surfers' then-usual battery of electric guitar, bass, and dual drummers. According to guitarist Paul Leary and lead vocalist Gibby Haynes, Butthole Surfers were a four-piece for most of these sessions, with Leary playing the majority of the basslines.
However, not all the new instrumentation was performed by the band. The piano on "Creep in the Cellar", written by Haynes, and the organ on "Perry" were played by the recording studio's owner, who offered free studio time in exchange for being included on the album.
Also of note is the violin heard on "Creep in the Cellar." This was the result of Butthole Surfers purchasing a used 16-track tape, on which a country & western band had previously recorded. Upon playing their mix of "Creep in the Cellar," the band discovered they had inadvertently kept one of the country band's channels, which contained a backwards violin track. Liking the way it worked with the song, they opted to keep it. They were also too tired to care about editing it out.
Finally, the growls on "Mark Says Alright" are from a pit bull that the band owned at the time, named Mark Farner, after the musician Mark Farner of the band, Grand Funk Railroad.[4]
Drummer King Coffey said that Rembrandt Pussyhorse was originally intended as an EP, but eventually evolved into a full-length album. Recording took place over a number of months and in a handful of studios (primarily one in San Antonio, Texas) to fit into the band's then-grueling touring schedule. Most of the songs were recorded on 16-track equipment.[5]
The album was finished prior to 1985's Cream Corn from the Socket of Davis and, according to Coffey, was primarily recorded in 1984, approximately four months after the sessions for Psychic... Powerless... Another Man's Sac. Like its predecessor, this album was also originally intended for release on Alternative Tentacles, though with a different mix, song selection, and title (Rembrandt Pussy Horse). However, after delaying for nearly a year, the label refused to release it. Though it eventually surfaced on Touch and Go, its release was further delayed when the band opted to record the songs "Sea Ferring" and "Mark Says Alright" to replace "To Parter" and "Tornadoes," rather than recycle them after their inclusion on the Cream Corn... EP.[6][7] Outtakes from those sessions can be found on 2002's Humpty Dumpty LSD. The track 'Strangers Die Everyday' is used during the end credits of Richard Linklater's film 'Slacker.'

If money was no object, where would you like to live in the world?
Back to romance this week. Marliss Melton is a favorite author of mine, so been excited to have time to read this novella, Code of Silence.
Ophelia Price is keeping big secrets from her Navy SEAL husband. If Vinny knew she was pregnant, he might hinder her efforts to expose the corrupt lieutenant governor of Pennsylvania, a man intent on keeping his criminal actions hidden and buried in the past. Sniffing out corruption is what Ophelia does best. Becoming a mother?—That's a job she feels unfit to fill. But when her target catches wind of her intent and Ophelia becomes his prey, she realizes too late what she values most.
It's not until his wife goes missing that Vinny discovers she's kept him intentionally in the dark. He never would have imagined she'd betray his trust so deeply, jeopardizing everything he holds dear. Can he forgive her, or will Ophelia pay the ultimate price for deceiving her soul mate?
Oh yeah, I'm totally in for this ride.

Do you have a favorite scented candle? #luvcandles
Major Erich Stark swore under his breath as a woman shot out from the back of Atlantis and damn near ran over him. As it was, she hit him dead on and he grabbed her arm to not only steady her but also keep her from falling to the ground.
"Easy there," he drawled.
Her head jerked up and he found himself gazing into a pair of dark brown eyes framed by thick black lashes. Smooth mocha skin covered her lithe body. A heart shaped face with a flatter, cute button nose. Full, tempting lips were parted in shock and surprise.
"Con permiso," she mumbled in a raspy alto voice and stepped out of his hold.
Erich's gaze skimmed her and he couldn't stop the flare of desire. She wore a pair of white cotton pants, which sat low on her hips and a gold cutoff shirt that exposed flat, defined abdominals and the shapely tuck of her waist. Damn! She's in awesome shape. Still, none of it took away from her femininity. "No problem," he said, not minding at all how she felt in his arms. "You new here? I don't ever remember seeing you dance here before."
Her arched brows snapped together and her chin lifted in haughty arrogance. "Excuse me?" she barked in English.
He pointed to the building she'd just vacated. "The Atlantis. You just came from the back, like employees do. So I'll ask again, are you new here?"
Erich fought the urge to shuffle his feet as her gaze seared him. No woman since his mother had ever wielded the power to make him squirm. Until now. She raked her gaze from the top of his head down to his boots and back up again.
"And I suppose you know all of the ladies that work there, don't you?" she asked in a sharp tone.
Her condescension raised his hackles. "You have a problem with men going to these places and yet you're coming out of one? How else do you earn money if you don't have patrons?"
"I'm surprised you would recognize my face at all. I'm sure that's not what you're used to paying attention to."
She's mighty snippy. Not that it mattered to Erich. He liked his women with fire. The desire to needle her a bit more roared over him with the force of a gale . Dropping his gaze he stared at her open toed sandals and smiled at the metallic green polish on her toes. A gold chain with small bells circled her left ankle. And around her right one was a tattoo he longed to get a closer look at.
"Tonight your first night?" he queried. I'm coming back to see you dance, whoever you are.
"You know, not everyone who leaves an establishment like this…a gentleman's club…works in one. Some women are capable of and actually enjoy making a living without gyrating around a pole, and having men leer at them."
She pushed by him and Erich turned and watched her walk to a waiting convertible and jump in over the door. A low growl left him when he saw the handsome younger man at the wheel kiss her cheek then drive them both away.
"Hey Erich," the sound of a voice pulled his head back around. It belonged to Donovan "Livewire" Leegen, friend and pilot.
"Donovan, what's up?" he asked his friend.
"You know Bliss?" his friend questioned, peering past him in the direction the car had left.
"Bliss?" Erich's body hardened as the vixen's image popped back into his mind. Bliss. That is a damn good name for her. What's Donovan doing here?
"Yes, Bliss. The dancer." Donovan frowned at him. "Dude, you were just talking to her. Hot as all get-out. A body made for—"
Narrowing his eyes at his friend, Erich ground out in a tone laced with death, "If you value your life, Captain Leegen, you'll refrain from completing that sentence."
His fists were clenched at his sides and he longed to smash one into Donovan's face. Hell, why not both? It didn't make sense, but he wanted nothing more than to stop the phrase coming from the other man's mouth. Preferably with a violent manner. Bliss, if that was her name, was his.
Donovan arched a blond brow at him and crossed his arms. "What does it matter to you what I say about her?"
"She. Is. Mine."
"Since when?"
The second she walked into my arms. Setting his jaw, Erich lifted a brow of his own and stared at Donovan. He wasn't backing down from this. Granted he hadn't known her for a longer than about two minutes, and that hadn't even included a formal introduction. But it didn't matter.
"Don't fuck with me on this, Leegen," he bit off.
Green eyes narrowed. "Jesus, Daredevil, you're serious."
"Deadly." Erich didn't even flinch at the use of his call name.

After more than a decade of patiently waiting, my fellow 13 Going on 30 diehards have reason to rejoice. Today, Deadline has the exclusive that all of our steadfast prayers have at last been answered, and that a stage musical adaptation of the 2004 Jennifer Garner vehicle is headed to Broadway.

The Pentatonix are known for their amazing acapella performances, but here two of the five take your favorite hip hop song lyrics and sing them in the style Broadway...
In an earlier story last month, I told you of how we had the opportunity to see Deaf West Theatre's 'Spring Awakening' directed by our nephew, Michael Arden. Now it turns out we will get to see it in New York as the show is going to Broadway!

Tracking and stocking essential medication are challenges for many African countries. People living in rural areas often don't have access to primary health care facilities, and even if they do, facilities frequently run out of essential medicines. To address this problem, Kaduna State Ministry of Health, the third most populous region in Nigeria, Vodacom and Novartis have implemented SMS for Life 2.0, an mHealth programme.
SMS for Life 2.0 isn't a new concept. It builds on the SMS for Life programme launched by Novartis in 2009, which used cell phones to manage stock-outs of malaria medicines in more than 10,000 healthcare facilities across sub-Saharan countries says an article in eHealthNews.
Pharmi web has the Novartis press release. It says SMS for Life 2.0 uses smartphones and tablet computers to improve access to medicines and increase disease surveillance, helping to provide better care for patients. It also builds on its success and introduced eLearning for local health workers.
SMS for Life 2.0 allows healthcare workers to track stock levels for HIV, TB and leprosy treatments, and antimalarial vaccinations. It also allows them to send notifications to district medical officers when stock levels are low, ensuring adequate and timely supplies of all essential medicines.
SMS for Life 2.0 will also:
- Monitor disease surveillance parameters of maternal and infants deaths, malaria, yellow fever and cholera
- Improve stock visibility which will improve supply chain management, by allowing authorities to improve demand forecasts for the treatments
- Facilitate health workers' training in local facilities using eLearning modules
- Improve healthcare by better access to essential medicines so reducing disease prevalence in communities
Zambia's Ministry of Health has recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Novartis to roll out SMS for Life 2.0 to some 2,000 health facilities. It'll start in 2017.

Here's Ashton Kutcher as Steve Jobs
A new promo photo for the upcoming independent film about Steve Jobs shows Ashton Kutcher bearing an uncanny resemblance to the former Apple CEO, who passed away from pancreatic cancer in October 2011.
The Sundance Institute released the image and a deeper synopsis of the flick — titled jOBS — on Monday.
"The true story of one of the greatest entrepreneurs in American history, jOBS chronicles the defining 30 years of Steve Jobs' life," reads the synopsis. "jOBS is a candid, inspiring and personal portrait of the one who saw things differently."
jOBS will premiere at the Sundance Film Festival as the closing night film in January. The promo image is a play on this photograph of Jobs on desk during his early Apple days:
Kutcher, who stars in CBS's Two and a Half Men, previously played roles on Fox'sThat '70s Show and in films such as The Butterfly Effect, No Strings Attached, Valentine's Day and Dude, Where's My Car?
Do you think Kutcher makes a good Steve Jobs? If not, who else do you think should have played the role?

What are the best and easiest to use self tanners?
What are the best and easiest to use self tanners?
I travel overseas on occasion, and will be unable to get my light bi-weekly tanning session in.
Title says it all, whats the best and easiest to use self tanners?
Im not interested in oral drugs such as melatonin II or other supplement tanners, just something applied externally.
This message was paid for by the Russians - 11-08-2010, 08:49 PM
Just use a moistorizer that helps enhance your skin's natural melanin levels and darken your colour as you use it. There's quite a few good ones out there from brands like L'Oreal Paris, Garnier, etc. - I personally like and use L'Oreal Paris' Sublime Bronze Self Tanning SPF 15 Medium Natural Tan or Sublime Glow Daily Moisturizer + Natural Skin Tone Enhancer (Medium) if I feel like I'm getting too pale.

f*ck melanotan II.
That sh*T is horrible.
I have a whole bottle in my freezer.
It KILLS appetite, makes you feel like you are hung over, gives you dizzy spells, gives you raging wood for no reason, and makes ANY scares/bumps turn super dark, not to mention any moles go STRAIGHT black. - 11-13-2010, 08:59 AM
Those products (I found three) look good, but doesn't it get expensive applying the stuff all the time? The L'Oreal website suggests two times a week, with occasional touch-ups as needed.
(it doesn't list the prices of their products, but I'm sure they are are not cheap!) -
They're not expensive at all - no more than what a daily body moisturizer (which I think one should use anyways) costs. I used them daily when I require more of a tan, instead of a body moisturizer, since they act as one. You don't have to use them all the time, just when you want to.

Yeah, and in my case its really when Im traveling that I need it so I wouldnt be spending much money at all.
Do you use it on your face Rosie?
Also, is it light scented? And do you think using it only at night is efficient? I just hate carrying a scent with me, lolThis message was paid for by the Russians - 11-17-2010, 06:02 AM
Also, does shaving make the product fade faster?
I would guess that it would, as I am sure a small layer of skin comes off with one's hair while shaving (body and/or face). - 11-18-2010, 10:41 AM
I never use it on my face - I have very sensitive skin and I stick to only certain products on my face.
It has a scent, yes - whether one would call it light or strong is individual-dependent.
Applying only at night is fine, IMO. Just leave it on for ~8 hours before having a shower, and apply immediately post-shower, after having exfoliated pre-shower, to make it last longer.
I never found that, no.

My wife is an aesthetician and does everything she can to keep her skin looking perfect, she wont set foot in a tanning bed. She constantly gets compliments on her tan, it's a rub on. She uses the st tropez self tanner.
The one she has pumps out like foam, so im assuming its the mousse version.
I'm not sure if the one they carry at the spa is stronger then the retail version, I vaguely remember it saying level 3 or stage 3 or something on the bottle.
I've used it a couple times myself, looks 100% natural, no orange.
It does look kinda splotchy at first when you apply it, that goes away after you shower and it ends up looking nice and even. she usually puts it on before bed and showers in the morning.

Distributed memory systems for simulating artificial neural networks

In executing tasks involving intelligent information processing, the human brain performs better than the digital computer. The human brain derives its power from a large number $[O(10^{11})]$ of neurons which are interconnected by a dense interconnection network $[O(10^5)$ connections per neuron]. Artificial neural network (ANN) paradigms adopt the structure of the brain to try to emulate the intelligent information processing methods of the brain. ANN techniques are being employed to solve problems in areas such as pattern recognition, and robotic processing. Simulation of ANNs involves implementation of large number of neurons and a massive interconnection network. In this paper, we discuss various simulation models of ANNs and their implementation on distributed memory systems. Our investigations reveal that communication-efficient networks of distributed memory systems perform better than other topologies in implementing ANNs.

BEREA, Ohio -- Browns running back Trent Richardson is doing everything right as a rookie.
He looks fast. He looks elusive making cuts. He just doesn't look totally comfortable during Browns mandatory minicamp.
Known for being one of the most physical running backs in college, Richardson is itching for training camp when he can take his first hit.
"I've never went so long without having pads on," Richardson said after non-contact practice. "I know it's a different system where you have to take care of your body. I really can't wait to put my pads on."
Richardson will take his share of hits in the regular season. With a rookie quarterback, the Browns are expected to lean heavily on Richardson and their running game.
Browns coach Pat Shurmur said Wednesday that the days of a running back carrying the entire load for a season are over. But there's no talk of the Browns going to a running back by committee. Richardson should expect 300 carries this season, which would be about 20 attempts per game.
"I think you're seeing a situation now where teams have one, two or three guys that contribute in some way," Shurmur said. "Whoever the starter is will get most of the reps. The other guys will come in on special situations or in a backup-type role and get their production then."
Barring an injury, the starter is going to be Richardson. The Browns traded up to the No. 3 overall pick to get the Alabama running back, and teammates believe he's surpassed expectations so far."
"Everybody knew he was fast and strong and makes good reads," offensive tackle Joe Thomas said. "I've been impressed with how smart he is and how few mental mistakes he makes as a rookie."

Harris' Frog Birthday Party
Harris' birthday party was "toad"ally awesome! He had a great time with his friends and I had a great time planning the party. Forgive the long post but I really want to document all of the details (it's the details that make me giddy... I know five year olds don't really care but I do!). We set the tone of the party with the invitations and it was easy to come up with lots of ways to incorporate frogs into our day.
The Food
Creating this table was my favorite part of the party! I love Amy Atlas and her sweet table designs so that was my inspiration. I wanted to try to do a kid friendly, kid sized sweet table. On the table we had frog lollipops, gummi frogs, decorated sugar cookies, green M&M's, "pond water", green apple licorice sticks to use as straws and the cake.
The lollipops were super easy to make, and I think they turned out really adorable. I got it in my head that I wanted a lollipop stand so I made one using these instructions. It was easy and really cute.
The cookies had mini M&M's on them and sugar eyes. I already had the cookie cutter... we have a lot of frog things!
We usually have this bowl full of gummi frogs sitting on our kitchen counter so I didn't even have to buy them especially for the party.
The Cake
Bryce and I made and decorated the cake together- and we weren't even up too late doing it!
The Activities
We started the party by reading The Frog House by Mark Taylor. We then made frog houses out of terra cotta pots. The children painted them on the outside using paint made for terra cotta. (Before you judge me for having entirely too much time on my hands in which I made miniature banners for the homes please remember that we were home sick for 4 days!)
We went outside to catch flies (disguised as bubbles) with our frogs whose tongues were party blowers. Harris and I made the craft before the party.
Leap frog was played.
As was "leap on Daddy."
The Favors
The Guests
Really, what makes a party are the guests. I wanted to try to keep the party small so Harris was allowed to invite 5 friends (since he is five) which made the party fun and not too crazy (can you put a group of boys in a room and not have it be a little crazy?)! Of course, Grandma was in attendance and we were thrilled to have Leah (Bryce's sister) and Aaron to come as well. They always make a special effort to come for family events and it's appreciated! Plus, it was fun to see her looking so great at 7 months pregnant!

Microbial Dark Matter single cell genomics protocol published
- Details
- Hits: 2010
The technique employed to extract and amplify the DNA from single microbial cells for the microbial dark matter study is now detailed in a Nature Protocols. We describe all necessary steps from sample preservation and preparation, to single cell separation, fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS), cell lysis and finally the whole genome amplification.
The procedure takes four days, can be perfomerd in a standard molecular biology lab, and yields up to a microgram of DNA per single microbial cell, an amount considered "suitable" for PCR amplification and shotgun sequencing. And please note, that although the protocol was applied to microbial cells, it can also be adapted for microbial eukaryotes and mammalian cells.

Forum topic by WhoMe | posted 07-31-2011 08:42 PM | 7426 views | 0 times favorited | 9 replies |
I am looking for a set of useable starter wood chisels that I can purchase as a decent set until I really need quality tools after I have improved m woodworking skills (and when I have more money available for hand tools) . Right now I have a inherited set that are best used for pry bars or doorstop wedges. I did a search on the Stanley 5002s on LJ and looked elsewhere on the web but was unable to find any reviews. So, anyone have any background info on these. OR, possibly a comparable set that has 6 pieces or so and less than $75. Thanks for any input. -- I'm not clumsy..

The linked Narex 6 pc set is only $49.99 and is a crowd favorite "cheap" chisel. Edit to add: Did you notice the Woodriver set on clearance for $75?? Might be worth considering, although I don't know much about them. Craftsman also sells a 6pc set that many have regarded as "pretty good". Around $30. The Stanley set you're looking at are probably adequete in terms of quality. But nothing more than adequete. Be prepared to sharpen them more often than a higher quality tool, and be prepared for some minor manufacturing defects. But I'm sure you can work wood with them. |

I really like my narex bench chisels once I got the backs flat. Flattening the backs was a bit miserable… once i switched to 80 grain self adhesive sandpaper flattening the backs went better. -- nordichomey |

Thanks guys. I will take a look at those narex ones. At this point, anything is better than what I have but I would prefer to pick them up locally. -- I'm not clumsy..

These starter sets are just that—starter sets. The price is right, also for Lee Valley's Narex intro offer. Those chisels renown for better quality really are the better—long run—route. I've got a beater set of Stanley FatMax chisels. They take and hold a sharp edge really well. But their big, bulky, and uncomfortable for most finer hand work. For pounding, their great—they definitely take a beating. I've finally bought a better quality set (gulp, that was expensive) but do they ever handle superbly. BTW, that's not an overstatement. Once I bought quality, I knew what "quality" was supposed to be. My 1/4 through 5/8 see more work than 3/4 up. My 3/4 is used more than a 1" and I reach for a 1 1/2 or 2" chisel for odd chops more than for 1—1 1/4. I have a 1/8 but it doesn't get used nearly as much as I thought. Just my observations.

As far as ease of local pickup goes, hit up Lowes/HD for some blue-handled Irwin or Marples. I've seen two-cherries at my local ACE. I've got some really expensive chisels but I reserve them for important projects that I want to hand-tool only. It's more nostalgia than function. I love and collect nice chisels but the cheap ones see the most use in my shop. Like any cheap tool, be prepared to sharpen them. On a budget, the scary sharp system and a cheap eclipse jig is your best bet. You can get all the supplies at the big box stores with maybe a quick trip to autozone or the equivalent. If you need instruction, PM me. When I drop an expensive chisel onto the concrete floor, my gut wrenches. When I drop a big box chisel onto the floor, I think, "dammit, now I gotta sharpen that stupid thing". -- My dad and I built a 65 chev pick up.I killed trannys in that thing for some reason-Hog |

WhoMe – I was exactly in the same boat last week. Only difference is that I pulled the trigger on the Stanley 5002s, 8 piece set from woodcraft for $49. Hard to argue with. The only review I found was the following: http://www.finewoodworking.com/ToolGuide/ToolGuideProduct.aspx?id=5550 . Not very helpful, basically says they're equivalent to Irwin Marples. Good enough for me at that price. Haven't had opportunity to put to real use yet. Woodcraft doesn't offer the professional sharpening option on them. I, like you, saw an opportunity there. There's definitely some machine marks on the metal work. However, nothing near the edges that I've seens. Took me only a few strokes on 400 grit on the backs to get even wear marks (flat). Glad to be told I'm an idiot, I'm just a beginner too. -- "people these days know the price of everything and the value of nothing", my goal is the opposite |
#8 posted 08-04-2011 05:26 AM |
owning the steel is easy the difference that I have found, is that few who have spent so much on good steel, have the ability to maintain their edge, to the point of shaving your face with them talk is cheap I own the best, mind you, I could shave your two faces with mine, only one with yours. How many times do you shave a day ? ………… -- "Good artists borrow, great artists steal"…..Picasso |

James Mweemba - Guide
James has been guiding since 2009, he started working in safari camps as a waiter and then discovered his passion for the bush. His favourite activity is canoeing, he loves getting out on the water and his best sighting was spotting his very first Aardvark at Old Mondoro in his first month with us after working in the bush for 10 years.
He has since seen his first pangolin at Old Mondoro (during the day time!) which he had always hoped to see but never thought he would. His favourite animal is the leopard which means he is working at the right camp! And he really enjoys birding.
Marshal Karafa - Guide
Marshal was born on the banks of the Zambezi River, starting off as a barman and working his way up to canoeing and game drive guide.
He loves to travel and aside from being passionate about his profession, especially canoeing, he has been fortunate enough to travel around both Africa and Europe - his favourite travels to date took him tracking gorillas in Uganda.

Currently I'm working on my very own game using the stencyl engine (love it so far). For those who dont know the jmonkey engine it allows you to create games like 3079 (from what I've heard thats what phr00t used to make 3079) Stencyl engine is the same but it works only for flash games but its really easy to use. Currently Im trying out rin's quest right now, I'd really like to play some multiplayer for 3079 but I dont know any addresses to hook up to (If your starting a multiplayer server and I'm online I'll be glad to join you). Currently I've just expanded my gaming from 5 games to 6 :D. I encourage you to try out Dead meets lead (Its Full version is free!!) you can find a product code at its official website.
I agree, all those 20 dollar anime games were not what I expected of desura (dont get me wrong im sure there very fun games) I love this kind of layout for the game, reminds me of 8 bit hero.
Take on quests and eventually you will find a quest that has a demon smiter, (dont worry if you pass level 5 when trying to get the demon smiter, It allows levels over it.)
I like the trees, I survived 2 capital ships head on because of one.
I tryed the goggles, camo and gravity technique, now I'm practicaly impossible to kill.
Its like that to tell what ship your in, and kinda gives it a lack of perifial vision, giving it a more realistic outlook

The Wife has her uses. Some time ago, our friends Dave and Maria gave us a recipe for muesli that they, in turn, had got from some health nut down in Australia. At first, it seemed a lot of trouble to make and I would not have fitted the category of health nut. However, it was pretty tasty and the Wife decided to make it again. And again. And again. And again. You get the picture. In fact, over the nineteen years since we first made it, we have enjoyed this for our breakfast most days. That got me thinking…
We make it, on average, every three weeks. We have been doing that for over 19 years. Let's run through the ingredients and the maths so you can get a clearer picture:
Muesli Ingredients |
Weight in kilos |
Used in 1 year |
Used in 19 years |
Almonds | 0.15 | 2.60 | 49.40 |
Coconut | 0.10 | 1.73 | 32.93 |
Wheatgerm | 0.08 | 1.30 | 24.70 |
Jumbo Oats | 0.30 | 5.20 | 98.80 |
Cashew Nuts | 0.12 | 2.08 | 39.52 |
Hazelnuts | 0.10 | 1.73 | 32.93 |
Linseed | 0.10 | 1.73 | 32.93 |
Sunflower Seeds | 0.10 | 1.73 | 32.93 |
Pumpkin Seeds | 0.10 | 1.73 | 32.93 |
Raisins & Sultanas | 0.20 | 3.47 | 65.87 |
Dried Cranberries | 0.10 | 1.73 | 32.93 |
Dried Apricots | 0.10 | 1.73 | 32.93 |
Honey | 0.50 | 8.67 | 164.67 |
Total | 2.05 | 35.45 | 673.49 |
Given that we have been doing this for so long, I know you want to know how to do it. FIrst you need to chop just under 50 kilos of almonds.
American Side Note: For our American cousins, the rough calculation is 2.2 pounds per kilo. For the less bright amongst you (American or otherwise) that's just over twice as much!
Next you need to grate just under 33 kilos of coconut block and add just over 24 kilos of wheat germ.
Stir these together and bake in a moderate oven for fifteen minutes.
Use the time that these are in the oven to chop the hazelnuts using a small knife. Yes, 33 kilos of hazelnuts.
Get your hands on 40 kilos of cashew nuts as well.
These need to be crushed a bit while you are heating the half the oat flakes for ten minutes on an oven tray.
Add the first three ingredients when they are both warmed, do the next bit of mixing.
The stirring gets more difficult as the weight gets added. Or so the Wife tells me.
This is the first of the action shots. I am surprised that the Wife doesn't have bigger arms.
You have to love the pouring shot. Though it is easy enough to capture the gloopy honey as it drips slowly down.
The stirring gets more difficult as the honey mixes in. It starts to look a bit like muesli at this stage, so we confidently add the 33 kilos of flax seeds.
More stirring next before the beautiful pumpkin and sunflower seeds go in. 66 kilos between the two.
More stirring needed. Just before she does, you have just enough time to admire the smooth pour of the seeds.
When they are stirred, we (she) add the other half of the oats. Cue action shot number three.
Yes, you have guessed right more stirring needed. Then we (she) do a bit of chopping and add the remaining ingredients.
It's easy enough for you looking at this, you have not had to chop up 33 kilos of dried apricots. However, when it's all done, it is worth the effort (particularly as the Wife is the one making the effort.).
All stirred in and ready to have with yoghurt, and fruit.In the Wife's and my opinion, this is the best way to start the day. If we thought otherwise would we have eaten over 600 kilos of it over the last 19 years? Another calculation. I reckon that I have enjoyed it with over 6,500 bananas in that time. Mmmm…. Tasty!
One final calculation and to sum up as it were, I reckon I owe the Wife a debt of gratitude. That's a hell of a lot of chopping, baking and stirring. Thanks Wife!

When choosing wallpaper, there are more things to consider than just colour and pattern. There are different types of wallpaper and each has a different type of coating. Some kinds of wallpaper were specifically designed to only go in certain areas of the house. Plus, some categories of wallpaper are easier to hang than others.
Other People Are Reading
Vinyl wallpaper is the most common type of wallpaper. You can hang this type of wallpaper in nearly any room of the house. It is usually waterproof, which makes it ideal for bathrooms and kitchens. You can clean vinyl wallpaper and it is easy to hang. When you wet this wallpaper, it does not stick together, which makes it easier to handle. Besides standard vinyl wallpaper, there is also vinyl-coated wallpaper, which has the same characteristics of vinyl wallpaper. The only major difference between the two types is that the vinyl-coated wallpaper is easier to remove from the wall.
Flocked wallpaper is a classic, patterned wallpaper type. It has a feltlike feel to it, and it tends to be busier than standard wallpaper. This wallpaper is not easy to clean and you can mess up the felt fibres if you try scrubbing it. You should only use flocked wallpaper in nonbusy or low-humidity rooms, including living or dining rooms. This wallpaper may also work in bedrooms, but you should avoid children's rooms.
Foil wallpaper is made of a metal material, usually silver, copper or gold. You can also have variations on these three main colours, and it adds a contemporary look to nearly any type of room. The material is very light and it wrinkles easily. This can make it difficult for you to work with it. Plus, it will show any imperfections in the walls, including bumps, scratches or holes. You should only use foil wallpaper sparingly. Foil wallpaper works best to accent a certain section of the wall as opposed to covering the entire surface with it.
Fabric wallpaper is made of real fabric. Sometimes, there is a laminate or other type of protective coating on it, but usually it's just exposed. Unlike most other types of wallpaper, fabric wallpaper is very difficult to clean. It will stain, and grease can become embedded in the fabric. Further, it is very difficult to hang. You have to smooth it out enough that it doesn't wrinkle when you hang it. But, you have to worry about stretching it out too much. You should only use fabric wallpaper is very low-traffic areas, like dining rooms.

40's MEXICAN jacket
Here are some more pictures of last week-end...
My brother in law was visited us so you will be able to see us together!
I must tell you that I found during our US trip another thing that I was looking for ages!
A 40's mexican jacket!!!
Most of the time this kind of jackets are small size and full of holes.
I found it in the same shop than THIS dress in Hollywood...
These jackets were hand made in Mexico for tourists.
Did you see Janey's recent post about them?
My hubby had one of his classic outfits!
Early 50's sport jacket...
Felt hat...
50's high waisted flecked pants...
an AMAZING new 40's tie and...
his grand-father shoes!!!
Not in pristine condition but a familly treasure!
That was not easy to find perfectly matching accessories with this colorfull jacket...
Not sure if I didn't choose too much things and colors.. perhaps this scarf was too much?
This sweater is vintage of the 50's, so delicate!
Do you remember that purse bought just after our vacations?
This 40's beret was find last week in a flea market.
And look at the beautiful label inside!!!!
Do you like simple outfits posts ?

About Say It With Wood
As the reputation of Say It With Wood has grown, Toby and Aly have welcomed some additions to the family to allow them to offer supply and installations of the highest quality chestnut fencing and gates, alongside forestry services and even the occasional compost toilet! Each member of the team was handpicked by the couple for their skills, attention to detail and knowledge of their craft...
Toby Say It With Wood's co-owner and founder, Toby started his fencing career in Cornwall and after moving to Kent discovered woodlands and the wonders of Chestnut. He hauled his enormous wooden creations around farmers markets before deciding to settle in Herefordshire with the lovely Aly. He considers himself a lucky man - he has the best job in the world! |
Aly Co founder, owner and first lady of Say It With Wood, there is nothing Aly loves more than the great outdoors. She is fully qualified as a forester and as a forest machine operator and now also manages the Leighton Court Yard. She has found the perfect avenue for her passions with Say It With Wood, creating sustainable yet beautiful products whilst helping to restore under managed woodland. |
Rob Say It With Wood's longest serving employee, Rob met Toby and Aly after ordering an oversized garden bench from the couple. With experience as a soft wood fencer and landscaper plus his own 'Artisan Garden Carpentry' business, Rob was an ideal candidate to join the company as an installer in 2009. |
Jason A jack of all trades, Jason has worked within the construction, bar and events industries. A self employed steel fixer and part time personal licence holder when he met Toby and Aly, Jason now works as an assistant installer with Rob, ensuring the job is done safely, soundly and to a high standard. |
Zoe Zoe is Say It With Woods very dedicated paling specialist, quickly and efficiently getting your paling orders completed. |
Ben One of the youngest of the Say It With Wood crew, Ben can split stakes up at quite a rate! He is learning the trade directly from Toby and Aly and has recently gained his chainsaw ticket. |
Dan Traditionally a timber framer, Toby and Aly met Dan at a Say It With Wood Christmas party when the whole crew took part in a timber framing course that Dan was helping to run. He officially joined the company in October 2014, working part time constructing beautiful and bespoke rustic gates. He sports a rather fetching beard which is his pride pride and joy.
Peter Peter has been with us on a part time basis for the last few years: a bit of an all rounder - tree climbing, hedge laying, felling and fence installation. |
Robin works in the yard, peeling, pointing and splitting fencing. He probably has the most unusual cleaving style that we've come across. The chirpiest member of the crew, Robin is also a very talented folk singer performing at events and gigs across the UK.
Jane Jane is our resident website extraordinaire! She used to work from home keeping sayitwithwood.co.uk up to date and easy to navigate, but now mans the office four days a week between 10 and 3 keeping our admin in line. We are hoping that this will give us more continuity with our administration and communication between departments. She is ably (well, not that ably!) assisted by her dog Jess. |

Our readers drew some gorgeous hummingbirds for us this month! Do you have a favorite?
We always talk about how hummingbirds are the smallest birds in the world, but what about the giant hummingbird? These birds are about as big, length-wise, as cardinals, though they're a lot lighter! Their slender builds mean that these birds weigh less than an ounce, while cardinals can weigh up to 2.29 ounces. Giant hummingbirds still weigh ten times more than the tiniest hummingbirds, though.
Giant hummingbirds are found throughout the length of the Andes Mountains in South America, where they feed on flower nectar. It takes an incredible amount of energy to keep these "heavy" hummingbirds in the air, so they need to eat a lot!

Hummingbirds are the world's smallest birds—the littlest one, the bee hummingbird from Cuba, weighs less than two grams (for comparison, a penny weighs 2.5 grams). Ruby-throated hummingbirds hatch out of eggs the size of peas. But while these animals are tiny, they play a crucial role in the ecosystems they live in, pollinating flowers by going from bloom to bloom drinking nectar.
The Smithsonian National Zoo's website includes tons of fun facts about these amazing animals, along with tips for making your backyard a hummingbird hotspot. They provide advice about what kinds of food to put out (sugar water) and what flowers to plant (bee balm, coral honeysuckle, columbine, cardinal flower, and trumpet creeper).
The Zoo also offers tips for keeping hummingbirds safe. More than half the world's hummingbird species live in the tropics, and even if you live far from there, little decisions that you make every day can help protect them. For example, they offer tips on finding coffee that's grown on plantations that also support the flowers that hummingbirds need for food. When it comes to conservation and animal protection, every little bit helps!

There are 12,000 ant species in the world. They live on every continent except Antarctica, and these smart, social insects come in all shapes and sizes, depending on what's best suited to their environment. Some of their adaptations are unusual-looking to say the least. Take trap-jaw ants, for example.
See that part of this ant's face that looks almost like a big black mustache? Those are the ant's jaws! Trap-jaw ants have giant jaws that they hold open and then spring shut. They use their jaws to catch smaller insect prey and even to jump by snapping their jaws against the ground and launching themselves into the air! Being able to jump like that can help these ants escape from predators.
Trap-jaw ants live in South America, but wherever you live, there are probably amazing ants too. When you start seeing them this spring, take a minute to stop and watch them—you might be surprised by what you see!

If you and your Zoobooks fans are hungry for more bear facts, check out the Woodland Park Zoo's website! You can watch their grizzly bears on a live webcam. The bears live in a recreated habitate space that includes a stream and pond with live trout. If you're lucky, you might catch the bears fishing!
The bears are less active during the winter months, but with spring right around the corner, keep an eye on the bear cam and watch them enjoying the warmer weather!
By this time in the winter, a lot of people wish they could just take a nap and wake up in the springtime! How do bears do it?
Well, for starters, not all bears do hibernate. Polar bears remain active all year, as do some bears in warmer climates, like pandas and sun bears. But others, like grizzlies and American black bears, are able to slow down their bodies in the winter months and sleep through until the spring. Grizzlies' body temperatures drop, but not black bears'– in fact, for a long time, scientists didn't consider black bears to be true hibernators because their bodies were too warm. But they fit the bill for other important hibernation criteria– they remained inactive and went months without food, water, or going to the bathroom (or the bear equivalent, since most bears don't have bathrooms). A hibernating bear's heartbeat slows down, and it gets all the nutrition it needs from its fat stores that it built up in the months before the winter. Bears can hibernate for up to eight months, depending on the region they live in.
But why would an animal need to hibernate in the first place? It has to do with energy conservation. Keeping your body alive and healthy takes more energy when you're awake than when you're asleep, and in the winter months when nutritious food is scarce, it makes more sense for bears to hunker down and sleep through the hard times and then come out again in the spring!

We often think of dinosaurs as massive creatures, the biggest animals to ever live on land. And while that's true of some of them, other dinosaurs were downright tiny. Take Compsognathus for instance. These little dinos were only about three feet long, including a long tail, and they probably weighed as little as 1.8 pounds. Even though these dinosaurs were little, they were still predators, as evidenced by their tiny sharp teeth on their long, thin jaws. In fact, the name Compsognathus means "elegant jaw." They probably hunted smaller vertebrate animals, and maybe even insects. Can you imagine seeing one of these tiny dinosaurs on the prowl, hunting bugs?

Gorillas are some of our closest relatives—only the bonobo and the chimpanzee are more closely related to humans. Between 95 and 99 percent of their DNA is the same as ours, and there are lots of aspects of gorillas' lives that are like humans'. Gorillas live in family groups called troops, and gorilla mothers take very good care of their babies.
Gorillas are extremely intelligent animals. They communicate with each other through vocalizations like grunts and barks, and some gorillas in captivity have been taught some sign language. Gorillas also use tools to find food and build their nests. Not so different from us!

The western lowland gorilla is critically endangered, but the Franklin Park Zoo is working hard to protect these animals. By helping your kids get excited about animals like gorillas, you can help a new generation get motivated to work for conservation. The Franklin Park Zoo's website is a great place to start—they have all kinds of crafts, quizzes, photos, and facts to encourage any young nature lover's passion for the world around us. They even have a page dedicated to real-life ways that your family can help the fight for the animals we share our planet with, like creating butterfly gardens and compost piles. Little things like that add up to big change, including the kind of change that can help the great apes!

"Corpse Bride" is a film about a dead woman and a man who accidentally proposes marriage to her when he gets nervous and runs away from the woman he actually intends to marry. The corpse bride, Emily, is a complicated costume involving a wedding dress and exposed bones. You can, however, still create the look of the character -- or any other corpse bride conjured from your worst nightmares -- with basic altered pieces of clothing and dulling effects to make them look old and tattered.
Other People Are Reading
Strapless white gown
As the corpse bride, Emily, wear a strapless white wedding gown with a slightly tattered skirt. For the top of the gown, you may want to get a corset to create the tiny-waisted look of the character. The corset should have lace as the top layer of fabric and have a lacy edge over the bust. The base of the corset should be cut at an angle to the left. To create the look of a tattered skirt, use a tutu made from tulle, and cut a triangle of fabric out of the front slightly to the left. Using an off-white or light grey fabric would make the wedding dress look old and worn.
Fingerless lace gloves
Emily wears a pair of gloves with the fingers missing, the one on her intact arm being higher than the one on the arm that is just bones. Presumably, they were originally full, elbow-length lace gloves, so you may want to start with a pair of lace gloves and remove the fingers by cutting or ripping the fabric. For the shorter glove, rip a few centimetres off the top and let the fabric bunch at your wrist. To create the dusty-grey effect that makes her gloves look like they have been in the dirt for years, dust black eyeshadow onto the gloves with a large round make-up brush.
Wreath veil
The veil that Emily wears is attached to a wreath of flowers that sit on top of her head. You can make your own flowered wreath with fake gypsophila and flower buds. Wrap a circle of wire with ribbon and stick the fake flower stems under the ribbon. You may also want to use dried flowers instead of fake flowers so they look dead. Sew a tulle veil to the wreath in the back and dust the entire thing with black eyeshadow using a round brushing to make it look dull and old.
Because Emily is dead, your make-up for a corpse bride costume should be as close to white as possible. Use white face paint or extremely pale foundation on all exposed skin. Create the look of a dead person with grey eyeshadow for around your eyes and for blush. Use just a little bit of baby pink for lipstick. The corpse bride is also missing the flesh on her right arm. You can mimic this by drawing the shape of bones on your arm or wearing one sleeve of a skeleton costume.

China Glaze Bohemian Gradient
I am totally loving these new duochromes from China Glaze. They are so durable. There are so many ways to use them. Today I came up with a gradient. I used swanky silk, unpredictable, and defiantly daring and stamped with Konad Black Gold polish I used BM 312. I just wish the purple one , no plain jane, was more pigmented. So, here is what I came up with.
So, what do you think of duochrome gradient. Yes or make it go away?
