I vividly remember the first time I read Ghost Rider #1. My brother had found it at a garage sale with a bunch of other older comic books in 1975-76ish. I remember I would ask to borrow it and just stare at the drawings.
R.I.P. to a Legend.
I always loved Dick Ayers inking. He really was one of the greats who helped usher in the Marvel Age of comics. Sad to say goodbye.
Another legend passes. RIP Dick Ayers.
His work on Fury with King Kirby is an all time classic.
Our friend Brian Cronin wrote a nice piece here: http://goodcomics.comicbookresources...-p-dick-ayers/
Rest in peace. A passing of one of the greats.
Take my dreams, childish and weak at the seams
Please don't analyze, please just be there for me
And let us not forget he helped create Groot. Ironic he should die during the same year that character debuts on the big screen.
I saw this earlier today and realised we don't have many from that era left. Al Feldstien died the other day and that only leaves us a small handful left including Steve Ditko who is still creating new work well into his 80's.
Thanks for the notification of a loss of an old friend. There are a couple of things the reader may want to know about Dick: 1) his first comic book work was on a title called Funnyman, published in 1947. His early work also included Cowboys and Indians #6 and Jimmy Durante, both from 1948. 2) Writer Roy Krank created the Western Ghost Rider, based on the song "Ghostriders in the Sky" followed on the title by Gardner Fox and Carl Memling. Dick illustrated all these early stories, including the transformation of the Calico Kid into Marshall Rex Fury (aka the Ghost Rider). This story was published in Tim Holt 11 from the M.E. comics company. Stan Lee brought the western character to Marvel in the early 60's along with some other minor M.E. western comics villains. I know for a fact the Dick loved working on the Ghost Rider; I wish we'd seen more of the original western character.
RIP loved his work .

Presentation about RESTful Services with Spring 3
I just watched this excellent presentation by Arjen Poutsma: Implementing REST Web application Arquitectures
Arjen Poutsma talks basically about:
- The URI template
The structure of a Unified Resource Identifier to request a resource:
- How to use Spring 3 Annotations to handle the four HTTP methods
– GET is used to retrieve a resource and it is safe
– PUT is used to update or create a resource in a known location. It is an idempotent operation, it always returns the same result.
– POST is used to create a resource when the location is unknown. It is not idempotent.
– DELETE is used to delete a resource and it is idempotent.
- Content negotiation
This allows to select a different view according to the extension of the resource or the request header content type. Example, if the extension is .html, it returns an html view; if the extension is .pdf, it returns a pdf view, etc.
- Etags
This is a label inserted in the response header used by proxies to find out when a resource has been modified. It is calculated from the content body, so if this changes, the Etag changes too and the proxy knows that it has to retrieve and cache the resource again instead of returning the cached version.
- RestTemplates
Client-side tools to work with RESTful services. There is a demo using Flickr RESTful service.

An entertaining movie with a good story and message
Salman Khan's movie "Tubelight" hits the theaters today and the tickets are already being sold out. Bollywood Superstar Salman Khan has collaborated for the third time with Kabir Khan, director of Tubelight, Ek tha Tiger and Bajrani Bhaijan.
Salman always surprises us with his acting and movies near Eid, Tubelight is no different. He is playing a role of Boy Scout in this movie. His name is Laxman in the movie but he is often called 'Tubelight' by everyone. His character resembles his last venture "Bajrangi Bhaijan's Pawan" but this time the director has taken it to a new level as in this movie Laxman is capable of stopping a full-fledged war.
Related :Actor Salman Khan Gets Benefit Of Doubt In 1998 Arms Act Case: Reports
The movie starts from the pre-independence era, and it moves to Indo-China war from there. Sohail Khan is playing the role of his brother in the movie and his name is Bharat Singh Bisht. The fight against war starts when Bharat doesn't return from war, and Laxman takes on the journey to bring his brother back. The journey is filled with difficulties and trouble.
Chinese actor Zhu Zhu and child actor Matin accompanies him in the journey and makes the journey worthwhile. Salman can be seen as innocent man-child. The cuteness of Matin brightens the theatres with happiness. The movie has amazing screenplay and storyline. Salman's fans have got another reason to drool over him as his looks in the movie are to die for.

There is a Q&A below, but first things first: watch the video interview. Tayte wears a white Dolce & Gabanna brief under a pair of blue jeans. Did we mention he does so while soaking in a river? Well he does. And all of a sudden, it's been far too long since we've skinny dipped.
What is a smell you absolutely love?
I LOVE wood. Okay, man wood sure, but mostly pine, oak, and cedar. Something about nature is so incredibly sensual and sexy to me. If I ever come out with a fragrance it's basically gonna be a tree branch in a bottle.
What is your favorite city in the world?
Solden, Austria! It's a small ski village in the state of Tyrol and is utterly perfect. Beautiful, friendly people, landscapes so gorgeous you'll drop your camera, and tons of peach schnapps.
I love boxer briefs. It may be because that's what I wore growing up and what feels best on my body, but I also love it aesthetically on myself and others. They seem to give off a gruff essence.
How important is underwear to you and why?
Eh. I love cute underwear and use it as an accessory, but at the end of the day if underwear didn't exist I'd get by–I'm 100% cool with going commando.
I love jockstraps, but mostly when working out. They were designed for comfort when exercising and I truly feel that they fulfill that need very well. I also like how they look, but I'd much prefer the outline of everything than seeing it all.
What food totally grosses you out?
Raw onions.
I can pull my belly button out to make an innie or outie and I can blow balloons up with my nose.
Guilty Pleasure: What is your favorite reality TV or Competition show?
None. I love sitcoms and stand up comedy. If I had a guilty pleasure on TV it'd be re-watching "American Ham" by Nick Offerman. I also really enjoy most shows centered around homo culture because I enjoy seeing the opinions and views of others on the culture I find myself most attached to.
I want to live in the medieval era. I love swords and horses and farms and dirty peasants. It'd probably be a really shitty time to live, but the idea of it is so interesting. Maybe if we ever get time travel I'll go for a week!
What's one thing you wish you could already do? (i.e. juggle, play an instrument, etc)
I want to be able to sing so badly. If anyone give singing lessons and think they can make anyone into a singer PLEASE email me.
I love heights and have jumped, flown, and fallen from many a tall place and love it. The most dangerous was probably cliff diving in Mexico–we were jumping from around 60 feet and the fall was amazing.
At the end of the day, when all is said and done, what's the most important characteristic a person should have?
Honesty. If you aren't honest, to yourself especially, you will be lost.

Naslov: as no one has rallied from more th
DETROIT -- When the Detroit Tigers put together a star-studded starting rotation for the pennant drive, Kyle Lobstein wasnt supposed to be part of the group. Now, he might be their hottest pitcher. Lobstein earned up his first major league victory Sunday night, allowing one run in 5 2-3 innings in the Tigers 6-1 win over the San Francisco Giants. The 25-year-old Lobstein, who made his major league debut in long relief on Aug. 23, has a 2.11 ERA in three starts since moving into Anibal Sanchezs rotation spot five days later. The Tigers have won all three games. "Im pretty excited," Lobstein said after receiving a beer shower from teammates. "Its my first major league win, and we avoided the sweep, which makes it even better. We definitely needed a game like this." Under general manager Dave Dombrowski, Detroits philosophy has favoured pitchers who throw hard, but Lobstein doesnt fit that mould. "This isnt a guy who is going to overpower you, but there are guys in this league who throw 82 and beat teams," catcher Alex Avila said. "Hes got a lot of deception, he has a lot of movement and hes got four pitches that he can throw for strikes. "When you can mix things up like that ... even a 90-mph fastball looks like 94." The win was Detroits second over the Giants in 10 games, including San Franciscos sweep of the 2012 World Series. "This was a big win for us, because we didnt want to face the Royals (Monday) having lost three in a row," Tigers manager Brad Ausmus said. "This puts us in a better mood going into what is, at least until now, the biggest series of the season." Four relievers finished, with Phil Coke pitching the ninth. Miguel Cabrera homered for the third time in two days and Torii Hunter, getting a rare chance to face a starting pitcher older than he is, had three hits against Tim Hudson (9-10). Hudson, pitching in Detroit for the first time in 11 years, gave up three runs and eight hits in six innings. Hudson and LaTroy Hawkins are the only active pitchers with a victory at Tiger Stadium, which closed in 1999. "I felt all right, and I made some good pitches," Hudson said. "The one big mistake I made was to Miggy. Hes starting to catch lightning a little bit, and when you hang a pitch like that to him, hes going to hit it out." The Tigers took the lead on Hunters RBI single in the third, and Cabrera followed with a long homer to left-centre field. The Giants finally got to Lobstein when Angel Pagans infield single scored Gregor Blanco with two outs in the fifth. They threatened again in the seventh, putting runners on the corners with one out, but Blaine Hardy retired Pagan and Joe Panik. "We needed a timely hit there to get back into the game," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. "Thats what weve been getting the last few games, but not that time." Ian Kinslers RBI double off George Kontos made it 4-1 in the seventh, and Cabrera drove in Kinsler with two outs to give him 11 straight seasons with 100 RBIs. Victor Martinez put the game away with a double into the right-centre field gap that scored the hobbled Cabrera from first. Cabrera aggravated his sore ankle, and Don Kelly played first base for the final two innings. Rajai Davis replaced Kelly in centre. "He said it was feeling better before the game, but running all the way from first was a problem," Ausmus said. "Well see in the morning, but Id say there is a very good chance hell be the DH." TRAINERS ROOM Tigers: Reports surfaced Sunday that Cabrera will need off-season surgery for a bone spur in his right ankle, but Ausmus said that a decision on treatment wont be made until after the season. "I dont know where that came from, because we dont know what is going to happen," he said. "The consensus is that theres one spur causing the aggravation." The Tigers might get RP Joakim Soria back as soon as Wednesday. Soria, who has been out since Aug. 10 because of an abdominal strain, is scheduled to pitch live batting practice on Monday. He will return to the active roster, barring any setbacks. Giants: 1B Brandon Belt (concussion) could resume baseball activities on Monday, but Bochy hasnt put a timeline on his return to the lineup. OF Michael Morse (strained oblique) is day-to-day after he was given a cortisone shot on Friday. UP NEXT Tigers: Justin Verlander (12-12) will face Kansas Citys Jeremy Guthrie (10-10) Monday afternoon in the opener of the three-game series between the top two teams in the AL Central. The game was moved from 7:08 p.m. to 4:08 p.m. because the Lions are playing the New York Giants next door at Ford Field at 7:10. Giants: After an off day on Monday, the team will return home for a three-game series with the Diamondbacks. Arizonas Wade Miley (7-10) is scheduled to start against Yusmeiro Petit (4-3) on Tuesday. ALMOST THREE FOR THE PRICE OF ONE The Tigers nearly ended the game with a triple play when Pagan hit a hard grounder to 3B Nick Castellanos, who was playing on the line. Castellanos stepped on third, and seeing that Pagan wasnt sprinting down the line, fired to second, but Kinsler wasnt expecting the throw and never got off a relay to first. Panik then grounded out to end the game. STILL LOOKING FOR A SWEEP The Giants failed to pull off their first three-game road sweep of an AL team since interleague play began in 1997. San Francisco hasnt won three straight games in AL since topping Minnesota and Detroit in 2005.

.com) - World No. 1 Rafael Nadal, Wimbledon champion Andy Murray and four-time Australian Open titlist Roger Federer were among Mondays fourth-round winners at Melbourne Park.DES MOINES, Iowa -- Mark Calcavecchia appeared to be off to yet another slow start after only two strokes. He managed to save par, and went on to put together his best opening round of the year. Calcavecchia and Wes Short Jr. shot 6-under 66 on Friday at Wakonda Club to share the lead in the Champions Tours Principal Charity Classic. Bobby Clampett, Peter Senior and Shane Lowery were a stroke back. Calcavecchia, who lived in nearby Laurel, Nebraska until he was 13, said the rolling hills of the Wakonda Club reminded him of the course he learned to play on. He finished third in Iowa last season, and four straight birdies on the back nine helped put him atop the leaderboard. "Im comfortable on the course," Calcavecchia said. "Its still tough, and you still have to execute under pressure and handle your nerves and stuff. But the course does suit me." It didnt look that way on the first hole. Calcavecchia sent his approach flying over the green. But he put his next shot within 10 feet and made the par putt for his first and perhaps best save of the day. Calcavecchia entered Friday ranked 63rd in opening-round scoring average, but fifth for final rounds. "It was looking like I wwas going to bogey the first hole right off the hop," Calcavecchia said.dddddddddddd. Short followed an eagle on the 15th hole with a bogey. But Short, who has been up and down since opening the season with 10th- and 11th-place finishes, made a birdie putt on No. 18 to tie Calcavecchia. Shorts 66 snapped a stretch of six straight rounds of 70 or higher. "Its been a long road for me. I was hurt for a number of years," said Short, who has long battled back issues. "I put a lot of work into it and its starting to pay off." Clampett, whose best finish was a tie for 29th in March, got stuck in the bunker on the par-4 12th and mishit his approach en route to a bogey. But when faced with a similar shot on the next hole, Clampett holed out from 40 feet for eagle. It was an encouraging start for Clampett, who shot his low round of the year. Jay Haas began his attempt to become just the third player to win the same tournament four times with a 69. But history isnt on Haass side, [img]as no one has rallied from more th[/img]an two strokes down to win in the 14-year history of the Iowa tournament. Defending champion Russ Cochran had the days worst round, shooting a 6-over 78.

Defence Policy Review now scheduled for release June 7
Before heading to Washington on May 15 for talks with U.S. Defense Secretary James Mattis, Defence Minister Harjit Sajjan confirmed that Canada's long-awaited Defence Policy Review will be unveiled June 7. That will be two weeks after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau attends a NATO summit in Brussels, not before as was stated May 7 by Transport Minister Marc Garneau.
Sajjan confirmed not only the release date but also that Canada has been "working with our allies" on policy development, a situation he told reporters was standard operating procedure.
"We've discussed the input into our Defence Policy Review–I've said that many times–as Canada has input into our allies' defence policy," he said. "Multilateralism is very important to have input into our Defence Policy Review as we did the consultation, and that's what good allies do."
As for the delay, Sajjan suggested June 7 had been the proposed release date all along despite Garneau's unequivocal statement that the review would be made public "before the Prime Minister heads to NATO" May 24.
Sajjan said the government had to accommodate a broader policy speech that Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland has been scheduled to deliver after the summit. One of Sajjan's aides said the government wants to "nestle" defence policy within the foreign policy.
Sajjan also said that in addition to consulting the U.S., Canada had reached out to its other partners in the so-called Five Eyes intelligence-sharing alliance–Britain, Australia and New Zealand–to see how they reviewed defence policy.
"We took their recommendations, many of them, and incorporating that into ours where we actually added the industry consultation as well, and that's what good partners do," he said, adding that the focus of the review is "making sure that we have all the necessary tools and resources for our troops to be able to support Canada, our very important commitment which is NORAD as well, and also our responsibility in the world."

'Tis The Season To Be Irish....
Genuine Shamrocks
Genuine Green Scenery In Eire
Very often it seems, at least to me, that when I mention I'm nearly 'full blooded'(as opposed to having less blood inna veins??) Indian(N.A.), it becomes necessary for whoever I'm talking to to declare their own Indian ancestry in terms such as "I'm 1/16 Cherokee" etc. Taking this as my cue, I decided to celebrate St Patrick's Day in several ways, Irish sayings, Irish recipes(or adaptations thereof), Ireland images, and a touch of Irish trivia. Oh yeah, I also want to declare here for all to see that I'm proud to be 1/16 Irish!! It would seem that a great-grandfather on my dad's side of the old clan was a red-haired, bearded, French/Irish mix. Not sure if my math's right, but it's good enough for me. Seems this gentleman left a two-part legacy, descendants who are either full-bearded and have somewhat Caucasian features with coppery skin tone(me), or who look like they stepped straight from the pages of an illustrated history of Native American Peoples. The other trait, at least according to me, is a taste for all things Irish, especially good Irish whiskey. Seems it takes very little to rearrange the old family gene pool for generations to come. I also like French pastries and French Maid outfits, but that's another whole post. Oh, did I mention that SWMBO is Irish/Scot? This would account for my love for single malt scotch perhaps. She definitely serves as an example of an 'Irish Woman's Temper'! But that's a whole string of other posts.
First up, something for the youngsters, St. Patrick's Day 'Cookie Pops'
Stuff For Making Them
20 vanilla wafer cookies
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 12-ounce bag white chocolate chips
green and yellow gumdrops
green Dots® candies
green and yellow Nerd® candies
cake decorating writer gel in green, yellow, red, orange, and black
1 tube of green cake decorator frosting with tip
green and yellow decorator sugar
green food coloring
ice cream or lollipop sticks
wax paper or paper plates
How To Do It
Spread peanut butter onto the flat side of the cookies. Place an ice cream stick into the peanut butter on half the cookies. Top with another cookie so the stick is sandwiched between the two cookies.
Melt chocolate chips following directions on package. Before melting, separate the white chips into two bowls. After melting, add a few drops of green food coloring to one of the bowls of white chips to make green chocolate.
Dip cookie pops in the melted chips, covering completely. Sprinkle with green and yellow sugar and lay or stand on waxed paper or paper plates. Place in refrigerator to chill.
After coating with white chocolate, dip top of pop into green sugar. Slice two yellow gumdrops to make beard. Allow to dry on wax paper. Use black and red decorator gel for eyes and mouth, and for trim on hat.
Rainbow with Pot of Gold
After coating with white chocolate, cut a green Dot in half lengthwise, adhere to chocolate. Before chocolate has a chance to dry, place 3-5 yellow candy nerds "in" pot. Create a rainbow with various colored decorator gel.
After coating with white chocolate, sprinkle with yellow decorator sugar, then draw on a shamrock using green cake decorator icing.
Four Leaf Clover
After coating with green chocolate, use green sliced gumdrops to create clover leaves. Slice a small strip out of remaining gumdrop for stem. Use a green candy Nerd for the center of the clover.
Note: Another variation is to use vanilla or chocolate frosting instead of peanut butter for the filling. These can also be made without sticks. Use one stick to be able to dip the cookies in chocolate and roll in sprinkles, then remove the stick and put on wax paper or paper plates, then chill.
(Trivia: Per capita, the Irish eat more chocolate than Americans, Swedes, Danes, French, and Italians.)
For While You're Waiting For Dinner
Irish Coffee
"Only Irish coffee provides in a single glass all four essential food groups: alcohol, caffeine, sugar, and fat."
~~Alex Levine
Original Version
1 C hot coffee
1 1/2 oz. Irish Mist liqueur
whipped cream for garnish
Modern Version
1 C hot coffee
1 oz. Irish Whiskey
3 sugar cubes
whipped cream for garnish
And Finally, what better dinner for the day than:
Irish Potato Bisquits
Yield: Makes 12 to 18 biscuits.
6 to 8 potatoes
1 cup milk or cream
1 tablespoon melted butter
salt, to taste
1/2 cup flour (approximately)
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Boil and mash the potatoes, making sure they are free of lumps. Add the milk, butter, and salt. Add just enough flour to make a soft dough, then lay it on a floured board and roll out quickly and lightly to a half-inch sheet. Cut into rounds; bake about 10 minutes, or until just crisp on the outside. Butter and eat before they fall.
Whole Wheat Irish Soda Bread
Yield: 1 large loaf
This delicious, wholesome loaf is quick to make and usually quick to disappear!
Try it slathered with butter and preserves -- perfect with a nice cup of tea.
1 cup all-purpose flour
3 cups whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1-3/4 cups buttermilk
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Combine all the dry ingredients and mix well with a fork, making sure to break up any little lumps of brown sugar. Make a well in the dry mixture and pour the buttermilk into it. Using a wooden spoon, stir just until a soft dough is formed. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured counter and knead for 1 to 3 minutes until it is smooth. (You can add a little flour if the dough is too sticky, but too much will make a tough loaf.)
Shape the dough into a round loaf, flattened slightly, and place it on an ungreased baking sheet. Using a small sharp knife, cut a large X on the top of the loaf. Bake on the middle rack of the oven for about 40 minutes or until the loaf is golden brown and sounds hollow when rapped on the bottom. Cool completely before cutting. Slice very thin for serving.
Irish lamb Stew
Yield: Serves 6-8
Mint jelly and hot biscuits are a must with this traditional New England dish.
3-pound lamb shoulder
4 cups cold water
2 onions, peeled and sliced
2 stalks celery, chopped
Flour for dredging
2 tablespoons butter
1 cup beef stock
2 sprigs parsley
1 bay leaf
3 to 4 onions, sliced
1 to 2 potatoes, peeled and chopped
4 carrots, peeled and cut into
1-inch pieces
Salt and pepper to taste
Trim meat from bones, cube, and set aside. Combine bones, water, onions, and celery in Dutch oven. Simmer, partially covered, 30 minutes. Strain and reserve liquid. Discard bones and vegetables. Cool and skim fat from top of liquid. Dredge meat in flour. Melt butter in frying pan and brown meat on all sides. Place in Dutch oven, add stock, reserved liquid, parsley, and bay leaf. Simmer gently, partially covered, 1 hour. Remove bay leaf and parsley. Add additional onions, potatoes, and carrots and cook, partially covered, 30 minutes longer. Season with salt and pepper.
And after the meal, something upon which to think while enjoying an Irish drink
"May you live as long as you want,
And never want as long as you live."
~~Irish Proverb
"Ireland is rich in literature that understands a soul's yearnings, and dancing that understands a happy heart."
~~Margaret Jackson
"People live in each other's shelter."
~~Irish Proverb
Trivial Stuff:
-The bubbles in Guiness beer sink to the bottom rather than float to the top as in other beers.
-According to the U.S. Census Bureau, 34 million United States residents claim Irish ancestry, or nearly ten times the entire population of Ireland today, which stands at 3.9 million. Among U.S. ethnic groups, the number of Irish-Americans in the U.S. is second only to the number of German-Americans.
-Since 1820, 4.8 million Irish have legally immigrated to the United States, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. The agency reports that only four countries—Germany, Italy, Mexico, and the United Kingdom—have sent more native-born residents to become naturalized U.S. citizens.
-Guinness stout, first brewed by Arthur Guinness in Dublin, Ireland, in 1759, has become synonymous with Ireland and Irish bars. According to the company's Web site, 1,883,200,000 (that's 1.9 billion) pints of Guinness are consumed around the world every year.
Until next time, enjoy yourselves, take care, and keep smiling.

Mm, my mouth's watering, plus I enjoyed all the statistics. My relatives all claim to be some percentage Scotch-Irish, which I guess means their people left Scotland for Ireland at some point. I hear it's a great place.
OK Mike What if you are an Irish-German American, with a little English thrown in for good measure.
Irish Coffee brings back memory's of a G.E.T. school I attended in Missoula, Mt on St. Patrick's Day years ago. But that's a whole other post too.
Hi, Mike! Good Irish stuff that we all can appreciate. Not to worry, George. Everybody is allowed to be Irish today. Have a good day, Mike.

I thoroughly enjoyed every word of this, Mike.
This - "alcohol, caffeine, sugar, and fat" - cracked me up.
Your soda bread is nearly the same recipe for the one I made today which I just pictured over on my site, and Irish Lamb stew - fills the belly and soothes the soul.
Loved the photos and the trivia. You set a festive mood here, buddy! Thanks!
(Your wife and I have that same trait - the Irish Woman's Temper. Ah, it settles so many things... ;)

Slainte Mike, enjoy your whiskey :-)

i have no idea of my heritage being adopted and all. but sure...i'll be irish for a day. i might even be willing to be irish for a little longer than that if i can have some irish whiskey!

I have always wanted to visit Ireland. What a great time of year this would be to go. Maybe some day...

About the Irish Coffee--
Irish Mist is for wimps. Should use 2 oz of Old Bushmills.

One of the best things about Pinterest isn't all the great ideas (which of course, are awesome) but I also love that it's introduced me to some amazing blogs and websites that I might not have otherwise discovered.
On of these sites is Real Mom Kitchen. If you aren't visiting this site regularly, you should. It's one of the best sources of simple and delicious recipes I've found in a long time. Like the name says, it includes recipes that are easy for real, busy moms to follow. The ingredients are easy to find, kitchen staples, and most of the recipes only take a short time to prepare.
One of the recipes I found there was for Taco Pizza. We all love tacos and pizza here in the Real Maine House, so what's better than combining the two?
The recipe on RMK suggested using crescent rolls for the crust, but I used a regular pizza crust. I pre-baked the crust for about 10 minutes, then topped it with refried beans, seasoned taco meat, cheese, black olives, tomatoes, and green onions. A few more minutes in the oven, and voila . . . here's what it looked like:
It's kind of a mess, since the kids helped me, but that's half the fun right?
It tasted oky, but was super thick and holy moly, did I get heartburn after eating it. I think if I were to do it again, I would use salsa or taco sauce instead of the refried beans, and shredded chicken instead of the beef. But it was fun, and a different take on regular 'ole tacos or pizza.

The Federal Communications Commission says it plans to create a committee aimed at improving diversity in the communications industry and eliminating inequality in the online arena. FCC Chairman Ajit Pai announced plans for the Advisory Committee on Diversity and Digital Empowerment yesterday.
"Every American should have the opportunity to participate in the communications marketplace, no matter their race, gender, religion, ethnicity, or sexual orientation," Pai said in a press release.
The press release went on to explain that the committee will work on "providing recommendations to the FCC on empowering all Americans." For example, it said, the committee and FCC may help establish an incubator program and/or identify ways to prevent digital redlining.
That was the extent of the details the FCC and Pai provided on the committee. It's unclear at the moment who will be on the committee, when it will start work, and what will be its first deliverables.
This committee effort contrasts with other recent developments related to redlining, some of which Pai has supported.
For example, the federal government recently passed legislation to allow ISPs and mobile broadband providers to collect, sell, and share consumer app usage history, web browsing history, and other private information with the approval of those consumers. Pai, a long-time proponent of this idea, voiced his support for the legislation.
This new legislation is helpful to the advertising and broadband service provider industries. But it eliminates consumer privacy protections and can even open the door to more predatory marketing that hurts minorities, according to some sources.
"The data that big corporations collect from Black broadband users leads to predatory marketing, which starts at a young age and lasts throughout our lives," said racial justice group Color of Change. "Without the crucial FCC regulations implemented last year, Black and marginalized communities will continue to experience online price gouging, data discrimination, and digital redlining."
Speaking of redlining, a group called Connect Your Community and the National Digital Inclusion Alliance last month charged AT&T with systematically discriminating against lower-income Cleveland neighborhoods in the way it had deployed home internet and video technology over the past decade.
"Our analysis, based on newly released FCC Form 477 Census block data for June 2016, provides clear evidence that AT&T has withheld fiber-enhanced broadband improvements from most Cleveland neighborhoods with high poverty rates…," the NDIA announcement said. "This analysis is part of a six-month effort that began when CYC and NDIA learned that residents of many Cleveland neighborhoods were being declared ineligible for AT&T's 'Access' discount rate program, solely because they couldn't get AT&T connections at the 3 mbps download speed that was then the program's minimum requirement."
TMC is working to raise awareness of such issues. It's dedicated to bringing this kind of important information to light and recognizing those companies that are effecting positive change in the workplace and the world.
We invite you to explore and participate in the TMC Workplace Excellence Award program including the Tech Culture Award, the Tech Diversity Award, and the Social Responsibility Award. Applications for the Tech Culture Award have already closed. But we're accepting applications for the Tech Diversity Award through the end of this month. And the application process for the Social Responsibility Aware remains open until May 31.

Merry Christmas! We had a wonderful day yesterday – we had a quiet morning with the boys. We don't go crazy with gifts. This year, each boy got three gifts and a stocking full of fun things like whoopee cushions. Actually, let me amend the quiet part – we heard the sound of rubber farts all day. It cracked them up on the way to church, no less. My middle son is very good at make the whoopee cushion farts sound juicy. Boys!
The younger ones got little RC "drones" that they've been playing with constantly. My oldest son got a new e-ink display Kindle. I like the Kindle Fire, but I think he would constantly be on the internet, which is not cool with me. His kindle does go on the internet, but it's just a black and white display – you can't do much with it, which is fine with me!
After lunch, we went over to my brother's house to celebrate with his family and my parents. Poor Parker was sick with a stomach bug, so he spent the afternoon in bed. He's all better now, fortunately it was a quick bug. My brother has three girls under 6. They are very sweet and girly, and their house had an army of Barbies and American Girls that had taken over! It's fun to be around girly girls – it's so different than being with boys who want to battle with Nerf guns all day!
Today I got the most recent Ballard Designs catalog in the mail, and it has some really cute things. Isn't this gorgeous? I loves me some animal prints! I would love to have one or two of these in my family room.
Getting my house painted last week has given me the itch to update my bedroom. Since we changed our wall color from pink to Benjamin Moore Revere Pewter (a warm gray), I'm thinking that I'd like to bring some dark blue into my bedroom. I'd love to re-cover my headboard and get a bedskirt made in a blue fabric like this:
Isn't this ikat pretty?
A pair of these end tables would be nice, and there's lots of storage which is a bonus. I like this soft gray color. I think it would be pretty with the blue fabric.
A pair of these glam lamps would spice things up! I like their retro Palm Beach look. I also like how the pattern is graphic – it's a nice contrast to the ikat pattern.
Here is a great example of a headboard and bedskirt in the same fabric. This is Aerin Lauder's East Hampton bedroom – isn't it gorgeous? I first saw this room when Lauder's house was featured in now defunct House & Garden in December 2007. It still looks great to me – it just shows that great taste stands the test of time.
Wouldn't you be happy sleeping here?

Piece # 30
Well it's that time again! A PayPerPost and HP puzzle hunt is going on. And luckily I happen to have piece #30. There are 48 pieces in all so the hunt could go on for awhile. But hopefully throwing this one out there will help someone. I'm not going to participate in this hunt. While I could for sure use the $1000. Yes the first person to put all the pieces together gets $1000, amazing I know! I just don't have time to do it now. I'm gonna spend most of the weekend doing homework so I better not even start trying to find the pieces or I will become obsessed. I'll just post them as I come across them for you all!
The pictures this time around are of Michelle and her family. Michelle won a HP Camera awhile back. So now that she has had some time to use it and take advantage of the great Digital Photo Printing HP offers they broke her pictures up and they are now pasted all over the web for everyone to find. So good luck and happy hunting! Just in case you hadn't figured it out this post and this amazing puzzle hunt is brought to you by the folks at HP.

Training Diary #14/09/2017
Since I've not just got running races coming up and I've started cycling and swimming too(with some swimming events coming up).. instead of doing training diaries for each event.. since I'd end up repeating myself within the different posts, I figured I'd just change the format of the post to have the training diary include a recap of any and all exercise I do throughout the week so it covers everything!
So, welcome to my first Training Diary post!
MONDAY - SWIM - 1025m
Thankfully, I always carry an extra pair in my bag.. in this case it's my open water goggles which did the job for the lesson. I'm in the midst of replacing my Aquasphere.
The lesson itself was OK. I focused on Front Crawl technique and did some drills with the kickboard as I want to swim faster with front crawl and apparently my stroke is fine but my kick could do with being stronger..
If you follow me on IG, you'll know I've been working(or in my case atm not really working) on my fear of jumping in the water. I failed last week AND this week.. I just couldn't muster the courage to jump in and it's terribly frustrating!
TUESDAY - REST - Always a rest day usually.. maybe not so much now that it's lighter in the evenings but the morning is always a no go.
WEDNESDAY - 3 mile RUN & 1850m SWIM
Then it was Wednesdays late women's only swim which has become my new favourite as it's not busy and I can get a decent swim in. Got in some decent distance but had major issues with cramping in my toes and hands during the swim.. been recommended to get some electrolyte tablets to put in my water, so I'm hoping that helps!
THURSDAY - REST - Unplanned. Not sure why I didn't do anything.
FRIDAY - REST - Took a rest day on the assumption that I would be parkrunning Saturday.. but totally forgot about Phillip being on call and not being able to go.
SATURDAY - 14.7 mile CYCLE
I was FREAKING out before the cycle and worried I was gonna hit the deck. Fortunately I didn't. I loosened the tension on the cleats to make it easier to unclip. Surprisingly, it wasn't the unclipping that was causing issues, it was the clipping back in!
but I survived, thats the main thing and it reminded me that I really enjoy cycling.. so I'll be doing it more often now that the weather has warmed up!
SUNDAY - 5.65 mile RUN & 9.4 mile CYCLE
We did include some 'sort of' fartlek training at the start and picked some parts to pick up the pace.. but as I got hotter and hotter, we just had to stop. I'll give it a go another time.
Later in the afternoon, I went out for another cycle. My butt was sore from the previous day and it was SUPER windy out where we rode but it was another successful trip with the cleats.
So, I had a 2, 2, 2 week, 2 swims, 2 cycles and 2 runs - thats all fine by me! Im trying to switch things up with my routine lately so Im happy with this. I'm hoping that not just focusing solely on running will maybe kickstart my weight loss.. so we will see what happens!

Implications: The idea of pent-up demand seems easy to grasp for things like furniture, automobiles, clothing or appliances. But healthcare is not immune, either; a fact that has brought profit to insurance companies, at least until such time as patients decide to get caught-up on their overdue procedures.

The Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference (KCAC) and the Greater Hutchinson Convention/Visitors Bureau (Hutchinson CVB) are excited to announce two new events coming to the Hutchinson Sports Arena in 2017. The inaugural KCAC mid-season Fall Fling will take place Oct. 13-14, 2017, and the KCAC Volleyball Conference Championship will be held Nov. 9-11, 2017.
"The renovations and updates to the Hutchinson Sports Arena were key factors in recruiting these events to Hutchinson. We are excited to welcome the student-athletes, coaches and fans to experience great volleyball in a fantastic venue," said Holly Leiker, National Sports & Destination Sales Manager for the Hutchinson CVB.
The KCAC mid-season Fall Fling is a new concept for the 2017 season and will include six matches per day on two courts for varsity competition from 9 a.m. - 8 p.m. each day. All 12 member schools will play two conference varsity matches on Friday, Oct. 13, and two conference varsity matches on Saturday, Oct. 14. The final schedule will be announced at a later date. Competing programs will also be able to schedule junior varsity matches as well against conference opponents.
"As a conference, we are excited about the possibilities of partnering with the City of Hutchinson to make the Hutchinson Sports Arena the home of our conference championship tournament," said Dr. Scott Crawford, KCAC Commissioner. "The Fall Fling will be a great preview for the teams and the community prior to the championship tournament"
The 2017 KCAC Volleyball Conference Championship will follow a new format, which will be very similar to the final site of the NAIA Volleyball Championship. The top eight teams following the regular season will be seeded and placed into two, four-team pools. The top two teams from pool play will then advance to a single-elimination tournament.

The plan for today is to head up to the State Fair, which is so much bigger and better in every way than my home-town fair, I can hardly wait! Perhaps we will get to try some of these amazing culinary creations (go ahead, click the link and check out the slide show of all the goodies on Huffington Post). It's simply amazing what they can do with a deep fryer nowadays.
Spaghetti ice cream? Pulled-pork parfait? Deep-fried Frito pie? I'm there! My arteries are just going to have to cowboy up and take one for the team today.
Look for pictures and a full report tomorrow.

RYA Scotland can confirm that the Focus Club Support Programme shall stay open for new applications until Monday 24th April 2017. This shall give any clubs who were unable to complete the Note of Interest and Clubs First Tool over the Easter break the opportunity to do so.
The main benefit of being part of the programme is the direct support from one of the Regional Development Officers and there has been an average increase of over 20% in active membership across the clubs we have worked with. However, some of the other benefits, as fed back from the clubs involved, have included:
The programme is open to all affiliated clubs in Scotland regardless of their size, location or the disciplines offered at the club.

Were you looking forward to buying a PlayStation Vita this holiday season? Unless you want an imported Japanese version, you'll have to wait a bit longer. Sony's next portable gaming system will not be available in North America and Europe until early 2012. Here's more from Bloomberg:
The product will initially launch in Japan before the end of December, followed by introductions in the U.S. and Europe early next year, Kazuo Hirai, Chairman Howard Stringer's top lieutenant, told reporters in Tokyo today. The company had previously said it planned a phased global rollout of the Vita from the end of this year, without providing specifics.
Sony was in a great position to compete with Nintendo's 3DS handheld, which recently slashed its price due to weaker-than-expected sales. A lot of gamers were looking forward to the Vita and many are surely disappointed that it won't be out in 2011 as originally expected. That said, the extra time should allow Sony to bolster the Vita's launch lineup. Having strong games at launch would help Sony avoid one of the 3DS' problems.
How do you feel about the PlayStation Vita being delayed until 2012? Are you bummed? Or are you hopeful that the extra time will lead to a better launch lineup? Perhaps the whole thing is leaving you with a profound sense of "meh"? Leave a comment and let me know (please)!

Tonight was Senior Night at the Mt. Horeb football game. It was the last game of Roya's marching band career.
The seniors dressed in cartoon-themed costumes and played music from animated TV shows and films. Roya was Fiona from Shrek. Callie was either Peter Pan or Robin Hood. (Costumes sort of interchangeable.)
And did you notice – she got her braces off yesterday! It is also her 18th birthday!
Here are some more photos from the game, which we left after the half-time show.
I know; they are kind of dark.
If we hadn't spent the night in good old Mount Horeb, we would have like to attend an appearance by T. C. Boyle at the Wisconsin Book Festival.

For the life of me I've never understood why more people aren't into Thievery Corporation. It's not like their music isn't good, accessible or easily enjoyable to people with only a hint of taste…or none at all. Yet there are still folks out there who have never heard of them, and don't own one of their albums. These poor, out of touch losers walk around this planet in a state of complete apathy.
But there is hope.
Simply buy/burn them a copy of Thievery Corp's 2005 album "The Cosmic Game" or keep it for yourself.
"But, why DJ Tim?"
Simple. Because, like all the other albums featured on this blog, it's awesome.
Born of two like minded music freaks from Washington DC, Rob Garza and Eric Hilton met and began collaborating at the famous Eighteenth Street Lounge back in 1995. They found that they liked the same collections of dub, lounge, jazz, bossa nova and hip hop…so they brought their styles to the studio and Thievery Corp was born.
They released a couple of ear catching singles that put them on a lot of underground DJ's radar ( a groovy radar to be on, if you make cool shit) with their newly formed ESL label, and soon released "Sounds from the Theivery Hi Fi." A lot of people have tried to categorize them with labels like "leftfield" or "downtempo," but categories aside (who needs em?) they just enjoy making great music that I love.
One of their only albums I own on wax, "The Cosmic Game" is darker than the previous album, with a lot more rock flourishes than before. this is maily thanks to a stellar line up of guest stars like David Byrne on 'The Heart's A Lonely Hunter' of The Flaming Lips on 'Marching The Hate Machines…'
If you like your beats chilled and your ambiance cool, this is the stuff for you.
Even if you don't, chances are you will at some point in the future, so it's best to be prepared!

Today while browsing I came across this web site HOWCAST (www.howcast.com) on lifehacker..... You will surely remember the book titled ""How Things Work"" from your school days...
Well I guess HOWCAST is a combination of Pod Cast and this How To Make Things Work.... It contains Video Tutorials on several day to life tpoics ....it may be a very simple one as 'how to learn english' to... 'how to apply a lipstick'.....lol.....
I had a look at few of the videos... How To Make Chocolate Pot De Creme,,,How To Take Great Pictures With Your Cell Phone,,,,Extend Your iPod's Battery Life (this one s embedded below)
The video quality is very good and I found them better than those of YouTube's,,, (Howcast is created by the veterans of YouTube) and this is because the howcasts are wither submitted by itself or by its members but Howcast screens out inappropriate content by actively monitoring and responding to user feedback about any such content.
Its disapponting that all the Videos are not downloadable ... (If you wanna download and watch them later---no option here) but some Podcasts are available for download as RSS Feeds or as Apple iPod's podcasts . These downloadable videos are availabe at http://www.howcast.com/rss. Wat if you wanna share the videos with your friends.,,,,, well Howcast gives you an option to embed its Howcasts on your blog or webpage (I have embedded one below). Howcast permits a video file of max 100 mb..(Thats one limitation,,)
Well overall its a good informative site in the "How To s" categor covering almost all day to life topics like Food, Crafts, Health, Parenting, Business................many more...
I suggest you to atleast have a look at howcast,,, atleast if you are planning on how to live on a budget or backingup your iTunes Library

G'day peeps. I feel like sharing this one.
As you know I am reside in London town and I earn my cash, in a part of town called Holborn (pronounced Ho'burn). Well... Yesterday, around 1pm I decide to do my daily sandwich run. Relishing the opportunity to catch some of this weird thing everybody has been talking about. I think they call it sunshine (or something like that), that I still believe this is just a myth in London. But let me not deviate from the essence of the story.
To buy my beloved sandwich I need somefinc called cash. Now, I have heard that this "cash" can be obtained at, what is called a "cash machine". Great, I can already taste the chicken, ham and cheese toasted chiabata... I am ready to go.
One Problem: I don't know where the nearest "cash machine" is. But hey, this is the digital age where you can find anything on the net. I hop over to my trusty Barclays website and within a few clicks I am at the "Branch and cash machine locator". I select "Barclays/Woolwich cash machine" and type in "Holborn" in the "London street" section and slam that "Next" button quicker than Latvian can get a pub job.
The list of results pop up immediately (I love my broadband). And you think that would be it. I am off to go get a my lunch.
Second problem: See if you can spot it.
You got it! 14,913.8 Miles to the nearest cash machine. I bet this site has already booked me a ticket on BA and check me in on there online check in system.
After recovering from shock me colleague told me there is one just up the street. And its definitely not 14,000+ miles away. The sweet relief... Allegedly Barclays have hooked up with Multimap on this and Multimap is to blame.
You'll be happy to know that I did get my sandwich and I dint have to travel to Antigua to get the cash. Although that might have been a good trip.

I dropped off my mom at the airport at around 5 am and headed to the island. This was an opportunity to get warmed up. I had not been painting as much and I was going to paint a subject that was unfamiliar to me.
I went to the Balboa Ferry to paint a quick nocturne. I only had a hour of darkness so I had to be very quick.
I had about 45 minutes of painting before I stopped. I have painted in many changing conditions but this was the most dramatic change that I have had to paint in.
I figured I completed about 30 percent of the painting before having to stop. I can usually paint until I am finished regardless of the lighting. If I had the time I could have used my imagination and memory to get the painting to an acceptable finish.
I packed up and wandered along the harbor warming up my composition skills using my new camera. The morning was beautiful.
I packed up and found a waffle house by the paint out location and read my latest Plein Air magazine. At this point I could not be any more ready for the painting that was to come.
I got there and met Debra. When several more painters showed up, she invited us to wander around the shipyard. She suggested many different painting options. I was really intrigued by the various tools and equipment used at the yard. She then gathered the group and told us what she was going to paint.
- block in really quickly
- add just enough detail at this point to give composition direction
- only paint for a couple of hours to make sure the light stays right
- separate the light part of the painting from the dark part of the painting-compared the sky to the other parts of the painting to make sure the relationship was right
- starts with a plan and sticks to it from the start
- sets her pallet up with the color wheel going clockwise from orange at about 7 o'clock
- she spoke about finding the right pigment based on the symbols on the tube of paint which is universal
- she says she just mixes up a couple of color and just goes
- in the studio she will lay down more colors so she can get to her colors quicker
- uses spackling knives to get straight lines of masts in her boat paintings-talked about putting different colors on different sides of the pallet knife to indicate light direction
- better to keep your purples on the blue side to prevent the finished painting being pink and red
- when ever she can sneak red into a painting she will
|The following are the things I wrote down during her demonstration.
- focuses on where the light is-trying to get the big pieces of light and dark to get the direction organization of the painting-light dark light patterns appeal to her sense of design
- worked at getting the shape of the boat right before doing anything else to the painting
- did not want to paint anything on the back of the boat because she wanted to keep the design simple-it was not necessary
- she did not paint the reflections on the side of the boat for the same reason
- starts her stroke with a dot to get the location right before she commits to it
- she is looking to balance the colors within the painting
- added yellow to the gray rudder to add sparkle
- did reconstruction with clean brush-when she does it
|Her subject
The finished painting

The essence or shape of an entity's complete form. This is one of the best ways to define the Gestalt Principles. When taken from psychology and applied to web design, you get aesthetically pleasing designs that people are just naturally attracted to. Let's talk about psychology in web design.
"The only important thing about design is how it relates to people."
- Victor Papanek
Everyday we pick up hundreds, maybe thousands of signals at a time. How do we sort through the noise? How do we focus? Well, first we group related objects based on what fits together. And what then?
We simplify.
In practice, the designs would be created with the fact that the brain sees the entire picture as a whole before it focuses in on the smaller details. In this case, these smaller details are the fonts, colors, shadows.
The goal for you at this end of this post will be to have a better understanding of how we perceive the elements of design layouts. How does our brain see and interpret a "good" design. Let's dive into some psych.
Principles of Gestalt perception
The law of pithiness
We typically find comfort when things are simplified, symmetrical. This is why we don't see a lot of cluttered designs anymore. Minimalism is a growing trend where sites are stripped to the necessities, which actually helps the designs success overall.
Take any "terms of service" page for example. you don't know what surprises are in store for you.
To combat this? You clean and simplify your pages. Easier said than done, I know. But people will react more comfortably with your site.
The law of similarity is pretty straightforward. Objects and elements are grouped together if they share colors, shapes, shading, etc. So when you see a complex logo made up of numerous shapes, we'll perceive it as one object most likely due to it's branding colors.
When applying this to web design, we can assume that with proper branding, the primary, secondary, and accent color will group all elements together.
Our eyes tend to follow lines, curves, or any stretched element. You could utilize text and images to manipulate the direction in which the visitor will look. This could be great for landing pages. Having the flow direct the viewers eyes either right to the call to action or right to a form on the page.
This is an interesting one. Our brains can take an incomplete drawing and complete it! Closing the lines if you will. Here's an example.
Can you make this image out? It's a bit harder than some of the more common examples, but we typically make out a Dalmatian sniffing the ground nearby a tree.
Closure provides a great way to practice minimalism in web design. Doing so requires skill and creativity, but it could ultimately help with the elegance of your design.
How can we utilize space to appeal to our visitors? The law of proximity shows us that individual elements can be connected through proper spacing.
How do we apply this? Text boxes on a landing page would be a solid example. Organize the text into one group, properly spacing it from the CTA on your page.
As humans, symmetry is beautiful to us. So some could say a design that shows symmetrical elements would be seen as comforting or harmonious to the visitors. Check out the example below for a better picture of what I mean.
Common fate
Objects that move in the same direction are perceived as being more related than objects that move in opposite directions or those that are not moving at all. So having a side menu that moves from the left side of the screen inward would show common fate, because the elements move together.
Think of it like a school of fish. We don't pick out the individual fish that make up the group, we see it as one entity that move in one common direction. But if we saw another school of fish swimming in the opposite direction, we'd depict it as 2 elements; two separate groups.
Past Experience
The viewers past experiences will affect how they perceive something. Take a red octagon for example. What do you think of? A stop sign?
This could dig deeper into social and cultural aspects of our lives, as well as personal accounts. Colors, shapes, key words, and all elements on your site could play into this idea.
How to apply the Gestalt Principle to design
Think of it like a giant painting. When you look at it, you make out the picture first and work your way closer to those small details. The same apply to your design. You might have all of these beautiful, elegant pieces, but if the collective whole is a bad design, was it all worth it?
The key: try creating the outer shell of your layout first in low fidelity mock-ups. So create your shapes and content spaces first, then the rest will take that mold. Work your way down to the specifics.

It's kind of a bummer to be back at work after the holidays. Memorial Day sure is a long ways off...
That's why on the weekends you must get out and have the most fun you can possibly cram into the time allotted, and what the law permits.
I, along with La Divina, Black Mariah and GlamAmour will present all new burlesque material tonight at Panoptikon. No cover, no excuses.

Not anymore! I am officially a vinyl-er? (made up word)
Oh em geeeee!! Why did I wait so long?
Love it! Love the product and love the result!
I think this project is a hybrid scrapbook/vinyl project. The 12" x 12" shadow box was made for the 3D scrapbook pages that you don't want to smash in your albums. I already consider myself an expert on the machine (disclaimer: NOT the software) and have used it numerous times in my scrapbooking. Cutting vinyl is awesome! I watched many tutorials before I even attempted my first cut, and truthfully, was just to darn scared to try.
Second confession: the first two cuts were trash. One was not sized properly for the 8" vinyl and the other was not loaded into the machine properly. Yes. I wasted some vinyl.
But...oh the third! Smooth as butter. I might also mention that I loved the "weeding" process (i.e., removing all the little bits of vinyl that do not appear in the finished product. Think "negative" space.) Tedious yes, but perfect for my OCD.
The vinyl is adhered to the outside of the glass. Maybe I'll learn the "mirroring" technique and try that next time. I don't know if you can see the detail, but the paper is actually printed with the Jingle Bell lyrics.

I can't remember where this recipe came from, it's not new to us, but it is very good! This time I made it with homemade enchilada sauce.
Honey Lime Enchiladas
1 lb chicken, cooked, shredded
1-2 limes, zested and juiced
6 tbsp honey
1 tbsp chili powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
8-10 flour tortillas
1 lb chedder cheese, shredded
1 1/2 cups enchilada sauce
1 1/4 cup cream(omitted)
Place chicken, honey, lime juice/zest, and spices in a bowl. Let marinate for at least a half hour.
Spread about a 1/2 cup of sauce on the bottom of 9x13 casserole dish. Lay 1-2 tortillas down on plate(or counter). Scoop 2 tbsp of chicken mixture down center, dribble with sauce, top with cheese, and roll. Place seem side down in casserole dish until all filling/tortillas are used. Cover enchiladas with more sauce and top with cheese. Place in 350 degree oven for 20 mins until heated through and bubbly.
**I know these will be delicious! I love the combo of lime and honey....and I also know these will be very spicey! The sauce is spicy, so I know A &Q won't be partaking in this dinner tonight!

He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation."
--Mark 16:15
Anytime one of the "homeboys" gives their testimony, they always lead up to the day they were saved by saying, "But One Day," which is where we got the title of our blog. It gives me chills every time I hear one of them saying it. All of their pasts were so different, so spoiled, and usually so deceitful. Even though I know those three words are coming up as they are giving their testimony, I still get teary-eyed hearing each one of them say it because when they get to that part, "BUT ONE DAY," they are all the same. We are all saved only through Jesus blood he shed on the cross for us.
I am so thankful for my "one day."

From http://gracialenora.blogspot.com, I shifted to http://graciasmindspeak.blogspot.com. Woohoo..it was so tiring to shift to new URL since I had to inform one by one my blogger friends regarding the changes. I even go to internet café last night to start sending them messages informing about my new URL.hahahaJ. Funny isn't it? Since I'm still newbie here, it's the only way I know I can do to have my blog on their list once again. So, I really need to have more patience hahaha. Shifting from one URL to another is such a hard thing but I know I am on my way now. I do hope that after changing my URL, I would be able to gain my PR back. (calling Mr. Google…kring…kring…kring…)
Guys, if it is not too much to ask, please spare me a single minute of your time and add me on your blogroll over and over again. Please..please..please…I'm begging you=). And for those who wants to exchange link with me, please leave me a comment either here or on my shoutbox. Thank you and enjoy blogging.
My sincerest thanks to my fellow alumni, fellow blogger, my very good friend, and my mentor as well for her excellent suggestion. Now I finally made it. Thanks Ate Niko.

I have been contemplating starting a blog for a while now, and drifted between the thoughts of "Yeah, it'll be worth it" and "If my friends or anybody who knows me ever read it, I will be...scundered" but I have finally manned the shit up and decided I shall start this shenanigans. Starting is one thing, continuing is a completely different matter I'm more than aware, and for somebody who groans and moans when his mother asks him to do the simplest of tasks, boy it's going to be a challenge! But hey, we'll see what happens.
I am currently mid-exams, mid-revision and mid-losing the bloody will to live. God I hate this time of year, but as grim as study leave is, I will say this. The lie ins are extraordinary, it really is sheer bliss staying sprawled out underneath your bed's duvet for 3784 hours. Then again, you know that whenever your average wake up time (more like average actually getting out of bed after being awake for an hour time) is 1.13 p.m. you are one lazy son of a bitch.
Anyway, one exam has been done, three to go sadly. History Paper 2 is Tuesday 31st May, with a worrying 16 day break before Dickhead Literature, oh sorry - English Literature on 16th June, before finishing on the 22nd June with a Theatre Studies repeat. (I know, should have worked harder the first time, woops!) You may wonder why I chose the word "worrying", but if you aren't one of the people wondering and you know fine rightly that for me, that break could mean doing sweet fuck all for a fortnight, before shitting one self and realizing that I can't sleep for 48 hours whilst cramming like a mad man, then you are right on the button! (Only kidding Grandma!)
It is oh so typical that during the exam period, I have encountered addictions/distractions plenty. (Yeah, cheers you stupid blogging website! But seriously, can I get my time back if I fail my exams?) Who do I email about such matters?) Twitter is leading the race for "Who can destroy Robbie's chances of getting into University first?", and it actually slightly surprises me. I don't even know what Twitter has, or maybe doesn't have, but it so very annoyingly keeps me clicking back onto it. It does though have two close rivals in creeping on Facebook and watching live Chinese pensioners wrestle (naked) for the winner's medal. Close in second place for the attempt to make me fail my A-Levels is the flipping Eclipse Cinema in Downpatrick! I have seen something stupid like 4 films which are currently out, which is actually quite a waste of money (especially when you are a hardcore "Full Moon" purchaser - stuffing your face with a large sweet popcorn on every visit, accompanied with a giant full fat Coca-Cola too) and time, considering that each movie was probably 2 hours. The movies that have been graced with my presence are "Scre4m", "Insidious", "Pirates of the Caribbean 4" - and actually all were pretty good, Pirates of the Caribbean being the fav. of the 3. Then of course "The Hangover Part II" which I saw last night on the first day of it's glorious showing. It really was worrying me "en route" to the cinema, that it would disappoint and simply not live up to the epic name the first movie gained for itself. Well holy god damn. I was proved to be silly for ever thinking such mildly insane things, as it was just as good as the first, and there were just as many lines which displayed humour in its greatest form! The plot was great, and Alan I can safely say was doubly as funny! My favourite line would have to be - "When a monkey nibbles on a penis, it's funny in every language!", but there were a number I remember for making the whole screen roar into laughter. I would recommend everybody to go and see this movie.
It is true though that I will have to brave these inferior distractions, and come out of this a stronger, wiser young male. I will have to push these things to one side, and get knee deep in.......no, no not that, knee deep in revision! So who knows if there ever will be another blog? Who knows will I survive the tedious, long, draining days of constant debate between Twitter or United Irishmen? Who knows will Robbie Dagher ever be seen again? Only fooling, I will check in later bitches. Who am I kidding... nobody will even read this silly excuse of a blog.
What I do know though is, on the 27th May 2011, at thirty six minutes past eleven at night, I may have just started another addiction/distraction. GOD DAMN IT!
Laters, R.
