While it took so long as to suggest less Pony Express than Limping Tortoise Express, this did finally arrive today.
Not that it was ever in doubt or anything, but actually being able to hold it in your hands is pretty darn cool.
But seriously, it took 'em long enough....

lemmonex - I figured you'd be able to relate. And yes, they handle cashing checks like a NASCAR pit crew.

The goal of this album was this…If a listener only had 30 seconds to listen, they would hear the gospel of Jesus Christ! This album came from a year, in depth study of the New Testament. I bought a new bible and decided to really dive in deep into the NT and throughout […]

I picked up this recipe from Food Network's website. I don't really care to watch anything with Paula Deen in it (although I do like her use of butter), but this was the best hamburger I've ever made.
1.5 pounds ground beef, 80% lean
1/2 cup cold water
Salt and Pepper
Mix everything together. Form into hamburgers with a hamburger press. Cook 8 to 10 minutes per side for medium-well done. The water makes them stay extremely juicy.
My one modification to this is that instead of just putting water in, I first mixed the water with a brown gravy mix for extra flavor.

Shortly after the young boy appeared, his mother arrived. With her was a man who had brought his young son; the two boys were about the same age.
The adults purchased a mixed fruit plate and sat at a table on the deck. They shared the fruit and were also feeding pieces to the boys. Some of the melon pieces were so large they filled the hands of the young boys.
As the adults sat and talked, the boys played together on the deck. Then the younger boy, the boy I saw first, did something very funny.
He had a piece of watermelon in his hand. He took a bite and then noticed a large knot hole in the deck. The knot hole was almost two inches across. You could look through it (if you were close enough to the deck) down to the river bank below. Suddenly the boy took what remained of his watermelon chunk and tossed it down the knot hole. Not only did he seem to be very proud of what he had just done, judging from his glee, he seemed to think he had just done the funniest thing ever!
The second boy saw what his friend had just done and decided he'd give it a try. He went to the table and grabbed a piece of watermelon, walked back to the hole and tossed the watermelon down. He must have thought this was grand because he walked back to the table for another piece of watermelon which he then promptly tossed down the hole. Not to be outdone, the boy who discovered this wonder grabbed another piece of fruit and tossed it down the hole.
All the time the boys are playing toss fruit down the hole, the two adults are engrossed in their conversation and haven't noticed their fruit plate being fed to the fish. I am the only one watching this little game unfold. With each piece of fruit that disappeared down the knot hole, I laughed harder and harder.
After three pieces were tossed down the hole by the second boy, his mother finally noticed what he was doing and stopped him. One boy has been taken out of the game but the one who started this little game isn't done yet. Apparently he has picked up on the woman's displeasure with her son. So before he threw the last piece down the hole, he took a small bite of it. I guess he reasoned that it was all right to toss fruit as long as he didn't toss all of it. He took a bite and threw one last piece down the hole.
His dad, who has finally figured out what is going on, clapped his hands to signal an end to the melon tossing. By the time the last piece of fruit went down to the river below, I was laughing so hard I was ready to fall off my chair. This was the funniest routine I'd seen in a long time.

|The finished product
Thanks for having us today!
Thanks Marianne. You make it look easy. Even so I'm guessing I don't have the aptitude for this, so I'm passing it on to my daughter. 'Make your own Christmas I'll say,' and then duck
Thank you for sharing this. Marianne and DD do a lovely job.
Love this blog, I'm just lazy at commenting :(
Merry Christmas!
How cool! I might even be able to do this : )
i'm always amazed at how much more cleverl people are than i. (did that make sense? I'm not sure...)
Those earrings are super cute (though keep me out of the drawing since i have unfortunate metal allergies and wouldn't be able to wear them if i won)
I use to love making jewelry. Esp. for Christmas presents. This is a great post! Gets me in the Christmas spirit just thinking about how much fun I use to have creating lovely and inexpensive gifts for family and friends.
Thanks Maria.
Great craft/project. I love homemade Christmas gifts! They're the best. One year, my Dad made me earrings ...can you believe it? He's usually a gruff man, but he can be so thoughtful with things like that.
This year, he made me a cutting board that Paula Dean and Rachel Ray would die to have! Ha!
He gave it to me already so I can 'use it' for holiday cooking.
Those are beautiful and look really easy to make! Thanks for sharing the steps!
Very beautiful! One of the things I would love to make is jewelry. I've made a few bracelets, including a design using the tiny beads that I bought on a Cherokee reservation at their gift store. May have to try and make something similar. If the writing muse lets me step away from the keyboard long enough :)
I used to make those (or similar ones) all the time in school!!! Ahhhh! Thanks for the blast from the past.
It always looks so easy, but when I try it - Ack!!!
My finished products don't always look like the I'm trying to example I see.
That's why we have daughters!
Sorry - my tongue sure twisted that comment.
I was trying to say "my finished products don't always look like the example I see.
Wow, thanks for the cool post. Earrings like those are super popular in Mexico.
Gorgeous. I'm in awe of people who can create jewellery ... both the ideas they dream up and the fact they have the patience to deal with the fiddliness. I couldn't resist saying how much I like the post, but please don't enter me in the contest ... mail to Australia is expensive and (whispers it) I refuse to pierce my ears...such a coward :)
Love the earrings
They're really pretty. You make it look so easy too :)
I used to make my own earrings all the time. There was a store in Santa Barbara that sold beads and other stuff to make all kinds of jewelry. I loved going into there. You didn't have to buy a package, only the pieces you needed. I miss stores like that!
We have a 'rock' shop in Dallas. Whenever my mother comes to visit, I take her there. She loves to paw at all the pretty stones. She's bought several of the crystals, but I think she has my nieces make the actual jewelry for her.
LOL. Leave it to my mother to run her own personal sweatshop.
My hat is off to you and DD, Marianne. It's very tedious work. It hurts my hands just thinking of those intricate twists and bends.
That was so cool. I'd probably suck at the whole "loop" thing too.
The end result is simply a beautiful pair of earrings that could go quite nicely with a combination of outfits because of the smart choice in colors.
Lovely work Marianne. And can I just say that I've always had a soft spot for needle-nosed pliers.... Make of that what you will. :)
Thanks again, Maria, for having us. And for all the comments. Jenny! It really doesn't hurt (much) to get your ears pierced. Promise...
Kaz, you cracked me up. I nearly snorted coffee onto my keyboard.
Hi Marianne *waves* Very cool!! Hmm might add this to projects to try out in the future :)
it looks so easy, but I love the color pairing.
This one is definitely beyond me. I'm always a bit in awe of such creative people.
So cute. And you make it look so easy! :)
Happy holidays, Marianne!

ASICS running tights, my newVibram FiveFingers Women's Lontra's and multiple layers. I typically don't like to over dress for races but it was like running in Antarctica.
Registration was good. I got my number and cool long sleeved tee shirt without any issues. My husband and I went back to the car to stay warm. About 20 minutes before the race I started warming up and getting use to the cold. Then it was race time! I made my way to the start with the other runners. I was super annoyed we had to wait 5-10 minutes for the reaming people to get out of the park bathrooms.
Don't get me wrong, after three kids my bladder is not what it use to be. But really people...go to the bathroom before you come to the event. Come to the event early and go to the bathroom when there isn't a line!!
|Photo credit
The first couple of miles were going great. My splits were around 10 minute miles! BOOM! Then came some crazy hills and valleys!! My split time increased drastically however I showed some improvements on hurdling the lower obstacles and letting go on a few of the downhills. I was still a little scared of falling but was able to get go in a few spots instead of totally freezing up and stopping.
I ended up finishing 159 out of 175 in a time of 1:10:10. I was proud of myself. I took 2 minutes per mile off my time from the last race and improved by 10 minutes over all. Not too shabby!
The only thing I didn't like about the finish is that no race staff were working the finish line. I know I was at the back of the pack and wasn't expecting cheerleaders and ticker tape but dang! It was super disrespectful to be having awards while people were trying to finish their race. I would like to hope that the reason this was done was because the race had to be out of the pavilion at a certain time but who knows?
Despite the couple of issues I mentioned I still had fun and plan on participating in other races in this series in 2013. I LOVE TRAIL RUNNING!

Applicable Standard
- IAS 10: Events After the Reporting Period
- This standard deals with events that occur between the end of the reporting period, and the date when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
- Adjusting Events
- Events that provide additional evidence relating to conditions existing at the reporting date.
- Such events cast doubt on whether the end of period accounts are correct and hence require adjustment.
- Non-Adjusting Events
- Events concerning conditions which arose after the balance sheet date.
Accounting Treatment
- For 'Adjusting Events', adjust the financial statements
- For 'Non-Adjusting Events'
- If it does not impact the entity's status as a going-concern, only disclose the material events (i.e. events that would influence the economic decisions of financial statements users)
- If it impacts going-concern, present the financial statements on a break-up basis.
Adjusting Events Examples
- Court case settlement: The settlement after the reporting period of a court case that confirms that the entity had a present obligation at the end of the reporting period. The entity adjusts any previously recognised provision related to this court case in accordance with IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets or recognises a new provision.
- Impairment of assets: The receipt of information after the reporting period indicating that an asset was impaired at the end of the reporting period, or that the amount of a previously recognised impairment loss for that asset needs to be adjusted. For example:
- the bankruptcy of a customer that occurs after the reporting period usually confirms that a loss existed at the end of the reporting period on a trade receivable and that the entity needs to adjust the carrying amount of the trade receivable (e.g. bad debt provision);
- the sale of inventories after the reporting period may give evidence about their net realisable value at the end of the reporting period (e.g. should be written down).
- Finalization of prices: The determination after the reporting period of the cost of assets purchased, or the proceeds from assets sold, before the end of the reporting period.
- Finalization of employee benefits: The determination after the reporting period of the amount of profit-sharing or bonus payments, if the entity had a present legal or constructive obligation at the end of the reporting period to make such payments as a result of events before that date.
- Discovery of fraud: The discovery of fraud or errors that show that the financial statements are incorrect.
Non-Adjusting Events Examples
- Declaration of dividends
- Destruction of a plant by fire
- Fall in market value of investments
- Business combinations
- Discontinuation of an operation
- Restructuring
- Shares issuance
- Changes in tax rates
- New contracts resulting in new liabilities

Displaying kids' work is a great way to encourage them to be proud of their creations. We always have art projects and other important items (like a preschool diploma) to display, but we run out of fridge space and magnets pretty quickly. I've been trying to find a kid-friendly solution for this problem for a while. I thought about a bulletin board, but we don't want to deal with tacs. I priced magnetic white boards, but that would have been $200 for 4 big ones. Plus the magnets would get lost and scattered. Then I saw big wooden clothespins in the dollar section at Target and had this idea for a fun and cheaper solution. I plan to make more of these in my kids' rooms too.
What you need:
clothespins (smaller size will work fine)
glossy acrylic paint
wide flat stiffer bristle brush
long painted board, cut to fit your space
extra long drywall screws
1" screws
power drill
- First I disassembled the clothespins by carefully pulling off the metal spring part. I then painted the clothespins halves with glossy acrylic paint using a wide flat stiffer bristle brush. I used the color coding method so each of my kids knows where to hang his or her work.
- Next I got my handy husband to contribute a board scrap from his collection in the garage. Fortunately, this one was already painted. After we decided the right height that would allow our kids to hang their art themselves, he drilled pilot holes in the board about 12" apart. Then he screwed the board to the wall with the extra long drywall screws. (My husband has serious skills with the power drill, so I leave that part to him.)
- Next he screwed the disassembled clothespin halves into the board with 1" screws, covering the long drywall screw head already placed in the board.
- After I reassembled the clothespins with the metal springs and other wooden halves on the board, the kids proudly hung up their recent artwork.

Yesterday, we set out on what would be our last excursion for the summer with a return to León and headed to the northern region of Asturias for a much needed break from classes and activities. Needless to say, the students were as anxious about their inevitable departure from Spain as they were excited to be (finally!) heading to the beach.
Our first stop for the day was to Oviedo, capital of the region, fellow IUHPFL site and probably most well-known for the more than 100 statues that are strategically placed throughout the city. Here are some of the more curious pieces we encountered on our tour.
Then, we made our way to the popular market El Fontán where many students took advantage of the time to purchase fresh fruit, take pictures, or like Kennedy, make friends. :)
After the market, we headed to the cathedral, known formally as the Metropolitan Cathedral Basilica of the Holy Saviour or Cathedral of San Salvador. The cathedral took over three centuries to complete and displays a wide variety of architectural styles and is unique to others we have seen with its one tower, although the original plan called for two it had to be changed due to financial constraints.
While students explored the cathedral or shopped in the nearby plaza, Sara Z. and I found a bakery with carbayones and purchased them for the students to try. A carbayón is a local favorite made with puff pastry, eggs, almonds and sugar.
Coincidentally, the word carbayón is a synonym for the word ovetense, which means "a person from Oviedo."
Once everyone finished eating lunch (and a little shopping), we headed to the hills of Naranco where we would see not 1 but 2 pre-romanic churches, both constructed in the later part of the 9th century. We visited San Miguel de Lillo first.
Then, we made our way down hill to the beautiful Santa María del Naranco. A fun but little known fact is that besides being the setting of the IUHPFL Oviedo group's official photo each year, part of the Woody Allen movie "Vicky Christina Barcelona" was filmed here.
Here's just a glimpse of the incredible view the students had of Oviedo from atop the hill.
And then a few tried to get an even better view. :)

As I mentioned few weeks ago, I'm moving to UK…the city of Canterbury to be exact (somewhere at the southeast of England). Before that I had to endure a long tiring flight Brunei to UK with a short stopover at Dubai.
NOTE: Recalling from memory. And times are in Brunei time (+8 GMT)
7pm (22/9/08) – Take off. Little did I know that it's going to be one long boring flight.
8pm – The first of many meals. I think it was Cheese Omelette. Eating Cheese Omelette while listening to the whole album of Coldplay's Viva La Veda (really good btw…some really good tracks)
10pm – got bored and started to try out the airline's Sky Show with their selection of inflight movies. I chose to watch Kung Fu Panda despite having seen it many times. I think it's one of the best animation to come out in recent years (aside from Wall E but that's more of a sci fi epic while this one's just plain fun) and they're making a sequel which would definitely not be as good as the first one but I would still watch it
11pm – Fell asleep while watching Indiana Jones & the Kingdom of Crystal Skull.
4am – Arrived at Dubai and I think it was around midnight at Dubai. Sadly, I only stayed there for half an hour at the airport. Random info: I saw Azerbaijan airlines for the first time too.
5am – Fell asleep again.
7am – Woke up for awhile…listen to songs…fell asleep again
11am – Woke up and decides to spend the last two hours watching Indiana Jones 4 again and this time managed to finish it. I enjoyed the movie more actually and I thought it was a perfect ending to the series. NO Shia Labeouf/Mutt Williams movie please.
2pm/7am UK time – Arrived at London. Managed to avoid some dogs at the custom. Those were big dogs!
NOTE: Recalling from memory. And times are now in UK time (GMT)
10pm/11pm (23/9/08) – Arrived at Brunei Hall. We quickly decided not to stay and just go straight to Canterbury and get it over with.
12pm/1pm – Went around London (small section of of it). Tried the 'tube'. It rained (creating this dull gloomy windy environment)
2pm/3pm – Hired a van (but he arrived with a bus!) to take us to Canterbury. Long winding journey out of London.
5pm/6pm – Arrived at Canterbury. Got lost for awhile which was also a good opportunity to see the city.
7pm – An international Student Dinner night. I went there and mingle around.
People: So how's your flight?
Me: Boring, it was a long one about 16-17 hours
People: Shit! Really
Me: Yeah.. yeah *drinks*
People: What time did you arrive?
Me: umm..this morning
People: SHIT REALLY!
Me: Yeah!
People: Don't you feel Jetlagged
Me: Jetlagged? kinda…but I'm not really that exhausted
People: So you arrived here at canterbury at what time?
Me: An hour ago
People: Really?! Wow you don't look tired?
Me: I don't? Guess I'm a good actor then
Padahal mata ngantuk mendangar urang belgium ani ceta2. Pasal Politik lagi!!


text: I'm flying JL metal NRT-ORD and connecting to AA ORD-XXX (JL tickets the whole ticket) I'm JL Diamond (OW Emerald) JL allows 4 x 70lbs AA allows 2 x 50lbs I figured when I connect at ORD they will allow me 2 x 50lbs? on the return AA for example CLT-ORD connecting to JL ORD-NRT...what baggage allowance do I get? 4 or 2 bags?

Living the Dream Redux
You think when you Live the Dream, that your days will stretch out languorously and you will have nothing to do, when in fact all kinds of crap-ola fills them up. Today I have to get the invitations out for a baby shower I am giving, pay bills, go to the post office, get an ink cartridge, geesh, I can't keep track. When I'm working I do this stuff with my left hand, but now events like this loom like actual chores.
Am writing a new book with a friend. I think it will be women's fiction, about a man and a woman--SHOCK!!! who meet at a birding convention. I'm excited about it. Anyway, I am going to start something on my own, but it's fun to have this project too. We are going to the Audobon Society today to check out some facts. Of course it will be about more than birds--stay tuned.
I have both air conditioners running today, one in my bedroom and one in the computer room. I suppose my electric bill will be higher. I already pay THREE HUNDRED FREAKING DOLLARS A MONTH for electricity, which I find appalling.
Short post today because of shower invitations. I'm a hell of a gal and don't forget it.
A bientot

Mayor Filner Weighs In On Sequestration And More
Monday, March 4, 2013
San Diego Mayor Bob Filner
San Diego Mayor Bob Filner answered questions from listeners on KPBS Midday Edition, addressing sequestration, his ongoing dispute over tourism funding and his relationship with City Attorney Jan Goldsmith.
Filner has been making headlines recently by holding up money slated for the city of San Diego's tourism marketers.
On KPBS Midday, Filner said tourism is very important to San Diego's economy, but that the contract with the tourism marketing district is a bad deal for the city. He said it gives the TMD $30 million to do whatever they want.
"It's an illegal tax, it's not accountable, and if it's a private deal with hoteliers, why aren't we getting more?" he said.
Filner said he intends to speak up for the "vast majority" of people in San Diego to get a better deal. However, because the TMD's contract was already approved, there are legal questions about whether Filner can require it be renegotiated. Filner said the previous mayor and City Council rushed the deal through before he took office.
"They made one error in rushing it through, they didn't get the signature of the mayor on the final contract, so it comes to me for signature," he said. "So I have the authority under the charter under the strong mayor form of government to sign or not to sign contracts. I decided we needed a better deal. If I can negotiate a better deal it comes back obviously to City Council for approval of that. So I think I have the authority to sign or not sign contracts. That is given to me by the charter of the city of San Diego."
The tourism marketing district is suing the city over Filner's refusal to sign and said it is delaying a summer multimillion dollar marketing campaign for San Diego. But Filner called that "erroneous."
"They could market San Diego, advertising anytime they want," he said. "They don't need me, they don't need the government, they don't need anybody, they just do it. So to say that they need the government to do private marketing I think is absolutely ridiculous."
Filner said when the present agreement expires at the end of the month, he "would be happy to sign an agreement that has some modifications, say less of a term maybe one year at a time for example or that included more indemnification when the city does get sued. I want perhaps more money, but as a matter of fact, they are meeting today to consider what I asked for, which is not let's not go to court, let's continue to talk and let's get a much shorter term in which we can talk about these issues with some breathing space to do that."
Because of Filner's recent public dispute with City Attorney Jan Goldsmith, a caller asked Filner if he thinks the mayor should maintain "a certain level of civility as a leadership figure in this community in order to be an agent of progress."
Filner said he does, but said "you also have to have a mayor who stands up for the people."
"I think you should ask the city attorney why he would read an article in the morning paper, decide I was doing something illegal and he calls a press conference rather than calling me up and saying, 'Bob, you are off on a limb here, let's talk about it, you are my client,'" he said.
Filner said Goldsmith may have had a "lower tone of voice" during the dispute, but said Goldsmith was being unethical and unprofessional.
Because of the city's change to strong mayor, Filner said all of the relationships between the mayor, City Council and city attorney will need to be renegotiated.
"Every city where there is an elected city attorney that I know about has these tensions because it is a built-in system of tension," he said. "Because then you have this case, you have three elected bodies as it were, each one with certain prerogatives and responsibilities and they intersect 100 different ways every day."
Filner has also proposed developing a new parking plan for Balboa Park that involves changing traffic patterns and removing parking spaces. The user TD posted on kpbs.org asking whether Filner's plan violates the same city municipal code that the Irwin Jacobs plan violated.
But Filner said unlike Jacobs, he is not asking for any major changes to the park.
"I'm just really restricting certain things, moving certain parking spaces, changing some of the signs and traffic patterns and I'm doing it on a temporary basis," he said.

This football uniform design was worn at home by the Philadelphia Eagles during the 2007 season. It was worn only once, against the Detroit Lions on September 23, 2007. The uniform was created by Reebok and we currently have 10 Philadelphia Eagles uniforms in our database on Uniform Critics. Take a look at the other uniforms for this team and let us know which one is your favorite by rating them and leaving comments.
Before you can submit your rating for this football uniform, you need to register as a part of our community of uniform critics and log in on the website. What are you waiting for? All the cool kids are doing it!
The Eagles wore their powder blue and yellow throwback jerseys during the home game against the Lions on September 23, 2007. Though the Eagles had a big 56-21 victory, these particular Throwbacks were criticised as being very unattractive. During Sunday Night Football on NBC that week, Keith Olbermann named the Philadelphia Eagles the "Worst Persons in the NFL" for their blue-and-yellow throwback jerseys, citing "Throwbacks? Try throw-ups!". The blue and yellow uniforms, which are the same colors as the flag of the City of Philadelphia, were used by the Eagles, and their predecessors, the defunct Frankford Yellowjackets franchise, until the 1940s when the more familiar pre-Jeffrey Lurie era kelly green was introduced. The kelly green throwbacks from the 1960 season were wore for the 2010 season opener vs. the Green Bay Packers to commemorate the 50th anniversary of when the Eagles beat the Packers to win the 1960 NFL Championship.
At Uniform Critics, we are constantly looking to add more uniforms to our database and complete the uni history for each team. As we mentioned above, we have 10 uniforms in the system for the Philadelphia Eagles, which you can scroll through below the comments section. Give us your feedback on each of them by sumbmitting your rankings and leaving comments. This will help us appropriately analyze the opinions of our community of uniform critics. If you want to become more involved, contact us with any uniforms we are missing and share our website with your friends that are sports fans.

BMW 2001 530i engine not recieving fuel
I know what the problem is but not what to replace
or repair. My engine is not receiving any fuel so it
won't run for more than 2-3 seconds. My father
sprayed starting fluid in a spot that now slips my
mind but it would turn over and run when he did but
soon stop after he stopped spraying the fluid. What
might be the issue with the car? Any help is much
31 Answers
Bad fuel pump. plugged up fuel filter, bad fuel pump fuse.
Fuel pump relay. Are the injectors getting a pulse signal? Check with a noid light. Turn on the ignition key but don't try to start it. You should hear the fuel pump run for a few seconds. If not, check the fuel pump relay first. If the relay is good, I'd suspect the fuel pump is bad. Assuming, of course you checked the fuse. HTH. -Jim
I've also discovered mouse droppings in the back near the battery storage
Oh boy, that's not good. Check the wiring going to the fuel pump. The critters may have chewed through a wire, disabling the fuel pump. Has the car been parked for awhile? Outdoors? Put mothballs in the trunk to get rid of the critters. HTH. -Jim
It has been sitting in a Toyota lot for quite a while as my father is the sales fleet manager for that particular store. It's late now and although I will keep responding I'll have to check what you've told me too in the morning. ThankYou for continuing to help me with this you have no idea how happy I am.
You're welcome, glad to help. Check and see if anything else on the car isn't working. Such as tail lights, stop lights, rear turn signals, etc. If so, I'd definitely suspect critter damage. They like chewing on wires and vacuum lines. Inspect the wiring in the engine compartment as well. Particularly the wiring for the fuel injectors. HTH. -Jim
Alright I'll check it out, I'll most likely respond in about 9-10 hours with a few pictures as I'm not too car Savvy,
Ok, sounds good. Talk to you then. -Jim
Alright here's what it says on the gauges, I also have a few photos of the battery compartment. Is there anything wrong that you can see? Thanks again for the help
Here's battery picture one
And two
When I tried to start the car it attempted to turn over and a yellow light right at empty on the gas gauge came on. Also a "EML" sign appeared next to the normal warnings. These signs only appeared while trying to start the car
Did you confirm that there's gas in the gas tank? Not trying to be a wise guy but the gauge may be off. The wiring and everything looks ok. Did you check that the fuel pump comes on? Turn on the ignition key but don't try to start it. You should hear the fuel pump run for a few seconds. The EML light means the computer has detected a problem with the engine management system. Not 100% sure if that's a concern. Did you check the engine wiring? HTH. -Jim
I'll check now and get back to you
I'm not sure what sound I'm listening for but when I turned the car on just so that it displays the lights and such I do hear a noise but it sounds like someone tapping their nails on a hard surface rapidly. I'll see if it's gas, also here's the engine. The loose part gos where my father sprayed the starting fluid
It'll sound like a small motor running in the gas tank. You'll have to remove the engine top (plastic) cover to inspect the fuel injector wiring. HTH. -Jim
Can't get the top off but I do hear the motor running
Now it just clicks when I try to get it to turn over
Most likely the battery is just run down. You'll need to charge it. Glad the fuel pump is running! To remove the top cover look for a few screw covers. They'll be round and you'll have to pry them off to expose the screws that hold the top cover on. There's like 3 or 4 of them. HTH. -Jim
I found the bolts but had no means of removing them, I'll get my father to charge the battery however and see if that works. You have no idea how scared I was after trying to get it to turn over again and all it did was click, I'm glad that's just a battery problem and I didn't break anything
No problem. Yes, the battery will run down while trying to start a vehicle. No worries though. Glad you found the screws for the top cover as well. Now you can inspect the wiring for the fuel injectors and see if they're getting a trigger pulse. HTH. -Jim
Okay I still haven't been able to check the wiring because I don't have anything able to turn the bolts and I found this while inspecting everything, could this be a problem?
I also found a bunch of unplugged cables such as this one
Also Jim is there any way we could directly talk so we could find the problem easier? This isn't good either is it
The oil filler cap doesn't look bad but all those things unplugged does concern me! Alot! How may of those plugs did you find unplugged? Six? They could be the plugs for the fuel injectors. HTH. -Jim
I sent the picture of the oil cap but it didn't show that inside there is bone dry, I found at least four unplugged cables. Two look like they go in the headlights and i have no idea where the bottom one gos also there's this one
That looks like the coolant temperature sensor. Upon removing the oil cap you won't see any oil. That's just where you put the oil in. It drains to the bottom of the engine where the oil pan is. HTH. - Jim
What about that cable at the bottom or the severed tube
Am i missing a relay?
It also appears that I've dead locked the door and I can't open any others except the drivers with the key itself. Do you know how I could disengage this?
Is the battery charged back up? That vacuum tube could go to several things. There may be a vacuum hose routing diagram under the hood on the emissions decal. Look for a small nipple in the vicinity of the vacuum tube. It doesn't appear that you're missing a relay. Some fuses, maybe. Do you know the history of this car? Finding all these things disconnected makes me wonder. Was someone going to drop another engine in it and gave up on it? Was the engine replaced with a junkyard engine and the person gave up on it? Somebody has definitely been working on this car before you got it. There's an excellent BMW forum called bimmerfest on the internet. Perhaps they can give you more definitive answers. There's a lot of things disconnected which makes this very difficult to diagnose. Especially long distance. HTH. -Jim

Closers nearly always return more value in a trade than they actually should. It seems weird, as teams need ninth inning options to close off one-run leads, but the valuation of closers — especially during the season — is often absurd.
Many playoff contenders this season, including the Los Angeles Dodgers, Tampa Bay Rays and St. Louis Cardinals, have dealt with inconsistencies in their closer role. There are very few selling teams that have "established" closers to trade away this offseason, but the Cleveland Indians are one of them.
Chriz Perez has a career ERA just over 3 and over 300 career saves. Though the Indians are currently straddling the line of being in contention, if they decide to sell, Perez would return a lot of value this offseason.
The Indians spent a lot of money this offseason, getting Michael Bourn and Nick Swisher. Their pitching staff, however, is still extremely inconsistent. If they could get back a strong starting pitching prospect for Perez, it would be a major boost to their system.
With Vinnie Pestano — who is currently on the disabled list — and Joe Smith, the Indians could replace Perez will little loss of production. Because many teams desperately believe that they need a late-inning reliever, the Indians could drive a hard bargain for Perez this July.
Perez has never had a season of over 0.8 WAR, but he has averaged over 32 saves the last three seasons. This valuation of saves over true value of a player would allow the Indians, if they so desire, to move Perez and get substantial value in return.

These days, I mostly tweet here (follow me.) I have plans to go back to longer form writing in one way or another, but I just wanted to share some musical findings.
Okay, so, some of the stuff I really like right now:
Tony Lionni -- Some newcomer who has that spiffy futuristic Detroit Techno vibe, sounds a bit like Omar-S, Keith Worthy, etc.
The OOFT crew -- The Revenge, 6th Borough Project, etc. Bunch of re-edits that are so good it almost sounds like a whole movement, like the new electroclash or something, but in a disco way. I think too much of that sound, as its kinda idiosyncratic, can get old, but moderated right it's really amazing and uplifting.
Jack Penate -- Yeah, that "Tonight's Today" track is great of course, albeit bit stale in a way. The remixes are great though.
Leo Zero -- The guy from A Mountain of One, anything he touches becomes gold.
Bottin "No Static" -- Great new Italo, immediate classic, Bottin is gonna do well.
Originals compiled by Mark 7 -- Another great comp in the Originals series done by Mudd, lots of unclassics and obscurities from this amazing DJ.
Shit Robot "Simpe Things" -- The robot is back, and the new track has its signature sound plastered all over it, but he did this old school house thing, it's pretty lovely.
Fern Kinney "Tonight (Channel 83 edit)" -- Huge classic with a little delicate and elegant edit, the tune is amazing.

"Where'd you vanish to?" Brice asked when Faolán came into his dressing room late that afternoon, when shooting was over for the day.
"I needed to walk, and think," Faolán told him, as he leaned his butt on the edge of the dressing table to watch Brice while he removed his make-up.
Brice arched an eyebrow but remained quiet until he was finished. "Ready to leave?" he asked when he had.
"Yes, if you are."
With a nod and a bit of a smile Brice stood. "Dinner at home?"
"No, I'm taking you out to eat."
"You're what?" Brice looked at him in surprise.
"You know, food, restaurant, date."
"Date huh? Sure, why not. We haven't really done something like that." He looked at Faolán and suddenly realized he was pretty dressed up, for him, in jeans and a nice button-down shirt. Then he smiled when he realized it was one of his. "This looks good on you," he told him, fingering the collar.
"Well since I don't have one of my own… I hope you don't mind."
"Not in the least." Brice put an arm around Faolán's waist, started towards the door and then paused. "Why?"
"Why what?" Faolán replied, feigning innocence.
"Why a date?"
"I'll tell you…later." Faolán kissed him lightly. "For now just go with it. Okay?"
Twenty minutes later Brice glanced over the top of his menu to look at Faolán, who seemed deeply engrossed in deciding what he wanted for dinner. He's leaving and this is his way of letting me down easily. A frown touched his face. But then it was to be expected I guess. With a sigh he went back to reading the menu, although he really wasn't hungry now.
As if he'd read Brice's mind, which he hadn't, Faolán reached across the table to push his menu down so that he could see his lover. "You could at least try to smile," he said quietly. "This is a date. It's supposed to be fun, not torture."
Brice essayed a small smile. "I know. Sorry. I guess I'm just more tired than I thought."
"We don't have to do this. We can go home and…order something fancy to be delivered."
"No. We're here now, and I think," he nodded to the approaching waiter, "it's time to order."
Which they did. Faolán also asked for a bottle of wine after consulting with the waiter. When the man left Faolán took a deep breath as he reached for Brice's hand. "I'm not leaving you."

Waldorf Salad
I make this salad all the time. I love the tartness of the apples with the creamy mayonnaise and crunch of the walnuts. The salad was invented in the late 1800's at the Waldorf Hotel in NYC. You can always add chicken if you want to have it for more of a main course.
1/2 C mayonnaise
1 T sugar
1 tsp lemon juice
1/8 tsp salt
3 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and diced
3/4 C thinly sliced celery
1/2 C chopped walnuts (or pecans work fine)
Whisk the mayonnaise, sugar and salt together. Cut up the apples and sprinkle with the lemon juice. Add the celery and nuts and then combine with the mayonnaise mixture. Chill until you are ready to serve. Bon Appetit!

Hot Chocolate Truffle Balls
I was intrigued by this recipe.
I mean, what could be better than good quality chocolate and whipping cream?
The whole idea behind it just seemed like a fun twist on an old classic.
Hot Chocolate Truffle Balls:
*Makes about 25 hot chocolate balls
4 cups (24 oz) semi-sweet chocolate chips (or really, any combination of chocolate you enjoy)
2 c. heavy cream
3-4 T. sugar (optional, I used it since I used both dark & bittersweet chocolate)
Place chocolate chips & sugar in a medium bowl. Set aside. In a heavy saucepan, bring cream to a light boil. Pour cream over chocolate chips and let sit for a minute or two. Stir to combine - keep stirring. You may wonder if it will ever come together...keep stirring until it is silky and smooth.
Let the mixture cool for about 10 mins at room temperature. Cover the bowl and place in the refrigerator until the ganache is firm but scoopable, about 3 hours. Using a large cookie scoop (mine holds about 3 T.) scoop chocolate and place on parchment paper. Place balls back in refrigerator until firm.
Place each ball onto a piece of plastic wrap, bringing the sides up and tying off with a ribbon. Place balls in the freezer until ready to use.
To make hot chocolate: Pour 1 1/4 - 1 1/2 cups (depending on how rich you like it) milk into a microwave safe mug. When milk is hot, carefully drop one unwrapped truffle ball in the milk. Stir well until the chocolate is combined with the milk.
Bon Appetit!

Based on experience, students should be able to score well for sciences subjects if they follow the suggestions below:
- Pay attention in classes. By paying attention in classes, students should be able to understand the concept taught by teachers. Sometimes, teachers will have interesting facts or memory techniques to share with the class, so as to make the subject easier and more interesting.
- Complete all assignments. Assignments are one of the way to assess student's understanding on a concept.
- Participate in all science practicals. Science practicals are designed to teach students the fundamental techniques of science practicals. However, science practicals can also help students to remember associated facts better.
- Clarify any doubts. After teachers have completed a topic, if students have any doubts, they should clarify with their teachers at the earliest opportunity.
- Source for good notes. Good notes should be available from the teachers ('daily lecture notes'). Quality notes should also be available online.
- Write own notes. This will retain information effectively in the students.
- Practice. As the examinations are approaching, it is likely that teachers will provide students with examination papers. Although it is likely that these papers will not be graded, it is advisable that students practice this paper. Remember the saying: Practice makes Perfect.
- After practising, add on to own notes. This will make the notes more informative, and the content added in may just be assessed during examinations. Students may like to have their notes checked by teacher, so as to ensure that they are learning the correct concepts.
- Revise. Before the paper itself, revise using personal notes, especially for the topics that students are weaker in.
Please share with us any suggestions that you have for students taking sciences by e-mailing to us at firstname.lastname@example.com.

In the mean time, here are a collection of links related to Social Security I've found interesting and useful:
- The Social Security Administration. Of particular interest are the 'Actuarial Resources' (e.g. what does the financial future for Social Security look like?)
- A rather interesting article describing just how poorly many Americans are saving for retirement.
- The Century Foundation has a site dedicated to Social Security reform. I can't yet tell where they fit into the political landscape but they make some intersting points. Still trying to figure out the types of charged particles here.
- I haven't yet read President Bush's position on Social Security, Retirement Security, and Medicare
- The Cato Institute, a conservative thinktank, always seems to have something to say. So it's no surprise they have a big site about Social Security reform. Lots of charged particles that are useful, as long as you account for their spin.
I'm sure I'll find many more.

With extremely varied multiple calls at this time of year,
they can be confusing (the calls), there is nothing confusing
about this big bold aggressive tit.
Less agile than the smaller tits it feeds more on the ground
than some of its cousins.
It eats insects, seeds, berries and nuts, especially tree seeds
in autumn and winter and is a common visitor to bird tables.
It's nest is a cup of moss, leaves and grass in a natural hole or
nest box. It has 5-11 eggs in one brood April to May.
My photographic trials and tribulations on walks and visits to birding sites near to home in Yorkshire and further afield.

may recap:
- worked on memorising jeremiah 31:3
- god has been really teaching me some interesting stuff that i'll share as things progress, but it's been a great journey
- started reading and using the power of a praying wife - what an excellent book - giving specific words to my prayers for le boy it is such a fantastic resource.
- the london train by tessa hadley - a nice read, although about an affair which i must confess, i have a hard time reading about, i'd prefer not to be necessarily exposed to those thoughts :)
- the sweet life in paris by david lebovitz - another food memoir, it's wonderful and full of recipes, but i find with food memoirs that i can pick them up and put them down easily, each chapter is a stand alone story, i like for this reason and find them intolerable for the same.
- crazy love by francis chan - i'm stuck in the middle of this, it's a slightly uncomfortable read, and i want to take my time, but slowly we'll get there.
- i started and stopped a diet plan. and i'm counting this a success - the diet made me intolerable, and intolerant, i've decided that i need access to all food groups, everyday. so carbs are back in, just fewer of them, and i'm enjoying what i eat and trying to be conscious of my overall health and diet.
- i'm seeing real gains in my strength and fitness - i can leg press more than 100 kgs! which is a huge step forward in the recovery land. and i went for a short run the other without a need to stop, which i feel means that my cardiovascular fitness is starting to return also.
- i didn't bake more or finish the cardigan, but it's almost finished and the baking, well, it can wait for this month.
::june intentions::
- my memory work has really taken a hit this month, my goal is to make up for it over june and july and get back on track by memorising 6 scriptures over two months.
- work is at its height in june, so i might just try to immerse myself in some good fiction reading that keeps me coming back for the sheer enjoyment of story
- i'm also loving podcasts (as always) and i want to make sure i'm thinking while i'm listening to them.
- we have signed up for a 5 km run in mid-july, i'd really like to make it round the course without stopping, i don't care about my final time, but this means a little bit more running training
- consolidate my projects and finish ones that have been started and not finished. i'm terrible for this. i'd also like to start an ordered list of what project to do next - so that i'm not just caught by fancy, but regardless, this will be high up on the list.

Organic farming
Keeping our mission of nutritional, environmental, economic and health benefits for society in mind, J. B. United has plans to begin organic agriculture farming without chemicals or pesticides on 500 acres of land in 2015-16.
Current figures show that it will be difficult for the present agricultural sector to meet the food demands of the future. Organic farming is a system which avoids the use of synthetic inputs such as fertilizers, pesticides, hormones, feed additives, etc. Awareness of the benefits of organic food has grown significantly in recent years, and demand has been steadily increasing. In order to meet this demand we anticipate a huge competition in the market to tap land resources for organic agriculture. J. B. United has entered into corporate agriculture to make a valuable contribution to the agricultural sector.
Our mission
To promote natural organic food for healthier life.
Current Activities
Before implementing its plans for cultivating 500 acres of land for organic farming, J. B. United has chosen a site of approximately 16.65 acres to begin cultivating test units for small test samples of organic fruits, organic vegetables, organic flowers and naturally-sustained live animals.
The samples will aid in an economic analysis and help to anticipate and overcome various difficulties faced during the production process. Initial samples will be around 50+ species of fruits, flowers, vegetables and live animals.

Barton Perreira Eyewear
Bill Barton was the former President at Oliver Peoples Inc, while Patty Perreira held the title of Head Designer for the same company. Together Bill and Patty helped bring a relatively small eyewear company into the 60 million dollar company it is today. After this success, Bill and Patty set out to make their own line of ultra-cool eyewear, and Barton Perreira has been a breakout success.
The Barton Perreira eyeglasses line includes luxury sunglasses and eyeglasses for men and women that have a retro conservative design with richly pigmented enamel, minimal branding and carbon fiber inlays at the temple tips of some designs which serves as the brand log.
Everything in the Barton Perreira line is hand made in Japan by meticulous Japanese craftsmen using superior materials. Titanium core wiring in the frame temples makes each frame easily customizable to you and better able to keep its unique form. Barton Perreira believes that every face is unique, and like perfectly tailored luxury clothing, luxury eyewear should be perfectly fitted to the wearer's face.
Barton Perreira eyewear utilizes a resin based polymer plastic material called zyl, which is lightweight, durable and maintains a deep gloss. This zyl is tumbled for days, and then hand polished twice by Japanese craftsmen to render a highly polished, smooth surface.
Barton Perreira's luxury eyewear line features lenses that have 100% UV protection. Some lenses are made from CR-39, which is the same material that opticians use to make prescription lenses, while others styles use mineral glass lenses. Mineral glass lenses offer the best visual clarity and is more scratch resistant than plastic.
Each style is produced in limited quantities, making each piece exclusive and unique.
Spotted on A list celebrities such as Angeline Jolie, Brad Pitt, and Orlando Bloom to name a few!

Anyone have good book suggestions on
Anyone have good book suggestions on "ki"?
I have to eventually write a paper on "ki" and want to get a head start on it.
Re: Anyone have good book suggestions on
There was this one book by this guy who has an uchi deshi program in Denver, forgot his name. Runs "Domo" restaurant. Wrote "Aikido for Life," or something like that, and a book (maybe it was that one) which was about what living as an uchi deshi was like. I remember reading a section on "ki" in one of his books. In that section, he was like, "What is ki? Can you point to it? If it really exists, then what is its texture, etc?" He then exposed a bunch of common tricks that many aikido teachers apparently say prove the power of ki, giving common sense explanations showing how it was physics, rather than some mysterious, free-floating life-force. He also had a section that was like, "Just as you can't find ki, you can't find mind," or something like that. It was interesting, and had a more common sense approach to things like ki which was refreshing. If I remember the name of the book and author, I'll tell you, unless someone else does first. I'll check the library over the weekend or a little later.
edit: Mitsugi Saotome Sensei's books have some good stuff on ki. Aikido and the Harmony of Nature has lots of complicated stuff (Chapter 10--Ki and Kokyu). I think either the introduction to Aikido and the Harmony of Nature or The Principles of Aikido had a good explanation or theory of what ki was, comparing the Japanese concept of ki to other cultures.'
Re: Anyone have good book suggestions on
Re: Anyone have good book suggestions on
If you are writing a paper on ki you'll need more than a good book! I would suggest looking at the chinese origins of the concept (i.e. chi), rather than just what aikidoka have picked up from Japan. I think it's a very adventurous project; maybe you should think of exploring just one small aspect of ki/chi - there are volumes and volumes on ki/chi in the area of health. You probably need an angle e.g. 'is there any proof for the existence of ki?'
Re: Anyone have good book suggestions on
Thank you, and thanks, everyone else so far!!
Re: Anyone have good book suggestions on
Tohei's Book Ki in Everyday life. He really tried to break the concepts down to something that could be understood and taught. This book summarizes his first book The Book of Ki: Coordinating Mind and Body. Both are 'must reads'.
Re: Anyone have good book suggestions on
Aikido and the Dynamic Sphere. First book i got and then i took aikido. Very interesting and tells alot of the philosophy of aikido. As well as technique.
Re: Anyone have good book suggestions on
Ah...you beat me to it Larry... :D
I have to agree with Ian. You might want to write on one point of ki, being as it's the base for countless volumes of material.
Re: Anyone have good book suggestions on
Two others worth considering:
"On Mastering Aikido", Daniel Linden, Linden Tree Press, Orlando, 2004 (ISBN 0-9746459-0-7) and "Aikido Basics", Phong Thong Dang and Lynn Seiser, Tuttle Publishing, Boston, 2003 (ISBN 0-8048-3490-3). I had to order the Linden book from the publisher, but found the Dang/Seiser book at a local Barnes and Noble.
Both offer pretty good discussions on ki with a bent to explain in western terms. Lynn Seiser contributes here frequently too. Narrowing the paper is an excellent idea as well. Good luck with the paper.
Re: Anyone have good book suggestions on
From a practical standpoint, Carol Shifflett's book can't be beat http://shop.store.yahoo.com/roundear...naiksamof.html
Re: Anyone have good book suggestions on
Kodansha Intl. publishes a Japanese language book series called Power Japanese. There is a whole volume about ki and how it is variously used in the language. It is only about ten dollars.

For the last 13 years, Jonathan has been featured twice on television. One for the President's Start Charity where funds are raised through a television program and distributed to more than 40 charities selected by the President of Singapore.
the other was a documentary by a group of university students who had a final year project to complete and decided to use this opportunity to raise awareness about children with special needs in Singapore.
You can watch the documentary HERE.
MORGAN'S WONDERLAND, together with BLOGGERS UNITE have come together to encourage bloggers to share their experiences on empowering people with disabilities.
I'm glad I could share my experiences on being Jonathan's caregiver. It's a joy to see university students doing the early intervention courses telling me that they have learned alot with my sharing.
I hope more awareness will be reached throughout the world. More so, I'm very thankful that there are places like Morgan's Wonderland where many children and adults with special needs can have a place to have fun and enjoy rides where other theme parks don't offer.

Essentials for my Fridge/Pantry
My friend Amanda kindly requested that I post a blog about what I typically have in my kitchen, so here goes! These are things that I usually have on hand, in no particular order of preference.
1. Extra virgin olive oil: my favorite oil. I use this to saute anything and everything. I only use canola oil for making popcorn. I never saute in butter.
2. Canola oil: Which brings me to canola oil. Unless you're a stovetop popcorn lover like me or plan on doing some deep frying, I wouldn't have this in stock. Like I said, it's necessary for popcorn, as olive oil has a lower burning point.
3. Popcorn: 8 lbs. of it. From Costco. I have a big bowl of this stuff (all to MYSELF) at least once a week. (Note: Get yourself a whirley pop. It's a life saver.)
4. Nutritional yeast: Best stuff ever. I put it on popcorn, toast, soup, etc. A great cheese supplement for vegans.
5. Whole wheat bread: I check the calories on this. I try to get a loaf that is only 90-100 cals a slice. I usually have a slice for breakfast every morning, slathered in almond butter.
6. Almond butter: I can (and have) eat this stuff with a spoon. With honey. On toast. So good.
7. Apples: An apple a day keeps the doctor away. Or so they say. I just like eating an apple everyday because it's filling, sweet, refreshing, and healthy. Plus, it apparently freshens breath.
8. Bananas: Ditto. I eat a banana every day as a mid-morning snack, usually around 10am.
9. Whole wheat pasta: For a speedy dinner, whole pasta can be dressed and seasoned in a bajillion ways. I never buy white pasta. Sometimes egg noodles. But usually whole wheat. It's just better for you.
10. Veggie bacon: I love Morningstar veggie bacon. It stays in the freezer forever and two slices are only 60 calories! It's great crumbled in bits on top of pasta or eggs.
11. Parmesan cheese: I always have some of this in my fridge. I like it because it has a strong, nutty taste lovely for topping pasta with. Plus it's pretty lean and not as fatty as other cheeses. Yum.
12. Protein bars: My faves are Luna bars or Clifbars. I used to love Zone bars, but have since grown sick of them. I rock climb a couple nights a week and to sustain myself until I get home for dinner, I always try to remember to pack a protein bar.
13. Bell Peppers: Raw or sauteed in a stir fry, bell peppers are super healthy for you. And they don't really even taste like a "veggie" if that's what you're worried about. Kind of mildly sweet.
14. Soybeans (shelled): Trader Joe's has a bag of this for just a buck. Or maybe $1.99. In any case, super cheap. Simply boil for 5 minutes, drain, and serve in stir fry or eat as is.
15. Lowfat/skim mozarella string cheese: Trader Joe's sells a pack of 12, at just 60 cals each.
16. Almond flour: This one really is a staple. I use it in everything. I make bakewell tart with it, almond pancakes, or eat it for breakfast (warmed in milk, instead of oatmeal).
17. Almonds: Nuff said. Duh. Salted and roasted. Yum.
18. Honey: I love it on toast, in oatmeal or almondmeal, in tea. It's just good.
19. Green tea: Green tea is a great appetite suppressant and helps metabolize too.
20. Ice cream: I try to eat this sparingly, but man. It's been almost every night lately. For dessert. I allow myself to indulge in ice cream. So what? No shame. Everything in moderation. My faves are vanilla soy or coffee almond fudge.
Well, I think twenty things is good for now. Hopefully this list helps you figure out what essentials to keep in YOUR kitchen.

Fun! Thank you 🙂 Where do you buy this nutritional yeast of yours? That popcorn you made on Saturday with it and the paprika was sooooo good.

Last night was my friend Priscilla's birthday and we celebrated at Bj's Brewhouse.
It was a much needed night with friends after a long week of packing and unpacking, organizing and purging.
Originally, we wanted a sitter so we could enjoy some drinks...but the way it worked out was us just bringing him, and Justin letting me order a drink while he sipped water.
It's the sacrifice of being a parent sometimes, but truthfully, we weren't the only one with the dilemma of a sitter...everyone brought their little ones! You see we're each other's sitters!
We all just kept it low key, but honestly, we know how to have a good time regardless.
Justin did take the liberty of ordering me a "Naughty Brunette" ( a dark beer, my fav) in hopes that it would somehow make me naughty? LOL
Honey, it's gonna take a few more than that!
Then the servers brought Priscilla three birthday desserts which we gave to the kids and they ate them all to themselves! I guess we had filled up on beer and pizza!

Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel break up
Sheknows has mixed feelings about the reported break up between Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel. Assuming it's true, we're losing one of our most adorable celeb pairings… but that means uber hot Timberlake is back on the market!
After almost three years breaking up and making up, word of this Justin Timberlake Jessica Biel break-up came from a "pal" who told US that Timberlake called things off about a month ago -- over the phone! Ouch.
JT is described as "on the hunt" for some FutureSex/LoveSounds since the alleged breakup and was even spotted in a hot dance session with a blonde on September 9, which we're hoping was after the ill-fated phone call.
Timberlake and Biel were still together back in June when Lindsay Lohan's Twitter page reported that she'd spotted him cheating. Lohan later claimed her page was hacked, but The Daily News reported continued tension for the gorgeous couple a month later.
There were also reports that Timberlake was trying to win back Biel's trust, which doesn't quite match the tone of today's big breakup news.
The US cover story has Biel "refusing to let go," with sources slamming her for being "extremely needy" and "always keeping tabs on him."
As if being broken up with via phone wouldn't hurt enough!
Timberlake and his last love Cameron Diaz also broke up amid chatter about a JT dalliance, this time with Scarlett Johansson. To counteract the "speculation and the number of inaccurate stories that are being reported by the media," JT and Diaz released a joint statement that they'd broken up.
His first love Britney Spears, however, is still tainted by the rumors surrounding their breakup. JT managed to walk away the good guy, leaving everyone believing she cheated on him, whether or not it's true.
Speaking of truth...SheKnows won't really believe this breakup is real until we hear official confirmation from the Timberlake and/or Biel camps and even then, we're not sure we'll believe it!
This isn't the first break up for the pair since tabloids outted them as a budding couple in January 2007 and it certainly isn't the first reported break up. Rumors were swirling just last April, but were quickly quashed. All we can confirm is that no one's quashed the story this time...yet?

Unified Communications
Have you heard of Unified Communication? Maybe you heard it in connection to Voice over IP (VoIP) or hosted phone solutions. But it is so much more than that. Are you still running around the office between the desktop phone, the printer and fax machine, your voicemail storage, while sitting down to answer emails and answer messages in a separate online system. You remember getting some numbers from Bill in Finance, but did he share those over email, in a voicemail, or text them to you? You end up searching everywhere, making you late for a meeting. Conversations and threads of discussion can end up spread over half a dozen different devices and tools - leading to confusion and loss of productivity. We believe that Unified Communication solutions are the answer to this ever-growing problem.
What do these solutions do? Well, they centralize your business communications, so you can find everything in one place. In addition to feature-rich phone systems, you can collaborate more easily with applications such as Cisco's Unified Communication Clients. Move your calls, video conferencing, messaging, and directories all to one application. Not sure when your colleagues are available for a call? Stop playing phone tag and check their online presence - it'll tell you if Jill is in a meeting, away from her desk, or available. This allows for better collaboration within teams. It becomes much easier to share those finance numbers from Bill when you're just copying them from your messenger over to a team-wide email. Integrate your many communication solutions into one, central system.
Communications Technology, Inc. has a long standing partnership with NEC. CTI has carried the NEC brand for years, giving our customers the best experience in service and support of their NEC system. Our offering is a traditional TDM solution that fits some clients better than our VoIP offerings.
Enterprise class phone system at an SMB price - think advanced unified communication systems are beyond your reach? Think again. Switchvox is a feature-rich business phone system that is affordable and easy to use.

Sweet Lullaby of The Caledonian Sleeper
By Ed Rex
Stepping into the cold dark night of London Euston Station, I squinted through the steam that enveloped round the platform. A distinct mechanical hiss startled me and a figure came towards me huddling its clipboard to her. She lifted her ScotRail cap and peeking her brown eyes at me, she uttered the words that was to give me a journey I've always wanted to go on.
'Caledonian Sleeper Sir?'
I nodded my head and she whisked me through the mist and glinting in all of its glory, was the train designed to glide sleeping bodies through the backbone of Great Britain into the heart of Scotland itself.
'Have a good journey Sir.'
I climbed aboard and smiled, this is always what I wanted to do. I admit I'm a train addict but I've yet to have gone on a sleeper train. There were the visions of the olden days where people would wave goodbye to their loved ones and have 'brief encounters' albeit not of the third kind. Sadly, times have moved on and there wasn't waving me off. But this IS still the Caledonian Sleeper and I grinned ear to ear as I was shown to my berth by the carriage attendant.
The attendant in his dashing uniform explained the rules and told me what would be on offer, and would I want Breakfast? Yes siree! As he went to see the other passengers, I gazed round. Sure I had my own bed, snug enough to keep me rocking to the sway of the moving train, my personal light for reading, my intercom button to call the attendant, my very own washbasin and many more.
All of a sudden, the lights outside my window started drifting, this meant we are on the move and I didn't feel a thing. I rushed out of my berth to the carriage door, pulled the window down and hung my head out as we picked up speed straight out of smokey London. As exhilarated I was, travelling at midnight on a mysterious train thrilled me. Little did the rest of Britain know such a service was possible and this was going to be my well kept secret.
Changing into my robe, I wandered through to the Lounge car to find other people sat also in their robes reading papers, magazines and books. I smiled shyly at them and they shyly smiled back. With my cup of hot chocolate that I ordered, I watched the dark countryside go by and immediately got into conversation with a Scottish man from Fife. Truly an experience as I hardly understood his accent! But in the end, we chatted about Edinburgh, my destination, and he gave me a good few tips and possibly a few Scottish intonations.
Soon, people drifted off and feeling my eyes closing, I wrapped myself in my blankets and switched off the lights. The only light coming in was the waning moon still light enough to illuminate the moorlands of England. As the train rumbled and tumbled, my eyes fell immediately shut and I was at peace with the world.
With a wake up call of the train horn distantly blaring, waking me up as dawn arrived, I rubbed my eyes and felt refreshed ready to take on Scotland. A short rap on the door turned out to be the same attendant still immaculately dressed in his uniform ready to serve breakfast of croissanty goodness.
Standard at my berth door, sipping my cup of tea, I silently watched at the different variety of people stumbled out of their berths clutching onto their luggage, family as they squeezed past each other in the narrow corridor. I said good morning. It truly was. Just as it suddenly started, the hustle and bustle was all over. Now it was my turn to leave. I heaved my backpack onto my shoulders and gave my berth a glance, this truly was a sweet lullaby of a journey.
Stepping off The Caledonian Sleeper, staring up at Edinburgh, I immediately felt I have actually achieved and matured as a person. Sure enough, it was just a sleep on a train but you know what? I actually rode on The Caledonian Sleeper. Tell me many people do that.

On Kim Holmes blog she challenged everyone to dwell on the good moments in life and not the overwelming worries that seem to be all around right now. The challenge was to blog every day about a moment that made you smile that day.
Today I ran a few errands, returning items we didn't use at Alexis' birthday party and whatnot. While out and about I stopped at a store that I have always wanted to check out, its called Plato's Closet. They buy and sell used name brand clothes. So I took a few shirts into the dressing room. I tried on a cute but simple red top, looked in the mirror and smiled. So cute. I love it when I find something that makes me confortable in my own body. Best part it was only 7 dollars.
Ok, Ok... I know what you're thinking. How entirely materialistic of you. But I have to start somewhere.

Princess Party!
I had so much fun planning Alexis' princess party but the best part is that Alexis loved it, she said the house looked like her dream house.
We decorated cupcakes.
Each girl got a pixie stick flower wand.
We decorated tiaras with glitter and gems.
The princess thone (Thanks Rachel & Jillian for letting us borrow it)
All the dress up jewelry and make up a 6 year old girl could hope for.

Happy Birthday Alexis!
Today is my daughter's 6th birthday. I feel so lucky to have her in my life. She is the most wonderful little girl a mother could hope for. I see me in her, I see her father in her but I see she is herself and she is going to be an amazing women. Her favorite thing to do is to "Give love away because it makes her feel good" We can all learn something from that. I love her so much.

Saturday Scrapbooking
I have actually had time to scrapbook this week. Here are the pages I completed.
I just love these pictures of Shayne. This was from our trip to PA in the fall of 2006.
Product: I drew the tree and cut it out. The patterned paper and letter stickers are Basic Grey. The journaling circle is Jillibean Soup. Misc buttons.
Aren't these girls just adorable! This is Alexis and her BFFs. Its so cute that all their names start with the letter A.
Product: The cardstock, patterned paper, flower pin and stamp are all from the Sept kit at Dixiepieces.com. It was an amazing kit this month. The letter "A" is from Michael's dollar bin.
Alexis loves to play picnic tea party. After I got laid off earlier this year we've had more time to play together. On this particular occasion Neo joined in the the fun.

Its Tuesday?
I keep having to remind myself that its Tuesday. And crazier than its already Tuesday that its already Sept 15th. Alexis' birthday is Sept 24th and I'm busy planning her princess party. I still need some costume jewelery for the girls to play dress up with, let me know if you have any I can borrow or if you have any pretty wigs, I need those too. I designed the invitation from a digital kit I bought on Scrapgirls.com. Let me know what you think about the invite, I'm pretty happy with it.

The start of school
Alexis started kindergarten yesterday. Lets just say it was tough letting her go. I didn't want to admit that she is growing up. Not my baby girl.
She did fabulous at school, she loves her teacher (says she seems really nice), she's already made a "BFF" (yes she called it that) and she rode the bus home without problems (though she almost forgot her backpack on the bus). I'm so happy that she's adjusted so quickly. It could be because she has an awesome BIG brother to look up to!
As preparation for her being at school all day (did I mention she's in all day kindergarden?) I made her a mini album that she can keep in her backpack that has pictures of our family.

Lets not forget Shayne started 3rd grade this year. He's getting so big. He's excited to be learning cursive again (he learned it in kindergarden but has forgotten most of it) and ofcourse that he gets to see his friends again.

Halloween kick
I have been working on a bunch of layouts of last years halloween celebration and traditions. There are so many great paperlines out right now for halloween. Enjoy!
I just read this great quote on elizabethkartchner.blogspot.com. I had to share it.
"Don't let fear of failure discourage you. Don't let the voice of critics paralyze you—whether that voice comes from the outside or the inside. You are a great power for good. You will make the world a better place. Lift up your chin; walk tall. God loves you."D.F. Uchtdorf

What a cutie!
Yesterday our friends James, Rachel and their kids Josh, Jillian and Monica came over for dinner. Its embaressing to say that it was their first time seeing our house since we moved in a little over a year ago. We used to have dinner dates fairly regularly when we lived near them in Lake Stevens. And we're hoping (though we say this everytime we see each other) to see each other more often. Towards the end of the wonderful evening, I got my camera out. Monica was being so cute. The pics turned out so great and I had fun playing with them in Photoshop Elements.

Daddy's star
I completed this layout for the challenge at ScrapTiffany's blog. I love the colors and how easy it came together. I used a design sketch from the Sept Sketch Challenge at Dixie Pieces. I was so happy with it but it was when Steve and Shayne saw it that I really thought "This is why I scrapbook". They both loved it also. The journaling say "win or lose we're never prouder than when you try your best. 1st year wrestling. Lake Stevens 2007-2008"
Another "Wrestling" layout
I had a few other snapshots of Shayne on the mat. The journaling says "Daddy likes that you're excersizing, you like that you get to take kids down, I like it that you two are spending time together".
Friday, September 4, 2009
Here's my latest page. This was for the Sense-ational challenge at Dixie Pieces. The challenge was to represent a sound of summer. The page had to incorporate sewing, painting, hand cutting and doodling.
New haircuts for the kids
School starts next week. The last thing on my list to be ready for school was to get the kids hair cut. We went to the Great Clips by my house. Each time I go to a "walk in" salon I wonder when I'm going to start taking them to a full service salon. Where they get their hair washed, cut and styled not just a spray bottle, clip and go. The kids don't seem to mind and their hair turned out great. For Alexis I had to take her home, wash it and style it myself before I decided it was a great cut. For the price we'll have to stick with walk in service for now. But I know the day is coming.

Developmental Stages in Children and Adolscents
Erica Bass
May 7, 2012
Andrew Fletcher
PSY 104 – Child and Adolescent Development
Developmental Stages in Children and Adolescents
In exploring the differences in children and why and how they develop can be quite interesting. There are many different theories that suggest different explanations as to why children develop when they do, whether it is cognitive, socially, mentally, etc. Three very interesting theories are Kohlberg's moral development theory, Piaget's cognitive theory and Freud's psychosexual theory. How does each of these theories pertain to the average child, and can these theories work together? First let us explore three very different theories, the first being Kohlberg's theory of moral development. Moral development is a major topic of interest in both psychology and education. One of the best known theories was developed by psychologist Lawrence Kohlberg who modified and expanded upon Jean Piaget's work to form a theory that explained the development of moral reasoning. Kohlberg extended Piaget's theory, proposing that moral development is a continual process that occurs throughout the lifespan. Piaget described a two-stage process of moral development, while Kohlberg's theory of moral development outlined six stages within three different levels, which are outlined below: * Level 1. Preconventional Morality
* Stage 1 – Obedience and Punishment - at this stage children see rules as fixed and absolute, they view rules as being important because they avoid punishment * Stage 2 – Individualism and Exchange – at this stage children account for individual points of view and judge actions based on how they serve individual needs * Level 2. Conventional Morality
* Stage 3 – Interpersonal Relationships – at this stage the focus is on living up to social expectations and roles. * Stage 4 – Maintaining Social Order – at this stage the focus is on following rules...

|Spinach and Tofu Mini Quiches with Potato Crust
Dewey [the feline]: Are you certain you can make mini quiches that are easy and do not include nutritional yeast? Meow.
Me [the human]: Yes Dewey, I am certain. I have never heard you use the word certain. Good job at improving your vocabulary. Cheers!
|Dewey in the middle with Othello (left) and Paulina (right)
|Spinach and Tofu Mini Quiches with Potato Crust
Crust Ingredients
2 large potatoes, peeled and grated (I used Red Russet potatoes)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
10-oz package (about 1 cup) chopped frozen spinach, defrosted
14-oz package organic lite firm tofu (I used Nasoya brand)
4 garlic cloves
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon turmeric
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
Preheat the oven to 400 F. Peel and grate the potatoes. Drain the excess liquid by squeezing the potatoes in your hands (do not omit). Add salt, pepper and onion powder. Mix well. Coat muffin tin with a non-stick cooking spray generously. Fill each muffin cup with potato mixture (about 1 tablespoon), pat it down while spreading it evenly. Spray with non-stick cooking spray and bake for 10-15 minutes. Remove from the oven and lower the heat to 350 F.
While the crust is cooking, make the filling. In a food processor or high speed blender, add garlic and pulse until minced. Add the remaining ingredients except for the spinach. Mix until smooth and creamy. Drain the excess liquid from spinach by squeezing the spinach in your hands (do not omit). In a large bowl, combine the tofu mixture and drained spinach. Mix well. Fill each muffin cup with tofu and spinach mixture (about 1 tablespoon) and spread it evenly on top of the potato crust. Be sure to cover the potato crust with the filling to prevent from burning. Coat with cooking spray and bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes. Allow 10-15 minutes for cooling before removing from muffin tin.

Series such as The Great South African Bake Off and Cake Boss have made whipping up your own sweet treats a hot trend.
Author of the book Sweet Sam Linsell offers us 10 quintessential kitchen utensils every baker/sweet-thing maker needs in their cupboards.
Stand Mixer
If you are going to take baking seriously you will need a stand mixer. It is an essential appliance when making meringues or pavlova or any other recipe where an extensive amount of whipping takes place. It has multiple attachments, including a dough hook, which takes some of the hard work out of bread making. The beauty of a stand mixer is while it is beating your batter, you can busy yourself with other things
Cake tins, pans and trays
You will need a basic collection of tins, pans and baking sheets. Among those should be two large baking trays for biscuits, cake tins and muffin pans.
Baking paper
Today, you can buy silicone-baking paper to line trays and tins and this is essential for some cookies and cakes. They prevent the baked goods from burning by providing insulation, and are 100 percent reusable, so you are saving on paper and waste. If you don't have silicone, non-stick baking paper is necessary.
A few spatulas make life easier in the baking department as you will want to scrape down your bowls. Silicone spatulas are heat resistant so you can also stir hot, sugary sauces. An off-set stainless steel spatula is an invaluable tool when it comes to spreading icing or smoothing out surfaces.
Sugar thermometer
If you are planning on any kind of sugar work, a thermometer (preferably digital) is essential. You can monitor to the exact temperature of your sugar solution, which is critical when making confectionery, fudge or any kind of caramel. It takes the guesswork out of what is scientific.
Mixing bowls
You will need a few good mixing bowls of varying sizes when baking, as often recipes will require using more than one. It's a good idea to have them in a variety of materials, including heat-proof glass or ceramic, as these are handy for melting chocolate, etc. Plastic bowls are light, easy to store and to clean.
Measuring utensils
Measuring cups and spoons are part and parcel of all baking recipes, so you will need at least a set of each. Metal ones are more durable than plastic, which tend to break.
A good scale
Baking is a science and recipes that weigh ingredients are better than those which don't. You can achieve a greater degree of accuracy, which ensures perfect results. Have a digital scale that you can put plates or bowls on. That way you can use your existing containers to weigh your ingredients.
Cooling racks
Metal cooling racks are essential items to have as they allow air to circulate around the hot pans as they come out the oven, thereby preventing baked goods from going soggy or browning or over-cooking.
Rolling pin
A good rolling pin – either a one-piece or one with handles on either end – is essential for rolling out pastry or other forms of dough.
