|Snow will change to rain once again across Quebec and New England.
Despite the differences between the Global and European weather models that help with the forecast, it appears the upcoming winter storm will leave Montreal on the warm side of its path once again. As was the scenario last Wednesday, a difference of 100 kilometres can be the difference between snow or rain. At this time, it looks like the heaviest snow will fall in a swath through central Ontario near Lake Huron, north and east across the Pontiac region of Quebec and well to the north of Montreal. Temperatures will rise from -1C (30F) Wednesday afternoon in Montreal, over the freezing point and up to 4C (40F) by Thursday morning.
Low pressure is forecast to develop over Texas today and slowly move north and east towards the Ohio Valley while strengthening. Currently the storm is forecast to move down the St. Lawrence Valley on Thursday. Along with this system will be a surge of moisture and warm air into southern Quebec. After a cloudy day today, the chances for light snow will increase on Wednesday along with gusty winds up to 50km/h. The snow will accumulate up to 5cm in Montreal before mixing with and changing to freezing rain and eventually plain rain by late Wednesday night. In Montreal the rain will continue into Thursday and may be rather heavy at times. There is still some uncertainty concerning the exact track of the storm, but it is becoming quite likely we will see more rain than frozen precipitation here in Quebec.

I woke up still seething about last night, trying to verbalise my angst and frustrations, but also trying to balance, and if only I can distract myself with creative stuff until I've calmed down then I'll be able to break the cycle of fucking up my social with verbal expressions of rage. (see here and here and read the comments too)
Anyhoo, on with the 1 Month Mobile Phone Project.
My current mobile phone, I reckon if I tried hard, could have a phonecall that lasts one hour. Its battery measures approximately 5 x 30 x 40 mm, its a wee thing. So in terms of volume to call length, 6000mm^3 for that is its volume, equals 1 hour of talk time.
For the 1MMP Project I want a whole month of talk time, which is 744 hours. So by spinning it out and then figuring out sizes, my battery pack needs to be 15 x 15 x 20 cm approximately.
That's actually smaller than a car battery. This should be easy.
I'm not sure hour much that would weigh, I have no appropriate scales in my bedroom here. But that will be the next task, figuring out the weight.
And 18 months down the line, by the power of Moore's Law, it'll be half the size anyway.

Tears of Tess (Monsters in the Dark #1)
by Pepper Winters
A New Adult Dark Contemporary Romance, not suitable for people sensitive to grief, slavery, and nonconsensual sex. A story about finding love in the strangest of places, a will of iron that grows from necessity, and forgiveness that may not be enough.
"My life was complete. Happy, content, everything neat and perfect.
Then it all changed.
I was sold."
Tess Snow has everything she ever wanted: one more semester before a career in property development, a loving boyfriend, and a future dazzling bright with possibility.
For their two year anniversary, Brax surprises Tess with a romantic trip to Mexico. Sandy beaches, delicious cocktails, and soul-connecting sex set the mood for a wonderful holiday. With a full heart, and looking forward to a passion filled week, Tess is on top of the world.
But lusty paradise is shattered.
Kidnapped. Drugged. Stolen. Tess is forced into a world full of darkness and terror.
Captive and alone with no savior, no lover, no faith, no future, Tess evolves from terrified girl to fierce fighter. But no matter her strength, it can't save her from the horror of being sold.
Can Brax find Tess before she's broken and ruined, or will Tess's new owner change her life forever?
Heather's Thoughts:
Well, this was not what I was expecting. It is a book about abduction and human trafficking for sex slaves, but there wasn't a lot of sex. It was more about the degradation and loss that one suffers when all of your freedom is lost, and I loved it.
Tess and Brax are a quiet and sweet couple from Australia. They have been together for a while not. Brax is the perfect gentleman. He is caring and devoted to Tess. The only issue she has is that she would like more adventure in the bedroom. Their sex life has become a bit mundane. So when he invites her on a trip to Mexico, she sees this as an opportunity to talk about spicing things up.
Their dream vacation goes horribly wrong when they end up in a bad part of town. Brax is oblivious to the danger but Tess is on high alert. Sure enough, Brax is knocked unconscious and Tess is taken.
She has no idea who has taken her or why. Soon she realizes that her life will never be the same. She is among many women just like her. But she can not give up hope. Tess proves to be a fighter.
When she is whisked away to her new Master, "Q", she is terrified and refuses to be broken.
"You are mine. I can do what I want with you. I can dress you. Fuck you. Send you away. Loan you to others. You belong to me. And you've finally realized it isn't romantic, it isn't sexy, or fun. It's something no one should want or desire. You're a captive."
He offers he the choice of giving herself willingly. If not, then he will take with force.
Tess finds herself being turned on by the enigmatic Q. She can't stop her body's response to his domination.
"Two things I wanted most in the world: for Q to die a miserable death, and for him to fuck me."
While she finds herself turned on by his domination, she still fears him. Circumstances lead her to rely on him and eventually trust him. For the world is a cruel place, and dangers far worse than Q lurk in the shadows.
Tess holds on to the bitter end. She will not break or give in to Q.
"If I was to be his for eternity, fine. He might own my body. He would never own my soul."
But he is determined to save her, even if he has to save her from himself.
"I hadn't gone Stockholmy- I hated him, knew what he did was wrong, but my body, shit, my body didn't care."
Tess can't help but feel she is betraying Brax, but she begins to have feelings for her captor. She can't explain it, but can the monster she has come to know as Master ever care for her? And if he does, will he end up breaking her in the end?
"I'm not afraid of hurting you. I'm afraid of how far I'm willing to go."
This book was dark, but not in the way that Captive in the Dark was. This book was more about Tess coming to terms with a new life that was thrust upon her and her desires. She is no longer her own person but a slave. She has no choices and she is desperately afraid. Her body betrays her and she finds herself being more and more turned on by Q.
Q is an enigma. One minute he is kind and compassionate and the next he is a sadistic bastard. He puts Tess through her paces as a slave and even degrades her in front of others. Despite all of this, Tess can't help but wonder if there is more to Q than meets the eye. She doesn't know who to trust or where to turn.
The author makes you fall in love with the monster and even hope for a happily ever after. But Q is not the man who Tess believes him to be and she may not be enough to satisfy his unique appetite. Q can be quite scary at times. Tess can come across as highly confused, but who can blame her?
There is a warning to the readers for this book. This book contains, abduction, rape, extreme BDSM and slavery. Not all of the sex is non-consensual and this is not an erotic book. It is more of a mind-fuck book than an actual erotic book. Don't get me wrong, when there is sex, it is highly erotic. But the seduction is more in the mind games that Q plays with Tess. (I hope that makes sense) It is all told from Tess' point of view.
I can not wait to read the next book in the series to see what happens next!!!
4+ Stars!

Iraqi Minister survives bomb attack
Iraq's Displacement and Migration Minister survived a roadside bomb attack on her convoy today, police and an official in her office said.
An official in Suhaila Abd Jaafar's office said no one was wounded but police said three guards were injured.
It was not clear if the attack was a specific assassination attempt on the minister, because official convoys are often targeted by insurgents.
Topics: unrest-conflict-and-war, iraq

|Stash hat
|Stash hat
Last weekend, got sidetracked from the migraine sweater and the lace edge sweater by a request from my cousin. Her boyfriend works at an inpatient drug and alcohol rehab center. The men that are there, often come with very few things. So, she has decided to make hats and scarves (about 50) for them. She posted a request for helpers on her Facebook. The hats are super easy, and are a pattern for a ribbed beanie that I have made for my oldest son before. They can be whipped up usually in an evening (about 1 1/2 to 2 hours). Very gratifying knitting: 1) is for a very good cause 2) is fast, so quick completion and 3) really helps with stash busting of leftover bits.
More of them to fly off the needles this weekend.

The Host of Dirken Thorn
I wanted to take pictures of my lead for insurance purposes (in case they go down fighting in a fiery blaze) but instead I took a quick video and threw in some LOTR music ha. This is most of my GW lead except for about another 100 minis that need stripping. I didn't include my hoard of Ratnik, BTD and WhiteKnight Dwarves.

Over the last couple days, I have written a personal greeting at the top of 357 letters. These letters are going to schools all over the province, and it was agreed in the office that it was important to personalize them whenever possible (357 are personalized, 445 remain generic). The one thing that made it interesting is seeing how common certain names are.
Among female elementary school staff, the most common names were:
1. Carol
2. Barbara
3. Marilyn
4. Rita
And among male elementary school staff:
1. Scott
2. Mike
3. Doug(las)
4. Brian/Bryan

A Northwest Washington man faced drug charges Thursday after D.C. police raided his apartment Wednesday night and found a suspected methamphetamine lab, according to charging documents.
Authorities charged Hugh L. Elsbree with possession with intent to distribute cocaine and "methylene dioxymethamphetamine, that is, Ecstasy," court papers say. Police served a search warrant Wednesday night at his fourth-floor apartment at the Park East building in the 1800 block of Summit Place, where police said they found chemicals of an "inactive Methamphetamine lab," including 304 grams of suspected meth and seven grams of cocaine, the documents say. It's unclear from the documents whether the substance Elsbree is charged with possessing is the same that police believe was being manufactured.
Elsbree was taken into custody in the hallway outside the apartment. Police found his fiancee and 6-week-old daughter inside, the documents say. All three were evaluated by D.C. fire department medics and were believed to be safe from the chemicals, the papers say.
Investigators found the suspected meth, estimated to be worth $30,000, in a freezer in the kitchen, and a police field test confirmed the presence of amphetamines, the documents say. Authorities also found muriatic acid ammonia, kerosene, a Bunsen burner and other chemicals believed to be used to make meth, but there was no indication that a "current cook" was in progress, the documents say.
On April 7, Elsbree was arrested on Columbia Road in a fight, court papers show. After the arrest, officers found 14 grams of rock cocaine on Elsbree. He was charged with possession with intent to distribute.
Two days later, he was released from jail on his own recognizance, pending a May court appearance, according to court documents.

kelseys birthday!
The second birthday in Australia went off with more hitches than we can bear to say. For the record. do not show up to the Melbourne Cricket Ground for the Footy season opener with members club tickets and sandals on your feet. Sure they'll let 3 people in front of you in with them on, but not you. Thankfully you can walk all the way back to the tram stop, take it back into the CBD and find a little asian shoe store still open at 8pm to buy yet another pair of flats and make it back in time to meet the birthday girl at the bar and catch the 2nd quarter of the game. Also- if you're wearing your teams jumper (jersey), and you happen to be in the members club section, you'll be the only one wearing one. dually noted. Since the Richmond Tigers lost, we had a great reason to blame our celebrations on- you can only imagine how much fun we had. A huge thank you to the O'Sullivans- we don't know what we'd do without you! (we certainly wouldn't have seats 3 rows behind the Richmond bench…oh ben cousins #32...)

home sweet (australian) home
We found an apartment! It's a private renovated wing of a great old Victorian mansion in Brunswick- just a 15 minute tram ride to the CBD. It took a liter of bourbon and more cleaning supplies than anyone should ever inhale, but we didn't sleep until it was spotless. Ory mopped the 15' ceilings for crying out loud. We're slowly furnishing it thanks to ikea and the great vintage shops near us- bridgette bought a 1960's coffee table for $20 and carried it all the way up Lygon street (boy work). The Queen Victoria Market is right around the corner for Saturday grocery shopping (we bought 5 kilos of grapes for $3 and an entire tray of steaks for $15 just to name a few bargains we couldn't say no to. Imagine sitting near us on that tram ride home).
In other news… JOBS. We have to pay this absurd rent somehow
Kels- the breadwinner of this family thus far- working at the aboriginal arts center framing thousands of dollars worth of authentic artwork from the outback and slinging coffee on the side at the cutest little Italian café.
Bridgette- lasted 2 shifts at Santinos Terrace with straight-off-the-boat, wildly inappropriate 50 year old Italian men. That was 2 shifts too long. Went door to door to nearly every architecture firm in this city (bloody Von Furstenberg flats to prove it) and scored an interview with a great firm in the CBD this week-so keep your fingers crossed!
Ory- waiting tables at an Italian restaurant… yeah you're seeing the pattern here, we're in the middle of melbournes little italy, also the epicenter of the Italian mob (no we're not kidding…the good news is it's the safest part of the city for that very reason). Good thing we love a good espresso and a great pasta dish…and Italian men.
Needless to say, we're falling in love with city life!

b turns 24!
There couldn't be a better way to celebrate the first birthday in australia than with a trip down the great ocean road in a 1964 ford falcon. 2 days and 500 kilometers along the shipwreck coast-some of the most amazing ocean views you could imagine. we stood in ice cold, crystal clear water looking at the edge of the world. we walked along the beach at the 12 apostles and climbed in caves at the site of the sunken loch arch.
now its back to city life and planning the next adventure in underland!
wish us luck! (donations accepted and payable through paypal)

as if
So there was a minor setback in the apartment search today...in the form of 26mm of rain in less than an hour, golf ball sized hail, and the evacuation of southern cross station after a massive hole was torn in the roof. but other than that, another beautiful day in melbourne!

Theatrical Disclaimer
Okay, so, I have always wanted to start a blog doing movie critiques....Therefore I am writing to you to let you know that every time I watch a film, I will be giving you my honest opinion on it - whether or not you want to hear it! Since I went to school & studied this sort of thing for a number of years, I am going to put some of my knowledge toward a medium I still love & adore. So there you are: theatrical disclaimer.

Ahhh Yes. Valentine's Day.
St. Valentine. A martyr we know nothing about concretely except that he was buried at the Via Flaminia near Rome on his Feast Day, February 14th. Leave it to religion to create a holiday to supercede Pagan tradition. None-the-less, I, being a married lady, fall prey to it's clutches once a year. Every year. For the rest of my natural life. And though I do not object to it, I suppose I've got an opinion anytime during the year when the calendar dictates what I'm "supposed" to do on a particular day. I'd be much happier if my husband swept me off on some random Tuesday in September or July to a romantic dinner & gave me a card & some head. But every February 14th, the two of us are running around trying to find the right card for the other or desperate to unearth some small token to exchange & well, it annoys me. It's a joke. Much like Columbus Day. God, don't even get me started.

Box Score
Puerto Rico qualified for the second round of the World Baseball Classic in front of a packed house in Hiram Bithorn Stadium in San Juan, eliminating heavily-favoured Venezuela in a 6-3 pitcher's duel. It is the first time in WBC history that Venezuela did not win at least three games in the tourney.
Both teams were scoreless in the first two innings and neither country threatened until the bottom of the third. Venezuela's Omar Infante roped a double with one out and came home on a single by Marco Scutaro. Asdrubal Cabrera drew a free pass from Puerto Rican starter Nelson Figueroa, who got Miguel Cabrera to pop out.
Pablo Sandoval hit his second double of the Classic to score Scutaro, but Venezuela's chances of a big inning were ended when Asdrubal Cabrera was thrown out at the plate. Rightfielder Álex Ríos hurled the ball in to Martín Maldonaldo, who zipped a throw to Yadier Molina, who tagged out Cabrera.
Desperate for a win to avoid elimination, Venezuela handed a 2-0 lead to big league veteran Carlos Zambrano, who had looked like his old self through the first three frames.
Zambrano immediately ran into trouble, giving up a double to Ángel Pagán, though a nifty play by Miguel Cabrera erased him at third on a grounder by Irving Falú. The 'Big Z' failed to take advantage, walking Ríos and throwing a wild pitch to put two runners in scoring position. A walk to Molina with two outs loaded the bases and ended Zambrano's night after 3 2/3 innings.
Enrique González took the hill, and Mike Aviles wasted no time in lacing a ball to centre that scored Falú and Ríos. Venezuela's centerfielder, Gerardo Parra, took a page out of Ríos' book, uncorking a throw to Sandoval at third base to catch Molina and end the inning.
Venezuela was unable to get back any of the runs against Figueroa, who tossed four innings. The right-hander gave up two runs on five hits and no walks, getting one batter swinging.
Hendersón Álvarez took the hill in the top of the fifth for Venezuela and quickly coughed up the lead on a leadoff walk. Maldonaldo was the beneficiary, moving over on a sacrifice bunt. Pagán sent him home with two outs on a single to centre, and it was 3-2 Puerto Rico.
Giovanni Soto replaced Figueroa, who had reached his pitch limit, and was eye-opening in three innings of work. The Cleveland Indians' minor leaguer, who only reached Double-A this year, started off his appearance by getting a popup from Infante and striking out Scutaro and Asdrubal Cabrera.
Álvarez and Soto both hurled scoreless innings in the sixth and seventh before the Venezuelan hurler ran out of fuel in the eighth. The right-hander plunked Ríos to start the frame and gave up a single to Carlos Beltrán. Juan Rincón came in to face Molina, and gave up a single to load the bases.
Aviles got his third RBI on a sacrifice fly and César Jiménez got a key strikeout, but Venezuelan closer Francisco Rodríguez then gave up a double to Luís Figueroa that scored Beltrán and Molina. Puerto Rico's lead grew to 6-2 with the blow off the all-time leader in WBC saves.
J.C. Romero struck out a pair in a 1-2-3 bottom of the eighth, and Rodríguez stayed on to pitch the ninth. Puerto Rico was retired three-up, three-down.
Romero stayed on for the ninth against Venezuela, but gave up a one-out double to Salvador Pérez who was plated by Martín Prado's second two-base hit of the tourney. Fernando Cabrera came in to finish off the eighth-ranked Venezuelans, and got two easy outs for the save, getting a strikeout of pinch hitter Miguel Montero.
Figueroa earned the win for Puerto Rico, which improved to 2-0 and earned a spot in the second round for the third-straight year despite the absences of Albert Pujols and David Ortiz. Álvarez took the loss for Venezuela.
Prado was the only player for the losers with two hits. Venezuela's much heralded offence managed only seven safeties, though four were doubles. Pagán's three hits led both teams as did Aviles' three RBIs. Beltrán added two more hits to his total, including his second double.
Venezuela was officially eliminated from the tournament, though they had much to play for in their final matchup with Spain, as the last place-finisher in each pool is relegated to the qualifying tournaments.
Stay tuned for all news, analysis, and reviews of the 2013 World Baseball Classic.

Wrong. Sleep is a beautiful thing. I remember as a teenager I used to sleep until 1:00 pm sometimes. It was fabulous. Even in my 20s, after a night of partying, knowing I could sleep in was great. Now I'm a mom and sleeping in is not really an option at this point. Stevie is 2 so as you can imagine she's not up for sleeping in that late. Actually one thing we have learned about our little girl is she doesn't like sleeping at all. Well, that's not true. She sleeps. It's just always a struggle. Does she sleep through the night? Sometimes. Not as much as we would like though. It's brutal. I'm sure we have messed this up somewhere along the way. Probably by doing what we felt was working rather than what the books say to do. Now I can't help feel like we are caught in this trap and it's so hard to get out of it. "Let her cry" people say. Easier said than done though when the crying results in us all being awake until 3:00 am because she has worked herself up so much that now she won't go to sleep at all.
I guess some people are blessed with babies that love sleeping. I wish we were those people. Would I trade her in for a kid that goes to bed super easy and sleeps all night. Never. For now I will just need to seek solace in the fact that once she is a teenager I can get her back by waking her up at 7:30 on the mornings I know she wishes she can sleep until 1:00 pm.

Hello, Happy People!Author: Maelstrom ()
Date: 2000-03-20 00:00:00
Well, I bet some of you still remember me...though it has been quite the long time. I'm a CWALer (sorta), who has been participating in CWAL off and on for 'bout...2 years. Now, Mr.Maelstrom is at a boarding high school without access to ICQ, so he has only been seen sporadically. But, I'm on vacation now for the next week and a half, and should be on pretty frequently during that time period.
So, I'll say what I did when I first say the War Refuge (and hope for a better result): "Hey look, a forum full of HAPPY PEOPLE!"
"...when you ask 'What can one do?' — the answer is 'SPEAK' (provided you know what you are saying)....Speak on any scale open to you, large or small....Do not pass up a chance to express your views on important issues."
Hello, Happy People! - Maelstrom - 2000-03-20 00:00:00
-Useless Trivia Fact: Maelstrom was actually a member of SideWinder at one time... - SM_007 - 2000-03-20 00:00:00

Question: Am I to assume that none of the schools are putting out newsletters this year? We are almost to November and none of the schools have put one out. Not to mention it looks funny to still have last June's on the website. I looked forward to seeing what the schools are up to.
Answer: The school newsletters will be published quarterly this year, around the time that student report cards are issued. Each school works with the district communications office to publish their newsletters and arranges for their own individual deadlines.

So if you are interested in smaller, less detailed, but more frequent posts head over there and check it out. I will continue to post most of my larger accomplishments on here still, as well as continue the video progress updates. The last few days have been pretty chill and I have been playing a lot, so I have a lot more progress coming soon, stay tuned!

The global climate alarmists are like vampires, always re-awakening when others are asleep, following an alternative reality that has little to do with the real world, living as parasites on the community. Their ideology, seductive and prone to leave the affected impervious to argument and swooning at the voice of their master(s), is fundamentally suspect: it is based on ignorance and keeping people in the dark about reality, rather than serious scientific examination.
The first of the three links here is to Roger Pielke, Jr., a climatologist who has seen the meaning of the work he has done turned completely around in an attempt to prove a point that he actually disproves, in such a way that the only real explanation is apparently outright misrepresentation and deliberate fraud, but in a government document that the watermelon people are going to be using in the years to come to brow-beat their opponents.
The second: fundamental forecasting errors by MIT scientists that can really only be explained by ideological blindness and a collapse of the scientific method: the parading of opinion as scientific fact.
The third: that the models used by global warming proponents continue to be fundamentally flawed and incapable of standing up to rigorous testing, resulting in widely variant results for something that should, for all purposes, be readily estimable within a fairly small bandwidth if their models were actually useful.
I will reiterate the question raised by Doug Hoffman and Professor Pielke: how many years of wrong results are necessary before we reject the IPCC reports and the models they are based on?
The answer, of course, is that the "truth" of global warming is chiliastic and does not entertain empirical verification: it is true because of first principles, not because the data tell us so.

We can't always explain why we like something. Sometimes all it needs to be is to be. That's all. That's enough.
A quick personal example: my initial Power Girl fascination. I had no idea what drew me to the character. Still don't.
I like her now because I know her history, her character, and, at least as far as I'm concerned, her potential for interesting stories. There is a reason for liking her. One that I could, if pressed, explain and defend liking her. There is even a chance I could convince others of my opinion.
In short, my love of Power Girl makes freaking sense.
I have no such excuse for Knife Bear.
Now who is Knife Bear, you ask. Why, he is:
The whole story behind Knife Bear is that he's a guy. In a bloody bear costume. Who has a knife.
That's it.
He's a one joke character from The Venture Bros Season 4 (Season 4.2, to be precise.) He appears, does absolutely nothing, then vanishes from the story.
That's it.
I. Freaking. Love. This Guy.
I have no idea.
Well, maybe I do. Maybe there's two levels here.
The first is the obvious: the one scene he is in is freaking hilarious. By standing around doing nothing (with a knife!) he terrifies three big bad Super Villains. Two of which are killers. All of which have well acquainted with another, potentially blonder, killer with a knife. (And maybe that's what scares them the most about our Ursine friend; they know the power of the blade in the right hands).
The second, though, is a little harder to define. Knife Bear here reminds me a little of another joke character (and another character I love without reason), Marvel Comics' Elf with a Gun. Through out several issues of the Defenders he would appear out of nowhere and kill someone. No reason, though a reason was later assigned to him. He just did his business and vanished again.
I've never even seen this guy outside of the web and I love him.
So maybe it's that almost connection I like. I dunno what Knife Bear's actual name is; it could easily be Bear With a Knife or something really off the wall. It doesn't matter. I likes what I likes.
Now none of these reasons were present until I did this essay. They just popped in there. They might pop right on out once I finished.
Doesn't matter.
I love Knife Bear.
I would love to see Knife Bear in another season of Venture Bros. No explanations, no story, just off to one side. Standing there. Staring.
With a knife.
And for the life of me, I don't know why.

The clang of pans, smoke rising, smells emanating from the dark pot brewing a rich, dense stew, the sound of crisp vegetables being cut and stir fried these are the smells, sounds and sights that come from a kitchen that is in action. Being a Bangladeshi, it is no surprise that we are all food connoisseurs at heart-- going to the markets in the mornings, braving the water clogged streets and haggling our lungs sore, all for the sake of bagging the freshest and best ingredients to cook a perfect meal. With the rise in food shows and a whole new era of food television, the way we view our food is fast changing. The Bengali palate is now welcoming new flavours. The Italian oregano sits comfortably beside the ground red chilli, the soya sauce next to our 'shorisha'r tel!' We no longer shy away from calamari or oyster, so to bring on the food revolution that is sweeping over the city, here are a few places where you can go to improve your knife skills, and sharpen your learning on the culinary sciences. Lemo's Souvlaki This is a fast food restaurant cum cooking school run by a dynamic chef by the name of Infaqul Islam (Lemon), explaining the names Lemo's Souvlaki. He is a trained chef who promotes healthy cooking practices that he has perfected over the years. There are currently four courses on offer: Breakfast (western style), Soups, Stir-fry and Roasts. All of the classes consist of four sessions of two hours each and the chef provides all the materials and ingredients required for the cooking. Along with this, Chef Infaqul promotes a cooking style that uses minimum oil and salt thus keeping true to the flavour of the ingredients used. After his cooking classes, stirring up perfectly cooked stir-fried vegetables, or the tender and juicy leg of lamb will be no hard feat. The cooking school is located in Pantha Plaza, 63/A Lake Circus, West Panthapath, Dhaka and the course is priced at Tk.5000. Diya's Kitchen This small cooking school located in Dhanmandi 6/A should not in any way fool you into thinking any less of it. The managing director, Diya Farhana -- a petite young lady who runs the show is a dynamic character who promises to bring out the culinary master inside you. There are short courses that last for a month and cost Tk.5000 and the combination of two short courses will result in an advanced course that runs for two months and will cost you Tk.9000. The short courses on offer are of a vast range -- master Thai cuisine and Pad Thai, egg noodles with duck and red Thai curry to name a few. Do you have the palate for Italian? They have that on offer too along with courses on Indian Cuisine, Chinese, European and of course Bangladeshi food. Along with this they have dessert preparation and microwave cooking courses. All classes are conducted in a standard studio kitchen which has all the necessary amenities. All the information can be easily accessed through their website www.diyaskitchen.com Aponghar Catering This is a catering and cooking school institution that has been running for the last eight years and has established a strong clientele on the basis of their top notch service and quality of ingredients being used. The owner, Monira Sultana, aims at providing the best service to her loyal client base by meeting their requirements as diligently as possible. There are a number of courses on offer such as confectionaries, Microwave cooking, snacks, special fish dishes such as Tandoori fish, smoked Hilsha, different chicken curries such as chutney chicken and South Indian chicken curry. They also offer courses on Italian cooking, South-Indian cooking and special occasion such as Eid ul Adha and Eid ul Fitr dishes along with courses on making ice-cream and sweets. The courses are reasonably priced too at Tk. 4000 and above. Their location: House #19A, Road #16 (New), 27 (Old), Dhanmandi. Tommy Miah's Hospitality Management Institute Tommy Miah is a name that does not require introduction. The Bangladeshi chef who has managed to charm British Royals is offering tricks of his trade right here in Dhaka city. With a staff group that is well trained in the field, this institute is bound to meet your needs and at the end of the day you will have a certificate at hand to prove just that. The courses are designed for students who are interested in the cooking sciences, along with individuals looking for an opportunity to learn from maestros and experts. The certificate in Bakery lasts for a month which is the shortest duration of a course here; the other course that runs for three months is Certificate in Food Preparation & Culinary Arts. Moreover there are diploma courses for more dedicated candidates, which take up to a year. The institute is located in Kabir Kunj, House #14, Road #13c, Block-E, Flat B2, Banani. The options in Dhaka for the aspiring chef or home-cook are endless. The availability of ingredients both exotic and local has made it easier than ever to try your hands in new cuisines. So cook away for gluttony is truly a beautiful sin...

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) - Jermaine Thomas ran for 112 yards
and two touchdowns in the first half and Florida State pounded
Virginia 34-14 on Saturday.
The Seminoles (4-1, 2-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) led 27-0 at
halftime after outgaining Virginia 294-42. Thomas, who finished
with 122 yards on 16 carries, scored on runs of 70 and 10 yards,
and Christian Ponder hit Willie Haulstead with a 15-yard touchdown
The Seminoles also sacked Marc Verica three times before
halftime, and he missed several open receivers. He was 4 for 15 in
the first half, and all four completions were to running backs.
Virginia (2-2, 0-1), which had beaten FCS schools Richmond and
VMI and played well in a 17-14 loss at Southern Cal, viewed the
game as a chance to see where it stands four games into the Mike
London era, and many of the Cavaliers fans left after seeing the

But there's some little factor I didn't tell him though, I have never made a really good Lemon Pound cake before this. Somehow I have several recipes of this cake but I have never tried them before. So I picked one recipe and made two portions of it so that I can sell one to him and the other one was for me to eat.
The recipe I used was from my Pillsbury, The Complete Book Of Baking that I got when I used to live in Honolulu many years ago (in the late 90's). I picked this recipe because it didn't use Butter but the recipe required me to use Vegetable Oil instead. And to be exact the recipe is called Lemon Delight Pound Cake. However, the recipe also use 3/4 cup of Orange Juice instead of lemon juice, and this made me wondering why though. Maybe because lemon juice is too sour compared to a freshly squeeze orange juice. But why call it Lemon Delight Pound Cake then? Why not call it Citrusy Pound Cake or something? Hmmmm!
So, I baked the cake and gave it to him and they ate it. Their comment was why wasn't it taste so lemony? In addition to their question was why the texture was not soft or moist although the recipe use oil instead of butter? However, now I have found a much better Lemon Pound Cake that use Butter and real lemon juice. And I've baked that recipe last week and the cake was moist, soft and very lemony. So I will NOT use the Pillsbury recipe anymore. Adios!
Below are the photos of my Lemon Delight Pound Cake from the Pillsbury recipe. The square one was bought by Kamizi and the round one was mine. And my final design for my Lemon Pound Cake will look something like this next time (The round cake one, lemon yellow and light turquoise color but I might change the light turquoise to a lime green color.)

If I meet you, I will look for the soonest opportunity to tell (or yell, as the case may be) at you that I am from San Francisco and that I love this city. First, let's look beyond the fact that I've never actually held a San Francisco address. Okay! My childhood was spent at its many museums and parks, in my teen years I was the youngest patron at its music venues, and now I'm trying to get to know better its neighborhoods beyond the BART line. My dad, a Russian Hill resident in the eighties, was overjoyed to show me around his old haunts. Stops included Ocean Beach (via Sutro Heights), Russian Hill (where I insisted on a snack at La Boulange) and West Portal.
The best forty-nine square miles I know. And I haven't even discovered all of it yet!

Nights Over Egypt – The Jones Girls (Vinyl 12″) 1981
From my vinyl collection.
Download and print PDF scores of Girl by Jones
The Jones Girls – Keep It Comin'
These three sisters (Valorie RIP, Shirley, and Brenda Jones)representing Detroit first came on the scene as backups for Lou Rawls, Linda Clifford, and Teddy Pendergrass; just to name a few. These sisters continued to make minor hits in the early 70's, until breaking out in 1979 with the hit, "You Gonna Make Me Love Somebody Else", these ladies had continuous hits on the R&B charts; not necessarily making POP success. From the Philadelphia International label, this is their 1984 cult classic from the album entitled "Keep It Comin'" Enjoy!!!!
Should I be Indiana Jones or a Ghostbuster for Halloween? I was thinking about either being a hot girl Indiana Jones type character or a hot girl Ghostbuster. I already have most of the Indiana Jones costume, but those fedoras are damn expensive. A Ghostbusters costume is easy to get and pretty cheap, but would be harder to make 'hot'. What do you think?
Download and print PDF scores of Girl by Jones
stay with the indiana jones motif. def hot, have most of the stuff AND did I mention def hot. do it girl
Sounds like you have it all almost figured out – pros and cons – and, if 'being seen as hot' is the most important criterion? You already have your answer, huh? Have fun and play safe. . .WOW – so many bogus accounts answering here and collecting 2 points . . . amazing to realize that Yahoo has such levels of counterfeit players. . .
Oh you can make the ghosbusters look hot. Just get some short shorts and a short sleeve with the logo on it. Make sure they're the same color (The short and the short sleeve shirt). Then get a toy back pack thingy that they wear, and unbutton the shirt a little bit to show some cleavage. There you got yourself a sexy ghostbust suit. ;]
Definitely Indiana Jones! All the little kids go as ghosts, and while that is great for them, you should look very original as Indiana Jones.
HONEY GO WITH INDIANA JONES, Since you already have most of the costume I would to with that. This year again I am going to be Beetlejuice. Happy Halloween to you
If it's a tight Ghostbuster suit, and unzipped to show some cleavage, then you've got it!Otherwise, the Indiana Jones style girl costume could definitely be a lot more sexy!!
What is the children's book where a little girl trades places with her dad to work at an ad agency? I remember reading a book about 20 years ago where a little girl and her dad both disliked their situations, so they decided to trade places. The dad went to kindergarten and the little girl went to the dad's ad agency. While she was there, she came up with a tag line for a cracker company, and the executives loved it. The dad loved being in kindergarten because he was tall enough to get balls out of trees and do other helpful things. Does anyone remember what that book was called?
Bea and Mr. Jones by Amy Schwartz "Bea Jones is bored with kindergarten. Really bored. Her dad is fed up with being stuck in an office. Really, really fed up. So Bea and Mr. Jones decide to change places. Neither kindergarten nor the office will ever be the same.Originally published in 1982, Bea and Mr. Jones, Amy Schwartz's unforgettable debut picture book, was a New York Times Best Illustrated Book of the Year and a Reading Rainbow selection. Now back with a fresh design, this charming favorite will inspire a new generation of children to see everyday life in a whole new light."
what kind of food should i bake at an indiana jones b-day party? My daughters a girl, and, the answers don't just have to be about food, they can be about ideas for the party, and, my daughters 10.
lol your daughters a girl, really?hehe I don't really know anything about Indianna Jones to be honest.. sorry this is a waste of an answer.
That's a really tough one. I can't really think of anything that will go with the theme for food but I think you could find a cook photo on the internet and get a photo cake made. For food I would do like chicken fingers, chex mix, mini corn dogsSorry that's alI I can think of but here are some cool links for theme party planning:mypartyplanner.com/theme_Indiana_Jones_Party_Theme.htmlpartyamerica.com/product/birthday+parties/boys+birthday/indiana+jones+lunch+plates,+8ct.doYou gotta check out that last one!
What about making cupcakes or a cake with gummy worms on top (and calling them snakes). Indianna Jones always hated snakes, and there was that snake-filled pit in the movie and they ate that python that was stuffed with moving snakes. What about getting a hat like Indianna Jones wears and filling it with tortilla chips (like use it as a bowl). You could serve it with salsa. If you don't like the chip idea, you can do this with other foods (buns, etc.) Just put a liner in the hat to keep the food clean.
A Treasure Hunt! If it's nice out do it outdoors. You can make a map and leave clues that will direct them to different spots and eventually lead to the treasure.creativekidsathome.com/activities/activity_28.html
You could do something with an Oriental or Indian theme. Egg rolls, chicken fried rice, won tons, etc, or mild chicken curry with lots of cool sides to dip into. For decorations, again go with an Oriental or Indian theme. Search for instructions for wrapping a woman's sari, then divide into teams to see which team can do it the best. A scavenger hunt for Indie items would be fun, too. For music, look at the library for big band music from the 1930s and teach them to Fox trot, or jitter bug! If you need ideas, rent a couple of the movies to find ideas.
What is a book about a girl who tries to find love but never does? Please can you think of any book about a girl who tries to find love but never does. Or maybe even a book about a girl who thinks there is no such thing as love. Or a book about a girl who doesn't let people love her.
How do I tell a girl I just want to have sex with her and that's it? There is a girl who really likes me who is the long term relationship type and I don't want that. What is a good way to break it to her so she doesn't get too upset.
Just flat out say it. Whats the worst that could happen? A smack or two? The best? She goes for it. Risk and reward my friend.
Why would you want to break her heart just for sex?I mean if thats all you want out of a girl, then find someone else who isnt emotionally attached to you.
Don't bother. She'll think you're a jerk and deny you. Save yourself the trouble and resort to man-hand time.
i dont know i tried asking straight out loads of times and women just dont like it and think ur nuts, i dont know wat the prob is!
Woah. ok NEVER EVER EVER tell a girl ur just dating her for sex! 1) she will never have sex with u and 2) its just plain mean no girls just LEST u do that.
Just ware a sign that says "I am a huge scumbag who just wants to use you and has complete disregard for your emotions." I really hope you are a troll.
Just tell it to her straight. Say "I'm attracted to you physically, but I don't want to have a relationship". Please don't then take advantage of her by sleeping with her. This is assuming that you haven't already had sex with her. If you have already slept with her, and you knew beforehand that she would want something more, then you are a jerk. She will be upset no matter what you say.
I believe it was Velvet Jones in his guide to picking up women who suggested saying, "Baby, I'd really like to jump your bones." "Nine times out of ten, [you] get slapped in the face; but, that tenth time is pure magic."
That's a good way to get your balls messed up telling a girl you just want sex unless she's of that mind too.
Just be direct and tell her you're not looking for a relationship. You're only interested in sex. Then let her decide if she's ok with that. If she is, then you'll get what you're looking for. If she's not ok with it, you can move on and find someone who is into just sex.To those who think he'd be using the girl just because he only wants sex, he'd only be using her if he was deceitful. If he's honest from the start, it's all her decision.
Just grab your d1ck out of nowhere and smack that shit across her face till she sees stars, i bet shed wanna do it then.. good luck ;>
DONT USE A GIRL THAT WAY. THATS NOT NICE.. if you wanna have sex with someone just do it with someone you love and someon who loves you to

A common limiting factor among 3D printers is the size of objects they can create. When architect Gordon LaPlante began pushing the limits of his RepRap, he decided to build his own printer with a giant print bed. The result is the gMax, which began shipping this week after a successful Kickstarter campaign.
The gMax can print objects up to 16 x 16 x 9 inches, which gives it a build volume of 2,304 cubic inches. The MakerBot Replicator 2, which is considered to have a fairly large print bed for a consumer 3D printer, has a volume of 410 cubic inches.
The gMax is an open source machine that's meant to be modified, and LaPlante built it to be easy to do so. It comes apart quickly to let users swap in new parts.
Like many 3D printer crowdfunding campaigns, the gMax, which sold for $1,295 on…

It also has a central role in gluconeogenesis, lipogenesis, and interconversion of amino acids. Many of these processes occur in most tissues, but liver is the only tissue in which all occur to a significant extent. The repercussions are therefore profound when, for example, large numbers of hepatic cells are damaged as in acute hepatitis or replaced by connective tissue (as in cirrhosis). The few genetic defects of citric acid cycle enzymes that have been reported are associated with severe neurological damage as a result of very considerably impaired ATP formation in the central nervous system. ++ Hyperammonemia, as occurs in advanced liver disease, leads to loss of consciousness, coma, and convulsions as a result of impaired activity of the citric acid cycle, leading to reduced formation of ATP. Ammonia both depletes citric acid cycle intermediates (by withdrawing α-ketoglutarate for the formation of glutamate and glutamine) and also inhibits the oxidative decarboxylation of α-ketoglutarate. ++ The cycle starts with reaction between the acetyl moiety of acetyl-CoA and the four-carbon dicarboxylic acid oxaloacetate, forming a six-carbon tricarboxylic acid, citrate. In the subsequent reactions, two molecules of CO2 are released and oxaloacetate is regenerated (Figure 17–1). Only a small quantity of oxaloacetate is needed for the oxidation of a large quantity of acetyl-CoA; it can be considered as playing a catalytic role, since it is regenerated at the end of the cycle. ++Figure 17–1Graphic Jump LocationView Full Size|Favorite Figure|Download Slide (.ppt)The citric acid cycle, illustrating the catalytic role of oxaloacetate. ++ The citric acid cycle is an integral part of the process by which ...

I desperately needed something done with my jewelry. I was sick of having them in boxes and getting tangled up.
Then I saw this DIY jewelry organizer.
I was amazed and determined to make that. So I hit all the thrift stores in search of a wooden silverware holder, thinking I would easily find one!
Well no, to my dismay, nothing!
But in my wanderings, I found this:
It got me thinking...I could definitely use this for my organizer!
So first step was taking out the shelving.
They were loose so I secured them with some wood glue.
After they dried, I used my mini jigsaw and cut the shelves to the sizes I want. I turned the whole thing vertical.
Then I painted both pieces white...or my husband did..since i'm 8+ months pregnant :)
Then I measured the spaces for the next steps of modge podging paper on the back.
Nice ;)
Then I had to put back the shelving.
Then I used my drill and make holes and added in cabinent knobs to hold the necklaces
Then I glued a piece of dowel on the back so it would be angled a bit so no piece of jewelry would fall off.
And here you go! Atop of the necklace organizer is my earring organizer.
I had an empty frame and hot glued a large piece of lace that I found from this really cool store...the lace was like 25 cents a yard!
Anyways, lace or even tulle work great to hold earrings!
This has been so nice! The smaller cubbies, I use for rings or stud earrings or bracelets!
It is a great addition to my room :)

Hot Chocolate:
My mother used to make hot chocolate from cocoa powder. It was a masterful mix of whole milk, Hershey cocoa powder and sugar. She never measured, just simply poured the milk into a saucepan, added sugar and then sprinkled the cocoa powder over the milk sugar mixture as she constantly stirred it in the Revereware copper clad pan, until it was the right color and brought to a bubbling simmer. Once it began to bubble along the edges of the pan, she'd turn off the flame on the stove and let it sit for a few minutes. Often a skin would form on the top of the hot chocolate and if you were lucky you got a big chunk of it floating at the top of your cup after it was poured. There something flavorful about that skin.Sometimes there would be a coating of sugar left at the bottom of the pan. That was extra good snacking, running your finger around the bottom of the pan and licking the almost caramelized sugar crust.
When Nestle's and Hershey came out with an already combined mix of cocoa powder and sugar, Hershey's was still distinctive to me, although their packaging was strikingly similar.
After watching commercials for Bosco we begged Mom to buy it for our hot chocolate, it was after all a 'milk amplifier', as if it would actually boost the nutritional properties of milk....it still wasn't the same as the hot chocolate made from scratch with Hershey's cocoa powder, sugar and milk.
When prepackaged hot chocolate mix became popular, all you need to add is water, I think making real hot chocolate became a lost art.
I find a cup of hot chocolate made from an envelope of premixed and measured powdered milk and chocolate flavoring simply has to be doctored-up with additional milk and sometimes a shot of coffee, or shot of something else, like schnapps. It's just not as hearty and satisfying and there's no skin floating on top of the cup.Affection:
I once made hot chocolate from scratch, just like my mother used to, but my grandchildren thought it tasted 'funny' to them, it certainly didn't warm them the same as the memory of my mother's did for me. Oh well, I made hot chocolate for myself tonight. I did use Hershey's cocoa powder and sugar, but didn't have whole milk on hand, we hardly ever do anymore, but I did have some homemade Bailey's type liquer to 'doctor-it-up' and made it a little creamier with a little Half & Half, and I ran my finger along the bottom of the pan to scoop up the left over sugar. It was delicious and affectionately sustaining.

Partners and supporters enable the American Red Cross to carry out its humanitarian mission across the Greater New York Region and beyond. During Red Cross Month, the American Red Cross in Greater New York recognizes its Ready 365 members, a group of corporate and community partners who provide significant local annual support of the Red Cross mission. Ready 365 supporters for the 2015-2016 year are Airbnb, Con Ed, HSBC, Sony and Wells Fargo.
"Thank you to our Ready 365 partners!" Josh Lockwood, CEO, American Red Cross Greater NY Region. "Your community spirit and generosity allow us to provide immediate humanitarian relief whenever and wherever it's needed."
In the last 12 months, the Red Cross provided emergency relief following more than 2,300 disasters across the Greater New York region, which includes New York City, Long Island and the Lower Hudson Valley. This included large-scale incidents such as the fatal building explosion in the East Village last March that left hundreds homeless, as well as smaller disasters like the single-family home fires.
Beyond disaster response, the Greater NY Red Cross helped make our communities safer and more resilient by installing free smoke alarms in thousands of area homes; by teaching health and safety skills like CPR, water safety and first aid; and empowered local families with vital disaster preparedness skills. The Red Cross also collected lifesaving blood and supported our brave service members and their families
March has been recognized as Red Cross Month for more than 70 years. All of our presidents, including President Barack Obama, have designated March as Red Cross Month to recognize how the American Red Cross helps people across the country and around the world.

i have decided to stay inside
away from the world,
from them.
i have a photo of a key
and a key chain
the fort shelby hotel
prior to the renovation.
these keys open a door
to detroit's urban exploring days of old,
before some people made a joke of it all(i could insert any number of hyperlinks right here, i suppose only those who are guilty would be offended by that, fuck em, right? no! i don't want to make this, about them, they don't deserve it)......
at least that's what i think?
i have one of these too,
and i think that makes me cool,
but you probably don't think so,
and that's ok,
it's better that way,
for us both...

Today I met with my mentor from Concordia University for my administrative program. I have piles of stuff haphazardly arranged in a portfolio in progress. My goal end-date is August 1st, but earlier would be nice, obviously.
She has been very patient with me. When I started the program a little less than two years ago, I was ready to sink my teeth into the program and get it done in a year. Then the principal and assistant principal BOTH retired, and a new (very difficult) team took her place. Soon after, my started my first class, which was absolutely TERRIBLE; I think I unlearned things. By the time I started my practicum, I was elbows deep in the the grief phase of losing my old bosses (somewhere in that denial/anger stage). All through this, my mentor continued to smile and give helpful advice.
Now, I can see the light at the end of the tunnel, and more importantly, I think I've come to the "acceptance" stage of working with my new bosses. That doesn't mean I like it; I just accept it. Oddly enough, I've also come to a decision that school administration may not be the right place for me. Maybe later in life, but right now I still feel terribly uninspired.
A month ago, my portfolio was just a stack of stuff; today it has entered the 3-ring binder stage and I don't have too many hours left on my practicum. Small steps…

The Skyfort
April 30, 2009
Danny had some little bonuses here and there that piled up and we thought hard about what we wanted to spend it on. See, we have always used bonuses for 'extras'. We promised ourselves we wouldn't spend it on groceries or other needed items. We went to RC Willey hoping to see something we might like and when we pulled up there were jungle gyms set up outside the store. PERFECT! But, we didn't feel like spending what they were asking for them. After searching the internet we found one that was a reasonable price that included everything that we liked. It was at Sam's Club. So after becoming members, we brought home four 200 lb boxes and a slide. After unpacking and organizing the pieces all over our back yard, the sight was pretty daunting, but we were up for the task. We started on a Saturday morning and worked until dark. Three days later and it was complete. Danny is amazing and I am so impressed with his skills. We also built a picnic table last night to match. It only cost us 38 bucks to make!!
I can't keep Sydney in the house now. She figured out how to unlock the sliding glass door and I found her out there with no pants on and her shoes on the wrong feet going down the slide. She is so brave.
We replaced one of the swings with a half-bucket toddler w/chain. Sydney loves to go high and clucks her tongue when she reaches the peak of her swing. Kali loves to swing with mom on the two person swing. We are in the process of picking out a new swing for Kali. We've looked at several therapy and accessible sets but we are still undecided.
We are blessing Nick this Sunday and having a lunch afterward with family and friends. We figured we would need somewhere for them to sit and eat. Hopefully the sealer and stain will be dry by then!

We were pretty busy this month!
We had a pretty good wind storm that claimed many shingles in the neighborhood (thankfully not ours) and our back fence.
We first dug out two truckloads of dirt from the back corner. The owners before us had some kind of pond and left a big pile of dirt that sloped and was pushing on the fence. With some help, Danny dug holes and concreted in new posts. Our neighbor kitty-corner to our backyard offered some help as our fence was supporting his. He was a BIG help. Sydney loved playing in the yard while we helped.
I made these lovely eggs using a pattern I found here. They were really easy and I learned some new skills. I put them out in the yard with the candy-filled plastic eggs on Easter.
I also made Nick a Sunday shirt. He looked so handsome on Sunday and received many compliments on his tie.
We took a trip to Utah in Mid-April to visit Danny's siblings. Jill is officially engaged and we finally got to meet Tommy. We absolutely LOVE him. He and Jill are a great match.
Syd, Nick, and I went with Danny to an appointment with a client that lives up in Idaho City (in the mountains). It was a fun drive, a beautiful view and on the way home we stopped at a dam and I happened to have my tripod and camera in the car! Too bad Kali wasn't with us (she was at preschool). It would have been a great family photo!
Future posts to include: Easter, Kris's birthday, and new addition to our house.

The trees just started to blossom this last week. We planted two new trees this year. One is a peach and the other is a hybrid apple (4 different kinds of branches grafted on).
Owyhee Uplands Backcountry
April 12, 2009
Saturday we went for a little day trip on one of Idaho's Scenic Byways. We took a drive around the Owyhee Mountains. It was pretty muddy, but our Tahoe had no problem. The kids were mostly happy except for when we stopped for a picnic (???). Sydney and Kali cried almost the whole time. Nick was an angel. He only woke up cause I changed and fed him.
The Owyhee Uplands are filled with miles and miles of juniper trees, sagebrush, rocky ridges, creeks, and rivers.
We didn't see the sun until about 3:30 when we emerged out of the hills and back to the freeway. It was a fun little adventure and I got to take a few pictures, although, I didn't get to spend any time taking interesting ones cause it was way to cold outside to be patient and set up.

My little ones.

We're all getting a bit more sleep now that Nick only wakes up one time during the night. It's great. I also kicked him out of my room last week which has also helped a ton.
Sydney has been a great helper. She is great at taking diapers to the garbage. She has been a little emotional lately but I discovered this morning it was probably because she has a mouth full of new teeth. At least 6 in the last week. Poor girl…
Boxy Pouch and iPod Cozy
April 4, 2009
I finally have a home for my sewing machine. I really want to be more skilled at sewing and I made a couple little projects that are cheap and easy for practice with zippers and batting.
I first made this sleeve for my iPod. I only wish I hadn't waited till it was done to sew on the button. It was hard to fish the needle in and out of the sleeve.
I used a tutorial that I found on Sew Mama Sew.
I was then in the mood to sew and went ahead with my next project: the boxy pouch. I figured it would be a good project for sewing my first zipper. I think I did a pretty good job.

I wish you could have heard Knight at the top of his game. At one time, he was my second favorite producer at WBAI behind Bob Fass. He was an excellent producer and a very smart journalist.ReplyDelete
Now, he is everything you say he is. I can't listen to WBAI in the afternoons. Hugh Hamilton has converted his program into another all black news show, and if orchestra's had a section for tape players, Knight could moonlight. Sad. Earthwatch was once a terrific program.
Jared Ball is right on about Obama, as are his BAR colleagues Glen Ford and Bruce Dixon. Obama's Secretary of Education is a venture capitalist whose policy is the privatization of our public schools; his Secretary of State's only qualification for office is she worked as a bag woman for her concubine, the Governor of Arkansas. His foreign policy is more murderous than Bush's; his domestic policy is to bail out banks and increase taxes for the middle class and eliminate services for the poor. Eventually he and his Republican friends will privatize Social Security and Medicare. The Affordable Care Act is a travesty written by the insurance companies.
Robert Fitch has a great article on Obama's early career.
Obama, who calls himself a "community organizer" was more likely to be the lawyer for the landlord when the plaintiffs were suing for heat and hot water. The Obamas are as despicable as the Clintons. At least the Reagans and the Bushes kept their promises to their constituency.


text: I have scrounged all around and found nothing to suit my need as of yet so I'm hoping someone can help. Most of what I find is extremely complex stuff related to CPA tricks and such, but what I need is much more simplified. I'm only looking to redirect traffic from SiteA (hosting the script) to SiteB with a randomized set of custom referrals (maybe even browser agents?) only for ranking purposes, no CPA involved. Much like fakereferer dot com does but I want to host it myself. Could someone please point me to some up-to-date info? Thanks!

US President-elect Donald Trump knows who are America's "true friend" and his administration will foster constructive ties which will pay dividends on peace and prosperity in South Asia, said a prominent Indian-American industralist.
"President-elect Trump has said that under Trump administration, the US and India will be 'best friends' and that he loves the Hindu and Indian people, and particularly admires Prime Minister Narendra Modi," said Shalabh Kumar, who has been appointed to the Transition Finance and Inauguration committe.
"Trump knows that India wants peace with Pakistan," he said, a day after the Pakistani government issued a readout of the telephonic conversation between Trump and Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif.
Kumar, founder and chairman of the Republican Hindu Coalition, was instrumental in bringing Trump to a Hindu-American event less than a fortnight before the elections.
He said the President-elect believes that many of the people of Pakistan seek peace with their neighbours and would like to stamp out radical Islamic terror.
"Some of Pakistan's leaders, as well, have expressed these intentions and have a wonderful relationship with India's leaders. Trump knows who are the true friends of the US in the region," Kumar said.
"I know that President-elect Trump and the incoming administration will do everything it can to encourage these intentions and foster constructive relationships which will pay dividends on peace and prosperity in Asia and throughout the world," he said.
"I believe that President-elect Trump would make supportive and kind statements about the Pakistani people and PM Sharif," he said.
"President-elect Trump extends a hand in peace and friendship to all countries and all people who will deal fairly with the US and who seek a more peaceful and prosperous world. Under the administration, we will put America first, and will support alliances around the world that benefit the stability and welfare of all people," Kumar said.
Kumar and his family have donated a whopping USD 1.1 million to the Trump Campaign and he was among the top 14 donors for the Trump campaign.

Our weekend was laid-back, quiet and cozy. The rain kept us in for most of the day on Saturday, but we did do a little bit of outlet shopping. Check out the girls in their new shirts!
My parents have completed their move to Gilford. They are only 1.5 miles away from our house now. To say I am excited is a major understatement. We spent the gorgeous day yesterday playing in their beautiful yard. I don't know how many acres they are on, but it's a lot.
Here is the view of their back yard from the house. My parents gave the kids these weird looking frisbees to play with. They all had a blast. Olivia and Evelyn took turns throwing to each other.
I don't know why, but I just love a photo of a child walking away. Poor Snoopy, ouch!
Not the best photo, but I love the expression on Cameron's face in this one.
Olivia rode on Grampa's shoulders for a bit. I am amazed at my Dad's energy, even with his CLL. Cameron got really good at throwing the frisbee.
Look at these gorgeous kids!
The view from the back. The house is behind those gorgeous trees!

I have titled this post nesting. I think I have a different kind of nesting. It is not as much cleaning as it is creating. Whether it be sewing, scrapping, or decorating. I just can't seem to get enough of it. Unfortunately those are things that I really can't do when the boys are awake so I am naturally limited. This is probably a good thing, because I think that would be all I would do.
Anyway, here are the promised pictures of the baby's room. The theme is "Oh, the places you'll go" from the Dr. Seuss book.
The pictures on the wall are all places that Andrew has been and I have been to a few of them. I love to think about all the places our boys will see throughout their lives. Didn't the stripes turn out cute? Thank you Grandma, Susie. She taped and painted some
of the stripes and painted them and Andrew also painted some. It is hard to believe there will be another Greene boy sleeping in there soon.
I need to figure out how to make the letters pop out more. The one in the middle will have his name on it, but since we are only telling family bloggers will have to wait until the 24th.This is another project I completed a couple of months ago. It has been sitting in our garage and I just recently put it in the baby's room until I figure out how to secure it to the walls without putting huge holes in the wall to please my husband. We are going to have to add another marker in 2 weeks because the boys will be 2!
So apparently I am not the only one nesting. I was in the kitchen moping the floors and I came down and Drew had put everything up on the table off of the floor and was "vacuuming." That is what the zube tube is, he had sound effects and everything. (Yes, Greg, Darce, and Dad it is the infamous Zube Tube. How did it end up all the way in WA?) I had to take a picture. Gavin had to get in on the action. So they are helping me nest.
The boys have not really paid much attention to their clothes. They would in fact rather be naked. Sunday I put on some UT overalls and they loved them. They discovered pockets and I have had to watch them because they kept getting them out of the dirty clothes hamper. Andrew was so proud. He snapped a few pictures of them and their beached whale of a mommy. This is a sweet picture though.
Thank you Grandma Greene for our new favorite outfits!
