Thanksgiving: Dessert!
If you've been reading my blog for even a short amount of time, you'll know that I love to bake (and eat) anything sweet. So how could I not share a few dessert recipes for Thanksgiving?
The photo is from last Thanksgiving.. lots of sweets! This wasn't even all of it, there was a couple more pies on the table. lol
So this is what I'm making this year:
Pumpkin Torte
2 c crushed graham crackers
1/3 c sugar
½ c melted butter
2 eggs
¾ c sugar
8 oz cream cheese, softened
2 c pumpkin
3 egg yolks (save whites)
½ tsp salt
½ c sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
½ c milk
1 envelope plain gelatin
¼ c cold water
3 egg whites
¼ c sugar
-Mix crushed graham crackers, 1/3 c sugar and melted butter. Line a 9x13 pan with mixture.
-Beat 2 eggs, ¾ c sugar and cream cheese. Spread on top of graham cracker mixture. Bake 2 minutes at 350 degrees. Let cool.
-Combine pumpkin, 3 egg yolks, salt, ½ c sugar, cinnamon and milk. Cook until thick.
-Mix gelatin and water. Add to pumpkin mixture. Let cool.
-Beat 3 egg whites and ¼ c sugar until stiff. Fold into cold pumpkin mixture. Pour over cooled crust and refrigerate.
And for my Georgia boy: Chocolate Pecan Pie from Martha Stewart. You can find the recipe here. I've never made this (I usually just make a regular pecan pie), so I'm anxious to see how it tastes.
What are you making for tomorrow?

Handmade gifts
Here's two that are in the works:
A quilt for Brian. I'm posting this because he knows about it and he even picked several of the fabrics. haha.. I got him to go to the fabric store :)
I haven't decided on a pattern yet.. I'm thinking I want to just have fun with it and do something inspired by the Gee's Bend quilts. I have this book and it's just marvelous.And an apron for his mom. He also helped pick out this fabric. The photo is the apron from Amy Butler's In Stitches. I've made a couple of these and they're fast and easy and cute.
I'm thinking of getting one of these pot holders from SallyRags to go along with it and maybe some of our favorite recipes printed out onto cute recipe cards.
What projects will you be working on this weekend?

A confession...
I've been using baking soda and apple cider vinegar instead, and it's working so well, I'm still kind of shocked. I had a couple of weeks of weird hair (I think it might have been because I wasn't using enough vinegar), but now it's so great.. I'm glad I'm stubborn! lol
It doesn't get greasy anymore! I don't even have to wash it everyday.. right now I'm washing it every other day and just rinsing it with water on the days I don't wash, but I think soon I'll be able to wash even less. And I have long hair too.. I just can't believe how well it's working. I even met some friends at the bar last week and afterwards my hair didn't reek of cigarette smoke (which it usually does!).
I had been wondering how to do this for a while, and I happened upon a post on the Angry Chicken blog with a link to more information, which was quite helpful.
But here's how I do it (based largely on the info from the link):
- I have a big water jug with a sports top that I fill with a mixture of 1 cup water to 1 tablespoon baking soda. My jug holds 4 cups, so I mix 4 cups water and 4 tablespoons baking soda so I don't have to worry about it every day. The baking soda will dissolve in the water and it'll just look like water.
- For the apple cider vinegar, I have a spray bottle that I fill with a mixture of 1 cup water to 1 tablespoon vinegar. This bottle also holds 4 cups.
- On the days I wash my hair, I just open the sports top of the jug and pour the baking soda mixture all over my hair and massage it in (I don't use the entire bottle, I probably use about 1 cup of the mixture each time I wash). Sometimes I let it sit for a minute or so, other times I just rinse it. Depends on how dirty my hair is.
- Then I just spray the vinegar mixture in my hair, making sure it gets everywhere (again, not the entire bottle). In that link I gave with more info I think she said she doesn't use the vinegar every time she washes, but I do. Without it I find that my hair feels rough and dry. The vinegar makes it soft and shiny and it doesn't seem like it's hurting my hair at all. And the vinegar smell goes away! Promise!
- I don't use hair spray or anything else in my hair, so I can't say how that would affect it. That site said to stop drying your hair with a hair dryer, but I've been drying mine and it seems fine. I just let it air dry a little longer and use the hair dryer to get the dampness out.
I know it might sound crazy, but try it, it works!

Las Americas Response to Judge Hanen's Order of Temporary Injunction
El Paso, TX- February 17, 2015- U.S. District Court Judge Andrew Hanen's Order of Temporary Injunction is a disgraceful action taken by the court. In what seems like a purely politically motivated response that lacks sound legal reasoning, Judge Hanen has created apprehension, fear, and confusion for millions of immigrant families who were already in the process of preparing to move forward with their applications for Deferred Action.
The El Paso – Las Cruces community of immigration providers has been working since November to educate our immigrant community about the benefits of this type of deferred action, eligibility requirements, and notario fraud (unlicensed practice of law).
Las Americas will move forward with already planned community presentations during which we will address this new hurdle. It is important to understand that this barrier is temporary. The Department of Justice has already announced an intent to appeal Judge Hanen's decision. Some reports suggest that the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals could hear this case en banc in a few weeks, while others estimate that arguments could come as late as July or August.
This brief detour should be viewed as a delay and not a complete dissolution of the expanded benefits that were announced for immigrant children and families on November 20, 2014. It is also important to note that the DACA program as originally announced will continue; only the DAPA program and the DACA expansion were targeted by this injunction.
If you believe you may be eligible for these benefits or would like more information please join us for our DACA/DAPA workshop on March 7, 2015 starting at 10:00am. We will address any updates to this injunction and advise people accordingly.
Additionally, Las Americas accepts walk-ins on the 3rd Thursdays of every month from 9:00 am to 2:00 pm on a first-come, first-served basis at 1500 E. Yandell in El Paso, TX 79902. Telephone: 915-544-5126

So you've decided to come check out the pages which give you more information about the story The Stone of Truth, part of the epic high fantasy series The Wolf Riders of Keldarra. Please note that these pages DO contain spoilers about the book, so you're warned in advance about reading them.
What is it about?
The basic premise of the story is deceptively simple. Nineteen-year-old girl, who is approaching her adulthood, who is a student in this rather mysterious Order of Truth, without a care in the world, except that peace in her world is periodically shattered by attacks by the Wolf Riders.
So far so good, right?
Not quite as simple as that…
The Order of Truth, that Marrida belongs, to is shrouded in mysteries, secrets, lies, and they had an indirect hand in causing the Wolf Riders to come into being. Although it was an uprising by two friends that started that faction, it is the denial from within that allowed it to happen.
In the book there is a passage where I describe a typical evening where various people are star gazing. In that chapter you can read about the consequence of the upriseing.
Later generations within the Order of Truth decided to deny that ability the right to exist, and thus have denied the existence of the prophecy that spells the end of the Wolf Riders… all except fot the Wolf Riders themselves, who recite the words of the last member from the Order of Truth to reside over the city that they now occupy, as some sort of perverted story.
And as some say, when you have read the book, the words are not complete…
The story you read in this book is just the beginning of what may happen to the Wolf Riders… It is a story about them, and it is a story about all those around them too. It is a story of discoveries that slowly get uncovered not just by Marrida and Alagur, but many others too… and some have secrets to hide that they would never want revealed to the world…

Marihuana: A Signal of Misunderstanding
Chapter III
Social Impact of marihuana use
Effects Of Long-Term, Heavy Use
To determine the long-term chronic effects of heavy marihuana use, the Commission has carefully reviewed the world literature and contemporary studies of heavy, chronic (up to 41 years) cannabis users in the world. In addition, lower socioeconomic populations in Afghanistan, Greece, and Jamaica have been examined.
Effects On The Body
These recent studies in Greece and Jamaica report minimal physical abnormalities in the cannabis users as compared with their non-using peers.
Minimal abnormalities in pulmonary function have been observed in some cases of heavy and very heavy smokers of potent marihuana preparations (ganja or hashish). However, one study concluded the cause was smoking in general no matter what the substance. The other study could not express any conclusion because of the absence of a control population. Such decrements in normal pulmonary capacity may represent early warning signals in the development of chronic lung disease. They must be considered in any program of early prevention of disease and future disability.
No objective evidence of specific pathology of brain tissue has been documented. This
fact contrasts sharply with the well-established brain damage of chronic alcoholism.
Effects On The Mind
No outstanding abnormalities in psychological tests, psychiatric interviews or coping
patterns have been conclusively documented in studies of cannabis users in other countries
of the world. Further research in this important area is necessary before definite
conclusions can be drawn relating or linking marihuana to mental dysfunction because
available psychological tests do not measure certain higher mental functions very
Cannabis use has long been known to precipitate short-term phychotic-like episodes in
predisposed individuals or those who take excessive doses. Some observers report that the
prevalence of shortterm psychoses as well as the psychotic episodes of longer duration in
heavy cannabis users are compatible with the prevalence rate of psychosis in the general
population and, therefore, may not be attributable to cannabis use. In fact, some believe
that in populations under stress where marihuana is widely used, occurrence of the acute
psychotic-like episodes occur less often than one would expect in such a population. Other
researchers have disagreed with these conclusions, and the matter is still controversial.
Effects On Motivation
The Commission is deeply concerned about another group of behavioral effects that have been described in other nations as being associated with the heavy, long-term use of cannabis. This behavioral condition has been termed the "amotivational syndrome." An extreme form has been reported in populations of lower socioeconomic males in several developing nations. These reports describe lethargy, instability, social deterioration, a loss of interest in virtually all activities other than drug use. This state of social and economic disability also results in precipitation and aggravation of psychiatric disorders (overt psychotic behavior) and possible somatic complications among very heavy, very long-term users of high potency cannabis products. However, in the populations so far observed in Jamaica, Greece, and Afghanistan, physical and psychosocial deterioration was not reported. The life styles of these populations appeared to be conditioned by cultural and socioeconomic factors. Some researchers believe cannabis' may serve to keep these individuals stratified at this lower socioeconomic level.
The occurrence of a similar, though less intense, syndrome has been identified recently with heavy marihuana use among young persons in the Western world, including the United States. Some clinicians have described the existence of a complex of subtle social, psychological and behavioral changes related to a loss of volitional goal direction in certain individuals, including some long-term heavy users of marihuana. Such persons appear to orient only to the present. They appear, alienated from generally accepted social and occupational activities, and they tend to show a reduced concern for personal hygiene and nutrition.
Some clinicians believe that this picture is directly caused by the action of marihuana. However , other behavioral scientists believe that among impressionable adolescents, marihuana-induced suggestibility may facilitate the rapid adoption of new values and behavior patterns, particularly when the drug is taken in a socially alienated subculture that advocates and strongly reinforces such changes.
Whichever interpretation one accepts, the fact is apparent that the chronic, heavy use
of marihuana may jeopardize social and economic adjustments of the adolescents We believe
this is one concern which merits further research and evaluation. On the basis of past
studies, the chronic, heavy use of marihuana, seems to constitute a high-risk behavior,
particularly among predisposed adolescents. This consideration is especially critical when
we consider the adolescent who is in the throes of a normally turbulent emotional process.
The Commission has reviewed numerous reported studies and heard the testimony of several
clinicians dealing with heavy users of marihuana who exhibit this particular behavior
pattern. Although the United States does not, at the present time, have a large number of
such persons within its population, the incidence is too frequent to ignore. Expanded
epidemiologic studies are imperative to obtain a better understanding of this complex

Because tomorrow is Halloween, I considered coming up with a list of occupations that hadn't yet been given the "Sexy ________" costume treatment. For instance, we have sexy nurses, sexy cops, and sexy librarians. But I've yet to see a sexy lunchlady costume.
But that kind of post would bring the wrong kind of traffic to my blog, and it might possibly be sexist.
So instead, let's all enjoy these awesome photos of carved-up jack-o-lanterns, courtesy of ExtremePumpkins.com.

Powerful stories
Read powerful, real life stories about organ donation
Londoner Yuri, 47, had a lung transplant in 2014 after a series of infections had caused damage to his lungs.
He needed to be attached to an oxygen tank 24 hours a day seven days a week and after repeated lung collapses doctors advised that a lung transplant was the only way his life could be saved and improved.
Yuri waited three and a half years for a transplant and is now able to do much more than he could before. Yuri said:
"Life keeps throwing things at me and for some reason or another I'm still standing!"
"I had my partner and daughter with me after the transplant and they just kept talking to me and repeating: you've had your transplant, you've made it, you're ok.
"I think they must have said it about 100 times before I kind of realised."
Watch and share Yuri's story below.

Thank you, Bruce Carter, Director of the Quad City Airport], for your kind introduction. Thank you, Frank [Miller, Chair of the ACI] and Kelly [Johnson, Vice Chair of the AAAE], for your remarks. All of us at the Department of Transportation are grateful for the work that the AAAE and ACI-NA membership does, day in and day out, on behalf of the traveling public. So, I'm thrilled to be with you.
Last week, we heard President Obama lay out his vision for America's future. He spoke about the investments we need to make today to ensure that America's economy grows today and competes tomorrow. He made it clear -- once again -- that to "win the future," we must first rebuild America.
After I finished watching the State of the Union, I got to thinking: If I were to deliver a "state of our skies" address, what would I say?
Well, I'd remind you that U.S. airlines did not have a single fatal accident last year – the third time in the last four years this has happened. But I'd also tell you that we are not resting on our laurels – and that safety will always be our number one priority.
I'd tell you that the transition to America's NextGen air traffic control system is happening and gaining momentum – with ADS-B capability expanding rapidly. Our goal is to create a unified vision of our airports and air space – a single screen that ensures America's pilots, air traffic controllers, and aviation safety professionals can all see the same thing at the same time.
Through the Recovery Act – our emergency response to the economic crisis – the FAA funded 246 runway, taxiway, and apron reconstruction and rehabilitation projects, giving many old facilities a new lease on life for the 21st century.
Because of the Alternative Minimum Tax holiday, airports realized $1.6 billion in savings on private activity bonds during the life of the Recovery Act.
Through the Voluntary Airport Low Emission – or VALE – grant program, the FAA has helped 22 of America's airports "go green" and pilot 40 innovative projects that are improving travelers' experiences and protecting the planet simultaneously.
And my "state of the skies" address would include the details of one of our greatest success stories: the Tarmac Delay Rule. Just look at the facts. Between May and October 2009, there were 546 three-plus hour tarmac delays. Between May and October 2010, there were just 12 – none of which exceeded three hours by more than minutes. So, clearly, we've made enormous progress – in spite of some problems with foreign carrier flights at JFK during the holiday season.
Now, in 2011, we're aiming even higher. That's why we've proposed additional requirements that would increase compensation for passengers bumped from oversold flights; additional requirements that would enable customers to hold reservations without payment for 24 hours or to return tickets for a full refund within 24 hours of their purchase; and additional requirements that would make airlines reimburse your baggage fees if they lose your bags.
I know you'll agree that treating travelers well makes good business sense too – that safety and consumer protection go hand in hand. After all, the faith that American travelers have in the aviation industry is hard-won but easily lost. So I hope you'll join us to support these important measures, which are essential to protecting the rights of air travelers.
We also need your support to get the FAA reauthorization legislation done. The Senate is considering it. The House will do so soon. And we're confident that all sides are committed to getting the bill passed and to the President's desk quickly.
Look: You know that FAA reauthorization is not only critical, but also a real opportunity for both parties to come together. It's an opportunity to invest in tomorrow's aviation system while creating jobs in today's economy. We certainly hope you'll stand with us at this important moment. Because, let's face it: In some ways, the technology we have in our cars these days is more up to date than the technology we have in our cockpits. We know that retrofitting planes with state of the art NextGen technologies requires a significant up-front investment.
In an industry where profit margins are closely guarded, it's not an easy call to make upgrades. So, as some of you know, we're making it a little easier to do exactly that thanks to the tax cut bill that President Obama signed into law before the holidays.
What does it mean for the airline industry? It means there is no better time to invest in airport, air craft, and air traffic technology – to enjoy minimum costs and maximum long-term benefits. It means there is no better time to plan, invest, and build for our future competitiveness. And it's no coincidence that we're doing the same thing within the department.
That's why last spring we launched the Future of Aviation Advisory Committee. We asked this diverse group of policy experts to make policy and regulatory recommendations. And they answered our call with 23 consensus suggestions.
Think about that. 23 consensus recommendations from an industry not exactly associated with consensus!
Now, we're closely reviewing these ideas. We're working to implement them quickly and responsibly. We'll be appointing someone full time – someone directly accountable to me – who will make sure we're getting this done in the right way. We will put in place a reporting structure so we can keep monitoring, evaluating, and refining our efforts over time.
The bottom line on FAAC is this: These recommendations will not gather dust on a shelf. They won't get forgotten in a file cabinet. They will guide our actions today, tomorrow, and in the future.
So, for the department, this will be our year ahead: We will work to make our skies safer; to accelerate the transition to NextGen; to better protect travelers; to pass and begin to implement the FAA reauthorization; and to lay the groundwork that allows the industry to, as President Obama said, win the future.
We're all in this together. Yes, the government can set goals. We can fund projects. We can create regulations. But it's up to you – the leaders at the state and local level – to put all the pieces together. And you're clearly doing something right.
If we keep working together, if we keep finding common ground, we'll keep American moving, building and competing – not just today, not just tomorrow, but for years to come.

I could not get enough of the new cheesy custard buns at Pappa Rich's. They changed my life forever.
I was innocently walking home from work and passed by Pappa Rich's, where the most unsuspicious banner caught my eye.
Being a huge fan of both cheese and sales, I could not say no. Thus, I walked into Pappa Rich's and was
greeted by knocked off my feet by the scent of freshly baked bread.
My eyes darted frantically right to left and right again in search of my quarry, the cheesy custard buns, and I found them. They sat seductively in a glass shelf beside the cashier, tantalizing my taste buds which were already began to water. But then I noticed her. She was dressed oddly. Faded tee, oversized handbag, shoes that were out of place with the rest of her outfit, complete with a pair of jeans with patchwork squares of other materials sewn onto it. She was fidgety, trying unsuccessfully to remain inconspicuous in a corner of the shop.
Her eyes were those of trapped prey, and she behaved as one as well. This was when my survival instincts kicked in. I immediately knew she was up to no good. I halted my mission and told myself that custard buns can wait. I had to stop this minor menace first.
So, I took up a tray and tongs and began to browse through the bakery slowly. I scanned each tray with an agonizingly slow pace, all the while keeping an eye on the suspect through the corner of my eye. She still has not moved. And I was beginning to come to the conclusion that she was waiting for the bakery to become emptier before she robs it.
I suddenly had a thought. What if she had a gun! I froze in my tracks as I contemplated what I would do in face of the unexpected. I glanced at her once more. That oversized handbag… She definitely had a gun! Suddenly, my knees grew weak and my courage faded as quickly as it came. I had never come face to face with a gun before. And if I do, it may be my last…
As I grew more and more into a nervous wreck due to my paranoid soliloquy, an employee of the bakery walked out of the kitchen. A young beautiful girl, and she was approaching the suspect. Her eyes were on the floor, she looked tired and her body hunched from the fatigue of working all day. She was about to walk into arm's range of the suspect, and that was when the suspect suddenly moved.
It all happened simultaneously, the bakery's grandfather clock chimed ten times, and the suspect's sudden movement, and the employee walked between me and the suspect and blocked the suspect from my line of vision. I reacted immediately, I straightened, and grabbed my tongs and tray as if they were weapons and circled around the bakery shelves that separated me and the suspect to get nearer to her. The suspect was now opposite me and I could finally see her face clearly.
She had brown, worn eyes that hinted traces of a lifetime of hardship, and her many wrinkles on her face folded over each other as if trying to knit a pattern. I realized how old she could have been probably past her forties. She was now inspecting a tray of bread and I was contemplating my next move. Shall I talk to her? Be cool like one of those agents you see on Hollywood films and say, "I know what you're up to." Would she freeze once she realized she was discovered? Or would she react back? And if she did, would she react violently? But before I could do anything, the employee spoke to her first.
She said, "Hi there aunty! Same time everyday, huh?" A regular? She must have been scouting out this place for a long time! I thought. Then the aunty replied, "Yes, dear! I could not possibly afford anything here unless they were half price. I've been waiting for you to put up the sign since just now!" I then realized something crucial and how very wrong I had been. I bought my cheesy custard buns for half price then promptly left the store. The cashier did not understand why my face was flushed red.

We buy heirloom tomatoes every now and then, especially when they are on sale. Rock n' Roll Ralph's usually has them on for $5.99/lb but yesterday they were only $3.39/lb, which was cheaper then the regular tomatoes, so of course we bought some. If you have never tried heirloom tomatoes before, you should. They really taste like real tomatoes instead of those mushy tasteless things that pass for tomatoes these days.
In case you are wondering, heirloom tomatoes are here is a good introduction.

9 beads on a straight chain with the image of St. Jude on one end and a Crucifix on the other end.
How to say:
Oh Holy St. Jude, Apostle and Martyr, great in virtue and rich in miracles, near kinsman of Jesus Christ, faithful intercessor of all who invoke your special help in time of need. To you I have recourse from the depth of my heart and humbly request assistance. Help me in my present and urgent petition. In return, I promise to make your name known and cause you to be invoked.
Say three Our Fathers, three Hail Marys and three Glorias.
This novena, if said in good faith, has never been known to fail and must be said for nine consecutive days.
St. Jude Chaplet
This chaplet is green and consists of 40 beads and a medal of St. Jude (Picture not shown at this time)
Prayed as follows:
St. Jude, glorious apostle, faithful servant and friend of Jesus, the name of the traitor has caused you to be forgotten by many, but the true Church invokes you universally as the Patron of things despaired of; pray for me, that finally I may receive the consolation and the succor of Heaven in all my necessities, tribulations and sufferings, particularly (here make your request), and that I may bless God with you and all the elect throughout eternity. Amen.
A Hail Mary is recited on each bead with the following invocation:
St. Jude, Apostle, martyr and relative of Our Lord Jesus Christ, of Mary and of Joseph, intercede for us.
"The prayer to St. Jude is to be said when problems arise or when one seems to be deprived of all visible help, or for cases almost despaired of. You do not need a chaplet to say this prayer.
The prayer to St. Jude
Most holy apostle, St. Jude, faithful servant and friend of Jesus, the Church honors and invokes you universally as the patron of hopeless cases, of things almost despaired of. Pray for me, I am so helpless and alone. Make use I implore you, of that particular privilege given to you, to bring visible and speedy help where help is almost despaired of. Come to my assistance in this great need that I may receive the consolation and help of heaven in all my necessities, tribulations, and sufferings, particularly -- (Here make your request) and that I may praise God with you and all the elect forever. I promise, O blessed St. Jude, to be ever mindful of this great favor, to always honor you as my special and powerful patron, and to gratefully encourage devotion to you. Amen."
(To encourage devotion to St. Jude, distribute prayer cards or acknowledge in writing favors received).
National Shrine of St. Jude, Claretian Missionaries, 205 W. Monroe St., Chicago, IL 60606.

Math Academy greatly improved my grades for Additional Mathematics. The teachers there are extremely patient and are more than willing to understand and explain on topics that you might be weak in! Classes are also well-planned and shaped in a way that enhances your learning experience and elevates your understanding of math significantly. The materials provided are also made to be simple to understand, and it made me realise how simple math is when the notes were broken down into smaller sections. Math Academy is undeniably one of the best math-specialised tuition centre in Singapore and I'll especially recommend to people who are struggling with math/additional mathematics in school!

In the example, if we issue a command
make example.tex, the value of

$(basename $<) yields the basename without the extension. The basename without the extension is required for

What is Nutrition & Metabolism?
- Richard D Feinman1Email author and
- M Mahmood Hussain1, 2
© Feinman and Hussain; licensee BioMed Central Ltd. 2004
- Received: 02 August 2004
- Accepted: 17 August 2004
- Published: 17 August 2004
A new Open Access journal, Nutrition & Metabolism (N&M) will publish articles that integrate nutrition with biochemistry and molecular biology. The open access process is chosen to provide rapid and accessible dissemination of new results and perspectives in a field that is of great current interest. Manuscripts in all areas of nutritional biochemistry will be considered but three areas of particular interest are lipoprotein metabolism, amino acids as metabolic signals, and the effect of macronutrient composition of diet on health. The need for the journal is identified in the epidemic of obesity, diabetes, dyslipidemias and related diseases, and a sudden increase in popular diets, as well as renewed interest in intermediary metabolism.
Recent events that provide the rationale for a new Open Access journal, Nutrition & Metabolism (N&M) include 1) an awareness of an epidemic of obesity, diabetes, dyslipidemias and related diseases, 2) a sudden increase in the popularity of diets, such as low carbohydrate diets, to achieve weight loss and combat diabetes, and 3) a renewed interest in intermediary metabolism accompanied by the development of new tools and techniques for genomic and metabolic analysis.
With the considerable activity shown in these areas, rapid and easily accessible dissemination of new information is clearly valuable. Whereas articles in existing journals do discuss intermediary metabolism in a nutritional context, there is a need for a unique and explicit focus for this discipline. In addition, it is precisely because publications in nutritional biochemistry are spread over such a large number of existing journals, few libraries and almost no individual can subscribe to all. It is in areas like this that free, open access becomes important. There is a large published debate on open access (see, e.g. [1]). Most recently, the UK House of commons issued a report encouraging open access publishing of government-funded research (available with comments through http://www.plos.org/about/openaccess.html) and similar motions exist in the US congress [2, 3]. The editors of N&M feel that, at this point, the burden of proof is on proponents of perpetuating the current system. We are, however, not doctrinaire on this point and believe one should pay for a service if it is valuable. Beyond information, printed collections provide convenience and we intend to offer bound copies of articles on individual topics as the journal proceeds.
Nutrition and metabolism is a broad field and we welcome submissions from all areas of nutrition and related biochemistry. Like any journal, however, N&M has its own strengths and interests as indicated by the board of editors http://www.nutritionandmetabolism.com/edboard/. Three areas of particular interest are lipoprotein metabolism, amino acids as metabolic signals, and the effect of macronutrient composition of diet on health. This is reflected in our opening research articles by Darimont, et al. on the control of obesity and lipid structure by adrenergic systems, and by Volek, et al. on the effectiveness of low carbohydrate diets, and differential effects on fat and lean mass.
The sudden popularity of low carbohydrate diets is one of the most remarkable phenomena in nutrition today. A recent editorial by Walter Willett points out how important it is that we understand them [4]. Similarly, the recent conference on Nutritional and Metabolic Aspects of Low Carbohydrate Diets http://downstate.edu/kingsbrook/, while not recommending any particular diet, highlighted many of the relevant issues in macronutrient control of metabolism. In our initial publications, contributors to the conference will provide reviews of the various topics covered. In the first posting, Klaas Westerterp summarizes the importance of macronutrient composition in thermogenesis, and Stephen Phinney discusses the impact of ketogenic diets on physical performance. Kimball and Jefferson review the regulation of mRNA translation in general. The article provides a nice overview of various mechanisms involved in the control of protein synthesis when amino acids become limiting. Perhaps the most important from a practical standpoint, Nuttall and Gannon summarize potential benefits of higher protein diets in diabetes.
Nutrition & Metabolism welcomes contributions in all areas of research in which nutrition interacts with biochemistry and molecular biology. Emphasis will be on the molecular, biochemical, and physiologic understanding of various metabolic pathways. The journal will publish Original Research, Reviews, Commentaries and Perspectives, Brief Communications, Methods and Book Reviews. Access to all articles in N&M is free. Articles are included in PubMed and archived in PubMed Central. Online submissions can be made at http://nutritionandmetabolism.com/manuscript.

So I'm a huge fan of Fab, which every day emails me something new that I never knew I needed. It also gives me lots of ideas for things I could make myself. I love all things nautical, so when Fab emailed one day with nautical flags, I was all – HEY I COULD LIKE TOTALLY DO THAT!
I thought it would be cool to do A:
O:and W (source), since those are my initials:
I started to do the A, but figured it would look weird since the actual nautical flag for A is cut off. W stands for Whiskey, which is my favorite, and its design lends itself to the great painting technique known as painter's tape. Plus, my curtains are red, white and blue so this one matches perfectly and I already had a white-primed canvas laying around. So, reading between the lines here, covering the canvas in a healthy dose of white paint and letting it dry is step numero uno.
With whatever was laying around that looked to be about two inches, I used a pencil to put hash marks on the canvas so it would at least be kind of straight and marked it off with painter's tape. As I can tell now, the center box was totally closer to one side. Good thing I'm not a perfectionist. Then I started with blue paint:
Then added in the red while the blue dried:
Once that was all dry, I took off the tape and filled in the gaps by eye:
Since some of the paint leaked under the tape, I touched them up by hand, which is always the most soothing part for me:
Once all that was dry, I Instagrammed it!

Design, History, & Development.
Mark Hudson BSc (Hons) of HiQ Sound, Mark is a music enthusiast with a vast array of professional design skills and experience in all aspects of the audio world; HiQ Sound is a company originally formed to design and produce equipment supporting the professional live and recorded music industry.
As a result he has been responsible for the design and manufacture of studio equipment, amplification, Hi-Fi & studio monitor and live event loudspeakers, as well as control equipment, digital processing, and even a range of electronic musical instruments.
He not only works on his own designs but is also involved as a design consultant for many of the biggest names in both professional audio as well as many Hi-fi manufacturers.
His vast design experience covers all aspects of the industry from the design of individual integrated circuits, to loudspeaker design in all its aspects including the design of drive units, crossovers, and enclosures, and as such he holds a number of patents on specific aspects of unique loudspeaker technology.
He has been responsible for the design, and installation of sound systems in some very prestigious and important venues from
recording studios, and professional theatre and performance venues to
luxury five star hotels.
In addition he carries out design work in the field of digital audio and as well as amplifier designs and development.
Through his involvement in the domestic and professional music world he has also built an enviable reputation in the restoration of classic valve amplifiers and equipment, this has resulted in some exciting recent developments of which more details soon.
Nigel M Brown of QT Products, Chantry Audio, & previously originally in partnership with Tom Fletcher in Space Acoustics. The original designers and manufacturers of The Space Deck & Space Arm. Nigel an engineer with a life long love of music and a desire to understand how things work, and therefore how to improve performance and overcome problems.
Building the first turntable entirely to his own design during 1982, this utilised no commercially available parts and all materials selected were to offer solutions to problems as he perceived them, the final results were very encouraging. So he then went on to develop further variations of the design to produce a commercially viable product from the original concept.
During this process Nigel was introduced by a mutual friend, to the now sadly missed Audio legend Tom Fletcher who at the time was working entirely alone producing the original Omega Point turntable and arm sold under the names of New Line engineering, & Nottingham Analogue Studio. Tom was able to see and hear Nigel's original turntable designs and it appears Tom liked the results they produced as shortly afterwards Tom suggested pooling resources on some future projects. As a result they subsequently formed a partnership, with the company then known as Space Acoustics.
Space Acoustics subsequently exhibited their turntables and speakers at the London international Hi Fi Show, something neither partner had ever done before, and all the products were extremely well received, as a result links were formed with future trading partners from around the world for both the turntables as well as the speakers that were exhibited.
This partnership proved to be a very productive collaboration, during the time of this partnership working together on three very different turntable designs, as well as the evaluation and selection of the first of the cartridges to be used with The Space deck and future turntables. Nigel also designed the five sided, floor standing, two way loudspeakers, The Space 50's and began work some time later on a
stand mounted Space 25's.
After the Space Acoustics partnership was by mutual agreement dissolved. Chantry Audio was created and run for the next eighteen years. The company sold a truly diverse range of products covering budget to high end audio, by names such as:- Krell, Audio Research, Wilson, Sonus Faber, Martin Logan, DNM, Croft, Pink Triangle, Meridian, Creek, Epos, Rotel, B&W (inc 800 series), Michell Eng, Avid, SME, Ortofon, Dynavector, Koetsu, Thorens, Nottingham Analogue, Project, Rega, Audion, Copland, Prima luna, Theata, DPA, plus many, many, more, as well as a range of home cinema and home automation and installation products covering a similar range of products and prices.

Update 7 – 1 November, 2014
Finally, after having to let the third exercise dealing with rotation linger for such a long time – here it is. Looking forward to designing the scenes now and getting the audio from the movie.
Update 6 – 12 September, 2014
I was quite busy so it took some time to take the next steps in exercising with scale animators. But here's what I came up with.
Update 5 – 17 August, 2014
In this exercise I investigated animations similar to the videos in the project steps section. All animations are done with keyframes. I also tried a piece with expressions and Newton. Next will be the Scale Animators.
Update 4 – 13 August, 2014
This isn't very exciting but I tried to imitate the exact same motion with text animators to see the difference. Especially number 4 from the top needed a different treatment in the graph editor.
Update 3 – 13 August, 2014
After watching the first video lessons I played with the graph editor and I will post my exercises with the different animation properties. First up: animation with position keyframes
PS: For those who are interested and use Mac OS, the uploaded image is a GIF created with "GIF Brewery". It a convenient app to convert short video clips into GIF animations. (http://www.helloresolven.com/portfolio/gifbrewery)
Update 2 – 29 July, 2014
Here are some first rough sketches in which I laid out my scenes. As you can see I plan to incorporate some animated illustrations to support the quote.
Update 1 – 28 July, 2014
Font choices … To set the tone I tried to look for fonts that reflect the characters of the movie. For the very tech obsessed villain Obadiah Stane I looked for a bulky, constructed sans serif font and for Tony Stark, who deep inside is an emotional and rebellious character, I chose a script font that is related to 1940ies/1950ies advertising which could also be associated with Hot Rods. Throughout the movie Tony Stark's Hot Rod can be seen and it even inspires the red colour to the Iron Man armour.
The Fonts are
Roadstar: http://www.fontspace.com/ktf-kustomtype/ktf-roadstar as well as http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/kustomtype/roadstar/
I think they have good contrast and show the big difference between the two characters. Both fonts are free fonts. Roadstar licenses can be purchased to use it for commercial purposes and then it has even more glyphs (upper and lower case and much more). But the free version for personal use will be sufficient for this project.
Hi all,
I'm a graphic designer from Vienna – mostly working in print and editorial design. But I want to boost my animation skills so I joined this class.
One of my favourite quotes is from the movie "Iron Man" which also inspired the name of my design blog on wordpress (http://dropsomespecs.wordpress.com/about).
It's the conversation between Tony Stark and Obadiah Stane about revealing some information about his chest piece.
Hey, hey! Hey, Tony. Listen.
I'm trying to turn this thing around,
but you gotta give me something.
Something to pitch them.
Let me have the engineers analyze that.
You know, draw up some specs.
- No. No, absolutely not.
- It'll give me a bone to throw the boys
- in New York!
- This one stays with me.
- That's it, Obie. Forget it.
Hoping to come up with some nice ideas and animations I'm very much looking forward to this class. The movie has such an incredible title sequence (http://www.artofthetitle.com/title/iron-man) created by Prologue (http://prologue.com) so it will be hard not to be inspired by it.

text: Hi Everyone, My game sound (engine) seems to go away from time to time. I can't really determine if there is a pattern to it but it always seems to happen online when a race start or a few cars together. When the engine sound doesn't go away/flutter it seems to change to a "Tunnel" effect and would then just return to normal. I have also experienced this during offline hotlapping when my car is close or in my own ghost but I can't say for sure. What makes this a pain is that it always happens at the start of a race so you have to look at the rev vounter to change gears and wait until the sound returns. Anyone else seen/heard this? Thanks

2014 has been another banner year for Read the Docs. The project has been steadily growing in the open source ecosystem, expanding a good deal outside of the Python community.

Today we are announcing User-defined Redirects for Read the Docs. This has been a long requested feature that should cut down on 404's when migrating your documentation.
Read the Docs has long had Redirects, but they are managed automatically for only certain use cases. This change allows users to control a specific set of common redirects.

Documentation is an often overlooked part of a software project. Today we are releasing badges for your docs, so that people can easily see that your docs are up-to-date.
The main use of badges is to show the status of your project's build. They will display in green for passing, red for failing, and yellow for unknown states.

How Islamists Will Change Politics, and Vice Versa
For decades, U.S. policy toward the Middle East has been paralyzed by "the Islamist dilemma" -- how can the United States promote democracy in the region without risking bringing Islamists to power? Now, it seems, the United States no longer has a choice. Popular revolutions have swept U.S.-backed authoritarian regimes from power in Tunisia and Egypt and put Libya's on notice. If truly democratic governments form in their wake, they are likely to include significant representation of mainstream Islamist groups. Like it or not, the United States will have to learn to live with political Islam.
Washington tends to question whether Islamists' religious commitments can coexist with respect for democracy, pluralism, and women's rights. But what the United States really fears are the kinds of foreign policies such groups might pursue. Unlike the Middle East's pro-Western autocracies, Islamists have a distinctive, albeit vague, conception of an Arab world that is confident, independent, and willing to project influence beyond its borders.
There is no question that democracy will make the region more unpredictable and some governments there less amenable to U.S. security interests. At their core, however, mainstream Islamist organizations, such as the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt and Jordan and al Nahda in Tunisia, have strong pragmatic tendencies. When their survival has required it, they have proved willing to compromise their ideology and make di⁄cult choices.
To guide the new, rapidly evolving Middle East in a favorable direction, the United States should play to these instincts by entering into a strategic dialogue with the region's Islamist groups and parties. Through engagement, the United States can encourage these Islamists to respect key Western interests, including advancing the Arab-Israeli peace process, countering Iran, and combating terrorism. It will be better to develop such ties with opposition groups now, while the United States still has leverage, rather than later, after they are already in power.
The Middle East's mainstream Islamist movements, most of which are

The Irresistible is an exploration of the invisible and insidious nature of unconscious bias, told through multiple parallel narratives that intersect through mystery and sci-fi. Locations and time bleed into one another with dream-like fluidity as performers' transition from one character to the next at breakneck-speed.
Deep in the gloom a phone rings. The voice on the line slips beneath her skin and curls its fingers around his stomach. You can't see it, you can't touch it, you can barely feel it. You can't hold on tight enough.
The Irresistible is a reckless, intoxicating love letter to the subconscious.
