Before you give up, try some easy-peasy "5-Minute Grain-free Banana Pancakes."
These pancakes are so simple, I often eat them before rushing off to the office or a meeting. They are also great with your coffee and almond milk for a nice relaxing Sunday morning.Read More
Recently, I started a grain-free lifestyle. I honestly wasn't certain if this was do-able. Taking bread out of my diet didn't even seem possible two months ago, but I decided to take it on as a challenge.
The Result: I've experienced amazing side effects (aka: an indigestion issue that went away + more energy + more vibrant/younger-looking skin + weight loss).
I've recently received emails and texts asking about my specific choices. I'm including them below with the understanding that I'm not a nutritionist. These are my choices based on journalistic research, and trial and error. Your food choices might be completely different. You have to tune in to your own body, and see how your system reacts.Read More

"Is it worth it, let me work it. I put my thing down, flip it and reverse it." – Missy Elliot
For the last few weeks, we have been tapping into our inner bitch. Yes, you know that inner fierce loud, thrashing and impatient voice that takes over abruptly like a volcano spewing out of every pore of your being, mostly when you have ignored problems and issues too long. Maybe it had something to do with the Taurus Full Moon (the tendency during this time for the tides in nature and our aqueous bodies to run AWOL - aching to release unserving patterns and yearning for justice). Something inside is saying, "You're worth more," but do you actually know your worth?! Let's chat.Read More

Picked up this beaut at the dump for five quid...Needed a clean up, some Briwax and some funky Ikea fabric to replace the original, saggy, dirty fabric.
Not too shabby, if I say so myself! Although, perhaps I could have spent a little longer at the ironing board (bored!). Nothing that won't stretch out with a little wear!

K20D Freezes Up Occasionally
Here is a Poll that was raised by a K20D user at the Pentax Forums:-
The Poll has completed now and just more than 10% of the K20D users who have participated reported that their K20D units did have frozen up before and occasionally - some more frequently and some less.
So, what does this tell? With no doubt, the K20D does have some hidden bugs that affect its reliability, no matter hardware and/or software wise. In fact, the K20D is actually the most problematic Pentax DSLR ever made for what have been reported by so many different users so far, for various different hardware, software and reliability issues.
I hope that the next Pentax middle to upper class DSLR which is to replace this problematic "flagship" should be more mature. I do hope Pentax/Hoya do not use the current Samsung sensor in the K20D anymore as it is very likely to be the culprit for many problems such as the banding issues, hot pixels issue (that even cannot be completely cured/hidden with firmware), forced noise reduction for long time exposure, very limited LiveView usability and etc. which are all primitively related to the sensor, as the prime source/cause of the problems.
If Pentax is to use the Sony sensor which is now used in the Nikon D90 and D5000, I bet the chance for them to succeed would be much higher. If they still use a Samsung sensor, it *must* be a new fully debugged version instead of the previous immature and buggy one. If the latter is still the case, I would really feel very sorry as marketing wise they are just committing suicide! But judging at the current relationship between Pentax and Samsung, there is hope that Pentax do not use a Samsung sensor anymore and my wishful thinking is that the chance should not be low, as Pentax should have learnt much from the K20D lesson!
Edit 4-23: More reports on the same issue by different users, for both the K20D and the "Samsung" GX-20:-

Posted by David Curtis on June 23, 2015 in Blog
David Curtis is an intern with the Arab American Institute
Last week, David Kilcullen, former senior advisor to General David Petraeus and counterinsurgency expert, spoke at the New America Foundation in an event titled "Blood Year: Terror and the Islamic State." Dr. Kilcullen described the chilling inner workings of ISIL leadership, and the strategy he believes the West should consider in combating the ruthless group.
Any detailed discussion of ISIL will send shudders through a room, but a few features of Kilcullen's speech were particularly striking – apart from his concluding affirmation that in Syria and Iraq, ISIL is "winning, no doubt."
Audience members were most shocked at Kilcullen's revelation that ISIL may actually satisfy the four international requirements needed for statehood. As terrifying as it is to admit, Kilcullen may be right: ISIL has taken over about 30% of both Syria and Iraq, controlling a population of around 5 million, has made serious attempts at infrastructure, and only needs the ability to enter into relations with other countries (even North Korea is recognized as a "state").
Because ISIL indeed functions as a state, the group should be treated as such on the battlefield. It is not enough to incoherently strike ISIL from the air as if it is simply an insurgent group (according to Kilcullen, NATO dropped 25 times more bombs on Yugoslavia in 1999 than the coalition has on ISIL targets so far). Civilians are hostages in ISIL-held cities, and the coalition should focus on destroying the guarded exits on city perimeters to provide safe exit pathways for civilians; services must also be provided on city outskirts for citizens yearning to escape.
Kilcullen's discussion of ISIL's secular leadership was equally stunning. Oftentimes, he says, "the religious aren't calling the shots." About 30% of ISIL's leadership comes from Saddam's Baathist regime, and these secular-minded leaders treat foreign Islamists as "religious idiots," sending them to the front lines as suicide bombers.
Is it really true that there are secular Sunnis – and not just religious zealots – who support ISIL? Kilcullen clarified that ISIL's Baathists are mostly concerned with establishing their own power and wealth, and it therefore doesn't matter through what gateway they obtain control. In other words, if ISIL is the platform to power, then so be it. Still though, it is baffling to consider that there may be a decent portion of ISIL leaders and commanders who don't actually believe in the proposed "caliphate." And while there is hardly any media focus on secular supporters of ISIL, a little research will show that this odd faction does actually exist, and represents a considerable amount of ISIL followers.
Perhaps most fascinating, though, Kilcullen blamed the flood of foreign fighters into the region largely on Western governments' policies towards Muslim minorities. In his home country of Australia, Kilcullen described how the government has allowed for elder conservative men – who young Muslims cannot identify with – to lead Islamic communities with a degree of sovereignty. Young men and women who may have liberal ideas feel marginalized in their own communities, and think (often mistakenly) that they will feel more at home with an organization like ISIL than with the conservative society that they have grown up with.
Some European countries may be even worse, with foolishly panicked "countering violent extremism" programs only serving to isolate Islamic communities further. It seems that the more fearful a country is of religious extremism, the more likely its citizens are to adopt dangerous and extreme positions – Great Britain and France have made robust attempts at "combating extremism," and have ironically sent more citizens to fight with ISIL than any other European country.
America should take note. The U.S. is not completely immune to its own citizens being enamored with extremist ideologies, and the mass surveillance of Arabs and Muslims and propagation of Islamophobia do not help the case for democracy and freedom. Arab Americans and American Muslims must be able to feel like part of the community, rather than a marginalized subdivision.
ISIL can be defeated, but it will take more than muddled and uncoordinated airstrikes, and will require astute and prudent policies both at home and abroad.

The instrumented indentation test, which measures indentation tensile properties, has attracted interest recently because this test can replace uniaxial tensile test. An international standard for instrumented indentation test has been recently legislated. However, the uncertainty of the indentation tensile properties has never been estimated. The indentation tensile properties cannot be obtained directly from experimental raw data as can the Brinell hardness, which makes estimation of the uncertainty difficult. The simplifying uncertainty estimation model for the indentation tensile properties proposed here overcomes this problem. Though the influence quantities are generally defined by experimental variances when estimating uncertainty, here they are obtained by calculation from indentation load-depth curves. This model was verified by round-robin test with several institutions. The average uncertainties were estimated as 18.9% and 9.8% for the indentation yield strength and indentation tensile strength, respectively. The values were independent of the materials' mechanical properties but varied with environmental conditions such as experimental instruments and operators. The uncertainties for the indentation yield and tensile strengths were greater than those for the uniaxial tensile test. These larger uncertainties were caused by measuring local properties in the instrumented indentation test. The two tests had the same tendency to have smaller uncertainties for tensile strength than yield strength. These results suggest that the simplified model can be used to estimate the uncertainty in indentation tensile properties.

New Skyfall Trailer brings the James Bond action
I found the first Skyfall trailer a little vague and not all that interesting. Of course, I think it was meant to be more of a tease than an actual trailer. Fortunately, a new action-packed trailer packed with the "wow" is now available. And this one is so good that I'm now getting anxious to see this film in the fall.

Teacher Althea Garbutt Authors "Rootsville"
On Thursday evening at the University of the West Indies Open Campus in Belize City, a new publication was released, targeting upper division for primary schools as well as first and second form students. 'Rootsville' is a compilation of locally inspired stories and a play, authored by Althea Garbutt, a teacher at the Nazarene High School in Belize City. The stories feature topics such as: biting the hands that feed you, the abuse of power by law enforcement officials, party politics, as well as subtle discriminatory practices. The exciting literary piece can be easily transition into the education system because Garbutt attached class activities in the publication. Today, in an interview with the media, she says that 'Rootsville' is a good read for all Belizeans.
Althea Garbutt, Author, Rootsville
"It took me quite a while because these are stories that I wrote over the years and they are my babies and I kept them very close to me. And I didn't want to release them because it is just a hobby; the writing was a hobby for me. But a friend of mind saw one of my stories and she was like why don't you put it out there and I said no, these are for me. But eventually I got to that place and I got a little confidence in myself and that's where I am today. The book is named off one of the stories called Rootsville and we took that story and we made it into a play. We did this play at the Bliss a couple years ago. And I also have another play in the book called 'Traditions.' And it is all about Belize and what we do around Christmas time, how we have to get everything new, we have to change marley and we have to paint up the old house; I mean it is totally geared towards Belizeans so people can relate to it, it is very relatable."
Duane Moody
"So it is for everyone, not only students?"
Althea Garbutt
"Yes, adults can read it and understand, especially that Christmas tradition – what we go through Christmas time. I think my school, I have good promise from my principal with the book and so they more than likely—keeping my fingers crossed—would recommend it. And also this book contains activity. The teachers don't have to think up what activities am I going to do towards the stories. I have all of that as a part of the book."
Duane Moody
How many stories total?"
Althea Garbutt
"It has four stories and one play."
For now, the book can be accessed directly from Garbutt at twenty-five dollars each. She can be contacted at 602-2819,

It's always disturbing to see animals being abused. As people whose very livelihood depends on animal welfare and stewardship in animal care, the mere thought generates anger and disgust. So, too, does the thought that people would lie about something like that to advance their extremist agenda.
The animal rights group Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) this week released video footage that shows workers in a California packing plant abusing downer cows. The video, taken the fall of 2007, shows workers using electric prods on cows that are unable to stand on their own; forklifts to roll downer cows on the ground to get them to stand for inspection; and high intensity water sprayed in their nostrils.
Those actions are not just violations of federal regulations, but of common decency and a moral obligation we have to handle animals with respect and in a humane manner. The footage was taken by a hidden camera worn by a HSUS activist who worked at Hallmark Meat Packing in Chino, CA. The plant sells meat for processing to Westland Meat Co. in Chino, according to the Washington Post.
Steve Mendell, Westland president and operations manager at Hallmark, expressed disbelief to the Washington Post that employees used electric prods to get sick or injured animals on their feet for federal inspectors. "That's impossible," he said, adding that "electrical prods are not allowed on the property."
Asked if his employees use forklifts to get downed animals off the ground, he said, "I can't imagine that." Asked if water was sprayed up animals' noses to get them to stand, he said, "That's absolutely not true." Mendell told the Washington Post that the company has a "massive humane treatment program here that we follow to the Nth degree, so this doesn't even sound possible. I don't stand out there all day, but to me it would be next to impossible."
Nevertheless, newly anointed Ag Secretary Ed Schafer called for an investigation of the plant by USDA's Office of the Inspector General, Food Safety and Inspection Service and Ag Marketing Service. In addition, he suspended Westland Meat Company as a supplier to federal food programs and placed a hold on all meat from the plant. Those measures will remain in effect until the USDA investigation is complete.
Smell test?
However, this whole sordid affair doesn't pass my smell test. It was conducted by HSUS, which has been clear in its intent to put the meat industry out of existence and change the U.S. to a vegan society. Given that agenda, one has to suspect their actions.
Apparently, Schafer smelled a similar odor. "It is unfortunate that the Humane Society of the United States did not present this information to us when these alleged violations occurred in the fall of 2007," Schafer said. "Had we known at the time the alleged violations occurred, we would have initiated our investigation sooner, and taken appropriate actions at that time."
While hidden cameras have gone out of vogue recently, HSUS and PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) still use the tactic from time to time. I recall an incident in the early 90s where a now-defunct television show called "Prime Time Live" snuck a hidden camera into an Excel (now Cargill Meat Solutions) beef plant in Friona, TX and videotaped alleged carcass mishandling. As best I can recall, it turned out the whole deal was staged by the meat inspector's union in an attempt to derail a proposed streamlined meat inspection system.
It might be possible that the HSUS video is accurate. But I doubt it. We will wait to see what USDA finds in its investigation and report that to you. In the meantime, however, it's wise for all of us to view HSUS' tactics with a skepticism they well deserve.

With most of the lakes on the Decoy complex frozen over for several days, midweek matches had to be cancelled and even the weekend fixtures were in doubt.
The Saturday Open did go ahead and Simon Godfrey finished out in front from peg 22 on the Beastie Pool.
He put 28lb 9oz to the scales with just one carp to add to a good net of roach and skimmers taken on maggot.
Second place went to Shaun Waterfall with 22lb 14oz followed by Danny Carlton on 7lb 3oz.
There was a much better attendance for the Sunday Open, again fished on the Beastie Pool.
Fishery expert Nigel Baxter put a net of skimmers and roach to the scales taken on maggot close in to run out a comfortable winner with 27lb 7oz.
Runner-up with 21lb 5oz was Tony McGregor, then came Andy Leathers with 19lb 13oz.
JVAC decided to fish both the Four Island and Six Island Pools for their weekend match, which was a wise decision as neither produced a great result despite some very respectable leading weights.
Topping the field on Four Islands was Alan Warren on peg six. He caught on the pole with pellet steadily all day for 45lb 8oz.
Runner-up from peg three was Jay Richardson, who caught on red maggot putting 32lb 8oz to the scales.
Over on Six Islands it was Barry Gilson leading the way. He was on peg 13 and caught on the pole with maggot and cat meat for 36lb 14oz.
Then came Andy Kelk, who fished red maggot for 25lb 8oz from peg eight.
Looking at the Ramsey AS result sheet that came in from the usually prolific Factory Bank, it just shows you how badly the latest round of frosts affected our sport over the past week.
Andrew Wilding took the honours with a modest 6lb 4oz of small fish taken on bread.
Andrew Kilby came second putting 6lb 1oz to the scales followed by Frank Bevilacqua on 5lb 10 oz and Mick Arling with 5lb 5 oz.
It was also tough going on the Whittlesey Dyke.
Deeping rod Mike Smith won this one from the peg next to the railway bridge with a net of perch weighing 3lb.
From the far end peg beyond the rail bridge John Taylor still managed to get bites and catching 120 small roach and perch on the pole he put 2lb 13oz to the scales to take second place.
On the other side of the rail bridge Mick Arling caught near to 100 fish, again small roach and perch, to finish with 2lb 6oz.
The tiny Raveley Drain was the surprise choice of venue for round three of the Stanjay Series.
Margin ice was a problem for most of the field and had to be cleared, but once that job was done it did fish quite well.
It turned out to be a hard but fair match with only small fish showing apart from the odd rudd, perch and skimmer to 6oz.
Out in front with 8lb 10oz was Anthony Watling. He drew half way between the bridge and sluice gate and took a net of small roach on the whip with groundbait and pinkie.
Runner-up was Lindsay Naylor, who caught on a long whip line weighing in 8lb 5oz.
There was a tie for third place between the in-form Rob Wright from March and Dave Rawlings with 8lb 4oz.

Perform 5 rounds of 7 sets (complexes) of the following sequence:
Power Clean
Front Squat
Push Press
Back Squat
Push Press
- Bar must touch the ground each sequence but cannot rest on the ground or it terminates the set.
- Goal is to increase loads each round to complete "The Bear" with max load.
- Rest as needed between sets.
- No re-grip allowed.
- You must power clean the bar to full standing position before squatting the weight. (Deadlift to Hang Power Clean) is allowed.
Going back and looking at the post of the time that six of you did this back in July was cool. Seeing everyone's pic and reading about Amanda made me nostalgic for training in the garage. Almost. Today was the Bear re-match for Sherry and Amanda and they both PR'd it. Too bad the others didn't make it in today. Sherry went from 60# max in July to 73# today. Amanda went from 35# to 50#. That's improvement in strength, technique and conditioning. The "Bear" tests you mentally as well as physically. Even though you rest between the rounds, the sets of 7 sequences make you doubt you can finish without dropping the bar and keep adding weight. It's uncomfortable and grueling. Getting through it is truly a "bear". What did you think?

DUBAI: India and the UAE have agreed to strengthen their bilateral trade and investment ties as top industry leaders from both countries met at a conference held here.
Speaking at the second India-UAE conference on globalisation yesterday, UAE's Cabinet Member and Minister of Culture and Knowledge Development Sheikh Nahyan bin Mubarak Al Nahyan expressed optimism about the growth of trade and investment between India and the UAE and favoured greater international cooperation and exchange to help the global economy.
Nahyan also praised All India Management Association (AIMA), organisers of the one-day conference, for creating a platform to promote mutual understanding and cooperation between policy and business leaders of the two countries, a statement said.
India's ambassador to the UAE Navdeep Singh Suri also addressed the conference and highlighted the growing trade and investment ties between the two countries.
Suri said the frequent interactions between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan were far-reaching developments in the relationship between the two countries.
Organisers of the event said the conference included focused sessions on some key areas of mutual interest and cooperation between India and the UAE.
They said that the UAE was already the largest trading partner of India in West Asia and the two countries have now decided to form a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership.
More than 20 agreements have been signed between the two countries in the past two years for collaboration in diverse areas including infrastructure, renewable energy, defence production, joint military exercises, maritime security, counter-terrorism, space technologies, cyber security, agriculture and human traffic prevention, they said.
UAE's commitment to invest USD 75 billion in Indian infrastructure is of particular significance to the growing relationship, they added.
India sources a substantial part of its oil requirement from the the UAE and the gulf country is helping it build its oil reserve. The Abu Dhabi National Oil Company has agreed to store oil at India's reserve storage.

Temple of the Monolith video update (better quality on https://vimeo.com/249253008) #gamedev https://mastodon.social/media/o4aveolR61OJA6RjNqQ
@saidrona looks great! The only thing that slightly irks me is the very rigid camera, but I assume you wanna smooth out gameplay first?
Thank you for your feedback.
I've experimented with camera smoothing a little. After playing with it for some time, I don't really think it works right with the pace of the game.
So I don't think I'm going to use camera smoothing. I'll probably leave an option to turn it on somewhere in the config file though (no promises).
@fika @saidrona
Thanks for the demonstration! Yeah, getting the camera to feel right is a most finicky task. I wouldn't give up on it entirely, though; the camera slightly lagging behind the short-distance-teleportation looks great, in my opinion!
Another camera thing I really like in general is centering the camera on an arbitrary point between player character and current/nearest target. Also slight screen shake for high damage hits- the options are endless 😍
@jlemberg @saidrona Added screen shake when enemy scores a crit. Video: https://mastodon.art/media/Fqf4ftdnXYtlW0PAC70

I'm close to completing Meier's "Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner" (would have whipped through these earlier, but my kids don't seem to adhere to their bedtime schedule very well), and once I do, I'll be sure to share my thoughts on the compilation. So far, it's been a great read - full report soon on the way.
In addition to Meier's stories, I'm also prepping for Gridiron Belles, a fun look at the Southeastern Conference and a guide for women who are novices to the sport of football.
My son's teacher lent me Sarah's Key, which recently was made into a film starring Kristin Scott Thomas. I've barely started it (Yes, I multi-task with a few books at a time; I know, as a friend in college used to say, "That ain't right."), and I've heard great things about it, but the subject matter is already tough to take. A little too Sophie's Choice and I can't handle that, so we'll see where how far I get. If you've read it and liked it, please let me know.
So, dear friends, what are you reading these days? Anything you would recommend? Please share!

Express Oil Change & Tire Engineers Franchising
It is very common for franchise candidates to form partnerships in order to attain the resources necessary to launch and operate the business. In some cases, a franchisee candidate who intends on working the business day to day as the "operator" needs additional capital to start the business and so he or she joins up with a partner who can help bring financial strength to the project.
In other cases, an investor with significant financial resources cannot leave what they are doing in order to operate the business on a daily basis, and so they look for an operating partner to team up with to run the business. In either situation, it is the sum total of the liquid capital and net worth of the partnership as a whole that we look at when approving a franchisee or franchisee partnership.

A little bit about myself! I am 28 years old and am married with three kids. I (obviously) enjoy cooking and trying new foods. I am a wife and a mother and a stay at home mom. Pretty standard. My dream growing up was to be a writer and a teacher. I'm somewhat of both of those things now! I got engaged in February of my senior year of high school and married just a couple of months after I graduated. Soon afterward, I found out I was pregnant with our first child and things haven't really slowed down since! I absolutely love being a mom (something I never really thought I'd say as a teenager ha ha) and take this incredibly sacred gift seriously!
Hubs. I have been married for 10 years to my dashing husband. He is currently a Chiropractor/Chiropractic business owner and a financial business owner (yes, he's busy). He loves food and Harry Potter as much as I do. He makes a lot of dad jokes, and he lies to our kids SO much that when they merely ask the time and he answers correctly, they immediately just ask me. Years of "it's 30:00 o'clock" type answers will do that to you ;). He is freakishly smart and every time we around each other I have a blast because he is so much fun and is a great conversationalist!
Our oldest child is 9 years old. She's a Harry Potter geek like us and has finished all of the books, including the screenplay (which I haven't read yet!). She is pretty girly, but is a self proclaimed "tom boy." A tom boy that really loves to sing. She also loves to BAKE. I wish I could say it was me that prompted her to get into it, but no. It was Kids Baking Championship on the Food Network. Once she saw that, she was all in. Check out her brownies she makes right here!
Up next is our (almost) 6 year old daughter. This girl has been crazy from the day she was born. And I love it. Most days ;). She is so full of life and empathetic beyond belief. She's very impulsive, silly and loves attention. She also really likes baking, but more just because she gets time with her sister. She is really more into cooking and proudly told me how she chopped up a bunch of lettuce with "the sharp knife" while I was in the shower the other day. She wants all the answers right now and wants to do everything right now!
Topping things off with our mama obsessed son who turns two soon. He just wants mom. That's it. Just kidding, but a lot of days that's exactly how it feels! He loves Clifford the Big Red Dog, cars, and his stuffed cow, Moo-Moo. He loves to dance down the hallway to his room singing "NIGHT. NIGHT. TT-TT-TT!" on his way to his nap or bed. He is insistent on everyone having a prayer pillow to sit on for prayers and gives us his very best art skills all over the walls with mysterious crayons and markers I can never seem to find.
We're a tight family that loves the outdoors, enjoys living in hicktown USA and know that real rain smells like dirt. And we love it.
I spent three years living in Portland, Oregon, the foodie capital of the universe (slightly exaggerated) and currently living out in the middle of no where Idaho. I am a mother to my two beautiful daughters with the man of my dreams! I am a stay-at-home mom while my husband snaps everyone's back in half all day as a Chiropractor. :)
Cooking has not always been a passion of mine! I didn't grow up trying too many new foods or venturing outside of my foodie comfort zone, and, if I'm being honest, I was your typical picky eater. Right after I'd gotten married and was living in Salt Lake City, Utah, I was making the same small handful of meals, or we'd eat out. It didn't help that my husband was the Culinary Assistant at The Olive Garden at the time and brought home dinner most nights. I was just straight up not a brain in the kitchen!
It wasn't too long before I discovered how little knowledge I had of basic foods! We're talking pineapples (didn't try my first pineapple until I was 22 years old), red peppers (had not taken a single bite of one until my twenties, either) and basically any other typical food you can imagine. Suddenly everything seemed interesting to me and I wanted to mix things together and try new flavors and LEARN.
I knew I'd done a complete 180 when I was on a formal dinner cruise along the Willamette River. They had a fancy buffet and a zillion hors d'oeuvres. I had been eating things and just shoving things in my mouth without even knowing what any of it was, yet I could piece together the flavors and build up a pretty good guess! Somewhere along the way I'd subconsciously developed some type of mantra of, "don't ask, just eat." I'd allowed myself true opportunities to try and enjoy new foods without being plagued by thoughts of, "oooooh...it has what in it? Yeah, I don't like that..not trying it," and it had changed my life.
Now here I am. I am a firm believer in the idea that if you follow a recipe and use the ingredients called for, you can cook anything! No matter what. Later on down the road you can figure out what can sub for what, what you can add in, what to stay about 1,000ft away from, etc., but I always try out a new recipe exactly how it says the first time. After that, it's fair game!

Oh my gracious. I owe more than a few of you return emails and actual pen to paper thank you notes and letters, but meanwhile, I want to tell you about my day. Do you remember that nightmare I had about leaving a child on the bus? Something all too similar happened on our 94 today in real life.
Today is dark and wet. A greyness hangs over the city, making everything clouded over, fuzzy, a bit lost. Oxford Street was jammed. Tourists, shoppers, workers, strollers, brollies, rain. Our bus crowded, too.
So I didn't take much notice of the two women with children getting on ahead of Baby Sister and me as we made our way home. People shuffled to their seats and these two Italian tourists were sorting their fares, a buggy, packages, handbags, coats, umbrellas, small hands. We pulled away from the stop when they started talking very frantically to each other in rapid-fire, gesticulating Italian. Panicked searching and tense conversation ensued. Trying to alert the driver, looking upstairs, and in every seat on the bus. Something precious was clearly, desperately missing. Everyone was in high alert and maybe even more, wishing we could speak their language.
It soon became obvious the young mother was missing a child.
It became sickeningly silent for a moment. The driver hadn't understand the chaos, the bus rounded yet another corner and we cruised to the next stop. Clutching Baby Sister on my hip, I hopped off with the crying mother who was pushing a woefully empty stroller back the way we'd come. Hopped off so quickly that a kind passenger got off with us and handed me Baby Sister's school bag (I'd left it on our seat in my rush to comfort this mother!). I was a link in a chain of helping hands.
The mom, who turns out does speak English, was grateful for the company and confused about where we were now. Which way back? Where to go? This way, I encouraged, reaching out to her.
As we raced the agonizing blocks near where she'd last seen her girl, she recounted that the two women had been juggling children back and forth all morning. She confessed that she couldn't be sure if her daughter was in a shop or at the bus stop when they'd been all together last. And that her girl didn't speak English.
I tried to keep her chatting as we sped up more but I could see devastation and fear building in her eyes and her heart beginning to break. I assured her that corner of London is filled with lots of kind people and that I was quite sure her girl was fine. But I blessed myself in prayer when she wasn't looking. What I was thinking is how truly dicey that area can be, how there I steel myself against the daytime drunks, the vagrants, people who are disordered, those up to no good. I prayed while I was thinking of a girl gone missing from outside her rural home in minutes last week.
As we finally got to Oxford Street, I tried to catch every shop employee's eye knowing that if they were looking for a mother missing a girl they'd be right out front. Everyone seemed oblivious to the emergency. Scanning the block ahead for the tiny red coat she was to be wearing, I saw nothing but crowds of grey. No one seemed little today. Just hulking, threatening, big.
And then there she sat. Tiny. Alone and terribly wide eyed. Her mother raced to her and held her too hard.
There but for the grace of God go I. There we all go, right?
Here's hoping, though that if any of us are ever taken to that edge of fear that we won't go alone, that we'll have some company. I feel sure that's why despite not getting through my long list of seemingly important "to dos" this morning and thinking how woefully behind I would be all afternoon, I changed from our normal routine today when I got Baby Sister from school.
We were meant to be there. Not to find someone, but to hold the searcher's hand, to hug her tight.
I don't think it was an accident that I'd set aside my priorities and treated Baby Sister to a snack on our way home. Then not wanting to wait in the rain, we took a different bus and got off at another stop to connect to ours. There we missed the first bus, and got onto the second one that came. The very one missing one precious girl. No fewer than 5 twists and turns in our normal routine that brought us there. And then.
All's well that ends well. Keep your school bags close and your smalls closer. I know I'm going to.

My possible explanation for gravity:
Gravity is caused by the expansion of space imparting a force on matter. Space naturally expands; even the space contained within a massive body such as Earth or an atom is expanding. When the space attempts to expand into the area occupied by matter, it is unable to do so but I believe it imparts a force on that matter that we call gravity. If this is true it would negate the necessity for gravitons or gravity waves which, for which IIRC no direct evidence has been found.
I also think that space would resist its own expansion so that the force of gravity would actually be related to the amount of space in any massive body. Imagine the Earth compared to a black hole. There is no space in a black hole (or very little) while there is a lot of space in the Earth in between molecules and within atoms, etc. Therefore a black hole's gravity is near the maximum possible gravity possible in our universe (no space [edited] is present.)
I'm no mathematician or formally educated scientist but I am familiar with the properties of the universe and most physics and logically, it seems that all the formulas currently in place for gravity would still be valid. Gravity would depend on what I call "spacial density" as opposed to the amount of matter but it would still work similarly if not exactly the same as what we observe now.
I am curious, mathematics-wise, how this would work on a galactic scale with the issues relating to spiral galaxies that only the existence of dark matter can resolve (i.e. spiral galaxies are spinning too fast to maintain their shape unless dark matter exists.)
I would very much like to hear other opinions and comments about this alternate idea for gravity.
Thank you for your time.

Headline homelessness figures are hiding a disturbing picture of increasing suffering, according to analysis from the Chartered Institute of Housing (CIH).
Although homelessness numbers have remained fairly stable over the past year, the numbers of people sleeping rough and living in temporary accommodation have both increased, as well as the number of repossessions by landlords. And the number of households being placed in temporary accommodation outside their local authority area has jumped by more than a third.
The analysis comes from CIH's UK Housing Review (UKHR) Briefing – an update to the UKHR 2014, which brings together evidence from a range of sources to assess the health of the UK's housing system.
The briefing, which is being launched at Housing 2014, CIH's annual conference and exhibition in Manchester, also includes updates on welfare reform, house prices, the mortgage market, affordable house building, the private rented sector and right to buy.
According to the latest government figures released last week (19 June), 52,260 people were accepted as homeless during the 2013/14 financial year, down three per cent from 2012/13.
But 58,590 households were in temporary accommodation on 31 March 2014, six per cent higher than at the same date in 2013. The number of households in temporary accommodation in another local authority district rose by 36 per cent, from 9,130 to 12,430.
As the review makes clear, the pressures leading to homelessness are not letting up. Repossession claims by landlords reached their highest level (47,220) in more than a decade in the first quarter of 2014. Two-thirds of repossession claims are by social landlords, suggesting increased levels of action to tackle rent arrears. This could be down to tougher sanctions on claimants of jobseeker's allowance, which reached a peak of 241,469 cases in the third quarter of 2013 and fell only slightly in the fourth quarter to 239,587. If people lose their jobseeker's allowance for three months, they also lose their housing benefit and may well lose their house.
The latest count of people sleeping rough across England showed that in Autumn 2013 there had been a five per cent increase in numbers, to 2,414, following on from a six per cent increase the previous year. Broadway's 'CHAIN' data, restricted to London but measuring levels of rough sleeping throughout the year not just as a one-off count, showed 2,029 people sleeping rough in January-March 2014, an eight per cent increase on the same period last year. Numbers of those new to sleeping rough had risen by 12 per cent
CIH chief executive Grainia Long said: "The slight fall in statutory homelessness is of course welcome, but that headline figure hides a disturbing picture of suffering for increasing numbers of vulnerable people. It is extremely worrying to see increases in the number of people living in unsuitable temporary accommodation – in many cases outside their local community – and being forced to sleep on the streets."
The UK Housing Review 2014 is sponsored by Affinity Sutton, Broadland, Crisis, HouseMark, L&Q, the Northern Ireland Housing Executive, Orbit Housing Group, the Scottish Government and the Welsh Government.
Orbit chief executive Paul Tennant said: "The evidence that we are facing a housing crisis in this country is stronger than ever. We need a long-term housing strategy which recognises housing as a key pillar of this country's social & economic infrastructure, backed by investment in a range of housing which is affordable, including intermediate products like shared ownership. Let's not forget, the impact of this crisis is real and on thousands of people's lives."

I've been reading 'Big Magic' by Elizabeth Gilbert. It's a book about living a creative life. Something that I have neglected over the past three years or so.
I could put it down to the pressure of a more senior role, additional responsibilities at home, low mood or just slowing down (I'm at a difficult age, but aren't we all?). The truth is I haven't recently enjoyed good creative pastimes. It's been too long.
Gilbert writes about just doing what you can. And what you want to do. Right now I'm not sure, so I looked for the closest things to hand and found my tile set and colouring pencils.
For now I'm going to indulge myself with some low effort and basic art. I mean really basic. I was advised not to take art in my junior school and I can't say that my drawing skills have improved since…
But what do I do with the finished article? Pin it on the wall? Give it to a friend or family member?
Remember, I'm doing what I want. I don't feel the need to adorn my walls with my masterpieces. I don't want to witness the disappointment on the face of a loved one at the thought of yet another hand-made card.
I want to pass this onto a stranger. They can keep it for fun for as long as they like. They can pass it on. They can throw it in the bin. But they will see it. However briefly.
With this in mind my first tile (and possibly many more) will be left within the pages of a book in a charity shop.
I had a song playing in head at the time.
And here it is. In all it's childish glory:
"Ambition and love wearing boxing gloves and singing hearts and flowers" Somewhere In My Heart (Aztec Camera)
For now this will do. I can return to the dressmaking, silk painting, piano playing, song writing, etc soon enough.
I've added my wordpress page link since taking the photos. If you find it, please let me know.

We're thankful the Dow closed over 8,000 this week -- just barely. Even Yahoo (YHOO) is well below $10, with the resignation of Jerry Yang failing to help YHOO buck everything going south. Of course, there's a good argument to be made that at least some stocks like Apple (AAPL) are ridiculously cheap right now.
So what else is going on? Things you may have missed:
- So in a collapsing market, who's well positioned? Microsoft (MSFT), who's sitting on a mountain of cash while everyone else scrambles. The company poached Yahoo (YHOO) search honcho Sean Suchter.
- We got a a giggle from this: Google (GOOG) advertised its maps now feature subway directions. One problem: the subway directions are completely wrong.
- Sirius XM hit 14 cents? Doesn't mean it's cheap -- it can certainly go to zero.
- PC Magazine, once 600 pages thick and full of ads, is going out of print.
- The new World of Warcraft came out, and it's as big as everyone thought: the queues to play were running two hours long.
- Not as popular as WoW: Google's Lively, headed for the grave.

'Cowboy' Donald Cerrone is ready to ride into battle again, as the UFC has announced he will face off against Myles Jury in Boston.
The long rumoured match-up was finally confirmed for UFC Fight Night on FOX Sports 1, by FOXSports.com and is set to be the co-main event of the evening.
It will feature underneath Conor McGregor's clash with Dennis Siver and is set to follow FOX's coverage of the NFL's NFC Championship game.
Bringing the hype-wagon to Boston
For Cerrone, a win over Jury would be the next step towards a title shot and that's something fans would be clamouring for.
Current UFC Lightweight champion, Anthony Pettis hasn't fought since he beat Benson Henderson for the title last August, while Cerrone has won five straight fights during that time.
Anderson Silva signs blockbuster new UFC deal
Jose Aldo & Chad Mendes go the distance in featherweight
Conor McGregor given Boston headline slot
A win over former Bellator champion, Eddie Alvarez at UFC 178 has seen Cerrone rise to #4 in the rankings and on the verge of a title shot.
Only Khabib Nurmagomedov or Rafael dos Anjos could leapfrog him now, but if Pettis gets hurt again, a fight between two of the three would be a possible Interim title match.
Stacking the card already
With McGregor on the card as well, it will only have fans more hyped up for the card, with McGregor riding a huge wave of hype towards a likely showdown with Jose Aldo.
It's clear that the UFC are treating this as one of the highlights of their calendar, with the Boston market being a huge boom area.
There's not much left for the UFC to market to in the US but the Boston market is one of the two left to conquer - the other being New York.
McGregor excited the fans last time out and he's likely to beat Siver with ease, so the UFC are giving fans something a bit closer in Cerrone-Jury.
Jury is 15-0 in his career and recently became the first man to KO Japanese legend, Takanori Gomi, which only adds to his credentials and makes it a tough challenge for Cerrone's climb to the top.

Eggs! Everywhere! It's Easter weekend and egg hunts are happening all over our community - in backyards, at churches and at parks.
Kids (and adults, if we're honest) love to hunt for eggs. The best part of the egg hunt is the end when you gather your loot, sit down somewhere and begin to pop them open to discover the surprise inside each one. Who doesn't love a surprise?
That very first Easter morning held within it a surprise as well. In Matthew's Gospel, three women are traveling to the tomb where Jesus' body lay after he was crucified. They were going to anoint his body with oils and spices, as was the custom for the first few days following death.
They had likely done this the previous two days, and now on the third day they are going again to perform this ritual. But this time when they arrive at the tomb, the stone has been rolled away, and when they go inside an angel reveals to them that Jesus is no longer in the tomb, but has risen from the dead and is alive.
This wasn't what they expected. It was a surprise. It was the kind of surprise that would forever alter their lives and all of history.
As we celebrate Easter weekend with egg hunts, family gatherings and church services, let's anticipate a surprise. God is all about showing up and surprising people. He did it that first Easter morning, and he still does it today. This weekend, may we all experience the Easter surprise that is Jesus.

Two all-new MiEV Evolution II all-electric race cars to take on legendary race
Tokyo, May 16, 2013 - Mitsubishi Motors Corporation (MMC) will compete in the 2013 edition of the world-famous Pikes Peak International Hill Climb*1 (Pikes Peak, held from June 25 to June 30) with the MiEV Evolution II all-electric prototype. With the upgraded MiEV Evolution II, MMC aims for overall first place. MMC's team will consist of two of the new all-electric four-wheel drive (4WD) race cars.
MMC will utilise the data and technical knowhow garnered through its participation in the event in its @earth TECHNOLOGY*2 next-generation advanced technology R&D program for eventual use in future production vehicles.
MMC entered the Pikes Peak competition for the first time last year with the i-MiEV Evolution all-electric prototype, finishing second in the Electric Division. Participation in the event brought a rich harvest in terms of vehicle speed, acceleration and other on-road data, as well as drive battery consumption, motor temperature and other data and knowhow critical to electric vehicle development.
Like last year's i-MiEV Evolution, the MiEV Evolution II uses parts used in production vehicles combined with a high-capacity battery and high-output motors both specially designed by MMC's suppliers. Based on experience gained from last year's race, MMC added S-AWC (Super All-Wheel Control) integrated vehicle dynamics control system to a two-front/two-rear four-motor drivetrain for increased handling and control in the MiEV Evolution II. These, together with a specially-designed body that provides reduced weight and improved aerodynamics, has resulted in a significant improvement in driving dynamics.
One MiEV Evolution II will be driven by two-time Dakar Rally overall champion Hiroshi Masuoka, who piloted the i-MiEV Evolution to second place honors in the Electric Class last year and also act as Captain of the MMC team. The second MiEV Evolution II will be piloted by Greg Tracy, six-time Pikes Peak motorcycle champion.
In addition, Mitsubishi Motors North America (MMC's United States subsidiary) is participating as Presenting Sponsor for this year's race and MMC's new Outlander – recently awarded Japan's JNCAP Five Star Award as well as JNCAP First Prize for outstanding safety performance*3 – will be this year's "Official Safety Vehicle" for the world-famous race.
*1: Held annually in Colorado, United States, the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb is an annual automobile and motorcycle hill climb to the 4,300 meter summit of Pikes Peak in Colorado with entrants covering an elevation difference of almost 1,500 meters. First run in 1916, the hill climb celebrates its 91st Running this year making it the second oldest motor sport race in the United States after the Indianapolis 500. Also known as The Race to the Clouds, atmospheric pressure, temperature, weather and other conditions vary significantly between the start and finish and this requires optimum tuning to ensure the vehicles produce their maximum performance all the way up. www.ppihc.com/
*2: MMC's tagline for a raft of next-generation advanced technologies which aim to contribute to environmental responsibility and to deliver driving pleasure as well as reassuring safety.

3. About the MiEV Evolution II
The MiEV Evolution II is an all-new all-electric racecar designed with data and knowhow gained from last year's Pikes Peak race, based on parts from production electric vehicles including the i-MiEV. It carries an array of advanced technologies improved from last year's i-MiEV Evolution packed into a specially-designed lightweight and aerodynamic body, including a high-capacity battery and four high-output electric motors for improved motive performance in addition to a pipe-frame chassis and a carbon cowl for reduced weight and improved aerodynamics.
Superior motive performance, handling, and stability are made possible in the MiEV Evolution II with:
|Length x Width x Height (mm)
|4,870 x 1,900 x 1,390
(Made by Meidensha)
|4 (2 front, 2 rear)

4. Driver Profiles
1. Hiroshi Masuoka (Product Strategy Office, Mitsubishi Motors Corporation)
Hiroshi Masuoka began his Dakar Rally campaign in 1987 and became the first Japanese driver to post consecutive overall victories in the event when he won in 2002 and 2003.
Currently Masuoka works at Mitsubishi Motors where his many duties include vehicle development, the training of company test drivers and the running of test drive sessions and other events both in Japan and overseas.
Masuoka had the following to say before the event: "We are able to tackle Pikes Peak a second time thanks to the support of our many partner companies. We were able to come up with a new and improved MiEV Evolution II based on the precious data and knowhow we gained from last year's race. We welcome Greg Tracy as our teammate. With his wealth of motorsport experience, we will do our all for a one-two finish. Thank you for your continued support!"
2. Greg Tracy, professional driver
Six-time Pikes Peak overall motorcycle champion, Greg placed second overall in motorcycles in 2012. Greg brings a wealth of racing experience not only in motorcycles but four-wheeled vehicles as well and is also a stunt driver. Greg brings high racing skills in four-wheeled vehicles and knows the Pikes Peak course inside and out.
Greg commented "I'm excited to compete here in the MiEV Evolution II. I will do my best, along with my teammates to make an electric vehicle the champ for the first time ever."

Still as part of my next project, and still wanting to move reusable code into autonomous projects, I wrote simplebox, a lightbox-like library: a javascript library to display modal elements in a web page.
There already exist a lot of modal javascript libraries, but I was looking for one that:
- worked with prototype
- does not need script.aculo.us
- works for random html content (not only images)
- was opensource
So, I wrote my own. You can see a basic example or check code at github.

The only way for the restaurant industry to progress forward in the digital age is to scrap the old methods of presenting, sharing, distributing and working with the detailed information about a restaurant (including, and probably most importantly, all information about their menus) and adopt a new, standardized, centralized way. This is where OpenMenu fits in perfectly. We are about providing open standards for the restaurant industry to create common languages for the information that means the most to restaurants. Having a common standard means not only the restaurant can use this to power their online presence but companies can easily share the restaurants information amongst themselves. Our first standard is the OpenMenu Format - a single, consistent specification to fully and wholly describe a restaurant and its menu items. This is the first standard of its kind and we are happy to be leading the industry with our restaurant based standards and systems. We will continue developing the OpenMenu Format and hope to be releasing new standards for the benefit of the restaurant industry in the near future.
- Creating a standard for restaurant menus where no standard exists
- Menu and restaurant information stay in the control of the restaurant
- One centralized location for all restaurant menus
- Open access to menus and restaurant information given to companies/developers
- One menu to maintain, in one location, shared everywhere
All restaurants should visit OpenMenu.com to get your restaurant onto the OpenMenu Platform. Getting an account is free, adding your menu is easy.
- No cost for restaurants to manage one restaurant
- Manage multiple restaurants in a single account for a low yearly fee
Our Specifications
- No licensing fees for use of the OpenMenu Format standard
- Can be incorporated freely into any code, database, application, website, component (or similar). License or attribution to OpenMenu is not required
- No cost for use or access
- Access to OpenMenus are publically available at all times
- Attribution to OpenMenu is required
- Enterprise level access removes attribution requirement. Costing is on a case-by-case basis dependant upon usage
- Can use and render any information obtained in an OpenMenu
- Detailed information can be located in our standard Terms of Service
OpenMenu API
- Premium accounts get 750 calls/day and Enterprise access gets custom daily limits based requirements (API requests that do not meet the requirements may be approved and limited to 25 or 100 calls/day)
- Under Premium accounts attribution to OpenMenu is required where data is obtained from an OpenMenu or API
- Can use and render any information obtained
- Detailed information can be located in our API Terms of Service

Download Cydia for iOS 7 and 8 and how to Install Cydia Download
Cydia is your door to a whole world of free apps, games and unique themes for your iPhone, iPad and even iPod Touches. Free from the limits that Apple put on your device.
This is all available through simply and quickly jailbreaking your phone, and installing an app much like the Apple Store. Word of warning though as Apple issues upgrades to their iOS operating systems then new jailbreaks have to be released. If you are on a latest update then you may have to wait a little longer to access the delights of Cydia.
What is Jailbreaking?
Apple has put limitations on your phone to limit your access to key files and folders. If you have a PC then you will be familiar with how you can go into any system folder and change files and settings. This can be harmful to your computer if you are in experianced. To prevent this happening in iOS apple locks these files. A jailbreak is simply giving the user access to all these files in a process called Rooting. For a jailbreak to be successful it has to access the root flies that make up your device. Word of warning though, power is nothing with out control. Your phone may be at more risk of viruses or attack as you have lowered some of the safeguards that Apple have put in place.
The other issue is that each new update by Apple introduces more controls, making the device harder to crack.
However the Jailbreak community is huge and some very smart people are looking to overcome the updates and issue new cracks. The challenge is not the jailbreak, its providing simple tools to allow a novice (like me!) to use it.
How to Jailbreak your Phone prior to installing Cydia:
If you want to jailbreak your phone quickly and easily I recommend using a low cost paid service. They do a fantastic job of providing a safe installation that won't end up 'bricking' your phone this site, the Jailbreak Shop does a great job for only a few $$$
Now you should have a jailbreak phone, next thing to do is to download and install Cydia. This is a simple process and can be done for all iOS based devices, ie phones, tablets and iPods.
How to Download and Install Cydia:
As more and more people install cydia (almost a million people a month search for cydia ddownloads the apps just get better and better. Lets look at how you can join them.
Easy Cydia Download and Installation with Pangu upto iOS8
If you didn't go for the paid service, maybe you are comfortable with using Pangu to install the jailbreak. Its a simple process, however you need to follow the instructions carefully.
The steps to using Pangu to Jailbreak your iphone are:
- Perfom a full Backup your iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPad Air, iPod Touch or any iOS 8 devices with iTunes. This is incase things go wrong with the Cydia installation.
- Download Pangu jailbreak tools online from the official website to either a Windows PC or Mac. Go ahead and install it like any other application
- Use your standard USB to Connect your iOS 8 device to your computer. Fire up Pangu it will automatically detect your device.
- Pangu will install new firmware on your device: Click restore to start the process.
- This is important you need to disable a few features before commencing the break:
- AutoLock: go to Settings -> General -> Auto-Lock. Select NEVER. This will disable the auto-lock.
- Pass Code: go to Settings -> General -> Passcode Lock. Select OFF.
- Find My iPod go to Settings -> iCloud -> Find My iPhone / Find My iPad / Find My iPod. Disable it.
- Finally If you are jailbreaking an iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 5S, iPhone 5, or iPhone 4S/4, set it to Airplane Mode.
Next step is to open Pangu again and click Start Jailbreak. This will open up the new world of a fresh Jailbreak device. To start with you will notice very little difference. To really make the most of the access you need to add in some apps. This is where you add in Cydia.
Download Cydia with Jailbreak Apps
Becuase the jailbreak community is so fast moving it doesn't matter if you are rolling iOS 5 or iOS 8. All operating systems can be broken, and all work with cydia. We went through the Pangu app earlier, however these downloads work the same way and include the Cydia installation bundled in with the Jailbreak. what could be easier?
Evasi0n –Evasi0n is one of the latest and also one of the most popular jailbreak tools today. Evasi0n was first released in February 2013 and now the evasi0n7 has just released for iOS 7.
Absinthe – Absinthe is one of the most frequent mentioned names when it comes to jailbreak. It was released on May 2012 and also receives a lot of good feedback.
Redsn0w – Redsn0w another easy and quick way to install Cydia
Seas0npass – Looking to also untether your phone? This seasonpass be the one for you!
JailbreakMe – an older method of breaking your phones, JailbreakMe still works, but newer apps (like those above) are more popular and supported.
Prefer to Download Cydia Manually?
The aforementioned programs are just a few popular way to download Cydia on an iOS device. There are other alternatives you can try too. However, if you prefer to download Cydia manually to your iOS device, these are a few easy steps to follow. You can also follow these steps to reinstall Cydia if you accidentally deleted the application.
- Make sure you have a jailbroken phone!
- This is where it gets a bit technical. You have to download the files and install them yourself so grab the most uptodate and stable Cydia DEB file. You can find a copy at this link I like to save it to the desktop of my Macbook, although it does work withe the PC.
- You need to transfer your files via SFTP software. I use cyberduck for the mac. Filezilla works well for Windows users.
- Copy the DEB file you downloaded and transfer it it to your iOS device. The target is /private/var/mobile/documents/.
- The DEB works as a zip file. Tap it and select Installer. This will expand the archive and install it. Simply tap Done to finish.
- Go to the home screen, and if you have done this correctly the Cydia Logo will be there for you ready to shop!
- So thats it. How to take a normal phone, jailbreak it install Cydia and start exploring just what the amazing Apple Hardware is capable of.
If you have any questions please log in an leave a comment. This site is packed with news information and tips on how to download and install Cydia for iOS 8.
Please feel free to explore!
