Currently enabled only for users whose Windows Live ID country is US or Canada.)
* Signature sounds Pick your own personal sound that your contacts will hear when you sign into Messenger (only works if you and your contacts have Messenger 9.0 Beta).
* Per contact sounds - Pick unique sounds for each of your contacts. You will be able to tell from across the room who is sending you a message.
* SPIM Reporting - If users send you unsolicited messages or invitations that you consider spam, you can block them and report them as spammers. If you report a user as a spammer, the messenger service will collect this data and put appropriate restrictions on the spammer accounts. All reports of spammers are kept confidential.
* Animated Display Pictures Show your moves! Messenger now supports animated .gif files as display pictures.
* Link in Personal Status Message URLs in Personal Status Messages are hot and clickable in the Messenger contact list.
* Behind the Scenes Changes Architectural changes that modified how things work but shouldnt have changed how things look

On the other hand New Zealand will seek for consolation win in the last ODI to at least take some moral advantage before the test series. The loss here will do more damage to their confidence, their bowler already feeling the heat in the on going ODI series and another beating will do lots of harm to their self confidence.
New Zealand have a young bowling unit except Daniel Vettori and their most experienced and ICC ranked third pace bowler Kyle Mills. Kyle Mills have gone for plenty in this series giving away 202 runs in his 29 overs. However he performed much better in Hamilton with the bowl conceding less than six an over. Except these two bowlers rest of the attack looks thin for the powerful Indian batting lineup.
Indians have nothing to worry with the series already in their bag. We may witness few changes in the playing XI for fifth and final one day international. Sachin Tendulkar who misses the last ODI's due to abdominal injury is yet to fully recover and is likely to be given rest. However Indian think tank doesn't want too many changes because a loss here will give New Zealand much needed win before the test series and Dhoni don't want this to be happening.
It will be very interesting to see how many sixes will be hit in the fifth ODI at Eden Park, Auckland, whose square boundaries are lot shorter than Christchurch. We have already seen in two matches where record number of sixes were blasted, one in twenty20I (24 sixes hit in a match) and during third ODI (31 sixes hit in a match).
Watch out for
B.McCullum and Jesse Ryder: In the last two one day international these two have provided entertaining knock at the top, giving New Zealand a great start on both occasions. Going by stats these two are very dangerous opening pair for New Zealanders.
Gautam Gambhir and Virendra Sehwag: An unbeaten 201 runs stand for the first wicket and what any one could expect better than this from these two. They took New Zealand attacks right from the word go and that's why even score of 281 looks so small. In the end India win comfortably. In the absence of Sachin Tendulkar from fifth ODI we may witness another great innings from both of them and if it happens then it will be nightmare for New Zealand bowlers.
Pitch and conditions
Ground at Eden Park, Auckland is similar to the one at Christchurch and will pitch is likely to be flat wickets so we can expect another high scoring game during fifth one day international. Team winning the toss would like to bat on the wicket and put unreachable target 350 plus on the board to put the chasing team under pressure. Rain is expected on Saturday, 14th of March so we might see another rain reduced game in the series.
Stats & Trivia
New Zealand teams have played 56 ODI's at Auckland with the loss in 29 matches and win in just 27. In last five ODI's they have won only two matches, one against the minnows Bangladesh.
Indian team have played six ODI matches here at Eden Park, Auckland winning three and losing three.
Teams batting second have more advantage in the day/night game going by stats. Out of 13 day/night encounters team batting second able to won on eight occasions.
Sachin Tendulkar would never forget this ground. From here he has started his career as opening batsman smashing 82 runs of just 49 balls.
Team News
Sachin Tendulkar who is yet to recover from abdominal injury is likely to be given rest from fifth ODI before all important test series. Zaheer Khan and H.Singh both have played all the six games on the tour so far and they are likely to be rested from last one day international. Irfan Pathan and P.Ojha is likely to be included in the final playing eleven. Dinesh Karthik might also get a chance to play in place of Rohit Sharma.
P.McGlashan who done quite remarkably well at Hamilton with bat and with B.McCullum yet to recover fully from thumb injury will play as wicket keeper batsman. New Zealand have bought all rounder Scott Styris as cover of Ewan Thompson, who bruised his left thumb at practice. If he will not fully fit before the game then Scott Styris get game.
Likely Playing XI for both teams (Match is schedule to begin at 06:30 AM India Time on 14th Of March)
India Squad: G.Gambhir, V.Sehwag, M.S.Dhoni (Captain & WK), Y.Singh, S.Raina, D.Karthik, Yusuf Pathan, I.Pathan, P.Kumar, P.Ojha, I.Sharma.
New Zealand Squad: Jesse Ryder, Brendon McCullum, Martin Guptill, Ross Taylor, Jacob Oram, P. McGlashan (WK), Scott Styris, Grant Elliott, Daniel Vettori (Captain), Kyle Mills, Iain O'Brien.

Resto la Banquise is located in Plateau Mont-Royal and is known to have very good poutine. It is open 24 hours, so University students can go any time to chow down on delicious poutine. They have tons of variations of poutine and are known to satisfy all the crazy poutine lovers.
CanuckGirl and I came here since we heard it was a must-try place for poutine. It's not the most healthiest, but at least there is a park nearby.
We had the option of sitting inside or on the patio. We chose the patio since it was a very nice day outside. In case it rains, there is a tent above the seating.
Obelix Poutine ($8.25) is topped with Montreal smoked meat, cheese, and gravy over a bed of fries. The cheese was slightly squeaky as it rubs against your molars when chewing. It was quite good, but I am not used to eating a large amount of fries.
Classic Poutine ($5.95) has cheese curds and gravy over a bed of fries. CanuckGirl also liked it and is the most authentic! She ate everything off her plate, so I am sure she enjoyed it.
Overall, it's a great place to get poutine. It's open 24 hours, so you can go anytime without worrying it will close. They also have other items on the menu, so you don't need to get poutine.
Words of Wisdom:
- Classic Poutine is always good
- Open all the time
- Indoor and outdoor seating
- Service is a bit spotty since they have so many customers

I had a great experience Tuesday night. My headlight has been out for weeks now, and though Q can usually fix these sort of things, he had a ton of trouble with it. Apparently my particular model of car is difficult. Shocking. I turned to the local tire/auto store, a few blocks away from our house. We'd been there a few times before and hadn't had a bad experience yet, which is hard to find in the big city. I called the shop and asked if someone there could put in the light if I brought my car up after work one day. He asked what kind of car it was, and I told him, and he chuckled. Seems they have trouble with that model also (much to Q's satisfaction). Sure, they'd do it, no problem.
I drove it up there and the familiar faces were working that night - a big old fat guy and the owner, who is always there, but was on his way out the door. There's something heartening about the owner of a shop actually working. The big man told me it'd be ten minutes or so until the mechanic could do it, that he was replacing a battery at the moment. No problem. I sat back to wait, watching Brian Williams on TV. Without warning the owner opened the door and stuck his hand out in my direction. I assumed he wanted the part, which I handed over. He did. He walked to my car and without saying a word changed out the bulb. The big guy went to check on him, and a few minutes later, walked in and said 'You're all done.' I asked how much I owed, and he smiled and said 'nothing'. I asked if he was sure, and he said he was. I thanked him twice then went outside to thank the owner, but he'd already driven off in his truck.
How great is that? How many places would do that? It's nice to have a place right around the corner that we can totally trust, especially a car place - that's hard to find in the city. That place, by the way, is Bayless Tire & Auto, on the corner of Morganford and Weber. Check them out if you live nearby.
That's my story for the week. Without that happening this week would be totally useless and crappy.

Reported on the ABC website:
Heatwaves on the rise as record lows decline
It is interesting that researcher Blair Trewin from the Australian Bureau of Meterology only went back 50 years. He neatly missed the heatwaves in the 1930's so his figures look more spectacular.
To quote from another ABC news item
The Weather Bureau says Adelaide's hottest day on record was 46.1 degrees in January 1939.
70 years of CO2 in the atmosphere – yet we cannot beat a 70 year old record.

Since the release of Another Mind, Hiromi Uehara's 2003 debut, the Japanese composer/ pianist has electrified audiences and critics on both hemispheres.
Her creative energy defies the conventional parameters of jazz and pushes musicianship and composition to unprecedented levels of complexity and sophistication.
Although a mesmerizing instrumentalist in her own right, Hiromi enlists the aid of two equally formidable players for this project, bassist Anthony Jackson (Paul Simon, The O'Jays, Steely Dan, Chick Corea) and drummer Simon Phillips (Toto, The Who, Judas Priest, David Gilmour, Jack Bruce).
This is a rare opportunity to hear this unmissable body of work performed by an international sensation that is Hiromi.

A completely new magnetic construction system, the KOR GEOMAG range allows children to construct endless combinations and enjoy different play experiences from one toy: construct, transform, disassemble and re-assemble.
KOR is a patented system of 26 magnetic building blocks that connect onto a hollow metal sphere tocreate the toy's core. By adding covers the toy takes the shape of a rugby ball, which can then be twisted, turned and flipped to generate endless shapes. Children are able to then transform the KOR into any fantasy character they imagine by adding their chosenaccessories that come with each set.
Aimed at children aged 5+, KOR GEOMAG launches with seven products across two lines: the cute 'Tazoo' and the tougher action-oriented 'Proteon'. The narrative behind KOR begins with a geomagnetic storm caused by the migration of KOR asteroids into the universe.
Two of these asteroids, which comprise the Tazoo line, land in the idyllic natural world. The sea-dwelling 'Beto' allows children to use eyes and fins to build a cute fish, whale, squid or even a shrimp. While 'Paco' who is found in the forest, has big red eyes and a long tail, and with a few twists can become anything from a frog, lizard, beetle to an owl.
The tougher 'Proteon' line enables children to create heroes and primordial beasts to pit against one another in epic battles after these KOR asteroids land in hostile environments where they have to fight for evolution. Each of the five Proteon building sets are reflective of different tough natural environments such as rocky, swampy and volcanic, with each character differentiated by their covers, unique masks and weapons. The Proteon KORs are available in three different forms of construction and character evolution - from the simple 'AKI', via "TAUREX" to the further evolved 'BLATTA', 'VULKRAM' and 'SWOMP'.
All KOR GEOMAG building sets across both theTazoo and Proteon lines are compatible, allowing imaginative kids even more creative freedom andgiving parents the best return on investment for purchases.
The set arrived and was opened with much excitement lots of nice chunky pieces and pictorial instructions which were easy to follow. The instructions show how to make a character but then show variations as well. We got 'paco' from the Tazoo line, he is a forest dwelling creature who can become a frog, a lizard, a beetle or an owl.
We decided to go for the creature shown on the front of the box and quickly got the swing of things, all the pieces fit around a central metal ball and then you build up with differing shapes, a gentle hand is needed as we learned when we pressed too hard and the whole lot broke apart! After a little bad temper we started again and soon got into the swing of things.
We Love...
- The colours are bright and cheerful
- Really fuels imaginative play
- Lots of variety in what you can create even with just one set, but as the sets are compatible the possibilities are endless.
- I love that theres a story behind the toys, It really fed the Golden Child's imagination
- Nice chunky pieces for little hands
- It would be nice to see more variey in the Tazoo line as there are only two types to collect, but there are plenty of options in the Proteon range
- With an RRP of £25 per set these are at the higher end of the toy scale for Monkeyfeet towers, but they are a great birthday or Christmas Gift and they are in my opinion just as entertaining and engaging as Lego or Playmobil (with bigger part, thankfully) and I think price wise you could pay much more for a large lego set.

It's time for Phase Two in Wargaming.net's plan to take over the world. Not the whole world, mind you, just the part of it that enjoys pitting 20th Century war machines against each other in multiplayer battles. With World of Tanks already a success, the company recently let players everywhere into the World of Warplanes open beta, revealing a slightly more frantic experience when the action takes to the skies.
If you've already played the land-based game, you'll have two big adjustments to make when making the transition to World of Warplanes. The first is getting used to the challenges of controlling a vehicle in three dimensions. The default mouse and keyboard combination works, but a joystick or gamepad would be even better – and the game supports both. Pulling off fancy aerial maneuvers is a lot of fun, but doing too many in succession can stall your engine, something you don't have to worry about in a tank.
Things also happen fast. Like Barry Allen fast. It's true that you can get blown away in the opening seconds of a World of Tanks match (I'm speaking from experience here), but at least there's the option to play it safe behind buildings or bushes. There's nowhere to hide in the air, so once you've made contact with the enemy, it's definitely on. Situational awareness and coordinating with teammates are still important, but quick reflexes and flying skills trump everything else.
Since planes can't capture bases, most matches end with the destruction of the entire opposing team. A game mechanic called superiority comes into play when one side has an edge in how many air and land targets it's destroyed, giving that team the equivalent of a base capture victory if the meter fills all the way up.
Four different aircraft types are currently featured: fighters, heavy fighters, attack aircraft and carrier-based fighters. The first two types are mostly suited for taking out other airplanes while the latter two specialize in eliminating ground targets, but there is some overlap. Progression is similar to World of Tanks, with experience used to research new modules that improve aircraft performance. Once all modules are unlocked, the next tier of planes opens up. Some of the tech trees seem a bit sparse in the beta – especially the Japanese, which only has a single branch that consists of nothing but fighters.
One of the other killer features, the ability to share gold and credits between both Wargaming titles, isn't turned on yet either. That should get plenty of veteran tank commanders to cross over at least a little bit, joining new players who just want to dogfight. Check back here at Gamezebo for a full review when World of Warplanes (which is going to need a catchy acronym since "WoW" is already taken) graduates from beta later this year.

The Wauconda/Island Lake Food Pantry was started in 1982 by a small group from an area church (Church of the Holy Apostles) and local volunteers who wanted to provide a safety net for families who "fall through the cracks" and assist local families in needy times. It stared in a vacant storefront in the Wauconda Shopping Center on Route 176, but grew and was relocated to the Community Activity Center on Main Street. In 2010, the Wauconda/Island Lake Food Pantry moved to its current location on Bonner Road, behind the Wauconda Township offices. It is an independent food pantry, and has no affiliation with government or other agencies.
The Food Pantry currently has over forty volunteers, and operates as a registered 501(c) organization. In 2018, the Wauconda/Island Lake Food Pantry served an average of 248 families per month and an average of 778 individuals in the Wauconda/Island Lake area.

HotType typography exhibit
Somewhere, I don't remember where, I saw info about a symposium being held at TCU - The Medium and Message of Typographic Design. It was a day of speakers and presentations and an accompanying exhibit of work by 55 national graphic designers. I contacted TCU about hosting the exhibit at UCO - they were agreeable and supportive. Bill Wallo was the Director of the Museum of Art at UCO (then called CSU); so he, his wife, and I made a weekend of it and drove to Ft. Worth for the Symposium. It was a great symposium. I even got Philip Meggs to autograph my copy of The History of Graphic Design textbook. While there, we verified the content and technical display specifications of the exhibit and finalized the details with the curators at TCU. Later, the pieces were packed up and shipped to the UCO Museum.
The title, HotType, is a play on the old method of pouring hot molten lead into molds to form the type characters and also that these designers and their work were popular, or hot, at that time. The colors enhanced the heat of the title. I mixed the two most popular typefaces, Helvetica and Times New Roman, even using both in the title. In the subhead, which was the original title of the symposium at TCU, I replaced the 'and' with an ampersand so the two lines of type would justify with more consistent letter and word spacing. The light grey bars provided some cool counter and contrast to the warm colors and helped to unify the columns of information. The postcard invitation/announcement (below) detailed the two typefaces and their designers.
TCU Symposium: spring 1990
Designed: summer 1990
Exhibit: July 9-31, 1990

We wanted to find out what it was like being a twin. We brainstormed all our questions the day before.
Seven sets of twins arrived in our classroom. It was interesting to interview them and to find out what being a twin was like. Some twins were identical and some were not. We discovered that the most annoying thing about being a twin is when people get their names mixed up. We shared some kai afterwards and had a nice morning together.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — A new report shows West Virginia's adult obesity rate, while still high, is not gaining.
"After years and years of watching the rates rise, it's been the first year that they've leveled off," said Laura Segal, director of public affairs for the Trust for America's Health, with co-authored the study with the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
Segal helped write this year's obesity report, titled "F As In Fat: How Obesity Threatens America's Future." It showed the nation's 30-year trend of rising obesity rates stalled in 2012, with rates remaining stable in every state except Arkansas.
For West Virginia, that means a continued obesity rate of 33.8 percent, which still ranks the Mountain State the fourth fattest in the United States. Only Louisiana, Mississippi and Arkansas have higher obesity rates.
Colorado showed the lowest obesity rate at 20.5 percent.
View the complete report here.
"Hopefully, some of the policies and different efforts that people are making will start paying off, and this might be the first sign of progress," said Segal.
The report shows obesity disparities based on income and education. More than 31 percent of adults 18 and older who earn less than $25,000 annually were obese, compared with 25.4 percent of those earning $50,000 or more. Adults 26 and up who did not graduate high school showed an obesity rate above 35 percent, compared with 21.3 percent of those who graduated from college or technical college.
How all 50 states and the District of Columbia stacked up, from most to least obese:
1. Louisiana (34.7%)
2. Mississippi (34.6%)
3. Arkansas (34.5%)
4. West Virginia (33.8%)
5. Alabama (33%)

Perhaps a basic cooking course in high school could teach nutrition. I think we used to call that home economics. And, you learned silly stuff like keeping a home budget too. Then, sometime in the 80's we decided it wasn't worth the money and time.
The obesity epidemic is a huge concern in our great state and it must be taken seriously. To decrease these rates, we must initially educate our youth on healthy and risky behaviors. Hopefully educators and community organizations can help to make a difference moving forward.
Unfortunately, it's cheaper to eat unhealthy, prepackaged foods than it is to buy fresh produce.
Not true, a head of lettuce $1-2 bag of carrots $1-2 Fruit anywhere from $1-2 per pound. Potatoes $1.50 to $4 a pound for a 5-10 pound bag. Chicken and beef can be added to any meal as well as rice and beans.
Fast food is not cheap but takes no effort to fix. When you are to lazy to work your to lazy to cook. When you are to lazy to cook you are to lazy to take care of your children. When the govt takes care of you by giving you everything you don't want to work. Its is easy to lay around the house (paid for with my tax money) and do nothing. Third and 4th generation familys have been on the dole and have no desire to ever get off. It is a way of life.
That's interesting that you say that considering that a package of tomato, zucchini, squash and cucumber seeds each cost a dollar and twenty five cents.
I used to have a 4 by 4 garden in my yard that contained these vegetables. Now the deer eat everything, and even an electric fence will not keep them out. They even eat the yucca in my yard that they didn't used to touch. My mom and dad is a long time farmer--i was raised on a vegetable "truck " farm and we all worked hard. we used to raise big strawberry patches and pumpkins until the large commercial farms and Walmart , etc, made them cheaper. The strawberries were never as good as in the 60's, because of climate change. Also, now the young people will not work like we used to. their parents give them too much like cars to ride to school. Waste of food stamps is not to be tolerated, but people forget the really starving kids with no shoes that were around way back when. And like the next person writes, we had to buy all necessary to maintain taxes, and I looked at Dad's income taxes one year, and the farm was not making anything. I quit that year because babysitting made more money. Go figure! We ate not much meat, but canned vegetables, and that cost, too. just my opinion. the food tasted better. but you can buy vegetables cheaper at the grocery store. I used to make my own clothes, and I nowcan get them at the salvation army cheaper, too. Think about it. And who is making money on the deer? Permits cost, etc. I busted my old truck twice on the critters. Could have spent that money on food! Think about it for a while! It's not that I agree with people selling their food stamps for drugs, cigarettes, and alcohol, or people esp. kids running around eating candy and pop and getting fat. I just do not want to see old people without food like I did in the early 70's--eating cat food--old men without black lung benefits, etc. and hungry kids, people losing their homes in this recession, and no jobs in poor areas. Bring back the poor houses? Kill off the old people? There has got to be a way to feed the people without corruption and waste!
While I agree, it still costs you money to fertilize, water, and take care of said seeds assuming you can keep the bugs/animals out for a decent haul to provide you with a week or two of veggies.
And that is also assuming that you have a place to plant a garden...
The obesity epidemic in WV most likely has a lot to do with cultural circumstances. For example, a lot of WV people associate being healthy with being a little thick in the hips. I started going to the gym and lost four pant sizes. My family was concerned that I had developed some type of cancer.
The article suggests that those with the lowest incomes and the lowest amount of formal education are most likely to be obese, whereas those with higher incomes and more formal education are less likely to be obese. It appears as if the food stamp program is successfully getting food to lower income people, as a lot of them are apparently not going hungry.
It would be interesting to see if there is a correlation between obesity rates and employment, particularly hours worked.
Amen to Rick. My comment ended up in the wrong place. let us not be greedy in any event.
nor lazy.
Didnt you know that those on foodstamps can only afford unhealthy food. You have to be rich to eat healthy food, at least thats the myth being thrown around.
What it really comes down to is if the person is to lazy to prepare and eat healthy food or be lazy and throw another frozen pizza in the oven.
Still about the fattest kids in camp with all the outdoor activity resources. Sad sad sad. People need to lay off the macdonalds and take a few walks.
I cook broccoli in the microwave for 5 minutes, chicken for 10, as opposed to my grandma who cooked fried chicken, gravy, biscuits, and a slew of vegetables with butter, not to mention plenty of pies and cakes for us that took hours, and the farm hands, The difference is that we worked the calories off. Laziness in this case is not the problem. Grandma and mom and every one else including 92 year old grandaddy worked in the garden, hoeing and carrying sacks on their backs. Watch your reasoning, please.

We have to. There is no way around it. If we feel like we are under duress we are moved to pray. When a great need arises, it's relatively easy to stop what we are doing and cry out to the Lord.
Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour. - 1 Peter 5:8 NLT
Motivation For Daily PrayerGod wants to walk with us. Switch it around and it's still true... He wants us, to walk with Him. There are good reasons for this. The first is His love for us. Secondly, He knows that when we are not keeping Him at the forefront of our minds we forget about Him. We forget who we are in Christ. We forget about our enemy.
Knowing God
- The Lord desires a close and personal relationship.
- Communication is vital.
- We have open access to the throne room of heaven.
Yes, I am the vine; you are the branches. Those who remain in me, and I in them, will produce much fruit. For apart from me you can do nothing. ... When you produce much fruit, you are my true disciples. This brings great glory to my Father. - John 15:5, 8 NLT
It's A Real War
- We are at war.
- The war is in the unseen world.
- It is focused on our mind.
For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places. - Ephesians 6:12 NLT
Overcome Indifference
- Ignoring the war does not stop the effects of the war.
- Prayer time is forged through love and sacrifice.
- The enemy makes slaves of the passive mind.
Don't you realize that you become the slave of whatever you choose to obey? You can be a slave to sin, which leads to death, or you can choose to obey God, which leads to righteous living. - Romans 6:16 NLT
So you see, faith by itself isn't enough. Unless it produces good deeds, it is dead and useless. - James 2:17 NLT
Engaging In Prayer
- Brings unstoppable force to bear on your behalf and others.
- Prayer is a progression of faith.
- The just shall live by faith.
Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths. - Proverbs 3:5-6 NKJV
Make Your ListPlease, start your prayer list right now. We need you in the battle.
Start with a short list. Make it something you can do everyday. It doesn't have to be a specific time, but it can be. The key is every single day.
A short list is a great place to start. Get one scripture for one purpose down in a notebook, OneNote, Evernote etc. and hit it everyday.
Prayer is the catalyst for walking in the Spirit.
Consistency is our catalyst for growth in the Lord.
"Pray always."
"Pray without ceasing."
"Cast all your cares on Me."
The Lord has said to us in many various and creative ways that our communication with Him is always on. He wants us to be aware of Him and engaging Him constantly.
Take Action!
Need an assist to kick off a fresh prayer list?
Let's start with this:
I love the Lord
My heart has heard you say, "Come and talk with me." And my heart responds, "LORD, I am coming." - Psalms 27:8 NLT
Teach me your ways, O lord, that I may live according to your truth! Grant me purity of heart, so that I may honor you. - Psalms 86:11 NLT
Consistency is key. Long prayer lists take time so start small and work your way up to the big stuff. There is an expertise to prayer that does not come in one sitting. It takes time to develop a relationship so get started right now. Add your own words, requests and scriptures as you go. Soon you will not be able to live without it.
Please, add your thoughts in the comment section.

nothing gold can stay
The leaves dazzled, fell, and now lay in a crunchy carpet all around. Naia keeps asking, "Am I still 4 years old mama even though it's not October anymore?" What an all at once freeing and frustrating feeling it must be to have zero concept of time or age.
We managed to rake up the piles of leaves from under the oak tree before the marina landscapers got to them, which meant the kids could rake and jump and throw to their heart's content.
Now the wind has kicked in, the temperatures have plunged, and the amber glow is laying in heaps beneath stark naked trees. The shrink wrap company is scheduled for this week. We're just a turkey dinner away from the start of winter. I am making my annual promise to myself to face the dark season with a brave heart and positive attitude.
And I am holding tight to the last bits of gold.

The literal meaning of Reiki is Universal Life Force Energy. In short – Reiki is Energy Healing through Intent.
When this Universal Life Force Energy is channelled by a practitioner in specific patterns, healing and harmony takes place. It is a process of restoring balance to bodies whose vital energy has become unbalanced. It brings deep relaxation, opens chakras, detoxing, increases energy vibration and channel universal Life energy, thus giving vitality. Reiki energy is a Life energy, most effective with maximum vibration and thought of almost divine in it's all encompassing quality of the world, positive and negative.
The laying of hands, Reiki therapy, is spiritual. The healer places hands above the recipient, with no touching, to offer energy and the recipient draws healing energy as needed. The energy field is manipulated rather than changed. The goal is to find the limitation, recognize the pattern and the root of it, and release thereafter. Reiki enables the recipient with enough energy to 'see' the limitations, patterns and roots – sometimes subconsciously.
The practitioner has the intent for healing to occur and the energy that follows support this intent. This energy goes where it is aimed for in the correct amount of energy that is needed.
The secret art of inviting happiness
The miraculous medicine of all diseases
Just for today, do not anger
Do not worry and be filled with gratitude
Devote yourself to your work. Be kind to people.
Every morning and evening, join your hands in prayer.
Pray these words to your heart
and chant these words with your mouth
Usui Reiki Treatment for the improvement of body and mind
~ Usui Mikao (founder of Reiki)
Weight Loss through Successful Dieting!
The truth?
A diet in which you eat less but healthier foods and exercise more is the best kind.
Ask yourself why do you need to diet? What do you need to change about your diet and how nutritious a diet should it be? Are you eating for comfort or are your taste buds your greatest enemies? Do you punish yourself for weak moments and then give up a healthy plan?
Answer these questions truthfully to yourself before reading on if you want to successfully loose weight.
To loose weight and keep it off, your dieting mind needs to remember:
Eat less, more frequently and much slower. Chew slowly and count every bite's chewing if you have to. Stop after the decided amount and brush your teeth! A fresh mouth seldom craves as badly.
More frequent small meals are essential for a successful diet and weight loss as it keeps your metabolism healthy. Fibre are filling and keeps our sugar levels consistent while veggies, whole grains and fruits, legumes and 'thin' meats are great food choices that will give energy the right way.
If you exercise and burn more than your intake, you WILL lose weight! When you reach your ultimate weight and want to simply sustain, you need to balance your burn-off with your intake. As simple as that!
Diets worst matches:
"Fast Diets" slow your metabolism down, making it impossible to keep weight off.
Fat can be via the healthiest foods and still add kerb your diet instead of loosing weight. Fat is the diet's worst enemy and appears in cheeses, mayonnaises, crisps, fried foods and pastries, meats and full-cream dairies.
Sugar and diets isn't a good match. When our insulin spikes too fast, it drops afterwards and that feeling is our enemy, for then you are tired and hungry. Tired and hungry often result in binging.
Laziness and idleness often makes us undisciplined. Stay fit, stay busy and stay focused!
Be realistic. Your diet is a mental shift and until your mind becomes your best weight loss buddy, you will find every step torturous.

The 2014 Maker Faire Bay Area will take place in San Mateo, CA this coming weekend, May 17-18th. I'll be there! No booth this time. I'll be wandering around the fairgrounds hoping to actually see the Faire this year.
Tag Archives: maker faire
Upcoming events: OHS, TAPR DCC, NYMF
There are three major events of interest to open source hardware and makery folks this month:
- The Open Hardware Summit is this Friday (9/6) in Cambridge, MA. I'll be there with Chris Gammell of the Amp Hour. Tickets are still available.
- The 32nd annual Tucson Amateur Packet Radio (TAPR) Digital Communications Conference takes place in Seattle on September 20-22nd.
- The World Maker Faire New York takes place on the same weekend, September 21-22nd, in Queens, NY.
I'll be at OHS and TAPR, but have to skip the NY Maker Faire this year. I imagine that far fewer folks from OHS will be attending NYMF now that those events are no longer co-located.
Sorry NYMF, but I can't turn down an excuse to visit my friends in Harvard square.
The Seattle Mini Maker Faire is next weekend!
The 2nd(?) annual Seattle Mini Maker Faire will take place next weekend (June 8th-9th, 2013) in the Northwest Rooms at the Seattle Center.
I'll be there showing off my Glowy Geiger Chimes and selling open source Geiger counter kits, Alan is bringing his Glowputer, and many other Seattle-area makers will be there (here's a list).
See you there!
Come see my Glowy Geiger Chimes at the 2013 Maker Faire Bay Area!
It's that time of the year again! The 2013 Maker Faire Bay Area is next weekend (May 18-19th) in San Mateo, California.
I haven't had time to post about it, but over the past few weeks I've been busy working on a special project for the Maker Faire this year.
This year I am bringing a new and improved version of the "Geiger counter-powered ambient music thing" that I threw together at the last minute last year (and never really came up with a good name for). In that project, I connected five of my open source Geiger Counter kits to an Arduino that sent MIDI commands to a Sparkfun Music Instrument Shield. When each Geiger counter was triggered by background radiation or one of the weakly radioactive sources nearby, the Arduino would send a command to the shield to play a musical note.
This year I'm bringing a new and improved version that uses a new piece of hardware that I designed specifically for the Faire – the Geiger Pad.
Each Geiger Pad contains a fully functional Geiger Counter based on my Geiger counter kit. The output of the Geiger counter is connected to a cluster of 14 very bright 5mm UV LEDs. On top of the Pad is a petri dish filled with uranium marbles. Each time the Geiger counter detects that a gamma ray was emitted by the marbles, it flashes the UV LEDs. Since the uranium marbles fluoresce green under UV light, this produces a brilliant green glow.
Today (yes, once again at the last minute) I finally got all the pieces together and working. If you come to the Faire you'll be able to see it in person, but I also posted a short video on flickr:
The Maker Faire website lists me in Expo Hall, but it's more likely that I'll be somewhere in the dark area of Fiesta Hall instead. Check the Maker Faire website later in the week for more details.
See you at the Faire!
My Hardware/Maker/Arcade/Pinball Geeky Events Calendar 2013
It's officially event season! I was sorting through my calendar this afternoon and I thought I'd share a few geeky hardware/arcade/pinball/open source/hackercamp events that I'm looking forward to over the next few months.
April 22-25: DESIGN West, San Jose, CA. I'll be there. Joe Grand is speaking on Wednesday
May 18-19: Maker Faire Bay Area, San Mateo, CA. I'll be there with a booth this year (Glowy Geiger Chimes).
May 17-19: Dayton Hamvention, Dayton, OH. I want to check out this HUGE ham radio event sometime, but my attempt to go to Dayton this year was thwarted because, yet again, it falls on the same weekend as the Maker Faire. Maybe next year.
June 2-7: MTT IMS 2013, Seattle, WA – Expo is free on Wednesday
June 7-9: Northwest Pinball and Arcade Show (NWPAS), Tacoma, WA. Definitely checking out this local show this year.
June 8-9: Seattle Mini Maker Faire, Seattle, WA (Another geek event collision, this time in Seattle.)
July 13-14: California Extreme (CAX), Santa Clara, CA. This might be my first year at CAX, if I don't have to cancel at the last minute like last year!
July 31-Aug 4: OHM2013, Geestmerambacht, NL. Deadline to submit a talk is May 1st.
Sept. 6: Open Hardware Summit, MIT (1st year held separately from the World Maker Faire!)
Sept. 21-22: World Maker Faire, Queens, NY.
Did I miss anything? What other events are folks excited about?

Saturday night Mr Suger and I had a very special house to warm. It was a birthday celebrating house in a ridiculously cool location in the centre of Brisbane. Well, technically it was a unit, but the party is the same. We were to celebrate with two people we adore very very much but hardly ever get to see these days. We were excited!
What to wear was something I pondered over for a little while. We are about 2 hours north of Brisbane so there would be driving (which means nothing that crushes too easily) and I had a pit stop along the way for a secret squirrel mission. Hmmmm. What to wear was the question.
A parcel arriving Friday held the answer.
This skirt.
Paired with a simple tee and wedges, a bit of bling and big hair. Hello, house-warming fabulous. It was dressy enough to look like I'd made an effort (thanks to the wedges). It was comfortable enough to be wearing all night though I did get a little wrinkled by the end of the drive home. Plus it was casual enough for a party where most people had their shoes off.
What say you? It's the best, right?
Hi! I'm Suger and I'm the Chief Blogger here. I make stuff for the internet. Which means I take photos, build websites, write copy and create social media plans for people. This is my blog where I share my life and the things that interest me. It's been living its best life on the interwebs since 2009.
