ITM – About this art book project
What do you think? I like it but I can change my mind at any time.
Posted earlier in this blog. Also the titles here may change.
One for the ITM project.
ITM – About this art book project
An early one #23 in the ThousandSketches. I like it.
Art Project 2017
I have a new creative project. A book. I will select about a hundred of my images that evoke a variety of mood and intensity, ranging from calm, surprise to fear. I'm working on the words. This project will link my art work with my psychological work. I'm looking for quality. Curation. The main thrust of the work is abstract, though some open-ended figurative images might pass the test.
Posts wi candidate images for the project will be in the Category ITM . I'll be creating new images, searching for old ones, updating old ones and improving print quality if I can.
Which of my images do you think belong here? Have a look at ThousandSketches and earlier sketches on this blog. Post a link in the comments on this post And we can discuss.
Please comment on posts. What is the mood, intensity and moment or life stage the image evokes.
I'll continue to post new sketches here that are not in the ITM Category (yet), so I will feel free to explore.
Thanks for being on the journey so far.

Art Gallery Opened Today!
I was moved to be there today. Five years post earthquake. I missed it, but I didn't realise how much I missed it. I have been a regular visitor since 1967, and so there were familiar works, and I loved immersing myself into the textures.
Max Gimblett. This was an item in his classic clover shape. I just liked being close up.
Close up of a McCahon.
I can see the Harley building where I used to work, fate still unknown.
Petrus van der Velden – amazing image of Otaro river.
E. Mervyn Taylor, I recall his woodcuts in the School Magazine.

You know the drill kiddies, it's Sensei Phoenix's Ultra-Mega Daizenshu review show! This time we're cooking up a pot of Volume 3. What are the ingredients you ask? Read on to find out.
To properly prepare volume 3, first we take a cup of the PlayStation One remake of Dragon Quest IV, complete with updated synths and compositions more in line with those of the orchestrated arrangements from previous albums. Place that on disc one, and you're doing well. The tracks are actually pretty good, and rather faithful to the orchestral arrangements.
Next, turn up the heat and add Disc 2, a compilation of the tracks from Dragon Quest VII, which, if you didn't buy the OST, could come in handy. The only downside is that the OST has the symphonic tracks as well, whereas here it's straightforward game rips.
Last, but not least, add a pinch of Game Boy to your pot. Disc 3 presents the first three games' soundtracks from their remakes on the Game Boy Color. I enjoyed DQ III on GBC, and the music was rather catchy. The GB did some amazing things with its little sound chip and with a good pair of headphones, you really could tell. Now we have it all beefed-up and digitally remastered. How's that for some flair? BAM!
In the end, the third volume of the great Dragon Quest Daizenshu compilation puts a great finish on an otherwise mediocre boxed set. Unless you're a real fan of the original game tracks, stay away. If you MUST have everything Dragon Quest related, then get these albums. Otherwise, please do yourself a favor and check my other Dragon Quest compilation review and get THAT box set. You'll be happier, trust me.

Happy Saint Patrick's Day everyone! Today is more than just the celebration of a famous Saint; it is the celebration of Ireland. With that in mind, I sat down with my professor of Irish literature to learn a little more about it.
Dr. Karen Steele teaches twentieth century Irish literature and is chair of the English Department at TCU. I have absolutely loved learning about Irish literature in her class this semester. I started by asking her about her favorite Irish literature and how she came to study it. Dr. Steele said she was drawn to Irish literature by a Yeats poem, "The Wild Swans at Coole."
She said, "I couldn't really say why I loved it but it just, it drew me in and I hand wrote it and put it above my bed and I thought about it all the time."
Once she found her way into Irish literature she looked for other ways to study Yeats.
"I wrote an essay on it, probably not very well, but it was heart felt and I looked for opportunities throughout my undergraduate studies to be able to work on Yeats," she said.
Dr. Steele also mentioned that she studied Yeats through a modern poetry tutorial during her time at Oxford. This all contributed to Dr. Steele's immersion into Irish literature.
"It was Yeats who brought me there, but I love to laugh about him now," she said. "Because I think there is so much about his own personal life and his philosophies that are silly but I just found his poetry irresistible."
After reading the poem and other pieces of Yeats work I can understand the draw that Yeats would have. But what other Irish writers are out there? Dr. Steele commented on her favorite piece of Irish fiction: James Joyce's Ulysses.
"One of my great sorrows is I rarely teach [Ulysses] because it's such a complex work, and it requires so much preparation to teach it I rarely teach it to undergraduates," she said.
Dr. Steele said Ulysses is her favorite because "it's so extraordinary that all of the jokes, all the fun, all the word play, all the messaging. It's hard to get if you don't have a lot of ground work first, so I rarely teach it but I love it so much."
I haven't read Ulysses yet (I will just have to add it to my Empire State building of a TBR list), but I have certainly read other works by James Joyce. One of my favorite pieces that I have read in Dr. Steele's class was a short story called "The Dead." But why is it important to discuss Irish literature in the first place? What do we gain?
Dr. Steele answered, "Being immersed in the literature is just a never ending entertainment. It's complicated, it's funny, it's deeply humane. Every time I get to prepare to write something or read something about Irish literature I go home to my husband say, this is incredible it's so smart, so funny."
Dr. Steele also explains how Irish literature is also important to the global sphere.
"I'm interested in how literature has a role to play in guiding the state of affairs…" she said. "We often think of literature as the ivory tower. It doesn't have any role to play in the world, but this is such an object lesson in how the culture was deeply invested and actually involved in the revolution and the formation of the state."
Now that we have an understanding of why we should read Irish literature, where on earth should we start? Well, Dr. Steele had some recommendations on that too. She suggested reading Brooklyn by Colm Tóibín. Dr. Steele emphasized the importance of the novel's perspective of the Irish immigrant experience.
"It's really helping us to appreciate how challenging it is as we're thinking about the questions of refuges today. I think as a novel that really helps us to see why you can desperately want to leave and yet never feel even when you have opportunities in this new country how difficult that experience is."
This has been something that I have been exploring all semester, and I really believe that Irish literature plays an important role in the study of literature. While I'm sure that I will learn even more the rest of the semester on this St. Patrick's Day, I think I'll start on Brooklyn.
Have a fantastic St. Patrick's Day and please comment if y'all have any favorite Irish authors or books! What's on your reading list?
-- Kit, intern

Solent Credit Union launches innovative Christmas Loan
30 Nov 18
Solent Credit Union (SCU) launches its innovative loan scheme "£300 this Christmas, and £300 to spend for Christmas 2019".
The new loan scheme combined a loan for this Christmas with a smooth transition into savings for 2019. The credit union sector supports its members with savings accounts and lending schemes in the lead up to the most expensive time of the year. Repayments start in January 2019 and end in November 2019. After the last repayment, the member will receive their £300 cash for Christmas 2019.
The offer comes at a time during the return of the hugely successful television series, 'A Matter of Life & Debt'. The documentary series focuses on the positive stories of loans made by credit unions through the eyes of their members and staff and according to SCU Director Iain Messenger he said: "the credit union is seeing an upsurge of interest since season 2 aired".
Iain added: "We think this will speak to people who want to spend a little extra this Christmas, and who would like to deal with an ethical, member-owned community bank."
One of the drivers for the Christmas loan was the belief that encouraging borrowers to begin to save is part of SCU's mission as a responsible lender. The credit union took particular inspiration from the research developed from the Fairbanking Foundation's "Save As You Borrow" report , which shows that 67% of save as you borrow users who had no savings, found it impossible to put money aside, now have plans to save regularly throughout the year as a result of using a credit union services.
SCU Director, Brian Risdale believes their new loan scheme can help members become regular savers, such as the 'Save as Your Borrow Report' suggests, Brian said: "Helping people to start saving while they are repaying a loan has proved a success in the UK".

Grandpa Bud thought they were all kids but they were stuffed animals. I liked that part because it was funny. I liked when they go to sleep and Grandpa Bud read them a story because I like stories and want to read as good as my sister.
I like this book because I know how to read it. My friends would like this book because they have stuffed animals.

Phew, what a year it's been so far, eh? Every year that I spend in this business seems to get busier and 2008 has already been jam-packed with events and, most importantly, a ton of really great games. Over the last couple of weeks, I've mostly been immersing myself in Fallout 3, but I've also sunk a good deal of time into Fable 2. Just yesterday, I started playing Resistance 2 on PS3 (I know, blasphemy!) and it's actually pretty amazing. Sterling will have a full verdict later on this week, but I wanted to mention that games are getting more and more awesome across all platforms because that's good for all gamers, including those who may be hopelessly devoted to the Xbox 360.
I'm sure I don't need to mention it, but Gears of War 2 is coming next week. I just got a little care package from Microsoft with my retail copy and I can't wait to play it! Unfortunately, I've got to crank out My So-Called Live column before I can even crack the shrink wrap on this sweet baby, but it's totally worth it because I've got some exciting news for y'all.
'Spy-Hunter is Back!
I'm pleased to announce that we'll be holding another 'Spy-Hunter event next week! We're going to be playing the Call of Duty: World at War multiplayer beta next Tuesday November 4th (yes, that's election day!) on Xbox 360. We want to give our friends on the East Coast a chance to participate, so we'll be playing from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. PST (6 p.m. - 8 p.m. Eastern). If you'd like to participate, shoot me a friend request over Xbox Live at my gamertag: GabeSpy. Incidentally, if you've played in 'Spy-Hunter before, I may have had to remove you from my friends list as I tend to reach maximum friend capacity pretty quickly, but feel free to send another request and I'll happily accept.
Of course, this is the CoD:WaW beta we're talking about, so unfortunately you won't all be able to attend because beta keys are in short supply. If you happen to be one of the lucky few who snagged one though, I would love to shoot you to pieces next Tuesday!
For those of you who may be scratching your heads right about now, saying to yourselves, "I thought Spyhunter was an arcade game about driving a white sports car while the Peter Gunn theme plays in the background" this is an altogether different 'Spy-Hunter. 'Spy-Hunter is basically your chance to mix it up with us GameSpies in online multiplayer. All you have to do is befriend me over an online gaming service (in the case of next week's event, Xbox Live) and then be online with the appropriate game at the appointed time (in this case next Tuesday at 3 p.m. Pacific) and you're all set. Hope you like getting beat down!
So, yeah, as I'd mentioned before, I've got some Gears 2 to play, but I wanted to make sure that everyone was aware of 'Spy-Hunter next week. Ordinarily, this is the place where I'd thank you for reading and invite you to send me an email, but now that we have user comments up and running, you can get in touch with me much faster (and way more publicly).

Here I am on day 14 - arriving at Castrojeriz with 469.4km (291.7 miles) left until I reach the end of my journey to Santiago. The last two weeks have been filled with walking, new friends, and taking in the sights and history of Spain. I have had an interesting time trying to change my hiking mindset from "long-distance AT hike" to "modern-day pilgrim", and many of my Appalachian Trail friends have asked me what I think of the Camino. I hope some of this information helps answer your questions.
Disclaimer: I am on a hostel apple computer - so this will be a quick post!
- The first few days in the Pyrenees felt like being on the AT again! Challenging climbs with great views as your reward. Once out of the Pyrenees the landscape is more farmland, rolling hills, or flat. You are hopping from town to town, and mainly walking on paved or gravel roads. I have found this to be harder on my knees than the trails of the AT. This forced me to buy trekking poles. And a knee brace.
- People! There are always people walking with you or near you the entire day. At first, I was set in my Ninja ways, trying to hike it fast and solo. Now I welcome the slower pace and great company to share the day. There is such a diverse popluation of pilgrims walking the Camino - all ages, male and female, pilgrims from Spain, France, Germany, Australia, Brazil, Ireland, Hungary, Canada, Mexico, USA, and everywhere else!
- On the Camino I only packed snacks, and carry about a liter of water on average. There always seems to be a town with a water fountain to stop, eat and refill. The one thing that has not changed is water treatment. If I get water from the fountains or hostels I immediately chemically treat the water. Many pilgrims keep buying water bottles out of fear and others drink it straight out of the fountain with no problem! But treating the water works for me.
- I have loved the sights along the countryside and in town. I geek out at the sights of ruins or of a giant cathedral in the city. You almost feel a link to the pilgrims that walked the Camino centuries ago when you gaze up at the awe inspiring cathedrals that mark each town.
- Hostels! Every night I have stayed in a hostel, and I feel so spoiled. Showers ever day and a bed to sleep in at night. No hanging bear bags or waiting to do laundry every five or six days. I smell way too clean and my phone is always charged.
- We do not talk mileage. We talk days. Most of us have the same 33 day plan, so it cracks me up when we say only 19 days left without a breakdown of the miles!
- No emotional roller coaster... yet. On the AT, you have months to go through all kinds of different feelings. Here on the Camino I feel like I am on a backpacking holiday - you have the stability of a town every day with WiFi, and you never go too long without running into a friend. Early on, I seemed to get over any second guessing my motivation to hike or missing my family. In that sense, last year on the AT makes me feel like an old pro on the Camino.
- My advice? The heat on the Camino can be rough. One word - sunscreen. Also, try to get out early so you can be in your final town by noon.
Overall, it has been a great time thus far on the Camino! I really have enjoyed the trip so far. You cant really compare the experience to the AT - they are so different from each other! Hope to post more soon.
Buen Camino!

Programmatic Paging
Programmatic paging could be done with the help of the public paging API that RadDataServiceDataSource.DataView provides. The DataView property implements the IPagedCollectionView interface which contains all paging methods and properties. When a page change is requested, a trip to the server will be made regardless of the AutoLoad setting. When filtering, sorting or grouping occurs, a trip to the server is made, the DataView is re-created and always returns to the first page.

Charles Barkley Flips off Ernie Johnson on TV. Smooth move Chuck, you are always a riot.
Comments 2
first person to comment haha
I totally agree with Jeff Van Gundy. Flopping does take away from the game, but beyond taking away for the game, it challenges the integrity of the game! I would think, 95% of the time, flops are easily identified. So, flops can be easily regulated. Why does the NBA not enforce the flop rule? It is there in NBA rules!!!
Another thing that is really getting to my nerves is how the league allow preferential calling for certain players. It seems if a player draws a huge fan base, and in turn helps sell tickets, referees will favor calls on both sides of the ball for that player and his team. It's time that fans start to boycott NBA games. There is also another resolve. If fans, after having bought tickets to a game and must sit through (unfair callings) a game where there are a great deals of obvious calls in favor a specific player, they should sue the NBA. Yes, the fans should sue the NBA!
It's time for fans standup! For without the fans, there is no income for any NBA employee, even the Commissioner, who has as Jeff said, "makes $25M"!

Your dog will come to stay at our house, with our dogs, and learn how to integrate into group play! We know that a dog fight or a dog attack on a human can be a terrifying and traumatic incident, and your first instinct might be to surrender your dog to a shelter or a rescue. As a former shelter and rescue director, I can tell you that many of these dogs wind up euthanized before ever making it to the adoption floor or to some mythical farm with unlimited space. If you truly want to save the life of a reactive dog you already own, learning how to properly care and manage your dog and their individual needs while giving them a high quality of life is the best way to help them. Over a 6 week period, we will work on behavior adjustment training, muzzle training, trigger identification, as well as coming up with an individualized plan to help manage your dog's stress and anxiety (and yours as well) in the best way possible so that they can be exposed to triggers down the road with the right tools to safely and successfully navigate past them for a lifetime of positive learning experiences!

You and your pup pick the activity ranging from dog park visits, individual or group hikes, or higher energy activities like bicycling and even skateboarding!

electronic intervention in open space
The mobile phone is some kind of prosthetic to humans. It is an electronic extension which contains a wide range of private informations about the owner. To attack this device means to enter the privacy of human kinds. So everybody is afraid of bluesnarfing, hacking or other forms of technical abuse.
The second aspect is to bring the menace of war-torne landscapes to save territories. In the case of anti-personna-mines that menace is simulated by mapping an minemap from Afghanistan, Kambodscha or Bosnien to a location based in Germany or some other save countrys.
The work contains the "shock of discovery" Everybody within the minezone is an potential victim. The mobile phone is just some kind of trigger to initiate a maybe shocking experience for the spectator.
Technically after mapping the minefield on a save place the base for the electrical mines is set. The mine should react on mobile phones, she attacks just on a different level. The whole process of reaction is set in a space not detectable for humans. There is stealth communication between electric devices. On the other hand the detonation or explosion should be recogniceable and shocking.

Hey hey!
I have been wanting to try this look for quite some time from Nailside, who is super talented at original nail art. Definitely give her a follow if you haven't already! The look I am showing today is by far her most popular look, the cloud mani. I decided to put my own twist on it by using holos from the China Glaze OMG collection: DV8, 2NITE, and OMG. I think the end result is pretty awesome!
Love it! How many of you have tried the cloud mani?Pin It

I got several questions after my recent post about making a time lapse video, about which software I use compile the images into a finished video.
I have several steps I personally us, they might not be the most efficient but since I have some of the software already I don't have to buy extra software. (I have not been able to find any decent all in one package)
- Image Ready CS
- VirtualDub
Step One
Download your images from the camera to a local drive. I found that since these images are typically nothing to do with my normal work flow and I tend to manually move them instead of using lightroom or canons own management tool.
Step Two
Image Ready – Open Image Ready and select the menu File>Import>Folder as Frames
Step Three
When the one image is loaded you can resize it to a more reasonable resolution 800×600 for example (you can do this before hand by using Photoshop actions which is much quicker but explaining actions is for another post)
Step Four
In Image Ready select File>Save Optimized File As and then save the file as a ".gif"
Step Five
Open the .gif file in VirtualDub
Step Six
Select the menu Video>Compression and then select your preferred compression method. (note: I normally leave it uncompressed for later use but if you select Divx it will give you a frame rate error)
Step Seven
Select the menu File>Save as AVI and name your video
Step Eight
With your finished AVI you can bring it into any video editing software to add music and to add additional movies etc.

Report shows rising student debt for college undercuts path to middle class
Higher education in the United States has become a debt-for-diplomas system in which most students borrow increasing amounts and colleges increasingly use tuition revenue to balance their books.
New statistics to buttress that case are in a recent report by the public-policy organization Dēmos, "The Great Cost Shift Continues: State Higher Education Funding After the Recession."
The study finds that every state – with the exception of North Dakota – spends less per student on higher education than before the Great Recession. In fact, 28 states cut spending by more than 25 percent.
In response, tuition at public four-year universities rose 20 percent after 2008, following a 14 percent increase in the four years prior.
Tuition at those four-year public universities now averages 15 percent of the median family income in 26 states. Average total cost – including room and board – consumes more than one-third of median household income in 23 states.
"The diminishing affordability of higher education is eroding one of the last secure pathways into the middle class," says Robert Hiltonsmith, policy analyst and co-author of the study. "The growth of the debt for diploma system has only intensified since the Great Depression."
Like two earlier, related reports from Dēmos, "The Great Cost Shift Continued" was written with support from Kresge's Education Program. The earlier reports are the "The Great Cost Shift: How Higher Education Cuts Undermine the Future Middle Class" (2012) and "At What Cost? How Student Debt Reduces Lifetime Wealth" (2013).
Kresge works to expand opportunity for low-income people in America's cities. Its Education Program promotes post-secondary access and success for low-income, first-generation and underrepresented students.
The release of the new report coincides with the Higher Ed, Not Debt campaign in which more than 60 organizations are advocating for new funding models to reinstate the nation's once debt-free system of higher education.
Up until about two decades ago, state funding ensured college tuition remained within the reach of most middle-class families, and financial aid ensured that lower-income students could afford the cost of college. States have disinvested in higher education at the same time that low- and middle-income households have seen stagnant or declining household income.

The Cost is Free Until We Win
Call 616-454-3700 FREE CONSULTATION
Our Grand Rapids automobile accident lawyers understand just how easily and quickly lives can change after a serious motor vehicle accident. Mounting medical bills, unpaid time off from work and other costs quickly add up and begin to snowball. What seemed like a simple rear-end collision can become a significant problem. More serious accidents may result in excessive medical debts, and cause lifestyle changes of such magnitude that they can destroy the foundation of a family.
Because of the serious consequences of motor vehicle accidents, a law firm experienced in these matters is crucial in order to preserve your rights. Midwest Personal Injury Lawyers have a proven track record of success in handling automobile accident cases, fighting for what injured victims deserve—compensation for medical bills, for pain and suffering, and for lost work.
There are many types of accidents involving vehicles. The accident may involve two cars (for example head-on, read-end, or side collision), or the accident may only involve a single vehicle (for example losing control on the road, rollovers, or collisions with animals / objects). These accidents can be caused by such faults as:
In our years of practicing personal injury law, we have seen the effect that automobile accidents can have on a person or family. Some injuries are minor, some go undetected for a period of time, and some are extremely serious right from the start. Some of the most common we see include:
Some of the above injuries can lead to disability, lost wages, rehabilitation, emotional trauma, and of course property damage (in the form of your car or truck). It's critical to seek a law firm who will fight for you and get you maximum compensation, because these types of injuries can be costly to victims and their families.
Automobile accident lawsuits generally state negligence as a "cause of action" (which is the legal basis for which a lawsuit is filed). Negligence could mean a person acting in a manner that a responsible person would not, or failing to take an action that a responsible person would take.
Examples of negligence in a traffic case would be changing lanes without looking or neglecting to stop at a stop sign. Cases can also involve reckless driving, in which a driver knowingly endangers the life of another.
After an accident, your insurance company will likely investigate the accident and offer you a settlement quickly. Don't take it. Your insurance company is likely not operating in your best interest. They will try to settle for the least amount possible and in the shortest time possible. Their goal is to try to avoid future medical expenses or other expenses that are likely to develop. By taking the settlement you may be signing off on your rights to be compensated for these expenses.
We do not recommend making any statements to your insurance company until you've spoken with a lawyer. If you do, you could jeopardize or limit your ability to recover damages. Or, worse yet, you could kill your entire case.
We believe that no person should suffer at the hands of another driver due to negligence or mistake. First and foremost, we want to see to it that you and your family are protected by receiving the compensation you deserve. Our lawyers have aggressively and successfully handled thousands of personal injury cases. Most are settled with much more favorable terms than the insurance company first offered. Some go all the way to trial. In either case, we're here for you. We'll fight for you. Contact our Grand Rapids car accident attorneys today to schedule a free consultation.
We understand that due to the high costs involved in fighting a case and the number of attorney hours required, it would be difficult (or impossible) for working individuals to afford a skilled attorney to protect your rights. This is why we will handle your case under our No-Fee Guarantee. This guarantee is simple and states that we will handle your case free-of-charge, unless you receive a settlement.

Hot 97's Funk Flex isn't here for LeBron James wearing the crown. The radio veteran has responded to King James tooting his own horn after taking down the New York Knicks last night (November 13) at Madison Square Garden.
Funk Flex went to Instagram Tuesday (November 14) to get at James for calling himself the "King of New York."
A few hours ago, Bron-Bron went to IG and proclaimed his New York greatness.
TSR STAFF: Talia O. @theclosetratchet _______________________________________ #SWIPE left so we can tell y'all why the #Cavs are the PETTIEST team on the planet! So, last week, they suffered a blow out from the #Hawks which led #LeBronJames to post the Arthur fist meme and captioned it "#Mood." Fans know that this means he's ready to kick some azz on the court which they did last night! The Cavs beat the #Knicks by 3 points after coming back from being down 23 points and #LeBron subsequently called himself the "King of NY." _______________________________________ Knicks player #EnesKanter threw a little shade at LeBron in a post-game interview, calling him a queen and a princess. Bron-Bron clapped back in his own interview and said that he's the king, his wife is the queen and their daughter is the princess on NY! Oop! _______________________________________ To top all of this off, fellow Cavs players #ImanShumpert, #IsaiahThomas and #DwyaneWade posted Arthur memes with "#Mood" in the caption after such an exciting win! 😩 We all need a squad like this 😂 🎥: @nbatv

The Eye Opener
Wednesday, April 11, 2018
We alcoholics have learned that if we fight liquor, we are bound to lose. We always have. Our only hope is a complete abandonment of any ideas that we might have once entertained that we can drink. We must get sober and learn to like it. We should throw ourselves into all group activities, make our friends from the membership, read all AA literature and other spiritually inspiring books we can get, brush up on our praying.
As you practice this, you will find that whiskey will get further and further from your minds and, when you do think of it, you will regard it as a beverage for some guys but poison for yourself.

Last night we had some old favorites at our house. I'm so familiar with salmon patties that I can practically cook them in my sleep. Nothing could go wrong with that, right? Um….yeah.
Although last night was relatively uneventful compared to most nights, I did manage to burn my fingers more than once and my pot of potatoes overflowed. By the time my children started asking for snacks, drinks, and dinner every two minutes, I was feeling my eye twitching every time they came into the kitchen. Then Ella, my three year old, walked in and said, "What are we having for dinner?" After my son told her salmon she immediately turned her nose up and started to whine. I quickly caught her attention and told her we were actually having "giant chicken nuggets" (which is exactly what my son thought they were until last year). It is slightly deceiving, but I go with whatever works!
Let's get started! Here's what you will need for the salmon patties. Well…and oil, but you get the drift. This recipe is very reasonable on the wallet.
A few important notes:
- Get boneless and skinless. If not, you'll be like me the first time I made these and spend an hour trying to pick the minuscule bits of skin and bones out before just throwing it all away and screaming in frustration.
- I have used different brands and noticed some of them need more or less cornmeal. Just be warned that all brands are different and what works for Double "Q" may not necessarily work for another brand (in terms of cornmeal amounts needed and such).
I mixed together two cans of salmon in medium-sized bowl. I always drain one and just dump in the second one with liquid and all. I added in two eggs and used a fork to mix the eggs and salmon together and then I added in the 1/4 cup of cornmeal and mixed well. Last night I added in an extra 1/8 cup. I usually know it's "ready" when I push it all to one side of the bowl and it doesn't automatically slide back into place.
After mixing them up, drop them by small spoonfuls into a skillet of hot oil. You can make bigger ones if you want. I vary on sizes.
It's time to flip when they turn golden brown on the sides!
Once they are done, they should look like this on the inside:
As a side I also made cheesy smashed potatoes. I washed and sliced five UN-peeled potatoes and boiled them while I made the salmon patties. I then added a little milk, a Tbsp of butter, and a handful of cheese and mashed them up. The skin is just extra nutrients and it's so much easier than peeling it. I also used my trusty Pampered Chef steamer (no, I don't sell it- I just adore this product) to steam frozen broccoli in the microwave.
All in all it was a fast and easy dinner!Oh and my three year old still thinks we had chicken nuggets. And she ate every. last. one.
*Disclaimer: I make these pretty plain. You may want to add more seasonings, but we prefer them this way. This should be considered a base recipe by most.
Salmon Patties
- 2 Cans of boneless, skinless Salmon- ONE drained (I prefer Double "Q")
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 C of cornmeal (may need an extra 1/8 C occasionally)
- olive oil
Combine regular can of salmon and drained can. Add eggs. Mix together with a fork. Add in cornmeal and mix well. If needed, add extra cornmeal. Heat olive oil in skillet on medium to medium/high heat. Drop spoonfuls of salmon mixture into hot skillet. Turn patties when the edges turn golden brown. Once patties are done, move to a paper-towel covered plate to soak up any extra oil. Serve.
Cheesy Smashed Potatoes
- 5-6 washed, un-peeled potatoes
- 1 Tbsp Butter
- 2-3 Tbsp milk
- "handful" of shredded sharp cheddar cheese (real technical measurements here…)
Slice potatoes and add to a large pot of boiling water. Let potatoes boil until they are tender and easily mashed with fork. Drain and return to pot. Add in milk and butter and mash by hand. After butter melts, add in a handful of cheese and hand mash.

Class of 2012
My parents met at Princeton as undergraduates about thirty-years ago and got married six-days after my mother marched through FitzRandolph Gate for graduation. Eighteen-years ago, they got a divorce.
I don't fault my parents for their union—without it I wouldn't exist. I also don't fault them for their divorce—they handled it with great dignity and took pains to ensure that my brother and I would not be placed in the middle of their disagreements.
Having grown up in a fractured Princeton marriage, I was dismayed to read Susan Patton '77's letter last week. One of the many lessons my parents' relationship taught me was that the right person is not necessarily the man or woman who has the same academic credentials as you. The right person is the one with whom you feel comfortable building a life and making difficult personal decisions. Reducing the search for that person to an intellectual yardstick leads to poorly framed thinking about an institution that is so beautiful, fraught, and complex.
I also disliked Ms. Patton's statement, "As Princeton women, we have almost priced ourselves out of the market." It suggests that, before reaching out for a new accolade, a woman should stop and consider how much share that achievement will make her lose in the dating market—that, simply by attending Princeton, we have already limited ourselves to a boutique audience that we should not shrink any more.
What if I don't want to change myself into someone who stops reaching? Is it really that absurd to hope someone will love me, ambition and all?
Haley White '12
P.S. On a lighter note, I would like to correct a factual error in Ms. Patton's piece: Heterosexual women need not limit themselves to undergraduates. There are many interesting, attractive men over at the Graduate College. If your personal life has hit a lull, go to the D Bar.
Correction: Due to an editing error, an earlier version of this article contained an incomplete draft of this letter. The 'Prince' regrets the error.

Lesson Plan for Small Talk
Ok, you have greeted the guests, completed the necessary business (such as checked the guests in, asked
them to have a seat while their table in being prepared in a restaurant, or given them their order at the bar).
Now What?
People, being the social animals they are, many times feel uncomfortable just standing around and not
interacting in anyway. Let's face it, almost nobody likes to be ignored. But how do you continue social
interactions during these awkward moments? Chit chatting or small talk is the solution.
Chit chatting is a natural and very common form of communication between strangers. With some one you
know, continuing a conversation is easy. You would naturally talk about things you both have in common,
such as the job, other friends, sports, etc.
With strangers, such as guests, chit chatting becomes a little more difficult. It is harder to find common areas
of interest. Also some topics should not be asked about because they would be too personal. Such topics include:
Are you married?
How much money do you make?
What is your religion or political affiliation?
These types of topics are too personal and should be avoided, unless of course the stranger brings them up
first. Even then, be leery. So what can you talk about? Below are a few safe suggestions.
Is this your first trip to (….Thailand)?
Are you enjoying your stay so far?
How do you like the weather (…on the island)?
What country are you from?
What's the weather like in your country?
What have you done so far since being here?
Are you getting a lot of good photographs? (if the person has a camera)
Have you been to any interesting places since you arrived?
Have you had any local dishes that you particularly like?
Have you purchased many souvenirs yet?
Have you been to many (…beaches on the island)? Which was your favorite?
How was the flight here? (for a guest first arriving, but don't ask this if they have been in the
hotel for a few days)

Doing Hard Time in Malta
By Tom Morkin
Unlike normal people, for some strange reason Liz and I don't mind living on our boat while it's lying high and dry in a boatyard. In fact, elements of boatyard living are downright pleasurable. Take for example our last yards: Boat Lagoon in Thailand and Rebak in Malaysia. Both boatyards were situated in resorts, complete with swimming pools, restaurants, TV room, internet access, and lovely shower facilities. Of course yards like those are exceptions, while the Malta yard, Manoel Island Yacht Yard, is, well, a real boatyard. Yep, no restaurant, no internet, and certainly no swimming pool.
Manoel Island Yacht Yard, with seven slipways, is one of the oldest established yacht repair yards in the Mediterranean.
But even without the luxurious amenities of a resort, and even with the noise, grit and grime of boatyard life, there's something strangely satisfying about taking your boat out of the water and placing her on a pedestal of sorts, where one can inspect and treat all those inaccessible or difficult-to-work-on areas while afloat: cutlass-shaft bearing, through-hull fittings, stuffing boxes, sea cocks, zinc anodes — clearly not items of glamour, but certainly items that need to be well maintained to keep your boat afloat.
In our case this time, Feel Free was hauled out because we returned to Canada for five months. We could've left her floating in a secure marina, but because we needed to haul her upon our return to Malta anyway, we opted to haul before we left. Not only will she not sink while in a boatyard, her metal parts aren't as corrodible while sitting high and dry, and finally, a water-permeable fiberglass hull stops absorbing water into its very being and may even delay or slow down the osmotic blistering process.
|The Manoel Island Yacht Yard neighborhood is picturesque and pleasant and shops are easily accessible by foot or bicycle.
Upon our return five months later, except for the incredible amount of dust everywhere, the boat was in good shape. Only one wrinkle — I'd hidden all the valuable electronics, radar, GPS, SSB radio, VHF radio, autopilot, printer, and binoculars so well it took over 10 days to find them all! Next time I'll record where I stash the goodies.
Aside from the standard boatyard tasks such as sanding, cleaning, and painting the bottom, we also replaced zincs on the keel, propeller shaft, and shaft strut. We were happy to see that the cutlass-shaft bearing was still in good shape and didn't need replacing.
|Life in the boat yard is a full time job
We checked integrity of all through-hull fittings and seacocks. This entailed sanding the through hull down to bare metal and checking for corrosion. Any pitting was grounds for removal and replacement. They all checked out fine. Unfortunately, we didn't fair so well with the bronze seacocks; two were so stiff I broke the bronze valve stems while trying to open and close them. Lesson learned: lubricate the ball valves before the boat is left unused for five months, not after.
After carrying an assortment of large wooden bungs in a bag on the boat for 14 years, we finally decided to do the right thing and actually tie the appropriate bung to each seacock so in the event of a seacock failing, and the boat filling with water, we won't have to run around panic-stricken trying to find the correct bung for the job. I know what you are thinking – it took 14 years to get around to doing that? What can I say, I was too busy making beer? Anyway, better late than never.
To our surprise, none of the bungs was properly sanded and didn't seal well when tested. So out came the sandpaper and seven bungs were sanded smooth until they produced a watertight seal.
|I sanded seven bungs, one for each through hull so that they'd fit securely if ever they were needed. Each bung was then placed next to its appropriate through-hull for easy accessibility.
At each haulout we turn anchor chain end for end and remark it. We have 300 feet of 3/8-inch high-tensile-strength chain. It's now 14 years old and has been regalvanized twice, once in Mexico (1998) and once in Australia (2003). Although it would be nice to do it again, there is no facility in Malta so it will have to wait. We use wire ties and different colors of polypropylene line, woven through the chain links, to mark different lengths of chain. Painting the chain never worked very well for us. It looked nice until we started to put it in the water and drag it over sand, rock, coral, and mud. Within no time, we couldn't read the paint marks anymore.
|We weave strands of colored polypropylene line into our 300 ft. of 3/8" chain to mark lengths eg. 1 short red line marks 50 ft.
I can't end this talk of chain until I talk about the end of the chain itself, and how it is secured to the boat. In fact, how the bitter end of the chain is secured to the boat may be as important as how the front end of the chain is attached to the hook. Stories abound of lost ground tackle resulting from the bitter end of the chain not being tied to the boat. Although we needn't confess to such a blunder we have had just the opposite problem — not being able to jettison the ground tackle when we needed to escape an anchorage in an emergency.
In Thailand shortly after the Indian Ocean tsunami there was another tsunami alarm posted when we were in an anchorage that had been totally decimated by the big tsunami just two months earlier. We frantically tried to up anchor and get to deep water fast, but as luck would have it, the anchor was fouled on the bottom. Naturally, this was at night. After repeated attempts to get the hook unhooked, it was still stuck as we watched the 50 other boats parading out of the potentially deadly anchorage. After a short heated discussion about leaving $2,500 worth of ground tackle on the bottom or risking our lives in what we thought was to be the second killer Indian Ocean tsunami, we unanimously voted to dump the gear and "get out of Dodge."
|Some of the wreckage we encountered after the dreadful 2004 tsunami in Thailand.
Easy, right? Well sort of. The bitter end of our chain was tied to a 15-foot section of 3/8-inch nylon line that was tied to the bulkhead in the anchor locker. When we eased the windlass clutch, the chain paid out of the anchor locker. All to plan, until the final link of the chain that was attached to the line by a bowline snagged in the windlass hawser. Eventually it came free and the chain was free to go once we cut the line with a sharp knife. We planned to return to the scene of the crime to retrieve our chain and anchor, so we'd tied fenders on the chain links before making the cut. Once cut we were on our way to the safety of deeper water.
We soon learned the warning was a false alarm. There was indeed an earthquake in the neighborhood but it didn't generate a tsunami.
Cool, now let's go back and get the anchor chain, pick it up, go back to bed, and worry about freeing the hook in the morning. The only problem was we couldn't find the fenders or chain. The weight of the chain was enough to drag down the fenders below the surface of the water. Try as we did we couldn't find the fenders until the light of dawn.
Now, we have at least 75 feet of 3/8-inch line connecting the chain to the boat. The line is woven through the last 10 links so it won't jam when we pay it out and near the end of the line we have tied loops in the line so we can tie fenders to the loops. When we dump the ground tackle, the fenders will remain on the surface and easy to find. Let's hope we won't have to test the new system anytime soon.
Our time on the hard went by surprisingly fast. We were in no great hurry to splash, so we weren't rushed in our jobs and could simply drop our tools and get away to explore the two main islands by bus or bicycle. We never worried about dragging anchors, sinking, or crashing into other boats. We got things done that could only be done out of the water, and feel we got a good look at parts of the boat you can only see out of the water and can say the ol' girl still looks healthy and good for a couple more miles. All in all, our "hard time in Malta" wasn't that hard after all.

Who Needs a Gestational Diabetes Meal Plan?
Statistics have shown that roughly five percent of pregnant women may develop gestational diabetes, a condition in which a woman who doesn't suffer from diabetes, suddenly becomes diabetic during and usually in the second half of her pregnancy.
When something like this happens, blood sugar monitoring should be done regularly to avoid any complications that may arise during labor.
How Effective is a Gestational Diabetes Meal Plan?
When a woman develops mild gestational diabetes, it is important that a proper diabetic meal plan is implemented with the help of a professional nutritionist to help control blood sugar levels. If the diabetes is allowed to progress into a stronger condition, insulin therapy may need introduced to help lower blood sugar levels.
How do you Design a Great Gestational Diabetes Meal Plan?
There is tons of information on designing a diabetic meal plan, but you should always take care to make sure that you get a balanced combination of carbohydrate, protein, mineral and vitamins.
Because it's not only you that is being affected by Gestational diabetes, but also your unborn baby, you should really seek out professional help to make sure that you are both getting all of the nutrients you need, while keeping your blood sugar levels in check at the same time.
Gestational Diabetes Symptoms
A good majority of the time, there are no symptoms, or very mild. These can include:
- Weight loss – even though you are eating more!
- Blurred vision
- Nausea and vomiting
- Increased thirst and Urination
- Increased infections, particularly of the bladder and vagina.
- Fatigue
- Raised blood sugar, which will generally stabilize after the birth
Causes of Gestational Diabetes.
- If you are carrying extra weight prior to becoming pregnant
- If you have a family history of Diabetes Type 2
- If you fall into the category of 'Pre-Diabetes' which is raised Blood Sugar, but not high enough to be classed 'Diabetic' (Read More about Pre-Diabetes)
- Women over the age of 25 are more at risk.
- If you have previously given birth to a baby that weighed more than 9 pounds.
- If you have Polycystic Ovary Syndrome.
- If you are a Pacific Islander, Hispanic, African American or American Indian.
- You have given birth to a stillborn baby in the past.
A Sample Diabetes Meal Plan
If you are brainstorming for ideas for the meal plan, here are some tips:
Get yourself some starchy vegetables along with whole wheat bread, drink some milk to get a good intake of protein. If you want, you may also add a bagel spread with a teaspoon of jam.
You can grab a sandwich made with whole wheat bread with two ounces of protein rich meat, such as roasted turkey, lean roast beef or fresh tuna. You can use a tablespoon of salad dressing or mayonnaise along with your sandwich for flavor. Finally, add a cup of nonfat yogurt or some milk to get your dairy requirement for this meal.
You may want to get more protein and having some grilled chicken or salmon (approximately three ounces) would be a great start. Next, you'll want to get your carbohydrate of choice, with suggestions of either a cup of pasta or large baked potato and to this add a cup of steamed asparagus or some tossed salad with low fat salad dressing. Lastly for dessert you can enjoy a cup of fresh apricots, melons or other fruit.
If you feel hungry, you may want to get some snacks like whole wheat crackers or tortilla chips to help tide you over between meals. If you choose to go this route, just remember to keep the snacks small, so that your gestational diabetes meal plan is effective while at the same time enjoyable!

Spies and PrejudiceBook - 2013
From the critics
Community Activity
CommentAdd a Comment
First off, don't be fooled by the title - other than a security company named Pemberly, and a couple of vague references, this book has nothing to do with 'Pride and Prejudice'. It does feature teenagers talking and acting like adults, a MC who is obsessed with her mother's death, at the expense of the friendship of her only friend, and her ability to carry on a relationship with a boy. The plot is so convoluted and twisted, I'm reasonably certain the author lost track of what she was writing. I flipped through the last 30-40 pages just to get to the end, though to be honest, I didn't care how it ended, I just wanted it to be over. Sorry, but I cannot recommend.
