A couple of fun announcements before we get down to crispy business:
1) The Bojon Gourmet turned four yesterday!
2) This Saturday, I'm giving my first ever cooking demonstration in collaboration with yogini Kimberly Hu. We're calling it YOGA+YUM. It will be a morning of delicious poses followed by a demonstration of some of my favorite (vegan, gluten-free) recipes, and then eating and drinking said recipes. Nom-maste.
And now, on to the crisps…
For the past month, our kitchen has been an Atkin's dieter's worst nightmare. Faced with the end of summer, I seem to have decided to Bake All The Things in a frenzy to enjoy the last of summer produce. Blackberry crisps, pink pearl apple tarte tatins, ricotta-fig cheesecakes, nectarine upside-down cakes, pumpkin muffins, fig tarts, apricot galettes – these have all featured in the nonstop parade of desserts marching through the Bojon kitchen. (Not to mention the truffles I'm making for this Saturday's cooking demonstration, and the mint chip ice cream sandwiches from my blogiversary party.) The other night I counted five different sweets in the house. Five.
Admittedly, if this is my biggest problem, I'm a very lucky person.
It's a good thing we're leaving town next weekend for a week-long road trip to Portland. Although a major reason for going is to visit Bakeshop, Bakery Bar, and Salt and Straw, so that might not do us much good…
The blackberry gods eluded me this year, so I finally broke down and bought some ridiculously expensive ones from our co-op. Luckily, the berries have such intense flavor that a little goes a long way. In this case, two 6-ounce containers became 8 crisps; not too shabby.
Inspired by this pie, I added a big splash of balsamic vinegar and some lemon zest to the filling. I thought rye flour's deep flavor would play well with the berries, so I used it in the crumble topping along with quick oats, a good grind of black pepper, a dash of cinnamon, and a few flecks of flaky salt on top.
Craig Lee, food photographer for the chronicle, kindly took pictures of my hands, and fed me words of encouragement as I struggled to shoot the crisps before the crème fraîche ice cream could melt.
As for the crisps, they have a woodsy flavor, deep and dark from the berries. The balsamic adds a tart complexity that you can't quite put your finger on, but it heightens and intensifies the berries. The crisp streusel gets hearty notes from the rye and oats, while the black pepper and flakes of Maldon salt play off the sweet-tart filling.
No crisp is complete without ice cream; the tang of the crème fraîche here plays the creamy foil to the deep, dark flavors going on down below and seems to draw out the savory notes. I've eaten them with vanilla ice cream, too, which makes them taste more conventionally dessert-like. The choice is yours.
If you can't find blackberries, try these with blueberries, huckles, or a mix of different summer berries; all play well with balsamic vinegar. I'd like to try a gluten-free version of these made with buckwheat flour, though I know that this gluten-free crumble topping will work for sure.
Another thing on my blackberry wishlist? Carey's Honey-Thyme and Blackberry Goat Cheese Swirl Ice Cream. In fact, I think thyme could be a lovely addition to this dessert.
Wishing everyone a delicious transition into fall that's full of gooey, warm desserts.

Blackberry Balsamic Crisps with Rye-Oat Crumble
I baked these crisps in eight 6-ounce ramekins. You can also use 1-cup wide-mouth mason jars, or bake one large crisp in a 9-10″ round baking pan, pie pan, or oven-safe skillet. Use regular rye flour here; dark rye flour is coarser and sometimes labeled as "pumpernickel flour." These crisps are wheat-free, but not gluten-free; for a gluten-free version, try this crumble topping. My berries were on the tart side; if yours are ripe and sweet, you may want to decrease the sugar in the filling to 1/4 or 1/3 cup. Serve these warm from the oven with Dreamy Vanilla or Crème Fraîche Ice Cream.
8 servings
Blackberry Balsamic Filling:
4-5 cups blackberries (two 6-ounce containers), rinsed and drained
1/2 cup white, brown, or unrefined sugar
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon cornstarch
zest of 1 lemon
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
Rye-Oat Crumble Topping:
3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons rye flour
1/2 cup quick oats
1/2 cup brown or unrefined sugar
scant 1/2 teaspoon fine sea or kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed and slightly softened
flaky salt and coarse sugar, for sprinkling
Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350ºF. Place eight 6-8 ounce ramekins on a rimmed baking sheet and set aside.
In a large bowl, toss together the blackberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon zest, and 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar. Divide the berries and their juices among the ramekins, and pack them down a bit to make room for the topping.
In another large bowl (or the same one, scraped clean) combine the flour, oats, sugar, salt, pepper and cinnamon. Add the butter and work with your fingertips or a pasty blender until the mixture forms large clumps. Divide the topping among the ramekins, squeezing some into hazelnut-sized chunks. Sprinkle each crisp with a bit of coarse sugar, and a few flecks of flaky salt.
Bake the crisps until the juices are bubbling furiously and the topping is golden, 30-35 minutes. Let cool at least 10 minutes, then serve the crisps warm, topped with ice cream.
Extra crisps can be covered and refrigerated for up to a week, then reheated in a hot oven or toaster oven before serving.

I used Revlon's Really Rosy as a base with Butter London's Tart With A Heart over top. When I first received this Butter polish from Glymm as an error I was kinda upset cause it just looks like just another gold glitter top coat. But now that I have finally used it, I can say that I love it! I picked up Really Rosy from the Dollarama a few weeks ago and have really been enjoying it both alone and with glitter on top.
Both of these polishes alone and layered together last about a week with minimal tip wear and no chipping.

Unless you've found the Holy Grail or been blessed with the genetics of Meryl Streep, you're probably wondering how to turn back the clock to when you were actually 21.
And there's an instant, Botox free way to do it – Glasses!
Yes, they've been accused of adding years to your face but sporting the perfect pair of specs can actually do the opposite. Here's a few tips for choosing frames that, like a fine wine, will help you get better with age:
1. Camouflage those Creases
When it comes to ageing, your eyes are one of the first to give in to Mr Time. If you're cursed with wrinkles, dark circles or baggy eyes, steer clear of rimless specs and try a pair of thick larger ones for size. They'll quickly cover up any nasties and draw attention to your gorgeous eyes instead. For those seeking maximum coverage, oversized sunnies work a charm (and come with UV protection- bonus anti-ageing points!).
We recommend the Dexter or Half Bench for those looking to make a statement in the office with the pink Thistle Sisters for some casual Friday fun.
2. Catch eyes with Cat-Eyes
Like a cat's nine lives, these retro glasses are renowned for their youthful powers. The frame's upswept outer edges will highlight the bone structure of any face shape, gifting you with an instant face-lift as well as a few jealous friends 😉
Edna and Sophisticat are perfect for glasses newbies looking to get out of their (tortoise)shell whilst the 70s style Liquorish Allsorts will please sweet tooths and nostalgics alike.
3. Show your True Colours
If ageing gracefully à la Jennifer Aniston is on your wish list, it's time to ditch the dull metallic frames and give a fiery red or Deep Blue pair a go. Colourful glasses can add warmth, softness and a bit of fun to your face, especially when matched with the colour of your eyes, hair or outfit. It's always handy to have a few different coloured pairs to accessorise with (and like shoes, you can never have too many!).
Try translucent gems like the Toffee Apples or Blue Steel to test the waters or go bold with the Red Baron.

I have willpower and determination. I am very resilient, like rock.
It's not just being overweight that's dangerous. Stress is dangerous.

Sonam Dorjee, a 40 year old Buddhist monk from Gaden Monastery died in a hospital in the Lhasa city, central Tibet after a Chinese security guard accidentally open fire at arround 4pm,(Tibet time), on September 2012," the sources said.
The Chinese authirities described the incident as an "accidental shooting," but, Dorjee died in the hospital, after injuring his heart, later his family called by authorities to cover up the death body, the reports said.
Sources stated that some officials from the monastery urged to authorities to hand over the monk's body, however the authorities did not listern them and handed over his body to family members in Maldro Gungkar county a day after the shooting incident.
Sonam Dorjee originally came from Bang-nga town of Gungkar county, Maldro Gungkar, Central Tibet. Jampa, his Father and Kalsang, is mother, both aged 77.
Chinese authorities have given compensation to the family of a Buddhist monk. The authorities strongly warned his family members not to tell others, he has being shot by security guard, but he had died of suffering illness.
However, there is still no clear indication of how this shooting incident was happened in the capital Lhasa, a place which knowns as one of the most sensitive areas in Tibet.
Chinese shooting at Tibetans in Tibet is not a new case. The incident-- made international headlines when security forces open fire on fleeing Tibetan refugees in 2006, Kelsang Namtso, a 17 years old Buddhist nun was shot dead just before the Nangpa La Pass, border of Tibet and Nepal.
"There have been several incidents in the Hiamalayan nation like 2006, villages to cities, and counties to provinces, even Tibet's borders to India and Nepal, the true concerning situiation in Tibet has been hidden, because the Chinese authorities have thoroughly blocked all means of communication about it," said Nyima T.J, a Tibetan political analyst based in India.

Super Wrestler:
"I will defeat you – with HONOR!â€
Only three things matter to the Super Wrestler: his mask, his honor, and the time-honored art of wrestling. He throws himself at every challenge that comes his way with gusto, counting on the strength of justice and his muscular arms to save the day, no matter the odds or danger. When victory is his, he throws out his arms to the sound of roaring cheers and wild applause…which is a little odd when there doesn't seem to be anyone else around.
There are few situations that the Super Wrestler doesn't think can be solved with a bold battle cry and a fancy wrestling move. The surprising thing isn't that he treats life like it's all a big wrestling match – it's that so far, it's always worked!

Every week Devon becomes more confident in the use of his hands. Last week he started drinking milk bottles by himself.
"He can fend for himself now," I told Shauna. "We can set him free."
Shauna, however, doesn't share my enthusiasm for free-range parenting of eight-month old babies.
But this week Devon also mastered the ability to throw objects at other objects from across the room. Pretty soon he should be able to hunt down his own dinner, I think.
Look how he prepares for a killer throw. At this rate, we should be able to set him out in the back yard to find food in no time.

A portable toilet dumped in Marian Engel Park is long overdue to get off the pot.
For someone who's been doing a cross-legged dance while trying to forestall an urgent call from nature, a porta-potty can look pretty darn inviting.
But everything has its time and place and time was up several weeks ago on an outhouse that was plunked down at the corner of Lambertlodge Dr. and Melita Cr., in the Dupont and Christie Sts. area, on park property.
Hilary MacKenzie reported on SeeClickFix that the toilet is out of place in a park that offers the only playground for children in a densely populated area filled with high-rises.
"Many families do not have their own yard for children to play in," said MacKenzie. "I don't think any neighbourhood should be blighted like this.
"I think it is exceedingly discriminatory that this eyesore gets dumped in our neighbourhood, next to a Toronto Community Housing building.
"Maybe we should find some muscle men to carry it up the (hill) to the large park up there, surrounded by houses with very large gardens of their own.
"I have a feeling it would not stay there very long."
We went there and found the privy next to the sidewalk on the south side of the park, where it offers a convenient respite to pedestrians. But they aren't the customers it was intended for.
We were wondering about that, since there is no sign of recent construction along the street, the usual reason for the sudden appearance of a portable toilet.
A comment added to the SeeClickFix report shed some light on it, saying extensive overhead wiring work was done on Lambertlodge recently and that it was used by workers.
STATUS: We weren't sure who to call, since the work was likely done by a contractor. We tried the parks department and Toronto Hydro before calling GFL Environmental, which owns the outhouse. A woman named Mickey tracked it down to Powerline Plus, an electrical contractor. Mickey said she'd call the contractor to confirm it is no longer needed and then arrange to have it removed no later than Monday.

Windows Phone 7.5 (Mango) brings us sockets as another means for us to use data from the Internet. MSDN provides two pretty sweet samples in the UDP and TCP how-to samples. Basically each sample socket connects to the TCP/IP Simple Services Echo and Quote of the Day. The samples do tell a user how to install the TCP/IP Services on their own machine to run the samples while the phone is tethered to your desktop or laptop.
Unfortunately, this does nothing for you if you want to run the samples from a physical phone that isn't tethered to your PC. You need to enter a hostname or IP that's running simple TCP services out in the wild Internet. Eerily enough, it was hard as heck to try and find a public server running simple TCP/IP Services. I binged around and even hit some internal Microsoft email lists looking for a public Microsoft owned server running simple TCP Services that I could hit for demos and such. Ah well, no luck.
But, luckily for me, my http://www.devfish.net website isn't a just a simple (ugly) IIS Web Site. Devfish is actually a Virtual Private Server from an awesome Florida based hoster, Applied Innovations. I've got a full virtual server out there I can install anything I want on. Sooo, I installed the Simple TCP/IP Services onto "devfish.net". To use the samples on a "real phone" simply point the Host Name over to "devfish.net". Done.
If you want to download the samples already coded, and not have to key them in, I've shared them out at [ http://www.devfish.net/downloads/files/WP7TackleBox.zip ]. I added a few items to the samples such as saving the hostname from session to session, and trapping the socketexceptions if the host is invalid. I also chopped the SocketClient classes out to separate TCP and UCP classes. Enjoy.
More socket goodness and resources are available at my ScrewTurn Wiki - http://dfwiki.devfish.net .

It looks like Farmville may soon be releasing a new spin on quests… The Farm-azing Run. This is a 15 step quest that will take you on a journey across three different farms and give you the opportunity to compete with your friends on a new sort of leaderboard. (This appears to be an additional leaderboard, not a replacement. Check out the details below and please do share with friends if you find our post helpful.
A look at the loading screen
A look at the pop-up that we will get when the feature goes live on our farms.
As you can see we will be traveling across three farms to complete 15 quest stages and competing with our friends to reach the top of a leaderboard. From the rewards pictured on the loading screen and the character guiding us, we would guess that the farms will be English Countryside, Australia, and Hawaiian Paradise
A look at the pop-up when you complete a stage and earn a reward
A look at the warning pop-up when someone passes you on the leaderboard
Finally, a look at the popup for the final reward for the quest, note that there appears to be a bonus prize at the end.
That's all for now, we shall update this post as more information becomes available. Stay tuned to the Dirt Farmer for all the latest Farmville news and information.

Machinists union recommends strike at Cessna
WICHITA — Machinists union leaders are recommending members reject Cessna Aircraft's contract offer and strike when they vote Saturday.
The union received Cessna's seven-year offer today.
"We must report to you that our negotiations with Cessna were not successful," the union told workers this morning.
The negotiating committee tried to partner with the company to save jobs, Machinists District 70 directing business representative Steve Rooney said in a statement.
"But Cessna instead chose to use the economic downturn as an opportunity to gut the contract, and saddle employees with extreme and punitive measures," Rooney said.
Job security in the contract is limited to keeping the final assembly of the Citation product line, the union said.
One of the biggest areas of contention is health insurance.
Cessna's parent company, Textron, "demanded that all employees switch to United Health Care, a 'consumer-based health care plan,' the union said.
The union called the insurance a "cousin" to the Definity plan.
Under it, premiums rise by up to 160 percent, the union said, and will cost employees and average of $4,000 to $5,000 more per year, it said.
The contract also:
* Provides a $2,500 lump-sum bonus in 2011 and a $1,000 bonus in 2012.
* A one-time $2 increase per month per year of service in the pension plan for the length of the contract.
* No general wages increases for four years, and a 1 percent wage increase in each of the last three years for some workers.
* A "performance pay" system that is not tied to executive bonuses.
The current agreement expires Sunday.
Members of the Machinists Local Lodge 774 will vote Saturday at Century II on whether to accept the contract.
Acceptance takes a simple majority. A strike requires two-thirds of those voting to vote in favor of a work stoppage.
If members reject the contract but do not have enough votes to strike, the contract is accepted by default.

Week 9 homework
Week 6 homework
Week 5 homework
Week 4 homework
Week 3(2) homework
10sec – It is geometrical and interesting. It is very light, elastic, and calm. 30sec – Get to find more details about it. More time to view the subtleties. 2min – Repetitive, predictable, boring. 5min – Mesmerizing, introspective, I believe it can be an effective aid for meditation. 10min – Relaxing, therapeutical, reliable, algorithmic, certain. Approximately 704 points.
Week 3(1) homework Afraid of Shiffman
Scale – My ball changes its size depending on how far Shiffman's ball is. Density – It is a heavy atmosphere, very saturated shifting from red to blue as a resource to illustrate the tension of the moment depending on the proximity of the balls. If Shiffman's ball is near, everything turns red–alert, otherwise, everything turns blue–calm. Rigidity/Elasticity – When Shiffman's ball is less than 55 pixels away, my ball transforms into a square for a second as a resource to represent max. alert, shifting from elastic to rigid. Energy level – The state of alert is present all the time, however, it peaks when the balls are close. It is expressed changing the color of the background, the color of my ball (which tries to mimetize) as some animals do when feeling danger. One versus crowd – It only involves two elements, a predator and a victim.
Week 2 homework
Week 1 homework
Patterns for our presentation. In our first group meeting, we decided to think about patterns as stimuli for the five senses. This decision reminded me about Jinsop Lee's TED Talk "Designing for all 5 senses" in which he argues that the more senses involved in a design experience, the better. (http://new.ted.com/talks/jinsop_lee_design_for_all_5_senses). With this condition in mind, I came up with the following patterns. Pattern 1: move a projector around the classroom while projecting a video. I think that this idea is very powerful because it involves a pattern (the video) within a pattern (the rotation). The idea was to add a spatial dimension to the video, moving the viewers into thinking about the reasons behind such a decision. Pattern 2: playing music with thimbles. I was thinking about an interactive activity to engage the public in the performance. Giving everybody thimbles to play to the rhythm was a way for doing it, including two senses-sound and touch in a single activity. Pattern 3: doodling to the rhythm. As the 2nd pattern, the idea was to include two senses in one activity-touch and sight. I think that doodling is interesting because it allows people to connect with their inner-selves.

R #2, Box 371-13, Buckhannon, West Virginia
Back in the middle '60s, I hung my hat out in Southern Iowa, in a tiny town called Cincinnati, not to be confused with the one in Ohio. I worked with a manufacturing concern that made farm equipment and other things. I also worked at a machine shop. I told you this so you will understand this: while working at the machine shop, I got to see a lot of old iron of various kinds. I sure liked to hear the pop-pop-pft-pft-pft!- some of the sweetest sounds I ever heard! I had to have one!
I had a bunch of small air cooleds of various kinds. I kept the neighbor kids well supplied with go-karts and scooters. I enlisted the help of several of the young'in's to help find some old iron. Believe me it worked! I was informed that the local junkyard had some, about seven or eight. Actually, they had six and I got 'em all. That got me started.
Over a period of three years I acquired about a dozen or so more. My favorite was a little IH make and break. (If anyone out in South Iowa runs into a little IH 1? HP that is black with gold pin striping, it is very likely my PET!)
That was then.
I sold out and moved back to my home state of West Virginia. I now have half interest in a garage/machine shop. I got working with old iron again and it opened the gates for all the old memories, so here I am, collecting the old ones again.
They are not as plentiful and definitely not as cheap as they were 30 years ago. That's not to say you can't get lucky. I still hit the local scrap yards, enlist the help of friends and neighbors, and once in awhile run a trade ad in the local swap sheets and car trader books. I found a very nice old pre-war Briggs at one of our flea markets.
You may note in the pictures that accompany this, that at this time, I don't really have anything pretty or exotic-just some nice old iron-My Menagerie.'

|Cheap Trick
The 2016 inductees into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame have been announced, and without a doubt, all of its nominees are deserving of the honor: rap act N.W.A. along with 1970s era rockers Chicago, Cheap Trick, Deep Purple and Steve Miller. The induction ceremony will be held on April 8 in Brooklyn's Barclays Center with HBO televising the event later that spring. While delighted for the Class of 2016 (especially Deep Purple who practically birthed heavy metal with "Smoke on the Water") one question must be asked: why not Chic, Nile Rodgers' influential disco band, who in its 10th year as a nominee, still failed to win induction.
The full list of 2016 Rock Hall nominees (including all nominated, not just those ultimately chosen for induction) was stellar: Chicago, Cheap Trick, Deep Purple, Steve Miller and N.W.A. along with Nine Inch Nails, the Smiths, Janet Jackson, Chic, Chaka Khan, the Spinners, the Cars, the J.B.'s, Los Lobos and Yes.

You Save: $445.61 (54%)
SKU: HAL-7721-24Calculate Shipping
Keep your school's heaviest supplies and equipment on Hallowell's Extra-Heavy-Duty Closed Shelving. Shelves are made from gray powder-coated, extra-heavy-gauge, cold-rolled steel and supported by 14-gauge steel posts with 11-gauge steel sway braces. Shelf corners are lapped and resistance welded for extra strength, and the tubular front edge is designed to protect against impact.

Well, not really, but since I was dressed as a geisha (albiet a naughty geisha) and was at the same time mistaken for a prostitute, and I'm a tranny, I just thought the title was fun play on words.
Anyway, here's what happened: It was like any ordinary Halloween for any ordinary woman... or at least 75% of women. By that I mean, I was dressed like a slut! It WAS, after all, Halloween, right? Well, apparently if your a transsexual it means something more than just dressing up and having fun with your friends. Apparently it means you're willing to trade sex for money.
I was standing in the entry way to the club where the big Halloween party was, talking on the phone to my date while I waited for him, and this jacked-up penis-substitute of a pickup truck pulls up. The guy yells out the window, "Hey you workin'?" I first thought he's just talking to one of the other people, maybe a friend of his, about like real work or something. Then he shouts the question again, and I realize it's directed at me and that he means, "working" in the world's oldest profession sense. I cast him a disgusted, dismissive look and turn away while I continue with my phone conversation. Then he persists and shouts to me, "$600 for 2 hours" while he motions to him and his girlfriend. I try to wave him off, shoo him away, with my free hand and he repeats himself a couple more times before he finally says, "Whatever!" in a very pissed tone and squeals away.
I was apalled by this very embarrassing situation and actually kind of hurt! Why, when I'm dressed no different than most of the GGs who were milling about all around me, does he assume I'm the one who is a willing sex worker? He wouldn't have dared to shout such things at one of them, I'm sure. Is it because I'm a tranny? Does being a tranny mean I'll desperately jump into bed with any asshole who approaches me on the street with money? Was he angry because, he thought I should have been flattered by his offer? Did he think I should be greatful because I am a tranny and I MUST be desperate? And $600!? For 2 hours!? Was I supposed to think that was generous... cuz I'm a tranny? Grrr!!

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Dozens of dead cats were found in freezers in a Long Island City storage unit.
Police told CBS2's Tracee Carrasco 40 frozen cats were found in two freezers, but it's hard to tell exactly how many because some of the cats were frozen together.
Cats were found wrapped in bags as one skinned cat was also found in an aluminum serving tray. There were two to three other cats found in another tray.
The ASPCA will have to let the cats thaw out to see how they died.
Police said the storage unit was rented out in May 2014 to a woman from Brooklyn who was paying month-to-month, but in July she stopped paying.
Police have yet to find the woman, who they believe is in her 60s, 1010 WINS' Glenn Schuck reported.
The cats were found after the storage unit went to auction, with the winning bid coming in at over $400.
In addition to the cats, trash, books and papers were found in the unit.
Officers said the odor of the dead cats was horrendous.
The NYPD Animal Cruelty Squad is investigating.

A house cannot be complete without an attractive roof. The roof protects our house from various external factors like heavy wind, storm, heavy rainfall etc.
People usually want to customize their roofs according to their needs and taste of design. For this, they require a professional who can manage to do all the work correctly and properly. You may also contact a quality & professional roofing company in Seattle for best and affordable roofing services.
Lots of residential roofing materials are available in the market. Below given are some of the roofs that you can look for your house.
Asphalt shingles are normal roofings. These are low priced roofing's of fiberglass but are not very protective they might get damaged easily. Thatched roofing gives an old-style touch to your roofing and but are environment-friendly.
While pine shake roofing requires a lot of construction time. They use lifeless pine trees for this work but this roofing is very costly and requires a tremendous amount of work. This eventually uses lifeless trees and very pricey since it needs tremendous work.
Green roof covering is also environment-friendly, in this a building or home is covered with small vegetation over a water resistant membrane or layer.
Some people choose metal roofs over these roofs because of their longer durability but these roofs are not that much attractive they are made of galvanized steel. These roofs are economical.
Always discuss with your roofing contractor that which roof is more suitable for your house. Make sure that your contractor is certified and experienced.

Please let me know if you're looking for a author for
your site. You have some really good articles and I feel I would be a good
asset. If you ever want to take some of the load off, I'd absolutely love to write some
content for your blog in exchange for a link back to mine.
Please shoot me an email if interested. Regards!
Hi, I think your blog might be having browser
compatibility issues. When I look at your blog site in Ie,
it looks fine but when opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping.
I just wanted to give you a quick heads up! Other then that, superb blog!
Quality articles is the key to invite the users to visit the
web site, that's what this website is providing.
Wow, wonderful blog layout! How lengthy have you ever been running a blog
for? you make running a blog look easy. The full glance of your website is excellent, as well as the
excellent issues altogether, you simply received a new reader.
What might you recommend in regards to your post that you just made a few days ago?
Any positive?
Very energetic article, I enjoyed that bit. Will there be a
part 2?
I'm amazed, I have to admit. Seldom do I encounter a blog that's both equally educative and amusing,
and let me tell you, you have hit the nail on the head. The
problem is something which not enough people are speaking intelligently about.
Now i'm very happy I found this in my search for something regarding this.
Great delivery. Sound arguments. Keep up the amazing work.
I drop a comment when I like a post on a blog or I have something to valuable to contribute
to the discussion. Usually it's triggered by the fire communicated in the
post I browsed. And after this article به یاد تو - ارامشم.
I was moved enough to post a leave a responsea response :)
I actually do have 2 questions for you if it's allright.
Is it just me or does it look as if like a few of these responses appear
like coming from brain dead people? :-P And, if you are writing on other places, I'd like to
keep up with you. Would you list the complete urls of all your public
pages like your Facebook page, twitter feed, or linkedin profile?
Glad to be one of several visitants on this awe inspiring web site :D.
First of all I want to say terrific blog! I had a quick question which I'd like to
ask if you don't mind. I was interested to find out how you center yourself and
clear your head before writing. I have had difficulty clearing my thoughts in getting my ideas out there.
I do take pleasure in writing however it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are usually lost just trying
to figure out how to begin. Any ideas or hints? Cheers!
I am very happy to read this. This is the type of manual that needs to
be given and not the accidental misinformation that is at the other
blogs. Appreciate your sharing this best doc.
I love your blog.. very nice colors & theme. Did you design this
website yourself or did you hire someone to do it for you?
Plz respond as I'm looking to construct my own blog and would like to find
out where u got this from. cheers
Highly energetic blog, I liked that a lot. Will there be a part 2?
These are actually great ideas in about blogging.
You have touched some nice factors here. Any way keep up wrinting.
Your mode of describing all in this piece of writing
is actually good, every one be able to effortlessly be aware of it, Thanks
a lot.

And So It Begins…
Today was the first day of seminars, presentations and classes. Since I coordinate the Leisure Time Activity program I try to pop in and out of all of those classes in case a presenter needs something or has questions etc. I don't normally stay for the entire class…unless it's something I'm interested in learning.
