When we moved to our new house (tomorrow will mark three weeks!) we used a large 55-gallon plastic tub to hold our two box turtles until we could build a new habitat for them. I filled the bottom with a bag of shredded bark and said a heartfelt prayer for their safety and well-being.
Well, everything was going fine(-ish) with the temporary quarters until our baby turtle, Casper went missing. Doug was working out of town for a few days and I hadn't see Casper at all, so when he came home he was given the potentially bad-news-task of digging in the bark to find a baby turtle.
The good news is that Doug found her and she was just fine. Bad news is that we discovered the reason she was so hunkered down was an attempt to hide from Rex, our male turtle who is seriously in the mood for love. L.O.V.E. And in such cramped quarters there was no escaping him without burrowing to the bottom.
|This little hut had been a bird house until we moved and I dropped it and the whole thing broke apart. I salvaged the top of it and thought it would be cute in the turtle pen...
|I was right. ;o)
Rexy and Casper really like it too. It was fun to put them in their new space and watch them exploring it. This space has so much potential, and I can't wait to get some grass and other plants growing in there. We also need a few more areas for them to hide, and a better water source, but at least they are out of the plastic tub! And Casper has some space to move around and hide if/when she wants to.
In other pet news, Lucky the dog is a bit obsessed with being able to see and smell the turtles in his backyard. Now prayers are for this new habitat to keep the turtles in, and one very curious pup out.

Fashion from design to production, is very labour intensive and there are a lot of things one must know to end up with a decent garment. So generally designers specialise in what they enjoy and hire talented people to do the rest.
I'm advanced in things like textiles and print design as well as complex screen printing. I'm confident on a cutting table at production time and know my way around basic pattern making. However I've always been dubious (shit scared) around a sewing machine.
My first introduction to sewing was in an industrial production house with french trained vietnamese makers who could whip up a tailored shirt in under 4 minutes. Very intimidating to a beginner, considering the industrial machines are so powerful not even a finger getting in the way will stop them sewing right on.
I overcame this fear when I turned 30 earlier this year and requested from the family a brand new machine for my birthday, Hooray! I also have the safety net of a very talented bestie who sews like she was born with a bobbin in her hand.
So this is less of a 'how to' and more of a 'wholly shit if I can do it so can you'. Be warned traditionalist or perfectionist, this beau-tie creation step by step might make you scoff and throw something. But if you're o.k with mis-matched cottons, cutting on the floor and the occasional spot of spilt vodka soda, then here's how to make the cutest bow-ties for your beau:
Start with a perfectly good bow-tie:
Take your favourite new friendly un-picker:
Kill it! Kill it DEAD! Seriously though, dissecting stuff and remaking it is a good way to practice.
Don't be a nerd and create a pattern, that's a waste of cardboard and vodka time. Lazily pin the pieces to some neato spotlight sale fabric:
Be extra lazy and fold your fabric layers over when you cut the big bow bit to make double bows so you can have a double bow layer thing with potential for colour clashing, for added preppy chic.
One thing that is annoying but important, your grain lines must go in the right direction, this is a good habit so always check your 'selvedge' or the 'edge of your fabric' runs in the same direction as the grain line on your pattern piece.
Now sew some shit! Make little pillows with the opening in the middle on one side. I put 'facing' on the bow bits to reinforce them as the gingham is kinda thin.
Turn your little pillows inside out and iron them too (I know ironing is the devil's work).
Create little tubes like mum showed you, with the pin and feeding it through and it's kinda frustrating if you're a fumble fingers so here's where the Vodka comes in.
Remember your 'pattern' showed you how to make the pillows look like bows, aww!
Add your little middle bit, as well as the long strappy bit, note the contrasting cotton; sign of a lazy sewer
Add some elastic on the edges and bow-tie hook and eye
Look at the cuteness! Kanye would totes wear this!I call this one Ralph Wiggam:
And this one is Milhouse:
And this one is Martin Prince:

Overloaded Functions

In C++, there can be several functions with the same namethe "overloaded" functions. For example, the Standard Library contains the functions
double pow(double, double) and
float pow(float, float), in addition to other overloaded versions. The first function performs the exponentiation of a double number by a double exponent; the second version does the same operation, but with a
float base and a
float exponent.
The expression
pow(3., 4.) invokes the function
double pow(double, double), while the expression
pow(3.f, 4.f) invokes the function
float pow(float, float).
Yet, the expression
pow(3., 4.f) is illegal, as is the expression
pow(3.f , 4.), because such expressions are considered ambiguous by the compiler. The ambiguity comes from the fact that there is no overloaded version exactly matching, and the attempt to implicitly convert the parameters to match an existing overloaded version leads to several existing overloaded functions, and the compiler can't decide among the candidate versions.
The rules to bind a function call to the corresponding overloaded function are rather complex, and the situation is often complicated further by implicit conversions. Actually, a constructor that gets only one parameter and that is not preceded by the implicit keyword lets the compiler perform an implicit conversion from the parameter type to the type of the class containing that constructor. A type-conversion operator lets the compiler perform an implicit conversion from the class containing that operator to the type declared as operator.
With such grammar, it's sometimes difficult for programmers to forecast which function will be chosen by the compiler when compiling a function call expression, or if the compiler will surrender at an ambiguous expression.
Although the ambiguity lies in the application code, not in the library code, a good library should be designed so that it is unlikely that typical application code will be ambiguous.
Therefore, there is a need to test the usability of a library, checking that unreasonable usage is forbidden and reasonable usage is allowed. This can be done by preparing a series of typical uses of the library, some reasonable and others unreasonable, and to verify that every reasonable use of the library can be compiled and every unreasonable usage is spotted by the compiler as an error.

Brewing Report
Did some brewing maintenance today.
Here are my notes for Brew 19: Cabernet Sauvignon
- 2005-11-13 SG Reading 1.102 Brewing Day
- 2005-11-15 SG Reading 1.042 Those yeasties work fast!
- 2005-11-17 SG Reading 1.026
- 2005-11-19 SG Reading 1.012
- 2005-11-19 SG Reading 1.004 It's tasting like a beaujolais nouveau, and I can taste the CO2 dissolved in it. Tastes good so far.
Racked. Actually, just removed the v-vessel ball and reattached it. It's now officially in secondary fermentation stage. In 10 days it will be time to stabilize.
- 2005-12-14 SG Reading 0.096 Stage 3. Added 4g Potassium Metabisulphite and 5.5g Potassium sorbate, stirred vigorously, added 2 packs of Chitosan. Removed the oak bag. Really starting to taste more like Cabernet now. This was about 10 days later than I expected, I noticed when I stirred it that it had considerably less outgassing than the last wine I made. I wonder if this represents an advantage to having a busy schedule. In 10 more days it will be time for the clarification stage.
Here are notes for Brew 20; the Blackberry Honey and Cherry mead.
- 2005-11-30 SG Reading 1.082 Brewing Day
- 2005-12-07 SG Reading 1.065
- 2005-12-14 SG Reading 1.036 Still bubbling, but starting to slow down. This is really good. The honey and the cherry flavors seem nicely in balance.
