Techblogs exploded today with what might be called the deal of the day (yes day, with the current pace of buys, sells and computer geek star recruitment, the IT world is changing literally in a daily basis), but still the question remains: WHY?
Why did eBay bought Skype? What will they do? How can they profit?
Well, in my stupid opinion, if anyone wants to "buy itâ€, we'll have to look at this deal as "Let's buy it before Microsoft does†or "Skype is better than Google Talk, so let's buy itâ€. These are stupid, yes, but it has some logic. At this time, we have four variables in the IT Universe that might change the "balanceâ€: Apple, Microsoft, Google and Yahoo. And now eBay wants to play big.
- One – eBay has PayPal, a formidable service that's used for more that auction payments. PayPal might be considered a pseudo bank, and who owns a bank controls the "money flowâ€.
- Two – eBay has Skype, a well established VoIP network infrastructure that's growing every day. VoIP is the future of voice communications, no doubt, it's prices are much more affordable than regular and mobile phone calls, so there's competition and profit here, even more when Skype Video is released.
- Three – eBay is… a auction / trading company, living of transaction fees… this is the piece of the puzzle that doesn't fit. For now, eBay is not using Skype for site support calls with operators. It might prove to be useful in the future, to outsource or even license the technology, or just like they did with Paypal. Imagine a mega site that can operate as a Support Call Center for commercial websites. In the future, yes, but not for now.
PayPal will be used to buy more Skype Credits, that's for sure, but this would mean nothing to eBay, other that a fem millions more using PayPal.
In my true opinion, Skype won't be used / merged with eBay. I think we'll be seeing eBay investing in more Skype In/Out infrastructures and creating new services, as Skype Video, to create some income. Videocalls is something that telecommunication companies still can't provide at a low cost. Either way, it's that or selling it to one of the four variables.
Now… eBay buying Amazon, that would be something…

The immediate past Commissioner for Physical Planning and Urban Development in Osun State, Architect Muyiwa Ige, has reiterated that, if utilised accordingly, the Architects Registration Council of Nigeria (ARCON) Act 2004 will eradicate quackery in the architectural practice in the country.
Ige, who was a two-time Chairman of the Nigerian Institute of Architects (NIA) Oyo State Chapter, said the professional recognised by law to design any building and ensure supervision is the architect and that all the interlopers (quacks) that are trying to take jobs from architects have been silenced.
"Recently, at the State House of Assembly in Osun, a presentation was made by me on the Urban Regional laws. I said the ARCON 2004 Act is the law that has empowered the practice of architecture and so the draftsmen are not recognised by law", he said.
His words: "This shows that there are a lot of opportunities for architects in Nigeria and as a result of this, I am of the opinion that architects must take their rightful place now".
Ige, who is seeking election to become the new Third Vice President of the institute at its bieenal general meeting which will end in Abuja on Saturday November 21, said the age long rivalry between Nigerian architects and their foreign counterpart is nowhere to be found now as Nigerian architects have performed more excellently over the years.
There is no competition with foreign architects because there is nothing that they know that we don't know better. The truth of the matter is that the ARCON Act states that only architects registered in Nigeria that can practice. Yes, foreign architects are coming in because the world is a global village but they must have a Nigerian architect on the minimum as a director of the company.
"If we all practice genuinely and professionally, there is no need to get into each other's way. Most importantly, we must protect the jobs of architects and we must ensure that the fees are commensurate with the work they perform and that the Nigerian architect must take the lead in the built environment in the country" he added.
Speaking on his ambition, Ige promised to be in the vanguard of ensuring that the institute grow membership with young architects who will end up being the future of the institute.
When I shall have won the election as the Third Vice President on November 21, 2015, I will ensure that all my energy will be used to elevate the institute till I eventually become the President in 2021. I will make sure that I will be in the vanguard of growing membership and ensure that young architects come to the fore and take their rightful position in the built environment. Issues like registration of young architects and that of registration of schools are going to be adequately addressed".

I decided to take a peek this morning at AM Costa Rica, 'Your daily English-language News source Monday through Friday', with the hunch their would be more editorials on the Barny Frank, Chris Dodd fuck-up. Appears I was right.
Don't know the story? AM Costa Rica published a news article and instead of sticking to the facts, they decided to interject their own opinion by writing a little sarcastic quip deriding the character of Mr. Frank and Mr. Dodd. Anyone who has a basic understanding of the dos and don'ts of reporting, knows this is a Journalism 101 don't, as this article was not an editorial or commentary, just news. "Just the facts ma'am."
So, this morning, AM f'in Costa Rica decides to print 2 more editorials by random dumbasses (and ones a supposed lawyer)to rationalize their position on Barney Frank.
The headline of the first editorial:
So, the writer of this editorial is some lady named, Barbara C. Johnson. She worked with Frank over 30 years ago........that's right 30 years... and based on that experience working with Frank, over 30 years ago, she says he's economics illiterate. Here's a little more of her experience:
'Barney Frank campaigner says he's economics illiterate'
"Barney gave his attention to those already politically well-connected and catered to them. He was, even then, pompous and evaded any serious questions about serious matters."Whatever, he might be everything this Barbara says... although the statement is a vast over-generalization...just sayin'. Don't know and actually, don't care. But I know this- it has nothing to do with AM Costa Rica interjecting their sarcastic quip in a news story.
Here's the other editorial today, this one from Edward Baecher. Starts this way:
"If some do not like your commentaries, rather than the never ending belly aching, they should not read it anymore. I have faith that the staff at A.M. Costa Rica are aware of freedom of the press."Then Mr. Baecher goes on to rip Barney a new one. Whatever, it's an editorial, his opinion, so again, whatever.
And that's the point Barbara and Edward, AM Costa Rica was presenting NEWS, they were not writing an editorial or commentary and the fact they printed your dumbass rationalizations just makes them appear more bias, because there's NO possible way they didn't get more shit from the likes of people like me.
AM Costa Rica, you're pathetic.

Great emoji set!
So glad to find these emoji to share with the beautifully, curly-haired woman I love. And BTW, this is how emoji's work with that much detail and animation (yes, GIFs!). They're larger than standard iOS system emoji and require you to paste them in after selection. No biggie. Maybe Apple will some day make the process easier for third-party developers to add emojis to iOS keyboards. But for now, this is amazingly great—and free! And with multiple skin tone options!
I'm loving this app!
I've always been a little sad my emojis didn't have curly hair. When I found this app I was overjoyed! There are so many curly hair emojis for me to finally express myself! This is such a great app!

Over one in five (22 per cent) providers are working for 2015 rates, having not had a fee increase for three years, the National Care Association has said in a new briefing paper.
Launched at its annual social care reception held at the House of Commons on Wednesday 5 December, the briefing paper also reveals new National Care Association research, which shows:
- 87 per cent of members do not receive adequate fees to sustain their business
- 68 per cent of members have recruitment issues
- 63 per cent of members receive less than £700 in fees.
The Association says the Government must bring forward a sustainable plan for social care sector and for local authorities to ensure service users are funded based on their assessed care needs. It also calls on the newly-appointed interim chief inspector for adult social care and registration, Debbie Westhead, to develop a regulatory framework that is consistently applied across the country. She replaces Andrea Sutcliffe, who leaves at the end of the year to take up the role of chief executive and registrar of the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC).
Nadra Ahmed, executive chairman of the National Care Association says: "The Green Paper promises much but will it actually deliver anything? Is it not time to start to take action rather than work out strategies?
"We have wasted three decades on not being able to address what was predicted so I think it's time to work on the action plan…we can only challenge government to Dare to Care.."

"Justyce McAllister is top of his class and set for the Ivy League—but none of that matters to the police officer who just put him in handcuffs. And despite leaving his rough neighborhood behind, he can't escape the scorn of his former peers or the ridicule of his new classmates. Justyce looks to the teachings of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. for answers. But do they hold up anymore? He starts a journal to Dr. King to find out.I honestly wish there was more to this book. I wanted more pages than what was given to me so I was left feeling a little disappointed with how the book ended.
Then comes the day Justyce goes driving with his best friend, Manny, windows rolled down, music turned up—way up, sparking the fury of a white off-duty cop beside them. Words fly. Shots are fired. Justyce and Manny are caught in the crosshairs. In the media fallout, it's Justyce who is under attack."
This book was powerful, no doubt about it, but I was expecting a lot more from it. The first 80 to 90 pages of the book I was left unimpressed. I was left frustrated with the writing style and how the story was progressing. I just felt that the book itself was unfinished and could have been expanded on more that would have been amazing. It was like this book was the bones of a story and nothing more, no muscle and tissues to make it whole.
"Them fools don't wanna hear when they're being offensive. They couldn't care less what it's like to live in our skin."The second half of the book was where it got interesting and I started to get interesting for me. I got used to the writing style, even though I still didn't love it, and I was more invested in his story. The way he was treated after the run-in with the cop made the book more real and intriguing.
I was still left feeling like there was more than was unsaid by the novel. SJ and Jus's story could have been expanded on, Manny's character just switched on the issue of his friends so easily, and Jared's story... I just felt that the character development was there just not written down in a way that was understandable to me. I needed more of an explanation and more information before I could really believe what I was reading.
I loved the premise and idea behind Jus's story, but I felt that the execution left more to be desired. The second half of Dear Martin was what saved the book for me.
Rating: 3 out of 5 stars!

Veteran outside linebacker James Harrison remains under contract with the Steelers for another season, and is due a $1.25MM base salary for 2016. However, it remains to be seen whether Harrison, who would be the NFL's oldest defensive player, will return for one more year. Among those interested in Harrison's decision on his future? His teammates in Pittsburgh.
Steelers guard Ramon Foster tweeted to Harrison today, asking whether he's coming back for 2016, to which Harrison replied, "I can't say for sure but it's looking good for the home team!" Agent Bill Parise tells Ed Bouchette of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette (Twitter link) that his client has yet to make a final decision, suggesting that may not happen until camp, but it sounds like Harrison may not be ready for retirement quite yet.
Here are a few more items from out of the AFC North:
- Alabama defensive tackle A'Shawn Robinson is visiting Pittsburgh and meeting with the Steelers today, per Mark Kaboly of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review (Twitter link). Even in a strong draft class for interior defensive linemen, Robinson projects as a probable first-round pick.
- Ravens GM Ozzie Newsome says wide receiver Breshad Perriman and left tackle Eugene Monroe making good progress from their respective injuries, as Garrett Downing of BaltimoreRavens.com writes. Perriman, a 2015 first-round pick, has resumed running but is still working to get back to full strength.
- Ravens assistant general manager Eric DeCosta says the team has talked extensively with Eastern Kentucky outside linebacker Noah Spence, as Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com writes. "We've studied him at length and we'll make the best decision for the team," DeCosta said.
- As we detailed earlier, free agent wideouts Hakeem Nicks and Mike Williams worked out today for the Bengals.

After Rudolf Abel regained his freedom during 1962, in a spy swap between the US and the USSR, he was reunited with his wife Yelena and his daughter Evelyn.
The family flew back to Russia, together, where they lived until Abel died.
For the rest of his life, nearly everyone knew the master spy not by his real name—William (Willy) Fisher—but as Rudolf I. Abel (the name of his deceased friend and comrade which Fisher first used at the time of his 1957 arrest in New York).
Not until Yelena successfully fought for a year, to change the name on his tombstone from "Abel" to "Fisher," did people know who the master spy really was.
In this touching picture, taken in 1971—the year of his death—we see Willy Fisher / Rudolf Abel with his wife, Yelena. It is part of the Ogoniok Archive and was provided by the Fishers' daughter, Evelyn, during a 1997 interview.

The "All the Hits" Tour features iconic hits and classic album tracks that trace Elton John's incredible five decade-long career; It also includes a selection of songs from his highly-acclaimed album, Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, which recently celebrated its 40th anniversary with a Deluxe Edition.
Elton John's band includes musical director Davey Johnstone (who first recorded with Elton in 1971 and joined the band a year later) on guitar; Nigel Olsson on drums, part of Elton's original three-piece band; Matt Bissonette on bass; John Mahon on percussion; and Kim Bullard on keyboards.

Elton has sold more than 250 million records worldwide. He holds the record for the biggest-selling single of all time, 'Candle in the Wind 1997', which sold 33 million copies, as well as for most appearances on Billboard's Adult Contemporary chart, with his 2013 single 'Home Again' marking his 69th entry. He has also written the music for stage and screen successes Billy Elliot, The Musical, Elton John and Tim Rice's Aida, and The Lion King which was recently named the highest grossing stage show or film release in the world.

Learning languages as an adult
People often say that it's easy to learn languages as a kid, implying that it's much harder as an adult or even near impossible.
But it is possible! Why? Find out below.
Because you're an adult
Being an adult means age and experience. This gives you an advantage in learning languages. You encountered a few languages in your life. You can choose which one you want to learn and which one will be beneficial for you and your future (work, perspectives). You can decide how you will go about the process of language learning and adjust it to your schedule.
You know what motivation is and you can use it effectively to excel in your learning progress. Why do you want to learn languages? Are you passionate about foreign languages and just want to learn for yourself? Do you want to learn languages because you will stand out at work or will be able to do business with foreign clients?
The choice is yours
You can choose the best method of learning languages based on your experiences. As opposed to being forced to learn a language with a method that is forced on you, which can not only bring no results but can also discourage learning. You should base your choice on your learning style, character and preferences. Learning grammar books by heart and filling out exercises may not be for you. But how about audiobooks and a learning app? Choose what works for you!
As an adult you have many possibilities when it comes to learning languages. You can study abroad, make friends with people from foreign countries, talk with native speakers online. You can do many things that you wouldn't have access to as a child.

Magnitude 7.3 earthquake hits Japan's Fukushima prefecture, with a tsunami warning on its heels
Japan's previous earthquake, a magnitude 9.0, devastated its economy, including videogame exports.
The Associated Press reported a magnitude 7.3 earthquake off the coast of Japan's Fukushima prefecture.
In the wake of the earthquake, a tsunami warning for waves as big as three meters (or 10 feet) was issued. Residents are advised to evacuate Fukushima immediately.
The Shacknews staff sends its thoughts to Fukushima's residents as well as those who have family in the area.
Loss of life is the most tragic consequence of any natural disaster. On a smaller but important scale, the economic impact as a result of disasters has lasting effects that make it difficult for survivors to pick up the pieces. Following the magnitude 9.0 earthquake in Tohoku in 2011, Japan's economy ground to a halt. Video games, one of the country's biggest exports, were affected.
The 9.0-magnitude quake occurred off Japan's coast and kicked off tsunami waves up to 10 meters (33 feet) that ravaged Japan minutes after the quake died down. As a result of the disaster, stocks for companies including Nintendo, Square Enix, Sony, and Bandai Namco (then Namco Bandai) at the Tokyo Stock Exchange dropped. Hardware and software shipments were delayed; games that showed scenes of devastation were cancelled so as to avoid controversy stemming from sensitive content.
Numerous publishers and developers threw themselves into relief efforts to help their peers in the east. Zynga raised $1.35 million within 36 hours of announcing that players who purchased in-game items for titles such as FarmVille would go toward relief.
NHK World is providing ongoing coverage of the disaster in Fukushima.

Tuesday, September 27, 2005
In the month Nisan of the twentieth year of King Artaxerxes, when the
wine was in my charge, I took some and offered it to the king. As I had
never before been sad in his presence, the king asked me, "Why do you
look sad? If you are not sick, you must be sad at heart." Though I was
seized with great fear, I answered the king: "May the king live
forever! How could I not look sad when the city where my ancestors are
buried lies in ruins, and its gates have been eaten out by fire?" The
king asked me, "What is it, then, that you wish?" I prayed to the God
of heaven and then answered the king: "If it please the king, and if
your servant is deserving of your favor, send me to Judah, to the city
of my ancestors' graves, to rebuild it." Then the king, and the queen
seated beside him, asked me how long my journey would take and when I
would return. I set a date that was acceptable to him, and the king
agreed that I might go. I asked the king further: "If it please the
king, let letters be given to me for the governors of
West-of-Euphrates, that they may afford me safe-conduct until I arrive
in Judah; also a letter for Asaph, the keeper of the royal park, that
he may give me wood for timbering the gates of the temple-citadel and
for the city wall and the house that I shall occupy." The king granted
my requests, for the favoring hand of my God was upon me.
As Jesus and his disciples were proceeding on their journey, someone
said to him, "I will follow you wherever you go." Jesus answered him,
"Foxes have dens and birds of the sky have nests, but the Son of Man
has nowhere to rest his head." And to another he said, "Follow me." But
he replied, "Lord, let me go first and bury my father." But he answered
him, "Let the dead bury their dead. But you, go and proclaim the
Kingdom of God." And another said, "I will follow you, Lord, but first
let me say farewell to my family at home." Jesus answered him, "No one
who sets a hand to the plow and looks to what was left behind is fit
for the Kingdom of God."
Nehemiah held an official position in the court of Ataxerxes, King of
Persia. He may have been the king's chief wine merchant and head wine
waiter. Nehemiah desired to go down to Jerusalem and there to help his
people rebuild the Temple and the city. He was deeply anxious however
that the king's anger might be stirred up, should he request a leave of
absence from his job at court.
Nehemiah prayed over the matter for several months, urging the Lord to
be propitious to his desire to rebuild Jerusalem. Then, trembling (for
absolute monarchs normally give absolute freedom to violent emotions
that rise within them), he asked for a leave of absence to go to his
ancestral city to help rebuild it and its Temple. The Lord heard his
prayer and granted his request.
Nehemiah must have been a man of prayer. He seems to turn to it
instinctively, speaking with the Lord as though in an intimate
conversation with him. Nehemiah does not give expression to the fear
that surely must have gripped him at that moment. There is only the
simply request, "I be well received by the king."
It's possible that Nehemiah's prayer used no words. Perhaps he simply
opened his heart to God, knowing that neither his thoughts nor his
emotions were hidden to him. God would read there his fear of what
might happen, his unquestioning trust that God would mercifully protect
him. And God heard Nehemiah's prayer. The king granted his request.
The periodical, Bible Alive, commenting on our passage from Nehemiah,
cites an unnamed `wise teacher' in regard to prayer: "Pray as you can,
and not as you can't." We might remember this suggestion when we find
prayer difficult. It may be that we are allowing too many rules and
regulations to hinder our prayer. It may be we will find prayer
difficult even when we pray as we can. But the odds are that it will
be a far deeper prayer experience than if we were trying to
pray as we can't.
"Take, O Lord, and receive my entire liberty, my memory, my
understanding, and my whole will. All that I am and all that I possess
you have given me. I surrender it all to you to be disposed of
according to your will. Give me only your love and your grace - with

HOUMA � Here in this corner of Cajun country, English is still a second language for some, and French a first. And so a Terrebonne Parish School Board member�s recent suggestion to make English the dominant language at graduation ceremonies has opened controversy, as well as old wounds.
HOUMA � Here in this corner of Cajun country, English is still a second language for some, and French a first.
And so a Terrebonne Parish School Board member�s recent suggestion to make English the dominant language at graduation ceremonies has opened controversy, as well as old wounds.
The issue arose because of words spoken in Vietnamese. But many of the area�s older French-speaking residents remember a time when uttering a short phrase in their language could land a student in trouble.
Local Vietnamese people say they see the proposed rule as an affront to those who
want to honor family.
The proposal from board member Rickie Pitre involves creating a common
graduation procedure for all of the district�s four high schools, common even down to the language used in speeches.
Pitre has since qualified his suggestion, stating he would prefer graduates speak
in English first and � if necessary � make a brief statement in their native language.
The matter, among other suggested changes to graduation ceremonies, is still to be considered by a committee formed to study commencements.
Cindy and Hue Vo, who are cousins, say they used Vietnamese during their valedictory addresses at Ellender High School�s commencement, to recognize their family members who are not fluent in English.
Cindy Vo spoke a short phrase in Vietnamese, while Hue Vo spoke in that tongue for several minutes.
Audrey George, a retired educator and Francophile who owns a local bed and breakfast, is among local residents disturbed by Pitre�s plan.
When she heard about the School Board�s consideration of the rule, George said, she felt �angered and stupefied.�
George recalls visiting Ellender as a School Board member in the 1970s. While there, she saw a Vietnamese father scolding his daughter for not finishing her homework.
The father struggled to find the words with his limited English, she said.
�He was there to tell the principal that he approved of whatever discipline action they would choose,� George said, remembering the father�s concern. �I thought that was very commendable.�
George is now a member of the Council for the Development of French in Louisiana, or CODOFIL, which works to preserve and promote native Cajun culture, especially the French language.
George said CODOFIL is drafting a letter to the School Board in opposition to Pitre�s suggestion.
The American Civil Liberties Union plans to make a statement this week.
George spoke French as a child with her 15 brothers and sisters. When she and
her twin sister, Maudrey, entered school, both knew a few phrases.
�We were immediately made to understand that if we spoke French that�s we would
punished,� George said.
For speaking French to her twin sister, George said she was made to stand on one
foot in the corner. A writing assignment was a more common punishment,
scribbling the phrase �I must not speak French in school� over and over as
demanded by the teacher.
The school�s unwritten English-only rule was intended to make French speaking
children learn the language faster.
�It was a very traumatic psychological experience. But it never daunted me,� George
said. �The only repercussions I had was I did not look forward to speaking in front of
�Remember first and foremost we are Americans. We must learn English to achieve in a competitive society,� she said. �But what enriches our country now and
forever is that we remain different and appreciate our different ethnic groups that
make up our country.�
Saturday night on La. 182 just north of Houma, the guitar and keyboard sounds of
Gene Callahan and Hubert Francis made for a party atmosphere at the Bayou Delight restaurant.
Couples two-stepped and a few women line-danced. Many of the revelers said they
spoke French.
So does Callahan, now 70, who recalls being placed in back of the class at
Dularge Elementary School by educators, along with two other boys who spoke only French.
�When I started school I could not speak English at all,� he said. �I learned English
and I finished school but the other two did not.�
He was critical of Pitre�s proposal, which he has heard about. Callahan said a lot of
people speak other languages in the area, and it seems only natural that some should want to use snippets in those tongues for school speeches.
Vietnamese residents say they understand why graduates felt compelled to speak
to their parents at the Ellender ceremonies, considering their relatives may not
speak fluent English.
Sochen Lam, owner of Jensen Seafood in Dulac, said he arrived in the United
States in 1978, about three years after the fall of Saigon and the end of the Vietnam
Both of his sons attended Ellender High, the 60-year-old Lam said, and he always
pushed them to earn good grades.
�You work hard in school, I will work hard here,� he told his sons. �We don�t have an
education here. I don�t have enough English. We trust in our children and hope they
do well.�
Van Lam, his son, graduated from Ellender in 1997 and attended Louisiana State University. Now 29 years old, he is an attorney in Baton Rouge.
Van Lam said he saw many Asian- American valedictorians use their native language during commencements.
�The reaction is very moving. Most of their parents only speak Vietnamese,� he said.
Cultural diversity adds a special flavor to the graduation proceedings, he said. Sharing language also has the power to bond.
Pitre agrees that the south Louisiana culture in 2008 is multi-faceted, and that his goal was not to discriminate against any one group.
�We are a culture of diversity,� he said, dominated by the Cajun people. �But not to the extent that we want to be the center of the culture. English binds us together.�

Skillet Pork and Peppers:
from Food Network Magazine
1 large pork tenderloin (about 11/2 pounds), trimmed
Kosher salt
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 small onion, thickly sliced
2 red and/or yellow bell peppers, sliced into wide strips
6 cloves garlic, smashed
16 fresh sage leaves
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1/4 cup sliced pickled pepperoncini, plus 2 teaspoons liquid from the jar
1/3 cup dry white wine
2/3 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
You may want to start on the rice first depending on the cook time for it.
Preheat the broiler. Slice the pork on an angle into 1-inch-thick pieces; season with salt. Heat a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat; add 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add the onion and bell peppers; season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook until the vegetables are crisp-tender and slightly browned, 4 to 6 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
Add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil to the skillet. Add the pork and sear over high heat until browned, 2 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer the pork to the plate with the onion and peppers.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the garlic, sage and tomato paste to the skillet. Cook, stirring, until the tomato paste turns brick-red, about 1 minute. Add the pepperoncini slices and their liquid, then pour in the wine and bring to a boil. Add the broth and return to a simmer.
Arrange the pork in a single layer in the skillet; add the onion and peppers and sprinkle with cheese. Transfer to the oven and broil until the pork is cooked through, 4 to 7 minutes.
How about some rice with this? Minute Rice would work fine although I do prefer Basmati…

The following organisations support the Food Forest Ashburton proposal
Sustainable Gardening Australia – Letter of support for Ashburton Food Forest
Alamein Neighbourhood and Learning Centre
What:Come and find out about the exciting proposal for community food forest which is at 38 Winton Rd Ashburton! Come and share your ideas, give us your feedback, get involved at our interactive stall. Meet some of the local community members who are working on this innovative community sustainability project.

Where: Winton Road Reserve, 38 Winton Rd Ashburton
When: Sat 21st July 10:30-12:00
kids are welcome!
The Have Your Say Day has been organised by City of Boroondara departments for Environment & Sustainable Living and Parks & Gardens, together with the Food Forest Ashburton Group and the Craig Family Centre.
The proposed food forest involves planting a range of fruit and nut trees with supportive understory in a portion of the reserve. A proposed first stage would see around 12 trees planted, with potential for additional trees to be planted in a future stage.
There would be an all-abilities gravel path and the draft landscape plan also allocates a space for a potential park shelter in the future. The planted area would remain open to the public, and the plantings would be maintained by the FFA Group and interested community members, with Council support.
The draft design will be refined based on advice from Council and feedback from local residents.
Give us your feedback and ideas on the design!
1. Come to the Have your say day, 10:30-12:00 Sat 21st July at Winton Road Reserve
2. Comment via this blog

Stage 1
Stage 1 plus future stage
A food forest is a replication of a natural forest ecosystem but with edible plants. Food forests recreate forest ecosystems using trees, shrubs and herbs that are useful for humans. As in a forest there are several layers and microclimates which support a variety of plant life, microbes in the soil, insects, lizards and birds. Plants are intercropped essentially creating a polyculture landscape of edible plants.
When established food forests are sites of incredible diversity and abundance. The mix of shrubs, ground covers, and fruit trees produce an abundance of food all year round. Food forests are different from conventional orchards or vegetable gardens in that they are relatively self sustaining, pesticide free and enhancing for a vast array of bioorganisms (including humans!), they are places that support life.
To see video examples of food forests go to:

What do you think of the food forest? Complete Council's quick online survey at http://www.boroondara.vic.gov.au/ashburton-food-forest
A community survey about the Food Forest was undertaken by the Craig Family Centre between Dec 20th 2011 and Jan 31st 2012. This preliminary survey was used to gauge community support and feedback for a possible community food forest on three potential sites in Ashburton (all located on council managed land). All houses within a 250m radius of each site were delivered a survey with a return prepaid envelope.
The findings show that there is wide support in Ashburton for the community food forest concept. For the full report and findings click here- AFF Survey summary report

Screening tests offered by Audiologie Centre-Ouest
Hearing problem is a major issue with the people of this century. The reasons which govern this problem are due to the hearing of loud music or the hairs in the ears get damaged. The major causes of this problem are:
Internal Ear Cell Damage
Ears are made with a delicate audio mechanism and are the best example of audio signal receiving systems. It has a set of tiny hairs in the inner part which respond to the sound waves with the pressure. This moment triggers the ear cells and this tends to release the electrical signal from the auditory nerves to the brain. The further brain interprets the signal and receives as a sound. Now, if in case the hairs in your ears are bent or they have broken, then they tend to leak these electrical impulses to the brain and this cause tinnitus.
Other concerning causes which leads to tinnitus are the natural hear problems, accidents, internal ear injury, self-made injury while cleaning the ears with ear buds etc. Also, there can be the trouble with the brain sensing system. But at this center, the professionals can work out in a better way to offer you complete relief from these issues.

Freedom's Journal was the first African American owned and operated newspaper in the United States. It was first published on September 14, 1827. Peter Williams Jr. and other free African Americans in New York City founded the newspaper and their goal was to appeal to the other 300,000 African Americans in the Northern United States. The last slaves were not freed until 1827 which is when the paper was first published. Samuel Cornish and John B. Russwurm were selected as the junior and senior editors of this publication by the founders.
It was important for these men to strengthen the common identity of African Americans in society with their new-found freedom. It provided the people with international, national and regional information regarding current events. The editorials opposed slavery and other injustices that African Americans regularly experienced. It was a great source of information for African Americans. It published biographies of prominent African Americans in society and listed their births, deaths and marriages. This helped to celebrate their achievements and allowed them to feel more like people instead of simply slaves who's lives did not matter. In addition to the 11 states it reached, the newspaper also circulated to the District of Columbia, Haiti, Europe and Canada. In addition to celebrating the achievements of African Americans, it also employed 14-44 subscription agents.
This paper reflects the impact that news and media can have on a society, even as early as the 1800s. This publication allowed African Americans to have a sense of purpose after discovering their freedom. It allowed them to have an outlet to express their thoughts and feelings and celebrate each other as a community of free individuals. Read archives from this paper here.

The Most Serene Republic of Genoa was an independent state from 1005 until Napoleon put an end to so much in 1797. During its heyday it claimed territory as distant as Syria (most of these far-flung territories were conquered by the Ottoman Empire in the 15th century). On May 17, 1229, Rapallo swore absolute fidelity to the Genoese Republic and by an act effected in the Palazzo dei Fornari di Genova, became a Podesteria. A Podesteria is a district administered by an official called a Podesta, usually of the noble class, which we would today call a Mayor. Until 1608 the Rapallo Podesteria was under the aegis of the Chiavari Captaincy. In 1608, owing to its increased historical and strategic importance, Rapallo was elevated to its own Captaincy which included the towns of Santa Margherita Ligure, Portofino, Zoagli and parts of the Val Fontanabuona.
On Sunday (May 12) about thirty Rapallesi in marvelous costumes re-enacted the celebration of the constitution of the city as a Captaincy. After the parade there was a program at the town Bandstand. which recreated the presentation of the city to the Capitaneato,
Here are some photos of the re-enactment (all I could think as I was watching it was how much more colorful, peaceful and fun it was than an American Civil War re-enactment.
It was by the luckiest of chances that we happened upon this re-enactment. We had gone to town to meet someone, and just stumbled on what should have been the main planned event of the week. What I loved most were the costumes – there's a part of me that wishes we still dressed like this – maybe not the hats, though a good veil is always an excellent accessory. I love the long dresses that fall from an empire waist, with slit sleeves – it's all impossibly wonderful.

Eggs Benedict
This is one of my favorite breakfast meals. In this version we are going to replace the English Muffin with a Coffee Mug Muffin made with coconut flour. Coconut flour of course is grain and gluten free, but it does have carbs so be careful. We just use one tablespoon here so that's only 5 grams of carbs. Lets go…
Put on a small pan of water to poach the eggs then make the muffin. To access the Coffee Mug Muffin recipe, click here!
- 2 whole eggs
- 1 tsp white vinegar
- water for poaching eggs
- Protein for your Eggs Benedict like Bacon or Smoked Salmon like I used here
- 1 tbl water
- Juice from half a lemon
- 2 tbl butter
- 1 egg yolk
- pinch of salt
- pinch of cayenne pepper
- Make the muffin
2. Turn muffin out on plate
3. Let cool a minute or two
4. Slice into 4 pieces
5. Toast on top of toaster
6. Meanwhile, bring the water to a simmer in a shallow pan. Add vinegar (this will help keep the eggs from spreading out too much). Crack the eggs open and carefully place the egg in the water. Be careful, don't boil your fingertips! I turned my eggs over to cook the tops a bit. Use a slotted spoon.
7. Place the toasted coconut muffin bread on the plate
8. Add your protein, which in my case is Smoked Salmon. You can use bacon, pork belly or Canadian bacon
9. Remove the eggs from the water with a slotted spoon and let excess water drip off. Place on top of protein.
10. I dumped the water and used the same pan to make the hollandaise sauce. Put the water, lemon, egg yolk, butter, salt and pepper into the pan.
11. With the flame on low, stir with a whisk. As the sauce gets hot the egg yolk will thicken. Don't overheat or your eggs will scramble! Lift the pan off the heat to lessen the heat. If your sauce starts to break, add a tiny bit of cold water and whisk.
12. Put the sauce on top of the eggs and enjoy! A sprinkle of chopped chives would have been nice, but alas! No chives in the house! But you get the idea! 🙂

The school library, and the librarians that work within them are a wonderful, and sometimes overlooked resource for educational technology support, providing invaluable help and knowledge for teachers and students.
Library Resources and Their Role in Education
Educational efforts over several years have seen the positive involvement of libraries in education by offering their referral services, information and teaching resources. Individual tutoring programs and educational classes, besides their outreach to specific people's groups with educational handicaps taken up now by libraries, alludes to their active and enhanced involvement in education. Distribution of resource materials to institutions, including hospitals, prisons, homes for the disabled and aged, rehabilitation centers and groups with education-related problems and adolescents involved in crime, unemployment and the like, makes a visible impact on their education.
The goal of information literacy is access to the right learning resources, which includes a variety of technologies; in fact, such technologies as microfilm were one of the first pieces of technology people had access to in their local library. When computers were first put in schools, the school library was often the first place they would go, and the librarian would help teach students and teachers how to actually use them. Today, libraries continue to serve as points for the public's first exposure to new technologies. The traditional domain of a librarian—information literacy—is more closely linked to educational technology than we might imagine.
library spaces have been transformed into physical and virtual "learning commons" in order to support student inquiry and collaboration both during and outside of the school day. They included makerspaces that have been created to provide students with hands-on, interest-driven, collaborative learning opportunities that socialize learning and design.
Analyzing the role of a 21st-century library from the perspectives of its chief librarian, and its efforts in education and research with a longstanding obligation to motivate improvement and preserve records of the development is part of the evolution process. The developments of the not too recent past, after the advent of IT, have pushed the way we communicate, learn and work, into one with a revolutionary pace. New business infrastructures, healthcare, academic research, economic development and social interaction have sprung from the arrival of networking, data storage, new innovative software and microprocessors, thus providing for direct access to all information, eliminating the legendary intermediary, and thus gaining on space and time. We are fast progressing into the realm of visual learning. Digital technology is changing the way we read. Digital libraries with its perception on visualization are the need of the hour for schools, colleges, universities and even for higher education. Textbooks, audio lessons, videos and tutorials in digital formats can radically transform the educational system in both rural and suburban areas, by leaps and bounds. Advanced digital technologies throw open the door for educators to reinvent visual learning. Educators can now integrate visual education with digital learning by a useful merger of the teaching process with image technologies.
With the advent and advancement of the E-libraries, education is set to become even more accessible resourceful and quality oriented to students using computers or tablets.

With his design of the stadium, Kuma wants to express a new image of post-industrial Japan. "The style is very contemporary. The attitude is not the same as a nostalgic traditional building," he says.
The design stems from his philosophy of making buildings part of the natural landscape. This is a sharp contrast to the concrete-and-steel legacy of Kenzo Tange's Yoyogi National Gymnasium, built for the 1964 Summer Olympics. Today, Kuma's vision of Japan is a softer one.
The design stems from his philosophy of making buildings part of the natural landscape.
"After the Great (Bamboo) Wall, we had a lot of overseas projects. I began to think that 'Japanese-ness' is very ambiguous. Even inside Japan we have different cultures, different climates," he says.
"My philosophy is to work with the [local] place, not the country. 'Japanese-ness' is more related to the detail; the perfection of the details."
He adds that sustainability is now the most important theme for his practice. "Chinese clients are very much focused on sustainability. It's sometimes more important in China than in Japan. China is very sensitive to preservation."

Sega has revealed that Platinum Games' Vanquish has managed to sell 820,000 units since it was launched towards the end of 2010. Figures which were below their estimates, according to a statement.
Vanquish was Sega's second biggest selling title of the fiscal year, behind Sonic Colours, and Sega blamed the slow sales on "sluggish personal consumption."
Vanquish should top one million sales at some point, and it would certainly be deserved. We reviewed the game last year and it received a 9/10. It was also nominated in our Game of the Year awards.

Hannah is turning one next month. Yup. One month. Looking back at some of her newborn photos, I can still remember the first few days of her life like it was yesterday. She came into this world, kicking and screaming. At the hospital, one of the nurses made her a special "girl" beanie with a bow…Read More
Between rhythm and chaos
Hannah is six months old. Six months. How that happened so quickly is a mystery to me. I was still pregnant during my last post… Life with two has been expectedly busy. I've managed to work a little, here and there, between panic attacks. Mostly, I've been falling more and more in love with my…Read More

I'm officially on maternity leave now. You may have already learned the news from Instagram, in less than five weeks, we are expecting a new baby girl. Eep!! For the last month or so, I've been in nesting mode, sorting, purging, and organizing—trying to get the house in order for this baby. Of course, I started with every other room,…Read More
Tilden Steam Train
The Tilden Park Steam Train is probably one of Nick's favorite rides. Over the summer, we took full advantage of their summer hours (open weekdays) and took him almost weekly. These photos from are a few months ago, but it was such a cold (and wet) morning, it almost didn't resemble August.Read More
My parents used to say, 'time goes by fast when you're an adult.' What used to sound like old people talk, now I completely get. It's hard to believe our Monterey trip was almost a year ago, and a week of June has come and gone already. When my brother and I were kids, our parents used…Read More
Cooking with Chelley
My best friend, Michelle, and I have been toying with the idea of creating a food blog for years now. It's an excellent reason to get together regularly and cook up a meal. Finally, inspired by our friends' blog, we've decided to start cooking! The first meal, a carrot themed dinner, was kept small and intimate,…Read More
Some weekends are better than others. A weekend in Monterey, following a busy season of work and personal obligations. Taking Nick to the aquarium for the first time. Listening to his nonstop chatter during his very first bike ride. And finding sand in every. single. place. Doesn't get any better than this.Read More

M.A.C. Soft and Gentle is a MSF (Mineralize Skin Finish). It's $29 for 0.35 oz. Don't ask what exactly that is because I have no idea. Browsing through blogs I can only infer that they can be used as blush, highlighters, and even setting powders.
After my fail trial with Benefit's Watts Up I knew I wouldn't be looking for a cream highlighter anytime soon. Surprising enough, I hadn't seen too may reviews on Soft & Gentle (most likely cause I didn't really review it!) When I saw this at the M.A.C. counter I knew I couldn't leave without it. I rarely do that, surprisingly enough. I will usually at least look up ONE or TWO reviews about a product but not with this one.
This is a product I can see myself enjoying A LOT. So far I've used this every day and I LOVE it. I'd say to go check it out at your M.A.C. counter or store. It'd be a great summery highlighter, oh gosh, especially with a tan! It'll be all you need :)
What are some of your favorite highlighters? Have any of you ever used an MSF from M.A.C.?

Several people suggested I start my own blog, so with a bit of help from Alison, a bit of ingenuity on my part, and the grace of Google, here I am. I'd been posting comments and jokes on another blog, and I plan to continue at that site, so there may be some repetition of humor. However, I do plan to have other things to say.
For starters, who am I? My name is Don Meyer, and I live in Northern California. I am a handicapped widower, and because of my handicap, I cannot trim my own nails. So for several years now I have been going to a Vietnamese beauty salon for this service, and a little Vietnamese gal named Jenny has been doing my nails for, oh, perhaps a year or more. She is very soft spoken, but quite friendly. This morning she asked me something about where I lived -- on the first floor or the second. I replied that I lived in a mobile home, and there was only one level. She asked how long I'd lived there, and I said "38 years". Then I added that we (my wife and I) had purchased the coach when I was 40 years
old. I could see the wheels turning as she did the computation, and then she looked at me with astonishment and said, "You're over 70! You don't look it!" Well, thank you. You can make your own calculation.
The Google instructions tell me that I can post photographs and videos, so when I figure that out, I shall do so. And since I intend to include humor, here's a little one for starters:
Tech support: What's on your monitor now, ma'am?
Customer: A teddy bear my boyfriend bought for me in the supermarket.

Well I think the comments are working! As far as what's on my monitor - a little pink carebear! That is my daughter Carrie's nickname from her brothers, so it brings a smile to my face to think of her.ReplyDelete
Bring on the humor Don - you have become a folk hero in your own time!

You did it! Now Name/URL is one of the options, which it wasn't yesterday, so now I can comment. Congratulations on your new blog, Don!ReplyDelete

Many people have told me, this is the best Iceland itinerary I've seen! This makes me glad, because planning a trip to Iceland and determining an Iceland itinerary can be challenging. It's a country with so much to see and do and taste. When I sat down to plan our Iceland itinerary for our epic honeymoon road trip, I became instantaneously overwhelmed. For a few reasons:
- Despite it's size, it's astounding how much there is to see/do in Iceland.
- It's difficult to determine how much can be accomplished/driven in a day.
- Icelandic is a challenging language. The names of every destination is, obviously, Icelandic.
The above information, picture, title and text was all taken from the blog that is being referred to.

Instagram, Facebook, Kik Messenger, Vine, and 6snap. These are the top-five free apps currently in the Windows Phone Store. In the top-paid category, we see GPS Voice Navigation, Apict, Readit, MoliPlayer Pro, and Morfo.
Instagram, which rolled out a Beta version of their Windows Phone 8 app, is currently the top free app in the Windows Phone Store. This highly anticipated app has bumped Facebook down to second place. Microsoft has been rolling out updates for the Facebook app like crazy – this includes updates to the Beta version of the app. Vine and 6snap continue to round out the top-five free apps.
GPS Voice Navigation, which is currently the top paid app right now, provides turn-by-turn voice driving navigation with a choice of three map and routing providers (Google, Bing, or MapQuest). Apict, which is in second place, allows you to take a picture using your smartphone camera and quickly add an "instant camera" look to your picture. You can then upload that picture to Instagram or share via email or MMS.
Readit, an app that was recently updated to version 1.2 with numerous new features (literally), is in third place in the top-paid category.
MoliPlayer Pro is a paid app that lets you watch full 1080p MKV video files on your phone with no overheating issues. The app features great organization of video and music files when browsing your internal storage or SD card, as you can see from the picture above.
The Morfo app allows you to quickly turn a photo of your friend's face into a talking, dancing, crazy 3D character and then speak in a silly voice, disco dance, wear makeup, sport a pair of huge green cat eyes, suddenly gain 300lbs, and more.
Here are the top-five free apps in the United States based on popularity:
