Car Review
2013 GMC Savana Cargo: Overview
Pros: Huge capacity; mechanically simple and easy to work on; well-priced compared to rivals
Cons: Outdated design and interior; poor fuel economy
What's New: The GMC Savana Cargo is largely unchanged for the 2013 model year, except for a few new options. Those include a navigation system, a rearview camera and helpful rear park-assist.
The GMC Savana is a full-size van offered in cargo and passenger configurations. This overview applies to the Savana Cargo, which is sold without windows or rear seats, primarily for commercial users.
Like its Chevrolet Express sibling, the Savana is offered in three trim levels. Base-level models are called the Savana 1500, while the full-size van also offers higher-grade Savana 2500 and Savana 3500 models. The base-level Savana 1500 is only sold with the van's short wheelbase, while the larger models offer short or long wheelbase configurations.
Shoppers who pick a base-level Savana 1500 Cargo get a 195-horsepower 4.3-liter V6 mated to a 4-speed automatic. But drivers can upgrade to an optional 310-hp 5.3-liter V8 if they need to haul more equipment. We recommend the V8, as the V6 feels very taxed -- and fuel economy barely improves with the smaller engine.
For those who prefer the Savana 2500 or 3500, the van's 280-hp 4.8-liter V8 becomes standard. Heavier-duty models also offer the longer-wheelbase version and two engine choices: a 323-hp 6.0-liter V8 and a torquey 6.6-liter turbodiesel V8. That engine makes just 260 hp but produces a whopping 525 lb-ft of torque.
Inside, any GMC Savana Cargo is a stripped-down vehicle with few creature comforts. While its new options are useful, many shoppers are still likely to pick a fairly basic model. The Savana's base trims include air conditioning and a CD player, but go without useful features such as keyless entry and power windows.
Base-level Savana 1500 models start around $27,500, while an extended-length, diesel-powered Savana 3500 can run as high as $45,000 with shipping.

Email can be a terrible way to communicate. One such occasion is when trying to communicate planned time. As Nathan Cahill puts it:
"Plans are not easy to communicate over email. Whether you are planning a short trip or having a relative visit, you need to write it in calendar format."
And, fortunately for the rest of us, he went ahead and created Short Calendar, a web app that allows you to do just that – create your plan on a calendar and email it to whoever you need to.
Simple, free. Excellent.
Thanks to Brent Sordyl, who's blog post brought this service to my attention.

It may not be Kurt Russell's stunt car, but if a European company named Prevent is successful in its quest, the world will have the first "uncrashable" vehicle. As their name suggests, the approach they are taking does not involve any space age armor to avoid damage in the event of an accident, rather, the focus is on new technologies that prevent accidents from occurring in the first place. A list of some of these innovations are listed after the break.
WILLWARN: Uses wireless communication to warn the driver about potential hazards that lie ahead.
MAPS&ADAS: Alerts drivers to terrain hazards using sat-nav maps.
SASPENCE: Analyzes safe driving distances and speed.
LATERALSAFE: Keeps an eye on your blind spot.
APALACI and COMPOSE: Analyzes the speed and trajectories of other vehicles and pedestrians in real time.
The systems developed by Prevent are already being tested in the Volvo FH12, BMW 545i, Fiat Stilo, Alfa Romeo 156 and Mercedes E350, but they acknowledged that it would be "a while" before on-board vehicle computers are sophisticated enough to take advantage of this technology.

Overturned 18-wheeler causes road closures in Port Arthur
An 18-wheeler that overturned around noon Friday caused Port Arthur Police to close the portion of 73 east from State Highway 82 to U.S. Highway 69. The U.S. 69 South exit to 73 East is also closed, according to a press release by TxDOT.
Both may remain closed past 6 p.m. Friday evening, said TxDOT Public Information Officer Sarah Dupre.
"They are in the process of cleaning up more than 60 gallons of diesel," Dupre said.
Port Arthur Fire Department Battalion Chief Mike Free said there was a three-vehicle accident involving an 18-wheeler that spilled diesel fuel.
"I think there were two (persons) transported," Free said. "I'm not sure of their condition."
Dupre suggests drivers take an alternate route.

Hello Maki (and everyone else out there)!
Thanks for the awesome sites by the way, love every article and recipe! Anyway, i'm not sure if i should be posting this here but i recently bought some commercial mochi (made in taiwan as opposed to japan) and it tasted really good. Out of the flavours (azuki, matcha and peanut) I loved the green tea one the best so i looked at the ingredients on the back and it just simply stated the filling was made from green tea paste. I then searched the web painstakingly trying to find a recipe but didn't have much luck. Well, I did kind of but the recipe didn't seem (by seem I mean I didn't try it out but rather judged the ingredients) to be able to form a paste-like consistency just like commercial tsubuan's (it was just add water to matcha powder.) So I just want to know whether you have a certain way to make the paste to deem it appropriate to use as a filling for mochi? By the way, I've heard that matcha and green tea powder (from other countries) do not give the same taste, is it true?
Thanks a lot!
There used to be sort of speciality mochi dessert chain called "mochi cream" in Japan, but they may have expanded too much too soon as some of their franchise outlets were no longer trading on my last visit. But they had a matcha mochi cream variation - it had a sort of ice cream centre.
Basically, matcha goes well with creamy white chocolate or vanilla so you could use either taste, or anything sweet and milky, as a base for your matcha cream.
Wikipedia will tell you that "Matcha is made from shade-grown tea leaves" - but there is no way that everything labelled as being matcha flavoured could be produced with these very finest tea tips!
Is there a difference between Japanese matcha and powdered green tea from elsewhere?
For flavouring ice cream or custard or milkshake frappucinos I don't think I could tell the difference.
What is VITAL with 'matcha' is that it is fresh and not stale. I'd rather have some fresh non Japanese cheap powdered green tea than the finest shade grown matcha passed its best before date. Stale matcha is really horrible - thankfully, you can tell by the smell if it's gone off.
My advice is that you get the best matcha that you can happily afford, make sure it's nowhere near its use by date, and, once opened, keep it sealed in the fridge and use it as quickly as you can. Unless you know you'll be using a lot of it, get it in as small a can as possible.
To make a matcha cream filling with it, whisk a couple of teaspoons into a little hot water and then blend this into the creamy filling of your choice. Think of it as tea flavoured cocoa powder.
I imagine that mixing matcha with white bean paste would taste good. I've made hanami dango by mixing iced green tea powder with the mochi. The green tea powder was super low-quality and I wouldn't dream of drinking the stuff as per the box instructions, but it worked well for desserts. The taste was probably far from authentic, but it still tasted good.
Thanks both Loretta and another_amanda! I think I'll give both suggestions a try but I don't think I'll use the white chocolate since it'll be a bit too sweet. I had a few more mochis yesterday and it does seem that they use some sort of bean paste and then add colouring and matcha powder to it. I still haven't been able to find matcha powder speciifically so as a last resort I'll probably use chinese green tea powder. I'll let you know of the results when my experiment is over=D
If have some patience (and a pestle and mortar) you can grind your own matcha from green tea.
I once bought some high grade sencha from a posh London store called Fortnum & Masons and the tea was somehow too boring to drink (IMO a good tea should make you thirst for another sip after you swallow your last). I ground it in mortar with a pestle and discarded the leaf veins so that only a powder was left and used that to flavour desserts with.
It worked out quite well, particularly as I only needed to grind what I needed and the tea leaves lasted longer than powdered tea does before it becomes stale.
I think another_amanda's white bean advice is excellent. I do hope you get the matcha paste you're after - and that you'll report back!
Just an update on making your own matcha type green tea powder.
I completely went off caffeine whilst I was pregnant and have a few packs of mid range sencha that are a bit past their prime now, so I did a bit of experimenting.
Turning sencha into a powder you can cook with was easier than I remembered, you don't even need that much patience! Takes under a minute to grind a heaped teaspoon of sencha to a dust with a pestle and mortar. Then you just need to scoop up the powder and pass it through a fine mesh sieve (I used a metal strainer from inside a teapot). Whatever's left in the sieve, if it's still quite green (and not all straw and twig colour) you can just continue grinding to see if you can render any of it into powder and then discard the residue - you could even drop a pinch of sugar in there to help the grinding along.
I ended up with a generous portion of powdered green tea which dissolved easily in hot water and made very nice green tea ice cream.
Basically, the better and fresher the tea, the better the "matcha" powder you'll get from it. But I am surprised at what you can 'get away with' when it comes to sencha quality for making powder with.
I've proven to myself that high grade matcha can be a bit of an extravagance for some desserts. For occasional cooking use, grinding sencha seems much more economical and convenient.
I hope this helps someone!
I bought matcha from Lupicia (http://www.lupiciausa.com/product_p/12308007.htm). I love tea...and this place is a tea heaven. I like to make green tea ice cream, and it got expensive buying in little tins at the market. This one comes in a big pouch for a good price. I also sprinkle matcha on plain yogurt with honey, or make green tea soy latte.
I haven't replied to this because to be honest, unless I taste something or know exactly what it is, I don't really feel comfortable saying how something is made. I am guessing that the ingredient list is sort of incomplete there....and that the filling could be some sort of white bean paste, sugar and some green tea...but yeah, I'd have to taste it first. Sorry ^_^;
The Big Onigiri.
- Wherever you go, there you are. -
Someone told me to mix lotus paste with green tea powder... that would be a sweeter alternative to the white bean idea.
nice thoughts.....
the self pestle-and-mortaring aside I had GREAT experience with using the matcha flavor syrup I got from mizubashou sake company - nagai san, a friend produces it, I think.....
it was as good or better than the self ground sencha and its VERY convenient to put into icecram or better mix in.
I love it...
for details, I have just discovered your blog and am tres enchante. and of course have added it to my igoogle.
Perhaps a bit late, but I just got back from Taiwan and had the opportunity to make matcha in this little qauqaut restaurant about 1/2 an hour outside of Hsinchu:
You definitely need patience and a mortar and pestle.
Mortar and pestle was put in front of us with the ingredients alrady inside; it looked like:
3 tbsp of green tea leaves (NOT powder!!)
about 1/2 cup peanuts
about 2 tbsp pumpkin seeds
1 tbsp mango seeds
combine in mortar until completely smooth, a thick paste, peanut butter consistency
add hot water, never boiling, and whisk until the paste is completely incorporated.

Genome Tree Of Life Is Largest Yet For Seed Plants
by AMNH on
New York Plant Genomic Consortium Maps Evolutionary Relationships, Gene Functions For 150 Species
Scientists at the American Museum of Natural History, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, The New York Botanical Garden, and New York University have created the largest genome-based tree of life for seed plants to date. Their findings, published today in the journal PLoS Genetics, plot the evolutionary relationships of 150 different species of plants based on advanced genome-wide analysis of gene structure and function. This new approach, called "functional phylogenomics," allows scientists to reconstruct the pattern of events that led to the vast number of plant species and could help identify genes used to improve seed quality for agriculture.
"Ever since Darwin first described the 'abominable mystery' behind the rapid explosion of flowering plants in the fossil record, evolutionary biologists have been trying to understand the genetic and genomic basis of the astounding diversity of plant species," said Rob DeSalle, a corresponding author on the paper and a curator in the Museum's Division of Invertebrate Zoology who conducts research at the Sackler Institute for Comparative Genomics. "Having the architecture of this plant tree of life allows us to start to decipher some of the interesting aspects of evolutionary innovations that have occurred in this group."
The research, performed by members of the New York Plant Genomics Consortium, was funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Plant Genome Program to identify the genes that caused the evolution of seeds, a trait of important economic interest. The group selected 150 representative species from all of the major seed plant groups to include in the study. The species span from the flowering variety - peanuts and dandelions, for example - to non-flowering cone plants like spruce and pine. The sequences of the plants' genomes - all of the biological information needed to build and maintain an organism, encoded in DNA - were either culled from pre-existing databases or generated, in the field and at The New York Botanical Garden in the Bronx, from live specimens.
With new algorithms developed at the Museum and NYU and the processing power of supercomputers at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory and overseas, the sequences - nearly 23,000 sets of genes (specific sections of DNA that code for certain proteins) - were grouped, ordered, and organized in a tree according to their evolutionary relationships. Algorithms that determine similarities of biological processes were used to identify the genes underlying species diversity.
"Previously, phylogenetic trees were constructed from standard sets of genes and were used to identify the relationships of species," said Gloria Coruzzi, a professor in New York University's Center for Genomics and Systems Biology and the principal investigator of the NSF grant. "In our novel approach, we create the phylogeny based on all the genes in a genome, and then use the phylogeny to identify which genes provide positive support for the divergence of species."
The results support major hypotheses about evolutionary relationships in seed plants. The most interesting finding is that gnetophytes, a group that consists mostly of shrubs and woody vines, are the most primitive living non-flowering seed plants - present since the late Mesozoic era, the "age of dinosaurs." They are situated at the base of the evolutionary tree of seed plants.
"This study resolves the long-standing problem of producing an unequivocal evolutionary tree of the seed plants," said Dennis Stevenson, vice president for laboratory research at The New York Botanical Garden. "We can then use this information to determine when and where important adaptations occur and how they relate to plant diversification. We also can examine the evolution of such features as drought tolerance, disease resistance, or crop yields that sustain human life through improved agriculture."
In addition, the researchers were able to make predictions about genes that caused the evolution of important plant characteristics. One such evolutionary signal is RNA interference, a process that cells use to turn down or silence the activity of specific genes. Based on their new phylogenomic maps, the researchers believe that RNA interference played a large role in the separation of monocots - plants that have a single seed leaf, including orchids, rice, and sugar cane - from other flowering plants. Even more surprising, RNA interference also played a major role in the emergence of flowering plants themselves.
"Genes required for the production of small RNA in seeds were at the very top of the list of genes responsible for the evolution of flowering plants from cone plants," said Rob Martienssen, a professor at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. "In collaboration with colleagues from LANGEBIO [Laboratorio Nacional de Genomica para la Biodiversidad] in Mexico last year, we found that these same genes control maternal reproduction, providing remarkable insight into the evolution of reproductive strategy in flowering plants."
The data and software resources generated by the researchers are publicly available and will allow other comparative genomic researchers to exploit plant diversity to identify genes associated with a trait of interest or agronomic value. These studies could have implications for improving the quality of seeds and, in turn, agricultural products ranging from food to clothing.
In addition, the phylogenomic approach used in this study could be applied to other groups of organisms to further explore how species originated, expanded, and diversified.
"The collaboration among the institutions involved here is a great example of how modern science works," said Sergios-Orestis Kolokotronis, a term assistant professor at Columbia University's Barnard College and a research associate at the Museum's Sackler Institute. "Each of the four institutions involved has its own strengths and these strengths were nicely interwoven to produce a novel vision of plant evolution."

No. 22 Discount Tire Dodge Challenger News and Notes
• This Week's Challenger… Brad Keselowski and the Penske Racing Discount Tire Dodge Challenger team will use chassis PRS-222 during Saturday's Kansas Lottery 300 at Kansas Speedway. This is a brand-new chassis to the No. 22 fleet.
• The No. 22 Discount Tire Dodge Challenger in 2011... After 29 events, Keselowski and the reigning NNS champion No. 22 Discount Tire Dodge Challenger team are ranked seventh in the 2011 NASCAR Nationwide Series (NNS) owner point standings. The team is coming off a second-place finish in the OneMain Financial 200 last weekend at Dover International Speedway.
• Kansas Rewind… After starting the 2010 edition of this race from the eighth position, Keselowski noticed a vibration in the No. 22 car early in the event and lost a lap to the leaders while he pitted under the green flag. Keselowski was able to battle back to lead-lap racing – he eventually led a total of 38 laps – before finishing second in the race. With the finish, Keselowski extended his NASCAR record to 95 consecutive Nationwide Series race without a DNF (Did Not Finish).
• Keselowski Speedway Stats… In 96 speedway starts in the Nationwide Series, Keselowski has accumulated seven wins, 41 top-five finishes, 59 top-10 results and five pole awards. In addition, he has led the field for 1,285 laps at tracks between one and two miles in length.
• Follow Brad on Twitter… Fans can follow Keselowski on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/keselowski. Followers can get a glimpse inside his everyday life while keeping up-to-date on the latest Cup Series and Nationwide Series news for the Penske Racing driver.

Brad Keselowski on racing at Kansas Speedway
"Kansas is quite a bit different than some of the more traditional mile-and-a-half tracks, like Charlotte and Texas. It's really similar to Auto Club Speedway in California. There are obvious differences in size as California is a two-mile track. The straightaway speed is not quite the same, but the corners are really similar. You can also run all over the track at Kansas – from the high lane to the low lane. It's a great racetrack. I'm excited about going there twice a year because it is another one of those areas of the country where they support racing."
Crew chief Todd Gordon on racing at Kansas Speedway
"We're coming off a win at Chicago just a couple of weeks ago, so we feel great about our speedway package as we head to Kansas this weekend. Brad has certainly shown that he is one of the best in the garage on the mile-and-a-half tracks this season. Kansas is a smooth, fast racetrack. Where it looks similar to Chicago, it's much easier on equipment. Chicago has a rough surface where you worry about ride quality. At Kansas you focus on speed and balance. We'll take something from our notes packages from Chicago and from Auto Club Speedway and try to get back to Victory Lane this weekend."

A name for a band-aid used by a stereotypical "I don't need a hospital" kind of man.
Girl: Um, shouldn't you put a band-aid on that? It looks pretty bad.
Guy: I don't need a bitch sticker. It's fine.

I had to go to the store to get my wife some bitch stickers when she cut her finger while doing the dishes.
by stormin2929 October 04, 2015
Another name for a tramp stamp, which is a tattoo situated on the lower back. In contrast to the time-"honored" tramp stamp, a bitch sticker can be found on any woman, slut or not.
When my friend came by this weekend, she had a wicked new bitch sticker.

60.7 million people in the U.S. owned smartphones during the three months ending in October, up 14 percent from the preceding three month period, representing 1 out of every 4 mobile subscribers.[…] Despite losing share to Android, most smartphone platforms continue to gain subscribers as the smartphone market overall continues to grow.

The most popular smartphones are the Apple iPhone and RIM Blackberry, which are caught in a statistical dead heat with 27 percent of smartphone market share in the U.S. Twenty-two percent of smartphone owners have devices with the Android operating system.

I've been tracking the Nielsen data and using it as a basis for forecasting the penetration of smartphones. While most coverage of this data focuses on splits between current OS platforms, I will look at competition with non-consumption and the impact on operator services.


text: I'm trying to find a complete open source alternative to the incredibly expensive DNS GTM services such as Akamai GTM, UltraDNS, and TZO. And also these hardware solutions such as BigIP F5 GTM or Radware. The hosted services run from 1000-4000 per month and the hardware solutions cost between 20-30 thousand dollars. I've look around and don't see any complete open source options for a geolocation DNS with a failover capability at the DNS response level. PowerDNS with GeoBackend is almost there. The only thing left is the ability to setup a "pool" for HA capabilities. In a simple senario, you would have EAST and WEST coast datacenter with authoritative DNS in each location (NS1 and NS2). Then we'd have traffic getting routed to the EAST or WEST coast pool based on source IP location. Then within the EAST and WEST coast pools we'd have the public IP of a primary and a secondary location with some sort of health check to determine their availablity. DNS Lookup -> geolocation -> pool -> active node Does anyone have a complete implementation of these services together? If so, which products did you use? Or is there another option to replace these overly expensive services/hardware? TIA

Home Defense Plan: Couples working different Shifts
Greetings all. Long time un-registered reader of the forums, but finally joined up the other day & looking forward to contributing. Here goes nothin'!
Some background:
Live-in girlfriend works a 9a-5p desk gig, and I'm in the hospitality biz working 5p-1a. Although in a great, gated neighborhood in a nicer area of town, I made the effort to reasonably secure all entry points (nice lock&alarm on front & garage door, sliding glass doors and windows alarmed etc.), and am installing motion-activated flood lights around the exterior. All of this sounds great and reassuring on paper, but trouble can find anyone, anywhere, anytime.
The girlfriend is comfortable & competent shooting my HD handgun & shotgun, and has made the personal decision in advance to 'shoot to kill' if placed in a life-threatening situation. She's a rockstar. In other words, (and thanks to this forum), we have a pretty good plan in place thus far should 'It hit the fan.
My dilemma:
I typically arrive home around 1:15am many nights of the week. As part of our current routine, I do not announce my arrival home by text/phone call. She's a bit of a heavy sleeper (hence the alarm system), but my concern is that I'd like her to be able to react to a "bump in the night"/activity downstairs around 12:15am without just rolling over, dismissing it as my early arrival home. On the other hand, I'd also greatly prefer to avoid any friendly-fire =). I think it may be time for me to be sending her a text when I'm 10 minutes from the house so she can be at ease, however I feel a bit lousy waking her up at such an hour right in the middle of her REM/quality sleep cycle.
Perhaps I seem overly-paranoid, however my hope is that there are couples out there with a similar work-schedule variance or arrangement with their live-in that may be able to provide advice or their experience. Any tip or feedback is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I think the question here is how do you avoide freindly fire.
When I was stationed at Redstone Arsenal, Huntsville Al, in the early 70s my wife and I were confronted with this problem. We lived in a fair but transient neighborhod. My duties often required that I work late. My wife was home alone. Someone was watching and attempted to break in while I was at work.
Not knowing of the incident I was met with a scared female and a 30-30 Marlin when I quitely entered the house. I did so in an attempt not to disturb her as she had not been sleeping well.
We developed a system.
Knock loudly, Call M--- I'm home and then I unlocked the door, opened the door and once again Identified myself before entering. Once I was in the apt. I turned on the light and greeted my Large Lab.
I never tried to sneak into the apt and suprise her. Most friendly shoots occure when one of the parties trys to get cute and suprise to other either as a joke or some other reason.

Invest in a couple of Wi-Fi Cameras for the home and have a monitor in the bedroom, keep the bedroom door locked (real lock, not one of those interior locks that can be opened with a nail or something similar), and have a laptop in the bedroom monitoring the cameras. This is an assumption, but you probably have a computer, laptop, or even a tablet?
You come home in the wee hours of the AM and your GF wakes, she will know instantly whether it's friend or foe in the house. By having the bedroom door locked, it'll give those extra few seconds needed to shake off the sleep and grab a gun in the event of a BG in the house.
You can do this for about $250 total, including the lock, assuming you already have a laptop/computer/tablet.

For ~10, 15 bucks @ Radio Shack set up a little green light where she can see it from bed. You simply hit the switch when you come in the door. If she wakes up: Green light ok, no light, she arms up.

Thanks for the feedback everyone.
I like the suggestions to utilize some reasonably priced technology to allow her to gauge the potential for threat and act from there. I'll keep ya'll posted

I did shift work most of my working life. (cops have a habit of that).
We didn't have text's and such back then. Heck cell phones didn't really start to become popular until the end of my career.
Couples living together get to where they know when their spouses are coming home. Much like a dog can tell if its your car or someone else's car pulling into the drive way. She knows your footsteps and your habits as you approach your house.
Heck my wife could tell if I had a good or bad night before she even was fully awake.
Timing helps, even asleep my wife knew if it was your time or not. If I come home early, she would wake up, if I came home on time she wouldn't.
Often cops don't come home on time. Later but seldom early. Late wouldn't bother her, its part of being a cops wife. Too late and she'll wake up on her own and start to worry, that's when a courteous phone call on your part makes for a happy wife.
I came in more at night then the day time. I never worried about getting shot by my wife via "friendly fire".
But still, wifey could always tell when it was me coming home. We always had dogs, you can read an animal and pretty much tell who's walking up the steps. Wives get that way too.
One thing you never want to do is try to sneak in without disturbing the wife. Come in normal, in time you can do that without disturbing her. Sneaking in would cause problems, never did me, because I knew better.

I have a suggestion. You may feel it could work with you.
I am going to assume that your wife has a mobile phone. When she goes to bed, she sets it to silent, but with illuminations activated. The phone won't make a sound with in incoming call, but will be lighting up, flashing, what have you.
When you get home and put your key in the lock to open the door, you call the phone.
This means that you don't wake your other half unnecessarily every time you come home.
However, if the sound of you entering the property does wake her, she need only look at her phone to see if it is lighting up with your incoming call.
If you have already hung up, she can see a missed call from you in the few minutes preceding what has woken her up and therefore knows that you are already in the house anyway.
If she wakes from a sound, and there is no call from you, then she knows she may have trouble on her hands and act accordingly.
If, OTOH, she wakes to your curses and shouts, then perhaps you yourself have surprised an intruder, or you have stubbed you toe really badly. She can then leap out of bed with a gun in one hand and ice-spray in the other.
Everybody's a winner, except a would be intruder!
When the right to effective self-defence is denied, that right to self-defence which remains is essentially symbolic.
Freedom: Please enjoy responsibly.
Karma. Another word for revolver: because what goes around, comes around!

We have our 'married couple' code. I try to keep quiet but if she wakes she will yell "Ricky, is that you?" and the answer is "Lucy, I'm home" in a thick accent or some other answer that will keep a running joke running further. We know our code, and no answer or wrong answer is barricade, shotgun or 9mm and 911. The path to the bedroom will tell on the quietest intruder before breaching the barriers. Every couple will have similar codes that only they know. Use them to your advantage.

A dog would be a great addition and the perfect solution to your situation. If it's a good watchdog (loud barking alert dog) it would quickly get used to your schedule and anticipate your return, but alert if anything unusual happens, such as anyone but you returning home. You have a HUGE variety of breeds that make a good "Watch" dog so don't think you need a "Guard" dog.
I love an Australian Shephard for a watch dog, they are very suspicious of changes in environment and almost invariably will bark vigorously at a stranger near their "castle".

I'd love to get a dog at some point- however it's simply not feasible at this time.
She & I are sitting down tonight to come up with a combination of 'code-speak' as well as deciding upon a use of technology to get this plan in action.
Thanks again for the feedback, folks.

It's my first time making smooth silky soup and with this ugly beast -celery root. I know I'm lame. With chilly weather, warm soup comes first on the dinner menu list at my house. The weather sucks and I need something to comfort me. I've been wanting to make smooth soup and work with root produce. I guess this is the time - (just do it, T!). With busy schedules that took all my time and energy away from cooking, I finally overcame it and realized how much I missed cooking. It's worth it. I love it. The soup is surprisingly flavorful with a few ingredients. Nothing is new in this recipe but a classic is a good comfort food.
Leek has a mild onion-like taste, and is less bitter than scallion. The taste might be described as a mixture of mild onion and cucumber, with a fresh smell similar to scallion. In its raw state, the vegetable is crunchy and firm.
I changed and added a few ingredients. Feel free to tweak this to suit your taste buds.
Leek and Celery Root Soup
Yield: 6 cups
2 leeks, (use only white and light green part) halved, cleaned, and thinly sliced crosswise.
2 medium celery roots, peeled, cubed
1/2 yellow onion, thinly sliced
3 Tbs butter
1 Tbs olive oil
1 tsp cayenne pepper
2 cups chicken stock
2 cups water
Salt and pepper
Heavy cream
Creme fraiche or sour cream
Chopped chive
White truffle oil (optional)
Blender and big pot
- Heat up large sauce pan over high heat. Add butter and oil.
- Add leeks and onion. Cook until onion is translucent and leeks are getting brown.
- Add chopped celery root. Cook for a few mins. Add 1 cup of chicken stock. Cover and cook for about 20-30 mins until celery root is cooked through. During this process, if the liquid is evaporated, keeps adding stock or water.
- Season with salt and pepper
- Let it cool a bit before transferring to blender

Marketing Professor John Weber, who has extensively studied high-end business-to-business sales cycles, has identified 44 steps along the sales cycle where professionals are routinely tempted to compromise integrity in the interest of making the sale.
These lapses in integrity include:
•Pushing undesirable overstocked products
•Insincerely building rapport
•Giving kickbacks
•Distorting information about a competitor
•Using tech talk to the disadvantage of an uninformed buyer, to name a few.
These findings are critical because a company's overall reputation for integrity can ride in each and every contact between the salesperson and the customer.
Weber has prepared real-life case studies around these 44 points to help sales professionals and students self-discover the integrity issues at risk. He contends that when sales professionals consider these issues in an open-ended way, they discover the far-reaching implications of their actions and can pause to think creatively about alternative choices.

Furniture Trend Watch: Origami-Inspired Seating
Fast on the heels of the popular faceted, geometric, cut crystal trend in furniture design, origami-inspired shapes push the intricacy and beauty of angles to the next level. Origami, from ori meaning "folding", and kami meaning "paper", is the ancient Japanese art of paper folding in which a single sheet of paper is folded into complex designs without the use of cutting or gluing. Now designers are adopting this practice and turning thin metal sheets, cardboard, felt and even leather into practical and beautiful furnishings doubling as impressive works of art.
We've recently seen origami shapes become popular in felt wall hangings and paper lights highlighted on Apartment Therapy. Now, several interesting chairs and sofas allow you to incorporate a signature piece into your home, or even make a piece yourself!
Shown Above:
• Like origami, Carlos Tíscar's easy chair and sofa are built by manipulating angular sections of straight lines. What results is a chic and comfortable seating unit that gently hugs you from all sides. Price on chair starts around $1500. Via 2nd Floor.
• Mathieu Lehanneur has crafted a "Leather Island" that is designed to reconfigurate geometrically under pressure; allowing innumerous shapes when sat upon. Think of this investment as a grown-up beanbag. Price on request.
• The Flux chair is a stackable, collapsible, portable and outdoor-friendly beauty with an impressive set of numbers: 10.6: pounds the chair weighs, 352: pounds the chair holds, 21: number of chairs you can stack flat in 1 foot, and 10: seconds it takes to fold the chair flat, on average. Made of polypropylene and available in a rainbow of colors for $199 each. Via YLiving.
• Want an affordable and fun DIY project? Foldschool is a collection of free cardboard furniture designs which you can make at home by following the easy, printable patterns. Swiss architect Nicola Enrico Stäubli developed Foldschool to encourage families to create together - a printer, some cardboard and a pair of scissors are all you need to create fun furniture for your kids (and the kid in you). If you want to make adult-sized furniture, just enlarge the pattern and use thicker cardboard. Free!
• Designed by Andrea Lucatello for Cattelan Italia and manufactured in Italy, the Origami Modern Sofa can convert from a couch into a bed with a simple maneuver of the frame and can be ordered in eco leather, top grain genuine Italian soft leather and fabric upholstery options. $4388.86 + shipping. Via Spacify.

Farmers market always in season in Stonington
Stonington — Taking cover from the rain inside The Velvet Mill, shoppers chatted with vendors from across the region. Musicians played the violin and strummed the guitar as the aroma of fresh soup wafted by.
At the Stonington Village Farmers Market, customers on Saturday filled bags with the region's produce and winter specialties — from kale and butternut squash, to meats and cheeses.
At the market, which runs on Saturdays year-round, growers Paul and Jo-Ann Desrochers were selling Swedish turnips, leeks, garlic, fingerling potatoes and an assortment of heirloom beans they'd harvested in the fall.
"Everything you see here is what we freshly grow," said Jo-Ann Desrochers of both 18th Century Purity Farm in Moosup and Hall Homestead in Plainfield.
The Desrochers also were selling apples, including Connecticut originals, such as the Pound Sweet and Black Gilliflower. Paul Desrochers, who also helps run the market, showed off his expertise by pointing out the favorite apples of past presidents. Thomas Jefferson favored the Esopus Spitzenburg, while George Washington preferred the Newtown Pippen, he said.
The Desrochers said they take special care when they store each of the 80 apple varieties they grow — the Macoun thrives in very cold temperatures, while the McIntosh prefers a warmer environment.
While farmers markets may be more prevalent in the warmer months, shoppers on Saturday said they were glad to have a place to buy local vegetables in January.
After choosing some hearty winter vegetables and some grass-fed beef, Judy Treadway of Mystic said she loved the market's spacious venue and being able to shop locally year-round.
"For farmers markets to continue into the winter is good," she said.
Dawn Holmes of Essex stopped by the Sankow's Beaver Brook Farm stand for a sample of cheese, which she said was excellent. She said she comes to the market both for the Lyme-made cheese and for produce from other local purveyors.
"There's a wide assortment here," she said.
Several vendors said the year-round market has attracted a loyal customer base, as well as newcomers.
Pawcatuck's 1654 Davis Farm was offering fresh eggs and cornmeal, ground on the farm's premises and sold without preservatives.
"We have a good following of people who come back," Dara Karas, the Davis Farm's assistant manager, said. "You can't get this kind of corn meal anywhere."
Annie Chittenden of Madison visited the market with friends Saturday, scoping out local outlets where she might sell her own crafts. But while she was there, she also picked up some pea and broccoli sprouts from Aiki Farms in Ledyard and some advice on how to grow her own squash sprouts.
"I like to buy local and organic as much as possible, so farmers markets are where I like to hang out," she said.

With all the intensity in our domestic and political worlds lately, it's a fine time for an escape — sunset glinting through the drink in your hand. Let's fantasize about the 10 best seaside bars in Europe.
In Dubrovnik, Croatia: Cold Drinks Buza offers, without a doubt, the most scenic spot for a drink in Dubrovnik. Perched on a cliff above the sea, clinging like a barnacle to the outside of the city walls, this is a peaceful, shaded getaway from the bustle of the Old Town ... the perfect place to watch cruise ships disappear into the horizon. Buza means "hole in the wall" — and that's exactly what you'll have to go through to get to this place.
In Istanbul, Turkey: The double-decker Galata Bridge spans the Golden Horn, a historic inlet that separates the old and new towns of Istanbul. And all along both the horn and the bridge, you'll find dozens of inviting, no-name bars. Find a place to nurse some Turkish specialties: Drink an unfiltered, highly caffeinated Turkish coffee (which leaves a thick coating of "mud" in the bottom) or a cup of tea, and suck on a water pipe filled with flavourful dried fruit.
In Salema, Portugal: One bit of old Algarve magic still glitters quietly in the sun — Salema. This simple fishing village has three beachside streets, many restaurants, a few hotels, a couple of bars, a classic beach with a paved promenade, and endless sun. The Atlantico — right on the beach — is known for its fun drinks, friendly service, and a wonderful beachside terrace.
In Nerja, Spain: Ayo's is famous for its character of an owner and its beachside all-you-can-eat paella feast at lunchtime at Burriana Beach. For 30 years, Ayo — a lovable ponytailed bohemian who promises to be here until he dies — has been feeding locals. The paella fires get stoked up at about noon. Grab one of a hundred tables under the canopy next to the rustic, open-fire cooking zone, and enjoy the beach setting with a jug of sangria.
In Villefranche-sur-Mer, France: In the glitzy world of the French Riviera, Villefranche-sur-Mer offers travellers an easygoing slice of small-town Mediterranean life. Luxury sailing yachts glisten in the bay — an inspiration to those lazing along the harbour front to start saving their money when their trips are over. Le Cosmo Bistrot takes centre-stage on Place Amelie Pollonnais with a great setting — snag a table with views of the harbour.
In Vernazza, Italy: Ristorante Belforte's tiny, four-table balcony lets you sip your "vino della Cinque Terre" overlooking the Mediterranean from the edge of a stony castle. You can feel the mist from the surf crashing below on the Vernazza breakwater. And the views of the ancient vineyard terracing all around you makes the experience a highlight.
In Conwy, Wales: This Welsh town, watched over by its protective castle, has a particularly charming harbour.
On summer evenings, the action on the quay is mellow, multi-generational, and perfectly Welsh. Everyone is here enjoying the local cuisine — "chips," ice cream, and beer — and savouring that great British pastime: chasing little crabs. Facing the harbour, The Liverpool Arms pub was built by a captain in the 19th century. Today it remains a salty and characteristic hangout.
A ragamuffin village where the boy who became Captain James Cook got his first taste of the sea, Staithes is a salty jumble of cottages bunny-hopping down a ravine into a tiny harbour on the North Sea. There's nothing to do but stroll the beach and nurse a harbour-side beer or ice cream. The Cod and Lobster, overlooking the harbour, has scenic outdoor benches and a cosy living room warmed by a coal fire.
In Solvorn, Norway: Walaker Hotel, a former inn and coach station, has been run by the Walaker family since 1690 (that's a lot of pressure on eighth-generation owner Ole Henrik). The hotel, set right on the Lustrafjord, has a garden perfect for relaxing and, if necessary, even convalescing. I love to savour my coffee and dessert on the balcony with a fiord-side setting — mesmerized by Norwegian mountains.
In Barcelona, Spain: Before the 1992 Olympics, Barcelona's waterfront was an industrial wasteland nicknamed the Catalan Manchester. Not anymore. The industrial zone was demolished and sand was dredged out of the seabed to make pristine beaches. It's like a resort island — complete with lounge chairs, volleyball, showers, bars, WCs, and bike paths. Every 100 yards or so is a chiringuito — a shack selling drinks and light snacks, keeping locals and tourists well-lubricated.
Cheers! Europe is full of romantic places to swizzle stick your vacation cocktail. Feel the breeze, smell the sea, and enjoy the cry of the gulls — it could turn out to be your ultimate European moment.

And yes, Ana, I do see the point behind your ramblings, lol. Crap can happen no matter what...and now I'm forced to blame MYSELF for screwing the spell up (THA-ANKS!), lol. But I seem to be getting that the message is 'try try again', lol, so yeah, will do!
Posted 02 May 2004 - 09:31 AM
Posted 02 May 2004 - 09:58 AM
Tsk tsk.... don't go looking in books for spells. You're a capable woman! Write it up yourself! lol. Then again, you know my stand on using the works of ANYone else where witchcraft is concerned. You lose something personal along the way if it's not written by your own hand (or computer... whatever floats your boat).
I never use spells out of books, or if I do, I use only the bare bones basics of them and tweak them to my own personal needs.
So many times I have been on message boards and have read posts by newbie witches in response to people asking for spells, and they have actually posted spells that were shown on Charmed and Sabrina the Teenage Witch! LOL!
Correspondences are a very important part of spells, and what a lot of people do not realize is that correspondences are not one-size-fits-all.
When I first started as a practicing witch (31 years ago) I read everything I could find on correspondences, and somehow it never felt right. There would be references to "water elementals from the west" or "air elementals from the east". I live on the Gulf Coast of Texas. To me, the EAST represents water (with the Gulf being to the East), the west represents fire (with the desert and heat being to the West), the North represents air (lots of tornadoes to the North of us) and the South represents Earth. What you say in your spells has to have meaning TO YOU in order for you to be able to raise energy correctly. The same thing applies to colors and herbs that are used in spells. Although a book might say it's for one thing, if it means something else to you, then you need to use it for what it means to YOU. It's impossible to raise energy if there's any question in your mind as to WHY you're doing something the way you are, and IMO, it's just pointless to do a spell if all you're doing is parrotting someone else's words. There has to be an understanding of what each phrase in the spell means, and not just a repeating of a catch little rhyme.
I have a lot of newbies to witchcraft who email me and ask me to critique their spells for them. The biggest problem, aside from using someone else's correspondences is they get too flowery and drawn out with their spells. A spell should be short enough that it can be chanted like a mantra. It should be said repeatedly while you are raising energy, building up to the release of the spell. If a spell is like a poem with three or four (or even more, in some cases) verses, you're never going to be able to chant it enough times to build up enough steam to have any energy decent enough to release the spell.
The other big problem I see with some home-made spells is that people tend to ASK for things, even though they might not realize it. They'll say things like "PLEASE bring my love to me", or "I pray that the Goddess will help me". The worst phrase that could be inserted into a spell is "and let it harm none." That's probably the biggest spell-killer of all time. When you do a spell, you're not ASKING for anything, you're DEMANDING that it happen. Even if it's the most benign spell you can imagine, you're still doing it because you WANT it to happen, not because you're asking permission for it to happen. Even in a love spell that doesn't target a specific person, you don't want to say things like "PLEASE bring a love to me." You need to say "A love WILL COME to me" or words to that effect.
Writing and critiquing spells is probably one of my favorite things to do, because it's the one area where almost all witches who don't cast often or who don't cast successfully a good percentage of the time have a problem. If done constructively and tactfully, it builds up a witch's confidence tremendously to be able to go from sometimes having a spell work, to knowing before you even start that it's going to work because you have all the wrinkles ironed out right out of the box.

And thank you, thank you, thank you, for bringing up more appropriate wording such as "I WILL get a job" and not "please give me one". lol. That is so important, and yet many consider such a small change... too small to bother with half the time.
Posted 02 May 2004 - 10:17 PM
I live in Michigan... I have water in three of my four quarters. lol. But I see your point. In much the same way you described your take on correspondences, paths such as NAtive American religions are very similar.
And thank you, thank you, thank you, for bringing up more appropriate wording such as "I WILL get a job" and not "please give me one". lol. That is so important, and yet many consider such a small change... too small to bother with half the time.
You're welcome.
Yup. Just one little word - PLEASE - can change the entire intent of a spell from an order to a request. The purpose of a spell is to bring about results, it's not an exercise in politeness.

Posted 11 May 2004 - 03:37 PM
So, it is isn't the magock that is black or white, but the spell's purpose or the purpose/path of the person. To say that Wicca is white magick and Voodoo is black (just for examples, take no offense) is wrong. Wicca could be used for both or Voodoo could be used for both.
I don't know how well this theory holds up, but it is one that I like.
Posted 11 May 2004 - 07:17 PM
Posted 11 May 2004 - 08:27 PM
In all honesty, you can't even catagorize the PERSON as a practitioner of white or black magick. You could have a witch do spell work that only consists of positive things, yet this person goes home and beats their children. There usually is a natural balance within people, or there should be. It's a matter of finding that center, the even medium, and working from there.
The intent of the spell is everything.
Look at it this way...
Someone has it in for you for whatever reason. You have no idea why, but they do. They are doing workings against you, but you have no desire to smite them back, however you want to protect yourself from whatever they fling your way. So you do a spell to repel whatever they send to you back to them. They become the victims of their own spell, but it's at your hands. If you want to classify magick as black or white, in this case you have done black magick because you have sent harmful magick back toward someone. But you did it to protect yourself. So how would you classify it? Protection and shielding is not harmful. However whatever bounces off of it and goes back in the direction it came from might be. But you didn't intend to harm anyone, you were protecting yourself and your own. This is also a good example of why there is no such thing as "harm none" in magick. Even in a protection/shielding spell, something stands a chance of getting harmed.

Take my hand and we'll go riding through the sunshine from above
Posted 16 May 2004 - 12:06 AM
Y'know, ecto, I have to give you props for that example...it's made me see your point a lot more clearly than in your other posts in the past (not to say that you DIDN'T make any sense then, lol, please don't mistake me), and I totally see where you're coming from now. In the end, I gather that as long as you are prepared for whatever consequences (good OR bad), then spells are just like everything else in life...whatever it is you make of it, and there IS no real lofty or even pristine aspect of spellcasting as it comes from a HUMAN, who is a mass of contradictions ranging from the saintly to the devilish, lol. Anyhoo, for what it's worth, ty for this example...it's made me rethink a few long held views from the past.
I'm glad I was able to clarify it for you.

Wednesday September 8, 2010
Davinia Taylor, one of Kate Moss' closest pals, has lost custody of her three-year-old son following the breakdown of her marriage.
The 32-year-old millionairess – a member of the Primrose Hill set and a former Hollyoaks actress – divorced David Gardner in the summer.
And according to the Daily Mail, her football agent ex, who is David Beckham's best friend, has been granted custody of the couple's child Grey.
The couple married in 2003 at a lavish £875,000 ceremony attended by the football star - acting as best man - and his wife Victoria.
Davinia's father, who has a £200 million fortune, presented the newlyweds with a £2 million cheque as a wedding gift.
But seven years later, their marriage was over - the 32-year-old socialite's "unreasonable behaviour" cited as the grounds for the divorce.
David, who is godfather to the Beckhams' eldest son Brooklyn, was reportedly awarded a settlement in the region of £1 million.
He is now said to be in a relationship with Stephanie Dorrance – the ex-wife of Campbell's soup heir John Dorrance IV.
