Do you know what this is? It's a Cherry Red, Le Creuset Enameled Cast-Iron 7 1/4 Quart Round French Oven.
From what I understand and reading various reviews, it's the brand that makes the best quality in the business. Lasts for many, many years (translation: decades, minimally). I had looked at this in this past, drooling. Mind you, I am not a hedonist. Not that I don't enjoy pleasures every now and again, but it is neither the focus nor the purpose for which I live. But, the price, even at its discounted price, is way beyond the price range of what I can afford. Recently, at least a couple of blogs have included mention of it: Manda's blog and Ree's blog. I place a comment nearly every time Ree offers a giveaway, but my chances of winning a Le Creuset oven is slim to none.
I do loads of cooking and love it, unlike many people with whom I am acquainted in my generation, and a Le Creuset would sure get plenty of use in my lifetime. Plenty.
Julie Powell, as portrayed on Julie & Julia, sure seemed to gather lots in her readership by blogging after blogging about each of Julia Child's recipes. I have no where near the fan base Julie Powell had, at least to my knowledge. But a blogger can dream right? Perhaps there are loads of blog fans that simply don't leave comments. Maybe even some of those fans love me and are very generous and desire to make this dream come true.
The Le Creuset brand. 7 1/4 quarts is great. The Cherry Red is my preferred color. But, Cassis (the purple one) will do as well. Amazon has a decent discounted price and it offers free shipping for the item. Any takers?
Addendum: Wow, I just read an Amazon review that said there's a 101 yr warranty on the Le Creuset.

Vegetarian Chili
An individual who became my best friend in the 4th grade recently purchased a Good Housekeeping Vegetarian Meals book. Partially inspired by Julia Powell as portrayed in "Julie & Julia" and mostly inspired by a long-lasting growing friendship. My plan is a bit slower than that of Julie, one recipe from not Julia Child's book but one recipe from Vegetarian Meals per week. This is my revised version of recipe #1 in the Good Housekeeping Vegetarian Meals cookbook. [ADDENDUM: I just realized on February 2, that this recipe is actually recipe #3 in the recipe book.]
Of the various spices that go into different versions of chili, this is, by far, my favorite. Per usual, I turned the written recipe into something else and made it my own, some changes including using different kinds of beans to adding tomato sauce and water. Anyways, I am proud of the concoction that resulted.
One change I would make is: use LESS salt. The vegetable broth, I suspect, is already plenty salty; didn't taste it ahead of time and wish I had. I ended up eating mine over rice; surprise, surprise.
Here's my version of the recipe.
- 1 large red onion, cut thinly (perhaps diced would have been a good choice)
- 1/2 of a 32 oz bag of small carrots, cut into thirds or fourths
- 1 medium organic butternut squash, peeled and cut into small squares
- 3 green onions, washed and cut thinly
- 2 jalapeno chiles, minced
- 4 cloves of garlic, pressed through a garlic press
- 1 28 oz can of diced tomatoes
- 1 15 oz can of tomato sauce
- 1 15.5 oz can of dark red kidney beans, without the juice
- 1 15.5 oz can of black beans, without the juice
- a few tablespoons of olive oil
- 1 tbsp sea salt (this is what I would recommend after using more than 1 tbsp)
- 1 tbsp red sugar
- 2 tbsp chili powder
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 2 cups of water
- In a pan, with olive oil, cook the red onion on medium heat until transparent. Then set aside.
- In a pot on medium to high heat, throw in the carrots, butternut squash, beans, tomatoes, tomato sauce, garlic, green onions, vegetable broth and water. Once the carrots are more tender, add in the sugar, sea salt, and chili powder. Leave simmering for awhile.
By the way, I'm not sure you can tell from the photographs, but steam is rising from the bowl of soup.

Shiitake Mushroom, Udon Soup
I love, love, love udon. Anyone else? Am also a super huge fan of shiitake mushrooms. Thought of it as a treat whenever we had it growing up. They were usually dried, but I've been getting mine fresh, at Sunflower Farmer's Market. Compared with other types of mushrooms, this one's expensive. . . something like $9/pound. But, I usually buy four or five at a time, which is affordable. Perhaps some day I can grow my own; for now, I have Sunflower Farmer's Market.
Here's a simple recipe I can offer. None of that caramelized, Americanized stuff Noodles & Co. offers.
Udon is needed.
Doesn't this look heavenly already?
Here's what the shiitake mushroom look like.
- udon
- water
- chicken broth
- green onions - sliced thinly
- shiitake mushrooms = sliced thinkly
- garlic - diced
- sea salt
- soy sauce
- Bring water to a boil. Boil the udon for six minutes.
- Dump out a fair portion of the water (not all) and add some chicken broth, green onions, garlic, and shiitake mushrooms. Once the green onions and garlic have had a chance to boil for several minutes, add some sea salt and tid bit of soy sauce.

Baked wild rice & veggies
I've taken a shining to wild rice for some time. This is a relatively simple dish to satisfy any wild rice cravings. Though this dish is meatless, it is not vegetarian; I used chicken broth in it.
This is totally my own creation. Inspiration from no other source than me. I'm a bit fuzzy on what I put in, but here's the general idea.
Wild Rice & Veggies
This is totally my own creation. Inspiration from no other source than me. I'm a bit fuzzy on what I put in, but here's the general idea.
Wild Rice & Veggies
- 1 32 oz bag of small carrots, cut into thirds or fourths
- 1 thing of celery, washed and cut thinly
- 1 red onion cut thinly
- butter, no more than 2 tsp
- 2 6.0 packages of Uncle Ben's Long Grain & Wild Rice Original Recipe
- chicken broth
- water
- milk, perhaps 1/2 cup
- sea salt
- parsley flakes
- several cloves of garlic, diced
- In a pan, with a bit of olive oil (perhaps a few tablespoons of olive oil), on medium heat, cook the red onion until it's transparent. Then set aside, leaving behind any olive oil or onion juice.
- In the same pan, throw in the garlic. After the garlic has been sizzling for half a minute to a minute, add in the carrots, celery, some water (around a cup), milk (approx. 1/2 cup), and chicken broth (maybe 1/2 to 1 cup). Place the lid on the pan. Season with sea salt and parsley flakes in the cooking process. Cook 15 to 20 minutes.
- While the onion is cooking, in a separate pot, cook the long grain and wild rice according to the directions on the box(es).
- In a 9 x 13 rectangular stoneware, lay all the vegetables, including the soup and broth, across the bottom evenly. Next, layer on the onion. Finally, spread out the long grain and wild rice on top evenly. Sprinkle with shredded cheese if you like. Cover and cook at 350 degrees in the oven for an hour.

Cinnamon & Sugar Almonds
Cinnamon & Sugar Almonds
I apologize for the many slightly blurry photographs below. Perhaps I could blame it on my broken camera flash. Or maybe it's an artistic rendering for how we, as adults, watch life and time fly away.
This recipe isn't mine. Not at all. But it is one, the only one, that I have borrowed and used from Pioneer Woman's Tasty Kitchen: Burnt Almonds (Gebrannte Mandeln), provided by Birgit Kerr. Thank you, Birgit. I got loads of compliments on this, as I gave it to people as part of their Christmas gifts and made it for my parents the day they arrived this most recent trip.
I changed the name of this recipe because my version wasn't burnt. Not at all. I also didn't cook mine for 20 minutes, like the recipe says. But then again, I'm always making up my own stuff.
Again, since this isn't my recipe and I didn't really manipulate and morph the ingredients and stuff into my own take, I'm not going to restate the recipe here. Click on the above link, if you'd like to see the recipe.
Ingredients are simple and few:
1. water
2. raw almonds
3. brown sugar - the recipe only said 'sugar,' but I took the liberty of using brown sugar
4. cinnamon
5. vanilla extract
Here come the blurry photographs. Again, my apologies. Here was my cooking process.
Brown sugar
and cinnamon and water in first.
Stirred, stirring on medium heat. Brought to a boil.
Drop in the raw almonds. Constantly stir (or everything will hug the pan), cooking until the water gets absorbed or evaporates.
Finally, add a little extra brown sugar and the vanilla extract.
The directions said to spread the stuff in parchment paper, but I had none. Aluminum foil sufficed.
Viola. Tasty treats that continue their beckoning call, day after day.

Potato & Egg Burrito
I'm back. First, my laptop's screen / monitor decided to retire without permission. Then, a desktop computer decided not to recognize my camera or any of the photographs on it. Attempting to sabotage my blog posts, perhaps, but only temporarily. I'm back. But watch out. . . I have a number of food blog posts for you.
It's unfortunate that I'm finishing up this post as my stomach churns, churns, and churns with hunger. Unfortunate for you, because I'm likely to skimp on details.
I cooked the eggs and potatoes (I believe these were made with red potatoes) separately. Some diced garlic was involved. But make sure the garlic is well cooked in the olive oil to avoid burning your mouth with raw garlic.
For seasoning? Sea salt, Hungarian paprika. I can't remember what else. Give a break, will you? I get a little hazy on details.
Gave mine a bit of ketchup before consuming.

Rough time?
In the past decade, Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) has entrenched its position as the world's largest producer of rough diamonds in a declining market. In 2013 it accounted for around 52% of global output of 130.5m carats, and 62%(US$8.7bn) of its value. Ten years ago, its market shares were only 45% by volume and 52% by value. However, it is likely that African diamond production will expand only slowly if, as is predicted, global growth moderates over the next decade. Zimbabwe could prove to be a swing producer, but the policy environment there remains poor.
Diamonds are losing a little of their glitter. Figures released in late July by the Kimberley Process show that world production of rough diamonds has fallen by more than one‑quarter from a peak of 176.7m carats in 2005 to 130.5m carats in 2013. Sub-Saharan production mirrors this trend, peaking at 93m carats in 2008 and hitting a trough of 55m carats in the recession year of 2009, before rebounding somewhat to 68.5m carats last year.
This rebound in African production has been led by the expansion of low-priced alluvial diamond production in eastern Zimbabwe. That country's output jumped from less than 50,000 carats in 2004, before the controversial Marange alluvial diamond fields were first exploited, to a peak of 12m carats in 2012, falling to 10.4m carats last year. As a result, Zimbabwe's share of African production has surged to 15.2% by volume, and last year it accounted for 8% of global output.
Russia remains the world's top producer, with almost 38m carats, followed by Botswana (23.2m), the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC; 15.7m), Australia (11.7m) and Canada (10.6m). Zimbabwe is in sixth place, followed by Angola (9.4m), and South Africa—ranked eighth—has slipped down the pecking order, with its output of 8.1m carats down by 47% since 2007. However, because Russia produces mainly low-quality gems with an average price last year of US$82.2/carat, its production is valued at US$3.1bn—well behind Botswana, which is the world's top producer in value terms. In 2013 Botswana earned US$3.6bn, or 25.5% of the global total. Namibia's output was worth US$1.36bn last year, making it number two in Africa and number four in the world behind Botswana, Russia and Canada. Angolan production in 2013 was valued at US$1.28bn, while South Africa produced diamonds worth US$1.19bn. As with Russia, the DRC (with 15.7m carats) and Zimbabwe (10.4m) are major players in volume terms, but they earn much lower prices because the bulk of their diamonds are of poor quality. On average the DRC earns less than US$9/carat and Zimbabwe US$52/carat, compared with the US$156/carat earned by Botswana.
Diamonds are not a major export earner for SSA
Because value is added and diamonds are marketed in intermediate and final consumption markets, export figures are very different from production data. In 2013 the global export market was worth some US$56.6bn, or four times as much as production of rough diamonds. The EU is far and away the largest player, with exports valued at US$17.8bn from imports of US$17.4bn. The UAE is the second-largest exporter (US$7.3bn), followed by Botswana with US$6.2bn, Russia (US$4.4bn) and Israel (US$3.8bn). These five players account for 70% of global exports.
However, diamond exports are not a major earner for Africa, being valued at some US$12bn in 2013, when the region's total exports were worth US$600bn. The region's export share of 21.5% is much lower than its share of production, at 62%, highlighting Africa's failure—to date—to add value to rough diamonds. Several countries, led by Botswana, are trying to move upmarket from rough diamond mining to the processing and marketing end of the value chain, which is where the main profits are made. For example, Botswana's Diamond Technology Park, which opened in 2010, hosts more than 20 technology-driven diamond operations cutting and polishing diamonds for export, while De Beers has relocated its rough diamond sales activity from the UK to Gaborone.
With forecasters pointing to a slowdown in global economic growth over the next decade—we predict, for example, that OECD growth will average 2.2% annually over the 2015‑25 period, compared with 2.8% annual growth in the decade prior to the global economic crisis in 2008‑09—the signs are that African diamond production will grow only slowly. Much will depend on whether Zimbabwe manages to regain the impetus of the 2009‑12 period. The omens are not good. The readily accessible alluvial diamonds appear to be running out and the mining companies will need to invest heavily in underground mining, for which, to date, they show little appetite. Then there are the imponderables of government policy—the 51% local ownership (indigenisation) law, and an announcement in July that the government will next year ban exports of rough diamonds in an attempt to force mining houses to process their gems locally. Of course, the state cannot afford to ban sales of its third‑largest export, but ministers will ramp up the rhetoric before the inevitable climbdown in a few months' time, and the issue will add to existing concerns about the predictability of the mining investment environment.

A couple of months ago, I stumbled upon a photo of the Birdie dress, by PinUp Girl Clothing, aka PUG. From that moment onwards I knew I had to own, at the very least, one of these dresses. So imagine my joy when I grabbed a pink one on ebay, new with tags. Sadly, when the dress arrived the dart seams were pulled and I had to send the dress back from whence it came. To say I was devastated would be a understatement.
Fast forward another few weeks and someone popped up on my facebook feed, selling both the pink AND the lilac. I snapped them up and had them shipped to me from Australia, for a grand total of around £30 per dress, plus customs. These dresses have literally done a round the world tour!
I was totally overjoyed when they arrived and super excited to get them all over my body! The weight and feel of the fabric is beautiful and exactly the quality that PUG have become known for. My waist currently fluctuates between 28 and 30 inches, so I bought these in a size medium. The waist fits absolutely perfectly, though snug after a large meal. This dress retailed in the UK for £125. Certainly not a cheap item, but I'd say it's pretty worth it.
Unfortunately, the bust and bodice on this dress is rather large. I'm currently a 32D and struggled to fill the top. This meant that it gaped and risked what little dignity I have left. To get around this I have pinned the collar together at the cleavage. I will sometimes wear a cami vest underneath the dress. Unfortunately, the problem I had with the seams on the previous dress I bought, appeared to not be exclusive to that item. The separation at the seams appears more noticeable on the pink dress, due to the darker colour.
My final gripe with this dress is that the belt appears to be disproportionately small compared to the waist measurement. I'm sure I've seen some other ladies mention this issue too.
Clearly, those slight niggles weren't enough to stop me falling in love with and subsequently purchasing a third member of the birdie family. Introducing beautiful blue….
Uhhhh, this dress!!! I snapped up this one on ebay, for the very pleasant price of £75. I don't think I've ever owned a dress that makes me feel as beautiful and colourful as this does. I've also never owned a dress that has garnered as many compliments as this one. This is a dress that is too stunning to be kept in the wardrobe, so I've been known to wear them to work (sans petticoat and heels obviously). I'm almost tempted to buy it in the other colour ways, but fear that may be excessive.
So, there you have it: the dress I loved so much I bought it thrice! Has anyone else ever loved a dress so much that one just wasn't enough?

Since March, a few of my students, who are part of the men's soccer team at my university, have been asking me to help out with the team. With (over)workload, it is a daunting task to take on coaching the university team, but I love the beautiful game. If the young men on the soccer team are able to learn a few things from me, I am more than happy to lend a helping hand. Also, a soccer team needs a head coach; at the moment, the captain of the team is running things without guidance.
So, I went to the game today thinking I would just be a passive spectator and observe the team's current system and also each player's attributes. However, as many of you know, I am not one to just standby and watch the proceedings unfold.
During the warmup, I watched each player: if they were professional in warming up, how they communicate with their teammates, how high their concentration levels were, if they were nervous, their technical ability, their physical ability, their mental ability. I did my best to gain as much information as I could on each player so I could analyze their play to the most of my ability.
Not only this, but I did my homework about our university's soccer team. I also made a scouting report about our opponent for today's match. My scouting report was spot on and I gave advice to certain players about how to cope with the opponent's offensive firepower. However, because this was my first day (a match day nonetheless), I did not have time to build a deep trust-relationship with those players whom I met for the first time today. I knew 3 players on the roster.
From my preparation, I knew our team's formation, strengths, and weaknesses. However, seeing is believing, so I did not give detailed tactical instructions because I wanted to see if their system was effective. To be quite honest, the team needs much improvement. If this was not the case, they would not need my guidance.
It was apparent that our team could not cope with the other team's short-short-long strategy. The defensive line dropped back too deep, and this invited the other team to attack our goal from dangerous areas early on. As a result, the other team opened up the scoring within the first 5 minutes. At this point, I ended my analysis session and started barking out instructions: keep a high defensive line, have wide midfielders spread the field before cutting inside to combine with the lone striker, have the center midfielders hold their positions centrally instead of roaming randomly on the pitch to find passes.
Unfortunately, these players were so caught up in their old system that my words had no meaning to them in the 1st half. The defensive line continued to drop back too deep, wide players continued to make the field of play to narrow by slotting into the center of the pitch, and center midfielders roamed away from their positions. A systematic breakdown to say the least.
Halftime could not come early enough, and when it did, I called over a few players and gave them my ideas. With the captain still calling the shots, I had no idea whether or not they would actually come off the bench in the second half, but from my scouting reports, these players always came off the bench after the 60th minute mark. My scouting report was on point, and these players did come on the pitch. However, by the time they came on the pitch, our team was already down 2-0. No problem, I thought. With players who I already know on the field, they relayed my messages to teammates and did their best to carry out my instructions.
After these key substitutions, our team was able to create a few scoring opportunities, but were not able to convert. The game ended with the score at 0-2. Good game to the opponent. For us, a lot for the team to reflect on.
In my opinion, the captain of the team is taking on too much responsibility: tactics, starting line-ups, substitutions. These are things a manager, head coach, should take care of. Through my eyes, the captain is creating a system to be competitive, but also to prevent the team from losing, not to have the team win matches. Creating tactics for preventing one's team from losing and giving your team a chance to win are completely different concepts.
If a team is afraid of losing, they will look to kill certain individuals' strengths and play within themselves. Teams hardly win with this mentality, and our team currently has this mentality. This must be changed. These players have great potential and also have solid individual skill; it's a waste to play within mental limitations. Therefore, certain tactical adjustments to the formation and individual-position instructions would not only make things easier for the players, but also give them more opportunities to play to their strengths.
I am sunburnt and exhausted from lack of sleep, but it feels good to do what I love.

| benefits for the baby
for the mother | feeding
by another mother | bottle-feeding:
are there any advantages?
gives a baby nutrition that nothing else can.
It provides everything that a baby needs to eat or drink.
It gives immunity against illness and it helps to make
the baby intelligent.
It enables a magical bond to grow between mother and
the baby which lasts for a lifetime and it is a wonderful
pleasure to provide, it is also good for the mother's
It is always available, it has no storage problems and
it is always at the correct temperature, natural, clean,
and free!
Many mothers feel that it would be horrible to have
another woman feed their babies, and they would prefer
to give formula milk, if they are unable to breast feed
this is because mothers feel anxious that their baby
may bond with someone else. In fact, you needn't worry.
Breastfeeding by another woman, even someone who is
not a member of our own family, has absolutely no harm
in it at all. In fact, people in the past used to employ
special childminders, called "wet nurses", to breastfeed
their children for them.
women feed their babies formula milk. Some women do
it because they feel they are too busy to breastfeed.
Others do it because they were not able to get the help
they needed to breastfeed. Almost no mothers are physically
unable to breastfeed.

General Hospital Update Friday 6/24/05
By Ali
Pictures by Juanita
JAKE'S: Skye and Coleman are slow dancing at Jake's when Luke arrives. He asks them what the hell is going on here? Skye asks if Luke followed her here and he replies that Alice told him where Skye was. Coleman quips that Skye is with HIM now.
MAXIE'S HOSPITAL ROOM: Jesse pops back into Maxie's room to hide again. This time he's dressed like a doctor. Maxie notes that this is becoming a habit for him and he replies that she is the only friend he has in the world right now.
JASON'S PENTHOUSE: Jason comes home. Sam is glad to see him, because they are running late for Michael's appointment with Dr. Thomas. She's rushing around trying to get ready for it. Jason wants Sam to go without him. Sam gets upset and asks Jason if he wants Michael to get better or not?
THE HOSPITAL: Carly has brought Justus to represent Bobbie in the malpractice suit that John Durant is threatening, but Bobbie tells them that she already has a lawyer. On cue, Reese arrives. Carly, realizing that Bobbie has hired Reese, gets upset and accuses Reese of using Bobbie to further her own agenda.
REESE'S HOTEL ROOM: Sonny stops by Reese's hotel room and opens the door -- but doesn't find Reese there. He pokes around a bit and finds Reese's highschool yearbook. It's from the same school that Carly went to: Robert F. Kennedy High. Sonny (who has a flashback to Carly telling him about her highschool days as a cheerleader) looks intrigued.
JOHN'S HOSPITAL ROOM: John, still laying in his hospital bed, wants to hire Alexis as his lawyer to represent him in his suit against Bobbie. He explains the situation to Alexis -- that his legs worked fine until surgery, and now he's paralyzed. He's convinced that Bobbie messed up on purpose to get revenge on him. Alexis doesn't seem interested in representing John, even when he threatens to blackmail her (over the bribes she paid him to falsify evidence against Sonny). Just then Ric shows up...he announces to John that he and Reese are going to represent Bobbie in the lawsuit. After he makes this announcement he turns and realizes for the first time that Alexis is in the room, too.
THE HOSPITAL: Bobbie and Carly argue over Bobbie's desire to have Reese represent her. Reese and Justus leave to let Bobbie and Carly discuss this themselves. Bobbie explains that Reese has a very good record and most importantly is no big fan of John's. Carly asks Bobbie if Bobbie approached Reese or if Reese approached Bobbie?
JASON'S PENTHOUSE: Sam rants to Jason that it doesn't do any good for her and for Emily to encourage Michael to see Dr. Thomas if Sonny and Jason won't support the idea fully. Jason replies that whenever he goes to the appointment with Michael he argues with Dr. Thomas. Jason just doesn't trust the doctor and he doesn't see that Dr. Thomas has done any good for Michael, either. Sam argues that Michael is definitely getting better since he hasn't run away anymore and is now talking about his feelings. Jason says that that's fine, but he still doesn't want to go to the appointment with Sam and Michael. Sam replies that Jason needs to figure out what's more important -- his hatred for Dr. Thomas or his love for Michael. With that, Sam storms out of the penthouse.
JAX AND COURTNEY'S PLACE: Courtney comes home and Jax is there waiting for her. Courtney tells him she had a rough day at the office. Jax promises to make sure that her evening goes more smoothly. Jax also says that Dr. Meadows called and asked them how they are doing in regard to their part of the surrogacy agreement (that is, how they are doing collecting a sample of Jax's sperm). Apparently they made love several times the night before, but failed to actually get a sperm sample each of those times. Courtney notes that obviously she can't participate this next time around. She hands him the sperm sample cup and tells him that he will have to fly solo.
JAKE'S: Luke wants to know what a woman like Skye is doing in a hole like this with something like Coleman? He also thinks that Coleman's dancing is pathetic. Coleman hands Skye off to Luke and Luke and Skye dance for a bit. Luke tells Skye that he knows what she's trying to do -- she's trying to groom Coleman so that he'll make nice with Tracy so that Tracy will divorce Luke, sending Luke back into Skye's arms. Skye replies that Luke's assumption that she wants him more than Coleman is wrong. She then goes back to dancing with Coleman.
REESE'S HOTEL ROOM: Reese comes back to her room and finds Sonny there with the yearbook. He asks her what she's doing with it, and she lies and says that the FBI gave it to her during the kidnapping case...as part of a packet of information on Michael and Morgan's mother (Carly). She says that the FBI must have dug it up somewhere. Sonny replies that this isn't Carly's yearbook. Reese notes that the FBI must have gotten one from one of the other students. She wants to know instead what Sonny is doing in her room. Sonny says that he stopped by to make a delivery. He hands her a little velvet box -- inside is a key. Reese asks what the key leads to and Sonny says that it's for Harbor View Towers, Penthouse #4, and that she should be there in an hour. Reese realizes that Sonny used to live there...she wants to know what's going on and he says that she'll find out when she gets there. He then leaves the hotel room.
THE HOSPITAL: Bobbie and Carly are still bickering over Bobbie's decision to hire Reese. Bobbie admits that Reese did come to her and offer to help. Carly says that Reese is trouble and Bobbie should get another lawyer, like Justus. Bobbie notes that Justus is "tainted" by the number of times he's defended Sonny. She thinks that Carly's only upset about this because Reese is Sonny's latest bed-mate. Carly says again that Reese is only out to get her. Bobbie replies that Carly is only acting out over Sonny again -- except this time it's different because Carly has her own husband she should be worrying about. Bobbie says that Reese is staying on as her lawyer, end of discussion. She walks off while Carly looks depressed.
JOHN'S HOSPITAL ROOM: Ric and Alexis are still in John's hospital room. Ric is advising John against filing the lawsuit. John and Ric argue over this for a short while, with Ric pointing out that in the end John will just look like he's been throwing another temper tantrum -- one that will waste law enforcement's time and money. Alexis speaks up in John's defense, outlining the case that can be made against Bobbie. She thinks that John has a right to take it to trial, unless Ric is after a settlement. Ric says no way and then he and Alexis both agree they will see each other in court. Ric leaves the room and John gloats a bit about how Alexis is apparently now his lawyer. Alexis asks him why he seems more concerned with Bobbie than in finding out who really shot him?
MAXIE'S HOSPITAL ROOM: Jesse pokes his head out in the hallway and then ducks back into Maxie's room, closing the door behind him. Maxie asks him what awful thing he did. He says he tried to tell her last night but she fell asleep on him. Maxie says major heart trauma can tire a girl out. Jesse explains that the cops think that he shot a man. Just then, Monica comes into the room. She sees Jesse and asks him what he's doing here. She looks at his name tag and, thinking that he is really the "Dennis" on the name tag, says he should be in the OR right now going about his residency. Jesse quickly leaves. Monica tells Maxie that everything about her condition looks good and if she takes her medication she should have BJ's heart for a long time. Maxie asks if this means she can leave the hospital now?
JAKE'S: Luke interrupts Coleman and Skye's dance. Coleman says he might have to ask Luke to step outside. Skye steps in just before they start to fight. She tells Luke that she came to ask Coleman to be her date to the Quartermaines' charity cocktail party tomorrow night. Luke laughs at the thought of Coleman being Skye's date. Coleman replies that Luke can't pass for class any better than he can. They decide to make a bet on that -- and the winner takes Skye.
JAX AND COURTNEY'S PLACE: Courtney tries to "spy" on Jax by listening to him while he's in the bathroom (presumably with the sperm sample cup). He comes out of the bathroom and catches her. She laughs and says she was just curious. Jax replies that it's just not working. He says that obviously he needs a woman's touch -- as conceited as some people think he is, he guesses that he just doesn't love himself THAT much. Courtney laughs and accuses Jax of trying to explot the situation to get more sex out of her!
SONNY'S OLD PENTHOUSE: Jason is in the hallway of Harbor View Towers when he realizes that the door to Sonny's old penthouse is open. He wanders over and finds Sonny there, looking the place over. Jason asks what's going on and Sonny says that he is giving this place to Reese. Jason asks him why?
REESE'S HOTEL ROOM: Reese is sitting on a chair in her room, looking back over her yearbook. She reads autographs from old classmates who address her as "Charlotte." Then she has a flashback to a younger version of herself having an argument with a younger version of Carly. In the argument, young Charlotte/Reese calls Carly a liar and slams the door of her house in Carly's face. Afterward, young Carly cries and yells through the closed door that she hopes she never sees Reese again. Back in the present, Reese is crying. Just then, there's a knock on the door. She goes to answer it: it's Carly, who has come to talk to her.
JAX AND COURTNEY'S PLACE: Jax tells Courtney that she is the sexiest woman that he has ever known and that while he would stoop to any level to get her to bed...this is for a good cause since they are trying to have a baby. He thinks that Courtney should "help" him get the sperm sample so that they can tell their child, when the child asks "Where did I come from?" that he/she was created in the perfect moment...and not when Jax was in a room by himself with magazines and dirty movies. Courtney laughs that Jax talks a good game but doesn't follow through. They end up kissing.
THE HOSPITAL: Dillon is wheeling Georgie around in a wheelchair. They joke about the fact that Dillon is smothering her just a bit. Dillon compares them to Rose and Jack from the movie Titanic. He says that if Georgie had actually died from the injuries she sustained after her fall, that he would have gone on his whole life in love with her (the way Rose was in love with Jack in the movie even after he died). He jokes that having Georgie still alive and in his life makes him the "king of the world." Georgie promises him that she will always love him. They kiss.
Elsewhere in the hospital, Tracy and Monica talk about their charity cocktail -- which Tracy wants to use to lure new investors to ELQ. Monica advises that Tracy keep Alan away from the booze, Skye away from the booze and the unhappily married men and Edward away from everyone. Monica then goes off on an errand. Luke shows up to surprise Tracy. He is happy to tell her that he will be at the cocktail.
SONNY'S OLD PENTHOUSE: Jason thinks that Sonny is moving Reese into the penthouse to get back at Carly for marrying Lorenzo. Sonny denies it, saying that he can't understand why Carly is so upset that he's moving on with Reese in the first place. Jason thinks that Carly might be more vulnerable than Sonny right now. Sonny says that he isn't going to get into this with Carly -- this is his penthouse and he will do what he wants with it. Jason explains to Sonny that it wasn't easy for Carly to be married to Sonny, but that Carly does love him and that she does deserve better from Sonny than to have Reese move into the penthouse.
REESE'S HOTEL ROOM: Carly comes into Reese's room, refusing to leave until they talk. She says that she is onto Reese -- she knows Reese is using Bobbie to come after her. Reese says that she is only trying to defend Bobbie in a lawsuit, and that's all. She says that Carly rarely enters her mind at all. Carly doesn't buy that either -- she is sure that Reese has come to town to insinuate herself in every area of Carly's own life...getting close to Michael, to John and now to Bobbie. She can feel the hostility coming off of Reese, and she wants to know why -- what did she ever do to Reese? Reese raises an eyebrow at Carly and says nothing.
THE HOSPITAL: Tracy orders Luke to stay away from the cocktail party. Luke thinks that there's no way that Tracy could ever deprive him, her husband, the pleasure of rubbing elbows with the rich people of Port Charles. He offers to knock 50,000 off of their agreed upon alimony payment. Tracy isn't buying into it...she gives him some money and tells him to just use it to fly himself to Las Vegas as long as he stays away from the party. She stalks off, leaving Luke looking quite pleased with himself.
JAKE'S: Coleman comes out of the back of the bar changed into a vintage shirt and overcoat. The shirt has ruffles. Coleman thinks it looks good but Skye is not impressed. She wants to take him to go shopping.
THE HOSPITAL: Officer Murphy and Mac are talking about the suspect in the shooting -- an undercover cop turned bad, named Jesse Beaudry. Murphy shows Mac a picture of him. (As they talk, Jesse can be seen listening to them from a few feet away. Murphy explains to Mac that John was closing in on Jesse and so Jesse tried to kill him. Murphy also says that it was Jesse's gun found at the scene, and that the bullet pulled out of John was a perfect match to the gun. Mac tells Murphy to put out an A.P.B. that Jesse is considered armed and dangerous.
JAX AND COURTNEY'S PLACE: Jax and Courtney are laying on the coach, post-love making. Jax is happy but Courtney is upset that they once again failed to get the sperm sample. Jax tells her that it's not just his responsibility...she should have been paying better attention. Courtney replies that he did tell her, after all, not to break the mood. She gets off the couch and goes to get dressed. Jax protests, telling her to at least give him something to cover up with. In response, she tosses the sperm sample cup at him.
MAXIE'S HOSPITAL ROOM: Jesse hightails it back to Maxie's room, explaining to her that he was trying to leave but the place is crawling with cops. He quickly realizes that Maxie's upset about something and he asks what's wrong? She reluctantly tells him that she should be grateful to be leaving the hospital with the same heart intact -- and she is. She is just upset that she will have to take medication for the rest of her life...and that she'll be stuck in the hospital for a few more days with her parents hovering over her like she's a china doll. Jesse notes that he would bust her out if he could. Maxie promises him that when she does blow this joint, they will make up for lost time. But Jesse doesn't think he'll still be around. She asks him what to explain his situation to her. He doesn't think she'll believe him, but she replies that he should try her.
REESE'S HOTEL ROOM: Reese tells Carly that she did customary research on her (Carly) when she was first assigned to Michael's kidnapping case. Carly snaps that Reese doesn't know anything about her -- about where she comes from or what she had to do to get where she is now. Reese notes that maybe she is karma for everything that Carly has done to other people to fill the empty pit Carly calls a soul. Carly starts to leave when she hears Reese laugh a bit. She turns around and tells Reese that she will give Bobbie, Michael and Sonny the wake-up call they need where Reese is concerned. Reese wishes Carly luck. Carly storms out, slamming the door behind her.
MAXIE'S HOSPITAL ROOM: Jesse tells Maxie that he's a cop who was assigned to bring down a dirty money and drug connection. He tried to alert the new D.A. (John Durant) but then someone shot John, using a bullet fired from Jesse's own gun. Jesse's been trying to get to John since then but he's had no luck. Maxie says she thinks that she knows how to help him -- since Mac, her dad, is the police commissioner. But Jesse says that Maxie doesn't understand...the cops are out to get him and if he comes out to the department he'll be killed. Just then the door opens -- it's Mac coming to check in on Maxie. Jesse is stuck. Maxie tells Mac that she was just talking about him. Jesse looks looks frozen in place.
SONNY'S OLD PENTHOUSE: Reese arrives at the penthouse and finds Sonny waiting inside. He explains that he thought she could live here, since it was just empty with no one else in it. Reese notes that this is where he used to live with Carly and Sonny responds that he also lived there before and after Carly as well. Now he wants it to belong to Reese. Reese smiles and replies that she knows she should be insulted...but that the apartment is goregous and that she would love to live here if he only makes her one guarantee.
Meanwhile, out in the hallway, Jason is making a call to Sam on his cell phone -- he leaves a message saying that he knows that Michael is lucky to have Sam...just like he's lucky to have Sam too.
Back in the penthouse, Reese tells Sonny that she is going to be paying rent and if he doesn't cash even a single one of her rent checks, she will leave the penthouse. Do they have a deal?
Out in the hallway, Carly comes up on the elevator -- she is relieved to see Jason, saying that he won't believe what happened. Jason tries to steer her toward his own penthouse, but it's too late: Carly hears Reese and Sonny inside Sonny's old penthouse. She storms toward the door, with Jason trying to stop her.
Inside the penthouse, Sonny has agreed to let Reese pay rent. He says that as long she's happy, that's all that matters. She promises him she will be.
Just then, Carly comes in. She tells Sonny that there is no way "this little conniving tramp" is going to live in her home.

Well I have finally made it. I have only been promising myself (and some others) to make this blog happen for about a year. . . or two . . .
I'm lying. It's more like five but it is a scary adventure, pinning your work out there on the internet for anyone to see.
Currently I am writing as a kind of personal therapy and all of my work-in-progress novels have been put on the back burner in favour of late night musings and poetry (sort of).
I hope that by publishing some of my work here I overcome some of my anxieties, engage in a wider writing community and discover other works for my own reading pleasure.

By inertia we mean that active resistance shown by every piece of matter to any effort to change its motion; while the mutual attraction between all material bodies, according to which all matter strives to collect itself into one huge compact lump, we call gravitation.

There is nothing wrong with using expensive "organic" or Nike Air Max 95s Sale "natural" hair products. I do, however, take issue with claims made by manufactures of these products and their boasting about how they repair damaged hair, split ends or substantially change hair texture for any period of time. I also have an issue with product manufactures that make claims of "certified organic" ingredients. Thus there has been school choice in urban areas in practice since 1994 although there was no mention of choice in the existing school law. Most of the biggest cities have introduced school choice since 1994, the capital city Helsinki among the first. School choice is used only in addition to traditional allocation of pupils to schools on the basis of residence.

Recently they were each presented with a heart. A matrix organizational structure will work best in a creative work situation where people have specific talents that can be identified and assigned.

New Version of ED Data Express: The U.S. Department of Education introduced on August 25, 2011 the latest version of ED Data Express, an interactive Web site that provides timely K-12 education data to the public. The upgraded site adds new data visualization tools, enhanced documentation, and social networking options for users. ED Data Express, launched in August 2010, consolidates relevant data collected by U.S.DOE from several different sources and provides a variety of tools that allow users to explore the data and create individualized reports. Data is available from the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, the Performance Management Information Services Division of the Office of Planning, Evaluation and Policy Development, the National Center for Education Statistics, and The College Board. It also includes information about state assessment results, the National Assessment of Educational Progress, graduation rates, and school accountability information, budgets, and demographics. The upgraded ED Data Express Web site, is available at http://www.eddataexpress.ed.gov.
U.S. DOE Response to IDEA Raises Questions: The U.S. Department of Education's "informal letter" (which is not legally binding) to an inquiry regarding a question about special education "maintenance of effort" (MOE) has raised even more questions. In a June 2011 letter, Dr. Melody Musgrove, Director of the Office of Special Education Programs, U.S. Department of Education, responded to a February 2011 inquiry from Dr. Bill East of the National Association of State Directors of Special Education about the obligation of a school district to meet its maintenance-of-effort requirement for special education expenditures after a school district reduced its budget for special education.
According to the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), school districts are required to expend the amount of money for special education expended in the previous fiscal year. When school districts do not maintain the same level of support, the school district is required to repay the State education agency (and therefore the U.S. DOE) an amount equal to the shortage.
A question was raised about the level of spending that would be required the following year in order to meet the maintenance of effort standard, when a school district failed to expend less on special education the previous year. Would the MOE level be the amount the district actually spent or the amount spent plus the shortage?
According to the U.S. DOE's informal letter, the new lower amount would become the maintenance of effort target, which means that school districts could essentially lower their special education MOE.
According to Education Week ("Feds Loosen Rules on Cutting Special Ed. Spending" by Nirvi Shah: August 31, 2011) Kathleen B. Boundy, a co-director of the Center for Law and Education, based in Boston, has requested that the U.S. DOE rescind the informal letter. More information about this new interpretation of MOE is available.
The U.S. House Education and Workforce Committee approved on July 13, 2011 H.R. 2445, the State and Local Funding Flexibility Act, the third bill approved in series of bills to re-authorize the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA). H.R. 2445 would provide state and local school districts increased flexibility when using federal education funds. More information about this bill is available. Read opposition to this bill.
News from the ODE: The following topics were recently included in EdConnections, a publication of the Ohio Department of Education and available.
ODE will Increase Oversight of Tutoring Program: Superintendent of Public Instruction Stan Heffner directed the Ohio Department of Education on September 3, 2011 to strengthen oversight and management of Supplemental Educational Services, a federally funded tutoring program created through the No Child Left Behind Act for students in certain low-performing schools.
The directive came after the release of an internal ODE audit that found that tutors participating in the program had not complied with a number of requirements. The 270 tutors currently participating in the program will be decertified effective June 30, 2012 and must reapply for the school year. According to a press release from the ODE, to be re-certified, tutors must demonstrate that they can appropriately and transparently manage their invoicing and accounting and reaffirm this ability annually. The ODE will post provider effectiveness ratings received from schools annually for parents to know the quality of services being provided for students throughout Ohio; survey participating families about the quality of tutoring services received; create a model agreement outlining tutor performance requirements for any school to use when contracting with a provider for services; increase the resources it devotes to investigating complaints of irregularities from local school districts, parents or interested parties; and work with schools to share best practices for managing and policing their tutoring programs to help them more quickly catch problem tutors and report them for investigation.
What's New for the School Year? The ODE has created a new webpage, "What's New for the School Year" to provide information for families and educators about standards guides for families, testing dates, state identification cards for students, and other topics.
ODE Resources for HB153 (Amstutz) Biennial Budget: The ODE has included on its website a number of resources to provide information about House Bill 153, the state's FY12-13 budget, including the following:
- State Superintendent of Public Instruction Delivers Presentation at the Budget Analysis and Discussion (BAD) Workshop, including talking points on available waivers
- Senior Executive Director of Accountability and Continuous Improvement, Adrian Allison, Delivers Presentation on HB 153 Rankings and Reporting
- New ODE Responsibilities under HB 153
- New Local Responsibilities and Permissions
- Eliminated Local Responsibilities and Permissions
- Summary of Budget and Proposed Policy Changes
The information is available.
Transition to New Academic Standards: School districts will be transitioning to the revised academic content standards over the next three school years. The ODE has posted content-specific crosswalks on each of the content area pages to support this work. An additional Comparative Analysis tool will also be available to assist in comparing the new and current standards. Some districts have already completed the necessary curriculum realignment and are ready for implementation of the new standards this year. These districts are encouraged to begin with the K-2 grade band, as this is the first group of students who will be subject to the new assessments in the 2014-2015 school year. ODE is realigning the current K-2 diagnostics to the revised standards, and plans to have them available for use by next fall for the 2012-2013 school year.
Webinar series offered to combat bullying and improve school climate: The ODE has joined several other state agencies to form the Ohio Anti-Harassment, Anti-Intimidation and Anti-Bullying (Anti-HIB) Initiative, and will be sponsoring a series of one-hour webinars during the current school year to help schools improve school climate. The webinars will be presented by experts from each sponsoring agency on topics including: policy implementation and supports; cyber safety; legal ramifications; school-wide interventions; teen dating violence prevention; and girl aggression.
In addition to ODE, speakers will represent the Attorney General, eTech Ohio, the Ohio Domestic Violence Network, and the departments of Alcohol and Drug Addiction Services Health, and Mental Health.
Each webinar is open to the first 100 participants, with registration open 30 minutes before each program. The webinars will be recorded and posted the same day on the ODE web page for viewing at a later time. The next webinar is Wednesday, September 7, 2011 at 3:00 PM.

Public Education Under Fire: Authors of a New York Times Op Ed article published on August 25, 2011 (When Schools Depend on Handouts by Michael A. Rebell and Jessica R. Wolff) opine that it is "disgraceful that essential components of our public education system now depend on the charitable impulses of wealthy citizens". The op ed was in response to a $1.5 million donation that was made to reinstate the January New York State Regents exams, which were recently eliminated to reduce the state budget. The donation, made by Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg and five other individuals, is one of many private resources that now supports vital components of state public education systems, and illustrates how public education and its original purpose are being undermined today.
The purpose of public education, which was a concept championed by school reformer Horace Mann, was to create an education system "one and the same for both rich and poor" with "all citizens on the same footing of equality before the law of land."
The authors, who are with the Campaign for Educational Equity at Teachers College, Columbia University, note that public education, the system created to provide equal access to an education for all, is now in jeopardy, as "anti-union sentiment continues to spread" and school budgets are cut across the country.
The authors write, "Most state constitutions, in fact, guarantee all students a sound, basic public education. These constitutional rights cannot be put on hold, even in tough times. It is unconstitutional to call on parents to pay for textbooks and lab fees for required courses. And art, music, sports, basic educational support services and many extracurricular activities that promote learning, creativity and character are not luxuries; they, too, are essential features of a sound, basic education."
Although some courts, (California, New Jersey, and North Carolina) are responding to lawsuits filed to protect education funding in some areas, litigation is time-consuming and expensive. The authors write, "Politicians have a constitutional obligation to protect public education. They need to ensure that adequate public funds are available, and the people need to hold them accountable for doing so."
The article is available.
Policy Matters Reports: Two recent reports published by Policy Matters Ohio provide information about the impact of HB153 (the state's biennial budget) on local governments and the impact of charter school law on Ohio's traditional public schools. Both reports are available at http://www.policymattersohio.org/.
"A Thousand Blows: State Budget Slashes Funding for a Broad Swath of Local Government Services" by Wendy Patton: August 31, 2011, describes the impact of the $1 billion cut for funding local government included in the biennial budget HB153 and how the cuts will affect public services that support and protect the public in counties, cities, villages, townships, parks, port authorities, police and fire funds, and health and human service levies. The Appendix of the report contains county-by-county and some municipal data and details on how the cuts will reduce support for senior and children's services, mental health, developmental disabilities, and other services. HB153 contains many cuts to local services, but the primary losses are in the Local Government Fund ($411 million), a revenue sharing program which is cut in half by the end of the biennium, and in tax reimbursements promised to local government as local taxes were eliminated, such as tax reimbursements for Public Utility Tangible Property taxes (PUTP) ($138 million) and tangible personal property taxes (TPP) ($483 million), and the estate tax (in 2010 $230 million).
"The State Budget's Impact on Ohio Charter and Voucher Policy" by Piet van Lier, August 12, 2011, describes the impact of HB153, the state's FY12-13 biennial budget on traditional public schools, including policies to expand privatization of education through charter schools and voucher programs.
According to the policy brief, HB 153 reduced funding for public K-12 education by $1.8 billion over the biennium, and included a number of changes in law that will impact traditional public schools, including expanding privatization by increasing the number of charter schools and school vouchers; restructuring seniority, tenure, and pay for teachers; establishing new ratings measures for schools; and expanding the role of regional Educational Service Centers. Some of these issues will be examined in future reports.
While the new law allows charter schools to expand, the author notes that HB153 did "…little to strengthen the quality of the charter sector in Ohio". For example, new sponsor requirements might be "too weak to have a significant impact"; the number of districts in which start-up charters can be created was expanded in the bill; the number of schools that sponsors can sponsor was increased; "state law continues to allow unchecked and un-examined growth of charters in districts rated as challenged"; efforts to close low performing charter schools have been side-stepped by some charter school operators; management companies (some for-profit) are still able to open new charter schools; the new law authorizes the ODE to sponsor charter schools while continuing to oversee charter-school sponsors; and the new law expands the number of students who can receive vouchers to attend private schools, and even creates a new kind of publicly funded boarding school.
The author writes, "As a result of the low bar for entry into Ohio's charter sector, profit-seeking operators or those unprepared for the challenges of running a school end up playing games of chance with the futures of too many Ohio children."
The complete report includes a number of graphs and details about the status of charter schools in Ohio, and is available.

Big Name Change for MENC: On September 1, 2011, MENC officially changed its name to the National Association for Music Education (NAfME). The National Executive Board of MENC, which is the acronym for Music Educators National Conference, had changed to the National Association for Music Education in 1998. According to Michael A. Butera, executive director, the new acronym (NAfME) will be more easily-recognizable and instantly-understood when working with Congress, raising funds, recruiting teachers, and promoting music education in our schools and communities.

The Prime Minister's Office (PMO) has agreed not to go ahead with the divestment of MSTC's arm Ferro Scrap Nigam (FSNL) as the entity has no tangible assets barring machinery, a top official said.
FSNL, under the administrative control of the Steel Ministry, undertakes disposal of ferrous and non-ferrous scrap arising from integrated steel plants under Steel Authority of India (SAIL), Rashtriya Ispat Nigam (RINL), among others and disposal of scrap and surplus stores from other public sector units (PSUs) and government departments.
"We are removing FSNL — a subsidiary of MSTC — from disinvestment list because it does not have anything. No land. It just has [an] equipment," Steel Secretary Aruna Sharma told PTI.
MSTC is a metal scrap trading PSU. It also renders services to steel and petrochemical sectors for raw material support and provides e-commerce services.
"SAIL permits them to do the scrap sale or making its pellets as it is a PSU. So it does not make any sense for a buyer because SAIL cannot give it to a private person for conversion. So what will anybody do by taking scrap machinery," the Secretary said.
"In the last meeting that I had in PMO they all agreed that it should be removed," the Secretary said.
The Centre had earlier said that it intends to disinvest its equity, which is equivalent to 89.85 per cent of the total voting equity share capital in MSTC to a strategic investor along with management control of MSTC and its wholly owned subsidiary FSNL through a competitive bidding process.

The inhibitor of apoptosis (IAP) family protects cells from self-execution by blocking the relentless caspase death cascade. IAPs bind to and inhibit activated caspases through their BIR domains. Some IAPs such as Livin also contain a RING domain that has E3 ubiquitin ligase activity and promotes the degradation of Smac/DIABLO through ubiquitination. Since Smac/DIABLO promotes apoptosis by inhibiting IAP-caspase interactions, degradation of Smac/DIABLO allows IAPs to more effectively block caspase activity thereby promoting cell survival.In general, members of the IAP family are highly expressed in several types of cancer. However, Survivin, an IAP that lacks a RING domain, definitely stands out among the family for its clear association with cancer. Abundantly expressed during development but scarce in normal adult tissues, Survivin is upregulated during tumorigenesis and associated with chemotherapy resistance and poor patient survival.IAPs are fast emerging as targets for potential diagnostics and therapeutics. For example, patients suffering from diverse cancers develop antibodies against Livin suggesting that Livin may be a novel diagnostic or prognostic tumor marker. Additionally, preclinical studies indicate that down-regulation of Survivin can sensitize tumor cells to chemotherapy, thereby increasing apoptosis and overall treatment response.

just wanted to update everyone on the studio progress…
i got photos taken for four items last night. (yes, only four. this is going to be a long process.) i definitely still need to fiddle with the settings on my camera. and i need a light for the top of the light box. they're still too dark. but these are a definite improvement over the pictures i used to take.
thanks to finley's recommendation, i have been using www.picnik.com for my editing. i'm using the basic version right now. but i'm pretty sure i'm going to upgrade at some point.
it occurred to me after i was done that i could have taken pictures of the bottoms of the baskets… do you think that's necessary? if you were in the market for a set of lovely crocheted baskets, would you want to see their bottoms first?
i've ordered new business cards with my new logo and web address from www.vistaprint.com. i was going to order from another site, but i was sucked in by all the free stuff from vista. not only did i order business cards, i ordered magnets, a banner, a car magnet, and post cards. i edited my logo in proportion to the items. so i did have to pay for the download (and shipping, of course). i don't need most of my "free" items. yet. but this way, i could pay for the cheap shipping since i'm not in a hurry for any of them.
from www.uline.com, i ordered boxes to package the baskets and washcloth sets. i also ordered some shipping boxes. there are still a few things i need for packaging and shipping, but i wasn't prepared to spend the money yet. (plus, i'm not sure where i'd put 10 pounds of tissue paper right now…)
so at this point, i've spent time and money getting ready to sell. but haven't actually posted anything. so i guess that's the final step. and then the money will just start rolling in, right? (yes, i'm kidding…)
if you get a chance, head over to the currently empty studio… let me know if you see anything that could use improvement – the policies, bio, etc.
june 1 and the "grand opening" will be here soon. i've already decided to reward myself for all my hard work with a new game (that i don't need). 😛
