Romance is the expressive and generally pleasurable feeling from an emotional attraction towards another person. This feeling is associated with, but does not necessitate, sexual attraction. Historically, the term "romance" originates with the medieval ideal of chivalry as set out in its chivalric romance literature. In the context of romantic love relationships, romance usually implies an expression of one's strong romantic love, or one's deep and strong emotional desires to connect with another person intimately or romantically.

Papers on Medieval Prosopography: Session #47 at KZOO 2015
Three fantastic papers on Prosopography from #KZOO2015.
Environmental Crusading: The Teutonic Knight's Impact After the Baltic Crusades
Environmental archaeologist and Professor of Archeology at Reading, Dr. Aleks Pluskowski, examined Malbork and several other sites across Eastern and Northern Europe in his recent paper, The Ecology of Crusading: The Environmental Impact of Holy War, Colonisation, and Religious Conversion in the Medieval Baltic. Pluskowski is keenly interested in the impact the Teutonic Knights and Christian colonisation had on the region. His ambitious 4 year project on the ecological changes in this area recently came to a close at the end of 2014.
Of sagas and sheep: Toward a historical anthropology of social change and production for market, subsistence and tribute in early Iceland
This dissertation deals with the formation of chiefdoms, communities, ecclesiastical institutions and state, and with production for market, subsistence and tribute in early Iceland in the context of climatic change and ecological succession.
Real and imaginary journeys in the later Middle Ages
For a proper understanding of the actions of men in the past it is necessary to have some idea of how they conceived the world and their place in it, yet for the medieval period there is a serious inbalance in the sources.
Pedlars and Alchemists in Friuli History of itinerant sellers in an alpine reality
This short review discusses about itinerant sellers in Friuli, who are Cramaro called (XI-XIX centuries). Attention is focused, in particular, on the question if some of theme were alchemists.
Did Purchasing Power Parity Hold in Medieval Europe?
This paper employs a unique, hand-collected dataset of exchange rates for five major currencies (the lira of Barcelona, the pound sterling of England, the pond groot of Flanders, the florin of Florence and the livre tournois of France) to consider whether the law of one price and purchasing power parity held in Europe during the late fourteenth and early fifteenth centuries.
England's First Attempt to Break the Commercial Monopoly of the Hanseatic League, 1377-1380
During the second half of the fourteenth century English traders first seriously threatened the Hanseatic League's commercial monopoly in the Baltic. The League, attempting to defendits monopoly, treated the English unjustly,where upon in 1377 the English Parliament rescinded the charter that granted the League important concessions and privileges in its English trade.
Boundaries in the making – Historiography and the isolation of late medieval Bohemia
This paper deals with an episode of early 15th century Bohemian history. During the so-called Hussite wars, a coalition of Catholic powers tried to establish a far-reaching blockade on trade and commerce against the kingdom of Bohemia, which then was considered to be a hotbed of heresy, and to be rebellious against its legitimate ruler and the papal church.
Kingdom, emporium and town: the impact of Viking Dublin
In recent years the precise location and nature of Viking Dublin have been much debated. It is now generally accepted that there was a longphort phase from 841 to 902: a period of enforced exile from 902 to 917, and thereafter a dún phase.
Wax or wane? Insect perspectives on human environmental interactions
The sites discussed in this paper include a range of sites investigated on national road schemes and other development projects across Ireland, covering a long time-span from the Neolithic period through to the medieval period.
Shops and Shopping in Britain: from market stalls to chain stores
The first retail shops, as opposed to those of craftsmen and artisans selling goods they made themselves, were drapers, mercers, haberdashers and grocers.
The Brewer, the Baker, and the Monopoly Maker
This paper seeks to examine how productive entrepreneurial activities, such as innovation, influence unproductive entrepreneurial activities, such as regulatory rent seeking.
Two dozen and more Silkwomen of Fifteenth-Century London

Like A Virgin
Hallowe'en is not my holiday. You could over analyze the reasons why until you are blue in the face. Maybe I don't like the element of hiding behind a costume or a mask because I spent a great deal of my young life hiding (growing up gay in the seventies and eighties involved a lot of hiding). Perhaps I don't like coming up with costume ideas or executing them because I live in fear of being judged (and the judgement factor of good or bad costumes is a big part of the holiday). Could be I am just too serious a person for the frivolity. The truth is: I don't know. The other truth is: I just don't care enough to analyze why. I only know this: Hallowe'en is not my holiday.
As a child I liked it. Of course. Hallowe'en meant fun stuff like trick or treating (going out after dark, in costume, asking for candy? perfect!), nighttime spelunking games, the excitement of scary stuff, leave us not forget all that candy, the decorations, the costumes...it is a child's holiday. I never had thrilling costumes as a child, though; but the candy was always plentiful. it was the seventies and it was still safe to trick or treat, to play hide and seek in the dark and to eat the candy given to you by strangers. Once in the grades above sixth, my interest in the holiday waned. I knew where to get the candy: out of the big bowl of treats my mom had for the trick or treaters who would come to our door. Why should I put on a costume that itched or was uncomfortable, only to be told it was only ok, just to get candy when I could swipe it from the bowl at home? Once out of high school, I just went to the store and bought the candy I wanted and stayed home on Hallowe'en and watched television. I was an actor, I wore costumes for work, not for play. During my 20 years with Pat, we have never dressed for Hallowe'en (though one year we went out on the holiday and people asked what we were dressed as and we replied "homos").
My friends love this holiday, especially Tom. It is his favourite, though, we have never been together on the holiday. He is always with his friends from Brooklyn, who party hard on Hallowe'en, while we go to the Roxy and dance and watch the pageantry. Last year, while going to the gym on All Hallow's Eve, I saw many people in costumes heading for the parade; my favourite was the girl dressed as Carrie Bradshaw---marvelous! I always exude enthusiasm over THEIR enjoyment of the event because it is what a friend does; whatever their enjoyment, support it.
This year, though, Pat had an idea regarding Hallowe'en. If was clear that we were going out because the weekend of the holiday, at the Roxy, one of our favourite dj's was spinning. Tom would be there, William and Joey would be there, Team Howard would be there. We were going dancing on Hallowe'en; the only question was, would we dress up? Pat wanted to go as a pair. He said to me "What if Clark Kent and Lex Luthor were a couple?"
What if Superman and Lex Luthor lived in Chelsea? There IS a lot of homo eroticism in various episodes of SMALLVILLE... The adversary yet jovial nature of the hero and the villain in the ongoing evolution of the serial over the years, from comic book to little screen to big screen... This would be just another evolution, a variation on a theme.
Ok. I said. Let's do it. For the first time in over two decades I was going to wear a Hallowe'en costume.
Good Hallowe'en costumes are not easy to come by. If you get them at the store, they look store bought and don't fit. Amateurs. If you want a really good costume you either build it yourself or hire someone to do that. Me? Making a Hallowe'en costume? First of all there is the matter of my schedule--uh uh. Then there is the matter of skills required to make a Hallowe'en costume--uh uh. So we would hire someone to do a sexy set of costumes that would work on the "theme" of Superman and Lex Luthor as a couple. That, though, takes money. And I had a root canal this year and bought an ad for a few thousand dollars, to promote the re opening of my studio; we had spent much of our year's income on a personal trainer and on, well, food and a roof. There was no money left to pay one of the BROADWAY BARES costumers to make us outfits. So that kind of put the kaibash on that idea. And then, two weeks ago, at the gym (and having just seen HOLLYWOODLAND) I said to Pat; the image of Superman and Lex Luthor has had many incarnations over the years--we just need to find the RIGHT variation on the theme. If Lex and Clark were Chelsea Boys, they wouldn't wear what we see in the comic book or the movies or the tv show. They would wear CHELSEA BOY clothes.
That did it.
We bought Pat a Superman t shirt, ripped off the sleeves and cut it off at the belly, to expose his hipcuts and flat stomach. We got him some dark DIESEL jeans and black work boots, a piece of chain link to make into a necklace and attaced to the necklace these green light up ice cubes that looked like Kryptonite. We learned to style that big ass curl in the middle of his forehead and we designed a big green Kryptonite tattoo that said LEX. Instant costume. For me, as Lex Luthor, I was half-way there. Shaved head. That left much research to be done, online, for Lex Luthor has no set outfit. After looking at all the Lex's over the years, I decided it had to be something gnatty; a suit, that would do it. An Armani suit, no shirt, a LUTHOR AND CLARK tattoo and sunglasses. Done, costumes ready, for the first time in my adult life, two weeks before Hallowe'en .
The week before our trip to the Roxy, Jason Woods was throwing a Hallowe'en party and we were invited. We decided to use this chance to dress rehearsal the stumes and see if they worked. Kaitlin O'Neal helped me find the right tools to create temp tattoos and Jen Houston came over to create them. We looked good but decided the curl wasn't prominent enough and the LEX tattoo needed to be bigger. But the crowd liked the concept--especially when we added a dog leash to Pat's Kryptonite necklace. During the week between to two parties we worked out and dieted and got our bodies to where we wanted and on Friday Annalisa came over to do the tattoo duty. Together, the three of us collaborated on new tattoos that were FABULOUS and by Saturday night, we were hittin on all sixes...
Kaitlin arrived dressed as an Indian Goddess (she told me the name but I will be damned if I can remember it--even if I coulc, I wouldn't be able to spell it), in a most amazing confection of purple chiffon and a makeup job that had taken three hours! Annalisa was made up as the glamour demon with firey red hair and horns and eye makeup that made her look as alluring as Theda Bara. Tommy and Wesley were another famous gay couple from Chelsea: Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy. Tom was set to go as The Devil Wears Prada (no he was not dressing as Streep but, instead, in fierce demon makeup and a Prada outfit). Much to everyone's dismay, Tom fell ill five days before Hallowe'en and had to stay home in bed. Jen was going to come as Wonder Woman or some other diva goddess but, to our deep regret, had to work in the PMS Kookie Kompany kitchen, baking all the huge holiday orders she has been getting--and when you are the boss of the company, you have to be there to do the work. So our gang was complete, hanging at 2-A on Saturday night, heading to the Roxy by midnight, and ready to have some fun.
And fun it was. The stumes we saw! The Rauhoffer music! The lights, the pageantry, the laughs. Men on the dance floor stopped their gyrating to watch Kaitlin; Tommy had the costume everyone wanted (because every gay guy wants a cape); Wesley's HP glasses made him the object of desire for every man who likes an intellectual type in a tank top. Young boys with either a Superman or Daddy fetish sidled up to Pat, while people with a sense of humour and a sense of style engaged Annalisa and I in stimulating conversation. Our friends that we ran into on the dance floor were happy and adventurous and enjoying that adventure; and we even had a surprise visit from Jason (who took time out from a two day drama tournament to be with us!), who arrived as the hottest Superhero that people talk about--the Green Lantern. I couldn't believe how much fun I was having--on a holiday I have shunned my entire adult life. I will admit that some of the costumes we saw were lame; some of the costumes didn't matter cause the men WEARING the costumes were so easy on the eye; and then there were the costumes that made you STOP in the name of love. Madonna Pompadour, The 69ers, Dorothy, about a dozen Wonder Women, Supergirl, Robin Hood (my favourite--he could really dance and he had a really big arrow), and any variety of FIERCE diva goddesses. There was no drama. No one got drunk and sick. No one fell down on the dance floor (though someone did trip on a stair). No emotional drama...it was just a fun night with fun people that live inside my heart. I was so glad to get to go, to get to have this adventure, to get to spend an entire weekend with people I love (because, don't you know, on Sunday a bunch of us met for brunch and then went to Queens to see our ailing Tom). It was fun and, believe you me, we don't get enough fun in this life. We spend it working and worrying about the mortgage. We go to bed early, exhausted and stressed and we go to work early, hoping to git r done. To take time out, every so often to have an adventure is something we forget to do and something we SHOULD do.
I'm glad I did. I don't know if I will do it again. I did it. I enjoyed it. I had my good Hallowe'en experience. And I was so happy with the way I looked in my stume.
I ran into a great friend and a great guy, Danny Parks, whom I see seldom because he is in school and THAT is a time consuming effort; but when he saw me in my Lex Luthor costume he said no more than three words to me before disappearing into the crowds:
I feel that I did.
please note: the photo of our dress rehearsal was shot by AJ Triano; the photos of the actual Hallowe'en gang were done by all of us taking turns behind the camera--to try to give full photo credit would be insane.

CROTON-ON-HUDSON, N.Y. -- A Croton-On-Hudson car dealership is teaming up with New York Cares to collect warm coats for those that need them this winter.
Croton Auto Park said the coat drive, already under way, will continue until Saturday, Dec. 31.
New or gently used coats can be dropped off from 8:30 a.m. - 8 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays; from 8:30 a.m. - 6 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays, and from 11 a.m. - 4 p.m. Sundays at Croton Auto Park, 1 Municipal Place, Croton-on-Hudson.
New York Cares volunteers aim to collect 125,000 coats a year for distribution in the city.
Over the past 28 years, they have distributed more than 1.7 million winter coats.
Its president, Lou Giordano, said it's not the first time the business has given back to the community.
"One hand helping another is the way we operate at Croton Auto Park," he said.
Among the charitable organizations and community groups or events that Giordano said the business supports are Croton Cub Scout Pack 28's Annual Pinewood Derby; Croton Recreation and Parks; Harry Chapin Memorial Run Against Hunger; Caring for the Homeless of Peekskill (C.H.O.P.); The Foundation for Empowering Citizens with Autism (F.E.C.A.) and Support Connection.
Giordano said he was also proud that the business has partnered with Arc of Westchester for nearly 10 years. The organization, he said, has been connecting people with intellectual and developmental disabilities to the Westchester employment community since 1949.
Croton Auto Park is "dedicated to creating a diverse and caring workplace," he added.

Breast implant
The grafts to increase the size or the shape of female breasts have been used since 1895. The earliest known graft was sought by Czerny, using an adipose tissue of a woman, retrieved from a lipoma - a type of benign tumor - of his back.
Gersuny tried paraffin injections in 1889, with disastrous results. Subsequently, in the first half of the 20th century, several other substances were discussed, including ivory, balls of glass, rubber sole, cartilage of beef, wool of Terylene, perch of gutta, Dicora, polyethylene pads, sponge (Ivalon) polyvinyl alcohol-formaldehyde polymerIvalon in a polythene bag, sponge foam formed (Etheron), polyethylene (Polystan) Ribbon forming a ball, polyester (sponge polyurethane foam) rubber Silastica, and teflón-silicona prostheses.
In recent history, several creams and medications have been used as attempt to increase the size of the bust. Berson in 1945 and Maliniac in 1950 performed a flap dermafat. Pangman introduced the sponge of Ivalon in 1950, and various synthetic materials were used through the 1950s and the Decade of the 1960s, including silicone injections. An estimated indicates that these injections were received by about 50,000 women. Development of silicone granulomas and hardening of the breasts were sometimes so severe that women needed to undergo a mastectomy as treatment. There are still women who seek medical treatment for complications up to 30 years after receiving this type of injection.
The increase in volume of the breast was a reliable technique until 1962 when Cronin and Gerow devised the first implant of breast, which manufactured Dow Corning. It consisted of a few bags of silicone sheet medical grade silicone oil-filled.

However, if this is the time you should leave the stress behind and concentrate only on experiencing the joy. Such moments do not come back, not with the same child, so give it your best to it.
Go Back to Work or Not
It is often a dilemma for most mothers to decide whether they should go head back to work post childbirth or not. For those who have to work in order to survive have no other option but to return to work.

If you have a good punch, you are known to have heavy hands and in the fight scene, everyone will be afraid to mess with your striking power.
Dan Henderson's KO of Michael Bisping at UFC 100 is a fine example of a solid punch.
So how do you train for heavy hands?
A recent article yet to be published in the Strength & Conditioning Journal has looked at coming up with a way of training for heavy hands, particularly when performing the Cross (the punch with your hand at the back). The same principles may be applied to other punches as it is transferable and punches should all be generated in the same format.
So here's a brief explanation of the biomechanics of any punch. Movement is initiated from the hips and force is transferred for the tripe extension of the hip, knee and ankle through the core into the shoulder and onto the arms. If it's a jab or cross, the force is more horizontal while if it's a hook or uppercut, the force is transmitted in a slightly rotational (transverse) or vertical direction.
So, the experts in this review came up with five principles to help increase the power of the punch. The principles are:
- Increasing the force output from the push-off leg
- Increasing stability in the supporting leg
- Increasing the use of elastic energy in the core
- Increasing the amount of force produced upon impact
- Increasing the speed of movement of the punch
Increasing Force Output from The Push-Off Leg
The power of the punch actually begins from this movement of pushing off with the back foot to generate the punch. Research have also shown that in elite strikers, their force is actually generated more from the legs and hips than the arms and shoulders. The triple extension of the leg as mentioned earlier is pivotal to creating a very powerful punch.
To train for this, movements involving the triple extension motion should be considered. To build the strength, focus on squats and deadlifts and to translate that to power, practice the Olympic lifts such as snatches and cleans.
Increasing Stability In The Support Leg
By having a more stable support leg, you are able to transfer the force generated by the other leg (push-off leg performing a triple extension) into your shoulder and subsequently your arm and fist for a stronger impact. If the support leg is unstable, you lose the energy you are trying to transfer through your core and end up losing power in your punch.
This can be trained by lower limb plyometrics to increase the stiffness of the muscles in your legs. Plyometric exercises not only increase stiffness in the muscles and tendons, but such exercises also increase the ability to utilise the stretch-shortening cycle of your muscles and tendons to produce force. This means that, when your muscles and tendons get stretched, the elastic energy created is better utilised in a subsequent contraction of the same muscle, allowing more force to be generated. In terms of your support leg, by having it as stable as possible, more force can be transmitted into your punch and you better utilise the force you produce from the beginning instead of losing it which could increase the risk of injury. Drop jumps and box jumps are good for training this.
Increasing the use of elastic energy in the core
As mentioned earlier, the punch is first generated from the legs and hips and gets transferred to the core before the power is transferred into the shoulder and punching arm. The same mechanism of plyometric exercises enhancing the stretch-shortening cycle of muscles can be applied to the core when trying to increase punching power.
As the core is required to perform a rotational movement to transmit the force generated from the legs to the arms, the muscles of the core get stretched first and subsequently contract again to allow the summation of forces to carry over to the shoulder and arm. So again, this can be trained through plyometric exercises for the core. This includes rotational ball throws/slams or even resistance-band throws.
Increasing the amount of force produced upon impact
This simply means just punching hard. But how do you ensure you are training the right way to punch harder? The first thing you need to understand is that upon impact of a punch, the muscles naturally relax, known as the relaxation phase of a punch which allows more force to be transmitted onto the contact surface. It is also a technique which helps prevent injury from the impact forces of a punch. Hence, to make a punch more efficient, increasing the force at point of impact before the relaxation phase occurs is important. However, during situations involving sparring, the impact of the punches are reduced to prevent injury to both fighters.
So in order to train for a heavier punch and increasing the force you produce at the point of impact, you need to do more pad/bag work as there would not be a deceleration of your punch before the point of impact. It allows you to punch harder as you would not be afraid of hurting one of your training partners. In simple words, to punch harder, you just gotta train by punching hard.
Increasing the speed of movement of the punch
The speed of the punch is what determines the effectiveness of the punch. Power is the product of force x time. The shorter time you take to produce the same amount of force, the amount of power you produce is increased. In terms of punching, the mass you are training to move is your fist. The faster you can move your fist over the same distance, you are going to produce more power in your punch.
To train for this, you want to try to increase the speed of moving your fist fast. This can be done with medicine ball throws in your power arm (the arm at the back in your boxing stance). The load used here is critical as you do not want to overload the arm which defeats the purpose of training for speed. Keep the load light-moderate and focus on the speed of arm extension.
The guys who came up with this review have put together a sound training method for increasing your punching power through scientific interpretations of theory. Give them a try in your training program and soon, your punches will be like freight trains going through your opponents!
Stay Strong and Keep Punching,
The Training Geek.

Everything About Cheap Dedicated Server In IndiaPossessing a dedicated server is comparable to owning an unaffiliated dwelling.

The Essential Pool Equipment Checklist
A swimming pool can be the perfect place to relax on a hot summer day, but as any pool owner can likely testify, there is a lot of work involved in maintaining a pool and a lot of equipment. According to the Huffington Post, one in five people use the swimming pool as a bathroom, which means that cleaning and sanitizing the water is of the utmost importance. That being said, the essential pool equipment checklist contains everything an owner needs to keep the water clean, sanitized, and free of debris.
Swimming pools are basically large basins of water, and that water needs to be moved around in order for any type of care and maintenance to take place. Therefore, the pump is one of the most important pieces of equipment for any owner. The pump needs to be large enough to effectively circulate the water efficiently throughout the filtration system. Luckily, manufacturers supply the necessary information with the pool package.
Swimming pool sanitization usually involves two pieces of equipment, and one important category concerns chemicals like chlorine and pH adjustment products. While other methods of sanitization exist, a neutral pH and a satisfactory amount of chlorine is often enough to keep that water crystal clear for the entire summer.
Bugs and other debris are pretty common contaminates in any type of outdoor setting, and the pool filter is usually ideal for removing the tiniest of particles from the water. The filter is connected to the pool and the suction is provided by the filter, and the result is a fine harmony of cleanliness that just about every swimmer will realize.
Test Kit
Swimming pools require a healthy dose of active maintenance. Knowing how much of what chemical to add is one of the most common pool chores, and the test kit care is among the most indispensable methods of getting the information. While traditional kits involve sampling the water and adding drops of indicator solution, advances in the field have produced a number of test strips that give owners plenty of information to move forward with adjustments to the water.
Pools need to be cleaned on a regular basis, and any item the filter does not remove has to be removed by other means. The pool vacuum is a brush like system connected to the pump through the skimmer basket, which makes it the perfect tool to keep leaves, algae, and other unwanted items at bay.
In the end, swimming pool care involves a regular schedule of maintenance. By keeping and maintaining the essential pieces of equipment, every pool owner can spend more time enjoying the pool and relaxing the in sun. After all, a pleasant experience in some sparkling cool water is really what pool owners envision in the first place.

(more…) - You'll be the daddy, I mother, I would want a daughter. Continuing all the while stroking his dick, I did not even notice as has already managed to finish a couple of times. (more…) This failure at once disheartened me and I alternates to the station to leave. Because it is actively fucking with her boss, I realized that from sleep was gone. I will punish you for what you are walking around the apartment in my mother's coat. Ira innocently looked at me, took off her robe and lay down on the sofa. Light elements of violence and resistance to short my Irki completely disoriented me.
The voice was somehow mechanical, clearly changed, gnashing at the bottom of a tin can with a fork. Jerk he Dorval tights, so that similarity of the belt with stockings.
My first thought was that there is a bomb, and it is not ruled out, but so far Limanov wondered whether Davydov did not call to have it all checked out, he called himself.
But doubting immediately, and whether soil oneself so? Because before long I roused himself for a long time I could not resist.
She wound a lover, did not hide from Limanova she had any, measured as a housewife give birth flowers on the windowsills as enclose satin cushions cats.
The scandal gave her estuaries, its sharp horns goat gored, but only once, and his shield when fighting was broken.

With the whistling clouds and chill breezes of falling leaves comes the inevitable: catching a cold. It happened to me, quite possibly because of the underestimated drop in temperature, the "I don't need a coat" attitude in the morning, or the crack in the window left open over night in an effort to omit the smell of cat litter. It's so silly how incessantly I care for the cleanliness of (my cat) Blake's bathroom area when he places his butt almost everywhere else in the house including my face and I am completely unfazed.
Despite the weather it could also quite possibly be the fact that I live in what could most basically be considered a pile of dust bunnies and germs. Like any normal human, it looks great from the outside, I overhear conversations on the sidewalk corner, "What a great apartment that must be," and "Oh I love those windows, what a great view," or, "Perfect place to live," my favorite: "That's the Carrie Bradshaw of Keene apartments." I forget who should receive credit for the last one but it's a golden statement.
But on the inside, hard to get to corners are filled with spiderwebs and dried puddles of God-knows-what that are unscrubbale no matter how hard I try with a heavy duty scrubbing pad, and the dirt on the linoleum tiles is truly an eyesore. The fire alarms, shouting downtown drunks and revving of engines may keep me up at night sometimes, but nonetheless, the way the sun lays sultry across the couch in the evening before setting, the proximity of views, seeing Blake in the arched window looking around curiously at the outside world as I walk home for lunch, it's quite unbeatable.
In the afternoon sun before a 12-hour sleep, a little soup for the sick soul did me well. Here's a recipe based off the spinach, sausage and tortellini soup my mom usually makes, without ever following a recipe. I skipped the noodles because I was really just looking for a super tasty broth with vegetables. I could have even done without the sausage, but it adds a pop of flavor and texture.
You'll need:
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 4 Italian sausages, cut small
- 1 giant onion, chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tsp thyme
- 2 tsp oregano
- 1/4 tbsp Adobo seasoning
- 3 large carrots, sliced
- 2 8oz. cans chicken broth
- 2 1/2 cups water
- 3 large handfuls of baby spinach
Chop the carrots, garlic and onion, set aside. cut the sausage in small, bite-sized pieces. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large pot and cook the sausage till crispy brown and cooked all the way through. Remove from pan and set aside. Add in onions, garlic, and carrots. When onion is tender, add in spices and stir. Add in both, water, sausage. Cover and bring to a boil.
When carrots are soft, stir in the spinach and serve with a thick piece of oat bread. Consume and fall into a deep slumber.

PAL games work on modded NTSC consoles?
I would reckon they worked with a modchip, why else would you mod a dc? (At least from what I understand, this was the original purpose of the 4-wire modchip for DC.)
They should also work with the Action Replay CDX disk. If not, I can provide 8-10 other cd-based type region killers: Utopia, Pelican Codebreaker, DC-X, etc.

any tips on how to auction these off?
Should I sell them as a lot? Or should I bundle the crap games in one lot and sell the good games seperate?
nocturne:"I view terrorists as freedom fighters."
PAL stuff might sell better on a European eBay but there's the bloody fees. When you're sending the PAL DC games through the post, though, you should insert the disc into the manual because the pressure of the postal service tends to snap off the little teeth if the disc is left on them. Most PAL games will play on an American console with a boot disc or on a modified console. Games with no 60Hz mode or games that open with a 50Hz video before the 50/60Hz selection screen are the only problem e.g. Le Mans.
I want the PAL street fighter games, but only only only if you can't sell them any other way.
Like, I'd pay $10 for all of them or something.
thnx for the tips, perhaps you are right about trying to flog them off in pal-land first.Originally Posted by Mikey
I'll get back to you if I don't manage to sell them, but they seem to go quickly on ebay. Frankly I'm not a fan of the series anyway, and I only booted each game once.Originally Posted by Josh

Reading for the Truth: Rhetorical Constructions in Norwegian Fiction
Author: Jan Sjåvik
Reading for the Truth: Rhetorical Constructions in Norwegian Fiction
Through detailed discussion of central works in Norwegian fiction, Reading for the Truth illustrates and substantiates some important points in the theory of literary interpretation. Inspired by Donald Davidson's epistemological concept of triangulation, the author argues that intersubjective literary interpretation is an attractive alternative to critical practices that focus either on authorial intention or on the ability of readers to impute to a text whatever meaning they like. For when the meaning of a text is arrived at intersubjectively by two or more readers it is much more likely to be an instance of critical truth than when its meaning is assigned by an single reader or critic On the basis of this view of literary interpretation, the author discusses such canonical works as Arne Garborg, Peace (1892), Knut Hamsun, Pan (1894), and Ole E. Rølvaag, Giants in the Earth (1924), as well as short stories by Maurits Hansen, Alexander L. Kielland, and Terje Stigen. Focusing on the role of rhetoric and irony in these texts, Sjåvik shows how an intersubjective approach is advantageous, if not indeed necessary, in any serious attempt to establish their meaning.

Why dominance training is so controversial
Dog doesn't listen?
Question: Why does my dog seem to ignore commands? Answer: Ever look at the caller ID on your phone and think, "It's so-and-so with more complaining–this time I'm not picking up…"? Like people, dogs are moved to action by what they associate with pain and pleasure. We will do anything to avoid pain and gain […]
Dog training without treats?
Question: My dog isn't food motivated. Will that make training him more difficult? Answer: Using food as a motivator is one way to train, but there are other ways. When I rescued my Doberman mix, Clyde, both he and I discovered that he was very good at fetching and catching the ball. Although he did […]
Dog training and non-food rewards
Question: What can I use besides food as a training reward? Answer: The answer to this question is both easy and complicated–it really depends on your dog. An appropriate training reward is anything that your dog will work for in order to gain access to it, such as a chew toy, getting to go for […]
Make dog training fun?
Question: How do I get my dog to enjoy our training sessions? Answer: If you really think about it, training time is play time–training should be a fun experience for both you and your dog. Remember to keep your attitude light-hearted and consider this time together a part of the bonding experience. If your training […]
Teach dog to come?
Question: What is the best way to teach my dog to come? Answer: Happily, it's not as difficult as it seems. For starters, I recommend giving the cue "here" rather than "come." The word "come" is used often in day-to-day conversation (come on, come here, come over, etc.) and it can easily lose meaning if […]
Teaching old dogs new tricks
Training adult and senior dogs
Dog recall at the park?
Question: How can I get my dog to come when I call her at the dog park? Answer: The recall at a dog park is a pup's ultimate challenge–there are so many intriguing distractions. And if she figures out that the word "come" usually means playtime's over, she'll be even less likely to obey. The […]
Clicker training?
Question: What's clicker training? Answer: Clicker training has been used for years to train marine mammals, and it's very effective with dogs, too. All you need is a clicker–a small plastic box with a metal tab that clicks when you press it–and treats. Clicker training lets the dog know he's doing what you want precisely […]
First command to teach dog?
Question: What's the first command to teach my puppy? Answer: The first thing your dog or puppy should learn is his name; by that, I mean he should look into your eyes when you say it. The easiest way to teach him his name is to give him a treat each time he looks into […]
Dog ignores kids
Question: How do I get my dog to listen to my children? Answer: It usually boils down to inconsistency. Children tend to be inconsistent in their behaviors while dogs thrive on predictability. Dogs are simply more apt to listen to people who establish clear rules and set explicit boundaries. Dogs live in a black and […]

In working for MCM the past 8 years, the 4 hour plane ride from Birmingham, AL (MCM HQ) to Las Vegas, NV has been become as familiar as a casual stroll around the neighborhood with the family dog (granted I don't really walk my dog very often!). Over this time, I've attended about 10 tradeshows at the fabulous Las Vegas Convention Center, consequently having developed the unique talent of being able to draw out the entire Vegas Strip without missing a single Hotel & Casino in a mere matter of minutes.

One thing that I had to cross off my bucket list before I left Copenhagen was to go boating with Mads and his mom at Furesø lake. Today was the last possible day that we could all go. The weather predictions weren't that great, but we decided to go anyways.
Mads' mom, Anette, met us for breakfast at our place in the morning. After we finished eating the bread Mads had made, we headed on our bikes north to the lake called, "Furesø." On our way to the lake, we stopped, because Anette wanted to see if we could pick plums! She started walking into this field on the side of the road to find the plum tree, but apparently, it was the wrong field. I have no clue how she ever found the plum tree in the first place, but it would have been really nice to be able to pick wild plums.
When we arrived, I was very excited, because I had never kayaked before! We each rented our own kayaks and started paddling around. I got the yellow kayak, because the yellow ones were supposed to be more slow and stable, but Mads and Anette got speedy, red kayaks.
We started to go across the lake with no plan in mind but to enjoy the ride! Mads and his mom liked to go to find more secluded places where there were less people, and the nature was so beautiful!
We paddled around the lake for a while until Mads remembered a really beautiful place he had once canoed to with his dad. The place was a bit far away and we had a three hours before we had to return the boats, so I was given a choice: either stay with my kayak and paddle really fast, or go back and switch my kayak for a canoe that I could share with Mads. I liked the kayak a lot, but I knew I wouldn't be able to paddle nonstop for 3 hours, so Mads and I went back and switched our kayaks for a canoe!
With the canoe, it was much easier to paddle across the lake, especially since I had Mads who was our motor in the back. Now to find the pretty place across the lake! The journey was pretty lengthy. We came to a point where we had to take our canoe out of the water and slide it over to another part of the water. Good thing there were two little kids there to help us!
Right after we got back into our canoe, there was a very low bridge we had to go under. It was small and narrow, so I had to practically lay in the canoe in order to fit under. I didn't like it under there. It made me feel a little claustrophobic.
But going under the bridge was worth it, because we arrived in the beautiful place right after! It was very secluded compared to the rest of the lake. Anette said that it reminded her of the canals in Venice.
But as soon as we arrived, the rain began. At first the rain wasn't that bad, and we ate some sandwiches under a tree and talked. But then, it began to feel like the rain was never going to end!
After we ate we decided to tough out the rain and try to head home. We reached the place where we had to slide our canoe to the other part of the water when the torrential downpour started. We abandoned our boats on the slide and ran to a nearby bus stop to take cover. It felt like the heavens opened, and all the rain was just pouring down.
Anette and I ran to go get hot drinks at a near cafe, and Mads stayed in the bus shelter to keep an eye on our canoe and kayak. I don't think I have ever been so wet in my life. My rain jacket is really pretty and does well in normal rain, but apparently, it couldn't handle this Danish downpour. It wasn't long before all of my clothes were soaked underneath my raincoat, so that was uncomfortable to say the least. When the rain lightened up a little bit, we decided to go ahead and try to paddle back to the rental place before the weather got worse again. When we all got back into our boats, the rain stopped, and luckily, it never came back for the rest of our trip, but we were determined to get back to the rental place anyways, because our three hours were almost up!
Mads and I were leading the way, and we thought we were headed the right direction until we hit a dead end. It's hard to find your way back when so much of the scenery looks the same.
We finally found the right way back, but we had to pass these huge swans. When I was in Germany, I saw a swan try to attack a dog, so I knew how aggressive swans could be. Mads, Anette, and I were all trying to avoid paddle around the group of swans. There was one swan that started to flap his wings near us and hover over the water, and we all got scared and paddled as fast as we could. The swan scared me a lot, but it felt so silly to be running away from a swan. I couldn't stop laughing while we made our escape from the flapping swan.
We made it back to the rental place a little over our time, but it was ok! I had so much fun today. It is probably one of my favorite days here in Denmark. Between the rain, getting lost and the swans, today will always be a funny story to tell! I can't wait to come back to Furesø!
5 Happy Things
- I was happy that Anette came over before the boating trip to eat breakfast with us.
- I was sooooo excited to try kayaking for the first time!
- I was also happy that I traded in my kayak for a canoe with Mads, because I could have never made that journey on a kayak by myself.
- Mads and I had made these chicken bacon sandwiches for lunch, and they were so delicious.
- I was happy that the rain finally stopped, and we were able to paddle home.
*6. Getting lost and running away from the swans made me laugh a lot.
*7. I was so happy when I got home, took a hot shower, and put on dry clothes.

You Tube
For me, the "You Tube" thing is rather odd. Okay, I have to admit, I've only actually watched about 5. Two were done by our son-in-law on our grandson Aidan-one before being born of our daughter's stomach bouncing around while he was obviously in utero kicking away, the other about 14 months later of him doing the "hot dog" dance during a Mickey Mouse Club show.
The third was a video a great writer colleague did to advertise a book she had done-of which I took a part in, so a picture of me was in it. It was really fun!
The last two-one I cannot remember. The last was of the medical in nature. I'm probably going to have some hand surgery soon, so I was researching on Google when a "safe" link came up stating it was on the said site-so being curious I watched it.
It was pretty informing and it actually made me feel better. It didn't gross me out a bit. Of course, I also watched (pre-You Tube) a video of what my cataract surgeries would look like, other people's MRI shots of their bulging L4,5 and S1 degenerative discs (yes, I looked at ones that showed the corresponding neck discs as well)and even some fairly gnarly videos on caesarian sections.
On Face Book, lots of people put links to You Tube videos and I never go on there-but I've heard of others who are addicted to the site.
I guess I'm writing this because while I understand how watching some of the videos can be interesting to everyone if you know the person either in or creating it or if the subject is something you need to learn more about, I don't understand how people find the other ones that "go viral".
This could be the "technodweeb" in me coming out-but how does someone even find things such as the one of the girl who evidently couldn't sing? What do you do? Go to Google and type in "video of girl who can't sing, singing"?
And to those who put their videos on YouTube, if you're one of those lucky ones whose "few frames" does go viral-do you make money off of it?
I'm sure if I thought about this, I'd start wondering about all those people who also have blogs that actually earn money from them. Questions would start floating around in my head such as, what is their subject that others find so interesting? How did people find them? Where did they get the idea for their musings? How did they get lucky enough become this popular?
One of the things that we all have heard is that "if you follow your passion, the money will come".
If that's true, how long are you supposed to wait? I write because I can't imagine not doing so. I'm sure those submitting videos to You Tube do so because they too can't imagine not creating little short and hopefully entertaining films.
When it comes to blogging and "You Tubing"-I guess I'm still searching for answers.
Carine, I'm not a big YouTube fan either. I will go there to watch animations of things like cardio dynamics. lymph flow, white blood cells and such since I've been in school. I watched a sheep brain dissection the week before I had to do one in lab. That was interesting. But to just go to YouTube and watch other people's stuff, I have no interest.
One thing you could do with your blog if you're so inclined is to add some video clips of cooking demos and helpful hints but then that means letting people into your kitchen and having to adjust lighting, get someone to film and the like.
Your passion is food journalism and it would be a shame for you to give that up. I know the economy has taken its toll on your industry but gosh I'd hate for you to give up what you love to do. I hope there's a way to hang in there and wait it out with this economy of ours.
LOLOL, oh Cynthia that is a great thought-but I can't even figure out how to post a picture on my blog!!!!
Carine...I think you have a passion for writing... and you do it very well. Sorry I dont comment each time I read it...but because of health issues it has been difficult. Keep it up. I love to read what you write
victorious-understand completely. I have numerous ones myself. the real challenge will be in a few weeks when I have hand surgery and have my grandsons here in mid-May!

Please wait while the changes you have made are submitted. This may a take a few minutes depending on the nature of the update
Purchasing your first home is a great achievement, however, it can be a daunting step. Technology takes some of the pressure off by creating some clever short cuts. Take a look at the following:
Buying a property is full of new procedures that can be extremely confusing if you are new to the property market. The House Hunter app is a great tool for first home buyers as it can make the process easier and quicker.
Some of the useful features include: track and compare and unlimited number of houses, a scoring method to help identify which house suit your needs, list of information of each property including 'must-haves' and 'missing', a mortgage calculator and a Quick Notes feature to save time and typing when putting in information about a property.
Are you buying your first property in Victoria? Then this app will be extremely useful. The State Revenue Office of Victoria app helps first home buyers assess what Victorian grants they are eligible for. The Land Transfer Duty calculator is also available with this app.
Do the terms stamp duty, transfer fees, first home concessions and mortgages make your head spin? Then take a look at the tapMortgage app to help clear the air. This app has a range of calculators for the items above as well for total interest paid, total savings for weekly or fortnightly repayments compared to monthly repayments as well as the savings you would make based on any extra repayments.
tapMortgage can help give you an indication of how much you can afford.
Open inspections are a large part of house hunting, but can be time consuming.
MyOFI is a great way to organise and speed up your open for inspection schedule. Being one step ahead of other potential buyers in the market can make all the difference.
All you need to do is sign up, enter your contact information and property search requirements and the app will give you an individual QR code. You can then give this to the real estate agent at every open house instead of filling out your information, saving you time.
This app also allows you to log all of your inspections to help you keep track. It will store the photos, address and agent's details as well as any notes you wish to include yourself.
Are you struggling to save for a 20% deposit? Saving 20% of the purchase price or more cannot only help give you a more competitive interest rate, but it can also keep other costs to a minimum, such as Lender's Mortgage Insurance.
With this app, you simply enter a target amount and a target date and this app will give you a suggested schedule and will also track your progress. It will let you know how close you are to your target date, what proportion of your target you've saved and whether you are ahead or behind schedule. What's even better is that you can create as many savings goals as you like.
Saving for a large deposit can be extremely advantageous when it comes to applying for a home loan, so the more you can save, the better.
