The old grey donkey, Eeyore stood by himself in a thistly corner of the Forest, his front feet well apart, his head on one side, and thought about things. Sometimes he thought sadly to himself, "Why?" and sometimes he thought, "Wherefore?" and sometimes he thought, "Inasmuch as which?" and sometimes he didn't quite know what he was thinking about.
Thank you for taking time out of your day to leave a comment. It's appreciated.

This Calvin Klein Super Bowl commercial can be summed up simply: eye-candy.
Languorous, sexy and a little gratuitous, the ad stars chiseled male model Matthew Terry and was immediately embraced by many drooling netizens on Twitter:
OK, ladies, we have our Bar Refaeli moment. Thank you Calvin Klein. #superbowl2013
— Cindy Gallop (@cindygallop) February 4, 2013
Ladies, start your Google searches: RT @charlottecowles: The guy in that Calvin Klein commercial is Matthew Terry, and he is a just a gift.
— Elizabeth Holmes (@EHolmesWSJ) February 4, 2013
I wish there was a Calvin Klein fashion show to counter the Victoria's Secret one
— Sam ⚓ (@sammmy_dee) February 4, 2013
Wonder if they are gonna play that Calvin Klein commercial again..I vote yes. 😳😍👍
— Stefani Camacho (@scamacho20) February 4, 2013
I coulda grated cheese on that Calvin Klein model's belly. (and probably pressed a panini in his buddocks)
— Paula Pell (@perlapell) February 4, 2013
CLICK HERE to see the rest of the 2013 Super Bowl commercials as well as all of the best, worst and most unforgettable from the past.
As the San Francisco 49ers and Baltimore Ravens battle for the right to lift the Lombardi Trophy, Super Bowl advertisers compete for another prize: your attention. Each time that CBS cuts away from Super Bowl XLVII to pay the bills, another group of blockbuster commercials and movie trailers was unveiled (although many had been teased). Take a look around your Super Bowl party. Are people paying closer attention during the game or the commercial breaks?
CLICK HERE to visit our Super Bowl Live Blog to check out the latest on-field action.
While memorable Super Bowl commercials like Apple's '1984' and Snickers' spot that featured Betty White will be remembered so many more are soon forgotten or, even worse, ridiculed as super fails. Will this ad make this year's best list? Is it controversial? Or, even worse, destined to be forgotten?

James Clerk Maxwell turned the scientific world upside down in the late nineteenth century with his theory of electromagnetism, which predicted that an electromagnetic wave would propagate in vacuum with a constant speed.
His prediction was at odds with classical mechanics, and some scientists devised new ideas to reconcile the discrepancy. One of them was Albert Einstein, who proposed the theory of relativity in the early twentieth century, which became a pillar of science.
The equation E = mc2 sparked a revolution of perspective-resulting in the perspective of absolute time and space that had prevailed in Newtonian mechanics being displaced by the perspective of relativistic space-time in Einstein's theory.
Thanh Giang Nguyen, however, realized while studying the theory of relativity that fundamental concepts in Newtonian mechanics can also be used to show E = mc2, as outlined in this book.
Join the author on an incredible journey into a distinct world that is defined by absolute space and time when you go Beyond the World of Relativity to the World of Invariance.

Can The New York Times' Credibility Committee Fix the Paper of Record?
Bill Keller probably has the toughest job in the MSM. He took over the severely listing ship of The New York Times in July 2003 in the wake of the Jayson Blair scandal and the departure of Howell Raines and Gerald Boyd as, respectively, executive editor and managing editor. In so many ways, Keller returned to a newsroom in unprecedented dissarray.
Among the measures taken by Keller and others was the appointment of a Credibility Committee made up of Times insiders - with a heavy emphasis upon people from the paper's Washington Bureau - who were tasked with recommending approaches to restoring the paper's tattered position as the daily newspaper of record.
The committee delivered its recommendations last year. Earlier this month the committee issued a status report on implementation of its recommendations. Keller has now responded to the updating with a memo of his own to newsroom colleagues.
Taken together, the committee report and the response to its recommendations by Keller and the rest of the Times' newsroom leadership and rank and file represent a milestone in the MSM's history. For that reason, both bear serious thought and analysis. The committee report is here and Keller's first response is here. I will have my own observations later this week.
Meanwhile, others are reading and reacting. Tom Maguire of JustOneMinute.com evidently is not heartened, observing of a Keller admission of confusion among some readers about when the Times is reporting the news and when it is commenting about the news: "I filed this under 'No Kidding': 'Even sophisticated readers of The New York Times sometimes find it hard to distinguish between news coverage and commentary in our pages.'" Maguire extracts a number of crucial quotes from Keller here and summarizes the committee's main points here.
Editor & Publisher is promising multiple stories on the report and Keller response. The first article from the daily newspaper industry's leading trade journal is here.
Stay tuned, folks.

About twelve years ago Chris and I drove to Cornwall in our old VW camper van and bummed around the beautiful coastline. It was a surprisingly hot summer and I'd packed hardly anything appropriate so whilst there I got myself a hat and a pair of shorts...I loved them equally and as is the way I still have them. On a g-o-o-d day I can squeeze into the shorts, and the hat? The hat's always sat snugly on my (scarily large) head and it would take Mother Nature at her absolute worst to get so close as to flick the brim.
Whilst looking through some photos earlier I realised that my hat's accommpanied me on all manner of adventures. As the saying goes, 'if these walls could talk'......without a shadow of a doubt the same could be said for my faded old hat and those dang swirly blue and white shorts:)

Our bedroom windows face east and south, which I love because it's bright in the morning. But I hate because it's bright in the morning (difficult to sleep in).
I bought these curtains and the curtain rods at Target. The curtains are Eclipse Fairfax Thermaweave in Tan. They are supposed to be "black-out" curtains and block out over 90% of the light. After I got home, I read the reviews and was concerned that they might not actually block out that much light. The reviews on Target are really negative.
But here's our experience:

Well, I'm 5w1d, today. I feel like I am playing the waiting game...just waiting for the other shoe to drop. I check every time I go to the bathroom to make sure I haven't started bleeding, yet. It's scary being pregnant again after so many losses. I'm so grateful to have all my fellow BLMs and friends along this journey with me. I think I might go insane with worry otherwise! So my HCG is more than doubling like it is supposed to. The first draw was 37, the 2nd draw was 101. I had another draw today and I'm hoping that it is over 1000...anything from 808 on up would actually be ok. My progesterone was a little low at 10. So I'm hoping that it has increased since last week. I should get my numbers back either today or tomorrow morning. It's hard to wait for results. Please continue to pray that this is our sticky bean. We need all the help we can get! That's all for today...just a quick update.
Live, Laugh, Love,
Leaving this world I've known......

The moon... oh the full moon...
The moon was high, full. Starry orbs glittered brightly in the night sky. Anna Winpurr bit her lip as she stood perfectly still on the top of the hill leading to the Cottage. Another dream was bringing her here, she knew that now, Anna shivered and padded silently down the hill. Now she stood inside the burnt out hollow of the Cottage and looked around with mixed feelings as poignantly sad memories mixed it up with happier times. She felt overwhelmed. Anna winced and waited...for something, anything to happen.
She did not have to wait long. The night sky was brilliantly white all of a sudden. Anna shielded her eyes from its´ heavenly glow. Once it died, standing before her was a rather angelic looking ghost. She was willowy, lithe and as white as freshly fallen snow. She was strumming a guitar and humming the last strains of ´Give Peace a Chance´ mixed with a healthy dose of "All You Need is Love."
She seemed somehow familiar to Anna. It was almost as though they had met before. Anna smiled despite herself. This ghost's presence was soothing her aching heart...not just a little… but a lot.
Willow-Maya purred and then she smiled benignly as she read Anna´s mind.
"Yes, dear, we have met before in the haunted rooms section of Castle Clydula. Exciting time that, don´t you think? I loved modelling those fantastic Clawde creations. By the way, I am Willow-Maya your Catmas present, so to speak. Come now and let us look together at three Catmas presents. Perhaps the Catmas spirit will find you on this night.
Anna sincerely doubted it, and yet her battle worn heart warmed to Willow-Maya's gentle smile as once more she strummed the opening chords of "All You Need is Love."
The ghost and Ms. Anna Winpurr vanished together into the night.
Suddenly they materialized at the very headquarters of Mogue Magazine. It´s Catmas Eve and her remaining employees, all three of them, are doing the work of 10 cats. Molly Daman´s Cellphone rang to a Jingle Bell Rock tune, but the other employees gave him a stern look. One of them, Betsey Blythe begged him "shhhhh! Do mew want to get fired too? The old bat won´t hesitate to send mew packing as well! Then Queenie and I will end up doing YOUR job too! I would like to leave this office before the year ends, at least.... Please! change that tune! Better yet! Switch it off!"
"But it´s Catmas Eve!" replied Molly "My boys and the missus miss me! And I miss them... We shouldn´t be here working today. And mew know what? I don´t care if I get fired. There are many magazines out there, but I only have one family". He stood up and took a nice cat stretch.
"Please, don´t! Stay! Do it for us! we´ll never leave this glorified sweatshop if mew leave!" implored Queenie.
Molly hesitated. He knew the girls also had families they wanted to go back to. "Okay, okay. Let´s just speed it up, girls. Maybe we can finish all this by tomorrow morning"
"Old Bat! She called me Old Bat! Oooooh she is SO fired!" said Anna watching in awe.
"What do mew want them to call you? Seriously. Mew had a choice, to be respected or to be feared. Mew chose the latter. Just because they are afraid of mew, doesn´t mean the respect mew" said Willow-Maya while tuning her guitar

Good afternoon, I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend :)

Last week and this one I am working every day with an intense swimming course for children 5 years and up. They have 10 days in a row with 40 mins lesson each day in order to get ready for the summer's beach hanging. I have 4 groups every day, which means 3 hours in water for me. Lucky I have my wet suit! 😉
As a swimming teacher, I have some main goal for these kids for the summer, and that is that they learn to have respect for the water but at the same time master it. If they fall into the water, they can get to land quickly.
Now, 1 week into the course and half left, I noticed yesterday how great they got in just 5 lessons, which made me happy! Looking forward to today and to see how much they will develop. On Friday, they have their show off for parents and relatives, and hopefully they get as excited as I am! 🙂

|Winning ugly? Meh, it's early. I'll take it.
Brand new Florida coach Kevin Dineen is likely to start his backup goaltender, top prospect Jacob Markstrom, in goal tonight because starter Jose Theodore played last night in Tampa Bay. Markstrom has yet to play in a game this year, and only has one appearance in his NHL career, in which he allowed three goals on 21 shots in two periods of action. Nevertheless, Markstrom is one of the most highly regarded young goaltenders in hockey and is expected to be all that and a bag of chips, so the Caps will not be getting off easy if they do in fact face the young Swede. The Panthers are missing center Mike Santorelli due to a shoulder injury, but otherwise should have everyone healthy for tonight's game.
For Washington, Bruce Boudreau will likely give the nod in goal to Tomas Vokoun, who has started the Caps' last three games and won them all while posting a 2.57 GAA and .922 save percentage. He is likely to be backed up by either Dany Sabourin or Braden Holtby, as Michal Neuvirth is still "very sore" because of a bruised right foot. On the injury front, Tom Poti (groin) and John Erskine (shoulder) are both out with long term injuries, while Jay Beagle hasn't practiced since his fight with Arron Asham because of facial injuries and is very questionable at best. DJ King is likely to be the healthy scratch, with Mathieu Perreault returning to the fourth line in his stead.
Puck drops for this one 7:08-ish.

Open Letter to Sharpton
I have been following the story of the brutal rape that occurred at Dunbar Village. I am aware that organizers on behalf of the victim repeatedly made efforts to engage you in speaking out on her behalf and on behalf of the residents of that under-served, under-policed, under-resourced community. I know that those efforts fell on deaf ears. For you to appear with the perpetrators' families and the NAACP to decry the "injustice" of keeping them in jail until trial is the height and depth of betrayal to the cause of justice.
I too believe in fairness as it relates to the treatment of prisoners. But I am clear, as you should be, that there are some crimes so heinous and some defendants so lacking in conscience that the public interest is best served by their being held without bail until their trial. Every rape case is not the same. Whether the white teens accused in Boca Raton should be out on bail or not is, therefore, immaterial. Advocate for a speedy trial, but don't insult the victims, the women of that community ,and Black women generally by standing up for young people who in all likelihood have committed an unspeakable and brutal act and calling that a call for justice.
Let me say that for me the final insult was your half-hearted, cast off remark about not supporting the brutality of that crime or any crime against women. The issue of the violence, humiliation, perversion, and torture that the victims endured should not be treated as an after thought, incidental to the larger and more important point. Their injury is really the whole point here. Your callousness contributes to that injury.

In this piece published by the Daily O yesterday, literary agent Kanishka Gupta makes hard but pragmatic observations about the Indian publishing industry and about aspiring writers. Some of these observations are general ones, but since the piece is specifically about film books, he mentions that these don't sell in large numbers; the benchmarks for bestseller status in this category are very low.
That sounds puzzling, given the passion for cinema in this country, but it may have to do with the fact that we don't have a particularly evolved attitude to good popular cinema, or to good writing about cinema. Many professional film reviewers either endorse movies in the most superficial terms, in cliché-ridden 300-word pieces ("it's good entertainment if you leave your brains at home", "four stars for the acting, three stars for direction"), or sit on a pedestal sneering at everything mainstream, making little effort to engage with what they are watching – and then winning brownie points for their "sharp" and "clever" writing. And what is true at the level of reviews holds at the book level too. On the one hand there are academic books meant for a very particular, circumscribed market; on the other, flippant little things that are hurriedly written and published to capitalise on something that's in the news. (A few years ago a couple of big-name publishers were falling over themselves trying to quickly "produce" a book about AR Rahman when his Oscar nomination for Slumdog Millionnaire was announced; of course, the idea was that the book would be ready for publication by the time the awards were announced!) Accessible yet intelligent writing about cinema is still in short supply – though that has been changing to a degree, with the top publishers now showing a little more discernment in their choice of writers and approaches.
Gupta mentions the big market for tell-all star biographies. That makes intuitive sense – of course a book with Salman Khan's or Deepika Padukone's face on the cover, with the promise of juicy, previously unpublished tidbits inside, has greater sale potential than a sombre-looking biography of a less glamorous figure. I would add a caveat, though. My experience, having done two cinema books with big publishers, and also having spoken with other authors of film books, is that marketing is often muddled or indifferent to begin with. Two years after my book about the 1983 comedy Jaane bhi do Yaaro came out, a restored print of the film was released by the National Film Development Corporation. This was after a longish period when this well-loved film had been very difficult to find in stores, so there was naturally lots of publicity and much celebrating. One would think it would be in a publisher's interests to contact stores such as Crossword and Landmark, and get them to do something as basic as display the DVD and the book together (assuming it was too much trouble to tie up with the NFDC for a DVD-plus-book package).
It didn't happen, of course. And I confess to my own indolence in not trying hard enough to make it happen (after sending out a couple of emails making the suggestion). I was happy with the feedback I had initially got for the book; I didn't spent time worrying about sales; everything good that happened – the reviews, the royalty cheques for tiny amounts that still drift in once or twice a year – came as a pleasant, unlooked-for bonus. And it was only with hindsight that I realised that more could have been done: that the marketing people who arranged 4 pm meetings with me at Café Coffee Day (that's a good time, 4 pm – it lets you leave office early "for an official meeting with an author" and go straight home afterwards) and made impressive sounds about "leveraging social media" and "looking at new avenues such as film festivals" didn't bother to follow up on most of their claims.
Anyone who has worked in publishing knows that such missteps are part of the grand dance. However, I also had a problem with a couple of Gupta's points. He is upfront about not knowing much about cinema, but this raises a question that is important to me as someone who does care about films and film writing: how much value can a literary agent dealing with all sorts of books bring to a field that he isn't personally invested in? Wouldn't this inevitably result in pandering to a conservative view of what the readership is like, what a "worthy" book might look like, what will sell and what won't? And we see signs of this near the end of Gupta's piece, where he says:
"I was reduced to tears when a journalist of S's stature started suggesting names such as Joydeep Mukherjee, Mithun Chakraborty […] And horror of horrors, even Bappi Lahiri!"
I was taken aback by that paragraph, because here is a bit of sneering about people who are presumably too slight or not "important" enough as subject matters for a (good/successful) book. But as the critic Victor Perkins wrote once, "The treatment may or may not have been successful: there is no such thing as an unsuccessful subject." A great book can be written on any topic, the same way that a terrible book can be written about an "important" personality like Satyajit Ray. The execution is what matters.
For example, the 1960s actor Joydeep (Joy) Mukherjee is the least well-known, certainly the least fashionable, of the three names that Gupta mentions, but I could easily imagine a book about him – by a hardworking writer – that would not just be about Mukherjee in a narrow sense but would also provide a fascinating window on the Hindi film industry of the 1960s, as well as an examination of that elusive thing called stardom: why did this affable leading man never make it to the heights that, say, Manoj Kumar or Jeetendra did? What does that say about our film-going culture of that specific period, about our expectations of star personalities, about us as viewers?
Again, what is so "horror of horrors" about a book on Bappi Lahiri? There are a dozen different ways in which an insightful – or just plain funny – book could be written about this most flamboyant of music directors. But the biggest surprise on that list is Mithun Chakraborty, because here is a hugely interesting subject to begin with: someone who could be convincing in a Mrinal Sen film AND in Disco Dancer (how many other actors could you say that about?), and was seen as a genuine contender for Amitabh Bachchan's throne for a couple of years in the mid-80s, before he took the route that led to Kanti Shah and to a very profitable and shrewd career in C-movies. A book about Mithun, well done, could be a microcosmic study of Indian cinema; it could tell us much about the workings of, and the interplay between, the various grades of cinema in this country.
More alarm bells at the very end of the piece, when Gupta scoffs at the idea of doing a book about a mere "technician" (who, given the little hints in the piece, might well have been someone as notable as Satyajit Ray's cinematographer). All I can say to this is: it's a pity if film writing in India hasn't reached the stage where a literary agent would feel comfortable midwiving a book of that sort. In other countries with large moviemaking cultures, there are dozens of accessible books on every aspect of the filmmaking process, not just on the most instantly recognizable actors.
Possibly I'm getting idealistic now, and possibly Gupta's intention was only to discuss what is likely to become a bestseller. But his piece also left me with the nagging sense that an agent, even while ruing the many (undeniable) problems in the publishing industry, can become part of the problem. By falling in too easily with the assumptions of a system that has fixed expectations of writers and the market, and needs books to be clearly classified.

what sweetly solemn sound
Rises on the morning air?
Shedding gentle peace around,
And stilling busy earthly care.
The mighty city holds its breath,
As the sacred music swells;
And discord dies a transient death,
While listening to those Sabbath bells.
Hearts that had forgot to pray,
Eyes that had been fixed below,
Now look to Heaven, and ask the way,
As to the house of God they go.
But there is one who hears those notes,
To whom like angels' songs they seem;
O'er whose glad soul the music floats,
Like memory of a youthful dream;---
Far from his well-loved father-land,
From early friends, and blessed home,
Chased by the tyrant's bloody hand,
An exiled stranger, doomed to roam:
In freedom's land a home to find,
He hastens o'er the dark blue sea,
Leaving each youthful joy behind,
And asking only to be free.
And now the blessed tones he hears
Of those soft, soothing Sabbath bells;
And as the shore the vessel nears,
More full and strong the anthem swells.
And as he hears the solemn sound,
He leaps with rapture on the shore:
He feels he stands on holy ground;
Feels that his perils all are o'er.
And see, amidst the gazing crowd,
Unheeding all, he's kneeling there:
To the free earth his head is bowed;
His full rapt soul is lost in prayer.
That prayer shall not be breathed in vain;
Nor vain the sacrifice he made:
There is a Hand will give again
The wreath that's on his altar laid.
Religious freedom continues to be central to the concept
of political liberty as it is understood by early nineteenth-
century liberals such as the Follens. Poems such as this also
highlight the centrality of stories of loss and displacement
underlying the nation's growth over the century.

S Rozhdestvom y Novym Godom, tovarichi - and Happy New Year to Workers under Capitalist Masters, also!
I have just returned from bolshoi vacation in celebration of revolutionary new year of 2011 and glorious party for most socialist of holidays, Christmas!
Even in corrupt United States is populist Christmas understood and rejoicing. Of course, Americans are confused about proper day for Christmas. Is not on December 25 from Vatican propaganda says. No, poor Americans. Christmas is actually on January 7, according to proper calendar based in history and accurate Orthodox reading of Bible. In Russia we know real meaning of holiday is for enjoying much happiness and with family. For this, we have one long celebration, from New Year's Eve to Jan 7th. Everyone to go outside and practice skating and hockey. All peoples are together in equality of wonderful Socialism and there is much rejoicing. It is for this reason that Russian Governement allows Christmas celebration -- and not for drain money from pockets of peasants and workers. But Americanski is wrongly changing meaning of Christmas by making too much of buying and spending all their money on status-symbol gifts, and turn Christmas into profiteering and benefit of overseers and bourgeoisie at expense of proletariat.
Xmas? Nyet, comrade. Christmas is not about peddling flesh and getting prostitute for degenerate sex.
Sad, backward Americans, always for trying and trick People instead of embrace real message of Christmas. Is like old Russian saying: "Us v chest a boroda i u kozla yest" which is mean, A moustache is be making respected but even goat will wear beard!
Certain Western Economists in fit of jealousy and trying to bury wonderful Marxist origin of Christmas have been to critisize our weeklong national holiday, saying this is being to weaken powerful Russian economy and placing us two weeks behind other nations' production. Their backseat driving is silly nonsense. As in spirit of Socialism and placing good of state over individual, all workers simply work harder in final two weeks of January month!
Is understandable misconception by Western stooges: lazy Americans think that nothing will be accomplished unless workers are slave for corporate barons on job six days a week. Is remind me of joke popular in days after I left top job in CCCP. Someone will ask question of what is difference between Capitalist Hell and Soviet Hell? Here is answer: in Capitalist Hell, demon in top-hat and monocle drive eight centimeter nail into your ass every day at 8 AM, and after one month have 30 nails. In Soviet Hell, first ten days of month is no nails on shelf, so no driving. Next nine days, manager demon is in committee meetings discussing productivity and goal for next month. Next five days, worker demons are out sick. Next five days after, hammer is broken and new one must be procured. But on thirtieth day, all thirty nails are driven in.
See? So is just the same.
до свидания до следующего времени, капиталистов!

Cuban-Style Pork & Rice
Full of spice and exotic flavors, this Cuban take on the classic Spanish paella is an easy way to feed a hungry crowd. Don't worry if you have leftovers. They can easily be rewarmed in a microwave or combined with eggs to make a Spanish tortilla (omelet); or for a great cold dish, toss the leftover rice with cooked vegetables and a vinaigrette made with lime juice instead of vinegar.Ingredients
Total Time: 1 3/4 hours
1/4 cup paprika
1/4 cup lime juice
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
2 tablespoons rum, (optional)
2 teaspoons minced garlic, plus 2 tablespoons chopped garlic, divided
2 teaspoons fresh oregano, chopped
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 1/2 pounds boneless pork chops, (3/4-1 inch thick), trimmed, cut into cubes
2 cups onion, chopped
2 cups arborio rice, or short-grain brown rice
2 14-ounce cans reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 cup canned diced tomatoes
2 tablespoons capers, rinsed
1/4 teaspoon saffron threads, (see Note)
16 large raw shrimp, (21-25 per pound), peeled and deveined (optional)
2 cups frozen artichoke hearts, thawed, or cooked green beans, fresh or frozen, thawed
1/2 cup roasted red peppers, cut into strips
10 servings, about 1 1/3 cups each
Combine paprika, lime juice, 2 tablespoons oil, rum (if using), 2 teaspoons minced garlic, oregano, salt, pepper and cumin in a medium bowl, stirring to make a homogeneous paste. Add pork and stir to coat.
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the pork, leaving any excess spice mixture in the bowl to add later. Cook the pork, stirring, until just cooked on the outside and the spices are very fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer the pork to a plate.
Add onion and the remaining 2 tablespoons garlic to the pan and cook, stirring often, until the onion is softened, 4 to 5 minutes. Add rice and cook, stirring, until well coated with the onion mixture. Stir in broth, tomatoes, capers, saffron and any remaining spice mixture. (If using brown rice, also add 3/4 cup water now.) Bring to a boil, then reduce to a low simmer; cook, stirring occasionally, 15 minutes for arborio, 30 minutes for brown rice.
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Stir shrimp (if using) and artichokes (or green beans) into the rice. Cover and bake for 20 minutes. Stir in the pork and any accumulated juices from the plate; scatter roasted peppers on top. Cover and continue baking until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed (if you've added shrimp, they should be opaque and pink), 10 to 15 minutes more.

Day 1 - a favorite song
The first song that came to my mind was Carrie Underwood and Vince Gill's version of "How Great Thou Art" that they performed together at the Academy of Counrty Music's "Girls Night Out" special last week. A truly a-m-a-z-i-n-g performance of a favorite Christian hymn. I have played it over and over all week long. So touching! Click on the video to watch.

"We are going to go to the day shelter and give women beauty treatments. Want to come? You might be helping with haircuts, or painting nails…I think there might even be a massage therapist there. "
I found myself saying that I would go. A few days later when we arrived I found myself giving pedicures and that means that I was washing feet. There were homeless women with missing teeth, homeless mommas, and homeless teenagers. For the most part they fit the stereotype. For the most part. They are people.
And while I wasn't expecting to be washing feet, just painting toenails, there was a bigger surprise waiting. See this had been set up as a way to serve women in the community, but the men wanted to be a part as well. And there was a man who sat down at my station. His feet needed to be washed. And I sat there, with the tub in front of me and washed and scrubbed and rubbed lotion on his worn, callused feet.
I also had the opportunity to wash a pregnant woman's feet and paint a frilly French pedicure that day. She had her daughter about 8 years old with her. It was pink for the little girl and a deep foot rub for her momma. It was humbling.
Today I was thinking about Easter. It's one of the most important holidays as a Christian. At the last supper Jesus washes the disciples' feet. It says {he} rose from supper. He laid aside his outer garments, and taking a towel, tied it around his waist. Then he poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples' feet and to wipe them with the towel that was wrapped around him. John 13.4-5
Have you ever washed someone's feet? It's humbling, on the part of the receiver. It's a gift that is a symbol and an act. When we wash our feet we are preparing them to do work. Our feet work the hardest and receive the least attention, at least mine do.
We are called to be hands and feet. Tangible work. It's through the gospel that this work acquires meaning and we are humbled.
How beautiful are the feet that bring Good News Romans 10.15
So as we come towards the last supper I am going to be looking down…at my feet. In reverence, in awe.

So, I saw this photo the other day
And it inspired me to write this:
"When your ex downgrades". This is a phrase that has been floating around the internet a lot as of late, and it's usually in reference to an individual's physical appearance. There are an endless supply of memes regarding this idea, and sure, they may be funny to see for a split second - I will be the first to say when I saw this photo below, my reaction was "HAHAHAHA".
I think it's hilarious as a joke (I just love how sassy it is).
But if you actually, seriously analyse comments like these:
…it's wrong on so many levels.
I can sum up my views on phrases like that by saying one simple sentence:
Attractiveness, beauty, being good-looking or 'hot', has absolutely NO relation to creating or being in a good relationship.
Simple as that. No relation whatsoever.
By no means am I discounting that physical attraction plays a significant role in relationships (but that's for another blogpost…), however, what is anyone's right to judge what is attractive to another individual? Let alone what is mentally and emotionally fulfilling for them.
Generally, most of us hate being judged, right? Yet, it's something we all do quite a bit. But, can you imagine if you were someone's new boyfriend or girlfriend, how would it feel being referred to as the "downgrade"? I mean, I would hope you would know your own self-worth enough to not let it affect you, but it isn't the loveliest thought hey?
One thing I've always found interesting, is when someone says "Oh did you hear Tim got a new girlfriend?", one of the very first, if not the first, question asked is, "Is she pretty?". Why is that one of the first things we think about? That's a very good question, and incredibly telling of the priorities our society has conditioned us with.
Maybe someone may not find their ex's new partner attractive, but what difference does that make? Leave the ex out of it altogether though! The amount of times it's generally said, "Oh she's beautiful, but her boyfriend isn't that good-looking".
Two words.
Physical attractiveness has no bearing on the quality of a relationship in the slightest. That could be the most solid, supportive relationship right there and the only thing people are focusing on is the outside appearance.
Maybe I'm not one to talk since I've never been put in the situation, but personally, the first two messages in that photo say it all - we are all individuals with different opinions.
Stay true to your opinions and respect others' opinions.

Super Happy Mail Day!
When living in a relatively small town in Maine it is necessary to fulfill my Toy world needs via the internet and stores with an online presence. It is equally important to avoid paying exorbitant shipping charges. At most of the larger online art toy stores this means spending $100 in order to receive free shipping.
While I could easily spend that much and more every week and still not be sated, the reality of my cash flow makes being frugal considerably more prudent. I waited very patiently for a very long time until there was $100 worth of stuff that I had to have. I will do a quick rundown...
Clutter Magazine - What is there to say? Necessary.
Tokidoki zipper pulls. I love zipper pulls and there isn't too much variety out there so these are welcome. They are a little bit more expensive than most zipper pulls but they are bigger too. Let's say I was happy with half of them ;)
Baby Monk by Veggiesomething- Awesome... I was waiting for this to hit the shops.
Munny and Stephan Le Podd - Needed these for customs. They are great of course.
MPH Artist Series Poketo Wallet : Julie West - This one was for my wife and she loved the art but was not too crazy about the wallet. If it had 6 card slots and instead of 3 slots and a coin pocket she would have been much happier.

Samurai Kanser
This is a custom Kanser I just finished up for a collector on the Kidrobot forums. I had free rein on this one and was admittedly a little self indulgent. The collector recently commissioned a number of custom Kansers and I was lucky enough to be one of the artists involved. It was a little intimidating doing this one after seeing several of the other commissions completed by some very talented artists, but I am pretty happy with the results. It should arrive at its destination in a few days and I'll found out what its owner thinks once he has it in hand.
More pictures are available on my Flickr account.

Happy Mail Day! - Custom Glyos
Got this awesome guy the other day. He is a Glyos System Buildman by Onell Design, and custom painted by Dead Presidents' Matt Walker. The pictures really do not do the paint justice; it is beautiful in person. And yes I flipped on of the images to make my composite a little easier to do ;)

Every vacation beginns with the thoughts about how to reach and where to sleep. I told about How To Find Good Flight And Hotel Solutions in different posts in my new travel blog The Marvelous World Of Travel where I described my odeal because I was very worried this booking willnot be valid when we arrive or the hotel will be so bad that it will be not possible to stay there.
The hotel was excellent at the end, nobody drove us out, everything was in the best conditions. The full reports in the mentioned blog.
Now I read an other intersting opinion of a family that dreamed to pass the vacation in Thailand. To book their hotel they decided to contact the hotel directly. Because they do not understand English (and the other side was not better probably) they decided first to call the hotel but it was unpossible. Than, they wrote e-mail and received very fast answer. As a result, they had a special price (12 nights for 9), than 10% discount because the hotel decided they bargain the price. There are some countries, where persons that bargain the price are more respected, you know. Maybe it's valid for Thailand too?
At the end, when this family came in the hotel they received a room of the higher category than they paid.
This story learns -and I just understood it before-, it's necessary to try all the possible ways when you plan your vacation. To see what they offer to you. There are sites that offer very good prices -as it happend to us in Milan, sometimes you have to write to the owners -as in this last case, sometimes it's useful to speak in the hotel -it works here, in our zone, for example. I went personally to speak with the owners of the hotel for my friends and they offered me a special prise.
So, be patient when you want to book your hotel -and you will have what is good for YOU.

After we had a terrible experience with a hotel a few years ago, we now leave nothing to chance and prepare well before we go anywhere.ReplyDelete
It's true too. Many Italians claim hotels and tour operators for terrible experiences they, poor, live in their vacations.ReplyDelete
You'd love Thailand. Things are cheap and the people, gentle.ReplyDelete

Finn's in love. I know he's a little young to be in love but he is head over heals in love.
He stares lovingly at his love most of the day. Tonight after his bath and feeding he turned his head, coo'd and gave his love a great big satisfied smile.
I never though I'd be jealous of a ceiling fan. But I must admit....I am. :-)

No. I was just asking you to clarify which stance of his on Cap and Trade was "important" in your mind, as your previously stated. Is it his stance FOR, or his stance AGAINST?

I've decided that on Mondays, the beginning of the work week (not for me, but whatever!), I'll post a more 'work appropriate' manicure, because I do tend to wear slightly more toned down nails at work (if I wear polish at all!), and I thought maybe you might be interested in them!
I know policies regarding nail polish vary from job to job, but I've found I can still get away with a bit of nail art if it's not as noticeable (don't tell anyone though lol). So this will be a semi-regular thing, whenever I have pictures of my work nails basically! It's usually some subtle stamping, but today, some nudey freehand!
|Bonus pic of nail art done with my 'wrong' hand!
The roses are a bit 'meh', but I'm pretty happy with the dots! I worked really hard to try and get them all the same size, because I really struggle with that. These aren't perfect, but they'll definitely do! Especially as no one at work even noticed my nails.
What do you wear to work on your nails?

This is the first painting done in my Figure Comp class taught by Doug Martenson. This was a two session pose, the last session being today during the uninstructed portion of the class which happens every Friday. So it's the first official painting of the semester.
As always you are fighting the changing light this time of the year as the sun sets early so values change pretty darn quick about an hour into class which starts at 1pm. This causes you to rework things, constantly revisit the entire painting. I tried using a new medium today, Detail Liquin, which is thinner than the standard Liquin and dries fast like the thicker medium but allows you to work thinner. Alex Kanevsky uses this medium I am told. This helped tack the painting up quite a bit as I worked, racing the clock. In the end I am happy with parts and in others I wish I had more time as the values were pretty narrow on a lot of the figure. I never got to address the head as much or the hair, but them's the breaks in a class painting.
Lots of things are different this year for me personally and career wise and I am really knuckling down even harder in school. I have big goals and big dreams and I know I'll never get anywhere near them unless I up my game even more. That doesn't mean that I won't have fun, but last year at times I feel I wasn't as focused as I could have been, 2008 was a Fucking Shitty Year, but 2009 seems to be doing much better and I feel more balanced and more focused, my goals are clear, now I have to work hard to get there.

Image by MetaGrrrl via FlickrDuring the recent years, we have been taken over by an experience a lot different from the others, an experience of pure and unadulterated goodness, one that makes a rollercoaster ride like a slow turtle on mud. An experience so magical, so unique and so electrifying that a lot of people are standing in line just to be served the experience-the ultimate coffee experience that is.
We have seen them sprout and mushroom almost everywhere that we can find. Cafes and coffee shops have been steadily increasing in number not only in the urban areas but in the suburban and rural areas as well.
This is brought about by the large demand of the current generation for a place to do their business, meet people, hang-out with friends and spend moments with special people.
Because of the abundance of choices and the seemingly endless choices of products, people are becoming more and more discerning of their choice of venue and product. As they say only the best will survive, and the truth is only those who could provide the best coffee experience last long enough to say how they manage to do it.
Out on a coffee experience
The seemingly endless competition of big and small coffee shop and cafs all boil down to one thing, how you make the coffee. Being the primary product of a coffee shop it is an imperative that the coffee we are served meets the high standards of the consumers.
Not only is the taste being judged, the presentation, the excitement and the experience that it gives and creates in the customer serves as the basis for how much the product will impact the society.
Classic combinations like coffee and sugar and coffee and cream of course will never be out of the picture but since people are looking for an adventure with every cup, it wouldn't be bad to experiment on different brews that would create a sense of anticipation in the part of the consumer.
Trying out different flavors like hazelnut, nutmeg, cinnamon, chocolate, milk, honey, and other flavors that could boost the smell of the already aromatic smell of pure coffee can make a person's day.
Blending coffee with different bases could create a different texture that could promise a different experience every time the customer sips his cup. Blending coffee with different ingredients like ice, jelly and colas could give your boring old coffee a different kick.
Since you have become so brave and creative as far as experimenting with your coffee is concerned, why not try outrageous and totally out of this world blends that would surely be the talk of the town.

We're quickly coming up on the end of our school year. All of our extracurricular activities will be wrapping up in the next few weeks and then it'll be on to summer time! I'll be glad to get a little downtime, if there is such a thing!
On Saturday we had Olivia's birthday party with her friends. We had a wonderful time creating Junior She-Art. I love watching kids be creative.
We went out and enjoyed some of the wonderful weather. Check out our field trips.
I've also been making progress on my trip to Ethiopia. My passport should be here any day, and I've scheduled my appointment to get the necessary vaccinations. My big issue now is to raise the funds. If you would like to help fund the trip to the Ajuja orphanage, please read this post, and find out how you can be a help!
Linking up with the Weekly Wrap Up and Homeschool Review.

I was listening to Michael Graham on WTKK and he had on a guy from National Review Online. I didn't catch the name, but he said the funniest thing. He & Michael were discussing John Edwards and his comments on Hillary's emotional state yesterday. The guy from NRO said that things like this reminded him that John Edwards was a "John Grisham hero in a Tom Clancy world" (or words to that effect).
Love it.

Tagged: David Ortiz
Papi: 'This offense can do some damage'
The volume level and levity both rose the second David Ortiz strolled into the clubhouse on Thursday morning, unofficially marking the beginning of his ninth season with the Red Sox.
Ortiz walked into the room and gave hearty handshakes and hugs to pretty much everyone he crossed paths with. Big Papi could then be heard in a back room roaring, "I'm back."
For all the attention that will be given to the elite newcomers — Adrian Gonzalez and Carl Crawford — and the lineup this season, it remains clear that Ortiz still carries a large presence.
Oritz was honored that Crawford and Gonzalez were asking him for tips regarding life on and off the field as a member of the Red Sox.
"It's my first day here and I've had a lot of questions asked already from those guys, and I'm happy to let them know how things go around here and make sure our fans get another good year from us," said Ortiz.
The way Ortiz looks at it, the 2011 Red Sox just might be able to get back to the ways of 2003-05, when they used to overpower teams from an offensive standpoint.
"I think this offense can do some damage," Ortiz said. "You went and got two hitters, they are troublemakers. They give a lot of headaches to pitchers. I was just in the outfield right now talking to C.C. and Gonzalez. It was funny that they were asking me about approaches, and I was like, man, 'Nobody has better approaches than you guys.'"
So even as Ortiz comes into camp in a contract year, he seemed completely at ease, enthusiastic to see what will happen in 2011.
"I'm just going to focus on playing baseball right now," Ortiz said. "Whatever happens happens later on. Right now, my goal is to have a great start and make sure we win another World Series this year."
Though Ortiz didn't get the multiyear extension he was hoping for this winter, he said he had no problems with Boston exercising its $12.5 million club option.
"I'm happy to be here and I think things went fine," said Ortiz. "They did what they were capable to do at the time. We all agreed. It's just a new year, a lot of expectations. Hopefully injuries stay away from the team. Last year, we had a tough year with injuries."
Ortiz was one of Boston's few stars who had a completely healthy 2010. His big issue was having a brutal April for the second consecutive season. Yet he again bounced back and wound up with his best production numbers (32 homers and 102 RBIs) since 2007.
So how does Ortiz get out of the gate better this year? For all the work he will do on his swing this spring, Ortiz concedes that his head will play a bigger role in the type of start he gets off to.
"I'm just not going to let that get into my head like last year. I know that I can go 0-for-20 like I can go 15-for-20," Ortiz said. "It's just a game. I think last year what happened was I kind of snapped a little bit at the beginning of the season, and it was because I don't think it was fair after the second game of the season people having to doubt you. I guess that's part of the game, and I'm not planning on going through that again. I think all I need to do is not think about it."
But he will think plenty about his swing. And Ortiz now has another lefty slugger to talk things over with.
Gonzalez and Ortiz spent a lot of time during Thursday's workout talking about the finer points of hitting.
"We were talking about approach versus lefties quite a bit," said Ortiz. "We're going to be talking a lot during the year. That's what we were saying. We're going to give each other feedback on things we might be able to pick up."
While Ortiz has been a centerpiece of Boston's attack since 2003, he might be able to stay under the radar a little more this year.
"Well, I don't mind being under the radar. I'm part of this team and I've been here for years," said Ortiz. "It will be crazy for the pitchers how they can focus on a lineup like that. You have a lot of good hitters, one behind another. I don't think I'm going to have to be the guy people are going to have to worry about now."
One area Ortiz hopes to improve on this season is hitting against lefties. Last year, southpaws held him to a .222 clip, with two homers and 24 RBIs in 185 at-bats.
"I have to prove that to myself and to everyone," Ortiz said. "I hit lefties before and lefties normally are tough on lefties, but you have to figure your way out, and that's what I'm going to try and do. I've been working on my swing. I know I can hit lefties."
Rays Trade Matt Garza
This could be good news for Boston… Rich Garza has been a tough foe for Red Sox hitting. Here is how current Red Sox players have done against Garza recently:
Mike Cameron: 0 for 9, 3 K
J.D. Drew: 4 for 34, 10 K
Adrian Gonzalez 0 for 3, 1 K
Jed Lowrie: 0 for 6, 2K
Dustin Pedroia 11 of 42, 3K (3 HR)
Jarrod Saltalamacchia: 1 for 8, 3 K
Jason Varitek: 4 for 27, 9 K
Kevin Youkilis 7 for 40, 9 K
David Ortiz is only 8 of 34, 12 K but does have four home runs. Marco
Scutaro has actually him pretty well (14 of 49), too. Garza has one of
the best fastballs in baseball and when he's throwing it for strikes,
he's devastating. Garza is one of those guys who leaves the hitters
muttering to themselves later on.
With Garza going to the Chicago Cubs, it's safe to say, there is a chance the Red Sox will face Garza in the 2011 season (Cubs visit Fenway Park in May, 2011), but that is a lot less than having him play in the same division.
Matt Garza was traded to the Chicago Cubs along with Fernando Perez for 5 prospects. One of the prospects (Hak-Ju Lee), throws a 95 mph fastball.

Photographer Amy Stein is a city girl. Primarily, she has lived in Washington, D.C., and New York, where encounters between humans and wildlife usually involve squirrels.
So when she went to the country to work on a project about women and guns, she was surprised to hear about more serious encounters, including a girl seeing a bear on the other side of the chain-link fence that separated her home from the mountains.
"I just became fascinated with these stories and so I set out to re-create these stories," Stein said by phone from Parsons The New School of Design in New York, where she teaches photography.
The project is Domesticated, on exhibit at The Art Museum at the University of Kentucky as part of the Robert C. May Photography Endowment Lecture Series. She will talk about the project at 4 p.m. Friday in a free lecture at the UK Student Center's Worsham Theatre.
Domesticated started at Dave Clark's taxidermy shop in Matamoras, Pa., which became the setting for the series.
"He was kind of open-minded to working with an artist like myself," Stein says. "Through spending time in his store and spending time in the town, I became very interested in the location of the town, which is between the Delaware River and a big mountain park. It's a small town sort of sandwiched between two natural spaces.
"As I spent more time at Dave Clark's local taxidermy shop, I was hearing more and more about these human-animal encounters that happened at night."
She tried to wait out some naturally occurring images. For the most part, though, she quickly came to realize that she needed to stage the shots.
"We set out every weekend to create images related to specific stories," Stein says of herself and her husband, John, who made regular trips from New York to Matamoras, about 80 miles northwest of the city.
It turned out to be a really good thing to know a taxidermist. Clark or his customers would lend Stein the animals that would be posed in a variety of looks: a wolf howling at a floodlight in a Target parking lot, a deer lounging in a greenhouse, that big black bear startling the little girl at her swimming pool.
"The bear's face had this ridiculous expression, this open-mouth, aggressive expression," Stein says of the animal, which eventually was photographed from behind. "It took me a while to realize I need to get behind the bear and show the form of the bear without showing the face because that will have more power and also camouflage this ridiculous expression."
Stein says she usually had to take some time to talk with the people whom she asked to be in the photos, to help them understand what she was doing and that this wasn't a "smile for the camera" type of portrait.
"One thing I would always do is bring examples of images that are already made, that are in the style of what I wanted to make," Stein says. "I was lucky at this point that there were some images in Oprah magazine and some pretty big magazines that had published some of the images. That gives you immediate credibility in a sense."
Some photographs were spontaneous, including Threat, which shows a little boy in the woods with a deer, and Fast Food, which depicts seagulls swooping in to eat a discarded burger and fries in a parking lot.
"It's a lot easier for animals to eat our refuse and scraps, because they have calories and protein and they don't have to hunt it," Stein says.
Animals eating humans' discards was one of several themes in the series, along with fences that people build to put up barriers between themselves and the natural world, even though the barriers don't always hold.
In Predator, a little girl stands in a flowery pink dress at the open gate of her fence as a coyote walks menacingly by. Stein says that sometime later, she heard that the same family had trouble with a bear that wanted to hibernate under their house.
Stein says that despite such annoyances, she found that most of the people knew what they were getting into, living where they live.
"They're lovely people who want to share the beauty and wonder of their surroundings," Stein says.
And they have, through her lens.

Egg Yolks, the colored part of the egg, have gotten a bad reputation for being high in cholesterol. As a result, many people prefer to eat eggs without the yolk. Studies in the past few years have shown us a different picture.
A 2012 University of Connecticut study had volunteers consume 3 whole eggs a day or 3 egg whites a day for three months. Both groups experienced drops in bad cholesterol (LDL). But, those who ate the whole eggs saw a bigger increase in their good cholesterol (HDL).
Maria Fernandez, author of the study, says "Egg yolks seem to increase the amount of cholesterol delivered to the liver for removal from the body." So even though egg yolks have cholesterol in them, they help remove more of the bad cholesterol from your body.
In conclusion, Egg Yolks are not as bad as people thought. I recommend eating them because not only do they lower your cholesterol, but you already paid for the egg so you might as well eat the whole thing. Whether runny, firm, or hard boiled, experiment with egg yolks to find which consistency tastes the best for you.

The tag is 5" tall and is comprised of images from the Art Nouveau and Picturesque image sets. All of the paper is Recollections. I used some gold Lindey's spray on the base of the vase and clear Wink of Stella on the flowers and some of the leaves. The ribbon is from my stash. The embossing folder is from Cricut (it twisted a bit as I was embossing but it doesn't look too bad with the vase on top).

Blooming Bulb Flowers at BBTB2
Good morning and happy week after Easter. Melanie is our hostess this week at Bitten By the Bug 2 and her theme for the week is Blooming Bulb Flowers. My project is not a card for a change. I made this thank you tag for someone at work who had held a mini workshop for us before Spring Break that was very beneficial. I want to let her know how much appreciated it was.

Some Green at BBTB2
Good morning! (or whatever time it is when you get here. I am the host person for the week at BBTB2 and since Thursday St. Patrick's I decided to use that as my theme for the week.
My first card is a 5 1/2" square easel card. There are images from the St. Patrick's Day, Seasonal Characters and Holidays Through the Year Iron On image sets. The cream background paper is watercolor paper and the gold in the pot is some shiny paper from my stash. The rest of the solid color paper is Recollections.
Here it is open and standing up. I may put something on the solid green, but I'm not sure yet.
I really enjoy St. Patrick's Day, so I made a second card using the same image sets.
I hope everyone has a great week and joins us for this week's fun!

3-D to Celebrate the 3rd Month
Today at BBTB2 we are celebrating March, the 3rd month, by creating 3-D projects. Since I live in Florida, and it's almost Strawberry Festival time, I decided to make this cute strawberry basket from the Spring Cottage image set.
The paper is Recollections 8 1/2" x 11" so I cut the basket at 8" to make sure it would fit on one sheet. It turned out a pretty good size. There is actually candy in the strawberries. I used the white chocolate M&M's in the strawberry shortcake flavor, they seemed appropriate. The strawberries were embossed with the Swiss Dots embossing folder.
Come join us this week with your own 3-D project.

Thanks to a friend, one of my favorite games of recent memory has been Settlers of Catan. For those of not familiar with this popular board game that originated from Germany, players are tasked to build cities and roads, using resources that are gained by occupying hexagons on the island of Catan. Playing it is certainly entertaining if you are into board strategy games, and with over 15 million copies of it sold, Settlers of Catan has quite the worldwide following.
Well if you happen to be one of those millions that go gaga for Catan, Vectorform Game Studios will soon be introducing a variation of Settlers of Catan on a platform you have probably never seen before – on Microsoft Surface. Still in development, the Surface version of the game will make its debut in Columbus, Ohio at the Origins Game Fair. Although imported to the Microsoft tabletop system, the game is still filled with all sorts of Catan goodness, and the best part is, there aren't any pieces or cards for you to lose.
Also be on the lookout for Settlers of Catan on the Microsoft Surface at this year's Gen Con Indy in Indianapolis, Indiana.

This question relates to the Hyperlynx 'Spicewriter' feature,
which can generate W-element transmission line models for HSPICE.
So far, the files I have succeeded in generating do not include
the frequency dependent losses (Rs for skin effect and Gd for
dielectric loss). I'm hoping that I'm simply overlooking some
setting to add these parameters to the output .RLC files.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks much,

Through The Lens of a Blind Photographer
There's nothing special about a camera. It's the person behind the camera that makes the image what it is. The power of a photograph can change the world. It is in its ability to change the way we see things. Every photographer has a point of view to share with the world, a vision, a story, a dream, a philosophy.
As a legally blind photographer, I'm excited to be a part of London Photo Festival, to share with you, my perspective, alongside with my colleagues. Together, we are shaping the world.
This year's theme is the Four Elements. I've chosen to present a piece that depicts the element of Water. A Hazy Morning in Jinan was taken at Daming Lake in China. Daming Lake is known for its serene landscape and its beauty has been the topic of Chinese literature. The element of Water represents flow energy. It is often used as a symbol for good fortune because flow energy attracts prosperity. I feel that we are living in a fast paced society that needs to slow down and reconnect with nature, so that we can experience flow energy. I often choose nature as my subject matter because i feel that it can help us to connect with our greater existence.
For me, photography has changed my life by changing the way I see things. Being visually challenged, photography has challenged me to see things differently. To see beyond what I can see. To look beyond what is physically there. To capture its essence, its energy, its meaning. It has opened my eyes to looking at the world around me. To seek beauty. To appreciate the world we live in.
Photography has opened a path to new possibilities for me. As a teenager, I was diagnosed with Stargardt disease, a rare genetic condition that causes me to have extreme near-sightedness that cannot be corrected. Hearing that I would never be able to drive, I was devastated. Not being able to travel as easily, I've often felt trapped. Photography offers me a sense of freedom and limitlessness. A way to escape the mundane. To transform the ordinary into something extraordinary. To create a dream world from where I am.
To see our world in a new light is to change the world. What every photographer has to offer is their unique, original point of view. Come experience the world in a new way. Join us, as we celebrate the art of photography at London Photo Festival 2016.

On Personal Ministry
"Personal ministry is not about always knowing what to say. It is not about fixing everything in sight that is broken. Personal ministry is about connecting people with Christ so that they are able to think as he would have them to think, desire what he says is best, and do what he calls them to do even if their circumstances never get "fixed". It involves exposing hurt, lost, and confused people to God's glory, so that they give up their pursuit of their own glory and live for his. It is about so throughly embedding people's personal stories in the larger story of redemption that they approach every situation and relatinship with a "God's story" mentality. We need to be filled with awe at what the Lord has called us to participate in!"
(Instruments In The Redeemer's Hands ; Paul David Tripp; (P&R Publishing, 2002); pg. 184)

Civilization 5: Brave New World Discussion
Trainer Tools and Resources
That is the trainer version I am using, and I too, have the thing where if I am building a wonder and use the instant build (building) option, a couple AI civs get tons of gold. I never change keys, they are always on default.
I don't use that option anymore, I too, use just the cash and buy all of the buildings that help with production, and try to rush wonders.
(I am a wonder hog in every game I restart). I can't help it.
I don't see a huge problem with it though, just an oddity. I also believe it is because they are working on the wonder too.
Side note: research points, it really gives a large amount, maybe next update it can be tweaked a little bit and give the amount needed to finish the current research. Sort of like the "instant build" options. I don't use the research one either anymore. It just puts you too far ahead instead of a slight edge.
Just my opinions though.
You are rushing maybe a wonder an AI just build and couldn't finish...the gold you get depends on how long you already spend on it.
I tried running the Steam compatibility tool as someone suggested earlier and it seemed to be go through the same motions but still none of the options are producing results in-game. I am running Windows 8.1x64 (with built-in Defender)and tried running as admin (and not as admin) still with no results. Every other trainer on the site works for me, this isn't my first rodeo, but I feel like I'm missing something.
Any ideas? Thanks.
EDIT: So I started a new game with the other mods disabled (after trying my current game with the mods disabled except for BNW and it not working) and this time I ran it in DX9 and it works!! Maybe this will help someone.
