The historic barn in Milford, New Jersey that now houses Alba Vineyards winery and tasting room, as well as the Musconetcong Art Gallery, was built in 1805. Within the old stone walls, the aroma of fermenting and aging wine fills the air. The character of the limestone walls and old oak beam framing has not been lost with the installation of modern equipment; in fact, the new lighting system serves to reveal the inherent beauty of the stonework as never before.
"Old Mill Red" is Alba Vineyards standard table wine. The idea was to create a good, solid everyday red. After many years of experimentation, their winemaker has developed just the right blend for their Old Mill Red.
The wine is a blended of several different completed wines. It is made up mostly of Marechal Foch and Chambourcin, but there are also small amounts of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Cabernet Sauvignon. Each wine is made seperately, and then aged seperately as well - until the final blend. The wine is then matured in small American white oak from the Ozarks of Missouri for 8-10 months.
This was a wonderful surprise. The wine is a medium-to-dark plum-ish red. It has cherry on the nose and had a whiff of vanilla on the nose. There's lots of cherry here. Mostly dark cherry, but there is some small amount of bright cherry as well. A hint of plum also. The wine has wonderful fruit up front. ery approachable and with low-tannins.
This is a wonderful, inexpensive red table wine. Dry and delicious. Congrats!

I decided to finish all the hibernating works. I had the courage to start steaming the squares I started last year. The biggest problem is that i don't know how to match the colours. I have the same problem with the ribbons. So, if you can help me with this issue, please feel free to give ideas about it.
Wishing a great week to everybody!
This is the first beret I have done. It wasn't easy to knit it, but I finished after do and undo.

"The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides."
~ Audrey Hepburn
I have always had a fascination with eyes. Whenever I have been in a doodling state of mind, I usually doodle eyes. When I am consciously working on a piece of art, eyes usually enter into the mix. In my paintings that involve people as the subject matter, one of the first things people comment on are the eyes. I don't create renderings that would be considered 'realistic', but the eyes have a sense of life. The paintings below are a couple of mine...they are older works, and the photos are not very clear, but they are representations of my style.
|(Painting on the left is from my imagination; Right: Trent Reznor)
While looking around on the net, I came across some pictures of eyes. Irises to be exact. The colored ring of the eye from an up close and personal perspective. Absolutely fascinating. Seeing the chaotically radiating meshwork of Stroma (connective tissue fibres) in such detail was beautiful. So delicately designed, the formations look like tediously created works of abstract art. Some even look like a colorful yet eerie forest of naked and contorted trees.
The delicately beautiful Iris serves as one of the most important features of our eyes. Located behind the cornea and in front of the lens, it expands and contracts to open and close the pupil, in response to light levels. It helps to protect the retina. Around the edge of the iris are the 'Canals of Schlemm'. The canals allow aqueous (watery) fluid to drain back into our bloodstreams. Running along the canals is the Trabecular Meshwork. It's job is to regulate the internal pressure of the eye. Looking at the above photo on the left, the thin web of Stroma looks like it would break or unravel with one eye rub.

It's job is to regulate the internal pressure of the eye. Looking at the above photo on the left, the thin web of Stroma looks like it would break or unravel with one eye rub.
What determines an eyes' color? Another interesting feature of the eye. Many people have their preference, and some even find someone more attractive because of the color of their eyes. Resting unevenly on the lower, or 'basement', membrane of the Iris is a pigment layer consisting of two rows of epithelial cells. Both are dark purple in color. These layers serve as a barrier to prevent light from penetrating through the Iris into the inner chamber of the eyeball. It is the pigment layer and the Iris that work in tandem to determine an eyes color. If you have brown eyes, that means the connective tissues of your eyes' Stroma contain brown pigment. The brown pigment obscures the purple of the pigment layer giving a uniform brown color. Have blue eyes? Your Stroma don't have any pigment. This causes the purple pigment layer to come through a uniform sky blue color. For albinos, well, they don't have pigment of any kind in the Stroma or pigment layer. The resulting transparency makes the blood vessels of the eye visible. This is why albinos have a slight pink color to their eyes.
"Nature and books belong to the eyes that see them."
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
"If only we could pull out our brain and use only our eyes."
~ Pablo Picasso
"The Eyes Are The Windows Of The Soul"
Thinking on the subject of eyes put me in mind of this well known, and oft used, saying. How true it is. I feel that you can see so much of a person within the life and 'light' level in their eyes. They are such a reflection of what is happening on the inside. What are the phrases origins? Who said/penned it first? The form we know today is more of a contemporary wording. There have been (and still are) many variations of it. Some say the first form appeared in the King James Bible (c. 58 to 68 AD), Matthew 6, 22-23:
22: The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.
23: But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. Therefore if the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!
I suppose that could be construed as to having the same meaning as the eyes being the windows of the soul. It has also been attributed to Dante, but I couldn't locate any specifics. The oldest reference I found was a variant spoken by Roman Statesman Cicero (c. 106-43 BC):
"Ut imago est amini voltus sic indices oculi."
Translation: "The face is a picture of the mind as the eyes are its interpreter."
Lots of variations, but nothing concrete on when this particular saying, worded as it is above, began.
"No one can lie, no one can hide anything, when he looks directly into someone's eyes."
~ Paulo Coelho
"If you haven't cried, your eyes can't be beautiful."
~ Sophia Loren
"Beauty Is In The Eye Of The Beholder"
Another well known and frequently used saying that is also so true. Everyone has their own idea of what beauty is to them. One may see something that another may not. Who can be credited with the origins of this phrase? Another attributed to many. The earliest reference I found was that it first appeared in the 3rd century BC in Greek...no actual quote was given. Unlike the eyes being the windows of the soul, a word for word quote dates back to the Renaissance to English Dramatist John Lyly (1554-1606). Another credit around that same time is to a wider known dramatist, William Shakespeare, and the quoted variation is from "Loves Labour's Lost" (1594):
" Beauty is bought by judgement of the eye"
Another variation is credited to Benjamin Franklin from "Poor Richard's Almanac" (1741):
"Beauty like supreme dominion, is but supported by opinion"
Scottish philosopher, David Hume (1711-1776), from "Essays, Moral and Political":
"Beauty in things exists merely in the mind which contemplates them."
Some credit Irish Novelist, Margaret Hungerford, in "Molly Brown" (1878) for the first appearance of the modern (current) wording. Unfortunately, I couldn't find any specifics on the exact quote from the work. Given time I am sure I could find more, but I will just give credit to them all. I appreciate the form it's in today whoever was the catalyst for its creation and popularity.
"Behind every great man is a woman rolling her eyes."
~Jim Carrey
"No ghost was ever seen by two pair of eyes."
~Thomas Carlyle
"The Evil Eye"
From the time I was a child, I have always associated the "Evil Eye" with gypsies. Probably saw it in an old movie, an old gypsy woman placing a curse on someone out of revenge. The recipient of the 'Eye' would have bad luck, or be in a horrible accident. They would spend the majority of the film running around in a panic trying to get rid of it before they die. The lesson taught by those films is to never cross a gypsy. *grin*
Belief in the 'Evil Eye' spans many cultures, primarily in the Middle East. In ages past, it thrived among Mediteranean tribes and cultures. It is said to have started in Classical Greece, and later moved to Ancient Rome.
Most people associate the 'Evil Eye' with mysticism. Is it a real threat? Can someone cast it on a foe for real, or are its effects all in the recipients mind? Is it just a way to mess with someones head, so much so that they create the horrible things that befall them themselves? The mind IS a powerful thing...maybe it is best that they wear a protective talisman...just in case. The class of 'Evil Eye' Talismans are known as "apotropaic". It is a Greek term which means "turns away". These talismans are designed with an image much like a wide staring eye so that the curse can be willed back to the caster. Of the examples below, the middle charm from the Middle East is called a Hamsa Charm. Hmm...in addition to showing it the staring eye, maybe it's saying 'talk to the hand'?
If you are in fear of the 'Evil Eye', then you might want to place a talisman on your children. Many believers think that the most common recipients of the curse are babies and small children, as they are frequently approached and commented on by strangers. What can an individual unlucky enough to have the 'Eye' cast on them expect? The most common causes are believed to be bad luck, illness, and even death. One cultural commonality is said to be the causing of dryness. Dehydration, and the withering away of the afflicted. The cure? Moistness. (Gee, didn't see that coming.)
"Fear has many eyes and can see things underground."
~Miguel de Cervantes
"The eyes like sentinel occupy the highest place in the body."
~Marcus Tullius Cicero
"An Eye For An Eye"
The full quote is "An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth, a life for a life", and who hasn't heard this one? If a person does wrong to someone else, the wrongdoer is punished in a like manner. Dating back to Ancient Babylon, the phrase is said to be part of the "Code of Hammurabi", Hammurabi being the King of Babylon (1792-1750 BC). The laws listed in the Code were written on huge stone tablets that stood over eight feet tall. The Code was specific, the punishments falling under the "eye for an eye" philosophy, and being extremely harsh by the standards of today.
The phrase can be found in several passages of the Hebrew Bible, and is also found in the King James Bible, Matthew 5:38:
The phrase can be found in several passages of the Hebrew Bible, and is also found in the King James Bible, Matthew 5:38:
"Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth"
"Those things that nature denied to human sight, she revealed to the eyes of the soul."
~ Ovid
"The face is the mirror of the mind, and eyes without speaking confess the secrets of the heart."
~ St. Jerome
Eyes are truly miraculous things. So small and intricate in the grand scheme of our anatomy, and they give us so much. We live in this world, and our eyes give us the ability to view it. To experience a sunset, or study a work of art. The eyes might be the window to the soul inwardly, but outwardly they are our window to everything else...

Candidate: Alan Keyes
Party: Republican
Political Background: Former Ambassador to UN, served on National Security Council and State Department under Ronald Reagan, former President of Citizens Against Government Waste (CAGW), previously sought GOP Presidential nomination in 1996 and 2000.
Campaign Website: http://www.alankeyes.com/
GOP Appeal: Well-spoken and articulate, appeals to social conservatives with hard anti-abortion and anti-homosexual stances, has a small-but-rapid base of support, prominent African-American figure in the conservative realm, can claim a certain amount of "Reagan's legacy" that others can't, underrated fiscal conservatism, strong on national defense, pro-2nd Amendment.
Cross-Over Appeal to Dems: Would allocate more money to expand national parks, has developed pro-alternative fuel viewpoints, supports regional aid to Darfur, critical of Patriot Act infringing on individual rights and freedoms.
Cons: Sometimes overly-bombastic which makes him easy target, as socially conservative as they come which alienates moderates, focus on social issues keeps him from emphasizing fiscal issues and stances, habitually runs for office to emphasize issues and not to actually win.
My Personal Thoughts: Alan Keyes is a double-edged sword for me. I think he is an incredibly intelligent man who speaks and writes very clearly and articulately. I think many of his fiscal policies are worth acknowledging. Keyes is strong and steadfast in his beliefs, does not contradict his words with his actions, and has "been around the block" politically. His statements and beliefs about race relations and legislation, government reform, and foreign policy ring loudly with many conservatives. His idea to replace income tax with an internet tax and a national sales tax is thought-provoking.
But damn if this guy isn't as socially conservative an individual as I've ever seen. To go as far as to call gay sex "selfish hedonism" is very "hard-line" social conservatism. While Mr. Keyes has his right to this opinion, he shouldn't be surprised when the voters alienate him on this. Plus, the fact that he, for all intents and purposes, disowned his daughter when she came out of the closet will not play well with most voters...even if it is an example of his lack of personal contradiction.
However, Keyes is really in it to promote his viewpoints to a large audience...however, he is a powerful speaker and can be on-point with many of his ideas. It will never translate to votes, though, and I think we all know that.

text: Rubber MountsRubber mounts are a type of shock absorber used to relieve stress and kinetic energy that is produced by vibrations in devices such as engines, production machinery and more. Vibration is defined as a series of oscillations that move at a cyclic pace at varying frequencies and when applied consistently to motor parts or components can drastically increase the rate of material deterioration.Rubber mounts typically have two parts: an isolator and fasteners. They are classified according to applications and specific characteristics such as marine, cone, shear, center bonded, machine leveling, stationary or hanging, shear and specialty. In general, the fasteners are composed of threaded metal, while the isolator core is composed of natural or synthetic rubber used to absorb vibration. Vibration may come from an external source or from within the equipment. Internal vibration is often caused by an imbalance between equipment components and mounts are used to prevent this imbalance from causing operating problems in the engine. Vibration mounts can be constructed of a variety of materials, rubber being one that is very common due to its ability to absorb kinetic energy and prevent the transfer of vibration or movement. Rubber mounts isolate the equipment to which the mounts are attached, preventing the spread of vibrations throughout the equipment. There are a number of benefits to using rubber mounts in vibration control including the reduced maintenance costs which occur as the mounts provide a protective element to the effects of wear and tear. As they are composed of rubber, which displays many elastic qualities, rubber mounts are an ideal for vibration absorption and can often satisfactorily reduce most of the unwanted energy that results from machinery operation. Rubber mounts are used in engines, pumps, air conditioning units, fans, appliances, audio speakers, and transportation vehicles. They are most often available in stock sizes which are able to be shipped immediately and are more than suitable for many of these standard applications. They can however, be custom fabricated if specific sizes or shapes are required, however the machining costs may be a little more expensive. Another advantage of using rubber mounts is that they are low maintenance components of a system and typically require minimal upkeep or lubrication. However, as with all rubber based products, there will be deterioration over time. This may be impacted by the specifics of the mounting application, and will be expedited by exposure to water, oils or other operating fluids. Therefore, rubber mounts will have to be periodically replaced to ensure the system is running at its optimum level. Rubber Mounts

The target group were: young, sophisticated people who appreciate design and fashion.
This small niche target market allowed me to focus on what they would want to see in a magazine of this nature (contents and design etc)
The final design idea was a periodical highly aesthetic-produced magazine. Designed to be published twice a year at the same time as either the s/s fashion or the a/w fashion. The magazine was to be made with good quality textured paper throughout, and also to include some fabric. To be contained in a white protective case.
I have not included every page i deigned but the photos show a good over view i hope of my work.
(All images found on google-images and used because it worked with the magazine, if this was produced and sold then all images would not be used without owners consent etc)
I hope you like my design :)

Of all the stories I've covered in the last few months, this (excuse shameless self promotion) has got to be the most exciting. It turns out Stanley Miller, the guy who did all the prebiotic soup experiments (come on, you must remember those from biology classes... spark in a flask creating origins of life?), was a compulsive hoarder. He died last year and left a load of boxes in his lab, full of vials... Wait, it gets interesting... I spoke to the scientist who inherited all these boxes just the other day and he told me how he came across some of the original vials full of prebiotic soup - except all crusty and dried out, obviously.
Well, I was pretty thrilled... in a geeky kind of way. I mean, I read about Stanley Miller when I was at school. This man is a bit of a legend in scientific terms. It's exciting, huh?
Anyway, they did actually find some important stuff in these vials, stuff that ol' Stanley failed to notice, it seems, the upshot of it all being... oh, look just read it on Chemistry World. I'm going to get in trouble for retelling it all here... But the main point is: I spoke to the guy that Stanley Miller - the actual famous Stanley Miller from biology text books - mentored. Ha. And I love the fact that he kept all that stuff. Apparently he also kept a vial of cyanide frozen for quarter of a century. And then published a paper on it. Tut, scientists, eh?

In the previous post Mercado de S. Sebastiao a sketch was shown of this beautiful tiered market space. Above is a more accurate survey drawing of a section a 1:20 to show inhabitation of the space and how the relationships between each tier work as well as portraying the atmosphere of the space and how it is a very enclosed space by shuttered concrete and in-situ concrete furniture with a large skylight piercing through above.
In Porto was a fantastic public house of another variety than those you drink in. Here is a sketch of Mercado de S. Sebastiao, which is a fresh produce market in between Sao Bento station and Porto Cathedral. Large shuttered concrete structures cover the market with ornate in-situ counter tops, all individual to the produce on sale. This space demands a beautiful drawing.
This is one of a selection of photographs online on Flickr, which you can look at here, that were taken in Porto, Portugal.
The city is incredibly beautiful and much more accessible with the insertion of a new public railway. It also boasts a large amount of Alvaro Siza buildings including the Serralves Museum, the Faculty of Architecture and Leca Swimming Pools, though try not to grab on to the hand rails. Despite an unbelievable talent in resolving junctions of geometries, for some reason sturdy balustrades escape him. Nobody's perfect.

Electric rates for medium and small business customers at the FirstEnergy utilities in central and western Pennsylvania will increase on December 1 for customers who continue to buy their power supply from the utility, with increases as high as 32% at some utilities.
The FirstEnergy utilities – Met-Ed, Penelec, Penn Power, and West Penn Power – have filed with the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission their default electric service supply rates, known as PTC-Default, for the three-month period beginning December 1. The PTC-Default rates reflect the all-in cost of electricity supply for customers who do not shop, but do not reflect the application of the State Tax Adjustment Surcharge (STAS), which has a minimal impact on rates.
The FirstEnergy commercial electric supply rates apply to customers with demands under 400 kW who do not shop for a competing electric supplier.
West Penn Power commercial customers will see the highest increase. The new West Penn Power commercial electric supply rate will be 7.947¢/kWh effective December 1, a 32% increase versus the current 6.016¢/kWh.
At Met-Ed, the commercial electric supply rate will be 7.767¢/kWh effective December 1, 15% higher than the current 6.715¢/kWh.
At Penelec, the commercial electric supply rate will be 7.576¢/kWh effective December 1, up from the current 7.414¢/kWh.
At Penn Power, the commercial electric supply rate will be 7.433¢/kWh effective December 1, versus the current 7.277¢/kWh.

|It's bigger... than the Genesis cartridge.
Soon after making a killing in the arcades, Mortal Kombat was released on several home systems, including the Sega Genesis and Super Nintendo. Both of these ports underwent drastic changes in the process, including audiovisual alterations and downgrades in order to compensate for both of the home systems' limitations. The result was still Mortal Kombat all right, but the Genesis version lacked the visual punch of its big brother, and the graphically-superior SNES version suffered from watered-down violence and stinted controls.
But for the arcade perfectionist, there was a light at the end of the tunnel: The much anticipated Sega CD version was supposed to remedy all the problems of the previous releases and deliver a true arcade experience.
It didn't.
Those who had waited months for the definitive home version of the bloody brawler were sorely disappointed with the final Sega CD product. Instead of emulating the superior graphics of the quarter-cruncher, or even the problematic but pretty Super Nintendo offering, the programmers had simply added a few more frames of animation to the existing Genesis game. It seems like a cheap move, and it was. But thankfully, the reinserted frames turn the stiff, "cardboard cutout" characters of the Genesis version into much more fluid and realistic fighters. Kicks and punches flow much better, and characters bob up and down instead of performing the same three frames of animation indefinitely. Moreover, Sub-zero looks like he did in the arcade, meaning he no longer has to share his fighting stance with his palette swapped rival, Scorpion, in the name of saving ROM space.
|It's the same washed out, grainy screen as before.
Unfortunately, the fluid animation doesn't save the graphics from looking grainy and washed out, thanks to the Sega CD's limited color choices and the already lacking Genesis game on which MKCD is based. Johnny Cage's portrait on the character select screen, for example, is a blotchy mess. His teeth are nothing more than a white blob, where as in the arcade version, one could practically count his fillings. Most backgrounds look decent, but some are mysteriously empty (such as the Buddha temple stage). Given the abilities of the Sega CD unit, there is no reason why the graphics couldn't have at least come close to those of the arcade original, yet we're left with a half-hearted hack job that rests somewhere between the Genesis and the SNES ports.
Mercifully, the sound fares much better. The music seems to have been sampled directly from the arcade game and it sets the stage for battle nicely. Foreboding, vaguely Asian tunes compliment the game's dark themes and seedy locales. The fighters grunt and yell during battles, but a few of the screams and groans from the arcade game curiously go missing. The sounds of combat are bland and uninspired, but they get the job done: Generic punching noises accompany every successful hit and a forgettable "wooshing" noise plays whenever a character whiffs a roundhouse kick or takes to the air.
|Get over here!
Although there's not much in the way of extra features in the game itself, there is some extra content on the Mortal Kombat CD that can't be found elsewhere. When they first power up the game, players are treated to a grainy video splicing gameplay footage with the old Mortal Kombat TV commercial. (Laughably, the in-game footage is all from the SNES version.) While it's not much on its own, it brings back some fond memories for those of us old enough to remember these infamous ads. Also included are extra songs tacked onto the CD after the normal game music. These tracks are remixes of the now famous Mortal Kombat theme song heard in the intro video, tracks that aren't even on the official Mortal Kombat album! Lastly, the programmers were nice (or lazy) enough to leave the original Genesis cart's "bloodless" fatalities intact in the programming, accessible via a code. While they're all rather shoddy reworkings of existing moves, when you've seen Sub-Zero tear off everyone's head at least 14 million times, it's a fun change of pace.
While the extras on this disc shine, sadly, the actual gameplay doesn't. There are only seven selectable fighters versus the ten or twelve that were common in fighting games of the early 90s, and each character has the same set of basic moves. Ironically, the same uniformity that makes this game so easy to pick up also destroys much of its replay value. What few moves you are in control of are drastically overpowered. Uppercuts send players reeling, foot sweeps can easily be used over and over again to "cheap" your way to victory, and to quote what my friend Ian used to say, "Your jump kick is like a super move." The entire game can be easily conquered with these three attacks alone. There's not much in this game to keep head-to-head fighting freaks battling each other, and even less to keep the solo player interested. Mortal Kombat is fun for a while, but like bouncing on a trampoline, you're eventually going to get a headache from the repetitiveness of it all.
Some players have a problem with the loading times in between battles, but it's actually not too bad. It takes about ten seconds for a fight to load, which is about the norm for CD games of the time. And the load time for the fatalities? Milliseconds. Actually, the time in between a successful fatality input and the actual execution (excuse the pun) serves to increase the player's anticipation. Like one of the Sega CD's other fighting games, Eternal Champions, once you hear that CD drive spinning, you know that digitized death is coming your way!
With Mortal Kombat on Sega CD, gamers received a mediocre port of a lackluster game. This disc delivers a better experience than the Genesis cart, but in the same way that Bush managed to defeat Gore in the 2000 United States presidential election: Barely. Though not without its occasional charms, like uppercutting hapless victims into a spike-filled pit below or catching the opponent off guard with Scorpion's notorious spear move, Mortal Kombat on Sega CD (or in any form, for that matter) will likely leave players unimpressed. However, if one boots up this game with few expectations, they're likely to catch themselves having a bit of fun, especially with a second player to face for Mortal Kombat supremacy. The game provides a decent challenge without being too difficult, and it controls easily enough that one can pick up a game pad and, within a few moments, have a fighting chance.
The era of Mortal Kombat dominating the arcades has come and gone, and without the hype (both negative and positive) we are left with a mildly entertaining martial arts romp that's more fun as a nostalgia piece than an actual game. If you can find a copy somewhere on the cheap, pick it up and give it a whirl, especially if you've played the Genesis cart to death. (Ha! That was a pun!) It won't be the best money you ever spent, but it's likely to inspire your friends to imitate whatever it is that Rayden yells during his "superman" move.
And that, my friends, is priceless.

I'm in training for weekly recaps once the annual American Idol pool commences in a couple of weeks.
I watched most of the Top 12 Women perform tonight. With only a couple of exceptions the judges ddn't say whether they could sing well or not, but instead questioned whether they were unique, authentic, real or original.
Randy questioning someone else if they're original enough is like Charlie Sheen demanding someone else prove they're sober. Randy hasn't had an original thought or statement since the hospital nursery. Seriously, let's just record bites from the last show and plug them into a Chatty Cathy doll. Then everytime a contestant finishes singing, the judge sitting next to the doll pulls a string and Randy's voice will spew out.
I'm not overly impressed with the Top 12 women. There's a female Jason Castro and a Brooke White look and sound alike. Oh, you've forgotten Brooke White? Yeah, so has pretty much everyone else.
I have a soft spot for Katie. She's from the small place in Connecticut where my aunt, uncle and cousins live. I need to check with my cousin and see if any of her kids are in school with this kid.
Lilly Scott reminds me of Ricki Lee Jones mixed with Cyndi Lauper
If I had to pick six of them tonight to make the top 12, I guess I'd have to go with Michelle Delamor, Katie Stevens, Lilly Scott, Siobhan what's her name, and Didi BrookeWhite.
Tomorrow night with the guys will already have one major improvement. The guys won't make cutie-pie, giggly faces when Ryan gives out their phone numbers.

Less than a day later, he gets a call from someone saying he's from "Steve Jobs' office" to see if he can help.
I'm not saying the guy who rang wasn't from "Steve Jobs' office" but I'm just wondering if the guy was smart enough to see that the original email was directed to email@example.com and figured it couldn't hurt to say he was calling from Jobs' office when he rang. Either that, or maybe Steve Jobs now works in the business partner relations office - I'm sure it's a big space, well lit, in the corner of the building, and close to the carpark.
Test it out for yourself: email email@example.com and rant about something Apple-related, and make sure you include your phone number so they can call you back. I'll do the same. I wonder if anyone will get responses? How many people work in Steve Jobs' office, do you suppose?...
btw: sorry Steve, I realise by publishing your personal email address, I have opened you up to a bunch more spam than before. But it was necessary to prove the point and I couldn't be bothered coding it into a form. If the spam really gets to be a problem, lemme know and i'll code it.
Postscript: the guy this blog post refers to contacted me via Meebo to ask me to delete the post because he felt it made him look stupid. Jebus knows, that's the last thing we'd want to do in a blog called Why are we surrounded by idiots? Instead of removing the post I've removed his name. You can still click thru to find out more about him - I wouldn't want you thinking I'm making stuff up.

Sir Ken Robinson is author of Out of Our Minds: Learning to be Creative, and a leading expert on innovation and human resources. In this talk, he makes an entertaining (and profoundly moving) case for creating an education system that nurtures creativity, rather than undermining it.
Click on the picture of him in the sidebar on the right to see the lecture that took place at the 2006 TED (Technology Entertainment Design) conference.
I loved that so much I had to link to it too. I'd like to hear how you discovered your creative side!
Thank you so much for sharing the lecture….I am an art teacher (20 years)…faced with having my job disappear….the school for gifted children where I teach is becoming a science and math oriented institution….You cannot imagine how these words bolster my soul….Thank you.

Simpson's bail to $250,000... (Associated Press) View 4 more images (Newser) – District Judge Jackie Glass today doubled OJ Simpson's bond to $250,000, after the football star was returned to a Las Vegas jail for violating bail by trying to contact a co-defendant. "I don't know, Mr. Simpson, what the heck you were thinking, or maybe that's the problem—you weren't," fumed Glass. Simpson is expected to pay up, his lawyer says, although it's not clear when. Simpson is charged with armed robbery, and his trial is scheduled to begin in April, the Los Angeles Times reports. Simpson reportedly asked his bail bondsman to contact co-defendant Clarence "C.J." Stewart to tell him that he was upset about Stewart's testimony. If "anything happens like this in the future, you'll be back and locked up," the judge warned. View 4 more images

I am currently trying to start a new project. Sewing. To tell you the truth, the only sewing class I had were back when I was in my teens some 20 plus years ago, in school with my Home Economics teacher. I never sew anything after my 18th birthday and to start sewing now is a major feat to ponder AND wonder at.
I am attempting to make three Baju Melayu and three Baju Kurung in the next two weeks. Great. Cutting the pieces to be sewn is trickier. I had to call in the Big Guns to help me with that, my old man. He was a what you would call as a Professional Taylor. So my Dad helped me cut the pieces and I sew the pieces together.
Yes, and I did manage to finish one suit of baju melayu. The smallest one though but I did it anyway. Maybe I will post the pictures in later on. What a sense of accomplishment and a rush of adrenaline at seeing the end result. Not Bad, actually..if you don't get too close and scrutinize my sewing that is.
Okay, I will update again soon.

The 31 day Comment Challenge?
August 10, 2010 Leave a comment
I love this idea that I came across on the Bamboo Project Blog where they set a challenge to encourage comments
- For the most comments on a wide range of blogs
- For the most high quality comments that thoughtfully reflect on the topic–
- For the comments that provoke and promote the most learning—
And a little prize was given out to the winners
Maybe this is something that we can do across the Communities of Practice for all the public blog.
And of course adding "1st", "LOL" or "nice blog" is not going to count.

She appears to be the irrepressibly happy girl. Nina Jacobs has had some rough patches in life, and men have always disappointed her. The day Owen Nichols drops into her world, the last thing she expects to happen is happily ever after.
He gravitates toward the role of knight in shining armor for damsels in distress. Sergeant Owen Nichols has a bad habit of being the rebound guy. When he meets Nina Jacobs, he recognizes the moment where preparation meets opportunity.
Some life lessons have to be earned the hard way. Owen is determined to prove worthy of Nina's trust, and they form an unshakable bond of friendship that she can't believe—and he dares not presume—is more. Can Owen find the courage to leap before she rediscovers her heart with someone else? Or will Nina realize that she already has everything she needs with the man who has become her best friend?
This time, he dove in with her still on his shoulder—instead of dumping her—and she was ready for it. When they surfaced, she was laughing and he was, too. He swooped her into an embrace, leaning his face inches from hers. She tried to pull away and he said, "Don't. Not yet." "Why?" "Because your ex is watching. I'm going to kiss you. Make him jealous." "What if I don't want to kiss you?" "Do you want to make him jealous?" he asked, his lips a hair from hers. "Yes," she breathed. "Then let me kiss you," he whispered. "Wrap your arms around my neck and your legs around my waist." "Why?" "Just do it." He shifted his hands to her butt and pulled her pelvis to his. Heat flooded her body as the hard ridge of him rubbed her aching clit with each passing wave. "Better?" Lust coated his voice. "Uh huh," she muttered as he pressed his lips to hers, warm, despite the cold water, and surprisingly soft. When she swiped her tongue over his lips, tasting the ocean salt, he opened them. His tongue danced with hers as if meant to do so. No war, no fighting, just a sensual give and take. When he pulled away, he'd left her breathless. "Why'd you stop?" I could kiss you for hours. He panted. "Did you want to keep going?" "Yes." God, yes. I might fly apart, but I don't care. "Okay." He kissed her again, his luscious mouth turning her inside out. This time, he let her slide down his body, and a wave nearly toppled them. "Did that work for you?" To her delight, his brawny arms still held her. "Which part? Making Liam jealous or getting excited while kissing you? Owen smiled. "I liked kissing you, too."
Tell us about your newest release.
Just Realized is about timing, patience, trust, friendship, and learning to how to love—and forgive—yourself. When Nina and Owen meet, they've both spent the past year soul-searching after each of them has experienced a bad breakup. But it isn't only those incidents which keep them from diving into a relationship, it's the rest of their past, which they must learn to shake in order to find happiness. They tiptoe along the route of friendship, and find that it takes them somewhere neither expected. The question is, can they make the leap into more, or has their chance passed?
What genre do you enjoy writing the most? Why?
I currently write contemporary fiction, but I enjoy anything with a bit of romance in it—both as a reader and a writer. I look forward to exploring romantic suspense and sci-fi/fantasy in the near future.
What was one of the most surprising things you learned in creating your story?
That I can't predict where a story will go, or how quickly I will be able to get there, no matter what I believe when I start. At best, it's a crap shoot.
What is your greatest fear?
That I will leave my children too soon, and the memories we've created will not be enough to sustain them for a lifetime.
What is your favorite journey? Metaphorically or otherwise?
My husband would find it annoying that I say this, but every time I read a book, I take a new journey with the characters. To me, reading a great story is almost as amazing as taking an epic trip. As for real places, our Hawaiian honeymoon was one of my favorite vacations for many different reasons.
What is your favorite quotation?
Whether you think you can, or you think you can't, you're right. —Henry Ford
What quality do you most admire in a woman/man, lover/spouse or influencer/boss?
As I've grown older, I find that I value compassion above almost anything else.
Besides writing, what other interests do you have?
My interests are many. I read; try my hand at amateur photography (especially landscapes); enjoy art and graphic design; like to sew and do other crafts; can spend hours solving puzzles of various sorts; adore live entertainment (concerts of many types, theater, opera, dance, performance art, you name it); love to move my body—walking, dancing, hiking, and snowshoeing are my four favorites; could live at the beach or on a lake, so that I might fish, swim, and boat in the warm weather months; and I appreciate great food from the perspective of the diner and the cook. If I can do any of those things with family and friends, then that's all the better.
Where do you get your greatest ideas for writing?
Dreams and daydreams fuel my imagination.
Can you tell us what is coming up next for you?My Ward Sisters series has four more books planned. The next story in the series, Think of Me (Ward Sisters, #7), will also serve as a launching point for a romantic suspense spinoff series, Deacon Security. It will follow the guards of the security team introduced in the first Ward Sisters book, Back to December, as the team establishes an East Coast branch. My goal is to publish book 7 later this year. I also intend to launch another spinoff series, Vega Brothers, which tells the story of the members of the Vega family, who were introduced in Right Here Waiting (Ward Sisters, #3). The first story in that series, Steal Your Heart, features Nico Vega. My plans include at least one, possibly three more stories on the docket, but as I said above, predicting the schedule is a lot like the weather—a perfect example of chaos theory.
AUTHOR BIOLucy Gage started her writing career under another name, but the same vivid imagination and love of books still fuels her daily life. When she's not writing, you can find her spending time with her family in her home state of Maine, experiencing a life that helps shape her writing.
She loves to hear from fans, and appreciates that they asked about her writing while she took this last year to focus on other parts of her life. Look for her website in 2016. Ward Sisters Series Book #7, Think of Me, will arrive in 2016. Book 1 in the Vega Brothers Series—a Ward Sisters spinoff—launches later in the year.

The 16th century meeting of the civilizations of Europe and the Americas is one of the most influential periods in the history of the modern world. The processes set in motion by the "Contact" have shaped, and will continue to shape, the lives of countless people. As with so much else in the popular imagination, the myths surrounding the "discovery of the New World" have far more currency than the facts. Which is why KPCC, ever the educators, are screening When Worlds Collide: The Untold Story of the Americas After Columbus, a 90-minute documentary examining the 100 years following the initial encounter between Europeans and native peoples. Special emphasis is given to the birth of mestizo culture, a heritage shared by more than 30 million Latinos in the U.S. alone. The screening is this Saturday in the spiffy new Crawford Family Forum.

I'm honestly not sure what to make of Hank Steinbrenner. Does he take himself seriously? Should we?
So far, he's made some outrageous proclamations this season and has backed down or off completely soon after making them. He makes threats that are simply idle in nature. He talks to seemingly hear himself quoted.
If you didn't remember, Cashman's in the final year of his contract. And now, Hank's talking like he's going to have the National Guard scrambled to handle the Yanks and their malaise.
Steinbrenner might have made a cryptic reference to Cashman's future when he said, "If it's not turned around this year, then it will be turned around next year, by force if we have to."
By FORCE? Please, I hope there is someone --maybe it's his brother Hal-- who has the ability to speak rationally with Hank and get him to focus on the longer term health of this organization rather than the immediate future.
The Yanks might very well miss the post season this year, the first time since the early 90's. And you know what, it's not the end of the world. It might feel that way and it will certainly hurt. But, and I've said this many, many times before: If we honestly believe the long term health and direction of the team is strongly positive, then don't do anything to jeopardize that, and that includes dumping the architect.
Remember, an executive was quoted earlier this year, saying:
"Hey, I applaud Cashman for wanting to do it this way," one executive said. "I think those young guys will make it pay off in the long run, but I think they'll take a step back this year. There's always a price to pay for showing patience."

(Associated Press) View 2 more images (Newser) – British papers have been absorbed with stories of Chinese hackers, but another set of Chinese warriors has invaded London: the millennia-old terracotta statues that guard the tomb of Qin Shihuangdi. The Telegraph is presenting a preview of the British Museum's The First Emperor, an exhibition years in the making that has sold record number of advance tickets. Only 20 of the 1,000 statues from the tomb in Xi'an have traveled to London: "more a terracotta platoon" than an army, the Telegraph's critic suggests. Nevertheless public interest is through the roof, and organizers are expecting audiences to rival the British Museum's famous King Tut show 35 years ago. View 2 more images

The Last Tantrum

This is wonderful. The kind gentleman apparently took him for a little, lost boy who needed to go to lost and found. We know who Mark thought he was.ReplyDelete
that is SO AWESOME.ReplyDelete
I love it! Had to read it to the whole family just now. I wonder if we could pay some wise, older parents to walk around stores, say around Christmas, and try this out??? It might help with all the tantrums. Thanks for linking up with us at NOBH :)ReplyDelete
God sent him--he might even have been an angel.ReplyDelete
That's awesome! I bet you wished he could come around with every child, huh? I know I would have liked to have seen him a time or two. Thankfully we are past that stage! :)ReplyDelete
This is classic! What a great story! I'm so thankful that none of my kids throw tantrums, but if I ever have a problem with it in the future, I'm going to remember this story.ReplyDelete

Fire Extinguishers and Your Preparedness Plan

Asking your boss to allow you to sit a fire extinguisher training course is a great idea not only for you as an individual but also your business will benefit hugely! These points alone should hopefully be sufficient to convince your boss that a fire extinguisher course is a good idea.

I did not know there were different classifications for different fire extinguishers. That is good to know because I am starting my own business, and want to have a fire plan put in place in case of emergencies. Is there a certain brand of fire extinguishers that is recommended over another brand? http://protectalife.com.au/fire-extinguishers.html

Welcome back to the blog!
A jewelry box holds the things that most correctly represent a person and always capture the eye. For me, necklaces are a great way to show my mood and personality. That's why Invaluable.com has asked me to share with you what pieces of jewelry are in my jewelry box! Invaluable is an online marketplace that carries everything from collectibles to vintage jewelry. You can auction for items any day or buy one immediately.
I think my personality could be wrapped up by saying I am very elegant, but I always wear my heart of my sleeve. These dainty pieces with a few of colored jewels show that perfectly. They capture your attention, but don't turn your eye away from the rest of the outfit.
Thank you so much for visiting my blog!
Invaluable is such an interesting place to check out vintage items.

Well, one thing you can say about this place—it certainly doesn't lack customers. We were there on a Wednesday night and the place was nearly full (at least the parts I could see). We were promptly seated and give the menu. One quick look around told us every table in our room was either tourists or businesspeople with maybe one or two exceptions. (You can tell they're tourists when they are wearing shorts and baseball caps. Clearly St. Elmo's isn't turning anyone away.) (But seriously, on a side note it is depressing to me that people would choose to go to a nice restaurant and wear shorts and baseball caps).
Anyway, the menu is very basic and offers only one appetizer—the infamous shrimp cocktail (well, and salads which are at the bottom of the menu). Of course we had to order the shrimp cocktail. Now this may get me into trouble, as I know it is sort of an institution, but the one word which I think best describes the shrimp cocktail is "stupid." Seriously, who is enjoying this thing? I can handle spicy food, but as I have said before, nothing turns me off more than something that is so spicy, you can no longer taste the food. This is such a dish. Basically, they take 4-5 shrimp, put them in a bowl, and pour a ton of their "cocktail" sauce on top so every inch is covered, which is far as I can tell is 12 parts horseradish to 1 part tomato juice (not even the slight sweetness of ketchup in there—and since one of the choices with your steak is tomato juice, and I can't imagine a lot of people are ordering a side of tomato juice with their steak, I am assuming it is an ingredient used elsewhere—just my guess though). This "preparation" is particularly annoying when you look at their website menu and they show a nice shrimp cocktail with the shrimp hanging over the side of the bowl and the cocktail sauce in the middle (as the thing should be served). They basically give you no option of how much of the "sauce" to use because they just dump it on top. Anyway, it is not good in my opinion, and I would never order it again. I guess I should say just for the sake of saying it, the shrimp themselves are good and cooked properly, although it is really hard to tell because all you can really taste is the horseradish. So do yourself a favor, and order a salad.
One thing that is nice is that the entrees all come with a potato side and your choice of navy bean soup or the aforementioned tomato juice. I appreciate that while the food has the heft of a steakhouse price tag, at least you get something more than just the steak for your money. So I ordered a filet (10oz) with the baked potato on the side (you can get fries, baked potato, mashed, or green beans) and had a bit of the soup. The soup was nothing special, wasn't bad, wasn't great—hubby said it tasted like the same kind you could buy in a can. The steak, however, was perfect. I was pleasantly surprised with how good the steak was, and how perfectly cooked it was. When I saw it, with the nice dark grill marks, I have to say, I was worried it would be overcooked, but no, it was delicious. And cooked medium rare all the way through, not the kind you get sometimes that are raw in the center and overcooked on the edges. I really liked this steak. The baked potato was fine, nothing spectacular, but I ordered it "loaded" on the side after being asked by the waiter if I wanted it. This includes butter, sour cream, chives, bacon and cheese. I was slightly annoyed that there was an up charge for this that was not mentioned by the waiter, but the bacon pieces were tasty.
Hubby had the ribeye, his favorite, and agreed with my assessment of the steak. He really liked his also (of course we couldn't agree on whom had the better steak, but we have different taste this way). He wasn't impressed with his fries though (he said they weren't very crispy) and wouldn't order them again.
We also ordered additional sides of creamed spinach (can you tell this is hubby's favorite side?) which wasn't very good at all we thought, and king crab mac and cheese which was pretty good, but honestly, I don't think the crab added much to it (except for raising the price). The mac and cheese would be a nice thing to order on its own, but unfortunately, it isn't offered that way.
We also had a dessert which was described as chocolate cherry bread pudding with vanilla ice cream. It didn't really come across as such, but it was good nonetheless. It was like two dense pieces of cake that were chocolaty in color, but had a flavor, strangely, more like sticky toffee pudding. It was really tasty though, and a nice surprise. I think it was a special though, so may not always be on the menu.
All in all, I actually enjoyed St. Elmo's more than I thought I would. But I would never, ever, order that shrimp cocktail again. I don't care if it is an institution.

Happy monday to you. The sun has started shinning and it's certainly putting people in a better mood.
I wanted to show you another card that I have made for another good friend of mine Angela. It's her birthday next week. This time I have used the stamp set Crazy for Cupcakes. It's a sweet little set that I have used quite abit.
The colour comination is Regal Rose cardstock layered with Choc Chip cardstock. I enjoy colouring the cupcakes, it's like they come to life as you add more colour. The backing layer is from the Sweet Always papers that unfortunatley have already retired. sorry! The ribbon is also stitched Choc Chip ribbon. The sentiment was used from a different called Cheer and Wishes.
I also was happy today as I have bought the Boyzone cd - Brother. I love the track they have released - Gave it all away and I look forward to hearing the rest of the cd.
Well time to go. Have a good week.

I'm only jealous of the Marty Jones and hubby Don Dixon concert. Warren Zanes? Just looked him up. Del Fuegoes were super. Dan Zanes played at my child's day care singing kid's songs. I wanted him to break loose with "The Longest Day'' Good ticket collection.

Hi, I'm Rusty Banks, Content Director of Stubstory.com and I found your post today. I was curious about the possibly of integrating some of your ticket stubs and the stories behind them into what we are doing.
Would you take a look at www.stubstory.com and see if you'd care to share some stories?
When you have a second - can you shoot me an email to talk about whether you have an interest in having your stories appear on Stubstory.
I'm looking forward to hearing back from you.

What This Is All About
I've downloaded plenty of bootlegged concerts from various blogs. As a rule I will only post stuff from my collection and not what is already available out there.
I also post out of print CDs and LPs from my collection.
I will repost from my readers anything someone sends me as long as it is either out of print or something that's not from someone else's blog. If you want to share a link for a cool item on your blog, or someone else's, please feel free to post it in the comments........
Enjoy and please leave a comment and pass this blog along.
Can you believe that so many out there are starving for the old WHFS? Amazing!
If you leave a comment, how about using a nickname instead of Anonymous. At least make up something please. Thanks!
I have reconsidered my position...and will re-upload dead links, so long as you go to that particular post and make the request from the comments page...
