We are a big chili people here at the SquishyHouse. There is nothing better on a cold winter day, then a nice big bowl of chili with a crap ton of cheese on top… and a big piece of warm honey cornbread. For years and years I made my chili sans beer. One day I had an epiphany while watching Chopped on Food network and I decided to add beer to my standard chili recipe and HOLY CRAP was it amazing! Beer gives chili this wonderful depth and richness of flavor, and the turkey doesn't leave you with that layer of grease on top that normally comes with beef (or pink slime depending on what you buy :P). I hate that…yuck.
What you'll need…ground turkey, olive oil, petite diced tomatoes, red onion, green onion, sweet peppers/bell peppers, beer, garlic, chili powder, salt and pepper
In a large pot or dutch oven heat a couple tablespoon of olive oil
Chop 1 large red onion and add it to your pot
Chop up 6 green onions in 1/2 inch sections and add to the onions
Chop up however much garlic you want (we like a lot)
Add in whatever types of peppers you like…between 4-5 large peppers (or the equivalent of smaller ones). We used the little mini sweet orange, red and yellow peppers because they were on sale and a large green bell pepper. You can even use frozen pre-cut bell peppers if you want to make things super easy. Cook your veggies until they are just starting to turn soft and add some salt and pepper to taste.
Once your veggies are starting to soften add in 1 lbs of ground turkey
Cook your mixture until the meat is completely brown and there is no more pink
Add in 2 LARGE cans of petite diced tomatoes
This step you can omit if you like…I dont like thick chili so I add 1 large can of water to the pot to thin it down. Give everything a good stir.
Add 1 can of Dark Red Kidney Beans
1 can Great Northern Beans and mix it up well
Slowly add 1 bottle of beer to your pot. I used Fat Tire because it is one of my favorite beers….use whatever you like. Experiment.
Now your going to add your chili powder. I use nearly an entire bottle when I make chili. It's really a matter of taste and personal preference though. I would start with a couple tablespoons and then taste and add more according to your preference. You can always add more…you cant take it back once its in.
Add some salt and pepper to taste….put a lid on it and let it simmer on low for 2-3 hours
Give it a taste, adjust your seasonings and top with whatever you like. We love TONS AND TONS of extra sharp cheddar. Enjoy!

Traigh sits right at the edge of the beach, in a spectacular spot. It was formerly the Shepherd's Cottage, and has been converted into a gorgeous two-bedroomed cottage.
Its kitchen/sitting room is woodlined, with a beautifully made breakfast bar, a wood-burning stove and leather suite; there are window seats too, perfectly positioned for beach-gazing. To the south, beside the dining area, are patio doors which open onto a safe, enclosed garden. One bedroom is ensuite, there is also a separate toilet, and another shower room.
Traigh is pronounced Try in English, which means beach in Gaelic. The clue is in the name!
We have a no smoking and no pets policy.

After years and years of competitive swimming, and training, and peeing in pools all over the planet, I learned the toxic truth regarding my actions: it can kill.
I've read this before, but I never really paid attention. Now it seems the news is everywhere, or maybe I'm just getting older and more susceptible to worrying.
Apparently, organic material such as hair, skin, dried sweat and urine, reacts with chlorine, creating disinfection byproducts (DBPs) that are 10,000 times more toxic than just chlorine.
Common DBPs formed from this swimming pool cocktail are trihalomethanes and haloacetic acids. Trihalomethanes, Cancer Group B carcinogens, cause cancer in lab rats. They've also been implicated in other disturbing problems; spontaneous abortion, stillbirths, congenital malformations.
The bad news doesn't end there. DBPs weaken your immune system, screw with your nervous system, and deteriorate your cardiovascular system.
I learned this "web-found wisdom" on December 26th, that wonderfully lazy day after Christmas. Traditionally, our family mounts a movie-marathon effort, and this year was no different. (We sat through Avatar, Alvin and The Chipmucks' Squeak-quel, Nine, and Sherlock Holmes.) I love this movie-indulgent day, even look forward to it more than JC's birthday.
I didn't enjoy our theater romp as much this time around. I wondered if I was dying, or on a health-related decline which would leave me shriveled and decaying in my golden years--a period I've always looked forward to, romantically imagining myself pouchy and gray, still wearing my banana-hammock proudly.
Can swimming kill me? Really? I wondered in semi-disbelief. Then David Berkoff floated into my thoughts, an old Olympic teammate (and gold medalist), the first man to wow the world with his incredibly fast underwater dolphin kick. I remember David, a Harvard graduate, saying, "Chlorine causes cancer. You don't think so, but studies will prove it some day."
Sitting in the dark theater, while a newly-envisioned Sherlock Holmes kicked butt, my mind wound through all the years of swimming indoors, in dungeon pools, suffering from coughing fits. If you're from that era of swimming, you know what I mean. We called those chemically burning afflictions "chlorine lung". (Does anyone out there call it by any other name?)
I've had two days now to digest this health-related information, though I was hoping someone might step up and refute it, in the interim. I don't think it's concern for swimmers swimming in well ventilated pools today, but I'd like to hear a strong counter to the information I read on the day after Christmas day.
In the meantime, I'm off to the pool. Christmas training so many Christmases in row is a habit I haven't been able to shake.
If you don't know or remember Olympic gold medalist, David Berkoff, here's some old footage I found of him captured right before the '88 Olympic Trials:

Let's step back a little in time. Remember the dot com boom in the 90's, when the Internet went from being a tool only known to academics to ubiquity. We all began feverishly buying computers, and installing Web browsers to access network based applications. Financially it was a boom and bust period, but the new paradigm that was the Internet was here to stay. The world of GIS was then a world filled with desktop nerds working with ArcInfo, ArcMap and the like. With Esri getting wind of this new shift to networked computing the IMS products were released; we remember fondly MapObjects IMS and ArcIMS. Using the Internet we began to be able to build networked GIS apps which allowed developers to share with everybody interactive maps.
Exciting times indeed. But for those developing Internet GIS apps there were two major frustrations:
1) Geo-data was hard to find; in particular base maps.
2) There were no good API's or tools for developers to use. Many older developers remember well building Internet GIS applications from scratch in Flash; cool output which took an age to build. For those unfamiliar with API's, these are the building blocks for developing applications, they make the process easier. In the same way as constructing a car is the process of combining pre-built components; wheels, engine etc, this is the same process developers walk through to build an application. Imagine how long and painful car making would be if you had to build every component – wheel, engine – from scratch!

Is this car reliable
3 Answers
The cars your are posting are under a grand. Do you really need to ask if they are any good ?
Take it for a long test drive and check absolutely everything out to make sure it works and that the car does not overheat or smoke. Ask yourself if you can afford for it to die next week.
I paid $400 for 1984 Honda CRX 1.3l, that I drove for 7 years, I did however have to put on brake pads all the way around it, Axles, wheel bearings, timing belt, tires, Starter, complete tune up including fuel filter and I also gutted the cat and put on a plastic fender because one had dryrotted. It was a good car and never broke down even when it needed work. I should have never sold it.

Why The 90-Day Rule Makes No Sense
In some relationships you may need to wait a year, two weeks or even 180 days, but not every single one. I had a conversation with a few of my guy friends, and they admitted to not being as detail-oriented as women when it comes to rolling around in the sack.
Honestly, if you think about your daily encounters with men, they really aren't. They don't care how soon or how late they have sex with a girl if they genuinely like her. One of the guys mentioned that putting a time frame on intimacy makes sex a bigger deal than what it is. He feels women should explore finding a connection with their man instead of putting so much thought into the actual coitus.
So what happens on day 91? What if it wasn't what you expected?
Personally, each woman should use discretion with each relationship. I don't feel that a book or plan can be used with any emotion–lust or love.

Gussy up Your Gift Cards!
April 21, 2009 in Uncategorized | Tags: 225 Cards & Gifts, Administrative Professionals Day, Anabelle O'Malley, Brenda Peterson, Cards & Gifts Week, gift cards, Jennifer Schaerer, metal tins, Nichole Heady, Paper Crafts magazine, Papertrey Ink | 292 comments
I admit that I've definitely been a slow adopter of gift cards as a gift. To me, it's always seemed so impersonal and sort of a cop-out to grab one at the cashier station and then just hand it over to the recipient. Convenient? Of course. But personal? Not so much.
If you're with me on that, let me tell you about something extra wonderful in our newest special issue 225 Cards & Gifts: an entire feature on wrapping a gift card in some clever paper crafting love! There are 26 original ideas to make a gift card into something that shows you care, and I know I'll be using every one of these ideas in some way.
I especially love this one by Anabelle O'Malley, because it's a gift for now (mmmm…tasty treats!) and a gift card for later:
These tins are so versatile, too – just look at what Nichole Heady of Papertrey Ink did with a similar tin:
Nichole and her eye for all things gorgeous even took this project to the loveliest of levels by adding a card, a bracelet and a poem:
And guess what? Since it's a special week around here, we've got some of these tins from Papertrey Ink to give away! Leave me a comment by midnight MDT this Thursday, April 23 letting me know what gift card you give most often. Five random (and lucky!) winners will each get a window tin and a large hinged tin to gussy up a few gift cards themselves! And a copy of 225 Cards & Gifts!
And make sure you head over to Moxie Fab World today! Cath is giving away gorgeous flowers, ribbons and trims from nine different manufacturers!
P.S. Speaking of celebrations, tomorrow is Administrative Professionals Day and we'll be honoring our own Editorial Assistant Brenda Peterson with an extra dose of Paper Crafts love. She is the glue that holds things together around here.

A carer and keen photographer Ron Baber could win an award for his picture of an owl as he is a finalist in the BBC Countryfile Magazine Awards 2017- all he needs are votes.
Ron submitted a picture of a Short-eared owl in flight at Heartwood Forest, St Albans, to the magazine last year and it has been chosen as one of five pictures in the Readers Photograph of the Year category.
The picture is called Owl on the Prowl and the magazine said: "Hats off to anyone who manages to photograph a bird in flight, in focus and framed this beautifully. The photographer had a split second to snap this thrilling moment, but Ron has totally nailed that tremendously tough task."
Ron, from Ware, said: "I feel very pleased to have had my photograph recognised by featuring in the magazine and being shortlisted for photo of the year. It's an achievement and I cannot quite believe it. It would be great if I secured enough votes to win."
He explained that he has always liked nature but only got into the photography side about six years ago, inspired by a Post Office colleague who showed him the pictures he had taken in the Lake District.
One way Ron enjoys and shares his passion for photography is at our Carers Camera Club, which meets monthly in Welwyn Garden City.
The Carers Camera Club was set up in 2011 by some unpaid carers who had been on a digital photography course we organised. They wanted to continue meeting up to share photography tips and develop their skills with other unpaid carers who enjoy photography.
Ron, who supports his wife who has anxiety and depression, has been going to the club since late 2015. He said: "The Carers Camera Club is a relaxed group and I enjoy going as it's a great way to meet up and talk to others with an interest in photography and understanding about being a carer."
He continued: "We share photography and imaging tips and critique each other's pictures, in a friendly way."
Recently, Ron suggested the group have a photo challenge on a set theme each month and bring along a picture if they want to for the group to discuss. He said: "It gives us the opportunity and confidence to try something new."
As well as attending the Camera Club, Ron, who has been a carer for five years, attends our Mental Health Carers' Forums. Ron said: "The forums can be a good source of information and opportunity to meet people in charge of services, who can help get the care you and the person you support needs.
Finally, he said: "I appreciate the support a charity such as Carers in Hertfordshire can provide carers like me, so we do not feel alone and have a voice with organisations planning and providing health and care services. "
You can vote for Ron's picture to be named Reader Photo of the Year at www.countryfile.com/article/reader-photo-year
Voting closes on 28th February 2017 and the winners will be announced in March and featured in the May issue of the magazine.
The Carers Camera Club meets the second Wednesday of the month from 10am – 12pm noon. If you are interested in attending the club or would like more information about the support Carers in Hertfordshire provides please call 01992 58 69 69 or email

Q: Ed, we recently moved and our new kitchen has a nice island area with a natural stone countertop, but no sink!
We have a basement under the kitchen, so I guess to save counter space or money the sink was never installed. We really want the sink. Is this a complicated project? Thanks. Your information can help us prepare for this job.
-- Fred, Iowa
A: First, the good news is that you do have access under the island area. If you were on a concrete slab, that could have been a deal-breaker.
Moving forward, it's a good idea to meet with your local building inspector before you start the project. This way, any necessary permits can be taken out.
Installing a new sink in your existing kitchen island can be a little complicated and could involve a few contractors. Basically, it may break down like this:
1. The contractor needs to find or create an open pocket area in the cabinet base large enough for the sink and plumbing to be installed.
2. A countertop stone-cutter can then cut out a sink hole over the pocket area where a "drop-in" style of sink can be installed.
3. The plumber can drill through the cabinet base and floor to run water and drain lines into the pocket area to connect the sink and faucet.
Finally, prepare your patience and budget ahead of time, so that you don't end up "stranded" on your kitchen island because of poor planning.

THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov says he has met for the first time with his Ukrainian counterpart to discuss the Ukraine crisis.
Lavrov spoke Monday after meeting with Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Deshchytsia in the Hague, where both attended an international security summit. The meeting was the first such encounter between the two ministers since last month's ouster of the pro-Russian Ukrainian president and Russia's annexation of Crimea.
Lavrov also said that Moscow is unfazed by the West's intention to snub the Group of Eight summit that Russia was set to host in Sochi.
Lavrov said the G-8 format has been useful to discuss global crises, such as the Iran nuclear standoff or the Syrian civil war, but that Russia "will not be clinging to this format."

A high-level Syrian defector has provided a disturbing new account of Syrian chemical weapons operations — including an allegation that some of these weapons have been moved since Russia proposed an international monitoring scheme to destroy the toxic munitions.
The revelations came in a lengthy telephone interview Sunday with Brig. Gen. Zaher al-Sakat, who was a chemical-weapons specialist for the Syrian army until he defected to the rebels in March. Sakat spoke by Skype from a city in Jordan; he said he believes he is a target for assassination by the regime because of his disclosures.
U.S. officials appear to be skeptical of allegations that chemical weapons have been moved outside Syria, to Iraq or Lebanon, as claimed by Sakat and others. So it's best to treat those reports with caution. But Israeli officials are said to believe that the Syrian regime has been moving weapons in the country to areas of greater regime control, for reasons of security or, perhaps, concealment.
Sakat's most compelling information was his account of being ordered to use the toxic chemical phosgene in the Daraa area of southern Syria, a stronghold of rebel support, last year. The Syrian defector said that at the time he supervised chemical weapons for the Syrian army's Fifth Division, based in Daraa. He had been considered as a chemical weapons supervisor for the Damascus area, but that job was given to another officer.
Sakat was summoned last October by his commander, whom he named as Maj. Gen. Ali Hassan Ammar, and told to use phosgene to attack a region north of Daraa that included the villages of al-Sheikh, Maskin, al-Hrak and Buser al-Harir.
Sakat said that according to standard procedures, any such order for using toxic gas would have originated with top military and intelligence commanders, who make up what he called the "crisis management cell." The chain of command passes through Gen. Jamil Hassan, the chief of air force intelligence, whose bases Sakat said are often used to store the chemical stocks. The chain then passes to a group known as Unit 450, which coordinates logistics for chemical weapons, and to individual geographic commands, such as Unit 416 for Aleppo and Unit 417 for Damascus.
When handling the weapons, Sakat said he was instructed to use a simple word-substitution code, known as the "Khaled 4" template. An order to transport, say, sarin gas to a particular place would be conveyed with a phrase such as "Go bring the milk to Mohammed."
Sakat, a Sunni Muslim, said he didn't want to carry out the order to use phosgene against Sunni rebel civilians. So he said he dug a pit and buried the odorless toxic gas and dispersed a non-toxic substitute that was mostly a bleach-like compound. His commanders thought he had performed the mission as ordered.
After the feigned October attack, Sakat said he was summoned by his commander, Ammar, who proclaimed to a group of senior officers: "This is our hero who launched the chemical attack." Sakat named a half-dozen Syrian officers who were present to hear this accolade.
It's impossible to verify another claim made by Sakat that during the past two weeks the regime has sent chemical weapons east toward Iraq and west toward Lebanon. Sakat said planning for these movements began just before Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov's Sept. 9 proposal for international control of Syrian chemical weapons, when Hafez Makhlouf, the Syrian chief of intelligence, met with representatives of Iranian and Iraqi intelligence in the Yafour district of Damascus.
Soon after the meeting, Sakat said, rebel intelligence sources spotted a convoy of specialized Mercedes and Volvo trucks moving east from Homs toward a village near Syria's border with Iraq. The intelligence was provided by Syrian army defectors and an operative known as "Abu Mohammed the Octopus," who briefly joined us by phone. The interview was arranged through representatives of the Syrian Support Group, a U.S.-based advocacy organization.
Sakat charged that another possible transfer of chemical weapons was made by a convoy of 22 trucks from Mezze military airport, southwest of Damascus, toward Lebanon. Just before reaching the frontier, the trucks veered north to the village of Kfer Yabous and then west along a smuggler's route said to be used by Hezbollah. There's reason to be skeptical that this transfer took place, since it could probably be monitored by Israel and would immediately make Hezbollah a target for attack.
Sakat said chemical weapons had also been transferred recently to four other locations inside the country, but he didn't identify them.
In a separate Skype conversation Sunday, a Syrian source inside the country said that chemical-weapons equipment had been moved recently from the Bahous Center for Scientific Research, in the area known as Berzeh, northeast of Damascus. The source, code-named "Ali," said he didn't know the destination.

It's cold, it can easily be miserable, and it can be wet. But snow ... something about snow stirs deep emotions in many people. For me, it reminds me of playing out when I was a child, and never feeling the cold, and it also makes me think of shared memories created with the one I love...
Wintertimegirls on Tumblr is full of beautiful winter images ... well worth a browse if you love the winter, as well as snow.
beautiful image. Photos of snowflakes are so hard to take, let alone make look this wonderful. It's from a beautiful web site as well.
ideal dress to wear when riding in the snow ... I wish ... from this great fashion blog.
Stunning photograph, from this blog.

If you have issues photographing people in snow scenes in particular ...
And if you fancy something a little more advanced to really improve your snow photos ...
I've had a little snow this week, and can still see if from the window as I write this. Not much, but it's that cold it's not melted. If you have some snow, then do enjoy it, and if you don't, then I hope these photos help instead ...

(Friday, Dec. 10) In "The Tourist," Angelina Jolie is a woman of many faces — many of them familiar. Sashaying through the streets of Paris in a cream-colored dress and opera gloves, she's Audrey Hepburn. Navigating the canals of Venice, she turns into Jacqueline Bisset, circa "The Deep." Gliding through a glittering ballroom, she becomes Sophia Loren. Tough acts to follow, all of them, but Jolie confidently puts across each persona.
"The Tourist," on the other hand, has difficulty evoking the mock-Hitchcockian movies it's trying to copy. Director and co-writer Florian Henckel von Donnersmark ("The Lives of Others") wants very badly to craft a contemporary version of "Charade," "Arabesque," "Gambit," or one of the dozens of other mid-1960s light thrillers that put sleek sophisticates in the jaws of jeopardy. But while Henckel von Donnersmark has created the right atmosphere and given his movie an alluring glossiness, the story is almost entirely devoid of suspense or excitement; there are more twists in Jolie's complicated coiffures than there are in the plot.
It certainly doesn't help matters that Jolie is paired with Johnny Depp, who is alarmingly off his game in these swanky surroundings. Usually a reliably innovative and imaginative performer, Depp is utterly uninspired here as the standard-issue amiable American embroiled in overseas intrigue. Although he's supposed to be lusting after Jolie, he generally regards her as he might a priceless Ming vase in a museum: stunning, sure, but it's not as if he's seriously considering taking it home with him.
If there's nothing particularly exciting going on between the stars, there's also not much of interest in the flat, almost mechanical screenplay, which often seems dangerously close to an ultra-expensive feature-length perfume commercial.
British beauty Elise Clifton-Ward (Jolie) is under surveillance because of her long romantic association with Alexander Pearce, a shadowy figure being sought by both Scotland Yard and an international crime syndicate. Hoping to throw off the dogs, Elise picks up a guy who looks just enough like Pearce to keep them guessing, a math teacher from Madison, Wis., named Frank Tupelo (Depp).
"That's a terrible name," she purrs. "It's the only one I've got," he sheepishly admits. The repartee doesn't get much snappier than that, unfortunately.
Elise and Frank keep their relationship painfully platonic as they share a sumptuous Venetian hotel suite that the manager points out was once a home away from home for Proust and Balzac. But perspiration, not inspiration, is what Frank gets as he is hunted by the gun-toting foot-soldiers of crime boss Reginald Shaw (Steven Berkoff). As for Elise, she's busy playing cat-and-mouse with investigator Acheson (Paul Bettany), who's willing to use her as a dazzling bit of bait to bring in Pearce.
It's all very pretty — and it's pretty mediocre as well.
"I wish we'd met in another life, Frank," Elise sighs as she prepares to abandon him without even seducing him first. But of course, they have in a manner of speaking: There are earlier incarnations of Frank and Elise haunting Turner Classic Movies every night, and most of the movies they are gracing are superior to "The Tourist."

Writing a series of any kind was something I'd never done before. I quickly found out that I needed a way to keep track of all the facts.
I tried memory. My memory failed.
I tried little notes. I lost them.
I tried computer files. It took me too long to find what I needed.
So, with nothing else to do ... I created a fact manual.
I spent hours gleaning the information from my memory, notes, and files. I created new documents and organized facts so I could put it all together in one cohesive notebook. I documented everything that had happened so far in my book and things I new were going to happen later.
Unfortunately, holes were uncovered. Back to research and brainstorming to fill in the places of my society I had neglected.
After weeks of piecing together facts and ideas, I had created my manual. (No I had not anticipated it taking that long, but it was very worth the time.)
Here is the finished manual:
I also added maps for easy reference.
I kept a list of characters and the places they lived because of their significance in the story. Obviously, the sticky notes were added later. If you plan to make one. Keep blank pages or sticky notes to add more facts later. More information will come.
Word makes creating graphs easy, and I could tell it to print the size paper I wanted because I used a smaller binder.
I intentionally left space to write in information I was undecided about. (I am completely aware that I spelled Archetypes wrong on this page ... twice. Please ignore : )
Make sure you write down everything, even the things you think you can remember. Here, I wrote down everything about how the government worked even though it's a fairly simple part of the story.
So, that's how I made my fact manual for writing my trilogy. And by paying close attention, you can also learn more about my story.
Have you ever done something similar to keep track of facts as you write?

Scallions are a bit younger and milder with straight white bases while green onions are left in the ground longer to form miniature bulbs. Although available year-round, green onions and scallions are abundant in the spring and summer-thus their name of spring onions. Usually eaten raw or briefly cooked to retain their delicate texture and flavor, green onions are an ideal addition to spring meals.

Over the years, I have driven and reviewed the BMW X5 several times and always found it to be enjoyable. When my test vehicle was delivered to me, I jumped in it to make a quick trip around the block before doing my research. As soon as I hit the street, I kicked it hard, and said to myself "what the Hell IS this thing?"
BMW calls it an SAV, Sport Activity Vehicle. I call it the baddest SUV I have ever driven. You may recall I had the 510-horse Range Rover just last week, so it was an easy comparison and I will tell you these two SUVs are nothing alike, although both are extremely fast.
This was the X5 M, (M stands for Motorsports) and I would never have imagined what a difference the M-designation made. X5 came out in the United States in 2000 and they made the first M-series in 2010. There were a couple of changes in the X5 M for 2015, including a new 8-speed automatic transmission and about a dozen extra horses.
For the real meat of this beast, let's start under the hood, where you find a 4.4-liter V8 that is putting out an amazing 567-horses with 553-pound feet of torque, thanks to superb use of not one, but two turbochargers. All X5 Ms are all-wheel drive, which can shift 100% of the power to either the front or rear wheels. You will need the all-wheel system to keep the huge tires from busting loose. This BMW hunkers down and just goes when you stomp on it. The guttural sound from the huge engine is amazing as you accelerate from 0-to-60 in 4 seconds flat.
The other amazing thing about the X5 M is the handling. I liken it to a Porsche car, something along the lines of a Carrera. You get zero sway or lean in a tight turn. I took some turns so fast and so hard, I would never believed you could do it with an SUV, and there was not as much as a tire squeal.
With that said, to maximize the amazing handling, you have to learn how to operate the Dynamic Damper Control system. You'd better be in Sport Plus mode to put this 5200 pound SUV through the paces. Other choices, depending on how you want the M to perform, are Sport and Comfort modes, and you affect the suspension and steering to suit. I can only imagine that the longer you drive this SUV, the better you get at learning this system.
The interior of the X5 M is stunning. My tester is Long Beach Blue, which is a bright blue, with a tan interior. The seats are extremely comfortable, with 18-adjustments including power leg extensions. You operate everything from BMW's Connected Drive system that is displayed on a 10" color screen. You get all sorts of real-time info, you operate the climate control and sound systems from there, and the X5 comes standard with navigation system, voice activation, and Bluetooth. You can even surf the Internet. A dial in the center console allows you to choose from multiple systems on the screen. The 3-spoke M steering wheel is exceptional and BMW-made carbon fiber adorns the interior, and it looks terrific.
The X5 is the flagship BMW, and it has a surprising amount of front seat room, back seat room, and cargo area. A panoramic moonroof is standard equipment as is the Alcantara headliner that surrounds it. Everything you would expect is standard on this SUV including a beautiful set of 21" wheels that are unique to the M. This vehicle also has one of the best front and rear camera setups I have seen, and it has an overhead view that is nothing short of amazing.
My review vehicle has two option packages, the Driver Assistance Package which gets you blind spot warning and Active Driving Assistance. ADA warns you if you stray out of your lane, and will detect pedestrians at lower speeds and will even stop itself. This will set you back $1900.
For $4500, you get the Executive package which adds a heated steering wheel, soft closing doors, rear window shades, front air conditioned seats, heated rear seat, and a heads-up display that projects your speed onto the windshield.
Of course, a vehicle that tops out at 159-miles per hour needs special braking ability, and you can't help but notice the massive front brake rotors. Looking at the exterior, you'll see too, that it has a two-piece power tailgate, and in the front you'll see huge air inlets to help the big V8 get more wind.
So far so good, right? Two things bother me about this vehicle, and they are serious enough that I would have to think hard before purchasing one. First, there is no park button on the transmission and learning how to put it into park is difficult and frustrating. It also seems needless to have to go to so much trouble just to park.
The other is the operation of the Connected Drive system to do basic functions. It is improved from the old BMW i-Drive system, but still cumbersome, and it doesn't need to be in this day and age. The learning curve for the system is extensive. Granted there are a lot of functions, but most vehicle systems are easier to operate.
Those two issues aside, you have to love the horsepower, the exterior and interior appearance, and the way this SUV handles. I have no complaints on the price either; it is in line with SUVs that compete with the X5 M. High-performance SUVs are pretty rare, especially one like this that tops out at 159 miles per hour. As you would expect, the massive engine comes at a price that you'll pay at the pump.
I should note the X5 M will tow 6500 pounds, and it is not available with a third-row seat.
- What I liked most: Handling and horsepower, plus it looks great.
- What I would change: As noted, the lack of park and the controls.
- MSRP: Base price $98,700. As equipped $106,550.
- Fuel Economy: Rated at 14 City/19 highway/16 combined.
- Odometer reading when tested: 1500 miles.
- Weight: 5200 Pounds.
- Length-Width-Height: 192" long/78" wide/67" High.
- Fuel Tank Capacity: 22.4 gallons.
- Towing Capacity: 6500 pounds.
- 2015 BMW X5 M in a few words: The Ultimate Driving SUV for speed demons.
- Warranty: 4-year/50,000 mile bumper-to-bumper, with roadside assistance, and complimentary free scheduled maintenance for 4-years/50,000 miles.
- Car Pro Rating: 4 out of 5 Stars.
- Manufacturer's website: BMW

Should Insurance Companies Be Investing In Fast Food?
A new study in the American Journal of Public Health states that several of the biggest U.S. health insurers are heavily invested in fast food companies, to the tune of $2 billion. This news has caused some to ask whether or not the insurance companies' vested interest in the growth of fast food stands in direct contrast to their interest in having healthy policy holders.
Among the companies named in the study is Prudential Financial Inc., which has a total of $355.5 million invested in a selection of fast food giants that includes McDonald's, Burger King, Jack-in-the-Box and Yum! Brands.
Northwestern Mutual has an even bigger fast food portfolio, with $422.2 million tied up in fast food stock — $318.1 million of that invested in McDonald's.
Says the Harvard doc who authored the study:
There's a ton of irony in it… In order to generate profits, they will invest in any area they need to to make money, even if what they invest in, in this case fast food, is an industry that is known to cause people to get sick and to die early.
What do you think?

At first it seemed like just a variation on the old "if so-and-so wins, I'm moving to Canada" routine that people, especially liberals, like to whip out during presidential election seasons.
By all accounts, a voter in Louisiana (home of Hurricane Katrina and the long, liberal-caused nightmare) asked the White House after the election if his state could secede from the U.S.
The online petition was posted on the White House's We The People website the day after the election. Since then, petitions have been added for the other 49 states, and hundreds of thousands of people have signed.
Trending: REVEALED: Internet Censorship of Conservatives Funded by the Chinese Government
According to the website, any petition that reaches 25,000 signatures will be put in a queue for an official White House response. So far, at this writing, Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Louisiana, Texas and Florida have passed that threshold, with Texas garnering 80,000 signatures by itself. In total, more than 670,000 people have petitioned to secede from the United States.
Naturally, liberals could not let this growing embarrassment to the Man Who Would Be King stand unchallenged, so they have posted two other petitions, one to strip citizenship from anyone who signs a petition to secede, and one calling for deportation of secession supporters.
Even the hard-left state of California has already gathered more than 11,000 signatures at this writing.
It shouldn't be a shock that so many people would be willing to sign such petitions. Amid reports of widespread voter fraud, Obama and the Democrats were able to cram the liberal agenda down America's throat for at least four more years, despite Obama getting 99 and 100 percent of the vote in scores of voting districts, and even one in which he reportedly received votes totaling 108 percent of the registered voters.
I personally suspect that Obama's real support isn't anywhere near half the electorate, much less enough to account for the vote totals he was handed. But since these things usually go uninvestigated by Congress, what choice is left but to try to secede?
It's unlikely ever to be more than a pipe dream, but at the very least, it will cheese off the Left, which is always a hoot. Sign the petition for your state here.

I would dare to say that the lines that I am writing and you are reading here are owed almost completely to one man, small of stature and, as many say, of great heart and courage. That man is Elías Valiña Sampedro, the driving force behind the Camino as we know it today, the visionary who, with hundreds of yellow arrows, was able to lay out a route that was forgotten hundreds of years before and to create the special ambiance that is alive in the Camino de Santiago today.
Elías Valiña Sampedro was born in 1929 in Lier, a small village near Sarria. In 1959, 12 years after he began his ecclesiastical studies in the Seminary of Lugo, he was named parish priest of O Cebreiro, another small town that was even smaller than his birthplace in Lier and was treated poorly by time and forgotten by the people.
Practically from the moment he set foot there, he became interested in el Camino de Santigo, so much so, that he chose it as the topic for his doctoral thesis, "El Camino de Santiago. Estudio histórico-jurídico," a work that, in 1967, won the "Antonio de Nebrija" award from the University of Salamanca. Who would have thought that since 1996, an award bearing his name would be given for the promotion and conservation of the Camino de Santiago?
O Cebreiro prospered after the arrival of the young priest who, after taking charge of the small Church of Santa Maria la Real, worked with all the residents to almost completely reconstruct the temple and practically the entire town. He was able to bring running water and electricity to all the residents. He left his small, beloved parish infrequently, but when he did, it was to continue studying and getting information about the old routes through which el Camino passes.
There was no turning back; the Camino had trapped him and he allowed himself to be taken by it. He was completely convinced that that route towards the apostle's tomb could change Europe and return to being the main focus of the pilgrimages as it has been centuries before. He was hardly wrong, although perhaps, not in his wildest dreams did he imagine that the number pilgrims would almost reach millions.
With or without knowing it, each and every person that has done el Camino de Santiago has borne witness to one of the most important and recognizable legacies that Elías Valiña left behind, and I am sure that he never imagined that the practical, yellow arrows that he started using to mark the route in 1984 would become a symbol of the pilgrimage of St. James that would come to overshadow the shell. They say it was all a coincidence, that he asked for the rest of some paint from some workers who were walking nearby, constructing the new road to village. Coincidence or not, it is not the only story about the arrows, since close to the French border, after being asked be some "Guardias Civiles" why he was painting yellow arrows, the only thing he thought to say was that he was planning a great invasionn.
He knew from the beginning that he could not realize his vision of the Camino alone, so he mobilized and encouraged people from all the communities that the Camino passes through so that each of them would create associations to defend the interests of el Camino. Strangely, the association, A Coruña was the last to be created. In 1985, the "I Encuentro Jacobeo" was held, and he was named commissioner of el Camino de Santiago. The seed was planted and, bit by bit, he began creating a rudimentary but necessary infrastructure that would eventually be able to receive more pilgrims.
Beyond being the pioneer of el Camino of dust and dirt and endowing it, bit by bit, with everything needed for the attention and care of the pilgrims, he also knew that he should make it known on an intellectual level if he wanted people to live this unique experience. To this purpose, he wrote various guides for pilgrims and edited a bulletin from 1985 to 1987. Between publication after publication, in 1986, thanks to "la diputación de Lugo," the first credentials for the identification of pilgrims were issued.
In 1989 at 60 years old, Elías Valiña died. He was buried in la Iglesia de Santa María la Real de O Cebreiro, the same church that he rescued from ruin. There are several monuments that pay homage to his labor and we remember his legacy, but certainly, there is no greater homage to him than the care and passion that so many people have for the Camino.
¡Buen Camino!

American Literature and Social Movements After 1945
In the United States, the seventy-year period since the end of World War II has been marked by a series of social upheavals and cultural transformations. From the counterculture and Civil Rights movements of the 1950s and 1960s to Occupy Wall Street and Black Lives Matter in the 2010s, several generations of social actors and movements have reshaped the country's cultural terrain. This course takes these movements as a starting point for examining major American literary works of the post-1945 period. For each unit, we will read fiction, essays and poetry in relation to a significant social or cultural movement, considering how literature shapes and is shaped by its historical moment. Authors studied will include Jack Kerouac, James Baldwin, Toni Morrison, Adrienne Rich, Tom Wolfe, and Claudia Rankine.

Occupy SF demonstrators met with a representative of Mayor Ed Lee's office Thursday, but what exactly they hoped to gain from it was unclear.
It was no surprise that by the end, little was accomplished.
"We just want to know what they're thinking," said Zack Helwa, a participant in Occupy SF's activities, which have been building steam since starting in The City on Sept. 17.
Because the movement makes decisions by consensus, no one member speaks for the group. But a tweet from its Twitter account said members were at City Hall to determine potential spaces that could be offered for semi-permanent camps.
Police and Department of Public Works officials cleared out materials in the group's camp outside the Federal Reserve Bank on Market Street just after midnight Oct. 6. Demonstrators have since still been sleeping there — minus the tents and cooking equipment, which The City took issue with when the campers didn't obtain required permits.
Christine Falvey, a spokeswoman for the Mayor's Office, said the prospect of stable camp locations "was never on the table."
One meeting attendee asked Paul Henderson, the mayor's deputy chief of staff on public safety, if Lee would draft a resolution supporting Occupy SF's cause. Henderson said while he doesn't speak for the mayor directly, he highly doubted a resolution will be drafted. He said without a clear message from Occupy SF, the mayor wouldn't know what to support.
While the message of the group varies, it centers on combating income disparity and the influence of financial institutions on politics. After the camp was broken up Oct. 6, the mayor issued a statement saying he sympathizes with the movement, but sidewalks should not be blocked.

Garment Sewing???
While I'm going to be a princess from a video game, I'm not exactly sure what my companions are going to be. James keeps declaring he wants to be Mario (which would be super cute with my costume), but then changes his mind to be Darth Vader or a Stormtrooper.
Not exactly sure how that's going to go, but we have several more months to argue about it between now and then!
As for fabric, some of these patterns call for knits, which can be very interesting to work with, especially if you're used to working with only 100% cotton all the time.
Personally I've taken a tip from Lyric Kinard to heart: when working with any weird fabric, spend time torturing it first.
So all these pretty knits are going into the washer in HOT water, where they will be beaten mercilessly, then I'll wash them again in cold water, then I'll wash them all one last time in warm water just to make sure I've done the job properly.
Why all this washing at various temperatures?
Let's be honest: in my house a quilt is treated with the reverence and respect it deserves. Clothing, however, is not.
Anytime I piece a garment, I know it's going to eventually end up thrown in the dirty laundry pile, where it might be sorted into a pile of similar colors...or it might not. It might be washed at a optimal temperature and setting for the material's delicate nature...or it might not.
Really all bets are off once this garment is finished, so it better be able to stand up to anything!
Another reason for systematic fabric torture is to remove any shrink to the fabric, and to also let it know who's boss. I'd rather it reveal its cards as a funky, finicky print with weird shrinking and sewing issues right now, rather than later after I've spent 5 hours piecing it into a pretty dress.
I'd also like to get ALL the excess dye out now because as a pretty red shirt, it may just be tossed in with a load of whites. It sounds bad, but in my house, this happens all the time!
So after thoroughly torturing this fabric, I'm looking forward to creating some pretty new dresses and shirts for the summer.
Let's go quilt!

Gosh, your laundry process sounds familiar!ReplyDelete
I have several copies of the Simplicity 5581.ReplyDelete
It seems every year I go to make a shirt for him, I misplace the pattern, so I just wait for JoAnn's 99cent sale and buy more. ;)
I don't normally torture the fabric, first, but I guess I should. My guy is 6'4", and I always end up adding a couple inches of length to the pattern to make a nice (non-belly baring) shirt for him.
I also use novelty fabric for his shirts. He has: Millenium (2000), lobsters, beer bottles, Hawaiian shirts (he calls it his 'Meta' shirt -- oh to love a geek), hot peppers, hot sauces and sharks. I have fabric set aside w/ Curious George, motorcycles and pin-up girls. :) Guess I need to make this summer's shirt. :D
I have several copies of the Simplicity 5581. It seems that every year when I go to use the pattern, I've misplaced it ... or a part of it.ReplyDelete
My guy is 6'4" and I've found that I need to add a few inches to the length so that it isn't a belly-baring shirt for him.
I don't normally torture my fabric before making the shirt -- I like working with the crisp fabric, and hate to starch. I also use quilting-quality novelty fabric for them.
He has shirts in: Millenium (2000), lobsters, beer bottles, sharks, Hawaiian shirts (he calls it his 'meta-shirt' -- oh to love a geek), hot peppers, and bottles of hot sauce.
I have Curious George, motorcycles, and pin-up girls waiting to be sewn. Guess I should get around to it and make this year's shirt(s).[Thankfully they are quick and easy -- I think 3 hours from first cut to last stitch.]
Hi Leah,ReplyDelete
I'm totally with you on this. I have had a itch for a while to sew some garments but have some deadlines for couple of quilts which I need to finish.
I have been wanting to make some sundresses for my 5yr old daughter. I even have her favorite character Dora fabric.
Hmmm........I hope I can get to it before the summer is over.
Is it Princess Peach?ReplyDelete
Hi. I am somewhat of an accomplished quilter, and comfortable with certain home dec sewing, (like making really col dog beds and dog raincoats) But I have no positive experience with garment construction, especially knits. Does anyone have advice on a source for good lessons on this, (online, TV, or DVD)?ReplyDelete
I understand wanting to show the fabric who is boss but take it from a garment sewer all you need to do is give it one good full cycle wash and then a nice hot dryer to find out what the fabric really wants to do. Knits are so forgiving. The only real issue is how much stretch and patterns will guide you to make the best choice. If it is a stable knit you can use a non knit pattern - all others follow the stretch guide. Good Luck.ReplyDelete
I can't wait to see you may inspire me to pullout my clothing patterns and make something new. You are a great inspiration to me regarding quilting and being a mother as well as your unique creativity. Have a beautiful day.ReplyDelete
I too have a Lucy that I have not used for quite awhile. I was curious how your Lucy was coming along. I think I will try and adjust my Lucy following your example. Do you have any further suggestions? I have been sewing for my granddaughters, but sewing for myself is more of a fitting challenge. I will have to look into a fitting class.ReplyDelete
Enjoy your site very much. Keep it coming.

Hi everyone! My name's Seth Kendall, and I'm the Cinematics Lead for WildStar. In the past, I walked you through the process of animating Metal Maw, but today we're going to talk briefly about the process for creating an in-game cinematic in WildStar. And what better cinematic to show than the final in-game introduction of everyone's favorite fan-created boss creature, Metal Maw?
Now for those of you who've been paying attention, you might remember us showing a "birth sequence," or spawning animation for Metal Maw a few months back. We even showed it through an animated camera such that it looked like... well, an intro cinematic. And you would be right. However, you'd be forgetting one of the cardinal rules of game design... things change.
In this case, we now wanted Metal Maw to be held in a giant cage. He would force his way out by slamming into the bars until he finally burst through. Another requirement was that this event would not just be seen by a single player in "cinematic mode," it would be a public event that is going on in the actual game world, visible to all players in the zone. Additionally, if you are one of the people pulled into cinematic mode, you need to be able to hit ESC at any time, yet still see the events continue to play out in the world around you. Lastly, as soon as the cinematic was done, Metal Maw had to seamlessly move into combat. All of these factors make for a very difficult bit of technical shamanism in order to make this happen in an MMO world. Without going into anything too technical, we needed a point in the cinematic where Metal Maw's model could be swapped to his combat version without it looking jarring. Because we can't do seamless swaps on animated objects in our game, we decided to have "cinematic Metal Maw" fly into the air to attempt an escape, fade out because of the draw distance, have his machinery blow out midair, swap his model, and have him fall back to the ground as "combat Metal Maw", ready to fight immediately after getting up.
We already had an animation of him falling down from the sky, so we decided to use that for the end of the cinematic (with a newly animated roar), and just animate something new for the beginning. Here is the early progress capture out of our 3D software, with key poses crudely blocked in and camera animation roughed.
This is where the bulk of the work usually lies for cinematics. Working on a cinematic like this ends up being a little tricky, because an animation is created in a single scene file, but when this is transferred to the game, it then has to be split into separate files which get triggered by the game engine at the appropriate times.
Cinematics at Carbine are hooked into the game engine by a cinematics designer, who uses a combination of our world editor, our development script, and a series of other in-house tools. Depending on the needs of the cinematic, this can be either an easy task or a complex and frustrating process of troubleshooting and thinking on the fly. Because the Metal Maw cinematic was the first we had done that was also a public event, the hookup process took a bit of work. We learned valuable information, however, that can now be applied to other similar cinematic scenarios.
This is where all the cool stuff like the smoke from his jets, electricity on the cage and his body, explosion in the sky, and the impact dust and particulates from his landing are created. We have an FX team at Carbine that specializes in this type of 3D particle work and they did an amazing job getting Metal Maw to the level of epicness we needed.
This is where the entire scene finally comes to life. Most in-game cinematics get custom cinematic music from our composer, and a custom sound effects pass from our sound designer. Then this gets hooked up in-game by our cinematics designer to finish it off.
Here is the final, in-game version. Hope you enjoy!
Here's what we have planned for the final two months on Planet Nexus.
Kill more and get more in this limited-time challenge.
It's show time! Sara Conavius is in town to help renovate your homes for the best program on holovision.

Versatility of Cheesecloth - The Many Uses of Cheesecloth
Cheesecloth Uses - A Very Long List
Cheesecloth is a tremendously versatile cloth with numerous uses. We have been selling cheesecloth for many years and are always hearing of new uses for the fabric from our wide array of customers. Cheesecloth is a gauzy fabric made from 100% cotton, that is light, durable and versatile. It comes in a variety of grades, with each grade ideal for different applications. Some uses can use a wider range of cheesecloth grades, though certain uses have a recommended grade (we will detail below). You can see close-ups of our cheesecloth grades on this site as well.
Use #1 - Cheesecloth for Making Cheese
This is the original use of cheesecloth, dating back many, many years. Due to its gauzy nature, the cheese cloth acts as a natural strainer, keeping the solid clump of cheese while the rest drains out. Depending on the type of cheese you are making, you will need a different grade of cheesecloth. Unfortunately, our expertise on this fabric does not extend to the practice of cheese making, so you will have to research elsewhere the ideal grade for your type cheese. You can see an example to the right, where the clump of cheese is being held by the cotton cheesecloth, while the water drains out. Being 100% cotton, you are using a natural fabric, making it suitable for cooking and food making. Our cheesecloth is Made in the USA, which means you don't need to be worried about questionable foreign manufacturing processes being used on the cheesecloth
Use #2 - Cheesecloth for Cleaning, Wiping & Polishing
We have sold a lot of cheesecloth that is used for cleaning, wiping & polishing. One of the more suprising applications of the cheesecloth was for cleaning helicopter windows. Cheesecloth is non-abrasive and lint-free, ensuring that it does not scratch windows. In a similar vein, it is also used to clean silveware and other delicate valuables. For cleaning, you want to use a higher grade cheesecloth, which is why we reccommend using either the grade #80 or grade #90 cheesecloth for this use. Cheesecloth can be washed and re-used for cleaning, extending its useful life. However, for best results, use brand new cheesecloth only.
Use #3 - Cheesecloth for Wine Filtering
One of the more interesting uses for cheesecloth includes wine filtering. A client of ours uses it to filter wine before testing it. Southern Ontario is a hotbed for wine production, with our cheesecloth being used to test parts of that production. For wine filtering, the recommended cheesecloth grade is either the #40 or the #50 (medium grades).
Use #4 - Cheesecloth for Straining
Similar to the wine filtering application, cheesecloth can also be used to strain any sort of food product. Cut a few yeards of cheesecloth and stretch it over a container of soup in order to separate the broth from the vegetables. This can help aboid the mess of cleaning a strainer after using it to filter out the vegetables from your soup and leaves you with delicious, clear soup. Cheesecloth is also used to make greek yogurt (the yogurt is strained and pressed in order to create the thick texture).
Use #5 - Arts & Crafts (Especially for Halloween)
We usually see a huge uptick in sales come halloween time.
Use #6 - Vacuum Filter
Use #7 - Cooking (Stuffing a Turkey)
