Just across the road from the watervale cemetery, with headstones listing a district who's who, is a block of 20 year old shiraz. These vines are really hitting their straps to produce elegant perfumed fruit from the valley's cool micro climate.
An attractive crimson robe with purple tints leads you into fragrance of sage, oregano, hyssop, chocolate and cranberry.
As the third generation of the Barry winemaking family, we now hold the keys to this boutique winery. Riesling is the Clare Valley's signature variety and this is our ninth vintage from clos Clare's Riesling patch, adjoining the historic 'Florita' vineyard in Watervale.
As third generation of the winemaking Barry family we now hold the keys to this boutique winery. With access to wonderful fruit and the kind advice of the district's great winemakers, it's a chance to show our mettle and skills. A medium to light bodied wine, the 2018 is fresh and youthful in the glass, showing bright red with purple hues.

Love to have Potato anytime of day. So here i came up with a dish where I have prepared one potato sabji & used it in many different way.
So here comes our favourite root POTATO.
Yummy Potato Sabji
You need:
Potatoes 4 Big ones
Onion 4 big ones Finely chopped
Green chillies 8 nos Slit in to half
Coriander 1/2 cup finely chopped
Curry leaves 1 stick
Salt to taste
For tadaka:
Mustard seeds
Channa dal & udad dal 2 tbsp
To do:
Boil the potatoes in cooker, peel & mash them.
Take oil in a kadai, when its warm enough add mustard seeds & channa dal, udad dal fry till it bocomes golden.
Add chopped onion & green chillies, fry till onion becomes transparent.
Add turmeric, salt & curry leaves. Let it cook for a while & add mashed potatoes & coriander leaves.
Mix well & cook for few min on low flame.
Serve hot with Chapatis or use it to make masala Dosas.
And one day I came up with this dish which I call Stuffed Idli .
So heres the dish.
All you need:
Leftover or freshly made onion potao sabji(usually used for Masala Dosa)
Idli batter
Idli stand & steamer
Ghee or Oil for grease
All you have to do:
Make small lime size balls of potato sabji & flatten them.
Grease the Idli stand with Ghee or oil & pour a 3/4 th Tbsp of batter in each idli holes.
Now place flatten potato sabji in the middle & cover them again with the batter.
Steam the idli's in the steamer or cooker as usual you do for idli's.
Once they are steamed just take them out & cut it in half, it gives a nice appeal to serve.
Serve with any chutney, I love to serve with Grapes Chutney.
I find very difficulty in making stuffed parathas, most of the time they break & taste more of a doughy.
So i came up with a solution Chiroti Stuffed Paratha.
You need:
Onion potao Sabji for filling
Chapati or Roti dough for external layer
Oil for roasting
To Do:
Take a large portion of the dough. Roll it into a circular disc with the help of a rolling pin & dry flour. Spread the filling all over the dough. Now roll the dough with filling inside to make a cylendar shape.
Now cut the cylenders on many pices to make individual balls. Flatten these balls & roll them into medium circles.
Now transfer this to a griddle(tava) and cook till brown spots appear on both sides of the parantha.
Apply little oil on each side and cook till golden brown.
Serve hot with achar (pickle) and dahi (yogurt) our your favourite Chutney.
Potato sanwich Bhaji
You need:
Potato sabji
Cheakpeas Flour
Dhaniajeera powder
Red chilli powder
Lemon Juice
Oil for frying
To Do:
Make batter by mixing Cheakpeas flour, daniajeera pwd, Redchilli pwd, salt & lemon juice.
Add little bit of water to make a batter of right consistenct to make Bhajis.
Now toast the bread in toaster & spread the potato sabji & put another bread on top.
Just make a Sandwich.
Cut it in two diagonally making two triangles.
Dip in the batter & deepfry in the oil.
Fry them in oil till they are golden in colour & take out
Place on the Absorbent paper to get ride of excess oil.
Serve hot or cold(Picnics, outings) with Grapes chutney & Tomato Sauce.

Trade Copier
Topic: Trade Copier
It duplicates trades between
two (or more) copies of MetaTrader4 running on the same
computer. You place trades in one copy of MT4, and
these are replicated almost instantly in the other copy of
MT4. The trade copier duplicates bothmanual and automated trading.
You can copy from multiple instances of MT4 into a single receiver, and vice versa .You do not need to run multiple copies of the EA on charts for each symbol
which you trade. You should only run one copy of the sender EA, on any chart.This will duplicate all trades
for all symbols.
The sender EA does not need the ability to place orders. Therefore, it can be running on an account which is logged in using the read-only MT4 "investor" password.

Coconut Ice
Grevillea bipinnatifida x banksii
A spreading shrub with narrow, prickly foliage that provides an excellent refuge for birds. Apricot coloured flowers attract honeyeaters and appear throughout most of the year. Ideal as a specimen or screening plant. Prefers an open sunny position in moist, well-drained soil. Suited to low water use, small, low maintenance gardens. Tolerant of dry periods and light frost once established. Pruning annually will help maintain a dense, bushy habit.

Hydrogenated oils or partially hydrogenated vegetable oils are trans fats and should be avoided. About 40% of the foods on grocery store shelves contain them even if the label says, "O grams of trans fats." Companies get around this by making their snack crackers, i.e. Ritz, Cheese Its, etc. with < .5 gram of trans fat /serving so the label can read 0 grams. TRANS FATS promote inflammation in the body, think hardening of the arteries, and must be eliminated as much as possible.
Say "YES!" to Kashi crackers, Dr. Kracker Krackers, and other crackers from the natural food section which contain no hydorgenated oils.

text: This was completely displeasing, repugnant, disagreeable, obnoxious ! I was coming back to C-N from Bucharest by train and in front of me, on the opposite fauteuil in the train compartment, was a guy, a white collar in all his bureaucratic splendour. From a certain point, I noticed he was continuously smirking, smiling maliciously, incessantly, stupidly, awfully. I wondered if there was written "idiot" over my forehead or if he was having a headache. Nope, he wasn't. It took me some time to realise he was looking at my cock bulge. (I wore jeans, a bloody mistake.) Ok, man, take a look and try to admire the landscape, which is delightful. The hell, no : he just peaked and peaked, and peaked at my cock every time I moved. I was on the verge of kicking his face, that was insolence. He did nothing else for 6 hours, the time it took the train to reach C-N. As if he was hypnotised by a cobra. He knew I saw his peeking but he continued in complete presumptuousness. Now, I considered that quite SORDID, IGNOBLE. He was a true pain in the... cock. Did it happen to you too, to be the victim of such staring ? If so, what did you do ? In a quandary, Ralexx

An Australian artist, Konstantin Dimopoulos is coloring some of Seattle's trees with a water soluble ultramarine blue. It is part of his international art installation The Blue Trees. A week or so ago, I talked about pushing our creativity. If you missed this post, I would at least urge you to go and watch the OKGO video there. I could really see this concept of pushing creativity in Kon's Blue Tree Project. He had an issue that he felt needed to be raised - but how do you do that in an Ultra - creative way?
Well, you paint trees Ultra Marine Blue.
His idea is to bring attention to the deforestation of millions of acres of forests on our planet. About 32 million acres of forests were converted to other uses or lost to natural causes each year between 2000 and 2010. This is a big loss of our green nation.
The color itself is made of azurite which is a vibrant blue rock that is ground and mixed with water. It does not harm the tress and will fade away with the rain. Its an unexpected color to associate with trees, thus bringing our attention to notice them.
The artist believes that deforestation is a topic that is out of sight. Its not one that many people stop to think about. His idea is that with this odd color for trees that people would take pause and learn what the project is and what it represents.
This is an interesting example of pushed creativity. Point taken.
"I don't have the answers but I can raise the issue" Dimopoulos said.
I've been thinking a lot about voice in art. Its more than just a painting or a photo. Its what it has to say. I know I'm trying to find the voice in my art. How do I make what I do speak of something? How do I give a voice to a subject or to something that can not speak? And how do I do this in a two dimensional way? Its an interesting thing to think about. I found the Blue Tree project inspiring in the regard that it gives a voice to something that can not speak on its own.

Metal Seated Valve for Pipeline Slug Catchers
Critical Service
A pipeline company in the North East United states replaced chock and traditional plug valves with the HCV product line providing positive shut-off over an significantly longer life than prior product.
|Valves Supplied
|2" ANSI 1500 Class
|Body Material
|WCC Carbon Steel
|Carbon steel with QPQ
|Metal seated
|Full Port
|Raised Face Flanged
|Service Conditions
|Natural gas with foreign materials
|Pneumatic Spring Close Actuated
|Ambient to 30 degrees
|800 to 2500 psig
|150 cycles per year
2" HCV Valves were installed as test units to replace choke and traditional plug valves that were historically utilized in this difficult application. The first HCV Valve was installed in December 2008 and the second in early 2009. Both valves are operating as primary dump valves for slug catchers located at a major North American Pipeline Company facility in the Northeast United States. Operating pressures range from approximately 2500 psig at the beginning of withdrawal to approximately 800 psig at the end of the season.
These valves cycle about 150 times per year in this severe service handling natural gas including storage field fluids which contain solids, including well formation and salt, as well as hydrocarbons, hydrates, methanol, hydrate inhibitors, defoaming agents, biocides, inhibitors, and (brine) water. Both valves have operated very well and have achieved positive shut-off after each cycle.
Both of the valve cartridges were returned to Chromatic for mutually agreed inspection/evaluation in June 2010. Results were shown that the Hemi and seats held up very well under these extreme conditions. Both cartridges have been reinstalled and and continue to provide reliable, repeatable results.
After two years of service, customer has added Chromatic Industries to their approved manufacturer list and purchased additional valves for similar applications.
Product Used
HCV Valve
The HCV valve (HEMI cartridge valve) is an innovative design that incorporates many positive features from other valve types. These features are combined into a single product platform that is UNIQUE to the Chromatic HCV product line and not found in any other valve on the market. The HCV is highly adaptive to a variety of process applications from...Learn More

A few times in the past I've talked makeup with you all.
It's not a normal topic here at Happy at Home but with all the exciting new products out there right now it's all I can seem to think about.
Just like with my home, my makeup collection begs for a little updating with each change of the season. Spring and summer makeup is always so much fun for me because of all the pretty colors. Eye shadows, bronzers, eye liners, blush . . . it's all exciting!
Here are a few of the items I would really like to get my hands on.
Lets start with a new to me makeup company that I have hear a lot of great things about . . . It Cosmetics. The Naturally Pretty Vol. 1, Matte Luxe eye shadow palette looks amazing. Normally, I'm one that ends towards eye shadow with a little simmer but the colors in this all matte palette are so pretty I am very, very tempted to give it a try.
I have also heard amazing things about It Cosmetics CC Cream. I've heard it has great coverage and is most often used without any other foundation. I think it would be great for summer.
And the last item from It Cosmetics . . . Celebration Foundation Illumination. The last time I was at Ulta I was playing with this foundation and was very impressed. First of all I prefer powder foundations and this one is so creamy feeling and light on the skin and very bendable. It claims to be a full coverage foundation that will also give your skin a glow. This is one product that I think I will be picking up very soon, I'm so curious.
Next up is a blush from NARS called Super Orgasm. It's a peachy, pink color with gold glitter which looks so, so pretty.
And talking of pretty look at this blush from Hourglass. It's called Ambient Lighting and it looks amazing.
Being a huge Urban Decay fan, I'm really excited to try their Naked Flushed palette of bronzer, highlighter, blush combo called Native. It looks prefect for the summer.
Maybelline has some very pretty new blushes also. Their Master Hi-Light Blush in Pink Rose looks truly amazing.
Cover Girl's Lip Perfection Jumbo Gloss Balms look very pretty too. They have a ton of colors and I can't wait to try them. They must be very good since they always seem to be sold out at my local stores. Love the packaging too.
I LOVE lip butters so I am itching to get my hands on the new NYX Butter Lipstick. They have a ton of colors I think it will be very hard to pick between.
And finally, Maybelline has a new line of nude shades of lipsticks in their Color Sensational line. I can't wait to get my hands on two different shades. Both the Nude Lust and Sinamon. Both look like they would work great with my skin tone. I have very high hopes for this collection since finding a good nude color for my lips is very hard to do.
That's it for today's list.
Have you tired any of these products?
Would love to know what you think of them.
Talk to you soon,

Many students would like a 'top 40' musical artist to visit campus, but one group delivered a similar experience without the hassle and cost.
Encore, a registered student organization, performed popular musical hits Friday and Saturday in the Malcolm Field Theatre for its Spring Spectacular program.
Encore combines choreography, instrumental and vocal talent to perform musical hits popular in time periods as far back as the 1970s.
The group was formed with influence of shows such as "American Idol" and "Glee." Students who were involved with performing in high school came together because they wanted to continue their involvements.
"I love that we're people from all over performing songs we all grew up to," said Steven Gould, accounting senior and president of Encore.
The group's introduction performance was a choreographed performance of 1980s "Rhythm Nation," by Janet Jackson, and was similar to her music video.
A group of males rocked out like a classic metal band to Night Ranger's "Don't Tell Me You Love Me," with Gould as lead singer.
Wendy Todd, nursing sophomore, sang a rendition of contemporary song "Taylor the Latte Boy," which is about a barista at Starbucks popularized by actress Kristin Chenoweth.
Some of the males performed a large mashup, singing lines of choruses from songs such as Journey's "Don't Stop Believing," Beyoncé's "If I were a Boy" and Aqua's "Barbie Girl," to the tune of a four-chord melody.
Another mashup followed, comparing Lady Gaga's "Born This Way," to Madonna's "Express Yourself."
Members were dressed in Madonna-like attire, imitating the music video.
"It was the perfect mashup because the songs almost sound the same, and Gaga and Madonna like to go head on," Kamry Crooks, criminal justice sophomore, said.
Other songs included Amy Winehouse's "Valerie," Tracy Chapman's "Fast Car," Def Leppard's "Bringin' On The Heartbreak," Adele's "Someone Like You," Coldplay's "Fix You" and even a strictly dance number, "Irish Dance of Love."
Students featured in a performance attended weekly, one-hour practices for the song they were to perform.
Merry Jo Brandimore, Encore's adviser and Dean of Students, joined the group for a short tap dance number.
Brandimore became adviser to the group after previously being involved in an organization similar to Encore.
"We love having her," Gould said. "She's literally the foundation of our group."
The performance came to a close after a surprise encore performance of a 1990s pop song.
The group performs once each semester.
There are 20 members in Encore. Two members, Gould and Todd, are graduating at the end of the semester.
After graduation, Gould hopes the organization will recruit and expand more.
"We hope for people to hear a song on the radio and that it would make people think 'How would Encore do this?'" Gould said.

Starting this week, the Devils Den will begin tracking all the Pac-12 teams from a new measurement developed by a football stat guru by the name of Bill Connelly over at Football Outsiders. That website is a number nerd's heaven. The new tracking measurement is known as the HAVOC RATE. It measures the number of tackles for loss, sacks, forced fumbles, interceptions and pass breakups a team's defense causes against the number of plays it faces. In effect, it measures the percentage of times a defense is impacting the other team's offense, in other words raising havoc. We all know that is the number one Todd Graham defensive philosophy, so with that in mind, we will now track the Havoc Rate for each Pac-12 teams in our Weekly Stat-Pac: Defense Blog. Today is a first look at the Conference's Havoc Rate all on its own.
Here is the Havoc Rate for the teams this year through Week 6.
Havoc Rate developed by Bill Connelly at Football Outsiders
As a reference, last year, ASU and Stanford led the conference in this measurement impacting over 23 percent of the plays their opponents ran in 2013. Impacting almost one out of every four plays doesn't sound like it's causing much havoc, but when you consider that an offense has many plays for no gain, along with incomplete passes that were not broken up, the havoc amount really is slicing into an offense's number of opportunities, while also putting them at a disadvantage caused by the negative results from the havoc components.
Seven of the teams have improved on their 2013 Havoc performance, while Stanford is roughly the same as last year. Four teams, ASU, Cal, UCLA and USC have seen their Havoc rates drop from 2013. ASU has seen the biggest drop, no surprise here, while Utah has seen the biggest increase, with an impressive 6.6 percent increase over 2013. A ten-sack performance against UCLA sure helps. A big surprise is UCLA's low level of negative impact on its opponents so far this year. What makes it surprising is that the Bruins have been in the National Championship chatter since the beginning of the year, but their havoc numbers appear to be somewhat mild. As a note, the conference as a whole has a Havoc Rate currently of 19.15 percent, which is slightly higher than last year's 18.86 percent.
Since this is the inaugural Havoc Rate for the Devils Den, we will concentrate this time on ASU's performance so far this year compared to 2013. Yes, the rate is lower, but exactly where is the drop off coming from? The quick answer is everywhere. First off, there isn't a big difference between the two years for TFLs, as the Sun Devils registered a TFL once every 9.3 plays in 2013 and now it is once every 10.1 plays. The sacks are down per pass from one every 11.1 pass attempts to one every 16.2 pass attempts. Pass break ups are also down from one every 10.9 passes to one every 16.2 passes. Interceptions are way down in raw numbers and on a per pass basis from one every 21.2 passes to one every 81.0 passes. Now that's a drop. Finally, the forced fumbles are about half of what they were last year on a per play basis from one every 67.3 plays to one every 124.3 plays this year.
From a havoc standpoint, TFLs are the only area currently that the Sun Devils appear to be close to matching last year's squad. As we all know, this year's defensive squad is young, inexperienced and still learning their positions. One would expect the Havoc Rate to increase for the Devils as the year progresses, and the new personnel learn the defensive system better. Now that could be said for all the other eleven teams, but it appears to be more so for ASU possessing a squad with a lot to learn, and a coaching staff known for its ability to teach. We will see how that develops each week as part of the Weekly Stat-Pac: Defense. In the meantime, let us know what you think of the new measurement!

A jungle of lights. That's what Times Square is. On our first day in New York we casually walked through Times Square during daytime and I was amazed of all the skyscrapers and the quantity of advertisements. I would not have believed the difference of the atmosphere by night if I had not seen it with my own eyes. The dark sky contrasted the millions of flashing lights and it seemed as if more people were going out. Ticket sellers and dressed up Disney characters would bother (or amuse, however you take it) you everywhere you went, but it was part of the fun. There would have been something for everyone. Also Toys'R'Us was open until 1 AM or 2 AM, I'm not sure, but until some ungodly hour anyway.
What do you think: would it be good, bad or insignificant if I wrote in two languages? Or should I stick to either of them: Finnish or English?
Have a great day everyone!

A new pair of retro-style jeans, that's what I promised you, isn't it?
Well, I finished sewing them before last weekend and I was quite happy with the result. All I needed to do was pose for pictures...
Which I did, in a bit of a hurry, on Sunday. But sometimes pictures just don't turn out that great. The lighting is rather bad on these (they're just a bit too bright) , my apologies.
I used the pattern I drafted for my favorite calf length jeans. I just made them full length this time. And I adjusted the fit. I ended up taking in the side seams by a whopping 1.5 cm per seam at the hips and waist (so where-ever it is anywhere near close-fitting). 1.5 cm may not sound like much, but a it means loosing that amount on both the front and back pattern piece on both sides. So that's total circumference of loss of 6 cm. If you know that the usual difference in circumference between dress sizes is between 4 and 6 cm, that's a lot. Especially for a custom drafted pattern. Of course, the pattern is a year-and-a-half old and I have been very sporty in that time. Clearly, that made a difference.
I am quite happy with the finished product. I like the fit and the feel of the fabric. I like the retro feel of the design but I'm glad I didn't try to go completely "period". Jeans with wide legs were worn in the 1940's but those would have a much lower crotch. Despite having the waistband at the natural waist, I went for a much more modern kind of fit. I've tried the vintage style and I kind of like it but I think I still prefer a fit like this.
As usual, I used flat-felled seams on the back yoke, center back seam and inner leg seams and stitched those with thick, golden yellow jeans thread.
It's a nice new shape which I am sure will be very welcome in my collection of trousers...

Love them. I'm hoping to make some jeans and trousers soon. Have just drafted a pattern. I still think it needs a few tweaks. I've been looking again at your lingerie corset as I'm thinking of making one to wear under the new Gertie butterick sun dress. Any advice?ReplyDelete
You can raise your leg in those. Fit over authenticity I say! They look very handsome indeed.ReplyDelete
Jeans look great. I, too, am hoping to make a pair of jeans this summer.ReplyDelete
Gorgeous and fun!ReplyDelete

For Hyperlipoproteinemia Type IIa, Elevated LDL "changed from Lipitor to Lipofen. My LDL was controlled, trigs was also good. Best result is my HDL which was always below 40 for years increased to 48. Have some concern about increase in creatine level."

For Hypertriglyceridemia "My trigs were through the roof! 345! Now they are 102. My doctor said getting triglycerides under control was more important than LDL for me, but now LDL is back in range. Lipofen is very good!"

How are you? I'm gradually getting over the horrid cold OH kindly shared with me, it's so lovely to share, isn't it?
We've had 'proper' Spring weather this week, with days of beautiful blue skies and sunshine and days of torrential rain and sometimes both within the space of half an hour. Only the foolish look out at the bright blue sky and go out to buy their lunch-time sandwich without taking a coat or umbrella 😉
I've not really felt up to much this week, so my blog output has been poorer than usual. I do have a few things to share now though, so will try to catch up.
Today I've my card for the Daring Cardmakers and also a gift tag made using the March LO from The Sketch File.
First, today's Daring Cardmakers' challenge:
It's Svenja here and this week the sky's the limit - my theme for you is
* * * * Up in the Air * * * *
I'm asking you to make a sky- or flight-related card.
Feeling "blue" at the idea? Just check out the BLOG to seet the creations the design team have come up with to get you started - and see how colourful they are!
Loads of things ran through my mind for this, kites, balloons, aeroplanes, butterflies, birds and bees to name just a few, but also a few songs with sky or air related lyrics. The one that stuck in my head was an old song from The Hollies, and its those lyrics I decided to feature on my card. What I didn't know till I checked the song on the internet was that it's actually a Lennon/McCartney song.
Next up is a little gift bag made to hold my niece's birthday gift. I made a tag for it using the March LO from The Sketch File.
Rather than make handles for this gift bag I just punched holes and added extra wide satin ribbon to tie in a bow.

That's all for this time, I hope you'll take a minute to visit both the Daring Cardmakers blog and The Sketch File it would be great if you could join in with us all this time

Abuse from the top down
"Every time we don't stand down the primary abusers in our lives, we lose a little ground, we fade into the night, we die a little inside. Rising above it may be a temporary balm, but at some point, we have to come back into our bodies and speak it. As important as it is to reach a stage of genuine forgiveness where possible, it is even more important to assert boundaries with those who have violated ours. It may well be why they came into our lives – to force us to recognize and claim our own value." Jeff Brown in Love it forward
Posted by cynthiamchase on February 4, 2017
Should we take it?
"One thing I have learned with certainty is not to stand in connection with those who diminish me. This is particularly difficult when family is involved, because we have a vested interest in perpetuating the family system for all kinds of reasons.
I don't believe one should endure abuse no matter how attached they are to an idea of family. There are many families waiting for us just outside our habitual awareness. We are not responsible for those who diminish us. We really have to get that. We can be compassionate and we can certainly understand where their abusiveness comes from, but understanding the origins does not mean we have to endure it. It's not our cross to bear."
Written by Jeff Brown in his book, Love it Forward. It speaks to me. How about you?

The Armored Man
"The armored man is afraid of his heart, he is afraid of the empowered feminine, he is afraid of surrendering his egoic shield to something deeper, truer, more heartfelt. What he doesn't realize is that we are inextricably linked, so linked that when he denigrates the feminine, he imprisons and denigrates his own consciousness. There can be no victories at the expense of the Divine Mother. None at all. It is time for a new paradigm, one that honors the wisdom of the feminine, one that soulebrates her courageous willingness to remain receptive, relational and compassionate in the heart of this still mad world. Armored men – bow before her. Sing her praises, dance in her wisdom and her love. She is the path home." Written by Jeff Brown in Love it Forward in 1962 – more relevant now than ever!

Does Being Spiritual Make You a Doormat?
BY: Natasha Dern
How does one walk the path of love, tolerance, compassion, forgiveness, etc. without becoming a doormat? This is a fundamental question, and one that's rarely addressed, if ever. When sweeping generalizations are made about love and compassion without sufficient directives they leave many vulnerable and at the mercy of others who take liberties without reciprocating. Sometimes others might mistake kindness for willingness — even an acceptance — to mistreat and disrespect or lie, cheat and swindle.
It is a very New Age tendency to forfeit common sense in favor of passivity. For many, the path is often misunderstood as a practice of passivity. It is not — its being fully engaged in one's life, the world and relationships. If people are constantly expecting you to give in, let go, forgive bad behavior, and accuse you of not being spiritual when healthy boundaries are established, then they are treating you like a doormat.
Practicing love, tolerance, compassion, forgiveness and so on does not mean that we leave ourselves wide open for other people's abuse. For starters, we should strive to extend the same goodwill and compassion to ourselves that we to extend to others. The Buddha said, "You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection." So putting ourselves in a position of being violated by another is not demonstration of love and affection in action, but of powerlessness.
Remember the rule: we teach others in how to treat us. When we have allowed someone to be less than respectful or to mistreat us for a long period of time, it becomes a habit. Then, they resist when we decide to set a boundary that forbids their behavior.
Boundaries are such an essential part of life. A boundary is a container that is necessary for spiritual unfolding, a vessel in which Divine purpose can be revealed. And if you don't have boundaries, your spirituality is going to pose real problems for yourself and for others. The purpose of setting boundaries is to take care of yourself, to protect yourself.
Those invested in mistreating you may not want to see you grow and expand. They see your progression as a threat and begin to shame you for your decisions and choices. When you become more conscious and begin setting boundaries, the majority will not like the new terms. But if the relationship dynamic is about you always giving, and never receiving in return, it's time for a change.
As we progress on the path, the need to act when faced with the questionable intentions of others will arise, but now our action comes from a different motivation. It's no longer "retaliation" in the usual sense, which comes from aggression and fear, but rather from a place of truth. We are strong enough to tell others that their behavior is inappropriate, not appreciated, nor tolerated. This may cause them some confusion, but do not despair and hold on to your boundaries no matter how others react. If the wise way fails, wish them well. Let go. Move on.
Other times, it may require retreating from the situation and giving it space, sitting down and having a frank conversation, protesting, calling the police and pressing charges, walking away entirely, and never looking back. Boundaries should be clear, specific, reasonable, and enforceable.
No, being on the spiritual path and leading your life with love and kindness is not an invitation or permission for others to take advantage or loot the kingdom. Unless of course, you allow it.
Your purpose is to love and appreciate yourself fully, including setting healthy boundaries for mutually appreciative and respectful relationships. Meet each situation that arises with fresh awareness and an open heart, and respond in whatever way is most beneficial and effective. Turning yourself into a doormat for the sake of your spirituality rarely leads to empowerment.
"An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind." Gandhi

I was just thinking about a problem I had at MPI WEC 2010 that I'm pretty sure is shared by others: A netbook with limited battery power. Like two hours or so, then it might as well be a doorstop. I know most people have hyper energy-efficient smart phones now that they can use for tweeting and blogging and checking e-mail, but I can't be the only one tethered to a power-sucking netbook or laptop. I was fortunate in that I had access to the press room, which included a power strip I could plug into to recharge. But I joined the others crawling around checking baseboards for free outlets in session rooms after forgetting my power cord in the press room overnight and arriving at the Vancouver Convention Centre juiceless just in time for the 8:30 sessions.
So, for at least the next year or two until we're all blessed with super-cool smart phones with unlimited battery life, what do you think about adding recharging stations to the on-site services sponsorship opportunities you offer, along with the now-fading, once oh-so-essential cyber café? You could call it The Power Bar! The thought tickled my mind when I saw something similar at the Las Vegas airport on my long trek home and rushed over to get my electricity fix, so I thought I'd pass it along in case you weren't already providing such a thing.

Hong Kong. At 3 AM, Japanese reconnaissance party of 300 cross the Lye Mun Channel from Kowloon but they are slaughtered by the Allied defenders as they come ashore on Hong Kong Island. Japanese begin artillery and aerial bombardment of the North shore of Hong Kong lasting 3 days, to soften up the defenses.
Malaya. Japanese attack again at dawn, with tanks, and overrun British and Indian defenses at Gurun. Allied troops retreat to safety across the Muda River, leaving the main road to Penang open to the Japanese. RAF abandon Butterworth airfield in Penang, evacuating the remaining aircraft to Singapore.
At 2.30 AM, Dutch submarine HNMS O16 sinks on a Japanese mine 22 miles Northeast of Tioman Island, Malaya (41 killed, 1 survivor Boatswain Cornelis de Wolf swims ashore 44 miles South on Aur Island after 35 hours in the water).
Japanese submarine I-1 shells Kahului, Maui, Hawaii. 860 miles West of Hawaii, I-22 shells US Navy airfield and seaplane base at US-held Johnston Island, destroying a 1,200-gallon oil tank.
Operation Crusader. Rommel uses his remaining tanks to plug the hole at Point 204, the inland end of the Gazala line (1000 Allied troops killed, only 71 escape with a battery of field artillery). At 3 PM, 4th Armored Brigade arrives at Bir Halegh el Eleba, 15 miles West of Point 204, but they lay up for the night instead of pushing on to encircle Afrika Korps at Gazala.
U-127, trying to enter the Mediterranean, is sunk by depth charges from the Australian destroyer HMAS Nestor 200 miles West of Gibraltar (all 51 hands lost).
North of Moscow, Soviet tanks cut the road West of Klin isolating 1st, 2nd, 6th, 7th Panzer and 14th Motorised Infantry Divisions (3rd Panzer Army). German troops take the only route out, cross-country to the Southwest, to avoid encirclement but leave most of their equipment. Klin is abandoned at 9.30 PM.

Before the famine the life was hard but okay. Since 1541 Ireland was owned by English landlords. The Irish had to pay a lot of cutbacks, that they were allowed to use the fields. The Irish had not much to live. That is because the Irish farmers grew the cheapest, easiest and most substantial crop they could under these circumstances, the potato.
Potato was the staple food for them.
The time became worse because of the population
1660 → ca 500.000 people
1841 → ca 8.100.000 people
In this time there were shortages of work places and also not enough food for everybody.
1845 the potato crop in Ireland was destroyed because of a fungus that had traveled from Mexico to Ireland. The potato was the main food source and as a result of the mass of rottenness, hundreds of thousand people starved to death. About 1.5 million of the survivors emigrated to America, Canada and Australia and Ireland lost one-third of its population.
There were ships which transported the people. These ships were old, had a bad equipment and diseases and plaques were diffused. Some had previously served as slave ships. They only continued in service because of the emergency. There was no sanitation, and passengers had to survive on only the barest rations. A lot of people died during the passage.
"Thousands of the children of the Gael were lost on this island while fleeing from foreign tyrannical laws and an artificial famine in the years 1847–48. God bless them. God save Ireland!"
Those who survives the passage were in the bottom social class. They had to work very hard when they want to survive. The earnings were humble.
1901 was the lowest population with 3.5 million people. More and more people emigrated.
Another outcome was the downfall of the Irish language. Only 4 million peole spoke Gaelic in 1841. That were people from the bottom special class which died because of the famine.
-1851: 25% of the Irish who spoke Gealic
The children should learn English so that they have no problems with the communication. Also old songs, dances and customs were forgotten by the time.
All in all the famine was a sad story of death and emigration. We think that it was very cruel of the English landlords that they took the food even if the people were starving. It's understandable that the Irish had angry feelings for them. The living standards were very bad like in other countries but as a height in Ireland the famine took place.

Twas the 'Net before Christmas
Here's a little spin on the classic story, but just a little bit updated for our time.
On Christmas Eve (around 11:00p), I was feeling a little creative and decided to take the classic "Twas the Night Before Christmas" and update it...just a bit.
I still love the classic, though!
I hope everyone gets what they wish for this Christmas...and that includes world peace.
Twas the 'Net Before Christmas
Twas the 'Net before Christmas
and all through the house
Not a device was active
Not even the PC's mouse
With everyone going to bed
and Internet websites going viral,
We tucked the children in,
awaiting for St. Nicholas's arrival.
While sliding into bed,
and laying my head to rest,
we said our prayers
and realized we were blessed
All of the sudden,
I heard something thump,
I jumped out of bed
and almost fell on my rump.
Did I hear something fall?
Was it for real?
Or did I imagine it
I didn't know what to feel.
I put on my slippers and robe
and quietly went downstairs
passing the garland on the banister
lined with fake apples and pears
As I hit the last step
to determine the cause
I had to rub my eyes,
I knew who it was, I paused.
There by the fireplace
was a man dressed in red
with white trim around his boots
and a festive red hat for his head.
He carried a large sack
with all kinds of toys
as he filled the stockings
for all good girls and boys.
As I stood there amazed,
I noticed something odd,
Santa looked puzzled
and finally gave a nod.
With a turn of his head
and a smile from his beard,
he reached behind his back
and a small device appeared.
As he turned it on,
He spoke into the device,
The sack slowly grew
with toys and board games with dice.
Did he use the 'Net
to fill his sack?
Or ask his elves to find toys
that weren't in his pack?
As he finished, he turned
and what did I see?
Santa had upgraded and used the 'Net,
What else could it be?
His cheeks turned red
as he started to smile,
He laughed while his belly
kept giggling all the while.
"While the 'Net is amazing,
truth be told,
I was asking my elves to send the toys down
it was way too cold."
"So you don't use the 'Net"
I asked being sincere,
as he smiled again
and pulled me near.
"While I always believed
the Internet was great,
Sometimes the old ways
are the best ways to date."
"With the Internet always on,
some people forget,
to disconnect, enjoy Christmas,
gathered with close family and friends you've met."
As he finished his thought
I turned around to see
my family coming down the stairs
wondering what the noise could be.
"It's Santa," I exclaimed,
"he's here. Right over there"
as I pointed to nothing but a filled stocking
"He was here...I swear."
As my family gathered around the room
I slowly approached the window to view
The full moon rising in the distance
with a silhouette of Santa and his crew.
I heard him say
as he rode out of sight,
"Merry Christmas to all,
and to all a good night!"
I want to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas to all of my readers, friends, and family. I love and cherish you all.

I'm sure it's happened to all of us. There you are, standing at a bus stop, and the bus is late. Late enough that you're starting to wonder if you've missed it, and whether or not you have time to pop into the shop down the road or light a cigarette. You decide not to chance it, and continue to wait. Time passes. Soon you've been standing there long enough to have smoked an entire pack and go to the shop for another. Finally, you decide that the bus isn't coming. Your focus wavers, and just as you give up on the bus arriving any time soon and move off- wham! There's the driver, glaring at you impatiently through the open doors. You're caught off guard. You rush back from the direction of the shop. You trip, drop your change. In your flustered state you inhale your cigarette. You can't breathe. Darkness claims you.
The weight of anecdotal evidence on this phenomenon is staggering. Perhaps not the death-by-asphyxiation part, but certainly the bit with buses turning up just as the potential passenger fully gives up hope. So much so that we can safely assert a causation between low commitment to waiting, and the sudden arrival of the bus in question. It is as though any given bus, en route to a passenger with a defeatist mindset, was compelled by some causal law to adjust its velocity in accordance with their hope of seeing it. This being the case, it leads us to accept that we have encountered a vital link between Sod's Law and hard, quantifiable Physics. The intriguing part of this concentration-based system of public transit appearance is the potential to harness its regularity in non-transport areas. Were people at every stop on a bus route to give up on waiting at the same moment, the bus would have to appear at each stop almost simultaneously- in other words, the bus would have to travel at the speed of light in order to disappoint everyone in its catchment area. Achieving light-speed travel so simply is certainly a thrilling prospect, but we should bear in mind the limitations of the method. We could not use light-speed buses for instantaneous transfer of goods or mail, for example. By definition, somebody expecting the bus to arrive somewhere with their package would cause it to drop from light speed, to the velocity of the cyclist trundling ahead of it. This is why, regrettably, the only foreseeable applications of the light-speed bus are military.
In order to elaborate on the concept of the unexpected bus as a weapon, it is necessary to emphasise the interplay between hard science and somebody muttering how bloody typical it all is. A bus so accelerated is drawn by Sod's Law, not the physical mathematics which make it useful. Therefore, the eager physicist would do well to remember that their work is merely a utilization of something which is outside of their field. With this in mind, imagine the system of simultaneous bus-forsaking described above, which accelerates the vehicle to the maximum possible speed. Now suppose that the bus route ends in a ramp, so angled that the bus will land directly on a hostile country's largest population centre. North Korea would soon stop its nuclear sabre-rattling if a double-decker 38C left Dennistoun and landed in downtown Pyongyang at the speed of light. As a weapon of mass destruction powered by British pettiness at minor inconveniences, it is also unable to be manufactured by foreign powers, making a public transport arms race impossible. With such a force under her command, outweighing even the power of atomic weapons, Britain might once again be in control of global affairs.
The only downside to this invention is that it requires the death of a bus driver each time it is used. But this can be made less distasteful with the right amount of ceremony. Just as Kamikaze pilots drank sake with their commanders before flying to their deaths, the martyred bus drivers of Britain might enjoy a pint with the Secretary of State for Transport before their final journey. Considering the potential power of this weapon, and the level of influence it would allow Britain to achieve, there should be no shortage of patriots willing to sign up. Although it is worth considering the payment of a generous pension to the deceased driver's family in order to assist recruitment. Besides, it would not even be necessary to launch a bus against a foreign power except in severe circumstances. Necessary leverage in international politics could be achieved simply by assembling a squad of willing drivers and keeping them on standby.
All these things having been considered, it seems obvious that Britain is in possession of a unique super-weapon which will allow us to exert control on the world stage in a manner which would previously have been unthinkable. It should therefore be obvious that we have no longer have any need for alliances with other countries, or of anchoring ourselves to agreements where we are required to pull our weight.
With this in mind, vote Leave on June 23rd. Britain can go it alone. We have our light-speed buses of mass destruction.

session began by inviting a group of school students to practice proper car
driving, under the supervision of experienced car driving instructors,
and in a completely safe environment on a track built for
this purpose. The session started by a group of driving instructors lectured
the participating students about the proper driving manner, followed by
behavioral tips on safe driving, and how to read the traffic signs. Afterwards,
they started the practical training, where the instructors accompanied the
students on board the cars, and demonstrated to them the proper driving methods,
and showed them practically how to abide by traffic regulations and rules while
school students for this session aims to embed the concept of safe driving in
children from an early age, and to encourage them to change traditional beliefs
and behaviors about driving, as well as prepares them about the importance of
abiding by traffic rules in order to reach an innovative degree of road safety.
initiative comes within the general framework of Almajdouie Motors social
responsibility through which the company share the community in various
activities and events that contribute to raising awareness among people on many
important issues that concern the society. As well as the company's keen
efforts to offer durable and reliable cars which are accounted for safety of
passengers and road users alike, and contribute to reducing the road risks.

This is another super easy cookie that is oh so pretty on the cookie platter. It's sure to be a family favorite! I know my nieces and nephews really like them. What's great about this recipe is that it uses simple ingredients that are probably already in your pantry or cupboards. I didn't do a very good job shaping wreaths or Christmas trees. I just used a cookie scoop and blobbed the marshmallow cereal mixture onto wax paper and then decorated with the cinnamon candies. They still turned out really cute. They fly off the cookie platter regardless what 'shape' they are! They are also one of Santa's favorites too.
Merry Christmas!
Happy baking,

I'm honored(happy) that Shilei invited us to attend her 21st at Antoinette, located at Penhas Road. It's a French cafe lies around the heart of Lavender. From the outside itself, it looks like some high class cafe, and of course when you walked in you won't help but to get awed by it, and not to mention, even their toilet is so vintage! It's my first time attending 21st dinner party so I'm so excited about it! Had Macaron as door gift, gotten myself the pink one which i guess it was strawberry, however it tasted weird, maybe it's just me. Cherie ordered Concorde Crepe while I ordered Morel Mushroom Pasta and we shared a bowl Mushroom Soup.
P.S to Shilei: it's been 8 years since I know you and it's really great to have friend like you, I still remembered we used to hang around at Mac and not forgetting the Heart-To-Heart sessions we always do with Pearlyn and Isabelle outside Westmall's Aussino. I ♥ you always and hope the best for you! KBOX SOON?! XOXO ♥
Located at * Penhas Road * Mandarin Gallery * Scarlet Hotel * Palais Renaissance *
Bring your loves one there! It's an awesome place for dating :3

You have such great taste!
Thanks for the little peek! Love holiday decor :).
I love how you did the wreath in front of the mirror.
Oh I love all of your vintage decorations.. especially those pink mercury glass trees and your glitter houses. I've always had a crush on those, ever since I was little. I almost bought a few from an antique store last year but they were super expensive, now I can make my own thanks to your how-to post on making them and where to get all the supplies! Can't wait!!!
Your decorations are so pretty. I love those little houses! :)

HAVERGAL BRIAN: Symphonies 6, 28, 29, and 31—New Russia State Sym. Orch. /Alexander Walker — Naxos 8.573408, 69:51 ****:
By the time most composers have reached the age of 72, they are either dead or their creative output has become nothing more than a trickle of inventiveness. Not so with the British composer Havergal Brian (1876-1972). In the last twenty years of his life (he died at age 92), Brian composed 26 symphonies.
He was raised in a working class family and his early musical experience was in the church as a choir member and organist. Largely a self-taught composer, by the early 20th century his works were admired by Elgar and performed by Beecham and Wood. That momentum was lost, and by the end of the Great War, he was poor and desperate to support a large family. A career as a critic and writer sustained him while he composed late at night. But, by the 1950s, BBC producer Robert Simpson, (later destined to become one of Britain's foremost symphonists) became an advocate and some performances and broadcasts of his music ensued. His most famous work is the Symphony No. 1 "Gothic," maybe the largest symphony ever written—requiring over a thousand musicians, and lasting over two hours.
Brian's music has been influenced by Bruckner, Wagner, Elgar, R. Strauss and Mahler and is largely tonal. The Symphony No. 6 'Sinfonia Tragica' (1948) was transformed from a prelude to an opera (never finished) into a one- movement work. There's a delicacy and mystery to the beginning few minutes that demonstrates Brian's mastery of the orchestra: trumpet fanfares, dabs of color from the harp and tam-tam. A quiet orchestral interlude leads to a gentle lyrical theme. Dramatic use of percussion instruments result in a fierce climax. Despite rapidly changing moods, there's a forward momentum and mastery of orchestral texture that's representative of Brian's best work.
The opening of the Symphony No. 28 (Sinfonia in C minor) of 1967 is about as lighthearted as Brian can get, with bubbling woodwinds and a pensive ending. The second movement continues the placid mood and the third movement contains a beautiful string melody. A brash finale darkens the atmosphere, and there is drama and wild use of percussion.
The 91-year-old Brian completed the first movement of his next symphony (No. 29) only a month and a half after the 28th. It's the longest (23 minutes) and the only one in traditional four movements on this disc. A festive opening is distinguished by cheerful trumpet voluntaries, a lovely lyrical central section and dramatically engaging polyphony. A quietly expressive second movement and a frolicsome scherzo follow. The final movement mirrors the convivial mood of the symphony's beginning, but with deeper brass and percussion. But Brian never stays with one mood for long, and the symphony ends in serene doubt.
Brian's short 31st Symphony is built on a descending four-note theme—a polyphonic fantasia that lasts only 13 minutes. It's a short primer on Brian's orchestral music that demonstrates incredible variety, sometimes at the expense of musical and emotional continuity.

We're there. Now go home.2.26.2009 by Kevin Creighton
From the moment my brother-in law handed me his just-read issue 1.01 of Wired, I was hooked. I started subscribing with issue 1.02. For years, I sat down and read it when it came, devouring all the myriad stories about culture and technology, enraptured with the potential of a connected, digital world.
And then something happened with that dream of a wired age: It came into being, and it left Wired behind. Sure, Wired kept up for a while. I used Hotwired for web search a while over Yahoo!, and Wired.com was a leader in tying in print and online content (and that's not even mentioning the glory that was Wired's sister site Suck.com).
But as the Web started to grow, no one magazine could keep pace with it. For a time there in the late 90's, cover stories on Wired were all about the booming dotcom economy and the promise it held for the entire world. After the inevitable bust, Wired spent a LOT of time devoting covers to the latest Hollywood hi-tech wonder movie, a niche that Starlog aptly fills and a direction rather divergent from Wired's proto-cyberpunk roots.
Around 2003, I let my subscription lapse. I'd had enough. The future was *now*, not whenever the story was written, edited and sent off for printing. A year or so later, I picked up a free subscription again for a year, but once that was done, I didn't renew. I had had enough. I didn't need a magazine to tell me what was cool about our digital world, I had websites, RSS feeds, aggregators and podcasts to keep me up to date on what's out there in tech.
And I'm not alone: Wired subscription rates have been dropping off quickly as of late. It seems that Wired magazine is a victim of the very future it dreamed off...

Happy Day to Everyone. So here is a room sign I made by request. I used both my Silhouette Cameo and my Cricut E2 machine. I also used the Formal Occasion cartridge for the background. I used the Silhouette Cameo to cut all of the characters and the "Joey's Room". I used the Formal Occasion cartrdige for the city skyline in the background. Want to know how I made it:
Here are the finished pictures of what each character looks like and the finished project. check out soon for the next room sign which will have a harry potter theme.

AST PRO, Celestion Gold
The Ultimate AST 6V6/6L6
• Deeper Cab w/Recessed Chassis for Protection
So what does this all mean?
Well, sound-wise, you're looking at the move to the UK "Heritage" version of the Celestion G12H-30 or the G12H30 Anniversary. The UK version brings a slightly more refined top end then the Mojo with subjectively more extended bottom. The Anniversary version seems not quite as stiff with perhaps a more pronounced top end. It's a matter of preference. The AST PRO sounds a tad "bigger" than the AST. The cab is 3/4 an inch deeper to allow the recessed chassis for additional knob/switch protection. This might add just a bit more heft to the bottom as well. The enlarged port in the PRO panel, now standard on all AST, gives a slightly more open sound. And the new switchable external output makes it easier to drive another cab, bypassing the internal speaker (8ohm output). I still would give the stock AST with BV-25 a thought unless you really want the difference in cabs.
Looking for the famous Alnico sound? Then consider the AST PRO ALNICO which is the creamy breakup ultimate. We had been using the Celestion Blue, but at 15w, the Blue is a more fragile speaker. We have found the Celestion Gold to have most of the low level tonal quality of the fabled Blue, while surpassing it at higher levels where the Blue can sometimes lose some control. If you are looking for the signature Alnico sound that many love, the Gold is a great option within the AST Pro. If looking for the ultimate headroom with something like the 6L6 family, you might prefer the G12H-30s. But if you love that Alnico sound that really cant be duplicated, the Celestion Gold might just be your ultimate tone solution. And truth be told, many have loved other options as well, such as various Tone Tubbys, Scumnico/Scumback, and Webers. We do stock the options and have cabs with each but can often source your speaker of choice.
