The Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area invites the public to an afternoon of photography with acclaimed professional photographers Tom Gamache and Van Webster on November 14 from 1:30-4 pm at the National Park Service Visitor Center in Thousand Oaks, CA. The afternoon will feature three different activities, including a lecture on effective landscape photography techniques, an opportunity to observe a professional photography critique, and the unveiling of the 2009 Spirit of the Mountains photography contest winners.
This year's annual Spirit of the Mountains photo competition attracted over 200 entries in six categories. The amateur photographer participants came from many regions in Southern California, including communities in the Santa Monica Mountains and Los Angeles, as well as places like Covina and Huntington Beach. Winning photographs will be on exhibit in the National Park Service Visitor Center beginning November 14, and will be on display through January of 2010.
Photographer Tom Gamache will critique the entries, and offer valuable constructive advice to both the competitors as well as the visiting public on best landscape photography practices and easy techniques to improve photographs. Additionally, the public will enjoy a one hour lecture on landscape photography, learning about perspective and photograph composition. This is an excellent opportunity for aspiring photographers to learn from professionals who have a great deal of experience in landscape photography.
Tom Gamache has spent a great deal of time in the Santa Monica Mountains, most notably as the photographer in Range on the Edge, a book about the Santa Monica Mountains landscape that has been described as a love letter to the wild heart of Los Angeles. Joining Gamache for the photography afternoon will be photographer Van Webster, founder and president of Webster Communications. Together, they will provide a rich context for landscape photography, and an opportunity for the public to gather skills and inspiration for future photography endeavors.
The event will be held at 401 W. Hillcrest Drive, Thousand Oaks, CA. For more information and directions to the event, please visit: www.nps.gov/samo or call 805-370-2301.
To learn more about Tom Gamache and to find out more about future photography opportunities including his upcoming December digital photography boot camp co-sponsored by the National Park Service and the UCLA Stunt Ranch Reserve, please visit: www.tomgamache.com.

South Florida is like DC in many ways. And I don't mean that literally. Sure, the weather here is warm year round and if you were searching for an adjective to describe it, you would come up with something like "awesome" or "kick ass" or "warm". But there are some key differences.People my age or younger: Most of Florida, especially Miami, is really, really good looking. Someone once
Thoughts from a warmer place.
on |
Palm Beach Florida is like the rest of Florida, except older...a lot older. There's a reason that some people (i.e. me) refer to this place as death's waiting room. As I left this morning for the airport (at 7 am!!!) , I almost slipped and fell on the rainy, icy stairs, so it's nice to be running around now with a t-shirt on. Still, my family is enough to drive anyone nuts, and I have several
No Cake for Hitler

Firstable, I don't know who names their kid "Adolf Hitler". It's hard enough making it through gradeschool without the kids finding some reason to pick on you, so you shouldn't make it easy. If this kid was born with a name like Ralph, I would feel sorry for him, but Adolf Hitler? Really? That's practically child abuse. I hope you can take a punch, kid, because you're in for a rough ride. You

It seems like just last week that I got back from Florida (probably because it was last week). But I have to back again for Christmas with the family. Things I am looking forward to:1) food: The food is way better and there is way more if it than when I cook.2) Neices and Nephews: I only get to florida about twice a year, while my brother and sister are there year round. That means that it's

Because it's Friday and I don't feel like being creative for your amusement, I will use the power of the internet and garner and focus the power of my tens of readers and support a friend with our latest edition of free plug friday (TM).

Back from Key West

I just flew in from Key West and boy are my arms tired. HAHAHA!!! Okay, maybe that's not funny. And you know what else is not funny? Coming home to a house where the temperature is 44 degrees farenheit. Before I left for my trip (future recap post coming) I replaced my old fashioned thermostat with a new fancy schmancy digital programable thermostat. Unfortunately, I have no idea how to
Where's My Bailout?
on |
The "Big 3" US auto makers (who are the business equivalent of your neighbor's heroin junkie brother in law) got turned down when they flew to Washington in their private jets and asked for $25 Billion so they can keep making cars that nobody wants. So they did the logical thing, they went home and came back asking for $34 Billion. Wow. Just. Wow.I think I'm going to walk into my bosses' office
Ahhh the Holidays

I'm looking forward to a little mini vacation in Key West with the girlfriend, but soon after I'll have to return to Florida and spend some time with the family for Christmas. Since I've discovered internet shopping, it's now a lot easier just to order stuff online, have it shipped directly there and not worrying about last minute Christmas presents or lugging lots of toys in my luggage.

If you've seen a TV advertisement for Wen hair care products, there's a good chance you were at least a little tempted to give Wen hair by Chaz Dean a try. After all, the products are made from natural ingredients like plant extracts and essential oil, and Wen promises to improve the health of your hair. Several celebrities have also endorsed Wen, and if you've seen your favorite actress in a Wen infomercial you may be even more curious about becoming a Wen customer. Emily McClure from Bustle tried Sephora Fig conditioner from Wen hair for a week, and here's what she discovered.
McClure saw a difference in her hair after using the conditioner just one time. She says her tresses, which are naturally thin, felt thicker and moisturized. She washed her hair with the conditioner consistently for three days. Even on the fourth day, when she didn't have time to wash her hair, McClure says that her coif was still free of frizz, but didn't hold a curl for very long.
Emily's hair was still in great condition by the end of the week, and her friends were sure to tell her so. Overall, McClure says that WEN Hair Fig conditioner is one of the best beauty products for women with thin hair, and for women who wash their hair every day.

I would be annoyed as you are to see something like this happen; fake grass and trees! Do NOT tell me palm trees don't grow there. Your neighbor has created an oasis that is a little bit of heaven. In the city where I live, by the way, plans would be submitted and neighbors notified before any big change like that, and it wouldn't happen or at least without a fight!

This really is such a shame. The walking path looks like a race track now, and not serene at all. If they didn't want to water grass, they surely could've put something that could survive drought conditions ... lots of plants survive with little water, and even a rocky landscape would look nicer than fake grass. I feel badly for you that you've lost this special place. Your neighbour's garden, however, is beautiful, and how lucky that they ARE your neighbours! Hopefully you'll be able to claim a new area for your enjoyable walks Tammy. Wendy x

What a shame when "God's Nature" is so much more lovely than anything man can do. I suppose you are right, it may look nice at night time..but you can hang lights on real trees too.
You pictures of the flowers and butterflies are excellent.

Just another example of the way man thinks he knows best! Talk about upsetting the balance of nature trying to imitate it. Uggh.
Lights in real trees indeed, there is a giant tree in a park in my suburb that has a star on top which is lit for all of December, it looks amazing.

it seems that common sense is a thing of the past. At least you have a lovely garden to enjoy close to home... that is a sight to behold...maybe you should write him/her a note to say thank you!!!!!

Hi Tammy,
I love all the pretty flowers, plants and butterflies from your neighbours gorgeous garden.
Why oh why do they think that fake grass and trees are better than nature - so awful and can see why you would be wanting to walk somewhere else.
happy week
- April 1, 2014 at 2:27 AM
Race track was the first thing I thought of too. It certainly won't be a peaceful place for the eyes anymore. I'm so sorry they did that to your lovely walking place.

I don't like the way it looks either. I much prefer the path that runs directly behind our backyard - I can walk right onto it and walk for 4 miles round trip if I so choose. It used to be an unused railroad track when we first built our home 14 years ago. I kind of liked it all natural like that because it would get overgrown in the summer months and provided a lot of privacy. Now we have people walking and biking past our backyard, but it's a small town so there's not that many people and I'd still much rather have the walk/bike path than neighbors close by, so I'm happy for it. Our town has now added beautiful lighting to the entire path, which mimic antique gas lanterns, so it's all very tastefully done. I'm thankful they didn't decide to paint it rainbow like the one there, but I see that you still have many nice places to walk - your neighbor's yard with gardens is lovely.

Anne Frank was wise beyond her years, wasn't she?
I don't blame you, Tammy, that sounds awful. Why don't you come take a walk with me around the creek. There are a few people who don't take care of their property but mostly it's very peaceful - and real (so far!).

Hi Tammy, I agree with you 110%. Nothing compares to nature and the beauty of nature cannot be replaced. Too bad that they would spend so much time, money and energy to do such a thing.

What a terrible shame! When you commented about this on my blog I had no idea it would look so terrible. What possessed them to colour the pavement like that? I also prefer natural environments to man-made ones and it's so sad that they had to rip out the real stuff. Perhaps someone needs to complain!
- April 1, 2014 at 3:47 PM

Reading through the comments I agree with them 100%. I think it looked much better before. Your neighbor has the right idea. Beautiful!

I'm with you all the way Tammy. Here people are putting down decking, wood chips, paving etc in front and rear gardens. No wonder the bird life is in decline, there are no bushes or flowers.
I get so angry over this, people are just so lazy they can't bothered to keep a garden.
I love the hollyhock and sunflower though.

Dearest Tammy,
Indeed what a HUGE turn off... But those in power decided, without ever thinking!
How will they be able to keep it clean; once those sand storms come?
Your neighbor is doing a great job and instead of such fake plantings they better used desalinated water for creating a real garden.
Love the quote from Dutch Anne Frank and that that said from a 14 year old Jewish girl in a concentration camp gives it even more power...
Hugs to you; cannot enter the internet during the day so early mornings are my chance!

It does boggle the mind to think that would be acceptable, do love the people that had the vision to plant such a wonderful combination of plants to attract the butterflies"

Oh deary me...I would be sad and disgusted too...the whole point of nature is that it be 'natural' ... shame that had to happen ... I hope you can find and enjoy more 'real' surroundings like the neighbor with the glorious garden ... our daffodils are just popping so our parade of flowers is about to begin ... you have so much in bloom already = those hollyhocks make my he♥rt go pitter pat especially reminding me of my childhood ...

Oh dear Tammy
I know how much you love your walks, I always love your posts with images rof what you see along the way.
Town planners are no different here- it seems to be an opportunity for anyone with hare brain ideas to have them brought to fruition!!! Beats me.
What could be more beautiful than enhanced nature....
Maybe a petition from all who use the walkway could gain an about turn - or is that wishful thinking?
Take care Tammy and don't give up hope.

Oh Tammy, that's really a pitty! It reminds me a bit to Las Vegas where we saw fake grass carpets, too (well, LV is also situated in a dessert ... and there are also lots of water wasted ...) Our world is getting more and more a plasctic world ... and it's really a fortune that there are people who provide a beautiful and natural environment, such as your neighbor!
Get my hugs, dear Tammy - and anyhow: Have a happy weekend!

What a real shame to replace the grass with something plastic. I hope that you have somewhere else you can walk and enjoy being in a more natural environment. x

You should probably call this sore eyes because of the sight. This is disappointing, but I can't really imagine what it's like to have to struggle so much to grow fresh things in the climate there. Still the rainbow path is a bit much! I hope you have other nice places to walk!
- April 9, 2014 at 4:10 PM
- Helen Philipps said...
Such a shame what has been done to your walk, Tammy. Fake grass and trees and a stripy pathway are not making the most of the place.....I hope you can find somewhere else to take your nature walks instead. On the other hand, your neighbour's garden is so beautiful, what lovely neighbours to have!
Enjoy your spring break, I hope you have lots of (nice) walks, yummy treats and crafting time!

Praying for you and all of us in this crazy weather pattern, Kristen.

Silver Laundered his Money in Buffalo
Posted on February 19, 2015 at 2:49 pm by Casey Seiler, Capitol bureau chief in Sheldon Silver
The federal indictment of former Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver gives a clearer sense of where his assets were kept, and where the prosecution will be seeking forfeiture in the event that he's convicted.
The document provides account numbers for accounts with HSBC Bank, Synchrony Bank, Bank of New York Mellon, two Fidelity Investment accounts and a Morgan Stanley Smith Barney account.
The indictment also mentions holdings in a handful of those often phantasmal business entities known as limited liability companies, including $368,000 in an HSBC account held in the name of JoRon Management LLC, and $100,000 in a Bank of America account held in the name of Counsel Financial Services LLC (aka Counsel Financial Holdings).
"We do not wish to comment on anything as far as that's concerned at this time," said a woman who picked up the phone at the Counsel Financial Services' Williamsville offices.
Silver's 2013 financial disclosure form on file with the state Joint Commission on Public Ethics shows he and his wife each received between $50,000 and $75,000 from Counsel Financial that year.
JoRon Management's 1999 filing with the Department of State lists Mark Zogaria as a contact for the LLC, and gives 1 News Plaza, Suite 10 in Buffalo as its address. That's the offices of Z80 Incubator Labs, where Zogaria was a team member. He did not immediately respond to a call for comment.
Three Z80 companies recently received START-UP status through an affiliation with SUNY Buffalo.
JoRon does not appear anywhere on Silver's 2013 JCOPE form.
Update: Counsel Financial's board includes Perry Weitz and Arthur Luxenberg of Weitz & Luxenberg, the personal injury law firm from which Silver recently went on leave. Silver's collection of referral fees for roping in mesothelioma patients — allegedly in exchange for official favors — forms half of the federal indictment against him, though the indictment notes that the law firm wasn't aware of Silver's alleged transgressions.
Counsel Financial describes itself as offering "financial solutions exclusively for plaintiffs' counsel":
Founded in 2001 by attorneys, Counsel Financial is a highly specialized commercial lender offering loans and credit lines solely to law firms whose revenues are derived from contingency fee practice.
We offer litigation law firms the ultimate financing alternative to personal lines of credit and recycled after-tax profits. We grant substantial lines of credit to litigators based on the total value of their anticipated contingent fees.
Today, Counsel Financial is the leading law firm financing company in the country and has provided more than $500 million in credit lines to attorneys since inception.

Today, Counsel Financial is the leading law firm financing company in the country and has provided more than $500 million in credit lines to attorneys since inception.
Paul Cody, president of Counsel Financial, was a former CFO of JoRon, which his bio describes as "a closely held private equity fund with investment interests ranging from non-recourse plaintiff funding to commodity-based financial products."
New York State Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli today announced that nearly $400 million is available for investing in New York-based companies through the New York State Common Retirement Fund's In-State Private Equity Program. Since taking office in 2007, DiNapoli has added $624 million, or more than double the amount for investing, to the program for a total commitment of more than $1 billion.
DiNapoli released a report today on the progress of the In-State Program after hosting a roundtable discussion with private equity managers. The report's key points include:
"The In-State Private Equity Program has proven to be a win for the state's economy and for the state pension fund. For every dollar invested in exited companies, we've made $1.60," DiNapoli said. "We've invested in 252 companies in New York and put thousands of New Yorkers to work. We still have nearly $400 million that we want to invest in established, growing or startup companies. Our message to these entrepreneurs is if you're prepared to make a commitment to New York and can demonstrate a compelling case for our investment, we'll make a commitment to you and your business."
Through the In-State Program, the New York State Common Retirement Fund has established long-term partnerships with 18 private equity managers from around the state who invest in companies that require capital for growth, to refinance ownership or for early stage investment. The program is designed to provide investment returns consistent with the risk of private equity by making investments that meet fiduciary standards.
In addition to providing the Fund with a 20 percent internal rate of return on fully exited investments in the last five years, the program has helped generate jobs and private sector investment in New York. Since its inception, the program has helped create or retain nearly 4,000 jobs across New York, leveraging $6.7 billion in capital.
The state legislature created the In-State Private Equity Program in 1999 as part of the Jobs 2000 legislation. The original investment goal was $250 million, which DiNapoli achieved in October 2007. He later added $383 million to the program in November 2007 and another $241 million in later years.
In releasing the report, DiNapoli was joined by a private equity firm and a participating company to highlight the impact of the program.
"Without the support of Comptroller DiNapoli and the Fund, we would not have been able to invest in New York-based companies such as Huffington Post, Buzzfeed and Buddy Media that have created several thousand jobs and delivered returns in the upper quartile for all venture capital investments in the country over the last eight years," said Jordan Levy, CEO of Softbank Capital. "With the new fund, we will generate additional returns for the New York State Common Retirement Fund and help local companies brighten the digital future for all New Yorkers."
The Fund has provided $100 million to Buffalo-based Softbank Capital to invest in New York companies. The first $50 million investment in 2005 generated 43 investments. Another $50 million allocation was made in May 2013.
"Support from the New York State Common Retirement Fund's In-State Private Equity Program has been instrumental to the growth and expansion of Autotask. Since embarking on this partnership, we have quadrupled the number of employment positions in the Capital Region," said Mark Cattini, CEO of Autotask. "We now help 5,000 customers provide technology services more efficiently and profitably to their two million clients around the world. Our success is evidence of what a program like this can mean to high-tech companies in New York State."
The Fund has made two investments totaling $6.3 million in Autotask, located in East Greenbush. The most recent investment was through Hamilton Lane for $3.3 million in 2008.
Throughout the fall, DiNapoli will be holding meetings and participating in events to inform New York entrepreneurs and businesses about the opportunities available through the In-State Program. His first event was in Rochester on Sept. 16 and other events will be held in Buffalo and Syracuse in the coming weeks.

A duo piano collaboration at New Mexico State University is reuniting two lifelong friends. For the first time in 20 years, nationally recognized pianist Laura Spitzer will take the stage with renowned pianist Antoinette Perry in a performance of international works. The recital, which begins at 7:30 p.m. Monday, March 18, in Atkinson Recital Hall, is free and open to the public; however, donations for piano scholarships will be accepted.
"Our recital is filled with song and dance with the accent of many lands," said Laura Spitzer, resident pianist and associate professor of music in the College of Arts and Sciences. "There is German, French, Spanish, Russian and American music. It is a beautiful bouquet of styles."
With two Steinway concert grands positioned end to end, the duo will perform six pieces including Rachmaninov's "Russian Rhapsody," Bach's "Sheep May Safely Graze" and "Lindaraja" by Debussy.
"The second half of the program is all dances," Spitzer said. "Bolcom's 'Recuerdos' is a jazzy interpretation of three traditional Latin-American dances. The fast movements are kooky and witty, and the middle movement is a sensuous tango. The last piece of the program, 'La Valse' by Maurice Ravel, is a waltz that starts quietly and builds to a frenetic close."
Spitzer has toured throughout the U.S., Canada, Mexico, Austria and Germany. The recipient of four touring grants from the Nevada State Council on the Arts and the Nevada Humanities Committee, and a Steinway artist, Spitzer traveled by truck with a Steinway in tow from 1984 to 2003, bringing classical music to rural communities and schools throughout the U.S. and Canada.
She has been featured on ABC and NBC news in the U.S. and Canada, and in such publications as People, Time, Reader's Digest and Clavier magazines. Spitzer joined the NMSU faculty in 2000.
Antoinette Perry, born to professional musicians, gave her first public performance at the age of four. Since then, she has appeared throughout the U.S. and Europe as a soloist and chamber musician, collaborating with many of the world's greatest artists, including John Perry, Leon Fleisher, Ralph Kirshbaum, Ronald Leonard, Froydis ReeWekre and actors Michael York and Walter Matthau.
Having participated in festivals throughout America, Perry has been heard often on NPR's Performance Today, the Bravo! Channel and Continental Airlines' In-Flight Programming.
She has performed in more than 100 festival concerts during her 25-year tenure as artist-faculty at the Aspen Music School. She taught at UCLA for 12 years before joining the piano faculty at the USC Thornton School of Music, where she holds a full-time position. She returned to UCLA as adjunct piano faculty in 2011.
"As I get older, I am more and more intent on pursuing the activities which enrich my life the most," Perry said. "Playing this wonderful music with Laura Spitzer, an enviable musician who happens also to be my close friend, is way up there on my list. I am loving this!"
"Antoinette and I performed as duo pianists many years ago, and I'm very excited to be collaborating with her again," Spitzer said. "She is a fabulous pianist and profound musician with a wide expressive palette, and also one of my dearest friends."

Zend Framework 1.8
When upgrading from a previous release to Zend Framework 1.8 or higher you should note the following migration notes.
Standard Route Changes
As translated segments were introduced into the new standard route, the '@' character is now a special character in the beginning of a route segment. To be able to use it in a static segment, you must escape it by prefixing it with second '@' character. The same rule now applies for the ':' character.
Default caching
As with Zend Framework 1.8 a default caching was added. The reason behind this change was, that most users had performance problems but did not add caching at all. As the I18n core is a bottleneck when no caching is used we decided to add a default caching when no cache has been set to Zend_Locale.
Sometimes it is still wanted to prevent caching at all even if this decreases performance. To do so you can simply disable caching by using the disableCache() method.
Example #1 Disabling default caching

It was exactly a week ago that I visited my best friend Monique, and got to hijack her camera and make her my model.She was most gracious and entertained my follies.
I really love the outcome. This photo shoot inspired me to get my own camera, a better one then I got, which is really not hard, given that what I have is a tiny little point and shoot Fuji Finepix.
I like how soft these pictures turned out. They have been edited a bit, nothing major.
Unfortunately, my muse and model Monique is moving back to France soon.
She will be hard to replace. Her modelling skills are unparalleled.

My Space: Remembering Le Petit Cheri
Was there ever a restaurant or café you loved so much that you nearly cried when it closed down? Mine is Le Petit Cheri, a corner coffee shop once located at Molito Lifestyle Center, Alabang.
Before it closed last year, I would always have coffee there alone before going about my day. What I loved most about this place was the library at the second floor, where I read all the books I wanted while sipping my cup of latte and devouring a croissant or other freshly baked goodies from the bakery below. Every now and then I saw kids having tea parties in the private room next to the library.
When I paid a visit sometime last year and saw that old newspapers covered the windows, I thought that they were just having the place renovated. Months later, a new establishment emerged, confirming that Le Petit Cheri has indeed closed for good.
Cheers to one of my favorite cafés in Alabang, and here's hoping that it will reemerge in the metro one day soon!

True that! But how long did their business last? Mine nman and forever will be cherished is Le coeur de France. Good good childhood memories where my mom used to take me for snacks. There's actually 3. Almon Marina, French Baker and Le coeur de France. Although the 2 business empires are there. Le coeur de France will be dearly missed!
That place was so nice especially the interior! Naalala ko tuloy yung milktea house kung saan nagsimula ung lovestory namin ng hubby ko, sobrang nalungkot talaga ako at nanghinayang nung nagsarado na sila 🙁 Pero nawala man sila, yung memories at pictures na nabuo namin dun, forever namin itetreasure.
Like what they say, all good things come to an end. It's sad to let go of the things we love. But hey, what matters the most are the memories that will forever be with us! That place looks really nice! It's a shame we won't get to visit it anymore.

Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish believes the whole team can share the credit for goalkeeper Jose Reina moving to the top of the pile in terms of Barclays Premier League clean sheets.
The goalless draw at home to Tottenham on Monday may have been disappointing in some respects but it earned the Spain international his 10th shut-out in 24 matches. That put him level with Manchester City's Joe Hart in the race for the golden glove, which Reina won in three consecutive seasons from 2005.
"The clean sheet on Monday was Pepe's 10th of the season, which puts him at the top of the list in the division," Dalglish told LFC Weekly. "But while it is the goalkeeper who gets the recognition, everybody plays a part in achieving those clean sheets."

By becoming a work at home mom online, you can earn income for your family without leaving your computer chair. By building a website in your area of interest, you can reach an audience of millions with your information, product or service.
You do not need technical knowledge or web design experience to build a successful website. The following C-T-P-M process will help you develop a website that earns income for your family:
- Content – Create a website that delivers original, high-quality information in an area of interest. Include specific phrases in your website pages that many people are looking for, but many websites don't provide. These high demand, low supply phrases are known as profitable keywords. They will help others find your website when they search the web for information on your topic.
- Traffic – You can build the best website on the internet, but you won't earn any money unless people are visiting it. Bring visitors, or traffic, to your website by spending time in online forums, writing articles and having your site included in web directories. It takes time to build a strong traffic flow, but if you stay the course your website will one day have many visitors.
- Pre-sell – Go beyond putting advertisements and sales pages on your website, and help your visitors begin to trust you by providing honest, accurate information. Help people see a need for your information, product or service. Write detailed descriptions of the products you represent, their pros and cons, and how they will be useful to your visitors.
- Monetize – Find ways to earn income through your site by placing ads on your site, selling e-books, or directing visitors to your offline business or service. You can also earn commission by directing visitors to make purchases from other companies. This is known as affiliate marketing. Some websites rely on one source of income, and others diversify by developing multiple income streams.
You don't have to spend thousands of dollars to build a web business if you follow the C-T-P-M process.

Wise men
This is based on the sketch this week on Come and get it:
I've used a digital image that I found with some other free Bible images, printed and mounted on to black card. The background paper is an offcut saved from a 12 x 12 My Mind's Eye Andrea Victoria black damask paper. The piece at the bottom if Basic Grey pyrus and the glittered strip was from Poundland, plus a miscellaneous sentiment.
I made this for Lizzy's & Tamesis Christmas 9: animals from the Christmas story. I am excited to say that as a winner of one of their challenges recently I've been invited to join their design team till the end of the year! More about that when I join them for my first challenge.

The IR Seeker V3 detects IR signals from the HiTechnic IR Beacon or IR ball and by using two detectors it calculates the direction to the signal source.
The relative signal strength from a left and right looking detector are combined to create approximate direction readings. These readings are simultaneously taken for both the 600Hz and 1200Hz beacon and ball frequencies. Direction readings to the left of center are negative, to the right of center are positive and dead ahead are zero.

Sanders, Clinton to meet privately
Presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton and rival Bernie Sanders are expected to meet privately Tuesday night, a meeting that many speculate could herald a public statement of support from Sanders for Clinton. Jillian Kitchener reports.
The two Democratic presidential candidates are set to meet .. but this time, it's not for a televised debate. With Hillary Clinton now the presumptive Democratic nominee, Bernie Sanders is expected, at some point to pledge his support. Whether such a pledge comes at their meeting is unknown, but Sanders has made it clear that he'll press Clinton to embrace his progressive agenda. ... specifically his view that healthcare should be a right and public universities should offer education for free. The self-described socialist has not conceded defeat. Even though Clinton made history as the first woman to receive enough delegates needed to win the Democratic nomination. According to a Reuters/Ipsos poll, more than three-quarters of Democrats say Sanders should have a "major role" in shaping the party's positions. But two-thirds ALSO say that Sanders SHOULD endorse Clinton... to strengthen the party before November's likely showdown with Republican Donald Trump.

Did you make the penguin yourself?? ALso what did you use for the snow and liquid? Would superglue work as the adhesive? Tutorial please !ReplyDelete
Sarah, nice to have you as a follower.ReplyDelete
The penguin can be made with Sculpey (oven-bake clays), the snow are glitters (available from amazon or any craft store) and the liquid is water with a little bit of glycerin to thicken the liquid a little bit. The hole is sealed with silicon ( the same used to seal a sink).
Hope it helps.

Bill to set aside $250,000 for blackbird damage prevention
Sen. John Hoeven, R-N.D., chairman of the Senate Agriculture Appropriations Committee, and Rep. Kevin Cramer, R-N.D., have announced that the Senate and House Fiscal Year 2018 Appropriations bills will make $250,000 available to help prevent blackbird damage to crops.
The funding will specifically support the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Animal and Health Inspection Service's use of fixed-wing aircraft to repel birds from fields.
According to the National Sunflower Association, blackbird damage is a persistent problem for growers costing about $11 million a year on average.
Both the Senate and Health Appropriations committees have approved their respective bills and now await approval by the Senate and House of Representatives.

Brighton Railway Works, 1928: At its peak in 1891, Brighton Railway Works employed 2,651 people building, painting and maintaining locomotives and carriages for the London, Brighton and South Coast Railway. Following the formation of Southern Railway in 1923, the workshops focussed on repair work, but during and after the Second World War steam and later diesel-electric locomotives were built, the last on 30 March 1957. The works closed in 1958 and were demolished in 1969.
Image reproduced with kind permission from Brighton and Hove in Pictures by Brighton and Hove City Council
Painting Carriages at Brighton Railway Works, 1928: A team of men painting carriages by hand at the Brighton railway paint shop. The paint shop was built in 1878 to the north of Old Shoreham Road, and soon after this photograph was converted into an electric stock maintenance centre.
Please note that this text is an extract from a reference work written in 1990. As a result, some of the content may not reflect recent research, changes and events.
(N.B. London, Brighton and South Coast Railway Company abbreviated to 'L.B.S.C.R.'.)
a) ESTABLISHMENT: The Brighton Railway Works occupied a large area between the main line and Boston Street, and originated at the end of 1842 when the maintenance of London and Brighton Railway stock was concentrated in the town. Carriages were fabricated from 1848, but the main locomotive manufacturing works, and the principal maintenance and repair shops of the L.B.S.C.R. were established in 1852 by the superintendent engineer, John Chester Craven. Originally intended for Horley, these workshops were the first centre of heavy industry to be established in the town.
b) EXPANSION: In 1854 a new wheel shop was opened, and further additions were made in 1860 and 1870. In 1870 William Stroudley became superintendent engineer and standardised locomotive production to just six classes with interchangeable parts; a green livery was also introduced, and locomotives were given individual names. A new iron foundry was added in 1873, and the works were extended to the north of Old Shoreham Road when carriage-painting and cleaning shops were built in 1878. The Brighton works also handled marine engineering for the company's cross-Channel fleet, although the steamer workshops were moved to Newhaven in 1880.
Stroudley died in 1889 (the stained-glass windows from his villa in Preston Road are exhibited at the Bluebell Railway) and was succeeded by R.J.Billington who immediately extended the works out on columns over the lower goods-yard line. Manufacture was concentrated in the original portion and produced about twelve locomotives annually. By 1891 2,651 people were employed at the railway works; there was a railway institute and library at the works, reached from Peel Place, and a railway mission in Viaduct Road.
Any numerical cross-references in the text above refer to resources in the Sources and Bibliography section of the Encyclopaedia of Brighton by Tim Carder.
Is there a map showing the siting and timing of the various developments as described in the article above? More details about the foundation of the Brighton Railway Mission can be found on this site under 'Churches'
A lot of my family worked in the Brighton Railway works. My great grandfather was Foreman in the foundry. I notice your previous contributor was Chris Fry - perhaps a relation to me? If he wishes to contact me forward my email address.

Pretrial hearing held in Illinois murder case
Southeast Missourian
One of the suspects in an Anna, Illinois, homicide was in court again Tuesday for a pretrial hearing. 26-year old Travis Turner, 26 Dongola faces first-degree murder charges in the April 2014 beating death of 46-year old James H. "Jimmy" Morrison of Anna. Turner has pleaded not guilty. At the hearing, public defender J. Jeremy Lloyd said he had not yet filed pretrial motions but anticipated many would be standard, such as requests to allow Turner to appear in his own clothing and without handcuffs. Morrison was found early April 12 outside a house on Douglas Street in Anna and later pronounced dead at Union County Hospital. Turner and 35-yeasr old Jessie Bell of Anna are accused of beating Morrison to death and are being tried separately. Bell allegedly struck Morrison in the head with his fists, and Turner allegedly hit him in the head with a piece of lumber. In Illinois, first-degree murder usually is punishable by 20 to 60 years in prison, but the penalty can go up to natural life in prison. Illinois law requires those convicted of murder to serve 100 percent of their sentences. Boie set another pretrial hearing for April 28 to allow time for motions to be filed in preparation for the June 22 trial date. Turner remains in custody.

"gloStream's mission is to help doctors reduce the cost and complexity of practicing medicine while maximizing revenue," said Mike Sappington, gloStream's CEO.
Troy, Michigan (PRWEB) November 19, 2012
gloStream, a leading provider of highly personalized electronic medical record and practice management services for ambulatory practices, today announced the launch of gloComplete, a full service billing, collections and revenue cycle management solution. gloComplete simplifies practice workflows while helping doctors bill and collect at the highest levels.
The gloComplete service offers practices a dedicated team that codes, submits and follows up on claims; actively works accounts receivable; and provides detailed financial reporting and analysis. The result is more revenue for the practice, greater visibility into key financial indicators, and a decrease in administrative time. gloComplete, which includes gloEMR and gloPM, gloStream's flagship EMR and PM technology, is one of the industry's only complete end-to-end solutions that covers front and back office operations.
"gloStream's mission is to help doctors reduce the cost and complexity of practicing medicine while maximizing revenue," said Mike Sappington, gloStream's CEO. "gloComplete is a solution that fulfills that mission. It's also a highly unique offering since our electronic medical record and practice management technology is included with the service."
gloComplete clients are assigned a dedicated team of billing and coding experts who scrub claims for completeness and correct coding before they are ever submitted. Claims are put through Medicare LCD/NCD and CCI bundling edits before submission to each payer and acuity is applied to each code to determine if accurate coding has occurred. This process ensures that clean claims coded at appropriate levels are sent to payers. For claims that are denied or unpaid, the gloStream team will work with payers, resubmit claims, and also handle the appeals process. The team also actively works each practice's accounts receivable so that claims for payers or overdue balances from patients are paid and never go ignored.
As a part of the gloComplete service a gloStream account manager provides all clients with in-depth reporting and practice analytics that shows accounts receivable status; payer mix; charge and payment processing activity; plus other important practice financial information. This is key data practices can leverage to ensure they are running efficient practices that are financially healthy.
"A key differentiator for our gloComplete clients is that they have a team of experts working on their behalf who are incentivized to see the practice succeed," added Sappington. "In addition, our team is already familiar with ICD-10 coding so our clients don't have to fear any decrease in revenue when this regulatory change takes effect."
About gloStream
gloStream provides doctors with highly personalized billing, collections and practice management services that help them do more with less, increase productivity and ease the stress and hassle of office administration. gloStream serves the very best medical practices seeking services and solutions that will empower them to achieve even higher levels of success.

Furthermore, remaining references, techniques and strategies on how to leave English as the Second Language which were consequently authored decently by English Speakers were adapted by these non-native English Teachers.
Today record non-native English tongued countries are hiring English Teachers for their childish social group. This is an provable development that English Language will be the worldwide poetry to be used in a bit in transacting commercial or in a effortless human activity beside other land.Post ads:

But utmost of these non-native English muttering countries charter teachers from English speaking countries. Of course, it is systematic that the privileged guru will be the human being who is terrifically much accident-prone and a earthy articulator of the expressions. Recently I have viva-voce to an Arabian National who, according to my understanding, he owns a educational institution job new Arab kids with ages move from 6 to 10 geezerhood old. He is hiring non-native English Teachers. That according to him, even still these teachers are non-native English, he is assured that they could appendage and steam engine these kids to revise English as their Second Language. And he told me that his teachers (non-native English Teachers) had well-tried a lot to him and to kids.
Teachers are skilled to teach next to their nominated enclosed space even if he/she is a non-native teacher of English. It sincere that a home-grown English mediator will be a virtuous instructor of the language, but this is done impression purposes merely. Unless of class it the don is a eligible lecturer and graduated as an English pedagogue. The youngsters will for certain imitate their teacher's enunciation and intonation and so on, because these kids are in that period of erudition by model. Unless of course, if the guru has the knowledge, techniques and strategies on how to give the oral communication is another entity. Whether it be a autochthonal English utterer or a non-native English speaker, as prolonged as they some passed to a particular qualification and have the requisite pattern to pirate English, both teachers knew how to kind these kids swot up English.
Though it is the perquisite of the non-native mumbling countries School Administrators to letting teachers whom they see fit to instruct English near their childlike generation, they should outward show forgotten what a spoken language instructor really is very Language and English Teachers.Post ads:

IEEE 802.2 is the original name of the ISO/IEC 8802-2 standard which defines Logical Link Control (LLC) as the upper portion of the data link layer of the OSI Model. The original standard developed by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) in collaboration with the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) was adopted by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in 1998, but it still remains an integral part of the family of IEEE 802 standards for local and metropolitan networks.
LLC is a software component that provides a uniform interface to the user of the data link service, usually the network layer. LLC may offer three types of services:
Conversely, the LLC uses the services of the Media Access Control (MAC), which is dependent on the specific transmission medium (Ethernet, Token Ring, FDDI, 802.11, etc.). Using LLC is compulsory for all IEEE 802 networks with the exception of Ethernet. It is also used in Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI) which is not part of the IEEE 802 family.
Golf is a club and ball sport in which players use various clubs to hit balls into a series of holes on a course in as few strokes as possible.
Golf is one of the few ball games that do not require a standardized playing area. The game is played on a course with an arranged progression of either nine or 18 holes. Each hole on the course must contain a tee box to start from, and a putting green containing the actual cup. There are other standard forms of terrain in between, such as the fairway, rough, and hazards, but each hole on a course is unique in its specific layout and arrangement.
Golf is played for the lowest number of strokes by an individual, known as stroke play, or the lowest score on the most individual holes in a complete round by an individual or team, known as match play. Stroke play is the most commonly seen format at all levels.
Golf is a 1922 American silent comedy film featuring Oliver Hardy. The film has been released on DVD.
Golf (also known as Polish Polka, Polish Poker, Turtle, Hara Kiri, Poison, or Crazy Nines) is a card game where players try to earn the lowest number of points (as in golf, the sport) over the course of nine deals (or "holes" to further use golfing terminology). It is a game for four or more players using a double-deck of 108 cards, and has little in common with its solitaire cousin.
Four or more players use two standard 52-card decks plus 2 or 4 Jokers . Each player is dealt 6 cards face down from the deck, the remainder is placed face down and the top card is turned up to start the discard pile beside it. Players arrange their 6 cards in 2 rows of 3 in front of them and turn 2 of these cards face up. This arrangement is maintained throughout the game and players always have 6 cards in front of them.
The object is for players to reduce the value of the cards in front of them by either swapping them for lesser value cards or by pairing them up with cards of equal rank and try to get the lower score.The highest score lost the game and the lower score wins the game. You have to play 10 games.

Smart phone users love their Wi-Fi capabilities. It enables them to get online with their device without using their data plan and it also allows them use their device in an area that their service provider may not have coverage. Many smart phone users in the San Francisco area have reason to be excited because it has been anno0ucned that GOWEX will now be providing free Wi-Fi service to hundreds of smart phone models. Users will get up to 1Mbps in download speeds, and GOWEX will see profits from service providers and advertisers. It is a win-win situation for all involved.
The free iOS and Android apps are available in their respective stores right now. Widespread Wi-Fi access like this has the potential to change how we connect to the internet in day to day life. One of the big bonuses is how much money is can potentially save consumers.

Oh, every 1st of the month, I am so happy to reveal to you another More Than Words inspired project!
And now here is the November Main Challenge at More Than Words:
The November challenge is to use the word SPECIAL as inspiration and incorporate OUR QUOTE into your project for the creative challenge. You therefore have to add something OLD, something NEW, something BORROWED or something BLUE.
More details and DT inspiration are available HERE!
The word SPECIAL inspired me to scrap this photo of Yves and I. The most special person in my life (besides my mom) is my boyfriend of 10 years who is a constant source of happiness and encouragement to me. So I made this layout all about our special & everlasting love as the title states.
I love this month's creative challenge and decided to incorporate the 4 parts of the quote on my layout.
NEW: I added 2 scalloped tags which I just recently ordered online.
BORROWED: My whole page has been created mostly with the BoBunny Genevieve collection, but I did borrow a few items from other manufactures that I thought matched well this line. Other manufactures include BasicGrey, Authentique, My Mind's Eye and Simple Stories, among a few others.
BLUE: It goes without saying that blue is one of 2 dominant colours I used! Love the royal/navy blue and yellow combination!
And now here are some close-ups on the details:
Hopefully you love my page and you will be playing along with us at More Than Words for a chance to win some amazing prizes as always. Make sure to visit the MTW blog to see more DT inspiration based on the November challenge.

The Golden Gate Bridge opened to the public on this day, May 27, in 1937. It was the longest suspension bridge in the world, at 4,200 feet (1,300 m).
The roadway is suspended from two cables that pass through a tower at each end. There are 80,000 miles (130,000 km) of wire in the main cables, and 1.2 million steel rivets hold the bridge together.
Read more about GG Bridge here.
Before this magnificent bridge was built, residents took ferries across San Francisco Bay.
Extensive ferry services crossed the Bay in the 1800s and early 1900s. Once the bridge was built, they ceased to exist.
Back then passengers boarded at the Hyde Street Pier, and took the ferry to Sausalito on the north side, or Berkeley on the east side.
Original plans for the new bridge design spanning the Golden Gate Strait began in 1916. It would be 21 years of surveys, plans, sketches, and patents. Numerous architects, designers, and engineers were consulted. Legislation, politics, financial plans, and lawsuits were generated.
Strong tides and currents, ferocious winds, deep water, and blinding fog were all natural elements with which to contend. Many experts said a bridge could not be built.
In addition, the bridge had to be high enough above the water to allow clearance for large ships, important for trade and war vessels.
Construction began January of 1933. Joseph B. Strauss, chief engineer, had a large network of engineers and architects working on various aspects of the bridge.
3.25 million cubic feet of dirt was excavated. Huge barrels of cement and aggregates were brought in on barges, and mixing concrete occurred on-site.
Anchorages were built 12 stories high, and a long tube (called an "elephant trunk") transported the mixed concrete down.
The two main towers were completed in June of 1935, then the cables were created, and "catwalks" for workers were erected.
Read more chronology of the bridge building here. About the men who built the bridge here.
In 1937 the bridge toll collected by toll-takers in booths was $.50 each way, and $.05 for every additional passenger.
Today it costs $7.25 per vehicle (with lower fares for car pools and others), and collection is 100% electronic.
After 79 years of service, the Golden Gate Bridge remains a major thoroughfare for residents, visitors, and commuters. It dazzles everyone who crosses, shows up in films and songs, and is a tourist destination for people from around the world.
Happy Birthday Golden Gate.

Windows 7 Beta leaked
It is inevitable in this day and age for software as well as games to be leaked on the Internet earlier than their official release date due to the carelessness on the part of the developer or snitching employees who decided that their Christmas bonus (or rather, the lack of it) just wasn't good enough an effort by the company to keep them going for another year. There are a 1,001 explanations for a leak, but I guess most people are not interested in the "how" but would rather just play around with the leaked software itself. The latest victim to fall to piracy of the digital kind and leaks is none other than Windows 7 Beta, according to searches at some BitTorrent sites today.
Those who frequent the Pirate Bay BitTorrent site would be able to find two Windows 7 Build 7000 listings that were posted last Friday, and depending on the type of connection you have, thousands and even millions of interested folks could have had installed Windows 7 on their experimental computer by now already. On Saturday afternoon itself, a single torrent on Pirate Bay revealed over 1,800 "seeders", alongside 8,500 "leechers" that are propagating and receiving the disk image of the 32-bit version of Windows 7 Ultimate, Build 7000, respectively. These are not hard and fast numbers, but more or less a general consensus of user comments and various Internet sources.
The beta build has been listed as a 2.44GB download, making many of us wonder whether netbooks will be powerful enough to run Windows 7 smoothly with the limited processing power and memory. For those who stay away from torrent sites, they can always keep their fingers crossed the Microsoft will keep to their promise of opening the beta to all users early next year without mentioning an exact release date, although latest information published on its own site does point toward a pre-January 13 release. If you're one of those who have already downloaded the Windows 7 Beta and installed it, how did it go?

Not great news for Microsoft who have been trying to keep this under wraps after the previous fiascos with leaked versions of the Windows OS.
Lets see how they cope with this one
Edwin Says: December 29, 2008 at 8:59 am
Well at least the build looks good to go and is pretty much stable enough to pass off as the real thing. Hopefully this is a turn for the better for MS after the Vista fiasco.
Michael Says: December 29, 2008 at 12:06 pm
So far I like the beta, which I got legally, but it's not at all ready for prime time. I hope Microsoft doesn't rush into it just because of the massive Vista fail. It would be a shame, since 7 is NOT a dog.
Daedal Says: January 8, 2009 at 11:59 am
Windows 7 works great. the GUI is better designed and much nicer than Vista. it Boots very fast. About as fast as my XP.
Michael Says: January 8, 2009 at 12:18 pm
Yeah, definitely not as dog slow as Vista and it seems to be more stable, on the whole. My only concern so far is that intensive operations, like video editing, seem to take even more resources than in Vista and are prone to failure. Still, not slower when it is working, unlike Vista and it's a beta. I would assume they'll figure it out BEFORE release, unlike with Vista.

LOS ANGELES -- A series of missed opportunities, frayed automaker relationships and inopportune scheduling have combined to put the reputation of the Los Angeles auto show near that of the typical regional dealer show, rather than in the pantheon of the world's great events in Frankfurt, Geneva, Paris, Tokyo and Detroit.
But Terri Toennies is out to change that. Hired to be the show's general manager after L.A. show owner Andy Fuzesi retired from his daily duties as GM, Toennies is already making changes to the show that she thinks will bring L.A. back into the top tier of auto shows.
Toennies has 30 years of mega-event planning experience, from running shows at the Syracuse War Memorial at Oncenter to overseeing corporate events for the House of Blues in Las Vegas.
"We're changing the status quo," Toennies said during a recent tour of the sprawling L.A. convention center. "L.A. has great recognition, with great opportunities."
It's no secret that L.A. had been run as a retail-consumer show. Although successful as an enterprise, the show drew complaints from automakers that their interests came second to generating 1 million turnstile counts every year. The show's timing also clashed with Detroit's show for many years, with L.A. losing out on many world premieres to the Motor City.
"We're listening to our OEM customers now," Toennies said.
One of the big changes is not having an automaker CEO kick off media days with a painfully scripted keynote speech. Instead, the show will feature a "Cars and Coffee" gathering, with a collection of classic cars from museums and celebrity collections.
A relocation of the press room to a larger space, plus more private hospitality suites for automakers and their vendors, will make more of the convention center's never-ending hallways.
On consumer days, the cavernous South Hall lobby will no longer be used for selling tickets. Instead it will be filled with more sheet metal, to give attendees a preview of what's inside the halls.
Although the show has long had a student design competition to create visions of cars of the future, that "Jetsons"-like display will be expanded with booths from automakers' Southern California design studios.
While no longer scheduled against Detroit, this year's scheduling fluke has the show overlapping with counterparts in Tokyo and Guangzhou, China. That will present a problem in luring the world's media.
Of course, having news to cover helps.
In past years, L.A. has become the dumping ground for second-tier vehicles and underwhelming green cars — stuff that wasn't important enough for the big-time shows. Despite many automakers' proclamations of the importance of the California market, the show was often thin gruel for journalists.
This year, however, Porsche has already announced that its Macan compact crossover will have its global debut in L.A. -- and not at the massive Frankfurt show two months before. That's a coup. Also, McLaren will have a factory presence -- something it didn't have at Detroit in January. But Alfa Romeo has decided to skip the 2013 show after initially agreeing to participate, show organizers say.
The day before the show's media days, organizers have created a Connected Car Expo for automakers, vendors, insurance executives and car dealers. In addition to speaker panels, the expo will include a "Shark Tank"-style session, where app developers will pitch their innovative ideas to venture capitalists and automakers.
"This is not just another telematics conference," Toennies quipped.
That gathering will segue into the J.D. Power/NADA Western Automotive Conference in the afternoon -- another session of industry heavyweights.
And once the auto show is over, the event isn't finished.
Although most show displays travel the auto show circuit in crates, certain pieces get one use and are then disposed of. Toennies is asking automakers to recycle their booths' carpeting and subflooring so that they can be donated to Habitat for Humanity.
Said Toennies: "We're hoping to build a couple houses with it."
Editor's note: Alfa Romeo intended to participate in the 2013 Los Angeles auto show but has now decided to skip the event. An earlier version of this blog indicated the Italian brand would take part in the show.

Thank goodness it is Friday! It has been one heck of a week. I'm looking forward to a weekend of relaxation and fun... bring on the sunshine.
I gave up sweets, junk food, and really anything that tastes great for Lent, in hopes of losing some weight. I've put on a few pounds since last summer and I'm determined to shed it! It really hasn't been too hard, but I've had my moments. Sometimes, I just want a muffin. Or some ice cream. Or a brownie. Or a caramel macchiato. OK, so maybe it's been sort of hard. BUT, I can now have a muffin and not feel bad about it with this recipe! These Whole Wheat Banana Oat Muffins are a healthy alternative to the muffins at the bakery or grocery store. They're packed with good-for-you ingredients that you can actually pronounce and there's no added sugar.
These muffins are the perfect breakfast, mid-day snack, or dessert. They're moist, delicious, and nutritious-- you can't go wrong. Try them today!
Whole Wheat Banana Oat Muffins
Makes 12 Muffins
1 cup whole wheat flour (or half wheat and half all-purpose)
1/2 cup old fashioned oats
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons cinnamon
3 ripe bananas, mashed (the riper the banana is, the sweeter the banana will be)
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon olive oil
*Optional: I didn't add any sweetener to my muffins, but if you want to add some sweetness add in 1/4 to 1/2 cup sweetener (brown sugar, sugar, honey, etc.)
Preheat the oven to 350* and line a muffin pan with foil-lined baking cups (if you don't have foil-lined cups, spray paper cups with non-stick spray- otherwise these muffins will stick!). In a small mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients. In a large mixing bowl, combine the wet ingredients. (I mash the bananas in the large bowl and beat the eggs in a small bowl, then transfer them to the bowl with the bananas.) Add the dry mixture to the wet mixture and mix until well combined. Pour the batter into the baking cups and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Oh, and I need to mention that a slather of nut butter takes these muffins over the top. You won't even miss not having sugar. Promise!
Do you have any favorite "skinny" or "lightened up" dessert/snack recipes?

It's amazing the ways your grow each month Henry. You crawl around so speedily I can barely keep up. You LOVE to say "no" and it's probably one of the cutest things I've ever seen. You still barely need any sleep at all to function so joyfully. I can't even believe it. You sleep less than Elias on most days and you are always happy. Well, almost always happy, you are most unhappy at bed time. I honestly think that it's because you know you are missing out on some sort of fun. You are such a chatterbox. You babble on and on and I'm certain you think we can understand you. I think you will be talking early like your brother. I can't help but laugh every time you flee as fast as possible when I come after you for trying to put something in your mouth or touching something you know you shouldn't. When you do that you laugh SO hard I can't help but laugh along. I just couldn't enjoy time with you more if I tried. You are so fun to be around. I love watching you grow and am so blessed to be your mommy.
This picture reminds me so much of my little sister Erica's baby pictures which makes me think he must look more like our side of the family than I think. He is also feeling much better than in last month's picture!
And the lovely outtakes!

Before the DONDA announcement, and subsequent explosion of loose plans and prophecies, Kanye West took to Twitter to promise us a new G.O.O.D. Music album in 2012. Good, no great, news for all those who enjoyed Yeezy's weekly free releases leading up to My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy in 2010, as well as the roster of artists he's collected for his label. With Watch the Throne in the books and a few sparing DJ sets to his name, it appears West is ready to get back to studio work, releasing new G.O.O.D. single, "Mercy," on Friday April 6. (The same day One Direction's Madison Square Garden tickets go on sale?! Someone get me a latte while I rearrange s few things.)
The track reportedly features West, Big Sean, and Pusha T, who took to Twitter to reveal Friday's event, stealing a good deal of thunder from Yeezy, the Easter Bunny and Jesus. Sorry, but he's serious about this one, as seen in the five separate tweets about the upcoming release/play on the Christian holiday. He's also left us with only two days to speculate what the track will sound like, if West will incorporate it into one of those aforementioned DJ sets and whether or not there will be a video. Yeezy hasn't strayed away from marginally religious holiday tunes before, so go out on a limb and add it to your Easter Egg Playlist for the coming weekend.

The Android Doll Humidifier can hold a little over 8 ounces of water, comes complete with USB cable, replacement wicks, and works for up to 10 hours at a time, but it doesn't seem to come with instructions, at least not written in English, so if you think you might need a hand there, this little guy may not be for you.
The USB Humidifier may be just the ticket to keep you from feeling parched and uncomfortable, whatever the climate, and you can have one for under 40 bucks from amazon.com.

I once visited certain electronics shop and I am interested on their USB mist humidifier. It is quite helpful for us as there are many USB things that are being invented which are useful for us.

Even though this track was omitted, it totally fits in with the opus—a tale of Lamar's coming of age in Compton. But apparently someone thought it didn't work. Regardless, it has some pretty awesome references to some classic Saturday morning cartoons. [Kendrick Lamar, iTunes, Amazon, Spotify]

These images show the progress:
A far cry from when the project was started!
You can see all the new soffits. Now there are no birds flying around in the attic!
It wasn't really feasible to add the soffits back between the first and second floors,
so a wide moulding was
placed to add separation and a design element.
The Vintage double doors were an ebay purchase. Ebay is a great source for materials.
