He who in his childhood had saved the lives of the earthworms now began to picture the agonies of the rabbit from its lacerated leg. If it were a "bad catch" by the hind-leg, the animal would tug during the ensuing six hours till the iron teeth of the trap had stripped the leg-bone of its flesh, when, should a weak-springed instrument enable it to escape, it would die in the fields from the mortification of the limb. If it were a "good catch," namely, by the fore-leg, the bone would be broken and the limb nearly torn in two in attempts at an impossible escape.
Almost half an hour passed, and the rabbit repeated its cry. Jude could rest no longer till he had put it out of its pain, so dressing himself quickly he descended, and by the light of the moon went across the green in the direction of the sound. He reached the hedge bordering the widow's garden, when he stood still. The faint click of the trap as dragged about by the writhing animal guided him now, and reaching the spot he struck the rabbit on the back of the neck with the side of his palm, and it stretched itself out dead.
He was turning away when he saw a woman looking out of the open casement at a window on the ground floor of the adjacent cottage. "Jude!" said a voice timidly — Sue's voice. "It is you — is it not?"
"Yes, dear!"
"I haven't been able to sleep at all, and then I heard the rabbit, and couldn't help thinking of what it suffered, till I felt I must come down and kill it! But I am so glad you got there first... They ought not to be allowed to set these steel traps, ought they!"
Jude had reached the window, which was quite a low one, so that she was visible down to her waist. She let go the casement-stay and put her hand upon his, her moonlit face regarding him wistfully.
"Did it keep you awake?" he said.
"No — I was awake."
"How was that?"
"Oh, you know — now! I know you, with your religious doctrines, think that a married woman in trouble of a kind like mine commits a mortal sin in making a man the confidant of it, as I did you. I wish I hadn't, now!"
"Don't wish it, dear," he said. "That may have BEEN my view; but my doctrines and I begin to part company."
"I knew it — I knew it! And that's why I vowed I wouldn't disturb your belief. But — I am SO GLAD to see you! — and, oh, I didn't mean to see you again, now the last tie between us, Aunt Drusilla, is dead!"
Jude seized her hand and kissed it. "There is a stronger one left!" he said. "I'll never care about my doctrines or my religion any more! Let them go! Let me help you, even if I do love you, and even if you..."
"Don't say it! — I know what you mean; but I can't admit so much as that. There! Guess what you like, but don't press me to answer questions!"
"I wish you were happy, whatever I may be!"
"I CAN'T be! So few could enter into my feeling — they would say 'twas my fanciful fastidiousness, or something of that sort, and condemn me... It is none of the natural tragedies of love that's love's usual tragedy in civilized life, but a tragedy artificially manufactured for people who in a natural state would find relief in parting! ... It would have been wrong, perhaps, for me to tell my distress to you, if I had been able to tell it to anybody else. But I have nobody. And I MUST tell somebody! Jude, before I married him I had never thought out fully what marriage meant, even though I knew. It was idiotic of me — there is no excuse. I was old enough, and I thought I was very experienced. So I rushed on, when I had got into that training school scrape, with all the cock-sureness of the fool that I was! ... I am certain one ought to be allowed to undo what one had done so ignorantly! I daresay it happens to lots of women, only they submit, and I kick... When people of a later age look back upon the barbarous customs and superstitions of the times that we have the unhappiness to live in, what WILL they say!"
"You are very bitter, darling Sue! How I wish — I wish — "
"You must go in now!"
In a moment of impulse she bent over the sill, and laid her face upon his hair, weeping, and then imprinting a scarcely perceptible little kiss upon the top of his head, withdrawing quickly, so that he could not put his arms round her, as otherwise he unquestionably would have done. She shut the casement, and he returned to his cottage.

Sioux Falls Man Indicted For Fraud
United States Attorney Brendan V. Johnson announced that a Sioux Falls, South Dakota man has been indicted by a federal grand jury for fraud.
Randal Kent Hansen, age 65, was indicted by a federal grand jury on May 8, 2013 for Conspiracy to Commit Wire Fraud and Mail Fraud; Wire Fraud; and Mail Fraud. He appeared before U.S. Magistrate Judge John E. Simko on May 15, 2013 and pled not guilty to the indictment.
The maximum penalty upon conviction is 20 years imprisonment, a $250,000 fine or both. The charge is merely an accusation and Hansen is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.
The investigation is being conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Assistant U.S. Attorney Jeffrey C. Clapper is prosecuting the case.
Hansen was released on bond pending trial. A trial date has not been set.

Microsoft has released the final versions of Visual Studio 2013 Update 3 and Team Foundation Server (TFS) 2013 Update 3.
Microsoft has been on a quarterly release cycle for its flagship integrated development environment since 2012 and already is working on Visual Studio 2013 Update 4, said Brian Harry, a Microsoft corporate vice president and technical fellow, in an interview with eWEEK.
"There are a few things I'm excited about in this release," Harry said. "One of them is that we now provide CodeLens support for Git. CodeLens gives you this heads-up display overlay of your code. We introduced it as TFS version control support. We also introduced Git support. In update 3 we are bringing Git support up to parity with everything you can do with version control. There are still some things you can't do yet. You can't yet do code review with Git, but you can do it with TFS. However, CodeLens is a pretty big step for us."
Another fairly big thing in Update 3 is Application Insights tooling. Application Insights allows you to track application telemetry and Microsoft has introduced an SDK to enable developers to instrument their applications. That SDK is now included in VS 2013 Update 3.
Further reading
Microsoft also continues to build out its release management capability, particularly since its acquisition of InRelease. "We've been integrating on that. We're converging the release management capability with other stuff," Harry said. "This one has support for PowerShell desired state configurations. The latest way to do reliable distributed app deployment."
The company also added integration with Chef, which, next to Puppet, is the most popular non-Windows deployment automation solution out there. "The big thing Chef gives Microsoft is a good story for non-Windows platforms. Now you can use Microsoft's release management software to also do deployments to apps on any platforms—on Linux, on Macs or any platforms," Harry said.
Meanwhile, Microsoft has also been working on is its test case management capabilities.
"We've been gradually iterating our customer feedback and addressing the most common requests," Harry said. "And we're doing a big one in Update 3. One of the big ones has been the ability to do test suite and plan customization so you don't have to use the out-of-the-box testing methodology, but that you can customize it to the testing methodology that you use. And along with that came a lot of things like better test cases, test case auditing so you could understand who made what changes to you test plans."
Harry said the most requested enhancement in Update 3 is related to the user interface (UI). Microsoft has received complaints about the Visual Studio UI ever since it made changes in 2012. "As you probably heard we got a lot of feedback on the UI since it shipped in 2012 regarding color schemes and the menus that were all caps; all uppercase," he said. "There's a set of our developers who just don't like that. As funny as it sounds, it is our number one request on UserVoice. It is the number one complaint. So in update 3 we made the menus configurable, so users can choose whether they like uppercase or lowercase. That got quite a reception when I first blogged about it."
Microsoft also made a set of improvements to its Agile tooling—the Scrum tooling in the TFS Web UI. "That's one where we're taking an iterative approach. We're trying to make it better."
At TechEd 2014, Microsoft provided support for Apache Cordova in Visual Studio in the way of a Community Technology Preview (CTP). The CTP of the Cordova tooling was so that developers can build cross-platform HTML apps that will run on Windows, iOS, Android and more. Microsoft is now releasing a new CTP of the Cordova tooling.

What will you be doing this Saturday? Siting on the sofa watching a bland TV programme? Drinking too many beers or wine? Wondering why you're bored – when everyone else seems to be out having fun? So, do something different!
We're off to walk overnight from Ballater to take the sunrise views from the Munro, Lochnagar. The outing is sure to be great fun and we can promise you camaraderie and a Champagne and strawberries breakfast at the summit.
Of course, there is no guarantee of a view but we'll have our fingers and toes crossed.
Lochnagar (also called Beinn Chìochan) is a mountain in the Grampians, situated about five miles south of the River Dee, near Balmoral. Technically, the English name is a misunderstanding because Lochnagar was named after Lochan na Gaire – the "little loch of the noisy sound" – which is in fact a loch that is found in the mountain's northeast corrie. The mountain is also known Beinn Chìochan, which means mountain of breasts in Gaelic.
If you fancy the Glentrek sunrise walk, please contact us. We'll be setting off at 11pm on Friday July 14 from Ballater. The guided mountain walking takes place in darkness and we're hoping for a magnificent sunrise on the Sunday morning. The price per person is £30, which includes a 25% discount.
Email firstname.lastname@example.com to book or call us on 07934443557 for more info.

BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Two Belgian explorers will attempt to set a world record for the longest ever polar expedition without the outside support or motorized aid, traveling over 6,000 km (3,728 miles) in 100 days across Antarctica.
Veteran adventurer Dixie Dansercoer, who crossed the southern continent in 1997, and 26-year-old Sam Deltour aim to take advantage of the specific wind patterns around the continent to cover large distances using kites to help sail their heavy sleds across the ice and snow.
This will allow them to travel up to 300 km in a day and an average of 60 km, to break the current world record of Norwegian Rune Gjeldnes who trekked 4,800 kilometers in 90 days five years ago.
"It would be impossible if we had to pull the sleds all by ourselves," Dansercoer, who will start his expedition on Nov 4, explained at a news conference on Tuesday.
Their route will take them in a loop from the Russian Novolazarevskaya research station to the South Pole before returning across yet unchartered territory between the Vostok research station and the Shackleton ice shelf.
The pair will each have a sled initially weighing 190 kg (420 pounds), which will contain food supplies, tents, kites and scientific equipment.
During their trip they will measure wind patterns and supply information about the quality of the ice they encounter to scientists studying climate change back in Belgium.
As they will have no new supplies from outside, the largest part of their luggage consists of frozen food rations to provide each of them with the crucial 5,000 calories needed each day to undertake such a physically challenging trip.
For Deltour, being a polar explorer became his dream after he discovered a book about the first polar expeditions in his local library as a 12-year-old. He said he was aware that exploration was no easy task.
"The human species wasn't designed for Antarctica," Deltour said. "You have to trust your instincts."
Dansercoer and Deltour plan to reach the South Pole around Dec 14, 100 years to the day after Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen was the first to set foot there.
Amundsen reached the South Pole in 1911 and was also part of the first expedition to Antarctica in winter in 1897 on a ship called "Belgica."

Darling Husband and I want to buy a house.
We live in Canada (Ontario – the GTHA to be specific…one of the most expensive housing markets you're going to find…)
We've recently discovered that his DC Pension Plan at his work has a nice sum for a downpayment in it. We also have a bunch of debts (car, student loans, credit cards…we're trying to get those paid off).
I think we need a financial advisor to tell us what our best course of action is and the best way to take advantage of all the programs available – I used to work for a bank, so I have a pretty good idea of what we should do, but I'm not confident enough to tell Darling Husband 'do this with your/our hard earned money' without being worried it's a mistake.
Where do we start trying to find an advisor? Is the bank the place to go? Do we go to a private firm? Any advice is appreciated!

So last week I had kids work through a station activity on patterns. I collected and gave feedback on that activity to ensure that they knew what they were doing. The next day I introduced the project.
They were to go onto visualpatterns and choose any four patterns they liked. I pulled up the website and gave them a very little bit of direction on what may be good types of ones to choose, but ultimately it was entirely their call.
Their task was to choose two linear and two non-linear. This in itself meant they had to be able to identify a linear pattern.
For each pattern they chose they needed to:
[note: no lined paper]
This is my algebra 1 class and we had barely started really writing equations so I didn't want to put too much focus on the equation part. Instead, I wanted to make sure they REALLY know what it means to be linear.
This is the instruction sheet and rubric I handed out: pdf doc
I will fill out four of the first rubrics per kid (one for each pattern) and then one of the overall ones. I printed them out two to a side so 4 rubrics is only one sheet of paper. I know it looks crazy involved, but it's actually really simple. I like things to be as clear as possible so it makes it really easy for me to grade.
|The set of rubrics for each kid
As far as the part for "Overall Project & Format" I told my kids that I wanted creativity. Now I don't think anything is wrong with a project that neatly and correctly on simple white paper or on graph paper or something. I made it so that a simple project can get a max of a 95 (which is awesome) but to get that extra 5 points I told them I wanted to be wowed.
I actually did have some rationale behind this. I am NOT the type of person that wants work to be pretty if there is not educational reason behind it. I'm teaching math, not art. I am certainly not giving out points for things to just look pretty.
Since we are dealing with patterns I thought that physically building models could really help to solidify the meaning of a constant rate of change. Let's say they were building a linear pattern with toothpicks that consistently increased by 2. Each time they build a new figure they would physically have to reach for two extra toothpicks. Or for one that increases more exponentially, they would find themselves needed more and more additional ones each time.

Hello again my readers! It seems that today is the day of the 71st Annual Golden Globe awards, how exciting! It seems like just yesterday that I was getting all excited and writing about the People's Choice Awards (probably because it almost was). Too many awards show, so little time. Anyway, I'm pretty much just going to do exactly the same thing I did the other day, so not many surprises there. And here's some excitement, I'm writing it live! I don't know what's gonna happen, you don't know what's gonna happen, it could get crazy!
Best and Worst Dressed
In my usual fashion (get it, fashion), I'm going to start the post off with my rating of the best and worst dressed. Prepare to get cut throat and judgmental! But I'll be nice again and ease you into it with the best dressed list first.
Best Dressed
Giuliana Rancic
Yes, I know, she's not exactly an actress, but she was there in clothing, so I think it still counts. Even though Giuliana was one of the interviewers on the red carpet, she still looked amazeballs! I would seriously wear that (I don't know where I'd wear it, but I would). Plus she is on 'Fashion Police', so who better to feature in the one fashion section I have on the blog, am I right?
Margot Robbie
The star of 'The Wolf of Wall Street' Margot Robbie looked super super awesome at the Golden Globes! She went with white, which can sometimes be boring, but she rocked it and made it work. TBH, I'd actually never heard of her before the award show, but she's Australian and looked amazeballs, so two good things!
Maria Menounos
Again, it's time to come clean, I had never heard of her before the award show, but again, she did look amazeballs! I'm loving the pink, and you'd think that the little cut outs on the dress wouldn't work, but they did. She really knocked it out of the park, despite the fact I have no idea why she was there and what movie of TV show she was in, but it's not like that matters anyway.
Rachel Smith
It seems that I'm 3 for 3 here, because once again, no idea. After some googling I discovered that she's actually a model, so what is she doing at the Golden Globes? I don't know, she probably broke in. Whatever she did seems to be working for her, because her dress is absolutely amazeballs. It is so great, seriously! I want it, right now.
Zooey Deschanel
Appearing on my best dressed list for the second time (which I'm sure is a greater honour for her than being nominated for a Golden Globe) is star of 'New Girl' Zooey Deschanel. I seriously love this despite the mixed reviews out there in the land of the internet. It's cute, it's quirky, it's girly and it's awesome. Plus, she had really awesome nails!
Daisies! How awesome is that? Nail art for the win!
Worst Dressed
Kaley Cuoco
I know, I'm depressed too. She normally looks so great at all the awards shows! I remember when she made it onto my best dressed list back in the day, oh how times have changed. It's not so much the style of this dress that bothers me, it's just the god awful curtain-like pattern, it's actually quite disgusting. Also it just kinda looks like she needs to hoik the dress up a bit so that it fits properly, either that or she should shoot her seamstress. Better luck next time Kaley.
Lena Dunham
Never failing to disgust us, it seems that Lena Dunham has done it again, making this her second appearance on my worst dressed list. To be fair, she does look a lot better than she has in a while, but that's not saying much. Yellow never works, ever, so there was really no hope for her from the start. Plus, the shape of the dress isn't the most flattering on her to say the least. Who knows, maybe next award show she'll surprise everyone and be the best dressed one there (or probably not)?
Lizzy Caplan
I actually don't even know what to say, because I'm not exactly sure what makes this so bad. She kinda looks like an intense, aztec robot. I think it's just a bit full on for me. The gold just kinda makes it look tacky, and the black doesn't help. Sorry Lizzy, you even looked better back in the day when you were in 'Mean Girls', and considering you were a depressed emo outsider, perhaps you should consider going with a different style next award show.
Paula Patton
I had absolutely no idea who she was before the award show, but I certainly know who she is now. This dress is legitimately scary. It looks like the right side of it is trying to eat her. Even though it seems impossible, it looks even worse in video. It seriously is an awful monstrosity, that's all.
Zoe Saldana
This dress is truly hideous. Again, I'd never actually heard of Zoe Saldana, but now I won't be able to forget her. The image of that awful dress will haunt me for the next few weeks. It looks like she just walked into a junk yard, grabbed whatever she could find, and really terribly sewed it together. But no, apparently it was custom made! That's right, that thing was made specifically for her. RIP good taste!
The Actual Award Show
This year, the Golden Globes was once again hosted by the legendary comedy duo Tina Fey and Amy Poehler.
They started their introduction in what can only be described as a massive roast of pretty much every celebrity in the audience. Matt Damon was referred to as 'the garbage man' (which he luckily went along with)
Martin Scorsese was named 'the smallest man with the biggest glasses', and apparently Kerry Washington is carrying President Fitz's baby.
Yep, the opening monologue got pretty intense. However, in my opinion, the best quote throughout the whole thing was this: "Gravity is nominated for Best Film. It's the story of how George Clooney would rather float away into space and die than spend one more minute with a woman his own age".

A close second was when we cut to Julia Louis-Dreyfus, who had apparently escaped from the television section and begun hiding out in the movie section.
While doing this, she also managed to smoke and wear sunglasses.
But that wasn't the last we saw of her. Later in the show, it seemed that she's sneakily made her way back to the TV section, being a traitor to all.
Plus, news update everyone, Amy Poehler apparently has a new face. Yep, this is what we saw when the camera cut to Amy in the audience.
If you don't trust me, if you think this intro sounds too outrageous to be true, just watch it here for yourself.
Again, in my usual award show recap fashion, I'm just going to put all the winners together, because despite them being distributed throughout the award show, I don't think anyone ever could be bothered to write them down as it happens.

Was I entirely happy with these wins? Eh, truth be told I didn't really care that much. However, I am super devastated that 'Glee' didn't even get nominated, what is with the Foreign Press? I'm offended, majorly. Also, personally I think that 'Frozen' should've won for best original song, but TBH, I'm just happy it wasn't Taylor Swift. I don't think I could survive putting another picture of her on here.
My Awards
I know I'd normally be doing the music section now, but guess what, there was no music! Which is actually probably a good thing, because let's get real, does anyone ever actually enjoy the performances? If we brought the Glee Cast out everything would be awesome, but unfortunately that probably won't ever happen.
Anyway, I'm just going to do my usual thing and give out some of the awards I feel best fit the show. So without further ado, here are my winners . . .
Best Mispronunciation: When Amy Poehler mispronounced the name of the mighty Tom Hanks.
To which Tom Hanks responded with a . . .
Best Celebrity Impersonation: Melissa McCarthy thinks she's Matt Damon. There's no way I can explain this and do it justice, just watch it.
Best Act of Defiance: Emma Thompson, who's decided to YOLO her way through the Golden Globes.
Best Onstage Skit: When Amy Poehler pretended to be Tina Fey's illegitimate son, Randy, and become 'Mr Golden Globes' in favour of gender equality.
Apparently, 'Randy' still doesn't know who his celebrity father is, so decides to go searching the room to find him.
Best Interview Bomb: Jennifer Lawrence gatecrashing an interview with Taylor Swift (which just makes it even better).
Best Celebrity Snub: Julia Louis-Dreyfus, still in character from the opening skit, refusing to take a selfie with Reese Witherspoon.
So that's now the end of my 2014 Golden Globes post, how exciting! It was probably a bit shorter than my usual award show posts, but I guess that just makes it better for you. You're welcome. Til' next time . . .

University of Missouri Reviews
Don't let the University of Missouri being a state school turn you off of this great school university. It is very reasonable and it has programs to meet any interest (and I mean any interest- I was a Classical Humanities major!) and has one of the best journalism schools in the country. Even its medical and vet schools are top notch. I always found the staff to be very helpful and knowledgable (I have even been pleasantly surprised to find their published articles in several publications I read).The campus is beautiful and many of its dorms and buildings have been recently renovated, which is quite nice and I still miss the rec center pool and rock wall. I loved my four years at the University of Missouri.
Overall I had a wonderful experience at the University of Missouri. Columbia is very much the quintessential college town where everything a student would need is a short distance away. I felt like the school had a wide variety of courses, extracurricular opportunities and resources. Although extremely expensive, I did appreciate the fact that Mizzou put a lot of money back into the school for updated facilities, residential halls and state of the equipment.
Great campus! Quaint and easy to get around. The entire city of Columbia revolves around the University so there are plenty of student discounts and deals. For those interested in persuing a theater degree, the summer stock theater program is a great way for students to get an idea of what it's like to work in professional theater. The playwrighting program is amazing and there are plenty opportunities to showcase your work in various workshops and contests.
The undergraduate, special education program at the University of Missouri was outstanding. They prepared me for a future in special education and gave me a well rounded approach to education, with a focus in evidence-based practices. I was prepared to work with students with varying disabilities from mild to severe.
I would highly recommend the University of Missouri in Columbia, MO to any potential student who might be considering enrollment. I was a student studying Health Sciences in the School of Health Professions at Mizzou and I feel fully prepared to enter into the next step of my education in physical therapy school. Almost each class that contributed to my undergraduate degree, whether it be a general studies course or a course specific to my degree, was taught sufficiently well and left me with knowledge that I will be able to carry with me into the next phase of my education. One part that was discouraging to me during my undergraduate studies was the climate of the general science classes. In my general chemistry and physics courses, the class size was around 300 people and the professors were not very concerned about each of us individually. I found this to be less prevalent as I took more specialized classes geared towards my degree and I found that professors for my degree program were concerned about me as a person and student. Apart from classes I enjoyed being on this campus for many different reasons. To get to experience a big campus with a large population was very important to me, and there were many ways to be involved here. Some of the ways I was able to get involved included Greek life, service opportunities and professional organizations. I would highly recommend this school to any potential student, whether just starting or as a transfer. It is a great community to be involved in, no matter what program you're studying or what extracurriculars you want to join.
My Degree is hands down top 5 at The University of Missouri. From a department head that cares about the relevance of every class. But a program that works hard to place students in correct and effective internships to show how their degree works. If anyone were to ask me in surprise interview, I would recommend my degree to anyone at my school.
Every institution you go to you can find exactly what you are looking for. The University of Missouri has been a window of opportunity for me to get a degree. More importantly the network of individuals that have provided unbelievable opportunities for me to see the world in a different light was crucial to my life. If someone questions your judgement to come to this university remember to always respond with "why would I not follow a great opportunity?" Getting an education at Mizzou in Parks, Recreation and Tourism was an investment and opportunity. This campus has a wide variety of opportunities to help you become the person you want to be. If you are wanting to alter the trajectory of your life, the University of Missouri has the resources and people to help you do just that. Good luck!
I may say that Mizzou was not my first choice for attending undergraduate, however it was the best choice. I was challenged and most of the faculty I was involved with, truly cared about my education. Mizzou is a positive environment for learning and allows people to grow as individuals. If I had to re-do my undergraduate career, I would still choose the University of Missouri.
The University of Missouri is a great school and they have a wide variety of degree programs that you can pursue. This Spring I graduated with a double major and double minor. There is a lot you can do on Mizzou's campus and everyone is very involved with the school. Now I am moving onto the University of Missouri-St. Louis to pursue my masters in Criminology and Criminal Justice and I couldn't be more excited. UMSL will be a different school environment, but I am excited to meet new people and further my education in the pursuit of my dreams. This scholarship would be a huge help to pay for the tuition costs of graduate school.
The agricultural journalism at Mizzou is absolutely unmatched by other programs I looked at when applying to colleges. Because of the rigorous coursework through the journalism school (which is currently ranked #1 for journalism programs in the U.S.) and the extensive opportunities available through the College of Agriculture, there is no better place to study agricultural communications. You will graduate 100% prepared for an entry-level job in related fields with this degree.

Lomo with roasted pepper and herbs #156
Lomo is Spanish pork tenderloin that is dried in a similar way like salami, it´s very lean and is great if you like charcuterie but are not a fan of the fat that usually comes with it. Sometimes the Lomo is also flavoured with spices like paprika or herbs. To the lomo I simply added a piece of roasted red pepper that is marinated with some chives and parsley. A very simple tapas that is packed with flavor.
Lomo with roasted pepper and herbs
sliced Lomo
red peppers
vegetable oil
salt, pepper
olive oil
Turn on your oven on maximum heat, coat the peppers with a little bit of vegetable oil and roast in the oven for 8-10 minutes, remove from the oven and set aside to cool down. Peel the peppers and cut them i large squares. Marinate the peppers in the olive oil with chopped chives, parsley, salt and pepper. Add a piece of pepper for each slice of Lomo. Serve.

Obamacare website Utter Failure
The number of Obamacare website problems since the website opened has been deeply embarrassing for the White House. The drawbacks have called into question whether the Obama administration is capable of implementing the complex policy they seems to be unaware of the scope of the problems when the exchange sites opened.
Even Obama acknowledges problems:
"Nobody is madder than me about the fact that the website is not working as well as it should, which means it's gonna get fixed," Obama said.
He even turn to an ex-adviser Jeffrey Zients, he is the former acting director of the White House budget office.
A person close to the project said that "No way it was properly tested before it went live" since the website is full of bugs and junk computer codes.

The food they ate ended up being naturally from the property. There have been studies that report that these people didn't suffer health problems such as we have today.

Celine Dion's Titanic Song
The Ship of Dreams...
Greatest love story ever told? Or perhaps, one of the most over rated ones ever conceived? Whether you love or hate this movie, the reality is that upon it's original theatrical release that it not only won various cinematic awards, but it also became the highest grossing film of all time. Granted, "Avatar" would come along to dethrone "Titanic" eventually, as the highest grossing film in cinematic history, but "Titanic" was the top dog for a while in terms of box office success. However, what is it about this movie that made it one of the highest grossing films of all time? Was it really as good people made it out to be? Was it truly the greatest love story ever told in the history of cinema? Or was it arguably the most over hyped one that was ever released? Well, let's get into that now.
The movie is said be inspired by the real life tragedy involving the Titanic. Upon it's completion, Titanic was said to be unsinkable, and it was arguably the largest man made ship ever built, at the time period. However, as history also shows, the unsinkable part was far fetched to say the least. The reality is that many people lost their lives on the Titanic maiden voyage, as it's been documented as being one of the most tragic events in history. Before I begin this review, I would like to point out that any criticism that's cited isn't a reflection of my thoughts on the tragic sinking of the Titanic. No, any criticism that I may have is focused purely on the film itself.
Although I do agree with most people that this film would've been a helluva a lot better had it been played out through various points of views of other characters, but I can't judge this movie based on how I think it should have been. No, I can only judge this movie based on what it actually is; which is essentially a tragic love story.
It's not a bad movie at all if you want me to be brutally honest, as I certainly liked it a lot. Granted, I would hardly call it the greatest love story of all time, as that would absurd. Hell, I wouldn't even put this film in my top ten to be honest, which is why I would say the movie is a bit over rated. Of course, this leads me to a perplexing dilemma though about "Titanic."
On the one hand, I do agree that this was a great love story, and it had a lot of great memorable scenes that make it timeless. I thought Kate Winslet was excellent in her performance, as she certainly carried her part well. As for Leonardo DiCaprio, I still say this isn't his best movie, but for the way his character was written, he still manages to pull off the part rather well. The musical score and soundtrack are very memorable, and you have to applaud James Cameron for his exquisite level of detail to the scenery of the movie itself. Not only did James Cameron nail the look, and setting, for the era the movie takes place in, but you have to really tip your hat off to Mr. Cameron to the level of detail he put into this movie's re-release.
For example, many "Titanic" fans complained about the positioning of the stars in the film's climatic scene, as many of them claim the positioning of them were way off course for the alleged time the Titanic sinking happened. Needless to say, James Cameron made sure to correct that in this re-release, so if you happen to be one of those people that complained about the stars' position in said scene, then it should please you to know that James Cameron had that problem fixed.
Of course, it's because of James Cameron's exceptional attention to detail that makes him arguably one of the greatest film makers of all time. Unlike most directors, he knows exactly how much special effects to use to enhance a movie, while careful never to go overboard with them like others would (i.e. George Lucas with his "Star Wars" prequels).
Unfortunately, he's always been a bit over rated as a screenwriter if we're really going to analyze this film honestly. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that he's a horrible screen writer, as he certainly knows how to develop many of his characters well; particularly women in general. Not to sound sexist saying that, but I'm merely stating an observation. Many of Cameron's films, that he's written screenplays for, have always followed a very simplistic character driven story arc, but they'd often resonate a lot of deeply complex universal themes, to add dramatic weight to it.
And, I will admit that "Titanic" does carry a lot complex universal themes to it as well like sexism, forbidden love, hypocrisy within the social hierarchy of the time period, and many other things. However, I can't ignore the flaws about the script. For starters, it's extremely predictable as sin. I know some readers will say that's a bit extreme to say, but that's just the truth. Unless you've never seen a movie in your life, "Titanic" is arguably the most predictable love story of all time.
(Warning: Spoiler Alert in this paragraph if you've never seen the movie) First of all, we know it's a tragic love story going into it; which would imply that one or both lovers die during this movie. And since it's told via flashback through Rose's perspective, then you know pretty much that it's Jack Dawson (Leonardo DiCaprio) who's going to die. And given the horrendous tragedy of Titanic itself, any movie buff would know, after watching the first ten minutes of the film, that Jack will die during the Titanic sinking. Hell, the only way Cameron could have made this movie unpredictable is if he decided to make it to where Rose dies instead, and Jack gets a sex change after fathering up some kids. Then after his sex change operation, he'd change his name to Rose, to honor his lost love on Titanic. However, since this is James Cameron we're talking about here, I doubt seriously he'd do something like that.
Plus, if you've seen as many love stories as I have, then you can already tell exactly when Rose and Jack will fall in love. You already know that, at some point, they'll probably have sex. You know that a lot of people are going to try to keep them apart because of their social class differences. You know that Rose's mom will OBVIOUSLY hate Jack Dawson's guts. And, you know that Rose's fiance will turn out to be a spoiled rich douche bag, for no other reason than to be a douche bag. After all, if they had made Rose's fiance turn out to be a nice guy, then it would've made her look bad in front of mainstream audiences. Therefore, he has to be portrayed as a douche bag, in order to justify her forbidden relationship with Jack Dawson, a poor third class passenger on Titanic. Seriously, this movie is nothing if not insanely predictable as hell. In fact, I remember seeing this movie originally when I was seventeen years old, and I already knew exactly what was going to happen about ten minutes going into the film itself. Therefore, "Titanic" is NOT the greatest love story of all time.
Of course, this leads me to have something of a love/hate relationship with this movie. As I mentioned earlier, I did like "Titanic" a lot, and I still do after seeing it again in 3-D. It offers many great memorable cinematic moments to make it a timeless classic. But on the other hand, it's also a very predictable, and extremely cliched ridden, tragic love story as well; which only makes you hate the movie more whenever you hear people call it the greatest love story of all time, when it's not even close.
Don't get me wrong, I love the movie, and I would highly recommend it to anyone that loves romantic stories. However, it's not the best love story ever told; regardless of what other critics might say. As for seeing it in 3-D, I honestly wouldn't bother because it's barely noticeable if at all. Sure, there's a few scenes that are impressive at the beginning, when the film explores the sunken wreckage of the ship itself. However, after that part, the 3-D is fairly lousy at best. Therefore, if you already own a copy of this movie on DVD/Blue Ray, then I'd probably just stick to that version; unless you're one of those people that complained about the positioning of the freaking stars during the climatic scene.
Overall, I would still have to give this movie a three out of four. It's still holds up fairly well over time, and it's definitely a timeless classic in cinematic history. Unfortunately, the movie is also very cliched ridden and predictable, but it's still entertaining to watch nonetheless.
Excellent hub! Well written and well explained point of view. I agree with most of what you say in regards to predictability and cliches - but this is one movie where the cliches work in my opinion. For me not every movie needs to be original in its story telling. Predictability is on with me as long as it is done well and in an interesting way - which I believe Cameron succeeds in with Titanic. I am looking forward to seeing it in 3D.
I liked this film but I don't expect I'll go to the theater again just to see it in 3D, especially since I don't like 3D. It's on TV often enough, anyway.
I remember thinking this movie wouldn't do that well at the box office. I figured that no one wanted to see a 3-plus hour period drama where everyone knows the ending. Well, obviously, a lot of people did, especially teen girls and young women who got sucked in by the whole romance angle.
Very well said, I didn't mean to call you sexist, I was just confused about that part. You explained this all well and thank you.
Yes you are entitled to your own opinion and I can see now more clearly what you mean. You have very good points.
Thanks for clearing that up for me!
Oh and about billy zane's character, he def was a jerk, so now that I know who you are talking about, since I had no idea who billy zane was, I agree with you.
Shows how little I care about all the actors' names except for the main two which I know, who did a fine job as you said- Kate Winslet and Leonardio DiCaprio. (I'm sure it wasn't leo's best film either) but it was def a good role for him.
Wow, this conversation turned out quite nicely. I do love the Titanic score as well. Did James Cameron write the words as well? I know he wrote the tune.
I loved the movie. Your detail and facts are interesting. I liked the real life videos. I can't think of anyone who hasn't seen this movie. But you did teach me a few things.
On the other hand, I found this review horrific. Your opinion comes across as cynical and jaded. And the use of the word "doucebag" seems very uncalled for.
You say "Of course, it's because of James Cameron's exceptional attention to detail that makes him arguably one of the greatest film makers of all time. Unlike most directors, he knows exactly how much special effects to use to enhance a movie, while careful never to go overboard with them like others would (i.e. George Lucas with his "Star Wars" prequels).
---------then you say: (make up your mind is he good or not??--------

---------you say---------Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that he's a horrible screen writer,---------a horrible screen writer? what a choice of words!---- as he certainly knows how to develop many of his characters well; particularly women in general. --------not to sound sexist??-------Not to sound sexist saying that, but I'm merely stating an observation.

I don't know, I don't read a lot of movie reviews but you certainly put a damper on things here.
Good hub. But a bad movie.
Attention to detail and the effects are remarkable and should be applauded, the actual sinking of the Titanic is really well handled. But the script is horrendous, the characters are paper thin and no cliche is left un-turned. Cameron is no screenwriter.
Awesome movie, good hub. Thanks, Steven.
Hi! Awesome hub. Good movie review. Angie

It's time for more Dreeeam Hiiiigh! Sorry. Theme song is stuck in my head.
Principal Jung is making the unpopular decision to bring three "special admission" students to the super exclusive Kirin High School of the Arts: Hyemi, a classical singer with the attitude of curdled milk, Jinguk, a skilled dancer with a troubled past, and Samdong, a talented boy who....well. This is Samdong.
In his introductory shots, Samdong is inexplicably covered in dirt, but I think we're supposed to still see his pure, perfect essence lurking just beneath the surface. He is going to be our special snowflake and we are intended to gather together and love him. Group hug, everyone! Poor Samdong has the face of an angel, and a voice caught somewhere between puberty and strep throat. But Hyemi must bring this guy back to Kirin with her, so she has to follow him to his home in the country by hiding in the back of Samdong's vegetable-cart tractor-wagon contraption. Oh my wow.
Thanks to Hyemi's discomfort, I'm having several moments of genuine laughter (unlike in Dream High 2, where the jokes resulted in a faint smile, maybe). Back at Seoul, we see more of Jinguk's awful situation with his rich, selfish father who wants him out of sight, out of mind, and overseas. Hyemi hates Jinguk and they have a few, ahem, awkward encounters, but they smooth things out over time and form the beginnings of a good friendship.
Hyemi finally arrives at Kirin in full battle mode, only to meet her ex-bestfriend. I love how Baekhee tries to hug it out with Hyemi, longing to mend the rift between them. But Hyemi's still got a mean streak, and she misguidedly tries to salvage her pride in front of the only person she doesn't have to show off for--her loyal Baekhee. Oh, girls, you break my heart.
And now mousy Baekhee is becoming the bad one, sabotaging others to rise to the top. She drives this point home by singing "Bad Girl, Good Girl" by Miss A (Suzy's band!) at a commencement ceremony. I'm not really rooting for Baekhee anymore because she didn't claw her way to the top through talent and hard work--she cheated, which Hyemi hasn't done yet.
Meanwhile, Samdong is trying to make his way at Kirin, too. He hops up onstage and challenges Jason, the local top dog, for his spot. It's revealed that our boy Samdong can sing after all, but at the end of the song, Jason's still clearly the top dog. When Samdong feels bad after his loss in the sing-off, Hyemi goes after him, even though by now she has no ulterior motives for taking care of him. Hyemi's learning to be kind! She also weirdly stacks umbrellas to keep the snow off of Jinguk's motorcycle when she learns that he once protected her from gangsters. Awww. She's doing nice things for two different boys, and each boy understands a certain side of Hyemi. They both want to help her--Jinguk wants to make her stronger and Samdong wants to comfort her, so now I barely know which side of this triangle to ship. Jin-Mi or Sam-Mi?
At the end of episode 4, Hyemi makes an open challenge--if she scores higher than Baekhee on the music midterm, everyone will apologize to Hyemi and stop bullying her and the other guys in the special-admittance class. Booyah! I love a challenge! And it feels like this one counts for something, unlike in Dream High 2, where I never cared who won what or challenged whom or qualified for which event.
Things I Loved:
1. Samdong. I was all prepared to hate his character, because I tend to shun the characters who are written as Mary-Sue "everyone must love me" types, and I knew he was going to be one of these. But his actor, Kim Soohyun, does a great job of making Samdong someone you want to protect. He's an innocent, and you really hope nothing happens to change him. The world is a place of wonder for Samdong, still.
2. Side Characters. It's just a tiny part of the show, but I like Pilsook (played by IU) and her gradual growth. She loves a Korean-American guy named Jason (played by Wooyoung of 2PM, whose English is still holding up okay, but could be better), and though he's very kind to her, I can tell she's not going to get him until she loses her extra weight. I do kinda wish we could let the chubby girl get the smooth operator guy just once in a K-drama. I don't know much about Pilsook, but she's a sweetie who I'll be rooting for.
3. Jinguk. I'm connecting with his character more by episode 4. I didn't find myself rooting for him in the first three episodes because he was just not compelling enough (despite his homelessness, neglectful papa, dancing skills, and general anguish). It's very nice and charming when he's around Hyemi, but I'm pretty sure that Hyemi ends up with Samdong in this show, so I don't want to get too attached to Jinguk's connection with Hyemi if I'm setting myself up for disappointment.
1. Impracticality. So if Principal Jung really wants Samdong at the school, why does he tell teacher Oh-hyuk to find him, which in turn leads to Hyemi having to go and find him? Shouldn't Principal Dude just make a phone call or something? Because if he's relying on his underlings to get this one student to school, our special snowflake might very well have remained in the boondocks.
2. Bathroom Humor. It's funny to a certain point, but they really carry on for a long time with the Hyemi's-gotta-go gag. And then she starts singing a soulful Mandy Moore song while inside the toilet, which impresses Samdong, and snow begins to fall like it's some kind of romantic moment.
3. School Politics. I couldn't have been less interested in the power struggle between Principal Jung and his assistant over the special students. But I guess we have to have subplots, don't we?
Humbling the Mighty: I love my girl Hyemi, but even I know that someone this snooty has got to be humbled a bit before they become a decent human being. Bringing Samdong to Kirin is her ultimate humbling experience. Hyemi has never put on her sweet face for anyone ever, so it's a good change for her, but she turns up the charm so strong that Samdong, precious dork that he is, has to turn away from her while giggling. (Way to stay cool, player!) But he resists her requests and for once, Hyemi has to really work for something.
Mirrored scenes: I'm a weird viewer who is seeing these mirrored scenes in the reverse order, but when Jinguk put Hyemi's shoe back on, I remembered Yujin doing the same for Hyesung in Dream High 2. Then when Jinguk told Hyemi that she looks ugly when she cries, I knew I'd heard the line before between JB and Hyesung. But it's funny that I'm seeing the comparison in just the opposite way that the average person does.
Ondol heating: Because heating in Korea comes through the floor, not the air vents, Samdong has to go and turn the heat on in guest room for Hyemi. They make a pallet on the floor for her, so she'll stay warm.
New words: "Kurom" is "of course!" "Jincha" is "really?" "Manaseo" is used in a sense to mean "did you meet---(so-and-so)?" "Chonyeo" means "Not at all" "Saengak-haeba" seems to mean "think about it". "Kopayo" is "hungry". "Hwajangshil" is "bathroom," which Hyemi asks for at Samdong's house, only to discover that it's outside! "Shireo" is "I don't wanna".
Start watching Dream High on DramaFever.
Episode Evaluations: Mmm, this show is getting fun! Lots of conflict, and I just love our resident tough girl, Hyemi. She can be cruel with her words, but she's no cheat. And Pilsook and Baekhee are nice supporting characters. And Samdong is so kind and endearing. And Jinguk is so nice to look at. We have the makings of a solid show, here!

An excellent choice.
Spike Lee is of course, very much alive.

The scholar Robert Alter, in his notes from The Book of Psalms: A Translation with Commentary, writes on his English-rendering of the Hebrew verse, "This upbeat vision of life has, of course, been manifested in the recent experience of the speaker." Further, it precedes a thanksgiving for having been rescued from death.
On November 4, within hours after the epoch-making rescue of America from its death and dying, I heard the speaker-psalmist's Hebrew voice.
The death? Of historic fears, of democracy run aground, of cynicism.
The rescue? The tectonic-like shift from nearly three hundred years of poisonous racism on the body politic to reason, plans, strategies, and passion for hope and change for all Americans.
. . . the dream of our Founders is alive in our time . . .
. . . lines that stretched around schools and churches in numbers this nation has never seen, . . . [of] people who waited three hours and four hours, many for the first time in their lives, because they believed that this time must be different, that their voices could be that difference.
. . . [wisdom] spoken by young and old, rich and poor, Democrat and Republican, black, white, Hispanic, Asian, Native American, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled Americans who sent a message to the world that we have never been just a collection of individuals or a collection of red states and blue states; we are and always will be the United States of America.
. . . It's been a long time coming, but tonight, because of what we did on this day, in this election, at this defining moment, change has come to America.
— From a transcript of Senator Barack Obama's victory speech in Chicago, November 5, 2008
My tears of joy, sobs of gratitude are for the greatness which is the human spirit, for our country, and for the trust we have put in Barack Hussein (a name that does not mean a terrorist or an assassin) Obama. Our president-elect, an American just like the rest of us — a mortal, not a deity, not a rock star, as someone viciously described him (really, revealed his own cynicism and envy) in his email among the genuine congratulations Skyped, called, and emailed to me from abroad.
בָּעֶרֶב, יָלִין בֶּכִי; וְלַבֹּקֶר רִנָּה | At evening, one beds down weeping, / and in the morning, glad song.

|Ginger Libation, a Panama hat, and an iron
bottle opener from BMW Ironworks.
I was intrigued by the list of ingredients: pineapple juice, lemon juice, lime juice, ginger, cane sugar. Hey, these are all easy to find in Panama. Why not give it a shot?
First, I needed a little more information. Green River's Ginger Libation is made with entirely organic ingredients. But how does it ferment? Does it use yeast, like beer? Or does it spontaneously ferment from airborne yeasts and bacteria?
After doing some research, I found that authentic ginger beers are made with something not so easy to find: GBP, or Ginger Beer Plant. Not actually a plant at all, GBP is a mix of specific strains of yeast and bacteria used to ferment ginger beers.
I decided not to get too hung up on the GBP and opted to use Safale-04 brewers yeast instead. No reason it shouldn't work, right? Besides, it was what I had on hand.
Here is the recipe I settled on for a small test batch (You can also include pineapple juice for some tropical flavor. Use 100% juice, no preservatives):
- 2L water
- 430g Panamanian (local!) cane sugar
- 1/2 tsp cream of tartar
- Juice from 1 lemon
- 2 oz. ginger root
- 1/2 sachet of Safale-04 Dry Ale Yeast
2. Add juice from one Panamanian limón and cream of tartar
3. Briefly scald ginger in boiling water to clean and sanitize
4. Coarsely chop ginger and put into a small straining bag and add to carboy
5. Add all other ingredients to carboy, allow to cool to less that 90 degrees, shake it up, add yeast
Two weeks later, bottle it like you would a regular homebrew, and you get a boozy, spicy ginger beer!
I found it combined nicely with Panama Homebrew #1 to make a Double Homebrewed Beer Cocktail (AKA a Dark n Stormy):
- 1 part dark, local rum (in this case, Ron Abuelo, de Panamá)
- 2 parts homebrewed Pale Ale (preferably pale and bitter; Sierra Nevada will work)
- 2 parts homebrewed ginger beer (spicy and just a little sweet)
- a squeeze of lime
- serve over ice
Got a ginger beer or beer cocktail recipe of your own? Share it in the comments!

So it's Monday morning and I'm not even close to finishing my project that is due tonight at 12. Yikes. I don't know why I do this. I need to change. I want to be that student that is always working ahead and all their focus in life is on getting amazing grades in school and finishing honors. I think it's time to "work batch" and get my shit together for my next batch of classes. Just saying. I spend too much time doing unimportant things instead of doing what matters. So it starts....now.

CLACI Fosters High-Level Discourse
International experts in the panel discussion "Mexico's Security Crisis."
Miami Dade College's Center for Latin American and Caribbean Initiatives (CLACI) remains steadfast in its mission to strengthen intellectual, cultural, political and socioeconomic ties to the Americas.
In collaboration with the University of Miami's Center for Latin American Studies (CLAS), CLACI recently presented "Mexico's Security Crisis," an engaging and timely lecture and panel discussion on the violent drug wars currently raging south of the border.
Internationally renowned Mexican security expert and El Colegio de Veracruz Director Jesús Alberto López González led a panel comprised of CLAS Director Ariel Armony, MDC Wolfson Campus Social Sciences Department Chair Dr. Víctor Vázquez Hernández, and UM Chair of International Studies Bruce M. Bagley. Moderated by CLACI Director Carlos Barrezueta, the panel reviewed the monetary, political and diplomatic costs of the Mexican security crisis as well as its effects on the U.S.-Mexico border.
"Social scientists refer to borders as borderlands because they really comprise a region rather than a dividing line," said Vázquez Hernández. "Going after the drug trade in an area that has operated in a certain way for hundreds of years is much more complex than most might imagine."
Speakers compared Mexico's current approach to the war on drugs and that employed by Colombia in the 1990s. They also addressed its influence on U.S. drug policy.
"Discussions such as these provide a vital service to the community by opening a dialogue around subjects that don't always get the kind of attention they should," said Vázquez Hernández.

I thought I would share some of the highlights of our recent Vegas trip!!!
Las Vegas Blvd. also referred to as The Strip.
New York New York was fabulous!!! I love that GI-Normous wreath!!! One advantage of going to Vegas during Christmas time is that everything is decorated to the max!!! We ate at The Burger Bar here and I would say it was the best food we had in Vegas. I really wanted to eat at some swanky place, but it just didn't happen. Everything we ate was so so and over priced, but The Burger Bar in New York New York was pretty tasty!!!
Moving along....Hoover Dam!!!
If you have been to Vegas and not made it to Hoover Dam you have missed out. We rented a car and drove out to it for the afternoon. This place is phenomenal!!! You must go and take the Dam tour! I can't believe the massive-ness of this place and to think of all the labor that went into it all the years ago when technology was not what it is today. I was in awe of it!!! Our Dam tour guide told us there is enough cement in it to make a 4 foot wide sidewalk around the Earth's equator!!! An amazing piece of American history folks!!!
Moving along to The Bellagio...
The floral display is quite a site. You can smell the fresh cut flowers as soon as you walk in. Each display is made out of mainly flowers....millions of them!!!! I love this huge rocking horse and you can catch a glimpse of the train they had set up making its way around the horse.
The Bellagio offers a water/light show every 30 minutes. I recommend going at night because it is beautiful and the view of Paris is too!!!
We had to take in Cowboy Christmas while we were there.
Cowboy Christmas has everything you need for life on the ranch. I loved this vendor who had floral displays made from antlers, ropes, boots, or anything along those lines.
AND the reason we went to Vegas.....
The National Finals Rodeo!!! I have wanted to go for sooooo long, and now I have finally been!!! We went to 2 rounds and watched the best of the best compete. We even got to see Charlie Daniels perform one night!!!! My 5 year old son has it in his head he wants to ride bulls so he was excited that I video'd some of the bullriders!!! We hope to take the kids our to the NFR someday, but I want them to be a little older before dragging them to Vegas....ummm yeah, it's Vegas remember. Ha!
We made it down to Fremont Street and got to see several impersonators. That was fun!!! The light show was awesome as well. There were a couple of spray paint artist that we watched create some awesome pieces in a matter of minutes!
The guys went off to do their thing {dune buggies in the dessert} so the girls and I headed down the strip and ended up at The Venetian!!!
The place is stunning and quite a work of art! We at lunch at a little place along the water. I will tell you they have the best Mojitos ever!!!!!!!
And while the men were doing there thing we did a little shopping!
Nope, I didn't snag a Louis Vuitton handbag, but I enjoyed looking. There was a $330,00 watch in its own special case and guess what....they wouldn't let me take a picture of it...grrrr. They did inform us they had a watch that was ONLY $130,000!!! Umm, no thanks.....I don't even wear a watch. This is the largest Louis Vuitton store in the United States BTW.
Tiffany & Co. was up my alley and guess what....that there sack has a lovely gift wrapped Tiffany box in it for ME!!! I bought it for myself and told them to do it up right and I will open it on Christmas!!!! This is how I justified it (because I had to or I wouldn't buy it)....the guys went to ride those dune buggies which wasn't cheap.....and Tiffany & Co. isn't cheap..... Do you know that they have handbags too!!!! What girls doesn't love Tiffany & Co.?!?!?
So there is a glimpse of our Vegas trip! This was the first trip/vacation the hubs and I have taken since we have been married!!! Okay, so it was the second....we went to Estes Park with the kids last year. I think we need to take more trips!!!!!!!!!!

if there is a preserving book we want it. Like our profound love of French cookbooks, we also covet every preserving book. By now, if you can cook it syrup or douse it in a brine, we have stuffed into canning jars. While most canning books are fine, fun, and full of info, few are comprehensive guides to putting up food. Saving the Season by Kevin West is that comprehensive book.
West grew up in the South and watched his grandmother make jam. Living in California for years, West, was a writer and pretty fine cook. On day he impulsively bought a flat of strawberries and realized that he and his friends could never use them all before they rotted. Holding those strawberries pulled him back to his past, like a powerful sense memory. When he thought of all those years he watched his grandmother make jam, he came to the stark realization that he never really knew how she made the jam. Trying to recreate that flavor, he found recipe after recipe of strawberries covered in sugar, pectin, and boiled. West's reporter side kicked in.
He started studying and cooking and cooking and finally blogging. His blog, Saving the Season turned into an opus of the same name. Yes, Saving the Season will explain how to make jam, jelly and pickles, but it does much more. You will also find:
Lovely photographs
Recipes for using your canning products
Master canners
Food writers
Fiction writers
Road trips
An extensive bibliography
An appendix of fruit varieties
An appendix of peak fruit by months
If you have never touched a Ball jar, there is something in this book for you. Ever walked into the kitchen after your friends offer to make margaritias. The drinks were great but there is a huge pile of squeezed lime halves. (you know some of them were not squeezed that well as the drinks went on, so there is a lime juice pooling up.) This is a great recipe to make use of those limes. you don't have to make it right now. Stuff the lime carcasses in a Ziploc bag and wait till the buzz is over.
Limeade Syrup
1/2 pound of lime rinds
2 1/2 cups of water
3 cups sugar
10 coriander seeds
2 cloves
2 allspice berries
Two 1/4-inch slices fresh ginger root
Optional: 1 Kaffir lime leaf and 2 inches lemongrass stalk, crushed
Combine all the ingredients in a saucepan, and simmer for 30 minutes. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve. Store in a sealed bottle in the refrigerator for up to 6 months
We were thrilled to see that Saving the Season was one of Amazon's Best Cookbooks of 2013. It was clearly one of ours.

Hexipuff Monday Madness - Week 6
6 x 4 = 24. That's how many hexipuffs I have now. I haven't gotten much done this week because I have been sewing. I will update you on that soon. Here are my hexipuffs.

Hexagon Madness Monday- Week 5
The grand total is 22.99. I just have to close up the one on the right. I am still loving this project. It's perfect quick easy knitting. My hexipuffs haven't traveled with me this week, but they have managed to see Winterfell as we watched a Game of Thrones episode. What can I say? They like old fashioned drama.

Hexipuff Madness Monday - Week 4
The grand total is 16! This week my hexipuffs met my friend Gimmesanity, her husband J., and my new friend Yarnmonster. I'm sure J thought I was crazy when I told him I had to make 1,000 of them to fit my bed. We all had a wonderful dinner at Alma in Dumbo, overlooking the water. Dinner was so much fun, I was only able to finish 1 Hexipuff. I also introduced them to La Casita. The cappuccinos were just divine.

Hexipuff Madness Monday - Week 3
I completed 4 more hexipuffs, which brings my total up to 10. I decided to try out my second color, Knitpicks Stroll Tonal in Deep Waters. I love the way it complements the pink. This is a great pair. While knitting these, I watched Spartacus and Game of Thrones. I love this easy knitting. I also have 2 more puffs on the needles.

Ülemiste traffic junctionTallinn
In the Estonian context, the Ülemiste junction is a large-scale and complex infrastructure – the most massive intersection solution, preparing the ground for the Ülemiste district developing into the most important transport hub in Tallinn and Estonia. Structurally, the most challenging part of the junction was a 680 metre road tunnel which runs underground for 320 metres. To construct the tunnel, works were constantly carried out in a zone with a high level of surface water, the lowest point being 16 metres below the surface of Ülemiste Lake. Another important structure included in the Ülemiste junction is a 150 metre overpass. The overpass is built on boxed girders with varying heights, made of reinforced and post-tensioned concrete.
The reconstruction of the Ülemiste traffic junction won the grand prize Concrete Building of the Year 2013 awarded by the Estonian Concrete Association. Merko Ehitus Eesti project director Tiit Joosti also won the Builder of the Year title for 2013.

CITY HALL — The City Council on Tuesday moved to extend the current ban on marijuana dispensaries in Glendale.
With little discussion, the City Council introduced an ordinance that would extend the current moratorium on the pot dispensaries for up to an additional year. The extension is expected to receive final approval next week.
Medical marijuana dispensaries are prohibited under the city's current zoning codes, but the City Council approved the moratorium last year as city attorneys analyzed a complicated legal landscape.
