Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park
All Ages
Go absolutely ape over gibbons—they're the acrobatic aces of the rainforest!
These playful primates call the treetops home but you don't have to trek into the forest to find them.
Disney's Animal Kingdom Park
Spot 2 distinctive species of gibbons, siamangs and white-cheeked, at Disney's Animal Kingdom park near the entrances to Kali River Rapids and Maharajah Jungle Trek. You may notice some of the white-cheeked gibbons for their white fur on their cheeks and the siamangs for their large size—they can be twice the size of other gibbons.
Gibbons in the Wild
Gibbons live in the warm climates of the southeastern Asian rainforest. Siamangs call Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia home. White-cheeked gibbons are generally found in Vietnam and Laos.
Threats to Gibbons
The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) lists siamangs as "endangered" and white-cheeked gibbons as "critically endangered." Gibbon populations have suffered from habitat loss, hunting and the illegal wildlife trade.
Disney Conservation Efforts
The Walt Disney Company is passionately committed to the conservation of gibbons, their primate relatives across the globe and the rainforest habitats they rely on. Find out what Disney is doing for gibbons and how you can help, too!"
"Disney's Animal Kingdom creates an incredible experience where you're really engaging with animals and conservation. You walk away feeling a special connection with animals and nature." – Djuan Rivers, VP Disney's Animal Kingdom park
Discover why gibbons are facing many threats in the wild and how Disney is helping.
Lumber and Lodgings
Increased logging has encouraged road development which has led to the destruction of forest homes for gibbons and fragmented their population.
Primates Don't Make Good Pets
Siamangs are sought after as pets in many Asian countries, making them the most traded species of gibbon in the illegal wildlife trade. They sell them even though primates do not make good pets. Primates can live a long time, spread disease to humans and require specialized care. When primates are kept as pets, their natural social structure is not maintained and they can develop abnormal behaviors that may result in the animal becoming aggressive towards people.
Hunted for Bones
In some Asian countries, gibbons are hunted by humans who sell their body parts for use in traditional medicine. The bones from gibbons have been used to make a cream that is believed to cure arthritis and accelerate recovery.
Disney Is Helping Gibbons in the Wild
Since 1995, the Disney Conservation Fund (DCF) has directed more than $70 million to save wildlife and protect the planet, inspiring millions of people to take action for nature in their communities. Support from the DCF has helped nonprofit organizations in southeast Asia lead cutting-edge research and sustainable development planning for rural communities. The fund also enables innovative education programs that empower communities to protect gibbons and other apes facing similar threats.
In addition, The Walt Disney Company established a paper sourcing and use policy across all of its entities, including theme parks and publishing. This policy aims to minimize paper consumption and eliminate paper that is irresponsibly sourced from areas of high conservation value.
Disney's animal care experts provide gibbons with the perfect place to explore, play and raise a family.
A Swingin' Good Time
A crisscrossed network of bamboo beams, ropes, ladders, towers and live trees provides our gibbons with endless opportunities to climb, swing and stay active in their specially designed forest dwelling.
A Fruity Feast
Gibbons spend the day foraging for the perfect mix of leaves, fruits, vegetables and flowers. The gibbons at Disney's Animal Kingdom park are provided with a colorful combination of fresh fruits, veggies and plant life on a daily basis, allowing them to make a meal out of their favorite foods. What a sweet treat!
Foraging Fun
Our animal care experts may place treats for gibbons in a hanging bucket or a burlap bag to draw out the natural curiosity and put their foraging skills to the test. Who knew foraging could be so much fun?
High-tech Enrichment
To provide mental stimulation to our gibbons, our animal care experts may provide gibbons with a game to play on a tablet computer. The gibbons can match colors, shapes or objects. When the item is matched correctly, the gibbons get a tasty treat.
Discover some fascinating facts about these fascinating primates!
A Voice That Carries
If you imagine that your voice box had a built-in megaphone, you may get a bit of an idea of what it's like to be a gibbon. Gibbons have a throat sac, an inflatable flap of skin on their neck, that they can fill with air to amplify their calls. The ability to be heard from far away makes it easier for gibbons to communicate with their family in the dense forest and helps them mark their territory using sound.
Treetop Trapeze Act
Gibbons can speed through trees with ease. The secret to their acrobatic grace? Gibbons can rotate their arms in a complete circle. By combining this impressive 360-degree arc with a quick, repetitive underhand motion, gibbons can seamlessly propel themselves through branches.
Primate Parenting
Siamangs and white-cheeked gibbons are in close competition when it comes to winning the "parents of the year" award.
Mother white-cheeked gibbons carry their newborn with them for approximately 4 months until the newborn begins to walk and climb on its own. During this period of parental care, the father and older siblings teach the newborn about foraging, playing, grooming and the family hierarchy.
Mother siamangs are similar in that they carry their newborn for several months after birth. The father siamang's role is unparalleled by any other species of gibbon. Father siamangs carry their young for almost their entire second year of life.
A Well-Groomed Family
Social grooming is an important part of a gibbon family's social structure. By picking through each other's fur, family members reinforce their familial relationship, build trust and make conflict resolutions.
Long and Lanky
Gibbons have arms that are noticeably longer than their legs, a trait shared by many apes. When walking on the ground, they extend their arms out by their sides, like a tightrope walker, to prevent them from getting in the way.
Two Thumbs Up
Gibbons have opposable thumbs, making it easy for them to maneuver, carry and grab items with their hands. They also have opposable big toes, giving them the ability to grasp and hold objects with their feet.
Pearly Whites
You may be surprised that gibbons have a large set of canine teeth. Prominent pointed canine teeth tend to be associated with carnivores and gibbons are mainly herbivores. Gibbons use these sharp teeth as a form of defense.
Something to Sleep on
Both siamangs and white-cheeked gibbons have thick, callused pads on their rears. This serves as a cushion to sleep comfortably while sitting upright on rough surfaces.
Gold, Black or Both
When a male or female white-cheeked gibbon is born, its fur is a golden color just like its mother's fur, which helps the juvenile blend in while being carried by its mother. As the newborn ages, its gold fur will grow in darker until it is completely black like its father's fur. If the white-cheeked gibbon is male, he will remain black with fuzzy white cheeks for the rest of his life. If it is a female, her fur will turn gold again once she reaches maturity, around 5 to 7 years of age.
A Love Song
Everybody enjoys a good love song, even gibbons! Gibbons are monogamous, meaning they mate for life. When a gibbon finds the perfect partner, the pair will create a "duet" of calls and whooping sounds that is unique to them.
What can one person or family do to protect gibbons and their habitats? A lot more than you think!
Use Paper Responsibly
Buying recycled paper products like notepads, paper towels and toilet paper helps reduce paper consumption and helps to protect the forest homes of many animals.
Eat, Drink and Protect Nature
Look for chocolate and coffee that are grown using rainforest-friendly processes the next time you go grocery shopping. There are even apps for mobile devices that can help you make more knowledgeable decisions while shopping for everything from cookies to pet food.
Bamboo for You
The clearing of hardwood forests continues to threaten gibbon habitats. So, look for products made of responsibly grown bamboo the next time you're furnishing your home. Bamboo is a sustainable, sturdy and multipurpose alternative to popular hardwoods. However, since bamboo is a hardy, fast-growing plant, it can quickly out compete other native species when not properly managed.

SOMEWHERE DEEP in the vaults of the new Hepworth Gallery by the river in Wakefield, in the reserve collections, there's one of my paintings; a 6ft 6 x 4ft acrylic on canvas of Waterton's World, along with a sketchbook of the working drawings that I made for it. These were of South American birds collected by the naturalist Charles Waterton between 1812 and 1824. The sketchbook is handmade; a large-format section-sewn hardback filled with Saunders hot-pressed paper. It proved too cumbersome for everyday use and I only ever filled a quarter of the pages. I must pop in to the Hepworth and draw something special in it some day!
My painting has yet to make it into the public galleries but this cuddly bear and the bear tile, the work of our talented neighbour Alice, aged 6, have been exhibited at the Hepworth as part of a show of work by local children. An artist came into her school to work with them.
Alice tells us that her favourite modelling clay creation is this cheerful hedghog (right) but she explains that as it was made more recently it wasn't included in the show.
Finding a battered butterfly in the garden, she used her watercolours for this large painting which she kindly presented to us.

Ducks, Predators exchange verbal jabs off the iceNHL.com @NHLdotcom
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Anaheim's general manager accuses the Predators of diving to draw penalties, and Ducks coach Randy Carlyle says check the video.
Nashville coach Barry Trotz dismisses the accusations from a team that racked up hundreds of penalty minutes, noting his Predators are among the NHL's least penalized.
The Western Conference series is getting as hot off the ice as on.
General manager Bill Murray told the Orange County Register on Monday his Ducks would have to start diving like the Predators to draw penalties. Carlyle said Tuesday that "video doesn't lie" when asked if he agrees with his boss.
Trotz says such talk is disrespectful to NHL players.
The Predators lead 2-1 with Game 4 on Wednesday in Nashville.

The modeling paste is super fun and easy to use. You simply use the tools to spread it on over the stencil. Carefully remove, wipe off the stencil and let the paste dry. It leaves that really special effect!
Here is my page.
I used the Save the Date Collection for my papers and embellishments. I added the textured film strip at the top of the page using the modeling paste. Look at how the texture is when it is done.
I also used the modeling paste to create a part of my title, Family Opposites. I used the stencil again to create the word family on a white piece of cardstock. When it was still wet and with the stencil still in place, I sprinkled pink flock powder over the top. I shook off the excess and removed the stencil. Then I cut around the letters. Again, it is a one-of-a-kind element.
With recent trends in scrapbooking focusing on being artsy and free, the modeling paste is the perfect element!

Hope is the only thing keeping us going
Although I would think of myself as a strong independent woman, in reality, I am not. The amount of times that I have thought of just giving up is actually ridiculous. When life becomes hard or if I encounter any little obstacle I just think of giving up. But keep that in mind, I only 'think' of giving up but I never do.
What keeps me going then?
It's the idea of hope. I am not religious in any way; however, I do believe that there is a superior being that guides us in our everyday lives. We'll at least I hope there is. The only thing that keeps me going everyday is this idea of hope. The hope that life will get better, the hope that 'God' has plans for me and that everything I'm doing now is because I'm supposed to. I mean, doesn't it just make you feel so much better and more at ease knowing and 'hoping' that everything at the end of the day will be just fine. Whenever I think that life is going downhill, I always have this little hope inside of me thinking and believing that everything is only going to be better. So I encourage you all to hope a little more and to give up a little less because life is definitely not easy, but it's the things you hope for that makes it worth it.

Hand washing or sanitising - which is best?25th of November 2011
Hand sanitisers are becoming increasingly widely used as the public's fear of becoming ill grows higher with each new health scare. However, a recent study has linked the use of hand sanitisers to an increased risk of Norovirus. So are sanitisers a good substitute for soap and water, or aren't they?
Suddenly, hand sanitisers are being

As the United States of America prepares for the possibility of a female president, there is a lot of buzz in the air about women in power. There are female leaders that hold CEO positions large Fortune 500 companies. There are others that have become the boss at companies that they have started. I like how Malini Saba has refused to wait on anyone. She has been a self starting motivator that has done her best to invest wisely and gain success. Somehow she has even managed to help other women that may have given up on their dreams as Malini has accomplished many dreams of her own.
I would imagine that it feels really good to give away money that you know is going towards a good cause. I would like that people like Malini Saba come along every day, but I don't think that they do. It is rare to find a woman that has been able to give over a million dollars to different charities and natural disaster relief. I know that she must feel a sense of pride and humility at the same time for the giving that she has done.
Malini Saba is the type of woman that knows how to reach out and help others. She has successfully managed to build an organization that is known for helping women that are in need. She is working hard to help these women gain financial freedom, political power and better healthcare as they rise against the challenges that they face.
She isn't known throughout the world, but I do believe that people will get to know her one day because she is such a strong leader. Saba's philanthropy is something that benefits many women. They will not forget who she is and what she has done. There have been a ton of people that have failed to get the proper education or healthcare that they need, but Saba is making this possible for a lot of women. She has been able to build a resume that speaks volumes, but more importantly, she has managed to help people that are in need of it most.
I would hope to someday open my own non-profit organization to help women. She has been instrumental in helping me build my confidence, and I would like to thank her organization for giving me some insight when I did not have any.

TOKYO — Masaharu Matsushita, the son-in-law of Panasonic's founder and who helped lead the Japanese electronics company for half a century as it grew into a global brand, has died. He was 99.
Matsushita married the daughter of Panasonic Corp. founder Konosuke Matsushita, who had no sons and whom he succeeded as president in 1961.
The company said Tuesday that Masaharu Matsushita died Monday at Matsushita Memorial Hospital in Osaka, central Japan, a facility founded by his father-in-law. Other details were not disclosed for privacy reasons.
Son of a painter, Masaharu Hirata studied law at what later became the University of Tokyo and worked at a major Japanese bank before marrying and joining Panasonic. He adopted his wife's family name, which sometimes happens in Japan.
He served as Panasonic president for 16 years, which coincided with the height of Japan's globalizing expansion.
Although Panasonic no longer carries the founding family name, it started as Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., a tiny outfit that grew over decades from the devastation of World War II to a respected global brand.
In recent years, the maker of Viera TVs and Lumix digital cameras has been battered by plunging gadget prices and intense competition from more innovative and cheaper rivals. It posted its worst loss in company history for the fiscal year ended in March.
The founder's management philosophy, which centered on team work and unpretentious bosses who would personally go around cleaning company bathrooms, is still idolized today by Japanese companies, workers and politicians.
Panasonic Chairman Fumio Ohtsubo said Tuesday that the company must stay true to the founder's vision as it tries to recover, and he recalled that Masaharu Matsushita and he had often discussed the company's roots.
"I honor from the bottom of my heart his achievements in steering our company toward momentous growth," he said.
He is survived by his wife, Sachiko, and son, Panasonic Vice Chairman Masayuki Matsushita, the only member of the founding family still on the board.
Funeral plans were undecided.

When Mitt Romney tries to avoid scrutiny for his exceptionally low effective tax rate by noting that, in absolute terms, he's paying "a lot" in taxes, he won't be fooling most of his political colleagues. It takes a special kind of affluence to reduce one's tax burden so dramatically. And despite their significant wealth most recent Presidential candidates have paid significantly more in taxes as a percentage of their incomes in the year (or two) before their campaign.
The exception is John Kerry. Though Kerry himself had a modest income (for a politician) his wife, Teresa Heinz, comes from great wealth and, like Romney, made millions in investment income in 2003 — the year she and he both released their tax returns. Together, their effective tax rate was a bit lower than Mitt and Ann Romney paid in 2010.Both Kerry and Romney are judged against the tax rates George W. Bush put into effect. Bush himself was paying Clinton-era rates, so even though he sold off the Texas Rangers and made a bunch of investment income before he jumped into national politics, he was only able to drag his effective rate down to 20.5 percent.
The other two didn't make out so well. John McCain and Barack Obama both ended up paying Buffett-rule-esque rates on their 2006 income, despite incomes that put both of them squarely in the top percent of earners.

MAKE UP FOR EVER, the brand loved by consumers and makeup artists the world over, has recently jumped into the matte lippie playing field with the release of the new Artist Liquid Matte Lipstick. The timing couldn't have been more perfect, as the day these came in, I was headed to a special preview presentation of Swan Lake by the Perm Opera Ballet of Russia, and I was in the mood for a lip product that would stay put — without destroying my lips in the process.
Follow @ommorphia YouTube ♦ Instagram ♦ Facebook ♦ Twitter ♦ Pinterest ♦ Bloglovin'
Artist Liquid Matte Lipstick (CAN $25.00/each) | Available in 6 'nude' shades, these look like your standard liquid lippies — slim tube and doe-foot applicator, but the application is quite another story. I swear I could tell that these would be different from others in the genre, just from the way the wand slid out of the tube (i.e.: almost like it was greased up, that's how easily it came out). Relatively unscented, the texture literally glides along the lip contours yet feels incredibly lightweight, and as to pigmentation level: off the charts. Seriously, one swipe covers the lips entirely. They also set/dry down within minutes of application and become almost budge-proof. Key ingredients include:
- Silica & Kaolin Powders, Mineral Clay and Silicone Oil for an opaque matte finish
- Silicone Resin and wax for no-transfear wear
- Beeswax, Avocado Oil and Glycerin for moisture and continuous hydration
As I said at the top, I literally put these to the test the day they arrived. After ensuring my lips were properly prepped (de-flaked, thoroughly moisturized & blotted) I dove in with my chosen shade 105 Rosewood — totally not expecting the full-on opacity it provided from the very first pass, but loving it just the same. Several hours later, and after both drinking & eating, not only was the shade more or less intact (minor wear along the inner rim), but for once my lips did not feel drier than the Sahara Desert. In fact, the wear was … dare I say … comfortable. Blown away.
I'll just say it: thank you MAKE UP FOR EVER for creating a matte lipstick that I can wear in total comfort. Even though I'm more of a gloss girl, I also like to switch things up every now & then and there's something I find so compelling about the light-absorbing effect of a matte lipstick, but the ensuing desiccating feel? Not so much. Which is why I love the Artist Liquid Matte Lipstick: I get to enjoy sporting a matte lip without remorse. Now the brand just needs to get working on adding some more shades to the lineup …

Return I
Years ago Amerloque planted young Normandy heirloom apple trees. He chose the traditional varieties by not only looking at their evocative names, but also according to their harvest periods, so that apples would be ripe and ready for picking throughout the autumn season, well into November. Only apples for eating and cooking (pommes à couteau) were planted – Amerloque is not particularly interested in making cider so there no trees bearing pommes à cidre at the farm. All of these traditional apples have genuine taste and consistency, and are far removed from the insipid fruits available all year long in the supermarkets. How can one not be attracted to apples christened with exotic names such as claque-pépin, court pendu gris, calville rouge coeur de bœuf, benedictin de Jumièges or pigeonnet de Jérusalem ?
Among the first apples harvested this season, at the beginning of September, were the belle fille, the revers, the rambour d'hiver and, of course, the benedictin de Jumièges. Gathering and sorting the apples took up quite a bit of time. The bad apples had to be weeded out and the good ones carefully dried and arranged in a clean wooden crate, so that they could keep for several months. Using these Normandy apples in Sunday lunches and dinners, as well in various prepared Thanksgiving and Christmas dishes, is something that Amerloque looks forward to annually. This year the first applesauces and crumbles were excellent: the unusually wet weather added immense flavor to many of the apples !
Throughout the summer the local farmers in Amerloque's part of the world were tearing their hair out – metaphorically speaking - because of the horrible weather. It was only in the second week of September that grasses in some of the fields could be cut, since there had finally been enough sun over a period of several days to dry them out. One of Amerloque's fields still remained uncut - the neighboring farmer, after doing his own fields, finally found enough time to do Amerloque's last one, too, in early September. Usually this field is cut at the beginning of July, so the delay this year was more than a full two months ! Enfin !
On the surface, the rentrée this year seems to differ little from those of previous years. The media are filled with the usual stories: for example, how much the government's annual back to school subsidy (l'allocation de la rentée) amounts to, how much the cost for various regulated public and private services (such as electricity, gas, and transport) increased over the summer, and how many parents are upset about the closure of one or more local classes due to the failure to reach the minimum number of students. These issues all belong to what the French term la rentrée sociale and la rentrée scolaire. If one is an attentive expat with children, one pays close attention, naturally.
There is also, of course,la rentrée littéraire. The média has already begun speaking of the possible winners of literary prizes (les prix littéraires) later in the fall, the Prix Goncourt and the Prix Renudot allegedly being the most sought after, although there are others, most notably the Femina, the Médicis, the Interallié and the Académie Française. If one follows - or is tangehtially interested in - Parisian intellectual life, the nominations and subsequent jockeying for a prize is the subject of many conversations in café and salon.
Newly elected Président Sarkozy is bound to have an effect on the rentrée this year, since he now has to fulfill his campaign promises, has to fish or cut bait. At least one of his initiatives, the proposition for more independence for the universities, was seriously watered down during the summer Parliamentary sessions. It remains to be seen whether other of his promises receive the same treatment – and which ones, and by whom !
As always, the vendanges have begun, somewhat earlier in many parts of France due to the weather. Though the French wine industry is in crisis, quite a few young people still make a September pilgrimage to the vineyards to pick grapes, especially the university students whose classes don't begin until October. If one has other plans, one can also wait for the vendanges tardives, the late grapepicking season. In any event, the pay is minimum wage, the working conditions tough, and the labor backbreaking: Amerloque went down to the south of France to work in the fields, once, many, many years ago in his youth and can testify from personal experience. Actually, the best times are the mealtimes - at lunch but especially in the evenings, when the winemakers and owners generally feed their vendengeuses and vendangeurs very well. It is definitely the kind of experience to be fondly looked back on when one is older and wiser, in front of a nice roaring fire on a chilly autumn evening, as one sips a glass of a vintage wine that one could never have afforded back then !
The various alarums and excursions on the international financial markets do not seem to have thrown a damper on any French activities, at least not yet. Perhaps it is simply the calm before the storm – or perhaps the media are simply not doing their job, preferring to concentrate on the pipolisation of French society, on affairs of pedophilia and/or child abandonment, on dogs running amok, and on other issues of lesser but spectacular, paper-selling, audience-building importance. France is changing: the increasing dumbing down of the country seems more obvious at this rentrée.
Is it because of newly-elected President Sarkozy and his ministers, one of whom asserted back in July that "the French think too much" ?
Or is it, perhaps, simply that Amerloque has aged another year, and that his cynicism quotient has increased markedly ?

As part of his 2009 legislative agenda, Gov. Ted Kulongoski, D-Ore., has announced a series of climate change legislation to be considered in the 2009 legislative session. The governor presented his agenda at the Center for Health and Healing at Oregon Health and Science University, highlighting green buildings and electric cars as two fundamental components to the climate agenda.
'We have made great progress in the fight against climate change over the last five years, but that was just the beginning,' says Kulongoski. 'This next session, we must be bolder, more strategic and even more visionary if we want to reach our greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction goals and truly pull ahead of the pack, leading our country and the globe on green living and green working.'
Kulongoski's climate change agenda for 2009 centers around four key areas: GHG reductions, energy conservation and efficiency, and renewable energy and sustainable transportation. Each area contains concepts that reduce GHG emissions, encourage alternative power and vehicle use, drive innovative energy technology development, provide energy efficiency information to consumers and protect low-income energy users.
The major elements of the governor's climate change agenda include developing net-zero energy-use building codes, expanding the business energy tax credit to new, more efficient vehicles, development of energy performance certificates for homebuyers and a regional cap and trade program to reduce GHG emissions.

CONCACAF General Secretary Chuck Blazer on Sunday refused to discuss the bribery allegations he made against two FIFA executive committee members which triggered another scandal for the world governing body of football.
Blazer instead welcomed fans to the beginning of the Gold Cup during halftime of the opening match between Costa Rica and Cuba.
"I won't be addressing any of the jurisprudence issues," Blazer said.
Blazer has accused FIFA vice president and longtime CONCACAF chief Jack Warner and fellow FIFA executive committee member Mohamed bin Hammam of bribery in connection with last Wednesday's election for FIFA president.
Asian Football Confederation president bin Hammam had been the lone challenger to Sepp Blatter, who was elected unopposed to a fourth term as FIFA president after Warner and bin Hammam were suspended pending a full investigation.
Blazer accused bin Hammam and Warner of offering Caribbean soccer leaders $40,000 each in exchange for votes in the election.
On Saturday, CONCACAF suspended acting president Lisle Austin, who tried to remove Blazer as secretary general in retaliation for his whistleblowing.
While the details of Austin's suspension have not been disclosed, Blazer said that "I won't comment on the politics but the document he (Austin) received is detailed."
Blazer avoided direct answers about the events of the past week, though he did say that he is confident FIFA is making a major effort to do the right thing.
"I expect the image they (fans) get is that people are of different opinion," Blazer said. "We are working hard to do the right thing. Fans are not here to watch the politics they are to watch the football on the field."

Hamburger History
I always thought that, in Germany, the people went about
Eating Hamburgers by the tonne. There wasn't any doubt!
After all, Hamburg's in Germany as everybody knows.
That would be the source of it, wouldn't you suppose?

Alongside is a metre-guage railway track, and the spot offers obvious opportunities to turn into a modern picnic spot with cable cars and walkways.

Let's not forget that we, the ones who're cossetted and warm,
Are not in the majority; we're, sadly, not the norm.
We can't cure all the ills of life, and do we really try?
But it doesn't hurt to pause a while and simply question 'Why?'

This was my first time making my own custard from scratch and they turn out to be very very easy!! The ingredients were minimal too, but yet I was still intimidated in the beginning, by just looking at the preparation steps one needed too make. I guess the bulk of my anxiety was from the fact that I didn't think my cups would stand the oven temperature, but I'm so glad they did!!
Like Grapefruit wrote in her blog on this recipe here, I had read how the TWD bakers had an issue with the egginess of this recipe, but that did not cause me much concern, as I am ok with egg... in fact, as I'm writing this, I recall that the taste of this lemon custard is very similar to the custard on my favourite store-bought egg tarts (which I can now bake myself, yeay!!).

Launching a GoFundMe to finance my purchase of a life sized Harley Quinn... https://t.co/rDZj4wIkrr
Another week, another product placemant! WHOOP! After last weeks non-product placemant challange….it just felt like there was something wrong with the world. Hooray for Sony Playsation stepping in with the challange to do street grafitti on a large wall in Harlem to promote Gran Turismo 4.
Yes, let's drop a majority white crew of business folks with little to no street knowledge into the middle of Harlem and have them go nuts! Yes, they did hire professional street artists, but still…seemed like a stretch to me.
So, all that aside, how did the teams do? Well oddly enough Book Smarts seemed to be on the ball when they decided to ask street kids to give them suggestions for the painting. Good for them. This is who you are trying to reach, you should go to them for advice. I applaud them, which may be a first for Book Smarts. (Although the concept of using Bren as a model for ANY part of the design, though it was only his fist, seemed like it sent the cosmos off it's axis)
So for the first time I have to tear Net Worth a REALLY large new hole! Tara took the lead as project manager. She kept going on and on how she "knew" Harlem so she was a natural for this project and she wanted to give Harlem something that would also add to it. All well and good, but you need to think of two things 1)You should really know the product you are trying to sell and 2)Giving back to the community is all nice and good, but does it get the point of the product across?
Tara only focused on one element of the game since she didn't understand the product. The Gran Turismo series is all about fixing up your cars and racing through different enviroments, not just one. If you don't undertand this principal, than point 2 is already doomed because you won't be able to get point 1 across.
So when it came time for Net Worth to go to the Boardroom (yes, Net Worth lost in case you didn't guess), the team seemed splut on who to blame. Should it be Tara for not understanding the project well enough…Audrey for being annoying and arguing with Craig and for knowing the game, but not sharing the info with Tara? What about John, who also was familiar with the game and did not share the info?
What you do is you split from your original plan of bringing Audrey and John because they "hid" their knowledge of the game, instead you bring Audrey and Craig, because Craig DARED to question you in the boardroom! So what does this show Trump and his cronies? That your personal axes over rides your business decesion making process.
Bye Bye Tara…you weren't impressive.

Microsoft has announced another preview edition of Windows 8 will be released to the general public in June, called Windows 8 Release Preview, which will be closest yet to the final version.
The Redmond giant has already released two preview editions of Windows 8 before this – the Developer Preview was released in September last year, while the Consumer Preview released at the end of February. Interestingly, more than 100,000 changes have been made to Windows 8 since the Developer Preview.
So far, Microsoft has also detailed the SKUs of Windows 8 that will hit the market, Windows 8, Windows 8 Pro, and Windows RT (for ARM), as well as a host of their respective features. The first two, meant for x86 systems, will be available in 32-bit and 64-bit versions.
Windows 8 has been called the "most significant redesign" of the operating system since Windows 95, and a lot of hopes are riding on the platform, a much bigger gamble than just a way into the tablet, and in the future, with Windows Phone 8, phone markets.
The new operating system is due to be released this October-November, and Microsoft's already at work on the Windows Store, a marketplace for both Metro-style apps, and regular Windows software. Our recent poll of our readers " What do you think about Windows 8 Consumer Preview?," showed much interest in the Windows 8 platform, with the majority answering: "It's great, I am excited!"
If you haven't yet tried out Windows 8 in its preview iterations, check out Michael J. Miller's hands on with Windows 8 Consumer Preview on ThinkDigit, here.

(It's way after midnight here but I'm pretending it's still Monday)
To a Canadian, the second Monday in October can only mean one thing - Canadian Thanksgiving. We celebrated today with our usual turkey dinner. A ten pound bird served with apple and sage and cranberry stuffing, bacon-wrapped green beans, maple-glazed carrots and roasted potatoes. Leftovers await.
For dessert I made two pies, one pumpkin, one apple. Can you believe there are some people who don't care for pumpkin pie?
I'm one of those people who LOVES pumpkin pie and I had a little extra pie filling left so I put it in these ramekins and called it pumpkin custard. Guess what's for breakfast tomorrow?
As most of you know, I've been having kind of a rough year, but I also have so much to be thankful for. Here's just a small selection of things that have been on my mind today.
I'm thankful that my health issues turned out to be not quite as serious at they had originally though (more on that in another post, I need to get it out of my system but now is not the time)
I'm thankful for my family who continue to put up with me during this difficult time. What would I do without you?
I'm thankful that my mother is doing so much better on her new medication.
I'm thankful that we got all six cousins/grandchildren together this summer. Who knows when that will happen again.
I'm thankful for a wonderful holiday in Vancouver.
I'm thankful that I got to talk to my youngest brother and my niece and nephew on the phone today for an hour. I wish I could be four again like S. so I could dress up as a unicorn for Hallowe'en.
I'm thankful for the roof over our heads and the food on our table.
I'm thankful for these. Are they cute or what?
I'm thankful for the changing of the seasons and a place to sit and watch the leaves turn colour. So beautiful.
And...I'm thankful for YOU guys who keep on reading even though I've become what some would call a 'sporadic blogger'. Must try to improve, I've still got such an awful lot to say.

Last week I was chatting with my friend and she mentioned that she was going to add my email address to her list of people to be notified when she updated her blog. I was confused for a minute and said that I automatically saw when her blog was updated through my Google Reader and then realized that she was not using a reader. This was pretty unfathomable to me because I read so many blogs that there would be no way to keep up with them without Google Reader (yes, there are other readers, but I'm of course biased towards the one I use). So I pointed her in the right direction and then got to thinking about all the things I love about blog readers. Obviously that they show when someone has updated their blog without you having to actually go to each blog, and that you can view most blogs in one place, but also the feature I am completely addicted to and probably use way too much is being able to star items. I love, love, love starring things I want to make, bake, do, buy, remember, and then being able to scroll through all these favorite blog posts on one page. It totally rocks! So in honor of how much I heart my Google Reader, here are some of my recently starred items (my actual list is 98 items long, there are so many great ideas on blogs!)
The eight dollar dress (I think this would be a great way to make a customized bathing suit coverup) via Not Martha
Cardigans out of sweaters, cool! (thanks Arwen) via Not Martha
Heather Bailey's new fabrics!!!
Reversible headbands
Homemade cinnamon rolls from Angry Chicken (I already bought the bread book because of all her posts about it)
Pink Mojitos on Casapinka
Pies in jars! Oh My! I will be trying these really soon.
Warm and Nutty Cinnamon Quinoa, would love to try quinoa as something sweet
Pop Up Pancakes The girls would love these.
Fabric as wallpaper! And all you need is starch! I could go really crazy with this.
Staircase redo, I happen to have a set I want to rip the runner off of.
Fabric Covered Jar Lids because finding more places to use fabric is essential!
