With all these cookies our kitchen has been seeing recently, I thought I might try to balance things out a little bit by sharing this salad recipe. I know, I know… it's not *quite* as exciting as candy-laden blobs of heaven…but I wouldn't bother to share something as simple as a salad if it weren't one heck of a delicious salad. Lucky for you, this one is! 🙂
I'd also like to share something that comes from another, older corner of my life: gaming. With the move, grad school, and general lifestyle upheavals I haven't gamed much in the past year unless you count the occasional Machinarium replays or Plants vs. Zombies iPhone addiction I had last fall. In the past, though, I used to log hours on Day of Defeat and Counter Strike with my two younger brothers and even my dad. As an ex-marine and sharpshooter, my dad was actually hilarious to play with (think technophobe with military know-how). I've also played WoW on and off since 2007 and have dabbled in other RPGs, but the first-person shooters will always be in my top faves.
Why am I telling you this? Because as a female gamer who prefers "violent" games I've come across my fair share of trolls (to put it nicely)…but nothing like what some gals are putting up with these days. I just listened to an NPR broadcast dedicated to online harassment in games which, in turn, led me to discover the amazing blogs Fat, Ugly, or Slutty and Not in the Kitchen Anymore. I also learned about the sexual harassment of Miranda Pakozdi that was broadcast live in front of a world-wide audience. That's right: broadcast live. For five days. The poor girl finally forfeited the competition just to escape the source of the harassment: her coach.
The silver lining to all this is that it's starting to make the news and not just gamer mags. I mentioned the NPR program, but there has also been a BBC radio documentary, articles in the New York Times and Forbes, numerous other digital posts, and a cute but informative video by PAX TV's Extra Credits. Hopefully with more and more people – women AND men – standing up for decent human behavior, trash talking will remain just that: harmless jabs about someone's leet skillz (or lack thereof) instead of crossing the line into something disgusting, degrading, and completely unacceptable.
Peach and Walnut Salad (from Women's Health July/August '12 edition)
* serves 4 as a side or 2 for an entrée *
3 ripe peaches, sliced into thin wedges
3 Cups arugula
4 oz. fresh mozzarella, cut into 1″ cubes
2 T chopped walnuts or pecans
2 T white wine vinegar
1 C fresh basil
¼ t salt
1) In a large bowl, toss together peaches, arugula, mozzarella, and nuts. Put oil, vinegar, basil, and salt in a food processor or blender and pulse until smooth.
2) Divide peach salad among serving plates and drizzle with basil oil dressing.
Beezer's Notes:
I promise you, if you are attempting to have a salad instead of cookies this is the salad to have. You'll enjoy sweet peaches, soft cheese, slightly bitter greens, and crunchy nuts – all drizzled with a zingy pesto-like dressing. This salad manages to be light and filling at the same time, perfect for summer. Plus, with enough of these you could maybe justify your next batch of cookies (or at least, that's what I tell myself, haha).
Overall Enjoyment: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

After a one week hiatus Once Upon A Time is back with a whole new episode. Tonight is the fifth episode of the ABC hit Once Upon A Time and it called 'That Still Small Voice.' On last week's episode we met another popular fairy tale character, Cinderella. In the real world Cinderalla is Ashley a young pregnant woman Emma tries to help escape from the clutches of Mr. Gold. In the storybook Cinderella made a regrettable deal with Rumpelstiltskin.
The episode was a very heavy Rumpelstiltskin /Mr. Gold episode. But we found out something interesting the sheriff is actually Regina (Evil Witch's) lover. If you missed last week's episode you can read our official recap here!
Episode synopsis: As Sheriff Graham deputizes Emma, the ground shakes and a giant sinkhole mysteriously appears at the edge of town. But a curious Henry's life is placed in danger when he decides to explore the innards of the sinkhole to see if its contents can link the inhabitants of Storybrooke to the fairytale world. Meanwhile, back in the fairytale world, Jiminy Cricket yearns to leave the family business and transform into the person he wants to be.
Have you been watching the show? What did you think? Whose side is the Sheriff on? Have you figured out yet what storybook character the sheriff is yet?
Tonight's show: Tonight's show open in the fairytale at a puppet show. During the show a young red headed boy is pick pocketing the people watching the show. He brings what he has stolen to his parents. The boy sees a cricket and he tells the people he stole for that maybe he wants to be good. We find out that he is Jimmy Cricket = people's conscience.
Head over to our mother site Celeb Dirty Laundry who is live blogging the episode with up-to-the-minute results from 7PM – 8PM.

Sew Kitschy Coffee Pot - April BOM
This month I chose to alter the pattern for the Sew Kitschy Block of the Month led by Kristy at Quiet Play. Ever have the urge to change a pattern up for your own quilts? As I make this quilt I have in mind the property I visited in the summer's of my childhood; my Grandfather's cabin in Canada. I am going for a rustic and simple vibe. Enamel hot pots came to mind when I saw that this month's block is a tea pot. Putting my vision to paper was easy enough. Figuring out the reverse image and sections seemed a bit more complicated than I had thought, so I just dug in, starting with Kristy's pattern for the lid and knob. From there, I improv-pieced, just wingin' it!
Bet you didn't even notice the counter isn't level!!
hmm, maybe you did...
Here is how they are all coming together...
Yep, looking at it gives me Cabin Fever ;-)
Linking up today with Sew Kitschy April Blocks Party,
AyliN Nilya for Monday Maker
And with Lyn at What a Hoot for BOM's Away!

The Horror of Money
Michael Wood
- The Pink and the Green by Stendhal, translated by Richard Howard
Hamish Hamilton, 148 pp, £10.95, July 1988, ISBN 0 241 12289 9
- Stendhal's Violin: A Novelist and his Reader by Roger Pearson
Oxford, 294 pp, £30.00, February 1988, ISBN 0 19 815851 3
Stendhal wrote compulsively from an early age. He scribbled copious advice to himself in a diary, coached his elder sister by correspondence, wrote travel books, autobiographies, a treatise on love, books on composers and painters. He wrote fast too, completed Le Rouge et le Noir while he was receiving the proofs of the work's earlier chapters, and notoriously dashed off the whole of La Chartreuse de Parme in seven weeks. Yet this swift and prolific writer published only three novels in his lifetime, and was also a great master of the false start. He gave up enough novels to provide a book later assigned just that name: Romans Abandonnés. The equally abandoned Lucien Leuwen is some six hundred pages long, and one of the world's greatest unfinished books. The serious competition, I suppose, would be Musil's Man without Qualities.
Stendhal's case is not really like Musil's, though, or anyone else's. Musil found himself an interminable project, a book so personal that he could vanish into it for ever. Stendhal kept finding projects that weren't personal at all, bright ideas which might have done quite nicely for someone else, Balzac for example. He kept trying to be slow and sociological, when all his virtues were related to politics and speed. But he also knew what was missing, cranked out plans for unlikely twists of plot, and then wrote on the manuscript: 'This is pretty baroque, but I need a passion.' A passion that his hero or heroine can have, he means – a source of narrative animation, the drive he found ready-made in the stories he worked up for his great novels. He waited for inspiration, especially after Le Rouge et le Noir ('Nantes, I hope, will be for me what Marseilles was for the Rouge'), got lost ('Perhaps I've already said that somewhere?' – he had), told himself he was lost ('Plan. 2 August. I don't know where I'm going'). Should we say, then, with the veteran Stendhal scholar V. del Litto, that the sheer disarray is what is striking, that if Stendhal had not written La Chartreuse soon after much of this groping stuff we might well think his vocation as a novelist was a myth?
It is true that Stendhal is the sort of writer the New Criticism dreamed of, the most disappearing of authors. Not only is his name a pseudonym, not only are his intentions invariably slippery and multiple, but the novels themselves really do seem sudden miracles of form: one moment there is nothing, or at best mere anecdote; the next there is dazzling art. None of the slow seepage from life into writing, the long and intricate continuities from draft to draft that we find, say, in Proust. We may guess that the seepage must take place somehow, if that's our biographical theory, but we certainly don't see it.
We do see something other than Stendhal's mistakes, however. We see him cruising, so to speak: not in the workshop but on the prowl. We see his imagination alternately at bay ('Use my imagination to depict the absence of imagination') and sent off on odd errands. The Pink and the Green is a very good place to observe all these moves. The title is terrible, of course, a bit of pastel-minded self-plagiarism, but Stendhal would probably have changed that. He considered another, worse possibility: The Rose of the North. 'A flat and pretentious title,' he ruefully commented, 'which seemed fine to me yesterday.' The work was written in 1837, after Stendhal had abandoned Lucien Leuwen, before he found La Chartreuse. It offers us some hundred pages of the beginning of a novel, a few scenes, some characters, one or two narrative possibilities. Stendhal estimated that he had another eight hundred pages to go. He hasn't found a passion for his hero and heroine, and he has already surrounded them with more conspiracy than can be good for them or him. But he is not simply lost here. The Pink and the Green is not a neglected masterpiece, and I'm not sure how much it would interest us if it were not by Stendhal, but it is an attempt at a novel that neither he nor Balzac had written or would ever write: best described, I think, as an early French draft, the Enlightenment's version, of what would become James's Portrait of a Lady. It is a novel about the adventures of the intelligence – as distinct from the conscience or the will – in a world which fears intelligence above all things.

Starting with some good news, David Johnson has had his Schedule 1 License renewed for the 2014 breeding season, with Stuart Harrington and Tony Duckett being his accredited agents.
Breeding season 2013
2013 was another successful year for Peregrine Falcons in the London area. Ten birds fledged from sites that we were directly involved with, although the full figure for London was of course higher. Notable failures included the Parliament pair, which decided to ignore their usual scrape and the pair in Sutton, which briefly reloacted to an unknown site during the early stages of the breeding season and returned without young.
One of the big surprises of the season was the successful breeding attempt by a pair whose site had been disturbed in 2012. This pair found itself an alternative site in an unexpected location, fledging 3 young (see 'site 1′ below for an update for 2014).
Updates for 2014
All accessible sites have been visited and old dirty nesting material (substrate) has been replaced with new clean shingle. Unfortunately at least one site has been hit by this winter's wet weather.
Site 1 has been flooded. Scaffolding had to be put up (during the non-breeding season when the site is not under license) to allow the leak to be fixed. The resident pair have moved to another building close by, where thankfully a nesting tray was installed in 2012. The birds have been seen perched very close to the tray which is a good sign. As usual all the relevant people have been informed of the birds presence and have agreed to stay off the roof until after the breeding season.
Elsewhere, other factors have come into play which have resulted in the loss of potential nest sites. Site 2, for example, was successful last year, fledging two female chicks. During the non-breeding season the owners of the site took steps to deter the birds from returning. This is unfortunate, but ultimately something that we have to accept (more on this in a future blog post).
Other recent news includes the sighting of a pair seen displaying over a currently unoccupied (but previously successful) site in central London. This site still has a purpose-built box in place should a new pair decide to take up residence.
Meanwhile in Sutton, the resident pair have been seen tending to their old scrape, which they last used in 2012. The pair's absence last year remains unexplained, however we are all hopeful that the birds remain on site where local volunteers can be on hand to help the fledglings should they get into difficulty.
As the days lengthen our resident pairs will make themselves seen and heard as they busy themselves mating and acting out courtship rituals in preparation for egg laying.1 Let us know if you notice Peregrine Falcon activity around tall buildings in your area.
Keep looking up, you may see a Peregrine or hear one.
1As this post was being prepared, we heard via Nathalie Mahieu that an egg was laid on Saturday evening at the Charing Cross Hospital site in south west London.

Press Release
|Covidien Announces 2013 Guidance and Provides Historical Financial Statements Adjusted for Discontinued Operations
Company will hold conference call on
"Our revised sales guidance, excluding the Pharmaceuticals business,
reflects our year-to-date performance and current foreign exchange
rates," said
"We have made very substantial progress since announcing our plan to spin off the Pharmaceuticals business in December 2011," said José E. Almeida, Chairman, President and CEO. "Pharmaceuticals has strengthened its operations, enhanced its new products pipeline and established the infrastructure necessary to operate as a standalone company. We expect the spin-off will give both businesses greater flexibility to focus on and pursue their respective growth strategies, while potentially providing shareholders with greater value over the longer term."
Supporting materials are now available on the Investor Relations section of Covidien's website: http://investor.covidien.com
This press release contains financial measures, including operational
growth, adjusted gross margin, adjusted operating income, adjusted
earnings per share, adjusted operating margin and free cash flow, which
are considered "non-GAAP" financial measures under applicable
These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered supplemental to and not a substitute for financial information prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The Company's definition of these non-GAAP measures may differ from similarly titled measures used by others. The Company defines free cash flow as net cash provided by continuing operating activities less capital expenditures.
The non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release adjust for
specified items that can be highly variable or difficult to predict. The
Company generally uses these non-GAAP financial measures to facilitate
management's financial and operational decision-making, including
evaluation of Covidien's historical operating results, comparison to
competitors' operating results and determination of management incentive
compensation. These non-GAAP financial measures reflect an additional
way of viewing aspects of the Company's operations that, when viewed
with GAAP results and the reconciliations to corresponding GAAP
financial measures, may provide a more complete understanding of factors
and trends affecting
Because non-GAAP financial measures exclude the effect of items that will increase or decrease the Company's reported results of operations, management strongly encourages investors to review the Company's consolidated financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is included in the tables accompanying this release.
Any statements contained in this communication that do not describe
historical facts may constitute forward-looking statements as that term
is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such
forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements
about the Company's planned spin-off of its Pharmaceuticals business
including the timing and effect of the transaction. Any forward-looking
statements contained herein are based on our management's current
beliefs and expectations, but are subject to a number of risks,
uncertainties and changes in circumstances, which may cause actual
results or Company actions to differ materially from what is expressed
or implied by these statements. The factors that could cause actual
future results to differ materially from current expectations include,
but are not limited to, our ability to effectively introduce and market
new products or keep pace with advances in technology, the reimbursement
practices of a small number of large public and private insurers,
cost-containment efforts of customers, purchasing groups, third-party
payors and governmental organizations, intellectual property rights
disputes, complex and costly regulation, including healthcare fraud and
abuse regulations and the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, manufacturing
or supply chain problems or disruptions, rising commodity costs, recalls
or safety alerts and negative publicity relating to

so as part of my lasik pre exam I have been referred to a retinologist. I have an old scar in the corner of my retina outside the field of vision I didnt know existed. I have to get it examined. I was told by my optemologist its probably not an issue but the lasik center wanted it looked at. I have a high deductable health plan.
Preparing for the worst Has anyone had this done before and have any idea of what kind of cost to expect? Does anyone know an average/ballpark cost or expectation to get retinal scars laser repaired? couple hundred/couple grand/ 10 grand/ etc? I want to know what I am up against if I have to have it done.
Probably going to want this taken care of soon because the concept makes me nervous.

Having successfully defended Gotham from the Joker, Two-Face and Bane, it seems Batman has retired to the sunny climes of Florida.
That's what some Florida residents might be assuming, anyway, if they've spotted the Caped Crusader's armor-plated Tumbler assault vehicle trundling around streets of the Sunshine State.
Check it out:
In truth, the vehicle is not a covert project created by Lucius Fox in the Applied Sciences division of Wayne Enterprises, but rather the creation of Team Galag, an international racing crew.
The Galag gear monkeys created the picture-perfect replica of the Tumbler for the Gumball 3000, a cross-country car race that favors style over speed.
The custom-made scale replica of the Batman Tumbler reportedly weighs in at 2.5 tons and is a couple feet feet taller than a Hummer H1. Hiding under all the stealthy armor is a 400hp 6.2-liter V8 engine capable of pushing the vehicle to a top speed of 100 miles per hour (not terribly fast, but what the vehicle lacks in speed it makes up for in awesome).
Admit it: you'd trade a non-essential appendage for a chance to drive this thing:

Hey Beautifuls!
This week in the UK has been Lymphoedema Awareness Week. Lymphoedema gets less press than it deserves. It's also more common than people realise. There are at least 240,000 sufferers in the UK and around 6 million in the USA. The condition has been ignored by medical professionals for so long. NOW IS THE TIME FOR CHANGE! We will be ignored no longer.
The Lymphoedema Support Network (LSN) are taking a stand! They have started a social media campaign- 'Sock it to Lymphoedema'. The aim is to donate as much to charity as possible through wearing odd socks for a day and nominating someone else to do the same.
Many of us have already taken part. SO SHOULD YOU! Follow these 3 steps:
1.Take a picture of yourself wearing odd socks, upload it to social media
2. Text 70070 with the code LSNS14 followed by an amount of your choice.
3. Nominate someone to do the same and tell them your socking it to lymphoedema by CHOOSING to wear odd socks as lymphoedema sufferers don't have that choice.
Here are some socksies to inspire you!
Lots of Love

Fuel System
The fuel system provides the fuel necessary for the engine to operate.
In years past, a mechanical fuel pump and carburetor were used. In order for engines to run better and produce less harmful emissions, electronic fuel injection systems have taken their place. On modern vehicles, fuel is supplied by an electric pump and metered to the cylinders by computer controlled fuel injectors.
Fuel Tank
The fuel tank stores the fuel. Inside the tank, there is a float that signals the computer systems and/or fuel gauge as to how much fuel is in the tank. On newer vehicles, the fuel pump, fuel, filter, and fuel pressure regulator may also be housed inside the fuel tank.
Fuel Injector
The fuel injector is a nozzle-and-valve assembly that sprays a precise amount of fuel from the pressurized fuel system into the engine to aid in the combustion process. More >>
Additional Key Component — Fuel Pump
The fuel pump draws fuel from the fuel tank and sends it to the engine. More >>

GREAT news! We are part of the Te Papa collection :)
The marionettes seen above are now part of the permanent collection of TE PAPA. Regular readers of my Blog will know that this is the National Museum of New Zealand here in Wellington. Having this multicultural show, Mustava and the Kauri Giant, become part of their permanent collection is just such a great honour. Also, hopefully, a great step for the recognition of puppetry in this country. As well they decided to take my oldest figure. A fabric creation that dates back a good 40 plus years, see below. Such a great palace for it to cover my development as an artist and puppeteer over all these years. Being represented at Te Papa after over 30 years touring New Zealand and making this country my home is a great acknowledgement of my work. Am very happy :)

Born and raised in Idaho, I constantly had access to the outdoors; hiking, fishing, hunting, camping, skiing, and summer water sports. After high school, I spent two years in Korea teaching English and proselytizing for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I was exposed to an entirely different culture and learned the virtues of knowing the way others think. Shortly after returning from Korea, I enrolled in college in Hawaii on the island of O'ahu, and soon became exposed to more cultures from the pacific islands. College education focusing on English, Creative Writing, and Theatre gave me opportunities to dive into literature and enjoy the depth of writing and its potential. Hawaii became my first love and the one place where I always wanted to return to, should I find myself away. In Hawaii, I met my wife, and we were married in Kona. We lived and taught in Hawaii for two years, before moving to the mainland to escape high rent prices. We are now pursing more school and continuing to write and create new stories and worlds to put them in.

We had an amazing day at the Milwaukee County Zoo and the Sky Trail Adventure Course. THe rope course is amazing and it can be enjoyed by all ages. The zip line over the zoo grounds was fantastic and my daughter wanted to do it all day! Sky Tyke for the littles is such a great idea and gave my son the confidence he needed to do the big ropes course. We had a blast and I would recommend this experience to anyone. The zoo is gorgeous. We had the perfect day.

If you take a close look at this photo you will see that there are four students working and one student doing the opposite. I shall call this student Mr. F.
Let me give you some background information on Mr. F:
I have taught him language arts for two and a half years.
Half of sixth, all of the seventh and what is left of 8th grade.
He originally started off in general education classrooms, but was not making it so he was placed in all intensive classes.
I do believe his goal was to land himself into a life skills class so he would have the least amount of work possible...and by looking at the picture he close to completing this goal.
I have done everything possible to help him be successful.
Called "parents"
Spoke with other teachers
tried to get him to attend tutoring
gave him the benefit of the doubt
Provided him with art supplies
praised him with no end in sight
supported him when others wrote him off
and yet this is what I get. Head down with no interest to improve his writing ability. Now, he does have good days and even great days, but these last couple of weeks have been rough for him, myself and everyone around him. I am at the point where I have to let him go and give the attention he would be getting to my other students because clearly he has given up.
Do I want to give up on Mr. F?
Has he given me anything to work with?
If by chance he starts beliving in himself again I will reposition myself as his biggest supporter...until then I have others students to worry about.

A desire had long existed among the people to have the name of the county changed from Davis to one more agreeable to the Union sentiment of the county. They did not like the idea of their county having been named after Jeff Davis, who was at that time President of the Confederacy and commander-in-chief of the Rebel army. Two years prior, an effort had been made to have the name changed from Davis to Lyon, in honor of General Lyon, who was killed at Wilson's Creek, and who had taken quite a part in the early settlement of the county. Failing in this, they made another effort in 1864 to have it changed to Lincoln, but in this also, they failed, and so it is that Davis County retains the name of the individual who was placed at the head of the rebellion for the destruction of the Union. 1

We live in the age of global communication and connectivity. Could you imagine 10 years ago, if you told someone that you would be sitting in a cafe connected to a global network without son connected to your laptop, read the latest news or even play a game with your friends?
If your modem is already connected to the computer, disconnect the cable behind the processor and plug it into the port labeled as WAN router. Alternatively, simply connect the modem cable into the port router and begin the next step in the router configuration.
What I really want to talk about is the frequency of the channel, probably one of the most overlooked problems on home and office routers today. If you have two or more routers in the opening session near (next door) and they are on the same frequency, then they will fight for waves causing the loser to disconnect. As I said, most routers can (what I saw) are set to channel 6 on 12 channels, so my advice is to change the channel! Another indication of a wave of air combat is the router becomes warm by working too hard.
If you have a Wi-Fi network configuration using your Linksys router, the command will display 'Wireless LAN adapter Wireless Network Connection: IP address, subnet mask and default gateway'. As mentioned above, the default gateway and IP address represent respectively the IP addresses for your router and computer. When finished, click the X button in the upper right corner of the window and close Command Prompt.
You must have installed the router first. After that, open a web browser. You can do this at any computer that is in the local network. Once the browser has already done, enter the router's IP address in the URL address field. Most use the IP address 192.168.1.1 login, but it always depends on how you configured during installation and what brand of router you use. You can consult the manual to ensure you or just go in Network preferences computer options.
Allow anyone -> Using the TCP port 23456 (substitute for your above port number) to connect to 192.168.1.1 (substitute your internal IP address). You may need to consult your router manual regarding port forwarding for it. You may need to define a protocol or a particular server for TCP 23456 (substitute your particular port number above). This is the hardest step of all if it may take some time to achieve.
You will be able to configure iPads, printers, game consoles and almost all other wireless devices, without any help, once you understand how to configure a wireless router correctly.
Do not panic – there is a solution. This article will tell you some secrets that will help you not only send but also to get messages with your SMTP server local outgoing mail. Of course, this comic situation is just a joke and you must ensure that you configure your server to receive before sending.
What if, through this communication network in the world, you can not only read the latest news or do your shopping online; you can actually remotely control your home PC! Think about that for a minute, would that allow you to do? Would it allow you to remotely use the applications you have installed at home, such as accounting applications, spreadsheets or documents? Allow yourself to check all possibly progressing downloads you have at home? Check the e-mails that come only for your mail client? The possibilities are truly endless. There is a handy solution, and in this article I will focus on the use of integrated features of Microsoft Windows XP Professional, ie Remote Desktop.
Then you will configure your computer network router at home to fight against malware in 3 easy steps with success and thus, with the comfort and speed. And then you can enjoy all the benefits of being online while protecting your family against online pornography and other malicious threats.

This is the second time that I have reached my gauge perfectly. I am enjoying the making of this Afghan tremendously, because I am learning a lot about how I knit and how stitches behave. I find myself looking forward to the next square which I have done already, but will not post until tomorrow. The next square is actually the most beautiful square that I have ever done in my life and it is so simple. Thanks for stopping by!
I am hoping that this blog will help you and me experience the craft of crochet as well as knitting. During times of silence or turmoil, crochet and knitting continuously help me quiet my mind at my own pace, enabling me to find my center. I have patterns for sale in PDF Format, you can find them at their own Pages at the top menu. The posts are classified By labels which are at the far right, all the way down. We are the Borg! I think it will bring Order into Chaos!

LTKA Square 6
This square shows you ribbing, 2 x 2 ribbing twisted and not twisted or as some may call it , normal. lol! A relaxed cast on and relaxed knitting finally paid off in reaching the gauge, but it is a matter of the material, the needles and how you feel. My gauge will definitely change with a different material even if it is the same weight or thickness.

After being curious for years I finally caught a random episode of the Irwin Allen TV show Land of the Giants (1968-1970). I never saw any of the Allen television productions as a youth simply because they were never rerun in my area, so when they began to be issued on DVD years ago I sought out the titles I found more interesting. As a consequence, I've seen many episodes of Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea and The Time Tunnel but this show has flown under my radar because I found the title a little...... silly.
Now that I've seen an example I have to say 'silly' is hardly the word I would use to describe it. I would call it dull, labored, obvious and tedious to the point of madness long before calling it silly. The episode in question was entitled Chamber of Fear and involves one of the miniature humans being captured by a sculptor/jewel thief (really) who is currently embroiled in a disagreement with his thief partner about the best way to cut a stolen diamond. The other miniature people strike a deal to help the sculptor (and his harpy wife) find the now hidden gemstone if he will release their tiny friend. Cue much running around oversized sets, threatening dogs and cats and some ridiculous attempts to establish tension.
I was so bored it took me three tries to get all the way through this hour long program. Everything is so drawn out and predictable that I hated having to suffer through to the end of each scene. The situations were all laughable - and not in the fun, science fictional way I had hoped for either. It was all so stupid and boring watching these people go through their unsurprising motions that, by the end, I felt angry. This was ten solid minutes of story stretched out to an hour long plod.
Maybe this was a particularly bad episode and there are better ones lurking among the 51 produced but DAMN! If they are all this slow and uninvolving I can't see how the show survived two seasons. Anyone out there able to recommend episodes of this show worth watching?

The good news is that the dog days have broken and winter is well on its way! The bad news is we all know what that means: With all the time spent indoors it can be easy to pack back on the pounds we lost during the warmer season. It doesn't help that we typically end up spending more time at work in order to get the cash we need to buy gifts for the holidays at the end of the year either. However, there are still some clever ways that you can burn calories without sacrificing your time. How you ask? Well why not work out at work? Here are some great ways to make the most of your multitasking at the office to stay healthy and fit during the holiday season!
Work Out Your Work Commute
If you live far away from the office, this can be a tough task to accomplish, but it is one of the most effective ways to keep the winter weight away during the holiday season. If you can't walk or ride a bike to work because of the distance, consider taking the bus or the subway. In addition to helping the environment and saving money on gas, you also give yourself the option of getting off a few stops early to walk or jog the rest of the way. If you must drive, give yourself a bit of extra time in the morning and park at the far end of the parking lot. Also, don't forget to take the stairs! If you work near the top of a 40-story office building, take the elevator and get off on the 35th floor to walk the rest of the difference. It doesn't take a huge chunk out of your day when you take advantage of the opportunities that present themselves everyday if you look for them. You'll be surprised the difference a little extra effort built up over time can make.
Eat Right
You may have heard the old wive's tale about how "breakfast is the most important meal of the day" before. Well, it turns out those old wives knew what they were talking about. Actually, studies have shown that those who eat a smart breakfast can jumpstart their metabolisms. Choose something like oatmeal, fruit, or scrambled eggs for breakfast. Each is loaded with good things that can really help you out in the mornings. In addition, you should also eat around five small meals a day, rather than three large meals with tons of calories. Studies show that if you go for a while without eating after the food has left the stomach, your body looks for ways to store up energy because it thinks you might not find any food again. Instead of burning the fat, it tries to store it up a little while after you eat. It may sound weird since most people think that not eating would cause their body to use up stored fat. In reality though, that only happens if the body has gone an exceptionally long time without food. People who go for long periods between meals tend to overindulge when they eat again which puts a burden on the stomach. Slowly munching on light, healthy, small meals throughout the day sends your body a signal that its not starving. Most people that use this technique keep their metabolism constantly going so they burn more fat! Its even better if the meals are homeade since you burn more calories making the food than you do waiting for takeout. lso, remember never to eat at your desk. Its unsanitary and often filled with distractions. Keep all of this in mind while at work and you're well on your way to melting that winter weight!
Make the Most of Break Time
Instead of using your break time to snack, play solitaire, or watch cat videos on Youtube, make the most of your time by using it to do healthy workplace activities. Take a walk outside to get some fresh air. People who do this often return to their desks feeling much more energized and refreshed when they return to work than those who don't. If its raining or you can't escape for whatever reason, try to turn the dark weather into a sunny day at the office by chatting with some co-workers about something funny. Not only will it uplift the mood of the whole office, but studies also show that laughter can burn up to fifty calories if you do it for ten to fifteen minutes everyday! The upbeat mood does wonders for office environments because it relieves stress (which is a notorious fat builder). Keeping things light at work will make things more fun and give everyone a much more fulfilling day.
Sit Up Straight - Or Stand!
Sitting up straight is a simple way to give yourself a leaner figure. Make a habit of keeping a good posture while working and it will reward you with a trim figure that will make you the star of the cubicles. Sitting up straight helps to build up your abdominal muscles and burn a bit of extra belly fat to help you look thinner. Better yet, you may even decide to take the initiative of leaving behind your office chairs altogether in favor of standing up. There are plenty of office desks with modern design that provide ergonomic features such as height adjustability for those who prefer to stand on the job. Standing burns more calories than sitting, and most office environments are loaded with opportunities to make the change. Instead of instant messaging or calling someone you work with, walk to their office instead. All it takes is getting on your feet!
Yep. Its a thing. If there's one thing that's great about office cubicles with privacy is that they can provide a great opportunity for you to lose some of that winter weight without getting strange looks. Deskercising, or exercising at your desk, is a fabulous way to burn some calories at work. Believe it or not, there are actually plenty of office chairs with ergonomics that make wonderful exercise equipment. Some chairs have even been designed specifically to help people exercise and improve their posture so as to keep them healthier. There are tons of videos, classes, and even fitness websites with sections devoted to deskercising for those who want to stay fit without sacrificing their leisure time. Just hide a few exercise bands and some dumbbells in storage cabinets that save space in the office, and work with them during breaks. Keep all of these great tricks in mind, and you'll be one of the few who doesn't have to work to win back their summer figure when the ice melts into swimming pools!

When surfing the internet I discovered that a French translation of the first two Murakami novels is appearing tomorrow, January 14th, from Belfond. The translator is Hélène Morita who has translated a number of Murakami novels. She has also done works by Natsume Soseki, Kawabata Yasunari, Miyazawa Kenji and Dazai Osamu. It is interesting to note that the word "pinball" [Japanese: pinbõru became "flipper"in French, like in Polish and Dutch translations.
Here is a link to an interview with Morita.
She calls Murakami's language "simple," "direct and flowing" and talks about Japanese being ambiguous, but admits that Murakami's language is less so. She also mentions the difficulty of translating tense and how her Japanese informants are sometimes not sure how to answer her questions. It is an issue I myself am very familiar with and will address in a future post – you ask three people and you get three different answers. How do you decide which one to choose?
And here is a link to a video where Hélène Morita talks about translating 1Q84 during the literary festival Mixed Zone organized by Université de Liège in October 2012.
Also, I seem to have missed the appearance of the Russian translation of Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki by Dmitry Kovalenin. It came out last May from Eksmo.
One is struck by the similarity of the cover to the American version, designed by Chip Kidd and Maggie Hinders.
Readers of this blog may remember that sometimes particularly nice Murakami covers get "reused" by other translations. For example on September 14, 2014, I described how the Portuguese translation of Tsukuru Tazaki used the German cover design (by Lübekke Naumann Thoben) because the editor, Marta Ramires, "loved the cover and thought it might work for the Portuguese market as well." Some editions, for example, the Taiwanese translation by Lai Ming Chu, used the original Japanese cover design featuring a painting titled Pillars of Fire, by Morris Louis.
I have also found the Turkish cover of Tsukuru Tazaki. The book came out in 2014 from Doǧan Kitap and was translated by Hüseyin Can Erkin, a Japan scholar and a translator of a number Murakami's novels, including 1Q84 and Kafka on the Shore.
This blog is meant as an open forum where translators of Haruki Murakami can share ideas and discuss solutions to problems encountered in the process of translating his works. It was launched by two translators of Murakami into Norwegian and Polish, Ika Kaminka and Anna Zielinska-Elliott. Some of us have collaborated in the past, and many of us are in touch regularly by e-mail, but the publication of the new novel in 2013 served as a catalyst for the creation of an online translation blog.

Internet marketing often acts as the perfect platform to get newbies to part with their hard earned cash. Most people have heard of it, and most people have heard of the success it can bring their way.
Unfortunately this leads to shady internet marketing training systems popping up on a daily basis – they attract attention and they make money!
It's usually all about the sales page – nice bright text with over-sized titles claiming untold riches…
This is rarely the case I'm afraid.
You see, most people BELIEVE that you can earn good money online with the push of a button…as long as you find the right opportunity.
Overnight Commissions stood out to me because it opts to go down this 'bold claims' route. I've seen a million offers like it and I'll probably see a million more in my time.
But was I right about this over-hyped marketing module? Is Overnight Commissions really as dodgy as it sounds?
Let's take a closer look…
If you are interested in making real money online that can possibly replace or supplement your income regularly check out our #1 Recommendation HERE
The Overnight Commissions Review
We should really start this review off by highlighting the rather ambitious entry point to this product – the sales pitch/page.
I have a sort of red flag checklist that is embedded deep in my brain when it comes to these types of sales pitches…and it works 99% of the time.
First off we've got a rather bold number thrown in our faces with a guarantee that we'll make this figure EVERY SINGLE NIGHT!
That's right – by taking on this training you are setting yourself up for at least $135.37 a night.
It's a little bit precise really isn't it?
I mean, how do they know I'll make this amount to the penny?
On top of this strange guess at a figure is a timer slowly counting down towards marketing oblivion…
"Take Action Now or The Price Will Increase in ____"
I mean come on…why the f##k would the price increase?
What reason could there be for this increase?
All we need to round off the bullsh#t is a selection of testimonials on how successful the product is…and we get them (hooray!).
That's right, the sales pitch also makes use of the system results in the form of payment proofs etc. Unfortunately they seem to be a little bit on the low quality side and I couldn't quite read all of what was on offer.
The problem here is that it is pretty simple to fake ALL of the sales tactics above – it's been done many times before and it always seems to follow the same route.
But Wait There's More…
Okay, so we've got the more traditional scam marketing tactics out of the way – surely there must be some truth in their setup somewhere?
Well Overnight Commissions actually opts to go a little bit further with their dodgy marketing jive just to make damn sure you're roped in…
I've lost count of the amount of times I've heard new marketing opportunities blame the so-called gurus for people's failure online.
Here we go again!
Overnight Commissions desperately tries to get you onside by claiming they are just like you – they are not a guru and they never will be!
Change the record – this "I'm no guru" trick has been running for years now (and you're definitely NOT one of us!).
Then we arrive at the magic formula – the trick you are going to be taught that will take no more than 30 minutes out of your day to perform.
That's right – it's the 'push button' territory that is always floating on complete sh#t!
Internet marketing is VERY lucrative BUT you cannot take ANY short cuts with it – if you want to succeed at it you need to put in some hard, hard graft and dedication.
30 minutes a day is just complete nonsense – period.
Inside The Box
As soon as I signed up for the reduced price version of this product (just under a tenner at the time of writing this!) I was bombarded with pretty sharp scare tactics which led to various upsells.
I have to be honest here – these scare tactics were pretty impressive overall.
You've basically just bought the product now they are telling you it is worthless without these extra options and you are going to struggle without them.
On top of that there's no way off the page as you get a warning informing you that if you close the upsell offer there will be an error in your product order.
I just HAD to try this out so I closed the page anyway – utter bullsh#t as I suspected.
So, with the scare tactics out of the way, I finally arrived in the members area which supplied me with the following 3 steps:
Step #1
You are pushed, sorry, asked if you would like to sign up to a webinar.
Step #2
This step seemed to be nothing more than yet another upsell system housed on various third party websites. Bit of a cheek including it in the product training but true to form at least!
Step #3
This seemed to be the actual training aimed at turning you into a marketing mastermind. The training consists of 15 videos, totaling 2 hours and 42 minutes' worth of training.
Nowhere in this training was a magic formula you could take on for marketing riches – 30 minutes a day my ass!
This type of marketing is not exactly confusing BUT it does have a steep learning curve. Most people give up at it within a month or two of starting off their training regime.
Is Overnight Commissions Scam?
Well if the training had been as bad as the rest of the product then I would have definitely had to say yes…but it wasn't.
The training was actually okay…but it could of been a lot better.
They cut a lot of corners but about 85% of their marketing training was up to date and it does work if applied properly.
The problem is that they lie to get you on board and they then lie to get you to purchase their upsells.
This type of marketing can work but it will take a lot longer than 30 minutes a day to succeed I'm afraid…

It was so good.
Even better than what I could have hoped for! Critics are upset with the film because it's a total critique of socialism and quite damning to feminism. There is a mid-credits scene with Amanda Waller (Viola Davis), so do not leave until you have seen that because it is important. I would say the two most important scenes are the one in the subway when the "Brother" starts feeding; please pay attention to what happens and to whom it happens, and then, towards the end, just before the Squad finishes off the job, and what happens with Deadshot's (Will Smith) little girl appearing to him. Yes, please go see it, have fun, and get your tickets early!
This is the first trailer for the newest Christopher Nolan,... excuse me,.... "Sir" Christopher Nolan film (the one with Harry Styles) about the great Dunkirk evacuation at the start of World War II:
If you are tempted to compare this to Steven Spielberg's Saving Private Ryan,... you're supposed to be. THIS, ladies and gentlemen, is a battle of the directors, and it's Nolan vs Spielberg at ringside, who are you going to place your bets on? Dunkirk will probably be considered Nolan's greatest film; how can I say that? Because it would take tremendous love and knowledge to make this film about epic sacrifice and patriotism, and Nolan is the man who has all these virtues in abundance. I am getting Suicide Squad up asap.

First year medical students receive stethoscopes,
Family uses tragedy to encourage future physicians to make a
(ATHENS, Ohio – Aug. 15, 2013) First year medical students at the
Ohio University Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine (OU-HCOM)
now carry a stethoscope engraved with the phrase "Excel in Leaving a
Mark." The 142 stethoscopes for students in the Class of 2017 were
gifts made possible by the Jason Madachy Foundation and the OU-HCOM
Society of Alumni and Friends.
The Jason Madachy Foundation is a nonprofit organization that Dolly
and Joe Madachy established in memory of their son Jason, an
aspiring physician, who died tragically weeks after his graduation
from Miami University in 2007 and just before beginning medical
In a ceremony that moved many to tears with the story of Jason and
the altruism of the family, students hugged Mrs. Madachy as she gave
each of them their
Littmann Cardiology III stethoscope.
Mrs. Madachy explained that the stethoscope was a poignant and
lasting gift meant to encourage the future physicians to do their
best and to be the best at what they do.
"We are here not only to give you your stethoscopes, but to remind
you not to wait to tomorrow. Get out of your comfort zone and make a
difference," said Mrs. Madachy. "When you become a physician you'll
have this stethoscope in your hands when you save a patient."
"Your work comes from your heart to the hearts of your patients.
This tool will touch the hearts of your patients," Mr. Madachy said.
The Madachys wanted to find a meaningful way to commemorate Jason's
life and to inspire others to give back. Jason was heavily involved
with philanthropic activities. "He also wanted to become a doctor
since a young age, and he was always giving back. He wanted to make
a difference," Mrs. Madachy said.
While still in shock over the sudden death of their son, the idea to
present first year medical students with stethoscopes came to them
while at the White Coat Ceremony for the Marshall University College
of Medicine Class of 2011, of which Jason would have been a member.
Two faculty members at Marshall presented each student with a
stethoscope in Jason's memory. Soon after, the Madachys established
the foundation with the intent to purchase stethoscopes for medical
The foundation presented its first stethoscopes to A.T. Still
University Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine's Class of
2013, of which Jason's younger brother, Jeff, was a member. Jeff had
earned his undergraduate degree from Ohio University, and seven
years ago he founded the annual Polar Bear Plunge fundraiser for the
Special Olympics in honor of his brother. Jeff is now a first year
resident at OhioHealth's Doctors Hospital.
Jacqueline Zuponcic, OMS IV, first connected the college with the
Jason Madachy Foundation after receiving a stethoscope from the
foundation upon her matriculation to OU-HCOM. "My
classmates at Miami University who also matriculated received
stethoscopes as gifts from the foundation as well." Mrs. Madachy
contacted her about providing stethoscopes to new students at
OU-HCOM in honor of Jason.
So far, the Jason Madachy Foundation has distributed stethoscopes to
medical students at more than a dozen medical schools nationally,
most of which are in Ohio.
"You received your white coats which are seen as your entry into the
family of medicine, and the stethoscope really is a symbol of being
a physician," said OU-HCOM Executive Dean Kenneth H. Johnson, D.O.,
who noted that it will be with each of the students throughout their
academic career at the college. "It will be an invaluable tool that
each of you will use with your patients as you become a doctor of
osteopathic medicine."
The OU-HCOM Society of Alumni and Friends Board is committed to
providing stethoscopes to first year students well into the future,
said Laurie Lach, director of alumni affairs.
This year was the second OU-HCOM students received stethoscopes.
College alumni have the opportunity to sponsor the purchase of a
stethoscope for an incoming student, and the Madachys and Society
members urged this year's class to give back after they graduate.
"The alumni society believes that this reinforces and moves forward
in a small but significant way the essential values of the college,
values of a commitment to service, generosity and compassion," said
Tim Law, D.O. ('94), assistant professor of family medicine and a
member of the Society's board of directors.
"This gift serves first as a medical instrument that you will use
each day, but it also serves as a symbol for our alumni society to
inspire each of you, our first year osteopathic medical students, to
give back to your community and your alma mater when your time
allows," Dr. Law told the Class of 2017. "As you receive your
stethoscope, remember that it is more than a medical instrument, it
is a symbol of caring for and giving to others."
First year students Josi Herren, Dan Krajcik and Bill Wilson, who
joined the couple for lunch on Wednesday, presented the Madachys
with flowers and a card signed by the class. Having started medical
school just weeks ago, Herren described wearing a stethoscope as,
"…feeling like playing dress up, but it is a good reminder that we
are here for a reason."
"This is an amazing gift, a perfect gift to give to a medical
student," said Wilson as he offered thanks to the Madachys on behalf
of his classmates. "Whenever we look at this engraving, we will
remember you. We thank you for going the extra mile to be here with
us. You are the most compassionate and loving and thoughtful

Low-Profile HD 6850 graphics card from AFOX on shelves in Japan
A particularly interesting looking HD 6850 graphics card has been found in Japanese stores by a company unheard of to most, AFOX. It's not just the brand name and box design that stands out, though. More interestingly, this card is quite a big step away from the reference design in that it is of low-profile stature and without the need for external power.
The low profile heatsink/fan design is also a standout feature with its dual-fan aluminum setup. AFOX appears to have left the stock clock rates on the card alone, however, which are 775MHz on the core and 4000MHz on the GDDR5 memory.
Due to being a low-profile card, it only has 1 x DVI and 1 x DisplayPort output. AFOX does ship the card with a separate full-profile bracket.
The card is now on sale in Japan with a price tag that equates to about $250 USD.

It's great being in the new centre at work, but I can't wait until we get back into actual routine again. With the switch around while we actually moved, and the October holiday coming up, I can't keep track of days at all right now.
I had the best and worse of food experiences today. The highlight was Free Stufz that Disney gave us (again! First an Avengers DVD and now this, it's been a good freebie month). We all got a gift voucher for a box of goodies from Haagen Dazs in honour of the Moon Festival, with today being the last day to redeem it and us not having to be into work until a bit later (owing to the Fire Marshall coming to give the final sign off) I hopped the metro a few stops to the city proper and picked mine up. It was pretty! (Click for larger if you want to see what's in it)
The roundish chocolate thing is an ice-cream version of a moon cake (making it basically a big, delicious choc ice), the traditional version of which I'm not really a fan of. Slight choc ice fail though when I bit into it and realise the dry ice seen on the side of the box hadn't quite done the job, and while the chocolate had the remained solid the inside was liquid. My problem was compounded by the fact that after finishing my treat (over the sink, mamma didn't raise no fools) (well...) I realised the water had been turned off temporarily and had to do some improvising to make myself presentable again. The rest of my box is currently in the freezer at work to prevent me from scoffing the whole lot in one go at home.
I'm meant to be off tomorrow because I'm coming in a day early back from the holiday to do demos, but I didn't get all my lesson planning done (my AT was having boyfriend drama, which I thought I'd avoided owing to her calling in sick, but she rang and I couldn't get her off the phone) so I'll nip in tomorrow for a few hours and get the rest finished off.
On the way home I had to nip into WalMart and get some meat for attempt two in the slow cooker (tomorrow, I want to wake up, poke the contents of that pot with a spoon and have it fall apart - you hear me slow cooker?) and had unfortunate low point in food for the day, on display (or, more precisely, animal parts) section of the shop
What? Suddenly not hungry? There was no meat on it, just pig face hung up by the ears. I particularly like how the black bar behind it makes it look like it's glaring balefully out of one eye.

This reminds me of something that happened to me as a child. My mom brought me to a funeral home to visit an old lady who had just became a widow. We walked right up to the coffin and stood there next to the dead guy. As my mom talked to the widow, I stared intently at the dead guy. If you stare at something long enough it seem to move. Of course it was all in my head but for the life of me I honestly thought it was really breathing. I swear and cross my heart I saw what looked like the dead guy taking a deep breath. I screamed out, "He's breathing!!" and my mom slapped me down and told me to be quiet.
As I stared more intently at the chest and stomach of the dead body, it looked like it would periodically do it again and again. I thought the dead guy was trying to trick us and I was the only one who knew his secret. I figured my mom didn't hear what I said the first time because she didn't get upset about the trickery, so I yelled it again.
When I said it louder the widow became excited and looked into the coffin at the body. I got promptly smacked and told to shut up by my mother. This was extremely frustrating. I felt like no one was doing anything about this deceit! Why was this faker trying to trick his wife into thinking he was dead? I figured everyone would be happy about my discovery, but they weren't. I got lots of glares and stares. I remember thinking, "What is wrong with these people?! Do they not want him to be alive?"
