hey everyone!
glad you enjoyed the random questions from last night. several of you didn't like the first question, but these are the things i think about, people, i can't hide my strange thoughts from you.
anyway, it sounds like most of you would rather freeze to death than burn to death. the consensus is that you would just fall asleep and go numb. i agree. here are my answers to all the questions:
1. would you rather burn to death or freeze to death? freeze. see above for reason.
2. what was the last green food you ate? i am eating green beans right this very minute.
3. how many pillows do you sleep with? one, but sometimes it ends up being none if i throw it off the bed unknowingly in my sleep. marshall sleeps with zero pillows—instead, he uses a blanket as a pillow.
4. do you have any phobias? claustrophobia!!!!!!!!! i also hate spiders.
5. what was the last thing you took a photo of? the recipe i am about to show you…
as i mentioned, i was feeling less than 100% yesterday. i am still feeling a little blah, thanks to those of you who sent get well wishes. no idea what's going on there. the good news is that they were able to fix our furnace! after about 4 hours of shivering and waiting around for the repairman to arrive, that is. but instead of complaining, i kept calm and did what i do best—made a casserole.
bobby flay was throwing it down on the food network and it was a battle for the best lobster mac & cheese. this put the idea of mac & cheese in marshall's head, so that was his special dinner request. i rose from my nap, cracked a kombucha and got to work..
four cheese chicken mac.
makes six big servings
- 6 oz whole wheat elbow macaroni (cooked in salted water)
- 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, boiled & shredded
- 1 large bunch green onions, chopped
- 1 1/4 (give or take) cottage cheese, blended
- 4 laughing cow cheese wedges
- 2/3 cup (give or take) shredded colby jack cheese
- 1/3 cup (give or take) shredded parmesan or asiago cheese
- 1/2-3/4 cup milk of choice (i used skim)
- 1 tsp dried basil
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 3/4 tsp garlic powder
- salt + pepper to taste
- whole wheat panko bread crumbs
- more cheese for sprinkling purposes
after preparing your macaroni and chicken, put a pot on the stove over medium heat. spray it with oil and toss in the green onions.
sauté for a few minutes while you blend and grate your cheeses.
turn the heat to low and add your cheese and milk to the pot—you don't want to scorch it, so low and slow is the key!
go ahead and add the basil, oregano, garlic, salt and pepper.. taste it and make sure it is to your satisfaction. add more of something if you want.. but at this point it is a little too late to add less, so i hope you like it.
add your chicken and noodles to the pot and mix well.
pour mixture into a 9×9 baking dish.
sprinkle with cheese if you want (trust me, you want.)
top with bread crumbs.
i found these whole wheat panko bread crumbs at whole foods.
cover with aluminum foil and bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes or until you can't possibly wait any longer for your husband to get home from the gym.
i really think this may be the best casserole yet. i just got done eating the leftovers for lunch and i am in casserole heaven.
make it. i dare you.
finish the sentence according to your mood today: "keep calm and _______________"
xo. janetha g.
p.s. here are the nutritionals for those who asked.. per serving= 440 calories, 42g protein, 31g carbs, 16g fat.. no, i didn't say it was good for you!

|Perera, R., Riley, S., Ma, S. K., Zhu, H., Guan, Y., & Peiris, J. S. (2011). Seroconversion to Pandemic (H1N1) 2009 Virus and Cross-Reactive Immunity to Other Swine Influenza Viruses. Emerging Infectious Diseases, 17(10), 1897-1899. https://dx.doi.org/10.3201/eid1710.110629.
To assess herd immunity to swine influenza viruses, we determined antibodies in 28 paired serum samples from participants in a prospective serologic cohort study in Hong Kong who had seroconverted to pandemic (H1N1) 2009 virus. Results indicated that infection with pandemic (H1N1) 2009 broadens cross-reactive immunity to other recent subtype H1 swine viruses.
Pandemic (H1N1) 2009 was able to spread globally because it was antigenically divergent from contemporary human seasonal subtype H1N1 influenza viruses (1). Because we now recognize that pandemics can arise from influenza subtypes endemic in humans, it is essential that subtypes H1 and H3 swine viruses be considered potential future pandemic candidates, together with other avian virus subtypes such as H2, H5, or H9. Thus, it becomes imperative to investigate herd immunity in humans to swine and avian influenza viruses of subtypes H1 and H3.
Influenza virus subtypes H1 and H3 of diverse lineages are endemic in swine and are globally widespread. Eurasian avian-like swine H1 viruses are found in Europe; triple reassortant swine subtypes H1 and H3 viruses remain entrenched in North America (2). In China, we have demonstrated the co-circulation of these lineages together with classical swine (CS) subtype H1 viruses and also documented the emergence of antigenically variant reassortant viruses with gene segments of >2 of these lineages. We previously showed a lack of herd immunity in humans to some of these swine virus lineages in serum samples collected before the 2009 pandemic (3). However, the spread of pandemic (H1N1) 2009 worldwide may generate cross-reactive herd immunity to some of these swine virus lineages, making them less likely candidates for future pandemics. In this study, we assessed the relationship between seroconversion to pandemic (H1N1) 2009 and cross-reactive antibody responses to other major subtype H1 swine viruses in humans.
Twenty-eight paired serum samples from a prospective serologic cohort study in Hong Kong, in which participants seroconverted to the pandemic (H1N1) 2009 virus, were selected to represent persons of diverse ages (median 39.5 years, range 8–74 years). Details of the serologic cohort have been reported elsewhere (4). The first (prepandemic or baseline) serum sample from each person was collected during July–August 2009, and the second (postpandemic or convalescent-phase) serum sample was collected during November 2009–February 2010. The peak of the first pandemic wave in Hong Kong occurred in September 2009. Subtype H1 swine influenza viruses, representative of CS, Eurasian avian-like swine (EA), triple reassortant swine (TRIG), pandemic (H1N1) 2009 viruses, and selected reassortants between these lineages with diverse antigenic profiles, were selected from our surveillance of swine influenza viruses in China (3). Relevant viruses from other geographic regions were also included. Each pair of baseline and convalescent-phase serum samples was tested for antibodies by microneutralization tests using each swine influenza virus. The profile of serologic responses to these swine viruses is shown in the Figure.
In accordance with our selection criteria, all 28 persons seroconverted (rise in antibody titer from <20 to >40) to the pandemic (H1N1) 2009 virus; follow-up antibody titers ranged from 40 to 320 (Figure). As expected, no serologic response occurred to seasonal influenza (H1N1) virus A/HK/400599/2008. Because the postpandemic serum samples were collected 2–5 months after the peak of the pandemic, waning of antibody titers over a few months is expected to be relatively modest (5). Notably, although few of the prepandemic serum samples tested had evidence of antibody titers >40 to any of the swine H1 viruses, the convalescent-phase serum sample of most persons had detectable antibody titers to other influenza viruses: CS (H1N1) Sw4167 (93% seropositive at a titer of >40; geometric mean titer [GMT] 121.9) and Sw1304 (86%; GMT 107.7); TRIG Sw1110 (75%; GMT 50); EA SwNS29 (46%; GMT 40), and an antigenically variant EA virus from Hong Kong that had acquired a nonstructural gene segment from TRIG virus by reassortment (57%; GMT 53) (Table).
Because Hong Kong is a heavily urbanized environment, exposure of the study volunteers to live pigs during the 7-month study period is unlikely. Thus, the seroconversion to swine influenza viruses observed is not likely to be caused by infection with other swine influenza viruses. Notably, only 11% of these persons had neutralizing antibody titers to the EA virus SwG112, isolated in Ghent, Belgium. The difference between the EA viruses in Asia and Europe in this regard is worthy of further study. Because the hemagglutinin of EA virus is of avian origin, it is expected to cross-react poorly with subtype H1 of human or CS (derived from the 1918 pandemic H1 virus) derivation. What was unexpected was the observation that EA viruses isolated in China appear to manifest greater serologic cross-reactivity with pandemic (H1N1) 2009. Notably, little cross-reactivity occurred to 2 avian subtype H1 viruses isolated from wild birds in Hong Kong (data not shown).
A Poisson regression model of age as an indication of exposure for titer was used to look for evidence of age effects in both baseline and follow-up serum samples. The raw titers t (from the scale [<20, 20, 40, 80, …]) were transformed to outcome variable x (from the scale [0, 1, 2, 3, …]) in the following way: first, values of <20 were assigned the value of 10. Second, titers were divided by 10 and the logarithm taken (base 2). We used an uncorrected 95% statistical significance to test for preliminary evidence of an age effect. In the prepandemic serum samples, increasing age was significantly associated with increased antibody titers for pandemic (H1N1) 2009 (0.087; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.002–0.720) and for TRIG virus 1110 (0.036; 95% CI 0.0009–0.062). Conversely, a significant negative relation with age for seasonal subtype H1N1 virus was found (−0.039; 95% CI −0.057 to −0.022). No significant age effects were found for other viruses. This age effect was lost in postpandemic infection serum samples, with the exception of antibody titers to the seasonal subtype H1N1 virus, which still had a negative association with age.
In this study, we focused on defining the effects of seroconversion to pandemic (H1N1) 2009 on serologic cross-reactivity to other swine subtype H1 viruses. The next step should be to ascertain herd immunity to these swine influenza viruses in different population groups. We chose not to do this at this stage because the pandemic virus is still circulating among human populations, and seroprevalence is likely to continue to increase in different age groups over the next few years. Therefore, studying the effect of seroconversion to pandemic (H1N1) 2009 on cross-reaction to other swine influenza viruses would provide more meaningful information at this stage.
The results of our study suggest that the spread of pandemic (H1N1) 2009 in the population is broadening the serologic cross-reactivity and immunity in humans to other swine influenza viruses. However, gaps in immunity to selected swine influenza subtype H1 viruses remain (e.g., Sw112), at least as ascertained by neutralization antibody titers. We recognize, however, that neutralization tests do not capture all aspects of herd immunity in a population. Thus, our findings only serve to focus attention on the need for further study of population immunity to viruses such as Sw112. In general, these findings highlight the need for enhanced global surveillance of swine influenza viruses for the systematic assessment of human herd immunity to novel swine strains and to facilitate the development of routine (evidence-based) procedures for the ranking of known strains in terms of their pandemic risk.

Scientist gets funding to build experimental Arctic sea ice chamber
The Arctic is a harsh place, with subzero temperatures and rapidly changing weather conditions. That can make it difficult for researchers to conduct controlled experiments. But Roland von Glasow, a professor at the University of East Anglia who studies the chemical reactions between Arctic sea ice and the atmosphere, has a solution: He plans to build an 8-meter-cubed model Arctic Ocean at his university, where he can study how sea ice reacts with the atmosphere from the comfort of his laboratory.

WASHINGTON - House appropriations and tax committees yesterday described several municipal bond initiatives among the $550 billion of spending provisions and $275 billion of targeted tax cuts to be included in economic stimulus legislation, which lawmakers hope to take up beginning next week.
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Plan's muni bond provisions would repeal the alternative minimum tax for new private-activity bonds, allow financial institutions to purchase more municipal bonds, and authorize additional tax-credit bonds. They would also provide $30 billion for highway and bridge construction, $8 billion for clean and drinking water state revolving funds, and $1 billion for community development block grants.
The tax provisions would authorize clean renewable energy bonds, qualified energy conservation bonds, and tax-exempt and tax-credit bonds specifically for areas with high unemployment, foreclosures, or poverty. They would as well provide a taxable option for governmental bonds and a one-year deferral of the law requiring state and local governments to withhold 3% of payments to government contractors for taxes.
"This recovery package will provide tremendous tax relief," said House Ways and Means Committee chairman Charles Rangel, D-N.Y. "We have ... designed specific provisions to help state and local governments fund critical infrastructure projects to improve our roads, schools, bridges, and airports, while also maintaining and creating good-paying jobs for working families."
The bill will be introduced soon and the committee is expected to vote on it next Thursday, the same time the Senate Finance Committee is expected to take up its version of the tax package, which has not yet been released.
Republicans complained yesterday that they were not consulted about the tax provisions and were still unaware of their details.
"It certainly makes up in length what it lacks in details," said David Camp, R-Mich., the committee's ranking minority member.
Nevertheless, municipal market participants seemed generally pleased with the muni bond provisions.
"Based on the summary information released today by chairman Rangel, it appears the House package includes several provisions related to municipal bonds that could help jump-start the market," said Scott DeFife, senior managing director of government affairs for the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association. "It appears these include suggestions that SIFMA and other market participants made to ensure that states and local municipalities have the ability to build projects despite the difficult fiscal situation they face."
Rangel's package would repeal the AMT, which applies to interest earned on private-activity bonds and some governmental and 501(c)(3) bonds, from all new PABs issued after the legislation's enactment. Market participants have long complained that the AMT, which is designed to ensure wealthy individuals and corporations do not have so many tax breaks that they pay no taxes, is costly to bond issuers.
The provision that would allow financial institutions to purchase bonds is believed to refer to an increase in the tax code's so-called bank deductibility limit to $20 million from $10 million to allow banks to buy more muni bonds, sources said.
Under the current provision on bank deductibility, banks are allowed to deduct 80% of the costs of purchasing and carrying tax-exempt bonds issued by states and localities whose annual bond issuance does not exceed $10 million. Muni market participants have been pushing to raise the annual limit to $30 million. .
The bill also would include proposals to authorize more school construction bonds, clean renewable energy bonds, and qualified energy conservation bonds, but the specific amounts were not disclosed.
Another provision would authorize tax-exempt and tax-credit bonds for so-called recovery zones. These bonds could be used for a wide variety of economic development projects, including job training and education. A recovery zone would be an area within a state, city, or county that has exhibited high unemployment, foreclosures, or poverty. The bonds would be allocated automatically to states and large municipalities based on the number of unemployed individuals within that area.
Susan Gaffney, director of the Government Finance Officers Association's federal liaison center, said GFOA is appreciative of many of the provisions included in Rangel's package. However, the group hopes to permanently repeal instead of delay the provision that would implement a 2005 law requiring state and local governments to withhold 3% of any payments made for property or services. Government groups including GFOA have strongly opposed the law, calling it an unfunded mandate on state and local governments.
"While a one-year deferral is appreciated, state and local governments have been strongly encouraging Congress to repeal the withholding tax on government contractors, and are hoping that a full repeal can either be incorporated into stimulus or in another piece of legislation this year," Gaffney said.
Sources said the provision that would provide a "taxable bond option for governmental bonds" may allow state and local governments to opt to issue taxable bonds in exchange for a cash payment.
In 1994, several government groups, including GFOA and the National Association of Counties, discouraged then-President Bill Clinton from considering such a provision in a legislative package for infrastructure financing. The groups were concerned issuers would not be able to rely on Congress to consistently renew appropriations for the subsidy, especially as congressional lawmakers struggled with the federal deficit.
Meanwhile, the House Appropriations Committee also unveiled its spending portion of the recovery bill. Chairman Dave Obey, D-Wis., hopes to hold a markup session on the proposal Wednesday. The Senate Committee on Appropriations had not released details on its proposal as of yesterday.
Under the House Appropriations package, clean water state revolving funds and drinking water state revolving funds would receive $6 billion and $2 billion, respectively, for states to provide low-cost loans to localities.
Funds would be distributed to programs that already exist, using current formulas. The House Appropriations proposal would create a seven-member Recovery Act Accountability and Transparency Board to monitor spending and management of the funds.
The package also would include $32 billion for transportation projects, $30 billion of which would pay for highway and bridge construction. It would also provide a total of $32 billion for an energy overhaul that would modernize the nation's energy grid and help to develop battery technology for low-emissions vehicles.
The proposal would provide $6.9 billion in block grants to state and local governments for investments "that make them more energy efficient and reduce carbon emissions," as well as another $1.5 billion that would be pledged for grants and loans to local governments, municipal utilities, and schools for energy efficiency and sustainability projects.
An additional $6 billion would be provided for broadband Internet expansion in rural and under-served areas.
The committee would authorize $1 billion in grants for new commuter or light rail, $1.1 billion to expand and speed up intercity passenger rail service, $8 billion for transit systems and buses, and $3 billion for airport improvement grants. The airport grants are used to back bonds or in conjunction with other revenue sources such as bond proceeds.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said the recovery legislation will contain no earmarks, or targeted funding for pet projects that lawmakers slip into spending bills.

There is never a guarantee that eating a variety of healthy foods will help improve your eyesight, but at the end of the day, it cannot hurt, right? If you are looking for a range of foods that are shown to provide benefit for eye health, here are 5 to get you started.
1. Carrots
No, carrots won't give you super-vision or even 20/20 vision, but the beta-carotene it contains will help maintain proper eyesight. The body converts this nutrient to vitamin A, which helps fight blindness.
2. Blueberries
The antioxidants in blueberries are thought to be responsible for protecting vision by preventing free radical damage.
3. Almonds
Almonds contain vitamin E, which can assist in preventing cataracts. Other sources of vitamin E include sunflower seeds, safflower oil, peanuts, mango and eggs. Eating almonds can be further improved by activating them. You'll find more hints here.
4. Green, Leafy Vegetables
Kale, cabbage and spinach are all great for improving or maintaining healthy vision.
5. Cold Water Fish
Fish like salmon and sardines contain omega-3 fatty acids, which can help protect the blood vessels in your eyes.

MASTERS OF EVERYTHING. So, Larry received his Masters and I requalified in the Beretta M9. There happened to be photos of both events. I look super tough in my flak jacket without plates and super cool Air Force issued flight suit pajamas. Sweaty. Once again, Larry, Harry Potter lookin' em eff. I think I would die happy today if someone photoshopped a lightsaber instead of a diploma. But a serious, badass intricate one from the Old Republic that you had to risk your life and prove you weren't crap. Like venturing into hella dangerous hidden crystal caves on Dantooine and fight Kinraths n' shit and BUILD yourself your OWN lightsaber that responded to your personal traits and skills, not the crappy gold and purple lightsaber someone just machined at some crap Toydarian junkyard and gave to you. But, I digress.
LADIES! I am so pleased to see such a fantastic array of nominees for this year's Emmy awards. Larry and I have made a real effort to plug back into high-quality television, via DVDs, Amazon Prime, and Netflix. We don't subscribe to cable, but we use the internet to keep our monthly entertainment overhead low. Plus, signing contracts in the 2010s is so retro. For reference, here are the nominated shows we are up to speed with:
Boardwalk Empire
Downton Abbey
Game of Thrones
House of Cards
Mad Men
Orange is the New Black
Saturday Night Live
The first nominees are Outstanding Lead Actress in the Drama category — I have been an avid Downton Abbey fan since its inception, and Michelle Dockery is a master in portraying a hard, difficult woman of high breeding, yet you can connect with her soft heart that's hidden under all the layers of ice. I really can relate, and I appreciate her ability to do so in a believable way. Additionally, Robin Wright as an equally icy Claire in House of Cards is so beautiful and talented (and her wardrobe is to die for)… and it's so refreshing to see women in their forties and beyond recognized with relevant dramatic roles on television (well, Netflix). Claire and Francis are the ultimate power couple, and I am a fan of a high-speed, functioning, realistic child-free couple. I don't mean "We can't have a child", but child-free by choice. This is so refreshing.
For Outstanding Actress in the Comedy category — I will have to cater to Taylor Schilling's amazing performance in Orange Is the New Black. The nomination is for a comedy, but the show skates mostly in the drama category. Taylor's role is certainly more drama than funny lady, evidenced by the first episode of season 2. Let's hope those deciding the outcome of awards can recognize her talent to dance along the line of drama and comedy, giving her character depth not seen in the other ladies' performances. One episode you feel so terrible for her character, the next you are screaming at the television for her character's blatant idiocy. For supporting, I haven't seen enough of these shows to make a judgment call, but Red is quite a strong force to be reckoned with, and the viewer is left wanting to know all about this mysterious russkie. I also appreciate half the guest actresses nominations are from Orange, and I really, really appreciate Laverne Cox being the first transgender actress nominated. Did you know she has a twin brother who plays her male counterpart, pre-operation role? Holler! And lastly, Natasha Lyonne's character makes me want to be best friends with her. I love her hair.
For supporting actresses, Downton Abbey has a competition between the Dowager Countess and Anna Bates (two more strong female characters… awesome!). However, my vote goes to Game of Thrones for Cersei Lannister. Her rollercoaster antics and legendary manipulation seem effortless. Additionally, I feel that Game of Thrones also deserves to scoop up the Guest Actress in a Drama with Lady Olenna's performance definitely winning out over Kate Mara's very short-lived portrayal of Zoe Barnes in House of Cards (and the fact that I find that character infuriating, disappointing, and ridiculous on the whole).
WHO, WHAT? The strangest thing to me a couple days ago while catching up with my neighbor. She mentioned I was "outdoorsy". I can honestly say that's never been used to describe me. At all. But I supposed living here in Louisiana, it could be true. I bought a new beach cruiser bike and ride every day, and walk my dog every day, too. I do every 5K that I can, and for some weird reason, I'm trying to incorporate more fitness into my life. I hate team sports with a passion, but running, cycling, swimming, yoga, are things that suit me. The "leave me alone" workouts.
EYEROLL. When I am searching for recipes online, I cringe whenever I see "kid-approved eats". Since when do kids get to decide what they eat and don't eat? There's no such thing as "kid-approved eats". Kids need to eat whatever their parents want to eat. You're five. You don't do anything for anybody or pay rent or pay for groceries or further current society in any way, shape, or form. STFU and eat.

I was seeing a man, on and off, for a year. We broke up two months ago. Two weeks after the split I sent him a text telling him that I had no hard feelings and that I wished him well. He didn't respond at the time. 3 weeks ago I got a text in the afternoon that said, "Glad you feel that way, I hope you're doing well." Like he had that text save this whole time and just now replied to it. I texted back, "I'm fine. I hope you're well too". He didn't say anything after that. This past Friday night he texted, "how are you?" I said "I'm fine, how are you?" He didn't say anything again.
I was telling my bother about this and he said that I opened the door for him to try to get back together because I basically said I wasn't mad at him by replying. I'm not sure if I agree with that since he didn't respond to me when I asked him if he was ok. If he wanted to get back with me wouldn't he have started a conversation instead of showing up after 2 months and running away?
Most Helpful Guy
he's trying to get you to express the desires of getting back together, hence why he goes silent, in the hope you will make an effort to keep the convo going. Yes in a way you did sow the seed, but he's the one whos trying to get you to water it also. My advice would be to ignore his text for a while and see if he starts making an effort, this way you will know his intentions, x11|00|0

Hacker group that hit police says it's disbanding
LulzSec released police personal info, some speculate they now fear police investigation
Spokane Spokesman Review
NEW YORK — A publicity- seeking hacker group that has left a trail of sabotaged websites over the past two months, including attacks on law enforcement and releases of private data, said Saturday it is dissolving itself.
Lulz Security made its announcement through its Twitter account. It gave no reason for the disbandment, but it could be a sign of nerves in the face of law enforcement investigations.

Sometimes you get so caught up in making sure your house looks pretty you kind of forget that at the end of the day, this is a place where two young twenty five year olds are just having fun!!! We dont want to make it all 'propah' and boring, because we have the rest of our lives to make it that. So the house usually has some fun, quirky knick knacks to make sure there is a little bit of humour everywhere we go!
For example, when you enter my house this is the first thing you will see(right after an extremely ugly entrance way which i am re-doing a the moment)
Yes, a doormat which warns the guests that there is a crazy hyper decorating lady inside this home! BEWAREE!!! Haha, i thought it was so fun, I didn't even mind that it poked fun directly at me. No matter who enters the house , this is an immediate ice breaker..
When we were ;looking for key holders, there were a ton of really pretty , carved ones i saw. Then i chucked all those pretty ones and got this little block of green wood that says "Dil Ki Chaabi" and looks exactly like the back of a truck!!! I love it !!! I love how funky and bright it is and how a simple thing like a key holder can make a statement! It even has that Horn Ok Please written on it!
Then we have a yummy, gooey chocolate slab thats always on top of fridge to feed our hunger pangs..
Oh wait.. thats not a chocolate slab- thats a diary!!
Haha. The diary is used for a rather unglamorous purpose of jotting down how many clothes have been given to the ironing lady, but that annoying little chore becomes a little less annoying with a chocolate diary in your life! Plus whenever my brother visits me he is like- ooh chocolatee and then the look on his face when he discovers its a diary is just priceless. *Evil*
What is this you ask? This thing below is a rather genius invention for parties. You see this my friends is an ice tray. The ice gets formed in the shape of guitars with the plastic things attached to it like the guitar handle (is that what you call it?). The absolute genius thing about this is that its a stirrer and ice cube in one- you just drop the guitar into your drink and the handle becomes the stirrer while the guitar body is the ice which cools your drink!!!! Bring this out at a party, and people think you are a domestic diva or something :p
There are a ton of other things here and there with a little bit of quirk – but lets leave something for later shall we?
The doormat and the key holder were purchased from www.happilyunmarried.com , and the rest of the stuff is all online shopping from those daily sales kind of websites!

The Valley Grange driven collaboration called "GrowME" actually ended up visiting over sixty classrooms and worked with somewhere between eight and nine hundred children! In addition to Valley Grange, Piscataquis County UMaine Extension and Piscataquis County Soil and Water Conservation District participated in the week-long initiative to create agricultural literacy in the classroom. (Webmaster note: Website subscribers will need to visit the site to view this video.)
An earlier story by WABI TV-5 features Ernest Rollins of Garland Grange… Rollins Orchards donates all of the apples we use in this activity designed for first grade.
Kindergarterners create a graph of their class's favorite farm animals and third grades make "dirt babies." Additional information about the collaboration and activities is available on the GrowME and Valley Grange websites.


text: From all reports he had another very good game yesterday. I know alot of people are pushing for Lyon to move back to 5/8 but i feel he best serves the team at centre. I'd persist with Bailey atm, but if injury occurs or he continues his indifferent form, i'd slot Foran straight in rather than moving Lyon or G Stewart Also sort his contract ASAP

The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Hi guys, this is my first guide and i hope you like it.You can look my EU West account:CookieburnZ .I know i am not the best but i´ll try to make you happy with this guide!I hope you enjoy
Pros / Cons
-Nice jungler / -Cant jungle without blue buff
-All the worlds cc / -Need some dmg for jungling
-pretty tanky / -If you´re not tanky you lost
-nice escape / -If you miss ulti you can lose the fight
-can turn around fights /
For runes i take full ap runes for an early burst and for faster clearing the jungle so you can gank early and give your team First Blood.I tryed it and it worked pretty well
For masteries I take 4 12 14 for some mana regen and movement speed in utility some armor and magic resist in the defense and cooldown reduction in the offense tree.It is a good tree i think cause you have everything you have lower cd on your W so you can almost spam it that mana regen helps you in jungle when u have no blue buff movement speed, well who doesnt like to be fast?
The Armor for jungle and magic resist for ganking mid or a annoying teemo in the top lane :)
My item build is pretty offensivly and tanky aswell so when you gank you do nice dmg and the adc picks up the kills or you get the kills and rush your build and be tanky as hell and finish the game.When you got rylais the game is over because you got another nice slow for your skills and your enemies will just be so annoyed of it then get more tankyness with your sunfirecape another AOE dmg not high but its nice and i get boots of swiftness for faster running between lanes or jungle camps its good for chasing down enemies aswell.
The farming for sejuani is easy because its obviously normal jungling but if you want to clear out a lane just jump in with your Q and instant W make sure all of the minions got the passive from your E before you activate it and voilá a cleared lane for pushing a tower.
That was my guide for sejuani hope you liked it rate it and comment for something i could do better nexttime

Research in Motion had earlier announced the launch of five new Blackberry phones that is supposed to be launched in succession, one after the other. Initiating the chain release of the new Blackberry phones, the Blackberry Colt will be out in the stores by the next year. The rumor about the release was confirmed true when the news regarding the launch was found on a trust worthy website.
The new Blackberry phones are said to have a QNX operating system. The device will be having a single core processor. The QNX software is reportedly obtained last year from Harman International. It is expected to replace the current OS adopted in the Blackberry phones but it won't be a sudden change and might take a while, calling the fact that it was not too far since the advanced operating system powered Playbooks were made available to the world by the company. This is supposed to be the main reason why the Playbook is not quoted to have an email client.
Image which has been spreading under the Blackberry Colt name has featured a new re-modified front display with custom menu options and popup drawers. It is found to have a larger screen display from the conventional Blackberry handsets. The menu columns in the front display can be slided to either side accordingly and also the bottom space is lined with a menu strip bar with four icons representing the media, favorites, games and default. All menu options can be now easily accessed and it is easy to navigate to different utility regions. This is possible as each of the icon tabs has its own sub menus and short cuts to other variety applications like the gallery menus consisting of recorder, camera function etc. The application world pre coded in the Blackberry Colt phone allows the user to search for particular Blackberry applications which makes the interactions much easier with the gadget.
Though the novelty of the image is not verified by any authority concerned, it can't be expected utterly to be the phone we are talking about, although the features and specifications discussed are related to the Blackberry Colt. The image spreading under the concerned title may or may not be part of the actual model, now that it's already clear that there are models coming under the same category but yet to be released. Word is that, the engineers at RIM are monitoring the prototype model of Blackberry Colt, made to run with a single core Processor.

We spoke with the young star of the ABC sitcom as he gears-up for Season 2.
Project Runway mentor Tim Gunn says he's 'conflicted' about the inclusion of transgender models in fashion campaigns, citing bone structure.

Welcome to our new blog. We are going to give you an insight into what happens behind the scenes at a charity shop. It isn't all just putting clothes on racks!
I am Gill Perkins, the CEO of Wandsworth Oasis – a charity which helps people affected byHIV. Last year the charity donated over £130,000 to various projects – mainly in London - to support vulnerable people living with the virus as well as to prevention and awareness raising projects. Our two primary objectives of raising money to support people living with HIV in the borough and assisting the HIV prevention agenda, are vitally important, but so too is our commitment to minimising our environmental impact. We pride ourselves on sending as little as possible to landfill. I will tell you more about that in my next blog.

Here's a post which I know many of you have been waiting for. Myself included. It's about time the amazing Swedish single malt whisky known as Mackmyra has been represented on the big screen. And what better film to feature the Mackmyra than The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo?
At first I thought I was looking at a bottle of Bruichladdich as the shape is very similar. It wasn't until a few days after the original screening that several people including Lars Lindberger from Mackmyra distillery corrected me.
The sighting takes place at the 1:56 mark in the film. There is also a Cragganmore sighting at 1:13 which I have included in the same video below. Click here for the previous Cragganmore sighting.
P.S. I had to do a little bit of tricky editing to avoid any spoilers.

Teaching Tip: Lying
Lying by students is a problem most teachers encounter, especially elementary school teachers. A student who lies occasionally is not a major problem. A student who lies often is a major problem. Students may lie for a number of reasons. They may want to avoid the consequences of owning up to something, they may want to cover up a mistake or failure, or they may simply want to gain attention. Whatever the reason, there are some things you can do to minimize lying by your students.
Be sure to model honest behavior yourself. Acknowledge a mistake of your own or apologize for something you do or say that is inappropriate.
Recognize the student when he or she is truthful. If a student does something wrong but admits it, focus more on the student's being truthful than on punishing the student in some way.
Don't ignore a lie. If a student lies and is not challenged about it, that student is likely to tell an even bigger lie the next time.
React calmly to a lie. If you overreact, the student will likely feel resentful, and may resolve to do a better job of lying in the future.

and 2015 USPS Plant Consolidation Schedule Updated November 7, 2014
The graphic above shows changes for Wausau, Wisconsin P & DF in the last two weeks. Stamford P & DC reflects the other update for November 7, 2014.
Last month the USPS Office of Inspector General (OIG) issued a report "Lack of Service Standard Change Information in Area Mail Processing Feasibility Studies." The report (Oct. 8, 2014) stated :
The Postal Service has not analyzed the impact of planned service standard changes or informed stakeholders of the changes related to Phase 2 consolidations. Specifically, management did not complete the service standard impacts worksheet in 91 of the 95 AMP feasibility studies. The other four feasibility studies did not include updated service standard changes in the service standard impacts worksheet (see Appendix A). The worksheet should detail the upgrades and downgrades between 3-digit ZIP Codes4 by class of mail5 and volume.
Fast Forward (Oct. 27, 2014) :
Approximately three weeks ago a USPS representative, after being questioned about the USPS OIG's report, the closing of Tucson, AZ 's Cherrybell processing center and others across the country , was quoted as saying:
Sarah Ninivaggi, a public relations representative with the Postal Service, said the closures will go ahead, but impact studies – including one on Cherrybell – will be conducted starting in January. She said her organization disagrees with the inspector general's finding that it didn't comply with requirements to inform the public of its plans.
The Cherrybell plant WAS scheduled for closure April 18, 2015 but USPS has quietly changed the move date to July 11, 2015.
There were several articles on the closure of Redding, CA CSMPC to West Sacramento CA scheduled for January 10, 2015. But USPS has quietly changed the move date to April 18, 2015.

Coffee Bubble Tea
JustAPlaneRideAway | Oct 01, 2010 | Comments 15
I used this recipe to start, but I didn't really want to open a can of sweetened condensed milk just for two drinks. So here's what I did:
Boil the tapioca pearls according to the directions (mine took about 5 minutes). You only need about 1/8 cup per drink, unless you want to be REALLY full.
1 shot espresso with 1 teaspoon sugar (or to taste), stir over ice then add enough cold milk until it looks right (I used semi-skim).
Put the tapioca in the bottom of a glass, pour in coffee mixture, add a bubble tea straw and enjoy!
Bubble tea drinks aren't as popular on this side of the pond, but Roxi and I did find a place in London that makes them (mmm mango coconut!). How fun is it that we can make this at home, though?!
Have a great weekend everyone! Do you have anything special planned? Roxi has music school on Saturday but Sunday, we don't have a single thing planned. Hurray!!

I have never heard of this before. What does the tapioca do to the drink?
The weekend for us? Hmm. Don't know the high is only going to be 87 degrees so maybe we'll use the fireplace. No, really, I've been wanting to go to this place
Hopefully it'll happen.
Looks very delicious but i've never heard of it before, too.
This weekend: heading out to Loèche-les-Bains for a girly weekend, thermal baths, eventually some massage, food and laughter. I'm going with four girlfriends, it's gonna be a lot of fun :-)
I have a braai tomorrow at Ste's brother's wife's first cousin but I think it is going to become a 'cook South African-type meat in the oven' type exercise.
I usually like all of your culinary suggestions but this sounds yucky. I remain opened to being convinced otherwise though!
Hmmm. I've never heard of bubble tea, but it looks interesting!
I never heard of this before! I don't get the "tea" part of the drink? Oh you are so exotic, my friend! :D
that looks so good and refreshing and very professional. Nothing exciting planned here this weekend!
That is so cool!
it's so delicious. I love bubble tea. I tasted bubble tea in Canada. I'd love to find it in Brussels. If someone knows an address. Please let me know. BYE maud

I am still in the "foundation building phase" of my training regimen. I am definitely finding the tedium of not climbing routes and problems at my limit to be a challenge, but I keep reminding myself that this often overlooked phase is critical to getting stronger. I am now looking at the effects of blood glucose levels in regards to various aspects of my training:
This past April (2011) I sustained a grade III rupture of my A2 pulley in my ring finger, left hand. I definitely lost a lot of strength since I had to completely stop climbing for most of the summer and then once I started again, I had to really baby it. The tendons in your fingers are very delicate and CANNOT sustain the "climb through the pain" approach that we tend to confer onto knees and shoulders and the like! The good news is that a debilitating injury is not the end of the road IF you let it heal properly (translation: REST REST and more REST combined with BG management!). My goal was to avoid having to tape this injury after it healed and so far, so good–it feels about 90% solid. I am confident that the blood sugar control I had over the summer helped the injury heal much faster and more thoroughly.
In regards to blood sugar, I feel like 140-160 seems to be the ideal range for climbing and training because there is enough there to not worry about going low when pushing it hard but it is still within a reasonable balance. Eating 2-3 hours before is a good fit for me–energy but no bloated, "full" feeling. I try and keep my pre-training meal small–usually a piece of fruit with a little yogurt and granola. Post workout I have a Clifbar "builders bar" (their protein bar) which is 20g of organic protein and 30 g of low GI carbs…These are definitely my recovery food of choice because they cover all the bases, and don't leave you feeling "heavy" like many protein shakes do.
I am on a sliding scale for Humalog (insulin) 1unit=10g of carbs. I dial it back a little since I am more sensitive after a workout–2units covers my Builder Bar nicely and even leaves a little left over for me to indulge in some Dunkin Donuts coffee and a handful of raw almonds! Taking insulin directly following a workout is tricky because I don't want to dip low, but having insulin in my system immediately (15-30 minutes) following the end of your workout provides an optimal environment for muscle growth and recovery. It has been a challenge to not be afraid of the lows; but backing off the dose has allowed me to get it right.
Avoiding lows: I always try and make sure that I eat more than 2 hours prior to training. This way my bolus has peaked and any lows are going to be much "gentler". I also snack on low Glycemic Index foods during my workout if its longer than usual to keep my blood glucose stabilized. Raw nuts are hard to beat–especially almonds. Post training, dial back the dose and eat a little more of a protein-rich food–and TEST after a little while to see what direction the BG is heading! This will help you anticipate a low, and correct it before it throws you off completely.
Next posting will be about a few specific exercises I am using to target my weak spots as I train for the 365 Challenge!

Not Really Possum Pie
Sasha Kamen
Don't ask me who dubbed this Possum Pie or why. But putting chocolate pudding, cream cheese, pecans, and whipped cream together in a pie shell... who cares what you call it besides to die for? This recipe dates from the 1950s. Interestingly, Possum Pie more recently morphed into a somewhat similar dessert known as "Better Than Robert Redford."
- 1
- 9" pie shell
- 1/4 c
- ground pecans
- 2
- (3-oz.) packages cream cheese
- 1/2 c
- powdered sugar
- 1 pkg
- instant chocolate pudding
- 1 pkg
- instant vanilla pudding
- 2 c
- cold milk
- 1/2 tsp
- vanilla extract
- 1/2 pt
- whipping cream, whipped
- 12
- pecan halves
How to Make Not Really Possum Pie
- 1Roll out pastry on 1/4 c. ground pecans before baking, or use store bought pie shell.
- 2Cream together powdered sugar and cream cheese until smooth. Set aside.
- 3Mix pudding mixes with milk and vanilla extract. Beat on low speed for two minutes.
- 4Spread cream cheese mixture on cooled pie shell and pudding mixture over cream cheese layer.

text: Yogurt is made by adding bacteria to milk and then letting it ferment. To start, the milk is heated to 200 Fahrenheit for about 10-30 minutes. Next, the milk must cool quickly to 112 Fahrenheit and mixed with a yogurt starter (which contains the bacteria). After everything is mixed the yogurt needs to be placed in clean containers and incubated for 4 hours at 100 Fahrenheit. After incubation the yogurt is placed in the fridge for approx. 10 days. Final step: eating your homemade yogurt!

SD card data logging
L.R.A posted a topic in GeneralHI EVERYONE, Long time no see. University has been hard, not time for anything. But I am back into the MCU world! And I am having some problems so I first would like to know if anyone ever tried this. I am using a SD card to save data with FATFS. The problem is that the MCU is also doing other stuff... I've been having writes of a few ms which is normal with FATFS. I am considering of course trying to write 512bytes at a time but also implementing DMA on the SPI. But I am not sure the DMA will help. It seems FATFS f_write and the port function disk_write, want to right away read or write more stuff into the card, meaning I would anyway have to wait the couple of ms... Am I wrong in this? (from what I've seen I probably have to directly write into the SD card after pre-allocating a file if I want the DMA to help)
MultiTasking ultrasonic and color sensor with MSP-EXP432 and Energia.
L.R.A replied to bluehash's topic in ProjectsJust 1 question, there can't be switch of context when pulseIn is occurring, correct?
Energia vs CCS vs LearningCurve vs Ability to control things...
L.R.A replied to curtis63's topic in GeneralHi @@curtis63 I would advise to use Energia. Use Energia libraries when you can. If you need some feature not supported by any Energia libraries (user submitted or core) then use more low level programming (using MSP register headers and things like that). This way you get a mix of both and spend the least time developing software. If you would like some debug power, CCS supports Energia sketches. That said I think you can do everything you want with Energia libraries. Note that some problems you might face are not language wise. Yes many times in CCS you use C instead of C++. But you can use C++ just fine if you want, after all you use it with Energia. The thing is, what you will find different is hardware configuration. See it like making a driver for a piece of hardware. 1. Can Energia robustly and without errors do the above things? It can but you of course have to code the MSP correctly for your purpose. 2. Am I wasting my time getting all of the above accomplished using Energia? For what I understood of what you want to do, you will save time using Energia libraries instead of MSP430 register programming. 3. Should I be using Code Composer Studio? You can use it if you need to use debug tools. Otherwise don't bother. 4. Having NEVER developed ANY controller level code outside of Arduino and Energia, what kind of Learning Curve am I looking at to accomplish the above things? If you are talking about implementing in register programming fashion it's a bit hard to start. You will have to understand about registers in general and then learn the MSP430 register (just the ones that you need) and how to access them (by using the names on the headers). When using register programming a Wire.begin() becomes multiple lines of code configuring registers. Not that hard but when you start it can be discouraging to configure them. You also need to learn how interrupts work and how to use them. It may seem a lot but there are very good workshops and resources for the MSP430. Being a TM4C user it makes me envious! But as I (and @energia) said, you should not need any of that 5. Where is the best place to start learning this? There are a ton of MSP430 tutorials and resources from the TI team. I know most for other MSP430s. Not sure if you can consult the cloud. It has a ton of the software and documents: https://dev.ti.com/ But here is a good one for the MSP430G2553. http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Getting_Started_with_the_MSP430G2553_Value-Line_LaunchPad_Workshop 6. Where is the best place to look for answers to MSP430 development questions? If you are really interested you can make some questions in this forum or TI E2E. btw, if you came from Arduino, remember all launchpads work with 3.3v and most don't have 5v tolerant pins, including the MSP430G2553. So if you are using i2c with a 5V slave, be careful if you use 5V pull-ups. Hope it helps
CC3200LaunchXL-UART Communication with external Microcontroller
L.R.A replied to shashank17's topic in Energia - TivaC/CC3XXXI have no idea about those particular examples. Usually when using Energia for that I only needed really simple stuff so I used Serial.available on the receiving end to check if anything was received. The serial library has a buffer and automatically stores what was received (of course there's a limit of how much you can receive before having to start emptying the buffer)
PowerBank has a project power supply - minimum current?
L.R.A posted a topic in General ElectronicsHi guys! I have a little problem here. So I want to make a robot with 2 servo motors. To make it small and easy to use for the kids at the club, I want to use a power bank to power everything. Well I've heard some powerbanks have a minimum current before they shut down. I don't want to use a resistor or a pulsed load to keep the powerbank on if that's the case. So I would like to know if anyone has had experience in using these powerbanks and knows it's good to use with just a microcontroler drawing power from it - the robot has servos but sometimes it can just be standing still. I'm thinking of using this ones (they need to be about 100x25x25mm or less) http://www.ebay.com/itm/USB-2600Mah-Portable-External-Battery-Charger-Power-Bank-for-Cell-Mobile-Phone-/141564208385?var=&hash=item20f5e26501:m:mjdVxgZQJgBThymbmYBeIUA If anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated

PowerBank has a project power supply - minimum current?
L.R.A replied to L.R.A's topic in General ElectronicsAt the very least there should be a sense resistor. You can increase it but then you limit the maximum current before it cuts off. If there is a voltage divider setting the minimum current, that would be awesome.
PowerBank has a project power supply - minimum current?
L.R.A replied to L.R.A's topic in General Electronics@@Fmilburn It arrived. Tested it and there seems to be a lower limit. I would estimate about 50mA. If you draw less than that it turns off... It will work for this little robot, I could have an LED in it flashing too. But it's a shame, can't use it for a project that only has a bluetooth device, a MCU and a IMU.

PowerBank has a project power supply - minimum current?
L.R.A replied to L.R.A's topic in General ElectronicsThe circuit seems to be pretty much the same for these ones. I don't think there will be any diference in this model relative to that protectiom. I asked a seller and he said there isn't such protection. So if it comes and there is, then I will ask for a refund based on that answer
PowerBank has a project power supply - minimum current?
L.R.A replied to L.R.A's topic in General ElectronicsThis will be mostly for using Arduinos and Launchpads like the TM4C with Energia so if 17mA is good then no problem Thank you very much. Then I might be able to order the whole bunch without having to ask for 1, test and then ask for the bunch
btw, using the flash should be easy. The problem is you have to erase an entire block to write it. The TM4C123 has blocks 1KB and the TM4C1294 is of 16KB. So you can for example simply erase an entire block and then write 1 word (or just byte? I don't remember how specific you can write) as data arrives. Since you erased the entire block you can do that. Problem is, if you want to go back and start over the block, or change a value, you have to erase the entire block! Just be aware if you end up using flash
Check Tivaware manual on what the functions EEPROMRead and EEPROMProgram take as parameter
Note that the EEPROM is kinda small compared to the flash. The TM4C123 has 2KB and the TM4C1294 has 6KB. You access it in blocks of 16 word. There is probably a example in Tivaware. Here is how I enable it: bool eeprom_good = false; if(!SysCtlPeripheralReady(SYSCTL_PERIPH_EEPROM0)) { SysCtlPeripheralEnable(SYSCTL_PERIPH_EEPROM0); while(!(SysCtlPeripheralReady(SYSCTL_PERIPH_EEPROM0))); } if(EEPROMInit() == EEPROM_INIT_OK) { eeprom_good = true; } return(eeprom_good); How I read it: uint32_t temp; EEPROMRead(&temp, address, 4); return temp; And how I write into it: uint32_t temp; uint32_t result; temp = value; result = EEPROMProgram(&temp,address,4); return(result);
help needed for dktm4c129x development board
L.R.A replied to sanjeev07's topic in Development KitsIt should be kinda compatible yes since the MCUs are similar (but just kinda), but I advise you to not get it. I advise you getting a launchpad and getting the components you need... You can add support to that MCU easily if you need, since it is similar to the currently supported tm4c129 launchpad
You can use internal EEPROM or the flash. The TM4C1294 should have more than enough flash, and the tm4c123 should be enough depending on your code size and data size.

L.R.A replied to Fmilburn's topic in General ElectronicsSigned too. I've been wanting to learn more on ROTS. Though with 7 classes I probably will only watch it later in vacation... (funny enough I will have real time systems this semester but not specifically RTOS)
I had exactly the same trouble a minute ago with a HC-05 xd
Also note that the programmer + TM4C can take up in total up to 150mA or something. Altough the programmer should not consume much while idle

Manchester City defender Micah Richards is winning his battle to be fit for Monday night's derby showdown with Manchester United, Goal.com has learned.
The City defender missed his side's 2-0 victory over Wolves at Molineux on Sunday due to a hamstring problem.
However, tests showed he was suffering from a tight hamstring rather than a tear and Goal.com understands that Richards was given the all-clear to resume training earlier in the week after a few days' rest.
Richards was outstanding for City in their 6-1 victory at Manchester United last October and he is expected to get the nod to start at right-back in the return fixture, ahead of Pablo Zabaleta, if Roberto Mancini is convinced he is fully fit.
The versatile Zabaleta has filled in at right-back for City's last two matches, convincing wins at Norwich City and Wolves, but Richards' power, athleticism and attacking abilities make him more of an offensive weapon than the Argentine.
Richards' form had tailed off since the first half of the season but he has been a key figure in the team's title challenge since.
The 23-year-old has started 23 of City's 35 league fixtures and was recalled to the England squad by caretaker boss Stuart Pearce in February after being frozen out under Fabio Capello.
