Good morning everyone. I hope you are all ready for Halloween! I awoke this morning to find the entire foot of snow we got last week had melted! I hope it's not too cold tonight so that we may get more than trick-or-treaters than last year.
I didn't hear back from the shop I had wanted to feature this week, so I thought I'd take the opportunity to show you around Milemarker 3. I decided the photography shop was just too crowded, so I moved my paintings into Milemarker 2, and everything else into Milemarker 3. It serves as the boutique I had originally intended to open with my mom, with a variety of items from us both.
I just added this set of Christmas cards. The image is one of my own, of a box of vintage ornaments my grandmother owned, that now go up on my parents' tree every year.
Mom's wine bottle cheese plates also reside at Milemarker 3. Each one is melted in a kiln and result in a unique serving dish. Some are flat and some are convex, some are blue and some are green, and some are plain and some are beaded.
Mom is also quite talented when it comes to sewing, and has a few of her original purse designs in the shop. The smaller ones, like in the first photo, are perfect for a special night out. There are larger bags, too, designed for day use. This one is tall and skinny and in such fun fabric. Mom's not one for neutrals, so if you like a purse that makes a statement, check out our shop.

Don't know what I am talking about? I wouldn't have either I until this year!
Pantone is a company who deal with creating accurate colours for consumers and manufactures. They have 2,310 colours to choose from so it can make it quite difficult when it comes to choosing which ones to use in products and design.
Each year they release a Pantone colour of the year, and this year it is the most beautiful colour combination of two colours.
Rose Quartz and Serenity
Aren't they beautiful? They work so well together, and guess what? They are my twins favourite colours!
Lily loves the pink
Sofia loves the blue
So I thought I could bring the two colours together in their bedroom.
As you can see the room was grey and pink to start off with, we have black furniture and cream carpet. We went for a bunk bed to give them more floor space to play in their room with. The less wiggly one goes on the top bunk!
We went for a blue duvet set and a very warm fluffy throw for Sofia on the bottom bunk.
Then a pink duvet set for Lily and a pinky tone throw for Lily.
They were so happy to have their own little zone and to cuddle up under their pink and blue items!
It makes me smile that even some of their teddies are in the Pantone colour tones too!
I went through a phase of making the girls some hair bows, I found some lovely ones that went perfectly with the Pantone colours. I love how well these colours work together.
I wanted to find a rug that fitted on the floor in front of their bed, they play a lot with their toys on the floor in front of their bed, so the carpet has got quite grubby, however this pink low pile rug works great. It is a little brighter pink than the Pantone colour but still looks lovely.
I also love their butterfly curtains, I love how the butterflies have so many colours in. I think I knew these two colours were going to be on trend this year don't you think?!
The girls were very happy with their new colours in their room and having their own colours in their own little areas.

Colne Cricket Club Launches Academy
Colne Cricket Club has today announced the launch of Colne Cricket Academy, aimed at attracting youngsters under the age of 16 in to the sport. The Academy's first event will be a three week Summer Camp during the school holidays.
The Summer Camp, which will run from August 12-30th has been funded by County Councillor Paul White, who awarded almost £1000 for the venture from his Local Members Grant.
Cricket Club Chairwoman Jane Williamson said: "We're delighted to launch this initiative as part of our future club development programme. We want to get more young people playing cricket and find our next generation of players for The Horsfield.
"Youth development is something I want to bring to the fore. The Academy will be led by our South African professional, Shadley van Schalkwyk, an ECB Level 2 coach, alongside Chris Gill and Brad Ramshead. They make a great team because they are all so passionate about developing our next generation and here at Colne we want to give the youngsters a real chance."
County Councillor Paul White added: "I was delighted to support this great Academy. The Summer Camp will not only get the young people of East Lancashire out in the summer, learning a sport and keeping healthy, but it will get people involved in the sport on a longer term basis and will also help parents with childcare during the summer holidays."
The Summer Camp will be open from 9am-5.15pm Monday to Friday between 12th and 30th August and will be hosted at The Horsfield, Colne Cricket Club's ground. It is open to boys and girls from 8-16years.
To book on the Academy Summer Camp go to www.facebook.com/ColneCricketAcademy. Academy brochures will also be distributed through all schools in Pendle.

New Left Review I/16, July-August 1962
Thomas Balogh
Post War Britain and the Common Market
If in the affairs of a man or a nation a time comes when all possible choices appear distasteful or fraught with grave danger, it is useful, indeed essential, to reflect on how one got into the embarrassment. Past choices, past mistakes, may well illuminate the problem more clearly than arguments about the present, for they will show the often unstated premises which brought the situation where it is. In the history of this country the choice, which is now after much prevarication more and more openly admitted, between entry into the Common Market and maintaining even a semblance of a cohesive Commonwealth (beyond Royal visits), is as grave as any. It seems the catastrophic end of disastrous policies. If not remedied, I feel confident that the choice, however it may fall, will lead to further discomfiture and decline.

Did Matt say this? I haven't heard that at all. If he said it I would really like to find out when and where because so many people seem to think this is a fact. What I did hear him say in an interview recently is that he had plenty of opportunity before this to get into the U.S., eg. - his former girlfriend was American and the Bank he worked for is an American Bank ... He didn't need Shayne for that (if in fact he even wants to live in the U.S.) And just cause he was in a movie put together while in university doesn't mean he wants to get into the entertainment industry as a career. Maybe he does, maybe he doesn't. I think it is all speculation and not worth getting worked up over IMO.Originally Posted by fan*addict;2970073;

When I marry my american husband..people said that I marry him for green card. Well..I refused to get a green card. For 11 years of marriage....lead to divorce because of that.

|Yes, quotes from Ibsen, in French, on the fabric wall above our bed. How cool is that?
Our hotel was perfect. It's rare that anybody can say that with complete sincerity, but in this case, there was absolutely nothing we would have changed.
The Pavillon des Lettres is a 26-room hotel, designed around the theme of authors. Rather than numbering the rooms, they assign each of them a letter (hence the 26 works our very well). Each room is then dedicated to an author who's last name begins with the letter of the room.
We stayed in Ibsen. It was very small by the American standard of "one must be able to square-dance in one's hotel room" (yet another reason to pack lightly!), but exquisitely designed, quiet, and comfortable.
Anybody who believe that Parisians are rude has never stayed at this hotel - these people were charming, helpful, and good-looking! If I wanted to practice speaking French, they were willing to correct my errors with good humor, and if I was too exhausted to speak at all, they knew what room we were in, and took care of us with unfailing kindness.
The location on the Rue des Saussaies was convenient to the Madeleine, the Champs Elysee, and the Louvre. Proximity to the Palais de l'Elysee (President's residence) meant that there was enough security in the neighborhood to make ANYBODY feel secure. And it seemed that every cab driver in Paris was familiar with the street, which was handy when I was too tired to get into a map-studying session with someone.
There's a bustling "American-style" restaurant just down the street, so there is some street noise at around closing time, but it's just enough that you feel like you're in Paris...
|Why yes, the entire bathroom DOES have a glass wall, etched with another Ibsen quote. There is a curtain which can be drawn if exhibitionist showering isn't your thing.
|The wall opposite the head of our bed. Free Wifi, a large-screen tv, a closet with shelves on the left and the hanging closet on the right. Yet ANOTHER reason to pack lightly...
|Across the street - the Department of the Interior. Abundant security in this neighborhood...
|Beautifully illuminated at night - a welcome oasis after a busy day!
And OH YEA!!!! breakfast in your room is included in your room charges, if you choose to bypass the breakfast buffet. Infinitely civilized...

Publicly expressing your opinion on the Washington Redskins name can be dangerous — especially if you are a wanted man. Jacob Close was arrested in Pennsylvania on Sunday, after previously jumping bail in New York on a drug and drunk driving case.
While maintaining a low profile might be best, sometimes it's just too tempting to tell that very original joke. "I think they should keep the same name, but change the mascot to a potato."
I think we've found the new social media coordinator for Daniel Snyder. [H/T: PFT, Romenesko]

So the first one here is pretty much SOOC except for a slight crop and messing with the tone curve a bit. But after I loaded it up onto flickr, the top line going off at an angle kinda looked weird to me. {} Grundig radio by Lukinosity, on Flickr So then I took it into Photoshop and leveled off the Grundig, but now I feel like it's a littl odd because I feel like there still enough context for the eye to understand that this was shot at an angle with the radio "going away" from the lens so it kinda looks weird to me now that the top is parallel to horizontal. So, it doesn't really matter....it's no great shakes....just a throwaway image eventually, but now I just can't tell which one looks more "right".

Veteran racer John Decerbo debuted his brand new Tim McAmis built 1968 Camaro sporting a three-speed automatic and a Neal Chance converter at the recent ADRL U.S. Drags III at Virginia Motorsports Park in Dinwiddie, VA, and in the process, proved that experience is an invaluable asset when trying to get a new car lined out and competitive from the get-go.
With only a handful of test hits on his new ride, Decerbo and team hauled to Virginia with the new Camaro in tow and unloaded with a stout 4.02 at 183.79 MPHin the opening round of qualifying that placed him ninth on the preliminary qualifying sheet. John then made the necessary adjustments and came out in the second round and powered to a blistering 3.998 at 184.90 MPH to lay claim to the very first three-second pass for a nitrous-assisted, automatic car in the ADRL. Unfortunately, a broken flex plate ended the great run before eliminations as Decerbo and crew weren't able to make the call to face Mike Castellana. Nonetheless, a statement had been made. Recent record-setting performance in the top tier ADRL categories, including Decerbo's 3.99, have proven the overwhelming validity of the automatic transmission and converter combination.
Decerbo's new McAmis '68 Camaro is motivated by a big block from Reher Morrison, and is backed by a Bruno air shifted three-speed transmission and a Neal Chance torque converter.

ASTM a234 wpb
ASTM A234 / A234M – 11a Standard Specification for Piping Fittings of Wrought Carbon Steel and Alloy Steel for Moderate and High Temperature Service
Abstract ASTM a234 wpb pdf
This specification covers wrought carbon steel and alloy steel fittings of seamless and welded construction. These fittings are for use in pressure piping and in pressure vessel fabrication for service at moderate and elevated temperatures. The material for fittings shall consist of killed steel, forgings, bars, plates, seamless or fusion-welded tubular products with filler metal added. Forging or shaping operations may be performed by hammering, pressing, piercing, extruding, upsetting, rolling, bending, fusion welding, machining, or by a combination of two or more of these operations. The forming procedure shall be so applied that it will not produce injurious imperfections in the fittings. Fittings, after forming at an elevated temperature, shall be cooled to a temperature below the critical range under suitable conditions to prevent injurious defects caused by too rapid cooling, but in no case more rapidly than the cooling rate in still air. The fittings shall be subjected to tension test, hardness test, and hydrostatic test.
This abstract is a brief summary of the referenced standard. It is informational only and not an official part of the standard; the full text of the standard itself must be referred to for its use and application. ASTM does not give any warranty express or implied or make any representation that the contents of this abstract are accurate, complete or up to date.
1. Scope
1.1 This specification covers wrought carbon steel and alloy steel fittings of seamless and welded construction covered by the latest revision of ASME B16.9, B16.11, MSS-SP-79, MSS-SP-83, MSS-SP-95, and MSS-SP-97. These fittings are for use in pressure piping and in pressure vessel fabrication for service at moderate and elevated temperatures. Fittings differing from these ASME and MSS standards shall be furnished in accordance with Supplementary Requirement S58 of Specification A960/A960M.
1.2 Optional supplementary requirements are provided for fittings where a greater degree of examination is desired. When desired, one or more of these supplementary requirements may be specified in the order.
1.3 This specification does not cover cast welding fittings or fittings machined from castings. Cast steel welding fittings are governed by Specifications A216/A216M and A217/A217M.
1.4 This specification is expressed in both inch-pound units and in SI units. However, unless the order specifies the applicable "M" specification designation (SI units), the material shall be furnished to inch-pound units.
1.5 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. Within the text, the SI units are shown in brackets. The values stated in each system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in non-conformance with the standard.

Photos: John Mayer's exes – Happy birthday, John Mayer. The singer, who turned 35 on Tuesday, October 16, spent the big day with Katy Perry in New York City. Here's a look at Mayer's famous flings:Hide Caption 1 of 7 Photos: Katy Perry – After reportedly going their separate ways, it seems Mayer and Perry are hanging out again. Though neither party has confirmed they are, in fact, an item, they have been spotted out together quite a bit.Hide Caption 2 of 7 Photos: Taylor Swift – John Mayer and Taylor Swift were romantically linked in 2009 and 2010. In June, Mayer told Rolling Stone that Swift's track "Dear John" made him "feel terrible" ... "because I didn't deserve it. I'm pretty good at taking accountability now, and I never did anything to deserve that. It was a really lousy thing for her to do." However, Swift has never officially confirmed that the song is about Mayer.Hide Caption 3 of 7 Photos: Jennifer Aniston – Mayer dated Jennifer Aniston on and off in 2008 and 2009. "I've never really gotten over it," he told Rolling Stone in June. The breakup "was one of the worst times of my life."Hide Caption 4 of 7 Photos: Minka Kelly – Mayer reportedly dated Minka Kelly in 2007, as the two were seen strolling hand in hand. The actress has since been romantically linked to Derek Jeter and Wilmer Valderrama.Hide Caption 5 of 7 Photos: Jessica Simpson – Mayer and Jessica Simpson were first linked in summer 2006. They were photographed together at Christina Aguilera's New Year's Eve party, but broke up later that year.Hide Caption 6 of 7 Photos: Jennifer Love Hewitt – Mayer reportedly wrote "Your Body Is A Wonderland" about Jennifer Love Hewitt, whom he dated in 2002. In 2007, the actress told Entertainment Weekly, "My body is far from a wonderland. My body is more like a pawnshop. There's a lot of interesting things put together, and if you look closely you'd probably be excited, but at first glance, not so much."Hide Caption 7 of 7Powered by Livefyre

This saved me lots of trying with wifi connect and frustration
I dont rememebr which country, must have been UK since I had an account there.
Now I tried Bulgaria and I registered my TV, although unfortunatelly their support is in Bulgarian which I dont speak or understand, so I had some trouble registering but managed anyway. I cant usee their support if they cant speak English, still.
So I registered and got license key which I put in the media server+manager software.
Now the problem persists, I cant still cant share conent from my PC or net, to the TV. When I go to "My network" in my TV it says start media server and wait, and it searches for the media software but doesnt find anything, so I have to turn that off.
I ll give details again
My TV 42PFL4307H/12
its connected to the PC via hdmi and to my network via modem. They are both in the same network and the firewall has the software in the exeptions. I have Windows XP on my PC.
When I go to the Twonky server site it doesnt find my TV under devices and I cabt ping or share anything.
So I really dont know what else to try, and Bulgarian support cant help me since I dont speak their language (havent contacted them)
I am not sure if this is the right thread to post my problem, if not I am sorry and could you please tell me where to post this kind of problem.
Thank you again

Most people are pretty familiar with run-of-the-mill tummy troubles like constipation and diarrhea. You've probably also had the displeasure of experiencing food poisoning or a stomach virus at least once or twice in your life. While appendicitis is much less common, about 5% of the population eventually ends up with it, and if you fall into that unlucky group, you'll need to figure it out as soon as possible.
"If it is not treated, your appendix can rupture, which can be life-threatening," says Jennifer Caudle, DO, a board-certified family physician and assistant professor at Rowan School of Osteopathic Medicine.
(Reverse chronic inflammation and heal your body from the inside out with the natural solution in The Whole Body Cure!)
Not every case of appendicitis will lead to the organ bursting, but the longer the condition goes unchecked, the greater the risk. Here are some warning signs that warrant a call to your doc or maybe even a trip to the ER.

text: Seat-belts and child restraints in vehicles are among the "best buys" in public health. Wearing a seat-belt during a crash reduces the risk of being ejected from a vehicle and suffering serious or fatal injury by 40% to 65%. Children who are strapped in age-appropriate restraints are considerably less likely to die in the event of a road traffic crash than those who are unrestrained. Both seat-belts and child restraints are highly cost-efficient.

Great addition to Northbridge's small bar collection - reasonably priced with a good atmosphere.Our rating:
It seems as though every time we review a new small bar in Perth at least two more open their doors. One of the newest kids on the block is The Mechanics' Institute in Northbridge. Located just above (and owned by) Flipside Burgers on William Street. In true small bar fashion the entrance is hidden down the alleyway at the rear and can be a bit hard to find (hint: head south (towards the city) past Flipside, chuck a left on James St and its the first alley on your left).
I'd heard good things about Mechanic's Institute from a friend of mine, and seeing as though its owned by one of the better burger joints in Perth, I couldn't wait to check it out. The place looks great (once we eventually found it). The inside is pretty small with limited standing room, and only about five small tables - but there's plenty of room outside on the 'deck'. The only two issues we had with outside area were that there was insufficient shelter from the cold wind and showers (this wouldn't be an issue in summer, but it had been raining on-and-off all day), and also that the entire area is a 'smoking zone' - which can be annoying when you don't particularly fancy increasing your risk of lung cancer. The bar looks awesome, with dozens of interesting nick-nacks hanging around to keep you occupied while waiting for your drink - including a turtle skull!
We ordered a few cocktails, a mojito and a dark and stormy, at $14 each I wasn't expecting much, considering the average cocktail price in Perth is around $20 these days. They were both great, quality ingredients and just enough kick, if it wasn't a school night, both of us would've had a fair few more. Instead we opted for another pint and some burgers, which were convieniently delivered from Flipside below. The burgers were pretty decent although a little cold. However, when compared to our Flipside benchmark (Wembley), they were undoubtedly sub par.
Mechanics' Institute is a shining example of why WA's liquor licencing reform was a great idea and has done wonders for Perth as a city. Bringing in a wave of culture-rich small bars, a welcome change from Northbridge's bigger style pubs. Had they not been brought in, the area above flipside probably would've still been a vacant space left to rot away, instead it's now a bustling little bar with great atmosphere and even better drinks.
If you'd like to contribute your thoughts on this pub, then why not submit a review?

If your knee-jerk reaction to the idea of an airline that caters exclusively to furry passengers (especially in this economy) is, "When pigs fly!" think again.
Pet Airways
Because when Pet Airways takes to the skies this July, pet pigs and a whole menagerie of domestic animals will find themselves "pet setting" across the country in style.
This first pet-only airline is specifically designed for the "safe and comfortable transportation of pets." According to founder Alysa Binder, the first Pet Airways flight will depart July 14 from Teterboro, a small airport outside New York, en route to Washington, Chicago, Denver and Los Angeles.
"Seats" on a modified Beechcraft 1900 supplied under contract with Suburban Air will cost 149 dollars each way. Approximately 50 "pawsengers" can be booked on each flight and will travel in the comfort of their kennels stacked on custom-made shelves.
As the warmer months and the wanderlust that comes with them loom large, it only makes sense that we would want to consider including our fuzzy family members in the fun. Driving trips are the easiest to plan (since they can be somewhat spontaneous), but when long distances and limited vacation time is involved, it sometimes makes sense to fly.
Pet Airways
It's estimated that 76 million cats and dogs travel each year in the United States, including two million in airplanes. And air travel is no easy ride for domestic creatures. Each year, some 5,000 animals suffer injury while being transported, according to animal rights experts.
Once you've decided that you'll be jet setting with your pet, you'll want to research different airlines to find out how they handle pet travel, including any special restrictions and requirements.
Most allow cats and small dogs to travel in carriers with their people, and larger dogs to be checked as luggage. (Service dogs and other guide animals are allowed on-leash in the cabin.) But some airlines restrict other types of animals. For example, most airlines allow domestic birds in the cabin, but may restrict travel with poultry or birds of prey (which could put a damper on trying to fly with your pet chicken or hawk). Most airlines will only allow reptiles, amphibians, fish, and invertebrates to fly as checked luggage or cargo; some airlines will allow rabbits and other small mammals in the cabin. Primates, with the exception of service monkeys, are generally not allowed in the cabin.
Most airlines also place a cap on how many pets they will allow on any one flight. For this reason, it's wise to book your pet's ticket at the same time that you book yours to ensure you can travel together. If you will be carrying your pet into the cabin, extra fees usually apply, and your pet's carrier will count toward your carry-on luggage allowance. (If your pet will be flying as checked luggage or cargo, you will also likely have to pay a fee, but your pet will usually be counted separately from your luggage allowance.)
All airlines have restrictions for flying in extreme temperatures, although the actual temperature ranges can vary from airline to airline. If your airplane will be in a city where the temperature is forecasted to be less than 45 or 50 degrees F, you may be required to present a Certificate of Acclimation from your veterinarian, attesting that your pet is accustomed to low temperatures. If the temperature will be less than 10 or 20 degrees F, your pet will not be allowed to fly as checked luggage or cargo (nor would you want them to be).
In the summer, certain breeds of cats and dogs (mostly of the snub-nosed variety) are not allowed to fly if the temperature will be over 70 or 75 degrees F because they tend to be more susceptible to heatstroke and respiratory problems. All other breeds are restricted from flying as checked luggage or cargo at temperatures above 85 degrees F (29.5 degrees C).
If you are flying domestically, you will usually be required to present a health certificate and vaccination documentation from your veterinarian, depending on your destination. (Hawaii requires a health certificate, proof of vaccination, and quarantine.) For international flights, you will generally be required to present these documents, and your pet may be required to stay in quarantine. Check with the embassy or consulate of your destination for specific rules and requirements.
Most airlines will allow either hard or soft-sided carriers in the cabin as long as they easily fit under the seat in front of you. (This is no easy task in regular coach, so you may want to consider upgrading to a seat with more legroom). Your animal must remain in the kennel at all times. It may seem obvious, but it's super important that you give your pet plenty of time to get used to the kennel BEFORE you head to the airport. Including a favorite blanket, towel or t-shirt with your scent can also help to make your pet feel safe and more at ease.
Hard-sided kennels are usually required (and are also a safer choice for your pet) if your animal is flying as checked luggage or cargo. It's important to mark your carrier "Live Animal" and to indicate which side is up. Also be sure to check the airline website for the maximum size allowance; some airlines have a maximum weight limit for pets as well. Most airlines will not allow pets less than eight weeks to fly, and may have special recommendations for puppies and kittens as well. Older animals may be required to undergo a more detailed medical examination (such as liver and kidney screens) before getting the green light to fly.
Having your pet microchipped (if she's not already) in addition to making sure she is wearing a collar with your updated contact information is also recommended in case you are accidentally separated from your pet. And remember to bring your animal's leash or harness with you in your carry-on bag. (Leaving it in the kennel can lead to tangles and accidental injury to your pet.)
Most airlines and veterinarians discourage the use of sedatives. Always discuss your options with a trusted vet; medicating your pet without proper dosage instructions can be harmful and even deadly.
To help ensure a successful flight, you'll want to limit the amount of food you give your animal in the 24-hour period before the trip (especially for longer flights) and to take your dog on a long walk before and after. For international trips, the airline may require that you have a layover so you can give your pet time for a potty break and room to stretch her legs.
Placing a disposable litter box in the kennel can make your cat, rabbit or other small critter more comfortable. You'll also want to including Pee Pads or other absorbent material in case of "accidents."
Here is a list of popular airlines with links to their pet travel fees, restrictions and requirements:
If you don't find the answers to all of your questions online, don't hesitate to call the airline's toll free number. It's best to have all the information you need in advance of your flight to keep both you and your pet as happy and stress-free as possible.

In Upper El this semester students planted carrots, turnips, beets, radishes, rutabaga, kale, collards, cabbages, broccoli, Asian greens, lettuces, garlic, Daikon radishes, spinach, and fava beans.
They learned a lot and noticed many interesting phenomena in the garden. Students studied seeds, the many ways they grow, and they got hands on experience saving seeds during harvest time. They also harvested and experimented with a special seed/grain, Amaranth.
They noticed many of the insects and animals in the garden and the ways that these animals interact with nature, and how much the natural world depends on them. Students were very excited to observe a special guest, Speckles the hen, as she pecked, scratched, fertilized, and ate in the garden. This experience highlighted many of these interconnections between plants, animals, microbes, and insects.
Students studied soil and practiced the basics of making good compost. They measured seedlings as they grew and noticed the stages they went through. Students also learned about perennial plants and all of their benefits. They studied one in particular named comfrey and learned how it captured nutrients, suppressed weeds, and worked symbiotically with insects.
Students also put their muscles to work raking, mulching, maintaining tools, weeding garden beds, and building hoop houses for 4-season gardening.
They also used tools to build some wonderful storage shelves for our sweet potatoes. As it became colder they carefully put the beds to rest using fallen leaves and learned how layering in this way protects and enhances the soil ecology.
Students tasted herbs (stevia was a big hit,) persimmon, peppers, spinach, kale, purple leaf mustard, radishes, lettuces, turnips, okra, ground cherries, swiss chard and popped amaranth and corn kernels. In addition to all of these fresh foods they also experimented with frying okra, making pesto, making sweet potato fries and soup, pumpkin butter, and gypsy soup.

Who'da Funk It performance postponed to March 29
February 8, 2013
Filed under Arts & Living, Music
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Email This Story
In a town full of unique bands, genre-transcending ensemble Who'da Funk It manages to stand apart from the pack. Plenty of things make them a more diverse band than most, none of which define their image, musical style or lyrical content.
Who'da Funk It began when bassist Nina Kent, vocalist Deja Carr and guitarist Bess Hepner met almost four years ago at the Institute for Musical Arts, a non-profit program geared towards women and girls founded by June Millington of the 1970s all-female rock band Fanny.
The band featured an all-female lineup until last fall, but the departures of sax player Tess Domb-Sadof and drummer Emma Sevene heralded the addition of the band's first male members, keyboardist Alex Kogut and drummer Gabe Camarano. Katie Ronan also joined in on saxophone.
"We had to find new members and keep it going," said Carr.
"We wanted to make it into an orchestra," Hepner added.
The current lineup features saxophonist Ryan Mihaly and Sierra Brimhall on trumpet, bringing its total to eight members. Domb-Sadof and trombonist Parker Ziegler join in when they can over the summer.
In addition to having a predominantly female lineup, Who'da Funk It is also unique in its age range – vocalist Carr is a junior in high school, while saxophonist Ronan is a senior at the University of Massachusetts.
The band describes its writing process as "even more communal" now than with its original five-piece lineup. Songs often "start with a skeleton," Camarano said, or simple backbone of a song written by one member, while Ronan adds that others "(evolve) out of a jam."
Each member helps with the development of certain riffs or the structure of a song, and "… everyone's satisfied in the end," Hepner said. The band's sound is influenced by artists such as tUnE-yArDs and Parliament Funkadelic, as well as plenty of local bands like Bellas Bartok and Hot Dirt. They are also inspired by musical genres like Latin music, Afrobeat and jazz, which Ronan studies at UMass.
While the majority of the members are female, the band tries to focus on a different message in its music than just girl power.
"(We strive for) a message of love … for everyone that's in the room with you," Hepner said. "We didn't lose the female empowerment message."
"We're just people playing music," Kogut said.
Camarano said that while the band's female majority sets them apart from other bands, "… the challenge is trying to get over the status quo barrier … that most bands are comprised mostly of males."
Hepner said that "… at a lot of shows we play, someone will make a comment."
She explains that most people don't realize they are being offensive when they say things like "You were better than I thought you'd be" – the comment she said she hears most often.
The younger ages of its members has also presented a challenge to the band.
"We've been cheated out of getting paid more (for being younger)" Carr said. "Getting kicked out of places because (we're) not 21 …" is another challenge she explained.
But the members of Who'da Funk It face their adversities the best way they know how: by rocking.
"We don't confront the challenges physically," Camarano said "We just confront it with the music."
The band is known for its high-energy live performances. When writing songs or putting together a set list, the first question they ask themselves is: "What are (people) gonna want to dance to?" Ronan said.
"(The music is) a lot about having fun," Carr said. "We try not to detract from the audience."
Her favorite part about performing?
"Sweat," she said.
The band's second EP, "We Take It We Leave It We Love It," is available at whodafunkit.bandcamp.com. They will be promoting it with a few local shows and a possible tour with other local act Huckleberry Binge.
Tickets for their headlining show March 29 at the Iron Horse are $8 online or $10 at the door. The show will begin at 10 p.m. with a set from opening act Wishbone Zoe.

100 modern day fully-equipped US Marines (without heavy armor, air support, nukes, etc.)
5000 fully-equipped WoW era Alliance Military (not players). So mostly regular infantry, marksmen, cavalry, mages and healers. Occasional other classes.
The battle would take place in mountains. Marines have the first move.
Bullets kill just like in real life. Healers can heal non-fatal gun wounds, but they can't just stand in place and spam holy light, making anyone who doesn't instantly die invulnerable. Reviving is impossible. Rogues can't magically go invisible in the middle of desert. There are no levels or damage points. 40yd range limit is gone, etc.
Magic users are not omnipotent demigods. They can't just make themselves invulnerable or kill all the marines with a single spell. They're just regular Alliance footmages capable of casting Fireballs, Firebolts, some simple AoE and utility spells.
Who wins?

Utah Finally Fighting Horrific Animal Rights Record
Utah Senator Gene Davis (D-Salt Lake City) has been working with the Humane Society of Utah, the ASPCA, The Humane Society of the United States and Best Friends Animal Society to support the passage of three bills that will help protect animals in the state.
This legislative session, the senator will be sponsoring bills that would limit dog tethering, stop the sale of puppies and dogs in public places and make cockfighting a felony.
"We hope this unprecedented collaboration will lead to significant changes that will better protect the animals of our state," said HSU Executive Director Gene Baierschmidt.
The proposed legislation would make it illegal to tie a dog out anywhere for more than 10 hours a day, in addition to giving law enforcement officers the ability to access vehicles and remove an animal if they see one in distress.
"A life of being chained up isn't good animal husbandry," Seator Davis told the Salt Lake Tribune. "If you have your animal and it's a pet and is a part of your family, then make it a part of your family. You have to spend time with the animal and not keep it tied up all day."
The bill cracking down on puppy sales would ban people from selling or giving away dogs and puppies in public places, such as parking lots, with a $250 fine for first time offenders, while second offenses would result in a misdemeanor and a fine of up to $1,000.
According to Baierschmidt, this bill isn't intended to target responsible breeders, but to help stop impulse purchases that often result in pets being dumped at shelters after people change their minds. He estimated that state shelters get around 10,000 animals each year.
The bill banning cockfighting would make it a felony in Utah, which is one of ten states that don't currently have any felony penalties in place for offenders. A recent survey of residents conducted by Mason Dixon Polling & Research Inc. found that 70 percent would support such a move, while only 15 percent opposed tougher penalties.
"Affixing sharp blades to animals and forcing them to fight to the death for entertainment and wagering is a bloody spectacle that cannot be abided in Utah," said Deborah Foote, state director of ASPCA Government Relations for the Southwest region. "Weak penalties for cockfighting will make Utah a magnet for criminals. Compassion, as well as a desire for law enforcement's ability to address cruelty, drug use, gambling, prostitution and other crimes associated with cockfighting, should all motivate lawmakers to move S.B. 52 swiftly to the governor's desk."
The advocacy groups supporting these bills hope they will help animals and improve the state's ranking when it comes to animal protection laws. Last year Utah was ranked 46th in the Animal Legal Defense Fund's Animal Protection Law Rankings and 41st in the HSUS' 2012 Humane State Rankings.

Dan J Kroll, the brain trust and founder of Soap Central shared with On-Air On-Soaps why the Dankies differ from any other type of online award recognition for the genre: "For more than a decade, soapcentral.com visitors have helped to pick the best of the genre. Sure, daytime has the Emmys, but this is something more special. I think what makes the Dankies so special is that the fans are involved in every stage of the process — from the nominations to the finalists to the winners. There's no other awards process that allows this much fan involvement. "

As local golfers often say, "Only in the City …"
More than most tournaments, the San Francisco City Championship – one of the oldest municipal events in the country, in which players of all ages, backgrounds and occupations tangle – tends to produce distinctive stories. An especially strange and compelling tale unfolded last year, on the 18th green at Lincoln Park.
The details arrived in a recent e-mail from Noel Sherry of Los Gatos. Sherry played in the tournament in his younger days and returned last year, at 54. He advanced through qualifying and found himself engulfed in a tight, first-round, Open flight match against a 17-year-old from St. Ignatius High.
Sherry, a bit nervous as the match came down the stretch, was using a cart. He held a 1-up lead as he drove across the road separating the 17th green from the 18th tee at Lincoln – where he didn't see a bicyclist racing down to the hill to his right and suddenly emerging out of the late-afternoon shadows.
The cyclist barreled into Sherry's cart, flew off his bike and landed in a ditch. The paramedics soon arrived to treat him, and two police officers showed up to investigate. Sherry said he spent nearly an hour providing details to one of the officers.
He was not deemed at fault because he was in the crosswalk at the time of the accident. The cyclist apparently injured his shoulder, by the recollection of tournament director Mike Miller; Sherry only remembers the cyclist sitting on the ground and screaming at him.
At some point, after the ambulance departed, the police officer asked Sherry to meet him in a little while near the clubhouse. It's not entirely clear why the officer didn't complete the interview at the accident scene – but Sherry, in retrospect, probably should have mentioned he was going to finish his match.
He and the high school kid smacked their shots down No. 18. As they approached the green, Sherry, still shaken by the accident, found another jarring sight: The police officer angrily yelling at him.
"He didn't understand or care about my story of playing the 18th hole to finish the match," Sherry wrote in his e-mail. "I remember him saying, 'This is overtime for me. What the hell took you so long to get here?' "
Sherry and Miller tried to calm the officer, assuring him Sherry would be done shortly, but the officer had no interest. He initially told Sherry he could not finish the hole. The officer ultimately relented, then hovered nearby as Sherry two-putted from 40 feet to win.
Then he and the police offer retreated to the clubhouse, Sherry answered a few more questions and they were done.
Only in the City …

Houston's 5th annual Free, Family-Oriented Festival of the Outdoors
At a time when people in big cities are becoming increasingly disconnected from the world of nature and the outdoors, Take Me Outdoors Houston on Sept. 14 at Discovery Green offers a free, family-oriented festival to help urbanites in Texas' largest city get back to nature.
Now in its fifth year, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department event enlists multiple partners who provide hands-on activities, booths and opportunities to engage audiences who haven't ever or don't often get exposure to the great outdoors, especially the parks and other resources located right in Houston's big backyard.
"By introducing urban adults and kids to outdoor recreation, our woods and waters and natural places become more relevant and important to them," said Heidi Rao, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department hunter education specialist in Houston. "We believe recreation leads to conservation. If they're out there enjoying the natural world, they come to care about it and finally to care for it."
Take Me Outdoors Houston will take place from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 14 at Discovery Green, a 12-acre park created by a public/private partnership between the City of Houston and the non-profit Discovery Green Conservancy. The park's mission is to provide a beautiful, urban green space in the heart of Houston that serves as a village green for the city. It is located across Avenida de las Americas from the George R. Brown Convention Center and the Hilton Americas Hotel, sitting between the Toyota Center and Minute Maid Park. Since the park opened in April 2008, it has welcomed more than 5 million visitors and hosted more than 2,000 public and private events.
Take Me Outdoors Houston includes a variety of exhibitors clustered in topical zones and a wide range of activities, including but not limited to:
The Nature & Environmental Zone will include a Rock Climbing Wall; TPWD's State Parks Division, Becoming an Outdoors-Woman Program, and Urban Outdoor Program; Katy Prairie Conservancy; Student Conservation Association; Armand Bayou Nature Center; Wetlands Center and Baytown Nature Center.
The Hunting & Wildlife Conservation Zone will include TPWD's Hunter Education Program & Instructor Association, Spanish Hunter Education Program, Youth Hunter Education Challenge; SCI Houston's Sensory Safari; and Texas State Rifle Association & air gun booth.
The Fishing & Aquatic Conservation Zone will include TPWD's Coastal and Inland Fisheries Divisions, TPWD Angler Education Program with Backyard Bass casting, Texas Toyota Bass Classic booth & Neighborhood Fishing program; Texas Coastal Watershed Program; and Landry's Downtown Aquarium.
There will also be two educational demonstrations of live hawks and other raptors in flight by master falconer John Karger of "Last Chance Forever – the Bird of Prey Conservancy." Flying demonstrations will be at 11 a.m. & 1:00 p.m.
Visit the calendar of upcoming events on the Discovery Green website for more information on Take Me Outdoors Houston.

The Fish Place is so brand spanking new that you can almost smell the paint on the walls. Even right in the middle of the new build apartment blocks in Battersea this restaurant stands out as being particularly new. In fairness, The Fish Place has only been open for a week when I visit and our amiable waiter Ahmed tells me it only got its liquor licence the day before. This goes some way to explaining why on a Saturday lunchtime there are only two other diners.

How are you always a step ahead of me 😉 I'm heading that way this Friday evening and am looking forward to some fresh seafood! The seafood linguine looks particularly appealing and I have been craving some pasta lately…
That looks like great food and I agree, why would you order anything but fish at a fish specialist!
Mmmm, looks wonderful, I'd love to try the sea bream fillet.
Looks wonderful – and lovely pictures.
That cheesecake is especially impressive. All the food looks good although I can't help feeling it would taste even better with a Cornish breeze up your nostrils!
I was there last Friday and really enjoyed my meal (we went for the tasting menu). I should have gone at lunch time though, your pictures are so much nicer than mine. I read your description of the sea bream fillet a couple of times thinking that I had missed the bit when the chef turned it into a soup! (Duh!)
Luiz @ The London Foodie
The view looks gorgeous- but I probably wouldn't be able to tear my eyes away from that souffle- that photo is fantastic 🙂
I love this place
Catty – Hope you enjoy your meal
Lorraine – MTV boyfriend did order the celeraic soup but I let him get away with that…
Anna – It was really well cooked
Sybarite – It was, thank you.
Sarah – seafood does always taste the best that way
The London Foodie – What was the tasting menu like?
Tori – Yes the souffle was great
Anon – Thanks
i have been that place lately. the food and the service was amazing. definatelly i will go there again.

When it comes to finding new sources of energy, the Australian Plasma Fusion Research Facility (APFRF) is looking onwards and upwards - quite literally, in fact. The Sun and the stars are powered by fusion energy - fuel formed from the fusion of hydrogen into helium - in a process which the facility hopes to help reproduce here on Earth.
A five year plan was released today identifying how Australia could engage with ITER, the next step fusion experiment, under construction in France. ITER is the world's largest science experiment, and is designed to demonstrate the feasibility of fusion power.
The completion of the EIF Infrastructure Upgrade of the Australian Plasma Fusion Research Facility was launched at the ANU today. The Facility is the foundation of Australia's fusion science experimental activity.
The Australian Institute of Physics, in association with the Australian Optical Society, invites you to submit an abstract to the 21st biennial Australian Institute of Physics Congress, which will be held at the Australian National University in Canberra in the week December 7-11 in 2014.

Printer Repair Questions? Ask IT Technicians for Answers ASAP
no error message on printer, no B200 code. Am able to copy other stuff from computor.
Sorry I haven`t been in touch for a while,I`ve been on holiday. The problem with the computor continues! I am unable to print anything at all from this computor since upgradind to windows 10. Is this because my wife is registered as the administrator?
Did as you suggested but got no response.
Thanks for your attempts at helping. You keep mentioning maps but I`ve discovered that the problem is I cannot print anything! Is this because my wife (with her password) is down as the administrator? She can print OK but not me. Tried all you have suggested but still no go.
This is not about the problem we`ve been corresponding about, but I`m hoping you may be able to intervene on my behalf. I`ve just received a bank statement form "Justanswer" which indicates I`ve been enrolled as a member and £30 has been taken from my account.I never asked for membership, I only paid £20 for help with my problems with the printer, and also sent a note to that effect. The fact that the printer problems have still not been resolved has not helped.I would like a refund of £10 and someone to contact me about this.

Frilled lizard.
Corning is a herpetoculturist with more than 23 years experience breeding reptiles. He specializes in lizards of the Agamidae and Iguanidae families, with a special focus on lesser known, more advanced species. Visit his website at SailfinDragon.com.
Frilled lizards or frilled dragons (Chlamydosaurus kingiiare) are of the family Agamidae and come from Australia and New Guinea. The Australian species grow to about 3 feet in length, while the New Guinea species attain a length of about 2 feet, two thirds of which is the tail for both species. Females are smaller. They are an interesting species and are an ideal reptile for the advanced enthusiast.

A small business owner is typically dealing with too many business issues to think about a budget, but spending a little time thinking about a budget does save money. Budgets are largely associated with huge mega-corporations who have hundreds of accountants, lawyers and managers on staff to help in this endeavor. The fact is that a small business needs a budget just like any other entity in the economic world. Even the United States federal government has a budget, although it normally does not stick to it.
Budgets are future plans for the use of financial resources. Budgets come in many forms, including sales budget, cash budget, production budget and direct materials budget. Time frames are also considered in forming budgets, such as monthly, quarterly or yearly. To help combat budget challenges, sit down for 30 minutes a month with a pencil and a piece of scrap paper, and scribble down projected monthly revenues and expenses. Essentially, create a perpetual 12 month rolling budgeted income statement.
As a small business owner, one does not have tons of resources for counting every penny in the organization, but the idea here is to make an estimate. Calculate revenues — how many widgets are typically sold and for how much? Calculate expenses — rent, electricity, widget materials, postage, gasoline, salaries, etc. It does not have to be fancy. Just sit down and try to get a handle on the problem.
Budgets are estimates about the future. They help in controlling costs by setting limits on spending. In the corporate world, companies set aside training budgets. Unfortunately, during poor economic times, these budgets get scaled down significantly. It is also important to recognize people need budgets for their own personal lives too. When times are good, folks take vacations, but contrarily, when times are tight, the tendency is to avoid eating junk food at the drive-thru window since the cost is prohibitive compared to home cooking. Point being, nonetheless, make a budget and stick to it.

London Lightning facing elimination against Windsor Express
If that was the last time London fans saw the London Lightning this year, they left 4,783 people with a memory they won't soon forget.
In a Budweiser Gardens that was trembling with noise, the Lightning survived another elimination game, defeating the Windsor Express 84-79 Saturday to tie the National Basketball League of Canada semifinal series 3-3.
The two teams will decide who meets the Island Storm for the NBL championship when they play Game 7 in Windsor on Tuesday.
It was quite a show, everything a basketball game should be.
It was physical, emotional, nasty, dirty and passionate as both teams came ready to play
The atmosphere was epic. When Zane Johnson hit a huge three and was fouled to give the Lightning some breathing room in the fourth quarter, the crowd rose as one and almost blew the roof off the place.
It was not a game for the faint of heart. Nothing was easy for either team. The teams left the court knowing they were in a basketball game.
Lightning coach Micheal Ray Richardson said he wasn't surprised by the win.
Earlier in the day he went to see a local psychic who read his hand.
"She told me that we would win tonight by eight or 10," Richardson said, pointing to his hand. "She also told me what would happen in Game 7."
Richardson wouldn't disclose what her prediction was for Game 7.
"She was right about Game 6," he said.
If his club plays the way it did Saturday a physic won't have to tell him how it will turn over. It should turn out very well.
After three weak games, the Lightning looked ready to be run over by the Express. They simply had too much stuff they needed to do in order to win.
The Lightning needed to play defence on Stefan Bonneau and Darren Duncan. They needed to stop DeAndre Thomas inside.
They did it all. From the opening tip, it was obvious the Lightning were not going to go down easily. Tony Bennett worked over Bonneau and Duncan. Both Jermaine Johnson and Dwight McCombs had big games against Thomas who got into foul trouble early.
Garrett Williamson led the Ligthning with 20 points. Johnson had 19 points and seven rebounds while McCombs had 14 points. Elvin Mims had 13 rebounds.
Tim Ellis, in what could have been his last game, really came to play. He had nine big rebounds.
Chris Commons had 20 points for the Express with Duncan hitting for 17, Quinnel Brown 13 and Bonneau 11. Thomas was held to six points.
The third team on the floor, the officials, called 55 fouls.
"I'm really proud of those players," Richardson said. "I know the fight that's in them. I see it every day. When we don't come out and play well, I know we are short changing ourselves because I know what we have if we do what we're supposed to do.
"This was playoff basketball. They really wanted it. They were physical. The big guys were exceptional."
Bennett and Darin Mency who started the game gave the Lightning some energy right from the start. For the first time, the Lightning didn't fall behind early in the game.
"I worked hard," Bennett said. "I sacrificed a lot of offence but I knew we had guys who could score and if I sacrificed defensively everyone would pick it up offensively. Defend, defend, defend, that's it."
Bennett said this club isn't one to quit.
"I said before, one of the good things about a messed up situation is that we're in a familiar messed up situation," he said. "We were in this situation against Brampton and came back and fought it out. It's not like we can't get it done. We know we can get it done. It's just a matter of putting your big boy pants on and going to get it done."
With Thomas in early foul trouble the Lightning did what they could to get inside to McCombs and Jermaine Johnson.
Johnson was as jacked as he's been since coming to the Lightning. He and Thomas got into each other's face whenever they were on the floor together. Johnson did a lot of howling.
"I was so focused," Johnson said. "It was probably the most focused I've been in my career in basketball. All day long I was talking about doing everything I could do to win. I told my teammates 'don't worry about Game 6. I will need help in Game 7 but Game 6 is mine.'"
Johnson couldn't stop smiling after the game. It was quite a change from the nasty faces he and Thomas wore when they were growling at each other.
"He's big and he's a great player," Johnson said. "Despite every one hating on him, he's a great player and I'm just doing everything I can to stop him."
In this crazy series no one can predict what will happen in Game 7, although Richardson seemed to think the psychic knew her business.
Richardson was last seen leaving the Budweiser Garden looking at his hand with a big smile on his face.

Love it or hate it, T-Mobile's crusade against other wireless carriers, has given us a lot of chuckles, maybe some good laughs, and probably a healthy dose of groans and cringes. This last attempt, I think, falls on the innocuous side of the equation, quirky enough to be interesting for us to cover without being too distasteful or annoying.
Writing on T-Mobile's blog, John Legere compared AT&T to the Evil Empire and cited its dark methods of detaining customers and its pathological need to dominate and control and keep everything secret as the reason why its powers are akin to the Death Star.Read More

Go ahead and buy anything that interests you. Feel free to PM me if you want to negotiate further. Do not take advantage of me though. I prefer selling at a lower price to those who really want it, not to vendors and exchangers. And I have a way to find that out ^_~
As for the items with bidding options, I usually wait until it reaches its time.
And please ask kindly hehe thank you for visiting! n_n

Magic Johnson Comments on Los Angeles Potentially Landing an NFL TeamAugust 13, 2014
The idea of an NFL team returning to Los Angeles for the first time since 1994 isn't groundbreaking, but it is picking up steam. NBA Hall of Famer Magic Johnson, who's part of the ownership group for the Los Angeles Dodgers, believes it could happen within the next two years.
Frank Schwab of Yahoo! Sports passed along comments the 54-year-old made while visiting a practice between the Oakland Raiders and Dallas Cowboys. He notes everybody in the area is finally starting to come together:
I think for the first time, I truly believe we're going to get a team. Finally. Everybody is on board. The city is on board. The business community is on board. The NFL is on board. Finally we have momentum. In the next couple years, at least in the next 24 months, I think one team will be coming. I don't know what team that will be, but I believe in the next two years we'll have a team.
The question is which team could make the move. The Buffalo Bills are for sale, but any group even vaguely linked to moving the team out of Western New York has met strong resistance from the community.
No other franchises are currently up for bid.
Johnson believes the Oakland Raiders could be an option. Team owner Mark Davis is angling for a new stadium, and there's already been talk about a potential move to San Antonio. The Raiders' former home of Los Angeles is a much bigger market.
Since 1946, Los Angeles has been home to the Dons of the former All-America Football Conference (1946-1949), Rams (1946–1994), Chargers (1960) and Raiders (1982-1994).
Johnson added:
It would be great to have the Raiders back in L.A., I would love for that to happen. But that's going to be up to Mark and the Raiders and the NFL. But I would love to have the Raiders back in L.A., where they belong. We just want a team, we want a team in the worst way.
Again, there are uncertainties. Nobody is entirely sure whether Davis is truly interested in considering relocation options or just using those talks for leverage while working toward an agreement with Oakland.
The NFL has been trying to get L.A. involved even without a team. Gil Brandt of NFL.com reported earlier in the month that the city is a likely destination for next year's draft:
For years, the outlook for the league's return to the market has been pegged as when, not if. The logistics of getting it done have proved difficult, however. But now, it sounds like Johnson, who's a major part of the Los Angeles area, is confident a resolution is nearing.
It's a situation that will be watched closely over the next few years. The NFL definitely wants to make its presence felt in key markets such as L.A. or London. Whether it can happen within the relatively short time frame Johnson mentioned is unclear.
