Finished today:
Blue Simply Squares quilt. Scroll down to see the pattern. Profits from the sales of the pattern go to Relay. My quilt looks slightly different because I set my squares differently. Here it is before I trimmed it and put the binding on. And, how about a close up. Quilting is ok, but it could be better -- heck it will be better eventually. This was done before the table runner I showed yesterday...
Now, I feel my all-over meanders are fine and my easy pantographs are getting decent. More practice is still needed though!
Tomorrow Pat, Raggs and I are taking a road trip to visit quilt stores and wineries up in the Finger Lakes section of New York. Although we used to bring Christy with us when we came up here to see how the construction was going on our house, we've never tried traveling and stopping at, say, quilt stores and wineries, before. We'll keep you posted on how it goes. I looked up restaurants, wineries and hotels on DogFriendly.com Hopefully it'll be easy for the most part.
I've been making a list of things I might like to buy at the quilt store. WAIT -- wasn't I just at a quilt store 7 days ago? How can I really NEED any thing else. Um, I do need a little wool for the Bunny Hill block of the month. (Endless Mountain Quiltworks didn't have any wool.) And, I have a hanky challenge due next month and the colors I need I just don't have. (actually I'm checking on that as soon as I posts this!) And, I have an X Block ruler and I would like a different pattern than the one I have for it. Haven't made it in 2 years.... need I say more? So I guess I might need/want some more stuff. Oh well. It is good for the economy. Right.
I'm off to check my fabs and get the hanky from the challenge.

A Food Review - Part 2
Today at the store I discovered this new soda. It's purple and pretty so I immediately thought it was grape soda. Yum! I love grape soda!
Upon closer inspection, I see that it's called Cilgin. That means crazy in Turkish. It wasn't grape flavored either. It says Orman Meyveleri...Fruits of the Forest. Hm...I'm not quite sure what I think of that. I have a great idea! I'll buy one and let my kids taste it first. Let's see what they think!
Will taking a drink of Crazy!
This doesn't look promising. His comment...it's not bad, but I wouldn't want to drink very much of it. Ok...moving right along...
Anna Grace looks quite happy to drink a cup of Crazy. She kinda looks like she already drank a cup of Crazy. Here we go...
Oh...that is too bubbly. NO...I don't like it.
And now for Jacob. He'll eat anything. Really, he will! Once we were at this place that served beef tongue and Jacob totally knew what it was and ate it anyway.
Yum! I'm going for a second taste! Good stuff!
I also came across this decadent can of fruit juice at the store. The flavor...coconut, hazelnut, chocolate flavored orange-apple juice. Now, I had no desire to try this. None at all. But I did think it would be fun to throw in today's food review. So let's see what the kids think of this.
Anna Grace bravely went first. Before she could even take a drink she said, "This stinks!" Yes, but how does it taste?
Oh, that is the grossest thing I have ever tasted! Ugh!
And Will's reaction...
and then he did this...
and this...
and finally this. I'm thinking he doesn't care for it much. He couldn't even speak, but the sounds emitting from his lips reminded me of some an animal would make in its death throes.
Finally, Jacob tried it. He was quite hesitant after watching Will collapse on the floor and die. I was able to convince him that it didn't kill Anna Grace so he had a 50/50 chance of survival. Just take one little sip....please!
So...what do you think?
Yeah...I'm not even swallowing it. I will spew it forth from my mouth. Send the foul liquid back whence it came. Um...ok Jacob. No need to be dramatic. See...I told you it wouldn't kill you!
Then, because they were such great sports I pulled out this!
Chocolate Carnival ice cream
Will came back to life quite quickly when the words Chocolate Carnival Ice Cream were uttered. I think he was faking it. Jacob took his bowl of ice cream and ran. I think he was worried I might have something else for them to try later.
Note: Anna Grace did point out that every time we do a taste test Erica seems to vanish. Yeah...she was at a friend's house. She got lucky. This time!

oh I miss those crazy things you can buy in Turkey!
How fun and funny! Love the pictures.

You know, we have some pretty weird juice combos over here..but NOTHING like that Cappy juice! I pretty much stay away from anything that adds chocolate to fruit in a drink....and prunes.
- LiteralDan said...
This makes me miss Steve, Don't Eat It! over at The Sneeze. You might enjoy flipping through those archives for plenty of big laughs.
I could probably do a similar series of taste tests with odd imported (alleged) food items from the nearby internationally focused market, some of which have no English on them whatsoever or any indicator to the illiterate of what the product is made of. However, I don't have a willing group of children old enough to understand what they're getting into but too young to know they shouldn't do so. My loss. - 11:33 AM
- Arizona Albino said...
I love your kids' expressions! I'm fascinated by your life in Turkey and so glad I found your blog with all the photos and everything. My family is preparing for ex-pat life in Indonesia. I've heard they make a canned, fermented beverage out of crickets. Would Jacob try that in a taste test? Maybe I'm making that up.
- ~m said...
Oh ho! How funny! Glad your kids have nine lives :)
And you just gotta love some of the great stuff you can find in Elsewhere-Not-Boring-America.
Actually, I guess you can probably find equally appalling stuff here, come to think of it... - 12:51 PM
- JennDZ - The Leftover Queen said...
This was a great post! I love all the pictures, commentary and reactions of the kids. I was laughing out loud the whole time!
- Rhonda said...
Ok, this is so funny.
We do the same with our kids. Always trying to get them to taste new foods and drinks. Now, I will have to remember to take pictures. - 1:23 PM
- HeyJoe said...
I enjoy how you force your kids to eat/drink stuff that is potentially disgusting, all for our amusement. You're a perfect candidate for the HeyJoe School of Parenting. Actually, maybe you can be one of the teachers.
- Jennifer H said...
Those pictures are hilarious! I'm sure I've seen those expressions on my own kids, but it probably involved broccoli.
- Natalie said...
johnson - i bet. i'm sure there are crazy things in america too! you just have to know where to find them!
mamadallama - thanks! i enjoyed it immensely!
gina - yeah, when i was in the states i accidently bought a cherry chocolate dr. pepper thinking it was a cherry vanilla dr. pepper. i think i rivaled will in the face making!
literaldan - that was hilarious! and potted meat. i'm not sure i could convince my kids to eat that! just wait. your kids will soon be old enough to participate in your dastardly deeds!
arizona albino - love the name! welcome to the blog! and no...jacob would not try that unless i didn't tell him what it was first. i think he would draw the line at bugs.
~m - yes, i was quite amused at the whole situation. i'm sure there are some international food markets that would have some interesting fare! the problem there would be the price. weird foreign food would probably be pretty pricey and not worth the money for a measly blog post!
jennDZ - thanks! i cracked myself up with this one. that's always fun! and can i just say YUM about your blog! that shrimp makes my mouth water!
rhonda - yeah...my camera is my friend. and the kids are usually pretty good sports about it. made me giggle!
heyjoe - i would love to teach in the heyjoe school of parenting. what's the pay like? i might need the money one day soon!
jennifer h - thanks! i think the kids all like broccoli enough to at least stomach it. well, as long as it is covered with cheese! - 4:26 PM
Ahhhh.... Where is the video?? Where is the video of you trying these wonderful flavors?
Where is the revenge... I mean shared adventure? - 4:34 PM
- HeyJoe said...
Natalie - the pay sucks, but plenty of perks. ;)
OK, by perks I mean learning to fart with your hands, increasing the volume of your swallowing, thereby increasing the annoyance factor; dancing like an idiot. All good stuff. - 5:50 PM
- HO said...
LOL...that is so great! I need to move away just to do this!
I can't wait for the next taste test. - 7:35 PM
- citizen of the world said...
The expressions on the kids faces are pricelss. Children's real reacions to things can be both wonderful and disastrous, depending on the situation!
- The Over-Thinker said...
This is probably painfully obvious, but I totally thought that can said "Crappy"---I was all, Man, they sure get to the point in Turkey. Straight shooters over there.
I love the 2nd to the last picture of Jacob---it looks like he's lost the power to live :) - 9:04 PM
- Natalie said...
charlie girl - you know i would never let them take a picture of me tasting the nasty food. i wouldn't stand for it!
heyjoe - yeah i figured as much. but i'm good with the perks though! i'll start working on that swallowing thing now.
HO - it is quite fun. there was an earlier taste test having to do with chips. after the fun of that i had to do this one. it may have to be a regular feature!
citizen of the world - they are funny! i just wished they hadn't moved so much so the pictures would have been a little clearer. and they knew the camera was pointed at them so i'm sure they exaggerated some. well...i took a tiny sip of that juice drink. they weren't exaggerating. it was nasty!
over-thinker - well it is crappy so that would be a better name for this flavor. but cappy also has other more normal flavors of juices as well. the orange-pineapple and the cherry juice are my favorites.
and jacob...i'm just glad he didn't throw up. that wouldn't have been pretty at all! - 4:39 AM
- Andrea said...
I loved this! Your kids are great sports.
We saw soem kids drinking a VitaMalz one day so we thought that we would try it. If kids were drinking it, it couldn't be that bad?!? Blech! It was a malted beverage (non-alcoholic), but it tasted like stale, weak, smelly beer. O.K.-not even as good as beer. We did try a MezzoMix-which is an orange-cola variation. I actually thought it was pretty good.
You just never know what you'll get when you experiment.
Thanks for sharing! - 4:47 AM
- Natalie said...
andrea - i am so glad to know there will be fun things to force my kids to taste in america! we'll be there for an extended time starting in november, and i would hate to not be able to do food reviews!
I always knew Erica was smart! Not being there for any taste tests:)
Cheri - 12:04 AM
- Natalie said...
cheri - i don't think she even knew there was a taste test. i should show her the pictures so she can appreciate missing it even more!
- Andrea said...
Hi Natalie,
You can try MezzoMix and VitaMalz in Germany. It's just a hop-skip-jump, from you... well, sort of.
I do like the new Cokes-with multi-vitamins, I think they are called. I don't believe the nutrition part-I just like the citrus and green tea flavor.
I haven't been to Turkey-just Crete. Similar maybe? - 5:09 PM
- Natalie said...
andrea - i have never been to crete or greece or cyprus, but i've heard there are some similarities in all those places. they might have those drinks here. i'll have to look!

this has nothing to do with this hilarious post, but i went to high school with a girl that looks EXACTLY like your Erica, and her name was Annagrace.

Really great post! So funny.
That second one - the juice - EW! Brave kids you have there. :> - 9:01 AM

Fuh-nee! I love it that your kids are the guinea pigs! ;-)
- Debbie said...
Very funny post. Love the expressions on the kids' faces. Found you through our linkies on June Cleaver. Glad to find your blog.
- texasholly said...
OMG! I love it. That was a really fun post. Thanks soooooo much for linking today.
- Elaine A. said...
Your kids are so brave! Love all the pictures of their expressions after trying that stuff.
I guess that second one really is bad if your son who will eat anything didn't like it! HA! - 11:12 AM
- Valarie said...
Never in my life did I ever think there was a drink with coconut, hazelnut, chocolate flavored orange apple juice. Who comes up with this stuff. I am glad Will recovered from the trauma of it all. :)
- dddiva said...
LOLOL my kids think I am cruel when I make them taste things first. I LOVE IT. Hahahhaha. I will remember to take pics next time. Unless it is something we arent' sure is still good, in which case I will not provide the state with any evidence. ;)
- Eternal Sunshine said...
All I could think originally was "That looks like a blueberry on the bottle, that can't be too bad..." But after those faces, I'm not so sure!
Cute kids! My oldest will eat anything that hubs dares him to. Pickled quail eggs, pickled pigs feets, aything hot or spicy. They're nuts...
Hmmm, maybe I should take pics next time!! - 10:10 PM
- Natalie said...
frogpondsrock - thanks. it was fun!
reluctant housewife - thanks. yeah...the juice was gross for sure!
colleen - unfortunately my kids have grown weary of the taste tests. they have come to realize that i pick thing that aren't so great! ah well...
debbie - thanks. i loved their expressions as well. i loved that they were so true to what they thought!
texasholly - you are welcome. thanks for the opportunity!
elaine a. - i know. i don't know if i can get them to do another taste test. i might have to try it sometime soon!
valarie - i know. who would even think of it? it was disgusting. they have a cherry vanilla coconut one that is better, but still not very good.
dddiva - i know! i have had to bribe them with something yummy to even get them to do taste tests. i don't know if that would work anymore though!
eternal sunshine - the purple one wasn't horrible...just really sweet. no distinct berry flavor. and you totally should take pictures. it is a blast capturing their faces! - 9:40 AM
- jill jill bo bill said...
That was hilarious! I am all about "torturing" my kids for a good laugh. We used to do that on road trips with a mixture of all drinks from the fountain. But then again we are weird!
- Natalie said...
jill - that sounds fun to me! the only problem is that my kids like to mix the drinks up themselves. i think they actually like it. we have to go really weird to get them worked up!

TOTW and Chinese Ingredients!
My dogs have done brilliantly on TOTW high prairie puppy for quite some time now. It's about the only food I have found so far that didn't give the grumbly tummy to the shepherd. I found this out today and I am DONE with TOTW. Going with the Acana Ranchlands over Earthborn's bison/lamb which is a bit higher in protein/calories/fat. We are not doing any ingredients fom China, esp. folate which has come tainted from China in the human market too. Ug. Sorry to report this for the TOTW fans . . .
Here's what TOTW postd on their FB page:
Taste of the Wild Pet Food
Most of the ingredients in Taste of the Wild originate in the U.S. There are critical ingredients that are not available domestically in an adequate supply or with as much quality as our international supply. There are ingredients critical to our formulations (i.e. folic acid and taurine) that can only be sourced out of China. We believe not including these ingredients would not be in the best interest of your pet. We understand the concern of products sourced outside of the U.S. Food safety is our top priority. Our ingredients go through numerous quality assurance checks from the time the ingredient arrives to the end process of shipping to ensure the safety of our products.

Perfect location for Athens. Nice and complete appartment.
On request, Gelena is able to arrange it
We were met by the very friendly Helena at the airport. The apartment was in a perfect, safe location and made visiting the Acropolis, the museum and the atmospheric restaurants in Plaka very easy. There is a mini supermarket, a pharmacy and an excellent bakery on your doorstep together with a few good restaurants. Great cafes with good coffee are close by too, our favourite and nearest was the Little Tree Books and Coffee cafe.
The apartment had everything we needed but it could do with a facelift, especially the bathroom. We loved Athens and the view at night from the apartment's balcony of the Acropolis is breathtaking!
We enjoyed ou stay at Athens very much.The apartment is small, but clean and functional with a comfortable bed. It´s a good place for staying a few days and discovering Athens, above all Akropolis and Plaka, by foot.The next underground station lies in a walking distance as well. The communication with Helena was perfect and the nice driver Niki exactly arrived to take us to the airport verx early in the morning.
I think we will choose this apartment once more, if we will visit Athens once more.
The place had minor defects like the tiny bathroom and the bed which was a bit broken but for a short stay of about a week it is great, the huge veranda is the best place to drink something looking at the acropolis, which was very near, the neighbourhood was probably the one with the best nightlife of athens full of clubs and restaurants, and the house was very near the center of athens, you could make the whole way from syntagma visiting places in between like the flea market in about 30 mins, the air coinditioning is a huge plus.
We were two persons having holiday in Athens and enjoyed very much! The apartment is very nice and clean. There is an air-condition in one bedroom and a kitchen. Location is good, 10 - 15 minutes walk to metro station. You can take a bus on your home street but we could not find the timetables or route map.
The staff is very friendly. If there is something wrong in your appartment they try to fix it at once!
There is no TV in appartment.
It was very nice to stay at this apartment. Chryssa and the team was very kind and ready to help and support whenever there's a problem. The apartment was very clean and the location was good too. Although it was a bit far to the subway, there are buses and it's very close to downtown. We had a car and parking was not too difficult. We parked on the street like everybody else but there are also a lot of paid parking lots nearby (not so expensive, ca. 5 Euros per day).
It was fantastic and fully profesional expierience. The apartment was in the perfect part of Athens, we were close to the Acropol and Plaka. Thanks to support of Helena & Vasalli we were able to have magniefecent time during the one day trip to three islands. I highly recomend!
Spending time with Helena's apartment was very nice. The place is clean and cosy and very close to the centre. There was no problems with time of arrival. Also when we have a small "door-problem" the hosts help us quickly. Thank you for your hospitality!

This Top Ten List is from U.S. News and Report Main Factors to Consider When Choosing The Best Business School for You Does the school offer the degree you want? (e.g., MBA, MAcc, EMBA) Is the tuition affordable? Are the school's graduates successful in landing the types of jobs you'd like to land yourself? Is the curriculum as broadly or as narrowly focused (or as flexible) as you'd like? Is the class schedule flexible enough for you to meet your other commitments? Do the accommodations (classrooms, media centers, libraries, housing facilities, etc.) meet your needs? Additional Factors that Make a Business School Desirable Is the school known for the high quality of its programs and graduates? Rankings lists can help you determine this, even if a business school isn't top-ranked, it can still have a good reputation. Does the faculty possess extensive education? Are the faculty members considered to be leaders in their fields? Are the class sizes small? Is the student:teacher ratio low? Are the professors committed to teaching? Are they available outside of class? Does the school have a Career Placement office that actively works to assist graduates in finding internships and jobs? How to Evaluate a Business School Read though their Web sites or promotional material — or use the tools on this site to browse though business schools, read about their programs, and request information. Visit the school. Sit in on classes. Talk with students and faculty. Talk with graduates of the school. If you know which companies you're interested in working for, talk to them, or read through their Web sites to find out what business schools and what types of programs they tend to hire from. Look over the curriculum of the program you're interested in, then consult the school's catalog to study the relevant course descriptions. The information above was from Allbusinessschools.com.

Refrigerator & Freezer Repair
Model Number: B136CAR3 Brand: Amana Age: 5 - 10 years
I have an Amana built in Refrigerator Freezer that will run for any where from 4 hours to 4 Days and the freezer will warm up and the refrigerator will also warm up to 60.If we turn the power of and on a few times it will begine to make ice cubes again and the temp in the freezer will drop down to some where around 10 degrees any body have any ideas??? Thank you oldtomc The Box never loses power. the motor keeps running most of the time. If you turn the machine off and turn it back on, It will run just fine it makes ice cubes just fine it seem that when it wants to defrost it self it will not start to freeze again. Thank you for trying to help Amana could Care Less about fixing there $8,500.00 Pile of Junk They bless there hart offered me a 15 % Discount on a new Amana, What every gives them the Idea That I would Puchase Another Amana Any Company that will not suport there Refigerators Fat chance that I would Ever have an Amana again.

Amana Built In B136CAR3 Built Late 1999 LEMON
For you that do not know why I was trying to fix it. A new replace ment is some where around $8,000.00 Up the one that we have was around $9600.00 for a simular Refrigerator Plus Sales tax @9.7% Back to ******** the Board that was not availabe any more and if it was would be in the over $400.00 Range I perchased Three of the boards so I would have spares.High ******** L/V board 86.00 Low was under $50.00.The part numbers were differant the boards for the most part were exactly the same. The Sixth out fit came out I told him my story,He put an ampprobe on the Compressor it Was takeing twice the amps to start as was alowed.The Company that fixed it was A&E the name may be copy writed so I almost did not say who fixed it.But I figured that if any body out there Has an Amana they cant get fixed.It took me 7 seven mounths to get it fixed. Keep in mined that there appears to be several Rerigeratorss out there that use the same or will fit parts if you look close. In Closing I want to thank these people again for trying to help almost every body else wanted money up front with the only guantee was that your money was gone fixed or not.Every thing in this note is my opinion Reguards oldtomc |
I assume everything is now ok, freezer temp down below 10 degrees, fridg. around 35-40.
I would question ability to measure inrush startup compressor current. It lasts much less than a second and with my expensive amprobe, I have trouble capturing it with the data save feature. If is indeed double normal, I would verify you have the factory specified start device on the compressor and not some boost device. In any event, I would add a 1000Joule surge protector to the outlet; make sure it is one designed for appliances, $ 12.95 at Wall Mart.

Decimated Defense: Post-Purdue Update
After achieving my life-long goal of getting linked to by Dr. Saturday, I did a little updating this morning of the first in the acclaimed "The Decimated Defense" posts.
This mgoboard (mysteriously bumped to a diary) post is so loyal MGoBlog readers can get all the new goodies without re-reading the thing. The first noticeable difference: a Defensive Depth Chart, which looks like this:
NFL All-World Guy |
Young Beast |
Solid Guy |
True Freshman Blue Chip or Serviceable backup guy |
Old-guy bust who's kind of serviceable now |
NFL-ready junior guy |
Current Infinite Safety Disaster, who is worse than the walk-on |
Legacy who is halfway decent and was our FS until a few weeks ago |
Dust mite true freshman who was a running back until a few weeks ago |
True freshman recovering from knee surgery who can't be that great if he hasn't seen the field |
Red shirt freshman with clear talent deficiency to be serviceable |
( Where = Walk-on)
There's also a part at the end that uses the 2008 linebacker and DB disasters as a microcosm of the greater problem, which reads as follows:
The 2008 linebacker and DB hauls are a perfect microcosm of Michigan's bigger problems.
Linebacker: At a position that had zero depth left over from previous classes, we brought in four 4-star players: Marcus Witherspoon, Taylor Hill, J.B. Fitzgerald, and Kenny Demens.
Of those, Witherspoon and Hill were lost immediately to attrition. One (Fitzgerald) is on track to be a long-term contributor. One (Demens) seems to be a bust. In this case, Michigan fulfilled its recruitment needs, but was hit by double the expected attrition. Result: one serviceable player when we needed at least two.
Defensive back: At a position that had zero depth left over from pervious classes, we brought in two 4-stars (Brandon Smith and Boubacar Cissoko) and one flier (J.T. Floyd). As with Mouton, Smith was immediately deemed a linebacker, and this was a known likelihood during the recruitment period, so really we brought in just a 4-star and a flier. The 4-star looked to be a bit behind track for his rating, until he got himself kicked off the team. The flier, as was the expected result, was not useful. Result: zero serviceable players when we needed at least two or three.
Linebacker is a clear-cut case of decimation due to attrition. Defensive back is a clear-cut case of decimation due to under-recruiting. Both of these factors have ravaged each class from 2005 to 2008. Along the way, there were some serviceable players picked up, but we are still generally two serviceable players short of the Michigan norm at several linebacker positions and all four defesnive backfield positions, i.e. we are at least 12 good, useful, on-the-roster players away from a normal Michigan defense. That is HUGE!!!
I also updated the charts a bit to reflect the Purdue depth chart changes. That is all.

***Disclosure: I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for McCain Foods. I received a sample to facilitate my review as well as a promotional item as a thank-you for participating.***
While I prepare most of our meals from scratch, I do rely on some prepackaged and frozen foods for convenience. On a busy weeknight, these are true time savers and they allow me to get dinner on the table in record time. After all, I do need to feed the minions quickly. If they have to wait too long on their meals, they get restless and bad things happen.
I happen to be very picky about what frozen products I purchase, since I want my family to get the best possible nutrition without sacrificing flavor. If the ingredients list has loads of preservatives and things I cannot pronounce, chances are, I won't be feeding that product to my family. I generally try and go the natural or organic route whenever possible.
That's why we choose the All Natural potato products from McCain. These are delicious, easy to make, and won't leave you feeling like you just ate some kid's science experiment. They're made from all natural ingredients, and you can definitely taste the difference in quality.
They're also super easy to prepare. Just pop them in the oven, set your timer, and walk away. In the time it takes me to break up dueling toddlers and kiss their battle boo-boos better, change a diaper, and fetch a sippy cup of juice, my McCain Smiles are hot and ready to be devoured.
Kyle is always ready for an after school meal...oops, "snack" within 5 seconds of walking in the door. McCain Sweet Potato Fries are perfect for occasions like these because they're super quick, and they pack a good nutritional punch. You know...Because I can't have him dying of starvation and the sheer exhaustion that comes from being an 8th grader before his chores are done and his homework is completed. Plus, these just taste amazing! If you've never tried sweet potato fries, I would highly recommend them. I don't even LIKE sweet potatoes, and I love these!
Again, these just go into the oven and before you know it, they're hot and crispy and ready to be inhaled.
Do you love potatoes as much as we do? Have you tried McCain's All Natural Potato sides? How do you like to serve them? I'd love to hear about it!

Mississippi State battled top-ranked Alabama for four quarters Saturday night. The Bulldogs held the Crimson Tide to their lowest point total of the season and forced four turnovers.
But in the end Alabama proved to be too high a mountain for MSU to climb at this point in time. Although there were plenty of positives to take away from the contest, head coach Dan Mullen is not claiming any type of moral victory.
"Everybody was pretty disgusted going to sleep last night because we lost the game," Mullen said. "Fortunately we get to turn right back around and get our guys back ready to play another one. I know we battled but there isn't any moral victories or any of that stuff. You either win or you lose."
The Bulldogs have played well the last two weeks but only have a pair of losses to show for their effort. Against Texas A&M, the offense produced outgained the Aggies but could not outscore them. This past weekend the defense executed well enough but injuries on offense and special teams letdowns were issues State could not overcome.
"We have to go play that complete game," Mullen said. "You can put your finger on a couple of things here and there in each game that have been issues. I think our guys have learned that if we put a complete game together we're going to be a pretty good team."
The main injury concern currently is to quarterbacks Dak Prescott and Tyler Russell. Prescott injured his left shoulder late in the Texas A&M game and did not dress for Saturday's game against Alabama. Russell was forced out of Saturday's game in the fourth quarter with a shoulder injury of his own sustained while trying to make a tackle on his lone interception.
"I'm a pretty optimistic person generally in life so I'd like to think both of them will be available," Mullen said. "I'm not a doctor though so that's not my call. Hopefully we'll get them both healed up. I don't know the extent of where Tyler is at, we'll find that out a little later today. I've been told Dak's day-to-day. He was day-to-day last week but it's a nerve issue so as soon as that calms down and he gets his strength back he'll be ready to go."
True freshman Damian Williams was forced into action for the final three series of the game. Williams had only played in two games prior to Saturday and finished the night 0 of 5 passing and was sacked once.
"We trust Damian," Mullen said. "Because of our situation, he's played earlier in the season and gotten reps at practice. He's a winner and led his (high school) team to a state championship last year. Obviously as a coach, that's a tough situation to put a true freshman into but I'm proud of how he handled that situation. He didn't bat an eye, went out onto the field to do his job when his number was called. He knows we have faith in him and depending on the injury report, he might be the guy or the starter this week."
Senior linebacker Deontae Skinner dressed for the Alabama game and could have played in an emergency situation according to Mullen. But Skinner was held out of action for the second straight game at the advice of the training staff.
The Bulldogs now face a must-win situation for their final two games. Mississippi State has to win out to break even with a 6-6 record to reach bowl eligibility for a fourth straight season.
Next up for the Bulldogs will be their last road game of the year traveling to Little Rock to take on Arkansas, a venue MSU has never won in.
"Little Rock is a tough place to go play," Mullen said. "They've got a tough atmosphere and a great crowd. They've got a first-year coach that's trying to develop and get their program back to where they want it to be. They've played a couple of teams tough this year battling right down to the end of games. That shows it's going to be another great challenge for us this week."
Arkansas began the year 3-0 under new head coach Bret Bielema but have dropped seven-straight since. The Razorbacks enjoyed the weekend off and will have had two weeks to prepare for their outing against State.
Mullen admitted his path has not crossed very often with Bielema but does recall a heartwarming gesture from the former Wisconsin head coach in the midst of a tragic situation in 2010.
"I really haven't gotten to know him much but I have a lot of respect for him," Mullen said. "We had a player pass away a couple of years ago named Nick Bell. I got a really nice, handwritten letter from Brett with some thoughts in that situation. Obviously to have a guy in the profession take time out of his schedule – who didn't really know who I was, who was not in our conference or wasn't associated with us – to write myself and our team a note I thought was a real class act. I gained a lot of respect for him as a man to take time to do that and that left a mark with me that will always stick with me about him."

A friend who works inside government was making fun of me over the weekend for getting a tad too excited about the administration's Power Africa initiative. It's true that I've been pushing for energy poverty to get more attention and was pretty heartened by the White House effort which aims to increase electricity generation by 10,000 MW in six target countries.
I was thinking about her jibes when buying a new refrigerator, especially when I noticed the yellow energy guide tag that shows how much electricity the unit will use in a typical year. I know I live an energy-intensive lifestyle. Americans on average use 13,395 kWh/year (IEA data for 2010), which is nearly three times what the typical South African uses and 100 times the average Nigerian. But I was still pretty shocked to see how my new single-family fridge compares with an average citizen in the six Power Africa countries:

This book examines wars and military occupation, and the ideas underlying them. The search for these ideas is conducted in the domain of the laws of war, a body of rules that sought to regulate the practices of war and those permitted to fight in it. This work introduces three ideologies: the martial, Grotian, and republican. These traditions were rooted in incommensurable conceptions of the good life, and the overall argument is that their differences lay at the heart of the failure fully to resolve the distinction between lawful and unlawful combatants at successive diplomatic conferences of ...

Our Story So Far
So, with that out of the way- welcome! It's time we set our glorious Woot-Off aside and take another look at what's been going on since last time. Join us, won't you? And if you won't, we're gonna glare at you as you leave.
On Halloween, Rod discovered his ghost … was Sylvia! Hiding in an underground bunker in Rod's basement! Of course, this was for one reason, and one reason only: Pamela's guilt. Turns out that Pamela had hired Mike to cover up her affair with Rod and started the whole snowball of paranoia. Does she regret it? Absolutely! But now her best friend is gone and having so much fun on her own, who knows if she'll ever come back? Certainly not Nestoras, who said his goodbyes to the woman he'd grown to love.
Poor Craig hasn't been doing much better. He'd gotten close to Danielle while helping her recover from an injured leg but then had a little run in with Phil. Maybe he was too possessive, or maybe he was just unlucky in love, but Danielle decided she's had enough and turned her back on Craig again. And she's not too happy with Phil either.
Of course, there were the happier moments too, like Lesley and Brant's anniversary! It's just sad that they got into a fight right after. A fight that might even lead to Lesley changing the spelling of her name from time to time without any warning. What a twist!
Of course, if you've been reading, you know all this more, including Chastity's babysitting and the newest detective agency in town. If you haven't, consider this your invitation. We know Moueska would love some other fans to whom he or she could talk.

10Philadelphia Trains to Use Energy Created from Braking to Help Power the Electric Grid
September 15th, 2010 by Zachary Shahan
Philadelphia subway trains are the next to jump on the energy innovation bandwagon, by using the energy they create from braking to help power other trains and possibly even the electric grid.
Basically, a large battery will capture the kinetic energy the trains create while braking, and then that energy will be supplied to the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA) for its own uses or fed into the grid. This is quite similar to the regenerative braking systems in use by hybrid cars and electric vehicles, but it is a system hardly used by trains despite the great potential there.
"Philadelphia subways use regenerative braking to some degree now; kinetic energy is converted to electricity that is returned to the system through the third rail. But the system still loses at least half the energy as heat," Jason Kambitsis of Wired reports.
The Market-Frankford line, the line with the highest ridership in the system, will be the line testing out this energy project. The energy created by this project will be used by accelerating trains on the line, stored for future use, or returned to the grid.
"The power-storage system is potentially so large – each battery array would store one megawatt of power — that SEPTA could further reduce its electric bill by buying cheap power at night to use or resell during expensive peak hours," Andrew Maykuth of the Philadelphia Inquirer writes.
Funding and Pilot Project Launch
The project is supposed to launch in the spring and is expected to save SEPTA $500,000 a year. Although this is not a ton compared to the $20 million SEPTA spends each year powering its subways, trains, buses, and electrified trolleys, if this system were used at all of the 33 electrical substations in the railway network (which it would like to do if this pilot project goes well), SEPTA could reportedly cut their energy consumption a full 40%!
To fund this $1.5 million smart-grid/energy innovation pilot project, SEPTA and smart-grid company Viridity Energy received a $900,000 grant from the Pennsylvania Energy Development Authority. Viridity is underwriting the rest of the cost.

This is such a great resource that you are providing and you give it away for free. I love seeing websites that understand the value of providing a quality resource for free. It's the old what goes around comes around routine.
photography degreesYou made certain nice points there. I did a search on the theme and found the majority of persons will have the same opinion with your blog.
Bruce Bent IIWOW!!! What stunning photographs!!! As soon as the weather gets a little nicer here in Northern Ontario, I'd like to do an activity similar to this. (My photos won't be quite as nice, though)

How many of you out there are returning to the Mustang after "years" of being uninspired? I happen to be one of them. My first car was a burgundy red 66 Fastback that my dad had owned since new. It was the car that defined cars for me in my formative years. It was a car that defied all logic as it was stolen twice and miraculously recovered somewhat intact. It was the car that made me get my first job. It was the car I loved for the 2 years I actually got to drive it. It was the car that I regretted selling when I was 18 and joined the Navy. Ever since I've always looked at newer Mustangs, and I just shrugged as none of them had the "attitude" of the 60's Stang's (Although the 85 GT raised an eyebrow) I just caught my first glimpse of the 2005 GT over the weekend at the tail-end of a piece on the Shelby concept car, I couldn't believe what I saw for that split second! I immediately went to Ford's site and there it was, an updated version of my 66! Needless to say I'm hooked, and will be getting my hands on one probably around this time next year after "some" of the initial hoopla will be over!
I agree.. It looks as if our beloved mustang has come home. I have always considered myself a Ford man, just the past decade of Stangs has not gotten me excited. That has all changed. I can't stop thinking about this work of art waiting for me each morning in my garage. A wonderful day indeed.
Count me in... my first car was a '67 fastback. Loved that car, and I've always regretted parting with it. Bought several more '67's after that, but due to problems and a lack of resources I gave up on having another. But after seeing glimpses of the prototype, I became curious - and after seeing the '05 model I've got the bug again after all of these years! The spark has been rekindled.
Kind of. I was obsessed with getting a 65-68 Mustang in high school in the 80s, but couldn't afford one, and ended up getting into Mopars. I've come close to buying later model Mustangs a few times but they never really did it for me and I have stuck with 60s Mopes. Ironically, 60s Mopes have shot past 60s Mustangs in value. In any case, after twenty years of driving 60s iron I'm really ready for a modern RWD V8 car. I think the 2005 Mustang is gonna do the trick.
At the risk of being unpopular.... I think I like the looks of the 03-04 Cobra better. I'm sure once I start to see them on the street and get a closer look I'll change my mind and start to feel like the current car looks dated, that is what happend with the Viper in 2003. Although that GT500 photoshop that MT did was sick.
Must agree, I have not been inspired by the former platform what-so-ever. So that would essentially mean, that I have not been a fan of Mustang since 77-78' timeframe. The 2005 definitely changed that view! Gonna save my pennies now boy!!!
I am only partly in the same group. I wanted a 65-66 fastback for almost 13 years before finally matching the right time with the right cost. Then I bought my 97 since it had styling points form the 60's stangs like side scallops and 3 bar taillights. However once I saw the concept drawings of the 05. I knew the 97 would be going away. Because I have always been more attracted to the 60's styling.
I think what killed it for my Dad was for a short amount of time we had 2 Mustangs, the 66' which became mine, and a 80' coupe that he picked up to be my Mom's daily driver. That car was a pile of donkey dung. It had a 255 V8 (no, that's not a typo) that could best be described as "anemic". It was was obvious to both of us that the Mustang was going in an opposite direction than we wanted, and it wouldn't have been so bad if the car didn't have a mountain of problems, but it did, and my Dad gave up on the Stang and went Chevy for one car and then exclusively Honda right up to the present day. To bad Dad didn't get to live to see the new Stang...he passed away 2 years ago, but my Mom has seen it and she told me she wants to be there for the test drive!
I had an 88 5.0 GT Vert. Moved from CA to CO. The Stang was not a good car for snowy winter mountain driving. Traded it in for a front wheel drive. Now I'm getting to the point that I can afford a weekend/nice weather car. The 05 is calling.

Re^2: How to wait for events, and not lose any, while processing them ?by Eyck (Priest) |

This is great, textbook example of handling events with additional thread, thanks.
The problem however, is that the 'processEvents' CAUSES new events to be generated, thus, without echo-filter this solution changes 1-cpu burning into multiple-cores burning program.

Like every other Shark Week sucker, I set my DVR for Shark Week's specials and was salivating at the week's big premiere: Shark of Darkness: The Wrath of Submarine. Submarine, as all Shark Week enthusiasts know, is the legendary 30-plus-foot, man-eating great white shark that chomps down on shipwreck victims right in front of us. These types of stories are what garnered Shark Week its massive popularity in the first place — documentaries of real shark behavior.
Michelle Wcisel, a zoologist who specializes in behavior and has completed a Master of Science from the University of Cape Town while studying the anti-predator tactics of Cape fur seals in Shark Alley, Geyser Rock, South Africa, appears to be one of the first to call BS on Discovery's Submarine legend.
She maintains the scientists, shipwreck and even the location of Shark Alley as portrayed in the mockumentary do not exist. Wcisel says the only fact Discovery got right in its fake-u-mentary is Submarine's scar, which actually belongs to another real shark named Prop. Wcisel thinks Discovery did this to legitimize its urban legend tale.
I can't believe I fell for it! Sure, I had moments of, "They're going to show us real video of people who were eaten? Is that OK with their relatives?" and "There's something off about these survivors. Weren't there any fat, unattractive people on that shipwreck?" and — at the end — "Oh. My. Word. That is better than any shark movie could have thought of being!" I should have known, especially since Discovery brought us Megalodon: The Monster Shark That Lives, which was chock-full of junk science and Discovery's sister channel, Animal Planet, brought us Mermaids: Body Found, which was a complete hoax.
What gives, Discovery? I want my two hours back. When viewers tune into Discovery, they want to learn something, be fascinated — come away smarter. If we want smoke, mirrors and fake-a** content, we'll watch Keeping Up With the Kardashians.
Shark Week also pissed us off with its fluff-fest, Shark After Dark, Live. Hosted by Josh Wolf, celebrity guests included Jake Johnson and Damon Wayans, who were there to promote their new movie Let's Be Cops. Just... what? WTF, Discovery? What have celebrities got to do with sharks, or Shark Week? No. No, no, no. During Shark Week, I want to hear from scientists, experts, zoologists, people who have had their arms eaten off by a shark — I don't give a rip what Wayans thinks about sharks, and now I'm not going to go see his movie out of spite.
Shark Week, or Shark Reek, as I am heretofore calling it, has turned into another blazing pile of commercial, sold-out, marketing excrement. I'm going to give Shark Week one more night to redeem itself, but if the rest of the week is anything like the premiere, Shark Week is dead to me. Shark Week can shape up or ship out.
