Deluxe Foaming Face Wash
If you've been following me for a while, you'll know that I already have a few foaming wash recipes. One for the face, body and hands. So why introduce another face wash recipe? Because this is AMAZING! It is delicious, divine, lush. I am officially in love with this combo, and my face is a…View More
Natural Fabric Softener
Fabric softener as we know it – the commercial stuff that is – is really not good for us. It's not good for the environment either. It often contains some very questionable ingredients that are known to stick to clothing, irritate skin and aggravate allergies. Companies are not required to tell you what is in…View More
Charcoal & Turmeric Peelable Face Mask
Recently, I was blown away when I looked into the contents of a few mainstream charcoal peelable face masks. With such a simple concept, how on earth can one little bottle pack in so many ingredients, and how can anyone put so many questionable chemicals into a product and feel ok about it? Ingredients such…View More
Thick, Creamy & Silky Soft Hand and Shower Wash
If you're looking for a change from my super-simple foaming wash and want something thicker and creamier, then look no further. This recipe for natural hand and shower wash is seriously amazing. With 5 ingredients, you can't go wrong! Enough with the chemicals hiding in even so-called 'eco' and 'green' brands. Did you know that many…View More
Whipped Magnesium Cream
Those with low magnesium levels are often prescribed tablets. Research is suggesting that we absorb more magnesium transdermally, hence the growing trend of magnesium oil and cream. As low magnesium levels are typically diagnosed by symptoms, it is hard to get an accurate gauge through blood tests alone. Here are a few symptoms of magnesium…View More
Pre Wash Stain & Brightening Solution
Fact – clothes get dirty. Fact – to clean dirty clothes, natural washing powder does the job well. Fact – sometimes stubborn stains appear that need a bit of extra effort to remove. It can be tempting to go out and buy a powerful commercial stain remover/bleaching agent. Please don't! I have trialled several different…View More
Blank Canvas Fizzies
These fizzy drops are PERFECT for so many applications: in a steam bath or as shower drops for congested airways; in the bath for a fun time for kids, or to help them with relaxation or congestion; as toilet-cleaning drops (they work wonders with a light scrub); in a foot spa; and the list goes on, and…View More
Beeswax Candles
Did you know that the vast majority of mainstream candles are mostly made from petroleum-based paraffin? Studies show that when burned, these candles release unwanted chemical pollutants into the air including benzene and toluene, which have been shown to cause damage to the brain, lungs and central nervous system. The synthetic fragrances often used in these candles are…View More

Reusable Beeswax Covers
I discovered the wonders of beeswax wraps almost 2 years ago. What a great alternative to disposable, land-filling, single-use cling film! I bought one set which lasted me over 12 months (so you really do get value for money) however, I wouldn't be The Inspired Little Pot if I didn't try to 'DIY' and write…View More
Borax Free Washing Powder
***RECIPE UPDATED – March 2018*** It seems that a few of you were having issues with the original borax free recipe solidifying.

Quick Fix For Musty Clothing
A few months ago I put on a pair of summer PJ's, ones that hadn't been used since April last year. They had a musty, mouldy smell to them – gross. So I threw them in the wash. I grabbed another pair; same issue. My entire draw was infected!!! I tried washing the lot in…View More
Sanitising Gel
We live in a world obsessed with killing germs. I know this so well because I used to be one of 'those' people. Not any more though, and we have never been healthier! Antibiotic resistance is a real problem and the overuse of antibacterial products is leaving us more susceptible to the germs and, it's…View More
Super Salve – One Balm for Everything
Petroleum jelly is not something I want near my skin, or my children's skin. It is a byproduct of the oil refining process and it is nasty. Containing oestrogen-mimicking chemicals like xenoestrogens, which may act on hormone receptors in the body, leading to estrogen dominance, I can only conclude that it is not good. Hydrocarbons…View More
Fizzy Bath Drops
I couldn't tell you how many variations of this recipe I have tried. Turns out bath bombs are temperamental and delicate little buggers and explode without warning, quite easily… Grrr!! Anyway, this final product is dead easy to make and will hopefully get you excited about the prospect of giving others a cute little hamper for…View More

I will admit, it took a while to get him off the supermarket crap as there was no way he was going to rub a balm into his hairy pits. I kinda don't blame him and kudos…View More
Dishwasher Tablets
I can't get over how expensive dishwasher tablets are. Especially the "ECO" varieties… If you haven't heard of 'green washing', let me fill you in quickly: Some companies like to tell us what they're NOT including in their products, and print words like 'natural', 'green', 'eco' etc., yet still use some very questionable ingredients. In…View More
Make-Up Remover – DIY, SIMPLE, LOW TOX
Don't waste your money on commercial make-up remover. Not when an ingredient as simple as coconut oil can do the job while simultaneously nourishing the delicate skin on your face.

You might recall, a few months ago, I bought the book The Homemade Pantry. It is not only inspiring, but also chalk full of great recipes. My plan was to make everything in it at least once before the baby arrived, however, that did not happen.
So far I've made the granola (which I never did post about - I'll get around to it. I make it twice a month because it's so darn good), the 'OREO' cookies and now the yogurt. You may also recall that I received a yogurt maker for mother's day and I finally put it to work.
My apologies for not sharing the recipe for the yogurt here as I'm unsure about copyright laws and such. Plus, I really think you'd love this book - so just go and treat yourself to one. And no, I'm not getting paid or receiving anything from the publisher or author of this book. I just like it.
The recipe for yogurt is simple. Milk (I used whole milk), a yogurt starter (I used plain yogurt that I had on hand, you can also buy starter that I think comes in powder form but plain yogurt works just as well), a candy thermometer and any flavouring that you'd like to add. I really, really, really love anything vanilla so I scraped the seeds from two vanilla beans and added those plus the beans themselves to the milk while it was heating up. When the milk was cooled to the right temperature, I removed the bean pods. That was the only variation that I made with this recipe. For the rest, I just followed the directions, set the timer and waited. This morning, I tried some and it was really yummy. It had the tang of plain yogurt but with a hint of vanilla. If you like it sweeter, you can add honey to it - I just may have to try that too.

- Egusi(Melon) Seeds - 3 cigar cups/600g
- Red Palm Oil - 2 cooking spoons
- Beef - Best cut with shaki(cow tripe)
- Fish - Dry Fish and smoked Fish
- Crayfish
- Vegetable - Pumpkin leaves or Bitter Leaf
- Seasoning of your choice - 3 Cubes
- Traditional Seasoning - Fermented soya (optional)
Important Tool
Before preparing the soup, soak the dry fish for about half an hour.
If you are using the very hard stockfish, boil it for 20minutes and leave in the hot water to soak for 30mins.
If you are using the softer fish, just leave them in cold water till you break them apart with your hands. Get all your ingredients ready.
Cooking Directions
There are two main methods of cooking egusi soup. One is called oil before egusi and the other is called egusi before oil, but I will take you through oil before egusi method.
Put 2 cooking spoons of red palm oil in a dry pot and set on your cooker to heat.
Bleach the oil for a while and add the egusi to fry. This should be done on low heat to avoid burning.
Keep frying until you see the egusi getting drier. You will know the egusi is dry when it starts sticking to the bottom of the pot.
Now start adding the stockfish, shaki, fermented soya and crayfish while still stirring the egusi. You can add some water if you feel the soup is too thick, then add the vegetable to it at this point.
Cover the pot to cook for about 15-20 mins.
The egusi is done when you notice the oil comes to the surface of the pot.
Add the meat, salt to taste and seasoning. Then cover to cook for another 5mins.
Your Egusi is ready for celebration at this point.
Serve with Pounded Yam, Semo or Fufu. You know what I'm saying.
Have a wonderful Easter Celebration with your Yummy Egusi Soup!

BOSTON -- Gov. Charlie Baker announced the nomination of Fitchburg Assistant Solicitor Mark A. Goldstein to the Worcester District Court on Wednesday.
Goldstein, according to the governor's office, operates his own law practice out of Gardner and represents, among others, regional transit, housing and planning agencies.
He also serves as town counsel in addition to serving in Fitchburg.
"I have known attorney Goldstein for several years. He is man of intregrity and always puts community first," said Fitchburg Mayor Stephen DiNatale on his Facebook page. "Fitchburg congratulates attorney Goldstein on his appointment."
Goldstein teaches law at Mount Wachusett Community College focusing on business law, litigation, estates, real estate law, legal seminar and insurance Law, according to the governor's office
He graduated with a bachelor of arts degree from UMass Amherst in 1979. He earned his masters of city planning from the University of Pennsylvania in 1982 and his juris doctorate from the Western New England College School of Law in 1991.
He and his family reside in Gardner.
Judicial nominations are subject to the advice and consent of the Governor's Council. Applicants for judicial openings are reviewed by the Judicial Nominating Commission and recommended to the governor. Baker established the commission in February 2015 to screen judicial applications.
The District Court hears a wide range of criminal, civil, housing, juvenile, mental health, and other types of cases. District Court criminal jurisdiction extends to all felonies punishable by a sentence up to five years, and many other specific felonies with greater potential penalties; all misdemeanors; and all violations of city and town ordinances and by-laws. In civil matters, District Court judges conduct both jury and jury-waived trials, and determine with finality any matter in which the likelihood of recovery does not exceed $25,000.

I've not been blogging. This is my mistake, life has been in the way with my parents moving from Kentucky to North Carolina, some personal issues involved in that, their house being built apparently on an ancient VooDoo burial ground, and my inability to cope with it all.
Oh. And my deciding, randomly, to take much of the information that I know about lab draws and tracking laboratory trends and writing a book. 9 days before the Houston OH event. Yes, you saw that. Nine. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. And I did it. But that's another blog post. Coming. And yes, they will be for sale. Once I figure out how much to charge for shipping, etc. Not the point, MOVING ON.
So, this weekend, the OH peeps were able to listen to the wonderful Connie Stapleton (who I REALLY think needs to do a segment on transfer addictions… PLEASE folks? Please tell her this? It's a severe problem in our population with "current" numbers at 1 in 3 people being alcoholics and I think the number is VERY soft), the hilarious Mary Jo Rapini, and Bariatric Chef Dave Fouts (who, by the way, is ONE OF US).
But. But. But.
Then there was Dr. Garth Davis. And his little friend Anessa Chumbley, a "Bariatric Dietician." And I know what you're going to say. "But ANDREA!!! He's on TV! And! And! And! He's a SURGEON! He's gone to medical school! And she's a DIETICAN! Who are YOU?!?!"
Well, let's go over the talks.
Dr. Davis has pretty much gone round the bend. He's now saying [sic] that the human body does not need as much protein as "once thought." And in speaking to his own patients, I can tell you that he has stopped advocating the use of, you know, meat. He's now also a strong advocate of "eating your vitamins" rather than taking a supplement. Paraphrased here, "I told a patient to eat grapefruit to lower heart disease, they told me they couldn't eat grapefruit with their heart disease medication. Do they not see if they ate the grapefruit, they wouldn't NEED the medication?"
This is all well and good. EXCEPT? In a body system that DOES NOT ABSORB VITAMINS FROM FOOD. Period. End of story.
Here is a reality check for you RNYers, and I'm sorry they did not put this in the brochure – the further out from surgery you are? The more you will emulate a DS in terms of micronutrient malabsorption. Check that with a REAL bariatric dietician. Or with some of the real life long term RNY patients. I now massively malabsorb A, D, K. Never did before. Hrm, imagine that. Surgeons and doctors will have you believing that the micronutrient absorbption gets better the further out you get. They are lying. And we simply do not, do not, do not, do not! absorb close to enough micronutrients from food. Especially in the quantities that we eat to avoid weight gain, especially 18+ months out. I do not know why Dr. Davis has lost his mind? But he has turned whackadoodle and has lost any and all respect I have for him.
So turning to the "bariatric dietician" — Well. Where do I start?
I went in with such great optimism. Kaitlin Nelson did not. But I had hope.
It died. Quickly. Within 2 minutes with the most asinine props imaginable. I'd say they belonged in grade school, but that would be pushing it. Pre-school, perhaps. In fact? One of the props was a size 2T pair of jeans (which I still can not remember the significance of.. so WAY TO GO ON THE PROPS!).
I DID take notes:
So where should I start?
- "Carbonation is bad" – no.
- Iron's job description: "Carries oxygen to every cell" – NO. Hemoglobin, which, yes, is made up of iron in part, carries oxygen to every cell. But iron itself does not.
- "Heme iron likes acid." – no.
- "Next time you eat some red meat, eat a few orange slices with it." – no.
- "All iron, unless you get it naturally, will hurt your 'tummy' " – NO. Heme and carbonyl are the gentlest and help the most people with this.
- "Iron should not be taken with ANY calcium." – no. There are tolerances – ionic iron can be taken with 300mgs of calcium and heme up to 600mgs. So SIPS OF MILK are fine, dammit.
- "We should take our calcium after food because that is when there is the most acid in the stomach. We don't take TUMS (aka carbonate) because it is an ANTACID." – FUCKING HELL NO. We take calcium citrate because our guts don't HAVE acid in them, regardless of food ingestion and the citrate portion of the molecule adds enough acid to properly absorb the calcium. We do not take calcium carbonate because it requires a high amount of stomach acid to break the carbonate apart from the calcium because it is rock. Not having that amount of acid means it goes directly to the kidneys, which also means it tends to cause kidney stones in many people (especially those who do not drink enough water).
- "We get lots of calcium from foods." – no. Calcium fortified foods are high in calcium phosphate, which also requires a high amount of stomach acid to break down. These are also fairly useless to us.
- "There is absolutely no Intrinsic Factor in the pouch." – no. The body still makes IF. Period. In fact, the recent research shows the problem isn't in a LACK of IF, it's a lack of tolerance of foods high in B12 (ie red meat) that is a cause of pernicious anemia.
- "There is no absorption outside of the stomach of B12." – NO. There is passive absorption, without IF, of 1-3% depending on the person. BTW, B12 isn't absorbed in the stomach. Very little is.
- "Thiamin covers nerves." – NO. Myelin does, which is a fatty substance. Thiamin IS important for nerves, but not because it covers the nerve sheaths.
- "No such thing as water soluble toxicity." Which she then contradicted herself during the Q&A part. Great. There IS, by the way. Some water solubles are VERY toxic in high range levels, others not so much, and others it takes a long time to get to toxic range.
- Metaphors using trucks, and 2T jeans, and cheerios trying to emulate hypochromic anemia (which, btw, she used the wrong terminology for?)
- "We should eat lots of orange fruits and veggies to get our vitamin A in the form of beta-carotene." – NO nonononono. Beta-carotene requires a very acidic environment to absorb, a high fat concentration eaten WITH the food to absorb, and is only converted to retinol in the duodenum. Last time I checked, these are problems for 3 of 4 major surgery types. Additionally, as we age, our pH acidity becomes more neutral — so you older AGBers are fucked, too. Sorry. Also? You need a ton of BC to get enough vitamin A. 14 units of dietary beta-carotene make 1 unit of retinol. Lovely conversion rate, there.
- "Centrum is not the best vitamin out there." – No, in fact almost all general multis take Centrum as a template. Sorry, try again.
- "You should buy vitamins from companies you trust. Opurity is good because they are China free." – Please kill me now. I mean, seriously, I'm in New Orleans right now? Come find me and KILL ME because I know 3 people who moved from BA or Celebrate to Opurity and their labs TANKED.
So. yeah. That was informative. On how to completely fuck up your life post surgery. Follow Dr. Garth's "become a vegetarian, don't do protein!" life and listen to the well-coiffed and beautiful but idiotic dietician who doesn't know squat about supplementation post-WLS and get blood as thin as water.
The sad part is that people thought she was very informative. This really hurts my head.
And I'll be the one to have to fix them. How do I charge for labs without getting in trouble?
But yet I don't have letters behind my name and can only prove the above with medical studies, research, and long-term patients and labs to prove it. So.. I'm just an idiot.

Andrea – thank you for writing about this. After hearing Dr. Garth in Ohio and all the notes I took on his vewpoint… I just couldn't bring myself to waste my breath (or energy) trying to correct his poor advice from his session at the conference. I've had several of the Davis patients come to me asking if they should really stop eating meat. It's sad that he's giving such hogwash advice to his patients. Eventually his stats will tank and his patients will start taking it to court and then maybe he'll come to his senses. I didn't get to hear Anessa's presentation in Ohio, so I didn't realize how bad she was too. It all just makes me shake my head and wonder how bad things have to get before they come to their senses.
Thanks again!
((( HUGS ))) One self-learner to another… I have your back..
BTW: let's do on like nutritional program to get "paper" Then we can tell people as "professionals" …lol. I think these programs start at $600?
I don't agree with your self description but…. you're OUR idiot! The one we know we can depend on for the truth, the one that ONLY has our best interest at heart. I hope you do understand how much we all depend on you and how grateful we are to have you watching our backs.
Alphabet soup behind your name or not…..I trust you above them all.
O.M.G. I am sitting here in utter shock. Maybe OH needs to be addressed on who they are picking to hold these conference sessions. Did you throw stuff at them during the Q&A time? How did that go over? I am just flabbergasted.
I really hope a conference comes close to me again. It looks like you all had a great time!!!
Tell us how you REALLY feel, surgery sister No, seriously, that woman has NO clue what she was talking about and I MISSED her "lecture". Yeah, I think those of us who live it every day are more knowledgeable than the one with the degree, in this case. Oh, girl, they need to let YOU do the Vitamin/Supplement talk next time. I vote for it!
Wow, there are no words. I knew Dr. Garth was on this meatless kick for himself, did not realized he was actually discouraging his patients from eating protein. Glad I missed it, he didn't get on that kick in NY. At least not to the same degree. Thanks for all that you do, it's very much appreciated. Can't wait for the book!
Also interested in knowing if you tripped them up during the Q&A part. With your headaches though, I hope they didn't have you reduced to sitting in a corner whimpering.
Cheerios? 2T pants? Erk.
{{hugs}} {{hugs}} When it comes time to get the letters after your name, you will have a cult following to prove your point. I'll volunteer to be one of your vita-pigs (guinea pigs for vitamins) for your studies.
Don't stop, Andrea.
Glad we have you around to keep it real Andrea! Continue to write and post the truth.
Go GET that piece of paper!!! You're far more qualified that most of the people who have the credentials, and you deserve to get paid for your time and effort.
Sad thing is, because he has the 'M.D.' behind his name, his word (and anyone he brings with him) will be taken as gospel to most.
In my opinion (and countless others) I would rather hear your take on the vitamin situation, because you have been there. Has he had surgery, or had malnutrition induced illness? NOPE!
I can't wait for your book. I will order it the first day available.
Thank you so much for posting this…How very, very sad that even though more WLS are being done than ever, the "snake oil men" come out, and even WORSE is that "celebrity M.D's" spread false information.
Andrea, and all the others who have ADVOCATED for us, who have done the hard work…Thank you! ((((hugs)))) I am so glad that SOMEONE is keeping up with the times, researching and challenging (old) information to keep us healthy!
There is no reason that we should not be advocates for our own lives. We are fortunate to have those (Like Andrea, and many others!) who have taken the time to truly study how vitamins interact with WLS patients.
Thank you, from a WLS patient who has GREAT labs thanks to your wisdom! Please know, despite your "detractors" and "nay-sayers" that YOU are saving lives. That is some great Karma and we are grateful!
As usual, you provide invaluable advice to us post-ops. Very thankful for your research, understanding and willingness to share. Oh, and I plan to purchase your lab workbook.
Actually, start calling yourself a journalist. A muckraker. I think you have the chops!
Well, I never respected Dr. Davis so I guess I can't lose respect for him.
And Centrum isn't the best vitamin? HA! I looked into about 10 different vitamins when picking my multi and that's the one I picked. I've been offered a couple of new ones since then but when I compare them to my Centrum, they don't measure up. Now, there may be better ones out there that I just didn't find, but it's a pretty decent multi and hard to beat.
It's interesting that some surgeons are now telling their patients that they eventually absorb vitamins again. Someone posted that on OH and I said it wasn't true, but I assumed they had just misunderstood what their doctor told them. The thing is: the intestines that remain can grow more villi, sure, but the part that isn't in the food path any more isn't there. How can it absorb stuff 3 years down the line *if it isn't there*? 3×0 is still 0.
Ooh, just say Paula's post. Yeah, call yourself a Health Writer. That's a real title people use all the time.
Wow… you are amazing Andrea. Amazing!

ASUS Z170 Board Revealed
ASUS Z170 Board Revealed - Looks Great in White
Published: 2nd June 2015 | Source: 4gamer |
ASUS Z170 Board Revealed
At Computex we have already seen motherboard from the likes of MSI and other manufactures, we had yet to see from ASUS until earlier today where we saw what looked to be their Z170 Deluxe series motherboard.
This may not be a final production sample, but waht I see here is encouraging, nice big motherboard heatsinks, lovely white detailing and all of the motherboard connections that anyone can ask for.
To start off with this board supports USB 3.1, having two of the new connector and what looks like a USB Type-C connection at the rear and has four USB 3.0 connections, with two USB 3.0 internal headers, which is a first for me.
Under the lower (some would call southbridge) heatsink we see that there is a single M.2 connector, which would be ideal for newer ultra fast NVMe SSDs. there is also a SATA Express port at the back and a total of 6 SATA 3.0 ports.
We can see that ASUS is still using dedicated sound components in this board, as is standard in many modern high end motherboards.
Below we also get to see Intel's new LGA 1051 socket, which will support Intel's Skylake CPUs. Right now it is unknown if ASUS as an OC Socket planned for this CPU, or if it is possable with this CPU.
You can join the discussion on ASUS' Z170 Deluxe motherboard on the OC3D Forums.
An ASUS Z170 board has been revealed, and it looks very good in White.http://www.overclock3d.net/articles/cpu_mainboard/asus_z170_board_revealed/1Posted by OC3D on Tuesday, 2 June 2015

Those memory lanes appear to be DDR3, I thought they were going for DDR4 with Skylake ? Unless it's just the angle.
There are even some monsters that will use both (though not at the same time).Quote

Wines of Italy
Cascina Del Pozzo
World of Wine Guide Imports currently represents Cascina Del Pozzo in Florida.
There are faces and eyes in the history of the company. Broad shoulders and hands that shape a family affair come from the past to the present. A Giovanni Marchisio, grandfather and founder, had the foresight to have traced a route: one that leads to the land and its fruits. From him Cascina Del Pozzo learned the attachment to the values and passion for a job that can not be taken lightly.
Under Gianmario, the company continues to evolve.
The wine is a matter of choice, and there is a philosophy behind each choice. Cascina Del Pozzo chose tradition as a guiding principle of each step of the process. Because there is no Cascina Del Pozzo without the land. 13 hectares of horizons and hills in the land of Castellinaldo, under the sky of Roero.
Located in Piedmont(Roero): a combination that does not need much, if any, to produce high quality wines with passion. Only varieties that are combined with the history of the land that surrounds Cascina Del Pozzo: Arneis, Dolcetto, Barbera and Nebbiolo, are grown. Those are their most precious gems, and they stay true to their roots and dedicate the winery to making the best possible wines with what the land gives them. In return they hope for healthy fruits; juicy and fragrant. To make it to the cellar, only the best fruits of the vineyards on the property are used.
The structures and technologies that are used are advanced. The wine cellar is new and spacious, ideal for grapes and to give them the attention they require. Throughout the aging and ripening process Cascina Del Pozzo follow the pivotal concept of tradition strictly using large steel tanks and wood barrels. As a result, they leave it to you to judge. Their wines walk for the world. We welcome you you to join us!
Coming Soon! World of Wine Guide will soon be representing Cantine Paradiso in Florida!

Lake Charlotte is a boutique winery and restaurant nestled in the midst of the picturesque Perth Hills region of Western Australia. I'm so pleased we decided to have lunch at this restaurant, it was a wonderful way to spend a Sunday afternoon.When you are in South Western Australia, it is a must to enjoy what at least one winery has to offer. We chose Lake Charlotte winery this time as it is one of the closest to the Chidlow area where we are living, and I had been there before on a previous visit with M&M and wanted Neil to enjoy it as well. It is only open on Saturday and Sunday and some Public Holidays. It is family owned and is For Sale. The current owners have been there for 12 years and want to spend more time with family and grandchildren.
|View of Lake Charlotte from the balcony of the restaurant
Lake Charlotte isn't located in the more well known Swan Valley region, but is still only one hour from the Perth CBD. It is a family owned business where the owner chats to the diners ensuring everything is to their liking. It was a cool day when we were there, and we were offered blankets to put over our knees as being North Queenslanders, we feel the cold more. However I declined as it wasn't that cold once the plastic blinds were lowered. A nice thought though.
|A very nice Semillon from the vineyard
|This photo taken from our dining table
|Relaxing and enjoying a drop of the Semillon
The dessert cabinet looked very inviting, however I find now that eating 3 large courses in the middle of the day is challenging as I get older. One table of guests had decided to sample all of the sweets with tea and coffee instead of ordering a main meal. Why not? So I just admired all of the desserts as they were taken to their table. However my eye was definitely on the Lemon Meringue Pie.
Thanks for dropping by.
Best wishes

Naturally for Mothers Day next Sunday I had to design and make a card. With new stitch inspiration from my new Encyclopaedia of Stitches in the form of Rosebud Stitch, flowers were the obvious choice. It was easy to think of a slightly corny saying for the card. Besides, it might be corny but t's true, I wouldn't change my mum for anything! So here's the card I made, which you are more than welcome to reproduce for your own mum. Because it doesn't mention mothers day in the saying, you could use it as a birthday card for your mother too. I'm quite proud with the card, it's pretty easy and simple to make, once you've got the hang of all the different stitches!
Here's the chart I've developed. I stitched it using 2 strands of embroidery cotton for each colour, on 14 count pale blue aida using the DMC threads and beads stated below the chart, but if, like me, you have a stash of embroidery threads then just use whatever is too hand, or tailor it using your mums' favourite colours! The finished Chart size is approx. 3" (7.5cm) x 4" (10cm). Remember to cut the aida at least 2" bigger.
Writing: DMC 552
Basket: DMC420
Flower centres: DMC 445 (rosebud and spikey flower)
Flower centre, Daisy: Mill Hill yellow seed beads (can substitute with French knots in DMC 445)
Rosebud: DMC Colour Variations: 4180
Daisy: DMC Light effects 5200
Spikey Flower: DMC Perle 8 colour 99
Leaves/ Stems: DMC 320
How to Stitch:
Writing: Mostly Backstitch with some Cross Stitch
Basket: All Backstitch
Rosebud: Use Rose Stitch with a French Knot centre
Spiky Flower: Use Satin Stitch for the centre, with Backstitch petals ending in a French knot.
Daisy: Use Lazy Daisy Stitch for the petals, add a seed bead or French Knot for the centre.
Leaves: Use small Lazy Daisy stitch.
Stems: Use Backstitch for the Rose and Daisies, and Stem Stitch for the Spiky flowers.
Once you've finished stitching it, it should look something like this! From here on it's easy, all you need to do is trim down the cross stitch to the required size. (I left 5 squares either side and 7 squares above and below) and simple glue it onto the card, using either a clear drying adhesive such as PVA or double sided sticky tape. Just make sure you have glued down all the edges to prevent fraying.
As an alternative, you may wish to fray the edges, in which case leave an extra couple of squares all the way round after trimming the cross stitch down, and gently and carefully pull away the threads for those extra 2 squares. You can embellish the card or finish it in any way you want. Write your own personal message inside the card, and hey presto, you've made a simple embroidery mothers day card! She will love it as you have taken the time and effort to make it!
Happy Mothers day!

I just want to be alone, secluded from the rest of world to think about my wonderful morning with the boyfriend. I want to cherish & keep my thoughts with me as I get through this Tuesday afternoon.
8:25 a.m.
My alarm went off to start my day. I must wait for that "On my way" text from him telling me he's left his house. It takes about an hour to get to my area. I lay in bed unwilling & unable to get up because I'm so tired. I didn't want to wake up, so I just closed my eyes until 9:00 hit & I had to get ready. I wanted to sleep in, but the boyfriend & I decided to get together for breakfast. I grumbled & dragged myself out of bed. As I started to get ready, I got more excited to see him. I just saw him on V-day, which was 5 days ago, but it's still 5 days without feeling his touch, seeing him smile, kissing his lips, hugging his body & looking into his eyes.
9:40 a.m.
He arrived in a black jacket & blue pants. He's not really the matching kind & I told him that he needed me to help him with that sort of thing. He smiled at me because he knows it's true.
Around 9:47 a.m., we headed to Dallas Diner, which is about 10 minutes from my house. I offered to pay this time. He has a cold and we mustn't kiss. He wanted to kiss me most of the time, but he couldn't. There's no way he can get me sick. I can't.
9:57 a.m.
We made our way into the diner. I feel like I'm on vacation, I shared with him. He laughed & smiled. We ordered $2.00 meals & waters. We're a cheap couple, a cheap bunch, I must add! Our conversation shifted from him to me, to him. I told him that we had a breakfast dinner the night before, which is his specialty. Whenever we go to a diner for dinner, he always orders breakfast food. My brother said that he would have loved our dinner. Then he simply said with attitude, I just like breakfast food. Whoa, man. Where did this attitude come from? Huh? What? He wouldn't really look at me either. After that, most of the breakfast, the roles reversed, I gave HIM attitude.
First of all, there was no reason for this new-found attitude. He develops these attitude moments sometimes & I don't like it. Maybe it's just that he's so comfortable with me that if he feels like giving attitude, he can & he will. I felt so uncomfortable & defensive in that moment. Literally, I wanted to leave because the situation was so tense. I couldn't take it. As I gave him attitude, he said, Relax. Um. "Relax?" YOU relax, man.
Yes, I did say "my wonderful morning with the boyfriend," but I'm not including this bump, this part of the morning. Everything else was great besides this moment. I'm not sure why he does that at times, but it really bothers me. It's certainly something that needs to be addressed though. Make a mental note of that! After this initial awkward, disgusting moment, he changed the subject. It was fine after that.
We decided to go to the park. It was a sunny, nice morning. However, as we drove to the park, the clouds formed in the sky.
I'm afraid that we're going to run out of things to say. I'm scared man. Boy am I. What if that happens?! What do I do?! Do I dig things out of my ass to talk about? How do I handle that? Will that be the end of our relationship? These sorts of questions come to mind as we date.
It was breezy & chilly out of nowhere. However, we still walked around the park. He would occasionally put his arm around me. But, then, I got scared & held his hand. There was a rustle in the bushes. It's just a bird, he said with confidence. He would protect me if anything happened though. I know it! All of a sudden, as we're finishing our walk & playing on the playground, which he didn't really take part in, it began to rain. Great timing. How weird!
I was just thinking how adorable he was at breakfast before the attitude moment. The sparkle in his eyes, his laugh, his smile, the way he spoke, how cute he looked enjoying his eggs with peppers sprinkled on them.
11:45 a.m.
We headed back to my house. He had to leave between 12:30-12:45 because he had work at 2:15 & it would take him an hour to get back. I felt okay, content that he was leaving. I mean, of course I didn't want him to go, but I was alright. It never hits me until he's actually gone. The worst is the day after. When he leaves at night, I'm okay. However, for some reason, the next morning is terrible, horrible, disgusting. I miss him like crazy!
We hugged, touched, held hands, talked, laughed, smiled & enjoyed each others company. On this particular day, I wanted to keep hugging him. I didn't want him to walk out that door. I couldn't handle it. I didn't want to deal with the emptiness I would feel, but it had to happen. It had to come.
12:25 p.m.
I should get going, he said in a monotone voice. No, my head said. No, no, no, I don't want you to leave, but he had to. We began to walk out the door until we got into the kitchen, where my dad was. Him & my dad spoke for a few minutes then I walked him out with an umbrella. In my opinion, this is the worst part– saying goodbye. It was Tuesday afternoon & we had to say goodbye. It was too short & such a tease.
When I walked back into my house & sat in the living room, I felt like I was going to cry. Literally, I tried not to shed those tears. I didn't allow them to come. I pushed them away from the surface. I couldn't let them make an appearance.
His eyes stayed with me as I worked out today. His face, smile & laugh came to mind as I made my way on the treadmill.
But, I have to tell you, it's getting harder & harder to say goodbye.

Hi all,
I really need a vacation(sorry to be so blunt). I haven't been on one in over a year, and some of you may think "well that's not too bad" well to you it probably isn't but to me that's like AN ETERNITY because (this is gonna make me sound really pompus) I'm used to going somewhere AT LEAST once a month. Even not one day out of Omaha since like July(don't het me wrong I love it here). Not even to my favorite hotel The Fairmont Turnberry Isle in Miami. Well it's a good thing that we didn't go to Hawaii this weekend because(if you follow me on Twitter you already know this)their was a HUGE scare there with that earthquake in Chile. The waves weren't too bad only about an (I think) 3ft. surge. But it was preety big earthquake. The strongest this year in fact(yep even strongere than Haiti). So big in fact the tsunami waves hit all the way to Japan!!! But there was no extensive damage beyond Chile. In other news the olympics end today 😦 in fact I just watched the US v. CANADA hockey game the US tied it in the last 30 seconds but Canada won in sudden death. Well Silver isn't bad. Well gottago.
I need a vacation

Fitch: Eastern growth boosts German residential property prices
Rising residential property prices in some of Germany's less wealthy eastern regions supports our view that broad-based price growth will underpin national home price rises, Fitch Ratings says. Fitch forecasts prices to rise nationally by around 4% per annum this year and next in our most recent Global Housing and Mortgage Market Outlook – 2017.
Fitch has mapped the latest property prices from research and consulting firm BulwienGesa for 127 German towns and cities onto our own four categories based on a purchasing power index (PPI). We use the PPI categories (from A to D, with A exhibiting highest purchasing power) when we analyse default probability and recovery rates in the German residential property market.
According to BulwienGesa, German housing prices rose 5.5% in 2016. Stable economic growth, supply constraints and low interest rates have supported average annual growth rates of around 5% p.a. since 2011. Group A regions, including the wealthiest metropolitan areas such as Munich, Frankfurt and Dusseldorf, have continued to enjoy strong growth (over the last 15 years, prices have almost doubled in Group A regions, while rising less in the less wealthy categories – B 68%, C 58%, D 27%).
However, there is considerable variation even within the four PPI Groups. For example, over the last five years, cumulative home price growth in Group C and D regions in the former East Germany of 40% has outpaced that in the same PPI regions in the West, where prices rose 26% (measured as a simple average between house and apartment growth). Since 2014, annual C and D growth rates in eastern regions even outpaced that seen in Group A regions nationally.

TOKYO (CBS.MW) -- Selective buying of Japanese electronics and semiconductor stocks pointed the Nikkei Average in the direction of a fourth straight session of gains on Wednesday.
Most markets in Asia ended higher, with those in South Korea and Taiwan turning in star performances. Hong Kong's Hang Seng tacked on 1.55 percent, while South Korea's KOSPI gained 2.44 percent. The region's loser, the JSX in Indonesia, fell 1.03 percent.
Japan's Nikkei rose 57.74 points, or 0.35 percent, to close at 16,356.03. The broader TOPIX index of first section stocks on the Tokyo exchange closed down 0.32 percent at 1,495.44.

(HIT), which the Nihon Keizai daily reported would allow its R&D divisions to sell technologies directly to other firms, saw its shares advance 2.0 percent.
Analysts said sentiment toward these stocks has been supported by the 13-percent gain over the last three days in The Philadelphia Stock Exchange Semiconductor index.
Japanese automakers faced selling, however, with Toyota Motor's shares (TM) sliding 2.3 percent and Honda Motor (HMC) relinquishing 2.0 percent. Tire maker Bridgestone's (BRDCY) woes continued, tumbling 10.0 percent, as the investigation into accidents involving tires made by its U.S. subsidiary has revealed a higher death toll at 62.
The dollar edged down against the yen mid afternoon in Tokyo trading at 108.99 yen from above 109 yen the previous day.
In South Korea, trading resumed after Tuesday's public holiday. The blue-chip Kospi Index gained 17.89 points to close at 751.14 points.

On Wednesday, Richard Li, chairman of the Internet group Pacific Century CyberWorks, resigned as deputy chairman and executive director of conglomerate Hutchison Whampoa, according to a statement from the company run by his billionaire father Li Ka-shing.
Hutchison Whampoa shares (HUWHY) rose 1.7 percent to 118.00 Hong Kong dollars, while shares of CyberWorks (PCCLF) gained 2.6 percent to 15.80 Hong Kong dollars.
Elsewhere in the region, Singapore's Straits Times Index rose 1.51 percent to 2,185.87 points, while Malaysia's KLSE Composite edged up 0.46 percent to 810.47.

this week marked my 24th week of pregnancy! that's roughly 5 1/2 months (i think anyway- there seems to be varying opinions, but that makes sense to me..). i'm feeling good for the most part and have really begun enjoying this magical journey of pregnancy. my favorite thing is feeling her move around and throw punches and kicks. it's honestly one of the most amazing things i've ever experienced! this weekend we celebrated as one of my oldest friends tied the knot- right here in brooklyn. it was a gorgeous fall day and it was so nice to hang out with old friends. my dear friend maggie is just 2 1/2 months ahead of me. it's been fun to go through all of this together and, in all honesty, it's really nice to have her go first!
here's a shot of the 2 of us and our bumps ♥

Marcia Wallace, star on the eternally popular cartoon, The Simpsons, died yesterday at the age of 70. According to TMZ, Marcia died in her home in California with loved ones all around after a few months of declining health.
Wallace is perhaps best known for her role as Edna Krabapple, which she voiced for nearly two and a half decades. For some, she is equally well known for her role as Carol Kester, a witty and talented receptionist, which she played alongside Bob Newhart on his show. Her role on the show was a part that Wallace was proud to play, as her character deviated from the typical stereotypes associated with secretaries at the time and provided an excellent role model for women on television.
Wallace's longstanding television career included numerous other roles, guest spots, and appearances. She reprised her role as Carol Kester in the show Murphy Brown. She participated in a litany of game shows. She was the neighbor in Full House and the housekeeper in Comedy Central's, That's My Bush! Her most impressive feat is that she is one of the few entertainers who will end their careers with the privilege of having secured mulitple iconic roles on television.
Her coworkers on The Simpsons have taken to Twitter to announce their grief at her passing and the fate of the beloved Edna Krabapple is unknown at this point. An announcement that had previously been made stating a mainstay Simpsons character would be killed off next season has been rumored to have nothing to do with Wallace's death. The announcement was made a month ago, and hinted that the character had earned the voice actor an Emmy. Wallace won an Emmy for her voice work as Edna in 1992 and while it is being asserted that the announcement is not connected with her, it is hard to fathom how anyone else could take over such an iconic role. It has also been confirmed that the Simpsons crew knew of her health problems leading up to her death.
There are some rumors that the character will be retired.
According to a friend of Marcia Wallace, the Simpsons star has died as the result of complications from breast cancer. Originally diagnosed in 1985, Wallace received treatment and was able to begin healing, surviving for nearly 30 years after the diagnosis. She attributed her survival to early detection efforts. After her husband, Dennis Hawley, died in 1992 of pancreatic cancer, she began to speak publicly in hopes of bringing awareness to women about breast cancer.
The couple had one child together, a son that they adopted name Michael Wallace Hawley. Marcia Wallace's last project is the soon to be released movie, Muffin Top, which features the immensely proud mother and her son on screen together.
Watch the video below to see Marcia Wallace use her iconic role as Edna Krabapple to help bolster her efforts to raise awareness for breast cancer and to inspire women to take action to protect their health. Having died a mere week before turning 71, Marcia Wallace, the invaluable entertainer and advocate will be sorely missed by those who loved her, including the multitudes of Simpsons fans, many of whom spent most of their lives hearing her voice on their televisions weekly.

Public Health Ministry Officials in Kenya are investigating the deaths of millions of aquatic animals, the latest in a string of mysterious animal deaths around the world.
Conservationists suspect the deaths that started last week might have been caused by agro chemicals from farms, that drain into the river. Hoteliers in Masai Mara Game Reserve are now expressing fear that the chemicals might kill animals that depend on the river. "The deaths could have been caused by agro chemicals from large scale farms on the upper side of the river. The chemicals might also kill hippos, crocodiles and other animals that drink water from the river," said Ben Kipeno, a conservationist from the northern side of the reserve.
Meanwhile, wildlife officials say they have no idea what is killing thousands of ducks and geese along Lake Erie and the Maumee River.
When they first discovered the trend a few weeks ago, only a few birds were infected. As of last Friday, around 200 birds have been linked to the mystery illness.
Infected birds simply throw their heads back and lose their motor skills before they die.
No one knows how far it could spread.
"This may be something that's not at all going to affect people, but it may be, and we need to figure it out to know what's going on," said Nature's Nursery's Laura Zitzelberger.
So far, labs tests confirm that the birds did not die of the avian flu.
State wildlife officials say they may never know what is causing the deaths.
About 5,000 birds fell from the sky in Arkansas over the New Year's weekend. That incident is part of a string of fish and animal deaths seen in the U.S. and Europe, including a case in Maryland where two million fish washed up on the shores of Chesapeake Bay earlier this month, blamed on a rapid drop in temperature.
In Quebec City, wildlife officials there said pigeons are also dying at an alarming rate.
A spokesperson for the Quebec Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries said tests are currently being performed at the animal pathology lab in the provincial capital.
"The cause right now isn't known," said Nicolas Begin. "It's not related to what happened in the U.S. (But) we don't see this sort of thing every day and we're treating this as a serious matter."
Wildlife officials are stating that the birds weren't killed by the avian flu or the West Nile virus.
"There's something going on," he said. "This is not normal."

text: I've been doing a little investigation into the best way to shoot DV with a veiw to resing up to 35mm motion film. I say shoot in frame mode and use an anamorphic 16x9 adaptor rather than the digital crop and stretch 16x9 mode on the camera. However although I can find mention of such adaptors for the xm1 I havn't been able to find one for the XL1. I would prefer to shoot using the xl1 by virtue of its wider selection of lenses and lower noise levels: I was intending to buy a second hand xm1 for standby use and as a player to digitise from ( rather than put additional wear on the more expensive xl1(s) ). Some people have suggested that shooting on a more modern camera ie a vx2000 in fields instead of frames and then performing a deinterlacing process on the files before transferring to film would give better quality as a result of the newer electronics having a sharper overall picture: Having some experience in this matter I disagree and maintain that the frame mode on the canons although not a real progscan mode is a better type of interpolation as its happening on capture rather than after recording. ( higher than video res and prior to compression) So has anyone seen an anamorphic attachment for the xl1 series or will I have to make do with an xm1 ?

Here's Sandra Star, dressed for work. What's her job?
I love porn, and one of the reasons I love porn is that the little head almost always overrides the big head. Things happen in porn that if they happened in real life or even in mainstream movies, you'd say, "There's no way that can happen." But in porn, just when our big head is about to say, "No way," our little head says, "Wait a minute. I can believe that!" So we go along with the fantasy because we want it to be true.
Which brings me to the new Sandra Star photos and video today at SCORELAND. Look at the photo above. Can you guess what Sandra's profession is supposed to be in this scene? No guessing if you already saw the preview or the scene. See if you can figure it out.
Is it believable? Little head says…yes!
By the way, that new show The Deuce on HBO? The one about hookers and pimps and gangsters in New York City in the 1970s? The peep show, adult theater and adult book store scenes are the most-realistic I've ever seen in any non-documentary show or movie. The only thing about the show I don't believe is that there was a pimpless street hooker in NYC back then. There's a scene in which a bunch of guys pay to sit in a room and watch while somebody films a fuck scene. They don't know it, but there's no film in the camera. Anyway, the guys in the audience? I half expected to see me there.

Treatment of drug-related injuries adds at least $3.5 billion annually to the nation's health care bill, not counting indirect costs such as lost income and ancillary health and home care services, wrote members of the IOM Committee on Identifying and Preventing Medication Errors, in a report called Preventing Medication Errors.
According to most studies, at least a quarter of all adverse drug reactions are caused by preventable errors, the authors wrote. "Moreover, many efficacious error-prevention strategies are available, especially for hospital care. In the hospital setting, there is good evidence for the effectiveness of computerized order entry with clinical decision-support systems, for clinical decision-support systems themselves, and for pharmacist participation on hospital rounds."
Other preventive measures such as the use of bar-coding and scanning of drug labels and so-called "smart" IV pumps, which check programmed settings against the hospital's guidelines for the use of specific drugs in specific patients, may also help to reduce dangerous drug errors, but are still being evaluated for efficacy, they noted.
The report recommended specific actions that consumers, clinicians, and health care institutions can take to help reduce drug errors.
"For example, consumers should maintain careful records of their medications, providers should review a patient's list of medications at each encounter and at times of transition between care settings (for example, hospital to outpatient care), and the federal government should seek ways to improve the quality of pharmacy leaflets and medication-related information on the Internet for consumers," the committee members wrote.
Hospitals and medical practices throughout the United States are using a combination of technology, training, and organizational change to achieve the goal of fewer medication errors.
At Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, for example, implementation of a computerized drug-ordering system reduced the likelihood that a child would get the wrong daily chemotherapy dose by 74%, and virtually eliminated the risk of dose calculation errors.
In addition, the use of a web-based infusion calculator reduced the number of orders containing errors by 83%, wrote Christopher U. Lehmann, M.D., of Johns Hopkins, and colleagues, in studies published in May in Archives of Pediatric & Adolescent Medicine and Pediatric Critical Care Medicine.
But as Daniel R. Longo, Sc.D., and colleagues, of the University of Missouri-Columbia reported last December in the Journal of the American Medical Association, while 74% of hospitals surveyed have implemented a written patient safety plan, nearly 9% have no such plan.
Furthermore, while nearly all hospitals have systems in place to reduce medication errors, only 34% of hospitals reported full implementation of computerized physician-order entry systems for medications, Dr. Longo and colleagues said.
The IOM report stressed that patients and providers need to form partnerships in which lines of communication remain open, and that patients must be kept informed when a medical error is made.
Among the specifics steps the report recommends for patients are:
- Keep a list of prescriptions, over-the-counter drugs, vitamins, and supplements they are taking, and bring the list to each health care visit.
- Ask the prescriber to write down or provide published material spelling out the trade and generic names of the drug, its indications, dosage, instructions about how to take it, contraindications, and other pertinent details.
- Ask about the side effects of the drug and what to do if they experience a side effect.
- Verify that the drug name, quantity and dosage furnished by the pharmacy are the same as the prescriber intended.
For providers, including doctors, nurses, and pharmacists, the authors recommended reviewing the patient's medication list both routinely and during care transitions, and discussing with patients different treatment options, the name and purpose of the selected medications, when and how to take them, side effects, interactions (drug-drug, drug-food, and drug-disease), and the patient's or surrogate role in ensuring appropriate medication use.
They also pointed out that the he underlying knowledge base is constantly changing, creating a situation in which it is almost impossible for health care providers to have current knowledge of every medication they prescribe.
The Cochrane Collaboration is one such possible resource. In addition, many software applications are being developed that provide decision support for prescribing clinicians. Applications of this type are typically available via the Internet or on personal digital assistants (PDAs). All prescribers should use point-of-care reference information, the report said.
"Health care providers in all settings should seek to create high-reliability organizations that constantly improve the safety and quality of medication use," they wrote. "To this end, they should implement active internal monitoring programs so that progress toward improved medication safety can be accurately demonstrated."
The committee members also called on the National Library of Medicine to act as a clearinghouse for online health information for consumers, and to work with other groups to evaluate other sources of online health information.
In addition, the report recommended that the National Library of Medicine, FDA, and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services jointly set up multilingual telephone help lines for consumers without Internet access.

Yesterday at church my children were crazy! Darn time change. I blame that only because most of the other children at church were pretty crazy too!
After wrestling #9 for quite a time, I turned around and saw #5 with #7 and #8. I said "What is this?"
#5 responds "Dad told me to bring them to you."
My response "Great, Now we are a traveling three ring circus."
It was ridiculous. I finally surrendered, strapped the three in the truck and drove home for something I had forgotten. That short drive is probably the only thing that got me through the rest of the day.

Wasatch Environmental Update for September 29, 2013
By John Worlock, Member, SOC Board of Directors
"Emery County and Energy"
In spite of our attachment and commitment to the Wasatch Mountains, we have found our attention slipping eastward in the past week. Eastward and southward into Emery County and specifically to the intersection, just west of the town of Green River, of Interstate 70 and US Highway 6. That intersection, with its rail and roadway access, threatens to become the energy hub of southeastern Utah, with the proposed construction of Utah's first ever nuclear power reactor as well as the nation's first new petroleum refinery in nearly four decades.
It's a seemingly dry and unimposing intersection, but attractive, not only for its transportation potential, but also for its proximity to the plentiful water of the Green River, rushing down toward its confluence with the Colorado River near Moab. Did we say plentiful? Yes, for the Green River's plentiful flow is an important contributor to the essential water in the wider Colorado Basin, which is shared by agricultural, commercial and municipal interests in all of that Basin's seven southwestern states.
It's not plentiful enough, apparently, as both of the Colorado Basin's large reservoirs, Lake Powell in Utah and Lake Mead in Nevada, are running half-empty, with no relief in sight.
Last week our attention shifted to the Seventh District Court in Price, where a consortium of environmental groups has challenged the ruling of the State Engineer in approving the use of Green River water for cooling the proposed nuclear reactor. They challenge, as well, the Engineer's opinion that the reactor's proponents have the financial wherewithal to make it work. It has been a lively week in Price, and we have enjoyed the reporting of HEAL Utah's Policy Director, Matt Pacenza. Visit this website to read more about the controversy: H-E-A-L Utah dot org.
A second star in the energy-constellation of that lonesome highway intersection near Green River would be a petroleum refinery, situated to take in the raw product from the Uinta Basin and worse yet from the shale-oil deposits and tar sands nearby in the Book Cliffs. This development is also opposed by a coalition of environmental groups, in this case led by the Grand Canyon Trust. Go to grandcanyontrust dot org to read about their opposition.
Save Our Canyons wishes to send a special thank you to KRCL.org for their generous sponsorship of the Wasatch Environmental Update program and would like to remind our members to please support community radio.

In today's random character cameos, we have three random nobodies in the first panel (the three non-cosplaying ones). Then there're two somebodies (the ones in cosplay with dialogue). They are Roland and Callista from a not too old fantasy epic of mine, Impure. Well, cosplayers dressed like them, anyway. I considered a few other characters from other stories for this bit, but I mostly went with them because of Callista in particular. I don't oft use the skimpy armor look for characters, but I happened to want to try it with her when designing her character a few years back. And when it came time for this con arc, her design felt necessary. Can't have a convention without some young lady in scantily clad cosplay, right?
Anyway, I don't know if lines for big events or high profile celebrities like this are common or rare, but I have heard stories about this kind of thing. Whatever the case may be, Rain wouldn't miss this chance for anything. And if it means not having to listen to Kellen for a few hours, neither would Emily. XD
Rain, all characters and all other aspects of the story are copyright material belonging to me.
Lulu.com is holding a sale from now through February 4th for 30% off all items, up to and of course including Volumes 1 and 2 of Rain. When you're ordering, just be sure to type GOPHIL into the Coupon Code box to apply the deal and get 30% off your purchase.
The general line to meet Billie Piper at Awesomecon 2014 had well over 150 people in it. I was able to get a VIP pass so I only had to wait behind 20 people to see her. VIP passes are a huge timesaver at cons.
Oh, they are very common for big celebrities. I waited in line to see Brent Spiner (who isn't even one of the big celebrities du jour right now) for four and a half hours. It was a small room, granted, but anyone who didn't get there about two hours beforehand didn't get in.
"Neither would Emily". Bwahahaha! Say it ain't so! Emily's definitely the best. Aiken's face in that last panel indicates quite clearly he's more inclined towards being the peacekeeper between Kellen and... all other people? No wonder, given her stubbornness and confrontational nature. He must have had a grand old time at school while they were growing up for sure.
@r4di4r: Keep in mind, Aiken's not exactly that close to Kellen, either. He's definitely on Rain's side, here.
I waited in a long line at Anime Central to get a ticket to the Nobuo Uematsu concert. SO FREAKING WORTH IT! :)
and i love the strip, and really appreciate the work you dp, and your new pic is absolutely hot. i liked the sketch you had up for a month or so as well, you look great.
@taryn: Ooh, I just noticed the new profile pic as well. It's cute, I like the hair.
I know that feeling when you really want to see someone at the con but there is a line like a mile long...they should take shifts waiting! <|:) Also it's good to get a break from the toxic abuse that Kellen is exuding. Also I like your new profile pic! You look adorable <|:)
lol, I know it well. Last time I tried to go to a con the queue to get *into* the venue was literally about half a mile long. Ended up not going in
Oh, crap, I just had a horrible thought, I *really* hope she doesn't turn out to be a transphobe or something after Rain had to wait all this time, on top of how excited she is and how much she's anticipated this
Or, maybe it'll end another way! Maybe she'll be Trans, herself. I've always had this thought when they first mentioned her, for some reason.

"Timing constraint: TS_pl4_snk_top0_pl4_snk_clk0_rdclk180_dcmo = PERIOD
TIMEGRP "pl4_snk_top0_pl4_snk_clk0_rdclk180_dcmo" TS_RDClk_P
/ 1.000000 PHASE + 2.121 nS HIGH 50.000 % ;
163 items analyzed, 18 timing errors detected. (18 setup errors, 0 hold errors)
Minimum period is 4434.064ns.
Slack: -1.551 ns (requirement - (data path - clock skew))
Source: pl4_snk_top0/pl4_snk_io0/StaticAlign_StaticAlign.chan_gen.chan_gen.8.ddr1_gen_ddr1_gen.chan1/ces/Reg3 (FF)
Destination: pl4_snk_top0/pl4_snk_io0/StaticAlign_StaticAlign.chan_gen.chan_gen.8.ddr1_gen_ddr1_gen.chan1/ces/Latch1
Requirement: 0.001 ns
Data Path Delay: 1.552 ns (Levels of Logic = 0)
Clock Skew: 0.000 ns
Source Clock: pl4_snk_top0/RDClk0_GP rising at 0.691 ns
Destination Clock: pl4_snk_top0/RDClk180_GP falling at 0.692 ns"
(Note the above requirement of 0.001 ns.)
This problem was fixed in the 6.1i ISE software release.
This is a known issue associated with how PHASE is calculated in NGDBuild. The tool expects a period that results in a PHASE that is divisible by 2. Otherwise, the above errors occur. (You can view the phase that is generated in the NGDBuild report.)
You can also work around this problem by re-writing the PERIOD constraint in "ps" rather than in "MHz" in the UCF file:
1. Edit the "<component_name>_pl4_wrapper.ucf" file.
2. Replace the constraint:
TIMESPEC "TS_RDClk_P" = PERIOD "RDClk_P" 350 MHz HIGH 50 %;
with the constraint:
TIMESPEC "TS_RDClk_P" = PERIOD "RDClk_P" 2850 ps HIGH 50 %;
3. If the above constraint still reports errors, try other values such as (2849 ps or 2851 ps). The error will not be reported when the calculated PHASE is perfectly divisible by two.
