lookey here! I can blog at work! That is good, because I have an observation I'd like to make...notice I said observation, not complaint. I don't want people think I'm a debbie downer or complaining cathy or any other alliterative name like that.
So...toilet sheet covers/protectors. I get the point, especially in a gross public bathroom like a gas station or a bar. But really, isn't it just more to think about when you're in an office setting or a cleaner public bathroom? I mean, think about it, either hover or don't, but in the end you are still in a public bathroom and, unless you cover yourself in latex, you will be exposed one way or another to germs. The thing I have more of a problem with is people who flush with their feet. I'm sorry if you're one of them, but really, unless there is crap all over the handle, just use your hands and wash them afterwards! You are putting your shoes, which have been who knows where, on a place where many people touch. And then you go out and, even if you wash your hands, you turn on the faucet or dispense the soap or the paper towels or open the door or whatever...you must touch something, right? Unless you're totally on top of things and you case the place out beforehand and know everything is automatic and hatch an evil scheme to get out without touching a thing (and in that case you might need some professional help), you will get a germ or two on you! Oh, and not to mention that eventually you will have to touch something other people have touched. The door out of the office, or the copy machine, or the microwave handle. Oh, better late than never, here's a disclaimer: don't read this if you are prone to germaphobia.
I'm not saying that if you can't avoid germs you might as well take a bath in the toilet...just saying that your efforts are futile. FUTILE!!!!
Oh, and while I'm on the topic, did you ever hear the story of what happened to the Volkernator on her way down to Florida one year? I'll be nice and not post it on here, but lets just say it involves poop...on her hand...that wasn't her own.

This meal is a family favourite in our household. With the subtle combination of clean, fresh Asian flavours, it is a great way to introduce this cuisine to your kids. The addition of water chestnuts adds a crunchy texture to the pork balls. Water chestnuts (which are a great source of vitamin B and riboflavin) are a forgiving vegetable to cook with. Their unique cell structure allows the ingredient to remain crisp, even after being canned or cooked. You can buy these from the Asian supermarket at The Landing in Frankton. This is a versatile dish where you can substitute pork for a variety of other protein, such as salmon, beef, chicken or fresh Asian vegetables. Enjoy!
Pork balls
400g pork mince
1 227g can water chestnuts
2 spring onions, finely sliced
1 good handful coriander, chopped
1 tablespoon soya sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil
Good pinch salt
1 litre good quality chicken stock (use more if you want it more soupy)
1 thumb-sized piece ginger, roughly sliced
A few coriander stalks
Some ends of spring onions
2 cloves of garlic, thinly sliced
1/2 red chilli, thinly sliced
1 spring onion, thinly sliced
4 tablespoons soya sauce
2 tablespoons Chinese red vinegar (can substitute rice wine vinegar)
3 tablespoons peanut oil
1.5 tablespoons sesame oil
1 spring onion, sliced
1 good bunch coriander, chopped
1/2 red chilli, thinly sliced
1 pack of Trident flat rice noodles
1. Bring the chicken stock to the boil along with one piece of sliced ginger, a few spring onion ends and fresh coriander stalks. Simmer for 10 mins while you prep the pork balls.
2. Combine all pork ball ingredients in a bowl and mix thoroughly with your hands. Roll about 1 tablespoonful of mixture into a ball. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with the remaining mixture.
3. Remove extra ingredients in stock with a slotted spoon and discard. Bring broth back to the boil, place pork balls in and poach for about 5 mins.
4. To make the sauce, julienne the ginger (slice into matchstick-sized pieces), add to bowl with the garlic, chilli and spring onions. Mix in soya sauce and vinegar.
5. Heat peanut and sesame oils in small pan. Be careful not to overheat as this will give a bitter taste. Pour into sauce. Add half the coriander from the garnish just before serving so as not to wilt.
6. Cook your rice noodles for 2-3 mins as per packet instructions and blanch broccoli in boiling water for a minute or so.
7. You're now ready to plate up. Place the noodles evenly across five bowls, place broccoli on top, then the pork balls. Pour over the fragrant stock and spoon the sauce over the pork balls. Garnish with more coriander. Serve immediately.

We did it! We're on the final lesson of Reading the Alphabet! If you're new to This Reading Mama or have missed any of the lessons from this free PreK reading curriculum, click here or on the image above. I've been encouraged and blessed by the many emails and FB messages along this fun journey! Thank you for encouraging me to press on.
Purchase the bundle pack, with lots of extra goodies included.
Lesson 31 focuses on learning words in the -UG family with a fun emergent reader! It also features letter and sight word review activities. The zip file {at the end of this post} also has a 5-day lesson outline to guide you through what we did each day.
Here are a few pictures to show you our fun week of the UG family:
Before reading through the new UG emergent reader, we did a few UG family activities, like
UG puzzles
UG Pocket Chart Matching
On the first read through, I left the pocket chart words up as a reference. We looked for the UG words in the text and he circled each one he found. Then, we read the text together. On subsequent days, I turned more of the reading over to him.
We also used our bottle caps to spell AT, OT, IG, ET, and UG words. I spelled them incorrectly at first and he had to fix the mistake and make it right. I don't know why, but he loves this activity!
His favorite activities in these review weeks are always the Roll-A-Rhyme and Roll an UG Word. He tries to see how hard he can throw these cubes. The lovely thing about them is that they are so soft and won't hurt anything {or anybody}.
This week, he created a "rug" by gluing together two pieces of construction paper. He decorated a bug on another piece of paper, cut it out, and then we glued down the words in the right order. This craft serves many literacy purposes and has to if it wants to survive in this house {I really don't like doing crafts}: fine motor, print awareness, review of phonics skills, and review of sight words.
My favorite of the week was finding this after I left him to tend to NSis:
He not only wrote his review words, but wrote many other words he's learned through Reading the Alphabet! If you need a chuckle, you can check out his handiwork on the review words, which I posted on my Facebook wall earlier this week. 🙂

From Revista da Semana, December 1928. Click to enlarge
The Transformation of Rio's Birthplace
The pictures on this page show two panoramic aspects of a part of Rio, taken from the same viewpoint, with a long interval, one in 1922 and another in 1928. Its publication aims to put the City's Birthplace in focus. In the upper picture, one sees Morro do Castelo, already threatened by removal, but still almost intact, covering up Sugarloaf and Gloria, Santa Casa da Misericórdia and the Santa Luzia church. In this picture one of the palaces of the Centenarian Expo is under construction, today the Ministry of Agriculture.
One can also see the old historical mansion of the Old Jail, substituted today by the Assembly House, and the empty spot where the Palace of Justice was built. Of the Morro do Castelo, outlined by a broken white line, what remains is what one sees in the lower picture. And it is within that large area that Mr. Agache wants to do his urbanism projects, presented in Revista da Semana in 1921.
The picture below (bottom half) attests to the large transformation that took place in this area. From the historical hill, there are just two knolls, marked by two arrows. The view covers points that were then invisible, which we've already mentioned. The following places are marked: 1 – Niteroi. 2 – Ferry station. 3 – Ministry of Transport. 4 – The landfill of the Ponto de Calabouço at the cost of the removal of Morro do Castelo. 5 – The Mercado. 6 – The Department of Telegraphs, a historical home of governors and once the Imperial Palace. 7 – Tiradentes Palace (Chamber of Deputies). 8 – Palace of Justice. 9 – Ministry of Agriculture. 10 – Villegaignon Island. 11 – Santa Casa. 12 – São José Church. 13 – The leveled area of Morro do Castelo. 14 – Santa Luzia Church. 15 – Sugarloaf. 16 – YMCA, the first building built in the removal area. 17 – Glória knoll. 18 – The "skyscrapers" of Avenida Rio Branco.

According to information from some media, today on the 20th of February at 15:00 a contest of determining the transporters in Lviv will be held. By taking such actions, the Department of Transport and Communications of Lviv City Council violates the Criminal Code of Ukraine.
With a decision of Frankivsk district court of Lviv from 23.01.2017 in the case №465/245/17, the court canceled the order of Lviv City Council, which approves the members of the competition committee, and also forbade this committee to consider the proposals. http://rozvytok-hromady.com/iurysty-rozvytku-hromady-vyhraly-sud-u-merii
The court handed its decision to Viktor Shchyr, but the head of the Transport Department ignores it. Today the meeting of an illegal commission is planned. Thus, Mr. Viktor violates the Criminal Code of Ukraine para.382. For conducting this activity he may be imprisoned for 3 years.
Let us recall that the competition committee in determining the automobile transporter on a city bus route of common use is approved with violations. The committee members included NGOs who can lobby the interests of the competition participants. In particular, the committee included NGOs that represent the interests of the Transport Service Enterprise-1 and "Mira and K." In addition, by creating the competition committee Viktor Shchyr without permission added a "chronological principle" that the committee included NGOs that were first to submit documents, although the announcement about the selection of NGOs to the committee does not mention such principle, it is only about the fact that they should apply by the 7th of October, 2016.

text: The new tractor should be ready for occupancy tomorrow, woohoo, and I am wondering what the best arrangement is for feed and water. Because we live in Predator City, the chickens will be locked into the "shelter" part of the tractor (basically a 2.5x4' plywood box) from about 7:00 every evening til 8:00 or so the next morning. (Even though I *have* taken everyone's advice and used 1x1" mesh rather than anything larger). So where should their feeder(s) and waterer(s) be? I would rather the chickens spend their time in the outdoor "pen" part of the tractor as much as possible during the day, rather than making an indoor mess, but I don't want them going hungry or thirsty at night. I also don't want to have to move feeders and waterers in and out every day - I'm doing that now, and it's annoying! I am currently thinking of throwing in the towel and having a duplicate set of food and water, in AND out. Although it seems like overkill for just three chickens So IS that the way to go, or what? Thanks, Pat and three fairly spoiled chickens

FOR BILL EVERETT LOVERS ONLY...like you
3 comments:
Wow! this is CRAZY!!ReplyDelete
awesome, didn't know Everett did funny stuff...ReplyDelete
When it came to Atlas' 'MAD'-type comics('Riot', 'Wild', and yes, KW, 'Crazy') Everett always had the best stuff in it(IMO)and his work on any of those comics is right up there on a level comparable the MAD comics. Many people don't know that Everett (along with Atlas buddies Joe Maneely, Russ Heath, Carl Burgos, Sol Brodsky, and of course, John Severin) contributed a lot to a 'new' MAD clone -- CRACKED magazine -- from the first issue on...glad you liked this one, Gents, because when I get my sh*t together, we'll be seeing more of Everett's great humor work in days to come! Please come on back, now, y'hear?ReplyDelete

For some Brexiteers, the biggest news last Friday was not Theresa May's decision to defy the Shapps leadership revolt but the outcome of a meeting of EU ambassadors in Brussels. The hot news was that Germany and France were playing hardball, signalling they will not agree to future EU-UK trade and transition talks unless there's much more clarity from London on our Brexit 'divorce bill'.
The topic will sure to be the main theme today as Theresa May marks the return of the Commons with an oral statement. The overnight pre-brief was that the EU 27 should realise that after her apparent concessions in the Florence speech, "the ball is in their court". But that ball had already been thwocked right back at the PM on Friday, and hopes of getting movement in time for the October EU summit look very slim now.
May's main weapon in the Brexit talks is hard cash, while the EU's is a hard deadline. The DexEu department seem pretty chilled about the prospect that the timetable will now slip to the December summit, though there are hopes that the UK's offer on EU citizens has acted as a catalyst for progress. Officials restart talks in Brussels today but David Davis is not due to do another presser with Michel Barnier until Thursday, (insiders suggest he could shuttle to Belgium earlier if needed). Denmark's finance minister Kristian Jensen says Brexit deals were "not rocket science" and he wants a "speedy" agreement, but smaller countries rarely get their way if the Franco-German view holds.
Barnier is more flexible in private than many think, but the FT reported that one EU ambassador told his colleagues on Friday: "We are not here to save the Tory party." For their part, the Tory Brexiteers are ready to kick off if Berlin and Paris fail to budge. Senior backbencher Bernard Jenkin told Today that "they are just stringing us along", adding that the "transition" should instead be "an interim period". Expect several Eurosceptics to issue similar warnings today during May's marathon Brexit statement (two hours judging by previous Bercow strictures). For them, 'Stoptober' means their party giving up its addiction to the EU for good, even without a deal. Speaking of which, Labour's shadow Brexit minister Dianne Hayter has become the first senior figure in the party to say she expects a 'no deal' outcome.
Thanks to his duties on the frontbench for the Oral Statement, Jeremy Corbyn won't be attending the PLP tonight (John McDonnell will be the guest star instead). The Tory backbench 1922 Committee on Wednesday is more likely to see fireworks as several senior MPs are furious with both Grant Shapps (for his leadership plot) and Boris Johnson (for overshadowing conference).
Bernard Jenkin insisted on Today that his piece in the Guardian - attacking the Treasury for wanting access to the EU single market 'at any price' – was not an attack on the Chancellor himself. Still, amid hints from the PM of a Cabinet reshuffle, many Brexiteers want Philip Hammond fired rather than Johnson. The Sun quotes a close ally of Boris: "In a Cabinet full of such dullards, to send your star striker off the field seems a pretty odd thing to even contemplate." Several Tory MPs tell me they are unhappy not just with Hammond but also with DD and Liam Fox for agreeing the transition demand.
The gossip in Whitehall is that the reshuffle could come after the October 18/19 EU summit. In her Sunday Times interview, May was asked how she'd treat Boris and replied she won't "hide from a challenge". A demotion rather than a sacking is being actively discussed, though the Telegraph reports Boris would walk rather than take such humiliation. May has to prove her authority somehow. One of the many nuggets in Tim Shipman's write-through yesterday was that at least three Cabinet ministers on Thursday night were talking about getting rid of her. And he had this brilliant bit of intel about Boris's hurt pride. Johnson apparently told pals: "I really hate it when people say the Tory party should skip a generation — and go to Amber Rudd." The joke was that Rudd is 54, a year older than Boris. Bojo was out running again this morning (see pic above), providing yet more metaphors for everyone.
Amid all the names swirling around for possible promotion, would Ruth Davidson be the perfect party chairman, as Matt D'Ancona suggests in the Guardian? (You don't need to be an MP, though it would be odd not being in the Cabinet). The Scottish Tory leader left the door a crack open yesterday about her future leadership ambitions, saying she was not looking beyond "2021". The next UK election is in 2022 of course. Those looking at a Davidson leadership think she'd be a contender after Brexit actually happens in 2019, as the party may unite once more. But sceptics think her strong Remainer past means she'd split the Tories even more during a fraught transition period. And after all, she's never held Shadow Cabinet let along Cabinet status, the doubters add.
The very first item on the Commons agenda today is Work and Pensions Questions. And the very first question is from Plaid Cymru's Hywel Williams asking for progress on the roll-out of Universal Credit. There's fresh pressure on David Gauke after John Major yesterday wrote in the Mail on Sunday that UC needed to be reviewed as it was "operationally messy, socially unfair and unforgiving". "It is time for the Conservative Party to show its heart again, which is all too often concealed by its financial prudence."
Gauke told me at our conference fringe that he hoped some of the 12 Tory rebels who had expressed concern would now accept his changes on advance payments. The Telegraph reports the rebellion has doubled, and uneasy Tory MPs meet today, but without an obvious Parliamentary trigger point (all the secondary legislation is long gone) it's unclear what they can do. Work and Pensions Sec Stephen Crabb admitted on Radio 4's Westminster Hour that there were "other operational issues" with UC, "but I don't think John Major is actually right that all of the operational aspect of the policy is flawed".
Another area where Gauke's inner Treasury emerged in our fringe (he was candid enough to say he wanted to be Chancellor) was when I asked if he'd reconsider the four-year benefit freeze imposed by Osborne. If there's 'flexibility' for public sector workers to cope with inflation, why not welfare claimants? Gauke was firm that there were no plans to revisit uprating, but today the Times reports on a Joseph Rowntree Foundation study that an extra 470,000 people will be living in poverty as a result. Higher inflation means the Treasury has saved even more money from the freeze (it's £4.8billion not the £3.9bn Osborne forecast). One to watch.
In case you missed it, watch this Airbus A380 jet land at Dusseldorf airport in high winds.
The Independent Inquiry into Child Sex Abuse today begins its examination into claims of abuse by the late Rochdale MP Cyril Smith. The allegations relate to Cambridge House Boys' Hostel and Knowl View School, where Smith was a governor. The inquiry will hear evidence over three weeks of hearings and examine claims of institutional failings.
I declare an interest here as I'm not only a Rochdalian myself but also helped to uncover the allegations against the former Liberal Democrat MP in 2012. I spoke to former residents of Cambridge House, one of whom told me: "I was scared, Cyril Smith was God in Rochdale".
The late, great investigative journalist Liz Mackean (ex BBC and then Channel 4) then revealed a separate scandal at Knowl View residential school (where Smith also had keys to every room). Since then, Rochdale Council's chief exec has apologised for its failings in both homes, saying the council's response to reports of abuse was "unforgiveable". But a police investigation, published this year, found no evidence of a cover-up or corruption over claims of abuse at Knowl View. Let's see if the new inquiry can find out more.
The party conference season hasn't finished quite, as both the SNP and the Greens continue with their own get-togethers. SNP leader and First Minister Nicola Sturgeon is notably reticent to get into how she'd respond to a declaration of independence by Catalonia.
My colleague and former Holyrood reporter Rachel Wearmouth has done a temperature-take HERE on whether we've hit 'peak SNP' (the indy polls are still roughly 44% Yes 56% No) amid a Tory and Labour resurgence (their leadership election is ongoing). Westminster leader Ian Blackford speaks around 11am the conference.
Meanwhile, the Greens continue their own plucky defiance despite getting royally squeezed in the election. Co-leader Jonathan Bartley will say his party has been the 'most influential' of the 21st century. Caroline Lucas told us this weekend that May will come unstuck over Brexit, but had some surprisingly warm words about Michael Gove putting animal cruelty, ivory trading and air quality back on the agenda. I wonder whether the PM can see radical environmental policy as a necessary condition in winning back the votes of under 30s?

Volcom Stone's WITP European Tour 2013 | SWITZERLAND | 24 August
Same spot, different year! After last year success we went back to the smooth "ice hockey ring skatepark" in Olten. This park is amazing, so much place, so many possibilities and so much fun...if you`re the next time in this region, you should definitely visit this genius playground.
The Saturday morning was a very busy morning at the registration tent...thanks to Miki and Jeff for the organization. We didn`t expected so many skateboarders...overall, around 100 skateboarders signed in and were ready to shred the park.
Due to this the contest started a bit later and everyone got their shred on at 1 pm after the classic BBQ with authentic grilled white swiss sausages.
The heats started wild while the DJ played some rock n`roll.
The contest in 3 words: So much ENERGY, a lot of POP and such a good Level!
You won`t read a "trick list" here because you better check the photos and videos to feel the energy of this event...it was a blast. The judges had a tough job all afternoon long because of the many heats and the level of the young and the old skateboarders was really close together.
So check the video and photos of this great Wild in the Parks 2013 in Switzerland.
It was another great visit and tourstop at the Skatepark Olten and we`re looking forward to come back next year. Big thanks to the crew of the skaterhalle and all the great staff we had on place.
Further thanks to everybody who helped to make this event so epic and of course to Approvedline and Xsories for the great prizes and Red Bull for the beverage support!

Kirk Cousins: 'I Am Looking Forward To Getting Back To Work'
/ Blog Posts Redskins
By: Stephen Czarda- Senior Writer and Content Coordinator
Entering his third season as the Washington Redskins' full-time starting quarterback, Kirk Cousins took an early step ahead last month by organizing a throwing session with some of his teammates.
Quarterback Kirk Cousins wanted to get a jumpstart on building rapport with new receivers and rekindling chemistry with some familiar faces.
So last month, Cousins organized a throwing session with the likes of wide receivers Josh Doctson, Terrelle Pryor Sr. and Jamison Crowder under the direction of former NFL head coach Jon Gruden.

With His British Haircut, Kirk Cousins Tied A World Record In London
/ Blog Posts Redskins
By: Jake Kring-Schreifels: Staff Writer
Saddled with a new, British-influenced haircut and a greater appreciation of the NFL fan base across the pond, Redskins quarterback Kirk Cousins visited London this week to continue his role as an unofficial ambassador for the league by promoting the sport.
He kicked off his visit with a trip to the Aston Martin headquarters – a place that most assuredly does not sell conversion vans – and then headed over to The Mermaid to attempt to break the Guinness World Record for most behind the back catches in one minute with Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jarvis Landry ...

Move tab shortcut (left/right)
Hi. Is it possible to move tab (left/right) using shortcuts? I could not find any. For example, firefox does this with Ctrl+Shift+PgUp and Ctrl+Shift+PgDown. If currently not possible, I highly suggest to implement this.
ViCi last edited by
I'd love to have this option too.
beyond this, even we could have an option that automaticly changes the tab-bar position to left/right when it reaches the specific user defined number of opened tabs.
How can I vote for this feature to be added? It's essential imho. Especially in spite of the browser moving towards keyboard-only browsing. It's very annoying to move tabs using mouse (touch pad in my case).
Mikefield last edited by
Open a bug report on https://vivaldi.com/bugreport/ and request your feature.
Thank you for suggestion. But is it really a right way to make a feature request in bug report service? This isn't a bug.
TbGbe last edited by
Yes, the bug report is used for BOTH bugs and Feature Requests.
Ivan171 last edited by
I'd like to have this option too. I think it is a convenient way to manage the tabs, and i use it a lot on Firefox
pacopata last edited by
I'd like to have this option too, because no one Chrome extension (for example Tab Mover, Keyboard Shortcuts to Reorder Tabs etc doesn't work.
aShai333 last edited by
@Ivan171 Exactly!!!
Sebastian69 last edited by
Two days ago I switched to Vivaldi from Firefox. Keep pressing ctrl+shift+pgdown expecting tabs to get reordered
Besides that, I totally Vivaldi.
I don't see it yet on the Feature Requests thread, so someone should add it.

fridge worthy
devil moon put me in the cleaning of odd places, and rearranging
mood this week, so I don't have a clever blog preloaded and ready
to post. When this particular mood happens to strike, I have to take
full advantage, because I'm pretty laid back, when it comes to
housekeeping. I'm not a slob, but let's just say the manor is not
always sparkling clean. I like to do more interesting things like read,
experiment in the kitchen, write poetry, and of course, blog.
It's about this time of year, before the holiday season hits me like a
Mack truck, I start thinking about things, like the top of the manor
refrigerator. The fridge and I are exactly the same height, so I don't
ever see the top, or even think about it, for that matter, until
November rolls around.
Every year I mentally analyze the holiday guest list to check for tall
people. You know, tall enough to see the top of the fridge in their
stocking feet. My daughter went through a phase, in her college
years, of dating only giants over 6' 5". These big guys, because of
their height, qualified as "fridge worthy", and the top stayed
amazingly clean.
Well, I can't think of any super tall holiday guests this year, (except
my youngest son, and he doesn't count) but I climbed up on a chair,
anyway, and gave the top of the fridge a good going over with me
mops and me brushes, just because. You know what I'm talking
about; that icky combination of cooking grease and dust, that turns
into tiny wet mice, when you go over it with a damp cloth. Well,
the mice are disposed of, even if no one is "fridge worthy" this year.

Now, cleaning the top of the fridge is no reason to not do poetry! LOL!!!ReplyDelete
Hey, I thought it was a pretty decent excuse. I'm a multitasker, but I'm not that good!ReplyDelete
I am incredibly impressed. And shamed into action. With a dinner party on tap for tomorrow... I am adding this to my list!!ReplyDelete
My mother always kept the top of the fridge occupied with various bric-a-brac...because of a pumpkin pie that went awol on her very first Thanksgiving as a newlywed. She put the pie on top of the fridge for storage and when it was time for dessert it could not be found! The following April while cleaning for her first Easter dinner..it was located...it had fallen behind the fridge. So now nothing gets stored up there :)ReplyDelete
Peace ~ Rene
That's a cute story, Rene. I've heard of dryers eating socks, but never fridges eating pumpkin pies!ReplyDelete
Lol. I never really thought about that much before! All my male cousins are "fridge worthy", but I don't think I know anyone in Edmonton who is! I guess I can leave the top of my fridge messy for a while ;)ReplyDelete
I'd love to follow your good example but getting up on chairs and/or scrubbing is not recommended for my health.ReplyDelete
Loved your castle post, it is always nice to have a castle in one's background somewhere. The landscape shot looks as though it could easily be in Australia.
Looks nice and shinin' from this New England vantage point ...ReplyDelete
Oh dear, Willow, if Maureen and I came to visit you, you would have to clean the tops of the doors, tops of lamp-shades and everything!ReplyDelete
Raph, you and your family would most definitely be considered "fridge worthy"!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousThu Nov 05, 07:36:00 PM
Well I am a shorty so I won't see anything. I wouldn't look anyway. I am not concerned about anyone's housekeeping, that's for sure.ReplyDelete
it's nice to see that you are like the rest of us mere mortals--sometimes :-)ReplyDelete
Lovely! Taylor always let me know when our's is dusty! :)ReplyDelete
Yep - Spring time is time to go out the door. Fall is for cleaning because we are going to be indoors. The first thing I did however, was put up little white lights across the bookcases. I don't like the darkness in the evenings...ReplyDelete
Ha! I do the same with dusting the stairs and bookshelves -- depending on time available and heights of gusts expected.ReplyDelete
Does that make me a bad person?
Vicki, I hope not! But if it does, you're in good company!ReplyDelete
T was in that kinda mood today. as i was leaving for work most of the contents of several closets were in the middle of the floor...i just get out of the way.ReplyDelete
dust and grease
they turn to mice
but i wiped em up
really nice.
theres you a poem willow. smiles.
Brian, you are too cute. I LOVE that. You knew I would!ReplyDelete
I don't do a good job of cleaning, but I've learned that people THINK your house is sparkling if it's straightened. So before the guests come I put all the clutter in a laundry basket and hide it in my closet!ReplyDelete
Oh the dread of Domestic Engineering! Good job on that fridge, Willow! Love the litmus test of fridge worthiness you wrote about.ReplyDelete
Reading your first few sentences I thought, ah, she's describing me. You are so prolific, I don't know how you do it and the rest of your life too. Maybe if I didn't try to keep four blogs going (not to mention that I've begun writing for the Houston Zoo's website...). Applause for the fridge top! I know the "mice" you speak of!ReplyDelete
I've always been aware of it, ever since a tall, young fella put his hand up to lean, one leg over the other, took it off rather quickly and dusted his hands together. Ooh, cringe. The top of the fridge might get done twice a year since.ReplyDelete
When it comes right down to it...I think your guests will remember your wonderful cooking talents (i.e. your delicious recipes), your talents for entertaining with flare (i.e. your virtual gala), and the amazing stories of the manor (i.e. Life @Willow Manor), than they will notice the top of your fridge!((giggles)) But if you must...the top looks great from the photo as far as I can see! Cleaning is a great way to start out the Samhain. Enjoy your blog. Thank you for keeping it real.ReplyDelete
Is that Papa Haydn on your fridge door?ReplyDelete
Dear Willow, You would feel the best housekeeper on earth if you saw the top of my fridge at the moment. The renovations have left a massive amount of filth up there. I am in despair cleaning here! I have not been able to write for several weeks packing and cleaning and moving and I am tearing my hair out! I am one bald Tale Peddler. Sigh. I am sure I could lick the top of your fridge in comparison to mine. I don't mean to sound competitive but my place is dirtier by far! xxReplyDelete
God, I so hear you on this one--I never remember the places I can't see for cleaning. Reminds me of the blades on the ceiling fans: I love them in all these rooms, but I don't love cleaning them. When I finally remember to do them, about every six months or so, the dust comes down in a cloud.ReplyDelete
Willow, now you'll have to add Domestic Goddess to your banner! I try with these things, but I sorta fail. MOTH always compares me to the first Mrs. MOTH who was apparently very adept with a broom, mop, bucket & duster. Well good for her I say!!!ReplyDelete
Millie ^_^
Since I'm short I have to remind myself to clean the tops of things...maybe tomorrow:)ReplyDelete
I'm waiting for the cleaning mood to strike here!!! One could only hope for a fridge that is the color of dust...ReplyDelete
The top of my fridge and the top of my mantle are both dust catchers that I can't see and therefore ignore.ReplyDelete
Looks pretty shiny. Good for a while.ReplyDelete
well done!ReplyDelete
Waxing poetically about cleaning the top of the refrigerator, now that is Domestic Art (beats reading Martha Stewart Living)! ;-)ReplyDelete
What I love best about my kitchen here in V. is that the fridge is built in. So smart.

Yes, I know those mice...and how I'll be spending tomorrow. Bother. Will have to remember the "guest height" rule!ReplyDelete
I've been doing the oven this week and the fridge is next! Little mice, here I come...ReplyDelete
Blessings, Star
You must have a lot to do then!ReplyDelete
Moon fellow
Wore a frown last night,
All wrapped up in his shawl of clouds.
Oblivious of his discontent, I skipped back home fast.
Spaced, the moon was just gorgeous on the horizen last night...huge and golden.ReplyDelete
Steph, he looks a bit like Papa Haydn, but it's George Washington. They're all magnets of portraits from the Metropolitan Museum of Art. When the kids were young, the fridge was covered in artwork and school schedules. Now it looks sleek and clean, but a bit lonely!ReplyDelete

My wife is shrinking. She started out with me being 5'2" and is now down to something like 4'8" which means she can't see much of anything higher than the countertop. Her grandkids are now telling her about the baldspot on the back of her head and that disturbs her sometimes. She says she is shrinking. She can't reach the tops of anything so somebody has to do it for her. The top of the refrigerator is flat so it has become a storage area. A bamboo back scratcher is there. If your back has an itch you can't reach then you head to the refrigerator and on top pick up the back scratcher. It has the cat's "treats" and it has two fly swatters from the summer -- no telling how many fly intestines are still on the screen wire. There is a mouse or two -- the kind the cat jumps at to play. All in all the top is pretty clean but not so the end table filled with books. If you pick up a book there are dust buddies under it. Patty can bend over and reach down there without any problem and she can see down but the mystery of how they get there remains.ReplyDelete
I just keep a towel on top of my fridge and then when I need to clean the top, which is about once a year, I just take that towel off and put on a new one. No scrubbing needed except on the top of the doors. And since I am not able to do much cleaning right now, then I guess hubby would have to do it. But all the parties this holiday season will be at someone elses house, so there is not much to worry about. I better just keep recovering. At least typing is getting less painful.ReplyDelete
God bless.
I've just been (reluctantly) cleaning all those kind of odd places this morning because the cottage needed it and the gdds are coming to stay at the weekend. I am not in the mood and would rather be doing what you like doing - reading, writing poetry or blogging.ReplyDelete
Sorry I have not visited for ages, I haven't had time for reading blogs lately but hopefully things have calmed down a bit now.
You have a black fridge? Thats so cool!Our whole fridge fits in an alcove in the kitchen, and I couldn't see the top even if I stood on a chair, 'cos it's one of those tall commercial fridges.ReplyDelete
I love how you wrote "..me mops and me brushes.." It's language I'm familiar with.
I have an easy rule to obey about cleaning, I ask myself, "is this a health hazard?" If the answer is yes then I clean it !ReplyDelete
I love the idea of having fridge worthy house guests! Well done, good for you.ReplyDelete
Enjoyed the post about your ancestral castle too!
Wait til I tell Vlad he's "fridge worthy". He'll be so excited... or more likely he'll think I'm being weird again.ReplyDelete
I'm envious that you have a fridge top. Ours is under the cupboards and I miss it. I also miss the fact that all but a a few inches of the sides are available for magnets etc... I have one of those magnet poetry sets but not enought space to use it.ReplyDelete
Hilary, I have one of those magnetic poetry sets. I should dig it back and and use it again. Sounds like fun.ReplyDelete
CatLady, Vlad is tall? Hmm, I always pictured him kinda on the shorter side, like Gary OldmanReplyDelete
Willow, you are my kind of girl! I completely agree that there are so many more interesting things to do than keep a perfect house. And luckily, my fridge has a cabinet that completely covers it. It's darn difficult to clean. So I don't, very often. That's my excuse and I'm sticking o it.ReplyDelete
When we bought the country place I determined to be a better housekeeper. Which reminds me, maybe it's time to check the top of my refrigerator.ReplyDelete
The top of our fridge is hidden within a built-in unit. The top of the unit is so high that if anyone could see the top of it they would be seriously lanky. And who cares what seriously lanky people think.ReplyDelete
Dr. M is in charge of the top of our fridge - since he's the one who can see it LOL. I'm a shrimp, so I don't really care. We do keep onions & garlic in a bowl up there & I worry about them since I can't see them - are they sprouting? But I've given Dr. M the responsibility so I leave their care to him!ReplyDelete
Oh dear. My nephews are both 6'4". I better get to it!ReplyDelete
I salute you! I'm with you 100% on balancing cleaning with more interesting pursuits - cooking, reading, writing - oh yeah!ReplyDelete
And I know that for me, cleaning my environment also cleans my mind. Bravo!
Ah .. I am slightly taller and can see the top of our fridge. I try not to look ... now of course your post is making me think I need to clean it .. sigh ...ReplyDelete
Hello Willow,ReplyDelete
If you hadn't mentioned it, I'm sure no-one would have noticed! I was cheered to learn you hadn't got a post pre-loaded, then dashed that you could pull off such an entertaining piece about - Cleaning?!
There must be a poem in there somewhere.
You've just reminded me of something I have to do...............ReplyDelete
I'm with you, the fridge is one of those things whose top gets cleaned once in a while. I had meant to garden today but got sucked into a French film.ReplyDelete
Good for you! Because of my fibromyalgia and its severe limiting of my energy, I had to make 'daily cleaning to-do lists'. I do one small thing each day - bathrooms on one day each week, dusting twice a week, etc., otherwise nothing gets done, lol.ReplyDelete
I hate those fridge mice!
Have a great (clean topped fridge) weekend :)
Tiny wet mice--ooh, don't think I've ever thought of it that way before and am not sure I will choose to later as I can only imagine how nasty they'd be up on my fridge. :)ReplyDelete
Now, I'll tell you what is also fridge worthy (darling expression, btw) --your fridge it self. It's so clean on the front in terms of decor. Those magnets are arranged like a work of Mondrian or something. I love it. not too fussy. Reminds me of my fridge panel--uncluttered.
BTw, for some reason, i jsut knew you'd have a black fridge as well. Perfect--sort of fits in with the shimmering light outside like on that skylight and those views of all the trees. Very inviting indeed.
And finally, you see, you can tell you're a writer because you can take the most mundane and make it quite delicious in its ruminating.
Here's to a lovely weekend, Willow.
I got lucky with this house...fridge fits just under cabinets! I have the stove fan to contend with...more of a weekly cleaning! My closets are screaming a seasonal makeover. I like your black fridge...how is it for fingerprints?ReplyDelete
I am NEVER in a cleaning mood. Now that we're moving, I'm going to have to jettison alot of stuff. That's usually a good thing.ReplyDelete
Cleaning something that nobody can see, willow, makes one feel so virtuous doesn't it. I cleaned the mantelshelf over the Aga today for the same reason. Now I keep looking at it and gloating!ReplyDelete
that reminds me, I need to dust the top of my fridge...but I'd rather blog. LOL!ReplyDelete
much love
The late great Quentin Crisp, the stately homo of England, gave an interview in his cramped and exceedingly uncared for flat in London about 20 years or more back.ReplyDelete
When asked about the dust, and other less than clean areas of the room, he merely replied that 'after a couple of years you don't really notice the dust.'
He came to live in New York in his last decade or so and was extremely happy there. Still lived in a dodgy area but got on well with all his 'odd' neighbours. John Hurt, one of my favourite actors, took the lead in "The Naked Civil Servant" - Quentin Crisp's autobiography and it was a great hit in the UK. John Hurt has now finished another film about Q.Crisp, covering his final years in America. I will HAVE to buy the video!
"...after a couple of years you don't really notice the dust."ReplyDelete
Philip, I love that. I think it's going to be my new mantra.
LOL!! I got such a good laugh over your comment about laid back cleaning. I hear you, sister! Me, too and especially lately.ReplyDelete
This made me laugh, Willow. There are all sorts of top-of-fridge jobs that need to be done at my house, too.ReplyDelete
If only I lived with a family of small people...unfortunately, they are all so tall. Thus my spotless clean refrigerator top. Want to trade houses?ReplyDelete

On Christmas Day when talking with Grampa and Granny she did take her first step though, which was REALLY exciting. Since then she has taken 2 steps and 4 steps and even 9 steps, but I would not say that she is walking yet. She's just too much of a chicken and honestly I'm okay with that. So, what she will do is stand up, work up her courage, maybe take one or two steps and then sit down and crawl the rest of the way. Our flat is not baby-proofed, at all, and if she was walking and God forbid running all over this flat I would be in really big trouble. But I'm hoping we'll have a resolution to that little problem in the not so distant future.
As far as her talking goes. Alessandra knows a ton of words but she tends to get attached to certain words and forgets to use all the others she knows. Right now her favorites are "Up", "Dot", and "Eat". Now, when I say she's saying "Dot" that doesn't mean that Joe from the corner store could walk up to Alessandra and understand a single thing that she says. What it sounds like to everyone else is "DAH DAH" as opposed to when she says "Dad" which comes out like "DA DA". In fact the only thing she does say pretty darn clearly is "Up", and it's so stinkin' cute when she says it too.
Anyway - that's that! I just wanted to clarify so all of you who are oceans away don't think I'm raising a savant or anything. I mean - she is as smart as a whip and I know Mr Enfume and Uncle Joel won't ever let me live that last line down, but it's the truth and that has to count for something - right?!?
So, what marvelous things are your kids doing these days (furry four legged ones count too)?

The Masakari track on offer here is a bit different from their previous outings. It starts off in their normal fashion, but the band slows things down for the remainder of the track. All in all, a good change of pace for the band.
While the Masakari side is good (as expected), Grin and Bear It's side is the better of the two. Three tracks of pure fastcore, complete with samples. The first track even has a little grind segment. Awesome.
Pre orders got a screen printed cover, limited to the exact number of pre orders received.
It's a little peculiar that the screen printed cover is the same exact art as the standard cover too. No hand numbering or anything on the screen printed cover. Weird, but still cool.
Black vinyl, limited to 500 copies.

Estadísticas de Olas para Tanjung A'an, Todo el Año: Todo Oleaje – Todo Viento
The graph shows the range of swells directed at Tanjung A'an over a normal year and is based upon 34628 NWW3 model predictions since 2006 (values every 3 hours). The wave model does not forecast wind and surf right at the coastline so we have chosen the most applicable grid node based on what we know about Tanjung A'an. In the case of Tanjung A'an, the best grid node is 21 km away (13 miles).
The rose diagram describes the distribution of swell directions and swell sizes, while the graph at the bottom shows the same thing but without direction information. Five colours show increasing wave sizes. The smallest swells, less than 0.5m (1.5 feet), high are coloured blue. These were forecast only 0.4% of the time. Green and yellow represent increasing swell sizes and red shows the biggest swells, greater than >3m (>10ft). In each graph, the area of any colour is proportional to how frequently that size swell was forecast.
The diagram suggests that the prevailing swell direction, shown by the largest spokes, was SW, whereas the the prevailing wind blows from the SSE. Because the wave model grid is away from the coast, sometimes a strong offshore wind blows largest waves away from Tanjung A'an and out to sea. We combine these with the no surf category of the bar chart. To simplify things we don't show these in the rose diagram. Because wind determines whether or not waves are good for surfing at Tanjung A'an, you can view an alternative image that shows only the swells that were forecast to coincide with glassy or offshore wind conditions. During a typical year, swells large enough to cause clean enough to surf waves at Tanjung A'an run for about 84% of the time.
IMPORTANT: Beta version feature! Swell heights are open water values from NWW3. There is no attempt to model near-shore effects. Coastal wave heights will generally be less, especially if the break does not have unobstructed exposure to the open ocean.

Just before baby came, Lance and I decided to make a new headboard for our recent switch from a Queen bed to a King size bed.
Our good friends Jake and Melissa Garrett joined in on the fun as well! I dont have any pictures of the four of us working on our headboards together but we sure did have fun :)
I LOVE how it turned out! I have seen headboards just like this in Anthropologie magazines and have just drooled over them. Anthropologie is my favorite :)
It's not just pretty... we ordered a feather pillow topper off of overstock.com and our new bed is SO stinking comfortable. I just want to sleep all the time! Which has proven to be a little more difficult than I thought with our new little one here. But he's so worth it!

Snowcats running around and then a giant ball of light appears and swallows the entire building.
Is there an explanation for this strange phenomenon?
Link: Webcams at Neumayer Station
I had seen this happening before and in this particular footage we see the strangeness but not the ufos activity that goes on over there at German Neumayer station, usually all sorts of things happens and for this reason I check it out everyday in the morning as its more entertaining to see the whole day movie from the webcam than reading the news.
Ufos, bright lights, unknown planets, double suns, strange tower being moved, men with X-ray eyes sunglasses can be seen regularly at this specific spot yet noone talks or explains what is actually happens at is what is supposed to be a whether station in Antartica.
Being too surprised by it I 've made a couple of short videos about this strangeness and posted them on youtube but its only the peak of the iceberg as all you can find are usually long boring videos on youtube about it and that's all.
While is pretty clear that what goes on at Neumayer station goes beyond reason almost everyday,
so why nobody tell us the truth ?
Beepee oil disaster made an attempt but was left speechless too.
So why not having a section of the website dedicated to it ?
I wonder about it as very rarely you mention this ufo hotspot in Antartica.
At about 1:35 in the video there is some kind of beam briefly shooting into the sky on the upper left.. who knows. Interesting video though. It does seem like a lot of strange Shit is going on there.ReplyDelete

The presses are rolling and we should hopefully have books maybe today? Just in time to pack the trailer for Houston…we all have been busy making new swatch charts for our wools, cutting little 5″ Charms of our wool textures, assembling #24 Chenille needles (from Bohin) into our own needle packs to sell. I can't stand not having needles to sell to our wool customers, so we are packing our own and not relying on the distributors to have enough on hand for us. We also have been making 3 1/2″ & 5″ 100 print light/dark charm packs to go with our cool book…It is 24 pages of all color! 14 samples of little quilts ranging from 9″x12″ to 30″x 40″ ish for the biggest ones. Our book is a workbook for turning 2 squares into 2 nine patches, not using the strip method, and not cutting 9 squares either. Start with this…and you would end with this….Then you can sit down with a pack of light and dark charms and make tons of nine patches one day…the next you decide what you are going to make with them all! The quilts in the book are cute as all heck done little, but who's to say you can't do them bed size or lap size? The possibilities are endless. I will have the books, charms and bundles and kits available Monday on the site, hopefully. Just a little preview here…and look for more new stuff too!

nine patches are my favorite blocks! OH can't wait to see all the quilts in this book and what you have done with nine patches!!!!
can't wait to get this book!
Your book looks awesome. Good luck at market and take lots of pictures to share with those of us that can't make it.
I cannot wait. How exciting and right before the holidays. I think it could be a case of buying my own gift and wrapping it up and putting it under the tree:)

Two boys, aged 14 and 15, have created chaos after trying outrun Queensland police - and even the police helicopter - in car chases that ended almost 200 kilometres apart.
The drama began on Thursday afternoon when police were told a group of teens had stolen two cars and a quad bike from a rural property at Kandanga, southwest of Gympie.
The quad bike was soon dumped. But the boys took off in the two stolen cars.
One went north, to Gympie, where he sideswiped a car and forced other motorists to swerve after driving onto the wrong side of a major road.
The other fled 170km south, to Brisbane, where he crashed into a drain after police used spikes to burst his tyres.
The police chopper was used to track the car that fled south, and helped police on the ground work out where to lay the spikes.
The 14-year-old driver suffered minor injuries when the vehicle came to an abrupt halt. His three passengers, aged 14, 16, and 18, were not hurt.
He's been charged with failing to stop, while his three passengers have been charged with burglary.
The other driver, aged 15, has been charged with 22 offences relating to burglary and unlawful use of a motor vehicle after his arrest south of Gympie.

Who thought pupil free days were a good idea? Honestly. All my (older) two have done today is fight. "Over what?" you ask. Nothing. Absolutely flipping nothing. It is so much fun. Welcome to parenthood new mamas and papas – you're going to love it.
Hat's off to teachers though, seriously. I am so thankful for their wisdom and patience and willingness to deal with
brats darling angels all day long. I could not home school my kids. I actually love the idea, but the reality is perfectly horrifying. I spent one whole day alone with the three kids and I'm ready to hide in bed with a bottle of rum.
And who can afford to do that every day?
Here's my list of my top ten phrases of the day. It's no match for my list of Things I Never Thought I'd Have to Say – but it gives you a little insight to the bane of my existence: the monotonous day to day reality of raising little people. Here we go.
Ten Things I Have Said Way Too Many Times Today:
- Hand's to yourself.
- Don't growl at each other.
- Go to your room.
- No more t.v.
- That's not a breakfast food.
- Do you need to wee?
- No / don't do that / leave that alone.
- Do I need to build a fence for you guys?
- This is your final warning!
exclamation mark x 10,000
I'm sure one day when I'm crazy old I'll look back on the "good old days" of child wrangling with fondness. Oh look at those cuties. What happened, where did my babies go?
But not today, friends! Not today. This is my battleground. And my word, is it tedious.
Now I'm waiting for all the comments of "but it's worth it in the end!".
Yes, yes it will be. Because I will be asleep.
Cheerio xo

Jewish date: 2 Shevaṭ 5770 (Parashath Bo').
Today's holidays: Second Sunday of Ordinary Time (Roman Catholicism), Feast of St. Anthony the Great (Greek Orthodox Christianity), Joshmas (Discordianism).
Topic 1: More religious oppression: "Two Christians Critically Wounded at Wedding in Pakistan", "UZBEKISTAN: Illegal Christmas as unregistered religious activity punished", "Dutch lawmaker fails to avoid hate speech charges" (freedom of speech includes being able to say things others find offensive), and "Copts protest Christmas killings at Cairo cathedral" (they are sick of being treated as second-class citizens). Meanwhile, Vietnamese Catholics have taken to protesting in a novel way: "Dong Chiem is becoming a "Mount of Crosses""
Topic 2: The more you read something carefully, the more the details stand out. One of the most controversial questions in the Gospels is who is responsible for the death of Jesus. The Gospels agree that the Romans did the actual killing, but they shy away from blaming them for it. If you look in chapters 26-27 of Matthew and chapters 14-15 of Mark, it is the "chief priests" (Sadducees) and "Elders" (= the Sanhedhrin, consisting of Pharisees) who push Pilate to execute Jesus and convince a (presumably Jewish) crowd to cry for the release of the murderous rebel Barabbas and the crucifixion of Jesus. This is an unnatural conspiracy. Under the Roman occupation, the High Priest was a priest (kohen) who got the position by bribing the Romans. The "chief priests" therefore had every reason to not act against the Romans by pushing for the release of the last person the Romans would have wanted free, Barabbas; if they were ever found out, they would be replaced—if they were very, very lucky. Furthermore, because the High Priest was corrupt at the time, he and the Sanhedhrin were not on good terms. They had no reason to cooperate. Also unnatural is the crowd being so quickly convinced to call for the release of Barabbas and the crucifixion of Jesus. Jesus previously is reported as being fawned over by crowds, yet in Matthew 27:25 they take responsibility for the death of Jesus not only on themselves, but for their children as well! Does any of this seem psychologically credible? Does any of this not smack of anti-Semitic historical revisionism?
Topic 3: For today's religious humor: "Apparently, Basement cat felt that 4":

This year, all the concessionaires truly put their best food forward and our appetites were fully satisfied! I had a lot of delicious treats during the event but if I were to choose my top 5 favorite munchies during the event, it would be the following:
1. The Angus Beef Brisket Ciabatta Sandwich by Claudia's Kitchen:
Sandwiched between two fresh, crusty Ciabatta bread slices, you get a generous amount of Angus beef brisket slices. They're sliced pretty thick that your initial fear is that they'll end up tough and hard to chew, but one bite of this sandwich, and you're proven wrong. The beef is tender and tasty, adorned with a bed of fresh crunchy greens and an equally delicious sauce – a sweet barbecue sauce with a hint of some Indian spice that adds another layer of flavor to the sandwich. Suffice to say, I could have eaten several sandwiches.
Claudia's Kitchen – Facebook Page
2. Leche Flan in a Bottle by Sugar Cakes (by Ana's Kitchen)
The first thing you're drawn to is the quirky idea of eating leche flan in a bottle. When you open the bottle, the flan looks unassuming, not particularly special, but one spoonful of the stuff and you're sure to get hooked! The flan does not have the cloying, artificial taste that many store bought leche flans have, and I think it is partly because of the use of coconut sugar. The consistency is also very different, much softer, doesn't really have much of a form (which is probably why they used a bottle), almost like a Panacotta, but even softer.
Speaking of Panacotta…
3. Kenacotta
Named after the owner, Ken, the Panacotta is just the right amount of sweetness. Texture is perfect and the fruit toppings are fresh.
4. Fish Eggs Spread by Choco ATBP
After trying a sample of this, I instantly wanted to buy a bottle of the stuff. It tastes like anchovy with a hint of garlic and tastes great on bread or with pasta. The owner also suggested placing it on rice with a sprinkling of kalamansi. A great pick me up for the morning!
5. Mochi Ice Cream by Mochiko
This great round delicacy starts off being too frozen to eat but once you start biting into it, then savoring the filling inside, you are instantly transported to dessert heaven!
There were a lot of other great finds in the fair, like the butter beer, Simply Pie's gourmet quiches, and a stall that offered prime duck liver pate and a jackfruit seed dip which I failed to get the name of!
(Help me out and comment below if you know what booth I'm referring to!) Thank you to Kenacotta for informing me of the booth's name – It's Jaq's Kitchen!
The verdict? I can't wait till Best Food Forward 2013!
How did you guys find the event? Comment below!

Prepaid Cards Can Prevent Holiday Over-Indulgence
December 04, 2017
The holidays make it difficult to stick to a budget, but prepaid cards can help prevent overspending.
Gift giving, holiday parties, and travel can all overwhelm a budget quickly, but prepaid cards can help avoid post-holiday bill blues. Savvy holiday shoppers from different backgrounds are recognizing the benefits of prepaid cards and choosing them as an alternative or even a supplement to other banking products.
Prepaid cards are similar to debit cards, but funds are preloaded into the specific card account instead of being drawn from a shopper's primary checking account. That means shoppers can set a budget for the season and actually stick to it by preloading a card that makes a budgeted holiday spending amount a hard limit. No overdrafts or credit lines will tempt you to go beyond your means.
According to polling from the Pew Charitable Trusts, more than half of all prepaid cardholders cite the ability to budget as one of their primary reasons they use the product.
With prepaid cards, holiday revelers can avoid overspending and easily track all of their purchases. Since they cannot spend more than what's loaded onto the card, gone are the stressful end-of-the-month balance checks. According to the same Pew poll, two-thirds of cardholders cited this as a major reason they choose prepaid.
And if shoppers stay under-budget, they can save those funds for the future. Funds loaded onto prepaid cards won't expire for at least five years, meaning they can start planning for those larger gift purchases next year.
Of course, if a shopper does happen to see that perfect gift that's slightly over budget, prepaid cards are easily reloadable and funds are immediately available. This way shoppers can stretch their budget without opening the flood gates.
With the holiday season upon us once again, the best gift shoppers can give themselves is the peace of mind knowing they are on steady financial ground. Prepaid cards are a tool they can use to ensure a happy holiday season.
Check out our infographic on the benefits of prepaid for holiday shopping.

I created this game to be the cupcake version of the classic arcade game Space Invaders, in which the player controls a laser cannon to shoot alien spaceships. In my version, the player controls a pastry bag character with left and right arrows (on the stage or the keyboard) and clicks the mouse to shoot frosting.
With the use of some physics, I was able to get the frosting to follow a trajectory based on the angle of the mouse click in relation to the position of the pastry bag. The player gains points by frosting the cupcake on the correct side (top).
Read about how I converted the game to an Android app or download the app file itself.

Hi all!
October's theme is Pink Autumn which is a combination of pink ribbon and autumn. We're free to create autumnal mani's or pink ribbon themed ones. I was perusing my vault for something that could fit either theme and found these. Plaids scream autumn to me and it does have some pink as well...
- Mollon Pro - 25 Powder Pink
- Mollon Pro - 26 Bright Pink
- Mollon Pro - 28 So In Lilac
- Mollon Pro - 30 Aubergine
- Lucky 13 Lacquer - Elemental Ward
Base: 2 coats of Powder Pink. With a striping brush I added swipes of the other colours to create a messy plaid design. Sealed it all in with Elemental Ward.
That Powder Pink is such a nice nude colour on me.
I need to wear purple soon....
Love, Brethil
More autumn pink inspired nails down here!

Sahira Wahid
The price of each item is increasing at an alarming rate with the advent of the month of Ramadan. Owing to inflation in the country, the citizens confront multidimensional difficulties in the holy month. However, majority of poor people don't afford to buy fruits, vegetables and anything else for eating in Iftar and Sehar. In spite of reliance of Muslims on Ramadan, more problems are being added into their lives. So, the government must stop the rot against inflation in Ramadan in order to provide relief to citizens.

Students can use library computers with the assurance that their session will be free from malicious software and reduction system. IT personnel can rest easy with the knowledge that Deep Freeze makes media computers in the declining immune system and software corruption caused by students accessing online media resources during their research.

Humble Servant
Contributed by Stephen Fournier on Oct 30, 2000 (message contributor)
Summary: Sermon Outline on being a Humble Servant
I. Intro. There was once a lion who was very proud of his mastery over the rest of the animal kingdom. One day he decided to make sure that the other animals knew that he was king of the jungle. He was so sure of himself that he by passed the smaller animals and went right to the bear. "Who is king of the jungle?" the lion asked. "Why of course you are." replied the bear.
The lion then found the tiger and asked him, "Who is king of jungle?" The tiger quickly responded, "Why everyone knows that you are."
Next on the lion's list was the elephant. "Who is king of the jungle?" the lion demanded. The elephant immediately grabbed the lion with his trunk spun him a round a few times. Threw him to the grown stepped on him a few times, picked him up again dunked him in the water, and then threw him up against a tree. The lion, who was beaten bruised and battered struggled to his feet. and replied, "Look just because you don't know the answer is no reason to get upset." What was the lion problem? He was blinded by pride. Blinded by thoughts of himself.
II. Pride will destroy us!
A. There is no greater sin. Satan's fall; pride. Adam and Eve pride. Every sin after, pride. We do not often think of ourselves as being prideful. We equate it with braggarts, conceited. But anytime we put ourselves ahead of God or ahead of others. That is pride. It is a sin that every person in this room is guilty of.
B. At school the theme this year is "pride".
1. Do we really believer that children need more pride?
2. Do we really believe that they need to think more of themselves.
3. That they need to think more highly of themselves.
4. Let us wake up! Children do not need more pride, they need more humility. They need to think more about others then they do themselves.
C. If you look at the problems people have, most come from pride.
1. $$ problems, can't say no to self, need to buy stuff.
2. Emotional problems, think to much on self. Self pity. Focus on self.
3. Children problems. Taught them to think about self. That they are the most important person in the world, rather then thinking about others. Self.
4. Marriage problems. Think about self rather then spouse.
D. I have been battling depression, anger, lack of faith, etc.
1. Praying for God to reveal to Me something, I wasn't sure what.
2. We want the "secret to a full spiritual life".
3. God seeks to reveal these things but many times, we do not want to discover them.
We want the easy way, "Poof" it is done. I was asking God for a sign, a vision. Then I read Matthew 16:4; "A wicked and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and no sign shall be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah." And He left them and departed."
4. But then God did reveal to me a "secret" to a fuller spiritual life. Actually it was no secret is was right there the whole time. It's called humility. It's called being a servant, it is called putting others, (everybody) first.
E. There are two enemies to humility. Mentioned in Phil. 2:3-4. "Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others."
1. Vanity, selfish ambition, empty conceit. Remember the lion. Think two highly of yourself.
2. Think of yourself over others.
3. These will destroy humility, you cannot have these things and be humble.
F. There is a secret to humbling ourselves contained in Phil. 2:4.
1. Verse 4 from the KJV (Closet to the Greek), "Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others." Quit focusing on ourselves! Never mind how you feel, how does the other guy feel. Never mind what you want, what does the other guy want. Never mind your needs what about the other persons needs. "Look not on your things but on the things of others."
2. Pride is when our eyes are on ourselves, humility is when our eyes are on God and others.
3. Humility comes when we make others great. Both in our perspective of them, and in our pursuits. How do we make others great?
a. We make them great in perspective by valuing them more then ourselves. Ever see homeless person (DC), (remember the man in Oneonta), the feeling you had when you saw him. Dirty etc. Think of them as better then yourself. That is humility. That man more value then me, that man is one of God's creation.

To the editor:
I am a graduate of Turkeyfoot Valley Area School. I was involved in many school activities and I can remember being proud to be a student at Turkeyfoot. I felt fortunate to be part of a small community and small school. Now, as a parent of two children attending the Turkeyfoot Valley Elementary School, I am ashamed.
I am ashamed of administrators and school board members. How did our little nice school get to this point? Why are the people in charge of running our school more interested in politics instead of our children?
I hear many ideas of why our test scores are rising, I also hear many people taking (or should I say fighting) for credit. Through all of this, I hear very little credit given to our teachers and students. Why are we not commending them?
