Do you remember when I was working on this dress? Well I finally put on the buttons. I didn't finish the belt, but I thought the simple white ribbon worked just as well. I like the retro feel this dress has. I think I may need to cinch in on the waist, but overall I'm pleased with it. I'll eventually finished the belt and the fabric flower. I was just itching to wear it. I had some other shoes on earlier in the day, but they were falling off my feet for some weird reason. So I threw the brown wedge peeps on. I have a few more sewing projects in the works. Now that the wedding is over, I'll have some time to work on them. Yay!
Lunch today was leftover chicken on top a a bed of mixed green lettuce and mushrooms with a light lime vinaigrette. Oh and a peach for dessert. The stats for this meal:
Protein - 38.2
Carbs - 16.6
Fat - 4.3
Total caloies - 260.5
Dinner was a Rachel Ray 30 Minute Meal recipe. I love turning on The Food Network when I come for lunch. I had just bought some ground turkey when I saw Rachel make some smokey beer burgers. I tried to find her recipe to link it up, but I can't seem to find the right one. I just remembered what I saw and improvised. My burger is basically 1 pkg ground turkey, 1 packet of dry onion soup mix, 1/4 cup of light beer, 4 oz smoked Gouda, paprika, and cumin. The flavor was awesome. I threw it on a piece of wheat toast, made a simple green salad with mushrooms, and some okra with a dash of Cajun seasonings. Here are the stats:
Protein - 33.9
Carbs - 18.4
Fat - 20.1 (yikes!)
Total calories - 397.9
My total calories for the day was 1227. Still no bodybugg. I figured I'll wait another week before wearing it again on a daily basis. I did workout though. I did 30 minutes with my trainer, and 30 minutes of intervals on the treadmill. I really wanted to swim, but I think I needed to give my body a rest.
So tomorrow (Friday), Will and I are off to Nacogdoches (East Texas) for the blueberry festival. I loooove blueberries and they have the best blueberries. I think I ate 15lbs of blueberries last year. Seriously! I have to admit, the festivals in smaller towns are really nice. The admission is free, they had free water, and free ice cream! In Houston, you cannot find that. They want to charge you for everything here. So even though I just got back from vacation, I'm off again for a little mini road trip. I love summer!
I hope everyone has a great weekend. Thanks so much for stopping by!

Hello everyone! Long time no see huh? It has been crazy busy for me with school work. Can you indulge me for a second to go on a bit of a rant? OK, thanks! In my opinion Interior Design is probably the most misunderstood/least known of the professions. The moment most people hear about it they are thinking glitz and glamour, and that all designers are making great amounts of money decorating peoples homes. The thinking is that as a designer all you do is go into someones house, move around a couple of furniture, add pillows and a few accessories and voila! While that is a component of the profession, oh it is so much more. I would say what I'm learning is that, that is the least of what you do. It's definitely way more technical than I or most of the students I talked to anticipated.
I remember when I was applying to the program and going through my interview process, the admissions lady told me that you basically have to have a brain of an artist and an engineer. That woman wasn't lying, sometimes I feel more like I'm doing an engineering program than anything else. I am being challenged in school like I never have before. School has always come easy to me, and because I was always good at the sciences, I was encouraged by family to take that route and be a doctor. For years I persued that route but the more I went the more I realized it wasn't for me, even if it came naturally it wasn't what I wanted to do. I am the person who doesn't want to do something if it's hard for me, I don't like to fail. Trust me I know that is a really bad trait. I don't like it, and since I recognized it in myself I push myself to keep going till I figure it out, and not just say I dont' want to do it. I see my older daughter doing that. When she can't do something she'll just shut down and not want to do it. Talk about passing down a bad gene. :-)
This quarter I am being challenged more than I have ever been in school. It is quite humbling really, to work hard to understand and grasp the concept of something completely foreign. It is also beyond gratifying to keep working until you succeed at something you thought impossible in the beginning.
My advise to anybody wanting to go to school for interior design, because you like to decorate is to do a bit more research and find out other components of the profession that you know/think you'll like.
In all of this I still love what I'm doing, and I'm learning more about myself in the process. I hope I made some kind of sense, and thanks for allowing me this ranting session. Felt good to let it out. :-)
I hope I'll be settling into my new schedule, and I can have more blogging sessions soon. Now you'll know where I am when I go missing for a few days. :-)
I hope you are having beautiful days out there.

This week I had a question about whether you can divorce in Florida if you were married to your same-sex partner in another state and happened upon a story along the same subject involving Martina Navratilova. Ms. Navratilova is coming under a great deal of scrutiny from the gay community for hiding behind Florida's laws regarding same sex marriage in order to protect her assets. Florida does not recognize civil unions or gay marriages from other states, therefore, if you were married in a state that recognizes gay marriage or civil unions, you are not going to be able to file for a divorce in Florida. The Florida courts cannot dissolve something that the State does not recognize. What are you to do if you were married to your gay partner in another state? I have researched this issue, and unfortunately have not really found anything that could shed light on this topic, but for now, it appears that Florida would not recognize your marriage, therefore, you could not seek a divorce. You could file partition actions to split up joint property, but that may be your only legal remedy. If anyone has any comments or suggestions on this topic, please post your comments here for me to share with the rest of my readers.

Martha New Milam is right. It is not that complicated, but a big pain in the you know what if you run off to another state to get married but really live in a state that won't recognize the marriage. There will be problems with splitting property depending on where the property is located.
Until we have a somewhat, uniform national gay marriage act similar to child custody, etc., I recommend that my clients avoid going to another state to get married unless they plan on moving to that state permanently.

If you don't have the hour-glass figure that many would envy, you shouldn't be discouraged to roam around the town with head held high like any supermodel. If you have a flat butt and big tummy, there are remedies you can find. It's actually more on how you dress up. Your choice of dress can flatter your figure or make it look worse. This is why if you really want to look good and feel good, follow these tips on dressing up:
Step #1: Wear a double pair of control top panty hose
In order to make your tummy appear flatter, you should wear a double pair of control top panty hose. You can do this everytime you dress up especially if you are going to wear tight tops.
Step #2: Wear empire cut dresses
Another way to disguise your stomach is to wear empire cut dress with a high waist. Aside from disguising your plump stomach, it can also make you appear taller and thinner.
Step #3: Avoid wearing tight pants
Wearing tight pants will just emphasize the protrusion in your belly area. The trick here is to try to divert the attention of the viewer from your tummy region. If you got long pair of legs, you can actually wear shorts instead of constrictive pants. In this way, the attention of the viewer will be on your legs instead.
Step #4: Wear shorts that have embroidery or pockets at the backside
To add volume to your backside, you can wear shorts with designs on the backside. This gives an illusion of an added volume in that area.

Step #5: Wear your clothes with confidence
You have to wear your clothes with confidence. You have to straighten your posture and avoid slouching. This can help you flatten your tummy and also make your look thinner and taller. Having self-esteem can spell the difference between a plain outfit and an amazing look that's oozing with confidence.
If you have a flat butt and a big stomach, you don't need to undergo a surgery. All you need to do is to wear the right clothes. Again, a control top panty hose can make your stomach flatter. An empire-cut dress can do the trick as well by disguising the protrusion. You need to avoid tight pants and instead wear shorts with interesting embroidery at the backside. And the most important thing to remember is to dress up and walk with confidence.

I wasn't exactly thrilled when Camden asked to have a Transformer theme party for his fourth birthday in January. Then I stumbled upon this awesome web site called Paper Robots 1999 when I was looking for ideas for his Bumblebee Transformer Halloween costume. Robot templates, like Optimus Prime and Megatron Transformers, can be downloaded from the site for free. All you do is "Print, Punch, Cut, Glue, String, and Enjoy!" For this project, I broke out my handy dandy scrapbooking tools and wire. The paper piercer was perfect for the making the holes, and the thin, flexible wire made it easy to thread the pieces together.
And the best part is, it really transforms into a truck. Pure genius!

Genre: Fantasy, Gay Romance
Dying Sucks
Particularly when you discover there really is a hell. Aden thinks there's no way he can avoid going down, but when an angel and demon can't agree over his fate, Aden is given one more month to gain redemption. He doubts he can find a way to become a better man in so short a time. But it's worth a try, right?
Living sucks
Particularly when you can't shake free of an obsessive ex. Brody might be managing to hold down his job as a vet, but his personal life is a mess. If he doesn't pull himself together soon, he's going to be sliding downhill too fast to stop.
One wet night, on a dark country lane, two worlds collide and destinies change forever.
My View:
When Aden's life is abruptly ended and he stands in line for judgement day should he be on his way to heaven or hell?
This is the dilemma he finds himself in even if initially he doesn't quite believe it.
Has Aden's life been good or bad? In all honesty it's been pretty bad but then another question has to be asked – was it entirely Aden's fault? Really, what chance did he stand? It seems even the angels and the demons can't agree on this as when judgement is passed Aden sprouts one white wing and one black. One good and one bad. He's an anomaly so is sent back to earth for a month with seven chances to learn about love and to try and redeem himself.
Brody is a vet who has recently returned home, or rather run back to hide. He is trying to rebuild his life whilst licking his wounds. He has surrounded himself with family but keeps them firmly locked out of his life. Brody is broken and doesn't look to be getting fixed anytime soon – until he hits Aden with his car, killing him, again, and using up one of his precious chances, and then suddenly, maybe Brody stands a chance.
Barbara Elsborg is not known for giving her readers fluffy stories and that is definitely true here. Both characters have to come to terms with abusive pasts both on and off page and it's not an easy task for either of them. The attraction is almost instant between them but Brody is still getting over a relationship and Aden has never had a relationship in his life – his motto was always fuck 'em and move on. Aden is a dead man walking – how is this supposed to work?
More than worrying about whether he will end up in heaven and hell Aden starts to realise more and more just how much he wants to live. Being welcomed into a family is a first, being loved is a first, being cared about is a first, mattering to somebody else is a first and he is suddenly blown away by what could have been. He becomes the man he could have been, should have been and a final selfless act leaves him back standing before Dante and Raphael.
But what will there decision be……..

Remote Lab Instructions
This page is for customers who purchased our 7-day remote lab rental offer that includes our independent study Lab Guide book. On this page, you will find everything you need to access your labs. If you ever need help accessing the labs, please review the Questions and Support section at the bottom of this page.
Step 1 - Connect to and Use our Remote Labs
The e-mail we send you that contains all of the information needed to access your remote lab environment. It will include an attachment called Lab Access - <your name>, and will include:
- Your remote lab user name
- Your remote lab password
- The Fully Qualified Name and non-standard port you will use to MS Terminal Services access your server
Your lab configuration consists of the following components:
- One Windows Server 2003 VM that you use for remote access. You will access this VM via MS Terminal Services (with a connection string like pod__.esxlab.com:2001)
- Two physical ESXi hosts that are accessible to you only from the (above) remote access VM.
Please start with the Lab Access document you received by e-mail. This document provides your user name, password and MS Terminal Services machine IP address and port number (IP:port).
Next, go to Lab 1 in the Lab Guide book and follow the instructions. Lab 1 tells you how to:
- Connect to the remote lab environment
- Log in to your remote access server
- Launch HP's Integrated Lights Out remote management service; and log in
- Power on your ESXi hosts
- Open a Console on your ESXi hosts and initiate the installation of ESXi
Step 2 - Run Through the Labs
Once you make it to this step... you are ready to go. Here are a couple of things to keep in mind when you work with our labs
*Very Important* - IP Address Calculation Within the Server Pod
We use a simple notation intended to allow you to easily calculate the correct IP addresses for your assigned servers and services. This formula is based on the remote access VM and server number(s) assigned to you. The notation is IP+offset... where specific IP addresses are determined by adding the offset to the last octet of a base IP address.
For example, suppose you were assigned to use physical server numbers 1 and 2 in our pod:
- Your unique Server Numbers are 1, and 2
- You would remote into the first server. If you were assigned to use servers in pod 5, your MS Terminal Services connection string may be: pod5.esxlab.com:200+# (where # is your first server #) which becomes pod5.esxlab.com:2001
- To power on your assigned physical servers we use HP Integrated Lights Out remote management cards. The HP ILO port of your servers are 192.168.20.20+# (where + means add, and where # is your assigned server number). This means that the actual ILO IP address for Server 1 is 192.168.20.21 and the ILO IP address for Server 2 is 192.168.20.22, etc.
- The Lab Guide will tell you to set the ESXi Management IP for Server 1 to 192.168.20.50+#. Again, + means add, and # is your Server number. for Server 1, the actual IP is 192.168.20.50+# which is 192.168.20.51. For Server 2, the IP you should use is 192.168.20.52
- If you are assigned servers 11 and 12, then your ILO ports are 192.168.20.20+11 which is 192.168.20.31 and 192.168.20.20+12 which is 192.168.20.32
Things to Keep In Mind While Doing The Labs
You were provisioned with:
- One remote access server (to be used as your vCenter server)
- Two physical servers to be used as ESXi hosts
Because you have two ESXi hosts, you get to do many of the labs twice! This is actually a benefit as doing the labs a 2nd time, on your 2nd machine significantly improves familiarization and helps reinforce the mechanics of the labs...You must install ESXi onto both machines. You must create the same vSwitch configurations on both ESXi hosts, same NFS configurations, install the same Software iSCSI Adapter, etc. or your future VMotion, High Availability and Distributed Resource Scheduling labs won't work. Please follow the guidelines (below) very carefully when completing your labs.
Please proceed through the labs as follows:
- Labs 2, 3, 4. Do these labs on both ESXi hosts
- Labs 5. Do this lab on your first ESXi host only
- Lab 6. Do this lab on your Windows remote access VM
- Lab 7.1 through Lab 7.6 Do this lab on your first ESXi host only
- Lab 8. Do this lab on your Windows remote access VM
- Lab 9. Do this lab on both ESXi hosts
- Lab 10. Do this lab on any one of your ESXi hosts
- Lab 11. Do this lab on your Windows remote access VM

Google has inadvertently rolled out the Google Assistant virtual assistant app to a number of older Android handsets, just days after rumours emerged that the service was heading to the latest crop of phones made by its key partners.
The Nexus 6P and Samsung Galaxy S5 are said to have received an 'alpha' testing version of the application.
Officially, Google Assistant, the company's rival to the iPhone's Siri voice-activated digital assistant, is only available on the Pixel and Pixel XL smartphones.
And although this new version is buggy and likely to be pulled by Google, it does point the way to the service becoming more widely accessible.
Just two weeks ago it was claimed that the new LG G6 would come with Google Assistant, while rumours persist that the Nexus 5X and Nexus 6P would also be getting on board.
Assistant allows users to hold conversations with their phone, as well as make restaurant reservations, set reminders and summon help with getting from A to B.
Android 7.0 Nougat is only on 1% of Android phones
Slow take-up for latest version of Google's operating system.
Nexus phones set to get Google Assistant
Pixel–only feature heading to other Google smartphones, claims report.
Google Pixel 2 and Pixel 2B: What we know so far
Here's a round-up of all the rumours about Google's latest smartphones.

As we entered the park I noticed that Mary Piper was there doing hot laps. I hoped we would see her. A couple minutes on the trail and there she was. Shalini was very impressed with Mary, as most people are. { Thanks Mary for saying such nice things about me.} While Shalini and I walked we talked about our kids, hubbys,India, Americans, biking, the outdoors and religion. I learned a lot and at the same time was able to let go of some misconceptions I had about her culture. No question was off limits. For either of us. After 3 miles we called it since we needed to return to preschool.
Arriving at the classroom , Shalini immediately began telling Michelle of our hike. Michelle smiled and said " my husband and I are going to CO to do some hiking , I guess I should be getting my legs ready". I asked her if she would like to join us sometime. She said, YES I would love that. How lucky I am to have opportunity knock again and be able to share/ teach things I am so passionate about. Neither of these women have an idea of the trail systems they both live so close to. With the change in weather coming I think its the best time to start hiking. I feel very blessed to have been given this chance to show them whats out there. Now, all I need to do is find a way to get paid for it. LOL What a perfect job for me. A friend of mine referred to it as Hike and Bike Therapy. Hmmmmm.
In other news, I have lights for the Burnin', from a self proclaimed "light whore" so I can "blaze forth" into the night. Thanks Mitch! Now if I only had a pit crew????

Happy New Years! 2013! Wohoooo! It's going to be a good year, you wanna know why?? Well my New Years resolution is to write a post at least once a week, so we are (you and me) all going to be learning so many new recipes full of fresh, healthy, delicious ingredients. Get ready guys!
Ok but before we get to the three fantastic hummus recipes, I want to tell you guys about my New Years 2013, because yes, it was pretty amazing. So instead of wilding at a party or hitting up the clubs me and my friends decided we were going to run the annual Emerald Nuts Midnight Run through Central Park. What it is for those who are not sure, is a 4 mile run through Central Park that takes off at midnight. Fireworks fill the air and people stand along the sidelines and cheer the runners on. Sparkling cider is served at the half way point, a little bubbly to keep ya motivated!
Here is a link to the cite (http://www.nyrr.org/races-and-events/emerald-nuts-midnight-run)
It was a really positive way to start off 2013 and if anybody decides to do it next year I will definitely be there again, running into 2014!
Ok but enough of that, now let's talk hummus. Yummy hummy in my tummy. Most hummus recipes require you to add tahini paste, a sesame seed paste which I can only seem to find in ginormous quantities for a large amount of cash, no good. So I have put together three hummus recipes which do not use the expensive tahini paste, and instead use regular household ingredients to create the creamy deliciousness we all know and love. And what is not to love about hummus? It is extremely healthy, loaded with protein and fiber. Dip a celery stick into it, drop a dollop over a salad, spread it on toast or in a wrap with some spinach, slip some into soup to add texture and flavor (I know weird huh, but trust me it's delicious!).
Ok first off the Chipolte Sweet Potato Hummus. So in this recipe it is the Sweet Potato that takes the place of the tahini paste. The creamy sweetness of the potato work so perfectly with the spicy bite of the chipolte pepper. My favorite combo with this one is to spread some on a pita chip and top with a sliced cucumber…yum!
Chipolte Sweet Potato Hummus
- 1 medium Sweet Potato
- 1 can (15 ounce) of chickpeas
- 1 chipolte pepper in adobe sauce
- 2 Tbs extra virgin olive oil
- 2 Tbs water
- Wash and dry the sweet potato. Poke it with a fork many times all over the surface.
- Place the poked sweet potato in the microwave for 8 minutes, or until cooked through i.e. soft to the touch, slightly mushy.
- While the sweet potato is cooking drain the chickpeas in a colander and wash them with water to release the excess salt.
- Put chickpeas in a food processor.*
- Once sweet potato is done cooking remove skin, chop and add to the food processor.
- Remove one chipolte pepper and roughly chop it before adding it to the processor.
- Close the top and process food while slowly adding the extra virgin olive oil and water.
- Process until smooth.
- Top with a sprinkle of extra virgin olive oil for richness and to retain moisture.
- *Any sort of blender, magic bullet or vitamix will work as well!
- If you do not like it spicy, only add half of the pepper. If you like it really spicy add another half.
- I store the rest of the chipolte peppers in a container in my freezer. I don't use them very often, and so this way they don't go bad before the next time I decide to whip up some spicy chipolte sweet potato hummus!
Next! Peanut butter hummus!! I know right, the the two best things in the world coming together in an out of this world combination. This hummus was surprisingly not peanut buttery. I could barely taste the peanut butter in the final product, which was by no means a bad thing. The peanut butter gave this hummus an extremely smooth consistency, no tahini needed. Enjoy on cucumbers, the best dipping combo in my opinion.
Peanut Butter Hummus
- 3 Tbs smooth peanut butter*
- 3 Tbs fresh squeezed lemon juice (about 2 lemons)
- 1 Tbs plus 2 tsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 tsp ground cumin
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas
- 1 garlic clove, mashed
- 7 Tbs water
- Drain chickpeas in colander and rinse them.
- Place all ingredients except water into food processor.
- Process while slowly adding water, tablespoon by tablespoon.
- Process until smooth
- *Use peanut butter that has only roasted peanuts in the ingredient list. Unlike more processed peanuts butters, these butters that are made strictly from peanuts contain no trans-fats or added sugars, only heart healthy mono-unsaturated fats which can increase the HDL or healthy cholesterol levels reducing risks of heart attack.
- Adopted from a recipe in Cooking Light Magazine
Lastly, Julia Child's Rouille. Not exactly a hummus, as there are no beans used, rather, instead there is a potato base mixed with bell pepper and spice. It is meant to be added to her famous Bouillabaise, a mediterranean fish soup. But I think it is even better spread across a thin slice of day old baguette. Let's get to it.
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 medium potato
- 1 tsp Cholula hot sauce
- 4 cloves garlic, mashed
- 1 tsp thyme
- 4 Tbs extra virgin olive oil
- 2 Tbs water
- Boil water in a small sauce pan. Add salt and bell pepper to the water. Boil for 5-7 minutes, until tender to touch.
- Wash and dry potato. Poke with a fork many times across the surface and place in microwave oven for 8 minutes, or until tender.
- Once bell pepper is thoroughly boiled, chop and place in food processor.
- Once potato is tender and cooked through, remove skin, chop roughly and place in food processor.
- Add the Cholula, garlic and thyme to food process and begin to process.
- Slowly add the extra virgin olive oil and water while processing.
- Process until smooth.
- Great use for leftover baked potatoes! Just remove the skin and chop.
- Adopted from Julia Child's Mastering the Art of French Cooking.
So there are three delicious ways to enjoy your food and stay healthy throughout 2013! Happy New Year!

I run a powerglide set up in a streetstock 78 malibu and it performs very well. 1st you need a rear pump -what this does is allow rotation of the drive shaft to pump the fluid and this in turn will rotate the engine-in other words if you get in a fender bender on the track and stall out you can get a push like the guys with the manuals. next you need to have a torque converter that is both light and hooks up at low rpm. the lightness will help reduce rotating mass which will help you come off the corner harder and the hook up will keep you from stepping into the gas only to find that you spinout every time. borg-warner is the brand clutches i use and they haven't failed me yet. forget the cooler in the radiator put a tranny cooler in the passenger side and put a electric fan on it.
theres lots more but thats a start.

As reported by Censor.NET correspondent, Nayyem said it during a rally outside the building of the PGO that demanded a probe into the recent clash involving PGO employees and NABU special forces.
According to Nayyem, NABU's work is being impeded. The bureau is unable to conduct its own investigations and is forced to seek assistance from the PGO and the SBU, who tend to leak the information and gloss over cases.
Moreover, he noted that those who were once persecuting Lutsenko, Tymoshenko, Poroshenko and other people continue to hold posts in courts, the PGO, the Interior Ministry and the SBU.
"Today, instead of fighting against schemes and real criminals in power, Prosecutor General Lutsenko has unleashed a war against the country's first and only independent anti-corruption agency," Nayyem noted.
He is also outraged by the fact that Lutsenko has not yet made an official statement regarding the conflict and failed to spare the time to meet with NABU chief Sytnyk.

Objective: To chose a scenario and film a sequence with an implied meaning with any number of shots but no longer than 90 seconds.
For this assignment I have chosen:
Action Somebody chooses a drink Implied Meaning One of the drinks is poisoned.
I have my friends Julie and Cavan helping me with the acting and while I am starting with a script and storyboard, this usually is flexible with suggestions and ideas from the set.
Here is my basic script and story board:
Frame/shot 01
Man arrives home: close up of key unlocking door.
Frame/shot 02
Medium shot of man opening door and stepping inside
Frame/shot 03
Medium shot of woman pouring drinks in kitchen, "Hello darling, just pouring us a drink"
Man: "Just what I need, I'm exhausted!"
Frame/shot 04
Closer shot of woman placing tray on table. Zoom in on the lipstick smudge.
Frame/shot 05
Man picks up smudged glass,
Woman: "Oh dear, here have this one I'll get a clean glass" Man takes the other drink, woman goes to kitchen.
Frame/shot 06
Woman washes glass;
Sounds off: Thud and a chink, the man has fallen. Woman looks over her shoulder and smiles to herself.
Frame/shot 07
Down shot of man's legs sticking out from behind the coffee table with a spilled drink.
Either a pan up to the woman dialling a mobile phone or a separate shot:
Frame/shot 7A
Woman is speaking to the emergency services, "Yes. I'd like to report an accident………………"
Having recorded the sequence and put together a rough edit, I couldn't find any other way of sequencing the shots to make any different sense of it. I finalised the edit as shown below.
- Working with actors is great fun but I do need to balance their needs with mine. I was conscious that these people had given up a couple of hours of their time to help me so I was rushing a bit as I knew they had things to do. Less haste, more speed.
- Panning and zooming – more practice needed. I need to loosen off the fluid tilt head on my tripod a little more and practice slow, smooth panning and zooming!
- Planning and preparation – I need more. Because these sequences are so short I have tended to rely on just the storyboard/script and my memory to shoot with. Perhaps for the remaining assignments I will make detailed notes for each shot so I don't forget things. Working on the premise that it is always better to have too much and leave it on the cutting room floor ………………

5 Tips about how to summon satan You Can Use Today"Effectively, that's currently sufficient to get you thrown off this course. I suppose you currently know that. Because you're telling me this, would I be accurate in assuming that anything went Mistaken?"
5000 words, give or choose. That's what's needed to summon a creature within the netherworld. 5000 text, most of them polysyllabic in the extreme, to praise, beguile and, in the end, to command a ghastly entity to come forth from wherever they abide. Despite recent attempts at modernisation, archaic language was still the recognized conventional and there have been an abundance of "verily"s, "forsooth"s etc littered Among the many Lovecraftian prose. Truthfully, "antediluvian"? Has any person mentioned "antediluvian" in the last 50 decades?
"Recite the phrases Together with the name you want to get in touch with inscribed in the middle." Stan imagined to himself. He walked via his roughly drawn pentagram, candles alit, watchful not to phase on any lines. Over the previous workbench, beside the rotting neighborhood stray Pet dog, was a jar filled midway with blood. Aged and partly coagulated, Stan grabbed the tail on the Doggy, previously severed, combined with the jar and set it down in the midst of the pentagram.
She stared into the eyes on the Excess fat aged man standing just before her while in the (however faintly glowing) circumscribed chalk pentagram. He appeared confused and frightened. And fairly sweaty – his outfit was completely inappropriate for your space, what with the heat becoming offered off from the circle of braziers and also the crackling electrical warmth while in the air that generally accompanied arcane energies and ritual. Morgana turned absent and sighed.
It was so clear, on seeing the photographs within the ebook, darkish photographs of youngsters sneaking out at nighttime to pray for misdeeds. The photographs of Satan have been a tad unusual, Kyle admitted.

He observed no rationale not to abide by this principle when he was summoning unspeakable forces of darkness. Sadly, a single is seldom conditioned to work with a hearth extinguisher on candles, so During this moment, he didn't visualize it. *three It is a fact that every effective invocation due to the fact the center ages befell in a cellar somewhere.
"What do you think that?" I requested back again. "Figured I might notice him for some time, maybe finally convey to him his circle is the other way up." Nick just laughed.
Nevertheless worried to glimpse specifically on the mighty Evil One particular, Carl acquired to his feet unsure of what to mention or do with his hands. Summoning every ounce of braveness he could muster, Carl cracked just one eye open up and peeked out to an empty read more bedroom.
Daimon battled the Black University.[28] Now contacting himself "Hellstorm", he in the long run uncovered a means to lastly defeat his father. Daimon uncovered his father's legitimate name -- Marduk Kurios—and utilised the power of this information to eventually kill him.
From the movie of goat blood all around his eyes, Charles could see a form arise from the center from the summoning circle. It had labored. Continuously he experienced put in reading through previous tomes and finding out tips on how to summon Satan hadn't gone to waste.
What had that fool finished this time? I stretched and sat up, ah he had tried out summoning again. I noticed Nick standing there wanting through the child to me in confusion.
He was spun all-around and the black grimace of Santa's accurate, demoniac visage adopted him to your afterlife because the 4 slavering helldeer established on him, tearing him apart prior to he had even experienced an opportunity to scream.
And with a skip in his action, he left the 3 satanists, with a new property, and new night and also a new goal.

This week I have another author interview, and it's with Kay MacLeod. Kay, like me, plans before she writes, but she plans more than me, by the looks of it. The Pinterest page is a good idea. I've also looked around for images of my characters and found random pictures online where the person looks like the character I am creating; it's' a good way of keeping consistency. I won't chat on, I'll let you read Kay's interview and please click on her links and take a look at 'Heirs Of Power,' her first novel.
Hi, Kay! Please tell us a bit about yourself and your background
Hi everyone, I'm a self-published author with an unhealthy obsession for epic fantasy, and tea. I come from Nottinghamshire in England where I live with my husband and adorable tuxedo cat. I've been creating stories and characters for most of my life. So, now it's time to share them.
If I'm not attached to my keyboard doing author-related activities, I'll be devouring books, playing RPGs, or listening to much heavier music than most people would expect.
Who, or what, first inspired you to write?
I think I could read before I could walk, so I've always had a love for books. Even at primary school part of me wished I could write my own, but a lack of confidence, and a lack of determination, held me back from doing more than a few short stories for fun. I have piles of drawings, plans, family trees, and character bios from years of work, but it took a big push to finally start my first novel.
Sat in church one day, our message was about passion. 'What are you passionate about?' All I could think of was my stories, my characters, my worlds. Of course, I was mortified that I should have been contemplating something much more noble, but the speaker said that we shouldn't discount the passions we do have, we should do something with them. So, a year later Heirs of Power was completed. Now I don't think I could stop.
Where does your inspiration for a story come from?
The tiniest places. A fragment remembered from a dream, a wistful thought of 'I wish it had happened like that instead.' One day I heard a dad shouting his daughter and I loved her name, and it made me think- what kind of character would have that name? What would she do? What powers would she have? What kind of world would she live in? I've created an entire series from that one spark. I guess names must be a powerful catalyst for me because I drafted a novel in my mind one afternoon after randomly coming up with interesting name.
What is your writing process?
Plan. A lot. I know some authors can rock up to a blank page and see where it takes them, but I am not one of those authors. I do work on each character, making sure they have unique traits, even finding pictures of people that look like them (you can see them on my Pinterest page). My plot is all laid out, even by chapter so I know I have a decent hook at the end of each one. I'm not saying it all stays this neat and tidy during the process though, things get shifted and characters grow out of the little boxes I've put them in. It just helps me so much to have a point to start from, otherwise I find myself staring at that blank page and struggling to know where to start. Oh, and there must be tea. Lots of tea.
Can you list your favourite books (by other authors) and say what attracts you to them?
That's always a hard question, and there are so many, so I'll just pick out a few.
I love the Shadows of the Apt series by Adrian Tchaikovsky, mainly because it isn't predictable. The characters are all different shades of grey and have realistic motivations and flaws in their personalities, and no-one is safe. There are plenty of hard-hitting moments, to the point that it gets scary when someone you like turns up! And the world is one of the most original I've ever come across.
I really enjoyed the Matthew Swift books by Kate Griffin, again this is a pretty unique take on the fantasy genre and the story will keep you hooked. The urban magic system in this series is truly fascinating, and funny in some places, and the setting in London is so imaginatively described.
I'm a big fan of Terry Pratchett's Discworld series too, it's absolutely hilarious and the characters are brilliant. It's surprising how many little morals there are buried within it, and great lines that get you thinking. He had such a distinct voice, and talent for intelligent humour.
What have been your experiences with publication, indie, self, traditional or otherwise?
I've only had the experience of self-publishing my first book. I have to say that there are positives and negatives with all types of publishing, I decided to go this route because I wanted the freedom to not have to conform to current trends. I wanted to write the book that I wanted to write and I understood that would mean a huge amount of work, but it was worth it. The hardest thing is having to learn all the skills that are involved with taking a story and transforming it into a book, it made it a lot easier to get a team of amazing people to help me out. I would have been stuck without them!
What are you working on now and what's coming out next?
Right now, I'm working on the last few chapters of the second book of The Constellation Saga, that will be my next release. I'm so excited, there's some big moments that I hope people won't see coming, and we get to dig a bit more into the characters. Maybe meet some new ones too…
Where can we find out more about you and follow you?
You can visit any of these links. I have a lot of great stuff on my website, including news, reviews, and interviews. The Constellation pictures I mentioned are on Pinterest, and I do daily getting to know you questions on Facebook if you want to find out more about me and answer them yourself.

DataGuides: Enabling Query Formulation and Optimization in Semistructured Databases
Year: 1997
Authors: Roy Goldman, Jennifer Widom
Structure in data gives us a lot of power for querying, processing and users understanding the data, as seen in the relational model. However imposing structure on real world data could be challenging and thus limiting. How to work with semi-structured data was under active research. DataGuides serve as dynamic schemas generated from the database that are helful for browsing, querying and storing statistics.
Background: Object Exchange Model
It is built in the Lore system, which follows the Object Exchange Model (OEM). Each object in OEM contains an object identifier and a value, which could be atomic values (such as a number, string), or complex values, such as a set of subobjects OEM.
Below is an example OEM database.
We need some OEM definitions to define DataGuides (I have found it easier to just look at the examples):
- label path: sequence of labels to traverse a path of edges where the edge has corresponding label (In Figure 1, Restaurant.Name and Bar are both valid label paths of object 1).
- data path: sequence of alternating labels and oids that traverse a path of edges through n objects such that the edge has the label and the object has the oid. Restaurant.2.Name.5 and Bar.4 are data paths of object 1.
- A data path d is an instance of a label path l if the sequence of labels in d is equal to l: Restaurant.2.Name.5 is an instance of Restaurant.Name and Bar.4 is an instance of Bar
Target set: In an OEM object s, a target set is a set t of oids such that there exists some label path l of s where t = {o l1.o1.l2.o2…ln.o is a data path instance of l}. The target set of Restaurant.Entree in Figure 1 is {6, 10, 11}
- a given source database is identified by its root object and a DataGuide is intended to reflect the structure of a database (or metadata).
Note that one could use these definitions to query the underlying data as well. A query may look like the following:
Select Restaurant.Name
Where Restaurant.Entree = "Burger"
What is a DataGuide
Definition: A DataGuide for an OEM source object s is an OEM object d such that every label path of s has exactly one data path instance in d, and every label path of d is a label path of s.
Note that DataGuides themselves are also part of the database (hence in the example the nodes all have greater/different ID values). Below is an example of the dataguide for the previous example.
Dataguides could also have annotations to aid query formulation. Its defined as: "In a source database s, given a label path l, a property of the set of objects that comprise the target set of l in s is said to be an annotation of l. That is, an annotation of a label path is a statement about the set of objects in the database reachable by that path." These annotations come in handy for assisting queries.
Building DataGuides
"Creating a DataGuide over a source database is equivalent to conversion of a non-deterministic finite automaton (NFA) to a deterministic finite automaton (DFA)" It's really cool that this works out so neatly!
The worst case bound is exponential in the number of objects but in practice its not that bad, and the authors have devised some more relaxed summary structure thats cheaper to create.
There might be multiple dataguides (could derive from automata theory of NFA to DFA), and the algorithm does not find the minimal one due to high maintenance cost (see example below). The annotations (defined in previous section) requires that the dataguide to be unambiguous (e.g. node 20 is ambiguous), which motivates strong dataguides.
Strong dataguides is intuitively defined to enforce that dataguides do not have ambiguous target set of any label path.
There is a lot of emphasis on how to maintain correct dataguides efficiently and the authors present many algorithms.
Using DataGuides
Dataguides is also easy for implementing query by example.
The annotations for dataguides could contain some sample values, so that users could fetch all the tuples despite loose scheme. For example, the country might be stored as USA or United States.
Dataguides could also help with query optimization. Due to the semi-structured nature most of the existing techniques need to be adjusted.

I am planning to buy this phone soon once it is released in my country. Please let me know your opinion about the battery life. The battery life of the original touch pro can last for one day and half including one hour wifi, 45 min to 1 hour audio, and 1 to 1.5 hours talk time.

Your choice are limited to Omina Pro and Htc touch pro2, I like the interface of Omnia pro, but I still love the HTC pro2. I have the HTC pro 1, and I was not planning to buy the pro2, but now I cannot resist after all the good reviews that I have read. I was planning to buy the superstar with tegra ship, but it seems that it will be late.
Again, slide out keyboard is a must if you plan to edit documents, spreadsheet, or planinng to send a lot of e-mails and sms. I tried the diamond 2 excel without keyboard, and I can say it is impossible to work with it. Another aspect is that when you are using the slideout keyboard, the whole is screen is all yours, but the virtual keyboard is taking space from the screen.
Hope this helps.
Can some body advice me which mobile shall I go for taking in consideration that I also prefer to uise it for the business use more than multimedia use ( My main concern is to have a phone that it is more stable and does not hangs where i need to do restart every few days)
Iam confused between:
Samsung I8000 Omnia II
Samsung B7610 OmniaPRO
HTC Touch Pro 2
Please advice
I heard the touch pro2 will be running at $800.00 unlocked of course, for me, that's a bit much. I just purchased a high end 4GB RAM (450GB memory) notebook for $700 with loads of other features. I was looking forward to this phone, but the price is so damn high. I look forward to the Nokia N97 in a few months then. I can wait. there is a site that use some good info about the touch pro2, http://www.AllTouchPro2.com i want to hear what your view is on this smart phone.

Living Up to the Labels
Most Professional: Usually means most successful. I heard a quote once that said, "No one ever lost a client because they were too professional."
Perfect Attendance: Nothing means more to your guests than being there for them, everyday. This does not include contagious infections, deaths or family milestones, but does include spontaneous beach days, goof-off days or booking out because of an empty book.
Everyone's Friend: When everyone knows your name and considers you a friend, even if you are not their first option as a service provider, you are their second, so if something ever happens/changes, the opportunity will be there for you to seize.
Most Improved: My daughter won this award on her softball team, and as a salon owner, I would rather have a team of most improved players than anything else. Most improved people know that life can always get better, and the great thing about those who start needing improvement and rise above, they get it. They know they just have to work harder than everyone else and they will continue to do so again, and again.

I caught the trailer a couple of weeks ago whilst watching Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps and decided to catch this on Monday with a colleague. Here's a quick review for what is in my opinion an inane movie.
The Other Guys had its moments especially with Dwayne Johnson (The Rock) & Samuel L. Jackson's cameo appearance in the first 10mins of the movie. The scene of their demise is especially memorable. Heh.
It's a typical Will Ferrell flick with an inane plot and some pretty far out moments. The movie does have its moments but it was a pretty mind-numbing movie to sit through. The plot had some promise but the writers must have run out of ideas cos' it fizzled out 3 quarters through the flick. Even with very little thought I managed to figure out how it was gonna pan out which is rare for me as I don't usually think too hard about how a movie is gonna end to enjoy how the writers' develop the plot.
Mark Wahlberg deserves a special mention here cos' I found his over-the-top angry cop character to be quite a hoot. It was pretty cool to see Michael Keaton whom I remember from Tim Burton's Batman movies in this one. Eva Mendes is smoking hot in this one; you've gotta see it to believe it.
I give The Other Guys a 2 out of 5.

When I export my form submissions to a CSV file, JotForm downloads the file to my Browser's download location.
Is there a preference in JotForm so that I set the location and name of the download? I'll be collecting data on a daily basis, and would like to put the file in a specific location and add a date as a suffix eg 'Contact-Form.csv' would become 'Contact-Form_2015_04_09.csv' and be downloaded to C:\MyFolder.
Another application would then collects the correctly dated file and processes it.
Any ideas?

- alp_denizAnswered on April 09, 2015 at 02:39 AM
Per your request, date will be added to default CSV filenames. However, I can't yet see a method to download into a custom folder using a browser, as this is fixed by browser's own security settings.
On the other hand, you might like to use JotForm API in order to get and process submissions automatically. Would it work for you?
Kind regards

Well finally got around to starting something on the 240SMK's. I know i have shot the 190's and have had great success. As i have with the 220's. I havent had any dealings with the 240's though. Wondering if any of you guys have had first hand expirience with them? Barrel is a 1/10 Twist. So how will they perform? Lets see what you all have to say?
No announcement yet.
What about those 240SMK's??
new posts
I think the 240's work best from a bigger round like the 300RUM. The 190's do a great job from the 300WM. I personally prefer the 190's over anything else in the WM. To me, it seems to be the right weight /BC / to velocity mix in the WM.
I have used mostly the 190gr SMKs in all my 300WM rifles. On the advice of a few of the members here, I have purchased some 220gr SMKs for testing purposes, but I haven't got any loaded as of yet. I too have had awesome results with the 190gr loads and barring a miracle from the 220s, that is what I'll stick with.
As for the 240gr SMK...Sierra states that the bullet was designed for barrels with a twist rate of at least 1 in 9". Most 300WM barrels straight from the factory don't get that tight a twist (mostly 1 in 10" or so). While some people are using them in slower twist barrels, I can't imagine that you will be able to achieve the kind of accuracy, stability, and consistency that the lighter weight bullets (190-200gr) will yield. At most, I would push 220gr SMKs out of your win mag.
If you really want to push 250-300gr bullets, move on up to the 338LM or the 338RUM...just make sure you get a good muzzle brake. smilewin
ORD out...Better pointed bullets than pointed speeches. - Otto von Bismark (1815-1898
I read an article a months ago about this very subject by a guy name Wes who posts over at AR15.com and here is his response to a recent question on this very subject http://www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=6&f=5&t=169154
He says the 1 in 10" will work fine with the 240s because that's all he uses. I have a few and plan on trying them when I get a chance because it's not high on my list of things to do.
I was about to mention an article in the Sept issue of Precision Shooting about a guy who shot 240s on his 300 WM with decent results and then I noticed you mentioned the first name of the guy who posts on AR15.com, same guy who wrote the article.
I have shot the 240 MK as slow as 2700fps, and as fast as 3100 fps from my 1-10 twist barrel. I have had them stable and grouping in the .2-.30 M.O.A. range at 100. The ogives on the 240s vary a lot.I have to sort them by length to get better then .5 M.O.A at 700 yards though. My working load is 3008 fps from a 29.5" 300RUM. You may want to try the 210 JLKs but good luck getting them to fit in a magazine.
Semper FiSniper: The Modern day warlord of the battlefield.
I should add that when I began working with the 240 MK and shot it at 2700 Fps, I was at 4500 feet elevation, with a temp of 35 to 40 degrees. If you are lower you may have a hard time stabilizing it at that velocity.Sniper: The Modern day warlord of the battlefield.

I was watching this episode on National geographic channel regarding the most amazing photographs.Though the topic is a real study,what made them amazing wasn't all that nice.It was this middle eastern photographer touring Afghanistan and trying to captivate a little of what essence is left in that God Forsaken country literally.He photographed this girl,not more than 13 years of age.She had blown an arm off in a bomb blast.She stood still for the photograph but it wasnt the arm I kept looking at,it was her eyes.
Her eyes told stories of horror,of destruction ,of famine and about many things most of us generally get to experience in our senile years or maybe not even then.There was this copy of national geographic that made headlines with the cover photo.The photo of the Afghani girl with cat eyes.Looking into them was learning what sadness really was.
All this sadness reminded me of this video I saw online on facebook.Someone forwarded it to me and has been one of the most chilling and horrifying to listen even.Oh all humanity has gone to crap.This woman spoke about the children and herself,in a hope to create awareness among people and thus,induce some sense of sympathy.At the end of it,I hated myself for being human.And put a wrath on all such animals.
It was about child rape,mass rape and prostitution.A 4 year old girl was raped by more than 100 men and her intestines were spewing out of her vagina from all the violent rape of her tiny baby body.What the fuck have people come down to? Such men should be castrated physically.The speaker herself was gang raped by 8 men when she was 14 yrs old.
I read such articles and just cannot trust anyone for at least a week.You have legalley granted prostitution allotted to freaks,dance bars ,gay bars and what not,and someone still feels the need to rape a child.Im disgusted with us humans who try to go all out there and embrace the new.I wish god just struck such bad people down at the very moment when something like this happens.
Anyways,I would want to forget this topic for now and go on to a happy note.Chopped my hair coz I had a medication side effect alopecia.Plucked my eyebrows just perfect,the first time on my own,might I add.I have a horror movie in my PC which Im afraid to watch on my own.Im spending the weekend all alone.The governement has renovated this beach close to my house with exercise machines and swings and the best thing its beautiful,free and has a joggers park as well.Im dying to have good get together when my husband is done with his emergency duty.I cooked chicken curry with rice and had a over nice helping of it and Im glimpsing at my tummy every now and then and doing Baba Ramdev's tummy exercise wherever Im am in the hope of melting down some fat and dropping some pounds.Yeah ! The more I obsess,the more I do Baba's tummy toning and freak about gaining half a kg or more.The other day i was watching this tamil song I love and broke into this tiny dance lasting 40 seconds.Ended up panting like a cheetah after a 50 mile run.My husband was so pissed off,he was like," Continue doing your item number.I wont even take you to the hospital this time."But it was 40 seconds of pleasure to me.It took me a whole 20 minutes to collect my breath.Its a sad picture all right but Hypertension isnt a wonderful disease to live with.
Oh yeah ! I have a great remedy for stinky feet.Got it from Dr.Oz's show.Boil tea in a water,cool the black tea down real well and then have a foot bath for 15 minutes.Wash and scrub your feet before you immerse them ,dont want crap to blend into the concoction.dry your feet up after the dip and let the foot breathe.Vola! Do this for a week and then every alternate day.

Again, I have some projects from last fall to share with you today. As you can likely tell, I am cleaning out the old photos while I work on some new projects to share! I have been a busy bee getting some projects ready for the upcoming CR84FN challenges, as well as a few other things... all in good time, my friends!
I have 2 similar baby cards to share that I made for a friend's coworkers in the fall.
On the onesie, I used my Copic blender pen to draw a cross-hatch pattern:
This stamp is one of my favourite baby stamps - and I picked it up in the $1.50 bin at Michaels!
On the baby carriage, I used the same technique to create a polka dot pattern:
Again, just a $1.50 stamp! I like the simplicity of the images, and they're fun to colour!

Making progress. I spent much of July doing book research, outlining, struggling with chapter one, and goofing off doing summer things.
I got a little fed up at my lack of progress, so declared (quietly, to myself) that I would get my ass in gear starting on Monday, August 4th. Not for any particular reason other than I would be just returning from a four day trip to Minnesota for my sister-in-law's wedding.
Two days in and things are going great. I changed the starting point for Chapter One and it has really improved the flow of the chapter. 2,000 words over two days isn't bad for late evening writing. And now that I'm into it, I'll start moving faster.
Child of the Knight is getting very good reviews, but sales are slow. I'm not going to make the same mistake I made after Eternal Knight. After EK I had hoped that awesome sales would motivate me to write more books.
I had it wrong. Writing more books motivates readers to buy more books.
Oops. Back to work.
