Uma was born April 29, 1970. She left her Massachusetts boarding school at the age of 15 to begin acting. She moved to New York and washed dishes and modeled to pay her bills. She reportedly did not like the modeling.
In 1987, she had her film debut in "Kiss Daddy Goodnight". The next year she was in the comedy, "Johnny B. Good". Later that year she would appear in "Dangerous Liasons" which would be one of the bigger films in her career. In 1990, she would star in Henry and June and would find her explicit love scenes attracted fans that would scare her away from taking any more roles for a while. Uma would disappear off of everybody's radar until "Pulp Fiction" would reestablish her back on the Hollywood scene.
Uma would star in "The Truth about Cats and Dogs" in 1996, and then "Beautiful Girls", neither of which would qualify as solid fare. She would however win a Golden Globe for Best Actress for her role in "Hysterical Blindness" in 2002. Nobody could deny that Uma was a star after "Kill Bill Vol.1" and it's aptly named sequel "Kill Bill Vol.2". She would return to comedy with "My Super Ex-Girlfriend."
Uma has long, straight blonde hair with straight cut bangs.

text: Bought a book in the Head First series about C#. The command to output text that they keep using in the book is MessageBox.show("text"). However in order to work for me I need to do Response.Write("text"). Is this because I downloaded Visual Web Developer instead of Visual Studio? The project I created is an ASP.NET Web application. So this uses a totally different syntax than what's being taught in the book? Should I just return the book?

Ok so what do I order?
Attachment – Do you want to attach the boards to the chest or barbell, or both. The bench block allows you to work 1 inch off the chest
Baseboard – This is the initial board that is attached to either the chest strap or the bench block. The Baseboard is 1" in thickness. The 2" Baseboard has been discontinued in favor of the 1" Baseboard.
Repboards – Ok, so you have chosen the attachment, and the baseboard, now how many additional boards do you require? Each Repboard adds 1.5 inches.
The Chest Strap is made from a elasticated material so will fit any size chest.
- Durable, they are made from a high compression strength foam, they will last a lifetime
- Compact, easily stow away in your gym bag
- Comfortable
- Easily attached to the chest or to the Barbell
- Easily interlocked and detached, and no limit on the number of boards you can add
- Adaptable to a variety of exercises
QUESTIONS & ANSWERSAsk a Question
Is the Bench block necessary in order to attach the base boards to the chest, or can you attach the base board directly to the chest strap? Many thanks
The Bench Block is only necessary if you wish to attach the boards to the barbell. If you just want to use the boards on your chest, then all you need is the chest strap and a baseboard, then any addtional boards you require. Hope that helps :)

So you guys remember a while back when I posted
my recipe for homemade hamburger buns? Well I
wanted to try hot dog buns but I was afraid I wouldn't be able to get the shape just right so I decided I'd wait until I could order a "shaper" to make sure I got them just right..... then I came back to reality and decided that was a waste of money! Soooooo I made up a big batch of dough yesterday and made some more yummy buns, a few rolls and, you guessed it, hot dog buns!
They are actually pretty easy to shape, I just simply shaped them like a hot dog! I know, brilliant right!!! Just be sure not to make them too big around, because they are, of course, going to rise and spread. It took me a couple of times of making the hamburger buns to get the shape and size down just right, one time I made them for a friend and they turned out looking like big fat Frisbees instead of buns! So I wasn't full of confidence that they would be the right size on the first try, although as you can see, it's pretty close! This is a super economical and VERY yummy general bread recipe so even if the shape isn't great you can always use the bread for something other than it's original intent if it doesn't come out right :)
Let me know if you try it, how it turns out!!!

Aunts are worse than stalkers.
Sometimes I feel like I'm channeling my mom's youngest sister, my dear Aunt Susie, who died far too young. She never had children, and she used to document our every family holiday with dozens of snapshots (and drove us insane while she was doing it). Her favorite threat when we got goofy from exasperation was that she'd show the photos to our boyfriends when we got older.
Taking pictures still sometimes feels like work to me…lugging a big camera around and having to watch out for it every second isn't a fun task if you're with a bunch of little kids. But it's worth it. How did these three get so dang good-looking, anyway? Good genes, I guess.
I never thought I'd be so lucky to have two nieces who live close by. A friend of mine who has four boys grabbed my arm at a department store once and cried, "Let's go look at the little girls' clothes!"
But pink shoes and hair ribbons aside, my nieces will always have a special place in my heart since I'll never get the chance to have a daughter. And Jack helps me remember how much fun little boys are (since I can't remember much from when my sons were little–that's what happens when you have three kids in two-and-a-half years).

While all eyes were on university research when the Higher Education Funding Council for England announced its allocations for 2009-10 earlier this year, another story was quietly unfolding.
Even after Hefce's recent efficiency cuts, further education colleges, which today do far more than they say on the tin, are becoming significant players in the higher education sector and are fast being dubbed the "new polytechnics". The largest picked up more money for their higher education teaching than some of the UK's longest-established and most internationally respected institutions, including the London School of Economics and the School of Oriental and African Studies.
The reason for these perhaps surprising allocations is volume - further education colleges now deliver higher education en masse, with the largest colleges expanding their provision every year. Public money has been carefully distributed by Hefce to plug the gaps in higher education, gaps that are becoming more apparent in light of the Government's commitment to widening participation and the Leitch skills agenda.
Blackburn College, which is one of the few providers of higher education in the East Lancashire region, pocketed more than £9 million in the recent allocation. With a population of 500,000 and no university, the area is a virtual higher education vacuum. According to Ian Clinton, the principal, Blackburn College is filling that gap. Hefce's concern about the lack of provision of higher education in the area led it to support the expansion of the college, which expects to pick up a further £1.5 million next year.
"It gives us a green light to work with business and the community," Clinton says. "There is a cultural 'East Lancashire' feel about the place, which tends to mean there is a certain allegiance. People are quite conservative, so they tend to go local."
There can be no doubt that colleges such as Blackburn are now playing a major role in the delivery of higher education. The college hosts courses for almost 3,000 higher education students, and a new £14 million building will offer a dedicated space for higher education on the town centre campus from September. Up to 30 new courses will be launched this year, including journalism, graphic design and sports development, adding to a curriculum that already offers "everything from a foundation degree in the environment through to an MBA", Clinton notes. To accommodate the expansion, the college has created a new University Centre to host all of this activity.
Blackburn's degree programmes are validated by Lancaster University, one of the geographically closest mainstream institutions, but still a good 30 miles from the city. Clinton believes the growing popularity of his institution can partly be attributed to Lancaster's strong academic reputation. "We have the advantage of their quality seal of approval," he explains.
Unlike research funding, teaching funding from Hefce is based on volume and demand, rather than any assessment of the quality of delivery.
A spokesman for Hefce says that the growth in demand at these institutions is attributable largely to the widening-participation agenda. Further education colleges offer a quite different experience of higher education, he notes, and one that may suit many students better than traditional university life. "It's not that higher education institutions aren't doing an awful lot of work, but in some parts of the country the further education colleges are playing a very important role. There are certain types of students for whom delivery in a further education college is more accessible."
Indeed, Blackburn, like other colleges, is well suited to those who wish to study locally and wants lots of personal support.
"We have many Asian-heritage students and quite a lot of Muslim students. Many Asian parents are very concerned about their children, particularly girls, going to university and getting exposed to Western 'sins' such as the drinking culture. They are quite protective, and the idea of a local college providing higher education is very attractive," says Clinton.
Blackpool and The Fylde College, which took away £8 million in Hefce's funding allocations, is equally open about its role as a widening-participation institution. "Sometimes we are better at nurturing potential in individuals who may have come to us not believing that they could aspire to achieving a degree. That's what colleges do well," says Pauline Waterhouse, principal and chief executive of the college. "We are especially strong on supporting our learners. Many colleges have outstanding levels of student support. We are used to having to do that, and we tend to recruit from some of the most disadvantaged and deprived communities."
Like Blackburn, Blackpool has its degrees validated by Lancaster, and has developed a £10 million higher education campus, set to open in September, in the centre of town. "It's right to say that we're moving towards trying to achieve the Government's target for far higher numbers of people participating in higher education. There is certainly an expanding role for further education colleges who can deliver on that."
Waterhouse says the size of the Hefce allocation for teaching in further education colleges means the provision is there for everyone who needs it, and it will help the Government to hit its targets.
But although this year's Hefce allocations paint a picture of a changing higher education sector, further education colleges' role in delivering a different kind of higher education is not entirely new. "This isn't something that has suddenly happened," says Waterhouse. "My college has a long and distinguished track record of engagement in higher education, going back a good 15 years."
But that record is focused on vocational education, the market in which the further education sector truly has the edge. "Colleges delivering higher education have a very distinctive mission - a vocational one," Waterhouse says. "We are specialists, working very closely with employers and responding to their needs for training their workforce."
Blackpool and The Fylde College also provides bespoke courses; it has designed a degree in project management for local employer BAE Systems and is working with North Lancashire Primary Care Trust to develop leaders and managers for the National Health Service. "We are in a remarkable position to know what employers want. The relationship is a very close and personal one," Waterhouse adds.
To some this may seem less like higher education and more like on-the-job training, but Hefce is keen to ensure that further education colleges seeking to expand into the higher education market can offer something unique. All colleges have been asked to submit a higher education strategy to the funding council by January 2010, in which they must explain the "context" for their higher education offering, including how their work fits with nearby universities and institutions. A recent Hefce policy document on supporting higher education within further education colleges also focused on the need for "high-level skills" and on the potential for new forms of higher education to improve the skills of the nation's workforce.
John Widdowson, chair of the Mixed Economy Group of colleges and principal of New College Durham, says the role colleges play in working to meet employers' needs has facilitated their rapid expansion in the higher education market.
They boast a "distinctive offer", he says, "because of our close links with employers and because of the progression we can offer at a local level. Bigger institutions have different objectives. Colleges have always filled that gap. The funding follows success in the sense that where colleges have been able to expand and increase their offer, then the methodology recognises that and the funding follows it. It's all about responding to demand. Our college wouldn't have that funding if it hadn't got the students."
The members of the Mixed Economy Group are confident about their future, Widdowson says. "I wouldn't underestimate the value of working at a local level. I think that in the future there will be an even greater need for higher-level skills, and we're in a good position to respond to that. We have got that experience of what happens in the vocational curriculum. We know a lot of employers' needs at a local level. This is diversity made manifest," Widdowson concludes.
Newcastle College is the perhaps the most visible manifestation of the new higher education sector that Widdowson describes. It was granted more than £11 million in teaching funding by Hefce and offers a wide spectrum of courses, including 60 different foundation degrees.
John Rowe, director of higher education at the college, says its commitment to the vocational pathway, and to the foundation degree, marks it out. It has now developed a new vocational honours degree, for which some of the learning outcomes can be achieved only in the world of work. This offers a genuinely vocational undergraduate degree.
"We are in close proximity to three universities - four if you include Durham. We have tried not to replicate the kind of provision that exists in those universities," Rowe explains. "What makes the difference is the distinctiveness of the tradition. We have made the provision as vocationally orientated as possible."
His overall message is that post-Leitch, no one institution type has a monopoly on higher education. "One of the difficulties is in people understanding what it is that each aspect of the sector does and what positive contribution each aspect can make."
Further education colleges seem to be delivering the goods, both for the Government in meeting the Leitch agenda and for a new breed of students who relish the opportunity to study locally, vocationally and under a more intensive form of tutoring. Although they have not long been included in the National Student Survey, further education colleges are seeing positive early results. Students in the college environment say they feel supported and cared for.
Nevertheless, not everyone is so excited by the changes in the higher education sector. The University and College Union (UCU) is worried about the Government delivering higher education on the cheap, getting more for less by using staff who are under-resourced and under-trained. The UCU says further education lecturers delivering higher education are not receiving an equal wage for equal work. "For quality higher education to be delivered in further education colleges, staff need to be able to update their skills and subject knowledge as and when required," says Sally Hunt, general secretary of the UCU. "It is also vital that we recognise the need for a higher education ethos where that level of education is being delivered."
What form this ethos should take is difficult to say, especially as further education colleges have developed what one union member calls a "different kind of higher education". He also warns that without more coherent pay and benefits across all higher education institutions, further education colleges are at risk of losing their best staff to the post-1992 universities, leading to an unsustainable higher education sector within colleges.
Research carried out by Gareth Parry, professor of education at the University of Sheffield, indicates that Hefce policy is aimed at rationalisation. He says there are 180,000 higher education students in further education and this volume of activity has not changed much over the past decade, despite government attempts to see more growth in this area of the sector.
What has changed, and what the Hefce allocations illustrate, is that this delivery is taking place in a smaller number of increasingly large further education institutions. "A minority of further education colleges have sizeable numbers of higher education students while the majority have small amounts of provision. Some individual colleges have increased their numbers over this period."
Parry says Hefce's call for new higher education strategies by 2010 is all about increasing direct funding for higher education teaching while eliminating inefficient, small-scale provision by getting colleges to think strategically about what they deliver and who their competitors are.
"Government policy since the Dearing inquiry, and especially following the introduction of foundation degrees, has been to change the pattern of future demand for, and supply of, undergraduate education ... away from the bachelors degree and towards short-cycle and short-order forms of work-focused higher education. Where Dearing expected the colleges to be the main vehicles for this shift, the focus is now on the foundation degree - taught by higher education institutions and by further education colleges - as the primary instrument to lead this experiment," he says.
But while colleges are expected to deliver an increasingly demanding curriculum of vocational qualifications, Parry says they do not have the support they need and are at risk. "No policy or long-term strategy has been announced for college-based higher education, and there is no national body to guide their development. Instead, colleges are expected to collaborate and compete in some of the same markets for students. This has made for weak co-ordination at national level and instability at local level," he says.
Perhaps it is because there is no such government strategy on the role of further education colleges that Universities UK is yet to develop a policy on the issue. Although many colleges received more teaching funding than some of UUK's members, vice-chancellors have yet to put forward a joint view on the growth of the further education sector and have not been briefed on the matter by the umbrella group itself.
Among the higher education institutions that took away smaller sums for teaching than many further education colleges, the LSE was unwilling to comment on its level of funding, but both Soas and the University of Chichester were forthcoming and positive.
A spokeswoman for Soas found the allocations "not very surprising".
"We are a small, specialist, research-intensive university with a very high proportion of postgraduates and overseas students," she says. "The Government perhaps does not see higher education in further education as delivering higher education on the cheap, but rather as one way of meeting some of their goals for higher education."
Sandra Jowett, pro vice-chancellor for research, employer and community relations at Chichester, says she is unconcerned about the picture painted by the allocations. "Clearly the whole further and higher education sector is very diverse. There are many very different types of institutions. We are a small university, and there are some bigger organisations whose figures do appear large compared with ours ... but we still wouldn't see that as a concern."
All this leaves a complex picture of an evolving, and increasingly large, higher education sector. At Newcastle College, John Rowe admits that higher education is becoming ever more complicated as a sector and that there are attempts to give mixed-economy colleges a name or badge to describe their work more clearly.
"I think people are struggling to call it something," he says. "Polytechnic tends to be the closest to what people understand; the higher-level vocational qualifications fit more comfortably under that banner."
At Blackburn College, Ian Clinton agrees. "I could see the polytechnic model coming back," he adds.
But what does it mean to attend a "new polytechnic"? It potentially marks students out as different from those who study at a university, be it pre- or post-1992. "The qualifications that people achieve with us are different from the type of qualification they might achieve through an academic route in a university. But they have as much credibility in the marketplace. They're not perceived as second best," Rowe says.
Widdowson has heard both the terms "new polytechnic" and "community college" - drawing a comparison to the North American community college model - used regularly.
"In some ways I prefer the second one. The role of the community college is well established and it's seen as a major one in the higher education system," he says. But the term "polytechnic", too, has its advantages. "If it describes high-quality vocational education that responds to skills needs in the local and regional economy, then I don't have a problem with that word. But there is a difficulty in that it's attached to other institutions that no longer exist," he says.
Nevertheless, Widdowson hopes that policymakers will spend more time discussing the importance of the growing role of further education, rather than wasting time on semantics.
"The word is less important than the function. We can talk about what label we attach to it later."
The view of further education colleges as the minnows in the higher education pond is now more outdated than ever.
Hull College has seen a 56 per cent growth in its higher education market between 2005-06 and 2008-09. It now has more than 1,000 students in higher education, full and part time, across three campuses. It has an annual turnover of £65 million and received more than £6 million in teaching funding from the Higher Education Funding Council for England this year.
"We have a very successful college in all areas that we serve, because we understand the markets we serve." says Elaine McMahon, chief executive and principal of the college. "We serve our community. We have a clear widening-access agenda."
With Leeds Metropolitan University as its validating institution, Hull, like many other colleges, is expanding its higher education curriculum. It is focusing on students who are looking for personalised learning and a lot of support, and who are familiar and comfortable with the college environment.
"Learners have to have a good deal. They have to have a quality experience," McMahon says.
Many of the further education colleges offering higher education are focusing on delivering foundation degrees, and much of the money allocated by the funding council for teaching is likely to be directed towards these qualifications.
In the 2008-09 academic year, 87,500 students were working towards foundation degrees; it is hoped that the Government's target to enrol 100,000 people on these courses will be reached next year, rather than in 2010-11 as originally planned.
According to Derek Longhurst, chief executive of Foundation Degree Forward, the recession has contributed to the popularity of the qualification. "We have found that many of the larger employers still see investment in foundation degrees as a way of upskilling and reskilling their workforce in order to retain them and ensure that they are more competitive coming out of the recession," he says.
Foundation degrees are also exempt from the Government's controversial decision to withdraw student funding for second or equivalent higher education qualifications, meaning that they are affordable and attractive to mature students returning to education.
But Longhurst says that despite the popularity of the degree in further education colleges, its real growth has actually taken place within universities. In the past year, The Open University has increased the number of its foundation degree students by a third, and more than 90 per cent of post-1992 universities offered foundation degrees. In fact, 55 per cent of part-time foundation degrees are delivered in universities.

text: It's easy to see how Matt Hoover got fat: This is a guy who once ate 89 Buffalo wings at a sitting. But how—and how fast—he slimmed down almost defies belief. In just eight months, Hoover shed 157 lbs. (and countless on-camera tears) to become the second $250,000 winner of NBC's reality weight-loss competition, The Biggest Loser. "I won't be at a bar celebrating or at the buffet," says Hoover, who lost 109 lbs. during the show's 12-week camp, then the last 48 on his own. Though he once lost a whopping 26 lbs. in a week, Hoover suffered an inauspicious beginning on the show: After the first calisthenics session with trainer Jillian Michaels, he was the one hurling in the bushes. Later, the 5'10" big man wept as he told how he regretted letting his once-athletic body get so fat. A varsity wrestler at the University of Iowa, Hoover, 29, once hoped to go to the Olympics, but knee injuries killed his dream—and contributed to his obesity. Now a college wrestling coach, this slimmer Hoover has earned the respect of his charges. "When I was up around 350, how could I tell somebody, 'Hey, you're 10 lbs. over. Get this off!'" With his winnings, Hoover, who lives near Des Moines, says he'll pay off his student loans and buy a waterskiing boat. He might also think about investing in some new clothes, as his old size-46-waist pants are hanging in his garage like yards of khaki wallpaper. "Every night I look up at those pants," says Hoover. "I won't ever get that big again."

"Look here," G.B. Shaw once gently chaffed his friend and debating partner G.K. Chesterton, "Is there really a Distributist League, or is it merely Titterton running in and out with a flag?"
Shaw was referring to W.R. Titterton, the de facto organizer of the League, who once described their meetings thusly:
"The formal business of the [Distributist] League was followed by after-meetings in the general bar of the Devereux, where an account by one of the members describes pint pots banging on the tables and members 'shouting texts of St. Thomas at each other, calling on the people of England for the overthrow of their taskmasters, and a return to the religion of their forefathers.'"
The worthy Titterton continues: "There was also much singing. I have always regarded this singing as an essential part of Distributism." (The quotes are from Race Matthews' excellent Jobs of Our Own.)
The best thinking ever done on Distributism, according to no less a witness than Dorothy Day herself, was the little book by Harold Robbins (no, not the pot-boiler novelist), The Sun of Justice, available for a mere three doubloons on your Kindle.
Robbins, an activist editor and key figure in the history of distributism in England, wrote his short treatise on the Catholic meaning of social justice in 1938. He stated, "If Charity, the greatest of Christian virtues, is not emphasized in this book, it is not because its necessity to human welfare is not realized. It is because in logic, if not in time, there can be no Charity until Justice has been granted or achieved."
His table of contents gives a hint of Robbins' aim at communicating the vision and structure behind distributist ideas: chapters include The Person, The Family, Work and the Machine, Finance and Commerce, Self-Sufficiency and the Land.
Further, Robbins has a talent for putting things succinctly: "The heresy of necessary progress finds no echo in the Church…The world forces man into the mould or template of fashion. The Church uses man as the master-mould."
Most interesting to me is Robbins' elucidation of the link between Distributist ideas and Personalism. "The majestic Catholic conception of the Common Good arises naturally from the concept of Personality. As Maritain says…'A Personality as such aspires naturally to the social life; it is a whole which seeks to be united to other wholes in spiritual exchanges of intellect and of will.'"
He also quotes favorably the scientist Alexis Carrel: "The development of human personality is the ultimate purpose of civilization."
A few other gems from Robbins:
- "…The idea of the Home involves the idea of the Homestead."
- On the Living Wage: "It is clear, therefore, that…wages under Industrialism…should be not only sufficient for the reasonable comfort of the family, but should permit of saving to acquire property."
- On Guilds: "The larger and wider association never supplants the smaller and more intimate one."
- A quote from Pope Leo XIII on the infotainment society: "If any there are who pretend differently—who hold out to a hard-pressed people the boon of freedom from pain and trouble, an undisturbed repose, and constant enjoyment—they delude the people and impose upon them, and their lying promises will only one day bring forth evils worse than the present." (Rerum Novarum)
- Industrialism "affronts Catholic principles by making impossible personal control of the necessary minimum of things."
- "…All human operations, and even the tokens of operations, should be anchored to the sanity of natural things."
- "We must oppose the modern tendency to reestablish slavery."
- "Finally, I will not accept that the task is impossible. To repeat a principle I have used many times, it is incumbent upon anyone who believes in God to hold that if a thing ought to be done, it can be done."
Highly recommended.

Some More Of My New Items Arrived!!
Happy Saturday! I received my shipment of supplies that I was telling you about in my last post. I have been trying to take photos in between all of the thunderstorms we have been having. I'm so excited about getting these soaps in my shop! I bought the buttons for decorations for my studio and thought they would be perfect for my shop. Then when I saw the Fruit Loop Bowl of course I had to get that one too!
I just love this beautiful lace it is a pale pink color. The swags are what really got me I have always loved the swag design.
I added new Halloween trims too this is just a sample of some of the trims that I listed in my shop.
This is such a pretty Christmas trim I love the gold glittery look!
Yummy Grosgrain this reminded me of chocolate covered cherries hence the name!
I am still waiting on my new glitter colors to arrive they should be in later in the week. I hope you all have a lovely weekend!! God bless!!!

Alhamdulilah, Ramadan has arrived but despite all the preparations I still felt unprepared at first. Getting towards the end of the first week though, I feel like I've found my stride and finding it to be quite productive for myself and for Jana.
Today I wanted to share with you an activity I prepared for Jana to do this month. I basically bought this pack from Silver Envelope here in Doha but this can also be handmade at home using materials you already have.
Aim: This should keep your child engaged and interested whilst teaching them a bit about Ramadan. Depending on their ages you can add various notes inside these pouches for everyday. It could be as simple as smile at everyone you see today – smiling is charity! If you wanted to teach your child smaller duas or surahs you could add that for the day instead to keep their interest.
I've made a list of the things I've put into my Calender to give you some ideas, inshallah hope this benefits both you and your child.
How it works: this pack comes with a Calender, paper bags, string, pegs and stickers. The Calender has numbered squares and the stickers are also numbered. I've sorted them into the bags numbered by the days of Ramadan so each day Jana takes a bag and puts a sticker on the chart. I've also written and cut out things for her to do and added seperately to these bags.
Then we read the card together to see the activity to do for that day. According to the activity you can decide when to do them.
This can be a way to teach your child to be patient! My little one is super impatient and wants to put all the stickers on but so far we've managed to hold back from that urge and wait till the mornings to open a new bag!
This is the list that I made for our Calender:
1 make moonlight binoculars
2 bake Ramadan cookies
3 build a masjid with blocks
4 make a moon collage
5 read a Ramadan story
6 give someone a hug
7 plant some seeds
8 recite the kalma
9 make a play dough moon
10 visit children at the orphanage
11 meet your neighbours
12 help mummy in kitchen
13 make dhikr beads
14 write a thank u letter to someone you love
15 say hello to everyone
16 write a thank u note for your librarian
17 smile at everyone
18 give flowers to someone
19 donate money from charity box
20 Do dua for parents
21 visit sick at the hospital
22 make handmade Ramadan gift
23 make Ramadan treats
24 make a care package
25 make an eid decor chain
26 make a list of people you are thankful for
27 make eid cards
28 put up eid lights
29 bake eid cookies or cake
30 have fun with henna
You can also add treats or small toys to the bag for even smaller children.

So. Let me get this right.
1. The country is in the depth of an historic recession
2. Unemployment has passed the 2 million mark
3. Unemployment is widely predicted to hit over 3 million by the year end
4. After profligate spending by Gordy the country is teetering on technical bankruptcy
5. Many independent economists are predicting we are likely to need a bailout from the IMF
At this very moment, the teaching unions, after 12 years of bumper pay rises under NuLab and with their final salary pensions intact unlike the private sector, pass a motion at their conference demanding a 10% pay rise.
Should this quite awe-inspiring utter dislocation from reality not disbar you from being a teacher?

Mad Teachers
Posted by Melvin Cragsbury (a pseudonym) at 10:30 am
1 comment:
Having dealt with teaching unions, they tend to fight for what they think teachers want rather than what teachers actually want (not that teachers would say no to a 10% pay rise), but the majority of teachers are realistic and are not expecting 10%, especially in today's economic climate. Maybe the title should have been 'Mad Unionists'.

Stitch Maynia - Medieval Maiden
I fell in love with this piece when I first saw it but had to wait for the chart pack to get it. She and the other ladies in this collection are just gorgeous, I fully plan on stitching them all! Here is where I got to yesterday:
Darn late time of taking the pic and poor lighting, this picture does not remotely do the fabric I'm doing this on justice. It's a 32 Jobelan in Sailor's Delight from Hand Dyed Fabrics by Stephanie and it's just gorgeous! I must admit, I was reluctant to put this away, but that just gives me something to look forward to when it comes up in the rotation!
Until next time!

Driver for the CDC ECM/RMNET USB Ethernet control module
io-pkt-variant -d ecmplus ...
where variant is v4-hc or v6-hc.
QNX Neutrino
The devnp-ecmplus.so driver manages the CDC ECM USB Ethernet control module. Its interface names are in the form ecmX, where X is an integer.
Launcher applications that get notifications of device insertions and removals can use the busnum and devnum options. These applications mount the DLL to target specific devices connected to the USB. When the device is removed, it is expected that the launcher will also unmount the interface associated with interface. For io-pkt* drivers, you can't use umount to unload the DLL, but you can use ifconfig's destroy command to unload DLL.
The driver provides an additional interface serecmX under /dev for AT commands or vendor-specific commands, such as Qualcomm QMI messages. You can send commands and receive responses through this interface.
Some devices support hardware checksums, although some might do so in only one direction; to determine if your device does, type:
ifconfig ecmX
and look for the following in the list of supported options:
You can then use ifconfig to enable or disable whichever of these options your device supports.
Start the v4 TCP/IP variant of io-pkt using the devnp-ecmplus.so driver:
io-pkt-v4-hc -d ecmplus verbose -ptcpip ifconfig ecm0 10.184
Unload the DLL:
ifconfig ecm0 down ifconfig ecm0 destroy

Take a seat. (One for the veggies)
by justbekozlowski
Take a seat at the veggie table,
We eat with the rabbits and dine in a stable.
The horses cook,
The pigs wash up,
And the chickens pour more wine in your cup.
Take a seat at the veggie table,
All the animals are smiling; alive and able.
We are all
Just what we eat,
So we're turning green from a lack of meat.
Take a seat and offer to help,
The cows aren't great at catching kelp,
If we all took a seat
A few days a week,
The air would be cleaner on every street.
Taking a seat is all that it takes,
To help slow the icebergs, becoming great lakes,
Veggies aren't boring
When you understand how,
Not every meal needs another dead cow.

I'm still playing with Deep Dream today and I can't seem to put it down. I am considering feeding imagery back into the program to enhance the chaos further but I'm also playing with new images to see what's possible.
This result particularly disturbs me. I found a cracked mirror on a pavement yesterday whilst out walking. I took an obscure selfie and fed the photograph directly into Deep Dream. The original bare legs seem to have been transformed into a naked torso. Meanwhile my hands and torso are now some kind of dog gas mask. The original photograph is uncomfortable but the transformation is just surreal. I feel like I'm looking at some sort of post-apocalyptic dream world where peacocks and spaniels are king and reptilian neckties are the latest fashion.
I'm not sure whether Deep Dream is of the same importance as Mandelbrot or the start of something more sinister. Is this the start of artificial sentience or just a clever tool? One day will it will rise up and conquer the earth. The future will be interesting whichever way it turns out.
I can't stop looking.

This all opens up to the spacious residing space where you will discover the website Television complete with Nintendo and $9.ninety five movies. The couch pulls out into a mattress also. But like, don't. Heh. Since there was no Television in the bedroom and we like to lounge about and sorta view Tv now and then, we pulled it out and unintentionally fell asleep on it one evening. Oh the creaks and moans the next early morning! That mattress is like most pullouts. thin and lumpy. It was good, though, waking up to the open sliding glass doorways and seeing the sunlight come up.
Cleaning your house ought to not be something you get stressed over. If you are very busy, you should find a good home cleansing business or housekeeper.

Dr. Ben Carson at It Again
Posted by Steve Markowitz on March 16, 2013
Dr. Benjamin Carson, chief neurosurgeon at Johns Hopkins Hospital, garnered a national attention earlier this year when he lectured Pres. Barack Obama and his fellow Leftists at the National Prayer Breakfast. That was the subject of this Blog posting of February 8 titled Dr. Benjamin Carson Lectures Washington at National Prayer Breakfast. This week the good Doctor was at it again making a 24 minute presentation at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC).
In his concluding comments, Dr. Carson said: "It is only the political class that that derives its power by creating friction. It is only the media that derives its importance by creating friction, that uses every little thing to create this chasm between people. This is not who we are. We have much more in common with each other than we have apart."
It is evident that Dr. Carson has bigger future plans than merely garnering national media attention. As a man of color with Conservative political and Constitutional views, the Left already views Carson as particularly dangerous to their future aspirations and power. It is likely that Carson will be viciously attacked, as have other African-Americans and women who has preceded him and dared to attack Leftist dogma. Given Carson's experiences and intelligence, he is likely up for the task.

Greetings Blog Readers...
First I owe you a HUGE apology for dropping of the face of the web for so long. I hate to admit this, but I was feeling bitter after the Haunted Mansion 40th fiasco and decided to have a month long tantrum. I didn't want to look at my stuff, which was easy since a lot of the collection was still in boxes. I didn't want to discuss the Haunted Mansion because the estrogen in my body would cause me to cry like a girly girl at the mention of Grim Grinning Ghosts or the like. I just wanted to sulk, which I did, but I don't feel any better for it, and now I have guilt for not posting so long. So, I am done with my tantrum, and will stop sulking and pouting and crying, well...sorry, I'm a sensitive girly girl and this girl just has to cry every now and then. Forgive me readers for my poor behavior.
I also owe you a HUGE thank you for emails popping up in my inbox as of late asking about my whereabouts and posts. You really know how to make this bratty, sensitive girly girl feel much better. Sincerely, I thank you for your concern.
Yesterday, I pulled out some collectibles and actually started to feel better, so much so, that I redecorated my master bath with our Lenticular collection. I felt like I was visiting old friends. Today I will be hanging up my Duelist portraits in the master bedroom, where most of our collection seems to be ending up. All the little pieces are still in boxes, but I'll be paying them a visit soon, and getting reacquainted. Once the bedroom and bath are completed, I'll share some pics.
Since blog posts are always more interesting with pictures, here are some pictures of the Duelists that I'll be hanging later today. I had these framed by a local framer here in So. Cal by the name of Link, who does amazing work. Check out his site here.

I`d like to share a blog post I read today at KORA ORGANICS on lightening one's "emotional load". She likens our emotional baggage to actual bags whilst travelling, and how much freer we could feel with less bags (bags meaning our emotional load of course).
I am truly a believer in the power of thought. Our thoughts determine our emotions and our bodies react to our thoughts on many many levels. I believe we all hold on to un-dealt-with emotions in a variety of ways. Shonagh shares SIX TIPS on lightening your emotional load, and I couldn`t agree more! I must say that they are easier said than done, but with daily practice it can make a world of difference in your life! I`ll share more of my own thoughts after the article, enjoy!
Lighten Your Load (by Shonagh Walker)
A friend of mine just travelled the world with just one tiny carry on bag. She went to five different countries over the course of one month. She said she skipped from plane to plane, without a care in the world. What a perfect summer vacation!
I'm the opposite kind of traveler. I take two suitcases and fill them with plenty of ski clothes (my vacations are usually at the snow), lovely coats and shoes, cosmetics, plus plenty of room for shopping.
By the end of my travels, I am exhausted. The suitcases are inevitably shabby and broken, with wheels groaning under their weight, and I've typically strained a muscle or two, lugging them on and off the baggage carousel at various airports.
Think of your life as a trip, and your suitcases as your thoughts and emotions. Do you want to carry around that neat little carry on case, that allows you to skip happily from destination to destination, free from cares and troubles? Or do you want to lug around heavy, broken and debilitating cases that slow your journey and exhaust you?
I know which one I'd prefer. It's not always that easy though, is it? There are some ways you can lighten your emotional load, though.
Here are a few tips.
1. Learn to Forgive
Forgiveness they say is not about the person who wronged you. It's about your healing and healthy emotional being. While it is not always easy, we should learn to forgive. If you don't, the anger and resentment can build up inside you and can weigh down your thoughts and emotions. You risk becoming a bitter and negative person. You don't necessarily have to accept that person back into your life, but you can send them blessings and let the incident go.
2. Practice Gratitude
If you're ever feeling like the load is too much to bear, that the world is weighing you down, or the sadness in your life is overwhelming, try to make a list of all the great tings you have. Better still keep a gratitude journal. Write in it each day, and list all the things – big or small – that make you happy. It could be as small as, "I am grateful that the sun is shining today," to as big as, "I am grateful for the family and friends that love me and the health that I enjoy".
3. Remember how much you have
The other day, I started eating my lunch and realised I was using the fork with the dodgy tine. It sticks up, out of alignment with the other two tines, and is uncomfortable in my mouth when I take a bite. I was about to throw it out, when I realised just how blessed I am that I actually have food. And even more so to have clean utensils with which to eat it. I sent out a prayer of gratitude and sent blessings to the millions of people around the world who are hungry, not just at that moment, but all the time. If you are feeling overburdened, go to the sink, turn on your tap and pour a glass of water. Remember how free and luck you are to be able to do that. Millions in this world do not have access to clean water.
4. Throw away negative thoughts
Worry and stress only add to your load. They don't lighten it. And they sure don't help solve problems. If you are faced with a problem that seems insurmountable, dissect it and tackle it one small step at a time. Use your energy wisely – don't exhaust yourself worrying, instead, plan a strategy to make the problem disappear. Remember too, that every problem or obstacles, represents an opportunity to grow!
5. Always look for the good in any situation
Eckhart Tolle said, "Whatever the moment contains, accept it as if you had chosen it." Wise words. Whether it is good or bad, you are in the situation. You can choose to let it overpower and overwhelm you, or you can choose to learn from it and grow. Live in that moment. Think about how your actions today shape your future. Make wise, positive and thoughtful choices. You will eventually end up where you need to be, and where you belong.
6. Share the love
Do not be afraid to compliment people, or to say sorry if you have done the wrong thing, or thank you if they have helped you out. Communication is the key to lightening your emotional load. Practice respectful, positive, thoughtful, loving and intentional conversation and you will soon see a shift in energy
My experiences with Forgiveness:
It took me a long long time to realize that Forgiveness really does equal FREEDOM. Speaking from personal experience, when we refuse to forgive (or hold grudges against another), we are actually burdening ourselves! We hold onto that anger and resentment, inside of us, this poison, our bodies will negatively react. Our bodies will react to our negative thoughts about a situation (or person) exactly the same if these thoughts were about ourselves. All the while this person we`re angry with- continues about their life, possibly not even clued in to how YOU feel. Life is too short. Let it go. It doesn't matter if someone has really wronged you or even how. Simply drop it. Drop it like a hot potato! It is their issue, not yours anymore. Their journey. Not yours. We cannot control what others think about us or even what they do to us. And like the article said, forgiveness doesn't mean we have to keep this person in our lives. We make so many mistakes in our lifetime. We are human. A bad decision does not define us as a whole. Wouldn't you want forgiveness? I know I would :) I wouldn't say I'm an expert at dropping these feelings immediately..but it doesn't take long for me to come around, practice makes perfect :)
On Gratitude: I am a big fan of owning an "attitude of gratitude" and I've mentioned Gratitude in this blog before. A gratitude journal is life changing. It's easy to list things we're un-grateful for, but you know what's more fun? Being grateful for all that I have, and excitement for what is coming :)
#5 is also very special to me as Eckhart Tolle is one of my "mentors" (for lack of a better word). For more on him checkout my tab called "The Power of Now". I should definitely add more to that label!
And of course, on Sharing the Love, one of my latest favourite mantras these days when I'm faced with an uncomfortable situation is "I choose Love" I got it from one of the Chopra meditations, and I -well- love it haha.
I work at all of the above every day, I am slowly changing my thought patterns. Some days, moments, weeks, are harder than others, but this is always my intent. And I do see the change. I am getting better at acknowledging my emotions, questioning them, and turning around my mood.
"Every day I wake up, I choose Love, I choose Light"

Network Rail has said it is 'extremely disappointed' after Lewes District Council's planning committee rejected its proposals to replace the traditional Plumpton level crossing gates with an automatic barrier.
The company has also said the road closures currently in place will remain so until the level crossing is safe to open.
A Network Rail spokesperson said: "Network Rail is extremely disappointed that Lewes District Council has not approved our plans to upgrade the crossing in Plumpton.
"We estimate that the £2million investment plan to replace the signaller-operated crossing with a new full barrier would have made the crossing 63 per cent safer.
"Network Rail is committed to making the railway as safe, reliable and efficient as possible and our plans for Plumpton are part of a national move to improve level crossing safety.
"Network Rail always tries to minimise the impact that our Railway Upgrade Plan has on both the passengers that use our network and also the community that surrounds it.
"However, as we now need to change our plans and approach to the project, road closures will now remain in place for longer, until the level crossing is complete and safe to open."
"We have taken many factors into consideration in making the decision to renew this Level Crossing. This includes current levels of Level Crossing failure, safety concerns at the crossing which in part relate to the volume of traffic, particularly on Plumpton Racecourse race days.
"Network Rail commissioned an independent study into the feasibility of upgrading the existing gates and it concluded that this was not a viable option. The current technology dates back to the 19th century and we will be replacing it with 21st century technology which is safer and more reliable."
"The crossing gates, signalbox and curtilage of the crossing are Grade II listed. We have held discussions with the local Parish Council and residents about what they would like to do with them.
"The agreement is to donate the gates and associated equipment to the East Kent Railway based at Sheperdswell in Kent.
"The signalbox will remain in situ and will continue to contain all its original features albeit not in working order. The signalbox itself will continue to be maintained by Network Rail."

Why is it that we are attracted to the things that we know will kill us?
It's the picture of a moth circling around a lightbulb. All the moth wants in life is that light bulb. He circles it for hours on end, until he finally gathers the gall to fly right into it. Maybe he survives the first time, so he tries a couple more times. Maybe he still survives, after all, he has a high pain tolerance. The next night, he tries again. This time he only lets the light tempt him for a couple of minutes, then flies straight for it — and dies.
So it is with man and sin.
We get as close as we can to the line, until we no longer have the resolve to stay away from it. We go for it. Go all in. Say screw it. It felt good in the moment.
"For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit." – Romans 8:5
"We know that everyone who has been born of God does not keep on sinning, but he who was born of God protects him, and the evil one does not touch him." – 1 John 5:18
We're called to be people without sin. We're called to live according to the Spirit, and put to death the deeds of the flesh.
If you keep messing with that sin, it will kill you. Don't give it the chance. Do what you know is right, and destroy the work of the Enemy in your life.
P.s. – We all struggle, and are going to struggle. But sinning is not something that you have to do. You can overcome it. I can overcome it. We can overcome it. And we must overcome it if we want to walk in power.
Remember, even if you screw up, which you will, "There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death." – Romans 8:1

REAL WEDDINGS: A Ffabulous Fforest wedding campTweet
In Green Unions, Real Weddings, Wedding Venues
Image: Aga Tomaszek
The lovely people at Fforest told me about a wedding they hosted last Autumn and when I asked what was special about the place this is what they said:
"Fforest is a place of magic at any time of the year. Spring and autumn are our personal favourites. Photographers often talk about the 'golden hour', the time of the day when the sun begins to dip and casts a magical soft golden glow. Autumn is the golden hour of the fforest year. Lower light and soft hues of red orange and gold in the landscape all around. Faint woodsmoke hanging in the air. We call it 'glowtime'. A little chill later in the evening maybe, but a time for gathering together in our tiny 200 year old pub, in our newly restored listed farmhouse and cosying up around roaring fires, with family and the best of friends."
Chloe and Dafydd's wedding embodies all these things and their fabulous Autumn wedding day last October 2014, photographed by Aga Tomaszek is best described by Chloe with Aga's beautiful wedding photographs:
The Venue
We chose to get married at Fforest Camp, Cilgerran on 25th October 2014. The venue and its location were really special for numerous reasons. Dafydd and I lived in New Zealand for a couple of years and the owners of Fforest also lived there for a bit. What they have established at Fforest meant it felt like a home from home - we've been missing the Antipodes ever since we left. We lived near a huge forest in New Zealand and spent much of our free time biking and hiking there. I yearned to get married in a forest and Googled 'outdoor wedding', 'rural venues', 'forest wedding' and so on … until I found Fforest. We set a date and sent a deposit before we had even visited! Fforest was the perfect venue. We visited for the first time just after the winter storms in 2013 and I couldn't have loved it more.
The Guests
We hosted just under 100 wedding guests. Daf's family are from Wales, his Mum was born about five minutes down the road from Fforest so a fair number of her family still live in the local area. My family live in Essex so it was a bit further for them to come! A few of our New Zealand friends were able to come over for the wedding too, which was wonderful.
Did you have a Budget - Did you to Stick to it?
Well … what we thought we'd budget at the beginning and what we actually spent in the end were very different! But we were meticulous about keeping track of costs and were very fortunate to have help from both of our parents. It was a considerable expense and unsurprisingly, the majority of the costs related to feeding and sheltering everyone for the weekend. My parents chose to pay for the accommodation because they thought no one would come otherwise (camping in Wales in late Autumn). Charming!
The Atmosphere
Our (my!) main inspiration was to have a natural outdoorsy wedding, somewhere beautiful and rural. I wanted to look around and see trees, flowers and wildlife. And I love autumn – I love everything about it. We had log-fires, golden leaves, clear crisp air and cloudless starry skies - oh, and a bit of rain, after all it was October in South-West Wales.
I wanted the wedding to have plenty of personal touches – I didn't want it to feel like it could be anyone's wedding, I wanted to see parts of ourselves, our families and friends everywhere I looked.
We were able to have a legal wedding ceremony in the little Bwthyn (pub) before our humanist ceremony in the giant hat tipi. It was very personal and memorable. We had a tea party in the barn – lit by candles, with mismatched vintage tablecloths and crockery. Later, we danced to a local jive band and DJ until late…
The Eco-Elements
As I said, Fforest was the perfect venue. They have a tipi, a veggie patch, huge fire pits and wonderful old stone and slate outbuildings. They grow and make a huge amount of food themselves - granola, jams, bread, cakes, soups, pizza, salads, while almost everything else is sourced locally - honey, beers, the amazing hog roast.
The bonus is that everything happens all in one place – most of our guests stayed under canvas in domes, camp shacks and tipis (the outdoor showers drain into a reed-bed so we bought lots of green toiletries).
I tried to make as much as I possibly could for our wedding. I made and decorated our wedding cake (my favourite fruit cake recipe that I dig out every Christmas – my parents love it!). We've kept a tier that is (not so) jokingly for any future children! I made gingerbread men for the place settings – the spices are so wonderfully autumnal. I had also made some sloe gin and marmalade vodka to go with the prosecco after the ceremony (and we collected some sloes from the Fforest hedgerows on Sunday morning after the wedding to make a special anniversary vintage bottle!). Finally I enlisted my friends and the long-suffering Daf to make a few decorations for the barn.
Our other suppliers – the DJ, the band, the florist - were all local. Jill from Designer Blooms created a bouquet, tipi decorations and jam jars filled with flowers. Not knowing much about flowers (!) I asked for something natural and seasonal and loved the results.
The Invites
For the invites, I made a website and put all the information on there, but Daf was such a stick-in-the-mud he insisted that we couldn't invite everyone by email! Hmmm… In the end it was a compromise, we sent one A6 invite with the date, venue and the website address and asked everyone to RSVP online. I then sent final details by email the week before. We didn't have any printed order of service or menu cards either. It worked incredibly well.
The Outfits
I had two dresses (one for each ceremony) - I know, that wasn't a particularly eco choice! But the short white dress I wore for the legal ceremony was bought with the intention that I would be able to wear it again - hopefully for a nice anniversary dinner this year! The wedding dress was an extravagant this-is-my-one-and-only-wedding-splurge. It's all wrapped up and I'm insisting that the daughter we don't have yet will HAVE to wear it one day!
Daf bought a nice suit, his one-and-only, with the same intention that he would wear it again and again. Similarly with his groomsmen … we didn't want a theme or matching outfits, so they wore suits that they already owned. I just wanted everyone to be comfy and warm and not to have to spend too much money.
The Honeymoon
Since our friends had come all the way over to Wales from NZ we didn't fly off on a honeymoon. Instead we had a 'friendly-moon' in Snowdonia. We all went mountain-biking together, hiked the Horseshoe Trail around Snowdon, visited a local brewery, rode on the local steam train and visited Portmeirion and Bounce Below - underground trampolines in a disused slate mine!
Can you be both Stylish and Green on your Wedding Day?
It helps if your venue has eco values but even if that is not the case, there are plenty of things you can do to create a stylish green wedding.
Tips for Brides throwing a Green Wedding
Think carefully about your venue. Enlist the help of your nearest and dearest. Make every effort to shop locally and seasonally.
Special Touch
My dad plays in a 50's rock and roll band and wanted to record us a song for the wedding. I thought we would play it during the ceremony but he decided upon 'Never Can Tell' by Chuck Berry. A most suitable choice (well, apart from the 'teenage' bit!) but a little too fast for the ceremony, so we thought we'd have it as our first dance. I got a little frantic thinking 'we're terrible dancers – we can't jive!' before it struck me that it's the song John Travolta and Uma Thurman dance to - hilariously badly - in Pulp Fiction. We looked ridiculous but I couldn't imagine trying to pull off three long minutes of serious dancing so it suited us down to the ground! My dad burned us a CD and it lives in our memory box.
Fforest is a handpicked partner listed in Green Union's wedding directory under the category Venues. For more information please visit their website fforestweddings.co.uk
Now just sit back and enjoy Aga's stunning images of Chlo and Daf's ffabulous glamping wedding weekend!
Thank you so much, Chloe and Daf, for sharing your stunning wedding camp story with us all and I wish you every happiness in your future together.

Congrats on the re-design Genius team! Interesting to see the design change after being similar for so long. Curious how you guys thought about it. Jordan Crook wrote an awesome piece about it here: http://techcrunch.com/2015/08/04...-
ben WatanabeHiring@benwtnb · 96 Problems
The new landing page looks great! Is it just the mobile version that uses the white lyric/text pages too? I'm getting the old theme on lyric pages. I never realized the new logo was a negative space G before, when it was on its side. Happy to realize that you guys kept it 'G' 👊💂, maybe it was just Mahbod's commentary on Facebook on Facebook saying it looked middle eastern'esque, but always thought it was some kind of foreign language character/symbol.

This is my incredibly quick, go-to after work, healthy and simple recipe that I absolutely LOVE. Salmon is so good for you, providing essential Omega 3 fats that help your skin glow and your hair shine. This recipe will make enough for two people.
4 tbsps of Clear Honey
4 tbsps of Soy Sauce
4 tbsps Lemon Juice
1/2 tsp of Ground Ginger
4 Garlic Cloves
2 Salmon Fillets
When you want to cook your salmon place it skin side down on a dry hot pan and let it cook for 4 minutes. Then pour the rest of the marinade from the bowl on top and place the entire pan into the oven. Allow to bake for a further 8 minutes, check the salmon is a light pink all the way through before taking out.
I had mine with roasted mediterranean vegetables, balsamic vinegar and mozzerella but it's also nice with salad and pasta. Enjoy!
