Whoo, embrace the green! I love ONS.
I ended up using a glittery green franken for St. Patty's Day.
Feel better!

Man, I wish I had ONS with me now! I do think it's beautiful and chic, and that's what I love the most about it; I feel as though non-green-lovers could still wear and like it because of its off-beat versatility.

I am sorry to hear you're unwell... I wish you a speedy recovery!
I (inadvertently) ended up rocking a green mani today. I'm wearing China Glaze Tree Hugger, topped with NfuOh #38 and a Konad embellishment in Wagon Trail. I'm a little embarrassed by it.
I had been meaning to pull Tree Hugger out for a while. I bought it a year ago and had never worn it... It's just such an offensively bright green.
I liked it plain on my nails, but after three coats plus a coat (or two) of Seche Vite and all the other crap that was piled on... it's not my favourite mani. There's also something about the consistency of Tree Hugger that rubs me the wrong way.
Still... my flakies finally made an appearance so there's something.
I like your green... very classy looking.

I have a bunch of greens in my collection, but I do usually resign them to weekends. Because of St. Patty's though, I felt totally comfortable with my Jade is the New Black mani. I actually put it on last Thursday, figuring I could just say it was for St. Patty's if anybody asked (close enough), although the truth is I just couldn't wait any longer to try it out!

@hausofpolish - woo! sounds like you're sparkly and celebrating! :)
@Skulda - I love that one - I really debated doing JitNB for today too!
@Irides - I think you just described the colour better than I ever could! Thank you! Are you on vacay?
@mKat - Wowza!! I'm trying to imagine the result of that mani and failing - pics!?
@Grace - Yes! Another JitNB-er. I bet it gorgeous on you. I am not typically into green and I had fun wearing that one for my bday :) It is great to have an excuse like St. Pattys!

Orly's Enchanted Forest, topped with their prisma gloss in gold.
No one batted an eye of course, as they're used to me wearing whatever color polish I chose on any given day anyways.

I know, green polish just isn't accepted. Or orange, or yellow, or blue or anything not normal. At least in my experience.

That is a gorgeous green!

Maddux, La Russa need to pick logos for Hall
I'm sorry, but Greg Maddux and Tony La Russa have to choose. They announced Thursday that they've decided in conjunction with Baseball Hall of Fame officials not to have a logo on the cap of their bronzed plaque in Cooperstown, N.Y. Since they prospered for several teams, they said it wouldn't be fair to pick one over the other for such an honor.
I hear them. I disagree, but I hear them.
I'm sorry, but Greg Maddux and Tony La Russa have to choose. They announced Thursday that they've decided in conjunction with Baseball Hall of Fame officials not to have a logo on the cap of their bronzed plaque in Cooperstown, N.Y. Since they prospered for several teams, they said it wouldn't be fair to pick one over the other for such an honor.
I hear them. I disagree, but I hear them.
In recent times, Catfish Hunter had the same dilemma. He was among the reasons the A's formed their dynasty during the early 1970s along the way to three consecutive World Series championships. Hunter also helped push the Yankees back into prominence later that decade. Hunter said he cherished both A's owner Charlie Finley and Yanks owner George Steinbrenner, so he became one of the 86 players without a logo on his Hall of Fame cap.
Yogi Berra was another one, but it had nothing to do with his feud with Steinbrenner that kept the legendary Yankees catcher away from his old team for nearly a decade. Not only did Berra and Steinbrenner reconcile years before Steinbrenner's death in 2010, Berra was elected to Cooperstown in 1972, which was a year before Steinbrenner even purchased the Yanks.
"You have to remember that, back during that time, when Berra entered the Hall of Fame, choosing a logo for your cap wasn't that big of a deal," said Dave Kaplan, who runs the Yogi Berra Museum and Learning Center at Montclair State University in Little Falls, N.J. "If you look at Yogi's plaque, it's more of a profile, so it doesn't matter as much if his cap has a logo."
Actually, it does matter. When you say Yogi, you think pinstripes. He joins Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Joe DiMaggio and Mickey Mantle as the founding fathers of Yankees lore, which means Berra should have that interlocking "NY" on his Hall of Fame plaque to show it. As for Hunter, even though his star shined brighter after he reached Broadway via the Bronx, he got to Cooperstown through Oakland. You also can throw in Kansas City, since he spent three of his 10 years with the A's in that city before Finley moved the franchise to Northern California.
Honus Wagner. Rogers Hornsby. Johnny Mize. Nap Lajoie. They are among the others joining Berra and Hunter without a logo for their Hall of Fame cap, and they all have that distinction for various reasons.
I'm sure many are logical.
The ones that aren't? Well, either Hall of Fame officials, the inductees (if they are still living) or the representatives of anybody in Cooperstown without a logo on his cap should change the situation. If they really think about it, they'll discover that one team from a Hall of Famer's past was either greatly or slightly superior than the rest of them. Choose that one. Plus, making a definitive choice in this case is best for uniformity throughout Cooperstown.
I know, I know. Trying to rectify the past is difficult, but we have a splendid chance to affect the present and the future. Which is why I'm urging Maddux and La Russa to pick a logo for their Hall of Fame plaques between now and the time they take the stage in Cooperstown in July.
Oh, well.
"I feel good [about picking nobody]," said Maddux, talking to reporters in Arlington on Thursday between working at a pitching minicamp for the Rangers. "I spent half my career in Chicago and half my career in Atlanta. I came up a Cub, played there for six years and went back for three more. I was in Atlanta for 11 years. It comes out to about the same amount of time in both cities. Love both places. Obviously, I feel like I had more success as a Brave."
That's because Maddux did. Emphatically. After he joined the Braves before the 1993 season, he won three of his four National League Cy Young Awards. Maddux was the undisputed catalyst for an otherworldly pitching staff that will send Tom Glavine to Cooperstown this summer and possibly John Smoltz in 2015. Overall, that trio was part of a record streak of 14 division titles that produced five NL pennants and a World Series title.
You've guessed it: Maddux is more Atlanta grits than Chicago pizza. Just like La Russa is more Gateway Arch than Golden Gate Bridge, and we won't even talk about his White Sox years. Not that they weren't impressive during those eight seasons in which he began his managerial career. La Russa's Chicago teams were good, but his Oakland teams were great. In fact, the La Russa-led A's made three consecutive World Series trips through 1990, and they won it all in 1989. He also reinvented Dennis Eckersley as a closer. Now, the former Oakland starter is in Cooperstown, where La Russa is headed -- without the logo of either the White Sox or the A's on the cap of his plaque.
There should be a Cardinals logo for La Russa. Yes, his Oakland teams were great, but his St. Louis teams were greater. While La Russa won three pennants and that World Series championship with the A's, he captured three NL pennants and two Fall Classic titles with the Cards. There also was the longevity factor: He spent 10 years in Oakland compared to 16 in St. Louis.
So La Russa goes in as a Cardinal, and Maddux goes in as a Brave.
See how easy that is?

As I am sure many of you have, I have watched the video of the rockslide on U.S. Highway 64 in Tennessee over and over. It is just awesome to watch. I was super excited when I found this link that has a video (different from the one below) telling more details on the slide and how a geologist saved the day!! How awesome is that! A Geologist!! Rock on! And I was even more excited to find out it was not just a geologist, but a chick geologist - Vanessa Bateman! Ms. (Dr.?) Bateman is the Manager of the Geotechnical Section for the Tennessee Department of Transportation's (TDOT) Nashville Office (link, pictured right). She noticed that the slope (reported in the news video to be granite) along the Ocoee Gorge was going to break away (and not surprising, did you see that outcrop!), and was able to warn others to vacate the area. Less than an hours earlier reporters and construction workers with heavy equipment were in the spot where the second slide would occur. It must have been so cool to see (and probably somewhat freaky and scary!). I should add that I am really glad no one was hurt!
So, way to go Vanessa!! Awesome to save lives while also playing with rocks (and showing that there are some awesome chick geologist out there doing cool things)!

And it reminds me of this (sort of, in coolness factor):
What is your favorite mass wasting event? Someone needs to start a blog of things like this.

Not all brothels charge the exact same for their expert services. Lastly, you ought to be certain that when deciding on a brothel that you're able to acquire a completely free tour of their facility and their expert services. Brothels were divided into four classes, and all the very first and the majority of the second category of establishment could be located in the Qian Men region. Selection is something else that you will wish to consider when choosing a Melbourne brothel. Specifically, in the instance of rape, prostitutes are often scared to report, because they are also in conflict with the law. While the prostitutes are excited by the concept which they can get insurance with Obamacare they don't believe the plan is ideal.
Prostitution was the exact same. Legal prostitution is governed by the state of Nevada. Although, if you believe prostitution isn't happening close to your doorstep you're entirely erroneous. Since prostitution isn't right, legalized prostitution in Nevada must definitely be an abomination. To fully grasp why legalized prostitution is favored in Nevada, and why it just might be a viable industry in different states in the united states, we have to first understand what Nevada legalized prostitution isn't.
Men and women wish to blame porn, they never need to be responsible in any respect, she states. All legal sex acts must occur in a certified brothel located in a rural location. The more folks are having sex, the larger the chance of HIV and STD's. Sex for money is nothing but that, she states.

About this font family
I set out to design a contemporary font that is condensed with thick and thin strokes. The highly structured forms of this condensed font was made more interesting and softer by giving it a slightly calligraphic tone and by adding round corners. Atto's express purpose is to be both utilitarian, compact and technical but with a friendly face.
The name "atto" was adopted since it refers to the measurement of "smallness" or detail. You will no doubt discover all the many pleasant nuances within Atto. Adopted in 1964, "atto" comes from the Danish "atten", meaning eighteen. Atto - (symbol a) a SI prefix to an unit and means that it is 10 to the power- 18 times this unit. Examples are one attosecond or one attometer/attometre. More…
Atto is available in for Mac and Windows in Postscript, Truetype and Opentype.

Sheriff Says Questions Remain in Tom Decker Slaying
ST. CLOUD, Minn. (AP) - Stearns County Sheriff John Sanner says the investigation remains open into the slaying of Cold Spring Police Officer Tom Decker because two significant questions remain unanswered.
The Bureau of Criminal Apprehension last month said there would have been enough evidence to arrest Eric Joseph Thomes if the 31-year-old had not killed himself first. But in an interview, Sanner says investigators still haven't determined a motive for the officer's killing last November, nor have they determined whether the shooter or shooters acted alone.
Sanner says he still can't discuss specifics of the investigation. But he says the release of Ryan Larson, who was arrested the night of the shooting but never charged, shows the checks and balances built into the criminal justice system work.

Designer Profile: Ted Vadakan and Angie Myung of Poketo
Poketo Suit Totes
Who says that art isn't wearable? LA-based design studio Poketo is bringing art into the everyday with innovative, limited-edition accessories and lifestyle goods, like the recycled suit totes pictured above. Find out more about how Poketo was founded (including the story behind the brand's name), what's up next for Poketo, and how founders Ted Vadakan and Angie Myung kick back in their free time.
Describe Poketo, Twitter style.
Poketo is an LA-based design studio that creates limited edition artist-lifestyle goods based on the idea of "art for your everyday."
When was Poketo founded?
Poketo was founded by us, Ted Vadakan and Angie Myung, in 2003.
What's the story behind the launch?
As a part of the San Francisco art community I (Ted) was a filmmaker and Angie, was a graphic designer. We were always curating shows for artist friends. The shows were a lot of fun and brought tons of people together. But we noticed a problem. No one could afford to buy the art displayed. For this reason, we came up with an affordable solution to satisfy everyone's art lust. Poketo, pronounced "poh-keh-toe" got its name through Angie's grandmother's mispronunciation of the word, "pocket." And the name stuck. We created limited-edition artist wallets that were accessible and well designed so that no one would be without a piece of art of their own. Wallets were the perfect items to make. Not only were they extremely functional, but they were carried around and exposed to the public everyday. Having a Poketo wallet was like having a traveling art show with you at all times, and it still is today. The first run of wallets were very successful and sold out immediately. So Poketo made more and more. Each time discovering new artists and creating new products until Poketo evolved into what it is today, an innovator in artist-designed lifestyle wares.
Since our company was founded in 2003, Poketo has had the most amazing opportunities, collaborating with not only international artists, but also with companies like Nike, and major art institutions including the SF MoMA and De Young Museum. We've also had the rewarding experience of working with musicians that we've been loyal fans of including Arcade Fire, The Shins, Weezer, The Postal Service, and the Coachella Music Festival, as well as as a benefit fundraiser for non-profit institutions as 826LA and 826 National, founded by the writer Dave Eggers. Everyone who appreciates beautiful art should have the right to incorporate it into their lives through affordable design. With this conviction, Poketo is continuously invigorated to develop ways of making art accessible to all!
Complete the following sentences:
Spring 2010 fashion is about…
Having fun! Vibrant colors! Sunshine! Being green!
Fall 2010 fashion is about…
Being cozy and warm, experimental, being green!
Where can Omiru readers buy Poketo?
Visit our online store at www.poketo.com.
Fun Fact about Poketo?
We do a mean Karaoke set and are huge foodies!
Last words?
Around Earth Day in April, be on the look out for our newest line of 100% recycled line of bags made from street banners, used leather jackets, couches, and donated clothing! As the need for 'green' becomes a long-lasting trend in everyday living, Poketo is doing its part with these one-of-a-kind artist-designed bags where proceeds go back into the community towards environmental protection, and aiding those in need both domestically and abroad.
We are super stoked to have repurposed something that is both high in quality and part of a larger social mission to make the world a greener, friendlier place to live.

Scott caught Suzy Bogguss last spring–has it really been that long?–at his favorite haunt, the Dakota in downtown Minneapolis, and wrote about the concert here. In a word, he loved it. When he learned that Suzy would be passing nearby in October at another fun venue, the State Theatre in Zumbrota, Minnesota, an hour south of the Twin Cities, he snapped up four tickets for us and our wives, only to realize that the concert, last Friday night, was on Yom Kippur. So he missed Friday's concert, but we didn't.
I loved it too. The State, built in 1921, is a great venue with terrific acoustics. It seats five hundred or so, I suppose, and was pretty much full. We were 40 feet from the stage, and the entire evening had an intimate feel. Suzy Bogguss, if you aren't familiar with her music, was a pretty big country star around 20 years ago, with a platinum album and several gold ones, but over time she chose to pursue her own interests and has been absent from top 40 radio for a while. Her voice is still sensational–both beautiful and powerful.
Here she is a couple of years ago singing Outbound Plane, one of the hits from her commercial days, and an excellent song:
Suzy herself–believe me, after an evening with her you feel like you are on a first-name basis–is immensely likable. She is touring with two sidemen, a bass player and a guitar player. Her between-songs patter is funny and entirely normal; she talked a bit about her upcoming 25th wedding anniversary and her 16-year-old son. She comes across like your favorite neighbor, only with an insanely great voice. Currently, Suzy's main interest is preserving traditional American folk music. She mixed songs from her current album, American Folk Songbook, with her old hits and covers of great country songs like Johnny Cash's I Still Miss Someone. Someone shot this video of Suzy singing Shenandoah at Friday night's Zumbrota concert. The video isn't high quality–no offense, maryj221–but it gives an idea of how good she sounded:
After the concert, Suzy stayed around to chat with fans, sell CDs and sign copies of the book that goes with her American folk album. It was a very fun evening. Finally, purely as a bonus, here is a young Suzy singing Someday Soon:

Taking them this week, so I figured I'd post a "sample" of the kinds of questions we seem to get, and a pic of my response...
A middle-aged National Guard veteran and part time pig farmer in the San Joaquin Valley, recently back from serving in the middle east, decides he's going to take his children, pet cats, and his ol' beagle on a raspberry picking trip in Guatamala. He leaves one morning after a night of heavy drinking with just some old bread and rare steak to tide him over. He shoos off some pigeons waves goodbye to his prize rosebushes as he gets in his DeLorean and heads to the daycare to get his kids. After taking off his nice shoes he retreives his children from the sandbox and they head to the airport. After landing, he quenches his thirst at a local water fountain and they head out to the Berry farm, which is next to a large forest that's being harvested. Sadly, because of the dust in the air, he is forced to whip up some contact solution using local water so that he can see. Being the troopers they are, they spend the night in the bush, sleeping deepest between 10 and 2, wearing only in shorts because of the heat. Finally, they have a breakfast of crab and watercress before heading back to the USA. Along the way they visit their uncle JB in the Appalacians where they have a tasty meal of fresh bear. After returning home, they each sneeze once. What color do I think his car is? Choose the answer that BEST fits the information above:
A) Grey
B) Gray
C) Silver
D) Metallic
E) Light Smoke

Jon Rose brauchte ein neues Website Design und hat einen Wettbewerb auf 99designs gestartet.
Aus 125 Designs von 24 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
We need a simple clean design of 2 content pages, special offer page, plus checkout page design. Simple, clean whites and fresh colors, minimalist design, maybe images of bamboo.
Checkout page design can be provided afterward. Please submit Home page and Product page and Special Offer page for contest.
MyChoirRobes.com (logo provided)

- consistent navigation bar to the following: View Cart | Checkout | My Account | Customer Service
- Unobtrusive links to Privacy Policy page, Return Policy page, Contact Info/About Us page, Links page, FAQ page.
- button for "More Information"
- button for "Purchase"Product page:
- Company logo and website logo in header bar (consistent throughout) - logos already designed, download from above links.
- primary photo with five detail photos (detail #1, detail #2, detail #3, detail #4, detail #5) thumbnails underneath. When the customer mouses over the thumbnail, the selected photo is displayed in the primary photo place.

Checkout Page:
The Checkout Page will be an all-in-one kind of design whereby all six steps of the checkout process will be visible to the customer, so they will know where they are in the process and what is left to accomplish. An example of this style of checkout page can be found at https://www.reefgear.com/checkout/onepage/. We want to keep the same feel from the home page and product page through to the checkout page.

The photo for the checkout success/invoice page is a humorous pose of two singers found here.
Thanks a lot! We are so pleased with the first three contests we ran for logos. I am very much looking forward to the results for the web pages.
Very sincerely,
Jon Rose

There are so many options available in flooring that choosing the right material can be challenging. From natural materials to synthetics, there are countless color, pattern, and texture selections. "It's very easy to become distracted mid-project, derailing all of the effort you've put into planning," McCullar says. "The challenge is to know when to use restraint in your materials selection, and when to cut loose!"
Materials like bamboo, slate, and limestone on larger-scale applications can be effective choices for a mid-century modern home. Acid-etched and stained concrete floors are also popular.
Ceramic and porcelain tiles are gaining depth in color and dimension with more complex glazing applications and sparkles that mimic natural metal flecks in stone. Although neutrals still reign supreme, some of the newer products are deeper and darker with more gray and blue tones mixed with khaki and browns.
Bigger is better in stone and ceramic flooring tiles, with dealers offering 16-,18-, 20-, and even 22-inch tiles. "The larger tiles allow the homeowner to create a more seamless look with fewer grout lines," said Lori Kirk-Rolley, marketing director of flooring manufacturer Daltile. Large tiles make installation a bit tougher on installers, however, and they can crack if the subfloor (concrete slab, plywood underlayment, or other mounting surface) isn't prepared properly first.
The seamless look is becoming even more important for homeowners who want more continuity in indoor and outdoor looks, extending the same hard surfaces from their kitchen or living areas to the backyard patio. When installing tile, thin grout lines also support this appearance of continuity.
Many designers are seeing use of more rustic and irregular stones that can also be used on interior and exterior surfaces. "They create a wonderful effect when continued through the home and out beyond the glass walls and onto the back terrace," McCullar says. "It really tied the spaces together beautifully."
10 Things to Consider before Choosing Your New Floor
Flooring is a costly item in the overall picture of a remodel, so whatever material you select needs to suit your lifestyle and your budget. Flooring costs are determined by material and installation costs, which vary among different regions. Consider these points, as suggested by the World Floor Covering Association:
1. No matter how good the flooring you choose, incorrect installation will result in an uneven surface that will wear poorly. Always have flooring installed professionally.
2. Radiant heating under the floor is compatible with most types of hard flooring, particularly ceramic, stone, and many hardwoods. However, before beginning installation over in-slab radiant heat, professionally inspect the health of the system for any possible repairs that may require slab penetration. Secondly, be sure to discuss your radiant heat with the installer; special installation techniques and adhesive materials (that can withstand heat without breaking down) may be in order.
3. Plain-colored flooring shows up marks more quickly than floors with a patterned surface.
4. Think carefully about your selection of materials for furniture, soft furnishings, cabinet finishes, work surfaces, and appliances before making a final decision on the type of flooring. This way you can ensure that all the elements complement one another.
5. The amount of day-to-day maintenance you are willing to undertake may influence your floor choice. Some materials, such as wood, require more care, especially around a sink where water can damage the varnish.
6. Does your old flooring need to be removed? In most applications, with the exception of radiant-heated floors, wood and laminate often can go right on top of existing flooring. Vinyl, linoleum, cork, and tile frequently cannot. Carpet can be laid on almost any surface, although it is easier to install over wood. Check with your flooring installer before purchase. For homes on a slab, be sure to request a moisture test prior to finalizing your flooring choice and installation options; a moisture barrier installation may be necessary.
7. When getting quotes from flooring dealers, be sure the price quotes include all subfloor preparation, all installation costs, removal of existing flooring (if needed), moving furniture and appliances, and all necessary materials for installing your floor.

Day 20
Sorry I was not able to update due to the site construction. These past days have been great. Today I noticed a surge of energy that lasted the whole day post dosing along a great mood and great endurance. Strength and power ouptut has definitely elevated, weights continue to get lighter and easier to lift. The extra testosterone is making MMA training so much easier especially on days that require more than 3 hours straight of training. Submissions have definitely become a little easier than normal along transitionals and bodily movements. I am loving the feel good factor to this supp. I was lifting today and came across a woman that decided to ask me if she could use one of my weights. From there it turned into a conversation which entailed Men vs Women or battle of the Sexes. She made me laught becasue she noticed that I did not look her way and told me that I was the first guy to act like she was not present in the area. She told me that guys always notice her and she also told me that I had real sexy confidence. I let her baffle for a while before then told her that I needed to train, what does she do, she asks me when is the next time I will lift. I tell her usally late, she then decides to give me her number. That is now 5 numbers this week LOL, not bad eh. As you see both Androstenone and Androsterone have elevated which let me again know that both testosterone and DHT have risen. I got some SERIOUS pumps during squats today and hit a PR on the hamstring curls.

Day 21
Off day
Day 22
This stuff is the real deal! So had some nice clean energy throughout the day with great sense of well being. When I started doing muay thai drills focus and drive were definitely up. Once I started sparring my ability to take a hit was definitely up. I also got kicked in thighs quite a bit, and did NOT feel a thing till post sparring. I did grappling for another hour and half. Absolutely explosive throughout the 3 plus hours of MMA training. Then when I got to the gym, my adrenals were sky high. I hit the weights like a MONSTER, had sweat dripping from the forehead to the point that I got eye irritation from my own sweat. When I got to squats I could feel my legs a bit sore from sparring but that was NOT an issue. I was surprised that I was able to squat more than usual with beat up legs, this product has really boosted my overall output power strength along other things. Oh and I gained size not just by scale but by word of mouth, not one but two people today told me that I look bigger since the last time they saw me which tells me their are ANABOLIC properties to product X. Not to neglect the fact that vascualrity was insane during the workout and it has been ever so present when not training as well, like take for example my off day yesterday, I was shaving and noticed that my veins were pertruding through my forearms as I shaved, my leg veins have also been ridiculously prominent. All signs of elevated testosterone, decreased estrogen and anti-catabolism or anabolism. Loving every aspect of this product. I was watching Jersey Shore yesterday, and got real aggressive when I saw that punk Ronnie picking on Vin because of the ordeal that end up getting his gf Sammy involved. I actually had to take a walk, so as you can see my DHT is up as well since I am in KILL MODE.

Literally for some reason in the middle of classes I got random hardons that lasted me over 10 minutes each session. In matter of fact, I had a hard on just recently before typing this literally lasted for 30 minutes, take it as lie I don't care but its the truth and I am enjoying every moment. I love the careless factor along the great Narcisist sense of being I am getting off of it. I picked up yet another number from a chick that does bikini modeling or at least she say she does lol.

Day 24 and LOVING IT!!!!
Tremendous sense of well being today, had DEEP sleep and felt ready to go from the start. I am really getting hooked off the carefree attitude, it also helps me manage stress better if you get what I am saying. My drive was spectacular today, no matter what I did it was straight tunnel vision today. During muay thai and boxing pad work I was a madman hitting it hard, quick and NO BREAKS for an hour straight. For another 15 minutes I did sparring, boy was I hauling, ABSOLUTELY bullying and persuing my partners. If I got hit with a solid shot I just kept pressing like nothing, I usually try not hit the liver during sparring but today I was like not problem, put two partners on the ground with no air, poor dudes LOL. Kicking was quick and crisp, my instincts were great as well especially with good head movement and faints. Then my next session entailed combat sambo, jiu-jitsu and Judo. Again good drive and endurance. Did about an half and hour of grappling rounds. Again very dominating and persistant, nones were def high because I WREAKED lol. I love how women are initimaded BUT they cannot keep their eyes off me, stuff makes me laugh LOL! Another thing to note, I noticed that this last week training in the weight room has been easier after coming from MMA sessions which again is good bonus for me.

Felt great overall today, GREAT sense of well being, superior invinsible type of feeling. Definitely more heartless as of this week, for example, usually when someone tells me sad news I tell try to console them a little but lately I have been blunt and have told some people pretty much its part of life and there is nothing we can do about it, its the past. I did a simple grappling session with some high level wrestlers for a hour and half. I then did some heavy bag work for an half an hour. VERY GOOD ADRENALS, I could feel my explosivness throughout the whole day, always ready to go so to speak. Endurance again has been HIGHLY noted, along output power and coordination.

I have had AWESOME DRIVE these last two days with a great sense of well being. Definitely feeling superior so to speak. Loving the endurance and muscle endurance during MMA training, it makes sparring and grappling easier that is for sure along the little more explosiveness I have had as of lately. My balls are SWOLE LOL, a little more full than usual, cuz they are always full LOL. I have a noticed nice vascularity really particularly these past 3 days. I have some new veins on my chest that I have never seen before which is cool, leg vascularity is up as well. I have also again had less of a feel bad aggression during sparring hehe. Today I went up 25LBS in volume for reps, which I don't do, so that tells me that strength has DEFINITELY INCREASED! I also have been finishing more workouts quicker, making circuit training less brutal, this muscle endurance has def been noted. My nones are real high as I have been BRUTALLY aggressive this whole week and people have been weary of me yet real submissive. I also have been more ASSERTIVE when talking to family, which is hard since they have different views in life, however; yesterday was different cuz I actually had the balls to say what I needed to say and that was final, nough said. Testosterone is the assertive hormone.... Recovery post training is UPPPPPPPPPP, I have been able to do more on a 6 day basis as compared to the norm, this week I actually plan to train all week....

Well no MMA training but did some shadow boxing along some heavybag work since I can sit still with all the energy I have LMAO. My adrenals were UPPPP today during my leg workout. I could not believe how much intensity I had, no joke. I was roaring after sets, people would stare and then mind their business since I aint the friendliest of cats out there. I was real aggressive and primal per say, I was so ready to get down with any decent looking chick. It was great primal feeling, my sense of well being is still great, and sweated perfusely during lifting. Again recovery has been simply outstanding, I felt like I could my upperbody again today, but chose not to since our bodies always need rest. There was an asian women at my gym today that was CLEARLY ovulating cuz she could not keep her hands away from her thighs as she looked at with those eyes of you know what. She also would fling her hair everytime she was near me. At one point the energy she was giving me was killing me, so I did what any predator in the wild would do, you know the rest....

Well tommorow is the last say of 3 caps, I will be tapering 2 to caps as instructed for the last week of Product X. Mood was GREAT today, ADRENALS ARE SKY-HIGH! Loving how it is really helping me to recover and train the next day so easily. Today during sparring people actually chose TO DECLINE SPRARRING WITH ME LMAO. They call me the bully cuz I just keep coming at you with no remorse lol, love it. It does not help that my nones are real high at the moment, so in simpler words people are scured LOL. The only trainer that still competes chose to spar with me and boy did I give him a beating LOL. Very good cordinated striking along head movement, endurance and muscular endurance were up which made sparring Cake. Then I did grappling with Judo, both endurance/power output and coordination were up which made taking instruction along with drills easy. I also did rounds of live grappling which again was Cake. My trainers are like the bonafied me HAHAHA! Hunger has been BRUTAL, I keep eating, and actually have to go the grocery store on 3 day basis as of these 2 weeks, talk about emptying my pockets LOL.

Day 30
Its sad to see that I am tapering down to 2 caps starting 2morrow since I noticed a serious boost in lifts today. Notice, I ONLY GOT 3 HOURS OF SLEEP. I knew something was up when I almost threw a fist at a dear friend of mine, aggression was through the roof when people irritated me. Overall I was still in a great mood. Realize guys, that not everyone will get real angry of a legit test booster or test injections, its all based on your personality, so it only makes it more pronounced. Lets say you are outgoing, you will be more outgoing on Product X. I am a dick, so on Product X; I AM A SUPER COLD HEARTLESS BASTARD according to my mother hehe. I only got to train boxing which was great, definitely got my work in, drive was tremendous along coordination. I noticed today, when squatting; that the weights def felt lighter than usual. So my next set I bumped it up to 25, still felt light, so I bumped it up to 40, still felt light, went up 60 LBS on squats FOR VOLUME. I must say I was rather impressed, not to take away the fact that I was squatting deep and it 10pm. I also noticed strength gains during my cable work, dumbell exercises, and hamstring/quadricep curls. I could not believe how easier the weights felt to lift. I KNOW I will have to run this for 6-8 weeks to really see where it takes me. Nones were def up because some VERY fertile women walked in, and boy did my adrenals and aggression to lift kicked in, I also got a quick smell of my underpits and noticed a STRONG none odor, which tells me my body wanted to mate with her's. Even though I realized this, I chose to train instead LMAO. Testes were very plump post training which is different, since the testes will become less plump post training, but that was not the case today. Vascularity was great these last 10 days, along HUNGER being through the roof. Libido was annoying if I did not have anything to do, but as long as I stay occupied I am fine.
Meals: Plenty
5 sets of heavy bench
200 weighted pullups
250 weighted dips

2 minutes non stop jump squat with 28 in leap
IMPRESSED TO SAY THE LEAST, not to mention GREAT recovery even right after training.
Day 31
Well there was no change of sense of well being with 2 caps, endurance was great. I was dehyrated during training and was still able to perform well. During muay thai my trainer told me, that my hands were faster than he has ever seen them, so that was refreshing to say the least. WOW, talk about nones. I went to do a light workout today at the gym, and ended up barganing for more LMAO. I was lifting and doing my stuff when a couple decided to ask me if they could take a picture of me since they knew I was fighter, and I quote "my wifey is infatuated with". Anyways, so I am doing trap pulldowns and this chick starts to smile timidly while I am grunting and lifting. She then starts to lift her tight spandex, I get this rush of energy and my workout intensifies. She then gets closer before I cannot take it anymore and go for the kill. I ask her name and she tells me it, I tell her my name, we have small chat and she leads me to the women's sauna. I will leave it at that. Drive/Focus has been topnotch, really liking this feeling. I had no problem with the small sparring session I had, hurting my partner. Lately my aggression has been simply through the roof along my hunger. I realy am having a hard time controlling these aspects, but mental toughness is what gets you somewhere so I know will be able to stabilize these issues. I have also noticed more personality has been real pronounced as of lately, LOVE IT!
1000 situps with leg lifts
trap pull downs
250 sprawls and running in place
200 pull ups
trap extensions
medicine ball oblique drills and others as well
light shadowboxing
Day 32
Woke up feeling real recovered from the other day which was great. Energy was up from the getgo, then came sparring. I tell you, I usually have a hard time finding a rhythm in the beginning of my sessions of boxing against the pro boxer vet. Today that was a different story ad I kept outsmarting him and pressing to the point that he would get tired and I would land shots right to the face. It got to the point that he almost dropped, but I stopped because that is uncalled for, and I will never drop my sparring partner. I had lots of endurance as well, we went for 8 rounds of 5 minutes. Nones are really high, I can tell by the way I am thinking and the way people are responding towards me. Hunger was brutal today, could not stop eating hehe, but its keeping me full so no complaints there. Vascualrity was apperant indeed, I decided to look at my legs and arms post training, and my veins had to be popping out about 1/4in. from the arms and legs. Really impressed with its testosterone enhancing properties, I was told this product will be released in 3-4 weeks from today. It will be called PhytoSerms 247. Libido is def up but I am able to ignore with the intense drive and focus that is geared toward MMA and training.

Day 33
Well I woke up with a real warm body temperature, and it only got hotter post dosing of Product X. My mood was great but I felt real volatile, when I got to the MMA facility that is where I knew something nice was going on. I started to drills in muay thai and BOY MY DRIVE WAS CRAZY STRONG, I was hitting the pads like a mad man, and I just kept at it. Then when it was time to sparr, I kept pressing and hitting with a little pop and gave one of my partners a hurt liver (by mistake). I was real aggressive as well during jiu-jitsu. Very domination performance in all that I did throughout MMA, so to calm down my aggression, I went to a ColdStone's Creamery and destroyed the GottaHaveIt chocolate based snack. I then had myself a Tbone steak with Greens, steamed cabbage, sweet potatoes, platains, and EVOO. I then started to destroy Chocolate chip cookies, I really can't control my appetite as of late. My stench has been putird LOL, lifting will commense tommorow after combat sambo a.m. training.

Interview w/ Dr. Alessio Fasano, Part 1: Should Anyone Eat Gluten?
Since March of this year (2011), I've had it on my list to speak to Alessio Fasano, the Medical Director for The University of Maryland's Center for Celiac Research. What happened in March? Honest-to-goodness food allergy research happened, that's what. Scientists now have a better understanding of why it seems like everyone (and his or her brother) "suddenly" has trouble eating wheat, rye, and barley.
Ten years ago, most of us didn't know what it was. But now "gluten" is a household buzzword. Even if we don't understand what "gluten" actually means (or even is), we see menus and products that are free of it. I would also wager that every person in the U.S. knows someone who gets sick after eating it.
Quick Facts
Gluten is that pesky protein that is unusually rich in the amino acids glutamine and proline. The gluten protein (really, the "gliadin" protein) is found in wheat, with similar trouble-causing proteins found in rye, barley, and triticale.
Because of studies that people like Dr. Fasano and his team have done, we know things we didn't know before. Things like:
- There are four different kinds of wheat allergies, with four different types of immune responses.
- We also now know that 18 million people (aka everyone and his/her brother) have a newly discovered immune response called "gluten sensitivity." People with this condition can have up to 100 symptoms, many similar to Celiac Disease. The difference is that Gluten Sensitivity does not involve the immune system attacking the intestinal wall of the patient.
- The number of people with Celiac Disease has quadrupled in the last 50 years.
- Once thought a genetic disease triggered in childhood, recent cases of celiac disease have shown up in people who are in their 70's and in people who have genetic markers but no genetic history of the disease.
- Celiac Disease is the only autoimmune disease that has a clear trigger (gluten). Therefore, scientists may be able to learn how to better manage other autoimmune diseases, like diabetes, multiple sclerosis, and rheumatoid arthritis through research on celiac disease.
- Today, 1 in 133 people have celiac disease, a genetically linked, autoimmune response to gluten. That's more than 2 million people in the U.S., and 1 percent of the global population. However, most do not know it.
The Interview
I was most privileged to speak with Dr. Fasano about gluten, our bodies' response(s) to it, allergies, Celiac Disease, and what Dr. Fasano calls "the new kid on the block," Gluten Sensitivity. We discussed why there are so many issues with gluten and how you can get tested for an immune reaction to it.
I learned a great deal from Dr. Fasano, including the fact that no one can digest gluten. I know, this surprised me, too; so I asked again and got the same answer. No one can digest gluten. Not properly.
Read on, oh seekers of answers.
TF: Why did you do this most recent study on gluten?
It started about two or three years ago after a critical mass of people with various symptoms came to our clinic, and the numbers of these particular people increased exponentially at that time. Though they had symptoms similar to Celiac Disease, they did not have Celiac Disease. We would give them a negative diagnosis for celiac disease, but they kept coming back with the same symptoms. Many had started a gluten-free diet on their own, and the gluten-free diet seemed to be a cure, a miracle. We had reached the conclusion that though this group of people did not have Celiac Disease, there must be something else happening that is gluten related.
TF: I understand that there was some research to build upon, correct? Tell me about the Banana Babies Study. How did Celiac & Gluten Sensitivity research all begin?
Shortly after World War II, we learned that gluten was the cause for the onset of Celiac Disease, thanks to the Dutch pediatrician, Willem-Karel Dicke. He was puzzled by high infant mortality rates (due to unknown celiac disease) after the war, because in the last few years of the war when bread was unavailable, the mortality rate (from this condition) was 0.. Dicke noticed that these kids improved without bread, and that their condition deteriorated when bread became available again.
The modern era of gluten research started, however, with Samuel Ghee in the United Kingdom at the end of the 19th Century. He gave a famous speech (in a lecture at the Hospital for Sick Children, Great Ormond Street in 1887) based on his report called, "On the Coeliac Affection." Ghee knew what Celiac Disease was (a chronic, genetically pre-disposed, digestive disease that can affect any age), knew that diet was involved, but didn't know what triggered it. It is believed that he also followed the observations of a physician named Aretaeus the Cappadocian, who with others had described the celiac state more than 2000 years before his time.
Before Dicke's discovery and development of the gluten-free diet, one of the diets physicians tried with the afflicted children was the banana diet, used at the University of Maryland in the 1930s. Bananas contain enough calories and nutrients for survival. Parents were instructed to drop their children off for 6 months, and if they were still alive, they could pick them up and take them home.
TF: Did any Banana Babies survive?
Oh yes, in fact there are some survivors who are still around! In fact I invited a Banana Baby who was treated at the University of Maryland Hospital in the 1930s, Barbara Hudson, to speak during one of my recent lectures. She is doing great!
Listen to Dr. Fasano and Barbara Hudson Speak
TF: How many forms of gluten reactions are there?
Dr. Fasano: There are 3 forms. Celiac Disease, and Gluten Sensitivity, and Gluten/Wheat Allergy – and there are four different types of wheat allergy that all behave differently.
TF: What is behind all of these reactions?
Dr Fasano: Gliadin. Gliadin is one of the proteins found in gluten. When someone has a reaction, it's because gliadin cross talks with our cells, causes confusion, and as a result, causes the small intestine to leak. Gliadin is a strange protein that our enzymes can't break down from the amino acids (glutamine and proline) into elements small enough for us to digest. Our enzymes can only break down the gliadin into peptides. Peptides are too large to be absorbed properly through the small intestine. Our intestinal walls or gates, then, have to separate in order to let the larger peptide through. The immune system sees the peptide as an enemy and begins to attack. The difference is that in a normal person, the intestinal walls close back up, the small intestine becomes normal again, and the peptides remain in the intestinal tract and are simply excreted before the immune system notices them. In a person who reacts to gluten, , the walls stay open as long as you are consuming gluten. How your body reacts (with a gluten sensitivity, wheat allergy or Celiac Disease) depends upon how long the gates stay open, the number of "enemies" let through and the number of soldiers that our immune system sends to defend our bodies. For someone with Celiac Disease, the soldiers get confused and start shooting at the intestinal walls.
TF: That sounds like everyone is gluten intolerant in some way. Is that true? Everyone?
Yes. No one can properly digest gluten. We do not have the enzymes to break it down. It all depends upon how well our intestinal walls close after we ingest it and how our immune system reacts to it.
TF: Why have so many people been diagnosed within the last few years?
Dr. Fasano: Some of this is because the medical community has become more aware and because there has been an increase in the incidents (of gluten reactions) in recent years. The environment in general is also a factor. The quantity of grains that we now eat has increased. Breast-fed babies seem to be more protected from developing adverse reactions to gluten. We've found that certain good bacteria, or probiotics that live within us also play a part in "turning off" an adverse reaction to gluten. Antibacterial soaps and other things are reducing the number of these bacteria, changing the microbial environment in our gut.
TF: You've mentioned in the study that Agricultural Changes in Wheat have played a role. Can you tell me more about this?
Dr. Fasano: Ten thousand years ago there were no gluten grains. Wheat, rye, barley and triticale are relatively new grains that have been introduced to our diet. We haven't had enough time to evolve in order to digest these grains properly. In recent years the protein content has increased greatly in our modern wheat. Now, 14% of dry wheat is gluten. This is a lot. I understand why this has happened - more gluten gives characteristics to baked goods that are more desirable, like more elasticity; it's more palatable, but less digestible.
TF: What about GMO's (Genetically Modified Organisms)?
Dr. Fasano: These are all GMOs'! (Dr. Fasano indicated that we've been manipulating agriculture for a long time*). The problem is that if you do this too fast, like we've done in the last 50 years, we pay a price. It takes centuries for our bodies to adapt. There is always a balance between the advantages and the disadvantages. Agricultural mutations are all by chance so it takes time to rule out problems that are created by these mutations. It is unfair to blame GMOs as the only cause, although they are a factor. Our immune system evolved to only fight one enemy, bacteria. Now we have a host of environmental toxicities to fight and each person's immune system does its best to manage those.
(*Note: It's important to note that we did not discuss the types of genetically modified mutations, such as seeds created to withstand pesticides or those that actually produce pesticides.)
TF: Are certain countries more prone to have a population with gluten sensitivity, gluten allergies or Celiac Disease?
Dr. Fasano: In earlier years, Celiac Disease was more common in Ireland and Italy, so it was typically easier to diagnose. People of European descent had a higher tendency to carry the genetic code that predisposes someone to that disease. Now, with the recipe of DNA plus the availability of gluten, Celiac Disease is being found at a surprising rate in India and China. As the quality of life and income improves in these countries, their diet is changing, and it now includes gluten. So, there is a rise in Celiac Disease and in Gluten Sensitivity everywhere.
TF: You've mentioned earlier that doctors are diagnosing more cases. Do you feel that awareness has increased in the last 5 years?
Dr. Fasano: Oh yes. Physicians are more aware, and because of this (Gluten Sensitivity) study they have more information. But we still need to learn a lot--starting with understanding the many symptoms associated with Gluten Sensitivity and Celiac Disease. Celiac Disease is systemic (it affects a number of organs and tissues). Doctors need to better understand how to test and diagnose it. Nutritionists are the ones to help patients manage food allergies and Celiac Disease, not the doctors. Doctors, however, need to learn about this new entity called Gluten Sensitivity. We all need to be able to clearly define these conditions and speak in the same language. And that starts with the right tools to diagnose gluten-related disorders.
TF: What are the markers for Celiac Disease that doctors and patients should look for?
Dr. Fasano: The latest research shows that you could have 4 out of the first 5 of the following markers for Celiac Disease. Gluten Sensitivity has many of the same symptoms. (Please see "Part Two: How to Get Tested for Celiac Disease" for these markers and their in-depth descriptions.")

Measurements of Interface Trap Density in MOS Capacitors Using AC Conductance Method
Published on
Faculty Advisor(s): Cooper
4-H SiC MOS capacitors have a broad interface state density located at approximately 2.9eV above the valence band edge. These states reduce mobility through carrier trapping which in turn affects the electrical performance of these devices. The ac conductance technique is used to measure interface trap density, DIT. In this method, the complex admittance of the device is measured as a function of frequency at a fixed bias in depletion. Then, using a small signal ac equivalent circuit, the interface state conductance GP(ω) is extracted from the measured admittance. The magnitude of the peak of the GP/ω versus ln(ω) curve, at each bias, gives the interface state density opposite the Fermi level at the bias. Currently, we are developing a model using the same theory that is used to calculate the GP/ω curve to analyze the effect of a rapidly varying DIT. Using the data thus obtained, the standard conductance technique can be used to analyze this G P/ω curve as if it were actually experimental data. This method will therefore act as a check to determine if the D IT values obtained experimentally are acceptable. Discrepancies between the theoretical and experimental values would thus indicate the need for more careful experimental procedures.

How is the "(Source Code)" repo used? Does it have a purpose on machines used by people who don't even know how to read source code? I'd like to know if I should just keep it enabled or whether I would lose/gain anything by disabling it.

LONDON (Hollywood Reporter) - Putting a much-loved but over-the-hill vehicle back in shape takes more than a new battery and a lick of paint. It demands a full-bore refit, and that's exactly what J.J. Abrams has given "Star Trek."
Paced at warp speed with spectacular action sequences rendered brilliantly and with a cast so expert that all the familiar characters are instantly identifiable, the film gives Paramount Pictures a new lease of life on its franchise.
Fans of the "Star Trek" saga will be delighted to see Capt. Kirk (Chris Pine), Spock (Zachary Quinto), Bones (Karl Urban) and all the others in the early part of their lives as the Starship Enterprise takes its maiden voyage. The film is so much fun, however, that it will draw in moviegoers just looking for a sensational ride. The box office should beam up enormous returns when the film opens on May 7.
Abrams and screenwriters Roberto Orci & Alex Kurtzman keep the plot simple but hit all the right notes and some phrases that will bring a smile of recognition. George Lucas' Industrial Light + Magic once again raises the bar on special effects, and Daniel Mindel's cinematography and Scott Chambliss' production design are top-notch.
In a breathtaking precredit sequence, James T. Kirk is shown being born as his Starship captain father (Chris Hemsworth) goes to his death in a blaze of glory. The film sketches the different childhoods of Kirk and his future partner Spock, then moves quickly to their time at the Starfleet Academy before they are ordered to go on a rescue mission to the planet Vulcan.
Their leader, Capt. Christopher Pike (Bruce Greenwood), ends up being taken prisoner by a Romulan named Nero (Eric Bana), who is bent on destroying all the planets in the federation including Earth. The remainder of the film shows Kirk and Spock out to rescue Pike and save the world.
One of the great charms of the film is that anyone who knows anything about the original "Star Trek" crew will be right at home with the new cast. Pine has Kirk's good looks and brash confidence. Quinto (from NBC's "Heroes") is an uncanny Spock and holds his own even when confronted by the original in the form of Leonard Nimoy.
Urban as Dr. McCoy, John Cho as Sulu and Anton Yelchin as Chekov all get moments to shine, while, as the glamorous Uhura, Zoe Saldana has fun in discovering an unlikely romantic partner. Simon Pegg shows up as engineer Scotty about 80 minutes into the picture but makes the most of his limited time.
Bana is almost unrecognizable as the villain Nero, but he makes the role suitably scary. The ever-stately Nimoy has much more to do than a mere cameo, though if you blink you'll miss Winona Ryder.
One slight disappointment is the score by Abrams regular Michael Giacchino, which though given prominence in the sound mix is derivative and includes Alexander Courage's original theme only at the end.

Author Notes: This is one of my favorites - an adaptation of Dorie Greenspan's French Pear Tart. It works well as both a pie and a tart. I use a trusty old recipe for a buttery crust - blind baking first ensures the crust doesn't get soggy and stays crisp. This is layered with an almond cream to which I add Amaretto for luxury and cinnamon for warmth. Over this go pear and peach slices - a welcome to fall and the last reminiscence of summer. I cover it with dough cutouts, a trick I owe to Melissa Clark, though a lattice crust works just as well. I used a maple leaf cookie cutter for this pie : ) - Heena —Heena
Food52 Review: Juicy, gooey, crispy, flaky, Heena's Amaretto Peach and Pear Pie unfolds in layers of delectable flavors and textures. The crust, a miracle of rich, buttery crispness, is covered with a glorious amaretto-infused almond cream. The two fruits melt right into the other flavors, the pear slices slightly more firm than the lumps of melting peach. Heena suggests making the almond cream and pie crust ahead of time, which streamlines the final assembly. Blind baking of the bottom crust prevents sogginess (on day 3 it remains perfectly crisp), and although not specified, I assumed it should be cooled to room temperature before it is filled. Heena has given a great recipe and instructions for the pie crust dough. I made two half-batches in a small mini-prep, with perfect results. (The thinner, smaller blade worked better for me than the regular food-processor knife blade.) Most enthusiastically recommend this for an Editors' pick. - Apple Annie —The Editors
Serves: 8
Crust (makes enough for a double pie crust; halve the recipe for a tart)
2 1/2
cups all purpose flour
tablespoons sugar
teaspoon salt
cup chilled unsalted butter
tablespoons ice water
tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
cup sugar
1 1/4
cups blanched ground almonds
teaspoons all purpose flour
teaspoon cornstarch
teaspoon cinnamon
large egg
tablespoons Amaretto
medium peaches, firm but ripe
medium pears, firm but ripe
small fresh lemon
tablespoons cream
Demerara sugar, for sprinkling
Crust (makes enough for a double pie crust; halve the recipe for a tart)
- Blend the flour, sugar and salt in a food processor.
- Cut the cold butter into small cubes and drop it into the processor. Pulse until you have a coarse mixture with pea-size bits of dough. (The cold butter is essential to a flaky crust.)
- Add the ice water a little at a time and pulse until the dough just starts to clump and come together – stop as soon as this happens. Remove from the processor, and very gently knead the dough and divide into two. Flatten into disks, wrap with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least half an hour (this makes it easier to roll).
- Generously flour your work surface and rolling pin. Place one dough disk on the surface and roll out to an 11-inch circle. Transfer the dough to a lightly buttered 9-inch pie/tart pan – to do this, fold the dough into quarters, gently lift and place in the pan with the point of the dough at the centre of the pan, and unfold. Press gently onto bottom and sides of pan. Freeze for at least half an hour (this prevents shrinking).
- Preheat the oven to 375?F (190?C) with the rack in the middle. Line the bottom and sides with foil and fill with rice or beans. (I find pie weights too heavy but please use them if that's what you use.) Bake until golden, about 25 mins.
- Do ahead: You can store the unbaked dough in the refrigerator wrapped for up to 4 days or in the freezer for up to a month.
- Make the almond cream: Process the butter and sugar in a food processor until the mixture is smooth. Add the almonds and process until well blended. Add the flour, cornstarch, cinnamon and egg and process just until the mixture is homogeneous. Blend in the liqueur. Do ahead: You can stored the cream in the refrigerator covered for up to 2 days.
- Peel and slice the peaches lengthwise. Peel the pears and slice lengthwise. Toss the pear slices with fresh lemon juice.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Fill the prebaked crust with the almond cream. Pat the peach and pear slices dry by placing them between a double layer of paper towels. Arrange the slices alternately over the almond cream.
- If making a tart skip this step: Roll out the second dough disk. Use cookie cutters of your choice to make dough cutouts. Arrange the cutouts over the fruit in a pattern of your choice. (You can also use a regular lattice crust.) Brush the top crust with cream and sprinkle generously with Demerara sugar.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbling, about 50-60 mins. Transfer to a rack and cool to room temperature before serving. (If you have made this as a pie, serve with the best vanilla ice cream. If made as a tart, serve dusted with confectioners' sugar and sliced almonds.)

Lord og the rings online
Lotro has almost dedicated itself to bring good news. First of all – they offer quest pack sale! Lotlorien, Enedwaith are all 20% cheapier. WHich can mean only one thing: my alts are gathering for Turbine points hunt, as quick as possible (have some 503, need 556) I need about 55 TPs which would be kind of easy to achieve. Especially on low-level characters: hunt sickle-flies or just find locations in Shire and Ered-Luin.
I have finally finished purchasing all I wanted from Spring festival. Even managed to collect all missing flowers within one run (1 hour). It was incredible, but it's a fact and now all the steed cosmetics are mine. Thanks to God, I am free from grinding flowers/leaves.
Kinship brought me to Goblin town. We helped one kinnie to hunt for missing Champion book pages. Oh, I do know what pain may it be. I hunted for these alone – and now our friend was hunting with serious support: 1 tank (lvl.85), 2 medium tanks (lvl.60 and 64) and one lvl.40 player. We ran through Goblin city sweeping away any opposition and I was lucky enough to test my AoE attacks. No one died, no needs for serious healings – it was just one big slaughter. I had my own profit too: killing goblins meant looting reputation items with Elves of Rivendell.
And then fellowship decided to move to Angmar and while I was looking at the map – offer expired, I was left alone. A pity – I'd like to revisdit Angmar, grumpy Angmar and kill some evils here. However, I had some quests in Goblin town, did some of them, then teleported to Bree.
Not so bright news: Turbine is increasing cost of Turbine points in Euro. Players argue it has no economic background since fluctuation between USD and EUR is not so huge. Would be bad if they do so: the higher the prices, the less people buy and the less people buy, the less profit for game.
And so the day has ended, full of good news. Weekend would be an alting day, doing almost all doable deed and grinding for TPs. And then – Lothlorien awaits!
