Valentine's Day 2016
22 comments:
I'm so glad you had such a great Valentine's Day! A home cooked meal and good conversation is my favorite way to spend a romantic night with my husband. I've been wanting to try those conversation starters with him but haven't gotten to do it yet. I inherited a huge set of beautiful china from my cousin after she passed away. It is exactly what I would have picked out on my own, but even if it wasn't, it means a lot to me. I love to bring it out for nights like this.ReplyDelete
Yum, that looks delish! We did zip for V-day, but our anniversary is next weekend! I told hubby that I wanted him to plan it and surprise me. We'll see what he comes up with!ReplyDelete
A fancy meal for us is grilled cheese with tomato...ohhhh ;) hahaReplyDelete
Oh heck, I dont even have a full table & chairs, & turned my dining room into a library - so nope, no china for us :)
I love you thought to do valentines for the SS Teachers - so sweet.
& good for you back running. You are a DO ALL MOMMA!
Sounds like a great night! And the printables are adorable! We didn't do wedding china...and I'm glad because we rarely use anything besides the plastic target plates and bowls. Maybe I'll regret it someday...ReplyDelete
I love when we pull out the fancy wedding china. And it only happens about two or three times a year, but gosh dangit we make the best of it when we do pull it out!ReplyDelete
Okay I'm still a little bitter because Caleb wouldn't let us buy our cute wedding China post-wedding. Maybe I can convince him when we buy a nice house that we would use it for fun date nights in? ;)ReplyDelete
On another note. I LOVE that you two did the conversation starters. Caleb and I did a funny "22 would-you-rather" questions the other night that I found online and it sparked some really awesome conversation! I love it!
I have my Grandma's china. Our foster daughter just asked if we could use it yesterday morning, actually. How did you make your brussel sprouts? They look delicious!ReplyDeleteReplies
Not to link to another post in a comment buuuuut, here is our go-to method for cooking the sprouts! Yum.Delete
We love marinated chicken on the grill. Our kids love it, and it's easy.ReplyDelete
I don't have wedding china. I opted to register for winter dishes. I didn't see the need for china, and I didn't want Christmas dishes. So I opted for winter-themed ones. I take them out around Thanksgiving, and put them away sometime in February usually. My set is now discontinued, so we'd better not break any! :)
I love your fun Valentines, however long they took! Probably a safe bet on holding off with the "VD" ::insert crying laughing emoji here:: Your Valentine's Day sounds like it turned out beautiful! Love R's cute little outfit and hair bow :) And don't get me started on Benadryl. I had a friend who didn't realize the suggested dose and took 6, which tuned out way funnier than you'd expect.ReplyDelete
This sounds like a fantastic VD. Hmm. You're right. That just doesn't work.ReplyDelete
But really. The dinner sounds and looks delicious, and how nice of R to call it an early night so her parents could have a private meal. She's so considerate!
I love this!ReplyDelete
We have china....never use it. It's my single biggest wedding related regret lol.
I love those conversation starters too! We usually play "would you rather" but questions like that are fun too.
A good friend of mine asked for fancy dishes from Goodwill as housewarming/holiday gifts when she moved in to her first house, and she is able to set the coolest table with it now. Your VD sounds perfect. (Haha!) Liam got very cool Japanese dishes for Christmas so we've been having sushi or noodle dishes as our fancy meals lately. Lobster actually did get old.ReplyDelete
Happy belated Valentine's Day to the adorable Bum family! :)ReplyDelete
I love conversation starters! I always try to just casually slip them in like it was something that just popped into my head at the moment, and Chris is always like, "...you found that on the internet, didn't you?"ReplyDelete
Sounds PERFECT to me!!! The older I get the more EXCITED I am about staying home and celebrating even the most important days with a homecooked meal. :) I think it's special that you only have two place settings for your wedding china. I've never thought of doing that, but it's a good idea!!! In the years to come, a dinner between the TWO of you will be a special occasion in and of itself and that china can remind you of it. Of course, if you want to get more pieces to share the dinner with others, that's fine...I just think the two place settings is cool!ReplyDelete
Your brother....hiyayayiiii! Poor guy. I'd be laughing too, though!
And the Valentines are super cute!!! My friend always helps her daughter mail me a valentine and I LOVE it. :) I have the one from a few years ago on my fridge and it makes me smile every time I get a glass of ice water!
What a perfect VD weekend (sorry I had to after you mentioned it lol)! Yay for running 6 miles! You rock! We didn't do much for Valentine's Day either and we love it that way! The three of us went out to dinner and relaxed the rest of the day! :)ReplyDelete
hahahaha i am still laughing at the VD. i love the conversation starter idea, i think KC would complain and act like it was all lame, and then talk the most.ReplyDelete
I love this! I'm glad you guys had a really good Valentine's Day. I never did buy China for our wedding. I don't get that? It just sits in a cabinet most of the time.ReplyDelete
Awesome job on the running! You are doing so so well!
Sounds like you had a good Valentine's Day. I'm laughing at your Valentine's. I think you should parent my kids for the month of February when they all have to sit at the table making Valentine's for every kid in their class (mandatory) singing "It's a hard-knock life..."ReplyDelete
Aww I love this! We totally have done conversation starters too. They make for a fun date night. One of my favorites is Table Topics set of "What Would You Do" questions. Christopher and I have used them some, but we break them out a lot with teenagers and friends. :)ReplyDelete
So glad you guys had a wonderful (and delicious!) Valentine's. :)
Yay for a long run!ReplyDelete
Thanks for the comment! I will respond via email and also occasionally in the post thread if you are asking a question that other readers might be interested in.

Before that annoying Limey GEICO lizard invaded our television screens with polite reminders that we can save $15 a month or more on car insurance by switching to GEICO (fuck, did I really just say that?!), there's new evidence that he was once a corvette driving bounder.
This old photograph of a lizard driving recklessly through someone's home popped up on reddit, and is a pretty good indication that the GEICO lizard got his current job because he had a debt to pay. That's right, due to a number of collisions and felony traffic violations in a collection of model cars, the lizard probably saw the commercial gig as his only way out of mounting financial and legal troubles.
So next time you hear that soothing, innocent little British voice telling you how you can save money on car insurance, just remember that the first thing you can do to keep your auto policy premiums from skyrocketing is to not be like the GEICO Gecko.
Or it could just be that a couple of guys who were really bored used to catch lizards and take pictures of them sitting in model cars. Either way, I don't trust that shady GEICO reptile, and wish he'd go back to Blighty already.

Tuesday January 7th
Emily and I were able to find Nemo while the "big" kids were Soarin'
We liked that Donald's poncho matched with Em.
Love her facial expression in the picture. She was willing to stand by Donald but not too close.
They're wishing...
for Snow White to come
She twirled each of the girls which resulted in big smiles!
At least one person from the group had to wait in line. The line was 2 hours long and it was cold outside.
I love how Lizzy's looking at Elsa
This picture just makes me go ohhh....
I don't know why but I love this troll!
After a few more fun stops...space earth and such we called it a night and didn't stay for the firework show. Everyone was cold, tired, and hungry.

Bob Dylan and the Grateful Dead
Giants Stadium
East Rutherford, New Jersey
July 12th, 1987
While the 71,598 fans who crammed into Giants Stadium had come to see sparks fly between these seasoned rock & roll veterans, what they got instead was confirmation of one act's miraculous rebirth and further proof of the other's musical decline.
A record-breaking crowd for this third of the six Alone and Together summer shows, featuring the Grateful Dead and Bob Dylan, proved the pairing a promoter's dream. But it is hard to imagine a less likely backup band for Dylan than the Dead, and the musical mismatch proved almost irreconcilable. At the heart of the show's problem was a seemingly indifferent and anachronistic Dylan, who failed to match the middle-aged musical redemption the Dead have found both onstage and on their album In the Dark.
It wasn't until the final number — Dylan's funereal ballad "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" — that the show became a successful collaboration. As the song wound down, guitarists Jerry Garcia and Bob Weir and keyboardist Brent Mydland began singing the minor-key harmony of the song, Dylan launched into a bit of lyric improvisation, and the crowd began clapping along. Finally there it was — that elusive magic the audience had been awaiting all evening.
Giving a tongue-in-cheek nod to the advance of time, the Dead took the stage to the accompaniment of the Beatles' "When I'm Sixty-four." But it was clear from their opener, "Hell in a Bucket," that the Dead are by no means ready to be claimed by the rocking chair. The band still has a stage presence best described as lumpy, but during their two-hour opening set, the healthy-looking Dead acted downright professional. Gone were the interminable between-song tunings, and the jams were mostly restricted to lengthy versions of "Playing in the Band" and "Morning Dew." Instead, the band plowed through a career retrospective — from early workouts like "The Other One" to most of the tracks from In the Dark.
Popular on Rolling Stone
In their usual play-it-by-ear style, the Dead eschewed car radio classics like "Truckin'," yet the heavily tie-dyed crowd didn't care. They cheered Garcia's ageless guitar solos, didn't seem to mind Bob Weir's slightly hoarse voice and actually seemed excited by the nearly ten-minute drum duet between Mickey Hart and Bill Kreutzmann. The Dead responded in kind: the briskly performed "Ramblin' Rose" and "Bertha" didn't sound like the warhorses they are, and Garcia invested lines like "I got no chance of losing this time," from "Loser," with an obvious sense of purpose.
In the context of this welcome-back celebration for the cleaned-up Dead, Dylan — dressed in a leather jacket and gloves despite the insufferable summer heat — appeared ill at ease with his status as an elder statesman. As with his 1986 True Confessions Tour, with Tom Petty, Dylan's set list leaned heavily toward pre-1968 hits, from "The Times They Are A-Changin'" to a ragged "Stuck Inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues Again."
While the crowd was supportive of Dylan, some of the loudest cheers went to Garcia's solo in "All Along the Watchtower," and few recognized "Chimes of Freedom" or the more obscure "Joey." Not that Dylan made it easy to recognize them: he delivered many of the songs in the gnarled, tuneless wheeze he's been perfecting for the past decade.
In backing Dylan, the Dead tried to tag along amiably. Beginning with a thumping, grinding version of "Slow Train Coming," they turned "Tomorrow Is a Long Time" into a country two-step, complete with a rare Garcia pedal-steel-guitar solo. But for most of the hour-plus set, it sounded as if two different bands were performing onstage. The Dead proved too loose for tightly wound numbers like "Highway 61 Revisited" and "Ballad of a Thin Man," and at one point Garcia started into the chorus of "Joey" as Dylan lurched into another verse. Rarely making eye contact with the band, Dylan exhibited the most spark in a passionate performance of "John Brown," a circa 1962 antiwar ballad that's only appeared on a few bootlegs.
As the first of two encores, the Dead finally kicked into a faithful version of their new anthem "Touch of Grey." The throng let loose a roar of recognition — even though In the Dark had arrived in record stores only three days earlier — and sang along heartily with the "I will get by/I will survive" chorus. Dylan, looking out of place, strummed along inaudibly. To paraphrase the title of one of his Sixties compositions, not enough was delivered.
This is a story from the September 10, 1987 issue of Rolling Stone.

Princetons 9/11 projects at work
Photo by Denise Applewhite
The work molecular biologist Martin Weigert is doing in Schultz Laboratory could lead to better lives for millions of Americans suffering from the auto-immune disease lupus.
Weigert and his collaborators at the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Tennessee have discovered what could be a primary cause of the disease a point at which the immune systems mechanism for making disease-fighting antibodies breaks down and allows antibodies to attack the bodys own DNA, an identifying characteristic of lupus.
As many as 4 million Americans have lupus, a disease with symptoms that range in severity from mild rashes to organ failure. According to the Centers for Disease Control, the number of deaths due to lupus has risen from 879 in 1979 to 1,406 in 1998. During that 20-year period, 22,861 people died from the disease.
Weigerts research could lead to new treatments that may be ready for testing in three years. He is already developing peptides, small protein fragments, which are designed to block the disease in mice and could lead to similar treatments for humans. Currently, lupus treatments call for immuno-suppression, which compromises the entire immune system, and gene therapy similar to that undergone by cancer patients, says Weigert.
Weigert has been studying immunology for nearly 40 years and pioneered the use of genetically altered mice in researching how certain cells are regulated and their impact on autoimmune disease. This year, his 10th at Princeton after working at the Institute for Cancer Research in Philadelphia, Weigert again taught a freshman seminar on immune systems and an advanced immunology course for graduate students.

Princetons 9/11 projects at work
The universitys efforts to support New York Citys renewal and recovery from the September 11th terrorist attacks have already delivered some relief through an arts program made available to thousands of schoolchildren.
The Arts Alive program, one of four to which Princeton dedicated a total of $1 million earlier this year, ran in conjunction with Manhattan nonprofit Hospital Audiences, Inc., and provided tickets to 195 arts and cultural events for nearly 11,000 children in New York and New Jersey, along with corresponding educational workshops. Nearly 300 undergraduates and graduate students were involved with Arts Alive, leading or assisting in workshops covering everything from ballet and Beauty and the Beast to astrophysics and The Crucible.
I think its a really unique program, said Maureen Monagle 04, a history major whose class adopted Arts Alive as a special project. I think that Princeton invested in something that had true impact on New York City and its students and utilized the talents of Princeton students. It was tangible and memorable.
Another one of the programs, focused on research projects, has also produced something tangible: an informational map, Around Ground Zero, which was partly funded by a university grant and created by Laura Kurgan, assistant professor at the School of Architecture. Janette Kim 01, Donald Shillingburg 01, and Bethia Liu GS assisted Kurgan with the map, which was developed in conjunction with neighborhood groups and the Coalition for the Rebuilding of Lower Manhattan. It delineates the impact of the attacks on the area around Ground Zero and what has risen in their wake, including temporary memorial sites, open viewing areas, and new public transportation routes.
More grants are expected to go to faculty, staff, and undergraduates and graduates who wish to lend their expertise in recovery efforts or pursue research related to the attack and rebuilding efforts.
Princetons Justice Scholarship Program at New Yorks John Jay College of Criminal Justice, which lost more than 100 students and alumni in the attack, is still accepting applications for 10 $2,000 awards to be handed out for next year.
The fourth program, designed to offer outdoor experiences to youngsters, has been modified to one that will help New Jersey teachers deal with September 11 in their classrooms.
Some alumni donors have questioned the universitys funding of outside efforts. But Princeton administrators have stressed that the programs mesh with Princetons purposes and its role as a leader in American higher education.
President Tilghman and others cited the educational benefits for Princeton students, who had to take on management, teaching, and mentoring roles with the Arts Alive program, in particular, and the demand that came from many students, staff, and alumni for a university-wide response to the tragedy.

Architect Stan Allen *88 has been selected as dean of the School of Architecture, effective July 1. Allen, a founding principal and director of Field Operations, an interdiscplinary design practice, earned an M.A. in architecture at Princeton in 1988 after completing a B.A. in architectural history from Brown and a B.A. in architecture from Cooper Unions School of Architecture. Since 1990, he has been a faculty member in Columbias Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation. He also has served as director of its master of science program in advanced architectural design since 1991.
The recipient of numerous design awards, fellowships, and competition prizes, Allen has designed galleries, workspaces, and single-family houses that have been built in New York, Los Angeles, and abroad.
Anne-Marie Slaughter 80, a law professor and scholar of international affairs, will join the faculty as dean of the Woodrow Wilson School this fall. She will also have a faculty position in the Department of Politics. Currently, Slaughter is a professor of international, foreign and comparative law at Harvard and a professor at the John F. Kennedy School of Government there.
Slaughter majored in the Woodrow Wilson School at Princeton and received a certificate in European cultural studies. She was a Sachs scholar and studied at Oxford for two years after graduation. She earned her law degree at Harvard in 1985.
She has written or coedited four books and more than 50 articles for scholarly and legal journals.

Although Cornel West *80 has yet to return physically to Princeton, the religion professors e-mail and office address are in place, and he continues to engender discussion and controversy.
Just as Harvard students were speaking out against Harvard President Lawrence Summers because of Wests departure from Cambridge, a letter signed by five Princeton professors appeared in the New York Times on April 24 chastising West for calling Summers the Ariel Sharon of American higher education in an interview on National Public Radio.
Several professors at Princeton were taken aback by Wests comments, according to molecular biology professor Jacques Fresco, whose name was the only one printed with the letter to the editor. Fresco, who has been at Princeton for 40 years, said he was told the other names were omitted due to space constraints. He did not wish to divulge his colleagues names or comment any further on the letter or on West.
It is important for our new faculty colleague Cornel West to know that even as we welcome him back in our midst, we look with strong disfavor upon his characterization of Lawrence H. Summers, wrote Fresco and the others in the 174-word letter. Such an analogy carries innuendoes and implications regarding both President Summers and Prime Minister Sharon that many on the Princeton faculty find highly inappropriate, indeed repugnant and intolerable.
Professor of English John Fleming *63, in an essay in the April 30 Daily Princetonian, said that he found most remarkable the statements made to the press by Professor West regarding his motives for leaving Harvard to come to Princeton. They might be summarized as a festival of self-indulgent self-regard. His interview with the New York Times reports nothing about Princeton as an institution, nothing about its faculty or its students, nothing about teaching here, nothing about the department (of which he is an alumnus) he will rejoin, nothing about research plans.
West did not reply to several interview requests from PAW.
Responding to the criticism that came with Wests appointment, President Tilghman noted that West is a controversial figure who has not always been treated kindly by the media. But, she added, he is also unquestionably one of the nations leading teachers and scholars in his field.
Tilghman also confirmed that Princeton and West had been discussing his return prior to his well-publicized conversation with Summers last fall. One of Wests former colleagues told PAW that West had been contemplating and working toward the move for nearly 20 months.
In an e-mail, Tilghman stated the process had followed the regular procedures of the university with respect to faculty appointments a vote by the members of the departments faculty, the solicitation of evaluations from major scholars in his field, and careful review by the facultys committee on appointments and advancements, which I chair.
In terms of Wests extracurricular activities, which include getting arrested for protesting Sharons policies and serving on the Reparations Coordinating Committee a group of lawyers and intellectuals aiding in the slavery reparations lawsuits being filed against corporations and possibly some universities in the future, including Princeton Tilghman said they are protected by the principles of free speech and academic freedom.
We ask of all our faculty that they dedicate themselves as teachers, and distinguish themselves as scholars, but their political views are not within the purview of the university to monitor, she said.

As part of the Washington Post team that earned this years Pulitzer Prize for national reporting, Barton Gellman 82 was honored for his reporting on the U.S.s failed efforts in recent years to capture or kill Osama Bin Laden.
Winning an award for work spurred by the violent deaths of thousands is not something Gellman a finalist twice before for Americas top journalism prize takes lightly.
Were always building our best work on tragedy, said Gellman, who taught a seminar at Princeton this spring as a Ferris Professor of Journalism. Journalism is mainly about conflict. Anytime that your work is honored you have this feeling that youre somehow benefiting from something awful, but you also hope that youre making it more understandable to readers or exposing something that needs attention.
Gellman, a special projects reporter at the Posts New York bureau, credits Fortune magazine senior writer Peter Elkind 80, his Daily Princetonian editor when they were both undergraduates, with helping him learn how to cover a news beat. His campus reportage included a labor dispute.
That was where I really learned how to cover a running story, Gellman says. Youre not writing about something just once. You keep coming back and coming back, you learn to find different dimensions of the story, different angles.
After two years at Oxford as a Rhodes scholar, Gellman worked on then Arizona Governor Bruce Babbitts presidential run. He then joined the Post and worked his way up from covering the D.C. courts to the national desk.
Gellman and his wife, Tracy, live in New York with their eight-year-old triplets.

President Bush has nominated economics professor Ben Bernanke to the seven-member Federal Reserve Board. Bernanke, the Howard Harrison and Gabrielle Snyder Beck Professor of Economics and Public Affairs, is the chair of the Department of Economics. A macroeconomist with interests in monetary policy and macroeconomic history, he is the director of the Program in Monetary Economics of the National Bureau of Economic Research and a member of the bureaus Business Cycle Dating Committee. He also serves as editor of the American Economic Review. His nomination is subject to approval by the U.S. Senate.
At its April meeting, the Board of Trustees approved the promotions of several faculty members. The three new full professors are Su Friedrich, humanities and visual arts; Jacqueline Stone, religion; and Zoltan Szabo, mathematics. Newly tenured to the position of associate professors are Edgar Choueiri, mechanical and aerospace engineering; Joshua Goldstein, Woodrow Wilson School and sociology; Frederick Hughson, molecular biology; Tali Mendelberg, politics; Isabelle Nabokov, anthropology; and Vance Smith, English.
William Harman 63 has donated to Firestone Library a manuscript notebook kept by John Witherspoon before he came to America to become Princetons sixth president. Don Skemer, curator of the universitys rare books manuscripts, said that Witherspoons notes about his legal and financial difficulties from 176264 were of special interest. Last year Harman donated a letter written by Witherspoon in 1787. Harman is a retired managing director of Morgan Stanley.
A one-day exhibit took place at Firestone Library on May 31 in which four rare Bibles owned by William Scheide 36 were shown. On display were the Gutenberg Bible, c. 145455; the 36-line Bible, no later than 1461; the Mentelin Bible, no later than 1460; and the 1462 Bible, printed on vellum with illustrations, which is considered one of the finest Bibles extant.
The Third World Center, established in 1971 as a place for students of color to gather for socializing and for cultural and political events, will have a new name next month: the Carl A. Fields Center for Equality and Cultural Understanding. Named after a former Princeton dean who was the first African American to hold such a high-ranking post at an Ivy League school, the new name is intended to encourage a more inclusive membership and a more robust, diverse program, said Kathleen Deignan, dean of undergraduate students.
Two Ivy Club officers were charged with

Cluse Leather Watch // Cluse Mesh Watch // CT Pillow Talk Lipstick // Nike Leggings // RI Purse // Frame Quote // Duvet Cover // Zoeva Rose Golden Brush Set
Uuuurh, how do I turn 20 this month? I am not ready to adult. To help ease the thought of this, I decided to fix myself up a little bday wishlist.
There's not really any major presents I want this year, and getting together this wishlist actually proved quite challenging! I've been after a new watch for years now after being a bit bored of my chunky Marc Jacobs one, but I'm stuck between getting a classic brown leather strap, or the classy mesh style! In terms of beauty wants, I really want to get some new brushes – my old amazon jobbies are starting to fall apart on me and I loved the zoeva silk finish brush I bought a few months ago to try out! Of course some makeup has to fall in there too – CT Pillow Talk and the Anastasia Glow Kit are certainly items bloggers have made me need want! I live in gymwear at uni because of the amount of netball I play, and over summer I really want to keep up my fitness in the gym, what better way to motivate myself with some amazingly pretty leggins?! My purse is beginning to get a bit scraggly now and despite looking everywhere, River Island always seems to win on this front – the card to coin space ratio seems to be just right! Finally I'm really eager to do up my room at home soon – the furniture is all perfect but the decor just needs a bit of sprusing! I'm thinking of going for a yellow and grey theme, and dusty pink and grey when I want to switch it up – what do you think?! This Habitat duvet cover is so bright and pretty, I just love it! I also want to cover my room with cute quotes and sayings, if you follow me on instagram you'll know how much I love a good quote. I saw this 'Love you to the moon and back' back in February and hinted at Jamie to pick me one up for Valentines. This time I've also pointed it out to my mum.. if all else fails, it'll be a gift from me, to me!

Well known for their unpretentious flavours, Balinese cuisine bursts with local herbs and spices. From high-end restaurants to local eateries, you will find a unique twist of taste in Balinese cuisine when compared to other South-east Asian countries. Here are a few delicacies that you must try during your visit to Bali:
1. Babi Gulingt
This dish is also known as suckling pig. Usually, pork dishes are difficult to find in Muslim countries, but Bali is famous for suckling pig. Baby pigs, still feeding on mother's milk are a popular dish in Bali. Stuffed with a spice paste called "Base Gede", the pigs are rubbed with turmeric and other spices such as lemongrass, coriander, garlic, black pepper, ginger and then roasted on coconut husks until tender.
2. Bebek Betutu or Slow cooked Duck
Thi is yet another must-try dish. Usually, Bebek Betutu takes longer hours to cook, and that's why you need to order it a day in advance. First, tamaring puree and salt is applied on the duck. This is done to tenderise the meat and remove any odour or "duck-like" smell. It is then washed off, and the duck is stuffed with special spice mix called bumbu rajeng, cassava leaves, and eggs. The meat is then wrapped in husks of betel nut also known as Upeh, and then slow cooked until the meat separates from the bone.
3. Mie Goreng
This is a classic Indonesian food comprising of friend noodles and vegetables. You can add chicken, shrimp or pork if you wish. Often, this dish is topped with an egg or chicken sate sticks, peanut sauce, and prawn crackers. A few places also serve pickled vegetables with this dish.
4. Nasi Goreng
This dish is similar to Mie Goreng, but instead of noodles, it serves fried rice. This is a classic Balinese staple. You will find people eating this for breakfast, lunch, and even dinner. The rice is fried with an assortment of veggies and your choice of meat. It is served with a poached egg on top of it along with pickled vegetables.
5. Nasi Campur
This is also a local favourite. Nasi Campurs means "mixed rice." This dish usually contains small portions of fish, meat, and vegetables served with steamed rice. Each dish will offer you a unique burst of flavour.
6. Sate
Indonesian Sate is quite different from the Sate available in other South-east Asian countries. The Indonesian Sate is made using mashed chicken mixed thoroughly with a wide array of spices. It is them moulded onto a stick (usually lemongrass stick is used to give it a rich flavour) and then it is barbequed. You will get both Chicken and Fish Sate in Bali.
7. Pisang Goreng
Bali is a place where you will find bananas of every variety. And this is a dessert of fried bananas. It is usually served with palm or sugar syrup, honey, or ice cream.
So next time when you are chilling at Bali, do not forget to try these dishes. Explore our international tour packages to get the best deal on your next trip to Bali or any other location.

Now Open: Max Chocolatier Boutique
Zuri Girl was drooling at the opportunity to experience Max Chocolatier Boutique the day before it's Grand Opening.
Hosted by Ursina, one of the lovely Max Chocolatiers, , we engaged on a decadent journey and oh my ladies, the newest chocolate shop on the block is also officially our favorite!
A MUST for Zurich gifts, dinner party hostess delights and well…simply your daily dose of deliciousness!
Enjoy our Top 5 Reasons we Love Max Chocolatier Boutique
The Taste. Melt in your mouth, savor every bite…ladies, these chocolates bring your taste buds a place they've never been before!
Think dark chocolate Ganache, truffles, chocolate covered coffee beans, almonds, hazelnut & passionfruit; Fleur de Sel Caramel Plättli; 38-74% chocolate bars from chocolate heavens like Bolivia & Madagascar; seasonal flavors like Raspberry, Pumpkin and Cranberry & Chili; hot coccoa & brownie bar recipe ingredients and not to be forgotten a giant cocoa fruit replica molded into chocolate ideal for a dinner party hostess gift.
Zuri Girl Tip: Because the chocolate is made fresh with only core ingredients (cocoa, cocoa butter & sugar), they also have a fast expiration date…the chocolate bars last the longest at 4 months.
Handcrafted in Switzerland. Literally…not handcrafted halfway in Switzerland or handcrafted in a far away land, we're talking a handful of talented chefs in Lucern literally preparing every bite starting from milking the cow not too far from the shop's entrance down to the last detail of hand wrapped packaging.
Zuri Girl Tip: The truffles themselves take 3 whole days requiring 10 individual steps to create!
The Experience. You wouldn't be human if you didn't notice right away the samples in front every display using all your will power not to dig right in. But, that's ok, ladies…sampling is welcomed and the boutique staff are more than happy to help you. Don't be shy – have a try and chat it up with the friendly staff.
Zuri Girl Tip: The flavors & packaging change with the season. Think elderflower infusions in July and pistachio flavors in December. On 28 November, the boutique will turn into a winter wonderland.
The Philosophy. Max Chocolatier value Family, Craftsmanship and Exquisite Quality. After all, their initial opening day was 27 September, the birthdate of the man who inspired it all and the brand itself is named after the man's Grandson, Max, whose letter X may be seen discreetly and indiscreetly in all the chocolates and packaging.
Zuri Girl Tip: Select your own packaging…there's seasonal ribbon colors, Zurich themed wrap by Swiss artist Esther Gerber and 1 of 40 adorable note cards like "With Love from Zurich".

Wishin' and Hopin'
This article needs additional citations for verification. (July 2009) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
"Wishin' and Hopin'" is a song, written by Hal David and Burt Bacharach, which was a Top 10 hit for Dusty Springfield in 1964.

|"Do Re Mi"

|45 RPM single
|January 1964, Olympic Studios, London
|Burt Bacharach, Hal David
|Johnny Franz
|Dusty Springfield singles chronology
The song was first recorded by Dionne Warwick in the fall of 1962, and was the B-side of Warwick's single "This Empty Place" (also recorded in the fall of 1962) in the spring of 1963; the track was also featured on Warwick's debut album Presenting Dionne Warwick. Warwick's rendition became a charting single in France, reaching #79 in 1963.[1]
Dusty Springfield, who had heard the Warwick album track, recorded "Wishin' and Hopin'" in January 1964 at Olympic Studios. Personnel for the session included Bobby Graham on drums, Big Jim Sullivan on guitar, and the Breakaways vocal group. Ivor Raymonde arranged and conducted on the session for which Johnny Franz was the producer. The track was included on Springfield's solo album debuts in the UK: A Girl Called Dusty, and the US: Stay Awhile/I Only Want to Be with You.[2]
In February 1964, Springfield met with Burt Bacharach in New York City to listen to other songs to consider recording. Bacharach recalls at that time: "I [think] I tried to talk her into releasing 'Wishin' and Hopin'' [as a single] because she had some ambivalence about it."[3]
A New York disc jockey, Jack Lacy, began to play "Wishin' and Hopin'" following some encouragement from David and Bacharach, and Philips' US label issued it[4] as a single in May 1964; "Wishin' and Hopin'" broke nationally that June entering the Top Ten in July to peak at #6 on the Billboard Hot 100 (#4 in Cashbox and #4 Easy Listening).
The release of "Wishin' and Hopin'" as a concurrent UK single release for Springfield was precluded by the presence on the UK charts of Springfield's single "I Just Don't Know What to Do with Myself" – one of the songs Bacharach had pitched to her when they met in New York City in February 1964. "Wishin' and Hopin'" was recorded by UK band The Merseybeats whose inaugural single had been another song (reissued in 1982) from the Presenting Dionne Warwick album: "It's Love That Really Counts" (UK #24). The Merseybeats "Wishin' and Hopin'" peaked at #13 on the UK Singles Chart in 1964, the same week Springfield's "I Just Don't Know What to Do with Myself" spent at its #3 peak. Another UK male vocal group The Eagles also had a single release of "Wishin' and Hopin'", although it was the B-side of their non-charting single "Write Me a Letter".
Despite not being a UK hit single for Springfield, "Wishin' and Hopin'" was strongly identified with her in the UK public consciousness: she performed the song with the Merseybeats on the 8 August 1964 episode of Ready Steady Go! – actually both acts lip-synched to a track spliced together from their respective versions – and on that show's Sound of Motown edition broadcast 28 April 1965 which Springfield hosted, the only one of her own songs she performed was "Wishin' and Hopin'" with the vocal accompaniment of Martha Reeves and the Vandellas.
Springfield's recording was featured in the film, A Home at the End of the World (2004).
"Wishin' and Hopin'" was also featured in Tricks and Treats, the second episode of American Horror Story: Asylum.
Springfield recorded foreign language versions of "Wishin' and Hopin'" in July 1964: in Italian as "Stupido Stupido" – which was a combination of lyrics in Italian and English, the latter being newly written rather than taken from the original song – and in German as "Warten Und Hoffen".[2] "Wishin' and Hopin'" was also a hit for Springfield in Australia (#2), New Zealand (#3), South Africa (#2)[5], and Canada (#2).[6]
Other versionsEdit
Ani DiFranco's rendition of this song recorded in 1995 and released in November 1995, was featured over the opening credits of the film, My Best Friend's Wedding.[citation needed] That film, along with the Austin Powers films, is suggested to have led to the renewed popularity of the Bacharach-David catalog. [7]
Nancy Sinatra recorded a cover-version of the song for her 1966 album "Nancy in London"

Eastern USA, Trip Reports » 3 days ouachita womble trailsby ONEPLUSONEEQUALSONE
on the 3 days leading up to thanksgiving of this year some friends and i decided to take a little trip into the ouachita mts of western arkansas to test some gear and to have a little fun. we had 3 totaly different types of bikes and setups and here's a short report of what happened. josh had a carbon stumpjumper with a rear rack setup with most of his gear in panniers, jeremy had a newly builtup salsa fargo with a old man mt rear rack, girlfriend made frame bag and revelate designs handlebar sling setup. my bike was setup pretty much as i had it for a tdr attempt a few years back, a revelate design seat bag and a homemade (thx mom) frame bag that both worked perfectly then and now. tried and true is good. i also had just gotten a revelate front handlebar sling harness so i could go to a dry bag to keep things dry up front. i was a little worried about the sling but it turned out to work fine. the only mod i made was to tape a thin piece of wood across my brake levers to keep the bag off the cables. i am going to redo that design later. i carry sleeping and bivy bags in front dry bag, tools, 1st aid kit, water filter, a 100 oz water bladder with ext hose where i can drink on the roll in the frame bag and all extra clothing in the seat bag. food, toiletries in a wingnut waistbag and camera/phone/snacks in a cheap gas tank bag i picked up last minute at walmart. it worked pretty well but i will probably go with homemade/ revelate designs for the next one. forecast called for rain but pretty mild temps so we where betting the weatherman was wrong, he was right. light to heavy rain every day. anyway we decided to go for it and left out on the ouachita trail north of mena ar at foran gap. the oc trail is known for being rough and rocky. adding a carpet of wet leaves to hidden wet rocks made for slow going and a mile in i cut a sidewall. stan's out tube in. i had a set of kenda small block 8's laying around and decided to go with them. i should have known better and now have a heavier set of nevegals on order. i tried to save some $ and weight but it didn't pay off. jeremy on the salsa had no bike or gear issues but the rigid fork and rough trail had him testing rock hardness pretty regularly. josh on the stumpy had gone with a set of panniers on a cheaper rack and after several hours some bolts on it left us and the rack was riding on his rear wheel. after trying several ideas time was running out and he decided to go with removing one of the bags and strapping it to his back and slinging his camelback on his chest. (the pix i should have gotten) with little load left on the rack it worked well enough to get us going again. josh didn't look to uncomfortable but i am sure it was a pain to pedal sandwiched between bags. we had to get off the oc to make it to our first camp so we hit gravel making it in after dark. after setting up camp under a shelter (more rain coming) and some warm food it was time to hit the bivy sacks. during the night i heard the storm come in but being under a awning it was no problem. morning was cool but at least rain was lighter and after hot coffee and breakfast we did some bike repairs. i needed to install a better boot on my tire and josh was working on the broken rack. he stole a bolt from somewhere else on the bike and after some adjustments it was good to go. we headed out of camp on gravel to hit a section of arkansas epic trail known as the womble. it has much more flow and is a bit more bike friendly than the ouachita trail sections which where designed for hiking over biking so the second day went pretty smooth, only a flat at most. with more rain coming we decided to hit a spot on the ouachita with some small cabins and after the owner made us some burgers and threw our still wet and dirty gear into his dryer for awhile we where happy to get a shower and to dry off. of course it rained during the night but not a problem. day 3 was supposed to be more trail back to where we left the truck but once again rain was coming so we decided to hit road. 50 miles door to door but even with a stop at the cherry hill store for lunch and talking to the locals for a spell we made pretty good time. all in all we maybe got in only 100 odd miles of varied terrain but had a good time, found some flaws in gear choices we made, heard all of josh's chuck norris jokes and where happy to head home for the next day with family and friends.

Rapid Game Prototyping Workshop #gls7
Today I attended the hands-on workshop portion of the third annual GLS Educator Symposium. In my case, this consisted of "Rapid Game Prototyping," presented by Kevin Harris, Matt Gaydos, and Ryan Martinez of the University of Wisconsin – Madison.
At the beginning of the workshop we had a minute to come up with topic ideas, then one was picked out of a hat for everyone to work on. Teams of 2-4 people developed games to help with vocabulary. Rather than using computers, we were provided with paper, pens, post-its, play-doh, dice, tokens, and other artifacts. This helped us concentrate on game mechanics instead of technology.
After each group came up with basic ideas and tested them, then we played each other's games and provided feedback. We all got a fun experience with the first step in an iterative process of game design. For follow-up, the organizers recommended two books: Game Design Workshop and Challenges for Game Designers.
This "game jam" technique is something the UW-M folks have run many times – and they did a great job (there is even an annual Global game jam). It was an awesome way to spend two hours and I can totally see myself using this technique with a group in the future.

Restore Clean Water System
I try to encourage my family to drink more water than they do! I am lucky that my oldest & youngest sons like it but my middle son is not waters biggest fan. When the Restore Clean Water System arrived and we used it I was amazed that everyone seemed to up there water intake. I am not sure if it was because it was on the counter as a reminder or if it was the fresh clean water....Hmmmm either way this mom was happy!
Restore is a new state-of-the-art and innovative in home water purification system that combines filtration and UV Clean Technology. The difference with the HoMedics Restore Clean Water System and other water purifiers is that it does more than just filter the water. It actually purifiers. it claims to kill 99.9999% of Bacteria, 99.99% of viruses and 99.95% of Microbial Cysts from water using Germ Killing UV Clean Technology. The way this works is once you fill up your picture and replace lid, you simply flip a switch to purify . The UV light will come on once you tell it to purify and what is happening at that point is the UV light is removing bacteria, viruses and more. Restore Clean Water System is very easy to use. My 14 yr old & 10 yr old keeps and eye on it so they can be the one refill it when it is empty. It doesn't take long at all to fill up, plug it up and to purify it.
The only thing that would make this system even better is if it was a little larger, as a family of 5 we can drink the 8 cups of water it holds in no time .
Restore Clean Water System would me a perfect gift for the holidays, house warming gift or also great for a students dorm room.
Costs - $99.99.
You can follow HoMedics Restore Clean Water System on Twitter and Facebook !

If LandValue receives a request from a client for data in a certain area, we will contract with affiliate appraisers to provide community data based on criteria set forth for a negotiated price.
Can you transfer my current database records into the LandValue database?
Data from CSV and AgWare files can be migrated into the LVS database; contact your representative for information.
Is my data backed up?
From our images and documents to our databases, each component is backed up to secure, access-controlled, and redundant storage. Our platform allows for recovering databases to within seconds of the last known state, restoring system instances from standard templates, and deploying customer applications and data. If an additional back-up is required by the user or their organization, the user can export and save excel or PDF files, or alternatively, CSV downloads.
Who has access to my records?
The simple answer is: only the individual you allow to have access either through adding collaborators, or the level of security the user selects when a record is committed to the system. Each application runs within its own isolated environment and cannot interact with other applications or areas of the system. This restrictive operating environment is designed to prevent security and stability issues. These self-contained environments isolate processes, memory, and the file system using LXC while host-based firewalls restrict applications from establishing local network connections.
Why is GPS identification mandatory when entering a new comp record?
Because few farm and rural properties have legal addresses, LandValue Solutions made the decision to map all properties based on their GPS coordinates (Latitude and Longitude). While there are some situations where properties are not blocked up, the user will be required to select the best GPS location that represents the property. This is required to accurately locate the property.
How do I locate GPS coordinates for a property?
Mapping the GPS coordinates is easiest by entering street name, city, and county into the new record first. Next, select 'Open Map' from the top command action buttons and the flag will be in the center of the county. Click on the flag, then click on 'move flag' hyperlink and move the flag to the property location. When the flag is in the correct location, click the green check in the lower left-hand corner of the map. This automatically places the GPS coordinates into the record. Public Land Survey System map layer and Topo map layer in the bottom right hand corner of the map may be turned off and on to assist in correctly locating the property.
How are new records generated and saved?
When the user clicks on 'New Record,' hyperlink, a new record is automatically generated with a unique identification number and instantaneously saved in 'backlog.' New records are continually saved in 30-second intervals in backlog until they are complete and ready to be committed to the system as a searchable 'Saved' record. Records in progress can be closed by clicking on the small 'x' in the upper right and will be auto-saved in 'backlog.' Upon completing the record, the record owner can save records as 'private' or 'local' or 'community.' Private records are only viewed by the record owner and any associated collaborators selected by the record owner. Local records are viewed by the record owner's organization. Community records can be viewed by the record owner's own organization and any other co-organizations within the community.
What are the records showing on the dashboard?
The newest 10 records show on the dashboard at sign-in. These are records saved by the organization or as 'community' records by co-organizations. If the user has saved a 'private' record, it will show in the user's dashboard only. This enables users to view the latest data uploaded.
What types of comp reports are generated and how can I generate them?
Closed Sale Reports are generated by clicking on the orange locator pin on the dashboard or search map; or by clicking on the 'Generate Report' command action button within the report; or from the Search function. Reports can be exported to PDF or Excel.

So to follow up on all the "new" going on here, I thought it'd be appropriate to give a short update on what's been going on with me since I last wrote.
It's a new year obviously, so I've been trying to take it all in and ride out that feeling of a "new beginning"…though really it's more like a continuation of the year before haha. I'll take any good vibes I can get though.
I already mentioned the new look in my last post, but it stands to be mentioned again because I'm really loving it! For now I'm really glad that I've switched formats. There's less that I have to tweak and this template has some cool design features that I can't wait to take advantage of.Not only have I made an online move, but I've made a physical move as well! I'm no longer in MD, I'm in Virginia now. Yup, Vee-AY Vee-AY! haha…So far I am not impressed with it, then again people that I've talked to kinda hyped it up before I moved here. It really doesn't feel that different from where I was. The biggest differences are the shift in the demographic and the roads/traffic. Virginia…ya'lls roads and routes…forreal? Is that what's really good? Then add to that the perpetual construction, and you have me already missing MD within the first 2 hours. And that's tough because physically it's really not that far of a move considering how much the DC metro area covers so it nothing feels especially "new" about it. But I digress. I moved for more practical purposes anyway. I moved in with my mom so I can start saving money for a much bigger move out of the area. I have to say, downsizing the way that I did was a bit therapeutic. All I have to do now is stay disciplined in my spending habits, and focus on all the things I need to get done in preparation for the big move I planning for.
Finally, with a new year I have some new goals. Last year I did pretty well. I worked on and/or accomplished about 80% of the things that I wanted to do. Not bad considering how easily distracted I can get! This year, some of last year's goals have carried over and have been turned up a couple of notches. Some of my new goals actually pertain to what I do here on the blog, so I'll share those with you:
- Draw and/or paint more (at least 3 paintings before the end of the year)
- Visit more galleries and exhibit openings
- Create my own artist website
So hopefully I will not only succeed in those areas but be able to share the journey with you as well!
That's it from me for now. I have a bunch of stuff that I want to jump into so between today and tomorrow there will be more to see here. It's good to be back!

Liza has been enjoying life in Mallorca for over 38 years. Having worked all over the world touring with Qatari royalty as a private chef, Liza now runs a successful interior design company specialising in super yachts and is a part owner of an exclusive hotel in Formentera.
Following a recommendation from a trusted friend who already used Foreign Currency Direct, Liza contacted us as well as a number of other currency brokers.
With her life based in Mallorca, Liza had some finance to pay off following an impulse buy during a trip back to the UK; "I couldn't resist, whilst back in the UK I bought myself a rather expensive motorcycle and also one for my husband, and a new car too!".
Liza was paying off the UK-based finance monthly from Mallorca and getting a poor exchange rate from her bank so she decided to pay it off in one go.
Liza was looking to get the most for her money and was impressed with the introduction to the foreign exchange service.
I spoke to other currency brokers and it all sounded so complicated, but when I spoke with Steve he was so friendly and professional and explained everything so clearly.
Following the introduction from a close friend, and being so impressed by the initial conversation Liza decided to use Foreign Currency Direct to convert her Euros to Pounds and send them back to the UK. She commented "I was so impressed, I would email in and get a response either by email or phone within 5 minutes, it felt like I was Steve's only client - such a personal service". "Once I'd given the go ahead for the exchange I had the money in my UK account within hours! That was a deal breaker for me".
When asked what she particularly liked about the currency exchange service Liza said:
"My Account Manager was so attentive, the level of service was second-to-none. Everything was so simple, I just put the money into your bank down the road here and you took care of everything. Steve's calls were informative but there was no pressure, he was really friendly and professional".
First class service as ever from Stephen Eakins. Very quick and superb advice!!
Excellent service from Stephen Eakins as always. Manages to achieve a high standard of professionalism and efficiency combined with a friendly approach.
Sending money to France has been so easy. I was amazed at how simple the process was. Steve Eakins is a pleasure to deal with, no fuss or drama just a great, friendly attitude.

The Xiphos NT Weapon Mounted Light is a 3-volt rail-mounted LED pistol light that boasts 180 lumens of blinding white LED light at full power. The digitally controlled "smart" circuitry has been programmed to perform different useful functions while at the same time allowing ease of use under duress by the end user. These functions include the same "strobing" feature as on the Night-Ops Gladius, enabling the user to disorient a potential adversary and/or "visually distort" the perception of what a potential adversary observes. The "smart" circuitry has been programmed to optimize light output for the entire life of the battery giving an incredible 2 + hours of continuous light output. The Xiphos NT is designed to be activated with a single hand OR both hands using the ambidextrous digital pressure switch. The switch design is very versatile and intuitive. It can be activated either laterally across the "X" axis of the light (left to right or right to left) OR across the "Y" axis (forward to rear).
The "Cam-Clamp" Mount
The revolutionary design of the Xiphos NT features a patent pending "Cam-Clamp" mount that allows the user to quickly install this light onto almost all open and closed rail weapon mounts including picatinny rails, universal rails, and many other types of rail mount designs without the need of any tools. This clamp eliminates the need to slide the light down long rails, but installs directly in the desired location. The Xiphos NT has been designed to mount onto a pistol in an offset manner allowing it to be holstered in Blackhawk's "light mounted" Level 3 SERPA™ holster system. By designing the Xiphos NT to work in conjunction with the SERPA system this light/holster combination provides the most secure, versatile and most effective light/holster system available, where weapon security and rapid weapon accessibility are an absolute must.
The Origin of the Name
Night-Ops® has developed a revolutionary pistol light: the Xiphos™ (pronounced Zi-fohs, with a long "i" and long "o") "NT" (Next Technology), continuing the Night-Ops tradition of naming products after the military tools that changed history. The original Xiphos was a double-edged sword used by the ancient Greeks in battle. It was designed to be used with one hand and is thought by many to be the forerunner of the Roman Gladius. The Night-Ops Xiphos™ NT also has single handed multi-function operation and programming function changes. Additionally, the powerful beam pierces through all adversaries and obstructions in its path. Hence the name, "Xiphos™ NT".

Conservancy Opposes Plan to Lift Deed Restrictions at 28 Liberty
-28 Liberty Street, Lower Manhattan
--Proposed plan to elevate corners of the plaza
September, 2016
The Conservancy opposed a plan to lift the deed restrictions at 28 Liberty (the former One Chase Manhattan Plaza) and allow tall glass boxes on the plaza to break a height limit set in 1956. The proposal came before Community Board 1, Manhattan this week. All three glass pavilions would rise well above a six-foot height limit for buildings on the plaza, which was established when the International Style complex was being planned.
The original owners, Chase Manhattan Bank, agreed to the deed restriction in exchange for a taller tower that would rise without setbacks. This led to a sweeping, flat plaza punctuated only by a garden, artwork, trees, and the tower itself, all arranged in a precise layout. Construction of the complex was one of Lower Manhattan's first introductions to International Style design and planning concepts that would redefine the City's skyline and neighborhoods. This intrepid construction project helped to revitalize the declining Financial District in the 1960s.
In May 2015, we testified at the Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC) on an earlier version of the proposal, where we opposed a plan to elevate corners of the plaza. The revised proposal from August 2015, replaced those elevations with glass boxes that are 16 feet -2 inches, 17 feet -2 inches, and 11 feet tall. The LPC held a meeting without the opportunity for public testimony and approved the glass pavilions, acknowledging that the deed restriction would need to be modified.
We are concerned that if this modification is approved, it could set a precedent to allow other covenants, voluntarily entered to achieve outsized floor area ratio, to be set aside at a later date. Preservation cannot be allowed to devolve into a temporary convenience.
The city is developing new policies for public review of deed modifications following the controversy at the Rivington House. (See this article in the New York Times) Until those policies are finalized, the Community Board's review of the deed restriction modification is advisory only. The Community Board, which has been considering this issue since July, tabled the vote on a resolution until next month.

Gatti rossi in un labirinto di vetro, also known as The Devil's Eye, The Secret Killer, Wide-Eyed in the Dark...and best known to us American gialli lovers as...Eyeball...marks the second time Umberto Lenzi is mentioned this GIALLOWEEN season. And for good reason! Eyeball is one of those giallo films that you can never escape, regardless if you love it or *gasp* hate it...it is a film that sticks in your psyche and never gets out. Perhaps it is the music...or the look of the killer...or that goddamn tour guide...there is just so much going on in the film.
To discuss this film almost feels like a crime...unless you've seen it, of course...and even then...it's one of those rides that you want to hop on again. The basic premise that you'll find out there goes something like this:
A maniac Killer in a red cape and hood is killing off American tourists on a tour bus by gouging out their eyeballs.
Come on! Is that not awesome enough to invest 91 minutes of your time?! Trust me when I say...that Eyeball is cut from the same clothe that Strip Nude for Your Killer is cut from. Wildly entertaining and pretty damn intriguing, too. I mean...there are so many red herrings in this one to keep you guessing up until the very end and there's some really great shots found here and there. Plus that amazing soundtrack! Listen...if you are a fan of gialli who has seen it all...this one is a no-brainer. If you are a casual fan of the genre...then, you might wanna try out a few of Martino's stuff before you jump into this one. Speaking of Martino...John Richardson from Torso shows up in this. Kind of a Torso theme we have going on this week...hah!
Anyway...whether this is your hundredth time watching Eyeball...or your very first...the film is a ton of fun and always worth checking out...if even for the tour guide. Also, the film is super hard to find on DVD...so, I took the liberty of embedding it below for you. Why? Well...because I like you a lot, silly. Please enjoy...EYEBALL

The opposition leader has shown exactly where Gonski funds would be spent under Labor
May 11, 2016 | News | by The Learning Press staff
To see the proposed additional funding detailed by electorate click here
Labor has unveiled a seat-by-seat breakdown of how it will target an extra $3.8 billion in schools funding as it ramps up pressure on the Government over education.
The needs-based Gonski funding, to be raised through an increase in tobacco excise, would go to schools throughout the country under a Labor government and is one of the most popular features of the ALP's election platform.
The new breakdown shows NSW receiving the lion's share of funds with an extra $1.4 billion allocated, followed by Victoria with $815 million, Queensland with $725 million, South Australia with $355 million, WA with $330 million, NT with $100 million, Tasmania with $60 million and ACT with $25 million.
Education may prove a key issue this election, with public support for Gonski unwavering despite the Coalition repeatedly arguing that money is not the magic bullet to arresting Australia's falling international academic performance.
The PM has committed an extra 1.2 billion to schools over three years post-2017, tied to a series of measures designed to lift teaching and learning standards and make schools more accountable for how funds are spent.
While state governments are required to provide partnership funding under the Labor-backed Gonski model, Mr Shorten says he is confident of reaching agreement with states previously unwilling to commit to increased education contributions.
In the media scramble surrounding his first week of campaigning, The Guardian newspaper reported the following exchange:
Questioner: "School results haven't improved with the money allocated so why is more money the answer?"
Bill Shorten: "The only people who say more money isn't the answer are generally people who already have a lot of money."
Questioner: "You're proposing extra federal funding for schools but how will you ensure states like Queensland which never signed up to the last Gonski deals won't cut their education budgets or keep it flat lining?"
Bill Shorten: "There's been a change in the government of Queensland. Campbell Newman, who was remarkably belligerent in his negotiations with us - I think that was his modus operandi - the government's changed."
The Gonski funding would not equate to a "blank cheque" according to Labor's Your Child. Our Future policy document.
"This funding…comes with strict obligations and benchmarks on systems, schools and teachers, so that parents can track improvements in their children's learning," it states.
"Additional school funding is an investment, and we want to see the best possible return for every student, and as a country."

Today on The Lovely Nerds I am bringing you a review of what awaited me in my mailbox, TheBalm Nude'Tude palette.
My initial response to this palette is that it is a lovely selection of colors and the packaging design is nice. It's not too big but it's not itty-bitty. The shadows are a bit on the small size themselves.
The packaging itself, however, does leave a bit to be desired. The pans are not glued in properly. Some of them are sticking out of their wells on one side. It is sturdy, however, for a cardboard palette. It made it across the country through the mail still in-tact.
The eyeshadows are nicely pigmented and soft.
Sassy: Sassy is a shimmery pearl white.
Stubborn: in a pinkish-salmon shade.
Snobby: is a light golden color, leaning heavy on the yellow side.
Stand-offish: is a very shimmery light pink.
Selfish: is a nice light taupe.
Sophisticated: is a shimmery medium brown.
Sultry: is a matte, light warm brown.
Schitzo: is a light, shimmery warm brown.
Sexy: is a matte cranberry shade.
Serious: is a matte black, a little lacking in pigmentation but still a good black.
Silly: is a shimmery cranberry-brown.
Sleek: is a matte charcoal color.
« Pigmentation
« Color Variety
« The brush
« The packaging
« The price
This palette is very nice. The large mirror is useful and the shades are lovely. It's a very warm toned palette. The brush is next to useless, but they generally always are. The naughty version of this palette(the one I have) just adds a bit of flair to the palette with the naked ladies.
I would recommend this palette!
Overall: 4.5/5
Price: $$
Use: 4/5
Repurchase? Quite possibly
Thanks for reading :)

The American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 (H.R. 8) was passed by the United States Congress on January 1, 2013, and was signed into law by President Barack Obama the next day. As it relates to Estate, Gift and GST tax, the $5 million dollar exemption for individual estates ($10 million for couples) remains in place. Note that indexed for inflation, the $5 million dollar exemption is currently $5,250,000. Estates would be taxed at a top rate of 40% (up from 35%). In addition, the exemption amount (for gift, estate and GST taxes) remains unified and is permanently extended after 12/31/12. Portability of the unused credit is also made permanent.
This new law will certainly be something that individuals will want to consider in their Estate Plan and as such will want to visit with their financial, accounting and legal professionals to determine whether any revisions to their planning is necessary in light of this new law.
