Ending my recipe challenge with a flurry of treats
I may not have found time to write about doing so but I did find time to keep trying new recipes throughout December. My final three efforts of 2014 were Turkish Delight, French Chocolate Cake, and Beer and Mustard Bread.
I've been wanting to try making the Turkish Delight since being given Gifts From The Kitchen a few years ago, it just took me a while to brave my first attempt. This was a mixed success, it tasted good but I definitely didn't have the texture right; boiling for longer at the final stage is obviously required but it had reached the point that I was struggling to stir it and was getting blisters. The recipe was reasonably easy to follow and although it is time consuming and wasn't a great first attempt I probably will try again some time as I do love Turkish Delight.
The French Chocolate Cake, from the simply titled Chocolate, was a greater success; just as well as I was baking this as a gift. It was more complicated than my usual 'throw all the ingredients in the food processor then chuck the mix in a sponge tin' approach to cakes, but the recipe was well written and easy to follow and the results were (so I'm told) good.
Beer and Mustard Bread, from The Cook's Encyclopedia of Bread Machine Baking, was very easy to make; using the bread machine still feels a bit like cheating but it's a nice sort of cheating. I baked this as part of a Boxing Day buffet and I think it's fair to say it was good as I've never seen a loaf disappear so rapidly. Possibly the perfect bread to eat with cheese.
Which leads into
2015 Goals
- Try a new recipe from one of my cookery books each month.
- Try a different bread recipe every time I bake.
- Learn something new with each knitting project I do (the two projects I'm carrying over from last year are exempt from this).
January saw me start all three of these goals!
The recipe I tried was Broccoli and Cauliflower Gratin from Vegetarian Classics. I cheated and used a bag of broccoli and cauliflower florets rather than chopping my own, this was a mistake as they weren't well enough matched in size so I had to choose between extra firm cauliflower or soggy broccoli. I wasn't particularly keen on the yoghurt and cheese mix used a a sauce either, I think I would have preferred simple grated cheese or a more classic cheese sauce, the yoghurt flavour dominated. Not one I'm going to be making again.
The bread was far more successful than the supper dish. Chickpea and Peppercorn Bread from the same lovely book as the Beer and Mustard Bread. This doesn't use gram flour (which you might expect) but combines white flour with tinned chickpeas. The chickpeas blend into the dough and create a rich bread with a moist, slightly heavier crumb. It's delicious and filling; it also seems slow to go stale, I baked it on Saturday and it hasn't started to dry out yet (maybe that's partly thanks to the bread bin I was given for Christmas). I will bake this again but will probably omit the peppercorns to give myself more choice what I eat with it.
The knitting was the first of a string of selfish projects, a hat for myself.
The pattern is Sandra Dee's Nymandus Draculea and the yarn is King Cole Galaxy. King Cole seems quite a fine DK so I used 4mm needles, not the 6mm called for in the pattern, and put in an extra pattern repeat. The new, to me, technique was cabling; little, baby cables where just one stitch crosses another, but there were quite a lot of them. The cables don't show as well as they might in a slightly heavier and plainer yarn, but that's not necessarily a bad thing! I know that I was a bit clumsy with my cables at first, though they got neater as I became more used to doing them, so having a yarn that distracts from the slight unevenness of my cabling isn't such a bad thing. It took me about ten evenings to knit, I might have finished a little faster but I decided not to work on it when I was tired as I didn't want to risk too many mistakes (feline assistance led three or four dropped stitches I needed to rescue without adding sleepiness into the equation). I'm happy with my hat, I might even knit it again in slightly chunkier yarn, and, having bought more yarn than I needed, I have the next project queued to start using galaxy; the Railway Modeller will just have to get used to me in stripes!

It is difficult for some people to refuse trying again with an ex. When many relationships end, people tend to focus on the good times. They remember the very beginning of the relationship, when everything was perfect. Many people forget, or tone done, the actual reasons the relationship ended, instead wondering what could have been.
Since no one can rewrite history, they want a chance a write the future. But will the story have a happy ending if they try again with an ex? Or will the future be a sad story? It depends. In this article we want to help those contemplating whether or not trying again with an ex could be the best decision for them. Instead of covering the reasons to get back together, we will focus on reasons an ex should remain an ex.
Top 5 Reasons Trying Again with an Ex is Not a Good Idea
1. Getting back together with an ex is coming from a place of fantasy, not reality. The reality is that your relationship had good times and bad times. It would be a major mistake to focus on the good times, because that is not a good reason to get back together. The bad times are what should count most in your decision. Were those bad times because of incompatibility issues? If you are not compatible, that is not going to change. It means you are not right for each other. If you broke up during times of heavy stress from outside influences, that is something different. Stress is a part of life, but you can change how you both handle the stress if you address it properly. You can change how you handle things, but not who you are. If the problems in your relationship can be fixed by both of you working on them will allow you to see the reality of your relationship's future prognosis.
2. Getting out of another relationship is not a good reason to reunite with your ex. So many people are faced with fear and loneliness after a relationship ends that they make truly bad decisions. Instead of moving forward and finding someone new they do the opposite. They look up old relationships that didn't work out and try to start something up with them again. There are billions of people on earth, you aren't limited to a number of people to go out with. Sometimes an ex should stay and ex. Being lonely or afraid is not a reason to try again with an ex.
3. Being in an on/off relationship with someone else should not be used as a reason to get back together with your ex. You are only going to break up again. Getting back together isn't the problem, so trying again with an ex won't fix the problem. You keep breaking up all the time, and that won't be fixed by trying again. You already did that enough times and it didn't work.
4. If you are not looking forward to joining the dating pool, trying again with an ex is still a bad idea. It is scary to meet new people and put yourself out there. It may seem easier, safer, or any other excuse you can think of to fall back on an ex. However, this is never a good reason to try again with an ex.
5. Our final reason trying again with an ex is a bad idea is because you may not like what each other did while broken up. What you are used to is not always what is best for you. Instead of settling, be brave and go out and find what is best for you and what you deserve.
Before you choose trying again with your ex, take the time to think if it is really a wise choice.Copyright protected by Digiprove © 2017

Chris Haynes
ESPN Staff Writer
If the Golden State Warriors can create a max salary slot this offseason, the defending NBA champions could position themselves to secure a meeting with LeBron James, league sources told ESPN.
There is no indication that Golden State is evaluating such options to acquire the Cleveland Cavaliers star at this time.
A sign-and-trade scenario would be the most realistic way for Golden State to acquire James. The Warriors could build an offer around Klay Thompson and Andre Iguodala to match salary and tempt the Cavaliers into making a deal, according to ESPN's Kevin Pelton.
To make a sign-and-trade possible, Golden State also would need Kevin Durant to decline his player option and take even less than his current annual salary of $25 million, as well as moving Shaun Livingston's salary to a team with cap space. Golden State likely would have to fill out its bench with players making the league minimum.

Okay … I give up! I surrender.
When you can't beat 'em, then maybe it's smarter to join 'em
So here's the link to some beautiful free recital pieces
Easy Pieces for Budding Pianists
By now, all my loyal readers are probably well aware of my feelings about recitals. That in my crusade to encourage students to love music and enjoy it for the rest of their lives, I try to make their lessons a treat rather than an extension of their school work And demanding a recital a couple of times a year is too often stressful rather than enjoyable for many students.
But if the tradition of piano recitals holds firm, then perhaps I can meliorate the situation a bit by providing music which is both relatively easy to learn and is pleasing to the ear. And offer a few hits and tips along the way.
So here I have decided to share some compositions written specifically for early level pianists. There is very little well-written music for the beginning student with far too many unattractive dissonant mish mashes written to fill space in those early grade piano books. It is no wonder that so many students' interest begins to flag before they even have a chance to experience the sheer joy of playing beautiful music.
So I have composed a series of pieces which are pleasing to the ear and easy on the hands. They are designed to smoothly segue into the early works by the masters with many familiar chord sequences and simple melodic lines. . You will find no ugly dissonances to confuse the student. And each piece is accompanied by a few tips and hints on any difficulties to be encountered. I have also included a short You Tube clip which will show the student how each piece can sound when played well. And as a bit of inspiration for the teacher too.
Best of all, I provide beautifully formatted sheet music for each piece. If you print the music on heavy card stock, it is easy to turn pages and it will resist wear and tear. I spent months learning the method of creating scores online which could be printed reliably and beautifully on home computers by everyone. So please use them and enjoy.
And … the pieces are ideally suited for those recitals I so disparage.
You can find the collection at my sister site ..
Please feel free to download and share. The music is copyright ( © Nikki Ty-Tomkins ) but the only restriction I put is that any reprint or inclusion in other publications gives the proper attribution. Enjoy!

Contrary to popular belief, your teeth are designed to last a lifetime. Over the years the dental industry has made a killing selling the idea that we need to brush our teeth with toothpaste and chemicals in order to keep our teeth clean.
In a SHTF or long-term emergency scenario, tooth paste may be less accessible and we will need to fall upon more traditional means to clean our teeth.
Although certain foods can have a cleaning affect on your teeth, there are other natural alternatives that you can turn to keep your teeth and gums clean. Below are six alternatives to toothpaste that can be used to not only promote healthy teeth and gums, but most of these alternatives have antibacterial and antimicrobial properties that assist in preventing dental issues such as gingivitis, canker sores and gum disease.
Chew sticks – Traditional peoples the world over use natural tooth brushes made from healing plants. These primitive twig "brushes" actually work quite well, and provide a natural-bristle, disposable brush with healing herbs already incorporated right in the plant. People would chew on the tip of a twig to make it spread out into several small strands. They would then use it in the same way that a toothbrush is used. If this is the only option to brush your teeth, look for twigs that contain oils to help stimulate blood circulation, tannins that tighten and cleanse gum tissue and other materials, such as vitamin C, which maintain healthy gums. Bay, eucalyptus, oak, fir, and juniper and twigs of the neem tree are good choices to make primitive toothbrushes with.
Salts – Salt is a multipurpose prep that every prepper should have a good supply of. In the case of dental health, it is a mild cleanser that can be used multiple times daily or as a mouthwash to help with bad breath or used as a disinfectant rinse. Salt has a natural healing property to it, as well as removes plaque, tartar and bad breath.
Cleaning teeth – Mix one part salt to two parts baking soda after pulverizing the salt in a blender or rolling it on a kitchen board with a tumbler before mixing. It whitens teeth, helps remove plaque and it is healthy for the gums. Another recipe for cleaning teeth is one teaspoon each of ground sage, baking soda, and table salt.
Washing mouth – Mix equal parts of salt and baking soda as a mouth wash that sweetens the breath.
Baking soda – Baking soda is a classic amongst natural teeth cleaning methods, and is harmless. It is very effective in removing stains and killing plaque-causing bacteria, and it also reduces acids which harm your tooth enamel. Hippocrates recommended a mixture of salt, alum, and vinegar as a mouthwash for preventative measures. Here is a basic recipe for baking soda toothpaste:
- 1/2 cup coconut oil
- 1/2 cup aluminum free baking soda
- 5 drops peppermint essential oil
- 2 drops cinnamon or clove essential oil
Mix all ingredients together and use as you would normally for toothpaste.
Essential oils – Incorporating essential oils into your dental preparedness supplies can function as natural antibacterial and antimicrobial agents, as well as natural cleansers for a well-rounded mouth health. Essential oils such as peppermint and spearmint can be mixed with water to make dental rinses too.
Three popular essential oils amongst preppers are:
- Peppermint Oil – Peppermint essential oil is the most popular oil used for teeth cleaning. It helps freshen breath, kill bacteria, and clear sinuses. 5 drops added to your teeth cleaning regimen will do the trick.
- Clove oil contains eugenol, a natural pain killer and antibacterial. Mix 2 to 3 drops of pure clove oil with 1/4 teaspoon olive oil. Saturate a cotton ball with the mixture and place the cotton ball beside the tooth.
- Cinnamon oil – Cinnamon naturally contains antimicrobial and antibacterial properties and can help fight harmful mouth bacterias. Cinnamon bark oil has been known to effectively destroy 21 different types of bacteria. Rinsing with diluted cinnamon oil after you brush your teeth, or using a toothpaste made from cinnamon oil may help you kill harmful bacteria and prevent cavities. It's warming properties will also stimulate the blood circulation in gums. Note: Using cinnamon oil can cause some irritation and inflammation, therefore if you plan to use cinnamon oil, always dilute it first. If you suffer from any inflammation in your mouth, discontinue using cinnamon oil and the symptoms should disappear within 24 hours.
- 4 thieves oil – A combination of clove, lemon, cinnamon, eucalyptus, and rosemary, this oil possesses both antimicrobial, and antibacterial properties. A few drops of this oil can be used to prevent and treat gum disease, drops can be applied orally to maintain healthy teeth and reduce cavities, to clean teeth and be used as an effective mouth wash, or applied to gums and teeth for pain relief from toothaches.
If you are faced with swollen gums, nightly gum packs made from herbs or herbal infused oils rolled in gauze can be tucked into the corners of the mouth. In auyervedic medicine, a combination of turmeric, aloe, willow bark, vitamin E, and powdered alum can help relieve pain and swelling. If this regimen is regularly used and followed with a healthy diet and vitamin supplements, it can reduce symptoms significantly.
Hydrogen peroxide 3% – This product assists in healing canker sores, helps kill off bacteria living in the mouth, and fights gingivitis. There is conflicting information about the abrasiveness of hydrogen peroxcide on teeth, so to be on the safe side, dilute this product with water if you decide to use it in your mouth.
A mouth rinse can be made by mixing equal parts of water and a 3% solution of hydrogen peroxide. This mouth rinse should be swished (not swallowed) around the entire mouth for 15-30 seconds. Using the diluted mouthwash and then following it with your normal brushing regimen will thoroughly clean the mouth and teeth, as well as kill off harmful bacteria. Don't limit using hydrogen peroxide to inside your mouth, you can even clean your toothbrush with hydrogen peroxide after use to kill off any remaining bacteria that may still be left on the toothbrush.
Water – This is the most basic a person can get with cleaning their teeth. Brushing your teeth with water may not have any healing properties, but it will at least get any residual food off of your teeth. And anything is better than nothing at all.
To conclude, without our normal dental items being readily available to us during a long-term emergency, we may have to fall upon more natural approaches to dental health. Having supplies and possessing knowledge on natural alternatives to maintain healthy teeth and gums will prevent and may control any current issues from exacerbating.

Let the Light InJune 28, 2016
There is nothing I love more than huge windows like the ones above. HEAVEN! Let the light in. This fabulous home by Michael Haverland Architect in East Hampton, NY took my breath away. Aside from the fabulous windows the interior design is pretty spectacular, and well, the architecture is EVERYTHING. You must see the rest-
And the contrast to the facade-
What an interesting combination! Aside from the scale of the windows I have always loved a sunken living area. Everything about this house is enviable.
Loving the furniture? I just love the shape of the Kagan sofa. Here are some similar pieces-

This home is just stunning!ReplyDelete
I have to admit, the facade shocked me! With the floor-to-ceiling windows on the rest of the home, I frankly would never have expected that facade. Regardless, the whole house is truly beautiful! I love how the exterior doors blend in with the windows.ReplyDelete
Wow - just stunning!! I am such a traditionalist, but I still love the wall of windows and clean, modern lines. Hope you are having a good week, Albertina! xoxoReplyDelete
Insanely good! Those windows and that contrast with the front is so unexpected!ReplyDelete

The Truth About Joint Pain
Think about it...do you know anyone who has a bad knee or chronic back pain who says, "Yep, the pain is gone and I'm feeling great." It just doesn't happen. What you usually hear is, "Looks like knee replacement surgery," or "Heading to the doc for my next injection."
The truth is, doctors offer few good choices: drugs loaded with side effects, painful injections, or surgery. It's a band-aid approach that fails because it ignores the two real causes of pain:
But now everything has changed. Researchers have discovered the root causes of pain...
Finally, a better way to relieve your pain NuFlexol: Andrographis paniculata (ParActin®) - Reduces painful inflammation at its source
The development of NuFlexol began when a brilliant and well-respected researcher at the University of Chile, Dr. Juan Hanke, was a hired by a pharmaceutical company seeking a cure for the common cold.
During his research, he came across a rare herb called Andrographis paniculata—a plant with a long history of use in Ayurvedic and Traditional Chinese Medicine. During Dr. Hancke's work he discovered that an extract of this herb contained unique properties which stimulated immune response. This led him to the development of a standardized extract from Andrographis Paniculata. (Paractin®).
Dr. Hanke discovered that at higher dosages, Andrographis Paniculata actually helped fight inflammation and pain. Research shows that the Andrographis Paniculata in NuFlexol works directly on the immune system and enables it to block certain inflammatory chemical signals—the very signals that cause pain. The evidence is overwhelming.
Andrographolides in ParActin® have been shown in experimental research to exhibit cartilage-protecting activities and increase the production of cartilage biomolecules, including collagen, aggrecan and Hyaluronic Acid; thus, supporting healthy cartilage.
In clinical studies supplementation with 300 mg of ParActin® reduced the number and total grade of swollen joints, reduced the number and total grade of tender joints, and improved the quality of life in participating individuals. [1-4]
Biofermented HA Unfreezes your tightest, stiffest joints
Most people don't realize that a lack of synovial fluid (a lubricating substance found in the synovial fluid in and around joints) is the most overlooked cause of tight, stiff joints. That's where Part 2 of the NuFlexol formula comes in. Besides its pain-fighting and inflammation fighting Andrographis paniculata NuFlexol contains another joint-saving breakthrough Hyaluronic Acid that lubricates and unfreezes tight, stiff joints!*
Biofermented HA is Nature's most miraculous joint lubricant*
Hyaluronic Acid (HA) or Hyaluronan is widely distributed in body tissues and intracellular fluids. It is present in high concentrations in the synovial fluid, in the extracellular matrix of cartilage, and in the skin. Because HA is a highly viscous, retains moisture and contributes to synthesis of proteoglycans, it is responsible for facilitating smooth movement of our joints.
HA concentrations have been reported to decrease between 28 and 40 years of age. As the levels of HA decline with age and, consequently, the quality of the synovial fluid deteriorates, the stiffness and tightness of the joints prevail.
Several clinical studies have shown that administration of HA supports joint comfort and promotes joint flexibility and mobility. [5-9]
The HA in NuFlexol is pure and potent
The hyaluronic acid in NuFlexol is created under strict laboratory conditions
through a special bio-fermentation process It boasts a 96% purity level, compared to just 8%-30% for most other HA products. It also contains right-sized molecules which are readily absorbed in your system.
This means it gets into your system fast, it gets absorbed, and starts lubricating and soothing painful joints.*
I had stiiness in my hands which ached ever night and made lifting or gripping painful of day. Have tried many products but Hydraflexin has given great relief.
Have noticed improvement in pain
i took to one bottle, i think it works
This product should be tried by anyone who has joint issues and muscle issues you might be surprised how well it works.

Community agencies and institutions
Did you know that many organizations have worked with ILC to design tailored education programs within their own communities?
We work with a wide range of organizations and groups, including:
• Social service agencies (youth programs, literacy groups, group homes);
• First Nations groups;
• Labour and workplace entry support groups;
• Community-based access sites; and
• Correctional institutions.
Participating groups must be non-profit organizations and typically have a minimum of 15 students. You choose a participation level that suits your needs and serves the needs of your community.
How it works Expand Link
There are two levels of participation: information distribution and facilitated learning.
Information distribution
Community groups that offer information and referral services can suggest ILC as an option to learners who wish to resume their studies. Each group has an ILC facilitator, usually a staff member of the organization. The facilitator's responsibilities include helping students with enrollment procedures, motivating and encouraging students.
Once students are enrolled, the group arranges for student support and normally provides a study area. Some students attend "classes" on a regular basis, while others drop by when they encounter difficulties. Course material is sent directly to the students, but the facilitator can access marks online.
Facilitated learning
With facilitated learning, the group provides a classroom environment where students may complete ILC course work. The appointed ILC facilitator (usually a certified teacher) must approve all course requests and sign the enrollment form with the student.
Facilitators also monitor student progress and act as a liaison with ILC. Once students are enrolled, they may ask a teacher or mentor from the community for support and assistance.
All ILC course material is mailed to the ILC facilitator for distribution to students. The facilitator is also able to access marks online.
To learn more
Please call us at 1.800.955.8330 or 416.484.2733, or email us at firstname.lastname@example.com for more information or to find out whether your organization qualifies for our Group Program.

There is no other event similar to this for our segment of the industry and attendance is very beneficial whether you are a buyer in search of tools and equipment, an OEM, a retail service provider, a fleet representative, distributor, manufacturer, or there to simply take advantage of the unique networking opportunities to meet and greet executives from throughout the automotive industry. We had one-on-one meetings with Sears, Pepboys, Midtronics and ATEQ. With both Sears and Pepboys exploring Telematics and how it can improve overall customer satisfaction and boost profits, the conversation surrounding golo was very advantageous.

Hello Dear Aviation 24 friends,
During my trip to the US I had the chance to fly the 777LR domestic from Los angeles to Atlanta on Delta.
It was a very pleasant flight as the 777 is much smoother than narrow-body aircrafts especially when you fly far in the back of the cabin.
I was on an inbound flight from San Diego and had to transfer between terminals which was done by bus free of charge by Delta.
The flight itself was pretty quick as we had strong tailwinds, we reached a top groind speed of around 1110km/H.
Inflight service was great as the crew had a big smile on their faces and would provide passengers with complimentary drinks & snacks during the whole duration of the flight.
As an AvGeek, my favourite IFE is the wing view and the 777LR wing was all I needed on that 3H flight.
Nice sceneries, great airplane, great crew and an amazing windy approach & landing in Atlanta made my day.
Here I got a movie ready to share with you about my Delta 777-200lr experience.
This was a connecting flight from San Diego to Dusseldorf, you can check out both the San diego-Los Angeles Embraer 175 and the Atlanta-Dusseldorf 767-400er flights as well, I have a link in the description for them.
Hope you enjoy!

If any of you have seen Madagascar you know all about the giraffe. Well, a few months ago Abby Allen told me that the giraffe reminded her of Pete. Of course I got a good laugh but after time I forgot about it until the other night when we were watching the movie with the kids. The ending credits are the best, Melman is dancing and if you know anything about Pete you will agree that Melmans dancing and Pete's dancing are just about the same. I encourage all to check it out and hopefully you will laugh as hard as I did.

Temple Square Lights
We were able to head over and see the lights at Temple Square this year after a couple of years and the boys thought it was great. Of course Pete thought it was too crowded but it was family night.
Henry couldn't quite hold still long enough for a longer exposure so this is as good as it gets.
Pete in all his skills took these next few pictures, I think they turned out really nice.

Seven killed in US Terror drone strike in eastern Afghanistan
Afghan authorities say at least seven people have lost their lives in a US drone attack in Afghanistan's eastern province of Nangarhar.
Provincial police spokesman Colonel Hazrat Hussain Mashraqiwal said on Tuesday that an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) struck an area the previous day in the Samso locality, located between Lal Pur and Bati Kot districts of the province.
He added that the airstrike targeted a group of Taliban militants, and that those killed in the attack were members of the militant group.
Lal Pur district chief Haji Ghalib said that a local Taliban militant commander, identified by his nom de guerre Sparghay, was among the dead.
The Taliban militants have not yet made any comments on the incident.
On June 5, a drone strike in the Alishir district of Afghanistan's eastern province of Khost left at least 15 people dead. The victims were reportedly attending the funeral of a local tribesman. Two separate drone strikes in Haska Mina and Chaparhar districts of Nangarhar claimed at least 17 lives the day before.
The US has been conducting targeted killings through armed drones in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Somalia as well as in Yemen.
Despite Washington's allegations that the aerial assaults target al-Qaeda militants and other extremists, local officials and witnesses say civilians have been the main victims of the attacks in most cases.

All are invited to a multimedia presentation and discussion on Friday, April 7 at 2:15 pm in the Sterling Memorial Library Lecture Hall about Justice at Dachau – a two-hour presentation that explores the largest yet least known war crimes trials in history.
Told through the eyes of Col. William Denson, chief prosecutor, Justice at Dachau explores Denson's attempts to achieve justice for the victims of the Holocaust and the procedural and psychic obstacles he faced during the more than two years he worked on the trials. Special investigators working in the field of international law today recognize Denson as a pioneer of universal human rights, for which he received a Presidential citation shortly before his death in 1998.
The presentation, by Joshua M. Greene, is based on his critically acclaimed book, Justice at Dachau: The Trials of an American Prosecutor. Mr. Greene is a former adjunct instructor of religious studies at Hofstra University. His book Witness: Voices from the Holocaust, also critically acclaimed, was adapted for broadcast by PBS. In addition to being an author, Mr. Greene is a documentarian whose credits include Hitler's Courts: Betrayal of the Rule of Law in Nazi Germany and, most recently, Memory After Belsen: The Future of Holocaust Memory.
A reception will follow the talk. All are welcome.
Sponsored by the Yale University Library, Manuscripts and Archives and Fortunoff Video Archives, and the Lillian Goldman Law Library at the Yale Law School.

Becky recently posted the cutest little pocket card using the latest Saltbox Studio line. You can see her card here. It inspired me to create my own. I recently bought some patterned paper at my LSS on a mission to find paper specifically for the latest Saltbox Studio release. I found some gorgeous papers by Graphic 45 called the Baby 2 Bride Collection. I paired some of this patterned paper with Groovy Guava cardstock from Stampin Up to create this cute little pocket card. The sentiment is one by A Muse, while the cute little ballerina mouse is from the Mama Mouse & More set from Saltbox.

Campaign finance spending reports show GOP Gov. Rick Perry spent $41.7 million to keep his job.
Figures were released Tuesday in Austin, the same day Perry was sworn in for another four-year term. He's the state's longest serving governor, already with a decade in office.
Documents filed with the Texas Ethics Commission indicate Perry ended 2010 with $2.7 million in campaign cash.
Politics from around the world.
Former Houston Mayor Bill White spent $24.8 million in his failed Democratic bid for governor.
The Houston Chronicle reports the top political donors in Texas during 2010 were Houston trial lawyers Steve and Amber Mostyn, giving candidates and political committees $8.8 million. The Mostyns also donated $400,000 to the national Democratic Governors Association.
The latest campaign finance reporting period was Oct. 24 through December.

29th October - 4th November
6 weeks pregnant
Symptoms: Nausea and vomiting -worse in the mornings and evenings, and when I'm tired. Also some pretty strong food aversions, coffee is likely to make me want to throw up especially (unfortunate as Sarah is a Starbucks addict!)
Cravings: pears! Cold, sweet, straight from the fridge, pears. I've eaten about 4 a day so far this week!
Our baby is: tripling in size, developing facial features, and it's tiny heart will start to pump blood. (As we found out this week - our baby has a heartbeat!)
Our baby is the size of: a pea - Willow's favourite!
I have to say, since our embryo transfer, this pregnancy has been pretty plain sailing. Until the last day of week 5, when Lauren had a tiny amount of blood loss, and some pain. I had a meeting booked with my boss the next morning, and awkwardly she gave me a really amazing promotion, which I overshadowed by crying about how worried I was about Lauren! Luckily my boss is very understanding!
We were extremely worried, but luckily the next day had our first GP appointment, and mentioned it to the doctor, who booked us a scan at the early pregnancy unit. The next day at work, Lauren started bleeding a little bit again. We were again worried, and luckily as Lauren is a midwife, was able to go and be scanned in the early pregnancy unit at the hospital she was working in. And saw not only our baby's gestational sac, but…. it's heartbeat!
|The big black space is the gestation scan (zoomed ++), with the little circular yolk sac, and the brighter bit at the bottom of the circle is our tiny baby!
A heartbeat is a huge step, as the very kind Registrar that saw Lauren told her - it means the chances of the embryo going on and resulting in a baby being born are 90%. Apparently most miscarriages happen because the baby just never develops a heartbeat. We were so so happy that everything was OK!
The next day however, whilst Lauren was at work, she started bleeding heavily, and passing some quite sizeable clots. She was taken to see the consultant immediately, and called me on her way to say she thought she was losing our baby.
I was heartbroken. I was sat at home, just watching TV with Willow, and a friends puppy we're looking after, and just cried, desperately pleading for everything to be ok. I had previously not understood the amount of worry and panic that people pregnant through IVF pregnancies, but I certainly do now.
Lauren then phoned back to say...that everything was fine. What?!
The consultant couldn't see any reason for the bleeding, and reassured Lauren that it does happen during pregnancy, for no apparent reason. He said that there's a 93% chance that everything will be fine. Again, the scan showed a gestational sac, and a heartbeat, but our baby.
(The black circular space in the middle is the gestation sac, the little white dot on the bottom left of the sac is the baby!)
Lauren came straight home from work under strict instructions to rest, so that we did. The following day was Halloween, one of my favourite days of the year, and the perfect excuse to stay on the sofa all day, watching Halloween films, carving pumpkins and eating all manor of pumpkin flavoured things!
Since then the bleeding has completely stopped, and the nausea and vomiting Lauren is experiencing has certainly stepped up a gear. She now feel quite sick for most of the day, and only manages to keep down a proportion of the food she eats. Hopefully it means that our little one is growing pretty big and strong in there!
There are also some pretty intense food aversions - her diet has now been limited to dry toast, soup, plain pasta and veg with mashed potatoes. It's safe to say she's certainly feeling pretty pregnant right now, long gone are the days of "am I really pregnant? I don't feel any different!"
What a week! We are both praying that week 7 is far, far calmer...

For a series that preaches the virtues of silence and stealth, the Metal Gear series desperately wants to be heard. Kojima Productions has always been adamant that its games should contain some kind of jumbled ideology, even when the studio isn't sure what virtues it's actually trying to extol.
These aren't upbeat war games, then, but the big, bold and silly action movies of the 1980s are instrumental to their inception - there are hints of almost all of them from time to time, but notable reference must go to Escape from New York's eye-patched hero, Snake Plissken.
I find myself both loving and hating the series in equal measure, riddled as it is with such obvious and detracting waffle. Often confusing cerebral thought with nonsensical melodrama, Metal Gear Solid is a collection of utterly barmy games that ridiculously labour over the minute details while ignoring even the most basic of big pictures. And how come nobody else on the team has ever been brave enough to tell Hideo Kojima he's in desperate need of a half-decent script editor? Despite their myriad flaws, however, almost all of them are absolutely vital additions to the video game canon.
The Metal Gear Solid HD Collection is as confusing and compounded as the series itself, skipping the pivotal 1998 PSOne classic Metal Gear Solid completely. On the disc you'll find jazzed up versions of 2004's Metal Gear Solid 3, 2010's Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker and 2001's Metal Gear Solid 2 - the game's menu nicely lists them in their narrative mchronological order, too, which makes things just that little bit simpler. I, however, will tackle them in the order they were originally released:
Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty
The problem? Raiden.
It's not so bad when you play through it again, actually, and you've got to hand it to Kojima Productions for having the balls to pull something so audacious back in 2001 - nobody I knew had even the slightest idea Solid Snake's hotly-anticipated sequel would turn out to be a game in which he only had a passing role. But you can hardly blame the audience for hating the change of protagonist, especially after they rushed out to buy the sequel to Metal Gear Solid (and, in many cases, a brand new PlayStation 2 to play it on) only to find out the character they actually wanted to see was barely involved.
Metal Gear Solid 2 is a clever game, but it's also too smart - often coming across as pompous, condescending and unreservedly cocksure. Blinded by the success of the original game, the sequel takes its plot to an almost incestuous level to create a metanarrative about recreating the events of the first game.
There's a level of self-indulgence and pomp here that won the series as many fans as it lost, but today it's hard to tell how seriously you're supposed to take what's going on. Whereas the original had you battling against surprisingly affecting enemies like Vulcan Raven and Sniper Wolf, the second has you taking on a big fat man named Fatman (and, yes, I'm aware it's an elaborate reference to the atomic bomb) who attacks you wearing roller skates. Then, of course, there's the preposterous addition of Liquid Snake possessing Revolver Ocelot through his arm, and Metal Gear Ray - a robot that actually roars at you. What??
The version here is based on the Substance re-release of Metal Gear Solid 2, so it includes 300-odd VR Missions, a Boss Rush mode and the option to play some bonus Snake Tales and Alternate Missions. A gimmicky inclusion to skateboard around the Big Shell - originally bundled as a shill for Evolution Skateboarding, Konami's dire Tony Hawk's knock-off - has not made the cut, however.
Metal Gear Solid 2 hasn't aged well in the last decade, with textures now looking basic and washed out, but even now it's clear how Kojima Productions has an impeccable eye for detail; just look at the hazy feel rain effects on Snake's ill-fated journey through the game's opening Tanker level, for instance, or how the wind blasts through the ship's cabins (ruffling that precious bandanna) as Snake opens a door to the outside.
The real innovation to Metal Gear Solid 2's controls was its FPS control scheme, a step for the series that has been mirrored in every subsequent game, although this snap-to single-stick aiming feels lumpy and unwieldy in 2012.
It's more difficult to appreciate Metal Gear Solid 2 without having played the original, but this curious antique product will still tickle the nostalgia glands of anyone who was gaming at the turn of the millennium.
Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater
Metal Gear Solid 3 presented a much purer and simpler experience than the convoluted mess of the second game, and is by far my favourite entry in the series.
Setting up many of the mechanical frameworks that the series would attempt to recreate in later titles, Metal Gear Solid 3 tells the origins of the Snake that Solid, Liquid and Solidus would eventually be cloned from; I'd explain more, but we'd be here all year. Taking place in 1964, the hysteria and paranoia of the Cold War period is a natural home for the series' storytelling. Lacking the stuffy self-indulgence of 4, when the abundant space offered by the Blu-Ray disc let Kojima's fondness of overwrought cinematics spiral insufferably out of proportion, Metal Gear Solid 3's relatively simple plot contrasts with a set of complicated rules and settings that make it the hardest of the series to actually play.
Snake Eater casts aside the indoor environments of previous Metal Gear games and takes players through a Soviet jungle, giving players a camouflage meter alongside new mechanics such as CQC, stamina and injuries. There's a slower pace here than in previous games, putting the emphasis on blending into the environment and picking your time to strike.
For the first time in the series, then, Snake actually slithers. He also fights a preposterous boss who attacks him with bees, but the game's incredible sniper duel more than makes up for that. Other moments, too, such as a long ghostly walk where you're forced to encounter everyone you've killed, are some of the most memorable experiences I've had with video games.
There's also something about the way Metal Gear Solid 3 is told that makes it so special - often conforming to the same tropes that blight MGS2 and 4, but somehow elevated above them thanks to a deft juxtaposition with some of the series' most intricate and engaging set-pieces. Easily the most poignant and affecting of the series (and, unlike MGS4, this game actually knows when to end), its signature scenes - flower petals mixed with a sweeping score from Harry Gregson-Williams - are never anything less than beautiful.
Metal Gear Solid 3 was a game of soft colours and misty, tropical haze - the extra anti-aliasing complements the game's aesthetic far more than most HD remasters. It is still a gorgeous game, right down to its immaculate details: having the place names pop up in Russian as well as English was always a sharp touch.
The version present here is the Subsistence edition, which corrects one of the original game's biggest faults - the camera - and throws in versions of Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake. Other bonuses from the edition, such as the Secret Theatre, Boss Survival Mode and the Ape Escape tie-in mini-game Snake vs Monkey, are not included. There's also no Metal Gear Online, though this is no great loss.
It's no surprise, in my opinion, that Metal Gear Solid 4 and Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker went to considerate efforts to emulate Big Boss's original adventure - but neither manage to capture what made Metal Gear Solid 3 so special.
Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker
Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker is Hideo Kojima trying to cross a generational gap. Metal Gear Solid 4 was Sony's high-profile exclusive title for the PlayStation 3, but its icky convoluted mess was hardly a good entry point for series beginners -
Where was everyone? Western kids were screaming profanities down the microphone thanks to Call of Duty, but Japanese children were hitting their gaming maturity with Capcom's phenomenally successful Monster Hunter series on the PSP. Metal Gear: Peace Walker decided it would very much like a piece of that action, thank you very much - it even went to the effort of including some special Monster Hunter levels.
This is a pick-up-and-play Metal Gear designed for a handheld, giving you over 100 (though many are optional) quick bursts of content. There's a heavy RPG-flavour, as you recruit enemy soldiers and POW's into your militia gang and then grind yourself some better weapons and equipment. If you've got a PSP save file kicking around, it can also be imported into this PS3 version.
Controls have been scaled back from previous Metal Gear Solid games, thanks to the PSP's limited selection of inputs, ridding Snake of many of his abilities but ensuring its environments have been designed to compensate. Dual stick support has, however, been introduced in this HD collection.
Metal Gear Solid 3's immaculate sense of direction and authorship are completely gone, however, and in their stead are a plot and context that can politely be described as utter bobbins. The gut-wrenching final twist, awarded if you manage to progress through the entire glut of optional content, completely undoes the game.
Much of Peace Walker has been designed to be played co-operatively, and many Western gamers will likely find this HD Collection (and its online options) their first genuine opportunity to do so. Nowhere is this emphasis on the co-operative more apparent than in the game's boss fights, which are little more than routine wars of attrition as you all stand in a clump and fire off streams of rockets until the target keels over.
The game looks surprisingly good when upscaled on a console, but its blocky polygons are still somewhat lacking when compared to the wonderful job done on Metal Gear Solid 3. Still, it's a testament to the quality of the original work that a handheld title holds up this well under HD scrutiny.
Bluepoint Games has done an admirable job collating one of gaming's most unique, important and frustrating franchises. Metal Gear Solid has always been a complicated beast; a series with a pressing anti-war sentiment that seems to simultaneously revel in bombastic action flicks, set in a world where the cheeky upskirt camera shot is the only thing more important than an elaborate interrogation of the human condition. Kojima's oeuvre is as bold as it is hokey, and for all its faults this is an engaging universe that is never dull except for when it is.

Quiksilver File For Chapter 11 Bankruptcy
Published on September 14th, 2015 | by David Harrison0
This year Quiksilver lost 79% of its market value… Leading one of the biggest brands in skiing and surfing with no option but to file for chapter 11 bankruptcy.
Quiksilver said the global investment lender, Oaktree Capital Management will provide the company with the $175m (£113.73m) it needs to restructure "and fund its ongoing operations in the US and abroad".
The deal is still subject to court approval.
Quiksilver has reassured investors that its European and Asia Pacific businesses are still operating as usual.
Founded in Australia at the height of surf culture Quiksilver was epitomised by the Beach Boys' hit Surfin USA – in the 1960s as a board shorts brand. The company expanded across the globe and has sponsored the sport's biggest names.
After years of contributing heavily to the sponsorship of surf and snow sports, many are hoping for Quiksilver's survival and continued contribution to the extreme sports market.

Results tagged ' Mets '
Sources: Braves sign Billy Wagner
With the Winter Meetings still days away, the Atlanta Braves appear poised to mark one big item off their holiday shopping list. Fox Sports' Ken Rosenthal is reporting that the Braves will sign lefty closer Billy Wagner, "according to major league sources."
Wagner must now pass a physical before the deal becomes official. This will mark the first marquee closer the Braves have boasted since John Smoltz's days at the end of the pen.
According to Rosenthal's report, the one-year deal is believed to be worth $7 million and includes a $6.5 million vesting option for a second season that would kick in if Wagner closes 50 games in 2010.
Wagner, 38, is coming off Tommy John Surgery in 2008 that limited him to just 17 appearances between the New York Mets and Boston Red Sox last season. The lefty showed his power arm to be intact, racking up 26 strikeouts in 15 2/3 innings of work to go along with a 1.72 ERA in 17 outings. Opponents hit just .154 against the six-time All-Star last season.
During his 15-year career, spent with Houston, Philadelphia, New York and Boston, Wagner has accumulated 385 saves and stands to become just the fifth hurler in MLB history to surpass the 400 save plateau with a healthy 2010 campaign. Only John Franco (424) has more saves all-time by a southpaw pitcher.
Atlanta will give Boston a supplemental first round draft pick for signing Wagner, who as a Type-A free-agent was offered arbitration by the Red Sox prior to Tuesday's deadline.
The Braves have a very good chance of recouping that draft pick loss, however, as both Rafael Soriano and Mike Gonzalez (who were also offered arbitration Tuesday) qualify as Type-A FA's and would fetch first rounders back for Atlanta if they sign elsewhere.
This is a potential signing that I believed the Braves could pursue and had highlighted it prominently in my upcoming Winter Meetings Primer entry. Of course, that piece had yet to hit the Blogosphere before news of this signing broke, but rest assured it will still make an appearance. I just won't be able to claim any psychic connection this time around.
More to come as always,
NL East Arms Race: New York Mets
The moving and the shaking has not missed the National League East this hot stove season, with more than a few new faces joining East squads that are setting their sights on a trip to October. Atlanta brings a new look rotation into 2009, but their divisional rivals have made some big improvements as well. This installment of the "NL East Arms Race" delves into the pitching staff of the New York Mets.
Over the past three years, the Mets have been built to win, holding onto first place for large chunks of time before falling at the hands of the Phillies in the end. A near World Series trip in 2006 still fresh on their minds, the Mets have taken strides each off-season to bolster their squad. That trend continued this winter with a bullpen makeover.
When the Mets lost ninth inning man Billy Wagner to elbow surgery last season, they suffered through numerous late inning collapses and finished the year with 29 blown saves as a team. New closer Francisco Rodriguez comes off a record setting 62 saves last season for the Angels. Signing Rodriguez to a three-year deal was just step one of general manager Omar Minaya's plan to solidify the achilles heel of the 2008 Mets.
K-Rod will have help from another American League late inning star, J.J. Putz, who was acquired in a December trade with the Seattle Mariners. Putz will serve as the primary set-up man for manager Jerry Manuel. Lefty Pedro Feliciano and righty Duaner Sanchez will return to their roles in the pen this season and will be joined by right-hander Sean Green, who was also acquired in the Putz deal.
The Mets rotation will be the next place Minaya looks to fortify as Spring Training approaches. Johan Santana was spectacular in the second half of last season, but even his stellar work was not enough to lift the Mets above and beyond the September slide. The bullpen cost Santana a chance to win 20 games and likely take home his first Cy Young Award in the National League.
Minaya has already signed veteran right-hander Tim Redding to bolster the back of the rotation. Redding, who will be 31 when the seasons starts, revived his career while pitching for the Washington Nationals over the past two seasons. He tied a previous career-best with 10 wins and notched a career-high 182 innings in 33 starts in 2008. Still, Redding projects to be no more than a fourth or fifth starter in the Mets plans.
The Mets have turned their focus to bringing back lefty Oliver Perez, having lost out in the Derek Lowe sweepstakes. Perez, 27, was brought over in a 2006 trade with the Pittsburgh Pirates and promptly re-established himself with a 15-win season in 2007. His electric stuff is often overshadowed by his lack of command and penchant for bases on balls.
Perez, 10-7 with a 4.22 ERA in 34 starts a year ago, lead the National League with 105 walks last season and set career-highs with 11 hit batsmen and nine wild pitches. New York extended a three-year $30 million offer to Perez and agent Scott Boras, but those terms are far short of the reported five-year $80 million deal that Boras is believed to be seeking for Perez's services.
That figure is mind boggling for a pitcher who won less games in 2008 than Ubaldo Jimenez, Kyle Kendrick, Brian Moehler and Jason Marquis. Pitchers who matched Perez's win total from a year ago include Redding, Jorge De la Rosa, Manny Parra, Jeff Suppan and Barry Zito. None of those names can exactly be looked upon as impact players, but Scott Boras has a way with words and dollar signs. Just ask Zito.
Mike Pelfrey is a young talent on the rise, but more on the level of a Jair Jurrjens of Atlanta. Neither pitcher has the experience that makes them a bona fide number two starter in their teams' rotation. Going 13-11 with a 3.72 ERA and logging 200.2 innings in his first full season with New York, Pelfrey proved to be a key component when injuries sapped the rotation of Pedro Martinez and John Maine.
Speaking of Maine, his health will be absolutely vital the Mets hopes this season. In just 25 starts a year ago, Maine was 10-8 with 122 strikeouts in 140 innings before a strained rotator cuff put him on the shelf late in the year. Surgery to remove a bone spur in his throwing shoulder should have him back at 100 percent and ready to go this spring.
Prospect Jon Niese, 22, could also figure into New York's rotation with a strong spring, perhaps grabbing the fifth starter's spot. Niese has won 11 games in back-to-back seasons and is coming off a very solid campaign that earned him a September call-up. Last season, Niese was 11-8 with a 3.13 ERA in 29 starts, striking out 144 batters in 164 innings between Double-A Binghamton and Triple-A New Orleans.
If the Mets are unable to come to terms with Perez in a time frame that suits them, they could benefit from the standstill between the Yankees and Andy Pettitte and lure him away from the Bronx. The 36-year old Pettitte went 14-14 for the Yankees last season while logging 204 innings. A shorter term pact with Pettitte would not only save the Mets money, but also bring in a pitcher who carries 14 victories in 35 career post-season starts.
Till next time,
How Lowe can we go?
The really big contracts have already gone out this winter, but all the major players in the free agent pitching market are not yet off the table. Secondary pursuits should start to fill the empty seats for the clubs that missed out on the likes of CC Sabathia, and in the Braves case, A.J. Burnett.
Look, I'm just excited to see a pitcher who doesn't go by two initials attracted some attention on the market. It was starting to get a little weird. Although, I bet Derek Christopher Lowe would be more than happy to go by "D.C." if he knew it would land him the rumored $16 million per year over four seasons that he desires. Were it not for the fact that he will turn 36-years old in June, his track record and post-season experience would easily net him a bigger deal than Seattle handed Carlos Silva last winter (4-years and $48 million).
If the Braves were willing to go the distance in the Burnett bidding, only to fall short, then it would seem the money would still be available to put toward bringing Lowe to Atlanta. Injury was the question with Burnett, but age is the major point of contention for handing a multi-year deal to Lowe. His durability is not in question, however. Over the past seven seasons, Lowe has won 106 games and averaged 208 innings. Adding his veteran presence to that of Javier Vazquez and perhaps John Smoltz would give the Braves the experience factor. Throw in talented young right-handers, Jair Jurrjens and Tommy Hanson, and you could have the makings of a strong rotation. Tim Hudson will likely miss the entire 2009 season as he recovers from his Tommy John surgery.
Atlanta's interest in Lowe has been tepid at best thus far. It does not rule out their involvement altogether. However, to get into the bidding for Lowe, Frank Wren would have to approach the Mets initial offer of 3-year and $36 million that Lowe has already rejected. Also working against bringing Lowe to Atlanta is his agent, Scott Boras. The Braves history of signing and even retaining Boras clients is not exactly inspiring. It is doubtful that Boras and his team view Atlanta as anything more than leverage at this point, useful for driving up the price the New York Mets or Boston Red Sox would be willing to pay. Those two clubs also fit a certain criteria that every free agent is looking for, the ability to win now.
As most GM's do, Wren has other irons in the fire, including Japanese hurler Kenshin Kawakami. There are reports that he has narrowed his choices to the Baltimore Orioles, St. Louis Cardinals and Minnesota Twins. The AJC's David O'Brien reports to the contrary after speaking with Kawakami's agent this week. Perhaps Atlanta will remain in the mix. Kawakami will be 34-years old midway through next season, making him a few months younger than Hiroki Kuroda, who was signed to a 3-year $35 million deal by the Dodgers last winter. That price tag brings us back full circle to Lowe.
Though he may not be a clear ace, Lowe would fill Atlanta's off-season goal of adding two quality veteran starters. Lowe is not Jake Peavy, but that ship sailed long ago.
Till next time,

While it may not be enough, a capable antivirus solution should provide you with an imperative security layer that you could not compensate for in any other way on your own.
Protegent Antivirus is one of the tools that fall into this category since they can protect you from all sorts of intrusions starting from trojans and spyware to any other kind of worms.
First of all, it need be mentioned that the program includes two main components, namely the antivirus itself and Crash Proof, which banks on its recovery abilities.
But let's take one thing at a time. As far as the antivirus is concerned, you should know that its GUI is easy to navigate and configure, letting you carry out four different types of scans. To be more specific, if you are in a hurry, you may resort to a quick scan, whereas a full system scan should be for you if you want to be more thorough.
Other than that, a custom scan is once again among your options, letting you check specific folders, and last but not least, a removable media scan can be initiated, with the possibility of logging the results and event shutting down the computer at the end.
The quarantine is the place where you store suspicious files, which, it must be said, can be managed as you see fit. You can clear or restore the quarantine and easily juggle with your documents.
As for program's behavior during the scanning process, you can adjust it to spot low-risk programs, code emulations, and more, besides all the basic tasks it can carry out.
Plus, enabling real-time detection can also be done for folders, drives, extensions, or files, with the possibility of being prompted with a notification once malware is detected. What's more, there is an exclusion filter at your disposal in order to leave out harmless files. Another highlight is the scheduler, which lets you enable a scan on particular days and at a time of your choice.
Regarding the other component Protegent Antivirus packs, Crash Proof, you need to know that it ensures you can recover files following system formatting, coming with support for FAT 16, FAT 32, VFAT, NTFS, and NTFS5.
On an ending note, Protegent Antivirus is a powerful set of tools guaranteeing a high degree of security while interacting with your computer. It can protect you from all sorts of malicious instances while also giving you a hand when facing the perspective of data file loss.

Harry Truman summed it up best when he said that "the only thing new is the history you don't know." Apparently General McChrystal didn't get this memo. Neither did General MacArthur in 1950. Nor did General McClellan during the Civil War. (It's kind of hard to miss that all three Generals were Mc's or Mac's. Just one of those coincidences of history that probably have no meaning, but worth noting anyway.)
All this noise will pass rather quickly, as did the MacArthur incident. (For the best account of that affair see Chapter 24 of "Plain Speaking- The Oral Autobiography" by Harry Truman with Merle Miller.)
Our Government is based on Civilian Rule. The Commander in Chief is the last word in what the Generals do or don't do. It's that simple. And I find it a bit amusing that the biggest complaints about the President firing General McChrystal come from the Right, who are ever so "vigilant" about safe guarding our Constitution. They seem to be unconcerned by McChrystal's actions, which are, of course, in direct contravention to the laws contained within that "holy" document, not to mention the Uniform Code of Military Justice.
And "holy" is an apt description of the Constitution. I have several copies on hand. Two are in Almanacs, one is in my Heritage Foundation Pocket Edition, and the fourth is on my flashdrive, which is always with me. They represent, to me, who we are as a people and what we believe in as a Nation. We believe in Civilian Rule. We are a Nation of Laws. I hope that former General McChrystal understands that now.

Development of Cairns and Mourilyan Ports
Ports North's Port Master Planning Project has taken an important step forward with the appointment of an advisory organisation.
The appointment will see the organisation undertake a detailed technical plan that will map out options for developing the Ports of Cairns and the Port of Mourilyan over a 30-year timeframe.
Transport and Main Roads Minister Mark Bailey said the master planning process was fundamental to ensuring Queensland's ports had a long-term vision for growth and expansion while protecting the environment.
"This process will present a pathway for the ports to grow in a way that respects their place alongside the reef and the environmental values shared by the communities in which they are located," Mr Bailey said.
"Queensland's publicly-owned ports are a critical part of the state's supply chain and must be supported with a plan that will allow them to grow and increase trade capacity in step with our growing economy."
Member for Cairns Michael Healy said the plan will also look at how the port connects with the CityPort precinct and the Tropical North Global Tourism Hub development precinct, so there is a real opportunity to plan for growth across a range of industries.
The Port Master Planning Project for Cairns and Mourilyan was announced in April this year.
Ports North Chairman Russell Beer said the findings from a community survey conducted in April and May would provide an important base for the project team to continue to engage and seek input from key users, supply chain businesses and stakeholders around both ports.
"This master planning process is part of our fundamental commitment to supporting the economic growth of the Far North Queensland region," Mr Beer said.
"As the region grows, so too does our need to ensure our ports grow with it.
"Our process involves stakeholder engagement upfront and throughout each stage of assessment. This input will help shape our Master Plans and ensure Far North Queensland interests are at the core of everything we do.
"It will inform land use, infrastructure and operational decisions in a sensible and balanced way for the next 30 years."
The Master Plans at each port will include a range of financially viable growth and development opportunities to meet the future needs of the port, key port users and stakeholders.
These will be based on rigorous demand forecasting and operational analysis.
As part of the community engagement, a dedicated page on the Ports North website provides detailed information on the Master Planning process and will be updated regularly to keep stakeholders informed.
Drafts of the master plans for Cairns and Mourilyan are expected in 2020.

Introduction: MAKE YOUR OWN SEA-GLASS MULCH!
Ok so it isn't true seaglass but it is a decent approximation and one of the few ways you could get enough to really fill your garden. All it takes is an old cement mixer, a huge source of scrap glass and understanding neighbors.

This is just what I was looking for. thank you.
Gotta try this with the mixer we got from Freecycle!
Cool idea! Would be interesting to try porcelain plates or terra cottage pots to create a landscaping mulch. Thanks for sharing!
Awesome way to recycle used food jars into something beautiful. Not so awesome: Tossing a 60 year old Fenton hobnail milkglass bowl valued at approximately $75, into a cement mixer:(
Lol, it was broken.
") That makes me feel much better") You have a very fun personality for doing videos, hopefully you will do more") btw, how did the milk glass, sea glass turn out? My husband is dying to try this out. He made sea glass in a little tumbler a few years back, but it was way to much time and energy to make it worthwhile. Also, do you notice your electric bill going up much?
Naa the motor on the mixer isn't that big and it is not working very hard. The milk glass just turned opaque and broke into 50 cent piece sizes or larger.
What makes the glass that tinted blue color?
The natural color of the glass is amplified when grinding. Look at the edge of a fish tank, you can see that the sheet of glass from the edge is either a bluish or greenish color depending on what kind of class it is. The real light blue you can see in our flowerbeds comes from windows with that bluish edge tint. The vast majority of our glass is the other kind, must be less expensive so we use it as filler and sprinkle the nice looking stuff over the top.
I'll bet you could cut the noise in half by using 2 pounds of pea gravel instead of the hobby shop cutting medium you may also be able to take out the tines on the inside of the drum and insert a large rock to tumble with the glass it would cut down on the dropping inside the drum and just crush as it rolls
Great Ible im gonna try this in the summer ive always wanted a walkway made of this tumbled glass or sea glass it would be pretty
That is fabulous! I've wondered how you didn't cut yourself when you picked up the handful of glass
LOL. I tried this a few years ago, but couldn't bear the noise for half a week. Thanks for sharing, I needed this giggle!
When you scale up to the mixer it cuts the time to 8-10hrs but the noise is very much increased. I figure we have 30-40 loads all total over a period of several years so it adds up.
Interesting idea!
meth lab? funny as hell !
where I ive there is a place crushing glass and selling it to sand blasters.
great video

1. Re: DB upgrade from SQL 2008 to 2016Bill Robinson Jan 4, 2018 4:10 PM (in response to Neal Meagher)
the first question is if you've confirmed that bsa/bdssa 8.9 both support sqlserver 2016. did you confirm that first ?
if 8.9 supports the version of the database you want to upgrade to, then i don't think it matters what order you do the change over. as long as the database is up and reachable at the end of whatever migration you do and you have updated any changed configurations in bsa/bdssa then it should work.

8.9 supports 2016 across the board.
This is good news. I have started testing

Great Itunes (free) app - clean up duplicates.
Its a raining Saturday afternoon, so I am sorting out my itunes library. I am always having problems with duplicate songs and songs that are on my computer but don't make it into my itunes library. After a bit of googling I have found a great app, that is even better because its free and works like a charm.
Meta ipod
Basically you install the app, add any folders that contain your music. The app then scans the folders and your itunes library and highlights a number of areas including duplicate songs, and missing songs. The scan took about 20 min, but I have nearly 30 gig of music, so figured it would take a while.
After the scan you just click a button and work through fixing up whatever it finds, end result more music and less duplicates! A great way to clean up your library.
Let me know what you think of the application, if you decide to give it a go, I could not believe it was free for such a handy utility.

As you know, in a previous post I won the huge black Copic marker travel bag at the 10 second Marathon Run at Absolutely Everything, Topsfield, MA last summer and ever since, that is where my Copic pens have been stored.
Last night, I was coloring an image and was reaching for a color and the individual mesh basket inside this huge box spilled over---blah, blah, blah...<swear word here> ha-ha
After regrouping my mess, I was looking around my studio thinking... how can I store these on my desk so I can see each color in their proper color family without dumping them out onto my work station...
Kraft Parmesan containers - glued together with hot glue! BINGO! I glued two together and the hot glue did not distort their form and supported the weight of the markers...itsa go!
Now, we are not of Italian decent, but I guess big parm-pasta consumers and I have made it a habit of upcycling these wonderful clear plastic containers in my craft room. I have used them for buttons, doodads, giving a jar of Cricut pre- cut die leaves to my secret sisters and and now my Copic's!
My Copic's have a brilliant new home, lying securely at a 45 degree angle, on my desk in clear sight! I need to invest in some re-inker's to put my entire stash up there...and as my collection grows-I'll yank out the glue gun and add another container to the stack! Brilliant!
Question...Any ideas what to do with the Parmesan caps? I suppose I could use them for glitter or embossing powders--but the horror of the cap not being closed properly could really make my head spin!
*Note: Dishwashers melt the plastic-hand washing a must!

This sweltering Monday afternoon finds me camped out in front of one of our TWO window air conditioners. Wait. Don't you live in a two story house? Yup, that's right. And still only two air conditioners. They're like the Little Engines That Could, chugging away all summer.
The kids have *Thankfully* lined up their naps today, enabling me to enjoy these tasty guys from Trader Joes.
TJ's, why you keep doing this to me? Why you take all my money and then give me love-handles? Maybe we should break up.
Summer is halfway over. We've been enjoying the nice weather as much as possible and sweating and melting our way through the hot days. I used to try to stay clean on hot days. But now that I almost always have sweaty kids attached to me, I've given up the fight.
Alex says that he loves the smell of sweaty little kids in summertime. I did too, for about the first week of summer. Now it's just sweaty kids all time, and trying to figure out how the keep them dry and clean while still satisfying the desire/need to go outside is another fight that I've been giving up on.
Then I got a sweet little package from Lark Adventurewear in the mail and am feeling like maybe there is hope!
Lark Adventurewear makes breathable, moisture-wicking clothing to help keep your little people cool and dry while they're having their summer adventures. I have not come across a product like this before. It makes so much sense! We've got moisture-wicking active wear for adults, so why not for little kids and babies? Lark Adventurewear makes super cute clothing and pajamas sizes newborn-2T. I hope they continue to expand because I'd love to see something Johnny-sized in this fabric.
We got the Short Romper, and there are so many things I love about it. I love the cute pattern. I love that it has snaps at the top as well as at the bottom. Trixie's off-the-charts head size means that sometimes we can't get clothing over her head. Not the case with this! I love how soft the fabric feels and that it does seem to keep Trixie less sweaty. I also love that it has sleeves. I recently realized that most of the summer clothing I got for Trixie is sleeveless, and so I have to be extra vigilant about sunscreen for my fair-skinned girl. It's nice to have an outfit that covers her little shoulders, but is still light and cool. This is definitely going to be a wardrobe staple for us this summer.
If you think you could use some warm weather baby gear, Lark Adventurewear is offering 15% off your order with coupon code ANNA15. Take a look around their site and see if there's something for your little sweat bundle. Happy shopping!
