Hello all! Today is the first day of my daily blog posts. To start, here's my current work in progress for a super top secret Christmas gift!
Originally I started with the first picture, which was supposed to be a very sophisticated. We specified a closed mouth to keep him looking almost sombre, but yesterday I got a quick change of plans that the recipient might like a smiling picture after all. Since I wasn't too far along, we went with a more playful face and that's what I'm working on for today.
Hope you guys like it! Please check back for more posts daily, I'll try to keep updating as much as I can.

2) Next Session: 7 Oct "Outdoor sensors for realtime data in e-learning activities".
Webinar presenter: A/Prof. Kim Bryceson (University of Queensland, Australia)
Students today use electronic equipment to access information as never before. This session explores the idea that the availability of real time biophysical data from strategically placed outdoor multi-sensor mesh networks on the University of Queensland Gatton Campus and Farm Enterprises - and using these to develop problem based e-learning modules, will bring the outside biophysical environment into the students' world in an interactive, constantly changing and engaging visual way. This approach to bringing the environment into the classroom is applicable to multiple disciplines including environmental science, agriculture, building and construction, mining and transport, where real-time environmental data feeds could add greatly to the authenticity of learning activities and assessment tasks.
Sessions are hosted by Professor Geoffrey Crisp, Dean Learning and Teaching, RMIT University and Dr Mathew Hillier, Institute for Teaching and Learning Innovation, University of Queensland, Australia (Monash University from 5 Oct).
Starting UTC 07:00am (5PM Eastern Australian standard) time for 1 hour.

Americans become especially attuned to fairness in taxation when April 15 rolls around, but for people who are single, every day is tax day. When single people pay more than married people do,
Americans become especially attuned to fairness in taxation when April 15 rolls around, but for people who are single, every day is tax day. When single people pay more than married people do,
Well it certainly is an unfair situation,however, when I consider the odds of being in an unhappy relationship I'll get over paying more!
I know may happily married couples, but I know even more unhappily married couples! The unhappy ones are truly miserable and stay for whatever religious, ethical, or moral beliefs they have.
Pffft! With those examples of marriages today I'll stay single and pay more taxes. Let's call it me paying it forward, since I was happily married for 22 years, (my husband died suddenly ten years ago), so I'll call that fair 😉
A lot of these are not taxes. They are discrimination. Getting paid more at your job or getting chosen to move into a house is not a tax. A tax is when the government takes from you, usually money, without your consent.
Some of these are taxes though. They certainly are taxing single people more than married people.
Though it seems unfair that singles are taxed more, what is really unfair is that anyone is taxed at all. After all, there is another name for taking things or money from people without their consent: Theft. Taxation is theft.
My mother, a widow (single not by choice), recently had to sell her house for financial purposes, only to find that she will be taxed on capital gains of $275K. If she were still married, she/they would only have been taxed if the house's sale price had been $500K. How is it even remotely fair for a potentially two-income household to automatically and legally have almost twice the amount of money ignored by the government as a single-income household would?
Nobody mentioned that single people pay the same taxes as a family of four for the city and state they live in. Why should my taxes be the same when I don't have children that need $12K a year per child for public schooling? I put out 1 trash can a week for garbage collection. My married neighbors with kids put out at least 4 cans. The chances of me needing the police to come to my house is also 4 times lower. Why should I have to pay for a new turf field for the recreation department when I don't have kids that will take advantage of it? I use 1/4 the amount of natural resources and my carbon foot print is 1/4. My neighbors get tax breaks for having kids. Single people do not get any tax breaks whatsoever. Why? Because married people usually vote the same way and politicians cater to married people with children to get their votes. It's a 2 for 1 deal compared to single people.
We can complain about the unfairness of it. What can we do to resolve these problems? I am near retirement and I really don't care to live alone. I have looked at some of the roommates situations but most of them want young women. I live in a mobile home with two bedrooms. I don't need that. Also senior housing is really expensive. I am capable of cooking my meals. I am capable of cleaning my house. I'd rather live in a place where we have community kitchens and men and women's bathrooms. A sitting room would be nice and then I could have my private bedroom. I don't need all this privacy and solitude–in fact I'd rather not have it. I know it's fashionable to be introverted. I'd rather be an ambivert and save money to use on trips where I don't have to pay single supplement. On my last trip I stayed at a hostel. There were six of us in a room and it was great–like a slumber party. I don't go out to restaurants much–I resent subsidizing couples and families.
I strongly agree with most of this, BUT you're WRONG on item 18. Overwhelming evidence shows that children of single mothers run much greater risk of: teen pregnancy, drug use, delinquent behavior, criminal convictions, etc. The largest, most extensive survey of incarcerated individuals (prisons & jails) found their greatest common factor, by far, was NO EFFECTIVE FATHER FIGURE in their lives. Children of single FATHERS do better, btw, but an intact, 2-parent home has always been–and always will be–our best way to raise successful children, period. Anyone who denies this is IN DENIAL and probably a feminist apologist. Why did we not read about happiness comparisons of women vs. men, both single and married? After all, 70–80% of all divorces are filed by women, and men are far more likely to be emotionally & financially devastated in divorce courts. Post-divorce, men are 10X more likely to take their own lives and far more likely to live in poverty or be homeless, versus women, who get alimony, child support and government assistance, if needed. To compare happiness levels of 1.) married; 2.) divorced; 3.) never-married MEN would be interesting.
So what can we do about this? It's too bad that we have to pay a high price for being unmarried. I got divorced because I couldn't afford my unemployed husband who refused to work. We should be able to fight against single supplement. There are a lot us and I think we have enough in numbers to fight this. I went to a church that featured a singles camp out. Of course the leaders of the church were there. The cost of the camp out was $30 a family. If you didn't have a family then you paid the $30. There were about five of us who went as a group and each of us paid $30. I think as a group we should have gotten a discount.
This is the most validating, helpful thing I have read in a long time. As a colleague in academia, I read a lot of things.
Noting the grumblings about the thread not having a "solution," I just want to comment that if it were that simple, we wouldn't need this conversation in the first place. This is a deeply ingrained, institutionalized, culturally integrated disaster. Just like any other "ism," it permeates all facets of life and it's reinforced everywhere we turn. We stop seeing it, but it still controls us, we internalize it. The institution of marriage is not the path to love, partnership, mutual respect, equality or responsibility for children. Those are human gifts we can give one another on our own. We can celebrate relationships with ceremonies and gatherings and we can make promises without the government. If we believe in a higher power, we can ask for the blessing of that power without the government. The legal institution of marriage is a path to paternalistic control over reproduction and personal lives. Until I read this, I felt alone in thinking about these things. I will be looking for your books and lectures, as well as opportunities for advocacy. Thank you thank you.
I am single and figured long ago that I was taxed more than married households and those with children. I firmly believe the reason is the government/politicians want people to have children because they are needed as future workers. Especially among the lower classes for minimum/slave wage jobs and also to keep wages lower among the rest of the population. Therefore, I, as a single person, am being punished for not having children.

Microsoft Updates One Note For Android, iOS With Universal Interface
Microsoft's One Note is an impressive note taking application for the Windows platform which allows seamless transfer of notes. The Redmond giant has also started updating the application on other platforms. The company will be updating the application on Android and iOS with a more universal interface, which means that the app will look pretty similar on mostly all form factors.
According to a report from Engadget, the company had updated the iPad application with the new features but the iPad owners will have to download the application again to use the new universal interface. Microsoft will not have to recode the application for different form factors and use the features in the same fashion, for instance the user can access the notes from the notification shade on the iPad as well as on the iPhone. Apart from the new features the update will also bring in a few major bug fixes which includes a fix for the whiteboard capturing mode.
The Android version of the update will introduce some major bug fixes and we can also expect the Android Wear update in the coming weeks, which is already in the testing phase in the beta community.
Microsoft is emphasising on providing the latest updates on every platform possible. Recently, there were reports suggesting that the Redmond giant might be looking forward to shut the mobile phone business and only focus on software services which has always been their strong suit. The company has not confirmed any move officially and will probably not take such a major step before trying out the new Windows 10 Mobile operating system, which will be a dramatic overhaul from the current Windows 8.1.

The heavy-lift vessel VB 10,000 arrived Tuesday at the Golden Ray wreck site in Georgia's St. Simons Sound, where the specialized vessel will be used by salvage crews to cut and lift sections of the overturned car carrier. The Korean-owned Golden Ray, which capsized after leaving the Port of Brunswick in September 2019, will be dismantled in place and removed in sections. Salvors have installed 16 lifting lugs on the wreck to provide connection points for the U.S.-flagged VB 10,000, which has two 255-foot tall gantries that will use lengths of chain to cut the RoRo vessel into eight pieces and lift them onto barges for transportation to Gibson, La. for recycling.

Abstract: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is often associated with hypertension and other cardiovascular diseases. Blood pressure (BP) variability is part of the assessment of cardiovascular risk. In OSA, BP variability has been studied mainly as very short-term (beat-by-beat) and short-term (24-hour BP profile) variability. BP measured on consecutive heartbeats has been demonstrated to be highly variable, due to repeated peaks during sleep, so that an accurate assessment of nocturnal BP levels in OSA may require peculiar methodologies. In 24-hour recordings, BP frequently features a "nondipping" profile, ie, <10% fall from day to night, which may increase cardiovascular risk and occurrence of major cardiovascular events in the nocturnal hours. Also, BP tends to show a large "morning BP surge", a still controversial negative prognostic sign. Increased very short-term BP variability, high morning BP, and nondipping BP profile appear related to the severity of OSA. Treatment of OSA slightly reduces mean 24-hour BP levels and nocturnal beat-by-beat BP variability by abolishing nocturnal BP peaks. In some patients OSA treatment turns a nondipping into a dipping BP profile. Treatment of arterial hypertension in OSA usually requires both antihypertensive pharmacological therapy and treatment of apnea. Addressing BP variability could help improve the management of OSA and reduce cardiovascular risk. Possibly, drug administration at an appropriate time would ensure a dipping-BP profile.
Keywords: sleep apnea, ambulatory blood-pressure monitoring, beat-by-beat measurements, blood-pressure dipping, morning blood-pressure surge

Description: At a large, tastefully-appointed Sneden's Landing townhouse, the Deputy Mayor of New York has just shot himself. Though only a flesh wound, four couples are about to experience a severe attack of Farce. Gathering for their tenth wedding anniversary, the host lies bleeding in the other room, and his wife is nowhere in sight. His lawyer, Ken, and wife, Chris, must get "the story" straight before the other guests arrive. As the confusions and mis-communications mount, the evening spins off into classic farcical hilarity. The New York Times in describing the play wrote, "(Rumors) has nothing on its mind except making the audience laugh." From Samuel French, Inc.

Hands Up for Health Day
23rd June 2017
What a day! Our Hands Up for Health Day is over and we have had the best time learning about keeping healthy.
We had all kinds of different activities running throughout the day. Everyone started with a whole school 'Wake Up and Shake Up' to get us active and awake then moved to their different activities. Sessions included 'Healthy Selfies' where we learnt about different healthy foods by doing secret smell challenges, feely bag fruit and dressing up for selfies, 'Jumping Jen's Boogie Bonanza' dance class, 'Totally Relaxed' relaxation and mindfulness sessions, 'Parachute Fun', 'Healthy Curry' making, 'Action Art', and a range of outdoor sport activities in 'Come Outside'.
Our Healthy Star Ambassadors (who helped to organise the day) were leading on sessions making delicious fruit kebabs, giving out stickers for healthy choices at lunch time and holding a celebration of the day in assembly this afternoon. Everyone said that they had learnt a lot from the day and we loved sharing our new skills and facts with the whole school.
Huge thanks to the Halton Health Improvement Team who were also on hand to support us and lead on different activities throughout the day.

I love Trader Joe's. They have such a wonderful selection of food, and they're so much more reasonably priced than Whole Foods or the like. Hence, it pains me when I see a recall there, which I do see every now and then. Today, I saw a flier at the checkout announcing a recall of diced onions because one bag was found to have listeria monocytogenes.
All the packages are printed with a use by date of 6.16.07 and lot number 2017-R. Call (800) 348-2255 for more information.

Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy skis. That doesn't mean you should run up your credit card to buy a new pair of planks. Instead, we added skis under $675 MSRP into our annual SKI Test to see just how good they are compared to the more expensive models found in the 2020 Gear Guide. We classify these as Value Skis, and—spoiler alert—there are some jaw-droppingly great skis at or below this price point.
To create the Value Score, we take the ski's overall test score, multiply it by 1,000, and divide it by the ski's MSRP. This means that the lower the price, the better the ski will do, unless a) It's a truly terrible ski, or b) It's astoundingly great, albeit slightly more expensive. There are no category prerequisites, and these skis run the gamut from frontside to all-mountain wide. Make sure you know what category suits you before putting a pair in your shopping cart.
Looking for Men's Value Skis? Find them here.
BEST IN TEST: K2 Mindbender Alliance 90C
There are two kinds of Mindbenders: those designed to rip at speed, and those designed to playfully maneuver the frontside. This is the latter. The new 90c Alliance features K2's carbon spectral braid combined with an aspen veneer core, making for a light, forgiving ski with enough backbone to navigate resorts confidently, especially in mixed snow and in moguls.
K2 Mindbender Alliance 90C Value Score: 6.52
Learn more about the K2 Mindbender Alliance 90C
Völkl Yumi
Ladies found the Yumi uncharacteristically playful, easy, and forgiving thanks to tip and tail rocker and a responsive multi-layer wood core, claiming it made turn initiation a piece of cake and even liked to smear in the bumps. Testers recommend the Yumi to those in search of a playful all-mountain ride.
Völkl Yumi Value Score: 6.25
Check out detailed scores for the Völkl Yumi
Blizzard Black Pearl 82
Like the wider Black Pearls, the Black Pearl 82 features Blizzard's women's-specific design with a forgiving tip, playful turn radius, and a smooth, stable flex pattern. The result is a versatile frontside ski that prefers groomed terrain but will also tackle bumps and crud when driven by a determined skier. The Black Pearl 82 also has a knack for damping chatter.
Blizzard Black Pearl 82 Value Score: 6.02

Armada Victa 93
An incredibly playful and forgiving ski thanks to a springy poplar wood core and slight tip rocker, the Victa 93 was designed to cruise the whole mountain. Made with lighter materials and no Titanal, the Victa 93 is likely to squirm at high speeds but is maneuverable and playful enough to give intermediates confidence to explore.
Armada Victa 93 Value Score: 5.89
See more scores for the Armada Victa 93
Check out more great women's all-mountain skis
Nordica Astral 84
A close cousin of the all-mountain, fun-loving Santa Ana line but with Nordica's Dobermann race heritage, the Astral 84 is designed to combine the best of both Nordica families: superior edge grip on groomers and hard snow, with a playful personality that also shines in variable snow and terrain.
Nordica Astral 84 Value Score: 5.50
Find more info about the Nordica Astral 84 here
Salomon QST Lux
The QST Lux 92 is oozing with new technologies: a wood core reinforced with Salomon's Ti Power Platform, a tip-to-tail blend of carbon fiber and basalt, and Cork Damplifier technology in the tip and tail. This tech makes the ski a seriously damp, stable ride. Testers appreciated the versatile charger that can be trusted everywhere.
Salomon QST Lux Value Score: 5.44
See all of the Salomon QST Lux's scores
The Best Women's Value Skis of 2019
Every day at the annual SKI Test, testers have a debrief about their favorite skis of the day. There is usually consensus around the best, the worst, and the biggest surprises. This year, nearly every discussion heard the phrase "I can't believe that was a value ski!" The scores reflected it: Most of the following skis would have been ranked in the 2019 Gear Guide, but luckily for skiers on a budget, these boards were in the Value category.
There are a few rules for this category: The MSRP must be at or below $660 (or $850 with a binding), and the ski has to perform on par with the rest of the models at the SKI Test. Any type of skis are welcome. To generate the value score, we take the ski's test score, multiply it by 1,000, and divide that number by the retail price.
Nab these blue light specials before they're gone.
Best in Test: Armada Victa 93
This ski made testers wonder why anyone would spend more. The metal-free Victa 93 is lively, forgiving and cheaper than its higher-end sisters, yet it was still knifey and powerful enough for our expert set. It's grippy, stable, energetic, effervescent, and finishes a turn with strength and confidence. "So fun and poppy," said Kimberly Beekman.
Value Score: 6.94.
See all the scores and specs of the Armada Victa 93 here.
Faction Prodigy 1.0x
A newcomer to our test this year, Faction's new Prodigy 1.0x wowed testers with its versatility and playfulness. A soft tip absorbs bumps and chop, and yet it holds well on edge and never wavers when you really step on it. It's both grippy on groomed and maneuverable in the soft stuff. "Super user-friendly," said Stephanie Humes.
Value Score: 6.15.
Get more nitty-gritty with the Faction Prodigy 1.0x here.
Nordica Astral 84
Soft, easy to turn, nimble, and patient with those who haven't mastered the carve, the Astral 84 incorporates Torsion Bridge technology, which is a light-weight Titanal grid that's layered onto a balsa wood core. A winner on groomers. "Great for ladies looking to break through the terminal intermediate phase," said Georgie Bremner.
Value Score: 6.07.
See the finer details of the Nordica Astral 84 here.
Dynastar Legend W84
The Legend W84's five-point sidecut offers a big sweet spot and a more playful feel. Testers loved the way it could be both mellow and a hard-charger, noting it always puts you in the driver's seat. It felt stable, smooth, and grippy on groomed without ever feeling locked-in. "A joy to ski," said Marina Knight. "Refreshing and confidence inspiring."
Value Score: 6.02.
Read more about the Dynastar Legend W84 here.
Blizzard Sheeva 9
Blizzard expanded its freeride Sheeva line this year to include this sexy little ripper. Built to be more playful in softer snow than the directional Black Pearl series, the Sheeva 9 possesses both strength and integrity, yet the ski is never demanding and remains versatile in every terrain. "You will feel like a hero on this ski," said Humes.
Value Score: 6.02.
See all of the Blizzard Sheeva 9's scores and specs here.
Salomon Aira 80 Ti
The Aira 80 Ti is more of an all-mountain ranger than a wasp-waisted carver. Its poplar wood core is über light, carbon fiber and flax layers provide torsional rigidity, and a metal power plate underfoot stabilizes. It had a unique feel that testers described as "buttery" with an easygoing nature. "I felt very relaxed on these skis," said Tracy Gibbons.
Value Score: 5.82.
See more details about the Salomon Aira 80 Ti here.

The Queue: Who are you and what are you doing here?
Really, I'm confused. We may have to do a roll call.
Q4TQ: How many heritage armors do you all have unlocked? How many do you plan to do?Today I unlocked mag'har meaning I now own all the Horde sets, my holy cow is ready to get hers when 8.2 drops and well I'd be a pretty bad goblin enthusiast if I didn't have the Cartel exalted. I also own the void elf, Kul Tiran, and dwarf sets with my mind to exalt Gnomergan this week and do Lightforged next then Dark Iron.
I have unlocked zero heritage armors. Collecting them just really does not interest me at all, particularly when (for Allied Races), I need to level a character from scratch to get them. That just sounds exhausting.
However, there are — or will be — two exceptions to this. I will obviously be getting the Gnome heritage armor because it looks amazing and also … I'm already a Gnome! No effort required!
The other exception is Blood Elf. That armor also looks great, and I have lots of fond memories of playing that character, which was my main from Burning Crusade to Cataclysm… just I haven't had a chance to level her to to 120, and until I do, the armor remains out of my reach.
I applaud those of you who have been leveling everything… but dang, I just don't have the energy or the enthusiasm.
This should be a Mitch queue I tell you! A MITCH QUEUE! All ya'll are heretical heathens. Every day we stray further from Mitch's darkness.
I understand why you're upset. Change is scary. We all fear it, even if we pretend not to. It's okay to be afraid.
But you don't need to be afraid for very long, because Mitch will be back tomorrow. You haven't lost him: you've just time-shifted him.
Q4tQ: Actually I'm in favor of keeping the world content gear rewards as they are. But I think there needs to be more middle range content that is challenging and progressive for players that isn't raiding. Content that like Legion's Mage Tower.
Blizzard is giving players lots of higher end gear in world content that's equal/better than what I'm getting doing Heroics Raids and because of RNG I can successfully do a whole raid without getting a piece of gear.
While the current gear rewards system may create a good player experience for the 'casual' player that's a very underwhelming experience for the raider who puts most of their time into raiding.
My actual solution is to change the old out dated idea of gear being the form of reward for successful raiding. Make item level as an entry point into the levels of raiding. Then normalize everyone gear like they do in PvP (where gear somewhat matters) and give rewards like transmog sets, mounts, pets, titles, etc for raiding.
Do you think that Blizzard needs to change the current gear as the reward system? If so what changes would you like to see?
The roll-the-dice loot system we have can be really frustrating, particularly when the RNG never seems to wind up in your favor. But at the same time, I still think raiding needs some kind of tangible reward beyond titles and transmog.
Part of the journey through a raid is the feeling that you're growing more powerful as you go, and that's all about getting loot. The bosses at the end of the raid are harder than the bosses at the beginning of a raid, and you can only defeat them by gearing up. Certainly, Blizzard could redesign how raids work to suit a PVP template style of play… but I think that would really cut into why we raid in the first place: the thrill of not only defeating bosses, but of growing more powerful as we do it.
I've been raiding heroics this expansion, and more than anything loot drives my enthusiasm… and it seems to drive my raid team's, too. I'm pretty eager to go when I still have loot I'm looking to collect, but when I have everything I need, my attention really starts to wander. Raid attendance starts to drop. We have trouble beating bosses we used to beat just because no one's quite bringing their A-game. I think this is even worse in BFA, because the complexity and difficulty of some of these bosses is incredibly high.
So how do you dial down the RNG while keeping loot a part of the experience? It's a problem Blizzard has tried to address before with tokens that could be used by several different classes to get loot and with alternative currencies like Justice Points. I like the idea of a currency system you earn by doing content precisely because it does take the randomness out of things: you know that even if you don't get a lucky drop, you'll be able to buy a piece of gear (eventually).
The closest thing to that in the game is Titan Residuum, which lets you buy Azerite gear — but I've personally had trouble with this because the best way to get Residuum is running Mythic+ Dungeons… which I haven't done at all this expansion. So there is some kind of system, it just isn't doing anything for me.
Back to the question: I think a currency system on top of a loot system is the best answer here. It lets you enjoy the thrill of random loot (when you get it) while giving you a reliable way to earn gear if you aren't so lucky. But Blizzard seems to have moved past the Justice Point (etc) idea, so I'm not sure what's coming next.
2 Disney Characters Enter (2DCE): Anna v. Elsa?
Anna and Elsa would never fight and it's terrible that you would even suggest it!
…but if they did (accidentally), I'm pretty sure Elsa's got this one.
Q4tQ: What do you listen to when you play the WoW game?
It varies. When I raid, I turn the music off (but leave other sound effects on) so I can focus in on important sounds… and the voices of my teammates. That's pretty important, too. When I solo, I usually leave the game music on. When I'm doing something tedious and grindy, either the TV is on in the background or I'm playing whatever Apple Music is telling me I like this week. (Note: Apple Music is actually a fair predictor of my tastes. Except when it isn't, of course.)
Q4tQ I haven't been paying attention, are the prices of the exalted rep flying mounts still ridiculously high on the PTR?
They used to be ridiculously high, but now they're more ridiculously high. When they were first added to the PTR, they cost 50k gold. Now they're 90k. So… I hope you have plenty of gold knocking around if you want to add to your mount collection.
Also: you look familiar somehow…
And that is all, my lovelies. To reassure your withered, worried hearts, Mitch will be back here tomorrow to answer your questions, so the week's long nightmare is either almost over or just beginning.
Either way, have a great Wednesday.

I've only ever known Entenmann's from their delicious foot long danishes. They were a mainstay in my house growing up. It's probably been close to 20 years since I've had one, but the flavors are still fresh in my mind. Apparently Entenmann's is known for much more than just their danishes, though it's taken me this long to figure that out. They aren't exactly first in my mind when it comes to snack cakes or donuts, so I've never really paid attention to them. I guess that's why it took a bright orange box to get my attention.
Initially, the box is what sold me. The bright orange works well as a Fall or Halloween color. I dare you to see this color and not think of those cheap candy chews wrapped in black or orange wax paper.But, Entenmann's didn't just dip their box in some orange paint and call it a day. They went ahead and festooned the box with the most Fall-y of accoutrements, pumpkins and dead leaves. And a pine cone. Just look at that upper right corner in the first picture, and tell me that doesn't look just a bit spooky. I look at those leaves, and I think about every horror movie I've seen that takes place during Halloween. There's almost always a ton of dead leaves blowing around in those streets, because basic maintenance services are the first to go when a masked serial killer strikes.
As you move down the box though, things get a bit lighter. Moving away from the scary leaves, your eyes are drawn in to the bright, almost inviting pumpkins. There's nothing at all frightening about those pumpkins, except for maybe the way they kind of surround the donuts. Maybe they're just trying to protect them. Moving right, there's another pumpkin off by itself that appears to be cozying up to a pine cone. It's a strange romance, but I'm not one to judge. As Entenmann's says on their box, "Everyone's got a favorite!".
Enough about the box, everyone wants to know what they taste like, right? Well, I'm happy to report that they are delicious. They have a faint spicy aroma when you first crack the seal. It's very subtle, and it's almost overwhelmed by the smell of glazed cake donut. The same goes with the flavor. Initially I was disappointed by the lack of pumpkin taste. You might be tempted to just take a bite, chew and swallow. And hey, why not? That's how every other donut is supposed to be eaten. After making my way through the box, I find these are meant to be savored, like a fine wine.. Take your time eating these, and you'll be rewarded with a spicy flavor that would otherwise go unnoticed. Let the kids eat Krispy Kreme, these are donuts for us refined adults. Oh, did I mention that the donuts are orange too? They are. Very, very orange.
If you're curious about some of Entemann's other seasonal offerings, go check out their website: Entenmann's. The best part is they give you a store locator that lets you see where you can find certain products. That means no more driving from store to store trying to find your favorite seasonal snack.
So go out there and get yourself a box of pumpkin donuts from Entenmann's. They get two decaying thumbs-up.

Rice man winneth
Jacques Diouf, a Senegalese diplomat, is the surprise choice to succeed
Edouard Saouma as director-general of the UN Food and Agriculture Organization.
He was elected by FAO member states in Rome last week.
An agricultural economist, Diouf was Senegal's UN delegate, and led
a controversial rice-growing programme in West Africa ('Will rice turn the
Sahel to salt?', New Scientist, 9 October). He says his chief aims are
to combat food shortages in Africa, and make food distribution fairer worldwide,
but he has made no promises about reforming the FAO's huge bureaucracy.
Diouf's election is a surprise because the favourites to win the post
had been Australia's Geoff Miller, or Rafael Moreno of Chile. But the rich
countries opposed Moreno, as he was the much criticised Saouma's chosen
Third World delegates, who make up the majority at the FAO, backed
Diouf as a compromise Third World candidate.

I'm also experiencing problems since the latest update. Current version (220.127.116.11) Win Phone. Phone will not update. 1.18 GB Phone memory free, 7.8 GB free on SD card. New bugs since update is offered include crashes, Heroes surviving raids but going through revive mode after treasure screen. I might try uninstalling and reinstalling the entire game from my phone.

Warning: A non-numeric value encountered in /home/northcyp/public_html/wp-content/themes/publisher1/includes/func-review-rating.php on line 212
Warning: A non-numeric value encountered in /home/northcyp/public_html/wp-content/themes/publisher1/includes/func-review-rating.php on line 213
New Delhi: Indian Army chief General V.K. Singh Friday withdrew his petition demanding that his birth date be treated as May 10, 1951. His lawyer said the dragging row has been "gracefully" resolved.
Gen Singh took back the plea after the Supreme Court warned that it would dump his petition if he did not withdraw it.
Gen Singh's lawyer, Puneet Bali, said later that Attorney General G.E. Vahanvati's statement that the government had not questioned the integrity of the army chief was enough to satisfy them.
"The matter has been resolved amicably and gracefully," Bali told hordes of journalists in the court complex.
He said the army chief had repeatedly maintained that he was fighting for his "integrity and honour" and not to seek an extension of his tenure that ends May 31 this year.
"This was the only battle we were fighting," Bali said. "The honour and integrity have been restored. It is not about tenure. We are absolutely satisfied.
"Once the attorney general's statement has been made, nothing remains. We are clear in our mind.
"We do not want to agitate further… It is the end of the matter."
The army chief went to the Supreme Court Jan 16 insisting that he was actually born on May 10, 1951, and not a year earlier as claimed by the government.
Gen Singh's counsel U.U. Lalit earlier Friday told Justice R.M. Lodha and Justice H.L. Gokhale that they were no more pressing for the reconciliation of his birth date — as shown in his school certificate.

It's super cool that you know about the
intricacies of photosynthesis! In plants, just
like humans, water is everywhere. It is the
base molecule that most liquids in the plant are
based off of. In the chloroplast where the grana
are, water is everywhere. Both inside and outside
of the grana, water moves around.
There is one unique part of photosynthesis
that occurs within grana with respect to water
molecules. H2O is split into H+
(protons) and O2 (which is what we
breathe!). This is the only place in all of nature
where water is split by biology. Crazy! the
ions are used to create chemical gradients and
power photosynthesis while the O2 is
released into the air around the plant. Hope that
answers your question.
Grana are stacks of thylakoid membranes,
which means that the fluid both inside and outside
of them is water. A water molecule is just part of
that fluid. In order for photosynthesis to work,
water has to get broken apart into hydrogen and
oxygen ions, but most of the water just stays

"You're not that great with kids are you?"
"No. So don't ask me to be godfather."*
But if it means being able to pull pranks like the one in this video, sign me up.
You may recall, this was a particularly popular Vine that had people up in arms/laughs about a year ago. Because everything has a cycle, the original footage has now started trending too.
While taking care of his niece Sylvia, uncle of the year Ricardo Pozo took the opportunity to teach her a very valuable lesson – never trust uncles.
When it first went viral, response to Pozo's video was polarised ("that's child abuse"; "that's hilarious") but we can't really see the harm.
Sure, she may have extreme PTSD and flashbacks for the rest of her life – but the 'likes', guys, the 'likes'!

So You Wanna Be… A Criminal Mastermind
The So You Wanna Be… series consists of several how-to guides that may serve as helpful resources when deciding upon a career. Each issue will feature one article that lays out a step-by-step plan for aspiring criminal masterminds, female wrestlers, reconnaissance officers, and the like.
DISCLAIMER: FanGathering and the author of this article are not responsible for arrests, lawsuits, and bankruptcies that may arise in the abuse of such guides. These guides are for infotainment purposes only. Read at your own risk.
So you wanna be a criminal mastermind, eh?
Let's get things straight from the get-go: it is not an easy task. Usually, one major requirement in the criminal mastermind department is a rich (no pun intended) history of criminal activities in the family. The more criminally prominent your family is, the higher the probability that you are genetically predisposed to inheriting the traits that make a brilliant criminal mastermind. If you are indeed born into a family with an impressive criminal record, then look no further beyond this point. You may already be a criminal mastermind yourself. 😉
For the poor wannabes who are not as fortunate as their criminally-gifted counterparts, fret not! Being born into a family of criminal masterminds may give you an edge, but it is also possible to become a criminal mastermind. It is hard work, but it is possible.
Are you ready? Then let's begin.
Step 1: Making Sure You're Brilliant Enough.
Let's face it: criminal masterminds ought to be highly intelligent despite of the moral implications brought upon them by their chosen profession. However, it never really is about morality when it comes to a life of crime. Criminal masterminds have no morals, though they do have a lot of what people would call 'smarts'. If you have an IQ of 450 and above, then you're all set for Step 2. If not, make sure that you follow these IQ-building exercises that I shall tell you about.
Well, there really are no IQ-raising exercises, I lied. However, there is one thing you can do to raise your IQ: think. Think of a cure to cancer, or a fool-proof plan to stop Global Warming. Think of existing things, and think up of many hypothetical things as well. Think about thinking when there is nothing to think about, and think about not thinking when you wish not to think anymore. You get the drill. Proceed to follow these next steps when your IQ reaches 450. Of course, you can still read them anyway, if you want to.
Step 2: Making Sure You Can Afford It.
Business-minded people need money to help them fund their fledgling little start-ups, and since being a criminal mastermind is almost like a business, the same notion goes for the life of high crime. Common petty thieves are not criminal masterminds; they're poor lazy bums who don't plan ahead. You want to be a criminal mastermind and perhaps exploit some unexplored species, or steal from super secret Swiss banks. In order to do all these things, you should be able to get some funding for your equipment.
If you don't know where to get your money, you can try two things. The first option is for you to ask your parents for money. Convince them that a life of crime is worth their investment. If you are successful, well done. If not, you can try another person, like Santa Claus. As early as January, you must begin composing your letter to the jolly old man. Tell him that instead of giving you such pointless presents, why not give you money instead? Wouldn't that be more cost-effective? Doesn't it make more business sense? Tell him that sending you money would save his poor little elves' valuable labor–and that is a win-win situation for everyone. If you succeed, then you are on your way to becoming a criminal mastermind. Almost.
Step 3: Making Sure That You Look Good.
Common criminals look like trash; criminal masterminds look class. If you want to lead the life of high crime, you must first look respectable–fashionable, even. Trade your jeans and sneakers for some smart slacks and genuine leather shoes. Keep all jewelry to a minimum, but wear real ones, if you have to. Leave all of your youthful clothing behind and embrace the timeless beauty of millionaire chic.
Aside from the obvious clothing requirements, looking good also involves your facial expression. Now that you have decided that you will now become a criminal mastermind, lock up all your emotions and throw them away. A criminal mastermind does not make funny faces. A criminal mastermind does not laugh boisterously. A criminal mastermind may only laugh–sparingly–when the situation permits, and must always be prim and proper. Remember to look classy all the time without really trying too hard.
Step 4: Making Sure That You Have Some Minions.
A criminal mastermind must have at least one or two minions near him. This is where the money comes into play. Most of the time, criminal masterminds have to pay their minions, but sometimes, when minions prove to be loyal, you don't have to do this since they will work for you for free. In order to make sure that your minions are loyal to you, you must make sure to keep them in constant awe. Now this is where your 450 IQ comes into play. A cardinal rule in criminal mastermindery is to make sure that your minions are less intelligent than you are.
Now where to look for minions? Simply put up a sign outside your door along the lines of, "WANTED: Loyal Minions Who Wish To Pursue A Life of Crime. Rewarding Pay and Awesome Criminal Mastermind Employer Awaits. Inquire Inside." Your minions will take care of your weapons, equipment, and execution. It's that simple, really.
Step 5: Making Sure That You Have A Plan.
Now that you have your brains, money, looks, and minions, all you need is a plan. You need a lucrative prospect, preferably in the field of the arts, sciences, or finance. Make sure that nobody knows your entire plan, but at the same time, be ready to trust your minions. Also make sure that you have several backup plans in case your plan doesn't work. But of course, you're now a brilliant criminal mastermind, so of course your plan shall work!
In extreme cases, your backup plan must also involve several alternatives to a life of crime. In extreme cases.
If all else fails, don't blame this guide.
If you were brilliant, you would know what infotainment means. 😉
Good luck on your chosen career!

Stained Glass88
For over a thousand years stories of Christian belief and great moments in British history have filled the windows of our cathedrals and parish churches. The glow of painted and stained glass, its radiant colours and vivid pictures, has inspired generations of audiences and artists.
This beautifully illustrated book traces the development of a unique art from its earliest beginnings in Anglo-Saxon England to the present day. It includes fascinating descriptions of medieval and renaissance glass, the religious upheavals of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries which saw thousands of windows destroyed, the rebirth of the craft in Georgian and Victorian Britain, and the pioneering of exciting new styles and techniques by modern artists.
Explanations of how stained glass windows are made, the secrets of medieval glaziers, the subjects that can be seen and where the best examples from the seventh to twenty-first centuries can be found add to its pleasures.

Towards the watery end of Harris Street in Pyrmont, a new steely grey café with a Melbourne feel has opened. They deliver a notch above the usual café fare for weekday breakfasts and lunches. In the next month they should also be open for breakfast and lunch on Saturday. It's also in the pipe line for them to be a Wine Bar some time in winter under one of the new licenses, which will of course require another visit (yay)!
The menu has an emphasis on fresh local and imported Italian produce – the Olive Marinate ($4) contains excellent Green Sicilian Olives (amongst other things) which I enjoyed a lot, not least of which because of how wonderful they looked on the plate.
I was also impressed with the Salumi Misti ($19) which shone with a lovely selection of cured meats and zingy house-made cornichons. One of my dining companions felt it was over-priced, however I thought the quality of the meats justified the price tag - we shared it three ways.
There's also a nice selection of salads - the Insalata di Trevisio ($14) was full of roasted trevisio, caramelised onion, grilled pancetta and parmesan, and it was my personal favourite. I also found it unusual to have a type of lettuce roasted in the oven.
But I also enjoyed the Insalata di Fagioli ($9) which was full of crunchy, fresh, seasonal beans - go health!
Chef Charles Bruyere (ex- La Sala, Aria) does a great job in the kitchen with mains like Fresh Rolled Squid Ink Spaghetti ($16) paired with calamari, tomato and oregano. This was a really filling, wonderful dish with great flavours. I liked the textural elements of it too, and the fact that they're making the pasta in-house.
For a bargain lunch, try their great Pizzette of the Day ($8) – when I dined it was Frusta with Sopressa Salami, tomato, mozzarella and rocket – which is (impressively) served folded on a wooden board. It's a lot larger than my photo depicts, again we shared it three-ways.
You can dine inside or enjoy the ambient temperatures shaded by umbrellas outside - I even got a little bit pink from the sun on the afternoon I dined. The Di Lorenzo Coffee ($3.00) and assorted biscotti ($2.00) are also strong points. The only hiccup is that the only bathroom available is currently across the road at The Point Hotel – a small price to pay for an excellent all-round dining adventure. I can barely wait until they also serve wine (and by then, they will have an accessible on-premises bathroom). Keep in mind it's only small (26 seats, 12 outside).

As a pup I dreamed and wondered what life would hold in store. For me, I thought there's something great! Beyond that kennel door. Out there are needy people and I have much to give; love, and wit, and gentleness to help them learn to live.
I'd be someone's protector, keep little ones from harm, pr guide an old man's weary steps, or help to run a farm. I'd run and bark and jump and play with friends along a sandy shore, I'd roll in meadows thick and green that lie beyond that kennel door.
I lay here waiting-longing, as the days and years went by; my owner kept me fed and brushed, but inside, let me die. I do not think of greatness now, I'm old and filled with pain. My owner has some ribbons, But I have lived in vain. I cannot think of what could have been, my dreams are filled with hope no more, just floor and walls and broken heart Behind this kennel door.
Please, give a dog a home. You won't regret it.
Don't forget to Spay or Neuter a pet!
More pictures of cats and dogs on DEATH ROW!!
This little kitten was asleep in its kitty litter!
Speak of finding not one, but two needles in a haystack. The two dogs were found yesterday. I'm a little scared by the thought of being the mistress of such a big critter family - 29 cats, and now 12 dogs!
One of the two men I'd offered the very handsome reward had already given up a couple of days ago, but the other persisted so he got all the reward money for himself.
Early Saturday morning, the man came and picked me up in his truck. The dogs were at the dog pound, and had been caught 8 miles from where they had been dropped off. I was told that the German Shepherd had a micro chip, and they had called the owner, but she wouldn't answer the phone. I told them that I wanted to adopt both dogs. I filled out LOTS of paper work, with LOTS of rules, and paid a total of $216.00 for both. This money is for spaying, neutering, micro-chipping the female dog, and changing the mirco-chip on the German Shepherd into my name, vaccinations, and adoption fees. I won't be able to bring the female dog until Monday and the German Shepherd until November 10, because the owner has priority over me until that date. One of the rules I MUST follow is that I'm NOT to keep them tied. I'm a little worried about this, because the female dog is so big and agile, that she can easily climb my 7 ft. rock fence to get to my front yard where my cats are.
I'm very happy that the dogs were found and will soon be in my possession again, but I'm also very sad, knowing that so very many dogs and cats are euthanized daily.
I took just a FEW pictures of the countless dogs and cats that will be dead in 3 days. Most of them were asleep, and wouldn't even stir when I'd knock on glass. Others would look deeply into my eyes, begging me to take them home with me. They all knew they were going to die!
Why would anyone go to a pet store for a pet, where cats and dogs are bred for profit, when there are so many little animals that nobody wants at the dog pound?
Sometime this coming week, I'm going to have Charlie neutered, also. Hopefully, this will keep him from being so aggressive with the German Shepherd, if not, I don't know what the hell I'm going to do! I'm also going to have to trap that white cat that's already had two 5 kitten litters, to have spayed and micro-chipped, plus one more kitten, and my little Helen Keller!!

The Chat Pact
Before you apply to host any Chatterbox event, you agree to the Chat Pact, which is a variation of our existing House Party Pact. To us here at House Party, this is as sacred oath that while participating as a Chatterbox, you'll help us protect both you and our community.
Here's how it goes:
If selected as a Chatterbox: Remember that by becoming a Chatterbox you are agreeing to follow the House Party Pact whereby you promise to conduct yourself in the House Party spirit.
The House Party Pact prohibits selling any of the product in the Chat Pack as it is provided only to be used and shared during a Chatterbox. Anyone who breaks this trust will lose their House Party privileges and may subsequently face further legal action. Do you agree NOT to sell any of the contents of your Chat Pack?
For Reference, the House Party Pact goes as follows:
Hosting a House Party is a special opportunity, and with that come certain commitments. Please confirm that you will...
- Submit only one application per household (per party)
- Answer all questions accurately
- Plan and host the best party you can
- Share your Party Pack with your guests, as intended
- Not attempt to obtain extra Party Packs or Party Pack items
- Upload a group picture of you and your partygoers to the Party Page and verify the number of people in the photo
By applying for a host spot, you are agreeing to conduct yourself in the spirit of House Party — sharing a product with the people you love, through an exclusive experience. Hosts who break this Party Pact and abuse this trust will lose their House Party privileges.
Group photo
After the Official Party Day, as one of your "activities", you'll be asked to upload a Group photo to the "My activity" tab on your event page. As part of your Party Pact (when you applied for the party), you agreed to upload this photo. We want to see you and your partygoers in action! After you upload it, you'll need to tell us how many people are in the photo, so don't be shy! Please share this photo with us as soon as you can after your party.
To respect both you and your guests' privacy, this photo can be made private and only visible to you and your invited guests. If you'd like your photo to be private, you'll need to check the box when uploading the photo that says "Do NOT post on the party site". The Group photo is also important to House Party; it's one of the many ways we're working to select the best hosts and reward members who throw awesome parties.
