Charles Darwin wrote that he wished he had worked harder at mathematics, so as to possess the "extra sense" that he felt mathematicians can bring to understanding the world. The new 45 minute documentary, “Darwin's Extra Sense”, explores how twenty-first century mathematics is bringing an extra sense to the study of the life sciences.

I made such a fun card yesterday! I chose the image and then looked through the pad of paper I wanted to use and found the PERFECT paper. I love how the paper is striped and picks up on the hats and the boy’s shirt. There were so many colours in the paper that it was very easy to choose colours for the shirt, hats and present. Isn’t it cute? This image is tall and wide so when I use it I tend to use the “outside the box” technique when die cutting. Yesterday, I simply cut a standard rectangle because I knew I’d be pop-dotting the balloon and the boy’s head. I used my Family Phrases sentimens from Stampin’ Up because I think the font is perfect for children’s cards. It’s whimsical and goes with just about any cute stamp you can think of. The paper is MME lime twist (I think it’s Fly a Kite or Go Fly a Kite – I don’t have the paper next to me at the moment) and the stamp is my beloved Whipper Snapper. I’m dying to place a new order of their stamps but I haven’t had much play time lately so I’ll hold off – with luck I’ll make it to the next release (so they don’t come out with more stamps I want right after I place an order). Apr 08 Happy Easter! Cards 3 Comments » Happy Easter! I made this a few weeks ago – I didn’t need an Easter Card – I just wanted to have an excuse to colour this little bunny: Enjoy the rest of your Sunday. Apr 07 Dude Cards… Cards Comments Off on Dude Cards… My Dad’s birthday is coming up so I thought I’d get crafty during yesterday’s holiday rather than waiting until the last minute and stressing myself out. I saw a cute card on Limedoodle’s website and liked the treatment she used for the image (the rest of my card is your basic one-pattern background). I did make a boo-boo when stitching along the end of the image – my sewing machine zagged left – oops! I’m sure my Dad won’t mind! I used some fun Basic Grey paper, a few buttons from my stash and a really cute Paper Smooches stamp (bought these before Christmas) Kim Hughes fonts are just the funnest (it’s a word!) ever. I wish I owned them all. The hardest part about making this card was swapping the white thread in my little sewing machine for black. On my “grown up” machine I don’t find it difficult to rethread but I always have to look at the manual for my little Kenmore so I usually stick with white. Apr 02 Kissy Face Cards Comments Off on Kissy Face I needed an anniversary card for one of my brothers and SIL (happy 12th, guys!) and since I was on a Stamping Bella kick and still had the MME paper out I made this card for them: I was pleased to use a few brads on the card (which, funnily enough, is for my brother Brad…) because it’s nice to use some older embellishments now and then. Gives me an excuse to hang on to them for even longer. I’ve been so busy lately that I only pop into my craft room on an “as needed” basis. In fact, before I made this card yesterday, I made a baby shower card and some gift tags (that I didn’t have time to take a picture of), wrapped the baby gift, got cleaned up, went to the baby shower, then came home, made this right away, got it ready to mail and then made supper…after that was the usual “get ready for the work week” chores. Don’t even get me started on how much laundry I did over the weekend! Hopefully, I’ll be back soon – my Dad’s birthday is coming up so at some point I’ll need to make a card! Apr 01 Happily Ever After Cards Comments Off on Happily Ever After A wedding congratulations card using some long-abandoned Stamping Bella stamps…almost forgot about them. I went through a phase of these stamps a couple of years ago but then got addicted to Whipper Snapper where I send most of my stamping dollars… I used some pretty My Mind’s Eye paper and CASEd the layout from Alice Wertz (cause she’s amazing!). Once the colouring was done, this was actually a quick card and I totally scored finding two buttons with the same glazed finish. The paper was too pretty to use “ordinary” buttons.

Now that you have a better understanding of what options are, what calls and puts are, let's look at how to buy a call option in a little more detail. How To Buy A Call Option Identify the stock that you think is going to go up in price Review that stock's Option Chain Select the Expiration Month Select the Strike Price Determine if the market price of the call option seems reasonable To buy a call, you must first identify the stock you think is going up and find the stock's ticker symbol. When you get a quote on a stock on most sites you can also click on a link for that stock's option chain. The option chain lists every actively traded call and put option that exists for that stock. When you request an option chain on the CBOE website for the stock that you want to buy a call, you will see the calls listed in the left column and the puts listed in the right column. To view other months you will have to toggle the "Expiration" drop-down menu. First of all, you must realize that not all stocks have options that trade on them. Only the most popular stocks have options. Secondly, you cannot always buy a call with the strike price that you want for an option. Strike prices are generally in intervals of $5. So if YHOO is trading in the $30 range, it might have strike prices of $20, $25, $30, $35, and $40. Occasionally you will find $22.5 and $27.5 available for the more popular stocks. Thirdly, you will not always find the expiration month you are looking for on the option for which you want to buy a call. Usually you see the expiration months for the closest two months, and then every 3 months thereafter. Fourthly, even if you do find the option that you want to buy a call on, you need to make sure it has enough volume trading on it to provide liquidity so that you can sell it if you decide to. Most options are thinly traded and therefore have a higher bid/ask spread. Finally, to buy a call you need to understand what the option prices mean and find one that is reasonably priced. If YHOO is trading at $27 a share and you are looking to buy a call of the October $30 call option, the call option price is determined just like a stock--totally on a supply and demand basis. If the price of that call option is $0.25 then not many people are expecting YHOO to rise above $30; and if the price of that call option is $2.00, then you know that a lot of people are expecting that option to rise above $30. As you might expect, option prices are a function of the price of the underlying stock, the strike price, the number of days left to expiration, and the overall volatility of the stock. While the first 3 of these (stock price, strike price, and days to expiration) are easily agreed upon, it is the volatility and the expected volatility of the stock that traders differ in opinion and therefore drives prices. This is one of the most important things to understand when you go to buy a call. Call and Put Option Trading Tip: When you buy a call option, you need to be able to calculate your break-even point to see if you really want to make a trade. If YHOO is at $27 a share and the October $30 call is at $0.25, then YHOO has to go to at least $30.25 for you to breakeven. This is because when YHOO is at $30.25, then you know that the $30 call is "in-the-money" $0.25 so it is worth at least $0.25 (your cost of the option). Likewise, if the October $30 call is $2.00, then YHOO has to climb to at least $32.00 for you to breakeven (when YHOO is at $32, then the $30 call is "in-the-money" $2.00 and it will be worth at least $2.00.) Now let's look at a specific example of buy a call so this starts making sense. Let's say we have done our analysis on IBM and we think IBM will go from $84 to $87 in the next few days. Because I think IBM will go up I want to buy a call and since option strike prices are in multiples of $5, I could buy the $80 calls, the $85 calls, or the $90 calls. Note from Table 1 below that the IBM April 85 Call has the greatest percentage return. Scenario 1--Buy 100 Shares of Stock, buy a call with a strike price of $80, buy a call with a strike price of $85, and buy a call with a strike price of $90. Now assume IBM Closes at $87. Notice in Table 1 that we spent $8,400 on the stock position and we spent very little on the options. Now in the Table 2 below, we go ahead and invest the same initial amount in options as in the stock so we spend $8,400 on 100 shares, of IBM and about the same on each of the calls. Naturally, the percentage return is the same as in Table 1 above but since now look at the $14,000 profit on the April $85s! Even the profit on the April $80s is nice at $6,300. Are you starting to see the attractiveness of trading options and are you ready to buy a call! Scenario 2--Invest Equal Amounts of Money in Each Stock and Option and IBM Closes at $87. Now, here's the risky part of trading options. In Table 1 and Table 2 we showed the results assuming IBM climbed from $84 to $87 a share by the expiration date. Of course, stocks don't always move the way we think, so Table 3 shows what happens if the stock price just declines a bit to $83 a share. Note that for the $85 Call we lost all of our money, but for the $80 Call we only lost $2,100 and, of course, for the stock we only lost the $100. Now you see the risk that you take on when you buy a call! Scenario 3--Invest Equal Amounts of Money in Each Stock and Option then IBM Closes at $83.00. Buy a Call Conclusion: If you are sure that a stock is going to pop up a few points before the next option expiration date, it is the most profitable (and the most risky) to buy a call option with a strike price slightly higher than the current stock price. If you want to be a little more conservative, you can also buy a call option with a strike price below the current stock price. When in doubt as to whether to buy a call with a low strike price or buy a call with a higher strike price, it is always good to look at the volume that is happening in the real market and go where the volume is (I call this following the "smart money"). Call and Put Option Trading Tip: Here is the one of the most important characteristics about option trading that you must know before you buy a call: Stock prices move in 3 directions--not only do stock prices move up and down, but they also can stay the same. If prices are random, then over a short period of time you would expect stocks to move up 33% of the time, move down 33% of the time, and stay roughly the same 33% of time. This is actually proven out by a lot of academic research that shows that buyers of calls and puts are only profitable about 35% of the time. So, if buyers of calls/puts are profitable only 35% of the time, that means that the sellers of calls and puts are profitable 65% of the time. Now that you know how to buy a call and understand the importance of strike prices when you buy a call, the next topic addresses selling calls, also known as writing calls. Next: Selling Calls Here are the top 10 option concepts you should understand before making your first real trade:

Explanation: From fifty kilometers above asteroid Eros, the surface inside one of its largest craters appears covered with an unusual substance: regolith. The thickness and composition of the surface dust that is regolith remains a topic of much research. Much of the regolith on 433 Eros was probably created by numerous small impacts during its long history. In this representative-color view taken by the robot spacecraft NEAR-SHOEMAKER that orbited Eros in 2000 and 2001, brown areas indicate regolith that has been chemically altered by exposure to the solar wind during micrometeorite impacts. White areas are thought to have undergone relatively less exposure. The boulders visible inside the crater appear brown, indicating either that they are old enough to have a surface itself tanned by the solar wind, or that they have somehow become covered with some dark surface dust.

In spring and summer of 2008, the European Karst Plain Project (EKPP) organized two projects at the Pozo Azul Cave in northern Spain. Their objective was to further explore, survey, and document the cave system. In April, the team added a complete reel of line during a first push dive. This dive required over 8 hours in the water, including 4 hours of bottom time. The maximum depth reached was 70 meters (230 feet). In August, the team had to deal with obstructed access to the cave and equipment failure, but spent a lot of time filming in the cave. Between adding nearly 500 meters of new and surveyed line and a well-documented second project, it was a very sucessful year in Spain. The total explored length of the cave is now 5,020 meters, making it the second-longest underwater cave in Europe. This film covers the August project. Follow the team while they transport their gear to the second sump of the cave and set up for a push dive. Video editing & music: JP Bresser Runtime: 47 Minutes

Giving talented young musicians the best possible chance to succeed in our globally competitive profession is a responsibility we take very seriously. Furnishing them with the skills, training, knowledge and experience they need is more expensive than ever. Whilst tuition fees and our government grant are important contributions to the cost of delivering such exceptional provision, unfortunately they fall well short of the real costs. As a registered charity, we rely more and more on external funding and donations to sustain us, which is why we are reaching out to our alumni, friends and supporters through an Annual Appeal. Please make a donation if you can, however small or large, and join us in ensuring the future of this precious art form. Your donation will make a real difference to the four key areas of our work below. To make a donation, please complete the form below or call 0161 907 5394. Artistic Enrichment I was exposed to musicians of the highest calibre who influenced not only my playing but also my mindset and awareness of the musician that I am and want to become Postgraduate bassoonist Sam Brough on working with the Mahler Chamber Orchestra Mastering a musical instrument requires years of developing and honing technical skill, but becoming a visionary performing artist requires inspiration; the opening of heart, mind and creative ambition. Whether a masterclass with an esteemed international musician, or a workshop with one of the most highly respected ensembles in the world, or sitting alongside an experienced professional musician in an ensemble setting, we help our students go the extra mile. By helping us to fund visits from truly exceptional artists we can continue to provide experiences that ignite another level of passion and awareness. For a young, aspiring professional musician these moments are often a game-changer. Having Miklos [Perényi] come to RNCM has been amazing: being able to see him playing up close is so inspiring, because he has such flawless technique as well as really interesting musical ideas. He was a student of Pablo Casals and was taught by one of the students of David Popper- both legendary names for cellists! Undergraduate cellist Eliza Carew on coaching from the Haworth International Chair in Cello Student Support It is impossible to overstate the importance of financial support for students. The most talented are by no means the most affluent, but they possess the ambition, hunger and musicianship that will keep our beloved art form alive and thriving for the next generation. Without this support, these crucial advocates risk being lost to us all. Clark Rundell, RNCM Head of Conducting Quite simply, by training at the RNCM, talented young musicians are best placed and best equipped to fulfil their artistic and career potential. But they are also challenged by the ever-increasing cost of their training. We are committed to offering as many scholarships and bursaries as we possibly can, and yet we are only able to meet around 50% of what is needed. By helping us to grow the financial support we are able to offer, you are helping us to make sure access to this high quality education remains as open and fair as possible. Receiving financial help really did mean the difference between me coming back to the RNCM to pursue my dreams or abandoning them. It has been a struggle at times as I have had to work three jobs on top of studying to cover my living costs; however without the help I received in the form of a scholarship, the possibility of returning was impossible. Words cannot express how grateful I am. Postgraduate soprano Kimberley Raw RNCM Engage Wow!!!!! That’s it. Just wow!!!!! – I was first on my feet for the standing ovation and had tears pouring down my cheeks. – I didn’t think that my child would ever step inside a building like this. And to sing on that huge stage. – I would never have guessed that children this age could produce something so professional. Thank you for making it possible. Parents of children involved in RNCM’s Children’s Opera project From the excitement of school age children composing and performing their own opera, to Family Days and free workshops, to the invaluable work of Music for Health in hospitals, hospices and care homes; RNCM Engage reaches out to our local and regional communities, spreading the message that music connects and can enrich, comfort, inspire, challenge, channel and educate, whoever we are. I have felt inspired, energised and excited… to see the exponential development of the children has been wonderful, and noticing the influence I had on the children’s learning was a huge experience for me as I continue to grow my skills and enthusiasm for work in music education. RNCM student The Artistic Programme I am very impressed by the quality of the work that is done here. Also, it is such a happy place, I so enjoy the atmosphere and I love music. Audience member Our students will spend many hours in the practice room, but it is only in front of an audience that their work really comes alive. On the opera stage or in the concert hall, recital room or lecture theatre, they will prepare for their career by working with fully professional creative teams to deliver outstanding performances. Audiences across the region (and beyond) can experience the results of their hard work with two free lunchtime concerts each week plus a full range of orchestral, chamber, solo, opera, contemporary, jazz, folk, world and popular music. The RNCM’s award-winning artistic programme also incorporates some of the most influential artists, performers and speakers of our time. Supporting this area of our work will enable us to sustain our position as one of the most dynamic performance venues in the country. A hive of great musical activity, the chance to see great performers of the future as well as well-established ones. Great variety of music from all periods! – Having been to many different concert venues I was most impressed with the concert hall… The enthusiasm of the young musicians was a joy to watch and the standard was excellent… I will certainly be returning many times to enjoy the RNCM experience.

or how I waste my life in front of the computer.well the summer at least.Getting to an event is like going to a foreign land very far far away and actually having a holiday. Always after coming back from even a weekend event we feel as though we have been gone for weeks not just days. I suppose it has something to do with the fcat that we see people we consider to be great friends even though in real life I don't even know their mundane names or whatthey do for a living, and talk with them as though we are soul mates. It is an astonishing thing about the SCA and I suppose most other fringe clubs where people meet once every now and then and do stuff the rest of the world considers odd.People reading my various blogs know that as of late I have been incredibly down as far as the SCA is concerned. rotten politics, hornet's nests etc... this is especially true if this aspect is really the only aspect one sees, which it is for us since we are sort of in the exil in the bfn of switzerland.But I heard someone say somthing this weekend that was a wake up of sotrs I guess. When I bitched aboutthe current state of affairs in Drachenwald she said 'well it coudl be worse, it coudl be Ruantallan' and I stopped and went...oh you heard.It seems there isn't a place in the known world that hasn't and it also seems that the now the bench mark for rotten politics and BS is Runatallan. This is especially sad for me as that was my home for a long time. Many of the people who were and are involved on BOTH sides of the current disputes and feuds are my sca family and my friends. It breaks my heart to read about it, especially 1st hand as I am on the baronial mailing list and I read my friends' blogs.But the sadest part of it was that the statement was true, Drachenwald could be as bad as that but it isn't, at least not yet.Yes there are an enclave of the power hungry who don't want to let go of the place of importance they feel they have to the younger generation ( dude it's gotta happen and it's gonna happen with or without bloodshed...preferably without...)Yes we have not been doing stuff by the book, so lets change the book instead of griping and moaning, ( already happening)After a seriously LONG discussion about what the issues are and how can we maybe change things ofr the better with some fellow peers, I realised as I sat on the cool floor of the tent that I am every bit as part of the problem as I am the solution if all I do is gripe and bitch and threaten to bugger off for greener pastures without also trying to change things in a positive way from the inside out.The problem is this, I like the SCA and most of the people, even some of the people that most other peopl don't like. I can separate action from person, most of the time.I do not hate anyone.But I do get extremely pissed off with people.Our kingdom is in flux, everyone with an ear to the ground knows and senses this. It is a generational thing, the older long established been in power folks are slowly beeing eeeked out by the up and coming new generation of people.I have seen this so many times now, and having been on both sides of the power fence I can say this, better to let go gracefully than to hold on kicking and screaming, eventually the new folks ae not new anymore and they want to contribute and try out the office thing, or the organizational thing and they don't want to hearthe 'well when I was in the SCA , or when I first started, or in my kingdom...'It's like a family, and eventually the kids grow up move out get jobs and take over.I like flux, it is interesting but the problem is when some people can't let go or have far too many fingers in far too many pies growth gets stagnated and things fall apart. I think it is fear of change but what so many people do not seem to get is that without change, there is no growth and without growth there is only stagnation and eventually death.My advice it to let go gracefully and be around to give advice and hugs when things go awry , as they will, and applaud when things go right which they also will.For my part I will try to stop being such a gripe. I mean things can change for the better, look at how scribes are now treated.... that's a big change.This event past was nice and inspite of myself I enjoyed it. I make no apologies for being a grumpy bitch when I first arrive on site, especially after a 6+ hour drivem a migraine and following shitty directions which get us lost to being told oops camp site is full ( turns out they had space for us which was a good thing).I saw people I love and care about, peopel I think of as family. I got to talk to people I don'tget to spend much time with and start to see them in a different light, some good some bad but mostly good.And I decided that despite is short comings and current rough patch, I still like the SCA. I still have a place in it and can maybe still make a difference.

Smoking is also not good for your skin whiteness. Golden Glow capsule only helps, if you consider both of these points.

Using a proprietary solution, we are able to determine longitude, latitude and altitude of a randomly placed remote sensor by purely optical means or by a combination of optical and RF communications techniques. Our approach is low-cost, eye-safe, stealthy, and minimizes or eliminates the need for human involvement in the localization process. Further, our approach easily handles hundreds of sensors spread over many miles of difficult terrain. Localization is quick and reliable.

Today the New Hampshire State House failed to pass a House resolution asking for US State Department to intervene on behalf of Meriam Wani. Rep. Itse introduced this urgent resolution on behalf of the Manchester family whose heart-wrenching story is rippling through New Hampshire and nation. Mrs. Meriam Wani, a 27-year-old Sudanese woman is in danger of being martyred in the very near future for her marriage to a Daniel Wani, a United States Citizen living in Manchester, NH. New Hampshire has among the strongest constitutional protections of rights of conscience and religion. The House Republican Alliance strongly believes that the martyring of a young woman for her marriage to a citizen of another religion is an unacceptable over reach of the power delegated to government. Rep. JR Hoell- Dunbarton, expressed shock and dismay, that the critical request failed to garner sufficient votes to pass the required 2/3rds margin to allow introduction. “We were sent here to serve and protect the people of New Hampshire and nothing comes closer to fulfilling that duty than standing up to government tyranny, especially when someone will be martyred for their selection of a spouse and their religious beliefs.” Rep. Dan Itse- Fremont further commented: “It was good to see that we obtained a majority on this vote, however I am dismayed that the House Majority office opposed and stopped the introduction of the resolution”

The dancers of Spectrum Dance Theater are a select group of unique dance artists individually chosen and trained in Donald Byrd’s singular approach to dance/theater – physically demanding and emotionally charged. They occupy the space where the classical, contemporary, intuitive, cerebral, visceral, right brain, left brain, control and abandonment converge. These are dancers exploring the boundaries of movement – inside and outside of the prescribed. They explore the known and the unknowns of movement with focus, enthusiasm, and an veracious appetite for the authentic and the truthfulness of movement. They are virtuosi of a new order.

We checked out pretty early in the morning, took a cab ride to our new place at Insadong.Fraser Suites InsadongWow, this service apartment was great. We got a two-bedroom apartment on 19th floor. We had everything we need, washing machine cum dryer, microwave, oven, 2 flat screen TVs and a DVD player. The kitchenware is even more complete than what I have in Singapore. :P Not only that, the utensils and cookware look professional like those you find in Takashimaya.The stay comes with breakfast and housekeeping service from Monday to Saturday. Too bad I didn't plan to cook, I doubt I would have time to cook anyway, if not it would be great as I don't have to the washing after cooking up a storm.We went down for breakfast after surveying the apartment because he need to go off to work soon. Breakfast didn't have much varieties as in big hotels, but it was good enough. As I stayed longer, the main menu hardly repeat itself even after two weeks except for those fixed items like bread, cereal, fruits and yoghurt.After our breakfast, I returned to our apartment and unpack everything followed by ironing all his shirts and mine so that I didn't have to do it again next time. I spent almost 4 hours for all these and only had my lunch at almost 3pm.InsadongOur neighbourhood is in an old town of Seoul, famous for art galleries, tea houses and many rice cake shops. It is also within walking distance to three of Seoul five palaces. A tourist area indeed, you could find many souvenir shops here.A souvenir shop at InsadongOne of the many art galleriesThe weather was quite chilly because of the rain since morning. I didn't see much people on the street, it's a rather gloomy day. Most restaurants were closed during this time, so I ended up at a tea cafe for some light snacks.I ordered some rice cakes and a cup of tea, they were very pretty to look at but taste wise, it was rather tasteless. From those four I ordered, I only like black rice and ume flower tteok. As for the tea, I just randomly ordered something unfamiliar. The Mogwa tea was fine, it had a mix flavour of sour and sweet, quite a unique taste.Rice cake (tteok) was a traditional sweets of Korean.Mogwa tea is analyzed to stimulate physical vitality and minimize fatigue and lethargy. It is especially good to prevent sunstroke and lessening symptoms of cough and constipation (that's what the menu says)Take away some tteok for hubby to try.Tteok in a gift box. It's not cheap at KRW 30,000 (SGD 35)It comes in pretty packaging.Actually I planned to continue exploring the area, but the rain had not stopped. It was difficult to carry an umbrella in one hand and taking photos on the other, so I returned to the apartment to explore their facilities.Fraser Suites facilitiesBreakfast areaHeated swimming poolChildren wading poolPing pong tableThe saunas and jet pools are separated for guys and ladies. It is very common to see naked people in here, especially the Koreans. The foreigners are usually covered in swimsuit. :)Dry and wet saunas side by side.Hot and cold water jet pools, with shower rooms in the background.Frasers also have gym and a rooftop golf driving range which I forgot to take pictures. :( The gym is fully equipped, not as big as in the sports club but it was more than enough.I found out more about them from their monthly newsletter. Other than the great facilities, they also have great services. For example, complimentary yoga classes twice a week, Korean lesson once a month, golf lesson once a week, free babysitting once a month, and shuttle service to markets/hypermart daily. Furthermore, they also arrange some trips outside Seoul and outdoor sports activities every few times a month for their residents. I'm not sure how other service apartments like, but Frasers really pamper their residents so well.After I knew they have the yoga class, I quickly signed up with the receptionist for today's class. :) The teacher was a Korean lady and she taught us Ashtanga yoga moves. It was only 4 of us in the class and we were all newbies. It was really a fun evening.After the class, I went back and taking more photos on our apartment.Our apartmentThe corridor to living room, a 3-door shoes cabinet on the right.The living roomTV and study deskKitchenMicrowave and fridgeDining tableMaster bedroomTV and dressing tableSecond bedroomShower room and bath tubWashing machine roomThe view from our apartment.How much should I earn to get this view from our own house? As for now, I would just enjoy it as long as I could. :)The view at night.We had our dinner at a small eatery in Insadong. The dinner was great, we ordered a dinner set for two of pork ssambop.The restaurantDecorated with antiquesMore antiquesThis door is actually on top of us, as a ceiling decoration hehehe...The main dish, pork ssambap. Wrap it with fresh leaves below.Comes with brown rice, the rest are side dishes.More side dishes, that I couldn't take all in one shot.Spicy soybean paste soup (doenjang jjigae), also a complimentary side dish.We finished everything except the chilies. :PIt was a hearty meal indeed, only cost us KRW 16,000 (SGD 18). I just love how they include everything in the price. What you see in the menu is what you pay. No peanut charge, wet towel charge, plain water charge, service charge, GST charge. It should be this way everywhere in the world, I hate hidden fees.Day 5 >> posted at 6:10 PM 3 comments: Anonymous said... Hi Irene,Thank you for your detailed blog on Seoul. My family will be traveling to Korea for a visit in July and will be staying at the Fraser Suites. Will you be adding more to your blog? I hope so. I'm taking notes on everything you write.

Hi Heather,Thanks for visiting my blog. I'm glad that you find the information useful to prepare for your trip.I would continue updating it, but it might take awhile to finish all the 22 days of my Seoul trip.

MANILA, Philippines - The Commission on Elections may soften up on the aggregate airtime limits for broadcast political advertisements during the official campaign period for the mid-term elections. Comelec Commissioner Rene Sarmiento said the poll body already reconsidered the provision requiring prior consent from Comelec before candidates can be interviewed by the media. He said this is a sign that the poll body is keeping an open mind about the campaign rules. "The beauty of it all is that we're open to suggestions and comments. The fact that prior consent has been changed is a sign that Comelec is open to suggestions, comments and reactions from our media friends,” he said. The Comelec will hold a public hearing on Thursday morning to tackle the separate letter-appeals of the Kapisanan ng mga Broadcaster sa Pilipinas and GMA Network over the aggregate airtime limits, prior consent requirement and right of reply. The media groups said the prior consent requirement is a form of prior restraint on the media which is banned by the 1987 Constitution. Sarmiento said the poll body is looking at all arguments with regards to the aggregate airtime limits of 120 minutes for TV and 180 minutes for radio for national candidates and 60 minutes for TV and 90 minutes for radio for local candidates. "You have to consider that from 2000 to 2010 elections the Commission on Elections was not consistent on airtime limitations. There was a time collective aggregate. There were times it was 120-180 minutes per station. There are those in the en banc for the retention of (the) airtime limit but you've got to be pragmatic. That's not enough for candidates. There's openness on the part of the Comelec,” he said. Chairman Sixto Brillantes Jr. earlier revealed that Comelec will issue an amendment clarifying the requirement on prior consent to mean a mere prior notice on the part of candidates and media to the Comelec. "We made it more liberal by saying it means prior notice….on the spot interviews… so long as were informed after, that will suffice,” he said. Aside from airtime limits and the prior consent requirement, the Comelec will also tackle arguments regarding the right of reply provision. Sarmiento expects a decision on the appeals of the media to be known soon after the hearing on Thursday. Sarmiento and Armando Velasco are ending their 7-year terms on Saturday.

Paging through ID the other night we read about this young architecture/design firm in Stockholm, TAF Arkitektkontor (or TAF for short), and, while we liked almost everything we saw, it was their staircase design that really got us... Made of pine wedges that were originally prefab kitchen worktops, this staircase ascends quickly and probably wouldn't pass code in the US, unless you were able to call it a sculpture. It also tells you which foot to start with and is not ambidextrous, like a common staircase. But the strong texture and the muscular variation of shadow and form from left to right is memorable and compelling. Plus, you just WANT to try these stairs.

But Atticuswill try his best tohelp if he really raped a girl. Maybe he is at a bad mood and may not control himself. This shows how helpful Atticus was. She behaves very well at home and not in class. She was always fighting with your ex classmates. From this, I will infer that Scout was a tomboy. But she was a girl so why not call her tomgirl? She only beat her classmates up for insulting her father, Atticus Finch.On page 85, Scout a coward! did Jacob said she was obviously a coward? Why did she leave behind your dream. Was it her 1st time?Jacob thought that Scout didn't dare to fight with him andcalled him a coward but Scout did not need to let Atticus down by fighting with Jacoband it was her First time walking away fromafight.On the same page, My folks said your daddy would have been a disgrace as well nigger oughta hang from the water tank Why did Cecil Jacob insulted Atticus? Could be that the good reason that Scout feel as if beating him up?Jacob thought that Atticus was lousy and no longer can do anything then when Scout heard that they wanted to beat him up but rejected after she remembered what Atticus said to her.Boo Radley real name is Arthur Radley. The individuals called him Boo Radley as everyone thought he would have been a horrifying beast. ways to scare people with the fearsome noises. To ensure means everyone belief that Boo Radley would be a scary character rather than dare to get near to him. Because of this I can infer that they was hated by many people.On page 11, it says Radley boywas not seen again for Many years Why was he missing for Many years? Where was he? So what happened to him of these years? What had caused him to be horrified by a lot of people?He was located in his house for 20 years and the man never got out of his house, even if it's just once! As years passed he previously changed alot. He was totally different from what he is at the past and that would be the good reason that Boo become so scary for people.Then, in further chapter we discovered that Boo Radley was actuallya kindhearted person as Jem saw his pants being sewed and gifts for Jem and Scout and he have been secretly puting the gifts with the oak tree.I was told that Boo Radley has insane fingers.This should be an adverse opinion about him as numerous peoplethinks that he is every one of the troublemaker and the man can be a malevolent personso It shouldmeans that he is not a normal person.Exactly why is him not normal? He is not normal as they acts differently from others people. He doesn't do what normal peoples do but he is doing unique things. Performing things that made people thinks he's crazy.Why crazy? He goes into peoples gardens and peeps intotheir windows at night. This made peoples fearful of getting out of bed from the alone.

I'm happy to announce that today Python 3.1 was released. I won't dwell the new features, since those are more completely listed elsewhere. I'm quite happy with this release. A lot of work has been put into 3.x as stable as its older 2.x siblings. I would like to see a lot of libraries and applications start serious looking at the port to 3.x now. As always there's a bunch of core developers waiting to help on the python-porting mailing list.Anyway, 3.1 is available for download in source and several binary formats on python.org.

No matter what type of skin imperfection you are facing, there is a solution to getting rid of it out there. The only thing you have to do is to have patience and apply the instructions given to you to make that annoying imperfection go away. If you are confronted with a skin imperfection and you want to get rid of it, read the following lines to find out how you can heal that imperfection in just a couple of weeks. Clean your face before you go to bed Most skin imperfections are linked to the fact that you either don’t clean your face at all before you go to bed, or you do it incorrectly. During the day, a lot of impurities are accumulated on the skin, making it mandatory to clean these impurities before you go to bed to let your skin breathe and to protect it from being infected. While a shower will keep your body safe from bacteria and germs, your face needs special care separately from it. Therefore, make sure to thoroughly clean your face every night with makeup removing cream, even if you didn’t wear makeup during the day because it wipes off all the impurities, and wash your face with water after applying the makeup removing cream. Apply creams Many people are confronted with skin imperfections that are more difficult to handle than a simple pimple, these problems being skin tags and dark spots. Fortunately, you can find remedies to these problems in any pharmacy. Just ask for skin lightening creams to remove those unpleasant dark spots, and ask for skin tag removal creams to deal with the tags that cover your body. In only a few weeks after using the skin lightening cream if dark spots are your problem, or skin tag removal cream if you are faced with skin tags, these will be problems of the past, disappearing from your skin for good. Stay hydrated and change your diet The lifestyle that you lead is visible on your skin, and if you don’t stay hydrated and you don’t have a healthy diet, your skin will be the first one to suffer. Eat only natural foods and try to avoid eating out if you care for the way you look, avoiding ingesting the harmful additives that go into making certain sweets and foods that can be found in stores and restaurants. When it comes to hydration, you should make sure to have a canister of clean water with you at all times to stay hydrated and to avoid drinking the first thing that you find. Tap water and bottled water are unfortunately filled with harmful contaminants that are a danger to your health, therefore you should invest in a water filter to make sure that you are drinking clean water. After all, you are what you drink and what you eat, and you can’t go on drinking contaminant filled water.

I just got word that tonight Fred Marshall passed away, after a prolonged battle with various health problems. Often the assumed message when people are in mourning is, "The poor deceased." I don't know what follows death, since I've never been there, so I don't know whether there's any reason to feel sorry for those who have died. What I do know in this case is that there is some reason to feel sorry for the rest of us, for having had Fred taken from our world. I never had the pleasure of meeting Fred in person, but had quite a bit of e-mail contact with him in the past few years, and several discussions by phone. And that was enough to see that he was a very special person. Of course, that is said about almost everyone when they die, but that is not why I say it here. Fred had more adventures and experiences than I ever imagined could fit into one lifetime (and I'm sure I only know about a fraction of them). And yet he remained humble and giving to the end. And, even more unusual, he showed that he was always eager to know more, to understand more, and to do more to help improve the world, as long as he was in it. Even when he knew his days on earth were coming to an end, he never stopped thinking and communicating--both of which the world could certainly use more of. The saying about not being able to "teach an old dog new tricks" didn't apply to Fred. He knew a whole lot, but never claimed to know it all, and remained open to new ideas. His wisdom lay in knowing so much, yet still having an open mind. Having had an amazing military career, for example, he was able to see what was right and what was wrong with the thing he had been a part of--where almost anyone else would think only of justifying his past actions. Tonight, the world has lost a person of a type and quality that is very rare, and very much needed--perhaps now more than ever. But perhaps a more cheerful way to look at it is this: today Fred was finally relieved of his final tour of duty, self-imposed though it was, having spent so many years doing what he could to help the innocent, to resist injustice, and to enlighten the deceived. It is impossible to know, exactly, how many ways, and through how many people, Fred's efforts will live on. I can only speak for myself when I say that Fred's example will not be forgotten, and will forever set a benchmark of honor, integrity and courage--mental and physical--perhaps never to be attained, but to forever be striven for. Goodbye, Fred. You made the world a better place. Make a Comment

I’m not interested in the blog stats. Just the game. And eighth century love poems to the Almighty. So when the Chief told me he’d find a berth for me I jumped. I escaped a roach infested hole in which Furrypaws and I lived and worked ourselves into oblivion, our one lasting achievement being a fleeting communion with the spirit of Rick Ross. But the Chief put me on ice for months, as a contributor, through the course of which I gained a g. Mostly though, I’m on the Wire. To hell with the JT ban, let the Ciceronian say what he will about uneducated foolishness. The bots over at Slate seem to find Season 5 pretty mediocre and in so doing, having pissed off David Simon. We aim for significantly less and will do our best to ignore any characters from Season 2, prompting an official rebuke by the Chief, in response to which we will no longer support him in the Green Party Primary of Wyoming, thereby halving his constituency. Our approach to the Wire is simple. We divide into two. Things that Furrypaws would like and the things that he would dislike, the foremost of which is probably that I am writing this post. Shit thats good: -The credits: perhaps the second best Wire theme song, being surpassed solely by the first season. -Evil Carcetti: Ok so we all know that in the Simoniverse, all politicians are corrupt and they all make the wrong choices. At least the beloved Carcetti has an out. It is clear that his fall into corruption has been brought about by the little white accountant dude who is clearly Satan. – The journalism subplot: the Slaters don’t really find this to cliche, they say that the characters are stock newsroom characters and its an interminable waste of Wire watching time. While it is by far not the most exciting subplot I’ve ever seen, it fulfills a particular Simonian didactic function. The esteemed Wirologists over at consistently look for the underlying lessons which the Wire offers, a not uncompelling reading of the show as a whole. Season 1 is the most blatant example of this, in which the viewer is led by the hand through the process of criminal investigation. Here, Simon’s purpose is similar, to show us how news is made. In your eye, Slaters! – Chris Partlow and Snoop: I’ve sort of jumped on the band wagon, I still hate that fuck Marlow for killing Bodie, but their jolly attitude towards homicide is both contagious and didactic. -Herc: plots revolving around sneaky Jews have been conspiciously lacking up to this point. -Beadie Rusell is hott! Shit thats bad: -McNulty and the homicide plot: Truly, I never thought that I would say this, but I could do with a little less Mcnutty and his merry band of detectives. Season 4 introduced a diversity of characters whose storylines were followed through for every episode. This is most definitely not the case in Season 5, in which we’ve already gone two episodes without seeing Cutty, Colvin, Omar, Poot, Randy, or even Prez. -Avon: It just seems unnecessary. So what if he sets up a meeting with Sergei some guy? There is not a lot of room for his character, except for random cameos which merely fulfill our nostalgia for the Barksdale days. -Bubbles-its just miserable looking at the poor bastard, does he have to be dragged through the shit every season?

You are hereHome › Products › Special Hazards & Suppression › Foam Products & Systems › Proportioning Equipment & Systems › Low Pressure Fixed Foam Eductor System (Dual) Low Pressure Fixed Foam Eductor System (Dual) A bladder tank concentrate controller may be used for small open head foam/water deluge systems. A more economical choice would be the use of an eductor system with an atmospheric storage tank. This system is less expensive than the bladder tank system and easier to install on small deluge systems. The eductors are designed to produce a strong venturi effect (vacuum) as a given flow range of water passes through the eductor. The venturi effect causes the concentrate from the concentrate storage tank to be educted into the flow of water. The foam concentrate is stored in an atmospheric pressure container unlike the bladder tank. The container can be located at an elevation lower than the eductor (see eductor technical data sheets for more specific information). The eductors require a minimum of 35% pressure loss across the device in order to produce the proper venturi effect. Please refer to technical data sheet for additional information, or contact Viking’s Technical Services team at 877-384-5464 /

Wind-Driven Flow of Water Influenced by a Canopy CIVIL ENGINEERING DATABASE AMERICAN SOCIETY OF CIVIL ENGINEERS ASCE LIBRARY Wind-Driven Flow of Water Influenced by a Canopy by Robert O. Reid, Prof.; Dept. of Oceanography, Texas A & M Univ., College Station, Tex., Robert E. Whitaker, Research Assoc.; Dept. of Oceanography, Texas A & M Univ., College Station, Tex., Serial Information: Journal of the Waterways, Harbors and Coastal Engineering Division, 1976, Vol. 102, Issue 1, Pg. 61-77Document Type: Journal Paper Abstract: A time-dependent numerical model, which treats fully evolved wind-driven canopy flow as a coupled two-layer system, is developed. The interfacial stress is formulated in terms of a coupling coefficient and the flow differential. The resistance afforded by a vegetative canopy is parameterized in terms of a drag coefficient and dimensional properties of the canopy elements. With flow confined strictly to the canopy, the calming effect of the canopy is introduced through a sheltering coefficient. The canopy is modeled as a set of rigid uniform structures orientated normal to the flow and evenly distributed with specified density over the bottom. The algorithm is tested by simulating the steady-state water-surface profiles observed in a laboratory channel containing wire screen obstructions. The model is applied next to a wind-driven rectangular basin with simulated vegetation specified over half the bottom.

Ghost Town (1988)Reviewed for by Dustin Putman(Release Date: July 28, 2015) – "Ghost Town" is atmospheric and oddball, an enticing combination that allows the film to stand out as a crafty, late-'80s genre curiosity. When runaway bride Kate (Catherine Hickland) goes missing in the desert and her car is found deserted and mysteriously damaged, Deputy Langley (Franc Luz) is assigned to the case. His investigation into her disappearance leads him to a literal ghost town where the spirits of the wild west continue to roam free. Trapped in a time warp and menaced by the zombified Sheriff Devlin (Jimmie F. Skaggs), Langley and Kate must find a way to escape his wrath and return to the lives from which they have been abducted. A horror-western with esoteric, supernatural leanings, "Ghost Town" works past its budgetary limitations and alleged production troubles (director Richard Governor reportedly walked off the film two weeks early due to creative differences and cinematographer Mac Ahlberg took over for the remainder of shooting) with an off-center mood and eerie tone that suits the story well. While the script by Duke Sandefur (who would go on to pen 1989's Robert Englund-starring "The Phantom of the Opera") doesn't seem to be particularly interested in providing answers to what is going on, and why, the film is arguably more effective for its unconventional narrative. Evocative imagery, from a group of ghostly townpeople staring in through a dusty window at interloper Langley, to the sight of a corpse in a flowing red dress hanging from a tree, keeps the proceedings visually interesting even when things begin to meander in the second half. Meanwhile, practical special and make-up effects make the case once again against the overuse of modern CGI. If "Ghost Town" is something of a hodgepodge, it is a fascinating, spookily baffling hodgepodge with a polished aesthetic eye. A-/B- "Ghost Town" isn't free of the requisite debris and mosquito noise that rears its head from time to time, but otherwise the movie's 1080p transfer looks to be in excellent condition. This is the first time the film has been available in the U.S. since the days of VHS, and seeing it in high-definition is a totally new experience that highlights the stylish camerawork and potent imagery. Detail is strong, particularly in facial close-ups, while colors are healthy and clarity satisfying. The picture displays a mostly balanced grain field and, despite the occasional age-related specks, the print used appears to be strikingly clean. The 2.0 DTS-HD Master Audio is on the thin side, no doubt a result of the source material. The upside is that the dialogue is always intelligible and fairly evenly mixed. On the downside, there is what sounds like a slight waveriness to the soundtrack and a crackle and pop here and there. As befits a 2.0 track, audio is kept strictly to the front channels. For this particular title, "Ghost Town" sounds just as one might expect it to sound like. Just don't expect to be wowed by an immersive sonic event. None Scream Factory impresses yet again by bringing to Blu-ray a forgotten horror entry from 1988 that, until now, has not been released on any digital home-video format. To see the film's moody imagery in high-definition will prove almost revelatory for viewers whose only previous point of reference is an archaic VHS version. Is "Ghost Town" imperfect? Certainly. But it was clearly made with a lot of heart and inspiration, and is ripe for (re)discovery.

Went there couple days ago hoping that they've worked out some kinks that all restaurants have when they first open. As for their sushi, don't waste your time and money. The sushi looks terrible and tastes terrible and is pretty expensive for the quantity and miserable quality. We went around 630 at peak hour and their service was terribly slow. Some kitchen items might be decent enough, but we ordered agedashi tofu and it lacked a considerable amount of dashi. I dare someone to go try their ramen and report back.

Thursday, 26 July 2012 Hall of Fame Hall of Fame, The Script's first single for their third album entitled #3, played on the radio for the first time this week. The Script released photos from the video shoot of Hall of Fame. These photos were taken from The Script's facebook page. There were also some adorable candid Danny photos. :"> And some not so candid but adorable ones as well.. Yes, I did like almost all the pictures in that album. =)) Besides these photos, The Script also uploaded the official lyric video of Hall of Fame on their site and on Youtube. I'm surprised that the replay button's still working because I have abused the replay button. What can I do? The song's too good! I agree with the comment on youtube saying that this song suites the olympics. Maybe they'd consider making this the song for the 2012 London Olympics, eh? ;) Anyway, here's another video that The Script uploaded a while ago. Another video that made me excited for the release of #3.

Thanks, Brandon Comment Brandon Davenport February 11, 2015 Lincoln Lawyer, Historical The Lincoln Lawyer Brandon Davenport February 11, 2015 Lincoln Lawyer, Historical It has always made me feel good to know that Honest Abe was a practicing lawyer before serving as President. Lincoln was dedicated to his legal practice and was known to be a "jack of all trades" in that regard. He represented all comers, from farmers arguing over cows to large corporate railroad companies fighting over taxation issues, earning fees ranging from $5 all the way up to $5,000 (a hefty sum in those days -- and these). In all, he and his partners (he always had one) represented more than 5,000 clients prior to his presidency. So dedicated to the practice of law was Lincoln that prior to departing Springfield, Illinois, for the White House, he pointed to the sign hanging from his law office that read, "Lincoln and Herndon," and told his law partner, William Herndon to "let it hang there undisturbed," promising to return to their practice after his term "as if nothing had ever happened."There is so much more I could write about Lincoln, but I have been told that blog posts are meant to be short, so I will honor custom and end this one now, but don't be surprised to see more black & whites of The President mixed in amongst my future posts right here on the DL Blog.

Friday morning we headed out to Anaheim, about a five hour drive so really not that bad. We arrived a little after my dad and James' flights, and we all headed over to the Expo. I finally got to meet Jeff Galloway! He is awesome! I think he convinced my dad to do another full. Did you know you can run/walk a marathon in under 5:00? We stayed at the Hilton which is walking distance to Disneyland. We walked everywhere! The 10k route ran right past our hotel, where we are standing below. I was tempted to run right back into my bed and take a snoozer. Mister Rykar came along and stayed with my sister and her two Iggys. I think he had the time of his life and was dead to the world asleep the entire drive home. Saturday we left the hotel by 5am. This was the inaugural 10k race (6.2 miles) so it was a little disorganized getting into our corrals with the 5k starting 30 minutes prior. Luckily we had my sister and just followed her wherever we needed to go. Jolie, dad, Greg (friend!) and I were running the 10k together! Ben and James took off to run for time, and James puked at miles 5. haha! A little friendly family competition. Ben's official time was a 45:25 and James finished in 46:35. Jolie managed a barrel roll during mile two after tripping on the street reflectors. She had some battle wounds, but is now looking into becoming a stunt devil. I look attractive. Don't be jealous. After a 2-1/2 hour nap we headed to Disneyland for a couple of hours! In true Disney race fashion, we wore our medals all day. Apparently that is what you do, which was fun, because when else do you wear a medal? My birthday was on Sunday, but they gave me a birthday button while we were there on Saturday. I think I got wished Happy Birthday 100 times. I swear every employee we saw would say something. Disney is awesome and my birthday was awesomer because of everyone there. The birthday treatment isn't too shabby... walking onto Radiator Springs. The forecast said it was going to cool down about 10 degrees for the half after a sweltering 10k race, so even though I felt like that 10k was a lot harder than it should have been given my training, I still was feeling pretty confident about my ability for the 1/2. I can run in the heat, but I cannot race well in it. On 1/2 marathon day, as soon as I woke up I checked the weather and the temps had fallen three degrees, not ten. It was 78 and humid at 3:30am and I was really unhappy because I felt like all my bigger race days are fluke weather days, and this was not typical of Cali at all from what I was told. I am too hard on myself on race day, so to avoid a frustrating experience, I told Jolie and our friend Greg that I wasn't going to run with them and that I was going to hang back and enjoy the course. The original plan was that Greg was going to pace us to a sub 2. The 1/2 was better organized and we slipped into our corral about 30 minutes prior to the 5:30am start. My sister sang the National Anthem and it was just awesome. She really did a great job! I was pretty nervous for her because that is a hard song to do, especially acapella in front of 20,000 people, but she rocked it. Then we were off! James took off to be fast like he always is. Peace out. Jolie and Greg took off too. I hung back but passed Nsyc's Joey in the first half mile. :D Ben and my dad hadn't signed up for the Dumbo Dare so they only ran the 10k the day before and spectated the 1/2 (which I know Ben regretted). This was my first Disney race weekend, and the course was amazing!! Running through an empty Disneyland when it is dark out and the lights are on, Worlds of Color is on, Car's Land, etc., was definitely an experience. I remember turning the corner to run right towards Car's Land all lit up and I was like, "OMG I LOVE LIIIIIIFE." Running through the park made the first few miles pass quickly. I pulled my arm sleeves down over my Garmin and just ran for feel, something I should do more often. I saw Ben and my dad right out of the park. :D I was happy to see them!! HI!!! Just before mile 6 I gave into the constant urge to peak at my watch and was thrilled to see that I was on track to a sub 2:00 race. Miracle!! I really thought I was running 25-30 seconds per mile slower based on my 10k feel. I decided to kick it up and go for it after all, and trust my training. I was feeling pretty good and the sun wasn't up yet so I knew I could do it if I fueled like mad. One other favorite point was entering the Angel's Stadium during mile 10, with all the cheering people and seeing myself on the jumbo screen. That was just awesome. So many rejuvenating moments. Miles 11 and 12...slightly boring. The sun came up and the struggle slowly began and I started focusing on my watch too much worrying that my effort levels would change and I'd let the sub 2 barely slip away. The pace got harder and I knew I should have fueled a little more, or even opened the second waffle stinger shoved in my bra (fail), begging to be eaten and stop chaffing me. I kept an 8:50ish pace and walked the aid stations to cool. I. Got. This. Must maintain a 9:09 average pace. Done! James finished first of our group in (official time) 1:43:47. Jolie got confetti shot off when she crossed! She finished right before the 2:00 mark!! Greg took off during the last mile and finished a minute or so prior. I finished seconds later. My official time: 2:00:34. :P I thought I had it, and my Garmin 13.1 split I did have it, but I knew I was in some serious time trouble when I couldn't even see the finish line when I hit the half marathon mark on my Garmin, and I had just over one minute to find it and cross it. I had 13.3 miles for the course so it's officially a no. I'm okay with that...this time. I still have my eyes on Tucson. Two lessons I learned were that starting slower is definitely the way to go (duh), and I need to believe in myself because I know I'm capable of much more than I give myself credit. I like to hit the lap button at my exact race distance and this time 13.1 = 1:58:51. My overall Garmin and official times were the same. Ben won't be spectating again. Watching everyone run really motivated him to set some good fall goals with running (can he get that sub 1:30?). Yay!! Next up? Las Vegas! Actually, hopefully there's something in between if I can talk our wallet into some more and the local weather cools a bit. It still only gets down to the high 80s at night. The Dumbo Dare-ers received three shirts and three medals! That was an epic weekend!! I would LOVE to do another Disney challenge. Can we rewind to last week?! Have a fantastic rest of the week! Holiday Mondays always make the week that much better.

Jubal nuzzled his owner’s neck, politely asking for a kiss, after he won grand champion in his class at the Southwestern Llama Show at the Fort Worth Stock Show on Thursday. “He is a sweetheart. He loves kisses,” said Brennda Gilmore of Boyd, Jubal’s owner. “They are like dogs and cats; every one has a different personality. You know when to leave them alone, if they have a headache, or whatever is going on.” Gilmore said Jubal, 5, knows when he is competing, because he isn’t just “plopping around – he struts.” Jubal is a pet. He has, on occasion, come into the house. He will even sit quietly for a Skype call with Gilmore’s grandchildren, she said. Llamas have been used as pack animals for centuries. Wally Juntilla, a llama owner at the event Thursday, uses his to carry supplies when he hikes. “They are better than the horses and all the other stuff,” Juntilla said. “They are neat animals and have neat personalities.” Their docile personalities make them good with children and llamas can be used as therapy animals. In the show, which continues today, llamas jump over obstacles, carry packs and participate in “public relations,” offering comfort through tasks such as lowering their heads to someone in a wheelchair. But their fierce protective instinct means the animals will protect a herd — any herd — from just about anything, said a competitor in Thursday’s show, Marcie Saska-Agnew. Saska-Agnew of Sunset got her first llama to guard her horses against coyotes and other predators. Her 6-month-old, Lone Ranger, took second place in his class at the stock show. Classes are based on age, type of wool and gender. The number of llama entries at the stock show is down by about half this year, said Jim Doyle, llama show coordinator. There were 67 entries for 2014 compared to 127 in 2013 and 167 in 2012. Doyle, who raises llamas in Krum in Denton County, blamed the economy and the rising cost of travel. Saska-Agnew said the show’s timing in the middle of the week limits the number of people who can enter, because kids have school and many adults can’t get off work. Doyle said stock shows are still the best way to advertise livestock and make sales. Doyle, who travels around the southern United States for stock shows, said the people and the llamas make the experience worth it.

I was sitting chatting to the present Mrs. C, waiting the arrival of a health care professional to help us with Karen's ongoing care requirements. I won't bore you with the details suffice to say, if you don't already know, that Mrs. C broke her neck 27 years ago, uses a wheelchair to get about but leads a busy life that makes me knackered trying to keep up. Enough of the back story. So, with two minutes to go before the arrival of our 'guest' my little black number throws a wobbly and has me apologising profusely to The Boss before I head out the door and hot-foot it across to North Lowestoft Fire Station. Archie, who's part of the South Lowestoft On Call crew is crossing the road with all his kit. To help keep pumps on the run, Archie has one of our alerters as his building work sees him working even closer to the fire station than me. Just as we get in the front door the turn out alarm starts, changing what was obviously a standby into a turn out. The incident is on Pinbush Road on the South Lowestoft Industrial Estate and it's now Make Pumps 3. I'm driving and, as usual, it's an interesting drive through Oulton Broad negotiating the traffic and the drivers that seem blissfully unaware of the fourteen ton truck lit up like a Christmas tree and emitting a plethora of load noises - bull horn included. Such fun! We pull up behind the two South Lowestoft pumps and immediately run hose from us to their second pump to supplement the water supply. They're using loads of water as the fire is well developed involving fuelled vehicles in a building and gas cylinders too. So hosereels, 45's and ground monitors are sending gallons upon gallons of water onto the fire. Archie and I take our pump away to fill up at a hydrant that's not on the same main as that already being used. So, It's A Knockout style we rock up at a hydrant and set to to get the water into the tank as quick as possible and then back to the fire ground. With plenty of hard work from the crews the fire was brought under control quickly. It's interesting to note that today's fire may well reflect how things will be in Lowestoft if the proposed cuts to frontline fire engines goes ahead. At the time of the shout South Lowestoft were only able to crew one of their two pumps - that's why we were sent on the Make Pumps 3. But after the cuts, which I feel are inevitable, this is how it will be - only three fire engines in Lowestoft, not four. Fire calls may well have dropped but the unique geography of Lowestoft, the large housing developments that are underway or planned plus the new wind farm business mean we're growing. These cuts mean there's no spare capacity. A person reported house fire gets three fire engines. That'll be all the fire engines in Lowestoft after the cuts. There'll be nothing left over for any incident - bin fire, RTC, whatever. Sorry, I'm rambling. Told you it'd had been far too long since I posted anything. Think I just made up for that! Posted at 20:01 in News, Shouts | Permalink | Comments (0) | Digg This | Save to del.icio.us | Lowestoft meeting to discuss cuts to Fire Service budget in Suffolk Around 80 people attended the public meeting on 1st February where the Chief Fire Officer, Mark Hardingham and Cllr Matthew Hicks sort to explain and 'sell' the proposed cuts to frontline fire engines and firefighters. The meeting, held at the swanky new council offices at Riverside, Lowestoft was well stage-managed and largely deflected any major spats for the the Fire Service or County Council. We sat on tables of 8, each with an officer present to answer general questions - our table was fortunate to have local Group Commander, John Tiffen. I have to say I've never seen so many officers in one place unless you count Endeavour House... The Chief gave a short presentation to explain the reduction and now plateau-ing of fires and RTC's and where the proposed cuts will be. We then, on each table discussed the proposals with the officer and numerous Lowestoft firefighters present able to answer questions from members of the public. Hopefully the answers given by the firefighters were not only helpful but from the heart, backed up by many years of operational experience. Each table then had a visit from the Chief for 10 minutes to answer questions followed soon after by Cllr Hicks for his allotted 10 minutes. I found the Chief to be open and honest and found that Cllr Hicks was the archetypal politician - smooth-talking and able to deflect questions with the ease of an accomplished batsman. My final point to Cllr Hicks went something like this: Me: Call me cynical but with the decision on these proposals being taken by the Cabinet whose nine members are all Conservative, these cuts are a done deal. Cllr Hicks: No, we'll be taking into consideration all the feedback given by people answering the consultation questionnaire. Me [under my breath]: Bollocks! My own view is that the proposals have been drafted with a little wriggle room. And I think it will be to not cut three fire engines in Ipswich but lose two instead. Time will tell... But I can promise you this. The thin red line will get thinner. Response times to all incidents will take longer - we're missing our self-imposed targets already, before the cuts.

Everyone loves some speed. While a truck built specifically for the trail needs a lot more torque than speed, trucks destined for more road than trail use can all use a little boost in power. There’s three main areas to upgrade your engine for speed and those are: Air coming in, air going out, and what your engine does with it in the middle. While you can upgrade cams, add nitrous, and other major changes, there are simpler and better ways to get steady, consistent power. The list is ordered from cheapest to most expensive and in all actuality should be done in this order anyway. 1. Air Filter Replacing your air filter is the best place to start when looking for more power for your truck. From the factory your truck most likely came with a sub-par paper filter that is more focused on cheaply catching particulate than allowing more airflow. All you need to do to dramatically increase your trucks ability to breathe better is to install a high-quality aftermarket air filter. While these will cost more than the factory replacement, they’re reusable basically forever with a little care and maintenance and best of all, they will let a LOT more air into your engine. 2. Cold Air Intake Believe it or not, the temperature of the air coming into your truck greatly affects how your engine handles it. Air is denser at colder temperatures, which means the colder air is, the more of it that fits into the combustion chamber. The more air you get into the engine at once, the more efficient and powerful it is. If you’ve ever drive your truck hard on a cold spring or fall morning you may have noticed it had a little more power, this is why. You can help you engine get the coldest air it can get by installing a cold air intake (CAI) in your truck. A CAI replaces your factory air box and routes the air intake closer to the ground and away from the heat of the engine. You probably shouldn’t install a CAI into the truck you go mudding with, but other than that CAIs are perfectly safe and will give you a marked increase in your power and speed. 3. Exhaust Once you’ve got your engine breathing in well, it’s time to get it breathing out a little better. Your exhaust system includes a lot of pieces, including the manifold, muffler, headers, tips, and catalytic converter, so it’s an area ripe for upgrading. You can choose to upgrade basically any part of the system and see some improvements, but most people start with the muffler. Installing a less restrictive muffler is a great way to allow the engine to rid itself of the exhaust from combustion, which means better combustion and more speed. Past the muffler, the most popular upgrade is what’s called a “cat-back” upgrade. This literally replaces everything from the catalytic converter back. So you get bigger pipes and a better muffler and while this does cost more than a muffler alone, it will give an even larger increase in power, responsiveness, and overall speed. 4. Performance Chip This is where things start to get technical. Chances are that your truck has an on-board computer that handles all the work when it comes to daily operation. From air-fuel mixtures to timing to knock prevention, the computer does it all. Because everything is handled in the computer, it’s a one-stop-shop for upgrades, a performance chip basically hacks the computer to give it some new information. The term “chip” can be somewhat misleading as while older versions of this were actually chips that you installed via a plug, many today actually reprogram the computer via a laptop. Some of these “chips” can be installed and adjusted by you and me, but the more hard-core changes should be done by a custom tuner, since the bigger the gains, the more fine-tuning is required. A computer chip or reprogram can give you huge boosts in power and speed, sometimes in the 50-horsepower range or higher. When doing big upgrades to other components, sometimes a computer upgrade is required and the combined force will give you huge increases of 100hp or more. 5. Supercharger The last item in our list is easily the most expensive. A supercharger will give huge boosts to power and speed, but there is a significant cost involved. Superchargers can give you up to 50% increase in the power your truck currently has, which is why there is such a high cost involved. A supercharger is basically a device that runs off of a belt in your engine that pulls more air into the engine that could naturally go into it. This means more fuel-air mixing, which means more power. Not every engine can accept a bolt-on supercharger, but many can. Depending on the engine you’re starting with you can see some pretty huge improvements really quickly. Major increases in power will require upgrades to internal components and to the computer, but this can be a slow process, building up to the fastest truck you can afford.

20"x30" Hand Stenciled Oval Patch Braided Rug Day dawns, the sun kisses the sea; golden shadows awaken this mermaid. Today is her 15th birthday; its time to ascend, view the world beyond her aquatic home, see how humans live. Her rise is swift, suns warmth touches her face; her eyes close. Her flowing blonde hair dances, in her hand the magic star fish, she keeps it close. Scared but feeling fiercely alive her eyes open, just as a young prince falls from the bow of a ship. She reels him to shore, places the star above his head, his eyes open, he kisses and embraces her; at once her tail becomes legs. She is human, she feels love.

Thank You Nashville There are two things I know for sure. One, you can't just call Nashville music city anymore. Not that there's anything wrong with that, however it is just that Nashville is SO-MUCH-MORE. And two, that city sure has heart. Oh my goodness. I hugged so many strangers over the course of my stay in Nashville for Nashville Fashion Week. And I'm a Tennessee girl by way of Chattanooga so I'm used to lots of love and southern hugs. Plus my family is a bunch of huggers, but still, talking about hugging strangers, Nashvegas gets its hugs on. And I like (smile). Everyone was just so sweet. And I'm talking even outside of the Nashville Fashion Week folk. I've been to Nashville plenty of times before, so I like to believe it's genuine stuff. There was impeccable service from every single person in every single department at Whole Foods Green Hills. You know that kind of service where there's a genuine conversation going on about what you're cooking for the evening. And when you ask where the raisins are, the person helping you walks you over to show you the exact spot. I'm so bad with names, however I remember a Ricky, Jasmine, John and Taylor just being so nice. And again, everyone was so super sweet. And then there was Brian and Jake over at Allen Edmonds who rocked my world. They knew everything about everything when it came to those super hot shoes. I mean shoes so hot they turn you on. Seriously. The leather is like butta, so smooth and creamy and just plain ole sexy. Well, I guess butter isn't all that sexy, but boy does it make everything and anything taste good, just like I bet those Allen Edmonds make every guy and his outfit look pretty darn delectable. {Photo by And then there were the ladies over at UAL. I think I left with a cavity they were so sweet. LOL I'm being silly and still coming down off my sugary, sweet Nashvegas high. Seriously, the ladies over at UAL ran such a well oiled machine all while keeping smiles and looking super cute. Mildred remembered every guest by name. She so effortlessly kept a wait list of who was next for the dressing rooms, checked in on each guests by name to see how their dressing room experiences were going and the ladies even took time to take photos for my blog and the newspaper to which I contribute. I tell you what. I could go on and on. However I am just going to say again, a big HUGE Thank you Nashville and share below the awesome businesses and people behind them. It was a pleasure meeting everyone. And I am so bad with names. I'm working on that, so please forgive me if I have forgotten anyone. And another thing, of course I didn't even meet everyone. So just think about it. There's even more sweetness and amazing talent walking around Nashville.

This blog is dedicated to solving business problems with practical, common sense, easy to implement solutions powered by SharePoint and SQL Server. Wednesday, October 5, 2011 Dynamic Hyperlinks in Calculated Columns I recently was faced with an interesting problem. I needed to create a list column that referenced a field in the list and then dynamically constructed a URL to a filtered view of a document library. Specifically, the users needed to be able to enter the title of a company in a list item, and then have clickable links created that would take them to a separate document library, and only show them documents that belonged to that company. The solution I implemented was developed by Christophe at Path To SharePoint. His solution was a lifesaver. I give full credit to him. I did find that I had trouble following some of his instructions, so I'm going to post a simplified version of how I implemented it here, along with a few pointers that I uncovered along the way. The solution is two fold: Create the list that will hold the name of the company and the hyperlink field Embed a Content Editor web part in the page that contains a JavaScript that will render the hyperlinks in a friendly manner. Creating the list: For illustration purposes, we'll have a list that holds the titles of websites and builds links to their websites dynamically. Create a list with a field called "Title". This will hold the name of the website. Next create a field called "Hyperlink". This field will be a calculated field that will dynamically build the hyperlink to the website of that name. Enter the following formula in the definition of the Hyperlink field: This will dynamically build a hyperlink of It will also open the link in a new window. However there's a problem. I created a list item and entered "ESPN" as the website title. Here's what it looks like: As you can see, the hyperlink isn't exactly user friendly, and it also isn't a clickable link. There is no way I know of to make a dynamically built hyperlink in a calculated field that is user friendly and clickable. Christophe came to the rescue by pointing out that you could embed a content editor web part at the bottom of a page that holds a script that will render the hyperlink correctly. So, create a web part page, place a list view at the top of the page and place a CEWP at the bottom of the page. You can grab his script at using calculated columns to write html. Make sure that the CEWP is at the bottom of the page. Also, make sure you set the Chrome to 'None' so that the CEWP is completely invisible to the users. Now when you view your page, it will look like this: You can see the link now renders correctly, and it is also clickable. Since the hyperlink is a calculated field, you can edit the list item and change the title from ESPN to MSDN. The hyperlink will automatically update. This is a powerful tool. I was able to use it to link to a filtered view of other document libraries so that only documents belonging to the item in question were displayed. Thanks to Christophe for the great work.

Add To Wishlist With the clarity and depth characteristic of the classics, this spiritual bestseller lays out a perceptive and insightful plan for living a spiritual life and achieving the ultimate goal of that life -- union with God.Nouwen views our spiritual ""ascent"" as evolving in three movements. The first, from loneliness to solitude, focuses on the spiritual life as it relates to the experience of our own selves. The second, from hostility to hospitality, deals with our spiritual life as a life for others. The final movement, from illusion to prayer, offers penetrating thoughts on the most mysterious relationship of all: our relationship to God. Throughout, Nouwen emphasizes that the more we understand (and not simply deny) our inner struggles, the more fully we will be able to embrace a prayerful and genuine life that is also open to others' needs.Reaching Out is a rich book to be read, reread, pondered, and shared with others.

Hiking Lady McDonald For her birthday, a friend of ours invited us to go for a hike up Lady McDonald, and Zevi and I jumped at the chance to get out to the mountains. Located just North of Canmore, the hike is a quick trip from Calgary. Thirteen of us gathered at the bottom of the trail and started making our way to the summit. It was a gorgeous blue sky day, and not even an accidental wrong turn could dampen our spirits! The way up was a pretty steep slog, with barely any flats or downhills to be found on the trip to the top. The trail was well marked, though, and although we had to navigate through a few rocky sections, I never felt unsafe or unsure of my footing. I’d worn a tank top under my long sleeved shirt not really expecting to strip down to just that layer, but on the first half of the hike the sun was so strong that I was actually sweating in my sleeveless shirt! Definitely not the weather I’d normally expect to find in the mountains in March. Once we got nearer to the summit, things started to feel a bit more like early spring. The wind picked up, the clouds rolled in, and we started to see a few more patches of snow. There was still far less snow than I’d generally expect to see at this time of year, though. One of the great things about this hike is that you get to see gorgeous views all the way up, which erased any disappointment of not making it it to the actual summit. We were told that it was a fairly challenging scramble to get there, and that with the frigid wind howling the way it was it was pretty unrealistic to take that on. I was pretty happy with what we’d accomplished, and although I didn’t run up and down the mountain twice like one of our friends did, my legs were definitely burning by the end. We capped off the day by stuffing our tired faces with delicious food at Crazyweed. There aren’t many better ways to spend a Sunday than enjoying fresh mountain air and a great meal with friends!

12 Oct Twitch Posted at 14:41h in News by boomtown Share By Senzo Xulu The human body is quite an amazing place to be. Although physiology aside, the most remarkable thing about the co-ordinated mass of flesh and bones that we call home is the actual life that it carries. You and me. Our personalities, our character, the things that distinguish us and the things we do to fit in or fit out of the contexts we find ourselves in. According to data, around half a million people worldwide find themselves within the context of advertising and communication. Compare that to the company or agency you work for and it’s quite a big number. Compare it to the world’s population and it doesn’t seem that grand a number after all. Either way, if you took away those 500 000 people, the world would be a very different place. I’ll leave it to your imagination as to what that kind of world may be like, but I’m sure we both agree it would certainly be different. Thinking of our industry in this way has led me to believe that the world, in most instances, experiences or interacts with advertising as a ‘whole being’ – if you like. Advertising, like politics and other industries that have a direct impact on society, is often always referred to in the singular. It’s seen through the lens of what the whole industry is doing. Undoubtedly, each country has its own advertising climate or flavour, like the Scandinavians being known for their amazing tech or the Japs and their larger than life imagination. The same could be said for agencies with the likes of Wieden and Kennedy, who are consistently pushing the boundaries of what’s creatively possible with the so-called ‘dying out’ medium that is television. Closer to home, we’re seriously starting to wonder if there is something in the water at Ogilvy Joburg as they have, on more than one occasion, spectacularly set the global benchmark for radio advertising. And yet all these feats of advertising excellence, and the creative nuances of the countries that produce them, are but a part of the overall footprint that advertising makes on the world. I want to believe that it’s the sum total of the entire effect of the 500 000 people in our industry that, if significant enough, history will record. But all these thoughts, when coupled with my slight dabbling in human anatomy, paint a simple notion that perhaps advertising can be likened to the human body. Filled with an abundance of life, diversity, complexity and the capacity to use its capabilities for a variety of outcomes. One such capability that has interested me of late, is advertising’s ability to think and to think really fast. In fact, if you look at it from a physiological angle, you could get painfully technical about whether this quick-thinking is as a result of our industry’s autonomic or somatic nervous system. Simply put, the body’s autonomic nervous system (ANS) is responsible for functions not consciously directed such as breathing and digesting whereas the somatic nervous system (SNS) refers to voluntary muscular and skeletal control. In fact, for both you and I, our ANS’s are at work right now as we have probably taken a couple of breaths while reading this sentence. Neat huh. And it’s your SNS that is making the muscles in your eyes move from left to right as you read this next sentence. One happens on its own, and the other receives a ‘cue’ to. As an industry, you could argue that we’re built on relying on our SNS because that’s how we do the actions that we are in control of. We make projections and billings and media plans. We create artwork and budgets and strategies. 100% in control and therefore, generally, a 100% predictable outcome. But then you get that Superbowl tweet from Oreo (well, 360i actually) in 2013 when the stadium lights went out. Or that time when Nando’s (Black River FC) made an unforgettable ad in response to Ard Matthews’ very forgettable national anthem mess-up in 2011. But forget about real-time marketing or tactical advertising. Buzzwords are not a guarantee for successful or memorable advertising. The success behind the aforementioned ’tactical’ pieces of work is that the agencies set themselves up to do them. No luck involved. Canadian agency john street created a delightful parody video called reactvertising that sums up just how buzzwords (particularly ‘real-time’) can actually end up skewing our common sense as an industry. But when you put real-time and tactical advertising aside, the real challenge for our industry is to remain as fleet-footed as possible. One of the most amazing functions of the autonomic nervous system is what is commonly known as fight or flight. When induced, people are known to jump over ridiculously high walls and mother’s can move cars off their children. In those moments, the body does some incredible things to basically go into superhuman mode. In that light, the popularity of real-time advertising isn’t quite yet at that level, it’s more like a twitch at the moment. But I believe this is still good news for the industry. Brands like Adidas and their 2014 brazuca campaign prove that twitch-thinking isn’t about a few lucky posts or tweets, but it is actually a campaignable methodology. For sure, we also sometimes twitch and say really silly things, but that further buttresses why it shouldn’t be about jumping on the hashtag-wagon. Doing it right is going to be a stretch for agencies and brands alike because how do you begin to plan to react/contribute to something you don’t know will happen? As we figure it out though, I’m sure we’ll come to realise that the nimbler our industry is, the better. That there does exist is a place for us to be as fleet-footed as we are sure-footed. And it could be that that place may never overtly introduce itself to us, it could just start off as a little twitch.

... i don't know why ...when i said "random" in selection members of group,students always shockedI had a great conversation last night with my relatives.. It's all about "randomizing method in a group". Why I chose it as a topic, these are my reasons:At the first time, it was a joke or we called it as "gojek kere". I only need TO (Target Operation) to complete my mission. Then, I said "random" to them (TO) and they shocked. Tadaaaaa, "gojek kere" was begin..This is not about revenge from my past (I got "random" too). I'm not gaining profit from this case. If somebody say that, it's just a silly thing.I learn from Getting Real (thanks to Mr.Riyono). I got lots of new visions.In the real business world, we couldn't choose our partner. We would work at somewhere, meet new guys and need new adaptation too. Is it random or not?I love to know the psychology of people around me. I love to check their personality. I love to observe the act and react law in my life.How about the students?I divided them into 2 classes, the diligent one and the lazy for the others.The diligent class would answer: "don't use randomizing method, please"The lazy class would answer: "...."Could you imagine, why they answer like that???--- humans are social beings, right? --- Diposkan oleh mic'lee di 9:34 AM Label: my ideas 2 comments: wkwkwkwkwkJanuary 29, 2010 at 12:00 AMthe lazy class would've answered "you know what, it's all up to you... it's not gonna bring any difference to me..."am i 29, 2010 at 11:15 PM@wkwkwkwkwkbefore they say like that, they will reject the method firstor mumble, right?the last choice is "you know commentLoad more...

A new spinning wheel = a new skein of yarn. It's only 37 yards in length, but it's lovely, oh so lovely.I'm very pleased with the new wheel (you can get one for yourself at Ford4Him over on Etsy). I'm also quite pleased with spinning on the wheel. I was nervous about sitting down to spin tonight. I didn't have anyone to show me how, I was learning from videos and such online, and what other tips I had came via Twitter posts and Etsy convos, this made me nervous. But I spun, slowly, methodically, and voila - a skein.If it wasn't past 10PM, I'd go dig up some more wooly batts and spin another skein. However; 'tis late and this girly still has a long week ahead of her.Bon nuit. Posted by idyll hands at 10:14 PM 10 comments: Labels: hand spinning, spinning wheel, yarn It's finally here! Say now - what could possibly be in this box that the post office had for me?Why, it's my new spinning wheel. Hoorah! Posted by idyll hands at 5:35 PM 4 comments: 9.29.2008 Ready...set...go! Finally I've taken new photographs and even added some new items to my shop. It was long over due.I'm not going to lie when I say that October is going to be hell for me. Work is insanely busy this month with shows and receptions out the yahoo (yes, out the yahoo). Aside from work, which is to be expected, I've got life to deal with. So life + work... oh yeah... + a huge craft show = one tired 27 year old. I'm looking forward to the craft show... and looking forward to some aspects of work (however, I wish the work part was spread out over a couple of months).High points that work will bring in October:Itzhak PerlmanSlow DancingScrapArtsMusicSo you see, there will be some wicked events taking place at Walton Arts Center in October. However, it is going to wear me to the bone.Hopefully, the new photos I've taken will hold my shop over for a couple of weeks. Once I get through October's work schedule and craft show schedule, I can concentrate on some new items.In other news, my spinning wheel arrived today, but the post office is holding it hostage. The postage wasn't enough, so I need to pay $5. No big deal, but kind of annoying. However, I'll have it in my hands tomorrow.Wheeee!

Banana Bread!This afternoon I had the feeling that cooler, fall like weather will soon be knocking on my door (like, on Wednesday - I checked the weather) and cooler, fall like weather calls for baking. Thankfully I had a bunch of overripe bananas just begging to be mushed up into some banana bread.It JUST came out of the oven and mmmmm, it smells delicious. I think I'll go have a seat and fill my belly. Posted by idyll hands at 7:12 PM 1 comment: Labels: baking, banana bread, bread, fall 9.25.2008 Christmas Sale Number 1 - check. A friend of mine has already started her Christmas shopping with a few purchases from my shop and a custom order. I love custom orders. I always have, sometimes I wonder "why on earth did I say I'd do this" but in the end, I love them. This time I didn't grumble at all. I've needed a reason to make something, to sit at my table and play with my wire, chain, beads, and other goodies. I needed something to get my mind off of today.Today was slightly more stressful (okay, extremely more) than usual. I suppose that is how cancer works. Some days are good, full of laughter and smiles and some are stressful, full of tears and the constant question of "why" going through my head.I try to stay upbeat about this and for the most part I am. But sometimes I find myself thinking about my mom, some memories from the past, some from the way past, some from just a few days ago. They make me cry and I'm sure they will for a while. I don't know how this is going to turn out - hopefully it turns out well and she has many, many more years ahead of her. She's healthy, strong, positive, and loved. I just KNOW this will pass.I just know it.Sorry - this post went downhill fast, but it's hard to ignore what's on your mind. Perhaps some thoughts of future spinning adventures will cheer me up. Perhaps I'll go pick out some wool for my first attempt at the wheel... once it gets here. Bon nuit. Posted by idyll hands at 9:16 PM 1 comment: Labels: Christmas, Christmas Shopping, custom order, Etsy, Idyll Hands 9.22.2008 I did it I finally purchased a spinning wheel this evening. Now I'll be completely impatient waiting for it to arrive. I have so many wonderful batts to spin up and I'm not sure I'll make it until it gets here. I'll explode! Posted by idyll hands at 10:31 PM 5 comments: 9.09.2008 Update Successful What? I listed a new item in my Etsy shop tonight? Get out!It has taken me just about FOREVER to get some pictures I liked of some of my new items. By forever I mean at least 3 weeks. They are not exactly my favorite pics, but they will do. Once the sun comes out while I'm at home, I'll get some really great pictures, but for now, I feel like I can list items again. Oh, and even better picture new, Canon is going to fix my broken camera so I'll really be back to normal soon.I also sat down and fixed a couple of necklaces that didn't survive when my craft show display took a nosedive off of the window sill the other day. They are as good as new. While that didn't lead to any new items, I did sit down and so something at my desk. I finally unpacked the last 2 boxes of crafting goodies I had this past Sunday when I added a shelf to my set up. Now it's a mess.I said I unpacked them, I didn't say anything about organizing them.I still have grandiose visions of really putting a dent in getting the crafting area cleaned up and the guest room organized before Friday night. Barbara, a roomie from my days in Austin, is coming up for a visit and to watch The Longhorns trample the Razorbacks on TV (didn't get tickets to the game in Austin, so coming up to Fayetteville is the next best thing I though, and so did Barbara). It's not that I need to impress Barbara with my mad organizational skills, it's just that I want it to look put together for my sake. I want to be a good hostess with a relaxing guest room and amazing guest bath.Ah well, perhaps it will be done in time for my next visitor.I already know what a certain one of you will say - something along the lines of "it's okay to take it easy". I know it is... I'm guilty of being just like my mom. Always going going going.

My last post was a bit vague, and I apologize for that. I'm not sure how to write about what I've been dealing with this past week. Thankfully, my sister is good with words and is able to write about it.You can read about it at her blog here.So yeah, cancer - the big "C" word. It's a bad word and I really never thought I'd have to deal with it. It was one of those things that other people deal with, but not my family. I suppose I've been wrong before.I haven't done much of anything except sit at the hospital this past week with my mom and my sister. It's been a long and stressful week - more so for my mom than me, but still, stressful. I did take some time today to check out an art festival, do some shopping for jewelry supplies online and watch Bridge to Tarabithia (not a good one to watch if you are already emotional - I should have known, the book made me cry like a baby when I was elementary school). It was nice to do those things, but I felt badly that I was not with my mom. I think I'll head back up to the hospital in the morning because I'd rather be there, reading a magazine with my mom than at home making jewelry.I have my priorities. Posted by idyll hands at 11:00 PM 10 comments: Labels: cancer 9.05.2008 Life Happens Life has not been full of crafting, cooking or gardening this week. I've been busy with other things that life can throw your way.I promise to return to blogging very soon - hopefully with some super pictures taken on my new background.I really appreciate those who have been keeping my family in your thoughts this week. Keep sending the good thoughts! Posted by idyll hands at 8:30 PM 5 comments: 9.01.2008 And once again, I'm one with my pictures. A huge thanks goes out to my sister, Punkinhead and Girlchild on Etsy. She brought a lovely cabinet door to the craft show this weekend for a potential display piece. Well, it didn't work for the show but it's going to be FABULOUS for pictures of my jewelry on Etsy. It has a similar look to the background that I used before I moved from the house that provided that background. The best part about the door is that it is portable. I'll be able to take it outside to a sunny spot and shoot picture after picture. Yay.In post-craft show news, I believe it was a successful show. 6 Hands (my sister, mom and myself) did well as a group. Each one of us made about the same amount of money and had better sales than the past show. I think it gets better and better each show. We do better with our display, with our pricing, with our tent, etc etc etc. I have a very good feeling about the show in October which, if I'm counting right, is only 5 weekends away.However, as much as I love the craft fair, I'm EXHAUSTED and am glad it's over for a few weeks. I'm going to spend this evening unpacking, maybe listing some new items on Etsy, and waiting for my frozen pizzas to make it home from the store with my Sweet Boy.I hope everyone had a great Labor Day weekend.

In a post last week, I mentioned that I was sending a hair sample from my appaloosa mare to UC Davis, in order to find out what color she truly was. Underneath her white pattern, the base color was an odd brown shade. I found over time that most horse people were inclined to call her black, but her lower legs were tan. Typically when black horses fade in the sun, their lower legs retain color in the same area that is black on a bay horse. This Percheron is a good example. He looks bay, but genetic tests show him to be black. That is why the hair above the hoof is often a good indicator for determining if the horse is faded black or a liver chestnut.The hair on my horse's lower legs was most definitely not black. If anything, it has always been the palest area of color on her, as this winter picture of the back of her leg shows.So it would be reasonable to believe she was chestnut. Still, to someone who looks at color a lot, there was something "off" in the tone for her to be chestnut. Certainly some chestnuts are a rather dull color, but the tone was enough for me to suspect she was some kind of dilute. Recent studies on the appaloosa patterns had shown that many black appaloosas had their color altered, and I had long noted that many appaloosas had base colors that were just hard to pin down as any specific thing. I suspected that this was what was going on with Sprinkles, but without a test I couldn't really be sure.Yesterday I received her test results, and my guess was right. She is "aa" - genetically black. She carries the chestnut gene (e) but is not herself chestnut.With that in mind, I thought it might be fun to post a group of photos showing some lower legs and the difference in tone between some of the colors. This is the kind of thing that artists need to keep in mind when painting different colors, because getting the tone right makes all the difference in portraying a given color.One caveat though. Photographs are not the best way to really see these differences. All the ways we record and transmit images (film, printing, monitors) can distort color, and with something like this what we are dealing with are very subtle differences in tone. These are my own images, taken with the same equipment in close proximity to one another, but still viewing these colors in real life (preferrably side-by-side) is the best way to see. Indeed, the tone in color is really best studied from life because the camera rarely captures what is so obvious in person. But we will do the best we can with what is possible over the internet!These are the legs of a sooty palomino pony. Notice how yellow in tone the lightest areas are. "Yellowness" is one of the best indicators for the presence of the cream gene. (For those that downloaded the new color charts, these legs go with the palomino pony pictured on the second page.)These are the legs of a red silver pony. This horse is genetically bay, and you can see the unaltered red hairs on the upper leg. His black lower leg has been diluted by the silver gene, turning it a bluish chocolate. The overall tone on the lower legs is very cool, especially compared to the yellow of the palomino above.And these are Sprinkle's legs. Again, she's genetically black so like the silver legs above, this is a diluted form of black. The color isn't cool, however. It isn't yellow, but it's not really red either. If I had to call it something, I would say it is a bronze tone. I would also add that she does not really fade to this color; it's pretty constant through the seasons.Here is a side-by-side comparison of the leg color, with an addition of a sooty chestnut to compare against a truly red leg. (With all these images, you can click to get a larger version.)And finally here is Sprinkles' legs beside a flaxen chestnut leg and a truly black leg, showing the contrasting tones.No one really knows at this point why the pattern dilutes the black on some appaloosas, and of course some aren't diluted at all. But it does happen with some frequency, and it offers a neat variation for artists painting appaloosas.

January 6, 2017January 21, 2017 | Quentin Budworth The door opens to a flat in a state of great disrepair near Pearson Park, I am greeted by a smiling Sarah Jayne Curry who says I’ve been playing with coffee, her arms are stained brown with it, we go upstairs and make this picture … Trainspotting is a 1996 British black comedy drama film directed by Danny Boyle, and starring Ewan McGregor, Ewen Bremner, Jonny Lee Miller, Kevin McKidd, Robert Carlyle and Kelly Macdonald in her acting debut. Based on the novel of the same name by Irvine Welsh, the film was released in the United Kingdom on 23 February 1996. The Academy Award nominated screenplay by John Hodge follows a group of heroin addicts in a late 1980s economically depressed area of Edinburgh and their passage through life. Beyond drug addiction, other themes in the film are exploration of the urban poverty and squalor in “culturally rich” Edinburgh. The film has been ranked 10th by the British Film Institute (BFI) in its list of Top 100 British films of all time. In 2004 the film was voted the best Scottish film of all time in a general public poll. With thanks to Barry Weldon for his digital edit on the final image. Advertisements Share this:Like Loading...
