I have a ASUS RT-N66U and it isn't quite working right now.
Okay, I'll describe the problem I'm having:
Whenever I plug in and start my ASUS, only three lights come on the front. )1 and 2 and the connected to the internet light.) Strange lights because I don't have anything plugged into the first and second port, and the internet isn't even plugged in right now to it. Also, the power button doesn't light up. The reset button doesn't do anything either.. fantastic.
I was wondering if anyone has ever had this problem or knows how to do a reset of the whole device without using the actual reset button. Thanks a bunch.
Here is a picture of what my ASUS is doing right now:

Solutions for every budget and application.
Apollo and Halo
Quick-collapsible modifiers for studio lights and speedlites.
One of the most favored modifiers on the market, the Apollo is a Westcott original that has been consistently improved throughout the past 20 years. Constructed with the capabilities of a high-end softbox on an easy-to-use umbrella style frame, the Apollo and Halo take any guesswork out of modifying both speedlites and light heads. Mount these softboxes with a common umbrella shaft and shoot effortlessly in an instant.
Pro Signature and Pro Softboxes
Quality construction, warranted for years.
Designed with superior heat-resistant fabrics and solid steel framework, Westcott's line of professional softboxes are built to last. With a wide range of rectangulars, strips, and octas, all Pro Softboxes are back by a 5 or 7 year warranty. Purchase in cost-effective kits or pair these sophisticated modifiers with the Spiderlite TD6 or other constant lighting to build the refined studio you've always dreamed.
Photo Umbrellas
The essential light modifiers.
Designing and manufacturing umbrellas since 1899, Westcott is no amateur when it comes to these essential lighting modifiers. Constructed with a lightweight fiberglass frame, Westcott has developed a durable, heavy-duty photography lighting umbrella without adding to the overall weight of the product, allowing for simple on-location shooting and quick mounting with any standard umbrella-mount.
Rapid Box Series
Ultra-portable studio and speedlite modifiers.
For speedlites, strobes, and constant lighting, the Rapid Box and the Rapid Box XL/XXL series are designed for convenience and portability. Durable lightweight materials are partnered with an umbrella-style frame, allowing for remarkably quick assembly. These softboxes feature built-in mourning capabilities, eliminating the need for excess adapters, and come standard with diffusion options.
Zeppelin Para Series

Featuring a vast depth and highly-reflective interior, the Zeppelin is available in 35", 47" and 59" versions. Create a stunning wraparound light with this praiseworthy new modifier for portrait, fashion, and commercial photographers.

Every Corvette owner knows his or her car has a vehicle identification number (VIN) that's intended to help prevent theft and aid in the recovery of the car if stolen. But that's not the only reason behind the original car-ID system that was introduced in the U.S. in 1954. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Association (NHTSA), which administers the VIN program, "One of the original purposes was to enhance public safety…based on the assumption that drivers of stolen vehicles are more likely to operate those vehicles unsafely and thus be involved in vehicle crashes."
Today's VINs serve a much wider purpose than theft prevention, recovery, and public safety. "The VIN has…become the key identifier in data systems that track such things as compliance with federal importation regulations, vehicle registrations, insurance coverage, and motor vehicle crashes. Entities that today utilize VINs in data systems include NHTSA, state motor-vehicle departments, law-enforcement agencies, insurance companies, organizations involved in motor vehicle research, and manufacturers," says the agency.
In addition to these regulatory and safety functions, VINs allow Corvette owners to obtain certain historical information, depending on the year of the vehicle.
From 1953 through 1964, the Corvette's VIN provided data in a 10-digit sequence, showing model, model year, assembly plant, and serial number, respectively. (Note: '55 Corvettes used an 11-digit VIN sequence that began with the letter "V" to designate the V-8 engine in the vehicle.)
Model-year '65-'71 Corvettes used a 13-digit VIN system, which listed GM Division, car line or series, engine type (V-8, but not the specific engine option), body style, model year, assembly plant, and production sequence number.
In 1972, General Motors revised the VIN for all of its divisions and their models, including Chevrolet and the Corvette. The new alphanumeric sequence included engine type—not just whether the engine was a V-8—and assigned a specific letter (later, single-digit numbers were used, too) to every RPO engine available in the Corvette during the model year. This change made it possible to quickly identify a Corvette's original engine option by looking at the alphanumeric character in the fifth position on the VIN and decoding it.
In 1976, the Motor Vehicle Manufacturers Association petitioned NHTSA to adopt a 17-digit industry-standard VIN, which the agency did in 1981. The new system added even more data to the metal plate, including country of origin, manufacturer, and restraint system installed. Though later revised for uniformity across all domestic and import vehicle lines—and to include a scannable bar code—it's still in use today and is scheduled to remain in use for the next 30 years.
GM keeps VIN Data cards from model year '72 through '11 in a database system, as a way of helping dealers' service departments decode VIN-plate data. (Our research shows that 1972 is the first year of the VIN Data cards.) In Part 1, we'll help you decode Corvette VINs from 1972 through 1982. Over the next few months, we'll show you how to decode the VINs found on '84-'11 Corvettes.
Note: GM's Passenger Car VIN Data cards are inconsistent in naming data fields. For example, in some years GM calls the model-year code "Year Designation," while in others it calls it "Last Digit of Model Year." We've left the data-field-naming anomalies exactly as they appear on the official cards. Corvette owners who are interested in decoding '53-'71 Corvette VINs may find decoders on the Internet or in myriad books dedicated to the subject.
Example: 1Z37K2S123456
1 - Division Line (1=Chevrolet)
2 - Series (Z=Corvette)
3-4 - Body Style (37=Coupe, two-door hardtop, 67=Coupe, two-door convertible)
5 - Engine Type (K=350ci/200hp, L=350ci/255hp, W=454ci/270hp)
6 - Year Designation (2=1972)
7 - Plant (S=St. Louis, Missouri)
8-13 - Serial (Starts at 500001 through 527004)

Prepping For Show-Quality Paint
It has long been said that a paint job is only as good as the prep, but that leaves out the answer of just how to get there. A decent paint job will take a fairly intensive amount of prep work-undeniably hard and skilled work. Raising the bar and going for the ultimate glamour finish seen on a show-car takes exponentially more of the same. For the paint work on our project Corvette, we substantially disassembled the car, stripped off all traces of the old finish, and primers. We were fairly well invested in effort before even lifting a spray gun. We were well past the point of no return here, and there was no way we'd compromise the job now with a hurried prep job. No, the goal here is to make the car's body as straight and sharp as a pin, for a flawless look once the color is applied.
The Fill Is In
Our project car had never suffered any accident damage, and the fiberglass below was in exactly the condition it left GM-no better, no worse. The fact is that these cars weren't built as showpieces in terms of body prep, and virtually every one of them will exhibit minor flaws under heavy scrutiny. Our car was no exception, and the bare, stripped body panels told the tale. The relatively smooth No. 220-grit wet sanding given to the surface as the final stripping stage makes it fairly easy to pinpoint these surface flaws by feel. A minor dip here, a little rise there, we could discern the kinds of flaws that separate a stock body from custom show-quality bodywork. Some guys will cake on heavy layers of primer to deal with all but the most flagrant defects, but this isn't the best approach. The only real choice here is using polyester filler in a very light skim wherever we could feel a defect.
Working with filler, like most paint and body tasks, is an acquired skill. The filler coat must be skimmed on in just enough quantity to fill the flaw, without excessive buildup. It also helps to taper the application all around, avoiding laying down a hard edge that will be difficult to feather later when sanding. Working a fiberglass body takes more finesse than a steel car, where a rough cut with No. 36 grit or files can be applied without worrying about the adjacent surface. Fiberglass is easy to gouge, so the best approach is careful application of the filler to very close to the needed shape, keeping the heavy sanding with rough grits to a minimum.
All the filler on this car was worked with No. 80 grit on a long, rigid sanding board. While some suggest that the highly curved body of the C3 Corvette makes the flat long board useless, there is actually no area of the car that cannot be worked successfully with this tool, once the technique is mastered. The result will be superior to what can be achieved with flexible rubber hoses, foam pads, stirring sticks, and a multitude of other sanding aids.

Xen/Vmware/Hyper-V are class 1 or bare metal hypervisors
Oracle Virtualbox, Vmare Workstation, Vmware Player, Parellels Workstation are class 2 hypervisors that need an underlying OS.
You are gonna get better performance running a class 1 hypervisor.
Posted 29 March 2013 - 16:15
Hyper-V is always a type1 hypervisor. Once you enable Hyper-V, the OS you log into on that machine is ultimately just a VM with special permissions (Hyper-V server is just server core with no other roles/features - it's no different than a full Server or Win8 client OS in that it's just the "management partition" VM).
Hyper-V can be either bare-metal (MIcrosoft Hyper-V Server) or use an underlying OS (Windows Server 2008 and later or Windows 8/Blue)

Really? The game is trying to pull itself out of the grave, and you post the first screenshot with that?
The game has vastly improved from 1.0,
Combat is fluid, movement is fluid. The UI is responsive, and well thought out. The races are many, and the options to customize them are many. The game has the feeling of FFXI, while retaining what a staple MMO of 2013 should have. The fact it is multi-platform and you can pick between JP/NA & EU servers, combined with auto-translate functions creates a vivid community of people from all over the world. It is about time an MMO with a decent community came out of the woodwork, I miss that in games of this nature.
I can't wait, having played in the XIV 1.0 alpha/beta to live to 2.0 alpha/beta... It has been a long time coming, and quite honestly i'm tired of waiting. The next few months should seal the deal, and decide if all of this has been in vain for Square Enix.
Posted 24 June 2013 - 15:10
I played a few minutes of the beta, and I played just as far in the original beta, and I just cannot get into this game. It just feels Dated already. I think one of the things that hurts the game for me, is that its a newer game and it does not have voice acting for required sequences, events you cannot skip that you have to read through.
Other than that there are just a lot of little things that make the game not fun for me.
Posted 01 August 2013 - 22:26
So square released a new version of the benchmark today(here:NA/EU) and i'm rather impressed with it. It's nearly identical in content to the first but my average framerate went up about 20fps(on max settings) compared the original one. Also, this benchmark allows you to make your character how you want it and import it into the release version. Which is quite nice.
Posted 01 August 2013 - 22:55
Is it a subscription game? If it is I'll pass. It's not the money, it's the time. I don't have time to force myself to make the most out of the time I pay for in an MMO. If it's free there is no pressure and I can enjoy my playtime. It's why I still love GW2.
It is.
On the PS3 the targeting with the control pad is atrocious.
I can't say I really enjoyed the beta on either PC or PS3 which is a shame. I found it to be strikingly similar to FFXII.

Kuwait is situated northeast of Saudi Arabia at the northern end of the Persian Gulf, south of Iraq. It is slightly larger than Hawaii. The low-lying desert land is mainly sandy and barren.
Kuwait is a constitutional monarchy, governed by the al-Sabah family.
Kuwait is believed to have been part of an early civilization in the 3rd millennium B.C. and to have traded with Mesopotamian cities. Archeological and historical traces disappeared around the first millennium B.C. At the beginning of the 18th century, the 'Anizah tribe of central Arabia founded Kuwait City, which became an autonomous sheikdom by 1756. 'Abd Rahim of the al-Sabah became the first sheik, and his descendants continue to rule Kuwait today. In the late 18th and early 19th centuries, the sheikdom belonged to the fringes of the Ottoman Empire. Kuwait obtained British protection in 1897 when the sheik feared that the Turks would expand their hold over the area. In 1961, Britain ended the protectorate, giving Kuwait independence, but agreed to give military aid on request. Iraq immediately threatened to occupy the area, and the British sent troops to defend Kuwait. Soon afterward, the Arab League sent in troops, replacing the British. Iraq's claim was dropped when the Arab League recognized Kuwait's independence on July 20, 1961. Historically, Kuwait followed a neutral and mediatory policy among Arab states.
Citizenry Benefits from Oil Wealth
Oil was discovered in Kuwait in the 1930s, and proved to have 20% of the world's known oil resources. Since 1946 it has been the world's second-largest oil exporter. The sheik, who receives half of the profits, devotes most of them to the education, welfare, and modernization of his kingdom. In 1966, Sheik Sabah designated a relative, Jaber al-Ahmad al-Sabah, as his successor. By 1968, the sheikdom had established a model welfare state, and it sought to establish dominance among the sheikdoms and emirates of the Persian Gulf.
Iraq Invades Kuwait
In July 1990, Iraqi president Saddam Hussein blamed Kuwait for falling oil prices. After a failed Arab mediation attempt to solve the dispute peacefully, Iraq invaded Kuwait on Aug. 2, 1990, set up a pro-Iraqi provisional government, and drained Kuwait of its economic resources. A coalition of Arab and Western military forces drove Iraqi troops from Kuwait in a mere four days, from Feb. 23–27, 1991, ending the Persian Gulf War. The emir returned to his country from Saudi Arabia in mid-March. Martial law, in effect since the end of the Gulf War, ended in late June. The U.S. sent 2,400 troops to the country in Aug. 1992, ostensibly as part of a training exercise, though it was widely interpreted as a show of strength to Saddam Hussein. Iraqi "training" maneuvers near the Kuwaiti border in Oct. 1994 renewed fears of aggression in the country. A Kuwaiti appeal brought the quick deployment of U.S. and British troops and equipment.

In 1999, the emir gave women the right to vote and run for parliament, but later that year Parliament defeated the ruler's decree. Kuwaiti society has grown increasingly conservative under the influence of Islamic fundamentalists. In 2003, traditionalists won a sweeping victory in parliamentary elections. The emir and crown prince (who served as prime minister) were elderly and ailing; in July 2003, the country's de facto leader, foreign minister Sheik Sabah, replaced the crown prince as prime minister.
In May 2005, Kuwait abandoned its 1999 ban on women's suffrage, and in June a woman was appointed to the cabinet. In April 2006, women voted for the first time.
In Jan. 2006, the emir, Sheik Jabir, died. His cousin, Crown Prince Sheik Saad, briefly became the nation's ruler, but he was forced to abdicate because of extreme ill health. The prime minister, Sheik Sabah, was then nominated and unanimously confirmed by Parliament as emir. Sheik Sabah named his brother, Sheik Nawaf, as crown prince, and his nephew, Sheik Nasser, as prime minister.
Prime Minister Sheik Nasser Muhammad al-Ahmad al-Sabah dissolved the opposition-led parliament in March 2008 and called for new elections. In May's parliamentary elections, radical Islamists took more than half of the body's 50 seats. No women were elected to Parliament. Prime Minister Sabah and his cabinet resigned in November in a dispute with Parliament over the visit to Kuwait by a controversial Iranian cleric. The emir reappointed Sabah in December, and he formed a new government in Jan. 2009, composed largely of previous cabinet members.
Women Continue to Make Inroads
In May 2009, three women are elected to parliament, becoming Kuwait's first female MPs. In October, court rulings further expand the rights of women, allowing them to get passports without the approval of their husbands and not requiring women MPs to wear Islamic headscarves.
In March 2011, the cabinet of Prime Minister al-Sabah resigned. Two months later, Emir Sheik Sabah approved a new government, which included six new ministers.
In June 2012, the emir accepted the resignation of the government of Prime Minister Sheik Jabir Mubarak al-Hamad al-Sabah, and on July 5, he reappointed Sheik Jabir as prime minister. Two weeks later, the cabinet was announced; the only change was Nayef al-Hajraf as finance minister.
Opposition Boycotts Parliamentary Elections
Wanting more democracy, the opposition boycotted parliamentary elections on December 1, 2012. The boycott caused voter turnout to be only 39.7 percent. The opposition wanted more democracy in the election. Two days later, Emir Sheik Sabah accepted Prime Minister al-Sabah's resignation. However, by December 5, 2012, Emir Sheik Sabah asked al-Sabah to put together a new government. A week later, al-Sabah announced a new cabinet, but the only major change was Mustafa al-Shamali as minister of finance.
After the elections on December 1, 2012, protesters gathered almost daily to voice their dissatisfaction. Emir Sheik Sabah denounced the protestors as antigovernment factions. In a speech to welcome Prime Minister al-Sabah's new cabinet, Emir Sheik Sabah said, "We will not tolerate attempts from anyone to tear apart the unity of the nation."

Productivity is a relative term in any work space, according to the Pantone Color Institute. It depends on who's working and which tasks they are performing.
Research indicates that employees bathed in soothing blue might be more relaxed and collaborative. Add some stimulating red or orange to a conference room, and meetings might move along faster. To keep staff from feeling closed in while toiling in a cramped office, cool, light tones can help make their space seem larger.
As with all interior design, context is everything. Bright, saturated colors in an advertising agency may elicit energy and creativity. But they might seem overwhelming in an oncologist's office, where muted tones can help staff – and patients – focus on their serious tasks.
Workplace color choices can have unintended consequences. Gray, tasteful and neutral may be common for cubicles, but such interiors can make women depressed. A pale green palette, chosen to be soothing and inoffensive, can become annoyingly bland, according to research by furniture manufacturer Herman Miller.
Culture also plays a role. One trucking company in Green Bay, Wis., for example, uses deep greens and golds to excite and motivate its staff. This, after all, is Packers football country.
Is there such a thing as an ideal color scheme for office environments? A national survey of 1,000 office workers found blue to be their preferred hue. One researcher concluded that the perfect palette balances relaxing blue-green with accents of motivating, soft red.
Nancy Kwallek, Ph.D., director of the interior design program at the University of Texas, tested worker productivity in three office spaces in her laboratory. She painted one bright red, another blue-green and a third white. Ninety people worked in the rooms doing various clerical tasks.
She scored the subjects as "high screeners" or "low screeners" – those who could block out their surroundings or those who had difficulty doing so. Workers who ignored their environment were more productive in rooms painted a bright color such as red, Kwallek says. Meanwhile, low screeners tended to feel overwhelmed in bright rooms and were more productive in blue-green environments, which they found relaxing.
What about the white room? In the short term, workers made more errors there, regardless of their screening ability. Over time, however, all-white environments tended not to affect work performance.
Ultimately, individual temperament rules the day, with productivity resulting from how each individual responds to his or her environment, Kwallek says. "There are great variations in sensitivity to one's surroundings."

|Annette Clark, M.D., J.D.
Following a national search, Annette Clark, M.D., J.D., has been selected as the new dean for Saint Louis University School of Law, effective July 1, 2011. Clark brings an impressive list of credentials to the position and will help guide the law school through the changing landscape of legal education.
"Professor Clark truly understands the challenges and opportunities facing law schools today and has a clear vision for how our School of Law will thrive and grow well into the future," said Saint Louis University President Lawrence Biondi, S.J. "Having taught at a Jesuit law school, she also knows the critical role our mission plays in educating our students and serving our community."
Clark will join Saint Louis University School of Law from the Seattle University School of Law, where she's served on the faculty since 1989. Clark also served as the school's interim
dean from 2009-2010, after more than 10 years as associate dean and then vice dean, overseeing the academic program, including the curriculum and centers and institutes, as well as the faculty. Clark has an M.D. with honors from the University of Washington School of Medicine and her J.D. summa cum laude from Seattle University School of Law.
"The Saint Louis University School of Law's reputation among practicing attorneys, judges and other law schools is very strong. And with a nationally ranked health law program, a new center for legal advocacy, great breadth of faculty expertise, a vibrant student body and terrific alumni support, its future is very bright," said Clark. "Serving as the law school's dean is a great honor and privilege, and I look forward to getting started and meeting all of the wonderful students and alumni I've heard so much about."
Of her many awards, Clark was named the 2008-09 James B. McGoldrick, S.J., Fellow, which is awarded to the Seattle University faculty member or administrator who best exemplifies commitment to students and to the values of a Jesuit education. She teaches, writes and consults in the areas of medical liability and bioethics and is a frequent national and local lecturer on bioethics-related topics.
Her scholarship operates at the interface of health care, law, and health policy, with a particular emphasis on end-of-life issues. She has published articles in the New York University Law Review, the Georgetown Law Journal, and the Tulane Law Review, among others.
Today's announcement represents the culmination of an intensive, nearly year-long search process led by the law school's Dean Search Committee to identify the needs of the law
school and how the experience and characteristics of prospective dean candidates could benefit the next phase of the School of Law.
After a select group of candidates were invited for on-campus interviews, the committee held small- and large-group meetings with students, faculty and staff to meet the candidates. These groups later provided feedback to the committee that was used to develop a recommendation on finalists to the University administration, which formally appoints the new dean. For more information on the committee, visit http://law.slu.edu/dean/.
"The caliber of all of the candidates with whom we met was extremely high, and it was a great honor to represent our colleagues and students during this important chapter of the school's history," said Michael Korybut, chair of the Dean Search Committee. "We believe Professor Clark will provide dedicated leadership while carving a new path for the future of legal education at Saint Louis University."
Professor Emerita Sandra H. Johnson will continue to serve as interim dean through June 30, 2011. Johnson was appointed interim dean following Dean Emeritus and Professor of Law Jeffrey E. Lewis' announcement last spring that he would return to full-time teaching at Saint Louis University School of Law after 11 years as dean.
"I would like to thank Sandy for her outstanding leadership during the past year," Biondi said. "Her willingness to serve as interim dean not only demonstrates her dedication to the law school, but also her deep commitment to our entire University community."

Need tips on hope to stir-fry without oil.
Quite simple really! I was shocked too. You pour a little water or vegetable broth in your pan and add the vegetables. Add more liquid as needed. I think you are going to be surprised how easy it is!
Susan Levin, MS, RDPCRM Director of Nutrition Education
SusanThank you - To my surprize, oil and butter are the most missed foods for me. I don't understand about fat soluable vitmains and no oil in the diet.
Do you know any kindred spirited RD's in Toronto ON Canada? Or any ideas of MD's who are on this path?
Nervous about doing this switch by myself.
Don't forget that there is plenty of fat in this diet, just low-fat, compared with the typical Western diet. Eight percent of broccoli is fat!
As for finding a health care professional in your area, I wish I had an easy resource for you. Normally I would suggest checking the American Holistic Medical Association, http://www.holisticmedicine.org/, and the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, http://www.eatright.org/programs/rdfinder/.
Both sites allow you to find someone in an area with your needs in mind. These are US-based searches, unfortunately. But perhaps there is a Canadian counterpart.

I see that others have mentioned it but I want to put in another vote for veggie broth.
I LOVE this method and it makes the most savory steam-fries you can imagine! I describe my process in depth the in the Plant-Based Blueprint, but basically I put a shallow layer in the pan, start with the onions, then add the broc or beans or caule or brussels sprouts, keep adding as it cooks down so you won't burn - you can even pop on the lid for awhile to cook, turning the heat down.

Have you been to the FOK site? Just so happens they published today a "5 Minute Fitness" article I wrote for them, I am so excited and honored to be there today!
This will take you to the article and from there you can snoop all over their very rich, informative website:
you can watch it on Netflix instant streaming, I believe. I watched a related movie called "Vegucated" this weekend (also on Netflix streaming)--three people volunteer to follow a vegan diet for six weeks. During those six weeks, they are exposed to FOK and other resources about animal rights/conglomerate farms, etc. I found it quite fascinating, and an even more basic way to introduce veganism to my family and friends. Also enough of a motivator to get me to do this again.
Lent starts Wednesday, so I'm thinking I can commit to 40 days of vegan eating. No lifelong commitments yet...let's see how this goes. Thankfully, I have the great recipes from the last time I did the kickstart.

That's a great idea, Kevin. Lent just isn't the same since I've been vegan for a few years, so no meat to give up on Fridays.
Jane, raw nuts and seeds and avocado contain more healthy nutrients than oil. If you're not convinced about low-fat, why not add a handful nuts and seeds or half an avocado to your meal instead of cooking in oil? Then you'll get lots of antioxidants and phytochemicals along with your healthy fats.

It has just been discovered that it wasn't Dotsie who was killed, but Big Daddy. Using Polyjuice Potion (copyright JKR) obtained from a wizzard, Big Daddy foolishly became Dotsie, a mistake that proved to be fatal.
Dotsie is not dead and will continue to participate. So will Del, whenever she's ready.
Big Daddy was innocent and had no role to play.

After a very very very long hiatus, I think it's time to finally come out of hiding. At least once a week, I'll be popping back up to share my favorite happy hour recipe with you.

Traveling is always a little bit stressful, but throwing an infant (and a hubby who was working a half day) into the mix makes it full on nerve wracking!

I've totally turned into one of those women who 'forget' to eat breakfast/lunch/snacks. But I legitimately do forget. And now that I'm not following my 'I'm-pregnant-so-I'll-eat-whatever-I-feel-like' diet anymore, grown up breakfast and lunch (versus peanut butter bumpers and PB&J) doesn't sound as yummy.

Being SuperMommy hasn't been quite as hard as I thought it would be. I've somehow managed to keep a (relatively) clean house, laundry has been getting done, JMB is staying clean, I've been working out a little bit, and I've still found time to put a yummy dinner on the table. Oh, and I've made it a point to shower daily.

I am officially in the home stretch, with just a few days to go until the official due date of Baby Jameson. If he's anything like his daddy, he'll be at least a few days late though! In the meantime, I've been cleaning, nesting, and organizing like a freak. Seriously, you should see our pantry. And linen closet. And regular closet. I've somehow managed to put everything in order based on color, type of clothing (work, polos, maternity, etc) and have maintained it for the last 2 months. Sure, I go in like someone with a serious case of OCD and rearrange the hubby's shirts if he puts them away. But that's normal….right?

Since my life is about to be flipped completely upside down…in a good way!…I thought it would be only fitting that the blog starts to get a little flipped around too! Sure, I'll still have recipes on here and fun glimpses into my ever-so-exciting life. But I really want to include other stuff, like how to be a super stylin' mama (or non-mama), home décor, my fabulous get-back-in-pre-baby-shape workouts and meals, and all sorts of other stuff. So, get ready for some fun!Baby Baukovic, Happy Hour, Mocktail, Not-Tail, Summer | Leave a comment
So it's been approximately 100 years since the last time I sat down and decided I should actually blog about something. In my defense, I've been extremely busy doing things like grow a baby and get ready for the baby that I'm growing. There's been so much going on between getting the nursery ready, having baby showers, and squeezing in a maternity photo shoot that I just don't have the energy (even though some days I feel like I could run a marathon). Somehow, at the end of the day, the last thing I want to do is bust out the camera and write something witty. It's been so much easier to relax on the couch and watch The Real Housewives of _______ or the Bachelorette.Dessert, Quick and Healthy, Vegetarian | Leave a comment

Scripts and codes in my posts always look sad, gray. I knew there a syntax highliter plugin for dotclear. It works very well and is relatively fast (being in php...).
This plugin uses GeSHi (Generic Syntax Highlighter), a porwerfull and easy library.
The other tools that he lists are: PeclColorer, PEAR TEXT_Highlighter, and Beautifier. Of course, there's always the PHP function highlight_string, but it's also not very full-featured. There are also plugins for other blogs as well, such as PHP Highlighter for Wordpress.

White, subacid, slight itps, slight suture bulge, green but rips, red around pit, sweet mellow taste
'China Pearl was selected at Jackson Springs, NC in 1991 by D.J. Werner and S.M. Worthington. It originated from the 1988 cross of Contender x PI 134401. Contender was released by the North Carolina Agricultural Research Service in 1987. PI 134401 is a plant introduction from China that was introduced into the United States in 1927. China Pearl was tested in trials at the Sandhills Research Station in Jackson Springs, NC.
China Pearl ripens about August 1, about a week after Biscoe. China Pearl flowers after Contender, making it one of the latest flowering commercial peach cultivars commercially available; the chilling requirement to satisfy dormancy is about 1100 hours below 4 C. Late flowering reduces the risk of freeze injury to flower buds in late winter and early spring. In addition to its late flowering, flower buds of China Pearl also possess high levels of resistance to cold temperature. Resistance to cold temperature was confirmed in Spring 1996; trees of China Pearl at 50% bloom still had live flower buds even after exposure to 6 consecutive subfreezing nights. Flower buds of all commercial check cultivars in the same test block had no live flower buds. Trees of China Pearl subsequently set a fruit crop that year. No fruit was produced on any commercial cultivar.
Fruit of China Pearl are very large, with many fruit commonly exceeding three inches in diameter when properly thinned. Because of its moderate to high flower bud number, heavy thinning is required in years of little natural fruit thinning from freeze events. Fruit are round and have shown no tendency to produce a tip over the four years of evaluation.
China Pearl is white fleshed, and is heterozygous for the honey (D) gene, which confers a reduction in fruit flesh acidity. Consequently, fruit flavor is very mild, and is often perceived as being sweeter; however, fruit sugar levels are similar to other standard commercial cultivars. The low-acid flavor is not preferred by some, but appears to be preferred by those of Asian or Hispanic descent.
Foliage of China Pearl is moderately susceptible to bacterial spot disease incited by Xanthomonas campestris pv. pruni. Fruit have shown some evidence of infection in years of heavy disease pressure. Moderate levels of infection shown by this selection suggest that pesticide application may be necessary in years of heavy disease pressure.
Trees of China Pearl show a growth rate typical of most commercial peach cultivars; however, tree growth habit is more upright than standard cultivars. Flowers are pink and showy. Pollen is abundant. Leaf glands are reniform.
In summary, China Pearl will provide growers with a consistent cropping, late-ripening, white-fleshed peach that will provide new marketing opportunities. Market targeting of Asian and Hispanic communities should be feasible with this cultivar. Its late flowering, high flower bud number, and cold hardiness exceeding that of currently grown commercial cultivars should make it an appropriate choice for growers in North Carolina. China Pearl may be particularly useful for growers in the Piedmont and Foothills of North Carolina, where peach culture is often tenuous due to the prevalence of cold injury to flower buds. China Pearl will also be valuable for commercial production in other peach growing regions of the U.S. that receive sufficiently cool winter temperatures to satisfy its high chilling requirement. Its cold hardiness will make it particularly attractive for growing regions at the northern limit of commercial production.
China Pearl is one of the few commercial cultivars of peach that was derived in part from germplasm outside of the Chinese Cling genetic base. Thus, this cultivar will serve to broaden the genetic base of commercial peach production in the U.S., and it will serve as an important source of germplasm for breeders elsewhere.
The name China Pearl is suggested for this selection because of its direct descent from a Chinese plant introduction, and its white-fleshed fruit.
A plant patent application has been filed for China Pearl. The North Carolina Agricultural Research Service is planning to negotiate a non-exclusive licensing policy for production, market development, and distribution. Nurserymen having an interest in China Pearl will be given the opportunity to be licensed by the North Carolina Agricultural Research Service for production and marketing.

Tax season can be a stressful time for most, especially those who are expecting a hefty bill from the IRS.
For some taxpayers and business owners, sorting out a payment plan with the IRS may be the best option, yet for others it may be more beneficial to pay personal or business taxes with a credit card.
There are two instances in which paying your taxes with a credit card may be well worth the 1.87 percent credit card processing fee.
1. Avoid interest from the IRS
The IRS allows taxpayers and business owners to set up payment plans with a fixed interest rate of 3 percent per year, however you may find yourself paying up to 10 percent per year once you factor in the additional fees and penalties that you're required to pay in order to set up the plan. If you're unable to settle the full amount owed to the IRS but know you can pay it off within 15 or 18 months, then you may want to consider paying the balance with a credit card that offers a zero percent introductory APR.
- Best zero percent APR card for paying business taxes: U.S. Bank Business Cash Rewards
The U.S. Bank Business Cash Rewards credit card allows you to not only get a zero percent APR for 15 months, but also earn cash back on business-related purchases, including 3 percent cash back on any cellular or gas purchases as well as 1 percent on all purchases.
- Best zero percent APR card for paying personal taxes: Citi Simplicity Card
With the Citi Simplicity Card, you get a zero percent APR for 18 months, which allows you to pay off the tax debt without paying any additional interest to the IRS. Even though the Citi Simplicity Card does not offer any rewards, it doesn't charge any late fees, penalties or annual fees.

Stela of Amenemhat
The four lines of hieroglyphic text at the top of this stela list what every Egyptian wanted in the afterlife: "thousands of portions of cattle, fowl, bread, alabaster, linen, and all kinds of green vegetables." The inscription below mentions the name of the deceased, a man called Amunemhat, and his mother, Shabut. Amunemhat's image appears just to the left of the offering table in the traditional place of honor. He was probably born in the reign of Amunemhat I and named for that king.

Barrow AFC knocked out of FA Cup
Last updated at 17:05, Saturday, 29 December 2012
FA Cup second round replay: Macclesfield 4 Barrow AFC 1
Goals: Macclesfield: John Paul Kissock (7), Chris Holroyd (16, 70), Matthew Barnes-Homer (67). Barrow: Adam Boyes (17)
BARROW AFC have been knocked out of the FA Cup following a 4-1 second replay defeat at Macclesfield Town.
Macclesfield took the lead on seven minutes when Ryan Jackson crossed for former Barrow triallist John Paul Kissock, who volleyed the ball into the roof of the net.
The Silkmen then doubled their lead on 16 minutes through Chris Holroyd, who cashed in after mistakes by Barrow defender Sean Hessey and keeper Danny Hurst.
Less than 60 seconds later Bluebirds striker Adam Boyes pulled one back when he was fed by Paul Rutherford and poked the ball into the bottom corner.
Macclesfield scored two further goals in the second half through Matthew Barnes-Homer and Holroyd on 67 and 70 minutes respectively.
The match referee has inspected the pitch three times - at 10.30am, 11.30am and 12.45pm - and said that the game will be played.
The teams drew 1-1 in the original match at Furness Building Society Stadium following two postponements.
Winners Macclesfield pocket £27,000 in prize money and the right to host Championship leaders Cardiff City in the third round.
Macclesfield (4-4-2): Lance Cronin; Ryan Jackson, Craig Braham-Barrett, Nat Brown (captain), Carl Martin; Keiran Murtagh, Sam Wedgbury, John Paul Kissock, Jack Mackreth; Matthew Barnes-Homer, Chris Holroyd.
Subs: Waide Fairhurst, Amari Morgan-Smith, Tony Diagne, Charlie Henry, Pablo Mills, Peter Winn.
Barrow (4-4-2): Danny Hurst; Matt Flynn, Gavin Skelton, Sean Hessey, Mike Pearson (captain); James Owen, Alex-Ray Harvey, Paul Rutherford, Sean McConville; Adam Boyes, Louis Almond.
Subs: Shaun Pearson, Tom Anderson, Garry Hunter, Danny Rowe, Joe Jackson.

Have your say
Yeah your right gurwin, I meant Switzerland, typo, these damn blackberry's. what tragic news from the birdbrain by saying he ain't going to respond to me again, that hurts, the anticipation of reading your replies is the only thing which keeps going me through the day! It's nice to see you say something relevant about a barrow afc thread where you state were going down, we're going to lose. I think you will also find birdbrain, you are the minority by wanting bayliss to stay. The majority of us want him out as his win ratio is a horrendous 14.67%. As for grammar and punctuation, yours is shocking, which is why I believe that you are a 12 year old who has never been through the pain of a relegation like most on here will have. It takes years or a team to recover in non league and bounce back, I we go down, we will be down for at least 5 years. Crowds drop, decent players leave (not that we have any at the moment), there's no parachute payment like premier league. The soccer is not like the raiders where the fans stay loyal, the raiders have done well to survive the atom bomb which was des, afc will feel the keen factor for years to come. Sort it out bayliss!! Cuffy
support both teams eh cuffy,remember that everyone.Lets see if his venom is as rabid against the raiders next season when they struggle like hell in that new league.

The revs from the 400ci small-block bounced off the limiter as the raucous growl from the 3.5-inch exhaust and Spintech mufflers bounced off the adjacent buildings. The Camaro's enormous rear tires broke loose, and soon thereafter a thick plume of smoke curled up from underneath the chassis.
An exhibition of speed is not something that Super Chevy magazine insists upon when we photograph a car. If the subject at hand is as gorgeous as the one you see before you, with full tubs, 20-inch rear meats, and 660 supercharged rear-wheel horses underhood just waiting to break loose, well then, we might suggest a little smoke show. But what happens after the mechanical violence takes place is beyond our control.
More on our little confrontation with the law later; for now, let's hear how this diabolical collusion of sheetmetal, tubing, gauges and a supercharger the size of a horse's head came to fruition. Jim Bassett is the proprietor of Bones Fab in Camarillo, California. Bassett or "Bones" as he is sometimes referred to, has (like many hot rodders) been around cars most of his life.
"I worked at a speed shop selling parts for 12 years and doing the occasional side job," said Bassett. "I finally had enough of my boss so I quit and opened up my own shop." This was circa 2002. Around that time Bassett, who is tall and lean in stature, wore a skeleton costume to a Halloween party. The name Bones stuck after the debut of that original costume and morphed into his company name, Bones Fab-as in fabricating.
Even before Bones Fab sprung to life, a customer of Bassett's previous place of employment had started the build of this car. While the project started about 10 years ago, Jim acquired it much more recently after the customer moved out of state.
"As with most projects like this, it went a little sideways. It went from a nitrous car to a supercharged car, to a twin-turbo set up," said Jim. "Needless to say, it never got done in any of those combos and sat for quite a while."
The customer wanted something to play with so he went out and got another running '69 Camaro that they built up for him in four months. While the customer was out ripping around in his new ride, he also ended up moving out of the state, at which point the half-finished Camaro and its adjacent pile of parts became a thorn in his side. Well, you know what they say: In Japanese, "crisis" is the same word as "opportunity" and in this case, the customer's crisis became Bassett's.
"He had to get rid of the Pro Street car so we made a deal," said Jim. "From sitting around all those years the paint had suffered some ill effects. But the pile of parts that came with it more than made up for that."
The deal sweeteners included such items as a GM Bow-Tie block with full race-prep and 4.125 bore, 65-pound fuel injectors, Coast Machine heavy duty 1350 driveshaft, Wilwood disc brakes, and a Vortech reverse rotation YS-I blower.

This recipe was selected as one of the five finalists in the 7th annual Manischewitz Cook-off (2013). It was created by Robin Saul.
Garlic/Olive Oil Cooking Spray- Manischewitz®1 medium onion diced1 ½ lbs. Mushrooms, button or Portobello Mushroom2 cups mango, diced4 Tablespoons mayonnaise2 Tablespoons balsamic vinegar4 Tablespoons brown sugar8 pieces Matzo Manischewitz®½ Cup Vegetable Broth-Manischewitz®Salt and Pepper
Stir onions into large non-stick frying pan sprayed generously with cooking spray until onions are tender but not brown.Add chopped mushrooms, salt to taste, and sauté for 5 minutes. Pour in vegetable broth and balsamic vinegar simmering uncovered until reduced and absorbed. There should be no liquid in the pan and vegetables should be soft, but not brown.While the mushrooms cook, in a small pot, combine mango and brown sugar with 2 tablespoons of water to prevent burning. Simmer for about 10 minutes until it thickens. Pulse with immersion blender leaving some small chunks but making it spreadable. Put into shallow bowl to cool.To assemble Panini:Use a jelly roll pan or a pan large enough for the whole piece of matzo to fit, and fill with 1/2 cup water. Immerse matzo sheet gently without cracking and hold down in water just until softened. Remove from water and lay on even surface such as a towel- lined counter. The matzo should feel soft, but still remain firm to handle.Spread 2 matzos sheets with a total of about 1 tablespoon mayonnaise. Over the mayonnaise, spread one side with mushroom mixture and the other with mango jam. Divide the jam and mushrooms evenly among all sandwiches, spreading ingredients across matzo sheets. Close sandwich.Give the same large fry pan a good dose of cooking spray and place sandwich on hot pan. Fry on medium heat using a flat pot cover or a smaller pan bottom to gently press down. The matzo should be a bit crispy so listen for the sizzle sounds. Raise or lower heat as needed. Spray top of sandwich with cooking spray and using a large spatula, gently flip sandwich. Press again and fry on medium high heat for just about 2 minutes. Repeat process for the each sandwich. Serve warm.
We tried Robin's mango jam as a condiment for fish. So delicious on salmon. We think it would work well as a topping on any simple poached, baked or broiled fish or even roasted chicken.
