Burgers and Beers Party
Last weekend we threw Ryan a laid back 'Burgers and Beers' party for his 30th. If I was going to get away with doing a theme for him, it had to be blokey enough. So I set up a DIY burger buffet that turned out to be a hit. Guests had a choice of traditional burger buns, ciabatta or sourdough rolls, along with Mexican beef patty's, Italian chicken patty's, and for the less adventurous: plain old beef. To customise their burgers I had a wide range of toppings and sauces to choose from. And because man does not live by burgers alone, I served up a large basket of chips purchased from the local Fish and Chips shop, as well as a couple of salads.
Beers were a given, but, to cater for the designated drivers and the underaged, we also had non-alcoholic refreshments. Don't you just love the apple slices in the water? It makes for a nice change from lemon…
To continue with the DIY theme, I set up a S'mores bar for dessert. (No guests of mine are ever going to walk away without a sugar coma – no siree bob). With four types of biscuits and chocolate flavours to choose from, there were so many possible combinations. Especially when you add the choice of peanut butter, Nutella, caramel or lemon curd! (My favourite combination: Marie biscuits, white chocolate, white marshmallow and lemon curd. I called it, ahem, *sultry voice* The Lemon Meringue). I also made sure to place a framed list of suggestions on the table in case the guests were too tipsy to figure it out on their own. Because, you know, it happens…
Making the fire pit was a lot of fun. I had my dad knock together a long, wooden box that I filled with tins of chafing fuel and river pebbles. It worked so well, looked really cool, and the fuel lasted for a couple of hours.
As sunset gave way to stars, the evening rounded off with a donut tower and late night laughter beneath strings of white fairy lights. Perfection!
A Little Cupcake Porn
Monday was Ryan's 30th birthday and, as I do every year, I whipped up a very large batch of cupcakes for him to take to work and share. 72 of them to be exact. And this isn't counting all the other times throughout the year that I ship Ryan off with a box or two. His co-workers have come to know my cupcakes so well (complete with moaning and drooling) that it has now become a part of my identity. Every time I meet one of Ryan's co-workers for the first time I'm greeted with, "Oh yeah, Cupcake Lady!"
So this week I made three of Ryan's favourite flavours – chocolate, honeycomb and cherry ripe – and decided to have some fun photographing them. Who doesn't love a little cupcake porn?
In the mood for cupcakes yet?
The Boisterous Princess
The title pretty much sums up my Alina. The boisterous princess. She loves all things girly – jewellery, shoes, tiaras and clothes – and can hold her own in a stick-sword or nerf gun fight. She loves cuddling her puppy and tackling her dad. She fits in well with the boys. She's loud and never stops talking. She loves books and music, and rearranging her room. She's not afraid to get her crazy on, or to dance with her whole heart in public. She loves to sing and demands for people to listen as she does. She assures us she will become a rock star, and her ability to belt out some serious notes leaves us no room for doubt. She's sweet and caring, wild and stubborn. Bossy, artistic, infuriating and hilarious.
Which is why I thought a photo shoot with gemstones and gumleaves would be perfect for her – a beautiful mix of opposites.
Review – Since You've Been Gone by Morgan Matson
I don't think I've ever connected with a novel on a personal level the way I have with Since You've Been Gone. It is a story that is resounding with me to the point that I'm writing this post the moment I closed the book. It has left me feeling challenged and nostalgic and inspired. It has left me wanting more out of life and yearning to be brave – even if it's in a small way. "I don't think you have to do something so big to be brave. And it's the little things that are harder anyway."
Since You've Been Gone is about a girl called Emily who's best friend mysteriously disappears from town and leaves behind nothing but an intimidating to-do list for wallflower Emily to tick off. Things like kiss a stranger, steal something, and go skinny dipping. Hoping it will somehow lead her to her best friend, Emily starts out small. But in fulfilling these tasks she finds herself interweaving with new opportunities, and making friends she wouldn't otherwise have made if she never stepped out of her comfort zone.
The reason why I connected with this book so deeply boils down to one thing. The main character is me. I am Emily.
It's like Morgan took a picture of my soul and painted its image with words. Emily's every thought, every reaction, every insecurity is a carbon copy of me. And I think it's because of this fact, and understanding her so completely, that I was brought to tears a few times. Not because it's a sad book, but because I walk in her shoes. I felt her moments as if they were mine. I know exactly what it's like to go to a party and feel like everyone is silently judging you, all while feeling like you're about to cry. I know the internal monologue that revolves in your mind, of all the things you should be saying out loud, but then nothing finds its way out. I know what it's like to be so afraid of leaving your comfort zone that it ends up making someone else angry, because "what's the big deal?"
As Emily starts crossing off the 'easy' things on her list, I see myself in that too. The older I get I find that I push myself more to step out from behind that wall. But because I'm still in the 'easy things' stage, reading about Emily taking on the bigger, scarier tasks gave me a huge rush. I felt her freedom in letting go. I felt her release and I was strangely energised because of it. I want to experience that for myself and Emily has inspired me to do it.
One of my favourite moments in the book is when Emily goes home dressed in Frank's clothes, after a night of dancing and skinny dipping:
"I killed the engine and caught my reflection in the rearview mirror. My hair was in tangles, and the wedding makeup I'd worn was half washed off, half smeared under my eyes. But my cheeks were flushed and even though I looked like a mess, I looked happy. I looked like someone who'd had a night, and had a story to tell about it. Which was, I realized as I collected my dress and heels in my arms and made my way, yawning, to the front door in the cool early light, exactly what had happened."
As I read that I smiled with her. I felt the smudged mascara on my own face, the weariness and contentment in my body and the early morning air on my skin. I lived that moment with her.
As I like to do with all books I read, I chose my favourite swoon-worthy scene: "Indoor camping," Frank repeated. He gave me a look. "Someone once told me that in a well-ordered universe it's the only way to camp." You will need to read the book to understand this… But trust me. *Swoon*
The friendship between Emily and Frank was refreshingly realistic. The growing of their attraction toward each other was so slow and subtle, so lifelike that it took me back to my teen years, to the boys who were my 'Frank'. It couldn't have been more beautifully done. And of course I will forever be impressed by Morgan's ability to gift us with a completely real personality in Emily.
After reading this book I find myself with a final thought: In a well-ordered universe I'd have my own to-do list to be challenged with – minus the skinny dipping, of course.

Puppy Love – My Two Girls
It has been way too long since I last used my camera instead of whipping out my iPhone. Looking at these photos I don't know why I ever stopped. I guess I should blame it on convenience, which is a poor, poor excuse. Especially for someone who's always loved photography.
Since deciding to give my website a revamp – which should be happening soon – I've been snapping my own pictures to use for the site, rather than buying stock images. Suddenly it's rekindled my love of photography and I find myself leaving the camera around the house, readily available for moments like these.
I caught my two girls having a cuddle out in the grass like they do every day. (These two are best friends and it's so adorable). But this time I decided to go all paparazzi in between mashing potatoes and flipping meatballs in the frying pan. I'm so glad I did, even though I only managed to snap a few before Willa came running to lick my camera lens. (The puppy, not the girl – and yes, this needs clarification).
Doing so has reminded me how important these moments are, to remembering and treasuring them. And there's no better way than in a beautiful photo.
Updating Your Bedding
It was high time I had a change of bedding. Not just because ours had passed it's Visual Use By Date (ick!), but because a change in decor leaves me feeling all warm and fuzzy inside. What's that old saying? – A change is as good as a holiday. Well, I never get to go on holidays, so change I must! I didn't have the money to splurge on some top quality bedding like I usually do, so for the sake of my sanity I decided to settle for a trip to IKEA just to freshen up my room. The splurging can wait!
The "Before"
If you follow me on Pinterest you would have seen from my many pins that I'm absolutely in love with dark blue lately. I'm talking deep, dark, all-enveloping blue. Something about it reminds me of winter (my favourite season) and curling up with a book and a blanket. So it made sense that the dark blue bedding called to me like a beacon across the great expanse that is IKEA. I all but ran to them with my arms wide open. (Though I may or may not have done this before) *Shifty eyes*
Lucky for me, my mum was in need of some new bedding too. Because of this I was able to con her into purchasing a set of my choosing just so we could swap a couple of the pillow cases. I am not a fan of a matching set. I'd much rather put together a few different pieces that complement each other – and this is my rule in all things 'decor'. So here is how my bed came together:
I love the look of wrinkled bedding. I think it makes it look cosy and 'lived in', don't you?
As you can see, I kept my black european pillows and grey cushion from the 'before' photo. I added my new doona cover and plaid pillow cases (thank you, mum), and finished it off with a smaller, brown cushion I pilfered from my daughter's room, and the throw blanket I took from our living room. One thing I love about decorating your home is moving pieces from one room to another to get a new look, without having to cough up some dough!
Just for fun, here are some pics of my daughter's bed. (I'm so jealous of all that girliness! )
If you're in need of an update, here are my tips for a bed makeover:
Mix it up! – Don't just throw on a matching set and walk away. Use different patterns, shades or colours on your pillow cases to your doona/duvet cover. To save money, work with what you've got. Keep the scatter cushions that went with your last set and work with it. Purchase a new cover that complements them. Or if you want to buy some new cushions or throws, move the old into the living room and give your couch or armchair a spruce too. Re-use!!
Use different textures – Add some knitted european pillows alongside some earthy cotton. Or to glam it up, some glitzy sequinned cushions on some otherwise simple bedding. Don't be confined by the "matchy-matchy" mentality so many people have.
Throw blankets are a must – Give your room that extra level of comfort and homeyness. Literally toss them or drape them on the bed for a relaxed appearance, or fold it neatly to lay across the width of your bed for a tailored look. Placing it at the end of your bed will give the illusion that your bed is longer, bigger.
Use my rule for pillow placement – For a king sized bed: Place three european pillows side by side. Set four standard pillows in front of them and finish it off with three to four decorative cushions. For a queen sized bed: Layer two european pillows with two to four standard ones in front, and complete the look with two or three cushions.
Make your bed everyday – Your room will instantly look so much cleaner and tidier for it. And besides, you'll have a gorgeous new bed to show off, even if it's only to yourself!

Hosting Christmas
Anyone who knows me, knows I love hosting a party. I love entertaining as much as I love my child. It's basically my M.O. Even when there is no party to be had I will plan one for the fun of it, or offer to help with someone else's. (Because I am that weird party-lady who will even take over your party planning if you so much as give her an inch). Put that together with Christmas, my favourite time of the year, and you'll find an exploding, gushing, so-excited-I-can't-sleep Mel on your hands. This should give you an indication of how I reacted when I was asked to host Christmas last year.
Right away I knew it wouldn't be just another 'Christmas' for me. No simple family gathering with paper plates and a plastic table"cloth". Those words don't exist in my vocabulary.
Christmas Day belongs to the husband's family. (Mine celebrates on Christmas Eve as the Finns do – a story for another time). Usually we would swing by the hosting house, have lunch, open some presents and then be gone after a few hours. With the planning in my hands I decided to mix it up with a big family dinner.
The day began with family trickling in all morning as I pottered in the kitchen and served up an antipasto lunch. We had a spread of cheeses, quince, grissini and other fancy-shmancy crackers that I never normally buy. Dukkah and fresh bread was a hit, not to mention my paste/dip concoction of blitzed fetta and semi-dried tomato – so good! So good, in fact, that in the past my brother-in-law has taken to sandwiching the stuff between slices of bread. These were all balanced nicely with olives, stuffed bell peppers and meats, and a range of fruit and nuts. With a big meal ahead of us, grazing was the smartest idea. And of course I had to have a giant bowl of assorted chocolates for everyone to pilfer throughout the day.
My daughter's skills, with gingerbread as her medium, were also on display!
When it came to the beverages I had set up my drink dispensers on a large, wooden crate and filled them with options of water, apple & guava juice and a fizzy, peach iced tea – the orange slices, raspberries and mint I added made it all look so pretty and summery!
For the dinner I really wanted us all to sit together. Most Christmas's we end up plonking ourselves wherever we can find a seat or we spread out in the backyard. So, in order to make a table large enough to fit 20 people I added two trestles to my dining table. The size of it, however, meant I would have a hard time finding tablecloths to fit not only the length, but the width of my very wide dining table. To remedy this I bought two lengths of some deep blue fabric to run down it, overlapping in the middle. After adding some runners I already had, I adorned the the table with gold and glittery ornaments, bulbed votives, and I borrowed my mum's gold-lined plates. I finished off the look with windings of some creeping potato vine.
For dinner everyone pitched in by bringing in sides, salads, and a delicious chunk of ham. I even had turkey roasting away in the oven, along with a traditional Finnish dish called Peruna Laatikko – a kind of baked mash potato. With everything under control in the kitchen it allowed the family to relax, and boy did they! I had people lounging and napping on the sofas, lending a peaceful, homey mood to the day! At dinner the meats stayed hot in a chafing dish – greatest investment ever – and everyone filled themselves with what had to be the tastiest Christmas dinner. The real cherry on top for me was seeing how happy everyone was to be seated at the same table. Mission accomplished!
The night rounded off with a giant pavlova, Christmas pudding and more than a few tipsy guests lingering till 11pm. With many compliments such as, "This was the best Christmas ever", they all culminated to one last comment, "So…next year?" I was left feeling pretty chuffed, and it's safe to say I tucked myself into bed that night with a smile on my face.

Fin-Nor Lethal Fishing Reel - Lethal 80 Lethal by name, Lethal by nature. The 80 size is big and tough. With an emphasis on robust, the Fin-Nor Lethal 80 is built for hunting. Tackle busting mega fish that never fail to argue with pure desperation to the very end. With big strong parts and generous line capacities the Lethal is purpose built for fish that are not particularly willing to turn around despite the pressure you apply.
The 80 is the second to largest of the series and presents a perfect reel for all surf anglers and rock hoppers. Boat anglers will also love the flexibility of playing the surface or bouncing the reefs. A rubber braid ring is fitted to the spool of the fishing reel making it ideal for braid. The Lethal spool is also great for mono. Its generous size ensures the mono traditionalist can be confident that enough line will be available for the long runners.
The size of the 80 allows you to target big species knowing you have the fire power to turn the heads of monsters, halting their first dash for life. The strength and robust build make it an essential for the rock hopper, where the elements attack your equipment with relentless fury. The tough build gives you confidence as you clamber over unforgiving rocks, endure the spray of a heavy, salty swell and assist in the battle invasive sand. You'll have the choice of setting a live or dead bait or casting big poppers. For you, this particular spinning reel from Fin-Nor will be a complete joy to handle. For the fish you target, it will be nothing short of lethal.
♦ Model: Lethal SP 80 Fishing Reel
♦ Type: Spinning Bearings: 6 + 1
♦ Gear Ratio: 4.9:1
♦ Line capacity (approx mono line): 20lb/330yd
♦ Line capacity (approx braid line): 275 yards / 65lb
♦ Polymer Rotor
♦ Front Drag
♦ Double shielded stainless bearings
♦ Sealed, Multi-stack mega-drag
♦ Slimline aluminium body and side plate
♦ Braid ready spool (line not included)
♦ Max Drag: 40lb
Note: Images for illustration purpose only as slight differences may occur.
The 80 or 8000 size reel sits at the large size range. With a spinning reel of this size you will likely be prowling the ocean rocks, beaches or blue water from your boat. You will be hunting big, hard fighting fish like Yellowtail King Fish, big Mackerel and Mulloway. It is ideally suited to a fishing rod with lengths from 12ft if you're hitting the beach and rocks.
In the boat, a rod rated to 10-24kg will see you with a balanced rig. Drop that to a max of 10-15kg for the rocks and beach.
♦ The mega lock instant anti reverse means strikes become hook ups. Robust components protect against the carnage created by large, hard fighting fish.
♦ The sealed, multi stack mega drag gives you the control in a fight and the confidence that your purchase will last and perform as if straight out of the box for years to come.
♦ The 6 bearings and the brass pinion gear provide the angler with seamless and effortless operation cast after cast, fish after fish.
♦ This is a big reel purpose built for tackling big fish.
It's lethal for a reason. Robust strength and line capacity alone give you so much more than simply a fighting chance. A big reel like the Fin Nor lethal 80 reel opens the door to hard fighting King Fish and other lighting fast pelagic heavy weights. You will bounce the bottom for big Mulloway and Snapper. You will also be well prepared for the powerful GT that often makes a liar of any large spool. For big, hard fighting species there is often no substitute for size. You need the line capacity and you need the strength. The Fin-Nor Lethal SP 80 has this in droves. You will find it perfect for big fish. The big fish will find it lethal. Priced to sell, add an 80 sized fin-nor lethal to your basket.

Fist Of God Paperback
by Frederick Forsyth
During those fateful weeks before Saddam Hussein's invasion of Kuwait, a fragment of radio intercept had referred to Qubth-ut-Allah, a devastating secret weapon that could rain death and destruction on the Allied forces.
Despite Allied scepticism, Major Mike Martin, an SAS man who can pass as an Arab, is sent into Kuwait to assess Iraqi strength and help the resistance.
What he discovers there takes him into the heart of Baghdad, where he is to 'run' the Iraqi spy known as Jericho, the sleeper who might be prepared to provide vital information for money.
It is a highly dangerous operation, the results of which cause the Allies to delay their ground assault for four days - while Martin parachutes into the Iraqi mountains on the most hazardous mission of his life: to find and destory Qubth-ut-Allah - the Fist of God.

Review by parthbakshi
The best book i feel ever written on action behind enemy lines during the gulf war ,Though it is kind of pseudo fiction ,one gets a true account of what went on during the gulf war.Once you begin reading it ,You cant keep it down.
Review by abbottthomas
This is an agreeable bit of fairly ancient 'history'. As usual with Forsyth there is a good mixture of fact, reasonable speculation and plausible fiction. The book is set in the time of the invasion of Kuwait by Saddam Hussein. It begins with the story of Gerald Bull, a brilliant ballistics engineer, who believed that large-bore guns - 'superguns' - could be used to send payloads into earth orbit. After working for the Canadian government and the US Army for some years his ideas fell out of favour and funding was withdrawn. Bull continued his work with funding from several interested governments including South Africa, China and Yugoslavia and finally Iraq. The story of the so-called Babylon Gun is well-known: Bull arranged for different parts of the gun to be constructed in various countries in an attempt to conceal their true purpose. Many of these were intercepted by the authorities as they were in transit to Iraq. The size of the barrel was such that the gun could not have been fired unless it was fixed on a solid surface thus making varying the aim of the gun impossible. Western experts consequently discounted the Babylon Gun as an effective weapon, nonetheless confiscating the parts that came to light. A few months before Saddam's army moved into Kuwait, Bull was assassinated in Brussels, with Mossad operatives favourites as perpetrators. That much is factual, although Forsyth lays the blame for the murder elsewhere.With the invasion of Kuwait accomplished, the diplomatic negotiations begin, as does the preparation of Desert Shield, the build up of Coalition forces to protect the Saudi/Kuwait border. Forsyth gives us a lot of detail on this, looking at the actions of many real people and real organisations. He is good at sounding convincing: the reader believes that the auxiliary tanks of the USAF F-15E Eagle fighter hold 4,000 pounds of fuel or that the Saudi Defence Ministry in Riyadh is 400 metres long and 100 feet high and so finds it easy to accept that Benyamin Netanyahu is pushed into disclosing Mossad's asset in Baghdad by a very rich Jewish-American banker or that Mikhail Gorbachov provided cover for a British agent at the behest of two Western spooks. His speculations and fiction start here with the US/UK need to have on-the-ground intelligence, first from Kuwait and later from Baghdad. We get to know a typical Forsyth hero, Mike Martin, a SAS major with perfect Arabic and an uncanny ability to melt into the background. We are treated to exciting times on the streets of Kuwait City and Baghdad, a lot of black-ops and flying detail and a neat Mossad sting operation in Vienna. It's not a spoiler to confirm that the book conforms to history and Desert Storm rolls on to a sort of victory.Forsyth clearly has no problem including his personal feelings in the book, from half a page describing a rugby match between Haileybury and Tonbridge (his old school) to a clear judgement of Margaret Thatcher's political demise at the hands of colleagues of "ineffable incompetence". He closes the book with a postscript decrying the madness of advanced industrial nations selling sophisticated weaponry to "the crazed, the aggressive and the dangerous" and opining that, despite all the high-tech electronic information gathering, there is still a need for the human spy. He writes of the range of 'Weapons of Mass Destruction' (WMD) possessed by Saddam and the Iraqi's skill in concealing them. I guess he would have preferred Saddam to have been ousted by Desert Storm but he left a book which might have been a manual for George Dubbuyah and Blair in their attempts to justify the Second Gulf War 13 years later.

The MT-1000 is a microscope translator, fixed-stage and manipulator platform for moving optical pathway electrophysiology. The modular design of the MT-1000 features freestanding columns that provide rock solid mounting for the tissue recording chamber and multiple micromanipulators, such as the MP-285 or MP-225. The columns are positioned around a movable table that provides X-Y translation of the optical pathway in order to view multiple locations within the chamber at high resolution.The column-mounted recording chamber is relatively compact and serves as an alternative to bulky stages. The modular columns allow easy access to the microscope and provide a very flexible design platform for customizing your rig.At the core of the system is the X-Y translation table. It is designed to allow movement of a microscope's optics with respect to the fixed stage. Such an arrangement is currently in use by electrophysiologists recording from tissue slice preparations. The translator allows visualization and/or imaging of multiple tissue locations while maintaining multiple stable recordings from the preparation. Such a system is also useful for experiments on cells in culture where one wishes to monitor several cells not in the same field of view, e.g., recording from pre and post synaptic neurons in culture and/or imaging one cell while recording from or stimulating another.Translators are also available for the Olympus BX-50WI, Nikon E600FN, and the Leica DMLFS as well as older fixed stage models. A generic rectangular table (295mm x 340mm) which can accommodate most standard, upright microscopes as well as a number of inverted microscopes is also available. The recording chamber and micromanipulators are mounted on independent columns firmly affixed to the user's vibration isolation table. The manipulator columns are identical to the popular MT-75 gantry style stands. The recording chamber fits into a dovetail slide on a similar column.

Randy Orton vs. Brock Lesnar match was advertised as 15 years in the making. It was the main event for this year's WWE Summerslam PPV.
Since that match came out as a no contest, we were bound to get a rematch. So as expected, WWE Raw came up with a house show at the All State arena in Chicago, Illinois, last night.
Prior to the match, Brock Lesnar along with Paul Heyman cut a promo. Heyman suggested that a normal match against the beast was not good enough, so the match was arranged as a "Suplex City Death Match", with no disqualifications or count-outs or any stopping under any condition.
Randy Orton appeared to deliver a sneak attack to the beast with a steel chair in his hands. At one point, it looked that Orton would get an upper hand when he countered an F-5 to an RKO.
However, in the end, the beast prevailed, as always. He ended the match with his pendant F-5. This match too was covered with blood at the end.
Here are the complete results of the live event from Chicago.
(1) Sasha Banks, Bayley, and Alicia Fox defeated Nia Jax, Dana Brooke & Charlotte. Emma appeared as the special guest referee for the match.
(2) Braun Strowman defeated Sin Cara.
(3) Golden Truth & Darren Young defeated the team of Bo Dallas, Curtis Axel & Titus O'Neil. Truth got the pin over Dallas.
(4) Cesaro defeated Sheamus with the Sharpshooter.
(5) Chris Jericho defeated Neville with a Codebreaker as Neville was going for a springboard.
(6) Brock Lesnar defeated Randy Orton, in a clean pin.
(7) Mark Henry defeated one of the Shining Star members.
(8) New Day (Woods & Kingston) defeated The Club and Enzo-Cass in a triple threat tag team match.
(9) Roman Reigns defeated Rusev via disqualification. Roman speared Rusev to end the show.
(10) Kevin Owens pinned Sami Zayn and Seth Rollins in a triple threat match with a pop-up powerbomb.

Dr. A Go-Go
Generations Hall
January 30, 2004
Thirty minutes was the perfect amount of taste time to see if Dr. A Go-Go was worthy to be a meal. I heard just enough of them on Friday night at Offbeats Best of the Beat Awards to realize that I would like to see them again.
Dr. A Go-Go, the nights Best Emerging Rock Band, passed around red cross necklaces before they went onstage. With their two synchronized go-go dancers and red and white flamboyant costumes, high energy filled the room. Dont forget pianist Jay Thomas tilting synthesizer and that they just plain rocked. Guitarist Ron Hotstream, bassist D.C. Harbold, drummer Joey Torres, and dancers Stephanie and Sarah rounded out the lineup. The dancers did 1960s dance moves such as the Fruge, the Pony, and the Monkey.
The four-piece band was very into the music, and I cant imagine surviving an hour and a half set without having to change a sweaty shirt. Their poppin beats and straightforward attack drew much applause after each song. The most important aspect of the band was Thomas, whose organ-like meanderings added the boost that made me start pogoing.
It was a fun night, and any night that celebrates local music is a good night.

You wouldn't be able to blame University of Florida president Bernie Machen for chuckling when Georgia president Michael Adams came out with his proposal for an eight-team college football playoff the day after the season ended.
Machen made a proposal in Destin last June to the SEC presidents to consider moving forward with a playoff idea. One of the presidents who blew off the idea?
Michael Adams. "Michael and (former Vanderbilt chancellor) Gordon Gee really were the ones who got on me," Machen said Thursday. "Maybe he got religion."
Adams made his proposal in a story that ran in the Atlanta-Journal Constitution on Tuesday. He called for an eight-team playoff incorporating the bowls in conjunction with the NCAA.
The impetus for Adams was the feeling that Georgia was slighted in the bowl selection process, playing in the Sugar Bowl instead of the BCS National Championship Game or the Rose Bowl.
"He's deadly serious," Machen said. "He called me after the bowl selections. He wanted to do it then. I told him it would be best to wait awhile. He didn't wait long enough. To come out with that on a day that belonged to LSU was unfortunate."
SEC commissioner Mike Slive was also critical of Adams' timing. It was Slive who emerged from the meetings in Destin and declared Machen's proposal defeated and the idea of a playoff dead.
Machen said there was never a vote on his proposal to explore a playoff concept, but that he believed he "probably could have gotten four votes" in favor of the idea.
But he doesn't believe college football is any closer to a true playoff than it was last summer despite Adams' claim that about half of the presidents would be in favor of it.
"I think Michael is misreading the landscape," Machen said, "to say there is more support than there was a year ago. I don't think he's going to get any traction. I warned him about getting the NCAA involved. I've been told to keep it out of their hands. And I warned him about being too specific. If you come out with an eight-team scenario, the guy who wants a four-team and the guy who wants a 16-team aren't going to support it.
"I've talked to people all over the country and when the TV revenues come in they are going to be very high. I think the only way this could happen is if they went the other way."
Machen does believe that there is momentum for the Plus-One game that Slive and new BCS coordinator John Swofford of the ACC are exploring. A Plus-One game would add a championship game to the end of the bowl season with the top two teams after the bowls playing for the championship.
"I think what Mike is talking about has a chance," Machen said. "I think if we're careful, we can pull a Plus-One out."
Machen has strong sense of deja vu

|Last chapter
|Next chapter
"The Oracle of Laogai" is the eighth chapter of Book One: Start (開始) of Avatar: The Legend of Miranda.
The Oracle of Laogai
Team Avatar was walking with Nora on the streets of the Laogai Village, talking about how they could possibly save Zing Dang from Lady Li-Hua and Pei Qi.
"There's a great oracle somewhere; Laogai itself. The legend tells us that it was the oracle who used its powers to build Ba Sing Se for a long time ago. The oracle knows everything, so I'm sure it can tell us where Zing Dang is," Nora explained, accompanied by one of those little girls from the village who had completely fallen in love with Ming and was following the group just because she wanted to see the bird. "The problem is, only these girls know where to find the oracle," Nora continued.
"What? How can three little girls possibly be the only persons who know about a great ancient oracle?" Myrdin asked.
"Let me guess, the spirits gave them the knowledge?" Willy said.
"That's correct," Nora said.
"How did you know?" Myrdin asked.
"Don't you know your brother? He's a smart guy!" Dandelion said.
"Anyways, if these girls know where to find the oracle, we can ask them," Miranda said.
"I've been trying. But the thing with these girls is that they hate to be serious. You can only have a real conversation with them if they invite you in for tea. If you sit in their home, they will answer one question," Nora explained.
"Great, so we'll get invited inside. Where do they live?" Miranda asked.
"Right here," Nora said and pointed at the house right in front of them.
"Great, we're here already! Okay, considering these girls are so unserious, maybe the easiest way to get our answer is if only one of us goes. I can do it," Miranda said.
"But, Miranda. It's not that easy. You see, these girls almost never invite people in; they'll rather stay outside in the village and play," Nora explained.
However, she became interrupted by the girl who liked Ming.
"Excuse me, Avatar Miranda! Can I bring Ming inside my house and give her a cup of tea?" she asked.
Miranda grabbed the chance.
"Of course. On one condition; let me come too," Miranda said.
"Hmmm. Normally, that would not be done, but since Ming is the cutest creature I've ever seen, I'll let you come too," the girl said.
While Willy, Myrdin, Dandelion, and Nora waited outside, Miranda and Ming followed the girl inside the house.
They sat around a table, where the girl served them tea.
"Delicious," Miranda said.
"I'm glad you like it," the girl said.
"You know, I have to ask you of something. I'm looking for the oracle of Laogai, but I don't know where to find it. Can you tell me?" Miranda asked.
"I do," the girl said and coughed.
"Where?" Miranda asked curious.
"She's under Lake Laogai," the girl finally revealed.
The group then headed directly to Lake Laogai.
They walked through the dark, wet, underground tunnels, which were surprising long. Finally, they could see something glowing in a room.
It was beautiful. The oracle proved to be a statue that could talk.
"There it is! We found the oracle of Laogai!" Nora was impressed. Maybe she'd finally learn that you don't need to do everything on your own; some help from others is just good.
"Great Oracle of Laogai, can you help us find our lost friend Zing Dang?" Miranda asked.
"No," the oracle answered.
"What? But?" Myrdin was complaining, followed by some yell from Willy and Dandelion.
"Quiet, Myridn!"
"Do you have any advice for us, great Oracle?" Miranda asked.
"You need to go to the Misty Palms Oasis. There, you will find someone who can guide you further in your journey," the Oracle declared.

Interwoven Traditions: The Spiritual Journey from African to African-American and The Road to the Promised Land: Martin Luther King Jr. & the Civil Rights Movement
Two new exhibits at The Heritage Society examine the African-American experience. The first is Interwoven Traditions: The Spiritual Journey from African to African-American, based on the archeological work of two University of Houston professors, Kenneth L. Brown and Carol McDavid. It examines how Africans incorporated the spiritual beliefs from their homeland into their life in the United States. Unable to openly practice their religions, the Africans found ingenious ways of keeping their traditions alive such as hiding African symbols on bricks they made, then building with the symbol side in so that it was unseen. They also made Catholic medallions, but instead of the usual Virgin Mary, these had pronounced African features.
The second exhibit is The Road to the Promised Land: Martin Luther King Jr. and the Civil Rights Movement, which includes photographs of historic sites such as the Lorraine Motel, where King was assassinated 40 years ago, and of trailblazers like Rosa Parks and our very own Barbara Jordan. 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays, 1 to 4 p.m. Sundays. 1100 Bagby. For information, call 713-655-1912 or visit www.heritage-society.org. Free.
Tuesdays-Sundays. Starts: June 10. Continues through Sept. 28, 2008

Dating liberal men vs conservative men?
Posted in the African-American Forum

#1 Apr 4, 2013
I think liberal men are whiney,feminine acting,annoying and they seem weak.I think if you want a real man you should date conservative men.
I agree with this link but I know not all liberal men are like this but many are.

Nearly all racists identify themselves as conservatives. They want to "conserve" their race, culture, tradition etc. most importantly in this case, their race, which can't be conserved by bedding black women. Stupid thread.
#4 Apr 4, 2013
Having dating both back home, I'd prefer a conservative man or even a moderate. Liberal men, like the OP stated, are too feminine to me for the most part. Also a conservative man at least for me is more grounded. Of course not all liberal men are like what you described.
Since: Jan 08
#5 Apr 4, 2013
I wouldn't mind moderate either probably better.But when it comes to liberal men they are just too weak and pathetic to me.They are so emotional and easily breakable.

I know.One of the longest relationships I've had was with a man who was about in the middle.
#7 Apr 4, 2013
Not all of them are like that of course, but I know exactly what you mean. I'm a conservative myself, but not one of those typical southern conservatives so a moderate would be perfect for me. My fiance is actually a moderate we keep each other well grounded and our conversations on politics can get quite interesting. We respect each other's views though. And he isn't a punk bytch that's for sure. I'm surrounded by liberal men up here in CO though and so feminine to me.

How do you know they're feminine?
#9 Apr 4, 2013
Because I've met some of them as I like to meet new people anywhere I go. I was also with this site call Meetup where people with like interests and minds including political affiliations would meet up somewhere to discuss issues. Through that, and elsewhere, many were liberals, some of us like myself conservatives and some of their home issues how they describe their relationships and who did what in the relationships (roles)...yeah, pretty dorn feminine to me. To each their own of course, but I was taught man work and provide for the family not be a stay-at-home male "mom". Some didn't find anything wrong with their women running their entire households. It was insane. Living anywhere else other than the south for me is and was a major culture shock. I don't date many American men period because American men for the most part when compared to men abroad are so feminine.

Whether someone is a good husband,mate,father has nothing to do with him being a liberal or conservative it has to do with his values and how he views women and commitments.Some conservative men don't respect the women in their lives as well as some liberal
men don't.

Well, so-called "liberals" have a strong brainwashing of FEMINISM going through their culture, so they're all for letting a woman become more masculine, thus if they don't mind a masculine woman, then they don't mind being a more feminine male.
So-called "conservatives" learn more toward traditional values of a man being the masculine and the woman being the feminine.
Exceptions on both sides can obviously be seen or found, of course, but this is just the general rule, it seems.
I'm in agreement with values from both sides, it seems. I'm more of a Libertarian type of person.
Of course, I'm not "holy and perfect" but I still do hold to believing it best to be as moral as I can be, it being a struggle every day to be better than I was yesterday. My 'angry side' comes out most on these forums, so I try to limit my time here, as I don't think it's best to be constantly angry. I regret later when I look back on older posts, calling other people names, even if it fit them at the time in my mind, I still think it was wrong. So I'm disciplining myself and trying not to call others a spade... even if they're a spade.:-P
I have to remind myself that 'all have fallen short' so I'm no better than anyone else, when all is said and done.
Anyway, I don't morally think prostitution is good, nor doing 'drugs', nor homosexuality, nor gambling, nor anything like this... however, I've learned as I grew up that, if we're to respect liberty in order to protect against an ever-growing fascism, then we've got to legalize things we might not morally agree with, so long as it's not harming any other individual in the process.
This is why I don't think "abortion" should be legal. I view the baby forming in the womb as an individual human being who should be protected from being murdered.
So, I am more of an independent type of person, one who is not on one major side of the aisle. I've views which both sides would agree and disagree with me on. I don't care though, even if I were the only person in the country to think like this, I'd still hold firm to it.
I believe women have the right to do whatever they want, even feminists... though I do not think feminism is healthy or society, seeing as how it creates women with big heads, neglecting their children in the process of their wanting a career, or acting masculine, when a real man wants a feminine woman, just like I'd picture a real woman wanting a masculine man, not a pushover.
So, I believe in the freedom to be a feminist all you want, so long as you don't hurt anyone else in the process. However, again, I don't think it's 'healthy' for society... just like I don't think smoking drugs is healthy for the body, but I still hold firm in letting individuals have that right to do it to themselves (only), unless it's harming children (or anyone), then that's the exception.
So this is a balance between personal morality and what should remain legal in order to prevent the tyrannical government from overstepping its boundaries, which will (and has) snowball downhill and rightful [logical] liberty will be a thing of the past.

What you have to remember is...not all liberal men are feminine, and in general are usually for progress and overall more open-minded. Liberalism is a much better ideology, politically speaking...

"Liberal" people tend to be more educated and more intelligent than "conservative" people. Fact!
#23 May 3, 2013
Women are strange.
They'll come whining about a liberal man being too feminine, but complain if he doesn't talk about his feelings. They'll want a man to do manly things, but if they see him skinning the deer he just shot in the garage they'll call him cruel. Years ago I met a woman who spoke endlessly about how she had a preference for men in uniform. Well I showed for our date in my uniform ---- from Burger King and all she did was complain.
Then I gave her that Whopper.

INTRODUCTION: Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) in pregnancy carries high maternal mortality. In non-pregnant patients with PAH, inhaled treprostinil has been demonstrated to sustained effect on pulmonary vascular resistance with a longer duration of action. We report a successful maternal-fetal outcome in a pregnant woman with PAH treated with inhaled treprostinil.
CASE PRESENTATION: A 17 year-old female with Mixed Connective Tissue Disease presented to the emergency department with dyspnea at 33 weeks gestation. Medications included plaquenil, prednisone, and albuterol. Physical exam revealed a respiratory rate of 22 and an oxygen saturation of 91%. She had mild bibasilar crackles, regular heart tones, no peripheral edema, and a gravid uterus. Chest x-ray showed bilateral hilar prominence. Computed tomography of the chest showed enlargement of the pulmonary arteries. Transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) showed normal left ventricular (LV) function, with mildly dilated right atrium (RA) and right ventricle (RV). Estimated systolic pulmonary artery (PA) pressure was 60 mmHg. She was admitted to the hospital, and a right heart catheterization with vasoreactivity was performed, revealing moderate fixed pulmonary hypertension, along with Class III symptoms. Treatment was initiated with diuretics and inhaled treprostinil. Her symptoms improved, and she was discharged home. She was re-admitted 12 days later in active labor at 36 weeks gestation. Inhaled nitric oxide and supplemental oxygen were initiated for desaturations during early labor. Inhaled treprostinil and furosemide were continued. TTE showed normal LV and RV function. Labor and delivery was uneventful, with birth of a healthy baby girl via vaginal forceps-assisted delivery. Postpartum, the inhaled nitric oxide and oxygen were quickly discontinued. She remained on furosemide and inhaled treprostinil, and was discharged on Postpartum Day 4. TTE at 3 months showed improved RA and RV size, normal RV systolic function, and an improved systolic PA pressure. At 6-month follow-up she had Class I symptoms, and six-minute walk distance (6MWD) had improved from 351 to 410 meters.
DISCUSSION: PAH is a devastating complication of Mixed Connective Tissue Disease. Normal pregnancy causes a wide range of physiologic and hemodynamic changes including volume overload. Patients with PAH have a limited ability to compensate for these changes. Maternal mortality in pregnant patients with severe PH has been reported as high as 56%. Management of PAH during pregnancy must evaluate possible toxic effects of medications on the mother and fetus. Aggressive diuresis is key to maintaining appropriate RV volume postpartum. There is a paucity of data regarding management of this patient population, and no reported cases using inhaled treprostinil, which was chosen for our patient due to its longer duration of action, and safer pregnancy category. Management of our patient was successful as evidenced by peripartum adherence to therapy, successful maternal-fetal outcome, improved RA and RV size, improved PA pressure, and improvement in 6MWD.
CONCLUSIONS: PAH in pregnancy carries high mortality, and there is limited data regarding management of this patient population. Our patient was successfully managed using inhaled treprostinil.

Every now and then, usually on the weekends, I like to wake up in the morning and make myself and omelet. I mean what's better than having two warm eggs with melted cheese oozing out of it, right? Anyways, the recipe I use isn't necessarily the healthiest one out there, and I was just wondering if you guys could help me create a "leaner" version. Many thanks.
My Recipe:
- 1 tablespoon of salted butter (102 kcal)
- 2 eggs (yolks and egg whites) (140 kcal)
- ¼ cup of shredded cheddar cheese (110 kcal)
- Dash of salt
- Dash of pepper
Total = 352 kcal
If you have any topping ideas that would splendid! I've only really made egg and cheese omelets and am looking for something new to try.

The Chicago Bears have added a name o their training camp roster. A day after they opened camp Chicago has traded a seventh round draft pick to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in exchange for defensive tackle Brian Price.
Price was a second round draft pick out of UCLA for the Bucs in 2010, a year in which they doubled up on defensive lineman (selecting Gerald McCoy third overall).
He's recorded just a total of 27 tackles but he's been hobbled by injuries in his two years with Tampa Bay and will join a Bears defensive line that needs pass rush.
Price recently went through great personal loss when his older sister Bridget Price was killed in a car crash back in May.
The injury woes shouldn't continue to be a problem and under Lovie Smith's defensive system, Price should flourish more so than he did in Tampa. He merely shoed potential in Tampa but was bogged down in Raheem Morris' garbled and confusing system.
It's not the first time the Bucs have dumped a defensive lineman on the Bears. In 2009 they traded former third overall pick Gaines Adams to Chicago. Adams died suddenly later that year after only playing in a few games for the Bears.
The Bears send a seventh round pick to the Bucs, so getting Price even if he only marginally produces, is a real steal.

Tokyo, April 1: Misao Okawa, the oldest living person in the world died on Wednesday after celebrating her 117th birthday last month in Japan, media reported.
Okawa was survived by four grandchildren and six great-grandchildren.
Okawa, born in Osaka's Tenam district on March 5, 1898, was recognized as the world's oldest person by Guinness World Records in June 2013 following the death at 116 of fellow Japanese Jiroemon Kimura.
Okawa married to Yukio in 1919. Her husband died in 1931. Her Osaka nursing home says she lost her appetite about 10 days ago. She stopped breathing as her grandson and nursing home officials attended, Japan Times reported.
Okawa, the daughter of a kimono maker, said at a birthday celebration last month that her life seemed rather short.

Experts attribute Japan's longevity statistics to a traditional low-fat diet, affordable healthcare and generous pensions.
Japan is home to most centenarians in the world, with more than 58,000, according to the government. About 87 percent of them are women.

Question: I put in a lawn two years ago and now have some bare patches. Seed doesn't appear to take. What would you recommend doing to repair the patches? I also struggle in some shady spots as well.
Answer: It can be difficult to encourage seed to take in bare patches. Often it's the watering that gets overlooked just at the critical time when the seeds have just germinated. timing is important, so now that the days are getting longer and the soil warmer, your chances of success are good. Mow the grass before sowing and use a wire rake to disturb the surface of the soil to help anchor the roots. Sow the grass seed at a rate of 10-15g per sq m and apply a general fertiliser such as Growmore. Unless your garden receives more than five or more hours of good light or sun, it may be worth considering planting shade-tolerant plants rather than lawn. Shade grass seed mixes are available, but for success, the four or five hours of sun would still be needed.

Phnom Penh (dpa) – Cambodians have been flocking to a provincial temple to see a "possessed" woman who claims to have given birth to a platinum ring, a news report said Monday.
Chea Ith, 43, and her husband have collected donations from believers who heard she was possessed by the spirit of a local goddess and came to see her for themselves, the Cambodia Daily reported.
But local authorities in central Kompong Chhnang province called the couple charlatans and asked her to vacate the premises.
"This woman is lying to make money," commune chief Khlong Varth told the Daily. "I don't believe that the spirit of the god is inside this woman because nobody is able to give birth to rings."
The woman remains adamant that she "birthed" the ring and also pulled another ring from the side of her torso. She also displayed a chicken's egg that she claimed to be magical.
"My wife was not pregnant, but she delivered two rings at the pagoda in the afternoon," her husband was quoted as saying.
Superstitious Cambodians have recently flocked to see a "magic log", a "magic anchor" and a "magic toddler" who was believed to be able to cure the ill and infirm.

1999 Dodge Grand Caravan Sport
3.0L 140, 000? Miles
7 passanger
New Tires
Kenwood cd player and flip down tv w/ dvd player.
I havent drove the van in 6 months. I dont have a need for it anymore and Im tired of paying for plates and insurance.
The van ran great when parked and averaged 25+ mpg which was awesome. The ac was cold but there is no rear heat or ac. The rear blower works but the lines are bypassed because they were leaking. While it has been sitting the battery has went bad.
These vans sell for anywhere from $1, 200 (200, 000+ miles) to $3, 500. I dont want to deal with the haggling and bs from CL but want this gone asap. The van is not washed or cleaned out which is why its only $800.
Between the tv, dvd, radio, new tires, hard to find trans and scrap value there is well over $1, 500 in value for a part out. A little tlc and you could make a good chunk of money or have a nice family vehicle or work van with good mpg.
