I am a mom and teacher who loves where she lives! Our family loves to be active in nature and we feel blessed to live in a such wonderful place to enjoy the outdoors. My husband is a pastor and teacher and we have 2 wonderful boys. We love to hike, play games, go to the beach, and listen/play/sing with music!
We are spending a few weeks visiting family in Southern California and thought it would be a great opportunity to share our home. We hope that if you stay in our space, we can show you around and make you feel as at home as we do!
We love to host parties and try to be generous and hospitable with our space. It feels natural to open our home to other families who may need an affordable place to stay and who want to enjoy this amazing place!

The perfect escap,
This review is from: Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend (Kindle Edition)
I remember when i first saw this book in the supermarket as a teenager. I had never heard of the author but i was strangely attracted to the blue/teal cover and shiny sparkling looking silver title. I was around 16 at the time and had just really started to give in to reading. When i got back i opened it and started to read.... i put it down the next morning once i have finished it.
This book is one of easy-going novels that makes you laugh and smile for no reason i found the story kept me interested in to the end with its witty-ness and constant drama.
I can admit that this book has not left my book shelf and has been re-read 3 or 4 times since.
Go ahead but be warned you might not be able to put it down.

Weapons against Borg
View Single Post
Join Date: Jun 2012

# 9
photon torpedos with the [borg] multiplier work very well in stfs. Why? highest DPS (firerate) +1000 dmg to borg each time = most damage against unshielded borg targets no matter what distance. (gate, transformer, generators, (tactical) cube at some point)
in my experiance phasers work just fine against borg...i see shields and engines failing from time to time. But it seems that they repair subsystems a lot faster.
knockback weapons are great for borg on ground. pulsewave kind of is the smart choice if you can get into close range. Otherwise sniper rifle with knockback to not let them get close. [borg] modifier is good on ground but is not as crucual as in space, since firerate is kind of low on ground. minigun works better with the modifier, but needs remodulation more often...atleast thats what i experianced in the past, although there was a fix to count only the volleys not the bolts itself before you need to remodulate.
i personally prefer compression pistols AP (very high rate of fire+very high exploit dmg) and splitbeam AP [BORG] weapons when doing ground stfs.
tip: boss room in infected ground, it is easier to toss drones down into the plasma with your fists or a pulsewave, than to actually shoot them down.
Go pro or go home

With regards to "what it's like to have me as a guest", I am extremely neat (almost fastidiously so), I do not smoke, am extremely respectful of other peoples property and am very friendly. I am quiet and just like to do touristy sight-seeing things. You do not have to worry about me treating your home like a nightclub. I also don't cook, so you don't have to worry about odd smells being left behind. In short, I am the perfect guest :) If you require any further information please do not hesitate to contact me.

Sharon Stone Signs With Gersh (Exclusive)
Sharon Stone has signed with Gersh, The Hollywood Reporter has learned. A former Gersh client, she was most recently with Paradigm.
The actress recently went to Vancouver to shoot the pilot for TNT's action/adventure drama Agent X. Stone stars as Vice President Natalie Maccabee, the only individual with the authority to deploy the secret government operative known as Agent X. The project hails from The Bourne Identity screenwriter William Blake Herron, who is executive producing alongside Armyan Bernstein (Air Force One, Children of Men, Castle).
Stone will next be seen on the big screen in writer-director John Turturro's comedy Fading Gigolo, co-starring alongside Turturro, Woody Allen and Sofia Vergara. Her extensive film resume includes her Oscar-nominated star turn in Casino, which also generated one of her four Golden Globes nominations. The other three nods were for The Muse, The Mighty and, of course, her indelible breakout performance in Basic Instinct.
Stone won an Emmy Award for outstanding guest actress in 2004 for a three-episode arc on ABC's The Practice. Her other TV appearances include recurring stints on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, Huff, Magnum, P.I. and Bay City Blues as well as roles in ABC's Golden Globes-winning miniseries War and Remembrance and HBO's Emmy-nominated telepic If These Walls Could Talk 2.
Stone continues to be managed by Binder & Associates.

Vivek KundraFederal CIO and Administrator of E-Government and ITOffice of Management and Budget
Vivek Kundra has been an impact player. Since joining the Obama administration as the government's first CIO, Kundra has been in constant motion, championing one initiative after another, including cloud computing, transparency, metrics and data center consolidation.
But in December 2010, Kundra got everyone's attention — inside the Washington Beltway and beyond — when he rolled out the administration's much-anticipated 25-point plan for reforming IT management. The initiative, which pulls together some ideas that have been floated before, provides an IT road map for the next two years. It focuses on shorter procurement cycles, better program management and improved government/industry communications.
Kundra got kudos for spearheading an extensive outreach effort that gave industry groups and agency stakeholders ample opportunity to weigh in on the plan.

Bangalore: Opposition Congress leader in
the Karnataka Assembly, Siddaramaiah on Sunday demanded that the
BJP government should provide details of the source of funding
for its rallies being held across the state.
"BJP is spending hundreds of crores of Rupees on its
rallies. A lot is spent on advertisements alone. Who gave them
the money? They should place this account before the people,"
he said at a press conference here.
His remarks came a day after the ruling party
organised a rally at his home district Mysore, targeting the
Congress leader who led the 320 km `Bellary Chalo` padayatra.
The BJP accused the Opposition leader of not doing
anything for welfare of backward classes after projecting
himself as their leader.
Siddaramaiah said the Congress padayatra and the rally
was funded from donations of partymen, details of which it was
ready to make public.
Chief Minister Yeddyurappa should concentrate on
providing regular power supply, especially in rural areas,
which do not get electricity for even two hours, "instead of
spending time and money on rallies", he said, adding the state
government should step down from power if it fails to perform.
"BJP itself will remove Yeddyurappa shortly from
Chief Ministership," he claimed.
Siddaramaiah also hit out at state BJP president K S
Eswarappa over his allegations against Governor H R Bhardwaj
for openly flaunting his Congress credentials.
"Only fascists can talk like this," he said.
Eswarappa had attacked the Governor for declining
consent to the state`s bill on banning cow slaughter and for
referring it to the President for assent.

Healing Arts program uses hospital for a gallery
First-time visitors to Hudson Hospital & Clinics may be surprised by the amount and quality of original artwork on display in the corridors and waiting areas.
It's so abundant and expertly exhibited that a person might think they had wandered into a gallery, if not for the hustle and bustle of the medical facility.
The unique environment is the creation of the Healing Arts program, a collaboration of the hospital and The Phipps Center for the Arts.

Discussion in 'Fly Tying' started by Chris Bellows, Aug 1, 2013.
Is it a faux pas to wait with baited breath on a fly fishing forum?
sorry about the delay... the winner is Jack's burlap.
good job to everyone who posted their great flies.
i chose the burlap because it reminds me so much of a fly i landed two fish on the one and only time i fished the north fork of the stilly and it was an exceptional tie and photo.
Not sure, I just figured it was a long weekend so I'd bump the thread so Chris would make a call and we can get rollin' on tying into September...
Nice work Jack!
Give me a day to think about the September Fly Salon subject.
Not to hijack, but I bet this would make an awesome estuary chum fly! I'll be tying some up for next month! Thanks Leland!
How did you get the floating look on this fly for the picture? Picture looks great.
I didn't take the photo. A professional photographer took them and I wasn't with him when he shot it but I am sure he mounted it on a small plexi post just as flies are mounted on plates and shadow boxes.
Thomas, those are way cool.
Leland, I have had a pic of your Fat Train up on my wall for a couple of years. I love that fly. Thanks for posting it again.
Oh Please STOP IT!
You guys are just feeding my addiction and I can't get out on the river for a while.
Beautiful flies. Great photos.
No, don't stop. Keep them coming. I will deal with the addiction.
Thanks for sharing.
This is as sparse as I get when it comes to low water patterns - otherwise, I am fishing for something else.
this is my favorite warm day - mid to late summer steelhead pattern

Customer service sent me a replaceable part & it now works just fine. I also like the fact that if you just want the flame effect without the heat you have that option....

few flaws but otherwise OK
neighbor assembled it w/o me present or i would have returned due to paint not being properly distributed where the top section sits on the bottom section on lower right side. I will have to use paint or stain to cover these imperfections since it looks really bad. If not for this, then it would be fine. But now it looks like it has been scratched. Not to happy with the buttons that turn flame or heat on -- they both are sitting to low and hard to turn on.Read More

How to Buy an Electric Fireplace
Electric fireplaces are quickly becoming a staple in many homes. These efficient, installation-friendly indoor fireplaces have allowed homeowners and renters the look of an expensive fireplace without the hassle of a wood-burning fireplace. In addition to beauty, an electric fireplace can be a beneficial source of radiant heat. Look below to learn how to buy an electric fireplace.
Best Indoor Fireplaces for Your Living Room
Stay warm and cozy without chopping wood and lighting fires when you buy indoor fireplaces for your living room. Whether you're short on space and want to hang a wall fireplace or are dreaming of sitting in front of a stylish electric fireplace, the following suggestions will help you choose a fireplace that fits well in your space and warms the room effectively. Read on for tips on finding the best indoor fireplaces for your living room.
Tips on Buying an Indoor Fireplace
Nothing is quite as soothing as a crackling indoor fireplace when you want warmth on a chilly night. Fortunately, you can get the heat and calming effect of a wood-burning fireplace without the upkeep and mess when you buy one of the modern indoor fireplaces for your home. Whether you want a wall-mount fireplace for a small living room or a corner fireplace for your bedroom, you're sure to find a fireplace that keeps you cozy for years to come. Read on for tips on buying an indoor fireplace.
How to Use Fireplaces on an Outdoor Patio
Summer nights are ideal for hanging out on the patio, but you can still use your outdoor space when cooler temperatures hit by adding a fireplace. To get the same warmth of a brick-and-mortar fireplace without the commitment or cost to build, try using an indoor/outdoor fireplace. These portable fireplaces are often heated by gel fuel and provide the right amount of warmth for fall and spring weather.
How to Decorate Your Fireplace Mantel
Depending on how you choose to decorate your indoor fireplace mantel, it can be the room's focal point or an extension of an already established theme. The only thing that can make indoor fireplaces more warm and welcoming is the right decorative accessories along the mantelpiece. Plan your fireplace decor carefully because there are a few common decorating traps when it comes to mantels. Some people crowd the mantel with too many small pieces, while others resort to symmetrical arrangements of objects all the same height. Think about your mantel as a gallery with the potential for rotating exhibits.
Outdoor Fireplace Ideas
Making your patio more inviting can be as simple as adding an outdoor fireplace and some great garden decor. Outdoor fireplaces are popular not only because they provide a garden center point ideal for parties, but because they can extend the outdoor entertaining season well beyond the warm summer months. If you're looking for outdoor fireplace ideas for your patio, yard or garden, then you've come to the right place; it's time to make your garden the place to see and be seen.
Decorating a Fireplace Mantel to Fit the Season
Decorating your fireplace mantel is a subtle way to change your room with every season. To make your fireplace mantel the focal point of a room, pick decorative accessories that make it stand out. Here are a few ideas to help you decorate your mantel for each season.
Tips on Gas Range Installation
A gas range can add an element of style to any kitchen, as it just seems natural to cook over an open flame. The flames produced by gas ranges reach higher temperatures than electric ranges, resulting in faster cooking times and a more energy-efficient cooking surface. There are, however, a few things to consider when you're installing a gas range.
Tips on Cooking with Your New Electric Grill
Maybe you're a student with a brand-new indoor electric grill perfectly sized for your small dorm kitchen, or maybe some friends love their electric grill so much they gave you one for your birthday. Whatever the case, now you can enjoy the ease and speed of indoor electric grilling. Whether you are a grilling expert or an experimenting beginner, you can use these tips with your new electric grill.
Electric Grill Buying Guide
For a healthy alternative to pan frying that will save you time, turn to electric grills and griddles. Electric grills, like the George Foreman grill, help you cook with less fat, and these indoor grills heat up fast, unlike an outdoor charcoal or gas grill. These appliances are a great addition to any kitchen because they are easy to use and to clean. Indoor grills come in a few different models based on how and what you prefer to cook, and there are many features to choose from. Read on to understand the different models and features so you can find the perfect electric grill.
Electric Grills Fact Sheet
If you live in an area with harsh winters or stifling summers, or if you just do not have the time to devote to maintaining a full-size grill, then an indoor electric grill might be the best way for you to cook delicious hamburgers, scrumptious seafood and tender vegetables on a grill. Electric grills are smaller and more versatile than their outdoor counterparts, and you can quickly prepare your favorite foods in the comfort of your kitchen.
How to Cook With a Griddle
Cooking breakfast or even dinner on a griddle doesn't have to be reserved for camping anymore; in fact, you can simplify your cooking by using electric grills instead of a bunch of pots and pans. With the right electric griddle and a bit of cooking oil, you can feed a crowd in minutes. Read on for tips on cooking with a griddle indoors and out.
Health Benefits of Indoor Fountains
Aside from their natural beauty, indoor fountains have several hidden benefits you might not know about. Placing indoor fountains in a room will add a soothing, natural and comfortable atmosphere to your home that will spread like wildfire throughout the entire house. If you have enjoyed the tranquility of outdoor fountains, bring their magic indoors. Water fountains aren't just beautiful household decorations; they are a viable health-promoting home device. If you are considering installing an indoor fountain, here are a few benefits they have to offer you and your home.
Tips on Using Notebook Computers Anywhere
The real brilliance of notebook computers is their portability. You can take your work and play with you wherever you go, and with the right laptop and a few accessories, you can stay connected at nearly any time, in any place. Here are some tips for making sure notebook computers work for you when you are out and about.
How to Cut Your Power Bill in the Kitchen
Electricity costs are constantly on the rise, but the kitchen is an excellent place to cut down on your power bill. With just a few simple steps, you can easily save money every month. Plus, you can also decrease your footprint on the environment. Check out these money-saving steps that will teach you how to cut your power bill in the kitchen.
How to Buy a Ceiling Fan
With its low electrical cost, a ceiling fan is a very efficient cooling solution for the home. Indoor ceiling fans use about as much energy as a 100-watt light bulb and can greatly reduce your home cooling expenses. The cooling effects of a ceiling fan not only save you money but let you keep your windows open longer, allowing more fresh air into your home. A ceiling fan can also be used, if it has a reverse mode, to help defray heating costs in the winter. With all of these benefits, there's no reason not to find the best ceiling fans for every room in your home. Read on for suggestions that will help you buy ceiling fans for your home.
Anti-Allergen Bedding Guide
If you've been diagnosed with indoor allergies, your bedding is a good place to begin protecting yourself. You'll spend about a third of your life asleep, so if you suffer from allergies, it's crucial to make sure the bedroom is a safe haven. Whether you have trouble with dust mites or animal dander, you can make your bed an allergen-free zone with anti-allergen bedding and a bit of housekeeping.
Tips on Placing Your Outdoor Speakers
With a nice backyard, you can create a beautiful area for hosting and entertaining guests. One way to add atmosphere to your backyard retreat is to pipe in high-quality music with indoor/outdoor speakers. You can use conventional or wireless speakers to distribute great audio evenly over you patio, garden or pool. You may want to select your outdoor speakers with certain placement ideas in mind. So, here are some tips for placing stereo speakers to add some life to your outdoor spaces.
FAQs about Foosball Tables
Adding affordable and high-quality foosball tables to your home is a smart move on your part. These table games are the perfect addition to any recreation room. Foosball tables are perfect for hours of fun during both winter and summer since it's an indoor sport. Your recreation room will be the most popular place on your block. In order to keep your foosball table functioning at its best, there are a few things you should know about your new table game. Impress your friends with your knowledge about this game and keep reading for answers to frequently asked questions about foosball tables.
How to Choose a Bathtub
Whether you are remodeling an existing bathroom or building a brand-new home, you will have to choose a tub for the space. When you consider measurements, water-heater capacity and electrical outlets, picking a tub requires pre-planning to ensure you get the right one. One bathtub may be perfect for an open space without a shower, while another may need to be dropped into place against a wall. Knowing what you need ahead of time will ensure you get the best bathtub for your space. Read over this guide to learn how to choose a bathtub.

"Women's Murder Club series ROCKS!!"
I would say the entire Women's Murder Club series is top-knotch in my book.....The storylines are great, and the narration is PERFECTO!!
Lindsey is my favorite, but she does a great job with ALL of them, as far as I'm concerned.
If I had the time, absolutely.
"Modern Day LOVE STORY. BEAUTIFUL!"
I truly enjoyed this audio book. The narration was excellent, and the story was one I didn't want to end.
"Narrator was TERRIBLE"
I have read the entire series, and I enjoyed the stories, but the narrator was a bit of a joke.
"AWESOME, nail-biter, gotta love it!"
suspense, believable, AWESOME
James Patterson is amazing at the descriptions he uses. I loved how the main character got married and his wonderful son.
"Outstanding book. MUST READ/listen to"
I loved the interactions with the various characters. The voices made the story come alive. So believable. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Found myself sitting my car so I could finish a chapter or two!!
I felt like I was part of the story. It seemed like it happened just yesterday.
Jack was my most favorite. Sounded like it was written totally from his perspective!
The ending, when they went back to visit the room.

IC: i distorted the strange energy bursts again but this time i fired a laser at one of them, the hallway began collapsing..
OOC: pretty much like you said KO it warps anything that it hits so i made it have contact with a laser in turn activating that warping.
Eh... I'll buy that for now since I don't control this lore.
"Skifran, anomaly in access corridor A!"
"Our little friend's grav vepon?"
"No... it appears to be a growing varp-field!"
The Skifran growled. "Dampeners! Now!"
The tech aide began hitting buttons and flipping switched, initiating a dampener field to !@#$ down the warp before it became uncontrollable.
The leather on the dress was slightly worn, but it held memories, the leather was near the shoulders and the top of the dress, while the silk like material was flowing near the bottom. The smoothness of it, the colorful beauty of it all.
I could hear Aer and Saevire bickering, they were discussing if they really wanted to join in this... Saevire didn't really want to, but he would if needed. Aer on the other hand didn't want to at all. This was the perfect opportunity... I sneaked out of door with the bundle that is the dress in my arm.
Small insectoid like beings start swarming out of the purple gooey mass. Torzaz quickly registers them as hostile when one lunges on top of a nearby human. He moves with haste into a building to escape the slaughter. He quickly deploys three Bellators. He frantically starts making sure everything was good with his Blood Rifle when one of the insectoids pounces upon him, knocking the Blood Rifle across the room. Torzaz and the small creature land on the floor and Torzaz rolls over on top of it. He keeps it from pushing up and attacking with one hand while trying to grab his Plasma torch with the other. He pulls his Plasma Torch out, activates it, and shoves it into one of the creatures eyes and then the other, rendering it blind. But it screams attracted the attention of others.
He gets up and puts away his Plasma torch and turns around pulling out his Abyss Blade. He sees several more. One of which having metal hanging from its jaws, Torzaz assumes it is one of the Bellators. One of them jump and he pushes his blade out in front of him, stabbing straight through the head out of the creature. Having a hard time pulling it out he drops it. He pulls out his combat knife and looks across the room, seeing his Blood Rifle. He was about to sprint for it when he gets jumped on from behind. A screeching sound comes from above him.
Torzaz starts speaking in Latin, strangely the primary language of his tribe, "Vero mors venerit ad me. Ut autem non existimer erit in oblivione. Memoria est vera immortalitas." He feels the breath of the creature on the back of his head and exhales. Just as Torzaz thought that the creature was going to feast he hears a gun shot ring out. Torzaz feels the body fall upon his back. A mixture of confusion and relief wash over him. He hears 4 more bangs and then feels the weight come off of his back.
He stands up, towering over the human that saved him by at least a half a foot. He reverts back to English, "Thank you. I was sure I was going to lose my life." He picks up his combat knife and puts it away. He pushes one foot against the lifeless creature with a sword through its face and pushes it away as he pulls out the blade. He then walks over to grab his Blood Rifle.
"It was no problem. In a way, you saved mine as well." The human remarks. The human starts to reload the revolver in his hand and looks at the insectoid corpses.
"How so?" Torzaz asks curiously.
"Your little robots killed the Zerglings trying to take out me and some other survivors." The human replies. The human kicks a corpse of one of the 'Zerglings' over.
"You know what these are?" Torzaz asks, this time in a more formal tone.
"Yes. I'll tell you later. First we will need to get the survivors out of here before more come." The human answers.

I'm pretty sure the Zerg have been completely pacified in this. Unless this happened a long time ago.
"Splinter groups that are pissed off. And thank you for reading."
the zerg shall never be pacified. perhaps they will shift their focus to another sector or even galaxy but NEVER pacified.
OK, I don't personally care. Just warning you, Markus may not approve. Nice writing, btw.
Be prepared for a plot hole from both me and SF most likely.
Edited by CrymsonRaven on 11/24/2012 11:13 AM PST
What's that supposed to mean? Are Korzis and Cynthia coming back?
Because that would be truly wonderful for me.
Eh... Sure? But any who... I'm also thinking about making a dangerous gamble on who "The Mother" is related to... "The Mother" is the leader of Aquila et Umbram... And hence when I said plot hole.
But I can do that, just need to know on how old.
Who the Mother is related to...
The Mother is an AI, right?
"No. But mine is another Ravius."
Edited by ShadowFury on 11/24/2012 11:20 AM PST
Knarled, "The Mother" is not an AI... But yet a human. That is just her codename because of her caring attribute. I'm afraid I might spoiler the surprise.
But she did have an AI created from her... LICENTIA!
Edited by CrymsonRaven on 11/24/2012 11:21 AM PST
I can work with a descendant. Hehehe.
Prepare for horrifying things to happen to the Raviuses.
Vatalks'Tern stepped back, shielding his eyes against the warp field's harsh light. The field was dying, but... He spoke into his comm.
"Armsman Vatalks to bridge: the subject evaded us. It is headink for ze bridge now."
The Skifran growled and leapt down from the upper bridge. "I vill deal vis zis machine myself."
OOC: Hm. Well, in that case she is of no use to me. I just want to rezz my favorite villain, and I need a Ravius or an AI for that.

the world is fucking saturated in the stuff, and something has to give.
I know i'm personally sick to death of mobile phone dating scams and panty liner ads being marketed to me on TV.
As you point out yourself, its all about being devious, though I wonder from your choice of words if you recognize how much this is already going on. Obviously many of these deals are made away from the public eye, so you can only guess as to their existence, but if you watch closely there are clues; on a couple of my favourite shows I have noticed that anytime a character is using a computer it is a Dell, and since noticing this I have come to realise that a good clean shot of the Dell logo occurs at least once per episode.
Your point about the MS patent makes me wonder if the difference between home and business versions of the next MS OS will be ads vs no-ads.

Pershore Town 3 Brocton 1
Midland Combination Premier Division
PERSHORE gained a thoroughly deserved three points with an impressive win over eighth placed Brocton on Saturday.
The hosts took a 15th minute lead with a good move which ended with Zac Blood's cross cum shot falling to Sean Cook who rounded the keeper before scoring.
Pershore then doubled their advantage on the half hour mark when Richard Congrave's bursting run saw him release Blood who crossed for Scott Finnegan to score with a header.
Pershore maintained their grip on proceedings in the second half and put the outcome beyond doubt when Blood's corner was fumbled into the net by the Brocton keeper in the 60th minute.
Joe Pickering scored a fine consolation goal ten minutes from time but by this stage there was to be no denying Pershore, who visit Pilkington XXX tomorrow seeking a fourth league win of the season.

I started thinking SPRING and pulled this little guy out of my stash, gave him some legs and a tree limb to perch on and Ta Ta--my second needlepunch finished! Off it goes, into the whatever drawer.
My first:
Can you buy three stand DMC floss that comes in a ball locally, or do you have to buy them online?


text: I'll be seeing Bob Seger & the Silver Bullet Band in Worcester on Jan. 30. Last time I saw him live was waaaaaay back in 1975! His band opened up for REO Speedwagon at the Orpheum Theater in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. The place was only about half full. Thirty-one years later, Bob is 61 and I'm ... 31 years older (gulp)! Really looking forward to the show.

Christmas RANUNCULUS and SILVER REINDEER Cake love this Christmas cake design
Christmas RANUNCULUS & SILVER REINDEER Cake - Here is the 2nd of my two Christmas cakes I made this year for family dinners. This one was a design I had in my head for ages so although we did not need so many servings, I had to make a 3 tier to incorporate all the ideas that were floating in my head. The middle tier therefore is a dummy cake. I used my two-tone petals again to make up my Christmas tree and as the petals that surround the ranunculus in the middle tier and of course on my wreath topper again. I was SO happy with how my ranunculus turned out! I used gumpaste this time and let my petals form their shape in soup spoons for about 30 mins before applying them. I used my own method of making the ranunculus after studying tonnes of ranunculus flowers I saw on other people's cakes including The Crumb Coat, Kara's Couture Cakes' wafer paper version and Anna Craig on CC. The cake itself on the other hand did not turn out exactly as planned. I had wanted the reindeer to be centred in the bottom tier but I had a few issues with a new recipe for Pumpkin Spice cake that I was experimenting with (who else to experiment on than family? lol). The cakes came out of the oven nice and fluffy and I couldn't have been happier. But as they cooled, they settled and the fluffiness became denser and I lost about an inch and a half on each tier. So the reindeer would no longer fit in the centre with the ranunculus flowers overhead so I had to improvise and move the reindeer to the right. I actually think it ended up better over there…at least I tell myself that lol. ENJOY and blessed New Year to ALL! TFL.

They are also looking for volunteers, so if you are interested visit their website and sign up - mention that you have the added experience of working with NTIF.

Aberdeen FC
The football is normally terrible but once in a while you can get some great entertainment. The cup run in 2007 / 2008 was great and something that may never happen again.
Equipment: Wrap up warm in mid winter, well all year round for that matter :-)
Zorbing aka TheMountain Ball at House Of Mulben.
Little expensive at £45 per roll, but its for 2 people. It doesn't last long but thats just as well as its stomach churning.
Great fun and something you need to do once in your lifetime.
Equipment: Near Keith at Mulben
- Bungy Jumping
Go and see the Don's in action & their newest fan
Aberdeen Football Club was founded in 1903 when three of the city teams joined together to create the Dons - named after the river which flows nearby. Aberdeen F.C. play their home games at Pittodrie Stadium, capacity 22,199, situated near the beach promonade. The clubs mascot is Angus the Bull but if you check out the YouTube Link you will see Dolly the Sheep - an Aberdeen joke and a taunt from oppossing fans. The Northern LightsThe supporters are known as the "RED ARMY" and their motto is "STAND FREE" Although I have been to Pittodrie - one time was by default when I went - not to see the Mighty Dons - but to see Rod Stewart in Concert I have been to see them play but not as often as two of my Sons who proudly put themselves amongst the RED ARMY!
Equipment: The team colour are RED so bring along your football scarf - unless you are supporting the opposition!
- Adventure Travel
If your there during the football season you should try and get down to watch aberdeen play. Although there not the team they once were they still can play good football at times. In my opinion you should try and get a ticket for the south stand but I know a lot of people who prefer the dick donald stand but they are both equally good. Make sure you have a pie while at the game it's a must.
Equipment: make sure to dress well as especially in the winter months as the stadium can get really cold due to it being close to the beach.
- Business Travel
- Road Trip
Linx Ice Arena
Another b....y ice rink?
Well, no actually. Out of all the ice hockey venues I get to visit (rink rat is the technical description) during the season, this is one of the best.
Why? Well its modern and well maintained. It has heating and clean toilets with modest luxuries like toilet paper and hand dryers! It is next to a swimming pool, so you can use both if you want. It is on the beach, so you can go for a walk and recover from the 2 hour journey to get there. Nearby you have the funfair, cinema + restaurant complex with lots of things to keep kids happy. You have a golf range next door, and Pittodrie Stadium (home of Aberdeen soccer club - but watch out for congestion on match days)
Downside - like most ice rinks, the bar and cafe close when the ice hockey starts and you have to survive on what the vending machines serve up.
Equipment: Warm clothing if spectating - its not that well heated!
Loose change for vending machines!
If you want to skate you can hire the skates.
- School Holidays
- Family Travel
Catch a game of Cricket
In Summer you can watch a game of cricket being played at Duthie Park, the Aberdeen University has a team called the Bon Accord Cricket Club and were Scottish Universities first Xl champions in 2006. They play at all levels and abilities. So if you want to know the score = see a cricket match.
- Family Travel
Sports in Aberdeen
Aberdeen offers quite a lot possibilities to become active. You see a lot of people running, walking, skating, riding their bikes etc. along the coast promenade. Many people enjoy playing golf in Scotland, and yes, there are plenty possibilities to this in Aberdeen as well. Students and locals meet in Seaton Park daily to play Rugby or Football, just feel free to join them if you like. I saw even people surfing in January - the Scots are really tough guys! Scotland also offers Scuba Diving, yet you have to go up north for the best spots - and leave your 3mm shorty at home :-)!
The best way to enjoy sports in a passive way is to go and see a football match in the Pittodrie Stadium. The tickets are 15£ for students, 20£ regualar, the best stand is the Richard Donald stand as it offers the best view. Visit www.afc.co.uk to see when matches are on.
Ask the locals if you can go out on a fishing trip
During Harbour Day (held in August) you can have a trip in a little fishing boat. See where the fishermen place their creels to haul up some lobster & other sea creatures. At other times of the year if a boat is going out just ask the fisherman he will probably oblige
Equipment: No equipment necessary
- Road Trip
Go knock them over
Lot's of bowling lanes with good disabled facilities & shoe hire.
Bowling is fun for families but there are a lot of temptations for children to throw away their parents' money namely slot machines & video games.
Equipment: None required
- Family Travel
- Theme Park Trips
Golfers' heaven
If you like golf, you will like Aberdeen. The city offers more than 70 golf courses within and outside the city. Those in the country side are usually very popular as the view is simply undescribable and always available.
70% of the populations here are somehow related to the oil industry, and interestingly around 70% of the people are into golf. You will never find more golf courses so densely available than Aberdeen.
Equipment: Bring a windbreaker along. The wind can be strong at times and chilly.
- Golf
Football Madness
The Aberdeen Football Club and its fans still hang on to the memory that they were a quality team in the early 80s, culminating with a defeat of Rio Madrid in a European Cup Final.
The recent years haven't been as successful as Aberdeen finds itself near the bottom of the Scottish Premiership. Celtic on the otherhand hasn't lost all season.
Here is confidence
Here is the heavy weight ring toss competition from the Highland Games in Aboyne. This competitor has an amazing amount of confidence in his throw as he is not even looking at the 28 pound (12.75 Kg) weight that is flying above his head.

Skiing is near by..
Aberdeen is conveniently located to several ski centres, the closest being Glenshee which is only about an hours drive away. The other major one is The Lecht which is just over an hours drive away and of course Cairngorm. Glenshee has the most extensive facilities, and Cairngorm is the most well known but the Lecht is a lot smaller and friendly.
Equipment: All three of the above ski resorts have facilities for hiring of boots, skis and boards, so if you don't have your own there is no problem.
- Skiing and Boarding
The competitors
While the competitors may not be able to win a Mr. Universe competition, they are most certainly some strong men!

Confused Palm Tree
This tree is great! Our cousins outside of NYC ordered one but they were out of stock. When the one I purchased arrived at their house they thought it was the one they ordered. We could not understand what had happened to our tree until we told them that we had sent the tree to them. The said "Oh we thought that was the tree we ordered." Now it sits on their enclosed porch or in better weather on their deck. We named it "Confused" because it did not know who's tree it started out as. Neighbors have been calling them asking "Is that a palm tree I see on your porch?"

SD tribe faces deadline, $4.9M price to block development near Wounded Knee massacre site
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. — A small patch of prairie sits largely unnoticed off a desolate road in southwestern South Dakota, tucked amid gently rolling hills and surrounded by dilapidated structures and hundreds of gravesites — many belonging to Native Americans massacred more than a century earlier.The assessed value of the property: less than $14,000. The seller's asking price: $4.9 million.Tribal members say the man who owns a piece of the Wounded Knee National Historic Landmark on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation is trying to profit from their suffering. It was there, on Dec. 29, 1890, that 300 Native American men, women and children were killed by the 7th Cavalry in the final battle of the American Indian Wars....

WOUNDED KNEE, S.D. — Ever since American soldiers massacred men, women and children here more than a century ago in the last major bloodshed of the American Indian wars, this haunted patch of rolling hills and ponderosa pines has embodied the combustible relationship between Indians and the United States government.It was here that a group of Indian activists aired their grievances against the government with a forceful takeover in 1973 that resulted in protests, a bloody standoff with federal agents and deep divisions among the Indian people.And now the massacre site, which passed into non-Indian hands generations ago, is up for sale, once again dragging Wounded Knee to the center of the Indian people's bitter struggle against perceived injustice — as well as sowing rifts within the tribe over whether it would be proper, should the tribe get the land, to develop it in a way that brings some money to the destitute region....

Chocolate Cookies and Cream Cupcakes
A few things:
I'm addicted to Rob Dyrdek's Fantasy Factory on MTV. The show has no real redeeming qualities, unless you count riding a rhinoceros, forcing Justin Bieber to drive a go kart up a ramp into a pit of foam blocks, or beaming people in the head with dodge balls. But somehow, it just speaks to me.
I've started fast forwarding the parts on Idol where Steven Tyler talks. I mean, I love the man, but I spend a good hour trying to decipher his sayings.
Jon David and I have a date to pie each other in the face. It's sort of a life long dream of mine.
Another lifelong dream of mine? Eating at Cheesecake Factory. The closest one is in Tulsa, which is roughly 2 1/2 hours away, which seems like an awfully long drive just to go eat, according to my husband. Apparently he missed the Lifelong Dream part. Besides, I told him if it bothered him THAT bad, we could go to the mall and stuff too while we were there. I'm already trying to plan what I'm going to eat. This is a big deal. Suggestions?
Please don't suggest anything remotely healthy. I'd really hate to ruin my Lifelong Dream Moment.
Another thing? I made Chocolate Cookies and Cream Cupcakes.
My original Cookies and Cream Cupcake recipe is my most popular, so I decided that a chocolate version needed to happen. I make a few changes to the original filling so it's thicker this time.
Another change I made is the frosting. Besides making it CHOCOLATE with crushed cookies, I also…
…gave it a dip in a thin chocolate shell.
Let's review.
Cookie bottom. Chocolate Cupcake. Cream filling. Chocolate and crushed cookie frosting. Dipped in chocolate shell.
This is not a cupcake that cuts corners.
Serve them to people you want to impress. Or people you are angry at. Remember Being Mean By Being Nice? It's a thing.[/donotprint]
Chocolate Cookies and Cream Cupcakes
- 1 box Dark Chocolate Fudge Cake Mix, plus eggs, oil, and water needed to prepare
- 24 Chocolate Sandwich Cookies (like Oreos)
- Filling:
- 13 oz jar Marshmallow Creme (or Fluff)
- 1/2 stick (4 TBS) butter, softened
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- Frosting:
- 2 sticks butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 Tablespoon hot water
- Chocolate Shell:
- 2 cups milk chocolate chips
- 2/3 cup vegetable shortening
- Mini cookies or chocolate sprinkles, for garnish
1. Preheat oven to 350. Line 24 muffin tins with paper liners. Add a cookie to the bottom of each liner.
2. Prepare batter according to box directions. Fill cups 2/3 full with batter and bake for about 12-15 minutes, until tops spring back when lightly touched. Place on a wire rack until cool.
3. While cupcakes cool, make filling: In the bowl of a mixer, combine marshmallow creme, butter, and vanilla until smooth. Add powdered sugar and beat on medium high until light and fluffy. Fill cooled cupcakes by either cutting a hole in the top with a small knife and spooning it in, OR piping it in with a disposable piping bag and Bismark Tip.
4. Once cupcakes are cooled and filled, prepare frosting: In the bowl of your mixer, combine butter and vanilla until smooth. Add powdered sugar and cocoa powder, beating on low until just combined. Add hot water and beat on high for about a minute. Fold in cookie crumbs. Pipe frosting on cupcakes, or frost with butter knife or spatula. Place cupcakes in the fridge for about 30 minutes to chill.
5. Chocolate Shell: Place chocolate chips and shortening in a medium-large microwave safe bowl. Microwave on high, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth. Dip frosting part of cupcakes in the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off. Immediately top with mini cookies and sprinkles. Wait until chocolate is set before serving.
If you're going to pipe the frosting on high, you'll want to double the frosting recipe.
Alternatively, you could use your favorite homemade chocolate cake recipe.
You can purchase a Bismark Tip for filling cupcakes HERE
[donotprint]Don't be daunted by the long list of instructions. They're all very simple steps and make for a very impressive cupcake.
Enjoy and have a happy Thursday!![/donotprint]
