How it works
TwoPotatoe Speed and Position
Understanding how TwoPotatoe determines its speed and position is central to the whole algorithm. The wheels are obviously not a good indicator of the speed and direction of the robot since at any given time, the wheels will be going faster or slower that the robot in order to keep it in balance. There is a point on the robot known as the Center of Oscillation (CO). If the robot starts out stable and upright and then the wheels start moving rapidly back and forth, there is a point about 5 inches above the wheels where the robot moves neither forward or backwards. This is the CO. It is located, not coincidentally, at about the point where the knot appears in the wood.
We know the wheel speed, from the wheel encoders and we know the rate of change in the pitch (angle leaning forward or backward) from the gyroscope. We can compute the speed and position of the CO directly from this.
Speed Algorithm
The speed of TwoPotatoe is controlled directly from the joystick on the hand controller. The top speed is about 4 fps (feet per second) so that if the joystick is advance 50% toward its limit, the controller sends a message to TwoPotatoe to go 2.0 fps. TwoPotatoe receives this message goes through the following computation about 100 times a second:
- Find the Speed Error, which is the difference between the Target Speed, commanded from the controller, and CO calculated as described above.
- Convert the Speed Error to a Target Pitch Angle. This is the angle we want TwoPotatoe to be at so that it will accelerate to the Target Speed.
- Compute the Pitch Error, which is the difference between where TwoPotatoe currently is and where it needs to be.
- Compute the Target Wheel Speed from the Pitch Error. This speed is either faster or slower than the CO speed to make TwoPotatoe eventually reach the Target Angle. A command is sent to the motors to go at this speed.
Motor Control Algorithm
A key factor in the performance of TwoPotatoe is the motor control algorithm. The above Speed Algorithm requires that the motors go at the speed that is commanded. This is done by controlling the motor directly from the interrupts generated by the motor encoders. The algorithm is very simple:
- The Target Speed is converted to a Target Interrupt Period, which is a value in microseconds.
- When a motor encoder interrupt occurs the time since the last interrupt is computed. If it is greater than the Target Interrupt Period, the motor is turned on. If it is less than the Target Interrupt Period, the motor is turned off.
Note that the motors are not controlled through the usual PWM outputs of the Arduino.
Also, note that the above algorithm falls apart badly at low speeds—especially at zero speed where then no interrupts are being generated. To take care of this problem, the Speed Algorithm also monitors the motors and adds pulses when necessary.
- Mosfet power control. This allows TwoPotatoe to be turned off (but not on) remotely. More importantly, TwoPotatoe can automatically power down when the battery charge drops to a dangerously low level, thereby preventing battery damage.
- Wheel pressure sensors. This allows TwoPotatoe to be picked up and set down while it is running.

PID Rant
Many people have noted that most (nearly all?) self-balancing robots use the PID algorithm to stay upright and that TwoPotatoe does not use this algorithm. This is because a PID algorithm always produces a suboptimal solution to the problem. It is very difficult, if not impossible, to tune a PID algorithm do deal adequately with complex maneuvers, rough ground, and inclines. As the many videos on YouTube indicate, they can be made to work fairly well, but not ideally, on a flat surface. The Wikipedia article on PID algorithms states the issue very well:
While PID controllers are applicable to many control problems, and often perform satisfactorily without any improvements or only coarse tuning, they can perform poorly in some applications, and do not in general provide optimal control.
Since understanding the motion of a self-standing robot requires only high-school-level Newtonian physics, it should be possible to control the motors in a way that is optimal in all circumstances. TwoPotatoe attempts to solve the control problem in a way that is optimal in all circumstances. Ideally, the only limitation on performance of the robot should be the power of the motors and traction of the wheels. (Thank you Grant Katsumata at Pololu for suggesting just increasing the voltage on the motor to get more speed and power from the motors. The motors haven't burned out yet!) If the motors and wheels are capable of performing a particular action, then the algorithm should be capable of correctly controlling it. There should be rapid recovery from all situations with no overshoot or oscillation.
The algorithm is still under development and has undergone many revisions over the past few months. Once things stabilize—hopefully in the next few months—I will publish a more detailed explanation on this page.

A word from 83 1/2
83 ½ is best described as a labor of love. A love of a family, friends and most importantly, food. Owner Vincenzo Mangiafridda, a twenty-year restaurant veteran of the Upper East Side, wanted to open a restaurant that spoke to his deep Sicilian roots. In 83 1/2, his vision has become reality. Chef David Pereg has created a menu of memorable Italian dishes including silky pastas, inventive antipasti, and delicious entrees.Continued
Above all, it's Vincenzo's love of people that makes 83 ½ what it is: a warm, welcoming place where friends and families share their passion for food and familiar faces. We can't wait for your family to meet ours.

- Lovely eveningKaren24Dined on 11/24/2014We needed to find a place for dinner on the upper east side when we saw a review of 83 & 1/2. How lucky - the service was wonderful, the food delicious, cannot say enough about the eggplant appetizer! We will certainly go there again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Hidden gem of a restaurantStephenHVIPDined on 11/12/2014I just had my second dinner at 83 1/2 in less than a month, and I am convinced it is a neighborhood gem. Both times I had dinner on a Wednesday, which seems like a quite night for them. So they over a zero corkage policy with excellent glassware on Wednesdays. The food was great, the service friendly and the prices are reasonable. What more could I ask. I need to become a regular!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent find!Jenny20Dined on 11/8/2014Took my in-laws, who live near the restaurant, for dinner. They had never been there -- and they're picky. Everyone loved it. Delicious from start to finish. Appetizers were excellent, and the pasta was out of this world. We all ordered wine by the glass and we got to taste what we ordered before the full pour -- such a great service! We will return!Special Features:
- Nice SpotLaneDined on 11/6/2014Nice cozy spot, can get a bit noisy.... Food was very well prepared...and a nice presentation...IF YOU love Brussel Sprouts their salad is excellent...almost large enough to be an entree! Nice Pasta choices as well.Special Features:

- Could be so much better if . . .EaterVIPDined on 10/28/2014The place has so much potential as the chef really knows how to cook. But it took forever to get our entrees, and then they weren't hot enough. Also, the stale bread has to go. Please chef, get an assistant to help you out.
- quaint and freshtheirfanVIPDined on 10/20/2014the food is freshly made before you. great service, nice neighborhood place
- Good Italian FoodjaydeejayVIPDined on 10/14/2014This is a very small neighborhood restaurant with with an open kitchen. It is so small, that I think reservations would be a must during high dinner traffic hours. We started with grilled octopus and bruschetta, and although the food was delicious, the portions were as large as an entree. Definitely if you order an appetizer or salad make sure that you ask to split it. I had the special of the day which was fresh spinach fettuccine with scallops and tomatoes and my husband had the orrichette with lamb ragu. The portions were large and the food was fresh and good. We didn't have room for desert. The wine list is small and prices are marked up considerably. Service was excellent.I would recommend this to a friend.

- Great FindPolkimbaDined on 8/9/2014Flew into New York to visit my daughter and took her out to dinner, and she choose 83 1/2. Great food and service, a little tight quarters, but would go back again!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Amazing discoverJose9Dined on 8/4/2014My friend and I went to try this restaurant this Monday. We had the Lobster bisque and it was just amazing. As main course we had the milanese and the pappardelle. They both we outstanding. I was not my first time in an italian restaurant but I haven't tried such good food in a long while. A plus goes to the service, really attentive and nice. We will definitively be back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Solid neighborhood restaurantAlansThoughtsDined on 8/2/2014Reviews, in a way oversold this restaurant. Food was solid but not over the top and very limited wine list. Ambience/atmosphere isn't there which might explain why they don't have an extensive wine list.Special Features:

- Too Bad!OpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 7/25/201483.1/2 is a pleasant, small restaurant with very good food and service. Unfortunately, it can be unpleasantly noisy! We will not return.Special Features:
- Bespoke ItalianJoeConciergeDined on 7/23/2014Best described as a neighborhood gem. The pastas are delicious with sauces to rave over including the pesto which far from overpowering is most pleasant. We were dining with a vegetarian and this was a perfect option as there is a good choice of salads and veg based pasta entrees. Attractive price-point and inviting. If in the area do not be deterred by the construction on 2nd Ave as the restaurant is almost adjacent to 1st so with some planning easy access.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- IntriguingChuckkVIPDined on 7/22/2014We will be back. The chef has a creative menu here --especially pasta items. They graciously used the pasta I brought with me for medical reasons. My wife had their homemade orrechietti, which was outstanding. A reasonable wine list completes the experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Neighborhood GemNYCLoverDined on 7/12/2014What a fantastic experience! After a long day of walking throughout the city, we stopped at 83 1/2 for dinner. The meal was outstanding, the service was impeccable and the atmosphere was quiet and quaint. The restaurant is beautifully appointed. We really had a great time and the prices were excellent. My husband had the Orechiette with Broccoli Rabe and Pork Sausage special and he said it was one of the best pasta meals he has ever eaten. The food was steaming hot! My only request was that they offered something to drink that was not alcoholic or carbonated, i.e. iced tea. I don't drink alchohol nor do I drink soda, so I had to settle for water. Otherwise, outstanding. Would recommend it to anyone and will certainly go back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Lovely addition to the neighborhoodRooberDined on 7/7/2014Extremely pleasant food and service make this a welcome addition to Upper East Side dining. Food is fresh and made to order, portions are generous and service is smiling and cordial. Looking forward to a return visit!

- Terrific Restaurant in the UESRachelDined on 5/24/2014I've been at 83 1/2 for the first time last Saturday with my boyfriend and we both liked it very much! The food was amazing! We started by sharing a Cavolo Salad (very big portion, great taste, different from the usual salads) and Polipo (little spicy, fresh, very tasty). As main courses I tried the Pasta of the day, an Italian homemade Cavateli with salmon, cream and peas (the pasta was so fresh and the Burrata was very creamy) and my boyfriend had the Saltimbocca with truffled mashed potato (delicious, so tasty). As dessert we tried the chocolate mousse, such a big portion!! Overall, this place is terrific and the service was fast, helpful and kind. We will definitely come back!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

The food surprised us - original preparations, nice flavors, presented beautifully. My vegetarian tagliatelle was a little oily, but my boyfriend's bronzino was excellent. We had nutella creme brûlée for dessert which was good. The service was friendly, attentive and helpful. We would return.Special Features:
- The gem of the UES!!mel91Dined on 5/23/2014This place is a gem. I came to 83 ½ for the first time and I will definitively go back very soon. The food was just amazing; everything from the antipasti to the secondi is fresh and perfectly cooked. We had the caprese burrata, just superb, and the Pollo alla Milanese, the best I ever had. The service was also exceptional, the waiter Daniel was incredible, he was attentive and very helpful. This restaurant is a real gem of the upper east side!Special Features:

- Unique Dining ExperienceSirMunchAlotVIPDined on 5/17/201483 1/2 was a unique dining experience that I will not soon forget. The restaurant seating arrangement was nothing out of the ordinary, in fact it was rather dull, Except...the hightop Bar seating area. If you have a chance to sit there, you will be right next to the Chef and view inside the kitchen- you will actually watch as he prepares your meal in front of you. Chef David was exceptionally helpful in selecting our dishes and was very friendly and knowledgeable, as he has created all the dishes that are on the menu. The food was exceptional and so was the service. Yes, it is still worth going if you can't sit at the kitchen viewing seating area, especially if your feeling unfriendly. Just check it out and support this neighborhood gem.Special Features:

Parity has attempted to bully its way into Major League Baseball this season, with division races that are tight and wild-card races that are multiple teams deep.More than half of the teams are still within reach of a division title, and nearly two-thirds can sniff the second wild-card spot.Similarly, five of the six major awards were headed toward a tight finish, with the American League MVP the only one headed toward lock status. But then came news that Yankees rookie right-hander Masahiro Tanaka has a partial tear of the elbow ligament that leads to Tommy John surgery.Yikes. Even though the procedure wasn't recommended for at least six weeks, yikes.With Tanaka out until mid- to late August, the AL awards appear to be locked up. At least there could be some drama in the National League. But for the first half, most of the races are tough to call. AL MVP: Mike Trout, AngelsThe multi-talented outfielder, still not yet 23, is well on his way to ending Miguel Cabrera's two-year MVP reign and Trout's personal two-year reign as runner-up.Despite a slower-than-expected start, which at one time included being the league leader in strikeouts, Trout once again is doing things that no one else can and few before him have.Take, for instance, that he just became the seventh player since 1933 to have 20 homers, 20 double and five triples before the All-Star break. Lou Gehrig is in that group.Meanwhile, he leads the league in Wins Above Replacement, on-base-plus-slugging percentage and runs created, and is also first in scaring the bejeezus out of opposing managers and pitchers. AL Cy Young: Felix Hernandez, MarinersThe right-hander is having the type of season that should please those who live by traditional pitching stats and those who live by advanced metrics. (Remember, some hands were wringing in 2010 when he won with only 13 wins.)Traditional: a 2.12 ERA, 20 games started, 11 wins, five homers allowed in 144 1/3 innings.Advanced: a 177 ERA-plus, 2.02 Fielding Independent Pitching and 0.901 Walks/hits per inning pitched.Tanaka isn't far behind Hernandez in this first-half race, especially when considering park factors, but Hernandez is halfway home to the best season of his terrific career. AL Rookie of the Year: Masahiro Tanaka, YankeesThis is another close race, with White Sox first baseman Jose Abreu. Tanaka gets the nod because he appears to have no pitching weaknesses, with the possibility of home runs (18) and his elbow. He walked only 19 in 18 starts.Abreu's power has come as a surprise. Scouts thought he would hit for power, but not a league-leading 29 homers, including Saturday's, and a .631 slugging percentage in a first half that included a stint on the 15-day disabled list.But with Tanaka down, Abreu is now the clear-cut favorite for the year-end award. NL MVP: Troy Tulowitzki, RockiesYeah, yeah, he does all of his damage at Coors Field, where players such as Vinny Castilla and Dante Bichette have been transformed into hitting machines. Tulowitzki, though, has posted respectable road numbers and has played a terrific shortstop.That adds up to the top WAR value in the majors. Yes, higher than Trout.The Rockies, though, have gone down the drain, and there are MVP voters who believe MVPs should play for contenders. That's how Pirates center fielder Andrew McCutchen could pull off an MVP repeat or Brewers catcher Jonathon Lucroy and Dodgers right fielder Yasiel Puig could enter the picture at year end. NL Cy Young: Adam Wainwright, CardinalsThe only thing keeping Clayton Kershaw from this first-half honor is the month he spent on the disabled list at the start of the season. But it's not like Wainwright has been anything less than dominating himself.St. Louis' staff ace leads the league with a 1.79 ERA and has allowed only four homers. He's been durable, though he was skipped last month to cool down some elbow tendinitis.It will be tough for him to hold off Kershaw if he continues his current pace (11-2, 1.78 ERA). For the first half, though, Wainwright was the best pitcher in the league. NL Rookie of the Year: Billy Hamilton, RedsHere's a third award that could go another way at the end of the season, if Gregory Polanco continues to amaze in Pittsburgh.Hamilton, though, has been in Cincinnati's outfield since the season opener, using his speed to survive offensively when there was concern he would flop. He's not among the league leaders in hitting (.285 entering Thursday) or on-base percentage (.318), but, man, can he fly.Despite having wheels that have led to 37 steals, he had been caught a league-high 14 times.

A 1981 classic with William Hurt and Kathleen Turner. Once again I got the full DVD but it was in PAL so I had to convert it to .avi to be able to play it in my standalone player. This is for others who need the movie in NTSC and also like a smaller download. Front cover art included.
Been up for 18 months and not a single comment or thanks? Shameful! Thanks "srw567".
I watched this movie yesterday. It was excellent quality.
Thank you srw567 for the movie!
Thank you srw567 for the movie!
Thank you so much for uploading this. It is truly an outstanding film.
thanks for the rare upload. seed please !!
Going back and seeing movies from the era. Thank you for this one.

I've fallen into the habit of slightly extending my weekend carb-up period to include Sat and most of Sun and then fasting for 24 hours immediately following my Mon morning CKD breakfast (water and green tea only).
I then break the fast on Tues morning with my normal CKD breakfast meal. I've noticed that I get back into keto much faster using this method (even after a "dirty" carb-up including a beer or two on the weekend). My goals are, generally speaking, to stay lean & increase muscle mass. I've been on CKD for several months now and am pleased with my results.

Dancing Mushrooms...
I had a dream last night that my chickens turned to hawks and I was wearing a loincloth.
Amyda Nakornsrithammarajensis
I have two.
First one. I was on a field trip with my class, and then my teacher picked up the phone and they told us about a hypnotist who lived across the street and was terrorizing the school with cupcakes, and we needed to come back. We found some people cleaning up the cupcakes when we were there. Later, a boy approached a girl, thinking she was the terrorist, and then they raced back to class only to fall into a paper shredder. Then, they popped back up, unhurt, except they were completely different people.
Other one, which was last night:
I was in some castle with some other people, trying to invade it. I then went into this other dimension like one of those witch worlds in Madoka Magica, and became a magical girl and started shooting Pokemon. I had a close encounter with a Steelix, where it almost ate me, just like another magical girl. Then, I came back to the castle, and everyone I knew was there. My teacher was there, and she picked up some headphones and said, "This sounds amazing!" It was Aelita's disco song from Code Lyoko. Then a guy named Dave came up and listened to it, and it ended.
I've had some strange dreams in the past, but this one gets all the cake. Ahem...
So, my grandpa and I are out in the middle of the ocean, on rafts that are sort of like the ones in Pacifidlog Town. We're at some sort of movie shoot, acting in a new movie. Then, we get attacked by pirates. They zip around on their boats and everything blows up and there's chaos everywhere. I jump off one of the platforms, which are floating on the water, and I die.
But wait, there's more.
A screen with buttons pops up, which looks identical to the Minecraft screen you get when you die. However, it says "You have been promoted to Dolohov!" at the top. I click respawn (not sure how I did that...?), and suddenly I'm on a speed boat. Evidently, I'm now Dolohov. Standing beside me, firing off spells, is Bellatrix. She cackles, and I turn to see that she's firing said spells of doom at another speed boat. The target is Princess Peach, who is wielding a frying pan. Apparently it's some sort of oceanic speed boat battle between the two. Peach deflects one of the spells with her frying pan, like she does in Super Smash Bros Brawl, and the spell goes flying back towards us.
And then I wake up to my alarm.

I had a dream once where I was living in a turtle's shell, but the turtle was gigantic or anything, I was just a mini version of myself. All of my friends and family also lived inside the shells of various animals, with my big sister living inside a snail's shell, which is pretty awesome because I bet she hated it in there. >:3 I don't really remember much else about the dream though, it was years ago.
I dreamt of electric rodents that were also covered in ice. Earth's moon was covered in mice and they were plotting to kidnap all the people with a Rat Chinese Zodiac Sign.
I ran away from them as fast as I could, until I turned them into elves, dwarves, undead, trolls, humans, goblins and gryphons. And desert elves.
OBJECTION! ... To myself, for my inactivity...
Me and a bunch of people started hatching dinosaur eggs, I was apparently good at it :/
I had a dream that Selim Bradley, the Führer's son, was a homunculus!
Crazy, right?
I had a strange dream where I became a Twilight Vampire (Which I hate) and then I got killed by Buffy the Vampire Slayer... It was awesome...
Oh man, I have sooooo many weird dreams...
There was this one dream I had where Cilan was pregnant with FIVE Pokemon eggs. He gave birth to them, then they all hatched into Salamence and flew away.
I woke up from that at 4am all like "WTF".
I then proceeded to write down the entire dream because it was too funny and I didn't want to forget it

FOR REAL THIS TIME, THOUGH (above post was part of my April Fool's joke):
I had this dream where I was hanging out with this person who really loved drugs and they were offering me all these incredibly messed-up ones, both ones I'd heard of like cocaine and meth and ones I'd never heard of, and at the end I was like, "No, really! Just shrooms and LSD! I can't take any more than that!"

had a scary dream about nuclear warfare recently.. :( i haven't dreamed much in the last couple weeks.
i've had dreams about working, including a dream where we got SD PVRs (we don't carry those for over a year..) and dreams about weird customers and stuff, and dreams about being late for work (when i wake up and i'm on time always feels like i got a second chance)
i've had dreams about shopping (and being disappointed when i wake up and i don't actually have the stuff i bought...once i dreamed i found a bunch of vinyl records of anime songs... :<)
and my weirdest ever is probably the dream i had in grade 10 where my friend was an elevator salesperson XD
Well, I just woke up from probably the most demented dream I've ever had O-O . It involves ZeXal, creepypasta (The Russian Sleep Experiment), and a little Slendy vlog (TribeTwelve and MyDarkJournal) stuff. There are some random Mario names, but those don't really matter XD . I'll try to make this as quick as I can. I'm not even sure how well I can retell this, but here goes nada!
I'd watched a movie with Vincent Price playing an evil puppet, and shortly after learned my favorite cafe closing, and was upset about it. I exited the large center house the cafe was once in, and saw some joggers running by me. A guy from my class who stopped to talk with me and I found a tunnel, which was made of the fabric of the universe, and walked inside it. It was covered in a blue sky and white cloud pattern, but there were holes in it that had a starry night sky background. He wanted to go through the holes, but I was too afraid. Then, it was the time of WWII, at a large military compound in Germany near a forest. #96 from ZeXal was the leader of the Nazis, who seemed to be people he'd possessed. I was a blonde and stereotypically girly American woman with a typical outdated hair and clothing style XD . I was one of the Americans #96 captured to torture, and who was imprisoned in the compound. In the shadowy compound, he made me breath in some of the stimulant, very similar to that used in The Russian Sleep Experiment, so that I wouldn't die yet, even after being tortured and maimed excessively. Around this time, the song Pretty Toy by Velvet Acid Christ (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-JVkMmMO7w) was eerily echoing in the atmosphere. I stumbled out of the compound, much of my flesh torn off and my organs hanging out. Blood-splattered and dazed I saw the Nazis lined up around a helicopter. #96 laughed and muttered to me my instructions. I was to fly the helicopter across the forest as a symbol of another Nazi victory, and land it by the station of Lt. Luigi. I got into the copter, crying, and began to take off. I didn't know it, but I had the ability to give people back their free will, but when I wasn't trying to, it only worked on 1 person at a time. Before the copter took off, a soldier named Wario was freed. He was so disturbed by what he'd done, he tied one end of a rope around his neck, and the other to the copter. When #96 saw one of his soldiers hanging from the copter, he thought I'd done it to spite him, and started to pursue me. Panicked, I steered the helicopter over the thick forest and to where I saw Luigi standing outside a small station built into the base of a tree. #96 ordered him to shoot me with all his amo, but try not to kill me before my real punishment. Since Wario was dead, my powers freed Luigi's mind. He ran to help me and gave me some medicine. #96 was furious, so we started climbing the tree that the tower was built into. He climbed up after us easily. Once we'd gotten to the top, the tree doubled over with our weight. #96 was right behind us, so we let go, and like in some old cartoon the branch threw him into another tree XD . We spent hours in the woods running and hiding. The stimulant he'd given me to allow me to live through the torture had made me much faster and stronger than I once was. Luigi was very generous, daring, and fairly good looking, so I was glad to have his company in the forest. One time #96 spotted us, Luigi and I climbed over an electric fence into a pen of guard dogs, some of which were corgis for some reason. Luigi distracted him as I slipped over the fence and escaped. I ran as fast as I could, feeling as if he was still breathing down my neck, into a pretty little town of primarily small lavender bungalows, crammed in together with shady hedges. I raced down the lanes, as there weren't many spaces between the houses. The town was built like a maze, so I always ended up near the woods. There was an abandoned bungalow where a family who'd been killed once lived. Everything in it was bright blue. That was where I settled down for that time. I went into hiding in the town and stayed there for weeks, taking on multiple identities. One day I saw a hearse driving by, which contained Luigi's body. The song Blue by The Birthday Massacre (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-JVkMmMO7w) began to play as I descended farther into insanity. I had caused Luigi and Wario to die. I was constantly haunted by the fear #96 would find me, and my mind was warped from what I'd gone through. I also remembered my childhood, something that I had forgotten in the quiet madness of the compound. Astral had been my best and only friend as a child, and I'd lost him, too, and been stabbed in the back. I couldn't deal with the guilt, grief, betrayal, and trauma. I thought of killing others, and planned on killing myself. Well, that's the dream :\ .
I had a very odd dream a few nights ago that there was an "apocalyptic" hurricane where I live, this is unusual because we dont get Hurricanes where I live much and this was an especially bad one. So, me and my family went to this place that I guess was a shelter and my sister just suddenly had to go back to the house for something so she made me go along for some reason. Then she made me get out of the car and run to my house in the rain while she drove in her car -_- It was very strange.
tumblr(not spoiler free)
I had a dream today that my friend took drugs and grew a third eye above his two, and then I walked into my classroom and one of my teeth fell out.
Weird right?

Top euro policymakers at odds over Greek debt fix
- Order Reprints
- Text Size
By Jussi Rosendahl and Philip Blenkinsop | November 16, 2012 1:42 AM EST
The European Union's top economic official sought to rule out any write-off of Greece's debt to governments on Thursday after a European Central Bank policymaker said for the first time that a "haircut" on part of it was probable.
A row between euro zone governments and the International Monetary Fund over how to make Greece's giant debt mountain manageable is holding up the release of 31 billion euros (24.9 billion pounds) in emergency loans needed to keep Athens afloat.
IMF officials have argued privately that some writedown for euro zone governments is necessary to make Greece solvent but Germany, the biggest contributor to the bloc's bailout funds, has repeatedly rejected the idea of taking a loss on holdings of Greek debt, saying it would be illegal.
EU Economic and Monetary Affairs Commissioner Olli Rehn told reporters in Helsinki: "The solution will be a combination of various elements, one is not enough.
"But it is essential that the principal not be touched. There is a strict unanimity on this within the euro zone."
Rehn's comment contradicted ECB Governing Council member Luc Coene, who was quoted by a Belgian daily as saying that a partial writedown of Greek debt was likely to happen eventually.
De Standaard said Coene made the comments in a debate with students at Ghent University on Wednesday. He was also quoted as saying Spain should urgently seek a bailout.
Asked whether the Belgian central bank chief had been reflecting a growing view in the ECB that an official sector "haircut" on Greek debt was inevitable or speaking for himself, a senior ECB source said Coene had expressed his personal view.
Greece's total debt is forecast to rise to 190 percent of gross domestic product next year and seems highly unlikely to fall back to 120 percent of GDP by 2020, the level the IMF has said is the maximum sustainable in the long term.
Banks, insurers and other private investors holding about 206 billion euros of Greek bonds took a savage "haircut" on the nominal value of their securities earlier this year.
The euro zone's debt crisis began in Greece three years ago when a newly elected government disclosed that the country had knowingly understated its budget deficit.
Athens managed to sell nearly 1 billion euros in short-term bills on Thursday to complete raising the 5 billion euros it needs to pay off maturing paper on Friday and avoid default.
But the government desperately needs the next tranche of its international bailout loans to recapitalise its banks and pay civil servants and suppliers.
A senior euro zone source told Reuters on Wednesday that finance ministers of the 17-nation currency area would only attempt to close Greece's financing gap to 2014 when they meet again in Brussels next Tuesday, instead of finding a solution up to 2020 as sought by the IMF.
"We will concentrate on 2013 and 2014. The sum is about 13.5 billion euros ($17.2 billion)," said the source involved in negotiations, speaking on condition of anonymity.
That might postpone a longer-term solution to the Greek debt problem until after a September 2013 German general election, but it may not be acceptable to the IMF.
IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde clashed publicly with the chairman of euro zone finance ministers this week, saying the global lender differed with the Europeans on how to make Greece's debt sustainable.
She insisted on Wednesday that the IMF, which put up almost a third of the money lent to Greece in two bailouts, wanted a "real fix, not a quick fix" to the issue, suggesting she will take a dim view of a shorter-term solution.
An IMF spokesman accompanying Lagarde in Manila said she would cut short a visit to Asia to attend next Tuesday's crucial Eurogroup meeting in Brussels.
Senior euro zone officials will hold a preparatory conference call on Friday to try to narrow differences. Among ideas under consideration to plug the funding gap are further reducing the interest rate and extending the maturity of euro zone loans to Greece, a possible interest payment holiday and bringing forward loan tranches due at the end of the programme, euro zone sources said.
Under its standard procedures, the IMF cannot go on disbursing loans unless an adjustment programme is fully funded up to the end.
Euro zone ministers agreed on Monday to grant Greece an extra two years, until 2016 to meet its fiscal targets, which the international lenders said would cost an extra 32 billion euros.
The dispute has called into question whether the IMF will remain in the Greek programme.
But Rehn said: "The IMF has committed to support Greece according to the programme, which was agreed together with the euro zone. There is no reason to suspect that the IMF would not cooperate also in the next stage of Greece's financing programme.
"We know that many member countries view IMF participation, also financing, as a prerequisite for euro zone supporting Greece with these loan programmes," the EU official said.
"Because of this, it is not possible, even in principle, that the euro zone would act without the IMF." ($1 = 0.7856 euros)

Except for that, it works as advertised, thanks a lot!
Thanks for the review Fabiojordan. Hopefully you figure this out, but you can fix the plugin problem with a subtemplate. Simply removing the plugin event triggers from the subtemplate will prevent any plugins from working in the module. This can be done for both K2 and Joomla plugin event triggers.
Thanks again for the review!

This is one of my favorite homemade ice creams. It is super easy and tasty. I have had this several times since I was a young boy but have never made it myself. The Eagle Brands website calls for 20 oz Orange Soda rather than 2 Liters. I am pretty sure we used a 2 qt Ice cream churn and most likely did not put the whole 2 liters in the recipe. Also they call for 2 teaspoons of Orange Extract. You can also make this with other flavors.

The Community Festival Statement of Principles
We think that people ought to work for the collective good of all people rather than for personal gain. We support cooperation and collective activity rather than competition and individual profit.
The basic necessities of life are a right and not a privilege. People have the collective right to control the conditions of their lives.
People should strive to conduct their lives in harmony with the environment.
We recognize that there are primary attitudes which divide and oppress people. These attitudes are usually shown by prejudice against people on the basis of age, class, ability, income, race, sex and sexual preference/orientation. We seek to eliminate these attitudes.
The Statement of Principles is more important than any other writings of the Community Festival.

Leadership of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee has introduced bipartisan legislation aimed at reforming the beleaguered Federal Protective Service (FPS), which is responsible for the security of roughly 9,000 federal sites nationwide.
The bill calls for FPS's full-time staff to grow by 500 by 2014, and not fall below its current level of 1,200. The bill would further require 80 hours' training for each of the agency's roughly 15,000 contract guards, 16 hours of annual training after that, plus establishment of an evaluation program for the agency and its guards, including overt and covert testing.
Notably, the bill requires designation of three federal sites for deployment of full-body scanners, now referred to by the federal government as "advanced imaging technology." The bill would prohibit FPS from saving any images captured with the controversial scanning devices, as happened with machines used by the U.S. Marshal Service.
A committee aide told Security Management that the full-body scanner requirement is a response to the vulnerabilities exposed by U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) investigators last summer, who passed through FPS checkpoints with bomb components and then assembled the devices in restrooms (.pdf).

A separate reform bill was introduced last week by Democrats on the House Homeland Security Committee. Doubts persist over whether the separate bills can be passed and reconciled before the end of the current Congress this year.

About The Owner
Pete and Maggie Jung have been canoeing and vacationing in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness since they were in college in 1972. At first it was just the two of us, then our two sons, and now daughter-in-law and 2 grandchildren. When we first purchased the property in 1998, Maggie took care of Loon's Echo Wilderness Retreat in the summers. During the year she taught high school in science in Illinois until 2010 when she retired. Pete continues to work for Morgan Stanley doing investments for his clients. In 2010, they built thier dream log home on the property and continue to enjoy sharing Wildloon and Mallard with their guests.
The Owner purchased this cabin in 1998
Why The Owner chose Ely
We first visited Loon's Echo wilderness retreat in 1998 when both of our boys were in college. It was an empty nest fall trip (in response to an ad in the Chicago Tribune), that has turned into an adventure of a lifetime. We found this piece of wilderness that reminded us of the Boundary Waters Wilderness. It is like having a cabin on your capsite in the wilderness. Since Maggie retired in 2010, the Jungs built 'Sunset Ridge' where they stay while they rent out Wildloon and Mallard to others. Come enjoy the quiet of the wilderness from the comfort of our log cabin.
What makes this cabin unique
This cabin was originally part of a resort on Moose Lake north of Ely. It was moved to this beutiful pine forest overlooking the Vermilion River in 1993. The cabin was rebuilt then remodeled in 1999 to include the full kitchen and bath. We love this small cabin...it is a great place to sit on the screen-in back porch and read, watch the hummingbirds, or work a puzzle. Fish, Canoe, or hike. This is a true wilderness experience with all the comforts of home.

State officials have issued a health alert for two lakes in southeast Nebraska.
The two lakes are Rockford Lake, which is southeast of Beatrice in Gage County, and Swan Creek Lake No. 5, which is near Tobias in Saline County.
Officials say water samples showed high levels of a toxin released by blue-green algae. The levels exceeded the state's threshold. Some types of toxic blue-green algae can produce dangerous toxins.
People can still camp, fish and boat on lakes under an alert, but they should not have full-body contact with the water. Drinking toxin-tainted water can cause vomiting, diarrhea, respiratory failure and in rare cases, death.

Soler helps vault Cubs to 4-2 win over Brewers in Wrigley debutMark Gonzales, Chicago Tribune
CHICAGO -- Inspired by a pre-game visit from United States Little League champion Jackie Robinson West, the Cubs beat National League Central co-leader Milwaukee, 4-2, despite the absence of Anthony Rizzo, who didn't start for the seventh consecutive game because of lower back stiffness. Rizzo will undergo an MRI if the discomfort doesn't subside.
At the plate: Rookie sensation Jorge Soler hit an opposite field double to right field in his first at-bat at Wrigley Field and scored on a broken bat single by Welington Castillo, who hit a two-run home run in the fourth.
On the mound: Jacob Turner, making his second start with the Cubs, pitched 6 1/3 shutout innings before Khris Davis hit a home run, and Gerardo Parra followed by hitting Blake Parker's first pitch for a home run.
In the field: Third baseman Luis Valbuena made an exceptional stop to start a double play in the first.
The number: 15 -- scoreless innings by Turner against the Brewers this season.
The quote: Cubs' Rick Renteria on playing playoff contenders: "You're getting your eyes on the club and see how they're performing. What is it they're doing? It would be foolish for anyone to face clubs who are doing well and not take a step back and understand what's making them tick and click. I don't know if players do that in that detail because they're concentrating on playing baseball, but maybe there are things we see that we can share with them."
Up next: Brewers (Gallardo 8-7, 3.26) vs. Cubs (Arrieta 7-5, 2.88), 7:05 p.m., Tuesday.

Not all vegetarians are happy to kiss meat goodbye.
"Sometimes I miss meat," says Dan Landes, owner of Denver's latest vegetarian eatery, Watercourse Foods. "I love good food, and I love for it to have flavor. So even though I've been a vegetarian for the last four years, I can say that I've had days when I really craved some meat. It's really hard to get good vegetarian food, because it's not always easy to understand how natural flavors work. It's not like you can just throw in some fat to bring it all home, like with a sauce. There's no fat to cover up bad produce or ingredients in vegetarian cooking, either."
Landes knows all about fat. A native Denverite, he started out working in greasy spoons across the city before moving to New York to attend the Natural Gourmet Cooking School, sort of the Culinary Institute of America for the herbivore set. "I learned so much there," Landes says. "I went there and came back with the intention of opening my own vegetarian place." Which he did this past January, calling it Watercourse because "it gives an image of flowing, of naturalness. Our motto is, 'Eat the path of least resistance.'"
After several visits there--a few on my own dime--I can attest to the fact that Watercourse's many charms are hard to resist. First there's the easygoing attitude of the friendly, helpful staff. Then there's the casual setup, whereby customers order their food at the front counter and then head to a table holding a card whose number tells a server where to put the food. (This arrangement works very well except at peak dining times, when Watercourse gets so hectic that I once almost left without paying; I only caught the gaffe because I always double-check that I have a receipt.) There's the 10 percent discount at all times for diners who bike to the restaurant. And there's the plethora of reading materials that make solo diners feel very welcome.

And then, of course, there's the food, a collection of breakfast and lunch favorites. Landes says all of the dishes are made entirely from scratch, and I believe him. They contain so much flavor and show so much flair that they render meat moot.
I didn't even miss the bacon that wasn't in my blue-plate special ($2.50), so hefty were the portions of scrambled eggs (they say two, I say bull), herb-crusty home fries and thick-sliced wheat toast. The eggs were the real marvel, a soft scramble with especially tasty parts that had been grilled light brown; the chunky potatoes were an ideal mix of crisp edges and yielding centers. Even without meat, the price was amazingly small for the huge amount of food--too much to finish, although I desperately wanted to.
How Landes made the gravy on the biscuits ($4.50) so delicious is a secret between him and his vegetable stock. Lots of pepper helped, but there was an underlying plump flavor that could only have come from some intense reduction of the base and a well-made roux. The biscuits were of the optimal consistency to pair with this concoction; their light, fluffy texture--the description is cliched, I know, but in this case it's absolutely accurate--would have turned to glue in a meaty minute when soaked with a different kind of gravy.
Another fine breakfast item was the Pepe ($5.50), one of Watercourse's several scramble offerings featuring a variety of ingredients. The Pepe included roasted green chiles, tomatoes, caramelized onions--an ingredient Landes uses often, with excellent results--and smoked gouda, all of which gave the eggs a chile-relleno-like quality that was enhanced by a side of lardless, very clean-tasting refried beans and an intensely smoky chipotle red chile. Watercourse makes several other mean, meat-free Mexican items, including the massive Juan wrap ($5.95), a whole-wheat tortilla packed to the edges with grilled mushrooms and onions, sweet potatoes, smoked gouda and a stirring cilantro-pistachio pesto. The grilling brought out the mushrooms while the potatoes added sweetness, and the pesto's nutty punch pulled it all together. Watercourse's other wrap, the Jimmy ($5.95), owes its inspiration to Greece. A moist roasted-red-pepper hummus cemented a tart mixture of red leaf lettuce, kalamatas, red onions, tomatoes, cucumbers and feta into a bundle with lots of crunch--and lots to munch.
Nothing else we ate at Watercourse, however, was as substantial as the buckwheat pancakes ($2.75 for a short stack). I'd hate to see the fat stack, because the short one consisted of two damp, hot 'cakes that were each half an inch thick and hung over the side of the plate. We poured on the syrup and made it about halfway through, then took the rest home. The pancakes had been so well-mixed--meaning they weren't too dry--that they held up through a nuking the next morning and still tasted fantastic.
Watercourse doesn't skimp on the sandwiches and their sides, either. The filling eggplant parmesan ($5.95), a well-melded pile of breaded, fried eggplant drenched with a sweet marinara and topped with melted mozzarella (it could have used a tad more cheese), came with half a bag of salty corn tortilla chips (they could have used a blob of salsa or something) and raisin-dotted couscous. The same sides accompanied the vegetarian Reuben ($6.25), in which a grilled portabello subbed for corned beef on the marbled rye and was topped with plenty of freshly made sauerkraut, Swiss and a tangy sauce.

After eating sushi on their first date, one young couple realized that their town lacked a postdinner hangout spot for all crowds. Though the couple didn't let this spoil their evening—they married later that year—it did instill them with the entrepreneurial spirit, leading them to found Sweet Tree Yogurt. The family-friendly eatery fans the flames of dessert cravings with more than 30 self-serve yogurt flavors packed with live and active probiotics and more than 50 candy and fruit toppings. Customers fill cups or upside-down witch hats with the yogurt of their choice, from low-fat varieties such as vanilla and cookies 'n' cream to sugar-free or fat-free treats including chocolate and cheesecake. They next crown their cups at the expansive toppings bar, which teems with almonds, candy bars, fresh fruit, and syrups. Finally, completed desserts rest on a scale at the weigh station to determine the amount of moola due and whether each cup will fight in the welterweight or featherweight division.
Armed with just a single, generations-old cookie recipe, Great American Cookies opened its first store in 1977, and the rest is history. Today, the franchise boasts locations in malls across the country and nabbed a coveted spot on Entrepreneur magazine's 2012 list of Top 500 Franchises in the baked-goods category. The shop's reputation grew, and so did its menu as chefs churned out a mouthwatering roster of gourmet-cookie recipes, each created and carefully tested in Atlanta. The tempting options now include snickerdoodle, peanut butter with M&M's, and chewy pecan supreme, as well as freshly baked fudge and cheesecake brownies and cookie sandwiches stuffed with frosting. The real showstoppers, however, are the giant chocolate-chip cookie cakes, which can be customized with sweet, celebratory messages or shopping lists penned in colorful icing.
Beagle Bagel Cafe turns farm-fresh ingredients into a bevy of confectionary treats and scrumptious café fare. Refreshingly cool smears of cream cheese in flavors such as garlic and herb, lotta lox, and cinnamon swirl alight upon more than 20 types of bagels, including blueberry blitz and sun-dried tomato. Early risers can catapult themselves mouth-first into a new day with gourmet coffee ($1.25–$1.65) partnered with breakfast-menu scarfables such as bagel sandwiches ($1.99–$3.95) and wraps stuffed with eggs, cheese, and a choice of meat ($6.80). Hot paninis ($7.50) and deli-meat bagel sandwiches ($5.65+) from the lunch and dinner menu pacify postbreakfast hunger pangs. A rotating assortment of cupcakes silences the griping of whiny sweet teeth, providing nearby molars with the silence they need to study for the GRE.
Unlike jerk-chicken pudding or fried-tuna Twinkies, ice cream makes for a delectable dessert that properly caps off any meal. At Maggie Moo's Ice Cream and Treatery, patrons can sample a huge menu of ice cream and other treats that are sure to slap a smile on any face and massage taste buds with sugary strokes. Try ice cream in flavor combinations such as Strawberry Skateboard with sprinkles, gummy bears, and marshmallows, or Cotton Candy Ski Jump with M&Ms and mini-marshmallows. Prices range from $4.14 to $5.89 for a cup or cone. Dream cakes ($20.95+), on the other hand, come in appropriately oneiric flavors such as Maggie's S'mores and Chocolate Heaven, and are available in 6-inch, 8-inch, and sheet-cake sizes. Health-conscious hedonists can indulge in strawberry-banana, creamy mango, and mocha coffee smoothies (starting at $4.05). Straw-equipped sweet teeth interested in more luscious liquids can slurp a milkshake or malt (starting at $4.49) in flavors like Caramel Cowpuccino and Peanut Butter S'Moo.
With treats both health- and fun-conscious, Millie D's Frozen Yogurt houses self-serve sorbets and baked confections for all comers. The eponymous frozen yogurt comes in flavors such as triple chocolate, espresso, and birthday cake, and can double as a delicious and extremely temporary caulk for brownie drywall ($0.47/oz.). Spongy satiation can be found in cupcakes locally sourced from Sugaree's Bakery's vast cake fields ($2.25 each or $23.75 per dozen), while more circular cravings are indulged with a yogurt pie ($14.95). Low-fat, nonfat, lactose-free, and sugar-free delicacies cater to those who wish to restrict their diet but not their sense of youthful glee and eventual wistfulness when the yogurt's gone.
At three local donut shops, bakers frost fresh batches of long johns, cake donuts, and sundry other sweets every morning, augmenting sugary starts with savory breakfast croissants and biscuits. Pastries such as glazed donuts ($0.59), éclairs ($0.80), and bear claws ($1) take a swipe at hunger, and cinnamon rolls ($1.15) unravel into sweet, flaky layers. Customers can ponder the perplexing solidity of donut holes ($0.12 each; $1.25/dozen) while waiting for a steamy croissant sandwich packed with ham and cheese ($3.25). While prepping hot kolaches or pigs in a blanket ($1 small; $2 large), bakers tuck hot dogs into a pillowy dough blanket before telling them "I love you" one final time.

Huskamutes are a relatively new type of snow dogs that are now becoming more popular in the UK.
Huskamutes, are originally created from the crossing of an Alaskan Malamute with a Siberian Husky, to make a very good working dog, this combination of the Malamutes strength & stamina together with the Siberian Huskies speed & agility, makes them a great scooter or rig dog.

Huskamutes are still NOT a registered 'pure-breed' & as such CAN'T be Kennel Club registered.
Recognition is decided by a small group of people, many of whom describe Huskamutes in a derogatory way, often calling them 'mongrels'.

Huskamutes need at least a hour an a half of exercise a day as they are working dogs after all & need to burn off some of that energy.
