Perth Education City and the City of Perth will be hosting the first Perth International Student Welcome.
The event will be held on Saturday 12 March at the Northbridge Piazza and is to celebrate the contribution of international students to the cultural diversity of Perth.
The event will be held in 2 parts:
Part photo hunt and part scavenger hunt, teams of two must solve clues to find checkpoints throughout the city and collect stamps on their 'city passport'. This will be a fun way for new students to learn more about the city - its history, people and quirky spots. Ten prizes are on offer, including an overnight in Rottnest and a helicopter ride. Students can register online via the PEC website.
This official welcome is a great opportunity for new students to be acknowledged by the City, through the Lord Mayor, enjoy an afternoon of fun and entertainment by local musicians, dancers and performers and receive information on Perth's attractions and lifestyle from Surf Life Saving WA, The Fremantle Dockers and WA Police.
Volunteers from PEC, CISWA, KWAFON and student bodies will assist on the day.
The aim is to create a fun, relaxed, carnival type event.
If you have any questions regarding the above, please contact:
Sophie Waddell
Market Manager

I am so hesitant to get excited about this pregnancy because I miscarried in June. I find myself expecting to see blood everytime I go to the restroom (Sorry if it's TMI!). I haven't even made my first appointment yet-is anyone else feeling like this?
You are not alone! I hated going to the bathroom at all the first few weeks bc I was always scared there would be blood. Thankfully there never was! I had my first ultrasound 3 weeks ago and seeing the heartbeat definitely helped me relax. I still get anxious occassionally, but it decreases every day. Hang in there!!!
Sorry about your miscarriage, but I felt the same way. I had a miscarriage in August and found out I was prego again in Dec. When I first found out I was not excited one bit. I was more worried because having a miscarriage is a life changing and emotional event. I didn't want to get to excited and then be disapponted again. I am just now coming around to be an excited pregnant woman because I went to the Dr. yesterday for a sinus infection and she wanted to check on my babies heartbeat and we saw my baby!! Growing and heartbeating much more faster than the first prenatal visit.
My BF was upset with me b/c he felt as if I didn't want to be pregnant but, it wasn't that, it was the fact of me being let down again....but now I can relax and be worry free because what I saw yesterday was a confirmation that everything is ok....better than before.
I hope this makes you feel a little better....

Two landmarks of the golden age of Broadway musicals are currently on stage in the region. One is probably the most perfectly constructed and unerringly tuneful musical comedy ever. The other is a cheeky homage to probably the most beloved, heart-warming (insert your own adjective) musical ever.
I'm not really a fan of the latter, The Sound of Music, but I'm a sucker for Guys and Dolls, which is now playing at Barrington Stage. This "musical fable of Broadway" is peopled with colorful criminals (who speak in Damon Runyon's whimsical gangsterese), sassy showgirls and dogged do-gooders. The clockwork plot—the Swerling/Burrows book is as witty and tight as Frank Loesser's score—turns on a pair of bets and takes us from Times Square street corners to a glitzy burlesque house, a Salvation Army mission and a Havana that was still, in the '50s, the norteamericanos' playground.
With many classics, especially one like this, which occupies its own unique universe, it's hard to do a new production that's not a reproduction, perhaps with some original flourishes. Barrington's approach is to say, essentially, "So what?"
John Rando's staging and Joshua Bergasse's choreography observe all the show's Technicolor conventions. So does the 27-member cast (that number is perhaps the most adventurous thing about the show in this era of tight budgets). It stars Matthew Risch as darkly handsome gambler Sky Masterson, Michael Thomas Holmes as twitchy crap-game impresario Nathan Detroit, Morgan James as pretty, prim missionary Sarah Brown, and Leslie Kritzer as blonde adenoidal Adelaide. Of that quartet, I most enjoyed the two women, who found unexpected subtleties in their respective roles.
There are, indeed, some original flourishes—a positively acrobatic "Crapshooters' Dance" is one—but this revival's unabashed purpose is not to plough new ground. As artistic director Julie Boyd put it in her opening night speech, "Every once in a while you do a show just for fun." In that ambition it succeeds, in the words of one of the Broadway grifters, "nicely, nicely."
So does Fraulein Maria, now at Hartford Stage. The Sound of Music is one of those musical icons that, love it or hate it, is now part of our DNA (go ahead, don't start singing "Do, Re, Mi" in your head, I dare you). Fraulein Maria is surely the most unusual show you or I will see this summer. A self-described "edgy and fun cabaret romp," it's a dance concert set to the 1965 Julie Andrews movie soundtrack.
You'd expect either an oh-so-cute pastiche of the Rodgers and Hammerstein classic or an SNL-style send-up, but it's neither. Barbara Karger and Michael Preston's staging of Doug Elkins' eclectic choreography is witty and irreverent, having fun with the material without making fun of it. There are three Marias—one of them a black male—a tall, tuxedoed master of ceremonies who reappears in various guises, including Gretl, the littlest von Trapp, some cleverly executed group numbers that wink at several modern dance styles, and "Climb Every Mountain" performed as a break-dance routine.
It's weird, audacious, as unashamed of deconstructing a classic as Barrington Stage is of reconstructing one, and just as much fun.
Fraulein Maria: Through June 26, Hartford Stage, 50 Church Street, Hartford. (860) 527-5151, hartfordstage.org.
Guys and Dolls: Through July 16, Barrington Stage Company, 30 Union St., Pittsfield. (413) 236-8888, barringtonstageco.org.

I always wondered if it's bad (it seems so) for you to take a nap after you ate...
Is it samething as sleeping for 8 hours?
Nap = 30 mins - 2 hours.
Will your body store a lot of the food as fat?

That's different, are you sure it's a cutting board not a serving tray or something else?
My mother gave me this cooking board. She had no idea, I have no idea..nobody I talk to about it has any idea just what it's supposed to be used for. It has Riverside stamped on the back of it. Please help solve this mystery..LOL Thanks to anyone who can help figuring this out.
That's different, are you sure it's a cutting board not a serving tray or something else?
Dont know but could it be for tenderizing. Use a flat wood mallet with the meat laying on top of the spikes. Just a guess.
What you have is a carving board. The pyramids hold the meat up out of the juices and allow the juices to flow out to the perimeter groove. The pyramids also allow your knife edge to go through the meat and not carve on a large area of wood which might create splinters and gouges. This appears to be made from maple and may be from the 60's or 70's.
Maybe for holding a roast in place while it is being sliced or carved.
Looks like there's a moat around the sides to catch the juices from the meat.
I'm a Supreme Fan of Bentley Green & Aaron McCargo Jr.!!
looks like a ....its a board to make flat bread with uneven texture, use dough on it and spread it evenly with roller , one side will be smooth and the other checked and uneven, toppings added and micro oven it...LOL

Selling it privately or selling it to the dealer each have their own advantages
and disadvantages,
which we outline below:
Selling your car privately
Selling your car to the dealer
Just as you save money if you paint your own house or do your own home repairs and
maintenance, you will probably get a higher price for your trade-in if you sell
it privately.
On the other hand, do you want the hassle? Do you have the time?
The decision is yours to make.
Valuing your trade-in
To assist you in obtaining an approximate value for your trade-in, Discount New
Cars has subscribed to the motor industry's leading guide to car values - the Red
Book Guide. These values are updated monthly by Red Book, according to industry
Please note that our Red Book Guide values are exactly those supplied to car dealers,
not an adjusted version. Thus, these are the values car dealers use as a guide.
Currently, Discount New Cars only provides trade-in valuations for cars less than
10 years old
It is only a guide however - the condition and mileage of your vehicle plus local
market conditions at the time you trade, will determine the final value.
It is nearly always worth giving your new car supplying dealer an opportunity to
purchase your trade-in. He is interested in supplying you with your new car so he
will be motivated to give you a good price.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'RayGator's Swamp Gas' started by mizzouwaltz, Oct 14, 2013.
Hey, guys. Come on over to Tigerboard for a visit and let's talk football.
we'll bore you guys to death.
Hey, he didn't say play football.
No thanks, we'd rather stay over here not post all year until we lose and then see how many different threads we can start to bitch about our offense. Thanks for the offer though
Finally, a place on the Internet to discuss football. All these years I've waited.
What's to discuss???? The high powered offense or the under-achieving defense?????
By the way, waltz, we're not always sarcastic aholes. Losses hit pretty tough around here. Most of us would welcome you to stick around for the week and get involved in several discussions here. Sorry your QB is down. I'd have to think it will be different game without him.
***** thread of the week *****
Ok, I tried to go over there and lurk for a bit. That board is not user friendly. Lol Not to me anyway. Navigating wasn't the easiest.
You have to click on every response to read it..what is that about?...or am I missing a setting?
Holy crap I was gonna register over there but they are still running software created when they invented the internet. How does anyone reply to anyone over there and actually SEE it?
Its like when your friend with the 27 inch tube TV invites you over. Nah man you come over HERE.
Hey Gator fans, don't go to Tigerboard it's as outdated as mullet haircut and just as outrageous. Power-mizzou is the better forum but it is a pay forum. I think ya'll can do a 7 day free trial though. I have been checking out this forum last few days, man ya'll are as down as we were last year. I will have to say though your fans last year at the Gators/Mizzou game were very friendly and had a great time until we lost. Talk to ya'll later.
Powermizzou sucks.
Neat, a Mizzy vs Mizzy rumble.
For all the people who are Facebook friends with Dalvin Cook, check out what Missouri has done over the last few years in recruiting, according to Rivals:
2009: #40 class in the country; they signed one four-star prospect
2010: #21 class in the country; they signed seven four-star prospects
2011: #48 class in the country; they signed one four-star prospect
2012: #31 class in the country; they signed a five-star prospect, and one four-star
2013: #41 class in the country; they signed one four-star prospect
And we all know the cool thing to say right now, if you want to sound like you know what you're talking about, is that "The road to the SEC championship game goes through Columbia, Mo." The talking heads are boldly declaring it. Mizzou iz tha next big thing.
A team that regularly finishes almost last in the SEC recruiting-wise just wiped Georgia up and down their own field. With a high-powered offense, and with defensive speed across the line of scrimmage that Georgia's four and five-star recruits obviously looked gassed trying to block. They have high-flying, 6'5 receivers that seem to catch the ball no matter where it's thrown. And they're hitting ridiculous trick plays for touchdowns that shouldn't work; and certainly wouldn't work for us if we practiced them all week.
So, they're going to bring their nobodies into a game against all of our talent, speed and athleticism. You know it's going to come down to the final fifteen minutes. You know it's going to take an interception late for them to Diiiiiieeeeeeeeee.
Better than the craptacular crap-a-thon we got going on these days ... $10 on mizzy waltz ...
Hmmm No thanks, not will brilliant posts like this.
Please show me 90% of gator fans who feel this way. Please.
...and yes. That board is unreadable. That site is older than the internet.
Is there a way to read that board in a threaded format?

From Russell Brand to John Mayer, do you ever wonder what goes through Katy Perry's mind when she decides who to date? It is no secret that most girls like "bad boys" but what about these men attracts Katy to them?
Brand and Perry were married for only 14 months before they decided to get divorced. In an interview with Australia's 60 minutes, Brand said, "Sometimes it goes well, sometimes it don't." "But if you sort of sense there's an incompatibility, then in any relationship regardless of the status of the individual, it kind of is best to go separate ways."
Perry first began dating Mayer back in June and they took a break in August before getting back together. "For the first time in my life I don't feel like I'm in a celebrity relationship," Mayer told CBS Sunday Morning. "It's hard to explain … For me it feels like something that's very human."
With the reputation Brand has, even he has something to say about Katy now dating John Mayer. In an interview on Howard Stern's Sirius XM radio show, Stern asked Brand, "Doesn't she know that he's a worse womanizer than you?"
"You have to let go of the instinct to protect someone once you divorce them," said Brand.
Do you think that wedding bells are in Katy and John's future, or do you think it will end in heartbreak? Is John the bad boy type that Katy's attracted to, or is he a changed man thanks to her?

In Case You Haven't Heard, November 5
At a Rescue Squad dinner, held in October at the Spring House after a very busy summer season, a number of special thank yous to people throughout the community were expressed in a heartfelt speech by Lisa Sprague. Highlighted for special dedication to rescue efforts were outgoing squad captain Kate McConville, who will soon relocate to Naples, Florida; New England Airline owners Lois and Bill Bendokas; and Medical Center Nursing Director Linda Closter. Each was given a handsome plaque with an individualized message outlining the reason for the recognition. The Bendokases' plaque may be viewed at the New England Airline counter at the airport.
Other people and entities thanked for their efforts at the occasion were the Town Manager and the Town Council, the Police Department, the Fire Department, New England Airlines staff, Lifestar, the Westerly Ambulance Corps, Interstate Navigation with special mention of Cindy Littlefield, the U.S. Coast Guard, the Medical Center staff, Cortney and his Verizon truck and the Harbors Department.
Congratulations to all for jobs very well done, and a huge thank you from everyone in this community!
Very special congratulations to Bobbie and Kip Reynolds, who celebrated their Golden Wedding Anniversary (that's the 50th!) this year. The actual anniversary was September 15, but Bobbie and Kip didn't bother to mention the 50-year milestone to their children. When offspring Troy, Susan (Dwyer), and Carl found out, they quickly joined forces to throw a gala, multigenerational celebration for their parents at the Harbourside Restaurant in East Greenwich on October 15. A good time was had by all!
Congratulations to upcoming anniversary-celebrating couples Anne and Monroe Dickinson, November 16; and Barbara and Allen Hall, November 18.
About town
Your columnist connected by chance, in early October, with Emmy-award winning NBC journalist Mike Taibbi, who anchored just off the Block Island Boat Basin dock, stopped at the marina store, and bought a Block Island polo shirt while waiting to be picked up by his buddy, Malcolm Greenaway. The two had planned to watch the Giants game on TV, but it was blacked out in favor of a Patriots game. "We hung out instead, had cheese and crackers and went to Winfield's for dinner," volunteered Greenaway, adding that it was Taibbi's third visit here this year. "The first time he had supper with us and the second time we went sailing on his boat."
Greenaway met Taibbi a few years ago, after the journalist had e-mailed Greenaway about some photos and followed up with a story he had written about his dog, who used to sail out here with him but passed away five years ago.
Taibbi had just returned from Libya around October 1 this year, arriving in the states that morning and sailing to Block Island the following day.
While in the Boat Basin store, he mentioned that he had just accepted a West Coast assignment with NBC that includes coverage of the Far East, and would soon relocate to California with his sailboat.
Taibbi is a graduate of Rutgers University, and graduated a year after Nancy Greenaway. The Greenaways discovered that Taibbi had lived on the same street they had for a time, but they never met during their Rutgers years.
All creatures
When Shellfish Commission members adjourned to lunch at Mabel's on a recent Friday after seeding the Great Salt Pond and environs, Ardys Filippone displayed a photo on her cell phone of a teeny, tiny scallop resting on the palm of her hand, prior to finding a home in island waters. Sweet!
Dear deer hunters, please do, as a courtesy, make yourself known to neighbors if you have been given permission to hunt on someone's property. Neighbors appreciate knowing who is hunting, and when, in their vicinity, particularly if they have school age children or simply enjoy recreational strolls of their own.
Block Island everywhere
We learned this year, after enjoying chance summer time encounters for many years with Corn Neck Road residents Bob and Mora Bissonett, that the two play in a band called the Missouri City Pops the rest of the year in their other life down in Houston, Texas. Mora plays clarinet and Bob does "Percussion but not drums," he said. "They won't let me near the drums. She is much better than I am," he added of his wife, with modest gallantry.
"Don't believe it for a moment!" she replied.
The two were looking forward to getting back to rehearsals for the Pops busy upcoming performance schedule. The band has several youtube videos — check them out!
We also learned that Bob, who has been coming to Block Island all his life, is a nephew of Eleanor Garrett.
Of cakes and candles
"It's my birthday today!" announced Jock Sisto, as he arrived inside the post office on October 26 to collect his family's mail. "How old?" we asked. "Fifty-four!" he replied.
Happy birthdays to a number of other people: Steve McQueeny, October 25; Kip Reynolds, Joan Ballard and Gail Pierce, October 27; Bobby Rose, October 28; Peter Mott, Christina Papa and Kenn Fischburg on Halloween, October 31; Frank Magennis on All Saints Day, November 1; Marc Scortino and Dan Barker, November 3; Larry Rose, November 4; Campbell Coviello, November 10; Muriel Nelson and James McNerney on Veterans Day, November 11; Seth Draper and Ed McGovern, November 12; Wendy Ernst and Peter Wood, November 13; roses to Arthur Rose, who will be 90 on November 16 this year, and happy birthdays to Karen Martin and Barbara Hirsch on the same day; Suzanne King Wagner, November 17.
Let us know what's happening! Visiting relatives, special occasions, updates on friends near and far, projects… Deadline is Tuesday morning, and Fran can be reached at 466-2892 or email@example.com

I swear I'm going to run this every year until someone admits it's funny
I added in an entry for President Obama and edited some stuff that seemed excessively dumb in retrospect (obviously that's really saying something). Otherwise, this is the same shit I've run the last two President's Days. Get used to it!
You know, we don't do enough to celebrate President's Day in the DC/Marvelogosphere, which is a terrible shame. So we asked our crack research team, who we guarantee know more about history than you, to rectify this situation. What they came up with is a list of which president best corresponds to which corporate intellectual property. Hope you enjoy!
-Abraham Lincoln: Known as the father of our country, old Honest Abe only needed one nickname: the Rail Splitter. Now we've never been much for physical labor. I mean, occasionally our stepfather would force us to pick weeds on a Saturday afternoon, even though we told him that we were allergic to dirt. God, I HATE HIM SO MUCH....Anyway, we speculate that rail-splitting might have been something like swinging a hammer. So the obvious answer here is THOR.
-George Washington: Known as the father of our country, old Honest George was known for chopping down cherry trees just to prove how honest he is. Well, no superhero says "chop" quite like KARATE KID.
-Andrew Jackson: Waged war on the Indians, killed a man in a duel...sounds like JONAH HEX to us. Plus they kind of looked similar.
-Andrew Hamilton: This president is best known for appearing on a ten dollar bill, being secretary of the treasury, calling for the expansion of the federal government, and being killed by Aaron Burr. We're going to say IRON MAN.
-Aaron Burr: We'll continue our earlier line of thought and say CAPTAIN AMERICA. We guess we'll see this Wednesday--we can't wait!!!!!!!!
-Ronald Reagan: We always associate Reagan with our stupid stepfather, who made us wear a stupid Reagan/Bush '84 button to class. All the cool first graders called me us a nazi and made us eat dirt, which made our allergies act up. Our stupid stepfather had a stupid mustache like DOCTOR STRANGE, so let's go with him.
-Franklin Roosevelt: Well, Roger Stern says CAPTAIN AMERICA, so who are we to disa--wait, we already did Captain America. Uh, let's say USAGENT.
-George W. Bush: We hear he doesn't care about black people, and neither did GREEN LANTERN, HAL JORDAN VERSION. Bring back the other guy! [In all fairness to Hal Jordan and his gruesome legion of fans, I hear that he did care about the "purple skins." -DH]
-George HW Bush: Obviously must be GREEN LANTERN, ALAN SCOTT VERSION.
-John F Kennedy: Taken from us too soon. GWEN STACEY.
-Bill Clinton: The greatest player in the history of the presidents, the ultimate large-testicled sex machine. Clearly you have to go with that stud NIGHTWING. We bet they've even had sex with some of the same women! In the DCU, we mean. We know Nightwing doesn't really exist...yet!
-Warren G Harding: Known as the most handsome president, so we guess he'd be BATMAN. Well, we hear women think Batman is handsome. We can't tell, being totally heterosexual-type guys.
-Dwight D Eisenhower: We think he looks like METAMORPHO. Runner up: DON RICKLES.
-Grover Cleveland: Our greatest president, the man who freed the slaves, proponent of free silver. Clearly the best choice is SILVER SURFER.
-Barack Hussein Obama: Call me old fashioned, but I'm going to say GREEN LANTERN, JOHN STEWART VERSION. I've always thought Denny O'Neill's depiction of a proud, angry black hero was directly responsible for the passage of the Voting Rights Act. The Civil Rights Act probably had more to do with Lt. Flap from Beetle Bailey, though. I guess that would have been a good choice had this been an article comparing presidents to minor comic strip characters. Maybe next year. [Ha ha. -DH]
And there you have it, every president ever, compared to a superhero. Happy Presidents' Day!!!! !!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hilarious. You should write funny stuff more often, Dick. It seems like you toned that side of yourself down after your first few months of blogging.

This was from the first few months of my blogging, actually.
Since it looks like I'll be doing more serious stuff at The Savage Critic, I might try to write more posts in this vein here.

Cook, Bake, Boil and Bubble... It's all about creating, experimenting and playing with food in my Colorado kitchen.
Tuesday, October 25, 2011
Bones! Yummy, chewy, squishy cinnamony bready bones ...
But, no, I decided to make bones. It's a simple idea. Make dough, tie ends in a knot, and you've got bones. They look sort of like the rawhides they sell for dogs.
That wasn't enough. I wanted some marrow in my bones. Oh, yeah, that's a lot more fun, isn't it? Who doesn't like a little surprise inside their bones, right?
I've been a little enamored with cane sugar lately, so that's what I used here. Plain old white sugar would be fine. If you don't happen to have almond flour around, chop or grind any nuts you like until you have a crumbly dry finely chopped product. Don't grind all the way until you have a paste, though.
Them Bones
2 cups (9 ounces) all purpose flour
4 tablespoons cane sugar, divided
3/4 cup water
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup almond flour
1 tablespoon cinnamon
Combine the yeast, flour, and 3 tablespoons of sugar, and water in the bowl of your stand mixer. Knead with the dough hook until the dough becomes elastic.
Add the salt and butter and continue kneading until both are incorporated and you have a smooth, soft, elastic dough.
Cover with plastic wrap and set aside until doubled in size, about 45 minutes.
Flour your work surface and turn out the dough. For ease of handling divide it in half. Roll half of the dough into a rectangle about 12 x 10 inches. Cut the dough into 4 strips, 3 inches wide by 10 inches long. Do the same with the second piece of dough.
Distribute the almond mixture lengthwise down the center of each strip of dough, stopping just short of the ends. Fold the dough over the almond mixture and seal the seam and the ends so you have a rope about 10 inches long.
Pick the rope up and squeeze it from one end to the other so the dough is firmly around the filling with no big air bubbles, and it's somewhat evenly thick from end to end. This will probably result in the rope lengthening a bit, to about 12 inches long. That's fine.
Cover the sheets with plastic wrap and set aside to rise until doubled in size, about 30 minutes.
Remove the plastic wrap and bake at 325 until the bones are a light golden brown, about 25 minutes.
Remove the bones from the baking sheet and let cool on a rack.

I love these, especially for Halloween. I think I'd like to change up the filling and go more traditional with a streusel than the almond flour. Only problem I can think of is that the butter in the streusel might cause the bread to not fill out properly.

Those are great!! And I love that there is marrow in the bones.

Thanks for this "trick-or-treaty" recipe (and for lots and lots of other especially bread recipes!), it went down well with my new colleagues at work, haha, chewing on some bones today=) I substituted almond flour with flax seed meal (which is easier to buy here in Russia) and it worked just fine! I wrote "Happy Halloween! Eat me! Treat yourself ... to some bones!" on a card and left them in our common kitchen =) they disappeared, of course, although we do not celebrate Halloween in these parts, it doesn't prevent us to enjoy food any time, hehe :D

Sony PlayStation Move Motion Controller for PS3 Price and Release Date Announced at E3 2010
PS3 Update: Sony announced the PlayStation Move Motion Controller price and release date at E3 2010. Sony Computer Entertainment wasn't dazzled by Microsoft's unveiling of the Kinect Motion Controller for Xbox 360 at E3 last June 13. The Japanese company came up with cheers of its own when it proclaimed that its Playstation Move Motion Controller for the PS3 will ship starting September 15 in Europe and Asian markets, and September 19 to U.S. customers. The audience let out an appreciative roar of approval when Sony announced that they will be selling the full bundle price for only $99.99. This package consists of the PlayStation Move, Playstation Eye, Sports Champions Blu-ray Game and a PlayStation Move Demo Disc.
If you don't have a PlayStation 3 console yet, you may avail of the promo and pay a low price of $399.99 for a PS3 system bundled with the Playstation Move package mentioned above. There is also an option to buy each item separately. You can buy the PlayStation Move for $49.99 and the PlayStation Eye camera for $39.99. Sony is offering a companion navigation controller that works like the Nintendo Wii's Nunchuk for $29.99.
Sony also announced that they are scheduled to release 20 game titles to coincide with the Move's commercial debut. All of these games will either be dedicated to work seamlessly with the PlayStation Move system. Some of these video games are Resident Evil 5 Gold Edition by CAPCOM Co., Ltd., Time Crises: Razing Storm by Bandai Namco Games Inc., Tiger Woods PGA Tour 11 by Electronic Arts Ltd, Lord of the Rings: Aragorn's Quest by WB Games Inc, EyePet, Sports Champions, Kung Fu Rider by SCE and many more. Sony Computer Entertainment reiterated its commitment to work closely with third-party developers to create more advanced games in the coming months.
Sony's motion-control system will debut almost 6 weeks before Microsoft's Kinect Motion Controller for Xbox 360 gaming console. I think Microsoft is just waiting for this price announcement and may also offer the Kinect for the equivalent price of $99.99. Too bad Sony didn't announce a new model for its PS3, Xbox 360 got a new upgraded version which may keep giving Microsoft the upper hand in terms of sales.

The Enforcement Unit receives and analyzes complaints related to potential violations of the Mortgage Broker Practices Act, the Consumer Loan Act, the Check Cashers and Sellers Act, the Escrow Agent Registration Act, and the Uniform Money Services Act. During the course of the investigative review, the Enforcement Unit must decide whether to resolve matters in an informal or formal manner.
The formal Enforcement actions brought by DFI's Consumer Services Division are available on the DFI website. These actions are generally the culmination of months of investigative review and analysis. A significant portion of the Enforcement Unit's time is spent investigating unlicensed activity. Typically, DFI will pursue formal Enforcement action against unlicensed entities; however, when there has been no consumer harm or where the company can demonstrate a likelihood of future compliance, DFI may resolve the complaint without issuing charges by proceeding directly to a negotiated consent order.
Many violations are resolved at an informal level at the complaint stage of the process. Complaint resolutions are not posted to the DFI website, nor are they available on NMLS. Over the past year, the Consumer Services' Enforcement Unit has closed 1,707 complaints, 240 of which cited violations of a specific statute.
To assist our licensees in evaluating their own potential compliance issues, the Enforcement Unit has provided a list of the most common violations cited against licensees in the complaint process.
As a whole, the most common violation by licensees is failure to respond in a timely manner and completely to Department-issued Directives and Subpoenas. For more information on how to avoid being cited for this violation, please refer to the article in the Fall 2012 newsletter on this topic.

Hi everybody,
Long time no see :-)
I've been pretty busy lately, but just wanted to take a few minutes and
share a recipe I've been playing around with.
This was always a springtime / cookout favorite of mine, and I did a post
on it a few years back: http://www.lowcarbfriends.com/bbs/lo...l#post10981553
I just wanted to share a few "tweaks" to the recipe that I think you'll enjoy.
First of all, it is now no-bake!
Secondly, the addition of coconut in the crust adds a great tropical flavor.
Thirdly, the almond flour crust has been replaced with a Macadamia crust.
Finally, there is no Erythritol required!
The picture you see above is my 3rd pizza in 2 weeks!!! This is super sweet
and your friends and family will NEVER know it's low carb.
Here is the recipe:
8 oz Macadamia nuts
4 tablespoon Butter
1/2 Cup Shredded Coconut (Tropical Traditions)
1 scoop Stevia (or liquid Stevia equivilant)
3 scoops Sucralose (or liquid Splenda equivilant)
8 oz Cream Cheese
1 Cup Heavy Cream
1 teaspoon Vanilla
1 scoop Stevia (or liquid Stevia equivilant)
3 scoops Sucralose (or liquid Splenda equivilant)
For the crust, grind Macadamia nuts in food processor. You will actually turn
the nuts into a paste because of all the fat in the nuts. This is ok, grind the
nuts into a puree' because you don't want any "crunch" in the crust.
Next, melt the butter and add the sweetener to the butter. The reason you add the
sweetener to the butter is because the sweetener is so concentrated that it will
be more evenly distributed throughout the crust if it is diluted in the butter first.
Add coconut and pour into a 10" greased pan (I used a 10" spring form pan).
Even with the addition of the coconut, this crust will still be very runny or soupy.
That is ok, just stick in the refrigerator or freezer for a few minutes
while you prepare the filling and it will be fine.
(Side note: the shredded coconut that I used was Tropical Tradition, and was very "dry".
If you are using fresh shredded coconut, you might want to dry it out in the oven
first, and possibly even give it a quick chop if you don't want any coconut texture in the dessert)
For the filling, combine cream cheese and heavy cream in a mixing bowl. Next, combine the
sweetener and Vanilla in a separate container, and add to bowl (if using powdered sweetener,
you might need to heat the vanilla slightly to get the sweetener to dissolve).
Mix. This will be very very thin at first, but will thicken very quickly after
just a few seconds on high with your mixer. Mix until creamy. Spread on crust. Add fruit.
Here is the nutritional info:
8 ounces Macadamias.............1628 calories......11.8 carbs.....171.8 fat.....17.9 protein
8 ounces Cream Cheese............792 calories..........6 carbs.......79.1 fat.....17.1 protein
1 Cup Heavy Cream..................821 calories.......6.6 carbs.......88.1 fat......4.9 protein
4 Tablespoons Butter................407 calories.........0 carbs.......46.1 fat........0 protein
1 ounce Coconut......................187 calories.........4 carbs.......18.2 fat........2 protein
Mandarin Oranges (3 ounces)......50 calories........11 carbs..........0 fat.........1 protein

Blueberries (2 ounces)................32 calories.......6.8 carbs.......(.2) fat.........0 protein
Pineapple (2 ounces)..................27 calories......6.4 carbs..........0 fat.......(.3) protein
Totals..................................3971 calories.....57.4 carbs......403.8 fat.....44.7 protein
Per serving (12 slices)..............331 calories.........4.8 carbs.......33.6 fat........3.7 protein
Wow! Really looks good!

So glad to hear from you, Bobo. Everyone has been missing you. The recipe looks scrumptious and guest-worthy.
Can you tell us how much (in cups or in weight or equivalent in sweetening power?) I have several "scoops" ; each is a different size, from 1 tsp to 1/2 cup.
That looks fantastic!!! This is a MUST try!

And your recipe looks yummy.
Hi Everybody,
Thanks for the warm greetings!
Can't say I'm back permanently yet, still trying to find my mojo :blush:
Sorry about the sweetener questions, I forgot I didn't add the picture.
The scoop I use is the little one that comes with the Stevia. Here are
a few more pics. Not my best photo journalism, but whatyagonnado :dunno:
Start with 8 ounces of Macadamias.
Mix into puree.
Add a little butter, sweetener, and coconut (not shown).
For the filling, mix heavy cream, cream cheese, vanilla, and sweetener.
Mix until creamy.
Spread on chilled crust.
Top with fruit.
That's what I love about your threads and recipes. You show step by step pictures.
Fruit pizza is probably one of my favorite desserts! I also make a no-bake fruit pizza.
Thanks Bobo
Yes, Jen, we'd love to see yours, or is it in one of your books which I have all. JUlie
:clap: I am so glad your back. I was just thinking you fell off the earh or worse, died.:laugh: I was just thinking about you again the other day.
I do have one question. Cant we use mac nut butter instead of doing the work?
This looks like a lovely recipe and it would not be thoughtful to post mine here. Mine is on my blog under pies. Bowulf did a video of how to make it.
This looks great, definitely "potluckable." Glad to see you back and thanks for sharing!
Hi Babsy, long time no see :)
I didn't know Mac Nut Butter existed, but yes, it looks exactly like what was
in my food processor, so I'm sure it would be fine too.
Jen.........no ego here, this is all for the common good :D
Please feel free to post any tips or pics you have to offer!
Everybody........this is seriously tasty!!! I am about to make my 4th one this month!
Just 5 all natural ingredients (macadamia nuts, cream cheese, heavy cream, butter, and coconut), plus your favorite fruit(s), and a little sweetener.
Also no bake, made in about 1/2 hour, and fun to decorate :cool:
Also, no Erythritol, so no grit!!!!

Yeowzers!!!!! Clicked on this thread and I was immediately confronted with that gorgeous pic and my eyes about popped outta my head!! That looks divine!!
Bobo, I'm so glad your back!!:high5::clap: You've been missed!!

That all sounds terrible...im 18 and im also 3 months pregnant. and if someone was threatening taking my baby away i would freak out. I dont know what your going through but some good ways to hide it are: if your showing already then wear some bigger shirts or ask to borrow one of your boyfriends sweatshirts...thats wat i would do...i know that we dont know eachother but im always here to talk :smileyhappy:
|Tue, 10-04-2011 - 11:51pm
I'm sorry about your situation and I think its really horrible that they would take your child away. I'm here to talk to if you ever need it. Hopefully you can hide it from them. I'm rooting for you. Keep me updated and remember you can talk to me. I wasn't in your situation, I had my own, and I had no one to talk to, and I know how hard and stressful that can be.

Rolling Stone Wins 'Cover of the Year' in ASME's '09 Best Cover Contest
The July '08 cover featuring President Obama was chosen by Amazon.com customers.
The cover of the July 10-24, 2008, issue of Rolling Stone featuring Barack Obama was named "Cover of the Year" in ASME's Best Cover Contest, David Willey, ASME president and editor-in-chief, Runner's World, announced today at the Magazine Innovation Summit in New York City.
The cover, which won the "Best Obama" category before it was chosen as "Cover of the Year," depicts Barack Obama in Raleigh, NC, just a few days after receiving the Democratic Party's presidential nomination.
For the third annual competition, visitors to Amazon.com were prompted to vote on nominated covers in 10 categories, marking the first time in the four-year history of the contest that the winners were determined by consumers rather than by ASME members. Magazine covers were eligible if they appeared in issues dated from June 1, 2008, through May 30, 2009. More than 100,000 votes were counted.
The nine other Best Cover Contest category winners, which were announced last month, are:
Entertainment & Celebrity: Vanity Fair
(January 2009 issue)
Sports & Fitness: Sports Illustrated
(December 12, 2008 issue)
Fashion & Beauty: Harper's Bazaar

Let's talk about milk. Low-fat milk. Skim milk. Whole milk. Raw milk. All of it. Milk is another one of those controversial foods where some people think it's the best thing since sliced bread and others will argue to their death that it is killing us.
I personally love milk. Real milk, that is. During both of my pregnancies it was the often the only thing that sounded good. As a nourishing source of fats, proteins, and carbohydrates it helped keep me going through those first few weeks. But is milk really good for you? And what kind is best?
You've probably heard the argument that cow's milks is for baby cows; not for humans. And by the design of nature I can see that point. But like any animal, we humans have a history of searching out foods wherever we can get it. Food isn't always species appropriate. Our bodies evolved to digest lactose after our ancestors (thousands of years ago) started drinking and fermenting milk. And trust me, other animals will drink the milk from other species if they can get their paws on it. (In fact, check out this video of some pigs going to town on a cow's udders.)
Of course the majority of the American population doesn't think twice about consuming milk, as evident by the large portion of space dedicated to it in any grocery store. But not all milk is created equal. Milk is another example of how real food has been altered into a fake food counterfeit.
Why I don't trust skim or low-fat milk
I grew up in a home that usually had 1% or skim milk in the fridge. I didn't think anything of it because almost everyone I knew was drinking the same stuff. In fact, it wasn't until I was talking to a friend in college that I heard of anyone drinking whole milk. And I thought she was weird.
And when we think about the battle against fat it makes sense that we'd be afraid of full fat milk. Once upon a time milk was prized and purchased for its cream. As soon as fat became a villain, however, the dairy industry scored big as they could now make mega bucks on a product that was once considered useless. Simply skim the cream (and use it to sell higher priced items like butter and ice cream) and sell the leftovers as "health food." Awesome…. for them, not you.
But the sad story of skim milk goes beyond a desire for increased profit. Processed milk doesn't really pass as milk by anyone's standards.
Skim milk has an off color, chalky taste, and the water-like texture is anything but milk-like. Another win for big dairy is that they can add powdered milks solids to make it more normal. And since it's still technically "milk" they don't have to label anything.
The problem with powdered milk
Remember how vegetable oils oxidize easily which contribute to all sorts of bad things in the body? Well the process of "powdering" milk is much the same. Liquid milk is forced through tiny holes at very high pressure. This causes the cholesterol in milk to oxidize. Toxic nitrates then form. This is a problem for many reasons:
- The oxidized cholesterol contributes to the buildup of plaque in the arteries (instead of helping fight inflammation like unprocessed cholesterol.)
- Powdered milk is so denatured that the proteins are actually unrecognizable by the body, contributing to inflammation.
- Most commercial milk comes from ill-treated animals in Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFO) which produce products full of hormones, antibiotics, and puss.
Plus, skim milk (and even low-fat milk) is missing that glorious butterfat that is a great source of Vitamin K (something many Americans are highly deficient in). Remember, your body needs fat to process fat-soluble vitamins. Although the diluted nature of skim milk leaves very nutrition left anyway. Studies continue to show that low-fat milk is actually making us fatter (source).
The real deal: Why I drink raw milk
Sounds like you should avoid milk, right? Not if you can get your hands on REAL milk. My favorite is clean, unpasteurized, unhomogenized (read: processed FREE) raw milk. There's plenty of scare tactics being used by the FDA and CDC to keep you away from the good stuff (including plenty of laws that make it illegal in some states), but if you buckle down and do the research you'll realize this is the gold mine of real food goodness.
Raw milk has not been pasteurized so all its beneficial enzymes are still intact. This is one of the reasons why people who have a hard time digesting pasteurized dairy products have absolutely no issue with raw milk.
Many believe that pasteurization is the key to a healthy civilization, and it's true that it probably saved a lot of lives when it was first introduced. Keep in mind that at the time industrial practices were so filthy that milk and other products needed to be heated at high temperatures to kill the many pathogens that resulted from poor animal treatment and bad sanitation practices. But again, if we get back to REAL food that is grown in the ground, on clean farms, and in pastures instead of factory food then the problem becomes very minimal.
But is raw milk safe?
Despite government agencies trying to scare everyone away from raw milk, the facts paint a different picture. In fact, you are much more likely to get sick from produce than dairy.
According to Chris Kresser:
Produce is responsible for the greatest number of illnesses each year (2,062), with nearly twice as many illnesses as poultry (1,112). Dairy products are at the bottom of the list. They cause the fewest outbreaks and illnesses of all the major food categories – beef, eggs, poultry, produce and seafood.
According to the CDC, during the period from 1990 − 2006, there were 24,000 foodborne illnesses reported each year on average. Of those, 315 per year are from dairy products. This means dairy products account for about 1.3% of foodborne illnesses each year. That's not exactly an alarming number, considering that more than 75% of the population consumes dairy products regularly. It's also important to note that the outbreaks and illnesses associated with dairy products are generally mild compared to other foods." (source)
Raw milk passes my "real food" test. It's a living food with beneficial bacteria, enzymes, and full of vitamins and minerals. Its butterfat is rich in Conjugated Linoleic Acid, it's easier to digest, and if left alone at room temperature it doesn't go "bad" like pasteurized milk. Instead it clabbers and can be turned into a pro-biotic rich yogurt-like food.
Um, awesome.
Of course you'll want to ensure that your raw milk comes from a clean source. Look for grass-fed cows that aren't fed hormones or antibiotics. You can always visit realmilk.com to find reliable sources near you.
Go to the farm. Ask questions. See the process. Be involved in your food.
Run away from "Fat Free!"
Fat-free is generally another term for "highly-processed." If food naturally has fat, eat that. Don't pay for chemical-laden, washed-down garbage that your body can't recognize. Also, this is generally true for similar labels that read: "Sugar-Free!" Don't forget: If something has to promoted as a health food, it generally is not.
Trust nature, not labels. And that goes for both the food that ends up in your home as well as the process by which it was created. And definitely, do not be afraid of fat.

This is what I set up for backups recently using a cheap USB-enclosure which can house 2 SATA disks and shows them as 2 USB mass-storage devices to my system (using only one USB cable). Without any further introduction, here goes the HOWTO:
First, create one big partition on each of the two disks (/dev/sdc and /dev/sdd in my case) of the exact same size. The cfdisk details are omitted here.
$ cfdisk /dev/sdc $ cfdisk /dev/sdd
Then, create a new RAID array using the mdadm utility:
$ mdadm --create /dev/md0 --level=1 --raid-devices=2 /dev/sdc1 /dev/sdd1
The array is named md0, consists of the two devices (--raid-devices=2) /dev/sdc1 and /dev/sdd1, and it's a RAID-1 array, i.e. data is simply mirrored on both disks so if one of them fails you don't lose data (--level=1). After this has been done the array will be synchronized so that both disks contain the same data (this process will take a long time). You can watch the current status via:
$ cat /proc/mdstat Personalities : [raid1] md0 : active raid1 sdd1[1] sdc1[0] 1465135869 blocks super 1.1 [2/2] [UU] [>....................] resync = 0.0% (70016/1465135869) finish=2440.6min speed=10002K/sec unused devices:
Some more info is also available from mdadm:
$ mdadm --detail --scan ARRAY /dev/md0 metadata=1.01 name=foobar:0 UUID=1234578:1234578:1234578:1234578 $ mdadm --detail /dev/md0 /dev/md0: Version : 1.01 Creation Time : Sat Feb 6 23:58:51 2010 Raid Level : raid1 Array Size : 1465135869 (1397.26 GiB 1500.30 GB) Used Dev Size : 1465135869 (1397.26 GiB 1500.30 GB) Raid Devices : 2 Total Devices : 2 Persistence : Superblock is persistent Update Time : Sun Feb 7 00:03:21 2010 State : active, resyncing Active Devices : 2 Working Devices : 2 Failed Devices : 0 Spare Devices : 0 Rebuild Status : 0% complete Name : foobar:0 (local to host foobar) UUID : 1234578:1234578:1234578:1234578 Events : 1 Number Major Minor RaidDevice State 0 8 33 0 active sync /dev/sdc1 1 8 49 1 active sync /dev/sdd1
Next, you'll want to create a big partition on the RAID device (cfdisk details omitted)...
$ cfdisk /dev/md0
...and then encrypt all the (future) data on the device using dm-crypt+LUKS and cryptsetup:
$ cryptsetup --verbose --verify-passphrase luksFormat /dev/md0p1 Enter your desired pasphrase here (twice) $ cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/md0p1 myraid
After opening the encrypted container with cryptsetup luksOpen you can create a filesystem on it (ext3 in my case):
$ mkfs.ext3 -j -m 0 /dev/mapper/myraid
That's about it. In future you can access the RAID data by using the steps below.
Starting the RAID and mouting the drive:
$ mdadm --assemble /dev/md0 /dev/sdc1 /dev/sdd1 $ cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/md0p1 myraid $ mount -t ext3 /dev/mapper/myraid /mnt
Shutting down the RAID:
$ umount /mnt $ cryptsetup luksClose myraid $ mdadm --stop /dev/md0
That's all. Performance is shitty due to all the data being shoved out over one USB cable (and USB itself being too slow for these amounts of data), but I don't care too much about that as this setup is meant for backups, not performance-critical stuff.
Update 04/2011: Thanks to Bohdan Zograf there's a Belorussian translation of this article now!
I recently almost died from a heart attack because after a really horrible crash (don't ask), Debian unstable on my laptop wouldn't boot anymore. The system hung at "Waiting for root filesystem...", and I was in panic mode as I feared I lost all my data (and as usual my backups were waaay too old).
At first I was suspecting that something actually got erased or mangled due to the crash, either at the dm-crypt layer, or the LVM layer, or the ext3 filesystem on top of those. After various hours of messing with live CDs, cryptsetup, lvm commands (such as pvscan, pvs, vgchange, vgs, vgck) and finally fsck I still had not managed to successfully boot my laptop.
I finally was able to boot by changing the initrd from initrd.img-2.6.30-2-686 to initrd.img-2.6.30-2-686.bak in the GRUB2 menu (at boot-time), at which point it was clear that something was wrong with my current initrd. A bit of debugging and some initrd comparisons revealed the cause:
Both, the cryptsetup and lvm2 packages were no longer installed on my laptop, which made all update-initramfs invokations (e.g. upon kernel package updates) create initrds which did not contain the proper dm-crypt and lvm functionality support. Hence, no booting for me. I only noticed because of the crash, as I usually do not reboot the laptop very often (two or three times per year maybe).
Now, as to why those packages were removed I have absolutely no idea. I did not remove them knowingly, so I suspect some dist-upgrade did it and I didn't notice (but I do carefully check which packages dist-upgrade tries to remove, usually)...
Here's a nice opportunity for everyone to learn more about coreboot, a Free Software / Open Source firmware/BIOS for x86 PCs.
Ron Minnich, founder of the LinuxBIOS (now called coreboot) project, Peter Stuge of Stuge Konsult, and Stefan Reinauer of coresystems GmbH have given a presentation for the Google Tech Talks series recently. The topic was (of course) coreboot, its history, goals, features and technical details, surrounding tools and libraries such as flashrom and libpayload, as well as an automated test system for running a hardware test-suite upon every checkin in the coreboot repository.
A video of the talk, aptly named coreboot (aka LinuxBIOS): The Free/Open-Source x86 Firmware (134 MB), is available from Youtube, get it for instance via:
$ apt-get install youtube-dl $ youtube-dl http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X72LgcMpM9k
The talk includes various demos of coreboot and various payloads you can use with coreboot. One nice example is the TINT payload, a Tetris-like game for Linux (
apt-get install tint for the curious), which has been reworked to be usable as a coreboot payload.
So, yes, you can now put Tetris in your BIOS ROM chip and play it from there (no hard drive required).
Other demos included some cluster nodes with coreboot, and a "normal" x86 desktop board booting coreboot + Linux in a very few seconds (much room left for optimizing there though, if you really want to get into fast booting).
Check out the full talk for more infos, and if you're willing to give it a try (see the list of currently supported boards), contact us on the mailing list or join the #coreboot IRC channel on Freenode.
Fun stuff I just stumbled over: a personal/human airbag from Japan, supposedly meant for elderly people who might fall and injure themselves.
Watch a video of the airbag in action on Youtube (no need for crappy Flash player, you can use youtube-dl for instance). Such a device could be a lot of fun I imagine; make it cheap enough and lots of people will buy it just for fun falling-on-your-back experiments :-)
...next time you write such a piece of malware, how about making it do something useful (instead of nefarious) for a change, say, have your botnet zombies become Tor exit nodes? kthxbye.

At hearing, Levin questioned Air Force officials on proposed Air National Guard cuts
Tuesday, March 20, 2012
WASHINGTON – This morning, Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich., chaired a hearing of the Senate Armed Services Committee on the Air Force's proposed budget for 2013. At the hearing, Levin questioned Air Force officials about proposed cuts to the Air National Guard, which include proposed mission changes for the Michigan Air National Guard.
Following is Senator Levin's statement about the hearing:
"I have significant concerns about the way the Air Force's proposed cuts fall disproportionately on the National Guard, and I question the logic that the Air Force used in crafting their proposal. As today's hearing showed, those concerns are shared by a number of members of the Armed Services Committee.
"Today's hearing represented important progress. Air Force officials acknowledged that they are discussing their proposed changes with state governors. Those discussions will hopefully lead to modifications in their plan. They promised to brief the committee on those discussions and to provide more detailed justifications for their proposals. And they promised not to take any steps toward implementing these changes until the congressional defense committees consider them."

Articulated Credit is college preparation for a technical career!
Articulated Credit is a way to begin a technical college major in high school. In an articulated credit program, students begin their course of study in high school and continue in a community or technical college. The result is an Associate of Applied Science (AAS) degree or certificate in a career field. These degrees may apply toward a Bachelor in Applied Arts and Technology (BAAT) or a Bachelor in Applied Arts and Sciences (BAAS); students should consult their college or university counselor/advisor. Students will earn college credit for high school technical courses that have been agreed upon by College of the Mainland and individual high schools. This will save students time and money once they begin attending College of the Mainland.
