It's never as good an idea as it seems to throw a party while the parents are away - and in the case of MONSTER MADNESS it is definitely a BAD IDEA!
Four daring young friends get together for a party - like many friends do, while the parents are away, but somebody ... or something, is about to crash the party.
The suspense is gripping - Monster Madness' fast-paced action involves lots of independent animated characters on-screen at once......
Meanwhile you can visit five locations, including the suburban town, the high school, and the "Shopping Maul."
With this game you can customize and build your own weapons by grabbing parts from the house and town to create more powerful attack tools and find rare parts to build some ultimate weapons.
Plus you can Jack abandoned vehicles and deck them out with weapons to ride through the terrain and take out creatures.
Fight off the monster invasion if you can!

It has been some time since we had the chance to write about our travels. We have had two sets of visitors from the UK and though we have been out and about, I didn't take my notebook. One of the visitors was our granddaughter, Lissie, who is just four years old. We had a lot of fun taking her to places which we never been to before – San Jose Children's Discovery Museum, Mystery Spot, Happy Hollow Park and Zoo. Of course we took a couple of trips to the beaches of Santa Cruz and Capitola as well.
Now we are back to the old routine and on the road again in the early hours of a Saturday morning on our way to Pinnacles National Monument. Our last visit to Pinnacles was in March 2008 when we saw the condors for the first time. That time we entered on the west side. This time we went to the east side, which is south of Hollister.
Over the last few weeks the weather has been very hot. This last week it has cooled down to a pleasant temperature. It was a bit foggy over towards the coast as we traveled south on 101 but it promises to be a nice day at Pinnacles.
South of Gilroy we turned onto Highway 25 and drove between newly plowed fields of dark brown soil. Some crops were still being grown. There was one field of a dark leaved crop which looked like lettuce. Highway 25 is a two lane highway which is heavily used during commute hours and has a solid concrete barrier down the center for most of the way into Hollister. There had been some nasty head on crashes before the barrier went up.
After breakfast at the Cozy Cup Cafe in Hollister we continued on our merry way, driving first through the center of Hollister. It is a very pleasant town. Groups of children were busy with brooms and cleaning equipment. We deduced it was some sort of sponsored clean up. Once we made our way back to Highway 25 we were again on the road to Pinnacles. We drove through Tres Pinos and the 19th Hole where we had lunch back in August. No bikers around yet.
We drove past the San Benito Fairgrounds outside Tres Pinos and the scenery changed from farms and golf courses to low hills with cattle and horses grazing. The hills became higher until we reached Paicines. Here the land became flatter for a while and once more we drove between fields and a couple of vineyards. Tom stopped to take a photo of some trailers lined up in a field. I spoke too soon about the bikers – a whole convoy passed us driving south while we were stopped.
At first the road ahead was long and straight but soon we started to climb and the road became more twisty. Just after 9.oo o'clock we turned onto Highway 146 which dead ends at Pinnacles National Monument.
At the East Entrance Station we paid the $5 day use fee and drove to the Bear Gulch Day Use Area. We looked at the map to work out which trail
we would take. The first time we came to the east side we hiked on the High Peaks Trail. Last time we walked to the Bear Gulch Reservoir on Bear Gulch Cave Trail. This time we decided to do the Condor Gulch Trail. A group of scouts were assembling to take the very same trail so we waited for them to get going before we set off.
At the start of the trail we crossed a little wooden bridge and then we started to climb. It was not a difficult climb to begin with but before too long it became steeper.
When Tom was busy taking photos I found a convenient rock to sit on until he caught up. It was a beautiful day though still a bit hazy on the hill hills. We still had not seen the distinctive Pinnacles skyline but hoped that would change before too long. The sun felt very pleasant where I was sitting and I listened to birdsong all around and the sound of a woodpecker at work in the distance. As the sun gradually became hotter the haze disappeared and at last we saw the towering spires of Pinnacles.
The trail did indeed become steeper and it was some time before I found another perching rock. Tom had spotted some big birds gliding the thermals and we surmised they were condors. Then he spotted something else. High upon the side of a craggy peak he saw white splashes on the rocks. I checked them out through the binoculars. We are almost certain there were condor nests up there and the streaks were caused by bird excretion, or to be exact, guano.
We did not go as far as we had hoped. Unfortunately I did not feel too good and besides the flies were becoming a pest. So we turned around and walked back down.
The ride home was interesting. On Highway 25 a convoy of sporty corvettes, passed us beading south. Not long after that, going in the same direction, a dozen or so beautiful customized cars streamed by. Tom spotted a Camero, a '57 Chevy station wagon, a Rolls Royce, old Fords from the 1930's and 1940's and a couple of hot rods. I wonder where they were going? They could not have been going to Pinnacles as the car parks were already full. Then, as we approached Tres Pinos, I spotted what I thought was a hanglider, then another and another, until there were five altogether. They turned out to be parachutists, each with tw0 people attached. We found a convenient parking spot and watched them all land in the field in front of us. It was an amazing sight.
After an eventful day we arrived home at 1:00. We will have to return to Pinnacles to complete that hike another day.

Warwickshire & Northamptonshire Air Ambulance
reached double figures in 2013 as it celebrated an incredible 10
years of lifesaving work in October.
Formed in 2003, our Air Ambulance has been helping people across
the counties of Warwickshire and Northamptonshire, saving thousands
of lives and keeping many families together.
We attend many different accidents from road traffic collisions,
horse riding accidents, sporting injuries and medical emergencies
such as cardiac arrests - to name but a few!
Our brilliant paramedics, doctors and pilots work together to
provide advanced clinical care to patient at the scene of the
accident, before flying them to the hospital most suitable for
their injuries - all in all giving them the very best chances of
survival and recovery.
The speed of the helicopter means we can fly our patients to the
hospital best equipped to treat their injuries, rather than to the
nearest hospital which may not have specialist treatment
Flying out of Coventry Airport, we attend an average of three
rescue missions every single day (that's right, even Christmas
Day!) with the capability to attend even more should the need
Each rescue mission costs an average of £1,700 so we have a team
of dedicated fundraisers working hard across the counties to ensure
that our helicopter remains in the sky.
Read about our recent rescue
missions and find out all about the community fundraising
events happening near you.

Hey! I'm over here....
Why I love Google....
Thursday, September 13, 2007
I sit at my desk all day browsing the computer... except when I am painting... but I don't paint as often as I should be...
You ask me exactly what I do. Well, here's a list of 10 websites I visit everyday like a maniac...
- Gmail - I check my inbox for what sounds like a thousand times everyday. But somehow the total number of non-spam emails I receive everyday is less than 5. Life is totally hard on me!
- Blogger
- Google Adsense - Yes, I check everyday to make sure that I still haven't made a cent...
- Google Analytics
- Picasa Webalbums (I use Picasa software to organise my photos)
- Youtube
- Google - Some umpteen searches of "this" and "that". Some day I'll take a snapshot of my searches to share with you.... Only if you promise not to laugh!
- All updated blogs I have subscribed to.
- Wetcanvas - My favourite art forum.
- Illustration Friday and Photo Friday - To exhibit work and to check for updates...
Except for points 8, 9 and 10, I use my google account all over. Now don't you see why I love google so much?
I just can't live without it. Go! Google!

I have fallen in love, once again!
Wednesday, September 12, 2007
I've done it again. I have fallen in love at first sight!
I just can't seem to control myself whenever I see something sooooo HOT!! OOOHHHHHHHH!!
We decided that we'll buy it after a couple of months... Or when I sell one of my paintings.. whichever is earlier!
And the last time we decided so was when we wanted a camcorder. We went to the shop, enquired everything and decided that we should buy it after 3 months, to keep budget, just if you are wondering...
But we bought it a week later because we were going to Thailand for a mini-break... What a horror would it be to go to Thailand without a camcorder!!!!
I'm counting the days now... Who knows when my luck will come knocking at the door?

Super clean houses, shiny computers, but STILL I whine!
Monday, September 10, 2007
Our weekend was pretty much the usual busy thing... Unlike the previous weekend, we didn't have a lazy day celebration. Rather we had a 'home improvement' saturday.
We cleaned everything (almost). The floor was so clean, smooth and shiny that I could see my face reflected in it. I cleaned my laptop using Colin for the first time since we bought it, thats about an year!
Our new food processor works great. Yesterday I cooked a really big meal. Hubby was so happy and said that it is exactly like the good old days'.
And finally we purchased some gifts for our 2 year old nephew because we will be going to India in 2 months. Yes, we are well planned!
But I whine because my mondays hate me! Early this morning, when we were still in bed, I got a call from China!
No, I don't know anyone from China. I don't know Chinese, neither have I been to China!
I didn't even know it was from China. Because the caller wasn't waiting for me to pickup the call. There were some 15 missed calls... 15 calls that didn't even wait for me to pickup. What would you feel if it happened to you while you are asleep?
dring... cut. dring... cut. dri... cut. dri... cut. dri... cut. dri... cut. dri... cut. dri... cut. dri... cut. dri... cut. dri... cut. dri... cut. dri... cut. dri... PICKUP!
Yes, I waited like a fishing cat with the phone in my hand and caused that anonymous caller an international call charge.
I woke up shortly after and started packing hubby's lunch. House was dark as if it were only 4 am. Period. Remember, it's monday morning...
And then the rain started. Heavily. And even more. Hubby left, I cleaned the vessels and still it's raining. My nose if letting out as much water as the rain....
Yes, I told you already! My mondays hate me!!!

Wondering what others call my house as?
Sunday, September 9, 2007
Today we were cleaning the vessels in the kitchen sink. Through the windows, we noticed the people walking in the parking lot and started making guesses as to which house they belonged to (we know nobody in our neighbourhood).
See, this man carries a suitcase and looks new around here. He must be a newbie.
This lady, oh, she belongs to the "army house*"
The other lady, she must belong to that "yahoo house**"
We have names to all houses around.
Like, our house next door is the "fat boy house".
The next-next door is the "TV house" because their TV is never switched OFF (You gotta believe this because hubby and I have the weirdest habits and you can see us outside at 1 am in the morning (or night) or even 6 am in the morning. ) We have a nice view of their TV from our house and so this took our attention even before the fact that they have 2 (or 3?) cute doggies...
The next-next-next door... Huh I dunno... Because I have never seen them or their door open!!
*Army house is where we once noticed army clothes being dried in the line
**Yahoo house is where once a towel was drying with "yahoo!" inscribed in it
So it happened to us that even others might have noticed us the way we do. Even others might have names made for our house right?
I wonder what others call my house as....
- The house that has that crazy woman who always sings in a loud noise. ......so loud that it's anything but pleasant!
- Or a crazy couple who always discuss or argue in a notably loud voice that sounds like they are fighting (sounds like huh?)
- Or the woman who walks around in her pyjamas all day!
- Or the couple who entitles us to a free kissing show every morning at 9
- AND the couple who think that they are smart enough to kiss only behind their closed "main door"!!!
- AND the couple who don't even know that the other side of their "main door" is clearly visible through the kitchen windows.
- TV? No you can't name me after my TV because I have nice curtains all time and nobody can say what's cooking on my TV. Or even whether or not it's cooking at all!

Bug alert: Spammers (Update)
Friday, September 7, 2007
(An update to my previous post)
Whatever did I do to get these emails.....
On another note, recently I have been getting emails which show the sender's name as "me". Do they ever think I have as much short memory to forget sending mails to myself?

Oops, I was bitten by a snake
Wednesday, September 5, 2007
We were watching this TV show where a little girl lied that she was bitten by a snake. She gave the doctors a difficult time before they found the truth. Children are like that.
I have been through this. Actually, I never talked about this to anyone. Why, infact, I never accepted it myself!
I was in seventh grade and our teacher was asking questions to the girls. I couldn't answer the question that day and there were not many girls along with me. I felt so bad, so scared and upset about the possible spanking.
And then it happened suddenly. As if by magic, involuntarily, to save me from the punishment.
I couldn't breath. I mean it.
I suddenly had trouble breathing. It never happened to me in the past (and wouldn't happen again atleast until I'm 25).
My sister who was studying in the same school took me home and I was taken to the doctor who, after a couple of tests declared that I was fine. I came home normal just to erase the entire thing from my memory.
After seeing the snake bite program, I remembered. Now, it's all clear. I lied, I still don't understand whether I did it on purpose or my subconcious did it. But I lied to escape from the spanking. I don't know if my mother knows.

Last night, we brought our new baby home!
Tuesday, September 4, 2007
Dear baby,
We brought you home last night. We were all so excited. Hubby and I kept touching you all the way home. And we stayed up so late settling you in your new place. We found a great place in our home for you to sleep and play.
You were happy too. You cackled with joy (Even though I haven't had you before, I think I can say cackling and whining apart!!!).
I dreamed of you last night and for sometime, I was deprived of sleep just thinking about you.
Every morning when I woke up, I used to think "Oh my God! How am I gonna make it through this day?"
But now, I'm happy to wake up and face my day. You have made me a better home maker. You have brought new lifestyle for me.
You are my sunshine. I look much better with you.
When I talked about how hubby and I always chose junk food to home made healthy food, people used to say that we will change when we have a baby.
Now I know. They were right. How can everyone be wrong?
Now that you are here, we have brought healthy food (vegetables) into our house and diet.
To me, you are like a dream come true! You have come to make things better for me. Faster and easier...
Thanks to you.
Welcome home, our new, little........
Food processor....
A new addition to my kitchen counter...

3 cheers to Dove
Dove is creating a revolution. It seems to be changing the idea of beauty. We all are a bit misguided by the skinny models who are called beauties these days... A few months back, they brought up a campaign for real beauty featuring "real women" with real curves....
Recently, they are back with a Proage campaign. Featured are really old women with wrinkles and stretch marks. It was pleasantly surprising to see women aged 50+ posing nude..
Yes. Posing nude. But it conveys the meaning. Beauties-with-wrinkles-and-stretch marks.
Dove is really upto it. Creating awareness of real beauty. Even when you are 65 years old!
Bottom line is, "This is what real beauty is. So be proud."
I feel it. Now, wrinkles do not mean aging. But they mean EXPERIENCE. Beauty is counted by the number of wrinkles you have not and the ones you masked!
Things are justified. I'm happy about my grand parents now... And my own parents who have already started to look like aged!! They are looking right their age. They are beautiful!
Why should I worry?
Here's the link for that wonderful campaign!!!

Ms. Teen USA '07 - South Carolina in news
I hadn't seen this clip until Jenn mentioned it in her blog. It is hilarious and I thought I should share it too!!!
Ms. Teen USA '07 - South Carolina answered her question.... The question was "About 5% of Americans can't locate the U.S. in a world map. What do you think?"
Here's what the poor child answered...
"Help the U.S., help South Africa and the Asian countries"... What was that?
But she appeared on National Television after this excellent answer on her defence... Here's the youtube clip!
The kid was bold enough and says "I made a mistake. Everybody makes mistakes and here I am!"
She also said that when that question was asked, she was shocked and overwhelmedand probably heard only 2 words or so. Says she misunderstood the question!
On another note, this girl finally made it into the top 4 in Ms. Teen USA '07 contest!!!

Why do they call a restroom so?
Daringyoungmom has this new post in her blog. While reading this, I remembered a particular discussion I found in a company's employee forum long back.
A person with obviously no other work: "Why is a restroom called so?"
Another such person: "You can work at your office desk; You can eat at your desk; You can drink at your desk; You can chat at your desk; You can read at your desk; You can even sleep at the your desk. You can do MOST of the important things at your desk.
The REST, which you cannot do at your desk is done at the 'RESTROOM'. Hence the name."
Now this must have answered many of you!
In my personal experience, I have seen a restroom (in an office building) which had a sofa. Yes, there was a sofa in all the restrooms. I'm not sure about the male rest rooms though :-)
I guess that was what they had intended while naming it a restroom: To Put sofas there so that people can really REST there while taking short breaks from office work!
The term sounded so decent especially in office circles and may be everyone adapted the word rather than say "toilet" publicly.

BlackBerry Bold (9000), the first 3G packin' Berry
Kicking off WES 2008 this morning RIM announced the upcoming release of BlackBerry Bold, also known as BlackBerry 9000. This 3G packing smartphone comes fully equipped with HSDPA, EDGE, Wi-Fi, GPS and a 2.0 megapixel camera. Not only that but the BlackBerry Bold also features 1GB on on-board memory, 128MB of flash memory for content storage (such as phonebook and messages), Media Sync allowing it sync directly with iTunes and its amazing half-VGA (480×320 resolution) color display.
The BlackBerry Bold is expected to hit carriers this summer. Pricing is expected to be fairly high. Check out BlackBerryBold.com or click on over for its full press release.
RIM Introduces the BlackBerry Bold Smartphone
Top of the line BlackBerry smartphone features premium design and unprecedented performance; perfect for business professionals and power users.
Waterloo, ON- For customers seeking a smartphone that makes a bold statement, Research In Motion (RIM) (Nasdaq: RIMM; TSX: RIM) today introduced the admirable BlackBerry® Bold™ smartphone. Crafted from premium materials, inside and out, that radiate elegance with a dramatic presence, the BlackBerry Bold is designed to give business professionals and power users unprecedented functionality and performance in an intuitive BlackBerry® smartphone. It is the first BlackBerry smartphone to support tri-band HSDPA high-speed networks around the world and comes with integrated GPS and Wi-Fi®, as well as a rich set of multimedia capabilities. From its lustrous black exterior, satin chrome finished frame and stylish leather-like backplate, to its stunning display, sophisticated user interface and newly designed full-QWERTY* keyboard, the BlackBerry Bold smartphone is a symbol of accomplishment and aspiration.
"The new BlackBerry Bold represents a tremendous step forward in business-grade smartphones and lives up to its name with incredible speed, power and functionality, all wrapped in a beautiful and confident design," said Mike Lazaridis, President and Co-CEO, Research In Motion.
The BlackBerry Bold smartphone's support for tri-band HSDPA and enterprise-grade Wi-Fi (802.11 a/b/g) networks and its next-generation 624 MHz mobile processor make short work of downloading email attachments, streaming video or rendering web pages. The BlackBerry Bold also includes 128 MB Flash memory plus 1 GB on-board storage memory, as well as and a microSD/SDHC memory card slot** that is conveniently accessible from a side door. It comes with the renowned BlackBerry productivity applications, including phone, email, messaging, organizer and browser, and works with thousands of mobile business and lifestyle applications, making it easier than ever to stay connected, productive and entertained. With this powerful new smartphone, users can even talk on the phone while sending and receiving email or accessing the web, and download Word, Excel or PowerPoint files and edit them directly on the handset using the preloaded DataViz® Documents to Go® suite.
The BlackBerry Bold smartphone comes with the most vivid and bold display ever introduced on a BlackBerry smartphone. Its half-VGA (480×320 resolution) color LCD is fused to the undersurface of the lens, making images leap out with stunning definition and clarity. Pictures are vibrant and razor sharp, while videos play smoothly and web pages, documents, presentations and messages snap with exceptional quality and contrast.
With its newly enhanced, high performance browser and high-resolution, ultra-bright display, the BlackBerry Bold smartphone gives users an on-the-go web browsing experience with desktop-style depiction. The trackball mimics a mouse, making it easy to navigate sites in "Page View" or "Column View" or to zoom in on specific parts of a web page, while various emulation settings allow users to choose between the full desktop-style HTML content and layout or the mobile version. Attachments can also now be downloaded from within the browser and there is support for watching streaming videos (RTSP – real-time streaming protocol).
While it is designed to meet the extensive requirements of the business professional during the day, the BlackBerry Bold smartphone also caters to the business person's consumer side during evenings and weekends. It features a 2 megapixel camera with video recording capability, built-in flash and 5x digital zoom. The enhanced media player can display pictures and slideshows quickly, play movies smoothly in full screen mode, and manage an entire music collection. Audio can be played over the handset's dual speakers in rich, stereo sound, and when using wired headphones or external speakers, the media player gives the user an equalizer with 11 preset filters – like "Lounge", "Jazz" and "Hip Hop" – that boost or soften audio ranges to create the perfect ambiance.
For managing music and video, the BlackBerry® Desktop Manager software includes Roxio® Media Manager for BlackBerry® as well as Roxio Photosuite® 9 LE, which makes it easy to enhance pictures and create photo albums on the computer. For users that manage their collection with iTunes®, the new BlackBerry® Media Sync application provides a simple way to sync iTunes digital music collections with the smartphone***. Support for High Speed USB 2.0 allows all files to be transferred quickly from a desktop computer to the BlackBerry Bold smartphone.
For even broader high-speed network coverage, the BlackBerry Bold smartphone supports the 802.11 a/b/g Wi-Fi standards, ideal for use in enterprise or campus wireless LAN deployments, over Wi-Fi hotspots and on wireless home networks. A new "Push Button Setup" is included, making it faster for users to connect to protected wireless networks that require a sign on process.
Through its integrated GPS, the BlackBerry Bold smartphone can pinpoint its exact location, supporting applications like BlackBerry® Maps and other location-based applications or services. With its improved rendering capabilities, faster download speeds and ability to support simultaneous voice and data, the BlackBerry Bold smartphone even allows users to navigate while on a call.

It is a quad-band EDGE and tri-band HSDPA handset that supports global roaming**** and features dedicated 'send', 'end', and 'mute' keys, smart dialing, speed dialing, conference calling and call forwarding. It also features noise cancellation technology that offsets background noise, a powerful speaker phone and support for polyphonic, mp3 and MIDI ring tones.
Like all BlackBerry smartphones, the BlackBerry Bold gives users the industry's leading mobile messaging solution. It works with BlackBerry® Enterprise Server, which enables advanced security and IT administration within IBM® Lotus® Domino®, Microsoft® Exchange and Novell® GroupWise® environments, as well as BlackBerry® Professional Software for small businesses. It also works with BlackBerry® Internet Service, which gives users access to up to 10 work or personal email accounts (including most popular ISP email accounts), and the BlackBerry® Unite! software for SOHO and home users.
The BlackBerry Bold smartphone comes with a variety of convenient accessories including a stereo headset, travel charger, carrying case or sleeve and USB cable. Users will also be able to personalize their BlackBerry Bold smartphone by purchasing replaceable leather-like backplates that come in a range of colors. The removable / rechargeable 1500 mAhr battery provides multi-hour usage with a target talk time of approximately 5 hours and 13 days standby time.
Accessories for BlackBerry smartphones, including leather holsters and totes, charging pods, premium earphones, the BlackBerry® Remote Stereo Gateway and Bluetooth headsets, are available through retail outlets or online at: www.shopblackberry.com.

Warwick Collins: Gents
Warwick Collins is the author of a couple of superior (I gather) 18th century pastiche novels, The Rationalist and The Marriage of Souls. Those two form part of a trilogy which, so far as I can tell, has yet to be completed, though the second volume was published in 1999. But he has come to my attention for a novella entitled Gents – you can read an extract on the Amazon page – first published in 1997, and which was recommended by Scott Pack recently on his blog.
It tells the story of Ezekiel Murphy, known as Ez, a Jamaican man living in London, who gets a job in an underground public toilet. Two other West Indians, Jason and Mr Reynolds, work there, and the three while away their time mopping and polishing and replacing cakes of disinfectant. Collins imbues the toilets with an otherworldly air, full of resonant silences and "flowing, bouncing light."
The plot comes from Ez's discovery that the toilets are used by men for more than one kind of relief. And scenes of illicit encounters have never been dispatched with greater economy:
When Ez looked again there were two pairs of shoes in the nearest cubicle, facing each other. As he watched, one pair of shoes turned the other way.
And so Ez, Jason and Mr Reynolds come under pressure from the council to reduce the amount of 'cottaging' in the toilets, otherwise they will be closed down. But when they do, this brings the problem back from another angle.
It's impossible to summarise how brilliantly Collins evokes the underground world of the men, and the laconic poetry (and I do mean poetry) with which he imbues their actions and contemplations. In 140 pages of wide type with lots of dialogue, he brings a Fetherlite touch to thoughts of sin, racism, prejudice, family, society and sex. He has some sort of negative witchcraft going on whereby the fewer words he uses, the more powerful and evocative the dialogue and descriptions become. I have quite genuinely begun seeing my workplace toilets (all white reflective tiles and shuddering pipes, just like the ones in Gents) in a new light since reading it.
Gents is one of those rare little gems, like Ben Rice's Pobby & Dingan, that punches so far above its weight that it will effortlessly knock you out.

the 'shelves' review on warwick collins's gents is so spot on. gents is a brilliant modern classic from the hand of a literary master. 'punching' way above his weight is a special attribute of warwick collins and 'the rationalist' is another superbly written masterpiece that should definately be on your 'book-pod' favourites when apple get round to it!

So I had quite the week! Here are a few pictures so you can take it all in! (If you follow me on Instagram…enjoy these again!)
After my workout on Friday, I went and bought wedding stamps and mailed off my Save the Dates!
I've still been having my morning oatmeal for breakfast! Sometimes with egg whites stirred in (and spinach too), sometimes as Egg White Oats, and sometimes with protein powder.
I saw the Valentines Day candy and resisted buying…for now!
I made Zucchini Oat Breakfast bread, Apple Banana Bread, and Cookie Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies!
I made an amazing Asian-style chicken spinach salad that Laura would call "strange but good."
Salad: Spinach, green onions, steamed asparagus, rice vinegar and PB&J chicken (the strange but good part).
For the chicken: first bake or slow cook your chicken with pepper, ginger and Chinese 5 spice. Then, shred your chicken. Warm sugar-free jam (apricot or peach work best here) and drizzle it over your shredded chicken. Mix together PB2 with water (make it thin, so 1/2 Tbs. PB2 + 1/2 Tbs. water) and drizzle that over the chicken. Toss to coat, add it to your salad! Enjoy! Of course, you can use melted peanut butter if you please.
I also received this text from a friend who I didn't even know read my blog! It's so flattering that he not only reads it, but he makes recipes from it! He also told me he used my Cinnamon Spice Candied Nuts for his secret Santa gifts for his coworkers! This put the biggest smile on my face!
The Sweaty Breakdown:
Friday: worked with my trainer- arms and upper body! Totally killer and learned that I have very little upper body strength! I was sore for DAYS!
Saturday: 1 hour of cardio (20 min. bike, 20 min. treadmill, 20 min. elliptical)
Sunday: 1 hour of cardio (15 min. bike, 15 min. elliptical, 15 min. treadmill, 15 min. bike)
Monday: 1 hour of cardio (15 min. elliptical, 15 min. bike, 15 min. elliptical, 15 min. treadmill) – I was SO exhausted from lack of sleep that it all caught up to me around the 45 min. mark, so I walked off the last 15 min., did a good stretch, went home to eat dinner, the went to bed early!
Tuesday: Rest!
Wednesday: worked with my trainer – Legs and Abs!
Thursday: Rest!
The winner of my EnergyBits Giveaway, via random drawing, is Jen!!
Strike up a conversation: What was your favorite workout this week? Did anything exciting happen for you this week?

STAVANGER -- Statoil has drilled another successful appraisal well in the vast Johan Sverdrup oil field in the North Sea. The primary target of appraisal well 16/2-14 in the northwestern section of the discovery was to examine the thickness and properties in Upper Jurassic reservoir rocks near the top of the Johan Sverdrup structure.
The Johan Sverdrup discovery, proven in 2010, is estimated to contain at least 1.8 Bboe, according to the Norwegian Petroleum Directorate. The well encountered a 30-m oil column in Upper Jurassic reservoir rocks. "Well 16/2-14 confirms that this part of the Johan Sverdrup field has the same exceptionally good reservoir with about 30 m being oil saturated," said Gro Haatvedt, Statoil' s senior vice president exploration Norway.
This is the ninth exploration well in production license 265, and was drilled to a vertical depth of 1,960 m below the sea surface at a water depth of 113 m. The Johan Sverdrup discovery is operated by Statoil with a 40% stake. Lundin Petroleum has a 10% stake, Det norske oljeselskap 20% and Petoro 30%.

The stability of an antibiotic depends on its chemical structure, method of isolation (from natural sources or chemical synthesis), and the mechanisms of inactivation. First generation antibiotics isolated from natural sources, such as penicillin, are the most unstable, followed by its semisynthetic derivatives (such as ampicillin and carboxycylin). Aminoglycosides (kanamicin, spectinomycin, etc.) are more stable. So what does this mean for antibiotic storage and usage in the lab?

After spending 10 days in Japan, followed by a week in Korea, my mind is still processing the whole, amazing experience. I visited Japan in 2008 on my round the world trip, and it's still one of my most-loved countries for so many reasons. For now, I'll start by sharing some of my favorite Instagrams from Japan!
Frozen yogurt and freshly made potato chips, drizzled with chocolate sauce at Calbee+ on Takeshita St in Harajuku.
Japanese bookstores have a nice selection of cat magazines. Shocking how much print is NOT dead in Japan. Side note: their fashion magazines come with a purse attached!
One of the things I love about Japan is their dedication to cute ("kawaii") culture. Socks shopping at Mighty Soxer on Takeshita St in Tokyo.
Biking in Karuizawa (& fall colors). Also love the trust factor of bike locks in Japan.
Hot coffee from vending machines – why do we still not have these?
Snow monkeys soaking in their mountain onsen in Yudanaka – one of the most amazing things I've ever seen!
Fall colors from the Shinkansen train from Nagano back to Tokyo.
First stop in Osaka: okonomiyaki for dinner
The best aquarium I've ever visited. Fantastic.
Japan takes photo booths to a whole new level. Another Japan item I thought would have reached American shores by now.
We stopped by a cat cafe in Osaka. It was an… odd experience.
Worth a second visit. Golden Pavilion temple in Kyoto.
Udon in Kyoto.
Love the food "cart" culture along Fukuoka's waterfront.
We spent our last few hours in Japan watching sumo!
Today was one of my favorite days so far. This morning, we took the train to Himeji to see the castle. We were told it's the most visited castle in Japan, but thankfully it's spring, so it wasn't very crowded. I read in my guidebook that you can rent bicycles for free at the train station, so we checked at the info booth, and they had tons of bikes available. It was so much fun riding down the main street towards the massive castle. When we arrived, we parked the bikes outside and took our bike keys with us. The bike locks are a little clamp and spoke with a key, so the lock stays in while you're riding and then you "lock" it and take the key with you. Not totally theft proof, but they're too polite here to steal a bike if it required wire cutters. If only this method worked in Portland.
I spent way too long wandering around in the castle, but it was just so amazing. We also visited the Samurai gardens, before riding back into town for lunch. We parked our bikes, while we walked around the town and then realized too late that we were going to be late for our 3:02pm train. So we sped back to the bike return and then ran, ran, ran to the station. We missed the train by 2 minutes, but we made excellent time. We ended up taking a different route back to Kyoto, testing out our Japan Rail passes with a transfer instead of waiting for an hour at the Himeji station.
After another day of temple roaming in Kyoto, we decided to go geisha spotting in the Gion district. We saw one almost immediately and then didn't see any more, for the rest of the evening. I'm glad I saw 'Memoirs of Geisha' before coming to Japan. It made visiting the Gion District more interesting. After venturing down several side streets and being turned away at several restaurants (apparently this area is notorious for turning foreigners away), we went to a place that serves a local Kyoto specialty. It's a pancake/omelet type dish, with ginger, which really added to it. After dinner, we walked around more and checked out a few of the local places. We ended up taking the metro two stops closer to the hotel, before grabbing a taxi, since they're fairly expensive here. Oh and the ticket machine in the metro had a "help" button, which when pressed, opened a little door and a real person leans out. Maybe it was the Asahis, but it was pretty sweet. And the taxi drivers wear white gloves and the doors open automatically. Too much in this country makes me giggle.
I love Japanese vending machines. This morning I had hot coffee, yes, hot coffee, straight out of a vending machine. And it wasn't one of those stick the cup in and push the button kind either. It came in a can, and it was hot. In Kyoto I even found a vending machine that sells ties and SD memory cards. The Japanese must think we're so uncivilized and low-tech when they come to America. We're way behind the times in terms of vending machines… and toilets.
We arrived in Kyoto at noon, and promptly went in search of lunch. After the monastery food, I was set on pizza. Thankfully, Kyoto station is a mall and a station, so there were endless food choices that gave me a break from the culinary wonders of Japan.
The afternoon was spent visiting several temples and shrines in the Kyoto area. I'm very glad that I used the Frommer's Japan travel guide book to get their star ratings for temples. I get templed, shrined, and pagoda-ed out rather quickly, but I like to walk, so it was great to spend several days walking through Japanese gardens and temple grounds. The Kyoto bus pass is so easy too. The bus route map is color coded and numbered, they make it almost too easy to travel here. :)

Interview over 2 day practical test, using proprietary in-house software (this software has since been dropped for new projects). Several other applicants did not return after lunch of the first day or on the second morning due to the weirdness of the software.

Caption: An integrated platform to discover and validate new oncogenes in animal models of cancer. (A) Genomes of tumors (n=489) obtained from patients are analyzed in a high-throughput fashion to identify genes that are amplified in cancer. (B) Subsequently, short-hairpin RNAs (shRNAs) targeting the entire genome are introduced into cancer cell lines, and genes that are essential for the survival of cancer cells are then identified (n=1825). Combining with data from A, this yielded over 200 (n=206) genes that are both amplified in tumors and essential for cancer cells. Unfortunately, the complexity and sheer volume of data has made dissecting the underlying biology and developing new drugs difficult. (C) RNA interference (RNAi) provides a means to act on candidate oncogenes. However, progress has been stymied by the "delivery" challenge. Here, novel tumor-penetrating nanoparticles carrying siRNA can penetrate into the tumor parenchyma, deliver siRNA therapeutics to tumor cells in a receptor-specific manner, and enables the rapid discovery and validation of gene targets in mouse models of cancer. (D) Follow-up studies can identify the mechanism by which the newly discovered oncogene, ID4, act to render normal epithelial ovarian cells into malignant cancer cells. This image relates to a paper that appeared in the Aug. 15, 2012 issue of Science Translational Medicine, published by AAAS. The paper, by Dr. Y.

Dáil Éireann - Volume 344 - 07 July, 1983
Written Answers. - Capital Gains Tax.
Mr. R. Bruton Mr. R. Bruton
598. Mr. R. Bruton asked the Minister for Finance if he will state in respect of capital gains tax (1) the number of assessments made; (2) the net tax payable as per assessment; (3) the number of cases from which tax was collected; and (4) the net receipt from the tax in 1981 and in 1982.
Minister for Finance (Mr. Dukes) Alan Dukes
Minister for Finance (Mr. Dukes): (1) and (2): the number of capital gains tax assessments made in the year ended 31 December 1981 was 4,249 and the net tax payable was £23,541,550, or an average of £5,540 per assessment. These figures include estimated assessments which may be subject to substantial adjustments yet to be made and also include assessments made in 1981 for earlier years. Similar data are not yet available in respect of assessments made in the year ended 31 December 1982.
(3) and (4): The net receipt of the tax in 1981 and 1982 (in respect of all years of assessment) was as follows:
Statistics are not kept in such a manner as to enable the number of cases making these tax payments to be provided. To obtain this information would require an individual examination of all capital gains tax returns for the years in question and such an examination could only be carried out at a disproportionate cost.
It should be noted that the information given relates only to capital gains tax. Under the Corporation Tax Act, 1976 the chargeable gains of companies arising from disposals made on or after 6 April 1976 are, in general, charged to corporation tax and not to capital gains tax. Statistics are not available which would enable the amount of corporation tax paid or payable on such gains to be given.

Yesterday was Valentines Day.
I haven't written you a letter here in a long time. You're older now – five and A HALF – as you like to say – and you have opinions about what I can say about you online now. All too often I want to take a picture or tell a funny story and you ask me not to (although there are PLENTY of things you demand I take photos of for sharing, too, just not what I want to share). So I'll keep this post short and just include the photos you approved of.
You are crazy about this bandana you found in a bag of old dance costumes we rescued from our church rummage sale. I have to fight to keep you from wearing it every day, and you often put it on right after your bath so that your hair is all hokey pokey when it dries. It looks adorable on you.
Our piano bit the dust, sadly, thanks to the stupid mice we've been battling since our last cat died. They ate away all the felt and it would have cost more to fix than we had. But this Christmas we bought you a portable keyboard which you often bring up to my office to play while I work, and you continue to display an uncanny musical sense. If I have music on in the office you can often pick out the melody on the keyboard. You are remarkable.
As I continue to have a love affair with Pinterest, we've actually begun tackling some craft projects together. Thanks to a smart idea from my friend Kristen we hand-made your Valentines cards for your class. We put together a photo of you, a lollipop, and some stickers and glitter to make 28 cards. You wanted to make a few less but we talked about how even though that one kid wasn't your friend that one time doesn't mean you get to skip giving them a valentine. Kid dynamics in classes are crazy, aren't they?
We often spend Saturday mornings together going to events or other fun stuff, and we often land at the same Mexican restaurant for lunch on those days. The servers all know us and are really nice, and don't yell at you when you raise and lower the window shades repeatedly. We have long, intense talks on those days. On Saturday we spoke at length, again, about death and loss and what happens when you die. Since our friend Moe died, you've been pretty fixated on that topic. I'm so sorry that you know that daddies sometimes die now. It's tough. You are particularly interested in your grandfathers, both of whom died before you were born. So we look at photographs of them often and talk about what they were like. We talk about your brothers, too, and how you miss them and wish you'd met them. We also talk a lot about God and Heaven. You've decided to be a believer like your Grandma, meaning you believe in Jesus, which your Daddy struggles with but accepts (I believe in God but am less sure about Jesus).
But that doesn't mean our lunches aren't fun.
Don't worry, we were only pretending to yell in that picture.
I love you, my sweet girl. You are smart and funny and brave and strong and true. You have a clearer sense of self than I could have ever imagined; my heart hopes you hang on to that for the rest of your life. You live in a house full of yelling and chaos and stress, but one also full of love and games and laughter. I think it's a pretty good balance.
You are the most amazing, beautiful girl. You are my heart. Thank you for letting me be your mom.

Beginning next week, many of central and northern Wisconsin's most prestigious hospitals will be making a change in their naming structure and introducing a new advertising message. Ministry Health Care today announced that it will unify the names of its hospitals, clinics and other operating units by placing "Ministry" at the front of the existing names. The new naming structure will be featured prominently as part of a multimedia advertising campaign scheduled to break May 17.
"The new ads and name change really reflect the work we have been doing for several years," said Ministry Health Care CEO Nick Desien. "Both recognize our commitment to putting patients first and meeting their health care needs in a highly integrated and seamless system of care."
The new ad campaign features the tagline "knowing you better, means treating you better." Created by Boelter + Lincoln of Milwaukee, it uses real Ministry patients and their caregivers, including doctors, nurses and therapists. Its ads feature the strong relationships that exist between patients and their caregivers. The ads will begin running on local television, radio and in regional newspapers during the week of May 17. Outdoor ads can be seen starting the week of May 24 with interactive components to follow in late May or early June.

Beginning later in the month external signage will change at facilities across the Ministry system. The new naming nomenclature becomes effective immediately, and media is requested to refer to individual system facilities beginning with the "Ministry" identification. For example, Saint Joseph's Hospital will now be Ministry Saint Joseph's Hospital; Saint Clare's Hospital will now be Ministry Saint Clare's Hospital; and so on. The one exception in the region will be Howard Young Medical Center in Woodruff, which will retain its existing name in recognition of the contributions of Howard Young to build the facility.
"When a patient enters the Ministry system, they are not simply being treated by health professionals at one hospital or clinic; they are ultimately being cared for by a system of doctors, nurses and specialists," noted Desien. "We want our patients and communities to recognize us as that. Our goal is for this system to be seamless – every employee, at every facility, is working to keep the patient first, no matter where the patient is receiving care."
Keeping patients first is the every day goal for the over 9,000 employees at Ministry Health Care wholly owned operations. Founded over 120 years ago by the Sisters of the Sorrowful Mother to meet the health care needs of communities in the region, Ministry now operates 12 hospitals and 21 clinics in communities throughout central and northern Wisconsin and eastern Minnesota. Ministry Health Care is also a joint sponsor of Affinity Health System in the Fox Valley with Wheaton Franciscan Healthcare and sponsors Flambeau Hospital in Park Falls with Marshfield Clinic.
The system provides primary and specialty medical services, as well as hospital, home health care, hospice, long-term care and dialysis services.
Ministry's mission as a Catholic health care system is to further the healing ministry of Jesus by continually improving the health and well-being of all people, especially the poor, in the communities it serves.
