"Can a recipe be more easy to make. One question - how do I eat this without the beans falling off? That's the only reason I gave it 4 in stead of 5. It's messy. Unless - I'm supposed to use a knife and fork? Maybe that could be included in the directions? Otherwise - clever and tasty idea!"
"Woah! A little too sweet for me - BUT HAS POTENTIAL. Let me try this again in the next few days with diet sprite and see if that makes it a little less sweet. If that doesn't work, I'll try it with club soda a re-write my review (with hopefully more stars). Thanks honey - please don't take it personally, There are people who really love very s..."
"You know this reminds me a bit of a Bellini - only without the alcohol. Very refreshing. I even made it for a holiday party, but this time, instead of sparkling water, I used sparkling wine. YUM-O! Thank you for sharing this Sharon! *** MADE AND REVIEWED FOR ZAARTAG ***"
"I think a little clarification is needed here and I'll be more than happy to remake and re-review this recipe. There is a call for 1 tablespoon of mayo, then 1 teaspoon of mayo - but the directions don't say if I'm supposed to do something different with the extra mayo??? If it's supposed to be all mixed together why not just say "1 and 1/2 tabl..."
"Ph My Goodness - it's Thanksgiving in a Sandwich! I left out the mayo - who needs it with this recipe!? Make sure you have a slice of pumpking pie to go with this. *** MADE AND REVIEWED FOR ZAARTAG ***"
"This was good - but sooooooo bad for you. But I'm giving it 5 stars because the family loved it and for kids: you can sneak vegetables into the recipe and they'll inhale it. This is a great recipe to hide vegetables in so you can get your kids to eat them. Thanks for sharing!*** MADE AND REVIEWED FOR ZAARTAG***"
"Not the most simple recipe, but well worth the effort. I liked the mix of cumin, paprika with peanut - great combination. I also used Franks Red Hot. Thank you for sharing this Pattikay!*** MADE AND REVIEWED FOR ZAARTAG***"
"I'm Swiss and we invented Fondue, and I consider myself a fondue expert. I've been taken to a "Melting Pot" restaurant, and felt it was a novelty Americanized version of one of our national dishes. However, this recipe intrigued me. So I gave it a try and I was actually impressed at how this really made a very tasty dessert fondue. Even though ..."
"You've got to be kidding me - this was AWESOME!!!! I've made a similar recipe with beef, but until I saw this - it never occured to me you could make this with chicken. (Although - I'm going to try this again with beef because I think this is a better recipe) The sauce couldn't be more pefect. I did omit the sugar, because I'm trying to limit ..."
"Outstanding!!!!!!! This is the type of recipe that leaves you lacking the words to describe the experience. I wanted to get the "1950's" experience- so I used curry POWDER instead of PASTE. (If it was outstanding with POWDER - I can just imagine what this will be like with curry PASTE!) Thank you for sharing. I'm sorry it took me so long to su..."

| self help groups | local planning | organic farming | case studies |
Organic farming is a system for systematic and synergistic harnessing of energies from cosmos, mother earth, plants and cow for quality production and proper maintenance of ecosystem. It integrates energies from cosmos, earth, plant and cow in a systematic way to meet out the following issues.
Yield potentials equal or better than those obtained after application of optimum doses of agro-chemicals
Continuous improvement in physico, chemical and biological soil properties
Par excellence produces quality with respect to nutrition, appearance and better shelf
The issues involved Eco friendly and cost effective technology
Four systems of organic farming are prevalent in India: Biodynamic Krishi, Rishi Krishi, Panchgavya Krishi and Agnihotra Krishi. Biodynamic Krishi has a strict sowing and planting calendar. Rishi Krishi involves boomi sanskar and application of amrit pani. Panchgavya consists of five products from cow; i.e. dung, urine, milk, curd and ghee. When suitably mixed along with sugar cane juice, tender coconut water, ripe banana and toddy and incubated for a week, this mixture is a wonderful tonic to promote vegetative and reproductive growth of plants.

ARRANGING FLOWERS Color, Color, Color Color not only creates a visual statement, but sets the mood and communicates emotion.� When arranging flowers it is best to choose a color scheme that appeals to you and the gift recipient.� The possibility of color combinations is endless and inspiration can come from countless sources.� The most modern approach is to use a monochromatic color scheme.� This style uses the shades and tints of a singular color, whether it be a variety of flowers or a simple bouquet of the same flower.� An example would be to pair white roses with white lilies or to elegantly arrange a group of stunning red roses. Another option is to use complementary colors when arranging.� These are colors that create a contrast with both warm and cool hues.� An example of this would be to pair red gerbera daisies with white or lavender roses. A third option is to choose a color scheme and use colors that are in harmony.� This means that the colors are either all warm colors, such as yellow asiatic lilies and orange roses; or cool colors, such as blue hydrangea and lavender roses. No matter what color scheme or style you choose, if the flowers are fresh and at full bloom they are sure to make a statement; whether it be a bouquet full of cheer, romance, or compassion. Taking Shape When receiving a bouquet of flowers or choosing the perfect flowers to enhance your living space, it is important know a little something about arrangement and style.� If arranged properly your bouquet will bring you enjoyment for many days and add to the beauty of each bloom. Today's floral designs are more natural and unstructured.� Although there are many different shapes that can be formed when arranging a bouquet, below are some common and popular shapes. Domed – the flowers are tightly massed within a vessel to have a domed effect on top, the outer edge looking smooth and seamless. Straight & Tall – tall, straight-stemmed flowers in tall, straight vases.� This usually shows off the beauty of the stem, as well as the bloom.� Free-form – working with the natural curvature of each stem for loose and informal appeal. Grouped – a similar group of flowers (whether it be in color or in texture) are grouped in a cluster, usually in a small vase. There are also many different techniques to arranging flowers.� Most people arrange directly into the vase.� This is an easy and spontaneous way to create.� You can also use what is called spiraling technique. This is done in the hands and creates a more structured arrangement that locks into place.� Instructions for this technique as is follows:
The Perfect Vase The possibilities for the perfect container for your flowers are endless in today's home d�cor market.� There are a variety of shapes, sizes, colors, textures and materials from which to choose depending on your home and the type of bouquet you are creating. When selecting a vase for your bouquet, keep in mind that the size of the opening will reflect the overall look of your arrangement.� A small opening will create a tight compact arrangement, whereas a large opening will allow your flowers to spread apart creating a fuller, more casual look. Trumpet, Cylindrical A tall trumpet vase, such as the Vera Wang 10" With Love Vase, allows a beautiful rose bouquet to casually splay while a cylindrical vase, such as the Vera Wang 12" Fidelity Vase, is the perfect way to display lush hydrangea clusters. Rectangle, Square Tightly packed flowers in a geometric vase, such as the Vera Wang 10"; Cabochon Vase, can add a touch of modernity and style to any environment. Hourglass, Narrow-Waisted The curvature of an hourglass vase will add a touch of grace and elegance to a beautiful mixed arrangement while a more geometric vase with a nipped waist will add a more modern touch. Bud A graceful calla lily or a small nosegay placed in a Vera Wang Love Knots Bud Vase is the perfect way to bring the perfection of a floral bloom into your home. Round, Fishbowl A tight bouquet of white peonies in a Vera Wang Duchesse Rose Bowl adds a fragrant and feminine accent to any room. Size & Proportion: The size of the arrangement will determine what size container you select to complement it.� A general rule of thumb is that the size of the vase should be one-half to one-third the size of the total arrangement.� For example, an 18" rose bouquet requires a 6-9" vase. Other Tips:
Create Your Look When arranging flower remember it should be a personal expression.� Do not be influenced by what others have done in the past, but use new textures, different containers, and fun color combinations to make it your own.� Below are some tips and �ideas that may inspire your next arrangement:

I wanted to give a quick update on how this second pregnancy is going, as well as share our new baby's gender (if you haven't read the news on Facebook yet) and the baby's name.
First of all, tomorrow I will be 19 weeks, and things are going perfectly normal, which is still a crazy concept for me to truly comprehend. At our last ultrasound, 3 weeks ago, the baby's brain structure looked normal, her profile looked normal, her heart looked normal, and there were no signs of a cleft lip. Praise the Lord! It's such a foreign thing to hear actual good news at an ultrasound—with Sophia it was just visit after visit of doctors telling us our baby was going to die. I admit, I still struggle with the fear of losing the precious one and the transferring of Sophia's illnesses unto this baby, but it's something I am working on. With God's help I hope to be able to continue to enjoy a healthy, normal pregnancy and receive it with joy instead of fear.
Anyways, on to the big news!
We're having a little…………………..
…girl! (in case that wasn't clear from this photo.)
And we've decided to name our precious little girl:
Thank you to all of you who have been praying for Charlotte and myself (as well as Dave!), and please continue to pray that this pregnancy will remain healthy and normal, and that in 4 1/2 months we will be able to have our sweet girl home with us.

I picked up this sphinx chamberstick at an antiques shop in Putnam, CT yesterday. Do you think it's deco or nouveau and any guess at the maker and age? There was one on ebay last week or so and they said egyptian revival 1880's. Not so sure about that.On the bottom are the numbers 8345. Thanks, Richie |

Sorry, the number on the bottom is 8475 |
Does it matter? It's great! Looks Egyptian Revival to me....but a rose by any other name....and that's a wonderful piece! You'll never know for sure unless you can locate another in a catalog. Linda c |

Hello! I'm here looking for a bit of hope so please offer some needed advice/insight if you can
I am two weeks pp with my little Willow and a bit heavier than after I had my son (only about 5lbs but it still gets to me) I trhink I need to loose about 14lbs to get to where I'm happiest.
I was wondering if it took longer was any more difficult than with DC 1? I'm only 2 years older but this LO isn't as hungry as her brother and I'm woried the weight wont 'fall off' like it did with him.
Also I didn't retain weight with B-feeding last time, Is there a possiblity my body will this time? I'm really scared of that....I have had emotional problems with my weight for many years and dont want to go barmy again..lol..not nice.
I know it's only two weeks but I'm already obsessing I cant get in my clothes. I think I need to padlock them for another 4 months!
Any help really appreciated,
love xxx
anyone? x

I bounced back the best after my ds2....it was my dd that did me in. I'm the kind of person that loses weight easily while breastfeeding. Breastfeeding was SO good to me. LOL. So I would say that if you lost weight while b/f your first child, then you probaby will with this one (I did with all 3 of mine). You're only 2 weeks since delivering, so give it some time.

Thank you so much for answering, I'm feeling really low about my body so you have helped just by reminding me to have a bit of patience-even though I know it I need to here it..
Do you think it was something to do with having a girl that made it worse for you after her? I know it sound weird but all my friends with girls did struggle to loose the weight while my friends with boys didn't..I hope I'm imagining it!
I'm def going to B-feed for as long as I can. Praying it works the charm the 2nd time round!
Thanks again xx
No...I think it was more my age (33 years old when I had her). I gained the same amount of weight during her pregnancy as I did the others. I also think it had to do with knowing that she was my last child....after ds2 I wanted to lose weight to ttc again (pink)! so I had more motivation.
It will come, don't worry! And yes - b/f for as long as you can, it will help!
Thankyou! Yes that does make sense..your answers have chilled me out a bit.lol..
I'm hoping in 6 months time I will look back and wonder what I was freaking out about!

Ah thanks for your reply. I think the breastfeeding is starting to cut in now! I'm back into most of my pp trousers now-but my boobs are making it difficult to fit into my old tops..lol...I think it was easier with my son as I had him in the Autumn and wore huge jumpers through out the winter. It's trickier in the summer as I'm used to being totally flat chested and all my tops are bought accordingly!
I'm nearly 9 weeks pp now so not doing bad

I just wanted to check in and see how you are doing. For me it was actually easier after my second than my first to lose the weight. However, I also think I started trying sooner after DS2. Just get out there and get moving somehow. Find what motivates you. I go to the YMCA and do classes. I've met all the girls who do the classes now too, and it's like a club. We're all motivating to each other. We even go out on some Saturday nights to go dancing together (with the instructors too). I like the Zumba (they call it dance fusion) and step aerobic classes, but have done the kickboxing and core strength classes too. Just find something that you like. Of course, I believe bfing helps too. So, keep it up if you can. I'm was 168 pounds when I walked into the hospital to have DS2, and less than 1 year later, I weighed 120, and I'm still there. It took hard work though. Oh, and at the one year mark, it seemed my boobs dropped 2 sizes, and I was still nursing. UGH! I miss them!
May 28, 2008 and May 30, 2010
Still room for at least one more... ttc mid 2012
Hello! Ah that's sweet of you. Well I def not losing it as fast as DS..I'd love to lie and say I am but beng honest with my DS it literally fell off.
She's not as hungry and doesn't want to eat as much so I really think that is to do with it. I am still losing just slowly and I think that will be the trend.I think boys are better for the body-they take more energy to grow and feed! Hence a bigger calorie burn for mummy! All my friends with boys lost the weight asap.
I haven't dieted at all so far so am making changes now. I haven't weighed myself just going on clothes. In a few months I'll get the guts to get on the scale and see the damage! Just can't deal with that now. Ever since my crazy days I am totaly scale phobic.
I am now 13 weeks pp and I KNOW I look fine but I am used to being skinny and to me I feel like a lump..I know I sound one of those really irritating woman but I hold my hands up and say yeah, I'm a bit mental but what ya gonna do? :)
My tight summer dresses are eyeing me up in the wardrobe mocking me-haha...
I think I'm the only woman ever that can't deal with having boobs-DH loves them! Tough for him they're for the bubba....Baby comes first, 2nd is mummy's weight obsession, 3rd is daddy's needs
Haha! That's right
13 weeks is nothing! You just kinda have to go with it at this point. And like you said, every baby is different. Both my boys were big eaters, but it came off better with DS2.
I'd step away from the scale, and just try to stay active and eat healthy. Summer clothes do suck! I think they have a mind of their own.
Like I said-boys are good for the figure-lol..you are so right-I try to ignor it and think in '7 months time' instead of next week...easier said than done though.[quote user="Blonde Baby:
Summer clothes do suck! I think they have a mind of their own.
They really do! The buggers..

Mr. T's Fashion Show. Yes, You Heard Me Right.
Since winter will be fast upon us….if it is not "officially" winter where you are, it unofficially is because there is snow on the ground…you must be thinking of spring clothing, right? Wrong, unless you are in the fashion world and already know what the hot color for Spring 2009 is (YELLOW) and are thinking in terms of Fall 2009. In otherwords, it is possible for you to be thinking about fashion shows. There are many people whose names are but one word and you know who they are….Kate, Donatella, Marc, et al. There is probably one name that is more widely known than them all. That is "T," or MISTER T to YOU. That's right, more households in the world know who Mr. T is than Spade, Moss, Versace, or Jacobs.
What is my point? Did you know that at one time the fashion world AND Mr. T were somehow intertwined? Yes, it has burned a hole in my retina way back when, and I present it now to you. Before watching "MR. T's Fashion Show," make sure your coffee, tea, or hot chocolate is not in your hand and is safely on a flat surface so you don't get it up your nose or spit it at anyone by accident while chortling in either recognition because you dressed like this, or because of the complete absurdity of Jeff's dancing. I nearly lost my Rock and Rye over this one. Maybe if I get my own show, they will put an animated frame around my face and put my name in big letters next to me so you know who I am, just like Marta gets. Count how many of these items were in your closet…be honest now:

About Me Comfort-oriented, Conservative
Would recommend to others. I work outside in subzero weather and these are the only boots I have found that keep my feet warm. They are a little heavy on the feet but well worth it.
warm boot
By Bob T.
from Earlton, NY
See all my reviews
Needed warm steel-toe boot to work in unheated outbuilding. These are way better than previous workboots, buy still get cold after several hours of low temps. I otdered size larger than usual and I'm glad I did. Insullation is so thick that I have a tight fit with heavy wool socks. Boots are heavy, and so BIG that it felt like I was wearing snow shoes at first, before getting used to them.

Great Boot
By Mark F Barnes
from Montgomery TX
This is the second pair of these I have had. I use them at work in the frozen north Alaska. My last pair lasted 5 years and are still useable, just thought I'd get me a new pair for this winter, and will keep the others as backup.

I agree with the reviewer from Union City, California. Great winter drink to warm you up inside. I might make this thoughout the season.
We made these to conclude our Irish celebration (my belated Dad's birthday) and they were perfection. Some of our guests have had this coffee at the Buena Vista Hotel. Served it with the Chocolate Stout cake recipe from Epicurious and it was awesome. Thanks for a great recipe to add to our Irish gustatory repetoire.

How To Clean Burnt Sugar In An Oven
One of the worse nightmares for a housewife is burnt sugar. It's almost impossible to remove, and some people generally consider stoves and ovens ruined when there's burnt sugar on them. However, there's still hope, don't give up – here's a method for cleaning burnt sugar from an oven:
You will need some household ammonia, a glass dish, some kind of eye protection, a plastic ice windshield scraper, a heavy duty scouring pad, a pair of rubber gloves, some paper towels, and oven cleaner.
1. Before you start cleaning, check if the oven is turned off and has cooled off.
2. Put on your eye protection and the pair of rubber gloves before you start working with the ammonia. Pour some in the glass dish until you fill half of it, and then put it on the oven rack. Close the oven door before you remove the gloves and eye protection.
3. Leave it like that for 12 hours. During that time, you mustn't use the oven. The ammonia fumes will loosen the sugar, as well as all other stains and dirt on the inside of the oven.
4. Put on the rubber gloves and the eye protection, and only then can you open the oven again.
5. Take the dish out, dispose of the ammonia in the appropriate manner, and keep on your protection until the ammonia is all gone.
6. Don't take off the gloves, get the ice scraper and start working on removing the sugar and other chunks of whatever there is inside. The scraper is plastic, so it won't damage the oven walls.
7. Use the paper towels to gather the debris that have been scraped off.
8. When you've gathered most of it, get the scouring pad and continue scrubbing away what's left of the mess on the oven walls. From time to time, use the paper towels to wipe loose gunk.
9. Once you stop making any progress and you think you've done what you can, spray the walls with oven cleaner.
10. Read the label to see how long you have to leave it there, and when it has passed, wipe it with a clean cloth or paper towels.
11. Wipe the whole oven with a wet cloth.
12. When it has dried of, the oven will look like new.
Be careful when working with the ammonia, as its fumes are strong and very dangerous to breathe in. Learn what the proper way to dispose of it is and don't let it come in contact with skin or eyes.
If you're worried that someone may open the oven while the dish with ammonia is inside, tape it shut and put a sign on the door. Don't let children come near ammonia.
Always read the manufacturer's instructions on the ammonia's label, as they describe proper use, storage and disposal.

Lists: Our favorite awkward moments from the VMAs
By Allison Stewart
The most memorable moments at the MTV Video Music Awards aren't the shocking ones - MTV hasn't been genuinely shocking in years - but the awkward ones, the ones involving cringeworthy kisses (Michael Jackson and Lisa Marie Presley, Madonna/Britney/Christina) or, for some reason, men in thongs (Howard Stern, that thing that happened to Eminem that time).
While nothing can top last year's Swift/West I'mma let you finish Olympiad of awkward, Click Track has compiled a list of our other favorite wince-inducing VMA moments. Leave yours in the comments.
5. Justin Timberlake disses "The Hills" girls, 2007
Award winner Timberlake snubbed award presenters Lauren Conrad and company, refusing to either acknowledge their presence or accept his award from them before demanding that MTV play more videos instead of reality shows. Video footage of the encounter seems to have been scrubbed from the internet, but its gracelessness, and Timberlake's unaccountable ungentlemanliness, speaks for itself.
4. Jordin Sparks slut shames, 2008
Sparks divides world into virgins and "sluts," briefly becomes Fox News poster girl.
(Martha and Busta before their convictions, and more, after the jump.)
3. Martha Stewart and Busta Rhymes present an award together, 1997
We can't find video for this, either (we're guessing it's because all existing footage has understandably burst into flames). Basically, Stewart and Busta presented the "Best Dance Video" Award to the Spice Girls after trading really awesome recipes and conducting an in-depth discussion of Busta's stop-time flow. Kidding! Actually, they just bantered awkwardly for a while.
2. Michael Jackson accepts the Artist of the Millennium Award from Britney Spears, 2002
Problem was, the Artist of the Millennium award doesn't exist. Jackson was actually getting a made-up award, invented to ensure his attendance.
1. Fiona Apple gets award, complains about award, 1997
She lost us at "Maya Angelou."

It's only the malicious press that considers the Jackson/Presley kiss "cringe-worthy." I thought it was sweet, but then I'm not out to destroy anyone with words. Also, you're behind the times. MTV admitted that, yes, they intended to give Jackson the Artist of the Millennium Award. Here's the link. Next time do your research, you hack.
Posted by: SoCalGal2 | September 10, 2010 1:45 AM | Report abuse
Actually, after the ceremony, MTV called the award a misunderstanding. It wasn't until after Jackson died (and you'll note that the date on the link you provided was the day after MJ's death) they pretended they meant to give it to him all along. As for the kiss, we'll just have to disagree on that.

You can create special cards and invitations using a few simple scraps, sewing notions and imagery from The Vintage Workshop. To create this card you will need:
Card stock in colors that coordinate with your chosen image - we used black, gold and cream
Scrap piece of burlap
metal zipper
embroidery floss in a coordinating color
plain card stock to print image on
double sided tape
Step 1: Print your favorite image onto the card stock. We used SI0224- Turkey Wishes. We then cut out the turkey and pumpkins. You can just mount the entire image in the next step if you wish.
Step 2: We printed our message - Happy Thanksgiving - onto the gold card stock. (You can eliminate this step by just printing out a vintage image with a message already on it.)
Step 3: We cut out the gold card stock into the size we wanted and adhered the turkey using double sided tape.
Step 4: Layout your burlap scraps on top of the card. Using the finished card background as a pattern, cut out a rectangle of the burlap. Then fold in half and mark the center fold on the back of the burlap. Then fold the other direction and again mark the center fold on the back of the burlap. You should now have two crossing lines on the back of your scrap. Now draw a line from your center point to the two top corners. This will form a Y. Cut along the diagonal lines to the center point and then ONLY straight down the center to the bottom. See the sample image above to verify what parts you are cutting out. To secure edges, you might want to zig-zag all edges using matching thread or use Fray-check.
***HINT: Use burlap printed scrapbook paper instead of the real fabric. Just follow the same directions above and instead of sewing in the zipper (although you can sew to paper) you could simply glue or tape the zipper to the paper.
Step 5: Hand or machine stitch the zipper to the burlap. Start at the bottom with the zipper closed (zipped up). Stitch each side up to where the diagonal begins. Then unzip the zipper to this point. Stitch the zipper sides to each side of the burlap. See image above for reference.
Step 6: Using the embroidery floss, use two strands to hand stitch using large stitches the burlap piece to the card starting from the back up through the front. Don't worry about the stitches on the back - they are covered in the next step. If you don't intend to unzip the zipper, it is easy to stitch the sides of the burlap if you use double sided tape to adhere the burlap to the card first. If you want to be able to unzip the zipper, you will should NOT adhere the burlap to the card.
Step 7: Now we adhered the finished card to the black card stock and cut around the edges leaving about 1/4″ showing. Then mounted it again on cream and again left about 1/4″ showing. You can then write your personalized message or party information on the back.
What a fun way to invite friends and family to dinner or say thank you to your host or hostess. Until next time…

Great tips! I don't know any others but I'm sure other people know tips.
Hello! Just got back from WDW and as usual, had a great time! I used a lot of tips and tricks I learned from these forums and figured I'd start a new one to share what I learned on this trip. Getting photos and signatures from characters is a magical experience, but I found interacting with them brings the experience up a couple of levels. I thought I'd share some of the things I learned, as well as looking forward to seeing some of your interaction tips!
Buzz Lightyear- Press the red button on his left hand side. He shuts down! Press it again and he springs back to life!
Woody- Yell "Reach for the sky!" He throws his hands up and looks around to see who has the draw on him! When he realizes it's you he shows a sign of relief!
Cinderella- Ask your little one to dance with her
Aurora Rose- Ask your little one to sing "Keys to the kingdom" or "Once upon a dream"
Donald Duck- Ask if he's grumpy today.
Can anyone offer any others?

Great tips. I wish I'd known about the Buzz Lightyear tip a couple of years ago when I had my picture taken with him. All he did was rub the top of my head. lol
mini-V What will you celebrate?
Adult daycare for the kid inside you.
When I came upon Baloo and King Louie on my last trip (solo) I hammed it up with jazzy "hey, what's happening, man" and other phrases from the 60s. They got into it and we had a quick but good little jam session right there.
Last time I was there, a CM told me to yell tick-tock tick-tock while clapping my arms together like an aligator the next time I saw Capt. Hook. Well when I saw him and did it, he ran away and then turned around and angerly waved his hook at me. It was great!

It sounds silly, but when I meet a character I'm just too excited to do really anything! How old am I again? Good tips though. I'll have to work on it for next time.
When you wish upon a star.....
Adults are only kids grown up, anyway. WD
...That's the real trouble with the world. Too many people grow up. WD
"For those who get it, no explanation is necessary. For those who don't, no explanation will do."
These are great tips, the kids have written these down in their holiday planners x x
I always crow at Peter Pan during Spectromagic, and in most instances he turns back towards me, cups his hands around his mouth, and crows back. I've also done the "Crocodile" thing to Captain Hook a few times, to which he usually replied by pointing, shaking a fist, or waving his hook at me.

''The Wire'': Breaking trust is hard to do
This week's episode was a night of breakups. Not the romantic kind this isn't Sex and the City but several long-standing political and emotional relationships disintegrated. Although they've been drinking partners since season 1, the boozy pairing of McNulty and Bunk seems to be finally dead. While Bunk was booting on the curb of an Irish pub, McNulty was sipping his club soda with lime. Bunk is definitely the scorned one in this duo, drowning his sorrow in shots of whiskey.
Stoic, solid Michael also found that the only person he can rely on his little brother Bug is beginning to move away from him. When a long-absent father figure returned from jail notice that Bug said ''my dad,'' not ''our dad,'' so it seems Michael has a different father Michael became unhinged. When he found the paroled dad helping Bug with his math homework, Michael shooed him away and retreated even deeper into his psychological shell. It's clear that Michael needs Bug just as much as the younger boy needs his big brother.
Anyone who's been through one knows that's there's no such thing as a mutual breakup. Take the partnership between Dep. Ops. Rawls and Commissioner Burrell. The two have been scheming, spinning, and politicking for four seasons while the Royce regime was in power. On this week's show, Rawls decided the relationship was no longer convenient for him, throwing Burrell under the bus when Mayor-elect Carcetti came calling. The scene in Rawls office was priceless. ''We were a good team, you and me,'' the commissioner said. Rawls looked at him flatly and said, ''We were.'' The sour look on Burrell's face as if he had just swallowed something rotten revealed a fistful of emotions: fury, shock, and plain old pain. We'll see if Rawls' run for the top spot is successful; it's doubtful that Carcetti will give the commissioner slot to a white man, but Daniels seems too untested, leaving who, exactly? As for Daniels, it was about time that the guy got some rewards for being an intelligent, honorable, and seriously dutiful crime fighter.
Marlo's two main soldiers, Snoop and Chris Partlow, are just as loyal as any civil servant; it's just that they like to murder and maim instead of protect and serve. They finished off at least two New York competitors in tonight's show, while a creepy scene found them teaching new recruits the tricks of the assassin's trade. As we know, no bodies have appeared yet, but they will soon. Here's a question: Prop Joe slickly persuaded Marlo to stop ''disappearing'' the bodies, in order to send a message to the competing New York gangs, but is that the real reason? I think Prop Joe might be setting Marlo up. Once the bodies start coming, so does the heat from ace detectives like Freamon, Bunk (brilliant in his dissection of Old Faced Andre's deceit), and Greggs. Yes, the hazed and teased Detective Greggs finally proved her sleuthing skills last week. In a classic bit of Wire-style irony, when she finally solved the dead-witness case a stray bullet killed the poor guy her detective work disproved the theory that helped Carcetti into office. Talk about a cruel twist of fate: If Royce hadn't tried to bury the case, then the incumbent mayor might still be swiveling around in that baronial leather office chair. That plot point embodied one of creator David Simon's favorite points: Life takes seemingly random, often unfair, and typically unexpected turns.
Tonight's episode was called ''Corner Boys,'' and it included plenty of footage of the school's misfits misbehaving down in the basement. But Bunny Colvin and the academics had a breakthrough, one much like Prez's. If you hide the lesson plans and learning under the guise of hood-friendly subjects like gambling and dealing, then the students will pay attention. Those corner kids down in the basement class aren't stupid, just troubled and misguided. But as Bunny said, ''Can we have them learn on faith alone?'' When the subject is something unfamiliar, will they care?
Some questions till next week: Did Herc mess up by lying to Marimow? Should Daniels have vented to Carcetti about Burrell and Rawls? Is Namond going to be able to keep dealing? And was Bunk being a traitor to the police force when he tried to convert Holley and Crutchfield to his murder theory?

The Biewer Terrier, also known as the Biewer Yorkshire Terrier a la Pom Pon, the Biewer Yorkie or just the Biewer, is a fairly new toy terrier breed. It has not yet been recognized by the American Kennel Club, but is recognized by the American Rare Breed Association (ARBA) and of course by their own American breed club, the Biewer Terrier Club of America (BTCA).
The average Biewer weighs between 4 and 8 pounds and stands up to 8 ½ inches in height at the withers. Their single coat is long, straight and silky and comes in white/blue/black and white/gold/tan. It requires regular attention to keep it tangle-free, much like human hair. These tiny terriers are reported to be happy-hearted and almost child-like, and they make extraordinary companions in large or small households. The Biewer Terrier does well with children and other animals and bonds closely with its people. These are playful, mischievous little dogs that can be pushy. Despite their small stature, they are sturdy, active and alert. They are not known to be yappy barkers.
The Biewer Terrier came to be its own breed as a result of a Yorkshire Terrier puppy born in Germany in January of 1984 that had an extreme amount of white patterning throughout his coat. This unusual puppy, named Scheefloeckchen von Friedheck, caused his breeders, Werner and Gertrud Biewer, to wonder whether their Yorkies carried a recessive piebald gene, which apparently they did. Over the next several years, the Biewers bred for the piebald gene
Biewer Terriers are a toy breed with a personality ten times larger then their tiny bodies might suggest. They love to be the center of attention and will do whatever it takes to be the star of the show. Biewers may look fragile and aloof, with their long shiny coats (often held out of their faces by bows or clips), but as with most terrier breeds, Biewers are fearless creatures, quick to posture against dogs
Biewer Terriers are tiny, elegant tricolored terriers with a whimsical attitude toward life. They have long, silky, flowing hair that parts naturally and evenly down the middle of the back. They are either square, or slightly longer than they are tall. They carry their plumed tails in "teacup" fashion, meaning it is carried high. The ears are pointed and erect with silky fringes of hair that trails off the sides. Biwers have round, sparkling eyes
The saying goes, "a picture is worth a thousand words". Check out the many different Biewer Terrier Pictures and Biewer Terrier images. Get an in depth look at the Biewer Terrier and see the many things that this breed has to offer.
The overall appearance is that of an elegant longhaired tri colored toy terrier with the hair parting down the middle and hanging straight and evenly on both sides of the dog, as though a comb had been used to part the hair from the nose to the end of the body. The back is level, with height at shoulders being equal to height of the rump. Although the outline of the dog gives the appearance
The Biewer Terrier Club of America, Inc. is a non-profit organization comprised of both National and International members. Its members consist of breeders, exhibitors and Biewer Terrier pet owners.The diversity of its membership is an asset to the club with some members having opted to train their dogs in the fields of service and therapy work in addition to the show ring and for breeding programs. The rewards reaped by such work are insurmountable. Whether
The Biewer Breed Club International, referred to as the BBCI, is dedicated to the preservation of the breed. The goals range from the serious breeder who strives for the best they can breed, to the owner who is striving to win in the show ring, to the pet owner who just wants this wonderful breed as a companion.The BBCI have members from all over the world, ranging from Germany, Canada, South America, and currently in

Following months of intensive voting with over 12,000 readers getting involved, STUFF magazine Singapore officially unveiled its Top 6 Gadget Ambassadors 2012/2013 during a blast of a party at DREAM Clarke Quay.
This year's campaign was so intense that two girls tied for the sixth position, resulting in an unprecedented seven girls for our Top 6 Gadget Ambassadors.
A Yangtastic turnout
Hosted by celebrity blogger Dawn Yang, the party saw around 800 people turn up to the shindig.
Entertainment was taken care of by two hours of much-welcomed free flow, rolling basslines by DJ The Electric Ambassadors from X-mini and a rousing live performance by four-piece band TABULA.
More after the break...
A huge thank you to...
Of course, all of this was made possible thanks to the generosity and support of our sponsors, namely our Presenter and Digital Imaging Partner Canon Singapore, Official Computer partner Lenovo, Official Timepiece, Citizen and Official Headphone and Earphone Partner Lenbrook Asia, who provided the gadget goodies up for grabs.
Altogether, our sponsors gave away close to $2,500 in prizes to each of the Top 6 Gadget Ambassadors, and our Ambassador with the most number of votes, Victoria Yeo, also received a Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 11S worth $1,399 for her sterling efforts.
Everyone's a winner
The rest of the Gadget Ambassadors didn't walk away empty handed either, with almost $2,000 in prizes to thank them for their participation.
And not forgetting our readers - seven lucky Stuff-lovers also won some gadget goodies from the sponsors for simply getting involved to vote for their favourites during the campaign.

High Risk Heart Surgery Procedures
Coronary Revascularization
Coronary revascularization, also known as coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), is a procedure in which blood is rerouted around one or more clogged coronary arteries in order to improve blood flow to the heart muscle. The new connections are established using arteries and/or vein grafts taken from the patient's body.
Coronary revascularization is typically recommended for heart failure patients who have left main coronary artery disease; narrowing of at least three of the major coronary arteries, including the left anterior descending artery; decreased ventricular function (as indicated by the size of the heart or ejection fraction); or diabetes mellitus.
In many cases, cardiac function will improve dramatically after CABG. In patients with blockages in at least two major vessels, CABG has been shown to be more effective than angioplasty in reducing symptoms, long-term mortality, need for re-intervention, and long-term health-care costs.
Many hospitals do not perform CABG on patients with severely compromised left ventricular function, considering the risks too high. However, many of the risks can be significantly reduced by using off-pump and minimally invasive surgical techniques, which are available at NYU.
Septal Myotomy
Some cases of heart failure are due to hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy, a disease of unknown origin that causes the heart muscle to thicken and the septum (the muscular wall separating the right and left ventricles) to stiffen, limiting the heart's ability to pump blood. Treatment usually begins with calcium-channel blockers or beta-blockers, which slow the heart rate and relax blood vessels, thereby improving blood flow. A surgical procedure called septal myomectomy should be considered for patients who do not respond to medical therapy or who have left ventricular outflow tract obstruction, a blockage of the blood exiting from the heart. In a septal myotomy, the surgeon removes a portion of the septum. This eases the obstruction, which relieves symptoms and often slows the progression of disease
Surgical Ventricular Restoration
Surgical ventricular restoration (the Dor procedure) is a treatment option for patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy - heart failure caused by a heart attack. After a heart attack, portions of the left ventricle may become scarred, causing the muscle to thin and bulge out, a condition known as a ventricular aneurysm. Once an aneurysm forms, the heart must work harder in order to pump enough blood throughout the body. Eventually, the heart weakens and enlarges, resulting in heart failure.
In ventricular restoration surgery, the surgeon removes the dysfunctional areas of the left ventricle and "remodels" the heart, restoring its normal size and shape. The procedure is often performed in combination with coronary revascularization or mitral valve repair.
Surgical ventricular restoration has been shown to slow the progression of heart failure, reduce clinical symptoms, delay the need for transplantation, and improve long-term survival in many patients. Furthermore, the combination of ventricular restoration and CABG (coronary artery bypass grafting) has been shown to have better outcomes than CABG alone.
Ventricular Assist Devices
Ventricular assist devices (VADs) are mechanical pumps that assist, or take over, the function of a weakened heart. VADs are used for emergency as well as short-, intermediate-, and long-term support.
VADs are commonly used to sustain patients for a brief period, from days to weeks, allowing time for the heart, and other vital organs, to recover. This is called a "bridge to recovery." Most often, VADs are used as a life-support system for patients who need a heart transplant but who are unlikely survive the wait for a donor heart (which averages almost six months). This is referred to as a "bridge to transplant." More and more, VADs are being used as a "destination therapy," a permanent solution for patients with end-stage heart failure who have exhausted all other therapies but are not considered candidates for transplant.
The newest application of VADs is as an emergency support for patients undergoing high-risk catheterization procedures. In the case of an emergency, such as acute heart failure (see below), an assist device can be quickly inserted via a catheter, allowing enough time for the patient to be brought to the operating room for a more definitive operation or for placement of a longer-term assist device.
The Heart Failure Program at NYU currently offers a complete selection of FDA-approved VADs for all patients and clinical scenarios. Our team has extensive experience in the management of patients with VADs, including both inpatient and outpatient care.
Thoracic Aortic Dissection Repair
Aortic dissection occurs when the innermost layer of the aorta tears, allowing blood to leak through and separate (dissect) the inner and middle layers of the blood vessel. Aortic dissection can trigger several different potentially life-threatening events, such as stroke, sudden heart failure, and failure of one or more vital organs. If left untreated, aortic dissection can eventually lead to a fatal rupture of the aorta.
Aortic dissection usually requires immediate treatment. Patients diagnosed with this condition are admitted to the intensive care unit, where their vital signs can be closely monitored. Various drugs may be administered, which lower blood pressure and slow the heart rate.
Whether further treatment is recommended depends on the location of the dissection, the presence of bleeding from the dissection, and the patient's overall condition. Some patients are treated with medication only. However, immediate surgery may be necessary. To repair an aortic dissection, the surgeon removes the area of dissected aorta and rebuilds the blood vessel with a synthetic graft.

Slate Senior Editor Dahlia Lithwick joins Coy Barefoot on WINA's Charlottesville–Right Now to discuss a recent article she wrote on the decline of American support for the death penalty – except on the Supreme Court. She also talks about other legal news, including the Anne Nicole Smith case and the Jose Padilla competency hearings. |
Allison Hantschel is a blogger and author who posts to the site First Draft. She has a new book called Special Plans: The Blogs & the Faulty Intelligence That Led To War. The book traces the story of Douglas Feith, a key figure in President Bush's Defense Department in the run-up to the Iraq War. He ran the Office of Special Plans, which was created to collect intelligence on the Iraqi weapons of mass destruction."What Douglas Feith was doing was taking reports from Iraqi defectors who were questionable," she says. "For example, we were fed a bunch of lines about mobile biological weapons laboratories that were terribly dangerous and could strike us from anywhere. And the main source for that allegation turned out to be an alcoholic cousin to an aid to Ahmed Chalabi." She adds that Chalabi later turned out to be also shown as less than reliable.

When two students perform the same academic task, the patterns of activity in their brains are as unique as their fingerprints.
One way to approach technology integration is to begin with an educational problem and explore how different tools might contribute to a solution. No greater challenge today facing classroom teachers than the increasing diversity of learners in the classroom. Neuroscience increasingly illuminates how students differ in their learning styles and preferences at the neurological level – and this difference at the individual level is a daunting hurtle to face.

3-year-old girl drowns in Glendale pool
A 3-year-old girl drowned Friday in a Glendale pool, the Glendale Fire Department said.
"She was in the care of her grandparents," said Jose Morales with Glendale Fire. "They lost track of her and she somehow slipped inside the pool in the backyard -- there was not a fence -- and that's where crews found her."
Morales said the grandparents called 911 immediately after finding the child.
She was airlifted to a hospital, where she passed away despite life-saving efforts.
