It is a bargain. You remain crippled, unintelligent, mediocre, stupid - and after death you will achieve everything. And nobody knows what happens after death. Nobody has ever returned and told what happens after death. So they are doing such a fabulous business - they are selling such a commodity which is invisible, intangible, and what they are taking in return is your whole humanity, your whole integrity. They are destroying you completely.
I can say, "Come and share me." That is a totally different standpoint.
I have known something.
I have seen something.
I have lived something.
And I can share it with you.
And remember, I am not obliging you when I share it with you; you are obliging me, because when a cloud is heavy with rainwater, the earth is obliging it by receiving the water. I say to you: I am heavy with some ecstasy, some blissfulness. And it is not a question of a bargain after death. I am not promising you something in the future, and I am not asking you anything in return, not even a thank you, because I am grateful to you that you shared with me.
My religion is a religion of sharing, not of following. It is a religion of love. The very idea of following makes me sick. It is sickening. You have to be yourself, and when you blossom, you are not going to be like me or like Jesus or like Buddha. You are going to be just like you - which has never happened before, and which is not going to happen again. It is only possible with you. You are unrepeatable. If you start following somebody you are missing a great opportunity that existence has provided for you, and you will never be happy. No Christian is happy, no Hindu is happy, no Buddhist is happy; they cannot be. How can you be happy?
Just think in this way: if the roseflower tries to become a lotus, the lotus tries to become a rose, both will be in tremendous suffering because neither can the rose become the lotus nor can the lotus become the rose. At the most they can pretend, and pretensions are not fulfilling. The roseflower can only be a roseflower. And the unfortunate thing is, when the roseflower starts trying to be a lotus, its energy goes into that effort of becoming a lotus. A lotus it can never become, it has no potential for it. It is not a lotus, and there is no need for it to be a lotus. If existence wanted a lotus there would have been a lotus. Existence needs a rose. Trying to be a lotus, the rose will be losing its energy in a fruitless, hopeless effort, and perhaps may not be able to become even a rose. From where will it find the energy to become a rose, the vitality to become a rose?
It is one of the most important psychological phenomena to understand: each individual is unique; there has never been that kind of individual before, and there will never be that kind of individual again.


text: 5 Amazing account of poverty both sides of the English ChannelDaniel19 | 06/05/2009 | See all Daniel19's reviews (1)Down and Out in Paris and London was the first of Orwell's work that I read, It is a must read for anyone from all walks of life. As a 20 year old student i didnt think that I would be able to appreciate the story of poverty and sheer desperation that Orwell portrays to us through this book, he perfectly captures the way of life from both sides of the English Channel from his time in Paris as a "polngeur" and his time at the hotel X and onto London where he captures the life and poverty in some of Londons worst doss houses( "Spikes"). Highly Reccomended.

text: Let me preface this by saying we have a large halloween party every year for the family called the "party in the driveway"! Everyone comes to our house as we have the best subdivision for trick or treating. All the food is in the garage, fire pit in the driveway, and every one brings candy to give out. Tradition is such that the menu consists of "anything in a bowl"! Based on that I make huge pots of chili, bean soup and two other soups (that change from year to year) and keep it all in crock pots etc. For this year's selections we're having the normal chili and bean soup, I've added in Taco soup, and was thinking of doing a chicken and wild rice soup. Is there such a creation as a healthy low fat chicken and wild rice soup? If so, could you share the recipe? THANKS!

SOUTH WHITLEY — Good teams find a way to make adjustments when things aren't going exactly the way they usually do. In a Friday night match-up of two of the Three Rivers Conference's best teams, it was the Whitko Wildcats who were able to use a rugged defense and adjust when their leading scorer had a bit of an off shooting night. The end result was a 56-42 win over the visiting Rochester Zebras that kept the Wildcats perfect in the conference.
CHURUBUSCO — It was a battle of the Eagles Friday night in Churubusco's gymnasium. After watching the girls' team suffer a tough loss, the 'Busco boys took the court seeking revenge on Fremont, 73-50. Churubusco shot down Fremont from the beginning, with 'Busco's Tyler Arrowsmith scoring six points in the first three minutes of the game. "We played really solid in the first six minutes," Churubusco head coach Michael McBride said.
Columbia City hit the road in the Northeast Hoosier Conference Friday night keeping its record unblemished with a 62-45 win over Bellmont. The Eagles are off to their second consecutive 7-2 start under head coach Chris Benedict.

A number of experiments on the plasma-vapor gasification of brown coals of three types have been carried out using an experimental plant with an electric-arc reactor of the combined type. On the basis of the material and heat balances, process parameters have been obtained: the degree of carbon gasification (ζc), the level of sulfur conversion into the gas phase (ζs), the synthesis gas concentration (CO+Hz) in the gaseous products, and the specific power consumption for the gasification process. The degree of gasification was 90.5-95.0%, the concentration of the synthesis gas amounted to 84.7–85.7%, and the level of sulfur conversion into the gas phase was 94.3–96.7%. Numerical study of the process of plasma gasification of coals was carried out using a mathematical model of motion, heating, and gasification of polydisperse coal particles in an electric-arc reactor of the combined type with an internal heat source (arc). The initial conditions for a conjugate system of nonlinear differential equations of the gas dynamics and kinetics of a pulverized coal stream interacting with the electric arc and oxidizer (water vapor) agree with the initial conditions of the experiments. The computation results satisfactorily correlate with the experimental data. The mathematical model can be used for the determination of reagent residence time and geometrical dimensions of the plasma reactor for the gasification of coals.

Organic Raspberry Leaf tea supports the female system* by aiding healthy menstruation as well as toning the uterus.* For millennia European and Native American women have safely used raspberry leaf for irregular menstruation, menstrual cramps and during pregnancy.* Today naturopaths and nurse-midwives often recommend raspberry leaf tea for these traditional uses. Raspberry leaf has a robust, full-bodied flavor reminiscent of fine black tea, making it an excellent choice for a caffeine-free breakfast or afternoon tea.

Agencies will now have access to 20 blanket purchase agreements through which to purchase cloud-based email services, the General Services Administration announced Aug. 30.
GSA said the BPAs will simplify ways to meet the reoccurring needs for cloud-based services, even greatly decreasing costs. The email service contracts allow vendors to provide the government with email, cloud-based office automation, electronic records management, migration services, and integration services.
President Barack Obama has asked agencies to move IT to a cloud envrionment when it makes sense as a means to be more efficient. The Office of Management and Budget's 25 Point Federal IT Reform Plan and the "Cloud First" initiative require agencies to consider cloud-based solutions as the new default IT solution as well.
"Our innovative cloud solutions are another example of how GSA offers the best value, low cost services that help agencies serve the American people," said Mary Davie, acting Federal Acquisition Service commissioner.
The BPAs were awarded to:

In the last week or so my previously healthy and thriving sunny knockouts have taken a turn for the worst. The Leaves have begun to yellow, brown, and dry up. There are some large holes in some of the leaves, but the most troubling are the tiny dots (see picture) scattered about nearly all of the leaves. The blooms are still mostly healthy and the stalks appear to be healthy as well. Our recent temperatures have been rather high (in the 90s) with some intermittent rain and our house faces south so the bushes get sun all day long. I have been using a spray for pests on the bushes for about a month. Any ideas or thoughts on what could be happening with my babies? |
Follow-Up Postings:
I would check for Red Spider Mites. Take a white piece of paper, hold it under some of the discolored leaves, tap the leaves good, and if you have some very, very tiny spots that move show up on the paper, you have spider mites. They have been very bad here this year and have hit several of my roses. Also, look closely and see if you have very fine webs anywhere on the plants. Usually they are on the growing tip of a stem or where a stem junction at the cane is. That is another indicator of spider mites. You can use an organic spray - I use one made by Ortho but for the life of me I can't think of the name of it right now. Sorry......I'll blame stress and age for that. LOL Good luck. Mary |
Are there small black spots or white spots. I can't make the picture bigger with out it being blurry lol but iif so it could be fungal. You can mix baking soda with a bit of dish soap and water spray on and let dry it will help if its fungal but i think lack of water and high temps could be the problem. Un sure. Though due to my computer hating me today |

I was thinking some damage to leaves with holes may be rose slug damage but can not tell from pics.. |

Spider mites. Please stop using the insecticide immediately. It does not kill the mites but does kill the insects that would naturally eat the mites thus you have a big mite population explosion. The very best thing that you can do is to buy a water wand for your garden hose and wash your roses every day for a week or so. Using the water wand, you can reach the underside of the leaves where the mites live. Since your Knock-Outs are in a hot, dry location (ideal for spider mites), you will need to wash the foliage weekly for the rest of the summer. Good luck! |
The top picture looks fine. There will usually be a couple of old leaves dying and turning yellow. The second picture, bronzy and stippled, does look like spider mites. What Cecily says is correct--insecticides actually cause mite problems. Look on the underside with a magnifier and you should see wisps of webbing, black fecal specks, and maybe the tiny crab-like critters themselves. I would strip off any leaves that are bronzy, stippled, dry, and curling, and then wash the underside of the foliage repeatedly. |
Yup. Spider mites, and as bad an infestation of them as I've ever seen. When you spray regularly, you encourage spider mites, because you are killing all of the "good bugs" that would have eaten them up. Here, the garden hose is your best friend. Be sure to wash the UNDERSIDE of the leaves, as that's where the little creeps congregate to do their evil work. |
Did spider mites put the holes in some of those other leaves also? Just asking as I have never peronally seen spider mite damage. |
- Posted by ZeroMaggie none (My Page) on Tue, Jul 1, 14 at 18:55
I think I might have an additional slug problem that could be causing the holes. I know we have an abundance of them here. I plan to put some beer out as a slug trap just in case. |
If they are rose slugs zeroMaggie beer won't help. Rose slugs are sawfly larvae and different from the slugs your thinking of... They are wormlike and usually found on the underside of leaves. |
Maggie, the rose slugs are probably gone now. But if some of them are still there, washing off the underside of the leaves will get rid of them, along with the mites. It's amazing -- but really, the most effective solution isn't a chemical . . . it's something as simple as water at high pressure. To be truthful, this is a great deal of fun, on a hot summer day. |

'Toy Shining' by Kyle Lambert combines one of the most iconic horror films of all time with the classic story of Toy Story characters Woody and Buzz. These pictures feature famous scenes from the movie 'The Shining' with 'Toy Story' characters in place of Jack Nicholson and the others.
Perhaps the most terrifying of the depictions is the face of Woody peeking through the door that was smashed in by Nicholson in the real movie. One can almost hear Woody say the famous line, "Here's Johnny!"—upon which point Toy Story will never have the same charm that it once did. However, the twin girls from The Shining have been turned into the green aliens from Toy Story, making the images a little less scary.
Toy Shining by Kyle Lambert is a fantastic mash-up series because it combines two films of completely different genres.

I really like this shot, the colours are very vibrant and the details are sharp - though I think the head shows that you might be been working past the best range limit for your lens. The little white spots are working really well in the foreground, but I am undecided on the background ones which look like little halos.
Exposure on this is good, though the white breast is showing a little overexposure I think though it is not very distracting overall.
Its also a shame that with such a perfect refelection in the shot that it was cut off.
Overall a really good shot with good details, colours and composition

Index -> Recipe Finder -> Miscellaneous
Recipe Finder Home Chicken Cutlets with Grape-Shallot Sauce This dish is simple enough for a weeknight but elegant enough for entertaining. Cheddar-Ale Soup Take the chill off a cold winter's night with this creamy cheese- and beer-lover's soup. Make it a meal: Serve with hearty whole-grain farm bread and a salad dressed with a tangy vinaigrette. Pineapple Tofu Stir-Fry At last - a sweet-and-sour dish with a fresh, not cloying, taste. Add a pinch of crushed red pepper, a splash of chile-garlic sauce or a dash of hot sauce to give it a little heat. Salt and Pepper Shrimp Rice flour is the secret to giving these shrimp a light and crispy coating. Grandma Ginger's Fish Casserole Recipe developer Katie Webster's grandmother used to make a version of this dish with fresh-caught smallmouth bass from Vermont's Lake Champlain. Our updated version requires no fishing; just a trip to the supermarket for Pacific cod or tilapia. Edamame Succotash with Shrimp We give succotash -- traditionally a Southern dish made with corn, lima beans, and peppers -- an update using edamame instead of limas and turn it into a main dish by adding shrimp. Catfish Amandine Here, catfish is garnished with a garlic-almond sauce that is very simple to make, but tastes like it was prepared in a fine restaurant. Tilapia fillets can be used in place of the catfish, if desired. Southwestern Beef and Bean Burger Wraps Kids and adults alike will love these quick, zippy burgers. The beans make the burgers a little fragile, so be careful when taking them off the broiler pan. Make it a meal: Toss a green salad with Cilantro-Lime Vinaigrette and mango slices for desser Thai Red Curry Mussels We love how a few simple ingredients like coconut milk and curry paste can turn an at-home dish into a Thai delight. Any basil will taste delicious in this recipe, but use Thai basil if you can find it. Make it a meal: Spoon over soba or rice noodles Spice-Rubbed Pork Tenderloin The bright fresh taste of a watermelon and cucumber salad makes a sensational counterpoint to the fiery spice crust on this succulent pork tenderloin. It's important to brown the meat before roasting, since this cut cooks too quickly browning. Zucchini Frittata A frittata, as a flat omelet is known in Italy, can be filled with a variety of vegetables and cheeses and makes a great impromptu brunch dish or supper. In this version, fresh mint and basil brighten the mild taste of zucchini. Twice-Baked Goat Cheese Soufflés on a Bed of Mixed Greens If you'd love to wow your guests with a soufflé, but can't stand the last-minute heat, this is your recipe. The soufflés bake once, fall, and revive on a second round in the oven. They emerge modestly puffed, soft and tender. Savory Bread Pudding with Spinach and Mushrooms Bread pudding, an economical dish designed to use up stale bread, is most often associated with dessert. It's equally comforting turned savory, enriched with cheese and studded with vegetables. Egg Thread Soup with Asparagus Stirring eggs into simmering broth is a classic technique for adding nourishment and body to soup. Asparagus gives it a mild, sweet flavor and a bit of texture. Serve this quick soup with Parmesan Crisps or sprinkle with grated Parmesan. Parmesan Crisps These flavorful wafers, simply baked grated cheese, make a delightful accompaniment to soups or a sophisticated nibble to serve with drinks. As the only ingredient, the cheese matters here. Be sure to use imported Parmigiano-Reggiano. Halibut Roasted with Red Bell Peppers, Onions, and Russet Potatoes The firm flesh of halibut makes it the perfect choice for this dish, but feel free to substitute salmon, cod, or any other thick fish. The bell peppers can be varied as well -- exchange green for red or use a combination of red, green and yellow. Curried Chicken with Sweet Potatoes and Cauliflower Boneless, skinless chicken thighs, with a little help from the well-seasoned yogurt marinade, remain moist and tender when oven-roasted. Hint: Soaking the prepared vegetables in ice water for 15 minutes before roasting will make them tender. Light Salade aux Lardons This French bistro salad is usually made with fatty bacon from the pig's belly. With Canadian bacon, it's lighter, leaner and just as tasty. You can cut down on the salt by parboiling the bacon for 1 minute before dicing. Tangelo Pork Stir-Fry This stir-fry is complex with strips of tangelo zest and bright tangelo juice, a little sunshine on a midwinter night. Tangelos, hybrids of tangerines and pummelos (or grapefruit), are often labeled as minneolas or honeybells. Asian Slaw with Tofu and Shiitake Mushrooms A simple slaw is given an Asian twist with bok choy, napa cabbage and a soy-wasabi dressing. The vibrant flavors and rich textures make this a great introduction to tofu for novices and skeptics. Japanese-Inspired Beef and Noodle Salad Sirloin steak, soba noodles (Japanese buckwheat noodles) and shredded carrots make this healthful, aromatic salad a sophisticated treat any night of the week. Mini Meatloaves Traditional meatloaf is made with ground beef, pork and veal; here we replace the veal with ground turkey for a tender, flavorful and leaner version of the classic. Baking individual portions in muffin tins speeds cooking, standardizes serving size. Whole-Wheat Burger Buns No store-bought bun can compare with rustic, wheaty, homemade burger buns like these. Blue Cheese Dip If you have a garden or farmers' market nearby, there's much to be said for setting out a plate of raw summer vegetables and serving them with nothing more than a great dip. Sweet and Tangy Watermelon Salad Looks like tomato -- surprise, it's watermelon. Maryland Crab Cakes Here are a few tricks: Use fresh breadcrumbs made from good, solid sandwich bread to bind the patties and dredge them in dry breadcrumbs to create a beautiful crust. Season the cakes with plenty of fresh herbs and chill in the fridge before frying. Tarragon Tartar Sauce EatingWell's version of the classic, this can accompany just about any sautéed, broiled or grilled fish. Cranberry-Almond Granola If you've never made your own granola, you'll be amazed at the difference in freshness and flavorand at how easy it is. Use this recipe as a starting point: substitute dried blueberries or chopped dried apricots for the cranberries. Warm Red Cabbage Salad In this quick German-inspired side dish, red cabbage is cooked until just tender and combined with sweet apples, caraway and a tangy vinaigrette. Serve with roasted pork loin or turkey kielbasa. Red Potato Colcannon There are countless variations on this classic Irish potato-and-cabbage combinationours is made with steamed red potatoes, sautéed cabbage and just a touch of butter. Quick Kimchi This quick, spicy, tangy cabbage side dish stands in for the traditional salty Korean staple. Unlike fermented kimchi, this quick variation is best eaten shortly after preparing and does not keep its crunchy texture when stored. Roasted Savoy Cabbage with Black Bean-Garlic Sauce Roasting cabbage brings out its rich, nutty flavor. We think Savoy is particularly beautiful, but green cabbage works as well. Seared Steak Salad with Edamame and Cilantro Look for prewashed packages of Asian-style salad mixes at your supermarket - their peppery, exotic character is great with this full-flavored steak and dressing. Loaded Spinach Salad Like many spinach salads, this one features lots of chopped-up hard-boiled egg. But since most of the calories in an egg are in the yolk, we use just two whole eggs, plus the whites from six additional eggs. Romaine Salad with Orange, Feta, and Beans Adding canned beans is a quick, convenient way to make a salad into a meal - they boost the protein to make the salad more satisfying. We call for kidney beans, but other canned beans like cannellinis or black beans would also work nicely. EatingWell Power Salad Here's our take on a traditional chef's salad, which is anything but light fare when it's heaped with meats and cheeses. Our version keeps the satisfaction factor with lean turkey breast and reduced-fat Swiss cheese. Chickpea Salad Feta cheese and chickpeas lend a Mediterranean flair to this satisfying side salad. The Creamy Dill Ranch is great with it, but would also be good with a tangy vinaigrette. Rainbow Chopped Salad Double this fresh and colorful salad and top each portion with 3 ounces grilled chicken breast for a quick main dish salad. Greek Diner Salad The secret to this New York diner-style salad is to dice the vegetables to the same size, so that the flavors can meld in one bite. The tangy dressing really perks up the vegetables and makes this dish a stand-alone entree. Roasted Tomato Vinaigrette Invest a little extra time in this recipe to slow-roast the tomatoes and youre rewarded with a rich, earthy flavor with almost no fat. Orange-Oregano Dressing What this dressing lacks in calories and fat it makes up for in big, bold orange flavor and herbal oregano notes. Sesame Tamari Vinaigrette The roasted-nut and citrus flavors of this easy dressing go well with Asian-style salads or meals; try drizzling it on grilled shrimp or chicken breast, too. Creamy Dill Ranch Dressing Cottage cheese blended in a food processor to a creamy texture, while not traditional in Ranch dressing, delivers unbelievable richness with minimal calories and fat. Creamy Blue Cheese Dressing Creamy blue cheese dressing is still rich and delicious when you make it with low-fat dairy products and reduced-fat mayonnaise. Choose the tangiest aged blue cheese you can find; its flavor will go a long way. Cuban-Style Pork and Rice Full of spice and exotic flavors, this Cuban take on the classic Spanish paella is an easy way to feed a hungry crowd. Dont worry if you have leftovers. They can easily be rewarmed in a microwave or combined with eggs to make a Spanish tortill Pork Tenderloin Rosa di Parma This is a traditional roast from the Italian province of Parma, often served for special family celebrations. (Rosa di Parma means its stuffed with Parmigiano-Reggiano and prosciutto.) Pork Medallions with Fig and Port Wine Sauce This dish showcases how deliciously pork complements the sweet and tart tastes of fruit. Serve this dish with a colorful medley of wax beans and green beans along with the Wheat Berry Salad with Red Fruit. Pork Tenderloin Stuffed with Porcini Mushrooms Stuffing this lean pork with mushrooms adds not only elegance but also flavor and juiciness. Substitution Tip: Not all of us will have fresh porcinis at the ready, so you may substitute an equal amount of cremini, portobello or shiitake mushrooms. If Moroccan-Flavored Pork Ragu This type of stew is normally cooked slowly for a few hours using tougher and fattier meat from the shoulder or rib area, but this quick version uses lean boneless pork chops. Cider-Brined Pork Chops Once brined, these chops can be pan-fried, broiled or grilled. The main caution here is not to overcook them. Brining (soaking in a salt solution) helps keep the chops firm and juicy, but even brining will not prevent dry hard chops if overcooked. |

Transcode Video
How to transcode video for iPod, iPhone, PSP, PDA, or other portable devices. There are a lot of different ways to transcode video for use on portable devices, both automated and manually. Some of these methods may be out of date and no longer work.
nuvexport is a utility that can be run from the commandline. You select the output format, the videos you'd like to transcode, and it does it for you. It does not automatically transcode for you, however
See Nuvexport.
mythTV can automatically transcode videos after recording them using mythtranscode. It can only transcode to RTJPEG and MPEG4, however, which may not be what your device requires.
See Mythtranscode.
Mythbrake is a user job script that transcodes recordings to MP4 files using Handbrake. It can create multilanguage files with mutliple audio tracks. It automatically preserves any surround sound (e.g. AC3 5.1) using pass-through if available.
See Mythbrake.
See Mythnuv2mkv.
See Nuv2avi.

New Music: Notorious B.I.G. 'Picasso Biggie' Feat. Jay Z (!llmind Remix)
What happens when you slow down the beat to Jay Z's "Picasso Baby" and add The Notorious B.I.G.'s flow on "Sky's The Limit," then replace Hov's verse with his bars from "Success," and finally employ Sheek Louch's "colossal-sized Picassos" line from "All About The Benjamins" on the same track? Producer !llmind answers the question with a fitting remix on the pending anniversary of the late Biggie's death (Mar. 9). Proving that dope beats and even doper lines can always mesh together to form one great mix, "Picasso Biggie" brings two old friends together once again.

I got the TG-2 & this lens for Christmas. I am used to putting on a lens and having a full screen view not the circle. When you zoom in, the circle goes away. I don't notice much difference between the regular zoom and the additional of the telephoto. While a really like the camera and it's overall toughness, I am disappointed with the telephoto lens.
July 05, 2014
Does not add much zoom capability at all, not at all worth the purchase price. All of the other accesses for the TG-3 (LG-1 light guide, FCON-T01 19mm fish eye lens converter) work GREAT!! This is the only one to stay away from.
August 21, 2013
I don't think SAH's review is valid as the telephoto accessory is meant to be used with the camer'as lens set at telephoto. There is no "small circle" when used according to the instructions that came with the accessory telephoto. It's a great little accessory to the great little camera. Suggest SAH's review be deleted, as it is misleading.
August 20, 2013
Not an ideal telephoto lens. They do not describe that this lens is a tiny circular zoom image of a single object surrounded by a blackout of everything in the background.
If that's what u want great! I thought I was getting a normal telephoto lens! Used it once. Have a single pic I like and don't even carry it with me anymore.
Please come out with a real telephoto attachment.
June 19, 2013
First, I find the TG-2 an amazing little point'n shoot. It works great for for most of how I like to shoot. -- Usually in the (full frame SLR equiv.) 28 mm, or 100 mm perspective, rarely any length in between.
The tele adds to the package, as my favorite, full-frame SLR lens for portraits, etc. is a fast, 135mm that has pleasing perspective and also can soft-focus the background. It is surprisingly sharp and corrected, provided the TG-2 is zoomed out to the telephoto range.
The TG-2 is not superior to my full-frame SLR, only because any viewing screen is inferior to a through the lens viewfinder, especially in bright light. However, a mentor told me long ago, the only camera that counts is the one you have on you when a photo opportunity presents itself ... and that's why I'm liking the pocketable TG-2 more every day.
June 08, 2013
The design of this lens is such that the field of view is becomes a small circle in the center of the original view window. You lose about 85% of the original view and any picture you take will have a large blacked out area that must be cropped. I don't think this is necessarily a defect but had I known this I would not have purchased the lens. Now I am out shipping costs simply because the web page fails to accurately describe the functionality of the lens.
January 01, 2013
I LOVE this camera and the lenses! Perfect for any situation. Lightweight. Easy to carry. Best of all...fabulous pictures.
November 29, 2012
I was amazed when this lens came. It originally wasn't what I expected. I was expecting more of a lens like a professional camera. However, this lens is amazing. It is an instant magnification to what you are looking at. It takes a little to get used to. You have to zoom it in or you will have a black outline around your photos. After you adjust to that, it zooms really well.
The lens is heavy duty. I was amazed at how high quality it was. It comes with a lens cover and cover for the back of the lens.

Rita~'s Note:
Turkey appetizer, No meat here! Just veggies arranged like a Turkey! No limits on how big or small you make this. My picture of this is a side view of the turkey. But by all means make it as you want. Asparagus would be really good in this. I made this again for Thanksgiving using cheeses and cold cuts. Just to show how flexible this recipe is. I did post the picture with the cheeses and meats but I did have to travel with it so it did get a little tossed around.
My Private Note
Units: US | Metric
Cream cheese spread
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 4 ounces cheddar cheese, cubed
- 4 ounces sour cream
- 1 teaspoon season salt
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
Veggie Arrangement
- 1 bunch red leaf lettuce, washed and dried
- 1/2 zucchini, thinly sliced
- 1/2 yellow squash, thinly sliced
- 2 celery ribs, thinly sliced
- 4 radishes, thinly sliced
- 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
- 4 mushrooms, thinly sliced
- 1/2 yellow pepper, thinly sliced
- cracker, to be used as an optional feather row (optional)
- pretzel, to be used as an optional feather row (optional)
- 1/2 radish
- yellow pepper
- 1Cream cheese mixture:.
- 2Mix all ingredients in a food processor till smooth add more paprika if you want.
- 3Veggie arrangement:.
- 4On a large platter arrange red lettuce leaves so red is on the outer edge. Then place the veggies like they are the feathers of the turkey. The large plume of feathers behind the turkey as I layered in rows are carrots, zucchini, yellow squash, carrots, red onions, and radishes.
- 5The bottom feathers are yellow squash, zucchini, yellow peppers, and celery.
- 6For the body I inverted a soup bowl and spread the cream cheese mixture over it. Use the mixture as a glue add radishes along the bottom in 2 rows follow with mushrooms adding till completely covering the bowl.
- 7For the chest I placed 3 sun-dried tomato half's adhered with some of the cheese mixture on the body of mushrooms.
- 8For the head place 1/2 of a radish (try to find one that is a long red radish) Spread some cheese mixture on the cut side and place just above the tomatoes.
- 9For the wattle adhere a yellow pepper slice to the radish(head) with the cheese mixture. Place the remaining cheese mixture in a bowl for dipping. Enjoy!

Wednesday, August 11
AT&T Park
Attendance: 36,139
San Francisco, CA (Sports Network) - Pat Burrell hit the tie-breaking solo homer off Jason Berg leading off the bottom of the eighth inning, lifting San Francisco to a 5-4 win over the Chicago Cubs.
Burrell, who had the game-winning RBI Monday night after hitting a sacrifice fly in 11th inning, belted a 1-2 offering from Berg (0-1) over the wall in left field for his eighth homer of the season. He also singled in two runs in the first inning.
"He plays with a lot of intensity, he's been through it," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. "He's had a lot of fun with this, being in the National League and being in the race."
Aaron Rowand also homered for the National League wild card-leading Giants, who bounced back from an 8-6 loss on Tuesday.
Barry Zito yielded 10 hits and four runs over 6 1/3 innings. Sergio Romo (5-3) recorded two strikeouts over 1 2/3 frames and Brian Wilson struck out Starlin Castro to leave a runner at second base to end the game. Wilson earned his 33rd save.
Tyler Colvin and Marlon Byrd each belted solo homers, but the Cubs faltered to their 12th defeat in 14 contests.
Pinch-hitter Kosuke Fukudome had an infield single with one out in the ninth and Colvin grounded out, but Castro swung through an outside pitch to end the contest.
The Giants scored three times in the opening inning. Buster Posey's groundout plated Andres Torres and Burrell followed with a base hit to left.
Byrd led off the fourth with a blast to left field and the Cubs tied it in the sixth. Xavier Nady doubled in Castro and then scored on Alfonso Soriano's bloop hit down the right field line.
Rowand's homer to left-center with two down in the bottom of the sixth moved the Giants ahead, 4-3, but Colvin went deep to right field the next inning.
Cubs starter Tom Gorzelanny surrendered eight hits and four runs over six innings.
"The guys battled, I can't fault that," Cubs acting manager Alan Trammell said. "We're somewhat shorthanded again, limited here and there. It seems that's too much of the story."

GSU Fall 2012 - page 42
Not sure if there's one of these started already, but it's still pretty far off, so I thought I'd make one. Have any of you guys taken the TEAS yet? If not, where are you taking it? I didn't see any... Read More
0Jun 12, '12 by mybebe001Quote from breezy7Awesome! I believe they all go in one packet...I'm actually going to sign up for the GSU nursing association shortly. Don't worry, I think we are all in the same boat in terms of preparing for the next semester...I'm both anxious and excited! I'll share any information I can get my hands onYou should be fine! I had mine at the health clinic, but they didn't give me any documentation for it. Do you guys know if the health forms and data sheets all go in the health packet? I'm going to swing by the nursing dept this week to turn it all in!
Also, have any of you signed up for the GSU nursing association? I'm curious about it. I'd love to see if they're having meetings this ummer - I have no idea how to prepare for next semester! -
0Jul 13, '12 by troop949Everyone, I got accepted for ACE from the waiting list!!! I got "the call" on Wednesday afternoon. I went in to the school on Thursday to sign my acceptance form and get the information about the PINS review. So, yeah, I'm excited, but I've got a ton of stuff to try to complete in the next month!
The bad news...I've hit the limit on my Federal student loans, so I'll have to get private loans to fund nursing school. Sucks, but it should work out. I'm calling my credit union about that tomorrow.
Thanks to everyone for your positive thoughts and prayers. And of course, thank the Lord for making this happen. I pray that we all survive, I think we're in for a pretty intense ride. -
0Jul 14, '12 by Lizzy03Congrats troop949!!!!!!!!! What a blessing?! I've also hit the limit on my Federal student loans and I've had to turn to private lenders for help. So, I definitely understand your concern about that... Best of luck on getting everything completed and I look forward to being one of your classmates for the ACE program!! Your hard work, patience, and positive attitude paid off and I know that you are so very thankful!!!

How about sharing some good supermarket food finds/or something you do that are great tasting and low in points...this may help during those crisis moments. Although not a secret Im a big fan of the MISSION 98% Fat Free Tortilla...I also will have to get the name of a Vegeterian Chili which is so good and the whole can is 1 point I alaways use to buy this and no the name escapes me...Ill get back to you! |
Follow-Up Postings:
I count calories but here are some things I like. Sorry I don't have the point counts. The WW bagels are good and filling with a cup of tea. SF jellos. Great lunch when topped with ff cottage cheese. Frozen meals - chicken with peanut sauce. Stouffers frozen meals have the points printed on the box. There is lots of salt in frozen meals so avoid them if you have problems with that. Weis market (if you have them) has a low point roll - high fiber. Smart Squeeze nonfat margarine spread. It's in a white bottle with a green top. 5 calories per TBSP |

Eileen, on CORE, the Hormel Vegetarian Chili is 'free'. I bought 4 cans (on sale at A&P) for $5. I'm going to try it tonight, as I made DH some "real" Chili. LOL I also took Gretchen's suggestion of adding frozen fruit and Splenda to FF Plain yogurt. What a wonderful (CORE) breakfast!! Great for the office....found the frozen fruit on sale at A&P this weekend. Still unsure about which soups are OK, but I'm working on it. |
I cannot stree enough my favorite find for WW. 94% FF Jolly Time Kettle Corn. Sweetened with Splenda. I went without popcorn for years because I was low carbing it. I like being able to have a bag if I want! It is Core and you can eat it until you are satisfied not over stuffed! That is a tough skill to learn. One of the things our leader has us thinking about while we are eating is to put the fork down between bites. |
Well I checked out the Core link and the bagels are out as are the rolls - sorry. Are you allowed any breads? Cereals? Just curious. |
You can eat anything you want either Core or Non Core. You can have bread but you must count it with your Weekly Points Allowance. Core gives you 35 weekly points that you can use however you would like. |
Thanks - now I know - makes sense that breads would not be allowed on the eat free plan. One good thing I noticed is that the program asks you to quit ating before you are full - makes sense. Sorry Eileen to hijack your thread. K |
- Posted by DeeMarie5500 (My Page) on Tue, Jan 11, 05 at 14:41
Gretchen, the Kettle Corn is not CORE! You must count it. Sorry, but I just found out from my Food Companion. I bought a box of plain Movie 94% and the kettle Corn and must take back the Kettle Corn. :-( |
DeeMarie, Actually it is Core. That info has been updated. They were worried about the potential for abuse as we are trying to learn when we are "satisfied". There was a big debate about the popcorn but our leader said she was told it was Core and they would be updating it in future versions of the Food Companion. Don't go to the store. |
Hi, Where's the core link?? Thanks. Need all the help I can get. |
- Posted by DeeMarie5500 (My Page) on Thu, Jan 13, 05 at 10:57
Thanks, Gretchen. If I'm counting as Flex, is the bag for 2 portions? Not sure the way the box is labeled. I think each bag has 14 cups, and 1 portion is 7 cups. If you don't know, it's OK, I'll measure! BTW, Kippy's site on Core is wonderful. I got lots of great info on there yesterday. |
Yes then if you are counting points, the bag is two portions. |

For all of the negative attention that technology sometimes gets — especially when it comes to teens — it was nice to come across this news article a few weeks ago.
A researcher running a small pilot study at the Columbus, Ohio Nationwide Children's Hospital found that treatment adherence rates shot up amongst teen diabetic patients after they received personalized text message reminders on their cell phones. Which really is not all that surprising, since previous research has demonstrated similar increases in adherence to treatment with text messaging. But a demonstration of the power and utility of our interconnected world — how things like cell phones and iPhones can be used for good too.
Jennifer Dyer, MD, MPH conducted the study, but the way it was conducted suggests we still have a long way to go before this could become commonplace.
During the study, she sent personalized questions and reminders specific to diabetes adherence activities in addition to friendly, supportive messages to her patients. By asking questions about glucose testing, meal boluses and frequency of high and low glucoses, Dr. Dyer has seen an increase in teens taking their medications.
I'm not sure most doctors would have time to send personalized messages as she did. And you have to wonder — would non-personalized messages from a software program work just as well? I'd think not, because the teenage recipient knows they're coming from a computer, not a human being, so there's less incentive to care.
This was a good pilot study. Now we need a larger-scale study (published in a peer-reviewed journal for good measure) as a followup to see if the results can be repeated, and scaled up. If this sort of thing can work with something like diabetes, it's likely it can also work with other concerns such as depression and bipolar disorder too.

Re:Skeptical != Scientific (409 comments)
uh... but given long period of temperature fluctuations throughout measured history... wouldn't you expect a temperature change since the Industrial Revolution with a probability of almost 100% and a probability that it would be an *increasing* trend of 50%? Wouldn't it be more surprising if the temperature was exactly *constant* since then?

... how bout the fact that he couldn't solve that - but has a B.S., two masters degrees, PhD credits, and "oversee[s] an organization with 22,000 employees and a $3 billion operations and capital budget, and am able to make sense of complex data related to those responsibilities".
I simply can't reconcile the above with his inability to solve any of the 60 math questions.
I'm thinking his degrees are utterly worthless and I'll further speculate that the organization he oversees with $3B budget is being grossly mismanaged.

Re:I see UV too... (350 comments)
The experiment was over 15 years ago so I'm not sure but I seem to recall they both looked rather pinkish-violet. Honestly - I don't know when I am seeing UV if at all... I would say though that the purple section of a rainbow looks thicker, and terminates with a pinkish-whitish-violet color that just sort of fades. I've always assumed that's what everyone sees regardless of where their sensitivity ends,... maybe I'm wrong.
I see UV too... (350 comments)
I see UV too,... at least technically and I don't believe it is that uncommon. In a college quantum physics lab we were looking at the emission spectrum of Hydrogen and the instructor was guiding us through various emission lines. He asked if we could see the purple line and then asked who could see the *other* purple line. I was the only one who could. He said he always asks that because every class there are one or two students (out of about 20) who could see just enough into the UV spectrum to see it. I don't recall which line it was but assume it was the Balmer n=6 line at 397nm.
I can't say this has been particularly more useful to me although I do think I see rainbows as 'wider' than most people with a much thicker "purple" band than others seem to see. Totally subjective and something I can't substantiate but I think I am more sensitive to sunlight as well.

Re:Espionage? (613 comments)
At first glance, that looks exceedingly like an F-22 (I'm no expert-maybe specialists here can point out differences)
I am - and to anyone else in the field the designs look nothing alike. The F-22 (and F-35) have a diamond-wing planform without canards with diamond vertical stabilizers. The J-20 has canards and a delta wing with swept vertical stabs. Take a look at this planform comparison

Re:One More Bush Era Screw Up (410 comments)
One more example of how Bush and his greedy incompetent Republican asshats have screwed everybody. This stuff is used because of a conditional waiver that was issued in 2003, against the scientific advices of the experts.
It's just like the BP Gulf oil spill and the coal mine explosion in West Virginia. There are systems in place to protect people and the environment, but when the Republicans gain control they stop all oversight. It takes five to fifteen years to see all the failures, and by then everyone forgets who turned over control to the crooks and lairs.
They just wave the flag, blame everything on the government bureaucrats and illegal aliens, scream about the war on terror, and then lie and deny when the shit hits the fan. I guess as long as these morons continue to lie and cheat their way into power we deserve to have poisoned gulf seafood and the end of flowering crops.
Don't worry, you can just consume more high fructose processed food and get diabetes. The corn/agribusiness lobby will continue to do just fine with their massive tax breaks and government subsidies, and they're so rich that they can afford imported fruits and vegetables. If you get sick and loose your health care you can crawl off and die, and that will solve them problem.

Lots of features but the gist is you have full control over what users can do (by account), how long they can be online, what drives and resources they have access to, etc. There is even a rudimentary site blocker so you can allow playhouse disney, or whatever kids sites you know are safe without letting them have free reign over the net or having to manage this at the firewall. Highly recommend it.
The Dangers of Planet-scale computing (178 comments)
I think it has been well documented that planet-scale computing leads to disaster. I for one don't want to be destroyed by the Vogons just before the computer produces its answer...

Maybe if you stop watching Fox News, you'd notice the leaders portrayed as demonic figures bent on bringing hell on earth are actually very pragmatic people and that's exactly why they manage to stay in power.
Well, yeah, *that* and election fraud.
p.s. I actually get most of my news from NPR, with some CNN, BBC, CSM and others thrown in. Somehow I doubt you actually take in the "other sides'" 'news' sources and just wallow in your own intellectual filth.
I've heard lots of accusations of Harris disenfranchising, etc... but never that ChoicePoint had "close ties to the GOP". You cite Greg Palast. Could you find a less biased source? Noam Chomsky Perhaps?
All sorts of deliberate errors were made in the scrubbing process, costing Gore a minimum 22 000 votes on election day 2000.
You obviously pulled these numbers from some reference (probably Palast's work) and didn't even bother to see if they make sense. Since you didn't cite any web references, I will use this Wikipedia entry as my source. Let go through the various "disenfranchisement" claims.
From the article, 57,700 "felons" were struck from the voter list. These people were all contacted (although I assume it is reasonable that many of these people were not reached), of which 4,874 appealed. Of the 4,874 appeals, 2,430 were re-instated. Now, lacking an additional info, I assume that someone compared these two numbers, and figured that 50% of the listed names were incorrect, where in reality, it is only 50% of those on the list who came forward to dispute the error. Granted, anyone being denied a vote is tragic, but 2,430 (all of whom were reinstated) is a far cry from 22,000. Why didn't the other 53,000 people on the list appeal? More likely, most didn't appeal because outside of the 2,430, nearly all were convicted felons. Which brings us to
Voter demographics authority David Bositis, a senior research associate at the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies in Washington, DC, reviewed The Nation's findings and concluded that the purge-and-block program was "a patently obvious technique to discriminate against black voters." He noted that based on nationwide conviction rates, African-Americans would account for 46% of the ex-felon group wrongly disfranchised.
Breakdown of the distribution for 3 major counties:
- Miami-Dade, 20% voters are Black, 66% names on list were Black (3,794)
- Leon County, 29% voters are Black, 55% names on list were Black
- None of the names on the list were Hispanic.
First off, David Bositis is expecting a 46% rate of black names on the ex-felon group list. What is his criteria? national averages. African Americans comprise 12.6% of the US population, but make up 46% of the ex-felon group (according to Bositis). Florida has slightly more aftican-americans than the national average at 14.6%. Lets look at Miami-Dade and Leon counties that the Bositis cites: Both counties have significantly higher (about double) the national average of African-Americans. Wouldn't it make some sense that the they would appear on the felon list with greater frequency than the national African-American breakdown of ex-felons? (46%)
Now lets go after that last bullet: None of the names on the list were Hispanic. Greg Palast has this screenshot on his website of a segment of the list. (Ignore for the moment that he apparently uses Windows, AOL, and has 16 non-standard icons in his system tray.) While I don't dispute that ChoicePoint used poor methods to determine matches, what else can we glean from the spreadsheet? For one thing, there are no "Hispanics" in the race column, despite there being two names that appear to be hispanic in origin. One is listed as unknown, and one as white. So, the argument that "hispanics have been removed because they tend to vote Republican" is probably bunk. Much more likely, ChoicePoint correctly identified Hispanics as an "ethinic group" and not a race. This would very reasonably explain why there are no "hispanics" on the list.
Bottom line, while I don't doubt that some African-American voters were disenfranchised, maybe even enough to change the outcome, I seriously doubt it was 22,000. More importantly, why isn't anyone calculating how many of the white voters were disenfranchised (through the same felon list, voter fraud, or absentee fraud?)
