Reader Redesign: How Far $102 Can Go
Vanessa sent us her kitchen makeover that clocked in at just over a hundred beans and it made us more than a little giddy. But we'll let her take you through the story of how she got so much bang her buck. Here's her letter:
In 11 years of marriage, my husband and I have lived in seven cities and sometimes have moved multiple times in each city. Needless to say, I have become a pro at making each house a home. One thing I have always wanted to do, but have been too chicken to tackle it – is paint my kitchen cabinets. Now, in our seventh home, I finally decided to do it. All. By. Myself. When we moved in, things looked like this:
After priming and painting several coats, I rehung the cabinet doors and began sanding the edges. I then used some distressing oil around the corners where I'd sanded. After letting the oil sit on the door for a minute or so, I simply wiped it off (you can see the oil sitting on the picture on the left below, and what it looked like after I wiped it off on the right).
I love the way the oil brought out all the little scratches in the wood and created a sealer of sorts. Once all the cabinets were distressed, I replaced all the knobs that I bought for a steal! I chose an antique pewter for a nice contrast against the cream, but to tie in with the stainless appliances.
One thing I had always hated about the kitchen was the apron that connected the two cabinets on either side of the sink. My awesome husband took down that piece along with the cabinet molding. Then he recut the molding to fit around the two cabinets. It is amazing how much more light came in with that simple fix.
In addition to refinishing the cabinets, I also made new window treatments. I used a tutorial from Little Green Notebook for some awesome pelmet boards that were so easy to make!
Source list:
- Paint: Valspar cream oops paint $5, Danish oil for distressing $11
- Primer: Zinser oil-based $14
- Cabinet hardware: Resale shop $10.50 (21 @ 50 cents each)
- Valances: P. Kauffman fabric (Old Time Pottery) for $20, other supplies $11 (used this tutorial to make them)
- Accessories: Yellow step stool (Hobby Lobby) $12, small yellow pitcher (Goodwill) $1, three glass jars (Target) $6 each
- That's $102.50!! Woo hoo!!
And as a bonus little tidbit, the kitchen chairs were Goodwill finds that got a new life for less than $100. The table was originally black (from Target) that I already owned. I simply stripped it and re-stained it for less than $20. All the other accessories, I already owned. If you consider these previously completed projects in the final total, the makeover still comes in around $300. I say, that's not too bad for a full kitchen makeover, right?! -Vanessa
Not too bad at all, Vanessa! Actually, it's pretty darn amazing. We love how fresh and light it feels, and the existing backsplash and counters work so well with the new look. Anyone who'd like more pics / details can hit up Vanessa's blog, but first let's play the favorite part game. Sherry loves the window treatment fabric and that fun yellow step stool, meanwhile I loved reading about distressing oil since we haven't tried our hands at it yet.
A Clean Flush Mounted Light Near The Fireplace
Even though we declared our kitchen project done over a month ago, there are still little dangling tasks hanging over our heads. Some, quite literally. See that shadeless stick of a pendant hanging down from the ceiling in the fireplace area?
That old pendant has been broken forever (despite me fixing it once already) so that half of the room has been cloaked in darkness for months. Well, or least in comparison to the rest of the room which has been light and bright since our little lighting overhaul during the kitchen reno.
Our temporary lighting solution has been this floor lamp tucked in the corner. But it too has woes of its own. One of the switches broke, so leaning over behind the chair and unplugging it/plugging it in is now the only way to turn it off or on. Not the end of the world, but not the nicest thing on the ol' back when you're doing it multiple times a day. We were over it after a few weeks and it has been the routine for a few months now.
We even grew to call it the Bend & Snap (Legally Blonde, anyone?) – and although it makes the "exercise" mildly more entertaining, we were always keeping our eyes peeled for the perfect replacement for the broken ceiling pendant. And it took a while to find it.
The struggle that we were having was finding something that doesn't compete with the other pendants in the room. We wanted something pretty flush (since I'm a tall guy and I didn't want anything that felt too close to my head in such an open area), but nothing boob-light-ish. Oddly enough a ton of flush mount lights in our price range were what Sherry affectionately calls boob lights. Any lighting industry peeps listening? There's a hole in the market for good clean-lined and simple, not-curvy flush mounted fixtures that don't cost an arm and a leg. Sure there are a few crisp drum shade-ish options, but not the same insanely wide variety that there are for their buxom counterparts (frosted boob lights, marbled boob lights, ORBed boob lights, etc).
Finally, at our recent trip to Ikea, we came across Aläng. Let's just call him Alan for short. No wait, let's do Alän since I just learned how to type that umlaut and I'm feeling proud of myself (ALT+U then whatever letter you want under it, fyi).
Anyways, Alän came in two sizes and we got the larger 18″ version for $40. Gotta love Ikea prices (many 18″ drum shades alone are around $40 without the light itself). But like most Ikea pieces, he required assembly – giving me flashbacks to assembling Max in our bedroom.
It wasn't that bad, though. First I had to pop each of the three light sockets into the central fixture. Easy. Though it created a bit of a jumble of wires that made me raise an eyebrow.
But it looks like Ikea was one step of ahead of me, having already placed clips and channels to wrangle the cords. My eyebrow returned to its default position.
You can see how the wires are held against the sides of the central fixture in the pic below. Though I actually took this picture to show off how Space Invader-y this thing was starting to look once I added the spokes that would eventually hold the shade in place.
With the light as assembled as it could be without actually attaching it to the ceiling, I flipped off the power to the whole house (since neither our fusebox nor my memory is labelled well enough to be sure what breaker controls what) and began removing the old light.
With old light out, Alän could begin taking his pläce. Here's he is all wired up and ready to be set flush against the ceiling.
The system that secures the central fixture to the ceiling is kinda just a glorified zip tie, which was a little strange to me – I'm used to screws and bolts for these things. But it was easy and seemed to work great, so I shouldn't complain.
Then came turning the power back on to make sure my wiring was successful (it was). Oh and these incandescent bulbs were the only bulbs that we had three of at the time – but we've since replaced them with… wait for it… LEDs! And we love them so far. We'll have to give you a full report down the road as to how they last and how we like them over time. But they give off a really nice bright glow and we love that they should last an unbelievably long time and save us loot in the long run.
But back to hanging the shade. You may be wondering how it's secured. Well, those little spokey dudes are MAGNETIC. Yup they're tiny, very very strong magnets. Like the Altoids of magnets.
This, like the zip tie, they had me doubtful at first – but as soon as I felt the shade snap firmly into place with pretty surprising force I was all smiles. It was easy and quick to do and I'm pretty sure I don't have to worry about it falling on my head anytime soon (but if I did, the shade is pretty darn light anyways).
This is one of those can't-capture-the-true-beauty items that we own, but in person everyone who walks in comments on it. This picture is the closest thing to showing the pretty subtle woven detail and the soft glow that it gives off. Update: lots of folks are asking if it gives off a lot of light, it's not a glowing beacon that blinds you or anything but it should definitely be bright enough for a decent sized room or hallway. It only takes three twenty watt bulbs, but if you use CFLs or LEDs, they give off more light at lower wattages.
Of course that awesome subtle texture is lost in further away pics (but oddly enough, not in person – maybe because these pics are much smaller than life sized?), but here's Alän from further away. Ta-DÄH!
I don't know why I stood semi to majorly off-center to take the shot above and the shot below, but in person it's centered exactly between the two beams and it lines up with the mirror if you stand in the right spot. Düh.
But enough with the celebratory umlauts. In short: Sherry and I are thrilled with it. It's pretty much exactly what we were looking for. Something that doesn't fight for attention with the other pendants. Something that we're not going to bump our heads my head into. And something that's not very boob-like. Plus it helps define that area over by the fireplace and feels more in proportion with that space than a single can light (or a directional light aimed at the fireplace) that we could have installed instead (we weighed both of those options and decided a nice clean-lined shade really helped add to the "casual living zone" feeling of that side of the room).
Heck, from the kitchen side of the room when he's off, you hardly even know he's there.
Though when the light switches are flipped on, we definitely appreciate his presence since it means the room is (finally!) evenly lit and we no longer have to bend over to plug in that darn floor light in the corner. In fact that light has since been banned from the room. We just don't need it anymore (huzzah! no more bending and snapping!) and now that corner with the chair looks more balanced.
It's hard to tell in these wide room shots since it just gets kinda blown out and the detail is lost because they're small pictures (as opposed to actually standing in the room with it, where things are all life-sized), but in person the texture is such a nice detail that makes the light look special – but not so special that it's fighting with the more special over-sized globe pendants over the peninsula (don't tell Alän I said that). It's a delicate balance. Wish we could capture this guy better for you, because the photos here really don't do him justice. You'll all just have to come over for tea and scones or something.
So that's one thing off of our lingering kitchen to-do list. Although Sherry and I have been talking about spray painting our stools at the peninsula (we wanted to live with them as-is for a while before making any rash decisions) and we're still not sure which way we'll go. We're hunting for a more permanent rug for the living area of the kitchen (the zone in front of the fireplace), so we'll wait to get that pinned down before making any final stool decisions. You know in case we find an awesome rug with some tone that we wanted on the chairs that would then be overkill if it was in both places. But we promise we'll keep you posted! For now we're just trying to enjoy having a nice, well-lit spot for our nightly dance parties with Ms. Clara. Have you guys installed any lights lately? Or had any issues finding the right flush mounted fixture? Are you currently debating painting metal stools or some other accessory in your house?

I'm talking about chili peppers.
I'm not as bad as some, like our copy editor Ann, who drizzles Tabasco sauce on her barbecue potato chips. Or my father, who won't declare a dish delicious until it brings sweat to his forehead. But I do love the reeling wallop that a good chili pepper packs. Sure, it can be painful. But eating chilies is somewhat like getting a tattoo -- the endorphins get you high. You couldn't ask for more from your food.
So I was just a tiny bit disappointed with the Delta Blues Cafe and Catering Company, a new establishment whose Cajun, southwestern, and down-home southern fare was tasty, at times even terrific, but far too tame overall. Even an appetizer of stuffed jalape*os, which featured five fresh peppers filled with cheddar cheese, dipped in beaten egg and flour, and then deep-fried, were bites with no bite. We enjoyed them anyway; thanks to the crunchy exterior and melty interior, they tasted like baked stuffed potatoes. And the salsa, made with chopped tomatoes and cilantro, was refreshing. But the jalapenos were as mild as bell peppers, a state of affairs that proved representative of the cafe's cuisine.
I'd attribute the lack of spice to the kitchen's having removed the peppers' seeds, which carry most of the tongue-tingling zing. My editor would blame the chili pepper people, who (he claims) are breeding their product to appeal to the mass market now that salsa has surpassed ketchup as America's condiment numero uno. Our forthcoming and friendly waitress said that some of the restaurant's clientele were finding the food too fiery; 38-year-old Deborah Cross, a Miami native who owns the cafe with her partner (and fiance) Ray Lozano concurred, but added that others expect the food to be as hot as it would be in the French Quarter. The resulting compromise between vision and demand is somewhat bland because, in her words, "It's easier to add than it is to take away." My suggestion: Ask for your food "nuclear" if you like it that way. Cross, who cooks alongside her executive chef Paul Ghertson (formerly a sous chef at the Grand Cafe), is happy to doctor her dishes with the sauces and spices she imports from New Orleans. As for the jalapenos, she feels that Friday's and Bennigan's have a lock on them in suburbia, and she'll soon replace the appetizer with something more evocative of wrought-iron balconies and French doors. Something like crawfish in a white-wine-and-cream sauce served on toast points.
That said, there's no real reason not to sample Delta Blues Cafe's high-quality goods. A 50-seat, four-month-old establishment tucked away in a North Kendall Drive strip mall just east of 107th Avenue, the cafe is reminiscent of a tasteful N'Awlins eatery (and it's cleaner). Walls are a restful shade of blue overlaid with gold sponged paint; gilded frames highlight period portraits and landscapes; gilt and crystal chandeliers dangle from the high ceiling (the space was a warehouse before Cross took it over). White tablecloths contribute another formal touch, though the prices are anything but -- the average entree runs about ten dollars. And Cross, who saw room for yet another market in Kendall, just added live jazz and blues lineups on Friday and Saturday nights and is actively seeking performers.
What we liked best, however, were the homey touches -- dried flowers tucked away in corners of the dining room, delicious homemade peach sauce to spread on complimentary buttermilk biscuits. In fact, we thought the house salad, served with every main course, could have benefited from some of that southern comfort; though exceedingly fresh, the mix of romaine lettuce and sliced plum tomatoes was a bit boring, the accompanying vinaigrette oily and uninteresting. A smattering of, say, honey-roasted pecans, or even a few rings of Vidalia onions, both southern crops in keeping with the cafe's themes, might spark it up.
A bowl of black seafood gumbo needed no other spark besides a speck of salt. A roux-based stock, the tantalizing soup was as dark as Cuban black bean soup and enhanced with a good amount of sliced sausage, shrimp, and rice, while a hint of okra and a floating bay leaf or two strengthened the broth. On the southwestern side, a queso-wrapped shrimp appetizer was equally as hearty and appealing. Two soft flour tortillas rolled like cràpes encased the chopped crustaceans, and a fabulous cream sauce burst from the tortillas with every cut of the fork and knife.
A New Mexico grilled chicken entree with four-pepper cream sauce was not as rich as we'd anticipated. Tangled up in ancho and jalape*o as well as red and green bell peppers, a grilled boneless breast had great flavor but was too dry, the light cream sauce neither saving the poultry nor making a very memorable impression on its own.
A twelve-ounce sirloin didn't suffer from this problem. The inch-thick steak was cooked to a juicy medium-rare and accented with a garlic herb butter. At $11.25 it represented one of the Delta's better bargains. Not to dwell on minutiae, but the steak knife that was served at the appropriate time (i.e., with the meal) was a pleasure. And the service was warm and sweet as the peach sauce throughout our visit.

It's called an 'ask page' and is designed to let the potential customers tell you what they want to buy.
For example: If you were going to write an ebook about growing vegetables, why not put up a page, asking your potential customer what would be their number one question New Challenges for Biobanks: Ethics, Law and Governance PDF about growing vegetables.
Take your top 30 questions and use them as the bases of your product.

What you do is...get someone who does know about growing vegetables, to write an e book for you!
Now you might be wondering, who that might be? Easy! Just go to www.elance.com and get someone to do it for you. This is a website where people reverse bid to do the work for you.
This means they bid to the lowest price to see who will get the job.
How Good Is That?
People are willing to pay money for products that answer common questions about topics they are interested in.

The problem is that most of us are not experts in lots of subjects and don't know what a potential consumer wants to know. That is where the market research comes in.
You can build a page dedicated to asking potential customers what they want to know and then use their information to create your product.
It's that simple and easy!
Try it our before you think you Water-Related Death Investigation: Practical Methods and Forensic Applications PDF have great idea and you fall in love with your product because most times people really don't love your product like you do!

How I Came to Christ
Posted By Arada Polawat On October 12, 2010 @ 1:51 am In Country Staff | 4 Comments
Fourteen registered children, three Child Survival Program (CSP) mothers and one CSP father from the Rom–Prakun Child Development Center in Thailand were recently baptized.
Orasa is one of the youth who was baptized, and this is her testimony.
My name is Orasa. I now study at grade 11 at Mea La Noi Daronsik School. My family believes in God.
I have been attending the child development center for seven years and I gain useful knowledge there. The center equips and develops me in many areas and I meet many good friends.
When the church taught me about salvation and baptism, God softened my heart so that I wanted to have personal relationship with Him. A few days after the teaching I decided to receive Jesus Christ into my life. I confessed my sins and received my new life on that day.
Two days later, I was baptized in the river. It is my joy to walk with God.
I love going to church, I have joy, and when I begin to gossip about others, I feel that I am committing a sin. God always reminds me in doing things nowadays.
God loves His children and now I am a daughter of God. God takes care of me and I would like to show my appreciation for His provision.
Thank God for the church that opened the door for me and my friends to understand and receive Jesus Christ. From now on, I will serve God. Even though it is just a little thing, I am willing to serve and glorify him. I hope my life will honor God.
I would like to express my thankfulness to the staff at the church and thank you for my family to guide me. They help me know and understand God's love.
The most important person I would like to say thank you to is my sponsor, Angela, who supports me. God bless you.
This is the testimony of Nida, one of the mothers in the Child Survival Program.
Hello. My name is Nida. I am 19. I am a mother of a child who attends the Child Survival Program. I am very glad and very happy to write a testimony.
I came from a nonbelieving family. I am a minority in Burma and I moved to work in Chiang Mai. I met my husband there. I have been married for three years now and I have a child — her name is Nicharee.
My husband and I moved back to his hometown when I was pregnant. I was a Buddhist and my husband's family were believers but not strong. They had never told me about God.
The Child Survival Program opened during my pregnancy and I had a chance to register. The reason they chose me is because I am very poor. I don't have Thai citizenship so I cannot have benefits like Thai.
I am very grateful that I attend the program. It develops and trains me in many areas. They teach me to be a dressmaker, I know how to take care of my baby's health, and I receive supplementary food.
My girl has good health and a good disposition. The best part I learn from the program is God's love through the help of the staff. I learn to study the Bible, too.
At the beginning, I did not pay attention to the story of God or the Bible. I believed in Buddhist theory. But after I heard God's story every week, I began to realize that I am a sinner and the only way to wash all my sin is through Jesus Christ.
I started to find out about the truth, and the staff told me that the church opened a class about salvation and baptism. After the class, I opened my heart to Jesus Christ to be my Savior. I was baptized a few days later.
I would like to thank God for Compassion and the Child Survival Program. I also would like to thank the donor who supports the program. I don't have anything to pay back to you. I only pray that God will provide and bless you.
What is your testimony?

Who Contributes the Most to LibreOffice?
Cedric Bosdonnat has been tracking contributions to LibreOffice since its announced fork from OpenOffice.org. He uses Git Data Miner to gleen results from the main branch of LibreOffice Git repositories. Git Data Miner is more commonly known as the tool used by Jonathan Corbet in his periodic kernel code reports.
Bosdonnat began tracking line contributions in the middle of September 2010 with the original 14 contributions being made by Oracle. Oracle actually contributes code to OpenOffice.org, and then LibreOffice merges those changes, thus resulting in Oracle's contributions to the new fork. These 112 contributions have continued throughout development, but are dwarfed by the contributions of new developers.
New contributors are those that have signed on to help with LibreOffice since the fork, either with code or translations. These contributions make up well over half of the total new changes found in LibreOffice as of mid-February. Weekly contributions in this area have averaged between 20 and 30 with a total number of 517 line contributions.
Those who worked on OpenOffice.org previously and are not employeed by any other major contributor are classified as known contributors. While their number of contributions have been fewer, they averaged approximately five per week since the fork. This totals 90 contributions in the 22 weeks of development.
Novell has been credited with a large portion of the contributions made to LibreOffice. When looking through changelogs the name Novell is seen over and over again. They were significant contributors to OpenOffice.org and many of their patches are used in LibreOffice to this day. Novell developers averaged in the neighborhood of 10 contributions per week for a total of 205 since the fork.
Red Hat, who also contributed to OpenOffice.org, has chipped in as well. With usually two contributions per week, Red Hat developers have provided 39 patches since the fork.
The newest known name to join the contributors list is Canonical. They contributed the Human theme and a later fix, but more Ubuntu integration code is likely. Björn Michaelsen contributed 2 patches in the last few weeks so far.
Bosdonnat says there are 133 new coders and 55 localizers since the fork. There seemed to be a slight dip at the end of last year according the graph and Bosdonnat attributes that to the festivities of the holiday season.
Susan Linton is a Linux writer and the owner of tuxmachines.org.
It's open sauce :D
It's great software
Share the power
Enjoy the freedom
Say what you will of Canonical but, there motto and goal of software for humans has changed the demographics of Linux forever. Without their contributions Linux would not be reaching the masses it has. It is good that the mindset of those in Linux land change from "If you can't use the command, line then go back to windows." to "Hey, let's design this software so my grandpa can use it." It is far better for Linux to pull as many users from the windows world as possible.
A few corrections ...
So - the graph doesn't measure absolute patch numbers - but instead the number of individual contributors in each week committing at least one patch on the Y axis, and week number on X. ie. it is a measure of community health and diversity, not the volume of code contribution (which is much huger, and a far more 'spikey' activity).
RedHat has contributed way in excess of 39 patches - being a core contributor from the very beginning.
Similarly Bjoern - has been working for Canonical for 2 weeks, so you will see one of him in the stats for Canonical for the last couple of weeks.
The real number of patches is rather huge, think of ~two orders of magnitude more :-)
Otherwise a great article ! thanks.
Under threat?
Is oo really under threat, that lo had to split off? I do not see oo going away.
Cheap Shots
The trolls in these comments bullying Canonical are disgraceful.
As must as I have issues with Canonical, there is no need for the crude and inappropriate jibes which do nothing to encourage further development of good FOSS. It's cheap, nasty and childish.
As Lucas Nussbaum said, "For those wondering how much work was done by Canonical directly on the Banshee package: the banshee package in Ubuntu natty is based on the package currently in Debian experimental. The package is mainly maintained in Debian by an Ubuntu developer not paid by Canonical AFAIK, Chow Loong Jin. There are some differences between the Debian package and the Ubuntu package, which are fairly limited (full diff here) and mainly about enabling UbuntuOne and disabling the other music stores. That patch itself apparently was provided by Jo Shields, who doesn't seem to be a canonical employee. (Feel free to correct me)"
Pointing out the failings of Canonical and the manipulations of its wannabee astronaut investor is not "bullying". Canonical's efforts to create a saleable investment asset are frequently beyond the community's acceptable limits of conduct. Good luck to anyone making money from FOSS within ethical limits, but Canonical is not an ethical organ.
My major concern is that Novell develops a regime of addons intended to make Libreoffice Mono dependant. Like they try to do with Gnome.
Heavens forbid.
Oracle is not mentioned within the article. Why?
If you take a look at the chart then the blue segments show Oracle's contributions LibreOffice has merged into their build
You mean other than the entire second paragraph?
Oracle is mentioned three times in the second paragraph, pretty much outlining the contributions (such as they are) to the Libre Office code base.

No joke, Tuxy. I don't
No joke, Tuxy. I don't suppose Canonical's patches to LibreOffice include a patch to redirect 70 percent of any donation to Canonical's bank account? Meanwhile, after all the Ubuntu bluster about how much they're "contributing" to the state of Linux GUIs, the most recent statistics still show the likes of Novell, RH, Intel, etc being the largest contributors to X.org development, and Canonical nowhere to be found.
Canonical, defo
Canonical is definitely the greatest contributor. Without Canonical's majestic distribution channels, the stability of the Narwhatsit or the unerring guiding hand of the infallible dicktator, there would be no Free and Open Source Software, no Community - in fact, life as we know it.
"They contributed the Human
"They contributed the Human theme" Ha Ha... Canonical is definitely the future of Linux!
"They contributed the Human
"They contributed the Human theme" so that LibreOffice looks good on Ubuntu.
That's the most important thing to them :(
Opensource for suckers!
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

It was the reality TV showdown that had everyone in a frenzy – now, 'The Real Housewives of New York City's' Ramona and Sonja are giving their side of the story.
Ramona Singer and Sonja Morgan of The Real Housewives of New York City reveal details about their diva costar Aviva Drescher — details that were allegedly left on the cutting room floor.
It's no question that Aviva has been one of the most high-maintenance stars in Housewives history, but even diehard fans of the show raised an eyebrow earlier this month at her feisty behavior.
Marooned in St. Barts, the three ladies got into a heated blowout confrontation, and when Ramona and Sonja were called "white trash" by Aviva, it was the last straw.
"It's vile, it's like using the N word," Ramona told Radar Online of her co-star, who suffers from severe anxiety.
"Aviva is a liar," added Sonja. "She just makes things up, and Ramona and I have only ever been kind to her."
Not helping matters was Aviva's husband, Reid, who called the two women "overweight Girls Gone Wild."
But that's not all. Ramona told Radar Online that there's an even uglier side to their costar that we haven't seen yet: "She was actually much more vicious than viewers saw. Bravo edited it so she didn't look as bad."

Love Sonja, Aviva is vile. She's jelous of Sonja, you can see from hows she tried to set Sonja up with 90 year old perv dad and then attacks her the next week. I could hardly watch when she set poor Sonja up with her dad, made me cringe, Sonja was such a good sport about it but why would Aviva do that? Because Sonja likes sex?! No, she's simply jelous of Sonja. Horrid woman, I was shocked to see her vile true colours.

After researching the problem on the internet I determined it was likely one of three things: IGNITERS (not likely), SWITCHES (possible), or SPARK MODULE (most likely). I ordered the Spark Module on Sunday night and it arrived on Tuesday. I was totally surprised by the speed of delivery. Took about 30 minutes to install and all was well in my home again.

Craveworthy Catfish Recipes
Everyone's heard of that perennial Southern favorite, the catfish po'boy, but we want you to see (and taste) how diverse catfish can be, so we've gathered up a juicy collection of openers, sandwiches, and main course ideas that will help show how much this little fish has to offer.
Enjoying your culinary trip to the South? Continue on with these healthy takes on traditional Southern and soul food recipes.
Buffalo-Style Catfish Strips with Ranch Dressing
The inspiration for this dish is Buffalo chicken wings. We breaded and baked catfish strips, then drizzled them with a spicy sauce. If you're not a huge fan of spicy food, omit the hot pepper sauce.
Crunchy, battered catfish fillets have jumped out of the Louisiana backwaters to become a national favorite, thanks in large part to the Cajun cooking craze that started in the '80s. Here, the fillets are coated in a spicy mélange of cornflakes and pecans and baked for a traditional yet surprisingly healthy take on this bayou favorite.
Pan-Grilled Catfish with Tomato-Chipotle Salsa Over Polenta
Polenta, the Italian cousin of traditional southern grits, is made from finely ground yellow cornmeal. We make this side dish with 1 percent milk and chicken broth to keep it low in fat.
Fried-Catfish Sandwiches with Spicy Mayonnaise
The cornmeal crust on this fried catfish gives this sandwich an appealing and irresistible textural crunch.
Louisiana Catfish with Okra and Corn
Purchased Cajun or Creole seasoning flavors both the catfish and vegetables in this 30-minute dinner. This dish is best with fresh vegetables, but we were pleasantly surprised at how well it turned out with frozen okra and corn. Serve with cheese grits and a green salad.
Although the classic Cajun stew, Étouffée, is usually made with crawfish, we make it here, successfully, with catfish. The cooked butter-and-flour mixture, also called a brown roux, gives the sauce a nutty flavor. We added a bit of reduced-fat sour cream and stewed tomatoes to make the sauce rich and flavorful without a lot of extra calories or fat. Serve with brown rice.
Crispy Fish Sandwiches with Herb Rémoulade
Grilling the fish and making a sauce with fat-free fromage blanc (a fresh, spoonable cheese) keeps the calorie count down in this variation on the classic fried-fish sandwich. While any white fish will work well here, catfish is a sustainable choice and a great source of vitamin B12.

Director Pang Ho Cheung (彭浩翔) draws experiences from his own life in Aberdeen <香港仔>, a film that follows the inner turmoil of a Hong Kong family and loyalty of the heart. Aberdeen is a departure from Pang's speedy filming style, as the film took five years for him to complete the script, two years for pre-production, and eight months to film. Starring Louis Koo (古天樂), Miriam Yeung (楊千嬅), Gigi Leung (梁詠琪), Carrie Ng (吳家麗) and Eric Tsang (曾志偉), the film will open in May.
Tang Bik Chi (Miriam Yeung) and younger brother, Tang Wai Tou (Louis Koo) each carry their own emotional baggage. Bik Chi had committed an act that greatly hurt and angered her mother. Even after her mother's death, Bik Chi could not forgive herself and carried the guilt for years. Although Wai Tou appears to have the perfect marriage with his wife (Gigi Leung), he secretly suspects that their daughter was conceived by another man.
The trailer revealed sex scenes between unlikely couples. Wearing a lacy black bra, Carrie Ng (吳家麗) makes a sexy appearance and tempts Ng Man Tat (吳孟達). Eric Tsang portrays a plastic surgeon who has an affair with his nurse (Jacky Choi 蔡潔).
Louis and Gigi also have their share of kissing and bed scenes. Wearing a monokini in a swimming pool scene, Gigi's figure appeared to be surprisingly voluptuous. Gigi laughed over the effects, "The director is good! You ask [Pang Ho Cheung] why it's like that. I can't reveal any spoilers."

A lot of dysfunctional people.
oh it's called aberdeen. i thought he was coming to aberdeen.
i'm wondering when in may it will be in cinema…
louis koo film this movie in hopes to win a BA actor it was rumoured
Louis still has a long way to go to become BA material but if Nic Tse can win BA for Stool Pigeon why not Louis.
I would think after years and years as leading actor in every other movie released in HK he would have won by now considering there is such a limited pool of actors in HK. I mean every movie is one actor as villain and the other as hero next movie just switch and then 3rd movie switch again, etc etc. Eve on rotation basis he will win one of these days.
I thought he deserved to be the best actor in 2006 for Election 2. No one else could have played that role.
louis acting is good in election 2 but nick cheung and simon yam roles were more challenging to play
louis is one of hk BA

Bullish on banks for now
PUBLISHED: 10 Oct 2012 00:04:59 | UPDATED: 11 Oct 2012 01:49:59PUBLISHED: 10 Oct 2012 PRINT EDITION: 10 Oct 2012
Despite the increase in Bank of Queensland's bad and doubtful debts, Deutsche Bank thinks this is unlikely to be repeated by the other major banks in the 2012 reporting season. The broker says the BoQ announcement is company-specific, but conditions in south-east Queensland are challenging. With economists tipping unemployment to be over 6 per cent by the end of 2013, there is no doubt the bad debt environment will worsen. "At this stage we have left our forecasts unchanged with the major banks to report more detailed credit quality data in the next few weeks, however we do believe that the risks remain to the downside," Deutsche says. Deutsche rates ANZ a "buy".

I have what I guess might be considered a pear/apple melomel chimera. Last fall I had a lot of left over pears and I decided to throw something together. I've brewed a few batches of beer and one batch of mead, but am relatively inexperienced at the brewing process. I really didn't write anything down, but as I remember I simmered and milled the pears to come to about 3 gallons of thick must. I added water and then honey to bring the OG up to about 1.09. I added about a gallon of apple juice to top it off. Pitched some champagne yeast, pectic enzyme and campden tabs and open fermented it in the primary and then an airlocked secondary. It has been racked three times and has been sitting in the still secondary for several months. It's sitting at around 1.0o5 SG So... I haven't done anything with it because it tastes, well, like alcoholic water. At the second racking I added some Cinnamon and clove, and now that is all you can taste. I read that pear imparted very little flavor and that is certainly the case here. I was considering just throwing it in a keg and adding some frozen fruit juice concentrate, maybe cranking up the carbs and make it sparkling to add some interest. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. If the batch is bust, I'm really only out couple of bucks for the ingredients, so no big deal.
How old is this batch now?
About six months.
cooking apples is bad for cider, so I can't imagine it is good to do to pears. What a lot of ciders do is ferment apple juice, and then backsweeten with pear juice to get the pear flavor.
The batch was really just an afterthought. We started out making pearsauce by simmering in a little apple juice unitl just soft enough to run through a food mill. We had way too much to can so I figured I'd throw in some yeast and see what happened. I wouldn't say that the flavor is bad per se, just weak. I will say the bouquet is less than appetizing. I'm interested to know about the back-sweetening. Is there a science to this or do you just add juice and or sugar to taste? What stops the fermentation from starting up again? Thanks for the response!
Sounds like you could have done a pear sauce instead! I don't know much about back sweetening with juice. First you would ferment apple juice dry, and then stabilize it, usually with chemicals, though age does help, too. Then you would add juice, but I don't know how much it takes. Apple cider is sometimes so mild, and other fruits don't do so well fermenting. I've seen it done that way with pear, cherry, black current, pomegranate, and probably some others.

Mother charged in 3-year-old's shooting death
Posted By Editor On December 10, 2013 @ 2:52 pm In Crime and Justice,Local News | Comments Disabled
Greeley, CO – The mother of a 3-year-old who accidentally shot himself in Frederick has been charged with Criminally Negligent Child Abuse Resulting in Death.
Dione Warren turned herself in on the Class 3 felony Monday night.
Warren summoned emergency crews to her home in the 500 block of Pine Street the morning of Oct. 28 and reported finding her son, Sheine Steine, lying on the ground in her bedroom, unresponsive and bleeding from the head, according to police and court records. An autopsy ruled that the child had accidentally shot himself in the head with his stepfather's gun.
The child found the gun between the mattress and frame of the bed after Warren left him home alone while she took her older daughter to school, according to the investigation.
No additional information will be released

ZeptoLab's adorable Cut the Rope 2 is not free-to-play; it costs $.99 to download initially. So players were irked when they discovered that some of the game's content was locked behind in-app purchases when it launched just before the holidays.
Thankfully the developer has updated Cut the Rope 2 to version 1.0.1, adding another way for players to unlock those stages without having to pay for them.
"We hear you loud and clear!" reads the update note on the game's App Store page. "Now unlock secret levels by collecting medals (good ol' clover leaves work just as before)."
Removing free-to-play obstructions from games seems to be a trend lately; Disney did it in Where's My Water 2? in December, and PopCap did the same for Plants vs. Zombies 2 just a week before that.

Guatemala syphilis experiment
The syphilis experiments in Guatemala were United States-led human experiments conducted in Guatemala from 1946 to 1948, during the administration of President Truman and President Juan José Arévalo with the cooperation of some Guatemalan health ministries and officials.[1] Doctors infected soldiers, prostitutes, prisoners and mental patients with syphilis and other sexually transmitted diseases, without the informed consent of the subjects, and treated most subjects with antibiotics. This resulted in at least 83 deaths.[2] In October 2010, the U.S. formally apologized to Guatemala for conducting these experiments.
The experiments were led by United States Public Health Service physician John Charles Cutler, who later took part in the late stages of the Tuskegee syphilis experiment.[3] In archived documents, Dr. Thomas Parran, Jr., the U.S. Surgeon General at the time of the experiments, acknowledged that the Guatemalan work could not be done domestically, and details were hidden from Guatemalan officials.[4][5]
The experiments were funded by a grant from the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) to the Pan American Sanitary Bureau and involved multiple Guatemalan government ministries.[1] A total of about 1500 study subjects were involved although the findings were never published.[1]
Information about these experiments was uncovered by Professor Susan Mokotoff Reverby of Wellesley College. Reverby found the documents in 2005 while researching the Tuskegee syphilis study, in Cutler's archived papers, and shared her findings with United States government officials.[1][4]
While the Tuskegee experiment followed the natural progression of syphilis in those already infected, in Guatemala doctors deliberately infected healthy people with the diseases, some of which can be fatal if untreated. The goal of the study seems to have been to determine the effect of penicillin in the prevention and treatment of venereal diseases. The researchers paid prostitutes infected with syphilis to have sex with prisoners and some subjects were infected by directly inoculating them with the bacterium.[1] When the subjects contracted the disease they were given antibiotics. Although adequate penicillin therapy was prescribed for 76% of subjects, completion of therapy was documented for only 26%.[citation needed] Francis Collins, the NIH director at the time of the revelations, called the experiments "a dark chapter in history of medicine" and commented that modern rules prohibit conducting human subject research without informed consent.[6]
The study appears to have ended in 1948, partly because of medical "gossip" about the work, and partly because penicillin was very costly. However, some follow-up laboratory testing and patient observation continued until the early 1950s.
Additionally, similar research was also conducted on the transmission and prophylaxis of gonorrhea and chancroid.[7] The subjects for all of the STD experiments consisted of female sex workers, prisoners, soldiers, and mental hospital patients; the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention acknowledges that "the design and conduct of the studies was unethical in many respects, including deliberate exposure of subjects to known serious health threats, lack of knowledge of and consent for experimental procedures by study subjects, and the use of highly vulnerable populations."[7]
Apology and response[edit]
In October 2010, the U.S. government formally apologized and announced that the violation of human rights in that medical research was still to be condemned, regardless of how much time had passed.[8][9] [10]In a joint statement, Hillary Clinton and Kathleen Sebelius said:
Although these events occurred more than 64 years ago, we are outraged that such reprehensible research could have occurred under the guise of public health. We deeply regret that it happened, and we apologize to all the individuals who were affected by such abhorrent research practices. The conduct exhibited during the study does not represent the values of the US, or our commitment to human dignity and great respect for the people of Guatemala.[11]
President Barack Obama apologized to President Álvaro Colom, who had called these experiments "a crime against humanity".[12]
"It is clear from the language of the report that the U.S. researchers understood the profoundly unethical nature of the study. In fact the Guatemalan syphilis study was being carried out just as the "Doctors' Trial" was unfolding at Nuremberg (December 1946 – August 1947), when 23 German physicians stood trial for participating in Nazi programs to euthanize or medically experiment on concentration camp prisoners."[13]
The U.S. government asked the Institute of Medicine to conduct a review of these experiments.[1] Separately, the Presidential Commission for the Study of Bioethical Issues was asked to convene a panel of international experts to review the current state of medical research on humans around the world and ensure that such incidents cannot be repeated.[1] The Commission report, Ethically Impossible: STD Research in Guatemala from 1946 to 1948, published in September 2011, concluded that "the Guatemala experiments involved unconscionable basic violations of ethics, even as judged against the researchers' own recognition of the requirements of the medical ethics of the day."[14][15]
Human rights activists have called for subjects' families to be compensated.[3]

Titus Welliver, best known for playing "the man in black" on Lost, recently did an interview speaking about the upcoming seaboot (sequel/reboot) in Transformers: Age of Extinction. He only spoke very broadly about the film, but he did mention that this film in particular is a "more of a darker vision" and is "Not a kids movie, I'll tell you that much". Hit the jump for the full quote:
(via Nerdest)
How was it for the actor, best known for his roles on The Good Wife and Argo, stepping into the huge Transformers summer movie franchise? "I've now won the hard earned respect of my children because I'm in aTransformers film, and I've always wanted to work with Michael Bay and certainly Mark Wahlberg and Kelsey Grammer." And what can fans look forward to in this installment? "It's a bit more of a darker vision of the Transformers world… It's not a kids movie, I'll tell you that much."
While this is certainly welcome news, it does seem odd to me that Michael Bay and company would make a darker Transformers movie, when it's a lighter tone that made the last three successful (at least financially). I don't necessarily think that Welliver is implying that the film could have potential for an R rating, he is just saying that it has a different tone than the others. Moreso than this, it is important to understand that Welliver is speaking as a person who acted in the film, not one who has direct control over the direction of the film itself. Only time will tell how different this Transformers will be from previous installments, as the film is set for release on June 27, 2014.

But each child is burdened with beliefs. Parents are in such a hurry that before the child starts thinking on his own he has to be poisoned - because who knows, he may not agree with his parents, with his tradition, if he starts thinking on his own. And I can see that their concern is relevant: if a person starts thinking on his own, all traditions will disappear from the world. Once you start inquiring on your own you will accept only that which you have experienced. You will not accept anything which has simply been given to you by others, handed over to you by generations for thousands of years.
Everybody begins life from a wrong step; the very first step goes wrong. Once you accept something, then you have colored glasses on your eyes and everything looks of the same color.
These religions have certainly something to do with the unhygienic, malnourished and miserable peoples of the earth. Their basic approach is anti-life. But to teach anybody an anti-life philosophy will not be right, because even a child will start asking embarrassing questions. Why should one be anti-life? - life is so beautiful! All that is beautiful is beautiful because it is alive. And life is created by God - why should he create something which has to be discarded and renounced?
Hence, these people don't teach anti-life attitudes directly; they go indirectly, in roundabout ways: they teach you anti-sexual attitudes. That is an indirect way to put negativity in your mind and heart against all that exists. But it is a very cunning way, because nobody can immediately see that life and sex are synonymous. Unless you are very intelligent you will not see the point that all life exists through sex, comes through sex. You are born through sex, your parents were born through sex. The whole of life is sexual.
The flowers that you think beautiful - and your poets go on praising them - are sexual expressions of the trees, that is their sexuality. Those beautiful roses are not meant for your garlands; those beautiful roses have something to do with the sexuality of the rosebush. When the cuckoo starts calling from a distant, faraway place, it sounds so beautiful, but it is not calling you, neither your poets, nor your musicians. The cuckoo is not interested in your poetry, in your music, et cetera. That call of the cuckoo is sexual. And remember, the call is coming from the male cuckoo, not from the female. Females don't call. It is the male cuckoo who is trying to allure the female, attract the female.
Have you watched it? - a very rare phenomenon. Look around. You will always find the male more beautiful, more musical, more decorated than the female - except man. The beautiful peacock with all its rainbow-colored feathers is the male; compared to it the female looks very ordinary. All the songs are sung by male birds, not by female birds. The reason is that the female is beautiful just by being female - that's enough. The male has to show, to manifest, to decorate.
In the ancient days this was the case with men too. You must have seen the statues of Krishna and the pictures of Krishna - you can see it. Krishna must be very ancient. His long hairs, and he is using all kinds of ornaments, his beautiful silk dress, his posture - that of a dancer - he looks very feminine.

Excell Energy Pill Review
What You Should Know
Click Here To See Our Highest Rated Review
The official website for Excell Energy Pill boasts some pretty interesting claims. The supplement is marketed for more than just energy. The manufacturer claims you can cure a hangover, increase sexual pleasure, lose weight, and "excell" at anything in life with the supplement. These are some huge claims for a weight loss supplement.
List of Ingredients
Licorice Root, Bitter Orange, Fo-ti, Bay-Chi, Sukday and Lycii Berries.
Product Features
The first ingredient that caught our attention was Bitter Orange. Bitter Orange is an alternate name for synephrine, which is currently being studied due to having similar side effects to Ephedra. The stimulant is strong and will increase energy and heart rate significantly. With strong stimulation comes the potential for nausea, irritability, and jitters none of which are mentioned on the Excell Energy Pill website.
Licorice Root, the most abundant ingredient in Excell Energy Pill, has been linked to increased blood pressure and heart problems when taken in high concentrations. People with preexisting heart conditions may have negative reactions with only a small amount of licorice root. Positive clinical studies have been linked to decreased fat stores, but only in larger amounts – 3,500 mg per day to be exact. Excell Energy Pill does not list the total amount of licorice root in each suggested dose.
Bay Chi, also known as Astralagus, works in the body to decrease blood pressure and stop sweating. If there is alot of Bitter Orange in the supplement, this ingredient could be used to counteract the effects of stimulation.
The remaining ingredients work to enhance memory, balance adrenaline, and improve breathing. None of which will effect the amount of weight loss. Excell Energy Pill retails for $49.99 per bottle. There is a 100% money back guarantee when ordering Excell Energy Pill.
- All ingredients are listed.
- A 100% money back guarantee is offered.
- Bitter orange will increase heart rate and stimulate calorie burn.
- Bitter orange is a strong stimulant.
- Not every ingredient is included to affect weight loss.
- Licorice root has been linked to increase blood pressure and heart troubles.
Excell Energy Pill is an energy pill through and through. The weight loss benefits claimed by the manufacturer will come as a result of strong stimulation. Licorice root is not a safe ingredient for every dieter. Dieters with heart problems should not take this supplement as Bitter Orange may also have negative side effects on the heart.

Are Current Antivirus Programs Able to Detect Complex Metamorphic Malware? an Empirical Evaluation
Free registration required
Executive Summary
In this paper, the authors present the design of a metamorphic engine representing a type of hurdle that antivirus systems need to get over in their fight against malware. First they describe the two steps of the engine replication process : obfuscation and modeling. Then, they apply this engine to a real worm to evaluate current antivirus products detection capacities. This assessment leads to a classification of detection tools, based on their observable behavior, in two main categories: the first one, relying on static detection techniques, presents low detection rates obtained by heuristic analysis. The second one, composed of dynamic detection programs, focuses only on elementary suspicious actions.

Specifically, our research focus is centered on studies of infectious agents using systems biological approaches and the principles of biocomplexity. Understanding of the complex programs that lead to the development of a pathogen, and the even more intricate relationship between the host and the pathogen are the thrust of this effort. Faculty using the tools of genomics, bioinformatics, computational and mathematical biology, and proteomics will continue to be recruited to enhance existing programs in various departments in the School of Medicine (Medicine, Infectious Disease, Microbiology and Immunology, Biochemistry and Molecular Biophysics, Pharmacology, etc.), the School of Dentistry (Phillips Institute), the School of Pharmacy (Medicinal Chemistry), and the School of Humanities and Sciences (Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics and Applied Mathematics). Programs of existing faculty are continually supported as they make the transition to use of systems strategies for research. Infrastructure is being enhanced to support all of these efforts.

MEDFORD, Ore. — Saturday a forum was held in Medford to discuss the so called "revolving door" for people living with mental illness.
A panel composed of mental health specialists and law enforcement discussed the issues surrounding the procedure for a mentally ill person who needs help.
Some on the panel are advocating for changes to be made at the state level to allow for more preventative care.
"If they could get the help sooner which I call preventative help, it would save them and they could get on with their lives and perhaps have a normal life, maybe get a job, maybe marry, maybe have children," said Patricia Garoutte with NAMI Southern Oregon.
Officials say statistics show about 40% of people with serious mental illness have been in jail at some point in their lives.

Arguably, the biggest update of all is that the game is now a cross-buy purchase for PS3 and PS4, so you'll get two copies for the price of one. Or rather, two for half the price of one; the game's initial price of $20 has been cut down to $10 across all platforms, which means that the game is now both tinier and larger. Whoa. We ... we may need to sit down.
