MF Architecture Builds A House Around A Tree
Matt Fajkus Architecture, or MF Architecture, designed this modern house in Austin, Texas that's built around an oak tree. Dubbed the Tree House, each of the rooms of the house look out onto the tree, whose canopy stretches out and shades the outdoor space.
The front part of the house is a two-story structure which sets the tone for its street presence. Extending back from there are one-story wings on each side of the tree creating a private backyard retreat.
Contemporary Ranch in Texas Showcasing a Precious Interior
Michael Malone Architects, a studio design from Dallas, Texas has recently defined a gorgeous residential project, aiming to bring together a sophisticated design style and a stunning green site, creating a particular spot that induces a strong feeling of leisure and recreation. The Raven Lake Ranch is a modern ranch, with sub-urbanesque details, neat, elegant and last, but not least, spacious. The project spreads over 2,700 square foot, being surrounded by a private emerald-like garden, offering an interesting view over the maze of trees. The clients were really satisfied with the work, pointing on the strong connection with the nature: "It's as close as you can get to living outdoors and being sheltered".
Simple from the outside, but extremely glamorous on the inside, the Raven Lake Ranch is fascinating in every single way. By restoring classic design and adding a glimpse of contemporary to it, the interior becomes significantly modern and somehow, more functional. Neutral tones populate the living and impressing floor to ceiling windows let the light and nature "flood" the house. The ceilings are a little bit higher than what we are used to, emphasising the house's precious look. Rich and opulent chandeliers embellish the living room, while candles are used for a more romantic décor.

Feminazis (Read Before Commenting, Please)The opinions in this journal are my own and you don't have to agree. If you don't, that's perfectly fine. If you do, I appreciate it.-Okay, first off, I know the word 'feminazi' tends to insult feminists often and 'radical feminist' would be the more appropriate term, but those who seek to abolish men's rights in their entirety are often not true feminists and calling them feminists is an insult to those who use the term correctly. I have absolutely nothing against women who fight for equal rights. As a matter of fact, I respect you greatly. The point of this journal is just to vent a bit about how I personally feel about the so-called 'feminazis' who are nothing but sexists and are giving feminism a terrible, terrible name.I know first hand what feminazis are like because I live with one. I don't see how someone who claims to be all for equality can sit there and rant about how all men deserve to be treated like dirt becaus
White Knights and 'Bullying'This rant depicts my own personal opinion, and as always, you aren't obligated to agree. If you don't, that's cool. If you do, thank you! I was also noted by AgentMaryland93 who asked if I would ever consider ranting about this, and even though I think I've touched on it before, it's been a while since I've gotten a good suggested rant, so...I see no issue in writing it. --You know, bullying is something that should be obliterated in most cases, but the funny thing is that--like many, many other things--some people don't know how to discern something serious from petty foolishness. I've said it before and I'll say it again: Criticism on your art or other work, unless given by someone who has personal beef with you and is deliberately trying to hurt you, is not a good reason to say you're being bullied. Because you are not. Learning to tell the difference can save you and others a lot of drama.Yes, some critiques can be harsh and blunt. That's just
Rant: Shipping Real PeopleThe opinions in this rant are my own and you don't have to agree. If you don't, cool. If you do, thanks.--Shipping. Many of us do it. We like to pair up fictional characters for a variety of reasons. We may think they go together, we may do it as a joke, whatever. I personally don't ship many characters (unless they're ocs/they were created to go together), because I think it can ruin good fiction in some cases, and pairing up two characters who obviously don't go together at all makes no sense. However, if I do do it, I do it for the hell of it and don't flaunt it proudly all over the internet because let's face it, there's enough shipping out there. But the point I'm trying to make here is how ridiculous and almost...creepy...it is to ship real life human beings.Like I've said, and this goes for many things: sometimes things that are perfectly okay in the fictional world are completely unacceptable in reality and we sh
Fake Sexualities/GendersThe opinions in this journal are my own and you don't have to agree. If you don't, fine. If you do, thanks!!--You all know I support the hell out of my lovelies in the LGBT community. I don't care what your sexuality is, be it gay, lesbian, pansexual, bisexual, whatever. But what really irks me is people coming up with all these crazy terms for new 'sexualities' and 'genders' that either 1) already exist, they're just trying to make it sound cooler or 2) they need a term to justify themselves and what they think they are. I can't support someone who says they're something when the term was coined by a fifteen year old SJW who just thought it up one day. Not saying something created by a young person is illegitimate, but it seems people just run with this shit as if it's serious and a big deal.It amazes me the things people come up with nowadays. I've seen terms like 'chocosexuality', meaning you're only attracted to people who are covered in chocolate, and also
Rant: Body ShamingThe opinions in this journal are my own and you don't have to agree. If you don't, that's fine. If you do, thanks!--Body shaming seems to be a new thing on the list of pastimes for people who have nothing better to do. It doesn't matter what type of body you have, there's going to be someone who thinks it's not good enough. Even if you have the stereotypical 'perfect' Barbie body, someone is going to hate it and think you're ugly. If you have a large chest, you look like 'a whore'. If you have rock hard abs, you look too 'athletic and muscular'. If a man doesn't have huge biceps and pecs, they look like a 'pansy'. If you have a soft tummy with a bit of pudge, you're too fat. If you're naturally thin, you're 'anorexic and need a sandwich'.Now, I'm not supporting morbid obesity or extreme thinness in any way, because being too big or too thin is obviously a threat to health. I don't care what you look like, but nobody needs their bodies to be damaged, of course.Why can
Why Is Someone's Sexuality So Serious?The opinions in this (short) journal are my own and you don't have to agree. If you don't, that's fine. If you do, thanks!--You know what kind of...irks me a bit? When people, random-ass people, just butt into someone else's business and get all curious about their sexuality or who they're with. What does it matter? It's like "you're a little different than I expected you to be, so you must be -insert sexuality here-" or "you're with -insert person here-, so you must be -insert some bullshit here-". So why go around asking people "are you gay/bi/a lesbian/etc."? I understand that you may be curious, and that's only natural, but there are just some people who make someone's sexuality or love life into a big deal.It's not that serious...I don't care what someone's sexuality is or who they choose to be in love with. I just care if they're decent and have a good personality. That's what matters. I think people do it just so they can go around saying "hey, did you know so-and-so's gay/b
'Popular Artists'/DeviantSnobsThe opinions in this rant are my own and if you don't agree, that's okay. If you do, I really appreciate it!--It's great that some people get recognized for their work. If someone's talented and puts effort into what they do, by all means they should be seen for it. But what bothers me is when a super popular artist acts as though their art is better than everyone else's and should be treated as such. No, I'm not complaining and saying everyone, no matter how inexperienced they are at art, should be worshipped. If that was the case, no one would ever improve because they'd stop trying. I think some artists actually do stop trying because, hey, whatever they post will end up on the front page anyway and they really don't have to prove anything to anyone anymore. An artist should NEVER stop trying to get better, and they surely shouldn't act like they don't need to improve because they already have so many followers who love their work as it is. It's also hilarious h
Rant: Stop Trying to Save People by Being a DickRant inspired by this stamp: (Hope you don't mind I got rant material from this. It's a good stamp.)--The biggest excuse Christians have when it comes to anyone who isn't heterosexual is this: "You're going to hell! I need to take it upon myself to save you."Uh, no. Yes, being a Christian, I know you're supposed to turn people toward God and tell them about him. But it's not your call to "save" people, especially when all you're really doing is making yourself look like a bigot with a superiority complex who thinks they have the right to tell others what to do and who to love. If I really made it a goal in my life to turn non-straight people toward God, I'd tell them about his acceptance and love and not that he's gonna send them straight to the fiery pit of hell. Honestly, would you want to believe in a god that was described in such a way? Some Christians are nothing but hypocrites and they're tainting their own religion by b
Rant: You're Too Sensitive to be Called Out, Eh?I think we've all dealt with at least one person in our lives who's considered themselves too sensitive or too 'perfect' to be called out on their stupidity or told how things should be. Or even be given advice.No, contrary to what some may think because of my rants and what-not, I'm not the type to go around and try to boss people around or try to tell them what they should be doing in life. The only times I try to help people or correct some idiotic behavior is when one or more of these things happen:You personally come to me and ask me for advice.You keep griping about something until I finally come out and tell you what I think.I see something that bothers me beyond reason and I express my opinion.But what I can't stand is when I try to give a little tough love or try to help you out and you act like you're too good for it. It's one thing to bitch and moan and then reject help when you get it, but it's a whole other thing to have someone try to help you and you insult them by
Rant: You're Not Just A NumberThe opinions in this journal are my own, and you don't have to agree. If you don't, fine. If you do, thank you.--We all know numbers are important for everyday life. We didn't sit through boring math classes, impatiently tapping our pencils on our desks and staring longingly at the clock a la Britney Spears for nothing. But why is it that numbers have to define us in today's society?It doesn't matter what the topic is, some number will pop in, and if yours isn't high or low enough, you're kicked down a couple notches to be replaced by someone else who can fit the bill. If your weight is a little higher or lower than the next person's or the size of your pants is larger or smaller, you're 'worth less' or 'ugly'. If you don't have as high a number of followers on your social networking site, you're not 'popular'. If you're older than the next person or maybe even younger, you strive to be their age. People nowadays are always trying to 'look younger, not older', and even though t
Racist or Not?The opinions in this journal are my own, and you don't have to agree. If you don't, that's fine! If you do, thank you!--It seems people over the internet like to liken everything someone does in the name of being interested in a culture to racism. Yes, there's a fine line between finding another culture appealing and being racist--at least to me--and it's quite easy to cross that line if you aren't careful. But I do believe some people take it too far and point fingers at anyone who's trying to learn a new language, or enjoys art of said culture, or whatever else they can put the blame on them for.For example, the white girl who is studying to learn Japanese is called racist or 'just another weeaboo'. Why? Do you think Japanese people care if we try to learn their language? I doubt it. The only ones who do care are crazy Japan-fans who think everything we do is offensive to the Japanese. I occasionally eat with chopsticks. Is that racist? I used to own and wear a kimono. Is that off
It's Funny How People Do This"You have a problem? Sure, I'll listen."-10 minutes later-"Oh my God, that's all that's wrong with you? Quit being such a baby and suck it up. You have a mental disorder? Pfft, you're faking it. You haven't eaten anything today? You've been diagnosed with anorexia? Just eat a damn sandwich for Pete's sake! You'll be fine! You'll get over it. It's not as serious as you think, stop being weak. You're scared? Big baby. Grow up. Your parents are fighting and you're uncomfortable in your own house? Probably your fault for being such a freeloader. You're failing in school because of X, Y, and Z? Your fault. You're a self-harmer? Emo. You're just an emo looking to fit in with the trends. You were raped? With your looks, you should be thanking him. Stop doing this, that, and the other thing, and your life will be so much better! You should be more like me. I don't let things get to me! I don't get stressed out like you. Me, me, me....Of course, you can talk to me about anything! I don't ju
It's Not A GameI've already made a couple rants about this type of thing, and it's been suggested by a few people, but this time...it's really not going to be a rant. I just want to write this because I feel like I need to, and I think it will help people. I'm not going to curse like a sailor, I'm not going bash anyone, I'm not going to go nuts like I usually do. I want to bring awareness to mental disorders so maybe I can find solace in helping my friends or anyone else, and then they can feel better by knowing someone understands their problems.I wish people would stop treating mental illnesses like they're some kind of a joke. Now, sounds ironic that I'm writing this just after writing a journal about not using your autism as an excuse for your actions. Yes, but that's the thing. People use mental illnesses as some sort of a crutch or a fashion statement or a trend that they can lean on or use to look 'cool and edgy'. Either that, or they just blow it off like the real sufferers are faking.
Rant: This Is Why We Can't Have Nice ThingsThe opinions in this rant are my own and you don't have to agree. If you don't, fine. If you do, thanks. And yes, I'm well aware that this is something I've written about before. I just got inspired by something my girlfriend told me and I honestly don't know what else to rant about.--We all have opinions and we should learn to respect that we're all different and, as human beings, we're all going to like, dislike, love, and sometimes even hate things with burning passions. So why is it such a big deal what others are into? That's one thing I don't get. People get attacked for being fans of something or not liking it, even if they aren't bothering a single soul. No, I can't stand fantards. Taking anything to an extreme and becoming too obsessed is a no-no and I don't like dealing with people like that. But there's absolutely nothing wrong with being a fan of something, just as there's nothing wrong with disliking something.We can express our opinions on things without
How to Win Internet Fights!!...or at least keep your dignity.The number of people who fight over the internet is amazing, and the main point of most of the fights is that they're petty, childish, and funny as hell to watch. Is someone picking fights with you over the interwebs? Are they pissing you off and making you oh so homicidal? If so, this is what you should do!1. Stop capitalizing everything you say. Caps lock doesn't help your case at all. They cannot hear you. It's not like you're physically yelling at them. You just let them know you're raging at your computer. And we all know that your rage means you absolutely, under no circumstances, care what they think.2. Stay away from irrelevant insults, but if you must use them, make them smart and logical. Whether you know it or not, it's hard to be offended by being called a name that is so far from wrong it's not even funny. Insults don't win arguments, but it's better to look knowledgeable than like a doofus who's pulling 'totes offensive' bullshit o
Rant: Equality, Not SuperiorityYou know what I find hilarious? The fact that some women out there whine about equal rights, yet they still want to be treated like a princess when it comes down to it. It's also funny when men want to be treated equally yet they don't want to be called out on their sexist bullshit.Let me break it down...Women are just as smart, capable, able, strong, and talented as men and should be treated with respect. We should be taken seriously when we need to be, and we should be seen with as much potential as anyone else. But when you claim to be all for equality, stop fighting for superiority. You're just making yourself look sexist. I thought that's what you were trying to rid from the world?Men, you're just as worthy as women. You're also just as smart, capable, and strong. Just as you are apt to be hurt, abused, taken advantage of, and treated like shit as females--sometimes by females. But when you start acting like all women
Immature Internet BullyingWe all know that bullying is becoming more and more prevalent on different websites, with Tumblr especially being a big, fat cesspool of hatred in general. Every time I turn around, I see a new report of bullying that went too far or see some screencapped hate messages that are so incredibly unnecessary and ridiculous that I don't even try to debunk why people feel the need to send them anymore. I'm just going to give my two cents on the whole situation. Firstly, the trend of telling anyone who's not as "good" as you to kill themselves is as useless as tits on a nun. I'm sorry for the crassness of that expression, but it's the truth. Look, I know it can be fun to screw around with some people, but you have to be completely devoid of any empathy or decent traits to do that. Besides the fact that it's cruel and wrong, it makes you no more mature than a preschooler. Not everyone can be as "superior" as you apparently are, and telling them to kill or harm themselves is just a way for
Rant: 'Kill Yourself'Note: This rant depicts my own personal opinion, and you're not obligated to agree. That's your business, if you don't. If you do agree with me, thank you!--I swear, youtube comments are a perfect thing to read to get up the inspiration to rant, you know? There's one type of comment that makes me want to spit iron nails, whether it's used in a trolling manner or not."Kill yourself."And it's not just on youtube. It's here on dA, I imagine it's prevalent on tumblr, too, and...I really don't see the point. Mainly because it's spat at people for the dumbest reasons. You're overweight? Kill yourself. You have a disease or deformation? Kill yourself. You enjoy drawing a certain thing or aren't as great at art as the next guy? Kill yourself. You're talking about past suicide attempts and how you recovered from it? Guess what, you should'a killed yourself.No. It's just wrong. Yeah, some people who enjoy trolling are going to say it in order to be a je
RANT: One DirectionOk so first of all, if you're a directioner, I'm not here to ram you into my opinion or try to offend any of you. I'm going to put this in the nicest way I can. Unfortunately, One Direction isn't my type of music. In fact, I could say I hate it, but before anyone starts dissing me, please read on. So I'm going to talk about the Directioners first. The reason I choose to talk about Directioners is because some have been completely ruining my days. I just kind of want to let it out of my chest. Directioners can be cool people. I know a few, they're pretty nice. But there are a LOT that I have encountered. I have never said any such offending thing to Directioners or One Direction, but I went and told a few Directioners in front of me, me not knowing they were Directioners, I told them that I never really enjoyed the music of One Direction. I literally said it in that manner, not viciously, not cruel, just speaking my opinion in a soft tone, nicely. They threw a bunch of dea

That's what I call hard headed ness. EDIT: I totally forgot one thing. Her drawing style. Now, I have nothing against her drawing style and some might say this would be a case of good (decent) art and bad artists. Her color style on the other hand, I abhor. Really, I'll pull an example. Seriously, is it that hard to color in one direction?Hello again my lovely watchers~Recently I have been dealing with a person whose stupidity rivals that of my past self. And her name is DarkKillerPincess. A girl who takes everything out of character, is in a relationship with a teenager, and possibly a pedophile.My problems with this girl began the moment I met her.

Kisekae is not art.I know this may come off as a rant, but I could care less. Kisekae. It's on this site. For those who don't know, it's more like a doll maker, expect with elements that aren't suited for kids. There's an entire group for this stuff, even though it's clear that none of said members read :faq502:.But seriously, does anyone here think these are art? To be frank, it's not. It's a doll maker, premade for you. Everything is done for you, and there's no artistic skill involved in it. I could apply this to all doll makers to be quite honest, people upload them as art and expect to be praised for their unskilled creations. (I have no problem with anyone uploading these as scraps, considering that is where they belong.)This pisses me off because people are assuming it is art. When, it's not. I dislike the way people use this program and pass off premade and expressionless dolls as art. And then the fact they yell at you f
Rant: Nobody Cares if You've 'Done It' or NotThe opinions in this rant are my own, and if you don't agree, that's fine. You're not obligated to. If you do agree with me, thank you!--You know what pisses me off? When people act like if you're a virgin, it's some kind of a sin and you need to have sex like RIGHT NAO or you're going to die alone and be miserable. Similarly, when some virgins act like being a virgin automatically makes them the most saintly thing in the world.People always tell me "Kyra, you need to get laid! You need to do it with someone! Blah blah blah". Um, what if I'm perfectly happy in this life not screwing everything I set my sights on, huh? I'm happy the way I am and don't need someone telling me to go be a slut or else I'll be sad all the time. I don't have a desire to do that at this point in my life, and there's nothing wrong with that. I'm perfectly fine with my fantasies and interests, but I don't have a mighty need to go out in the world and make them a reality, you know?And

Emmett Cullen Opinion Article
10 reasons why I love Emmett Cullen!
1) His sense of humor! When things get really rough, he always finds a way to joke about it! Comic releif!
2) Well dude, what you seen the guy? O_O Hot! Buff! Yeah! I like. 3) He's the teddy bear, and I wanna hug him! hehe. 4) Even if he is a goofball, he's very protective of his family. Don't mess with people he loves. He'll tear you apart and burn the pieces ;) 5) He sees Rose as an Angel. Being that Rose is the complete oposet, its very sweet that in his eyes, she is an angel. =) 6) He knows he's stronger than you, and he'll prove it! I love his cockiness, though it didn't do him much good when Bella beat him, more than likely he'll beat her once she isn't a newborn anymore =) 7) He was all for Bella being turned into a Vamp! Everyone else just said yes or no, but he made his funny and less serios, "Hell yes! We'll pick a fight with Demetri some other time" ( I'm not sure if those were his exact words, but something along those lines ) 8) He doesn't have a problem with speaking his mind, no matter how inappropriate it is. Like him messing with Bella about her and Edward's sex life, so funny! 9) Ahaha because he thought because her name was Bella, of course she would love italian food! Duh. 10) And last but not least. Because he's simply Emmett! Everyone, if they are sane, either thinks he's funny/hot/buff/cute/ whatever! He's adorable! He stands by his woman and his family, he knows who he is, no one can change him. He's awesome! Anyways, thats it! =) Hope you enjoyed my little fangirl article =) -Cee |

By Jon Geller, DVM
Q. My male Rat Terrier is 9-months-old and because of financial worries, we have been unable to get him neutered. There are programs to assist with this procedure, but because of the added complication of a testicle that has not dropped, its still very expensive. Is it possible that this testicle issue is affecting his ability to go for long periods of times without urinating? Or make it less controllable? When I take him out some mornings he will lift his leg and go a little, then he will also go outside. My thought was perhaps the testicle was pressing on his bladder. Or is it because he's an unfixed male and he's marking his territory? Either way, housebreaking him has been a challenge in itself. I have sought some online guidance for training him, and have put a training plan into effect. But I wanted to explore all the possibilities.
A. Most likely your Rat Terrier is displaying marking behavior, partly due to high-testosterone levels. A retained testicle does not usually cause your dogs urination problem by pushing on the bladder, but definitely secretes testosterone.
The longer you wait for the neutering surgery, the more ingrained the marking behavior will become.
Surgery for a cryptorchid (undescended testicle) definitely will be more expensive than a routine neutering. Sometimes abdominal exploration is required, since the testicle can be found anywhere from the inguinal ring, located near the groin, to the kidney.
Hopefully, you can find a way to get the surgery done in the near future to help your dog with his urination issues. Most likely, it will help solve the urination problem.
Best, Jon Geller, DVM

Related News Federal Bill Promotes Speed Cameras Over Red Light Cameras Iowa Supreme Court Backs Speed Cameras Ohio Supreme Court Makes Pro Traffic Cameras Ruling Final Arizona Legislature Considers Banning Photo Radar Missouri Lawmakers Consider Banning Traffic, License Plate Cameras View Main Topics: Subscribe via RSS or E-Mail Back To Front Page |
5/8/2008 Colorado: Freeway Photo Radar ApprovedColorado approves freeway speed cameras. Creates possibity of ticket for failing to move over for photo radar van. The Colorado state legislature gave its final approval last week to legislation allowing the use of speed cameras in highway work zones. The move was part of a series of bills designed to raise $18.1 million annually for the state budget through increased traffic fine amounts and expanded ticketing operations. The latest measure was approved by a 61-2 margin in the state House and 22-12 in the state Senate. Governor Bill Ritter (D) has indicated his intention to sign the bill into law next week. The new program will first create a "work zone" where speed limits are lowered and fines doubled for up to four hours before any worker actually shows up. During this time, conventional police enforcement would issue newly boosted fines of up to $540 each. Once a highway worker arrives, a private company can activate photo radar vans capable of issuing thousands of citations per day. The Colorado Department of Transportation would pay this company a bounty for each ticket it is able to issue using gas tax money. The legislation then makes it possible for police to ticket any vehicle that passes a speed camera van that is parked on the side of the road if the motorist had been in an adjacent lane and failed to "move over" to the left. Several states already require motorists to take similar actions for marked ambulances and police cars, but Colorado will become the first to add "privately owned vehicles as are designated by the state motor vehicle licensing agency necessary to the preservation of life and property." Tow trucks "approved by the public utilities commission" would also fall under this broad definition of safety vehicles. In 2006, Illinois pioneered the concept of using freeway work zone speed cameras to generate millions in the name of protecting construction workers. Studies show that only 15 percent of freeway construction zone injuries are actually caused by automobiles. The vast majority of work zone "vehicle" accidents were found to involve workers injured by their own construction equipment. A full copy of the legislation is available in a 55k PDF file at the source link below.

Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports that the Diamondbacks have called up 23-year-old prospect Jake Lamb, a 2012 sixth-round pick who's hit .321 in three seasons as a pro.
Lamb was just promoted from Double-A to Triple-A last week, so it's a little odd to see the Diamondbacks jumping the third baseman all the way to the majors now.
He's hit .327 with 15 homers, 39 doubles, and a .973 OPS in 108 total games this season and has topped a .925 OPS in each of his three seasons in the minors. He figures to take over as the starter at third base, where the Diamondbacks had been using former top prospect Andy Marte since trading Martin Prado to the Yankees.

He was called up and not traded right? You sure you read that right?

Fort Denison Island
DESPITE offering one of the most stunning views available in Sydney and sitting alone in a supremely tranquil setting, the restaurant at Fort Denison fails to take one's breath away and leaves one with the parting thought of what could have been.
Given that the summer wind was kicking up a fierce gale, the outdoor seating area at Fort Denison was covered in a cheap, plastic marquee. Inside, a rough carpet bobbled and peeled like the cheapest wedding venue carpet, parcel tape struggling to hold down the uneven surface. The white tablecloths were far from perfect and the table at which we were seated had several food spills from the previous party.
We were seated in a restuarant at about 25% of capacity and yet the waiter informed us that there were no menus available and so we would have to wait until such became available. I wondered what the restaurant would do on a busy occasion - besides our table, only one table of four had menus out with the remaining three tables already dining. Four menus for a place with over fifty covers? Ludicrously poor form.
The waiter was polite, if uninformed. When asked what sauce accompanied the roast chicken dish, he reverted to the kitchen. Upon his return, he offered up a French name for the sauce only to be asked what was contained in the sauce - to which he shrugged his shoulders. It seemed the waiting staff were all rushed - thought quite what for was a mystery.
The food arrived - one fishcake entree, one leg of lamb entree and the beef tataki (which is essentially carpaccio of beef), as well as mains of fish and chips, chicken breast and the prawns with chorizo - and few people on the table were impressed.
The fish and chips was described as "from frozen" and its appearance did not belie that fact. The beef tataki was a tiny portion and it required a side of chips to make anything like a meal out of it - at $19 one might reasonably expect a larger portion. The chips - these are just French fries straight from a bag - no home-cooked or flavoured element to them. McDonalds do a better job with their fries.
The leg of lamb - all four square centimetres of it - was good. Again, however, it required a side in order to make it into a small meal. The fish cakes - two - were flavourful but sparse and the prawns with chorizo easily represented the most filling and tastiest dish on the table - but at $37.50 that would be a reasonable hope for the meal.
The entire party came away from Fort Denison feeling seriously underwhelmed. A short walk around the island did little to undo the sour taste at having just spent over $200 for six people to dine on a meal which had failed to satisfy the appetite of anyone at the dining table.
Any romantic notion of sitting on a fortified island in Sydney Harbour with views over the city, Opera House and Harbor Bridge whilst dining on exquisite cuisine is all well and good until one enters the tacky, plastic marquee and dines on the mediocre cuisine afforded to the restaurant's patrons. By all means visit Fort Denison for the views - but shy away from the food. -
Fort Denison
This is a tiny little island in the middle of Sydney Harbour and I have passed by it on a ferry so many times and never set foot on it. I used to hear the cannon fire from there at 1pm every day. So one day I booked a tour just to be able to say I had been there.
It is only one of the many tours you can do around the harbour and you book them all the National Parks & Wildlife office in Cadmans Cottage (oldest surviving house in Sydney) next to the Tourist Info Centre in The Rocks.
And they leave close by.
Because the island is so tiny it's a half day sort of thing to do - and best to book lunch or breakfast to have at their cafe (you have to book) otherwise you will run out of things to do.
This island used to be called Pinchgut. Probably because they dumped recalcitrant convicts here to consider their sins while they slowly starved.
Or it may have been because of the hanged convict they left hoisted on the scaffold as a warning to others. He got thinner and thinner.
You get a twenty minute video of the history of the place which is interesting. About why it was turned into a fort and all that. -
Fort Denison
Fort Denison was originally used to house convicts from escaping. Most convicts in the early days could not swim and the risk of being attacked by a shark deterred prisoners from escaping. Fort Denison is located in the middle of Sydney Harbour, its a fabulous day out and a wonderful interesting attraction.
Fort Denison is open 7 days for lunch at the cafe or for picnics with a tour group. There are two tours daily to Fort Denison and tours can be booked by visiting the Sydney Harbour National Park Information Centre, located in The Rocks or by ringing +61 2 9247 5033.- Budget Travel

DEFINITION of 'Outward Direct Investment - ODI'
A business strategy where a domestic firm expands its operations to a foreign country either via a Green field investment, merger/acquisition and/or expansion of an existing foreign facility. Employing outward direct investment is a natural progression for firms as better business opportunities will be available in foreign countries when domestic markets become too saturated.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Outward Direct Investment - ODI'
The increase of a nation's outward direct investment can be seen as a proxy that the nation's economy is booming to the extent that sufficient risk capital is available for further ventures. For example, in the 1990s foreign firms entered China and gave a large influx of foreign capital into the Chinese economy. As a result of subsequent economic activity in the years to come, China's economy flourished to the point where Chinese companies now engaged in large scale outward direct investments. In fact, in 2005 Chinese companies spent over $6.9 billion in ODI.

Gigabyte GeForce GTX 470 SOC review -
Reference Specifications
Reference Specifications
So let's have a look at the reference technology first. NVIDIA released two very high-end class DirectX 11 capable products. First off, the new graphics adapters are of course DirectX 11 ready. With Windows 7 and Vista also being DX11 ready all we need are some games to take advantage of DirectCompute, multi-threading, Hardware Tessellation and new shader 5.0 extensions. DX11 is going to be good, and once tessellation kicks into games, much better looking.
SKU's based on the GF100 silicon are:
- GeForce GTX 480 : 480 SP, 384-bit, 250W TDP, US$ 449~499
- GeForce GTX 470 : 448 SP, 320-bit, 225W TDP, US$ 299~349
- GeForce GTX 465 : 352 SP, 256-bit, 200W TDP, US$ 279~289
Some of you will say "huh?" as everybody expected 512 shader processors on the top of the line model, 272 cores more than the GT200 (GeForce GTX 280/285). We were as much surprised as you guys when we learned that it turned out to be 480 shader processors for the GeForce GTX 480. See, the Fermi architecture, the GF100 graphics processor has sixteen shader clusters embedded in it (called SMs). For the GeForce GTX 480 one such a cluster is disabled, and on the GeForce GTX 470 (though expected) two are disabled.
The GeForce GTX 400 cards have the Fermi family chip embedded on them. That chip is called GF100. The GF100 GPU is placed onto an 8-layer PCB and tied to gDDR5 memory. On the topic of graphics memory; NVIDIA made their memory controller GDDR5 compatible, which was not the case on GT200 based GeForce GTX 260/275/285/295, hence their GDDR3 memory.
Memory wise we see exemplary large numbers, as we are passing 1 GB. Each utilized memory controller on the respective GPU will get 256MB of memory tied to it.
- The GTX 465 has four memory controllers (4x256MB) = 1024 MB of GDDR5 memory
- The GTX 470 has five memory controllers (5x256MB) = 1280 MB of GDDR5 memory
- The GTX 480 has six memory controllers (6x256MB) = 1536 MB of GDDR5 memory
As you can understand, the massive memory partitions, bus-width and combination of GDDR5 memory (quad data rate) allows the GPU to work with a very high framebuffer bandwidth. So we've had a chat about the GF100 GPU and memory. It's now time to break down the GPU clocks:
So the GeForce GTX 480 has a big fat memory partition alright, 1,54 GB of GDDR5 memory which is tied to a 384-bit memory bus that binds to six memory controllers inside the GPU; six memory controllers x 64-bit = 384-bit. This memory is clocked at 924 MHz but at a quad gDDR5 data rate that is 3696 MHz effective.
For the GeForce GTX 470 that would be five memory controllers x 64-bit = 320-bit. The GTX 470 memory will be clocked at 837 MHz (= 3348 MHz effective).
Core frequencies then. The GeForce GTX 480 will have its core clocked at 700 MHz and its shader processors at 1400 MHz. The GeForce GTX 470 on its end will be clocked lower at 607 MHz on the core and 1215 MHz on the shader processors.
What's also interesting about the GTX 400 release, but was a challenge, is the move towards a smaller die and fabrication process (40nm) which often brings several advantages. One advantage is that you can insert more transistors into the silicon; as such the GF100 GPU comes with 3 billion transistors embedded into this GPU.
TDPs are high, the GTX 480 will consume at maximum 250 Watts whereas the GTX 470 is using as much as the last generation product, roughly 225W.
The GeForce GTX 480 comes with both a 6-pin and 8-pin power connector to get enough current and a little spare for overclocking. This boils down as: 8-pin PEG = 150W + 6-pin PEG = 75W + PCIe slot = 75W is 300W available.
The GeForce GTX 470 comes with two 6-pin PEG connectors each delivering 75W and another 75W over the PCIe slot = 225W. The GeForce GTX 480 targets a price point around $449-499, while the GeForce GTX 470 is priced $299-$349.
I want to leave it at that for the physical tech side of the GPU and now move forwards to the photo shoot and other things like DirectX 11 and, quite specifically, Tessellation. First up the photos, then our standard snippet on GPU and shader technology to help you understand how a graphics card actually works. 3

(KMOV) — A missing child that prompted AMBER alerts from St. Louis County police was found inside an abandoned vehicle in south St. Louis late Monday night.
Authorities say Tristin Readye, 1, was found in good condition.
Click here to check out photos of the scene
Authorities say Readye was in the 2004 yellow Monte Carlo when it was stolen from a convenience store in the 2900 block of Patterson in north St. Louis County. According to police, the child's mother was inside the store when someone jumped in the car and took off.
Readye was found abandoned in the Monte Carlo near the intersection of Illinois and S. Broadway around 10:30 p.m.
St. Louis County police issued AMBER and SARAA alerts around 11:20 p.m., nearly an hour after Readye was discovered.
"Thank America, thank everybody, just thank you," said family member Mark Dixson. "He's fine, he's fine."
Police have not released any information on a suspect.
Authorities say the stolen vehicle would be returned to the mother after it was processed by police. It was not immediately clear if she faces charges for leaving the child inside the car.

Chateau Montlisse St. Emilion 2005

- Saint Emilion
Professional Wine Reviews for Chateau Montlisse St. Emilion 2005Additional information » |
There are few regions in the world with stricter regulations in regards to wine production and grape varietals than those found in Bordeaux, France. Here, in the home of the world's finest wines, the type and quality of grapes used is of utmost importance, and the legendary wineries which work on the banks of the Gironde river have mastered the careful art of juice blending to find the perfect balance for their produce. Whilst there are six 'official' Bordeaux grapes, the two key varietals for almost every fine Bordeaux wine are Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, and with good reason. Whilst Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are renowned for their acidity and astringency, strong fruit and spice flavors and full body, Merlot grapes are notably rounded, soft, fleshy and lighter on tannin. The combination of these two varietals, along with a small percentage of (commonly) Petit Verdot or Cabernet Franc, is the perfect balancing act the two grape varietals cancel out each others weaker points, and accentuate all that is good about the other.
The wineries of Bordeaux in France are widely considered to be amongst the finest on earth, with many of the chateaux found on the Left Bank and in the Médoc region routinely demanding enormous prices and being snapped up by collectors looking to add the best examples of the world's white and red wines to their cellars. Bordeaux's secret to success comes from the fact that the terroir of the region is exceptionally rich in minerals, helped by the clay and gravel soils which typify the area and the Gironde river which runs through it. Normally humid in climate, the nearby Atlantic coast supplies cooling breezes, making Bordeaux a winemaker's dream and resulting in extremely high quality grape varietals. For hundreds of years, the wineries of Bordeaux have been mastering the art of wine blending, and today produce a wide range of wine styles using many of the sixteen grape varietals permitted to grow in the region by French law.
French winemakers are subjected to several laws and regulations regarding the wines they produce, and how they can be labeled and sold. Such procedures are designed to increase the overall quality of the country's produce, and also to ensure that wines made in each particular region or appellation are of a character and type which is representative of the area. Thankfully for consumers of wine world-wide, the French have a particularly high reputation to uphold, and seem to do so flawlessly. Every year, wineries from all over France produce millions upon millions of bottles of fine wine, making the most of their native grape varieties and the excellent terrain which covers most of the country. From the expensive and exquisite red wines of Bordeaux and Burgundy, to the white wines and cremants of central France, the French are dedicated to providing the world with wines of the highest quality and most distinctive character.
The sub-region of Saint Emilion in France's beautiful and world renowned Bordeaux region is recognized across the globe by wine experts as one of the planet's premier wine producing areas. Saint Emilion is primarily associated with the production of high quality, characterful and flavorful blended red wines, and the blending techniques and methods used in the dozens of chateaus of the region have been passed down through the generations to maintain the reputation and popularity Saint Emilion enjoys. Most of the wines made in Saint Emilion use Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot grapes to superb effect, balancing each varietal's finest points and ensuring the resulting wine is one which is complex, delicious, unique, and one which does justice to the excellent grapes which grow there.

Chief Minister acknowledged the graciousness she showed in ironing out differences between DFF and ESG
Goa Chief Minister Digambar Kamat on Wednesday acknowledged the graciousness shown by Minister for Information and Broadcasting (I&B) Ambika Soni in ironing out the differences between Directorate of Film Festival (DFF) and Entertainment Society of Goa (ESG) over the latter's role in the programming of the forthcoming International Film Festival of India (IFFI 2010).
Talking to presspersons here on Wednesday evening after his return from Delhi, Mr. Kamat said that he discussed the draft memorandum of understanding (MoU) between Goa and DFF for the IFFI 2010 with Ms. Soni who graciously accepted all the suggestions regarding programming aspects of the ensuing IFFI 2010.
Accordingly, ESG will continue to programme one Country Focus, one Foreign Retrospect, Premiers of Indian cinema and Small Films Centre.
DFF(coming under the Ministry of I&B) and ESG have decided to work in a completely homogenous manner to ensure that the prestigious international film festival is held in complete harmony, said the Chief Minister.
It was decided that the opening and closing ceremonies of the IFFI required further hype, and an Event Management Agency (EMA) may be hired to manage these ceremonies.
The EVM for the opening and closing ceremonies would be commissioned after the selection by a high-powered committee consisting of Secretary (I&B), DG, DFF, J.S. Films and CEO, ESG. The expenditure of opening and closing ceremonies will be borne by the DFF or met through sponsors, Mr. Kamat stated.
The pioneering role of ESG in creating the Short Film Center was acknowledged and lauded by the Ministry. It was decided to explore various ways and means to ensure proper integration of the Short Film Center with IFFI in consultation with DFF, Mr. Kamat said.
The IFFI 2010 will be held between November 22 and December 2 in the city.

I got a very sweet email submission this morning from Jane Wilder, a photographer in California, who wanted to share news about her Etsy shop. I'm running out in a bit, so I thought to quickly share them with you in case you'd not heard of her before. I really like her cheerful, bright and positive works and can definitely see a few of these in my work studio renovation so maybe I'll have to grab some in the next month or two. Here are some of my favorites from Jane's shop below. I love the sunflowers and the palm against that peach background, oh and the girl facing the pool. Definite faves! Which do you fancy? Here is a link to her shop – enjoy! (images: jane wilder)
I love sharing with you all of the companies that I shop at over here in Europe. I know that it may be frustrating for those of you living stateside who do not have access to buying these products, however I remember when I lived in Boston and read blogs based in Europe – I loved seeing what was going on in foreign markets and also catching what was on trend there. It gave me excellent and interesting decorating ideas that I felt no one else had in my local area. That is why I was living in Boston decorating with European touches since the 90s, I was locked into international magazines that I would buy at Barnes & Noble and then later, I started reading European blogs. This all broadened my view and definitely helped me to not only sharpen my eye for design but also to find my personal style. I'm hoping posts like this, now that I'm living in Europe, do the same for those of you who don't have exposure to the same things in your part of the world. Remember, keep an open mind. You may also find similar products where you live and a post like this can help you see how to put things together a little differently than what magazines are showing where you live. It's fun to try new ideas and to stand out from the pack. At least, I always liked it.
So there's this company, Bloomingville, that is based in Denmark but is a huge name in Germany… And I really like many of their products. I don't own many, just a few ceramic cups and two pendant lamps in my hallway, but I'm very pleased with what I do have so I can vouch for their quality and style. In this post, I'm giving you a glimpse of their A/W 2014-15 catalog. You can see more online here. For the upcoming season you'll spot lots of pastel blue and violet, gold, copper, marble, natural wood and shots of gray and black. Not your traditional Autumn/Winter colors in North America, I know, but in Scandinavia and Northern Germany, even in the Netherlands, this palette is much more common since we have less light during the cold months so these colors keep our rooms light and bright as it can feel really heavy and depressing otherwise.
Do you see any products that you're dreaming of? My wish list: Gold skull, marble gemstone candle holders, plywood and blue side tables for my bedroom, rattan seating for my wintergarten and an organic-shaped marble cutting board to serve cheese and some plant pots.
What color schemes are you seeing in interiors where you live? Are pastels big at all?

Ready to bake some cupcakes with me? Hi everyone this is Jillian with some pretty cupcakes for you to make on Delicious Bites for August. Although I bake regularly, I'm not much of a cake decorator so I turned to the internet for some inspiration. I found lots of pretty images and decided to decorate my cupcakes with petal decorations made from coloured marshmallows. The base is a classic vanilla butter cake recipe and I decided to include some plain flour in the mix to prevent the cakes from peaking too much.The icing is my all time favourite cream cheese icing (frosting) which I whipped for 5 minutes until it was very light and fluffy. I refrigerated the icing for about 20 minutes until it was firm enough to pipe.
I topped each cake with a rosette of the icing then decorated the cakes with a chocolate button and 4 marshmallow petals. The petals are easily made by snipping a marshmallow horizontally and like magic, the marshmallow forms the shape of a petal. You can let your imagination run wild while decorating the cupcakes. I tried out a few designs and combinations using different coloured marshmallows and different coloured chocolate buttons but decided I liked a single colour petal topped with the same coloured chocolate button grouped together en masse. Here's the recipe and instructions for you.
PETAL CUPCAKES (makes 12)
3/4 cup self raising flour
1/4 cup plain flour
100 gm (3 1/2 oz) unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup caster (superfine) sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 cup milk
30 gm (1 oz) unsalted butter, softened
60 gm (2 oz) cream cheese
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups sifted icing sugar
1 tablespoons milk
24 coloured marshmallows
Coloured chocolate buttons or Smarties
Line a 12 hole muffin tray with cupcake liners. Preheat a conventional oven to 180C/350F. Sift the self raising flour and the plain flour together into a small bowl and set to one side. In a large bowl cream the butter, caster sugar and vanilla extract until light and creamy. Gradually mix in the beaten egg, adding a tablespoon or so of flour if the mixture starts to curdle. Add the remaining flour and sufficient milk to form a soft cake batter. Spoon tablespoons of the cake batter into the cupcake liners. Bake the cupcakes at 180C/350F for 20-30 minutes or until the cupcakes are golden and cooked when tested with a fine skewer. Allow the cupcakes to cool a little before removing to a wire cake rack. When completely cool decorate or store undecorated in an airtight container. To make the icing, cream the butter, cream cheese and the vanilla extract together in a small bowl until the mixture becomes light and fluffy. Mix in the icing sugar and sufficient milk to make a soft icing. Whip for 5 minutes until the icing becomes very pale and refrigerate until the mixture is firm enough to pipe.
To decorate, pipe a swirl of cream cheese icing over the top of one of the cupcakes. Cut 2 marshmallows in half horizontally. Pinch the ends to make petals. Place a chocolate button in the centre of the icing, then arrange 4 of the marshmallow petals on top. Put the cupcake to one side and decorate the remaining cupcakes. Set the cupcakes to one side to set before serving.
Today is my final Delicious Bites column for decor8. I've been contributing to decor8 for 5 years now, initially contributing with photos to Holly's blog posts (since 2009) then with my own column shooting shops for the Shopgirl Visits (May 2012 – December 2012) before turning to writing about my great love, food, in February 2013 and wrapping up the column here today. So after all these years on decor8 I will miss you all. I'll still be baking and photographing for my own blog though, so please drop by to see what I'm up to. Wishing you all the best, Jillian.

Hi friends, it's Monday! A brand new week of inspiration and ideas, plans and dreams and hopefully progress! Let's get started with a quick bite of inspiration. Are you familiar with nani IRO fabrics? These gorgeous fabrics are like paintings and really make me smile. I found out about this Japanese label designed by Naomi Ito a few years ago and have been a fan ever since. Here is a lovely photo showing her more popular patterns that I found on HI(NY) below. I have so many ideas for my home when I see these. I'm currently redecorating my work studio – I'll show you the before and after on my blog this Autumn, so I've been mood boarding like a man woman! These are definitely part of my scheme.
You can buy these fabrics here: If you're in Europe at Mondays Milk, Or buy directly from Tokyo at the etsy store of Miss Matatabi for US, Europe, etc. I just threw down a chunk 'o change for some of these beauties from Miss Matatabi, I can't wait to get them in my hot little hands and turn them into something pretty.
Please note: All products in this post are decor8 tested and approved.
How are you today?
