Guild Wars - State of the Game @ Official Site
by Inauro, 2007-04-23 23:38:05
This week's State of the Game article looks at the abilities available to the Monk class.
Regardless of whether you regularly walk the Monk path, observing current Monk practices can prove helpful. Monks struggling to keep their teams alive can improve their methods by seeing what works and what does not. And for those aggressive folk striving to break the efficiency of a backline, nothing helps like knowing thine enemy.

20 Hilarious Letters Written by Kids
A few weeks ago, Dylan took it upon himself to write his Grandpa a letter. It was the first time he'd done it, and, obviously, we thought it was the cutest thing we'd ever seen. I was insanely proud of him for spelling "night" correctly. Until I saw how he spelled "granpa," "befor" and "crismiss." Oh well, he's six.
But, while his letter is adorable and sweet, it's not unintentionally funny or mean spirited. And, let's be honest, those are the most entertaining notes from kids.
I dug through the internet and found 20 of the funniest letters that have been written by children. Check them out below and then tell me, have your kids ever written an unintentionally hilarious letter?
If you find yourself wanting more, check out this collection of Letters to Santa and this collection of Letters to the Tooth Fairy.

Featuring 3 OLED screens on a flexible circuit board, this minimalist electronic wearable is stunningly bright, likes to be touched and features a rechargeable 10 hour battery. Apologies about the hairy arms (and the dubstep)!
This is just a prototype but with a just a little more work this could easily be thinner and more attractive to wear. Be on the look out for a new version with some 3d printed parts to present a more honest take on the bracelet.

Peter Jakab has written a new article on how to adapt character LCD modules for 3 volt operation.
Generic character LCD modules contain an industry standard HD44780 compatible controller, which can operate down at 3 volts. But the modules are usually specified to work only at 5 volts, unless you choose a specific one designed for 3V operation. It is possible and simple to adapt the 5V modules to work on 3 volts.

The evolution sometimes shows, that not everything "new" is automatically better than something "well-proven". One of examples was also a "boom" of digital panel meters, when it seemed for a while, that the life of analog panel meters is coming to an end. However it showed very soon, that an analog display has a huge advantage in a very fast legibility – i.e. already a brief look at a meter is enough to realize the position of a needle of a meter. Naturally, accuracy of reading of value from an analog meter is lower, than that of a digital (7-sgment) display. mainly at the beginning of a range, but this doesn´t matter in many cases and a certainty of a fast check, whether for example a given variable is in normal is often much more important.
Fortunately, classic electromechanical panel meter can be replaced by graphic displays thus obtaining a free hand at design of your own panel meter. At the same time, the combination of an analog and a digital meter can be created this way. Perhaps the best "replacement" for analog meters is a round display, which has a minimum space requirement in a target device. Novelty in this segment is the uLCD220RD (round) display module with a circle active surface (circle 220 px, 1,38"). Despite the fact, that it´s a small size display, it´s driven by the most powerful processor from 4D Systems – Diablo 16, which gives it a big versatility of usage, many interfaces and GPIO pins.
New version of a well known SW package for development of graphic applications – 4D Workshop IDE from 4D Systems already supports this new module even in the Visi Genie environment, enabling a "drag&drop" development of application. In praxis a 220 px circle is able to display a considerable amount of information. On attached pictures we bring you a small demonstration of uLCD220RD module imaging.
Detailed information will provide you uLCD220RD and Diablo16 datasheets.

Flat displays of the EA DOG series are now available even with a bigger resolution or with more characters.
EADOG series is familiar to many of you and probably it´s your favorite one from these main reasons:
- displays are unusually flat (thin)
- the have a very low power consumption of 100-s uA (without backlight)
- wide possibilities of backlight, monochrome and also RGB
- some types are well legible even without backlight
- simple communication through 4/8 bit or SPI interface and newly even I2C
So far, types with up to 128x64px or 3×16 characters were available. The most recent additions to the EADOG family are bigger types with resolution of 160x104px (EADOGXL160), 240x64px (EADOGM240), 240x128px (EADOGXL240) and 4×20 characters (EADOGM204) and appropriate backlight modules EALED66x40, EALED94x40 and EALED94x67. Also these new types maintain a low profile – only 5.8 or 6.5mm with backlighting. A positivity is that even these new types are based on standard LCD controllers.
A guide at a choice of a suitable combination of display +backlight will provide you the application described in our article – Start with the EA DOG displays for free.
Detailed information will provide you the datasheets at particular types.

Viewing angle around 160°-170° and an excellent contrast say in favor of character displays with OLED technology.
OLED technology (Organic LED) slowly but surely finds its place even in industrial devices. After a big success at mobile phones, where they convince by high contrast and an excellent viewing angle, this technology becomes price-affordable and technologically advanced even for industrial applications.Benefits in short:
- OLED means, that every pixel is principally one "planar" LED, thus each pixel emits light (white, RGB or some color). That means, that OLED doesn´t have / doesn´t need backlight and it also helps to a high contrast, as there´s no problem with a light bleeding through "off" (black) pixels, as it is often at LCD displays. High contrast also ensures excellent legibility even at a strong daylight.
- wide viewing angle. As every pixel (point) is itself a light source, it shines in all directions (half-globe) and it provides an extreme viewing angle near to a theoretical maximum of 180°
- extremely wide operating temperatures range, frost doesn´t "slow down" display response time
- the same color from every viewing angle. This is vital at color (RGB) OLED displays and it means almost zero color shift at viewing from various viewing angles, so well-known from TFT LCD displays
- low power consumption, partially dependent on a display content (number of switched-on pixels and their intensity)
New character displays from company Winstar belong to advanced displays with declared features. In our stock can be found types for example WEH001602ABPP5N00000 (16×2, blue), WEH001602AWPP5N00000 (16×2, white), WEH002002ALPP5N00001 (20×2, yellow/orange – "amber") and WEH002004ALPP5N00000 (20×4, yellow/orange – "amber") and other. They all have 8-bit parallel interface "6800" and a modern controller WS0010. Direct comparison of OLED display with an FSTN LCD is best illustrated in the attached video.
OLED displays can be read even "from a side" – [Link]
Jared Sanson @ jared.geek.nz writes:
So it's been a while since I last posted about my OLED watch, and I've done a lot of work on it! (And also broke it multiple times)
It's taken me a lot of work to get this far, and I developed EVERYTHING from the ground up. The electronics design, the PCB layout, the RTOS and firmware drivers, the graphics engine, the user-mode app code, and even USB communications apps. I've used C, C#, and Python extensively in this project, and Altium Designer for the schematic and PCB.
Overall it has been an awesome learning experience, and if I was to make another one I would do a lot of things differently!

3,5″ display with the processor Diablo16 from company 4D Systems can handle even applications, where processor Picaso is not sufficient.
So as to make it right – it´s still true, that processor Picaso is a relatively very powerful graphic processor able to manage demanding applications with graphics, animations, sound, video,… Naturally, like each processor, there are applications where its power is sufficient with a reserve and for someone already not. If you suppose, that processor Picaso wouldn´t suit to you by its features, or at least it wouldn´t enable eventual further enhancing of functionality, then the Diablo16 processor will meet even high requirements.
In behalf of processor Diablo16 says not only the computing power itself, but also the other functionality as a memory size, communication interfaces, analog inputs, GPIO and other. Until now, the power of Diablo 16 could be used in two ways – in the uLCD-70DT module (7", 800×480), or in your own design using the processor itself. Now, company 4D Systems comes also with a 3,5" module (480*320px) uLCD-35DT, "driven" by this powerful processor.
Another good news is availability of a new CMOS VGA camera module – uCAM-II with a serial output (UART TTL). As a standard, the camera is equipped with an optics with a 56° viewing angle. Also available is the exchangeable optics, with a 76° and 116° viewing angle.
Similarly like at all 4D Systems modules with Picaso and Diablo16 processors, also in case of uLCD-35DT module can be used for development of application a powerful software package – Workshop4 IDE.
Detailed information will provide you the Diablo16, uLCD35DT and uLCD70 flyers.

Raspberry Pi PiTFT Weather Station:
More tinkering with the wonderful Adafruit 2.8″ Touchscreen TFT module (PiTFT) for the Raspberry Pi. This time a weather station drawing data from weather.com.
Luckily there's a wonderful python module to extract data from three popular weather services; python-weather-api supports NOAA, Yahoo! Weather and weather.com. This makes life so much easier.
Download the module and install in the usual way; there are instructions in their wiki.
A simple way to display the raw data in a more readable form is to use Pretty Print (pprint) which is installed by default on Respbian. Just change the code in the call to weather.com in the script below to your town which can be found in the URL if you use the weather.com web page….

Arthur Guy made this mini LCD backpack for the smaller display screens:
This is an LCD backpack but it is for the smaller displays with the double row of pins rather than the single line.
I made this adapter as I was working with some small displays and needed a simple way of connecting it to a microcontroller. There are plenty of adapters for the standard single row displays but I couldn't find any for the smaller dual row displays
This adapter works with existing libraries built around the PCF8754 shift register

How can Atheists hate god? We do not believe god exists. It is hard to hate something which does not exist. Of course, we do hate what the belief in god or gods does to SOME people and the evil they do because of this belief. I admire the work that Pamela Taylor does and detest the actions of Osama bin Laden, yet they are (were) both Muslims and believe they are serving the same god

+2I stayed in Imelda Marcos' brothers place in Mindanao. She wasn't the only "greedy one". He "owned" 10,000 acres of Bananas, 5000 acres of Pineapples, 3000 acres of pigs, built a "village for the people" with a school, church, and "company stores" where the people bought things and gave him back the money they earned picking his stuff. He was another GOD fearing Christian. One store sold jeans (with no pockets). you chose what "designer pockets" you wanted sewn on. (Levi's, LEE's, Yves St Laurant and several other big name designers). Yep, the "Company Stores", Just what America is coming to, if we elect Rmoney!

If one believes there is no God, how can you hate it?????
(atheism: the doctrine or belief that there is no God)
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. well unless you just plain stupid like Pat Robertson and the guy who shot all those Sikh's.
Pat Robertson, like many of our political leaders knows getting on the news and having your name told to millions of people is the best advertising free publicity can get you, Lol.
Don't matter if it's a lie, or if it's not true, all that matters is that people hear your name, and Pat Robertson is getting ready to make a move so he want's people to know who he is when he gets ready to do his dance for the lord.
Myself, I don't hate any Gods, but I do hate alot of people that prey to those Gods, and Pat Robertson is at the top of my list of bigots! -
+2Yes, Pray is always a verb. Its main definitions are (1) to utter a prayer to a god another higher power, and (2) to make a fervent request.
Prey on the other hand is a noun meaning one that is hunted or attacked and a verb meaning to hunt, catch, or eat as prey.

Cant hate something you dont believe in.
I myself am not an atheist, Im agnostic.

Rio de Janeiro (Portuguese pronunciation: [ˈʁi.u dʒi ʒɐˈnejɾu][3]) is one of the 27 states of Brazil. It has the second largest economy of Brazil, with the largest being that of the state of São Paulo.[4]
The state of Rio de Janeiro is located within the Brazilian geopolitical region classified as the Southeast (assigned by IBGE). Rio de Janeiro shares borders with all the other states in the same Southeast macroregion: Minas Gerais (N and NW), Espírito Santo (NE) and São Paulo (SW). It is bounded on the east and south by the Atlantic Ocean. Rio de Janeiro has an area of 43,653 km². Its capital is the city of Rio de Janeiro, which was the capital of the Portuguese Colony of Brazil from 1763 to 1815, capital of the United Kingdom of Portugal, Brazil and the Algarves from 1815 to 1822, and capital of independent Brazil from 1822 to 1960.
The state's largest cities are Rio de Janeiro, São Gonçalo, Duque de Caxias, Nova Iguaçu, Belford Roxo, Niterói, São João de Meriti, Campos dos Goytacazes, Petrópolis, Volta Redonda, Magé, Itaboraí, Macaé, Mesquita, Cabo Frio, Nova Friburgo, Angra dos Reis and Barra Mansa.
Rio de Janeiro is the smallest state in the Southeast macroregion and one of the smallest in Brazil. It is, however, the third most populous Brazilian state—with a population of 16 million of people in 2011 (making it the largest population density state in Brazil)—, and the third longest coastline in the country (after those of the states of Bahia and Maranhão).
In the Brazilian flag, the state is represented by the Beta star in the Southern Cross (β = Mimosa).
The state is part of the Mata Atlântica biome and is made up of two distinct morphological areas: a coastal plain, known as baixada, and a plateau, which are disposed in parallel fashion from the shoreline on the Atlantic Ocean inland towards Minas Gerais.
The coastline extends 635 kilometers and is formed by the bays of Guanabara, Sepetiba, and Ilha Grande. There are prominent slopes near the ocean, featuring also diverse environments, such as restinga vegetation, bays, lagoons and tropical forests.
Most of the state however consists of highlands, often higher than 1000 m, formed by several mountain chains like the Serra do Mar which separates Rio from the state of São Paulo. The highest point of the state, the Pico das Agulhas Negras (Black Needles Peak) is located in the Serra da Mantiqueira which forms the physical border with neighbouring Minas Gerais.
Its principal rivers are the Guandu, the Piraí, the Paraíba do Sul, the Macaé and the Muriaé.
Vegetation and animal life[edit]
Tropical forests used to cover more than 90% of the territory of Rio; large portions were devastated for urbanization and for plantations (coffee, sugar cane); preserved areas can be found in the steepest parts of the mountain chains.
The state's tropical coast and river areas are the only remaining habitat of the golden lion tamarin.[5]
The entire state is located within the tropical zone (the Tropic of Capricorn is located just a few degrees south of Rio) so a tropical climate is predominant, but in some parts, due to elevation, temperatures can drop to the freezing point or even lower. Frost is not uncommon in some mountainous cities, such as Teresópolis, Nova Friburgo and Petrópolis. Snow has already been reported in some occasions in the Itatiaia National Park.
In the cost, mean annual temperatures are around 23C/73F. In the summer mean temperatures are around 26C/79F when in the winter 20C/68F.
In mountainous cities, mean annual temperatures are around 18C/64F. But it can range from 20C/68F in cities with an elevation of 600/700 meters abovea sea level to 7C/45F in the Itatiaia National Park. Summers in these areas tend to be warm, but not hot with averages around 22C/72F, whereas winter are quite chilly for Brazilians standards with lows around 8/9C or 46F/48F.
Rains tend to be concentrated in the summer (December to March), with a dry season in the winter (June to September), but sometimes winter can be quite rainy as well. Most part of the state receives between 1.000 to 1.500mm of rainfall in a year.
Hereditary captainships[edit]
European presence in Rio de Janeiro is as old as Brazil itself, dating back to 1502. Rio de Janeiro originated from parts of the captainships of de Tomé and São Vicente. Between 1555 and 1567, the territory was occupied by the French, who intended to install a colony, France Antarctique. Aiming to prevent the occupation of the Frenchmen, in March 1565, the city of Rio de Janeiro was established by Estácio de Sá.
In the 17th century, cattle raising and sugar cane cultivation stimulated the city's progress, which was definitively assured when the port started to export gold extracted from Minas Gerais in the 18th century. In 1763, Rio de Janeiro became the capital of Colonial Brazil. With the flight of the Portuguese royal family from Portugal to Brazil in 1808, the region soon benefited from urban reforms to house the Portuguese. Chief among the promoted changes were: the transformation of agencies of public administration and justice, the creation of new churches, and hospitals, the foundation of the first bank of the country - the Banco do Brasil - and the Royal Press, with the Gazette do Rio of Janeiro. The following years witnessed the creation of the Jardim Botânico (Botanical Garden) and the Academia Real Militar.
There followed a process of cultural enhancement influenced not only by the arrival of the Royal Family, but also by the presence of European graphic artists who were hired to record the society and Brazilian natural features. During this same time, the Escola Real de Ciências, Artes e Ofícios (The Royal School of Sciences, Arts, and Works) was founded as well.
The neutral city[edit]
In 1834, the city of Rio de Janeiro was transformed into a neutral city, remaining as capital of the state, while the captainships became provinces, with headquarters in Niterói, a neighboring city. In 1889, the city became the capital of the Republic, the neutral city became the federal district and the province a state.[citation needed] In 1894, Petrópolis became the capital of Rio de Janeiro, until 1902.[6] With the relocation of the federal capital to Brasília in 1960, the city of Rio de Janeiro became Guanabara State.
The new state of Rio de Janeiro[edit]
In 1975, the states of Guanabara and Rio de Janeiro were merged under the name of Rio de Janeiro, with the city of Rio de Janeiro as state capital. The symbols of the former State of Rio de Janeiro were preserved, while the symbols of Guanabara were kept by the city of Rio de Janeiro.
According to the IBGE of 2008, there were 15,772,000 people residing in the state. The population density was 352.58 inhabitants per square kilometre (913.2/sq mi).
Urbanization: 96.9% (2004); Population growth: 1.3% (1991–2000).
The last PNAD (National Household Survey) census revealed the following numbers: 8,509,000 White people (54.2%), 5,302,000 Pardo (Multiracial) people (33.8%), 1,809,000 Black people (11.5%), 25,000 Asian people (0.2%), 19,000 Amerindian people (0.1%).[8]
People of Portuguese ancestry predominate in most of the state. The Brazilian census of 1920 showed that 39,74% of the Portuguese who lived in Brazil lived in Rio de Janeiro. Including all of the Rio de Janeiro, the proportion raised to 46,30% of the Portuguese who lived in Brazil. The numerical presence of the Portuguese was extremely high, accounting for 72% of the foreigners who lived in the capital. Portuguese born people accounted for 20,36% of the population of Rio, and those with a Portuguese father or a Portuguese mother accounted for 30,84%. In other words, native born Portuguese and their children accounted for 51,20% of the inhabitants of Rio, or a total of 267664 people in 1890.[9]
Other European ethnic groups, such as Swiss, Finnish and Germans settled mostly in the mountainous areas (Nova Friburgo, Petrópolis, etc.) and in the capital. Italians and Spaniards are also present in the capital as well as in the surrounding cities.[10][11]
People of African descent are numerous, particularly in the metropolitan area of the capital city. Those of mixed-race ancestry (tri-racials, mulatos, and some caboclos and cafuzos) make up the majority of the population in many cities. The city of Itaguaí was considered a Japanese colony in the 20th century, but many of the Asian Fluminenses that once lived there moved overseas (most of them to Japan) as well to other Brazilian states like São Paulo.

The occasion of the last five days leading up to Lent is annually cause for a great explosion of joy in Rio – a round-the-clock party uniting emotions, creativity, plasticity, colours, sounds and much fantasy. It is the greatest popular party in the world, a unique record of the rich cultural melting pot typical of Brazil. In Rio, it is celebrated in various ways, most famously through the elaborate competition of samba schools comprising thousands of dancers in each school, each of which has composed a new "enredo de samba" (samba script) for the year that is released and popularized by the time Carnaval arrives, thus already recognizable for its lyrics, themes, and rhythms by the energized audience in the bleachers thronging to see the all-night competition of one samba school after another until dawn. Each samba school consists of 'alas' (wings) of samba dancers costumed to carry out one aspect of the theme of the song they all sing. This event began in the 1930s as a diversion for what politicians sought to assuage as an otherwise restive populace. It came to be held on the bleacher-lined Marques du Sapucai for decades until a covered Sambodromo was built in the 1980s.
In other parts of the city, Carnaval festivities include the Banda de Ipanema, a street parade of transvestite costuming that draws its throngs of revelers to the streets of Ipanema. In the city center on the final night of Carnaval, into the wee hours of Quarta Cinza (Ash Wednesday), a very different flavor of street parade is provided by Quilombo (the word given to slave refugee colonies) with authentic African costuming. For others, Carnaval is a time of clubbing in costume in more exclusive locales in the Zona Sul.
The film Black Orpheus is set in the context of Carnaval in Rio.
New Year's Eve[edit]
In Rio de Janeiro, a globally unique New Year's Eve celebration involves the whole city population. Local inhabitants and visitors join in flocking to the ocean to celebrate the night of the year when thanks are given and wishes are made to the goddess of the sea, Iemanja. In honor of her traditional garb, celebrants dress in white and bear gifts like flowers, especially white, and even blancmange. At midnight, beachgoers on the typically hot midsummer night, walk into the surf and cast their flowers (and wishes for the coming year) on the lapping waves to be carried out to honor the goddess. Nearby parties, concerts and music last into the dawn, many choosing to sleep it off on the beach on New Year's Day. In recent years, campfires and the oral tradition of shared stories around statues of Iemanja has modernized into massive fireworks displays and to a mega-concert on the famous beach of Copacabana.
International airport[edit]
Since August 2004, with the transfer of many flights from Santos Dumont Airport, to Rio de Janeiro-Galeão International Airport, Rio de Janeiro has returned to being the main doorway to Brazil.[citation needed] According to data from the official Brazilian travel bureau, Embratur, nearly 40% of foreign tourists who visit Brazil choose Rio as their gateway, meaning Galeão Airport. Besides linking Rio to the rest of Brazil with domestic flights, Galeão has connections to 18 other countries. It can handle up to 15 million passengers a year in two passenger terminals. Located 20 kilometers from downtown Rio, the international airport is served by several quick access routes, such as the Linha Vermelha/Red Line and Linha Amarela/Yellow Line freeways and Avenida Brasil/Brazil Avenue, thus conveniently serving residents of the city's southern, northern and western zones. There are special shuttle buses linking Galeão to Santos Dumont, and bus and taxi service to the rest of the city. The airport complex also has Brazil's longest runway at 4,240 metres (13,910 ft), and one of South America's largest and best equipped cargo logistics terminals.
The main Federal highways that cross the state are:
Construction is underway on a new Port of Acu. The port will cover 36 square miles. This USD 1.6 billion project at Sao Joao da Barra, approximately 280 kilometers from Rio de Janeiro, has been under construction since October 2007 and will be operational in 2013. It is forecast that the port will eventually handle over 63 million tons of iron ore, 10 million tons of steel products, 15 million tons of coal, 5 million tons of dry bulk and 7.5 million tons of general cargo. A breakwater damn to protect ships from ocean waves is also planned.[14]
Sports are a very popular pastime in Rio de Janeiro. The most popular is association football. Rio de Janeiro is home to four traditional Brazilian football clubs: Flamengo, Vasco, Fluminense and Botafogo. The state football league is Campeonato Carioca. The city of Rio de Janeiro will be hosting the 2014 FIFA World Cup. The city has built a new stadium near the Maracanã, to hold 45,000 people. It was named after Brazilian ex-FIFA president João Havelange.
Other notable sports events in Rio include the MotoGP Brazilian Grand Prix and the World Beach volleyball finals. Jacarepaguá was the place of Formula One Brazilian Grand Prix into 1978-1990 and the Champ Car event into 1996-1999. WCT/WQS Surf championships were contested on the beaches from 1985-2001.
On 2 October 2009, Rio de Janeiro was selected to host the 2016 Olympic Games, which will be the first to be held in South America.[15]
State flag[edit]
An eagle, symbol of Brazil's royal family, appears on the state flag with the rock formation Dedo de Deus ("The Finger of God") near Teresópolis in the background. The outer part of the coat of arms represents the state's agricultural richness, sugarcane (left) and coffee (right).

27. April 2013 20:03 by jennifer 2 Comments Meal Planning: Whole 30 Week 4 27. April 2013 20:03 by jennifer | 2 Comments Is it already the start of week 4? I was talking to my husband and kids last night and they were shocked to learn that I haven't had ketchup in 20 days. I LOVE ketchup. Seriously. I love it on eggs, chicken, pretty much if anything can be dipped in a condiment, I'm dipping it in ketchup. I've been this way since I was a little girl and without a doubt this has been the longest I've ever gone without my beloved ketchup. When we were in New York City they had a piece of ketchup artwork and I had to get my photo taken with it. I have ketchup issues. That's the first thing I'm missing on the Whole 30. I'm also missing beans; black beans, kidney beans, garbanzo beans. And lastly... But on the plus side...I have learned to tolerate black coffee. And have rediscovered how freaking fantastic REAL eggs are! Thanks to Nom Nom Paleo for teaching me how to make the perfect hard boiled egg! And last, but certainly not least is my new found love for sweet potatoes and yams. I've made a sweet potato hash every week and eat it for breakfast, lunch and/or dinner nearly every day. It's become a staple in our diet (me and the husband.) I don't miss the sugars at all (unless you count ketchup) and it's been over 2 months since I've had a diet soda or any sort of artificial sweetener at all. I'm feeling great, and will easily be able to keep this up after the official Whole 30 is over. Except for ketchup, beans, and beer. I'll be adding those back in to my diet, though I will really try to limit the ketchup since it has so much sugar. I don't eat junk food, fast food, processed food and haven't for over 4 years, so I didn't have to "give those up" when I started the Whole 30 because I was already living a fairly clean lifestyle. We did well last week with eating up all the ground turkey, but I have a lot of shrimp, salmon, tilapia, and chicken breast, so this weeks meal plans will focus on those items as the main dishes. Monday: Sauteed shrimp with onions and cherry tomatoes Tuesday: Chicken Fajitas Wednesday: Salmon Patties Thursday: Breakfast for dinner: eggs, sweet potato hash Friday: Blackened Pork Chops James has a request for pork chops, so I will make these for him and the kids. And there you have it! Week 4 will be done! We usually have leftovers on the weekend, though on Sunday May 5th, we're heading off for an awesome SUP adventure! We're going to be paddling with the manatees with Manatee Paddle in Crystal River! We need to be there at 9am, so we'll need to eat a nice hearty breakfast before we leave, and then I'll pack a cooler with healthy snacks, which is something I do regardless, and for lunch I'm sure I can find a salad and a sweet potato at nearly any restaurant If you have followed or are following the Whole 30 what the HARDEST food/drink/condiment for you to give up?? The ketchup one really surprised me. I knew beer and beans would be somewhat of a challenge..but ketchup? That one snuck up on me.
13. February 2013 21:41 by jennifer 12 Comments The {nearly} gluten free diet 13. February 2013 21:41 by jennifer | 12 Comments My youngest son has been diagnosed as PDD-NOS, which means he has an autism spectrum disorder. He has some other issues as well, which I won't get in to on this blog, but just know that it's challenging living with him, and I'm sure it's challenging having to BE him. He been on mood stabilizing medication since he was 3. Yes, 3. James and I often have long conversations about our son, and what we hope for him in the future, and how we can teach him the skills he'll need to be able to cope with his condition(s). We do research, lots of research on how environmental factors can exacerbate his symptoms. A few years ago I came across a lot of evidence that stated that cutting gluten out of the diet helped other children with conditions similar to Ronin's. I approached my husband about going gluten free, but he didn't get on board, so I tabled the discussion. Fast forward 3 years. James does his own research and decides that gluten might be the cause for a lot of issues that our son not only has, but our oldest daughter (skin issues) and even himself. He decides a gluten free diet is a worth a try. We discuss it (like we discuss EVERYTHING, in great detail) and we plan on making it a family affair because it will make it easier on the three that need it, so basically Ella & I are tagging along for the ride. We decided to go gluten free on February 2nd. Also happens that I run a 10k on February 2nd. You know what's at the end of every race? Beer. You know what beer has in it? Yup, gluten. Guess who drank the beer. Yup, me. And it was good. We make it through the entire week gluten free. I switch up the kids' lunch routines and pack them rice cake sandwiches with almond butter and sliced apples. They are loving it. Breakfast is easy, oatmeal or eggs. It appears that we are breezing right through the first week of being gluten free. And then I get an email from the kids' automatic school lunch account saying that Ronin needs his account replenished. Say what?? Why would he need more $$ in that account, he hasn't been eating in school since I stopped working in November. Or so I thought. He hasn't been getting lunch at school, but almost every single day that little stinker had been going to the cafeteria and getting a 2nd breakfast. I look up the meal history on the account and I about blow a gasket!! All last week, EVERY morning he was going and having a gluten filled breakfast. I went through the roof, called the school, immediately cancelled all accounts, etc, etc, etc, and then had a nice long chat with "the boy" when he came home from school on Friday. Ugh. No issues with my girls, but the one of us that needs this the most is the one that had been sandbagging us the entire time. AND HE KNEW IT!! ARGH!! Clean slate, we start over with him on Saturday. So now he's been gluten free for nearly a week and his nasal/breathing symptoms seem to be getting better. Might be my imagination, but really he sounds like he's talking out of his mouth now and not his nose. We're still dealing with some other issues relating to his PDD-NOS (and other ABC disorders as I call them b/c they all have acronyms) but overall I'd say that I am seeing some improvement, so we're going to keep going with this gluten free business. Buying gluten free products hasn't been that difficult because I'm not going all whackadoodle gluten free. We don't have a deathly allergy to gluten, so I'm not worried about gluten in shampoo, etc. but we're eliminating ALL wheat, barley, and rye. I will buy products with oats and rice, and they don't have to say "GLUTEN FREE" on them b/c really I don't think a dash of gluten here and there in some oatmeal is going to derail the results of this experiment. But I won't buy any products that obviously have the big 3 gluten contributors in them. I spoke with all three of the children's teachers and let them know that they can NOT under any circumstances have any food at school that is not brought from home. Today is Valentine's Day and each of their classes is having a little party, so I sent in special gluten free cupcakes for each of my babes from Stacy's Gluten Free Goodies. The kids and James eat a lot of pasta, so we had to start buying some gluten free pasta and it's more expensive than regular pasta, but that's okay. Dr. visit co-pays add up too. Tonight I am making a gluten free Chicken Parmesan. Modified by Jenny, Original Recipe from the Gluten-Free Homemaker Chicken Parmesan Ingredients 1½ pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts 1 egg, lightly beaten 1 cup brown rice bread crumbs 28 ounces pasta sauce ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese ¼ cup shredded parmesan cheese Instructions Place chicken breast in a plastic freezer bag and pound the heck out of it with the flat side of a meat mallet until it is thin. Take your daily stress out on the chicken. Dip each piece of chicken in the egg and then coat it with the brown rice bread crumbs. Place the pieces in a Pam sprayed baking dish. Bake the chicken at 400 degrees for 20 minutes. Pour pasta sauce over and around the chicken pieces. Top each piece with the cheeses. Bake an additional 10 minutes or until the chicken is done. Serve with hot cooked pasta. (which of course will be gluten free, I used brown rice spaghetti) I've never made Chicken Parmesan before, but it's red and well it is Valentine's Day, so I figured what the heck! And let me tell you, this was GOOD!! Husband even had seconds! So now we're on a gluten free, MSG free, HFCS free, processed food free lifestyle. Whew. Except for beer. I am not giving up my beer. And that my readers, is why I am {nearly} gluten free. What about you?? Are you gluten free? Any dietary restrictions that you follow because you think it helps your overall health??
7. February 2013 22:39 by jennifer 2 Comments Raising a Vegetarian? 7. February 2013 22:39 by jennifer | 2 Comments My oldest daughter Haley just turned 9. She announced to her daddy and I last night that she was no longer going to eat meat, she was becoming a vegetarian. James sat down with her and they throughly discussed what it means to be a vegetarian and WHY she wanted to become one. Her answer was quite simple: "I don't like the taste of meat. Or chicken. Or fish. I only eat it because you work so hard to make it, and I know that salmon is so good for me." Okay. She's old enough to make these decisions. We'll support her. Tonight for dinner I made a grilled chicken strawberry salad. I put it in front of each of the kids and Haley just looks at me "mama, I'm a vegetarian now." Oh shit, right I forgot! My bad!! I had already planned to make a big batch of my famous Black Bean soup, so I just started it a little bit early, and that's what she had and she gobbled it right down. I don't eat mammals and haven't for years. James rarely does, in fact I can't remember the last time he did. But we do eat a lot of fish. And we eat a lot of beans. I think Haley is going to be just fine with her decision to become a vegetarian. As a family we also made the decision to go gluten free. We've been gluten free since Saturday (well, they have....I had beer at the Best Damn Race) and honestly it hasn't been difficult at all. We didn't eat that much before we made the switch, just snacky type of foods (GOLDFISH!! PRETZELS!!) that we're better off without. For lunch the kids have been taking rice cakes with almond butter and sliced apples on top, oat granola bars, Pirate Booty, Orange slices, and Clif Bar Fruit Ropes. Why did we decide to go gluten free? Ronin, James and Haley all have issues that can be explained by a gluten sensitivity and Ella and I are tagging along for the ride to support them. There are a TON of great alternatives available. So, I'm reading labels like crazy for our family. No HFCS, no MSG, no wheat, no barley, no rye, no natural flavors (that likely means that there is gluten in the product) no this, no that, and I'm also reading labels for Matthew. No crappy food for him either. That's what has been happening over here. Are you a vegetarian? Pescatarian? Carnivore? Omnivore? Gluten free? Any other dietary restrictions? Any recipes to share with me?? I'll share a little eye candy with you.

Title: |
Degradation of Solar Arrays and its Resolution |
Abstract: |
To further PV market penetration, costs must be reduced and efficiency increased over the life-time of the system. The ability to detect failure modes in PV modules is a critical piece of this equation. Underperformance often plagues installations especially when systems operate in off-nominal environmental conditions. A series-connected module is the weakest link in the chain and the ability to rapidly pinpoint a defective one has the potential to ultimately reduce the LCOE (Levelized Cost of Energy). This talk will discuss degradation modes that impact solar array performance such as partial shading, dust, physical damage, delamination, hot-spots, etc. We will discuss physics- based modeling and simulation aspects that are used to build algorithms that detect anomalies. |

2008 - Six Pennsylvania militiamen are arrested with bombs & weapons for planning to shoot blacks from a rooftop in Pitt & declaring civil war if Obama got elected.
There's like 30 other incidents going back to year 2000, but (not counting McVay's 168 victims) most of the actual right-wing killings took place in Obama time.
Does the Unabomber count as a righty?
And let's not forget those ultra right wing Black Panthers or the right wing buddies of Obama from the Weather Underground.

I'm in agreement with the previous - I like the reissues just fine, but I think the base cards have a terrible design.
Die-hard for the Buckeyes, Reds, Rangers and Nolan Ryan. Finished the 1998 Donruss Significant Signatures set - now onto the 1997 set! Also looking for any Farewell To Riverfront cards. |

100 Base cards, each with a refractor /25 parallel. That set might be the second most valuable set in the modern era. Throw in those "Masters" parallels ... The design of the base cards may not be uber sweet, but those Refractors are going to sell for an insane amount of money. Like four figures insane.

I agree with these statements....I havent been this excited about a product release in a while. This could very well turn into the Baseball version of Fleer Retro Basketball. I have made this my first multi-case break just for the throwback 93 refractors.....I also think the base design will look better in person.

I am still looking forward to this as well. I don't think it will go as crazy as Retro Basketball did, but I do think it will be red hot. Anyone on the fence that decides not to purchase will be regretting their decision IMO.

yeah I dont think it will be AS crazy, but I do think collectors are going to go nuts over current stars in retro 93 refractor design. Finest is not nearly as high end as Retro Basketball, but I can definitely see the price of boxes/cases jumping once those cards hit the market. The box prices are at about $94 right now, I can see it going up to $125 by the end of the year......even if you just hold on to cases and flip them you should make money, people who have gotten in right now have the right idea.

Should I try to register it with the state???

Basement Tanking Project
At one time I wrote a lot on this blog about houses, and this house in particular once we bought it 4 years ago. One major feature is that the basement kitchen floods fairly regularly, maybe 4 times a year? This is obviously not ideal however the structural work required to put it right was around 20% of the value of the house, and shortly after we bought the house the bottom dropped out of the UK property market so we couldn't borrow against the house.
Fast forward 4 years of cooking in wellies once in a while, and running down the stairs to check the basement every time it rains a lot (in Northern England, you can imagine this gets really old really fast). Actually even when it wasn't underwater, it was a pretty nasty kitchen, always damp and it had no heating so in winter it was whatever temperature it was outdoors. This sums it up: my mother's old dresser, standing on bricks to keep it out of the water
The tanking process is many-dimensioned and I don't have as many good photos from the kitchen bit as I do from the other half of the house so I'll post about the science another time, but suffice to say the entire place was gutted, the wiring/plumbing ripped out (just as well, the whole thing was so badly put together which I guess is what happens in a 100+ year old house), then they build a waterproof inside layer, and insulate it, and make you a new room inside that. We have guttering around the outside of the rooms and it all drains into one sump and gets pumped out to the drains in the road.
I packed up half the contents of the kitchen in October, they started work in November, I ran the kitchen out of the building site until New Year, then camped in my office with the camp stove and washed up in the bath through January and February and into March, and we're all back in and sorted now I'm writing this post ... in late March. So it was quite an undertaking and I was working from home, starting my new business and trying to project manage this at the same time. I've definitely had more fun in my life! I picked a few photos to show the transition, look out for doorways, windows, and chimneys (we only have one of each), the new kitchen layout is nothing like the old one, I'm told it's disorientating if you only have photos.
So when people say "new kitchen?", well yes, but that completely misses the point. It is dry and warm in my kitchen now. Nothing will be mouldy or rusty or both. The teatowels will dry, the cups don't make your coffee cold the moment you put one into the other, I won't be throwing out bags of flour every few months. We can sit down there and eat, hang out while someone cooks, and (look at that cooker) feed any passing armies. I didn't really need shiny new cupboards or floors and basically I picked the simplest, least offensive options of both ... and I'm surprised how well it all works.
There is a full set of photos on flickr, showing the entire building project. I'll write more about the various bits and pieces, and all the new rooms (we did the entire basement floor of the house), eventually. For now, this is the view from where I am:

Re^2: Socks with Sandals:by jhourcle (Prior) |
on Apr 24, 2007 at 17:37 UTC ( #611788=note: print w/ replies, xml ) | Need Help?? |
I'm trying to figure out where my workmate fits in -- he ALWAYS wears sandals. (well, there was a week when he didn't last year ... we're still not sure what that was about). But in the winter, it gets cold, and he wears socks, too. And most of the folks i've seen wearing socks w/ sandals were middle-aged tourists in the DC area. (I worked at the Pentagon for a few summers (early 90s), and more often than not, each tour group had at least one of 'em.... and about even odds on them having a kid wearing a brand new 'Hard Rock Cafe' t-shirt)
