They look great, can't wait to see the finished result
I think this looks amazing Octavio!
sweet could u make a goddess like that so it would be in the motu line that would be so sweet
Hi Octavio,

WOWzers, NICE!
Realy digging that Starla. The balance between clear and painted is perfect, the sparkles inside the clear is perfect!
Nope.... nothing here! Just a link to my site http://motumulder.webklik.nl/page/fotoalbum with customs!
Those look awesome
See ya',
He-BroLot's of figures for sale on eBay now and some start at $1.
Prices dropped for the holidays - Buy a Pookie or a Castle trap door in my My Shapeways Store - also some cool custom accessories like the Diamond Ray of disappearance, TrapJaw's Attachments, Coridite Crystals, Horn of Evil, Tytus Hammer, etc...
Amazing looking so far.
WOOOW! MAN! That's awesome!!!!
I really need to get some translucent parts from you.
That would be great improvement for my starla (and other Star Sisters which I am planing to do):
Looking good.
Top Ten MOTUC wants: Sagitar, Great Black Wizard, Fang-or, Dragstor, Skeletor's Skeleton Warriors, Despara, Odiphus, Illumina w/Sleetah, Lady Slither, Tuvar & Baddrah 2-pack
Gorgeous work, Octavio! If I could offer a couple suggestions, I think Jewelstar's hips/thighs should be a bit more slender, like Starla's. Also, if you can get a darker orange colour for Starla's legs, it would match the prototype better. I love them both, though. Fantastic job. Better than Mattel's attempt at the MOTUC versions.
Take part in Illumina Day! Let people know who she is and help get her in MOTUC.
You can join the Illumina Facebook page here!
Really, really cool! Can't wait to see the final product!
After so long ´m back with an update...
That Starla pic that you saw, was just the first cast with the new sculpted parts, didn´t have any articulation or cuts on legs and arms... So after that i had to make another mold so arms and legs can move.
Also i made a mold of the head, coz i realize i will need heads after having the body ready, but i really hate rooting hair, so the heads will have glued hair, not rooted... I actually find it better looking, and my figures are artistic hand made items, to look like factory toys, not to play with them as a factory toys.
The heads are swivel and i feel so please with the result.
On the other hand, Jewel Star not turned as expected, the mold was not made properly and i´m making a new sculpt.
My customer must hate me right now due the time all this is taking me, but i´m sure he won´t find some one casting in transparent colors, and all the job involve; actually all this is a HUGE job no matter the size of the figures, it is very different to make a custom than making a hand made figure... Others may do what ever, just to complete the commission, but i like my work to be the best possible.
Well here the pics:
Finally almost ready... just need to paint her, the skirt is also done.
I´ll be selling this Jewel Star very cheap due is a fail to me.
I also casted in different colors, here´s a blue/green one, also available for sale.
And a comparison of my OOAK original figure line ( i actually like a lot more my figures than mattels PoP line) hope you give me the chance to get them and see them in person, photos don´t make them any justice... And due the cast is meant to look more fleshy, in pics they look more shiny loosing impact; but trust me they look really great in person... I may do some painted ones like motuc figures... The sculpt will be more obvious in photos, and you may find them more attractive, but i actually love how the fleshy look, looks in person, i won´t paint mine by any reasons.
Here is just a WIP of my personal line also, you will note the difference once is finished. He-man only have the head ready, every thing else is a WIP.
Leave your comments.

Awesome job!! Jewelstar is my favorite! You should try to make Tallstar as well to complete the sisters. I really love your original line(She-ra is beautiful) as well, man if these were at retail I'd buy all of them.
WOW man!!!! These are AWESOME!!!
I must get some parts from you for my customs. Since I preferre to make the closest to the original Mattel's figures, I will use the original rooted hair heads for Starla and Tallstar... with a difference only with Jewelstar, which doesn't have classic rooted hair in the original prototypes. Her face is painted on the translucent plastic with a small piece of hair placed in the hole on the back of her head (see the picture of the earlier prototype). But in both cases her head artculation (probably the shoulders as well) is the same as Rokkon and Stonedar vintage figures.
earlier prototype
later prototype
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!! Those are really cool! I also really love the green one.
So glad you posted an update!
I´m doing Tallstar as well, but i can not find the straws for the legs, the head is almost ready, the only one i rooted so far.
I just sold She-ra, but i will have another one ready in a couple more days.
I´ll try to make Jewelstar closest to the prototype, but with slimmer waist.
I have available the green body if you want it to create a new character, i know you can do that, let me know if you are interest to getting it.
They are wider and stronger than regular straws, since they are made to be reusable.
Can't wait to see more photos as you get further along!

BIOTECH: Brain pioneer Fred 'Rusty' Gage takes helm of international stem cell group
When he proved that human brain cells can regenerate, Salk Institute neuroscientist Fred "Rusty" Gage earned worldwide attention and scientific immortality. And presumably, the gratitude of billions of brains.
Gage and colleagues have not only overturned decades of scientific dogma , they have inspired the fascinating field of " brain calisthenics ." Mental exercises such as doing crossword puzzles revs up young brains, keeps old brains functioning, and may even stave off Alzheimer's . Physical exercises may help too, according to research led by Gage, a prolific author of influential papers on neuroscience and stem cell research.
Brain damage may even be reversible. Certain primitive cells in the brain called neural stem cells produce functioning neurons that integrate into the brain's circuitry, Gage and colleagues have found. It may be possible to coax these cells into regenerating tissue for diseased or injured brains.
Gage's platform for advancing stem cell science has just become a lot bigger. In June, he was elected president of the International Society for Stem Cell Research , which represents about 4,000 stem cell researchers from around the world. These researchers include those studying the basic science of stem cells and clinicians using stem cells for therapy, a field called regenerative medicine.
The society's work in science and advocacy will be supported by San Diego County's large community of more than 1,000 stem cell scientists, many of them also members of the international society, Gage said.
"Having close ties to the mother ship, as it were, will be very important to our community here," Gage said.
As society president, Gage said he will be an ambassador and advocate to the public and politicians, helping explain the importance of research on stem cells, the "ancestral" cells that develop into the hundreds of kinds of mature cells in the body, for now-incurable diseases and injuries.
Members of the society study all kinds of stem cells, Gage said. These include so-called adult stem cells like the ones in the mature brain; embryonic stem cells derived from days-old human embryos; induced pluripotent stem (IPS) cells "reprogrammed" to act like embryonic stem cells but are derived from mature cells; and "parthenogenetic" stem cells, produced from unfertilized human egg cells.
"There's been a lot of fantastic basic research that has been done," he said. "We realize that part of our mission as a society is to translate this basic science into clinical applications. We call it bench to bedside. We're thinking about ways to do this most effectively."
Powerful findings
Gage said he's most excited about the potential of IPS cells.
"This changed the game. There are two parts about IPS cells that are important. One is that it's individualized medicine, on the table, immediately. You can look at tissues and the progression of the disease in an individual who's still living. The whole mindset of doing research with stem cell biology has changed."
The other part is that using IPS cells, commonly made from skin cells, doesn't involve the ethical objections to research with human embryonic stem cells, taken from days-old embyros that are destroyed in the process.

In case you missed it, you can read the first part of the .htaccess Reference…
.Htaccess Reference
by Scott Allen - February 7, 2007
Filed Under .htaccess, SEO, URL Rewriting, Website Security
.htaccess is a configuration file used on Apache and other nix servers. It is one of the most configurable and powerful tools for website functionality, security, and search engine optimization. Here is a comprehensive reference.
(Hypertext Access) is the default name of Apache's directory-level configuration file. It provides the ability to customize configuration directives defined in the main configuration file. The configuration directives need to be in .htaccess context and the user needs appropriate permissions.
Statements such as the following can be used to configure a server to send out customized documents in response to client errors such as "404: Not Found" or server errors such as "503: Service Unavailable" (see List of HTTP status codes):
ErrorDocument 404 /error-pages/404.html
ErrorDocument 503 /error-pages/503.html
When setting up custom error pages, it is important to remember that these pages may be accessed from various different URLs, so the links in these error documents (including those to images, stylesheets and other documents) must be specified using URLs that are either absolute (e.g., starting with "http://") or relative to the document root (starting with "/"). Also, the error page for "403: Forbidden" errors must be placed in a directory that is accessible to users who are denied access to other parts of the site. This is typically done by making the directory containing the error pages accessible to everyone by creating another .htaccess file in the /error-pages directory containing these lines:
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
- 1 Password protection
- 2 Enable SSI
- 3 Deny users by IP address
- 4 Change the default directory page
- 5 Redirects
- 6 Prevent hotlinking of images
- 7 Standardise web address to require www with SEO-friendly 301 Redirect
- 8 Directory rules
- 9 User permissions
- 10 Other uses
- 11 See also
- 12 External links
Make the user enter a name and password before viewing a directory.
AuthUserFile /home/newuser/www/stash/.htpasswd
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
AuthName "Protected Directory"
AuthType Basic
<Limit GET POST>
require user newuser
The same behavior can be applied to specific files inside a directory.
<Files protected_file.php>
AuthUserFile /home/newuser/www/stash/.htpasswd
AuthName "Protected File"
AuthType Basic
Require valid-user
Now run this command to create a new password for the user 'newuser'.
htpasswd /home/newuser/www/stash/.htpasswd newuser

The invention of Morel
New York Review Books, Aug 31, 2003 - Fiction - 103 pages
Jorge Luis Borges declared The Invention of Morel a masterpiece of plotting, comparable to The Turn of The Screw and Journey to the Center of the Earth. Set on a mysterious island, Bioy's novella is a story of suspense and exploration, as well as a wonderfully unlikely romance, in which every detail is at once crystal clear and deeply mysterious.
Inspired by Bioy Casares's fascination with the movie star Louise Brooks, The Invention of Morel has gone on to live a secret life of its own. Greatly admired by Julio Cortázar, Gabriel García Márquez, and Octavio Paz, the novella helped to usher in Latin American fiction's now famous postwar boom. As the model for Alain Resnais and Alain Robbe-Grillet's Last Year in Marienbad, it also changed the history of film.

"What a waste of my time. After agreeing on the vehicle price and the trade in price, I get sent to the finance guy. He goes and tells me I HAVE to buy the $2500 warranty in order for the deal to go through. He also gave me an attitude about it when I said I didn't want it. He said he was looking out for my own well being LOL it's more like he is looking out for his own wallet. Please don't waste your time and effort here. I guess the people that are happy buying a car here was ok with getting suckered into buying the warranty. AVOID this place!"

According to Kimberly Jones of NFL Network, cornerback Cory Webster restructured his contract taking a pay cut to stay with the New York Giants. Webster's sub-par play in 2012 and his $7 million salary for 2013 was too rich for the Giants taste, and the fact the Giants are tight on salary-cap space. Webster had his salary reduced to $4 million in the final year of his contract, saving the Giants $3 million. Webster had a sizable cap number of $9.845 million. The Giants were not in a position to part with their No. 1 cornerback, so keeping him at a reduced salary was a wise move for both sides. var switchTo5x=true; stLight.options({publisher:''});

One thing is certain about Emily, AOW, -- she understood the meaning of grief, anguish and bitter longing.ReplyDelete
Like all genuinely artistic souls she knew and understood God better than any theologian or orthodox congregant ever has or ever could.
Fortunately, she also knew joy, and the satisfaction that comes from embracing Duty.
I hate the way modern feminist pseudo-scholars avidly attempt to portray her as an early feminist and a lesbian -- as though either of those things were significant, or had the slightest bearing on the nature and quality of her work.

I'm thinking very seriously of "letting go," myself, Emily. The game doesn't seem worth the price of a deck of cards anymore. How could you have come to understand so much, when you lived such a circumscribed life in Amherst?

Mercedes highlights the CLA in their Super Bowl ad [video]
Clip stars Willem Dafoe, Kate Upton and Usher
Mercedes made a big deal about the fact that Kate Upton would star in their Super Bowl commercial but now that the ad has been released, we can see she has been upstaged by a devilish Willem Dafoe.
Dubbed "Soul," the clip centers around a restaurant patron who notices a billboard for the CLA. With his interest piqued, the devil appears to offer him a deal to get the car and "everything that goes along with it." As he considers the offer, he imagines going to a movie premiere with Upton, dancing with Usher and being chased by women.
Before he signs on the dotted line, the crew putting up the billboard reveals the car will only cost $29,900. This causes our main character to tell the devil "Thanks, but I think I got this."

Originally written on PRO Rumors | Last updated 3/9/12
Free agent pitcher Roy Oswalt recently told teams around the league that he was going to sit out the start of the season. At the time, it appeared he was only looking at the Cardinals and Rangers as potential destinations due to the close proximity to his Mississippi home. Jerry Crasnick of ESPN.com notes that Oswalt is now telling teams that he is willing to go anywhere, but still prefers a contender. Oswalt could join a team as soon as June when his kids get out of school making destinations such as the Red Sox and others that are not as close to his home a possibility. At last check, the Red Sox, Tigers, Reds and Cardinals had all expressed some type of interest in the Type-A free agent. In 2011, Oswalt went 9-10 while posting a 3.69 era in 139 innings with the Phillies. He did average a career low with 6.0 strike outs per 9 innings and is coming off a series of injuries. Oswalt earned $16mm last season and made $1,777,777.78 for every win or $172,043,01 for every strikeout. Image taken by Matthew Straubmuller and used under the Creative Common License Agreement.

CHAMPAIGN, lll. Every time a human or bacterial cell divides it first must copy its DNA. Specialized proteins unzip the intertwined DNA strands while others follow and build new strands, using the originals as templates. Whenever these proteins encounter a break and there are many they stop and retreat, allowing a new cast of molecular players to enter the scene.
Scientists have long sought to understand how one of these players, a repair protein known as RecA in bacterial cells, helps broken DNA find a way to bridge the gap. They knew that RecA guided a broken DNA strand to a matching sequence on an adjoining bit of double-stranded DNA, but they didn't know how. In a new study, researchers report they have identified how the RecA protein does its job.
"The puzzle for scientists has been: How does the damaged DNA look for and find its partner, the matching DNA, so that it can repair itself?" said University of Illinois physics professor Taekjip Ha, who led the study. "Because the genomic DNA is millions of bases long, this task is much like finding a needle in a haystack. We found the answer to how the cell does this so quickly."
The research is described in a paper in eLife, a new open-access journal supported by the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI), the Max Planck Society and the Wellcome Trust. Ha is an HHMI investigator. The National Science Foundation provided primary funding for this work.
DNA repair is vital to health, vitality and longevity. Disruptions of the process can lead to the early onset of diseases associated with aging or cancer in animals. The breast cancer mutation known as BRCA2, for example, disrupts a gene involved in loading Rad51 (the human equivalent of RecA) onto a broken DNA strand to begin the process of repair.

|Two beautiful women, physically identical in every way, meet and make a strange deal. One is cold-hearted and married to a wealthy man she doesn't love. The other is warm-hearted, poor and alone. One will desert her husband and family and the other will take her place, creating a deception that may harm nobody but herself.
Editor's NoteThe strange relationship between two women is the subject matter for LA USURPADORA. On meeting, the women are shocked to find how alike they are. A perfect physical match, the two only differ with their directly opposite views on life. While one wears her heart on her sleeve, the other is full of hatred and bile. To make matters worse, the coldhearted half of this curious pair of doppelgangers is caught up in a marriage to a man she doesn't care for. Sensing an out, she forces her lookalike friend to enter into a relationship with her husband so she can enjoy the freedom she so desperately craves. But such activities can only lead to further harm, and as LA USURPADORA reaches it's nail-biting finale, the two women have to make some vital decisions to bring some equilibrium back into to their lives.

Profiting from Abuse

Sales Number: 01.XX.14
40 page(s),
Binding: Paperback
Publisher: United Nations Children's Fund

The commercial sexual exploitation of children assumes many forms and has many faces. Children are enslaved by a chain of actors, all of whom profit in some way. The chain can be long, linking a child to an abuser sometimes thousands of miles away through intermediaries that include recruiters, transporters, brothel owners and pimps. Organized criminal networks and gangs thrive on this trade in children and, to lesser or greater degrees, so do many others: hotels clerks, taxi drivers, police officers, government officials, neighbors and relatives, including mothers and fathers. This report, a tribute to the courage of the many children who have been affected by this inhuman trade, presents the moving words of the children themselves, as well as the passionate and informed opinions of distinguished personalities and authorities.

What is your motto for life?
I am pretty open-minded when it comes to ideas, people, and attitudes, and I'd like to surround myself with those who share a similar cosmopolitan outlook. I think that two very important qualities in a relationship are trust and communication. I want to be the best friend with the person I decide to be with. My philosophy on life: Make it fun, make it balanced, make it honest. Life is really short so we have to make the most of it. Whether study or work; family or friends; comedy or tragedy; cold play or Mozart… I think there is a time and a place for everything. The goal is to choose a little bit of each to make you truly happy. Be spontaneous! My ideal woman is someone who is loyal, caring, passionate, confident, witty, adventurous, likes to travel, share the same family value, and very important, you have to be a positive person..............

The complex was constructed out of massive stones, some weighing as much as 300 tons, cut to fit together without the use of mortar. Today, many of the outside walls, built in a tiered, zigzag formation, remain, as do several tunnels and the "Inca's Throne." The latter is a series of large rocks with well-worn grooves used by many visitors as slides. A large, open plaza holding several thousand people was once home to ceremonial activities and continues to be used today – most notably for the annual celebration of the Inti Raymi festival in late June.
The location of Sacsayhuaman, at over 3700 meters and high above Cusco, affords visitors spectacular views across the entire valley.

A White Coat is in Her Future
Salutatorian Spotlight: Brenda Nuyen
This summer, salutatorian Brenda Nuyen wants to learn how to surf. By recently mastering skateboarding, she feels up to the challenge.
"I've been told this summer is my last free summer until retirement," said Nuyen, who majored in biological sciences and minored in psychology.
But that doesn't bother her. This fall, the Huntington Beach native will dive headfirst into medical school at the University of California, San Diego, with the decision to trade in her free summers for anatomy books coming after careful deliberation.
"I had been considering medicine, but first I wanted to prove to myself that this is what I wanted my future to hold," she said.
And that, Nuyen added, is the best thing about USC: She was able to see what it was like to be a doctor before ever putting on a white coat.
A student in the prestigious Baccalaureate/M.D. Program through USC College and the Keck School of Medicine of USC, Nuyen had the opportunity to shadow physicians, work in the community and get to know the ins and outs of working in a hospital in a major urban setting.
"It really opened my eyes to what I was heading into," she said.
Nuyen also threw herself into the many volunteer opportunities available to budding medical students. She was a founding member of the Community Health Involvement Project, where she helped train students to provide free health screenings around the North University Park neighborhood. She was also active in Health for Life, which works to bring health education to elementary and junior high schools, as well as the Trojan Health Volunteers program.
"Being a part of these projects has shown me that this is definitely what I want to do," she said. "I love working with the families and seeing how much they care about their health."
Nuyen will take her service commitment to San Diego, where she plans to work with UCSD's various service organizations, including Healing Hearts Across Borders, where she and fellow medical students set up a medical clinic in Tijuana for a weekend.
And when it comes to choosing what type of medicine to practice, Nuyen's years at USC have taught her that experience counts.
"I can't say no to any field yet until I can explore it," she said.

Letters to the Editor: 06.13.07
Fed's dunce cap
About 40 percent of high school students completing 12th grade in 2005 took an exam administered by ACT, Inc., which produces our nation's leading college admissions test. Only half possessed reading skills to succeed in college. Dr. Richard Ferguson, ACT's chief executive, fears that hundreds of thousands of college-bound students "will have a disconnect between their plans for college, and the cold reality of their readiness for college"
Over the last 30 years, every candidate for political office, at every level of government, has pledged to "work to improve education" Their "solution" has always been to increase funding. Yet with all these people, at all these levels, working for all these years, and massive increases in funding, education has steadily declined.
A book, "FedEd: The New Federal Curriculum and How It's Enforced," by Allen Quist, documents how the federal government, while only providing 8 percent of funding, through standardized tests controlx 100 percent of curriculum, and instead of educating students to compete in a free enterprise system, trains them to be "human resources" (their words) in a global work force.
The best way to reverse this trend is to get the federal government out of education and let state and private educators create schools and curricula.
Walter Reid Sr
Dubious evidence
As a dismayed observer of Ricardo Villa's trial as well as a friend of the Villa family, I wish to present some of my concerns with the trial and verdict. Besides the accuser, did anyone testify who could actually claim witnessing the alleged crime? Was any DNA evidence presented? Wasn't this a case of "He said, he said" or a matter of the accuser's word against the defendant's?
The young accuser's psychological counselors gave testimony that came directly from the so-called victim, so isn't this also "hearsay" and not direct knowledge? Is it possible that the young man lied, embellished his story of the alleged crime or remembered inaccurately the event which occurred 13 years ago? After all, it happened to a 10-year-old and was recalled by a man in his 20s. Is it possible that the district attorney has been intent on "getting" Villa since the beginning? What if the district attorney's pursuit to "get" Villa is politically motivated? District attorneys are elected officials, aren't they?
The very fact that these questions exist provides a disturbing picture of our judicial system. Without sincere consideration of reasonable doubt, the conviction of innocent people is too easy. Would you want to be convicted on the basis of evidence that could arouse doubt?

Gambling failed
The 80th legislative session ended with only moderate success. Not much was accomplished on the major issues. We send our representatives to Austin to address and pass laws that will help solve some our problems with homeowners' insurance, health insurance, property taxes, property appraisals, high gas prices and highway funding. Nothing was accomplished in these areas. They did increase some business fees and over-regulated some activities that will affect some of the general public. If this trend continues, turtles and dolphins will have more basic rights than the general public.
They had the opportunity to greatly increase state revenues to improve our education system and repair our roads and highways. However, they disapproved casino gambling, American Indian reservation gambling and race-track video slot machines. Texans will continue to fund the Louisiana highway system. There is some good news though; the Legislature does not meet again until 2009.

RTA bill sound
Your recent editorial regarding the Corpus Christi Regional Transportation Authority generated controversy, but it may not have done much to shed light on the issue for your readers. I appreciate this opportunity to set the record straight.
The proposal to provide RTA board members with the same health benefits the RTA's employees receive was unanimously supported by the authority and brought to my office. Not a single opponent surfaced to testify against the measure during legislative debate. And I did not back away from the legislation later or ask the governor to veto the bill once it had passed.
The arguments in favor of the measure were simple and aboveboard: If you want to attract qualified men and women to serve on our vital public boards and commissions, you must offer them a per diem or some other reasonable compensation for their time.
Otherwise, only the wealthy can afford to serve. Reflecting the rich diversity of our communities is an important goal, which is why board members in other parts of the state receive compensation for their public service.
I respectfully suggest that your readers would be better served by a more balanced take on this issue — without the inflammatory characterizations such as "RTA insurance scheme" and, frankly, a parochial approach to this public policy issue.

Miserable end
As an animal lover, I am so angry at the total lack of decency and care for a life, animal or otherwise, he family displayed, bragging about the 14-year old boy who shot the huge pig eight times with a revolver. They chased it for three hours before putting the animal down. Meanwhile, the father and hunting guides carried guns capable of ending the animal's suffering, but did nothing! Have they no compassion? Then the boy said, "It felt really good." Sick, sick, sick!

Good neighbors
I favor the arrival of the new Wal-Mart at Timbergate. I feel that H-E-B has had a monopoly for far too long. H-E-B is a good neighbor, but Wal-Mart is also. There is room for competition in Corpus Christi. H-E-B has created a traffic nightmare on Saratoga, and it seems that Wal-Mart is responding to the criticism and has proposed to alleviate this problem on Staples.

Values uneven
I am a past island resident and did some research on the appraisal district. With regard to Taxpayer Liaison Officer Vic Menard's comments on the appraisal district (Letters, June 3), he is correct that the Appraisal District does not set tax rates. Where he is wrong is that the Appraisal District continually violates the Texas Constitution.
The Constitution requires appraisal districts to perform a fair and uniform appraisal of properties across the district, whether it is every year or every three years. The state will only audit a district if its total appraisal values look artificially low over time. The district has found it is easier and more efficient to re-appraise 400 hours and an extra $50,000 than it is to re-appraise 50,000 hours an extra $400. If the island is re-appraised yearly, then all other houses in the district should be re-appraised to meet the constitutional requirement for fair and uniform appraisal. The appraisal board members are appointed by the city, the county and the school boards. To fix it, tell your elected officials or force a state audit of the district.

But the more powerful members of OPEC don't seem willing to go along.
And that means the U.S. needs to import less oil—especially from OPEC countires.
This is why Venezuela has been one of the hawkiest hawks in OPEC, always agitating for tighter quotas and higher prices.

Vox Pop: Amendment 64
People on the streets of Hotchkiss and Paonia weigh in on amendment 64 - a controversial measure on the ballot in Colorado. Amendment 64 proposes to amend the Colorado Constitution to regulate marijuana like alcohol in the state. It would allow those over the age of 21 to grow, process, and transport up to 6 marijuana plants with certain restrictions. It would allow the state to enact an excise tax on marijuana sales to be credited to an account for construction of public schools. And finally, it would require the state legislature to enact legislation concerning the growth, processing and sale of industrial hemp.

just soak them in hot water.
I invite you to watch the recipe.

I love to prepare bread recipes, I almost have
a fresh bread everyday at home, I like to fill
my kitchen with the tantalizing aromas of
homemade bread fresh from the oven !

in winter and as sandwich bread in summer.
I post you the video at the end of the article

Recette Flan aux 3 laits-Tres Leches Mexican Flan Recipe
Tres leches Flan means a "three milks" in Spanish.
As its name suggests, this flan recipe contains three
different milks: milk, condenced milk and whipped cream.
This recipe is very easy, it requires no effort:
just mix the 3 milks and some ingredients

I prepared this Lemon Birthday Cake for two occasions:
To celebrate my birthday and the anniversary of my blogs.
It's always a great pleasure to share with you my simple recipes.
To tell you the truth I had not planned such succes at the
beginning, because of you I continue to do what I do, I thank every
person who took time to write me a small message, to read your
comments always pleases me, thanks to the visitors who encourage
me and support me, you really give me the strength especially
when I don't feel like blogging anymore. I also thank
my visitors who send me
pictures of recipes that they've tried.
And the reason I continue... it is for people who that
I know deep inside of me, that they are out there
somewhere waiting for new recipes.
So thank you very much.
It is very important to point out that this cake is too big,
because of the sponge cake, as I have already
mentioned it in the video,
I don't have a mould of 12 in, so I used a
mould of 10 in, which gave 2 big sponge cakes of height.
I layered both sponge cakes with a lemon syrup,
then with a Lemon Curd.
I then layered then both sponge cakes with a cream
made with white chocolate and cream cheese.
Because I always receive questions regarding which
cream cheese I use, so I am taking the opportunity
to post you a picture of the cheese which I often use in
my cakes, you can use this cream cheese
(for those who live in the USA) or Philadelphia
(those who live in Europe or other countries).
I invite you to watch the video
I want to share with you a very simple recipe
that kids will love, stuffed with onions, it's yeast
bread which is shaped like a turtle.
I invite you to watch the video.
Here is the recipe for a sponge cake,
quick and easy to prepare, it will
be presented to you by my little princess Jenna-Aicha
as you will see on the
video posted at the end of the article.
You can add different flavors such as
lemon zest, cinnamon,
water or orange blossom.
This sponge cake,
has a special texture; air and dimpled.
Now let's talk about this white powder
called "Cream Tartar."
The tartar cream is added to recipes for three reasons:
1 - Stabilizing egg whites when whipping
to get a meringue that does not fall.
2 - Helping to raise either bread or biscuits
especially when added to baking soda.
3 - Having a creamy frosting
(it prevents sugar from crystallizing).

Hi Ladies,
I am due in a couple months and plan on never using a disposable diaper if I can help it :) . I purchased BG NB AIO, Prefolds with NB covers and the BG bamboo. I need some advice on great wool covers though. They are so expensive and I don't want to buy something that isn't worth it.
I know a lot of women use BG bamboo with wool covers for night time but they never say what wool covers...
Any help you an offer would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you :)

HOMESTEAD, FL - OCTOBER 10: Dario Franchitti driver of the #10 Target Chip Ganassi Racing Dallara Honda celebrates after winning the IRL IndyCar Series Firestone Indy 300 and the IRL IndyCar Series Championship on October 10, 2009 at Homestead-Miami Speedway in Homestead, Florida. (Photo by Robert Laberge/Getty Images)
Pole sitter Dario Franchitti was knocked out of the IndyCar race Saturday night in Iowa after his engine blew out before the green flag dropped. Franchitti's car started smoking on the backstretch, just after a caution flag came out because of issues with Alex Tagliani's car. Franchitti says the engine, which he used to win the Indianapolis 500 in May, was making strange noise before it went out. It's the first time Franchitti has failed to finish back-to-back races since the last event of 2004 and the first one of 2005. Franchitti, the three-time defending series champion, started the race in seventh place and will likely drop further because of the setback.

SEO provides a lucrative steam of traffic and revenue for e-commerce sites large and small, and dropping off Google even briefly will have a major impact on a retailer's revenue. You'll hear the story of how one retailer was hit by a Google penalty and de-indexed—and what it did to make up for past mistakes and ultimately come back stronger than ever. In a world where Google hands out penalties by the thousands, you'll see why the SEO tactics of the past have no place in SEO's future. You'll learn how your site can avoid getting hit for tactics performed long ago, and specific on-site and offsite SEO strategies that the smartest retailers are using to leapfrog the competition.

Rafaat Hallab & Sons: The oh so famous sweets of Tripoli
Tripoli is very well known for it's sweets and Rafaat Hallab & Sons is the best place to experience them. With multiple locations - the one nearest Tell Square the easiest to find - you'd be selling yourself short if you did not try it out. Grab some coffee or tea and pick something.
Menus are in English and Arabic.
Favorite Dish: something, something Tripolitian...didn't write the name down :-P
Chopsticks: if you fancy Chinese food while in Tripoli.....
Chopsticks Restaurants were founded in 1998 and the company has several branches in Lebanon, offering tasty Chinese food at reasonable prices.
There's the usual array of starters such as spring rolls, won-tons and dumplings as well as soups and salads from LL3 250-11 750, rice, noodles and vegetables from LL 2 750-10 750, mains such as sizzlers, chicken, beef, fish, seafood and duck from LL13 500 - 77, 500. There are also rice and noodle combos from LL13 500-21 000 as well as desserts and beverages.
The restaurant we visited in Tripoli was very clean and modern and staff were helpful. Food was relatively quick to be served.
Open daily from 11am - 12pm.
Favorite Dish: Sweet and Sour Chicken, Beef in Oyster Sauce.
Various: Shawarma on Rue Tell
Rue Tell, the major thoroughfare that passes by the Ottoman Clock Tower, has numerous small local eateries that sell shawarma and falafel sandwiches. This is definitely the place to go for lunch to sample a Tripolitan-style sandwich.
- Food and Dining
Rafaat Hallab & Sons: Tripoli Sweets
Rafaat Hallab & Sons is the best place to eat Tripoli's famous Arab sweets, which are actually small cakes, not candy. They are perhaps most famous for their baklava and maamoul. They started making sweets in 1881 and now export them worldwide. The interior is bright and modern.You can buy a mixed assortment to eat on the premises or you can buy a package to take out. You pay according to the weight.
The staff are very helpful and friendly, and are clearly used to seeing lots of foreign visitors.

- Road Trip
- Backpacking
Hooters Cafe: All I had was juice, but the name sucked me in.
I only had orange juice here. The name of the place made me laugh because of the Hooters restaurants in the United States. This one of course is in no way similar to the American version.
The chef was very talkative with me. He read the whole menu to me in order to practice his English.
Cafe Fahim: The purest example of a Middle East coffee shop
In Tripoli, you will find no better example of a local spot than this as far as the cafes go. Fillds with mostly old men playing cards and smoking nargilleh, its rustic nature reassures you of the fact that you are where you are - far away from home. The gritty interior will go perfectly with your coffee or tea. Inexpensive and untainted, it's definitely worth the LL1,500 for a tea, just to be able to sit and soak it all in.
Just be aware though...this is pretty much a mens only joint. There were no women inside and I am not sure exactly what the reaction would be if any foreign ones wandered in. Might as well give it a shot though...but who knows...be prepared for staring to occur.
Al Amina - Baladi: As local a joint as you will find I'd say...
If you want a local joint, my guess is this is as good a one to check out as any other. The menu is ONLY in Arabic. So I just pointed to a picture for my lunch and pointed to some script for my drink. The food was very good as was the fresh juice.
When taking the bus in from Beirut, it is the very vibrantly colorful restaurant with large glass windows on the left side of the street. Goodyear Tires are on the other side of the street.
Silver Shores: Seafood in Al-Mina
Touted as the best seafood in town, it certainly better be at these prices. One fish alone will clip you nearly $40 if it is the right one. When I asked for a recommendation, the waiter actually took me to the kitchen and showed me the fish available. I picked one, they weighed it to show me it's size, and then it was prepared whole. Overall it was a bit stuffier than I'd usually go for. But the setup was decent and the service was excellent. It seems more a place for an older crowd and the monied.
Abdul Ralman Hallab & Sons: Oh God...more sweets...
Compared to Rafaat Hallab & Sons, this place is a little bit swankier with just as good a selection. The interior is cleaner than the Tell Square location for Rafaat, more thought out, and simply more attractive.
Abu Hassan: Lebanese Petit-Dejeuner
It was 1100 when we asked one of the money-changers on the main street where we could find somewhere to eat. We were looking for somewhere with lebanese foul and hummus.
The directions given seems long and complicated (I only got the gist of half of it, being somewhat slow with my Arabic), but a few streets later and a couple more sets of directions .... there it was!!!
The decor was a few old posters, the ever-present Lebanese flag and some regulars. But it felt friendly and the room was light and airy.
Favorite Dish: Favourite dish?? Well the set menu consisted of piping hot foul, hummus, soft fresh arabic bread and fresh/pickled vegetables. All the food was yummy and it was interesting to sit and watch the other customers and people passing by.
- Budget Travel
- Food and Dining
- Arts and Culture
Restaurant Damoun: Mezzes (and very little else)
The restaurant is.. well, just a simple restaurant. Definitely not the one we were looking for (the Wardeh restaurant), but since neither we nor taxi-drivers could find it, we ended up in the nearest place we could find: Restaurant Damoun.
Favorite Dish: The restaurant serves only mezzes: we had 4 different ones: 2 cold and 2 warm ones. They were ok, but not special. The hummus was unhappily swimming in oil. OK if you're starving, otherwise you'd better pass on
Sweets in the Old City and dinner in Al Mina
During our visit to the old town went also to one of the famous sweet-shops Raf-at Hallab Fils and tried the famous local sweets.
For dinner we went to Al-Mina. There are a lot of restaurants and street shops at the Corniche opposite the fishing harbour.
We just sat on the side walks and had nice and varied snacks with bread, vegetables, chicken or shoarma and salads. The fresh fruitjuice with at top strawberries, almonds, cream and honey was really delicious.
Cafe Fahim: traditional
Cafe Fahim is a traditional coffee/teahouse, where local men gather to smoke hubbly-bubbly and play backgammon. I had a coffee here and it was excellent.
