South Africans love to have a Braai (BBQ)
There is nothing better then enjoying a traditional South African braai. It is usually done on a wood burning fire outside. The men traditionally are in charge of cooking the meat whilst drinking several beers whilst the women prepare yummy salads like potatoe salad, carrot & orange salad, coleslew, noodle salad, rice salad curried with peaches & a tossed salad which could contain fruiit.
The sausage is called borewors which is a spicied sausage coiled into a round. Sosaties are cubes of meat & vegetables on a stick. Chops & chicken are also pretty common. People do fish in tin foil (although I'm not a lover of fish)
South Africans make a day of having a braai & the goodness is in the eating - hungry just typing this
Tweede Nuwe Jaar
Traditionally the 2nd January has been an unofficial holiday in Cape Town. (no where else in South Africa is "Tweede Nuwe Jaar" celebrated.
With its origin apparently as a holiday for slaves during the early days of the Cape of Good Hope, the tradition continues today and is celebrated by troops of colourful minstrels or "coons" as they were more commonly known.

Supermarkets in Cape Town practices
I think a charge was introduced as a result of Cape Town trying to reduce roadside rubbish at first but of course it is also very enviromentally friendly.
There is a nominal charge per thin plastic bag added to your grocery bill. Or alternatively you can purchase a green bag which is a strong fabric bag for life currently Pick n Pay charge R5 per bag with a percentage going to enviromental projects.
The main supermarkets in Cape Town are Pick n Pay & Checkers (Shoprite) which equate to Sainsburys / Tesco (UK). Woolworths in SA is effectively a Marks & Spencer store.
In Centuary City where you pay for parking the supermarkets will stamp your parking card giving you an hour free when you purchase just one thing.
Shopping at the supermarket for picnic items & wine can save you an enormous amount on lunches out. We often take a picnic when we visit Kirstenbosch botanical gardens. They sell ready made salads & pies as well. You may also find wine is cheaper to buy at a supermarket then even on the wine farms & certainly cheaper then at the airport.
The Cape Coons
Every Year the Cape Coons march in the streets of Cape , I guess here you`ll get to see all the local people here.
I have collected some info on them which you can checkout for interest sake.
Coon Carnival CEO Mr. Melvyn Mathews (picture at left) of the Hip Hop All Stars (previously The Penny Pinchers All Stars) who was responsible for the organisation of the 2003 road march confirmed this view. "This carnival is getting big and big sponsors are starting to throw good money at us and we cannot afford the image of gangsterism to ruin the coon carnival... It's now become one of Cape Town's major tourist attraction's and we (the minstrels board and the city of Cape Town) are working very hard at improving our image so we can even take on the Rio Carnival... Yes we had problems in the past, you even photographed some of them. But if you look at this years carnival then you can see that we are succeeding and that with our big plans for 2004 we're taking this to a higher level, never seen before" said Mathews.
Melvyn Mathews (54) is an authority on the Cape Town Coon carnival and has been a part of it since he was two years old. For more information, Mathews can be contacted in Cape Town at telephone numbers +27 83 733 8522 or +27 21 593 1888
The Noon Gun
The daily firing of Cape Town's historic Noon Gun. Situated high up on Signal Hill's, Lion Battery, it has a clear view of the sea as well as the city below. There are actually two guns performing this ancient ritual of announcing 12 o' clock to the Mother City, alternating between them every other day, with the 2nd on standby in case the duty gun fails to fire.
The terrain is now open to the public to see the daily firing of the noon gun, this particular gun has been replaced by a similar one, the two now standing side by side.
Soon after the English occupation of the Cape in 1795, the Dutch guns were removed from Imhoff Battery at the Castle and replaced by the latest English 18 pounders.
A time signal has been fired by one of these guns since 1806.
With the advent of the "galvanic telegraph" it became possible to trigger a gun remotely and since 1864 the noon gun has been accurately fired from the master clock of the oldest timekeeper in the country, the South African Astronomical Observatory as it is still being fired today.
As Cape Town developed and grew, the noise of the gun became too loud and violent for the city centre and the guns were moved up to signal hill's Lion Battery from where they are still fired today. The first signal fired from here was on the 4th of August 1902. These same guns are still in use today and the 2 guns used are the oldest guns in daily use in the world.

Tipping in Cape Town
As regards to Restaurants tipping is considered appropriate anything from 10%, service charge may be added into bills if stated on the menu for larger parties. Waitrons do not earn a high basic wage & do rely on tips preferable to be left in cash rather then on the card.
Tipping at bars seems to have become mandatory, for example if you order 2 drinks at total cost R25 patrons give a R2 tip on the saucer once change is returned. Of course it can get a bit silly if you are at a bar for a while so at the end of the evening you may wish to leave the bar staff a tip.
There are a lot of car guards around in Cape Town whose job it is to watch your vehicle whilst it is parked. I personally feel at night time they add extra security & a feeling of safety - Of course don't give a tip if you feel threatened, although this is usually not the case the guards are pleasent enough although there is competition & squabbling between who looked after the car. I do however feel justified in not giving a tip in a normal supermarket car park where parking is free unless they have helped find a parking spot in a crowded area or loaded your bags in etc.
Do be careful not to flaunt your cash or wallet when giving tips in the open, coins are usually sufficient.
Biltong and Droe wors
The best delicasy for most South African's are biltong and droe wors (dried sausage) Biltong and Droe wors is sold in nearly all supermarkets, most malls and sometimes even on fleamarkets. You get various varieties from beef to venison. Best for me is the beef followed by the kudu biltong.
So, it is Wednesday and you are on your way home from work. You remember that the guys are coming over to your place on Saturday to watch sport on the box, and you decide to treat them with some homemade Biltong. You pop in at your local butcher for some good quality fresh meat, Silverside (London Broil), Topside, Steak or such, now:
2 kg good quality meat
Biltong spice (available from Biltongmakers-see our home page)
Slice the meat into suitable strips, making sure that there some thin strips for those who like their Biltong a bit dry.
Place the meat in a tray.
Sprinkle 100 grams of dry Biltong spice (available from "Biltongmakers") evenly over all sides off the meat.
Protect the meat against flies and leave for 3-4 hours.
Dry the meat with some paper towels and hang in the Biltong Maker (or a dry, drafty area).
Meets the Cape Malays
their humour, their traditions, their foods
all sperlatives;
for those who know "old adderley" street and the flowers vendors, the witty biting remarks;
the removal of District 6 and others to lands too far away, took away the original heart and soul of Ou Kaapstad.
on my last trip in 2009, walking along Adderly Street and the CBD area, the flower sellers were not with the quick wits and comments indelilble in my mind from the early 80's and even 60's
Bo Kaap below Signal Hill has a touch, but not as intense as before. It remains colourful, and the emergence of B&Bs are a positive sign.

Signage so funny it poses a safety hazard!
Hmmm ... maybe this one should be under 'Warnings and Dangers', because the first time I saw it, I was behind the wheel and was laughing so hard that I almost drove off the road!
This sign is for an ostrich farm off the R27 just north of Cape Town, where they indeed breed ostrich - if you choose to put a smutty spin on this (as, of course, I did myself), then that's your problem!
Apologies for the picture quality, but we were going fast ... and in case you're jumping to the logical conclusion ... no, I wasn't driving this time!
Almost like Flemish and Dutch
The local language is different from English and is called Afrikaans. This language is a mixture of Dutch and English. For Flemish and Dutch people it is easy to understand and seems to be the only region in the world where beneath Belgium and Holland this language is spoken. So al signs are in both languages and to us it is rather funny that we understand both languages.
There's the Cape doctor and there's also Cape coma
Capetonians are fiercely proud of their easygoing image, openly laughing at their more frenetic fellow South Africans from the north and shrugging off admonitions of being afflicted by what has widely become known as the 'Cape coma'. It usually shows when someone uses "hectic" to describe styles or colours or just anything sticking out of the regular...;-))
IF you are a Reiki practitioner visiting our city or just having moved here and looking for a group where you can practise your Reiki and learn a bit every time, why not join our Reiki group. We get together once a month at the Spinnery in Durbanville where we do group healing as well as universe and distant healing. Give Suzi a ring if you are interested and she will provide you with more information
Parking and Paying
When parking on the street there were people (wearing vests) who expected money to watch over your car. They would help you park, even though you do not need it, then they would stand by your car waiting to be paid.
We at times paid them and at times we did not. You could tell when you did not pay them; they would be a little upset. This was hard to get used to, to always have some one wanting money to park on the street. At times we did not have any cash. We never knew how much we were supposed to pay, so we just guessed.
Purchase a mobile or a SIM Card
Despite what we had read beforehand, we found it impossible to rent a cell/mobile phone while we were in country (wanted to have one for emergencies/convenience while driving the garden route). So we ended up purchasing one rather inexpensively. We bought a nokia model for about $40 US and a prepaid plan for another $20. It came with about 30 minutes airtime which was more than enough. Again- we bought it for security. Went to the local Vodafone in Greenpoint not far from the rental car pickups.

Load Shedding
Load Shedding, well that's become quite a buzz word in Cape Town and the rest of South Africa recently. Our national energy supplier ESKOM has tried to blame this on the rapid develoment of the economy, locals blame it on ESKOM'S inefficiency but actually the real reason is that us locals care so much for this planet that we are prepared to go without electricity for extended periods to make this a better place to live.
Besides that, the hidden agenda is to market Cape Town (and the rest of South Africa) as a romantic destination where everone dines by candle light.

Another winner! DH brought me some fresh figs, and this seemed like the perfect way to use them. The syrup has a beautiful golden color, and smells just heavenly! A worthy use for that oh so expensive pinch of saffron. I also used a local honey, and the combination of flavors was just wonderful. A little sweet from the syrup, a little tart from the yogurt- just the perfect light dessert to finish an al fresco meal. Thanks so much for posting, Karen, I'll definitely make this again when the figs on my tree are ripe! Made for ZWT6.
Really, really awesome! So simple to make & with a wonderfully satisfying taste, too! Really enjoyed the combo of cinnamon, honey & fig! This is definitely a recipe I want to make another time when I have company ~ Would really like sharing this with others! Thanks for posting it! [Made & reviewed as part of a challenge while in Greece with ZWT6]
How delicious. Figs here are not completely ripe, so I cut the ripest ones I could find from the tree and simmered about 8 minutes to get them 'fork tender'. The addition of saffron to the syrup was what brought this over the top. It added colour, and that delicate, slightly medicinal taste that is so good. (for those of you who have never had saffron, do give it a try - it adds wonderful flavour and colour!). Used our own delicious Greek thyme honey and served with a dollop of greek yoghurt for breakfast. Thanks!
Outstanding Luscious! Loved the sweet home grown figs enhanced with home grown saffron making the intoxicating syrup made with Cinnamon-Cardamom Honey. Merci! Made for http://www.recipezaar.com/bb/viewtopic.zsp?t=308850&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0 The Magic of Herbs! Yes! Did enjoy it warm with chilled yogurt.

Red Sox Owner, 59, Ready To Marry 30-Year-Old
Oh, to be rich, moderately attractive and the owner of one of the most successful franchises in sports. Take Boston Red Sox owner John Henry, for example. Less than a year after his divorce from his second wife Peggy, the 59-year-old Henry is ready to give the whole wedding thing a try for the third time. The BOSTON HERALD says that Henry popped the question to his girlfriend Linda Pizzuti and they have a June wedding planned.
I should point this out: his attractive, successful 30-year-old girlfriend. They met in June at a posh local lounge and have been inseparable ever since. According to the BOSTON GLOBE, they traveled to Paris over the 2008 All-Star break (even owners don't watch the All-Star Game), where she was introduced to the insanity of Red Sox Nation, as Henry was deluged with autograph seekers. At the Louvre.

Death Dealer ID by LiamSharpWatch
©2009-2016 LiamSharp
Thought I should put up one of my best for my ID. This is one of them.
looking epic.what are those monsters that the death dealer fights with?skyrim trolls?
Realmente incrível! Bela ilustração, parabéns! Sucesso para você!
Wow, great to find your work here!
WOW, this is great Frazetta Fantasy ! Perfect artwork !
WOW, WOW, WOW, rough and fantastic scene !
Outstanding painting, makes me want to go home and page thru my Frazetta books...again.
A mind-boggling masterpiece. Wow. This kicks evil yeti ass!
I think this is the most awesome death dealer I've seen on deviantart. Excellent work.
This one is a worthy interpretation of Frazetta's char. I think it makes a great tribute to him. And even though the father of fantasy as we know it today has left us I am happy his art lives on and is a base for such awesome paintings. Just the way the Death Dealer holds the axe...how awesome is that? It seemed unnatural to me in the first moment and then a chill of awesomeness ran through me when i realised how he was about to cut-open that charging beast...Chears m8 for sharing this
Thank you! And I think you're right, you have to look twice to see the motion that is ABOUT to happen...
Take care and very best,
Take care and very best,
Heroic fantasy doesn't get more basic and brutal than this. A warrior with a large axe he probably wields like a butter knife, massively muscled with an arresting helmet that indicates he may not be on the side of virtue; in a bleak, beautiful setting facing Yeti's from hell. Live or die, no audience, no babes to rescue, maybe a fee to collect if he survives. Great stuff!
Liam- your stuff has always been tight. I've been a fan for a long time. You're a beast!
words cant tell you how super bad ass this is!
Great work, Liam!
Amazing! Its great to see Frazetta tributes like this!
Frazetta would be pleased with your hommage. Just his concept: a moment of tension just before strenght explodes. Great.
I saw something similar once but the dead one in the snow was a...she
Great, GREAT work!
is this all photoshop painting?!
it´s frazzetta or you it´s incredible
Wow, well liked following the medieval style, reminiscent of the masters easley, frazeta and company. Muitooo The light is good too!
EEEeeeee~ I remember seeing this before <3
I love how crisp the image is, and the snow! The details are amazing as always 8D
I love how crisp the image is, and the snow! The details are amazing as always 8D
aesomely kickass, axes are awesome!
Ooo, got a chill, nicely done.
Absolutely badass !
Awesome. Your paints are sick...in a good way
The snow in the foreground looks really good.
aha! axe vs. yeti! beast!
Indeed! But it's the Death Dealer, so there's only one possible outcome here...
Take care, and cheers!
Take care, and cheers!
Absolutelly awesome., your anatomy's drawing handling is really cool!! (sorry for my english)
Thank you! And please don't apologize for your english! I speak only one language, and I make enough mistakes in that one...
Take care, and thanks again!
Take care, and thanks again!
Beautiful work Liam.
Wow very nice! You should totally tell people to see this in Full view. So much better! I love the paintery look and Deathdealer is one of my favorite piece!
Fav'ed and then some!

Menus, plates still at odds
BOSTON — New DNA testing shows that restaurants and stores across Massachusetts are still mislabeling their seafood, a year after the problem was disclosed.
The Boston Globe reports that restaurants and stores continue to sell cheaper, lower-quality fish wrongly labeled as more expensive and higher-quality varieties. An investigation by the Globe published last year prompted promises by state health officials to discourage the mislabeling of seafood.
The newspaper reported Sunday that the results of a new round of DNA tests on fish underscores an ongoing lack of regulation in the nation's seafood trade.
The test results showed a host of mislabeling, including the mismarking of Pacific cod as the more expensive Atlantic species, hybrid bass as the higher quality striped bass and tilapia as red snapper.

Jasmine Cosplay: Cat Woman by BlueLightning50Watch
©2013-2016 BlueLightning50
In the recent cosplay poll, the winning votes go to a Cat Woman costume for Jasmine. Thinking about which version, I decided on a cat suit design loosely based on the costume in Batman: Arkham City. Also gave her a pony tail to go with the look. Enjoy.
This picture you've done of this character cosplaying as Catwoman looks very nice and lovely.
If this were based on Halle Berry's Catwoman, it would've been a "cat-tastrophe!"
jasmine your a good example of a femme fatale (a female who is beautiful yet dangerous) with that outfit :3
how are you likeing the new town ruler
Jasmine: I kind of like it.
hello there catmine want to be the ruler of my place
Jasmine: Ruler? What do you mean?
ruler my country what do you say
Jasmine: A whole country? 030 I don't think I'll be able to do that.
She looks adorable
So know of Arkham City huh, just asking you play played it? Still nicely done I shall say. And I suppose quite sexy too. With also seeing the first page of comments on this pic. Also I did see the latest pics. This shall be enjoyable I guess.
lol yes I have played the Arkham games.
looking at this makes me wanna draw my character as another comic based hero/character
Lol that would be cool.
the real question is...who should i draw him as this time?
Hmm. Either batman or spider-man
why not both
(nto at the same time)
if i were to do batman...whic one?
Adam west batman?
TAS Batman
Christian Bale Batman?
Batman beyond/batman of the future Batman?
Gee too many. @-@ how bout based on the default suit in the Arkham series?
hey, i've been staring to draw batt-dett (and using google for a ref, basing it off of the arkham game design)
here's the w.i.p so far: sta.sh/0rq8f4xapr
let me know what you think.
i haven't played the arkham games....
and i haven't seen any gameplay.
i only listed the ones i knew and had seen in some sense.
who knows...maybe i could do all of them (one at a time) see which one suits detonator the most.
Very cute with a touch of sexiness.
cute and sexy
Man she's got quite the wardrobe
I wanna be Batman...

text: I want to know what causes this specificity of reactions in between elements. Why does carbon only react with X elements? What are the factors that come into play to cause this specificity? From what I understand every element has the potential to bond with every other element but a lot of them would form unstable compounds and would dissociate quickly and so we say x element doesnt react with x element. For example could Na form a covalent bond with Ca but since they would form an unstable compound it quickly dissociates, so we say Na doesnt react with Ca? So, does each element have the potential to bond with any other? and because many would form unstable compounds we say they dont react? If not, again what is it that causes the specificity? PS- small question here that I dont think it deserves a thread. When a polar bond dissociates does the more electronegative element always keeps the electron of the less electronegative element (R-OH --> R-O: ( O with extra electron) H+)? Also with non-polar bonds does the opposite happen when it dissociates (C-H -> C + H)? Where both elements stay neutral? Thank you very much.

Yes, we still have iPads! In fact, we've been so busy with them that we've ignored this blog a bit. However, recently, I witnessed a project that made me want to share.
Mrs. Miller's Social Studies class has been studying Greek Mythology and wanted to reinforce some of their knowledge about the gods and goddesses. iFunFace allowed them to research and talk like a Greek god or goddess from the 1st person point of view.
Here are two examples…I hope to share more in the coming days….if those darn iPad's don't keep me overly occupied! :)

Arsenal strength also comes from a sense of urgency
April 5, 2010
Story Highlights
- Watervliet nears end of its urgent response to up-armor vehicles in Iraq and Afghanistan.
- For nearly six years, Watervliet Arsenal has quietly added gun protection kits to its manufacturing line.
Related Links
WATERVLIET ARSENAL, N.Y. -- The Army had identified as early as 1993 the requirement to add armor to High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicles or HMMWVAca,!a,,cs, according to Globalsecurity.org. But when the U.S. Army went to war in Iraq in 2003, many of the vehicles that transported Soldiers lacked the armor protection required to mitigate the horrifying effects of a tactic employed by enemy insurgents called improved explosive devices or IEDs.
In an effort to meet the urgent requests from U.S. Central Command to up-armor more than 20,000 vehicles in Iraq, the Department of Defense turned to its industrial manufacturing base to help meet the pressing demand.
According to Mike Ippolito, the Arsenal production planning and control program supervisor, Aca,!A"When we received the mission in late 2004 to assemble the doors for the up-armor program in Iraq, the technical data package was in a high state of change.Aca,!A?
Aca,!A"We, therefore, had to do an Aca,!Eoeemergency hireAca,!a,,c and put a team of about 25 together very quickly and they had to be not only very flexible to the ever changing requirements, but also they had to be well managed,Aca,!A? Ippolito said.
TodayAca,!a,,cs armor program, which has grown from assembling armor doors to assembling overhead gunner's protection kits, is managed by Kipp Zahler and its daily assembly operations are supervised by Steve Koza and Jack Joslin. But the program is nearing an end of an era because the Department of Defense has moved toward Mine Resistant Ambush Protected vehicles or MRAPs from HMMWVs, and is also withdrawing troops from Iraq.
Aca,!A"We are not saying we have Aca,!Eoemission completeAca,!a,,c because we will work until the last GPK leaves the Arsenal, but we are nearing the end of the production schedule,Aca,!A? Koza said.
Nevertheless, this team of 25 or so folks has since 2004 delivered thousands of armored doors, GPKs, and overhead-GPKs to troops in Iraq, Kuwait, and Afghanistan, Koza added.
Although the Arsenal may be well known for its manufacturing of cannons and barrels for tanks and artillery systems, the lives, limbs, and heartbreak saved by this team is immeasurable.
Ippolito added praise by saying that despite the urgency of the mission and the ever changing requirements, the GPK team never missed a scheduled shipment. And, at the end of the day, the GPK team was so efficient that the Arsenal returned back to the Defense Department more than $20 million.
For their sense of urgency and commitment toward safeguarding our troops, this team is this monthAca,!a,,cs Face of Strength.

The District's vocal anti-Wal-Mart contingent has flat out rejected the community benefits agreement reached between the D.C. government and the world's largest retailer, arguing the pact is weak and unenforceable.
As we first reported Tuesday morning, Mayor Vincent Gray's administration and Wal-Mart Stores Inc. struck a deal that seeks to bring the retailer on board with local hiring, transportation improvements, community outreach and certified business enterprise participation. None of it is mandatory — in fact, the second to last paragraph of the agreement gives Wal-Mart an out based on existing "business conditions."
But D.C. had little leverage with Wal-Mart, given it is asking for no subsidy, is taking no tax credits and needs little zoning approval. While Gray's team touted the deal as "unprecedented," there really wasn't much more it could get out of Wal-Mart.
That said, the Living Wages, Healthy Communities Coalition (also known as Respect D.C.) issued a release Tuesday afternoon slamming the agreement as "window dressing" and criticizing Gray for a lack of leadership.
"This includes nothing to address wages or the quality of these jobs," Marina Streznewski, of the D.C. Jobs Council, said in the release. "The D.C. living wage is $12.50 an hour. How will people working at these stores afford to live in D.C?"
The agreement requires Wal-Mart to pay wages competitive with similar retailers in D.C.

Big, fat howdy from southwest Tennessee. Memphis to be less general. Chanced upon these boards looking for something or another/ gave a few threads a quick read & decided to stick around a little bit.
I like to ride where there are no roads. Specifically any little piece of singletrack I can get my aging self into, onto or thru. I am currently riding an old Fisher (Joshua X1) and loving the hell outta it. Recently I finally busted my original fork (answer Xpro) and got to replace it. Trying to get used to the little bit of more clearance of the Black Comp. (like I need that but whatever).
I'm what I like to call an experienced newbie. I grew up on two wheels of some sort or another & have been hanging it out there forever. I like to go fast and jump high. Oneday my skill level will allow me to do just that without running off-trail. hehehe.
So if you hear someone who is yet to be seen calling out, "coming over the hill" , and then see a black y-frame clearing the hill underneath a craze-eyed whiteboy with dirt stains on his helmet -just say, "that's one well insured dude".

Ryan's firing was not entirely unexpected as team owner Jerry Jones promised to make things "very uncomfortable for the next few weeks and months at Valley Ranch." Ryan had served as the Cowboys defensive coordinator for the last two seasons. He had one year left on his contract. "I inherited a team that was 31st in the league in defense and made them better," Ryan told ESPNDallas.com's Tim MacMahon. "I (expletive) made them a hell of a lot better. I'll be out of work for like five minutes." Ryan's defense was successful early in the season but struggled as injuries to key players mounted. While Ryan will likely have suitors the New York Jets can be ruled out. The Jets have Ryan's twin brother Rex but recently promoted Dennis Thurman to the teams defensive coordinator.

For fun
amazing work
Wow, it kind of surprises me how few people can really critically analyze this. There's actually a really poetic and poignant message here, I think:
Beautiful. Poetic, ironic, poignant, haunting. Beautiful. Seriously the best piece of visual art I've ever seen. Period.
"Men's greatest weakness is their facade of strength. Women's greatest strength is their facade of weakness."
Think about it this way: If she stabs him in the back, whose side is society going to take? He may be her savior, and she may be his betrayer, but whose story is society going to believe? The beautiful, helpless looking little damsel, or the big, ugly, muscly, imposing male?
Beautiful. Poetic, ironic, poignant, haunting. Beautiful. Seriously the best piece of visual art I've ever seen. Period.
If the artist didn't intend it this way, I'm REALLY surprise and slightly embarrassed now. And maybe I've been spending a bit too much time reading MRA propaganda.
but that knife's
that's no needed
that's no needed
Mmmm. Clever.....
Why the dagger?
is she about to stab him?
I really like the expression on the girl
Nice Work!!
I don't know what it is, but something about this image reminds me of Tekkaman Blade.
Like it.
Классная концепция, мне очень нравится, и стиль тоже, очень интересный контраст ее лица/тела/кожи с ее одеждой и его броней. )))
There's a lot I like about this that I can't quite find the words for.
походу спаситель она
Wow! If I saw this on a book cover, I would be picking it up. Very eye-catching.
They say don't judge or pick up a book based just on the cover, but a couple of my very favorite books were picked up just because the cover caught my eye and it was in the right genre.
Exactly! I used to study the painted covers to paperback collections of Tarzan and Conan the Barbarian as a child. Probably greatly inspired my interest in art, (and books). Never underestimate good promotion.
Oh my a shadowed soldier so badass
The question is... Who is the savior? She or he.

really cool!
love this! awesome work
I really love your use of purples and reds <3
Hey, thanks for the kind words!!
That is fuckin awesome!
Awesome work! I played the game for a while, and was always awestruck at the great artwork. Did you do all of their creature designs or were there others? I didn't know I was looking for the originals until I came across the Stone Giant on reddit.
Thanks for the kind words!! There were definitely quite a few other artists involved, you can probably find a few of them on deviantart!
Hell yes!!
The leaf detail for the boar's armor as well as the bloody maw are what catches my eye.
The rider is great too tho.
The rider is great too tho.
It is very dense and strong!Nice!
Neat :3
Woooow, this is epic! I really like the textures you chose for the armor. And the general atmosphere... man this is awesome!
This is an amazing piece. Awesome details.

I am using mountain lion ob my 27"Mac. Have the same problem. Read somewhere that if the cursor disappears tap Command Tab and it will return.
This helped. But it is still an nuisance issue, hope apple can find a solution.

Same problem to me, going active corners, Mission Control or Expose turns it visible.

in response to Gaoxiong
So I know this is a lion discussion but I too am having this problem with Mountain Lion. Gaoxiong mentioned Command Tab to get the cursor to reappear but I agree that this is not a solution. I've mentioned this on another discussion and would encourage anyone having this problem to chime in on the Mountain Lion discussion here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/19203354#19203354

McPete71 Dec 2, 2012 11:12 PM
in response to Mark Steele2
I agree with Sean Wolter the same (using "show colors", etc.) happens when using Numbers under OSX Mountain Lion. Solution: same as Sean suggests... hold down COMMAND-TAB.
Apple have to look into this. Macs are great, but for their price and level of standards this is just not acceptable.
Manfred34 Jan 3, 2013 5:19 PM
in response to Mark Steele2
I have this same problem, have reported it to Apple, restart my machine now and then(not gonna do it every time the cursor disappears, as that is just assinine) and it still occurs quite sporadically. The one thing that I found right off the bat, as opposed to pushing key combinations, is that when my cursor disappears, i just take my finger on the trackpad and move it around rather quickly back and forth and that always brings the cursor back. Not a great solution, but it works. The only acceptable solution is for Apple to FIX THIS and that is the only solution. I agree, when you pay $1000 or two for a laptop, things like this should NOT be an issue and should be resolved quickly and not have to have users droning on on a support forum about how this is still a problem and how it should get fixed... Pretty sad.

in response to Mark Steele2
Have this issue (still) in 10.9.3. My workaround is to Command+Tab out/back from the problem app and this brings it back. Very annoying though...

I have read a lot about the safety in Tamarindo. In the past tourists have experienced robberies and even murders. I'd like to know what the current conditions are in the area?
How safe are the streets and beaches at night?
We were just there - 5 girls travelling together. We were out until about midnight each night. Plenty of people out at that time and theredidnt seem to be any problems. It looked like a place where you could find trouble if you wanted it, but trouble wouldnt really come looking for you. We didnt go out on the beach at night though, so i dont know about safety there.
I wouldnt hesitate to go back.
Well said. After midnight it can get sketchy and yes, you can find trouble. Don't take more $$ than you need; leave your jewelry at home; go home by midnight; and stay off the beach at night. We have more petty theft than anything. If you leave your belongings unattended they could very well walk off. Violent crime is very rare.
Thank you November ...that is the best way to explain the situation around Tamarindo...if you look for trouble you will find it...just common sense!!
I loved Tamarindo, by the way - it was a lot of fun. I loved the laid-back vibe, the little shops and restaurants, sitting out and having drinks at the restaurants right off the beach, snorkling and kayaking, the people - it it just a cool play to chill for a couple days (or longer, but we only had a couple days).
I just spent a few days in Tamarindo Diria with my family. We walked at night, during the day, on the street, on the beach, not a problem. We went to the beach in front of the hotel, not a problem.
Just use common sense please.
Agree... great summary from everyone. True of Tamarindo and any tourist beach town in the province of Guanacaste.
I was in Tamarindo for 5 days in June(by myself).I felt totally safe.But I always feel safe in Costa Rica.I took taxis if it was late back up the hill where I was staying.Just be careful,as in any tourist town worldwide. Don't carry alot of cash or leave valuables in your car.I keep one credit card and enough cash to get me home.I live in South Florida;crime is bad here too.Enjoy your vacation,Tamarindo and all of Costa Rica are fun and great places to go
I agree with others but would like to emphasize the importance of being cautious about petty theft or "crimes of opportunity". I feel quite safe in Tamarindo, but I do not let any valuables out of my sight. Don't leave any valuables on the beach while swimming or at a dining table while going to the restroom. Don't leave any valuables visible in an unattended vehicle, even if locked.
This is generally valid advice for any tourist destination in the world, but I think that petty theft is much more frequent in CR than in a tourist area in the USA.
Tamarindo is safe if we do insurance, people with cases of theft is that they neglect their safety leaving valuables in the sand while bathing or having decuidos with the pouch in this case women.
is safe if your things and take care not to neglect, yet here there is no known case of a criminal to steal a deadly weapon or dangerous to be walking the streets alone at night but would not hurt to be cautious

News Release
Friday, December 14, 2012
LAPD Releases Statement on School Safety NR12575NELos Angeles: The entire Los Angeles Police Department is greatly saddened by the tragic school shooting that occurred earlier today in Connecticut. At this time there does not appear to be any connection with Los Angeles, and it appears to be an isolated incident in Newtown, Connecticut.
LAPD personnel have been working closely with our partners at the Los Angeles Unified School District Police Department LAUSDPD to ensure that all students in all our schools are safe.
Immediately after the shooting, we contacted the LAUSDPD and began coordinating our school safety efforts. All LAPD patrol divisions throughout the City of Los Angeles were directed to make contact with their local school principal or administrator to ensure there were no issues or concerns at any of our schools. In addition, LAPD officers were directed to provide additional patrols to all of our schools for the remainder of the day. Those patrols will continue when our students return from the holiday break on January 7, 2013.
"Our thoughts and prayers are with the families in Connecticut and all who are affected by this unspeakable act." said LAPD Chief Charlie Beck. "The LAPD is totally committed to work with our LAUSD and private school partners to ensure that our students and staff are safe."
LAUSDPD Chief Steve Zipperman will join LAPD Commander Andrew Smith at a joint press conference at LAPD Headquarters this afternoon at 2 p.m.

I have been on a bit of a sandwich kick lately. Slap anything on bread, and most likely – I'm going to want to make it! That being said, in the past few years, I haven't been a big tuna lover. (Although here is where I admit that I've never had fresh tuna – only the canned kind. Fresh tuna isn't very easy to come by here!) But for some reason, when I saw Rachael Ray make this open faced sandwich, I really wanted one. So much that it went on the next menu plan!
This was a very fresh-tasting sandwich, despite the fact that it uses canned tuna. I loved this mayo-less version of a tuna sandwich! I do love olives in anything, and their saltiness really added to this sandwich. It's definitely one I'd make again!
- ½ small red onion, finely chopped
- juice from 1 lemon
- 1 teaspoon tomato paste
- 1 garlic clove, finely grated or minced
- 1 teaspoon Herbs de Provence
- freshly ground black pepper
- ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 6-ounce can Italian tuna
- ½ cup Nicoise or Kalamata olives, pitted and chopped
- 2 tablespoons capers
- ¼ cup parsley leaves, finely chopped
- 2 slices thick-cut Brioche bread
- ½ cup Gruyere cheese, shredded
- Heat the oven to 375F.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the lemon and the onion. Add the tomato paste, garlic, Herbs de Provence, pepper and extra virgin olive oil. Stir together. Add in the tuna, olives, capers and parsley, and mix to combine while breaking up tuna slightly.
- Divide the tuna mixture between the 2 pieces of Brioche bread, transfer to a baking sheet and top with the cheese. Bake in the oven for 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the tuna is heated through.

10 Responses to Saturdays with Rachael Ray – French-Style Tuna Melts
I've never had a tuna melt! Weird! This looks neat.
Oh I love fresh tuna! Too bad it is hard to come by where you live. We also love, love tuna sandwiches around my house. Can't wait to try this recipe to change up the plain ole tuna sandwich.
I absolutely detest mayo so this tuna salad seems like one that would be perfect for me! I've been loving easy dishes like this lately…definitely going to have to give it a go!
I am a Utah girl myself and have found ahi tuna steaks at Sam's Club and Winco – Winco's are individually flash frozen. We ADORE ahi tuna and it would brighten my day and yours if you gave it a try! It is elegant, delicious, and beyond simple to prepare. It literally takes 2-3 minutes to sear, then before you know it, you're gobbling up a meal fine enough to feed roylaty and it only took minutes. Don't be intimidated by its tasty-rareness! Speaking of Rachel Ray, here is one of our family's favorite ahi tuna recipes:
Note: This recipe serves "one" and I highly reccomend going easy on the seasoning because that is A LOT (at least enough for two steaks) and you don't want to cover up the FABULOUS tuna. Also, sliced avacados are a must! I hope you enjoy this as much as we do in our neck of the woods…
love the new design! as always a great place for inspiration!
I'm embarassed to say I've never had a tuna melt. But this post confirms I need to remedy that soon

I recently installed wordpress over on a dreamhost server. My website http://www.???.com has the wordpress files at http://www.???.com/wordpress/
index.php and .htaccess are in the main section: http://www.???.com/
So .htaccess & permalinks work, I can manually copy the text into .htaccess. However, WordPress will not automatically update it (patricularly annoying when adding/changing pages). I have tried setting .htaccess to 666 or 777, but neither work. I don't think its an issue like AllowOverride, since .htacess works, but WordPress just won't update it.
Any suggestions?

Happy St. David of Wales' day! Dewi Sant, as he is called in Welsh, lived from about 500 to 589. Born in Wales, David established monasteries (one tradition holds that he founded Glastonbury Abbey) before being consecrated bishop; on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem, the Patriarch there consecrated him archbishop of Wales. Legend holds that once while he was preaching to a large crowd, a dove alighted on his shoulder, signifying the blessing of the Holy Spirit on his preaching, so he now often is depicted with a dove on his shoulder. His last words, preached the Sunday before he died, included an exhortation to "Be joyful, and keep your faith and your creed. Do the little things that you have seen me do and heard about." To this day, "Do the little things in life" is a common Welsh idiom.
The Welsh composer Arwel Hughes has composed an oratorio on the life of Saint David, called Dewi Sant. It's out of print now and used copies are rather expensive, but if you love choral music it's worth checking out.

Found in an album, 1920's-1930's era, having other photos of the Gunstine, Gunstunson, and Ness families. Some names are written on the black paper pages, but are very difficult to read. Names I have given to these photos may be based on my best guess of deciphering the writing or research.
Mystery: What are the names of the women in this photo?

I WANTED to write a novel someday about a girl.
Having written two novels about boys, Never Hug a Nun and Try to Kiss a Girl, I wanted to tell a story whose main character does more than hop freight trains and pee on bushes.
But the problem was… who.
Who was this girl? What did she want? And what was she all about?
I journaled about different ideas for about eight months. Mostly, when no ideas came my journal entries consisted of: "This will never work. I'm going take a nap."
Then one day a girl named Mimi Maloney got on her Schwinn and rode across the blank screen of my computer.
Mimi, Mimi, Mimi…
Like all girls, she seemed smarter than boys, but with Mimi you could tell she was way smarter – not in trivial things like math or science. She was smarter in life.
Without warning she sneaked into an all-girls prep school, pulled the fire alarm and hid in the bathroom until all the nuns and students left, so she could raid the principal's office and steal some school letterhead.
What was she doing? I wondered
Turns out Mimi was in love. She hurried home and typed up a fake letter on the Royal typewriter in her room – a letter from the school to her parents saying that they were sorry, but "due to overcrowding" they could no longer fit her in as originally planned next fall. Instead, the letter said, why don't you send her to that fine public high school down the road? (So, that was it. She had a boyfriend at the public high school.) What a schemer. No boy could think like that.
I felt embarrassed for the eighth grade boys in the story compared to Mimi. They reminded me of me—shallow, gross, mired in juvenile delinquency.
Boys like Patrick Cantwell and his best friend Tony Vivamano. They stole a snow globe paperweight from the desktop of a cruel teacher and put it in the hand of the gold statue of Mary on the church roof. (Didn't they think someone would notice that up there?)
The Archbishop saw it during a visit. Archbishops are always looking at roofs.
It's discovery touched off an Inquisition that raged for the final two weeks of eighth grade. Whoever did this, and by God, we will catch them… Whoever was responsible for this sacrilege will have their Catholic high school acceptance letters torn to pieces — and end up in the opium den of the pubic schools. (That was always the threat back then near the end of Catholic eighth grade.)
The boys were in trouble and Mimi agreed to help them.
Of course, you say, of course the boys probably have to fall in love with Mimi. I was against it, but they got lured into the project and ignored all my finer subplots I had outlined for them. The boys shook me off and zoomed in after Mimi. She was just too much for them to pass up – freckled, fast, bike-riding, self-determined, self-reliant, self-doubting, loud, quiet, shy, assertive, green-eyed, perceived by most as just an average girl, but secretly she was a genius in lying, organizing small criminal matters, and love. That was her only weakness – falling in love. That—and fainting in a crisis.
Well, the book was galloping along strange enough, but then it got stranger. One night, to my astonishment, President Nixon and Henry Kissinger took over a chapter. Nixon appeared in a white tennis outfit playing Ping Pong in the White House basement with his Chinese master Feng Wu. Nixon was working up a sweat.
Just then, Kissinger comes down the steps to warn Nixon about the possibility that the upcoming Senate Watergate hearings could upend his presidency. Bagghhhhh, Nixon says swatting the ball.
I was going to erase Nixon. This isn't your book, I said. But he urged me to leave him in. Nixon got all insistent and jowly about his request. This could be instructive to the youth of today, he argued.
He did have a point.
His downfall did have some parallel to the main story. The snow globe investigation was raging in the same weeks (late May 1973) as the Senate Watergate hearings were about to start. Nixon was ready to lie just as bravely and earnestly as the boys who put the snow globe on the roof. Nixon had Kissinger to help him prepare a statement. But the boys had Mimi. (Had it been the other way around, history may have been different.)
Meanwhile, back at the school, the dandelion seeds drifted in the breeze above the blacktop playground crowded with kids. Summer was oh so near. Emotionally blank eighth graders wondered: How could it be almost over? Who am I? Can I name all the planets?
The big question was who put the snow globe in the hand of Mary. That's what the investigators asked each student in a dark room with a bright light in their eyes. Mimi knew what to say. She had the kind of answers I never had when I was in the principal's office.
A few times I doubted her chances of getting away with it all, and felt sorry for her. She came close to blowing up once. But Mimi was a meticulous one. Always on the move, romping through the book with a plan of her own, and the boys only too eager to chase after her.
When I looked out the window one afternoon, the winter snow on the roof had melted into spring and it was over. The end. Tah-dah. Time to do some work around the house. Mimi had given me a book. I don't know how she did it. But I know it wasn't planned by me. I was just the stenographer to her daydream. She was running the show, the whole book and everyone one in it.
That's how Mimi is. No one knows where she is today.
Snow Globes and Hand Grenades is scheduled for release November 17. You can pre-order a copy on line at Left Bank Books, a fine independent book store that has a cat roaming around.

Henrico Foster Care program orientation session planned Oct. 19
Henrico residents interested in becoming foster parents can learn about the county's Foster Care program at an orientation session scheduled for 6-8 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 19 at the Human Services Building boardroom, 8600 Dixon Powers Drive.
Participants will receive information on a variety of topics, including the special needs of foster children; what it takes to be a successful foster parent; working with program staff and the biological parents of a foster child; and the application and approval process.
