Pumpkin Spice White Hot Chocolate : I'm Lovin It
This recipe had me at Pumpkin….then I was sold after I read White Hot Chocolate! I'm a sucker for the Pumpkin Spice Latte's at Starbucks so this recipe really caught my eye. It's a delicious hot drink that does not include coffee, so it's the perfect treat for the the non coffee drinkers and children!
I think I will be sipping one of these on Halloween night, awaiting the onslaught of trick-or-treaters. It would also be perfect at Thanksgiving or just any cold night snuggled up by the fire!
Summary: Just like pumpkin pie in a mug!
- 1.5 cups whole milk
- 1/2 cup canned pumpkin puree
- 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- pinch of ground cloves
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- pinch sea salt
- 2 ounces white chocolate (roughly chopped)
- In a small sauce pan over medium heat, combine milk, pumpkin and spices. Cook string constantly until just simmering.
- Remove from heat and add chocolate ( reserve some for garnish)
- Just before serving, top each mug with a generous mound of whipped cream, a few shavings of white chocolate, and a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon.
- Serve immediately.
To store, let cool, cover, and refrigerate. Reheat to serve. Recipe can easily be doubled.
Slightly adapted from Closet Cooking.
** We used our Cocoa Latte Maker to make this and it turned out terrific!

We sipped these while we watched the Cardinals win the first game of the World Series……we may need to drink them each game night to keep the luck going!! GO BIRDS!

Friday, January 7, 2011
ATHENS, Ga. (AP) — The University of Georgia has ended the nightly news broadcasts at university-owned television station WNEG.
The station laid off 12 full-time and five part-time workers, including news anchor Ray Metoyer, leaving the station with a work force of seven people.
The university is changing WNEG from a commercial operation to an affiliate of the nonprofit Georgia Public Broadcasting System.
WNEG's professional news broadcast, which had aired five nights a week, will be replaced by a student-produced newscast called NewsSource, which will air Mondays through Thursdays starting about Jan. 24.
The UGA Research Foundation bought WNEG-TV in 2008 for $1.4 million, with plans to operate it as a commercial business. The plan was derailed by a slumping economy.

I was wondering if any of you guys have seen this movie. I just saw it recently and thought it was pretty cool and wondered if any of you have seen it and liked it. Supposedly it got really big in england or so it seems. What did you think of it?
I really liked it but I'm really not picky about my movies. I thought it was thought through very well and has a lot of depth to it.

Hi Folks,
I hope I can explain this right. This was working just fine the other day but now when it changes from one image to the next you still see part of the first image in about a 10 pixel row above the current image. Then it looks like it's doubling the image but not stacked correctly. Here is the site it's on:
the slider is in the bottom left and I'm only using two images right now but as soon as they start to fade you'll see the problem. Any help is very much appreciated!

Retailers agree that being single is not always easy, especially when you're a frozen pea. Sales of traditional one-item bags of frozen vegetables take a hit whenever more sophisticated blends are introduced into the market -- such as those that marry a few different vegetables, enrobe them with sauce or even include a protein, like chicken.

Papatowai is a small settlement in the Catlins ward of the Clutha District of the southeastern South Island of New Zealand. The settlement is situated half-way between the cities of Dunedin and Invercargill, on the Pacific coast close to the mouth of the Tahakopa River. There is a permanent population of around 30 people but with most of the houses in the town being holiday homes (locally known as "cribs") the population rises dramatically during the holiday seasons, particularly around New Year's Day and Easter.
Papatowai is surrounded by native podocarp forest and there are numerous walks in the area to waterfalls, and sand beaches in addition to bushwalks. There is also a walk to an archaeological site where it is possible to see middens left by early Māori inhabitants of the area. In the past, the bones of moa have also been found here.
The Papatowai Challenge, a 15.7 km bush and beach run and walk, is held annually on the first weekend in March. The 2008 event attracted over 360 people. Papatowai is also known for its big-wave surfing.

Brady Quinn had waited 3 years for a second chance to be a starting quarterback in the NFL. He wasn't going to let a concussion put him back on the sideline.
That is the reason why the Chiefs quarterback admitted to attempting to play through his 2nd concussion of the season, which he believes happened when a defender's knee struck the back of his helmet in a game against the Oakland Raiders on October 28.
Quinn recalls having vision issues after the blow, but made a decision to remain in the game, although he was dazed enough to put on the wrong helmet on the sideline between possessions.
He never saw the Raiders' Rolando McClain while getting sacked later in the 1st quarter, perhaps augmenting the severity of the initial concussion, and recalled having "tunnel vision" and being unable to see the Oakland defensive backs when he threw an interception.
It was at that point Quinn was removed from the game.
"That's why I tried to remain in the game, because it was the first chance for me in a while," said Quinn, speaking for the 1st time since the injury. "I attempted to play thru it, and that is my fault for not being smart about it."
Quinn already has been excluded for Kansas City's game. It's the second straight game he's missed since turning into the starting quarterback.
The previous 1st-round draft pick sustained his first concussion this year when he got hit while scrambling in a preseason game at Green Bay. Quinn asserted he blacked out for a few seconds after the blow, and then saw stars, but everything started to clear up after a couple of minutes. NFL lines
The newest concussion seems to be lingering, Quinn related, giving him reason for concern.
"It's definitely a thought," he announced, "because it is the 2nd one this year, and if you come back too soon, before your symptoms calm down, it does involve some risk."
The very fact that Quinn declined to remove himself from the game typifies a "gladiator-like" culture that NFL executives are trying to change, and the lengths that some players are prepared to go to maintain their tenuous grasp on a job.
The issue of player safety has been thrust into the spotlights amid widespread reports of dementia in former players, and with roughly 3,500 ex-players concerned in various lawsuits saying the NFL has mishandled or ignored head injuries. The scrutiny has led to thousands of dollars in fines handed out by the league for unsportsmanlike conduct or unnecessary roughness.
The players' union has requested that the NFL place independent neurologists on the sidelines of every game and include them as part of the initial concussions examination custom. For now, when a player shows signs of head trauma, immediate exams are conducted by team physicians.
Quinn said he's now being evaluated by Doctor Micky Collins, the director of the UPMC Sports Medicine Concussion Program in Pittsburgh, one of the number 1 experts in the diagnosis, treatment and rehab of athletes who've suffered concussions.
Collins helped design the ImPACT test now used by many pro sports leagues, including the NFL, to assess concussions and establish when a injured athlete can safely return to play.

Dr. Vezza has given us reason to believe that he has not treated our animals properly which has resulted in their deaths. It became clear after his treatment of two of our pets, in particular, that investigating the opinion of another veterinarian in the future would be warranted to ensure that we were receiving appropriate care. I will not further expound upon the specifics of these situations here in order to maintain my anonymity.
Dr. Vezza also appears to have difficult controlling anger, which has resulted in him interacting with our family in unprovoked enraged fits. Although we had been loyal customers for years, Dr. Vezza lacked compassion and caring in dealing with us and our pets, even in times of crisis such as when we had to make the difficult decision to euthanize our pet. He has erupted in angry outbursts without cause in front of his clientele and staff that were frightening and made everyone feel extremely uncomfortable.
His credentials are from a school in Caribbean which is not surprising as his competence is clearly lacking. I am surprised that Dr. Vezza has not been the subject of many malpractice suits. Please "Google" his name to read some of the reviews by other clients which further elucidate the portrait of this veterinarian.

django trunk rev: 6658
in: django.contrib.comments.models
repr method appears five times in the comments models.py file, this causes a Unicode error when users enter names or comments with non-ascii characters. Discovered on a production site when user entered their Chinese name up the creation of a new FreeComment.
I asked on the irc #django room if this sounded like a bug. It was flagged as a bug because apparently all of the repr and str methods were supposed to be replaced with unicode methods.
Assuming that this is the case I've submitted a patch of a simple find of django.contrib.comments.models which is no more than a simple search for repr, replacing all instances with unicode.
This is my first ticket, I would like to produce a unit test for this change, but am having a little trouble. If there is someone from the community who wouldn't mind giving me a little bit of help with this, I'd really enjoy submitting more complete tickets in the future and hopefully becoming an active tester for Django.

comment:2 Changed 9 years ago by mtredinnick
Replacing {{repr}} with {{unicode}} is often not a particularly good solution, since the former is output for developers and the latter is targeted at a different audience. In this case, it's not a bad solution, though.

#20 - lordmaddie (11/08/2014) [-]
Ok, I live in England, so I'm going to be describing the English system. I don't know the equivalent of any other countries, so sorry about that.
During my GCSEs, I did IT mainly because my friends did it. The computers regularly broke, so we would have to take the trip to the mysterious IT Technician's office. It was full of computer crap, and these big ol' server things, and they'd fix your problem like... like magic. This is when I knew I wanted to become an IT Tech.
Anyway, GCSEs were piss easy (IT was basically Microsoft Office 101), and I moved onto A-levels. A-levels were anything but easy. Whereas GCSEs were simple memorisation, A-levels required me to actually interpret data, to actually think.
Furthermore, there was an incredible pressure to go to university. I was VERY DETERMINED not to do this, not to get myself in debt, and not continue with exams and academia that I was so clearly bad at. My teachers didn't like this attitude (less people going to uni = them looking bad on the school leaderboards). I concentrated on Computing (which was coding and stuff), got a C, and failed all my other A-levels.
From here, I went on the dole. At first I thought it was great; £50 a week to look for a job - which I would've been doing anyway. I just wanted to get an apprenticeship. But the unemployment office tried to force me into all sorts of jobs, being a cleaner, or slave-labour jobs in supermarkets where I wouldn't get paid at all. I soon got my apprenticeship.
The apprenticeship was... suspiciously easy. We were treated like children, the course was easier than GCSEs, you required no qualifications to get onto it. They were expecting people who dropped out of school at 16. They instead got a class of 18-25 year-olds with A-levels. This caused some conflict, especially when we completed a week's worth of work in two days. Again, they tried to force me into jobs I didn't want - I stated quite clearly that I wanted a Technician's role, they made me go to interviews in marketing, in sales, in coding.... Worst of all, they didn't TELL the employers! I'd go there, say I wanted to be a technician, and they'd go "Oh... This is a marketing position" or somesuch.
But the greatest thing to come out of that course was my job experience. 6 months working in a school as a proper technician. THIS is what enabled me to get where I am.
Now I am an intern for a local council. Not sure how I describe what I do. I fix things. People call up, I go to them, fix it. I also spend a lot of time upgrading PCs to Windows 7 - the council was all on XP when Microsoft discontinued support for it. That's basically wiping a PC, installing 7 and all the programs, and then transferring all of the user's files over the network onto the new PC.
TL;DR: Don't go to uni unless you want a high-paid job as a programmer or sysadmin or something. Get work experience as soon as you can.
Being a Tech is basically just helping people with whatever problems they have.
#45 - themilkisdead (11/08/2014) [-]
I actually found GCSEs really difficult, but I'm currently doing A-Levels. I like it, but it is really difficult as well. Sixth Form is very hard.
#46 - lordmaddie (11/08/2014) [-]
I wouldn't worry about it, if you are. Finding GCSEs/A-levels difficult really only means you're bad at tests and stuff.
No-one gives a fuck about your GCSEs after A-level (GCSEs expire after 5 years anyway), and no-one gives a fuck about A-levels after you get some other qualifications or work experience.
Uni imo is a waste of time, and I really think most people shouldn't bother with it. Apprenticeships are quite good, because you get a fancy bit of paper that employers like and some work experience. Get as much work experience as you can, you'll look so much better to employers (also, moneymoneymoney).
#47 - themilkisdead (11/08/2014) [-]
Well thanks but I've actually been wanting to go to University for quite some time. But I understand it's not for everyone.
#29 - angelusprimus (11/08/2014) [-]
Don't have to go to uni to be a sysadmin either. Just do all the Cisco levels, costs far less and you can do it while working.

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. (KKCO) - A 4th grade student says he was heartbroken when he was visiting Roice-Hurst Humane Society and came across a paralyzed dog, so he teamed up with some fellow students do something about it.
Today the dog is walking again and the Humane Society says it's all because of the love and attention he received from the students.
Austin Rush, a 4th grader at Orchard Avenue Elementary School, had a mission to help Blue walk and be like a normal dog.
"I thought it was really, really sad how he wasn't by any other dogs. He was just in a small cage. He couldn't move around," says Rush.
Blue had a spinal cord stroke that caused him to be paralyzed. Some dogs recover and others don't, but Blue's recovery was slow and vets said if he ever wanted to move again a wheelchair was his only option.
"He couldn't move. All he would be able to do was sit up and sleep," says Rush.
So Rush wrote a proposal and asked his principal and teachers if he could organize a fundraiser to raise money for a wheelchair for Blue.
"He had told the story of meeting Blue and how he really felt like we as a community needed to help Blue and Roice-Hurst," says Denis Hoctor, principal at Orchard Avenue Elementary.
With teachers and students on board, Rush formed a committee to help with the fundraisers. The held a penny contest, a bake sale and sold paper paws.
"I've never seen a dog paralyzed before and I think it's really nice to help a dog become more active," says Aaron Greenwalt a committee member.
"I just like that you're saving like a person's life except for you are saving a dog's life so someone else could have a great job," says Derek Vecchia another committee member.
And in the process of raising money for a wheelchair a miracle happened. Blue is walking again.
"Thanks to Austin and his friends, I think they made a huge impact with helping him to just have that will to really want to get better," says Denise Lashmett, executive director for Roice-Hurst.
And vets say he's going to make a full recovery. "He can get up by himself. He can walk. He hops and he's getting more playful and I guess it's just a question of time for him to have full function of his legs and hips again" says Lashmett.
For Rush and the students of Orchard Avenue Elementary, it's a lesson that even kids can impact the world.
"I think the really important thing we can all learn from this is one person, regardless of their age anyone can make a difference," Lashmett says.
And it all started with one simple desire. "I just wanted to help him so he could walk and be like a normal dog," says Rush.
Blue is now available for adoption and if you think he would make a great addition to your family. Contact Roice-Hurst at (970) 434-7337.

Ocwen is a ruthless, predatory Foreclosure Factory that now has extended into stealing homes of prime borrowers with good credit. Cuz they got all the sub-prime ones!
Previously, Ocwen only serviced sub prime or "bad" loans. Freddie Mac apparently feels that they are an appropriate servicer of prime loans.
So if you are a responsible borrower, with a prime loan and good credit, you may find yourself fighting off foreclosure with Ocwens predatory practices.

Hi folks, I'm Quentin and I have been a working artist since the early eighties. My speciality is trompe l'œil (note the use of the Œ for the correct spelling) but I undertake many different styles.
I also design and mount websites (some of which can be seen on the pages in the menu) prepare graphics for web and print and much more. I call my self SuperSnail simply because I sign my work with a stylised "QR" which you can see above and resembles a snail. For more info about me please see the ABOUT page.
I also use this web space to mouth off a bit. Can't help it. I look at the world and I see so many somnambulists plodding through dreary, avoidable, tough lives with so much un-noticed weirdness going on all around them. It makes me wonder why they don't all wake up and we can do something to restore people a bit of control over their lives instead of faceless corporations dictating to OUR governmental representatives how poor and deprived they want us to be.
Don't play their game: you don't need that extra 42″ flat-screen with its designed in life expectancy of a couple of years. Buy an instrument, entertain yourself instead of being spoon-fed mindless sit-coms and police dramas with their glorification of violence and infidelity.
I hope you enjoy browsing my work, that you don't get too annoyed at my rants, and if you feel I can help in some way please contact me.
I was talking to a Spanish friend who was looking at my site. She rightly complained that it is all in english. This is something I hope to correct in the near future when I return from Wales.
In the mean time here is a graphic produced in english and now been put into the two languages.
Up the road from where I am currently staying in Borth is the university town of Aberystwyth. The name means "mouth of the Ystwyth river".
The town is situated near the confluence of the rivers Ystwyth and Rheidol, on the west coast of Wales. Aberystwyth has a pier and a fine seafront which stretches from Constitution Hill at the north end of the Promenade to the mouth of the harbour at the south, taking in two separate beach stretches divided by the castle.
Aberystwyth castle is an Edwardian fortress that was built during the First Welsh War in the late 13th century. It was begun during Edward I's first Welsh campaign.

A mindless fascist regime in Spain (known as the PP or Partido Popular (now there's a misnomer if ever there was one)) has necessitated a spell away from home. Phil, an old friend, invited me to stay as long as I need to sort out various problems. But it has also given me the opportunity to take more photos.

So Rob asked me to create some more parodies on various governmental bodies that have way too much influence over out lives and indulge in CRONY CAPITALISM.
I was happy to do it. Some are new, some are alterations. But either way they still apply. So why don't you people that stumble across my site wake up and start waking up your friends and families? Go on – life will improve.
And while you are at it, check out the Alliance for Natural Health – they make way more sense than most of the governmental clap-trap.
Federal Trade Commission
U. S. Food and Drug Administration
European Food Safety Authority
So there I am minding my business when I get a call from one of my oldest (in time, not age) friends, Rob Verkerk from the Alliance for Natural Health. He and a colleague of his have taken on the the distributorship of a health supplement called Nuzest which was going to be promoted at The Polaris Professional Jiu-JItsu Invitational that took place on Sept. 12th 2015, in Cardiff, Wales.(see here) and can I edit film? In a rush?
Well I have messed around with film, but I wouldn't say I edited film. Anyway, this is how it turned out. I was happy with it.
The Gag Law – La Ley Mordaza or more correctly Citizen Safety Bill
The reality is that the Gag Law is just one more in a series of highly repressive actions by state institutions against Spain's autonomous social movements [1]. Designed to keep us robots in place and to deny us our rights to free speech, to demonstrate against the repressive fascist regime that has been reinstalled.
This writer, Belen Fernandez, pretty much hits the nail on the head in her article Outlawing public opinion in Spain
The New World Order in action folk.
Time to wake up.

A quick trip to France to visit my sister.
Or visit Photobucket to see all the photos and in more detail.
Well, as the saying goes, there are none so blind as those that will not see.
On the 20 November 1975 General Franco shuffled off his mortal coil (none to soon) and ostensibly a tyrannical dictatorship came to an end. The Spanish peoples got a stab at "democracy", albeit with a royal family still in place. Much the same as the UK. A bunch of out-dated spongers collecting huge salaries and claiming vast tracts of prime real-estate for free.
Forty years on and the past has been forgotten… those that cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. So we have the PP as the governing body. The PP (Partido Popular – so they think) are a bunch of self agandising fascists that believe in nepotism and stripping the country of it's wealth in order to curry favours with the corporate oligarchy and make themselves "rich and famous" at the cost of the citizen.
Out of this mess (Andalucía has an unemployment of roughly 40%) came PODEMOS (translated – WE CAN). A brand new party for the people with the people in mind. They came in overnight and claimed so many seats on their first trial run that it rather appears that they may win the next elections. I think that will be the first time in the history of world politics that that has happened – should it come to pass.
Naturally the corporate controlled media are calling it COMMUNISM. But then again their education is so dire that they probably don't really know what communism is.
Suffice it to say that should PODEMOS win, it should be a big rocket up the arse of conventional 2 party politics.
Don't you think we've had enough proof that politics and rampant capitalism are in actual fact destroying the world?
Do you think that a bunch of bio-engineers whose remit is to make a profit at any cost (we will pay the cost, it seems like the first mutations in human placentas are occurring in the Indonesian Archipelago possibly as a result of GM soya.) are to be trusted with out FOOD!
I mean, come on folks, what we put in our bodies is pretty fundamental. Tomatoes with fish genes? Super-mutant weeds causing havoc with water courses.
Only in America is a pizza classed as a VEGETABLE
Only in America is a pizza classed as a VEGETABLE.
Yes folks, you heard right, A VEGETABLE.
Quick aside: did you also know that in the good ol' US of A that 13 people die every hour due to food related diseases and ignorance? Personally I'd take a look at microwaves and their role in destroying food quality.
So the main company involved in trying to make us eat their untested, unknown garbage is MONSANTO. Their logo says
"BIO-TECHNOLOGY – innovation, collaboration, speed".

Our menagerie has come on apace…
Well over at Jardimals we are tidying up the snail. So I thought I'd put a picture of Slippy the Snail and Eddie on here as this new sculpture furniture for gardens is driving me at the moment.
The Jardimals project continues with our frog. At the moment we aren't quite finished but here are some pics of the beast under construction.
Had odd thoughts as to the state of the world? This site has.
Why not have a read and see what you think. If nothing else it's an unconventional view of the world.

UPDATE: unfortunately it seems that this site has been abandoned. Shame, there was some good stuff there.
The Jardimals project is to make sculpture as garden furniture. The feet of garden benches will all be the same height thereby giving the client a choice of asymmetrical feet of varying shape and design. To date we have a snail, a frog and a hedgehog. There are plenty more to come.
Why Eddie?

Decorated furniture has been with us for centuries. Painted, carved, marquetry and lots more if you look around. Because of my trompe l'œil discipline I naturally gravitated to that side of the decoration. I have painted lots of furniture to commission over the years, and, in many ways, it's my favourite./p>
On the furniture page you will see some of the examples that I managed to photograph. But this is a toilet seat with items painted on the lid. They are inexpensive and fun. Naturally the more on the seat the more it costs. With most painting and especially with trompe l'œil the money is in the details.

Ambigrams are words that can be read normally or upside down. They were brought to fame by Dan Brown's DaVinci Code. These were created with vectors and in some cases viewing them upside down gives a different word.

Not too sure about the New World Order and all it's various security agencies. I don't do TV but when I do have the misfortune to see some it always strikes me as bizarre. It seems that there is a lot of bull being talked, to my mind. I have always seen the TV as a method of insidious programming, an electro-narcotic. All this scaremongering has lead to the birth of various alphabet agencies that are supposed to be working for us.
I have my doubts.
So here are a few political statements and parodies. Hope you like them.

I decided that Facebook's profile pictures weren't to my taste especially as they use facial recognition software. Call me paranoid but I don't like my biometrics all over the place and included in passports and picture driver's licenses, being clocked by CCTV. Couple that with all the GPS embedded meta data… well suffice it to say that I no longer use Facebook. I prefer to keep a slightly lower profile.
Result are these Facebook profile pictures for the wary.

So living in Spain at the moment is dire. There is no work and even when one does find something everyone wants it for nothing. The only advantage to being here is that there are no heating bills, I can see the sea, the weather is… well better than the north of Europe. Nuff said.
So my boredom lead to some vector graphics of the rapidly approaching and anticipated summer vistas.

Website design. No I can't build you a site like Amazon but I can undertake sites for people that want a web presence. The site featured here took some 200 hours – but then there were a lot of products to include along with the resizing and optimising of photos for the web. On the websites page you will see other examples that are considerably smaller and quicker to produce.
I also have a good friend at PlusLocal that hosts all my sites for me. His servers are wicked fast and the support is impeccable and the price? Well I like it.

I have to admit that I find logos hard to do – I tend to over complicate them. Never the less there are a couple with which I am happy.

I love guitars. They have female forms. And bearing that in mind I decided to undertake a series of painted guitars. The idea was that each guitar should be a beach view with a babe. So far I have to admit that 2 are painted and 2 are half done and 2 are primed and based ready to go. When I stop prevaricating I'll finish them off.
This one is the famous Copacabana beach in Rio where I had the privilege of living for a while. The others, so far, feature Phuket, Frösakull and Mombasa in my country of birth. The remaining 2 are to be decided but I think they'll be Australia somewhere and Costa Rica.

I like working in 3D but I don't often get the chance to do it commercially. The case of the Buddha came about when decorating a Thai restaurant in Mijas Pueblo, Costa del Sol. I heard the owner complaining that he couldn't get a big bronze Buddha from Thailand in time for the inauguration of the restaurant. I offered to build him one… he accepted.
It was built of plaster on an armature and then finished with a faux bronze patina. The faces of the Thai workers in the restaurant lit up and, I have to admit, I was blown away when they started praying and decorating Buddha's space.
Spread the love.
The art of the faux finish is to paint one surface to make it appear something else. In Victorian England cheap doors were grained to make them look as if made of oak or some other expensive wood. Similarly walls were painted to appear as if made of marble and other stone finishes.
Working in London in the 1980s saw a "reverse snobbery" taking place where the painted finishes were more expensive than the actual item. They became a social status and spawned many TV shows on how to paint faux finishes. Suddenly everyone was an expert!

Sign writing is dying. Mostly people have computers and a vast array of (unused) fonts. It's so much easier to go to the print shop and say I want a sign made up saying "El Secreto de la Abuela" or whatever and have it run off on sticky plastic.
Granted the sticky plastic has come a long way, it now incorporates UV filters and there are special varnishes that help with longevity too. But it has killed an art form. Could plastic get the anchor and shadows on this yellow wall?
Again – Now everyone's an expert.
Some 20+ years on and this sign still exists! Sure the pub has been repainted but they left the sign. It's a bit of a shame they painted the walls a pale beige/pink because the shadow colour was calculated for a yellow ground and doesn't really work that well on the beige/pink.
When I am not working for someone I like to create what I call "collages". I guess the word stems from the days when I used to use loads of magazines, scissors, scalpels and glue. These days it is way easier on the computer. However the computer does take some of the discipline out of it as the images are resizable, editable and they can be flipped horizontally or vertically which of course couldn't be done with a cut-out.
Probably a better term would be photo-montage.
This is an art form that I like immensely and was originally inspired but the British artist Penny Slinger whom I met briefly in the 1970s.
Murals can serve to change an otherwise dull wall area into something with a little more atmosphere. Whether it simply breaks up a large space or helps to add to the atmosphere of, say, a restaurant.
When living in Eire I got involved in theatre thanks to Michael Stafford, my kid's granddad. I knew nothing but he had confidence in my abilities and the result was a lot of prizes and honourable mentions for my visions of the various plays. Thanks Mick!
This set was the Post Horn Gallop by Derek Benfield. Now I wouldn't be that into farces but the play set me in mind of cartoons. So I painted the set like that. The reviewer in Gorey Co. Wexford made the ego boosting comment that the price of admission was worth it if only to see the set.

A Prince George's County homeowner says Pepco workers put out a fire in her home and possibly saved her three-year-old son's life.
But a crewmember says the mom is the hero.
About 9 a.m. this morning Pepco crews arrived at Malebogo Munamunungu's home in Upper Marlboro to string electrical lines. The house is being renovated.
A Pepco crewmember, Ryan Callahan, 19, heard a smoke alarm going off in the house.
"Me and another man, Brandon Edwards, went around to the side of the house to see if we could see smoke," Callahan says. "We saw smoke."
Munamunungu was walking down the end of the home's long driveway to take two of her young children to their school bus. Three-year-old Asher was asleep in an upstairs bedroom.
Just outside the house, Callahan grabbed a fire extinguisher from his truck and he and his partner, Donnie Pfieffer, went inside.
Intense fire and thick smoke filled the kitchen and was quickly spreading.
"You could see it through the window, so I came in.," Callahan says. "We hit the fire one more time. We thought it was out. The smoke was thick."
A Pepco worker called 911, ran to get Munamunungu and brought her back to the house.
"I rushed upstairs to make sure I got this one," Munamunungu says. "Fortunately, in my bedroom there was no smoke."
Asher was fine. She grabbed him and they escaped through an upstairs exit.
The Pepco workers put out the fire before firefighters even arrived.
"The Pepco guys were a godsend," Munamunungu says.
"I don't consider us heroes," Callahan says. "The mom, I give her credit. She's the hero. She's the one who ran inside the house with all the smoke. We just put the fire out."

Chevrolet Performance LS 5.3L Engine Controller Kit
This calibrated controller kit from Chevrolet Performance
enables the quicker and easier adaptation of GM's popular
5.3L V-8 for countless hot rod projects. It works with 2005-
2009 5.3L engines and is specially programmed for retrofit
installations, with features that make getting the vehicle
running easier than if a production 5.3L controller were used.
The kit also includes hardware and components that don't
typically come with used engines, such as the wiring harness,
mass airflow meter and electronic throttle pedal - eliminating
the need to source them separately.
Unlike the calibration for regular-production controllers, this specially calibrated 5.3L controller does not engage the cylinder-deactivating Active Fuel Management system that originally came with the engines. A number of other features associated with production-model systems are turned off with the controller, as well, eliminating the possibility of "trouble codes" being set. It is also programmed for easy use with automatic transmissions and includes a SES (service engine soon) LED indicator embedded in the fuse box.
This 5.3L controller system is a true stand-alone system for use in older vehicles, as all that's needed to get a vehicle running with it are power and ground sources, a 58-psi (400 kPa) fuel pump and an electric cooling fan.
The kit includes:
This controller is engineered for the following engine
codes, which feature 58X ignition systems:
Chevrolet Performance LS 5.3L Engine Controller Kit
LS 5.3L Engine Control Kit
Chevrolet Performance LS 5.3L Engine Controller Kit
5.3L Engine Individual Controller Only
Chevrolet Performance LS 5.3L Engine Controller Kit

Does anyone know if there is a way to browse posts by filtering tags (or categories)?
For example:
Lets say I have a list of restaurants and each restaurant has several tags. i.e: (Italian, good_for_groups, no_reservation)
So, I would like to be able to check mark certain tags and filter my results. For example, I can checkmark Italian, no_reservation which will list all restaurants that contain these two tags. Makes sense?
