Cute birdie, fantastic design!
I love this birdhouse. It's gorgeous. Congratulations on the sale.
It is lovely! Is it a pin or a pendant?
Actually it is going to be a pendant, I'll put a small tube rivet at the top and use an antique brass chain. I'll add some small embellishments to the chain to give it a little more zip! Thank you all for your comments!
You might have to make #4, 5 and 6!!
This little bird abode speaks to me!!
OMG!! This is amazing! I want one!
Yeah, me too Janet! Aren't they great?! I think I gotta' have one!
See, I told you you might be making #4, 5, and 6. ……and maybe more!
If you want one let me know..since you are fellow crafter, I will give a discount to you! If you have a preference for copper or brass..any particular patina or color (use guilder's paste)…I will accomodate!
ooh! I am filled with admiration, and a pinch of envy. So nice!
This is the sweetest pendant ever! I absolutely love it and all your other creations as well. Can't wait to see #3 in the works. Just a fantastic job.
Absolutely lovely, very unique too!! I can understand why they are so popular
Very neat, love the little bird.

Guy's Hospital. This poster relates to the fundraising appeal for Guy's Hospital. It conforms to a standard design used for all the appeal's promotional material. Fundraising events included flag days, charity balls, fairs, bazaars, carnivals, ballroom dancing competitions, concerts, exhibitions and sporting events. The campaign also included London's first aerial, 'skywriting', adverts. The poster shows a colour image of the main courtyard of Guys Hospital and the title in red 'Guy's Hospital, SE1'. Part of the Hospitals of London Combined Appeal, which began in 1922. The appeal was designed to restore funds that had been exhausted during the war. London had 127 hospitals in the 1920s, all of which carried out their work with no public income beyond voluntary donations. This poster shows its original 18th century building in St Thomas Street, Southwark.

11[tr-m] Brownsville, Texas 1907
Expand Messages
- Jan 6, 2000Having now misplaced my exact reference, I've probably gotten the town
and date wrong, but the event was that TR dishonorably discharged an
entire black regiment because no one would come forward to take
responsibility for a public altercation.
TR received some negative comment at the time -- that this was a
"racist" act -- and the decision was reversed to an honorable discharge
by a military court some years later.
This event seems rather uncharacteristic of TR's rather "liberal"
Can anyone offer an insight into why this occurred?
Thank you and Happy New Century.

Police: Man swears at children, threatens people with shoe
52-year-old allegedly caused disturbance at laundromat Sunday afternoon
MADISON, Wis. - A Madison man was arrested for allegedly swearing at a group of children and threatening people inside a laundromat Sunday afternoon, police said.
Officers responded to the 4600 block of Verona Road for reports of a man causing a disturbance, according to a release.
A woman told police she was confronted by Joseph L. Kearney, 52, when she was holding the door open for a group of small children around 12:20 p.m., officials said. Kearney allegedly swore at the group of children and started using disparaging racial remarks.
About 15 people were using the laundromat when Kearney started to punch a wall, and then held a shoe above his head in a threatening manner, according to the release.
Police said this was at least the third recent incident reported involving Kearney acting the same way.
Kearney was arrested on a tentative disorderly conduct charge.Madison crime map

Guest Post by Diamond For a long time, understanding nutrition has seemed entirely "out of reach" to the lay person. To get good information one had to sift through endless, complex and sometimes conflicting data or visit one of the few doctors actually trained in nutrition. Yet this is finally starting to change. Thanks to technology and scientific advances, it is becoming much easier to enter and comprehend the world of nutrition. Additionally, the demand for experienced professionals has grown so much that we've seen a major growth in specialists—from nutritional coaches and personal trainers to registered dieticians—many of which are considerably more accessible thanks to the internet. There are also numerous reliable sources dotting the net either in the form of apps or reputable websites. Alongside these sources are some exceptionally cool gadgets to help even the playing field for the lay person. Useful Apps It shouldn't surprise you there are numerous nutrition-related apps available to be used as tools for both professionals and amateurs alike. As far as shared tools go, the most useful is likely the mobile food journal. MyFitnessPal, like its competitors, lets you make daily log entries to record what you eat, when you eat and how many calories you consume. They make calculations simpler by providing a premade database of several million foods for you to choose from. The value of these apps is twofold. You can track what you're eating no matter where you go, and you can share the information with health practitioners for feedback. For nutritionists and dieticians, getting accurate information from patients is actually surprisingly difficult with traditional...Learn More
Although I've seen many recipes using cauliflower as a substitution for grain, the recipe inspiration for cauliflower bread and crust came from www.theironyou.com . It was suggested that we try it at a cooking demo that I did with my JOtDT group. (Thanks to Debbie for coming up with the suggestion). The issue that I had with the recipe from ironyou is that I don't have a microwave to cook the cauliflower and it didn't look like I was going to be able to squeeze out much water as a result. So I sautéed it in a dry ceramic pan and added psyllium to the mix to absorb the extra water. It turned out beautifully. Yummy, filling and a great base for melted cheese (check out his photo at theironyou) and for eggs and spinach. I can imagine how wonderful it would be as the base for eggs benedict. 1 head cauliflower, leaves and brown spots trimmed off (makes 5 – 6 cups of riced cauliflower) 2 eggs, beaten 3 tb psyllium husks 1 1/2 tsp sea salt fresh ground pepper to taste (I use a lot) 1 tb extra virgin olive oil 2 tb finely chopped garlic 1/2 tsp cumin or other favourite herb(s) – (I suspect Mediterranean herbs would work well) Heat oven to 350°F. Rack should be in second slot from the bottom. Cut or break the cauliflower into small/medium sized flowerets. Using a food processor with a standard blade, rice the cauliflower in four batches. If you put too much into the processor at any given time, you will have some large un-riced pieces. You want it to look...Learn More
Full credit to Sarah Britton for her Life-Changing Load of Bread. It is a fantastic accomplishment to make a bread that looks and tastes amazing, and is filled with only healthy, natural, low- sugar impact foods. Read her blog first, get the low down on how to make it, see the photo, and then if you want to take the oats out, make it grain-free and paleo, try this version. My friend Elise, who introduced me to the bread has also done a cinnamon raisin version which she says (and I believe her) is amazing. I'll include her notes about that. 1 c sunflower seeds 1/4 c ground flax seed 1/4 c hemp seeds 1/2 hazelnuts (or another nut such as walnut or almond) 1 1/4 c almond flour 1/4 c coconut flakes (unsweetened) 2 tb chia seeds 5 tb psyllium 1 tsp sea salt 1 tb honey 3 tb coconut oil 1 1/2 c water Grease a loaf pan with coconut oil. Cut a strip of parchment that is the width of the bottom of the loaf pan (not wider cuz you don't want it to run up the sides) and long enough to come up the ends of the loaf pan. This is so that when you pull the bread out it has help to come out in one piece. Mix all of the dry ingredients in a large bowl. Melt the coconut oil and honey without letting it boil. Add that to the dry ingredients. Add the water. Spoon it into the loaf pan and flatten it out. Let sit at room temperature for a minimum of 2...Learn More
Cold weather calls for warming foods. Crock pots work well for having a large batch of ready-to-serve delicious and nutritious stews and soups. For more about crock pot cooking in general, check out this post from my friend and colleague, Darren Stehle from eatmovebe.com . This recipe is a take-off from this one at the Betty Crocker kitchens (wow – still around after all these years). I changed a few items and measurements, made it healthier by substituting the vegetable oil for coconut oil and using homemade stock. 4 cups vegetable or chicken/turkey stock (use chicken or turkey stock if you like a fattier consistency and flavour) 1 – 2 tb red curry paste (more if you like heat) 3 tb fish sauce 1/2 tsp. sea salt 1 tsp dried basil 1/4 c finely chopped ginger 4 cup carrots (sliced on the diagonal in approx 1″ chunks) 4 cup onion (2 large, chopped in large 1″ chunks) 10 medium garlic cloves, peeled 2 cup celery with leaves (sliced on the diagonal in approx 1″ chunks) 3 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs (or you can also use bone-in, skin-on for a more fatty flavour) Place the ingredients in a 5-6 quart crock pot in the order listed. Cook on high for 5 hours. 30 minutes before the stew is ready, stir-fry (preferably in a cast iron pan to get excellent browning of the mushrooms): 8 oz (3.5 cup) mushrooms, quartered in 1 tb coconut oil with a sprinkling of salt Saute the mushrooms on high until the water is cooked out of them and you get a brown colour. Add them to the stew...Learn More
This is a great shake to have within 30 minutes of an intense workout, whether it is power or cardio based. This is the time when the muscles are most ripe to recovery their stored sugar (glucose) supply and when protein can most easily be shuttled into the muscle tissue alone with the glucose. We keep fat low or non-existent so the digestion and uptake of the sugar and protein are not slowed down. 1 scoop Ergogenics Whey Isolate (or equivalent) – vanilla, chocolate or unflavoured 1 c. coconut water (great sport drink) – no sugar added. 4 large strawberries (frozen or fresh) ice cubes if the strawberries aren't frozen 1/2 medium banana 1 tsp L-Glutamine powder 37 g carbs, 37 g protein, 0 fat, 19 g sugar, 3 g fibre, 294 calories – (nutrient breakdown is based on the Ergogenics...Learn More
Why You Should Buy A Slow Cooker Guest Post by Darren Stehle Can I share something with you? My slow cooker is my favourite kitchen appliance next to my espresso machine! My partner bought me a slow cooker last Christmas and after using it a few times I wish I had of bought one 25 years ago! Let me ask you, do you like things that are easy? What about cooking that's, Made in one pot? Cooks without you have to be there? Easy to clean up? Cooks all by itself overnight or during the day — ready for dinner when you get home from work? All the above and healthy to boot? I know I sound like a used car salesman at this point, but I don't think I've ever been as excited or as pleased with a cooking appliance. Which is why I think you should rush out now and buy a slow cooker! I resisted buying a slow cooker for years. I didn't think I would use one because I went to chef school and know how to cook from scratch. In my experience working as a personal trainer and a cooking instructor, clients have told me things like: I don't know how to cook I hate cooking I don't know how to organize well in the kitchen Having a slow cooker solves so many of those challenges. All the ingredients go into the crock pot. You don't have to worry about making a perfect cut for presentation (unless you want to). You can serve your meal straight from the pot and/or put it away in...Learn More

The Yamaha FS1R is a sound synthesizer manufactured by the Yamaha Corporation from 1998 to 2000. Based on Formant synthesis, it also has FM synthesis capabilities similar to the DX range. Its editing involves 2,000+ parameters in any one 'performance', prompting the creation of a number of third party freeware programming applications. These applications fill the gap nicely, providing the tools needed to program the synth which were missing when it was in production by Yamaha. The synth was discontinued after 2 years, probably in part due to its complexity (particularly the formant sequencing), poor front-panel controls, brief manual and limited polyphony.
The FS1R synthesizer has an impressive set of new wave forms over the earlier DX line of FM synthesizers, which have since been incorporated into the new Montage line from Yamaha (with the exception of the Formant wave form). These wave forms include Sine, All1, All2, Odd1, Odd2, Res1, Res2, and Formant. The new wave forms are each constructed with a very LARGE number of inherent harmonics making FM synthesis far more efficient. Each one of these operator wave forms can replace an entire column of operators in a DX7 synthesizer algorithm.
Formants are mainly associated with modeling the human voice, but have other uses as well. Formants are present in all instruments that use a resonating body, like the violin, viola, cello, bass viol, bassoon, saxophone, English horn, clarinet, oboe, acoustic guitar, etc. The fixed body of the instrument acts like a set of fixed frequency band pass filters, which is what a formant is. The resonating body instrument was previously very difficult to model using the DX7 family of FM synthesizers. There was an obvious lack of accurate real instrument patches in the factory presets for these synths and in the user produced patch libraries. Modeling this type of instrument is child's play using the FS1R using the formant wave form. This capability is largely unknown due to the path synthesizer development had taken, the sample-based synthesizers had just gained favor, which bypassed the need for combining formant synthesis with FM.
Sample-based synthesizers though, have a downside the FS1R, older FM synths, and the new Montage line now fill. Sample-based synths limit the user to a set of preset instrument patches, the user can't create his own instrument from scratch to create a custom new sound. The FM style of synthesizer has this capability and is drawing a new set of users to the older technology. Some of the most popular VST's today are based on the DX7 synthesizer. The new FM-X synth engine in the Yamaha Montage is based on the FS1R, with its expanded capability. The desire for custom FM voices is also driving up the price for the FS1R, which now can cost almost as much as it did when it was new.
Formant sequencing[edit]
The FS1R uses the "formant sequence", this being a series (128 or 512) of "frames" that define the level and frequency of each of up to 8 'voiced' (pitched) and 8 'unvoiced' (un-pitched) formant generators over time. The number of frames limits the typical length of a sequence to a few seconds, though this length and pitch can be varied in real-time with few or no artefacts. Applying a formant sequence to a sound allows a complex, evolving sound to be programmed in a relatively short time. 90 formant sequences were supplied with the FS1R.
Problems and shortcomings[edit]
A 4-part synth with 32 voices was viewed as inadequate by 1998's standards although the FS1R was designed not as an all-in-one workstation for producing entire songs but as a way to add original, complex tones that could not be produced by other synthesis methods.
Software developed by Yamaha to convert samples to formant sequences was well known but not released for general use. Eventually, a programmer (Wouter van Nifterick, see FS1R utilities below) produced a freeware alternative and users could finally access all the unit's power, a number of years after its initial release. Rumours abounded of a 'FS2R' successor, with a USB port to connect to a Windows PC/Macintosh equipped with suitable editing software, but no such machine was forthcoming.
