My sick little angel...
We have a sickie in our household
My poor girl is down with flu and fever..
She looked alright yesterday tho
no fever except a little runny nose..
Whole day today she wasnt as playful as always
Crying and shouting.. she doesnt want to take her medication either :o(
Had to force it into her mouth... i hate doing that!
Thank goodness she has appetite to eat.. thats a big plus point to me!
I hope tomorrow shes gonna get better..
She should be clear of flu by the end of the week... i think
Ohhh nooo..
That's 6 days of no baking for me! (possible??) hehe
I managed to bake bread during her 3hrs afternoon nap.. Sonia loves bread!!

Marble Baked Cheese Tart
I realised that during Ramadhan i usually dont get to sleep alot? its like i wake up at half past 4 in the morning and dont go to bed till after midnight.. sometimes i end up sleeping at 2am and wake up again at 4am to prepare for "sahur".. geesshhh.. if i keep on doing that.. come Shawal.. i would hv panda eyes hahaha
Anyway today i didnt have to prepare lots for Iftar.. had cooked mee bakso and baked cheese tart for desert.. we had to go to Mustaffa Center to get Hairi stuff too.. stuff that he needs to take along when he goes to National Service.. we ended up paying quite a bit and that included a new cell phone (no camera!) and a pair of sneakers for him..
Sweet Pastry
150g butter (i used unsalted and added 1/2 tsp of salt)
70g icing sugar
1 egg
260g plain flour
1tbsp milk powder
250g cream cheese
60g sugar
1 egg
50g whipping cream
1 tbsp milk
15g melted chocolate
Zest of 1 lemon (i added)
Sweet Pastry
1. Mix butter and icing sugar till well combined
2. Add in egg and cream until smooth.
3. Add sieved plain flour and milk powder till well blended
4. Keep refrigerated for 30 mins to let it firm. Remove and roll between 2 plastic sheets to 3mm thickness.. line onto the tart mould
(what i did was to refrigerate it for an hour..that way its easy for me to work my dough.. roll out dough on a well flour surface.. once done i wrap the dough around pin roller and quickly transfer dough onto tart mould and unrolled back my dough)
5. Press sweet pastry onto tart mould. Prick some holes on the pastry shell and bake at 190C for 15mins or until light golden brown. Leave to cool
1. Cream sugar and cream cheese till light and smooth. Add in egg and cream until well blended
2. Add whipping cream and mix till combined
3. Take out 60g of the cheese mixture and mix with milk and melted chocolate
4. Deposit the cheese fillings onto the baked pastry shells. Place some chocolate cheese fillings on it and make swirls with it
5. Bake at 200C for 10-12mins
Note: Usually i will double sweet pastry recipe.. dough can be kept in freezer for quite a while.. for today i baked em and keep it in air tight container for later use..

I kept on telling myself
that I would lose
some of the pregnancy weight I had with my 2nd.
Good news, I didnt gain any more weight
for about 1 1/2 year and now i'm slowly loosing it..
Bad news...I need to lose 10kg more.
Will be happy with
just err 5kg..
If i dont.. i will start to look like a baboon
Not a very cute one at that.
I want to look HOT.
not like a MILF..although I wont mind it,
if I ever did become one.
But at least,
look good and healthy.
Anyhow lets not ponder abt that
It's nice and cool here, totally hoodie weather.

Monkey Girl
That's what I called my 17 months old.
She is a handful.
I dont remember my son
being as mischievious and playful
not to mention being as active and curious
as Sonia is right now.
My older boy is pretty mild.
I didnt even need to childproof
my cabinets when Hairi was a baby
because he didnt get into it at all.
He's just as happy sitting
in his playpen and playing quietly.
No complaints.
With my youngest,
however, I couldnt even put her
in her crib for 10 mins,
before she tries to climb out of it.
Sonia learned to climb
before she could even walk.
She was crawling one day and
the next thing I know,
she was going up the stairs.
went the safety gate.
No more climbing up the stairs for her.
The minute she learned to stand,
she tried to climb onto the couch.
When she started to walk she used her ikea stool,
to climb onto tables and chairs.
Oh yeah.
She'll be pushing just abt anything
across the living room to my dining room,
climb up onto my dining chair
(she stopped doing it now that we pushed all chairs close to the table)
No more climbing for her.
Or so,
we thought.
We have a safety gate for the stairs,
so that she couldnt get into it.
she learned other ways
to climb upstairs.
She wud keep a close watch to whoever
might hv forgotten to close the gate
and before u knew it.. shes already sitting on
the staircase... smiling..
There is another big problem going on
She would always go to the kitchen whenever there is someone
Before i knew it..
she wud "repack" all my baking tray in my pantry
I'm out of ideas to keep her safe.
Oh yeah.
She has fallen several times on her bum.
But that doesnt stop her.
All I could hope for is the best,
and try to keep dangerous and sharp items
off the tables and counters.
Because there is no stopping to this girl.
Thank goodness there is still
lamps on our side tables
(we hv to keep a close watch all the time)
Nothing on our dining table.
No plates,
no table runner.
I just hope she doesnt
learn to push
the tables next..
err wait!
I remember she pushed a side table with glass top
when we were in Brisbane
and the worst thing happened..
the table fell on the floor and broke
the glass top into thousand pieces..
yikes u dont want to know how my heart just
literally stopped!
BUT no matter what ..
shes our little angel..
shes a fast learner and shes smart
she will do simple task if u ask her to..
she can say a few words now
and talking/babbling non stop!
she loves watching telly especially playhouse disney
and best of all..
she loves to gv us kisses.. lots and lots of kisses :o)

Pretty Rainbow Jelly
Our desert for today's iftar.. Rainbow jelly.. honestly? this is one of "must have" whenever we hv bbq or family gathering at our place.. i also did it for mom's center table desert during Eid last year.. was a big hit simply cos its refreshing to eat besides ur typical cookies and cakes!
Its fairly simple to prepare.. all u need to remember is to make sure ur layer is properly set bef pouring next layer.. and for today, I used 1/2 recipe...
20 gm instant jelly
340 gm sugar
1725 ml water
6-8 pandan leaves
20 gm instant jelly
340 gm sugar
1725 ml coconut milk (use 1 litre KARA + 725ml water)
1 tsp salt
Baking tin..(9x9x3")(I used silicon type and heart shape pan)
Purple, yellow, red, green (whatever colour u prefer)
Cook A and B seperately till boil
Use 230ml for each layer of coconut and colour jelly mixture
Pour layer by layer .. coconut mixture first follow by the colour of ur choice jelly mixture.. (remember to make sure ur jelly is set before pouring another layer)
Once done.. let it cool and refridgerate for abt 2hrs
Note: Make sure A and B mixture is always on low fire as it will prevent jelly fm setting while layering jelly..

Soooo, I have a confession.
I'm OCD when it comes to cooking.
A bit...
Well, a lot actually!
I have a routine going on.
And I'll go NUTS if this is not done.
First, I HAVE to clean the kitchen before I cook.
That includes wiping the counters and putting everything in place.
And oh, I make sure I hv a clean washing sink too
You ask why
when I'm gonna dirty the kitchen
again when I cook.
Don't ask...I just can't cook in
a dirty, unorganised kitchen.
Everything has to be clean and in place.
When everything is clean, the cooking starts.
However, when I cook, I like to be neat
and clean too.
That means, no accidental spills,
crumbs on the floor...
all this stuff will drive me CRAZY.
I'll have two kitchen towels on my counter
and IF...big IF
coz I'm anal about spilling stuff,
If I do spill something, I have to wipe and clean it
Yeah... OCD.... Anal.
When I stir, everything stays in the bowl.
When I scoop, I make sure I dont spill anything out.
When I cut and chop,
nothing falls on the floor.
That's why my hb doesnt help me to cook,
even tho he can cook
Its just that I can't stand the messiness
he creates.
He wud always remind me fm time to time that
It's OK not to vacumn and mop the floor every single day
Err how to?? its like not taking shower twice a day!
I know... I know..
I'm anal... BUT not as bad as
to separate things out into colors before I eat them
(and then eat them by colors)
like M&M, Skittles, etc...

Marshmallow Cream Filled Chocolate Cupcakes
This is simply divine.
Delicious... so said my dear hb
I'm loving the Martha Stewart Cupcake book.
If you haven't bought it,
you should.
This is the second recipe I tried
from the book
and I made it with success.
Hairi and I love it without the filling
Sonia ate the whole cupcake herself - was a mess!
hb ate them,
not only with the filling,
but with marshmallow
creme dollop on the side.
Disgusting, I know cos i am not into anything marshmallow
But they are so good..
You just want to dip the whole thing
in creme!
Anyway... Martha made it into 12 jumbo cupcakes. I got 24 out of the batter. Have fun trying...This is delish..I swear!
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature, plus more for muffin tins
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, plus more for muffin tins
2 cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups sugar
3 large eggs, room temperature
1 cup sour cream, room temperature
1 1/2 cups marshmallow creme (7.5-ounce jar)
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
1. Preheat oven to 180C. Butter two 6-cup (each with a 1-cup capacity) jumbo muffin pans; dust with cocoa powder to coat, tapping out excess. In a medium bowl, whisk together cocoa, flour, baking powder, soda, and salt.
2. Using an electric mixer, beat butter and sugar until light. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. On low speed, add half the flour mixture, followed by sour cream, ending with remaining flour mixture; mix just until incorporated (do not overmix).
3. Divide batter among prepared muffin cups. Bake until a toothpick inserted in center of a cupcake comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes, rotating pans halfway through baking. Cool in pans, 5 minutes; remove cupcakes and cool, right side up, on a wire rack.
4. Meanwhile, prepare filling: In a medium bowl, whisk marshmallow creme and butter until smooth. Chill until slightly firm, 15 to 30 minutes. Transfer mixture to a heavy-duty resealable plastic bag, and seal; cut off one corner of the bag to make a 1/8-inch opening.
5. Using a small melon baller, scoop out center of each cupcake from the bottom, and reserve (you will use this to plug cupcake after filling). Hollow out each cupcake a bit more, discarding crumbs. Insert tip of plastic bag into each cavity, and squeeze to fill; replace plugs. Using remaining filling in plastic bag, decorate top of cupcakes. (i scoop out fm the top and fill marshmallow filling)
Note: Pic abv is the marshmallow cream that i used.. and since its ramadhan i usually wud baked at night and what happened when i baked at night?? my foodies pic turned dark hahha.. err hb.. how abt getting me Canon EOS for my bday cum christmas present?? wink wink

It's not really 41mp. I read it uses an algorithm to take every pixel and basically turn the picture into a really good 5mp photo lol
So how much storage does it have for those 15mb+ pictures?
This just reminds me of the Spishak Mach 20 razor. Useless and ridiculous.
This is an excellent phone. Probably many cannot see what it is offering. When we see the qulity of the photos taken by a 1020, we can't stop ourselves from admiring it. Check out this photo and if any other phone can get this quality:
41mp might be overkill for a sensor in this class, but I won't venture as far as saying that this will only kill space.
That being said, I'm interested to see some photos taken with the 1020 at the hands of photographers that know what they're doing. Nokia's taking a step in the right direction I think!
As a professional photographer yes I can say that 41 is completely overkill but the larger sensor will be a major factor and the fact they've also added the ability to control ISO, white balance and other things manually means this could be a major player for someone looking to get great shots from their phone. However Nokias downfall in the past has always been one major factor and that is that they always have terrible glass in the lenses which is why back in their symbian days when the iPhone first dropped the pictures were so much better at 2mp than the 5mp shots on the Nokia. You used to get that clouding over because the lens was the bottleneck in the process. If they rectify this for the 1020 it could really change things as we know it and hopefully Apple will follow suit. I love shooting with my DSLR but sometimes it's not possible or functional to take 5-6 pounds of camera with me everywhere I go.

SCHMIDTYS, I'm not trying to slurp your balls, this is a serious question...
I don't begin to know how to test a coil, but how does a shop let that bike out the door with so many problems that you're able to find so competently? Seriously, I'm not buttering your muffin, I just don't understand HOW MUCH more competent you are than a shop full of certified HD mechanics?
I'm not trying to insult those other guys either. I'm trying to understand how their hands are up in the air and you find four problems, three of which should be pretty easy to catch? Right?
Anyway, this señor is for you, SCHMIDTYS.
Well... One thing is that I have the luxury of TIME on my side ! If you'll notice I've had the bike for 6 days, the shops can't get away with that. The shops have to move the metal and can't tie mechanics up for days at a time. I'm not making excuses for the shops, just saying.
Final say comes from the service desk.
I guess that City Limit Harley in Palatine, IL will get their payback one day. I know for sure that I am not going to stop writing negative reviews for this shop. Even the GM kept telling me that my bike is good and it is me that don't know what I am talking about (just in a nice typical sales guy way).
I love a story with a happy ending! Glad this worked out

Kyrillos Praises Christie's Focus on Sandy Rebuilding in Budget Message
Please Share:
Senator Joe Kyrillos (R- Monmouth) issued the following statement in response to Governor Christie's FY 2014 budget address:
Sandy is not the only challenge New Jersey faces this year, but it is our state's most important. Rebuilding is vital to our state's long-term economic health and prosperity, and to the quality of life and financial stability of those who lost so much in the storm.
I applaud Governor Christie's focus on recovery in today's budget message. If a budget is a statement of our government's priorities, this budget and the speech in which it was presented show that rebuilding stronger and smarter than before is priority number one for New Jersey.

I've been doing CG since mid October, and I just bought some KCKT. Every time I have used it my hair is nasty. floppy and gross, just flat and almost...I guess maybe over-conditioned?
Am I the only one? like, everyone I've read about loves it? What could be the thing making my hair hate it? Does anyone else find it too heavy? I dont know, it's so weird. I love the KCCC!!
Argh. $12 down the drain.angry9:
There's nothing worse than money down the drain, is there? I love it and for me it feels very light-but then I don't use much. Maybe a quarter size for my whole head of hair. And when I use my SM smoothie as a base styler I skip the knot today usually.
Actually if I keep falling in love with my smoothie I may not need the knot today anymore. But I'll still love it. . .
I actually love this product..It took time for me to get use to and for my hair to get use to but the results are Wonderful! I have 3c/4a hair btw. I use it in my hair after I wash it which would be every week and I got the product about a month ago.
I have a difficult time using the KCCC; Any tips/suggestions?
I'm surprised you find it too heavy. My hair is easily weighed down and I find KCKT the perfect weight. I don't really need it as a detangler because my hair can be detangled easily with most conditioners but I like it as a leave-in because it's so light and doesn't make my hair heavy and greasy like so many leavin-ins with oils and butters tend to do.
I'd suggest using a much smaller amount and see if that helps?
I actually love the product. At first i wasnt too excited about it but now its one of my staples
Sent from my SCH-R530M using CurlTalk App
I love it too, it makes my curls so soft and bouncy.
Love it! Awesome for my fine, thinish 3b curls! Didn't know how to use it at first, but kept coming back to it, hoping for its elusive fab results...now, it's my HG leave in:) I have yet to find a LI that is so simple, yet sooo effective. All other "non-water based" leave ins pale in comparison, (they tend to be aloe based instead and my hair hates aloe left in:( ), so I must say I'm in love with it!!!
On the other hand, some low porosity curlies haven't had such great luck with kckt, but better luck with aloe or water based leave ins...hope this helps!

I tend to like products with moisturizing oils and butters like shea butter, KCKT doesn't have this stuff, but I still love it! :) It works really well for me, it's light, helps styling, smells fantastic, and my hair just seems to love the stuff. Also love the fact that is is humectant free.
Maybe you could use a smaller amount of KCKT :)
^^^oooh, yeah, I almost forgot! Humectant/glycerin free!!! I'm gonna use this tomorrow! Kinda excited!

Looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooove
It's the only thing that gets my knots out.
^ooooooh yes! BEST DETANGLER I EVER TRIED!!!!!!!!! :D
Not moisturizing enough for my hair. May be a porosity thing?? My hair never tangles unless I use an ingredient it doesn't like.
It was one of the first things I got after discovering this site and I still use it almost daily! It's light enough that my hair doesn't get weighed down but provides a nice base layer for products.
It doesn't seem to be working well for me, and I'm trying to identify what the problem is. When I use it, my hair is very weighed down, and I only use a tiny bit (and then rinse most of that out). I'm low porosity, so that could be an issue, or maybe there's a problem ingredient. I'm also still fairly new at all of this, so maybe I'm doing something wrong? Could others say how much you use and how you apply it?
I like it too but it doesn't play nice with CIAB so I don't use it any more. I hated the KCCC I bought it with though.
Hmm, I have the WORST time with tangles, but the KCKT helped the tangles when I used it. However I did use it with my SM smoothie, and maybe (judging from responses) they do not play well. Hmmm. I think I also maybe used too much.
So I have KCCC and SM SMoothie, so maybe I'll try the KCKT with just the KCCC today and see what happens.
Does anyone know how long home made FSG lasts with just the gel, no preservatives? in the fridge? I thought at first maybe mine was bad, I think its 2-3 weeks old. I left it out Sat and Sun and the hair was still bad. angry9:
Nothing works for everyone, no matter what anyone might tell you. It may need tweaking, or it just might not be a good fit.
I use about 1/4 to 1/3 bottle at a time, but I'm coarse and porous. I never get weighed down.

Fantastic work mate!! Looks killer!!
Fantastic work mate!! Looks killer!!
Cheers Joe. Just got the 'spine' added and got the end caps sorted. Piano keys next and the main body will be ready for the next stage!?
looks great bobby,alot cleaner than mine........ how are you getting the joints so smooth??do you have the rocket thrusters done yet??
Man, I hope mine looks even 1/10th that good...
You frickin rule, buddy!
I will get some new photos up later :jet pack.
The bottom of the thrusters are made, working on sculpting the ball sections next.
RD, you can do it buddy. Take your time cutting out your sections, it goes together so don't rush it. Check out Jango 72's build also, it inspired me
Thanks for the comments guys, good to know people are looking.
Ok, a few (poor quality) shots. The pack has had a quick sand since the first coat of primer and some areas identified as requiring renforcement to make sure it will not sag or loose shape if it is to be molded.
Here are a shot of the end caps too.
:jet pack Bobby.
looking good Rob...
Beautiful! Every good rocket pack build I see makes me want to build one! You're is shaping up really well bro.
Wow, this is awesome! I love the turned rocket, great idea!
Nice progress on you JP, see you been busy.
Hi guys, looking for some preferences here. I plan on casting a JP missile but want to keep the weight right down. At this stage I am thinking slush cast with maybe expanding foam to give it extra support, I want to avoid a solid resin missile at all costs. Anyone think of a better idea?
Also I have a real problem I can't start a new thread or send pm's all the text is lost? Any one got any idea.....ohh can't use the smilies either? Any help would be good here? I could and my coputer has not changed? Totally clueless.
Hi all. not updated this for too long I have been short on time and stretched with other projects, but making real headway with them now so thought I would up date for anyone still reading
First, photos.....
Still some rough patches but you get the idea, and yeah, so proud I put my name on it Working on the door closure and final fitting at the moment.
The missile is pretty much unchanged for now, but the missile housing detail is to be redone (more accurately).
The main chassis will be ready for the molding process very soon and the materials are ordered The missile is to get a little touch up with a new knurled section (which will have more detail) and the main thrusters are being manufactured very soon by a precision engineering firm I have used through work before. I have decided to cast the top of the missile housing separately (I think it will be easier that way). I have also ordered most of the 'found part' greeblies to cast or supply original parts. I also have another meeting with my machine shop tomorrow to get an idea on what is involved in getting the metal frame off the ground for the harness
So all go at the moment. Starting to take shape as a project now, and thanks for the patience of all you guys that have shown interest, this will be happening within the next few weeks
Nice work Rob. Like how you put your name on it!
Dude this is good stuff cant wait till I start my own jet pack.
Think you'd be up for making copies of it??
This pack is AWESOME!
Absolutely!!! I love it, very clean looking. I also like the way you put your name on it.
Looking good there Rob, that's where you been hiding lol
Well hello there Jedi-si...
Rob.. have not been able to view your last update till now! Nice! love the hatch cover detail...
Hi Mojo,
yep agree lovin' the hatch

Houston officer cleared in traffic stop shooting
Grand jury declines to indict officer
The Associated Press
HOUSTON — A grand jury on Thursday declined to indict a Houston police officer who had been accused of fatally shooting a man witnesses claimed was handcuffed at the time.
Police say McIntosh, 23, who was a passenger in the car and fled the scene, was shot after fighting with Smith, breaking his thumb and shooting him with his police Taser. McIntosh, on probation for robbery, had cocaine, PCP and marijuana on him during the traffic stop, police said.
Three witnesses claimed McIntosh was handcuffed before he was shot, buHopust two later recanted their statements, police said.
A total of 13 other witnesses confirmed all or parts of Smith's account of the incident, police said.
"The death of Mr. McIntosh is unfortunate, but the facts are that he violently resisted arrest," Houston police said in a statement.

ORLANDO — From the start, Clearwater's Nick Alexiou moved through the water with steadiness and sureness in the Class 3A finals of the 200-yard freestyle race. By the final turn, the rest of the field had fallen back, leaving Alexiou to swim against himself and the clock.
After it was over, Alexiou checked the giant scoreboard to see his name and his time. He finished first with ease. But his time was 1 minute, 36.27 seconds, 0.46 seconds off the state record of 1:35.81 set by Clay Kirkland of Jacksonville Bolles in 2000.
Alexiou finally won what had been an elusive gold medal. Last year, he led the 200 free through most of the race, but was out-touched at the wall and finished second. This time, he left no doubt he would be the champion in a dominating performance. But his quest was only half-realized because he missed the state record.
"It is a relief to win," Alexiou said. "I was able to take 9/10th of a second off my personal best. But it was a little bittersweet because I really wanted to go after the record."
Alexiou came back to win the 500 free in 4:24.30. He was the only county athlete to win multiple state titles in individual events.
"I had a big lead in the 500 free, but I was starting to lose it at the end," Alexiou said. "Still, I dropped a full second off my personal best.
Overall, I've got to be happy. Coming home with two gold medals was very nice."
Alexiou, a senior, stole the show in a meet that was supposed to be dominated by freshmen. East Lake's Sydney Pickrem was trying to become the first county girls swimmer win to multiple state titles as a freshman. She came close, winning the 100 breast in 1:02.91 and finishing second in the 200 IM in 2:00.55.
Pickrem had the top seeded times in both events heading in. In the 200 IM she fell behind at the start to Sarasota Riverview's Ashlee Linn and was never able to catch up. In the 100 breast, she built a commanding lead and finished a second off the state record.
"I was hoping to be faster in the 100 breast," Pickrem said. "Everybody was telling me to go for the record. In the 200 IM, I just ran into some really great competition."
Northeast's Georgi Krastev was the county's other state champ. In the 100 back, Krastev whirled his arms 360 degrees, churning ahead in a tightly contested race to win in 50.82.
It was a marked improvement for Krastev, who was eighth in the event last year. Krastev also was seventh in the 100 fly (51.95).
"I looked around to see where I had placed after I won," Krastev said. "I was so excited to see I had won. This was my goal and I just went after it."
Seminole's Zack Metka was the runnerup in the 200 IM (1:50.54) and third in the 100 breast (56.96).
Countryside's 200 free relay of Richard Willsey, Ryan Peters, Tommy Kelly and Gary Lush took fourth in 1:26.35. And the Cougars' 400 free relay of Willsey, Michael Lombardo, Peters and Gary Lush was third in 3:09.99.
Countryside's Lauren Hall was third in the 50 free (23.88) and fourth in the 100 free (51.06). In the 500 free, the Cougars' Summer Finke, a freshman, was fourth in 4:52.75. Sister Autumn, a junior, was fifth in the same event in 5:00.24.
East Lake's Alexi Gonzalez was third in diving with 432.90 points. Northeast's A.J. Jones was fourth in the 200 IM (2:04.69). St. Petersburg's Jessica Piper took third in the 100 back (56.72) and fifth in the 200 IM (2:05.07).
Wiregrass Ranch's Athena Cimino was Pasco County's only place winner, taking seventh in the 50 free in 24.46.

Hobart went the length of the floor in 3.1 seconds and senior Matt Pebole's layup beat the buzzer to lift the Statesmen to a 71-70 victory over the College at Brockport in the semifinals of the Wendy's College Classic at RIT tonight. The Statesmen remained unbeaten, improving to 5-0 for the first time since 1954-55, while the Golden Eagles fall to 1-4.
Pebole gave Hobart a 69-68 with a 3-pointer with just 33 seconds left in the contest. Gerald Williams put Brockport back in front on a jumper with 3.1 seconds remaining in the contest forcing the Statesmen to burn their final timeout.
Hobart Head Coach Mike Neer drew up the perfect play and the Statesmen executed even better. Sophomore Joe Gibbons inbounded the ball with a long pass across midcourt to classmate Richie Bonney who found Pebole. He took one dribble and elevated to the basket to complete his 17-point performance. He also had six rebounds, all three of Hobart's steals and two blocked shots.
Junior Stefan Thompson led the Statesmen with game-highs of 21 points and six assists. Bonney added his first double-double of the season on 11 points and a game-high 11 rebounds.
Williams had 19 points, nine boards, and four assists to pace Brockport. Lance Legister and Green finished with 18 and 13 points, respectively.
The Golden Eagles outshot the Statesmen .444-.429, made more free throws than Hobart attempted (15-12), and committed fewer turnovers (9-11). The Statesmen controlled the paint 32-22, controlled the boards 38-30, and held an 18-8 advantage in second chance points.
Hobart took control of a back and forth first half with eight unanswered points in the final three minutes, carrying a 36-26 lead into halftime.
Brockport whittled away at the Statesmen lead throughout the second half, tying the game at 60 with just under four minutes to go. Setting the stage for the dramatic finish.
The win made Neer just the second Hobart coach to win his first five games with the Statesmen, tying the record established by Dr. George Sweetland '97, who won all four games in 1914-15 and won the 1915-16 season opener.
Hobart will play for the Wendy's championship for the first time since 1988-89. The Statesmen will face the winner of the second semifinal between Nazareth and Rochester. The title tilt is scheduled for 8 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 3 at RIT.

fireproof concrete/patching material for woodstoves?
ok, here's one for you fireplace/woodstove guys. i have a real old woodstove that has the inner fireproof cement liner deteriorating. is there a mixable powder product i can use to refill the gaps?
Yes there is and Lowes use to carry it. I believe it is called firecrete. But I am not sure.
Furnace cement, most well equiped hardware stores will have it.
Years ago I had a Jotul Model Number 1 with a cement liner that had broken off near the door. It was a 3" by 8" piece. I used furnace cement to re-glue. It worked well and never came lose, but I did not use the stove extensively so cannot be sure how well it held up. I sold the stove 2 years ago.
I am not sure you can use the cement to seal cracks. Unless you are sure you have the right product, it might be worth a trip to a wood stove outlet store. You will pay more, but can be sure you'll get the right product.
Wood stoves are great, but not worth burning down your house. I'll never forget Christmas Day '05 watching helplessly as the first spreads across my neighbors roof. Cause, yep - a wood stove. Waiting for our awesome volunteer fire department to arrive was the longest 10 minutes.
you are right there dac, i ended up buying a 1/2 gallon tub of 'refractory cement' for repairing firebrick. this is what i believe i needed, the furnace cement says for brick to metal or metal to metal, so i wasn't sure if it would do what i needed. just a follow up so you guys know what i ended up with. though this stuff says i need to apply no more than 1/8" at a time, we don't NEED the woodstove yet, so i can layer it till flat. cool! thanks for your responses and helping steer me in the right direction.
not trying to dredge up bad memories, but I too love the wood stove, and if there's a specific thing here to drill into our heads about this, it could save another family from the same fate...
The report I got from another neighbor was a pin hole in the double wall lined pipe where it passed through the roof. Obviously not related to this situation, but just wanted to impart how careful one should be with repairs. We always think wood stove fires happen to the other guy.
I might suggest to the OP to check your work after firing the stove the first time.
a pin hole in the pipe - wow - thanks for the add'l info...
no problems here as the work is inside the woodstove. just cracks and wear and tear on the liner is all. first coating all done and it seems to be fine. no work on the chimney/flue except the cleaning yesterday. =o)

By COLTER NUANEZ
Bobcat Beat
The speculation is over. Tanner Roderick is coming home.
One of the most electrifying prep stars in the history of Treasure State confirmed to Bobcat Beat on Sunday evening that he is the newest Montana State Bobcat.
The Bozeman native has spent the last two seasons at the University of Nevada-Reno. The 6-foot-2, 200-pounder quarterback will have three years of eligibility remaining and will be eligible right away.
Roderick is enrolled at MSU and will start classes and winter workouts on Wednesday. He majored in business administration at Nevada and will continue to pursue the degree at MSU.
"The determining factor is the program is going in the right direction," said Roderick, who will play wide receiver his first season in Bozeman. "I wanted to play with a great team and be a part of something and help out wherever I could."
Roderick joins a Bobcat roster with four scholarship quarterbacks and five active signal callers on the roster. DeNarius McGhee will enter his senior season after guiding the Bobcat helm the last three seasons. The senior-to-be is MSU's all-time leader in quarterback wins (30) and touchdowns (71). Redshirt freshman Jake Bleskin was McGhee's backup in 2012. Freshman Dakota Prukop, an Austin, Texas native, redshirted last season, as did Columbia Falls product Austin Barth. Mitch Greibel, a former walk-on at Air Force, had similar status in Bozeman last fall.
Ever the competitor, he said he wants to get on the field as soon as possible, even if it's not under center.
"They have DeNarius and he is a great, great quarterback," Roderick said. "I will get to play receiver for a year, help out there, learn the offense as well as I can and then the following year, hopefully get to play quarterback."
Roderick set the Montana prep scene on fire as a senior at Bozeman High School in 2010-11. He was the state Gatorade Player of the Year in football and basketball, marking just the third time a Montana athlete claimed the prestigious award in two sports. Former Bozeman High standouts Shane Collins (football, basketball, 1986-87) and Kirsten Tilleman (soccer, basketball (2006-07) captured multiple awards.
In football, Roderick led Bozeman to its first state title since 1917 and just the second in school history. He led Class AA in passing and rushing, throwing for 2,457 yards and 28 touchdowns and rushing for 1,913 yards and 23 touchdowns. Both were school records. Roderick rushed for 185 yards and a touchdown in Bozeman's 28-7 win in the 2010 Class AA state title game to cap a 13-0 season.
In basketball, Roderick was equally as dominant. He led the Hawks to a 22-1 record, capped by a 26-point effort in Bozeman's 61-53 state championship game victory over Billings West. Roderick averaged 19 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 2.5 steals as a senior.
Roderick was one of six quarterbacks on the Wolfpack roster last fall. As a sophomore, Cody Fajardo completed 67 percent of his passes for 2,786 yards and 20 touchdowns and rushed for 1,121 yards and 12 more touchdowns in earning All-Mountain West honors. The 2011 Mountain West Newcomer of the Year will enter his third season as a starter in 2013. Sophomore Devin Combs (6-2, 215) played in five games last season. Tyler Stewart (6-4, 215), Jacob Hollister (6-3, 215) and Hasaan Henderson (6-5, 215) were all true freshmen in 2012 for Nevada.
Roderick never took a snap as a member of the Wolfpack.
Roderick initially chose Nevada over Montana State, Montana and Washington State because of head coach Chris Ault's famed pistol offense, an attack Roderick became familiar with in high school. After 36 seasons and 223 wins as the head coach in Reno, Ault retired late last month.
"Nevada is a great school and a great program," Roderick said. "The quarterback in front of me is a great quarterback and I wanted to see the field as soon as I could. I thought the best decision for me was to leave and go somewhere else."
Roderick was heavily recruited by Montana State, Montana and Washington State before Nevada came in late.
When he was granted his release from Nevada, both the Cats and the Griz pulled heavily. He was in Missoula earlier this week visiting with UM head coach Mick Delaney. But the upward momentum of a Bobcat program that's made the FCS quarterfinals the last two seasons was too much to pass up.
"Montana is a great program and I was interested there, but being around my family and getting a chance to play for the Bobcats like my dad was too much to pass up," said Roderick, whose dad Steve played for MSU in the late 1970s and early 1980s. "He wasn't pressuring me at all. He wanted me to make the right decision for me and go where I wanted to go. My parents have always been very supportive and have always helped steered me in the right direction.
Now he will return home to a Montana State squad that has won 30 games and captured shares of three straight Big Sky Conference championships. The 20-year-old knows the spotlight will shine brightly upon him, but his competitive nature helps him welcome the challenge.
"I don't really think of it as pressure, more that it should be really fun," Roderick said. "Coming back to where I was raised, where I went to high school and try to keep being a great competitor should be fun."
Roderick was being pulled in multiple directions and his return to Montana has been a topic of much conversation this holiday season. A chance to be close to his family and friends — former Hawks Heath Hunter and Manny Kalfell are Bobcats — combined with the chance to play for a top-tier FCS program was too much to pass up.
"Being around my family and being able to be around the people that have loved and supported me growing up was probably the biggest factor," Roderick said.

Screening and identification of dehydration in older people admitted to a geriatric and rehabilitation unit
Vivanti, Angela Patricia (2007) Screening and identification of dehydration in older people admitted to a geriatric and rehabilitation unit. Professional Doctorate thesis, Queensland University of Technology.
|Angela Vivanti Thesis (PDF 1MB)
The diagnosis of dehydration in the older person admitted to hospital has been associated with increased morbidity and mortality. In spite of the high US hospital mortality and morbidity rates associated with dehydration (although presumably not the only contributing factor), no standardised or validated approach to assess or easily screen for dehydration in the hospital setting is reported in the international literature. Therefore, a series of studies was undertaken to assess the extent of this, and to identify other gaps in the current literature. The first study estimated the dehydration prevalence amongst older people upon admission to geriatric and rehabilitation unit in the Australian setting to estimate the morbidity burden in the Australian context. The second study assessed the application of dilution and bio-electrical impedance (BIA) techniques as alternative means to assess dehydration in the clinical setting. The third study undertook to validate against total body water the parameters required to confirm dehydration and to identify those that contribute little to discrimination. The final study integrated the information from the first two studies to identify a clinically practical, sensitive and specific screen suitable for the identification of those at risk of dehydration in a geriatric and rehabilitation unit. Older people aged 60 years or over admitted to the Geriatric and Rehabilitation Unit (GARU) of a tertiary teaching hospital in Brisbane. Australia, were eligible for participation in the study. Individuals were excluded if: involuntarily admitted, informed consent was not obtained, younger than 60 years or fitted with a pacemaker (due to contraindication with the use of BIA). Of 82 GARU participants approached, 43 fulfilled the inclusion criteria and consented, 21 declined and 18 were ineligible. Thirty-five (35) of the 43 were able to be involved in the assessment of prevalence. The studies in this thesis provide original insights into dehydration including prevalence, body water contents, useful clinical assessment and screening parameters. Results showed that dehydration prevalence amongst older people is substantially underreported in the Australian geriatric and rehabilitation unit setting (17.1%) when compared to the reported through coding from the medical record (5.3%). The presence of dehydration has frequently been measured in healthy populations by assessing total body water loss through short-term weight change. Gold standard dilution and bio-electrical impedance techniques were used to assess body water as the assessment of dehydration by weight change has practical and ethical limitations in the clinical setting for either research or assessment applications. Gold standard dilution studies and the bio-electrical impedance technique were not confirmed to be either practical or valid alternates to assess dehydration in the clinical setting. Weight and body mass index (BMI) confounded the association between body water and dehydration. Good agreement (78-87%) of global clinical dehydration assessment (clinical assessment) was confirmed between the study's medical officer and the consultants of the Geriatric and Rehabilitation Unit (GARU) and thus become the alternate dependant variable. Although the optimal combination of parameters for clinical dehydration assessment was unable to be elucidated, clinically significant changes upon mild dehydration were more apparent with physical as opposed to biochemical parameters. BMI confounded the association between dehydration and some physical measurements, such as the drop in systolic blood pressure on standing and skin turgor. Of all the clinical assessment and screening variables explored, tongue dryness was validated and represents a practical, sensitive (64%) and specific (62%) dehydration screen suitable for use with all older people in a geriatric and rehabilitation unit setting. Dehydration was established to be more prevalent amongst older Australians admitted to hospital than previously acknowledged or identified by hospitals. The finding identifies dehydration as a significant clinical issue considering the ageing Australian population, limited health resources and the association of dehydration with increased morbidity and mortality. The validation of the simple dehydration screen will contribute to the identification and treatment of dehydration. Although the highest sensitivity and specificity is always desired for screening, it is not always achieved. Moderate sensitivity results in more people being identified at risk by the screen than confirmed to be dehydrated through clinical assessment. Moderate specificity results in the screen's failure to identify those who would be clinically assessed with dehydration. Moderate sensitivity and specificity necessitates the assessment of more people than those with the condition and results in other people with the condition of interest not being identified. Each situation is reduced with increasing levels of sensitivity and specificity. A valid and simple dehydration screen provides future opportunities to confirm improved clinical (prevent adverse events, improve or stabilise disease), cost (reduce intensity of care, hospital stay) and client (death, disability) outcomes as a result of improved identification and timely and appropriate treatment. New insights are provided into individual clinical assessment measures as well as valid and reliable screening. A number of recommendations and future dehydration studies are discussed. The key recommendation for future studies is to discern between intracellular and intravascular volume depletion to enable investigation of an homogenous sample. Further studies are needed to also establish optimal dehydration prevention methods (e.g. awareness and positioning of fluids, beverage carts) and provide evidence that hydration support enhances primary (e.g. morbidity and mortality) and secondary (e.g. cognitive or functional measures, quality of life) health outcomes. Through responsive systems in health delivery, dehydration amongst older hospitalised people can be identified, better managed if present, and avoided with suitable treatment.

99 Bottles of Beer
|This article possibly contains original research. (May 2017) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
|This article needs additional or better citations for verification. (October 2010) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
"99 Bottles of Beer" is an anonymous folk song dating to the mid-20th century. It is a traditional reverse counting song in both the United States and Canada. It is popular to sing on long trips, as it has a very repetitive format which is easy to memorize and can take a long time to sing. In particular, the song is often sung by children on long bus trips, such as class field trips, or on Scout and/or Girl Guide outings.
The song's lyrics are as follows:[1][2]
99 bottles of beer on the wall, 99 bottles of beer.
Take one down, pass it around, 98 bottles of beer on the wall...
The same verse is repeated, each time with one bottle fewer, until there are none left. Variations on the last verse following the last bottle going down include lines such as:
No more bottles of beer on the wall, no more bottles of beer.
Go to the store and buy some more, 99 bottles of beer on the wall...
No more bottles of beer on the wall, no more bottles of beer.
We've taken them down and passed them around; now we're drunk and passed out!
Another alternate line reads:
If that one bottle should happen to fall, what a waste of alcohol!
Andy Kaufman routine[edit]
The boring and time-consuming nature of the "99 Bottles of Beer" song means that probably only a small minority of renditions are done to the final verse.[citation needed] The American comedian Andy Kaufman exploited this fact in the routine early in his career when he would actually sing all 100 verses.[3]
Mathematically inspired variants[edit]
Donald Byrd has collected dozens of variants inspired by mathematical concepts and written by himself and others.[4] (A subset of his collection has been published.[5]) Byrd argues that the collection has pedagogic as well as amusement value. Among his variants are:
- "Infinity bottles of beer on the wall". If one bottle is taken down, there are still infinite bottles of beer on the wall (thus creating an unending sequence much like "The Song That Never Ends").
- "Aleph-null bottles of beer on the wall". Aleph-null is the size of the set of all natural numbers, and is the smallest infinity and the only countable one; therefore, even if an infinite aleph-null of bottles fall, the same amount remains.
- "Aleph-one/two/three/etc. bottles of beer on the wall". Aleph-one, two, three, etc. are uncountable infinite sets, which are larger than countable ones; therefore, if only a countable infinity of bottles fall, an uncountable number remains.
Other versions in Byrd's collection involve concepts including geometric progressions, differentials, Euler's identity, complex numbers, summation notation, the Cantor set, the Fibonacci sequence, and the continuum hypothesis, among others.
On a Malcolm in the Middle episode,[6] on the way to a mathematics competition, Malcolm's classmates, the Krelboynes, sing a variation of this song, stating "the square root of (number of) bottles of beer". Malcolm states to the camera that they are only at the nineties.
References in computer science[edit]
The computer scientist Donald Knuth proved that the song has a complexity of in his in-joke-article "The Complexity of Songs".
Numerous computer programs exist to output the lyrics to the song. This is analogous to "Hello, World!" programs, with the addition of loops. As with "Hello World!", this can be a practice exercise for those studying computer programming, and a demonstration of different programming paradigms dealing with looping constructs and syntactic differences between programming languages within a paradigm.

No one ever said dating was easy. Likewise, no one ever said using social media to grow your business was easy, either. And as they say, if dating (and social media) is a game, then just like any other game, there are rules you need to study, learn, and follow.
How close do the "rules" match up with your love life? We took eHarmony's 5 Do's and Don'ts of Dating and gave them the social media marketing spin. See for yourself how appropriate the suggestions are.
Top 5 Do's of Dating… and Social Media Marketing
1. Do: Be clear AND realistic about what you want – The most successful daters are those who not only know exactly what they want, but are realistic about themselves and what they're looking for. Successful social media marketers know what their goals are: Whether it's to build their followers (i.e., go on lots of dates) or gain new customers (i.e., look at dating as a step to marriage).
2. Do: Put yourself in target rich environments (often!) – The best way to avoid a dating rut is to get "out there" on a regular basis. Social media marketers know where your targets are — whether it's Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, or blogs — and get "out there" often.
3. Do: Learn your relationship lessons – Instead of obsessing about past relationship failures, look at those experiences as valuable lessons. In social media marketing, experiment often, and learn from what works and doesn't in those experiences.
4. Do: Have fun – In your quest to meet your partner, you may sometimes lose sight of the fact that dating is supposed to be fun. Yes, it takes a lot of time, energy, and patience… Likewise in social media marketing, not all of your posts need to be business-serious. You should engage on topics of personal interest to you, as well.
5. Do: Become a successful single – The key to enjoying your social life as a savvy single is to relish in the possibilities. In social media marketing, you need to become a successful business; you'll be more attractive if your business is a success.
Top 5 Don'ts of Dating… and Social Media Marketing
1. Don't: Misrepresent yourself – While online dating is a valuable resource for the savvy single, there are people out there who misrepresent themselves. Don't be one of them. Same goes for social media marketing. Be truthful about your identity and your business!
2. Don't: Get stuck in a rut – Getting stuck in a dating rut or dry spell doesn't have to be part of the single gal's experience. Likewise, take a break from social media for a little while if your creative juices aren't flowing.
3. Don't: Drag excess baggage on dates – Just as you shouldn't have to date a guy who lugs his emotional baggage wherever he goes, you shouldn't be That Girl either. In social media, stay away from overly "heavy" topics. See also Do #4.
4. Don't: Be a critic – He's too short. He doesn't drive the right car. I don't think he makes enough money. In social media marketing, don't mis-judge who your potential customers (and influencers) are. A "profile" doesn't tell you everything: Look at their posts, links to websites, and other information.
5. Don't: Look at being single as a bad thing – This kind of negative thinking is both dangerous and defeating to your dating efforts. After all, would you want to date someone who hated being single? Similarly, don't worry if you're new to social media. Just make a list of your "target rich environments" (see Do #2) and get started!

We rescued him from an alleged wolf dog breeder. He shows (to me) a few wolf characteristics. I need your help. This photo was taken directly off my instagram.:help:
Hi....welcome to the forum. I'm new as well! You learn a lot that's for sure. I don't see any wolf in him, just looks like a German Shepherd with a graying muzzle, but non the less a beautiful one! Congrats on your new family member!
Nope, no wolf. Which is a relief.
Thank you for rescuing him. Handsome boy. Enjoy him. Focus on training & bonding. I'm sure he will be a good buddy.
yeah, it's part wolf. who wants a GSD when you can have
a Wolf/GSD?
I would say not .
Looks like a GSD with a gray muzzle. Maybe you are noticing wolf traits because the GSD is one of the most wolf like breeds. They are still 100% dog tho.

I'm also turning gray! My wife said I act like a old wolf" just want to lay around and howl! Then she shows me who the pack leader is" and I can tell you its not Ceased M.p.s. you have a pretty German Shepherd! Bill:)
No wolf, imo. Cochise, my Sibe from yrs back, was often assumed to be 'part wolf' but anyone who knew what to look for saw 100% dog. (The sister of Cochise's 1st owner actually kept/bred high percentage wolf crosses. Cochise's owner thought it was a bad idea & didn't allow his young children around them).
The GSD's wolf lineage ended over a century ago. While they resemble grey wolves, there is nothing "wild" about them beyond the looks.
Over the years I shared my home with a number of wolf shepherd crosses, and I am 100% sure you have a dog, no wolf blood. I base this on what I see in the photo--the size and set of his ears, the size of his canine teeth, the shape of his muzzle, what I call the "German shepherd bump" on his nose, the shape and color of his eyes, the size and shape of his feet...I am sure that if you posted a side photo of him standing, we could address other conformation evidence. Enjoy your dog for what he is!
