Sweet touches
The wedding cake is more than just eye candy or a tool for slapstick humour; it sweetens up the big day. Traditionally, a three-tiered affair, the cake features prominently as a centrepiece at the wedding banquet, which is never over until the bride and groom have cut into it and fed a piece to each other.
For couples and guests, the cutting of the cake is a highlight of any wedding and provides happy memories in the album.
'I think couples [in Hong Kong] realise that wedding cakes are really an integral part of wedding receptions,' says Jennifer Cheung, owner of patisserie Sift Desserts. She agrees that the wedding cake is the perfect way to wrap up any wedding celebration, but also says that its design plays a bit part.
'The design of the wedding cake also adds to the general aesthetic of the entire occasion,' Cheung says.
It used to be that the cake was for decorative purposes only. Couples soon realised there was no point in having a cake that couldn't be eaten. There has been a recent shift from inedible wedding cakes to mouthwatering ones, as evident from the many speciality cake shops sprouting up across Hong Kong.
'It has always been a bizarre idea to me to have a wedding cake that is not edible,' Cheung says. 'Cakes, like anything sweet, are the perfect way to round out a dinner celebration. I can't imagine a wedding celebration without finishing off with a perfect slice of wedding cake or a wedding cupcake.'
For couples looking for alternatives to classic wedding cakes, Cheung suggests wedding cupcake towers. 'They make distribution easy and couples can always order a variety of flavours so that guests can choose what they like,' she says.
Just like choosing that special someone to spend the rest of your life with, Cheung's advice for couples looking for their impeccable wedding cake is to figure out what you like and follow your heart.
She says: 'The wedding cake is always perfect if it is a representation of the couple. When it comes to design, choose something that matches your theme and aesthetic. Last but not least, taste is always the most important factor, so choose something that you love to eat.'
Sarah Lee, founder of dessert shop Sweet Secrets, thinks local couples are influenced by the Western culture of wedding cakes.
'In Western weddings, it has been said that guests would remember two things: how gorgeous the bride's dress was and the wedding cake,' she says. 'More than 10 years ago, our wedding clients were mostly Western couples or cross-culture couples. These days, we see a lot of local couples asking for speciality wedding cakes as it becomes more of a norm to have one that suits the style of the couple's well-planned party.'
Lee believes clients are embracing the possibilities of diversity when it comes to wedding cakes. 'Clients are more open
to non-conventional designs and cake structure. It may not just be neatly stacked cakes; it can be fun, funky, topsy-turvy or a cupcake tower. There used to be more cream-based designs, but now most are finished with fondant as it offers more design versatility,' she says.
Sweet Secrets creates a wedding cake by inviting couples to a consultation where they get to know their needs, style, party agenda and preference for flavours. 'It is important to design a cake that reflects the couple's style and to serve a cake that everyone will enjoy eating. It is beyond having a gorgeous-looking cake,' Lee says.
Katherine Jay, confectionary artist for custom-designed cakes and confectionery shop Antique Patisserie, thinks couples' desire for a memorable wedding experience is reflected in their careful choice of wedding cake.
'The wedding cake can now be a decorative edible piece of art, which can also be a centrepiece in the wedding banquet,' she says.
The reign of the huge wedding cake is over, according to Jay. 'Many couples want a uniquely designed cake to create a memorable experience for their friends and family that non-edible cakes will not be able to provide. Just like many couples are looking for small unique weddings,' she says.
Jay suggests couples set a theme for their wedding before they search for their wedding cake. 'The wedding cake is just like the wedding dress - there are lots of different styles. Other than the theme, the budget is also very important,' she says.
The most memorable wedding cake Jay did was a cake the groom ordered to pleasantly surprise the bride on their big day. '
The cake was all covered with the bride's favourite flower, the rose. All roses were handmade, edible sugar roses,' she says.
Just like any edible wedding cake, it ensured sweet memories.

Baby It's Cold OutsideMonday, December 9th, 2013
Focusing on small fun details while trying to provide an interesting and nutritious lunch is what I try to do best, but every now and again I just can't resist joining in with the Bento Bloggers and Friends for a themed blog hop. My bento peers are such an inspiration to me! Today's Winter Wonderlunch hop showcases lunches with winterscapes, snow flakes, snowmen and even more winter fun! I can't wait to see what everyone has come up with. I had many ideas bouncing in my head when this theme was first chosen. Honestly I only nailed myself down to this one the day before this hop! Ironically in the end I actually drew inspiration from my very own blog!
Last year I did a small portioned lunch for my son Brendan (now a big 6th grader who doesn't appreciate themed lunches as much anymore). I called the post Home for the Holidays. That lunch featured a cute little house set in a winterscape. I decided to recreate that lunch in a larger scaled version in my EasyLunchboxes container. Looking back I still love that lunchbox I created BUT I am very happy with the updated version I made this year. Tell me, what do you think? Although my house is nestled in red and green I like to think of the blueberries above as a dark, cold sky hence this year's Baby it's Cold Outside theme.
This lunch includes:
- Blueberries
- Yogurt pretzels
- Sugar Snap peas & Red peppers
- A PB&J sandwich
- Cheese star and moon
Now for more frosty fun, be sure to go visit Grace my amazing friend in the UK to see what she's got cooking on her blog Eats Amazing! Now hop along and keep warm! Happy Holidays!

Tom Hanks & Matt Damon: "Colbert Report" Craziness
Stepping out to promote his new movie "Cloud Atlas," Tom Hanks paid a visit to "The Colbert Report" last night (October 25).
During a segment called Stephen Ghoulbert's Spooky Time Halloween Fun Guide, the "Turner and Hooch" actor showed up with ulterior motives.
Hanks declared, "I'm not here to talk about me or my movies… or my legacy as a living legend, I'm here for the kids, with some great inexpensive costumes that will make for a great spooktacular Halloween."
However, he proceeded to dish out costume ideas that were pulled directly from his catalog of movie roles, including an impromptu appearance from a cranky Matt Damon who wore "Saving Private Ryan" duds.

GOG - Interview @ Games Industry
Games Industry.biz has a new interview about the recent GOG Insomnia Sale. The interview includes both GOG's VP of North America Guillaume Rambourg, and VP of Business Development Oleg Klapovsky.
Klapovsky said the team had underestimated how popular the Insomnia promo would be. When they first tried it last year, they queued up a list of deals they figured would take customers maybe two weeks to burn through. Instead, they snatched up all the deals in just five days. And that's even with some games that struggled to sell through their allotted copies.
"There were some blockers we didn't expect," Klapovsky said. "I still remember the game Jack Keane 2, that appeared during the night European time, and it postponed the next game for six hours or so."
The GOG forums soon lit up with players frustrated by Jack Keane 2's continued presence as the lone discounted game. Rambourg said users began asking each other to buy copies just so they could cycle through to the next deal. Later on in the promo, Rambourg said the GOG team decidedly to lightly troll the fans, bringing Jack Keane 2 back in the rotation with an absurdly large allotment of discounted copies. That gag aside, Rambourg insisted they play fair with the counter. If a game stubbornly refuses to sell and brings the promo to a halt, then so be it.
"Honestly, I think it's part of the fun that some games might block the whole process," Rambourg said. "It's just like life. It's never black or white; it's always gray... Let's see what happens. People talk, they interact, they have fun with it. We don't see the promo as something that should be carefully scheduled, that should be totally smooth."
The good news for GOG is that bumps like that are just part of the entertainment value for those following along. The better news is that the Insomnia promos have been working. In the first 24 hours of the most recent sale, GOG saw 620,000 unique visitors come to check out the deals. About 90,000 games were sold in the first two days of the promotion, and in the first wave of titles, each game was only offered for an average of three minutes before all the copies were snapped up. Theme Park was the fastest seller, moving three copies a second for the brief time it was on sale.

PW2 is a healing arts company.
Our focus is to help you move through life's challenges with less struggle & with a greater conscious understanding of who you are & what you truly desire.
Clients work with us to improve or resolve relationship, career, health, financial or social patterns that may be limiting them!
I invite you to come for a session, a workshop or healer training!
Here's why it works.......
Healing Arts works with the whole of you; your mind-body-emotion-spirit are all intertwined and connected! The tools of the Healing Arts embrace this connectivity and use it to help the body-mind-spirit to begin to heal itself.
We, as human beings, are driven by what we think, believe and feel about ourselves, others and our circumstance. Healing arts can help release what needs to be released and develop what needs to be developed. And, in doing so, we begin to shift root causes of patterns that may have been limiting us.
Practical WooWoo™ has been helping folks and organizations reconnect with the parts of themselves that bring them joy, fulfillment and self discovery since August of 2004!
Here's what I offer.....
One-on-One Energy Sessions : Incorporate Healing Arts techniques including Energy Healings, Guided Visualizations, Meditative Exercises, EFT, Sound Therapy, Personal Intuition Development, Heal Your Life® teachings and relaxation techniques. Customized to meet your specific needs! (phone/skype sessions available too)
Workshops : Focus on Healing all things YOU and how to support yourself through your tranformations and growth. Topics include: Relationships, Heal Your Life® tools, Energy Healing techniques, Intuition Devleopment and the relevance of Past Life exploration.
Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique (QHHT) Sessions: This is the life transforming technique developed by Dolores Cannon . This form of self development & healing work begins with Past Regression and then unlike other past life regression methods, it deepens and takes you to places within yourself that help you facilitate healing from the place within you that already knows what you need. I have personally experienced the benefits of QHHT and believe that it brings true healing of patterns or distortions that manifest and present in a physical, mental/emotional, or spiritual manner.

Moen Shower Faucet
2 Attachment(s)
My daughter called and said their shower faucet is leaking. I had her and me a few pics and the name brand - Moen. Before I head over and try to replace, I seem to remember that Moen's have a cartridge and require a special socket to remove the old one.
I just though I might get some feedback to save me a little time if someone knows if I can use a regular socket and what size.
I usually just yank em out with a pair of pliers. Be careful or you will snap the stem off of it and then you're in trouble.
There's a moen cartridge puller out there, but I wouldn't say it resembles anything like a socket. . . .
The new cartridge should come with a littlle plastic adaptor that slides over the stem of old cartridge after removing the clip.
The square end of this adaptor sticks out so you can turn it with a cresent wrench.
after locking the adaptor in there try spinning it both directions a couple of times first to loosen it up before yanking on it.
Lube the new cartridge up really good with plumbers grease before installing it to protect the o-rings.
If you find the hot/cold are reversed after installing it just remove the clip and spin the cartridge 180 degrees and reinstall the clip.
They also make a tool for pulling the cartridge just incase youre not feeling lucky :)
I'm always lucky.
I keep a pipe tap and some 1/4" copper handy just for such emergencies! :laughing:
Thanks for all the input. This information will defintely help me out.:)

By Richard Clarke
Theo Walcott will be perfectly happy if the Roma players clatter into his recently-recovered shoulder on Wednesday night.
The England midfielder returned after four months out when he came off the bench in the 71st minute of the FA Cup Fifth Round tie with Burnley on Sunday.
The 19-year-old was immediately in the action and had a couple of chances to squeeze home a comeback goal late in the game.
However Walcott realises his return is still a work in progress and the shoulder he dislocated back in November needs a proper test. And he does not mind if it comes at the Stadio Olimpico in the Champions League Knockout Round second leg.
"That'll definitely be good for me really," he said. "Even though I know how weird that sounds.
"In training with Arsenal, you obviously don't want to injure your own players so you tend to be a little softer but matchdays are totally different.
"Overall it feels fine. I still haven't experienced getting clattered yet so that's the next test. But if that that happens the new doctor has come from a rugby background. He has dealt with two dislocated shoulders a year and he said, touch wood, I'll be OK.
"The fans gave me a big boost with a good reception on Sunday. It was a brilliant game to come in to. Hopefully I will try and get into that starting line up again. I am just looking forward to another experience in Italy now."
And, in terms of rehabilitation, Walcott can take inspiration from the star turn against Burnley.
"Look at Eduardo," remarked the former Southampton wide man. "He has been out for a very long time and he's mentally very strong. I have learned from watching him while he has been injured, how well he took everything in and how he smiles when he comes in every day. So I am happy for him.
"As for his finishing, that is ridiculous. It is unbelievable to watch in training. He hasn't lost his touch and he never will. He is going to score many more like that one on Sunday I hope.
"He's a brilliant finisher and we've missed that. I think that goal was the best finish I have seen this year so I am very happy for him."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Families appeal demolition judgment
Owners in shock over judgment
Eleven families whose homes were ordered to be demolished have filed a joint appeal to have the court judgment overturned.
Among other arguments, the appeal says the Civil Court gave a wrong interpretation of the advice of the court-appointed architect, on which Judge Silvio Meli based his judgment.
The case, which dates back to 1985, was originally filed by the late Francis Manduca against Lay Lay Company Limited, which was accused of usurping 446 square metres of his land in the area known as Ta' Rmiedi in Dun Mikiel Xerri Street, Attard.
The court ruled that Mr Manduca's property, now belonging to heirs Joseph and Alfred Manduca, had been invaded by the company, which should therefore pay for the demolition of the houses.
The court also found that three of the 11 owners were responsible for usurping the land.
It gave Lay Lay six months to demolish the buildings, saying that, if this was not done, the owners could carry out the demolition themselves at the company's expense.
But the families insist they bought their property in good faith and have all the necessary documents to prove it.
Speaking to The Times earlier this month, one of the home-owners, Jimmy (James) Fsadni, 63, who was one of the three owners found to be responsible for the land's usurpation, was in shock.
"I don't know what to do... I'm half expecting a bunch of trucks to show up and start demolishing everything. It's always the small fry who has to pay," he said.
The appeal was filed jointly by lawyers Edward DeBono, Aldo Vella, Raphael Fenech Adami, Philip Manduca, Jonathan De Maria and John Vassallo.
The home owners are Mr Fsadni, Mary Vassallo, David Fenech, John Fenech, John Bellizzi, Joseph Falzon, Mario Abela, Francis and Jane Giudice, Filomena Bowdler, Anthony Bezzina and George Vella.

Flat roof repair/replacement questions
Hi everyone, (long post ahead)
first of all, I'm just going to go out on a limb and guess that my situation is unique, but I'm looking for any help I can get.
I've got a house that I purchased about a year ago that has a flat roof. well, flat roofs actually. The hosue has been described as a "european second empire" style house with a mansard roof, but I would guess most people would just call it "weird." Here's a picture so that people can get an idea of what I'm dealing with.
The lower levels of the house (including the garage) appear to have an SBS modified bitumen roofing on the flat sections, and the tallest, 2nd story roof looks like it has some sort of built up roofing. The house originally had cedar shake shingles on the vertical portions that we had replaced with decking and conventional shingles.
When we bought the house we knew that the flat roof sections' days were numbered but were able to get the house for cheap enough for it not to matter. Since buying the house we've had to patch a couple of sections near the flashing on the flat portion of the roof that have leaked (we think from where the roofers damaged the seal while installing the shingles), and have some leaking in the garage.
I guess my big question is, what should I do with the roof now? I'm looking for options, and hopefully going to try and settle on an solution with good cost-benefit and ROI aspects. I think my big options are to either redo the flat sections with any one of a myriad of systems (BUR, modified bit, EPDM, PUF, etc) or to try and get a plan drawn up for adding a pitch to the roof. I'd love to hear from some professionals on what they think would be the best course of action.
Is something like a peel and stick modified bit roof something that a non-professional like myself could tackle? Are they any good?
Would a spray foam roof be better here in Texas and do they actually work as advertised?
Does the weird shape of the house make pitching the individual sections cost prohibitive? Anyone have ballpark figures on pitching a roof that looks anything like mine?
I've been thinking about all of these things for a long time and haven't really come across information that's applicable to my specific situation because there are so few flat roofed houses down here, and even fewer that look like mine!
Thanks everyone for taking the time to read all of this, and I'd appreciate any and all information you guys have that you think would work, including any other places where it might be handy to post this kind of question.
Cliff's notes: Have weird house with flat roof (see picture), dunno whether to replace with another flat roof or spend money to pitch it, dunno how much it would cost.
Where you are located and your budget will determine your next step in the roofing. If you are looking to get a quick 10 years out of the house and flip it, then I would suggest an elastomeric roof restoration over the existing. It's cheap and when done properly will buy you some time. If you are looking to stay in the house I would suggest a single ply roofing system. Where you are loacted will partially determine what kind of single ply.
As far as spray foam goes, it is highly specialized. Most of the guys I know doing spray foam don't do residential, only commercial. ALL of the spray foam I have seen has been a failure due to installation error. I'm not an advocate for nor against spray foam. Like ALL flat roofing systems it will leak if not done properly.
If you were in my area, Chicago, I would be suggesting either a white TPO or PVC. White is good due to the reflectivity, epdm would not be my choice because it's black and I would think in texas you'd want to reflect the heat. I also prefer the heat welded seams on a thermoplastic roof (tpo and pvc are thermoplastic) vs the taped or adhesive seams on a thermoset (epdm is thermoset). PVC has a more proven track record than TPO, while TPO is cheaper. In addition, replacing all of the edge metal would be a must no matter what roofing system you chose (other than a restoration). Also now is the time to consider roofing insulation... again how much and what kind is determined on your location. I really don't know the texas recommended standards. What about a tear off? That depends on how many layers you have and if you think there is any bad wood beneath the roof.
The addition of a pitch to the roof is easily done one of two ways. Tapered insulation, or if you think you have alot of bad wood, just build a pitch into the framing structure. On a building of your size, the costs would be a wash either way IMO. If you're looking for faster, easier and more insulation value, go with the tapered. Reframing the structure may leave it exposed. However with a TPO or PVC, puddles are not warranty exclusions so unless you have puddles more than 1" deep I wouldn't worry about it. Puddles 1/2" deep which evaporate within 48 hours are totally acceptably by nearly every material manufacturer. It's almost impossible to have a flat roof without some sort of puddle.
Here is a write up about commonly asked flat roofing questions which I wrote to help my customers make educated decisions. http://reliableamerican.us/articles/...questions.html If you have any specific questions, I'll be happy to answer.
As for this mansard style roof being unique, it's not. I have worked on several and am in the process specifying the best solution to one very similiar project in Lake Forest, IL. It's a nice house you have, treat it right.

You may want to contact Rayburn roofing. I am not sure if he does residential, but I know commercial flat work is his specialty and I know he's somewhere there in Texas.

Thanks for all the help grumpy, I really appreciate it. Here's my brain dump after reading your post, sorry if it's a bit disorganized.
I forgot to mention TPO as an option, but it was something I've looked into. With most of the people I talked to it was one of the more expensive solutions, but if I can get a lot more longevity out of it I would definitely take it into consideration. What is maintenance like on a TPO/PVC roof? Is it something a fairly handy homeowner could keep up with?
Is there any way to really know the condition of the wood underneath the roofing material without actually removing it? I bought the house as a foreclosure and have only been there a year (the house also sat vacant for about 9 months while I tried to buy it, long story) so I'm not sure about the history. There really isn't evidence of water infiltration inside the house other than the garage, but I doubt that speaks to what's going on up on the roof itself.
re: replacing the edge material. I would love to do that, the stuff that's up there now has seen better days and wasn't treated well by the roofers that put up the shingles. I think it was a galvanized aluminum, any idea if it's possible to get it in colors? The roofers that did the shingles decided to spray paint it and well...
I was planning on putting some additional insulation in the void between the roof and ceiling if at all possible, but I guess that would require a teardown. Any idea if spray foam insulation can be applied from the outside-in, so to speak? All the applications I've ever seen go from the interior -> exterior.
When I talked about pitching the roof before, I actually meant building a pitch (2/12 at least) with trusses/framing and shingling that. I'm not sure how tying it into the existing shingled roof would work, but that's why I'm asking questions! Any experience with something like that, or anecdotes about why I should/shouldn't? I've heard from both real estate people as well as roofers/construction people that replacing the flat roof with a pitched one (I guess it would technically make it a gambrel at that point?) would be the "perfect world" solution, but I don't even know where to start going about getting ballpark figures for that sort of thing.
I live in the DFW area, know anyone there you'd recommend talking to?
ok, I think that's about it!

Yes, Spray foam is a viable roofing system, as long as your applicator knows what he is doing.

For the most part, the weapons created by Tony Swatton on his YouTube show "Man at Arms" (on the AweMeChannel) have been based in reality, even if they were seen on fantasy TV shows or within video games. While the Key Blade doesn't officially exist, it's still based on some kind of real sword (the handle, blade, etc., look like they could be real).
That's a bit different with his latest video project, re-creating the Diamond Sword from the Minecraft video game. Clearly, nobody in real life would be carrying around a sword this blocky, would they? Let's watch the video to see how Swatton was able to create a real-life Diamond Sword.
Once again, my favorite parts are when the guys go behind the shop and start destroying things with the weapon they made. Whooo!
Here's a bonus video for Minecraft fans - the AweMEChannel also posted this time-lapse video of chalk artist Chris Carlson drawing a 3D chalk version of the Diamond Sword.
Minecraft fans, how did they do with these videos?

Audi TT Coupé Review

- Fuel economy: 34 - 60 mpg

- Cruise control and parking sensors cost extra
Welcome to the third instalment in the TT blockbuster franchise. The Mk1 Audi TT Coupe (launched in 1998) and the Mk2 (2006) have both been sales smash hits, so TT 3 has a lot to live up to.
After our first drive, we're pretty sure it has little to worry about. This is the all-new version of the Coupe, with the soft-top version coming in summer 2015. Rivals include the likes of the Peugeot RCZ and BMW 2 Series, while the high-performance Audi TT S model is faster than a Porsche Cayman.
All the bits that made the old TT so popular – head-turning looks, a high-quality interior, everyday usability and speedy performance – remain, while the car as a whole has been brought bang up to date with the latest technology.
The styling mixes elements of the Mk1 and Mk2 and at first glance it's unmistakably a TT. The wheelbase (the distance between the front and rear wheels) has grown slightly but the car's overall length remains the same, making for super-short front and rear overhangs. They wear sharper, more modern-looking headlights and tail-lights with some neat touches including directional indicators that swipe across the tail-lights rather than wink on and off.
The Audi TT Coupe is still a 2+2, with a pair of tiny seats under the rear window that are best suited to kids only. As before, convertible Roadster and super-quick TT RS models will follow.
High-tech interior
The interior has always been an important part of the TT's appeal, from the very first car's aluminium-trimmed boutique cabin to the Mk2's superb fit and finish. In TT 3, it's reached new heights of designer appeal.
Biggest point of interest is the instrument panel, which has become a 12.3-inch high-resolution LCD screen. The only ordinary gauges are the fuel and water temperature meters at the bottom of the screen – everything else is digital. There's no central multimedia screen in the new TT – everything, from sat-nav maps to album artwork, is displayed behind the steering wheel.
You can choose between 'Classic view', with a conventional speedo and rev counter in their usual positions and all other information between them in the middle, or a full-screen 'Infotainment mode' where the instruments shrink to miniaturised versions of themselves and functions such as the sat-nav map, for example, grow to fill the screen almost entirely. You'll need to specify the optional Technology Mode to access the best of this function, though.
It's all controlled via either buttons on the wheel or Audi's latest-generation 'MMI' control wheel near the gear lever and it's all fairly intuitive. It might take a little practice to get used to at first, but after a short while even the least tech-savvy of drivers will be happily scrolling through the system's various functions on the move.
Petrol and diesel choices
At launch, the regular TT is available with a choice of two engines: a 2.0-litre petrol or a 2.0-litre diesel, both turbocharged.
The petrol TT can be specced with either front-wheel drive and a six-speed manual gearbox or 'quattro' four-wheel drive and Audi's smooth S tronic six-speed automatic gearbox.
The diesel, for now, is front-drive and manual only and can boast impressive fuel economy and CO2 emissions.
There's also a hot Audi TT S model, with a serious 306bhp from its 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine and four-wheel drive.

4.5 5 9
"These moist meatballs are so easy to make, yet they taste so fancy," writes Teri Lindquist of Gurnee, Illinois. The sweet and tangy sauce has surprising flavor from ginger and cloves. This entree is economical, too at 78¢ a serving.
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 1/3 cup milk
- 1/4 cup seasoned bread crumbs
- 1 tablespoon dried minced onion
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1-1/2 pounds ground beef
- 2 cans (14-3/4 ounces each) beef gravy
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/4 cup cider vinegar
- 3/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 package (12 ounces) egg noodles
- In a large bowl, combine the first five ingredients. Crumble beef over mixture and mix well. Shape into 1-1/2-in. balls. Place meatballs on a greased rack in a shallow pan. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 20 minutes; drain.
- With a slotted spoon, transfer meatballs into a greased 2-1/2-qt. baking dish. Combine gravy, brown sugar, vinegar, ginger and cloves; pour over meatballs. Cover and bake 30 minutes longer or until meat is no longer pink. Meanwhile, cook noodles according to package directions; drain. Serve with meatballs. Yield: 8 servings (40 meatballs).

"This was WONDERFUL! To save on food prep time, I bought pre-made frozen meatballs and heated them in the crockpot. To save on cost, I bought 2 pkgs of brown gravy mix which made 4 cups. This saves money versus buying jars of pre-made gravy. And it was so good!"

"My family loves this recipe. It's become a mainstay in my recipe box. i cheat though and use packaged meatballs to make it even easier."
Reviewed Jan. 26, 2010
"My family really enjoyed the meatballs themselves. The sauce, however, wasn't such a big hit. I was out of cider vinegar so I substituted a little regular vinegar and a little apple juice. Perhaps that is what caused the sauce to be overly sweet.So I'm definitely keeping this recipe for the meatballs, but I'm not sure I'll be making this sauce again."

- Missing the other person
- Being divorced makes them feel like a failure
- They realize they still love the other person
- They realize it was partly their fault, and they were not being reasonable
- They feel lonely
- They suddenly realize they liked being married

Interesting story on Court TV's "Forensic Files" show tonight...I'll try to summarize.
A man was a suspect in the murder of his business partner. He had been shot in the head with a .25 pistol. Just three weeks before the murder, the suspect had bought a .25, but when police checked it they determined that it was not the murder weapon.
Employees reported that they had seen the suspect in the past showing off a different .25, an old Beretta with a tip-up barrel (Model 20 I think). Police thought that may be the murder weapon, but the suspect denied ever having owned such a pistol.
After a few years with no progress, one of the investigators had an idea. He wondered if the holster held in evidence, which had carried the .25 the suspect admitted owning, could have marks on the inside indicating it had also carried the Beretta they believed was the murder weapon. Technicians cut the holster's stitching and examined the inside of the holster (a Galco), finding carry marks that matched up perfectly with a Beretta just like the guy said he'd never owned. Busted!
Along with other evidence, this was a key piece of evidence that convicted the sleazeball of first degree murder. The motive was $650,000 in life insurance on his partner (the insurance likely funded a buy-sell agreement) that would come to him upon death of his partner.
It was good to see justice done due to the perserverance and creative thinking by the investigators.
Very cool idea!

That was pretty smart.
Forensics...amazing stuff.
Slightly Off Topic but, also very interesting and somewhat related.
Forensics nabbed this one bank robber - who robbed banks completely covered up from the bank security cameras.
They were sure they had the right guy but needed more proof positive to guarantee a conviction.
So...they exactly matched the very unique dark and light denim coloration pattern on the outside stitched seam running down the side leg of his worn blue jeans with the bank security camera robbery footage.
Pretty doggone amazing.
Liberty Over Tyranny Μολὼν λαβέ
Its getting harder to get away with murder. Thank God for DNA and forensics labs which have cleared the innocent and put the guilty where they belong.
The only problem with all the great technology is that it leaves juries expecting incontrovertible scientific evidence for every crime. Anything else, like old-fashioned testimony, no longer seems adequate...and there's not always some great digital thingamajigger or DNA transmosifier to make the case.
The "CSI factor" can really work against the good guys, too.

Cilling Fan
Ok I just installed a cilling fan with 3 lights in my bedroom and I use
AWG # 14. I find out that the wire were #14 after I did everithing :D Now I just not sure if this wire is ok. If it will be ok or do I has to upgrade to #12.
Plus if any boddy can tell me how to find out like in this case if the wire is ok for such installation I mean any installation?
Thank you in advance.:o :o
Ya lost me pretty early on with what you have going on there...but:
#14 = 15 amps MAX
#12 = 20 amps MAX
#10 = 30 amps MAX
80% of MAX rating for continuous draw which equates to:
#14 = 12 amps continuous
#12 = 16 amps continuous
#10 = 24 amps continuous
Hope this helps.:)
Yea like JP said. If your on a 15 amp breaker your probably fine. HS
(3) 150 watt lights draw a little more than 4 amps total. Even the least efficient ceiling fans aren't going to draw more than 5 amps ( a good fan might draw 3 amps). If that's all that's on the circuit you're under 10 amps fully loaded.
you should be fine, most cieling fans won't draw more than 5-6 amps with fan motor and lights on at the same time. 14 gauge wire is good for 15 amps
Well I have beside the fan 6 receptacles in the circuit with they are hardly used.
I know I'm not using more than 80%
Because 6x180=1080 plus the fan is about 4.5av
and the breaker is 15a
so 15x120x.80=1440 =1440 so this is no more than 1080
But I just wasn't sure if AWG#14 was ok for a ceiling fan with 3 lights.
But thanks jproffer that help me much.
And thank you all for your help.
And when did 1440 become less than 1080...where have I been?:confused:
If you have 6 of what I assume are 15A/120V receptacles, plus 4.5 for the fan (is that calculated or as found on the fan info?), then you'll be OK (legal) on #14 conductors, as long as you only feed it with a 15A breaker. The breakers may trip, or may not, depending on the load you put on it, but thats not against code. The code requirements are written to protect poeple, not to make life more convenient for them.
You can also use a 20 amp breaker to feed six(or any number more than one) 15A rec. plus the fan and be legal IF, and only if, you change to #12 conductors.
Well as I know when you calculate a circuit you has to calculate each receptacle at 180v even know there is only 120v
And about 1440 is less than 1080--------ooooopppsss----you right actually I mean 1080va is not more than 1440va.
How did I do this calculation?????
Well 6 receptacles x 180 volts = 1080va------why 180? Because is supposed to be best to calculate more that way you will never have a over load. Plus hey I still in school so don't expect everything I say is right.
Now 15a breaker x 120 volts x .80 = 1440va. And I supposed you know what the .80 is right?
See 1080+ 4.5 (cillin fan) = 1084.5 or 1085va still this is lass than 1440va
than's every one help.
And I hope I have everything right this time
OK First off the 180 va only applies to commerical and indusrtial. Not counting the required outlets in a hoouse, kitchen, bath, laundry, the code has no requirements on the number of outlets on a breaker. That being said, local codes may, and do apply. Also, the .80 only applies to continuous loads, which in a house are also usually unheard of. You can load the 15 amp breaker to the full 1800 watts if you so desire. If you have only six outlets and a fan with lights you will be fine with 15 amp breaker and #14 wireUnless you are putting heaters, and coffee pots and such on this circuit. Anymore questions, just ask!

My Bradford and Bingley mortgage
I have had a Bradford and Bingley mortgage since 1983. And I am getting slightly angry about my current image.
Am I a buy-to-let borrower, who has self-certified wildly inflated assets and an improbable salary, and is just about to walk away from my buy-to-let property rather than keep up the mortgage payments I could never have afforded anyway? Not I'm not. I was an old fashioned B and B saver, who bought her first flat in London 25 years ago, traded up in Cambridge when she met her husband and then again 15 years ago.
I went through all the old fashioned questions they used to put to you about your assets, and I didn't fib. After all they got in touch with your employer, so how could you tell a whopper?
When demutualization came in 2000 we voted against it, in what was a hard-fought battle with the carpet baggers who wanted to turn the B and B into a bank. We weren't great economic geniuses, but it didn't take much common sense to see that the interests of most savers and investors were better off with a mutual. How could they not have been? Though Mr Brown was hardly in evidence then, when we needed him. He was all in favour of the demutualisation, wasn't he?
So why did we stay with the B and B after that?
Simple. Because the staff were wonderful and they had always been nice to us, at the counter.
I'm not quite sure how the B and B did it. But unlike the Halifax, which put up security grilles and taught their staff to growl at all-comers, the B and B taught their staff to be nice to you – across a counter where there was no wire fence separating the cashier from the customer.
For a time, when we were extending our house, we went into the local branch a lot withdrawing money to pay the builders. They ended up inviting us to their Christmas party.
Only a few months ago, on some earlier bit of bad news, I was in there – rather guiltily -- withdrawing some of my paltry savings in a fit of anxiety. I witnessed exactly the kind of service that had kept me loyal.
An elderly lady (by which I mean a good bit older than me) had come in to withdrew all of her cash. It became obvious from the conversation that she had more than one option. She had planned an instant withdrawal, which would clearly have lost her a lot of money. The other option, which she had not considered, was some kind of transfer, which would have freed her from the B and B, but kept her accumulated interest. The cashier, no doubt risking her job (I imagine they are forbidden from giving this kind of advice) was not trying to persuade her to keep her money in the B and B, but to consider better ways of leaving…. She was kind and patient in the face of near hysteria; and eventually the old lady left, to ring up her financial advisor and get some help.
It was just like the old mutual B and B, which we should never have lost.
Meanwhile, if anyone would like to give me some suggestions about my mortgage I now have with the government (or is it Northern Rock?), about one fifth the value of my house, with 10 years to run, I'd be very grateful.

New Jeep Owner here
I've been lurking around on this board for awhile, researching Jeeps and getting to know their quirks and such from owners. After a few weeks of that, I decided the wrangler was a good vehicle fit for me. I just bought an 08 Wrangler X today and I am loving it. I had to drive a little to get the one I wanted, so I put in some highway time. It seemed like a perfect balance between ruggedness and on road manners and I was very pleased considering my trade in was a Mustang GT.
We require pictures from all new members. :D
Congrats! Once it warms up some more, your gonna love it more than that silly ol' Ford. I know I'm going to be enjoying the topless-ness in about a month on a camp out. :D
Congrats on the purchase of your new Wrangler.
I pick up my 08 Tomorrow!
I've had it for three days now, and sorry, I haven't stopped driving long enough - 500 miles so far - to take pictures. I thought I might have some trouble switching from a low riding car to the Jeep, but honestly, now I'm wondering why anyone would drive anything else. I know people don't buy wranglers for the gas mileage, but it isn't too bad at all, very similar to the 'stang on the highway.
The gas is not bad (not good either), until you start personalizing. Tires, lift,etc........

Re: Planet found orbiting around FOUR suns
Yu're missing the point about hot Jupiters. Before our recent spurt of exoplanet finding we were fairly convinced they couldn't exist. The fact that we've found so many shows our original models of planetary formation were way off.

Re: Planet found orbiting around FOUR suns
1 out of 4 planets being hot giant when they are hundreds to thousands of times easier to spot shows the ratio is low, actually, and will only drop as our detection methods will improve.
Dude you are missing the point! For the last time, I'm not talking about the ratio of hot giants to other planets. I'm talking about the ratio of hot giants to STARS. So far, it looks like nearly EVERY FUCKING STAR has at least one hot giant. That means our theories on solar system evolution are sorely lacking in some areas.
Again, work doesn't come from nowhere. Do read it, Jupiter moved the other 3, being much more massive. You want to move Jupiter? Congratulations, you need something far more massive to impart energy to destabilize it away from Sun's gravity well. The link you posted replaces my work assumption of single massive planet with millions of planetesimals, precisely to explain point you failed to address: that something must pay for moving Jupiter away from Sun, orbital resonance isn't magical free energy generator.
I never failed to address anything. I never denied that Jupiter was affected. You are quite correct that Jupiter lost momentum and thus, moved to a bigger orbit. That is exactly how this whole cosmic furniture re-arranging began! Jupiter and Saturn reached a 1:2 resonance which shook the whole thing up. All the outer planets (Jupiter included) shifted even further in their orbits and lost energy (speed) as a result. Some, like Uranus and Neptune, lost more energy than the others.
Think about it for a second, you think the resonance stopped? Nope. Then why the giant planets don't move? Because there is no more easy energy to be tapped to move them, unlike what you posted. That's why also all the hot Jupiters stayed in place - no magical energy to be tapped, planet can't move.
Yes of course the resonance stopped, why the fuck do you think the solar system has remained relatively stable for the last 3.5 billion years? All the resonances that mean a damn bled away excess energy from the planets that were in the resonances, shifted the orbits, and now things are as they were back when the whole thing ended. There's nothing magical about it, it's fucking gravity. Certainly far less magical than your dumb idea of an invisible brown dwarf.
Come to think of it, what are you trying to argue anyways? Are you trying to argue that the Nice model is incorrect? Are you trying to argue that orbital resonances are incapable of doing any substantial kind of work? Are you trying to argue that hot Jupiters are rare (which clearly they're not)?
You will be assimilated...bunghole!

text: JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Jan. 8, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- As a child, your mother may have told you, "Eat your carrots. They're good for your eyes." Was your mother right, or was that just her way of getting you to eat your vegetables? On the new edition of Healthy Vision TM with Dr. Val Jones, optometrist, author and President of the Ocular Nutrition Society, Jeffrey Anshel, O.D., and leading nutrition researcher Elizabeth Johnson, Ph.D., join Dr. Val to talk about nutrition and its impact on vision and eye health. "Advice about nutrition and how it affects your vision and eye health can be confusing," says Dr. Anshel. "One day a report tells us that a certain food or supplement is good for us; the next day another report tells us that it is not. But what can be said, without contradiction, is that the foods we eat (or don't eat) play a major role in all aspects of health." "When we think about foods and nutrients that are good for your eyes, it's going to be many of the same things that are good for your heart, your bones, your kidneys, and for your overall health," says Dr. Johnson. "That's a diet high in fruits and vegetables, and high in antioxidant nutrients, which are important as we age. But, no one food is going to give you everything you need." On this podcast, the two experts review what nutrients are important for your eyes, why they are important, and how much of them we should be taking in as part of our overall diet. Additionally, Drs. Anshel and Johnson offer advice about vitamins and nutritional supplements – who may need them, when to take them, and how to choose the right ones for you.
