Menubar Countdown, my Mac OS X countdown timer application, has been tested with 10.6 Snow Leopard, and it seems to work just fine.
(But if anyone finds otherwise, please let me know.)
The Mac App Guide video podcast has reviewed my Menubar Countdown application. The review includes a demonstration of how to use it.
My Menubar Countdown application uses an NSStatusItem to display itself in the menu bar. I recently had to add a custom view to that status item, and thought I'd share what I learned about the process here.
Menubar Countdown is a simple countdown timer that displays itself on the right side of the Mac OS X menu bar.
Version 1.2 has these new features:
To download the application or get more information, see the Menubar Countdown product page.
When I released Menubar Countdown 1.1, I whipped up an application icon by simply taking a screenshot of the menu bar and cropping it. The application icon looked like this:
Fugly, eh? Not only is it ugly, but the narrow shape makes it hard to recognize as an icon, and makes it hard to click.
For version 1.2, I wanted a better icon. I thought an hourglass would be a good symbol, so after a few hours of looking at images on the web and dinking around in Photoshop Elements, I wound up with this:
I'm was very happy with it. Unfortunately, the hourglass image is based upon a photo I licensed from iStockphoto. iStockphoto considers an application icon to be the same as a logo or trademark, and such usage is expressly prohibited by their licenses. I'm not a lawyer, but I assume this is to prevent someone from putting a stock image into a logo and then suing all the other users of that image for trademark infringement.
So, I again went to the web, to look for public-domain images I could use. I eventually wound up with this:
I don't like it as much as the last one, but I've decided I've spent too much time on my application icon, and not enough time on making the application better, so this will be the icon for version 1.2. Maybe I'll revisit it for the next version.
I remember the good old days when a Macintosh application icon was a 32x32 black-and-white bitmap. Those were pretty easy for a non-artist like me to create, using simple tools like ResEdit. Now, this stuff is better left in the hands of professional designers, but Menubar Countdown is free, so I trust users will be satisfied with my amateurish effort.
If there are any real designers out there who would like to give me a better icon, I'd definitely appreciate it.
Since releasing Menubar Countdown, my little Mac OS X timer app, I've received some nice feedback and suggestions for improvement. I'm going to list them here, both so that I can find them later, and to let others leave their own suggestions.
I'm not going to implement very many of these, if any. What I like about Menubar Countdown is its simplicity, both in terms of user interface and in terms of implementation. It's only a couple hundred lines of code, and I'd like to keep it that way.
I've released an update to my Menubar Countdown application.
See http://capablehands.net/story/menubarcountdown/announce/v1.1 for details.
Lately, I've been experimenting with the Pomodoro Technique for time management. The basic idea is that you work in focused 25-minute bursts, with short breaks between bursts. You are supposed to use a kitchen timer to avoid getting distracted by looking at the clock.
Of course, as a computer guy I'd like my timer to be on my computer. I looked around for a Mac application that would provide an unobtrusive 25-minute countdown timer, but I didn't find any that I liked. So I decided to write my own.
Menubar Countdown is the result of that effort. It displays a countdown timer on the right side of the menu bar. It has menu items that allow you the user to start, stop, or resume the timer.
There are three options for what you want to happen when the timer reaches 00:00:00:
It's free software, distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License.
Source code is included. Other neophyte Cocoa programmers might find it useful as an example of using such classes as NSStatusBar, NSStatusItem and NSUserDefaultsController, or for measuring absolute time in a Mac application.
You can download the application from my snazzy new corporate web site: Menubar Countdown product page.

Isn't that how you expect us to call the Brujah? Mere malcontents, unable to appreciate or even comprehend the value of organized society? Rebels who call for the fall of whatever social order exists without so much as a plausible alternative? Oh, you hear them wail and moan every now and then about the lost glory of Carthage. How it was the Ventrue that led to the downfall of that model society. But mostly you hear them screaming, rousing the unenlightened masses to rebellion, mouthing catchphrases that stir the blood but lack any semantic content whatsoever.
Isn't that what you expect me to say? In that case, I must disappoint you.
Even the most unfocused of the Brujah exist because they fight against whatever social constraints bind them, bind their much-vaunted freedom. In my view, that is their most useful trait. Within that mass of rabble is a powerful force of change. The Brujah force us to adapt. They keep us honest. It is easy to say that the Brujah run the danger of falling off that edge they so enjoy living on, but it is up to the rest of us to make sure there is an edge for them to teeter upon.
The Brujah are among the most charismatic Kindred you will ever find, which makes them ideal choices for leading a revolution, even if only as figureheads, as long as they are not aware that that is all they are. No one liberates a city from Sabbat rule like the Brujah can. While they enjoy their war victories, the smokescreen of celebration allows us to set up a hierarchy of our choosing unnoticed.
Occasionally, a Brujah whose manipulative skill and vision match her charisma emerges from the rabble. These are the true agents of change, my friends, change that leaves both Kindred and kine breathless in its wake. Watch out for these individuals. These are the self-appointed saviors, the ones that herald the new Carthage, a society where all sentient beings exists in equality, and in complete freedom.
It is so refreshing to find such idealism, unhindered and unconcerned by stark reality. And they go about it with such fervor, such passion that is the Brujah trademark -- and the Brujah weakness. Let them run as far as we require them to, then tighten the leash.
There are so many ways to do just that. A well-timed word easily brings about a frenzy that can tear everything around a Brujah down -- including everything she holds dear.
The Brujah will fight order if they perceive that it brings even the slightest constraint to their freedom. Make sure they are standing on that structure when they tear it down themselves. For nothing frustrates a Brujah more than a failure they think they have brought upon themselves.

My understanding is that you believe that David knew about the word "ari" as lion, but you want proof that he would have been using it too. Ezekiel only has the word once, but you seem to believe that he used the word. I assume that you believe that David read the word in the Bible in Numbers 23 and 24, so there is no question that he knew it, just if he actually used it. When I showed you 1 Samuel 17 with three quotes by David using the word, you said it might not be accurate. I think you have made it very difficult to prove that he would use that word. I am not sure how many times Judges has the word ari, but you accept that it was used by that writer.
I can't argue about something impossible to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt when you only seem to doubt it in Psalms, but not everywhere else the word is used.

I have been sewing for 9 years now and absolutely LOVE it. I cannot get enough. I have 3 projects going right now. I love to sew for myself. I remember when I was learning I enjoyed the whole process. I never felt frustrated or stressed, even though there were frustrating things that happened. I had the same problems that everyone in the class had, but I just really had fun. When the class ended, I continued to teach myself and have continued to do that. I feel that I am still learning and I just have so much fun doing it. If anything, sewing has always been a stress reliever for me. You are going to think I am crazy, but here it goes: About 5 years ago I learned a little crocheting, but the whole time I was learning I felt stressed out. It was like I wanted to enjoy it but I really did not enjoy the process of learning. I put it down, picked it back up, and put it down. It was like I felt driven to learn because other people could do it so I felt like I should too. Now I am doing the same thing with knitting. I have been teaching myself and can do the knitting and purling now. I am not good at it because I have only been teaching myself for a week. I am really not enjoying the process. I just feel DRIVEN to learn it because I think if other people can do it, I should too. It does not relieve stress--it is causing me stress. Did any of you ever feel this way or did you enjoy the whole process of learning? I am wondering if maybe I am just not cut out for knitting. Maybe I should just stick with sewing. I think maybe I am just in love with the idea of being able to knit well and not the actual craft. On the one hand, I feel if I don't learn to knit, one day I will regret not learning. On the other hand, I wish I didn't want to learn. Any thoughts from anyone?
Honestly, I think I understand where you are coming from. I have it a little backwards...I love to knit, loved to learn it, love to do it, but I can't sew to save my life. The difference between you and me is that I never really wanted to learn to sew. Sure, I think it would be useful if I knew how to do it now and again, but I don't feel any real drive to learn it. It's just not in me to do it. You, on the other hand, really seem to want to learn knitting. I will tell you what I think, but I'm not an expert of any kind, so take it or leave it. I think you were shocked at how much at home and in love you were with sewing. I think you are expecting the same sudden rush from learning a craft with knitting, so you feel stressed out because you aren't getting it right away. I understand that, I really do. I think though that, maybe, if you sit back and take a breathe and really think about why you want to knit. If you want to knit because you love the product then go for it. You can sew, and since you seem to want to knit, I really think you can do it. On the other hand, if it is just a thing about doing because you feel like you should, then let go of it, if you can. It's not worth getting stressed about. Personally, knitting is better for me then my anxiety meds. I think you have to be doing it for the right reason for it to feel good. You can learn. Anyone can. The question is, whether you should learn. The only way you should learn is if you truly want to, not if you are doing it because you feel obligated in some way, even if by your own standards or competitiveness.
So, that's my advice. Knitting does take practise. It doesn't go smoothly at first for anyone I've ever met. But, if you choose to do it then I think you will find that, after you've practised, it's a wonderful thing. Don't let yourself stress though. That's not what crafts are about! I hope I helped! I really, really do.
The way you feel about sewing is how I feel about knitting. I absolutely love it. Mistakes and all. I can't wait to try new things and have a few projects going at once.
It sounds like knitting's just not your "thing", and you shouldn't do something that doesn't truly make you happy. You shouldn't feel like you have to do it because others do.
I was that way with scrap booking. I hate it. I wanted to learn it, but I just couldn't bring myself to really do it. I got no joy from it at all. I felt like my family does it and I have 4 kids so I should really be doing this, but it just wasn't for me. I have no regrets giving it up, and it gives me more time to knit!
If you're truly not happy, stick to your sewing. IMO a craft should be something that brings you happiness and peace and reduces your stress, not adds to it.
Hope that helps!
That is some stuff to ponder, blessedtosew. I would say right off, that if knitting is frustrating you and you aren't enjoying it much, then maybe you should put it down and keep sewing. Most people have so little free time that pursuing a hobby you don't enjoy doesn't seem like a very logical thing to do. I certainly wouldn't learn it out of competitiveness, as NovemberGypsy said.
Now having said that, I find that although I love knitting, and for me, it is a major stress reliever, there are times when I haven't been able to figure out a technique or a pattern and it has frustrated me. In fact I have a project on the needles right now that I have been working on intermittently because it is rather difficult. It took me quite a while just to figure out that the stitch pattern was written in a weird way. I don't know how many times I recast that on. I put it down for quite awhile and went to a different project, and then came back to it when I was feeling more like it would be a challenge than a frustration. I discovered that putting it down for awhile made it a lot less of a frustration, although it is still not an easy pattern.
So I guess, if you want, you might continue to pursue knitting for awhile, but take breaks and work on your sewing when you fell frustrated. Come back to it later, and see if it's more enjoyable. If it doesn't get enjoyable after trying this a few times, then maybe sewing monogamy is for you.
I am wondering, though, if you are a perfectionist, and you are frustrated because your knitting doesn't look perfect, then it will get better with time and practice. And if you are using inexpensive materials, try splurging if you can, on a skein of nice soft wool or alpaca or something like that, and some really good needles, and try knitting with those. You might be amazed how much more enjoyable it is!
Good luck,Marria
Hi, since you learned to sew in a class, maybe you would find it helpful to try learning to knit with other people. Do you have a LYS that you could get some help from or maybe you know someone(s) that would work with you? Just a thought.
Thank all of you for your responses. I am a perfectionist---my family doctor told me that one time. It is because the stitches aren't perfect that I am getting frustrated. As I have read your responses, I have come to the conclusion that what made sewing initially so enjoyable for me was that I was in a class with other people and I could see that I wasn't the only one making mistakes. By the time I got through with the class, I could do the basics well enough that I just kept at it. Unfortunately, I live in a very small town and there is no knitting class. The sewing class I took was taught by a friend of mine who knew of several of us who couldn't sew and wanted to learn. She took one night a week and we met for about 4 hours and she taught us. We met for 1.5 years, and because we were all friends, we not only sewed but we brought food and ate, talked, and just had a great time of fellowship. I do think it is fun to do the stitches on the knitting needles. I am just stressing out because the stitches are "perfect". I am going to try to relax.
Blessedtosew, I was frustrated until I found the knitting videos on this site. That changed everything for me because I could play them over and over until I understood. I was very stressed in the beginning and really hated knitting until I learned continental style. The process of throwing the yarn over the left hand needle in right hand knitting seemed to contribute to the messiness of my stitches. I did a lot of practicing and now I love it. I've even done two sweaters and only learned to knit last summer. BTW I used to get majorly stressed when I'd sew. I only did it to make clothes for myself (especially when pregnant) so I admire your talent!
I had a devil of a time getting knitting down. Mom taught me to crochet when I was a little tyke, but not knitting. I was so clumsy with those two needles. I gave up lots of times, but then I go back and look at patterns I really liked and it ticked me off that I couldn't do them b/c I couldn't knit. So I'd go back to the drawing board again. Yes I got frustrated and stressed out - many times. But at a certain point, I refused to let it beat me. That was about four years ago. Now, I rarely crochet and LOVE to knit! It is relaxing for me now, but it sure wasn't then. I practiced and practiced and practiced. Some people take to it like a fish to water. I wasn't one of those.
The videos on here helped me tremendously. The other thing that has made a huge difference in my knitting is my knitting group. We've been meeting for about 3 years now and have grown very close. I believe you can search for groups in your local area (yahoo and ravelry). That may be something to check into as well as classes at a local yarn store.
If you choose to stick with it, you'll get lots of help here. But at some point if it's still more frustrating and stressful than enjoyable, you may decide knitting just isn't for you. Good luck!
Crocheting was the same for me. I wanted to love it, but I never did. Then I got into knitting and I was totally stressed out until, I found out I ould learn on the web (I am a visual learner and need videos). This web site and the folks here have helped alot so I don't feel that I am in the void. I am now working on two patterns; a jumper (sweater) and a shawl that I couldn't get past the third row until recently. So now I know that if I have a question, I come here or do a search. If that doesn't help, then I come here and ask.
Trust me, I can relate. I am a recovering perfectionist.
If you do choose to keep knitting, trust me, the stitches will look better with practice. This is almost totally related to tension, and getting tension even is one of the hardest things to do when you are first learning to knit (in my opinion.) This is because unlike knitting "techniques" there are no step by step instructions for getting tension down. And different people hold their yarn different. It just takes practice, practice, practice!
Does your town have any big box stores like a Michaels or Joann? They do tend to have classes. Or do you have a knitting friend that could help you? It sounds like part of the fun of sewing for you has been being able to socialize and have fun with your friends. Maybe you could start a knitting circle and learn with others, even if you are all beginners and learn from videos or books. I still think in this case you could help each other learn. Maybe you could even try this with your sewing friends.
I was taught crocheting at age 4 by my grandmother, and sewing by my mother at the same age. In the almost (but not quite!) 50 years since, I have made a living from and had a lot of joy out of sewing, crocheting, crafts like jewelry and beading and whatever caught my fancy.
But I could never get the hang of knitting. I wanted to knit. I even longed to knit. I loved the look of knitting. But it just wouldn't stick in my brain, even though I knew how to stitch a knit and a purl. Projects would live on the needles for about two years, and eventually I'd throw it out.
This last New Year's, though, in the middle of a terrible cold snap in the UK, I wanted a very long, very warm, preferably merino wool scarf, and when I found a "weekend" cabled scarf and then realized how far available yarns had come (I had been trying to learn knitting in the days of basically five kinds of yarn and one or two kinds of needles), I realized that I could knit what I wanted on bulky merino yarns and large, beautifully made needles that helped instead of hindered, and get it done really quickly.
So I did. Now my family thinks I'm obsessed, and I guess I am! I LOVE knitting, finally, after all these years!
Previously, I'd always tried to teach myself on acrylic yarns and cheap needles, figuring that I shouldn't waste money on something I was just learning. Working on lovely fiber and nice tools on New Year's Eve, I suddenly had this epiphany: I am a total tool and fiber snob. When I sew, I work mainly with nice fabrics in beautiful fibers (I specialized in silk wedding gowns), and with the best tools I can afford. The same goes with every craft I've ever done.
What the heck, I realized, had I been thinking?! No wonder it never stuck: I had tried working on projects that I felt were boring, in fibers I normally wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole, on tools that were so basic I might as well have made them myself out of twigs...if twigs were made of plastic.
So now when people ask me about learning a craft (most recently, of course, since I've been taking knitting with me everywhere, knitting), I tell them: don't work on projects that you don't love. Only choose projects and materials and tools that you love. If you love the project and materials, it will carry you through the boring and/or frustrating bits.
If you love an inexpensive acrylic yarn, great! If you love your plastic bargain-store needles, FABULOUS! I'm not saying you have to be a tool or fiber snob like me. But love what you're using, in a project that you adore.
It's the only thing that gets me through the umpteenth frog to go back and fix the row with bad tension.
Hope that might help you!
Oh and BTW: are you on Ravelry as well as here? If you aren't, get yourself an invitation and JOIN A GROUP OR SIX! It can be like a virtual Stitch'n'Bitch group if you pick the right ones, with interests that you share, and you can then pick group members brains for answers to your problems -- which, of course, you can also do here. You can research patterns and yarns, finding out what works for what quite easily, as well as what doesn't work.
And do use the vids here, as others have suggested. They've saved my bacon many a time!

Computer tech Liam Cooper arrived in Los Angeles following the death of his mother, Kelly Cooper, who said he could find his father at design house Forrester Creations. Both Thorne Forrester and publishing magnate Bill Spencer, Jr. had dated Kelly, so they submitted to a DNA test; Liam chafed when the more aggressive Bill turned out to be his father. Liam made the adjustment with the help of Hope Logan, which led to a sweet romance, during which Liam fended off the advances of Hope's rival, Steffy Forrester.
After a misunderstanding with Hope, Liam got drunk at a party and hit his head, waking up next to Amber Moore, who soon claimed she was carrying Liam's baby. Liam and Hope went through a dizzying array of breakups and makeups trying to decide what was best for the child, and Liam faced competition from Hope's ex-boyfriend, Oliver Jones. Liam suffered a concussion in an explosion caused by Amber's pilot light; months later, Liam realized he'd been duped when Amber gave birth to an African-American baby, barely stopping Hope from accepting Oliver's marriage proposal.
When Hope wanted to stay a virgin until her wedding night, Liam became frustrated and publicly proposed to Hope during a showing for her Hope for the Future fashion collection. Liam saved Steffy, who fell in her bathtub and nearly drowned; Liam resisted when Steffy became amorous and let him know she was sexually available. After Liam kissed Steffy and came home to find Hope's engagement ring on his mantel, Liam gave the ring to Steffy and took her to Aspen, exchanging vows with her there during a surprise wedding.
Liam later found out that Hope had seen him kissing Steffy but followed him to Aspen to make things right, only to be locked in a gondola by a disapproving Bill and forced to watch Liam's wedding. Liam wanted to return to Hope but felt obligated to stay with Steffy, who was suffering from a life-threatening blood clot as the result of being thrown from an ATV in Cabo San Lucas. Though Liam forgave Steffy for conspiring with Bill in Aspen, Liam raged upon learning Bill had faked Steffy's MRI to manipulate him into staying with Steffy. Liam asked Steffy for an annulment and was about to marry Hope until Steffy announced she wanted to hold out for a proper divorce.
Liam moved Hope in with him, but was concerned when she became increasingly erratic after freezing up in bed. Liam saved Hope from drowning in the Forrester pool, upset to find she'd been taking excessive doses of antianxiety pills so she could make love to him. After Hope crashed into Steffy on the slopes of Aspen, the furious Liam tended to Steffy and tore up the annulment papers she'd finally agreed to sign.
About to marry Hope in Puglia, Italy, Liam found a note from the absent Hope which declared she couldn't go through with it. Liam professed his love to Steffy, relenting when Hope explained she had been delayed by the sudden appearance of her estranged father, Deacon Sharpe. Liam finally married Hope, but after she saw a video of him kissing Steffy he'd accidentally taken with his iPad, Liam agreed to give Hope a "do-over" wedding. But Liam partied with Steffy the night before and showed up for Hope's ceremony with dyed hair and a temporary tattoo, so Liam found himself single again, soon finding his way back to Steffy.
Liam raged to learn that Hope's brother, Rick Forrester, had told Hope that Liam kissed Steffy before the do-over, and that Bill broke Deacon out of jail to ruin the Puglia wedding. Liam punched Rick and disowned Bill, relenting when Bill stabbed himself with his sword necklace; Liam didn't know Bill cushioned the blow with his money pouch. When Hope wanted Liam back, Liam asked for time to think but walked into a surprise wedding that Steffy interrupted with news she was pregnant. Liam married Steffy instead in a unique ceremony where she roared down the aisle on a motorcycle; Liam asked Steffy to stop riding until after the baby was born and was inconsolable when Steffy had an accident and miscarried. Liam questioned why Steffy suddenly moved to Paris until he followed her there and learned that the accident had left her barren.
Liam tentatively moved on with Hope, who was also seeing Wyatt Fuller. Liam was shocked to learn that Wyatt was his half-brother through a fling Bill once had with Quinn Fuller, but that didn't stop Liam from punching Wyatt for kissing Hope. Liam scrambled to explain when Hope saw a video tribute Liam made for Steffy, realizing Quinn had hacked into his e-mail in an attempt to push Hope toward Wyatt. Getting Hope down the aisle, Liam was surprised when Steffy arrived, telling him she could have children again thanks to a procedure she had done overseas. Liam wished Steffy well but had to follow Hope to Hawaii when she ran off with Wyatt; though Liam explained Quinn had convinced Steffy to see him, Liam flew home alone.
When Liam found security footage that showed Wyatt pocketing the rare "Hope for the Future" diamond he said he'd rescued from jewel thieves, Liam crashed Hope's camping trip with Wyatt and exposed him, but only after he managed to escape being trapped in an elevator by Quinn. Liam cringed when he came upon houseguest Bill having raucous S&M sex with Quinn. Later, after hearing about Hope's pregnancy scare, Liam lured Hope into Wyatt's camper and drove off, trying to convince Hope to date both of them. Having been locked in the Forrester steam room by Quinn, Liam won Hope when Wyatt socked him for calling Quinn an evil bitch.
Liam barely survived when Quinn stabbed him with his sword necklace, then tried to impale him with the real thing. Though Liam was grateful to Wyatt for saving him, their brief truce ended when Wyatt presented Hope with the HFTF diamond at a press conference. Liam walked out on Hope, but agreed to meet her in Paris to get married under the Eiffel Tower. En route, Liam was delayed saving jewelry designer Ivy Forrester, who had fallen into the River Seine. After Hope married Wyatt instead, Liam learned Quinn had pushed Ivy into the Seine on purpose, but Hope decided to stay with Wyatt because she was carrying his baby, so Liam moved on with Ivy during a romantic trip to Amsterdam and talked to Ivy's father, John Forrester, about his intentions. Liam found the pregnant Hope at the bottom of a staircase after she argued with the obsessive Quinn; Liam and Hope admitted they'd always love each other after Hope miscarried and decided to move to Milan.
Enraged that new Forrester CEO Rick was tormenting Ivy, Liam devised a takeover plot involving his father's 12.5% stake in the company, but Steffy would only contribute her 25% if Liam came back to her. Instead, Liam worked with Wyatt and found out that Rick's mistress, Maya Avant, was transgender; Liam and Wyatt were aghast when Bill published an exposé on Maya over the brothers' objections. Liam became vice president of Forrester when his plan to combine Bill's stock with that of Steffy's family was successful.
Just as Liam's feelings for Steffy resurfaced, Liam agreed to marry the Australian Ivy, who was facing deportation, in name only. Though Ivy's cousin, Aly Forrester, who had a history of mental illness stemming from the traumatic death of her mother in childhood, died in a violent confrontation with Steffy, Liam dumped Ivy at Aly's memorial. Liam defended Steffy against Ivy, who was trying to blackmail Steffy with a video that made it seem Steffy had killed Aly. After Liam brokered a truce between the feuding cousins, Liam stumbled upon information that his own cousin, Caroline Spencer, was not carrying the child of her husband, Ridge Forrester, but Liam agreed to keep quiet.
Liam withdrew from Steffy as she insisted on telling Wyatt that new girlfriend Ivy was kissing her brother, Thomas Forrester, behind Wyatt's back; though Liam had rebuffed Ivy's attempt at a reconciliation, Liam walked out on Steffy after her battles with Ivy left Ivy electrocuted and suffering from a concussion. Liam suffered his own concussion when he escorted the departing Ivy onto her plane and hit his head in its lavatory; when Liam came home dizzy from his inadvertent flight to Australia, he found Steffy cuddling in bed with Wyatt and broke off his engagement to her without explaining why.
Collapsing in the Forrester parking lot and sustaining another head injury, an amnesiac Liam woke up in a cabin to find Quinn taking care of him. Believing Quinn's story that they were married couple Adam and Eve, Liam made love to Quinn and told her he loved her as she confided in him about her neglectful mother and once losing a child. Still combating nausea, dizziness, and headaches, Liam answered Quinn's phone, not recognizing Steffy's voice on the other end. Though happy with "Eve," Liam wanted to know more about their life together, finding answers in a photo album that displayed doctored wedding photos.
Growing increasingly frustrated about his impaired memory, Liam began having memory flashes of Steffy. Just as Liam was about to travel the world with Quinn, Wyatt rushed in, which gave Liam total recall. Liam escaped when Wyatt helped him lock Quinn in a closet, but Liam was stunned to learn that Steffy had married Wyatt in his absence. Liam had Quinn arrested, but dropped the charges when Quinn's attorney reminded Liam his sexual relations with Quinn had been consensual and that it would be nearly impossible to make his case stick.
Liam subdued an intruder in his home thinking it was Quinn, but it turned out to be the reverend who married Wyatt and Steffy. Liam was sure the reverend was a fraud until Bill confirmed his legitimacy; when Liam refused to give up on Steffy, Bill's threat to cut him off from the family forced him to respect Steffy's marriage. Liam admired Bill's commitment to his own wife, Katie Logan, until Liam discovered the secret love nest Bill was sharing with Katie's sister, Brooke Logan. Liam blasted his father and then turned his attention toward Steffy, who was having a hard time keeping Quinn away from her. Liam was as horrified as Steffy when Quinn romanced Steffy's grandfather, Eric Forrester, yet Liam remained hopeful that Quinn's constant presence would send Steffy running back to him.
Liam was intrigued when Ivy came back from Australia sporting sexier clothes, an American accent, and a new boldness that resulted in Liam receiving a kiss from Ivy. But when Steffy left Wyatt over refusing to keep secret the fact that Quinn held new husband Eric's power of attorney while he was hospitalized following a brain hemorrhage, Liam happily took Steffy back. However, when Eric and Quinn wanted to make Steffy CEO of Forrester, Liam warned Steffy it was a ploy to push her and Wyatt back together; Liam also cautioned Katie about Quinn's true colors when Katie remarked that buying a house next to Eric seemed to make Quinn irrationally jealous.
Liam felt encouraged when Ridge confided that he had a plan to get rid of Quinn, but was confused when Ridge later abandoned it. Frustrated by Eric and Quinn's ploy to reunite Steffy and Wyatt, Liam got tired of waiting for Steffy to tell Wyatt to back off and headed for the airport, where he learned from Steffy that Wyatt had fast-tracked their divorce. After Liam and Steffy became engaged, Liam was intrigued by Ivy's suggestion that they marry in Australia in a double wedding with Ridge and Brooke. Liam couldn't believe it when Steffy zip-lined into their ceremony in front of the Sydney Opera House and stayed behind with Steffy Down Under for their honeymoon.
When Forrester's old rival, Spectra Fashions, revived and stole Forrester designs, Liam figured out that the bad review Spencer Publications had published about designer Sally Spectra's original work had actually been written by Bill, who wanted to bulldoze Spectra to put up another skyscraper. Liam told Steffy, who disapproved of Sally and her relationship with her brother, Thomas, but Liam was happy that Steffy chose to be truthful with Thomas, even after Liam's revelation caused Thomas to invest $100,000 in Spectra to save it from the wrecking ball.

Yay! This is *sniff* THE LAST DRABBLE! Aww…well, it's GillxAkari, with some minor (and I mean minor) LukexKathy. All I can say is, I hope y'all like it! But I have a warning: this chapter is kind of clichéd…not like the others weren't, but this one is too…
Disclaimer: I do not own Harvest Moon.
"Gill-y! I need you!" Akari called with a sing-song voice. She was stationed next to a Christmas tree, the main centerpiece in a home that glowed with seasonal cheer.
"Akari!" The mayor's son popped up next to his girlfriend, "What did we say about calling me that?"
"You said that I could make that your nickname as long as I don't mention it in public. There isn't anybody else here, so I thought it would be cool." She turned to face Gill, her 'puppy dog eyes' ready to weaken the man she loved.
"Uh…I guess it's ok." He mumbled, desperately trying to avoid eye contact by looking down at his shoes and fixing the sleeve on his sweater, "Just don't say it…when anybody's listening."
"That's my Gill-y!" She yelped, piquing up onto her tip-toes in order to kiss him – but just barely. She really didn't need much extra height, for he was only a few centimeters taller than her.
The official dude blushed a deep crimson at the contact, before stuttering out "I need to go check on the cookies…" and quickly escaping to the kitchen.
On the other hand, Akari simply grinned and returned to her decorating. A few of their friends – ok, scratch that, practically everybody they knew – were coming over soon, and she needed to finish up and make sure the house was ready for the party. Gill was in charge of food, after the 'fish incident' ruined more than a wall, courtesy of Akari.
As the star was placed, a knock rang through the house, which the brunette promptly answered.
"Akari!" Luke called, high-fiving the farmer, while Kathy, who was holding his hand, smiled brightly at her friend. After the two had entered, everyone else filed in – Anissa, Candace, Julius, Selena, Renee, Toby, Bo, Luna, heck, even Jin came. Nobody was going to miss this.
The blonde pulled Akari over, "So, are you going to do it?"
"What are you talking about?" Akari hissed in response.
"You know." Kathy replied, "Getting down on one knee, pulling out a soft velvet box…"
"I don't know. I mean, I have the ring and all, but shouldn't the guy propose?"
"It's the 21st century, Akari, you can do this! Gill is a little snobby and acts like he's brave, but trust me – if you don't propose to him now, you're not going to get married for a few more years."
"Fine." The waitress smirked at the slightly reluctant response, "But when should I?"
"I say that when you're giving the toast would be the best."
"You think?"
"I'm positive. Now, go girl, you have some guests to greet! Luke and I will be watching!" Kathy pushed Akari off towards the partygoers, winking, before heading over to her boyfriend.
Akari, meanwhile, cursed at her, angry that she was about to go propose to her long-time boyfriend. What if he rejected her? That would be downright embarrassing.
Gill was over on the opposite side of the house, mildly talking with Luke. Well, it was more like a one-sided conversation between Luke and his imaginary advice-giving self, but, alas, Gill had been sucked in.
"So, dude, you just have to go and say, 'Akari, marry me!' Scream it! Tell the world! Let everyone know that you love her! And don't do that weird Gill-y thing where you get all embarrassed and chicken out."
"I have no idea what you're talking about. And since when did you call me Gill-y too?" He retorted, his face slightly flushed.
"See? You're doing it now. Oh, and the Gill-y nickname? I heard Akari call you that once and I thought it was funny so…you get it! But man, if you have the ring, give it to her and let her wear it! Now, I have to go talk to a certain someone. Don't forget though! At the toast! Ask her at the toast!" With that, the carpenter apprentice left to go 'talk' to Kathy, ignoring Gill's protests of "Why haven't you proposed to Kathy then?"
After another twenty minutes of urges to propose, the two gathered in front of the Christmas tree, each one being nervous beyond belief. Akari quietly tapped a glass, gathering all of no one's attention, except for Kathy and Anissa, who coughed extremely loudly, making everyone else fall silent.
"Ok then!" Akari said, "I just want to thank you all for coming here! You guys are amazing and I am so happy to have friends like you to share the holidays with…but, before I go one, there's something I want to ask."
"Actually, there is something that I wish to ask too." Gill replied.
"Err…ok. Who should go first?"
The females shrieked 'Akari!'
The males screamed 'Gill!'
"Seems like an even split."
"Ok. How about we both say it at the same time and decide whoever's question is more important?"
"That sound good."
"Ok then!" Luke yelled from the crowd, "On three! One…"
"Two!" A few more people joined in.
"Three!" Everyone was shouting now, all eagerly awaiting the reactions from the two.
"Would you marry me?" They both asked in unison, and the 'getting down on their knees at the same time' caused a bizarre collision.
"Happy Holidays to our new favorite couple!" Kathy and Luke replied.
Heh. Cheesy, I know. But I hope you all liked it!
So, here it goes: Happy Holidays everyone, no matter what you celebrate. I hope you all have a great new year, and want to thank anyone who reviewed/read/heck, even just looked at this when they were scrolling through fics. You guys are all awesome!
Please review! Tell me anything – what you're favorite ficlet was, which couple you liked the most, anything! Just give me some feedback!
And, if any of you want to continue one of these, go ahead!

Bruce Stanley of Embody has written a great article for Freelance Switch about figuring out what motivates you creatively. The article is targeting creative professionals, but that doesn't mean it can't apply to your personal projects.
He's put together a pretty good list of 5 possible motivations for your desire to be creative.
1. Competition – being the best or unique. What gets you up in the morning is the idea that what you will eventually deliver will be better than everyone else's. You like standing out from the crowd or coming first in the pack.
2. Process – building something step by step. You love being there behind the drawing board, notepad or wherever the working surface of your job takes you. Just doing what you do, practicing your skill is your motivation.
3. Product – seeing the finished article. Even before you've started you can imagine the task completed. Pictures on a wall, pots on a shelf, an album being played. The rest, making the thing, comes second.
4. Effect – the audiences appreciation of the product. What gets you out of bed, tackling those moments of low motivation is the idea that people will love and appreciate what you've made and that, somehow, you will get to hear some of that feedback.
5. Oversight – controlling the whole process or team. You can see all of the stages needed to bring an idea to production. Your motivation is to oversee all of the work and ensure that it all joins up. This tends to only apply to groups working together.
He describes each motivation's strengths and then points out possible pitfalls to be wary of, as well as some ways to steer your projects toward your strengths.
You can begin to restructure or craft your job to suit your particular strengths. Pick positions or tasks that naturally suit your motivation. Make the most of the stages of the job that you know you'll really enjoy. Find a balance between your intrinsic and extrinsic motivation if you use this model to enhance your commercial work. If you apply it to your leisure time creativity then intrinsic motivation is more important.
I think the ideas in Stanley's article have merit. For instance, I know that I'm a predominantly a Product person. I enjoy the feeling of having written more than I enjoy writing. I like to look at the finished page more than I like drawing it. So, knowing this, I have to focus on improving my process to make it easier and less daunting.
This is fairly easy to accomplish when making comics because the process has so many tangible milestones.
- Inventing the plot
- Writing the script
- Sketching the layout
- Penciling the page
- Inking the page
- Lettering the page
- Finishing the book (or season in my case)
There are many built in milestone and that makes it easy to step back and enjoy the feeling of having achieved one. It's somewhat more difficult when inserting artificial milestones into projects where they don't naturally occur.

As this week draws to a close it also marks my final week at Londolozi and I could not have asked for a better one to finish my time in the bush. Apart from some great sightings, it has allowed me to reflect on my four years at Londolozi and reminisce on some fantastic moments the bush has given me. With each sighting I had I could not help but think it might be the last time I would see that specific animal and so despite the sadness, I would mutter a silent goodbye under my breath.
We have also had a small amount of rain over the past week which has allowed for a light brush of vegetation to start breaking through. Let's all hope that this is the beginning of some more rain to come in the following weeks. I for one will be watching closely to see what the next few weeks and years have to hold in this incredibly special place.
Thank you to everyone. This has been a truly incredible chapter in my life and I will miss this place immensely.
And with that, I hope you all enjoy my final Week in Pictures…

Riot Games, the creator of League of Legends, pulled quite the April Fools joke the other day. When a player would normally play in a "blind pick", where 5 human players go against a team of 5 other human players, the other team would appear as "bots". Riot would then send out a message saying that this is for "advanced bot testing" and that people who leave or are AFK, away from keyboard, are subject to a penalty. In reality, Riot disabled the other team's chat and changed each of their human player's screen name to bot names. This caused huge confusion, and many players would leave the game thinking they chose the wrong mode. Consequentially, the player would be punished by having to wait 5 minutes before queuing in for the next 5 games.
Happy April Fools Day, Riot.

<quoted text>usually I wait until I post the last thing from a source before I put the link and since you beat me to it, I guess that I was through, you party pooper.
but those verses that I used and statements are different than what you did the other night when YOU copied some guys statement of affirmation.
since you began it with the words "I affirm", which would lead a normal thinking person to believe that it is your statement.
you try your best to "one up me", but you always fail.
BTW, how is your prayer life coming?

Great stuff, Nyjer schooling Elijah on how to avoid getting picked off. If anybody's an expert on getting picked off, it's Nyjer.
I hope your took your PEDS today Sosa. We need you to pitch for us.
I hate juicers
Morgan leads the MLB in times Caught Stealing (15) and he is giving advice to Elijah about not getting picked off. priceless
Two nights in a row his steals have led to runs.
Sometimes, you score anyway even if you don't steal. And if you get caught stealing or picked off, it's a double whammy - lose an out and lose a baserunner.

In this project we will build a bridge rectifier.
In short, take AC and turn it into DC.
For most alternative energy applications, we require a direct current (DC) voltage to be generated - for example to charge a bank of batteries. However wind turbines and wave power generators create an alternating current (AC) voltage. This is where the Bridge Rectifier comes in. The AC voltage generated is passed through a circuit of four diodes and emerges converted into the desired DC output.
Newbie special :)
Step 1: Parts List
- Jumpers
- 4 Diodes (1N4001)
- Load (led, fan, gadget)
- 10 minutes or less
*Blue component represents whatever it is you would like to place in the circuit.
Step 2: AC to DC - Arranging the Diodes
The most common function of a diode is to allow an electric current to pass in one direction (called the diode's forward direction), while blocking current in the opposite direction (the reverse direction).
- Take 4 diodes for example the 1N4007 rectiifer diodes.
- Pick two diodes, make an "L" of their two ends marked with the white bands (cathodes)
- Just as above do it for the remaining two diodes, this time with their ends having no bands (anodes)
- Now you have two sets of diode assemblies. Connect them in a box like the image of the circuit.

'Pumpkin' stars at Lakeside picnic
By Patty Kruszewski, Citizen Managing Editor 10/22/12
Former Lakeside Elementary School Principal Bill Pike was the star attraction at the L.E.S. fall picnic Oct. 11, drawing as many well-wishers as he did customers to his book-signing booth at the event.
Appropriately timed for trick-or-treat season, Pike's newly-published children's book, The Last Pumpkin, tells the story of a journey to select a pumpkin for Halloween. The story centers around the last-to-be-picked pumpkin, Keeper, and around themes of acceptance and love.
Joining Pike at the event were the book's publisher, former L.E.S. student Wayne Dementi, and illustrator Nell Chesley – like Pike, a long-time Henrico resident. Early in the evening, Dementi took a look at the long line of people waiting to get their books signed and observed, "This is a testimony to the endearing qualities of Bill Pike."
As if to back him up, one former parent stepped to the front of the line to greet Pike with a grin, and began to reminisce about the time he wore a ballerina's tutu to encourage academic achievement. The next parent to reach the front of the line, Denise Dysert, announced, "I'm buying [a book] for myself, and three for friends."
After the book-signing, Pike noted that 62 books were sold at the picnic, almost tying the event record of 65. But the book sales were secondary, said Pike, to his delight at "seeing familiar faces that I hadn't seen in awhile."
In addition to enjoying encounters with current students who came to the event, Pike said, he found it exciting to visit with students from the days when he was principal.
"It was amazing to see how much they had grown," he said, "and to learn about their journeys in high school."
On the day before the event, Pike also enjoyed being a part of the school's morning announcements and reading the book in three classrooms. "That was a lot of fun," said Pike, "as the students really displayed good listening skills."
A long-time elementary school educator, Pike worked in Virginia public and private schools from 1975 thru 2010, spending 27 years in Henrico County as teacher, assistant principal, and principal. He, Chesley, and Dementi worked collaboratively for almost two years to create The Last Pumpkin, which Pike said was inspired by his parents and the family that surrounded him growing up in North Carolina. "I was very lucky," he said, "to have a supportive environment."
Although he called the book project a "great learning experience" overall, Pike remarked that being at the community picnic was especially gratifying. "[Lakeside Elementary] is such a special place for me," he said, expressing appreciation for current principal Herb Monroe's efforts to pull together the event with the help of Henrico County Recreation and Parks and the Lakeside PTA (which received a donation from the book's promoters).
So is there a The Last Easter Egg or The Last Christmas Tree in the works? Pike was asked.
"Nell and I have talked about working on another book," he responded. "And I have some drafts in progress that might become a book. Only time will tell."
The Last Pumpkin, written by William A. Pike and illustrated by Nell Chesley, is available at http://dementimilestonepublishing.com.

Certain film stars like Brooke Shields who look especially good by virtue of their naturally attractive thick eyebrows have spawned a desire among ladies to get thick eyebrows as well, in the hope of looking more attractive to others.
How would one correct the obvious disadvantages of possessing imperfect eyebrows?
Before newer techniques came on the scene, about the only way to get thick eyebrows was to pencil them in using tools such as eyebrow liners. The obvious advantage of this was the ability to change the style, slant and colour of the thick eyebrows, depending on the mood of the day. The disadvantage was, of course, that painted-on eyebrows did not look too natural, were temporary and troublesome to apply, and were nice and attractive only when viewed from a distance.
A more permanent way was to tattoo the eyebrows so that one could save oneself the trouble of having to spend hours trying to paint on sexy thick eyebrows which looked symmetrical and did not get smudged in the middle of your date. The disadvantage of this tattooing was again that the results were better-looking when view from a distance, and that close-up views of the tattooed eyebrows were not attractive, and tattooing was permanent. If you wanted to change your style, or suddenly decided that what you had was not what you really wanted, it was tough luck, mate – it was next to impossible to remove tattoo marks.
The slightly less permanent eyebrow embroidery was a bit better in the sense that the more superficial tattoos created in this procedure to get seemingly thick eyebrows would tend to fade off after a few years, so you could change your styles if you wanted, but then only after a few years.
Enter the eyebrow transplants. This procedure has been hailed as one of the better inventions to help people look more attractive with better and thicker eyebrows that were completely natural. Eyebrow transplants essentially involve the removal of hairs from elsewhere in the body and implanting them onto the eyebrow region, creating a new and better looking set of eyebrows. While the person with a hair transplant on the scalp is happy so long as his bald patch is covered, the person with the eyebrow transplant has her results showing on her face all the time, whenever she faces anybody. You just cannot hide your eyebrows! It is thus imperative that you choose your plastic surgeon well, and get a good aesthetic result from your eyebrow transplant.
The procedure of eyebrow transplant, while looking simple in theory, is technically a difficult, tedious and backbreaking procedure that takes hours to carry out. Thus you may not find all plastic surgeons willing to do this procedure.
In an eyebrow transplant procedure, a strip of coarse hair is harvested from the back of the scalp (for men's eyebrows), or above the ears (for women's eyebrows) under local anesthesia. The hairs are teased out individually and inserted into small cuts made on the carefully marked out recipient eyebrow transplant area. The angle of insertion as well as the orientation of the transplanted hair follicle to the surface of the skin and the face are extremely crucial to the aesthetics and success of the eyebrow transplant procedure.
Careful post-operative care is needed to ensure the viability of the eyebrow transplant. With good care, a person can expect to have beautifully shaped new and natural thick eyebrows within about 2 months.

Amid all the hustle and bustle of New York City, my sister in law and I stumbled upon serene beauty throughout the trip.
While walking from the Flatiron District to the West Village (for a cupcake from Magnolias of course), I spotted this unbelievably gorgeous home front. It literally stopped me in my tracks. Though this picture was taken on my phone, it's one of my favorites from the entire trip.
While sipping coffee in Central park, we found ourselves sitting among trees that provided a perfect canopy, a violinist strung her instrument and we just sat and took it all in.
Looking at these two pictures evokes such a sense of calm and beauty from our trip! I can't wait to share more details including my Jonathan Adler interview soon!

Canada manufacturing PMI ebbs to three-month low in July
By John Tilak
TORONTO (Reuters) - The pace of Canadian manufacturing growth eased to a three-month low in July as output and new orders had only modest gains, the RBC Canadian Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' index showed on Thursday.
The index, a gauge of manufacturing business conditions, slipped to 52 in July after adjusting for seasonal variation from 52.4 in June.
A reading above 50 shows growth in the sector.
"Canada's manufacturing sector stayed afloat in July, although conditions were slightly less favorable than on average historically," Craig Wright, chief economist at Royal Bank of Canada, said in a statement.
"We expect the U.S. economy to shift into higher gear in the second half of the year, slowly increasing demand for Canada's exports, and manufacturing goods in particular."
Data released on Wednesday showed U.S. economic growth rose more than expected in the second quarter.
Though strengthening conditions in the United States are a good sign for Canadian businesses, a prolonged recession in Europe and a slowdown in China have challenged Canada's export-driven economy.
The economy grew by 0.2 percent in May from April, according to government data on Wednesday, below forecasts and dampening expectations for growth in the second quarter. Continued...

Wheelchair users, backed by Sir Malcolm Rifkind, say Olympia is one of the few west London stations with step-free disabled access.
But Greg Hands, representing commuters, says the change is needed to prevent dangerous overcrowding on platforms. Some rush-hour travellers say the spur between Olympia and Earl's Court is barely used during the week.
Conservative MP Mr Hands, who represents Chelsea and Fulham, said overcrowding had become hazardous at stations such as Fulham Broadway and Parsons Green.
He said: "For some years, the Wimbledon part has been the most congested on the District line. At Parsons Green, people often have to wait for the third train before boarding.
"In my view, there's a considerable safety risk on those platforms. The situation at 8am can be quite alarming. TfL are doing the right thing." The plans would add five more trains during morning rush hour. But closing Kensington Olympia Tube station on weekdays would leave Willesden Junction on the Bakerloo line as the nearest Tube-Overground interchange.
More than 300 people attended a public meeting in Olympia's Pillar Hall on Tuesday to oppose Transport for London's plans.
Sir Malcolm, MP for the neighbouring constituency of Kensington, and a former defence secretary, said: "To cut an existing service is a very serious matter. The route that would have to be used by a disabled person in order to get to the Tube would be much longer. It's not reasonable from the point of view of people who are disabled."
TfL said the changes, planned for December, will allow an extra 4,000 passengers to travel on the Wimbledon branch and 800 to head towards Ealing Broadway at the rush hour peak. The plans are opposed by Hammersmith & Fulham and Kensington and Chelsea councils, both Conservative-run, chiefly over disabled access.
Opponents argue the closure will also cause the "slow death" of small business around Olympia exhibition centre. A TfL spokesman said the Overground and Southern trains would continue to run up to seven trains an hour from Kensington Olympia.Reuse content
