Happy day after the Fourth of July. I hope everyone had the chance to relax and celebrate.
I wanted to share a quick update from the road.
Yesterday marked the end to Governor Jindal's five-day campaign swing in Iowa where he made 16 stops across the state.
While many Republican candidates spent the Fourth of July in New Hampshire, it appears Governor Jindal was the ONLY Republican presidential candidate in Iowa for the parades. In between parade stops, we stopped at Scheels to buy a new shirt because Governor Jindal had sweat through his shirt after running back and forth along the Urbandale parade route.
The Governor's five-day trip across Iowa confirmed what we have always known – his record, his vision for the country, his ability to answer any tough question, and his knack for retail politics resonates with Iowans.
Large audiences greeted Governor Jindal at multiple stops, including some events with overflow crowds. Indeed, as Linh Ta of the Des Moines Register put it, Governor Jindal has piqued the curiosity of Iowans and they are "intrigued" by his personality.
Kenny Linhart said, "He certainly is capable of running this nation because of his experience in Louisiana." Garry McGinnis said Governor Jindal is "well spoken and answered the questions intelligently."
After the parade stops on Saturday, the Des Moines Register reported that "Many of the people he spoke to, although not positive they will ultimately caucus for him, expressed support because of his conservative values and what they described as his genuine demeanor."
This swing will be the first of many throughout Iowa. Governor Jindal wants to earn this nomination. He will treat this campaign the same way he treated his two landslide elections for Governor in Louisiana. The Governor will go everywhere in the state and answer the tough questions about his experience and where he wants to take the country.
Look forward to seeing you on the trail,
Kyle Plotkin
Communications Director
Jindal for President

We traveled with a group on motorcycles and used 5 rooms that weekend. 3 of the rooms were fine, nothing special but clean. 2 of the rooms were poor at best. The mattress on the bed my husband and I had was U shaped. I mean as worn out as it gets. It was late and we were already tired from being on the road and undressed when we discovered this so we did not request a change of room. To say the least, we didn't sleep much. I considered sleeping on the couch in the room but it was so worn and dirty looking I wasn't going to sit in it much less sleep on it. The room also had a musty smell to it. My friends room was okay and the bed was fine but she said she could hear each step the person in the room above her took each time they went to the bathroom.
Breakfast was not much at all but I am not a breakfast eater so I was okay with that. It was clean and there were no bugs so that made me happy. If the mattress had been better it would have been fine. I just look for a good nights sleep and a shower when I am on the road.
I did notify the person at the desk of the pitiful condition of the bed and she was very polite and apologized. If we had requested a room Change I don't think they would have had a problem doing it - everyone was respectful and courteous.
So, some of the rooms were average and some were poor.

FABTV: Smashing Pumpkins "Disarm"
Does this video give anyone else chills? Not only is this song powerful, but the video is beautiful. It takes you on a dizzying black and white voyage through angular shingle rooftops dispersed with cameos from the totally unique members of the alt rock band. I think it's somewhat of a music video masterpiece. How cool is bassist/vocalist D'arcy Wretzky's braided pigtails and textured tights? Very early 90s, very cool.
Also, I may be on my own here, but does anyone else think that Billy Corgan's crooked teeth are sexy?!

Early Dawn Final by ~Multiimage is absolutely jaw-dropping! The lighting effects as well as all the little details all over the piece leave me speechless! ( Featured by rydi1689 )
Enjoying your art, thanks.
This is where I belong.
this is aweeeeeeeeeesome!!

Fantastic artwork, with lovely perspective, colours and lightning.
this is the kindof work ive always wanted to do
possibly one of the best deviations ever seen, and yes im being serious....
how..could they have hidden THAT for so long!
Amazing stuff.....

I love the detail and the colours in this art work! well done!
Thanks, it took awhile to organize the scene...thanks for the compliment!!!!

I love clashes like this.
Looks great.
What a view...is the first thing that comes to mind the very instant I made eye contact with this piece. The outstanding perspective takes in everything this piece has to offer. Minuscule details such as small waves and grass areas highlight the piece and give it that much more of an organic quality as opposed to pure steel and mechanization that dominates the landscape. Beautifully executed and well done.
Great Piece!
This is so incredible. I love the combination of future and nature and antiquity. The sheen of light on the foreground rocks is amazing. It's all so amazing. Well done.
Thanks!! yes, this scene was a tough peice to create...I think I kind of over did the details.....lol but I learned alot!....I'm glad you like it!.....
seems the future is bright
I think I like this one better. I'm not sure why, though. The flipped (first version) is beautiful but it was like hard on my eyes somehow. I guess I like dark on the left and light on the right. I dunno how to explain it.
Amazing job
wow! amazing..

There is no better time to take stock of your financial situation than at the beginning of a new year. The best way is to go through what went wrong and what went right, and make appropriate adjustments going forward.
What did I Add to my Savings?
We make a decision to save a certain amount for the year, whether it is through automated monthly deposits or simply by putting aside as much as we can from each paycheck and bonus. This is the perfect time to take a look at your savings account and see if you have managed to reach your goal, or if you need to readjust your strategy for the current year to make the number go where you need it to be.
Did I Follow my Budget?
We all set some goals at the beginning of the year, but we usually only manage to stick to a bare minimum of them. If you set up budget goals for last year and did not manage to truly follow them, it is time to sit down and see what worked and what did not, and to adjust your plans for 2016. It is all about balance and planning, and while there are things that cannot truly be predicted, such as a health crisis, having an emergency fund can prevent it taking a too big of a hit on your budget.
Can I Improve my Financial Habits?
A lot of the time we spend money we do not have to be spending whether it is new clothes we truly do not need, or the latest version of a phone that is less than a year old. If you are trying to improve your spending habits, these are the things to pay attention to. Changing just a few habits can make a huge impact on your bottom line.
By taking the time to reflect and take action on these questions, you should see a significant improvement to your bottom line by the end of this year.

With back-to-back defeats and the resignation of club captain Sean Gibson, it has proved a difficult week both on and off the cricket pitch for Radcliffe.
The Homer Street men only managed to post 88 in their 182-run loss against local rivals Unsworth on Saturday and crashed to a five-wicket defeat at bottom side Ashton on Sunday.
With Gibson departing, new captain Chris Berry believes the club must now rebuild after losing one of its better players.
"Sean has resigned as captain of Radcliffe and no longer plays for the team.
"He feels that he can't carry on in his position.
"Unfortunately we've lost a really good player in Sean but we now have to move on."
Despite being without main bowler Jimmy Dixon, opening batsman Anis Patel and wicketkeeper Richard Farnworth, Berry was still disappointed with the defeats to both Unsworth and Ashton.
"A number of things went wrong for us," he said. "We had Unsworth at 121-6 at one stage but, having dropped Alex Blake on 10, he came back to put on a good partnership with Abid Fazil.
"Their professional Chris Williams bowled well and got myself and our pro Nadeem Ashraf out with two really good balls. After that we suffered a bit of a batting collapse before the lower order got us to 88 runs.
"The Ashton result on Sunday was really disappointing.
"We hoped we could post at least 150-170 runs before bowling them out convincingly but we only managed to total 75."
Berry is now looking to turn Radcliffe's season around, starting with victory against Middleton on Saturday.
"It should be an interesting tie as we are pretty evenly matched sides and although they've got a decent professional if we get him early enough then we should have a chance.
"We definitely fancy getting a win."

Steven Morris, communications manager of Federation International de Hockey (FIH), said the game's world governing body would examine the feasibility of a video umpire at the women's World Cup in Perth from November 24 to December 8. The trial would take the form of a dry run, with no involvement of World Cup match officials and no direct effect on the run of play. "Instead, an experienced international umpire not taking part in the match will be able to request video examination of crucial umpires' decisions to test the effectiveness of the additional scrutiny," said Morris. The experiment would provide feedback on important performance indicators, such as the number of times video was required, whether replay allowed for an unambiguous ruling and how long it took on average for a conclusion to be reached. The criteria for assessment, he said, would be restricted to decisions involving the award of goals in situations like whether the ball was inside or outside the circle, crossed the goal line or entered the goal and whether an attacker had touched the ball inside the circle.

Results for the S&P 500 Aristocrats Index as of July 2 are reported in this article. "Dogs of the Index," a once per year trading system triggered by yield, is used here to determine the most lucrative of these dividend stocks.
Previous articles in this series reported June results from two sector indices, the Russell 1000, S&P 500, NYSE International 100, Nasdaq 100, and Dow 30 indices. The upcoming article will report dog metrics applied to one additional index: JPMorgan New Sovereigns. Thereafter, a monthly summary will compare results in yield and price for all nine indices reported in this series.
Dogs of the Index Metrics
Two key numbers determined the yields that ranked stocks in each index: (1) stock price, and (2) annual dividend. Dividing the annual dividend by the price of the stock declared the percentage yield by which each dog stock was ranked.
Historically, dividend dog investors utilized this ranking system to select portfolios of five or ten stocks in any one index, sector, or survey to trade. They awaited the results from their investments in the lowest priced, highest yielding stocks and prayed that the price of every stock they now owned climbed higher (having locked in a high yield percentage at purchase).
This Dogs of the Index strategy, popularized by Michael B. O'Higgins in the book "Beating The Dow" (HarperCollins, 1991), revealed how high-yielding stocks whose prices increase (and whose dividend yields therefore decrease) could be sold off once each year to sweep gains and reinvest seed money into higher yielding stocks in the same index.
Investor Empowerment from S&P 500 Aristocrats
Listed below are 30 S&P 500 Aristocrats stocks by yield as of 6/4/12 per Yahoo Finance data. McGraw Hill, publisher if this index, states, "The S&P 500® Dividend Aristocrats index measures the performance of large cap, blue chip companies within the S&P 500 that have followed a policy of increasing dividends every year for at least 25 consecutive years."
June top ten Aristocrats by yield encompassed six of nine business sectors. Two of three consumer goods firms led these top ten dogs by showing the biggest dividend yields as of July 2. Pitney Bowes Inc. (NYSE:PBI) led; Leggett & Platt (NYSE:LEG) was second; Procter & Gamble (NYSE:PG) placed ninth for the consumer goods contingent. The remaining dogs in the top ten represent six sectors: one technology, AT&T (NYSE:T) in third place; two financials, HCP Inc. (NYSE:HCP) and Cincinnati Financial Corp. (NASDAQ:CINF) parked in fourth and fifth place; one utility, Consolidated Edison Inc. (NYSE:ED) placed sixth; one basic materials firm, Nucor Corporation (NYSE:NUE) was seventh; two service firms, Walgreen Co. (WAG) and Sysco Corp. (NYSE:SYY) placed eighth and tenth.
For the 30 June S&P Aristocrat dividend payers, nine consumer goods, two technology companies, three financials, one utility, three basic materials, four services, four health care, three industrial goods, and one conglomerate represented the market sectors.
Dividend vs. Price Results for S&P 500 Aristocrats Dogs
Relative strengths of the top ten S&P 500 Aristocrats Index stocks by yield was graphed as of July 2, 2012. Projected annual dividend history from $1,000 invested in each of the ten highest yielding stocks each month and the total single share prices of those ten stocks created the data points for the past six months (shown in green for price and blue for dividends).
Conclusion: Aristocrats Top Dogs Drop in Dividend and Price
S&P 500 Aristocrats Index constituents continued to be chased by a bear as projected dividend totals for $1,000 invested in the top ten dropped 7.18% due to two $2-plus dividend payers KMB and JNJ dropping out of the top ten. Meanwhile, their aggregate total single share prices dropped 8.00% between June 4 and July 2.
Since December 30, 2011, S&P 500 Aristocrats top ten dividends from $1,000 invested in each of the dogs have stayed near the $475 level, while single share prices for those stocks dropped 21.56% from $479.79 to $376.34 for the period. The Aristocrats are in a Bear Marathon.
Conclusion, Part 2: Analysts Forecast July 2013 Net Gains up to 13.58% for S&P 500 Aristocrats Dogs
Top ten dogs for this index component list were graphed below to show relative strengths by dividend and price as of July 2, 2012 and those projected to July 2, 2013.
Historic prices and actual dividends paid from $1,000 invested in the ten highest yielding stocks and the aggregate single share prices of those ten stocks created the data points for 2012. Projections based on estimated increases in dividend amounts from $1,000 invested in the ten highest yielding stocks and aggregate one-year analyst mean target prices as reported by Yahoo Finance created the 2013 data points (green for price and blue for dividends).
For the coming year, Yahoo Finance projected a 7.03% lower dividend from $1,000 invested in each stock within this group, while aggregate single share price for the ten was projected by analysts to increase by 4.2%.
Probable profit-generating Aristocrats dog trades one year from now revealed by analysts as reported by Yahoo Finance were: Pitney Bowes Inc. netting $273.40 based on mean target price set by 3 analysts; Leggett & Platt netting $332.19 based on mean target price set by 3 analysts; Nucor Corporation netting $217.39 based on mean target price set by 15 analysts; Walgreen Co. netting $211.41 based on mean target price set by 18 analysts; Procter & Gamble netting $113.85 as of next July based on mean target price set by 15 analysts.
The resulting top ten Aristocrats dog net gain to 2013 from dividends and swept price gains was forecast at 13.58% from $10,000 invested, according to analyst estimates.
Will S&P 500 Aristocrats Index dog price gains come back in the fall or will they continue to pull back? Look also for periodic updates on how well or whether analyst-projected 13.58% gains for the Aristocrats in 2013 hold.
A monthly summary will soon compare results in yield and price for all nine indices reported in this series: 3x9 and 1X9+1 Sector indices, Russell 1000, S&P 500, NYSE International 100, Nasdaq 100, Dow 30, S&P 500 Aristocrats, and JPMorgan Sovereigns.

Passing the Torch
> Professorship celebrates anesthesiologist's vision and commitment
As the inaugural Cascorbi Professor, Howard Nearman, MD (right) will carry on the legacy of his mentor and former department chair, Helmut Cascorbi, MD, PhD (left). A dedicated educator, Dr. Cascorbi is also the medical director of the Anesthesiology Simulation Center. Credit: David Ahntholz
As past chair of the Department of Anesthesiology and Perioperative Medicine at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine and University Hospitals Case Medical Center, Helmut Cascorbi, MD, PhD, knows firsthand that a host of experts is responsible for patient success. He is also aware that when grateful patients express their appreciation for the medical professionals who save their lives, they tend to look to the surgeon or physician who treated them—not the specialist they met just before entering a hazy oblivion.
That is why Dr. Cascorbi, a professor of anesthesiology, chose to recognize the important role of the anesthesiologist through the Cascorbi Professorship in Anesthesiology. His is the School of Medicine's first professorship to honor the discipline.
"Anesthesiology is a relatively young specialty," Dr. Cascorbi says. "This named chair adds prestige, offers independent support and honors my family name. I'm glad I have the chance to give back and strengthen the field of anesthesiology at the School of Medicine and University Hospitals."
An advancing specialty
Even in what he considers to be an emerging field, Dr. Cascorbi says he has seen the practice of anesthesiology evolve greatly since he got his start in 1960. He became chair of the department in 1980.
"Anesthesiology has become much more mature from when I started," he says. "There have been astounding developments in basic and applied research and monitoring technology. Post-graduate education has become very sophisticated. The number of journals and textbooks has exploded, and the number of board-certified anesthesiologists has increased tremendously."
Dr. Cascorbi's longtime colleague Robert Daroff, MD, associate dean of development at the School of Medicine, served as chair of the Department of Neurology at University Hospitals Case Medical Center from 1980 to 1993. He says the Cascorbi Professorship is a significant addition to the school—and to the practice of anesthesiology.
"It's important because endowed professorships allow the school to recruit and retain the best and brightest talent," he says, adding that it is particularly significant that the professorship is named for Dr. Cascorbi. "He was a spectacular chairman and essentially built the department. He has a wonderful sense of humor and is able to dissect complicated problems and arrive at appropriate solutions."
Dr. Cascorbi led the department for more than 20 years and is noted for establishing an incentive system for clinical work—a program he began just one week after taking the post.
An inspired leader
Howard Nearman, MD, professor and current chair of the Department of Anesthesiology and Perioperative Medicine, was celebrated as the first recipient of the Cascorbi Professorship in a ceremony on Dec. 17—in honor of the day Dr. Cascorbi first recited the Hippocratic Oath and became a physician.
"It's wonderful and very fitting that the first professorship in this department is named after a very dedicated man," Dr. Nearman says. "He was a significant driving force in how the department got to where it is. I am honored to hold a chair in his name in recognition of his contributions to the education and practice of anesthesiology."
Throughout his long and distinguished career, Dr. Cascorbi has trained more than 200 residents— including Dr. Nearman.
"He became chair of the department in the middle of my residency, so I spent the last part of my residency and my fellowship under Dr. Cascorbi," Dr. Nearman says. "With the credentials I had at the time, I could have gone anywhere in the country, but I chose to stay at Case Western Reserve because of Helmut. I knew him to be a fair man, an honest man, someone who was going to work with you in your career and work for the department. I think that's why he was so successful."
Dr. Daroff says it is exciting that as the honoree, Dr. Nearman is following in the former chair's footsteps.
"A Cascorbi-trained anesthesiologist is someone that you would want to put you under anesthesia," Dr. Daroff says. "Howard Nearman is also a great educator, and the professorship will promulgate continued excellence in that important role."
An enlightening pursuit
Dr. Cascorbi has published nearly 100 papers over the course of his career. He says he especially enjoys finding "new truths" in the lab; developing new teaching and evaluation methods; and leading the Council of Clinical Chairmen, which he helped to create to give department leaders a voice in the development and implementation of school policy. However, it is the teaching of the next generation that he says is his favorite aspect of his profession, and that is why he wants the professorship to focus on education.
"Without research and education, an academic department is crippled and will not survive," he says.
For his part, Dr. Nearman has big ideas for how the new funds can benefit the Department of Anesthesiology and Perioperative Medicine and its students. One plan, he says, is to advance the medical simulation program to help residents become more active in their training.
"Dr. Cascorbi's contribution is certainly going to help the educational pursuits of our department," he says. "I think it's appropriate that the funding be used toward the interests that Helmut championed most'the teaching of residents and fellows."

Nov. 24
I was so sad when I learned Monday that Alonzo Mourning's basketball career has come to such an abrupt end. The problems with his kidney became too much, and my thoughts and prayers are with him and his family.
I will never forget when he was at Georgetown and played center for the Hoyas. He truly reflected his coach, John Thompson. Mourning gave his best on every play.
Think about all the dimensions he had as a Hoya. At 6-foot-10, Mourning led the nation in blocked shots in 1989, averaging almost five per game. He averaged 13 points and seven boards as a diaper dandy, and he got better and better each season.
As a senior during the 1991-92 season, he averaged a double-double (21 points and 10 rebounds per contest). He was also a reliable inside force, shooting over 56 percent from the floor in his four seasons at Georgetown.
He was a warrior on the court. I really feel that word -- warrior -- exemplified his effort, his desire and his hunger. I believed he would be a dynamite addition for the Nets this season if he could have returned to his healthy form. Unfortunately, it wasn't meant to be.
It's sad because Mourning is one tough competitor. Mentally, he is as tough as any athlete I have ever met over the years. He had that special desire to win, win, win.
In this day and age, when so many athletes are concerned only about their stats, their egos and their contracts, Mourning was the opposite. He was all about getting the W!
It started as a high-school player and went on to his Georgetown days and then on to the NBA with the then-Charlotte Hornets, Miami Heat and the New Jersey Nets. He was always a class act, as demonstrated when he won the NBA's Citizenship Award.
I just hope and pray that nothing but happiness comes Alonzo Mourning's way in the future. Let's hope his holiday spirits are filled with joy and that a miracle can happen to get him back stronger than ever.

Meritorious Service Award in the Pursuit of Falling Stars (& other shiny medals)
on: May 08, 2011 06:22:20 PM
Made these medals for my daughter. It's a quick, easy way to use up a bunch of little bits and pieces from the craft stash. There are beads, ribbon, felt scraps, safety pins, bits of chain, a few random pendants form junk jewellery... you could just about anything. I think some big brass buttons would look smashing. I stitched these together but glue would work just as well.

Lacey Legs (with link to pattern)
on: April 03, 2011 07:01:52 AM
Throwback to the 80's, maybe, but still they look adorable on Miss Baby! They are quick and easy to sew, which (for me at least) is very important with a ratbag little one running around causing havoc.
I used stretchy lace that I bought at Spotlight; it has a nice flowery pattern and they have it in a whole bunch of colours.
If you'd like the pattern it's available here
in size 0 to 1. The tights will work fine with disposable or new cloth nappies. I don't know how well they'd work with old school cloth nappies though.
Recipes and Cooking Tips
Buttercream in high humidity WITHOUT Crisco
on: March 24, 2011 03:38:58 PM
Hi all,
I've been looking for a recipe for a tasty buttercream that will stand up to a hot, humid day... which is pretty much most days between October and April here... but a recipe without Crisco or other solid vegetable shortening. We can't get it here, and I don't like the greasy aftertaste anyway.
I have heard rumors that adding cream of tartar helps to stabilize buttercream.
Any ideas?

Real Pirates wear Eyeliner!
on: March 03, 2011 03:17:21 PM
There's a big shindig on at Hubby's work today and everyone's dressing up. He decided he wanted to be
Johhny Depp
Jack Sparrow, so I've been sewing for two days to get this all together. I made the headscarf wig, shirt, waistcoat, pants, sash and boots. The belts I picked up at a Lifeline shop.
I don't sew many men's clothes so I played it safe and used a pattern; Simplicity 4923 which you can find here:
. I was very happy with the pattern; some of the instructions were a little confusing but it came together well. Sizing was pretty accurate too. The trousers were a surprise - hello, weird flappy front closure - and took some convincing, but he eventually went with it. I modified the shirt with a pointy collar instead of the standing collar, and added some loops so he could lace up the front; he didn't fancy showing off his chest all day long.
The boots are a pair of men's slippers with some stretchy, fake suede sewn on top. First I pinned on some interfacing to make a pattern of the shoe top, then cut that out of the fabric and hot glued it on. Then I measured his leg, made a pattern for the boot top, and then sewed that to the covered shoe. I ran out of time to make the big bell tops that Jack wears, so he's just gonna have to live with boring pirate boots. Sorry, honey.
The sash was 1/2 a metre of upholstery ticking. I cut it in half lengthways, sewed it together in one long piece, and then down the sides to keep the threads in place. Then I fringed 15 cms at each end. It took ages but looks cool. The bottons were very shiny and distracting when I bought them so I had to rub in some black paint to give them a more aged look.
Every store we went to had run out of dreadlock wigs except those with bright beannies attached. I cut the dreds off and sewed them to the inside of a piece of fabric which was knotted around his head. Add some beads and coins and there's a quick Jack wig! It was kind of fun, actually. The dreds were soft and woolly with a foam core... nothing like the real thing!
The eyeliner was hilarious - he watered and teared up and kept making faces, so it was hard to actually get the stuff on his face and not IN his eyes. He now thinks all girls are mental. (Maybe I'll wax his legs one day and give him a real lesson in femininity?) I had to smudge it with a wet cotton ball because of all the fussing, but in the end he liked the results. I rather like it myself

Arabian Nights Bolero (with link to pattern)
on: January 30, 2011 08:02:29 PM
This is pure frippery, but gosh it's fun.
Extra full gathered sleeves with a curved hem that sits high in front and drops to the waist in the back. I used the scallop stitch on my machine to finish the edges and finish all the seams too, so it's just as pretty inside as out.
Drafted this one myself and I'm pretty happy with how things turned out. If you'd like to try making it yourself, the pattern is available (freebie!) here:
Dragonfruit & Lime Cheesecake (with recipe)
on: January 07, 2011 04:47:18 AM
This is dragonfruit. It comes from a cactus, which is too cool for words.
When you cut it open this is what you find:
Brilliant fuscia-pink flesh peppered with tiny black seeds. There is a white fleshed variety but I like this one better. The skin peels off like a banana. You can eat the flesh as is; it's best chilled. The flavour is subtle but refreshing. Add some lime and suddenly it's tropical, fruity and delicious!
After trying a dragonfruit sorbet and then a salad, it was time to get to the serious stuff: cheesecake. The flavours work together so well and the finished cheesecake was flirty with those jewel colours and so light and tempting... oh I could eat a lot of this stuff. Here's the recipe...
Dragonfruit and Lime Cheesecake
1 biscuit base (cookie crumb pie shell)
1 cup cream
1 tub cream cheese, 250g/8oz, softened. It MUST be soft or the cheesecake tastes weird and is lumpy.
1 cup icing sugar (confectioner's sugar/powdered sugar)
1 dragonfruit
2 limes
1 tsp gelatin
4 tbs water
Beat cream until softly whipped - it should be thick and luscious but NOT stiff.
Beat cream cheese until smooth. Add whipped cream and icing sugar, beat until smooth. Add the finely grated zest of 1 lime and mix.
Pour into pie shell and chill to set, at least half an hour.
Juice the limes and set aside.
Put water in a small, microwavable dish and sprinkle over the gelatin. Leave for a few minutes to get spongy.
Peel dragonfruit; push flesh through a sieve with the back of a spoon to crush out as much juice as possible. You can also place the mashed flesh in a cheesecloth or clean, new chux and wring out the juice. Mix a spoonful of the seeds back into the juice (it's prettier).
Microwave the gelatine for 10 seconds; it should turn to liquid. Mix the gelatin and juices.
Carefully pour over the cheesecake mixture and chill.
Chill several hours; overnight is better. The longer you chill it, the better the flavour.
Handy tip: For maximum juice, use limes that are at room temperature and roll them on the kitchen bench with your palm before cutting and juicing.
I made a dozen mini cheesecakes in a friand pan; the bases came apart a bit but they were delicious anyway!
Do any of you have dragonfruit recipes to share?

From the Royal Couturier to Her Majesty the Queen of Messy Rooms
on: December 31, 2010 06:02:18 PM
A Christmas gift for my daughter. I try to make the girls something special every year, because what's the point of all the crafting and sewing if not to make my family smile?
The silver fabric had been stashed in a box for about seven years, from which I had intended to make a dress for myself. Finally I decided I was never going to make that dress, and even if I did I'd never wear it, so I made something for my oldest daughter instead. Of course she wears it all the time, and calls it her 'prancing' dress
The skirt is silver charmeuse with a split overskirt of silver... well, I have no idea what it is, but it's all synthetic. I added a few beads here and there to the front edges of the overskirt. The bodice is white satin with rows of gathered silver stuff. Rather than hemming, which would have been a bit bulky for the bodice, I singed the edges of the ruffles. The neckline is bound with silver ribbon. The puffed sleeves are white satin, bound in silver ribbon, with pearl trim. The oversleeves are the silver stuff with a single pinched pleat. The dress closes with seven pearly-white buttons at the back. All the beading, etc. is done by hand, which is why it's so messy!
I make so many clothes for her that I didn't need to use a pattern, but I did match up measurements with one of her existing dresses just to make sure everything would fit.

Hobbits in the House
on: October 03, 2010 03:26:55 AM
I had a dull corner in the bedroom that needed brightening up so I made this little bit of fancy... it's me and my husband as hobbits, sitting under the party tree. (Long story; suffice it to say we're both short, I have weird feet, and we live in the country.) The text is the description of Gandalf's fireworks at Bilbo's party. It was worded so prettily that I couldn't help but use it. Watercolour pencils, a HB and some brown ink are all I used; I don't do much in the way of painting so it's a bit rough, but it was fun to make. Do watercolour pencils even qualify as painting or is it really just wet colouring in?
Party Planning
Tea Party for Three Little Ladies
on: October 02, 2010 03:28:45 AM
We had a little tea party for miss birthday girl with two friends, just a small treat, but lots of fun.
A few plastic dishes lined with tissue paper and doilies held all the goodies. We gave each girl a small gift bag with a decorated pen, notebook, bottle of bath salts, a tiny lipgloss and a bracelet. I used a mix of hand made and purchased, but each of these small items could be crafted easily.
The centrepiece is an old, broken candelabra decorated with fake flowers (attached with bluetac), butterflies and dangly, sparkling christmas decorations.
Flags are made from scrapbook paper (30cmx30cm), glued back to back, holes punched in the top and threaded onto kitchen string.
The cake - vanilla buttercream with pearl dusting powder. I had piped half a dozen buttercream roses but the humidity destroyed them
I had to scrape them off and pipe this at the last minute. The cake is actually quite small, about 15cm across.
To drink we gave the girls sugar-free lemonade tinted with a drop of food colouring. For sugar-free it was actually nice, no nasty fake sweetner aftertaste. The girls certainly liked it, and I certainly liked not having to chase super hyped kids.
We didn't send out invitations or anytthing but I think a calling card with a silhouette of a girl in a party dress would have been nice, with some fancy creative writing... "Miss P requests the pleasure of your company for morning tea.....etc., etc." One to keep in mind for next time, I think.

Pretty Pleats!
on: May 30, 2010 03:39:54 AM
For ages I've been wanting to make a dress for bub that had pleats in the bodice. Pleats in the skirt is just too much work, mostly cause I loathe ironing, but this I can manage. Well, apparently except for matching up the plaid.
The pattern came about by box pleating a piece of paper until I liked the look of it. Then it was trimmed and re-drawn into a proper bodice. Well. When I say proper, I mean it looks sorta like a bodice pattern. I am messy. (Someone once told me that creative people are slobs. I don't necessarily agree but sometimes creativity sure 'aint pretty.) This is it, anyways. If you can decipher my chicken scratch, go ahead and use it if you want.

Public Testimony
Providing formal, public testimony is an important part of Pacific Whale Foundation's advocacy work. Testimony is submitted on a variety of ocean related issues, both locally in Hawai'i and around the world.
Support: Proposed Regulations for Hawaiian Spinner Dolphins under the Marine Mammal Protection Act
In 2016, NOAA/NMFS published a proposed rule to prohibit swimming-with and approaching Hawaiian spinner dolphins within 50 yards. Spinner dolphins spend the daytime resting in bays and nearshore areas after feeding offshore at night. Disruption of the resting behavior can impact the overall fitness of spinner dolphins and their ability to forage. The proposed regulations align with our 'Be Dolphin Wise' set of best practices for tour operations, and we support the proposed rule.
Oppose: Petition to Remove North Pacific Humpback Whale from Endangered Species List
Pacific Whale Foundation acknowledges that the best available science indicates that the number of humpback whales has increased in the North Pacific. However, we urge the NOAA to assume the precautionary principle when addressing this issue, and do not believe that delisting is warranted at this time. It is likely that pre-exploitation levels of North Pacific humpbacks numbered around 100,000. To achieve the state recovery goal of 60% carrying capacity would thus require the current population to number 60,000 individuals – three times the current population estimate.
Press Release: Maui County Council Passes Tobacco-Free Beaches and Parks Bill
On Tuesday, April 22, 2014 (Earth Day!), the Maui County Council voted unanimously in support of the Tobacco-Free Beaches and Parks bill. The day was historic for environmental and public health organizations on Maui, who are looking forward to cleaner cleaner beaches, waves and coastlines for Maui County. The success of the bill hinges on education and outreach, and will rely heavily on community-based enforcement.
Support: Prohibiting Tobacco Use and Tobacco Products in Maui County Parks (final reading) 4/22/2014
Cigarette butts are the number one most littered item in the world. Littered cigarette butts are toxic and pose a hazard for marine life, coastal communities and the public. Both O'ahu and Hawai'i island have already implemented some form of tobacco-free beaches. Pacific Whale Foundation has been raising awareness about cigarette butt litter for nearly a decade, and we are ready to see Maui County take the next step towards solving an incredibly pervasive and chronic environmental issue. Learn more about PWF's Butt-Free Beaches campaign.
Support: Proposed Amendment to the Endangered Species Act Listing of the Southern Resident Killer Whale Distinct Population Segment (National Marine Fisheries Service) 3/25/2014
In the 1970's, killer whales (orcas) from the Northwest Pacific were rounded up by wranglers, herded into pens and then sold into captivity. "Lolita", a female orca, was one of seven orcas selected for captivity, and was eventually sent to the Miami Seaquarium where she has remained for the past 40 years. Lolita is a member of the Southern Resident killer whale (SRKW) distinct population segment, a population that was listed as "Endangered"; on the U.S. Endangered Species List in 2005. She is the sole member of the SRKW population that remains in captivity, but has yet to be included as under the endangered listing because of her captive status. National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) is currently reviewing a petition that seeks to amend the Endangered Species Act so as to recognize Lolita under the Endangered status. Recognition under the Endangered Species Act could also increase the likelihood of Lolita's eventual release from captivity.
Support: Prohibiting Tobacco Use and Tobacco Products in County Parks (Maui County) 3/14/2014
Cigarette butts are the number one most littered item in the world, and are the most commonly found items on road sides, beaches, parks and stream beds. Cigarette butts are comprised of 165 toxic chemicals that leach into waterways within one hour of contact with the water. The sheer volume of cigarette butts that are littered in the environment pose a hazard for marine life, coastal communities and the public. Both O'ahu and Hawai'i island have already implemented some form of tobacco-free beaches. Pacific Whale Foundation has been raising awareness about cigarette butt litter for nearly a decade, and we are ready to see Maui County take the next step towards solving an incredibly pervasive and chronic environmental issue. Learn more about PWF's Butt-Free Beaches campaign.
Support: Proposed rule updates to the Maui/Lana'i fishing regulations 12/6/2013
Healthy fish populations are essential to maintaining healthy coral reef ecosystems. While a number of factors contribute to declines in fish populations, overfishing (removing fish from the environment at a rate faster than the fish can repopulate) is a serious issue that needs to be addressed. The Department of Land and Natural Resources has been working extensively to reformulate the current fishing regulations, and to make these regulations species specific. The proposed regulations are a combination of minimum and maximum size limits, catch limits and open/closed seasons. PWF supports the regulations because they are comprehensive, species specific and rely on best available science with regards to the biology and life history of reef fish.
Opposed: Removing the North Pacific Humpback Whale population from the Endangered Species List 10/28/13
In April 2013, the Hawai'i Fishermen's Alliance for Conservation and Tradition, Inc. petitioned the Federal government to re-classify the North Pacific population of humpback whale as a Distinct Population Segment, and then to remove this Distinct Population Segment from the Endangered Species List. Pacific Whale Foundation feels that removal of this species from the endangered species list is premature and unwarranted. The petition for removal does not adequately acknowledge the complexity of the North Pacific humbpack whale stock, nor does it critically evaluate the status of the stock in relation to data gaps and current threats.
Support: Amend the Shark Conservation Act so that Federal regulations do not supercede stricter state legislation
Support: State Bill 26 to adopt an amendment that specifically defines "sustainable" with respect to reef fish populations 1/28/2013

A running back is not faster than a full back because in a game situation a full back has to be able to run just as fast as the running back in order to protect him
not true most running backs will have a faster 40 yd time than fullbacks. fullbacks dont protect your running back, they pick up the first blocker so your running back can rush for more yards
hahaha sometimes i wonder about people...so you mean to tell me that this guy truly believes that fullbacks are faster then tail backs? have you ever played football before? fullbacks are blocking backs and meant to power through lines to get short yards...tail backs are meant to break long runs...think about it....... my name is cody fertig...google me if you question my credibility

Roaring back from bankruptcy reorganization, General Motors has retaken the title of world's top-selling automaker. Volkswagen was second and Toyota, which had been No. 1, in previous years, fell to third.
General Motors took the top spot by selling just over 9 million cars and trucks across the globe, the Associated Press reports. Fast-growing Volkswagen had 8.2 million and Toyota, devastated by Japan's earthquake and tsunami in March, sold 7.9 million.
The AP notes that GM had held the global sales crown for more than seven decades before losing it to Toyota as GM's sales tanked while it headed toward financial ruin. In 2009, GM filed for bankruptcy protection, needing a U.S. government bailout to survive.
GM's comeback has been powered by well-regarded models that sell around the world, like the Chevrolet Cruze. Not only did GM sell a lot of cars, it also made some good money doing it -- in constrast to past year when big sales didn't necessarily translate to healthy profits. The company reported net income of $7.1 billion for the first three quarters of last year. It reports the fourth quarter next month.
Toyota is aiming for a comeback this year and has predicted that it will sell 8.48 million vehicles in 2012.

Villas-Boas - Modric is wrong
Reports in Spain suggest Tottenham manager Andre Villas-Boas has criticised Luka Modric as rumours of the player's exit intensify.
Last Updated: 22/07/12 1:44pm
Reports in Spain suggest Tottenham manager Andre Villas-Boas has criticised Luka Modric as rumours of the player's exit intensify.
Modric attempted to quit Spurs a year ago to join Villas-Boas at Chelsea but was told to stay by chairman Daniel Levy.
This summer the Croatian midfielder reportedly appears set on a move to Spanish champions Real Madrid.
Reports have suggested that the 26-year-old refused to travel with Spurs on the tour of America - and Villas-Boas referred to this decision in the Spanish press on Sunday.
"I think Modric is wrong," Villas-Boas was quoted as saying in AS.
"This will go against him. He has worsened the situation with what he's doing and now the chairman is very angry.
"This is also not a good time for Daniel Levy, who is in the USA at the moment, because his wife is ill."
Big loss
But Villas-Boas was complimentary about Modric's playing ability and admitted his exit would be a blow to Spurs.
"He's good, very good," added Villas-Boas. "I tried to sign him last summer for Chelsea. He will be a big loss.
"He's a player who can make the difference, who gives a lot of clarity to the play when the team needs it and who can play in several positions."

How to Use Brass Effectively in the Home
May 29, 2014.
Home improvement is a constant battle to get your home just the way you want it. One weekend, you'll be painting the living room. The next, your kitchen will be getting a new breakfast table installed. When it comes to retiling, this is a big project.
It takes a lot of planning and preparation. So if you're planning to make some major renovations, why not consider sprucing up the rest of the home with a little brass?
So what's brass? Well, it's an alloy made of copper and zinc. It's one of the most common alloys available and is similar to bronze (replacing the zinc with tin). Brass is used the world over for a variety of things. It's an excellent material to consider.

Brass looks amazing anywhere, even under a microscope (seen above). It can provide a real added touch of design chic, and the best thing? It's not as expensive as copper or bronze, but looks just as striking. Whilst steel and chrome have been the go-to metals in recent years, Brass is making a comeback. Originally, people viewed it as hard to clean. To solve this problem, many brass fittings in the home were lacquered. This reduced the difficulty in cleaning, but make it very shiny and garish. Now brass is back in its original form, allowing a home to have a very stylish and understated décor.
Ideas, Ideas, Ideas,
Today's home requires a more tacit approach. Brass can do this quite well in many rooms of the home. The two which stand out are the kitchen and bathroom. However, any room can benefit from a touch of brass.
Living room
Brass can be used effectively here in the form of a table lamp. Something vintage or even a little more contemporary means that you're not drowning the habitat areas of your home in a vast amount of brass furnishings.
Likewise, if you have a larger dining area, then a brass candleholder is an excellent use of using a minimum amount of brass for a larger effect overall. Also, consider a brass-framed mirror, which looks amazing and classic.
The bedroom is your own personal space. So make it yours with a few brass additions. For example, see if you can find an antique brass clock for the dresser. Or throw a few pictures frames together at the end of the dresser. Bed-side lamps are also recommended as well, providing a classic symmetrical aesthetic in the room.
As the kitchen is one of the most frequented locations in the home, then here is where you can really use brass to an advantage. Hanging lights or pendant lights with brass shades are very subtle and eye catching. If you do want to really push the boat out, then having a brass cooker hood is something to consider. Combined with the right splash backs or tiling, your cooker hood will really stand out.
Image by graylivin / CC BY
The bathroom has just the right elements to make brass the perfect addition to your home design. Brass was often used for taps, which is convenient as this is where you'll find the most in any home! You can also find that brass bath supports towel racks and light fittings will provide an excellent understated effect in the bathroom.
Regardless of which direction you want to take your home design, spare a moment to think about how brass is becoming a popular trend in 2014 and how it can certainly add a touch of the classic to any room.
We have some beautiful kitchen and bathrooms tiles that complement a brass look – click here to take a look at our selections, or contact us with any questions you have about your bathroom or kitchen.

Bach or holiday home | Okiato | #24134
Yfanwen (pronounced "if-an'-when") is a comfortable, very private and pet-friendly, fully equipped and serviced standard Lockwood family home of 100 square metres (1000 square feet). It is complete with Wi-Fi, heat pump and MY SKY PLUS TV, including the movie and sports channels. It sleeps 6 comfortably and can accommodate 2 more on a bed-settee. It is the alternative home of Margaret and Tim, the owners .
We are in the community of Okiato just across the water by car ferry from Opua, close to the Far North town of Russell in New Zealand's picturesque Bay of Islands. Opua is off State Highway 1 about 220 kilometres north of Auckland. The Russell Peninsula is part of a 'Land Island' nature reserve - listen to the kiwis calling at night, and pukakos and tuis around you in the surrounding bush when you are staying in Yfanwen.
Yfanwen is built back from a low cliff and adjacent to tranquil Pipiroa Bay. The house overlooks the Veronica Channel with views to the west and north as far as Paihia and Waitangi. The property is beachfront with 4.5 hectares (over 18 acres) of low hills and pasture, footpaths and two adjacent shallow, safe swimming beaches. The home is in its own bush environment, is private and is safe for small children under supervision and is in general ideal for a family holiday. Pets are welcome at Yfanwen.
Our walk-out (an alternative to using the car) is a bush pathway under the tree canopy leading for nearly 2 kilometres to Aucks Road, the main road between the Opua car ferry ramp and Russell.
The photo gallery tells you all about the house, the views and how to find us.

The location and the grounds were excellent. The home is basic but charming. However it is in need of a major overhaul of the bathroom and kitchen, and in particular, the toilet needs to be replaced. The bathrooms were not cleaned, the bedding needed immediate washing, the crockery needed to be re washed, the entire interior of the house was covered in cobwebs. The kitchen cupboards smelt of mice. There were no cleaning products so we had to purchase them in order to clean the house.
Beautiful cosy cottage right on the harbour, very private and a wonderful peaceful oasis. It was wonderful sitting on the verandah to watch the sun set and listen to the doves in the trees. Very handy to Russell, Opua and Paihia. I was very stressed from work and this was a wonderful way to de-stress. I would definitely stay there again!!
