*I prefer they/them pronouns. Gender neutral words please. I don't want to hear how much of a "great girl" or "amazing woman" I am because I don't identify as female.*
P.S. Any couples thinking of messaging me, please move along. Not interested in being a third wheel.
P.P.S. im not here for casual hook-ups, so creepers can go creep somewhere else too.
hello everyone! name's Kelsey. i live about a half hour south from Chicago. i love art and music of all sorts. im pretty much looking for fun interesting people to become friends with. i am looking for people to have fun with, no serious commitments at this point in life. im open to anyone who has similar interests to me, any gender is cool with me.
music: theres so much i listen to...i listen to alot of jrock/jpop like dir en grey, Acid Black Cherry, Buck-Tick, Girugamesh, The GazettE, Miyavi, Kanjani8, among others. i also listen to rock music of all kinds from AFI [have a tattoo for them], to Slayer, to The Ramones. im very very wide spread on the music i listen to, there not nearly enough room here to explain everything i listen to. to sum it up its mostly jrock/jpop, kpop, metal, and punk rock with everything else in between. ive also been getting into dubstep/techno quite a bit lately, i dig Skrillex, Deadmau5, The Crystal Method, Daft Punk, Basement Jaxx, Justice and The Chemical Brothers. Another group ive fallen in love with is Die Antwoord, Yolandi Visser is my hero because she is insane and gorgeous.
movies: Audition, Ichi the Killer, Battle Royale, Suicide Club, Tokyo Gore Police, LOTR/Hobbit series, The Crow, SLC Punk!, Nightmare Before Christmas, Boondock Saints, Tank Girl, Kill Bill 1 and 2, Fight Club, Pulp Fiction, Trainspotting, Requiem for a Dream, A Clockwork Orange. thats just a few. im into mainly foreign [usually japanese] films, horror [especially zombie films], and cult classics.
shows: i watch very little television. the only shows im heavily into are Supernatural, Sons of Anarchy, Vikings, True Blood, Being Human UK, Doctor Who [Ten being my favorite] and Misfits [the first two seasons, after that it went downhill]. oh, and im quite into wrestling...watch a lot of RAW and Smackdown, i grew up with it and think its hilarious and epic. its like a soap opera where youre allowed to beat the hell out of each other.
i am also into some anime, havent gotten too crazy over it yet though. the main ones that i love are Death Note, Fullmetal Alchemist, Soul Eater, Attack on Titan, Pokemon and Crayon Shin-Chan. i have also seen and enjoyed xxxHolic, Elfen Lied, Hellsing, Fooly Cooly, Vampire Knight, Trinity Blood, X, InuYasha, Cowboy Bebop, One Piece, Sailor Moon and Samurai 7.
im a bit of a gamer, when i have the patience for it. honestly, I watch more gameplay on YouTube than anything else. i like WoW, LOTRO, Skyrim, Silent Hill, Final Fantasy [7 being the favorite], Kingdom Hearts and Pokemon to name a few. i also play Portal, Left 4 Dead, Bioshock, Halo, Rock Band [im a beast on the drums], a bunch of Mario games and many more. i grew up on Nintendo games, i had pretty much every console.
food: theres so many different kinds of food i like, i like alot of asian foods, mexican, italian.
2. cannabis
3. art
4. nature
5. my brother
6. oxygen
as outspoken as i can be at times, i can be quite introverted too. i suffer from social anxiety. i rarely make the first move. it takes time for me to get comfortable with people.
oh, and im very much into the BDSM lifestyle. I am submissive, but clearly not a doormat. id appreciate if this topic isn't brought up immediately upon messaging me, it's annoying and creepy.
and can we PLEASE think of something to say other than "hey [insert annoying pet name here], what's up? [insert cheesy pick up line here]" come on people, ive given you plenty of ammo on my interests to start a conversation and you do have a brain, think of something attention-grabbing that isnt douchey and/or boring. at least make the attempt of getting to know me before you try getting into my pants. chivalry isnt completely dead you know. ignore this request, expect no response or a super bitchy one.
also, be in the 24-35 age range please and no, i wont make an exception for you. its ridiculously irritating when people ignore this, if you do so dont expect a response or for me to be nice if you decide to do that.

Jay Adams?
Didnt see it. The artist has agreed to smooth out the names and do it over.

Only the hockey-fanatical Canadians would read every name on the Cup to make sure it's legit. Here in 'Merika you could probably sneak into the Smithsonian and carve 'Nut Gobbler' into the f*ckin Rosetta Stone, no one would notice.
I hope Chris Senn, John Cardiel, & Templeton made it in there.
I watched 'Welcome to Hell' on YouTube the other day, it brought back so many good memories and made me wanna get back on the board.... Gotta do something else on this sh*t coast...

The Development of Renewable Electricity Policy in the Province of Ontario: The Influence of Ideas and Timing
This article examines the development of policy to promote renewable electricity in the province of Ontario (Canada) between 1995 and 2006. Drawing upon both the role of ideas in policy development and a "multiple streams approach," it is argued that changes in the problem, policy, and politics streams-and their coupling by key political entrepreneurs-account for two significant shifts in Ontario's efforts to promote the increased use of renewable electricity. The first shift occurred on July 3, 2003 when the Ontario Commissioner of Alternative Energy, Steve Gilchrist, announced that sole dependence upon free markets to support renewable electricity was being displaced by a new commitment to a renewable portfolio standard. The second shift occurred on March 21, 2006 when the Ontario Premier, Dalton McGuinty, announced that dependence upon a bidding system to promote renewable electricity was being supplemented by a commitment to feed-in tariffs. A focus upon the evolution of ideas, combined with an appreciation for timing, continues to provide the explanation for the development of renewable electricity policy in Ontario.

I'm new to this forum I'm a chp holder in Louisiana I ride a Harley and was wondering of ways to carry I have a kel tec pf9 and a glock 22 anyone have an option for me
first, are you north of I10 or south? some may not be aware of why I ask, but as you know the heat and humidity . now for your question, have the same situation as you I have found an IWB (crossbreed) to wok very well and stays Concealed with just a tee shirt.
I had a pocket clip on my PF9. It was comfortable, and very concealed.
Second, I have a Crossbreed, and love it... That being said, I will be ordering my next iwb from Theis holsters. Theis makes an almost identical holster to Crossbreed, but they are considerably cheaper. Also, there have been some recent posts regarding Crossbreed slipping in quality.
I have a PF9 and use a IWB holster in the small of my back. In cooler weather i just put it the inner pocket of my riding jacket.
There are leather vests that have concealed carry pockets inside available. I ride too and I think it would be very difficult to keep a handgun covered while out on the road. When I get my permit I am going to try the vest route, I usually wear one anyway.
I dont know if ur state allows open carry but i use a fobus elite concealed with my glock 30 when i ride sometimes you can see a little bit of my gun but open carry is legal here so i dont worry if it slips out a little
I'm south of I 10 I use a desantis soft tuck I thank yall for the responses
When riding I carry left handed. Usually a G36 open carry, although times I will conceal.
It would have to be an extreme situation when I would actually shoot from my bike, moving or stopped, but I have trained that way. Shooting left handed gives me control of the front brakes and throttle. I don't need the clutch lever for stopping, starting or changing gears. I usually carry left side hip holster in the 8-9 o'clock position. Training included shooting with riding gloves and helmet.
I can draw with my left hand from my right hand carry rig, normally. But trying to get it out when wearing tight leather and bent over the tank of a Ninja presents a challenge carrying left hand overcomes with ease. Although I normally carry right handed, I was born a lefty and shoot either hand without much difference.
A few years back, I came up on a group of riders pulled off and searching the field just off the road. I joined them. Turns out one of the kids took a low side and his Glock came out of the holster. He was fine, his bike was fine, his Glock was fine, but it took a dozen riders about 30 minutes to finally find his Glock tucked under a cactus! There were a few scratches on the rider, the bike and the Glock, and he learned a lesson about holster retention. Just something you might want to consider, if you haven't already thought about it, when selecting your carry method.

How Do You Manage Your Overspray When Airbrushing A Cake?
Decorating By sparklynne Updated 3 Aug 2008 , 8:30pm by gramofgwen
I am new to airbrushing and having just finished reading and laughing to myself about all the accidental Nostril colorings I too have been the victim of blue nostrils! I have one question that has been plaguing me. No matter how I try I always end up with overspray on my table tops and my cake boards. What are you using to mask out your cake boards from overspray? Everytime I see an airbrushed cake example it is nice and neat as a pin and I don't detect the slightest overspray. I am meticulous about trying to keep my board edges clean but just never seem to get them that clean without causing damage to my cakes. TIA
Get a large box and cut one side out of it. Use that side as the top so you have 3 sides and a bottom and place your cake in inside when sparying. This will keep overspray off of your table or counters. I don't put my cake on the final cake board until I'm ready to do the border. I use a board the same size as the cake then when ready to put on the display board just smear some BC in the center and place cake on top. Your display board will always be clean and neat.
Thank you Tiggy2 that makes a lot of sense now. I really appreciate you taking the time to help me out
I got one of those science fair tri-fold boards at Walmart. I put a vinyl cloth on the table and place the tri-fold board around the work area. I've never had a problem with overspray that way. I also take narrow pieces of waxed paper and put them around the bottom of the cake, tucking in slightly, and pull them them when finished. This gives a clean edge to the cake.

Gunner set for PSG switch
By Patrick Haond
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
The 24-year-old is reported to have concurred on a four-year deal with PSG, though the capital club have still to agree a fee with Arsenal.
This should be little more than a formality as the stopper has failed to force his way into Arsene Wenger's first-team plans since arriving from Iraklis Salonika in the summer of 2000, and a fee of around é¼2 million (£1.2 million) should be enough to secure his services.
Tavlaridis joined Lille during the January transfer window, and helped the club to a tenth-placed finish in Le Championnat.
Tavlaridis will become the second Lille player to head to the Parc des Princes this summer after full back Stephane Pichot sealed his switch earlier in the week.
Meanwhile, Tavlaridis's former defensive partner at Lille, Eric Abidal also looks set to leave Stade Grimonprez-Jooris - with England now his most likely destination.
The highly-rated 24-year-old was attracting the interest of, ironically, PSG, and Lyon, but both were scared off by Lille's é¼7 million price-tag.
Abidal was previously a target for Fulham and has admitted an admiration for the English game, although he insisted his priority was to move to another French outfit this summer.
However, the powerful stopper - whose style would seem suited to life in The Premiership - could now be heading across the Channel as he bids to secure a move from Lille.

The Darkmatter Xbox laptop gives users with something that few device makers can offer: the pride of assembling your own device. That said, those who prefer to not go through assembling the Darkmatter may order a pre-assembled device, instead.
Created by the Austin, Texas-based startup Techjango, Darkmatter boasts of being the first open source Xbox laptop that is compatible with Arduino. The device's panels are made of 3 mm black acrylic whereas the parts were created through a Makerbot Replicator 2 3D printer out of ABS plastic. The Darkmatter logo, which is found on the laptop's lid, is also laser-cut and glowing, lending the device a professional look.
Darkmatter features an Arduino-based custom-made board known as the Xduino360. It comes with a capacitive touch interface with controls such as Power, Eject, volume adjustment, and sync.
Among its specifications are a 720p HD widescreen backlit LED display with a resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels, Wi-Fi connectivity, 4GB storage, internal DVD, D-type 3W internal stereo amplifier, dual internal 3W speakers, and a stereo audio jack. An innovative cooling system allows the device to maintain a slim profile.
The compact console also supports Microsoft Kinect and Xbox apps and peripherals. Darkmatter carries support for Xbox 360, as well as Xbox ONE, the latter only for those who are going to order the complete kit.
Those who are interested in offering their support for the laptop may contribute as little as $10 to the campaign. $75 entitles backers to an Xduino 360 board, while $199 gives backers a complete casing kit, but excludes the electronic parts. A complete kit, for those who want to assemble the Darkmatter themselves costs $499, whereas a pre-assembled and tested laptop costs $999.
The team behind Darkmatter hopes to raise $25,000 for the project which will go on for 30 days on Kickstarter.

How does a music player make a difference?

Superlatives in so many parts combine to create an overwhelmingly rich and detailed sound experience. It's hard to describe a piece of gear which, upon listening, sounds different than anything you've heard, yet sounds so completely effortless and musical that you're left with the singular impression that the previous way you've listened to music is somehow incomplete, a wrong path if you will, and that this is clearly a better way.

A CHARITY set up in memory of a Dorchester musician has been given a boost with a £1,000 donation.
Union Unite chose the Steve Charles Help a Friend Fund as one of their charity recipients and regional officer Steve Attwill and senior steward Steve Major presented the cheque to fund chairman Ben King at the Colliton Club.
The charity was started to pay for private treatment for Mr Charles in his final stages of throat cancer, and friends have continued fundraising in his memory to help others afford their own healthcare.
Mr Major said: "I knew Steve since I was a teenager, through music and football.
"It was such a tragedy that he died, and this charity has brought to mind what it is we can do to help other people.
"It is nice to have that link but the union does a lot to help charities and good causes."
Mr Attwill added: "It's not just about arguing over pay and pensions. We have supported the Terras youth football club in the past, as well as the Living Wage Campaign in Dorset."
Mr King said the money would help the charity to 'really make a difference' in the community.
He added: "We are receiving requests on a fairly regular basis at the moment, and hopefully we will be putting on another fundraising event later this year.
"It all started quite small, but over the last two years the charity has just grown and grown."
Jack Daniels, a close friend of Mr Charles, said: "It's just amazing because this donation came completely out of the blue.
"We have had such a lot of support from the community, and it never fails to amaze me how generous people can be when times are so hard.
"The idea is people can come to us if they have a friend in need.
"It's perfect for a small town like Dorchester where everyone knows each other."

The Itsekiri nation yesterday formally confirmed the death of their traditional ruler, His Royal Majesty Ogiame Atuwatse II, the Olu of Warri, and immediately announced a new successor to the throne, Prince Godfrey Ikenwoli Emiko, who was officially presented to the public.
Consequent upon this announcement, a 90-day mourning period was declared as a traditional mark of respect to the 70 years old monarch, who reigned on the throne of his ancestors for 28 years.
Within this period, every adult male and female of Itsekiri nation will tie their wrappers upside down, just as there will be no burial ceremony, drumming or any other form of party within the 90 days mourning period.
The unveiling of the new Olu of Warri, was announced in the presence of a mammoth crowd of Itsekiri nation at Ode-Itsekiri popularly called the big Warri, Warri South Local Government Area, by the most senior Chief and a member of the Olu Advisory Council and the Ojomo of Warri Kingdom, Chief Tesigiweno Yahya Pessu, after performing the required traditional rites.
Chief Pessu performed a traditional rite of smashing on ground for about three times a substance tied in red cloth symbolising the end of the era of Ogiame Atuwatse II.
This was greeted by several cannon shots fired into the air as mark of respect to the late Warri monarch according to the custom of the Itsekiri people.
Speaking after the official presentation of the Olu designate, Chief Pessu, said the jubilant mammoth crowd, who spontaneously jumped into celebration in spite of their mourning mood, signifies mass acceptance of the Olu designate, Prince Godfrey Ikenwoli Emiko.
"You can see the mammoth crowd of acceptance. It is evident of acceptance. The significance of the rite I performed is to tell the Itsekiri people the passing away of the king. And when a king passes away, a new king is installed immediately. So that is the way we announce the passing away of our monarch.
"All Itsekiris all over the world should be in mourning mood. They should be mourning until the burial ceremony is performed. This will take up to three months (90 days). All Itsekiri adult male and female should tie their wrappers upside down, but the Chiefs don't do it.
"Then no parties, drumming, no burial for these period of 90 days. We are in a mourning situation now all over Itsekiri land until the burial rite is performed and a new king is installed."
Other Itsekiri Chiefs who were at the ceremony were Chief Thomas Ereyitomi, the Akatigbi-Ayeola of Warri; Mr. Edward Ekpoko, Secretary Itsekiri Leaders of Thought and Chairman, Warri Study Group, Chief Otimeyin Adams; the Aguinode of Warri and Prof. Jim Omatseye Nesin.
But Ereyitomi said, "The significance of today's event is very clear. It is to clear the rumour that is in circulation over the demise of the Olu of Warri and that which the Itsekiri nation has done today by letting the whole world know that we have lost Olu, that the Olu has joined his ancestors and to present a successor.
On the selection process, Mr. Edward Ekpoko said that the choice of Prince Godfrey Ikenwoli Emiko as Olu designate was as a result of non-qualification of the first son of the late Olu of Warri, Prince Tsola.
This he said was largely due to the fact that Prince Tsola's mother was not from Itsekiri nation neither is she from Benin kingdom.
It was gathered that Itsekiri tradition is clear on who becomes the Olu of Warri, which lucidly states that the person's mother must be Itsekiri or come from Benin Kingdom before he can be chosen.
The document was produced following a commission of enquiry set up by the state government in 1977. Besides being a prince born by an Edo or Itsekiri mother, the document specifies that he must be born by one of the last three Olus.
The Olu designate, Prince Godfrey Ikenwole Emiko is Graduate of Business Administration from the University of Benin. Prince Ikenwoli Emiko fulfilled the requirements in the 1979 Gazette of the defunct Bendel State (applicable to Delta State).
A seven-man committee, comprising the five members of the Olu Advisory Council and two other members, usually nominated by the Ologbosere of Warri, chose the Olu-designated.
Besides the Ologbosere, other members of the advisory council include the Uwangue, Iyesere, Ojomo and Osodi of Warri Kingdom. Only the Ojomo and Otsodi stools are currently occupied; the last Ologbotsere, Pa Alfred Rewane, has not been replaced since his demise in 1995.
The Iyesere, Chief Gabriel Mabiaku, died recently and his position too has not been filled.
The process of choosing a new Olu fell on Chief Isaac Jemide, the Otsodi, and Chief Pessu, the Ojomo.
The Itsekiri nation yesterday formally confirmed the death of their traditional ruler, His Royal Majesty Ogiame Atuwatse II, the Olu of Warri, and immediately announced a new successor to the throne, Prince Godfrey Ikenwoli Emiko, who was officially presented to the public.

Hi! I need a template for a mortar board. I know the top is a basic square but the portion that fits on the head is what I am trying to figure out. I dont want to just do a cylinder.
for deco for top of cake:
pick a bowl the size of the "head" you want to put it on (could be any round shape -- even a tennis ball cut in half -- or if you have one, the mini half-ball pans.
drape fondant/gumpaste on it and then trim to get the shape you like and allow to harden in place.
if use a bowl, the flat bottom will make attaching the square board all that much easier.
now if you want a cake that looks like the hat ...
then bake the cake in a glass or metal bowl.
(ditto to making it easy to attach the board)
Thanks Doug! I have a small condement bowl that will work perfectly.


text: First I wanna say I love the phone and what it can do, its just not functional enough for me and running my biz. So I waited 3 and a half weeks for the phone to arrive, which i was semi patient about, you can check the post I had about how Impatient I was while waiting lol, but I'm just finding it not as easy to use as I need it to be. I'm coming from a blackberry and it was very very easy to manage accounts, text, emails, missed calls, voicemails, all under 1 "Messages" button. The Droid has the Notifications slide down which shows them but once you click them, you can't see them again unless you open the individual app for that notification. Something I'm not used to and truly don't have time to become accustomed to. Fragmented App Store. Need I say more? Lack of Close button on 99% of the apps you use in the phone. Pretty standard on a Berry, where you can have a bunch of apps working at once and they'll be open but there is always an option to close in the menu. Battery life is tragic, but the 1750 battery I purchased last me all day now, guess I have to sell that now too. Also bought Zagg and a Seidio innocase was on its way but I canceled that. Texting while using the side KB, the screen on the phone isn't centered so when I'm texting and hitting space, I keep hitting the period button. My thumbs are the same legnth so this is pretty annoying! Other than those things its a great phone. Very open format. Gonna play sonic 2 tonight on the Genesis emulator before checking out what I have to do to return it tomorrow. Its only a week old. Gonna miss the google maps app, it TALKS to you! Speech to text, The browser is awesome, gonna miss that too. AMOLED. Now I'm off to call Verizon and figure out what the return procedure is. By The way, thanks for all the help and info. If i get an android phone in the future I know where to go for help. Love this forum. Thanks all

I have a Cricut Expression and have seen hints that I might be able to cut fondant with it. Any help would be appreciated -
Do a search for cricut and you will get more info then you know what to do with.
I assume you are using the Expression machine and not the new Cricut for Cake Decorating.
Cutting fondant can be messy. I believe it is better to cut a mix of 1/2 fondant to 1/2 sugarpaste or one tesp of tylose to one pound of fondant. Turn sticky mat over and lightly grease it. Replace your regular cutting blade with a longer one. Roll fondant thinly and place it on you greased mat. Then run it through.
Good luck.
I cut gumpaste with the cricut. I bought a DVD from Linda McClure and have not looked back...I suggest starting there Good luck!
I believe she already has the DVD.

Take a Leap
There are moments in your life where the only direction to go requires a large leap of incredible faith.
These moments have the possibility to define the remainder of our life and the direction in which we live it.
There is no guarantee. There is no definite success. Just abounding faith and limitless possibility.
There have been many times in my life where I felt that the energy it took to remain playing small far outweighing the energy to simply allow.
It was in those moments that the leap no longer felt so far, it no longer felt like a leap but a gentle nudge from the Universe.
The truth is that the Universe is begging to show up for you. She is wanting nothing more than for you to stand in your brilliance, bask in your truth and lead with your heart. She shows up every time, full of love and ready to play.
It is our own selves that diminish that fire. We tell ourselves it is safer to stay small, to stay on the ledge, to not leap.
Well beautiful I am here to say take the leap, make the jump, risk it all, for the Universe will always put her on your wings until you learn how to fly.
xo nicki
To assist you on your leap of faith, wear the Fire Allies mala. Lava has been called the physical embodiment of fire.

Pink Glove Dance
In order to raise breast cancer awareness, Providence St. Vincent Medical Center in Portland, Oregon produced the Pink Glove Dance for Breast Cancer Awareness. Their hope was that they could get 1,000,000 hits to help raise money. In just one month they're nearly at the 5.5 million mark.
It's fun and inspiring. Take a moment and let it make you smile ;-) xxx

That was great! As a menopausal breast cancer survivor I really enjoy the way you raise awareness. I'm working with Todd Youngblood of ChiliTechnology to get the word out about the ChiliPad. It's really simple and small, just a mattress pad that can both heat and cool the bed, but it works surprisingly well. It's so much easier to deal with menopause symptoms when you can get a full night's sleep. I started using my ChiliPad during perimenopause because my tossing and turning was keeping my husband up at night, and as I progressed I kept adding fans to the room. He actually moved onto the couch in the basement for a while. :( We got the dual zone ChiliPad which lets me set the temperature of my side of the bed independently from his - and it's nice to have him back by my side!

That is a real nice thing done by the medical fraternity.I think there should be more kindness and help for the diseases which harass the patients mentally.

Anne's Mountain Range
By MOLLY O'NEILL
Published: December 3, 1995
Anne Desjardins was always fascinated with nature, withexotic countries and locales. Growing up in Montreal, in a family that traveled extensively, she pored over National Geographic magazines the way the other young girls devoured Nancy Drew. Each new vista changed her. In fact, "transformative" is one of Desjardins's favorite words. To the 44-year-old chef and co-owner of L'Eau a la Bouche in the Laurentian Mountains in Canada, transformative is the highest compliment she can bestow.
But she is much too modest to take credit for transforming her nation's cooking, even if others say she is to Canada what Alice Waters is to California. "Keep in mind that when I opened in 1979, fresh broccoli was a radical concept," she says wryly, "and very few chefs thought beyond steak, meat pies and trout."
Desjardins staged a revolution merely by making French food lighter, and by using fresh ingredients. But perhaps her most daring idea was to place her faith in the customers. "They might not be able to articulate the difference between good and mediocre, but they know that a great dinner can change them, that they might never see the world the same again."
After training as a geographer and failing to find a job, Desjardins and her partner, Pierre Audette, bought an old house by the side of a road in Ste. Adele, and turned it into a 40-seat restaurant. In English, L'Eau a la Bouche means "mouthwatering," though Desjardins says "it's a prettier, more complicated phrase in French, having to do with a style of living."
What the partners lacked in experience, they made up for in enthusiasm. Their notions of freshness and purity, of healthfulness and simplicity, had more staying power, jokes Desjardins "than some of our other crazy ideas."
In short order, the cozy country restaurant and its lively French-style cooking was packed with wealthy weekend people from Montreal. Even now, with an additional 30 seats, it is difficult to get a table.
Desjardins may have a reputation as an innovator, but in fact, she is a cautious cook. She takes a familiar dish, like a squash puree, the soul of mountain cooking, and changes it ever so subtly, using chicken broth rather than butter and cream for a soup; dollops of goat cheese and chives are the surprise.
Roasts are another mainstay of the region, and she honors that tradition, only her way. Instead of beef, she uses veal and fresh herbs rather than just salt and pepper. Indeed, the changes are so imperceptible that Desjardins's cooking treads a difficult line. Somehow, it manages to comfort and excite all at the same time.
A small network of family farmers, fishermen and foragers has allowed her to explore the roots of Laurentian food in great depth. This can play itself out with something as simple as maple syrup, which she uses to sweeten a frozen mousse in what has to be the ultimate Canadian dessert.
"Food inspires me," she says. "I get attracted to something, fall in love with it, imagine changing it and in the end, I get changed, my customers get changed."
Or as Desjardins is wont to say: It's transformative.
Squash Soup With Goat Cheese and Chives
1 medium butternut squash (about 2 1/2 pounds), halved lengthwise, seeds and fibers scooped out 3 1/2 cups chicken broth, homemade or low-sodium canned 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more to taste Freshly ground pepper to taste 3 ounces goat cheese 8 fresh chives or 2 scallions, green parts only, thinly sliced.
1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Place the squash on a baking sheet, cut side down, and bake until very soft, about 1 hour. When cool enough to handle, scoop the flesh out and place in a food processor or blender. Process until pureed. Add the chicken broth, salt and pepper. Process until smooth.
2. Just before serving, scrape the soup into a medium saucepan and place over medium heat until hot. Season with additional salt, if needed. Ladle into 4 bowls and crumble goat cheese into each one. Garnish with chives and serve.
Yield: Four servings.
Roast Loin of Veal With Root Vegetables
4 carrots, peeled and julienned 4 parsnips, peeled and julienned 1 leek, washed well and julienned 2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more to taste Freshly ground pepper to taste 2 pounds loin of veal, boned and tied 3 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme 1/2 cup dry sherry 1/2 cup chicken broth, homemade or low-sodium canned 1 tablespoon cold unsalted butter.
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place the carrots, parsnips and leeks in a roasting pan and toss with 1 teaspoon of salt and pepper. Place the veal over the vegetables. Season the meat with 1 teaspoon of salt, pepper and 2 teaspoons of thyme and set aside, so the meat can come to room temperature while you assemble the gratin (see recipe below).
2. Place the roast in the oven and cook until barely pink in the center, about 1 hour.
3. Carefully remove the veal and the vegetables from the pan and tent with foil to keep warm. For the veal sauce, place the pan over medium-high heat and pour in the sherry and broth. Cook, scraping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon, until liquid is reduced to 1/2 cup, about 5 minutes. Add the butter and whisk until just combined. Remove from the heat and season with salt and pepper to taste.

It was a Tuesday afternoon after school had finished. Ross left the PE hall and entered the changing room. It was empty, so he started undressing and got naked, all the way down to his boxers. They were tight, showing off his fit buttocks and giving off a clear view of the humungous size of his cock. Ross was a sporty guy, with thin, but muscly arms and a great set of abs, which formed a beautiful eight-pack. He had long legs, muscly legs as he was a cycler. He walked over to the showers, which were shared, giving no cover to hide your naked body. Generally, when people wanted to shower after PE in our school, they brought a spare pair of boxers and showered in the ones they were wearing, so as to not get caught naked. Ross got under the warm water of the shower, got the shower gel, and started rubbing himself. His hands slowly went down into his pulsating dick. He played with it for a while, and then left the shower. He walked over to his bag, and proceeded to take his clothes out of it.
Ryan left the bathroom after taking a piss. He thought he had been alone, so walked into the changing rooms with only his boxers on. They were too big for him, loose, and left his cock hanging out of the side, visible to all. He did this on purpose; trying to get people to notice it, so he could catch them looking. It turned him on something serious. He caught a glimpse of Ross. He looked down to see his wet boxers clinging to his ass, showing off how tight it was. He wanted to go over there and stick his fingers up Ross. He refrained from doing so. His stuff had been beside Ross', so he went over and start to get changed. He did so as slowly as possible.
Ross looked over a Ryan, noticing his huge cock coming out of his boxers. He couldn't help but feel aroused. He looked away, trying to hide his oncoming erection. Ross bent over, taking off his boxers in the process. Ryan reacted wildly, sucking his finger and sticking it up Ross' ass. Ross jumped, but slowly started to enjoy what was happening to him. He pulled away and turned around, displaying his hard, eight and a half inch cock, and massive ball sack to Ryan. He leaned into Ryan and kissed him. Whilst kissing, Ryan put his hand on Ross' ass and started to play with his cheeks. After this, Ryan slowly started to kiss down Ross' chest. He stopped at his hard nipples, and stuck his tongue in and around them, even sucking them in the process. He continued down, licking Ross' glorious abs on the way down to his succulent cock.
Ryan placed his hand on Ross' cock, pulling it up and down. He slowly started to lick the top, sticking his tongue through the foreskin. Ryan had never had such a huge erection in his life. He stuck his hands down his own boxers and played with his cock. Ryan then put the whole cock in his mouth and started sucking and deep-throated several times. After this, he moved on down to his balls, and put one in his mouth and sucked. Ross moaned in delight. Ryan turned Ross around and separated his butt-cheeks. He poked his tongue in through Ross' asshole, it tasted delicious. Ross kept moaning, and stuck his hand on the back of Ryan's head, pulling him in closer. Ryan started fingering him as well, and Ross couldn't wait any longer. He grabbed Ryan's cock and stuck it in his mouth, and placing his hand around on Ryan's cheek, squeezing it.
Ryan pulled away from Ross and turned him around. He grabbed his own cock and wet Ross' ass again. He slowly penetrated a groaning Ross. He started moving in and out of Ross slowly, and eventually began picking up speed. Ross grabbed onto the bench, his ass up in the air. This continued for a good five minutes, when Ryan lay down their clothes onto the floor and threw Ross' legs up in the air, resting them on his shoulder. He stuck his cock back inside him, leaned over him and fucked him whilst kissing him. Ross had been dreaming about this day for months. The next thing they heard was the changing room door open. And they could never have guessed who walked in.

Cable sells services, not technology–or at least, that's the message WSNet is trying to deliver to rural cable operators with a new marketing tool crafted to lure digital cable subscribers and keep them away from DBS.
WSNet, which helps small- and medium-sized operators deliver affordable digital programming, will launch in the fourth quarter a consumer marketing campaign, touting "That's so amazing!" as its key message. The campaign will be comprised of a mix of customizable marketing tactics, including 30-second spots, longer-form commercials, print ads, bill inserts, direct mail pieces and radio spots.
Rural and mid-sized operators can use the help because DBS "represents a very powerful marketing force" with a polished look, says Tim Evard, WSNet's senior vice president of sales and marketing. "It's important to be local, but it's also important to have the same perceived substance in your product. To launch [digital cable] is only half the battle. You have to market it head-to-head."

Filed under: Performance Monitoring
We've got another video in our series on common web app performance problems. This time – we're looking into how to identify and solve query loop problems. Today we're going to use TraceView to investigate ORMs and their performance within a PHP application.
Our PHP application is built on the CodeIgniter framework, and we're using CodeIgniter's built-in ORM. ORMs can be great – they simplify your code, allow cleaner abstractions and even help prevent some common security issues, like SQL injection.
The application we're looking at here is a DB-heavy app — the largest bar in the chart above is the PDO layer. We're looking at about 3,000 requests in the last 24 hours and, on average, each request spends about 300ms in the database, and only 100ms in PHP itself. We can see more about what the DB is doing by clicking on that layer.
In addition to removing the other layers from our app, we've also changed what we're looking at slightly. Instead of seeing that 300ms time, we're now only seeing an average of less than 1ms. The reason for that is we're now looking at individual calls to the database, instead of the total time per request. This change is also reflected at the top of the page — instead of just 3,500 requests, we actually see nearly 800k database queries being made over the same time period.
We can also look at this data through the heatmap, which confirms what we were seeing in the average. The upper bound, which defaults to the 98th percentile, is just around 50ms. The vast majority of calls to our database are fast. To understand why our requests are still relatively slow, let's switch over to the list of traces, and look at an individual request.
The request view here shows not only the timings of layers within our data, but also the structure. The Trace Notes below the main visualization actually show us the (fingerprinted) query we made, and how often we made it. The time we saw spent in the database isn't from slow queries, it's from looping over the same fast query more than 250 times.
To see the full query, let's drill down on one of these segments. Along with a backtrace, this exposes the full SQL query. The literals here are the limit and offset parameters generated by the ORM, and we're only selecting a single row on each of these calls! This is a classic issue with ORMs, known as the "N+1″ problem. Instead of doing a join or a finite number of queries to each table we need information from, we're selecting a number of objects from the DB, then accessing a property on each object that requires a fetch from a separate table. We could make this much faster by rewriting this data access to batch up these calls. That would reduce this down to merely two database queries, avoiding the overhead of those 250 trips, and give us a much more responsive website.
More videos to follow
This video wraps up the Common Web App Performance Video Series we've produced. Using TraceView, we've identified and solved the most common performance problems in web applications. Take a moment to see our videos on Webserver Queueing and Slow Query. And, if you'd like to see future videos on other common web app performance problems, leave us a note below.

The eventual has happened again. The company I have been at for 6 years has been sold. I still get to keep a position for now (or so I have been told) and the benefits will be cheaper as the new company is much larger. But it got me to wondering.
I have never worked for a company that has not be either bought or sold or both during the time that I have worked for them. My entire adult life every company I have worked for has changed hands. But there are people here with 24+ years. I try to reassure them it usually works out just fine and that I have been through this with only 2 horror stories in 12 sales. But that is still 17% bad to some.
So I want to know what are your horror stories having to do with the sale of your company?

Twice, and running about 50-50 on that. One was good, the other bad in that the new management started playing games (telling us one thing and doing another),
Jul 6, 2011 at 10:14 UTC
I'm working for a company that was just acquired. I lost all of my benefits at the end of June. Still haven't been hired on. I have a sick baby and no health insurance. It's a terrible situation.
I took a risk when I accepted the job here. The potential for growth was amazing, it's just that with the economic climate we couldn't get the investments we needed to implement the business plan.
My next move will be less risk and more stability (and less growth).

DD Technology Services is an IT service provider.
Three times my company was sold, three times I ended up being laid off. 100% bad. I guess it depends on the size of the acquiring company. If it's large enough, as it was in my experiences, they will absorb the IT function quickly and eliminate any redundancies. But who knows, maybe I was just unlucky.
Jul 6, 2011 at 12:05 UTC
not been bought or sold.
lucky me!!!!
Jul 6, 2011 at 3:05 UTC
Never been bought and sold but have heard good and bad stories from people who have.
Jul 6, 2011 at 3:07 UTC
I took a job at a company that was bought out by a much larger corporation shortly thereafter. Things started to get ugly, so I jumped ship. From what I've heard from the people that I worked with there, it got a lot worse. Soooo glad I got out of there when I did.
Jul 6, 2011 at 3:24 UTC
passed on a job with a place that was bought and closed 6 months later - so very lucky i didn't take that one. never worked anywhere that has been bought either.

I've worked for a casino, and a county seat, technically I've never been bought and sold. But,in government when budget times comes around , there is definitely gambling going on.
Jul 7, 2011 at 11:43 UTC
The company i am working for was bought by a startup a few years ago. Quite a few people jumped ship at the time. That is how the IT position opened up that I applied for within the same company. The company says they don't plan on selling us anytime soon but I think once the economy turns around they will start off-loading properties. So it worked out good for me.
Jul 7, 2011 at 11:44 UTC
Two. Survived the culling both times.
Mergers of large companies can be en-mass layoffs, which is unpleasant, and have not had that. Do know other whom have, including siblings.
A favorite line from one who had been through such mergers noted how he had worked for three companies in the last ten years, yet never needed to move his desk.

Left job back in 2002 for this new, great up-and-coming company whose customers were chomping at the bit and "couldn't get enough." We were told "don't come back until it's finished/working", at which point, I looked at my co-worker who'd been there a long time and said "What was that all about?!?" to which she told me me that their software had never worked right. Sheesh! No problem, I thought. The problems they were having I could definitely fix. I was a Visual FoxPro expert programmer and I could see the problem at the core and fix it within 12 weeks. New company buys us shortly after I started, then proceeds to not let me fix the product because they want to replace it with something they're building on their own. I came to work every day for 7 months wondering if I'd be laid off. Finally happened, and when it did, I was the happiest guy in the room. They're replacement product never took off and was frought with problems. Karma, baby.

A Seasonal Life, a Short History of Herding, and the Art of Making Cheese

Goat Song is the story of a year in the life of a couple who abandoned their one-bedroom apartment in New York City to live on seventy-five acres in Vermont and raise Nubian goats. In poetic, reverent detail, Brad Kessler explores our ancient relationship to the land and our gradual alienation from the animals that feed us. His fascinating account traces his journey of choosing the goats and learning how to breed, milk, and care for them. As Kessler begins to live the life of a herder, he encounters the pastoral roots of so many aspects of Western culture--how our diet, our alphabet, our religions, poetry, and economy all grew out of a pastoralist setting, a life lived among hoofed animals.
Praise For Goat Song…
"A wonderous little miracle of a book."--Tom Ashbrook, National Public Radio
"Goat Song offers a meditation on the pastoral life…that will make an urbanite regret having missed the experience."— The Wall Street Journal
"The writing is so beautiful you want to reread sentences to savor it."--San Francisco Chronicle
"A multi-layered, smart, erudite, and incredibly well written book."--Christian Science Monitor

A New Home
Here are a few photos of the new place... and moving in!
We had so much help moving day... so thankful!
Even our little niece was carrying boxes in. She's a tough gal!
Dining room... I was so excited about the open stone fireplace! Slate floor... something I've never seen before; it's growing on me.
Living room... green carpet in all it's glory! At least it's in good condition and clean. But it's soon to be replaced with reclaimed wood.
I need curtains in here. I saw a couple ideas in an old Country Living magazine... now to decide which one get the material!
Kitchen. Barn siding walls, farm cabinets, I like... My farm decor fits in well!
I really want light fixtures and new wood flooring here too.
The kitchen island is going to get a makeover. Painted beadboard backing, raised steel bar top on this side, and we got short, chunky legs with little wheels that we're putting it up on.
Getting photos of whole rooms is so hard to get and properly show. There's not really any detail shots, but I feel
like I'm still working on it all. But I'm sure that feeling will never go away!
I made kitchen curtains but I still need curtains for all the other rooms! Let me know if you see any cute ideas!
We do have a mudroom/ laundry room, office, 3 bedrooms, and thankfully a bathroom, but I didn't get photos of everything!
I just realized I don't have any of the outside of the house either!
Now I best get going... I feel the need to decorate!

... and ready for this stage of life to be over; even more ready for the next stage to start!
But contentment has called and thankfulness has been commanded, therefore I rest in His peace and grace.
~He has blessed me with a beautiful pregnancy, one that has been mostly pleasant and completely miraculous.
~He has blessed me with the most wonderful man who has praised me and supported me and even given back rubs and little gifts along the way (like the rose he picked and
Jeni's Ice Cream
he brought me.
~He has blessed me with the strength to get through each day. And not only to get through but to enjoy the days.
~He has blessed me with promises of forming our little girl just as He desires. (Psalm 139:13-18, Genesis 1:27)
~He has blessed me with wonderful family and friends who have given so much of time and gifts to get ready for a little girl in our home. (She will be well dressed... I won't have to ever do laundry for her, she can just get out the next cute little dress!)
~And all of these blessings reflect the love he has for me, Baby Girl, and her daddy, which is the biggest blessing of all.
I praise you, Father, for what you're doing in our lives.
Next week I should have photos of the nursery. We mostly have it done. The last coat of paint is getting sprayed on the crib tonight and it's getting moved in tomorrow night. Then it'll be time for last touches and photos.
I'm sorry I haven't done too well with getting posts and photos up. We don't have internet at our house so I try to do one or two on my Monday morning
Boston Stoker
We have had an exciting and busy last several weeks, without the camera, however, so just take my word for it!
My brother's wedding is this coming Sunday (yes, my due date is Monday). And (if we make it) I will do my very best to remember the camera.
Have a blessed week... xoxo!

38 Weeks!
Today I am at 38 weeks. I'm just praying the next couple weeks (or however long it takes yet) goes faster than this last week! It's seem to go on and on...
Her nursery isn't quite finished yet, still needing to get the crib and dresser painted. I'm hoping to get that done this week, with a mask of course!
I'll get photos up as soon as it's finished.
Have a blessed week!

text: Namitha is going to wear a two pieces of bikini suit in yet another film after film Indhira Vizha. The buxom beauty of Tamil Cinema industry is now in Mauritius for shooting a duet with Sundar C, for film Perumal, directed by Vincent Selva. The special feature about the song is the costume of the actress. She will appear with Sundar C in two pieces of bikini with the romantic background of Mauritius sea side. After knowing this, most of her directors and producers have been approaching Namitha with a request to make her to appear atleast in a scene with such costume in their films. But the actress coolly replied them with a positive nod! Perumal is the story about a tough cop and for the first time Sundar C, the busy director turned actor is going to play a cops role. Meenakshi is the other heroine in the film who is also has a duet in different locations of Mauritius.

Cleaning Up Garbage

On the plus side, the compiler still self-hosts in only a few seconds, so it's not nearly as horrid as it could be.
On the down side, there's a persistent crash deep in the garbage collector that seems to be related to getting invalid stack information from LLVM. This sort of thing has been a plague in the past, and I've lost a lot of hair trying to figure out similar bugs before.
So today's adventure is going to be debugging-heavy!
The first thing I need is a repro. Thankfully, self-hosting the compiler faithfully crashes in the same spot every time. Initially, I run the compiler under the debugger with a Release runtime, hoping it will be fast enough to not drive me insane.
Unfortunately, there's a nasty gotcha to running even Release-built programs under the Visual Studio debugger: all memory allocations go through a slow "debug" allocator. This slows the debugged runtime down to a crawl, and after ten minutes of waiting for the compiler to parse a single file, I said screw it and looked up a way to kill that behavior.
(For the record, set the environment variable _NO_DEBUG_HEAP to 1, reboot, and VS will quit doing this.)
Sadly, even with a fast runtime to test against, it's a Release build, which means that there's far too much optimization going on to easily unravel why this crash is occurring. So back to Debug builds we go!
I get a debug build running soon enough, and after waiting the requisite ten years for LLVM to start up in Debug mode, I quickly discover a new problem: stack overflow!
This is an interesting side effect of debug builds. They don't inline functions, so common Standard Library containers end up using an order of magnitude more stack space for simple operations than they do in optimized builds. Epoch, being very happy to implement lots of things using recursion, finds stack space to be at a premium. Part of the complicating factor here is that the garbage collector itself is recursive, so it too wants a lot of stack space.
So it looks like my next task is to rewrite the recursive garbage collector to be iterative instead. Hurray. Thankfully, it's not terribly hard, and only takes a few minutes. Now to run this debug build again...
After what feels like an eternity or three, the debugger halts - access violation! We're making progress!
A careful examination of the crashed process reveals that the cause of the bug is probably a recent change to the way pattern matching and type decomposition are implemented; there are now locations in the code where stack roots are not initialized to zero, meaning that the garbage collector will happily walk into garbage random memory addresses trying to discover reachable objects.
In order to confirm this theory, I need to dump out the LLVM IR for the compiled program - which weighs in at around 6MB.
Analyzing the LLVM IR seems to corroborate my suspicions. There are indeed edge cases where pattern-matched functions could wind up passing bogus stack roots to the garbage collector. There are two options for fixing this: either figure out a way to eliminate the edge case at code-generation time, or just remove the hack that caused them to be created in the first place.
After waffling for a few minutes, I choose to remove the hack. It'll cost a bit of performance, but stability is more important.
Of course, nothing can ever be that easy. Even with the optimization hack removed, the crash occurs. There must be something deeper going on here.
It takes some deep diving, but I eventually notice something that might be related to the problem. In LLVM, the meta-instruction for flagging a variable as being a stack root is required to appear at the beginning of the function's code (first basic block, to be strictly accurate). In the dumped IR, there are many locations where this is being violated. I wonder if that's stomping on the ability of the JIT to accurately locate stack roots... in any case, it merits investigation.
Examining my code reveals that the fault doesn't lie in the emission of stack root markers; there must be something in LLVM that rearranges them somehow, although disabling all of the LLVM optimization passes fails to correct the crash, so maybe it was a red herring all along.
I need a simpler repro case, or I'm going to go insane waiting for this slow code to run. Thankfully, getting a working compiler back is just a matter of turning the GC back off for the time being, so I can build a simple test-case program.
Annoyingly, the first test case I build works fine, garbage collection and all.
Eventually, the head-scratching gets old and boring, and I think it's time to take a break from this sucker for a while. I'm not making any progress and I've quit thinking clearly; more just staring blankly at the screen hoping for inspiration.
So yeah... we'll try this again later!
