The demo itself will be pretty quick. I'll show people the basics on how to cut out and make characters with cheese, then apply nori. After that, it'll mostly be a hands-on, have-tons-of-fun session where you get to make your own!
I believe the event will be in the downstairs meeting room, but I've never been down there, so if you're not sure either, it's best to head to the front desk first and ask for directions. Hope to see you there!
After the event, I'll have some books on hand (both Yum-Yum Bento and Yum-Yum Bento All Year Round) that participants can purchase and get signed.
Hope to see you there!]]>
We made two bento—one for adults and one charaben—and after the last class, while my students were making their charabens, I played around with my cutters and made a lion, then picked at the leftover food to make this impromptu bento.
Packed in with the lion are pieces of pan-fried salmon, cutie slices, a tomato with a washi tape flag, broccoli, and pear. There's a slice of turkey under the lion.
I brought it home and my little one, Mr. Destruction, kept telling me it's a bear. I tried to tell him it's a lion, but he insisted, and he probably thinks I need proper animal schooling.
To make the lion, I painted food coloring (1 drop red, 1 drop green, 3 drops yellow) on the scalloped oval. I didn't bring yellow cheese to the class, so the bear's face is painted yellow. I cut the snout out with a bubble tea straw and rounded the edges, then placed the nori details with a toothpick.
Something new I discovered during the class: cutting cutie slices flat like you see above. I used to do wedges, and these thin slices are WAY easier to arrange. I'm not sure why I never thought of cutting them this way before. Just goes to show you that you can still learn things even seven years later.
Yes, earlier this year was my seven-year bento blog anniversary. Yay!]]>
Some exciting news, which I've been waiting to post for weeks now: the sequel to Yum-Yum Bento Box: Fresh Recipes for Adorable Lunches is titled Yum-Yum Bento All Year Round: Box Lunches for Every Season. The book will be released in late December, just in time for people to start the new year.
Isn't the cover so cute? I've been wanting to do a holiday-themed sequel for years, and it's nice to finally see it happening! Maki and I busted our behinds working on this in December and January, and we're so happy with the outcome. We can't wait to share it with everyone!]]>
Now that I live on Oahu, where ramen shops are everywhere, I've got this informal quality ranking system for ramen that goes from Sumo/Ezogiku to Menchanko Tei/Tenkaippin all the way up to Kiwami/Agu Ramen (which is basically as high class as you can get with house-made noodles, eggs cooked with crack, and to-die-for broth). Kiwami closed down (again!) some months back
All the yum at all these places aside, ramen is costly, especially when you have a family of four and a half. Add in gyoza and you're talking 40 bucks easy for the lowest "tier" of ramen, more if you're dining in. Agu, which is gourmet ramen, costs a cool 18 bucks a bowl at minimum. Amazing on occasion, but way too much to make it a habit.
So when I don't want to be slumming it with my go-to breakfast ramen (the previously mentioned Sapporo Ichiban) for dinner, I make ramen at home. To do this, you need fresh ramen noodles, preferably from Sun Noodle, which is probably the noodle most ramen shops use anyway, since I've seen Sun Noodle boxes at some ramen shops. It comes with soup base, so you really could just eat the soup and noodles and it'll taste amazing, but you can also fancy it up.
I went to Nijiya, which is a Japanese market, and bought the ramen, a small bag of choy sum, a pack of gyoza, kamaboko, and a nice slab of chasu pork. The kamaboko kind of scared me because the expiration date was March 2017, and any fish product that can last nine months has got to be terrible for you, right? Turns out, it tasted terrible anyway, and it was like chewing crunchy rubber. Next time I'll stick to Amano, which is my favorite brand of kamaboko (and made in Hilo!).
Here's a closer look at the ramen. The shoyu one is really delicious (though pretty salty in general), and Sun Noodle also has miso flavor. They used to sell big packs of these at Costco, but when I tried to buy one yesterday, they didn't have it. A lot of times I'll freeze these, and when you do that, you just have to either defrost the noodles or run them under water before dropping them in the water.
The first thing I did was boil five eggs. Then I got the choy sum ready.
This is the choy sum, which I cut in half, then sliced the stalks in half length-wise. I just boiled it.
This is the chasu pork, which was SO GOOD. It was the first time I'd bought it at Nijiya, and it was totally worth it. I sliced it nice and thin while it was still cold and just set it to the side until I needed it.
Here's my crunchy rubber. Ugh. Definitely not good. Even my son didn't want to eat it, and he's a kamaboko fiend.
Next, I peeled the boiled eggs, then soaked them in a mixture of soy sauce and memmi. I used Kikkoman because I wanted flavor fast. I'd looked up a recipe for marinated eggs and after I saw the 4-hour marinating time I was like, yeah, no. This turned out fine. I just turned them every once in a while so they'd get an even soaking.
Next I cooked the gyoza. I love these because you cook them without oil, just water and steam! I make the gyoza sauce by adding a bit of vinegar to soy sauce.
At this point I'm almost ready to start making the noodles!
The boiled choy sum. Since my pot is now free again, I start a small pot of boiling water. I have to do one pot for each bowl of ramen, so unfortunately we don't get to eat together. I boil the water, add the noodles, then wait a minute or two. I empty the sauce packet into a ramen bowl, then pour hot liquid into the bowl to make the broth, then put the noodles in. I throw out the excess water and start a new pot for the next bowl.
By this time, the gyoza is about done. Mmm, nom nom!
In the end, once the ramen is done, I put three slices of chasu pork into the broth to warm up and soften, add some choy sum, a couple of kamaboko slices, and a shoyu egg sliced in half. Super yummy!
Ramen and gyoza for three and cold soba for one (for Buddy) came out to about $21, so definitely worth the effort to save myself 20$ dollars!]]>
Anyway, I tried it, but he'd added a slice of hot pepper, so it was quite spicy and scared away most takers he offered it to. He forgot to take it home, and me and Mikia started slowly picking away at it, getting used to the spiciness. After just a couple of days, we'd eaten it all. It was really yummy! Much better than the store-bought ones, which actually sit in my fridge for years before I pluck one occasionally for bento.
I asked him for the recipe and me and Mikia gave it a try.
The recipe called for Hawaiian salt, but I couldn't find mine, so I ended up using sea salt because I figured both come from the ocean, right?
I don't know if it's because I used a different salt or if the daikon I bought was getting old, but the slices became shriveled and wrinkled. It was super easy though. You basically just peel it, slice it, and dump all the ingredients in and refrigerate overnight. It's ready to eat the next morning. At first I thought I'd done something wrong because it calls for two cups of sugar and only half a cup of vinegar, so I basically had this goopy, sticky bowl of daikon. I texted my dad to make sure he'd gotten it right, and he had.
I guess the root leaks out a ton of water, and so as it soaked, it came out and made the liquid more like water. I looked in my Maui cookbook and one recipe said to add one drop of yellow food coloring. I added three, and as you can see that only netted me a pale yellow koko.
The main thing is, despite the shriveled state of my takuan, it tastes amazing, and I find myself eating piles of it whenever we eat anything teriyaki. (Or sometimes late at night for a snack.) My dad was telling the kids that in the old days the poor used to just eat koko and rice because that's all they could afford. While that's a little sad to hear, after eating it myself, I can see how it could do the job and keep you satisfied when there wasn't much else.
Once I figure out what caused the shriveling and tweak it a bit, I'll post a recipe. For now, consider this a yummy experiment in one of my rare homemade pickling attempts.]]>
That excuse is…
A new cookbook! Yup, that's right! Maki and I are teaming up again to do a sequel to Yum-Yum Bento Box, and right after Halloween was when we started working on the book. We were on a really rough timeline, and with work and the holidays, I just lost all my time to blog. The book will hopefully be released by the end of the year, and I'm super excited about this one, as Maki and I have tons of great new designs (and maybe some new ones you saw on here recently!) for it.
Hopefully we'll do a title reveal in the summer and after that, a cover reveal. I feel like I know a lot more about the things we can do ourselves to push the book's sales, so I'm quite excited to rev the marketing engine this time!
In other news, I'm going to be doing a bento demonstration and book signing at Hilo Hongwanji next month, so if you didn't get a chance to come to my signing back in 2010, please stop by to say hi!
The event will be at Sangha Hall on Saturday, May 14. I'll be doing two demos, one at 10 AM and another at 12 PM.
If I leave anything off, it'll be the ghosts and poisoned apples. I have to make the fondant today because cupcakes are on my must-do list since I bought these really cool spider web cupcake liners. I'm dying to use them!
Today's post features little mummies made out of Crescent dough.
Not exactly a new concept, but I put my own spin on it. I used Lil' Smokies for sausages and boiled them for just a minute or two to get them shaped a little rounder than when they come out of the package.
Start by cutting the dough into thin strips. You'll be pulling them tighter, so don't need to cut them super super thin and stress out.
Pulling the strips until they're thinner and longer, carefully wrap your smokies. Bake for 9-10 minutes, or until lightly browned. I took them out right at 9 minutes and they browned a little more after they came out.
Have some punched nori ready, along with a toothpick for applying. You'll also need a bit of butter, especially if you're using reduced fat dough. Just lightly brush the tops where the faces will go. (I just used my finger.)
Then you simply add faces using a variety of expressions!
Since mornings are hectic, you might want to consider doing the wrapping the night before. The kids can help. Then in the morning you simply pop them in the oven and add the faces and you're done in less than 15 minutes.]]>
I used an American Swiss cheese slice for the base, but obviously you can just use yellow, especially since you'll be using yellow for the eyes. I started by cutting out some cat heads from nori.
I made them uniform by folding the nori in half. That way I didn't have to worry about having two differently shaped kitties. I cut it freehand, but if you want a specific cat shape, just print something out, cut it out (you don't have to cut the shape out of the paper, just around it), and lay it over the nori while you cut the kitty out.
I also cut tiny little iris shapes for the center of the eyes.
Next, put the cats on the cheese slice and pat it down so it's nice and flat. Take a toothpick and cut around the kitty shape.
I know, the green in all these photos is different. Ugh. I was moving my cutting mat all over trying to find the best lighting.
After you have your kitty heads, cut four equal pieces of yellow cheese. You're going to squish them with your fingers and roll them into pointy "balls" that will become the eyes. Press them gently flat so that you end up with the eyes with pointy ends. Don't let your cheese get too warm!
After that, you simply place the eyes on, then add the irises. Roll tiny little balls for noses and add them on with a toothpick (Tip: use the end you used to cut the cheese so the moisture picks up the little pieces!) and you're done!
I'm still trying to decide what to try next. Maybe it's time for some zombies or mummies!]]>
The result isn't a bento, but it's a lunch all the same. I was in a bit of a hurry–my tummy was rumbling–so I just put them on a plate.
I took tutorial pictures, so I'll do that next week sometime. They turned out cute, though, don't you think? I used taro bread to give it a nice Halloweeny feel, cut the edges off, and made a grilled cheese sandwich. Hopefully when the baby is older and able to eat bigger kid foods, I can use him as a guinea pig for lunch.
Of course, he'll have to be trained. No eating until photographs are taken. Don't touch the nori scissors. Ask before eating scraps because you might be eating a vital piece of the character. And most of all, don't touch my camera.
Awful, I know, but he's my third, it's to be expected. Har har.
Anyway, he ate one sandwich all torn up, while I ate the rest with some Annie's Organic Tomato Soup, which I got as part of my Comfort Vox Box from Influenster.
While the soup was good, I was most pleased with the packaging. Obviously it's not a can, but the way the box top opened was very easy. You just pop the sides up, press down on the top two corners to make the box turn into a pouch of sort, then you tear the top off. After that, it's easy to pour out. It was a lot of soup, so I only ate half, and it was simple to just close it up and stick it in the fridge. I'm a lot more confident it won't spill than a can I've just plopped the top back onto.
I was happy enough with it that I'll probably try one of their other soups from Amazon. They're a bit higher priced than they would be if I bought them at Costco, but who knows, maybe I'll eventually see it there anyway.
Have a great weekend!]]>
In a previous Halloween year I tried using mozzarella balls, but they come rather hard and aren't truly round, so they don't make very good eyes in my opinion. Plus, they're huge, so they're not really good for using in bento. For charaben, I've always used straws to cut my eyes out, but they still have that flat cut-out look to them. Applying this method to smaller eyes for charaben will make them look better for sure.
I used American swiss cheese slices. Use a toothpick and cut them into evenly sized pieces. I left one a little bigger so you can see the difference. Starting with uniform pieces will be the key to having a matching set of eyes when you're doing charaben. Another thing you can do is cut them with a bubble tea straw like you normally would and then you'd have pieces of the same size without the hassle of eyeballing.
Here's a close-up of a rolled ball. You simply mash up the cheese (if you're doing this with kids, this is the perfect opportunity to teach about washing hands well) and then roll it into a ball. These are kind of on the big side because I made theme for the bloody eyeballs, but obviously you can make them any size you want, though if you go too small it may not ball up nicely.
Here you can see the finished balls, and you can see how the second from the left one is slightly bigger than the others. If you're using them for charaben, simply press them gently down so that you have a rounded, but slightly flat eye. Add nori to the middles!
All done! To add blood I simply dripped red food coloring on them with a toothpick. Happy Halloween!
Yep, still gross the next day.]]>

This tribute was created as a memorial to Matthew S. Quiggle, my brother and dearest friend. People were drawn to Matt. Everyone, who knew him, loved him. Matt was very attractive. Many of my friends couldn't help but have crushes on him. He could be very charming, when he wanted to be; however, he was never pretentious. Matt was very intelligent, extremely humorous, and always thoughtful. His interests included many different forms of music, repelling, and caving. Some of his favorite bands were R.E.M., The Church, Nirvana, Metallica, and Megadeath. Even as a small boy, Matt had a dangerous streak. He always seemed to be in the midst of some adventure or predicament---however one chooses to see it. LOL!!!! He was such an imaginative child. As an adult, he was a member of the 82nd Airborne in the US Army. When he told me that he would be going to jump school, I was anxious; but, I wasn't surprised. It was so like him. Matt was happiest, when he was with his closest friends, Mike, Harold, Tina, Tracy, Andrea, and Chris. His death changed the lives of so many people, including his friends. Like me, they will never be the same. I will always love my brother. I miss him so much. I miss his laughter, his sense of humor, the sound of his voice, and his very essence. I would give just about anything to have him back with me. When Matt died, part of me died, too. Living without him is a daily lesson in courage. Each day, I learn how to manage the pain of living without him, but I will never fully recover from losing him.
Matt joined the National Guard in 1987. This picture of Matt was taken by our dad the morning he left for Active Duty in 1990. Matt was last stationed at Ft. Bragg, N.C. He was honorably discharged on October 10, 1994. My brother had been property of the U.S Army for so many years. It was such a relief to have him home for good. Or so, we thought... Matt died a month after he was discharged from the US Army. Even though, the pain of Matt's death is at times more than I can manage, I am still proud that he was my brother for 25 years. I would never trade a moment I had with him. My memories of him are precious. Matt might be gone, but my love for him will never die. I will never stop missing him. NEVER!!! My brother, Matt, was the most remarkable person that I've ever known. He truly had no prejudices. He was so accepting of people unlike himself. Matt, also, had the ability to forgive people, who had treated him unkindly or unfairly. He had an incredible sense of empathy for all persons and living things. I will always remember Matt as the unjaded boy on the verge of becoming man, as this picture so clearly depicts. He was not just my brother, but my very best friend. I can never express through mere words how much I love and miss him.
Matt at 16 years
This is one of my favorite images of Matt. Our dad, an amateur photographer, took this picture. He really captured the "real" Matt in this one. Matt was about 16-years-old, when this picture was taken. Deep in thought---that was Matt. We take so much for granted. If I had known that someday I'd never see him again...
Matt--Happier than he had ever been.
Matt pictured with Andrea in Germany, 1994. Sometimes, I wonder what might have been if they had ended up together. He really cared about her. When he wasn't talking about her, he was usually talking TO her on the phone. Our phone bill was huge. LOL!!!
Matthew Paul Summer 2004
On November 13, 2002, Matt's eldest niece, Ashley, gave birth to her son, Matthew Paul, who was named for him. The picture on the left is of Matthew Paul taken in Battery Park during the summer of 2004. Because Matthew Paul was in a breech position, Ashley had a planned c-sectioned. Ashley had a choice of the dates on which Matthew Paul would be born. One of those was Nov. 11th. This was the date that I wanted Matthew Paul to be born. I wanted the anniversary of this date to become a happy day---a birthday rather than the annniversary of a death day. Ashley felt otherwise; and so, Matthew Paul was born on Nov 13th---all 8 lb 14oz of him!!!!
Matthew Nicolai Spring 2007
Matt was so well loved that he has another nephew, Matthew Nicolai, who was named for him as well. Matthew Nicolai was born July 25, 1995. I got to cut his umbilical cord. Matthew Nicolai was born during those dark days after Matt's death. Matthew Nicolai was truly a gift and a reason to keep going. He was the first little boy in our family to be named for Matt. He will certainly not be the last. I am positive that the name Matthew will be a name handed down for generations in our family.
1993 Jungle Warfare training, Panama
Beloved and much missed brother!!! Thank you, Joel, for sending this pic to be included in Matt's memorial.
Matt is buried in Rest Haven Memorial Park, Woolrich, PA
Always in my heart and on my mind...

Roberto Di Matteo has not included Jack Grealish in Aston Villa's matchday squad against Newcastle on Saturday evening.
The 21-year-old midfielder was embroiled in another off-the-field controversy in midweek, with the club investigating claims he was involved in an all-night party.
Di Matteo makes one change to his sides previous encounter, with Albert Adomah making his full competitive debut for the Midlands club in their Championship clash against the Magpies at Villa Park.
The Italian seemingly has opted for a 3-5-2 formation with Jonathan Kodjia, Jordan Ayew and Adomah the attacking options.
Striker Ross McCormack misses his second consecutive game, after going off injured at half-time against Brentford a fortnight ago.
Here is the club's official Twitter account announcing the starting XI to face Newcastle.
Team line-up: Here's the first XI + subs for today's game with @NUFC. UTV! #AVFC #AVLNEW pic.twitter.com/yUprtK78wC
— Aston Villa FC (@AVFCOfficial) September 24, 2016
Di Matteo's side have drawn five out of their last six Championship encounters, as they sit in 18th place in the league with eight points to their name.
In contrast, Rafa Benitez' Newcastle are in third place having notched up 15 points from their opening eight games.
Remarkably, this is the first time in any league in Europe that two former European cup winning managers are going to meet in the second-tier.
In other Aston Villa team news, Dion Dublin claims the club's star player is letting the fans down.

Nike Magista Obra SG-Pro Just Arrived
32 Comments
Are you gonna do a review on the new blue and orange tiempos when you get them because I am getting them when they come out
And also what shoe would you consider to have the best fit out of all cleats because I am torn between these cleats and the new colourway of the tiempo
How can you be torn between two completely different boots? You either want a leather boot (tiempo) or you dont. Josh doesnt have your feet, so before you spend £130 plus on some boots you are actually required to think for yourself.
Hey Josh, I have a quick question. How does this shoe fit compared to something like the F50's in the Messi edition? Do they run a bit smaller or larger?
Hey josh I wear f30's in size 8 & there's a whole thumb of space in the toe box so should I go to 7.5 in the magista ?
I noticed that in the pictures provided that the shoe looks more blue than the color of it in your video. Would you describe the color a more blue turquoise or a more greenish turquoise in person?
I am considering buying a pair of these and I have f50's in a size 13.5. My right foot is a little smaller than my right so a 13.5 feels a bit loose but my left feels fine, I have about a quarter inch of room in my right foot. So what size would you recommend I go?
Now i love my tiempo legend v but wanted to get something else. Which cleat is the most similar in comfort, fit, width to the legend v?
I wear size 9 in the older superfly ii the ones with carbon fiber sole plate. Should I buy these magistas in size U.S 9 or 9.5. I don't want to buy size 9 and then they fit to small. but I don't want to buy 9.5 if a 9 is gonna fit perfect.
Just asking here as well as to the reasoning behind you not recommending wearing the SG Pros on Filed Turf (potentially using plastic screw in studs). I understand you said you wouldn't do it but you didn't really explain why you wouldn't. Basically I want to know if its a problem of too much grip or too little (the reason I don't like the AG/Turf studs is because they don't grip as well as FG studs on turf). Or if your reasoning is just turf is not what SG pro boots are "designed for".
P.S. I normally wear a 10 in the Vapors and Total 90 but went down to a 9.5 for the hyper venom and the magistas, where as I cannot even fit my foot into a 9.5 vapors.
Joshua do you know any
way where i can get myself a pair of magista obra or superfly 4 hightop for kids ive looked everywhere and cant seem to find any do you know any website i really like shoes im like a size 4 or 5 in US THANK YOU
Hey Josh,
I was just wondering how long would the dynamic fit collar of the new Magista Obra would last?
Hi Josh, I have heard several different sizing suggestions for the magista obra. I currently wear a size 10.5 in the opus line, and they are roomy and comfortable. But I feel that if I get a size 10.5 in the obra, the flyknit upper won't fit tight and correctly. Any sizing suggestions?
Which Magista is better turquoise or the new shine through? Will SGpro work in dirt ssometimes here in Tennessee during the summer there is dirt. Also I wear size 10.5 in superflys and tthey are comfy what size should I get for the magistas??
Hi Josh! I have something I want you to help me with. I have never really liked the colorway of the magistas so i have been ignoring it for a while but the turquiose colorway made me fall in love with the magista. Now I want to buy a pair but I can't seem to find one in my size(8.5 us). Do you know of any online site that might have one my size? preferably a site that ship to the us. I wore the elastico superfly in size 8.5 and it is very snugged but there is a bit of space left in the toe box. Do you think i will fit into a size 9 obra?
Hey josh woupd you,recommend the Nike magista obra ?
Forgot to mention in my large paragraph, lol, that last week I found some Total 90 IV Mango. And they were size 10US and they were tight but I had a little bit of space in the toe box, like 2 or 3 milimeters, they were tight but comfy. In summary with my otger question, if the Total 90 fittes me well in that size, do you think 10.5 of the Magistas would be good? Again, sorry, really sorry, because maybe this questions bother you, but please, this is the last one, I promise. Just want to know if there is a difference in lwngth of the Magistas compared to the F50 or in general, if Magista run smaller in length. I have normal feet, not wide but not narrow. So thats why it concerns me more about length. Oh and if you ask, there are no Magista or similar boot where I live 🙁
Cheers Josh, really I ask you because I know you are a pro in this stuff and the best in youtube in soccer gear.
Hi josh i wear the adidas predators in a size 7 and they fit perfect was just wondering how the fit compares to the obra and if i should go a size up to a 7.5 in the obras

When are passwords saved?
When you enter your password on a website, Yandex.Browser offers to save it for you. For future visits to this site, your saved password will be entered for you automatically.
How can I turn off saving passwords?
If you do not want Yandex.Browser offer to save passwords:
- Click
- In the lower half of the Settings page, click Show advanced settings.
- In the Passwords and forms section, disable the Offer to saved website passwords option.
Websites for which passwords may or may not be saved
To view the list of websites for which you have allowed or not allowed passwords to be saved:
- Click
- In the lower half of the Settings page, click Show advanced settings.
- In the Passwords and forms section, click Manage passwords.
In the Passwords window in the Never saved section you'll see a list of sites that you did not allow to save your passwords. In the Saved passwords section, you'll see a list of sites where your passwords are saved in Yandex.Browser.
To delete a password from the list:
- Click in the line with the corresponding site address.
- Click Done.
If you forgot the password
If you forgot a password but it is saved in Yandex.Browser, you can view it in the settings:
- Click
- In the lower half of the Settings page, click Show advanced settings.
- In the Passwords and forms section, click Manage passwords.
- In the Saved passwords section, click the line with the desired website.
- In the box with the password, click Show.
Enter your account password in the window that appears and click OK.
The box will display the password from the website.
To make the password hidden again, click Hide in the box with the password.
Password phishing protection
Yandex.Browser applies additional password protection against:
- Phishing. Malicious users create websites that are very similar to real sites. The user thinks that it is a familiar website and enters their password. The hacker then gets the user's password and can use it to steal personal data or money.
Identical passwords. This is a serious threat to security. By getting the password to one account, an attacker can gain access to all the other accounts.
For example, if you use the same password for your online bank and for an online store, employees of the online store can get access to your personal bank account without you knowing it.
It is particularly dangerous to use the same password for HTTPS and HTTP websites. Because passwords for HTTP websites are not encrypted, they can be intercepted by hackers who can use these passwords on an HTTPS website to steal personal data or money.
- How this protection works
Once you enter a password on an important website, Yandex.Browser uses it to create a fingerprint (hash) and saves it in its database. When you enter passwords on other websites, the browser compares their hashes with the ones in its database. If there is match, the icon will appear on the right side of SmartBox to warn you. The browser will ask you to confirm that you want to use the same password on several websites before sending your password to the server.
- Adding a website to secured sites
Yandex.Browser protects passwords to popular websites such as VK or Mail.ru. The browser makes a list of important websites, but you can add other ones as well (such as websites where you make online payments).
To enable protection:
- In the right part of SmartBox, click any Protect toolbar icon.
- Click the More info link in the section where connection status displays in the window that appears.
- In the Permissions section, enable the Protect passwords option.
- Disable protection
Attention. This is not recommended, as it will be easier for hackers to access your personal information.
- In the right part of SmartBox, click any Protect toolbar icon.
- In the Security settings section, disable the Display a warning about entering important passwords on unfamiliar sites option.
- Click
- In the lower half of the Settings page, click Show advanced settings.
- In the Passwords and forms section, disable the Enable phishing protection option.
- You can also delete all password hashes. To do this click Clear data.
Password hashing in Yandex.Browser
Passwords for important sites are saved by Yandex.Browser as hashes. Because passwords are not stored as plain text, hackers will not be able to get access to your personal information even if they steal the password database.
Cryptographic hashing helps transform a password into a unique character sequence that can be easily used for password identification, but it is practically impossible to restore an original password using it. For example, the string "hello" after hashing can be transformed into the sequence "2cf24dba5fb0a30e26e83b2ac5b9e29e1b161e5c1fa7425e73043362938b9824".
Yandex.Browser uses the SCrypt algorithm for hashing. This algorithm generates a hash using not only the central processor, but also multiple read/write operations in the memory. This approach makes it difficult to crack passwords. For example, a hacker will not be able to speed up a brute force hacking attempt using a video card processor. The SCrypt algorithm is used, for example, in LiteCoin crypto currency.
As a result, it will take a malicious user more than 100 years to match a six-digit password, including uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters.

In the Media
CHPC's expertise has been valued for over 70 years and our non-partisan analysis and opinion features widely in the media. You can read all of our latest press mentions here.
NYC may fit more 'micro' apartments into housing picture
Speaking on the feasibility of micro units, deputy director of Citizens Housing & Planning Council Sarah Watson said, "people are spending $1,800 per month renting a room that's 10-by-10 and living with strangers that they meet on Craigslist."
Roberts joins CPC's board of directors
Congratulations to our Board Chairman Richard Roberts who have been appointed to the Board of the Community Preservation Corporation!
City's Empty Spaces: What is the Housing Potential?
Jerilyn Perine, a former HPD commissioner, tells City Limits in an email that a litany of challenges can make what looks like an obvious housing site into a costly if not impractical location. For a piece of land to work for housing, she says, "it has to not have very strange site conditions. The Bronx for example is famous for rock outcroppings and extreme contours that can make building infeasible."
Perine, now the executive director of the Citizens Housing and Planning Council, continued: "The zoning has to be right, and you can't just spot-zone for a small parcel out of context. The location has to work for housing (avoiding proximity to highways, noise problems, industrial adjacencies etc). Ownership has to be correct and undisputed: Just because something is on a list as city owned doesn't mean there isn't a title dispute that is ongoing or some other litigation. Everything has to be checked carefully."
City Views: Critics of Zoning Changes Ought to Give De Blasio More Credit
Since Mayor Koch, New York City mayors bold enough to commit to a housing plan each have been subject to the criticism that their plan didn't create or renovate enough housing, didn't do it fast enough, didn't reach the right populations (not enough for our poorest residents, not enough for the middle class), and that it negatively affected our existing neighborhoods with inappropriate scale, different building typologies, and unwelcome changes to the demographic makeup of the community. Read the entire article by our Executive Director Jerilyn Perine.
Do families making $173K a year need affordable housing?
New affordable buildings are offering subsidized units for families of four making up to $172k with critics stating that this does not qualify as 'meaningful affordability'. Executive Director of Citizens Housing and Planning Council, Jerilyn Perine stated "I wouldn't say that on the face of it that is necessarily a bad idea, the need at every income band is so great."
Cuomo's Plan for Financing Affordable Housing Worries City Officials
Executive Director of CHPC Jerilyn Perine responding to the Governor's remark for more state control over the financing of affordable housing, says that the organizations' report, Pump up the Volume calls for more conversation and information be made public on housing agency websites.
Talks to Save NYC Developers' Tax Exemption Aren't Going Anywhere
Commenting on the soon to be expiring 421-a tax exemption program, Executive Director of Citizens Housing and Planning Council Jerilyn Perine noted, "an end to the 421-a program would make affordable housing very expensive to build. If you want to continue the current production level the gap is going to have to be closed in some other way."
Death of Tax-Break Program Could Hamper Mayor de Blasio's Housing Push
The 421-a program is set to expire on Friday, unless construction unions and real estate developers agree on the future wages to be paid on projects receiving the subsidy. In an interview, Citizens Housing and Planning Council Executive Director Jerilyn Perine noted "Without 421-a it'll cost the government more money to provide the affordable units the're promising. The two sides need to step back from the cliff and start focusing on how to solve the problems facing us."
NYC micro apartments: An inside look at the Kips Bay complex that opens in March
With the first modular residential building set to open in March, New Yorkers will change how they view living in a small space. Deputy director of CHPC, Sarah Watson noted that many singles are already living in small spaces with multiple roommates, as their options are very few. She went on to add that this is just a "teeny contribution" to fighting the housing crisis.
Micro Apartments: Utopia or Dystopia?
According to research from the Citizens Housing Planning Council—the nonprofit whose research informed Bloomberg's AdAPT competition—there are 1.8 million one- and two-person households in New York City and just 1 million studios and one-bedroom apartments. Carmel Place's 55 units are just a drop in the bucket, but pose a solution for denser living in a city where buildable land is at a premium.
Affordable Housing Appraised: A Review
This wealth of diverse material, rounded out by interactive features like the Center for Urban Pedagogy's digital "What is Affordable Housing" toolkit and the Citizens Housing and Planning Council's "Inside the Rent" app, manage to convey not only why government is involved in affordable housing (because the private sector alone can't, or won't, provide it), but who that housing is for (a wide spectrum of individuals who otherwise wouldn't have a place to live).
Mayor de Blasio Seeks to Rebuild Momentum for Affordable Housing Plan
Jerilyn Perine, executive director of the Citizens Housing and Planning Council, noted that unlike universal prekindergarten, a linchpin accomplishment of the mayor's first year, the housing plan cannot be boiled down to a single snappy message.
"I could sell you pre-K in one sentence: We'll give pre-K to every child in the city," said Ms. Perine, a former city housing commissioner. Housing "is a complex issue," she said. "It has lots of moving parts."

Prostate cancer happens when cells in the prostate gland grow abnormally and out of control. (The prostate is a small organ below a man's bladder that makes fluid for semen.) The cancer cells can grow and spread to other parts of the body.
Prostate cancer is usually slow-growing, and it can often be cured.

PFF scouting report: Dean Lowry, DE, Northwestern
Below is the PFF draft profile for Northwestern's Dean Lowry, which incorporates PFF's college grades and scouting intel from our team of analysts. To see all of PFF's 2016 scouting reports, click here.
Position fit:
3-4 Defensive end
Stat to know:
Performance against Wisconsin was the fifth-highest of any interior player against a Power-5 school all year
Combine stats:
Height: 6-6
Weight: 296
Arm length: 31 inches
Hand size: 9 ⅜ inches
Bench: 30
40-yard dash: 4.87 seconds
Vertical jump: 32.5 inches
Broad jump: 9-6 inches
3-cone drill: 7.26 seconds
20-yard shuttle: 4.38 seconds
What he does best:
— Explosive athlete for his size. Has the quickness to track down run plays from the backside
— Can sink his hips and play with power. Tight ends have little chance of blocking him in the run game. Third-highest pass rushing productivity on the bull rush in FBS
— Offers positional diversity. Lined up all over Northwestern's defensive front. 55 percent of his snaps came outside the tackle and 45 percent came inside the tackles
Biggest concern:
— Pass rushing toolbox outside of the bull rush is non existent at this point. Collected more pressures via the bull rush than inside and outside moves combined
— Short area quickness is nothing special. Gets stoned a lot when trying to slant or cross an offensive lineman's face
— Stiff turning the corner. Never going to be a true every-down edge guy
Player comparison:
Mike DeVito, (formerly) Kansas City Chiefs. Lowry has a few inches on DeVito, but the play style is still strikingly similar. Both are at their best against the run attacking straight through offensive tackles and guards.
Bottom line:
Lowry is an elite athlete, but little more at this point. His odd build (very short arms for his height) and lack of pass rushing moves make him a mid-rounder.

Employees would have no direction in their jobs without managers to coordinate and assign tasks. Managers possess the knowledge to explain the objectives for projects and the importance of completing them on time. At the same time, managers must communicate well with higher-level managers about performance and results. Expect certain qualities in managers to help all employees perform at their best.
Managers should be fair to all of their employees. They should not only treat everyone fairly, but also avoid playing favorites. Fairness includes assigning similar tasks and projects to employees on the same grade level, and evaluating them on the same standards. Employees who are treated fairly are more likely to enjoy their jobs and want to work for their bosses.
All managers are expected to be competent on the job. They are hired because of specific skills and accomplishments that are closely related to the specifications of their jobs. They must have the ability to perform their own jobs effectively before expecting employees to do the same. Competent managers gain the respect of both their managers and their employees. In addition, employees working for competent managers benefit from strong leadership and consequently may perform at higher levels.
Good Communicator
Communication is essential in business but especially among company managers. Communication includes speaking, listening and writing skills. Managers must communicate instructions so their employees understand them. At the same time, they must be able to communicate results well to upper management. Managers must be adept at writing emails, proposals and reports that are explicit and informative.
Leads by Example
Managers are usually required to lead by example. When a new client has a large project requiring overtime, you expect managers to work at least the same amount of hours as their employees. Managers lead by example when training employees. For example, a manager may demonstrate how to greet customers who shop at the furniture store. Employees must observe how they interact with customers and follow their lead. Managers who lead by example can better ensure that employees meet company standards on quality, service, hospitality and other operations. Those who don't lead by example can hurt employee morale, according to Mind Tools.

In the context of console gaming, I'm not fanboy. No one console company has a monopoly on my gaming interests. No chance in hell am I going to be a one console person. I go where the games I want to play are.
And right now that means the Xbox 360 and the Nintendo Wii, I'm not giving up one console just because I'm playing another one. I'm just enjoying myself in all the great games I can play, and one day.. with my son.
That said... bias wise I'll always lean towards... Nintendo for giving me the best gaming experience since.... hmmmm... a long long long time ago.
Mmmm... motion controled simplified boxing. Very nice!!
But I'm not in that some minority! :P
7 days ago I was rudely awakened by my wife telling me her stomach was hurting, and she felt like shitting, and my son was born soon after.
Better put some more pictures up now as any good father would do!
It's just so hard to get a good picture..
Stop squirming...
There.. this will do I guess! ;)
And of course.. the coup de grace..
So.. you've got this cool Pocket PC .Net CF 2.0 application, which reads off a SQL Server Compact Edition database, everything works fine when you're in debugging mode, then as you're testing the app you get the dreaded OutOfMemory exception thrown when you try to open a connection to the database.
You go to the memory app under settings and notice that the Pocket PC only has 1MB of program memory left, obviously it can't load the SQLCE runtime AND do your queries at the same time. You hit the running programs tab and select close all, but you don't expect a user to do that. There must be a better way to do this!
The OS is supposed to close applications in low memory situations, but exactly how low is LOW? Gleamed from the Pocket PC SDK we find this little tidbit:-
The Shell in a Windows Mobile-based Smartphone sends WM_CLOSE messages if there is less than 128 KB of free memory. The shell does not send WM_CLOSE messages if you ask for more memory than is available. For example, the Smartphone does not allocate 200 KB of memory if it only has 190 KB free. Instead, the shell displays an Out Of Memory dialog box to the user.
The Shell in a Windows Mobile-based Smartphone sends WM_CLOSE messages if there is less than 128 KB of free memory. The shell does not send WM_CLOSE messages if you ask for more memory than is available. For example, the Smartphone does not allocate 200 KB of memory if it only has 190 KB free. Instead, the shell displays an Out Of Memory dialog box to the user.
Wow.. 128KB is what the OS considers to be low... so what can we do about it? Well we call the function which the snippet above was taken from, SHCloseApps. What this API function does is that you pass the amount of memory you want and the OS will keep sending WM_CLOSE messages to applications until the memory requested is achieved. To use the function in your PPC program first you need to declare the P/Invoke in your class (For C# examples.. well start reading the documentation on how to do P/Invokes!)
Public Declare Function SHCloseApps Lib "aygshell" (ByVal MemorySought As Int32) As Boolean
Then when you need to, just call the function with the number of bytes of memory you need.
Simple and gets the job done, before I did this my app kept getting OutOfMemory exceptions (no thanks to the RSSReader, GPS Map program AND Pocket IE) during execution. Now it just works... like it should.
PS. Here's another tip, you might want to use this function if you ever want the user to take a picture with the device's builtin camera, cause they usually need about 1~2MB to take a 1MP picture, so be sure to free up some memory BEFORE you show the picture selector dialog box.
Turn off the bloddy rate limiting switch on RDP sessions already so my colleagues can go RDP into the servers and not have to come ask me to manually tweak the coonnections already!
I already have my hands full taking care of my wife and baby already you know!
I treat my gear very carefully, I gently slide my notebooks in and out of the bag, I only torture my touch screen s after I put a screen protector on them. I die a little inside when anything bad happens to my gear, like when my M200 dropped cause of a faulty bag strap,or where my phone dropped to the ground cause I missed the holster.
So, imagine my surprise that this kind of gentle attituide doesn't apply when taking care of babies. When I try to bundle him up and he fights back I'm too scared to apply too much force cause I'm afraid I might dislocate his arm or something, worse when trying to change a diaper and he's just kicking wildly while I'm trying to clean his butt.
Whereas my wife who has taken care of a lot of her nieces and nephews just pushes the little guy's arms down, or just yanks the legs straight and proper when doing a diaper change. She asks me why do I find it so hard to force a baby's down, I ask her isn't she afraid of breaking anything cause I'm just trying to be careful here. She just tells me to just give them the push and the baby should get the idea already.
Ok then... we'll see what happens after a few more tries.
We had to wait till the baby pissed till the doctor would discharge him. guess it's to make sure all the plumbing works.
But he has, and now we're waiting for them to finish processing the bill so i can take my son back!
Yes.. mother and son is obvisouly ok if not I wouldn't be here posting right?
definetly looks more like his mother now. And after finalizing with mom. Chan Wen Zhern it is!
Before they wheel him off to do all the necessary checkups.
I should have taken it 2 mins later, cause his eyes were open and he was fidgeting around then. No I haven't seen him properly to see wheter he looks like the mother or father.
At 9AM this morning my son Chan Wen Zhern(Zhen, need to decide) was born. w00t
oh joy
The window of opportunity for an epidural has closed, she's pretty pissed at that.
it's go time, baby,s coming!
32275 Gamerscore possible,8904 Gamerscore obtained,353 Achievements unlocked,63 Games played,1 Year Of Xbox Live.
Today my XBox 360 turns one, one year of XBox Live fun, one year of next generation fun!
Wonder how the next year will be?
If you're going to provide a recovery DVD because of some licensing issue that doesn't allow you to provide the actual OS installation DVDs. Can you please make sure that they can boot on an external USB DVD Drive? Especially for laptops which DO NOT have a DVD drive to begin with? Cause I sure as hell ain't going to buy your overpriced drive accesory just to restore my OS!
Following an earth quake a few weeks ago, the international lines were cut, even the redundant ones. Net performance has just been terrible terrible after that.
I can't connect my IM apps, and even if I DO connect, messages might not get through.
TMNut seems to be working on something with the LOCAL lines, and thus I can't even RDP into my office servers at the LOCAL data center to get my work done.
Having a shoddy connection is seriously hampering my Xbox 360 experience, I have trouble connecting to the Live network, and even if I can it's damn right impossible to play with anyone outside of Malaysia.
Luckily the server hosting this blog doesn't seem to be affected by the line outages, so as long as Maxis doesn't screw up you can be sure to get Live updates on my child's birth! ;)
To add to my ever growing list of reasons why I should never EVER accept a project to make a Windows application meant for mass distribution instead of being used internally by the client company.
So... the program has finally made it to the UAT stage, and we're sitting together in the testing room and members of the test team are installing the program. Then one person says "It's telling me to install Microsoft .Net Framework 2.0" so I tell him to use the one which I had downloaded earlier.
Then he says "It's telling me I need to install Windows Installer 3.0". I looked at the screen, sure enough one of the prerequisites of the .Net Framework 2.0 is the Windows Installer 3.0 runtime. But the installer was kind enough to provide a link to the download. It's a small download, only about 2MB which is nothing compared to the .Net Framework.
Then he says "Aiyo... it needs geniue validation lar." I looked at the Microsoft Geniue Validation button that was showing on his screen, then I asked him what the problem is. "That means a lot of people will be unable to use the program. Can we work around this arr?"
I tried hard not to scream about condoning piracy, I shrugged, grinned a bit and kept repeating to myself.
This is the last time... This is the last time...This is the last time...
Ugh... this is the tough part, as if waiting anxiously through your wife's pregnancy isn't enough. Now I'm worry about when she'll go into labour. Will it be at night while we're sleeping? Will it be in the morning when I'm off site in Klang? How many false alarms before she actually goes into labour?
Usually I pack my notebook stuff for work in the morning, now I pack it BEFORE I got to sleep in case I need to rush over to the hospital at night! :P
OK, it's 2007 so here I go with the resolutions for this year.
Now for the resolutions that I know I can meet

The Tea Party Express has apparently sold out, with chaircritter Amy Kremer announcing that they would support whoever the GOP presidential nominee is, even it it was Mitt "Romneycare" Romney, because they want to beat Obama so bad.
How stupid is it when you want to replace Obama v1 with Obama v0.9?
Now there's your real pollution, Sheila, too blasted many people per million are professional busybodies and dogooders who believe everything tastes better if they piddle in it! -- L. Neil Smith

Sell out
Posted by The Freeholder at 8:48 AM
1 comment:
I'd say it is significantly less stupid than guaranteeing Obama v1 for 4 more. If the Tea Party fav can't beat Romney, etal in the Repub primary - there's no way in "h-e-double hockey sticks" they will beat the Repub nominee AND Obama in the general. Its not selling out. It is a realization of whom the more vicious enemy is.

Kabul, Oct. 11: India's biggest contribution to the elections in Afghanistan ' finger markers that were meant to distinguish those who voted in the October 9 poll from those who did not ' is changing the discourse in this embattled nation from a debate on security to a debate over ink.
The UN-Afghan Joint Electoral Management Body today decided to set up a commission with three independent members recommended by the world body. The panel will investigate the charges that the hustings had run aground because the indelible ink was tampered with.
The UN has nominated Craig Jenness, a former Canadian diplomat, and Staffan Darnolf, a Swedish poll specialist, who have experience in 'post-conflict' elections to study charges that the polls were unfair. The third member of the panel will be named shortly.
A successful election in Afghanistan would be billed a victory in the US global war on terrorism that began with Operation Enduring Freedom on an early October day like this three years ago. But 14 of 16 candidates in the fray threatened to oppose the election with complaints on the indelible ink that even Zalmay Khalilzad, the US diplomat who is said to be a sort of pro-consul, admits were 'widespread'.
The indelible ink marker pens ' some 50,000 were supplied for the elections ' are from Mysore Paints and Varnish Ltd.
The investigation will look into several aspects of the issue, including whether the ink was faulty or whether it was incorrectly used because of lack of training to election staff. The company said today that Afghan officials could have mixed up pens meant for marking ballots and fingers.
But even as the investigation is just being ordered, authorities are working extra hard to play down the ramifications of the charges.
'Look at it this way,' Khalilzad said this evening, 'these are things that could happen even in mature democracies.' Sure enough, neither Madhepura in Bihar nor Florida in the US is immune to charges of poll malpractices.
Khalilzad said he had met former Afghan education minister and one of President Hamid Karzai's more prominent challengers, Yunus Qanooni, this afternoon. Qanooni, among those who had refused to accept the election after the row over ink, said tonight that he was withdrawing the boycott call.
Khalilzad said he had reason to believe that Uzbek warlord Rashid Dostum, expected in Kabul tomorrow, will also come around.
'I have met other (candidates) earlier as well. I expect the call for making the polls null and void will be removed,' Khalilzad said.
At the Joint Electoral Management Body, director David Avery said it would still not be possible to announce exactly when the counting of ballots will begin. But it would be taken up after the report of the international panel is reviewed.
An exit poll by a US think tank has said Karzai would win well over the 50 per cent needed to avoid a run-off.

TriathlonOz.com, Australia's First Truly Independent Triathlon Website - Now Offering Sponsorships for Events, Clubs and Individual Athletes
Australia's most comprehensive triathlon website, TriathlonOz.com is gaining a significant following among Australia's Triathlon community who have identified the website as the newest and best place for all things multi sport.
The fully independent, non-affiliated and 100% Australian-owned and operated website - which has been in operation for 3 months – was created for runners, cyclists, swimmers, triathletes and multisport athletes to facilitate the sharing of information via a unique network which brings likeminded athletes of all ages and abilities together.
It's also a place whereby users can access useful articles full of tips and techniques and to find out what events are going on around the whole country. The site is free to browse and is complete with useful tools and features such as an Australia-wide Events Calendar, pace calculator, classifieds and blogs written by members of the site.
"If you're a training fanatic, chances are you've got tons of questions and a very limited group of people to go to for advice," says Michelle Martin, co-owner of TriathlonOz. "Like us, you may have already tried out a few different websites and forums and found limitations as most are either from the USA, or only represent one state of Australia."
Recent additions to the site include the publishing of an Australia wide club list on the site - with info from Triathlon Australia – where clubs can log in and edit info or add new info by following the link http://www.triathlonoz.com/Clubs/Default.aspx. Also, the events calendar now has a handy new feature whereby you can to click on the date icon of an event to import details directly into your Outlook calendar.
With a range of smart interactive tools giving registered site users the ability to publish their own content and exchange training tips, routes, stories, ideas, and opinions, TriathlonOz has the potential to be the most influential and prominent knowledgebase network of sporting enthusiasts in the Australian triathlon/multisport industry.
One new member, M.James of Greenwood says the new website was just what she was looking for:
"What attracted me to TriathlonOz was the fact that in one site I could find everything I needed to know about upcoming events and the latest news, as well as share ideas and get tips from other athletes of similar ability via the forum and blogs. The fact that the site is non-affiliated with any club or governing body means I know the information I'm getting is unbiased and comprehensive. I'm pretty fanatical about triathlon and have been to virtually every Australian website relating to it, but TriathlonOz.com is the only one I ever go to now - it has everything I need."
TriathlonOz Sponsorships
As part of TriathlonOz' commitment to the ongoing support and development of the triathlon industry, it is now offering sponsorships of events, clubs and individual athletes across Australia.
"As part of our commitment to our members, the clubs which they represent and the triathlon movement as a whole, we are happy to announce that we are currently reviewing requests for sponsorship and encourage clubs, event organisers and even individual athletes to apply," Mrs Martin said.
Applications for sponsorship can be submitted to [email protected] or by calling 08 9403 3737.
Contact Profile
TriathlonOz is owned and published by Perth-based I.T. Beyond Pty Ltd - a well established company with over 25 years experience in the I.T. industry. Although TriathlonOz has only recently been launched, I.T. Beyond has expertise in building and maintaining successful websites after the creation of ExplorOz.com in 2000 as a wholly-online business entity and community sharing concept website for 4WD & RV enthusiasts.
With a unique offering to a niche market, ExplorOz.com quickly became Australia's most influential website in the self-drive tourism market and is the company's main business focus. ExplorOz now operates as a wholly owned subsidiary of I.T. Beyond.
The desire for I.T. Beyond to create TriathlonOz in 2011 evolved from the passion of the company's owners, David and Michelle Martin, who are active triathletes and multisport competitors. David Martin has qualified to race in this year's 2011 World Ironman 70.3 Triathlon to be held in Las Vegas in September, and recently achieved 2nd place in the UCI World Cycling Tour (UWCT) Time Trial - a qualifying event for the World Championships.
Features of the Website
When designing the website, market research found that the triathlon community was desperately in need of a single independent website that could not only provide information on upcoming events and articles on training methods, but also a place whereby athletes could share information with each other, buy products online and create personalised profile pages.
With this in mind the team at TriathlonOz included the following features in the new site:
- An Australia-wide event calendar that is fully interactive and already features over 350 triathlons or multisport events for 2011. The site also features a way for clubs to enter any upcoming events into the system;
- An Australia-wide club listing – featuring all clubs listed with Triathlon Australia;
- A comprehensive online shop with products ranging from sports nutrition, training references, guide books, and DVDs, to the best quality brands of outdoor equipment for Adventure Race and multisport enthusiasts.
- A Classifieds section whereby athletes can sell unwanted equipment – free text ads are available, or display ads can be purchased.
- Full site access is available, including registration to interact, totally free.
- For a more enhanced service, people can opt to upgrade their registration to Member status for a fee of $50 (12 month membership). This provides tools for publishing blogs & training routes, and entitles 5% discount on all orders in the shop, plus free postage for orders over $125.

Arthur are you outing? A lapsed photographer, you need to get your mojo back man. Buy something new, go mirrorless maybe
Just fired up my photo cat system (Lightroom of course) it shows I haven't taken a photo since may 8th, dam thats poor even for me.
How many of you take a nearly month break in taking photos?
I Just Have Cameras and Stuff
http://arthurhh.500px.com/ http://photos.tokoroa.info/ mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com don't have an Artistic Eye - I have a Technical Bent & a love of GadgetsGive an Artist a box of different sized colour blocks and he will create an art work; give me the same box and I will sort it by colour and then size :)
Arthur are you outing? A lapsed photographer, you need to get your mojo back man. Buy something new, go mirrorless maybe
Hey Jos! How's things?
Arthur - I think as hobbyists we probably have times when life takes over and we don't have time to pick up the camera or either lack of ideas or just a slump. I'm feeling that a little bit at the moment - I'd like to try something new - perhaps setting up a simple garage studio with one or two strobes and a Flashbender or something. Nothing expensive. One can only do so many sunsets Perhaps given the amount of hotels I stay in, perhaps this could be fun...
Jos yeah , i'm looking at purchasing a mirrorless for our next travels. I don't want to be carting the photography backpack full of paraphernalia next time . I miss your photoshop sessions and did one of those photoshop little worlds for a photography challenge . Just like you showed us how to do it and i don't even have to look at the instructions anymore
Hi Lia! Coromandel looked amazing today as we went past coming back from Samoa!
I bought a Fuji X-E2 last year to carry around with me - mainly for size and weight. Great camera and was easy to travel with. You won't regret it!
Hi Derwood , glad Coromandel looked amazing from up there because it has been a tad miserable and cold on ground level today. Thanks for the input I've been checking out the mirrorless and the Fuji and Sony have a good reputation .
I tend to have a break in summer!
Nikon D750, D7100 and stuff
Funnily enough, I've kind of been in the same boat ever since getting the 7DII...hardly had the lens cap off...
While the ridiculously long hours and shift patterns I work does have a bit to do with it, the shoulder injury and subsequent cortisone injection have also held me back and, teaching the wife to drive and getting and fitting her new 17 inch wheels and the subsequent new rims for my car (only right, seeing she has new wheels) have also gotten in the way...i'm finding i'm not out there so much these days...
What's going on?
BTW Lia,
My parents in law are very happy with their Olympus OM-D E-10 and twin lens kit (14-42mm & 40-150mm), seems to work well for them...

Today's Lady News: Polanski's Lawyer Says He's Been Punished Enough For Drugging, Raping Teen
- Roman Polanski's attorney said he has already been punished enough by serving 42 days in prison back in 1978. You know, after he gave drugs to and raped a 13-year-old girl? Forty-two days! Polanski is currently in jail in Switzerland and may be in prison for up to two years if he's sent back to the U.S. for a trial. [L.A. Times]
- Lady buffaloes in California are being put on birth control because they're screwing like bunnies. Sorry, folks, I just thought slutty buffaloes would make you giggle on a Friday afternoon. [L.A. Times]
- Today is the 11th annual Transgender Day Of Remembrance, a day to think about the men and women who've been murdered because of their sexuality. [Feministing]
- Canada's federal court ordered the country's refugee board to consider the case of Bethany Smith, a lesbian who fled the U.S. military because she is LGBT. Smith said the "don't ask, don't tell" policy was allegedly ignored when her cohorts discovered her sexuality and she was allegedly denied a discharge because she was needed in Afghanistan. Smith then deserted the Army and fled to Canada as a refugee. [Fox News]
- Three key committees in New York City's City Council met yesterday to discuss sexual harassment on the subways. Rush hours, from 8 to 10 a.m. and 4 to 6 p.m., are the most common time women are harassed and the average age of men arrested for sexual offenses on the subway is 39. Of the 412 arrests so far this year, less than one-fifth (71) had committed prior sexual offenses and a small but significant minority (14) were registered sex offenders. [New York Times]
- Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi criticized the language regarding abortion in the Stupak-Pitts Amendment in the House's version of the health care reform bill. The Senate's version of the bill is expected to be debated after Thanksgiving. One would think, though, if Pelosi really objected to the language, she never would have gotten the House to pass it? [L.A. Times]
- Black teenage girls in post-apartheid Capetown, South Africa, say they feel like "Cinderella" at graduation-time school dances. What's especially sad about this is that young women don't go out in public so much due to South Africa's horrendously high incidence of rape. [Times of London]
- Mehmet Goren, who is accused of murdering/disposing of the body of his 15-year-old daughter Tulay in an "honor killing" in 1999, told a court he believes his daughter is still alive somewhere. He thinks Tulay possibly ran away because she was pregnant. Prosecutors believe Tulay might have been murdered by her dad because he was allegedly upset her boyfriend belonged to a different branch of Islam. [BBC]
- Brian Thomas, 59, has been cleared of all charges of strangling his wife, Christine, to death during a violent nightmare called automatism. The judge told Thomas he was a "decent man and devoted husband." [Times of London]

Halo, Purely for Pets Becomes Founding Sponsor of Animal Crowdfunding Site LoveAnimals.org
Denver, CO (August 26, 2014) – LoveAnimals.org, an innovative nonprofit crowdfunding site focused solely on supporting animal projects, today announced that Halo, Purely for Pets, has become the site's founding sponsor.
Crowdfunding has changed the way people support the causes and projects they care about. Now, it's easy to donate to non-profit efforts, help launch commercial inventions, back artists and more.
LoveAnimals.org has leveraged this new technology to create the largest global crowdfunding platform just for animal projects. Groups or individuals can easily create a fundraising project for a 501c3 organization that helps animals, both domestic pets and wildlife. And, people looking for worthy projects to back can search for an effort that strikes a chord with them. Donations range from $2 to thousands of dollars.
Remember Schoep, the dog whose owner would float him to sleep in Lake Superior? Or Daniel, the polydactyl cat, raising money to save his animal shelter? What about the blind man who couldn't afford to keep the service dog who saved him from falling onto the subway tracks? These stories tugged at the public's heartstrings yet many people didn't know what they could do to help. Now, LoveAnimals.org provides a way for people to support causes they care about with small or large donations.
Many groups have already seen success on LoveAnimals.org. A feline rescue has raised $4,500 to enable them to care for 75 kittens. A service dog organization has raised $16,000 to rehab a service dog injured in a car accident. A humane society has raised $600 for a family who can't afford to treat their dog's fast-growing tumor. These are just a few examples of the important projects that generous people across the nation are making a reality through LoveAnimals.org.
David Yaskulka, Halo's VP of marketing communications says, "We recognized the potential for LoveAnimals.org to be a game changer for animals because of its focus, innovative technology and the team's passion for the work they do. We're proud to support an effort that has such wide scale impact for animals and the people who care about them."
Halo's sponsorship will help LoveAnimals.org promote the platform to a wider audience of both nonprofits and donors. In addition, it will enable LoveAnimals.org to provide support to the organizations using the technology to help animals.
"We are thrilled to partner with Halo," said LoveAnimals.org founder & CEO, Sarah Timms. "Halo is known for its unrelenting support of animals in need and we know that, together, we can connect with the organizations that need funding and the people who are looking for purposeful projects to support."
Halo has a history of philanthropic efforts on behalf of animals. Through its partnership with Freekibble.com and Greatergood.org, Halo donates more than 1.5 million meals of Halo Spot's Stew to shelter pets each year. Halo also sponsors the PBS series, "Shelter Me," and donates more than five times the national corporate average through the Halo Pet Foundation, which sponsors national adoption campaigns with the Humane Society of the United States, ASPCA and more.
Betsy Saul, LoveAnimals.org Board member and founder of Petfinder.com, believes this partnership will have great impact on the organization's success. "LoveAnimals.org is truly poised to become a major force in animal welfare. Halo has a reputation for sponsoring important causes in meaningful ways, so it's exciting to see these two compassionate organizations come together to help animals."
Launched in early 2013, LoveAnimals.org is the only nonprofit crowdfunding platform dedicated to helping all species of animals including pets, farmed animals, wild animals, and aquatic animals. The nonprofit uses innovative technology to increase donations to animal welfare and wildlife conservation groups, which currently receive only 2 percent of all giving. At LoveAnimals.org: Nonprofits can easily showcase their projects most in need of funding; Animal Lovers can run crowdfunding campaigns to support their favorite causes or raise money for veterinary care of pets; Donors can have a fun and interactive giving experience where they can choose from a wide array of projects and control how their donations are spent. At LoveAnimals.org, donors can take a few minutes, give a few dollars and have a big impact for animals. LoveAnimals.org is free to use. It takes no percentage of donations raised through the platform, which means more money directly helps animals.
