Vegetarian Cook out ideas
- cassoulady May 28, 2008 10:06 AM
am throwing a bbq next week and have several vegetarian friends coming. I was hoping to offer something on the grill more interesting than just store bought veggie burgers. Any ideas? I would love a recipe for homemade ones. I already plan on doing a grilled veggie salad but would love something interesting my veggie friends can eat that is grilled.
I do have a sausage stuffing attachment to the kitchenaid, so I would love to come up with a veggie sausage I could make from scratch- any ideas and also is there anything I could use for casing that isnt pork intestine?
There's a restaurant here in DC that makes what they call veggie burgers: they are a mixture of duxelles and quinoa, with some goat cheese, that are shaped into patties. They get wrapped with thin slices of eggplant and grilled. The eggplant holds them all together and they are just wonderful. You may want to do a test drive, but they're a really fun version of a veggie burger.
re: katecm
that sounds really good!
Grilled portebellos stuffed with mashed parmesan potatoes
Wrap sandwiches with hummus and grilled vegetables
Marinated and grilled vegetable and tofu kebabs - I like teriyaki marinade
Black Bean Veggie Burgers
makes 6 4-inch burgers or 18 sliders
2 tablespoons olive oil plus additional for cooking the burgers
1 cup corn
2 cups mushrooms, finely chopped
2 scallions, finely chopped
2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
1 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 cup spinach, chopped
1 carrot, peeled and grated
1 potato, peeled and grated
1 15-ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed - mash 3/4 of the can and leave the remaining beans whole
1/2 cup panko
whole wheat buns
mini potato rolls
any burger toppings you like - these would be good with guacamole or chipolte mayo
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and add corn, mushrooms, and scallions. Cook for about 5 - 7 minutes until softened. Add garlic, cumin and cayenne pepper and cook for 1 minute. Add the spinach, carrot, and potato and cook for 4 - 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove for the heat and add the mashed and whole beans and the panko. Stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Shape into burger or slider sized patties and place on a large platter.
Heat a good drizzle of olive oil in a skillet and cook burgers until golden brown and crispy on each side. Serve on a bun, eat it plain, they are great just about any way you would like them.
re: eatmyfood
Yum- you have some great ideas already here..my standby for veggie folks- and we love these too, are portabellos roasted, then stuffed with a goat cheese mixed with herbs. Loosely wrap in foil to warm on grill.
We serve with a toasted bun, garlic mayo, arugula and red onion. And a cold beer.
We grill extra-firm tofu (in a grilling basket) and it's delicious! I marinate thick slices in some combination of soy sauce/balsamic vinegar/garlic/ginger/rice wine.
And for dessert, try grilling fruit, especially peaches, bananas and pineapples. Sometimes I'll split a peach in half and sprinkle with brown sugar or drizzle with honey before placing on the grill. You can also make fruit kabobs.
along the lines of grilled mushrooms, thick slices of eggplant grill up beautifully with just a brush of olive oil. layer with portobello, red peppers, and cheese, or stick to just eggplant--great on a bun.
also, grilled asparagus is about the most delicious thing in the world.
Grilled avocados with your favorite salsa. Cut avocados in half, brush lightly with oil, a little s&p, then grill face down for a bit (use your judgement - a couple minutes? Depends on your grill).
I like them with mango salsa (mango, tomato, red onion, shallot, cilantro, cracked black pepper, dash of white balsamic, all mixed up) . Fill the halved avocado with the salsa and serve.
Grill corn in the husk until it's cooked through. Then, remove the casing, return the corn to the grill, and let it crisp up a little. Dip lime wedges in salt and/or cayenne pepper, and rub the lime wedges over the corn. That's how it's done in India, and it beats butter/salt/pepper, in my opinion!
re: Mellicita
My friend grilled Halloumi for me at a recent bbq. It's very, very delicious! Thanks for posting, I had forgotten the name of the cheese.
Place veggies + pineapple on skewers, marinate w/ chipotle in adobo, S&P, lime... grill:)
Make mexican grilled corn... (if your friends will eat cheese (queso fresco, parmesan is good too and mayo)...also calls for lime and chili powder. Yes, this is an authentic way to eat corn in Mexico, esp. when at the beach! I think Tyler Florence has a recipe for it.
This stuffed poblano recipe from Chowhound is very good (http://www.chow.com/recipes/10921). I think it actually works better under the broiler than on the grill, but I've had success both ways. I've also made the same recipe substituting lean ground beef for the beans, if you want to make two versions. Probably would be good with mushrooms as well.
Grilled tempeh!
If you want sausage thingies you can run the tempeh through the grinder and make patties rather than links. I don't know how they'd hold up on the grill though.
Grilled veggie kabobs with/without extra firm tofu
Roasted potatoes done with onion and garlic in foil packets
...and I know there's more but the other suggestions are so good I'm distracted lol
I don't know about other hounds but any veggie sausage or dog I've tried to grill rather than boil has come out looking like a mutant version of it's former self...they usually blister a fair bit; veggie burgers hold up a lot better. Btw, you probably know this already, but as someone who has enjoyed rock hard veggie burgers in the past: veggie burgers need v-e-r-y little time on the grill, they really only need to be warmed through...leave them too long and they become hockey pucks. :)
Sausage casing is almost always some sort of gut-- the width of the sausage is determined by the size of the animal used. There are commercial casings made of a plastic-y substance but I don't know of a place that sells small quantities to the home cook. I suggest making a patty of some sort instead.
What about a variation on a tabbouleh salad or for that matter tabbouleh? Nice to get some fiber in there.
I love to grill fruit. Marinate peaches, nectarines and pineapple in dark rum with a vanilla bean and lots of brown sugar for a half hour or so and then grill them. You can experiment with spices: allspice, nutmeg, 5 spice, star anise, cinnamon...or plain. I think the key is the rum!
If you're really wicked, you can take the rum and sugar syrup, reduce it, add butter, and make caramel sauce to top the fruit. I did that once, and while we all instantly earned a few cavities, I was surprised how much people dug it. The fruit is really tasty without any sauce at all. A little frozen mousse would be nice alongside.

Fifty Shades of Grey pdf short summary.
The hugely popular book really takes its root systems from a Twilight supporter fiction by the exact same author, titled, Master of the World. The follower fiction distributed on a number of web sites under Brian' pen name, Snowqueen's Icedragon. After the writer's follower fiction received good feedback from viewers, Brian determined to re-work the publication into an original book.
The story of Fifty Shades of Grey introduces the viewers to the main heros Anastasia 'Ana' Steele and Christian Grey. Ana Steele is a 21 year aged university pupil that, covering for her sick good friend Kate, finishes up talking to the young and handsome company magnate Christian Grey.
Nevertheless, Ana is misinterpreted given that it seemed that Grey was additionally drawn in to her. The good-looking guy all of a sudden shows up at Ana's part-time work place, a hardware establishment. Christian after that strangely enough investments wire associations, masking tape and cords, then he leaves with Ana his telephone number.
Both's following encounter has Ana intoxicated and Christian wind up caring for her. When Ana comes to be sober again, Religious admits to her that he is enticed to her. Prior to they enter into an intimate connection, Religious informs her that she has to authorize an agreement. Why a contract? Ana is intrigued and when she accepts concern Religious's residence, the good-looking, powerful guy's dark techniques are uncovered. A secret playroom in his mansion, where Christian makes his wildest and darkest needs happen. Ana is drawn into Christian's secret globe and thus the two's peculiar relationship starts, spanning the triumvirate, with Fifty Tone Darker and Fifty Hue Freed as its succeeding follows up.
The nature of the story has triggered an interest in the re-awakening of sexual writing in basic. Visit any type of book shop and you'll surely be locating rows and rows of racks committed to books of the same motif and content. Definitely, in spite of the eyelash backs at Brian' novels, it can not be rejected that "Fifty Shades of Grey" has actually generated a cult adhering to in the genre.
The hugely prominent story really takes its roots from a Twilight follower fiction by the same author, entitled, Master of the World. The follower fiction distributed on numerous websites under Brian' pen name, Snowqueen's Icedragon. Due to the grownup attributes of the book, she had it eliminated from many supporter fiction websites and published it instead on her very own internet site. After the writer's supporter fiction obtained good comments from readers, James made a decision to re-work the book into an original novel. Ana is attracted in to Christian's secret world and therefore the 2′s peculiar partnership starts, spanning the triumvirate, with Fifty Shades Darker and Fifty Hue Freed as its subsequent sequels.

Do you still plan on posting more of your outfits on here? They are so good!@Anonymous
yeah, I've just been so busy with my life that I can barely even take selfies. Sorry! I'll try and take some before I wither away haha
What kind of music do you listen to?@Anonymous
the question should almost be what don't I listen to. uhmmmmm… I guess my most listened to genres are like art-rock, alternative, indie, alt-pop, soul, northern soul, garage (original and new!), emo, rockabilly, dream pop, synth pop, new wave, new folk, most sort of rock related sub-genres… yeah, I like most genres, there are a lot I can't describe either, like I even like ambient, I listen to a lot of Brian Eno's ambient stuff which is great. I don't listen to a lot of classical, edm, techno, reggae, new-country, traditional folk, dance, top 40 or slow tempo singer song writer. I used to be into musicals, j-pop/k-pop and soundtrack stuff a lot more but now I'm not so much all though I can enjoy it. I like music that I can tap my feet too or has interesting lyrics, vocals or techniques. I work at a record store and have a lot of friends who are in bands or own labels so I get introduced to a lot of stuff but I've sort of figured out my general areas of favour, like I like a lot of things but passion and sincerity make the most effect on me.like some bands I like are 'terrible' but they have emotion and I care about that. I like a lot of normal music, but I also like some weird stuff. I guess it's hard to describe, which is stereotypical of record store workers from experiences working with them but it's true.
sorry for the long and complicated answer but for me there is no simple one. my job is to be a pretentious hipster so I have to do my job.

Black Eyed Peas stars sue former financial advisor
The trio claims Sean M. Larkin cost them dear when he failed to file state and federal income tax returns on their behalf between 2002 and 2009.
In court documents, obtained by the Los Angeles Times, a lawyer representing the three pop stars writes Larkin "falsely represented... on numerous occasions that he was taking care of everything and that they had nothing to worry about."
The band members confronted Larkin after they discovered they had massive tax bills in 2009, and he assured them he would file the delinquent returns and cover all the costs. But, the suit alleges, "Larkin's representations proved to be false."
He was finally fired and the trio paid off its personal taxes, but Larkin allegedly has yet to provide them with financial records they need to complete returns for their touring company.
In a February (12) deposition, Larkin acknowledged failing to file taxes for clients and said he "got in over my head with the amount of clients I had."

Here's something I'll never understand. Nine times out of 10, if I let slip that my daughter is an only child, the person I'm chatting with informs me it's time to have another baby. But never has anyone offered me some cash to help raise my kid.
Funny, isn't it? People are so darn opinionated about only children that they'll waltz right into my womb. They love nothing more than to tell us what we're doing wrong, and why we need to fix it. But they don't spend a lot of time finding out whether we're in any place to take their suggestions.
I'll tell you right now, I'm not. The reasons are varied -- from a difficult pregnancy to a husband who was contented to be an only child himself -- but I can't deny that finances have played a role. How can they not? The latest estimate (pulled from The Case for the Only Child: Your Essential Guide by Susan Newman, Ph.D.) claims it costs about $286,000 to raise a kid (not including college) these days. I could buy a new house for that. In some neighborhoods, I could buy TWO houses for that.
As it is, I'm a working mother as much because I have to be as because I want to be. I went back to work when my daughter was 7 weeks old, and since then have retained at least part-time employment. If I didn't, we wouldn't be able to pay the mortgage. Still think I need to have another kid?
As the average age of moms rises (some 41 percent of newborns are born to women over 35 these days) and as the economy dives, I sit here waiting for all those nosy nellies to pull their opinions out of my belly and start crunching numbers. I'm waiting for all the parents who comment on blogs about bad parents with "if you can't take care of children, you shouldn't have them" to assign that rubric to the every day non-child abusing among us.
The way I see it, opting out on a big family is the responsible choice for many families (notice I said many, not all). We're good parents for making the tough choice to be comfortable with one child instead of struggling with two or three.
Where the "only children are spoiled children" folks see a kid being given too many choices, I see a child who will never have to eat ramen noodles because her mom couldn't afford to buy whole wheat pasta for a family of four. Where the "kids need siblings" folks see a kid who isn't sharing a bedroom or toys, I see a child who doesn't have to make do with just one book because mom isn't working two jobs that keep her from taking any of her kids to the library.
Do you give people with only children grief? Do you ever stop to ask about their finances first?

I have (2) and people are constantly asking when i am going to have a girl. UGH
I have (2) and people are constantly asking when i am going to have a girl. UGH
Egads people are just making conversation.. they are not making life choices for you..quit being so hypersensitive to everything...
i have one and people think its their business to tell me that i should have more. i have many reasons for having an only, finances is one of them, but it was not a big issue with my and DH's decision to only have one.
people just cannot believe we chose to have one child when we are perfectly able to have more than one. my uterus is not to be discussed, it is nobody's business, but alas we do have people asking and when they do (since i was so sick of people asking me!!) we had to resort to lying and telling people that DH shoots blanks.
its annoying, but really, why would i want to have another child when me son is already 4, out of diapers, we dont need bottles or sippy cups anymore or a stroller or any of the gear that comes with having a baby? why would i want to start over with all of that when im perfectly content to having one child?
I don't care how many kids you have, as long as you are properly providing for them and caring for them. For myself, I have two and couldn't imagine having less or more than what I have, but that's just me. My reasons for having just 2 are because of my health. I have to agree with anon, that if it's costing you THAT much to raise ONE child, you need to take a long hard look at your finances. I don't work outside the home, I haven't worked full-time since I had my first child, and we manage to make it. It's all about priorities.
I think people are opinionated either way-I get told that we shouldn't have any more kids-we have two and want just one more. And there really isn't a good reason they say this, I have a good job, good insurance, we fully support our kids ourselves. People in general just need to butt out.

Is it REALLY worth it?
View Single Post
Feb23-09, 04:41 PM
I am 18 and know what you're going through. I once had very big interest in physics, but I realized that most theoretical physicists just end up teaching, even though research is exciting. Right now my plans are to go to American College for a B.S. in Computer Programming / Network Administration, an IT job. I will take all of the hard courses in college though that have to do with physics and math, theoretical and applied.
However, I think you should choose option A because you'll still be a physicist but in a physical and more applied way, even though you probably won't end up discovering anything. You will create and design things instead, maybe even mathematical stuff. You can still always look into the research that other physicists have done, you can stand on the shoulders of giants even without becoming a prestigious scientist. You just need to learn advanced mathematics and all parts of advanced theoretical physics.
The solution is very simple, your advantages are money and opportunity, and you will still be a physicist, but just not be at the cutting edge of theoretical research. You can read what other people have done, it's enough trust me.

This was not what they got back from the blaster. This is a second Econoline Shuten bought to use as a jig to set up the new chassis. Here's the "jig" with the simple perimeter chassis construction just beginning. Working like this makes for an easier time fabricating. Note the body in the background back from the blaster with the bodywork in process.

Back in Storybrooke, everyone's looking for a man. Ashley is looking for Sean, who works ridiculous hours to support her and their baby. Mary Margaret is looking for David, who is torn between spending Valentine's Day with the woman he loves or his wife. And Emma is searching for the man that broke into Mr. Gold's house, but it looks like Mr. Gold found him first. Gold takes him to his cabin in the woods surrounding Storybrooke and demands his property back. He starts beating the man and chastising him for "hurting her," until it looks like he may actually kill his captive. Emma shows up to stop him just in time. The paramedics take the thieving florist away, and the Sheriff arrests Gold. While Sean finally proposes to Ashley and David accidentally gives Mary Margaret the greeting card meant for his wife, Kathryn, Mr. Gold is spending his Valentine's night behind bars.

The Cincinnati Reds would like to sign Homer Bailey to a contract extension, but they know doing so won't be easy.
Bailey is looking for a hefty deal – and rightfully so. But the Reds don't have a lot of available cash now or in the future to give Bailey and the two sides apparently have an 'enormous gap' in regards to a potential extension, this according to ESPN's Jerry Crasnick.
There's an enormous gap between the
#reds last offer and what Homer Bailey wants in a long-term deal, source says.
That's not exactly surprising news given everything we've heard in regards to Bailey and the Reds in recent weeks, though it has to be a bit concerning towards future progress on a deal.
Cincinnati is obviously going to have to give up more money than they want and Bailey is going to have to lower his asking price if the two sides are eventually to come to a deal, but for now it appears the two sides are extremely far apart.

Bosco Wong wants Vanessa Yeung to return his car
Celebrity couple Bosco Wong and Vanessa Yeung has caused quite a stir when their relationship broke earlier this month, and garnered even more media attention when they are said to have broken up, just three months into the relationship.
Although she has maintained her stance that she loves Bosco, after her former affairs were made public, she became widely known as a "gold-digger", and has always requested for bags, cars, credit cards and branded things from her boyfriend.
Rumours spread that Vanessa had asked Bosco to buy an apartment after dating for one month. A source revealed: "Bosco was very busy filming, and Vanessa wanted to spend more time together, so she suggested that they live together. She brought him to Hong Kong island (Southern part of Hong Kong) to view the apartments, and said that there's a high level of privacy there so they won't be caught by paparazzi. She even said they can buy it together as an investment."
The madly-in-love Bosco then told his mother that he wanted to get an apartment. This raised her suspicions, and coupled with the fact that Vanessa is five years older than her son, she was displeased and refused to give him money for the apartment.
His good friends in showbiz such as Hong Kong actors Michael Mik and Jaime Chik were not supportive of the relationship, having heard of Vanessa's character, and advised him to look at it rationally.
Another source said: "Vanessa has always told everyone that she is born in 1976, and even Bosco was fooled – she's actually born in 1972, and is 42 this year! They quarreled because of this, and with all the added negative news about her, Bosco became convinced that she is deceiving him, so he wanted to break up with her, and even told her to return her the car he gave her."
Vanessa wanted to save the relationship, but her efforts were in vain. There were even rumours that she had refused to return the car initially, and asked to keep it as a "break-up fee", but ultimately still returned it.
She has also recently requested to take a break to recuperate from her break-up and all the negative media reports.
When Bosco arrived for an event a few days ago, he did not officially announce that they have broken up, but admitted that Vanessa had returned him the car. He said: "There's been so much trouble just because of a car, it's normal to return a car after borrowing it."

I love Pine trees and pine cones and made this scarf to commemorate that love. This scarf is warm a will protect your head against harsh weather just as pine trees protect the animals huddled in their branches against the same.
The pattern has both written instructions and charts to follow. Contact information is on pattern if you have any problems, feedback or just want to show me how beautiful it looks.
I love the how the stitches on the pine tree forms the beautiful texture of the trunk.
I have matching Pine Tree and Cone Fingerless Gloves on Craftsy also.

My mother taught me to make a chain stitch when I was in elementary school. I was hooked. Now, I enjoy making knit and crochet patterns that I love for others to learn these wonderful arts.

Everyone knows that Ferrari is famous for their individually developed programs, such as the P540 Superfast Aperta and the Superamerica 45. When you mix the talent of Ferrari and their exquisite projects with the wads of cash that can undoubtedly be found in singer/songwriter, Eric Clapton's bank account, you have a recipe for another ridiculously awesome vehicle.
Ferrari and Clapton collaborated to create the Ferrari SP12 EPC (SP = Special Projects12 and EPC = Eric Patrick Clapton), made especially for the singer himself. It is based on the 458 Italia, but adds body work inspired by the 512 BB . The body work includes new bumpers, a wide grille, and a retro-style rear end. There is also a new exhaust system and a whole new interior.
In terms of power, Eric Clapton wanted his one-off Ferrari to carry a powerful V12 engine, but in a "the customer isn't always right" way, Ferrari opted instead to power the sports car with a V8 engine delivering more than 570 HP, or at least that is what the latest rumors are stating. Others seem to think that a V12 still found its way under the hood.
Updated 05/25/2012: Ferrari has officially unveiled today the special edition SP12 EC - a model created as homage to Clapton's career and his long lasting experience as a Ferrari owner. Check the picture gallery for some new images.
Hit the jump to see a video of the Ferrari SP12 EPC!

How to Teach U.S. History to Your KidsTuesday, June 28th, 2011
The results of a recent nationwide test have revealed that U.S. students don't know their history, according to a report released by the New York Times. Only 20 percent of fourth graders, 17 percent of eighth graders, and 12 percent of high school seniors proved themselves proficient on the National Assessment of Educational Progress. Another recent test showed that U.S. students are struggling with Civics knowledge as well.
Part of the problem when it comes to NCLB, or "No Child Left Behind," is that public schools are required to teach to the test – the math and reading test. This often leaves insufficient time for teachers to dive into other subjects.
So what's a parent to do? For one, don't leave the job of teaching U.S. History and Civics to teachers and schools. On the bright side, these subjects aren't constantly changing, one of parents' biggest complaints when it comes to elaborating on math concepts with their kids. Topics such as Brown v. Board of Education or the Revolutionary War are lessons that really haven't changed since you first learned about them in school.
History is also a subject that's easy – and fun! – to make entertaining. Use page-turning historical fiction to help kids dive into the action firsthand, or the new quarter design to introduce stats on each state.
Looking to teach about some landmark American events? You don't have to go it alone. Here are some activities that we think make history lessons a little more inviting:
- Trace the "Steps" to the American Revolution
- Map Your Way to Philadelphia to Sign the Declaration of Independence
- Explore and Sign the Declaration of Independence for Yourself
- Make sure to sign it with a Quill Pen
- Host a Founding Fathers Feast (something the whole family can have fun with!)

It's that time again… the Summer Activities Challenge starts now!Monday, June 20th, 2011
We've just kicked off our third annual Summer Activities Challenge (it's hard to believe it's already been three years!) and the Education.com office is buzzing with excitement. And apparently we're not the only ones. It's been less than two weeks, and already 1,200 families are signed up and over 500 activities have been completed!
The Summer Activities Challenge is a wonderful way to fill those dog days of summer in an educational (but mostly FUN!) way. Plus, your family has the chance to take home our grand prize, a $500 Back to School Splurge, or one of ten Indoor/Outdoor Kids' Croquet Sets (an Education.com A+ Award-winner!). Check out the rave reviews some participating families gave the Winter Activities Challenge: (more…)
Summer Reading Lists: The Best Reading to Beat Boredom!Tuesday, June 14th, 2011
This week marks the final days of school for the last round of kids to escape for summer vacation… and consequently, some understandably frantic parents. As summer starts heating up and the novelty of summer vacation begins to wear off, many families look towards summer camp, vacations, and play dates to keep kids occupied. But no matter how scheduled your summer is, your kids will likely end up with some, "Well… what should we do now?" moments.
Cue Education.com's annual Summer Reading Guide! Whether you're looking for a good read for a family road trip or an at-home activity, you don't need to brave the bookstore or library alone. The Editorial team (as well as some very helpful kids!) have combed through tons of new (and not-yet-released) books to find the very best summer picks for the preschool set through high school-aged teens.

500 Rainsticks + Maker Faire = Endless Fun!Wednesday, June 1st, 2011
Dictionary.com defines a "community" as a social, religious, occupational, or other group sharing common characteristics or interests. At Education.com, we have a rather large community. That is, our community is made up of teachers, parents, caregivers, grandparents, nannies and au pairs, as well as anyone who's involved in the life of a child. That's quite a community!
At the Online Community Manager at Education.com, I'm given the pretty awesome role of interacting with people who visit, read, and put into action the articles, activities, worksheets, school information, and more they find on the site. I feel lucky that I get to hear from people every single day who's role as a person invested in a child's education or development — in any capacity — is improved or made easier by the resources Education.com offers. Although I do my best to distribute this to the rest of the staff, they don't get to hear these kind words as often as me. (After all, I don't want to bombard them with emails!) (more…)

As many of our readers already know, all the editors of LinuxWorld Magazine have day jobs where we use Linux and open source. Some like Paul Sterne of Open-Xchange (www.openexchange.com) and Jon Walker of Linux migration specialists, Versora (www.versora.com), work for vendors. Others are practitioners like Matt Frye who manages Solaris-to-Linux migrations for a telecom infrastructure company. That's what I like about LinuxWorld Magazine; you get the unique perspective of not just pundits who are reporting on technology but anecdotal stories about real-life successes (and failures) that benefit our readers.
I am no exception as I recently joined the executive team of Emu Software (www.emusoftware.com), where we specialize in open source configuration management. In my first few weeks there I realized that one of the reasons that Emu was able to start their business was due to their ability to develop their company infrastructure around cost-effective high quality open source technologies. For example, on one of my first visits to the new office I noticed the sales and marketing staff using Fedora Core, OpenOffice.org, and Evolution for the desktop, all working on laptops with wireless cards. I also noticed that they where using VoIP phones handled by their Asterisk (www.asterisk.org) phone switch. Early last year when I was asked by their chief marketing officer, Greg Wallace, about suggestions for a Web site, I pointed them to MamboCMS (www.mamboserver.com). Since the first of the year this has evolved into Joomla! (www.joomla.org), the open source successor to the still active but slightly battered Mambo project. It doesn't stop there: our customer relationships are managed using SugarCRM (www.sugarcrm.com), an open source solution that can be downloaded for free or purchased with service contracts. Over time I plan to upgrade to their commercial versions, but at this early stage we have the option to build our company as we see fit as there are no costly upgrade cycles or restrictive licenses to drive our decisions. You see, flexibility is what I like, as our revenues grow and we need features we can add to these solutions, but on our terms not the vendor's.
I also compare our situation to the alternatives that many business are saddled with. Many people use PCs pre-installed with Windows and Microsoft Office, and file and print services provided by Microsoft Small Business Server and the corresponding CALS (client access licenses) and Microsoft Exchange. Upgrade cycles for commercial software can often outpace the upgrade cycle of the business and expenses become a function of someone else's schedule, not mine. This doesn't apply only to hardware and software for your IT systems. Many of these organizations are using conventional phone switches or PBXs that hang on the wall in a back room and come complete with a service contract from a qualified provider and proprietary phones (with my VoIP solution I can shop around for the best deal that utilizes an open standard). Not to mention voice mail storage, which was once a costly proposition, is as simple as adding a hard drive. Those of you who have purchased such equipment know they can easily cost thousands of dollars. Or maybe your costs lie in a CRM solution in which small groups may use a multi-user copy of ACT or GoldMine. Others may pay annual per-user fees for hosted solutions like Salesforce.com. It doesn't stop there, as many use even more expensive options, such as enterprise solutions complete with the corresponding database seat licensing. Nothing is wrong with these packages; it's just a matter of whether you are getting a good value out of the money you spend.
As I started to figure the other alternatives to this open source infrastructure, I realized that we probably wouldn't be in business or even couldn't be in business without having these open source tools to make our software and deliver it to our customers. It wouldn't be possible to reach out to global customers without the power of digital collaboration provided by the Internet and run largely with free and open source software. I also became aware that while we see the Linux success stories of Google, Amazon, and eBay, there our thousands if not millions of untold stories of how small businesses are becoming competitive due to the power of the Internet and open source. So I thought maybe I would make sure there was one less unheralded open source tale. As I write this editorial using OpenOffice.org and check facts using Mozilla Firefox, I wonder what story will surface next and hope that our readers take the opportunity to drop us an e-mail to share their successes. Maybe it's a school or a local government or a company that is far removed from the production of information technology such as a textile mill or service agency. Maybe it's a piece of software you developed and released under an open source license. Whatever your open source success story, we would like to hear from you, so drop us an e-mail.

Good Shoe....but.....
March 13, 2012
This is a good shoe, very well made with a great sole. The zero drop is what I like best about it. It won't become a running shoe for me though as it is too heavy. I'm used to wearing NB Minimus and this shoe is just too heavy even though it has the extra protection I was looking for. I will keep this shoe and it will become and everyday walk around shoe for me. Also, it doesn't have the double eyelets at the ankle like most of the running shoes today do, I use the double eyelets to get the correct fit/tightness and you just can't do that with this shoe. Hope this helps anyone else, sizing is spot on.

Ambient music focuses on creating a mood or atmosphere, and rarely features the structure of a recognizable composition, melody or rhythm. Developing in the late 1970's in the United Kingdom, this synthesizer-heavy genre combines elements of space rock, and Krautrock (German experimental music.)
Eerie Binary Tides, from album Dreams and Whispers pulsates through various disconnected ambient sound effects and rhythms to create a chill, mellow texture for Meditation, Science, or Short Film projects. Subdued, ethereal Explore the Now, adds a quiet touch for scenes of wonder, discovery or mystery for Documentaries and Indie Films.
Happiness is a choice; it's ten percent what happens to us, and ninety percent how we react to it. Easy Listening Royalty Free Music from SmartSound conveys both the peaceful reassurance of this viewpoint, and also its unconventionality, in the variety and intriguing treatments available through SmartSound's multi-track albums.
Most people recognize folk music when they hear it, yet it's not easy to define. Coming from the German "volk," – "of the people," traditional folk music is often unexcitingly labeled "music of no known composer," or "passed down through oral tradition." It's usually at least as old as the 19th century, but may even pre-date that. Some types of folk music are called world music.
Contemporary folk music reached a peak in the 1960's, being based on a revival of older folk styles. Whatever the era or style, SmartSound Royalty Free Folk Music includes generous examples of both modern composition and traditional songs.
Funky Royalty Free Music is all about the beat and groove, with the accent on danceable smooth. It de-emphasizes melody and harmony, with bass and drums predominating, and electric instruments thrown in. James Brown is called the father of funk; when he originated the style in the late 1960's he took elements of jazz, soul and R&B, and streamlined them to create the funky sound that's still just right for any scene needing a cool boost.
Check out Smartsound's Slam Funk, for the gamut of what funk is about. Friend or Funk, billed as funk for the new millennium jams R&B Band with Organ breakdown to punch up Product Videos and On Hold music. This pulsating track is slick and edgy. Pump up action and chase scenes with Funk Proof—driving guitars and piping hot organ give the track a punchy Motown vibe.
Smartsound's Royalty Free Guitar music covers some big territory, with no less than four albums highlighting Guitar music.
Homespun Guitar features the dreamy, contemplative moods evoked with the clear lines of acoustic guitar. Country/Folk Ballad The Way you Smile, creates a quiet, soothing background for Biography and Spoken Word/Narration. Touching, tender scenes get the right ambience through piano/strings duet.
Easy-going, carefree Wellness, joins piano and acoustic guitar for a light, positive outlook.
Just like Country Rock found a lot of fans in the Boomer College years for its ability to blend two popular sounds, Indie/Country music from SmartSound expands the reach of both genres for the 21st century.
Electric Guitar warbles around with genuine Country Twang for Aesthetics: New Rock. You'd almost swear there might be pedal steel in there in this amiable outing. The steady beat cruises along with some mandolin tweaks chiming in from time to time; a perfect background for road trip scenes that heat up towards the middle then taper back.
SmartSound Country/Folk Vocals are a select, but earthy collection, starring primarily Jesse Smith and Blind Optimism, Josh Eagle and the Harvest City, and Brady Harris.
Interestingly enough, the number of tracks answering to both Classical and Orchestral among the SmartSound stacks is relatively small. However dozens of songs in the Classical department, played with full orchestra, could easily take their place in productions needing Classical Royalty Free Orchestral Music.
Leading the pack, as appropriate, is Richard Strauss' Zarathustra from album Cinema Standards, arranged by Ron Sorbo. Immediately recognizable from its use as theme music for the Apollo space program, and in the greatest movie of all time, 2001, A Space Odyssey, (Can you tell I'm prejudiced?) this theme makes a fantastic intro for stories of epic proportions.

I drew this October 2011. It was my first Crashtown pic.
Placido is an outlaw and Antinomy is a sheriff….
Alas,… Justice does not always prevail.
I looked at pictures of old western locomotives to draw Placido's bike half. I initially drew his gun on the wrong side, and then ended up giving him double revolvers….Hey, twice the guns, twice the fun. I also debated adding a gallows on the hill in the background. It was tough decision, but in the end, I decided that it was probably too much. It seems better to leave Antinomy's fate open-ended.
Looking at it now, I think there are a lot of things I could have done better….

The Barnett Institute of Chemical and Biological Analysis in collaboration with the School of Criminology and Criminal Justice is hosting the 14th annual Francine and Michael Saferstein Memorial Lecture with Distinguished Lecturer Dr. John Butler.
The lecture is on Friday, April 5 at 10 a.m. in 440 Egan Research Center.
Dr. Butler has a B.S. in chemistry from Brigham Young University and a Ph.D. in analytical chemistry from the University of Virginia. His Ph.D. research, which was conducted in the FBI Laboratory's Forensic Science Research Unit with Bruce McCord, involved pioneering the techniques now used worldwide in modern forensic DNA testing.
Dr. Butler is a NIST Fellow and Group Leader of Applied Genetics at the National Institute of Standards and Technology. He is author of the internationally acclaimed textbook Forensic DNA Typing, which is now in its third edition, as well as more than 130 scientific articles and invited book chapters.
In August 2011, ScienceWatch.com announced that Dr. Butler was number one in the world as a high-impact author (number of citations per paper published) in legal medicine and forensic science for the decade 2001-2011.
The Francine and Michael Saferstein memorial Lecture in Forensic Science was established in 1998 by Dr. Richard Saferstein, an internationally renowned forensic scientist, in memory of his wife and son.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
There was some evidence a while back that they're using 32-bit ints for damage done, so I'm guessing the same could be said of health.
The evidence was in the cap on how much damage a single spell could do. There was a warlock who mixed talents and tier bonuses to get their shadow bolts to both reset the timer on corruption and increase its tick size. One corruption and a few bazillion shadow bolts on one of those unkillable ghosts in the blast lands later, we found out that the damage cap is 2^28 -1. The assumption is that there's also one bit for the sign and three bits for the damage type (white, physical, holy, shadow, nature, fire, frost and healing).

Last Day in Hawaii
Today was my last full day in Hawaii and I spent it around the area we stayed in catching up in a good book, soaking in some rays, and enjoying ice cream. It was a perfect day for just myself. We head back home later tonight and as much as I'm looking forward to heading back to the countryside, I am going to miss our summer spot in Hawaii. I suppose it's that time to hang up my bikini and sip on hot tea with a scarf around my neck.

My SL mother is incredibly talented.

He's really into superheros and this was the outcome:

Parcours Du Combattant
Ever since I've seen videos of David Belle, I have been fascinated with parkour – not only because of the strength and mind control it takes to perform these stunts, but also because of the fluid complexity that follows when one traverses the terrains to get from point A to point B. The energy that flows from one point of impact to another is supposed limit energy loss to keep momentum going, yet parkour is not just a form of street art or bodily sport, but a journey. Here's my short journey:
Classy & Casual
So it's been a while since my last post, and a lot has happened since then! The Arcade occurred and I fell victim of all the cute random prizes. The event was amazing and I ended up with a full spice rack by Anya Ohmai, as well as a few rare Auxillary mouse ears and rare Beetlebones hamsters.
Anyway, back to the main blog picture, I am a HUGE fan of dress shirts and these new releases from Kal Rau are amazing. Usually I do not purchase fat packs, but there have been a few exceptions (n-creation hoodies) and now Kal Rau's casual shirts.

Mon Tissu Blog Entry!!
I'm more than excited to find out that Mon Tissu is in search for a new blogger for their amazing store and products. The prizes are well worth just entering but the BEST prize is becoming a Mon Tissu blogger. My excitement surely can't be contained. I've been a loyal customer of Mon Tissu since their beginning days and with that I have a drive to continue in growth with them by writing and displaying their symphony of fashion.
Fall is here and what better way to submit an entry starting off with my favorite time of the year. This is the time for hot tea, home-made soup, leggings, patterned scarfs, and pumpkins. Mon Tissu's slouchy sweatshirt in peach would give anyone the desire to jump in a huge pile of leaves! I topped off my autumn look with Mon Tissu's skinny scarf in cream and brown cottage flats. This ensemble allows a sense of comfort, style, and just a tinge falling leaves and pumpkin coffee!

Fight for the Users
With epic wheels, one would need an epic track. Yes, my friends – I did. I got myself a battle arena from [NeurolaB Inc.]. It's got two levels of amazingness, spanning across an entire sim. You'd think that such a beautiful build would probably cost you plenty in prims, but don't worry. It's partial mesh and comes in only at 99 prims.
And with an awesome combat zone like this, it's only fitting to complement it with the best weapons and gear – a stunning combat disc from ~JJ~ and a high-detailed sleek suit from GRAVES. Play hard and look good doing it.
Credits and more pictures below…
Fall is in the air…
I can feel it already. The change in the air, the colors mellowing out, kids returning to school, pumpkin flavored "everything" is being stocked, and the retail stores have placed out Halloween decor and costumes. I love the fall for many reasons but mostly it's a time to wind down, get ready for football season, and enjoy more days with family and friends. I put together this outfit with no reason to follow…it just popped out of my subconscious I think; and it reminds me of the beginning of the season.

"Schnucks has been a longstanding leader in home video sales and rentals," said Dan Alaimo, video editor for Supermarket News. "Schnucks is one of the pioneers in DVD rentals and is constantly on the cutting edge of the video business. It's just one reason why Schnucks is a leader in all aspects of the supermarket business."
"We try to make our video stores more than just a place to rent videos," said Denis Oldani, director of video operations for Schnucks. "Our goal is to fill all of our customers' entertainment needs with such options as video games, DVD video and laser discs while also serving as a major ticket outlet for local entertainment events."
Alaimo said Schnucks was one of the first retailers to offer DVD videos for rent. "When Warner Brothers first came out with DVD videos back in 1997, it originally intended to offer them only for sale," said Oldani. "We saw a greater potential in rentals, so we purchased DVD videos from stores in one of the test markets and offered them to our customers for rent. A year later, others are following our lead."
"At Schnucks, we pride ourselves on anticipating and meeting our customer needs," Oldani added. "For example, we stay on top of the newest video game formats, but we still offer formats for machines that are no longer in production."
Schnucks offers videos for sale and rental at 73 of its 89 stores in Missouri, Illinois and Indiana. The family-owned company was founded in St. Louis in 1939.

School is a big day for most of those. Photographs on the graduation ceremony, the college images, the instructors the friends, all the college remembrances are a particular and inseparable reminiscences for each of us. A scrap-booking challenge is an excellent method for saving all your college memories, whether the prestigious certificate, the particular graduation hat with the tassels, or even the photographs obtained while you ended up awarded your current degree, or perhaps the ones taken with friends and family after the graduating ceremony. Acquire all the souvenirs that reminds you of one's graduation and hang it in concert in an eye-catching scrapbook to value your thoughts forever. Include graduation estimates to along with graduation style stickers to brighten the book. You may also add a unique page signed by your batch-mates as well as professors.
When the scrapbook is being generated for a co-worker who is heading off, then the concentration will be more with professional accomplishments but the form of the scrapbook may reflect the interests of your companion. If your colleague is a excited reader, and then allow the scrapbook to imitate the concept of his or her favorite book. When bowling is a lot more up his alley, next allow this to be the dominant attractive feature. Also you can include amusing quotes in relation to retirement in addition to photos via various office events. Have messages through former and provide bosses and colleagues. Yet another cool thought would be to develop a hall of fame document for all their particular professional accomplishments.
Scrapbooking embellishments come in hundreds of distinct materials, colors and styles. They can incorporate anything from admission stubs and also playbills to lace, lace along with stickers. If you can glue that to a scrapbooking podcast, you can use it for an embellishment.
Dry flowers usually are beautiful highlights, especially when they may be souvenirs from a wedding bride's bouquet or a promenade corsage. They're also loaded with lignin which will yellowish your paper and photographs with time. Sealing dry flowers involving sheets regarding transparent plastic-type material will protect both the vulnerable blooms and also your photographs.
Apart from the firetruck and the Dalmatian dog, the most popular graphics associated with firefighters are going to be their outfits, the loath, and the fireplace hydrant. Using these graphics in your scrapbook can help add to the setting and appearance of the firefighting theme.
The basic layout include a main image and two, more compact photographs. They must be positioned in wherein the main picture is the very first to draw awareness. The background shade should not blend with the colorings in the pictures. Contrasting hues help the photos stand out.
These great elemental sounds in nature are the sound of rainwater, the sound of wind flow in a primeval wooden, and the seem of outer ocean over a beach – Henry Beston
Another excellent subject matter for the memory space book would be a action or maybe team that the person items. Sporting activities and other actions are perfect ideas for a brand new scrapbook. An accumulation of staff pictures, rosters, along with staff memorabilia might create a lengthy lasting document of the certain periods in a very person. You could contemplate getting teammates or perhaps club set people 'autograph' your own scrapbooking alongside class or personal photographs.

It looks like they were still in business at least 36 years later (at 5815 North Broad Street in Philly).
The kids appear to be looking at two (or more) photographers. Hopefully, their heads weren't chopped off in those photos, too.
Further, one kid hasn't figured out the bad news: their prize is what appears to be a case of canned goods. Were they able to trade it for a pair of roller skates and candy before their mothers found out?
The little girl looks like she came from Little Annie's orphanage! Make me wonder where the red headed girl is?

Premiums As Advertisements.
By Richard Wallace.
In the opinion of many, premium-giving is a poor way to advertise. Yet there are others who find the system to pay, and pay well. Notable among such concerns are the Kirkman Borax Soap people, whose factory is in Brooklyn. Nowadays their advertising efforts are almost solely confined to their system of offering premiums for coupons and wrappers, and the only mediums they use are their own packages of Borax Soap. These usually contain a large circular, which describes, by illustration and text, the various premiums that are to be given, and the number of coupons or wrappers required to obtain any particular article.
The premiums range downward from clocks and watches to mere chromos*, but that the scheme is popular and profitable is shown by the fact that the firm finds it necessary to keep a staff of clerks whose sole duties are to keep track of the applications for premiums, count coupons, and see that the proper articles are sent to those asking for them.
The success of the premium scheme lies in the fact that once a woman begins to save her coupons or wrappers she perseveres in the collection until she has the desired number, and so has to continue using the soap. This, by the way. has its own inherent merits, and so the woman who once begins to use it continues to do so, and gets article after article in exchange for her coupons. There are thousands of names on the premium books that have been there for many years.
