This is an excellent potato salad for a party, because it's not mayonnaise based, so can stay out on the buffet table with no risk! I've served this salad as written, for both summer and winter dinner parties, it's most important to have FRESH tarragon...and add the amount in recipe and to your own taste...you may like more.
Green Bean-Potato Salad
- 2 pounds red potatoes
- 1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
- 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
- 4 green onions, sliced
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- Place potatoes and water to cover in a large saucepan; bring to a boil over medium heat, and cook 13 minutes. Add green beans, and cook 7 minutes or until potatoes are tender; drain. Rinse with cold water. Cut each potato into 8 wedges.
- Whisk together vinegar and next 6 ingredients in a large bowl; add potatoes and green beans, gently tossing to coat. Cover and chill at least 2 hours.

I'm not sure what you mean about the mad alchemist's potion not being useful. I actually use it quite often for emergencies. Instead of two bag slots for health and mana potions, I just have two stacks of mad alchemist's potions. The side effect has never been all that great for me (added attack power doesn't do much for those staff crits on my priest), but usually you can just ignore those.
Hopefully the crazy potion will have some fun weird effects. Sad to say that the cool stuff like Noggenfogger and Deviate Delights never really got equivalents in the expansion.
But the side effects are *random*. It can proc any of the elixirs, I've gotten strength, agility, int/spi, spell damage, resilience even. That's why it's "mad". Sometimes it'll proc something useful to your class, sometimes not.
And it's not bop, it's just only useable by alchemists.

14 June 2013. It was approximately 2 am where I came out from a hawkers food stall in Cheras (behind leisure mall). The hawkers food stall was quite a distance from where I parked and at that time there wasn't any cars around mine. I was lighting up my cigarette and sitting in the car for less than 1 min and too late to noticed and there was 2 malays pointing the machete at my back. i wasn't bucket up with my safety bell and they were hitting my back with the machete. i was forced to lean against the steeling wheel and they kept demanding for my valuables stuff. With the force from them, i cant even reach my wallet and they insist and keep whacking me with machete again and to the extend i was shouting at them "tunggu Sekejap boleh?" I delayed them and manage to honk my car and quickly change gears and drove off!
FYI, i was in the car with my door locked and they were standing outside my car. Due to the space limitation, the impact wasn't bad enough to wound my back.
The lesson is never park your car at secluded areas… or don't smoke with your windows down?

Billionaire Donald Trump serious about buying Bills
New York, NY, United States (4E Sports) – New York City businessman and billionaire Donald Trump declared that he's committed to buying the Bills and keeping the team in Buffalo.
"I'm going to give it a heavy shot," Trump said in a newspaper interview. "I would love to do it, and if I can do it, I'm keeping it in Buffalo."
According to multiple sources, Trump has had two conversations with Bills president and CEO Russ Brandon.
Earlier, Trump confirmed that he was contacted by a group looking to purchase the Bills following the death of longtime owner Ralph Wilson.
Aside from purchasing the Bills, Trump said he will not move the team anywhere else, contrary to reports that he is eyeing either Los Angeles or Toronto.
"I live in New York, and it's easier for me to go to Buffalo than any other place," Trump said. "Where am I going to move it, some place on the other side of the country where I have to travel for five hours?"
Since the death of Wilson in late March, speculation around the Bills' future in Buffalo has increased.
The team has confirmed that the franchise will eventually be sold, saying "a process will be established at an appropriate time" for the sale.

Install Unity Tweak Tool in Ubuntu
The Unity Desktop Shell for GNOME 3 on Ubuntu Linux has created a lot of controversy in the desktop Linux world. Some users love the new forward looking vision of Unity while others long for a more traditional desktop layout. One of the criticisms of Unity has been its lack of configuration settings. While many configuration settings have been added to Unity since the initial release, most of them remain hidden from regular users. That's where the Unity Tweak Tool comes in. It provides GUI access to many of Unity's hidden settings and collects them together under one convenient application. Read more

Distro Review: Linux Mint 13 "Maya" Cinnamon Edition
Filed under: Distro Review, FOSS, gnome, linux, Linux Mint, review, Ubuntu
On May 23, 2012, Linux Mint 13 "Maya" was released. There are two desktop flavors available, the MATE Edition and the Cinnamon Edition. MATE is a fork of the GNOME 2 desktop since the GNOME project has abandoned GNOME 2 in order to work on GNOME 3 development. Cinnamon is a project started by Linux Mint in order to include a classic GNOME 2 style interface in a GNOME 3 environment. Both of these flavors are available in 32 bit and 64 bit versions.

Certainly, if you're just ripping a new CD, then just convert the audio to your chosen format at that time.

"I'm stunned. I've just seen something astonishingly beautiful and unexpected. I came upon a half hidden trail overlooking the bay, and followed it down, through a dense forest leading to a small beach. A fisherman there told me, 'Few know about this place, but it's like nothing else in the world.' As he spoke, a dense fog lifted, and before me stood the majestic arch of the Golden Gate Bridge." --Artist Thomas Kinkade
Measurements:Image Size: 14"H x 14"WOverall Size: 14"H x 14"W x 1.5"D
The famed arch of San Francisco's suspension bridge, artfully captured in Thomas Kinkade's serene style. A warm glow lightens this colorful cityscape, as waves gently crash on the shore. Created in a gallery wrap canvas design, the print brings the premium style of the art gallery into your home. Made in the USA.
About the Golden Gate BridgeThe longest suspension bridge span in the world when it was completed in 1937, San Francisco, California's Golden Gate Bridge is an internationally recognized symbol of the city. Before the bridge was built, the shortest trip was by ferry, taking anywhere between 20 to 27 minutes. After four years of work, a week-long celebration marked the opening of the bridge. Celebrate your own special memories of this bridge, or just enjoy the architectural wonder, by adding this print to your home.
About Gallery Wrap:
Bring the premium style of the art gallery into your home with a gallery wrap canvas print. In a gallery wrap canvas, the artwork extends around the sides of the canvas, and the fabric canvas is attached to the back, not the sides, of the solid wood stretcher frame.
Additional Information:
Weighs 1.2 pounds. You'll receive a certificate of authenticity to denote this is a genuine piece of Thomas Kinkade artwork. For indoor display only.

Designing it to handle those crowds would require Lego to fundamentally alter its concept of individual play-driven attractions (as opposed to attractions designed for large and more passive audiences, such as those on a roller coaster or watching in a theater).
So that leaves a couple other options for reducing crowds: Jack up the price (the Discovery Cove model), or put the park in an out-of-the-way place. Lego's decided, I suppose, that it better serves its family audience with the second.
That said, Lego's not picking bad locations for its parks. Carlsbad is beautiful and has lovely family-friendly amenities near. And this Kansas City suburb appears to have the yuppie demo that Lego's after. And it's located reasonably near a major interstate, as well.
So I think they'll get their million a year there. Yes, Legoland could do five million a year in Garden Grove or six in Orlando. Legoland reminds me of an art-house filmmaker, who could try to make a blockbuster, but is actually happier making a living crafting critically acclaimed films that relatively few people ever see.
The metro area is already a tourist destination. The second KC metro Bass Pro Shop is being built less than 30 minutes away, which draws in tons of families. A new arena is being built downtown. The speedway was built in KCK.
The city is becoming a theme park destination city

Rate Of Flu Vaccination Among Adults Lagging Behind Children
More children than ever are being vaccinated for the flu, but adults have a way to go.
Good Question: When Is The Best Time To Get The Flu Shot?
Every flu season is different, but it typically begins in early October and November and peaks in December, January or February.
Flu Forecasts Could Become As Easy As Predicting the Weather
A new study into flu outbreaks could one day make predicting when flu season will hit as easy as forecasting the weather, saving lives in the process.

Black Hoof Cafe - Review with Pics
- flying101 Mar 14, 2010 12:04 PM
Went for brunch yesterday... kinda sad since apparently today they are launching some new menu items that I would of loved to try. But no complaints from the menu on the day we went, just means I have to head down again soon :p
started off sharing the Ploughman's Breakfast:
This was an assortment mixed charcuterie and two types of cheese (one aged goats milk, one soft cows milk), mustard and pickles (gherkins, carrots and spicy cauliflower). The meats where tasty as per-usual, the cheese where outstanding, the creamy soft cows milk one (for get the name, but both were from quebec). The mustard for one of my fellow diners was to strong in vinegar, but I rather enjoyed it as it cut the fat/creamyness of the meats and cheeses very well.
Blood Susage and Crepes
Tongue Grilled Cheese
Hoof Hash:
Eggs Benny:
The eggs on all dishes were perfectly poached, the sandwich was not as filling as my friend wanted (lucky we got the shared dish prior), the biscuits the eggs benny were served on were slightly on the hard/crusty side, but when used to soak up the hollandaise it was perfect.
Long wait to be seated (as expected with such a crammed space and no reservations... but once seated serves was polite, knowledgeable and attentive.
Came to about $25 a person after tip with no alcohol
Also was able to pick up a platter for 'take out' that I served at a friends party.
re: JennaBean
Take out platter was $50... it came with:
12 different types of curred meats (including their blueberry bison)
1 piece of terrine
2 cups of duck liver mousse
2 kinds of mustard
Pork Rinds
Assorted pickles
Full loaf of bread
served around 10-15people in the end (not everyone at the party was very adventurous)... did end up getting some leftovers that I am still munching on, probably could of served up to 20
the price point was by my choosing, so it isn't a set amount. I am sure if you email Grant you could find something that suits you best. He is very approachable and replies quickly to his email.
you can find it on their twitter account
re: flying101
Those pictures are fantastic and that take out platter looks like a pretty good deal. Looks like Grant is pretty much doing everything right.
re: flying101
That seems like a great deal for the quality of product! Thanks very much for the info.
About 8 of us when to the Black Hoof 2 months ago (right before they opened the second location across the street). I won't go into what we ate, all I can say is we were all very adventurous that night. Would I go back - damn straight I would. Excellent food, great price point. We live in Oshawa with 2 kids so it's not an easy go for us. The friends we went with from TO have all been back - numerous times to mention really.
Is the wait worth it - we waited 1.5 hours in the FREEZING COLD - I would do it again!
re: BusterRhino
Next time walk east for about 5 minutes and have beer in The Press Club while you wait. It will be warmer!
re: haggisdragon
We were actually going to do that - and we should of. The wait was only supposed to be about 20 minutes but the 2 parties that were there took longer than expected. Was worth it though 100%.
Thanks for this. The takeout platter is a great idea. Got to say I loved the Hoof but had no plans of returning as it's not 1-2 hour wait good for me personally. Not to mention my experience was similar to your review, all the charcuterie was awesome good, but some of the surrounding players were not up to snuff. Knowing I can get just the meat without the wait...priceless.
re: JPJ
For the black hoof I would suggest either aiming to arrive JUST at 6pm, or every 2hrs post 6pm to get the shortest wait (so 8pm, 10pm, 12pm... last call for food on thurs-sat is 1:00pm+) 10pm-11pm being your best bet for a table in my experience, I have never had to wait more then 15min at those hours but maybe I am just lucky?
the cafe for brunch is a diff story, expect a wait on the weekends... but they do take your number and give you a call so you can leave and come back.
I have yet to try Black Hoof or the Hoof Cafe but plan to shortly. If I had to choose one, which would it be? One thing - on a recent trip to Lille, I went to La Part des Anges http://auxplaisirsdesvignes.com/menu-... - seems the presentation is lot messier in Toronto and in Lille, the bread kept flowing. Someone talk up the Hoofs to me, please! http://www.flickr.com/photos/jan1ce/4... for my Lille experience - the MIXTE
The Black Hoof

re: Calam1ty
You want to go to the Hoof. Remember the Cafe only serves brunch and "snacks" not the full dinner.
If I comparing your pictures to what I have been served at the Hoof it is not messier, remember the plloughman's lunch in the original review here is NOT the same as the charcutarie at the main restaurant. I will comment that the one thing I found a little silly here is that they charge for bread.
re: Calam1ty
The black hoof is only open at night 6pm+ the cafe serves brunch, and after 6pm serves 'snacks'
re: Calam1ty
Here are some pics so you can compare the charcuterie at the black hoof... it doesn't come with cheese or bread (both you have to pay separately for $15/25 for the cheese $4/6 for the bread if I can remember the prices)
Here are some photos (sorry for the poor images of the charcuterie plates, it is very dark and me lens couldn't fit the whole board in 1 image)
I've been looking forward to going to The Hoof Cafe for quite a few weeks. Well, actually The Black Hoof was on my list first, but after reading articles about long wait and no reservations The Hoof Cafe seemed a little bit more accessible. We got there just a little after noon and were told that the wait is not too long. We chose to wait on a bench outside the cafe, which in retrospect was not such a good idea since the "not too long wait" took about an hour. Even though it was our first meal of the day, we were not too hungry; we enjoyed the weather outside and watched a few guys running back and forth across the street from The Hoof Cafe to The Black Hoof carrying bags of spinach and other foods.
The place is small, only about 6-8 tables and a bar that seats around 8-10 people.
The service was nice although maybe a little bit on the slow side. The stuff was very knowledgeable about the menu and we were explained in details how everything was prepared. There are no menues, everything is written on blackboards.
We started with their Charcuterie platter - Ploughman's
Except for Prosciutto on top and Cheese, everything else was housemade. Blueberry Bison was amazing, as well as Capaccola. I was not overly impressed with Duck Prosciutto although it was still very nice. Lightly pickled vegetables contrasted really well with the saltiness and fattiness of the meats. It was a great sample platter and I am definitely going to return if only just to have that again.
My boyfriend had Beans & Links, i.e. Baked Beans with Tongue, Homemade Sausage, Perfect Egg (which actually was a problem since he doesn't like runny eggs and he was not asked how he likes it to be cooked) and Fried Greens (I think it was Collard greens but I am not sure). I tried the beans and really enjoyed the flavour, but he was really unimpressed by this dish.
I had Eggs Benedict which was absolutely amazing. Nice soft biscuits piled with the most tender and flavourful pulled pork, topped with perfectly poached eggs and covered in really nice a little bit tangy sauce. One of the best egg dishes I've ever had!!!
Coffee was served in French Press

re: Julia_K
I really liked their Spicy Summer sausage off of the Ploughman's! I also really liked the Bacon and Egger recently. Did a huge Hoof-a-thon. late lunch at the cafe, dinner at The Hoof, and then breakfast the next day!!
re: jlunar
Spicy Sausage is the red one on the right in my picture? I really liked that one too.
How was Bacon and Egger? Was it filling enough or one might want to have something else?
re: Julia_K
Definitely filling enough. It's the thick-cut bacon that they use and an egg per half-sandwich. I'll have photos up sooner or later... But one is enough, especially when supplementing it with a shared ploughman's.
Quite tasty and currently my favourite on the menu. I hear they're changing it up soon though.
http://www.foodpr0n.com/ -- food. is. love.
re: jlunar
I'll wait for your review.
I really want to go back there but my boyfriend was discouraged by somewhat smaller portions, so I am not sure when I am going to be able to visit the place again.
re: Julia_K
I've got a photo of the bacon and egger here (and a photo of the pig-shaped summer sausage lol!):
To say I loved it is an understatement. Good to know it might get pulled from the menu soon - I'm going to see if I can grab another one (or two...) before it's gone!
re: Julia_K
The Bacon & Egger – so good that I had it two days in a row. Thick-cut bacon, topped with a fried egg, sunny-side up and some greens. Sandwiched between soft Calabrese bread, if I recall correctly. Decadent and delicious. Comes sided with lightly-battered onion rings. Really tasty.
Really, it's my favourite breakfast sandwich right now!

re: jlunar
The side of bacon photo on your blog - what's the liquid it's sitting in?
And wow, that's a lot of charcuterie lol! What are they selling now? It looks like a few new items since I went.
re: jlunar
I take that back! It's maple :)
re: ggom1
pork belly pastrami sitting in a maple syrup sauce - a little buttery to me. i got 3 pieces, not sure if one is hiding underneath in the photo, and as a side at $4 it is a must get.
not sure when the bacon and egger made it onto the menu, but they mentioned the menu was switched up this weekend and it wasn't on the board.
re: pinstripeprincess
Mmmm I was wondering if that was maple syrup. But sad that the bacon and egger is off the menu! :( Any standouts on the new menu?
re: ggom1
i had a very minor sampling.... part of a food tour day... so other than the pastrami i tried the grilled octopus with ndjua (sp?) which was quite nice though the octopus obviously not the freshest (a TO issue in general) and they've finally got control over that nudja (sp?) spiciness which was sauteed with pieces of pork. it also had potatoes and a delicious burnt lemon sauce. quite liked the summer salad with peas, shaved asparagus, dehydrated ... proscuitto?, butter lettuce, etc though i didn't feel it needed a truffle gastrique... something sharper maybe mustardy would have worked better for me. finished it off with the salted chocolate cookies... more reminiscent of a two bite brownie because of its fudginess and only the tiniest hint of salt which i appreciated the restraint of - seemed like the salt was in the chips. i could eat those things forever! btw the savoury dishes were stunning... i love that plating in toronto really seems to be taking a turn for the better.
really wanted to try their hay ham (another side for $3!) which is braised with hay and then something else is done to it.... but will have to save it for another time along with the crown bacon (didn't get an explanation) and blood sausage & crepes. those were the only items i could identify as new but it's been a while since i had gone.
re: pinstripeprincess
Went in this morning and had the Octopus as well. I was pretty stoked on it. Got the pig tail and grits and their BC Spot Prawn special of the day.
I'm going back to order the entire menu.
re: Notorious P.I.G.
did you find the octopus a bit mushy? other than that i think it was a great dish. also good to know brunch is available monday morning, i always assumed it was just thurs-sun.
re: pinstripeprincess
My Octupus was very nicely cooked. Sous- Vide then grilled maybe? Too bad about the mushiness...
Yeah, I never think to check and today it just sort of popped into my head as somewhere I'd like to try if it where open. Lo and behold...
re: Notorious P.I.G.
Ooo sounds like the same octopus we had - it was on the Black Hoof menu over the May long weekend as a special. The server mentioned it was cooked sous-vide.
The Black Hoof
928 Dundas St W, Toronto, ON M6J, CA
re: ggom1
Oh! Are you guys talking about this one?
I really liked the toasty garlic bread bits. Thought the Octopus was fine when we had it.
re: jlunar
That's the one I had! We had the pork shoulder too but only with asparagus - yours looks so much better.
re: jlunar
it doesn't look like the same dish save for the octopus main ingredient.
nduja sauteed pork pieces, octopus, fingerling slices, some greenery i don't recall, and a burnt lemon sauce. no bread. it's an aesthetically stunning dish with all the colours.
re: jlunar
Plated differently but could be...did yours have the Nduja and Lemon sauce?
I think the highlight for me was still the Spot Prawns with Morels.
re: Notorious P.I.G.
I had the spot prawns, but no morels!
And mine did have njuda and maybe the lemon sauce - it's a bit of a blur now.
PSP > mine was pretty identical, except I don't remember the lemon sauce.
re: jlunar
funny, it looks pretty different... yours with ramps, mine definitely not.... octopus was grilled but did not have any sauce all over it.
re: Julia_K
Am planning to go check out the Hoof after all these great reviews. I know it opens at 6pm, how early should I arrive on a Friday afternoon to get a table (for two)?
re: alvar
Unless there's an unusual flood of people, at 6 is more than fine for 2. Especially since their back patio is open now.
I arrived with my party of 6 at about 5:45 and there were two small parties ahead of us. By the time they opened their doors, there were two more parties behind us (one larger one).
If anyone's curious, I took a photo of the fried chicken special - http://adventuretess.blogspot.com/201...
They're serving it on both Sundays and Mondays. Pretty good, I liked the hot sauce a lot. It's a big dish, if you're splitting it between two people I think you might be too full to order any of the other dishes (they have takeout containers though, if you want to pack up leftovers).

It's been a good day for TV mysteries getting an explanation, as The Simpsons creator Matt Groening explained where Springfield exists. Basically, while he has a specific Springfield in mind, he picked that name because it's a common name for a city, increasing the odds that a viewer would see the Simpsons' Springfield as their town.
And then, we finally found out what that "tossed salad and scrambled eggs" refers to in the closing song to Frasier. It turns out those are things that are mixed up, much like the people who Frasier Crane advises.

GREEN BAY, WI (LEARFIELD-WSAU) Green Bay Packers' coach Mike McCarthy is achieving one of his biggest goals at Training Camp -- reducing injuries. Fourteen players have missed at least one practice or exhibition game since camp began in late July. That's down from 26 a year ago.
Green Bay has had three season-ending injuries at camp, but only one to a player in the top two spots of the depth chart -- offensive tackle Don Barclay.
The lack of injuries has given the Packer coaches the luxury of getting the team better-prepared for its regular season opener two weeks from tomorrow night at Seattle. At every public practice, the Packer offense works for 20 minutes inside the Don Hutson Center on various schemes they'll roll out against the Seahawks. That makes game-planning more precise than in previous training camps.
Quarterback Aaron Rodgers says the offense is more able to work on a variety of signals and changes for the pre-season, with an eye toward adjusting them in the regular season.
The Packers host Oakland in their third exhibition game on Friday night. The Green Bay starters are expected to go at least into the second quarter.

FOXBOROUGH — If Las Vegas had established odds that reserve running back Shane Vereen would touch the ball on the Patriots' first three offensive plays against the Jets last Sunday, anybody placing such a bet would have multiplied their money many times over.
Vereen came into the game with two carries on the season (1 total yard) and one reception (5 yards). His career numbers to that point (18 touches, 63 yards) were also unimpressive. Safe to say the Jets weren't exactly game-planning defensively for him.

A group of researchers has found that the Hawaiian Islands are dissolving and in danger of disappearing in the future. The study was published in the Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta and warns that the islands' mountains are dissolving from the inside because of groundwater erosion. This will eventually lead to the complete disappearance of the mountains while the entire area is in danger of being washed away.
"The Hawaiian Islands are known for their beautiful mountains, but there is an ongoing, hidden process that is slowly destroying them. Researchers have discovered that the mountains are dissolving from the inside. They studied Oahu and found that the groundwater is responsible for slowly eroding the mountains. Over time, they believe that the mountains will completely dissolve. They will disappear from the landscape, and all of Hawaii may be a distant memory in the future.
"Since the groundwater erosion is a natural phenomenon, there is little that can be done to stop it. The researchers did not provide any realistic methods to slow down the erosion or rebuild the mountains. In addition, the process is very slow. Although researchers urge that this needs to be studied more, they still believe that the islands can survive for 1.5 million years. They noted that the dissolving mountains are a bigger issue than the regular erosion of the land as it is destroying things at a quicker pace. Nevertheless, scientists do not expect for this to become a real issue for several centuries in Hawaii.
"Dissolving mountains may not be a real concern for 1.5 million years, but there are other aspects of the Hawaiian Islands that are more dangerous. The active volcanoes in Hawaii are often forgotten. In November, the Kilauea Volcano gave residents a reminder that it has not been dormant since 1983. Kilauea spewed lava into the ocean at a rapid rate, but this simply attracted more tourists to the area. An active volcano is capable of a lot more damage than slowly eroding mountains.
"The study published in the Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta was created as a warning of the future, and researchers are not concerned about Hawaii disappearing during their lifetimes. The estimated 1.5 million years may not seem significant, but the changes in the islands are slowly becoming visible. Nevertheless, real estate investors are not rushing to get rid of their properties in Hawaii, and no one is canceling vacations.

My new sewing area is still a work in progress and my biggest problem is how to best store and organize my fabric. Most of my fabric cuts are 1 yard or smaller. Previously I'd begun using the comic book board "mini bolt" method but I'm finding that cumbersome to maintain so I think I'll be switching to something else. I still love my Clip It Up system and will continue utilizing that for fat quarters and small leftover pieces. While I think the Comic Book Board mini-bolts work well I'm thinking I need to utilize the space on my shelving a bit better and make it easy to store fabric without having to wrap it...Read More »

You can see some of her great projects and the ones I worked on too. I was grabbing grommets in the upholstery section of JoAnns and stumbled upon this little footstool on clearance and snatched it up. I need something better for my feet at work and thought this would be a super fun project to use scraps of home dec fabric I have sitting in my bins. This was super fun! Start to finish I think it only took 30 minutes....Read More »
Big WIP Wednesday Update
Lots of updates in this post! I can see the end nearing of my big quilting studio move finally. New Pegboards Installed I work best under deadlines. Since the A/C guy has to have lots of stuff moved around the garage it forced me to finish my painting projects. I got the dresser finished and moved out and the pegboards were done on Monday. I managed to hang them by myself. If you want to get the details on my hardware and pegboard choices you can read this previous post. The new pegboards were painted using the same paint used on my dresser refurb. It took two coats. I removed all the thread and rulers from...Read More »
My First Furniture Refurb
This was an undertaking that I'm not sure I'll ever do again. At least with the handles that I chose. I think it turned out nice but those handles were a pain in the you-know-what. I've never tried installing cabinet handles before and these didn't come with a handy screw template so I had to kind of make my own. They look pretty good despite my difficulties. I had to even trim the screws to custom lengths for the top drawer since the ones packed with the handles weren't long enough. Imagine me with a hacksaw and needle nose pliers cursing away at a poor tiny screw. This was my childhood dresser that my parents bought...Read More »
Friday Misc. Roundup
I got a little bit of machine embroidery time last night after dinner to prep for my Tampa Modern Quilt Guild sew day on Saturday. First up is a lace edged heart from Big Dreams Embroidery. This will become my flag contribution for Flags for Boston that the Vancouver Modern Quilt Guild is organizing. They have some suggested guidelines. I'm keeping mine simple with just the heart as the centerpiece. I wish i'd used a contrasting thread for the lace edge but oh well, what's done is done. Isn't the dot fabric cute? The turquoise thread was part of my May Aurifil Thread Club shipment from The Quilt Bear! It fit perfectly with the fabric. I...Read More »
The Quilting Corner Moves
I've talked about wanting to move to a larger space in my house for a few months now. Since I'm mostly recovered from my respiratory illness I thought I'd try to tackle a good portion of the move today. I got way more done than I anticipated! I'd say I'm about 75% finished with the move. My sewing room was a 10×10 foot room with a small closet. I'm taking over my formal dining room and front "parlor" room which is an L-shaped space in the entryway of my home. I've got three large windows that face north and east so I get some really great light. There are also some nice shutters built in so...Read More »

Many avoided the Black Friday frenzy by getting into the true spirit of the holidays while other tasted spirits.
Screaming, pushing, and shoving of cranky people trying to squeeze through retail store doors, an all too familiar scene on Black Friday that shows America's dark side. However, in Harrisburg volunteers spent the day in Shipoke giving back.
One World Medicine Clinic setup a clothing drive at Front St. and Vine St. to assist typhoon victims in the Philippines. Stefania Alava brought several bags of clothing to donate.
"It'll brighten their holiday up really good," she said. "It's a great cause."
With the help of Pinnacle Health, One World raised $13,000 that will also head overseas this weekend. Even though Black Friday is a money-driven retail holiday, Alava said people should take a step back and realize what this time of year is really about.
"There are situations where we need to come together as a community and gather our stuff. And, everything is for a good cause," said Alava. "It's the holiday spirit of giving."
Not far away on Cameron St., others found a safe haven in the Appalachian Brewing Company. The brewery held a special promotion with Black Friday-themed food such as blackened chicken macaroni-and-cheese and the 'black-n-bleu' burger.
Guys like Bill Bauer felt it was better to sleep overnight instead of being in long lines.
"I can't imagine being out at midnight last night," he said. "I'm sure there were thousands of people to do that. That's not for me."
ABC also brewed a special craft beer aptly named the Black Friday IPA. Mike Parker came up with the idea and though discounts should come in the form of beer instead of bags.
"[Guys like me] I don't know if we're necessarily looking for a bargain we can carry around in a bag, but something we can poor into a pint that would really hit the spot," said Parker.
The $2.50 pint Friday will be around for a few more weeks at $5.50. Even though that may be a bargain on the biggest shopping day of the year, national economists argue the better deals come later in the season. While retailers stock up on in-store inventory, economists explain many stores are left with overstocked shelves that prompt better deals closer to Christmas.
So, while Bauer tried to skip out on the madness for sanity sake, he may wind up saving more money by enjoying a beer on Black Friday.
"I had enough this morning after about an hour. I had enough," he said. "So, let's go have one."

Here is where the urban planning nerd in me emerges — Christoph Gielen's bird's eye snaps of varied man-made sprawl has something entrancing about it, right? Whether you focus on the symmetry, asymmetry, or the homogenous nature of these structures, there is no denying that the artist has a point of view on land use and development. The German born, New York based photographer aims to trigger a reevaluation of our built environment, begging the question of what kind of development can be considered sustainable. This body of work depicts mostly Arizona, California, Nevada, and Florida — states who are very much in environmental situations that require exploring the subject.

My old addiction
After several excruciating years of waiting, we had finally gotten together and it was everything I'd ever dreamed it could be. Right off the bat, the electricity between us was filled with both complete understanding and raw sexual chemistry which became static on our tongues and fingertips.
For two marvelous months life was perfect and we wanted for nothing.
Those times however, were not meant to last. I was driving home one evening when I was rocked by a coughing fit so severe I had to pull over. I gripped the wheel with both of my hands as my chest continued to spasm and sent razor blades up my esophagus until blood sprayed my dashboard.
My old addiction finally came up to bite me in the ass and I was diagnosed with lung cancer. I'm a college student with no savings or insurance. The doctors haven't given me long.
I haven't been able to sleep much since then. I feel like I've got precious little time to waste on dreams, so I spend it watching as you do. At first I was so fucking angry with myself for happily killing myself this whole time and cutting our life together so short. I wasted an entire week in this state before I realized just how much time with you that was.
Now, I'm going to savor every single second until I run out. For some reason I know it's going to be okay, because at least I'll be facing it with you by my side. But, where does that leave you after I'm gone? You're the one who's really suffering here and I won't be able to comfort you for much longer.
I lay back down and blanket you in my arms. You nuzzle into my neck and smile. It makes me think about all the precious moments people take for granted, because they assume tomorrow is a promise.
Then I kiss your forehead and allow myself to dream.

The longest plastic toy train track made completely from LEGOs was awarded the Guinness World Record, coming in at precisely 4000.25 meters long. The massive build was no easy feat, taking more than 80 LEGO lovers to create the railway that features nearly 100,000 LEGO bricks. This huge build went down on May 10th-11th in Denmark and too about six hours to complete. When it was all said and done, the LEGO train was then set in motion and took practically four hours to travel from the beginning of the build to the end, where it received the world record award.
But all this was the idea of Henrik Ludvigsen, who came up with the idea for the build after noticing the number of rails he had in his own LEGO collection. So with the help of some ads in newspapers and on the web, he started to receive blue LEGO rails from across the globe to build his world record-setting creation. Henrik Ludvigsen previously held the record for the longest train track that was 1500.64 meters and was set in July of last year.

Essential Keys To A Pre-Op Biomechanical Evaluation
- Volume 25 - Issue 8 - August 2012
- 12760 reads
- 0 comments
Another biomechanical measurement to assess is the displacement of the calcaneal bisector relative to the lower leg bisector.11 One can do this with the patient standing or laying prone. The clinician moves the subtalar joint until the heel bisector is parallel to the lower leg bisector. Radiographic methods can also accomplish this.12
Measure the number of millimeters that the calcaneal bisector is medial or lateral to the leg. Normal should be 5 mm or less. The more lateral the calcaneal bisector is, the more that an eversion couple is set up for the subtalar joint to pronate when the patient places an axial load on the lower limb.
When it comes to the design of orthotics and shoes, it is desirable for the center of the shoe to be under the center of the leg. Once the heel gets more than 10 mm lateral to the leg, it is almost impossible to utilize an in-shoe orthotic to equalize the inversion-eversion moments.
For these cases, either a shoe has to have modifications to bring the center of the sole under the center of the leg or surgery has to bring the center of the calcaneus under the leg.13
What You Should Know About Examining The Subtalar Joint Axis
The plotting of the subtalar joint axis on the plantar foot is a very important part of the preoperative exam. I am fond of the following quote by Close:
"The position of this (subtalar joint) axis in the foot is thus of great importance in the study of the action of muscles whose tendons pass in relation to it. The problem of exactly where to place the insertion of a tendon to be transferred is solved by knowledge of the position of the axis and the state of other muscles passing it."14
The plotting of the subtalar joint axis should occur with the subtalar in the "forefoot flat position," which is defined as that subtalar joint position in which the forefoot is parallel to the ground when the midtarsal joint is fully pronated. The normal subtalar joint axis should lie lateral to the first metatarsal head.15 If it is medial, then any surgery should try to bring it more lateral or else the foot may still pronate to the end of its range of motion after surgery. One of the most effective procedures that moves the subtalar joint axis more laterally is the Evans osteotomy to lengthen the lateral side of the os calcis.
Evaluating The Forefoot To Rearfoot Relationship
Assessing the forefoot to rearfoot relationship also needs to be an important part of the pre-op evaluation.16 If the patient has a forefoot varus, one must address this in any surgery.17 Evaluate the forefoot with the subtalar joint in a position in which the calcaneus is perpendicular to the ground. While the traditional method of measuring has been with the patient supine and non-weightbearing, this may also occur with the patient standing.18
With the heel in the desired post-op position, if the first metatarsal is off the ground, the clinician should gently push down on the first metatarsal head to see if it can make contact with the ground. If it cannot, then the clinician must determine whether the patient has a true forefoot varus or a metatarsus primus elevatus. The recording of the forefoot to rearfoot relationship needs to be in the evaluation as well as the range of motion of the first metatarsal.

Recently, Kendra Scott 03 appeared on the Houston radio show, Delicious Mischief, (AM 740 KTRH) to explain why the new Texas artisan cheeses and wines have transformed the tried-and-true wine and cheese partyonce the domain of same-old-same-old cheddars and California Chablisinto a truly local affair.
Before her brush with radio celebrity, Scott graduated from Southwestern with French and studio art degrees. When I graduated from Southwestern, I set out to find a career, but knew that I might not settle on one for a few years. I chose to try on a few hats before settling on something, rather than go full steam ahead, with blinders on
Just two years after graduation, including a brief stint in graduate school, Scott hit upon the perfect pairing: she combined her background in French with her love of food and took a job as a cheese buyer.
Working as a buyer, Scott fine-tuned her palate with cheeses from all over the world. Interacting directly with farms and artisans became one of her favorite parts of the job, giving her insight into the craft of cheesemaking that she could then share with her clients.
In 2006, Scott moved to Houston and she and a partner launched the Houston Dairymaids, a business that sells artisan cheeses and specialty foods from Texas at local farmers markets. In 2007, under the headline, Texas Cheese Comes of Age, the Houston Chronicle dubbed Scott and her partner the Big Wheels of Cheese.
This summer, Scott began work as an independent cheese consultant, selecting and sourcing local cheese for Houston restaurants and wine bars, doing private catering, and leading cheese and wine tours along her well-worn buying routes in the Texas Hill Country. On the following pages, Scott shares some cheese-buying tips, insights, and favorites, wine pairings optional.
Mouse over the cheeses for more information.

Gameplay incoming!
Keira WIP. She's coming along quite smoothly so she'll be done shortly.
Beautiful work :) I'm working on some scenes in RPG Maker as we speak to test them out. I'll probably have it on my Twitch pretty soon.
In that case here's the proper PNG file for both of them.
Yeah, I meant to ask you about that. It's no problem though, I just resized them in ms paint.
Daxter complete, Keira next
Everything from his ears, to his tail, and his skinny body/neck look right on point. Awesome job :) gonna put together a short demo with the 2 sprites in arc engine later tonight.
Got a good portion of Daxter's sprite design. Any input or critiques for it? Also I'm glad the Jak sprite met your approval. ^w^
I absolutely approve. Couldn't see how it should be any other way than this. Awesome work so far!

Hmm…one hint…Remeiroku and Suizouroku onake events (that are supposed to take place after the main game ending) all had Okita alive and kicking…doesn't mean that he won't succumb to his disease in near future though
IF THIS IS TRUE THEN THAT'S FANTASTIC AND THEY SHOULD BE IMPORTED. But honestly I thought the fandisks were just extra scenes for the course of the game, not actually stuff about after the endings. (I mean that's what I got from my readings of Remeiroku reviews and stuff)

After a two-year hiatus, former University of Tulsa center Michael Ruffin is back in the NBA.
Ruffin signed with the Denver Nuggets Thursday. It's his seventh NBA team.
His signing comes two years after he last played in the league. Last year, he became a coach for the American Basketball Association's Colorado Kings, but returned to playing in late 2010 for Spain's Obradoiro CAB.
Ruffin played at TU from 1995 to 1999 and finished his career as the all-time leading rebounder in TU history. He led the Western Athletic Conference in rebounding as a senior in 1999 with 10.4 boards per game.
He was selected by the Chicago Bulls in the second round of the 1999 NBA Draft and would have an 11-year NBA career with the Bulls, 76ers, Jazz, Wizards, Bucks and Trail Blazers.
In 414 career regular season games, he has averaged 1.7 points and 3.9 rebounds per game.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
This is an interesting question, and I think, from the comments, we can see the wide variety of folks that have an interest, or have done something like this (and have less interest).
I started an ISP *way* back in the 90s, just two of us. I did the networks, hardware, kept it running, learned on the fly how to do all this - my partner did the business side of things. He was good at it, having owned a very successful bulletin board for a number of years prior. When we grew to the point where we needed help, it was on the support side, something I knew I didn't want to do. We interviewed and hired folks based on their ability to know what they were responding to. I pointed out that the folks that called them were a different breed now, than either my partner or myself had engaged before - these folks did not understand the technology they were using. To call us in frustration basically was admitting they were 'stupid' (as one put it) and that was a large part of their anger. To admit to us they were stupid and couldn't understand or fix their issue. The requirement I laid out for our support folks was to identify that, earnestly engage the person to defuse that, and show them that you were working together to fix and issue - remove the confrontational part, become partners. It's a very hard thing to do, day after day, and I, for one, *know* I cannot do that. I wouldn't want to do that. Problem solving, yes.
Later, I was hired away from my own company to work for Cisco Systems, in network security (a job I thoroughly enjoy), and met another sort of human problem - the ones that cause (intentionally or not) vulnerabilities. This, tempered with the corporate need to support 'profit to the shareholder' gave me a very different point of view on support. Again, I thought I wouldn't do well with it - risk assessments, investigations, forensics, all this was the fun part. The engagement with the entities that needes to still do their work, but needed to be more secure about it, became the very same support issue I had at my ISP. They were often very defensive and reluctant to engage - thinking, as one put it during a meeting for an acquistion, that I was the guy 'that says you can't do it the way you are used to'. This is how the meeting started. That was a surprise to me, as this wasn't my job, nor my intent - but gave me insight into what folks *thought* we were all about. I realized they didn't know who I was or what I did at all, and first I had to show them that I was the front end of a huge amount of resources that could be brought to bare on a secufirty issue to *make it work*, not a guy that just flat says you have to do it my way. Perspectives.
This is an interesting question here, because I've thought about what it would be like to work for Blizzard, both from a career point of view and from a potential that I'd be getting into something perhaps just as surprising as the previous two examples. Believe me I've done enough jobs to tell the blindsides will come, regardless. We become fixed in our ways, and industry moves right along.
I"ve done beta testing on hardware and software since long before I started my ISP - my tneacity at trying to wrest out a solution from a sticky problem is very strong. I enjoy the puzzle and solution cycle. I, from my networking side, am very good at documenting and stepping through a problem to try and get past the '20 questions' that precede the actual work on the problem. For me, that part would be very interesting working at Blizzard. I'm a gamer, yes, but not so avid or silly to think that a job at Blizzard would grant me work time to sit around and level up another character in Wrath. I, like my time at Cisco, or at CERT/cc, would probably have *less* time to particpate, in the game. Though, this is pure speculation.
Would I? In phone support - no. In the background, working on what has to be one of the cutting edge network environments in the world - in a heartbeat.

Vanessa Lachey has shared her own experience with the baby blues on her blog. Vanessa wrote...When week two of being home with Camden came — and the Lachey's house filled with family and friends all eager to meet baby had left — Vanessa's world slowly began to unravel."On Saturday September 29th, my baby blues finally got the best of me. I was in my maternity leggings, un-showered with throw up on my shirt, hives ALL over my body (another lovely post pregnancy perk I got) and a sweet, loving little boy who couldn't look at me and smile to make it all better. He was just too young. I started crying. I was feeding Camden and crying my eyes out. I felt like I had officially come undone. I imagined blissful days, tired nights, but quiet loving moments. I imagined family dinners with the 12 casseroles I prepared ahead of time, and a beautiful post-pregnancy glow that embodied me 24-7. But This was none of that. I didn't feel like myself. Where was the super woman who always thought and knew she could do it all? Where was the organized Vanessa who had it all under control no matter what the obstacle? She was gone, and I thought... forever.As I was crying, Nick took Camden, I got in my car, took a drive around the block, put my sunroof down and blared the radio. One Repulbic was on, Feel Again. I had never heard the song at the time, but loved how it made me feel. I went to Starbucks, came home, took a shower, put myself together and came upstairs to give my husband a kiss and tell him I was sorry…I was sorry for the weeks of losing myself. I was sorry for the weeks to come when I won't be myself, and I am sorry I can't do it ALL like I thought I could. And it made me feel so much better.For me, it was taking a minute to step away from the situation and truly appreciate the miracle of life and the blessing we have. We need to know that it's okay if we don't have that perfect post-pregnancy glow and the body to go with it that we thought we'd have. It's okay that sometimes our milk production is challenged and we aren't producing as much as we dreamed we would. It's okay if we can't do it ALL because…. we have already done so much!"For more on Vanessa's baby blues, read the blog here VanessaLachey.com.
I think as mums it is important to share these kind of stories. I love how open and honest Vanessa is being. We need to remember it is OK not to be perfect!

Thankfully I didn't suffer from postnatal depression, I was the opposite, high as a kite with happiness & like @jodiemaree I felt I had to do everything & I could for a little while. About 18 months down the track I couldn't stay awake, had put on about 20kg's to my already fat body & was struggling. Once I was diagnosed with a thyroid condition I perked back up (however haven't shifted that 20kg!!). I desperately want another baby but I'm well aware that my 'high' & ability to cope was a bit of a fluke & that for most people it's not like that. We'll wait & see.
I'm not sure that I was depressed - but I imagined things differently.
Throughout it all I didn't want help, I felt I needed to do everything on my own - which was the worst mistake. I think I allienated friends and family, and they never visited, so once hubby went back to work - it was me and the baby.
But we worked through it together, he's 3 now, and we have a great bond. But I had to accept my own failings, and realise that I didn't have to do it all.
I've since had a beautiful girl, and I was much more accomodating and happy this time - even though she was far more unsettled than her brother ever was - but they're only babies for such a sort time. You do need to reflect on that sometimes. For me, breastfeeding has meant I very rarely leave the kids, and usually have one of the two with me regardless - but I don't mind that part
