This one is not for the faint hearted and is recommended only for those with strong stomachs. It's one of our favorite red meat delicacies and we love to cook it with goat meat. Use of lamb and beef is also quite popular though. The Khada Masala (Whole Spices) used in this recipe is really hot.
The use of black cumin (shahi zeera) powder and coarsely ground whole coriander seeds, red chilies, black peppercorn added great flavor to it. To mellow the hotness of the recipe, quartered hard-boiled eggs can be used to garnish the recipe. A useful cooking technique we learned recently is that whenever using yogurt in curries, add it after removing the pan or pot from heat and return back to heat after mixing it well. This prevents the yogurt from getting curdled.
This dish was a little too hot for our daughter. It's advised that get a pizza or something else for the kids if you are really trying it. Serve it with butter naan but it will go great with any Indian bread. We served the leftovers with white rice the next day and it tasted even better with white rice. Somehow most of our meat curries always taste yummier the next day. Watch the video for the recipe and to see us cook this hot, eye-pleasing and colorful delicacy.

The Walnut Creek YMCA indoor triathlon is a great way to start a new training year. It's held in January, and is very friendly to new triathlon competitors. The event is a 400 yard swim, "10 mile" bike ride (spinning bike) and a 2 mile treadmill run.
Results 2014: swim bike run total
Results 2013: swim bike run total
The event planners try to coordinate speeds and put people with similar projected times together in one wave. You do share a lane with another participant. The swim was good for me, equating to around 1:34 per 100… slightly faster than last year although I had been swimming quite a bit less. I really held back on the first 100 and then started pushing the pace at 150 yards, finishing much stronger than the prior year.
Transitions are not counted in this event, and they require you to change clothes to protect the spin bikes from the pool water. They do ask you to keep moving between each event to keep people from having to wait on equipment, but there is plenty of time to get your heart rate down between each leg.
The bike did not go well for me this year. I learned from last year how to reset the bikes so your setup times are not counted in your bike time, and that "1 unit of distance" on a Keiser does not equate to 1 mile. Instead, it equates to 200 revolutions of the pedals. Based on last year, I had decided to target around 125 rpm, which would equate to 16 minutes. Through experience I've found that the Keiser spin bikes vary in terms of resistance / power output, at the same resistance level. Unfortunately the bike I happened to choose this year was creating significantly higher resistance at level 12 setting. Last year I averaged 254 watts normalized power and this year 274 watts (per my PowerCal), but ended up with a slower bike leg. In the end, it's a bit of the luck of the draw on the bike choice.
Again, I took a little time to get my HR down between bike and run. I changed shoes and walked around slowly.
With more focus on running this off season, I decided to push the pace harder on the run leg. I set the treadmill at 9.5 mph, and tried to hang on. Unfortunately the sufferfest began fairly quickly, and within a half mile I started backed off gradually ended up at 9.2 mph. As I got to 1.75 miles, I ramped back up to a 10 mph finish. I ended up taking a minute off my time from last year, and had the fastest run time in the event.
I ended up first in my age group and was the first overall male finisher this year. My daughter also did this event this year, and she really enjoyed it as well. It's a family friendly event, and a great place to try a triathlon.

High hopes for a newly planted garden
Rob and I loaded up on plants yesterday evening and planted our garden.
In the past, my garden has consisted of a couple tomato plants, a couple of peppers and some zucchini.
This year, we (OK, I) got carried away and bought 12 (!) tomato plants. What can I say? I love them. My mom knows how to can sauce and salsa, so if they go wild this summer, I may sweet talk her into coming over and helping. We bought some Early Girls, some Beefsteaks, a cherry tomato plant, a roma tomato and an heirloom variety that turns pink when it's ripe. I'm a little giddy just thinking of eating all those tomatoes.
We bought four jalapenos, four hot banana peppers, a couple of bell peppers, a four-pack of what we thought were Brussels sprouts – turns out we should have checked the tag, because they're cauliflower plants. And we bought some four-packs of Swiss chard and red lettuce, as my mom, a gardening expert, said it's too late to grow lettuce from seed. We also bought a zucchini plant and some pumpkin seeds.
We planted everything but the Brus..., er, califlower and zucchini last night. It was getting dark as I was watering the lettuces and Rob constructed a chicken-wire fence around the garden. I finished planting this morning.
We planted each plant with a little compost – this is my third summer in the house and the first time I've had any real compost to use. We also watered them a little and topped them with planters with the bottoms cut out, to protect them from the wind and the rabbits. (They've been known to get under the chicken-wire fence, those rascals.)
Rob will water them when he gets home from work today, and as he gets more time, will become the garden's main caretaker.
We've both struggled lately with feeling slightly helpless – there's so much in the world that we can't control. But planting the garden made us both feel pretty good. We can control making sure our little patch of earth is well-watered and weed free.
I'm looking forward to seeing its progress.

Drain services can cover a wide range of maintenance and repair needs; from household plumbing (clogged kitchen sinks, bathtubs and toilets), to storm drains and machinery. Household plumbing repairs are the most commonly recognized drain problems, but aside from that there are also some household appliances such as washing machines and dishwashers that may require such services, and they fall under machinery repair needs.
When it comes to the maintenance and repair of your home drainage system, it is always best to hire a professional drain service Toronto or what we commonly call hiring a plumber. Plumbing service is actually the most typical drain service. Plumbers are like doctors that are expected to be on-call 24/7. They are called whenever there is a clogged sink or toilet. Some people will just panic if there is no running water, the bathtub won't drain, the toilet won't flush or the worst that could happen there is a flood. That is why professional drain service Toronto providers are very important people.
Another essential drain service provided by professionals in Toronto is installation and maintenance of residential and commercial structures drain systems. These drainage services are important for effective and quick clearing out of rainwater; therefore they are necessary for homes with basements which require flood prevention measurements. Drain service in Toronto can also include litter, dirt and tree root removal from residential drain pipes. If these foreign objects are not removed, they have the tendency to get stuck and cause blockage that may eventually lead to basement flooding.
If you are ever in need of a professional drain service in Toronto, it is best if you can find one that has been well recommended. It is always reassuring to know that the person working in your home is someone who has been trusted by people you know. Professional drain services in Toronto will also provide the following services:
There are also some important factors to take into consideration when hiring drain service technicians in Toronto such as license and insurance. They should be courteous and treat you, your family, and your home with respect.

"The original idea here was to create a full-length work from songs composed and recorded in ONE DAY. Of coarse, I was not satisfied with some of the pieces until they could be refined in a real studio. Only the instrumental/experimental songs really conform to that requirement. There have not been any reviews of this I know of, but many people have told me this CD is their personal favorite, including singer/songwriter Jonathan Rundman. In some ways this CD better realizes the experiments on SKOW and also includes some nice pop "Gasoline" and progressive pop "Pictorial History of Stress". "Why Elephants Forget So Easily" and "Bluejays are Vampires" were pretty experimental and also well received (at least by a small circle of friends). You can also tell the moon dog, tell the march hare about "I88".

Take carbenes. Everybody likes a carbene--it's a lone pair on carbon, but it's formally neutral, and it does interesting reactions like alkene insertion (cyclopropanation), C-H insertion, rearrangements, and the like.
Carbenes are typically highly reactive and short-lived, though examples of persistent carbenes are now well-known. N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) make a prime example. The electron-rich di-adamantyl NHC shown above, for instance, was described in 1991 and can be crystallized (it melts, by the way, at 240 degrees Celsius).
Grubbs' second-generation catalyst, which bears an NHC in lieu of one of the phosphine ligands of the first-generation counterpart. Besides olefin metathesis, though, persistent carbenes (as NHCs) are quite useful ligands for tricky C-C cross-couplings. Specifically, the so-called Pd-PEPPSI complexes are useful for coupling of tetrahedral carbon centers to each other.
thiamin diphosphate (ThDP), which, if you didn't guess, is thiamin with diphosphate attached (it also goes by the name thiamin pyrophosphate, or TPP, which is definitely not confusing at all). ThDP is a coenzyme for pyruvate decarboxylate and pyruvate oxidase, among other enzymes.
short-lived carbene. A recent report in Nature Chemical Biology provides evidence for the latter. The authors examined thiamin diphosphate with the enzyme pyruvate oxidase (from bacterial origins). Phosphate was employed as a mimic of the substrate (pyruvate) that would bind similarly but not form a covalent adduct--this was to see if substrate binding might correspond with the formation of a carbene.
Via circular dichroism (CD), and X-ray diffraction, the authors give evidence that although the coenzyme is C-protonated in its resting state, binding of phosphate results in accumulation of either the carbanion/carbene form. This is narrowed down to the carbene chiefly through analysis of the XRD structure. Not only was the electron density consistent, but the bond lengths and angles were similar to synthetic thiazolium carbenes previously reported. The authors mention similar results upon analysis of the ThDP/cyclohexane-1,2-dione hydrolase complex.
Essentially, under physiologically relevant equilibrium conditions, the thiamine/enzyme complex can accumulate a carbene. In water. That's quite cool.

As far as I've been able to find, the only part of the book that's available for free online is page 30, which was copied and posted by Tweleve user astreeturover :
F_30.jpg Photo by astree0 | Photobucket
Obviously the material is copyrighted and the authors want to sell their books, so I'm not suggesting that anyone should post any more of the content. But maybe we can look at page 30 as a "free sample" and explore it here a bit. If this taste of Fandango gets some of us hooked, we may end up buying the full book.
So... looking at page 30 as a total newcomer, with no knowledge of the rest of the book, I'm first struck by the man's coat. That's not at all a natural shape for the lapels. And it's interesting that the plumb line goes straight down from one place where the green and blue meet to another place where the green and blue meet.
If the puzzle involves a map, I would have to assume that the green represents land and the blue with the white tufts represents the ocean and the whitecaps. We should be looking for a place where the shoreline matches that pattern. BUT the compass on the table is rotated and reflected. If that compass applies to the shoreline shown in the lapel, it means that we're looking for a place where the shore runs more or less in a straight line east-to-west with the ocean to the north. That's a very hard thing to find on MDI because the processes that formed the island carved out all the gullies and ridges in a north-south direction.
Of course, it could be that I'm wrong about the ocean. Do ponds on MDI get choppy in high winds? If the blue represents a pond, it would tie in better with the map on the table. Maybe the green represents undeveloped land, the blue lapel is a pond, and the red is a road. So we're looking for a road that runs east-west on the north side of a pond. That fits in better with the map, but it still leaves us with the topography problem that most long, narrow ponds on the island run north-south.
What do people think?

G&T with a side of taxidermy? Picso Sours in a hot tub? We salute seven of the capital's weirdly wonderful drinking establishments
Local boozers, dark dive bars, chichi gastropubs and (yes, sometimes) even chain bars, all have a place in our hearts, but there's no denying the undeniably glamorous thrill to be had in an expertly concocted cocktail. London's cocktail bars are as varied as they are lethal, but with supposedly difficult to find speakeasy-style bars now, ironically, ubiquitous we've chosen seven spots that promise you something a little different, from the sublime to the beautifully ridiculous.
Ladies and Gentlemen
Admittedly many a decadent night has ended in the loos, but one of the latest additions to Kentish Town's burgeoning bar scene is making them the main event. The creation of Kentish Towner (and owner of Vestal Vodka) William Borrell, Ladies and Gentlemen is located in a refurbished public toilets on a not particularly noteworthy corner opposite the Forum. Downstairs, some of the white tiling and the cisterns on the wall are the only evidence of the bar's past life; today find a cosily-chic space decorated with retro and salvaged items, plus live music, and a brilliant seasonal menu. Extra points for the locally sourced ingredients, including the bar's bespoke Highwayman Gin.
The Booking Office
Once upon a time drinks at a train station meant only one thing: gin in a tin. The bar at the renovated St Pancras Renaissance Hotel, however, has taken the station bar into distinctly first class territory. Sir George Gilbert Scott's Victorian Gothic architecture sets the spectacular scene for The Booking Office, found in the former ticket hall of St Pancras station. Among the vaulted archways, arched windows, and sweeping cathedral-like proportions, choose from a bespoke menu of cocktails and Victorian-era punches.
For sheer grandeur and bygone era elegance with that irresistible romance of fleeting moments thrown into the mix (blame it on the arrivals and departures thing, blame it on the hotel bar, blame it on the cocktails), the Booking Office can't be beaten.
The Viktor Wynd Museum of Curiosities
If you like your bars sleek and minimal, then look away now. If, however, you're looking for a spot to kick back in that's the antithesis of Ikea-approved Good Taste then Hackney's Viktor Wynd Museum of Curiosities is the place for you. The museum is stuffed full of absurd, uncategorisable, eclectic oddities from across the globe – from Happy Meal toys to dodo bones, living coral to two-headed kittens.
Amongst all this gloriously chaotic clutter, find the bar and café, which is unlike any museum restaurant you've ever been to before. Take a Gone With The Wynd or a Zombie – both with absinthe – to really roll with this exquisitely strange experience.
The perennially popular Frank's Café is the reason Londoners have been indulging in an annual summertime fling with a Peckham multi-storey car park. Perched on the 10th floor, the unassuming location's roof transforms into a bar-slash-art space (part of the non-profit commissioning art project Bold Tendencies, this year's commission – swirling aluminium lines on the floor – comes from Richard Wentworth) each summer, with a hip crowd, slightly chaotic festival-vibe, and a well stocked Campari bar all part of the charm. And, as a thousand Instagram snaps will testify, the views over London are picture-perfect. If there's a better way to spend a summer evening than getting slowly sloshed on Negronis watching the sun set over the city, then we're struggling to think of it.
Founded in 1798 London's oldest restaurant, Rules, is a veritable institution, so it's somewhat surprising that the upstairs cocktail bar remains a relatively well-kept secret. The décor is delightfully and determinedly old fashioned – all latticed windows, patterned carpets, and dark wood – with a classic-with-a-twist cocktail menu to match. Gimmicky purees and infusions are out; Bloody Marys, Gimlets and stirred Martinis are in. And if you like your cocktails served with a frisson of clandestine goings-on (and really, that's the best way to take them), Rules has that covered too; Edward VII used to entertain his mistress Lillie Langtry in what is now the bar. Saucy.
The Owls Are Not What They Seem
Fans of David Lynch can this month throw themselves into the weird world of Twin Peaks. The cult 90s TV show provides the fodder for an immersive dining experience entitled, The Owls are Not What They Seem, hosted by innovative events company Lemonade and Laughing Gas and experimental foodies Blanch & Shock. Opening later this month, details are scarce (even the location is top secret), but expect something seriously surreal – and we'll assume, a slice of cherry pie. Choose from a full dining ticket, or drinking den-only entry, which promises bespoke cocktails and "A quick pit-stop at a road side bar, with potential to turn into a full on mind-bending, backwards-talking experience…" Open 27th August – 17th October.
Supper Tub
Cocktails in a hot tub might sound very Miami, but new pop-up venture Supper Tub (see what they did there?) is bringing the experience to the banks of the Hackney Wick canal. Until the end of September 2015, feast on Peruvian ceviche and Pisco Sours from the comfort of a steaming, wood-fired canal-side hot tub. Each tub seats eight, and you can buy individual spots or book the whole thing if you're feeling decadent.

Bob Bogash of Seattle's Museum of Flight updates the rebirth of the ex-TCA (Trans Canada Airlines) Constellation Super "G" that spent so many years rotting away near Pearson Airport outside Toronto.
I've posted a few times on the back and forth struggle that resulted in the airplane leaving Canada (that's how Bob and I started our correspondance). Managed to get some photos as she was being dismantled
She looks a lot more beautiful now.

The Ouija board is one of the most controversial inventions of all time – it has bitterly divided spiritualists and sceptics since its introduction in the late nineteenth century. If asked, the vast majority of people will admit to feeling very uneasy about the use of Ouija boards for spiritual or paranormal purposes. This seems to be the case whether an individual is particularly superstitious or not, so what is it about the Ouija board that frightens us so much?
After all, a person who is staunchly against the use of Ouija boards might visit a medium and ask them for contact with a deceased friend or relative. There are plenty of people out there who spend long nights alone in haunted buildings or take pictures of ghosts, but many of them wouldn't be comfortable using a Ouija board to speak to the dead. What's the real difference and why is it so important to spiritualists and paranormal experts?
There is a very good reason why the debate around Ouija boards has raged for so long – the product was originally invented to be used as a children's toy. In 1890, businessman Elijah Bond introduced and advertised it as a harmless parlour game. It wasn't until the outbreak of World War One that the Ouija board began to be associated with the spiritualist movement. This is the main reason why the Ouija board is routinely mocked by sceptics and self proclaimed debunkers.
Nothing But Fun And Games?
If you do believe in ghosts, you don't automatically have to believe in the assumed danger of Ouija boards – it isn't some sort of spiritualist requirement. There are lots of believers out there who scoff at the notion that the board itself that is dangerous. After all, it is just a piece of wood or plastic that was originally designed to be used as a toy. How can the board itself be dangerous in any way? It is the action that can be harmful, it is the intention that holds the threat.
It is endlessly strange to think that anybody would invent a children's toy designed to facilitate contact with the dead anyway. How and why did the inimitable Elijah Bond decide that this was a good idea? Why didn't anybody step in and say 'Hey Bond-ers, what the hell are you bloody thinking?' Then again, this is the same man who later went on to establish The Swastika Novelty Company - you can't really excuse him of having an overabundance of good taste.
Yet, it is important to realise that the Ouija board does have earlier origins. It is very similar to the methods of automatic writing that were regularly used as early as 1100AD in places like China, India, Greece and Rome. In China, the practice was known as fuji – it involved the use of a planchette to facilitate contact with spirits. This contact was only ever made under the strictest supervision. After 1644, it was officially outlawed by the Qing Dynasty.
Are You Sitting Comfortably?
Once again, it is the intention that holds the threat. Whilst it can sometimes be difficult to understand the fervent criticism that surrounds the use of Ouija boards, it is clear that it has been treated as a very serious matter everywhere but the modern western world. A Ouija board is designed to act as a conduit for very serious and potentially very powerful forces. Like all things, it is very easily abused and this makes it similarly easy for controversy to be kicked up when things don't go as expected.
There is no recorded proof of a Ouija board directly causing serious injury or death. This does not, of course, mean that it has never happened. If you're going to treat paranormal contact as a parlour game, do you have any real right to complain when you eventually get a fright? After all, if there are spiritual forces at work, do you really think that they're going to be restricted to a piece of plastic?

Web-Letter, Issue 32 Inca Alpaca Fair Isle Mitts
Small projects bring big pleasures. They can be completed quickly, gauge is often not a dire consideration, you can work them up in leftover yarns that you have right next to you in a basket, and they are almost always wearable. Small projects also offer a chance to try out different techniques and yarns that we might not otherwise have an excuse to try.
Robin Melanson's book Knitting New Mittens and Gloves (recently published by STC Craft) offers a delightful collection of gloves, mittens, fingerless mitts, and arm warmers that go way beyond the usual fare. Keep reading to learn more about Robin's book.
As a warm up to the patterns in her book, you might want to make Robin's Fair Isle mitts, pictured here, that she made for us in CEY Inca Alpaca.
The Story:
Robin Melanson grew up in Cape Breton, on Canada's Atlantic coast, so it isn't surprising that she appreciates a good pair of gloves or mittens. As you might expect, all the designs in this book are practicalthey'll keep your hands warm. But they are also imaginative, whimsical, arty, and beautiful. It's worth looking at the book just to see the 28 ways that Robin played with the basic idea of a hand covering to come up with a collection as varied, interesting, and wearable as this one.
Among the patterns that rank as my favorites are these:
Glaistiga short pair of fingerless mitts in a vintage lace pattern finished with a picot edge at one end and a knitted strap with a yarn-covered buckle at the other. These mitts remind me, in a good way, of something my aunt would have knitted when she was a young woman (my aunt used to knit dresses on size 2 needles…). This particular pair of mitts is knitted side to side, instead of from wrist to fingers.
Filigreea pair of long fingerless mitts in a modern openwork pattern that looks more knotted than knitted. The mitts come in two lengths and would be wonderful in just about any color.
Alesunda pair of pointed Fair Isle mittens that have their roots in Norwegian history, although the Art Nouveau motif on the front and the rich colorway (dusky rose and deep wine-red, punctuated with a bit of acid yellow duplicate stitch) are unusual and a bit gothic.
Brunnhildea stunning pair of long white gloves in a soft, hazy yarn with twist-stitch patterns placed to follow the lines of the long cuff. These gloves are elegant and sumptuous.
I'd also love to knit a pair of thrummed mittens (with warm fleece inside), the flip-top mittens, the wristlets paired with an assortment of detachable bracelets, and--who could live without them--a pair of elfin mittens called Aethelwyne that begin with a subtly fluted cuff and end in a tip as pointy as an elfin cap.
If you want a comfort-knitting project, she has a pair of garter stitch mitts to offer, or if you're in the mood for something glamorous and a bit challenging, make her beaded mitts. I don't think there's a single pair in her collections that I wouldn't want to make.
If you like gloves and mittens, you'll love Robin's bookas inspiration and a guide to hand covering possibilities. While you're waiting for your book to arrive, try out Robin's Inca Alpaca Fair Isle Mitts; they are fun, elegant, practical, and sometimes glamorous. In their playfulness they go way beyond the usual hand coverings.
The Yarn:
Inca Alpaca 100% alpaca
Inca Alpaca is a wonderful choice for these hand coverings. It is soft, sturdy and very warm even when wet. The great color range of Inca also allows for many fantastic color combinations for use in Fair Isle designs.
Here are some examples of other color options:
For more neutral mitts:
Color A: 1189;
Color B: 1110;
Color C: 1142
For mitts with a purple haze:
Color A: 1131;
Color B: 1142;
Color C: 1108
Or, for brighter mitts:
Color A: 1125;
Color B: 1183;
Color C: 1159

The Pattern:
Here's the free downloadable Inca Alpaca Fair Isle Mitts pattern
The Stitches:
The thumbs of Robin's mitts are worked by increasing one stitch for the center thumb stitch and placing markers around it, then increasing 2 sts at time inside those markers. The increases are worked every other row with the first increase as a right slanting increase and the second as a left slanting increase. This forms the triangular shaping of the thumb. When the thumb reaches the desired length, the increased sts of the thumb gusset are put on a holder or waste yarn.
The mitts are then worked over the original number of sts, reconnecting the mitt to close the thumb gusset. Make sure to pull yarn tightly to fully close the opening. When the body of the mitts are finished, Robin then puts the thumb sts back on needles, picks up one st to help further close the opening between the body and thumb and works the thumb a few rows longer.

Judy at Apropos, my alterationist over the last 20 years has also become a support and friend in my busy life in Boulder. My visits to her for alterations and even the creation of a wedding dress for one of my daughters is always a pleasure, and she has never once disappointed or created problems. Due to my proportions I almost always have to have clothes fitted or altered, and Judy is a person I can trust to make my outfits feel and look just right.Farida S.5.0 Star Rating, Yelp, 7/6/2014
I've had several things altered here and a positive experience with all. The first time I had jeans with a broken zipper. Judy tried to fix the zipper for almost 15 minutes before declaring that it needed to be replaced. I appreciated that. Second, a dress. A simple slit in the back to keep it from bunching. Third, hemmed some jeans. I forgot the right shoes so they were hemmed too short the first time. I brought them back with the shoes and she fixed it for next to nothing.Alexandra O.Google User, 2011
Excellent service, fine quality work.
For 15 years I have used Apropos for minor and major repairs. Judy has always been fair, helpful, thorough and on time. I wouldn't think of going any where else. moreGoogle User9/21/2011
While this place might be a little high in terms of cost, the quality of work is worth it. I had a full length gown overhauled to fit me and it was perfect when it was finished. I have had so many experiences with other seamstresses where a dress is altered and it never fits quite right. You won't have that experience here.Google User2010
Sometimes you need more than just a simple alteration done. If you need to have a full dress, casual or formal, tailor made from scratch for just that perfect occasion, this is definitely the shop to go to. They can handle almost any kind of order on a rush basis as well to help pull off any dress emergency.Google User8/21/2005

Hi Alison here is my question.. I'm 26 and have noticed more and more In the past few months that the way I sleep is causing wrinkles on my chest, from when I wake up they are quite visible and throughout the day they disappear but there are still a faint lines by the end of the day! Wanted some advice on what products to use to help stop causing wrinkles? I have tried sleeping on my back (which is not as comfy!) and already use elemis and gatineau but starting to panic that if I have these now what will I be like when older!? Thanks
There are many products on the market that play on what can be an emotionally upsetting and distressing issue – that of hair loss, thinning and weakness. What is reassuring about our Hairfix Follicle + is that it is certainly not expensive by competitive standards and also comes with the reassurance of a 90 day money-back guarantee from QVC.
I can't guarantee it will work for everyone and it certainly won't cure male pattern baldness, but there are so many hair and scalp concerns that we may all experience during different times in our lives, that it can and has worked on. Hairfix Follicle + was developed by a team that includes trichologists and hairdressers so it is a fusion of what technically the scalp and hair bulb needs, with the combined effect of strengthening any weak areas or baby hairs helping them to survive styling.
Hair thinning and hair loss has become an increasingly common problem. Of course men have always worried about hair loss, which this may help slow down, by promoting what hair is still there, to be stimulated and thicker, with less breakage – as long as there is hair still in the area, even if it is thinner and weaker than it used to be.
Female hair loss or thinning and breakage used to only be associated with hormonal change and illness (illness can also affect male hair density too). This can be helped by Hairfix Follicle + as long as the underlying medical condition has stabilised or gone. I would always recommend if you have experienced serious changes in your hair, like loss and shedding, and especially if your hairdresser comments, that it's worth checking with your doctor for any underlying cause.
In recent years there have also been two other major causes of hair weakening; firstly stress, lifestyle and erratic eating and sleeping habits have caused a decrease in the quality of hair growth and strength. Remember hair is a health indicator with the root of the hair being fed with nutrients from our blood. During times of being run down, it really can suffer with increased breakage, slow growth and thinning areas, loss of density and even more hair shedding being noticed in the shower or in your brush, Hairfix Follicle + can treat this.
The final modern day problem is increased hair colour and styling methods that can sensitise the scalp and dry or tear the hair, resulting in poor condition hair which will break more easily. This could also include the tension of braiding, bonded extensions and the tight pony tail or constant up dos. Hairfix Follicle + would only help here if you had experienced breakage or weakening close to the root.
Otherwise in this situation your hair needs to be treated down the hair length and ends and will respond better to the Hairfix recovery system before colouring, then continual use of rich and luxurious hair treatments like Philip Kingsley's Elasticizer, Silk Oil of Morocco and Taya and with the rich shampoos and conditioners of our hair brands, an essential would be a serum or oil application before combing and styling.
Application is key to results and the most crucial thing is that once applied the product must stay on the scalp for several hours to be absorbed down and into the follicle, skin and the breakages of the first inch of weakened hair. For this reason it is normally put on at night and then hair washed the following morning.
However it is not necessary to wash hair, and if your hair feels ok after application and you can comb through it then only wash as usual when your hair needs it. This will be especially helpful to textured or drier hair that does not normally get washed daily. You can continue to style your hair as normal with styling products, however adjust your styling if that is what is causing the weakness and breakages such as the tension of extensions, weaves, braids, ponytails etc as these will continue to break your hair.
Results can vary quite dramatically for two reasons. Firstly everyone's cause can be different, and secondly we all have different hair growth cycles, texture, optimum length etc. However, both men and women should notice a denser feeling and look to the hair at the scalp and first inch, within a few weeks. From 60 days plus, a short new hair growing from the scalp area may look fuzzy or stick up, as in the past this is the hair that has been broken off and Hairfix Follicle + is keeping it strong enough to grow. After 3 – 4 months the length and weight will start blending in with the rest of your hair.
Check out the full range from Hairfix.

NTFS, Pmount, Partview, rc.shutdown, 10alsa fixes
January 03, 2012 — BarryKIn the Racy 5.2.2 Forum feedback thread, member otropogo reported error messages when copying files to/from an NTFS partition. Member shinobar replied that this is due to file permissions being lost in the transfer and the file is still copied ok. Shinobar showed a fix for /bin/mount to remove the error messages:
...I have implemented shinobar's fix in Woof. Note that older versions of ntfs-3g do not have this problem, which is why it has occurred in recent puppies.
Forum member otropogo reported that the 'preferences' in Pmount is broken:
I have fixed /usr/sbin/pmount. In the case of 'mut2', this is an alternative to 'probepart' and 'probedisk' that was developed by Jesse Liley. If missing, the preferences window now puts up text that the 'mut2' package is required.
mut2 has not been developed for a long time, and I don't know how well it works. It is not included in Puppy anymore.
otropogo also wrote this, after failing to get F-Prot working:
So then I tried to install clamav, which I've read Barry prefers to the "broken" f-prot. There's only one package in the repos clamav-0.91.2.pet, in the Puppy 3 repository. I installed it "successfully", but no tab or icon for it appears anywhere, and I have no idea how to access it to run it or update its sigs file.
Incorrect, I recommended Avast, for which there is a PET package for Wary/Racy:
Karl Godt reported a problem with the 'sort' utility in Partview:
...I have modified the Partview package, it is now 'partview-2.2-1.pet', in the 'noarch' repo.
...I should have read further down the thread, Karl determined the problem to be something else and posted a patch. I don't really know what problem is being fixed, anyway I have applied the patch. Rather, patch failed, did it manually.
In same thread link above, Karl Godt reported a bug in /etc/rc.d/rc.shutdown, unmounting stray partitions. Fixed.
In same link, Karl Godt posted a fix for unloading sound modules, in /etc/init.d/10alsa. Applied. Actually, patch failed, did it manually.

Cryer's Cross
Lisa McMann
Simon & Schuster 2010
Kendall, a OCD infected 16 yr old has a regular life in the small town of Cryer's Cross. She lives her life comfortably until a sudden disappearance of a freshman leaves this small town shocked. But as time passes, everyone continues with their lives. Then a second student goes missing, and this time it's some one Kendall actually cares about. Kendall's OCD infested brain is rattled with shock and anxiety as she tries to find out what just happened to her loved one. and as she does, she digs deeper into the towns history, until finding out the most bizarre secret of them all. A very good book, suspenseful, terrifying, and romantic all at once. The wonderful build to the climax drags the reader to continue untill the end: and the book ends with a satisfying ending.

Do not let Agni V's shock and awe endanger Asian stability May 3, 2012Posted by nishankmotwani in : India, Sullivan, Kate , trackback
Kate Sullivan
India outed its nuclear bomb and yet remained the land of Gandhi. The same message of peace and power should follow the launch of its first ICBM.
With the successful Agni V test on Thursday, India appears to be aiming for status as much as security. Yet without credible reassurances, the by-product of this quest for prestige could be an increasingly insecure region.
Peaceful intentions
As so often in the past, India faces the challenge of reconciling its quest for military and nuclear status with the need to persuade the international community of its peaceful intentions. That India has the experience, skill and track record to do so is without doubt.
For decades, India's nuclear policy and discourse have been built on a curious mix of hard power and principle. The 1974 test was dubbed a "Peaceful Nuclear Explosion," and successive governments opted to refrain from overtly developing a nuclear weapon capability. Following the nuclear tests of 1998, Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee stressed that the tests and India's future nuclear policy would "continue to reflect a commitment to the sensibilities and obligations of an ancient civilization, a sense of responsibility and restraint."
India's nuclear tests were a means of establishing India's international status and prestige. Yet refreshingly, they were not simply an act of conformity to the dominant might-is-right maxim of the international system.
A synthesis was formed with an enduring set of principled foreign policy values. In the wake of the tests, India stressed its peaceful intentions, announced a voluntary moratorium on further testing, limited itself to a minimum credible deterrent, and later pledged a no-first-use policy.
China reacts
These measures meant that India's tests were an enhancement rather than a negation of an essentially peaceable but unquestionably powerful Indian civilizational self. The clearest evidence for this is that India's gradual build-up of military and nuclear capabilities from the 1970s onwards have not resulted in new policies based on the use of force.
In a predictable echo of the nuclear tests of 1998, the launch of Agni V, India's first intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM), was a moment of national pride. It met with jubilation from Indian defence officials and the Indian media. So far, the near-unanimous hype has centred on India's scientific achievements and new ranking among only a fistful of other states with ICBM capabilities. But little effort has been made to quell the fears about the dangers the launch poses to an Asia on the brink of an arms race.
The official line of the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) has been that Agni V "is not any country-specific." Official commentary on the test has had little else to say about India's intentions or the actual purpose, use and deployment of the missile.
Reading between the lines, many have inferred that strategic Chinese cities are potential targets within the extended range of Agni V. While Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Liu Weimin evenly declared that India and China were "not competitors but partners," China's influential tabloid, The Global Times, ominously declared that "India should not overestimate its strength" and would not profit "from being arrogant during disputes with China."
History suggests that an ill-judged, even if unintentional, provocation of China could spell disaster for the region. India and China's battle for status in Asia in the 1950s and 1960s ended catastrophically for India in the 1962 border war.
The nuclear issue
Since 1998, the nuclear bomb has been a symbol of India's power and prestige, but the nuclear domain has always stood as a site within which India's unique moral judgment could be applied and exhibited. Dominant thinking in international relations finds it hard to reconcile the two trends, and many have scratched their heads in puzzlement over the incongruity of India's peaceful intentions and hard power hype, or the juxtaposition of "the land of Gandhi" and the bomb.
Yet in practice, if not in theory, the international community has accepted India's nuclear ambivalence. The credibility of Indian claims to nuclear restraint and responsibility contributed without doubt to the exceptional civil nuclear trading rights India received, outside the bounds of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), through the India-U.S. civil nuclear agreement.
The launch of Agni V has yet to be tempered with the usual reassurances of India's peaceful intentions towards the Asian region and the world. Without this string to India's ICBM bow, the diplomatic resource of 65 years of nuclear restraint that makes India stand apart will weaken.
India's traditional status-seeking policy of nuclear restraint need not jar with its desire to shine in the eyes of the global nuclear elite. Back in 1952, G.S. Bajpai, a pioneer of the Indian Foreign Service and one of India's first "realists," reconciled the two positions in his writings. He claimed that the acquisition of material power need not eclipse India's moral pre-eminence, and that power was indeed essential for moral projection.
With new declarations of strength must come new reassurances. Public statements from the highest level that explicitly reiterate India's abiding policy of nuclear restraint would go some way towards allaying international fears. An official review of India's 2003 nuclear doctrine and incorporation of guidelines on its ICBM capabilities would go even further. Whether Agni V will push India to new international heights or simply place it in regional danger, will depend on how quickly and credibly India restates its peaceful intent.

Nicky Schrire & Jeri Silverman
Jeri Silverman:
Jeri Silverman is a South African born singer-songwriter based in NYC. She writes acoustic soul-stirring melodies with a percussive folk pop edge. A lyric craftsmith, her churning vocals produce a sound that is poetic and captivating. Her debut EP Leaflike, released in 2014 – "a minor masterpiece in miniature" (indiemunity) – received wide critical acclaim. She has performed live across the US and South Africa and has lent her skills as an actor, VO artist and singer to numerous films, documentaries and international commercials. Her forthcoming album is a collection of inspired songs written over the past 3 years, exploring the interplay between darkness and light.
"her cracking mix of surefooted pop instincts with a strong songwriting aesthetic. It helps her efforts immensely that she's a technically gifted singer with the rare ability to utilize technique in a way that enhances emotiveness….one of the year's best releases so far." (GasHouse Radio)
"Jeri Silverman is one of the most promising singer/songwriters rising through the indie ranks today" (AllWhatsRock)\
"This is a performer with songs that won't waste your time…the talent here burns so bright that missing it would be a shame." (Music Existence)
Nicky Schrire:
Nicky Schrire is a versatile and inventive vocalist and composer whose work has earned her comparisons to artists like Joni Mitchell, Tori Amos, and Esperanza Spalding. She has performed in New York, Los Angeles, Boston, London, Dublin and South Africa, with musicians ranging from Arno Carstens, Sibongile Khumalo, and Card On Spokes, to Grammy-nominated pianists Gerald Clayton and Gil Goldstein.
Her work with cellist Ariella Caira (founding member of Sterling EQ, Alice Phoebe Lou, Jeremy Loops) has seen the duo double-bill with Beatenberg frontman Matthew Field, and perform at the Cape Town Folk and Acoustic Music Festival, and the Milk & Honey Festival.
"Wonderful….an acute eye for observation of the small details." — Alex Gallagher, Folk Radio (UK)
"A remarkable talent… Her voice is a bell, a curve of pliant sound, a personality, a vessel for great songs." — PopMatters (USA) "While [Schrire's] esthetic may be free and unbounded, her music is anything but casual." — Ottawa Citizen (Canada) "A number of the more and most intelligent female vocalists come to mind-Tori Amos, Joan Baez, Joni Mitchell, etc. – in Schrire's work." — FAME (USA)

bergen part two7/13/2012
After enjoying our stroll through the city, it was time to hop on a local bus with confusing language, and attempt to reach a lovely estate on a quaint hill. It's called Damsgård Manor and it was built in the 1700s during the Rococo, mostly out of wood. It's such a well-kept secret that Donald and I were the only ones there for a tour of the interior, which I sadly could not photograph (perhaps it would disintegrate hah). We learned a lot about Norwegian life in those days, which was surprisingly difficult and saw some wonderfully ornate rooms with elaborate wallpaper. That, with the combination of having an ocean-view the entire time, made me feel quite fortuitous!
Here is a glimpse of "the Gentleman's garden" which was made with the sole purpose of pleasing the senses. There were also plenty of practical vegetables incorporated, as well as Jasmine flowers that smelled immaculate, and a refreshing mint plant that I got to taste. One could easily become accustomed to this way of life!
Before we left, I took one last long and piercing look at the hillside homes. It's impossible to capture the warmth that I felt, from finally seeing something which I had imagined for nearly a decade, and to discover how picturesque it really was. I listened to one of my favorite albums since I was thirteen called, Quiet is the New Loud, as we sailed away towards the Fjords. I'll always remember it fondly

This place is so beautiful! It looks like where I would expect a fairy tale to take place!ReplyDeleteReplies
Hehe it probably could! :)Delete
The house & setting look quite English I think. Stunning, it looks so peaceful.ReplyDeleteReplies
It rains a lot in Bergen so perhaps the greenery looks similar, but Norway is certainly unlike any other place (as witnessed in the Fjords oh dear!). I visited a garden in London and it looked French to me, so they likely all inspire each other :)Delete
I really knew nothing about Bergen before you visited there and posted these photos, but it looks so lovely! I think I'll have to add it to my mental list of places to see.ReplyDeleteReplies
You should! It smells amazing and the overlook views are really unrivaled, it is such a unique place!Delete
Bergen is one of my favorite cities. It's really beautiful.ReplyDeleteReplies
You're so lucky to live in Norway and get to see it more often than me in L.A :)Delete
That garden (with those flowers) looks magical and like the perfect place for a cup of tea, a good book and a cat on a lap!ReplyDelete
I love the way the roofs and colours of the buildings look- tucked into the trees :)Replies
I loved that in Bergen tall buildings weren't the main focus, but instead the regular homes on the hills were. It made it feel like such an inviting place to live, where you can appreciate your neighbors homes in a non-showy way! xDelete
This house looks so gorgeous - definitely my dream house. Look at that garden! (and I don't even like gardens). I love all the little houses on the hillside, it's such a romantic and picturesque scene.ReplyDeleteReplies
You don't like gardens? That's blasphemy hehe! I'm not used to nice gardens since I've lived in apartments for ages, so it's a novelty to me. It was certainly a unique place because everything was wooden and it made all sorts of sounds as you walked around :)Delete
This sounds so beautiful and I adore the pictures you were able to take.ReplyDelete
Thanks for sharing and I'm glad it lived up to your expectations.Replies
Thanks Becky, it was nice that it was just like I imagined it. I've visited some places (ahem, rome) that are probably the opposite and that's no fun!Delete
I've been in Norway many years ago but I'll never forget the smell of the woods and the particular and transparent air. And the houses and the water that grasp hold of the sight.ReplyDelete
Love your photos*Replies
Oh I agree! The combination of little homes, water and mountaintops makes it quite unforgettable xDelete
These photos are amazing! Bergen looks perfect.ReplyDelete
May I ask, which photo-editing program do you use?
Thank you Fay, most of these were taken with my Leica minilux using Fujipro film so they look that way naturally. For the photo with bokeh, I use an app called "pictureshow". Iphone apps are very helpful for editing photos! xDelete
These photos are so beaufitul! Bergen looks perfect.ReplyDelete
May I ask, which editing program do you use?
i got small goosebumps at your last paragraph haha that was such a romantic thought. it really is such a picturesque town, imagine getting to live there and being surrounded by something like that every day. gorgeous.ReplyDeleteReplies
Aw that's sweet and I agree that they are so lucky! Too bad it rains there and gets too cold for me in the winter. California has spoiled me haha xDelete
What a lovely post. Those flowers look so beautiful! That's kinda cool that you and Donald were the only ones on the tour - how special! And I love that Kings of Convenience song, it goes so well with your nostalgic post xReplyDeleteReplies
Merci Emily! It was kind of funny being the only ones on the tour because we had the nicest Norwegian tour guide who kept giggling. I taught her how to pronounce some English words better, and she corrected my pronunciation on impossible words haha. KoC always puts me in the best mood because of their simple lyrics and melodies :)Delete
Gorgeous pictures! Thanks for the sneaky peek at your holiday! I am glad you guys had a lovely trip, great posts! What a treat to be the only ones on the tour! What a wonderful building and gardens! The flowers and hillside homes look wonderful! I would love to go there one day! How exciting is it to travel over the seas!? I love it! :) I hope you are happy to be home and keeping well sweetheart! :) Zoë xReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks Zoe, you are always so sweet. It was surreal to be on the water for 12 days, and luckily we had smooth travelling except for one day that had huge waves. Yikes. I am quite happy to be home even though at times I didn't want to leave the places I saw :)Delete
Those pom pom flowers are adorable!ReplyDelete
I realise I do way too little in the beautiful day I live in :)ReplyDeleteReplies
I suppose I'm the same way with my own city at times, hehe :)Delete
These are gorgeous photos, I'd like to visit this place :)ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you, I'd like to go back too! xDelete
I'm so incredibly jealous of your trip, but taking notes for my own! How did you hear about such an interesting spot? And, as always, your photos are beautiful.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you, you're so sweet! Well I listened to the band Kings of Convenience when I was about 13 (I'm 24 now) so I learned about Norway through listening to them. They are from Bergen and when I saw photographs back then of their town, I knew I had to go some day and see it for myself. I never thought it would actually happen so I'm beyond appreciative :)Delete
Hi! I just stumbled across you blog through Hjartesmil, and can see that you've basically been taking strolls through my neighborhood - quite the coincidence! I live right next to the little church you can see on the left in your last photo, and I used to live only a few minutes from Damsgård Manor :)ReplyDelete
It is so much fun to see an outsider's view of the city you live in, and your photos are absolutely stunning. Glad to hear you had a good time here!Replies
Hello Maja! You are quite lucky to live in those charming little mountains. The area around Damsgård was so peaceful and the view is unbeatable! I always feel like visitors see a strange side of Los Angeles when they visit, so I know to a local, I barely scratched the surface in Bergen hehe. I still wanted to learn a little about the history aside from visiting Bryggen and the old town so I'm glad I visited Damsgård :)Delete
what a beautiful place, you must have had such a lovely time there. it's always a shame when historical places won't let you take photos, i always think it's because they want to attract more tourists and it keeps it more interesting when people can't take photos of what's inside. i can't imagine how taking a photo without using a flash would deteriorate anything!ReplyDelete

Who speaks Klingon?
US cult TV series Star Trek first aired on September 8, 1966. From the beginning it has attracted an unusually large and engaged fan-base, some of whom have been enthusiastic enough to learn Klingon, one of the fictional languages spoken by some of Star Trek's characters. In today's blog post, Michael Adams investigates the demographics of Klingon speakers, and their attitudes to language in general.
In 'Just a Touch' (22 April 2004), an episode of the popular American hospital serial ER, one of the show's main characters, Abby (played by Maura Tierney), during her internship on the psych ward, is confronted by a man who suddenly speaks what most of us would hear as guttural gibberish. Abby answers in the same guttural gibberish, after which she explains to her surprised superior that she speaks a little Klingon. Nothing more was explained about what Klingon is or who speaks it. The episode's writers apparently considered it common knowledge among ER 's worldwide audience.
ER is fiction, but truth is often at least as strange as fiction. In May 2003, the real-world Multnomah County Hospital in Portland, Oregon, advertised for an interpreter fluent in Klingon. 'We have to provide information in all the languages our clients speak,' said Jerry Jelusich, a procurement specialist for the County Department of Human Services, which serves about 60,000 mental health clients.
Klingon is an artificial language adjunct to a fiction (or several serial fictions, the television episodes and films): it was not designed for real human communication, and it has no native speakers. However, some people, especially Star Trek fans, began to use it for fun, mainly in written communication on the Internet.
What follows describes the characteristics of the average Klingon speaker on the basis of an Internet survey designed by Judith Hendriks-Hermans as the basis for her Master's thesis (1999), supervised by Sjaak Kroon at the University of Tilburg, and posted on various Klingon and Star Trek -related sites. The questionnaire is composed of three parts, in which respondents provided personal information, described their relationship to Klingon, and indicated their attitudes toward the language.
In total, 109 people responded, 79 of whom identified as Klingon speakers. This level of response may not be enough to build a profile of the average Klingon user, but most of this survey's findings are corroborated by those of an earlier web survey conducted in Sweden, with 604 respondents (Annernas 1996), and an interview study with nineteen advanced Klingonists by Wahlgren (2004).
The majority (77 %) of the 79 Klingon speakers were male. Their average age was 31.5 years, ranging from 15 to 55. About half of the Klingon-speaking respondents were married. Although most of them lived in the United States (65.1 %), they came from all over the world — for instance, from Canada (12.8 %), Germany (7.3 %), England, and the Netherlands (both 2.8 %) — and mainly (64.6 %) lived in cities of more than 100,000 inhabitants.
A large majority (70.9 %) had post-secondary educations, and their professions included information technology and computers (32.9 %), other technical professions (10.1 %), and a variety of other occupations (24 %), such as civil servant, teacher, and actor, while 21.5% were students. Almost all were proficient in English, whereas between 10% and 20% had mastered German, French, or Spanish.
Apart from using the same language, a language community shares common patterns of language use and attitudes to that language. The survey showed that most Klingon-speaking respondents considered their native language easier to use and a better means of communication than Klingon, yet 63.3% wanted their (future) children to learn both languages. About one third thought Klingon the more beautiful of their two languages, and a bit more than a third considered both languages equally beautiful. As many as 70% of all 109 survey respondents hoped that Klingon would flourish, gaining more speakers and becoming more popular. The number of people who really expected Klingon to flourish, however, was (well) below 50% . Furthermore 66.1% thought Klingon would survive only as a Star Trek -related hobby for a very limited group of people, i.e., the Star Trek fans that use Klingon as 'a way of becoming a super trekkie' as one respondent expressed it.
While hard-core Klingonists may not depend on interest in Star Trek to fuel their interest in Klingon language, they have depended on Okrand to make new, canonical words. Wahlgren notes, 'Marc Okrand has invented most words for Klingon and when the Klingonists need a new word they have to ask him' (2004, 21). As Okrent puts it, 'Klingonists are strict about language authority … No one but Okrand can introduce new vocabulary. And no dispute about grammar or usage is considered settled until Okrand has spoken' (2009, 279). This is no way to run a real language: in a real language, the speech community has authority over that language. If Klingonists succeed in maintaining Klingon, they will eventually do so without Okrand's help, and that will be the point at which viability of the putative Klingon speech community will be tested.
Okrent recalls that 'in 1999, the satirical paper the Onion ran a story under the headline "Klingon Speakers Now Outnumber Navajo Speakers". This is absolutely not true, but it would have been true had they picked nearly any other Native American language' (2009, 272). Klingon is an already endangered language, and it isn't yet fully developed for real-world conversational use! It could easily die on the vine. How many speakers of a language are required for it to be a going concern? Conversations among those at the Klingon Language Institute conference (or qep'a' ) that Okrent attended were sometimes spontaneous, and 'it's amazing that spontaneous conversations happen at all', but too often those trying hard to converse resorted to PalmPilot dictionaries of Klingon.
There were, however, telling exceptions: 'I saw that later, as we walked over radiating sidewalks to a Mexican restaurant for the opening banquet, when I witnessed Captain Krankor and his girlfriend holding hands and chatting in Klingon, sans PalmPilots' (Okrent 2009 , 273). You can bet that Captain Krankor, whose real name is Rich, is a Trekkie; the girlfriend, Agnieszka, has recently translated the Tao Te Ching into Klingon. It doesn't take many people to make a speech community, and a small speech community is at least a pure speech community. Captain Krankor and Agnieszka might be Klingon's Adam and Eve, chatting in their brand new language, walking hand in hand on the road from Eden to Babel.

This Guy Almost Broke His Face While Shaving
Movember is over, which means it's time for men to shed the facial hair they've grown. This man is all in with that, but he's not all in with doing it in a remotely sane way.
Watch as he shows off the worst ways to get rid of his upper lip tickler. Ouch! He's doing everything wrong when it comes to bidding his mustache adieu.
We will give him credit for using the phrase "hair hole," though, and openly admitting he looks like Saddam Hussein and Freddie Mercury. Sense of humor is key -- especially when you're busy setting fire to your face.

Ayttm upgraded
April 29, 2009 — BarryKI have upgraded Ayttm from version 0.5.0-81 to 0.5.0-87.
It was tricky to compile, and I had to modify the source. I need to communicate with the developer Siddhesh about this.
This is compiled in Jaunty pup and only for that build. Other builds will still be using 0.5.0-81.
Picking out some entries from the changelog that might interest users (since 0.5.0-81):
* Multi-threading to avoid hang-ups during proxy connections or hostname
* Re-wrote network connectivity code.
* Pressing the invite button in chat room without selecting an account causes
a crash
* Fixed spelling errors reported by Kartik Mistry.
