My first word would be WOW!!!!!! I can't tell enough people about her. Without Diana and Aussie we wouldn't be sat in the house of our dreams. After years of struggle and hardship after emigrating from UK. Our dream came true because of Aussie and of course the fabulous Diana. She went waaay beyond our expectations after other companies failed us and left us hanging on by a thread. Diana changed it all around within weeks. She never clocked off and we can't be thankful enough for what she did for us. My last word would be MIRACLE... because she performed one. Much love The Haughton's x
We were just short of the assured income we would need to be able to finance our first Aussie home, and Diana was able to point my wife in the direction of an employer looking for a part time employee that would pay enough to get us over the line, but still allow my wife to be a stay at home mum. If it wasn't for Diana, we may still be stuck in a caravan but instead we are living the dream in our beautiful home!
Diana helped us purchase our first home, something we never dreamed was in our future. Above and beyond doesn't describe her efforts in helping us into our dream, from making the paperwork so easy to answering our millions of micro questions any time of day or night. She took all the background work into her stride so we didnt have to stress once. She deserves to join the holiday with us and can not be thanked enough for SAVING US HAVING TO NAVIGATE THE MORTGAGE WORLD COMPLETELY BLIND. Thank you Diana and thank you Aussie

Are you with an Arts Festival? A Science Festival? A STEM/STEAM event? Or just looking for a good STEM/STEAM activity at your event? Check out our updated and improved Tessellation Exhibit, available for rent for your event.
(If you aren't familiar with the Tessellation, it's where you create a shape (or shapes) in just the right way so that when you repeat the shape, it interlocks with itself. M.C. Escher's Lizards is the most famous example. Click HERE to see it.)
For the youngest participants, use Crayola Washable Markers to color one of our oversized pirate puzzle pieces! The pieces just rinse clean with water, so you never run out of pieces! (It's MUCH easier to clean than our old crayon model.)
Can you see how the pirate puzzle pieces fit together...? There are nine different pirate shapes, so it's harder than it looks! Try it and you'll see how tessellation works. The exhibit comes with approximately 350 total velcro puzzle pieces, and six 6'x4' velcro panels to put them on.
Learn more about this nifty crossroads of art and geometry. See examples, some history, how it became art, and how you can do it! We'll send four 6'x4' learning panels, similar to what you'd see at a Children's Museum. (Learning panels simplifed for 2019!)
Use your artistry to create your own character in our ready-to-tessellate paper shapes. What can you visualize...? Now draw it! We'll send you 600 total paper shapes (of two or three different looks). Put them in front of your participants and say... "What do you see? A dog? An alien? A flower? A rocket ship?" Use crayons, colored pencils, or markers. (Just make sure not to use the crayons on the pirate puzzle pieces!)
Post your creations to Instragram (like THIS) and we'll pull them down and compose your full tessellation masterpieces! We'll help you use them to maximize your sponsorship. We can get you digital files for either your website or your sponsor's website, or we could help create prints for your sponsor to display, or greeting cards, or whatever makes sense for your situation. How can we help?
The Exhibit
- TWO hexagonal stands, each with six 6'x4' openings. Each stand is approximately 8' in diameter.
- FOUR 6'x4' Educational Panels---SIMPLIFIED in 2018 for younger participants.
- 350 total Pirate Puzzle Pieces--plastic with velcro backing. Pieces are 6" to 7" tall. There are nine different pirate shapes.
- You can COLOR and WIPE OFF the puzzle pieces--now using Crayola MARKERS. They wipe with just a quick wipe of a wet sponge.
- SIX 6'x4' velcro panels---bring up your puzzle piece to fit it in with the others.
- 600 paper shapes for you to challenge your participants to imagine and draw out a character, animal, object, etc. Approx 3" to 3.5" tall.
- TWO 6'x4' vinyl panels to tape up paper shapes.
- FOUR "Instructional Table Triangles" to show participants how the paper shape activity works.
- After the event, we'll put together approximately 25 compositions using your participants paper shape creations. We'll provide digital files.
Prices and Rental Terms
RENTAL of Two Stands, Four Informational Panels, Six Velcro Panels, Two Paper Shape display panels, 350 Pirate Velcro Puzzle Pieces, Four Instructional "Table Triangles". 600 Paper Shapes are yours to keep.
$850 Rental Fee, plus two-way freight (usually to $200 to $300 each direction in the continental US---call for a quote to your location)
EVERYTHING except paper shapes must be returned. We charge $3.00 EACH for lost puzzle pieces.
It ships in five cases---each 55"x16"x12". Freight averages to $250 each direction---call for a quote to your location.
Abbreviated Tessellation Activity
For clients in Canada, where customs fees will make our full exhibit rental unfeasible, and Alaska & Hawaii, where shipping will likely do the same, we can offer an abbreviated tessellation activity.
- The FOUR Educational Panels reduced from to 3'x2' and printed on paper.
- 1000 paper shapes for you to challenge your participants to imagine and draw out a character, animal, object, etc. Approx 3" to 3.5" tall.
- "Instructional Table Triangles" printed on paper, with tabs and slots, so you can assemble into the triangles.

I was watching AFC the other day and there was a talk about rice pudding on how to cook, how to impart the flavor, that its a great comfort food etc...i never had rice pudding before even when i was studying in the UK . i was curious but never had a chance to try one before so i really dunno whats the fuss about rice pudding so i decided to make some to try and appreciate the filling comfort food.
I've made a chocolate rice pudding with almond flakes. it turned out beautifully but not picture perfect i have to say coz i made it at night as i was craving for something sweetand filling at the time. its easy to make, great tasting and fills you up in no time (eh what do you expect its rice, its supposed to fill you up) any way..here's what you need..
1/3 of short grain rice or Japanese rice <--coz its starchy 1c of milk 1c of water 30-50g of dark chocolate (this actually really is up to you if you want vanilla you can omit this) 2-3tbs brown sugar - more if you like it really sweet. a pinch of salt 1 egg yolk
- heat water and milk until slightly simmer
- meanwhile wash the rice and soak it a little then add in the milk mixture
- let it cook for a while. once its starts boiling add in a pinch of salt. let it cook for 15 minutes
- then the water and milk will starts to thicken a little add in the chocolate stir until its completely melted.
- then add in sugar and let it cook for another 15minutes or so.
- once its done the texture should be thick and the rice is cooked thoroughly remove from fire let it cool slightly then add in the yolk stir well. the heat of the rice will gently cook the yolk. this will give the pudding a custard consistency.
- serve it in a ramekin hot or cold its to your fancy...

Golden Broom Award Presented to John Hosmer
Posted: November 10, 2011 Nancy J Conrad
Golden Broom Award
In a gesture of appreciation and fun, the Upham's Corner Improvement Association will be issuing "Golden Broom" awards to Upham's Corner businesses and residents who put forth special effort in maintaining a clean, well-swept and attractive "face" to the community.
At their November 2011 meeting, UCIA agreed that John Hosmer, proprietor of Dollar Store Plus at 775 Dudley Street, would receive the first "Golden Broom Award."
For years John has been putting out a trash barrel in front of his business, sweeping the sidewalk and putting the trash barrel back into the store at the close of the business day. He does this quietly, almost without notice.
"Why not help the neighborhood and the business district? I put out the barrel, bring it in at night. The front of my business stays clean and everybody is happy."
UCIA member Catherine Larget-Caplan presented the award to Mr. Hosmer on November 10 and he accepted it in gratitude and with a smile.

Yesterday's post on why the clergy isn't very supportive of Humanae Vitae was a bit of a downer. Here are seven reasons why I remain hopeful.
Barack Obama
Yes, Mr. Hope and Change himself gives me hope.
Because the HHS Mandate was a wake up call for a lot of Catholics. We would never have reconsidered our contraceptive use if it weren't for conversations that arose about the mandate.
The more he antagonizes the Church, the more Catholics have to stand up and defend the faith. As Tertullian said, "The blood of the martyrs is the seed of the Church." (Conversely, "In the absence of martyrs, there's a presence of thieves." as the Jennifer Knapp song goes.) Although bureaucratic interference is far from martyrdom, the Church has always grown through difficulty and stagnated in times of privilege.
Oh, and the HHS Mandate does include a lot of maternity care benefits. It's not all bad.
Bloggers and Internet Discussion
Much of the discussion over the HHS Mandate and Church teaching has happened over the internet. Some of it good, much of it not so good.
But the important part is that people are talking. People are sharing their stories. People are arguing. Sometimes people are won over.
When we tried NFP earlier in our marriage, we were very isolated and very frustrated. We thought we were the only people who did that, except for the really Catholic mommas with the mantilla and the maxi-van full of kids. (Not that there's anything wrong with mantillas and maxi-vans.) When we struggled with the method, we had few places to turn to understand why. When we were struggling with issues about Church teaching, we thought we were the only people who did so. We saw Church teaching as limiting our options and forcing us into a certain lifestyle.
Social media has given us access to a wider variety of people. People like us are following Church teaching. People like us are even driving maxi-vans. You can follow Church teaching without having to become someone you are not.
Through social media, we have been able to see the positive side of Church teachings. We have also been able to see that challenges and struggles are normal. It's not just for the super devout or the extra holy, it's something that is good for for everyone.
Improved Technology
Technology has made living Church teaching far easier than it had been in the past.
Gone are the days of paper charts, limited information, and the textbook-like Art of Natural Family Planning. Gone are the days of having to drive for an hour to a stranger's house to talk about the most intimate details of your body and love life.
Electronic charting means no more paper charts to worry about. Online classes via Skype mean that you can learn the method in the convenience of your home. Online research means you can learn more about the methods if you are having a problem or if you are just into that sort of thing.
Technology is also making the methods easier. The new Marquette Method uses a ClearBlueEasy fertility monitor to determine the fertile times. As technology gets better and cheaper and as interest in natural methods grow, I expect more devices to make things even easier.
Increased awareness of Fertility Awareness as a woman's health issue.
People are going green, and filling your body with artificial hormones isn't compatible with a natural, healthy lifestyle.
Not only are non-Catholics starting to appreciate the method, but more Catholics are talking about the women's health benefits of fertility charting. Church teaching is not a burden placed on women by the old guys in Rome, but part of a healthy way to live.
People Crave Challenges and Self-Improvement
People do crave a challenge. People like to improve themselves. That's why more and more people run marathons.
NFP instructor Kristin Putnam asks why we don't apply principles of self-improvement to fertility?
Getting in shape takes perseverance, sacrifice and hard work. But, everyone agrees that the end result is worth the effort. Look at marriage, a career, owning a home, staying out of debt, buying a car, and living life as responsible human being… every aspect of life requires some amount of sacrifice, self discipline and work to achieve a positive, desired end result.
So why is it, when it comes to our fertility, that we all of a sudden throw the need for effort out the window? For some, it is enough effort to try and remember to take a pill every day. The result for this effort? A false sense of security that pregnancy is no longer a concern for the duration of her prescription.
One of the benefits of charting fertility is that it gives women important data about their bodies. As Kati Bicknell of Kindara Fertility put it:
By recording your daily fertility signs a whole world of possibility opens up for you! While it's true that fertility charting can be, and often is used to achieve or prevent pregnancy, the benefits of it don't stop there. Fertility charting can answer important questions about our ovulation, luteal phase, cycle health, thyroid function and more. I have friends who have finally figured out the root of several food allergies, from charting their fertility. I myself have learned that a diet high in animal fat keeps my cycles regular. One reason I'm so excited about what we're doing at Kindara is that as more and more women start quantifying their fertility, we'll start to generate new knowledge about fertility for the benefit of humankind, creating a virtuous feedback loop that will help each woman feel calm and confident with her fertility in her specific situation.
For us, charting allowed K to spot that she was Vitamin D deficient, which allowed me to figure out I was too. By adding Vitamin D supplements to our diet, we were able to avoid the "winter blues" and have more energy.
It also gives couples data about their love life. How many "I"s this month? 😀
All fertility awareness based methods work based on self-awareness, self-control, and self-sacrifice. Making these a part of your relationship makes it stronger. Even non-Catholic couples often notice positive changes in their relationship when they switch from contraception (especially hormonal contraception) to a natural method. Not only is it good for women's health, but it works to build cooperation between the spouses. Or as life an intimacy coach Kim Animi explained:
Women: Take control of your own body.
Men: Support women to take control. You can do it with them.
Theology of the Body
Promoting fertility awareness as a health and relationship tool is great, but there is more.
For years, Catholic teaching on sexuality was presented very negatively—"Don't". The teachings was presented as a series of rules and obligations and often with a very judgmental tone.
Then it became a matter of "Don't ask, don't tell", where nobody talked about it.
While Theology of the Body is about far more than just sexuality, it presents Catholic teaching on sexuality in the context of the human person. It's not about a technical discussion of how God and nature designed the "parts" to "fit", but about how sexuality fits into friendship and love.
Catholic teaching on chastity is a new way of thinking for traditional Catholics, Protestants coming from "Purity culture", and secular people accustomed to the sexual revolution. It's not about saying "No", but about saying "Yes" to deeper and more intimate relationship. It's not about rules, but about self-discipline.
As the culture is into self-improvement, the idea that chastity can improve relationships and personal well-being will cause people to be more interested in it.
Pope Francis
I love our "frank" new Pontiff.
One of his big themes is about the importance of the laity being laity. We do not all need to be Extraordinary Ministers and distribute communion like the Priests. Nor do we need to be amateur theologians, giving our own personal spin to the teachings of the Magisterium.
What we do need to do is live our lives with holiness and joy.
For lay married couples to share with lay married couples ways to make their marriage better does not require the permission of a priest. It's something that we can all do. It's part of our vocation, not theirs. We don't need to wait for Father to give the Big Homily On Contraception, we can tell our friends, family, and fellow Catholics what we have. Here. Now.
And I'm starting to see this promotion on the internet through sites like iusenfp.com, livingthesacrament.com, and many other blogs and websites dedicated to helping married couples have better marriages.
Which is why I am hopeful for the future.

If you've spent enough time at DevOps conferences, you've heard the phrase "pets versus cattle" used to describe server infrastructure. The idea behind this concept is that traditional infrastructure was built by hand without much automation, and therefore, servers were treated more like special pets—you would do anything you could to keep your pet alive, and you knew it by name because you hand-crafted its configuration. As a result, it would take a lot of effort to create a duplicate server if it ever went down. By contrast, modern DevOps concepts encourage creating "cattle", which means that instead of unique, hand-crafted servers, you use automation tools to build your servers so that no individual server is special—they are all just farm animals—and therefore, if a particular server dies, it's no problem, because you can respawn an exact copy with your automation tools in no time.
If you want your infrastructure and your team to scale, there's a lot of wisdom in treating servers more like cattle than pets. Unfortunately, there's also a downside to this approach. Some administrators, particularly those that are more junior-level, have extended the concept of disposable servers to the point that it has affected their troubleshooting process. Since servers are disposable, and sysadmins can spawn a replacement so easily, at the first hint of trouble with a particular server or service, these administrators destroy and replace it in hopes that the replacement won't show the problem. Essentially, this is the "reboot the Windows machine" approach IT teams used in the 1990s (and Linux admins sneered at) only applied to the cloud.
This approach isn't dangerous because it is ineffective. It's dangerous exactly because it often works. If you have a problem with a machine and reboot it, or if you have a problem with a cloud server and you destroy and respawn it, often the problem does go away. Because the approach appears to work and because it's a lot easier than actually performing troubleshooting steps, that success then reinforces rebooting and respawning as the first resort, not the last resort that it should be.
The problem with respawning or rebooting before troubleshooting is that since the problem often goes away after doing that, you no longer can perform any troubleshooting to track down the root cause. To extend the cattle metaphor, it's like shooting every cow that is a little sluggish or shows signs of a cold, because they might have mad cow disease and not actually testing the cow for the disease. If you aren't careful, you'll find you've let a problem go untreated until it's spread to the rest of your herd. Without knowing the root cause, you can't perform any steps to prevent it in the future, and although the current issue may not have caused a major outage, there's no way to know whether you'll get off so easy the next time it happens. So although you may save time by not troubleshooting, that's time you lose from gaining troubleshooting experience. Eventually, you'll need to flex that troubleshooting muscle, and if you haven't exercised it, you may find yourself with a problem you can't solve.
In short, automation is great, and it's incredibly important in modern infrastructure to be able to respawn any host quickly and easily—just don't turn that infrastructure best practice into a troubleshooting worst practice.
—Kyle Rankin


text: A couple of months ago I posted a thread and received a ton of great feedback on my designs for handmade wood tie racks and pocket square organizers. I wanted to create a new thread to showcase my side hustle Dapper Woodworks so I can continue to get feedback and show y'all new products that I release. I began Dapper Woodworks back in October 2017 on Etsy as a way to combine my passion for woodworking and menswear, and to provide a little extra income for my family. I first designed a pocket square organizer, and then began making custom tie racks as well. I am currently beginning to work with menswear retailers to get my products in front of more people. All my products are made to order and customizable by choosing the size, wood type, hardware finish, and an option for a shelf. If anyone is interested please go check out my new site www.dapperwoodworks.com or my Instagram @ Dapperwoodworks. I am offering 10% off by using the code "DAPPER". As always any feedback, new product ideas, or suggestions for menswear retailers that might be interested in my products is appreciated. Thanks a lot!

Paying tribute to the ultimate ladies' man
Published: Wednesday, July 30, 2008
In this summer-long series, the National Post takes readers to some of the most interesting places in the country, from the hometowns of the famous to little-known places touched by celebrity.
By Kevin Libin
EDMONTON -- By the time the surprised student arrived home, hot take-out lunch in hand, there were three-dozen strangers on his front lawn, his front porch, peering through his unwashed windows and poking around his backyard.
They came from Japan, Germany, the U.K, Finland, Holland and the United States to see this place. To those living here, it was, till now, just another rough-around-the-edges co-op University of Alberta residence. To the visitors, it was the sacred Sisters of Mercy house, where Leonard Cohen briefly visited — first, upstairs, at a professor's party, before spending the night in the basement with Lorraine and Barbara, the inspirations for that song ("they lay down beside me/I made my confession to them," he wrote).
Mr. Cohen spent a few weeks in Edmonton 42 years ago, invited to lecture by the university's English department. He composed that song — though, there have been disputed versions of how the night transpired — and a few poems (including Edmonton, Alberta, December 1966, 4 a.m.).
Among his surely epic experiences, this visit might at best merit a "minor place," said biographer Ira Nadel. "No more than that." He was, by 1966, a renowned Canadian poet, Mr. Nadel says, just emerging as a songwriter, spending time in New York's Chelsea Hotel with Janis Joplin and Lou Reed.
But to the pilgrims who travelled to the Leonard Cohen International Festival in Edmonton, which wrapped up on Monday after five days of intense worship, even footnotes fascinate.
Anywhere Mr. Cohen shed skin cells while in Edmonton, they toured: the Hotel MacDonald, where he stayed, but was evicted for the commotion he caused; the former site of the Alberta Hotel, now an office tower, where he subsequently relocated; the lecture hall where he recited poetry to mesmerized undergraduates; and the Yardbird Suite, a legendary music dive (since relocated) where he sang.
Between stops, aficionados (they call themselves Cohenights) swapped memories of earlier festivals — there have been three of the biennial events before, in
Berlin, New York and Hydra, the Greek Island where Mr. Cohen keeps a home — shared concert clips on portable video players, showed off their mastery of trivia, such as the origins of the Famous Blue Raincoat (a Burberry, reportedly) and dished rumours regarding his current love life.
"They're psychotic," one buff marvelled aloud, taken aback herself at the zeal of her fellow travellers. "They just want to be any place Leonard stood,"
In fact, the Cohenights ranged from eager admirers to obsessives. Sunday's gala tribute concert featuring artists, including Jann Arden and Tom Rush, covering Cohen songs, drew 1,400 mostly casual fans.
Anyone passingly familiar with Mr. Cohen could dig the feisty sounds of Monsieur Camembert, Australia's "most famous gypsy band," who travelled here for a private performance of their repertoire of Cohen covers, from their Famous Blue Cheese album.
But it took a fetishist to sit through the 40-minute PowerPoint presentation by nephrologist Dr. Thomas Mueller on "Cohen's connections to medicine, meditation and Buddhism."
Exhibits of artwork painted while listening to Mr. Cohen, dance performances interpreting his music, and late-night "collage-a-thons" fell somewhere in between.
"These are dedicated Leonard Cohen fans who will go anywhere for this international event," said Kim Solez, a local renal pathologist and the festival's organizer.
"There are only about 250 to 300 people like that in the world who will come to Leonard stuff no matter where it is" — even if it doesn't actually feature Mr. Cohen himself, currently in Europe on his first tour in 15 years.
But taking in a concert is something anyone can do. Well, almost anyone: Western Canada has been left off the tour, something Dr. Solez thinks is deliberate.
He's sure Mr. Cohen — whom he spent part of a day with some years back while spearheading an international campaign for an annual Robbie-Burns-type commemoration of Mr. Cohen's birthday — wouldn't wish to overshadow this with his presence.
"He knows about our event, and doesn't want to be competing directly with it," he maintains. "It would be nice to have him, but everything we planned would make no sense if the man were actually there."
After all, why bother with German Cohenights serenading native versions of I'm Your Man ("Ich bin dein Mann") and Everybody Knows ("Jeder weiss bescheid") on open mic night when Mr. Cohen is available to sing the real thing?
Besides, seeing the moody Ladies' Man onstage for a couple hours provides limited appreciation of his oeuvre. For devoted fans, craving more, travelling the world to discuss his every detail and study like holy places the floors he once walked may, they hope, provide them some deeper glimpse into Leonard Cohen's unusual soul.

Dearest mother,
You may be gone physically,
But I am not alone,
For I know your sweet smile,
Is watching over me, guiding me to go on,
With courage and determination
Rocky paths and hardships,
In every step of life,
The feeling of hopelessness,
I hate it all
I rage, I glaze, I want to scream
Yet, I have to be strong,
To battle on and survive,
And emerge victorious
Rays of sunshine
Gently embracing my feet
Covered in soft grains of sand
Taking steady footsteps along the shore
Filling me with bliss and hope
To take on the world
Dear Fear,
How do I know you? Did we meet from an unfortunate incident? Or we never met before? I wonder why do you exists. Will my life be happier without you? Are you limiting from fulfilling my dreams? How are you so powerful as to paralyze me and enslaving me in my mind? I am your prisoner. How do I overcome your hold on me? I need to get rid of you.
Dear Freedom,
You are someone that I yearn for. I really want to be more than just acquaintances. I really do. Why do we let circumstances keeps us apart. Is it something that I did? Do you know that the moments that I had with you are the best times that I had? I will always cherish them now that I do not get the chance to meet you. I need to see you more often.
Dear Faith,
I have never seen you before. Sometimes, I feel like you do not exists. But somehow I need you to keep me going through the dark times. I need you to feel that things will get better in the near future, that there is still hope out that. Still, you disappointed me. Time passes and nothing much changed. In fact, they get worse sometimes. It makes me not believe you. I need to believe in you again.
Karada ni fureru Kawaita Kazena
Meneni Shimi Ta
Hikari no Chini Sana e Kanasa Yu
Te on Kazasu kazasu
Passion is lighting me up
Nothing to bring me down
Thou there's Light
Hope is still found.
Under the challenging storm
To poke, not to poke.
One man's antidote, another man's poison
Tube is connected, Butterfly is activated
Saline starts to flow.
Pupil starts to constrict.
Pulse starts to blow, sharper gradient forms
The worst 30 minutes of my life
But it will never end
Any time soon.
Frozen heart, red as blood
Embrace yourself tonight.
The hidden potential unleashes
My second self is telling me
Thou life is short
Melting point is a criteria.
Droplets trickle, base is wet.
I am Liquid, Movement resumed
If I don't stand under the spotlight anymore, If my name don't appear on the news and the perfect me you used to picture is no longer there, would you still love me the same?
Because not every sunset is a goodbye, even dawn breaks to a new beginning.
I'll be here still so take my hand if you dare and let's go seek an adventurous journey together.
Oh, Will i still have your heart babe?
Honestly I'm not sure anymore of what I want. Everything seems to be lost in a blur and I wonder if I'm lost or my purpose here is no longer needed, being upset is all I feel these days and tears seems to make an escape every time I blink my eyes.
Tell me what you see cause I can't do this forever. Time won't stop for anyone, flowing through like the river and somewhere there's me in it struggling to stay afloat will you save me from this undertow of emotions.
So tell me, in my darkest of nights, would you love me the same?
I have so much to tell you but I'll keep it for now, I'll wait until you're decided yourself. Know that whatever you decide on will depend on you. I can just hope that you'll choose to try this journey with me. No matter what happens though, I'll still be your friend – that's for sure.
If I go away now, would you still love me the same?

How To Hide a Drive in Windows Explorer using CMD
Below we outline the steps on How to Hide your Drive from Windows Explorer using the CMD or Command Prompt (DOS). Yes, it is handy to have your Drives visible in your Windows Explorer or in My Computer.
Command Line Tweaks – Hide a Drive from Explorer with CMD
A. Fire-up CMD (must have elevated privilege or administrator)
B. Type in Diskpart then hit the Enter key
C. Type in List Volume then hit the Enter key
Make sure you know the drive letter you want to remove. If we are sure on the volume number and the drive letter, then we may proceed.
As an example, we choose Volume 5 labeled as Drive E.
D. Now we type in Select Volume 5 then hit the Enter key
E. Next type in Remove Letter E then hit the Enter key
At the end of the steps you will receive a message prompt:
Diskpart successfully removed the drive letter or mount point.
That's it. Your Drive will no longer appear in Explorer or My Computer. The Drive icon is now invisible in all Windows folders. However, since we only removed the label, the Drive is still accessible by directly typing the Drive letter in CMD or Explorer address bar. For instance, even if hidden, typing C: will open-up Drive C.
This tweak is useful for folks who would like to hide partition or drive icons from Explorer. If you would like to revert the steps back and show the hidden drive again, follow steps A to D then type in:
F. Assign Letter E then hit the Enter key
Drive E is now visible again in Explorer.
Happy Tweaking!

Kevin shared this story with me the other day. It's too good not to retell.
> A few years back, there was an ad agency called Allen Brady and Marsh (ABM). It was a very showbiz agency, and not very fashionable. They were pitching for the British Rail account against some very good agencies and to say they were considered 'underdogs' would be an understatement.
> If they were to stand any chance of winning this account they had to find a way to prove they knew something the other, more fashionable agencies didn't.
> Apparently, on the day of the pitch, the top management team of British Rail turned up at the ABM offices. When they arrived at reception it was deserted.
> The Chairman checked his watch, and they were on time.
> He looked around, and there was no one in sight — just a very scruffy reception area littered with crumpled newspapers, food wrappers, cigarette butts, and cushions with holes burned in them.
> It looked like the worst agency they'd ever been in.
> Eventually, a scruffy woman appeared and sat behind the desk. She ignored them and started rummaging in a drawer. The Chairman coughed. She ignored him, so he coughed again.
> Silence.
> He said, "Excuse me, we're here to see …" The woman replied, "Be with you in a minute love."
> He said, "But we have an appointment …" and she replied abruptly, "Can't you see I'm busy?"
> The Chairman was fuming. "This is outrageous" he said, "we've been waiting more than fifteen minutes."
> "Can't help that love" the receptionist replied.
> The Chairman had enough. "Right that's it, we're leaving" he declared, and the top management team of British Rail started to walk out.
> At that very moment, a door opened and out stepped the agency creative director, Peter Marsh.
> He'd been watching everything.
> He shook the Chairman's hand warmly and said, "Gentlemen, you've just experienced what the public's impression of British Rail is. Now, if you'll come this way, we'll show you exactly how we're going to turn that around."
> And he took the British Rail management team into the boardroom and went through their pitch about how bright the future could be, if ABM was their agency, which of course, it became.
This story is a great example of someone deliberately doing something remarkable (something people remark on) to make a real impact and to make people feel the need for change. It's these kind of actions that inevitably trigger stories, and positively influence others.
How might you use this aspect of story triggering in your change initiative to show people what is different, not just tell them? How can you make them 'feel' the need for change?

Compiling a list of the top tools of any discipline within software building will be highly subjective. As such this list (well, there are actually two lists as you'll find out) is a reflection of talking to a small sample of developers. These developers are all highly passionate about software and the creation of such, and all have their personal preferences. This article is not meant to tell you what you should use, but rather (hopefully) present new ideas and inspire you to try out alternatives. Take what you can use and leave the rest.

I like wearing panties.
I'm a happily married man but I have a secret which is that I love wearing ladies undies. I get so turned on when I pull on my wifes panties that i j*** myself off while I look at myself in the mirror. The other week when out shopping by myself I bought some black stockings. I was so hard at the anticipation that I couldnt wait to get home.Once home i locked all the doors and raided the laundry basket for her panties. I stripped off pulled the panties on and sat on the edge of the bed and pulled the stockings on. I was so excited I came before I pulled the second one up. What an o***** it was good. the best ever. Now i want to meet up with someone of similar tastes to swap panties.

Wife gone out for the night with friends.....How cool is that...Stripped right off and pulled on her blue panties hard as anything i then went on line and chatted to similar....Wanked....came....would love to do it so some one could see me...I want to be seen in panties. Is that wrong?
I know its wrong but when my wife was out shopping yesterday I slipped into her worn panties and instantly I was hard and so started stroking slowly. I looked at myself in the mirror and wished that it was the chap who replied to my first post that was watching me and telling me what to do,i stroked slowly never revealing my c*** until i came soaking her panties.I felt guilty when i took them off and put them in the washing machine to hide the evidence but it was so nice. Is this wrong or what.
I love wearing them too! I love it and sometimes I even go with the bra and dress and it's amazing. I would love to swap with u. ;)
Thats real cool. I've never worn a bra before but theres always a first time. After that first time with stockings when I came suddenly (very nice) I have worn them since along with suspenders. They feel fantastic and make me so hard. I love white cotton lacy panties best with black stockings and suspenders but would love any if your up for it. Would love you to see me in my panties jerking wanking. Any ideas how tp go about it Im new to all this computer stuff.
Yeah, just go to www.lemonparty.org and
I will meet u : D

Talni Mirchi are dried chillies from Maharashtra. They are first stuffed with fenugreek and perhaps other spices, perhaps soaked in curd or yoghurt, and dried in the sun.
To use them, they are deep fried or sauteed very briefly, then crumbled over dishes or eaten alongside the dishes that form a meal. They can also be added to a tadka or used in curd rice, with rice and dal, in raita and Koshimbir salads.
Similar dried chillies are made in Kerala, Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka.

As project management becomes ever more mobile it's interesting to see that more PM Tools are actively encouraging users to use native mobile applications to access and update projects on the go. Projects are becoming more and more real-time, but how capable are organisations in utilising that valuable business capability. Are PMs, PMO heads and CFO's ready to spot projects deviating from plan real-time and do they have the necessary skill-sets to address before it's too late. It will be amazingly empowering for those who can.
As an example of what can be done with a tablet and a fairly straightforward tool like LiquidPlanner, take a look at this recent article on TechRepublic.

Riodinid Butterfly Lasia agesilas
Common Name: Riodinid Butterfly
Order Name: Lepidoptera
Family Name: Riodinidae
Quite the enigmatic character, this small Riodinid butterfly with prominent yellow eyes and gorgeous metallic blue wings, found a favorite perch on the red laces of my hiking boots as I took a break in the Southern Brazilian forests of Rondonia. There are over 2000 species of Riodinids butterflies which present considerable difficulty for taxonomists to organize. The entire group is extremely diverse and closely resemble many other butterfly groups.

Art has always been an intrinsic part of my life. Experiences of learning and teaching various printmaking techniques as a secondary school teacher ignited the desire to further explore printmaking in my own arts practice although I continue to employ multiple ways of expressing my ideas in a variety of media. Previously a painter, printmaking encourages spontaneity and
experimentation to enter my work keeping me motivated and challenged. Inspired by colour, texture, pattern and form in the natural environment I am drawn to look for beauty in unexpected places and I endeavour to draw the viewer in to my experiences, and to look with new eyes at their own environments.

Anyways, I know I've seriously been lacking in posting lately (I'm so sorry!) but things have been completely crazy with organizing my blog candy, updating my blog design, keeping up with work and school, and also finding time to craft. To top it all off, my wi-fi has been giving me a hard time lately so that makes it that much harder to post and comment. My next couple of posts I'll be playing "card catch-up" and sharing with you some cards I made a while back and am just now finding the time to post.
This is an anniversary card I made for fun about a month or so ago. I realized I hadn't used my paisley embossing folder and wanted to give it a try - and luckily I had some paisley paper that matched perfectly! I really love the colors on the card, it's not a color combo that I've seen used too often. And maroon and gold are my favorite colors (also the colors of my bedroom!) so that's another reason I was pleased with this card.

The content of the magazine and its website is the responsibility of the editors and does not necessarily reflect the views of Yale or its officers.
Aural History
My first Caruso recording came out of a shoebox from my then-boyfriend's storage locker: a cheap cassette tape with the tracks marked on it in ballpoint pen. We stuck it in the stereo and pressed "play," and there began a pebbly crackle of surface noise, a sound like loud rain outside. Then, through this haze, came a voice as full and rich and nearly perfect as anything I had ever heard: Caruso singing Bizet's setting of "Agnus Dei."
We're so overwhelmed with noise today that we take recorded sound for granted. It pollutes our elevators and shopping malls, chases loiterers from train stations, enfolds us with a sickly sound to match the canned smell when we step into airplanes. Meanwhile, our standards for sound reproduction in the digital age are approaching a kind of ideal that is also, alas, hard and sterile. Recording engineers can wipe away all trace of human frailty. Opera singers often go into a studio and sing 20 high notes, then pick their favorite to be spliced into the recording; and if they haven't held it out long enough, the engineer can digitally extend it to fit the music.
So it may be necessary to untrain one's ears to hear the kinds of treasures preserved in the Yale Collection of Historic Sound Recordings (HSR). Established in 1961 with a bequest from Laurence C. Witten II '51BMus and his wife, Cora Witten '54BMus, HSR is among the leading such archives in America, after the Library of Congress and the New York Public Library of the Performing Arts. It includes more than 200,000 recordings of everything from composers conducting or playing their own works (Edvard Grieg, Maurice Ravel) to historical figures (Theodore Roosevelt, Winston Churchill) to, most particularly, an extraordinary collection of early vocal recording, a near-complete catalog of everything committed to wax or vinyl by the greatest singers of the past.
These aren't the kinds of singers we're used to today. The sounds of these voices are sometimes ragged, sometimes distorted by primitive mikes, sometimes veiled by surface noise—but always, undoubtedly, human. There are eight wax cylinders by the tenor Antonio Aramburo, made in Uruguay in 1901. No more than one copy of any of his cylinders is known, so each of these represents a live performance; eight cylinders means that he sang eight times. Singers can sound unpretty. They weren't trying for pretty. Sound in those days was not meant to play in the background: these performances were the main event. Some of them may be over the top, but they demand, and capture, attention.
From the beginning, the technology was seen as a way to preserve history: an aural time capsule. Leo Tolstoy spoke excerpts of "For Every Day" in four languages, to make sure his words reached the widest possible spectrum of people. The great soprano Adelina Patti, one of the biggest stars of the mid-nineteenth century, who commanded unheard-of nightly fees across America as she gave one farewell tour after another, was tracked down in retirement at her castle in Wales (divas were divas then) to be recorded. She was 62 at the time. "Ah," she exclaimed, listening to the results with blissfully uncritical ears, "at last I understand why I am Patti! What a voice!" History was inadvertently captured, too. In one of his last recordings, "Rachel, quand du seigneur" from Halevy's La Juive, Caruso sings with his rich virile sweetness; but at every inhalation you can hear the ghastly rale of the pleurisy which would, within months, kill him.
Today, a certain amount of this material is available on CD (though purists will tell you that digital sound lacks the warmth and bloom of the analog you hear on plain old vinyl). But the breadth of the Yale archive, coupled with untold rarities—unreleased tracks by the soprano Lilli Lehmann; a private disc by the tenor Francesco Tamagno, who created Verdi's Otello—make it a rare and precious resource. The whole field of classical music is about preserving the past: but on these recordings, the past comes to life. Today, musicians in perfect recording conditions, with crystalline sound and not a trace of surface noise, create digital "pressings." On these recordings, we hear the live flowers of which the pressings are nearly always but an echo.

10 green retro activities making a comeback
Home births
If you're reading this, chances are you were born in a hospital. It's long been the location of choice for deliveries — believed by most to be cleaner, safer and more modern. But a funny thing happened between 2004 and 2009. The number of home births rose by 29 percent. Experts aren't exactly sure what's behind the DIY birth movement, but they speculate it may be related to cost (delivering a baby at home is about one-third less expensive than delivering in a hospital) and the yearning for a more intimate experience away from rushed and distracted medical personnel.

With Kanye West recently declaring that he is in 54 million dollars of debt, we thought it would be a good idea to educate everyone on how to find gold.
Because lets face it, if Kanye West can be in debt, we all can be.
Lets start with the basics. What is gold panning?
Gold panning is, as you can guess, the process of extracting gold from placer deposits (that is, mineral deposits). Typically done with a sluice, a pan, and a sifter. Think back to the Alaskan Gold Rush, because that's exactly what they used to do!
How does that work?
Well, the pan is designed to let particles with a low specific gravity fall out of the pan, while keeping particles and minerals with a high specific gravity sink to the bottom of the pan. That makes it easy for you (the gold miner) to collect some gold. So yes, you are in fact a gold digger.
Where to find GoldThe Penny Hoarder has a great little guide about where to go to find gold! But I'll briefly tell you the overview
- Reed Gold Mine, North Carolina.
- Big Thunder Gold Mine, South Dakota
- Jamestown, California
- Dahlonega, Georgia
- Crow Creek, Alaska
- Alabama Gold Camp, Alabama
- Colorado Gold Adventures, Colorado
That's great and all, but what does it actually take to do this?
What you'll need
Let us know how it goes with your gold panning expedition! And remember to keep us in mind when you strike your gold!

Looks like Kim Sharma's cricket connection is here to stay. Reports suggest that Kim, who once upon a time dated cricketer Yuvraj Singh, has purchased a cricket team in Kenya. The actress has been residing in Africa ever since she tied the knot with Kenyan businessman Ali Punjani.
A source says, "Kim's love for sports, especially cricket is known to all. She now owns a cricket team in Kenya and also manages their hotel business. It is not surprising that she ended up buying her own team and roped in players like Chris Cairns and Andrew Symonds. She is happy that her team won a tournament recently."
Those close to her say Kim is in no mood to return to Bollywood. A friend of the actress states, "She is enjoying this phase of juggling between two different ventures. Her husband has seen her films and liked her work too but she does not want to return to acting."
Kim remained unavailable for comment.

It's time for a Hemp Revolution
"Every generation faces a challenge. In the 1930s, it was the creation of Social Security. In the 1960s, it was putting a man on the moon. In the 1980s, it was ending the Cold War. Our generation's challenge will be addressing global climate change while sustaining a growing global economy." – Eileen Clausen, Pew Center on Global Climate Change
Today, November 30th we have probably the most important ministerial meeting of the year, the United Nations Climate Change Conference or COP 21 where the heads of state are gathering in Paris to discuss what action needs to be taken to avert climate change catastrophe.
Fossil fuel consumption, and our meat industry can be considered the most responsible for climate change. Around 80% of the CO2 being added to the atmosphere each year currently comes directly from the burning of natural gas, and coal and oil deposits. Agriculture is another significant driver of global warming and causes 15% of all emissions, half of which are from livestock. One pound of beef requires 1,799 gallons of water for the growing of food and the rearing of the livestock.
While the nation states will be debating what can be done to control the situation, there is a simple solution that is being ignored and dismissed due to the politics behind it, and that is the awesome properties and power of the Cannabis plant.
"Hemp is of first necessity to the wealth and prosperity of the nation" — Thomas Jefferson.
Super Crop:
Hemp can be considered a 'super-crop' that has been grown worldwide for at least 12,000 years. It is one of the most prolific, versatile and powerful bio-tools available to humanity to meet the enormous challenges of sustainability, climate change, environmental degradation and the destruction of eco-systems.
There are more than 25,000 known uses for hemp. It produces food, fibre, fuel and has unique medicinal properties. One hectare of hemp can produce as much usable fibre as four hectares of trees, or two hectares of cotton. It is the world's most versatile natural product, potentially replacing wood, cotton, and petroleum products, including plastics.
Hemp grows in a short, flexible, summer window of the annual crop cycle and grows in diverse climates and soil types. It does not require pesticides or herbicides, as it grows tightly spaced, out-growing and blocking out weeds. This leaves a weed-free field for follow on crops while simultaneously conditioning and securing topsoil.
The Billion Dollar Crop:
It was considered the 'billion dollar crop' by Popular Mechanics Magazine in 1937 before the USA began its campaign to suppress the hemp industry. George Washington and Thomas Jefferson both grew hemp. Ben Franklin owned a mill that made hemp paper. Thomas Jefferson drafted the Declaration of Independence on hemp paper. In 1942 when US sources of "Manila hemp," (a genus of the banana plant), were cut off by the Japanese in WWII, the US Army and US Department of Agriculture promoted the "Hemp for Victory" campaign to grow hemp in the US.
Hemp As Bio-Fuel:
According to the IPCC between ten and fifteen percent of total global cropland is available for biomass production specifically for energy and transport. The greatest advantage of hemp cultivation, as a method of climate change mitigation, is the comparative ease with which it could be integrated into the existing fossil fuel economy.
With the ability to be grown at all but the very coldest latitudes, hemp could form the basis of an internationally distributed yet locally produced fuel industry. Hemp-based ethanol would not only be a complementary product to the oil economy (combining ethanol with gasoline increases quality of gasoline and produces significant environmental benefits), but could also be used as a direct replacement because it can be used with existing technologies.
It is also the only biomass crop that can add to the food production of land rather than replacing food production, as other biofuel crops, such as corn, triggered global food riots.
Solution to Agro Forestry:
Hemp cultivation is 400% more efficient at CO2 absorption than agro-forestry per land use. Its rapid growth rate means it can provide the industrial quantities of biomass required in our modern society. Hemp can be processed into multiple sustainable raw materials solutions to suit the needs of local communities wherever it is grown, and save and preserve remaining forest resources and biodiversity.
Hemp is far less vulnerable to changes in climate, compared to slow and medium growth forests. It also shares many of the biochemical characteristics of hardwood and several metric tons of wood can be produced in a hectare, annually or bi-annually in hotter climates.
Growing hemp on deforested hillsides prevents landslides, run-off, and also prepares land for future crops or tree planting. In addition, it requires low-intensive management and can effectively replace all the goods and services traditionally supplied by depleted forest resources including fuel and shelter.
Water Efficient:
An industrial hemp crop (80ha), planted in Nicaragua primarily for seed, survived Hurricane Mitch more or less intact due to its long tap roots and intricate root structures that held the plants securely to each other and the land. Over 60 chemicals called cannabinoids collectively serve to repel insects, improve water use efficiency, prevent water loss and also protect the plant from excessive UV-B radiation.
Compared to cotton that requires about 1400 gallons of water for every pound of produce, hemp requires half that or even less and produces 200-250% more fibre on the same amount of land. The Aral Sea in Russia, once the world's fourth largest inland lake with a thriving healthy ecosystem is now only 15% of it's original size due to the cotton industry and the heavy use of pesticides and herbicides. Hemp in comparison, aerates the land, rejuvenates soil, needs no herbicides or pesticides, and creates a thriving ecosystem.
Hemp as Food:
Hemp protein contains all twenty-one known amino acids, including the eight essential ones adult bodies cannot produce. Proteins are considered complete when they contain all the essential amino acids in sufficient quantities and ratios to meet the body's needs.
It can supply any diet with a vegetarian source of essential fatty acids, antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, fibre, chlorophyll, and a complete, balanced gluten-free source of the essential amino acids.
Hemp is so versatile because, it is seasonal, it increases the nutritional output of the land, it increases yields from other crops in the rotation cycle, and bio-remediates and protects soil, while providing highly useful, versatile biomass and sustainable, biodegradable end products.
The Cannabis plant has been suppressed by the dominating industries that see it as a threat to their monopoly, such steel, pharmaceuticals, cotton, petroleum, plastics and construction. However, it can no longer be ignored as the global environmental crisis we are facing is much greater than the need to profit these unsustainable and destructive industries.
How much longer are we going to sit back and watch our planet go up in smoke while one of the major solutions, Cannabis remains relegated to the sidelines…?
it's time for a Hemp Revolution …

text: Matt from the CPGB-ML takes a look at the way the history of the civil rights movement in America is taught. It is taught emphasising the moderate, and leaving out the revolutionary, so that its true lessons are rarely appreciated by students and in particular, by exploited and oppressed workers. And that is precisely the … Continue reading The US Civil Rights Struggle – Negroes with Guns
