Early this morning we were alerted by our customers that there was a widespread issue affecting our 2006 model Zune 30GB devices (a large number of which are still actively being used). The technical team jumped on the problem immediately and isolated the issue: a bug in the internal clock driver related to the way the device handles a leap year. The issue should be resolved over the next 24 hours as the time change moves to January 1, 2009. We expect the internal clock on the Zune 30GB devices will automatically reset tomorrow (noon, GMT). By tomorrow you should allow the battery to fully run out of power before the unit can restart successfully then simply ensure that your device is recharged, then turn it back on. If you're a Zune Pass subscriber, you may need to sync your device with your PC to refresh the rights to the subscription content you have downloaded to your device
I'm not even going to ask what it means if you are traveling and don't have access to the PC where your Zune normally syncs.
Microsoft also said that "the issue should be resolved over the next 24 hours as the time change moves to Jan. 1, 2009."
Temporary glitch in the matrix is all.
New ways of doing the same old things is sometimes hard to get a handle on. Sharing out printers in the 2k8 era is like that. Since the server is 64bit, when you attach a 32 bit workstation, the native driver isn't 32bit but 64 bit.
One of the ways you can deploy printers is a utility called pushprinters.exe. But there's a problem where the 32bit version isn't on the box. You can either build the 32bit version of Pushprinters.exe or grab it from the link talked about here http://www.activedir.org/ListArchives/tabid/55/forumid/1/postid/32125/view/topic/Default.aspx

Jamison got first hit with the black screen of death of Vista during his vacation. Now he's got two little ones with 30 gigs zunes that he's not looking forward to turning them on and seeing if they work for his two kids for the plane ride back. Ugh. That could be a long plane ride for him.
Major Nelson's twitter feed (1) says the following:
The team is working now to isolate the issue and get it addressed. Keep an eye on http://www.zune.net/en-US/s... <http://www.zune.net/en-US/support> for an update. about 1 hour ago <http://twitter.com/majornelson/status/1088297066> from web
Hang loose and stay tuned to that bat channel.
(1) Okay so when it's a business emergency or an event with announcements that's when twitter makes some sense, but the rest of the time if you want to know what I'm doing right NOW(2), we have an attention deficit problem on our hands. California on 1/1 has even banned text messaging during driving due to the hazard it causes.

As one comment on the post says... all 6 Zune users impacted...
Yup dead as a doornail.
Status: Customers with 30gb Zune devices may experience issues when booting their Zune hardware. We're aware of the problem and are working to correct it. Sorry for the inconvenience, and thanks for your patience!

Indy has a comment that self signed certs are now "more secure" than third party ones.
I disagree. Why? Because we're training our end users to blindly click on certificates. So are you going to sit down with folks and tell them to go ahead and examine each time they use a self signed cert? I don't think you will, but that's what we'll need to ask someone. Can they trust the certificate chain all the way back? Can you train them on what to look for for bad certificates? Granted our best mitigation is to train users to be more paranoid and not blindly click in general.
"Most attack will probably still use bad certificates and ask the user to click "ok" to accept the bad certificate."
So in reading this blog post http://blogs.technet.com/swi/archive/2008/12/30/information-regarding-md5-collisions-problem.aspx before this one http://blogs.technet.com/msrc/archive/2008/12/30/information-on-microsoft-security-advisory-961509.aspx one got the impression that all MD5 based certificates are bad and should be chucked out the window.
Cool we can do that, open up that MMC snap in and TAKE THAT you potentially rogue certs!
1. Add the Certificates snap-in to the Microsoft Management Console.a. Click the Start button, click Run, type mmc, and click OK.b. Click the File menu, and select Add\Remove Snap-in.c. Click the Add button, then select the Certificates snap-in and click Addd. Select Computer Account and click Nexte. Click Finish.f. Click Close.g. Click OK.2. Expand Certificates (Local Computer).3. Expand Trusted Root Certification Authorities.4. Click on Certificates.5. Backup and then delete trusted root certificates that you are not using in your environment.
So we can use this process to also look at EVERY root cert in our trusted store and chuck out the door any cert that is based on MD5 right?
But hang on, not so fast. Some of those certificates are Microsoft ones and in fact per Trusted root certificates that are required by Windows Server 2008, by Windows Vista, by Windows Server 2003, by Windows XP, and by Windows 2000: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;293781 there's a couple of key certificates that one shouldn't export and delete even though they are MD5 based:
That one in fact, happens to be a MD5 based cert.
But what does that mean?
For this particular certificate it means that any new certificates signed by Microsoft with a MD5 hash would be suspect, but they don't sign today's certificates with MD5 anymore. It means that the attack is still very much in the theoretical not the actual sky is falling realm. It still means that we do need to train people to not blindly click on certificate errors. And if you don't understand the full impact, ask smarter people that you, like I did, to explain it in better details.

And if you don't understand the full impact, ask smarter people that you, like I did, to explain it in better details.
So for everyone concerned, the sky is only partially falling today. If you've been reading the security news, you've probably seen the links to
http://www.win.tue.nl/hashclash/rogue-ca/ and to http://www.phreedom.org/research/rogue-ca/md5-collisions-1.0.ppt and to http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/advisory/961509.mspx and to http://blogs.technet.com/msrc/archive/2008/12/30/information-on-microsoft-security-advisory-961509.aspx and finally to http://blogs.technet.com/swi/archive/2008/12/30/information-regarding-md5-collisions-problem.aspx
So what's the best mitigations? Firstly normal godaddy certs are indeed based on Sha1 and not MD5
Next train folks to stop and bad or broken SSL certs. Yes that means buying third party certs for your SBS boxes and not using self signed.
On a related note one of my pet peeves (and one of Darryl Roberts) is when you install an update to the root certificates on your server and then it throws off a Event 36885 Schannel error in your event logs. The 'fix' is to tell you to remove those certificates you don't need. Okay..but.... which ones? There are 219 of 'em, which ones do I not need?
Interestingly enough certs number 5 and 6 in that view are based on MD5, and given that I live in Fresno, not France, so me thinks I'll back those up and export them out since they are based on MD5 anyway.
But if you are seeing the Schannel issue...
Windows Event ID 36885 from Schannel: http://www.eventid.net/display.asp?eventid=36885&eventno=8846&source=Schannel&phase=1
Darryl reported that this hotfix (which isn't just for IAS servers but any server) will allow that repository to increase as it should to hold the proper root certs.
Clients cannot make connections if you require client certificates on a Web site or if you use IAS in Windows Server 2003: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;933430

Mac owners are supposed to be buzz loving, cutting edge, technology loving folks, right?
HP MediaSmart Home Server may get some competition from Apple | 9 to 5 Mac: http://www.9to5mac.com/apple-home-serverSo when a mac web site talks about how the Home Media Server now supports Mac's as a backup-able client as well as integrating iTunes, and the discussion turns to hosted models, notice on that post how many technology loving, cutting edge Mac users are saying "I don't trust the cloud for my data".
So here's a question that's been bugging me about all of this cloud computing stuff. Okay so I'll be the first to admit that I don't do "best practices" when it comes to separation of networks and duties and all that. I don't have my databases restricted from the Internet, I don't have workstations that also deal with SSNs separated out either. But while "they are out to get me", they aren't out specifically to get me. I'll be nailed by stupidity as much as I will be for insecurity.
Fast forward to when yours, mine, and ours is on the web on one set of data centers, won't that be a site that is extremely targeted by every Tom, and Harry hacker? Why try to build malware to go after desktops and capture information when one can put their sights on the Perot Data Centers in Plano Texas (which is where some of my vendors host their servers). There's another fundamental sticky question that everyone is glossing over a bit (in my opinion). The risk of the data all plopped down in one spot (or one distributed spot held by a vendor).
I'm speaking not as a techno geek head here but as a person tasked with making business decisions about my clients' very sensitive (and regulated) data. I'm seeing that many small businessess are careful with their data. To the point of paranoia and want assurances.
So when all of our vendor is housed in Data Centers in Plano Texas, or in Northwest Washington, or in containers in Chicago, they are behind banks of known IP addresses right? And they can't be entirely restricted from access since I need to get to that data myself. So there still needs to be access, data transmitting across lines,
So my question that I don't know the answer to is about risk: When the data is there all in one spot. Can they, with all of their best practices provide enough safeguards that my small pot of data has by being lesser of an economic target. I've also been in situations where I've seen data centers not have transmissions to them protected via SSL. With one particular vendor this has occurred twice. Neither time did this vendor give me appropriate guidance as to whether I needed to disclose this to the impacted clients and I had to investigate on my own. Do I have the right to inspect their external Security audits? Should my clients have the ability to do ask me sticky questions as well?
It's in a vendor's best interests to manage a security incident, let's be honest about that. Will this fundamental issue of clients' rights of disclosure only get addressed via regulation?
Needless to say, it will be interesting as we go forward, fasten your seat belts!

Some of the comments regarding twitter have been interesting to read.
"Twitter tells us what we are doing right NOW". Is it really important that I know what you are doing right NOW? I think I need a life if I'm that into you that I need to know what you are doing every waking moment. Or better yet, you need to be concerned that I'm stalking you and want to know what you are doing. I really don't want to know what you are doing every moment especially if it includes parts of your life that shouldn't be public.
"But companies use it to track users interactions with their products" And that's exactly where I think it makes the least amount of sense. It's a one to one support model in 140 characters or less. Support has to be scalable. It also has to be findable. Right now if you want to keep an eye on potentially trending items in the tech support world there are....
And when in the tweetscan there is a person doing a tweet that needs help from resources that are only in a support channel, tweeting about it is not the most efficient way of getting support. It's a one rant to hopefully someone will read it and reach out channel. That's doesn't scale. It can get missed in all of the tons of areas that Companies need to keep their eyes on. So I'd argue that as a user of the service, your better resources for support are elsewhere.
Does it make sense from a business microblogging standpoint? Arguably, the existing corporate blog can be adjusted to have similar results.
All I'm saying is that don't jump on the bandwagon just because the buzz brigade out of San Jose thinks it's cool. They've thought a lot of products have been cool in the past and have gone on to the next cool thing. As with any platform of communication, whether corporate or personal, does it make sense for you and your audience? If it doesn't, don't do "it" just because someone else is. What is your existing audience or your intended audience's mode of communication? Does it make sense FOR YOU.
And finally, the end of the day Twitter needs to find a business viability plan otherwise it will be not long for this business world. Technology for technology's sake only works for a while, and then if it's not making the bottom line, investors don't care if it's cool, they want their investment back.
The dirty truth about technology is that supposedly "cool" technology doesn't always win. It's the stuff that the beancounters in the budget department approve of. What pays the bills is what's important.

Seriously. Is Microsoft so irrelevant to the world? I'm going to bet that about 90% of you are reading this blog from a Windows platform. And I'm going to bet that regardless of whether you use Chrome, Safari, or Firefox it's installed on a Windows machines. And I'm going to guess that it will take a while for this promise of cloud computing where it doesn't matter what platform one uses will come to pass. Google's chrome in fact is trying to ensure that you use their Chrome browser for their gmail apps. But in all of this irrelvant talk one needs to ensure that we're not in an echo chamber of our own making.
I challenge us all not to get wrapped up the the hype. Don't get caught up in the hype that Windows 7 will solve all the problems of Windows Vista. Don't get caught up in the hype of cloud computing without doing due diligence. Don't get caught up in the hype that your clients will magically trust the cloud for housing all of their data.
Make decisions that make sense for business reasons, not for hype.

But is it leading to a world full of short attention span adults that only read 140 characters worth of words before they go off to the next topic?
140 characters is not much time to develop deep thoughts.

Central Purchasing
Definition of 'Central Purchasing'
A department within a business or organization that is responsible for making all procurements. Central purchasing works with other departments and agencies to consolidate orders for products, and then use economies of scale in order to exact cheaper prices. Additionally, organizations use a central purchasing department in order to simplify a procurement budget or to keep the organization's spending in a centralized location that can be checked for discrepancies easily.
Investopedia explains 'Central Purchasing'
Using a central purchasing department is part of an organizational strategy aimed at efficiency. While consolidating may allow the organization to order goods in larger quantities and reduce costs, it may also slow down the procurement process and prevent employees from getting the materials they need in a timely manner. Centralized planning may result in more bureaucratic red tape that can stymie innovation by preventing emerging departments from obtaining the materials that they need.

CHAPTER Routers 7 NETWORK LAYER As discussed in the previous chapter, link layer systems can interconnect end systems at the scale of a local area network. However, scaling a network built of bridges and switches to global scale is not feasible. The filtering database would be very large, broadcast storms would limit the operation efficiency, and routing would be ineffi- cient due to the spanning tree algorithm. Therefore, it is necessary to use systems that are specifically designed to achieve global connectivity. These network layers systems (or "routers") overcome the limitations of link layer systems. Routers interconnect local area networks, and the resulting network of networks is an Internet that spans the globe. Due to the size of the resulting network, it is important to consider scalability as one of the key aspects of router design.

Pros: Very good card. It does what it is suppose to do. I am very satisfied with the performance. I went with 512MB version since I'm using it with 1680x1050 monitor. It even has an auto-tune feature for automatically overclocking the video card. Card has also been very stable. Glad I made the switch from N_____. Cons: It runs hot. It will easily reach 72-75c. However the latest ATI drivers allow you to set the speed of the fan. With my former Antec P160 case, I use to set the fan to 40%. Temps were around 56-57c. Now with the Antec 1200 I have the speed set to 32% and I get around 52-54c. It all depends on the air flow and room temperatures. Other Thoughts: I will be picking up a second card down the road so that I can use it in crossfire setup. Never done multiple gpu before. Looking forward to it. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
_best_Pros: Silky Smooth gaming. Hammers everythiing i play: Cons: not a power sponge, but at a time when every component on the market seems to use less and less electricity, ati joins nvidia in reversing that trend. Other Thoughts: Fan is not that Loud, think about how your case is built. 4 out of 4 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Pros: Works fine, no problems. Cons: Stock cooler is a bit on the loud side when taken above 40%. Other Thoughts: This was added to my rig to utilize 4870 Crossfire. Haven't overclocked this card yet as I'm waiting on my waterblock for it. Then it should be able to hit 800/3960 like my primary 4870. 4 out of 4 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Pros: Does what I want it to do, which is, play Team Fortress 2, Left 4 Dead, Fallout 3, etc. Cons: Nothing to be critical about yet Other Thoughts: I use to be about getting the best graphics card money can buy, but now I just look for products that get good reviews from sites and such at a more reasonable price. 2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
A good, but standard 4870Pros: A clear improvement over the 8800GT that I had in my rig before. All that 4870 goodness! Not as fast as GeForce 280 and sometimes even with the 260. Cons: Runs hot! (Better get latest drivers from ATI and crank up the fan speed to at least 35-40%) Other Thoughts: Not a bad card to buy if you catch it on sale like I did. It is a step up for you 8800GT or 8800GTS (G92) card owners. 2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Great cardPros: I must, admit, I'm loving this card. As others have said, this does run Really HOT. Once you install it, you will have to download the new drivers and catalyst control center in order to control the fan. Once the fan is ratched up (I put it to 38%) it's fine. You will notice a difference in room temperature, so make sure you have a window or Fan in the room. Cons: I didn't know I needed to download new drivers. Got really hot until I figured that one out. Other Thoughts: May want to D/L drivers before installing. And check out the power requirements as well. You get an INSANE performance, but it does chew up some power. 2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Amazing ProductPros: Wow. All I can say is wow. I went from an HD4850 Crossfire setup to two of these HD4870's and I'm glad I did. My frames have increased by at least 50%. The price for these cards is just gorgeous. I got them when they were $249.99 with the $40.00 Mail in rebate and free shipping. That price makes it a steal. Make the splurge, put in the extra $100 now and get back $40 in a few months and get a card that's a ton better than that HD4850 or 9800GTX+. This thing also mops the floor with the GT260, 216 Shader cores and all. Cons: Pink? C'mon. Isn't there another color you could have gone with? Oh well, I guess I can relish in the thought of pwning someone who just made fun of my pink cards. Oh, these cards do get a little toasty, and thus you must run the fan speed up. The fans are a little on the noisy side, but isn't that why they have a volume nob on your speakers/headphones? Other Thoughts: Thank you Newegg. Ordered this thing on Tuesday, got to me Wednesday. And that was free shipping, too! Thank you Gigabyte for putting such an amazing price tag on a beautiful piece of computer hardware. I guess you could say I'm "egg"sessive =) 2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Awesome When Done RightPros: This card ROCKS! I am pushing over 16000 in 3Dmark 06. For those that complain that this card runs hot, you need to remove the stock HSF and put a Zalman VF-1000 on it. I just ran 3DMark06 in continuous loop for over 2 hours and my max temp was 51C. In 2 mins it cooled down to 38C. Cons: None so far! Other Thoughts: Intel E8500, 4GB Crucial Ballistix, Gigabyte HD4870, 2XWD 500GB in Raid 0, Antec Nine Hundred. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
WOOOWPros: Bought two of these babies a few days ago and put them in my new build, and wow... Crysis all high settings @ ~25-30fps with x4 aa! So much faster than my old 8800gts. Cons: This card runs hot but with the new Catalyst 8.10 drivers from ATI, you should be able to adjust the fan speed and eliminate this. Also, they are VERY LOUD. I can't even play COD4 anymore... its too fast. Other Thoughts: Unfortunately my processor bottlenecks these cards badly, but I'm working on upgrading... Also, Crysis hates crossfire. Hopefully future drivers/patches fix this. Oh well. 2 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Great Price for PerformancePros: Runs most of games i've tried maxed out including AA. Crysis runs on all High fine. Fan speed is easy to change with the 8.10 driver release once you unlock the ATI overdrive setting. Major improvement over the 8600 GT I bought in January just to get my system running. Cons: We know it's going to be a long card. All I had to do was move a HDD over a slot in my ATX Mid Tower case. Didn't fit by maybe a 1/4" before i moved the drive. Other Thoughts: Definately your best buy for a card right now on Price/Performance. Might want to get it while the $40 rebate is in effect, it was a $25 rebate last week :(. 2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |

Limon's goal a few minutes before halftime gave the Patriots a 1-1 tie with the Mustangs entering the break. But Monterey Trail scored back-to-back goals in the second half to give itself a bit of a cushion.
Mendoza then scored 15 minutes before the end to pull Pioneer within a goal. The Patriots' push for the tying goal in the final minutes came up short.
Head coach Anibal Morales used a pair of goal keepers in the non-league match. Esai Guevara played the first half, Salvador Chavez the second.
"I'm trying to use everybody in different spots so I can find the perfect team -- well, there is no perfect team, but I'm trying to find the team I want to use more," Morales said.

Truly Awesome Sex
I had some bi fun as a teenager with mutual masturbation and oral sex by a buddy, but I hadn't thought much more about it for the years after. I have had sexual encounters with many women, been married twice, but only in the past two years have I redicovered the pleasures of receiving and giving oral with another guy. A former coworker called my office one day. He is gay. Using a very feminine voice, he seduced me by phone. We have had many discreet encounters since, sometimes with a third male. It�s been truly awesome sex!

This application is a browser for the Answers content, allowing you to search for specific questions. Once you have made a search, the resulting questions (if results are yielded), will show below the search box, allowing you to select them individually.
Once an individual question is selected, the application displays two additional panels on the right. The top panel will show the full question content, and the panel below it will show all the answers for this question (if they exist).
The Application Setup
The main application sits inside a Flex Panel container, and it could easily be turned into some sort of sidebar widget for a website or blog. In the base state, a simple search form allows the user to input their zip code and whether they prefer to use Fahrenheit or Celsius.
API Communication
With a click of the Get Weather button, we're accessing the Yahoo! Weather API. Calling the getWeather function on the main WeatherService object sends out the request to the server.
When results get returned, the application enters the "ViewWeather" state which removes the search for and adds additional controls for visualizing the details of the current weather conditions. It also adds a New Search button to let the user search again if they wish.
This new state also adds another component to the Panel, the AnswersViewer. Using the description of the current weather conditions, a value such as "Cloudy" or "Mostly Sunny", we send a request to the answers API to find some relevent questions. These questions are then displayed in the AnswersViewer component, and the user may click next and previous buttons to look at each individual question.
The Yahoo! Answers API has many different search options. In our case, we just want to look for a particular word or phrase, so we'll searchQuestionsByTerm with the current conditions as the query parameter.
View this example live in your browser.
Download the Yahoo! ASTRA Web APIs library to access full source code for this example.
Please feel free to dig into the code a bit more and discover some of the other goodies in there. It utilizes many Flex features like states, transitions, history management, input validation, and the AnswersViewer is a simple custom component that might help you take your first steps from a Flex application developer to a Flex component developer.
I recommend looking further into the APIs in this application. The Weather API accepts locations other than US Zip Codes. It's just as easy to learn what it's like in London, England as it is in New York, NY. Perhaps you could expand the application to allow the user to enter a city and state, and a webservice could automatically convert it to the correct zip code. Maybe the AnswersViewer component should be expanded to include the best answer.

typeface: Skitch | color palette: aubergine
2 designs – the client chose the 2nd (portrait orientation)
Which one do you like better?
So, as I mentioned you can select any color palette from design-seeds for your remember the day print or canvas. Well, I wanted to share a few of my favorite palettes that I came across on design-seeds:
Goodness! Any of these would be absolutely GORGEOUS as part of a remember the day!
Talk about a happy 4th of July!
*remember the day*
| fine art print | 8×10″ (design 8×8″) |
| Typeface: Pistilli | Color Palette: Fete |
I am excited to announce that I am not offering a practically unlimited number of color palettes on my remember the day prints and canvases! What do I mean by "practically unlimited"??? Well, when you purchase a remember the day, not only can you pick from my selection of 27 color palettes, but you can select any color palette of your choice from Design Seeds. Design Seeds is the color inspiration blog of designer and color-lover, Jessica Colaluca. Her blog is similar to my Everyday Palette blog entries, only she posts color inspiration at least once, but often multiple times a day!
Head to my *hello there, design* etsy shop to purchase your own remember the day. Then head to Design Seeds to view the endless, beautiful color palette options!!!
Sweet Gothic typeface | Secret Garden color palette

I have been noticeably absent from the blog lately, so instead of prolonging the silence I wanted to report that I will be taking somewhat of a blog staycation. I will still post, but with less frequency than previously and my posts will be smaller (quick little snippets of design, pet, products I love, etc…). So things may look and feel a little different!
Hoping everyone had a very nice Father's Day, whether you spent it with your Dad, someone else's Dad, or your significant other. We spent the day driving home from Phoenix, but I did get to talk to my Dad on the phone. And, in his honor, I had changed my personal Facebook page profile picture to this bad ass photo of him taken in 1969 in San Francisco:
I mentioned a design I was working on that was a Father's Day gift in this post which I had to wait to share until the gift was given yesterday. Well, now I get to share it and I am excited to do so!
First a little back story… some very good friends of mine, Lance and Leslie, adopted a son from Taiwan last August. Lance was also adopted as a small child (although he was born here in this country). Lance was in a foster home and his foster parents fell in love with them and decided to adopt him. On the day of his adoption he was about a year and a half old and his Mom had taken a photo of him on the courthouse steps wearing a t-shirt that said, "Finally I am a Kirk!" (Kirk is his family's last name).
This photo of Lance, taken in 1981 was framed along with a poem called, "Legacy of an Adopted Child". Lance's Mom framed the two and they have hung in Lance's room/home ever since.
For Father's Day, Leslie wanted to take the photo of Lance, the poem, and a photo she took of their son Caysen wearing a very similar shirt and turn it into a piece of art for their home. She wanted something modern and more graphic.
Leslie presented me with some examples of pieces of art that she liked and I set to work on her project. I started by focusing on the type involved – the poem. I played around with typefaces/fonts and layouts for the poem until we found a font and layout we liked. Then, I worked with the photos, which we decided to turn into silhouettes with the letters on the t-shirts showing. Finally, I played around with the layout of all the elements, text and silhouettes. I decided to add in the name, birth date, and adoption date information, and Leslie loved the idea of incorporating that, too.
The last thing we did was play around with color by applying different color palettes to the design. In the end, Leslie decided on a gray and yellow color palette, which I think looks absolutely fabulous. It was definitely the best choice for the design.
Here is what the final design looks like:
The design was printed on fine art paper as a print suitable for framing in an 11×14″ frame. Lance and Leslie plan to frame it and hang it somewhere in their home.
Here is a photo of Lance and Caysen after Leslie presented Lance with his Father's Day gift:
I cannot wait to see this framed. I am so happy that Leslie loved the final project so much, as I truly enjoyed working on it and was thrilled with how it turned out myself!
A quick little note: I am always available for custom projects such as this one or something else you may have an idea for. Please contact me if you would like to discuss a special project of your own!
Remember the Mark Twain bike quote print I told you about? Well, it still isn't up in my hello there, design etsy shop yet, but hopefully will be very soon. BUT, I did make an alternate color scheme for it and there will be a couple more color schemes available as well (yet to be made).
Sign up for my hello there, design email list to be notified when it is available!
remember the day typography designs now available in gallery wrapped canvas!
12×12″ canvas with 1.5″ deep gallery wrap

They did give us a discount on our room.
Would not stay their again. The door lock got stuck and we could not get into our room. In the morning we had no hot water. I called front desk computer showed the room was empty. She did get us hot water. I could not use the internet until 9pm, would not let me on.
Oatmeal,and yogurt for breakfast. The only thing that felt like home. Nice Continental breakfast,minus the "rotten" fresh fruit.
Suppose to have Wifi service,never did get.Daytime Staff wasn't helpful in assisting me either. Your night person did offer for me to use the comptr in lobby,however still wasnt able to get my info. She reeks of smoke. To a non smoker,this was offensive. The freshfruit offered for Breakfast was 3 rotten apples. I was so embarrassed I placed them on the check in counter. The next day it was fresh bananas,however not enough for all the people in the lobby. The hallways had standing puddles of water on top of the carpet.That much moisture, there has to be mold in the summer time.If I had to stay overnight for early flight,Might stay just to have a bed...would be embarrassed to rec. to a friend.
bath room shower needs lots of work
Bed was comfortable, pillows were great, not usually found in a hotel.It was clean, breakfast was nice.
Price for the animals was real pricey, never had to pay before that is why they are called dog friendly. Other wise no complant at all.
My husband had surgery and it was close to the hospital. Had a good breakfast and lots to choose from.
The night clerk was out having a smoke when I got there and had to wait for her to come back in and the side doors of the building where you come in at to go to your room are not locked at night and I beleive that should be taken care of and then use your room key to get in.
The location - close to airport.
The water temp in the shower was not constant.
Very quiet, considering it is right across from the airport. Clean and had a very comfortable bed.
Really in need of updating, such as a Flat Screen TV, new carpet, bathrooms are not nice at all, really need to replace old tiles, flooring etc., although was clean considering the age.
next to airport.i was able to watch the planes take off. (i have loved that since i was a kid) the breakfast was good.
the carpets are filthy you can smell the dirt.
convenient location to where I wanted to go
Large area of carpet in hallway was soaked and actually had standing water in it Room thermostat was set to 80degs with heat turned on, very uncomfortable until we were able to cool it off some Room had a musty smell to it, perhaps because of wet spot or perhaps because the temp control was set so high Very small bathroom space
There are no comments available for this review
Quiet despite being near the airport.
Dimly lit outdoors and very few other guests.

Can chromium picolinate help regulate sugar metabolism?
- Q: I know a 93-year-old woman who has been on 5 milligrams of steroid for inflammable arthritis for a year. She has recently developed high blood pressure in the range of 208/100 and has a cholesterol reading of 232. Could this be from the low dose steroid?
- A: There is a possibility that long-term use of the steroid, even at a low dose, may be causing the elevated blood pressure and cholesterol. However, she should see her doctor to ensure that there isn't any other condition that is causing these elevated readings.

By 1860, almost 1/3 of the population was made up of slaves in the south. Most slaves worked on cotton plantations. The men and women planted, harvested, and removed weeds and other unwanted plants from the land. Teenagers worked in the fields, too. Work for children wasn't too hard. They pulled out weeds, picked insects off of the crops, and took water to other workers. Slaves' lives didn't matter to anyone. An owner of a slave could do anything to them. They thought of slaves as items you buy instead of human beings. If a slave didn't work hard, their owner usually didn't treat their slave well. Some owners treated their slaves well, so they would do good work because slaves were very expensive. Some people did not treat slaves well. They sometimes beat slaves, and they also punished them very badly. The main reason for this is because the owners had complete power over their slaves, and they thought their slaves would work harder if they were afraid of being punished by their owners. The slaves worked very hard, but the owners did not pay them. The owners considered them to be property (not people) that they could treat as badly as they wanted. It was hard to keep a family together for slaves. This was because when slaves got sold, they would most likely get split up and would have to go to different plantations to work. Once a family member was sold away to another plantation, they sometimes would never see their family again. Many slaves wanted to visit their families, but they were too far away or they may not have even known where their family was. Some baby slaves didn't even know their family because some of them were sold right after they were born. To keep the slaves under control, the people of the south made laws about what slaves could and could not do. The slaves could not do the following:
Enslaved African Americans responded in different ways to punishments. Many slaves tried to run away to the north or even Canada. They were usually caught. One of the most daring things that slaveholders were afraid of was when the slaves fought back with weapons. Nat Turner Nat Turner was an abolitionist. He killed many white people because they abused slaves. One person he killed was his owner because Turner was a slave, and his owner treated him badly. Turner led a group of people to help him kill some slave owners because he wanted to get back at them for owning and abusing slaves. This was called a revolt. Nat Turner's mother strongly hated slavery. He was taught to read by his owner's son. Because of the hatred of slavery in his family, Turner started to believe that he was the one chosen by god to lead people out of slavery. Shortly after Turner was sold to the Travis family, there was an eclipse. The eclipse convinced Turner that it was a sign from god for him to start a rebellion. A while after the eclipse, Turner and 60 to 70 other slaves killed 60 white people in Virginia. Turner's owner's family was one of the white families that were killed. More white people were killed during Turner's rebellion than any other rebellion in history. The Virginia Militia caught 20 of the slaves. They were hanged along with Turner. Angry white people killed over 100 innocent slaves because of their anger over Turner's rebellion. The rebellion caused the Southerners to pass strict laws about slaves having under control. Nat Turner is remembered today because he stood up for his individual rights. He believed that other people shouldn't own people. He also thought that everyone should have freedom, not just certain people. Slave Rebellions There were many other slaves that succeeded in revolts, but there were also many who did not. The first major slave revolt in the South was led by Gabriel Prosser, a twenty-four year old slave. Prosser wanted to take the city of Richmond, Virginia by force. Prosser also wanted to arm his rebel slaves. Soon, Prosser had thousands of slaves that had joined him, and he had many weapons. On the day of the revolt, everyone was ready to attack Richmond, but a flood in Richmond destroyed the bridges. The next day, the state militia attacked him, and he and his soldiers were hanged. Slaves had many consequences for trying to rebel. The most common ones were getting killed or thrown into jail. There were many other consequences for trying to rebel that were very painful like getting beaten or whipped. Racist white people acted as though black slaves were not people and as if they came from a different world. What white people didn't see in black slaves is that they were the same as them. Not all white people used to treat black slaves badly, but slavery was the practice of owning another human. Many slave owners believed that they could treat their slaves worse than farm animals because the slaves were their property to treat however they wished. Bibliography Gatell, Frank Otto.

So I'm pretty excited as I've just purchased a slow cooker (easily pleased!!)
But I have no recipes for it so was hoping someone may have some good vegetarian slow cooker recipes they wouldn't mind sharing with me?
Thanks in advance!
There's a big thread under winter Warner recipes, tried to link it to you:
http://www.minimins.com/sw-winter-wa...r-recipes.html (SLOW COOKER RECIPES)
Nothing Tastes As Good As Slim Feels!
Food is for nutrition and not a hobby!
Lost 6 stone in 2010, had my second baby on 27th April 2011 so ready to start my journey to lose this baby weight (+ the extra!) Total = 5 stone to lose.
Update: stayed between 12-13 stone in 2012, now back in 2013 to get to goal!
Restart 30th September, 14st 9lbs, W1 -13lbs, W2 -3lbs
Goal 1: To be under 15 stone - achieved 4th July 2011
Goal 2: To lose 1 stone (14 stone 10bs) - achieved 21st July + 31st may 2012

That's a great investment, I've used a slow cooker for years.
Yesterday I made a chilli (mine was with minced beef but you could use bulgar wheat or quorn mince)
Mixed herbs
Any veg that you like
red kidney beans
Just throw them in a large pan, when hot transfer to the slow cooker and enjoy....
I make a huge pot full and eat some then freeze the rest in portion size pots
Have fun
Hi, new to this forum but I am a veggie so always green days for me! I love my slow cooker, it's such a god send- bung everything in and forget about it for hours! I make...
- mixed bean chilli
- butternut squash chilli
-veggie chickpea tagine
- soups! Cook them in the slow cooker and blend when they're done
- quorn sausage casserole
Thank you! I'm not really a recipe follower but in the tagine I would tend to put chickpeas, squash, courgette, onion, pepper, garlic, passata, paprika, cumin and some harrissa paste!
Chilli would be a basic bean chilli with audki beans, tinned toms, onion garlic, dried cumin, paprika, dried chillies, bit of cayenne pepper and then through in some cubed squash!
I love my slow cooker - great meals that involve lots of super free!! Add spinach at the end of the cooking for a lot of things to up to super free even more!

Harvesting grapes is a tradition that is as old as mankind. Grapes are used for many different things but the most popular are wine and jelly. The harvest is usually early fall but there are some grapes that will mature late fall. The late fall grapes tend to make some of the best and sweetest wine.
Picking grapes is often a tedious process where the grapes are picked in bunches and handled carefully to avoid bruising. Most pickers will have buckets and scissors that are used to cut the grape bunches off the vine. After all of the grapes are picked they are often taken to a pressing area where they will be processed for their final destination.
When grapes are pressed they are placed into a presser that takes the grapes and smashes them into small pieces. In years passed this method was done by workers using their bare feet to stomp the grapes to extract the juice. Some places in the world still use this old tradition but for sanitary reasons most places now use a grape presser to extract the pulp and the juice. Often the workers will line the bottom of a grape press with sackcloth to make sure they get all of the juice extracted without all of the seeds and pulp getting into the juice.
There are many different types of grape pressers but they all achieve the same thing. The ultimate goal is to get as much of the juice out of the grape as possible.
Juiced grapes are very similar to those that are pressed. The home winemaker probably will not own a very elaborate grape press because of the expense involved. The press is usually found in wineries where large quantities of grapes are pressed. The home juicer may use something as simple as a potato masher to get the juice out of the grapes. There are also home pressers that will extract the juice and leave the pulp, seeds, and skin behind. These are usually cranked by hand and can become quite tedious if there is a large quantity of grapes to be juiced. It is a great way for the home winemaker to get the most amount of juice out of the grapes.
Pressing grapes at home will allow you to get the full benefit of the pressed juice without all of the additives that come in a kit. Kits are a great way for somebody to get started and learn what they are doing but kits are rarely natural and have additives and preservatives that are not found in juiced grapes at home. When you juice your own grapes you have complete control of the ingredients you put into the juice.
Winemaking is a fun hobby and offers some great benefits for the home winemaker. By making your wine at home you will have a healthy alternative to the processed wines that are found in stores. Most people also agree that wine made at home just tastes better than wine bought from a vendor.
