India celebrates Mother's Day
It is time again to dedicate the day to mothers as the world with India is not left behind in celebrating Mother's Day on Sunday.
The day witnesses honouring of mothers and motherhood, maternal bonds, and the influence of mothers in society.
Mother's Day is the occasion to make mothers realize once again the important role she plays in the life of a child in rearing him to a matured human being.
On this Mother's day, popular search engine Google on Sunday marked the day with a colourful Doodle on its homepage.
The non-interactive doodle shows a mother enjoying a bike ride with her children.
The doodle, when clicked, takes the visitor to a Google search result page for Mother's Day.
The celebration of Mother's Day began in the United States in the early 20th century. It is not related to the many celebrations of mothers and motherhood that have occurred throughout the world over thousands of years, such as the Greek cult to Cybele, the Roman festival of Hilaria, or the Christian Mothering Sunday celebration (originally a celebration of the mother church, not motherhood). Despite this, in some countries Mother's Day has become synonymous with these older traditions.
The day provides every child an opportunity to make his/her mother feel special for the crucial role she plays in his/her life.
However, since ages, a debate prevails on whether any particular celebration is required to mark the day.
Reena Basu, a housewife in Kolkata says, "I have two daughters and I know they love me every single day of the year. I never felt the need of any particular day being dedicated to me by my daughters."
While, Swapna Bhadra, a school teacher in Asansol says, "Like we celebrate our birthday, Mother's Day is also a special day for me. My children makes me feels like an angel on this day."
Another Kusum Sinha said, "I have a son and I do not believe that there is a need to observe a day like this. I believe that this relationship is unique and unparalleled and celebrating it separately is pointless."
Similarly, children have their own views regarding this day.
Abhiroop Bhadra, a senior Finance Professional based in Delhi says,"Well I don't feel that there should be any single day named as MOTHER"S DAY because everyday we have our mothers beside us. Without her my life would surely have been different. I have fought with her, at times I have been real bad, but nevertheless we love each other a lot..My mother has made sacrifices for my family and especially for me so that I became what I am today."
Srijoni Basu, a class 10 student in Kolkata says, "I feel this day should be celebrated. We should make our mothers feel happy and special on this day. They spend 365 days round the year for us to become a good human being, Can't we dedicate this one day to them?"
While Maya Sen said, "I can gift my mother on any day or make her feel special everyday. So I don't believe in celebration of motherhood on any particular day."
From presenting her a small gift as a token of love to taking her out for a family dinner, one can attempt several ways to make the day really special for his mother.
Mother's Day has got a commercial angle too and various companies are banking on this opportunity to popularize their products and services, albeit with discounts and special offers.
Hotel Sahara Star, the flagship hotel of Sahara India Pariwar, recently declared a memorable treat for moms with a lavish buffet brunch hosted at its F&B outlet EarthPlate, on Sunday (May 11) to mark the Mother's Day.
Meanwhile, Arthritis Foundation of India (AFI) and Smith and Nephew have joined hands to generate awareness about osteoarthritis and associated pain to mark Mother's Day.
While children explored theirs ways to impress their mothers, celebrities took it to Twitter to express their views.
Actor Neil Nitin Mukesh tweeted: "On this beautiful day I pray to God. That SHE is my Mother in All My Lives. I Love You Maa. Happy Mothers Day."
Actor Rajat Kapoor posted:"..and i am already sick of all the mush that is flowing towards mothers today!"
Actress Sridevi Boney Kapoor wrote: "Wish all of you a very Happy Mother's Day! #HappyMothersDay"
Posting a picture with his mother, director Madhur Bhandarkar tweeted:"Youth fades; love droops; the leaves of friendship fall; A mother's secret hope outlives them all.Happy Mother's Day!"
Industrialist Raj Kundra wished: "Happy Mother's Day to all the lovely mothers in the world. Who said God doesn't exist?? Ma Tujey salaam xx"

Getting swanky in a suit
A trend I am really loving right now that popped up on runways round Europe: a good ol' suit. There is seldom better than a suit, whether it be hanging on a wall all felt n' shit, on a super tall model rocking the Céline Pre-Fall runway, or on you or me, though we do prefer the former because well, you are cooler than me.
Céline Pre-Fall 2012 (photo credit nytimes.com)
Let's get down to business because you and I both know that these said suits you see at the recent runway shows came from none other than an artist first. This one goes to Joseph Beuys because he is the genius who thought to hang a felt suit on a wall and call it art. I thought of it first, but we'll credit him because it was 1970 and I was but a brilliant egg.
Joseph Beuys Felt Suit, 1970
Two other designers with particularly cool runway suit moments include Alexander Wang (dududuh), a little Giles for shock value, and a number from Mary Katrantzou's Spring-Summer 2012 collection because color is hot hot hot and you know, it's not even February.

Green Poblano Rice (Arroz Verde al Poblano) Reviews
Epicurious | October 1996
reviews & comments (51)
This recipe was awesome--so much better than rice I've eaten at many Mexican (or TexMex) restaurants, especially that nasty red mushy rice. I wasn't sure why the flavoring had to go through a strainer, so I used the liquid as well (I figued that is where a lot of the flavor was), and it turned out great. We can't wait to make it again.
My husband is a cilantro hater, so I split this recipe in half and made one with, one without. It was delicious either way (although better with cilantro if you like it). We'll be making this again and again.
I really loved this rice. I roasted the poblanos the night before. Simmered it in a cup of veggie broth and 2/3 cup of water. I did not puree the mixture (I wanted the chunky peppers) I didn't add any cilantro until the end and only about a tablespoon. I did not want the cilantro flavor to be dominant. I also added a cup of corn at the end...gave it nice color. I will definitely make this many more times. Maybe a few more peppers next time to increase the spice!!
Very nice rice dish to serve with any red sauce based mexican dish. The spice and heat should be in the entree not the side (rice) in true mexican cooking.
I'll make this again and again. In my world it's impossible to have too much cilantro, and this recipe, with its delicate cilantro flavor and aroma, really hit it with me. Just the right side dish to accompany your entree, not overpower it. Could certainly be made fierier, depending upon the tastes of your guests. Doubled easily and I plan to take it for my contribution to mexican potlucks from now on. Easy, too!
Given some of the comments from previous cooks, I doubled the chiles and cilantro, which gave it a fanstastic kick. I also charred the chiles before I seeded and chopped them. After sauteeing the rice, I baked it in the oven directly in a chafing dish insert. I served it with chicken mole, jicama and lime salad, and mexican wedding cookies. Guests asked to take home the leftovers. This recipes triples nicely, and baking it in the chafing dish made it "buffet ready."
This is an excellent accompaniment to TexMex or Mexican food. Better and different from the orange stuff that is served with Mexican food so frequently. If it looks like a lot of work, cut out the straining part. I have no problem with whipping all the flavoring ingredients into the blender or food processor and cooking the rice without straining it. The texture is fine and I'm a very fussy cook.
This was a big hit with my vegan brother in law. Very flavorful, pretty, and tasty. I roasted the poblano's first, probably helped spice it up a bit.
This was a disappointing dish. Not flavorful at all. Doubt I'll make it again, but if I do, I'll definitely add serrano or jalapeno chiles because otherwise, it would have no flavor. Also, it was not very green, another disappointment.

Long before the Orbit gum commercial made the phrase famous, we were thinking the same thing—and asking ourselves how such a simple dish could be oh-so-satisfying.
To borrow a phrase or two from a rather brilliant ad copywriter, only a cootie queen or a real son of a biscuit-eating bulldog couldn't love French toast.
Aside from being comforting, cozy, buttery and crisp, French toast is an economical breakfast dish with universal appeal. It not only makes ample use of stale bread you might otherwise be tempted to toss, but it technically requires only two other ingredients to call itself breakfast: eggs and milk.
And French toast has endured. Nearly every breakfast-eating culture in the Western world claims a version, and here's the kicker: in France, it's not called French toast. It's called pain perdu or paine a la Romaine, the "bread of the Romans." But any way you slice it—be it as a serving of Poor Knights of Windsor with jam or a plate of eggy Spanish torrijas drenched in honey—French toast is a simple, satisfying base upon which to build a delicious breakfast. You can dress it up practically any way you like, from sweet to savory, stuff it cheese and top it with fruit, or even make a sandwich out of it, a la Monte Cristo.
If you're open to suggestions, here are a few of our favorite French toast recipes—so good everyone (even lint-lickers) will find one to love.
—By Stacey Norwood

Japanese breadcrumbs known as panko make baked French toast extra crispy.

Andhra CM begins silent protest over Telangana Bill at Jantar Mantar
Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Kiran Kumar Reddy and his ministerial colleagues from the Seemandhra region began a sit down protest at Jantar Mantar today to oppose the creation of a new state of Telangana.
Earlier in the day, scores of pro and anti-Telangana protesters broke into a scuffle outside Andhra Bhawan over the Telangana Bill, which is expected to be tabled in the current session of the Parliament.
Supporters from both sides of the divide were holding the protests outside the Andhra Bhawan when the scuffle began.
The Centre is determined to introduce the bill in Parliament.
Describing Telangana issue as 'vital', Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh on Tuesday said the government will be presenting a bill relating to the creation of the state of Telangana in Parliament.
"There is the vital issue of Telangana and we will be bringing a bill before the parliament for its approval. I sincerely hope that after a long debate extending over many years, the house in its wisdom will be able to pass the bill relating to creation of state of Telangana," he said.
"This is going to be the last session of the 15th Lok Sabha. There are important legislations pending for approval by the parliament. There are several important legislations relating to the anti corruption measures," Dr. Singh added.
The Andhra Pradesh Assembly had earlier rejected the draft Bill to create a separate Telangana state.
On December 5, last year, the Cabinet cleared the Parliamentary bill for bifurcating the Andhra Pradesh to create a separate Telangana state, with 10 districts. In July last year, the ruling Congress party approved the creation of a new Telangana state, which had raised fears of violence in the area.
The proposal was received with mixed emotions across the state, with various politicians starkly opposing the bifurcation.

As is the annual tradition, we thought we'd share what Clara and Burger are going to be for Halloween this year, especially since I DIYed Clara's costume for the second year in a row (without crying or cursing!) and I love how it came out. At first when we asked her what she wanted to be for Halloween she said "a lawyer!" True story. And we laughed and pictured her walking down the street with a little briefcase. Then a few days later she said "I want to be a jellyfish!" So asked her a few questions like "what color jellyfish do you want to be?" and that's when she came out with her full request: "I want to be a pink jellyfish… and I don't want to be a regular jellyfish, I want to be A FAIRY QUEEN OF THE JELLYFISH!" So here's where we ended up.
I just decked out a clear umbrella with some pink tissue paper, fabric ribbon, and that thinner plastic ribbon that you can curl with a scissors. And then John added some battery powered cold-to-the-touch LEDs to make it glow (tech nerd hubby FTW). Clara could not be more smitten (this is her attempting to hug her costume). Burger, by contrast, abhors his, but we'll get there in a second.
As for how I made it, first I hit up Sir Google to check out other jellyfish costumes (guys, there wasn't a single Slutty Jellyfish costume, which was both comforting and surprising). As for the costumes that I did find, some were of the stuffed hat variety (like this) and others were made from umbrellas (like this), which I thought was a good choice for Clara because she could hold it and swing it around if she wanted, but not have to worry about balancing it on her head like a giant hat. So we grabbed a clear umbrella at Target.
The first step in my umbrella-to-jellyfish conversion was sticking some pink tissue paper into each of the umbrella's panels (those metal arms held each triangle of it in place) so the entire thing wasn't see-through. I did this because I wanted the bottom to be clear so Clara could walk and see, but thought the top would look more jellyfish-ish if it were more solid. Next I tied some long strands of thick fabric ribbon around each of the spines inside the umbrella that holds it open so those could hang down around Clara. I saw all sorts of fun tentacle ideas when I Googled (using bubble wrap, ribbon, fabric strips, etc) and loved them all, so I decided to just work with the things we already had around the house (like ribbon leftover from this tree) and see how things went.
Lastly I just cut a whole bunch of long pink lengths of curl-able plastic ribbon (the one umbrella-decorating item that I ran out and bought for $1.50 at Michaels) and tied them to each of the metal spines (I did six lengths of them hanging down on each of the eight spines). Then I dragged the edge of a scissors down them after tying each one in place to make them curly.
When Clara came home from school and saw it, oh man, I wish I had it on video. There were lots of wows and even a coveted "it's AMAZING!" Then John added his little battery powered LEDs (fairy lights he found on amazon for $6.99) and Clara really went wild. Since it gets dark so much earlier these days we actually think they'll come in handy. Just look at them glow in the darkest spot we could find in our house: our closet.
It's a bit ambitious to think that Clara will hold the umbrella the whole time, but she gets to wear a little costume of her own (just a fun tulle skirt that she got for her birthday and other general fairy-slash-queen-ness) so in the event that she's over the umbrella she'll still have her fairy costume to go door to door in – and heck, I might just tuck a wand and a crown in my purse for added bling. Yes, I still use that word.
As for Burger, well, he's never a fan of anything on him. Ever. This goes for all sweaters, boots, hats, and costumes. So he was not amused when he magically became a seal thanks to this costume that we found at Target. We just couldn't resist – especially since it's a tradition to dress him up with Clara every year (heck, we've been dressing him up since way before she was born). We joked that he just needed a crown and a scepter so he could be a King Seal to match Clara's royal sea-creature status. Still kinda bummed Target didn't carry the lobster or shark costumes they had in previous years, but he does make a pretty cute seal.
And maybe we have it all wrong. Maybe Burger loves costumes. Because he certainly seems to take immense joy in shimmying around to wriggle out of them. Wish we caught that on video too.
And this year John and I actually have a costume party to attend, so after a little "uh… what should we be?" pondering, we came up with a theme of our own. Some people say that I look like Kahleesi from Game of Thrones (and who am I to argue with the idea of dressing up like a chick who HAS DRAGONS?). So a cheap blonde wig from Target and a green dress that I already had (you might remember it from Clara's party a few years back) became my
somewhat completely ridiculous costume…
Oh and I used a strategically placed ten cent placemat from a yard sale to make a gold belt and some little shoulder things. You know. For flair.
I just snipped it in half and cut off the curved part at the bottom and used the green rope belt that came with my dress to hold that in place in the front like a big ol' gold front plate or something. As for the shoulder things, I just cut the remaining part of the placemat in half to create little triangles that I could tuck under the straps of my dress and pin them to keep them there (forgot to get a detail shot of those for ya, but you can sort of see them peeking out from behind my wig in the full shot above). Overall, it was really easy and only ran me $9 for the wig and ten cents for the placemat.
But I might like John's "costume" most of all (ok, it's tied with The Fairy Queen Of All The Jellyfish) because it's so him. Keeping with the Game of Thrones theme, I actually proposed that he be Khal Drogo (to which he responded "have you seen me?") so then I suggested Littlefinger (hello, he'd get to sport a mustache). He went silent for a second and then said "I have a better idea." Any guesses?
Yup, that's his pun-tastic interpretation of Jon Snow. Since he looks nothing like the character, he figured "well, I'm already John, so I'll just wear a wooly hat and add a big ironic snowflake to my shirt or something and poof: I'm John Snow." Not sure if it would pass muster at Comic Con, but it cracks me up. And if nothing else, at least the background of his photo brought of touch of Winterfell to it. Yes, that's a deer just grazing about ten yards behind him.
As for how he made his shirt, it's just white duct tape on a blue t-shirt (so he can peel it off and still wear the shirt the rest of the year when he's being John Petersik).
It was pretty funny watching him place each strip of tape in the mirror… whilst wearing the shirt. I think he's nothing if not dedicated (my version of a snowflake would have a lot fewer line segments).
We're pretty low key about this stuff, so admittedly nothing that we made is super intricate, but we think it'll do the trick nicely for the costume party. Now to figure out what dish we'll bring. Ahh!
Also, if you watch Game of Thrones, this ridiculously inappropriate dubbed video of other things that match up with their lips has us walking around saying "Are you a fan of the pikachu?" and "I'm working on a gravity belt."
Oh and the buggy pumpkins! Here they are. No, they didn't get infested or anything, I just love unusual pumpkins and Clara loves bugs, so she helped me turn one into a spider and the other one into a caterpillar. Here's how they started out (we got them here because they looked so bug-like, which spawned this paint-job idea).
I loved them as-is (yes, I truly adore oddly shaped pumpkins just as they are) but I couldn't resist having some fun with Clara and some paint. So here they are after a laugh-filled little painting sesh with the bean:
She painted the spider with some craft paint (I just told her to go to town on the top and we left the bottom orange since we thought that would make it look more leggy and creepy – just like Clara likes 'em). Meanwhile I added a little dot for an eye on the caterpillar and swiped my paint brush around it to quickly make some rough little wrinkles, like the sections of a caterpillar. When they dried, we added some little painted on eyes to Clara's spider (she loved the idea of four of them since I showed her a picture online of a real spider with four eyes) and we called them good.
We still have to grab some pumpkins to carve (there's a field trip to a pumpkin patch with Clara early next week so we've been holding out for that) but one thing's for sure. There will be some last minute pumpkin seeds baking at our house (mmm, my favorite). What are you guys doing with pumpkins and costumes? Let's hear it.
Psst- For anyone who wants to walk down memory lane and check out C & B's costumes for the last few years, here's the post about Jesse & Slinky Dog (my first attempt at homemade costumes).
And here's the dynamic duo as a monkey & banana.
And here's their very first Halloween together as a hot dog & hamburger.

LOVE the jellyfish – my favorite Clara costume yet! :) So cute and creative!
Clara's costume is AWESOME!!! I LOVE IT!
Clara's costume is genius! I think I've found my costume for this year!
Possibly my favorite post to date haha. Sherry you look amazing in that costume! And Burger killed me, as well as Clara in her jellyfish costume.
My dog Lulu is going to be a cheerleader with a blonde bob wig with bangs and everything lol!
Ok, I cracked up at you not finding a single Slutty Jellyfish costume in your search. Girl, you're too funny.
Clara looks like the perfect queen fairy jellyfish. Glub glub :)
You guys are hilarious. You do remind me of Kelisi (hope I spelled that right) and John's costume is right up my alley. The baby bump is also adorable too! You look great.
This post made my morning, especially since we had some crazy crying going on at our house from 3-5 am.
One of those making crying sounds will be a scare crow this year. Super easy, super cheap, super simple to put layers under.
I had wanted to make her into a Crazy Blue Beetle, a la Caspar Babypants and for my hub and I to be Cricket the King and Lady the Bug. Not this year… maybe next year (before she can tell us what she wants to be)!
I was gonna guess mermaid at first for you Sherry (the color of the dress masked me think of that). But I can see you as Daenerys. In a non creepy way to say this, I think you both have similar mouths which makes for the resemblance
I choked on my breakfast when I saw Sherry. So funny!
I looove your costumes! I totally want to be a jellyfish fairy this year. You should use the umbrella just like that all year round. It's adorable!
Sherry – I like you as a blonde too. You definitely pull it off!
Love all the costumes! I like Halloween just for the fact that it's the only socially acceptable time of year for adults to dress in costume. (Well, except Comicon or Ren Fest – but those kinda have to be themed costumes.)
This year I was going to be Jessie from Toy Story – but, alas, no adult-size red cowboy hats! At this point I'm thinking of going super-creative with face paint to look like a Picasso painting.
Ummmmm…..Mardi Gras??? I promise it's not all boobs, beer, and beads. 95% of the boobs/drunks are in the French Quarter. The majority of the parades are *extremely* family friendly!
Sadly Mardi Gras isn't much of a thing where I live. But we do get people dressing in all manner of craziness for road races, so there's that. :)
LOVE them all! Burger looks thrilled lol. Chuy Chihuahua is the same way about clothes. He runs away as soon as I pull out his bucket of costumes. HA!!!
Love it! I also have a party to go to this year and almost considered being an adult sized jelly fish but ended up going for something else insteead. Also, I LOVE your necklace, I'd love to know where it's from!
That is sweet! Friends are the best! It's super cute and definately your style!
You guys blow my mind with these costumes every year! I can't wait to see Claras's glowy jellyfish in action. And I'm so glad you two got in on the action this year! Sherry, its sick how gorgeous you are. Is there anything you can't pull off?! #jealous #dragongoddess
Hahahaha! I almost spit out my coffee on my keyboard giggling at that visual.
HAHAH Sherry, BEST story.
I am not sure if someone else asked already, BUT can you please take a picture of the glowy-ness (thats a word, right?) of the costume on Halloween night? I love the addition of the lights. Super creative kid you have! Probably my favourite costume yet! Though I do like burger as a banana.
I am being the Paper Bag Princess (I know it's been done… but it will be fun and I thought of the best costume but need time to prepare it, so I already have my ideas for next year)!
Awesome post guys!
I was going to say the funniest thing (that I love most about these pics) is that you're in the backyard, in the woods. I was secretly hoping that a neighbor or the FedEx guy would see you posing (as this would inevitably happen to me if I did the same!) That is hilarious!
Holy crap Sherry, you totally do look like Kahleesi! Love the costumes. You look cute with your little bump ;)
The question is, How do you feel about guys who say haidukan? (My twin and I also can't stop repeating these lines to each other.)
Yes! You totally look like Kahleesi!
Although to be fair, when I first saw her on Games of Thrones, I told my hubs that SHE looks like YOU, since I "knew" you first.
love the costumes! and i love that you don't just go out and buy stuff…homemade is where it's at! =)
here's my no-fail recipe i bring to almost every party and everyone always LOVES it. and you can make it more 'halloweeny' by using string cheese on top to form into a spider web.
The lights on the umbrella – NAILED it! I liked it before, but I loved it after seeing that. You two are too creative. I hope you all have fun!
Love the jellyfish! Such a great idea! And love your costumes too. Every year when I see Halloween posts on American blogs I wish our little country would hurry up and fully accept Halloween (it's growing, but mostly for children). I want an excuse to dress up and to decorate the house with creepy stuff too!
They probably would! Typical dutch saying: just act normal, that's crazy enough.
But I might start decorating the house. Maybe that will start a trend (I know my neighbor would be in for it).
I feel the same way Gertrude! We are Americans living in Australia and it is slowly developing here, but not fast enough for me! I do my bit each year by decorating my classroom top to bottom and having a Halloween themed week. My kids have fun, I love it win/win!
HA! Cute! I love ingenious ideas like that. Last year my then two year old was the alphabet. I just cut a bunch of felt letters and stuck them to him with Velcro circles.
Then that witch Sandy hit and Halloween was canceled. BOOOO!
This year he is Iron Man & his older brother is Jango Fett – which we bought on clearance last year. Should I say the Force was with us? No, that is probably too lame…. :)
You guys are amazing! I absolutely love Clara's costume and you are a VERY convincing Kahleesi!
Yew know nuuuthhhinnn John Snow! The only thing better than the khaleesi would be her. :)
That jellyfish costume is awesome! So cute! And you guys look great, so creative.
We're kinda going with an ocean theme this year too, our little 9 month old is going to be an octopus. My husband has a love/hate/admiration relationship with squids/octopi, lol. :)
Sherry, you should just go full burlap bikini. Authenticity, you know?? :)
I snort laughed at John Snow at work. So clever!
The Khaleesi cosume is awesome but I think you need a dragon to carry around… or tape to your shouler or something :)
You'll have to name that baby Trogdor (that's from Strongbad, on Home Star Runner…not sure if I'm the only dork who knows about this).
@Gilly –
Totally agree. You're not the only Homestar dork reading this blog, at least.
But where are you're dragons?!?! You should use a couple mini ones to purch on your shoulders – like the ones you used at Clara's party. And I had no idea what John was at first but it is puntastic. love it.
Oh, my word, that jellyfish costume is so adorable. She is indeed the fairy princess of jellyfish! I love how Burger was transformed into a seal, too. He is mighty handsome.
Be watchful for candles in pumpkins with Clara's jellyfish!
I thought you were a mermaid to go with the jellyfish….probably because I don't know that character. But I just googled her and holy cow…what a resemblance! Great job!
OMG. Clara's costume is adorable. That is just so cute.
And you totally look like Kahleesi in that picture. Although, if you really wanted to drive the point home, you could just carry stuffed animal dragons around. lol
"We shouldn't have eaten Kitten meat.." Hilarious! I can't stop laughing. And I'm pretty sure the word for your costume and stance is "Majestic" lol. Happy Halloween!
I LOVE THE JELLYFISH COSTUME! It's so cute and so easy to make!
As I am sporting a pretty big bump myself this year (8 months preggers), I think I am just going to use some white duct tape (or maybe paint) and a black shirt to turn myself into a pregnant skeleton, ala this: http://www.pinterest.com/pin/37928821834921667/
I also love the bad lip reading of Game of Thrones.
Not just a jellyfish, but FAIRY QUEEN OF THE JELLYFISH — OF COURSE!! love it!!
Chattanooga's aquarium has a GREAT permanent jellyfish display, btw. And super family-friendly town ;-)
Go jellies!
SOO CUTE! Love love LOVE the Jelly Fish! How clever to make use of the umbrella that way! I hope could be that creative when I have kids and make their costumes. It just seems more meaningful with DIY than storebought!
And i'm a Game of Thrones geek so I love the Dany and Jon costumes, as I guessed your costumes skimming your pics before I even read the post! (And, embarrassingly i should admit that I have Jon Snow wallpaper on my work computer). I laughed at John's snowflake T-shirt. We're not doing anything for Halloween, but if i were to dress up i'd go as Fat Amy (Pitch Perfect) or a Walking Dead zombie (and make my husband go as Rick Grimes or Darrell Dixon).
Sherry's Twilight Buddy from DC,
Clara's costume is super cute and yours is awesome! John's was definitely a mystery to me! My girl wanted to be a black cat this year which is super easy to throw together! I am thinking about being a gray mouse to go with her costume. And that bad lip reading of Game of Thrones is hilarious! Eager for it to start back up! We are watching The Walking Dead right now!
Love!! Awesome, awesome, awesome, awesome – all four of you! You look so Kahleesi-tastic Sherry!
My niece went as a jelly fish last year and I thought it was so creative – Clara's version is so cool too!! Happy Halloween :)
Totally diggin' the Jellyfish (!!!) – however, as a mother of three little girls who constantly gets "the fever" (especially just coming home from Target) and having to resist the urge because prom and weddings and clothing in general x3 – your bump is adorable and I'm jealous. That is all.
Clara is THE BEST fairy queen jelly fish EVER! Love that you make your own costumes each year. So much more affordable and creative than store bought costumes!
After reading your blog for quite some time this is my first comment. I had to tell you I LOVED this post. So funny, 'real' and original. It made me smile and got me feeling "creative", two main reasons why I read blogs. Thanks for sharing and have a great Halloween!
What a cute jellyfish. Love all the tentacles. You and John look pretty cute too. We had a Trunk or Treat at our church earlier in the week and we did a really easy trunk with a Pet Shop theme. You can check it out here: http://controllingcraziness.blogspot.com/2013/10/trunk-or-treat-pet-shop-edition.html
Oh, and we still have yet to carve our pumpkins that have been sitting on our porch for almost 2 weeks. But we did paint 3 little ones (one per kid) and put them in the window.
Such awesome costumes! My group of friends takes Halloween very seriously (one girl had her husband, a tech-y guy, create a working game of Operation as her costume. It was awesome) so I will be going as a rain storm. It's kind of complicated, but I'm using paper mache on balloons, covering them with pillow stuffing, and putting glittery rain drops on string at the bottom. I am also thinking of making a seriously crazy rainbow fascinator/hat. Gotta win the costume trophy (not kidding, we really have a trophy) this year!
Love the jellyfish!! Makes me wish I had a girl :)
My boy put in his request sufficiently early and it got the friendly-happy-costume stamp of approval from me, so we whipped up a bald eagle. Pictures/full reveal coming on the blog this weekend!
I have not seen the hotdog/hamburger costume set before. How adorable! I may have to share with family for a new nephew. But, I really, really love the jellyfish. Maybe because it's colorful and whimsical and your sweet little daughter's parents listened to her and made her exactly what she wanted.
My daughter wants to be a magician this year. Other than the standard hat, cape, bunny rabbit, let me know if you have any creative thoughts?
Love that your love of home renovation is also evident in your costumes!
How about the old "scarves up the sleeve" trick too?
Magic wand!
What a cute costume idea!! :) And that is so crazy, I never really thought about it, but yea, you do look so much like the khaleesi!!
That youtube video?? O.M.G I soooo needed a good laugh today!!
Cute costumes…. love Clara's umbrella. Loved seeing their past costumes also.
My parents bar that I work at ~ this year the theme is Cartoon Characters ~ I'm going as Cindy Lou Who, my sis is The Grinch, and my Mom is Olive Oyl. HA!!!
I love those costumes! The LED lights on the the jellyfish costume are such a genius idea!
My kiddos are dressing up as a cowboy and and Indian, although now I wish there was some way to add lights, it gets dark so early and our neighborhood has no street lights :(
How about giving them some glowstick bracelets or necklaces? Our neighborhood doesn't have streetlights either, so I'm passing out glowstick bracelets instead of candy (and also fake mustache tattoos, because awesome).
I love how creative Clara is! I'm looking forward to the costume ideas my son comes up with when he's older. Since he's only 15 months right now mommy is still picking his costumes – this year he's going to be an ewok!
Great job on your homemade costumes! You all look great!
Clara's jellyfish costume is ADORABLE!!! And kudos to John for the LED lights….what an awesome idea.
Sherry, I think you look awesome too!
Khaleesi and Jon Snow! Love it! And of course, Clara and Burger are as adorable as always. Harper is going to be Cinderella but she had originally suggested either a rainbow unicorn with wings or a flower. The dog does not participate in the Halloweening…although she does enjoy a dog sweater. :-)
Amazing jellyfish costume!

Good thing I'm not drawing a shitload of SNK WIPs/Sketches I will
never ever finish.
All I want is a happy Eruri wedding: Beautiful bride Erwin wearing the most gorgeous dress, dancing with his handsome tiny husband. /sobs
The 3DS Miiverse is great! ´7`
If you wondered why I'm not updating my art blog:
I'm too busy drawing naked snk baby sketches. (too lazy for clothes.)
But really I'm just having a massive art block, finishing anything would be really nice for a change. (something wearing clothes.)
Did I mention, Eruri is my new OTP? It's my new OTP. (With or without clothes.)
Late villager appreciation sketches.
Definitely my favourite AU ever. It's so freaking adorable, I literally can't.
I think Meulin has no official aquariumstuck mertroll design yet, so I tried to make her some kind of sea lion mertroll.. with cat stripes and patterns that are based off her skirt. Aquariumstuck. (◡‿ ◡✿)
Had to upload again because tumblr messed up. >A<
drawings in which I shamefully misinterpret the characters for my own sick pleasure. Yay, elementary school TF2.
Young Medic \o/
First time drawing TF2 characters. Good idea to do it without references. D:
Archimedes, you psycho bitch.

Afghan coppers trained with Playmobil
In case you ever wondered just what kind of preparation Afghan police recruits get in order to prepare them to face the Taliban, rest assured they're offered the very latest in high-tech training technology. BrickArms' Toy taliban figure For proof, check out the fourth snap in this slideshow from FOCUS online. Regular readers …
Never mind picture #4....
...Let's hear more about pictures 1 and 2 in the slideshow, please!
Never mind 22nd Aug what about the 20th ....
Picture #4 - NSFW
You just cannot make up this kind of stuff!
This is not a title
I like the highly detailed building model in the background.
.. in a british training class they are still trying to implement a 2million pound database to better keep an eye on who enters and leaves the room.
In other news...
British police have to use Lego:
If the rioters are kids then shouldn't they have used Duplo?
So this is what Lester does on his days off
But what will they do if they're attacked by Optimus Prime?
So does this demand a real world reenactment?
So does this demand a real world reenactment or it didn't happen?
(shouldn't we have a Playmobile icon?)
Makes sense actually
If you need to have cheap, robust models, Playmobil isn't a bad choice. The selection is good and you can get them in every toy shop.
Those scenes were for training purposes so you can build a new scene and hand the trainees the figures and make them set up a checkpoint or something.
Playmobil figures are big enough to be seen from the back rows.
Never mind Germans grow up with Playmobil so it's a pretty natural choice if there are no special models to be used instead. Many adults and all kids have some around.
Ceterum censeo we need that Playmobil icon.
Not training...
Clearly they are using the figures to play some variant of Warhammer. The one in front is a lone standard bearer, who appears to be the sole survivor of a unit of Dwarves backed up by tanks proxied by police cars...

October 16 2013| Filed Under » Fundamental Analysis, Solvency Ratio
Solvency ratios are primarily used to measure a company's ability to meet its long-term obligations. In general, a solvency ratio measures the size of a company's profitability and compares it to its obligations. By interpreting a solvency ratio, an analyst or investor can gain insight into how likely a company will be to continue meeting its debt obligations. A stronger or higher ratio indicates financial strength. In stark contrast, a lower ratio, or one on the weak side, could indicate financial struggles in the future. Read the rest of this entry »

A company's balance sheet provides a snapshot of the assets it owns, liabilities it is responsible for, and whatever might be left over when subtracting assets from liabilities that represents owners' capital or shareholders' equity. Combined, an analysis of a firm's balance sheet indicates its financial strength, whether it can meet its obligations and how it grows owners' capital. Below is a more detailed analysis of the asset side of the equation. Read the rest of this entry »

In rather significant fashion, the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis recently announced a change to the way it estimates gross domestic product (GDP). The change reflects the inclusion of research and development (R&D) as an investment or asset in the economy. The term amortization is an important concept to intangible assets (such as R&D or a trademark) and reflects the fact that intangible assets have value that must be monitored and adjusted for over time. Amortization helps take care of this, and we explain it in more detail below. Read the rest of this entry »

Most investors avoid trying to value financial firms due to their complicated nature. However, a number of straightforward valuation techniques and metrics can help them quickly decide whether digging deeper into valuation work will be worth the effort. These straightforward techniques and metrics also apply to insurance companies, though there are also a number of more specific industry valuation measures. Read the rest of this entry »

The main purpose of equity valuation is to estimate a value for a firm or security. A key assumption of any fundamental value technique is that the value of the security (in this case an equity or a stock) is driven by the fundamentals of the firm's underlying business at the end of the day. There are three primary equity valuation models: the discounted cash flow (DCF), cost and comparable approaches. The comparable model is a relative valuation approach and is explained in more detail below. Read the rest of this entry »
August 08 2013| Filed Under » IPO
Through an Initial Public Offering, or IPO, a company raises capital by issuing shares of stock, or equity in a public market. Generally, this refers to when a company issues stock for the first time. But as we will see below, there are ways a company can go public more than once. The IPO process is the locomotive of capitalism. This is because throughout history, the IPO has let the investing public own a small share in many companies that have grown large and hugely successful since they first went public.

On the face of it, figuring out how a bank makes money is a pretty straightforward affair. A bank earns a spread on the money it lends out from the money it takes in as a deposit. The net interest margin (NIM), which most banks report quarterly, represents this spread, which is simply the difference between what it earns on loans versus what it pays out as interest on deposits. This, of course, gets much more complicated given the dizzying array of credit products and interest rates used to determine the rate eventually charged for loans. Below is an overview of how a bank determines the interest rate for consumers and business loans. Read the rest of this entry »

Back in 2008, Warren Buffett made a bet with Protégé Partners, a fund of funds hedge fund manager, that the S&P500 would beat a group of hedge fund managers selected by Protégé. The bet officially started on January 1, 2008, and runs for a decade, ending on December 31, 2017. The performance is being measured by netting out fees, costs and expenses that go into running the hedge funds. Buffett made the bet to prove his contention that hedge funds underperform due to the fact that "costs skyrocket when large annual fees, large performance fees and active trading costs are all added to the active investor's equation."

An academic study, published several years after the peak of the dot-com bubble in March 2000, accurately described just how whacky internet valuations grew until the bubble burst. The study's first sentence basically stated that valuations lost touch with reality. During the internet frenzy, there was mention of "new economy" stock references to new valuation zones that should be considered reasonable. At the time, valuation metrics included measures such as customers per click, measuring "eyeballs" or time spent visiting a website.

The father of value investing, Benjamin Graham once wrote that making money on investing should depend "on the amount of intelligent effort the investor is willing and able to bring to bear on his task" of security analysis. He defined the intelligent investor as an enterprising individual that has the time and energy to do his or her own investment research. In contrast to the intelligent investor is the defensive investor who would prefer to have another individual pick stocks, bonds and other financial assets on his or her behalf. Hiring a financial advisor is certainly one alternative, but most retail investors (and also many institutions) prefer to hire a manager through the purchase of amutual fund. Below is an overview of when it might be a good time to invest through the purchase of mutual funds.

The sell side and the buy side together make up both sides of Wall Street, a term that is meant to generally refer to the investment profession. The buy side is denoted by its lack of affiliation with investment banking and the raising of capital for firms; it is left to investment functions such as picking securities and more general financial planning functions.

To get ahead as a financial analyst, you must become very skilled at using past information to make a reasonably accurate prediction of the future. When it comes to analyzing a company, successful analysts spend considerable time trying to differentiate between accounting items that are likely to recur going forward from those that most likely will not. A key part of this analysis is to understand items that qualify as extraordinary items or nonrecurring items. A savvy analyst will separate these items from recurring ones, and will stand a much better chance at predicting the future than one who simply looks at the bottom-line earnings companies must report in their financial statements.

Many financial services firms try to help investors by sharing their opinions on a mutual fund. In a nutshell, they do a decent job of accurately rating a fund based on its past performance. The downside to this method is it isn't a good guide to future performance. But can using other information really make better predictions on future fund performance? At the end of the day, there is some value to the approach that fund raters take to rating mutual funds. Investors should use this data as a starting point and combine it with some factors noted below for a more holistic approach to weeding out fund losers from the winners. Read the rest of this entry »

P.J. O'Rourke once famously quipped that giving money and power to the government was like giving whiskey and car keys to a teenager.

Below are some of the noteworthy pieces of financial advice from American leaders and other high-profile individuals throughout history.

Money center financial titans Wells Fargo (NYSE:WFC) and JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:JPM) were among the first banks to report second quarter earnings results. Wells continued to be a standout, due in good part to minimal investment banking and international market exposures. Its current valuation also suggests there is minimal downside to owning the stock, as well as some additional, albeit modest, upside potential in the coming few years.

Money center financial titans Wells Fargo (NYSE:WFC) and JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:JPM) were among the first banks to report second quarter earnings results. JP Morgan's results weren't much of a surprise given it disclosed a huge trading loss prior to the end of the quarter. However, its ability to absorb the loss was surprising, and the bank has largely seen a recovery in its profitability from the depths of the credit crisis. Based off of negative sentiment, the stock could still rally.

Charitable organizations survive primarily from the donations they receive from organizations and individuals. For most charities, the holidays, and especially in December during the Christmas holiday, are among the most active from a donation perspective. This leaves roughly eleven months to get creative and find other ways to make money, aside from simply relying on the generosity of others. Below are five important avenues for charities to bring in money and make their donated dollars stretch further.

John C. Bogle, the founder of investment management firm Vanguard, has estimated that the investment industry collectively shaves around 3% from stock returns each year. This stems primarily from the fees it charges for managing assets for individuals and institutions. Bogle has also openly questioned the value of actively managed funds over index funds. Exchange traded funds (ETFs) are another low-cost way to invest primarily in passive, indexed strategies. Not surprisingly, Vanguard was founded on low-cost index funds and has moved into ETFs, as have most other well-known firms in the industry.

Slower economic growth is causing companies to get more creative in finding ways to grow value for shareholders. Some are looking to acquire market share or spin off divisions that have less appealing growth potential. Others are looking to overseas expansion and exposure to faster growing emerging markets. Fewer are looking to merge with archrivals, but it could represent a unique and compelling way to cut costs and combine resources committed to pursuing the same mission. Below are three pairs of rivals that operate in very similar businesses but are struggling to grow on their own. To revive their fortunes, they might want to swallow their pride and merge their operations.

Amoruso, Salvatore and Bruzzese, Riccardo (2009) Double pulse ultrafast laser ablation of nickel in vacuum. [Pubblicazione in rivista scientifica]Full text not available from this repository.

We have studied ultrafast laser ablation of nickel using a pair of identical ~250 fs 527 nm laser pulses separated by ~1 to ~1000 ps. Scanning white light interferometry was used to measure the ablated volume, and an ion probe was used to measure the angular distribution of the ablation plasma plume and the total ion emission. As the delay of the second pulse increased from ~10 to 100 ps the ablated volume decreased by more than a factor of 2; indeed it falls to a value below the single pulse case. Conversely, it is found that the ion yield is sharply increased in this delay regime. It seems that both these features can be explained by the interaction of the second laser pulse with the ablated material produced by the first pulse.

Best chip--blue corn!!
We absolutely love your products and I aam addicted to the peanut butter crackers. I am a migrainer and sometime can not take the time to eat a full meal. The crackers give me just enough to continue working until I can stop to eat . I think they also help with weight control because they keep me from over eating when I do eat.
Keep up the good U. S. made products
I have to tell ya,,, I happened upon the Dude Ranch and Sea Salt chips at a local TJ Maxx store. The are both FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!! I was shocked at how flavourfull they are and even more surprised at their nutrition value. I liked them so much I went back to the store to purchase more to find sadly that they are out of stock. Thank you for sharing such a wonderful product with the world.
just purchased a couple of bags of 'how sweet it is sweet potato chips' from 'publix' here in royal palm beach, florida and i must say that your product is the best i have ever tasted and i am over 50 yrs old so i have eaten alot of chips in my time! congrats on excellent healthy ideas and you have earned a new customer! andy in florida
Your chips are hands down, the absolute BEST that we have ever had, anywhere in the world! We also live in PBG, FL and bought them in Publix. You really should also get them in Trader Joes and Wegmans. We are so impressed with the quality and taste, we'd do a free commercial for you!

Okay so I followed this video about foreshortening and…
Sycra. I love you so much for making this video.
Since all my braincells seem to be devoted to school right now and none of the asks in my inbox are jumping out at me, I thought I'd answer this one with a quick tutorial.
I did some anatomy. Full view to see my tiny, tiny notes.
it's always hard for me to remember this so, reblogging for everyone else like me :C
All right, here's my contribution to the art tutorial infographic world, part 1 of 2. I've noticed that even in professional illustration, so often the humans and environments and armor and whatnot is really, really great— correct anatomy, lighting, proportions, like 'wow this is fantastic WAIT what is up with that HORSE?'
I suspect two things;
First is that I spend 15 hours a day, 365 days a year looking, touching, handling, and just generally being around horses.
Second is that most people do not.
Artists have lost touch with their connection to horses as contemporary society has lost touch with them. Generally, we don't have that constant presence of horses in our lives that previous generations did, as horses aren't part of the everyday landscape any more. They don't work the fields, they don't cart the goods, they don't deliver the mail or transport you to the next town down the road.
However, we still see horses all the time— in movies, books, illustration, ads and logos, we are presented with the image of horses all the time. So we assume 'yes, I have seen horses often and I know what they look like.' Because of our exposure, we as artists don't always feel like we need to heavily reference the animals as if we were drawing something we don't see everyday (say, like elephants or giraffes or sea cucumbers). Our brain just kind of plugs in 'horse shaped' and we go with that.
And I suspect that ends up being where a lot of these common mistakes occur. Dogs are familiar, but we can easily find a dog to draw from live, to see the way the shapes of its face are put together in 3-dimensions. Cats, humans, birds… if we venture just a little ways outside our studios (or in some cases, inside), we can find live models to study easily.
You can't really do that with horses. They're a commodity, sequestered away behind fences on private farms and shuttered away in barns. So few people really get the chance to be up close and have that hands-on experience to really learn how a horse is put together.
So here's some things, based on my own experience both drawing and working with horses, that might help you if you find yourself needing to draw one for yourself.
The approach I took might be more complicated than absolutely necessary, but I tried to present the subject of 'how to draw horses' a little differently than I've seen it done before. I hope someone finds it understandable, and more importantly, helpful!
If you share this, please don't delete my commentary about it above. Thanks :3

Youth, beauty, popularity
Love, freedom, popularity
I wonder if this is as hard for you as it is for me…
sometimes i check who liked my facebook profile picture to see who i would save in case of a school fire
You deserve someone who loves you with all their heart, someone who will think about you everytime, someone who will be wondering every minute of the day what you're doing, where you're at, who you are with, and how you are. You need someone who helps you make your dreams come true, and make your fears go away. You need someone that treats you with respect, who loves you like no one no matter your flaws. You should be with someone that knows how to make you happy, really happy.

When it comes to flying cars (or driving planes), the recent vehicle that most often comes to mind is the Terrafugia Transition. But that street-legal flying car has experienced years of delays, and the Aeromobil 2.5, a much sexier-looking flying car designed and built in Slovakia, recently made its first test flight.
It may seem like the Aeromobil made a quick entrance, but company co-founder and chief designer Štefan Klein has devoted 20 years to its development. The 2.5 in its name means that it's the prototype of the third-generation Aeromobil - development of 1.0 started in 1990, and it looked much different from the current prototype. It has collapsible wings that are swept back for driving duties and unfolded for flight.
Using a steel frame with a carbon-fiber body, the Aeromobil 2.5 weighs 992 pounds empty and has a rear-mounted propeller powered by a Rotax 912 engine. In-flight maximum speed is claimed to be more than 124 miles per hour, though max speed on the ground drops to more than 100 mph (Aeromobil hasn't released exact numbers). Flying range is claimed to be 430 miles, and the driving range is limited to 310 miles.
Watch the Aeromobil 2.5 make its first, short test flight in the video below, and be sure to visit the photo galleries we included - one which contains images of Aeromobil 2.5, the other which contains renderings of Aeromobil 3.0.
