When I started my blog and shop in November of 2011, I did it because I am passionate about crafting and all things handmade. Crafting has brought me so much joy over the years. Making something with your own two hands enriches your life and just makes you feel good. I want to share my crafty knowledge so others can experience that joy.
I did not start my business because I was looking for a way to spend more time staring at a screen. Yes, I have to be here to write, but lately I have also spent a ridiculous amount of time promoting my blog and shop on social media with limited results.
The reality is, I could spend my entire day promoting my work on social media and still not reach every potential reader and customer.
If I want to create quality content for my blog and quality patterns and products for my shop I need to spend more time in my studio and less time in front of this darn computer.
Over the last four and a half years I have written and self-published 30 knitting patterns. Some are for sale in my shop and some are free here on the blog. My July blog break gave me the opportunity to reform those patterns into a book. Yeah, I'm writing a book!
Right now it's at 118 pages and my husband and I are in the process of editing. Fingers crossed, The Chilly Dog's Big Book of Knit Patterns will be available on my shop's virtual shelves this fall as an e-book.
All work and no play makes Ellen a dull girl. Luckily, I got to spend over a week traveling through Scandinavia with my favorite person. Hubby and I did a tour of the capitals of Sweden, Finland, Denmark and Norway. The weather was fantastic, the food was delicious and the people were friendly.
Of course I brought some knitting with me, but overall it was a nice escape and a relaxing adventure.
Wait. WAIT! There is no "Reboot" in the title of this post.
When I decided that needed to re-balance my routine with less screen time the Tech Gods frowned down on me. One morning in early August, just as I was reaching the final pages of my book, my computer (that is less than three months old) refuse to turn on. No matter how many times I pounded on the power button... the screen... remained... dark.
Luckily, the repair is completely covered by the computer manufacturer's warranty, but (with terror in my heart) I shipped my computer halfway across the country to be fixed. Yes, I have a hard copy of the book, but I had spent hours making edits that I had not yet backed-up.
As I wait for the return of my computer I am in limbo. Blogging is not easy on a borrowed laptop and I don't want to invest time to redo book edits that are hopefully intact when my computer returns. So for now, everything is kind of on hold in my world, but hopefully I'll be up and running at full speed soon.
Thank you for your ongoing support and encouragement!

Like this article? rabble is reader-supported journalism. Chip in to keep stories like these coming.
Thomas Mulcair's stand against a 'niqab ban' at citizenship ceremonies didn't cause the NDP to lose the election. For the NDP to have defeated Stephen Harper and the Conservatives, they needed to launch a focused attack against Harper's "fear and loathing campaign" -- as dubbed by Mulcair.
Instead it was Justin Trudeau's highly visible and aggressive rallying against the niqab ban as part of the "politics of division and fear" that secured the Liberal victory in the last two weeks of the campaign.
In his post-election interviews, Mulcair says that his principled stand against the niqab ban was the defining moment of his political career. The NDP should be proud of its opposition to the Conservatives' package of Islamophobic policies rolled out after the October 2014 Parliament Hill shootings.
Mulcair named and led a vigorous opposition against the Conservative agenda of fear and loathing in all of its forms: military intervention in Iraq and Syria, stripping citizenship from "terrorists" (Bill C-24), spying on "terrorists" (Bill C-51), Barbaric Cultural Practices Act, and the niqab ban.
When Harper singled out mosques while referring to radicalization on February 2, Mulcair named it as "a form of Islamophobia, and it was wrong."
The Liberals let themselves be cornered into voting for Bill C-51 and the "Barbaric Cultural Practices Act." The NDP had been in a distant third place in the polls, but their opposition to the fear and loathing campaign sparked their rise in the polls past both the Conservatives and the Liberals.
On February 6, a federal court ruled that Zunera Ishaq could wear her niqab at her citizenship ceremony and Harper announced on February 12 that he would appeal the ruling, a move immediately denounced by Trudeau. A full week later, Mulcair finally weighed in, "For years I've seen that Muslims are often scapegoats in political debates. And I find that upsetting. The government's appealing, but as far as we're concerned, the Federal Court got it right."
The Bloc Quebecois went after the NDP, running TV ads against them in Quebec by February 26: "Do you have to hide your face to vote for the NDP?"
It was clear to many journalists that Harper had crossed a line into dangerously racist territory and that it was likely to backfire politically.
"With their seemingly popular niqabs-and-anti-terror package, Conservatives are essentially fronting a watered-down version of the Parti Québécois' 'values' campaign with a war bolted on. The values charter was popular in the polls, and so was the PQ. And when it came time for Quebecers to vote, it was no help to the PQ at all," wrote Chris Shelley in the National Post on Feb 26.
Trudeau's campaign against the "politics of division and fear"
On March 9, Harper filed the appeal on the verdict on the Supreme Court case that challenged the citizenship ceremony niqab ban. The same day, Trudeau delivered a speech at McGill University about diversity and liberty, much of it a philosophical argument against Harper's Islamophobia. It touched on key themes that Trudeau would use in his closing argument of the fall election campaign:
"Mr. Harper and I disagree fundamentally about many things. None perhaps more so than this: Leading this country should mean you bring Canadians together. You do not divide them against one another. Fear is a dangerous thing. Once it is sanctioned by the state, there is no telling where it might lead. It is always a short path to walk from being suspicious of our fellow citizens to taking actions to restrict their liberty … we should all shudder to hear the same rhetoric that led to a 'none is too many' immigration policy toward Jews in the 1930s and 1940s, being used to raise fears against Muslims today."
The NDP continued its clear opposition to Harper's campaign of Islamophobia. "Mr. Harper specifically singles out mosques. That leads to Islamophobia," said Mulcair.
"He's basically trying to say that anyone who opposes Bill C-51, or the government's agenda, is a terrorist. That's basically what he's saying," said former NDP MP Paul Dewar. "If I was a Muslim Canadian, I would be very, very, very concerned about where our prime minister is going with this hot-button race rhetoric," said NDP MP Charlie Angus.
"If the prime minister was hoping to create a wedge issue with his remarks about niqabs and the Muslim faith the heat on Parliament Hill today might suggest success," was Peter Mansbridge's March 12 opening line on CBC's The National. Mulcair continued to speak out strongly against Harper's racist and reckless pursuit of a maximally divisive wedge issue, designed to inspire fear in the general population at the expense of a minority group.
"I know Mr. Harper is trying to hit every single red button on his dashboard, but it's not working," said Mulcair on March 16. "I think Canadians can see beyond this fear and loathing campaign that he thinks is going to be a winner for him. It's not the Canada I live in, these are not the Canadians I speak to."
The NDP's queasy opposition
The niqab ban as a wedge against the NDP started to show signs of success. A few NDP MPs in Quebec publicly broke from the party's position. MP Alexandre Boulerice said on French TV on March 5 that he was "totally uncomfortable" with public bureaucrats wearing a niqab.
A week later, Mulcair addressed his remarks and countered that the real test of whether you believed in the Charter was if you still supported peoples' rights and liberties even if something makes you uncomfortable.
The issue returned to the headlines in September when the Federal Court of Appeal rejected Harper's appeal. Some journalists felt that the NDP was waffling on its position, but in the first French-language leaders' debate on September 24, Mulcair held firm: "We should strike against the oppressors if you think there's oppression here. But it's not by depriving these women of their citizenship and their rights if you want to help them. You're playing a dangerous game here, Mr. Harper."
Between the two French debates, the NDP numbers declined further, especially in Quebec. The NDP decided to moderate their tone. Mulcair would admit that he was uncomfortable, but that it would be a waste of taxpayer dollars to challenge the court ruling.
During the second French debate on October 2, Mulcair said, "The way Mr. Harper says it, it's like there are people here that are pro-niqab. No one here is pro-niqab. We realize that we live in a society that requires that we follow the rule of law, even if the practice is uncomfortable to us. Mr. Harper, you are playing a dangerous game of the kind I've never seen in my life."
With the NDP playing defence in Quebec, the Liberals gambled that most voters were sick and tired of Harper's racist campaign, especially in the riding-rich urban centres of Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver.
On Sunday, October 4, the Liberal campaign bussed Liberal Party members from all over Ontario to an arena in Brampton for a huge TV ad shoot. Trudeau gave a speech entirely focused on unity in the face of the divisive policies of the Harper government. "My vision of Canada is open and confident and hopeful! ...For 10 years, Stephen Harper has never missed an opportunity to divide Canadians. The politics of fear and division. Fear of the world beyond our borders, fear of each other...We have a chance to beat fear with hope." The speech was turned into a television ad released in time for the Thanksgiving weekend.
Despite record-breaking fundraising, the NDP did not release an inspirational television message for the long weekend to close the campaign. During the same period in the 2011 campaign, Jack Layton's inspirational message of hope was the most successful ad in the NDP history. Instead, they missed Thanksgiving weekend and debuted their final ad on Monday October 11. The ad was an attack on the Trans-Pacific Partnership free trade deal.
By campaigning opportunistically on taxing the rich and deficits, the Liberals moved from a distant third place in August into a three-way tie by September. By hammering home the message that they were the polar opposite to Harper on the niqab they took the lead in October and won the election.
This was part three of a three-part series: "How the Liberals outflanked the NDP on the left."

Parenting is the most challenging job you will ever have and can truly be the most rewarding. It is often those things that push us to question our perceptions, thoughts, and our own values that help us grow into stronger and wiser human beings.
As humans we are cursed and blessed with the ability to reflect on our thoughts and feelings, unlike animals. As a result, we are often able to make changes for the better and improve our relationships with others and ourselves.
In raising our children we have the opportunity to develop new insights and perspectives, if we take the time to reflect on and consciously choose our parenting strategies.

Over the last month or so, I've been working away on a behind-the-scenes project related to Alphabet Glue. A few times I've come really close to telling you all about it, but I managed to keep the secret to myself long enough that now I get to make a big, fun announcement: Alphabet Glue for iPad has arrived!
When Dan first suggested that I make the magazine available for iPad, I will admit that I wasn't super excited about the idea. Initially, I wasn't sure that an iPad app was a good fit for a publication that is all about making things with your hands, holding a book in your lap and in short, turning off the computer to get in some good, old-fashioned crafting time with the littles. But the more that I thought about it, the more that I realized that the way that families are relating to the digital world is really undergoing a shift right now. More and more, I know families that use things like iPads to be able to quickly reference digital resources of some type before shutting it off and going analog again. Rather than being tied to the household desktop computer or hauling the laptop from room to room in the house, it seems like a lot of the parents that I know are using more portable devices in an attempt to be more efficient and thoughtful about the time that they spend online. And, I can certainly support that idea.
And, of course, there is also the paper-saving aspect of the whole deal. For families who would rather print fewer pages, the app creates a really easy way to reference lists and tutorial instructions from wherever they may be working on projects, while only printing out the pages that are really needed or wanted for a particular project. Plus, I will not lie to you, Alphabet Glue looks really pretty and sparkly on the iPad screen. So there's that.
So, people of the iPad persuasion, head on over to the app store and check out Alphabet Glue for the iPad Newsstand.
For those of you who like to go it PDF style, you can still (and always!) download the magazine by visiting the Alphabet Glue page here on the blog, or by visiting the Alphabet Glue website.

Skip to 0 minutes and 28 seconds I like animals very much and enjoy the experience to be in their company. What has always struck me is how contradictory our relationship to animals is. There are those we love, those which provoke anxieties, and those that some of us eat.
Skip to 0 minutes and 52 seconds And all three attitudes are not necessarily logical or everywhere the same.
Skip to 1 minute and 0 seconds I am Jakob Zinsstag, I am a veterinary epidemiologist. Together with Esther Schelling and Bassirou Bonfoh, whom you will meet later, I shall introduce you to the principles of One Health.
Skip to 1 minute and 16 seconds One Health is a concept that takes into account how humans and animals relate to each other specifically in health care. This course invites you to consider why doctors and veterinarians should work closely together. In other words, we are convinced that the closer cooperation between the health systems for humans and animals would be an added value when we think of global improvement.
Skip to 1 minute and 49 seconds Now, the first thing we need to observe is that we differ in our attitudes towards animals, depending on our origin, our beliefs, or personal predilections. And our attitudes towards the different animals are sometimes irrational. It helps to keep this in mind. It helps to retrace one's experiences with animals.
Skip to 2 minutes and 19 seconds As a boy, I had cats. I loved to play with them, especially with the baby cats. But I also liked the dog we had. The dog loved me. When I sat down, he would put his head on my knee expecting to be stroked. Later, I took him with me when hiking through the Swiss Alps.
Skip to 2 minutes and 46 seconds As a young lad, I worked a lot on the farms of my mother's family. I helped milking the cows and goats. When my brother became a sheep farmer, I also herded his animals for him. I also assisted when animals were slaughtered. I felt sad when their life was taken away. However, I eat and enjoy meat. Even if I think we should eat it with moderation. Death and killing are also elements forming my experience with animals. When we lived in West Africa, we kept rabbits. One night, a middle sized python strangled one. I killed the python with a gun.
Skip to 3 minutes and 36 seconds I was very much afraid it could strangle one of our then small children who used to play in the garden.
Skip to 3 minutes and 47 seconds Fear was also an element of the encounter with a poisonous spider. When I opened our laboratory one fine day, a very large tarantula dropped on my hand. Luckily, I was fast enough in removing my hand to prevent its bite.
Skip to 4 minutes and 11 seconds There are a lot of stories like this. I realise I live in close companionship with some animals, I work with some others, I eat some of them, and I'm afraid or even disgusted by others.
Skip to 4 minutes and 31 seconds Now think about this. How would you categorise your experience with animals? We look forward to read your comments!
Love, fear, eat. Our complicated relationship with animals
In this video Jakob Zinsstag introduces the topic of the course. You will discover that the relationship between humans and animals is manifold.
Have a look at the farm of Jakob Zinsstag's cousin in the Canton of Jura, Switzerland. Different animals create different feelings: there are those we love, some provoke fears and others will be eaten. Jakob Zinsstag shares the personal experiences he has had with animals.
How do you categorise your own experience with animals? We look forward to reading your comments.

This is worse than it looks - keep in mind that the later the IPCC version, the longer the period of time where the models in question are 'tuned' to mimic past real world observations.
Thus the IPCC 2007 output differs from the IPCC 1990 output in that the intervening 17 years of data is used to additionally tune.
Despite that, the real world continues to diverge further away from the more recent projections.
Note also that the real world data used is GISS - which shows temperatures significantly warmer than the satellite data sets.

Jersey Anglican Church abuse accuser needs 'closure'
21 September 2014
A Jersey human rights campaigner has said the woman at the heart of an investigation into abuse allegations within the Anglican Church wants to put the matter behind her.
Bob Hill, a former politician, said the woman, known as "HG", has been left out of discussions and investigations.
Jersey's Anglican church split from the Diocese of Winchester over the matter.
The Bishop of Winchester, Tim Dakin, is reviewing the report about how the complaint was handled by the church.
Mr Hill said HG is "fed up with the way in which she has become a political football".
"What she seeks now is closure, but she cannot get that closure until the reports have been published, if indeed they are ever going to be published," he said.
The vulnerable woman, known as "HG", made an abuse complaint to church authorities in 2008, sparking a lengthy controversy which ultimately led to her arrest and deportation from Jersey.
Bob Key, the Dean of Jersey, was suspended and subsequently reinstated over his handling of the original complaint.
High Court judge Dame Heather Steel wrote a report on the investigation of the handling of HG's complaint.
The report has not been made public or sent to the authorities in Jersey.
Jersey churches 'must keep paying Winchester diocese'
Jersey church abuse complaint report 'should be made public'
Woman in abuse inquiry 'insulted and damaged' by bishop's comments
Bishop of Winchester apologises to Jersey 'abuse victim'
Protecting Jersey vulnerable 'a priority', Bishop of Winchester says

Help your non-active friends remove the FarmVille application.
We all have friends who have installed Farmville at one time or another and then end up quitting the game. But since they might be real life friends, we do not want to delete them from our friend list. Here are some directions to remove the application.
This will help players in a few ways. The non-actives will not appear on the gifting lists, so there will be no chance of wasting the limited gifts. Truffles will not go unreturned, and those names will not appear on the Daily Good Deeds list.
The non-players will benefit by not having any more Farmville game posts in their news feed, and will not run the risk of being deleted by their game-playing friends out of frustration.
- If someone changes their mind and wants to play Farmville again, they can add it back with two simple clicks. Everything will be just as they left it because the game progress is saved for 6 months.
Step 1 Go to Account then Application Settings.
Step 2 Click the "X" to the right of Farmville.
Step 3 Click Remove.
Step 4 Complete by clicking Okay.
Now Farmville will no longer be on the Applications list, and it is removed.
To block unwanted Farmville gifts, go to the Games link on the left side of the home page.
Click Block Farmville, then Okay.
Another method is to go the the Facebook Farmville fan page, and click Block Application.
- To reverse this, go to Account, then Privacy Settings/Block Lists.
Click Edit your lists and scroll down to Blocked Applications.
Click Unblock next to Farmville.
Thanks for taking this idea into consideration, and please share with your friends!

25 Reasons Why Perl Keeps Rising in the Enterprise
25 Reasons Why Perl Keeps Rising in the Enterprise
by Darryl K. Taft
Perl Comes off the Wall
Perl was originally developed by Larry Wall in 1987. Version 1.0 released to the comp.sources.misc Usenet newsgroup on December 18, 1987.
The Camel
Originally the only documentation for Perl was a single man page. In 1991, O'Reilly published Programming Perl (the "Camel Book") which became the de facto reference for the language.
The Active State of Perl
ActiveState was the first company to introduce Perl on Windows in 1997.
Theres More than One Way to Do It
The Perl language is intended to be practical—easy to use, efficient, complete—rather than beautiful (tiny, elegant, minimal). According to Larry Wall, Perl has two slogans: "There's more than one way to do it," commonly known as TMTOWTDI. The other is: "Easy things should be easy and hard things should be possible."
Check the Linguistics
Wall was trained as a linguist, and the design of Perl is very much informed by linguistic principles. Examples include:• Huffman coding (common constructions should be short). • Good end-weighting (the important information should come first). • A large collection of language primitives.
Support for Text
Originally developed as a general-purpose Unix scripting language, Perl now provides powerful text processing facilities without the arbitrary data length limits of many contemporary Unix tools to facilitate the easy manipulation of text files.
Perl Is Sticky
Perl has proven to be important for Webmasters, system administrators and programmers whose daily work involves building custom Web applications or "gluing programs" together. Hassan Schroeder, Sun Microsystems' first Webmaster, said of the language: "Perl is the duct tape of the Internet."
Whos Down with OOP?
Perl does not enforce any particular programming paradigm (procedural, object-oriented, functional and others) or even require the programmer to choose among them.
Perl Is Multiplatform
Perl applications run on Windows, Mac and Linux, as well as big iron systems such as Solaris, AIX, HP-UX and legacy systems such as OS 400, OS/2, VMS, BDS and many others.
Perls Recent Release History
Perl 5.6 - March 22, 2000 Summer 2000 - Development of Perl 6 was announced. Attempts to change Perl 5 in any major way were forthwith redirected to the Perl 6 project, as Perl 5 was now supposed to go into maintenance mode. Yet no one knew at that time that even 10 years later Perl 6 would be in no position to replace Perl 5 for the vast majority of its users.Perl 5.8 - July 18, 2002 Perl 5.10 - Dec 22, 2007 Summer 2009 - Jesse Vincent sets up release schedule, eventually takes over Perl Pumpking (Perl Development Manager), credited with re-energizing and focusing Perl improvements.Perl 5.12 - April 2010
Perl 5.12 Is the Latest Perl Release
Pearl 5.12 highlights include: Perl's time functions work beyond the year 2038. With previous versions of Perl for 32-bit Unix systems, it could only represent dates up to the year 2038, after which it wraps around back to 1970. It is especially important for financial services organizations that use Perl for applications such as mortgage and insurance contracts that run for 30 years or longer. This has been updated within the internal functions of 32-bit Perl 5.12.
Improved Unicode Support
Perl 5.12 now supports all Unicode properties for developers doing globalization work in multiple languages. It includes all the synonyms, loose spelling rules for property names and values, and other areas that have been brought in sync with the corresponding Unicode specification.
Support for Pluggable Keywords
Extension modules in Perl 5.12 can now cleanly hook into the Perl parser to define new kinds of keyword-headed expressions and compound statements. The syntax following the keyword is defined entirely by the extension. This feature facilitates the development of DSLs (domain specific languages) within Perl by allowing a completely non-Perl sub-language to be parsed inline, with the correct ops cleanly generated. This feature is experimental and may be removed.
Perl in the Enterprise
Perl is used in virtually 100 percent of the Fortune 500, in a wide range of mission-critical systems. Some major customers of ActiveState, the major commercial vendor supporting Perl, include: CA, Goldman Sachs, Boeing, Lockheed Martin, GE Aviation, Credit Suisse and Bank of America.
Perl Uses
Perl is one of the three P's—Perl/Python/PHP—in the LAMP stack. It is often used for: "gluing" programs together, extracting and integrating information between disparate repositories, graphics programming, system administration, network programming, applications that require database access, CGI programming on the Web.Other uses for Perl include developing games and managing high-volume, high-content Websites.
Perl Built into Popular Operating Systems
Perl is included in the default installation of popular operating systems except Windows.
ActivePerl Makes Perl Easier
ActivePerl comes with PPM (Perl Package Manager) repositories to allow quick install and management of popular Perl modules without the need of compiler and make tools. ActivePerl comes with PPM repositories for all major platforms (Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, AIX). ActivePerl comes with preinstalled extra modules especially useful for IIS applications.
Popular Perl IDEs (Integrated Development Environments)
Padre, the Perl IDE: A text editor that is simple to use for new Perl programmers but also supports large multilingual and multitechnology projects. ActiveState's Komodo IDE: Komodo is an editor for Perl built on the Mozilla platform. It features extensible standard editor functionality, syntax checking and coloring, a regex debugging tool and more. Komodo also has a multilanguage editor and debugger for other languages such as Python, PHP, Ruby, JavaScript and Tcl.
Perl Is Extensible and Flexible
Examples of Perl's extensibility and flexibility include the Moose object system, which is quickly becoming the de facto standard; the Catalyst web framework; the DBIx::Class Object/Relational Mapper; and the Perl Web Server infrastructure provided by Plack.
Perl Is in the Top 10
Perl ranks among the Top 10 most popular computer languages. According to the April 2010 TIOBE Programming Community Index, Perl ranked 8th behind C, Java, C++, PHP, Visual Basic, C# and Python, in that order.
Multiple Downloads
According to ActiveState, there are more than 200,000 ActivePerl downloads each month.
Next Major Release: Perl 5.14
The next major stable release of Perl will be Perl 5.14, which is scheduled to be released within about one year. According to Jan Dubois, a Perl developer at ActiveState, major Perl releases used to happen every two years: 5.005 in 1998, 5.6 in 2000, 5.8 in 2002. Then it took five years to get to 5.10 in 2007 (5.7 and 5.9 were internal development tracks).
Perl 6?
Perl 6 is a sister language, part of the Perl family. Perl 6 is not production-ready yet. However, developers can get involved with its development through the open-source process at http://www.perl6.org/.
The Perl Foundation
The Perl Foundation is dedicated to the advancement of the Perl programming language through open discussion, collaboration, design and code. The Mozilla Foundation is one of several sponsors of the Perl Foundation, and Slicehost provides hosting for the Perl Foundation.

William and America confront evil, but will it cost them everything? Find out in Red Sky Over America, book one of Tamera Lynn Kraft's Ladies of Oberlin series. Though the daughter of a slave owner, America is determined to fight for freedom. In her quest to change her father's mind, America crosses paths with fellow classmate and abolitionist William. Can two young abolitionists make a difference in a divided country . . . and live to tell about it?
About the Book
Red Sky Over America (Desert Breeze, February 2018)
In 1857, America, the daughter of a slave owner, is an abolitionist and a student at Oberlin College, a school known for its radical ideas. When America goes home to Kentucky during school break to confront her father about freeing his slaves, America's classmate, William, tags along to preach abolition to churches that condone slavery. Soon, though, America and William find themselves in the center of the approaching storm sweeping the nation. Will they make it back to Ohio . . . or even live through the struggle?
My Perspective
America is a girl after my own heart. With a slave owning father, and the heart for freeing the slaves, she reminds me of what every single person in America should be. The name is fitting I think. Although the setting for this book is in the mid 1800's, you can somewhat see the themes in the world today. People thinking they are better than others, treat others like they are not worth anything, and families divided over beliefs. For the most part, American was not willing to back down from her point of view and fought against those who did.
I felt slightly annoyed at her dealings with Harland. She seemed like such a strong character, and able to form good opinions about others, but I felt she was a tad naïve or blind when it came to Harland. I wanted her to push his buttons more. I wanted her to get into big arguments with him. Instead, it seemed as though he just took his words as truth and didn't give them a second thought. Had it been another character, say her brother's fiancée for example, she was quick to judge and speak her mind. It almost seemed like she was two different people.
William's character however was not one to shy away. In fact, I applauded the times when he said he wasn't backing down from evil. He was a hero in everyway….except for one thing he did with America. But I can't say too much or it'll totally spoil the book for you! From their initial conversation on the train I knew that they were two characters that were meant to be together. The fun part was seeing their stories separately more than together. It allowed you to get to know them better as individuals, and what they stood for without the other one hovering. I like reading books this way – makes it all the more enjoyable if the couple ends up together.
Overall I thought this was a great story. The inclusion of a few different point of views added depth and character to the story that enabled you to connect with each part of the plot. I look forward to the next installment of this series! I received a complimentary copy of this book. I was not required to write a favorable review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Artist captures Norfolk and Norwich Festival scenes in paint
PUBLISHED: 16:05 25 May 2018 | UPDATED: 02:40 26 May 2018
Owen Mathers
From the grand opening spectacle to all the fun of the Adnams Spiegeltent - artist Owen Mathers has been capturing highlights of this year's Norfolk & Norwich Festival with his pen and paint.
On the first day of the festival Mr Mathers painted French company Transe Express turning Norwich into an open air opera house with giant singing dolls and drummers that took to the sky on an elaborate mobile, and since then he has created illustrations of many more scenes from the 17-day arts extravaganza.
Mr Mathers, a 37-year-old graphic designer, illustrator and artist who lives in Norwich's Golden Triangle, said: "I always have a sketch book with me, and when my other half and I went to the launch I did some sketches while we were in the crowds and I put them on Instagram.
"It was through the festival seeing them that they asked if I would like to do more pictures for them."
Since then he has been a regular at pop-up festival venue the Adnams Spiegeltent, in Chapelfield Gardens, where he has painted pictures of Barely Methodical Troupe presenting their circus show Shift as well as performances by West African female supergroup Les Amazones D'Afrique and saxophone-drum duo Binker and Moses.
"What I like to capture is the energy and the atmosphere," Mr Mathers said.
"All the artworks are carried out on location and none of it is done at home. I look at the scene and I just draw it as it develops in front of me with pen and watercolour washes.
"The majority of the drawings I have done for this particular project are done in 15 to 20 minutes, they are quite quick. At Binker and Moses I did five or six drawings in an hour."
Mr Mathers, who graduated from Norwich School of Art and Design, now Norwich University of the Arts, with a BA Honours degree in graphic design in 2003, will also be out about over the next few days capturing moments from the final weekend of the 2018 festival.
"I'm going to Wells on Saturday for Wayfaring," he said.
"I also hope to go see the sculptures at the UEA and the Damien Hirst exhibition at some point."
The festival runs until Sunday. Visit www.nnfestival.org.uk
Mr Mathers will also be having an exhibition at Studio 20 in Wensum Street from July 6 to 8. For more about Mr Mathers work, visit www.owenmathers.co.uk and follow @OwenMathers on Instagram and Twitter.

That's more or less right, but of course there are many detailed teachings about how to use the nenju (what you called a juzu) in Shingon, its significances, and so on.

They are depicted as bodhisattvas so they cannot be śrāvakas or devas in this case. It is indeed the one in Horyu-ji. https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E9%87%88%E8%BF%A6%E4%B8...

Shinnyo En is a recognized expression of Shingon Buddhism. I'm wondering what "expression" means? Shinnyoen is not a form of Shingon Buddhism, and is not recognized as such by anyone.

Big data-for-sales pioneer, Lattice Engines, has announced the results of its survey on Big Data in sales and has shown it to be of significant importance for driving sales. Key findings from the survey include:
About sales representatives experiencing difficulty accessing information necessary for closing deals:
• 82 percent of respondents felt sales reps are handicapped by the time it takes to research prospects and by the amount of information available.
• Sales reps potentially search up to 15 data sources like LinkedIn, search engines, and internal CRM systems, to find information on customers and sales prospects.
• 89 percent felt that being unable to keep up with prospect information resulted in missed sales opportunities.
On existing technology not designed for big data:
• CRM systems have reached 80 percent saturation rate but only 44 percent of respondents belief it is effective at making internal information more easily accessible, and almost 0 percent reported that CRM is ineffective at finding information from external sources.
• Over half of polled companies do not have the technology in place to deliver external and internal information sales reps, relying instead on the reps themselves doing necessary research.
• 90 percent of executives expect great benefits to sales from better data access and insights delivered from a singular system
"Sales have more to gain from Big Data technology than perhaps any other part of an organization because the results directly impact the bottom line," said Shashi Upadhyay, CEO of Lattice Engines. "The findings in this survey reflect what our customers are telling us: they are overwhelmed by information and existing technologies aren't designed for the social and data-intensive world we do business in today. World-class organizations are already taking advantage of Big Data technology to increase sales productivity and win more deals."

Gamers Tower Inc., www.gamerstower.com
$29.95 direct
Multiple desktops organize applications. Desktops have individual screen resolution, icon layout, start-up programs, background, password, and Windows shell. Allows multiple Windows or Active Directory user accounts simultaneously.
Problems with stability. Windows XP firewall prevents multiuser mode. Important notifications appear only on main desktop. Some settings "leak" from one desktop to another. Occasional lockups.
Bottom Line:
MUD 2004 is a great concept, and enthusiasts with high-end machines and the urge to tinker will probably get it working exactly the way they want it. Still, we can't recommend installing it on a production system. Perhaps the next version will be as stable as it is powerful.
Multi User Desktop 2004 version 2.1, from Gamers Tower, has enormous potential to maximize the usefulness of a high-end PC running Windows 2000, XP, or Server 2003.

Multi User Desktop 2004 2.1
Multi User Desktop 2004 version 2.1, from Gamers Tower, has enormous potential to maximize the usefulness of a high-end PC running Windows 2000, XP, or Server 2003. It requires at least 256MB of RAM, an 800-MHz CPU, and a 3D graphics card with 32MB of RAM. The recommended configuration—which we used during testing—is 512MB of RAM, a 2-GHz CPU, and 64MB of video RAM. A machine with these resources is capable of running many programs simultaneously, but users may have trouble digging through the stack of windows on the desktop.
MUD 2004 restores order by organizing the programs onto additional desktops. Each desktop's configuration can differ significantly from the others, and each can be password-protected in various ways. Our testing indicates that this version of the product is not ready for use in production environments, but enthusiasts may want to take advantage of its power regardless.
Each MUD 2004 desktop can have its own wallpaper, screen resolution, and icon arrangement; the program's icon manager will keep the icons in place even in a multimonitor configuration. You can configure a desktop to use a Windows shell other than Windows Explorer. In fact, the vendor suggests evaluating alternative 2D and 3D Windows shells by running them under MUD 2004. Desktops can be password-protected on an ad hoc or permanent basis and can run in the context of different Windows or Active Directory user accounts. If you need to allow ongoing monitoring and fast access, rather than protecting the desktops, MUD 2004 can automatically cycle through them, displaying each for a fixed time and halting at a predefined key combination.
You can define a distinct set of start-up programs for each desktop, all of which will be loaded when Windows boots—be prepared to wait. The program optionally replaces Windows' Alt-Tab display with an enhanced view that lets you switch to any program on any desktop. A complete collection of desktops and settings can be saved as a profile and restored on the same or another similarly configured machine.
Unfortunately, these innovative features aren't entirely stable, and the help is sketchy. After any change to desktop settings, all additional desktops must be restarted; this takes time and requires closing any open documents, including those on desktops that aren't visible. And for some reason, each restart opens another My Documents window on the standard desktop. On several occasions the desktop restart process stuck, and we had to terminate MUD 2004 using Task Manager. Twice, a problem on one of the desktops prevented MUD 2004 from completing its initialization, which in turn kept us from fixing the malfunctioning desktop. The first time, we had no recourse but to uninstall and reinstall MUD 2004. Version 2.1, released in the middle of our testing, added a Safe Mode, in which MUD 2004 itself launches without loading the additional desktops, allowing repair of a damaged desktop.
Our initial attempts to assign a desktop to a different user account failed; then we learned that this feature is not compatible with the Windows XP firewall. Once we turned off the firewall, it worked most of the time, and Task Manager clearly showed the other desktop's programs running under a different user name. Occasionally, the other user's desktop didn't fully initialize, leaving us with no icons, taskbar, right-click menus, or access to MUD 2004. Version 2.1 provides a workaround by adding a floating icon for access to the MUD 2004 menu.
On another desktop, we successfully loaded and configured the Aston alternative Windows shell (www.astonshell.com). Unfortunately, some configuration changes, such as the mouse cursors and color scheme used by the Aston shell, bled over onto other desktops. More serious, important notifications like ZoneAlarm alerts and Windows Error Reports appeared only on the standard desktop. This is a deliberate design choice, but it means that a process on one of the additional desktops can be stuck waiting for a response to a message that's visible only on the standard desktop. By the same token, Ctrl-Alt-Del brings up Task Manager on the standard desktop, regardless of which desktop is active.
MUD 2004 is a great concept, and enthusiasts with high-end machines and the urge to tinker will probably get it working exactly the way they want. Still, we can't recommend installing it on a production system yet. Keep an eye on this unusual product—perhaps the next version will be as stable as it is powerful.

Uppu Seedai
Ingredients Needed
Raw Rice flour – 1 cup
Urad Dal – 1 tbsp
Salt to taste
Butter – 2 tsp
Sesame Seeds -1 tsp
Grated coconut – 2 tsp
Channa dal – 1/2 cup
Optional Ingredients
My friend also adds these to her Seedais and says it tastes great
Crushed Cumin – 1 tsp
Pepper corn, crushed – 1/2 tsp
Points to remember
Measure the rice flour after roasting. When you draw a line with the roasted rice flour, you should be able to make a straight line.
Drying the balls for at least 20 mins, makes sure your seedais don't break.
Soak the Chana dal in water for 30 mins, Drain and add to the flour when you are making.
Dry roast the rice flour till it turns colour. Keep it aside.
Dry roast the urad dal till it turns colour. Cool and powder to fine. Sieve to make sure you have fine powder.
Dry roast the sesame seeds, toss it around and keep it aside.
The way to do for crushing is, once the seeds are cooled down, simply crumble them in your hand, so that it crumbles down.
For mixing the dough
Mix in soft butter, crushed sesame, cumin, pepper if you are adding to the flours. Mix well. Then slowly add water just enough to get a dough.
The dough should be able to hold it's shape.
When you pinching down the seedais, just pinch out and roughly roll them into balls. Do not make tight balls. Do not roll them in your palms as you might do for a laddu. Pinch them out as small balls, press down so that they form balls.
Important step to remember.
Once you make all the balls, spread them on a paper or cloth for atleast 15 – 20 mins, for them to dry out.
Heat the oil to hot, reduce to medium, cook in batches. Make sure the balls are not very big as the inside as to get cooked.
Vella Seedai
Ingredients Needed:
Raw Rice flour -1 cup
Jaggary – 3/4 cup
Butter – 1 tbsp
Grated Coconut – 2 tbsp
Sesame Seeds – 2 tbsp
Cardamom powder a pinch
Oil for deep frying
How to make the Vellai Seedai
The same roasted rice flour and Urad dal is used for this as well.
Dry roast the sesame seeds.
Soak the jaggary and strain the impurities. Put on high flame, switch off when it starts bubbles or boiling.
In a bowl, take the flours, sesame seeds, butter, cardamom and slowly add the jaggary water.
Mix well to get a soft dough.
Make bigger balls than you make for uppu seedai. Dry them as the uppu seedai and deep fry in batches.

- Note: PaymentWall contains multiple payment methods, to see what payment methods are available in your country visit: https://www.paymentwall.com/payment-methods and select your country.
Using xats
A kiss is a large animation which appears over the entire chat box and is visible to all users (unless they have ignored you). To send a kiss, click on the magic 8ball in the line of smileys above the text box. You cannot send a kiss on a chat if you are currently banned.
A kiss costs 25 xats to send. On the kiss dialog box, enter your message, as well as your account password, and click on the kiss you want to send. To preview a kiss, enter an optional message, exclude your password, and click on a kiss. Only you will see this.
Marriages and BFFs (Best Friends Forever) allow you to pair up on xat. Once you marry or BFF another user, your names will always appear next to each other on the visitor's list in any chat where you are both present. The person with the highest rank takes priority in the order of pairing on the user list. You can marry/BFF anyone you want as long as neither of you are already in a relationship, but remember that they can divorce you for free at any time for any reason. To get married/BFFed, click on the person's name, and click the "Marry/Best Friend" button. Best Friends will be connected with a cross, while married pairs will be connected with a heart.
Divorces are free. To get divorced, click on anyone's name and click the Divorce button. If you change your mind and want to remarry, it will cost another 200 xats, so make sure you are certain. An animation will show to the entire chat when you divorce.
Want to bring more users to your group? There are two ways to promote your group.
Promoting a Group
You can use your xats to promote your group. This will put your group on the xat homepage. You must adhere to all promotion rules. If you do not abide by these rules, your promotion will end and your xats will not be refunded. To check prices, read the promotion rules, or purchase a promotion for your group, see Promotion.
You must be at least a member in order to promote a group. If you have just been made a member, you may need to wait a few minutes. The group you are trying to promote must be open to all users (not members only). Some groups can't be promoted, like Lobby, Help, etc. Groups can be promoted for a minimum of 30 minutes to a maximum of six hours.
Banner Advertisements
You can also attract users to your group by uploading a banner advertisement, which will be displayed above or below chat boxes at other groups. Your banner must be appropriate, and should be 728x90 pixels. To get started, see the Advertise article.
Group transfer
You can use your xats to purchase groups that haven't been used by their owner in at least three months. The cost of a group transfer can range from 1,000-18,000 xats. It primarily depends on how popular the name is. If the group has been visited by an owner recently, it probably won't be available for transfer. You can check prices and availability here.
Powers are extra features that can be used in the chat. Clicking your name and then "Powers" will give you a list of all available powers. Power costs vary and can sometimes require subscription days for purchase. Limited powers (which are unavailable for purchase on the powers page) can be purchased from other users at Trade. You need subscription days to use powers. If you run out of subscription days, you will keep your powers, but you will be unable to use them until you have days again. Check out the powers page and the Powers support article for more information.
Short registered names (4-9 characters) can also be purchased with xats. The cost is typically 1,000-25,000 xats, but may be more for exceedingly popular or common terms. Changing a shortname to any other registered name will cause you to lose that shortname. A shortname also puts you higher on the visitors list. You can't use any words in a shortname that you couldn't use in a normal registered name (restricted words like staff, or inappropriate words). Check out the shortname page for more information.
xats and days can be transferred to another user. To transfer to another user, click on their name, and click the "Transfer" button. Enter the amount of xats/days you want to transfer, your password, and an optional message. The xats/days will be removed from your account and given to the other user. There is a minimum transfer requirement of 10 xats or 1 day. This will be higher if the user has one or more Mint powers.
You can also trade xats, days, and powers with other users. For more information, see the Trading article.

Heather's GranolaMonday, March 07, 2011
I'm not a big granola person… It tastes great, but it's always so high calorie that it's not quite worth it to consume {for me}—I'm getting ready to go to work, not climb a mountain! But when Heather came to visit a few weeks ago, she brought along a bag of homemade granola and I could not. stop. eating it. I politely tried a bite after she told me she'd made it and then was sneaking handfuls the rest of the weekend.
So before she left, Heather made sure to give me a lesson in homemade granola-making and I was all ears! Before we got going, we had to make a quick trip to Whole Foods to invest in a few granola staples: safflower oil {$3.49}, maple syrup {not syrup, maple syrup…$8}, and oats & seeds {We bought enough to make several batches and the whole thing was $7}, but it will all go a long way. And has anyone seen the wall of nuts & oats at Whole Foods?? Holy nuts Batman! The combinations of granola you could make are endless… I could make granola the rest of my life and never make the same batch twice!
So here's whatchyaneed…
- Steel-cut oats {4 c.}
- Flaxseed {Optional}
- Pumpkin seeds {or sunflower seeds or whatever you want}
- Nuts {We opted for walnuts}
- Craisins {Or raisins, or whatever dried fruit}
- Safflower oil {1/2 c.}
- Maple syrup {1/4 c.}
- Honey {1/4 c.}
- Vanilla {1 t.}
- Cinnamon {Lots of shakes…it's all up to you!}
- Not pictured: parchment paper
Heat the safflower oil, maple syrup, honey, vanilla, and cinnamon on low heat until they're combined. {This doesn't take long…just a minute or two.}
In a large bowl, combine all of the oats and seeds and combine. {There's really no right or wrong amount or combination—a handful here or there of whatever you want.}
Pour the syrup mixture into the oats and combine until well coated. Do not add the berries.
Spread the mixture over a parchment-lined pan, thin enough that all of the oats get cooked.
Next, cook the oats in a 275 degree oven for 25 minutes. Then stir the oats until everything on top is now on the bottom. Cook for another 25-30 minutes.
Once out of the oven, sprinkle the berries on top and let cool. The granola will cool as a solid sheet, so break up the pieces and store in an air tight container.
I couldn't believe how easy and inexpensive this was! But I still just can't. stop. eating. it.
Let me know if you try it!
