You need to become a Contributor to join the discussion - Find out how.
As a digital marketing nut and friend of the felines, I wanted to combine them both together for a 'pet project'. I decided to take all of the digital tools I have use, tried and want to try and add them into a listing site where any money made from advertising, affiliates or promoted will go to different cat charities. If you use any of them, feel free to view and share, remember I am not a coder and this is a pet project (still in kind of beta mode), so if you come across any issues or even want to help, let me know. It is free to list the tools on the site.
@paulparsons1981 thanks! you just took my messy collection of similar notes and added some awesome sauce 😉 I am now free from endless clipping of web sites for future use
@passingnotes Thanks :-)
@paulparsons1981 now I kinda wanna do the same things for dogs! got a couple of rescues, and others over the years - plus a few cat rescues! did you code this, or is there a similar Wordpress theme out there for use like this?
@passingnotes great idea. I actually used a theme but had it customised. There are some other ones out there you don't need to customise but depends on what you are listing.
Susan Shor@shorsusan1
Nice UI and I love cats! Good luck!!
@shorsusan1 thank you!
Wow, this is awesome @paulparsons1981! Love the cat theme :) I'll be sure to submit https://adcat.io soon

It's so easy these days to get...beyond busy. Not just run on the mill, working eight hours a day busy, but the kind of busy where you don't have a spare moment from dawn until midnight and you still haven't finished everything that you need to accomplish. Some people love being busy and others hate it, but I happen to fall into former category. If I'm not busy, I don't know how to handle myself. (How I balance that particular quirk with an anxiety disorder, I have no idea.)
But whether you are happily busy or about to tear your hair out with frustration, the most important part of balancing your busy life is by choosing your priorities. Even though it can feel like life is running you, you still have the right and the ability to choose how you are going to run your life, what you will prioritize and what you will put above everything else. It's necessary for your health, mental and physical, to make those distinctions
There's something to be said for knowing when to start and when to stop, when to set something aside for later and when to go for it full tilt, not letting anyone or anything get in your way. Sometimes its as simple as knowing when to let yourself take a break.
This week, I'm afraid I have to make that distinction. I've had several tumultuous occurrences in the past week, and this week upcoming is the final week of my current day job, which is closing. I have four big projects I'm working on and meals to cook for my family, a very intense last-week's schedule and, this past weekend, an unexpected trip out of town. I think I just need a few days off and next week I will be able to come back, good as new. Until then, try a recipe and tell me what you think!
I wish you all the very best and I will return next Tuesday with a brand new recipe, tried and true as always.

Advertiser Disclosure
Ok, I know that I have been posting a lot of deals for Garmin, but they are just too good!
Best Deal Ever on Garmin Fenix 5 Watches!
Link: Garmin Fenix 5 Watches
However, this one tops them all! I posted last weekend about the Garmin Fenix 5 deal from Princeton watches. Apparently, they had not reduced the price of the Garmin Fenix 5 by $100 like all Garmin retailers were doing. Instead, they offered a 20% off code only for Garmin watches.
Guess what? Now the $100 off is coded in and the 20% off code is still working! That means you can now get the base Garmin Fenix 5 model (regularly $599) for only $400! That is insane for these watches!
The Deal
I have personally never bought from them before but they seem to be a good company (I found some complaints about them but normally places like this still have ratings while having complaints as more people go online to complain than praise).
TopCashBack is paying out 6% with them but using the 20% off code before may invalidate the cash back. Definitely go with the portal anyway just in case!
At checkout, use code Garmin20 to take the 20% off.
Yes, that is still a lot of money, but if you want to get the best Garmin Fenix watch yet, this is the deal!
I have no idea how long this will last like this. If you are interested, I would act sooner rather than later.

FSA chairman Adair Turner has said the new Consumer Protection and Markets Authority is likely to be fully funded by the industry but the final decision lies with the Treasury.
Speaking at a press conference following the FSA's annual public meeting last week, Turner said he has not been informed how the body will be funded.
He said: "I cannot see why it would not have the same structure of industry funding as the FSA has, but that is something for the Treasury to decide.
"I would be very surprised if the Chancellor was looking for more opportunities for public expenditure at this time."
Turner said he always had "a degree of sympathy" for the Conservatives' approach to regulation but warned that its implementation must be handled carefully. He said: "My own preference would have been to distinguish prudential from conduct more clearly within the FSA, internal twin peaks as it were, and to close the macro-prudential underlap through the creation of the new financial policy committee.
"But that debate is now over – the Government has decided that it wants to achieve the full clarity of structural change. The FSA's challenge is therefore to implement that structural change – to divide the organisation into its focused successor bodies, building on the fundamentally changed approaches we have already put in place while minimising the risks of disruption which any process of major structural change inevitably entails."
Turner added that the cre- ation of the CPMA brings a good opportunity to consider the balance of responsibility between consumers and firms and how to enforcement responsibilities will be distributed between the two bodies.
He said: "We have to think through our enforcement capabilities and what the capabilities of each body will be. We must also implement them while keeping the momentum of our enforcement regime up."
FSA chief executive Hector Sants said the FSA has a "strong pipeline" of criminal cases in progress and it expects to resolve them over the next 12 months.
He added that the FSA will continue to execute its 2010/11 business plan despite the upcoming regulatory changes, which will see the regulator recruit another 460 staff.
He conceded that staff retention and recruitment will be made "more difficult" by the uncertainty of the transition to the new regulatory structure.
He added: "There is also no change to the FSA's policy age-nda, which includes the RDR and the mortgage market review."

Graphic 35, American-made 35mm format camera, was launched by Graflex which is the world famous manufacturer of the large format camera and Speed Graphic.
In the early '50s, Graflex had distributed not only the large format camera, but also 35mm format "Ciro 35" manufactuerd by Ciro Camera for the sake of meeting the needs of age. And it was 1955 when Graflex presented Graphic 35 as the successor to "Ciro 35".
As Graphic 35 succeeded to basic structure of Ciro 35, there were some unique mechanisms employed for the camera. One of them was the focusing mechanism that there were focusing buttons at both sides of the lens, and depressing each button moves the helicoid back and forth.
The gentle curve lines of the camera body, together with gray-colored leather covers with it, make its appearance refined and elegant.
Well then, let's take a look at it.
- First introduced in 1955 by Graflex.
- Camera type : 35mm leaf-shutter camera
- Film : 35mm film
- Lens : Graflar f3.5/50mm
- Rangefinder : double-image superimposing rangefinder
- Focusing : done with the focusing buttons at both sides of the lens.
- Shutter : Prontor SVS
- Shutter speeds : B, 1 - 1/300 sec.
- Flash sync contact : V, X, M
- Film transportation : done with the film wind knob.

Bill Blake
I am very sad to report that Bill Blake, D-Wave Systems' Executive VP of R&D, passed away this week. Though only with D-Wave for a short time — Bill joined us in September of 2014 — he made a significant and incredibly positive impact on both the future of D-Wave's products and the people at our company. Responsible for processor development, hardware engineering and software design, he not only drove advancements for our technology, but was an intelligent and caring individual who had an immense passion for technology.
Bill had a tremendous career as a technology leader for more than three decades. As CTO at Cray Inc., he was responsible for defining their next generation of supercomputers and expanding their large-scale data analytics strategy. Prior to Cray Inc, Bill held various leadership positions at Microsoft's Technical Computing group, Interactive Supercomputing, Netezza, Digital Equipment Corporation and Compaq. He also sat on boards of TotalView Technologies, Terascala, Cluster File Systems, Unlimited Scale, Sandia National Laboratories, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, and the Boston CommonAngels.
Bill will be missed by many, and will be remembered both for the contributions he made to the advancement of technology and to the impact he made personally to those who knew him. Should you wish to convey any condolences or memories of Bill to his family you can send them to firstname.lastname@example.com.

I've had people compliment me for my graphic and web designing skills after looking at the magic I've created by using Photoshop and Dreamweaver.
I've had people compliment me for my great taste in music. Don't laugh but I try not to tell people whom I've just met that I'm a huge Spice Girls Fan. I'm just afraid that it would give them a heart attack (cos hello, I know reality. not everyone is a fan of spice girls like how they're a fan of Lady Gaga). So I'd just remain humble and tell them.. yeah I listen mostly to mainstream music.
Then there are people who compliment me for my great fashion sense. Is it really that great? I think I dress normally.. and all you people are dressing weirdly. And somehow being enlisted in National Service, looking at everyone's terrible terrible fashion sense, I'm just afraid it'd get to me somehow. I just wished they'd have posted me as a Military Fashion Policeman instead. Just think of all the people I can charge just for their terrible sense of dressing?
But what most people compliment me the most would be my...
I smile a lot. In fact, that particular trait of mine is what gets me in trouble most of the time. I have a million and one different types of smile. There's a smile that I use when I'm nervous. And a smile when something is wrong.. but I try to act like nothing's wrong by smiling kind of smile. Then there's the sarcastic smile, combined with my piercing eyes can actually be quite a deadly combination.
And of course, a special smile that is specially reserved for my special someone. The smile that no one else have seen 'cept for that someone. The cheeky kind of smile. The playful yet full of love kind of smile.
Though people compliment me the most about my smile, the compliment that I look forward to hearing the most would be that unique smile reserved specially for that someone. Get it? Go figure.
On compliments that I wished I'd have received from people..
Sometimes I really wished for people to compliment me for being myself. Everyone out there is trying their best to fit in just by being different. But what they don't realise is that when everyone out there is trying to be different, no one is trying to be their own self.
I could have tried to fit in. But i try not to. Cos sure everyone wants to be as cool as A as much as they try to be. But don't forget, there's only one of you. And if you don't be yourself, no one will.

A flood risk assessment evaluates an area for its potential to experience flooding and damage within 100-year flood zones that governments designate, according to ArcGIS. Flood risk assessment maps show natural and man-made features, including bodies of water, dams and levees, medical centers, city and county boundaries, and population distribution.
Interactive flood risk assessment maps also show flooding stage and gage heights, locations of schools and emergency medical services, and parcels of land within the Federal Emergency Management Agency 100-year flood zones, notes ArcGIS. Map users can use the find box to locate specific addresses. In the United States, flooding is the natural disaster that causes more losses than any other occurrence, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. The assessment maps help governments and communities create disaster preparedness, emergency and recovery plans.

The wait time for the CP should be much shorter, probably only about 2 weeks. Some people are getting emails that they are pending and others are getting NLIC on their dashboard. No one has been accepted yet.
I really don't like this whole dashboard thing. When I applied for the Spring 2010 Program there was no dashboard, you did your phone interview and then you waited for them to email you. There was no where to constantly log in and check, I wasn't even in a Facebook group where other people would constantly post about their status. I was happy and content just waiting. But now, I'm so nervous and anxious! I log on several times a day to check my status.
I really need the to get the CP in case I don't get a PI. Otherwise what will I do? Ahh!

SpaceX successfully launched its 18th consecutive commercial payload into orbit on Thursday, but this time two of the company's prototype communications satellites went along for the ride.
And minutes after blastoff, Space Exploration Technologies Corp., the formal name of billionaire Elon Musk's company, came close to pulling off another engineering coup: using a specially outfitted boat to "catch" part of the rocket's returning nose cone.
In a message on Twitter, Musk said that using a larger parachute in the future to slow the descent should allow SpaceX to land the nose cone directly in the boat's netting, which he called a giant-size version of a baseball "catcher's mitt."
Missed by a few hundred meters, but fairing landed intact in water. Should be able catch it with slightly bigger chutes to slow down descent.— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) February 22, 2018
The main mission, blasting a Spanish radar-imaging satellite into a 320-mile high orbit, went off without a hitch as the Falcon 9 rocket lifted off at 6:17 a.m. local time from Vandenberg Air Force Base on California's central coast. Bright orange exhaust plumes produced a light show in the dawn sky, before the nine main engines shut off as planned, about 2½ minutes into the flight.

I know that the majority of the world assumes daylight savings when summer comes knocking, but WA has shunned it for years.
We had it trialled for a year back in the late 80's (I think - I was about 10 or 11, or even maybe 12 so around about the change of the decade anyway) and it didn't do much for the people of the
west because in three consecutive referendums it was shot down.
Now, why do we need to save daylight? Electricity I can understand. That comes from valuable resources that are for the most part non-renewable and so we need to conserve them. Water, pretty much the same thing - there's only so much of it to go around. But sunlight? Heck, the sun's pretty big and with the hole in the ozone layer sitting pretty above this little island of ours, well let's just say I think we're getting our fair share. Do we really need to put a little bit of daylight away each day, in our little sunshine piggy banks, for a rainy day???
Now however there's been a call by politicians to bring it back (most likely because the businesses want it). They 'say' that enough time has passed that we have a new generation now that deserves the chance to experience daylight savings for themselves. This generation were just babies last time we had it, so why not give them a choice?
And herein lies my biggest issue. I'm not even really that dead set against daylight savings itself (it doesn't particularly faze me). What does bother me is that the pollies want to give this new generation the chance to mess with nature and conform it to humans expectations, but we don't actually get a say in whether we want it or not.
You see, the way it's going down is that the clocks get turned back come December 3, and every summer after for the next three years, and then, and only then will we go to a referendum to see if the people agree. Even though there has been a consistency in the past to let nature do what it intended to do, the politicians are going to walk over our right to a vote and force us into a three year trial.
Gah, it annoys me!
If they're so sure that this is what the people want, why not just let us have our say? Hell, trial it for a year and then let us vote, but don't force it on us for three years!
But, what's this? Do you see that? Oh my God! It's the big businesses that fund the election campaigns! *gasp* Who would have seen that coming?
Obviously not me.

Tartan's big this winter. What do you mean, AGAIN?
This kind of tartan, though? This kind is only big in the Fashion Police jail. And, of course, at certain Irregular Choice outlets. Don't say we didn't warn you…

They are pretty bad, they look like they'd make your feet look like big (tartan-covered) banana feet. I like the way the straps cross over, though. I think that could look nice on a shoe with a heel, a shoe not covered in purple tartan!View Comment
I', sorry, but these are just UGLY! They wouldn't even be cute on a 4 year old!View Comment
Pointy shoes that curl up at the tip are always ugly. Sometimes they might look good by themselves, but try them on and you'll see just how much they make you look like an elf.View Comment
These must be for Halloween, surely?
They look like they belong on a Harlequin! Awful. I'd rather chop off my feet than let these monstrosities near them. I feel itchy just having them on the screen.View Comment
They look like Tartan Boats! Could you imagine a woman with size 8 feet wearing those? They should have warning signs on the toes.View Comment
I liked it, after five minutes trying to understand the shoe.
.-= Kelly´s last blog ..Um mês de academia! =-.
Perhaps the tartan breaks up the ugly shape of the shoe, a bit like the way zebra stripes break up the outline of the zebra. (Not that I'm suggesting zebras are ugly!)View Comment
I think I found the perfect shoes for my new "uglies outfit ever" look on polivore.
no; seriously now, the whole world has gone completely insane right?
why do people insist to wear stuff that would make a manequin look fat and their feet to appear 5 sizes bigger? why?
The boyfriend just looked over and said, "I've seen those before. Weren't they on a witch?"
They're called pumps. Pumps are specifically shoes without fastenings, and I can quite clearly see a button on those.
It also amuses me how the product details just cuts off in the middle of a word, and there are no items in the "May we suggest" section.
If this were a wear or die, I'm not sure I'd survive.

We just got back from the Mouse's House.
The M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E
Where dreams come true and there's no place happier on the earth.
Well, maybe for some.
You see, this picture here tells only part of our magical story.
I mean, I hate to complain. It's Disney. It's a dream vacation for some. However, it wasn't for us this time. So when people ask me, "Did you have a great time?!" I have to be honest, ya'll. It was a hot mess of a trip sprinkled throughout with fun. And while there were lots of fun times, lots to be grateful for, and the kids had a blast (because yay for not having to adult), this is the not so good account because, seriously, you can't make this stuff up.
And you just have to laugh.
Our story started with Hurricane Irma. It looked like Irma and I both thought September 10th would be a fun time to visit Florida. Apparently the "low" crowds at Disney also appealed to her. So, I did what any reasonable person would do, I called to reschedule. Who wants to wait in line for Peter Pan, with Irma? Based on the wait time over the phone, NOBODY did.
But, it's okay. I'm patient. I will listen to the Disney hold music. I know in the big scheme of life, this is no major deal. People's homes and lives were at stake and I'm just trying to reschedule our trip for the following week. I'll hold.
3 hours and LOTS of Disney music later, BAM! DONE! We were to leave the following week. Easy Peasy.
the following Tuesday, the night before we boarded the plane to the "Happiest Place on Earth," I got a call.
"Mrs. Harman, due to the hurricane, Fort Wilderness Cabins will not be open, please call us back to get a refund or see if we can move you to a different resort."
It's NEVER good to miss a call from Disney. NEVER.
(trust me, this wasn't the last time I missed their call)
Because, if you miss that call, you will have to wait, again, in an invisible "line" of other people who are listening to that same music, who are hoping for the same thing, for that music to stop and for that magical voice to speak.
Well, don't hold your breath. I beat my last record of three hours, by one more hour.
Nailed It.
That's when I met Stanley. Our conversation started well. We talked about the weather, literally. He was eager to help me. He informed me we could easily switch to the Art of Animation (one of his favs he told me).
he then informed me we could only stay there until Saturday (our plane didn't leave until Monday).
There was no other room available in ALL OF DISNEY for us to go.
That was the word on the street.
Fast fast forward another hour and lots of pleas to help us find a place to stay, Stanley came through.
Art of Animation for three nights, Fort Wilderness Cabins, the last two nights.
We'll take it. Thank you Stanley.
We were Disney Bound the next morning.
While, presently, our lodging issues were solved, another issue emerged. My eye. I woke up with what had to be a scratched cornea. It was a red, watery mess that cowered in the presence of any light. Hoping by the next day, our first day at the parks, it would be better, I sported my ten year old crooked red glasses to the airport (I explained to the kind lady who sat next to me on the plane that I DIDN'T have pink eye just to ease her likely uneasy mind). Even cooler, I managed to wear my sunglasses OVER my glasses to stand a fighting chance against the light that flooded into the Magical Express Bus that picked us up at the airport to take us to the Art of Animation.
I'm glad my kids aren't too cool yet to be embarrassed by their mom wearing glasses AND sunglasses at the same time.
While I couldn't see well out of my one I, I still managed to notice a sea of emergency vehicles and workers upon our arrival at the Art of Animation with my good eye. While others whispered what could be going on, I immediately returned to my conversation with Stanley the night before who had informed me the reason there was "no vacancy" in all of Disney(I still don't believe it) was because of the doctors and nurses they were housing to help with the hurricane. I assumed they must have been housing EMT workers too and policemen.
Amateurs, I have the inside scoop thanks to Stanley, I thought.
A quick message from a friend outside the Disney bubble informed me otherwise when she sent me an article about our very resort at that very moment we arrived and asked if everything was okay.
The building next to ours had been evacuated because it appeared a meth lab was being run out of it.
One man was arrested.
Thankfully though, we were oblivious at the time and enjoyed perhaps the most heart stopping ride of our whole trip on the Disney Bus to Disney Springs for dinner. If the driver's goal was to prepare us for Test Track the next day, job well done. We managed to arrive in one piece (I'm not going to lie, I said a prayer for safety) at Disney Springs and did not have the same driver on a much more calm ride back.
My hopes that the next day would bring a healed eye weren't fulfilled. I woke up to my eye almost swollen shut. Determined to have the most magical day EVER, I did a few eye exercises, slipped a contact in it, and donned my sunglasses and kept my head low (thankfully the meth maker was already arrested because if not, I definitely would have looked suspicious). I occasionally took the glasses off only to wipe the water that seemed to gush out....and to take a picture with Mickey, Minnie, and Goofy. I looked awful and vowed to keep them on, whether inside or outside.
"I Wear My Sunglasses at Night" carried a whole new meaning.
Thankfully, the next morning my eye was holding its own and I could walk without Hannah leading me by the hand. This was especially good since Friday would be our worst Disney day.
It started out great. I didn't have to wear my sunglasses indoors, it was our visit to The Magic Kingdom (my favorite), there were no complaints.
Then, while taking a joyful ride through The Haunted Mansion (figures I should get THE CALL while in here), my phone rings. The "Lake Buena Vista" under the number gave it away that it indeed was Disney. I knew right away this was not good but couldn't pick up because the noise on the ride was too loud. I should have done it anyways.
The message left resembled the one I received Tuesday. Fort Wilderness Cabins was still not opened and we would need to get a refund or they would try to place us at another resort.
Homeless again.
She said she'd call me back in two hours (she never did) or I could call Guest Services but it would be a LONG wait.
So, there, at the Magic Kingdom, we began our third time on hold with Disney. I wasn't feeling so patient this time. The music was just out right annoying and the smiling faces walking by left me bitter. So much for a happy heart. We found a place to eat where we could plug in our phone....and wait. And wait we did. After 30 minutes, the music stopped. Someone was ready to talk to me. I was elated. However, after explaining our situation AGAIN the gal informed me it didn't look like there was any place for us to go. But if ANYONE could help, it would be Guest Services but I would be on hold for awhile.
So, we waited, again.
John and I switched phone holding duties while the other took the kids on a ride. We did this for three hours.
We walked all over The Magic Kingdom listening to that same music, praying someone would JUST.PICK.UP.
And someone finally did.
"I can't help you with that," she told me. I was almost in tears. Because we were already on property this had to be handled by the resort, she had explained. I resorted to begging, explaining that the lady told us to remain on hold because they COULD help us.
"Please let me talk to someone who can help us," I begged.
She told me there was no one and that we had to go back to the resort for help.
"Have a Magical Day."
Thankfully, in the midst of this, John found two WONDERFUL ladies who COULD and WANTED to help us at the Magic Kingdom Guest Services. I think my almost tearful face while holding the phone to my ear and the three kids looking cute with their Disney hats, helped.
The kids and I headed to Hollywood Studios without John while he waited for a conclusion to the madness.
"It's fixed," he texted me a short bit later.
We get to stay at the meth lab, I mean, Art of Animation.
The cast member who helped us gave us tickets to the Halloween party and a gift card for our troubles. Bright spot.
And so, our day ended on a good note.
3 different reservation numbers though and multiple changes on the computer managed to leave lingering consequences...
We received free dining with the vacation package we bought six months ago. We got a certain number of meal credits for our stay. However, with the multiple switching of reservations, we lost them (along with our bus reservation to take us back to the airport, we got that fixed finally too). We found out the hard way the following day as we went to scan those magical bands and hear "Oh you don't have any more meal credits." Thankfully the kind lady who helped us the day before was a text away and after we paid full price she credited our account and reimbursed us.
She's the true hero of our story.
As we continued to recover from the fog of the day before, John realized he needed to recover from motion sickness of the present day. Not as spry as he used to be, John fell victim to the sudden jerks, twists, and turns of many of the thrill rides from the day.
We head back to the resort for a bit of rest and some fun at the pool.
"Make sure you wear shoes," I tell them all as we prepare to head to the pool.
No one heeds my advice.
John pays dearly for it.
The bottom of his feet were burned.
Using what we had, we rubbed Chapstick over the forming blisters in hopes, maybe, just maybe, it would help ease the discomfort just enough so he could go with us to the Animal Kingdom.
Well, I'll go ahead and tell you, Chapstick won't do the trick.
So, the non thrill seeking mom, heads to The Animal Kingdom to ride Expedition Everest, again, with my thrill seeking kids (well Hannah is a semi thrill seeker) along with the other rides.
I told them as we inched up the incline AGAIN that they should never doubt my love for them.
John had remained laid out on the bed hoping tomorrow would be different. Thankfully, it was.
Sunday, our last day, was our most non eventful day. But we were tired. All of us. But we pressed on because tonight was The Halloween Party. And while we were thankful for the free tickets (they aren't cheap) it was so crowded and the lines were so long for candy and to meet characters that we decided, after everyone had half a bag full of candy, and we rode Space Mountain AGAIN to end our Disney vacation with a Dole Whip. It was on our list to do since we had never had one.
The Dole Whip was a great way to go out. It was delicious. It may have been one of my favorite things about Disney.
The Dole Whip.
It was redeeming.
That cold, sweet, MAGICAL, goodness.
It was good to us.
It was like a long refreshing hug, whereafter we breathed a long sigh of relief
Disney was Done.

Two Algarve PSP officers this weekend prevented a man from committing suicide from a bridge in Faro.
The incident happened during the early hours of Sunday morning.
According to reports the officers managed to talk the man down and seek professional help.
The police officers have also thanked the citizen who called police to inform them of the situation.

In Luca Guadagnino's film I Am Love, the action revolves around a prestigious Milanese family who live in Villa Necchi Campiglio, an historic mansion hidden behind the hustle and bustle of the duomo. It's easy when visiting Milan to be distracted by the stunning cathedrals and 50 flavours of gelato, but look beyond the obvious attractions and a different city is revealed, ready to engage you.
While many European cities will welcome you with an outstretched arm, Milan can appear aloof but, as Robyn Lea, author of 'Milan: discovering food, fashion and family in a private city', says, 'In the same way that deeply private or reserved people can be hard to read and often misunderstood, so is the city of Milan.'
For Australian-born Lea, who moved to Milan at the age of 18, the city's 'tastemakers' slowly reeled her in; names like Carla Sozzani, founder of 10 Corso Como, and the legendary designer Barnaba Fornasetti. 'Milan is like a big creative machine, and when you live there, you want to be a part of that energy and creative force, or you won't enjoy it,' says Lea.
Secret spaces
Consequently, Lea urges visitors to immerse themselves in creative spaces, such as Antonio Marras's concept store, an old factory where one could spend a day perusing the eclectic pieces. Finding the studio of metal sculptors Osanna and Madina Visconti di Modrone illustrates just how tricky the city can be to navigate. This intimate venue, with its intricate accessories and avant-garde homeware, remains one of the city's best-kept secrets. The atelier 'has no sign on the street and is only accessed with permission from the doorman, through the ancient internal courtyard' according to Lea.
This is where tour provider Antiques & Boutiques can help. The company provides tailor-made tours which focus on the design, style, food and culture that captures the true spirit of Milan. The company says that its tours 'are curated and led by passionate and dynamic locals who invite you to share the city that they know and love'. One of the stops on the tour is at the vintage shop Cavallie e Nastri in the Brera zone, a neighbourhood which houses many of the city's art galleries and which is dotted with interior design boutiques.
Gourmet delights
Another way to penetrate Milan's exterior is via what Italians love the most, food, and in many ways it's the culture of eating that's significant rather than the food itself. Lea advises visitors to the city to start each day with coffee al bar at Taveggia, one of the oldest patisseries in Milan.
Later in the day try Luini. Situated on Via Santa Redegonda it's been baking stuffed savoury pastries since Guiseppina Luini came to the city in 1949. 'Today the kids who used to come to eat panzerotti after school return with their own children,' the Luini family explains. Locals also flock to Ex Mauri on Via Federico Confalonieri, where Venetian dishes such as calamari ripieni (stuffed squid), pasta with courgette flowers, and crusted salt cod are light alternatives to rich and hearty Milanese cuisine. For dinner, head to chef Elio Sirroni's restaurant Ceresio 7 for exceptional views and flavours.
Finally, and in a completely different vein, the Fortura Giocattoli toyshop on Via Olmetto is the oldest in Milan, founded in 1914. It is the perfect example of somewhere that might not exude obvious appeal, yet retains a loyal following, that secures its status as a century-old artifact representing the 'real' Milan.
'The experiences most valuable take the most effort. And when a person is prepared to discover and uncover Milan and love the city even when the feeling is not reciprocated, eventually the barriers will be removed and the city will open her heart,' Lea concludes.

MYRTLE BEACH, SC (WMBF) – Tuesday's snowfall probably didn't seem record-setting, but it actually was. The snow started falling in the Pee Dee around 8 p.m. Tuesday, moving into the Grand Strand by around 11 p.m. With temperatures having been near 70 earlier in the day, none of the snow was able to stick to the ground, but a trace amount did manage to stick to cars and decks for a bit before quickly melting in the above-freezing temperatures.
Tuesday's trace snowfall tied the record for earliest snowfall in Florence. The previous record was set on November 12, 1968. Records for the Grand Strand aren't quite as clear or reliable, but yesterday's snow likely tied or beat the earliest snowfall record along the beaches. Records have been kept for roughly 100 years, and during those 100 years, snow has only fallen four times in the month of November in Florence. In fact, measurable snow has never been recorded in Florence in November.
Elsewhere in the region, Tuesday's snow showers were the earliest snow ever recorded in Wilmington where a trace amount was recorded Tuesday night. The event became Charlotte, North Carolina's sixth-earliest snowfall on record.
The cold front that brought the rain, sleet and snow to the area brought a strong arctic blast of very cold air, which will be sticking around through Thursday before temperatures begin to rise quite a bit. The WMBF Storm Team is forecasting low temperatures Thursday morning in the Pee Dee to dip down to around 25 degrees- the record low for November 14 is 26 degrees in Florence. That record may very well be broken tomorrow morning. Morning lows are expected to fall to 28 along the beaches, which will likely set a new record as well; the previous record low for November 14 in Myrtle Beach is 33.
This winter blast won't last much longer and will make way for much nicer weather in the coming days; the Storm Team is expecting temperatures to be back into the low to mid-70s by the beginning of next week.

SO much great stuff happened this past week, y'all!
I got to watch my boyfriend signal. FINALLY.
I took a quick day trip to visit Cody at his college town. I got to watch him do his work in person (formations for his college football team), which was so exciting. I'm so proud of Cody for achieving his dreams, and I look forward to going to more games!
Specifically, neutrals and darks (i.e. "Apple Cider," a peachy nude, and "Mulled Wine", a rich berry).
Pardon the snapchat screenshot, but this was the first day I wore "Mulled Wine." I've been hooked ever since.
In other news, I took a huge design (and website!) leap and transferred my author website from Blogger to Wordpress. I'm so excited about having a space to showcase my work and give writing updates and advice. I'd love to see y'all over there sometime! Check it out and follow here. (If you stop by, leave a comment and let me know that you came from here on [Savannah] in Wonderland.)
(Also, do not fear...[S]iW is still sticking around. Consider my author website my business portfolio, [S]iW my fun outlet to chat with you guys.)
Fall Weather
Fall is FINALLY upon us. It's mainly been in the sixties and seventies here in my hometown, but at the first touch of cooler weather, out came the flannels, jackets, and beanies (see snapchat screenshot above).
Indian Food
Absolutely nothing beats good indian food, y'all, especially a good Chicken Tikka Masala. My recommendations in Middle Tennessee: Shalimar (Nashville) and House of India (Franklin).
What have been your favorite things this week?

Molecular Modeling
Advanced docking strategies
Molecular recognition is the basis of biological function. Docking is among a number of structural bioinformatics strategies trying to understand molecular recognition, both to understand structure to function relationships in macromolecules, and to derive tools useful in fields like drug design.
Docking for interactomics and personalized medicine
The ultimate goal of our protein-protein docking tools and their application to the characterization of protein interactions of therapeutic interest is to contribute towards personalized medicine and drug discovery targeting protein-protein interactions.
Enzymatic Catalysis and Protein Engineering
As one of our main research lines, we model enzymatic activity addressing not only the atomic (and electronic) detailed mechanism but also suggesting mutations for changes in activity, substrate specificity, etc.
New approaches to the prediction of protein structure and interactions
The combined exploration of the sequence and structure spaces with large scale simulations leads to a new generation highly accurate prediction methods useful in applications such as the design of new drugs.
PELE: Monte Carlo methods for protein/DNA-ligand interactions
A key line of research in the lab is the development of PELE (Protein Energy Landscape Exploration), a fast and accurate Monte Carlo software for mapping protein(and DNA)-ligand interactions.
Software development for protein-protein interactions
The main focus of our research is the development and optimization for High-Performing-Computing (HPC) of computational methodology for the structural and energetic characterization of protein interactions at molecular level.
Structural modeling of complexes of biomedical interest
We generate molecular models to understand how proteins interact to form specific complexes that are fundamental in biological processes. The structural and energetic characterization of such protein-protein complexes by computational approaches aim to complement experimental efforts.

Massillon man indicted for trafficking cocaine
A federal grand jury returned a one-count indictment charging Antonio Cuevas-Baltazar, 21, of Massillon with possession with the intent to distribute cocaine, said U.S. Attorney Carole S. Rendon.
Cuevas-Baltazar possessed with the intent to distribute more than 500 grams of cocaine on Jan. 2, according to the indictment.
If convicted, the defendant's sentence will be determined by the court after review of factors unique to this case, including the defendant's prior criminal record, if any, the defendant's role in the offense and the characteristics of the violations. In all cases, the sentence will not exceed the statutory maximum and, in most cases, it will be less than the maximum.
The investigation preceding the indictment was conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Ohio State Highway Patrol. The matter is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Jason M. Katz.
An indictment is only a charge and is not evidence of guilt. A defendant is entitled to a fair trial in which it will be the government's burden to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.

There are some spoilers for the mid-season 6 premiere in this entry. If you're a yellow-belly whiner about that kind of thing, go watch the episode and let me know what you think of Daryl Dixon's shocking death.
I've been a fan of the apocalyptic genre of fiction (and in some cases non-fiction) since I was a small child. The way I got turned onto obsessing about the END TIMES was through watching episodes of The 700 Club with my grandmother. Each episode revealed how the events of The Book of Revelations were about a week away and we had all better send money or we'd be sorry.
As a little kid I was fairly unsure I'd be raptured up into the clouds with Jesus's teleporter. We watched a lot of televangelist programming, but never went to church. Since church attendance is typically a prerequisite for salvation in most sects, I was always worried we would all be left behind, just like those shockingly popular books.
In my mind, the best course of action if you found yourself cursed to live in the final days was to move all of my friends and family into a guarded cul de sac and fend off demons with explosive arrows (like Rambo). This is essentially what this entire season of The Walking Dead has been about. So in a way, this season is my childhood dream come true.
Part of the joy of zombie film is imagining the type of action you would take to survive, and what your strategy would be. If I had my career to do all over again, I would've gone to medical school. It's a gig that pays well when civilization is intact and it's indispensable when the dead walk. Just having proficiency in chopping off bitten limbs could be a specialty worth pursuing.
In a zombie apocalypse we would be forced to put aside everything except utility, at least in the short term. Eventually folks would need to get together and rebuild and soon after that, there'd be differing ideas about how to restore the world.
From Rick Grimes' bedside speech to his now monocular son CORRAL it looks like Rick has become born again on Deanna's vision of what Alexandria should be. Rick says, "Everything Deanna was talking about is possible. It's all possible now." He grabs the kid's hand and promises, "I want to show you the new world, I want to make it a reality for you" and then the episode ends with CORRAL squeezing his hand back.
Another thing I noticed in the episode is in the scene with Glenn and Enid in the church. The camera mirrors Enid's long gaze at a Bible verse on the wall of the church: Faith Without Works is Dead -James 2:26
Later in the episode the Preacher, who is finally pulling some amount of his weight, says, "our prayers have been answered, god will save Alexandria because god has given us the courage to save it ourselves." He then proceeds to lead the crew of people hiding out in his church on a major undead ass kicking spree. That is some serious pull-yourself-up-by-your-own-bootstraps theology that I can get behind.
You can't send prayers or use positive thinking in the apocalypse because talk minus action equals zombie food. But that doesn't mean faith is dispersed. For Alexandria to make it, the members have to have faith in it and take action to make that faith live. They have to believe in something more than themselves and they have to protect it.
The way I see it, that's not much different than the world we live in now.

From publisher blurb:
A riven plain. Its heath lies split beneath the snaking fall of a great tether, now a sinuous ridge amid the ruin. Survivors linger glinting in silken slopes while flayers claim nigh unbreakable fibres.
Condensed to one page for slipping in among other materials, this sandbox-oriented content is intended as an easily absorbed framework for improvisation to be adapted by the user as preferred for a wider setting and specific system.
It presents core ideas and key numbers to fall back on, with general approaches that can be applied in other situations.
The content covers map generation on the fly for an abstracted plain as well as suggestions for aspects of the locality, including groups present, a large complex, tether structure, pod loads and a possible replacement.
The spaces could be detailed using Elaboration: Structure & Surface, possibly Being: More or Less Fantastical Olde Worlde Technologies, and maybe Narrative: Abandoned Space.

BOSTON (MarketWatch) - A Massachusetts man pleaded guilty in federal court Monday to investment adviser fraud, securities fraud and wire fraud, authorities said. Barry Goodman, 42, of North Andover allegedly misappropriated $700,000 through two fraudulent investment schemes offered through his business, New England Capital Advisory Group LLC. The first involved a fictitious "initial public offering pool," according to a release issued by U.S. Attorney Michael Sullivan; Walter Ricciardi, head of the SEC's Boston District Office; and Kenneth Kaiser, special agent in charge of the FBI in New England. The second scheme involved a false "arbitrage" opportunity in Lycos Inc. Sentencing is set for Dec. 5.

Kamala Harris, new district attorney in San Francisco, promises to work on securing computers for her assistants, reports the San Francisco Chronicle. Harris, 39, must remake "a place that technologically has advanced little since the introduction of the teletype," says the paper.
Harris's mother is Indian American and her father African American, making her the first woman of color to serve as a district attorney in California. "I don't think, 'I'm the first woman,' " Harris said. "I don't think that way at all. I notice those things only in the moment when I get feedback on them."
Her first order of business as the new D.A. is to update the technology in the office. Most of the lawyers don't have computers at their desks. She also is tackling the backlog of homicide cases in the office, 40 to 50 dating back as many as four years. She is creating a child sex crimes unit.

Integrated circuit anti-theft alarm system, wire or other lack of a simple circuit. When the lack of wires or cords lacking. MOSFET, it is working or has input voltage at pin G and thus it has a high current flows through the pin D-S that Micro piezo siren was so loud.
Part ListR1 100K 1/2W 1% Resistor
R2, R4 10K 1/2W 1% Resistor
R3 1 Meg 1/2W 1% Resistor
C1, C3 0.1uF Ceramic Disc Capacitor
C2 0.01uF Ceramic Disc Capacitor
IC1 4001UBE Quad 2-i/p NOR Gate
Q1 MPSA14 Low Power NPN Transistor
SIREN Micro piezo siren 12V DC 150mA, 110dB @ 1M
LOOP See "Notes"
The loop can be any type of hookup wire, with a maximum resistance of about 90K. Using very thin wire (40AWG, for example) will make a very sensitive trip wire, but will shorten the distance it can be strung due to the high resistance.
The siren can be replaced with a relay to drive external load

It's hard to believe that a single unit could contain the genius of Trent Reznor, Atticus Ross, and Rob Sheridan and mix it with the glitzy made-for-pop range of Mariqueen Maandig, Reznor's wife.
While Reznor always dabbled with the obscure and surreal, ever since Year Zero he's spent more time with focusing those energies in emotive minimalism instead of angst-ridden trip hop (although elements of both remain consistent in his style). This has culminated in Reznor and Ross collaborating on multiple, gorgeous ambient projects, two of which were film scores, one of which won them a Grammy, and eventually resulted in the formation of How To Destroy Angels, their current project.
They released their first, self-titled EP back in 2010, and it showed a lot of potential, but was lacking a certain punch that was present in Reznor and Ross' other work. It was apparent a large focus of the band was on the drums. By comparison to how Florence + the Machine use heavy live drums that have the strength of an army march, How To Destroy Angels focus their electronic programming to have both a dance and funk vibe.
They released their second EP, 'an omen,' in November of last year, and came out with 'Ice Age,' a track that will also appear on their debut album. The track features string plucking that sounds like it could be straight off Nine Inch Nails, 'The Fragile,' and yet, the track feels entirely modern and new. A 7-minute minimalist epic, the track features some of Angels best and most poignant lyrics to date.
Now, the band is set to drop their first album, 'Welcome Oblivion,' in March of this year, and they've just released their next video for a track titled, 'How Long,' which seems to find their unique minimalism and poppy undertones coalescing into something that's a mix of new and old, and yet remains entirely catchy and sing-a-long-able.
If you've been a fan of any of Reznor and Ross' work, I strongly suggest you guys check these out. Welcome Oblivion is set to release March 5, 2012.

You may recall our Press Release Announcing our Year Long Photo Documentary Project with the Atlanta Music Project. This collaboration concluded yesterday at the Center for Ethics with the 2012 Winter Concert and Photo Exhibit.
Special thanks to Dantes Rameau and the Atlanta Music Project for this tremendous offering yesterday in dedicating the program to me. I was blown away when the announcement was made. I am humbled by and grateful for the opportunity to work with you over the past year. The exhibit of the My True Vision Photography year long photo documentary at the Emory Center for Ethics and seeing the parents/children's faces was an honor. Thank you so much.
