During last year's poor spring, the Scarce Chasers on the Nene started to emerge around 24 May. This year, with the even worse spring, I saw the first ones today, 1 week late. I did think that by now the dragonflies would have caught up with the weather, but we are still about 1 week behind schedule. I managed to find just two tenerals, so there are still plenty more to come and the predicted good weather this weekend may see a mass emergence. Also present were 100+ Banded Demoiselle (a good increase on the 30 last weekend), a handful of Large Red Damselflies and a single Azure Damselfly.

Microsoft takes it in the shorts.
First quarter 2006 earnings for MSFT surprised analysts, resulting in a bunch of downgrades and an almost 11% one day loss of value for the company.
The old joke goes "We lose money on every item we sell, but we make it up in volume." Microsoft has been following this strategery with the Xbox for years. It's a case of pure oneupsmanship with Sony: "Gotta have the better hardware and better games!" The result is both companies are pumping out huge quantities of consoles and losing money like crazy. The big winners are the software companies - as long as there is intense rivalry between Microsoft and Sony, they get to pick and choose where to go and get to pay lower licensing fees.
Furthermore, MSFT missed shipping their new Operating System in time for Christmas. Let me be brutally honest here: Operating systems are becoming irrelevant. Within a matter of the next three to five years, most applications you use everyday will be through the interface of your browser. It won't matter if you're using Linux, Windows, or OS X. It'll all be the same. Think I'm wrong? Take a look at salesforce.com, Googles new efforts such as their purchase of writely, and quickbooks, which has an online version of their incredibly popular accounting software.
Microsoft is missing yet another trend. Why isn't there a web version of Office?

What benefit could they possibly see in doing this. This totally defeats the purpose of their region to region services. "KRA introduces region to region services - although some days we've just decided to make you go via CHC when you could do that cheaper on Air NZ"

The easiest way to make haunted house props is to look for things you already have at home. Common household items like hangers and sheets can be used in props. Buy whatever else you need to complete the prop at a hardware or retail store.
One idea for a haunted house prop is to make fake guts. These can be positioned to look as if they are falling out of a body or clothing and require little more than a couple of cans of items used to repair and decorate the home. Purchase a can of expanding spray foam insulation and at least one can of spray-on paint. Spray the foam onto a cardboard surface to create several pieces of varying lengths. Aim to make shapes that resemble human parts like intestines. Once dry, spray the foam pieces with red paint. You can apply a general coat for a basic look or add touches of brown and other shades in the creases for a more realistic look. The pieces can then be removed from the cardboard and placed inside a pant leg or other piece of clothing. Toss the foam guts and clothing with splashes of fake blood bought from a costume store or a solution you've made at home with dye.

Iran Keen to Boost Nuclear Cooperation with EU
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Spokesman for the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran voiced the country's resolve to broaden interaction with the European Union in the nuclear industry within the framework of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).
Iran is determined to gradually enhance international cooperation with the European Union in the nuclear industry according to the JCPOA, the nuclear agreement between Tehran and the Group 5+1 (Russia, China, the US, Britain, France and Germany), Behrouz Kamalvandi said in the central city of Isfahan on Tuesday.
He made the comments during a new round of negotiations between Iran and the EU to boost cooperation in the field of peaceful nuclear technology. The talks, focusing on "nuclear cooperation, achievements and prospects", began in Tehran on Monday and is proceeding in Isfahan.
Elsewhere in his comments, Kamalvandi stressed the need for the international community to protect the JCPOA, saying that Iran will keep honoring the deal as long as the other parties comply with the obligations in the text and spirit of the nuclear accord.
Last month, delegations from Iran and the EU held a 2-day round of talks in Brussels on a second joint project to grow bilateral nuclear safety cooperation.
The two sides had launched their first cooperation project of 2.5 million euro in the field of nuclear safety in July.
The first project had been signed back in April within the framework of the JCPOA.
The interaction is part of a five-million-euro package approved in 2016 with regard to Iran-EU cooperation on nuclear safety, according to which the EU helps the implementation of Annex III of the JCPOA.

Press release
Micro business boost will transform the economy
Lord Young, the Prime Minister's Enterprise Adviser, publishes Growing your Business: A report on Growing Micro Businesses.
Helping thousands more new businesses get off the ground by expanding the Government's Start-Up loan scheme and opening up further the £230 billion worth of public sector contracts to the smallest businesses will help boost growth and transform the economy according to the Prime Minister's enterprise adviser, Lord Young.
In his second report to the Prime Minister, Growing your Business: A report on Growing Micro Businesses, Lord Young highlights the increasing importance that micro businesses – those which have less than 10 employees – have on the success of the economy. Making up 95% of all businesses, he identifies steps the Government can take to help them develop their confidence and capability to grow, helping the UK to get ahead in the global race.
Lord Young on his Growing Your Business report.
He recommends removing the age cap – currently set at 30 years old – for the Government's Start-Up loan scheme, so that all entrepreneurs that would otherwise struggle to secure the necessary finance and support can benefit.
The Start-Up loan scheme helps get business ideas off the ground with a loan of typically around £4,500 and mentoring support. It has exceeded expectations by 50% in its first year, with 3,768 loans worth around £16m now issued since its launch in the autumn. Many of these new businesses are now taking on their own employees.
Further recommendations in Lord Young's report include:
Legislating to abolish pre qualification questionnaires (PQQ) on contracts under €200k across the public sector, and setting "single market" principles which suppliers can expect when doing business with the public sector. These principles would simplify and standardise the bidding, payment and advertising of contracts, and would remove the complexity, cost and inconsistency when trying to sell to more than one local authority or public sector body. This would help SMEs further access the £230 billion per year that is spent on goods and services across the whole public sector.
A £30m Growth Voucher programme to encourage more small firms to get specialist help on: expanding their workforce; marketing a business; financial management and growing online. Businesses that use external advice at key stages in their development grow faster than those that do not - but too few are taking this up.
A greater role for business schools in the local economy with the establishment of a new national "Supporting Small Business Charter" and accompanying award scheme to incentivise business schools to help SMEs grow. This will include advising small firms and increasing the flow of highly qualified students and graduates into SMEs. Business schools could also become a key part of the referral process and provision of Start-Up Loans and Growth Vouchers.
Enabling the private sector to provide advice to SMEs on the Government's website GOV.UK and releasing the online SME advice that the Government holds after the closure of the Business Link website to third party providers for them to rebuild and improve.
Better marketing of Government schemes to support new and developing businesses by ensuring they are properly resourced and targeted at the small firms that need them most.
The Government will now take these recommendations forward.
Lord Young said:
We have one of the best environments in the world for the creation of new firms. What this report endeavours to do is to help and encourage all those new firms to now take on their first employees and grow.
Growing our smallest businesses would transform our economy – they are the vital 95%. If just half of the UK's micro businesses took on an additional member of staff, unemployment would be reduced to almost zero. We need to raise the aspirations and confidence of these businesses and give them the tools to grow.
Prime Minister David Cameron said:
It is very much true that Lord Young brings solutions to the table – his excellent report highlights the steps we can take to fire up business growth, helping to boost our competitiveness and ensuring the UK can get ahead in the fierce global race we are in. I thank him very much for his report.
Business Minister Michael Fallon said:
We are supporting ambitious small firms to grow, create jobs and achieve their goals. Whether that's by providing access to mentoring and advice, cutting red tape or through successful schemes like Start-Up Loans. But we are determined to go further and faster: Lord Young's important report sets out a series of practical steps that can make a real difference to entrepreneurs across the country.
James Caan, Chairman of Start-Up Loans and serial entrepreneur said:
I very much welcome the recommendations from Lord Young's report to make Start-Up Loans available for everyone in this country. His vision to get Britain's economy back on track through supporting SMEs and start-ups is something I passionately believe in and wholeheartedly support. The success of Start-Up Loans to date - an initiative that Lord Young has championed in Government - demonstrates the country's need for such ambitious thinking.
Notes to editors
Growing your Business is Lord Young's second report in his capacity as advisor to the Prime Minister on small business and enterprise. His first report, Make Business Your Business, was published in May 2012, and focused on starting a business. He now turns his attention to how micro businesses can grow.
Start-Up Loans (SULs) were launched in September 2012 as one of Lord Young's key announcements in his report Make Business Your Business. They provide funding and mentoring to help young people get their business ideas off the ground. In January 2013, Government increased the age limit from 18-24 up to 30 and boosted the fund by a further £30m to respond to increased demand; this took the total available funds to £117.5 m.
The Government will now work alongside the Start-Up Loans Company to extend the reach of SULs through the removal of age restrictions. We expect the first loans for over-30s to be made over the summer.
The Start-Up Loans Company is a private business, established and chaired by James Caan and funded by government and global partners who bring additional value to the table through free and discounted offers on products and services. All proceeds from repaid loans are recycled to the benefit of the programme. Start-Up Loans has over 40 Delivery Partners to administer loans and mentoring, operating across England.
The proposal for Growth Vouchers began with a British Chambers of Commerce suggestion to jump start small businesses' take up of specialist help by way of a voucher scheme. Lord Young secured funding of £30 million at the Budget for the programme. The Department for Business have now issued an expression of interest for private sector organisations who are interested in working with the Government to deliver this scheme, and partners will be appointed by the end of this year. Research shows that firms that seek advice are more likely to grow, but less than half of SMEs seek advice (BIS Small Business Survey, 2012).
The Government supports Lord Young's vision for a stronger link between business schools and new and growing small businesses. The Department for Business will now work in collaboration with the Association of Business Schools (ABS) to develop this Charter and Award Scheme and build on examples of business schools that are already working with small firms to help them improve their capability and skills. Government will also work with the ABS to look at ways business schools can be part of the referral and delivery of Growth Vouchers and Start-Up Loans, as part of the Charter and its accompanying award scheme.
The Association of Business Schools (ABS) represents over 130 UK business schools (higher education stakeholders, international and corporate members). Its members conduct world class research and provide a wide portfolio of business and management degrees to students from across the globe.
Public procurement offers suppliers £230bn of potential business each year. Central Government has already taken steps to ensure that all Whitehall departments use a common approach in the way they deliver their procurements - in particular in the thresholds used for pre qualification, payment terms and the way contracts are advertised, monitored and reported. Other public sector bodies are demonstrating good practice in way they engage small suppliers in their procurement - as highlighted by the first national 'Best Councils' competition, led by Lord Young and the Secretary of State for Communities, the winners of which are to be announced shortly. But Government agrees with Lord Young that reform is required to simplify and standardise procurement practice across all parts of Local Government, health trusts and the wider public sector and provide greater certainty for business seeking to compete for public sector business. The Government will consult on the high level standards which all public bodies should be looking to achieve in their procurement to provide greater certainty for business.
Government agrees that it needs a robust, evidence-based strategy for communications to all micro, small and medium sized businesses and that more needs to be done to increase awareness of schemes and, importantly, understanding about how to access them. Government has begun by delivering scheme-specific and targeted marketing to small businesses to promote a number of key small business programmes including; SEED EIS, Start-Up Loans: Regional Growth Fund programmes and the Enterprise Finance Guarantee scheme. At the same time, Government is developing an overarching communications strategy that will create a single online destination for all specific products and campaigns so that businesses can easily find out about the range of support available, aligned under one coherent, aligned brand.
GOV.UK became the central delivery point for online information and support to start-up and growing businesses, replacing Business Link in October 2012. Much of the content on the site is available to third parties to share and Government has been working in partnership with a large number of organisations, both public and private sector, to encourage them to use the content to supplement their own information provided to SMEs. Work is ongoing to extend the amount of content available for syndication.
Much of the analysis and support for business described in this report is applicable to all parts of the UK. However, Lord Young's review and its conclusions focus on the position in England, accepting that other arrangements apply in the devolved administrations.
The Rt Hon the Lord Young of Graffham PC DL graduated from University College London before becoming a solicitor. He spent a year in the profession before moving on to establish a number of successful businesses. He became Chairman of the Manpower Services Commission in 1982, entered the Cabinet in 1984, became Secretary of State for Employment in 1985 and in 1987 became Secretary of State for Trade and Industry and President of the Board of Trade. He was Executive Chairman of Cable and Wireless plc from 1990 to 1995 and thereafter Chairman of Young Associates Ltd, which invests in new technologies. Lord Young is an adviser to the Prime Minister on small business and enterprise.
The Government is taking a series of measures to help small businesses grow. These include:
A new Employment Allowance which means that every business and charity in the country is now automatically entitled to a £2,000 cut in national insurance.
Steps towards the creation of a Government-backed business bank. The bank has been given £1bn of new Government funding, with £300m of this being invested by the Government along side private investors over the next two years to provide diverse sources of funding for SMEs.
A package of credit easing measures, to improve the supply of affordable credit to SMEs across the country, such as the Funding for Lending Scheme to support supply of credit to the whole economy, and the £1.2bn Business Finance Partnership to stimulate the development of alternatives to bank finance.
Supporting SMEs who lack sufficient track record or collateral to access bank finance by providing a Government guarantee on their loan. Since May 2010, over 10,000 SMEs have been offered Enterprise Finance Guarantee loans with a total value in excess of £1.04bn.
Increasing our commitment to venture capital investment and filling the equity gap for early stage innovative SMEs through the Enterprise Capital Fund programme. Since May 2010, more than 70 companies have received new investment totalling £95m.
Encouraging a more enabling environment for investment in SMEs through tax incentives – launching the Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme (SEIS) and expanding the Enterprise Investment Scheme (EIS) and the Business Angel Co-Investment Fund, which aims to support angel investments into high growth potential early stage SMEs.

Sam Amrani and Max Birner of TAMOCO
Location: London Delivery Partner: Start-Up Direct
Business partners Sam and Max decided to combine their complimentary expertise and capitalise on the growing Near Field Communications market and establish their start-up TAMOCO.
Since graduating after reading History and Law at UCL and QMUL, Sam worked in business development for mobile company EE where he had great exposure to the world of technology. Max graduated from the University of the Arts, London after reading Retail Management and worked in the financial sector in operations and investment management. The business partners set up TAMOCO in October 2012.
TAMOCO provides a portal that bridges the world between digital and physical platforms which allows B2C organisations to innovatively interact with their customers by providing innovative, customised, geolocation-based advertising, information and function based NFC campaigns. These campaigns can include website links, app downloads, instant social network following, tap to wifi and voucher downloads. The customer need only 'tap' their mobile phone over a tag which may appear on a poster, product or window. The customer will benefit by having easy access to a campaign that they are interested in and the organisation will benefit from the huge client base they can reach and from tracking the tagging to analyse unprecedented insights into what customers are interested in.
By February, TAMOCO was in need of funding to develop the core business platform, manage the data and finish off the product. After researching loans, Sam and Max came across The Start-Up Loan Company and decided to apply. They were assigned a mentor, Robert Luke, who provided assistance from the outset and whom they continue to work closely with. Luke's advice has been extremely helpful and he has connected Sam and Max with some fantastic people.
TAMOCO has got off to an extremely impressive start since its launch. Sam and Max have secured deals with a range of high profile corporates included Coca Cola and Hilton. In addition to Sam and Max, Tamoco has recruited twelve employees since drawing down the loan monies. These placements include seven full time employees.
The Start-Up Loans Company has enabled us to speed up the development of our company and secure clients in an industry which is all about the first mover advantage, and the additional benefits of having a mentor have allowed us to tap into a level of experience that has enabled us to start formulating the future of the company.
Simon Finch of Finch Installations
Location: Swindon Delivery Partner: South West Investment Group (SWIG)
Simon Finch was granted a £9,000 Start-Up Loan to start his shop fitting business, Finch Installations.
After 11 years in the construction industry, Simon made the decision to set up his own venture after the company he was working for lost a number of major contracts. Simon was approached by the installations manager who was in charge of re-allocating these contracts and was offered the contracts. Simon saw this as an opportunity too good to pass up so he began working on his business plan, financial forecasts and registering his company.
Once everything was in place, Simon needed to secure some funding to enable him to start trading. After searching for star-up funding, Simon came across The Start-Up Loans Company and was just within the age limit. He applied for a loan through Delivery Partner SWIG and felt supported from the outset. He found the whole process swift and efficient and the loan monies were in his account within 4 weeks from applying. John was assigned a mentor who has provided invaluable advice.
Simon has already recruited a team of 10, including 6 sub-contractors and 4 casual labourers to assist him with fulfilling Finch Installations' contracts. Simon says "managing people and teams as well as the invoicing, time-sheets and payments along with all of the other clerical duties has proved to be a challenge but is extremely fulfilling.
Finch Installations have excelled all of the financial forecasts that Simon drew up. Finch Installations is working on fittings for some high-profile clients including Asda, Tesco and J Sainsbury's. Simon is now considering approaching new customers and pitching for business and he is looking forward to working with his mentor in this regard. Simon also has had assistance from Leanne Morrison who is his accounts manager.
The help I received from my Start-Up Loan Delivery Partner, South West Investment Group, in particular John Peters, was, and continues to be fantastic and above and beyond the standard that I had expected. I was also assigned a mentor as part of my loan agreement. This proved to be invaluable in helping me to deal with any aspects of running a business that I was a little unsure of.
Additional quotes:
Professor Angus Laing, Dean of the School of Business and Economics at University of Loughborough and Chair of the Association of Business Schools said:
I welcome the far reaching recommendations of Lord Young's report and wholeheartedly accept his invitation to lead a national program to develop links between business schools, their faculty and students and small business. The support of the Association of Business Schools for the concept of a supporting small business charter and award scheme is reflective of our member schools shared belief in the role of business schools within the wider community as key economic drivers.

Mother's Day is less than two weeks away, and two of Hemingbough Plantation's peacocks may be able to celebrate for the first time. The hens have learned from other peacock moms and nested in locations safe from wild predators.
The Hemingbough Plantation grounds are popular sites for weddings and other events. Just as famous as the picturesque landscape is the wildlife - especially the eleven peacocks which roam the property.
"We started with two 29 years ago, and all the peacocks that have been on this grounds in 29 years have all been raised here," said Arlin Dease, owner of Hemingbough.
Dease says two females, called hens, will soon have their babies on the grounds.
"They're in the wild. They have a chance to fly or to reproduce anywhere they would like," said Dease. "They're not captive in any way. I like the fact that they just choose to stay here."
He says these hens have gotten smart and laid their eggs in flower urns - hidden from other animals and guaranteeing they will grow up and become a part of the landscape of Hemingbough that visitors love so much.
"Many times when the bride will be having her pictures taken, a male will come up and just fan right in front of her...attracted to the white dress or whatever," said Dease.
Dease says once the baby peacocks are born they will all be moved into flight cages where they will stay until they grow big enough to roam the grounds.

The eye can be examined with relative ease regarding both its function and its structure. A practical evaluation includes the capability to move in the orbit and the response of the student to light and accommodation.
The function of the eye might be checked in a number of ways. The client may be asked to recognize illuminated letter or items of differing sizes on what is known as the Snellen chart.
Alternatively, the evaluation of the structural part of the eye may be made in numerous methods. Stress within the eyeball is measured by a "tonometer." In particular diseases, particularly in glaucoma, the stress in the eyeball is increased markedly.
Nevertheless, it must be well bore in mind that a patient with an eye problem might have other problems too. Often other physical conditions are primary and impact the eye as a effect. The appearance of the eye can signal the doctor and the client to problems in some disturbances of other parts of the body even prior to other symptoms present themselves.
Subsequently, one's reliance on sight is stressed when one faces a possible or momentary permanent loss of this vital sense. When corrective steps are looked for, certain types of vision correction such as contact lenses or glasses are recommended.
On the other hand, some individuals are troubled with the truth that they have some framed lenses or contact lenses in front of their eyes.
For this reason, advanced surgical operations were developed to motivate reduced usage of contact lenses or glasses. One of which is the now popular LASIK eye surgical treatment.
Basically, LASIK eye surgery is the brief term for "Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis." Like its concrete equivalent, LASIK eye surgical treatment is another form of vision correction. The only distinction is that with this kind of surgical treatment, one's vision is remedied completely.
With LASIK eye surgical treatment, the refractive mistakes in the cornea are completely changed. This can be done using an "excimer laser."
The main purpose of this surgical treatment is to create a threadlike, rounded "flap" in the cornea using a blade known as "microkeratome." In a series of unfolding and laser processing, the cornea is finally reformed, permitting much better the eye to direct more light into the retina.
Popularity vs. Disadvantages
Amidst the growing appeal of LASIK eye surgery, there are still disadvantages that people need to understand. Most likely, the primary reason why this type of eye surgical treatment has actually become well accepted is since most of its cases had been successful.
In spite of its success, there are still some disadvantages. Here is the list:
1. It is an operation used to the most delicate part of the eye
Since LASIK eye surgical treatment involves the operation of the retina, which is one of the most sensitive parts of the eye, the majority of people say that the operation can check my reference be really dangerous.
Simply puts, a easy mistake could nearly cause an person's lifetime blindness. For this reason, it is crucial to think about many elements prior to deciding whether LASIK eye surgical treatment is the right restorative step one has to undergo.
2. It is not a perfect treatment
LASIK eye surgery might remedy your vision however it does not necessarily indicate that it can provide you a twenty-twenty. Even if analytical reports reveal that 70% of the clients might have 20/20 vision, this does not always mean they have ideal vision.
Provided all these things, it can be deduced that, in spite of the appeal of the operation, LASIK may not always be the ideal eye surgery the way the majority of people see it
On the other hand, the evaluation of the structural part of the eye may be made in numerous methods. It ought to be well remembered that a patient with an eye problem may have other problems. Typically other physical conditions are main and impact the eye as a consequence. The appearance of the eye can notify the physician and the patient to problems in some disruptions of other parts of the body even before other signs provide themselves.
Like its concrete counterpart, LASIK eye surgery is another form of vision correction.

Because I gave my word I'd post about this project, here it is.
I decided earlier on to make a lot of my presents this year as they have a deeper meaning for me [plus I'm on a student budget]. I saw this little critter on A More Green & Simple Life and knew I just HAD to have one. So, I found some old socks, got out the two sewing kits we have and got to work:
It took four attempts to get the ears right, but I've finally conquered that.
Changed the eyes too…
My two little 'uns – Roger and Boris (who shall be given to Yana in Spring).
I've two more to make and then I just have to finish making my mum's bookmark, then I am done!

Soup has been the thing to ease me back into cooking. And even though it's not squash season, I have a thing for butternut soup. In spite of my having about 4 trusted recipes for it in my chaotic binder, I had to try this new one. The pumpkin seeds, the chipotle chilies in adobo, the rosemary. How could I resist? I'll definitely be making this again. It's from Sara Foster's Fresh Every Day, a book you'll be seeing more of over the next few posts.
Chipotle-Squash Soup with Fresh Rosemary and Toasted Pumpkin Seeds
1 small winter squash (pumpkin, butternut or acorn - 2 to 2 1/2 pounds), halved and seeds removed
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 large yellow onion, chopped
2 large carrots, chopped
1 red bell pepper, cored, seeded and chopped
2 garlic cloves, chopped
6 cups chicken or vegetable broth
2 chipotle chilies in adobo, seeded and chopped
2 teaspoons sea salt, plus more to taste
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more to taste
2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary
1/2 cup pumpkin seeds, toasted and salted, for garnish
1. Preheat oven to 400F
2. Place squash, cut side down, on a baking sheet with sides. Add 1 cup water and 1 tablespoon of the olive oil to the pan and roast the squash until it is soft to the touch, 40-45 minutes
3. Meanwhile, melt the butter and the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil together in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion, reduce the heat to low, and cook, stirring occasionally, for 10-15 minutes, until the onion is very soft and light brown. Add carrots and bell pepper and continue to cook until carrots are soft, about 10 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring constantly for 1-2 minutes, until it's fragrant but not brown.
4. Add the broth, chipotle chilies, 2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and bring the soup to a low boil over medium-high heat. While the soup is coming to a boil, scoop out the squash flesh with a large spoon. Discard the skin and add the flesh to the soup. Reduce heat to low and simmer, uncovered, for 25-30 minutes.
5. Remove soup from the heat and stir in rosemary. Allow to cool slightly before pureeing. Working in batches if necessary, pour the soup into the bowl of a food processor fitted with a metal blade and puree until smooth. Or, puree the soup directly in the pot, using an immersion blender. Reheat if necessary, and serve warm, garnished with toasted pumpkin seeds.
Cook's Notes
1. Make extra pumpkin seeds. I've never actually toasted them before, and I followed the recipe sidebar recommendation to toss them in good quality sea salt when done. So good. I could have eaten just a bowl of those for dinner.
2. These are the times I am so thankful for my immersion blender. After a disastrous blender-soup- kitchen floor trio a few years ago, this is my preferred way to puree soup. Right in the pot.
3. This had more of a kick than I expected. Maybe because it was a challenge to get the seeds out of the chipotle chilies. Even though I diligently scraped away, a few stray seeds made it into the soup. I like spicy food so it wasn't a problem, but if you don't, make sure to get all those seeds out.

Hi, I'm new to this sew-a-long. I missed the skirt by a few days, but I still might make one eventually. I've already picked out a bag pattern and my fabric. I'm going to make a knitting bag to carry all my stuff, customized so I know I'll have all the pockets I need. I'm also going to make one for a friend (shhh, it's a secret) and her birthday is in the second week of April, so I'll have to hustle. Can't wait to get started!

Hi There!
If you love a vampy, blood red polish - you're in luck! One of the first places I started when checking out my polish hunting ground was my new local Dollar Tree, and I LUCKED OUT! The cosmetic section was loaded with twin packs of discontinued Max Factor polishes, which means, yes, I paid only fifty cents a piece! What a Deal! My first to try was Crimson Surge. What can I say? I'm a sucker for a dark polish in the fall! ;)
I don't have much experience with Max Factor polishes. Crimson Surge is a deep, dark blood red polish with deep red shimmer. Only issue is - you can see the shimmer in the bottle, but not on the nail. Well, you can if you look closely in the sun. Application was really good, I needed two coats. Hey, what can I say? I'm a sucker for a good dark polish!
Overall, I can't WAIT to try the rest of my Max Factor Diamond Hard polishes!

I spend most of my day blahing…so why can't I blah that easily when it comes to blogging? This outfit isn't even that special…ARGH!
Oh, of course I'm not short on excuses!
First I moved to my new home…which is an Openspace sim and required some work. Pix and LM! Please come and visit! I bite! 😉
Second…I have a new keyboard…since Friday….*coughs*…erm…ya, that's it actually…*coughs*
For this outfit I went straight to Armidi. Yes, I know…it isn't exactly a brilliant new fashion find, but I knew what I was looking for. I had the urge to get a new outfit for my chubby avatar. I buy a lot of stuff which is meant for that shape, but don't fit/don't work/whatever. So this time I was determined to do it right, by chasing for non-prim-items only.
The top fits me very well, because it covers the belly *coughs* and it's nice looking with big tits *coughs*. The pants have the cuffs already printed on, so you don't have to work on clumpy prims that add to your thunder-thighs.
I added the torn white socks from Canimal…I somehow don't like the legs naked, don't ask me why. They might look wrong for some *hrhr*
Overall it's nothing special, but it fits well and its colours aren't a punch in your face/eye/where ever you like to be punched. Sorry for the cool but bad pic, the shoes from Periquita come with a decent heel and a cute grey flower on the side. The ring's from TOSL, cute detailed cherries for your fingers. (necklace available as well, I think ;-))
The earrings from creamshop have shiny bits and come in a pile of cool colours. Fatpack's best! 😉
Click on the pic will bring you to my flickr…Yaaaay!
top: Cotton Fringe Cami – Red from Armidi (Elephant Outfitters? Is that Armidi or not?)
pants: Cherry Picking Knee High Jeans – Black from Armidi (look cherries! *hrhr*)
socks: Torn socks over stockings – white from Canimal
shoes: "Fat Lulu" Black from Periquita (fat?!?)
earrings: Glam earring (red) M from CREAMSHOP
ring: *Fruitylicious* Ring v1.4 Cerises from Tree of SLTree & Ocean SL
hair: o – black from fashionably dead
eyes: who cares? 😉
skin: DEC SKIN 03-a from BP*
pose: Pinchy shoulders, Epic love. from PUDGE
ARC: 1071(which has nothing to do with lag, or at least not much)

The homestead museum of Kollsberg in Torsby is located at the head of beautiful Lake Fryken. The museum gathers a large number of original wooden houses with traditional furnishings. All houses and buildings stood once in or near Torsby. From the museum grounds, you can enjoy a great view of the lake and the surrounding countryside.
One of the buildings is a traditional Finnish smoke house. Smoke houses were built without a chimney, so that the smoke and warmth from the fireplace would stay under the roof. You can also visit an 18th-century country store, where you can buy old-fashioned candy. In the old storehouse, a collection of original artefacts will tell you more about the development of Torsby from a stone age settlement to the regional centre that it is now.
The museum café offers homebaked refreshments and local specialties. Next to the museum, you will find a public bathing area down by the lake.

Can't you see I'm holding your flag
The one that you left on the ground
Well is the world too heavy for you?
And if it makes you feel better, I'll carry it, too
No one's gonna stand in your light
Impressions are easy to fight
But until you turn to me and say
You don't need anyone to carry the weight, I will stay
Bring it on home to me
Isn't it good to be free?
Can't you see I'm wearing your shirt
The one with the heart on the sleeve
Everyone can see you've been hurt
But honey don't give up on me
When you gonna make up your mind?
When you gonna get out of bed?
Well everyday you're gonna find
Broken promises are no worse than words never said
Bring it on home to me
You're always givin' it all away
Then you want someone to come along and save the day
But you make it much too hard
You can bring it home to me
Abilene, oh
Bring it on home to me
Isn't it good to be free?

We were lucky enough to get Hiten Shah, the Co-Founder of KISSmetrics to get on the line with us for about an hour and do a brain dump on how KISSmetrics kills it with content marketing.
He covered all kinds of things about how to avoid vanity metrics, what type of content draws in the most customers and not just pageviews etc.

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
John Pilger's documentary "The War You Don't See".
It did the rounds on facebook recently, as it aired in the UK this past week. I thought i'd share it for non-UKers or for anyone who missed it.
Very insightful and a complete change to the usual drivel which we are expected to believe.
Not to be missed.

Drew Doughty played on a world junior championship team with Canada in 2008, a gold medal-winning club in the 2010 Olympics and a Stanley Cup winner with the Kings in 2012. He also was a finalist for the Norris Trophy as the NHL's top defenseman in 2010.
Is he ready for a new role as mentor to the Kings' Kiddie Korps on the blue line?
"No, I don't think so," Doughty said in mock horror Friday.
Although he's only 23, Doughty has the accomplished resume of an older defenseman.
Coach Darryl Sutter, careful to avoid placing too heavy of a burden on Doughty's still-youthful shoulders, mixed his defense pairs in the wake of injuries to veterans Matt Greene (back) and Willie Mitchell (knee). Doughty started playing with Keaton Ellerby last week.
Ellerby, acquired recently from the Florida Panthers, is actually a year older than Doughty. There's no comparing their work experience, however.
Ellerby had played only regular-season 116 games going into this season; Doughty had played in 316 games.
It's a far different pairing than when Doughty was playing alongside Rob Scuderi, 34.
"Things change," Doughty said. "You're not going to be with one guy forever. I'm enjoying the role of trying to help them with things and teach them different systems and whatnot. It's fun. I love playing with (Ellerby). It's been working well. We're getting better and better."
Doughty, part II
The Kings rebounded smartly from their disjointed 3-2 loss Sunday to the Chicago Blackhawks to record matching 3-1 victories Tuesday over the Edmonton Oilers and Wednesday over the Calgary Flames to conclude their three-game trip.
So, what changed?
"I don't think there's anything different," Doughty said. "It's just everyone realizing we can't just go through the motions. We're not going to win that way. We're going to have to work at it. Just because we were a good team in the playoffs last year doesn't mean things are going to come easily."
Home at last
No team in the NHL has racked up as many frequent-flier miles as the Kings so far this season. But that changes dramatically starting this afternoon, with the Kings playing host to the Colorado Avalanche and beginning a stretch of 13 of their next 16 games at Staples Center.
The Kings (7-6-2) played only four of their first 15 games on home ice, the fewest in the NHL.
"It's really good to be home," Doughty said. "I know everyone is excited to get this little homestand going. We've got a lot of big games at home. Being on the road for so long to start the season is tough. To finally get this stretch in front of the home fans … is a huge advantage for us."
Martinez skates alone
Alec Martinez's upper-body injury is "getting better," he said before going for a solo skate after his teammates practiced. When he joins them for a full-contact workout is anyone's guess, however. Martinez and Sutter each said there was no timetable for the defenseman's return from injured reserve.
Martinez was hurt in the Kings' victory Feb. 11 over the St. Louis Blues.
Avs get Landeskog back
The Avalanche will have captain Gabriel Landeskog back on the ice today.
Last season's NHL Rookie of the Year recently returned to practice after sitting out 11 games with a concussion. He will play on the same line as Paul Stastny and David Jones.
Forward Milan Hejduk is expected to play as well. The 37-year-old left Wednesday's overtime win over St. Louis with a torso injury.

Even though there has been just one Popeyes Bahamas Bowl in the history of college football, it's going to be tough for Middle Tennessee and Western Michigan to top last years rendition.
The Central Michigan Chippewas and Western Kentucky Hilltoppers saw a 49-14 lead blown in the 4th quarter and an 8 plus lateral play with 1 second to go, followed by a failed two point conversion to end the game.
Don't think these two teams can't provide similar entertainment though. Both have the ability to put points on the board and will come with extreme motivation in this one.
Middle Tennessee
The Blue Raiders used their young freshman QB to propel them through C-USA as they finished 7-5 and can consider this season a success with a win over WMU here.
Middle Tennessee finished the season on a 4 game winning streak, including a win over Marshall to solidify their spot in a bowl game.
Freshman QB Brent Stockstill set the C-USA freshman passing record with with 3678 yards. He led a team that averaged 34.2 points and that won their last two games by a combined 69 points.
The Blue Raiders defense was the reason behind their early season struggles. MTSU stood tall down the stretch of the season as they allowed their final 2 opponents to score just 14 points combined.
Since the 2006 season, MTSU has made 5 bowl games and their last bowl win came in the New Orleans Bowl in 2009.
Western Michigan
The Broncos had their chances to win the MAC West this year, but a major slip down the stretch of the season was the reason for their dismay.
Still, the Broncos finished the season off in style as they beat the Toledo Rockets, in Toledo, to ruin their chances at the MAC West Title.
The Broncos offer a balanced attack that sat 2nd in the MAC. Junior quarterback Zach Terrell was one of the best QBs as he offered a solid variety of down field attacks thanks in large part to his receivers.
WRs Daniel Braverman and Corey Davis were the first duo of receivers to go for 1100 yards each since 2012. Combined, the receivers had 23 touchdowns to their credit.
Overall, the Broncos offense averaged 35.2 yards per game.
NCAA Football Handicapping Trends
- Blue Raiders are 22-8 ATS in their last 30 games after allowing less than 170 yards passing in their previous game.
- Blue Raiders are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 Thursday games.
- Blue Raiders are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games in December.
- Western Michigan Broncos are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 Thursday games.
- Broncos are 11-3 ATS in their last 14 games following a straight up win.
Free Bahamas Bowl NCAA Football Prediction
It's safe to say things would have to go haywire to see the same kind of ending as last year.
Still, both teams have the ability to make this game fun. Look for both teams to pull out some trickery, with this one going either way.
4* Free NCAA Betting Pick: Western Michigan ATS
With the way the Broncos can hit the deep ball, they offer a bit more of a threat here. Expect them to go down field a lot and pick on the Blue Raiders secondary.
2015 Bahamas Bowl Free Score Prediction: Western Michigan 47 – Middle Tennessee 37

I had a couple of meals here which for some reason both involved steak.
The Grasshopper
Right up against one of the canals was a pub called "The Grasshopper". There were two separate sections, being the pub and the restaurant – with the restaurant having indoor and al fresco dining. Given the view and the weather, I chose to sit in the al fresco area.
The view from The Grasshopper
The menu included items for breakfast through to dinner, but even with the variety I got the overall impression "this is pub food" and my experience there supported this. At least the view was good.
Whilst the location was quite decent for me, I felt that the wait staff were friendly (and good looking) but the service was quite slow (I had to wait quite a while before being given the menu even though there was no one sitting out in the al fresco area and I had gone back in to ask if I could order inside) and non-caring compared to what I'm used to.
Rib Eye – EU25
Ordering the steak medium rare, the steak came out a tad rarer than that but that's not usually a problem for me. However, I am sure I asked for an eye fillet but the steak didn't look like any rib eye I've had before (in a bad way). The steak was pretty average being a bit on the tough side despite being cooked quite rare, and not really standing out as being a good cut of beef in any way that I could tell.
The steak came with fries, an onion salad, and a whole basket of condiments such as salt, pepper, and tomato sauce.
Iced Tea – EU3.50
Though a refreshing drink, this was a standard off-the-shelf iced tea that tasted quite typical of a cold and sugary lemon tea drink. However, it was quite welcome after a lot of walking and exploring for the day.
On a side note, they do sell weed for those interested.
The Grasshopper
Oudebrugsteeg 16
1012JN Amsterdam, Netherlands
020 4287224
Argentinos Restaurant Gringos
I made my way down to an Argentinean steak house, with promises of that famous and great Argentinean beef. This steakhouse, though like most other restaurants I saw in Amsterdam, was only lightly lit inside giving a warm but also nearly uncomfortable dark atmosphere. Perhaps that contributes to Holland's reputation as a "green" country. The waiters appeared to all be Argentinian and all seemed to have mildly chirpy and loudly friendly personalities.
But doh I seem to have lost the photos for this place.
Argentinean Rump Steak with fries and salad – EU9.95
The restaurant obviously specialised in steak with various cuts of steaks in various sizes and with various accompaniments. Whilst there were other menu items available, I found it difficult to even look at anything but steak in this Argentinean steak house.
Reminding of my prior trip to Argentina, and specifically the Argentinean beef I had in Buenos Aires, the steak here was good. Though ordering the steak medium rare and coming out more rare, the steak was juicy and tender and was a good steak for EU9.90 (when other steaks seemed to start at nearly twice the price).
The only unfortunate part of the steak was its size, being relatively small and maybe only 100g or so. However, the steak's size was complimented with a bit of iceberg lettuce based undressed salad, and chips.
Cassis - EU4 (large)
I saw this drink on the menu and wondered what it was. I was told it was like Cherry Fanta and apparently is very popular. So I thought, why not give it a try? The drink indeed had a cherry taste – it was sweet, quite dark in colour (or maybe it was the very dark lighting in the restaurant) and had a deep taste to it giving a fruity (artificial) cherry taste (not to be mistaken for Cherry Cola a la Dr Pepper etc).
In summary, Amsterdam is an ok place to visit - especially if you're into its "freedom" and liberties that give it a reputation in Europe. However, Amsterdam is also filled with a lot of tourists and within the city it can give off that tourist city feel.
