Oven Fried Potato Wedges for the Freezer
There are so many great sales on potatoes this time of year, and so I stocked up when there was a great sale on 5 pound bags of potatoes. I set aside one bag for preparing meals for the freezer. I used half of the bag for Make Ahead Mashed Potatoes, and other half to add another side dish to our freezer.
The verdict?
I made these in a late afternoon, so they were still cooling on the counter when my husband came home. He was so disappointed we wouldn't be eating them for dinner that night, so I know these will be a hit! I struggle to find potato side dishes that aren't mashed potatoes, because those really aren't our family's favorite, so I'm pleased with the variety in my freezer!
This recipe is now included in my Creatively Domestic's Freezer Meals ebook for sale on Amazon. To view this recipe and many others, please visit (and buy if you're interested) from that site.

My letter to Jeremy Hunt on unfunded responsibilities of the new Care Act
Parliament recently passed the Care Act, which placed new duties on local authorities (in our case on Lancashire County Council), but the Government has yet to outlay what funding (if any) they are to make available to local authorities to undertake these new responsibilities.
We know that in Lancashire as in much of the country, NHS budgets are incredibly stretched, as this Government has overseen a huge tightening of money in the health service, and pressure on primary services.
This is why I wrote to Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt to raise this matter – we must ensure that the good intentions of the Care Act do not become yet more broken promises of Cameron's health service.

Make a soap recipe with this ingredient

Lye Calculator
Green Tea Seed Oil: Tea seed oil is also referred to as camellia seed oil. This oil has many natural skin benefits and is commonly used throughout China and Japan. This oil is cold pressed from the seeds of the tea (camellia) plant. Because of its non-greasy feel when applied to the skin and hair; tea seed oil is most often used in lotions, creams, soaps, and hair care products. We generally use this oil at 2-10% in formulations.
Consisting mostly of monounsaturated fatty acids (Omegas 3, 6, and 9 fatty acids), green tea seed oil is nutrient rich making it ideal for use in skin and hair care products. This oil is high in skin benefiting vitamins A and B.
This oil does not have a strong scent to it and should not be confused with Green Tea fragrance oil or Tea Tree essential oil.
Tea seed oil is lip and skin safe at any usage level.
Ingredients: Botanical Name: Camellia Oleifera (Tea Seed) Seed OilCommon Name: Green Tea Seed Oil
At last I found this oil! This oil is a Must have! I'm so glad Brambleberry carries it!
This feels alot like Jojoba oil I love the texture
I use Green Tea Seed oil in nearly everyone on of my CP products. It is worth every cent, and a little goes a long way. My customers have been hooked on any product i include this in.
This is supposed to be a dry oil, but it borderlines on not being dry. Anyhow, I have had problems soaping with the oil unless I bring the soap to a medium-thick trace. No good for emulsification for me, it has separated in 3 separate batches. Thick traced soap gives me no problems.
you want to know why this Green Tea Seed oil is so darn expensive? take a guess? global warming? - nope. war zone crop.... not even close. some other geopolitical travesty? no. this stuff is expensive because it is worth every penny. makes oilive oil look like a poor 2nd cousin.

oAs a vegan, at some point or another, you will stumble upon the perfect recipe all to find out that it requires eggs in some form or another. This wouldn't be that much of an issue to me before I became zero-waste since I could go pick up a packet of egg-replacer at the store and call it a day, but alas I needed something without packaging.
So fear not, I have here a list that explains not only how to use these lovely zero waste egg replacers, but WHEN to use them and what recipes they will do best in! I even have a solution for those of you who miss eating macaroons and meringues!
You can also follow along on my vlog at Little Green Goddess where I upload videos every Tuesday!
Vegan Egg Replacers
Baking Soda + White Vinegar
1 tsp baking soda + 1tsp white vinegar = 1 egg
Great for fluffy baked goods such as muffins and sponge cakes
Ground Chia or Flax Seeds
1 TBLS either ground flax or chia seeds + 3 TBLS water = 1 egg
*stir mixture and set aside in the fridge for 15 mins prior to use for gel to thicken
*Put seeds in a high powered blender or use a mortar and pestle to grind
Has a slightly nutty taste
Great in Breads, pancakes, and brownies
3/4 of a mashed banana = 1 egg
Adds a hint more of sweetness to a recipe
Great in cookies, muffins, and cakes
Applesauce ( or any puree such as pumpkin or sweet potato)
1/3 Cup = 1 egg
Makes recipe a tad bit more dense
Great in cookies
Agar Agar Powder
1 TBLS agar agar powder + 1TBLS water = 1 egg
Whisk water and powder together, refrigerate for 15 mins, whisk again and then use
Use when a recipe calls for no more than two egg whites
**I find this in my bulk aisle, although it may not be everywhere
Aquafaba (bean liquid)
The liquid you get when you soak and cook chickpeas
3 TBLS = 1 egg
Beat until white and fluffy
Perfect for making vegan mayo, meringues, mousses, macaroons etc.!
The next two get a courtesy listing since they are not entirely zero waste (unless you make your own tofu), but do offer quite a bit as an egg replacer
Silken Tofu
1/4 Cup pureed silken tofu = 1 egg
**Use for recipes that call for lots of eggs such as custards and quiches
**Creates a very Eggy texture
Firm Tofu
**Sautee any amount with oil and spices while gently smashing into the pan with a wooden spoon to
Create scrambled "eggs" either as a breakfast, or addition to other dishes such as stir fry
**Adding 3 TBLS nutritional yeast and 1/4 tsp Himalayan pink salt per box of tofu will create that egg taste
Happy Baking!

Hello everyone!
Last week, we celebrated Halloween at the Mayorazgo School. It was the most frightening Halloween ever! We had fun visiting the tunnel of terror, playing different games, telling stories, carving pumpkins and having a terrfying breakfast. We want to thank you, mums, for your participation in many of these activities and making our work much easier.
Now, we invite you to have a look at these pictures of our Halloween celebration.
This is the TUNNEL OF TERROR. It was dark and full of ghosts, skulls, skeletons and spiders. Students couldn´t breath!
After seeing the tunnel of terror, students played frightening games that had to do with pumpkins, spiders and vampires.
The first game was "PASS THE PUMPKIN", in which the students had to pass the pumpkin, pick up a message and do an action.
The first game was "PASS THE PUMPKIN", in which the students had to pass the pumpkin, pick up a message and do an action.
After that, students fed the VAMPIRES throwing spiders into the vampires´mouths.
Now, pupils run and run at the races but they had to prevent the spider from falling. This game is called "SPIDERS RACE".
After that, pupils touched different parts of the monster´s body in the MYSTERY BOXES: eyes, brain, snot, and teeth!
Now, it was time to calm down and listen to the STORY "Winnie the Witch". We love storytelling!
If you liked the tale, click here to watch the VIDEO:
This year was the I PUMPKIN CARVING COMPETITION. Students and their families brought carved pumpkins to win the competition. They did a great job!
These pumpkins are the WINNERS of the I Pumpkin Carving Competition! Congratulations kids ;)
Good work Valeria!
Well done Alba!
Congratulations Lucas!
Great job Tania!
And finally, we enjoyed a TERRIFYING BREAKFAST on Thursday. Students brought many different things: cupcakes, sponge cakes, cakes, fingers, snacks, etc. Yummy!

The moment I saw Nina's Stadtleben I knew what would happily occupy our family on a blustery, unpredictable family day which urged us to stay indoors. It was my dear Generous Gentleman's birthday yesterday. Fortunately we had celebrated the evening before, eating out at this highly recommended restaurant - simple but very delicious food.
Ess was delighted to be having family colouring time together again. Something we do enjoy but haven't found the opportunity to do so much of late. Now little Eee is growing she joins us for much longer for each session.
For some reason our family enjoys the creating of the city more than the playing with the city, if you know what I mean. I am not certain as to why this might be. Perhaps we are the creative innovators rather than the role playing actors in life.
The city grew and grew quite a lot yesterday and now actually has a green park under the helipad à la Nina's. Ess also has plans to build a shop which I will heartily encourage in order for us to be able to play shop and develop more maths and money skills including spending and saving as well as addition and subtraction. It is also linked directly to the literature we read recently, A Pair of Red Clogs, which includes a market and store where the new red clogs were purchased.
Can't wait to show you her store, yet she is busily sorting and creating various flavoured mice for us to nibble on as she is being a kitten and I her mother. So we do have some imaginative play going on in our house!
Mmm now I'm off to nibble on some liquorice, lime, blueberry and plain mice. Oooh there are some mandarin ones here too, yum!
This wonderful city is generously provided by made by joel

Why you play your class? Priest
My priest Lillium was the third toon I managed to get to max level. I had started her and was leveling her as a holy priest but I left her abandoned in Tanaris.
Eventually Wrath was released and I enjoyed playing my druid. Arita started off as a healer but I eventually switched her to tank/heals and than to tank/dps. But I found that there where some pugs I couldn't get into because I wasn't ranged or heals. So I decided to try leveling my priest again.
I logged onto Lillium and realized that she didn't have any talents yet. I remember how painful it was to level Artia as a healer so I made Lillium a shadow priest and fell in love with her. I love shadow form. Being a purple writing mass of shadowy magic appealed to me. I also discovered that she didn't have any problems getting groups and was still able to heal fairly well as a shadow priest.
I had put the glyph that makes the bubble heal and bubbled the tank at the start of each fight. That along with renew usually took care of any healing I needed to do. I could also still cast the spells I needed to activate replenishment. And when she reached Outlands she was able to replenish mana even easier by using dispersion.
I didn't feel brave enough to try to heal any of the Northrend dungeons as shadow but I was able to manage to scrape together enough gold to get Lillium Duel-spec. I choose holy because it made more sense to me than disc. While I could heal with Lillium I didn't enjoy it. I eventually changed her to a holy/disc priest so I could attempt to try playing both heal specs and try to find which one I enjoyed more. I still hadn't picked a favorite when the talents where reset for Cata.
Lillium is now a disc/shadow priest. I love shadow and still really enjoy it. While I can heal with her it's still not a spec I really enjoy playing. I've picked disc mostly because atonement appealed to me along with using bubbles. I haven't tried it since the Mist's talent changes but I have tried her as shadow and I'm still really like the spec. But I don't think Lillium is going to be more than a glorified auction toon. I use her to try and sort all the stuff that I find on my toons and to DE and post auctions. She does an occasional run through some dungeons but uselly spends all her time in a city running errands.

What is television?
According to Jason Mittell's book preview, Television and American Culture, television could be defined as "the most powerful and prevalent mass communication medium in America and in the world." Television has multiple roles:
- Commercial industry: profitable industry—advertisements, fees, sales
- Democratic institution: informs people through news and electoral coverage; the FCC cannot censor/pre-judge content prior to its airing, but can levy fines to broadcasters who air "indecent" material causing broadcasters to sometimes over-edit controversial or important things, decisions made to either include or exclude some things
- Textual form: creative form; broad mix of production models: live broadcast to filmed programming, in-studio to on-location production; the medium ultimately controls what viewers see
- Site of cultural representation: shapes our perceptions of various groups of people, complexity of different character representations, we begin to believe our stereotypes are true –> our idea of normalcy changes, what we see more of becomes "normal" to us. Example: representation of women as only doing "girl" jobs: nurse, teacher, homemaker
- Part of everyday life: viewing and talking about television is part of our everyday routine; television events often become the content of public debate and discussion
- Technological medium: it's a technology—digital media in the home, DVDs to video games, video camera/cell phones are now used to capture live events as they happen
All of these functions link together in different ways. Different disciplines approach television in different ways, but the truest picture arrives when we understand television across all of these divisions.
There are three specific eras of American television:
1. The Classic Network Era: mid-1940s-1980s, emergence of television and outgrowth of radio, nearly all programming was by ABC, CBS, and NBC
2. The Multi-Channel Era: 1980s, television shifted from being dominated by national broadcast networks to new technologies of cable and satellite, new technologies like remote controls and VCRs, people began having multiple televisions in their home
3. The Convergence Era: aka Post Network Era, happening right now, viewers are taking control of schedules and using new technologies (TiVo) to resist advertising as the primary source of income for the television industry, norms of the past will be challenged and redefined in unforeseen ways
"American viewers have few opportunities to see television from other countries—the United States exports a great deal of media around the world, but imports almost none onto its television schedule."
I definitely agree with this statement by Jason Mittell. While visiting Buenos Aires, Argentina in 2009 I was shocked by the abundance of "American" television shows and cultural influences. For example, my Argentine friend watches "The Simpsons" on a daily basis and has seen every episode. While in Argentina I was still able to watch MTV's "Teen Mom" television show in English too. In the U.S., I can't think of a television show that's imported from Argentina or any other country except Canada.
Episode level character: characters that appear in a specific or given episode
Program level character: characters that regularly occur in the episodes, core cast members
Reflection: exact representation
Refraction: we see the same image but it's distorted and manipulated

Of late, my blog has had visitors from profiles of other 'Anant Kamath's. Thought I would clarify things a bit, and have added a few details about myself.
Writing the 'About Me' was a semi-wakeup-call. Though there are, or used to be, some other facets to my life, including Writing, I can't reasonably call myself anything but an analog circuits designer at the moment. But I would rather like, to also be able to call myself a Writer at least, if not a painter, a singing student, a runner, a footballer, and an amateur actor :-). Well, I will use the 'About Me' on the Left Hand Side (LHS, we used to all it in school maths), as a constant reminder to that.

Your Say
Arguably, this is the best part of the site - the voice of the people. Below are reactions from readers:
Letters can be short and snappy or long and verbose; space is not a problem. Include your name, address and email address and send them to this address. Only your name will appear online along with your letter.
With reference to Music pirates face technology counter-attack (Jan 20), I'd just like to say, I feel for people in the music industry who actually make the music, but I have no such sympathy for the record labels which take most of the profits from the artists anyway.
Let's face it, after mixing down, making a master, and printing a cd, from go to woe, the artist in the end is lucky to get five or maybe 10 percent of that CD's recommended retail price. As for removing free services like Kazaa, or Winmx, perhaps they could try a smarter alternative. As one person said in the article, he would buy CDs quite happily, except that most of the disc was, in his opinion, crap!
So why not set up a service in music stores, where there was a price per track, and do a build your own CD service, add a couple of dollars for the price of the CD and upkeep of your burners and organise it legally?
David Christian
I read with interest the article about some new cars coming out with swivelling headlights and felt that this was an overdue move (New car lights to help drivers see round corners, (Jan 20). However, this comment aroused my ire: "It was last tried by Citroen, which fitted auxiliary swivelling lights to its DS model in the mid-1960s. However, controlling the swivel movement by means of a mechanical link to the steering proved unsatisfactory."
This is utter baloney. For many years I owned a Citroen DS-21 Pallas with those swivelling headlights and they were one of the most useful and amazing features of a car that was 50 years ahead of its time. They worked very effectively and very rarely required any adjustment.
The Citroen implementation was interesting, as only the high beam driving lights swivelled, which was useful when driving at high speed around curves. Those lights shone on the road on the curves, rather than into the verges like on other vehicles, where they would have been useless.
The main high/low lights on the Citroen DS-21 were on horizontal swivels coupled to the suspension, making them self-levelling under all car attitudes. I don't know if other vehicles have implemented such techniques, but these lights were extremely effective in shining on the road at the same distance from the car, no matter what the car's body attitude happened to be. Coupled with the car's inherent automatic self-levelling suspension, both horizontal and vertical swivelling lights were really great.
I have owned many cars since those days but I still consider the Citroen DS series to be the best and most advanced cars ever made. Back in the 1960s the standard equipment and features on those cars were:
- Swivelling headlights - not seen since until recent proposals for some new cars;
- Anti-dive geometry - 20 years later Mercedes put this into their cars;
- Zero-offset steering - 20 years later Mercedes put this into their cars;
- Disc brakes 12' with electronic brake pad wear sensors - why don't all cars have this now?
- Safety steering wheel - the offset single spoke deflected the driver away from the column in a collision;
- Self-levelling suspension - kept the car level, no matter how it was loaded;
- Hydropneumatic suspension - the smoothest ride and still unsurpassed to this day in my opinion;
- Hydraulic brakes with rubber foot button - best brakes I've ever used in any car to date.
I could go on with a lot more but I am really sorry that Citroen did not continue to build cars like the DS. Their fantastic Citroen/Maserati SM was a masterpiece in technology and, in my opinion, unsurpassed for its innovation.
I am not surprised that other car manufacturers are jumping on the swivelling light bandwagon nearly half a century after Citroen's innovative designs. Maybe in another 50 years some car makers will incorporate a few of the other amazing features that Citroen had in the DS series back in the 1960s.
Ziggy Malter
I had a look at the article Email deletion by companies may breach law (Jan 20). It is a blatant sales pitch as Legato sells back-up software. This is very similar to the virus scares that anti-virus software companies used to do. I'm rather surprised that AAP would think this newsworthy, but even more so to see it in The Age. Why do you print this rubbish?
Phil Crooker
Regarding your comment: "telecommunications and cable providers are scrambling for business, and there's plenty of capacity - both factors that will drive costs down for broadband hook-ups" in Tech sector to slowly recover (Jan 6), I thought you may like to know that I signed up for ADSL with Telstra 2½ months ago and I am still waiting. The exchange apparently needs to be upgraded with additional hardware as there are not enough ports for everybody who wants broadband.
Darren Baguley
With reference to Find the perfect fit (Jan 18), I am curious to know why the Mac G4 processor only made it into consideration in the home movie maker section.
I would have thought it capable of all tasks and a serious option for at least students (Apple has very competitive pricing when it comes to educational purposes) and photographers (G4s manage very respectable performance with Photoshop and are even tweaked for it).
It always appears to me that more options are always better than fewer.
Steph Popoff
Darren Yates (Find the perfect fit, Jan 18) regularly refuses to acknowledge Macintosh PCs and this article is no different. If he was serious about consumers doing movies and photos he should have included both the the iMac and the Apple desktop models in his review. I thought The Age and The SMH were well past this type of lazy article.
Robin Scaife
With reference to Find the perfect fit (Jan 18), just go to www.apple.com for top quality. These articles are almost always written by PC (Windows/Microsoft) people. If you're worried about slightly higher prices (which is because you're getting better quality), then consider leasing or flexi-renting. Let's face it, technology is superceded so quickly these days that the equipment described in Darren's article (while a good overview) will be well out of date by this time next year.
Jimmy J. Rothery
It is unfortunate, to read the article Find the perfect fit (Jan 18) and see that there is a complete bias to the IBM/PC platform. Are you aware that there are many cost-effective, powerful and complete solutions available for business, gamers, photographers, students and so on, with Apple, HP, Compaq and others?
Maybe, you should actually investigate before providing what you have listed as general buying tips for the consumer.
Your article may as well be considered an advertisement for Dell and PlusCorp. Yet another stunning example of poor journalism - learn to be objective.
I wonder what influence these articles are having on the current slowdown in the IT industry in Sydney and also in the rest of Australia. I wonder if this kind of irresponsible and poor journalism is responsible for the increasing unemployment in this sector.
When you write these articles, do you actually take into account which companies are supporting Australian workers? Maybe you should consider how much money you send overseas in future. One day, it might be your own son or daughter you put out of work, with this kind of reporting.
Upset and baffled (name and email address supplied)
A good article (Find the perfect fit, (Jan 18) in Icon. However, you missed the largest growing user group - seniors! At Hurstville we started a seniors computer group five years ago. We now have 300 members and teach Monday to Friday each week, just about all day.
We are constantly being asked "what do we buy?" If they enter any of the big stores, they are bamboozled with the high-tech stuff that they will never use in their lifetimes.
Most of these seniors are interested in the internet, keeping in touch with family and friends and, of course, learning to do their banking and other things which seem to be happening today. So a recommendation for seniors could have been included in your article, I reckon.
Maxine Gray
I just read the article Find the perfect fit (Jan 18) and am interested to know why no whitebox/clones are listed. They are certainly cheaper, and over the years I found them easier to maintain due to the standard configurations.
Damien Ryan, Dark Side Computer Services
With reference to Find the perfect fit (Jan 18), I have just one thing to say: Computer bigot.
Marc McAllister
Darren Yates replies to all the letters about Find the perfect fit:
This feature has certainly raised the ire of many Mac supporters, many making wild claims of bias, poor journalism, etc. I note too that it appears I'm to blame for the recent worldwide IT downturn and loss of future Australian jobs!
Needless to say, I reject these criticisms in the strongest terms. This story provided users with system options from larger vendors who provided the most cost-effective performance per dollar for the application stated.
Apple has some excellent technology but despite the rhetoric from some letter writers, Apple does not provide the ultimate in performance-per-dollar in every category.
Quite obviously, we could have provided 101 different examples for each application in order of preference but the choice was made to stick to recognised brands and to provide three options in that category.
With reference to other brands, I have bench-tested recent systems from HP/Compaq and found some of them to be below-standard compared to the models mentioned in the feature.
Interesting article (In the bag, Jan 18). However, I would have liked to have seen more than just four items. On the plus side there was a good range of prices. I was a little disappointed that you failed to mention the Crumpler range of laptop bags, after all they are Australian made and very comfortable to wear.

I purchased a Compaq pocket PC in 2000. Within the month the display reversed, with everything appearing as a mirror image. I contacted Compaq who said I would need to make a booking with their Gladesville service centre. I made a booking but asked whether I needed to clean out out all the names and addresses in the directory.
I was informed that when I took my device to them, they would copy the information to the new one and delete all the addresses and telephone contact numbers.
The Compact pocket PC deletes everything when one switches it off completely at the main hidden master switch but the contact names addresses and telephone numbers remain; these need to be deleted individually manually.
I took my pocket PC to the Gladesville service centre. They shortly gave me another one. I tried to switch it on but the batteries were dead. I told them that I was under the impression that they were going to copy my contact address book over to the new device. The reply was that if I wanted to wait several hours until the unit charged up, it would be done. They said: "Well, you have it backed up, haven't you?"
I left the Gladesville Compaq service centre and got back to work. I left my recharger at home that day and therefore wasn't able to recharge the replaced unit until I got home that afternoon.
After recharging the unit I switched it on and discovered it had names, telephones and addresses of people, many of whom were managers and staff working for Compaq and Microsoft. When I took out the unit from its protective hard sleeve, I discovered why: on the back of the unit was a corporate barcode equipment inventory number and above the barcode was the name Microsoft.
I realised that in order to achieve a fast turnaround, Compaq had exchanged the unit handed in for a repaired one which, from what I gathered, is repaired somewhere in Asia.
When I realised that my address book could end up in someone else's hands I tried to contact one of the Compaq managers whose name was in the address book of the replacement unit I had got. I happened to contact one of the female managers as I thought they would be particularly unimpressed with Compaq's processes. I got through to the home number but found that it was the babysitter as the manager was out that night. I left my details but my call was never returned.
Next morning I called the Gladesville Compaq service centre and asked them if they had my original pocket PC. They said it had not yet been sent for repair. I asked them to hold on and paid them a visit.
I told them of my experience, returned the pocket PC they had given me as a stand-by and asked to have mine back so that I could delete my address book. When they gave it to me, I discovered that my address book was still intact.
By putting pressure on various locations of the pocket PC case and maintaining the pressure I discovered I was able to intermittently get the TFT screen to flicker the right way up and deleted all of my contact addresses and telephone numbers. I then gave the pocket PC back to the service personnel. They gave me another exchange unit which had a charged battery.
I discovered later that despite being fully recharged, the battery would not retain a charge. It would be dead by the end of the day even though I only used the unit for a couple of minutes a few times a day. I arranged with the service centre to replace this unit. The unit I received in exchange was worse.
I called Compaq and after several days of being given the runaround they finally agreed to send me out a brand new unit.
If this unit should ever require a battery replacement, then I plan to replace it myself. If I simply return it to the Compaq service centre and get a unit in exchange, then how do I know I'm not paying for batteries which only have three months of service life?
Fortunately, I'm also a technical person as well as a marketing person and I'm able to do this competently. However, what happens to the poor bloke who is not technically trained or technically competent?

I liked the piece Would you like source with that?, (Jan 18). Interesting point you make about any benefits potentially going away with the next service pack.
There's another aspect of this, that isn't immediately apparent: Any coder who looks at Microsoft source code under a NDA (non-disclosure agreement) is compromising his freedom of movement, thereafter: Even if it can be plausibly claimed that you had access to proprietary information, your attempts to participate in open-source projects may have to be regretfully declined. For example, the Samba Project has had to be very firm on this point, to avoid legal entanglements and "tainting" of their own codebase with proprietary claims. (The concerns aren't limited to copyright law. There are also patent-law and trade secret dangers.)
For that matter, such a coder may find his right to work in other proprietary software firms or other commercial efforts restricted, too. Even in places like California that have outlawed enforcement of covenants not to compete against former employees, recent court decisions have sometimes held that their knowledge of the field, e.g., of what areas of research are not likely to pan out, is inescapably tainted by their knowledge of the old employer's trade secrets. It's not difficult to imagine the same logic being applied to non-employees' NDAs.
Many casual commentators assume that the open-source community would love to have access to Microsoft Corporation's proprietary source code. Ironically, nothing could be further from the truth: open-source coders actually fear even the appearance that they might, at any time, have had such access. Indeed, any opening up of such access (but still under proprietary terms) would be a serious hazard.

Kudos on the article Software company tries to survive terrorism investigation (Jan 14). Your coverage is the best I've seen... worldwide. Superb research. Did the FBI know half of what you reported? I doubt it.
A reader in Manhattan, New York (name and email address supplied)
With reference to Microsoft opens Windows to counter the Linux threat, (Jan 16), I wonder how long it will take for someone who works in one of aforementioned goverment agencies to leak the 97 percent of source code to the open source community? One, maybe two hours after it's released? Who knows, we may get a reliable version of Windows after all!
Also, I wonder if the remaining three percent of 'super-secret' source code contains that back-door...
Cristian Lita
I always admire someone who's willing to look back at what they said and give it a thorough going over (Crystal ball gazing fraught with danger, (Dec 17). Kudos! I do however disagree with one of your predictions; unfortunately you think you're right, but I think you're wrong.
Regarding Linux growing strongly, "at the expense of all other operating systems except Windows" you said you were "right here, though it wasn't a hard one to pick."
Linux has actually taken quite a reasonable amount of business away from Microsoft, but a quick glance at the statistics don't show it, so it's often missed.
Microsoft missed a lot of opportunities last year to gather in new users at the expense of Linux. Many businesses are starting to realise that they no longer need their 'big iron' and are looking to replace it with cheap x86 servers. Many of these companies would have used Windows if it wasn't for Linux. We heard a lot about Unix implementation being replaced with Linux, and each time this happens that's lost business for Microsoft.
Sales statistics also, often used for this sort of analysis, mask the reality. There's a lot of companies which use Linux in-house, but the server they bought came with Windows (which was subsequently scrapped and replaced with a downloaded copy of Linux). Even looking at what companies claim to be running, there's plenty of Linux running on servers that just have to work and Microsoft's software - although mandated - doesn't live up to the sales brochure. In these cases Microsoft may still have made money on the software, but it may not be much longer before management realise the truth and stop sending the check for products they aren't using.
Adoption of Linux is (admittedly) very hard to judge, but I don't think too many would be surprised to see that it's used more than most statistics suggest. You say that "Linux is entering the mainstream but at a much lower speed than its adherents hope" but circumstantial evidence would suggest otherwise.
Finally, you suggest that "[Linux] will end up being the only challenger to Microsoft's dominance, though always a poor second." Is this a prediction for this year? You might be right this time, but I wouldn't keep saying it over and over. You might just have to eat those words. We're already starting to see plenty of signs of Microsoft having to play catch up to Linux. In the whole time Linux has been, it's Microsoft that's had to change it's 'business' model to compete with Linux. Open source has proved that it's here for the long run. Can Microsoft?

With reference to A developer's nightmare (Jan 16), I am the co-author of theKompany's Rekall and I would like to point out that theKompany is not a KDE only software vendor. I would say theKompany is now a Qt software vendor, since the majority of theKompany's applications have been ported to Windows and Mac OSX.

Dave Whitaker, "Microsoft doesn't expect you to understand kernel level programming to use Windows - why then should Joe/Jane Average have to understand or even come to grips with HTML to make a Web site?" Shouldn't the question be "why should Joe/Jane Average have to understand or come to grips with HTML when using a Web site?" After all, I'm sure you would have to understand kernel level programming to develop a program such as Windows just as you need to understand HTML (which isn't the hardest language to master BTW) to develop a Web site. Looking at it requires not real technical knowledge past pointing and clicking.
Peter Likidis
Does this (Microsoft opens Windows to counter the Linux threat, Jan 16) mean that we can be 97 percent sure that there will be no spying/espionage? Microsoft would not keep the backdoor in the hidden three percent. This is just a rehash of the old "trust me, I am from Microsoft" story.
Don Nairn
Now you've done it (The Web site that Nick built, Jan 10) you'd probably agree that the average person in the street would give up long before they got a result. If websites are ever going to become completely mainstream - i.e. every business has one (like a telephone/fax/mobile etc) - then they have to become a commodity with low entry price point and dumbed down. Microsoft doesn't expect you to understand kernel level programming to use Windows - why then should Joe/Jane Average have to understand or even come to grips with HTML to make a website?
Of course, now you've entered the dark side of the screen, you have many more challenges in front of you - SQL programming, generating images on the fly, multiple design swappers and the biggest challenge of all - build one for someone else...ouch! Welcome to the fraternity.

DENVER — Michelle Obama likes to describe herself in simple terms -- a mother, a lawyer and a wife who grew up in a blue-collar family in a working-class Chicago neighborhood.
Republicans have been busy trying to portray her in a less flattering light.
They say she is a loose -- and less than patriotic -- cannon. As evidence, they cite the comment she made this year about how she was really proud of her country for the first time as an adult. Obama says she meant she was proud of how engaged Americans were in this election.
The goal for Michelle Obama during this week's Democratic convention is not all that different from her husband's: She has to define herself rather than let the caricature sketched by her critics settle in the mind of voters.
Her biggest opportunity will come today as she headlines the convention's opening night with a prime-time televised speech that will reach millions of viewers.

Tim Burton emphasizes the sweet over the bitter in his bittersweet new stop-motion animation, Tim Burton's Corpse Bride. This melancholy but touching folk tale is missing the whimsy of Burton's similarly morbid stop-motion The Nightmare Before Christmas. But the exquisitely realized world and underworld of this marriage-made-in-heck parable, and the pathos of the title character, let it substitute charm for fun, and not be much poorer for the bargain.
It is most certainly not a film for the youngest children. The dark subject matter, screeching nature of the characters and weak jokes on the pitfalls of love and marriage give Corpse Bride a tone that begs for parents to wait and take the tykes to the much warmer and funnier Wallace & Gromit movie a few weeks hence. But for fans of that rarest of animation forms, stop-motion (posed clay puppets, with a little computer-generated help), it's a marvel to behold.

Boost for Chancellor ahead of Autumn Statement as trade deficit narrows
Britain's trade deficit narrowed to an estimated £1.4 billion in September while manufacturing achieved its largest monthly increase since April 2014, official figures show.
The data will provide a timely boost to Chancellor George Osborne, who is set to deliver his Autumn Statement speech later this month, although the longer-term data paints a less positive picture.
According to initial estimates from the Office for National Statistics (ONS), Britain's deficit on trade in goods and services was £1.6 billion lower than in August 2015.
Britain's trade deficit has narrowed
But while the figures improved in the short term, Britain's third quarter trade deficit of £8.5 billion was still £5.1 billion wider than in the second quarter, the report noted.
Looking at manufacturing, the estimated monthly rise of 0.8% was the largest seen for 19 months, according to the ONS.
The strong uplift comes after numerous turbulent months for the sector, meaning manufacturing is still 0.4% lower in the third quarter when compared to the previous three months.
Lee Hopley, chief economist at manufacturers' organisation EEF, said the figures still provided reason for optimism.
"While manufacturing contracted in the last quarter there are signs that some parts of industry were at least mounting a comeback after a summer lull," she said.
"Together with the sharp rebound in October's PMI, we may yet see some more positive data readings in the remainder of 2015 but the risks from weaker activity in emerging markets are likely to present some headwinds for manufacturers into next year."
Overall, total production output in Britain increased by 0.2% between the second and third quarters, which is slightly lower than the 0.3% growth predicted in last month's GDP figures.
Commenting on the trade deficit figures, British Chambers of Commerce chief economist David Kern warned that September's marked improvement should not distract from the wider problems facing the economy.
"While it is good news that the trade deficit improved in September, we know that monthly figures can be erratic, and the more representative quarterly figures show a significant worsening between the second and third quarters," he said.
"This is disappointing because it confirms our assessment that the improvement recorded in Q2 was only temporary.
"In addition to the unsustainably large trade deficit, the total current account deficit is even larger as a result of a large deficit in net income from foreign investment.
"Against this background we clearly need a national strategy that will help our exporters to achieve their export ambitions."

|At last! A group of writers who are willing to take on the notion of identity and reveal how so many authors have not interrogated its basis in theory. Caldas-Coulthard & Iedema have gathered together some key perspectives on Identity that help to expose its fragile foundations. Highlights for me were Lemke and Skeggs who take nothing for granted. My only real complaint is that I think there were still a few 'filler' chapters by writers who are happy not to be troubled by, or to trouble, identity.

Waters remain choppy for Carnival (NYSE:CCL).
At a time when many consumer stocks are trading near their all-time highs, Carnival stock is trading closer to its 52-week low.
The world's leading cruise line operator has had some unfortunate mishaps on sailings at its Costa and namesake lines, and the market's penalizing Carnival for the setbacks. Analysts have been scaling back their projections, fearing that potential passengers will steer clear of the Carnival brand for their next cruise booking.
This is a dinner bell for Carnival's smaller rivals. Royal Caribbean (NYSE:RCL) is introducing its latest vessel -- Quantum of the Seas -- this week. Online chatter claims that Disney (NYSE:DIS) is about to expand its growing fleet by 50% when it announces two new ships later this month. (A Disney spokeswoman claims that new ships won't be announced at next week's media event, but there's clearly excitement about the cruise industry outside of Carnival.)
Cruising isn't diminishing in popularity. In this video, Rick argues that Carnival stock itself may be the one that's diminishing.

Connecticut authorities have denied parole to Michael Skakel, nephew of Ethel Kennedy, who was convicted in 2002 of murdering Bay Area native Martha Moxley. In 1975, Moxley was found bludgeoned to death in Greenwich, Ct., with a golf club that was traced to the Skakel family. Skakel has been portrayed as a sadistic, sexually disturbed child of privilege who saw himself as being above the law. Not so, says Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Skakel's cousin, who feels Michael was wrongly convicted and that evidence points to the family's tutor, Kenneth Littleton.
Time published a quote from Littleton in 2002, after he allegedly confessed to his wife about the murder during a bender. "Um, I was, had, been drinking heavily, was psychotic ... It's kind of frightening. This is when I said 'I did it.'"
Representatives from the Special Olympics say they have twice asked Ann Coulter to refrain from using the word "retard." She seems to have taken it to heart, because her next Tweet included the phrase "retarded" instead:
"Obama: 'Stage 3 Romneysia' – because cancer references are HILARIOUS. If he's 'the smartest guy in the room' it must be one retarded room."
The American Cancer Society is no doubt tripping over itself to get T-shirts made with the blond humanitarian's quote.
Where there's smoke, there's fire, and where there's significant white powder residue, there must be a Hostess factory or a gigantic pile of cocaine nearby. When co-workers refer to you as "Cokey the Clown" and "Power Donut Man," they probably suspect your drug use.
According to a story on THR, Alex Frisch, a special effects supervisor known for his work on "The Pirates of the Caribbean" films, loves the stuff, though he adamantly denies accusations he snorts booger-sugar.
Nonetheless, a jury awarded $450,000 to Andrew MacDonald, his former employee at Ascent Media Group, for "wrongful termination" he said stemmed from blowing the whistle on Frisch's alleged "open and notorious drug use at the office during work hours."

Brakes are a very important facet of a car. Thus they demand more attention than any component of the car because they stand between the drivers' or the passengers' life and death.
Brakes not only demand regular maintenance but much caution, especially if they experience anything alien.
One such alien component is a squeaking sound, which is an indication of the need to replace brake pads.
Squeaking brakes are a nagging experience for any driver and for this case they made me almost go separate ways with my mechanic.
After the mechanic had assured me that I needed to replace my pads, I painfully paid to save myself.
However, after he had replaced the pads, as he claimed, I was treated to the same sound, which sort of drove me nuts.
Indeed, he had replaced the pads but he had not applied the anti-squeak lube that is usually put at the back end of the pads.
As I was advised, I applied the lube and the brakes stopped squeaking for like a month before resuming.
Confused, I sought more advice from a specialised mechanic who told me that squeaking brakes might be an indication that I needed to inspect or replace my entire brake system.
Brakes are sensitive to a number of things such as moisture, which makes them rust.
The rust forms a grinding noise that results from a heated glaze pad thus giving off a squeak noise, which if ignored might turn out costly.
Therefore, maintaining your brake system not only keep you safe but also saves you from incurring costly repairs.
It is advisable that you check your brakes every six months to avoid unpleasant surprises. This will help you to familiarise yourself with your car as well as knowing how soon you might need to replace some parts.
If you suspect that your brakes have a problem, it is recommend that you seek a professional mechanic to conduct a thorough inspection.

"Shake it up high. Shake it down low," said picture book illustrator, Scott Nash as the families in the audience shook out their hands, "How does that feel? Loose? Tingly?" Nash was showing those that gathered at the Raising Readers Presents event at the Children's Museum of Maine how he loosens up his hands to get ready to draw. And draw he did.
First Nash drew Damselfly Dilly from his picture book The Bugliest Bug, a book that has appeared in two different Raising Readers anthologies for Maine's five-year-olds. Then Nash drew a grinning T-Rex from another anthology story, Saturday Night at the Dinosaur Stomp. Nash's attentive audience reminded Nash to draw in the dinosaur teeth and one child announced that the teeth looked just like 'w's. Many at the event knew these picture books illustrated by Scott Nash and also his intrepid crocodile characters from Snow Day and Rainy Day (which have also appeared in past five-year-old anthologies).
Beside Scott Nash on the Raising Readers stage was pediatrician Dr. Brian Youth from Maine Medical Partners in Westbrook, who like the kids, is a fan of Scott Nash's books. Not only has Dr. Youth handed out Raising Readers books to his young patients for over a decade, but he has also served on the Raising Readers book selection committee for more than 8 of those years. Currently, Dr. Youth also serves as a clinical advisor to the program.
Dr. Youth welcomed families to the event and talked about what a pleasure it was to hand a child a book in his office and to talk with parents about the importance of reading aloud.
"Reading to our children," Dr. Youth said, "builds healthy brains by introducing new words, images, and experiences. Children who are read to often pick up reading more quickly when they enter school and do better in school overall."
A two-year-old from the audience declared again and again to Dr. Youth that, "I like books!" Other children demonstrated their love of books by excitedly turning the pages of Raising Readers books as they waited for the program to start. Dr. Youth also shared his personal favorite picture books, The Little Engine That Could and Seven Silly Eaters.
When Dr. Youth introduced Scott Nash, one girl could not clap with the others (as she had recently fallen out of a tree she had climbed). Nash declared it the best possible way to break an arm (if one had to break an arm) and encouraged her to climb her next tree as soon as her arm healed. The girl did shake her other hand to get her hand ready for drawing, though, and after just one wing was drawn on the paper, she shouted out, "Damselfly Dilly!" Nash asked her how she possibly guessed that Dilly was the subject of the drawing. Her father responded that The Bugliest Bug was her favorite book at bedtime.
Here's to books at bedtime for us all (and a little drawing and tree climbing when we can fit it in)!
Don't miss the final event in our Raising Readers Presents series!
August 17th, 6:00 & 7:00 pm

|Funny how pictures turn out blurrier than expected.....
This marks seven hours since my roommate/best friend/big-sister-I-always-wanted left for home. It's just me in our tiny bedroom now. She left her peanut butter, half a Poptart, and some Great Value canned chicken on the shelf.
Today marks the start of a month alone. Not alone alone. Two housemates live here, plus Ra, the polydactyl cat. Just alone in the sense that all the people who know me best live millions of miles away. And I'm tired of dating and hanging out with my phone.
My extroversion emerges only when my people leave, strangely. When the house is quiet, when I haven't bumped into anyone but the cat all day, when her side of the room is empty, my extroversion creeps out. Blubbering, of course. That's when I realize how much I love people, how much I love loving people, how much I love being loved by people. All my writing project plans and workout plans and room cleaning plans pale in comparison to being home and doing nothing with my people.
I didn't eat lunch. I spent most of my time after church curled up on my bed, staring into five weeks of devastating loneliness.
It's funny how different being a twosome is from being a lonesome. For one thing, there aren't as many people around to eat out the borderline expired stuff in the fridge and freezer. I've been eating leftover pizza for days. That's why I didn't eat lunch. I just didn't feel up for days-old pizza.
I'm silent without my roommate. When she's around, I talk to myself, laugh at myself, and bounce down the stairs to tell her about myself. When she's gone, myself and I stare at each other, awkwardly waiting for our mutual friend to come back and resume the conversation.
I do strange things when my roommate's not here, like put away dishes and scrub counters and set a reminder to wipe down the disgusting kitchen trash can. That's all I feel up to doing without people -- manual tasks. My creativity blanks. It's the extrovert in me. Or maybe the romantic. Maybe I'm one of those poetic artistic types who relies heavily on a friend or significant other to be her muse.
My mother spent the majority of her twenty-something years living alone. She told me this blip of not-even-technically-solitude will help me relate to those who live alone. My heart went all soft and sad at this reminder -- I'm living alone by choice. Many people live alone because they don't have a choice. They might not even have a happy family in Wisconsin or a boyfriend or a best friend just a phone call away. And they have to live with the empty rooms and the cats (though hopefully not the pop music blasting from a couple backyards down the street). That's their life. Not a stepping stone to the next stage of their life but just...life.
Somehow they survive -- and with joy, too, of all things. Solitude is sanctifying? Solitude is the space where Christ comes in? I don't know.
But it's just five weeks, with visits from out-of-town friends and the boyfriend on a few weekends. I'm going to scrape out as much creativity, sanctification, and empathy I can from these five weeks of solitude. At least, I'll try.

You know...come to think of it...I have *never* lived alone! I did have my own dorm room when I was a junior, but it was still in the dorm. I shared the same floor bathroom with 35 other girls. And my room was right next to the main entrance. So, I'd just prop my door open when I was feeling lonely, and anybody and everybody would pop in on their way out or their way in to say hi.ReplyDelete
Dave has been at camp this past week while I've been in town. I find that I'm talking to myself more rather than less. (I'm not crazy. It's just thinking out loud, you know.) I, too, am getting a lot of cleaning and decluttering done. I've also been reading more. (Jane Austen, anyone?) Naturally, I'm re-watching BBC Austen movies as a result.Replies
Nooo. Are you one of the Austen BBC purists? ;)Delete
Your junior dorm experience sounds like my freshman dorm experience! I loved all the friendly girls. We had an open doors policy too, so everyone kind of expected people to barge in and chat.
It's interesting, because I feel like I'm the opposite of you when it comes to how my extroversion responds to being alone. I'm a social extrovert, at least, and maybe emotional too. But, when college gets out for the summer and I don't go and see friends every day, I don't plan social events. I tend to just sit around and do. absolutely. nothing. Like maybe read, and definitely play piano. And sleep, and eat. Granted, all this is when I'm home with my family, which definitely wouldn't count as anywhere near alone for an introvert, but it's too close to alone for me. Instead of my extroverted-ness freaking out and planning hang-out times and stuff, it's more like it's slowly strangled to death, and I sink into, more or less, depression. And then I don't want to take the effort it takes to plan something fun to do. Granted, I never want to plan anything, except for the brainstorming part.ReplyDelete
So, I have absolutely no real-life experience to go on, but if I were to live alone I think I would try to live where social activities could be found with little or no effort. For example, I want to transfer to Columbia College Chicago, and I'm sure I could always find something to do in the city. Secondly, I would plan weekly or so activities that I would go to rain or shine unless I had a super compelling reason not to. I think that would break me out of it. I get energized just being around people; I don't actually have to interact with them. But, the more I don't, the more I want to. So, in practice, I could probably convince myself to go to Panera Bread or something (will leave house for food!) and then sit there for half an hour and then get energized enough to figure out what to do next. Whether or not I was working at home would also make a difference. I might go insane if I did.Replies
Yeah, that's definitely different from me! I love making plans....but only in theory and only involving my closest friends. Incidentally, you sound like my younger self. Weird how I've grown out of extroversion.Delete
In any case, I hope you never have to live alone ---- or if you do, that you live across the street from a Panera.
Hit me with your best thought! I'm very interested in your unique perspective. If you'd like to discuss things in private, feel free to email me! :)

What's next, synchronized snoring?
As we sat in chairs for the first time with the blue tint of the TV flickering softly throughout the semi-darkened room, we were both struck by the same thought:"My god, what have we done?"
Such hesitation is normal, according to older, wiser friends. After all, it is a long-term commitment. So, with little fanfare, we cut away the tags that read, "Do not remove under penalty of law." There was no turning back.
I suppose the first hint that something was brewing came when we put her pill box to the right of the sink, mine to the left. Question: does that count as foreplay?
Maybe now is when I should confess I was apprehensive earlier in the year when I found my worst nightmare had come true. It was at an outdoor arts and crafts fair and the wind was still a bit chilly. Airish.
The Mystery Woman and her mom were shopping inside the antique store and there I was -- sitting on a bench outside the entrance wearing tube socks and a gimme cap, holding a shivering Dachshund inside my Eisenhower jacket to keep it warm. The dog was getting lots of action. Perfect strangers thought we were cute and kept putting their hands inside my jacket to pet the dog. Ambiance R Us.
Matching recliners. I knew it would lead to this. I just knew it.
But still, the chairs are kinda nice.
DISCLAIMER: the Mystery Woman wants it known that the chairs are small and stylish and not the big puffy ones that are difficult to get out of.
They did, however, replace gliders.

If you had put the pill bottles on the same side of the sink,I'm afraid that you both would be sunk.However you blew the whole relationship when you cut off those "do not remove---" tags.Should have stopped with the pill bottles and tv---Goose

My bride and I bought a couple of nice recliners a year ago, and put them in front of our new large screen hdtv that was bought at the same time. There is hardly anything in the world better than watching college football on the new TV while relaxing in that recliner....unless it is taking an afternoon nap in the same.
- August 17, 2007 at 9:38 PM
I am very proud of you and the "mystery woman" to agree on such a very nice benefit to getting to the senior side of life. Great move on the purchase of the recliners. I recommend that you take them south for the winter.
Your old pal.

One of those daysNov 29
…when my back….is…..killing me! I'm trying to figure out how to describe what I'm feeling. The best I can come up with is: Remember the scene in Office Space where they go ballistic on the printer? Now imagine that printer is my spine. Yeah, that's about how it feels right now.
I was wondering how long I'd be able to go with this blog before the title actually became relevant, and here we are, roughly one month in and I finally have to talk about it.
I have what has been diagnosed as Degenerative Disc Disease. According to the spine specialist that I've seen., MRI's have revealed that the bottom 2-3 discs in my back are dried up and dead. She (who I'll keep anonymous) said 2 years ago that there was no chance that these discs will ever be the same and that what has happened to them is completely irreversible. She discussed multiple options, ranging form cortisone shots to spinal fusion, with the preferable method of treatment being "pain management" in which I incorporate things into my daily life like stretching, yoga, and weight loss to try and keep the pain from getting any worse. "Management". It sounds a lot like "Sorry son, but there's nothing you can do."
In this day and age I have a hard time accepting that this is something that I'll just have to live with. I've since gone on a exploration of countless methods of dealing with back pain, with some success and some failure. I've had other doctors tell me that these discs CAN be repaired and reinvigorated, so for the sake of hope I have to discard what the specialist tells me, regardless of how stupid that may be. And I'll say with complete honesty that there have been certain treatments (albeit expensive ones that I couldn't possibly afford to do on a regular basis) such as Spinal Decompression that have done wonders in the short term, but without the ability to afford regular "maintenance" with these treatments I have no way of knowing if they are a just a band-aid or an actual real solution to the problem.
And then there are the episodes, like the one I am going thru right now…….I can go months with everything being "normal" with my back (and by normal I mean a manageable amount of pain that I can more or less ignore throughout the day), but when things go bad they go REALLY bad. I can point a finger at what caused this latest episode, and its something that I love to do, but for the sake of my back I think I'm going to have to give up: Golf. Every single time I've gone golfing in the last 3 years, the following 2 weeks has been a complete nightmare. This nightmare involves me not being able to move without pain shooting down my spine and legs, my muscles seizing up, me wincing, and me even temporarily losing the ability to breath. Its so bad that I don't even attempt to get up out of a chair once I've sat down because its not worth the effort.
After a few days of heavy icing (8-10 times/day), enough advil to put a horse into a coma, a few visits to the chiropractor, a couple of massages, and an ongoing mood as sour as a cranky old fucker, I will be back to "normal". In the meantime, its times like these where I go through some serious self-doubt about the things I've been striving for on the athletic front. Its my biggest fear that I'll train for months and months for this upcoming Full IM Triathlon, only to have my back knock me out a week before…..and its a completely realistic fear that I'll just have to cope with if and when it happens. All I can do in the meantime is try to manage. I can lose weight, for starters. I can up the yoga/stretching regiment that I need to make sure I do every single day. And I can hope that if I keep a positive attitude to go along with these small steps that things will get better.
Its an ongoing battle that I'm sure I'll be talking about quite a bit in future blog posts. Its something I deal with everyday, but for the most part keep quiet about. I've lived with pain in my lower back for so many years now that I'm just used to it. But its times like these that I can't ignore it because my every-day routine is so affected. Anyways…..off to ice, AGAIN.

The least expensive crate engines sold by Chevrolet as of 2016 are the 350/290 Deluxe, the LC9 and the C3T350. All of these are small-block, naturally aspirated V-8 engines sold without transmissions that produce between 300 and 350 horsepower and 300 to 400 foot-pounds of torque.
The 350/290 Deluxe is the most economical crate engine sold by Chevrolet as of 2016. Its peak output of 300 horsepower comes from 4-inch cylinders and a 3.48-inch stroke length, resulting in a 350-cubic-inch total displacement. The 350/290 Deluxe uses cast aluminum pistons, has an 8:1 compression ratio and has a recommended redline of 5300 rpm.
The LC9 crate engine is an LS-series Generation IV motor that displaces 327 cubic inches. Despite its smaller displacement as compared to the 350/290 deluxe, it has a higher power output than the larger engine at 320 peak horsepower. However, the peak torque of the LC9 and 350/290 Deluxe is comparable at 310 foot-pounds. The LC9 has a symmetrical bore and stroke length of 3.6 inches, a compression ratio of 9.5:1, and a recommended redline of 6000 rpm.
The CT350 crate engine is a 350-cubic-inch engine designed especially for circle-track racing. It has an identical bore and stroke length to the 350/290 Deluxe but a higher compression ratio of 9.2:1, resulting in a peak of 350 horsepower and 390 foot-pounds of peak torque. The CT350 uses hypereutectic aluminum pistons and a recommended redline of 5500 rpm.

"…because when they leave you'll have nothing."
I don't believe that. I've chosen to give all my heart and trust completely, and let someone becomes the sun that my life revolves around. And what if it turned out that he was unfaithful? What if he fell out of love? What if he decided to leave? What if? What if? Oh so many of them, why should I waste my time thinking of all the bad possibilities? But if it happened, then I'll be broken-hearted just like everybody else.
I've been there. I know how it was like to feel as if I had nothing. On the other hand, I also know how it felt to be the cause of the pain. Human heart can't be trusted, even our own heart can be deceitful to us. Whether I give him all my heart or not, I will still be broken-hearted if he left. It doesn't matter. Holding back my trust and love won't make the pain any less if anything happened.
So I let myself fall completely in love. Because being in love makes my life beautiful. Nobody knows anything about tomorrow, but today I know that I will love you until the day I die. So cheesy but oh so true.
Here's another cheesy thing that I wrote some time ago, and I still believe in it. "It should be this simple. No fancy words and pretty metaphors. I look at you and you look at me and we don't have to talk if we don't want to. You don't want me to change and I don't want you to change either because we'll change together anyway. We won't have to care about those games that people play though so many books have been written about them. I just want to curl up in your arms and feel comfortable because I know you will be feeling the same. And when sometimes I think that nothing could be this simple, I will remember that it should be just this simple. And so on and it goes on forever."
Today is three years since our wedding day, and I'm still head over heels in love for you. Three wonderful years since we started our journey together as a a family. This is my everything, and I want nothing else.

Your iOS device can introduce brand new ways to play whether it's with tilt controls, touch controls, augmented reality, and more. Rescue Rush introduces a brand new game mechanic by integrating location, since your iOS device has that functionality built-in as well. In the game, you play as a monster sized cat trying to free fellow animals while avoiding the machines of evil scientists. The location based gaming turns your real world neighborhood into the play area making it unlike anything else in the App Store.
The game features over a million playable squares across the globe, and you can unlock new play squares just by traveling to that area. There are so many play tiles that each one constitutes just a couple of blocks so you can explore a number of game tiles on a short trip. It's so neat to see the streets you're familiar with transformed into the cartoon style, and filled with the game elements. The streets are mapped out accurately, so your giant cat can run down the main boulevard of your town, and then turn right on to your home street.
In each level, there a certain number of caged animals to free, and you can also collect coins. There are leaderboards for each specific local tile allowing you to compete locally, and there are also special collectibles at landmarks. The arcade gameplay is relatively simplistic, but it's enhanced with the real world design, and plenty of objectives. The game does have a freemium set-up so you can buy or earn crystals which can be used to unlock new city tiles that you don't want to travel to.
Rescue Rush (Free, Universal) is a brand new way to play that is a great idea that offers some fun, and a reason to check it out when you visit new places.

The 2011 Praemium Imperiale Laureates were announced today at a ceremony in the ballroom of the grand Claridge's Hotel in London, hosted by the Japan Art Association. Created in 1988 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Japan Art Association and in memory of the organisation's patron Prince Takamatsu, the annual Praemium Imperiale honours talented artists whose work exists in fields not recognised by the prestigious Nobel Prizes.
This year's winners are:
Architecture – Ricardo Legorreta, Mexico
Sculpture – Anish Kapoor, UK
Painting – Bill Viola, UK
Music – Seiji Ozama, Japan
Theatre/Film – Dame Judi Dench
Legorreta is the first Mexican architect to receive the prize and will join celebrated industry figures Renzo Piano, Toyo Ito and Frank Gehry in the ranks of Praemium Imperiale Architecture Laureates. This is not the first 'first' for the architect, who was also the first Latin American to be awarded the American Institute of Architects' Gold Medal in 2000. Unafraid to use colour in his compositions, Legorreta has completed more than 100 works in Mexico during his 50 year career.
One can also find Legorreta's works elsewhere in the world, such as the vivid Pershing Square in Los Angeles, Metropolitan Cathedral of Managua and Davidka Square in Jerusalem. Speaking on the announcement today, American Advisor to the jury panel William H. Luers commented: "Over the past 23 years the Praemium Imperiale awards have grown to become a powerful symbol of the importance of the arts in the global community. We are honoured to recognise this year's distinguished group of Laureates for their outstanding achievements and life-long pursuit of excellence."
