Of all the things ever acquired to ingest in the Shell station lot at Pike and Broadway, Friday's menu is most likely the healthiest of them all. Capitol Hill gluten free types might want to bring a non-believer and grab lunch as new Seattle mobile food provider I Love My GFF makes its first of probable regular visits to the neighborhood Friday.
"They're going to find a quick and healthy lunch that will really surprise them," Andrea Ramos Moore promises of her new venture's Capitol Hill debut.
The menu is simple — you'll have two quinoa bowls to choose from: the spicy Fiesta Bowl or the colorful Sunshine Bowl. Both are available with or without chicken. For dessert, gluten free sweet tooths will be happy to hear about the Coco-nuts! chocolate chip cookies.
CHS reported earlier this summer on the planned gluten free menu set to accompany the debut of Capitol Cideron E Pike.
Ramos Moore's food cart is slated to be in the lot from 11a-2p Friday. She said finding a spot for ILMGFF on the Hill was surprisingly easy and reported her intent to be at the location regularly for the foreseeable future. Ramos Moore, however, said she likes to "move around" and keep things fresh by being in new locations.
It's part of the mission behind her new food cart as she left a corporate job to venture out on her own and take the first steps into a new career in food and drink. "I really want people that have this gluten issue to feel like they have a place to go for lunch," she said.

Mittens and places #3
Moelv is a small town close to Lillehammer. The local newspaper recently announced that they now have an official Moelv mitten!
Hamar, our neighbouring larger town south of Lillehammer also has an official mitten, Hamarvotten. (Lillehammer originally means "small Hamar")
We don't have an official mitten pattern - but here's the unofficial Lillehammer mitten pattern, now also in English!
The pattern has been test knitted by Alice and Dominique. Thanks a lot, both of you!

realistically they are either considerably more selective about their sexual partners to the point of either demisexuality (sexual attraction only when there has been a long term emotional bond established) OR hypergamy (sexual attraction only to the most high status minority of the male population).
in the case of demisexual, the enjoyment is not so much the pleasures and sensitivity / sensuous nature as much as it is the forging of an emotional bond. in my experience there has to be this really hyper - almost euphoric - energy before a basis for sexual attraction can even BEGIN to develop here. it's like some sort of volume knob where you have to navigate a maze at every little turn.
for the hypergamous women, it's not even sex she enjoys. at best it's the company of and validation from a high status, physically attractive and confident male. at worst, it's his money she's after and she could care less if it was hugh heffner she was banging.
asexual women don't even care about sex fullstop. it is all about rapport and long-term relationships.
the demisexual is the only kind of woman I can conceive of that even begins to have some kind of sexual energy or vibe and the process towards that attraction is long and tedious. it is totally different to and nothing like the libido a typical man has.
surely, if women enjoyed sex as much as, and as frequently as, most men do, they would not create so many barriers and say things like,
"there is only one thing on his mind"
"ugh, player... so repulsive"
"why does he have so many kinks? blowjobs are so degrading for me, i would never do that (even if when he is willing to return the favour and go down on me)"
"he just wants to USE me for sex... I am NOT an object"
nobody said you were an object, the assumption was that you are confident in your sexuality and enjoy sex as much as I do and therefore would not consider a casual encounter to be 'obejctifying'! it is only true that you are being 'used' for sex if you do not enjoy it as much and therefore do not wish to participate.
therefore, women cannot POSSIBLY enjoy sex as much as men do, being at best demisexual or hypergamous and at worst, totally asexual.

Lol women do enjoy sex just as much as men do. It is just there are many societal and cultural factors put in place to shame a women who wants sex as much as a man. Not to mention in turn women are admonished for having had too many partners etc. But the norms which dictate a woman's sex life is stronger than men realise.
p. s hey :)
hello :P :P
but, but... we talked about some of these societal and cultural factors last time we talked (e. g. slut-shaming) and while I agree that some men might disapprove of the idea that long-term partners, by and large it is not really a SOCIAL phenomena if the woman dates / sleeps around outside of her own familiar circles. also, I believe it is important to date / marry a partner that accepts you for who you are, including the fact that you are a sexual person, and yes... you have had sexual partners before him.
but yes, it is true that as a man, I am not going to feel the full brunt of whatever cultural forces the opposite gender faces. nonetheless, I have still had to deal with situations that tested my confidence and personal ethics when the way society believed I should be did not coincide with the way I believed that I should be. in the end I decided it was more important to accept oneself.
if there are people that really are so stuck in their old fashioned ways that

It just depends on the women.
Demisexuality is far more common in women than men. There's a lot of reasons for that; check out the neuroscience of sex. However, be aware that not everyone has the same brain composition. And just because it is more common doesn't mean you will personally experience it more often.
I've met many women who are allosexual. Drawn primarily to looks and dress and mannerisms and the simple act of sex itself.
Also, a woman who is hypergamous sounds asexual to me if she isn't looking for a partner to have sex with. It's just an asexual with a priority of wealth, not romance. (aromantic asexual)
However, a hypergamous women could probably very well enjoy sex and enjoy using it to get what they want.
(this would be classified as an aromantic allosexual. Doesn't have romantic desires for a partner, but does have sexual desires.)
That kind of women would be fine with an aromantic allosexual as well, if her desire is wealth and he can provide it.
The point is there are so many different types of women out there. Everything from culture to their brain composition can determine their perceptions of sex.
I wouldn't be so quick to write off women not liking sex as much as men. But I do think men are more likely to be comfortable with casual sex than women as a whole.

The truth, as any man who has been married more than a few years will tell you, is that women do NOT like sex just as much as men do. Not even close.

when I searched the book, I did find some correlating evidence:
'First, confounding the view of marriage as the female heaven and haven is the fact that marriage actually appears to benefit men more than it does women (link is external). Research has shown that the "marriage benefits"—the increases in health (link is external), wealth (link is external), and happiness (link is external) that are often associated with the status—go disproportionately to men. Married men are better off than single men. Married women, on the other hand, are not better off than unmarried women.
Second, in contrast to the myth that marriage is a woman's ultimate and sacred fulfillment is the reality that roughly two-thirds of divorces are initiated by women (link is external). This is true not only for the young and hip: A recent AARP survey (link is external) of 1147 men and women ages 40-79 who experienced a divorce in their 40s, 50s, or 60s, found that 66% of women said they initiated the split.'
'A recent paper (link is external) by Stanford sociologist Michael J. Rosenfeld analyzed longitudinal data from the How Couples Meet and Stay Together survey—a survey of a nationally representative sample of 2,262 adults in heterosexual relations followed from 2009 to early 2015.'
Interesting stuff, admittedly.

Inspired by my friend Jo, who regularly keeps up her blog, I have decided it is high time I took myself in hand! So, I am intending to start my blog again, with the intention of writing it once a week, posting onSundays whenever I can. Feel free to tell me off if I relapse!
I have quite a few things on my creative plate at the moment, but I'll start today with my latest commission which is a stole for an ordinand who is being ordained at Petertide this year (towards the end of June), so I have very little time to complete it. Fabrics etc have been purchased, and I have spent much of this week framing up, preparing and transferring the design. I am ready to begin stitching this afternoon. The photos below show the design being transferred to the fabric by the traditional 'prick and pounce' method.
It looks very messy, but once the tracing paper is removed and the dots joined up, then the design is easy to follow.
Now, many hours of stitching to put in! Come and have a look next Sunday to see how I am getting on.

After 'Graphs' (see NLR 24), maps: geography, or social geometry? Literary spaces plotted as competing fields for industrialization, peasant rebellion, state formation. The second of Moretti's three essays conceptualizing patterns of genre and history, form and force.
Abstract Models for Literary History—2
There is a very simple question, about literary maps: what exactly do they do? What do they do that cannot be done with words, that is; because, if it can be done with words, then maps are superfluous. Take Bakhtin's essay on the chronotope: it is the greatest study ever written on space and narrative, and it doesn't have a single map. Carlo Dionisotti's Geografia e storia della letteratura italiana, the same. Raymond Williams's The Country and the City, the same. Henri Lafon's Espaces romanesques du XVIIIe siècle . . . Do maps add anything, to our knowledge of literature?

Helping to advance biomimetic and tether-free robotics, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) recently tested their latest running robot, the Cheetah, that ran, jumped, and walked without being tied to bulky cords and electronic wires.
Inspired by the fastest animal on the planet, MIT's Cheetah reached a running speed of 10 mph across grassy terrain. Although not nearly as fast as a real life cheetah, which can reach speeds of 112 to 120 km
MIT developed a new algorithm that allows their Cheetah robot to move its legs in tandem much like real life cheetahs when running at top speed. The new algorithm also mimics another key feature demonstrated among the fastest animals, namely, the application of greater downward force when pushing off the ground. Doing this achieves longer strides, which in turn leads to faster running speeds.
Sangbae Kim, an associate professor of mechanical engineering at MIT, says, "Many sprinters, like Usain Bolt, don't cycle their legs really fast. They actually increase their stride length by pushing downward harder and increasing their ground force, so they can fly more while keeping the same frequency."
Other benefits to this force-based approach to robotics include increased stability when encountering obstacles. Instead of fitting delicate force sensors on the feet of their robot, MIT's Cheetah uses high-torque-density electric motors that are controlled by amplifiers to achieve greater speeds without compromising stability. "Most robots are sluggish and heavy, and thus they cannot control force in high-speed situations," says Kim. "That's what makes the MIT cheetah so special: You can actually control the force profile for a very short period of time, followed by a hefty impact with the ground, which makes it more stable, agile, and dynamic."
In time, these MIT researchers and engineers hope to bring the Cheetah's running speed up to at least 30 mph.

Neuroendoscopic management and cytogenetical analysis of subependymal giant cell astrocytoma in a twenty-seven-year-old patient with Bourneville syndrome
Search Medline for
|May 20, 2009
Objective: Bourneville syndrome (tuberous sclerosis complex – TSC) is a rare disease with autosomal dominant mode of inheritance. The condition is characterized by the potential for hamartoma formation in almost every organ. The presence of subependymal giant cell astrocytomas is seen in about 5% of the cases with TSC and in most of them does not necessitate neurosurgical intervention.
Results: A twenty-seven-year-old male patient was admitted to the clinic with a one-month-history of single generalized seizures. Electroencephalography showed paroxysmal activity in the right temporo-occipital region. Multiple periventricular and cortical lesions were found in neuroimaging studies (i.e. computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging). Two types of dermatologic lesions were found during patient's examination – hypomelanotic macules (one in the abdominal region and another on the right arm), as well as malar area facial angiofibromas. No neurological abnormalities were found. The abdominal sonography found hyperechogenic areas within the renal and hepatic parenchyma. Prophylactic septum pellucidum fenestration and partial excision of the periventricular lesion were performed using neuroendoscopic approach. The histological result was subependymal giant cell astrocytoma. A comparative genomic hybridization analysis was also performed using tumor sample. The patient recovered well after the intervention without any additional complaints.
Conclusions: Most of the patients having subependymal giant cell astrocytoma as a CNS-form of Bourneville syndrome do not need surgical intervention. The neuroendoscopic approach is a safe, minimally invasive, and effective method for obstructive hydrocephalus treatment in these cases.

The reason Wolf came in the back door!
In 1759 Battle of the Plains of Abraham, British troops commanded by General James Wolfe successfully resisted the column advance of French troops and Canadien militia under General Louis-Joseph, Marquis de Montcalm, employing new tactics that proved extremely effective against standard military formations used in most large European conflicts. Both generals were mortally wounded during the battle; Wolfe received three gunshot wounds that ended his life within minutes of the beginning of the engagement and Montcalm died the next morning after receiving a musket ball wound just below his ribs. In the wake of the battle, the French evacuated the city; their remaining military force in Canada and the rest of North America came under increasing pressure from British forces.
France ceded most of its possessions in eastern North America to Great Britain in the Treaty of Paris.

Here is my card:white embossing powder along with the background stamp called: Garden Flourish from MFT as I wanted to create a resist background to blend in some color, Tickled Pink, one of my favorite.
Afterwards, I used the stitched A2 rectangle from Blueprints 25 and ran through the die cut machine. Next, I went on to create the middle and decided to use my Pierced Square dies to help me with it.
For the bigger square, I used Ripe Raspberry cardstock and than cut out 4 smaller squares using white and pieced them together. Added some craft foam under the square to elevate this little platform and give it some dimension.
Added the Leaf Filled Flourish using Green Envy shimmer paper and created the flower using Mini Hybird Heirloom Rose along with felt. The sentiment was from the set called: Pretty Poppies which was heat embossed using white powder. Added some sparkling clear sequins from Pretty Pink Posh to finish off the card.
As always, if you haven't checked out the challenge, please stop over to check out all the inspiration.

DailyDirt: Badminton Robots FTW
from the urls-we-dig-up dept
- Badminton robots are getting better slowly. This robot has binocular vision from two cameras and was built by students at the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China. However, it cheats a little bit by using two rackets....
- Just last year, Dong Jiong (a retired badminton professional) played against a couple of these badminton robots on a regulation court. The robots didn't play very well, but they actually played -- and presumably, upgrades will give them superhuman badminton skills someday.
- Badminton robots from the Flanders' Mechatronics Technology Centre (FMTC) in Belgium were relatively primitive 2013. However, the developers were learning about optimizing the efficiency of robots -- not actually trying to create a robot that could beat people at badminton.

Cemetery of Albanian partisans fallen in battle during the Second World War. Each year, on 29 September, in Tirana is commemorated the Albanian national liberation day. This tradition has been followed by their relatives since the end of the war. Relatives of the fallen commemorate those who had somehow been forgotten from the communist regime. The actual government takes care and pays attributes to them on the national day, but politics is divided in two parts in an absurd debate for the date of Albania's Liberation Day. The Democratic Party commemorates on 28 of November and the Socialist Party is convinced that the liberation date is 29 November. Both bringing loneliness to the fallen in war
Yearly Archives: 2007
Albanian fashion week has been very weak through years. In beginning of May 2007, for the first time ever few Albanian fashion designers such as Rezarta Skifteri, Anila Zajmi, Enada at Nikolles, or Ardi Asllani tried to regroup together and create the so called Albanian Fashion Week. On the 14 May 2007 the first day started with the only one designer Rezarta Skifteri. The others were resigned for different reasons. Thus this week was not complete. That was a good occasion for Albanian models that wanted to promote themselves, and trying to give a hand to the stylist to perform with the show.
Passion for animals, they are all made of it. This is the story of three vets from Asti, Roberta Terzuolo, Renzo Mangone and Gianstefano Filippone who share a passion and commitment towards animals. They dedicated their lives to them and live with the spirit of these creatures. Love is not something you can explain. Instinctively it finds its way to our heart and there is something unexplainable inside FOUR love.
People from all religious backgrounds come to St. Anthony of Padua shrine in Lac, northern Albania, in a pilgrimage that one hopes to bring healing. For almost 50 years, religious beliefs were forbidden in Albania. No one was allowed to profess religion during Communism. No religious institutions were permitted. Albania was thus the first official atheist country in the world. That brief rule has reversed and crowds of Catholic faithful go there each June 12 to worship this holy place

plant quick find clear
Lavandula_ spp.
Lavender fills the early-summer garden with sensory delights: beautiful purple-tone blooms atop foliage that oozes fragrance on a sunny afternoon. Every part of the plant is infused with aromatic oil, making this a choice herb to place along pathways or near outdoor seating areas so you can savor the fragrance. Lavender varieties abound: The darker the flower, the more intense the aroma -- and the flavor in cooking.
Drought-, heat-, and wind-tolerant, lavender doesn't like poor drainage, waterlogged soil, or high humidity. Raised beds can enhance drainage; surrounding plants with a gravel mulch can help increase heat around roots. After flowering, shear plants to induce bushiness and subsequent bloom. Avoid cutting plants back to the ground. Dried blooms retain fragrance for a long time; crush dried flowers to release aromatic oils anew.

how to grow Lavender
Harvest Tips
Gather blossoms when they have just opened. Use individual blooms fresh, discarding the little brown or green caps that hold them to the stems. Or cut entire flower stems to dry for later use. Typically flowers are pressed into service in the kitchen, although some recipes from the South of France feature the fragrant leaves.
Pick and dry flowers for seasoning desserts, such as cookies, cakes, and ice cream, or use as an edible garnish on a salad or fresh berries. Lavender blends deliciously with mint and lemon to brew a refreshing tea. Or try blending your own Herbes de Provence seasoning mixture by combining dried lavender blooms with thyme, basil, fennel, and savory. Use this blend to season grilled meats, fish, or stews. Tuck lavender blooms into vinegar to create a deliciously fragrant and uniquely tinted flavoring.

It still feels like a well-kept secret. The Taos Talking Picture Festival has kept a low profile, even as it has risen quickly in prominence as a vital stop on the world cinema tour. Unless you're inside one of the eight screening rooms, you'd barely know the festival was taking place. The lines move quickly, and aside from their black attire and purple passes, the filmmakers are virtually unrecognizable. Traffic is as slow as ever on the one road through town, and the streets are empty by 11 p.m., when even on a Saturday night, only two bars stay open.
When a film wins the grand prize at other big festivals like Cannes or Sundance or creates a buzz at a place like Telluride, you can be reasonably sure it has some kind of future. It may not make it to Colorado Springs, where American Beauty is as close as we get to an art film, but you might hear of it playing at the Mayan in Denver. Part of the ambience of TTPF is the feeling that, although these filmmakers certainly have a future, many of the films will never be seen again in a movie house. The transitory, temporal experience of these films heightens the value of the experience.
This year's Taos Land Grant Award winner -- five acres on a mesa 10 miles north of town -- is a case in point. Daniel Yoon's Post Concussion is an inventive, quirky and hilarious look at a character who becomes a stranger in his own life after suffering a concussion in an automobile accident.
Yoon, who wears the hats of director, producer, screenwriter, cinematographer, editor and star, created an irresistible tale full of insight, humor and tenderness as Matthew, a corporate downsizing expert, reclaiming his life after the accident. Yoon opens the film with a spoof of the public service personal injury films of the '50s, continuing to intercut these scenes of "dorks waiting for disaster to strike" into the body of his narrative as the story unfolds. He makes beautiful use of time lapse footage of boats on the San Francisco Bay to mirror the tweak perception of time after the injury, and, enhancing the film's autobiographical nature, he casts his own mother as Matthew's mother, appearing through voice-over answering machine messages that effectively ground the story.
Yoon was a stranger to the camera when he made this first feature, explaining that he only wanted "to complete the film and not go bankrupt or hurt anyone we cared about." Relying on unpaid actors and crew, Yoon said "you could buy a car with the money it took to make the film. A used car." He's working on new scripts and deadpans that he's "concerned about being pigeonholed as a personal injury filmmaker."
The steepest competition for the Land Grant Award came from Long Night's Journey into Day, a documentary film by Frances Reid and Deborah Hoffmann that brings us into South Africa's riveting, unprecedented experiment in national healing through the Truth and Reconciliation Committee hearings. The film follows four murder cases in which the TRC weighted amnesty with justice, granting the former on the two conditions that applicants fully disclosed the facts about their crimes and that the crimes were politically motivated. The process brings victims and perpetrators face to face in a unique attempt to let the truth provide resolution and closure.
The hearings are remarkable, a Kafka-esque confrontation of civility and vengeance, and the footage of wives and mothers of the murder victims reacting to testimony is both heart-wrenching and hopeful. The hearings were held, literally, on a stage, with those attending playing the role of a Greek chorus, watching characters who had previously exerted uncontested power in apartheid South Africa squirming under the scrutiny of their public confessions.
The film makes the point that "you want to see that they're not monsters after all." And though at least one of the four cases featured applicants who were not forthcoming in their disclosures, there was more promise than pessimism. As one of the film's subjects put it, "When you see them look back with regret, you think there's hope for humanity."
Another highlight of the festival was Stranger with a Camera, the story of the 1967 murder of Canadian filmmaker Hugh O'Connor by Hobart Ison, a native of Jeremiah, Kentucky. O'Connor was documenting the poverty-stricken area, filming Ison's tar-paper pine shack rental property, when Ison drove up and started shooting, resenting the outsiders he believed had come to Appalachia to embarrass the locals in front of the world.
Director Elizabeth Barret was a high school student three miles from Jeremiah when the murders took place. The process of stepping behind the camera to tell the story forced her to confront questions about who has the right to tell a community's story.
Ison was vindicated by many in his community for defending himself against outsiders. When his crew testified that they didn't know what a serious invasion their presence in town and on Ison's property had been, the local response after the murder was "I bet you know it now." Ison's plea bargain for involuntary manslaughter yielded a ten-year sentence. He was paroled after one year.
One of the festival's most uplifting films was On and Off the Res with Charlie Hill, chronicling over 20 years in Hill's career as a stand-up comedian and comedy writer for everyone from Steve Allen to Roseanne Barr, subverting stereotypes and prejudices in his performances for mostly Anglo audiences in which he tries "to turn poison into medicine."
Other notable films included Steal This Movie, a portrait of cultural revolutionary Abbey Hoffman, who utilized "guerilla theater" to rescue the Civil Rights and antiwar movements from the fringes; The Photographer which follows a tortured artist through the backstreets of New York on a surreal quest, complete with Scarecrows and Tinmen; and The Origin of Man, Stuart Hynson Culpepper's subtle coming-of-age exploration of sexuality, fatherhood, and mortality.
A few films that touched the edge of the mainstream include Stanley's Gig, a tender, affirming film about a ukulele player who dreams of playing gigs on cruise ships and settles for playing to senior citizens as a recreational therapist at a nursing home; The Last Producer, a dark film directed by and starring Burt Reynolds in which Reynolds exposes his vulnerabilities as an aging icon; and Vadim Jean's black comedy One More Kiss, a surprisingly effective film in the terminal disease genre in which a dying character returns home to Scotland, hoping to spend time with the great love of her life, now married, and have a few final arguments with her father.
Merata Mita, recognized with the Taos Mountain Award for lifetime achievement for an outstanding aboriginal film professional, scored a hit with the local favorite Dread, a portrait of a community of self-sufficient Rastafarians living on New Zealand's east coast.
As surprising as it is that Taos has managed to tentatively maintain its identity under the pressures of tourism, it is just as impressive that the Talking Picture Festival maintains its cozy atmosphere blending world cinema with cutting edge projects from previously unheralded artists. It's worth looking for these films in the big cities, on cable and at the video store, but more importantly, look for these artists to take the momentum from Taos to break through with a new generation of cinema.

Crews from the state Department of Water Resources are investigating a break or leak in a state water pipeline near Livermore that flooded a parking lot and vineyard at a local winery.
A portion of the 5-foot-diameter pipeline broke into three sections, according to DWR spokesman Eric Alvarez. The situation was discovered Tuesday afternoon.
The spur line transports water from Lake Del Valle to communities in Alameda and Santa Clara counties. It was being pressed into extra service during the state's ongoing project to enlarge and improve the South Bay Aqueduct, the main means of water delivery in the region.
DWR engineers believe the breakage is the result of water, either from recent rainstorms or from a small leak in the pipeline, saturating the earth beneath the pipe that supports its weight.
Residents should not see any effect in their water supply, according to Alvarez, and DWR engineers are putting alternative water sources in place.
"The immediate supply they are already rectifying from the San Luis Reservoir," he said.
Repair of the spur is expected to take at least two months, but the aqueduct enlargement project is scheduled to be completed Jan. 11, restoring the region's main water delivery source.
Crews are still assessing the total damage and planning the specifics of the repairs, according to the DWR.
The break occurred in a portion of the water line on a hillside just above the Wente Vineyards. Water flooded a vineyard and parking lot at the facility, according to the DWR.

About this font family
"Fanfare is such a fun typeface," says Toshi Omagari, who revived the design for The Wolpe Collection. "It was my happiest discovery when I was digging through the Monotype archive. I came across it and had to check the designer's name." No wonder: Fanfare is modern, light and playful – not what you'd expect from an 80-year old design.
From the original, very heavy weight design, Omagari started by creating a black weight, followed by four lighter weights for Wolpe Fanfare, preserving the character of the letterforms all the way down to a thin version. "I wanted to do more than digitize the original weight," he says. "It's surprisingly modern, and its skeleton, its basic structure, is so beautiful." More…
The new design packs more into a small space than most typefaces. It's a natural for publication and advertising design. With displays capable of revealing fine details such as Fanfare's subtly slanted baseline, its lovely forms will easily translate to mobile devices. With an extended European character set that includes Greek and Cyrillic language support, Wolpe Fanfare can speak in many languages.

An easy recipe for lemon pound cake by Gale Gand is published on FoodNetwork.com. The recipe calls for ingredients such as flour, baking soda, butter, sugar and eggs, and it takes about two hours to prepare.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a 6-cup loaf pan with butter, and line it with parchment paper. Combine 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour with 1 teaspoon of baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon of salt in a medium bowl, and set it aside. Using a mixer with a whisk attachment, cream two softened sticks of butter before adding 1 cup of sugar and continuing to mix. Turn the mixer to a low speed, and add four eggs one at a time. Add 2 teaspoons of pure vanilla extract to the butter mixture, and mix again.
Work in alternated batches to add the flour mixture and 1/4 cup of lemon juice to the butter mixture, mixing after each addition until the mixture is just smooth. Pour the batter into the loaf pan, and bake it for about 65 to 75 minutes until the cake is raised in the middle and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
To make the glaze, mix 1/3 cup of sugar with 1/3 cup of lemon juice until the sugar dissolves. After letting the cake rest for 15 minutes, remove it from the pan and cover it with the glaze until it is fully soaked in. Let it rest at room temperature or in the refrigerator before slicing and serving.

I hate it when anybody pops out this question "Any plans of going to India??" . Like i don't what to. Obviously missing my folks back home. But I'll only go when i feel complete about going. Until then. I'm gonna enjoy my independence , my chicken and myself.

Yepp..It's been a while (a long while) and I thought I should first let you know how mad I've been...
1)Yes I am a Snooze Slave: I shouldn't be doing this!! Ok... let me set my alarm for 3.30, 4 hrs of good studies and off to office … Well actually, set an alarm for 3.30, snooze 12 times… 12 x 9 = 108 .. Wake up 5.30ishh… feel extremely proud of myself that I'm actually up before the sun. A steaming cup of hot chocolate, Open the PHP tutorial….annnddd… 3 happy hours under my duvet!!! Wow watta morning.
2)I'm so happy today… I've decided to treat myself (its ok if I miss my diet 1 day)….Do my list, spend 2 hrs at the mall, cook for 2 more hours .. thats pretty much 11 PM… and I realize I'm not hungry and its too boring to eat all that alone.
3)I'm posting a surprise gift for my mom…. But heyyy did u know it's from London to Kadayam and for MY MOM. It will reach her without a "To" address.
4)The time is 12 A.M. I'm dressing up to go nowhere. Do my hairs, nails, pick up a top I bought 2 yrs back but never had an occasion to wear it. Feel extremely good.
Take 57 pictures with 21 expressions. Feeling even better…There is one decent looking snap. My day is made. Remove my make up. Hit the bed.
5)I feel like eating "moor kholambu". Browse the internet. Call up friends, mom, sister. Get 10 styles of the same dish… Northie, Mallu, Iyer, Tamil, Goan . Compile my own style. Ahem… It's getting too complicated. Instant Noodles will do.
Don't blame me. In a city where it's sunny, rainy n snowy the same day and for someone whoz deep stuck in love with her 45 yr old boss...It happens!!

I had been very nervous and anxious about this 2nd attempt at Marathon Maniacs since last Saturday's 6 mile run. Around mile 4 I started feeling knee/ITB pain, and it continued off and on for the rest of the day and into Sunday. My next run was scheduled for Tuesday (4 miles) and I did that one and there was some pain from the beginning. I tried wearing my IT Band strap and it didn't change anything so I took it off in the last mile. I was supposed to run 2 miles the next day but I skipped it. I figured 3 days of rest before the race was better for me physically and emotionally. But the anxiety was something that I struggled with over the next few days. I think if I hadn't been riding and staying with Jill, I may have skipped it altogether - that's how nervous I was!
Friday morning arrived at last and I took my daughter to chemistry class, came back to pick up my bags, and ran a couple of errands before heading down to Jill's house. I was feeling much, much better. Still nervous but the anxiety part of it was gone. Jill and I started off our adventure with donuts from a great little shop that she loves! It was fantastic! I think every adventure is better when you start it with donuts! :)
We arrived at the hotel in the middle of the afternoon. It's the Hampton Inn and Suites and it shares a parking lot with the National Infantry Museum, the location of the expo and the Start/Finish line. The hotel was very nice and the staff were friendly and helpful! We checked in, put our bags up, and headed to the expo. As I do at every race now, I laid out all of my stuff before I went to the expo to make sure I had everything I needed. And I did! Please remember this statement as it will become important later on! :D
We picked up our packets - race bibs, very nice clear plastic sling bags, and a tech shirt. The shirt was very small but I was able to exchange it for a bigger size! The museum was open and I have heard it was nice. I took a couple of pictures and decided that it was a destination for my husband, son, and hopefully myself one day - they will LOVE it!
|The Avenue of the Flags - my finish line will be there tomorrow! (and start line)
|National Infantry Museum - beautiful!
|The entrance!
|One look and I knew my hubby needed to see this place!
|Got my bib!
We took a drive around to check out as much of the race route as we could. The first part of the course is on Fort Benning (which we obviously couldn't access) and most of the rest of the course runs on the Riverwalk - a paved trail that follows the riverfront. But we drove into the downtown area and saw as much of that we could! It was nice to get a feel for where we would be running and I really appreciated that the next day!
Pre-race dinner always means pizza and Jill suggested Mellow Mushroom! It had been so long since I've been there and it was yummy!
|Yep, we ate it all - plus Cinnamon/Honey pretzels for dessert! They don't call it carb-loading for nothing!
Jill and I were both ready for the race and in bed by around 8:15! We are real party animals, huh? I just hadn't gotten ANY sleep all week and I was so nervous. I fell right to sleep and woke up at 12:15 thinking I was up for the day, but I actually went back to sleep until 4:15. My alarm was set for 5, so I consider that a great night of sleep for a race night!
We got ready by 6 to go down to the hotel-provided breakfast which was fantastic! They had my oatmeal but I had already brought/eaten half a bagel since I hadn't realized they would have such an extensive breakfast open in time for the race! Went back up to eat and make use of the real bathroom we had access to! Nothing better than a real toilet before the race! As we left to go to the start, we ran into some friends, including one of the MRTT friends who had volunteered her bottles! She got my attention and asked if I wanted them! YES!! She went back into the room to get them and I filled them up and dumped the other bottles. I was SO happy - the other bottles were really not stable when you put the in and out of holders. It would have been a pain. My day was already getting better!
And then I stepped outside. And into weather that felt more like a Georgia August than November. I was so glad I had thrown my one remaining Sparkle Skirt into my bag at the last minute. I hadn't worn it for a long run since the Hotlanta Half Marathon and I had no idea if I was going to chafe miserably in the longer weather, but I was afraid that wearing the capris I had planned on wearing would be dangerous. My friend Tracy had some issues a few years ago with heat and racing and she told me that the legs being covered is actually more important than the arms, torso, etc. I decided that the risk of chafing was better than the risk of passing out. That was a smart move because the weather proved to be unbelievable!
Speaking of the race, I should get on to the actual race in this Race Report! LOL There was a 15 minute delay in the start due to parking issues. That made me really mad. We were trying to beat storms that were forecast to start around noon. 15 minutes could make the difference in finishing and in the race being cancelled. Why punish the rest of us when we got there early as you should always plan to do for a race?! It was chip timed so they could just start when they got there and the directors could leave the finish line open an additional 15 minutes to accommodate them! Anyway, I was aggravated - but probably that was a result of my building nerves!
|The view of the start from my friend, Susan! We came towards the camera for the start and finished going the opposite direction! It was fantastic!
This course is mostly flat, with the exception of one massive hill in the 2nd-3rd mile, and it was infinitely less crowded than MCM. So our pace was excellent! We had decided to run that massive hill because there would be drill instructors on the hill "encouraging" us up it as if we were soldiers! They were fantastic! I loved it! We had a great pace going and my legs were feeling pretty good! I had twinges come up in either knee, but it wasn't ever anything that made me feel really badly. The only problem was the humidity and heat. I was fading fast. I simply hadn't trained or raced in those conditions this year. I mean, I did some training runs that were in the low to mid 70s for temps but that was back in July and August. My two "hot" races ended up being cool wash-outs. My body was just not ready for these conditions!
The biggest indicator that things weren't "right" was my heart rate. Thanks to my heart rate training in the summer, I had gotten used to judging my heart rate zone. I wasn't wearing the monitor for the race, but I could tell that my HR was not coming down during the 1 minute walk break. That was concerning, especially because we were not even half way done and the temps were still going up! We decided to switch the intervals for a bit around mile 10. We did a few sets of running 1 minute and walking 3 and that worked great! My HR came back down nicely! We decided to do this switch-up again at mile 15 and mile 20. We started running again and my knees protested more than they had before. But it wasn't ever a 'giving out' feeling so I didn't worry about it too much. What I did worry about was my HR. After a few more of the 3/1 intervals, it started not coming back down again, so we decided to do some more flip-flopped intervals after the halfway point. I texted my mom just to let her know that we would be slowing down - at the halfway mat, we were right around 2:26 (a few seconds faster than our MCM pace, which was with more running! Incredible!). But I knew I could not keep this pace up safely. I didn't want her to be worried.
After trying a few 2/3 intervals, we decided to settle in with the 1/3 and no worry about it. Our walk pace was nice and brisk and our run pace was very strong, even until the end (our last 3 runs were 8:30, 8:31, and 8:27!) but the weather just made it harder and harder to run. I was soaking wet as if it had actually been raining! I even developed 2 blisters on my left foot, but not on the bottom of my foot so they didn't bother me when I was running or walking. At one point I stopped to put some glide on them to avoid a bigger problem and I took a couple of pictures of the beautiful downtown Columbus Riverwalk!
|Such a lovely area!
|The view across the river into Alabama! We crossed the river and ran into AL briefly!
It was nice to know that we were heading back! There weren't very many full marathoners so there were times where it appeared that we were the only ones out on the course! I was so glad to have Jill there with me! It would have been very, very lonely without her!
One thing I need to note here is the friendliness of all of the volunteers! The soldiers and civilians both - and really every single person who was out on the course - cheered us on personally! They were encouraging and helpful and made the conditions much better (if that's possible LOL).
Once we hit mile 24, I was confident that we were going to make it. And I felt myself starting to get choked up. I didn't want to be crying as I crossed the finish line so I kept pushing it back! I am not pretty when I cry! We had decided that coming in under 5:30 was probably doable, which is amazing to me considering how much walking we had been doing! So that pushed us to keep up with the run interval even when we didn't want to, and to keep our walk pace brisk when we really didn't want to! But let me tell you, that one minute of running started turning into the LONGEST. MINUTE. EVER. Literally. Ever. In the history of time.
We made the turn onto the Avenue of the Flags and started to run! My friend, Anna, who had rocked the Half Marathon was waiting at the finish and took this fantastic picture of me and Jill heading to that finish line!
|I'm sort of in love with my form!
We crossed that fantastic finish line with a time of 5:27:07! Less than 30 minutes slower than MCM - and my 2nd fastest marathon ever!
|Soldier Marathon Finisher! Love the medal!
|I finally did it!!!

Hi Michelle, I've stumbled onto your blog and now website through googling natural dyes. I have a dye business in NZ but have become really interested in natural dyeing after reading a review of India Flint's book which I've ordered. In the past I've been mainly a quilter and worked with fabric, but have latley become hooked on yarn which I adore hand-painting. I have 2 spinning wheels (and a loom!) but sadly have not had time to learn to spin due to the evil necessity of having a day job as well. I'll keep an eye on your blog from now on.

Jose Mourinho was left angry and in tears after learning that David Moyes had been selected as the new Manchester United boss, according to a new book by Spanish journalist Diego Torres.
The book describes how Mourinho had been convinced by his agent Jorge Mendes that Sir Alex Ferguson had instructed the United board that he wanted Mourinho to be his successor.
The 50 year old was known to have a good relationship with Ferguson and was seemingly keen to make the move to Old Trafford when it became clear that the Scot was ready to finally step down after 26 years.
Mourinho was preparing to leave Real Madrid and it appears he was left in disbelief when he learned that it was Moyes who would be filling the Manchester United hotseat.
In Torres's book, Prepare to lose: The Mourinho Era, the first chapter concentrates on Mourinho being overlooked and it is entitled Llorar (to cry).
"Mourinho, encouraged by his devoted agent Mendes believed that Ferguson, as well as an ally, was his friend and Godfather," writes Torres.
"He was convinced that they enjoyed a friendship of genuine trust. He thought that his fabulous collection of trophies - two European Cups, seven league titles and four cups in four different countries - made for a resumé no other candidate had.
"When he learnt he had chosen Moyes, Mou was incredulous. He screamed: 'But he's won nothing!'"
Mourinho eventually sealed a return to Chelsea but it seems he felt let down by his long term agent Mendes who had convinced him that he would be the next Manchester United manager.
"Jorge Mendes, president and owner of Gestifute, was involved at Old Trafford more than any agent. No representative did such huge or such peculiar business with Ferguson.
"Nobody prepared more carefully, nor knew how to transmit to the media the idea that there was a predestined successor [to Ferguson].
"But if the propaganda affected the consciousness of one man, is was Mourinho himself."

It's been a while, I know, fortunately Jude remembered this blog existed and emailed a contribution. Sorry for the lateness, Jude.
Her entire email is below (copy and pasted because I'm lazy – although I'll take credit for the italics). Please note Ray Bradbury didn't die today it's just been a long time since I checked the email.
Hi there,
As you know, Ray Bradbury died today. Not that I really know his work but there was an interesting quote from him on the People.com website today. I thought it might work for the blog because it explains, very simply, the difference between science fiction and fantasy, something I've often wondered about.
A true iconoclast, Bradbury refused to be pigeonholed. "First of all, I don't write science fiction," he said. "I've only done one science-fiction book and that's Fahrenheit 451, based on reality. It was named so to represent the temperature at which paper ignites. Science fiction is a depiction of the real. Fantasy is a depiction of the unreal. So Martian Chronicles is not science fiction, it's fantasy. It couldn't happen, you see? That's the reason it's going to be around a long time – because it's a Greek myth, and myths have staying power."
Meetings start up again in September – don't forget!

A mostly amusing, informative history of punctuation.
Several years ago, Houston, a computer programmer, came down with a bad case of pilcrow-infatuation. Obsessed with the archaic glyph used to mark the beginnings of paragraphs, he laboriously traced its storied past, encompassing "the ancient Greeks, the coming of Christianity, Charlemagne, medieval writing, and England's greatest twentieth-century typographer." One of these things is not like the other, and readers who do not share Houston's malady will find it difficult to understand the intensity of his interest in punctuation. Spurred on by a chance encounter with the widow of the creator of the interrobang ("a hybrid question mark/exclamation point"), the author broadened his focus. From the first visual markers denoting word boundaries in Greek and Roman texts to the development of computerized kerning and letter-scaling systems ("[d]enizens of the typographic world were not amused," fearing that automation threatened the purity of their craft), Houston explores the roles a variety of punctuation marks have played in the popular imagination. The forgotten manicule, the modest dash and the ampersand all make appearances, as do intriguing characters from millennia past: Scrolls at the library of Alexandria featured the "dotted diple"—"used to mark passages where the scholar differed with the reading of other critics." The author also keenly laments perceived punctuational slights—e.g., the world's longest footnote, a 165-page aside cataloging Britain's Roman walls, "is, sadly, introduced by the letter u rather than an asterisk or dagger." The book is often engrossing, but the author can never quite decide if he is aiming for a substantive book on the history of written expression or for a compendium of errata. Scores of prints from ancient and medieval manuscripts suggest the former; the final chapter, an exhaustive anthology of proposals for marking irony and sarcasm, many on deleted personal webpages, the latter.
An unusual triumph of the human ability to find exaltation in the mundane.

What a strange thing
to be alive
beneath cherry blossoms
~Kobayashi Issa
It is National Poetry Month people! Here are some offerings to help celebrate language and the return of Spring to the Northern Hemisphere.
Apps for Poetry
Check out last year's Post on Poetic Apps. It included several free apps from ReadWriteThink to create and publish beautiful poems. I especially love their Haiku maker.
I've come across several more excellent free Poetry Month Apps more recently. For starters, try Poetry from the Poetry Foundation. This is an app for older students as some of the poetic themes require a mature vocabulary and mind. Poetry Daily offers free poems by theme and I would keep this one for students ages 12 or older as well. Heck, I might even wait until 14 or 15. A middle schooler with an ear for limericks might make for some sketchy situations.
Poems by Heart from Penguin Classics is a cool tool to help students memorize classic poems. Again, there are some mature themes and a few saucy words here and there.
If you really don't mind bawdy talk in your poetry or you wish to relate poetry to rap, "keeping it real," try Poetry Creator. It is free and brings in lyrics from Rap songs and mashes them with Shakespeare's sonnets and monologues creating word magnets to reassemble into original works.
Poetreat bills itself as a tool to "Write quick and simple bites of Poetry." It is a poetry editor that suggests rhymes as you write. This one would be good for budding poets with raging hormones or anyone who needs a little rhyming help.
Teacher Resources
Richard Byrne of Free Technology for Teachers has published a nice list of 5 Resources for National Poetry Month He includes Scholastic's list of resources but it is worth a special mention here as well. They have everything nicely laid out by grade level.
ReadWriteThink is always one of my first stops for anything literary. They have excellent student interactives to get poets from K-12 composing. They also have Lesson Plans galore organized by theme, grade level, or form.
The 30 Ways to Celebrate National Poetry Month is really nifty with some terrific ideas and resources.
Reading Rockets has excellent poetry resources for all ages, not just the wee mongrels.
Edutopia always has something to offer that is beyond worthy. Their National Poetry Month Resources by Matt Davis is no exception.
Listening to the World
Perhaps my favorite poet, Mary Oliver recently sat down with On Being's Krista Tippett. She reads some of her illuminating poems and discusses life, habits, and grief with Krista. I love On Being and I adore Mary Oliver. Listening to the World is just for you to enjoy, dear reader.

What's on Your Nightstand - February 28
That aside, it was an amazing month for reading and despite the fact that I am getting a little tight on time for a couple of books, one will have to likely to wait until early March to finish/complete, I have read and reviewed a number of fascinating books, which the last two books that I completed in the last two days don't have a review, but will be posted alongside the March books. I digress.
1. Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone
2. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
3. The Scarlet Letter
4. The Help
5. The Cat's Table
6. The Marriage Plot
7. The Gift
8. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
9. The Kitchen Counter School: How a Few Simple Lessons Transformed Nine Culinary Novices Into Fearless Home Cooks
10. 11/22/63
11. My Life in France
12. Anya's Ghost
Yes, that is correct I read and reviewed 12 books since the last What's on your Nightstand on January 24. Part of the reason that I was able to read so much was because of a vacation, that I am currently finishing up and I didn't want to bring along all those books and also because I just spend a lot of time finding things to watch as I read, aka sports, as I found that if I watched my sports along with listening to a podcast or two or three, I could get big chunks of books done. Also there was the time crunch and also I don't like bringing books back to the library unread.
On my nightstand:
