This is also the case at the Museum for Nature, Mankind, and the Environment (abbreviated "namu"). For some reason, it does not occur to me until we arrive that it might be difficult to tour a museum in a non-English-speaking country, as all the labels and videos will be incomprehensible to us. Neither of the curators speaks English, and one seems a bit annoyed that we should ask (she is the only person who seems frustrated at our lack of German language skills). The other helpfully brings an English translation of the exhibit, which is somewhat useful—although, when you are a professional biologist, you can usually figure out the basics of what you are looking at in a natural history museum. It turns out that the English translator was decent, but not great, and there are some amusing problems with punctuation and wording. Still, thinking about what it would sound like if I translated something that complex from English into my second language, French, I can hardly make any judgments. The strangest part of the exhibit is a small room that focuses on moles. It contains a television playing a video in which people are clearly doing everything they can to eradicate moles, including driving over the lawn with a heavy roller in order to flatten the surface, and even planting small explosives into mole hills. At the base of the wall containing the television is a see-through tube in which are arranged a small population of crochet moles involved in a variety of very human things. This is one of the less scientific displays I have ever encountered in a science museum, and is particularly odd in a museum that ostensibly focuses on conservation, but it is cute, and I am forced to take pictures of the whole thing.
(Burying their dearly departed--probably someone bombed to death by a maniacal human gardener)
(French immigrant moles)
(Baby mole couch potatoes)
(I approve of both the pink bathroom furniture and the tiny rubber duck)
(I'll let the coffins and bathtubs slide, museum display people, but a cane? That's just silly--moles are quadrupeds)
(I'm not sure what's going on in this scene, but I do know that those moles need some fashion advice)
It turns out that you can buy copies of the crochet moles down at the front desk, and I resist the urge (I find myself always wanting cute, small stuffed animals, probably because I am desperate for a pet). Elsewhere in the museum is an exhibit on ways in which artists have portrayed nature, a subject that is near and dear to my heart. There are many pieces focusing on the story of "Hansel and Gretel," which, my husband and I come to realize, is of German origin. There is something exciting about experiencing something "native" in its "natural" environment, particularly after a lifetime of encountering it somewhere else.
The only negative experience of the entire trip occurs on my last day exploring the town. I am accosted by a creepily over-friendly woman. At first, she speaks German and I think I will be able to escape her attentions by hiding behind the language barrier, but, unfortunately, she speaks excellent English. It turns out that I have caught her attention because I am wearing a relatively demure skirt, and she therefore believes that I am a good Christian lady. Until this encounter, I have not noticed that most women here wear either trousers of some sort (often tight ones) or quite short skirts (often so short that they just cover the swell of the butt—these are accompanied by tights, which theoretically make them look less like they have come from a prostitute's closet). In my knee-covering dress and understated flat shoes, I must have been a sight for sore eyes for this woman, who turns out to have been born a Mennonite before being "born again" into some other Christian sect. She is dressed in an exceedingly plain, homespun-looking, ankle-length skirt and a strange turban-like hat, wears no makeup or jewelry, and has a strange unhealthy pallor that makes me uncomfortable with having to shake her hand (twice!). I am reminded of a pamphlet that my family was given once during a trip to Amish/Mennonite Country in Ohio; it extolled the virtues of women covering their hair, so as not to tempt, and wearing skirts, so as to clearly distinguish their gender. Obviously, the New World Mennonites still have much in common with their Old World counterparts. In any case, I really dislike evangelism, or even just people who feel the need to tell me about the role of God in their life and mine. She invites me to have coffee with her but it is lunchtime, and I claim that I am on my way to meet my husband, and must be off. For some reason her demeanor, though ostensibly pleasant, is so unnerving that I am disconcerted for quite a while, and keep feeling the need to look over my shoulder and check that she is not following me. This type of thing often seems to happen to me or someone in my family when we are on trips. No matter where we go, we find ourselves placed into close proximity with crazy people, religious types, or crazy religious types, forced to endure awkward, uncomfortable, and unwelcome conversations. In this case, despite my discomfort, I am intrigued enough to ponder what variety of Christian this woman is, and whether zealots like her are common in the area.
On our last evening in Bielefeld, just before bed, we are exposed to one last entertaining bit of German culture that is an amusing contrast to the religious nutter (as the Brits would say). While flipping through the television—which receives regular, run-of-the-mill cable—we encounter not one, but two stations in which topless women are fondling or licking their breasts. In one case, there is some sort of television (game?) show that involves four topless women in g-strings and high heels, who for some reason periodically grope each other's very fake bosoms. In the other case, there is a channel with an endless string of ads for various sex-oriented phone numbers that can be called for a good time; while, in the US and the UK, that "good time" might be indicated by a sluttily-dressed young hottie posing and strutting suggestively, in Germany the hottie is sluttily undressed and is involved in masturbatory foreplay—all on public television, and it's not even midnight yet:
(A picture of our TV; the censor bar is mine, not the Germans')
One of the many things you often hear about Germans is that, though they may be tidy and proper during the day, they can be quite deviant and naughty by night. Other than this brief example, we have not seen much evidence of this, though some of our friends at the conference did see a very provocative sex shop in the otherwise "family-friendly" airport terminal. This is certainly very unlike anything I would find in my rather repressed homeland, though I hear that it is relatively mild compared to what can be experienced in other European countries, such as Sweden. I suppose that is something I will have to discover in future travels.

|Hip hop, rap, pop

|Years active
Island Def Jam Music Group/Republic Records (2011–2014)
RCA/Jive Label Group (2008–2011)
Jive Records (1991–2011)
Barry Weiss (born February 11, 1959, in Demarest, New Jersey) is an American music executive. He served as chairman and CEO of The Island Def Jam Music Group and Universal Republic Records from 2011 to 2014, RCA/Jive Label Group from 2008 to 2011 and was also the CEO of its constituent Jive Records from 1991 to 2011. Both companies were under the purview of Sony Music Entertainment.[1] Weiss is best known as an important force in the careers of Britney Spears, Backstreet Boys, 'N Sync, among numerous others. His late father, Hy Weiss, was a music entrepreneur from the first generation of rock'n'roll and Doo Wop music (Black and White vocal groups from Harlem), owning and operating Old Town Records from 1953 until 1996. Weiss was a member of Sigma Pi at Cornell University
Jive Records & RCA/Jive Label Group
In 1981, Clive Calder of Zomba started his first U.S. record label Jive Records, which released British dance and pop music such as Q-Feel, A Flock of Seagulls and Tight Fit. In 1982, Calder was introduced to a young Barry Weiss, fresh out of college at Cornell University. For his job interview with Zomba, Weiss took Calder out to hip-hop and black clubs all over New York City, demonstrating his keen awareness of the scene at the time.[2] Calder was immediately impressed and hired him to scan sales data from all over the country searching for unknown acts with significant sales. Together, Weiss and Calder turned Jive into a veritable hip hop and rap empire throughout the eighties, beginning with Whodini.
Weiss continued working for Jive in various capacities helping establish such blockbuster pop acts as Britney Spears, Usher, Backstreet Boys, Justin Timberlake, 'N Sync and T-Pain. When Calder sought to retire from the business and sold Zomba to Bertelsmann, Weiss was appointed head of the resultant Zomba Label Group in 2004. In 2008, Weiss replaced music executive Clive Davis as chairman of BMG Label Group, which was renamed RCA/Jive Label Group in early 2009.[1] Weiss left the company in March 2011. Later on that year Sony Music underwent a major restructuring where multiple Jive Records artists were moved to Epic Records while other stayed with Jive as it moved under the RCA Music Group. In October 2011 Jive Records was dissolved with their artists being moved to RCA Records.[3]

News Release
Michigan Briefs
August 17, 2006
Staff Reports
Police seek witnesses to fatal M-60 crash
Police are looking for witnesses to an accident that killed a 50-year-old Three Rivers man early Wednesday on Michigan 60 in Newberg Township. The man, Holley Penn, was driving west on M-60, just west of Main Street just after 5 a.m., when he reportedly swerved to avoid a collision with a semi-truck and ran off the road, the Cass County Sheriff's Office reported. When Penn attempted to correct himself, he apparently lost control of his vehicle and veered into oncoming traffic, where he crashed into an eastbound truck driven by Michael Bogue, 53, of Dowagiac, a news release said. Penn died from his injuries. Bogue was treated and released at the scene. The accident remains under investigation. Anyone with information or who was a witness to the accident is asked to contact the Cass County Sheriff's Office at (269) 445-8644.
Bike rider, 90, injured in collision with car
A 90-year-old Edwardsburg man who was riding his bicycle Wednesday morning in Mason Township was hit by a car after he failed to yield at an intersection, the Michigan State Police post in Niles reported. The man, whose name was not released, was hit at the intersection of Redfield Street and Maple Glen Drive at about 9:16 a.m. by a vehicle driven by a 70-year-old Edwardsburg woman, a news release said. The driver was not injured but the bicyclist was taken to Elkhart General Hospital with severe injuries, the release said. Police would like anyone with more information to call Trooper Rob Herbstreith at (269) 683-4411.
Police name new driver in Aug. 3 fatality
Authorities now believe a 38-year-old Dowagiac man who was initially considered a passenger in a car that crossed the centerline causing a fatal head-on collision was actually the driver. The Cass County Sheriff's Office reported that a further investigation into the crash on Michigan 152 in Silver Creek Township on the night of Aug. 3 revealed that Keith Jackson was the driver, not the passenger, in the fiery crash that killed 46-year-old Robert Sullivan, of Hartford, Mich. Initially, police believed Sullivan was the driver of the vehicle at fault. At this time, none of those involved in the crash has been able to give a statement to police. However, an eyewitness came forward with information that Jackson was driving. Jackson was critically injured and is a patient at Memorial Hospital in South Bend. The driver of the other vehicle, Dale Young, was transferred first to a Kalamazoo hospital and later to a Chicago hospital.
Bicyclist, truck collide; man hurt
A bicyclist suffered serious head injuries after he crashed into the side of a truck Tuesday afternoon, the Dowagiac Police Department reported. The bicyclist, whose name was not released, was riding east on the north sidewalk along the 300 block of East Division Street at about 4:15 p.m. when he reportedly ran into the passenger-side door of a pickup truck that was pulling onto the road from a business, a news release said. The cyclist, who was not wearing a helmet, was thrown from his bike into the side of the truck, the release said. He was taken to Borgess-Lee Memorial Hospital in Dowagiac and later airlifted to Borgess Medical Center in Kalamazoo. The pickup driver was cut by glass from the shattered passenger window but did not seek treatment, the release said.

As pre-production with RAUSCH ALBUM #2 forges ahead, we feel the timing right to put out one big collective Heads Up. As most of you know, all guitar functions to date (well, 81%) - both studio & live - have been handled by several of our good friends in progressive rock's Shadow Gallery and while this next album will also feature some very special guests, we must now come to terms with the fact that, alas, permanently kidnapping them for our very own would admittedly be a little NO FAIR...
Thus, RAUSCH now begins an epic search for a more "permanent" lead guitarist we can call our own. As these are no easy shoes to fill, we are hereby reaching out: should you be responsible for a referral leading to the right fit, you will enjoy one (1) complimentary signed copy of RAUSCH ALBUM #2 [a $100,000 value] and an indisputably secured position in MUSIC HISTORY.
Here's to NOT LETTING IT DIE in 2013!

DENVER Greg Ostertag's return to professional basketball received mixed reviews from his old team.
Responses ranged from astonishment to questions about Big O's age and intentions, to outbursts of laughter.
Jazz coach Tyrone Corbin was a Utah assistant under Jerry Sloan during the latter part of Ostertag's 11-year NBA career, which ended in 2006.
When asked for his reaction to Ostertag being signed by the D-League's Texas Legends, Corbin simply replied, "Are you serious?"
Corbin then walked off laughing.
Now in his 12th season, Raja Bell played with Ostertag during their first Utah stints. He could only guess that something relit the 7-foot-2 big man's desire to play.
"Basketball's what you know and (when) you're away from it long enough, those fires still burn in you to compete and play," Bell said. "I don't know what his personal situation is, but maybe there's something there that needs to be fulfilled and he's hoping basketball fills that for him."
Perhaps the only player in NBA history with a Fred Flintstone tattoo, the 38-year-old Ostertag told the Dallas Morning News that is indeed the case.
"I missed playing. I shouldn't have quit when I did and I feel like I got to give it one last shot to see if I can make it happen," the Duncanville, Texas, native said.
"I know there's a lot of naysayers out there who think I couldn't play when I was younger and how am I going to be able to play now?" he added. "But I'm going to give myself a month or two to get in really good shape and see what happens.''
Who knows. Maybe he'll be the last one laughing.

Life Lately is a blog series that gives a summarized version of what I've been up to the last couple of weeks. This one will highlight the first two-three weeks of my October. Read along for the quick telling about the places I've been, places I will go, and things I've been doing.
- I've been all around North and South the past two weeks. From the adrenaline-rush adventure that is Sandbox in Pampanga to the really cold staycation/roadtrip at Tagaytay in a midst of a storm. It's been really tiring but really fun as well. I'm only just starting to explore our own country and there are just so much to see and do.
- My travel buddies and I spontaneously book tickets to Hong Kong for next year. We have also booked our hostel so all that's left is to save up for our pocket money and for the days to go faster. Considering that I only noticed that a week is up is when a new episode of HTGAWM airs, then yes, the days are going way too fast.
- Another adventure being planned is the Christmas get-together slash reunion with my father's side of the family. It's been bouncing back and forth between North (Ilocos) and South (Laiya, Batangas). It's leaning more on the North option as of writing and I hope it stays that way.
- Trying to put our planned Singapore family trip for April 2016 into my budget. I'm not so sure I'll be able to meet my financial goal for this year and buy our plane tickets at the same time. Does anyone know where I can buy plants that grow money? I desperately need it.
- November is fast approaching which means I need to secure a ticket for Bazooka Rocks Fest IV ASAP. This year's headliner is Never Shout Never. I should mention that I created a blog solely for Never Shout Never that's been running from 2011-2014. I should also mention that all ticket holders get to meet all bands. Where are the plants that grow money again?!
- I also moved my blog to WordPress. It's taken me a few days to grasp at the basic functionalities but I think I'm getting the hang of it. That's the main reason I've been MIA the last two-three weeks.
- I started reading again. All I've been doing (books-wise) was re-reading Percy Jackson and the Olympians and PS. I Still Love You. Just a few days back, I decided to open up Ms. Peregrine and the Peculiar Children. I put reading it off because I think it's really scary but it's actually not, as I've learned! I'm hoping to finish it the soonest and start on the second book right after.
That's it. I was actually planning on making this post less than 500 words long but I guess there's just so much to say. Come to think of it, October has always been a busy month for me. Last year, it was all about trying to graduate on time (which thank God we did) and now it's about travelling. A year can bring so much change!

It's wonderful to see how designers play with the conventions of common household fittings to come up with concepts like these Wave Shelves, by Vishal Agale. Instead of conceiving a storage system that's reliant on levelness, rigidity and strict horizontality, the creative came up with much more fluid form.
Fluid indeed, for this set of four identical ledges is literally inspired by the undulating shape of offshore breakers. The center third of the wall-mounted board is molded flat to effectively support most household objects while the two flanking sides curve gracefully in opposite directions.
The S-shape of the Wave Shelves by Vishal Agale offers abundant opportunities for creative arrangement. They can be tilted, stacked and assembled to cradle irregular items and secure possessions between them.

- How to Read a Study Record
To determine whether the rate of HIV transmission from mother to infant can be reduced by continuous oral zidovudine (AZT) treatment to HIV infected pregnant women, intravenous AZT during childbirth, and oral AZT treatment of the newborn infant from birth to six weeks of age. The study is also designed to evaluate the safety of AZT for both the pregnant woman and the newborn infant.
No method exists to prevent transmission of HIV from an infected mother to her newborn infant. Giving an antiviral agent (such as AZT) to the mother and to the newborn could in theory decrease the risk of infection to the newborn by reducing the exposure of the fetus to maternal virus, or by preventive treatment of the fetus before exposure.

No method exists to prevent transmission of HIV from an infected mother to her newborn infant. Giving an antiviral agent (such as AZT) to the mother and to the newborn could in theory decrease the risk of infection to the newborn by reducing the exposure of the fetus to maternal virus, or by preventive treatment of the fetus before exposure.
Patients are enrolled during their pregnancy, between 14 and 34 weeks of gestation. They are chosen by random selection to receive AZT or placebo. Treatment continues until labor at which time they begin to receive continuous intravenous study drug. Study drug treatment is discontinued after the umbilical cord is clamped. AZT is then offered all women as per labeled indications for 6 weeks postpartum, while appropriate medical followup is being arranged. Mothers who develop an AIDS defining illness or whose CD4+ cell counts decrease to less than 200 cells/mm3 during pregnancy are offered open-label drug at that time. The mother is followed by her primary obstetrician at an AIDS Clinical Trials Unit (ACTU) or subunit facility. The mother may deliver at the ACTU or a non-ACTU site. Treatment of the infant is started in the newborn nursery and continues on an outpatient basis. Infants receive the same study treatment as the mother for 6 weeks, and are monitored to week 78.

Ghost hunting is quite a popular past time in recent years, with shows such as Sci-Fi's Ghost Hunters, A&E Television's Paranormal State and a myriad of other such themed shows that showcase the unseen and it's pursuit. What is it about these shows that has captured our attention? Each week we tune in faithfully to see the latest ghost hunting adventure, poised on the edge of our seats to see this evidence for ourselves but what of those hunting these unseen spirits? How does one exactly go about hunting the paranormal and what exactly happens when one encounters these shadowy figures? What do we do when we feel that our home is haunted or there is a spirit among us?
In Michelle Belanger's book The Ghost Hunter's Survival Guide, she addresses those that embark upon this pursuit and how working with the paranormal comes with it's own set of concerns and questions of exactly what can be done when encountering a spirit or energy. The paranormal and it's pursuit is relatively new and therefore still developing and each group has it's own investigative methods and procedures from the time they go into an investigation to the final wrap up but what about safety precautions when working with the unseen, can they really harm us or is it all the stuff of Hollywood?
In her book, Michelle discusses several methods of self protection from grounding and centering, shielding and views on psychic self defense that can better arm us for forays into the spirit world. Grounding and centering is one of the most important things that we can do for ourselves when we work with spirit energies and gives us a firm foundation when encountering these situations and helps us remain calm and centered during our quest.
One technique that Michell discusses is to begin by taking three deep, cleansing breaths, imagining in your mind that as you inhale you are taking in pure white energy and expelling unwanted or stressful energy as you exhale. See, in your minds eye, roots extending from your feet deep into the earth and feel it's energy flowing into you, next feel your energy extending far up into the sky as you connect with the heavens and feel it flowing down into you.
Feeling that a part of you is connected deep within the earth and far into the heavens, imagine this energy is collecting within you, just below your ribcage...allow this energy to build and expand until it surrounds you in a loving, healing bubble all the way around, above and below...this part is called shielding and is an important part when conducting any paranormal investigation or simple trying to make contact with spiritual energy.
It is important to note that these teqniques can also be adapted to suit our beliefs and tailored to our own personal use. I have found this an exciting, helpful and downright useful book since I use my tarot cards to connect with the other side and being informed and spiritually armed is always useful information when contacting spiritual energy in this manner. You don't have to be a ghost hunter to benefit from it's wealth of information and practical examples to pick this book up and read it, it applies to anyone that comes in contact with or plans to come in contact with the spirit world, whether it be a Ouija board, seance or the Tarot, like myself.
In later chapters Michelle discusses different types of spirit energy from human spirits to that of non human energy and what do do when attempting to contact, cleanse of otherwise work with this energy. Included among Michelle's narration are segments titled "Beyond Belief" and "Skeptic's Corner" that discuss different religious beliefs as well as how a skeptic might view the information presented. This book goes through many ways to cleanse and protect your personal space as well as that of your home and property.
This is an excellent book and covers all types of situations and spiritual beliefs whether you are Catholic, Jewish, Protestant, Pagan or even don"t consider yourself as very religious at all. The Ghost Hunter's Survival Guide is an essential book for anyone considering working with the paranormal or just dealing with spirits in general, there is so much information that I've only just touched upon a small part of it. I highly recommend this book.

Kislev vs Dark Elves
This is a solo game of kilsev vs Dark elves. Winner Kislev.
This is a solo game of kilsev vs Dark elves. Winner Kislev.
Finally I bought the set of rules from Magister Millitum focus in Napoleonics conflicts. The book has a very pleasant editing and finishing. The mechanics have a lot flavour of te era and reminds me in some aspects to warmaster.
It is a set of rules for 10mm, battle scale that promise to work for the Napoleonic wars.
The other day I went to a market and my wife bought me this model. It is intended to be inside an acquarium. It is ensambled and pre painted, very cheap around 4.95 euros. The scale is more 6mm, but I will use it as the Wizard tower.
I had acquire a convention book about Chaosium called Ye book of tentacles IV. I tis a special scenario one. I am not roleplaying since years ago, but I like to read about Glorantha. This book have scenarios for Heroquest, Call of Cthulhu, Eternal Champio and Pendragon.
This is the start of an urbanistic proyect. The idea is build some structures to have some test of Dropzone commander. It also allow to have some 10mm skirmish games.
The first building is a Tank Container. It is a tiny structure, but could have some special rule as if it is destroyed could explode the fuel causing damage to an area. If the building has an objective and is destroyed there is a 50% of the objective destroyed or if a person die.
For Mad max game is a great objective itself.
The model is scale N form Faller, easy to assambly.
The second building is The Bank. Very useful for skirmish games of robbers and so on. It is a medium structure.
It is also fom Faller and was not very complicated to build, but I had to say that the floor were constructed one above each other so every little desalignment in the first floor is notice in the third! My execution of the model is not perfect, but fair enough for wargaming.
A great objective could the gold in the vault or even art or coorporation data safty guard inside.

As human fossil fuel emissions force the world to warm, moisture and precipitation levels are changing. Wet areas become wetter. Dry areas become drier. Spring and Summer temperatures increase. And earlier spring snow-melt causes soils to remain drier for longer periods, increasing incidents of drought while lengthening the wildfire season. These hot, dry conditions also increase the likelihood that, once wildfires are started by lightning strikes or human error, they will become more intense, larger and long-burning (paraphrase of this Union of Concerned Scientists Report).
An extreme heatwave and drought in East Asia is now sparking extraordinarily large wildfires in mostly unsettled regions of Northeast China near the Russian border. The massive fires are plainly visible in the LANCE-MODIS satellite shot and include at least four contiguous fire zones. The fires each show very large burn scars with fire-fronts ranging from 10 to 40 miles across. In essence, what this satellite shot is showing are 3-4 Rhode Island size infernos.
(Enormous wildfires burning in Northeast China on May 10th. For reference, bottom edge of frame is 600 miles. Image source: LANCE MODIS.)
A very large smoke plume cast off from these blazes is now visible in the MODIS satellite shot. It stretches away from the massive burn scars and on out into the Sea of Japan nearly 1,000 miles away. By comparison, the Northeastern China fires together now dwarf the recent massive blaze that burned 2,400 structures in the Canadian town of Fort McMurray over the past week. Yet another instance of extraordinarily large fires burning in a world forced to warm by human fossil fuel emissions.
Thankfully, the Northeast China fires aren't currently raging near any large settlements. So it is less likely that loss of life or property has occurred as a result. International news media has no reports on the blazes, so little information is now available other than what can be discerned by NASA satellite map analysis.
In context, these fires ignited along a ridge zone that has featured extremely warm and dry temperatures. Rising off a heatwave that began in Southeast Asia, these warm airs are now expanding northward toward the Arctic and will, over the current week, contribute to an amazingly potent heatwave building over the rapidly thawing regions of our world. Ridge development in this zone has been quite persistent and we can expect continued large fires creeping north toward the Arctic.
(Wildfires — indicated by red spots in the above map — are lighting off around the discontinuous permafrost zone near Lake Baikal. During recent years, this region of Russia has suffered from the kind of extreme drought and warming associated with human-caused climate change. Image source: LANCE MODIS.)
This extremely hot and dry zone has also lit off numerous fires in the Lake Baikal region. Representing the furthest southern extent of the Northeast Asian permafrost zone, heat and thaw in the region due to global warming have resulted in increasing fire hazards. As with Northwest Canada, an unholy relationship exists between fires and thawing permafrost. The permafrost as it thaws and dries provides an understory fuel that aids in fire persistence and intensity — sometimes resulting in hotspots that smolder throughout the winter. And the fires can activate more and more of the permafrost layer below — pumping out additional carbon which can worsen the warming trend which ignited the fires in the first place.
For 2016, warm, dry ridge zones have tended to dominate both Western North America and Eastern Asia. And in a world that since the start of 2016 has been nearly 1.5 C above 1880s averages, we have seen a very intense early start to fire season featuring numerous very large fires in these zones. As May progresses into June, risks for even more intense fires increase even as the fire zone advances with the warm airs heading north toward the Arctic.

After a couple of years of having a saved eBay Search for a "bronze cam cleat", a suitable one appeared for $40. I am delighted but I get blank stares at work when I explain that I got a Wilcox Crittenden bronze cam cleat to replace a horrible modern plastic one that works perfectly .... and it's probably 50 years old. The only comment was that the bronze cam cleat was clearly younger than me.
Here's what I installed originally and tried to disguise:
and the new, older more suitable Bronze cam cleat:
Now if I can just make the brass screws go green.
Does anybody have an idea on the age of this Wilcox Crittenden cam cleat.

The stamps by "October Afternoon" are solid...so it's a bit of a challenge to give them vibrant color. Instead of using an inkpad...I stamped in Versamark and colored with Chalk. Heavy Chalking can give the stamp a full, velvet depth that doesn't really translate on this picture.
I'm eagerly awaiting my finished website so that I don't have to use my blog to post class pictures! Sorry about that...it will have to do for now!

I stumbled across TAKARA's Train and Scene Display gashapon toys yesterday at a local toy shop. Sadly, they only had the one available for purchase.
For those not familiar with gashapon toys - they are little toys that are usually in small boxes that you can not see into. They show you all the items in the series and you buy blind, wondering which one you've received in the box. Fun if not a little bit frustrating as well. hehehe Many store have taken to actually opening the box, circling what's inside and charging more for each. Well worth it as far as I'm concerned. I've spent a lot of money on some of these sets while trying to get specific pieces...which...to be fair...is the point! :)
Interesting side note: Each item comes with a small piece of gum. Evidently, THAT is what you are purchasing, not the toy. Something to do with taxes, etc. It's a work around that I find to be rather cute. "No no...it's not a TOY. It's gum. You're paying $4 for a small, bland piece of gum." :)
ANYWAY...these are cool sets. There are five pieces in this particular one and I'm rather happy with what I got, though I would have loved to get the little mountain bridge scene.
Another reason I love Japanese items - they have a sense of fun that I just don't see a lot of here, though many American companies try. hehehe

The UW-La Crosse Student Association withdrew its case against The Second Supper on Tuesday, April 18. After looking into the legalities of the situation, the Student Association decided not to pursue charges that would have dramatically limited The Second Supper's on campus distribution.
The ordeal started when The Second Supper printed an article that offended people of the UW-L community. The article that caused the controversy was "Cheney Kills Five Crips in Inner-City Hunting Accident" which used the "n" word. However, this was not just a campus issue. The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE), also stepped in and sent a letter to Chancellor Hastad.
The letter stated, "The principle of freedom of speech does not exist to protect only non-controversial speech; indeed, it exists precisely to protect speech that some members of a community may find controversial or 'offensive'." FIRE went on to say, "No campus that claims to take seriously the free speech rights of students may retaliate against a student publication because some students were offended by fully protected speech."
Even though the paper is now going to be back in full circulation, some people are not happy with the decision. "I feel The Second Supper is a horrible representation of the student organizational power of UW-L," stated Marques Bland from Black Student Unity (BSU). Bland also said, "Being a student of color, the fact that UW-L made absolutely no stance against hate speech truly shows me and other students of color how the university really does not value diversity even though it routinely states that it does."
Chris Previte, a UW-L student, did not feel the same way. "I am glad that The Second Supper is staying in circulation on campus, at least those who are interested in reading it will be given the chance to. It's not like people are forced to pick it up."
Joe Gullo, editor in chief of The Second Supper and the UW-L Student Association could not be reached at the time of publication.

An account of daily life in Alcalá de Los Gazules, a small town
in the Province of Cádiz in the bottom left-hand corner of Spain.
14 July 2012
A Postcard from Spain
Greetings from Sunny Spain! In fact it's so sunny and hot we can't go out in the daytime, so we've been staying in and watching TV. There's so much going on! Some coal-miners from Up North have walked all the way to Madrid to complain that the government has kept some money from the EU which was meant protect their livelihoods, and spent it on something else. How daft is that! But they are making themselves useful by helping burn the rubbish in the streets, entertaining the crowds with fireworks, and giving the police some target practice for their rubber bullets. (PS did you know rubber bullets are nearly as big as cricket balls?! I thought they were little tiddly things that just bounced off, but apparently they can do you a lot of damage!)
The police will need lots of practice, because all the unions are coming out to demonstrate about tax increases, schools and hospitals closing, pay cuts etc etc. The public sector workers are cross because they won't be getting their extra month's pay at Christmas any more, apparently the banks need the money or something. So they'll just have to max out their credit cards to do their Christmas shopping, like everyone else! That will help the banks too!
And the pensioners aren't too happy because they've got to start paying for their prescriptions. Well, you know what old folks are like, always moaning on about something or other! They'll just have to take better care of themselves and not get ill!
The media here are pretty crap really, they keep getting things wrong. For example two weeks ago they reported the President as saying that the €100 billion bailout for those poor Spanish banks wouldn't have any strings attached, but what he really meant was that there would! €62 billion more austerity measures! Do they really think you get something for nothing? They also claimed he said VAT wouldn't go up, but they got that wrong too because it's going up 3%, and he wouldn't lie about something as important as that, would he? They really should pay more attention, I'm sure if they asked him a straight question he'd give them a straight answer.
He seems such a nice man, this Mr Rajoy. At least, his government thinks so because they cheered like mad when he announced a big cut in unemployment benefit! Quite right, they should get off their backsides and do some work (the unemployed I mean, not the politicians!!! LOL!!!!!).
One lady MP shouted "Que se jodan" which means something like "Let them fuck themselves". The newspapers kindly printed her email address so readers could send her a message of support. (It's firstname.lastname@example.com, if you want to drop her a line.) Apparently her dad, Carlos Fabra, is a famous criminal from Valencia, although he's obviously very clever because they haven't managed to lock him up yet. It's nice to know the county is in good hands, not like poor old England!

Prince George a 'rascal', says new dad Prince William
London: Mum and dad are sitting in the garden, dad with one arm around mum, one arm around the (slightly jealous) dog, and mum holding the couple's newborn son.
It could be any family portrait, except young George is third in line to the throne, and dad's second.
The young royals have continued their break with tradition, with the first official portrait of the new heir taken by a family member and looking almost like they were done on Instagram.
In fact they were taken by Prince George's grandfather, Michael Middleton, early this month in the garden of the Middletons' family home in Bucklebury, west of London.
Kensington Palace released the photos on Monday night under a strict embargo which was, naturally, immediately broken by various online sources who had nothing to lose.
There were two: one of the Duchess of Cambridge, the Duke, and baby, and another adding a retriever called Tilly (a Middleton family pet) and the couple's cocker spaniel Lupo.
Prince William has given his first interview since becoming a father, telling CNN his son was "a little bit of a rascal".
"He either reminds me of my brother or me when I was younger, I'm not sure, but he's doing very well at the moment."
In the interview, an excerpt from a longer documentary to be released later this year, he also revealed the young prince "doesn't want to go to sleep that much, which is a little bit of a problem."
"At the moment the only legacy I want to pass on to him is to sleep more and maybe not have to change his nappy so many times."
He said Kate was taking more of the nighttime duties than he was – but he was still looking forward to going back to work (at a search and rescue unit in Wales) where he hoped to get some sleep.
The informal nature of the pictures has caused some to comment on the modernisation of the royals. William said it was not a publicity ploy, just an example of how he and his wife wanted to live their lives.
"We've all grown up differently to other generations. And I very much feel if I can do it myself, I want to do it myself."
"I'm reasonably headstrong about what I believe in," he said.
"Where I can be, I am as independent as I want to be. And same as Catherine and Harry.
"We've all grown up differently to other generations. And I very much feel if I can do it myself, I want to do it myself. And there are times where you can't do it yourself and the system takes over or it's appropriate to do things differently."
He said Kate was doing a "fantastic job" and he felt fatherhood had already changed him.
"The last few weeks for me have been just a very different emotional experience," he said. "Something I never thought I would feel myself ... a lot of things affect me differently now."

* Drying Process: Freeze Drying (FD)
* Place of Origin: China
* Parameter: Moisture≤5%; Purity: 100%
* Shape: Dices/Slices/Ring/Powder…
* Shelf Life: 24 months
* Material: Fresh Green Apple/Fuji Apple
* Packaging: PE bag + carton or according clients' requirements
* MOQ: 500kgs
* Features of Freeze Dried Apple
---crispy, low calorie, zerofat.
---not fried, not puffed, no artificial coloring, no preservatives or other additives
---no gluten

---retain perfectly the nutrition facts of fresh fruits.
* Nutrition of Freeze Dried Apple
A typical apple serving weighs 242 grams and provides 126 calories with a moderate content of dietary fiber. Otherwise, there is generally low content of essential nutrients.
* How Freeze Drying Works with Fruit:
1) The freshly picked fruit is washed and slices and then frozen.
2) Nearly all of the food's moisture is drawn off by evaporating the water particles at extremely
low temperatures.
3) The freeze-dried fruit slices are then sealed in airtight packaging ensuring that they don't
come into contact with moisture or oxygen.
4) Which means that when you open a packet of freeze dried fruit, they are still 100% fresh,
crisp and completely delicous.

I love scouring the grocery store for ingredients I don't normally buy. This recipe requires some Gruyere cheese that doesn't normally get thrown into my shopping cart. The cheap blue boxes of mac and cheese get a little more rotation these days.
This was a bit of work, but anything with that much whisking turns out yummy. I love how this is listed as an "Intermediate" recipe on foodnetwork.com. Even I was a little overwhelmed with the amount of dishes and work this took. I didn't use macaroni, because I have a TON of thin spaghetti holding court in my cabinet. I broke it down into smaller pieces, so it changed the consistency from regular macaroni, but I could not justify buying more pasta when I have half a cabinet-full.
The verdict?
I made this as part of a Father's Day gift, and it was worth all the extra whisking, time, and money for the "fancy" cheese. My husband loved it and devoured the whole pan over the weekend. My favorite part was the tomatoes complimenting the cheese.
I am also sharing this at Food Network Chefs Cooking Challenge.
Mac and Cheese from Ina Garten
Kosher salt
Vegetable oil
1 pound elbow macaroni or cavatappi
1 quart milk
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, divided
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
12 ounces Gruyere, grated (4 cups)
8 ounces extra-sharp Cheddar, grated (2 cups)
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
3/4 pound fresh tomatoes (4 small)
1 1/2 cups fresh white bread crumbs (5 slices, crusts removed)
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Drizzle oil into a large pot of boiling salted water. Add the macaroni and cook according to the directions on the package, 6 to 8 minutes. Drain well.
Meanwhile, heat the milk in a small saucepan, but don't boil it. Melt 6 tablespoons of butter in a large (4-quart) pot and add the flour. Cook over low heat for 2 minutes, stirring with a whisk. While whisking, add the hot milk and cook for a minute or two more, until thickened and smooth. Off the heat, add the Gruyere, Cheddar, 1 tablespoon salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Add the cooked macaroni and stir well. Pour into a 3-quart baking dish.
Slice the tomatoes and arrange on top. Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, combine them with the fresh bread crumbs, and sprinkle on the top. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly and the macaroni is browned on the top.

I made this for my husband well over a year ago and he still talks about it. Great choice!ReplyDelete
I love mac and cheese. I recently made one from The Pioneer Woman that used gruyere (and two other cheesees) along with carmelized onions and bacon. Too good. I love that you posted a old post from Ina. THanks for participating in FNCCC. Check out the upcoming list of chefs to see if you already make anything from them.ReplyDelete
I watched the episode when she made this and you did a great job of it! Looks so yummy!ReplyDelete
Every time I try to make homemade mac & cheese it's a horrible disaster, but this looks good enough that I might be willing to give it a go *L*ReplyDelete

Once, he made a bet with her that he could measure the weight of smoke. You mean, weigh smoke? Exactly. Weigh smoke. You can't do that. It's like weighing air. I admit it's strange. Almost like weighing someone's soul. But Sir Walter was a clever guy. First, he took an unsmoked cigar and put it on a balance and weighed it. Then he lit up and smoked the cigar, carefully tapping the ashes into the balance pan. When he was finished, he put the butt into the pan along with the ashes and weighed what was there. Then he subtracted that number from the original weight of the unsmoked cigar. The difference was the weight of the smoke.

The arts of Southeast Asia have no affinity with the arts of other areas. Dance in much of Southeast Asia also includes movement of the hands, as well as the feet to express the emotion and meaning of dance upon the story that the ballerina going to tell the audience. Most of Southeast Asian confirmed the Dance into their court, according to Cambodian royal ballet represent them in earlier of 7th century before Khmer Empire which highly influenced by Indian Hinduism. Apsara Dance, famous for strongly hand and feet movement, is a great example of Hindism symbol dance. Puppetry and shadow plays were also a favoured form of entertainment in past centuries as the famous one known as Wayang from Indonesia. The arts and literature in some of Southeast Asia is quite influenced by Hinduism brought to them centuries ago. The Tai, coming late into Southeast Asia, brought with them some Chinese artistic traditions, but they soon shed them in favour of the Khmer and Mon traditions, and the only indications of their earlier contact with Chinese arts were in the style of their temples, especially the tapering roof, and in their lacquerware. In Indonesia, despite conversion to Islam opposed to certain forms of art, has retained many forms of Hindu influenced practices, cultures, arts and literatures. An example will be the *Wayang Kulit (Shadow Puppet) and literatures like the Ramayana. This is also true for mainland Southeast Asia (excluding Vietnam). Dance movements, Hindu gods, arts were also fused into Thai, Khmer, Lao and Burmese cultures. It has been pointed out that Khmer and Indonesian classical arts were concerned with depicting the life of the gods, but to the Southeast Asian mind the life of the gods was the life of the peoples themselves. Celebrating the cultural icons of this region, we have dedicated this gallery to the South East Asian Region as a whole

"So, Gambon, is it true you havent read the books? Really? REALLY? REALLY REALLY? How can you play your big scene in book 6 without having read book 7 and knowing the reasons behind Dumbledore's actions? Are u serious?" Gambon responded by acting spazzy, sweaty, and generally disheveled.

Was this shot after Fiennes was finished so the makeup has been removed? If so, then why is he in costume, with his wand?
 Was this at the beginning of the day, with Fiennes having just left the costume truck and walking towards the makeup truck when he ran into Gambon? Seems odd for Gambon to be in full costume if Fiennes hasn't even been to the makeup truck yet.
 I'm kinda confused here.

They CGI off Ralph Fiennes's nose and replace it with the snake nose. From what I can recall from some of the behind the scenes featurettes, Ralph thought that it would be too difficult to talk/act/emote with his nose smushed and covered in makeup. That's why there are FX reference dots on his head in the photo.

But that's just tasteless, so I don't do a lot of name dropping (just those three). I could tell you about Chuck Heston, Ringo Starr, Tom Petty (and the list goes on for a long time)......but then what would I write about in my autobiography (for my son to read when I am gone)???

I fully believe that "Order" is a better film than a book, it was a flabby book and the movie cut it down to the essentials of Harry vs. Umbridge. And that speech / bit where Harry is possessed by Voldy is over too quickly and doesn't make much sense in the novel, in the book that whole speech is just gold. One of my favourite moments in the series, and it isn't even from the novel but it plays so much better on screen.

Dave's College Basketball Picks, Feb.28: Wichita State at Southern IllinoisFebruary 28, 2009
Wichita State (15-14, 8-9) at Southern Illinois (12-17, 7-10)
Line: Southern Illinois -3
Wichita State defeated Indiana State 76-70 on Tuesday for their 4th win in their last 5 games. J.T. Durley led the way for the Shockers with 16 points and 6 boards. It was way back on January 7th when Wichita State last played Southern Illinois, losing 62-74. Tied for 5thplace with Evansville in the Missouri Valley Conference, the Shockers have come far from their 0-5 start to the conference schedule.
Southern Illinois defeated Drake 56-55 on Wednesday to bring the Salukis tied with the Bulldogs for 7th place in the conference. While this is not the successful season Southern Illinois has been used to recently, they do have three other teams within a game above them in the standings.

Singles by acts such as Robbie Williams, Kylie Minogue and Norah Jones could be available to buy online before they are released in shops under a deal announced yesterday.
Music giant EMI is making 140,000 tracks from its huge catalogue of performers available to download - the biggest commitment yet by a European record label.
And the company says its plans will allow fans to buy new tracks when singles are made available to radio stations.
That is usually many weeks earlier than tracks are officially released to retailers.
Deals have been set up with companies such as HMV, Freeserve, Blueyonder and Dotmusic to buy EMI's music.
Back catalogue items from artists such as Dean Martin, Sir Cliff Richard, Pink Floyd and Frank Sinatra will also be included under the initiative.
It will allow consumers to turn the music they have bought on to recordable CDs or store it on portable players.
EMI chairman Tony Wadsworth said: "This is a significant initiative because it brings many new features to the online offering."

Who will survive and what will be left of them? This was a tag line from the classic 1974 slasher film Texas Chainsaw Massacre. It is responsible for introducing several popular elements in the slasher genre such as using power tools as weapons and making the killer a large, faceless figure. That's right, if you like Jason Voorhees or Michael Myers – you can thank Leatherface for giving them inspiration.
To become the infamous Leatherface, check out this selection of Chainsaw Massacre costumes. They feature the typical butcher's apron style and become even more convincing when you add a Leatherface mask. Then hold a chainsaw accessory high above your head and get ready for a night of fright!
