Made with 1 over 1 stitches, unless noted. Here's the back:
You will need: green, yellow, and brown yarn (I used Red Heart Paddy Green, yellow, and Homespun Wild Fire), spool loom, pink loom, a dowel or a sturdy drinking straw (like from Wendy's or McDonalds), batting.
For the flower head: On the flower loom I did a drawstring cast on with the Homespun wildfire yarn and knit off 7 rows. Cinch the drawstring closed, then knit off 5 more rows and sew off. Pull the working yarn tail to cinch the opening closed. Pull working yarn through center hole to the other side and knot. Repeat for the tail on the other side. Then poke your yarn needle (threaded with the working yarn tail) inside the flower head and out through the edge of the flower head. With your scissors, snip the tail close to the edge of the flower head. Repeat this for the tail on the other side.
Sunflower petals: On the pink loom using the yellow yarn, I created 3 peg I-cords with a 1 over 2 stitch. I used the standard I-cord cast on, then I e-wrapped and knit off 16 rows. After row 16 the pulled one loop of yarn from peg 1 and put it onto peg 2 and knit off. Then I pulled one loop of yarn from peg 3 and put it onto peg 2 and knit off. I continued until all the loops from pegs 1 and 3 were on peg 2 and knitted off. Then I sewed off the yarn from peg 2 leaving a 5 inch tail, knotted it and wove it back down through the petal to the base of the petal. Repeat 14 more times. Use the petal tails to attach the petals to the edge of the flower head. Use more yellow yarn to attach the petals to each other, side by side, about halfway up the side of the petal. I purposefully did not make the petals all exactly the same.
For the stem cup (the part that attaches the flower head to the stem): With the green yarn I did a drawstring cast on, using the 8 peg end of the spool loom. Cast on 1 over 1, then knit off 18 rows using 1 over 2 stitch. Cinch the drawstring but not tightly, leaving a 1 inch opening.Stuff the stem cup with a little batting. Let the batting "puff out" of the top of the stem cup a little bit; when you attach it to the back of the flower head it will puff the flower head out nicely. Line up the edge of the top of the stem cup to the back of the top of the flower head (you decide what the top of the flower and stem cup should be) and sew it on with green yarn. Take care that you don't accidentally sew through the flower petals and the green yarn is seen on the front of the flower!
For the stem: Using the 5 peg end of the spool loom, I cast on with green yarn (1 over 2 stitch)and knit off 30 rows. Insert your straw or dowel through the center of the stem. Knit off 25 more rows or to the length desired and bind off. If needed, clip the top of the straw with your scissors so it is level with the top of your stem. Next insert the stem just inside the stem cup and sew the stem cup to the stem, allowing it to "flop over" slightly, like a real sunflower would. But take care not to let it flop too much or it won't stand up. Once your stem cup is attached to your stem, you should be able to position your sunflower head up or down, depending on how much of the straw you push through the stem into the stem cup.
Simply purchase a small flowerpot from your local craft store. To jazz it up a bit, I added a few stripes made of fuzzy green contact paper. This particlular flowerpot has moss and styrofoam underneath the moss. I measured the circumference of the stem and dug a hole into the flowerpot styrofoam to the desired dwpth. Put glue into the hole and gently squeeze our sunflower stem through the hole. Set it aside to dry. And you're done!

View attachment 5488
Its pretty and bright, and perfect for spring. I do like it.
I love the pattern. It's nice to see a bag that pops for the spring. Very nice choice.
not a fan
What a fun bag!
I like kate spade but it's just okay for me.
It's cute - but not for me.
Good for summer!
Very bright! I've seen it in canvas (solid color)....seems like a really nice tote.
I love the shape, and the red and pink "petals" remind me of tulips! Very nice for spring. :o)
I agree. I'm not much for patterns and I don't like pink.
Not a fan, but Kate Spade is sooo durable@!
It's to busy for me

Amjad Ali Khan, sons emphasise on children's education
Sarod maestro Amjad Ali Khan and his sons Amaan Ali Bangash and Ayaan Ali Bangash have tied up with the RP Sanjiv Goenka Group music label Saregama for Children's Day celebrations on November 14. It is for the empowerment of young minds.
The video, produced by Saregama India Ltd, was shot in Purana Qila here. It will be launched on Children's Day with an instrumental reinterpretation of the iconic children's song 'Hum honge kamyab'. The video will feature the three musicians fusing sarod with the iconic song.
"Through this video, we want to highlight the importance of education for children as they are this country's hope for a bright future," said Vikram Mehra, Managing Director of Saregama, in a statement.
Amjad Ali Khan believes that music is a precious gift of God.
"Like flowers, colour, fragrance, water, fire, and air, musical notes do not belong to any religion. India is like a beautiful bouquet of flowers with so many colours around. We have various kinds of religions, traditions and systems. It is so diverse," he said.
"We must always realise that in spite of many religions and castes, we all depend on each other. The realisation of dependence is our greatest strength and power. The whole world admires India because of its diversity and unity. Let's think about the future of our children so that they live in a better world," he added.
Amaan said the song emphasises on all of us working together to recreate, and be soulfully motivated, by his enthralling symphony of truth, love, non-violence and peace.
"Seeing the very sad situation of the world, our mission statement regarding the project is the fundamental contribution which Mahatma Gandhi made, and which we greatly admire, is to give primacy to truth and reason rather than conformity to traditional religious practices," said Ayaan.
"Gandhi's enlightened patriotism and nationalism are what the world greatly need today to recall, and wholeheartedly adopt, if they are to rid themselves of the evils of communal massacres and terrorism of various brands which plague them in various parts at present. We all need to make our respective contributions to this. We shall overcome," he added.

Urged by Town Manager Brian Bullock to keep their options open, a majority of the Holden Select Board voted Monday night to try to get an assessment of the condition of a much discussed sewer line that Bullock said is vital.
"This line is critical to the future of the town," Bullock told the board.
The sewer line is used by Rutland, Holden, West Boylston and Anna Maria College in Paxton, is owned by the state Department of Conservation and Recreation, and administered by the Massachusetts Water Resources Authority. It transports sewage to the Blackstone Valley Waste Water Treatment Facility in Worcester.
Most of the entities using the line have been granted a certain usage capacity, which Holden is rapidly approaching. Holden Department of Public Works Director Larry Galkowski, in a recent update to the select board, said the town only had capacity for about 250 more homes. State regulations do not allow towns to limit or reserve capacity for their own or developers' future projects.
Rutland has been advised by DCR to stop granting additional capacity.
Additional charges for maintenance of the line have induced sticker shock in towns that receive yearly bills from DCR. Bullock said he believes there have been costs for many years that have not been passed on.
The towns that use the line have been meeting to decide a strategy for dealing with the limits on capacity and the pressure from DCR to consider purchasing the line, parts of which date back to the 1930s.
Bullock asked the board to consider the town's future, when considering whether to investigate purchasing the line.
"I'm not advocating purchasing the line," Bullock said. "I am advocating you keep your powder dry and consider all your options."
The age and condition of the pipes concern select board members.
"What really is the long-term health of this line?" Selectman David White said.
The board voted to try to get a study done to assess the line's condition. Bullock said in an interview Tuesday that who pays for the study will probably become the sticking point.
The discussion came late in the meeting, after an earlier update from Holden's state Rep. Lew Evangelidis (R-Holden) on funding efforts for improvements to the line in Worcester.
Discussion about granting towns additional capacity has consistently centered around sewer improvements needed at three sites in the city of Worcester. Until those improvements are made, no additional capacity will be considered, the state has said.
Evangelidis said he and other area legislators have been meeting to push for continued funding for those improvements, but he cautioned against too much optimism.
"There is no guaranty that if the Worcester line gets clear, all this capacity's going to open up," Evangelidis said.

Cafe Krifi
Victoria Gardens Shopping Centre
620 Victoria Street
Ph: 03 9421 6006
Dining in a food court is not something that I find very appealing, but if you work at Vic Gardens or want a bite before you see a movie at Hoyts, Cafe Krifi is probably your best option. It's one of a few sit down eateries in the shopping centre but is the most "restaurant-like", with a large open dining room and a spacious outdoor area.
The menu is long, serving breakfast, lunch and dinner and everything in between, with gluten free and vegetarian options. There's pizza, cakes, burgers, salads, and today we came to try out the breakfast menu.
Krifi Big Breakfast ($14.20)
Good crispy hash browns and bacon, and smokey sauteed mushrooms; the bland scrambled eggs, however, were a let down; quite flavourless and boring in texture.
Eggs Florentine with salmon ($16.50)
Krifi's version of this dish was generous in size and much more filling and satisfying than I thought it would be, and came with a thick stack of fresh salmon and good, rich hollandaise.
Krifi does a great cup of coffee too and Bf enjoyed his huge milkshake. Keep walking past the bain maries and long queues for greasy burgers and chips; the big windows, moody red lights and young, friendly (and good looking) service provides a brief escape from the hordes of Ikea shoppers and gym junkies that dominate the centre.
Cafe Krifi features in the Melbourne Entertainment Book.

Hello crafty friends!
Happy Friday!
today I want to share with you a clean and simple smile balloons card!
This week CASology theme is laugh so I made this card.
When I saw Hannelie's card, the smile inspired me.
So I had an idea about smile icon.
When I do instagram, sometimes the icons makes me laugh.
I stamped the balloon image on the watercolor paper using Distress ink and Luminous spring stamp set from Paper Smooches, colored the stamped paper with distress marker using water brush. Stamped the smile images using Love you latte stamp set from Lawn Fawn and brushed a wink of stella and added glossy accents. Stamped the sentiment using Everyday Labels stamp set from Neat and Tangled and ink from Mama elephant.
Does this yellow balloons look like smile icons?
This card is too simple but I hope you enjoy seeing my card.
I am entering this card in the following challenges ;
Thank you for stopping by and have a wonderful day!
God bless you!

Basically here is the link: http://citadel.rol.im/wolf3d_tc.rar . It's a Wolf3D total conversion I started but never finished years ago. Any version of this that I compiled prior to adding BrotherTank's light shading code, works fine in PCem and any other thing. Any version compiled after adding said code, behaves as such:
- Real hardware: Works perfectly;
- DOSBox: Black screens for unknown reasons;
- PCem (mainline) of some months ago: worked as long as mouse was PS/2, BLASTER= was absent, and EMM386 was not loaded, otherwise black screen as it would stall for some reason;
- PCem (mainlin) latest repo code: doesn't work at all, always black screens, and on the recompiler it even issues instruction FF 38 (which is part of the data segment of the executable, and not code!) and resultingly issues an illegal instruction exception (no illegal instruction exception, but who knows what happens there);
- Virtual PC 2007: Black screens for unknown reasons if hardware virtualization is turned off, but works perfectly when it's turned on.
I haven't tried it on Bochs, MAME, VMWare, or VirtualBox, so I wouldn't know.
The recompiler part of the problem is possible the same problem causing leilei's Windows ME woes: viewtopic.php?p=3602#p3602 . But the other half of the problem, I have no idea why it happens.
Edit: And I also have another unfinished Wolf3D total conversion of mine that behaves the same way (versions without the shading patch work, versions with it black screen), so I suspect any total conversion using the shading patch, and there's quite a few of them out there on the Internet, will have the same problem.
Edit #2: Before the illegal instruction, this appears in the log: Bad getpccache 000A443A .
Edit #3: I forgot to say, the black screen occurs after loading the level... the loading "Get psyched" screen appears fine, but then it black screens.
[Bug] Wolf3D total conversion black screens

A strange game this on Tuesday evening. An handy enough win but the topsy turvey nature of the second half does not appear in the scoreline. We were well in control in the first half with Matthew Cullen and Stevie Curley winning a lot of ball. At the half time break we lead 0-9 v 0-2.
In the second half we extended the lead to 11 points midway during the half with James Flynn playing well after being introduced. However we missed a number of goal chances were missed. The visitors then came up the field and a mistake from our keeper let them start to believe. This was followed quickly by a second goal and a few quickfire points to narrow the score to 1 point.
However a superb 45 from Kevin McDonnell and a goal from Eoin Flynn meant we established our superiority and won easily in the end. Management and players will wonder though what happened in the middle of the second half though.
Team: Arthur Beardshal, Conor Judge, Keith Earlis, Jason Earlis, Eoin Kent, Conor Gallagher, Ciaran Kilcullen, Kevin McDonnell, Shane Wright, Eoin Flynn, Cian Barrins, Matthew Cullen Subs: James Flynn, Liam Naughton

If you are looking for free font websites, this post is for you. All great designers know that using the wrong font can have a huge impact on the direction of the project. That is the reason why we use Cambria instead of Helvetica and why we should refrain from using those dreadful scripts that seem to be understood only by their creators.
The challenge of course is in choosing the right font for a certain project. If you select a font that is too rounded, there might be the risk of making everything look too youthful or childish. If you select something that is too bold, you may take away the cheer out of a design. Honestly, picking the right font is one of the hardest jobs for both professionals and amateurs.
There are plenty of free font websites out there that can provide some great options. However, many of them just suck. They feature fonts that are too cheesy and overused but have no fear. Today, we have decided to show you a list of more than 30 free font websites where really great fonts are hiding. If you do some browsing, you will surely discover something awesome.
So jump right into the list and tell us what you think of this post through the comments. You may also share this post with friends, if you think they will benefit from free font websites.

1st attempt in making a girl's dress
My sister has been pestering me to sew for my darling niece dresses. I have not mastered the art of cutting patterns and sewing clothes but when Mei Lin sent me this link I was so intrigued to try.Haven't had time to try on the girl herself but we will see on Saturday f it fits. I added some felt flower to make it a wee bit special. Still needs improvement but I am happy with my first attempt
The tutorial came from Make Baby Stuff .com. A cool site with so many free tutorials and patterns.

Handphone pouches
I was practising sewing zippers on bags and came up with a few handphone pouches. And I googled the art of making yo-yo and thus came the embellishments. Discovered I can make cute flowers, ladybugs and butterflies and with those decorating the bags I sold a few to my friends.
Note: I am making more as I have more orders

The Jungle Look
This is two coats of Ulta The Jungle Look with a few coats of Milani Gems on the accent nail. The formula of The Jungle Look was pretty damn good if you ask me!
Let me just give you all a little update about why my posts have been appearing shorter and less frequent these past 2 to 3 weeks. I go to school full time and I recently started working again part time at a new job. This means I am usually pretty busy during the week now. I always plan to write up a few scheduled posts on the weekends but I do not really get the time to because it seems like every weekend I am dividing up my time between family, boyfriend and friends.
So if you all notice me slacking a bit, don't be alarmed and I hope you all don't stop visiting my blog!

I love itttttttt.ReplyDelete
Beautiful! I love the Milani Jewel FX *swoon*ReplyDelete
The accent nail looks great! I wouldn't have guessed that was Milani Gems, not sure why.ReplyDelete
I can barely manage to just work and keep up with my online pursuits, so I can only imagine how busy you are. I'll happily read whenever you can post.
I love this look! I love rocking one accent nail in my manicure. Too cute!ReplyDelete

Men About Town
Ready Chicago? Here we come.
Chinatown is gaining momentum. Throughout the month of October, we're making sure to get the word out. Haven't seen our Kickstarter campaign yet? Click here to check it out. So far, the internet response to our campaign has been phenomenal. We were selected as a Staff Pick from Kickstarter, we've had friends and fans post and retweet the link, and just this morning we were featured as the Kickstarter of the week in Tales from the Watercooler by Decapitated Dan. All this publicity has been great, but a successful fundraising campaign cannot rely on web presence alone. We'll also be appearing to talk about our book in person in a few venues here in Chicago.
Next week, on Oct 17, we'll be joining Brent House for dinner and a discussion of the spiritual themes in our book. The talk is entitled Do You Want to See the Devil? Theological Motifs in Chinatown. Wesley, who has a background in philosophy and religion, will be leading the discussion. While Chinatown is not a philosophical treatise or theological paper, it does raise intriguing questions about nihilism, the human struggle against cultural change, the importance of symbol and ritual, and the so-called problem of evil. The meal at Brent House starts at 6pm, with the discussion to follow after supper.
The week after that, on Oct 24, we'll be giving a presentation called Chinatown: Subtext in Graphic Storytelling at the University of Chicago Divinity School as part of the Fall Wednesday Lunch series. These noontime lunches always feature a fine vegetarian meal and guest speakers invited from the University, the local community, or beyond. Lunch topics have addressed everything from the parakeets of Hyde Park to the world of male modeling to language loss in Siberia. These programs provide a unique opportunity for students, staff, and faculty to engage one another in informal conversation—and now it's our turn to let the University community know about Chinatown.
For this talk, we'll be focusing on the mechanics of comics—how they work, what special advantages and challenges come from graphic novel storytelling, and how we chose to implement these devices in our own art. In particular, we're focusing on the strengths of graphic narratives in communicating subtext to the reader, without relying on explicit dialogue or overly obvious plot points. Wednesday Lunch is open to the community and the meal begins at 12pm and costs 5 bucks to get in. To reserve your seat, you'll need to RSVP to firstname.lastname@example.com and we're expecting a full house so register early! The food is always delicious, includes drinks, appetizers, and dessert—and is cooked in-house by grad students.
Not every appearance we're making this month is just to push the book. We love comics and talking comics—and on October 28 it's time once again for our local graphic novel book club! And in the month of October, what better to read than The Long Halloween? Now a classic of comic book literature, The Long Halloween is set during the Batman's early career. The Dark Knight must work together with Jim Gordon and Harvey Dent to catch the Holiday Killer. Fleshing out Batman's colorful rogues gallery—and revealing the creation of Two Face—this murder mystery thriller features spectacular artwork by Tim Sale and excellent writing from Jeph Loeb.
The book club—which we call "Doctor's Consultations"—are held at our favorite comic book shop, First Aid Comics. The regulars at our consultations are a mix of longtime comic fans, newcomers to the medium, and fellow comic book creators. Wherever we're coming from, we all share together a critical eye, a friendly attitude, and a love for comic books. Folks start arriving at 5pm and we usually end around 6:30.

There are a lot of ways a home barista can use the famous Aeropress Coffee & Espresso Maker, and we're really happy to say that we learn something new each time we use it.
This precious little press-style coffee maker can easily become your best friend when you are craving a slam-bang espresso, or it can be a big disappointment if you end up flubbing the whole process.
I still remember a few rude awakenings with horrible cups of coffee that I prepared myself because I didn't know certain tricks (that I know now) on how to make my perfect Aeropress coffee or espresso.
This was during my "I'll try anything once" phase. 🙂
We have an article on tips for the Aeropress where we talk a lot about how to use the machine itself and then some, so if you want to know more about how to use your Aeropress, you can read that article by following this link.
Even though the Aeropress was designed to be simple, you can't just use it any old way and expect a great cup of wakey juice.
So far we've learned that manually ground coffee using a burr grinder is the best grind to use for Aeropress brewing, not to mention any other type of brew method you might use, from a humble drip coffee maker to the most expensive espresso machines out there.
To find out more about grinding for Aeropress, we have a detailed article on that too which you can read by clicking here.
We also spoke before of how the Aeropress chamber and the filters should be warmed up with hot water so the whole process can run smoothly and without awkward tastes. Rinsing the filter prior to brewing is a key step that I've learned.
Many times, I have realized that no matter how good the coffee is that I have ground, or how fresh, it was turning out to have a bit of a weird taste as if some evil office fairy had run by and throw paper dust into it.
It took me a while (I'm not slow, I swear) to realize that my filters are providing my coffee with that unwanted taste. This was before I rinsed them, of course. I now know better.
If you have been in a situation like this, don't immediately blame the filters that typically come with your Aeropress.
The filters are probably fine, but just require that quick hot water rinse to evacuate that subtle paper flavor.
Even though I managed to figure out what was causing my Aeropress coffee to taste weird, I had already begun searching for alternatives to paper Aeropress filters, and this lead me to stainless steel permanent filters, which is why, today, I want to do a little comparison review between two popular filter sets meant for Aeropress.
We will be comparing the paper filters that come with the unit to the stainless steel type of Aeropress filter that is also available.
Right off the bat, I will state the obvious here which is that one is reusable, and one is disposable.
Steel Aeropress Filters from The Purple Tractor
It wasn't until a couple of months ago that I decided to try the Purple Tractor's Aeropress filter set which includes two stainless steel mesh filters.
Before that, I always stuck to my paper filters that came with my Aeropress unit, and never even gave any thought to the fact that there was anything else out there.
Environmentally Friendly Aeropress Filter
So, here's what's cool about these filters, if you ask me. Because they are made from stainless steel, these filters last forever, and they are extremely eco-friendly to boot.
Once I started using the Purple Tractor steel filters, just knowing that I was saving a tree or two makes me feel pretty good.
The Purple Tractor includes a short mission statement with the package, which got me thinking along the lines of sustainability. Good stuff!
On the other hand, you're paying a fair bit more for these steel Aeropress filters, which does seem like a lot compared to the normal paper filters which are only a few dollars for a pack that will last you months.
Steel Aeropress Filter Options
To be completely honest at first I was confused by the fact that The Purple Tractor offers 2 different style steel filters that come together with this package.
At first I wasn't sure why they made two different looking filters, thinking maybe they just wanted to offer two different styles of filter in one package?
But then I had to face-palm myself because upon closer inspection one filter is obviously a finer mesh than the other, so they're really meant for brewing either fine or coarse ground coffee.
The nice thing about these Purple Tractor steel filters is that each of them fits snugly into my Aeropress.
They both have solid construction and look great, not that looks matter much when it comes to coffee filters I guess.
Overall, the whole package is really nice and it makes sense to me that its only around $15, which really isn't too expensive.
Over the following weeks, I tried using each of these filters when using different grind sizes and bean types, just to see if it really made any difference.
I always made sure I ground the beans up fresh, because I know that's really important.
I use a Hario Mini Slim to grind my beans, because I can grind straight into my Aeropress, and from there, straight into my mug.
Not surprisingly, the filter that is designed for a coarser grind works just fine with my coarse grinds, and the finer-meshed filter is more for espresso style coffee, which I've managed to do really well a handful of times.
With the finer-meshed filter, it is extremely fine so you can get away with some really fine grinds here, which is great.
I read that some people even stack the two of them together, and I've tried that too – with mixed results.
A couple other things about the Purple Tractor filters are that they're easy to clean, and you can also store them right in your Aeropress until the next time you brew. Very helpful!
Overall, the flavor and aroma of my coffee that I get when using these reusable stainless steel filters is quite good, provided I'm having an "on" day when it comes to my Aeropress technique.
To be honest, I'm still getting the hang of it.
I learned a lot from this article on this very website, called "Aeropress Tips" – really helpful resource.
Now, in case you want to learn more about Aeropress technique, here's a great video showing how Aeropress should be done featuring 2009 World Barista Champ Gwilym Davies, who just happens to be using a paper Aeropress filter here…
Paper Aeropress Filters
To backtrack a little bit, before I got my hands on the Purple Tractor steel filters, I only used paper filters and typically just tossed them to the garbage after I made my Aeropress coffee.
I did this on a daily basis and yeah, I guess it was slightly wasteful of me.
With paper filters, you kind of just go through them quickly like paper towels or something, so you don't really think about them much.
You can get a double pack with 700 filters which covers you for about two years or so, which seems like forever.
These paper filters fit perfectly into my Aeropress, and they are microfilters, so they are great for removing grit from your home brew.
These filters are a big part of why Aeropress coffee is so rich and smooth, if you can learn just to rinse them before using them to eliminate any extra dust that is on them, because it gives the coffee a tinge of something you don't want – paper taste.
These paper filters are 2.5″ in diameter, and, actually, they CAN be reused if you want.
I never reuse them – just don't want to use them again after using them once, but people do and I have nothing bad to say about that.
Some people have found other uses for them, but honestly, I just don't want to bother – I toss them out along with the grinds after I'm done.
You know what? I just prefer the steel filters now, because honestly, I figure if I'm going to try to be eco-friendly or reduce my carbon footprint or what have you, I may as well just use a re-useable filter, you know what I mean?
A pack of 350 costs only about $4 – not sure how much of a better deal I could find these for. Plus, 350 is basically one year of filters, since I drink one cup a day.
Aeropress Filters – The Bottom Line
Maybe coffee filters aren't the most exciting topic in the world, but when it comes to home brewing, the smallest things sometimes make the biggest difference.
Over the years I've learned that grinding the beans yourself with a burr coffee grinder is super important, and prior to that I'd never even heard of a "burr" in my life.
Then I realized that using your grinds ASAP was another crucial moment in your coffee brewing journey.
Before that, I would leave grinds out over night on my counter and wonder why my morning cup wasn't that great. Now my thing is filters. I guess you live and learn.
I also have a great coffee vault to keep things fresh.
The bottom line here is that both of these types of Aeropress filters are really good, as long as you know what you're doing.
There are very few complaints about either of these types of filters, so you can buy them and not worry too much about running into any issues.
Still, I hope this article helped you learn a little something about Aeropress coffee and the two types of filters you can use.
Thanks for reading! 🙂

Breitling: Successful Drilling at First Permian Well
Breitling Energy Corporation, a Dallas-based oil and gas exploration and production company, announced the successful drilling of its first well on the its existing 3,680 acre farmout in Sterling County, Texas in the prolific Permian Basin. The well reached total depth of 9,215 feet in late March and the Company elected to run pipe in the anticipation of fracking and completing the well in mid-May.
The Company has recently announced it had entered into a farmout agreement with Steller Energy and Investment Corporation to gain rights to the Permian Basin acreage.
"Considering we have the ability to down space to 20 acres in the area, we could have one-hundred plus drilling locations in Sterling County," stated CEO Chris Faulkner. Faulkner further noted, "The electric logs show potentially productive zones in the Cisco-Canyon sands, the Cline, the Strawn and the Wolfcamp formations and we look forward to updating our stockholders again once we are able to quantify the increase in oil and gas production that this well will contribute to the Company's overall oil and gas production."
The Company currently plans to drill an additional seven new wells on the Sterling County acreage to fully capture the total 3,680 acres.

Strada's pizza bases pass the thin & crispy test. The toppings are fresh, the flavours authentic & the price is right – such things matter to the foodies who will eat here, but won't
consider other high-street chains. However, superior wood-fired pizzas aren't all Strada has going for it: readers also praise 'accommodating' service that achieves a fine balance between
'unhurried & speedy', plus clean, contemporary surrounds that are appealing enough for business or pleasure. There are clearly some serious Italophiles making the decisions at Strada, &
this filters through to menus that embrace less-predictable options of stuffed & breaded olive ascolana, Sardinian fregola & clam soup, black tagliolini with crab, & nougat semifreddo
'affogato'. Italian wines, with lots around a fiver a glass, are a bonus.

I love experimenting with different topics and writing techniques. I think it's important to try and push yourself. Writing has always been therapeutic to me, and that's why I love it. In my blog, you can find stories, reviews, persuasive prompts or random out pours of my thoughts.
Daily Dosage posts are for the days that I let my fingers do the talking.
I love discussing characters and story lines of books that I've read, Books I've Read is a series of all the books that I have recently read and give you an insight into what I learned and if it's worth reading!
On the rare occasion that I get really creative, I love to write poetry. Most of the poetry I write just comes on a whim and is hardly ever edited. I like the idea of sharing the first thought, no chance for edit. Depending on the poem, I like to keep the original thought. So feel free to read My Poetry.
My Traveling Diaries is one of the my favorite things that I write about. I love documenting trips and the food I eat, the places I go and the things I do. Traveling, exploring and adventuring is one of my goals in life, to discover new cultures, people, food and opinions. I love everything about it.
Journal Prompts are for me to get to know myself a little better. They are for looking inward and expressing myself.
Story Prompts help to get my creative juices flowing and help me design and write my own story.
If you are interested at all, I do like to write Essays. I made a goal last year that I would write at least one essay a year. To me, that's 1,000 words explaining a inspiring person, current event, social issue or anything of that nature.
The College Girl's Guide is a series I started in 2013 that was a catch all series giving advice to college-age girl's about various topics like camping, rock climbing, traveling and adulting! This series is a lot of fun to write as well, because I get to implement things that I discover
Things I Learned only happens once a year at the end of the year. I take a moment and reflect on things that I've learned within the past 12 months.
Sometime The People I Meet make a huge impact on me and my life, and that's always worth sharing.

We probably would have done better to plant mangrove trees. Ducks are running the bases in the little league baseball diamond next door.
Something has happened in the construction business. Lots all around us, which have sat vacant, full of weeds, for the last four years, now have holes dug and forms laid. Mounds of construction dirt all over the place — now pretty much mud and swimming pools.
It hasn't seemed to stop the kids playing in the waterpark though, they are still splashing and cavorting.
At least the lakes and dams are full. I wonder if that will be enough to keep the newscasters from whining — probably not.
It seems that the people I follow on Twitter [Mike Massimino (Astro_Mike), Scott Parazynski (SPOTScott) and Mark Polansky (Astro_127)] are all going to be home this weekend.
Pessimists, we're told, look at a glass containing 50% air and 50% water and see it as half empty. Optimists, in contrast, see it as half full. Engineers, of course, understand the glass is twice as big as it needs to be."
Mike, because he returned from Hubble last week; Scott because he's home now from summiting Everest on his second try; and Mark, because his launch was aborted.
Me… I'm here cause it's raining. Maybe I'll go swimming in the neighbors new pool.

The most quick and easy sweet-tart lemon pudding bundt cake with fresh blueberries and fresh lemon glaze.
I threw this together in sheer minutes. Maybe even under 5. I gave this cake almost zero planning whatsoever.
It was a totally last minute, off-the-cuff idea. I tossed the ingredients in a big bowl and stirred for about a minute, and the prep was DONE.
I like to bake in bulk, and I think I had a minute or two of idle time somewhere in-between flipping a crepe, waiting for a cheesecake to come out of the oven, and letting the mixer beat the heck out of some buttercream frosting.
Many balls were in the air, but I had about 90 seconds of free time on my hands, and I didn't want to waste it.
I looked around my counter-top at ingredients that were strewn about everywhere, and just decided to whip it up. I didn't brainstorm this cake idea in advance or plan for it at all, but it came together quickly in my head when I viewed lemon cake mix, lemon pudding, and fresh blueberries sitting on my counter-top.
This cake turned out amazing, thankfully. Given that I didn't give it more than 10 seconds of planning, I would say it was a smashing success!
It's not only wonderfully moist, tart, and vibrant with lemon flavor, but it's chock-full of plump blueberries. I tried to pick the most rotund of them all. It's also drizzled with a fresh lemon glaze, that sinks into the cake, giving it even more lemon zing, and keeping it ultra-moist.
Lemon and blueberries are a classic pairing, and they feel particularly appropriate in the spring! Okay, it's not spring, but it's just around the corner, no? Hope so.
I also think it's a really pretty cake. I love how elegant and understated it is! It's definitely worthy of serving on a holiday! Easter dessert, perhaps?
Lemon Blueberry Bundt Cake with Lemon Glaze
For Lemon Blueberry Cake:
- 1 box lemon cake mix
- 1 box instant lemon pudding sugar-free will work
- 4 eggs
- 1 c. sour cream light sour cream will work
- 1/4 c. oil
- 1 pint fresh blueberries
- 2 tbsp. turbinado sugar
For Lemon Glaze:
- 3 c. powdered sugar
- 3 tbsp. butter melted
- zest of 1 lemon
- juice of 1 lemon
For cake:
In a large bowl, stir together cake mix, pudding mix, eggs, sour cream, and oil.
Gently fold in the blueberries. The batter will be thick, but if you're careful, the blueberries won't burst.
Spread the batter evenly into a well-greased tube pan or angel food cake pan.
Sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
Bake at 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near center comes out clean, and the edges are golden brown.
Cool bread in pan for 30 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
Meanwhile, prepare glaze.
For glaze:
In a medium bowl, combine powdered sugar, butter, lemon juice, and lemon zest, whisking until smooth.
Once the bread is cool, drizzle with glaze. Slice and serve!

In Antigua, we had our five day adventure on the sailboat then went to Blue Waters Resort for a few days. The reason for this was we weren't sure how well we were going to sleep on the boat and it gave us some time to do nothing. Sailing can be hard on the body. In part 1, I included a map of where we ventured so you can see how busy we were. The resort was to give us a few days to recover and actually vacation. :)
Our accommodations in the past have always been simple. A small house on the beach, a hut on the beach, a simple hotel on the beach. Blue Waters Resort was none of those things. It was huge. And gorgeous. Seriously. The grounds had lush landscaping and so many blooming flowers. Several buildings, separate homes, 7 pools and a few restaurants made up the complex but it is spaced out enough that it never felt crowded. The service was amazing. Many of them remembered our names even though we were only there for a few days. The beaches were small but breathtaking. Servers would come by with plates of fruit offering snacks and there was a waitress that served people on the beach while at their chairs. One could get spoiled at this place.
The main desk area.
This is our room when we were leaving. I forgot to take pictures of it when we first go there (typical). Also, I didn't get pictures of the bathroom but they were nice! A walk in shower with a rain shower head. There was a claw foot soaking tub, pedestal sink, and toilet.
The Palm's restaurant. This is where we ate breakfast and lunch. The first night we ordered room service from their dinner menu. The food was good but not great. The view from the dining area was beautiful.
We made reservations for The Cove restaurant one night. My only complaint about the entire resort is dress code at dinner. For most people this wouldn't be a problem but for us, staying on a sailboat for most of the week limited our packing. We only brought a few small bags and dress clothes didn't make the cut. There are good reasons to have a dress code but I feel they were a bit extreme. I had to buy a dress at the gift shop where there were not a lot of options. Blittle had brought a Perry Ellis tailored, fitted shirt with khaki pants. When we were leaving the restaurant the manager stopped us and said that his shirt was not to dress code since it was not collared but they decided to serve us anyway. Next time we needed to be within dress code to get service. Really? Here are the outfits.
Anyway, the food was delicious and sunset view from our table was perfect.
Looking at the resort from the peninsula. Our room was in the building right off the beach.
The sugar mill.
The beach! There were several small beaches at the resort but this was the one right outside our room so we stayed on it. Two pools were really close, too, so we hung out around them as well.
Overall, we had a great experience at Blue Waters and would go back. I will say that I got the best price through TripAdvisor. They had a deal on a deluxe beachfront room with breakfast included. The resort can be all inclusive but for us, all inclusive isn't worth it. We are not going to eat and drink enough to make up for the price. For lunch and dinner we ate and drank what we wanted, even ordered room service one night which has a fee and we still came out less than one persons all inclusive price per day!!!!!
I am so thankful we had the opportunity to take such an amazing vacation. There is no denying we needed it! Now we are looking forward to getting some house projects done and planning for our next adventure. :)
I hope everyone has a great week!

I had high hope for a photo booth set up at the Carnival Birthday Party. We raided Cole's dress up box and came up with a few great props. I put them all in a bucket and used a staple gun to attach an old curtain to the fence. I put our old point and shoot camera out for people to take pictures but I ended up taking all the pictures with good camera. I love the way they turned out and I included a set of wallet pictures with the thank you notes we sent out.

Today I installed the latest alpha of Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx Alpha inside of VirtualBox. After getting all of the updates I installed the VirtualBox Guest Additions. Upon boot my screen flashed lots of fun colors and then told me that my display configuration was fubared.
I booted up in low graphics mode and then searched for the answer, which I'm going to repeat here.
After installing the guest additions you need to modify a file.
gksudo gedit /usr/src/vboxvideo-3.1.4/vboxvideo_drm.c
Replace line 90 with the following:
#if defined(DRM_UNLOCKED) || LINUX_VERSION_CODE >= KERNEL_VERSION (2, 6, 33)
.unlocked_ioctl = drm_ioctl,
.ioctl = drm_ioctl,
Finally, run the following command:
sudo /etc/init.d/vboxadd setup
So anyways, this got me as far as logging in without the graphics dying. However, it looks like Compiz gets enabled and kills everything. I'll update if I find a solution to this.
Edit: Bug 6198 is fixed as of VirtualBox 3.1.6. To get it for Ubuntu add the VirtualBox PPA found at http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads and run sudo aptitude install virtualbox-3.1

Event: Women's Individual Table Tennis
Date: 1st September 2012
Location: Mercury Theatre Workshop, Colchester
Cost: Free
Rules: Singles matches are decided over the best of seven games, with the first player to reach 11 points (by a margin of two clear points) winning each game. Service changes after every two points have been scored. Once the score reached 10-10, the serve changes after every point.
The Game:
London 2012 Winner: Li Xiaoxia, China.
Score: Game One: Ellie 11, Sarah 4.
Game Two: Ellie 11, Sarah 5
Game Three: Ellie 12, Sarah 9
Game Four: Ellie 13, Sarah 16
Game Five: Ellie 12, Sarah 9
Comments: Sarah: Let the games begin! We made a start to our Olympic endeavour today by crossing the first event off our list. Neither of us had played table tennis before, but we both quickly got in to it. Despite the makeshift table, the Olympic rules were easy to follow and Ellie dominated play! I managed to scrape a game back, but it was all over by the end of the fifth.
Ellie: And we're off; there is definitely no turning back now. Somehow I have managed to convert my limited Table Tennis knowledge (taken from that episode of Friends where Chandler is really good at Table Tennis and possibly QI) into a win. I would like to clarify that this was clearly beginners luck.

"Magic mirror on the wall, who's the fairest one of all?" –the Wicked Queen
For a galaxy, though, it's really not fair to ask which one's the fairest. It's simply too subjective of a question. But size, now that's something we can measure.
So, I ask you — galaxies of the Universe — to step forward and show yourselves! Galaxy, galaxy on the wall, who's the largest one of all?
Nice try, Andromeda. Our biggest sister, Andromeda, has about 400 billion stars that make her up. That's about 50% more than our Milky Way has, and it makes Andromeda the largest galaxy in our local group. Andromeda is about 2 million light years away from us.
But those are some small potatoes. If we want to find a bigger galaxy, we need to look at a bigger group of galaxies. Let's try out the closest cluster to us…
The Virgo cluster! If we want the biggest one, we go straight to the heart of the cluster, which is where the giant elliptical galaxy — M87 — lives.
So let's take a look at M87!
55 million light years distant, M87 is the largest and brightest galaxy in the Virgo cluster, and is notable for the huge, 5000-light-year-long jet coming from the supermassive black hole living at its core!
This galaxy is tremendous in its physical size: about 500,000 light-years in radius. As far as its massiveness, it's about 200 times as massive as the Milky Way, or about 50 trillion times as massive as our Sun.
But what if we go to even bigger clusters than Virgo? Some of them are like the Coma Cluster, below.
The cluster is larger than Virgo, but what about its largest galaxy? Well, there are two giant elliptical galaxies close to its center, NGC 4889 and NGC 4874, easily visible in the above image. But even combined, they only add up to 20 to 30 trillion times the mass of our Sun.
On the other hand, there are spectacular galaxy clusters like the Perseus Cluster, which I'll show you below.
Well, if we look at the heart of the Perseus cluster, we find the galaxy Perseus A, also known as NGC 1275. This is one spectacular galaxy:
(There's a huge version of this, from Hubble, of course, available here.)
At a distance of 237 million light years, it's really quite far! And while it is hugely bright in its X-ray emissions, it's only about 100,000 light years in radius; only about 3 times the size of our Milky Way!
So some of these galaxies at the hearts of clusters are supermassive, loaded up with the matter from trillions of Suns in them, but others are much more modest.
So we go around, finding galaxy clusters, and look for giant, centrally-dominant elliptical galaxies in them. (Fornax, dominated by NGC 1399, is shown above.) And we measure their angular size, their light, and try to infer their masses.
So enough with the suspense, already! Who wins?
Say hello to cluster Abell 2029, a supercluster of galaxies just over a billion light years away. If we look at the heart of Abell 2029, we find the largest, most monstrous galaxy ever observed, IC 1101.
IC 1101 is 5 to 6 million light years across, or about 5 times larger in radius (and hence about 125 times larger in volume) than the huge M87!
Estimates of its mass are close to a quadrillion solar masses, with an estimated 100 trillion stars!
And — as of right now — it's the largest galaxy we know of in the entire Universe. Enjoy!

There I was starting my second year of college with all of my life planned out in front of me, not letting anything change my plans, not even my type 1 diabetes. I had a plan to be a doctor, continue volunteering as a counselor at a camp for children with type 1 diabetes, and not letting anyone tell me otherwise. Until one day that all changed when someone very near and dear to me told me I need to attend a conference for young adults with type 1.
At first I was taken aback, attending a conference for type ones to gain more support just seemed so unneeded. Did people think I needed support? Did I seem like I needed help? I still do not know, to this day, the answer to those questions but I do know that attending that conference changed my life.
In 2012, I attended my first young adults conference for type ones called, DTreat and there I found my best friend. I learned so much more about myself than I could have imagined. I went in hesitant but came out with so many new friends and ideals on my diabetes. We learned about things like alcohol, stress, and relationships. Along with meeting some really cool people like Iron Andy! DTreat had changed me into a new diabetic and a new person with so much more perspective on life with and without my diabetes.
While there I learned way more about myself than one could imagine. I learned that I have a deep love for diabetes education and support. Needing support does not need you need help or are struggling but really its just a free pass to be friends over a common life struggle that then can form into so much more. Now days all of my close friends are diabetics that I have met through programs like DTreat. I went from being that girl who had diabetes but didn't let it be overly known to that girl who is diabetes. Everything I do generally has some relation to diabetes; bettering my care, planning a program, seeing my diabesties, training a diabetic alert dog, and many others.
Since then I have been to many more leadership and young adult conferences for type ones that have shaped me and made me question my life plans like no one could believe. Some of those have included Students With Diabetes, DLead, and more Dtreat conferences. And yes if you can imagine that girl who started her sophomore year to become a doctor as mentioned in the beginning of this article has changed her major 5 times since then. I will now be graduating in May with a public health degree and starting my master in public health leadership degree in August. That girl who wanted to be a doctor now wants to create programs nationwide for all young adults with chronic diseases.
I have turned a negative connotation of 'diabetic support' into my life goals to help every young adult have the same opportunity I have had to gain that knowledge that I have gained through young adult conferences. I have grown to be a director of DTreat and could not be any more thrilled to be doing it!
Now it is your turn to experience this great conference in the way I have, not because "people think I needed support" or "you seem like you need help". Attend because you deserve to come grow yourself and meet incredible others just like you, dealing with their disease everyday like you do, and not letting it hold them back one bit!! DTreat 2015 will be July 10-12th in Boise, Idaho. Find out more at www.hodia.org/events.

Instead of being offered the immense privilege of starring in an AA campaign (which offers incalculable professional opportunities, for as we know many of AA's former ad girls have gone on to pursue a profitable career in the porn industry) , Nancy received a letter written by a tantrum-throwing AA employee, scolding miss Upton for her "stunt", and featuring some unforgettable sentences about AA's CEO Dov Charney ("Dov is a great American Industrialist", "we really like Dov and we passionately believe in his vision", "a lot of people would be very sad if this company wasn't around") and about Nancy's photos ("It's a shame your project attempts to discredit our positive intentions", "we have decided to award the prize to someone who truly exemplifies the idea of beauty inside and out"). I wonder why a "serious" company would react to a setback like a high-school mean-girl prom queen realizing that "OMG, the fat girl is now far more popular than me, that's like totally not happening!". Yeah, well... dear American Apparel: bad crisis management.
"Is butter a carb?"
Not that I'm surprised by their bad management; after all, they showcase it repeatedly with their near-bankruptcy business numbers, their lawsuits every other week (by employees who have been sexually harassed or by Woody Allen himself) and their ad campaigns proudly objectifying women. Of course it's probably easier for a company to go awry when 90% of its employees are coked-up high-school dropouts who can barely read but that compensate it by partying 8 days a week and being the coolest people on earth, gold-lamé-spandex style.
Throw in a turquoise lamé headband and this is some people's idea of "too cool for school"
"Sell us hipster clothes! We can't exist without hipster clothes!"
"Was this the face that launched a thousand ships and burnt the topless towers of Ilium?"
"womanhood aka piece of ass"

Amazon.com allows its visitors to refine their search for used audio mixers by selecting a specific brand and choosing only those products that satisfy the selected rating range. It specifies the amount of offers and the price for used models. Once the visitor clicks on the Used link below the model he wishes to buy, Amazon.com displays a list of all available offers, seller information, condition of the product and the terms of delivery.
EBay lists more than 150 different audio mixer models, the prices and bids of which range between a $1 for the Mackie Micro Series 1402 model and $16,250 for the professional EUPHONIX CS2000 console mixer. The Professional Sound Services website updates its stock of used audio mixers frequently, and it offers 17 different models as of February 2015. The prices of these models range between $150 for the cheapest Spirit Folio audio mixer and $1,700 for the Sound Devices 552 model. The company guarantees that all used audio mixers have been quality tested. Additionally, it offers a warranty that lasts 90 days upon purchase.

It's common for end users to complaint about the domain prefix that they have to use at the login for a SharePoint site (windows authentication). And it frustates users when they can't login with their usernames and have to be reminded time and again about the domain prefix.
One alternative is to use UPN or User Principal Name to be used as login. UPN is nothing but a suffix that is added after a username which can be used in place of "Samaccount" name to authenticate a user. So lets say if your company is called Microsoft, then instead of Microsoft\Username you can use firstname.lastname@example.com at the authetication popup.
Adding an UPN to active directory is straight and simple (only requirement is the access to global catalog server). http://support.microsoft.com/kb/243629
