We hadn't got far when we bumped into a couple and got talking. She showed me watercress growing on the river's edge -I wouldn't have recognised it- and recommended the pub, which we went to later. I said I was looking for somewhere to swim and her eyes lit up: she had grown up locally, she said, and had swum in the river often, but the best places were further downstream where it was deeper.
The way to the weir lay through a field full of cows and heifers. They were docile enough and stood looking at us with the usual mixture of innocence and obstinacy. The river to the left of the field looked particularly inviting: it was wide, slow-flowing and deep enough for a swim. Once we reached the weir, I left the others to snap away, changed behind a bush and lowered myself in. It felt quite warm after a minute or two and I set off upstream, at a slow breaststroke. It was raining gently and, since the water surface was at eye-level, I got a great view of the drops of rain hitting the surface. There were one or two ducks about, the odd duck-feather floating on the surface and the whole place stank of fish (it would, wouldn't it?). Trees lined both banks, although I at last got back to the cow field. Most of the cows were very young and probably hadn't seen a swimmer before: they all looked very startled and came down to the water edge to watch. Their reaction was the sort one would expect of humans had they seen someone flying, unaided, in the sky. I decided it was time to get out and made for the bank. The edge of the river, where the water was inches deep, was lined with a thick ooze. I couldn't stand up, so I tried crawling out towards the jostling semi-circle of heifers, only my arms sank up to the shoulders before they reached a firm surface, my legs to the thighs. I persevered and, as the bank got closer, so the mud got less deep. The cattle made way for me as I staggered out.
It's great to be able to do things related to a book as you're reading it: to travel round Dublin while reading Ulysses or go for long walks in the woods while reading Lord of the Rings, for example. To be able to go for wild swims while reading Deakin's Waterlog is a real treat. As I made my muddy way along the bank I was reminded of this passage:
I scrambled out with the help of the reeds but still managed to daub myself in a woad of black silt, so that I had to face my walk back along the bank in my swimming trunks, looking like some neolithic erstwhile inhabitant.

You could stream your tunes from the Pod to your any Mac in your house, or even cooler, your Rendesvous-equipped home stereo of the future (coming pretty soon). Plus, I'm always falling asleep listening to my Pod and I think it would be killer if I could be streaming some internet radio from iTunes on my Mac into my Pod from anywhere in my house. I just think that would be the sickest thing ever. I'm sure Apple already has this in the works for a while but I just wanted to blurt it out before I fall asleep and forget about it.

Robbie Brenner Leaving Relativity for The Firm
Robbie Brenner is leaving her post as president of production at Relativity and will join the Firm, the management-production company run by Jeff Kwatinetz, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.
Brenner becomes the second major exec to vacate Ryan Kavanaugh's company as it goes through bankruptcy. Tucker Tooley, who was Relativity's president, is in talks with The Weinstein Co.
Kwatinetz last month relaunched the Firm, the management and production company he shuttered seven years ago. Brenner's new role will be to run the rebooted company's film division.
At Relativity, Brenner cut her teeth overseeing a broad range of movies, from the fantasy tentpole Immortals to action movie Escape Plan to drama Out of the Furnace to the romancer Safe Haven.
While some hit and some misfired, she also proved her tenacity producing Dallas Buyers Club outside of the studio system, fighting in the trenches for years to get the Oscar-winning movie made.

Do Choa: Healthy Vietnamese Pickled Daikon Slaw
Spicy daikon radish pairs with sweet carrots in this class Vietnamese pickled slaw. Traditionally served over banh mi sandwiches, this healthy pickle is great over vegetarian Korean Red Beet Teriyaki Burgers, Mushroom Tacos, or Kale Avocado Salad. This easy recipe is naturally vegan and gluten-free.
EASY Servings: 8 Ready In: 7 minutes + 2 days
1 medium daikon radish
1 cup shredded carrot
1 tsp sugar
2 tsp salt , divided
1 cup warm water
1 1/4 cup white vinegar
Pin It, Share It
To prepare the Slaw: First, peel the daikon. Cut the daikon into 2-3 inch pieces. Thinly slice the daikon into "planks". Slice again into thin "matchsticks"
Place the daikon in a colander. Add the shredded carrots.
Add 1 tsp sugar and 1 tsp salt.
Use your hands to massage the slaw. The salt and sugar work to break down and soften the veggies. Food science!
Massage the veggies for about 2 minutes. They're ready when you can bend a daikon stick end-to-end without it breaking
To make the Pickling Brine: Combine 1 tsp salt with 1 cup warm water. Make sure the water is warm enough to dissolve the salt. If it's not, just microwave it for 30-60 seconds. Stir together to dissolve the salt into the water. Add the 1 1/4 cup white vinegar
Rinse off the "massaged" veggies
To finish the pickle: In a clean jar, combine the slaw mixture with the brine.
Let this pickle for at least 1-2 days in the fridge. A batch should last up to a month. Enjoy over Korean Red Beet Teriyaki Burgers, Charred Mushroom Tacos, or a big salad.
Chef's Tip: Daikon Radish is the traditional ingredient in this Vietnamese slaw. It backs a funky, peppery bite. You can make this with other radishes like watermelon, black radish, and regular red radish.

Read this tip to make your life smarter, better, faster and wiser. LifeTips is the place to go when you need to know about Exotic Hardwood Flooring and other Hardwood-Flooring topics.
Engineered Exotic Hardwood Floors are a great choice for nearly every room in the house. Essentially, engineered hardwood involves taking three to five layers of wood and gluing them together to make them strong and resilient. There are three main methods of producing engineered hardwood flooring: Rotary Peeled Veneers, Sliced and Sawn Face.
A traditional lumbering process called Sawn Face involves creating lumber from logs in the sawmill. The lumber is then graded and sorted, providing maximum yield from each log. Afterwards, the lumber is sawed into the desired thickness needed for the engineered process.
With Rotary Peeled Veneers , the wood logs are first conditioned in a vat and then placed on a large lather. The veneers of wood are peeled off in long strips, which provides the largest yield from the original log.
Sliced method also involves the first step of a conditioning vat. The log is then turned to lumber in a saw mill, after this, slices of lumber are removed, much like pieces of cheese are sliced.

The engine arrives from Caterham bolted onto a specially adapted pallet, and in my case with the bellhousing loosely bolted to it.
The gearbox arrived in a massive and very sturdy cardboard box which was taking up a load of space in the garage, but did come with a handy cardboard stand inside to keep the gearbox upright. I managed to cut the top of the box away so i could use the stand to support the 'box while I bolted the bellhousing on. Once this was assembled I tried to manhandle this over to the engine and get it connected, but it was too heavy for me to move it around gently and accurately enough to get the input shaft to slide into the clutch spline. Fortunately Darren next door came home at just the right time to help, and after a bit of swearing the gearbox and engine slid together.
If I was doing this again I'd have the bolts easily to hand and positioned in the right sequence, as they're all different lengths and you need to make sure they go in the right place, which isn't that easy to do when you're trying to hold up a 55kg gearbox.
Getting this done felt like a really big step in the build and also helped to get rid of some very big cardboard boxes! Next step: engine in.

Family photography takes place at my amazing loft style studio in Glasgow. These sessions are all about having fun and my aim is to create beautiful portraits that you will love and treasure for years to come. And I do everything possible to make the whole experience enjoyable for you from start to finish. Included in the session are portraits of the children on their own as well as the family together. I can also do location shoots around Glasgow for a small additional fee if you would rather.
Children grow us so fast it's no wonder that parents are taking photos of them all the time. Playing at home or running around outdoors, you probably have hundreds of snaps of them. Now ask yourself how many photographs do you have of you all together as a family? It's probably very few because you are always the one behind the camera. This is why professional family photographs are so important.
When you come to me for portraits the emphasis is on having fun! No stuffy portraits with you all gazing off into the distance, just you and your family sharing a great moment together that you get to keep and remember forever.
Psychologists believe that children who see family portraits on the walls of their home have more self esteem thats why I offer a stunning range of wall art for you to choose from.
Please contact me to enquire about booking your family photo session.

text: I need some business advice for my Technicianinabox campaign. Basically, I have developed the product and set the wheels in motion but i need to get the right people in the forum, both from a support point of view and subscribers. I decided to go the paid route because my experience is that people who are given training for free rarely take it further than a basic understanding of the materials. I guess you could say my real market is young people who have a lot of spare time or maybe unemployed people or even people with disabilities (some of these people maybe on your forum promotion website). I don't want to charge a lot because part of what i am trying to do is on compassionate grounds because after a long career in IT I have a mental disability and want to try and give something back. I myself will soon be attending MCCH Aspirations for help. So I am not to sure whether my prices are right (although 50% discount for unemployed/disablity) and the way i am approaching things is correct. Can you please advise me what you think i should do to take this project forward and connect with a marketplace? thank you for any help and advice you can give Stephen Technicianinabox.com

There's a reason cart culture caught on here in Portland, and Bombay Chaat House is the type of place that explains that reason better than any words. Quite simply, it's some of the best Indian food you'll find in town, cart-based or otherwise. Built around the cooking of veteran local cook Avtar Kaur, its all-vegetarian menu explodes with flavor, color and texture.
The chow: While some Indian carts serve up watery fare designed to make college kids feel like they're getting a good deal, Bombay Chaat House cooks up classics of the cuisine from scratch. The paneer, or young Indian cheese, in both the palak paneer and mutter paneer (both $6) is fresh, and the creamy texture plays well with the spice of either dish. Palak paneer pairs the cheese cubes with spinach and spices, while the mutter paneer features juicy green peas and a creamy orange sauce of tomatoes, onions, garlic, cumin and more. Bombay Chaat House also makes a delicious homemade bread, or naan ($1.25), but if you like the stinking rose, pay the extra $.75 for the even tastier garlic naan. Also highly recommended are the navratan korma and vegetable masala (both $6). If you like your food spicy, tell them so, and Avtar or one of her sons, often working alongside her, will make it as hot as you want it.
Real deals: With a few exceptions, everything on the chaat menu is between $3 and $4.50 and well suited for a light meal. The Samosa-Chaat, with samosa pieces, mint sauce, homemade yogurt, garbanzo beans, onions and spices, is colorful combo of sweet and sour.
Hangout factor: On a sunny day, if you can score a table, well, it's still a cart. In the rain, the frame where an awning should be will only taunt you.
Liquids: Masala Chai ($1.50-$2), Mango Lassi ($2.50), soda or water ($1).
What's half-baked? Often times the items on the "6 Course Special" board are out of date, so make sure to ask what's cooking.
Inside tips: That 6 Course Special is pretty amazing, and filling, regardless of what's in it. Between opening and 6 p.m., you get naan, rice and four dishes.
11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday to Friday; noon to 6 p.m. Saturday; 804 S.W. 12th Ave., 503-241-7944, bombaychaathouse.org

EPA Review Annex Documents
This annex contains the different inputs that have been used for elaborating the main report. It contains three sections. The first section includes two surveys that have been based on the existing literature. The first survey is a description of the negotiating process and the main constraints encountered during the process. The second survey summarises the empirical evidence regarding the impact of the Economic Partnerships Agreements (EPAs). The second section contains three different country case studies (for Ethiopia, Nigeria and Dominican Republic). This part begins with a summary chapter that details the main findings, lessons and draws comparisons between the country case studies. It is then followed by the original country case studies, which explain in detail their trade negotiation structure and their perceptions of the EPA process. The final section is an analysis of the different elements that are central to the evaluation of the EPAs as instruments for development. It is based on the discussion of the different provisions of the agreements, using the CARIFORUM-EPA as template, and the main potential constraints in order to translate these provisions into a positive development outcome.

Legal "prediction markets", sooner than you think.
Richard Jaycobs made a good point, among several, saying that calls for a PM lobby unrealistically ignore regulation, or treat it as an afterthought. The CFTC of course already has a regulatory framework in place that shields markets from gambling laws. In the case of Hedgestreet, it has also approved non-intermediated small-contract trading. Russell Andersson notes that the CFTC is, "open minded, approachable, thoughtful, and progressive", and that, "Without question, the CFTC is by far the most approachable and reasonable regulatory agency out there."
Whence the unease with CFTC regulation then? Aside from the barrier to entry of the contract market designation process, there is the fear that the agency will not approve potentially controversial contracts such as political markets — even if they unquestionably satisfy an "economic purpose test".
Along the same lines, traders aren't happy with Hedgestreet's current offerings, and this colors their opinion of CFTC regulation. But Hedgestreet's current lack of original longer-term contracts probably says more about the company's internal development than it does about the CFTC. (Not to imply that it says anything negative about their development.)
In any case, if Hedgestreet were to launch 2008 election contracts, much of the unease over CFTC regulation would evaporate. Hopefully the wheels are already in motion, with the relevant parties recursively making sure that no-one will be too "surprised". (And if Hedgestreet doesn't offer these contracts, someone else might. I suspect that one or two "dormant" exchanges are re-tooling for similar retail trading.) Election markets have been the most popular (non-sports) prediction markets to date and their legal operation in the US is the next major benchmark to anticipate. Such markets are also a natural starting point for any dialog with the agency.

Check out these adoreable best picture cookies from the bakery Eleni's! They also have best actor and actress ones! I think the "Up" cookie is my favorite. How can you not love those balloons!
Hope everyone has a lovely weekend!
Kale is one of those amazing super foods loaded with nutrients that I am trying to eat more often. Yesterday our work had a nutritionist/cook come talk to us and she showed us this easy and delicious kale salad recipe originally from Gourmet Magazine that can also be found here.
I've never been much of a fan of raw kale, but I am telling you, this is so good and nutritious! And I always seem to lack on my veggie intake during the winter, so I'm going to try to incorporate this into my diet more often.

What you'll need:
Blank t-shirt, one piece, or tank (pre-washed)
Since I use Heat n Bond, my instructions will follow Heat n Bond's instructions. If you are using a different fusible web, simply change out my instructions with the instructions on the package. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact me and I can help you.
Getting Started:
The first thing you'll want to do is take the template and place it under a sheet of your fusible webbing. Take your pencil and trace "dream big" on to the webbing. With the "dream," I made the lines connecting the letters together slightly bigger when I traced so it would be easier for stitching. Any time you applique letters or numbers, you'll want to trace them in the reverse since you will flip them when you adhere them to your garment.
Carefully cut the appliques out. This applique is a bit detailed so having small, pointy tip scissors will come in handy here. I use the micro-tip scissors from Fiskars and they work great.
Now that your appliques are attached to the t-shirt, you're ready to start the applique process. To stitch by hand, cut about 3-4 feet of your embroidery thread. Your skein of thread will have six strands. Separate two of the strands from the piece you've cut and thread them through your needle.
If you get stuck or have any questions, please let me know.

The Shout Over Cloth Diapers: Is the Eco-Payoff Actually Worth the Initiative?
I have two children. I did not towel diaper them, neither did I try that removal communication thing where you attempt to analyze your child's numerous faces in order to appropriately anticipate when you need to hold their nude base over a mixing dish that you will presumably never again use for food preparation functions. If I approximate we went through an average of six diapers a day for every youngster, that's a total of 8,760 disposable baby diapers I sent out to landfills throughout the very first 2 years of their lives.
The grand total amount is more compared to that, certainly, because I don't keep in mind either one of my kids supplanting their second birthday by suddenly choosing to be potty trained.
We are well past the diaper stage currently and also I have precisely absolutely no plans to review it ever before once again, excepting extreme unpredicted situations like having to drive cross-country to face a romantic rival or holding an 11-hour filibuster, but my efforts to lead a more eco-friendly way of living have led me to wonder: if I had to do it around once again, would certainly I utilize cloth this time?
I'll be truthful, I never ever even considered it when my kids were bit, due to the fact that it seemed like a great deal of additional work. I had not been even interested in enlightening myself on the topic, disposables just appeared like the means to go.
I Will Never ever Live Without Paper Towels (however Don't Inform Any person).
Fabric diapering appears to have actually come back in style recently, many thanks to easier fasteners and also super-cute materials. I've long suspected that the fad of displaying adorable baby butts swaddled in eye-catching patterns has brought about an increase in the variety of people that firmly insist that towel diapering is better for the environment. Who doesn't like to back up their parenting selections with the cozy feeling of self-righteousness? When it comes to whether that insurance claim is right, well … it's a little difficult to definitively state one way or the other.
There's no doubt that disposable baby diapers create a LOT of waste.
Around 27.4 billion disposable baby diapers are made use of each year in the USA, causing a feasible 3.4 million tons of made use of diapers added to landfills annually. One research study estimates that the $7 billion dollar non reusable diaper industry makes use of over 300 pounds of timber, 50 pounds of petroleum feedstocks, and 20 pounds of chlorine for each baby annually.
Those numbers appear jaw-droppingly dreadful, till you consider that cloth diapering also has an unfavorable affect on the setting. Fabric baby diapers use up big quantities of power and water for washing and drying out, and business diaper solution delivery trucks take in gas and develop air pollution.
Well, however exactly what regarding those toxins in non reusable diapers, the ones some individuals say can leach from land fills to pollute ground water?
Inning accordance with the EPA:.
Disposable diapers fall under the category of local solid waste, which implies the material is secure to be thrown away in an U.S. community strong waste garbage dump. In the U.S., modern-day garbage dumps are well-engineered centers that lie, developed, operated, and also kept an eye on to make certain conformity with government laws which intend to protect the environment from pollutants which may be present in the solid waste stream.
Spend simply a few minutes diving down Google's numerous informational rabbit-holes, and also you could locate hundreds of debates both for as well as versus fabric baby diapers, in addition to exhaustive studies that ultimately caused a sort of sophisticated shrug from the professionals.
" Disposables take in more basic materials and also generate even more solid waste … but fabric baby diaper production and usage eat more water as well as power as well as generate even more … atmospheric emissions as well as drainage effluent," composes Allen Hershkowitz of the Natural Resources Defense Council.
Video: cloth Diapering in Levelland
And after that theres this concerning Diapers:.
" Both the disposable and reusable diaper choices develop strong waste and also wastewater that need to be treated and/or gotten rid of. Much more solid waste is produced with the disposal choice, while more wastewater is produced with the recyclable option," composes Jeremy O'Brien, director of used research study at the Solid Waste Organization of North America.
Damned if you do, damned if you don't. Perhaps that blending dish isn't really such a bad suggestion.
Fugitive hunter: A Personal Pursuit to Ditch Paper Products in the Kitchen.
So just how's a moms and dad expected to sort with all the numerous point of views in order to make the environmentally-friendly selection?
I have no idea that there's a one-size-fits-all answer to the great diaper argument.
My individual sensation is that cloth is the much better alternative for those dedicated to living environment-friendly, considered that you can do points like line dry the fabrics, get energy effective appliances, clean on chilly, and so on. A three-year research study by the London-based Environmental Firm ended that there was "no significant distinction" in between the ecological impact of cloth as well as non reusable diapers– but they do make clear that steps could be taken to reduce the influence of cloth diapering:.
The ecological effects of using designed reusable diapers can be higher or below utilizing disposables, depending on how they are laundered. Unlike the use of non reusable baby diapers, it is consumers' habits after purchase that determines the majority of the impacts from recyclable baby diapers.
Regardless of our finest passions, disposables simply obtain tossed in the trash, and there's no method around that. It's not also recognized just how lengthy it takes for a non reusable baby diaper to decompose.
I feel like I've come around to believing that cloth diapering is the more responsible decision– as well as the much less expensive one over the long term– however would certainly I walk the stroll? I have really stressful memories of those early parenting days, and also I'm not sure that I would certainly have been able to commit to fabric. Tired and nervous and also, you know, quite a lot currently drowning under a hill of laundry.
Possibly I would certainly have, if I 'd spent some time into considering the options before me rather of blindly going with exactly what seemed easiest.

There's been a lot of frustration and a lot of anger recently in the games' press regarding recent releases and there have also been many comments regarding this particular subject that have basically forced me to illuminate this particular aspect of the industry.
What is AAA?
That's the question that I'm seeing here (and by "here" I mean "the internet")... but the thing is, for me, it's a straight forward answer - and I DO NOT understand the reasoning behind those that answer differently.
Let me start by positioning my argument:
How do we define success and quality? Seriously, have a look around your life and answer this question honestly. What's the best grade you could get in a subject? A? AA? A+? A*?
An "A" grade is the epitome of achievement. It is the pinnacle of the mountain that any academic climbs.
Let's switch to food and accommodation... AAA or 5 Star is the best you can get in a given market. Now, yes, those demarcations are dependent on the market that they are within, but otherwise they are a coherent sign of what is good and what is bad.
So maybe there are more examples out there but I think that those two are ubiquitous enough to kickstart this article; this opinion piece.
AAA is purely a quality-driven derivative. It is a measure of what the market considers to be good as opposed to bad. Most recently I have seen many people within the industry stating without doubt that AAA is related solely to budget. This is not the case. It never was. In the past, with little to no middleware and only proprietary engines to go on AAA tended to be the most expensive development choice because of it's difficulty. So let me get this out there uncategorically: AAA was historically about being the most expensive product to develop because it took the most expensive tools and team to develop it.
This is no longer true and hasn't been for a long time.
AAA is a measure of quality. That is what the majority of the population will understand by the term given their own experience from education and business. I mean, look at the goddamn ratings agencies for chrissakes... AAA is the epitome of the perfect investment. It's nothing to do with how well invested the country or industry is but is only about the anticipated and known quality that exists therein. AAA isn't an indication of investment already allocated to it. That's how it works...
So what IS AAA?
AAA is the perception that a game released is of the highest quality possible. It does not matter on length, nor visual aspects, nor animation... It matters purely on the completely subjective aspect of whether consumers like it a whole lot or not. Same as it does for every other time AAA is applied to any other industry out there.
That is it.
So please, game makers, stop foisting this ludicrous notion that AAA means a multi-hundred million budget and a huge team regardless of final release quality... because AAA isn't what you define it to be but what your customers define it to be.
Same as a 5 star hotel is not 5 star if none of the customers believe it is... neither is your very expensive, overrated game.

Ever since reality TV shows exploded in the mid-90s, we have had to keep reminding ourselves the same thing – even though it says "reality", it is not always real. Google for a few minutes and you will find a long list of real estate reality shows, in particular, house flipping shows. The viewer with the experience in the business can probably pick out the unrealistic parts right away and even the average viewer knows that the shows are meant for entertainment and that they should not be used as a basis for serious decisions. As this Business Insider article puts it – house flipping isn't all it's cracked out to be on TV.
Many shows portray flipping as a profitable business that can easily be done in your spare time. In reality, you can make money fixing and flipping houses, but it takes a lot of hard work and a lot of flipping to make some serious money. It is also very easy to lose a lot of money if you don't know the basics of the business.
How long does it take to flip a house?
On the surface, it would seem that you could fix and flip a house in 3 months – buy the property, fix it, list the house and sell it. However, you should know that it could take you twice as long to finish the job. As an experienced flipper, Mark Ferguson notes in this article, that the biggest challenge is finding the right contractors. Once you find them, you have to get them scheduled for the job, wait for the repairs to be completed and make sure that all the repairs are done correctly. Only after that, you can list the home and sell it as soon as possible.
What should you avoid if you decide to start flipping?
Many first-time flippers try to save money by doing the fixing themselves, because they do not realize how long it takes to make repairs. The thing is, it could take months to fix the property and the extra time can eat up the money you thought you saved by doing the work yourself. To make the matter even worse, the work probably won't be as good as if a professional did it. So if you decide to start flipping, only do the repairs if you know what you are doing and if you have the time to complete them.
Is all the hassle worth it?
After looking at all the risks, costs and everything that has to be accounted for, flipping may seem a little bit intimidating. Just like anything in life, it takes time to learn exactly what are you doing and feel comfortable. The success will probably not come from making a huge profit in one or two flips a year, but from consistently making modest sums for multiple houses.
Flipping a property is not easy; it takes time to find a property, money to fix it up and market knowledge to sell it. If you decide to get into the business, and you need help with the transfer of legal property or the granting of an encumbrance, experts from Think Conveyancing can help you out. Becoming a successful fix and flipper will not happen overnight, however, if you can master fixing and flipping it could potentially make you a great deal of money and it could be a lot fun also.

Stay hydrated! Crochet Water Bottle Carry Along
This is my latest successful crochet project. I say successful because I recently made a hat that was a fail... my family did have a lot of fun with it though, I will post some very funny and silly pictures of the hat next time :) But for now, I have a success to show :) I found this great pattern for a water bottle carry along. I just added a stripe and a flower (have to have my girly accent) to the pattern. This is a great pattern and you can find it here for FREE :)
2 comments:
I love the colors, did you use cotton, or a cotton blend? I've been tempted to make one of these. I made one from a different pattern years ago, and got disappointed because the yarn stretched out/got droopy after a month or so. Do you think you might run into the same problem?ReplyDelete
I wanted to use my bottle holder a few times before I responded. I used 100 % cotton, and yes it did stretch :( It is still very usable and I still love it but I think next time I will make it too small so when it does stretch it will be just right :)ReplyDelete

|Selections from "Muscle and Blood Piano"
by Barbara Lattanzi
Sampling the classic horror movie, "Nosferatu" by F.W. Murnau (1922), the selected shockwave applets test one model of interactivity in which the interpretive process of cinematic editing is meant to coincide with the time of viewing. At a central moment of "Nosferatu," a threshold is crossed, into the 'land of phantoms'. That threshold of horror mirrors the idea of the computer interface itself. Thus, the interactive setting for "Nosferatu" invokes a problematic, unsettling metaphor for the interface - both cybernetic and social. [Needs Shockwave + Quicktime plugins]

Feeling like life is passing you by because you're limited by illness and pain? Do you believe you're too old to try something new, achieve a dream, or simply shine brightly as a beloved child of God because your health is bringing you down? I offer this little plant as inspiration: It's a Christmas cactus in March, perched on a small bottom shelf out of any direct sunlight – and it's full of buds!
Yes, my Christmas cactus is preparing to bloom – in Spring!
No matter if its timing is off, and apparently it doesn't care if it's not getting all the right sun and placement in order to bloom. In a couple of weeks, it will be full of beautiful, red blossoms anyway. And isn't that encouraging for each of us?
No matter our age, what we suffer from, or how low we feel. No matter if we don't have all the right conditions to feel like we can bloom. All of this cannot stand up to what God wants for us and how he wants us to shine anyway, bloom anyway – and show the world how wonderful He is all the time.
I wouldn't think of moving my Christmas cactus or changing how I care for it. It's doing just fine, even more than fine.
So, it doesn't matter when you bloom, so long as you let God work and bring those blossoms out!
Blessings for the day,

Researchers Corroborate the TCGA Subtype Classification of Glioblastomas Using the Rembrandt Glioma Dataset
Pritty Patel Joshi
Gliomas are primary tumors that originate from glial cells, also known as the 'supportive' cells of the brain. These tumors can be classified clinically based on their microscopic appearance as well as their grade, or degree of malignancy, with I being the lowest grade and IV being the highest.
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is a grade IV tumor and the most common primary brain tumor. Patients with GBM face a dismal prognosis with a median survival of approximately one year. While individuals diagnosed with low grade gliomas often experience longer survival times of 3-8 years, these tumors are also fatal as they typically progress to GBM.
Using a tumor classification scheme developed by The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), investigators at Emory University offer insights into the progression of this debilitating disease. Their findings, published September 2010 in PLoS ONE, establish the predictive value of TCGA GBM gene expression signatures with implications for targeted treatments.
The TCGA Research Network previously used the GBM gene expression datasets to identify four distinct molecular subtypes. In this work, classification of tumors into the Proneural, Neural, Classic, and Mesenchymal subtypes provided evidence to support the need for targeted therapeutics. However, subtype classification did not predict overall patient survival. Carlos Moreno, Ph.D. and his colleagues believe they know why. They reasoned that the short survival period of GBM hinders efforts to identify gene signatures predictive of patient outcome. Instead, they argue, in order to gain insight into survival, lower-grade gliomas should be subjected to similar classification procedures and subsequently assessed for clinical outcome.
The Proneural Subtype is Enriched in Certain Low Grade Gliomas and Predictive of Survival Outcome
Since TCGA does not currently include low grade gliomas in their analyses, the researchers turned to an alternate publicly available brain tumor dataset, the Repository for Molecular Brain Neoplasia Data (Rembrandt), which, like TCGA, is managed in part by the National Cancer Institute. Rembrandt contains clinical and molecular data from grades II, III, and IV gliomas.
The scientists used multiple bioinformatics tools to analyze the Rembrandt dataset. They found that classification of these data using the TCGA scheme readily unveiled the four subtypes previously identified by the TCGA Research Network.
Analyses of survival outcomes in gliomas of mixed grades showed that tumors classified as Proneural had significantly better outcome. Additionally, the Proneural gene signature was enriched in a specific type of grade II and III gliomas, oligodendrogliomas, and predicted improved survival in this tumor type. The other three subtypes showed no discernable differences in survival.
To better understand the progression of low grade gliomas to GBM, the investigators focused their subsequent analyses on the Proneural subtype. They examined the gene expression and copy number changes in Rembrandt Proneural tumors. The scientists identified a few hundred genes that exhibit expression or copy number changes between low and high grade gliomas implicating pathways such as Notch and Hedgehog in the progression of Proneural tumors. According to the authors, these findings suggest that the molecular subtypes identified by TCGA signify intrinsic differences in tumor biology.
In Silico Analyses Demonstrate the Significance of TCGA Datasets
The researchers in this study aimed to determine the significance of the TCGA gene expression signatures by applying them to a different glioma dataset. They provide evidence to show that the gene expression patterns developed by TCGA have prognostic value for low grade gliomas. Their results lay the framework for the development of targeted therapies that could suppress low grade Proneural tumors prior to their progression to the fatal GBM disease.
These analyses illustrate the broad applications of TCGA findings. Overall, the scientists stress, this study exemplifies the magnitude of publicly available datasets and presents promising implications for future discoveries from TCGA.

...for turning dreams into reality.
The Dream:
To have a farm, in the traditional sense, with a variety of outputs from eggs, pork, beef, olives, and of course wine, in a rural community where my family and I could practice the principles we have always strived to live by. To slow life down and live rather than exist. Find a place to be... to be me; to be free; to be free from the overdeveloped consumer-driven society which is slowly killing us and our culture... but i digress.
Our requirements:
We want to be within 4 hours of the central coast (family and friends from the past 10 years are there), within 2 hours of a major city, within 3 hours of Sydney (for our Sydney fix) in a region capable to producing good wine and olive oil, and with land we can afford without selling our souls to the machine which is modern economic rationalism.
There were other ideals... green rolling hills (okay so that's Tasmania and the NSW south coast... not gonna happen!), a stony creek, a vibrant arts community, a degree of multiculturalism, and some foodies nearby...
Fast forward to November 2010, and after years of waiting, researching, looking, visiting different areas and almost applying for several jobs, the ideal opportunity arises. Just 11 months after deciding that we'll stay put in our suburban life until our 3 year old starts school, a spanner gets well and truly thrown into the works and the resultant roller coaster of the past 2 months has been a giddy thing (Mumford and sons gave me that last line as I write).
My next few posts will be dealing with the past 2 months as we pack up our suburban lives and prepare to move to the country for a new life, with new possibilities and new challenges, but with an expectation of a reality quite different from our present reality. Also, for anyone who has ever read one of my previous posts will attest, I also plan to reinvent my blog as a journal of discovery which is quite a different direction from the old righteous indignation at the state of the world.
I do hope that you will join me on my journey...
What change do you wish to see in the world?

Lost Boat unveiled
It's finally on my website — the complete Lost Boat shoot I've had in my head for years. The location scouting destroyed my little 35/2 lens, the pre-production drove me slightly insane, the props and rowboat filled my driveway, and then … it came together beautifully. The actors brought their characters to life, the crew made it a smooth day and the boat held five people without collapsing.
(You'll also find it smack in the middle of the latest print edition of Workbook, and earlier this week Workbook picked it up on its blog.)
A few highlights:
Found this location in the final hour of the final day of scouting. Then my lens fell apart.
Don't mess with Victorian women.
The beard is real. He shaved it off the next day.
Not the man you want guiding your boat.
Even the lowly oarsman gets his portrait taken.
The always-brilliant Milo Cawthorne.
Sailors just want to have fun.
For a behind-the-scenes view, see my earlier blog post. For all your talent and hard work, again, my deepest gratitude to the talent, crew and retoucher Rebecca Bausher/Pixel Chick Studios.

I study manga art with a heart to give to God what I've been given. My heart aches to bring stories to life and heaven to earth. I don't create to promote anything about myself. I really don't care about that. When I don't create, I feel that a part of me dies. I believe this trait is inbred into all who aspire to be God's artists and storytellers.
Shelter has been a ministry since late 2003. It's a bitter-sweet project since I haven't been able to progress as much as I've wanted for lack of time. As many of my sisters out there know, our families come first and we have to work for a living. I don't have the means to stay home and create (my dream job!) at the moment but I am thankful for the love and support that I've recieved over the years. And I'm especially thrilled that I can inspire those who are struggling themselves, and others who want to create manga for God's glory. I pray for you!
I would love for anyone who think they might want to contribute in some way to use their gifts and time for this ministry. Donations will be used for website maintence and printing books, and for my future projects (the donation widget is displayed in the sidebar). Language skills will help this work go further into other areas. (I'm currently praying for an Italian translation) 🙂 I have TONS of pages that need inks and tones but honestly, I don't think most people would understand them…..:/
Thank you for your patience with my endeavor, and thank you ahead of time for any donation. I hope you see that I'm very serious when I say that I have no intention to misuse funds or to quit 😉

Brand Name: Atacand
Medically reviewed by Drugs.com on Mar 7, 2018 – Written by Cerner Multum
What is candesartan?
Candesartan is an angiotensin II receptor antagonist. Candesartan keeps blood vessels from narrowing, which lowers blood pressure and improves blood flow.
Candesartan is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) in adults and children who are at least 1 year old. Lowering blood pressure can reduce the risk of stroke, heart attack, or other heart complications.
Candesartan is also used in adults with certain types of heart failure, to reduce serious complications or death due to heart damage.
Candesartan may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
Important Information

I read in your Spanish el Sentinel an article that started: "All of a sudden, the Puerto Ricans, who don't have the right to vote for the president of the United States, have become a decisive factor for the selection of the candidate who will represent the Democratic Party."
It also says that Puerto Rico will have its Democratic primary June 1 and it's expected that the popular vote could be a key factor in the national Democratic convention in August. I'm sure most of your English-speaking readers are not aware that Puerto Rico also has a primary.
I would like to know why this article didn't appear in your South Florida Sun-Sentinel.
I think that this is information that everyone should get, whether they are Puerto Rican or not, and by the way, I am.

I have two Windows 10 Pro computers, one a desktop and the other a laptop. The desktop computer works well, Windows Defender updates its virus definitions about when I log on in the morning, so always updated for the day. And this is automatic, I don't have to go to Windows Updates to get the latest Windows Defender update. There may or may not be intraday auto updates for Windows Defender virus definitions, but just having it update when I boot up my computer in the morning is very desirable. This is obviously what I want.
The laptop computer, when I look at the virus definition under "Update", I see that it is usually a day or 2 old. It doesn't update at the morning login, and I usually manually update the virus definitions as a result of the lack of auto updating.
So my question is obviously how do I get the laptop to update Windows Defender virus definitions automatically as often as my desktop. Both have the Anniversary Update, and I'm not aware of any differences in their Windows Update configurations.

Hello fellow floaters in space,
Our world is infinite. Not only is the outside world large beyond our capacities to understand, but our own inner universe is something that certainly has the same quality of unforgiving complexity.
The mind is, as many before me may have said, a universe on its own. It is the very thing that defines all you see outside yourself, and the outside in turn redefines and shapes the inside.
As an artist I attempt to delve within the inner regions of human consciousness, while also wanting to know as much as possible about the world that appears outside of myself.
I know that understanding all will never be possible with the limitations of the human being. But I think there is immense beauty in our passion to want to know. Our hunger for these things that do not feed our stomachs but our inner universes. It builds new regions, planets inside our mental galaxies. With everything we take in, we ourselves become larger. More vast. The inescapable end is less relevant then, because in this we can see the infinity of the universe itself. It is larger than we are, and yet we cannot imagine it without ourselves in it.
Art is relevant here, because where words in everyday language cease to make sense when you reach a certain level of understanding, the image, the poetry between the words we so desperately try to cling to, keep on speaking. The image is a reflection, and at the same time also an integral part of our inner world.
I hope I am making sense here, because as I said previously, the words are staring to lose their power. Poetry seeps in.
Many see art as something superfluous, a sort of decadent hobby one can pursue.
I want to tell you, it is not.
Art mimics the very pulse of our existence. It is a means of connecting inner universes, one person to another. It is a story, it provides your galaxies with more vastness.
It might scare you, because it digs out the dark matter inside of you. The nothingness, that makes up such a large part of who you are. But if you dare to take up the challenge to delve, to dive, to jump into this darkness, a deeper form of knowing is yours.
PS If you want to converse with me about this, drop me a line!

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'NDS - Flashcarts and Accessories' started by mike1984, Oct 19, 2007.
I have an R4. Which format is better to have and why?
Fat 16 is better for anything under 2GB for better cluster size.
I've heard 64kb clusters are better than 32kb, is this truth?
FAT16 with 64KB clusters reduces the available space of the memory card but runs fastest.
FAT16 for all small card(
Since everything under 2GB should be formatted to FAT 16, does that mean that if I get a 2GB Kingston I should format it to FAT 32 since it's not under 2GB?
Wondering this too.
everything upto (and including) 4gb should be formatted to fat16 with 64k cluster size.
Winxp doesn't let you do this under the gui but drop to the cli and type:
where X: is the drive you want to format.
I personally use FAT32 because of the sorting, but if you're after performance then FAT16 is what you should use. It will work fine for 2GB cards.
- Sam
I thought FAT32 was more versatile re:filenames and more space efficient?
Is FAT16 only better re:speed?
fat32 is more space efficient, fat16 is faster.
Formatting a 4gig memstick to fat32 would prolly save 15meg or so over fat16 but would be a lot slower.
I've tried both FAT16 and FAT32 on my 1gig cards and the difference isn't at all noticeable (using JPN Kingston SD Cards).
I have all mine at FAT32, now.
Ok. Thanx for the info. I don't notice any speed issues as is (currently FAT32) so I'll stick with the space saving (only a 2Gb card).
The difference is definitely noticable using an R4 with kingston jap/toshiba memory cards. Especially on that tony hill downhill jam game. Other carts probably use better access than the R4.
