The domestic box office took a dive in February, and the March lineup doesn't look strong enough to really turn things around.There are some bright spots coming up: movies like Oz The Great and Powerful and The Croods should tap in to the family audience that's been neglected so far this year, while G.I. Joe: Retaliation should deliver a late-month boost. Even if all of those movies over-perform, though, there's still no chance that March 2013 tops March 2012's record $943 million (led by The Hunger Games and The Lorax). March 1Four new nationwide releases hit theaters on the first weekend of March, though each one seems plagued by some kind of issue. The biggest one—and also the most problematic—is Jack the Giant Slayer, a mega-budget fantasy movie directed by X-Men's Bryan Singer. Originally titled Jack the Giant Killer and slated for June 2012, the movie was unceremoniously pushed back to March 2013 and given a softer title. Unfortunately, Jack now faces direct competition from Oz The Great and Powerful for family audiences, and Warner Bros.'s unenthusiastic marketing material makes it appear too childish for older audiences. There's a very slight chance it winds up beating last March's fantasy debacle John Carter ($73.1 million), though it won't go much higher.Also opening this weekend is 21 and Over, which finds three college students getting in to trouble while celebrating a 21st birthday party. The comedy is from the writers of The Hangover, though its box office prospects are more likely to match Project X, which opened on the same weekend last year. That movie debuted to $21 million on its way to $54.7 million, which is starting to seem slightly high for 21 and Over: the movie is pretty exclusively targeting a very small demographic (17 to 25-year olds, basically), and the buzz in the homestretch just doesn't seem high enough to match Project X's figures.Minor 2010 supernatural horror hit The Last Exorcism gets a sequel this weekend, though it's unlikely The Last Exorcism Part II can match its predecessor's $41 million total. While horror sequels in general tend to earn less than the original—look at The Grudge 2 or The Ring Two, for example—The Last Exorcism Part II is at an even greater disadvantage as a result of dropping the found footage conceit that was such a big part of the first movie's success. Distributor CBS Films is currently expecting an opening weekend at around half the level of the original's $20.4 million, which means the movie really won't have much of an impact on the box office. Finally, upstart distributor RCR is releasing submarine thriller Phantom in to over 2,000 theaters on the first weekend of March. While it stars recognizable actors Ed Harris and David Duchovny, it isn't really getting a substantial marketing push, and will therefore be a non-starter.March 8Oz The Great and Powerful could help cure the box office's ills when it opens on the second weekend of March. With its classic fantasy source material, heavy emphasis on CGI environments and characters, and 3D presentation, it's clear that Disney is hoping Oz can deliver results similar to their March 2010 sensation Alice in Wonderland ($334 million domestic, $1.02 billion worldwide). Alice had the appealing pairing of director Tim Burton and star Johnny Depp, though, and came out a time when 3D was red-hot thanks to the success of Avatar. Oz, on the other hand, has Sam Raimi and James Franco (not nearly as bankable as Depp/Burton) and has to combat Alice's middling reputation. Still, there's been almost nothing for family audiences so far in 2013, and Disney's marketing effort—which included a Super Bowl commercial—has positioned Oz as the first major event movie of 2013. As a result, Oz will almost certainly be March's highest-grossing movie with a total near $200 million. Crime thriller Dead Man Down also opens on the second weekend of March, though its box office prospects look very modest. Star Colin Farrell tends to be box office poison: just last year, Total Recall and Seven Psychopaths disappointed with $58.9 million and $15 million, respectively. Also, aside from some vague revenge-related discussion, FilmDistrict's marketing hasn't really presented a clear story for audiences to latch on to. Dead Man Down should do better than Psychopaths, though it would be shocking if it could even match FilmDistrict's 2011 crime thriller Drive ($35 million). March 15Magician comedy The Incredible Burt Wonderstone and Halle Berry thriller The Call go head-to-head on March 15, though it's unlikely that either is strong enough to keep Oz from repeating in first place. The Incredible Burt Wonderstone stars comedy icons Steve Carell and Jim Carrey as rival magicians in Las Vegas; the last time these two shared the screen, it was in 2003 blockbuster Bruce Almighty ($242.8 million). The movie's loud and silly characters with outlandish costumes/hairstyles brings to mind March 2007's ice staking comedy Blades of Glory, which earned $118.6 million. Unfortunately, Warner Bros.'s marketing effort for Burt Wonderstone has been oddly restrained so far, and coming anywhere close to Blades's gross seems out of the question at this point.Sony didn't add The Call to its release schedule until the beginning of January, which suggests they don't have great expectations (or investment) in the movie. And why should they? The last major release headlined by Halle Berry was 2007's Perfect Stranger, which tanked with just $24 million (despite also having Bruce Willis). Even with a modest marketing push, it's unlikely The Call winds up much better.Continued with a look at 'The Croods,' 'G.I.

Lee Westwood has increased his backing for his hometown football club, with a sponsorshop deal for all four Worksop Town sides.
The former world number one golfer will have his golf school's logo on the front of the home and away shirts for the first team, academy side, Under 19s and women's squad.
Simon Dainty, head of schools for the Lee Westwood Golf Academy, confirmed this week that the Worksop born and bred sports star wanted to continue his sponsorship of the world's fourth oldest football club.
It's the second successive season that Tigers have benefited from Westwood's financial support.
And chairman Kev Keep was over the moon.
He said: "Speaking with Simon Dainty, he said that Lee was happy to continue the sponsorship of the first team kit and would also include the three new teams under the same umbrella with the Westwood golf logo on all our players' kit.
"This is fantastic news for the club, the fans and Worksop people in general as a high profile sports person from Worksop has stepped up to the plate and sponsored the shirts for a second season, also increasing revenue.
"Working with the senior management at the golf academy, Simon and Gavin Hamlyn was a pleasure, they're fantastic people to work with."
The Westwood Academy will display the Worksop home and away shirts at their base in Cheshire.
The jerseys, which have remained exactly the same as last season in design, will boast the logos of Avery Dennison and Peacock Windows on the home and away versions respectively.
Avery Dennison will also sponsor the players' shorts, while local coach company Johnsons Tours will sponsor the tracksuits and Alexander Calder Financial Services the matchball for home games.
Keep added: "It shows that if we work as a team off the field as well as on it companies and sports personalities are prepared to invest and help us to achieve great things.
"I'm very proud to have secured the sponsorship deals for this great club."

The ministry of Jesus . . . happens in the space between the clinging and the yarning. if there is only clinging, then the words are only critical. If there is yearning, there is a chance that the words are energizing. The staggering work of Jesus – feeding, healing, casting out, forgiving – happened not to those who held on to the old order but to those who yearned because the old order had failed them. – Walter Brueggemann

Good morning and happy Saturday!
It's the most beautiful day outside and I can't wait for Hank to wake up so we can start our day. Here are some of our weekend plans:
a little downtown walk
hot apple cider
pumpkin carving
picking up some things for Henry's room
finishing painting the white trim
seeing "Hereafter" in the theater
I love the weekend so much and now that we're in one of the final few before H. is born it's pretty interesting to think about the fact that our weekends will never be the same again. Nowadays we wake up when we want, lounge around for awhile, and leisurely decide what we're going to do. Soon we will have a little guy dictating most of it. Pretty crazy change, but I'm excited.
I'm now in my 37th week of pregnancy and I can see that light at the end of the tunnel. Throughout this experience I've had no trouble sleeping, but recently, during the past week or so, I've begun to do the whole wake up every hour or two due to the baby moving or having to really, really use the bathroom. I'm not necessarily uncomfortable, but sleeping is just not happening. I feel like I go to work a zombie, and already I have SUCH respect for any Mom who is taking care of a baby and then going to work the next day. Hats off to you. Our baby isn't even here yet, and waking up every hour or two, and then having to put on a happy face and be pleasant and productive all day is not an easy task. In a way though I'm glad this is happening, because I feel like it's getting me ready for Henry to be here. I know I'm going to be super tired, but I also know that that stage won't be forever.
I also wanted to say thank you, thank you, thank you to all of you who responded to my "thoughts on thinking" post from the other day. I always wish I could click on each comment and respond to them individually- at times this is why I think about switching from this blogger format- but I wanted all of you to know that I read each comment and appreciated them all. It's amazing to share something, to make yourself a little vulnerable, and then realize that so many other people feel the same way. It's pretty neat that all of the visitors to this blog don't just get my point of view; they also get to read all of the thoughtful remarks from you wonderful people. Pretty amazing. So thank you from the bottom of my heart for the taking the time to not only just read my posts, but also taking the time to share a little bit of yourself.
We're heading out now, but I hope all of you have the best weekend. Enjoy everything about it! Relax, recharge, do something new and exciting. xoxo

Sounds like a lovely weekend! ;-) We're pumpkin carving as well! Enjoy!ReplyDelete
As for your comments, you could always change your comments to be from disqus.com so it's easier for you :)ReplyDelete
It sounds like you're going to have an awesome day, enjoy!
Congrats! You're so close!ReplyDelete
love the baby bump!ReplyDelete
Have a great weekend! I really didn't have trouble sleeping until the last part of my pregnancy too and then all of a sudden my legs would cramp up every night and I started having to pee like crazy. I hear that it's your body's natural way of training you to sleep light for when baby comes and preparing you mentally for the small amount of sleep you'll be getting (and don't worry about that, it really feels like nbd when you have a new baby to wake up to!)ReplyDelete
aaww, i hope you have a beautiful weekend, dear - and let us know how hereafter is! i'm curious... i love matt damon. :)ReplyDelete

So exciting! Babies! My sister is pregnant, and I'm just thrilled. Hopefully you will be done with work soon and get to relax just a bit before he gets here.ReplyDelete
Very nice indeed! Thanks for this!ReplyDelete

City Councilman Joel Wachs is trying to parlay his 22-year record at City Hall, his ties to the art world and ideas for change--including breaking up the Los Angeles school district--into a winning run for the mayor's office.
The strategy relies heavily on the personal mettle of the tireless Wachs, a regular fixture at mayoral candidate forums who also has proved to be one of the field's most combative members.
"Meeting people is what I like best about running," said Wachs, who has been counting votes since he was elected vice president of his junior class at George Washington High School in 1956 and UCLA student body president in 1961.
Wachs is seeking support from several constituencies: San Fernando Valley residents who are familiar with his record; parents who are unhappy with the schools, and artists, tenants, gays and senior citizens whose causes he has backed.

Moving On
I don't want to be here. I can't wait to move out of this house. That sounds terrible, I know. After all, it's a beautiful old building. I used to love it here but those days are gone and it's time for me to move on. Sometimes, that's just the right thing to do, you know? But I'm stuck. I can't go yet and it makes me crazy.

Hello Tuesday, I loathe you less than Monday but you are still not my favorite day of the week. So I'm just going to turn my head and not really pay attention to you, mmmmkay? But I can make you more tolerable by sharing a fantabulous polish with you. In April ellagee release this huge box full of a zillion indie brands and goodies and this gorgeous soft, shimmery yellow from Paint Box Polish was in there! I'm super happy to have this polish because yellow is a color that just makes me feel happy. I smile when I look at it. I don't think Pam has any bottles of Marshmallow Peeps left (don't quote me on that), but she has a really awesome polish collection that you should check out! I adore and recommend A Dragon Is Not A Slave (HERE), Pygmy Puffs and Fizzing Whizbees (HERE)! Alrighty then, let's take a look at Marshmallow Peeps!
*nothing to disclose*
Marshmallow Peeps is a soft yellow full of silvery shimmer. It has a really pretty and delicate look, soft like marshmallows. The shimmer, so pretty! The formula was a little patchy, I had to use 3 coats of even it out, but as you can see it turned out nice. I used topcoat to keep it shiny.
My accent nail is a Lumina Lacquer that I picked up in blog sale, called Carlene's Cupcake. It's a white base polish full of pastel glitters in different shapes. I used 3 coats and 1 layer of topcoat. The 2 polishes worked nicely together to create a perfect Spring mani.

Going backwards fast. Hope I can stop the trend today.
Weight slightly up again, ketones down to 0.4
I was hungry and I also lost the plot and became over emotional.... Hangry!
I have been eating 2-3 meals per day with some snacks. i might need to eat a little more often.
The goal is to just keep going. Tortoises do finish the race even if they seem to take a lot longer
I've begun using the cross-trainer again. Hawaiian music is doing it for me.

Stocks rally on strong corporate earningsKARACHI, Dec 18: Stocks ended higher with the cement, fertiliser and banking sector in the limelight as investors accumulated these stocks on hopes of strong corporate profits and on expectations of Coalition Support Fund (CSF) likely to be released soon, dealers said.
The KSE 100-share index ended 0.34 per cent, or 57.66 points, higher to 16,858.68 points. Turnover increased to 118.64 million shares compared with 91.59m shares on Monday. Trading value also rose by Rs1.2 billion to Rs3.7 billion from the previous value of Rs2.58bn.
Market capitalisation stood at Rs4.22 trillion from Rs4.21tr on Monday.
"Likely release of $700m under CFS, improvement in rupee value, came as a confidence building measure, thereby allowing the benchmark to consolidate further, the benchmark index despite restricted activity managed yet another historic session registering ever highest closing at 16,858," said Hasnain Asghar Ali from Escorts Capital Ltd.
According to reports, the Pentagon quietly notified Congress this month that it would reimburse Pakistan nearly $700 million for the cost of stationing 140,000 troops on the border with Afghanistan, an effort to normalise support for the Pakistani military after nearly two years.
This would also take off some pressure from the rupee which made a record low amid the country's depleting foreign exchange reserves.
"Fertiliser stocks remained under limelight after news of better than expected sales during this month. Institutional buying was again seen in heavyweight MCB Bank while some profit-taking was seen in Hubco," said Samar Iqbal, a dealer at Topline Securities Ltd.
Amongst the top gainers in the banking sector, MCB Bank rose Rs3.91 to Rs214.60, while Habib Bank Ltd gained Rs1.05 to Rs118.01.
Energy stock and the heaviest weighted company on the index, Oil and Gas Development Co Ltd also supported the market as it ended Rs1.64 higher at Rs189.60.
Banks are due to announce their year-end results in the coming weeks.
Foreign investors continued to cautiously buy shares this week as they bought shares worth a net $1.42m on Tuesday, compared with a net of $734,417 the previous trading session. However for the month, they remain net sellers of $827,667.
Individuals were the major buyers in the market as they bought equities worth $2.37m.
The biggest gainer was Wyeth Pakistan Ltd which rose Rs44.76 to Rs944.76, followed by Khyber Tobacco which ended Rs4.89 higher at Rs102.71.
Bata Pakistan witnessed the biggest loss for the day as it shed Rs74.50 to Rs1,451.50, followed by Colgate Palmolive, which shed Rs27 to close at Rs1,400.00.
The KSE-30 index ended 0.52pc, or 70.79 points, higher at 13,680.85.
Out of the 362 companies traded, the value of 167 increased, 175 decreased while 20 remained unchanged. Even though the share value of more companies declined than increased, it was the buying in heavyweights that resulted in a positive closing for the market.The cement and fertilizer sector dominated the 10 most active traded stocks: Hub Power Co Ltd fell 52 paisa to Rs43.98 on 10.35m shares, Jahangir Siddiqui Co Ltd shed 48 paisa to Rs16.22 on 9.53m shares and Byco Petroleum rose 15 paisa to Rs11.16 on 8.4m shares.
DG Khan Cement ended 57 paisa higher at Rs54.93 on 5.95m shares but Maple Leaf Cement witnessed some profit taking as it closed 10 paisa lower at Rs14.73 on 5.69m shares.
KESC fell 28 paisa to Rs6.06 on 4.45m shares, Fauji cement ended marginally lower by 10 paisa to Rs6.50 on 4.14m shares but Fauji Fertiliser Bin Qasim gained 44 paisa to Rs38.30 on 3.44m shares.
Engro Corporation rose 93 paisa to Rs94.07 on 3.42m shares and Pakistan Telecommunication Co Ltd ended 2 paisa lower at Rs17 on 3.11m shares.
Karachi stocks rise in cautious trading: KARACHI: Stocks rose on Friday, but the market remained dull as investors waited for a monetary policy announcement.
There was trading in banking stocks amid expectations of expected payouts and activity in cement stocks as traders anticipated a cut in interest rates from the state bank of Pakistan, said dealer Nausheen Kiran at Al-Hoqain Securities.
Around 174 companies closed higher while 158 closed lower, said a trader.
The Karachi Stock Exchange's (KSE) benchmark 100-index closed at 16,845.09, up 0.23 percent or 38.51 points from the previous session.
Maple Leaf Cement rose 6.59 percent, or 0.93 rupee, to 15.05 per share while D.G. Khan Cement was up 0.29 percent, or 0.16 rupees, to 54.40 per share.

KSE broker fined: LAHORE, Dec 18: The Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) has imposed a fine of Rs100,000 on Live Securities Limited, a broker of the Karachi Stock Exchange (KSE), for refusing to cooperate with its inspectors conducting inspection of the broker's books of accounts and other documents.

The order says the Live Securities did not cooperate with the inspectors by not providing information and documents as required by them. "The non-cooperation placed limitation over the inspectors' ability to conclude their report in respect of the broker's compliance status with applicable regulatory framework," it added.
The broker had also not submitted any written statement in response to the show-cause notice from the commission. But its representatives during the course of hearing apologised for the delay in providing information and reiterated that the delay was not intentional and repeatedly explained the circumstances causing the delay.
The representatives committed to providing the required documents and information within short time and also assured the commission to fully cooperate in completing the inspection.
They also promised to provide any information and data as required by the commission in fulfilment of its regulatory obligations.

Motorcycle Basic Controls
Motorcycle controls can be a very confusing and overwhelming thing to understand for somebody who is learning about them for the first time. Whenever I ask somebody the question "what controls are on a motorcycle, and where are they found on the vehicle", I get answers similar to there is a lever on the left and right and some pegs on the sides. If that would be your answer to the question then this is the article for you.
Many people have a desire to go and learn how to ride a motorcycle because to be honest with you, they are extremely fun to ride! I have wanted to get my motorcycle license since I was about 12 years old, and now at 22 years old, I went out and got it. I would recommend reading this article on motorcycle basic controls to anybody who has absolutely any desire to get on a motorcycle in the near future. This will give you a general idea of what each control is, where it is located, and what it does.
First and foremost, it is only fair to give you a general idea of the complexity of the controls by comparing them to an automatic car. The maximum amount of basic controls that need to be used at once in an automatic car is 2; whether it is steering and accelerating, steering and braking, or depressing the brake and shifting the car into drive. Comparable to a motorcycle, which uses 4 basic controls nearly all of the time; those four controls can be nearly any four from a selection of throttle, front brake, rear brake, clutch, and gear selector. It is easy to see why somebody should read this article to get a general idea of the motorcycle basic controls before even starting the engine of a motorcycle.
Clutch Lever
The clutch lever is located on the left handlebar, and is used in a similar way as the front brake on a bicycle. This is the most necessary of the motorcycle basic controls, as it is necessary to get the vehicle in motion. The job of the clutch is to attach and detach the transmission from the engine so that the gears may be changed effectively. In order to use the clutch you must depress the lever towards the handle bar; when the clutch lever is depressed the transmission is detached from the engine so that the gear may be changed, and vica-versa follows when the lever is left away from the handlebar.
TIP: more control of the clutch depression can be gained by placing your index and middle fingers on the outside of the lever, while leaving your ring and pinky fingers on the inside of the lever.
Front Brake Lever
The front brake lever is located on the right handlebar, and is used in similar ways as the rear brake lever on a bicycle. This is the most important out of all of the motorcycle basic controls, as it will determine most of your stopping power on the vehicle.The job of the front brake lever is to depress the brake pads on the front brake disc so that the motorcycle ultimately slows down. In order to use the front brake you must depress the lever towards the handle bar; the more that the lever is depressed, the more pressure will be placed on the brake discs from the brake pads.
FACT: 70 percent of a motorcycle's braking power is found in the front brake, making this lever the most crucial of the two; however, it is still important to always use both brakes together!
Throttle Handle
The throttle handle is located at the end of the right handlebar. This requires the most discipline out of all of the motorcycle basic controls, as this will determine how fast you make the vehicle go. The job of the throttle handle is to control the amount of power that the engine is exerting, which will ultimately determine how much power is being transferred to the rear wheel. To use the throttle handle you must rotate your wrist towards your body; the more that you rotate your wrist, the more power will be exerted to the engine.
Gear Selector
The gear selector is located immediately in front of the left foot peg; it is placed in a location so that your left foot has complete access to it when it is resting on the peg. This is the most delicate out of all of the motorcycle basic controls, as the slightest push will put the vehicle in an entirely different gear. The role of the gear selector on a motorcycle is to control what gear the transmission is in, which will ultimately control how much torque is being made available to the engine, and how much stress is being placed on the engine and transmission. The brake lever can be used by placing your foot either on the top or the bottom of it and placing pressure to move it in the direction of your choice. Almost all motorcycles have the gears in the following order from bottom to top: 1, Neutral, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
TIP: an easy way to remember the controls of the gear selector when starting a motorcycle in the neutral position is "1 down, rest up"; the first gear is a downward push from the neutral position and the rest are upwards pushes.
Rear Brake Pedal
The rear brake pedal is located immediately in front of the right foot peg; for safety and convenience reasons it is placed in a location so that your right foot has complete control of it when resting on the right foot peg. This is also important in the world of motorcycle basic controls, as it will secondarily determine how much stopping power you have. The role of the rear brake pedal is to depress the brake pads on the rear brake disc so that the motorcycle ultimately slows down. In order to use the rear brake you must place your foot on top of the pedal and depress is downwards towards the ground; the more that the pedal is depressed, the more pressure will be placed on the brake discs from the brake pads.
FACT: 30 percent of a motorcycle's braking power is found in the rear brake, making this pedal the least crucial of the two; however, it is still important to always use both brakes together!
These are all of the motorcycle basic controls, as they are absolutely necessary to use to even get the motorcycle in motion. There are many other motorcycle basic controls such as turn signals, headlights, and much more; however these are referred to as advanced controls. I hope that this article will allow you to see like a professional the first time that you take a seat on a motorcycle by understanding all of the motorcycle basic controls and their role in the motorcycle's line of motion.

Taken on a Nikon D90.
Good morning. I'm starting off my day with a flip through of Oyster Issue 92, a catch up of twitter and google reader along with an incredibly strong coffee (I usually add milk, today I felt a little bit risqué and had it black. Quelle horreur!)

There are some motor vehicle collisions where you can tell with a single glance which party was at fault. And then there are some which require a lot more investigation and information before liability can be assigned – and even then, questions may still exist as to who was responsible.
An auto-pedestrian accident with bus which occurred Thursday afternoon in suburban Chicago falls into that latter category. About 12:15pm, a westbound Pace Suburban Bus reportedly "made contact" with a man on Madison Street near the intersection of Harlem Avenue. That location is about a half mile north of the Eisenhower Expressway, and right on the border between Oak Park and Forest Park. The rear of the #318 North Avenue bus struck the man and then ran over his legs, and the victim was transported to Loyola University Hospital in nearby Maywood.Here's another caveat to complicate matters: the man was visually impaired. As you can see, it is virtually impossible to assign blame in this auto-pedestrian accident with bus based on these facts alone. Some of the questions which must be answered include
- Was the man in a crosswalk or attempting to cross at an intersection?
- Were there audible signals of some sort which were instructing the man to enter the street?
- How "visually impaired" is the man? Can he see shapes and lights, or is he completely blind?
- Was the man being assisted by another person or a service animal?
- Did the bus have the right of way?
- Did the driver see the victim at all prior to impact?
- How did the rear of the bus first make contact with the victim (and not the front)? Was the bus turning or going in reverse? Or did the man wander into the moving bus?
Presumably, these questions and others will be answered in the subsequent investigation by police. The results of the probe could affect whether the bus driver, Pace, or even the cities of Oak Park and Forest Park will be named as defendants in a future wrongful death lawsuit.

WRITING WITH DYSLEXIA by Samantha Bayarr
Most know me as the author to Fabulosity Reads and in actual fact, that is the previous name of this blog. I have since then moved my books to a Wordpress self-hosted blog so that I can have a place to show a different side of me which I am equally passionate about and that is marketing and personal development. I hope you will love being here, watching me grow as I share and learn. My highest hope is that we will grown and learn together in all disciplines affecting our lives. I'd LUUURRRVE to hear from you, so don't be shy...

Welcome to SA dear, here's wishing you and your family a marvelous Christmas and New year!ReplyDelete
Welcome back, Wendy.ReplyDelete
Samantha, it's amazing the things we take for granted that are huge challenges for others. I lift my hat to you. Enjoy the holidays!
Thank you ladies.ReplyDelete
Wow Samantha, I have a brother who's dyslexic as well, so I know from his experience how hard it is to write.ReplyDelete
I think it's wonderful that you wrote whole books, since I'm pretty sure that many people in your life tried to convince you that you couldn't. I know my brother hates reading because his teachers told him he was stupid when he knew he wasn't.
All the best for your future projects!
And hey Wendy, welcome home. ;-) Have a blessed Christmas and a prosperous new year. X
Thanks for the support ladies!ReplyDelete

I hope all of my readers had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I think that Thanksgiving is the one holiday that has not been co-opted by commercialism. It's still all about good food and family. We spent the day doing a jigsaw puzzle and playing Settlers Of Cattan (our favorite board game) in between preparing and consuming some great food.
I know I will seem a bit nuts but I actually got some canning done too. Here's the thing. I get my turkeys from Diemand Farm. It's not a cheap bird. A fifteen pound turkey was almost &50.00. That is a lot of money but the birds are free-range and the money goes to support a local farmer. I order mine from The Creamery so they get a cut and some needed support as well. I can certainly get a much cheaper turkey at the supermarket but the money goes into the industrial ag system and I just can't make myself do it. Nine of ate together and the five guests are serious eaters. For just Myself, Bruce and the girls, this would have been two full meals. I have enough turkey left over for dinner this evening. I also found myself with a big carcass and a lot more meat. Turkey doesn't hold that well and there isn't a lot of room in the fridge so I decided that, as we were in the kitchen playing Settlers anyway, I would run the 5 quarts of broth and meat through the AA and be done with it. I had already simmered up the stock with the carcass, the water left from cooking the vegetables, an onion, a few stalks of celery and a carrot. It was no trouble to fill the jars and let them do their thing and the result were cooling on the counter when we went to bed. Altogether, I will get 7 meals from this turkey. Let us not forget that I cooked the giblets and made a wonderful, meaty gravy from them and I have a quart of that left for another meal. In fact, my family's favorite meal is the strata I make tomorrow with layered mashed potatoes, stuffing and gravy. So that makes 8 meals or 32 servings. $50.00 for 32 serving sound like quite a bargain to me. The trick is to let nothing go to waste. I even pulled the meat off the neck.
The rest of meal was home-grown. I did have to buy celery, shipping cream, pecans and corn syrup for my pie but very little else. We drank cider and herb tea. I must say the meal was excellent. I bought an extra turkey that I put in the freezer. I'll thaw it one day next week and can the whole thing.
While the rest of the world is shopping I will be helping Ben and Maggie load up the wheat they have been storing here and get it moved to their new home which boasts and very dry basement. I'm also taking the girls for flu shoots and ordering butter from the Creamery. I get a price cut if I order case lots. I use a fair amount of butter and I want the good stuff but butter is one of the things I notice a significant price increase on. I will put the case in my freezer.
We are all pet sitting this weekend. We're minding cats, dogs and chickens. The chickens are best because we get to keep all the eggs. I'm going to make popovers again. They take minutes and are probably Phoebe's favorite food. Topped with some raspberry jelly they're fantastic.
I did want to mention that the cranberry sauce was a hit. It was fairly easy to make with the steam juicer. It's less sweet than Ocean Spray and lighter in color. Nobody complained and we polished off a good deal of it.

Taco Bell Promotes Gluttony
Taco Bell is now promoting "the fourth meal." They created the "the meal between dinner and breakfast," to try to keep their share of the late night drunk-food market. The fourth meal concept revolves around the four taste/texture profiles Taco Bell offers: melty, crunchy, spicy and grilled.
Taco Bell has been in the drunk food market for a long time, but they have a lot of new competitors. Many McDonald's are now open 24 hours a day, Wendy's has been open until 1 a.m. for years, and even Sonic now stays open until midnight during the summer.
There is good reason everyone wants a piece of the drunk food pie. The average ticket of daytime fast-food consumer is $4.43 compared to and average ticket of $6.22 for late night fast-food consumers.
Taco Bell is pushing fourth meal hard. They've focused on it in every recent commercial, created an interactive Web site and even their bags promote their fourth meal concept. They are doing a good job promoting their baby, but the concept is based in American gluttony.
What other country eats four meals a day? Even in this country there are many families just trying to put food on the table. So promoting a fourth meal seems to encourage a country that is already obese. I'm don't doubt that this tactic will produce results. In fact, I'm confident it will help them grow their share in the drunk food market. And they are certainly right to go after this market, but the concept of the fourth meal promotes greediness and obesity to an extreme.
Tace Bells says, "If it's not fourth meal, it's just food. Many impoverished people would say, "I don't need four meals, I just need some food."

There's been a lot of debate on whether the world is round, flat, or spiral like cheese doodles. Due to recent discoveries about our solar system I'm going to explore all the current hypotheses and share my opinion on which I believe.
In January 2016 researchers at Caltech discovered the existence of a 10th planet in our solar system. The planet currently dubbed "Planet X" has only been confirmed through mathematical modeling and computer simulations. Researchers have posted a video requesting amateur astronomers to search the night skies for the missing planet. The reason that I call the new planet the 10th planet and not the 9th like mainstream media is reporting, is due to cosmology. When I was growing up Pluto was the ninth planet in the solar system. Therefore I still consider it a planet.
Back in 1999 I read a book called the 12th Planet by Zecharia Sitchin. The book is the first in a series called The Earth Chronicles. In the book Zecharia explains the creation story of civilization and our solar system from ancient deciphered Sumerian tablets. On the cover of the book is a diagram of our solar system from the outside (beyond Pluto) heading in towards the sun. That's the only way interstellar travelers (without wormhole technology) could reach earth from a distant planet. The diagram shows the entire cosmology of our solar system which is nine planets, our moon, sun and "Planet X" which they called Nibiru. According to ancient cosmology the newly discovered planet is actually a rediscovery of the planet Nibiru that was known in antiquity.
Now with that juicy tidbit of information let's explore a few of the current theories about our earth. The two main theories being debated are whether or not the earth is round like a ball or flat like a carpet. I'm not a dismissive person, BUT the flat earth theory has zero credibility. Since every other planet, moon, and celestial body in the universe has a circular shape it is reasonable to believe earth has the same shape. Also, the description of the earth from pre-history has always been a sphere. If someone can show undeniable proof that the earth is flat, then I will change my opinion. Until then the earth is round.
The second theory is that the earth is round. As I mentioned above, all celestial bodies excluding comets and asteroids are spheres. To me this isn't a theory it's a fact. The last and more scientifically plausible theory is that the earth is hollow. The "Hollow Earth" theory is as old as humanity and has been documented for thousands of years. Some Tibetan, African, South and North American ethnic groups claim their ancestors came from subterranean realms inside the earth. In 1692 Edmond Halley hypothesized the Earth consisted of a hollow shell about 800 km (500 miles) thick, two inner concentric shells and an inner core, about the diameters of the planets Venus, Mars, and Mercury. Internal atmospheres separate these shells, and each shell has its own magnetic poles. Although it sounds far-fetched, current science has given this antiquated hypothesis traction.
Back in 2007 seismologists from Washington University in St. Louis, discovered a huge water reservoir beneath the Earth's crust in Asia. The body of water was estimated to be larger than the Arctic ocean. More recent investigation has shown the amount of water inside the earth's mantle is larger than all the oceans combined. Aside from water there are entrances to the interior of the earth at both the north and south pole. These specific areas are restricted for commercial flight and heavily guarded by the military. One of the most famous cases for the "Hollow Earth," theory is the diary of Admiral Richard Byrd. Admiral Byrd was a highly decorated US Naval officer whose diary documented his 1947 expedition to the North Pole. During that exposition he discovered lush forests, wild-life and even a woolly mammoth. Entrances into the poles can be viewed by satellite photos of earth.
I won't go into more detail because this subject has been thoroughly covered by many writers before me. I wrote this post providing an alternative perspective to the two hypothesis being promoted by the mainstream. Below are some videos that expand upon the subject. I don't claim to have the answers. I just like proposing questions. Like..."If there's nothing to hide at the poles, why are citizens restricted from investigating them?"
The one thing I know for certain is ..."The truth is sometimes stranger than fiction."

Accurate calculation of required bollard pull contributes to the safety of operations
Incidents in anchor handling and towing are often due to insufficient capacity of tugs deployed in the operation. Enough bollard pull capacity is of utmost importance also consideration should be given for risk analyses to assure that a tow is safe in multi tug towages also when a tug fails. The objectives of IMO Guide Lines for safe ocean towing are to ensure safety at sea, prevention of human injury or loss of life.

HMC uses OpenFOAM to simulate maritime structures
Simulating structures in a maritime environment presents a unique challenge to analyzing free surface flows. Effective analysis provides valuable insight to evaluating design decisions. HMC uses OpenFOAM within our projects. Container ships are constantly becoming larger and are required to carry more loads and travel at faster speeds. Therefore it is vital to the development of these huge structures that accurate methods of obtaining design data are established.

HMC performs risk assessments and security management
Risk can loosely be defined as being the chance, in quantifiable terms, of a hazard occurrence. It therefore combines a probabilistic measure of the occurrence of an event with a measure of the consequence or impact of that event. Besides technical engineering work, we are also capable to perform extensive risk studies for offshore related subjects. HMC has the knowledge and the experience to accurately perform risk studies regarding offshore installations such as wind turbines or oil platforms.

New requirements for on-board stability instruments for tankers will be effective
Tankers are facing changes in the rules regarding loading computers. The new resolution MEPC.248(66) enters into force on the 1st of January 2016 and from that date each tanker owner has to make sure all vessels comply with the adopted regulations. During the last meeting of the Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC), the committee decided to strengthen the rules for tankers regarding damage stability. For quite some time all new tankers have been fitted with a loading computer that can calculate damage stability. However there is also significant proportion of sailing tonnage that either does not have damage stability or has a damage calculation module that is not approved by Class. Oil tankers, chemical tankers and gas carriers constructed before January 1, 2016 must also comply with the requirements at the first applicable scheduled renewal survey of the ship after January 1, 2016, but not later than January 1, 2021.

OHGC vessels (Open-Top) will increases flexibility of the vessel
An Open Hatch General Cargo (OHGC) is a vessel-type designed to transport forestry products, bulk, unitized cargoes, project cargoes and containers. The vessel is typically fitted with two Gantry cranes for self-loading and unloading. Different equipment is connected to the gantry crane depending on cargo type as vacuum clamps for paper, unihook for unitised cargo, container frame and grab for bulk cargoes. Cargo holds are box shaped to fit containers and some holds can be equipped with tweendecks. Holds are typically equipped with dehumidifier for sensitive cargo. Hatch covers for holds are opened and closed by mean of gantry crane. Space on those hatch covers can also be used to carry containers, lumber or project cargoes. Open top or hatchless (container) ships are ships without hatch covers. This will decrease the loading and unloading times and increase the flexibility of the ship. Because heavy rain and shipping water implies large quantities of water inside the cargo holds, additional requirements are specified. The interim IMO guidelines, which were published in 1994, specify amongst others the allowable amount of water in the holds and the minimum pump capacity. These guidelines also specify seakeeping model tests in order to quantify the amount of water entering the cargo holds in severe weather conditions.

Determining loads and fatigue on maritime structures (MQK)
Interaction with waves and wind results in cyclic mechanical loads on maritime structures. Even for mechanical loading far below the yield stress, cyclic loads can result in fatigue. A sufficient fatigue life therefore has to be guaranteed during the design of the structure. This requires accurate knowledge of the environmental load cycles.

Design of sea fastening is very important
Sea fastening is the method of securing cargoes or equipment on a vessel or barge with the aim of preventing any movement whilst the vessel is in transit and subject to the motions and accelerations caused by environmental conditions. In general terms, whenever a vessel is sailing it will be subjected to the six degrees of freedom which are heaving, swaging, surging, pitching, yawing and rolling.

EcoTrim can reduce costs up to 5%
Fuel is by far the largest operating cost for many ship owners. With the increase of fuel prices and the more stringent environmental regulations, ship-owners and operators are searching for ways to lower their operating expenses and emissions. How the ship is trimmed has significant impact on the amount of power and fuel needed. Read the full article in HMC's Maritime Business Applications newsletter (Q4 2013).

HMC is proud to be involved in an enormous project as the $5.2 billion project of the expansion of the Panama Canal
Our part in this magnificent project is the delivery of the complete transport engineering which led to the successful transportation of the first sets of four voyages to be completed. The first set of Panama locks were transported from Trieste, Italy and are now off-loaded onto a temporary dock on the Atlantic side of the waterway. The arrival of the first set of new gates comes as the expansion nears the end of its sixth year of construction. The completion of our transport engineering part is not to be underestimated. It took some time to modify the heavy transport vessel to comply with all applicable regulations and raised questions in our participation in the DNV workgroup of Heavy Lift and Transportation.
The arrival of the gates is one of the most visible aspects of the total project and HMC is very proud to show the industry how important good engineering can be in voyages like this. In 2014, the Panama Canal has his 100th birthday and the total project of the renovation and enlargement is scheduled to be completed. For now HMC looks forward to the second load out of the Panama lock gates which will take the completion of the Panama Canal expansion to the next level.

Last month, I got some slack for posting on Port Authority accidents. Folks said it's just normal wear and tear because we have so many buses roaming the streets. I countered by saying that I don't want your-average-joe driving my bus. I've never managed to kill someone, and if you manage to kill someone while driving, you should not be driving a bus. I don't want to deter folks from taking the bus, but I still have the right to demand high standards for my bus drivers.
So far in June, we have two pedestrian victims:
June 2: A man was in critical condition after surgery because he "was running to catch the bus when he fell and was doubled over as the bus ran over him."
June 14: An elderly man "started running after the bus and was banging on its side, Ritchie said. He fell beneath the back of the articulated bus — a long vehicle with accordion-like joints — and was run over." This man died.
According to Port Authority spokesman Jim Ritchie, these tragedies are under investigation.
"In some cases, the investigation shows that our drivers did something that wasn't by the book. When that happens, they're cited or something is done internally," he said.

Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall's Veg-centric 5 Essentials for Home Cooks
If you're one of our UK readers, then Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall will likely need no introduction. And to a certain extent, American readers may be familiar with many of his cookbooks published here from 10 Speed Press (River Cottage Meat, River Cottage Fish and River Cottage Veg have been reviewed by The Kitchn.) It is my hope that many more Americans discover this passionate cook, writer, and activist and become inspired, as I have, to cook with fresh ingredients sourced as locally as possible.
For just a hint of the enthusiastic and delicious ideas that come from this very creative and exuberant cook, read on for Hugh's 5 essential things for the home cook.
River Cottage, Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall's farm/canteen/TV show/cookery school, began back in 1998 when Hugh launched three television series: Escape to River Cottage, Return to River Cottage and River Cottage Forever. Chronicling his adventures in moving to a small farm (called a smallholding in Great Britain) in Dorset, the premise was to see if he could support himself on what he grew and raised there. Soon the concept expanded, moving to Devon and adding more TV shows, three canteens, and a cookery school.
On top of the tremendous achievement of growing River Cottage into an exciting and relevant organization, Hugh is a food activist and has run campaigns in England to support humanely and sustainably raised meat, poultry, and fish. He has also helped to encourage an overwhelmingly popular return to tending an allotment, the British equivalent of community garden plot. As lists for an available plot grew to a several year wait, Hugh organized Landshare, a website where people looking for land to plant vegetables (and even raise a few animals!) could find people looking to offer land . At over 70,000 members, it's been another successful venture for the River Cottage team.
Currently, the TV series which got all of this started are not available for viewing in the US, although occasionally you can catch a video on YouTube. Hugh hinted that they're working on that, so hopefully as his books continue to gain popularity here, we may see more of this exuberant and charming fellow.
Meanwhile, I'm dreaming of the day I can dine at one of the River Cottage Canteens in Dorset or perhaps even take one of their cookery workshops. Of course, they may be stuck with me because something tells me I may never leave!
Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall's 5 Essentials for the Home Cook
- Swap and shuffle.
"Don't feel hidebound by recipes," says Hugh. "If you don't have an ingredient on hand, feel free to shuffle it out for another. Swap a carrot for a parsnip, blue cheese for goat's cheese, strawberries for raspberries. Various leafy greens and chards, a leek for an onion, a root for a root. Go with the flow — swap and shuffle!"
- Don't always lead with meat and fish.
"Don't get me wrong. I think meat and fish are great, but we don't need to fuss if they're not in the fridge. If you stock up on grains, pulses, nuts and spices, and bring home fresh veg, you have an unlimited amount of fantastic recipes to choose from." Hugh feels we eat too much meat and should stop having it dominate our plates. "A little leftover meat is great if you have it, to use as a seasoning, but it's not necessary."
- Anything you can do with meat, you can do with vegetables.
One way to wean yourself from the 'tyranny of meat' is to expand your thinking around cooking vegetables. "Remember that all of your equipment, all the know-how you have for cooking meat, can be applied to vegetables as well," says Hugh. "You can barbecue onions, roast roots, deep fry pulse (legume) patties."
- Consider the potato ricer.
"The potato ricer makes the best, creamiest, most delicious mash," says Hugh. "But it's also great for squeezing the water out of greens. I take a bunch of greens (kale, chard, etc.) and quickly blanch them, for maybe one minute, just to take them down a bit. Then stuff them into the ricer and give a squeeze to extract as much water as possible. Heat some oil in a pan, add a little garlic and maybe some cumin, and then throw in the greens to heat them up. What you have in just a few minutes is a lovely plate of greens, somewhat Moorish in flavor. I use my ricer several times a week, and not just for potato mash!"
- Go beyond the fruit bowl.
"We can get rather lazy with the fruit bowl," says Hugh. "Fruit is very versatile and can be used in savory as well as sweet dishes. Use it with fish and meat, put it into savory salads, plump raisins with apple juice and use them in a salad of roots and leaves."
Bonus: Like many of our Expert Essential interviewees, Hugh believes that people should grow at least some of their own food. "I am becoming very passionate about encouraging people to move away from our dependance on industrially produced food. We are physically and emotionally dependent on corporations to grow and cook our food and we've got to establish some self-sufficiency from that. Growing even one herb plant is an act of defiance; it means that you are no longer 100% dependent on strangers to grow what you eat.
"When you grow your own food, you're naturally more in tune and then you naturally want to know more, do more. Anyone can grow their own food. If the only thing you can manage is a window box, grow your own herbs. Even it's just one tomato plant or a row of cut-and-come-again salad, the smallest act can lead to a tremendous sense of self-sufficiency."

The Undead Against You- Surfin' RIP
Surf Goth circa 2005 from Melbourne, Australia. Featuring LJWAR (Lisa Jean Warbrick) and Talkshow Boy. I love this song a lot, especially this line:
"How I love the way you let me do things to you that you never let me do when you were still alive"
Yep. Bullseye.

Sorry for the hiatus but I don't know what's been up with me lately! It's been all so weird and incongruent. This is just a quickie but I thought that I'd show off a little by posting a picture of what I wore my new heels with (the Bally ones I was talking about before).
On Clarice: Bebe dress, Bally 'Ilya' heels, Gucci bag
A little close up of the dress I wore. I thought it was really cute because it's a modern twist on the classic 1920s flapper dresses. I know that vintage is all the rage! It was great for a night out too. I promise I'll update again soon!
What do you guys think of my new bangs?
Frankly, I needed a change...

Is it possible to be successful in Coding Boot Camp while working 40 hours a week ?
As our courses meet 50 hours a week from 8am-6pm, and recommended time spent out of class studying on your own is 10+ hours, I strongly recommend not working 40 hours a week as well.
We do have living expense loans available through our lenders though to cover bills, food, etc and offer free housing for students who live more than 50 miles from campus making it very possible to quit your job so you can focus on the program.
Additionally our students are finding employment within 30 days of finishing their courses on average, often time sooner.
Yes, it is possible. I work for the first online data science bootcamp (www.k2datascience.com).
We tell students to cancel all social events and avoid any vacations or trips. You go to work and you study data science. That is the sacrifice that is necessary to maintain your income and successfully transition careers.
Bootcamps in their very nature are supposed to be intense. They are designed to get you up to speed on key concepts of Computer Science, and the amount of knowledge and experiences you are supposed to take on should take up the majority of your time. There may be programs out there that are designed for students that plan to maintain a full-time job, but I believe it would cease to be considered a 'bootcamp.' I attended a school in San Francisco, Holberton, that is two-years long as opposed to just a few months. It is still recommended that students dedicate 100% of their time to the school for the first nine months, but I do know that some students have attempted to hold down part-time jobs. It has been difficult for most students, but every once in a great while you will come across a student that can handle both at the same time.
Coding Bootcamps start at 9 o'clock in the morning and finish at 6 o'clock in the evening. So ... you can't be at two places at the same time. Unless you work the other hours of the 24-hour clock.
However, you can still continue your work and take online coding courses like the one at https://www.techcareerbooster.com/online. They require, at least, 15 hours per week, which is very doable. They are designed for those particular students that they want to work at the same time. They assign to you a mentor which follows you throughout the whole journey of your studies. And there is a big difference to bootcamp: You don't have to pay the whole amount in advance. You pay as you go and you take only the parts of the course that you want. Nevertheless, they do have the exams and they give you a certificate of completion.
You can sign up, since they do not ask money for that. You will see their curriculum and you can decide.
