Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Politics, Religion, Social Issues' started by mactastic, Jan 14, 2005.
Somebody should introduce the US admin to the ends of their noses
David B. Low is well advised to start polishing up his resumé.
I saw this story on CNN. It just puts yet another official stamp on our worst fears: that Bush is such an ass, he ends up causing the very problems he claims he's trying to solve.
(It doesn't end with foreign policy, either, of course. I can't wait to see what happens to Social Security if he has his way.)
So...how will the neo-cons explain this finding? Is the CIA still infiltrated with liberal contrarians who don't support the president (in spite of the recent purge)? Or has the "liberal media" somehow distorted the CIA's report?
One thing's for sure: IJ is right. This guy Low has just put himself on Bush's s--- list.
maybe bush's legacy will be that of the Self-Fulfilling Prophecy:
1. iraq _did_ become a breeding ground for terrorists
2. social security _did_ become a financial crisis
what else we got?
Ask any of the 9/11 widows and they'll tell you as much. He talks a good game, and over half of us fell for it. But his words do not match his actions, and he does wind up making things worse.
Worse, watching him talk right now on 20/20, he actually believes his own hype. Probably the only way he can sleep at night. But as everyone knows, the road to Hell is paved with good intentions.
I'm so glad Jean Chretian had the good sense not to join the Coalition of the Idiots. Canada is safe from the terrorists' crosshairs.
You are safer... for now. I'd remind you of this quote:
While I applaud your country's intelligence in not joining us in this foolhardy Iraq war, I wouldn't go so far as to say you are forever safe from terrorism because you stayed out. Was not your country involved in chasing the Taliban from Afghanistan? That will not be forgotten, neither by us nor by them. You're safe for now because there are FAR more tempting targets available.
Canada has a history of being a peaceful nation. Our political system is so peaceful, it is almost boring. We gained our sovereignty from England through patience and diplomacy.
The world supported actions in Afghanistan, since Bin Laden was the mastermind behind the 9/11 attacks. That was the right thing to do, so really it was the world in support of America vs the talibans.
And do you think bin Laden didn't notice that Canada was a part of the force that came after him?
I'm not saying you're in imminent danger, but if things somehow were to go badly for the rest of the world would Canada be left alone? You're not an Islamic theocracy...
And, it seems, by denying reality. Name your sovereign.
Now, now... don't scare the Canadian. After all thanks to Bush AND Blair, they may be the only friends we have left. That, and I'm sure they're a little afraid of us. I doubt they'll admit it, but I wouldn't blame them.
I wouldn't blame them either. Anyone with any sense would be afraid when there's a madman with an M16 in the next room...
Ah... but her role as queen of Canada is separate from her role as queen of the UK
Presumably she's the Dominatrix of Canada...Canada being a Dominion and all.
I can picture it now - though I don't really want to...
Margaret Thatcher naked on a cold day!
Margaret Thatcher naked on a cold day!
Thatcher may have been a Dominatrix, but she was never Queen. Just as well, really.
Are you certain? I always figured Ronald Reagan would have made a better King than President. You know, smile, wave, make innocuous speeches and have no real political power?
I liked his speech on suppose there was ufo's then us and the ruskies would be buddies and wall could come down....look what happened interesting isnt it.

Asylum Research Installs First Cypher AFM in Mexico
|(Nanowerk News) Asylum Research, the technology leader in scanning probe/atomic force microscopy (AFM/SPM), announces that it has installed the first Cypher AFM in Mexico at the Instituto Nacional de Investigaciones Nucleares (ININ) facility in Salazar. The system was installed by personnel from Micra Nanotecnologia and Asylum Research in the lab of Dr. Manuel Espinosa at ININ. Dr. Espinosa's group will use Cypher to investigate new materials, and to study archeological materials and art restoration processes. This work will include internal projects as well as collaboration projects with other national research institutes and universities.
|ININ, Asociación Mexicana de Microscopía, Micra Nanotecnologia and Asylum Research are also co-sponsoring a Mexico Atomic Force Microscopy Seminar at ININ's Ocoyoacac facility, July 19-22. Micra Nanotecnologia invites existing and prospective AFM users to attend the Seminar and/or to contact them for more information or a Cypher demonstration (Carlos Segovia, +52 (55) 8502-5000, [email protected]).
|Carlos Segovia, President of Micra Nanotecnologia, Asylum's representative in Mexico, Argentina, and Central America, commented, "We are excited about our first Cypher installation in Mexico, and Dr. Espinosa is especially gratified since his new Cypher is also the first AFM at the ININ. We welcome everyone interested in AFM to attend our Seminar at ININ to learn more about AFM and to see Cypher in action."
|Added Dr. Espinosa of ININ, "Our new Cypher AFM is the first one of its kind in Mexico. This instrument is being applied in the study of surface measurements of nanomaterials like nanocatalysts, nanotubes, metallic nanowires, bimetallic nanoparticles, ionic crystals doped with rare earths, thin films, hybrid materials, biological surfaces, as well as the analysis of cultural heritage. The Cypher AFM will bring new possibilities in our scientific group to study materials surfaces in the nanoworld."

I found this shop a little while before becoming a member of Etsy bloggers. I was instantly drawn to the handcrafted items that reminded me of my childhood. Mom would sit for days on end with me and my sister, and we would paint and hand stitch ornaments and gift bags for cookies as well as handmade gifts. They were always well received and soon becoame a beloved family tradition.
It wasn't long after opening my Etsy shop that I was introduced to the blogging world. You know, blogging is great because, well, you never really meet the people behind the blogs, but you somehow feel like you are long time friends or neighbors.
There was already a familiar homeyness about Linda's shop but reading her blog, I instantly felt a connection of sorts. It was not religion, or a face to face meeting it was just a comfortable "I'm an everyday person" kind of feeling that made me want to read more.
I soon learned that Linda is a breast cancer survivor. Having just learned of my mothers cancer and now helping her recover, I am so encouraged to see Linda living a very full life.
I am also drawn to her family. I am a mother of four myself. I love my children. Being a mom is one of the most fulfilling aspect of who I am, but Linda has me beat by a LONG way.
She is grandmother to 25 and counting. What a blessing the holiday seasons must be, how lively, how sweet.
I hope you will take the time to stop by her shop and definitely read her blog and get to know Linda.
Find Linda here
and her wonderful creations HERE

Why the Vikings Should Decrease Adrian Peterson's Workload
Adrian Peterson is a beast. Plain and simple. He has the power to run over you, the moves to run around you, and the speed to run by you. He is 26 and a physical specimen. It's tempting to hand him the ball thirty times a game and let him do his work. Still, I can't help but think the Vikings would be better served reducing his workload.
All Day has averaged nearly 300 carries per season. He has also caught nearly 30 passes per year. While he has been relatively injury-free since coming into the league, all of those touches begin to take a toll on a physical runner like Peterson. Like at the lifeline of physical runners like Earl Campbell and Jamal Lewis. Their heavy workload and physical style decreased their shelf life. Even Shaun Alexander, who had a five-year run that rivals AP's production fell quickly off the map. LaDainian Tomlinson is an exception because he has a knack for avoiding the big hits.
I'm not saying Adrian Peterson is going to stop being effective this year or even next, but in an effort to extend his career, the Vikings should think about sharing more of the carries. After all, isn't that why they brought in Toby Gerhart?
There is an obvious drop-off when Gerhart is running the ball, but it is a fair trade-off when you look at the big picture. While Gerhart got off to a slow start, sputtering for 22 yards on seven carries, his yards per carry increased each month as his attempts increased.
Septerber: 7 carries, 22 yards (3.1 ypc)
October: 10 carries, 35 yards (3.5 ypc)
November: 29 carries, 106 yards (3.6 ypc)
December/January: 35 carries, 160 yards (4.6 ypc)
Not only did Gerhart show he gets better with more work, but he proved he can be trusted when Peterson needs a breather. He's not a game-changer like All Day, but he can handle a heavier workload.
Perhaps you go with Peterson early to establish the run. You slowly start to mix Gerhart in the second quarter. Maybe use him a little more extensively in the third quarter to wear the defense down, and then bring in a fresher Peterson in the fourth to lay the hammer down.
If you limit Peterson's carries, perhaps he finishes stronger. Look at his monthly averages:
Septerber: 110.9 yards per game, 5.4 ypc
October: 95.4 ypg, 4.5 ypc
November: 107.0 ypg, 5.3 ypc
December/January: 71.7 ypg, 4.1 ypc
There's a lot to love about Adrian Peterson. He was asked to work on catching the ball out of the backfield and he improves dramatically. He was asked to get a handle on his fumbling issues and he loses just one the next year. I just don't want to see him burn out.

The Mystery Case Files series of games is one of the most popular in the "casual" PC downloadable space. While this series didn't invent the "hidden object" seek-and-find style of gameplay, it certainly brought it to the forefront. Now these types of games are all over the casual space and continue to be the most popular choice for lots of players. What makes Mystery Case Files stand above the rest is how Big Fish has continually added new gameplay features to add more depth. The 13th Skull contains so many different elements that it's more of a point-and-click adventure RPG than a simple hidden object game, and though it does have its flaws, it's the best game in the series thus far.
In 13th Skull, as in all Mystery Case Files games, you are a detective tasked with solving a crime. This time around you find yourself in the swamplands of Louisiana investigating the disappearance of a man who had just recently moved to the area. His daughter says she saw him abducted by a ghost, and the locals are so superstitious, it's difficult to get a realistic explanation. In the process of the investigation, you must uncover clues around the old run-down mansion where the family lives, as well as in the neighboring town.
While it's still present, the classic hidden object gameplay really takes a back seat to interviewing people around the town and solving more complex puzzles in order to advance the story. Speaking with people is more interesting in 13th Skull compared to other games in this genre because the characters are portrayed by live actors that you can actually interact with by giving or taking objects from them, as well as choosing different dialogue options. However, very few of these actors are any good. Most of them are desperately overacting, making it feel like you're watching a high school play, which is a shame because the story is pretty decent.
The puzzles offer a decent amount of challenge and a good amount of variety to keep things interesting. In addition, 13th Skull contains a similar tiered hint system to the Drawn series of games, enabling players to get progressively more specific hints or to skip the puzzle altogether if they can't figure it out. My only complaints are that the gameplay involves a lot of back-tracking between areas, and some of the fetch quests for certain characters are just ridiculous. How many private investigators do you know who would round up a maid's cleaning supplies for her or fix the toilet at the local tavern? There's also a point near the end of the game where a character keeps prompting you to hurry up, which is really annoying when you're trying to think about a puzzle.
The Verdict
Mystery Case Files: 13th Skull is an enjoyable adventure game with an interesting story. If it weren&#Array;t for the constant back-tracking and the horrendous acting of the characters, this game could have been great. But even with these flaws, I still found myself intrigued enough to keep playing and pretty satisfied at the end.

Murray's coach is Ivan Lendl, an eight-time grand slam winner whose face is all over Australia's newspapers and TV channels as he promotes a local bank. Chardy's is Kerei Abakar, a 27-year-old who peaked at around 800 in the world and took a business degree in Paris before deciding that coaching was his passion.
"Jeremy is the first professional player I've coached," said Abakar, who is 6ft 5in and full of smiles. Asked if he felt any anxiety about trying to compete with Lendl, he replied: "What can I say? I only have big respect for this guy.
"I will just try to give my maximum strength to Jeremy. But I won't feel inferior to them. Everybody knows that Andy is a top-four player and that Ivan won many grand slams. But we are still going to fight."
The contrast is telling, because it helps explain why the 'Big Four' men, who are only a 'Big Three' until Rafael Nadal returns to the tour, continue to hold a big lead over their rivals. In fact, they keep pedalling further away from the peloton.
These are supreme athletes with few weaknesses, either physically, psychologically or technically. And on top of that they have the most skilful support staff and the most sophisticated training programmes.
The detail involved in Murray's last annual winter fitness block in Miami had to be seen to be believed, as Lendl and fitness trainer Jez Green arranged three daily sessions of gym and court-work that interlocked like a jigsaw.
The results have been evident in Melbourne. Since a decent first-round win over Robin Haase, Murray admits that he has not been striking the ball with his usual authority. And yet his physical superiority — "he's like a tank", according to his old friend and training partner Jamie Baker — is such that he is yet to drop a set, and cruised through his fourth-round match with such ease on Monday that it felt like an exhibition.
Murray's opponent, 14th seed Gilles Simon, was hurting badly after burning off a week's worth of energy in the previous round. His match against Gael Monfils had been progressing smoothly until Simon started cramping in the third set and wound up being taken to 8-6 in the fifth. Which is exactly the sort of glitch you do not see from the 'Big Three'.
"It was my job to be in better shape today and to win the match before without playing for 4hr 45min," said Simon, after his humdrum 6-3, 6-1, 6-3 defeat.
"Today it was a painful hour and a half on the court. I did everything I could to recover – exercise bike, stretching, massage, cold bath. But it's difficult when you run a marathon two days before to go for one more two days after."
As Murray sails into the last eight, Novak Djokovic has had a rather tougher ride, which peaked in an epic five-hour contest against Stan Wawrinka on Sunday night.
This was the most enjoyable match of the tournament to date, as Wawrinka came out swinging his racket like some crazed samurai swordsman. But it was also the sort of thriller where you felt you always knew the end.
Djokovic ripped off his shirt after the final point, exposing a superbly conditioned torso, and reminding us that he is likely to recover far more quickly from his exertions than the pipe-cleaner-limbed Simon.
The last member of the trio, Roger Federer, is perhaps in the best place of all. He has not dropped a set, nor even a service game, in his imperious progress to a quarter-final against Jo-Wilfried Tsonga on Wednesday. And yet he will be more battle-hardened than Murray, his potential semi-final opponent, having taken out two of the more promising members of the next generation – Bernard Tomic and Milos Raonic – with the sort of serenity that verges on disdain.
Is anyone going to change this familiar tune? Could Tomas Berdych take advantage of Djokovic's potential weariness by ambushing him in Rod Laver Arena on Tuesday? Perhaps, but three-time Australian Open champion Mats Wilander is not banking on it.
"I think Nos 5 through to 50 [in the rankings] need to step up," Wilander told the Tennis Space website on Monday. "There needs to be more stupid belief from them, more fire. They need to break in, take someone out in the early rounds, not fall into the trap of thinking, 'Oh these guys are the best, how can I beat them'?"
Perhaps Chardy could be the man to start the process. If he somehow managed to shock Murray on Wednesday – reprising an unexpected victory he scored in Cincinnati last year – it would not be quite up there on the Richter Scale of Lukas Rosol's stunning win over Nadal at last year's Wimbledon. But it would still be the biggest tremor to his Melbourne Park for several years, probably since Nadal fell to the then unknown Tsonga in 2009.
"Jeremy is staying very calm, trying to play relaxed and rely on his strengths – his serve, his forehand," Abakar said. "No thinking – just relax and enjoy it.
"Everybody knows that he can beat anybody if he's in good shape and if it's a good day for him. He just needs to believe in himself."
In the present climate of men's tennis, that may be the biggest challenge of all.

Whether they are called empadinhas, empadas, or empanadas these pastry pockets make a delicious and easy appetizer. This is a great recipe as it does not have sugar which many other empada dough recipes have. We also used salted butter instead of 4.5 tsp of salt which the recipe calls for.
- 6 3/4 cups flour
- 1 cup chilled water
- 3 eggs
- 3 tbsps vinegar
- 1 1/2 cup amul butter (salted and cut into cubes)
Mix together the butter and flour until crumbly. Mix together the wet ingredients. Add wet to dry and combine. Final dough should be shaggy. Put on dusted flour surface and form into flat rectangle and wrap in cling wrap. Chill in fridge for at least an hour.
- 2 packets of Goan sausage
- 8 small onions chopped
Fry onions in the oil of the sausage, and then add chopped sausage and simmer for a little while so well mixed. let cool. The empada dough and filling can be combined in different ways. You can use small cup cake molds, roll out two small dough circles, with the first one folded into the mold and the second covering the top. Another option is to put a teaspoon of filling on one circle, wet the edges with wet flour paste, then place the second dough circle on top. Press around the edges with a fork to get a fancy edge. A third idea? Roll out dough, add filling, then place another piece of rolled dough on top, Roll with rolling pin and use a cookie cutter to cut out shapes of your choosing. You can see how diamond flats and rounds with the fancy edges look from the featured image. Brush with egg yolk before baking to give a golden brown final look. Bake empadas in oven at 200 degrees centigrade until tops are golden brown. Tap to confirm it is baked.
Notes: You can use a wide variety of fillings, even veg if that is your fancy. This time my cousin Preeti and I made 26 small empada cups, 6 empada rounds, 18 empada diaond shapes flats, as well as additional dough remnants that we baked to satisfy those who wanted a taste.

Jonah 3 Good News Translation (GNT)
Jonah Obeys the Lord
3 Once again the Lord spoke to Jonah. 2 He said, "Go to Nineveh, that great city, and proclaim to the people the message I have given you." 3 So Jonah obeyed the Lord and went to Nineveh, a city so large that it took three days to walk through it. 4 Jonah started through the city, and after walking a whole day, he proclaimed, "In forty days Nineveh will be destroyed!"
5 The people of Nineveh believed God's message. So they decided that everyone should fast, and all the people, from the greatest to the least, put on sackcloth to show that they had repented.
6 When the king of Nineveh heard about it, he got up from his throne, took off his robe, put on sackcloth, and sat down in ashes. 7 He sent out a proclamation to the people of Nineveh: "This is an order from the king and his officials: No one is to eat anything; all persons, cattle, and sheep are forbidden to eat or drink. 8 All persons and animals must wear sackcloth. Everyone must pray earnestly to God and must give up their wicked behavior and their evil actions. 9 Perhaps God will change his mind; perhaps he will stop being angry, and we will not die!"
10 God saw what they did; he saw that they had given up their wicked behavior. So he changed his mind and did not punish them as he had said he would.

Hector is a dear friend of mine who I've long admired.
His beautiful, melancholy drawings have a subtle punch of hilarious to them.
Making them both simultaneously dark and adorable.
Kind of like Hector himself!
1. Name, Astrology sign, and location please.
Legally, still: Hector Sebastian Casanova. But I think of that as my unmarried / "commercial art" name. It will soon become, legally, Hector Osaurus Cinderhouse.
Sign: Sagittarius! Location: Kansas City!
2. What are you currently working on?
Truthfully? Taxes. I am so far behind. Artistically, my job as a graphic artist for the newspaper keeps me too busy for any large scale solo projects. (So much so, that i took down my website as I am not really taking on any freelance work. I am stingy with my creative time outside my job.) So these days I do mostly collaborations with other artists / musicians / performers, or smaller scale projects, like live art murals, things that excite me and don't require months-long commitment. I am taking a break from really time and labor intensive projects like comics and graphic novels, and have been taking on projects that have a much quicker turnaround time. But I also have a real hard time saying no, especially for good causes / good people. Last week I did some live painting for an Amnesty International benefit, this weekend I am painting a new DIY playground for neighborhood kids in a public housing complex that is dreary as hell... I want the kids to have the coolest hopscotch and Four-Square grids ever.
3. Who are your favorite artists?
Too many to name! And of all sorts! Musicians, filmmakers, photographers, comics, street and poster artists, painters.... All of these things saturate and influence me: Tom Waits, Egon Schiele, Stasys Eidrigevicius, Chris Ware, Banksy, Steven Soderbergh, Dave McKean, Dan Clowes, Joel Peter-Witkin, Andy Warhol, Mark Ryden, Winsor McCay, Edward Gorey... I can go on for hours...
4. What's the best advice you ever received about your career choice?
Better to be unemployed in the field of your choice than In a field you never wanted to be in.
5. Favorite place(s) in your city?
It used to be the West Bottoms. That neighborhood is a huge part of why I fell in love with this city and stayed here. It really nurtured me. I feel very lucky to have been in this city at a time when all these variables were aligned just so: a semi-abandoned ghost town neighborhood full of train yards and huge, empty industrial buildings with dirt cheap rent, all spitting distance from downtown. It provided an oasis for artists and musicians. We didn't have many neighbors, but the ones that opted to live the we're all artists, musicians, performers.... People that needed a lot of space to make art and make noise. It was the best of all worlds, the look of city living but the feeling of homesteading in some surreal desolate concrete jungle where you could expect the only person you see all day to be someone playing the tuba in the street at 3 am.
Sadly it has changed a lot. Most of the artists have been forced out and all those big beautiful lofts have been converted into antique stores. So we moved out and we bought a house and my wife and I think of it as an always-ongoing art project. So my house has become my new favorite place to be.
6. If you could live anywhere in the world where would it be? And while we're at it, what about a different era?
Vienna, 19-teens. I have always wished I could walk down cobblestone streets wearing a hat, trenchcoat and walking stick. In black and white if possible.
7. What do you usually mindlessly doodle? (do you have a picture of this?)
Creatures. Dinosaurs. Men's faces. Usually slack-jawed. Women with long, dark hair.
8. First website you peruse of the day?
Facebook. Sad to confess, Facebook is like nicotine for the socially awkward. The perks of being "in the loop" without the awkwardness of 'hellos' and 'goodbyes' or the hassle of actually going out... But if I am looking to kick start my brain for actual artistic inspiration pinterest or ffffound.com.
9. What's the worst movie you've ever seen, but secretly love?
There are so many! But the first that come to mind are Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter and Pterodactyl.
10. Any pets? Any kids?
Four cats. They're as close as it gets to having kids for me, which is not too close. I appreciate my cats' independence though, and although they are huge moochers, I don't have to worry about saving for their college tuition. I have had cats most of my life, And a coup,e of them were the nicest guys I have ever known, human or otherwise. You remember Phoebe, the oldest. We also have Sparrow (who is more like an orange walrus than a cat), Quinlan (aka 'Demon Child', 'Brat Monkey' or simply 'NO!!') and Rabbit Bean.
Thank you my dear, sweet Hector!

|Dypsis (1)
This attractive medium sized palm is only found on the tiny island of Pemba off the east coast of Africa (1) (3) (4). The smooth, slender trunks of the Pemba palm are strongly ringed, and are usually clustered in clumps but may also grow singularly. The elegant, feathering leaves are dark green, with close, evenly arranged leaflets (2) (4). The fruit are just over one centimetre in length and are dark red at maturity (4) (5) (6).
The Pemba palm occurs in moist, coastal forests (1).
Classified as Vulnerable (VU) on the IUCN Red List (1).
Owing to a relatively large human population, there is considerable pressure on natural resources on the island of Pemba, and a large proportion of the island's forest has been destroyed or severely degraded (3). The primary threats to the remaining forest include fires, logging and exploitation, agricultural conversion, the spread of the invasive plant Maesopsis eminii, and the expansion of tourist infrastructure. The Pemba palm has a small population, estimated at less than 3,000 individuals, comprising one main subpopulation occurring within the Ngezi Nature Reserve and two other smaller subpopulations (1) (3). The highly restricted range and small size of the Pemba palm's population means that the species is vulnerable to even relatively small impacts.
The Global Trees Campaign is involved in a project that began in early 2009 with the central aim of conserving the Pemba palm. As so little is known about this species, one of the main priorities it to conduct further surveys and research, which will be used to inform future conservation management plans. The management of fires, the removal of Maesopsis eminii, and awareness raising amongst the local community are also seen as being especially important measures. In addition, plans are in place to develop tree nurseries, which will provide Pemba palm seedlings to reinforce the wild population, whilst also giving local people the opportunity to grow fruit and timber trees in order to reduce the pressure on wild resources (3).
To find out more about the conservation of the Pemba palm, visit:

WiSAR Lab to host open week at LYIT
The WiSAR Lab at Letterkenny Institute of Technology will hold an open week at the end of this month and they have extended an open invitation to all Irish companies.
The open week will take place from Monday, July 30th until Friday, August 3rd and attendees will have the opportunity for a consultation with staff members regarding their project needs and assessments.
Established in May 2009, the WiSAR Lab at LYIT is an Enterprise Ireland funded Applied Research Enhancement centre. It is nationally recognised as the centre of excellence in wireless technology, performing R&D in the area of wireless Body Area Networks (BAN).
Working in an innovative and engaging environment, the company's team of engineers have produced pioneering solutions on many projects and across different industries from medical and industrial, to sports and leisure. They focus on the development of wireless sensor networks that would detect and collect various attributes. A wireless sensor network (WSN) consists of distributed and independent sensors which monitor physical or environmental properties, using wireless communications to report their readings and to receive commands. The objective is to monitor properties such as temperature, sound, light, vibration, pressure, motion, pollutants and medical properties (such as ECG-heart activity, EMG-electric activity generated by muscles, GSR-skin conductive activity and respiratory monitoring) to be transmitted into a monitoring system using wireless technology.
At the WiSAR Lab, staff members are versatile in the use of wireless sensors, for the majority of their research projects they would use off-the-shelf wireless sensors. They also provide customised wireless sensor development depending on the nature of the project in order to facilitate their partners' requirements.
Working closely with Enterprise Ireland, the WiSAR Lab maintains its commitment to Irish companies, assisting them in exploring new business opportunities through innovative R&D, giving them access to cutting edge technology and expertise in addition to advising them on the various support and funding programmes provided by Enterprise Ireland; these programmes can provide to 100% funding allowing Irish companies a healthy environment for development and growth.
For further information on open week, contact Sufian Al Aswad on 074 918 6462 or via email firstname.lastname@example.com

Martin Luther grew up during the Italian Renaissance, a time when Italy began moving from Medieval to Modern times, a time of tension in the political and economic arenas. The Italian Renaissance marked the rebirth of republicanism and capitalism. Luther also grew up during the Northern Renaissance, at which time the introduction of Nationalism took place. Nationalism based itself on controlling the businessmen, aristocrats, and the church. At the same time capitalism began growing rapidly and the serf's established a bank, built sometime between 1200 and 1500. The Italian government would not allow free capitalism so it offered Nobility. A mercantile system regulated the economy by making a hierarchy in the business world in order to get the businessmen to make more things that would benefit the nation and make it more self reliant.
Luther's father worked as a farmer and decided to buy mining fields in order to better the life of his family.
He became successful and made enough money to be able to send Luther to University. Once a person finished University he could join the Nobility. Through seeing his father work from being a landless farmer to being a part of the upper middle class, Luther believed that anything's possible if he worked at it.
Around the time of Benjamin Franklin's birth the colonies were expanding and beginning to make their own laws. In 1702 Queen Anne took the English throne and declared war on France to prevent the union of France and Spain. This war was called Queen Anne's War in the colonies, and the colonials had to battle the French, Spanish and Native Americans for the next eleven years. Also in 1702 the Anglican Church was established as the official church in Maryland, and it was financially supported by taxing free men, male...

Can you stand one more Happy New Year? And a few more celebrations? Of course you can, so let's get on with it.
This year Edana Romney's by now legendary Twelfth Night celebration is being postponed to a later date. Edana's off to New York for a movie conference. She'll check in when she returns to L.A.
But the indefatigable Les Dames de Champagne, international hostesses, carry on with the tradition. The group's Twelfth Night Bal Masque takes place Sunday at the new Le Bel Age Hotel. And as always there will be awards for the couple and/or individual who stand out as last year's top host or hosts. The names of the winner (or winners) are always kept secret until party time. We're told even Mrs. Happy Franklin, 1985 Twelfth Night chairman, doesn't know. Would we be far off the mark if we guessed Candy and Aaron Spelling? OK, Wanda Henderson Holzhauser, slap our dainty little hands.
This year is Les Dames' 20th birthday, so this Twelfth Night celebration is bound to be something special. It's also the night Les Dames introduce new members and a new board of governors. Incoming president is Mrs. Del Webb. The program will also include the presentation of the Founder's Award to the person who has "furthered the volunteer service organization's purpose most effectively--to project California and America as hospitality landmarks of international goodwill." (Last year's winner was Peter Ueberroth, this year's Time magazine Man of the Year.) And there will be the presentation of a check for $30,000, the proceeds from Les Dames' recent Grand Great Britain event at Bullock's Wilshire, to KCET Children's Programming.

Indian diaspora will benefit local wealth managers
India is known for having the largest diaspora population in the world. However, what is most important for wealth managers in India is the reverse migration phenomenon that is attracting wealth back into the country.
Many Indian descendants from around the world are moving back to their ancestral home – along with their wealth – in a phenomenon known as reverse diaspora. According to UN data, India has the largest diaspora in the world, with 16 million Indians living outside the country. Most reside in the surrounding Asian region and the Middle East, but a considerably large Indian minority is also present in developed countries such as the US, Canada, and the UK.
India ranks first as the largest remittance-receiving country in the world, according to the World Bank. As the Indian diaspora contributes to over 3% of the country's GDP, the government is committed to encouraging this flow of money.
Although dual citizenship is not an option for Indian migrants, special visa arrangements exist for non-resident Indians (NRIs) and Overseas Citizens of India card holders. Both benefit from visa-free travel to India, and the same civil rights as Indian residents.
In addition, in September 2016 the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi introduced an investor visa targeted at those able to invest between INR100m ($1.63m) and INR250m ($4.08m) over a set period of time. Persons of Indian Origin who have amassed their wealth in countries such as the US or the UAE, but who are not Indian passport holders, may nonetheless feel a strong emotional attachment to their ancestral land and be willing to use this vehicle as an entry into the country.
Among them, many entrepreneurs consider this as an opportunity to benefit from the dynamism of the local market, the lower costs, and the rapid economic growth, while going back to their roots and reconnecting with family.
This is a significant opportunity for wealth managers, and advisors should keep an eye on this growing demographic and tailor specific products accordingly. By targeting Indian expats on their way back to their home country, private banks with international capacity can accompany their clients by moving their assets from one country to another.
Moreover, catering for the returning Indian diaspora's financial needs – such as their children's education (often outside India) or retirement – is paramount. As highlighted in our Wealth in India: HNW Investors 2017 report, pension planning demand is forecast to experience the highest growth, as Indian expats coming from overseas will need an alternative retirement income when moving back to India.
NRIs have been a lucrative segment for financial advisors operating outside India, and many providers have set up specific teams to cater for their needs. Today's reverse migration trend suggests that local wealth managers will be able to benefit from this lucrative client group as well. Those that are able to tailor their propositions accordingly will find that servicing this segment will be paramount to staying ahead of the game in the increasingly competitive Indian wealth management market.

Stormin' Norman by Sue Brown
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
So I had to spend time traveling in the car today and this was such a fun story to make for a relaxing ride. This story focuses on mainly one character through most of the story. We met him briefly at the end of the last book and was hoping to see him again. Jesse has been a man on a mission for most of his life and even love has taken a back seat. It was so hard to see him struggle as he finally realized some home truths only to find that the object of his love had moved on. This story could have taken a lot of different turns and still provided a very satisfying end to Jesse's story. But I am so happy it went exactly the way it did.

How to make money in falling markets?
9 out of 10 people don't know how to short the markets.
Almost any investment technique will work well in a bull market – but they collapse when the markets turn treacherous… like they have recently.
The short selling strategy is one part "contrarian investing," one part "short-term profiteering," and one part "capitalizing on the biggest financial conspiracy since the breakup of Standard Oil nearly a century ago."
It is a radically different approach to investing… one that can earn big short-term profits using a simple technique.Bottom Line: When you need to know which stocks are troubled and headed down, experts are mute. Like we said before, it's a silent conspiracy. And the people they're conspiring against are you and every other investor out there. Here's what they don't want you to know…
Short selling is a tool that can be valuable in a number of ways.
For instance, you may want to speculate that a stock is likely to decline. There could be any number of reasons. You may feel that its sales have topped out, that earnings will fall short of expectations, that the company has too much debt or too many successful competitors, that its industry is in a slump, or simply that the shares are overpriced. Short selling allows you to take advantage of these situations without resorting to using options or other derivatives.
While options can give you leverage that a short sale cannot, they have one very serious drawback: their time premium. That means when you buy a put option, unless the stock falls fairly substantially and within the relatively short time period defined by the premium, you may miss out on the profit if the stock falls after the expiration of your option.
But the past two years have been outlandishly profitable for investors who used the short selling technique.
Warm Regards

The Vancouver Sun Harry Jerome Track Classic on July 10 will celebrate the 60th Anniversary of the Miracle Mile presented by Northern Gateway for men but not women.
Because women were not allowed to run beyond 200m in 1954. Nothing longer than that as "delicate women" may harm themselves by the stress of longer distances.
Things have changed but it did take 30 more years until the marathon was added to the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles.
There will be a mile event at the Jerome Track Classic and it will be a strong international event with women from Canada, USA, Great Britain, Germany and Australia. Just what is the equivalent task for women as the 4 minute barrier is for men in the mile? Well this is somewhat debatable but my guess is 4:30.00.
If any women break the barrier, they need a time under 4:30 to be equivalent to the 4 min barrier for men. Well this field may just to that.
Sarah Bowman Brown represented the USA at the world championships in Moscow last summer and her best 1500m time is 4:05.27. This converts to a 4:23.90 mile. This University of Tennessee graduate and NCAA indoor champion held the world record in the 4x1500m relay for the USA.
Brampton, ON's Kate Van Buskirk who has been Canadian Champion in 2013 and 2014 has a best of 4:06.97 in the 1500m which is equivalent to a 4:25.81 mile. A Duke University graduate, Kate is coached by former Olympian, Dave Reid and by Hugh Cameron in Toronto.
2012 Olympian, Kim Conley from University of California in Davis just won the US Championships at 10,000m last weekend. She has a converted best time in the mile of 4:25.81.
Sara Vaughn from Boulder, Colorado mother of two has a converted mile of 4:25.95.
These women will be joined by Calgary's Jessica O'Connell (4:31.04), Anne Kesselring of Germany (4:31.18), Heidi Gregson of Australia (4:30.77) and Josephine Moultrie of Great Britain (4:29.52).
Will there be a Miracle Mile for women at Swangard? Will they break the 4:30 barrier? Be there Thursday night.
Over 300 athletes from 21 nations will compete in the Vancouver Sun Harry Jerome Track Classic featuring the 60th Anniversary of the Miracle Mile presented by Northern Gateway on July 10 at Swangard Stadium.
Tickets are $25 finish line and $10 general admission and are available at www.harryjerome.com

I hope you all had a great NYE! We rented a cabin with friends for this weekend and it has been so much fun. We went for a hike yesterday (I piled everything from my suitcase on me to try and stay warm, ha) and spent the rest of the weekend cozied up inside. We kept the fire kicking and spent our time cooking, playing card games and of course drinking bubbly!
Since it has been so darn cold here, you better believe I packed all my Uggs. We snapped these pictures right after we arrived on Saturday. This is the view right outside our back door. Pretty, right? I'm wearing my Classic Mini Uggs in chestnut that I got ordered from Nordstrom. I have taller Uggs in the sand color and in black too, but these are the pair that I reach for most often and end up wearing constantly. They are so easy to slip on and are still super cozy but aren't as much of a commitment as a higher boot is. I usually wear them with footies and leave a little skin showing between the top of the Ugg and my pants but since it's been freeeezing here, I added some warm camp socks to my look.
After seeing these pics I am thinking I should snag a pair in black too since they would go with so many outfits. They run true to size.
Enjoy the day and the start of 2018! How crazy is it that it's already here?!

25 days of thrills sailing rugged west coast
Offshore sailing is very different from the island-hopping and day sailing we may do on English Bay or through the Gulf Islands.
Instead of lying at anchor in a protected bay in the evenings, we sail the boat non-stop in any conditions. Hiding in a cove or harbour is not an option; instead the crew and boat have to deal with anything Mother Nature may throw at them.
The fog subsided as we headed away from the shore. Far off the coast, the deep blue sea of the Pacific Ocean stretched as far as the eye could see. Strong winds pushed It's Magic purposefully through the white-crested waves.
The wind never abated and the waves reached a formidable height of three metres or more, some big enough to crash through the cockpit, drenching the crew in a cold shower of sea water.
On the second day offshore, dolphins approached us and playfully cut through our bow wave, zooming under the boat and appearing just under the surface on the other side. What a spectacle — all our hardship from the last night was forgotten and everybody had a big smile on their face.

Let me start by telling you how my morning started off to show you just how tough we have it here in Ohio. We start each morning with a run in our neighborhood, and this morning we decided instead of the usual exercise, we would go for a doughnut run. A literal doughnut run. For our exercise we ran to this little family owned bakery near our house and bought doughnuts, then ran back to the apartment and ate them! It was the perfect way to negate all the effects of our running! And let me tell you, they were the best doughnuts I have ever eaten. They put Krispy Kreme to shame. So yeah, we've got it pretty rough out here...
Well, this week has been awesome, and there was one experience in particular that made it so good. We went on exchanges with the new Spanish Elders, and Elder Graf went with Elder Taylor down to Dayton leaving me up here in our area with Elder Garcia. Elder Garcia has been out 3 weeks, and I've been out 3 months, so we had less than 4 months experience between the two of us. But, because he was so new, I was senior companion for the day! Which means.........I GOT TO DRIVE A CAR!!!!! That might not seem like a big deal, but one thing I've been missing recently is driving. It has been 3 months since I last drove, and we do a lot of driving out here, but since I'm not the "designated driver" of our companionship, I just ride along. But I finally got to drive! And I didn't crash! =) But anyways, I was in charge of the area for the day, which was super exciting, but also a lot of pressure. It was up to me to take the lead in everything and come up with things for us to do. But it worked out really well, and me and Elder Garcia had a great time. We did have a pretty crazy experience with one of our lessons though. We went to teach a guy named F-------. F------- has been taught everything. Everything from the restoration to tithing, he's heard it. And he's been being taught for nearly 6 years! So we went to go teach him the about the sacrament again and try to get him to come to church. The lesson was going really well, but all of the sudden it took a crazy tangent, and we were out of nowhere talking about Adam and Eve! I have to still concentrate pretty hard to understand what people are saying, so I had no idea how we had got to that point. I kept trying to bring us back on topic, but I still don't have the language skills to cut someone off and take complete control of the lesson again, so I just had to sit and wait for an opportunity. Elder Garcia had the language skills, but he lacked the teaching experience to know how to get us back on track. So we both kind of just sat there, trying to get the lesson back on track, while F------- talked and talked and talked about the beginning of the world and all of his beliefs about all sorts of stuff. We ended up finally stopping it and ending the lesson alright, but it was a pretty crazy experience.
Here's another story about a new investigator we found. We were on exchanges and had just tried to contact a potential investigator, but they didn't answer, so we were headed back to the car to go to our next appointment. I saw a guy sitting on his porch, and I had the idea that I should go talk to him. He was in no wise Hispanic, but I went anyway and started talking to him. He wasn't interested in what we had to say in the slightest, so the conversation was pretty brief. At the end of talking with him, I asked him if there was anyone who spoke Spanish nearby. He pointed us to his neighbor's house, so we went to try it. No one answered, but since finding Spanish speakers is rare, we made note of it and decided to visit it again next time we were in the area. We were in the area yesterday, so we tried it. A guy answered the door and immediately let us in. That was pretty surprising! We had a really good first lesson with him (J-----), and we set up a time later in the week to meet with him. Asking referrals from people really works!
Here are just a few other things worth noting from this week:
--We taught the T----- family again. It went well, but for some reason they were really concerned about what types of meat we are allowed to eat in our church. They brought it up again and again, and it was kind of weird...
--Our ragtag futbol team is growing! We had 12 people there on Saturday!
--We spent 3 full hours digging through nearly 6 years' worth of records in our area while splitting the area book for the new Elders. Lots of paperwork!
--There are some amazing member families out here. We eat with the English ward every other week and one member said this: "I figure we're all here to build the Lord's kingdom, so if we're not doing that, then what are we doing?" I really liked that quote.
--We have started singing to invite the Spirit into our lessons. We're not too good, and we still need to work on learning the hymns in Spanish, but I have definitely gained a testimony of the power of music this past week.
--Ohio has some pretty cool sunsets!
And that's about it! Thanks so much for the package last week! That was amazing! I'll send a picture of my reaction.... I do have a request. It's not urgent, but when you get the chance, could you maybe send me a few talks? In particular I would like:
"Seek Learning by Faith" by Elder Bednar, 2006; "The Fourth Missionary" by Lawrence E. Corbridge; and "Becoming a Consecrated Missionary" by Tad R. Callister. If you could find those and get them to me anytime in the future, I would really appreciate it!

Ask a Law Question, Get an Answer ASAP!
Hi, thank you for your question. Just a bit more information required to fully assist you:
-How old are you both?
-How long have you been married?
-How old are the children?
-Is the home rented or owned? If owned, what is the value and outstanding mortgage?
-What are your respective incomes?
Does he earn £125,000 per year?
Do either of you have pensions, if so what is the value?
Thanks you.
Is the plan for you to be the main carer of the children?
Is the current property suitable to meet the children's needs?
Thank you for confirming. Firstly, if this matter went to court, the court's priority will be for the children's needs to be met and if they are being met in the current property, then the court will consider this the first option to house them. This will therefore mean that the main carer (you) should remain in the property. Given that you will be in receipt of PIP you can also apply for housing benefit to assist with the rent, as well as child benefit and child tax credit.
You will also be able to claim child maintenance (through the child maintenance service) from your husband - the rate will vary from £175 to £392 per week depending on how many nights on average they stay with him a week once he has moved out. Furthermore, if you are still not able to meet your reasonable needs then you can apply for spousal maintenance once divorce petition has been issued - this will cover your reasonable needs which cannot be met from your income and benefits.
Initially this should be attempted through mediation - you can find independent mediators here: http://www.familymediationcouncil.org.uk If a settlement is agreed this can be submitted to court under a consent order (together with a D81 form outlining your respective financial positions).If mediation does not progress you should then proceed with an application to court under Form A for financial relief.You will both need to provide each other with full and frank financial and income disclosure, as well as disclosure of your reasonable needs. The Court's starting point is a 50-50 split of all matrimonial assets and ensuring that both your needs are met in relation to both assets and income. The criteria considered is:1. The income, earning capacity, property and other financial resources which each of the parties to the marriage has or is likely to have in the foreseeable future, including in the case of earning capacity any increase in that capacity which it would in the opinion of the court be reasonable to expect a party to the marriage to take steps to acquire;2. The financial needs, obligations and responsibilities which each of the parties to the marriage has or is likely to have in the foreseeable future;3. The standard of living enjoyed by the family before the breakdown of the marriage;4. The age of each party to the marriage and the duration of the marriage;5. Any physical or mental disability of either of the parties to the marriage;6. The contributions which each of the parties has made or is likely in the foreseeable future to make to the welfare of the family, including any contribution by looking after the home or caring for the family;7. The conduct of each of the parties, if that conduct is such that it would in the opinion of the court be inequitable to disregard it;8. In the case of proceedings for divorce or nullity of marriage, the value to each of the parties to the marriage of any benefit which, by reason of the dissolution or annulment of the marriage, that party will lose the chance of acquiring.If you have any further questions regarding this please let me know. In the meantime if you found this information helpful please provide a positive rating using the stars at the top of this page. I will not be credited for answering your question without a positive rating. Thank you

L. had a birthday just a few days ago. I think it was the first time he really understood what it was all about. A week or so before I said to him that his birthday was coming up and he shocked his father and I by stating the day, month, and YEAR he was born. I don't recall ever telling him that he was born in 1999. Weird that he somehow knew. All he wanted, as usual, was a Buzz Lightyear. (Does every autistic kid on the planet love that guy or what?) We got him a few things and I tried to hide them in my closet. This is something else he has never done before, he snooped around until he found where his presents were and then he opened all of them before the big unveiling at the party.
My parents and two of my sisters came to have cake and sing to him. He seemed very pleased with the whole affair. I was really excited that he got into it so much. L. is beginning to come out of his shell a little and act a little more like a child. He knew that the day was about him, that it was his birthday, that the cake was in his honor. It was a thrill.

Instead of spending Christmas 1929 with his mother, William Walton gave as his excuse the need to get to work "on this thing for the BBC". A humbug by constitution, the Lancastrian composer disliked the festive season anyway, and wrote saying he would spend the day "in the train where one doesn't notice it". Today, in the absence of trains, he would have to spend it on the platform, where he might well have noticed it, and where working on a new score might have proved more problematic if not draughty.
The "thing" in question was the 10-part oratorio Belshazzar's Feast (1931), one of his most popular achievements as well as his largest, requiring baritone soloist, double chorus, two brass bands, organ and full orchestra. It was chosen as the work to celebrate the 500th anniversary of the founding of St John's College, Cambridge, given in a packed Festival Hall last Thursday. In an act of collaborative generosity Andrew Nethsingha, since 2007 music director of the celebrated St John's choir, invited four mixed-voice Cambridge choirs to join his men and boys for a massed-voice performance of this gloriously gaudy musical spectacular.
Described by an early reviewer as a work of "stark Judaism", Belshazzar has no Christmas elements except perhaps the shopping list, as Walton laconically referred to it, in which the baritone (David Stout) itemises the riches of Babylon: gold, silver, precious stones, pearls, fine linen, purple silk, ivory, wood, brass, iron, marble, cinnamon, frankincense, wine, oil, horses – and the souls of men. Osbert Sitwell's glinting, biblical text is taken from the Book of Daniel and Psalm 137 ("By the Waters of Babylon").
With the Philharmonia providing an explosive and deft accompaniment under Nethsingha's baton, and the highly trained young voices of Caius, Clare, Jesus, Trinity, and St John's too, this was a superb performance: drilled to near perfection, with vigorous, detailed attention to dynamics and text.
Despite being a quincentenary event it was also a no-frills affair: no shirt-waving or mamba-style encores here. First the St John's choir sang a capella works by Herbert Howells, the college's one-time organist, and Jonathan Harvey, a John's graduate, which demonstrated the choir's singular sound. Often described as continental in its use of vibrato, the St John's choristers have a rich, warm quality which never suppresses the individual voices. This was displayed in Harvey's exquisite "I love the Lord'. Then all the choirs, warming up for Belshazzar, lustily sang Parry's "I was glad". And Parry-parriers aside, so we were. Choral singing comes no better.
For more than a quarter of a century the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra has collaborated in music-making with a variety of London inhabitants including the homeless. This year's Christmas project has been with the Connection at St Martin-in-the-Fields, in which a handful of RPO musicians worked with a dozen "users" of the day centre, some arriving to rehearsals with their rucksacks from a night on the street, others recently housed but still reliant on daily support.
Arriving mid-workshop, I could not instantly tell who was from the RPO, who from the Connection. Nor could I identify the heartfelt, catchy song which they were singing so confidently and unanimously with its "hallelujah" refrain. Horn, cello and clarinet – the RPO element – wove improvised lines around the melody, with various guitars, keyboards, vibes, bongos and drum kit adding according to skill and instruction.
Paul Griffiths, creative music project leader for the RPO and a composer by training, and Chris Lampard, a project worker at the centre, held all together with a benign stringency which achieved impressive results. Lampard, quiet-mannered and evidently trusted, has not been homeless, "but I came out of school with no qualifications. I know about addiction. I never went down the black hole but I glimpsed it."
A few participants had conspicuous musical ability: the rapper Pavel, from somewhere in eastern Europe, on keyboards; Simon on guitar and vibes; Mada the vocalist from "a place where the mountains are covered in snow, a place of bad things which I do not want to name". Getting these extroverts to join in is the easy part. But cajoling the more timorous to leave the building's downstairs social area to venture upstairs, on time, to a place where discipline is expected needs more effort. "To have to be somewhere at a certain time is the beginning of the road," Lampard observed.
Simon, 46, a Londoner, dropped out of a computer studies course at university and ended up on the streets. "I'm very particular. I always sleep above ground, away from vermin. I won't go in the West End, or anywhere near passers by." For a time he had a civil service job working for the secretary of state for education: "I applied for it when I was homeless; hung my suit from my park bench and got dressed up for my interview in the gents' toilets." But the job ended, and he found himself outside again, with money problems compounded by gambling. Music is a lifeline for him. "It's fantastic, working with these orchestral players. I have a passion for playing, and now a chance to express it."
Ken, 43, is more shy. A recovering alcoholic who was born in Suffolk, he has found new confidence through singing. How did his life take a downturn? "I was working as a caterer for the Ministry of Defence in Germany. They wanted me to go to Afghanistan. I'm a pacifist. I refused. I lost my accommodation... " Three months ago he moved into his own place but is still fragile. "Singing means everything. It's a release, I was locked in my shell. Now I'll talk to anybody."
Why do the RPO members do it? Phil Woods, the orchestra's third horn, enjoys the chance to be released from the notes on the page. "Playing the French horn, you have to have quite a good ear. The way the harmonics are set up in the instrument, you have to hear a note before you play it. It's part of the training. So that's a good start for improvising." Equally important, he enjoys the encounter with a different cross section of society. "I think having young children has given me a different perspective. It's also great fun."
The song, it turned out, had been written in the past few days: one of three new pieces on a Christmas theme, complete with angels, stable and baby. In a short, impromptu performance the group sang these world premieres to their fellow homeless. "Let's roll in snow tonight," sang the soulful Mada from the land of the snow-topped mountains. Was he thinking of his homeland, or of the cold night ahead? Then everyone joined in for a hand-clapping, offbeat, gospel-style, far from silent "Silent Night" which ended in whoops and cheers.

A Cupcake Fit For The King!
Happy 2011 everyone! This is my first blog post of the new year and
I'm very proud of it. January 8th is Elvis's birthday and I decided to do
an Elvis inspired cupcake. I had this idea on my list of cupcakes to do, and
this was the perfect time to try it! It's a banana cupcake, filled with
strawberry jelly, and peanut butter cream cheese frosting. IT IS AMAZING.
It tastes just like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. I found the banana
cupcake recipe on BonApetit.com. I baked the cupcakes and then let them cool.
Once they were cooled, I used my really awesome cupcake corer. I bought it at
William Sonoma for 5 dollars. It's the best 5 dollars i've ever spent. :) After
coring the cupcake, I spooned a little of Smuckers strawberry jelly into the
hole. I made my normal cream cheese frosting and just put a heaping spoonful
of peanut butter into it while mixing. I'm really happy with the way this
cupcake turned out. The amount of strawberry jelly is just the right amount.
I'm going to start devoting more time to cupcakes, so keep checking back!
Happy Birthday Elvis!
Let me know what you think! Comment or email me :)
If you haven't already: go "like" Cakes for Days on facebook!

iBall has launched the Edu-Slide i-1017 tablet, aimed at students with educational content relevant from the 1st standard to the 12th standard. The tablet has eTeach, which has the curriculum of CBSE and SSC content for students. The iBall Edu-Slide i-1017 has been priced at Rs. 12,999, with the offer of some additional free educational content with a purchase before April 15.
The iBall Edu-Slide i-1017 boasts of a 10.1-inch display with a 1280x800 pixel resolution. Under the hood, a dual-core 1.5GHz Cortex A9 processor, Mali G400 GPU along with 1 GB of RAM powers the device. Just like other budget devices, the tablet runs on Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. It has 8GB built-in storage expandable up to 32GB via a microSD card. The rear of the tablet houses a 2MP camera and the front has a 0.3MP camera. It also shows off Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and MicroUSB connectivity.
Commenting on the launch, Sandeep Parasrampuria said, "We're entering with a motive to complement our education system, not replace it. There is a dearth of quality content in this sector and with increasing number of tablet users, now's a great time to present iBall Edu-Slide powered by eTeach. Our goal is to make optimum utilization of the technology enhancements and create an environment where education is made easy and interesting."
The iBall Edu-Slide i-1017 isn't the first tablet to launch that shows off educational content. We have seen devices such as the Micromax Funbook Pro, Funtab Fit, the HCL MeTab U1, the Intel Study Book and more launch that is aimed at students. One of the largest portfolios of free educational content is held in iTunes U. There is a lot of educational content available there for students for free but unfortunately, due to the premium nature of the iPad's pricing, the tablet isn't affordable by all. Recently, iTunes U content surpassed the 1 billion download mark.
