I love baking anytime, but I admit that fall is usually a baker's favorite time to be in a kitchen. Summertime for me, though, is still the season when I can spend extra time with my girls. When my food-allergic girl was a baby, I was sure we would never be able to share cookie making and the like. Almost 8 years later, we are all dusting cupcakes together!
To celebrate baking with your food-allergic kid, and summertime sunshine, try this recipe for Key Lime Cupcakes (+/- some coconut if it is allowed). They are fun to mix, and they only cook for <20 minutes, so you won't spend all morning in a hot kitchen.
1/2 cup boxed Key Lime pie filling (we tried both Oeteker and Southern comfort)
2/3 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1/3 cup canola oil
1-1/2 Tbsp jarred unsweetened applesauce
1/2 cup shredded sweetened coconut flakes (optional)
3/4 cup water
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
3/4 tsp lemon juice
1-1/2 cups flour
I meant to get a picture of how much this batter bubbles as you stir, but we were having too much fun singing the Lava short song while the batter fizzed!
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Prepare a 12-cup muffin tin (line, spray, or both).
In a medium mixing bowl with a wooden spoon, combine Key Lime filling and sugar.
Add vanilla, applesauce, and oil, and stir.
If desired, stir the coconut flakes into the batter.
Slowly stir in water (I think lemonade would be great here too -- just use less white sugar to start).
Add salt, soda, and powder, followed by lemon juice, then stir lightly with the spoon or a small whisk. (Professional bakers: feel free to sift these dry ingredients into the flour first. My kids just love the acid-base bubbles too much, so I make sure to lightly whisk any clumps after the oohs and AAAS are through.)
Fold the flour by half cups into the batter. At this point, the bubbling grows!
Pour the batter into the cups up to 3/4 full. I like to use a 1/3 measure cup as a spoon to fill my pan.
Bake for 18-20 minutes, cool for 2 in the tray, and remove to a wire rack to cool ccompletely.
We had just enough batter left to make ~6 mini-muffins too. These cooked in just 9 minutes (don't forget to put water in the empty tin cups) and were delicious right out of the oven! My girls decided that they want these every day now. :-)
After your cupcakes cool, ice as desired (we have tried lime gelatin sugar frosting!) or let the lime and coconut flavors shine through with a simple powdered sugar dusting.

I am a fan of the pensive looks.
We had to work some magic on this one. Obviously the dude in the middle was not happy!!
So then we had to take a fun one after working so hard…
I am a fan of the pensive looks.
At 8 months old, this is not a specific milestone portrait – other than having pictures taken every month, which I do think is a good idea. I used the guitar because the hubby insists that Kiefer is a natural and actually plucks the strings instead of grabs and yanks like his older siblings.

Mitt Romney Takes Big Risks To Score Points In Debate #1
- Mitt Romney made more disputable claims that could come back to bite him in the ass;
- Romney's people (sans Chris Christie) sold the media on low expectations;
- Romney essentially embraced his modern Republican self to survive.
Obama, on the other hand, didn't really say anything that Romney or the GOP can use in a TV ad. And while some progressives/liberals may take issue with them agreeing on things, let's flip the perspective here: when a challenger agrees with the incumbent, then what's the incentive for voting the incumbent out of office?
Overall, I don't see any minds being changed. Romney did better than most Republicans expected and Obama didn't deliver the knock-out punch many Democrats were hoping for. But I don't see any fence-sitters picking a side just yet.
UPDATE: Here is a transcript of the debate, and here is one DU poster's take on why Obama didn't metaphorically beat Romney senseless: "the backfire effect."

Unlike most hydrangea varieties, endless summer blooms until the first frost, producing flowers on new growth and old wood. Reaching up to 5 feet in height in a single season, the perennial shrub's fast growth and long blooming period make it a popular addition to gardens across the country. Because of its ability to produce new blossoms without the previous year's growth, endless summer hydrangea also thrives in cooler climates where other varieties may fail. Like other hydrangeas, flower color depends upon soil acidity, and gardeners can change the color of blooms by amending the soil. Hardy to USDA zone 4, the plant requires minimal care to thrive and flower throughout the United States.
Plant endless summer hydrangea during late spring in a location that receives at least six hours of bright sunlight each day and has well-drained, rich soil. Space endless summer hydrangea plants 7 to 10 feet apart.
Water thoroughly once each week to provide plenty of moisture for the roots. Allow the soil to dry slightly between each application. Pour the water directly over the soil to avoid wetting the foliage and increasing the plant's vulnerability to disease.
Feed endless summer hydrangea plants once per year during late spring or early summer using a slow-release 10-30-10 NPK fertilizer. Follow the directions provided on the package for the best results.
Prune once per year during late winter to keep the plant visually appealing, healthy and growing in a compact habit. Use pruning shears to cut back any excessively long growth and remove any damaged or diseased limbs.
Apply a 2- to 3-inch layer of mulch over the soil surrounding endless summer hydrangeas during late fall, just before the first frost of winter, to insulate the soil and protect the crown and roots from cold damage. Remove the mulch during early spring after the threat of frost has passed.

Al Pacino powers his way through this incendiary real-life thriller as American TV producer Lowell Bergman. He persuades fired tobacco industry scientist Jeffrey Wingard (Russell Crowe) to blow the whistle on the dodgy dealings of his former bosses.
But then Bergman's colleagues (including Christopher Plummer's TV anchorman Mike Wallace) get cold feet, a ruthless smear campaign is launched and both the men's futures are on the line…
Director Michael Mann's dynamic true story drama stokes up some scintillating sparks from its two contrasting stars. Pacino's blustering charisma and Crowe's brooding anxiety are a riveting combination and the white hot script blasts into its big business targets with a merciless precision.
Taut, intelligent and completely addictive.

Art Under Glass
By Linda Tancs
Chihuly Garden and Glass is a sculptural oasis in Seattle, Washington. Its centerpiece is the Glasshouse, a 40-foot-tall, glass and steel conservatory hosting a 100-foot-long suspended floral sculpture in eye-popping hues of red, orange, yellow and amber. You can learn more about the artist, Dale Chihuly, at the eight galleries and three drawing walls that offer a comprehensive collection of his work. Outdoors, the lush landscape is equally matched by floral installations. The facility is located next to the Space Needle (spectacularly visible inside the Glasshouse) at Seattle Center.
Art Colony of the Midwest
By Linda Tancs
Impressionist painter Theodore Clement Steele found artistic inspiration in the scenic hillsides of southern Indiana in Brown County over a century ago. Others followed, creating an art colony in the Midwest. Steele's life and works (not to mention five hiking trails on 211 acres) make for an interesting visit at T.C. Steele State Historic Site. Enjoy guided tours of Steele's studio (where early morning light filters through floor-to-ceiling windows) and home, hike one of his well-trodden trails or stroll through Selma Steele's restored gardens. The property is located in Belmont, midway between Bloomington and Nashville, Indiana.
An Art Colony in Connecticut
By Linda Tancs
Overlooking the Lieutenant River, the Florence Griswold Museum in Old Lyme, Connecticut, is a National Historic Landmark. Once the home of a wealthy sea captain, the Late Georgian-style mansion became a boarding house under Miss Florence Griswold, hosting some of the most noted names in American Impressionism forming what became known as the Lyme Art Colony. This museum of art and history tells the story of how Connecticut played a pivotal role in fostering American artists.
Indigenous Art in Paraguay
By Linda Tancs
Seventeen indigenous ethnic groups call Paraguay home, resulting in an array of indigenous art. Basketwork and feathered ornaments predominate, hallmarks of the Guaraní peoples. Feathered cloaks are particularly striking, once reserved exclusively for shamans. Other handiworks find expression in ceramics and wood carvings. Three museums proudly showcase the indigenous art form: Andrés Barbero Ethnographic Museum, the Guido Boggiani Museum, and the Museum of Indigenous Art.
The Graves of Arles
By Linda Tancs
Southwest of the center of Arles in southern France is the ancient Roman necropolis, Les Alyscamps. Later a Christian burial ground, the path lined with numerous sarcophagi was a subject of paintings by Van Gogh and his onetime roommate, Gauguin. Van Gogh was quite prolific while residing in Arles; the Van Gogh trail is a self-guided walking tour highlighting points of artistic inspiration.
Town of Storehouses
By Linda Tancs
Kurashiki, Japan is an old market town near the Golden Route linking Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka and Hiroshima. Dating to the Edo Period, the picture-perfect city is prized for its preserved canal district, dotted with willow trees and old storehouses converted into museums, boutiques and cafes. Don't miss the Ohara Museum of Art (Japan's oldest museum for Western art) and the displays of Bizen-yaki pottery, an ancient pottery style perfected over 1000 years ago.
Getting to Know Wallace
By Linda Tancs
If you were asked to name London's best museums, what would be on your list? The British Museum? V&A? Tate? National Gallery? Chances are, you wouldn't think of The Wallace Collection. Featuring the collections of the first four Marquesses of Hertford and Sir Richard Wallace, the son of the 4th Marquess, this national museum boasting 25 galleries is a real gem located in Hertford House, a London townhouse. Its most prominent exhibits include paintings by Titian, Rembrandt, Hals and Velázquez and eighteenth-century French paintings, porcelain, furniture and gold boxes. But don't stop there. Be sure to view the stunning array of Limoges enamels and striking arms and armor. Beat the crowds and visit on New Year's Day.


text: This week we had our first swimming sessions of Year 5. We enjoyed it so much; we can't wait for next weeks. We were tested on our abilities of swimming. On Tuesday we did science… We learnt about gases and how we use it. We came up with lots of ideas e.g. inhaler, deodorant, cooker and a heater.On Wednesday, we watched Moses it made us feel sad, happy, tearful. It really made us think about how life was like in Egypt and feel as a slave or a Pharaoh. On Thursday we did French. We had a go at French bingo, we had to write six numbers on our whiteboard then our teacher read out numbers .When we said `Bingo` we had to read out our numbers in French. We learnt about the Titanic we learnt about it's journey before it sank.by Iain & Greg

Releasing Women to Speak The Word
In these days we see the Lord bringing wholeness to the Body of Christ. Religious and denominational walls, racial walls, and gender walls are breaking down. It seems that the last to really feel the impact are the issues surrounding the roles of women within the home, the Church and the world.
"The Lord is equipping and releasing women into their callings and full potential"
Old, traditional, non-Scriptural concepts of value and acceptance of women are being exposed. Did God really design the female as an after-thought relegated to silence and domination as a result of the fall? We believe the answer is a resounding "No!" Scholarly, Spirit-filled men (and women) are looking at the Bible with new eyes as they consider the most accurate and fruitful pattern of careful study. These include historical setting, grammatical structure and critical evaluation of passages in the light of all other Scripture. Without careful consideration of all three steps, one can make any verse mean anything one likes. There is an ever-increasing understanding of God's Word and His heart toward liberty for women in the Church. Our eyes are being opened to see what was said and done through Jesus and Paul.
Paul must be one of the most slandered men of the faith. Until I did some research, I used to think he was like a little "banti rooster" who didn't like women and wanted them muzzled. Now I know he respected, released, encouraged, promoted and valued women as they moved in their God-ordained roles bringing necessary correction in specific situations as needed to both men and women.
The Lord is equipping and releasing women into their callings and full potential not just in ministry to other women alone, but to the entire Body of Christ. Weights of bondage, shame and perceived inabilities to function alongside men in declaring the Word of God and doing the works of the kingdom are lifting. God's divine order is being re-established as women come alongside men (note: alongside, not to take over). Mutual respect frees women from the need to defend themselves or seek for a platform.
"As we respect the anointing on each other we can rejoice in releasing them to be all that God has designed them to be."
Ministry can flow out of the life of the One who lives within us. Often we women have a difficult time believing that when God anoints, He appoints. It's apparent that God appoints His "daughters" to prophesy, preach, teach and assume leadership roles alongside His "sons" in the local church, the Body of Christ at large, and the world "out there." We long to see men and women mutually submitting to and encouraging one another, expressing humility in character and trusting God for His promotion and placement. As we respect the anointing on each other we can rejoice in releasing them to be all that God has designed them to be. Areas where we see more women moving into freedom as the outpouring of the Holy Spirit continues are the prophetic, intercession, teaching, preaching, discipling and evangelism. All of these, of course, require the release of the spoken Word.
The enemy has thoroughly deceived large segments of the Church to prohibit Christian women from spoken ministry. However God's Word brings light, liberty, hope and vision. Just as Mary brought forth the Word of Life to set mankind free, so God desires for His daughters to bring forth words of life empowered by the Holy Spirit. My heart as far as ministry is concerned is very simple — "find a need and fill it!" Too many hurting, wounded, hungry people out there need to see and hear the life of Christ manifested in and through us. They need to hear releasing words of life spoken by women as well as men. Unfortunately, some think that ministry is to be carried on only in the local church and that one can't do it without a platform, an ordination, or committee approval. What a paltry, inhibiting idea!
For men and women, the work of the ministry is wherever we are, whether we are teachers, nurses, lawyers, clerks, homemakers, factory workers, bus drivers, and so on. Believe me when God says "your gifting makes room for you (Pr 18:16) He means it, and in His perfect timing, every door that needs to be opened, will be opened. Who can close a door that He has opened? Only our own disobedience or fear can keep us from going through, but that's our choice, not someone else thwarting the purposes of God in our lives. If God has a purpose and plan for our lives, no man can stop Him.
A dear, liberated, fruitful sister, Fuchsia Picket, said recently, "Where He guides, He provides; where He provides, He promotes; what He promotes, He protects. If He doesn't guide, then forget the rest of it... you don't have to promote yourself."

Great Poem Jaqueline!
Love to me my Kingdom is
Love to me is what love does
Love to me is conquering one self
Love is but today what tomorrow will be
Love can be a story untold
Love can be a heart of pure gold
Love can be a simple good deed
Love can be today what yesterday was

Love is doubtless and bold
Love is communication I'm told
Love is now what today maybe.

Love will win no matter what prevails
Love will conquer great and small
Love will be our today's yesterday

Russian Embassy, Bayswater Road, London, UK. 13th January, 2016. London, UK. Adult-film star Samantha Bentley, also known for her appearance in Game of Thrones, joins a protest held outside the Russian Embassy in London. The TV star wore a space helmet and her body painted to resemble a monkey whilst she lay in a pool of fake blood. The demonstration was held to protest against Russia's plans to send four macaque monkeys to Mars in 2017. Other protesters called on Russia to use "exclusively high-tech, 21st century space-exploration methods in its space programme – not non-human primates".

IPL 2018, DD vs CSK: Delhi Daredevils probable playing XI to take on Chennai Super Kings
Bottom-placed Delhi Daredevils are set to take on the Chennai Super Kings at the Feroz Shah Kotla in New Delhi, in what is considered to be a dead rubber in the Indian Premier League this season.
The Daredevils have confirmed their place at the bottom of the points table after just three wins in twelve matches this season. Despite putting on big scores and despite their batsmen constantly performing well, they have failed to get the right results. Their bowling has been their main problem as they have leaked too many runs and failed to pick up wickets at the right moments.
They will now face the Chennai Super Kings, who have already qualified for the playoffs and all but confirmed their place in the top two of the league. The Daredevils will be playing for pride and hoping to finish the season on a high.
Let's take a look at their predicted XI:
Prithvi Shaw came into the playing XI midway through the tournament and has looked extremely solid at the top of the order. Apart from a couple of failures, he has given his side a brisk start on a number of occasions. He will look to continue to make a mark for himself in the upcoming matches and get the selectors to notice him.
Colin Munro played just a handful of matches this season and has not been able to make much of an impact. He got going in a couple of matches and failed in the other few. However, given Jason Roy's poor form with the bat, we could expect to see him back at the top of the order for the remaining two matches.
Shreyas Iyer took over the captaincy reigns from Gautam Gambhir midway through the season. Unfortunately, he wasn't able to get the desired results. However, he has been effective with the bat as he has scored a couple of matchwinning knocks for his side. He will look to end the season on a high and help his side gain some pride.
Rishabh Pant has been the best batsman for the Daredevils this season and arguably one of the best batsmen in the entire tournament. He has taken on the opposition bowlers with aplomb and smashed them all over the park. He even became the first Indian to score a century this season, only to see his side lose the match.
Vijay Shankar had a slow start to the season and wasn't able to get the desired results. However, he bounced back later on and was able to get a few worthy contributions to his name with the bat and the ball. He will look to make a mark for himself in the final two matches and get the national selectors to notice his performances.
Abhishek Sharma played his first match of the season against the Royal Challengers Bangalore and played an exceptional knock of 46 in 19 deliveries. He looked extremely confident at the crease and was able to take on the bowlers with ease. He will surely be a part of the playing XI for the final two matches as well.
Amit Mishra has performed decently with the ball but would have hoped to have picked up a lot more wickets throughout the tournament. He has been quite expensive with the ball and will hope to improve upon this aspect of his game in the upcoming matches.
Mohammed Shami will most likely make a comeback to the side for the remaining two matches. He has not been able to make an impact in the few matches he has played this season and will hope to turn things around.
Sandeep Lamichhane played his first match of the season against RCB and was extremely effective with the ball, picking up one wicket and conceding just 25 runs in four overs. The team management will continue to persist with him for the remaining games as well.
Junior Dala, too, played his first match of the season against RCB, however, he failed to make an impact as he conceded 34 runs in three overs. He will hope for the selectors to give him another chance.
Trent Boult has led the Daredevils' bowling attack but has had quite a topsy-turvy season. He has not been able to pick up a lot of wickets and has conceded quite a few runs as well. He will hope to improve on his performances in the remaining two matches.

Schatz (walking into the kitchen with her blankie wrapped around her shoulders): YOU are the MEANEST mom I've ever had!
Me: Why am I the meanest mom you've ever had?
Schatz: Because YOU didn't wake me up this morning! You KNOW I like you to wake me up in the morning.
Me: Yes, I did. Don't you remember? I said, "Good Morning, Schatz." and I pulled the comforter over you. You looked at me and snuggled up on Daddy and gave him a Koala hug.
Schatz (composing herself and straightening her shoulders): WELL, You KNOW I hate it when you say (using a fake pleasant voice for emphasis)"Good Morning"....AND I like to be called KATIE in the morning, not SCHATZ!!

Monday Musings, edition three | TV shows, a wedding, + good times/
Heyyyyyy guys. Another Monday is here! And if I'm being honest, this one kind of snuck up on me. The majority of last week was fairly uneventful and low-key, but the weekend felt like a whirlwind!?
>> Last weeks Monday Musings post, I started off with the simple question of wanting to know where Fall is.. I'm happy to report as I type right this second, it's a crisp 54 degrees outside! ALL THE HEART EYES!!!
>> Ooh......and for anyone curious about the lizard, also mentioned in last weeks post... He was caught. He gone. Praise.
>> Last Wednesday, the reality show hit SURVIVOR returned. Where my Survivor fans at!? Wes and I both have pretty much watched this show since it's inception. I've missed a few seasons here and there, but I honestly don't know if he has?? Who out there watches too and wants to talk about the first episode!? Hit me up in the comments!
>> On Friday evening, after my friend got off from work, we had a little friend date. Now let me explain something. She isn't my friend, she's my frand. We've called each other this for years. So, now that I've explained that, let me say this again - On Friday, after my frand got off work, we had a little frand date. There, that's better.
Her and I usually have long frand dates, complete with endless shopping, food, dessert, etc. But with a Friday night, a wedding for me the next day, and the fact that she (and her fave guy) had literally signed docs for their first house one hour prior (WHAAAT!) we went for the basics. Chipotle, duh. Then Target, for one thing only - cookie dough. We totally brought spoons with us (not our first rodeo), and proceeded to sit in my car, and eat a little of it like the savages we are.
>> Saturday morning rolled around, and it was wedding time yet again! Deer Creek Golf Club is easily one of my favorite venues, so I'm always thrilled when I get to document a wedding there! And whoohoo, Britney and James' day was there! Not only that, but I finally finally got to work with the DJ's I've been itching to work with!! Kelly and Susan Howe of Howe Weddings you guys.. Like, FAVORITE. I absolutely loveddddddd working with them!! They are on point when it comes to organization, execution, and making sure every single thing that happens is top shelf. Us together were referred to as "the dream team", and I couldn't agree more!!
Here are a few sneak peeks! And as always, more can be found on Facebook!
That right there is a good-looking wedding party!!
Britney and James had so many unique touches to their day! Britney did a first look with her sweet Dad, which is something I adore! I can't wait to process their entire wedding and share more!
>> Sunday brought about the "wedding hangover" - it's real you guys. So real. I worked a little, and then Wes and I finally watched the brand new tv show premiere of "This is Us"... Anyone familiar? Wowzers. Talk about a cry fest. I feel like it's been a long time since a show came out that has this much heart. Definitely worth watching you guys!!
I think that's all for now you guys! Until next time!

Researchers in our group continue to use special instruments to look at ice and soil below ground. Did you know that soil in the Arctic is frozen? You can dig a hole to roughly 15 inches before you hit solid ice. The instruments that we have can tell us where frozen soil is located and how deep it is. Students from the high school came today and watched us work for a while. One of our scientists talked to them and explained how some of our equipment works. They were very interested and surprised that we could "see" things buried deep in the ground.
We took a break this afternoon and drove around the town of Barrow. None of the streets are paved; all of them are dirt. Do you know why? Concrete streets like we have in Knoxville would crack and buckle in the cold environment of Barrow. Can you imagine the size of an Arctic pothole in the streets of Barrow?
In driving around town, we saw several interesting signs and paintings. These appear all around town; some are even painted on the sides of buildings. People in Barrow are proud of their town and emphasize that by putting colorful signs where people can easily see them. I like the one of the walrus; there are others of whales, seals, and polar bears. I still have not seen, however, a polar bear.
We also stopped along side the Arctic ocean. The water is cold and only the hardiest of animals can live there. Our group stood in the water for a few minutes. I have been to the coast in South Carolina and Florida, this is quite different. No one ever goes swimming in the Arctic ocean because it is just too cold. When you stand on the beach of the Arctic Ocean, the North Pole is still more than a thousand miles north. We live on a very, very big planet!
I will talk to you again tomorrow. I hope you are ready to hear about the local football team; the Whalers. I will also try to find a few surprises for you as well! Study hard and stay tuned...

Fans of the series have put enough quarters in the arcade machines and spent countless hours in the lab to know what to expect from the Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection.
Even a few months after release, it's safe to say some players are still struggling with some of Dragon Ball FighterZ' core concepts.
Considering Kenny Omega's appearance in Cody's Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition character trailer, we think sharing this top ten list is pretty fitting.
One of the most beloved Street Fighter and Capcom characters is making a return to the virtual arena. This time as DLC for Season 3 of Street Fighter V.
We all remember where we were when we first laid our eyes on the initial trailer for Marvel vs Capcom: Infinite. Most importantly, we remember our reaction to Chun-Li's messed up character model.
SNK's upcoming Tag Team Frenzy featuring the powerful ladies from publisher's different fight game franchises has a fresh new trailer for our viewing pleasure.
Fighting game–and visual novel–hipsters will clean their square-shaped glasses and eat their avocado toasts as they tell you about 'Under Night In-Birth'.
Street Fighter's 30th Anniversary Collection hits stores next week and Capcom have continued their brilliant preview coverage with another retrospective video.
Unless your primary residence is a very large rock with little to no Internet access, you know that Yoshimitsu has officially been revealed for SoulCalibur VI.
Super Smash on Nintendo Switch is so damn close we can smell its lovely scent as it approaches us with arms wide open.

I love these lines from John Chapman (1865-1933), an English Benedictine abbot known especially for his work in retreat leading:
��the only way to pray is to pray; and the way to pray well is to pray much. If one has no time for this, then one must at least pray regularly. But the less one prays, the worse it goes. And if circumstances do not permit even regularity, then one must put up with the fact that when one does try to pray, one can�t pray�and our prayer will probably consist of telling this to God.� (Dom John Chapman. The Spiritual Letters. London: Sheed & Ward Ltd., 1935, 1969, p. 53.)
Continual prayer is best. Regular prayer is good. Without regularity, our prayers may well be honesty about our struggle to pray! I find this encouraging and challenging.

I occasionally get comments from readers. Apparently I have readers, who would have guessed; this is encouraging as it lets me know someone is actually interested in what I write. 'Don't encourage him', I hear some of you mumble, 'he'll only do more of it'. To these nattering nabobs of negativism, I say this: modeling is better than the alternative, which is hanging around in bars, blowing the kid's inheritance (such as it might be) on smoking, drinking and chasing women. But I digress.
So anyway one reader commented on the Big Al stories by asking if I ever built anything stock. Good question, so while I ponder how to get the Allison down in the weeds where any self-respecting rat rod belongs, I decided to get back to the Honda S800. First up was to finish the seam that runs along the fender tops in Bare Metal Foil. This went exceedingly well, to my great pleasure and relief, with only a couple of spots where I trimmed too much off. This sort of long, straight application is where the foil works particularly well.
Next I put on decals and three metal transfer scripts. The
only problem here was the Honda script across the trunk lid, which was
meant to go on after the decal; the plastic backing (predictably) lifted the
decal off and the whole thing wound up a wadded mess in the garbage. Perhaps I
should have clear coated the decal first. Anyway I got out a 3-0
brush I got from Wheels & Wings a few years ago and free-styled the missing
stripe and touched up the foil, followed by a coat of clear. The clear appears to have damaged the stripe on the roof so this may need to be fixed; am I the only one that finds Tamiya decals to be fragile? The clear was Tamiya, not Testor's, although to be fair I may have laid it on a little thick.
Next I had to decide what to do with the inner fenders, which you may recall are supposed to be yellow but are molded in black. (I opened up my S600 kit which is essentially identical; this is molded entirely in white.) I decided to
leave the lousy yellow paint as it was, and detail the engine bay with silver
paint or by scraping off the yellow where black was needed. It's all going to
sit for a few days while the clear sets good and hard, meanwhile I will
have a crack at more bare metal foil on the windshield surround.
So a very nice kit marred by choices made by Tamiya as to what colour to mould different sprues, and by fragile decals. There ought to be a rule: all plastic model kits to be molded in white or light grey.

A potential rally might be in the cards for GBP/JPY, as the pair formed a clear double bottom chart pattern on its 1-hour time frame. The pair has tested the support around the 167.75 level a couple of times last week and found resistance at the neckline around 169.50.
Since the pattern is roughly 175 pips in height, the resulting upside break and rally could be of the same size. Before the uptrend is confirmed though, the pair has yet to make a valid break of the neckline resistance.
On the same time frame though, stochastic is indicating overbought conditions. This means that pound bulls have run out of energy at the moment and could use a quick retracement before resuming its climb. The oscillator is still pointing downward currently and may take a while before reaching the oversold zone and turning upward.
GBP/JPY Technical Forecast
Data from the UK has been promising so far, as yesterday's claimant count change came in much stronger than expected and reflected a larger than projected decline in joblessness. In addition, the BOE minutes showed a unanimous vote in keeping bond purchases and interest rates unchanged.
An upside break from the 169.50 mark could take the pair up to the 171.25 level. Do take note though that yen pairs like this tend to respect psychological levels, which means that traders might take profits around the round numbers.
On the other hand, a selloff back to the double bottom could also be possible if risk sentiment is weak or if there's a lack of catalysts to spur a breakout to the upside. If that's the case, the pair might drop from the 169.00 area back to the 167.75 or 168.00 technical support.
There are no major reports lined up from the UK or Japan for the rest of the trading week so a bit of consolidation is also possible.

The advent of internet has almost crippled letter writing (the one you do through the post office) and have also brought with it common email blunders.
It has dispersed the thronging crowds in post offices who longed to communicate with their loved ones.
Daily, countless electronic mails fly via computers and mobile devices across the world.
So, here are four common email blunders to avoid:
Just like a news story headline, mail subject line gives the recipient a peep into the content of your mail.
This is most important for busy persons/professionals who are bombarded by tonnes of mails. Your mail has more chances of being given the needed attention if it has a subject.
Don't leave your mail naked, ensure you adorn it with a beautiful attire that will leave the receiver drooling to see what's inside.
Except you're sending the mail to your friend, or your mum, there is need for a formal salutation.
Don't make the mistake hitting 'send' without a proper salutation; that's a one email blunder you'd avoid!
There are no hard and fast rule about this as you can use salutations like:
'Hello, Michael', 'Good day, Tochi', or even the normal 'Dear sir/ma'.
Whichever way you want it to be, ensure it is appropriate for the receiver.
This is a bit related to having a salutation. Again, this is where you sell yourself to the reader. If the person has not meet you before, the introduction is the perfect chance to strike a positive impression.
Take a look at this introduction line for one of the mails I sent:
"I'm Adewole, a content development strategist, social media expert. I help individuals/organizations leverage on the power of the new media to build a reputable brand."
A finely cut introduction breaks the defence wall in the heart of the mail receiver and would, invariably, lead him to reading on –you've already hypnotized him.
Depending on your aim, your signing off might be take different dimensions –provided it passes your message well.
It's like leaving a final impression on your recipient; akin to closing the door well after being allowed to enter a room.
"Thanks for your time. I look forward to scheduling a growth hack meeting with you, at your earlier convenience, if my proposal interests you.
Adewole Emeka."

Circumstances compelled Tiz McNamara to shift from drumming to being a singer-guitarist. The new path of singing and playing the guitar has been a revelation as his debut single went on to be streamed more than 2.5 million times on Spotify.
The Irish artist's new single "Slippery Slope" is a beautifully understated folk song with subtle nods to melancholic R&B.

RC topples No. 2 Leland in regionals
by Richard Lamb–Advance Editor
Like two evenly-matched heavyweight fighters, the Leland Comets and the Rogers City Hurons exchanged body blows for 15 bloody rounds last night up to the final bell and a referee's decision. The Hurons outlasted the Comets in five sets (25-23, 21-25, 25-17, 23-25, 15-12) to move on to the regional finals Thursday at 7 p.m. against the host Bellaire Eagles.
Leland, a final-four team from last season, as were the Hurons, came into the match ranked No. 2 in the coaches' poll. Rogers City is ranked No. 8 in the same poll, having defeated No. 5 Onaway in the district finals last week. The two teams played like top-ten teams, fiercely attacking the net and then bracing to return equally potent attacks from the other side.
While the front line, set up by freshman setter Kristin Brege, rocketed strikes against the Leland, the backline of libero Jayna Hance and defensive specialist Hannah Fleming hit the floor to dig most of the Leland's big hitters had to offer.
Heavy hitters Kayla Rabeau and Taylor Fleming were everywhere. Taylor Fleming had 25 kills, 24 digs and seven ace serves while Rabeau added 20 kills with 18 digs. Each took turns taking over the game with their confident and aggressive play. In the critical third set, Taylor Fleming stepped to the service line and delivered four straight points, the last three coming on aces to the uncovered back line of the surprised Leland defense. Rabeau put an exclamation point on the Huron win, slamming match point to the floor from the left-hitter position.
"I just wanted to come out and play a good game, because I know what our potential is. These girls didn't quit," said coach Jackie Quaine who looks to guide her team to its third-straight regional title.
Quaine said the girls were impressive in their blocking schemes with the presence Rabeau, Taylor Fleming, Maddie Hincka, Kyrsten Altman and Catheryn Hart forming a solid wall to shoot over.
Hance had 25 digs, Hannah Fleming had 10 digs, Altman added eight while Brege assisted on 37 kills.
"We all had to come to play. We all had to bring our best game. Everybody did their best," Quaine said.
The Hurons broke out to a 15-10 lead in the first set, following an ace from Hance. Leland came back to tie it at 19-19 before the Hurons took a timeout. Leland got the next point to lead 20-19 before three straight Huron points gave the Hurons a 22-20 lead. Leland won the next three points but a kill from Rabeau from the left side capped a three-point run and a 25-23 win in the first set.
Rogers City saw a 9-5 lead disappear in the second set as the lead changed hands three times before Leland won 25-21.
A smash from Taylor Fleming down the middle of the court gave Rogers City a 7-1 lead in the third set. Her three consecutive aces help build a 13-4 lead for the Hurons. Leland closed to 21-15, but the Hurons held on for a 25-17 lead.
Now facing elimination by trailing 2-1 in the best of five match, Leland came out strong in the fourth set. They led 12-4 before the Hurons cut the lead to 17-14. A missed kill attempt cut the Leland lead to 21-20, and then Rogers City tied it on a Rabeau kill, off a set by Brege. The Comets won the last two points to win 25-23 and force a deciding fifth set.
Played to 15 points in the fifth set, the Hurons got off to a good start leading 4-2. Leland tied it at 4-4 but never led in the deciding game in the 15-12 Huron win.
The winner of the regional will play the winner of the Big Rapids regional between Mt. Pleasant Sacred Heart, ranked 10th in the coaches' poll, and Muskegon Catholic Central, an honorable mention in the poll. That quarterfinal match will be played at Buckley High School, south of Traverse City Tuesday at 7 p.m. The quarterfinal winner would advance to the state semifinals in a bracket that includes top-ranked Plymouth Christian Academy who faces No. 3 North Adams-Jerome in their regional final.
The other teams left in the lower part of the bracket are multiple-time state champion but unranked Battle Creek St. Philip who faces unranked Climax Scotts in their regional final.
In the top half of the bracket, the only top-ten team still alive is seventh-rated Rudyard, who plays Pellston in their regional final. Updates will be posted on the Advance Facebook site and at PIAdvance.com.

With electro-mechanical interlocking machines in terminal decline on North American main line railroads, the NYC Subway stood out as a bastion of classic signaling with more GRS Model 5's and US&S Model 14's than could be found throughout the entirety of the "real" railroad network stretching from coast to coast. Unfortunately, this appears to be coming to an end. Last I addressed this subject the system had just closed two towers at 4th Ave and Church Ave on the Prospect Park Line. This week I learned that three additional towers have closed on the Queens Boulevard line with one to follow shortly.
First I need to catch up on some old news. Way back in 2013 the NYCTA
closed the fishbown 5th Ave tower that worked the junction between the
Queens Boulevard the 6th Ave trunks. This tower was notable for being
able to watch the operator line up alternating straight and diverging
movements between E and M/V trains on a 40 lever GRS Model 5.
The Queens Plaza complex had already been re-signaled in support of the 63rd St connection, but just past it was the Roosevelt Ave crossover complex with another GRS Model 5 equipped tower at the east end of the eastbound platform. Only open as needed, I got some photos of the 60 lever machine back in December of 2015 after someone had left the lights on. I had known that the Queens Boulevard was on track for a CBTC capable re-signaling project, but I had expected that to take years if not decades to complete. Unfortunately I just found out that the tower closed less than a year after :-(
After Roosevelt the normally GRS equipped IND line enters US&S country. Although hard to get photos of due to the presence of a manned dispatch booth, the Continental Ave tower held an 83 lever US&S Model 14 that was also visible from the platform. This interlocking contains not only crossovers, but access to Jamaica Yard from the west. I just learned that its duties were recently transferred to a new N-X style area interlocking panel located in somewhere in the station.
Union Turnpike tower contains a 43 lever US&S machine and mirrors Continental Ave's function for trains accessing the yard from the east. Apparently this tower is still open, but will close soon. For sch a complex signaling project that involved at least a wiff of CTBC I really expected it to take many more years than it did :-(
I'd say I should have tried to get more photos, but the paranoid staff I really did the best I could. As I learned from Church Ave, it's really tough to provide a good "feel" for old NYC Subway towers since there is just so much that is behind the scenes.
In related news, I also got word that the PATH smashboards protecting
the DOCK drawbridge at Harrison have been removed. This was not
unexpected as both the DOCK complex and PATH in general are being
re-signaled. It's a shame that the smashboards did not make the cut as
PATH is keeping its pneumatic trips and switches, but in the age of CBTC
there probably isn't as much of a need to get in the operator's face.
Anyway, sorry for the bad news. Visit NYC while the towers last!

Usually I just drink some booze and sit around like a lump
But this year I've decided to not be such a grump.
I've rounded up my Christmas decorations, from the damp
And have hung them cheerily on the Christmas floor lamp.
Season's Greetings from a pigeon (who's disguised as a Christmas tree)
And Best Wishes from another bird (a robin?) who's boxed in by imaginary worms of ennui
A fake Santa ant says Ho Ho Ho
And an old glove, or rag, or something, has dressed up like a famous reindeer (whose name I think you know)
A silly dog wishes you A Very Merry Christmas, and that's a fact!
And a snail sends warm wishes (though lately he's been becoming generally more and more abstract)
A mother snake and a baby snake send their love
And two fat guys send Christmas Wishes from the "Serpentine Water Trap" hole of a miniature golf course (viewed here from above)
Season's Greetings from that rarity, a horse tadpole
And Best Wishes from a mother horse, and her foal
A Friendly Nod to you! from a jaunty twenty-four-chinned man, who is wearing an Advent cravat
And Season's Greetings from a hideous-looking (but nice) creature who is wearing a Christmas hat
Best Wishes from the Monument To Camaraderie
And a shout out from a Yo-yo tree (oh, but this is just faddery!)
If you look down, you will see a mole sending Christmas Wishes to you
Happy Holidays from a certain bright-nosed reindeer (I think you know who)
Season's Greetings from a cucumber and a leech . . .
I found them in November, on the beach
And Merry Christmas from three partridges in a pear tree
(One is no longer good enough, there have to be three)
Happy New Year from an elephant who is humping a pickup truck

While discussing my 29 things to do before 30 list with my sister-in-law, she jumped in on number #21 - Make 10 new alcoholic drinks. She was totally interested in helping with this one. Perhaps it's due to her being 7 years younger...lol. She's still in the "partying" stage of life, however...she might very well be one of the most mature 22 year old's I've known.
Now, I'm from Texas...and I'm a beer kinda girl. Bud Light to be exact. In my younger mind, drinking a mixed drink was for sissy's. I may be a short 5' 1 100lb girl, but I tend to think like I'm a 6 ft, 200lb guy. - Crazy Texas girl.
My sister-in-law Kristen, first suggested a Mojito. I decided to go with her first suggestion because 1. it uses fresh herbs, 2. it looks pretty. It also sounded like a great drink to go with this new dinner recipe. Which btw, it did!
After dinner, and during a little blog searching, I came across this Mojito Cupcake recipe from Cream Puffs in Venice. As I told Kristen about my find, it was within minutes we realized we had all the ingredients on hand, and decided to make cupcakes! Unfortunately, I don't really recommend the above recipe. It was good, but we altered the cake recipe, as well as the frosting. It was very lime style, little mint flavor before alterations. We'll need to make the recipe with alterations again to perfect it. Until then, here's a photo of our final product.

Three different class structures are catered for:
•Group (up to 3 students, guitar and keyboard only) – mostly suited for beginner to intermediate students, often interactive and provides the opportunity for students to encourage and learn together;
•Semi-Private (2 students) – suitable for any level, particularly intermediate to advanced. We aim to ensure students enjoy more one-to-one teacher attention than is possible in group lessons;
•Private (1 student) - suitable for any level, particularly intermediate to advanced. Most suitable for those students needing/wanting a totally individualised learning program.
The philosophy at Lynbrook Music is simple: that everyone has the ability to enjoy and create music! Research shows that we retain musical knowledge far more effectively than other knowledge. For example, think back to when you were at school. Try to remember a specific fact that a particular teacher taught you. Hard, isn't it. Now try to remember a specific song that you learnt. I'm sure you found that memory a lot easier to recall! The fact is that ALL of us can learn to play and/or sing music! What make is easy or hard for us is our experience of music lessons. At Lynbrook School of Music we strive to make our lessons REF - Relevant, Engaging, and most of all Fun! Our teachers are energetic and enthusiastic, with the goal that each and every student will love music as much as they do themselves. Our facilities and equipment are modern and well maintained. We believe that our school will provide you and your child with the best possible experience of music!
Each year, student achievement is celebrated at our end-of-year concert. Each and every student gets the opportunity to individually perform in front of an engaged and encouraging audience. This is an exciting opportunity for all students to work towards.
Since 2008, Lynbrook School of Music has been providing excellent and exciting instruction to our students. Our team of instructors are motivated by their love of music and the passion to transfer their knowledge and skills to others so their creativity and talent can shine.
Lynbrook School of Music was created through the need to provide additional musical tuition to students of Lynbrook Primary School, beyond that which they were experiencing in their grade music classes. After numerous parent requests, Lynbrook School of Music commenced in March 2008 with an initial enrolment of 25 in Keyboard, Guitar and Drum lessons. This number now exceeds 100 students including those learning Flute, Violin and Singing. We provide music lessons for all ages from Lynbrook and surrounding areas, including Hampton Park, Cranbourne, Hallam, Dandenong, Narre Warren, Lyndhurst, and Skye.
Our professional teachers provide tuition in Piano, Keyboard, Drums, Singing, Vocals, Guitar, Bass, Violin, Flute and Clarinet.

It wakes up in the sky somewhere, stretching and shaking off a sleepy daze. Slowly moving, awakening to the sensations of other air currents, it dives into the river of wind and air swirling around. It's tossed and carried along like a plastic bag on a windy day. Then, in the distance, it spies something marvelous: a lake, so pristine, glimmering faintly in the early morning light, so inviting. It wants to, it could; no, it must!
It shoots towards the water's surface, pulled towards the delicious sight by some unseen force.
It pauses for a moment, hovering just above the water. Stretching out finger-like wisps of itself, it barely brushes the stagnant skin. The water moves for the fragile fingers, ebbing away and apart, giving them room, creating ripples. Ripples. It gasps at the wonder unfolding and folding in front of it. The little waves continue, rippling and growing wider and wider, farther and farther.
There's no hesitation now. It reaches across the entire lake and splashes like a child, frolicking on the surface until the whole body of water is covered in delicate ripples. It chases them and turns them this way and that. It breathes, blowing on the water, watching it move, feeling it yield beneath it. Pure ecstasy.
When I dip my oar in the water, pulling the water toward me, pushing it away, it watches. It rushes past me, whispering,
More, more, more ripples.

Christmas Shopping - 7 days to go - Item #7 Casio
Yes, the keyword today is Casio. They've got a boatload of delicious toys this year. Their slim Exilim cameras are a great gift. The large LCD and slim size of the camera will get anyone excited.
There's also the Casio G'zOne cell phone. They have a nutty little microsite that explains the features. This cell phone is based on the design idea of the G shock watches that are still popular.
If you want to go old school, there's also the Casio DataBank watches. You remember these, the ones that had a full on calculator on the bottom half of the watch. Retro geek-chic!
