Yeah, so I kind of failed once again at updating this week. Sorry about that. Anyway, I've been trying to Tweet about this, but Twitter isn't letting me post and it's getting quite annoying. As many of you know, I'm doing an internship at charity: water and one of the things I've been working on is promotional Twitter backgrounds for them. They finally went up for the public yesterday, so go take a look if you're interested :)
Click here!
[Update] Yeah, so I just searched @charitywater on Twitter to see what kind of response they had gotten to the Twitter backgrounds, and TONS of people had retweeted about them and posted that they were using one. That's kind of awesome :)

Total kitchen remodel took only four weeks, as expected and per written contract. Whomever wrote this prior review, obviously did not state factual evidence and demonstrated lack of evidence such discussion of ie.photos, prior, during, and after demolition. If it was really that bad, then a review that had mismangled grammatical reflection that demonstrated nothing but anger and deceit, let alone poor grammatical penmanship should have been banned from this site. Simply-put, Pacific home renovation did one heck of a fabulous job on my home remodel. If any contractor ever did leave the site, my best advice is take your business elsewhere as " lies" hold no weight in court unless there's actual proof of broken contract- and if someone has enough monies to financially take-on such a demolition, then such a person should have just hired a lawyer or submitted a well-documented, factual letter that contained such tangible evidence to the company as this would have been the mature handling of such situation. But instead, this unsatisfactory woman seemed more pissed off than anything, and this review of such situation seems more like a post indicating accusatory and slanderous statements of calling someone a liar;That's quite inappropriate and immature. Maybe it's true what was posted, but maybe there was reason for this contractor to leave. I would have.

Dealing with this contractor have been a total nightmare! This guy has no business being in business. What was suppose to be a 5-6 week kitchen cabinet project has now become 5 MONTHS overdue! This guy says he will be at my home on a certain day to finish the work and does not show up and/or call us to tell us he will not come, he has done this over 10X's. To make matters worse we try calling him and he would not pick up phone calls or return calls. We are still waiting for him to finish our kitchen cabinets. This is the most UNPROFESSIONAL pos we have had to deal with! I had warned him that I would be contacting DEPARTMENT OF CONSUMER AFFAIRS CONTRACTORS STATE LICENSE BOARD along with BBB because he had left us without a kitchen for 4 months and now it is taking him forever to finish the work. Do not give this guy your hard earned money, he is not worth the headache!
By the way, if you need any proof, I can send you all the emails where he LIES LIES and LIES!

Vestas has announced it is launching the first phase of a global campaign to separate myths from facts and channel public support toward political action favoring wind energy. The company says the Act on Facts campaign embodies a unique approach to dealing with significant business challenges, integrating multiple marketing, communications, and public affairs channels and platforms.
'The wind industry is being attacked by media-savvy and politically influential adversaries who often display a brazen disregard for factual information. The Act on Facts campaign is our way of fighting back," comments Morten Albæk, Vestas Group senior vice president.
Today, Albæk is joining other wind energy stakeholders at a launch event in Australia, a region the company says is a hotbed of anti-wind activity. The event will feature a live panel discussion about the tactics used by anti-wind energy activist groups and what the wind industry can do to counter the claims and convert the so-called "quiet majority" of wind energy supporters into active campaigners.
Together with wind energy players such as Infigen Energy Managing Director Miles George and a panel of experts on climate, health and regional development, Albæk will officially unveil the Act on Facts campaign, including the Web portal actonfacts.org. According to Vestas, the portal features well-documented information to help dispel the scare tactics used by anti-wind activists, as well as up-to-date information on pro-wind initiatives in which local citizens can engage.
Albæk describes Act on Facts as a "bold stroke" to counter anti-wind activists. "Veering off the well-trodden public relations path entails risks," he says. "But playing it safe is even riskier."

Three years ago. I can't believe it. I know at some point we won't celebrate the day Josh proposed to me, but until that day comes- I will celebrate, dang it! It was a wonderful day- one that changed our lives! For our engagement story, click here.
People ask me a lot, "How did you know that you wanted to marry Josh?" And honestly, my answer is less than romantic. I knew that Josh had all the qualities I wanted in a husband- loved the Lord, served others, we had fun together and could talk about anything. Don't get me wrong- I love me some Josh Bierman. The longer we are together, the more I am realizing how great of a match we are. However, making the choice to pursue marriage with one another is a big decision, not one that should be taken lightly. It finally came to a point where we just chose. We chose that of all the other guys or girls that love the Lord, serve, are fun, and can converse openly that THIS was the one for us.
Undoubtedly, my life would be completely different if I hadn't married Josh, and I am forever grateful he asked me for my hand. He makes me laugh, humbles me, encourages me, and teaches me. I wouldn't trade him for the world.
I love you, JRB! Thanks for asking me to marry you.

Next was design and built during a hackthon event in Taipei back in 2015 fall. Our founder Kevin Hon Chi Hang went there to look for talented developer to join the company. The best way to find the right person is to work with them directly. He is fortunate enough to team up with some talented developers and project manager to hack on a small projects in 36 hours.
We chose to build a mini game that run on Andriod platform. It is a game that need the player to tap the number in the right sequence within a certain amount of time. We walked through out idea and the game flow in the moring then hack on the app directly afterwards. After almost 20 hours of continuous working, we were able to lock down the design and the basia function in a presentable manner.
We ended up with being chosen to be the finalise of this event. It was a great experenice for hiring tho.
The Project Flow
The game logomark and identity was built on the fly along with designing the game user interface. We pull down some game interfaces and logo for references from dirbbble, behance and pintereset, then narrow them down by filtering out some one page interfaces.
Here are some of the references;
Building the mark on top of the grid
To make the button tap looks more responsive on the play interface, we added some depth under each button to make it looks lifted up, so we can create the press effect on it.
This is the symbol of the app, so why not make it as our logomark.
The choice of color
Game Demo Video
Thank you my friend.
Got a project? We'd love to hear about it.
Now you've seen our selected work and have a basic idea about our process. If you think there is anything we can help, from tiny little stuff like leaflet, newsletter to a big project like application design and development. Feel free to send us a message, phone call or email. We can have a coffee somewhere around the world or chat via the internet.

There was a Dickens exhibit on at the New York Public Library, with a display for A Tale of Two Cities that included some items of interest for Madame Defarge:
World Wildlife Fund's National Sweater Day is on 7 February!
"On Feb 7th, lower your heat and put on your favorite sweater to take action against climate change and work towards a sustainable future. Join Canadians across the country fighting climate change by conserving energy and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. If every Canadian lowered the heat by just 2º C this winter, it would reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 4 Megatons! So lower the heat, wear that sweater and make the world a better place for your Grandchildren!"
I'll be working on my Fair Isle sweater, and probably be wrapped in a handknit blanket as well. It's cold round here!
Photos coming soon of a belated Christmas scarf and a soon-to-be-complete mini Doctor Who Fourth Doctor scarf - whose recipient will be a surprise fellow blogger!

"Office Olympics" is the third episode of the second season of the television series The Office, and the show's ninth episode overall. It was written by Michael Schur and directed by Paul Feig. It originally aired on October 5, 2005 on NBC. The episode guest starred Nancy Carell, the real-life wife of series star Steve Carell, as Carol Stills.
The series depicts the everyday lives of office employees in the Scranton, Pennsylvania branch of the fictional Dunder Mifflin Paper Company. In the episode, Michael Scott (Steve Carell) and Dwight Schrute (Rainn Wilson) leave the office to buy a condo. Meanwhile, Jim Halpert (John Krasinski), along with Pam Beesly (Jenna Fischer), organizes office games and gets his co-workers to play them.
"Office Olympics" was inspired by The King of the Hill Office Olympics, which were created and ran by members of the television show King of the Hill. After the episode aired, other "Office Olympics" were organized in actual offices across the country. The episode marks the first appearance of Mose, Dwight's Amish cousin, played by writer Mike Schur. Mose was based on an actual person, with the same name, on the UPN reality show Amish in the City. The episode contained several cultural references, with many alluding to the actual Olympic games. "Office Olympics" received largely positive reviews from critics. The episode earned a Nielsen rating of 3.9 in the 18–49 demographic and was viewed by 8.3 million viewers.
While Michael Scott (Steve Carell) leaves with Dwight Schrute (Rainn Wilson) to sign closing papers for his new condominium, the staff fills out their expense reports. Jim Halpert (John Krasinski) "dies" of boredom, and Pam Beesly (Jenna Fischer) revives him by calling him to the reception desk and throwing objects into Dwight's coffee mug. Jim discovers that his co-workers have their own office games, such as Toby Flenderson's (Paul Lieberstein) "Dunderball", and Kevin Malone (Brian Baumgartner) and Oscar Martinez's (Oscar Nunez) "paper football flicking and hitting" game, "Hateball" (named because of Angela's dislike for the game). Jim and Pam organize the Games of the First Dunder Mifflin Olympiad, competing for hand-made medals constructed from yogurt lids and paper clips.
At the condominium signing, Michael discusses the deal with his realtor, Carol Stills (Nancy Carell). Dwight finds a variety of things wrong with the condominium, and, at the very end of the deal, Michael gets cold feet but relents when he learns that backing out of the deal will cost him a substantial amount of money. When Michael and Dwight return, the coffee cup race quickly dissolves, and the office returns to normal. Michael isolates himself in his office, still upset over the closure of his condo.
When Ryan Howard (B. J. Novak) throws away his gold medal, Jim and Pam organize the "closing ceremonies", believing them important to the office staff. Michael is awarded a medal for closing on his condo, and the gesture appears to give him some reassurance of his decision. Michael feels touched by this and thanks everyone for the honor.
"Office Olympics" was written by Michael Schur. This episode was the first episode of the series directed by Paul Feig.[2] Producer Greg Daniels said the idea for the actual Office Olympics stemmed from The King of the Hill Office Olympics, which were created and ran by Daniel's former assistant Tim Croston and the show's two production assistants at the time: Tony Gennaro and Seranie Manoogian. The games were held in the King of the Hill offices, where Daniel served as executive producer. Daniels later elaborated on the types of games they played, stating "Like, who's going to get off the elevator first and races in chairs. The funny thing is then it became a TV episode and it has now gone full circle and I hear offices are doing it all over."[3] After the episode aired, other "Office Olympics" were organized in actual offices across the country. The Chicago Tribune organized an interview with a majority of The Office cast members who—in character—explained the rules to the various games.[4] The Yogurt Lid Medals reappear in the third season finale, "The Job": Receiving the lid and a note from Pam is the catalyst for Jim's decision between Pam and Karen.[5]
When choosing Michael's car for the episode, producer Kent Zbornak brought in pictures of various cars and had the writers choose which one they thought Michael would most likely own. The writers ended up choosing a Chrysler Sebring convertible, because according to B. J. Novak "we figured it's the showiest car that he could afford". While shooting the scene in Michael's car, cameraman Randall Einhorn accidentally broke the back window, which ended up costing $859 to replace.[6]
Writer Mike Schur made a cameo appearance in the episode, appearing in a photograph as Dwight's Amish cousin Mose. The idea for Schur to be Dwight's Amish cousin had been a joke among the writers since the first season. Mose was based on an actual participant, with the same name, on the UPN reality show Amish in the City.[7]
Cultural references[edit]
After telling Ryan he can take his pants off and run around the office, Michael makes a direct reference to the 1983 teen comedy-drama film Risky Business.[8] Dwight compares his friendship to Michael, using the analogy that Michael is "like Mozart, and I'm like... Mozart's friend. No. I'm like Butch Cassidy and Michael is like... Mozart."[9] When Michael asks Pam if she had his magazine subscriptions changed to his new address, he mentions Small Businessman, American Way, Maxim, Cracked, and the fictitious Fine Arts Aficionado Monthly. When touring his condo, Michael makes a Mr. Bill joke to the head of the condo association, whose name is Bill. The jokes are a reference to the clay figurine star of a parody of children's shows that was part of Saturday Night Live.[8]
Due to the nature of the episode, several explicit references are made to the Olympic Games. When Jim starts the Office Olympics by lighting the "Torch", he hums "Olympic Fanfare and Theme" by John Williams, one of the themes for the actual Olympic games. When the games are finished, the employees play a recording of "The Star Spangled Banner".[8]
"Office Olympics" originally aired on NBC in the United States on October 4, 2005.[10] The episode was viewed by 8.3 million viewers and received a 3.9 rating/9% share among adults between the ages of 18 and 49. This means that it was seen by 3.9% of all 18- to 49-year-olds, and 9% of all 18- to 49-year-olds watching television at the time of the broadcast.[11] An encore presentation of the episode, on April 25, 2006, received 1.8 rating/6% share and was viewed by over 4.3 million viewers.[12]
"Office Olympics" received mostly positive reviews. Michael Sciannamea of TV Squad wrote that "The Office has turned the corner into separating itself from the British version." Sciannamea went on to say that "although Michael still garners the most attention, the other characters are beginning to break out." His only criticism of the episode was that "Dwight is too creepy", Sciannamea suggested that the writers "tone down his insanity a bit".[13] "Miss Alli" of Television Without Pity graded the episode with a "A-".[8] Erik Adams of The A.V. Club awarded the episode an "A" and called it the show's "first truly classic episode", due to the added "verve" of both plots.[14] Adams praised the way the main story and Jim and Pam's stories were intercut with each other, so that both could play off of each other; he wrote that "Michael Schur's a great writer, and Paul Feig knows how to let superb comedic performances flow from his actors, but the stitch-up job here makes the two halves of the episodes complementary when they could've rocketed in opposite directions and ripped 'Office Olympics' apart."[14]
Entertainment Weekly named Dwight's line comparing his relationship with Michael to Mozart and Butch Cassidy as one of "TV's funniest lines" for the week ending October 10, 2005.[9] When Pam tries to get Angela to play the games with her fellow employees, Angela cattily reveals that she plays a game called "Pam Pong", where she counts how many times Jim goes to talk to Pam at her reception desk.[8] Pop punk band Sweet Diss and the Comebacks later named one of their songs—a "[Pam] Beesly tribute"—after the game.[15]

Ryan first got involved in disability sport after an accident in 2006. In May 2007 he was introduced to a number of other sports at the Stoke Mandeville Spinal Unit Games. This was where he first tried target shooting.
Off the back of this introduction, he decided to take up shooting as a hobby, visiting his local range twice a week to train. As he progressed, he entered local competitions and found he had a buzz for competition. Shortly afterwards, he took part in trials for the GB team.
His first taste of international competition was the 2010 IPC Shooting World Cup in Sczcecin, Poland, where he returned home with four trophies. Since then, he has been a full-time athlete.
On his Paralympic debut at London 2012 Ryan competed in two events, finishing in 21st place in the R4 10m air rifle standing mixed SH2 and 17th in the R5 10m air rifle prone mixed SH2.
Another highlight of Ryan's London 2012 experience was when he carried the Olympic flame on the Olympic Torch Relay.
On his second Games appearance at Rio 2016 Ryan narrowly missed out on a top eight finish which would have seen him progress to the final in both the R4 and R5 air rifle events.
Away from the range, Ryan also enjoys wheelchair rugby.

Like I need another project, but how could I not begin this sweet baby blanket? Oh the colours, the gorgeous wool and the compulsion to make something pretty really won out last night over every other project and it makes me smile.
I have no idea what I will do with this blanket when it's finished, I might tuck it away for a special baby girl in the future or I might see if anyone would like to purchase it, all I know is that I'm enjoying the process greatly.
While still on the crochet front, I have signed up for Jellywares on Marshall Autumn yarn club and can not wait to receive my first yummy parcel of goodies early next month.
Well back to making a few more rows before an early night.

RE: Travel League Under 17
yesterday I had an interesting argument with a very knowledgable ref. Situation was: -Blue attacking, forward close to the goal line puts in a nice cross, subsequently falling behind the goal line. -Defender intercepts cross, brings it down and then passes backwards, kind of to his goalie -In the meantime attacker gets back on his feet and comes back into field of play -Intercepts the backpass and scores Linesman flags for offside, center waives him down (in his interpretation ball was an intentional backpass from defender) Just to clarify: attacker did not stay outside field of play long at all, basically slid out, got to his feet and came back on - no trickery involved. My knowledgable colleague says: any time a player comes back from behind the goal line is flagged for offside when receiving the ball - even if the ball comes from opponent. is that true? Is there a rule that trumps the regular offside rules when a player goes out of play momentarily? Thx
HI Tom, t he LOTG state thusly An attacking player may step or stay off the field of play not to be involved in active play. If the player re-enters from the goal line and becomes involved in play before the next stoppage in play, or the defending team has played the ball towards the halfway line and it is outside their penalty area, the player shall be considered to be positioned on the goal line for the purposes of offside. A player who deliberately leaves the field of play and re-enters without the referee's permission and is not penalised for offside and gains an advantage, must be cautioned Based on your example nothing was done deliberately The Attacker maybe in an offside position but it is not an offence and it is not USB thus kudos to the CR for waving the flag off.by understanding the attacker slid off through natural playing action and did not deliberately step out to show non involvement, so his return into the field of play is not a reason to punish him for offside unless the ball is last touched by his teammates which you indicate did not occur. The LOTG also state A player in an offside position receiving the ball from an opponent who deliberately plays the ball (except from a deliberate save by any opponent) is not considered to have gained an advantage. The pass from the defender was an indication of control and possession not a save or a deflection or rebound thus I see no reason to award offside? There is no reason to caution the defender which if the CR HAD considered him as re-entering without permission would have done so I am ok with the goal and not ok with the knowledgeable colleague's knowledge here! He needs to reassess and change his thinking on this matter. It is understandable though that when the LOTG undergo changes these things crop up . Cheers
Hi Tom The new amendment to Law 11 has confused your knowledgeable friend. As described it is not offside as the ball was played by a defender to the returning player so the CR was 100% correct that it was not offside. That just cannot be offside. The only and last attacking player to touch / play the ball was the Blue player himself that slid off the field of play so there was absolutely no possibility of offside. Even if the ball rebounded off the defender back to the Blue player it still could not be offside. The AR either thought the ball was played by another Blue attacker or may have been confused the recent change to Law 11. The change states that an attacking player may step or stay off the field of play not to be involved in active play. If the player re-enters from the goal line and becomes involved in play before the next stoppage in play, or the defending team has played the ball towards the halfway line and it is outside their penalty area, the player shall be considered to be positioned on the goal line for the purposes of offside. Now that does not apply to players who slide off or move off as part of play. It is to prevent the player who deliberately moves off to avoid offside, stays off and then re enters to gain a benefit. As the change only applies for the purpose of offside so if there is no play by a team mate to a PIOP there is no possible offside to be considered.You need to put your friend right on this.
Hi Tom, My colleague ref Dawson has quoted the relevant sections of the law. There is nothing there (or anywhere else in the laws) that 'trumps the regular offside rules' so your friend is mistaken. When a player leaves the field like this, the laws only specify how this should be considered in terms of offside position. Since it is not an offence to be in an offside position and the other parts of the offside law have not been contravened, there is no offside offence.

Max and Leon are two orphans who have been best friends since early childhood and both are nothing but trouble. When the Second World War kicks in they are both summoned to serve. Their little town gives a sigh of relief as the two troublemakers are about to be dispatched, hopefully for good. Thus begin the adventures of Max and Leon as they go to war with Hitler, the French, the English, the Arabs and themselves. Here comes trouble!
MAX & LEON is a fine example of what French comedy is about. Echoing the classical film with Louis De Funes "La Grande Vadrouille" (The Grand Promenade), MAX & LEON is a combination of famous French farce, over the top satire and even a musical (a three minute song of dancing German prisoners who tell you why the French people are the worst nation on earth). The jokes come fast and sharp, but some of them do not translate well into the English speaking world.
The duo of MAX & LEON (French comedians Gregoir Ludig and David Marsais) lacks charisma but the guys have good timing (this is not the first film where they are together). The rest of the cast all seem to be having fun, and this is more important for comedy than polished performances. The film is quick, loud and silly, which makes it an easy watch. For every joke you might have missed two new ones are on the way. Many scenes are borderline embarrassing, but it is still better than the average American sitcom.
With all its silliness and madness MAX & LEON has a good soul at its core. The film may be less funny for a non French speaking viewer, but if you love a good laugh and are ready for something different, MAX & LEON may just hit the right spot.

Violets Hand Dyed Burlap; Fat Eighth Yard
Hand dyed burlap is great for a variety of craft and decor projects. It is woven from 100% jute, a plant and is a natural 100% biodegradable material. Slight Imperfections in the weave are normal and add its rustic character.
This piece is a fat quarter yard: approximately 14" x 18". Hand dyed to the color: VIOLETS.
Spot Clean using cold water & mild detergent.
Press or blot dry with a towel and leave it flat to dry.
Or dry clean.
**Do not put natural burlap in your washing machine or dryer. It is okay to get burlap wet, but the unfinished raw edges will unravel and create a mess. **

Fat Dogs Are Getting Fatter
Leave a comment. Let me know your thoughts.
My partner and I stumbled over here from a different web address and thought
I may as well check things out. I like what I see so
now i'm following you. Look forward to looking into your web page again.
My webpage : my ex back
Great post man! As a trainer I deal with this issue everytime I get a new client it seems.
I have gotten rather good at telling people their dogs are morbidly obese and need to lose weight NOW, while still sounding polite. Sometimes I dont WANT to be polite, but such is the way of things.
It's awesome you are speaking out on this, as so many people fail to realize the health issues THEY are causing for their dogs.
Keep it up man, I love your blog!
Thank You KD.ReplyDelete
Great article! I unfortunately have an overweight dog. Thankfully we have quickly set aside the denial and started doing something about it. Long walks, feeding our dogs separately, limiting her foot intake. I think a lot of people find it time consuming to help their dogs lose weight but if you love them, get to work. -AidaReplyDelete
I love the way you write and share your niche! Very interesting and different! Keep it coming! clicking here

That's baby man. He is the cutest, squishiest little baby bunny I've ever seen.
Okay! I think I got that out of my system. Now, where were we? Ah yes. I had just gotten the epidural and life was, as they say, good.
Westley had indeed brought his guitar. He played and we sang together and the nurses laughed at us. Except for the misery, it was actually a pretty great time. I was hooked up to fetal monitors, so we had constant reassurance that baby man was okay. That's something I'm truly grateful for- the baby was never in distress. His blood sugar was a bit low when he was born, but that's the extent of his issues. Me, on the other hand… Ugh.
The OB practice I go to has several doctors. They take turns at the hospital for deliveries. So far I hadn't seen my actual OB. As luck would have it, she's the one who ended up delivering baby man. She's the best.
So, it was finally time for my doctor's turn on duty. She checked on me and I was only something like four centimeters dialated- this after nearly 12 hours on Pitocin and my water breaking on its own. She told me I might end up with a c-section. It was 8:00pmish.
After that, pain began returning to me, but only on my left side. The anesthesiologist came back and gave me a bolus of whatever-the-hell is in an epidural. Heaven heaven heaven heaven.
Then it started wearing off again. The doctor came to check me- I was progressing! She thought maybe I'd get to have the baby vaginally after all. I was excited, tired, scared, queasy, delirious, hungry, and in pain, but mostly excited, ha. The anesthesiologist came back for another bolus. The relief was like plunging into warmest water. It was immediate, immense.
And short lived. Around midnight I was eight centimeters dialated and in so much pain. Weird dreams kept taking over me and I'd succumb just to be out of that room, away.
We talk about pain, but what is it, really? At the time it was an altered state. A fantastic world of whorling sensation. My left thigh on fire. Belly clenched. Aching. Everything in me compressed, reconfigured. Made into a Picasso painting.
Actually? I can barely remember except that it hurt. Pain cut everything down to the smallest denominator. There was only the sound of baby man's heartbeat on the monitor and my enduring agony.
Around 2:00am my OB came back to check on me. No progression. I was stalled at eight. At this point I'd been strapped to my bed for, oh, 40 hours or so. She decided I needed a c-section. That we'd waited long enough. That even if, after however long, I finally fully dialated, I'd be too exhausted to push.
I joked with my (absolutely incredible) nurse that this felt like a zombie movie (you know, the whole being ripped apart thing) and she laughed, but said I shouldn't talk about my sweet OB that way. Sweet or not, she was about to tear into me. I was petrified. This was not what I'd planned. Oh, yes, mice and men and all that, but I was somehow truly shocked this was happening to me. It had been in my mind that I was supposed to be some natural, healthy, earth mother type, but there I was, the opposite: the sliced open fruit. The passive vessel.
The anesthesiologist came back again. Because the epidural had worn off, I needed a spinal tap. My OB told me to slouch forward, hugging her, as the needle was (carefully, carefully) inserted into my spine. Again. I may have been crying. At least this time I wasn't admonished.
The c-section itself was surreal. I could feel the doctor tugging at me, but had no pain. Westley was very good at trying to keep me distracted with silly stories and jokes, but when the spinal made me vomit nothing (no food for a million hours, remember?) into a tiny stupid pink plastic bowl thing, I felt maybe the lowest I've ever been because I was so scared, so trapped, so numb, so very awake in a nightmare.
It was very difficult to not get to see my baby right away, but I did hear him cry and the doctor saying he was a nine on the Apgar. Westley got to see the baby first, he got to cut the cord. He also saw all my organs and I still don't know how to feel about that.
Except grateful that we were both okay. Yes, there's that for sure. Westley said that when I called out something like "is he okay?" Baby man turned his ridiculous newborn head toward the sound of my voice.
The one birth plan thing I had was to do skin to skin if at all possible. Thirty years (or, um, probably more like three minutes, but it felt like an eternity) after he was plucked from me, baby man was placed on my chest and my little rock star army crawled his way to my breast and began nursing.
He's a champion.
After that I don't remember much. I had to stay on the Magnesium for another 24 hours. That was hell. I definitely started hallucinating the hospital room was a hellscape complete with fire and demons and walls of dark red blood. Everything shimmered like a void. My nurse insisted I take the pain pills and send the baby to the nursery to sleep. Hell was gone when I awoke, replaced with a disturbingly normal hospital room. How had so much happened in such a place?
Over the next few days my blood pressure rose again to dangerous levels. I ended up on blood pressure meds for several weeks. And although I don't truly believe this, I felt like a failure. Like I should've held out just a bit longer for a vaginal birth. Then Westley reminds me I did all I could. That what matters is that we both survived.
More on how the love I feel for baby man is unlike anything I've ever experienced before on a later post. I just want to leave you with this: baby man's birth was awful. It was painful and scary and shattering. Yet I'm wishing on each and every single burning sun in far flung galaxies to do it again. Hopefully with less theatrics, but I don't even care, really.
Like I said in the first half of this, I'm addicted.

Vickie Lynn Marshall (November 28, 1967 - February 8, 2007), better known under the stage name of Anna Nicole Smith,was an American model and television personality. She first gained popularity in Playboy, becoming the 1993 Playmate of the Year. She modeled for clothing companies, including Guess jeans. She starred in her own reality TV show, The Anna Nicole Show.
Born and raised in Texas, Smith dropped out of high school and first married at the age of 17. Her highly publicized marriage to oil business executive and billionaire J. Howard Marshall, 63 years her senior, resulted in speculation that she married the octogenarian for his money, which she denied. Following his death, she began a lengthy legal battle over a share of his estate; her case, Marshall v. Marshall, reached the U.S. Supreme Court on a question of federal jurisdiction. In the months before her death, she was the focus of renewed press coverage surrounding the death of her son, Daniel Smith.
Smith's career took off after she was chosen by Hugh Hefner to appear on the cover of the March 1992 issue of Playboy, where she is listed as Vickie Smith, wearing a low-cut evening gown. Smith said she planned to be "the next Marilyn Monroe".
Smith secured a contract to replace supermodel Claudia Schiffer in the Guess jeans ad campaign in a series of sultry black and white photographs. Guess capitalized on Smith's strong resemblance to sex symbol Jayne Mansfield and put her in Jayne-inspired photo sessions. In 1993, before Christmas, she modeled for the Swedish clothing company Hennes & Mauritz H&M. She was dressed in underwear and arranged in seductive poses. She appeared on big posters in Sweden and Norway.
While performing at Gigi's, a Houston strip club, in October 1991, Smith met elderly oil billionaire J. Howard Marshall and they began a relationship. During their two-year relationship, he reportedly lavished gifts on her and asked her to marry him several times. She divorced her husband Billy on February 3, 1993, in Houston.On June 27, 1994, Smith, 26, and Marshall, 89, married in Houston. This resulted in a great deal of gossip about her marrying him for his money. Though she reportedly never lived with him, Smith maintained that she loved her husband, and age did not matter to her. Thirteen months after his marriage to Smith, Marshall died on August 4, 1995, in Houston.
Smith was chosen to be the 1993 Playmate of the Year. By the time of her PMOY pictorial, she had settled on the name Anna Nicole Smith.
Becoming one of Playboy's most popular models, Smith was heavier and larger than the typical Playboy model.
Due to her support of the anti-fur movement, in particular her criticism of Canadian seal hunting, PETA began a petition in memory of Smith to the Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper to end the annual tradition.
In another ad the following year, Smith posed with her dogs in a campaign against Iams dog food for their alleged cruelty to animals, as well as the manufacturer Proctor and Gamble, and sister company Eukanuba.
This handout image from Playboy, shows a cover of the Feb. 2001 issue of Playboy magazine, featuring Anna Nicole Smith.
Smith has also been featured in advertisements for the animal rights group PETA. Spoofing Marilyn Monroe's "Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend" segment in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, a 2004 ad states "Gentlemen prefer fur-free blondes."
Smith announced on June 1, 2006, in a video clip posted on her official website that she was pregnant. "Let me stop all the rumors," she said, while floating on an inflatable raft in a swimming pool. "Yes, I am pregnant. I'm happy, I'm very, very happy about it. Everything's goin' really, really good and I'll be checking in and out periodically on the web, and I'll let you see me as I'm growing."
Though her announcement did not provide any details, in an interview with Larry King on CNN's Larry King Live after her daughter's birth and her son's death, Smith's longtime personal attorney Howard K. Stern said that he and Smith had been in a secret relationship for "a very long time" and due to the timing of the pregnancy, was confident that he was the father of the baby.
Her ex-boyfriend, entertainment photojournalist Larry Birkhead, steadfastly maintained that he was the baby's father and filed a lawsuit to establish paternity.
Smith's daughter, Dannielynn Hope Marshall Stern, was born September 7, 2006, at Doctors Hospital in Nassau, Bahamas. The Bahamian birth certificate recorded the father as Howard K. Stern.
A judge in the United States ordered that DNA tests be performed to determine the biological father of Dannielynn. Following Smith's death, Debra Opri, the lawyer for Larry Birkhead, asked for an emergency DNA sample to be taken from the corpse.
Smith's 20-year-old son, Daniel Smith, died on September 10, 2006 in his mother's hospital room while visiting her and his newborn sister. After the coroner labeled the death "reserved," Smith hired forensic pathologist Cyril Wecht to perform a second autopsy.
On September 28, 2006, Smith and Howard K. Stern exchanged vows and rings in an informal commitment ceremony aboard the 41-foot catamaran Margaritaville off the coast of the Bahamas.
On February 8, 2007, Smith was found unresponsive in room 607 at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood, Florida. After Smith's death, various legal battles began regarding: the will, the paternity of her daughter, and her final resting place, which resulted in the delay of her burial. Smith was finally buried March 2, 2007 at Nassau's Lakeview Memorial Gardens and Mausoleum in a plot adjacent to her son, Daniel. Daniel's father reportedly wants his son exhumed and reburied in his home state of Texas.

I have been involved with the Puppetry Arts Center from its humble beginnings. Throughout the years I have watched as the Puppetry Arts Center has grown and moved (many times). I've watched as thousands of children have sat in amazement and awe watching show after show at the Puppet Center. I've seen Jan Timmis, the Centers Executive Director get every teenager at an at-risk High School involved and truly enjoy making a puppet during a puppet building workshop at the school. Everyone should see this entertaining and educational program.
If you are looking for a great way to entertain your children and yourselves or even to be educated, the Puppetry Arts Center of the Palm Beaches is the way to go. I have been to several shows over the last twelve years and have enjoyed them all. The content ranges from magic shows to ventriloquism to classic fairy tales to original works. My favorite is the original screenplay called "One Voice, One Heart". It's a story about an alien who crash lands on Earth and learns about the diversity of the planet and how we are different yet we are the same. It is a very moving and educational screenplay. Although the plays and scripts are meant for children, adults are both entertained and educated. Puppets are for all ages, not just children. I would recommend anyone to see the performers who are top quality and very talented.
I have been involved with puppetry and the Puppetry Arts Center for over 30 years. I really applaude this nonprofit Center in meeting the needs of the children in this county. I see the need for children in the area to see a real live stage production. They delightfully learn theatre manners from Sunshine, the marionette lion,as he teaches in a charming way. They love Sunshine and they respond and learn. The museum and theater is a unique addition to theatre and the arts in the area. I see all the work the director and the volunteers are doing. They work hard and are ever ever hopeful that they will have a permanent puppet center in this area to continue serving children, young people and adults.
Never have I found an organization so dedicated to performance with puppets, in South Florida, as the Puppetry Arts Center. My son, his friends and I have been delighted by these puppets and performers for over 5 years. In this time, my son has enjoyed "performances with a message" about pollution, ethnic diversity, kindness and theater manners (through a marionette bear named Sunshine). We have also made puppets in a workshop, fascinating! The children's experience is truly priceless since they get carried away with the puppets (forgetting that people are behind them). The adults are nostalgic and grateful that puppets are still enjoyed in this very modern world of ours. In the community, The Puppetry Arts Center also provides complimentary admission to those children without the financial means. This is surely an organization that is worth additional effort and so I have made a new commitment this year (as a volunteer) to help in any way I can. Please don't take our Sunshine (the puppet) away!
I am an elementary school librarian who discovered the Center in the spring of 2009. I was initially interested in attending some introductory puppetry workshops, but I found so much more at the Puppetry Arts Center of the Palm Beaches! The directors, Jan & Bill Timmis, have 20+ years of passion and experience. They've amassed an impressive archive of puppet theatre history and a collection of puppetry memorabilia in the museum. FASCINATING! The store offers a variety of puppets, and patrons do not leave without receiving some hands-on instruction. The piece de resistance is the theatre which seats 140 people. They offer professional performances for the price of a Starbuck's coffee. AMAZING!!! Unfortunately, The Puppetry Arts Center is Palm Beach County's best known secret, and it desperately needs funding -- SAVE THE PUPPETS!
i have always enjoyed performing at the puppetry atrs center. they have helped me expand and grow as an entertainer. the people involved are great, and have done sooo much for the community. i would like to see them continue !
I have performed at the Puppetry Arts Center of the Palm Beaches at each of its all too many locations. I've averaged three different visits a year with a variety of shows that incorporated hand, hand & rod,and shadow puppets as well as marionettes. In the earlier years, we were able to present a full week of performances ending with 2 performances on Saturday. Through the years, the various moves made it difficult to maintain the audience levels, Each relocation required a great deal of work to transform the newest site into a viable theatre space. Each move also required considerable monetary outlays - several moves required costs for construction and relocating plumbing for public restrooms, etc. Jan and Bill Timmis have consistantly strived to provide a home for economically priced family entertainment that also sought to teach basic human values through the variety of performances they presented at the Puppetry Arts Center. Their dedication to the Center is all-encompassing.
Since I was a child, I've had fond memories of puppetry in all its forms, but especially marionettes. I had forgotton how much this performing art meant to me until I had my first visit to Puppetry Arts Center (of PB). Watching their shows and seeing the expression on the faces of kids (and big adult kids too), reminded me why teaching performing arts is so important to the formation of young people. You don't get that life experience of story telling from video games or the Intenet. Now as a volunteer and friend of the Center, I am excited to see what the future holds for a new permanent facility for upcoming shows and programs for the expansion of the Theater and Museum.
We had a wonderful visit and enjoyed the performance and the shop. Can't wait until they find a permanent home!!!
I found the Puppetry Arts Center when looking for a volunteer job that would be fun. The people were wonderful. Their variety of puppets from all over the world was very impressive. I thought it was a shame that they had to worry about moving to another new space instead of enjoying their love of putting on the show! I did have the pleasure of attending a few shows.I saw how the kids from day care centers had a ball. Puppets are magical,as well as live performances. On one occasion I brought my grandchildren along. They were talking about it for months! This Center is a true gift for the community.I would surely hate to see it disappear.

I shouted: "Fuck!" as my alarm clock winked 10:00.
The Ours reminded me that it was Saturday. I folded back into bed as the three day hangover hit.
On Wednesday my parents sent me flowers and champagne at work, an early birthday present. At home I arranged the flowers and drained the champagne bottle.
On Thursday The Ours took me to The Cellar restaurant for my birthday. With the delicious dinner came wine...
Last night was at my work Christmas party. I'll just stop there.
I don't think I'm going to finish my novel by the end of the year. I'm a little disappointed, but I had forgotten that December is such a crazy month. I'm happy with the amount of writing I'm doing when I get to it though, usually 800-1000 words a night, but that's not every night. When I was at home all I could think about was writing. Now there are so many things competing for my attention.
I'm writing this as I watch Saturday Kitchen from my bed. The Ours made me a breakfast roll and I'm sipping Barry's tea. It's the first day in ages where I haven't felt like I have a million things to do. I still have them in mind but I don't care. It was a topic of discussion last night; how we all feel guilty for spending a day doing nothing, even though sometimes it's necessary after a long week of work, Christmas shopping and the million other things on the never-ending to do list.
Therefore I wish all of you a day of relaxation and rest. Even if you're frantic, stop for five minutes and have a cup of tea/coffee/wine on me. You deserve it.

Thank you, I shall have a day doing nothing tomorrow.
Mind you after todays running from shop to shop (well, driving!), writing Christmas cards, etc, I'm more than happy to do bugger all tomorrow.
I always forget how chaotic December is.

Belated Birthday Greetings, Yvonne *raising a cup of maple and pecan coffee to you*
You've done so well on the novel; it's hard to get the words down in December with all that goes on in the real world.
Hope you're having a great day!
What's Barry's tea?

On November 8, 2016, USDC Judge George H. Wu granted summary judgment in favor of the City of Fontana and Fontana Police Chief Rodney Jones in Navarro v. City of Fontana, Case No. 15-cv-1650-GW (GJSx), an unlawful seizure and excessive force case brought under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Fontana police officers made contact with Plaintiff in a motel parking lot, where he was walking with his wife and his three children. During the officers' interaction with Plaintiff, he appeared to swallow some drugs that he had in his pocket. Continue reading

On October 19, 2016, United States District Court Judge James V. Selna granted summary judgment in favor of Orange County in a 42 U.S.C. section 1983 excessive force case, Celis v. County of Orange, Case No. SACV 15-00299 JVS (JCGx). In granting summary judgment, the Court rejected Plaintiff's claim that the County had a policy or custom that led to a violation of his constitutional rights. Plaintiff's lawsuit alleged that Sheriff's Deputies used excessive force during apprehension and arrest, and that deputies discriminated against him on the basis of his race. The incident in question began when deputies responded to a request for assistance Continue reading
On January 9, 2004, David Lawrence obtained a defense jury verdict for former Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department officials in what seemed like a battle that would never end. The case arose from the February 8, 1991 arrest of Brett Thompson in which a Sheriff's canine bit Mr. Thompson. The arrest was criticized in the original Kolts report as an example of instances in which additional force was used to subdue criminal suspects who were bitten by and fought with the canines. Orders granting defense motions for summary judgment were reversed twice by the Court of Appeals, accounting for the length of time required to get the matter to trial. By the time the case was tried, Plaintiff had dismissed all but high ranking Sheriff's officials including the former Undersheriff. Plaintiff proceeded against the remaining defendants on a civil rights "failure to train and supervise" theory, but after almost five weeks of trial in Los Angeles County Superior Court, the jury returned a defense verdict with only one dissenting juror.

Wow...that's melancholy. Amazing, Eve! :-) Where do you get the inspiration for your poetry? What time of day do you usually write? (Pardon the noisy questions...^_^)ReplyDeleteReplies
The darker stuff is so much fun. ;) Not at all! I love your questions!Delete
I tend to write mostly at night or in the very early a.m., but it varies. As for inspiration, that could come from anywhere and anything. It could be a simple word that hits me just right, a song that inspires a certain atmosphere - heck, a good number of my writings were even just random ideas that came to me in the middle of the night and stuck. It's really a range of different things. :)

This is, we are told, the era of video. Of images. Of YouTube and Instagram and Vine and .gifs. I don't disagree with that. But do consider this Super Bowl ad, which was my personal favorite and indisputably one of the most powerful ads to air during the big game:
Please watch it.
Then, press play again and close your eyes.
I don't think I am going out on a limb here if I suggest that it was every bit as powerful without the images as it was with them. Consider Hal Riney's voiceover in this spot, which defined Ronald Reagan's campaign (and again, I encourage you to close your eyes):
If you work with brands day to day as I do, you know that storytelling and content are more crucial than ever. But with all the focus on the tech aspects of storytelling, and the tools we use to distribute those stories, we must never forget that the atomic unit of branding is the story, no matter who tells it, or how it is told.
Audio is an enormously powerful medium. I don't know how many banner ads you can recall, but I bet you can hum the jingle for Intel, or sing "We Are Flintstones Kids" and "Oh, What A Feeling To Drive…Toyota" or sing the Big Mac jingle without much prompting. Audio tells stories every bit as powerfully as video, and while Chrysler may have co-opted this extraordinary Paul Harvey speech, it should serve as a reminder to the rest of us that great audio storytelling isn't about platforms or technology or even audio quality--it's about the storytellers.
Today, we have online music providers that aren't telling stories--they are just jukeboxes. Wheat truckers. We have some offline radio broadcasters who have responded to passive measurement by offering passive content, and trying to out-commodify today's online wheat truckers. That's not going to save radio, either online or offline.
Stories demonstrate the power of audio. Nothing is more powerful in the minds of consumers than stories. If you are one of my regular readers in the radio business, you know this, I hope. You can invest in streaming technology, online music curation algorithms, visual branding and social sharing technology. But never, ever forget that the power of audio branding lies with the story, not how that story is distributed.
To succeed in telling stories, we don't need to invest in cutting-edge streaming or podcasting platforms or collaborative filtering algorithms.
We need to find today's Paul Harveys.
I miss you, Paul Harvey. I hope the next Paul Harvey is out there. We need you.

Bontrager Rhythm MTB Shoes
Charge the trails, hike to the goods, and do some trail maintenance mid-ride with Bontrager's Rhythm MTB Shoes. The inForm Pro lasts are tailored for comfort and pedaling efficiency. The footbeds are stiff and light thank to the carbon-reinforced nylon plate, and the full Tachyon rubber outsoles deliver superior hike-a-bike traction. Add in ratcheting top straps and a layer of Bontrager's GnarGuard outer protection for the rocks and trees flying by, and you've got some seriously dialed enduro shoes.
This chart is to help you evaluate the fit. (Some of the sizes shown may not be offered.)
In order to mount your pedals' cleats to your shoes, they must have matching bolt patterns. There are 3 configurations (diagram) used on cycling shoes, SPD-R, Look/SPD-SL and SPD. Road shoes feature one, two or even all three of these. Mountain-bike shoes usually use the SPD pattern. If you have any questions about cleat compatibility, please contact us. We're here to help!

Excellent MTB shoe at a good price. Has traditional buckle system which works for me much better than the new BOA systems that most companies are pushing these days. Spreads the force across a wide area rather than digging in like the BOA systems do. Good traction for hike-a-bike when needed. I like the green accents for added visibility.

Built on today's most powerful, robust CAD system.
Leading industry software – providing a Common Platform for product data management. VerisurfX interfaces with all types of CAD models and measuring devices in real-time. Enabling manufacturers to seamlessly and fully conduct the functions of part design and machining. Verisurf software combined with your measuring device of choice provides a simple 3D Gage to accurately measure parts and compare them to the CAD model. Using the 5 modules Basic System, Measure, Build, Analysis, Reverse and Laser Projection Programming Verisurf software will create greater optimisation for your business.
Basic System
The basic Verisurf system is compatible with CAD file formats including IGES, STEP, AutoCAD, Inventor, Pro-E, SolidWorks, SolidEdge, CATIA, Unigraphics/NX and numerous others, giving flexibility to work with any CAD model – solid, surface or wireframe.
A fundamentally important component of the CAD-based platform, Verisurf Model Based Definition (MBD) lets users set unique IDs, tolerances and GD&T in the model for any surface, feature or other critical inspection item. This avoids errors and speculation as well as reduces costs throughout the manufacturing process.
The Basic System also includes the proprietary Verisurf Device Interface (VDI). This powerful interface connects and controls virtually all measuring devices, including stationary and portable CMMs, laser trackers and scanners, and many others. With the VDI, selecting and controlling your chosen device is done with a common user interface.
The metrology tool for feature-based part inspection. Interfacing in real-time with any measuring device – including stationary and portable CMMs, laser trackers and scanners, and various others – Measure lets you easily measure features from precise single points to point clouds. Set unique GD&T constraints, see the device graphically displayed on your screen, plus smart tools automatically recognize and display features while measuring.
For enhanced accuracy, Verisurf Measure also includes FeatureAlign and AutoAlign. Use FeatureAlign to align the part to the device based on measured features and datums. Use AutoAlign to align the device directly to the CAD model. These innovative features allow for store alignment schemes and automate inspection routines to guide the device through inspection. Plus, easily create intuitive, visual HTML or Excel-based inspection reports
Real-time, model-based inspection and assembly. Known as the Virtual Gage™, Verisurf Build displays deviation with the probe's movement as you inspect the part in relation to the nominal CAD model. After quick alignment to the CAD model, simply measure error in the manufactured part with Build's live, intuitive interface. Literally see part-to-model deviations, coordinates and assigned IDs – all in real-time during inspection.
For virtual assembly, you can set multiple tolerances and feature types such as surfaces, lines, arcs and more. Arrow indicators and deviation readouts then give real-time guidance. Visibility using color, graphics and various other clever features are also easily enhanced. Verisurf Build eliminates hard tooling, ensuring accurate, expedient manufacturing for quality control.
A robust, controlled offline solution for comparing inspection data to the nominal CAD model.
From your CAD system, Verisurf Analysis allows the nominal CAD model to be imported and compared against internal and vendor inspection data. Analyze points-to-points, points-to-curves, points-to-surfaces or points-to-meshes and instantly generate any deviation reports.
Customizable "best-fit" capabilities innovatively determine the optimal fit between the data and the model. Verisurf Analysis generates Excel-based text and HTML-based colour reports, including colour deviation mapping for clear, practical analysis.
Powerful, versatile reverse engineering software.
Re-engineer CAD surfaces, use AutoSurface to reverse engineer complex surfaces or use mixed modeling to blend STL meshes, surfaces and solids in one design. Working with measured data from any measuring device, Verisurf Reverse automatically creates surfaces, features and planar, grid or radial cross sections on machined parts to create precise CAD models. Leveraging advanced tools, Verisurf Reverse creates and custom fits lines, arcs, splines, planes, spheres, cylinders, surfaces and more. Providing a fully integrated, comprehensive solution, Reverse also creates meshes from point clouds in the form of an STL file for surface analysis or future tooling and machining.

I live about 5 blocks away from a dangerously good vegan ice cream shop called Stogo. All of their ice cream is agave sweetened, they use organic ingredients, and it is really good. As I said, it's dangerously good. Every once in awhile, Gennaro, being the keeper that he is, brings me home a pint of the coffee ice cream. Just because. I remember one particularly trying finals week when I just ate Stogo's coffee ice cream for breakfast one day before an exam. I know ice cream for breakfast — even vegan, organic, sugar free ice cream — is not really in keeping with the otherwise healthful lifestyle I've embraced since embarking on an allergy-free diet. But sometimes life demands demands a little reckless gratification, like coffee ice cream in the morning. Below is a photo I took of a half-eaten bowl of Stogo's coffee ice cream over warm brownies — one of my favorite treats.
As much as I enjoy a ready-to-eat pint every once in awhile, I've always been curious about making my own vegan ice cream at home. What's stopped me up until this point is the simple fact that I don't own an ice cream maker, which I thought was a deal-breaker when it came to homemade ice cream. Turns out, I thought wrong. With the likes of Dave Lebovitz explaining that a good quality product can come straight from the freezer(with a little patience and some manual labor, that is), I was all about it.
Why not just buy an ice cream maker? My poor kitchen just can't take another gadget, I'm afraid. With little space and lots of old pots and pans practically falling out of the cupboards when we open them, an ice cream maker just doesn't seem like a great idea right now. Maybe when we overhaul the kitchen come wedding time in August, we'll create some extra room. But I'm afraid an ice cream maker sounds like more effort than it's worth at the moment — the effort being finding a place to put it!
So, I'd rather transfer my effort into making a slightly more labor-intensive ice cream without a machine. The end result is inevitably a bit icier, but it's quite tasty and makes for a great low carb, no-bake vegan dessert. The intermittant blending is really to create some air and get a nice fluff. It also helps to break up the ice crystals that will tend to form when anything freezes directly from liquid to solid. Enjoy this ice cream right away out of the freezer, as it tends to melt a little quicker than traditionally-made ice cream. It's great topped with diced, fresh mango or toasted, flaked coconut.
Vegan Mango Ice Cream:
1 13.5-oz. can coconut milk (not light)
2 tablespoons coconut oil
2/3 cup agave nectar
1 tablespoons fresh squeezed lime juice
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon Ener-G egg replacer
10 oz. frozen mango chunks (about 2 heaping cups)
1. Blend all ingredients except mango in a blender. Add mango and blend until smooth and no chunks remain. Pour into a glass baking dish with a lid. Place in freezer.
2. Freeze mixture for up to 6 hours (may take less or more time, depending on freezer), removing every hour and a half to two hours to beat mixture. Beat using handheld electric blades or an immersion blender until ice cream is fluffy. Return to freezer and repeat a few times until desired texture is reached. Best when enjoyed shortly after preparing.

It has been like time when the last "Halley's Comet" was seen with its extra-trail when I posted last, so first let me apologize for my absence.
But, I really can understand the "pain in the NECK (I'd have used the three letter word but I leave it to my professor to use such words... yes he did say *all iit profs are some "beeped words"* in front of the whole class and he also read the latest Chetan bhagat's book.)"... of people who are disgusted to see their facebook, orkut, twitter,
g-talk and all the n number of social networking sites page cluttered with my updates... like
1. Read my blog
2. Blog updated
3. Blog updated after 10 years
4. I'm committed... read more at my blog... and their disgust they find I was lying, yes I'm single and ready to mingle(for a girl, of course)
"Aaacha, main baat pe aaate hain"
"My laptop, my lappy... arrey wahin jo mera friend hai... was not well , kharab ho gaya tha"
I don't know what went wrong with it but I was getting nightmares of my separation with it and thoughts about its funeral and reporters asking me
"kaisa lag reha hai ab aapko, aaapke lappy ke death ke baad"
I'd have screamed in the camera... "kaisa lagega? I'm frusst... ulti frusst... don't have a girlfriend, no lappy, what will I do in KGP? and would show the middle wala finger and push the cameraman to buy another laptop".
Ok, no more exaggerations, my laptop's graphic card had/has some problems. The service center guy took it for 20 days was unable to find any fault and was going to change the "motherboard" and though it costs like bomb I gave green signal but that guy was really some *beeped word*.
Eventually, I fought with him and brought my laptop and thought of screwing(experimenting with) my laptop.
1. switched on the laptop
2. Plugged the charger
3. Had dinner
4. Had a 2 hour long bhaat-session with a guy *Chaos* and talked about relationships, zodiac signs,theists and atheists (yes we do talk these things)... conclusion: Chaos is completely having a chaotic mind, he believes lovers are stupid, romantic movies are absurd and is an atheist.
5. Came back in my room
6. Emptied the water bottle (arrey wahi mirinda wala jo last time piya tha) into my stomach.
7. switched off my laptop
8. switched on my laptop
EUREKA! YAY! It's finally done
"Lappy theek ho gaya"
And, now I need to catch up on movies, TV series : BIG BANG THEORY, HIMYM ... movies promos of three idiots and yes some good videos(pure bhakti videos :P)
Ahh, I also have a test tomorrow but ..........you get the drift?..... I'm not going to read and still pass (yes by cheating of course)
