I'll let you in on a secret of what inspired me.... Have you ever seen a shirt folded like a pro in 2 seconds? well I was shown this today, apparently it's a japanese way of folding which is like origami it's amazing. Pinch here.. pinch there.. pull.. then ta da!! Okay enough enough.
I had a real scare tonight at dinner my 5 year old rascal had a moment of actually seriously choking! Lately he's been keeping food in his mouth for ages and ends up spitting it out, or finds it difficult to swallow, after tonights episode at the dinner table I've decided to take him to the doctor tomorrow. I have a suspicion it's tonsilitis they say you have difficulty swallowing when you have that . Anyway we'll have to wait and see.
We also have Daddy rascals grandma taken to hospital with a red back spider bite (they're around everywhere at the moment), she's in for observation, vomiting, pain in chest all the symptoms. She'll be fine though. She's very Fillipino doesn't speak english or anything and apparently over in the Phillipines they squash spiders with there fingers... so this morning that's exactly what she did!!
Anyway I really need to lighten the load of this incredibly full on day.
Ah that's what we need some finished sewing projects !!!
Baby pants for a friends baby boy, I wanted something not traditionally boyish.
Also this fun to make little bag off the martha stewart website it's reversible and the big strap goes through the little strap to make it secure so nothing falls out.
Better go put my head to the pillow, hope your days weren't anything like mine today! haha

SAN FRANCISCO -- Dave Goldberg has an answer for all those corporations that have been asking for SurveyMonkey to roll out a product for business customers: It's here.
On Monday the Palo Alto company began making available SurveyMonkey Enterprise.
It's a major switch for the 12-year-old company. Consumers used to sign up for free or paid versions of the service that creates quick polls by visiting the company's website and creating an account.
Goldberg, SurveyMonkey's chief executive, said employees at most major corporations already use the service.
Now, businesses can enroll up to 25 employees for SurveyMonkey Enterprise for $65 per employee or $780 a year and manage all the data. Companies can also enroll more than 25 employees for "special pricing." Among the first customers are Aetna, Hearst Corp. and the New York Giants.
SurveyMonkey is hiring salespeople to pitch the product to large organizations. The company sees this push into the business world as a major opportunity.

Information About E Z Loans Inc From Around The Web
It's wise to shop locally for personal financial services when you really have an urgent financial need. Depending where you are located, simple check cashing can be ranged by services, to short term loan goods for example payday loans, also called payday cash loans. Contact the business recorded above to find what financial services are available in your city. Some may additionally offer installment loan packages, allowing you to pay your loan back for a set time frame, to bigger loans like personal loans, which afford a wider selection of lending bundles when it comes to rates of interest and loan size, depending on your own own credit score.
Before applying for internet payday loans, you should always investigate alternatives. Attempt to stretch your finances if there is an emergency or unexpected invoice. In case you can't pay a bill, get in touch with your lender and attempt to make a payment arrangement. If your requirement for cash takes a loan for a term that is longer, submit an application for an alternative peer-to-peer or conventional loan. When you have collateral, you can put property up to ensure a low-interest bank loan. Easy loans might seem like the best remedy to get you through a tight fiscal situation when you are refused capital from a conventional lending source you need temporary income until the next pay check or because your credit credibility is shot. Taking out an advance in your next pay check from a money lender may be your only alternative should you not need a credit card or cash in a savings account to cover the expense of a car repair or catching up in your electricity bill before services are shut off.
Applying for quick loans online is a good solution when unexpected emergencies arise or the sum desired isn't worth for opening another account, the ding to your credit score. You also prevent the hassle of needing to collect all your financial records, submit a lengthy application and meet together with the bank's loan officer to sign packages of paperwork. You might be eligible for a higher limit with a current credit card business or a fresh account with a different lender which allows you to join all your debt into one payment, if your credit is good enough. As the consolidation is processed between the two firms, which puts money in your pocket soon, you generally get to skip the next payment. You will probably be paying less complete than you were for the individual minimal payments of the different debts when the following payment is due. Many sources of personal credit, including poor credit personal loans, have a high annual percentage rate, particularly when origination fees are included in the annualized rate. Many personal loans online also have terms that are comparatively brief, often as very little as three months. Rolling over them can prove costly, although it may be possible to refinance these sorts of loans.

Midwinter Orchestra Concert Makes for a Great Night to Stay In and Relax
The Bucknell University Orchestra, conducted by Professor Christopher Para, recently put on its Midwinter this past Saturday, February 16th. The concert featured the "Masquerade Suite" by Aram Khachaturian (1903-1978) for which the first movement, "Waltz", is often used in figure skating routines (a favorite of Russian routines especially), the overture to "Pique Dame" (the only remaining portion of the opera) by Franz von Suppé (1819-1895). The "Masquerade Suite" also featured soloists Justin Meshulam '15 (clarinet) and Charlie Wang '17 (first-chair First Violin). However, the main attraction was the collaboration with members* from the Bucknell Opera Company, who are later putting on their production of "The Magic Flute", composed by W.A. Mozart (1756-1791). This section of the concert included the opera's overture, three arias, and a trio from the work. The overall difficulty of the works that the orchestra performed was quite difficult, especially since there wasn't a lot of practice time for the collaboration with the guest artists from the Opera Company for that portion. However, the orchestra played beautifully and honored the pieces greatly in their performance. Fellow CV journalist and violinist Laura Yoo commented on the collaboration. "It's so great to be able to work with other students and how quickly we were able to put this together. It was so much fun!"
It was an amazing night of music, collaboration, and a testament to the astounding talent in our classmates all around us.
Take a look at our event calendar for upcoming performances from both the Bucknell University Orchestra and the Opera Company.
*The guest artists from the Bucknell Opera Company included Tom Carle '14, Anissa Corser '14, Joanna Malaszczyk '15, Bryan Wills '15, and Tim Lambert '17.

European Society of Cardiology
Aspirin is not effective in stroke prevention, with a high risk of bleeding in elderly AF patients, and its use should be restricted to patients who refuse anticoagulation, according to an update1 of the ESC Guidelines on the management of atrial fibrillation (AF) released recently.
New anticoagulants are recommended as having "all shown non-inferiority compared with [vitamin K antagonists], with better safety" in clinical trials, the update says. They are thus "broadly preferable" in the vast majority of patients with non-valvular AF, but, because experience remains limited, they are recommended within the context of "strict adherence to approved indications".
As a key point summary, the guidelines state that the novel anticoagulants "offer efficacy, safety, and convenience compared with oral anticoagulation with [vitamin K antagonists]". Thus, where an oral anticoagulant is recommended, one of the novel anticoagulants – either a direct thrombin inhibitor (dabigatran) or an oral factor Xa inhibitor (eg, rivaroxaban or apixaban if and when approved by regulatory authorities) – should be considered for most patients with AF. There is, however, "insufficient evidence" to recommend one over another.
The update also takes note of the intravenous antiarrhythmic agent vernakalant, recently approved for the cardioversion of AF of short duration. Contraindications are prominently reported, but, as a key point, it is described as "effective in cardioversion of patients with AF ?7 days or AF ?3 days after cardiac surgery" and providing a rapid antiarrhythmic effect, with approximately 50% of patients converting within 90 minutes after the start of treatment and a median time to conversion of 8–14 minutes.
Among the update's new additions to the guidelines of 2010 are the application of the CHA2DS2DS2-VASc score (in place of the CHADS2 score) for the identification of patients at risk of stroke and the use of novel oral anticoagulants as a preferred alternative to vitamin K antagonists. New data derived from recent clinical trials lay behind the need for an update, notably the AVERROES, ROCKET AF and ARISTOTLE studies – in addition to the earlier reported RE-LY trial.
The ESC's 2010 AF guideline recommended a risk-factor based approach to risk stratification, defining "major" and "clinically relevant non-major" risk factors according to a CHA2DS2-VASc (congestive heart failure/left ventricular dysfunction, hypertension, age ≥75 [doubled], diabetes, stroke [doubled] – vascular disease, age 65–74 and sex category). This, state the new guidelines, should be applicable to the most common stroke risk factors found in everyday practice, but is better than others at identifying "truly low risk" patients in whom antithrombotic therapy is not indicated.
Commenting on the guidelines, chairman of the development Task Force Professor John Camm (St George's Hospital, London) said: "This 2012 focused update of the 2010 ESC Guidelines for the management of AF concentrates on the early detection of AF, more sensitive stroke risk stratification, and effective stroke prophylaxis with old and new anticoagulant drugs and left atrial appendage occlusion devices. The guidelines also introduce vernakalant as a new drug for the rapid cardioversion of recent onset AF applicable to a broad range of patients with some important exceptions".
"The guidelines also update rhythm control with antiarrhythmic drugs and left atrial ablation. The use of dronedarone is not recommended in patients with permanent AF or with moderate or severe heart failure and its use is relegated to a therapy of last resort for patients even with mild heart failure. On the other hand, catheter ablation is given a strong recommendation for patients with paroxysmal AF and little or no atrial remodeling provided it is conducted by experienced operators, and its use as a first-line therapy is also endorsed in similar circumstances."
"The 2012 Update is constructed with the objective of guiding physicians on the most appropriate way to use new therapies that have emerged since 2010 and how to modify their approach to older therapies for which new data has been generated."
"Taken together these changes should lead to a major improvement of the care of patients with atrial fibrillation, the most prevalent sustained cardiac rhythm disturbance."

Happy thanksgiving from Huckleberry Hills! We finally get to eat the turkey that we've spent so much time and energy raising!
Unfortunately I had to work tonight so my family has had to relay a description to me. But that's why we have a second turkey for this weekend! They're telling me it's delicious and juicy, lots of delicious fat for the gravy and the white meat is the best they've ever had. Can't wait to try for myself!
Lessons learned though. We butchered the turkeys the weekend before thanksgiving. While this did mean they were as big as they were going to get, it made the entire process feel rushed. Won't do that again. Also, we need a dedicated processing area designed from the ground up rather than slapped together as ideas occur. These birds are simply too strong for anything improvised!
But each year we keep building and keep growing so next year is going to be amazing! Happy thanksgiving!

|Aser-Tellinger Ind.
|.45 (semi/burst)
|Clip size
|18.2 oz. (516 g)
The APP3 is a lightweight versatile pistol manufactured by Aser-Tellinger Ind.. It is first seen in Wakeup Call, and is carried by most enemies in that level.
It is a reliable sidearm capable of taking down standard enemies in three shots.
Intel feedEdit
Licensed production by 26 manufacturers, world-wide, makes this the standard sidearm for private security agencies across the globe. It's safe, reliable and very easy to use thanks to the "RapidFire®" action trigger system. The .45 bullets are easy to manufacture and readily available in abundance.
In reference to its popularity, an independent survey stated that the APP-3 handguns were used in more than 47 percent of urban shooting in America, 2065.
The secondary fire burst mode allows an even greater rate of fire, although with its limited recoil dampening, the APP-3 suffers from significant climb when fired this way.
- .45 HSC Ammo: The first invention of munitions with a weighted core were designed to pierce armor. But for handgun variations, a side-effect of the Takashi HSC rounds was impact splintering that caused internal bleeding. A much-protested human rights violation, but a welcome boost of stopping power for armed security personnel.
- APP-3S: When EuroCorp developed an interest in the lightweight APP-3, they wanted a special variation of the standard wepon. Selective fire was Takashi's response, with the regular semi-automatic and an additional semi-automatic three-shot burst mode that provides a lot more power when used in close quarters.
- Gyrostabilized Compensator: Ensures aim stability and minimizes scatter by compensating gas pressure and actively redirecting the barrel inside a gyrostabilized hardcase. some users have reported that it feels like the gun has a life of its own as you fire, explaining the technology's 'ghost aim' marketing moniker.
- Magazine Extension: In the mid-2030s, clip size restrictions were abandoned in North American legislation and weapons manufacturers were quick to respond. Takashi Defense Systems released the A3E magazine, extending the clip by 8 rounds. This is the next generation of the A3, without the jamming tendencies and with the same sense of reliability as the core product.

Gardening: Cucumber harvest!
10 weeks old and fruiting
Always happy to see my plants after a long trip abroad and was pleasantly surprised this time to harvest that fruits of my labour - literally! My plant yielded 2 short/standard cucumbers this weekend....made my homecoming even sweeter
The yellowish hue on the larger cucumber is a sign that it's been left on the vine for too long. You definitely want to harvest when it feels heavy and turns a pale shade of green. Apologies for the poor photo quality but I was a little too impatient to hunt down my usual camera
Sliced and dipped in chinchakok
Served them up as simply as possible - too jet-lagged to actually cook - thinly sliced and dipped into my chinchalok i.e. fermented shrimp paste from Penang. Unlike cucumbers you buy from supermarkets, there's no real reason to peel the skins off as they have no waxy coating on and I like the extra crunchiness of the skin. Verdict? The standard variety has more seeds and water content than their longer cousins but has an almost sweet aftertaste which goes well with salty dips....Next up, my japanese minis...can't wait!

GREENOCKITE, a rare mineral composed of cadmium sulphide, CdS, occurring as small, brilliant, honey-yellow crystals or as a canary-yellow powder. Crystals are hexagonal with hemimorphic development, being differently terminated at the two ends. The faces of the hexagonal prism and of the numerous hexagonal pyramids are deeply striated horizontally. The crystals are translucent to transparent, and have an adamantine to resinous lustre; hardness 3-31; specific gravity 4.9. Crystals have been found only in Scotland, at one or two places in the neighbourhood of Glasgow, where they occur singly on prehnite in the amygdaloidal cavities of basaltic igneous rocks—a rather unusual mode of occurrence for a metallic sulphide. The first, and largest crystal (about 1 in. across) was found, about the year 181o, in the dolerite quarry at Bowling in Dumbartonshire, but this was thought to be blende. A larger number of crystals, but of smaller size, were found in 184o during the cutting of the Bishopton tunnel on the Glasgow & Greenock railway; they were detected by Lord Greenock, afterwards the and earl of Cathcart, after whom the mineral was named. A third locality is the Boyleston quarry near Barrhead. At all other localities—Przibram in Bohemia, Laurion in Greece, Joplin in Missouri, &c. —the mineral is represented only as a powder dusted over the surface of zinc minerals, especially blende and calamine, which contain a small amount of cadmium replacing zinc. Isomorphous with greenockite is the hexagonal zinc sulphide (ZnS) known as wurtzite. Both minerals have been prepared artificially, and are not uncommon as furnace products. Previous to the recent discovery in Sardinia of cadmium oxide as small octahedral crystals, greenockite was the only known mineral containing cadmium as an essential constituent. (L. J.

A number of weeks ago, a blip on the feed reader caught our attention at tirado/thrown: blog posts authored by Josh Glenn and Matthew Battles, a couple of fellow Bostonians from the JP barrio whose acquaintance we made while shilling ads for Glenn's amazing periodical Hermenaut in the late 90s-early 00s. A little more digging outside the confines of the feed reader's data stream revealed the existence of a new entity on the blogging landscape: HILOBROW.
From the looks of a number of the posts, hilobrow promises to be an exciting exploration of modes of (dis)engagement with cultural phenomena which advance a particular disposition. Its editors argue against the snobbishness attitude of the highbrow, the well-intentioned dishonesty of the lowbrow, and the middlebrow's toxic sarcasm. Instead, hilobrow seeks to approach matters through a camp sensibility, which the editors identify as
…a manifestation of engaged irony. (When the cast of John Waters's 1998 movie Pecker toast the "death of irony," they're toasting the death of middlebrow sarcastic hipsterism.) The engaged ironist is a hilobrow.
This, of course, continues Glenn's long-standing interest in cultivating philosophic attitudes towards the phantasmic saturation of late capitalist existence. In the late 90s, Glenn devoted a double-issue of Hermenaut (#11/12) to the theme of "Camp", which lays out the terrain he's treading. The introductory essay and excerpts from that issue still live at the Hermenaut website (under "Print").
We here at tirado/thrown couldn't be more excited for hilobrow's debut!

Walks to my psychotherapist's office from the Harvard Square train station often yield varied results. If I'm running a couple of minutes late, I'll charge out of the last train car and storm my way down Massachusetts Ave. in the hopes of reducing the amount of time already lost. Whether I'm barreling through or weaving around my fellow pedestrians in my path, I'm inhabiting a vulgarized version of Lewis Carroll's White Rabbit, concerned with my tardiness, cursing under my breath and thoroughly frustrated. If I'm running on time, I walk briskly and confidently, gathering my thoughts in anticipation of the fifty minutes on the white couch.
But last Saturday I was running early, enough to slow down and think about grabbing a bite for breakfast before heading up to the therapist's office. It was the rare occasion where I could take in my surroundings and unintentionally indulge in a bit of free association in the process.
The station-to-office trek always takes me past the Harvard Book Store. Its windows display a revolving set of enticements and possible treats for book-lovers or people who just want a good read. But what's so special about the window? It's just a bunch of books, right? Sure. Point conceded. But the books showing at the windows somehow push the right button, or get me on the path of re-evaluating my wish list- whether new hardcovers or featured remainders. My favorite window, though, has to be the "Featured Press" window, and I needn't justify reasons as to whether I'm driven by fetishism or brand loyalty. This is where the accidental flaneurie begins.
Last week's featured press at the window was Continuum, the UK-based publisher whose strongest fare is consists of scholarly books in philosophy, theology, religion and literature, with some the occasional trade titles and series. The press' books most prominently displayed at the window were from the critically-acclaimed 33 1/3 series, consisting of texts offering extended treatments of somehow important or influential albums. When I gazed upon the pocket-sized copy of the book discussing Tom Waits's Swordfishtrombones to get a closer look, my mind's eye didn't see the imprint's triangular logo on the book's cover,
but that of Mexicana de Aviación, an icon whose impression is the pathway to memories of journeys to Mexico and Guatemala as a boy.
The raw visual similarities in each of logo's design elements (the 'm' at the bottom third of the image and the emphasis on the right hand side of the logos) temporarily scrambled my imagination and thought process. While looking at the covers of these books about 'great' records, I got to asking: with the exception of the 'honoraries' (aka The Smiths), why aren't any of pivotal chican@/latin@ crafted pieces tackled in this (arguably indie rockist) canon for rock aficionados? It would not be for lack of available material. Obvious places to start would be Los Lobos' career-defining opus Kiko or El Vez's sweeping piece of detourment, Graciasland. These records certainly deserve the 33 1/3 treatment, to say less of a record that, at the time, seemed to have brought mid-90s Mexican rock to the attention of an American listening public. I am referring to Café Tacvba's searing covers record, Avalancha de Exitos. Indie-philes would also do well to catch a glimpse into the reverse-pochismos of Plastilina Mosh.
Give me a couple of years to listen and research alongside a modest advance, and I'll think about writing about them all. Or with no advance, I could run a serialized posts on each record and possibly grouse about the cultural and business politics suggested by the selection of titles in the series.
As of this post's publication, the 33 1/3 series has neither published a piece on a latino-made record, nor do any appear to be planned. While waiting without holding our breaths, here's a little Cafe Tacvba to keep the home fires burning and the thoughts incubating.
