In the course of the Renaissance, as vernacular languages became more important in relation to Latin, it became increasingly necessary to establish rules for their use. This led to the production of grammars, the first of which was Antonio Nebrija's Castilian Spanish grammar in 1495. For us the question arises as to when the first Dutch grammar was produced. Well, here there are in some sense two answers. One answer is that the first Dutch grammar was Twespraeck der Nederduitsche Letterkunst, first published in 1584. It is thought that the probable author of this was the Amsterdam rhetorician Hendrick Laurenszoon Spiegel. It is a fairly extensive grammar containing many of the features we have come to associate with such books.
However, another answer is an anonymous manuscript dated 1568, i.e. 18 years earlier than Twespraeck, discovered in a country house in Zeeland in 1975. This has the title Voorreden vanden Noordich ende Nutticheit der Nederduytscher Taelkunste ('Argument for the Necessity and Usefulness of Dutch Grammar'). After much detailed study, Karel Bostoen came to the conclusion that the manuscript was the work of Johannes Radermacher, a German-born merchant who was living in London in 1568. Could it be that the first Dutch grammar was written not by a Dutchman in the Low Countries, but by the Aachen-born Radermacher in England? Yes and no. There are problems with this grammar. The most obvious is that it is unfinished, dealing only partially with one of the three themes set out in its introduction. Furthermore, it was not published, but remained in manuscript, and therefore is likely to have had little influence on subsequent Dutch grammars. On the other hand, it does provide an analysis of types of word, such as noun (namelijk) and verb (wervich) and discusses the sounds of the Dutch language. Perhaps, somewhat provocatively, the answer to the question depends on one's perspective. Some Dutch scholars are inclined to name Spiegel's work as the first Dutch grammar, while others such as the present author may prefer to name Radermacher as the author of the first Dutch grammar.

Spring is sprung with a vengeance! Sure, it started with a few sporadic daffodils and whatnot, no big deal, and then WHAM! all the magnolias and cherry blossoms at once in the past couple of weeks. This always happens. And I never get to sketch and photograph all the stuff I want to because it's gone before you can even blink. I've been catching some of it, though.
So this is what's happening all over the place now (click the photos to see them at a decent size...):

Mixers are always the centerpiece of every DJ set up. Every DJs life is based on a mixer. You might have the best records or CDs, perfect turntables, and a well-practiced set but if you don't have a fully functioning DJ mixer, you cannot reach your target any time soon. You can only attract your audience according to the functionality of the mixer you have.
A reliable and a stable mixer will offer you a fuzzy and warm feeling mostly if you are involved in live performances and you can participate online mixing and mastering competitions. Looking for the best DJ mixers before purchasing any is essential. Read some of the factors you should use to search for the right DJ mixer in the market as listed below.
Additional Features
Apart from the standard crossfader, volume controller, and the headphone inputs, few mixers have few crucial elements. Some of the features might be important while some may not. Some features have high and low pass filters and a built-in interface. You should look for sound quality mixers that contain extra features you want.
Consider Your Budget
You will find that the best DJ mixers are more expensive but choosing high-quality mixers will serve you for many years. Costly mixers might not be the best, however, the more expensive it is that more additional features you get. More so, some of the functions might be of no use to you as a DJ. But research thoroughly and buy what you need.
Number of Channels
Mostly the standard of many mixers is two channels. And a lot of DJs like this kind of mixer. Such mixers give you a chance to run two sources of sound or two turntables. We also have mixers can hold sixteen channels or microphones. However, this can be too much for the mixer. You can buy such kind of mixers if you want to perform in high advanced shows. You can use such mixers even when you have two turntables but add the number of tables in the future.
Mixer Type
You can choose to buy a mixer alone or buy one that has a DJ controller. A lot of latest digital mixers have various DJ controller abilities such as USB and MIDI connectivity. So if you want extra items, you can buy digital mixers. However, digital mixers can be costly, but they are fantastic.
It's hard to know the work of a DJ mixer before buying one. The mixers are essential for the job. They pick the audio signals from the decks and then combines them into one item. It helps you to change effectively from one song to another without challenges.
The fader runs the mixing of the tables. Mixers differ in prices according to the functionality. It's good to pay a lot but has a mixer that has high-quality sound to satisfy your audience. For you gain more listeners is by producing high-quality sound to them.…

Hamburg Harbor Tour
Sunday afternoon we took a boat tour of the harbor. (A two hour tour...)
Here is the Rickmer Rickmers again, this time seen from the water.
This is one of the largest dry docks in the world, and is capable of holding the largest class of cruise ships such as the Queen Mary.
This is one of the large floating dry docks in the harbor.
Here are some tugs.
And a Russian submarine.
This is the lightship Elbe 3, a mobile lighthouse.
Tugs pull and guide a large container ship.
Here is another large container ship. I like the closeup photo of the stern showing containers stacked six high.
Huge empty spools on another large cargo ship.
Large cranes load and unload container ships.
This building is shaped like a parallelogram.
Here is another picture of the uncompleted Philharmonic building.
Finally, the penthouse of this building is (reputedly) the most expensive apartment in Hamburg.

I FINALLY understand God. I FINALLY understand Jesus. I FINALLY GET IT!
Now, I'm not saying that I completely comprehend God or Jesus or the Trinity in general, but I feel like I finally understand the basics. I finally have an image in my head, a description in my mouth, and a truth in my heart. It's the answer to a prayer that I've had for a long time and one that I've prayed a lot about recently.
Jacob, my youngest brother, is an incredible person. His relationship with God is something that any Christian would long for. There is total love and trust and guidance and service there. But he's still young. And sometimes its hard for him to really converse with people about Jesus without them ending up frustrated. I have had many conversation with him where I've ended up frustrated and teary-eyed. He just wasn't able to help me understand or develop a further understanding of the answers I seek.
Eric, my other younger brother, has a gift for story telling. He's always been able to explain things in perfect detail. Well, as I was driving him to Indianapolis for a conference after Christmas we started talking about God and Jesus and all sorts of things. I told him that I wasn't sure exactly how the whole Trinity thing worked out and that I felt caught up in the pronouns and language used in the Bible. With Jesus calling God "the Father" and the Bible saying that Jesus "sits at the right hand of the Father", that's what I pictured: two completely separate entities. Jesus appeared to be God's VP or something. So we talked about it and he explained to me how he saw it; how he understood the Trinity. And the Holy Spirit must have been speaking through him because it just clicked! I started crying because I have been praying and waiting to understand this mystery for sooo long. It's been the topic of some pretty intense and entirely frustrating conversations with numerous people, so to feel like I finally understand it is such a gift.
So this is how I understand the Trinity to be....
I picture this big ball of warm, glowing, dancing light that created the world we live in. When it got to the inevitable point where humanity needed someone to lead them back onto the right path, God (the big ball of light) decided to split into three smaller balls of glowing, dancing light. They all circle and dance around each other in perfect harmony because they ultimately are one entity. One could not exist without the other. Kind of like if my soul, my body and my voice were all separate from each other in a physical way (but could not function unless all three were together). So these three balls of light are the trinity: Jesus is the physical representation of God, the ultimate sacrifice, the gateway, the face. The Holy Spirit is the voice of God, the inspiration, the warmth, the guide. And the third ball of light (known as "God") is the parent, the provider, the creator, the protector, the soul. One cannot exist without the others. All three are God. They are inexplicably linked and connected and together they are GOD.
I just needed the picture to understand it. I never had the picture before. The only picture was of Jesus, the flame, and the heavens. It was too separated for me to ever link them together as ONE ENTITY. But I can see it now. I can feel it.
And I want to paint it. I want to write it. I want to sculpt it. I want to glass it. I want to explore every medium possible in order to more fully glorify it. I want to be surrounded by it!

I was first consciously introduced to radionics in 1991 while offering homeopathy consultations and reiki training to veterinarians and animal practitioners (I say consciously introduced because as a teenager a therapist had totally cured my allergies using radionics but did not know it at the time). Anyway, I was consulting on a very difficult case and the homeopathic remedy for the particular paralysis a dog was experiencing was not legally available. It was Opium 6x. The frantic owner was adamant about using it, but it was just too risky to procure the raw material to make the remedy. I had visions of her telling of the cure at her next kennel club meeting, "And Oscar can walk now because they gave him opium." I prayed for an alternative and as it often happens the answer came in a very round about way.
The following Sunday I had been asked to work at a psychic and healing fair. There at a table was a man with all kinds of little gadgets. There were wooden boxes with what looked like tuna cans and dials inserted in them. At the time I was not much into gadgetry and I almost passed him by. But he smiled brightly and nodded so I stopped at his table more out of courtesy than curiousity.
What he had there amazed me. The wooden boxes with the dials and the tuna cans were home made radionic units. He was calling them prayer boxes. The instructions said to write your prayer and put your signature (signature means "sign of nature" and carries the vibration of your being or nature) on a piece of paper, put it in the well (tin can). Use the stickplate on the unit or a pendulum and turn the dials to the right setting.
He told me that you could also put a picture, blood or hair (this effigy was called the "witness")in the little well (that's what he was calling the tin can)instead of the signature and add a homeopathy remedy or a vitamin or medication and it will be the same as if the person or animal took it.
I asked how far it could broadcast the substance and he said that he knew for a fact as far as the moon because they were able to radionically moniter the astronauts' heartbeats. You could also treat and fertilize your plants, tell from a photo if someone was living or dead, find lost things. It was a realm of unlimited possibilities. Voodoo in a box. Quatum physics.
"Powerful mojo!" was my first thought. My mind was spiraling with the possibilities. I took one home and began to study. I learned that each substance has a numerical rate as does each disease. You could balance a disease with an opposing rate. For example, the numerical frequency or rate for gastric ulcer is 3032, the opposing rate is 7078. When there is a zero behind the first digit it indicates disease. It is subtracted from 100 (100-30=70). Cancer is indicated by the number 50 generally followed by rate for the body part. For example the rate for the bladder is 62. The rate for bladder cancer is 5062. Cancer is the exeception of the opposing rate rule. The opposing rate for 50 is 90. So the opposing rate for bladder cancer is 9048.
I heard of a priest who was teaching radionics and began to pester him for teaching. I asked for help with an animal I was working on. He also worked on a large ganglion cyst on my right wrist that according to the doctor would need surgery. He ran some rates, told me which homeopathic to take and that evening following a sharp pain, I saw it deflate before my eyes-never to return.
It was like magic. I was a convert. I learned all I could.
The following week I noticed that the tree in front of my city home was dying. I ran some rates and it need fertilizer so I called the city. They refused, saying wouod be more cost effective to cut it down and replant. That was sad. I said that I would pay and have it done. They said it was their tree and if I did this I would be fined. It is illegal to feed city trees. I decided to have it done anyway as risk the consequences as I was very fond of that tree.
While looking for a tree doctor I remembered the radionic unit. Grabbed it, put a leaf in the well threw in a drop of fertilizer. Dialed up the rates and braodcast it. Then dialed in a rate for a missing mineral and within a week the tree was fine. It even flowered.
During the 90's there was a law they were trying to get passed that made vitamins, minerals and herbs available by prescription only. This to me and others who use alternative therapies and supplements almost ezclusively and others lacking health insurance such an act would have been devastating. I saw it as a violation of freedom that my health would be put in the hands of beings that had already lost the war on cancer to the tune of billions of dollars. I viewed it at the time as a danger to my well being and that of my family. Imagine having to have a prescription for vitamin C.
To me radionics took away the worry of regulation of herbs and vitamins. If I had the rate and the unit, I had access to its benefits. It reminded me alot of the book Faerenheit 451 which is about the government banning books and burning them (451 is the temperature in which a book burns) nd taking ofenders to jail. There was a colony of people that had memorized the books. For example one could recite the Bible, another "Alice & Wonderland, etc. To me radionics, while not legal in some states, offered a viable solution.
While studying radionics one will gain deep insight into the realm of quantum physics. It deals with intent and effigy and amazingly enough when taken apart some of the more effective units have nothing more than a drawing of the circuitry inside
It is an effigy of a machine broadcasting to an effigy of a plant or animal! In many cases an actual witness is not used but a drawing made with intent will work all the same. After some time the unit may not be necessary at all. Broadcasting can be done with visualization.
While at Satyaloka last year I was asked about the possibility radionics being used to enlighten mankind. I have been doing quite a bit of personal experimentation. I have had some amazing experiences using the Sri Murthi or quartz from Satyaloka, and the moola mantra combined with various rates, but nothing long lasting.
Radionics works by resonance. Much depends on the operator. For example if I am working on an animal with a heart problem my healthy heart is resonating with his. It is much like when you put a loud powerful instrument like a piano in a room full of guitars, and strike a note, all of the guitars in the room will sound that note. I suspect that if someone who was fully enlightened were to use the unit he or she could indeed make deep impact on human consciousness.
There are numerical rates as well for various unecessary human psychological sufferings. For example grief is 50263, thoughtlessness is 40421, hate is 8093, depression is 60757, lack of confidence is 50014, self indulgence is 30131, greed is 30714, mental shock is 1010412, fear is 50627, lack of initative is 702191, anger is 3078, and guilt is 80534. There is a whole list. You can take your pendulaums now and go down the list of the handout I gave you for these conditions. Ask if it is a part of what you are experiencing. Perhaps you have been ill at ease and do not really know what is bugging you. This can give valuable insight as to your condition. It will help you see some of your suffering and may become quite humorous as well as healing just in the seeing.
I remember at the last workshop a man was shouting with glee, "That's is! That's it!" I am spiteful!" The woman beside him began to giggle, "I have alot of self pity!" (You can dowse with the pendulum and ask to gauge the intensity of the suffering on a scale of 1-10-10 being the highest-note also that these sufferings are followed by a "0" just like any other disease.) One by one they began to laugh with glee. The highlike of that session was when a very large a sour faced man let out a huge bellar and then laughed until he cried, "I have a lack of humor."
Often times just in the "seeing" the condtion is healed.
We will take a short break, look with the pendulum at our psychological sufferings and some of our inner conditions and then determine the best plan of attack radionically. Remember if it is in the core of man, it will also be expressed in one degree or another in you. It is like a radio receiver-how much of one thing or another are you picking up. So do not be shocked or embarrased by what is there. We will then determine if we use opposing rates, homeopathic rates, actual substances, colour rates, chakra rates, jewel or crystal rates, nutritional rates, aura rates, cosmic influences such as planet or constellation rates, or bach flower rates. Or perhaps we will use microcurrent frequency. It all depends. Many times in the seein the condition vanishes as in the man who found humor after finding himself to be devoid of it. He had always thought that he had a great sense of humor-yet no one who knew him would agree. After we have done that I will teach you a meditation to address suffering-to help you be free of it once and for all.

An Inward Journey to Enlightenment
Foundation For World Awakening
Rapidly gaining world-wide recognition as the global headquarters for the enlightenmnet of mankind, as so many have experienced the seldom discovered states of deep inner peace, unconditional love, Bliss, and Enlightenment at Mukti Yajnas at our Monasteries in Satyaloka and Nemam.
We ask but two questions:
Are you suffering?
Do you wish to be free of that suffering?
Suffering and Enlightenment are opposite ends of the same "reality."
Whether it is physical suffering, psychological suffering such as anger, hatred, grief, jealousy, fear, etc., or spiritual suffering such as lonliness, boredom, meaninglessness, a sense of separate existance, suffering has become the core of mankind.
It is the annihilation of ignorance that is the root of all suffering that will liberate you, and bring you into a state of enlightenment that was, in ancient times, the natural state of man.
Where is that State of Deep Inner Peace and Bliss?
Where is the legendary State of Unconditional Love?
Where is the elusive Path of Transformation and Enlightenment?

The one who attains moksha is liberated from the cycle of births and deaths. It is a final merging with Supreme Light.
While at Satyaloka last summer, I saw buses of senior citizens arriving to attend a moksha yajna. I could not help but notice the difference in the seniors as they were leaving several days later. There was a look of such peace and joy in their eyes. Their energy was bright and clear and they looked so very vibrant-so very beautiful-like great beings of light. They radiated love, power, peace, compassion, and wisdom. There was an sense of inner knowing and great vitality about them.
Many had been given the opportunity to go where mortals rarely go. They had traveled mystically to the realm of death and beyond death. They had visited the great beyond and had conquered man's greatest fear. They now had the roadmap for death and beyond, and they now knew how to have a beautiful and joyous physical death. They had personally discovered what was necessary to reach the seldom attained state of moksha. Many had received the profound divine mystical experience-the divine union-during the yajna as well. As a result they were now experiencing life to the fullest. It was like a rebirth for many of them. And it was so very beautiful to see them in that state.
I had a deep desire to make the moksha yajna available to the seniors of North America. Daily I begged the monks, and later Sri Mukteswara Bhagavan personally, to grant to me the training and initiation necessary to offer this yajna in the USA. He gave his consent. Be assured that the moksha yajna is perhaps the most beautiful and sacred yajna that one can participate in.
There is quite a demand for this world wide and I would very much like to take a group of mystically inclined individuals, possessing tremendous courage and compassion, to Satyaloka to receive dikshas, preparation and training to conduct the moksha yajna along with other programs. The prepartions for this endevour will begin in Phoenix Arizona in September of 2001. The excursion to Satyaloka for those who are able to properly prepare is tentatively planned for late December or mid January depending on availability of facilities and size of the group. Interested parties are urged to contact. Moksha Yajnas are also offered at the San Jose Center email@example.com. There will be an introductory and informational meeting in Phoenix July 20 from 7-9 at the Bombay Grill on Van Buren.

Anal gland disturbance or infection in animals that does not clear up after long term use of antibiotics may very well be fungal. Investigate the homeopathic, gunpowder 6x.
For feline leukemia or FIP it is worth trying Hobon R&R, Detoxosode, and Viratox combined with Lifeguard by Starlight International before destroying the animal. Keep in mind that Viratox may negate active immunity in animals vacinated recently-within 21 days or so. If counting on vaccine, it would be good to let your vet know and discuss revaccinating for recently vacinnated animals. Hobon is a licensed homeoapthic line. Hobon is available at the Easton Avery Vetrerinary Clinic in Morgantown, WV.
Hobon's fungi/yeast product is great for treating ringworm in all species.
CRYSTAL SINGING BOWLS are being used by physicias and healers to clear blocked energy in body and impact body's natural healing ability. Sound can also deeply impact consciousness. A very good bowl and a personal favorite is offered at www.crystalcarillon.com. Born in the Key of David which is the note the earth sounds while traveling trough space. Impeccibly manufactured this bowl also displays an egg shaped eidolon inside, which is an image of a form which does not physically exist- a phantom such as a rainbow. The eidolon is like a holograph but the energy coming from it is real.
Singing bowls are also being used to braodcast healing energy and aromatherapies on a vibrational level. It is interesting that the begging bowl of Buddha was a singing bowl of metal. The crystal carrilon assists in suppressing pain, increasing pleasure & strengthening the neuro immune response, improving vocal range, hearing range and reversal of behavioral problems such as arttention & concentration problems, aggressive behavior, & hyperactivity among other conditions.

About Turkey
TURKEY has been called "the cradle of civilization" and one can discover what this literally means only by traveling in this land of history. The world's first town, a neolithic city at Çatalhöyük, dates back to 6500 BC. From the days of Çatalhöyük up to the present time Turkey boasts of a rich culture that through the centuries has left a lasting foot-print on modern civilization. Being the heir of many centuries of culture makes Turkey a paradise of knowledge and cultural heritage. Hattis, Hittites, Phrygians, Urartians, Lycians, Ionians, Persians,Macedonians, Romans, Byzantines, Seljuks and Ottomans have all occupied crucial places in the historical background of Turkey and ancient sites and ruins scattered throughout the country give proof to each civilization's unique distinction. There is no doubt that one visit will not be enough, and you will want to come back again and again as you discover one extraordinary place after another. All of them, no matter how different, have one thing Turkey is a paradise of sun, sea, mountains and lakes that offers the vacationer a complete change from the stress and routine of everyday life. From April to October, most places in Turkey have an ideal climate that is perfect for relaxing on sandy beaches or enjoying the tranquility of mountains and lakes.
Turkish is the official language, but English is widely understood in the main tourist areas.
The best way to travel in and around the Turkish coastal resorts is by the local minibus services which can be hailed from the roadside. There are good bus services between the major towns and organised tours to many attractions, though more independent travelers often prefer to rent a car.
Average highest temperature in day time in March is 10°C / 50 F, average lowest temperature at night in March is 4,2°C / 39,56 F, average temperature in March is 7 °C / 44,6 F. Generally weather is rainy in March. It is advised for the guests who want to have a tour in Istanbul to take their umbrellas.
Turkish food is famous throughout the world, the range is enormous, from a number of soups to an astonishing variety of meze (appetisers), followed by meat and fish dishes, many famous Turkish sweets and pastries and Turkish coffee. The traditional breakfast is a scrumptious combination of tastes comprising bread, olives, tomato, cucumber, white cheese, butter, jam/honey, yoghurt, and sweet black tea. Tea is the main drink in Turkey, served without milk in small bulbous glasses with sugar lumps on the saucer. For a very refreshing long drink try Ayran, a mix of yoghurt, water and salt. There are also the normal soft drinks and a wonderful range of squeezed fruit juices. Among alcoholic drinks are light Turkish beer, excellent wines, and the national drink, raki (an anisette), which clouds when water is added giving it the popular name of 'lion's milk'.
Turkish currency is the Turkish Lira, TL. You will have a bank office near the Conference Center at your service. TL is freely sold and bought in hotels, banks and special exchange offices called "döviz bürosu". Car rental offices, hotels, above average restaurants, shops, travel agencies, gas stations will accept your credit cards. You can get cash with your credit card or cash card by using cash machines (ATM's) in bank buildings or street booths.

He is the basic classic and my all time favorite – the Vanilla Cupcake!
There are as many Vanilla Cupcake recipes as there are stars in the sky and surely everyone has his personal favorite, but today I want to share my fav recipe with you – Caution: This will be sweet! 🙂
Beforehand, I must admit that I am a huge fan of Peggy Porschen and that I derive many of my cupcake recipes from hers. In addition, this makes me a huge fan of using syrup to soak my cakes. Everyone of you must decide on his own whether or not you want to spend the extra time to make and use the syrup. I find that using syrup makes the difference between a decent and an over-the-top delcious cupcake, because there is not much worse than a boring, dust-dry cake.
So, Let's start baking!
For the batter (makes 12 cupcakes) you will need:
- 120g caster sugar
- 1 pinch of salt
- 120g soft butter
- 1 pkg. vanilla sugar / 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 eggs (room temperature)
- 120g cake flour
- 4g baking powder
Once you have all the ingredients and equipment ready, turn your oven to 350°Fahrenheit/180°Celsius air circulation (390°Fahrenheit/200°Celsius bottom and top heat) and position 12 muffin liners in your baking tray.
First, cream your butter, salt, sugar and vanilla flavoring with your elextric whisk to a light and fluffy conistency. After lightly whisking the eggs in a seperate bowl, slowly add them to the butter mixture. Mix thoroughly!
Continue manually. Sift your flour and baking powder (or not – cause I am lazy :-P) and use a wire whip to gently fold the flour in your butter-egg-mixture until you have a smooth batter.
Now let's get this batter into the oven – put 2 to 3 tbsp of the batter in each muffin liner or fill the cavities using a pastry bag to 2/3 full (I usually use the latter method, because when using a spoon I just get waaaay to messy) and put your muffin baking tray into your oven.
After 18-20 minutes the cupcakes should be lightly browned and done. Take them out of the oven and pop them right out of your tray.
2 methods to test if your cupcakes are ready:
- Poke a toothpick in the middle of your cupcake – if it comes out clean (crumbs don't count!), they are done!
- Lightly press down on your cupcake – if it springs back up, you are ready to go!
For the syrup (optional!) you will need:
- 20ml water
- 20g sugar
- (a few drops vanilla extract)
Making syrup is easy-peasy: Just put your water and sugar into a pot and allow it to come to a boil. Once all the sugar granules have dissolved and the syrup has thickened a little bit, it is done. Take it off of your stove and let it sit.
Usually, I just make a whole lot of syrup at once and then store it in my fridge – keeping it handy.
You can add basically any flavor to your syrup – of course the flavor added to the syrup must always fit with the basic flavor of the cake you are going to soak. The syrup will intensify the flavor of your cake and keep it moist.
For this recipe, I would use vanilla flavoring. Just stir in a few drops of vanilla extract once the syrup has cooled.
To soak the cupcakes simply dip a silicone brush into your syrup and coat the tops of the cupcakes. Do this as soon as they come out of the oven, because they soak better, when they are still hot/warm. Be generous and coat every cupcake twice.
For the Simple Vanilla Buttercream Frosting you will need:
- 1/2 vanilla pod
- 125g soft butter
- 250g powdered sugar, sifted
- (12 raspberries)
Scrape the seeds from half a vanilla pod. Put them together with the butter into a bowl. Beat on high with an electric whisk. Add the sifted!!! (being lazy at this point will lead to a poor outcome, so sift away) sugar in 3 portions to the butter mixture and beat vigorously.
The frosting should be light and airy. In case it is too stiff, add 2-3 tbsp of milk or heavy cream. In case it is too soft, slowly add more sifted sugar.
Decorate your syrup soaked and completely cooled cupcakes with the frosting using an icing bag (my fav icing tip is a big star tip) or simply using a spatula to spread the frosting on top. This frosting is very intense, so don't be overly generous: less is more!
Lastly, you can put one raspberry on each cupcake to top it off. Et voià, c'est ca!
ALTERNATIV: For the Vanilla Cream Cheese Frosting you will need:
- 125g butter
- 320g powedered sugar, sifted
- 3/4 tsp vanilla extract
- 125g cream cheese, full fat
Using an electric whisk, beat your butter. Add the vanilla extract and your sifted sugar in two portions, beating vigorously at each stage. At this point, the consistency of your frosting is rather crumbly.
Now add the cream cheese and beat on the lowest possible setting. Don't be tempted to beat on high! Beat only for as long as you need to receive a smooth consistency – overbeating will lead to a runny consistency that is horrible to work with. If you do not use the frosting immediately or it did get a little bit too soft, put it in your fridge and let it set.
Use the frosting to decorate your syrup coated and completely cooled cupcakes with a spatual or an icing bag. This icing is a lot lighter than pure buttercream, so you can be more generous with it! 🙂
Have a baketastic baking day,
Your Backdirndl

Dendrobium moschatum grows in Southeast Asia at low altitudes. It is cool to hot growing, needs bright light and is fragrant. It blooms spring into summer on leafless canes. Flowers last only a few days. The genus Dendrobium (Den) contains 1200 species from all parts of Asia and the Pacific. Some like a dry winter rest, all like to dry out between watering. Flowers are long lasting.

Nor-Cal Dwelling Enhancements is an organization founded on simply doing the fitting factor for our prospects. But it surely is not, and sometimes their tax invoice is definitely a lot increased than that $50,000. But 10 years from now, many owners can have beneficial properties that exceed the tax-free threshold, assuming annual progress in costs of 3.5 percent and no further enhancements to the property.
Some smaller and perhaps stunning things are there, too: set up of utility companies, which could embody any fiber costs from Verizon for FiOS or money you paid to the one who hard-wired your Apple TV to your cable modem. Best Value Residence Improvements did my lavatory 5 Years in the past and did a wonderful professional job, under Frank leadership. Thanks to Finest Value House Enhancements and Enkhee for a terrific expertise and wonderful new toilet.

The retailers in the Newsweek building, at 57th and Broadway, are not a chic bunch. The Cosmic Restaurant and Coffee Shop is a tile-and-Formica diner. There's a Ricky's cosmetics, a CompUSA. And, facing southeast, there's Coliseum Books -- until it closes forever on January 20.
The 27-year-old store is, in fact, much like the New York Coliseum itself. Both were a little seedy, bits of pre-Giuliani New York. And both were doomed by a sense that dumpy old Columbus Circle may finally become a hot destination.
The mammoth AOL Time Warner Center -- going up on the site of the old Coliseum and opening in mid-2003 with a high-end mall, Mandarin Oriental Hotel, luxe apartments, and Jazz at Lincoln Center -- is of course why. Local landlords have big expectations, and rents are rising. Coliseum Books paid $70 per square foot; the new asking price is about $200. That sealed it, says partner George Leibson, who adds that the store had been losing money since a Barnes & Noble opened a few blocks north.
This sort of commercial gentrification is usually slow (think Columbus Avenue in the 1980s). It's also the second try in this area, after the Invasion of the Theme Restaurants, circa 1994. But the huge sums involved now mean faster, bigger changes. Cosmic signed a new lease recently, going from $40 to $120 a foot; the owners say they expect another jump in two years. This despite the recession and a surprising number of empty stores nearby (including Planet Hollywood and a big Lechters).
Whether one building can remake a whole area is debatable. Worldwide Plaza was supposed to transform Hell's Kitchen and lead midtown westward, but few followed. AOL, however, has already been joined by Random House's new building at Broadway and 55th Street, and a glass tower is planned atop Hearst's building at Eighth and 57th.
According to AOL Time Warner leasing consultant Robert K. Futterman, the developer hasn't had to lower rents since September 11. Futterman is also the leasing agent for Random House, and says the same is true there: "We're still getting over $100 a foot." Is he worried? "We'd priced it realistically," he says, adding that the big drops have been "in tourist locales -- Times Square, SoHo."
Of course, until next year, everything is guesswork. One big wait-and-see sign comes from Wien & Malkin, owners of that empty Lechters. W&M director of marketing Fred C. Posniak won't confirm who the new tenant is (rumors say it's Payless Shoes), but he will say it's a short lease. After that, adds Posniak, his plans are clear: "We will definitely benefit from the changes in the neighborhood."


text: UnCategorized One of the biggest challenges facing businesses and other organizations these days is to have as much of the enterprise's data available on a real time basis as possible. This means that executives and other decision makers should be able to access all of the .pany's information from their .puters whenever they need it. Not surprisingly such real time access to data can save a corporation hundreds or thousands or millions of dollars. Such access can eliminate or reduce the need for expensive office staff. It can also stop the tremendous waste that occurs when several employees spend hours running around looking for a critical piece of information. Individuals can do their jobs rather than search for a needle in a haystack. The Benefits of Warehousing Business Information The best way to get such real time access to data is to create a business information warehouse. This is a digital depository that contains all of an organization's files in easy to access electronic form. The savings from a BW can be tremendous it can eliminate the need to pay for storage of paper files. It can also reduce the need for file clerks and other employees. A .pany can even eliminate the need for archiving and other forms of off site storage. It must also be noted that such an information storehouse is the best way to .ply with laws such as HIPPA and Sarbanes Oxley. These regulations require businesses to have a lot of paperwork on file in an easy to access form. Such solutions can allow employees working at home to have access to the same files as their colleagues at the office. This can save money by eliminating the need for additional office space. It can also allow workers in the field to get the info they need without going to the office. Consultants Can Help A good way to create such a warehouse is to contact an enterprise software consulting firm. Such a firm can show a .pany's management how to use existing software such as SAP to create such a warehouse. More importantly these consultants can show a firm how to use virtual solutions to create a BW and integrate it into the network without adding hardware. This can save an outfit millions and it can be done without disrupting normal operations. Emergencies Off site storage solutions can easily be implanted so the data can quickly be accessed in an emergency. This way a corporation can be back up and running even if fire or a tornado destroys its headquarters. There will be no need to worry about an outfit's paper files being lost. Instead all of the information to resume operations will be available at the push of a button. In many cases such backup is required by law. If the files aren't available a firm can face serious legal consequences. Security The final thing that SAP and other consultants can do is to implement is to create security measures that will keep most data safe. Indeed, an information warehouse could be safer than paper files. There won't files sitting around that can be easily copied or lost. All the data will be secure in the warehouse which can be protected with the latest security software and encryption. The boss can rest easy knowing that all the info is available and that will be there no matter what befalls the .pany.

Positive outlook
If a negative thought should happen to arise, you can let it get you down or you can let it go. Yes, you can simply choose to let it go.
Although negative thinking may indeed feel comfortable and familiar, eventually it leads to great pain. Let it go.
Perhaps you assume you have to be negative in order to be realistic. That's not the case.
By all means, acknowledge and accept the reality of your situation. Then choose to deal with it in a positive, purposeful manner.
Your future is determined by the way you choose to approach it. Approach it with the best of expectations, and you'll make your future the very best it can be.
Give yourself a positive outlook, moment after moment, day after day. And you'll be giving yourself a positive, fulfilling life.

Greystone House Montessori Schools Houston
Locations – Evergreen
In General
All Locations
Ms. Jo-Ann, Administrator Afternoon
My husband Jim and I have a son who recently graduated from the University of Houston in engineering. I have had over 25 years experience in childcare and development. I earned my Child Development Associate's Certification in the spring of 1998. I love antiques, flea market shopping, and good books. One of the things I love the most about my job is the daily involvement I have with the children and their parents.
Ms. Christina, Administrator Morning
I am originally from Cheyenne, Wyoming. In May 2000, we moved from Portland, Oregon, where I was the Executive Director of the Pacific Northwest Intergovernmental Audit Forum for the U.S. General Accounting Office. I have a bachelor's degree in Geography/Natural Resource Management from the University of Wyoming. I enjoy playing the piano, singing, and being in nature. I came to Greystone House in January of 2001. I have a son and a daughter, who are both Greystone House graduates, and two step-daughters. I have learned so much from working with the staff and families of Greystone House over the years and am thankful for all the wonderful opportunities that Greystone House has provided for me and my family.
Ms. Richelle, Toddler Teacher
I've lived in a lot of places because my family was in the military, but I've lived in Houston since I was 12. When I was in high school, I took a course in early childhood education. That's when I learned that I love working with children. I'm currently working on a bachelor's degree in education, and there's no better experience than working with toddlers. At home I enjoy shopping, entertaining family and friends, and I'm a big Texans fan.
Ms. Deepali, Primary Directress
I was born in India and came to the USA in 1995 with my husband. I have a bachelor's degree in science and a post graduate diploma in computer management from the University of Bombay. Our daughter Esha and son Neel both graduated from Greystone House and they now attend elementary school. I started my career in the US working as a programmer/analyst for six years. During that time my children started going to Greystone House. Soon I decided to change my career and work with children. I came on staff here in 2003, and I completed my Montessori certification in 2006. Working with children is definitely more challenging and enjoyable than programming. I have always believed in "follow the child" philosophy.
Ms. Doreen, Infant Directress
I was born in Romania, and I have two adult daughters who both have graduated from college. I have been working with infants and toddlers since 1995 and obtained my Montessori certification for infancy from AMS. Infants and toddlers are my passion! There is nothing so wonderful in the world as their laughter and their becoming independent. I am a gardener, and I love being outdoors, photography, and traveling.
Ms. Jenn, Primary Directress
I came to Greystone House as a parent back in 2002. My son, Tate, started in the Primary Program and soon thereafter, my newborn daughter, Abbi began in the Infant Program. After working in the corporate world and helping my husband run the family business, I soon realized my passion for children. I came on staff in January 2008, and in the summer of 2011, I completed my training as a Montessori directress. My hobbies include spending time with my children, baking, reading, and entertaining friends and family.

The 4-Hour Body: An Uncommon Guide to Rapid Fat-Loss, Incredible Sex, and Becoming Superhuman By Tim Ferriss
I recently finished Tim Ferris' latest project and book after hearing raving reviews. I must admit I was pleasantly surprised. I am a big fan of this "experimentalist's" first book, The 4-Hour workweek, new york times bestseller for 15+ months. By managing to maximize efficiency in business by leveraging time and outsourcing as much time consuming tasks possible we can apparently work 4 hours per week and have the rest of the time to complete case studies on performing super-human tasks and feats. So why not apply this efficient principle to our body!? I like the book and think it's great for anyone looking to make a change in their body. This could be from learning to run or swim more efficiently to adding muscle and building confidence! The book is easy to read, more like a manual or study guide, loaded with fun studies and experiments.
Some cool quotes from the book:
"What's the fastest way for someone to improve their inner game? Improve your outer game." – Richard Branson
"We seem to have confused comfort with happiness." – Dean Karnazes
The biggest buzz around this book was about this slow carb diet. There is a cult-like following around this ketogenic style diet (slow carb). Claims and case studies losing 20+ lbs of fat and gaining muscle in as little as 30 days! All of his studies are based around the theory of The minimum effective dose (MED) is defined simply: the smallest dose that will produce a desired outcome. I automatically was a little alarmed about the rules and guidelines but as I read into it, I kept in open mind and looked at his perspective with all of his case studies and research that he had completed. Here is a summary of the slow carb diet from the book: Besides whole foods, anything you put in your mouth or your bloodstream that has an effect is a drug. Treat them all as such.
Here is my outline and notes from the book:
Four principles of failure-proofing behavior:
Rule #1 It's not what you put in your mouth that matters, it's what makes it to your bloodstream. If it passes through, it doesn't count.
Rule #2 The hormonal responses to carbohydrates (CHO), protein, and fat are different.
- Make it conscious.
- Make it a game.
- Make it competitive.
- Make it small and temporary.
Starting a body recomposition program without measurements is like planning a trip without a start address. I guarantee you will regret it later.
Photograph all meals or snacks prior to eating. I thought this was cool, at the least it helps your become aware of what you are eating and forces you to take a minute to think about the long term.
"what gets measured gets managed"
Subjects who use food diaries lose three times as much weight as those who don't.
Measurement = motivation. Seeing progress in changing numbers makes the repetitive fascinating and creates a positive feedback loop
"I just want to be healthy" is not actionable.
Starting a body recomposition program without measurements is like planning a trip without a start address!!
"The decent method you follow is better than the perfect method you quit."
Rule #1 Avoid "White" Carbohydrates. (All bread, rice (including brown), cereal, potatoes, pasta, tortillas, and fried food with breading.
Rule #2 Eat the Same Few Meals over and over Again.
*Egg whites with 1–2 whole eggs for flavor (or, if organic, 2–5 whole eggs, including yolks)
*Chicken breast or thigh
*Beef (preferably grass-fed)
*Fish Pork Legumes
*Lentils (also called "dal" or "daal")
*Black beans Pinto beans Red beans Soybeans Vegetables
*Mixed vegetables (including broccoli, cauliflower, or any other cruciferous vegetables)
*Sauerkraut, kimchee (full explanation of these later in "Damage Control") Asparagus Peas Broccoli Green beans Eat as much as you like of the above food items, but keep it simple. Pick three or four meals and repeat them.
Eating more frequent meals also appears to have no enhancing effect on resting metabolic rate, despite claims to the contrary.
Make sure to have your first meal within an hour of waking. Meals are approximately four hours apart
Do not drink milk (including soy milk), normal soft drinks, or fruit juice. Limit diet soft drinks to no more than 16 ounces per day if you can, as the aspartame can stimulate weight gain.
The only exceptions to the no-fruit rule are tomatoes and avocados. Say no to fruit and its principal sugar, fructose, which is converted to glycerol phosphate more efficiently than almost all other carbohydrates. Glycerol phosphate → triglycerides (via the liver) → fat storage.
RULE #5 TAKE ONE DAY OFF PER WEEK. (Binging once a week)
Dramatically spiking caloric intake in this way once per week increases fat-loss by ensuring that your metabolic rate (thyroid function and conversion of T4 to T3, etc.) doesn't downshift from extended caloric restriction. That's right: eating pure crap can help you lose fat.
It is important to spike caloric intake once per week. This causes a host of hormonal changes that improve fat-loss, from increasing cAMP and GMP to improving conversion of the T4 thyroid hormone to the more active T3. Everyone binges eventually on a diet, and it's better to schedule it ahead of time to limit the damage.
Against whole grains, a principle from the paleo "cave man" diet.
Discourages consuming any refined soy products, including all soy milk and isolated soy protein supplements.
Some fried foods are ok: Stir-fry is ideal for this diet, as are most cuisines (like Thai) that depend on it.
On Convenience or "eating on the go"
If you're airport-hopping and cannot find a Mexican restaurant or grill, grab a bag of raw almonds or walnuts at a kiosk and commit to consuming no starch.
Most airports also have chicken salads (omit dressings besides olive oil or vinegar) that you can combine with the nuts. If it comes down to it, choose mild hunger instead of deviation.
Having followed this diet in 30+ countries, I can state without exception that travel is not a legitimate excuse for breaking the rules.
Interesting tips when eating too much and/or binging:
Have as much of the crap ingested either go into muscle tissue or out of the body unabsorbed. He suggests focusing on three principles:
PRINCIPLE #1 Minimalize the release of insulin, a storage hormone
Steps to manage Insulin release: minimized by blunting sharp jumps in blood sugar. Using enzymes and citic juices to aid in moving the food.
PRINCIPLE #2 Increase the speed of gastric emptying, or how quickly food exits the stomach
Accomplished primarily through enzymes, caffeine, and yerba mate tea
PRINCIPLE #3 Engage in brief muscular contraction throughout the day
For muscular contractions, my default options are air squats, wall presses, push-ups, etc.. You may ask, "Why the hell would you want to do 60–90 seconds of funny exercises a few minutes before you eat and, ideally, again about 90 minutes afterward?"
Because it brings glucose transporter type 4 (GLUT-4) to the surface of muscle cells, opening more gates for the calories to flow into.
Interesting Section on Losing the Final 5–10 Pounds
Removing even a little dairy can dramatically accelerate fat-loss!
Macadamia oil is the new and improved olive oil.
There should be no need, or real physical urge, to eat snacks. If you are hungry, you're not eating enough protein and legumes at each meal.
Eating a balance protein rich meal every three waking hours: Like natural shake, clean lean meat, fish, eggs, or salad.
Balancing Bacteria for Fat Loss
- Get off the Splenda.
- Go fermented.
- Consider probiotics and prebiotics.
Lemon juice lowers glycemic response. Three tablespoons of fresh-squeezed lemon juice just prior to eating appeared to lower blood sugar peaks by approximately 10%.
Cinnamon, even in small doses, has a substantial effect on glucose levels. One and a half teaspoons. Don't consume more per day.
And another hot topic, Brazil Nuts – Tim points out in his studies, that supplementing with a few brazil nuts which are one of the highest sources of selenium have positive effects on the body. From what I've found brazil nuts carry mood and testosterone boosting benefits. The selenium in the nuts is required for synthesis and metabolism of the thyroid hormones, thus effecting energy, feel good chemicals, sperm count, and testosterone.
Brazil nuts are high in fat and calories… so a few goes along way. I use them in smoothies and actually made some good brazil nut milk with the vitamix by soaking them adding water, vanilla, and mixing. After blended, I squeezed through mesh cloth and made a delicious powerhouse dessert with the leftover meat from the milk.
More than quality, it's the size and speed of meals that determined glycemic response. The easiest thing you can do to decrease glucose spikes is slow down. It also helps to drink more water to dilute digestion, eat smaller portions, and chew more.
"For fastest fat-loss, minimize your blood sugar bumps above 100 to no more than two per day. "
Supplements suggested for 4 hour body diet:
Tim suggests a cocktail of health boosting supplements to maximize efficiancy of fat burning, digestion, antioxidant, energy transformation, muscle and joint pain prevention. He calls this the PAGG stack. Made up of:
- Alpha Lipoic Acid ALA helps you store the carbohydrates you eat in muscle or in your liver as opposed to in fat.
- Green Tea Extract Stimulating effect, Polyphenols, and antioxidants
- Super Cissus Supports Strong And Healthy Joint, Ligaments, Tendons And Cartilage
- Aged Garlic Supplementmaintain cholesterol levels and Garlic is also known to support circulation
Read more about them at his site or bodybuilding.com
Also suggested supplements such as : probiotics and prebiotics. Probiotics are bacteriaLA (alpha lipoic acid) helps you store the carbohydrates you eat in muscle or in your liver as opposed to in fat. Plus more…
The book also has a section of case studies from vegan based athletes. Taking examples of adding muscle and strength without meat. Very interesting! The book references studies from The China Study and some other popular strength and endurance athletes who eat plant based. –
What I took from the diet is that "primarily plant-based diet (what I'll refer to as "PPBD") makes most sense.
This includes 5 Steps:
Step 1 Remove starches (rice, bread, grains) and add legumes. Dense products, like black bean burgers without buns, are encouraged.
Step 2 Ensure that all of your meat is pasture-raised, grass-fed, or sourced within 50 miles of your home.
Step 3 Eat meat only after 6:00 P.M. (what Mark Bittman and others refer to as the "vegan till 6" plan) or eat meat only on the weekends or on cheat days.
Step 4 Remove all meat except fish (pescatarian) and/or eggs and dairy (lacto-ovo vegetarian).
Step 5 Eat a 100% plant-based vegan diet.
Brief Summary on Exercise from 4HB
Suggested only working out 3 Days per week varying based on optimal recovery and rest. This sounds nice! Also making a point at how much diet plays a role in staying healthy and lean.
Exercises were all done with top strength and conditioning coaches and our available in the book and at his blog.
A lot of full body compound exercises like kettlebell workouts and interval style training.
Need better sleep? Try using a single bed sheet at a room temperature between 67°F and 70°F produced the fastest time to sleep. Also try a cold shower before bed to adjust your body temperature. Helps with rem sleep!
And Tims answer to sum up book and justify why he can write about these things, "I'm just a relentless record keeper of all things physical. All of these factors have led me to some really interesting conclusions — conclusions that are going to save people a lot of time and wasted effort. The new book is a minimalist guide to the smallest changes in about 50 areas that produce the biggest results, ranging from fat loss to muscular gain to ultra-endurance to sex and sleep."
"I approached the book as an investigator and an experimenter. Now, the content and the protocols — all of that came from people who are the best at what they do or from findings that came out of those self-experiments and testing with others, from Joe DeFranco, Charles Poliquin and Pavel Tsatsouline to Dr. Tim Noakes and NASA-based researchers."
I can't say that I agree with everything in this book. In this case, I'm just the reporter. I can see applying a few of the principals but things like fruit are going to be just about impossible for me to give up anytime soon. Check the book out to get much much much more details as well as tips and studies on: Training, running, 40 yd dash, swimming, and sex life.

Having a Premium account and a possible 6 free calendars, (each with the same 4 different categories and colours) the Merge does not appear to transfer the category colours to the Premium calendar. This makes the imported calendars look 'odd' compared with the category colours on the Premium account.
Is there no way you can arrange for the colours to be merged?
Also I presume that if imported calendars had identical categories the tick boxes to show/hide would not work either?
I have tested it with a free calendar and set identical category details and colours but to no avail!!!

This isn't an oversight; ever since we allowed people to color events (not including custom categories) we've "pushed" merged calendars to the default color.
You are correct that the tick boxes would not work for merged categories with identical names. Under the covers, even though the names are identical, they are actually different category IDs. That's part of why we can let members have unlimited categories without stepping on each other.
I suppose you noticed you can color-code merged calendars. If we merged in the category colors, which would take precedence?
I'll pass this along to our devs, but I'm not sure there's a way to make it work that would make everyone happy. Happy to pass along any other thoughts/suggestions you might have.

Hi Mark,
I have been trying to merge a couple of calendars with the same categories. On the "master" calendar, the tick boxes do work for merged categories with identical names. However, all events have the same format, i.e. the event's default. I have also added the exact same categories on the master calendar. However, the colors on the master do not update (and the ticks still work...).
Would it be possible to apply the master calendar categories formatting to all events from all merged calendars with the exact same category names. Looks like it works for the ticks, maybe it is not so much work to make it work for the event's formatting...

Even though the names are the same, the underlying categories all have a unique, system generated ID. That's how we allow multiple members to have the same category names, yet their own custom colors.
Right now, it's not possible to merge in categories and retain the colors and formatting. This is definitely something we can look into as an enhancement however (I will add it to our internal list)

Thanks Marc for your response. This would be very useful for us.

Hi Mark,
Thanks to the team for adding the "Filter categories" functionality. This will be very useful for us.
What we have in mind is to create a number of cobranded calendars with common categories. We will need to display each individual calendar on our website as well as each "categorie" calendars and one master calendar including everything.
The cobranding allows us to create each calendar with the same formatting, the "Filter categories" allows us to display the each "category" calendar and the merge calendar allows us to combine them all. The only issue that is preventing us from doing it is the fact that we can't import the category colours in the merged calendars.
Would it be possible for you guys to look into this?

We are considering an option or setting to bring in the colors of merged events.
I should mention that in all likelihood, the underlying custom categories of merged events will not be brought over. That means the filtering of merged calendars may not work the way you are hoping.

We have been playing quite a bit with merging calendars and categories and we found a way to keep the categories filtering functionality in the "master" calendar, i.e. the calendar where all other calendars are merged.
Please correct us if we are wrong in any of the following as this is only what we think we understood…
We noticed that when creating a category in any calendar, the event is assigned a category number by order of when they have been created. For instance, if the first category created is "car", all events with this category will have "&category=100" at the end of the event url. The second category you create, say "boat" will have "&category=101" and so on…
Once you merge all calendars, the category assigned to them remains on each event. Therefore, if you create category "car" firstly and category "boat" secondly within your master calendar, the master calendar filtering will work for all merged events as well as the master calendar events.
What you need to be careful about is to create the right categories in the right order. In the example above, if you create the category "boat" first on the master calendar and then "car", the master calendar will consider all events with category 100 as "boat", i.e. when clicking on "boat" in the master calendar, you will filter "car" events of the merged calendar.
Hope this helps the other users that have been trying to do the same things than us…
We have not found any way to keep the colours though but Mark advised that localendar is looking into this…
