I'm simply in love with this recipe.
I mean, just LOOK at these pictures!! Is this sea of blistered and bubbling strawberries not the most darling image you've ever laid your eyes on?
I'm going to argue that it most certainly is.
One of the purest joys of summer is the fresh and bountiful produce. Yes, with our ever globalized world and my privileged NYC coordinates I'll admit that I'm spoiled with an array of farm fresh goodies practically year-round. But when fruits and veggies are at their peak the taste, feel, smell, everything about them is better. Which is why I'm so excited about these strawberry crumbles.
Proximity to the Union Square Greenmarket is a glorious thing for a blogger like me, and that's exactly where these in-season strawberries were curated. Do you have a local farmers market of your own? Do you love it? Are you obsessed? Have you grown from a tepid, side-eyeing browser to enthusiastic purchaser of every damn artisanal product under the sun?!
When I mosey over to the farmers market fresh produce is always my first pitstop, and I waste no time diving right in. I know that some people have strong opinions about rinsing and washing fruits and veggies, but when I'm at the market I'll naw my teeth right into a freshly picked peach, taste-test perfectly plump plums, and nibble on siren red strawberries the second I get my greedy hands on them – No washing, no waiting, no hesitation.
From my perspective the key advantage of a farmers market is being able to tangibly gauge freshness. You can't waltz into Whole Foods and sample A single strawberry or ONE handful of blueberries. I mean sure, you could, though I'm pretty sure that's stealing. But at the farmers market the freedom is unprecedented. Vendors want you to sample, to nibble, to try and taste and fall in love with their perfectly preened product. And so late last week I dove teeth first into a pile of farm fresh strawberries, and after just one bite I knew they were coming home with me.
I'm one of those unfortunate people who are prone to inhaling sweets vs. actually tasting them like a civilized human being, so to manage this habit I opted for mini crumbles in lieu of one giant heaping pie. My portioned approached meant I actually ate these one. at. a. time., which is a small miracle unto itself, plus mini things are just so cute, aren't they? Mini just makes food better.
Also great? Now you know exactly how to impress your in-laws or your gal pals or your monthly bookclub/brunch thang.
You make them mini strawberry crumbles.
Serving loved ones a personal-sized dessert is a fancy little gesture, but lucky for you these crumbles couldn't be simpler to prepare. All you need is two mixing bowls, two spoons, and a few stirs – That's as complicated as this recipe gets. And I can't believe I've waited this long to say it, but YES! These crumbles are 100% vegan and completely gluten-free.
I'm baking at a whole new level you guys, can you believe it?!
For the filling I made sure to keep things simple, clean, and not over-sweetened. Traditional pie/crumble recipes call for as much as a cup of sugar, which is frankly ridiculous – fruit is already sweet! So I settled for 1/2 cup organic sugar + a few drizzles of honey, which provided the perfect level of sweetness without doing too much. For a gentle touch of tang I add a quick teaspoon of lemon zest, and for a slightly syrup-y consistency a bit of water + dash of cornstarch is all that was needed. From there, spoon your filling into your dishes and you're halfway finished.
The crumble is just as quick to make as the filling and is a simple combo of oats, brown sugar, coconut oil, and cornstarch. Using cornstarch on the crumble (as opposed to flour) kept this recipe gluten-free, and substituting coconut oil for butter made this vegan.
It's all about smart swaps!
After 25 minutes in the oven these come out piping hot, and the smell is straight-up INCREDIBLE. It will be loudly tempting you to dig in immediately, so please don't burn your face off – Let them cool.
The crumbles are aces for texture, flavor, presentation… it's really an all-around winner. But the best part is how this back-to-basics recipe simply lets the strawberries shine. The natural strawberry sweetness bubbles through every crumble crack, sings through the thick syrup-y sauce, and oozes out of each bursting bite. It's delicious, it's gorgeous, and ya need to make it asap.
Preheat oven to 400F. Lightly grease four 5″ creme brûlée dishes with Crisco, then arrange atop large baking sheet. Set aside.
In large mixing bowl combine all filling ingredients, stirring until well mixed. Next, evenly spoon filling into greased baking dishes.
In another mixing bowl combine all topping ingredients, stirring well. Evenly crumble oat mixture atop strawberry filling, then bake for 25 minutes till browned and bubbling. Allow to cool slightly, then top with dairy-free ice cream and serve.
>> Because the creme brûlée dishes are shallow they will bubble over while in the oven – Try and keep them as centered on the baking sheet as possible! This will prevent overflow drips on your oven floor.
>> As written this recipe can also be made as one large pie in a ~9″ pie dish. Baking time shouldn't vary much but you'll need to keep an eye on it to be sure.
Did you forget the pics? LOL I want to see how yummy it is! LOL!
Ohhhh there they are, YUMMMMMMM!
YUM! this looks awesome 😉 I love strawberries and the topping o-m-g I love crunchy oat toppings!!!
These mini crumbles are adorable! And strawberries are my favorite so this is a perfect dish in my book!

If you are running GNP3 on Windows 8, you may have noticed that the old method of installing and configuring a loopback device does not work the same as it used to.
"unable to create generic ethernet NIO"
Type: "hdwwiz" and click "OK"
This will launch the "Add Hardware Wizard"
Select "Microsoft" in the left hand pane, and select "Microsoft KM-TEST Loopback Adapter" in the right hand pane.
Once you have rebooted, open your network connections.
I changed the name to GNS Loopback. You may call it whatever you like.
Assign an IP Address to the card. I use a local private address as follows, The gateway is the IP that I will later assign to an emulated Cisco device. It makes sense for my purposes, but your needs may be different.
You can now open GNS3 and add a Cloud Interface.
In the cloud configuration screen, add the loopback adapter and click apply. you can now connect to the cloud interface from a Cisco emulated router.
I've been using the method you're describing in Windows 8 without incident for almost a year until recently... After having reset my PC back to factory default due to it being "laggy," I've now lost the ability to have my loopback adapters I create communicate with GNS3.
Are you not experiencing "any" problems at all using Windows 8 with your loopback adapters?
For me this works perfectly, I have had no issues with it.

Q: Linq query to calculate sum of object properties I have a list of Customers List<Customer> customers = new List<Customer>();with this format
class Customer {
    public string Name;
    public string City;
    public Order[] Orders;

}

class Order {
    public int Quantity;
    public Product Product;

}

class Product {
    public string Name;
    public decimal Price;
}

Every customer is instantiated like this:
    Customer customer3 = new Customer {
        Name = "Kostas",
        City = "Athens",
        Orders = new Order[] {
            new Order {Quantity = 1, Product = new Product {Name = "Juice", Price = 20 } },
        },
    };

I want to write a LINQ query that prints out the name of the customer and the total amount of all the orders.
So far after lots of tries the closest i have done is this, but it does not work as intended.
        var query= from c in customers
                        from p in c.Orders
                        let summary = p.Product.Price * p.Quantity
                        select new {c.Name, summary };

A: Use Select to create a list of anonymous objects with the Sum of the order quantity and product price. Note that this is using expression syntax rather than query syntax.
var query = customers.Select(c => new {
    Name = c.Name,
    OrderTotal = c.Orders.Sum(o => o.Quantity * o.Product.Price)
});

This will result in an IEnumerable<T>, where T is an anonymous object containing props for the Name and OrderTotal.

A: you should be change your way to solve it.
I think you should be create a property for 'summary' on customer class
like this
  class Customer
{
    public string Name;
    public string City;
    public Order[] Orders;
    public int Summary
    {
        get
        {
            int result = 0;
            foreach(Order order in this.Orders)
            {
                result += order.Product * order.Quantity;
            }
            return result;
        }
    }
}

and then you can get just foreach code, simply
        foreach(Customer customer in customers)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("{0}/{1}", customer.Name, customer.Summary);
        }

Boston Symphony Orchestra bass trombonist Douglas Yeo has a page on his website with doubling tips. In addition to bass trombone, he plays bass trumpet and serpent. Not tenor trombone.
I don't knock anyone for finding their niche. And Mr. Yeo is clearly a very accomplished musician—listen to some of his sound clips if there is any doubt. But I have to admit a few items from his doubling tips amused me as a woodwind doubler.
He says about the whether-to-double question, "The answer for many players is simply economic – if you play more than one instrument, when a contractor calls, you'll be able to say 'yes' more often." Even if you're the first-call bass trumpet player and the first-call serpent player, how many gigs per year do you think that adds up to? Presumably Mr. Yeo keeps busy with his day job at the BSO.
One would think that the best way for a bass trombonist to get more gigs would be to play the more common tenor trombone. Mr. Yeo's reason for avoiding this doubling is that it requires a mouthpiece of a different size, which he feels is destructive to his bass trombone embouchure. For tonight's woodwind doubling gig, on the other hand, I'm playing flutes of three different sizes, plus clarinet and soprano saxophone. And this is an easy one, since there aren't any double reeds or any of the larger single reeds.
All my respect to Mr. Yeo—what he does, he does very, very well. As for me, I'm off to destroy five different embouchures.
I'm primarily a trumpet player, but I've done a lot of theatre work on keys, bass and percussion, too. I dabble in woodwinds – I played baritone sax in my school big band last year (my final year) and I dabble in clarinet.
I find that due to the fact that on brass instruments you are generating the buzz entirely with your lips which is then magnified by the mouthpiece and instrument it is important to get the feel of the buzz right for each instrument. I was playing the tuba/bass part for a production of Chicago a couple of years ago, and during the day I was doing a lot of trumpet practice. The difference between the trumpet embouchure and the tuba embouchure is significant, but not impossible. It takes a bit of practice swapping between brass instruments, but it's the same with anything.
For a production of Little Shop of Horrors I ended up playing Eb Clarinet, Bass Clarinet, Tenor Sax, Trumpet, Flugelhorn, and a bit of percussion. It's perfectly doable, it just requires practising the changes.

Narathu (birman ,  ;  – ) fut le cinquième roi de Pagan, en Birmanie (République de l'Union du Myanmar), de 1168 à 1171.

Règne
Son règne, entamé par le meurtre de son père Alaungsithu et de son frère aîné Minshinsaw, fut court (1168-71) et sanglant.

Désireux de se racheter de ses crimes, Narathu fit bâtir le plus grand des temples de Pagan, le Dhammayangyi. Cette construction massive, que l'assassinat du roi laissa inachevée, fut l'objet de beaucoup de soins. Les briques étaient frottées les unes contre les autres, afin qu'aucun interstice ne fût visible, et collées par un enduit végétal de composition mal connue, mais d'une extrême solidité.

La conduite de Narathu diminua le prestige de la dynastie et le rendit très impopulaire. En 1171, il fut tué par des mercenaires envoyés par le prince de Pateikkaya, un royaume tributaire de l'Est du pays (dans l'actuel État Chin ou à proximité), désireux de venger le meurtre de sa fille. Il l'avait envoyée comme tribut à Narathu, qui en avait fait une de ses reines, mais l'avait tuée de ses propres mains dans un accès de violence.

Successeurs
Naratheinkha, qui succéda à son père, fut incapable de rétablir l'ordre dans le royaume et fut à son tour assassiné en 1173. Un de ses jeunes frères, Narapatisithu, monta alors sur le trône. Durant son règne de 37 ans (1174-1211), le royaume retrouva son calme et il put faire faire de nombreuses constructions

I am currently using Revit 2013 and 3dsMaxDesign 2013. I having linking problems as I am unable to reload the revit file as I am using different desktop and the path is different on each desktop.
Is there any way to solve this problem without the need of adding material again?
Why don't you link it to a network drive that they all load off of?
thanks for the tip, however I have no administrative rights to go into it as I am using my school desktops.
My university had a pretty decent computer lab with a network for the students/faculty to use.
Anyway this doesn't help you without admin rights.
I didn't want to depend on a server (I like to be mobile same time). So every computer has a D partition these days. I made a d:\\render\projectX\maps\ folder for every rendered project.
I installed a software that automatically sincronize bidirectional those folders in the same second I add delete something. The Revit FBX files are there too. The software works in background exactly like Dropbox. The only difference is that it is instant/offline/and only hardisk constrained in terms of space.
I use resource collector tool in 3d max to redirect all the paths of the scene materials to that folder, ones I know I had to change the PC. My maps main library is only on one PC. But with the process described above I only duplicate the "in use" scene maps.

Danny Roberts' Mural for Tiffany & Co.

A few weeks ago, we shared the awesome news that former School of Fashion student, Danny Roberts, had been commissioned to paint a mural for Tiffany & Co. – and it's now complete! Roberts was asked to decorate the NYC storefront as part of Tiffany's Soho art series, for which they have asked notable artists to stage large scale works on the outer facade as the store undergoes construction.
Roberts was charged with creating an image that portrayed the theme of love – and we love what he came up with. The 15′ x 34′ mural depicts a group of exquisitely clad ladies and gents at a very luxe party, with one couple in the midst of a kiss. The stolen moment is sweet but subtle, a perfect representation of amour.
Due to the large scale of the project and time constraints (he only had three days), Roberts began work on the painting at home. They were able to transfer the artwork to a print and install it on the storefront. Roberts then painted over the print, adding in metallic gold embroideries, subtle details, and a healthy dose of Tiffany's signature robin's egg blue. The end result is absolutely stunning – bravo Danny!

Any way you make it any smaller?
It seems there's no way for me to use this gif here, I've been trying to upload it for so long!:brickwall::lol:
I took it off.
I really wish I knew what to suggest to you, because I love that little dancing scene with Hodges. LOL, it was so random and unexpected. Heheh...I wonder what Wendy would have thought if she had seen it? I'm sure she would have thought he was weird.
Now I don't actually have a program that makes those little clips, but I'll see if I can find out for you. It would be a shame if you couldn't eventually use the banner because of a small technicality.
I wonder, if there was something going on between H&W, and Catherine caught wind, what would she actually do or say? Would she insist on the shift change, or suggest to them to keep it discrete in the work place? Considering she is now the boss, she'd probably have to follow proper lab protocol, but perhaps she'd turn a blind eye as long as they didn't let it effect their work. I mean, everyone it entitled to finding love, even the labrats. And being a woman in her position and understanding the difficulties of finding something meaningful with another person in their particular line of work, perhaps she'd go easier on them.
...So many ifs, ands, or buts.
I think the "old" Catherine, the maternal, pragmatic and "live and let live" Cath, would have "looked away" and let them get away with it...Nowadays I just don't know, she's still suffering from the Grissom heritage -who wouldn't? I don't have any idea about how she sees her role as a boss.
Anyway, are not labrats under direct control of "Conrad"? That would be waaaay worse!
BTW, I wonder how the rest of team would take their relationship....Someone with "relief" -poor Henry-, someone with disbelief, I hope Greg fans never pass hereby but I hope he would stay speechless for sometime!
If the ship is to come alive, producers and writers will make it so. Bending rules or making characters inc. Cath ignore rules until further use in another episode. And we allready know that one producer is on our side, so if the show "can see" workable episodes and storylines in the ship. They will use it. But for the moment there must be other storylines more workable and we have to wait.
I have however considered whether or not it will be a "good" thing to have the Labratepisode be a "they are" episode. You know I want to be there for the first kiss so please read this the right way. . I don´t want the Labrat episode being a "H/W" centered episode because IMO that would be forcing the non-likers to ....smash it in their faces(?) - some kind of overload. I do belive that that would be a bad thing. I rather have the kiss before the Labrat episode and then have the Labrat epi go back to "Miniuture killer" style of episode with a team focus. But what do you think?
I would rather have "the kiss" as a footnote in another epi. Someone spotting them outside work and them kissing because they thought they were alone. And a nice loving sweet kiss please.
I don't think Wally and Liz would ever write an episode just for setting themselves on the spotlight. It's not them and they don't need it, especially Wally.
They love their coworkers, especially the labrats team. In the Space Oddity commentary Wally was quite surprised -not pleased- that the ep was focused only on Simms and Hodges...
A kiss well...I wish! But I don't want to see their FIRST kiss -and sure as hell I don't want them to kiss in the lab for the first time. I'm more inclined to believe that we'll see something of their relationship when it's already begun....I really hope they don't get together in that episode, that would be too soapish and soap opera is out of character....
Audience might be annoyed? Maybe....But Grillows, Sandles and viewers indifferent to the whole GSR....How should they have taken tons of a ship they weren't interested in?
Why don't you want to see their first kiss?
Hi all and a nice day to you all.
I am curious too. Why not the first kiss? And let´s for the sake of argument say they do get together. How would we like it to "play out" on screen?
Solitaire CSI Level Two
Hello everyone! Hope all ok.
We just had the first episode of the current season. It was good to see Hodges save Wendy's life, although I was disappointed that that was all that was shown. I would have liked a scene where she thanked him, or something. But it was good to see him risk his life for hers.
Solitaire, Jan 16, 2010

Yeah, I was a little disappointed that there wasn't something a little more between the two, say perhaps a longing look at one another as they hesitated before getting up from the floor. Or a smile and a thank you from Wendy at the fact that he did risk his life...realizing that he isn't as self-centered as he once was, and actually looked out for another human being as opposed to just himself. It would have been nice to see some form of acknowledgment, but the main thing is, is that he indeed risked his life, and dove through flying bullets to protect the one he loves.
If there was ever to be a first kiss between the couple, I think it would have to be one catching the other off guard with it. Nothing to deep, and perhaps even a little sloppy or awkward. I can also see it happening in the lab, but only if the situation was right. A good example would be the scene mentioned above...with him saving her life. Or perhaps Hodges comes through in talking to Ecklie about Wendy and the whole field work bit. And when she hears what he done...for her, knowing he isn't to thrilled about the idea in general, she'd go and find him to thank him....with a kiss. Or perhaps he accidentally says something to make her mad (ie. locker room scene from 'You Kill Me'), then when he tries to correct himself, he confesses, in English and to her face, how he feels about her....resulting in a kiss.
There are so many little possibilities between these two. But one I don't want to happen is a similar scneario to that of Sara and Grissom's lab kiss. That would be the only reason to me not wanting to see a kiss. The reaction from those who'd say it was only following GSR...cause that makes me mad. Wedges being pegged as a GSR wannabe...cause it's not! H&W's relationship has been awkwardly brewing since season 7. TPTB didn't just toss it in since the other two left...and its quite apparent, with the limited screen time between our two labrats over the past couple of seasons, they aren't trying to build it up to replace the other romance. If that were the case, it would probably of have been more in the advanced stages of the relationship by now.
LOL, anyway, that is just some thoughts bouncing around in my head.
Maybe they will kiss in the LabRats episode. I just hope it will be light and fluffy episode. Everything about CSI is drama most of the time, but LabRats always was funny to watch. You can just relax and have a great time.
I just hope they coming together wouldn't be so dramatic as GSR.
The reaction from those who'd say it was only following GSR...cause that makes me mad. Wedges being pegged as a GSR wannabe...cause it's not!
Both couples work together. The male parts of the couples are socially unskilled and live for their jobs. That's all I see as a commonground between GSR and Wedges. The rest is different. GSR's turning points were based on Grissom's inhibition but above all on Sara's expectactions...She thought Grissom could help her out of her own ghosts, which is obviously impossible...She had to grow up on her own before facing their relationship again....H/W is based on accepting each other as they are...Wendy is quite firm on her feet and has no need to find her stability in a man, let alone Hodges! She chooses to give a chance -and another one and another...- to this dumb smart guy because she wants to, not because she has problems that he has to solve for her...
And there's the snarky humor bonus, of course, that's how they've gotten to know each other and how smart and alike they are...Like Wally said in a commentary, those are good basis for a healthy relationship...I think a little conflict is necessary, otherwise their storyline would risk to wither and become one of those blind spots of which tv series are full...NO WAY I want this for Wedges!
Then, there's the whole question of screen chemistry -and I'd rather avoid to say what I think of the GSR kiss- but that's pure personal taste.
DJRideout; Or a smile and a thank you from Wendy at the fact that he did risk his life...realizing [B said:
that he isn't as self-centered as he once was[/B], and actually looked out for another human being as opposed to just himself.
Super obervation and a proof of a Hodges in progess as a human and not stale.
Me too. Does Hodges know french kissing at all?
I will be back later and add more.....
I am back:lol:. That is just it. How do we see the ship go on after a kiss or a sleep - over . I for one love the banter and the competion(?)/ rivalry between them. Can writers keep that and let the ship evolve or should they go for ??????
As storylines go. Do you feel they have had a storyline of their own? Not Space Odd which was a glimpse of them in private, but not a storyline about one of the characters. Perhaps in the episode of personal storyline we could get a hug at the end. But I am still voting for a/the kiss being a footnote in another episode. I would not like some newbie or extra having a crush on Wendy and have Cath hinting at Hodges. So that would be all we got to "see" of the ship going canon?.
Please fellow Wedges remind me I shouldn't search the web for finding info about our pair...The harshness and the childishness of some comments are unbelievable....
After reading them, speaking of "canon" ship takes some optimism..
Anyway, after a sleep over well...Keep in mind I'm still convinced something's already happened but...They're both around forty, and they have both this clever and aloof demeanor...I don't think we'd see overracting, not even from Hodges...Maybe just some hinting, but neither fluff nor "oh my god we slept together!!" are their cups of tea so to speak...
Well I am not certain they are doing anything outside screen as there is so many storylines and comic relief left to use and no matter how we "like"/view our ship it is a question of "workablility" on show. And time allready spend on hinting at a ship and Space Odd. it would be odd and a waste of time to have to much of the ship off screen. The first and any sleep - over will forever be off screen or that is my bet. But a kiss would be different. There is some shocking effect left and it could bring a lighter tone to any "dark"/ moody episode. So IMO a kiss is coming. And some post-sleepover thingy but what much and for how long? That is anyones guess. And what to do after is the thing I am worried about.
Would it make sense to have a change in characters or would the ship take a back -seat to other storylines (more then now). Theese shows are NOT known for their handling of ships.
Well I am not certain they are doing anything outside screen
The "after thing" is what should worry any shipper of any ship...When two regulars get together normally two things can happen : 1. one of the two -or both- leaves 2. the couple breaks up shortly after (and one or both leave)
I'm still convinced that if Jorjia Fox hadn't expressed some plans on leaving the show the GSR would have never been realized....
The fact that Wendy and Hodges are not in the main team could help make this ship be something different from the usual infamous course of things, but it's always a risk....

"She is always the centre of the relationship, regardless of Harry's title. She wants to be in the limelight, but under her own terms.
"Now she will get to make her own rules. It's perfect for her. Meghan likes to flee when things get heavy, and observe from afar what she has done."
The source went further and said the move was part of a long-term strategy by Meghan to carve out a life that suits her.
They continued: "I'm sure she wanted to get back to her inner circle (in Canada); her new creative team who are behind these plans.

"I'm sure she convinced Harry to pick a side. For her it was never about modernising the Royal Family."
The Queen found out about the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's demands on TV after advising them not to make an official statement, insiders claim.
Harry has been left to pick up the pieces on his own as there are growing concerns the crisis may lead to the future of the monarchy itself being called into doubt.
Meanwhile Meghan remains in North America – where baby Archie was left with a nanny – for the foreseeable future, the Daily Mail reports.
She broke her silence for the first time last night with an Instagram post yesterday.
The couple posted an update on Instagram this afternoon, the first since their message to the public.
It shows them on a visit to The Hubb Community Kitchen, which was set up in the wake of the Grenfell Tower tragedy, four days ago.

Machine translated chapter 653 of Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World light novel.
Chapter 653 goes to jing Spirit Race( to ask to subscribe Next day, after Zhao Hai looks like Mermaid Race Queen said goodbye, on returned to on Haven Ship, travelled by boat toward the Continent sail upstream goes, Zhao Hai has not worried, he must wait for jing Spirit Race information in any case now, other was unimportant. So long as jing Spirit Race there has information, Zhao Hai immediately/on horseback will begin, he will not tell Rosen Empire King this matter, is his father-in-law, without means that King, if thinks that protect anything secret was really too difficult, before Radiant Church was so sight, who knew they have arranged any spy in the Rosen Empire royal palace, if they have arranged spy, that Zhao Hai tells King the recording idea that he will move, Radiant Church knows on immediately/on horseback, by that time all plans of Zhao Hai on all expose. Zhao Hai although not anxiously not slow is walking toward Continent on, but actually enters the attention of carving the situation on Continent, can his Space, through Calci Family, the Crook Family information cue, situation of Zhao Hai on regarding Continent very understand. Response of Rosen Empire in expected of Zhao Hai, although Rosen Empire recognize status of Saint Dragon King Royal Court, but similarly, they also entered combat readiness equipment, momentarily copes with Dragon Race. But the response of Aksu Empire in unexpected of Zhao Hai, wants to come in Zhao Hai, because Aksu Empire beforehand although Radiant Church and Beastman Race matter was implicated, but currently has Dragon Race join to Radiant Church , the Radiant Church strength increases, at this time, Aksu Empire should use beforehand relationship, closes up like Radiant Church is right, what makes Zhao Hai accidental is, they not, not only does not have, they immediately have even formed the union with Rosen Empire. This somewhat stemmed from the anticipation of Zhao Hai, Zhao Hai had even suspected that they possibly had any secretive secret, but observed Aksu Empire several days, Zhao Hai presently has actually made a mistake, Aksu Empire this time was the sincerity must cope with Radiant Church. Matter that previous Radiant Church handles, has caused Aksu Empire dislike, even if were present Radiant Church other four country conquer, Aksu Empire will not be cooperating with Radiant Church, not only this meaning of Acher merit Empire King Boris, was Aksu Empire all Noble, therefore meaning of commoner. Such result although stems from the anticipation of Zhao Hai, lets Zhao Hai very happy, Aksu Empire such response, regarding Zhao Hai absolutely is the good deed, the enemy of enemy is the friend, before Aksu Empire although , the matter that handles is not quite typical, so long as they cope with Radiant Church, copes with Dragon Race, then regarding Zhao Hai, they are the friend. In Zhao Hai comes out the second day after Mermaid Island there, Billy there had information finally, information only then, jing spirit Queen must see Zhao Hai.
Zhao Hai regarding such answer, is actually not very satisfied, jing Spirit Race Queen only said that must see him, but formed an alliance had not said that but Zhao Hai also has to see jing spirit Queen, this was also opportunity, opportunity that jing Spirit Race won over. Zhao Hai through Space appears in Dwarf Race mountain range, outside these Dwarf has been unalarmed by strange sights regarding Zhao Hai suddenly appears directly, some immediately people run to inform Billy. Billy also knows that Zhao Hai met immediately/on horseback to come Zhao Hai to come, after immediately/on horseback invited Zhao Hai sat down, "I to say the motion of Radiant Church to jing Spirit Race to Zhao Hai said :, jing Spirit Race there had to answer finally, please see jing spirit Queen, it seems like they were somewhat hesitant." Zhao Hai coldly snorted said : "my understand, what they in did not hesitate, now the God Race spear|gun has soon gone against to our noses was sharp, they also in hesitant, I felt strange really that a such race, how possibly does survive now?" Billy to seeking vengeance of Zhao Hai is also understood, to be honest, he to jing Spirit Race such procedure very did not understand, but Billy has not sought vengeance, but urged Zhao Hai said : "to consider as finished, jing Spirit Race too many years, did not have blood ing peacefully, their blood however Magic really had the place of alone [say / way] . Moreover the jing Spirit Race archery and Sword Technique, very stemmed from, especially did to fight in the jungle, almost the race cannot defeat jing Spirit Race in the jungle." Zhao Hai nodded, he to believes this point, if some jing Spirit Race methods, had not feared that was already grasping to regard the slave by Human Race, must know the jing spirit slave's most popular slave in Human Race, but these years, nobody in has been able to catch the jing Spirit Race slave. "Reason that Billy look at Zhao Hai said : jing Spirit Race is not willing to see you, possibly is also because you are the Dark Magician reason, jing Spirit Race does not like Dark Magician, this is on Continent knows that but you become famous by Black Magic, therefore they do not like seeing you, is understandable." The forced smile that Zhao Hai not bears, jing Spirit Race advocated the nature, respect life, but the undead summon of Dark Magician, looks like in jing Spirit Race, is to life biggest blaspheming, they can like Zhao Hai being able the strange event. Moreover tenacity that jing Spirit Race became famous, their tenacity are more famous than Dwarf Race, Dwarf Race tenacious sometimes can also be accommodating, otherwise Dwarf Race will not do business with Human Race, Billy is Juno is a good friend.
Lizzy sighs said : "also no wonder jing Spirit Race like this, jing Spirit Race is different from Mermaid Race, Mermaid Race can also change the appearance of éng person, doing business secretly on Continent, but jing Spirit Race actually cannot, in adding on jing Spirit Race, no matter male is nv, so long as appears on Continent, almost does not have, all was grasped to work as the slave, in this case, jing Spirit Race, if were having to contact that with Human Race to blame." Zhao Hai is also sighing with a heavy heart, he also knows this matter no wonder jing Spirit Race, any race must come across this matter time, may make with the jing Spirit Race same response, in the final analysis, because person including trouble that the heart causes. Rested a while in Space, Billy looked for Zhao Hai to eat meal, Zhao Hai has to come out from Space, these days Zhao Hai felt is really very tired, not only the body was tired, the heart was more tired. That night in the Dwarf Race there Zhao Hai rest to is very good, next morning, Billy will be leading Zhao Hai and ten Dwarf Race soldiers leaves toward Elven Forest. Not is near to the jing Spirit Race running regulation from Dwarf Race, moreover middle also horizontally Accra Mountain, but Dwarf Race also has own means that they after have a look at the account effort innumerably, finally made Dwarf make underground river in underground river and Accra Mountain in mountain was interlinked, they can through this river, direct traversing Accra Mountain, arrive at the Elven Forest surrounding. This was a very vast project, although they have used underground river, but underground river was not multipurpose, he was impossible to deliver to the Elven Forest surrounding you directly, Dwarf Race has also used more than 200 years of times, has made a connection with jing Spirit Race among the underground passage. For with relation convenient of jing Spirit Race, in this passage is comprised of underground river, must therefore go to jing Spirit Race to travel by boat, even if travels by boat very fast, need probably five days of can arrive at the Elven Forest surrounding. But Dwarf Race to be convenient, but also has established several rest points in the river channel, that several rest were in several mountain don mountain range Dwarf Race also kept some grain and liquor actually, used for the convenience and jing Spirit Race relation. h! ~!


I created a few plants while writing The Diary of Kaashif Sarwan. Today I spent some time sketching one of them, aďvúrun (athvurun).
Aďvúrun is a ground-cover plant like grass on earth. It is found on Fohrtiil, Qarlilian, Arshilkrin, Slyrpfyrn, Xhorgliff, and Irqulnirn.
It starts life as a tiny seed, only 3mm long and 1.5 mm wide.
About three days after lodging in soil, two small shoots break out, one that will become a root and one that will break the surface.
Another six days and it has a 4 mm coil above ground.
Six or seven days later, it unfurls.
Two weeks later, it matures, producing a flower. It will either be male or female, and produce it's flower accordingly. Once the female flower is pollinated, it will produce a small red berry containing the seed.
Wind is the primary pollinator Aďvúrun tends to grow in large groups, creating a "carpet." Sometimes the flowers may brush against each other and not need the wind. Additionally, there may be some animals similar to insects on earth that act as pollinators. I haven't created any animals yet, so this information will need updated later on.

Elon Musk sold another $1 billion in Tesla shares on Tuesday
SpaceX founder and Tesla CEO Elon Musk visits the construction site of Tesla's gigafactory in Gruenheide, near Berlin, Germany, May 17, 2021.
Michele Tantussi | Reuters
Tesla CEO Elon Musk sold about $1.05 billion in stock on Tuesday evening, according to financial filings posted this week. The sales were scheduled in September to exercise options that were set to expire in 2022.
Musk has sold a total of $9.85 billion in Tesla stock this month, including the $6.9 billion he sold the week of Nov. 10 and another $1.9 billion he sold on Nov. 15 and Nov. 16. Some of the shares were sold in part to satisfy tax obligations related to an exercise of stock options.
Musk and his trust still hold more than 169 million shares in the company.
Tesla shares fell 15.4% the week ended Nov. 12, marking the worst week for Tesla stock in 20 months after Musk began selling shares. Shares of Tesla were up about 1% on Wednesday afternoon.
Musk ran an informal Twitter poll on Nov. 6 asking his more than 60 million Twitter followers whether or not he should sell 10% of his Tesla stock. The poll ultimately ended with users telling Musk to sell.
But, Musk had already indicated earlier this year he was likely to sell "a huge block" of his options in the fourth quarter. During an appearance at the Code Conference in September, he said when his stock options expire at Tesla, his marginal tax rate would be over 50%.

Libre Space Foundation's QUBIK mission reaches orbit
October 9, 2022 by editorial
On October 1, 2022, Libre Space Foundation's QUBIK mission reached orbit. The mission was onboard Firefly Aerospace's Alpha Flight 2, which was launched successfully from the Vandenberg Space Force Base in California.
The Alpha FLTA002 was Firefly Aerospace 's second technology demonstration flight, attempting to launch multiple satellites to LEO. The flight experienced a nominal countdown and lift-off at 12:01 AM PDT-07:01 UTC and proceeded with flawless progress throughout each stage of the mission.
It hosted a number of academic, educational and scientific payloads, providing an excellent opportunity for non-profits, startups and space-related organizations to gain access to space. Libre Space Foundation was among these organizations and thanks Firefly Aerospace for this opportunity.
The QUBIK Mission Libre Space Foundation's QUBIK mission is comprised of a set of PocketQubes plus a PocketQube deployer. The entire mission was built using open-source hardware and software.
The two PocketQubes, QUBIK-3 and QUBIK-4 were tasked to perform a series of radio amateur experiments on Identifying and Tracking satellites early on, upon deployment. The deployer, PICOBUS, was the first-ever, open-source, PocketQube deployer.
The mission reached orbit successfully and data was received from it using SatNOGS, the largest, open-source network of satellite ground stations.
For Libre Space Foundation, this was their second mission to reach space. Their first successful attempt was in 2017 with UPSat, the first-ever, open-source satellite. Ever since it was founded in 2015, Libre Space Foundation has remained true to its vision "for an Open and Accessible Outer Space for all". This not-for-profit organization designs and develops open-source, space-related technologies, with all its projects being open-source and available to everyone. Libre Space Foundation maintains great collaborations with Space agencies, University Institutions, Space Organizations, Libraries, and Companies that help make space open to all humanity.

WGC Match Play Brackets Favor Kaymer
In the mid-1970s, Johnny Miller owned the Tucson Open, winning it three times in a row (1974-76) while earning the nickname "the Desert Fox.'' Now, some 30 years later, there is a new Johnny Miller in control of the Old Pueblo's PGA Tour event – the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship.
"Actually, I don't go by Johnny. It's John 'E.' Miller,'' said this year's tournament chairman for the host Conquistadores. "My middle initial really is 'E,' and I really did once upon a time meet Johnny Miller. It was kind of a funny deal, us both being Johnny Miller.''
Miller, the tournament chairman, grew up in Scottsdale and actually worked as a volunteer for the Phoenix Open, back in the days when Miller was dominating that tournament (1974-75), too. "I was a 'runner' – a kid who did whatever needed to be done – for the Thunderbirds,'' recalled the good-natured Miller. "I was in the players' lounge at the Phoenix Open and Johnny Miller just happened to walk in.
"I was watching him pretty closely, so he introduced himself. I still remember it like yesterday: He said, 'Hi, I'm Johnny Miller.' And I said, 'Hi, I'm Johnny Miller, too.' ''
Both Millers will be at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club on Dove Mountain this week for the Match Play, which tees off Wednesday with 63 of the top 64 players on the planet (No. 64 Toru Taniguchi withdrew and was replaced by No. 65 Henrik Stenson). England's Lee Westwood is the No. 1 seed, the fifth different No. 1 seed in the Match Play's 13-year history.
Even the format has been tweaked to add more excitement to the weekend, Miller pointed out. The quarterfinals will be held Saturday afternoon, which pushes the semifinals to Sunday morning with the 18-hole championship and consolation matches to be contested Sunday afternoon. In the past, the championship match had been 36 holes.
"I love the Phoenix Open but my allegiance, obviously, is with our tournament here in Tucson these days, and it's a great one,'' said Miller, who graduated from the University of Arizona 20 years ago and never returned to the Valley of the Sun.
"It's like an all-star game from every professional golf tour in the world. As most who follow the game will tell you, it doesn't get any better than this.''
Miller said the "early vibe has been a lot more exciting than the first four years we hosted the tournament. Last year we didn't have Phil and Tiger, but it was the economy that really kind of tanked us. This year, the corporate sales are way up and we are darn near sold out.''
According to Miller, it's been a tough year on other fronts, with the recent shooting tragedy leaving Tucson in a stunned state of disbelief. He was unsure whether or not there would be some type of tribute to the six victims during the event.
"If we do something it will probably be something that is very Tucson, because we tend to be a very tight group,'' he said. "The bottom line is, we're very supportive of each other; we always have been and most people know that.
"This really is a wonderful community, very different than what happened here. And, overall, people love the tournament and know where the charitable dollars go – right here in this community – so they will rally behind it.''
Besides the corporate uptick, Miller said the players are starting to embrace the event since its move from LaCosta in 2007.
"The (nearby) Marana airstrip has been expanded to handle the players' private jets, and it's less than 30 minutes from the course,'' he pointed out. "Plus, the Ritz-Carlton and the relaxing atmosphere up here in Dove Mountain is special, and they love staying up here during the week.''
There are 27holes of golf at the Ritz-Carlton with the Saguaro Nine being the front side and the Tortalita Nine serving as the back side of the championship course. At over 7,800 yards the Jack Nicklaus-designed layout has the ability to be a brute although the tournament has yet to be played from the tips in the two years its been played at The Ritz.
The real brute is the greens, which Nicklaus toned down after the first year the tournament. Ricky Fowler, the PGA Tour player of the year playing in his first Match Play, was the Conquistadores' featured guest for a recent media day when defending champ Ian Poulter was unavailable.
"Ricky got to play the course a couple of times while he was here and he definitely figured it out quickly,'' Miller reported. "He said there are certain areas of the green that you have to play to regardless where the pin is positioned.''
With greens that are superfast and running at about 13 on the Stimpmeter, just reaching the putting surface won't guarantee a par or birdie, as the entire course is built on a 45-degree slope with about 300 feet of elevation from top to bottom.
Such an extreme terrain has had its critics, but Miller said the overall input from the sponsor, Accenture, has been positive. "Overall, I think they're generally happy. At the same time, I know there have been some rumblings,'' Miller said about rumors that the Tour and sponsor had been discussing a move. "But with our weather and this great golf course and hotel, we're proud of how it's been going lately.''
The Ritz-Carlton Golf Club at Dove Mountain certainly is scenic, with literally a forest of saguaros defining the course as well as mountain backdrops in every direction. And just for a little added touch of Mother Nature, a herd of wild burros is sometimes seen roaming along the outskirts, a tall metal fence along the course's northern border keeping the small, fuzzy beasts from doing any damage.
Miller said the Conquistadores have even borrowed a little bit of the Phoenix Open – a corporate tent city — to create added excitement.
"The Walter Hagen Club (13th hole) is always jammin' and the Canyon Club (Nos. 15 and 16) is our answer to the Thunderbirds' version of the Greenskeeper,'' Miller said. "Plus, we've got a great venue in the Oasis Club (Nos. 4, 5, 6 and 7), which is always a great place of interest.''
Miller even has insider info for those visiting from the Valley: "This is my tip for people who are coming down from Phoenix: Wednesday is the best day of golf for the week, as the 64 best players in the world will all be on display in 32 matches that will be filled with exciting shots and twists of fate.''
Oh, yes, and there was one more idea the Conquistadores borrowed from the Birds. "For the first time since the Match Play came here, we're going to have a 19th hole called the "After Party,'' Miller said of an old Bashas store that has been converted to party central at the entrance of Dove Mountain Parkway.
"Yeah, it's going to be a blast. In fact, we've even brought back Duck Soup.''
AND THE WINNER IS . . . KAYMER
Brackets were unveiled Sunday for the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship, with Lee Westwood, Phil Mickelson, Tiger Woods and Martin Kaymer grabbing the top seeds in the Bobby Jones, Ben Hogan, Gary Player and Sam Snead brackets, respectively. The biggest deal there was that even though Westwood is the No. 1 overall seed, he didn't necessarily get a break with the bracket or his first-round opponent.
Westwood's luck took a twist when Japan's Toru Taniguchi, originally his first-round opponent, withdrew with an injury and was replaced by Sweden's Henrik Stenson. Yes, the same big Swede who won this tournament when it was played at the nearby Gallery in 2007.
The rest of Jones bracket doesn't exactly favor Westwood, either. It is solid from No. 2 seed Steve Stricker all the way through No. 15 seed Matteo Manassero, the 17-year-old Italian who is one of three teen-agers in the field along with Japan's Ryo Ishikawa (19) and Seung-yul Noh (19).
Mickelson also has a tough road to hoe in the Hogan bracket, with possible early-round potholes like defending champ Ian Poulter; 2010 rookie of the year Rickie Fowler; Graeme McDowell, the U.S. Open champ who arguably was the player of the year last season; and Alvaro Quiros, who recently knocked off Westwood and a star-studded marquee in Dubai.
The same could be said of Woods, the big gun in the Snead bracket who has the unenviable task of taking on Thomas Bjorn, a recent winner in Qatar, in the first round. There are other great risks for the three-time Match Play champ, like two-winner Geoff Ogilvy; big-hitting Dustin Johnson, who seems tailor-made for the Ritz; another bomber in Bubba Watson; and the only double winner in 2011, Mark Wilson. And that's just the TOP HALF of the bracket!
Which means your winner, at least among the favored top seeds, might very well be Martin Kaymer, the Paradise Valley resident via Germany. Kaymer gets the untested Noh in the first round of the Player bracket, which also has a bunch of unheralded opponents like the Japanese tandem of Hiroyuki Fujita and Yuta Ikeda. That, and the fact that Jim Furyk, Adam Scott and Sean O'Hair have been shadows of themselves lately, bodes well for Kaymer.
If you're looking for a long shot(s), Hunter Mahan has the kind of streaky game that match play seems to favor, and Paul Casey, the English lad who lives in Scottsdale, also seems to flourish in the mano y mano format.


The virtual battleground provides the means for fine-tuning robot functions and detecting errors right at the design or pilot stage.
A sole virtual battlefield that provides the means for testing robots and drones has been developed for the Russian Army, Kronstadt Group CEO, Armen Isaakyan, told TASS in an interview.
"We have developed a new version of the Combat virtual trainer that now includes drones and robots and is more flexible and able to integrate with other developers' synthetic trainers," he said.
The virtual battlefield includes the Combat virtual trainer and a tool for integrating other trainers with the virtual models of any objects. The Kronstadt Group is now working on 3D visualization and a virtual map for the trainer.
"Combining mathematical models with the visual display system in a sole virtual 3D space with a realistic environment makes it possible to model and optimize the operation of joint force groups, including manpower and any equipment such as helicopters, tanks, armored personnel carriers, drones, and robots," Isaakyan explained.
"This, no doubt, cannot fully replace field testing, but is very important for developing new technologies and products," he stressed. Any vehicles - land, sea and air - can be integrated into the virtual battlefield. It can be effectively used for a joint force group, for instance, a brigade.

COVID-19 cases on the rise ahead of the holiday season
Team coverage of the COVID-19 situation in Oklahoma continues as the holiday season progresses.
Doctors say they are already seeing a rise in COVID-19 cases before the holidays.
Oklahoma's new seven-day average is 831 new cases per day. That's a jump of nearly 300 cases per day from two weeks ago, when the average was 561.
Hospital admissions are also showing a slight increase. Because of this, some doctors are concerned that an increase is imminent in the coming months, especially during the holiday season.
To help prevent the spread of COVID during the holiday season, experts recommend taking a booster shot if possible. It is now available to all adults. Also get tested for the virus if you don't feel well.

Update: I'm back, playing and processing comments.
What is the biggest competitor of Coca-Cola?
This question is often asked by the teacher of the first or second economics class. The ignorant students instantly answer "Pepsi Cola". However the correct answer is "water from the tap". They all on the same market: drinking something non-alcoholic against being thirsty.
Since the average WoW player usually has less economic knowledge than a first semester economics student, this error is widespread among AH sellers.
"Who is your biggest competitor on the glyph/gem/belt buckle/whatever market?" No, not the guy who camps the AH and undercuts you by a copper. No, not the other one who undercuts you by 10% every 48 hours. Your biggest competitor is the buyer's guildmate who crafts for free. And here "free" does not mean "I farmed for free", it means that the buyer does not have to pay anything, not even time to transform his materials to products. The "freindly helpfull" guildmate waits for him, leveled his profession and now crafts for free.
The only inconvenience the buyer have to accept for this trade is that the guildmate is not always online. The M&S usually want things now, and can't wait. But if you give him a good reason, like 100G difference between material and crafted prices, he'll wait. Strike that, if the materials are farmable (mostly are), he will calculate between crafted price and zero, as the materials are obviously free, since "i can farm them lol".
Since WoW have long broken the tradition of rare drop recipes, you can't offer anything that the guildmate cannot, besides immediacy. If he presses the buyout button, he get the item instantly. It is a huge thing for an M&S. But not everyone are M&S and not every M&S have thousands of gold. Actually by definition the M&S has little gold, as does impulse buys, have no stable income and farms when broken.
So despite all speculations, no items have inelastic demand curve. Just because you are the only AH-seller for 100G profit, you won't sell to every potential buyer. Sometimes the few sells you make give you enough gold. Sometimes not. It's your choice. However never think that you beat the competition because you listed below the guys in the AH. There is always an unseen, trivial competitor!
Overall I agree with your post. However, I also believe that most of the people who craft for free and try to get friends to craft for free have little idea of the cost of their product (in mats) so even if you offer something for only a 10G markup it doesn't mean you will get all the people who's friends craft for free.
People just need to be intelligent about their pricing strategy. IE, sell high and recognize you won't have quite the volume or sell low and try to sell enough extra units to offset the decrease in sales prices. Also, recognize the different people have different opinions on what the optimal pricing strategy is and that's where moving prices and competition is going to come from.
That's why we love agi 15/25 and crusader!
The recipes are not available to every enchanter with the immediate payment of X shards, mats are "hard" to find cause few ppl farm them anymore(old content), so M&S rarely find "helpful gmates" making them, so instead they are buying the scrolls for the "elusive" price of 120-180g, depending the market's current state of prices.
In some cases M&S find my 140g +15agi "cheap" cause the elemental air goes for 25g median price!Little the know the elemental airs they're seeing are mine also and overpriced in purpose.
In the other hand, sapphire spellthreads seems to have huge profit(60-110g profit in my realm) but they are not getting sold(in quantities i mean) just because most players get them crafted by a friend.
The perfect example of a non-worth market due to the huge "trivial" competition.
Except that time i pushed it down to 110-120g a piece and the "curve of demand",which you had so many times told about, was proved so f*cking right.
Do they still use the water question in class? I can't recall the last time I saw someone drinking tap water And CocaCola and Pepsi already had large water businesses before Coke spent $4billion on Glaceau I think it was. Certainly there is a lot more advertising for bottled water than tap water.
When I sell I noticed that the buyout is the key to selling, for me at least. Most people want what they want and they want it now. Not in 18 hours if they win the auction. So if someone is selling something for 18 gold with no buy out and you list for 19 gold buy out, heck even as much as 25 gold buy out, it will sell almost instantly while the other guys item will go unsold.
When buying on the market it is the same discipline that is needed in reverse. Someone is selling stacks of any cloth for 2 gold starting and no buy out and stacks are 20 gold buy out. I bid on all the 2 gold stacks and hope I win, if I am around and outbid I will go back and bid again. Usually, unless you get someone else camping them to buy them you will end up paying half of what you can turn around and sell them for.
If you're paying me then I'm in dalaran immediately doing your craft. If you're a guildie and you want it done free send me the mats or come find me and I'll do them when I'm ready to.
I paid the Primordial Saronites (For LW patterns) mainly for the guild. Had I sold them all at the time I'd have made 12k+ gold due to the price at the time. My current trade price for an icc item craft is 100g and i tend to get a lot of return customers, some of whom also come to me for drums. It still takes me 120 sales to recoup my investment. I'd say I've done maybe 5-7 a week since ICC came out. Had I been more "on it" then I could have exploited the market first week and spammed trade with advertising.
One of my guild mates is at gold cap through crafting. Pretty much he got every JC recipe in the game when it was released and has maintained his position as the "guy who can cut anything" and as such a minor server celebrity.

How long have you been shoeing?
Dixie's Farrier Service was started in September of 2008. I began pursuing shoeing late in 2006.
There are several reasons for fitting shoes hot. First, it gives us a more exact fit than cold shoeing. In addition, hot fitting will kill the bacteria and fungi that are on the bottom of the horse's foot, as well as seal the horn tubules which is extremely important in wet climates like Indiana. Clips should also be fit hot as it is difficult to get a good clip fit cold. There are also benefits to hot fitting from a farrier's perspective, shaping shoes hot is easier on our hands and arms and quieter than cold shoeing, thus saving our hearing.
There are many good machine made shoes on the market now and I do use some of them; however, there are several benefits to using or being able to use handmades. We can build a shoe that is the best for the individual horse instead of compromising or relying on a manufacturer to make what the individual horse needs. In addition by keeping a small inventory of shoes and making the rest, I am able to keep inventory in the trailer to a minimum while still being able to have the shoe that is right for each horse, this means that overhead costs are kept low and we are able to pass that savings on to the costumer.
The idea right now is to continue working as a farrier until I retire. We will see what God has in store for me as He has changed my plans many times before, but the goal is for Dixie's to become a multi-farrier practice and to still be operating even after I retire.
Each horse should be evaluated by the farrier to determine the best schedule for that horse but in general I have found that anything beyond 6 weeks you start to just attempt to do damage control. 5 weeks seems to be about right for most horses. Check out our previous post on scheduling here.
What is your favorite kind of horse to shoe?
The ones that stand still. No really, I enjoy working with most breeds and disciplines, I started this company with the idea that every horse, no matter if it is a top competitor at the Kentucky 3 day or a backyard companion, needs and deserves the same quality care. With that said, I especially love the challenge of eventers and jumpers. Keeping their feet together while under hard work combined with having to shoe to meet the needs of various arena footings and events can be difficult but rewarding.
Not typically. If I have a horse that pulls and tugs a lot or if I try to do too much in one day then yes, my body, including my back, will be pretty tired and sore but generally I don't have any trouble. For me it is more my wrists and hands that have a harder time. Check out the earlier post on staying comfortable here.


Mom! Please, not in front of the other kids!
No, you are not old enough to shave.
It's going to be tough to keep you away from the "neck-romancers".
A little bit more to the left, please. Ahhh that feels sooo good!
Why do you smell like you were playing with the monkeys?
Soon enough, you, too, will be able to reach those tall, tall branches, just like the teenager giraffes, I assure you. For now, though, honey, enjoy being a little kid.
Keep your chin up, sweetheart. It'll be okay.

Make a baby sling wrap out of stretch cotton or jersey knit for a fraction of the price of a purchased one. Stretch cotton jersey (like tee-shirt material) is a great material for wrapping a newborn. I personally only like stretch jersey for carrying babies up to about 15 pounds so there is no way I'll pay full price for a cotton knit wrap when I'll only use it during the first few months. (after that I use sturdier cotton woven wraps like storchenwiege, didymos or other brands) Time to hit the fabric store!
I found this purple stretch cotton jersey in the clearance section of my local fabric store for just $3.00 a yard. I purchased 4 yards so total spent is just $12 for a wrap, plus I have extra fabric or an entire extra wrap!
Length Options: Most women can do all carries with between 4 and 5 yards depending on their size. I know from experience that 4 yards is just enough length for me but when in doubt buy extra! If you find you purchased too much you can easily chop off the additional and use the fabric to make baby clothes or sew cloth baby toys or even make a skirt for yourself.
Width Options: Above is the full width of my fabric with a purchased wrap on top of it so you can see the difference in width. The purchased wrap shown is 25" wide, roughly half the width of the fabric I purchased. Most wraps are between 25-30" wide. Most fabric off the bolt is 40" and wider. The width you cut your fabric is entirely up to you, but no smaller than 20" is standard. I prefer about 25" for stretchy cotton wraps with newborns. Wider is better for back carries but if you do not plan to carry your newborn on your back then you will be fine around 25". For back carries I prefer at least 30" width but I do not find back carries comfortable with cotton stretch wraps.
How to: To make a baby sling wrap out of cotton jersey is so easy you don't even need to sew anything! The fabric I purchased when cut did not fray and was just fine as is, it even rolled up at the edges a bit and hid the unfinished edge. I didn't taper the ends so there was nothing to sew. I cut the fabric in half so the width was about 25" and then I had a wrap. Actually, I had two wraps since I was simply cutting it down the center.
This extra one you can give to a friend, make something else with it or it is very handy to have a back up during those early weeks when there is a lot of spit up and poop explosions all over your wrap. When you make a baby sling you might as well make two! Toss one in the wash and use your identical backup! When your child gets too heavy and you've moved onto a more supportive wrap (or different carriers) you can use the wrap as fabric. Check out our free baby clothing patterns for some project ideas to use up your fabric leftovers.
The baby (um, actually he is a toddler now but I don't like to admit that) pictured above is simply to darn heavy to comfortably wear in a stretchy wrap but I needed a model. My original cotton baby wrap that I made with my first newborn has long been passed onto a friend. One half of this new purple one was given to yet another friend and the other half used for sewing projects!

Etymologia nazwy
Pochodzenie nazwy Chłop nie jest znane, lecz jezioro ma drugą nieformalną nazwę - Bliźniak. Wywodzi się ona najprawdopodobniej od tego, jakoby jezioro miało tworzyć dwa zbiorniki, połączone ze sobą wąskim przesmykiem.

Opis

Położenie

Oprócz tego nieopodal jeziora znajdują się miejscowości takie jak: Przywodzie, które jest częścią Osetnej, Otanów i Sicienko, które jest częścią Derczewa. Południowym, zachodnim i północnym brzegiem jeziora przebiega granica gminy Lipiany, a co za tym idzie, powiatu pyrzyckiego. W bezpośrednim sąsiedztwie zbiornika znajdują się również jeziora: Grochacz, Mironowskie, Będzin, Celno i Derczewskie.
