if it's the internet, it must be about cats

Everyone knows that cats secretly invented the intertubes (Al Gore notwithstanding) to convince the world of their cuteness. What they're really plotting has yet to be revealed, but we at Brandflakes would like it be known that we, for one, welcome our new feline overlords… In the meantime, it appears they're making inroads into our classic artworks. In this series of abominations from artist Svetlana Petrova, grossly obese tabby Zarathustra defiles forever some of the world's beloved masterworks, once again convincing us that Photoshop is an evil tool.

Getting Off the Beaten Path in Europe

24th Aug 2015
Getting Off the Beaten Path in Europe

Whether you are hoping to enjoy Europe as a native or a visitor, this massive continent has a lot that you likely have not seen. Even for lifelong citizens of Europe, our lives tend to follow predictable paths, ones that wear into our experience like a stream of water into a rock. It’s not a bad thing. But that’s why it’s special to change things up, too see a different side of life. But standard tourist packages take vacationers to the same old places. This way, vacation doesn’t become so much a new experience as an expensive one. For people longing for a new way to see Europe, there are a few ways that are sure to work, and are sure to help you avoid the standard issue vacation experience of the masses.

1) River Cruises. Embarking on European river cruises may be the most exciting way to experience Europe, one that is sure to show you a different side of its beautiful lands. Europe’s rivers wind through its most historically important locations. For thousands of years, Europe’s ancient and pre-modern people set up their civilizations alongside these waterways. Your European river cruise will take you past castles, ruins, historical forests and mountains, and through some of Europe’s oldest and grandest cities. Even if you’ve been to some of these places on foot, wheel, or rail, you surely haven’t seen them by water. Weave your way through Europe at a leisurely pace, with a European river cruise.

2) Bicycle Tours. One of the most affordable ways to navigate Europe is by bicycle. Using European bicycle guides, you’ll be able to chart for yourself a perfect course, one that fits your interests and skill level. Some will want to bike for long distances, camping along the ways. Others will want a more modest travel goal, biking by day and retiring in dedicated lodging spaces. Some people will want to stay to the countryside, while others will enjoy navigating through Europe’s many bike-friendly cities. One of the biggest costs of Europe is travel. By bike, you reduce that cost to near Zero.

3) Couch Surfing. The Couch Surfer’s Network is an amazing way to see Europe, or whatever continent you happen to be traveling in. Couch Surfers are friendly, interesting people, who offer a free place to stay to other people in the network. Long-time couch surfers have reputations and references built into the site, so you’ll know who you are staying with. Many couch surfer users find that staying with a local clues them into local attractions and points of interest much more than they would be able to find on their own.

Europe is large and diverse, and those who travel within it are equally unique. With so many people hoping to have a singular experience in Europe, there are many strategies to fit different types. But one or all of these can be relevant to just about any European traveler, from the foreigner experiencing it for the first time, to the long time resident hoping for a new perspective.

IATA: Reject French air tax proposal

28th Feb 2006

IATA is urging governments to reject French President Chirac’s proposal for a global tax on aviation to fund development. “Airlines make a massive contribution to development by bringing tourists to destinations and transporting goods to markets. Making air transport more expensive is akin to biting the very hand that feeds development,” said Giovanni Bisignani, International Air Transport Association’s (IATA) Director General and CEO.

Bisignani was responding to President Chirac’s speech at the opening session of the Ministerial Conference on Innovative Taxation to Fund Development.  The French Government is hosting the conference in Paris from 28 February to 1st March.

“Even those countries that this initiative is supposed to help are opposed to the tax.  The African Union urged its member states to oppose the imposition of taxes that would add to the cost of air transport and that would drain away the income of the sector towards other activities.  They rightly recognise aviation’s contribution to their economies,” said Bisignani.

In Africa, the role of air transport is especially important given the absence of effective ground transport networks. Air transport generates 470,000 jobs in Africa and contributes US$ 11.3 billion to African GDP. Africa enjoyed a 9.9% growth in passenger traffic in 2005 (against a global average of just 7.6%).

“UN Secretary General Kofi Anan’s support for the tax is particularly short-sighted and disappointing. First, it ignores the policies of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO)—a UN agency—that seeks to eliminate taxes on the sale of air transport. More fundamentally, the tax proposal is at cross-purposes with the UN’s Millennium Development Goals. Imposing further taxes on air transport limits the industry’s ability to drive development. It’s time to replace misguided politicking with some clear thinking. We need real solutions to very pressing issues. France could fund development with EUR 3 billion each year—twelve times the intended tax revenue—simply by re-allocating a quarter of its rail subsidies,” said Bisignani.

oneworld members expand network

21st Mar 2006

For the oneworld alliance it is a busy period—AA, Finnair, Qantas and Iberia are all expanding their air networks, there is also a new member.Dallas Love Field joins oneworld network with launch of American services:

Dallas Love Field is now part of the oneworld network, with the launch by American Airlines and its American Eagle regional affiliate of 16 flights a day from there to four destinations.

The mainline carrier is now operating from the airport- which has the three-letter IATA code DAL - four times a day to St Louis and three times daily to Kansas City, using Boeing MD80s. American Eagle is serving Austin five times a day and San Antonio four times, using Embraer 145s.

American Eagle flies two more New York routes and another to Bahamas:

oneworld affiliate American Eagle is to open service on 3 April between New York LaGuardia and Pittsburgh with four flights and between JFK and Baltimore Washington with daily round trips, all by Embraer 135 regional jets. Its new Bahamas link provides the islands with their second route to and from Chicago O’Hare. Besides its established Nassau service, the airline will now also operate weekend flights to and from Freeport from 6 May throughout the summer season, using Canadair CRJ-700 jets.

BA Connect links London City with Milan and opens two Birmingham routes:

British Airways’ newly-rebranded regional affiliate BA Connect, which is part of oneworld, is to launch flights from London City to Milan Malpensa from 2 May and increase frequencies from the London airport to Edinburgh from five to seven a day. From Birmingham (UK) it is to launch daily flights to both Berlin and Geneva from 26 March.

Finnair to serve Hong Kong non-stop and polish up its Polish schedules:

Finnair is improving its schedules between its Helsinki home base and the Hong Kong hub of oneworld partner Cathay Pacific to offer non-stop services during the summer peak, rather than flying via Bangkok, cutting four hours from the journey.

The non-stops will operate three times a week between May and July, building to five a week between July and October.

It will also add two weekly frequencies to Shanghai, giving a daily service, increase Ghangzhou services to four a week and Osaka to six a week.

In Europe, oneworld’s Nordic partner is doubling its flights to Poland, with the launch of twice weekly flights to Krakow from 13 April and adding five weekly frequencies between its Helsinki hub and Warsaw from 26 March.

Iberia raises Jo’burg frequencies to daily:

Iberia has increased frequencies between its Madrid hub and Johannesburg by two flights a week, giving a daily service. At Madrid, it and all oneworld partners are now operating from the airport’s EUR 6 billion, world-class new Terminal 4.

Qantas ups Brisbane-Auckland frequencies:

Qantas is increasing frequencies between Brisbane and Auckland by three a week, giving a total of ten, from 29 March, all flown by two-class Boeing 737-300s.

XeroBank Torpark Browser: xB Browser Review

written by: Steve Mallard•edited by: Bill Bunter•updated: 5/7/2010

Surf the internet anonymously and keep your privacy intact with xB Browser. This browser offers the ability to keep your privacy intact without downloading any cache or cookies. With data breaches on the rise and information being intercepted, internet users will need to protect their web surfing.

  • slide 1 of 8

    XeroBank offers services that help protect your privacy and to protect your identity. Unlike Internet Explorer and other web browsers, the XeroBank (xB) Browser - which was formerly known as Torpark - does not use a cache or store cookies, meaning that you do not need to run a cleaner to cover your tracks.

  • slide 2 of 8

    Rating Average

    The XeroBank webbrowser offers setup options that are fairly easy to understand. With options similar to any setup, there are slight changes and customizations that must be selected. XeroBank offers a client setup for users wishing to pay a subscription to XeroBank or a Tor option for the free version.

    The installation process offers a proxy server setup option if your computer is traveling through a proxy server to get to the internet. This option is available while setting up the application or this option can be configured after the installation with the xB Config Option.

  • slide 3 of 8

    Introduction to the Tor and XeroBank Anonymous Proxy Servers

    XeroBank can use the Tor network or connect through XeroBank for extra protection. What is the Tor network? The Tor network provides internet privacy among computers on the internet. How does Tor work? Tor allows users to navigate the web by using a circuitous route by using 1000s of servers that are geographically located all over the globe. Because of this distributed networking, your packets travel 'mixed up', taking different routes to get to their destination. Tor keeps your privacy by distributing these packets across these servers thus obscuring where you are going and what you are doing on the internet.

    Installation Images

  • slide 5 of 8

    Features and Performance

    Rating Average

    Although the xB browser looks and feels to be just like any other web browser, several behind the scenes processes are taking place. XeroBank offers anonymous proxy servers that are encrypted and distributed worldwide. XeroBank's browser uses a hopping technique that pushes your internet request across multiple servers keeping your surfing invisible to malicious people. XeroBank's connection creates a 2048-bit authentication method and 256-bit AES encryption.

    When you surf the internet, your computer gathers various information (pictures and files) and cookies which can be used to track your surfing history. Cookies and information left behind on your hard drive leave tracks behind on your computer thus compromising your privacy. With xB Browser, there are advanced features that check blacklist and certificate vulnerability detection for SSL, MD5, RSA certificate information (See pictures below), With SSL information being vital to online shopping and banking transactions, it is of the utmost importance that you are protected at all times. While the free version of XeroBank connects you to the Tor network, XeroBank offers an option that will greatly increase the performance and speed for a small fee. The Tor network is considered one of the most secure ways to surf the internet today. The XeroBank options provide the 2048-bit authentication and 256-bit AES encryption as stated in the first paragraph of this section. By connecting to XeroBank's servers, these servers insure the highest protection available.

  • slide 6 of 8

    Feature Images

  • slide 7 of 8

    Value and Price

    Rating Average

    There are hundreds of ways to intercept packets of data that go from point A to point B. With a distributed network such as Tor or with dedicated servers, interception becomes next to impossible. Xerobank offers many more products to protect you personally or to protect your business including email. While the xB browser is free and can be used with the Tor Anonymity Network at no cost, you'll have to pay if you want to use it with the XeroBank Anonymity Network. At $35.00 monthly and the first month's fee of only $1.00, you have to weigh how much your identity and privacy is worth. The price may seem a little high but the benefits outweigh the risks today. Anyone using the internet will have to begin looking at this type of protection as they would car or home owner's insurance. In today's world, you simply cannot afford to go unprotected.

Green Roofing: Innovative Green Roofing Systems

written by: knsinger•edited by: Donna Cosmato•updated: 7/6/2011

A “green roof" is a roof partially or wholly covered in vegetation, to reduce heating and cooling costs, harvest rainwater, and improve air quality. As so-called “green construction" becomes more popular, look for an increase in green roofing systems.

  • slide 1 of 4

    How Green Roofing Works

    Almost everyone knows that summer in the city is hotter than summer in the country. This is because of the phenomenon known as the “urban heat island effect": urban areas are significantly warmer than non-urban areas, due to the lack of shade trees and rapid evaporation of water. In a wooded, green area, the trees and vegetation absorb sunlight and provide shade, but in urban areas, all that metal and glass reflects the sunlight, and water rapidly runs off the roofs’ hard surfaces, leading to the flooding of streets during hard rainstorms and the loss of much usable water. Additionally, all that asphalt, concrete, and metal leaves very little room for green vegetation that filters out CO2 and other pollutants from the air.

    Green roofs help to change all that. Adding plant life to part or all of a roof creates natural sound and heat insulation, prevents water run-off, and improves air quality. Green rooftops also help roofs last longer by adding a layer of protection between the rooftop and the wear-and-tear of the sun, wind, and rain.

    Innovative Green Roofing Systems

    In 2003, two Duke University engineering seniors had an idea: build an energy-efficient, green “smart home" for students to both live in and use as a lab to experiment with green technology. After years of fundraising, including partnering with Home Depot and gaining support from the University, the Home Depot Smart Home opened near Duke’s campus in November 2007.

    The epitome of green construction, Duke’s Smart Home gained a platinum rating from LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design). Amongst the Smart Home’s many green features is its innovative green roofing system. Located in the sunny, drought-ridden southeast, the building team specifically chose drought-resistant plants to put on its green roof. Southerners know how hot the south can get, but the green roof reduces the urban heat island effect. The green roof naturally keeps the Smart Home cooler and aids in the harvesting of rainwater which is reused later.

    Meanwhile, on the other side of the continent from Duke’s home in North Carolina, Vancouver in British Columbia, Canada, is also experimenting with green roofing systems. The Vancouver Convention Center’s huge roof – 2.5 hectare’s worth – is currently the largest green roof in North America. Planted with over 350,000 plants native to the area, the builders hope that heat gains will be reduced by as much as 95% during summer months, and will reduce heat losses by 26% in winter months (“Green Roof Growing Atop Convention Centre"). Considering the size of a convention center, this will translate into major savings in heating and cooling.

  • slide 4 of 4

    The Future of Green Roofing

    Green roofing systems are not a new technology – popular in Europe for centuries and revitalized by Germany in the 1970s, green roofs have a long history. But with concerns over the long-term sustainability of the environment, the green construction movement, and programs like LEED, green roofing might finally become a common feature in cities in the US. In Chicago, city hall already sports a 20,000 square-foot green roof, which has saved the city $25,000 in heating and cooling costs during its first six years. And in Los Angeles, which costs $100 million per year to cool, former Mayor Richard Daley helped turn 2.5 million square feet of roofs green (Colwell).

    The future of green roofing seems bright. While green roofing systems haven’t caught on entirely yet (making a residential roof green, for example, is still very pricey), projects like those in Chicago, Los Angeles, and Vancouver, as well as an increasing number of university projects like the one at Duke University, demonstrate tangible financial incentives for change. And in a capitalistic society, where there are tangible financial incentives, change will inevitably come.

Legacy by Cayla Kluver - Book Review

"Duty is important. But at some point the choice you will face is whether to carry out your duties or live your life." - Legacy by Cayla Kluver

When asked what she wants to be when she grows up, my preschool daughter always replies, "A princess." That's probably not very likely to happen, but maybe someday she'll grow up to write about princesses like Cayla Kluver. At the age of 16, Kluver has already achieved her dream to become a published author. AmazonEncore, a new program developed to bring attention to emerging authors, recently released her debut book called Legacy.

Like all exceptional fantasies involving princesses, Kluver's story begins with a tragedy. In this case, the tragedy involves stolen babies and two fictional warring kingdoms, Hytanica and Cokyri. Princess Alera grows up in the kingdom of Hytanica during a time of peace following an awful war. Although she knows of the tragedy, like most in her kingdom, she does not fully understand the whole situation. At the young age of seventeen she also finds herself in a perplexing situation. As heir to the throne, she is expected to marry once she turns eighteen. Her father wishes for her to marry the egotistical Steldor, but Princess Alera is a headstrong and opinionated young women. She struggles with the decision, not knowing whether to fulfill her duty to her kingdom or to follow her heart. She becomes even more confused when a young, handsome and mysterious stranger from Cokyri named Narian enters her kingdom and disrupts their peaceful existence. Legacy is the first book in a trilogy.

How truly refreshing to discover a book with well-written teen characters depicted through the eyes of a teen author! Through the use of appropriate mannerisms and expressions, Kluver created endearing characters with just the right sense of naïveté. Although the descriptive passages sometimes seem overdone and forced, the interesting, flowery dialogue between the characters drives the romantic and suspenseful story and leaves readers wanting to know exactly how the fairy tale ends. I can hardly wait to read the next book in the series; the cliffhanger ending is brutal. I love that while this book is classified as fantasy, it is not of the high fantasy genre containing mythological creatures, but borders more on the historical romance genre. During my teen years I tended to gravitate toward romantic suspense novelists like Eleanor Hibbert (a.k.a. Victoria Holt/Jean Plaidy). I know for a fact I would have enjoyed escaping in the story of Legacy then, just as much as I enjoyed reading it now, as an adult. In case you were wondering, Kluver innocently portrays romantic scenes with pure passion (no x-rated material). There's also a notable twist in this princess story--in the progressive kingdom of Cokyri, women rule and are highly regarded and treated with respect.

In an interview with The Blogger Girlz, Kayla remarks, "the realization that young people can accomplish things kind of pushed me to a place where I had the motivation to finish a novel." Amazingly, Kluver wrote Legacy when she was only 14 years old. I'm intrigued by this young Wisconsin author, look forward to her next novels and hope that her success encourages other youth to pursue writing careers.

ibeeeg said...

Guilty as charged.
I read this review in my reader and did not comment.

I will say, the inspiring thing about this book is that is written by a teenage girl. I have a 14 year old daughter who writes well...she tinkers around with her own stories.
This story sounds wonderful. I also really do like the cover.
I am going to head over to the giveaway and enter. If I do not win, I will purchase this book as I like the idea to help a young author besides, I think it will be cool for my girls to read a book written by someone close to their ages.

JamericanSpice said...

I too am guilty.

This looks like a good book to read or at least have for my children as they grow up. I like that women are placed in high regard in the book.

Alyce said...

Wow, I am completely and totally impressed that she wrote the book when she was 14. I'll be curious to see what she writes in the future. I love princess stories, and I prefer fantasy that doesn't get too heavily into mythological creatures, so this sounds right up my alley.

Mariah said...

I have heard lots of good things about this book so I am glad you liked it. It is also really exciting that she wrote it when she was 14.

Limerick said...

This girl is definitely my hero. An author at 16?!! That is definitely awesome! I can't even create a proper story-and she has a trilogy planned out! Cayla is so cool! :)

gahome2mom said...

Wow! This story does sound interesting and exciting. Thanks for the great review and giveaway.

BevE said...

I am guilty as well, there are so many blogs and I would love to visit more of them actually reading all the posts but most often I just skim through and then move on. Did you see the Times article 6/22/09 about Amazon and what they did for Carla? I even photocopied it - interesting stuff.

cherdon said...

Hard to believe that this book was written by a girl so young. This book shows just how much potential she has and I for one cant wait to read it. I will enter your giveaway in hopes of winning. Thanks for your insightful review.

Pam said...

I have two teens, a boy and a girl, and they both love fantasy books. This sounds like a wonderful read for teens. I'm sorry no one responded to your review. I'm sure that DOES suck. Thanks so much! pamelashockley(AT)netscape(DOT)net

Tif said...

I just reviewed this book too!! (And, I added a little link to this review as well!) I hated the cliffhanger ending!! When am I going to know what happens next?!?! :)

Gravesend's Town Pier
A large town on the bank of the River Thames. It was at Gravesend that the native American princess Pocahontas died on her way back to America in 1617. She was buried at the parish church of St George in Gravesend. The exact location of her grave is unknown, but a statue to her stands in the churchyard.

St George's Church

This attractive Georgian church stands at the foot of High Street. The origins of the church go back to 1478 when Edward IV granted a license for a chapel of ease for St Mary's at Heacham. St Mary's burned down in 1508 and was rebuilt, becoming the parish church in 1544. The 15th century building burned down again in 1727 and a completely new church in Georgian style was erected in 1731 as part of the 'Commission for Building Fifty New Churches' scheme.

The town was mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086 when it was in the hands of Bishop Odo of Bayeux, half-brother of William the Conqueror. The town grew up near the route of the old Roman road of Watling Street, linking London to the coast of south eastern Kent.

Gravesend was granted a market charter in 1268, and the market is still held today, which must make it one of the oldest in England. The town was incorporated in the same year, when the first mayor was elected, though curiously Gravesend did not gain a town hall until 1573. The Elizabethan town hall, much altered, survives as the Magistrates Court and as a venue for both public and private events.

Almost as important as the grant of a town charter was the Royal Charter of 1401 which allowed townsfolk to operate ferries to and from London. The ferry service became known as the Long Ferry, and was extremely popular as it avoided the perils of travel by road.

The Gravesend Local History Society manages a museum in the remains of the 17th century New Tavern Fort on the riverside. The fort was remodelled by Major-General Charles Gordon (Gordon of Khartoum) from 1865.

The Two Piers

Gravesend boasts not one but two historic piers. The oldest ois Town Pier, built in 1834 and the oldest example of a cast iron pier anywhere in the world. A restaurant and bar occupy the pier. The Royal Terrace Pier was erected just a decade later, in 1844. The 'Royal' part of the name was added after Princess Alexandra of Denmark landed at Gravesend on her voyage to marry Prince Edward (later Edward VII) in 1865.

The Clock Tower

Perhaps the most iconic building in Gravesend is the Clock Tower on Harmer Street. The tower was begun in 1887 to mark the golden anniversary of Queen Victoria's coronation. The cost was an estimated £700, which was raised by public subscription. The design emulates the Clock Tower of the Palace of Westminster in London.

Milton Chantry

The oldest building in Gravesend is the Milton Chantry, a chapel built by the powerful nobleman Aymer de Valence in 1322. After the Dissolution of the Monasteries put an end to chantries the chapel was sold by the crown and became a house, a tavern, and then a barracks for soldiers. It is now a heritage centre with displays on the history of Gravesend. The highlight of a visit is the superb 14th century timber roof.

G'day Melbourne.

So after months of waiting and anticipation, off we went to the other side of the world. We don't normally plan trips this far ahead of time but the hubs managed to score first class tickets using our frequent flyer miles so we had to set it all up way in advance. And yes, it was awesome.

Australia (1 of 308)

Just about 24 hours later, we arrived bleary eyed and confused about what day it was in Melbourne. In an effort to stay awake that first night (to fight the jet lag) we booked an afternoon/evening tour to see some of the wildlife just outside of the city. First stop was a farm where we got a chance to feed kangaroos and wombats. I wasn't sure what to expect but both are adorable and we had a great time.

Australia (23 of 308)Australia (22 of 308)Australia (28 of 308)

Just as the rain started we stopped at a Koala sanctuary. Did you know Koalas don't like the rain? Well they don't. So they weren't hamming it up for us but they were still adorable.
Australia (30 of 308)
See, look how miserable he looks.

Next was the top billing of the tour, seeing the little penguins storm the beach on their way home from fishing each evening. Its quite cute but I'm not sure if was the fact that I weren't allowed to take photographs (downgrade!) or it was drizzling or I was just too tired to appreciate it but it was a bit of a let down. The penguins are adorable for sure but it was just too much of a commercial circus for me. We did manage to stay awake until a decent hour so score on that. Back to the city we went.

Australia (34 of 308)Australia (42 of 308)Australia (44 of 308)Australia (39 of 308)

The following day we took the train to Camberwell for their Sunday flea market followed by a tram ride to St. Kilda for the afternoon. A great day to soak up some of the atmosphere of the area and browse. There were quite a few things I wouldn't have minded taking home with me but it was about now that I came to the realization that Melbourne (and I would later realize everywhere else we visited) was really expensive! Chalk that up to the weakness of the American dollar but I wasn't quite prepared for it. And I'm not talking about just at tourist spots or high end places - the prices on just about everything from 711 to subway fare surprised me.

Australia (49 of 308)Australia (52 of 308)

Our final full day in Melbourne was reserved for the lanes and the Queen Victoria Market but I somehow missed the fact that it was closed on Monday. Chalk that one up to reading the travel guide incorrectly but my fault. So off we went exploring the lanes. I had originally thought that was one place but in reality its tons of tiny little alleyways hidden all over the central city. Fun to explore and window shop. And even though we seemed to cross all over the city, Im sure we missed loads. I guess that is the nature of Melbourne.

Melbourne was wonderful as was the entire trip to Australia. I can see why Australians are so proud of their country - its a wonderful multi faceted place. We were a little surprised just how little culture shock we experienced. I expected a place so far away from home would feel foreign but that is just not the case. We both felt right at home in this city as well as everywhere we went in Australia. Its just a very friendly and comfortable place to explore. The thing about Melbourne (and Australia in general) is that there are just too many things to do in our short time there so we barely got a taste.

Our time in Melbourne was up and off we flew to Queensland. Hamilton Island to be specific. More on that to come.

  4. I'm so jealous! Australia's been on my list for a while. Thanks for the images and the Melbourne tour!

  5. I'm a Melbourne girl and your photos really capture the place. Glad you enjoyed Melbourne - we love it. And yes our $ is so strong at the moment no wonder everything seemed expensive. But then again, it never was cheap. :)

  6. Annnnd now I want to go to Australia. I need to see the Koalas (when it's sunny). What a lovely array of photos you've taken. One of these days, I'm going to stow away in your suitcase!

  7. Beautiful! I love the graffiti/street art.

  8. So glad you enjoyed my fair city :) You did some of my fav things to do in Melbs - the Cambie market, St Kilda and exploring the lanes in the city. I can guarantee you though that you missed about 80% of the lanes, unless you have a local with you it can be a bit deceiving ;) Melbourne rocks

  9. My home city!! You got around to some really great places by the looks of it! Glad you had fun.

  10. Megan {Honey We're Home}11:42 PM

    So exciting for you! Your photography is amazing but my favorite is that ferris wheel photo!

  11. Gina @ A Sense of Design4:10 AM

    Koalas always look miserable!!!! They sleep about 22hrs a day so the rain was probably keeping them awake! They are still cute though.

  12. Hey :) Love your blog, love that you visited Australia. Welcome, and hope you had a great time. I'm always a little envious when I read US blogs and see how cheaply you can pick things up at flea markets etc. It's just not the case here (or not often, at least) and yes, Australia is pretty expensive compared to America. It always was, even when the dollar was better for you guys. Still, I read your blogs and dream and plan with inspiration and determination. Cheers, Lis

  13. jane davila5:15 PM

    That's totally crazy! I was in Melbourne (also for the first time) just when you were. I was there teaching at the Australasian Quilt Convention at the Royal Exhibition Center (amazing building) and stayed an extra couple of days to tour. I did the penguin, koala, kangaroo tour on Monday and then Victoria Market on Tuesday. I missed the Cambie market since I was working. Love your photos, you've captured it so well. Can't wait to go back someday!!

  14. Shaneanddanette8:12 PM

    Glad you enjoyed your trip to Melbourne! Love your photos. Australia is a wonderful place.

  15. I'm a Melbourne girl too and yes, it is expensive! I've just returned from living in London for 7 years so it came as a bit of a shock to me. Having said that, Melb has always has been a bit pricey. Glad you enjoyed it anyhow. Fab photos

  16. You were so close to me, isn't a 18 hour flight tough, I remember I would fly to the US and back in four days... but I won't do that again!

  17. It makes me so happy to see that you met a cute wombats. I loved them. And I enjoyed your pictures they bring back my own happy aussie memories.

  18. I've always wanted to to to Australia but since the hubs has been before, it's lower on our list. Looks like Melbourne is a very cool city! Great photos, as always.

  19. laura @ the shorehousechic2:21 PM

    You had me at koala. :-) Amazing pics as always. I really hope to get there some day!

  20. wow - my home town! so glad that you had such a wonderful time, yes our dollar is strong at the moment which is lovely for purchases from amazon but not so much for visitors here.
    you have beautifully captured our city and I love what you have observed, it is a lovely place to live - this has helped me to remember that a little more!

  21. Emily1:15 AM

    You capture such beautiful images. Glad you liked Melbourne! It's interesting to see which places overseas visitors decide to go to when they come here.

    Hehe. It makes me giggle that you came all the way from New York and visited the Camberwell markets. I live ten minutes away and find them a bit too lacklustre to wake up early for!

  22. Thestoriesofa2z6:26 PM

    Gorgeous photography!

I'd love to hear what you think. I ♥ comments.

Five Songs to Ruin Your Thanksgiving Dinner

Turmoil at the table awaits if you don't avoid these songs.
Turmoil at the table awaits if you don't avoid these songs.

Sitting down to your Thanksgiving dinner is relaxing climax of several days of intense effort. You've prepared the turkey, stirred the gravy, stuffed in the stuffing, and now you are enjoying the sweet taste of dead meat on your tongue. Many families enjoy listening to soft tunes while swooning over stuffing and sweet potatoes, perhaps some tribal flutes or Enya. Whatever the songs are, they're bound to be relaxing.

So what would happen if someone were to sneak some death metal into the mix? Nothing good, that's for certain. Mom might pee her pants and Grandma could flat line.

But messing with your family is half (ok, most) of the fun of family functions. Take our music selection into consideration and if Dad freaks out just blame County Grind.

5. The Song to Give Your Grandma a Heart Attack

Upcoming Events

Back in 2009 the Telegraph reported that doctors had warned Ryan Spearman, 24-year-old bass player for the band Gnar Dogs, to avoid metal music after suffering three cardiac arrests in one day. The doctors claimed that "loud, amplified music, energetic moshing and heavy riffing" could cause another potentially lethal attack.

If a 24-year-old could suffer from the screeching and screaming of metal music then Grandma's heart definitely couldn't hold up under the power of Death - literally.

4. The Song to Make Your Father Spit Fire

There's nothing a father loves more than sitting across the table from his angelic child, having a good conversation and suddenly hearing graphic lyrics about dirty sex blasting from the speaker.

"Face down ass up" is a line that he's only ever used with your mother. Smile pretty at him because this might be the last time he loves you.

3. The Song to Make Your Girlfriend Break Up With You

You and your girlfriend have been going strong, at least strong enough to warrant an invite to Thanksgiving dinner. Little does she know you've been hiding a secret and his name is Sven.

There's no better way to drop the "Hey, I'm gay" bomb that with a subtle ode to homosexual eskimos.

2. The Song To Make Your Mother Cry

This song certainly won't piss your mom off. But it will remind you of the time before her fights with your father. It'll remind her of a time when she was happy and worthy, a time before she was considering divorce just like every other American couple.

Be careful before you play it because you might shed a tear too.

How To Make Fresh Homemade Whipped Cream

How to Make Fresh Homemade Whipped Cream | #recipe

Fresh whipped cream might seem like second nature to most people, but when I first started making it myself years ago, I was admittedly intimidated. While there’s nothing better than a cream-based pie piled high with clouds of fresh whipped cream, there is certainly a sweet spot when it comes to getting it whipped up perfectly. If you stop too soon, you’ll end up with watery whipped cream, and if you whip it for too long, you’ll end up with butter.

No, seriously. You will make butter. I’ve done it (obviously unintentionally).

Now that fresh whipped cream and I have become friends, I love using it whenever I can. I actually have a number of different recipes on the site (hello coconut cream pie and chocolate cream pie) that use the method below, but I’m always bouncing around trying to find it since I apparently have a bad memory and can never remember how much cream, sugar and vanilla I use!

Whipped cream definitely deserves its own little corner of the Internet, and whether you choose to top a pie, dollop it on a bowl of fruit, or pipe some rosettes on a cake, this recipe will serve you infinitely well.

How to Make Fresh Homemade Whipped Cream

Yield: 3 cups whipped cream

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Total Time: 10 minutes

An easy tutorial on how to make perfect whipped cream every time!

1½ cups heavy cream (or heavy whipping cream)
4½ teaspoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1. Pour the heavy cream, sugar and vanilla extract into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment.

2. Turn the mixer to medium speed and whip. The cream will start to get frothy, and then will begin to thicken (around the 2-3 minute mark).

3. Increase the speed to medium-high and beat for another 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until the cream looks billowy and there are distinct trails left by the whisk in the whipped cream. If you remove the whisk from the mixer and turn it upside down, the whipped cream should remain upright and not droop off.

Top your favorite fruit or pie! The whipped cream can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 1 day.

• While some recipes call for beating at medium-high or high speed, I find that there's not enough time to recognize the different stages of the cream when it's getting close to being done and it can easily be over-mixed, which is why I prefer using medium speed.

• When I first started making my own whipped cream, I found I was much more confident using a hand mixer. A stand mixer is great, but it will whip much faster, which makes it hard to realize when to stop before it's too late.

About Dylan Sneed:

Like a sober Townes Van Zandt. - SC Free Times

After being jettisoned from corporate America in 2006, Texas born, South Carolina based songwriter Dylan Sneed hit the road, logging over 200,000 miles across the U.S. and Europe. Known for his deft finger-picking and clever word play, Sneed began to grow his audience the grassroots way: one dedicated fan at a time.

Synthetic Pesticide
Organic farming

Pest resistance

Crop SprayingOrganic Farming:

Bt proteins has been used in many organic farms for over 50 years as a microbial pest control agent (MCPA). Bt proteins are allowed in organic farming as a insecticide because Bt is a natural, non-pathogenic bacterium that is found naturally in the soil. Bt has also been found to be safe to all higher animals tested.

Bt strains account for nearly 90% of the world MPCA market. Most of the Bt products contain insecticidal crystal proteins (ICP) and viable spores (spores that can produce live bacteria). The ICPs are responsible for insect toxicity. ICPs are usually biologically inactive within hours or days. A few products contain inactivated spores.

Typical agricultural formulations include wettable powders, spray concentrates, liquid concentrates, dusts, baits, and time release rings. Bt formulations may be applied to foliage, soil, water environments or food storage facilities. There are many different strains of Bt used, each specific to different insects. Because Bt is species specific, beneficial and non-target insects are usually not harmed.

Popular Bt Strains used

Bt Strain Effective against
Bt kurstaki (Btk) types of lepidopterous insects gypsy moth cabbage looper
Bt aizawai (Bta) wax moth larvae in honeycombs
Bt israelensis (Bti) mosquitoes, blackflies, midges
Bt san diego certain beetle species, bool weevil

Cotton BollwormBt is effective only when eaten by the insect as a larva, Bt is ineffective against most adult insects. Since Bt is applied topically, insects that attack the roots or the insides of a plant will not be affected.

Last season on The Biggest Loser, which concluded earlier this month, 15 contestants competed for the big prize. But there could only be one winner. And in a season that focused on the "Battle of the Ages," it was 41-year-old John Rhode who lost the most weight and wound up being named the Biggest Loser. His starting weight was 445 lbs; he ended the show at 225 lbs, losing 220 lbs along the way.

The Biggest Loser is all about changing people's lives. So Bob Harper and the team will set out do just that once again, with a new twist that threatens to change the whole game. Who will lose it all to win The Biggest Loser season 13?

The Biggest Loser Season 12 Finale Recap >>

The Biggest Loser Season 13 Splits Up the Family:

The Biggest Loser season 13 will start out like any other. The 20 contestants will enter the ranch in teams of two, paired up with someone they already know. But in a shocking move (more to the contestants, I'm sure, than to us), the teams will be split, pitting everyone against their own family members.

The Biggest Loser season 13 is dubbed the season of "No Excuses." The contestants will be pushed harder and like never before. Along with helping them become healthy, the trainers will be making an effort to address the excuses and reasons they give for not losing weight in the past. An important challenge starts off the season, and one team won't even be in the competition long enough to head to the ranch.

Play The Biggest Loser Trivia >>

Here's a run-down on all the new contestants competing this time around:

Gail Lee and Lauren Lee: A mother and daughter from Maryland.

Mark Cornelison and Isaac "Chism" Cornelison: A youth pastor and his student son.

Kim Stone and Megan Stone: A mother/daughter duo. Daughter Megan works with an organization that helps disabled adults.

Nancy Rajala and Cassandra Sturos: A grandmother and her granddaughter, who is an in-home senior caregiver.

Conda Britt and Jeremy Britt: A sister and brother pair from Michigan.

Adrian Dortch and Daphne Dortch: A music producer brother and his sister.

Joe Messina and Mike Messina: A truck driver brother and his cook brother.

Allen "Buddy" Shuh and Ben Shuh: A pastor and his brother.

Christine Pickler and Roy Pickler: Two self-employed workers. Roy also works as Santa Claus.

Emily Joy and Kim Nielsen: Two strangers on the same team. One is a teacher; the other a former professional wrestler.

Who Is Your Biggest Loser Trainer? >>

Take a look at a preview for the new season:

Bob Harper and Dolvett Quince return as trainers (Anna Kournikova is not returning), with Alison Sweeney as host. At The Biggest Loser Ranch, 20 contestants will arrive and only one will be able to claim the $250,000 grand prize. What do you think of the new twist? And who do you think will be able to lose it all to win big?

The Biggest Loser season 13 premieres January 3, 2012, at 8pm on NBC.

Australia's Flight Pass Program

Roundtrip air from Los Angeles to Australia for $999 plus free airfare to three other Australian cities

By , Thursday, Sep 23, 2004, 12:00 AM

The Real Deal: Buy roundtrip airfare from Los Angeles to Sydney, Melbourne or Brisbane for $999 and fly to three other Australian cities for free.

When: July 19 - Aug. 26, 2005

Gateways: Los Angeles and Honolulu; other gateways and dates available for a surcharge.

Details: Minimum stay of 7 days and maximum of 21 days from your first transpacific flight.

Book By: Aug. 31, 2005

Contact: Qantas,

The concept behind the new travel pass from Qantas is a simple rip-off of Cathay Pacific's much more extensive "" and it even carries the same price-tag: $999. Here's how it works: for $999, you--the intrepid traveler-- will get to fly from Los Angeles or Honolulu to Oz and then hop to three cities on this massive continent, without paying a cent extra. Considering that airfares from LA to Sydney often top the $999 mark, and fares from say, Brisbane to Sydney can cost $150 each way, this is a superb opportunity for anyone who's ever wanted to really get around Down Under. Travelers have 30 days tops to use their pass and can only fly to one city apiece in three different sectors during that time. But still, these are the cities you'll want to visit: Sydney, Canberra, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Gold Coast Queensland, Perth, Ayers Rock, Darwin, Cairns and others. To extend your trip for another 30 days costs an additional $100.

The $999 price-tag is good until Dec. 9, 2004 and again after Apr. 26, 2005. In the months in between the rate will rise by about $300. Add-ons from other cities, including those on the East Coast and Midwest, are certainly available.

KLFW RTW 2015 has officially come to an end, but not without a bang—Rizman Ruzaini's menswear and women's collection had special star-studded opening and closing performances courtesy of Anuar Zain, Ning Baizura and Ziana Zain while Jonathan Liang's ultra mod and texture-filled collection kept us wanting for more looks than those already presented on the runway. Read on for a lowdown of the final night of KLFW 2015:

1. What's great about Hayden Koh's contemporary designs for the everyday woman is that it retains its classic feminine allure in all the finer details: fluted hemlines on knee-length skirts, dresses with fitted tops with full, flared pocketed skirts, and details such as white or glittery black front panels.

2. Tsyahmi stuck to his essentials while staying current as we saw a new variation of wide-legged trousers attached at the hemline with an open-front skirt, kebaya-inspired blazers, and folded pleats in a top.

3. Jonathan Liang had us scrambling to keep our jaws from dropping too low to the ground as our eyes feasted upon his flower appliquéd and metallic-filled creations. On our wishlists: a blue, black and white dress with a reversed ruffle detailing, a metallic, foil-like pink dress with matching pants, and a black tulle babydoll with white and red floral motifs scattered across the top. Need we say more?

4. Our digital lounge hosted Jonathan Liang's showcase with esteemed guests including fellow designers Kittie Yiyi, Sean and Sheila, and Nelissa Hilman, Sarah Kate Watson-Baik from K-Style, and fashion blogger Vera Mao of Naked Glory present while sipping champagne and having an occasional Magnum Gold and Almond.

Coreopsis: Indoor or Direct Sow or Potted Plant Perennial

How to Sow and Plant

Coreopsis may be grown from seed sown early indoors and transplanted outside after frost, or sown directly in the garden in summer, or grown from potted plants.

Sowing Seed Indoors:

  • Sow indoors 6-8 weeks before outdoor planting time
  • Sow ½ inches deep in seed-starting formula
  • Keep the soil moist at 70-75 degrees F
  • Seedlings emerge in 15-20 days
  • As soon as seedlings emerge, provide plenty of light on a sunny windowsill or grow seedlings 3-4 inches beneath fluorescent plant lights turned on 16 hours per day, off for 8 hours at night. Raise the lights as the plants grow taller. Incandescent bulbs will not work for this process because they will get too hot. Most plants require a dark period to grow, do not leave lights on for 24 hours.
  • Seedlings do not need much fertilizer, feed when they are 3-4 weeks old using a starter solution (half strength of a complete indoor houseplant food) according to manufacturer’s directions.
  • If you are growing in small cells, you may need to transplant the seedlings to 3 or 4 inch pots when seedlings have at least 2 pairs of true leaves before transplanting to the garden so they have enough room to develop strong roots.
  • Before planting in the garden, seedling plants need to be “hardened off”. Accustom young plants to outdoor conditions by moving them to a sheltered place outside for a week. Be sure to protect them from wind and hot sun at first. If frost threatens at night, cover or bring containers indoors, then take them out again in the morning.  This hardening off process toughens the plant’s cell structure and reduces transplant shock and scalding.

Sowing Directly in the Garden:

  • Choose a location in full sun with well-drained soil after danger of frost. In frost free areas sow from fall to early spring.
  • Remove weeds and work organic matter into the top 6-8 inches of soil; then level and smooth.
  • Sow evenly and thinly cover with ½ inch of fine soil.
  • Firm the soil lightly and keep it evenly moist.
  • Seedlings will emerge in 15-20 days.
  • Thin to 18 inches apart when seedlings are 2 inches tall.

Planting Potted Plants:

  • Choose a location in full sun with well-drained soil.
  • Prepare the bed by turning the soil under to a depth of 6-12 inches removing any debris, and lightly raking as level as possible.
  • The addition of organic matter (leaf mold, compost, well-rotted manure) benefits all gardens and is essential in recently constructed neighborhoods.
  • Plant on a cloudy day or in late afternoon to reduce transplant shock.
  • Dig a hole for each plant large enough to amply accommodate the root ball.
  • Unpot the plant and gently loosen the root ball with your hands to encourage good root growth.
  • Place the top of the root ball even with the level of the surrounding soil. Fill with soil to the top of the root ball. Press soil down firmly with your hand.
  • Use the plant tag as a location marker.
  • Thoroughly water and apply a light mulch layer on top of the soil (1-2 inches) to conserve water and reduce weeds.

How to Grow

  • Keep weeds under control during the growing season. Weeds compete with plants for water, space and nutrients, so control them by either cultivating often or use a mulch to prevent their germination.
  • Mulches also help retain soil moisture and maintain even soil temperatures. For perennials, an organic mulch of aged bark or shredded leaves lends a natural look to the bed and will improve the soil as it breaks down in time.  Always keep mulches off a plant’s stems to prevent possible rot.
  • Careful watering is essential in getting perennials off to a good start. Water thoroughly at least once a week to help new roots grow down deeply. Soil should be damp at about 1 inch below the soil surface. You can check this by sticking your finger in the soil. Water early in the morning to give all leaves enough time to dry.  One inch of rain or watering per week is recommended for most perennial plants. You can check to see if you need to add water by using a rain gauge.
  • Until plants become established, some protection from extreme winds and direct, hot sunlight may be necessary.  Good air movement is also important.
  • After new growth appears, a light fertilizer may be applied. Keep granular fertilizers away from the plant crown and foliage to avoid burn injury. Use low rates of a slow release fertilizer such as Garden-tone, as higher rates may encourage root rots.
  • Coreopsis appreciates a protective winter mulch after the ground freezes north of zone 6.
  • Divide the plants in spring or fall for propagation or to rejuvenate old clumps.

Growing Tips

  • Many gardeners do not cut back perennial flower seed heads in the fall, but wait until early spring before the new foliage appears. This provides food for wildlife over the winter.
  • Coreopsis is valuable for the middle or front of the border and is an ideal addition to dry-soil gardens.
  • The cut flowers are long-lasting and a welcome addition to fresh arrangements.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Beautiful! I actually bought this about 4 years ago, but just had to write a review. This plant is gorgeous. Adds so much color to my garden. Low and compact the first year, with blooms, but 2nd year on I needed to buy stakes for plant to grow thru to keep upright (found at gardens alive). Blooms throughout summer, and color is stunning. So glad I bought these!!!!
