[Click here to read Part I]

Part II

An egg stands on the counter beside a sheathed blade. It topples over without rolling and falls next to the blade, leaning against its sheath.

I grab the egg and stuff it into a carton in the refrigerator.

—Not yet, but when the time comes, we’ll use it.

I shove the blade into a drawer and fall into a lake, which has replaced the kitchen floor.

Unable to swim, I flounder and sink to the bottom.

I can’t hold my breath, so I clench my eyes and wait for death.

My concentration, in that moment, establishes silence, darkness.

“I” disappear as pure consciousness takes hold:

Not darkness, but grayness—the end of a gradient cast by a powerful and all-consuming light.

I sense it but I can’t fall into it, so I try, and I break my concentration and open my eyes.

Sitting half-lotus on my bed, I glance around the room.

I amble into the kitchen and open the fridge and the egg pops out of the carton and rolls and shatters, spilling a fetus resembling me onto the floor.

It arches its back and writhes and sheds its flesh, revealing an infinite universe beneath the meat.

Cradling the universe in my cupped hands, careful not to jolt or spill it, I bring it to my mouth and devour it, swallowing it without chewing.

The universe expands in my stomach and spreads to my limbs and chest, neck and head.

And as my experience shifts, “I” transform into something else entirely: a mystic with a sadistic streak.

No artist can thrive or survive without rebirth. If you don’t die and find yourself replaced with a different iteration of you, then you don’t have anything to show or teach anyone. To die is to lose your sense of self and find it replaced with an altogether different sense of self. An artist cannot thrive without experiencing such a death.

I close my eyes and feel the Earth’s rotation, and I visualize a bisected splice of the earth as it rotates. We take for granted our position on this body spiraling through space. We lose touch of it, of the oneness of it all. And we imagine ourselves as somehow separate or distinct.

At core, I am no different than anything else in the universe. I’m not separated from anything. On the level of the ego I don’t distinguish myself from anything I do, including art, writing, both.

I’m connected to this because it’s a schematic for thoughts or images I wish to convey. It’s part of me. Then your non-conscious mind will take these schematics and construct a model, one inspired by my thoughts as I write this.

I have died and I am liberated. And now I want to show the world how to do it—that’s my ambition as an artist. For years, “artist” ill-fitted me, or vice versa. And now, sensing and feeling the world spin, I fondle the term.

They ask me why I write—who? No one. But that’s beside the point—and six months ago I would have told them it’s to show my younger self, and those around me, that I haven’t failed. Now, my motives have changed.

I can’t remember why I started writing: it’s something I even feigned before I learned to read and write. I do know I wrote and wrote and read and read—and it soon developed into an obsession. After I internalized it, the obsession metamorphosed in passion. The passion spawned delusion, which multiplied, but, unlike some people, I cultivated and cherished them.

The refrigerators humming; it’s making a mechanical noise, as if it’s about to go out on us. It’s soft, malleable, leaning to the left and slumping forward a few degrees. It’s unwell. So, curious, I poke the handle on the freezer door and jerk back my arm. Touching it had reminded me of poking room-temperature meat.

A puddle of water at its base tells me the end is near. —Daulton, my sister said on the phone, —go to mom’s. Something’s wrong with dad. My mother told me he had urinated after he went limp. He was still at the ER and we were picking her up to run to see him. My stomach hollowed out when she told me he’d urinated. I pictured him slumped over in his wheel chair, a puddle beneath him.

Death sneaks up on you. One minute you’re carrying on a conversation and another minute you no longer exist. It’s terrifying.

A spiritual death is equally terrifying when you’re in the midst of it. When you destroy your delusions and realize you aren’t “you,” you destroy a universe as well.

My delusion had ossified. It had spread throughout my neural pathways and altered my neurophysiology. It dictated my behavior, my attitude, everything. To undergo such an experience—such a spiritual death; to die; to sense the person within. Realizing my delusions had imprisoned me, I understood the need for escape.

The fiction I had created involved Daulton the writer succeeding. In that universe, Daulton saw himself as a success-in-waiting. Anytime. Anytime now.

I wrote every book for myself, then I hoped for the certain future. This delusion altered my behavior, my perception: it altered the universe.

Anytime. Anytime now.

But “anytime” didn’t come. It shattered my ego, a sense of self constructed from a fictional person in a fictional universe. The “me” I took for granted showed itself as a fantasy, a work of fiction, a delusion constructing a fictional universe.

My head hurts. I close my eyes and press my thumb and index fingers into my eyelids and study the hypnagogic light show it produces.

Yellowish blobs, assuming various geometric shapes, spin and twist, collide and dissolve and morph into various patterns. A bolt of lighting dissolves and transmogrifies into a face. Without eyes or nose, a smile animates the bottom half of the face. The mouth closes and the smile fades. Pyramids surrounded by a circle of pyramids as seen from overhead: their shadows bring to mind a sun folding into a Möbius strip.

I breathe through my nose as I meditate, trying to overcome this purgatoried me. On realizing I had succumbed to fantasy, a desire I had felt for years, I fell into a severe depression. It persists. If that wasn’t me, if my sense of self can change, then who resides beneath the roulette wheel of senses of self?

Who am I?

It occurs to me: if my sense of self is malleable, then perhaps I can help give it shape and form. I’m the author of my rebirth. A surrealist at core, I’ve long suppressed my surrealistic tendencies. I see now how they might have clashed with the fictional superstar-in-waiting, who dominated and suppressed them. But now I can help create a sense of self accepting of surreal behavior. I can help model a universe in which the surreal intermingles with the real, a world where an ill refrigerator can slump over and decompose.

This, of course, excites me. But I possess few means of doing it. I point my ambition inward for now in hopes of invigorating my writing, which constitutes one of the few vestiges of the old Daulton.

I still obsess over it. But I’ve lost the passion, the ability to write. Since passion develops over time, I write little pieces—and read like a maniac—hoping to re-ignite that passion, wanting to create works of pure surrealism, stream-of-consciousness pieces as written in a surreal universe. Perhaps the obsession and the passion could reignite other passions, perhaps it will help me change myself outwardly as well as inwardly.

Only you can tell the difference between light and dark. Only you.
You emphasize the unknown and distance yourself from it.
I embrace the unknown.
I absorb it and draw no distinctions.

Night folds in on itself and trillions of scorpions fall from the sky,
Screeching, while some
Living people give birth to snakes and worms and maggots
In their brains
While priding themselves on never
Having had snakes or worms or
Maggots in their brains

Night replaces the universe with a canvas.
We can and do paint on the canvas and confuse it with the corporeal.
All worlds and universes die eventually—and so few experience them, opting
Instead for the images on the canvas

—I delude myself: I can’t see it. Yet. But when I do, I’ll tweak the universe. And experience a universe of my choosing.

How Often Can You Do Full Body Workouts?

Strength training is an essential component of an exercise program that complements cardio workouts and stretching exercises. Whether you lift weights or use resistance bands, strength training helps build muscle mass and strength. The American Council on Exercise says that contrary to popular belief, strength training will not cause women to bulk up. Rather, it will add definition to your body and improve your strength by up to 40 percent. Full-body workouts target all major muscle groups in a single exercise session, which is popular among those who have limited time for exercise.

The Guidelines

The USDA Center for Nutrition Policy and Promotion and the Department of Health recommend that adults do total body workouts that target all the major muscle groups twice each week in addition to aerobic exercise. Rest briefly after each exercise, or work out without breaks to increase the aerobic element of your strength training session. Allow at least two days between workouts so your muscles can recover. Once a particular exercise has become easy, add additional weight so that you continue to benefit from total body workouts.

Strength Training Benefits

By building strength and muscle mass, you can improve your performance in other activities. Building leg muscles will improve your running or cycling speed. You can use your added strength to increase your exercise intensity for greater calorie burn and better weight control. Full-body workouts approach strength training in a structured fashion so that you do not overwork your smaller muscles before the larger muscle groups in your body.

Muscle Effects

Factors affecting how often you can do full-body workouts involve the effects on the muscular system. The act of building muscles requires that muscle fibers become damaged so that the body can then repair them. The muscles adapt by becoming larger and stronger. The recovery process, however, requires time to repair the damaged muscle fibers. Doing total body workouts on consecutive days will increase your risk of injury. You should plan two rest days after an exercise session.

Organizing Your Workout

Begin your full-body workouts with the larger muscle groups of your upper and lower body. Smaller muscles such as your biceps and triceps will support the larger muscles when doing exercises targeting the upper body. Avoid fatiguing smaller muscles early to complete exercises targeting larger muscles first. Your exercises should work your muscles to the point of fatigue. This is an indication that you have worked out hard enough. You can do this with just one set of exercises, as long as you challenge your muscles sufficiently.

‘Selling Something’

I’m sure people probably look at what I do and think ‘Oh, look she’s just selling something else’, but that’s not really fair.

Yes, I am in sales. I probably like it more than I care to admit, but that’s not why I decided to do this.

The truth is I could have sold a ton of things. There’s no shortage in finding something to sell from home, right?

I do like part where I’m able to bring home a paycheck without really leaving my house. I do enjoy being able to contribute to my family’s finances. And you can bet I was proud when I was able to come up with the down payment on our new car all by myself.

Yeah, those things are great, but it’s so much more than that.

It’s the mission, the movement, the ability to effect change all the way to Washington.

It’s the activist in me. It’s being the example to my children. It’s the passion for educating others.

It’s fighting the fight.

It’s the determination to one day  know that  my children could shop at any store they wanted and they would not  have to worry about reading labels or being exposed to unnecessary toxins because it will all be safe.

There will be no more loop holes. There will be rules. We won’t let companies get away with doing whatever they want for a buck or two. There will be standards. There will be accountability.

Because it’s the business side too. The side that proves you can do the right things and still make an incredible living. It’s about people over profit.

It’s about knowing better and doing better.

See? I told you it was so much more than just ‘selling something’.

Are you passionate about living a healthy lifestyle? Do you care about what you eat? Do you pay attention to health & fitness? Then join me! Lock arms with me and nearly 10,000 other women and men and help share this mission. No huge investments. No inventory or auto shipping required. Become a part of a ground floor opportunity and help change the world we live in. Learn more, here.

Can I vote in 2016 and how do I register?

To vote Green in May 2016 or in any by-elections before then, you need to make sure that you are registered to vote.

***For the first time, voters in England are now able to register to vote online***

To register online go to

It only takes just a few minutes to make sure you can have your say!

To register online you need your National Insurance number (which can be found on your pay slips or on your P60). Click here to find out what to do if you don't receive pay slips and have lost your NI number.

You may also need your passport to register online if you’re living abroad. There are separate registration services for public servants who are likely to be posted overseas.

Can I vote in the May 2016 London elections?

You can vote in the May 2016 London elections if you have registered to vote and you are:

  • 18 or over on election day. 16 and 17 year olds can register with their local borough and they will be added to the electoral register as soon as they become 18.
  • British or a Commonweath, Irish Republic or EU citizens living in the UK.
  • Registered to vote in London by 18 April 2016.

Being registered with the council for services such as paying council tax will not automatically include you on the electoral register. Although both are held by the council, the two lists are separate.

This information has been taken from the London Elects website

Our Next Meeting

Our next monthly meeting is on Monday 20 May at 7pm (doors open 6.30pm) at Living Space Waterloo, 1 Coral Street, SE1 7BE.  Agenda to follow.

Travel Media & Technology Bulletin – Tuesday 6 November 2018

The latest developments in media and technology, published every Tuesday at 06:00 GMT.

London Air Travel » Travel Media & Technology Bulletin » Travel Media & Technology Bulletin – Tuesday 6 November 2018

The BBC Sounds App
The BBC Sounds App (Image Credit: BBC)

Hello and welcome to our weekly travel media and technology bulletin, published every Tuesday at 06:00 GMT.

BBC launches BBC Sounds

The BBC has officially launched its new audio app BBC Sounds.

BBC Sounds is intended to ultimately replace its iPlayer radio app and brings the BBC’s live radio stations, on-demand audio and podcasts into one app.

You may have seen BBC Radio services have rebranded their social media feeds “Radio 1 on BBC Sounds”. The launch is supported by a big budget marketing campaign produced by BBC Creative with Riff Raff Films and directed by MegaForce

At the moment the app is only available for download in the UK. As you have to sign in to access the app’s content you can continue listening where you left off on other devices. To drive take-up of the app, some podcasts are only available on the app. It also features exclusive mixes and archive comedy and drama.

The Guardian launches daily news podcast

The Guardian has joined The New York Times and The Financial Times in launching a daily news podcast.

Published every weekday “Today In Focus” selects one issue for each 20 minute edition. The BBC has also launched a similar single issue daily podcast “Beyond Today”.

Also of note this week:

For a time, and much to the frustration of the BBC’s commercial rivals, it seemed that BBC Radio 2 was an indomitable force in radio. With a generous budget and a solid line-up of talent it seemed impenetrable. However, a chain of events, such as the BBC being forced to publish presenter salaries and some clumsy talent management, is unsteadying the ship. The BBC has lost two major presenters in a matter of months and the commercial vultures are now circling. Mark Lawson explains what’s going on. (RadioTimes)

The latest series from the indefatigable Sir David Attenborough Dynasties debuts on UK television this Sunday. Viewers with a compatible smart TV will be able to watch it in Ultra HD on the BBC iPlayer for connected TVs.

The BBC plans to merge the production of the “The World Tonight” on BBC Radio 4 and “Newshour” on The World Service. (Sunday Times)

The UK bids farewell to “Big Brother” one of the few shows that, for better or for worse, genuinely changed television. Philip Edgar-Jones, Creative Director of the UK version in its first decade is unapologetic. (The Guardian)

Dutton, a Penguin Random House imprint, releases its first batch of mini books that can be read with one hand. (The New York Times)

The enthralling and never-told story of the War of the Worlds radio drama and its true aftermath
On October 30, 1938, families across the country were gathered around their radios when their regular programming was interrupted by an announcer delivering news of a meteor strike in New Jersey. With increasing intensity, the announcer read bulletins describing terrifying war machines moving toward New York City. As the invading force approached, some listeners sat transfixed before their radios, while others ran to alert neighbors or call the police. Some even fled their homes in panic. But the broadcast was not breaking news—it was Orson Welles’s adaptation of the H. G. Wells classic The War of the Worlds.

In Broadcast Hysteria, A. Brad Schwartz (FTVM ’13) examines the history behind the infamous radio play. Did it really spawn a wave of mass hysteria? Schwartz is the first to examine the hundreds of letters sent directly to Welles after the broadcast. He draws upon them, and hundreds more sent to the FCC, to recapture the roiling emotions of a bygone era, and his findings challenge conventional wisdom. Relatively few listeners believed an actual attack was under way. But even so, Schwartz shows that Welles’s broadcast prompted a different kind of “mass panic” as Americans debated the bewitching power of the radio and the country’s vulnerability in a time of crisis. Schwartz’s original research, gifted storytelling, and thoughtful analysis make Broadcast Hysteria a groundbreaking work of media history.

Le Maschere Nude | Digital compositions

These are the reconstructed radiographies of my paintings within my long term project about memory: how do transform short term memories into long term memories?

The starting point of this project are the memories of my own family. Every time I portrait a person, I reconstruct a radiography of the portrait that shows what is no longer visible on that person’s portrayed face.

Disorient is a collaboration with Valentina Lacmanovic (https://disorienters.com)

Analog series [LEICA CL f/5.6]
Digital series

I initially used photography for its immediacy of capturing the movement. The digital tool allowed me to decompose and transcribe the movement anew, so I wanted to see what would it be like if I moved too.

I joined Valentina in the movement. I looked for interactions that define a linear defragmented image. The movement captured that way radically transforms through the photographic lens in order to make a pictorial image that partially refracts the movement in a fragmented image.

Identification and Control of Beetles in the Garden

Beetles that attack Garden Plants and Crops

Most varieties of Beetles feed on developing crops and are harmful in garden soils. Although there are a small handful that are beneficial, they are a rare exception. Identifying which beetles are attacking your garden is the first step in controlling them. Preventive measures can include permaculture tactics such as companion planting as well as other organic methods of control which are not only cost effective but also more beneficial to the environment.

Flea Beetle is a generic name applied to many species of small jumping beetles commonly seen early in the gardening season. They are somewhat elongated to oval in shape, and vary in color, pattern, and size. There are dozens of varieties.

They are difficult pests to manage causing headaches for the most avid gardeners, various varieties attack eggplant, seedlings of tomatoes, potatoes, peppers, radishes, and corn.

CedarcideCedarcide is an effective deterrent of flea Beetles and a large array of other insect pests.

Identification Flea Beetles

Sap Beetles are mostly small black or dark insects that are flattened and broadly oval. Most feed on plant sap that exudes from wounds on ripe and decaying fruit or fungi.

Harvest tomatoes, melons, berries and other produce as soon as they ripen. Remove any damaged, diseased, or overripe fruits and vegetables at regular intervals. The collecting of ripe and decomposing fruits and vegetables is needed to eliminate beetle food sources.

Egg and larvae of the sap beetle can be kept in check with Neem Oil and /or predatory insects such as Lady Bugs.

BVarieties of Sap Beetles

Adults are a blue/black beetle with a red underside and yellow spots. The larvae are a soft, green /Yellow grub . Both feed on asparagus spears by chewing the tips and spear surfaces which leads to scarring and staining of the spears.

Eggs are laid on developing spears with the eggs being small, elongated and black - sticking out lengthwise from the side of asparagus spears.

Early control of beetles is important to reduce feeding damage later.

Different Types Asparagus Beetles

Rotenone, PyrethrumPyrethrum Natural Insecticide, malathion and carbaryl are effective against asparagus beetles. Neem is most effective against the larvae stages only.

A robust beetle with five yellow and black stripes on back. Larva is reddish-orange, humpbacked with two rows of black spots on each side.

They prefer to feed on potato, eggplant and tomato. Rotate these preferred hosts with other crops in alternate years.

Effective Predator insects are Lady Bugs which devour Colorado potato beetle eggs.

Bacillus thuringiensisBt Insecticide , a natural bacteria is highly effective against the Colorado Potato Beetle. It will control early stages of the Colorado potato beetle and larvae. It is not as effective against adults. BT must applied as soon as possible, when the beetles or larvae are still young.

Colorado Potato Beetles

A serious pest of raspberries , blackberries and related fruit and bramble. Adult rednecked cane borers attack foliage, feeding on the upper leaf surfaces during the day leaving irregular holes.

Larvae feed on primo canes and form irregular galls from 1 to 3 inches in length which often causes splitting of the bark. Infested canes die or become so weakened they cannot support a crop the following season. Rednecked cane borers may infest as much as 50 percent of the canes in one or two year old plantings.

Bacillius thuringiensis[Bt] is highly effective against the larvae stage and should be applied as soon as the larvae are first noticed or suspected.

Redneck Cane Borers

There are two different types of Cucumber Beetle. The striped form and it's cousin the spotted cucumber beetle also known as the southern corn rootworm. they are basically identical except that it features a dozen black spots instead of stripes. Another well-known family member is the corn rootworm.

Whether spotted or striped, both are the same size and the same, greenish-yellow color, and both dine on a wide variety of cucumber and related vegetables as well as various ornamentals , roses and dahlias for dessert.

Cucumber Beetle Identification

Cantaloupe, squash, pumpkin, gourd, melons, other species of cucurbits., beans, corn, peanuts, potatoes, are also on it's menu.. What a balanced diet ! Probably the most serious damage by cucumber beetles is transmission of bacterial wilt. In the worst case scenario this disease can wipe out your Garden . The striped and the spotted cucumber beetle both can carry the bacteria.

Damage caused by Cucumber beetles includes Seedling destruction, Flower & Foliage damage, Root Feeding and Disease transmission.

Also known as the cabbage bug, calicoback and calico bug.

The adult black, shield-shaped bug is covered with orange, red, and yellow markings. It varies in size, but is generally no more than 3/8 inch.

The barrel-shaped egg, laid in clusters on crucifer foliage, is light gray to pale yellow with two black bands . The nymph is similar to the adult in coloration, but is smaller and lacks wings.

Harlequin Beetle Identification

Found from coast to coast in North America , but no further North than Southern Ontario and Maine. It does its primary damage in the southern states.

Harlequin bugs will feed on squash, corn, bean, asparagus, okra,tomato, cabbage turnip ,Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, cabbage, kale, kohlrabi, lettuce, collard, mustard, radish,

Neem Oil prevents the larvae from developing normally and is also a good alternative for later larval stages.

Flat backed, winged, brown/ black, occasionally mottled with tan / gray or light brown.

Young squash bugs, are a muddled white to green/gray, with black legs. Newly hatched nymphs have a green abdomen, red legs, and antennae . Shortly after hatching (with in a day), red parts become black.

Nymphs pass through 5 stages (instars) requiring 4-6 weeks before reaching maturity. Late instars are of a dark, greenish-gray color.

The squash bug is frequently misidentified as a stinkbug . Their appearance is similar and both emit a distinct foul "stink" either when crushed, or congregating in large numbers.

Squash Bug Identification

Eggs are laid on the undersides of leaves in clusters of a dozen or more . Egg laying continues until midsummer. The orange-yellow eggs, each about one-sixteenth of an inch in length, appear in neatly ordered rows . They gradually change to a bronze color before hatching.Only one generation develops each year and new adults do not mate until the following spring.

Squash bugs can be found clustered beneath damaged leaves, or in any protective groundcover. They feed by sucking sap from the leaves and stems while injecting a toxic substance into the plant causing a wilting known as Anasa wilt of cucurbits.

A common sap-feeding insect attacking a wide range of plants. Beans, beets, cauliflower, cabbage, chard, celery,cucumber, potato, turnip, salsify, and dill; apple, peach, pear,strawberry,blueberries and most other deciduous and small fruits.

It can cause considerable damage to vegetables and fruits by puncturing young fruits before they mature. These damaged areas do not develop along with the rest of the fruit/vegetable, resulting in misshapen produce.

Tarnished Plant Bug Identification

The damage may range from slight deformation to complete loss . Adults and nymphs both inject poison into young stems, buds, and fruit. It sucks on blossom stems as well. They carry fire blight disease and infect plants as they feed. Black spots and pitting can be seen on the stem, tips, buds, and fruit.

Adults and larvae of this species will cause major crop damage to beans. They feed on both the leaves and bean pods . In heavy infestations, the tissue between the leaf veins may be completely skeletonized.

Adult bean beetles are pale yellow to copper colored with 16 black spots on their outer wings. They are sometimes mistaken for a lady bug. Adults lay egg clusters in early summer, the yellow eggs will appear on the underside of the leaves.

Bean Beetle Identification

As the eggs hatch yellow larvae covered with black-tipped spines emerge and commence devouring plants. The larval stages are responsible for the greatest damage to bean crops. They feed on the underside of the leaves for four to five weeks before they pupate. Adult beetles emerge within a week.

PyrethinPyrethin Biopesticides is effective, but must be reapplied on a regular basis as it breaks down in sunlight quickly.

Beauveria bassiana Organic Pesticide is a naturally occurring fungus that acts as a parasite on various insect species, bean beetles being one of these.

Tomorrows Not Promised To You

This song is by T-Bone.

It's 3 in the morning
I'm awaken by the sound of the doorbell
Thoughts going through my mind
Pitch black, my eyes are blind
So I'm getting up to see what's happening
I'm hearing voices so I'm creeping slowly
Just in case they gets to capping
I walk asleep to the door
Next thing I know these fools jumping out of my bushes
And got me face down on the floor
Now I'm getting hit, kicked, and pistoled with
And the only thing that I see was all this blood flying in my spit
Oh my God they're trying to kill the T
And worst then that all these G's were smoked down on PCP
They threw me in my bathtub where I lie in blood
These homies must be thinking I live the life of a thug
They full of hate
Beating me with pipes and weights
And I'm looking for a way out but it seems that there's no escape
Dear God, I'm wondering can you save me
But maybe I should die because this world got me going crazy
Now what am I to do
I'm sad and confused
I'm thinking about my family, friends, and my baby boo, too
Gee, tears run down my eyes as I start to cry
I'm wondering to my self why do the good always have to die

Tomorrows not promised to me or to you
Death is knocking at your door what you gonna do

Man they finna kill me
They tripping and pulling me out of my bathtub
Dragging me through my house
Hollering 'cause I'm getting shocked in my mouth
They stealing my possessions
Gapping everything I own
Took my VCR and got away with 4,000 bones

I'm outside
They got me at gunpoint
Trying to jack my ride
And if I try to run God knows it would only be suicide
So I better stay
But they still gonna try to pull my car
So I better think fast 'cause if I don't blast
I can't let down my guard
I'm praying to God someone would call one time,
Bu nobody called one time
So I'm stuck in the midst of this crime
He's cursing at me
Asking me what my combination be
And if I don't tell him homie you know better
This be killing
So I told him
Lock numer 8 3 11
It's the 2 11
But I don't want to end up in the 1 8 7
I'm 21 but will I live to see 22
And witness the birth of the organized Rhyme Crew

Oh no
Here comes they homies in a van
Rolling 12 deep
And I'm thinking to myself how much longer will I be getting beat
The man behind me shouts out that's it I'm killing him
That's when I finally came to my senses and said I'm stealing then
I socked the man in his grill then I watched him drop
To the pavement
I had to run or I knew that I'd be gettin' popped
So now they on a chase hunt to try and capture me
Hoping to leave me dead like a menace to society
Now I finally realizing and that its true when God says
"Tomorrow's not promised to you"

Debuts in Zoroark: Master of Illusions

This Pokémon is fully evolved.
Voice actor Japanese English
As Celebi Rie Kugimiya

Celebi (Japanese: セレビィ Celebi) is a major character who appeared in Zoroark: Master of Illusions.

Prior to the movie, businessman Grings Kodai discovered Celebi in Crown City and used his Pokémon to attack and knock out the Time Travel Pokémon when it tried to escape through the Time Ripple. Kodai then touched the Time Ripple that was produced due to Celebi's time traveling, and as a result of this, he gained the ability to have powerful visions that show him the future. However, by touching the Time Ripple, he caused the flow of time to reverse in Crown City, destroying all of its greenery.

Twenty years later, Celebi returns to the city, unaware of the fact that Kodai wished to capture it in order to renew his ability to see into the future. While greeting some of the local Pokémon and making some of the greenery grow, it meets and befriends Zorua while the latter was searching for his mother, Zoroark, who was being threatened by Kodai. After calming a large group of angry wild Pokémon that were about to attack Zorua in retribution for what his mother was forced to do, Celebi agrees to assist its new friend in locating his mother. During their search, Celebi comforts a saddened Zorua by growing a patch of grass around him that reminded Zorua of his mother's fur.

Soon, Celebi finds itself and Zorua pursued by Kodai's minions. During the confrontation, Zorua tries to protect Celebi but is easily defeated. Kodai quickly captures Celebi and strangles it in order to force it to reveal the location of the Time Ripple to him. Zorua recovers and tries to fight again, only to be overwhelmed until Ash and company arrive and rescues them both. Celebi is left too badly hurt to fly, and thus it's up to Ash and the others to get it to the Time Ripple before Kodai. However, Kodai is quickly on their tail, forcing Dawn and Brock to stay behind to hold off Goone, but Kodai still close behind. Thinking quickly, Celebi hides in Ash's backpack, allowing Zorua (disguised as Celebi) and Karl's Bronzor to lure Kodai away.

Ash and Pikachu manage to get Celebi into the Pokémon Baccer World Cup Stadium, the location of the Time Ripple, but Kodai, having defeated and captured Zorua, arrives and disables the group with his Mismagius's Psychic. Zoroark arrives, but is likewise detained when Kodai threatens Zorua's life. Unopposed, Kodai then finds what he believes to be the Time Ripple, and begins to absorb its power, not caring if the disaster that befell Crown City years ago occurred again. The "Time Ripple" ends up being an illusion created by Zoroark and Kodai was nowhere near the energy field. Afterwards, Kodai was driven away by Zoroark and the guardians of Crown City, but Zoroark collapses from mortal wounds sustained from Kodai. As Zorua cries over his mother, Ash helps Celebi reach the true Time Ripple, allowing it recover its strength. Celebi then uses the Time Ripple's energy field to heal Zoroark, repaying Zorua for his kindness. Happy that Zorua and Zoroark are reunited and Kodai was defeated, Celebi makes the area's greenery bloom in celebration before finally departing for another time, with Zorua promising to be its friend forever.

In the credits, Celebi is last seen emerging from the Time Ripple and disappearing into the depths of a forest.

Personality and characteristics

Celebi was shown to be an extremely friendly and loving Pokémon. It developed a close friendship with Zorua and could usually be seen playing with him. Because of their closeness they both did their best to protect each other from harm.

Bedarra Island is looking for new island caretakers
Bedarra Island is looking for new island caretakers

Tropical paradise caretaker job up for grabs

NEW caretakers are needed to help look after one of the Great Barrier Reef's most romantic island destinations.

Homeowners on Bedarra Island, 10km off the coast of Mission Beach, have started advertising for live-in caretakers for the 6ha private property located on the eastern side of the island.

Bedarra, which is described as one of the region's most picturesque Great Barrier Reef islands, attracts honeymooners and romantic couples.

The caretaker position includes free solar-powered, fully-furnished single-bed accommodation.

East Bedarra Body Corporate chairman John Herbert described the job as "not arduous", but those applying needed to be physically fit, and have knowledge of petrol motors, as there was manual labour involved in maintaining the property.

"It's an isolated lifestyle, but you do get to meet people who come and stay on the island from all around the world," he said. Applications close next weekend and can be sent to

Ore Crusher puts riders through their paces

Martin Lazarski tops race

While the Ore Crusher appears to be an easy race on paper — a 6 km loop in the Cheekeye Fan area with just 300 feet of climbing per lap — it’s a deceptively difficult race with long false flats, root-y singletrack, and no real downhill sections where riders can rest.

Marty Lazarski posted the top time on the 36 km pro course Saturday, despite losing his chain in the first singletrack section. He chased hard to catch the lead group and by the second lap he was back in front. He completed the course in a time of one hour, 37 minutes and 19 seconds, averaging 22.2 km/h from start to finish.

By way of comparison, Lazarski finished second in the 67 km Test of Metal last year in 2:35:57 (one of two riders to break the record) for a pace of 25.8 km/h — about 3.5 km/h faster than the supposedly easier Ore Crusher course.

Squamish’s Dwayne Kress placed second in 1:38:26, followed by Kevin Calhoun in 1:38:52.

There were just three women in the Elite category. Ann Yew of Team Whistler placed first in 2:00:11, followed by teammate Linda Robichaud in 2:10:38. Karen Trueman of Victoria was third in 2:12:47.

Team Squamish factored heavily in the junior categories, with Maia Kilby doing two laps in female 14 to 15 in 45:03.61.

In female 16 to 17 Lauren Rosser of Team Squamish made three laps in 1:03:45, followed by Jocelyn Ramsden in 1:21:40 and Jocelyn Poirer-Hardy in 1:35:11.

In female 18 to 19 Kristin Von Bibber of Squamish finished four laps in 1:33:51, followed by Eden Imbeau of Team Squamish and Jenny Strong of North Vancouver.

In male 12 to 13 Mahon Lamont and Jack Iles of Whistler placed first and second with times of 42:56 and 47:07 respectively. Mason Moberg of Squamish was third in 58:58.

Quinn Moberg won the male 15 to 17 race in 34:50, followed by Owen Scully of Team Squamish in 35:14. Sam Morris of West Vancouver was third in 36:14.

In male 18 to 19 Paul Sales of Vancouver was first with four laps in 1:19:14, followed by Tom Rattray in 1:45:18.

Getting into the adult age categories, Squamish adventure racer Jen Segger won the 20 to 29 category with five laps in 1:48:06. Jeanine Ball of Vancouver was second in 2:05:07, followed by Catherine Gendron of Squamish in 2:09:40.

On the men’s side David Huntley of Duncan was first in 1:30:20, followed by Matt Law of White Rock in1:53:52 and Jonathan Aubry of Squamish in 1:44:10.

Posted on 2011.11.04 at 00:17
I don't know if it's still aired or not. But did you know that the Jerry Springer show was a right-wing think-tank? A lot of policy and GOP legislation were first generated there, along with toxic fish-heads. AND - that's where the whole TeaBagger movement started. The first TeaBaggers were created there and many many more were recruited from the audience, and shipped into Glenn Becke rallies, or guns-only toon hall meetings, or the progressive Madison protests, where up to 100,000 people were speaking out against the GOP war on UNIONS, while Fox news only filmed the TeaBaggers complaining about unions. Pretending that 100,000 people were complaining about unions. Although, some of those TeaBaggers stupidly were complaining about overpopulation, overcrowding, and their bunions. (And - an entire army of TeaBaggers was created to invade Cuba but they were poisoned to death by correxit at the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico, where their Walkers remain).

Many people once wondered how the FauX Network, home of FauX News, (a la, "THIS ISN'T THE MEDIA! THIS IS THE REPUBLICAN PROPAGANDA MACHINE!"), could ALSO air such "liberal" shows, like Jerry Springer, or 90210. (The correct term is actually, "LIBERTINE," which is related to, "ANARCHO-CAPITALISM," which is related to, "FEDERAL RESERVE POLICY." Well, it was a scheme to get people caring about the greater demons of our nature: Money, bickering, gossip, mockery, back-stabbing, and so on. They usurped the liberal idea of opening your arms to all diverse groups, and let loose a rabble of racists, and NAZIs, and exhibitionists, and sociopaths, and morons, and on and on, and more... So that no one could sleep with all the stressful stress going on. Eventually, Roger Ailes hoped, the American public would be induced to give birth to REPTILE CHILDREN, (goggle), who would be as functional as people who had had their frontal lobes lobotomised, except for the fact that their hind-brains and LIMBIC, (i.e., Reptilian), brains would so hyper functional that VOTING would eventually be easilly substituted by RAMPANT CANNIBALISM, and very few people would notice the difference.

And now we live in a world which is smoothly run by the zombie children of Jerry Springer. I say "smoothly" because rule-by-catastrophe" is actually the Libertarian definition of, "running smoothly." For example, the World Trade Center comes down, there is mass terror, and somehow it brings the country together in an orgy of flag-waving, phone-tapping, and sexual abuse by the TSA. And women become excited by the bulge in their boyfriends' underpants for entirely new reasons. And Abu Ghraib is imported into Oakland, California, where somehow it eventually leads to the re-election of Barack Obama - who becomes the greatest thing since THE ABORTION ISSUE, as far as Republicans are concerned. Yes, the propaganda now just writes itself. And everything is good in the world, seen through lizard eyes. And monoclonal zombots whistle away whilst they scrub Wikipedia of sensitive information, and replace "*lol*" and its derivatives, with the much more wholesome "*giggles*". Not really so much because it's more wholesome, but BECAUSE THEY CAN. And if that's not a higher moral imperative, I don't know what is.

Yes, so there's this OCCUPY girl who was thrown into a cold concrete solitary cell, left to crap herself, out in Oakland. All because we have all become the SPRINGER BORG. Goggle for the interview of James Coxx (?!) by some guy named Jacobs. And the Chief of the Oakland police comes out and blames the MAYOR for the police brutality. Well, the police in Albany, NY, (where Jerry Spring was never aired?), had no problem REFUSING to do the violent bidding or their city officials, with their political agendae TO PROTECT THE ZOMBIE LIZARD KINGS AND THEIR EGGS. But, in Oakland, the Chief is saying that a general order from the Mayor to, "clear the park," was why the police had no choice to use rubber bullets, (oh wait - hadn't they DENIED they used rubber bullets?), tear gas, and giant tickle feathers. And, similar to the 3 incidents of horny cops in WDC suddenly punching the Tranny apples of their eyes, some gop - I mean cop - hauls back and punches a femme gay guy in the face, for "refusing" to walk on a sidewalk (that was packed full of people). You can goggle for that viral video, too. Meanwhile the girl in the Oakland Abu Ghraib jail cell is pulled out and is being beaten and manhandled for not removing her shoes, and she's trying to tell them, in her best PeeWee Hermann voice, "How can I remove my shoes when you've got me by the arms?!" Well, aren't NAZIs the silliest things! Anyway, this police chief is explaining why the police are not at fault, AND HIS WHOLE SHPEEL IS COMPLETELY RIDDLED BY NONSENSE MUDDLED THINKING. You know, code words, flawed logic, insinuated blame, incoherent associations, implied snark, constrained "I'm better than you" pomposity, and so on. I don't have time to diagram this, and show how it was all clearly constructed ENTIRELY BY A BRAIN-STEM, but it was amazing and tragically sad. And, darn near just as he spoke, paid provocateurs were goading the police into more violence, down on the docks, Never daring to show their faces, like true OCCUPIERS. Oh, wait, what was that truism from the Jerry Springer show, "IF YOU'VE GOT NOTHING TO HIDE, THEN WHY DON'T YOU... [fill in the blank]." If you've got nothing to hide, then why should you care if we stand in your bedroom and watch you have sex? Why should you care if we subject you to water-boarding for the greater good? Um, and how about this: "WHY THE FUCK SHOULD WE CARE, RUSH LIMBAUGH, IF THEY RAISE YOUR FUCKING TAXES?!"

Why should we care? Because all our spindle cells have been shipped to China. Now what we want is what truly matters: CONTINUING TO APPEAR MORE RIGHT THAN ANYONE ELSE, which strangely requires and infinite supply of worthless money, and strangely results in a foolish tragedy of chair-throwing and hair-pulling.

People who throw up smoke - who step out and throw stones at individuals they don't even know - for no reason whatsoever, seeking only to draw people in and then BLAME THEM FOR THEIR OWN CRAP WHICH IS PROJECTED ONTO THESE OTHERS, well, of course, they are complete cowards who don't have a clue about the purpose of RESPECT. Who feel the right to react abusively - as in rape or sexual harassment (power) - when the cherished symbols of their egos, NOT THEIR ACTUAL SELVES OR BODIES, are felt to be attacked. So, make fun of Rush Limbaugh, who they TeaBagger types BELIEVE THEMSELVES TO BE, and suddenly they are pulling your hair like crazy little sissy girls. And down they go with one punch. I should know, I've kicked Republican bully ass in the past. AND I HAVE FUCKING CHRONIC FATIGUE SYNDROME! Anyway, these cowards tend to hide within the shadows of the mobs. But they are the first to throw stones. Now, why would that be? Because THEY ARE WITH SIN. Without fail, each and every one of them is trying to hide something in their personal lives. The are trying to distract attention, to prove to their own limbic minds that they are RIGHT RIGHT RIGHT, when in fact, somewhere in their own lives, THEY ARE KNOWINGLY BREAKING THE LAW. If only THE COMMON LAW - the COMMONS - COMMON DECENCY. But, usually, it's something more criminal.

And if these cowards have nothing to hide, well then, let's have their names, addresses, phone numbers, etc., and let's see how they feel about being INVESTIGATED.

Oh, that reminds me. The BANKSTERS are a lot like this, ya know, aren't they? What could THEY possibly have to hide, whilst calling us "USELESS EATERS," "PARASITES," or, "THE SMALL PEOPLE," and proceeding to bleed us straight through our wallets, and fill our heads with such Springer Zombie Logic as, "SHARED SACRIFICE," and, "AUSTERITY," "BECOME ONE OF US!"

And the criminals sing, "If you've got nothing to hide... If You don't have a job, BLAME YOU-SELF!"

NOTE - Aliens are actually humans from the future. Whereas having a limbic brain as big as a pseudopod, due to Springer-induced seizures, was one reason for the evolution of humans into the so-called "GREYS," a larger reason was the new medical practice was the chemical removal of all senescent body cells, genetically reducing people into looking like little big-eyed babies with that hyper-aging disease. Another cause was a diet consisting of nothing but clothes-drier lint. You would be able to read about all this in Wikipedia but it hasn't been written yet and when it is it will be sanitised, as per mentioned above. Also, bubble butts eventually disappeared from humanity due to all the butt cancer caused by sitting around too much. PS - Jesse Ventura's lawsuit against the TSA was just dismissed. Of course.

Oh, and here comes that war with Iran. Of course.

Welcome to the first home game of 2019, where we welcome newly-promoted Drybrook to Braywick. With 11 games left remaining, Maids currently sit in 4th place, just 5 points off the much-coveted playoff place, currently occupied by Barnstaple, who are still to come to Maids. 3rd place Ivybridge were defeated by tomorrow’s visitors at ‘The Mannings’, so all the boys will be wary of a side that is more than capable of upsetting the form book.

Back in September, in awful conditions, the Maids pack powered to victory, sealing a bonus point win, to prevail 29-7. However, with dry weather due, combined with the artificial pitch at Braywick, the dangerous Drybrook backline will be confident of an upset.

Player/coach, Tim Stevenson lines up at fly half for the visitors- an accomplished kicker and game manager, he will be vital to any success the Forest of Dean side might have in this match up. Ben Large at inside centre will skipper the side, whilst upfront Will Greenway in the second row, and Sam Peaper at 7 were standout performers earlier in the season.

For Maids, new signing, and former Championship flyer, Charlie Broughton continues at centre, but it’s another new addition we spoke to this week, Dylan Baptista. Baptista has joined the club mid-season, and the powerful winger, who also plays International rugby for Zimbabwe continued his fine try-scoring form, with a double against Cleve last week. Here’s what he had to say…

Name- Dylan Baptista

Nickname(s)- Denzel (from Only Fools and Horses), Big D, Thighs, Wendell Sailor.

Position(s)- Wing, not centre

Occupation- Priority Engineer Complaints Handler. Customer Service in a nutshell, getting shouted at.

Weaknesses- Fitting into the 11 shirt, making Longy laugh/talk/smile, catching, passing, general happy demeanour.

Strengths- running straight, male grooming, winning MoM based on looks, bench press, sniffing glue.

If you could be any of your teammates, who would you be and why? I’d be Andrew Darlington. I’d love to experience this ‘Turf Toe’ he claims to have, which miraculously appears every time we do fitness.

Which teammate would you least like to have over for dinner? Tom King- I’m not sure having a member of the EDL over for tea would go down too well with the family.

What hobbies do you have outside of rugby? I enjoy fishing trips and legal highs.

Tell us something we don’t know about you- I have a small scar on my face, from when I was attacked with a knife in a Staines nightclub.

What are your aspirations for this season? Help the club achieve history, by sealing a playoff spot, and have a sleepover at Big Ron’s house.

Laurence Leonard continues to play his final few games before Maidenhead’s finest, Theresa May, implements Brexit, and gets the little tinker booted out of the country, while Will Macaulay has escaped a recent driving ban, as he simply blamed Churchy. Andy Darlington was a doubt for the game, after brother Mark nearly forgot to wash his kit for him, but luckily Andy Berry stepped in, and left work early to help him out and then put him in the bath, in Mark’s absence. Lewis Jones, in his quest to get fit, has decided to take a break from rugby, his only form of exercise, while Myles Williamson has sadly been hampered with ‘Spade Elbow’, after his play date with Elio Mandozzi.

Heat of the Moment

Heat of the Moment is the last exhibition in the 2015 Radakovich 21st Century Award competition, juried by Arline Fisch and Jean Radakovich. Celebrating sculptural adornment and art of the 21st century, viewers are invited to try on artworks and reflect on the stylistic, technical, and cultural connections between the 20th mid-century modern masters and this century’s contemporaries.

Maja Houtman’s contribution for the exhibition was the brooch The Catch.

01.08.2015 – 10.10.2015 : FOLCWALD Gallery of Sculptural Art, Amherst (MA), USA

One element of cultural subterfuge is the classification of feminism: i.e. first wave, second wave, third wave, fourth wave, etc. By labeling it as such, it encourages women to “choose their favorite wave”. The result is that some end up describing themselves as feminist, because they don’t want to discuss the specifics of the various classifications. So the end result has been accomplished – she just called herself a feminist and, subsequently, associated herself with a leftist, non-traditional faction.

It’s the same as saying “I’m a third-wave communist” or “I’m a fourth-wave homosexual”. Either way, you’re still a communist or homosexual.

What “wave” of transvestite are you? First, second, third or fourth? Either way, you’re still a tranny.

Thus, language is one of the principal arenas in which empires rise and fall. And something as mundane as nomenclature becomes a contributing factory in the demise of a people.

green velvet cupcakes.

A few weeks ago I took my son to see green day, so that called for some GREEN VELVET CUPCAKES!

Basically to make these, take your favorite red velvet cupcakes, and swap out the red food coloring for green!

Make sure to top with cream cheese frosting!

plush bunny.

I made a variation of this pattern for christmas here, and I made another one, using regular fabric and an old sweater (for the ears) recently for my friend who had a baby. I recently got a new sewing machine and needed to break it in, and this was the perfect proejct. It takes about an hour to actally sew once you get the pieces cut and it turns out pretty darn cute! One day I will try making it from felt, like the actual pattern calls for, but for now its been fun seeing how the project comes to life using patterned fabric.

you can find the pattern here.

354. crocheted ocotpus.

This is my first experience with amigurumi. I find it REALLY hard to understand patterns. But I found this pattern on pinterest and as soon as I saw it I had my heart set on making it. One evening I just started reading it out loud and it made sense! Its basically just single crocheting in the round the entire time! Very very easy. I used a 5.5 needle, instead of the recommended 4.25 needle, so mine is a kind of like a giant squid. I worked on this over a few days as well. I didn’t do it in one night….but tonight I sewed it to together (very messily – need some work there) and now its complete. Its no where near as cute as the one in the photo, but I’m happy I was able to read a pattern and actually complete a project.  And as for those cute striped legs in the original pattern…. I tried it and it was NOT coming out cute for me. I definitely need some help with figuring out how exactly to change colors neatly.
I definitely see more of these kinds of projects in my future now that I have a pretty clear understanding of the stitches, and realize just how simple it is.

254. clothespin stegosaurus

Milo and I worked on this Stegosaurus…and had alot of fun doing so! Milo did a great job on the painting, don’t you think?!

192. bird mobile.

I’m really excited about this project!
I saw this on pinterest and followed the link and it looked like it was super easy to make! I started digging through my fabric scraps and instantly sewed the little birds. The directions call for sewing by hand, but I just used my machine and went slow around the curves. They turned out great! (the pattern for the birds can be downloaded from that link.)

I had to make a quick stop to home depot for the screw eyelets, which ended up costing $1.18. I took a stroll around the park to find a branch. I hot glued the birds to the branch. Screwed the eyelets into the branch and hung from the ceiling using fishing wire.

This would have been a great and much longer-lived idea for a mobile for milo’s room when he was a baby. I thought about hanging this in his room, but opted for hanging it above my computer in my office.  This was so fun to make and I’m really happy with it!

184. green juice.

Made this green juice tonight with the hopes to get some fruits and veggies in milo and IT WORKED! In his exact words…”mmmm, this is delicious.”

1 green apple
3 stalks celery
1 cucumber
5 pieces of kale
handful of green grapes

106. toddler pants.

Yet another creation from the people behind Meet Me at Mike’s.  This time these pants are from their other book, Sew La Tea Do, which also has lots and lots of things I want to sew. These books are due back at the library soon, so I better get to it!

I made these from a spongebob pillow case I got at the thrift store for about 45 cents. They fit milo perfectly. and they have pockets too! Making pants is fun!

105. dishwasher detergent.

I ran a load of dishes in the dishwasher this afternoon and finished up the current bottle of store bought dishwasher detergent…So I made some more.

1 Cup of Borax
1 Cup Washing Soda
1/2 Cup Kosher Salt
15 packets of unsweetened lemon kool aid.

 Mix all ingredients in a container and voila! dshwasher detergent!
Use 1 Tablespoon per load.
* i used some the next day, and it works great! everything came out clean and sparkly! yay!

75. felt shamrock.

Tonight I am not feeling so well, but I quickly made this felt shamrock pin based on this tutorial. Try it, its kind of fun…and I don’t even like st. patricks day…

emoji party.

Milo is turning 8 this year, and he wanted an emoji themed party! I created this invite a few weeks prior to the day.

emojiinvite copy.jpg

We had 22 kids come play broomball at the local skating rink. I made cake and cupcakes, and the goodie bags had emoji pez, plush emoji keychains and emoji fruit snacks packaged in a little yellow bag.

Milo will only eat cupcakes that I make, but loved this idea to turn cupcakes into a cake. 14 cupcakes fit on this tray, and I had to do a batch and a half of frosting to get it to cover the “cake” nicely. I used fondant for the eyes and smile. Then we had some poop cakes too. Both were a hit with the kids. some even wanted TWO cupcakes! I used recipes from vegan cupcakes take over the world

Processed with VSCO with c2 presetProcessed with VSCO with c2 preset

The party was chaos, but the kids had alot of fun!

halloween cupcakes.

Processed with VSCOcam with s1 preset

The last of the halloween posts!
Just wanted to share these fun cupcakes I made.

I used the chocolate recipe from vegan cupcakes take over the world, but can also be found here, along with some vegan creme cheese frosting. I decorated with gummy worms, oreos and skittles! (you can uses m&ms or reeses if you arent vegan)

Since you need the filling on the both sides for the owl eyes, thats where the dirt cupcakes came in.
On the left over side that didnt have the filling, i put these in a blender and made “dirt” then dipped the tops of the frosted cupcakes into the oreos – then crammed some gummy worms in there. These were of course, the first cupcakes the kids went to! They love their gummies.

The owl cupcakes, i just split the oreos, placed some skittles for the beak and eyes, (I used frosting to “glue” the eyes down) and spiked up the frosting at the top for ears.

funfetti cupcakes.

Nothing says happy birthday like funfetti cupcakes, am I right?? Tomorrow is my birthday, so I thought this recipe was fitting. I actually made these for my co workers birthday last week and they were a hit.
These just might be the most perfect vegan vanilla cake! you can find the recipe over here, these did NOT dissapoint!

I topped mine with vegan cream cheese frosting because its the best!
1/4 cup vegan creme cheese
1/4 cup earth balance
2 cups powdered sugar
1/2 tpsn vanilla extract

Beat all ingredients with a mixer for a few minutes until light and fluffy.

28. horchata cupcakes & a baby shower!

My friend Mandy requested my cupcakes for her baby shower today….One of her favorites are my horchata cupcakes. I basically just modified my go-to vanilla cupcake recipe a while back, after trying an horchata cupcake at swim cafe. These definitely are a crowd pleaser; vegans and non vegans seem to love them! They were definitely a hit at today’s baby shower….

Heres the recipe:  (makes 12)
1 cup vegan horchata milk
1 tspn apple cider vinegar
1/3 cup oil
3/4 cup sugar
2 tspn vanilla
1 1/4 cup flour
2T cornstarch
1/2 tspn baking soda
3/4 tspn baking powder
1 tspn cinnamon
1/4 tspn salt

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and prepare your cupcake liners.  Whisk the horchata with the vinegar and set aside for a few minutes.
Beat together the horchata, oil, sugar, vanilla in a large bowl. Sift in the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, baking powder, salt and cinnamon.
Don’t overmix, but mix to make sure there are no lumps. Pour into liners and bake 20-22 minutes.

1/4 cup cup earth balance
1/4 cup vegan cream cheese
1tspn vanilla
2 cups powdered sugar
1 tspn cinnamon (add more or less depending on how you want it!)

With a mixer, beat together the earth balance and cream cheese. Add the vanilla and powdered sugar and cinnamon and beat on high until light and fluffy.

And now here are some scenes from today’s baby shower. We kept the theme (moustaches!) a surprise, and she loved it.

I set up a mock/DIY style photobooth. Basically I put the camera on a tripod and brought the remote so mandy can take photos with all her friends. We used glitter moustaches as a prop. Kind of silly, but we had fun with it…

Open / Edit PSD files online without using Adobe Photoshop

All of us generally use Adobe Photoshop or a similar software program on our computers to open and edit PSD files. But there are times when you don’t have Photoshop or alternative software installed, but you still have a PSD to quickly work on. What do you do in such a situation?

Of course, installing a software is not something you would like to do at that time. you would look for an online alternative to do that. How about doing it with the help of an online app?

Online service to open PSD

The best way to treat a PSD without a software program is Pixlr, one of the services by AutoDesk, offering awesome features for free including not only opening and editing PSDs, but a bunch of important services also, like Quick Photo editing tools, Screen Capturing and image uploading and sharing.

Have a look on the features Pixlr editor provides:

  • Supports creating, editing, saving files in JPG, PNG, BMP, TIFF, PXD (Layered Pixlr file format, just like PSD) formats
  • Supports editing Photoshop documents (PSD), but to an extent. You may not apply or edit each and every feature as you do in Photoshop
  • Allows saving created / edited images on your Computer as well as directly to your Facebook, Flickr, Picasa or or Pixlr account library.
  • Provides power features like full Photoshop toolbar, time-saving shortcuts, history and undo-redo functions, multilingual support in 23 languages.

Pixlr is also available as a mobile app.
