Desucon Frostbite 2/3: Dem photos #1

I actually was too exited to wait anymore and I edited my photos right away after the con (but I decided to postpone this post so that the first one could be online a little longer before this one)!

I hadn't planned photoshoots for myself before the con and everytime it was "hey, could you take some photos of me?"
Happily I have awesome friends who took dem photos of me too :3
I really like some of the photos! I edited them using Photoshop CC that I downloaded to my sisters laptop..
Hopefully the colours ain't off as I have no idea when her screen has been calibrated..

Meiko (Vocaloid 2)
Stocking (Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt)
Marie Mjölnir (Soul Eater)

And the lovely photographers:

All edits have been made by yours truly!

Desucon Frostbite 1/3: The Convention

I decided to make three different posts about Frostbite; first one is about the convention, second one is just full of photos of my face costumes and the last post will be full of photos I took of ppl :D
(I still have to make post about the photoshoots I had with others at Tracon, but maybe after these I'll do that, haha)

I came to Southern Finland already on Wednesday and on Friday I left from my parents place to Lahti a little behind my schedule!
It didn't really matter, after getting myself to Lahti I changed into my costume (I wore my Meiko on Friday) and headed from my friends place to Sibeliustalo!

It was really strange that the convention place was so.. empty that evening, but Fridays have been more quiet anyways so.
I spent my Friday evening hanging out with friends, taking some photos and being photographed!
I also got to see the Green Room -gasp- and had really nice time there.

I did leave Sibeliustalo pretty early.

With Ninnu! :3
On Saturday I wasn't late (well, that much).. I had made plans to photoshoot mviolet really early that morning so when I came to Sibeliustalo we left to photoshoot her costume right away..
Then I went to change fully in my costume (I was missing my wig) and after some time around the con I went outside to photoshoot Ninnu (and her gay lov- I mean friends).. I had also made plans with Yumi that I would be taking photos of the Meridian group and after the shoot with Ninnu it was time to photoshoot them!
After that is was almost time for me and Yumi to go working, but she was so nice and took some really lovely photos of me infront of the magical black wall -gasp-! Thank you
Before the actual photoshoot photos have a picture of me with the lovely Ilona! :3

About me being one of the judges at the Hall Cosplay contest I just have to say that I really enjoyed the experience!
As it was my first time being a judge I was really nervous before it but as the judging started my nervousness went away!
Thank you to Ilona for having me as one of the judges and for the other judges; Yumi, Tikli, Fukka and Yoki! Also thanks to all the contestants! :3

After judging we got to see NCC preliminaries and as always I took some stage photos (those will be seen in the last post with the photoshoot pictures). Then there was the Hall Cosplay contestants and AKB0048 show! That was really good, at least I liked it a lot :3

Then it was time for us to announce the results for Hall Cosplay..

On stage! (I hate my chin, ugh)

After us they announced the winners for NCC preliminaries!
And the winner and Finland's third representative is Päivi Asikainen! Congrats!
After seeing her stage show I was so amazed (she was so good as Jack - oh god!) and sure that she is going to win and she did!

After the contests I saw some of my friends and I was soooo hungry. We ended up ordering pizza and after eating we also checked out Café Ichigo as a friend was working there as a maid! Then I changed into casual clothes and enjoyed the evening party!
(Also I missed the panel "From NCC to ECC to WCS – international cosplay competitions and why they're nothing like those at home" even though I had planned on going to listen it..)

With Minna and Anniina!
After waking up on Sunday morning I could already feel the conflu.
Also I slept longer that I had originally planned (or not planned) and missed the Chobits-lecture (or panel? Anyways) I wanted to go to listen ;__; Well, I'll see it later on online (hopefully)!

Then I ended up taking photos of the same Meridian group as Saturday and after that got some pics taken of my Marie!
After the shoots it was already 3 p.m. and I decided it was time for me to leave!

Starting my way home! No eye patch as I had to drive :')
I really liked the convention even though I didn't go to panels/lectures (It wasn't my fault that I was late - or was it). Also the atmosphere was way nicer at this K-18 convention than in the regulars. I have nothing against ppl who are underage (my sister couldn't come to Frostbite due to that that she is still just 17 y-o) but it was really nice that no one was shouting and that there was enough air inside and space to walk!
Also there wasn't any "Hug Me!" or "Rape Me!" signs and for some reason I really enjoyed that too.
I actually hope that they will keep Frostbite K-18!

But now that's pretty much it about the convention!
If there's something on your mind just leave a comment!
Also if there's any of Hall Cosplay contestants who read this post and are wishing for feedback you can leave a comment with your e-mail or e-mail me at:
senni [dot] kallio [at] gmail [dot] com

See you soon with the photoshoot pictures!

(Ps. My blog has had over 100 readers now for sometime and I have tried to come up with something nice and special to celebrate it, but haven't.. So any ideas are welcome! :3)

WIP - Stocking (School Uniform)

(Sorry for the phone quality already, for some reason I took all of the pics with my phone instead of my camera.. whoops?)

When I decided to do this costume I already had these things:
Under skirt
Dark blue cotton fabric

First I bought the white shirt and the fabrics for my socks..
(In the middle photo is the sock fabrics+skirt fabric!) The shoes I have bought about one year ago from flea market and just cut off one extra strap and voilà!

First thing I actually did was cutting the skirt fabric! I also had to buy organza fabric to make into ribbon.. ugh I hated the cutting as I needed about 10 meters of it! Then I sewed the ribbons into their places.. Also I sewed ~19 meters yellow ribbon to it before pleating the skirt and sewing the zipper etc..

Before finishing the skirt I did work on the socks! I just cut it wide enough to go around my thight and then sewed the black and blue pieces together! Then I just pinned the fabric around my leg and got the pattern for the other sock.

Aftet the socks I finished my skirt and made the tie. For that I just made my own pattern out of my mind and sewed it together by hand! :D

Here you have most of the finished pieces~

Last things I made was the "badge" and I put on two yellow buttons to the jacket :3
Oh! I also cut my wigs bangs a little shorter and made the hat thingie!

But that's pretty much all I have to say about Stocking! It was pretty easy to make, but I have to say that I really like my socks♡ I already thought of making the regular gothic lolita outfit of hers just because my socks :33

(I'm so happy that I got to make this post before Frostbite! See you there in just couple of hours! Woop!)

Egyptian's deny plans for dress code for tourists

A representative of the Egyptian government has reacted angrily to rumours that it plans to enforce a dress code upon tourists visiting the country. It has been reported in some Russian media that Hurghada residents have demanded that tourists be forbidden from wearing shorts, swimsuits and miniskirts in the city's streets.

The spokesman said 'this is not true and this issue has not be considered. This is a stupid and unbelievable story.'

Stories such as this could be damaging to Egypt's fragile economy where tourism accounts for more than 11% of Egypt's GDP, 40% of the country's non commodity exports and over 19% of foreign currency revenues.

Over 10% of Egypt's labour force is also employed in the tourism industry.

Top Twenty Missing Features of Windows Phone 7

Published by at

Thanks to the Mango update, Windows Phone 7 was transformed from a glorified feature phone platform to a fully featured 'smartphone' operating system. I say that in inverted commas because, for me, a true smartphone has to be able to be used independently of a desktop or laptop computer, which in theory disqualifies Windows Phone 7. I digress though, because however you define a smartphone, Windows Phone 7 has come on in leaps and bounds.

I was very hard on Windows Phone 7 in its 'NoDo' era, and I was still the resident All About Windows Phone sceptic after Mango was released. Even so, I have happily been using Windows Phone 7 as my primary smartphone OS for nearly six months. Therefore, despite all the deficiencies I'm about to detail, I'm getting by on a day to day basis. That's fine, it means Windows Phone 7 is maturing and it is 'good enough' for most people, but the likes of you and me are not happy with 'good enough' – we see the potential for being even better and it hurts to see it not happening.

Here are my top twenty (yes, twenty!) wishes for future features in Windows Phone.

People Hub

1. Adding and removing people from social network accounts.
When viewing Twitter updates that mention the username of someone you'd like to 'follow', tapping the name links you to their profile page in Internet Explorer. From there you can 'follow', but you have to wait for Microsoft's servers to catch up with the change. Also, when someone is being particularly noisy on Twitter, it's justifiable to unfollow them; except you can't on Windows Phone 7, without going out into the browser again. Falling back to the browser totally breaks the otherwise holistic user experience of the People Hub.

Also, there's no way to search for users on LinkedIn or Facebook, so again you have to fall back to the web or a third party application. As I've said before, what is the point of the People Hub if we have to break out into other applications to plug the gaps in its functionality?

2. Old style retweets or quoting tweets.
The People Hub supports Twitter's native retweet method, which is great. However, sometimes there is a justifiable need to quote a tweet with an added comment – even if Twitter itself has seemingly declared some sort of holy war on the good old "RT".

3. See what people are replying to.
While the People Hub lets you see replies to your tweets, via tapping on your updates in the "What's New" section, it doesn't work in reverse. That is, there's no People Hub equivalent of the "In Reply To" link.  This makes conversation tracking much more of a drawn out process than it should be.

4. Mark tweets as spam.
The other annoyance when going through your Twitter replies in the People Hub is finding Twitter spam. Every other Twitter client lets you flag it as spam, but the People Hub doesn't.

5. Mark tweets as favourites.
Yes, this is probably a less important function, but it is also very versatile. The Favourites function is used for all sorts of reasons, because it's Twitter's generic flagging system. Some people use it as a built-in answer to Read-It-Later or to send tweets to Google Reader, and some even use it for sentimental reasons.

6. Read from the bottom up.
If you're someone who wants to read everything on Twitter, rather than just dipping in and out, People Hub may not work for you, as it shows everything in reverse chronological order (though to be fair, most other clients and itself does the same).

7. Twitter Lists.
This is another feature not included with People Hub. Lists provide a great way to filter users and to focus on a particular category of content. Twitter lists could be integrated by listing them alongside the People Hub groups.

8. Integration
I admit this is a niche use. However, the link shortening service provides excellent analytics on how many clicks your links are getting. However, we're unlikely to see this happen given that Twitter has its domain, and Microsoft has just introduced its domain. After all, it would make far too much sense to use a single independent service instead of having multiple proprietary systems (Ed: sarcasm alert!)

9. Flickr Integration.
This might be better put in a Picture Hub category, but.... Flickr is a social network too – it's a popular widely used photo sharing service, and the People Hub would benefit from photographic updates from Flickr just as it does from Facebook. Then again, Microsoft owns shares in Facebook and not Yahoo! (Flickr's owners), and Facebook actually handles more photos than Flickr, so we can see why Microsoft chose as it did.

People Hub Groups
People Hub Groups

Core Applications

10. A black theme for Email.
One of the changes Mango introduced was themes. As well as changing the colour of tiles, you can have a black or white background. All of the core applications respect your chosen theme except for Email (and Web, for obvious rendering reasons!), which burns battery power away with bright white pixels on the AMOLED screens of the Lumia 800 and 900.

11. Pinch to zoom on Calendar's month view.
The Calendar application has an elegant design and neat looking month view. However, form has gone before function, as you can't actually read any text on the month view. We need pinch to zoom so we can close in on specific days.

12. Multiple lines on the Calendar tile.
Calendar has a massive full-width 'Live Tile'. However, it is neither very live, nor does it display much content. In fact, it only shows one appointment at a time. An utter waste of space, in the all of the literal and vitriolic ways this can be said.

13. Word count in Word.
The built-in copy of Word for Windows Phone 7 compares favourably with third party word processors on other platforms. However, if writing is important enough to your job that you're prepared to do it on a mobile phone, chances are that you will need to know how many words you've written. For an unfathomable reason, Microsoft has seen fit to omit this function from both Windows Phone 7 Word and Office Live Word on SkyDrive.

14. Pasting formulae in Excel.
Spreadsheets have one primary role – to repeatedly calculate tabulated data. Doing this effectively requires the ability to copy and paste formulae while maintaining relative cell references. Windows Phone 7's version of Excel can't do this.  I was doing it more than a decade ago on Psion palmtops and on every smartphone I've had since!

15. Bookmark Sync.
Even though many of us have long since moved on from Internet Explorer on the desktop, it's actually now a great (desktop and mobile) browser – which is just as well, because it's the only browser for Windows Phone 7. I would have expected some sort of cloud synchronisation for bookmarks via SkyDrive given the emphasis of cloud integration on Windows Phone 7, if for no other reason than to encourage the use of Internet Explorer on the desktop.

All white email
All white email

General Functionality

16. Select multiple images.
When using third party applications to transfer images via the built-in gallery view, it's infuriating and tiresome to go through the selection and upload process for each photo. Multiple selections shouldn't be too difficult to implement.

17. Video sharing with third party applications.
We all know Windows Phone 7 denies you the freedom to browse files on your device. Browsing images and videos in the Picture Hub is as close as we can get to a file manager. However, there is a seemingly arbitrary limitation for third party apps which excludes videos when browsing for images to upload.

18. Deep linking into core applications.
One of the best aspects of live tiles is the ability to link into specific parts of an application. However, applications can only deep link to themselves. This is a particular problem for developers who are trying to make a better calendar tile (see above) – they are hamstrung by being unable to link into the built-in Calendar application.

19. Separate ringer and music volume levels.
This is a subtle one – if you reduce your volume while playing music, that volume level applies to the ringer volume too, which can lead to missed calls. While it's good to have the simplicity of just one volume level, I think some intelligence needs to be applied.

20. Inconsistent Multitasking.
Saving the best 'till last, we have Mango's implementation of 'multitasking'. This feature alone transformed Windows Phone 7 into a usable operating system, though it still has some quirks. For instance, as mentioned vociferously by Steve in his recent rant, you can return to the state you left an application in by using the 'Back' task switcher, but if you use the application's live tile, its state is lost and it restarts. Furthermore, some applications show up multiple times in the task switcher, reflecting when you left them for another application.

Reviews on Alliance Car Sales

Carra W. | 2014-01-08

I vote Alliance as the best car dealership in the twin cities, and no, I am not affiliated  with and/or being paid to say this by the company. We were looking to purchase a new SUV to brace Minnesota's polar vortex and these guys have been nothing but helpful, honest, and professional. This is not your typical car dealership, and it exceeded my expectations. Ask for Dave, he is a good guy. Two thumbs up!

Patrick S. | 2013-12-03

Let me put it this way. I took the time to fly up from AZ and buy a car here and drive it back. Even though they are used rentals, for the most part, they have decent milage and in nice shape. I did a lot of comparison shopping with Enterprise, Craigslist and major dealers and couldn't beat the prices. Gus aka Dave, was a good guy to deal with.

Our shopJammer Accessories

Jammer Accessories

All of us have heard about spy activities, as well as the fact that our governments, rivals, foes want to get all information about us, including our private data, track our location, observe our activity and take advantage of all info got through some hidden bug cameras, video recorders, etc. Just because this fact a lot of people nowadays purchase different jammers in order to be protected from all these gadgets. If you are a possessor of any type of jammer (GMS, GPS, WiFi, Audio Recorder, Video Recorder, X radio, LoJack, 3G/4G blockers or another one) and your device is broken, you do not have a need to buy a new one and waste your money. You may easily repair it by purchasing a necessary accessory or a broken jammer part.

To purchase and handle own jammer is a very wise step and excellent choice. It means that you appreciate your privacy and want your rights not to be violated by someone, especially competitor, rival or enemy. It means that you want all your private information to be kept in secrecy, as well as not to be tracked, recorded or followed. So the usage of jammeris justified.

You should remember that you may be subject to surveillance even if you do not have a hunch about that. That’s why radio frequency blockers may come in handy if you want to protect yourself from the undesired intervention into private life. But surely devices can fail and be broken and you need to decide whether to buy a new jammer or repair the previous one. We consider that if the previous blocker can be repaired, it should be repaired. Now you do not need to spend your money on buying a new jammer, you may spend money on buying another thing which is required more. That’s why we are happy to offer you perfect choice of jammer parts and jammer accessories. We guess that you may find here all the necessary parts which were broken in your type of jammer, repair it and use it for a long period of time.

Jammer Accessories Delivery is carried out international courier service DHL, free shipping (Check the list of countries for free shipping). You can pay by any convenient manner specified in the section "Payment"

Note: Mobile signal jammers may not be permissible to import into certain countries due to licensing of broadcast signals or other restrictions. Please check your country's telecommunications regulations before placing your order. We will adjust the CDMA / GSM / DCS / PCS for you base on your country signal frequency.

Jamming range depends on the signal strength from various sources, as well as local environment conditions.

Important Notes for Jamming Distance: The jamming distances we mentioned on website are for customer's reference only. The actual jamming distance will be varied depending on the signal strength and the use location and if full charges, etc.

Important Notes for Portable Jammers with No Cooling Fan: Do not use the jammer when it is charging, or it will burn the jammer as it has no built-in fan. If because of this factor due to the broken of the jammer, the customer will lose the authority of free repairation.

The Big 3-0

This past weekend was the official celebration of my sister's birthday. It was a wonderful weekend filled with family, friends, food, and of course wine. As you'll recall from the invites, (Sealed With A... Fleur-de-lis?) my sister is a fan of any and all things purple. For this particular tablescape, she opted for gold as the accent color.

You know you've done well when the client cries in disbelief- happy client, happy designer. Happy Birthday Tiffany!

From The Heart

When it comes to holidays, my FAVORITE part is opening cards from my loved ones with thoughtful sentiments inside. Take this a step further- a HANDMADE card with thoughtful sentiments inside. Because I had some free time in early February (I say laughingly) I took the time to make my Valentines this year. I can't take credit for this idea, as it was my dear friend Elizabeth who suggested we turn our Saturday lunch date into a craft date instead.

Elizabeth and I cruised the aisles of Michael's carefully- inspecting each shelf to make sure we weren't missing out on something fabulous to help us create our holiday masterpieces.
We spent $26 on supplies and ended up with 16 handmade Valentines (not all pictured here).

Our favorite "couples card"

Our favorite "singles" card

Our favorite "little tike" card

Below I have provided a coupon to Michael's to make your Valentine's Day crafting that much more affordable.
Happy Valentine's Day to all my readers!

Maximum Ride, the Manga 2

I managed to go to the library, although weirdly, I didn't actually have much "school books" to go and find and borrow.... But I did manage to find quite a lot of books that I've been intending to read.

One of them is the Maximum ride manga. It's drawn by a Korean mangaka, so the illustrations are good. The story, as I've mentioned before, is true to the book, so I'm really happy.

The second book is quite cool, since there's a character makeover in it. There's actually not much to say, since I can't really talk about the graphics (because I don't have the suitable vocab for it), and the story, well, James Patterson is a good writer, and I've always enjoyed the series.

Well, I am a bit disturbed by the latter Maximum Ride novels which are beginning to be OOC for me, although that may be because I've been away from the fandom for so long. An 'evil' Angel, even though it's been hinted at from the start, is still creepy.

And Fang can't die! (A rather big spoiler for the novel Fang: A Maximum Ride novel). And he can't leave Max either (fangirl at heart)

But still.... I'll be reading the stories. But I'm probably making a gradual switch to Anthony Horowitz (sp?), since I really love the Alex Rider series. I want to read and watch I Am Number Four now(:

Should I "deface" my books?

I just got my EE book The Man Within from yesterday (because I can't find it in Singapore), and today, I managed to finish analysing it today.

However,before I actually started annotating in my book, I was struck with a (fairly long) moment of hesitation. The book I received seemed so pretty, and so clean (because I waited so long for it), that I really didn't want to deface it.

And because this year, I know two people (a teacher and Mong), who refuse to "deface" their book. Mong suggested that I just write in a separate notebook. However, I don't feel like I've actually studied the book until I've written/underlined/highlighted it.

So... What should be done?

After agonising over it, Esther gave me the best advice, which was "do what makes you happy in the long run", so, I just went ahead and started highlighting. I feel so happy now, cause I feel like I've properly studied the book(:

Alice in Wonderland And Philosophy

I was early for robotics on Tuesday so I went to the library to (hopefully) find EE-related stuff rather than stay by myself in the room. While I didn't find anything directly related to my EE, I did find this book: Alice in Wonderland and Philosophy; curiouser and curiouser. It's a series of essays edited by William Irwin (series editor) and Richard Brian Davis.

It's actually an interesting read. While I have read books inspired by Alice in Wonderland (such as the King in the Glass... at least, I think that's the name); I haven't actually read the book, or even thought about it in a vaguely literary way. I suppose it's because I never did manage to make sense of the disney movie, which I probably saw when I was too young to comprehend.

But this book does introduce a lot of interesting ideas (such as Alice in Wonderland being a metaphor for a drug trip, although I agree with the author that that is probably an overeading), notably, the concept of jam-yesterday-jam-tomorrow but never jam today. It makes a lot of sense as to why experiences (such as school) seem so unpleasant now but are fun/enjoyable before we start school, when we finish school.

Another, more important 'lesson' I took away was the idea of a social contract. A social contract is simply an unspoken agreement between members of society to behave a certain way. Because Alice is not a member of Wonderland, she continually rejects and breaks their social contract. I was reading it when I realised that this was how I could tie my new EE topic together. I was looking at the idea of repeated betrayal in two characters, but couldn't really really see what was going on. But now I realise, that they are, in effect, breaking the social contract between them and society. With this focus, I can probably do an EE that (hopefully) will not have to change again.

I feel like reading Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass now, but I guess it'll have to wait. EE calls.

Grimm's Fairy Tales

I think I mentioned before that I was reading Grimm's Fairy Tales on my iPad, and I finished it!! The nice thing about reading fairy tales (or short stories), is that it's easy to put it down once you finished a segment, which is good since I can't spend all my time reading for fun.

And an added bonus is that from the fairy tales, some of which I've not heard of before, Euge and Sippy are interested in fairy tales. It started when I told Eusebius fairy tales as a bedtime story, and I guess Euge was listening as well, because then she began to request for fairy tales too! This is really fantastic, because fairy tales will really broaden your imagination, and their stories are more interesting than most of the shows/cartoons.

And from this, you can really see their characters. I was telling the story "Iron Hans" which introduces the plot through disappearing hunters. When I got to the end of the story, Sippy kept asking me about the hunters, and why the story had them if they didn't plan to talk about it in the end. This is actually impressive, it shows that he's analysing the story..... Maybe he's going to be a future Lit student(:

Some of the fairy tales her are familiar, some have a twist while others are completely unknown to me. I think it's really great, since it can improve one's writing from reading them (I hope).

And now, I'm thinking that after familiarising them with fairy tales, I really really want to introduce them to Chesterton, well, specifically, the Ethics of Elfland chapter in Orthodoxy. I think it's a good way to introduce them to an alternative viewpoint of fairy tales.

The New Birth Order Book

Thanks to Euge being in MG Secondary, I managed to get her to borrow The New Birth Order Book by Keven Leman, which is scarily accurate.

It talks mainly about how your birth order can affect your character, and quite a lot on first born's and perfectionism. Actually, the traits that he gives to characterise each birth order is really accurate, I can more or less guess who is which birth order.(:

One criticism I saw on was that he spent too much time talking about his childhood. But I thought it was really interesting, and that it actually illustrated how birth order works better. After all, what's more persuasive than a real live example?

And one more good thing is that he's a Christian, so nothing in the book contradicts the tenets of Christendom, which makes me trust his findings/opinions even more(:

Now, I feel like reading his other book: The First Born Advantage.

I'm super busy this week with too much schoolwork, so all my posts will be way too short. But really, go read his books!

Hamlet: The Manga Version

I was in the school library today, desperately looking for Literature books for my -doomed- EE, when I came across a Manga version of Shakespeare's Hamlet. While I did know that it existed, I've never read it before. So, when given the choice between Richard IV and Hamlet, I decided to go for Hamlet. Now I know where all the quotes are from. Even "Alas poor Yorick!" Shakespeare really is one of the most quoted authors of all time!

And while initially, it seemed a bit awkward, that faded really fast. The graphics are really good, and I actually understood the plot! Having learnt that Shakespeare is meant to be seen, not just read, I think the manga gives a good telling of the Bard's play.

Although, it was a little bit weird that the play was set in 2107, in a high-tech world. But it didn't give any thematic concerns and it was really fun to read.(:

Go and read it! (And the whole series!)

The Other Two Books(:

Well, I mentioned yesterday that I managed to read 2 more books, so I'll just talk about them now before I forget. Although, I don't have any more books to read, and I can't read because of more EE problems....):

Alright, the first book I read was At Home in Japan by Rebecca Otowa. She's an Australian who married a Japanese and became the matriarch of an old-fashioned Japanese house. Normally, I'm very suspicious of such books, partly because I don't really believe that Westerners can understand Japanese culture, plus, most of the time, they sound condescending. But this book, just proved me wrong (the exception that shattered the rule).

The authoress sounds friendly and willing to learn, in addition, the book has so much information about traditional Japanese living. While she doesn't praise everything, neither does she condemn everything, she sounds real and therefore, likable. In fact, I agree with some of her opinions, such as the patriarchal society in Japan, which makes me really interested in the book.

The next book I read, which is just as good, is called Faust Eric by Terry Pratchet. I've stated so many times how much I love his books, especially the discworld series. This is one of the Rincewind book, and Leonardo Da Quirm plays a surprisingly big role. The book is sort-of-but-not-really parody of the book Faust, and Pratchet even makes the demons likable O.o

This book, in fact, reminds me of another book I saw in the library, with the same theme. I can't remember the title, but it's a twitter version of the classics. I have to remember to borrow it from the library next time(:

The Copper Scroll (Joel Rosenberg)

Hey(: Just a quick post. I've actually finished three books, but I want to post about this book first (cause it's so good).

While I've been trying to read this series in order, I don't really know anything, except that The Last Jihad was the first book in the series. (And the Last Jihad was interesting to read in Church, mainly because of the church)

Anyway, back to topic. The Copper Scroll is based on real events, and there really was a copper scroll found. But, unlike the book, the treasures mentioned in hasn't been found yet. But I suppose that's why the book is fiction and not reality.

Anyway, the premise of the book is that after a host of nations have gathered around Israel to destroy it, the Lord sent an earthquake to destroy the armies. OPEC has been destroyed and the newly formed Israeli oil company is not supplying most of the world's oil, making Israel richer than ever.

Meanwhile, Jon Bennect is going to marry (in the book, marries) the Erin McCoy, although they are no longer working for the president.

The story is actually more of a high speed chase, with really interesting fight scenes. But the only thing is, I cannot remember who some of the characters are, so the betrayal doesn't quite resonate as much with me. But I shall be going back to the library to get more of this series(:

Chick Lit.... or not?

I don't know why, but I haven't been very regular with posting, so now I have three books to review at one go. Not that I mind(:

But when trying to to find a unifying thread for three apparently disparate books, I realised some/most/all of them may be classified as Chick Lit by some. Now, I'm not a fan of fluff, but still, I wonder what counts as literary. This is probably linked to the problem of finding suitable EE books that won't get rejected by IBO but that's beside the point. I shall just cut to the chase and review the three books (not in order read).

The first book is The Catherine Lim Collection. Catherine Lim is a famous Singaporean authoress, although I don't really favour local books. But, this was lent to me, so, being a bibliophile, I decided to read it. There are four books in this collection, The Serpent's Tooth (a novel), They Do Return, O Singapore! and The Woman's Book of Superlatives (all short story collections). While I don't really like The Serpent's Tooth and They Do Return, it's more because of the trite way she deals with religion. I have the feeling she's either Buddhist turned Agnostic/Atheist or Buddhist. But the way she seems to trivialise Christianity doesn't sit well with me. And I find that in her novel, apart from the protagonist, there doesn't seem to be much in the way of character developement. Of course, that's just my opinion.

I find her short stories much better, mostly because you don't need to develope charcter, and she can really capture the essence of the story better than in a long novel. The Woman's Book of Superlatives is Ok, but not that outstanding (to me), I much prefer O Singapore! and I'll be recommending it to others. Inside, she pokes fun at all things Singaporean, and actually manages to shed light on Singaporean society. One of the funniest stories are 'Kiasuiam: A Social-Historico-Cultural Perspective' and ' "Write, Right, Rite'; Or 'How Catherine Lim Tries To Offer Only The Best On The Alter Of Good Singapore Writing' "

The next book is "A Countess below the Stairs" by Eva Ibbotson, and I've actually read it before. But it was so enjoyable I just read it again. I really really enjoy Eva Ibbotson's work, ever since I read Journey to the River Sea. There's something really likeable about her heroines, and her writing makes reading an immersive experience for me. Her characterisation is really well done too, and I can really imagine people like that in real life.

The final book is Left Neglected by Lisa Genova, the author of Still Alice. Still Alice (to digress a little bit), is a book about a lady professor trying to cope with dementia. It's an immensely touching story, and I remember crying while reading it. Left Neglected, isn't what you think it is, since the title is a pun. The book isn't about someone being left alone, it's about a successful career woman who gets Left Neglect after a car accident. Left Neglect is apparently a real condition, where the concept (and reality) of Left simply doesn't exist for the sufferer. This novel is also really well done, and the ending is happy but believable.

All in all, three really enjoyable books(:

Piano Lessons: A Memoir by Anna Goldsworthy

I finished one really inspiring book today called Piano Lessons: A Memoir. You see, my Grade 8 piano exam is coming up in 3 weeks and I'm really nervous, especially this is my second time taking the exam. So Aunty Florence lent me this book to "inspire" me to practice.

Well, it worked.

While I'm not the most musically inclined of people (I seriously cannot interpret the feeling in a piece), this book still inspires me to practice hard. Anna (the protagonist and authoress), seems to be like me, wanting to do things absolutely correct (although she can see the 'story' in the pieces). And I saw that in the end, she could only play well when she let go of her nervousness/controlling and let the emotions flow through her.

Now, I'm gonna try to emulate that.

I'm sorry, but I need to go now, I've got an awful migraine and so many things to do....

Building a library

I just finished a book called "How to form a library, 2nd ed". It's a fairly interesting book, and raises some points that are worth consideration. Although, the irony is that this book is on ebook format. (:

One point that I agree on is that "special care must be taken in the choice of books, for upon that alone depends the value of the library". It makes sense to me, because while it is possible to have a library full of comics (not that I don't want that too), if it's only comics, than there's not much worth as say, a library with only novels (I mean Literature). But the best libraries (to me), have a good mix of everything, novels and non-fiction, comics and concordances.

Another illuminating point that was made was that "it is vain to go on the principle of collecting books that people ought to read, and afterwards trying to coax them to read them. The only practical method is to begin by supplying books that people already want to read, and afterwards to do whatever shall be found possible to elevate their reading tastes and habits". While I do try to get my sisters to read, it doesn't always work. But if I get them books that they like (like Sarah Dessen for Euphe), then they naturally read more. And to my surprise, Euge even finished the 13 1/2 lives of Captain Bluebear.

The only thing I don't quite like about the book is that most of it are lists of books that should be in the library (although the author admits that it is not the be all end all list). But to me, it does take up space in the book, and I feel that in building up a personal library (although the book was addressing both public and private libraries), what matters most is that you buy books you like, or you will never read the books you have anyway.

Over the Chinese New Year 2011

It's officially the year of the rabbit!

But unfortunately, I haven't read any rabbit themed books. And although I went to the library recently, I really can't remember much of the books I read (which shows how interesting they were).

So let me see, over the past few days, I read a few ebooks. Including The Brothers Grimm, which made me realise that lots of fairy tales have skewed morals, like one that celebrates the "cleverness" of a maid that successfully gets away with drinking her master's beer and eating his 2 roasted chickens.

And there was a really interesting one called "Literary Taste: How to form it", what was interesting was how it advocated building a library. While I'm not going to take the list wholeheartedly and buy everything (I do have my own list of books to buy), it's interesting how he says that by putting away a small amount of money each week and buying inexpensive copies, it's easy to build up a good library in a short period of time.

As for one of the library books that I can actually remember, The Art of Discworld is the one. It's not strictly a book, but more like a whole collections of illustrations, but it's differentiated by the commentary. It's really entertaining, and like the book says, makes the "movie" of Discworld come alive. And the pictures were almost spot on as to how I imagined the characters to look like.

Alright, I'll talk more tomorrow (I hope)

The Killer's Art by Mari Jungstedt

I've finished one book today, apart from going to the library and even finished my BM IA analysis. All in all, a very productive day. This book, The Killer's Art is by a Scandinavia author, which is the first time (I can recall), that I read a book by a European author.

To digress a little, I'm really glad that I studied Siddhartha last year. This is actually a little relevant, because in Siddhartha, I studied about Freud and Jung, and learnt how to pronounce their names. Now, look at the author(ess) name again? Yup, it's Jungstedt, so I was pretty happy that I could pronounce most of her name(:

The book is, on the whole, well written, and by that, I mean that the mystery is well done, and kept me guessing til the end, yet, it made sense, with no unbelievable plot twists. It's apparently part of a series, since it says "an inspector Knutas series", and it's actually interesting enough that I want to go and look for the other books in the series.

The only thing I don't like about this book is the homosexuality. But unlike other books (like The Book of Lost Things), this is actually integral to its plot, and so, I suppose it could be somewhat excused. But I really really wished that it wasn't there, although right now, I can't think of any alternative plot.

Ranking the Power 5 Football Conferences after week 1

With the new 4 team playoffs starting, conference strength is going to scrutinized more than ever. You think SEC chest pumping was bad before you haven’t seen anything yet. Their fans overdo it, no question, but having the other teams in your conference do well especially out of conference matters. In addition there will be a sizable chunk of change for conferences that have a playoff participant ($6 Million) and a team selected for a non-playoff Access bowl ($4 Million per team). That’s extra $$$ outside of your power 5 contract bowls.

So if you root for your school to have less money then so be it. I don’t understand it though.  That’s why this year we are going to ranking each conference against each other on a weekly basis.

We’ll give each conference a relative strength value 1-10.

1) SEC – 9.5

The SEC West is a monster. Alabama, Auburn, Texas A&M, and LSU are all excellent teams. Texas A&M was brilliant destroying South Carolina in Columbia and LSU got a nice non-conference win over Wisconsin. Alabama still has secondary issues, but survives a test against West Virginia. Ole Miss was sloppy beating an average Boise St. team. The East isn’t spectacular, but Georgia look very strong against rebuilding Clemson. Vanderbilt had the conference’s one black eye with a humiliating 30 point home loss to Temple.

Playoff Contenders

Alabama, LSU, Texas A&M, Auburn, Georgia

Ole Miss

2) Big 12 – 8.5

The Big 12 had a pretty impressive week. Oklahoma St. and West Virginia, two teams not expected to contend for the Big 12 title, pushed the #1 and #2 teams in the country and nearly pulled off the upsets over Florida State and Alabama. It’ wasn’t all good for the Big 12. Iowa State lost to a FCS opponent North Dakota St. by 20… at home, and Texas Tech struggled to beat something from the FCS called Central Arkansas.

Playoff Contenders

Oklahoma, Baylor

Texas, Kansas St.

3) Pac 12 – 8

The Pac 12 was supposed to challenge the SEC as the top conference in the land, but it wasn’t a good week for the conference. Pac 12 contender and top 10 ranked UCLA narrowly avoided losing to a Virginia team coming off a winless ACC Season. Washington barely beat a bad Hawaii team 17-16. Colorado lost to Colorado State, and Washington State took a semi-ugly home loss to Rutgers. California winning at Northwester did help salvage things. The Pac 12 can help re-establish itself this week when Oregon plays the Big 10’s best team Michigan St.

Playoff Contenders

Oregon, Stanford, UCLA, USC

Arizona St.

4) ACC – 6

The ACC had several close calls, but avoided any truly embarrassing losses. I would hardly call Wake Forest losing to Louisiana Monore on the road by 7 embarrassing, unless Wake Forest goes on to win 4 or more ACC games. The Deacs are likely to be the ACC’s worst team. Clemson faded late against Georgia in an expected loss, and Florida State wasn’t sharp against Oklahoma State.

The Noles are still one of the country’s best teams. Virginia gave a surprisingly inspired performance against UCLA, that opened a lot of eyes. The rest of the games went to form if barely… * cough * Syracuse * cough *. The ACC’s only marquee non-conference next week is Virginia Tech/Ohio State. The Hokies will be underdogs, but have a shot.

Playoff Contenders

Florida State

North Carolina, Louisville

5) Big 10 – 5.5

The Big 10’s most notable win was Rutgers winning at Washington State. Penn State winning on a late FG against a UCF team that was shadow of it’s 2013 BCS team hardly impressed anyone. Wisconsin wilted against LSU in a win the Big 10 really could have used. Ohio State struggled with Navy, and Northwestern lost at home to a California team that won 1 game last season. Next week will either push the Big 10 ahead, or further down the rankings.

If Michigan St. can’t win at Oregon, the Big 10 will really have an uphill battle to get a team into the 4 team playoff.

Playoff Contenders

Ohio State, Michigan St.

Nebraska, Wisconsin

The Rest

If BYU beats Texas this week, it’s not out of the question they could run the table and crash the playoff party. Notre Dame is also in the picture as long as they keep winning. They have Michigan this week.

Playoff Contenders

BYU, Notre Dame

Taking a Leave of Absence

HEy everyone. I wish I was writing something other than this post today. I have unfortunately come to terms with the fact that I can know longer keep up with the demands of this blog. I'm just doing 50 million things at once at this time of my life. I am trying to get through Nursing school, working as a Barista at B&N, traveling to two different houses because my mom moved to the country, and also trying to keep up with my social life. Unfortunately, this is the thing I chose to cut out in my life. I am hoping this is a temporary thing. I hope I can come back after Christmas but we shall see.

I really want to say thanks to all my wonderful followers! I really appreciate you all so much and have really enjoyed getting to know you. I also want to say thank you to the wonderful authors whom I formed special relationships with!

Anita Goodesign 2015 party!

My goal for 2015 was to complete at least one project every month. I started out with several, but abandoned them halfway mostly due to a lack of vision. Setbacks happened when I misaligned designs even with the help of the sophisticated InnovEye technology of my machine. I took a deep breath and tried not to look back at all the failures.

Then, inspiration struck once again when I was invited to attend the Anita Goodesign conference. Last year I had attended a similar conference for Jenny Haskins and was asking around about how to successfully embroider on flimsy materials like scarves. Different people had different suggestions, but the zest of all was to stabilize heavily. The scarf I chose was a 100% viscose material.  I had been drooling over Sadia’s ‘Jacobean Symphony design for years and it was finally in my possession!

A close up

I had scraps of water soluble stabilizer that I was reluctant to throw away. So, I created a concoction of water and water soluble stabilizer in a spray bottle. This is not my original idea. I had read about this in the Martha Pullen’s embroidery forum a while back. Spray heavily on the area to be stitched, let it dry and finally iron out the creases. I decided to use a tear away for the backing. I combined two designs and increased the size (along with the stiches) to fit my biggest hoop on the Singer XL6000.
The design stitched out beautifully. I did not try to match the back with the same colors. Most of the backing washed out after hand washing. Now I was ready for the party!

During the two days we finished 7 projects of different skill level from Anita's Playhouse collection.

Adorable pocket holder in embroidery hoop.
Here is the front and back of the Raccoon in the hoop purse.

Of all the projects the hooped mouse pocket and the raccoon bag were the most adorable. The raccoon bag left our team of three exhausted. Going back and forth on a big size hoop with layers of material on the top and bottom was simply unmanageable. The blue tapes did not do their job of holding the fabric and the back of the hoop and kept falling off. We could not agree that this in the hoop technique was supposed to make one’s life easy! And on top of that the machine picked up on our nervousness and started breaking threads, refused to thread the needle and created thread nests!

Samplers with different techniques
This will be Simmi's gift!

And this was my favorite one!

Some more!

As you can see I took lots of pictures of the display of their stitch outs.  The designs were beautiful, but I was expecting to see more of real projects, like applications of the designs, as was in the Jenny Haskins conference.

Idea for my FabMo stash
 All in all it was a fun filled weekend. I was happy to be a part of it.

Wishing all a fun filled 2015!

Happy New Year to all my friends and family!

Two big changes happened in 2014 - a jump start on my career and acquiring 'The Dream Machine XV8500D' along with a brand new software PE-Design 10. Both came with huge learning curves.

After a long hiatus I started my 2015 with a Bang! I created my first photostitch of Simmi. She is the adorable pet of my dd. She visits us during my dd's breaks.

Simmi is an adorable miniature pinscher/terrier mix that we rescued from the shelter two winters ago and brings so much joy and energy into our lives. Some of her favorite silly activities include chasing her own tail, licking our faces, snuggling under the covers and chasing after balls/frisbees. One thing that particularly stands out about Simmi is her personality. She is very good at communicating her likes and dislikes, and her eyes and tiny eyebrows really make it seem like she's speaking to you. It's this essence I was hoping to capture in the photo stitch.

Bay Area Treasure Trove

Whenever I get a chance to visit a city/town I usually google (or ask fellow bloggers) and try to find out if there are any unusual fabric places around. This time it was no different. I happen to be in the Bay area this winter and found myself in this warehouse store in Mountain View.
Fabrics that would usually be thrown in the trash get collected by dedicated volunteers, sorted and offered to the public for a nominal donation. It opens to the public on a particular day each month.
Fortunately in December 2013 I happened to be in the area and quickly made an appointment for a 45 minute time slot. It was not difficult to find the place. The door opens to a parking lot and there is a sign in front. A volunteer greeted us at the front door and tallied our name against her appointment list. The whole idea is to limit people so the place does not get unusually crowded, yet give everybody a chance to shop. We bought some curtain material by the yard ($2.00) flat rate, and collected a bag full of other smaller pieces which were mostly designer upholstery pieces.
I also found some embroidery books and vintage patterns to add to my bag.
Lots of goodies!

Years ago one summer in Oklahoma a much younger me with a younger husband and younger kids had hand stitched this pillowcase and sheet sets in shades of blue. It was a wonderful summer filled with wonderful memories. Nostalgia took over me and I just couldn't help myself grabbing the book! Just another excuse to hoard!

There were also floor tiles and wallpapers. As I was sorting through the huge pile of fabrics I was thinking that one has to be quite creative to reuse these miscellaneous assortment of fabrics. And many crafty people are actually doing so. I missed this years boutique where local artisans showcased their art using the materials from fabmo. Visit their website to find out about their wonderful workshops. This whole idea is so intriguing and innovative and it makes me wonder why more of these green projects have not become more popular. I guess this is because it is a totally volunteer driven organization that requires a lot of work and passion.

The other place of interest is Lacis. Over the years I had ordered some European magazines from this place by mail order and I was aware of their online store. What I was not aware was that they actually have a retail store in Berkeley and a lace museum that has centuries of laces as far back as  the 1500's!

Mr. Jules was an inspirational orator who gave us a tour of the lace museum.  My point of interest was the Richelieu magazines and the transfers. I wanted to hold the books in my hand and browse through them! The book collection is huge - anything and everything related to textiles, needlework, needle technique, costumes and designs.

The book alley
Of course I came home with 3 cut work magazines - I love cut work. It is just too difficult and expensive to get a direct subscription from Italy.

My stash!
A lot has been written about this cutwork by Jeanine in her 'Italian Needlework' blog. With the permission of the store I have tried to captured some a glimpse of this place with our IPhone.

Inside the store
More pictures of the store.

If you ever get the chance to visit Berkeley, it is an interesting place to check out!

Harnessing the power of OM

I had this in my wishlist for ages. Finally when I saw my best friend Jasbir's blog post about the benefits of yoga, I knew I should not put off this project any longer. Also I was visiting my dd and thought this would make a good holiday gift for her.

I wanted a lined bag (because I cannot stand exposed seams) with a good sized pocket and Nigella's pattern was logical and easy. However it is slightly short in length for my liking. With a little bit of embroidery (Om was very important for me I had it in my file since 2008 just for this purpose!) the bag has turned out quite nice and most of all my dd likes it.
So my dd march on towards a new year and overcome the obstacles and distractions of life with ease and grace.

An ode to Kakima

Up cycling a spaghetti jar with an embroidered wrap

My disclaimer - No this is not a poem and I am absolutely hopeless at composing anything with a formal stanzaic structure. It is my sincere attempt to show my admiration and reverence for Kakima.

A family consisting of a father, mother and daughter had moved to our small town. A common friend introduced us to them. The daughter was enrolled in the same school and grade as my sister. After their initial visit to our home we were invited to their house one evening. The house had a tidy little courtyard with a strip of garden around the border that was adorned with some colorful croton shrubs. The living room was modestly furnished, but what was striking about the room was the daintily embroidered linens all over the room.
Hand Embroidered Table cloth

The blue curtains were embroidered with a border of tiny white lazy daisy flowers. The coffee table had a white appliqued morning glory vine frame. I guess it was at this point that when 'All things pretty' had started taking its root in my unconscious mind. I was quite accustomed to seeing some very exquisite heirloom embroidery at my own home, yet this house had a special touch of flair and elegance that influenced me profoundly. The expression of style was very unique and showed an exuberance of passion.

Now here is the real reason why I am writing this blog today.
I came home restless. I wanted to OWN those beautiful designs. I fantasized about stitching them out. After a few visits when our acquaintance grew a little warmer, I gathered up all my courage.  (In my mind I had replayed this instance many times and everytime the outcome was negative. I was intimated by Kakima's serious countenance!) I timidly asked her 'Kakima may I borrow your designs for a few days?' She promptly stood up, left the room, walked to the other room and brought back her complete file of collected designs. As she handed them over to me she said, 'Sure this is all for the next generation, if you do guys do not make use of this then who will?' I was left speechless and I dont think I even thanked her.

These were days before xerox machines or scanners were in vogue. So, for the next fortnight I spent all my spare time carbon copying every single design in the folder. I should have traced them instead of carbon copying them. My guilt bothers me to this day. I hope my candid admission will help me not to linger on this piece of shame for too long.

Kitchen Linens

 Times have changed and my embroidery methods have evolved. These days I pursue my artistic endeavor with sophisticated software and machines. But the influence you made on a 12 year old has lasted for a lifetime. I have carried the image of your house over a thousand miles across the ocean. THANK YOU Kakima for this lasting impression.

Rooster quilt placemats

Speaking of New Orleans, here is a shy hen hiding in the thicket at the city park of NOLA. The New Orleans public parks are some of the prettiest and well maintained parks that I have ever seen. Most surprisingly they host an abundance of hens, roosters, ducks, swans, and rabbits. Unfortunately, due to the frequent rain we could not get a clear picture of these animals.

However, it did inspire this blog post. The designs are from Hatched in Africa.

And napkins to go along.

I fondly reminisce growing up with a small chicken coop in our dainty garden. So many memories of those carefree days have already faded, but I still remember waking up on a spring morning feeling the joy and ecstasy of holding the  just hatched tiny fuzzy balls that were chicklets in my palm.

So here is another kitchen towel with my favorite flock of birds.

This quilt project is also my first contribution to the Desi Quilters facebook group.

I digress...

I am not even half done and it already looks so pretty! I had to stop for a day since I ran out of glue sticks. These pine cones were collected during my morning walks with Simmi when I was visiting my dd in New Orleans a few months back. Hot humid summer brought the inception of this project in anticipation of a cool and gentle autumn.

Finally I am done with my fall wreaths that now adorn the entrance doors.I feel happy, and it has already uplifted my spirit.

I also wanted some autumn bouquets for the inside and Emblibrary had one just in time to celebrate fall.
A close up
I wanted to stitch out the bigger size but the design needed rotating. But my circumstances leave me helpless - my perfectly working PSW 2.0 has suddenly refused to budge. And this happened way before mercury went retrograde!

Relevant Policy

Final Two FSMA Rules (Transport and Intentional Adulteration) Finalized

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has recently finalized two of the remaining major rules required by the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA): one governing shippers, carriers, and any other entity involved in transporting food (the “Transport Rule”), and another overseeing intentional acts of adulteration in the food supply (the “Intentional Adulteration Rule”). These rules establish new, prevention-oriented requirements for points across the entire supply chain and are the last of seven major rules the FDA is expected to finalize under FSMA.

Sanitary Transport of Human and Animal Food Rule

The Transport Rule governs shippers, carriers by motor vehicle or rail vehicle, receivers, and other persons engaged in the transportation of food. The rule requires said entities to use sanitary transportation practices to ensure that food is not transported under conditions that may render the food adulterated (i.e., contaminated or unfit for human consumption).

Mitigation Strategies to Protect Food Against Intentional Adulteration

The Intentional Adulteration Rule seeks to protect against intentional acts to harm the public through the food supply, including acts of terrorism. Covered facilities are required to include (and implement) a food defense plan as part of their overall food safety plan, which includes a vulnerability assessment and mitigation strategies.

This rule only applies to certain food facilities registered with the FDA. Given its scope, it is targeted toward the largest companies with the greatest distribution, and there are many exemptions. “Very small businesses,” defined under this rule as those with less than $10 million in human food sales per year (averaged over three years and adjusted for inflation), are exempt. The rule also does not apply to farms, or to “farm mixed-type facilities” doing low-risk processing.

Now that the FDA has finalized the major FSMA rules, the work turns in earnest toward implementation. Nonetheless, there are still a few remaining (but no less important) rules waiting to be issued. One of these is the clarified definition of “retail food establishment.” This final rule has been long anticipated by the local food community, as it provides critical clarity for direct marketing farms and food enterprises that could otherwise be inappropriately regulated under the facilities rule – the definition of this rule is key in determining whether or not farmers and small food enterprises are considered food facilities subject to the Preventive Controls Rule. If you have questions about whether or how the FSMA rules apply to your farm or food business, start by taking a look at NSAC’s Am I Affected flowchart.

My week #33

Here are my pages for this week.  I have been busy planning my part of this years Philofaxy All Stars Tour so that has involved lots of emails and thinking of ideas for guest posts.  I am really excited to be taking part and I can't wait to get started!
My week in my Filofax #33

On Wednesday I made a blog button.  If you are viewing this on a computer you should be able to see it on the right hand side of the screen.  Making the button itself was quite easy, it was adding the grab box underneath it that was the tricky part but I got there in the end.  I feel quite proud of myself!

    1. It's like a bookmark for your blog. You see the photos of the left hand side for Philofaxy, Paper Lovestory and Dodo Pad? If you click on one of them it will take you to that website. If another blogger wants to link back to my site they can copy and paste the code from under my button and add it to their blog. You can only see them if you are on a computer or if you select the web version of the page :)

    2. Ah I see. I don't know how to do any of that stuff! Haha x

AmazeOwl - Research assistant for the Amazon market
Review by on
If you are doing market research on Amazon, AmazeOwl can make your life considerably easier. It can help you identify products with high selling potential, analyze why they are doing so well, track them and study the competition. The software spares you from reading through a huge amount of information. All you have to do is browse through Amazon and it will study everything for you.

AmazeOwl is available in free and paid versions, for Windows and Mac OS X. The installed software doesn't take up too much disk space and it doesn't use a significant amount of memory and processing power. You can have it up and running in no time, without making any complicated settings.

AmazeOwl is essentially a web browser with dedicated functionality. You can use it to access any website, but it lacks all the usual bells and whistles you are used to, like multi-tab navigating, speed dials or bookmarking. However, the software excels at exploring Amazon. A series of tabs will instantly take you to Amazon, saved and tracked products and a products database, so you don't have to type any addresses or look through menus.

When hunting for products, you can choose between different countries and decide if you want to hunt by keywords or best sellers. Once you reach the actual Amazon website, you can start browsing as usual, but you will find some extra graphical elements, which are seamlessly woven into the interface. If you access a page with multiple products on sale, the software will start counting and analyzing them automatically. You can see this happening on a floating panel and after a few seconds, you will also see how many products are marked as low or high potential.

Clicking the number of high potential products will instantly take you to the actual product entries on the web page. Besides the floating panel, which tells you about product potential, the software displays a bar above each individual product entry on the page, with information regarding why a product has a high or low potential. Furthermore, a Save option is available on the same bar, so you can add products on a main dashboard.

AmazeOwl displays a wide range of information for the products you save on the dashboard. It shows the daily sales and revenue estimates, the product's price, weight, number of reviews and many others. What's more, you can start tracking the products, using suggested keywords. This will provide useful information regarding monthly searches, Google trends, competitors and much more.

AmazeOwl can do most of your work for you, when it comes to studying the market on Amazon.

AmazeOwl can analyze all products on an Amazon page and tell you which ones have a high selling potential. It lets you save them on a dashboard and track them. You can get a huge amount of useful details about each product.

The products database feature is available only in the paid version.

You can download AmazeOwl free here.

Thanksgiving is a family celebration of giving thanks for what you have. And one of those thanks is food. The smell of sweet potato pie lingering throughout the house and the sounds of family chatter and laughter is a very satisfying and joyful moment. It reminds you that there's no place like home. It will always be a memory that no one will ever forget.

What to do with Your Leftover Turkey from your Traditional Thanksgiving Dinner
Singles – Throw a Thanksgiving Day Dinner Party
Fryer or a Deep Fryer Time to Cook the Turkey
Plan a Thanksgiving Party with the Right Cooking Pots and Utensils
The star of the unforgettable moments is the turkey. You can't serve a dry turkey for Thanksgiving dinner or for any other occasion. And believe me no one wants to eat it dry either. The star of the show should always be well prepared and beautiful. Cooking a dish such as this takes time and knowledge.

Simply, you cannot just throw a raw turkey in the oven and forget about it. Cooking it has to have consistency. The most important part to baking a bird is basting and flavor. If well planned ans sought out the bird should come out bursting with flavorand juiciness. If you don't know how to cook a juicy turkey, just follow these steps for a unforgettable and addictive meat dish. I've been using this Thanksgiving turkey recipe for years. I made it up myself and everyone that eats it absolutely loves it!

Garlic Butter Juicy Turkey Recipe

Clean, rinse and empty contents from the bird.
If you have  one, place it in a roasting pan that has a lid to lick in moisture and flavor. If you don't have one, put the turkey in a pan and wrap with aluminum foil.
Poke holes in the turkey all over with a sharp knife. This is to ensure that seasoning soaks through the meat.
Grab a couple tablespoons of olive oil and rub it all over it.
Get a stick of butter and put in a bowl. Place in the microwave with a paper towel on top for about 20 to 35 seconds.
Remove butter  from microwave add 3 tablespoons of seasoning salt. Stir until mixed.
Add 2 or 3 tablespoons of garlic to butter, stir until mixed thoroughly. If you want add onion powder too. About 1 tablespoon.
Take the butter mixture and  with your hand rub it all over the turkey. Rub underneath, the butt, saturate all over.
Add stuffing if any. Put top on turkey and let it cook.
Important: Baste it at least every 20-30 minutes.

This is my way to getting a moist and juicy turkey. It will definitely turn heads and give you happy ratings at your Thanksgiving dinner.
