Welcome to Chimera Redwoods

This site is dedicated to the study & research of rare Albino Redwood mutations

The Coast Redwood known for being the tallest and one of the largest trees on earth holds a secret deep within the forest that few have ever seen. Like a white ghost hiding in the shadows, a tree known as an albino redwood stands brilliantly in contrast with the green surroundings of the forest. Known as a chlorophyll deficient or delayed mutation, these trees lack green pigment within their needles. Sometimes appearing as a separate or independent trees, albino redwoods must derive all their nutrients from nearby green redwoods in order to survive.

What causes these mutations and why is it important to study:

While there still isn't a definitive cause to what initiates theses mutations, research has found that there is a high proportion of albino redwoods in areas of high UV light exposure and increased human activity. Ongoing research hopes to shed light on these questions which may give us a better understanding of the overall health of the redwood forest and trees growing in our urban environments.

Why study these trees? Albino redwoods give us a rare glimpse to visually understand inter-workings of redwood buds & meristems. These trees have also presented clues to understanding redwood longevity by the unique mutations they make. By learning the distribution of these rare trees we can better interpret where they're most likely to occur. On this site you will see the many different varieties of albino redwoods and the forms they come in. Ranging from the Mottled albino redwood where only 2 are known to exist in the the world to the more common white albino redwood where a modest 200 have been documented.

How many albino redwoods are there?

Currently researchers have documented a total of 483 albino redwood sites. There are approximately 380 albino redwoods in the natural range and 100 or so on planted trees outside their natural habitat. There's even been confirmed reports of albino redwoods growing as far away as Los Angeles,  Portland OR., &  Seattle WA.

Where can I see one?

Most albino redwood locations remain secret in order to protect these rare trees. Unfortunately a few albino redwoods in recent years have been cut down by souvenir hunters & profiteers who think they can make money selling these unique trees. With that said, some of the best places to see albino redwoods is Muir Woods National Monument in the southern part of the range and Humboldt Redwoods State Park in the north. The albino redwoods in Muir Woods can be seen on main trail about a half mile north of the visitors center, while the ones in Humboldt Redwoods can be seen near Founders Grove. If you need specific directions, please ask a park docent for help.

If you would like to assist us with our research and know of a location where an albino redwood is growing, please feel free to contact us at: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. . Pictures and GPS coordinates would be greatly appreciated.

The Prophecy of Malachi – Part 1: The Prophet of Christian Zionism

CHR20170127-Malachi01.mp3 — Downloaded 3580 times

The Prophecy of Malachi – Part 1, The Prophet of Christian Zionism

The name Malachi [מלאכי] means my angel, or my messenger. The name is from the same exact form of the Hebrew words for the phrase my messenger [מלאכי] which we see in Malachi 3:1, where it says “Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me”, and Malachi himself is certainly the prophet and messenger of the angel, or messenger, which would later precede the Christ, and that messenger was John the Baptist. But the prophet Malachi does not tell us who his father was, nor does he inform us of his whereabouts, and does not tell us the name of the high priest or governor or ruler of the time that he wrote. Therefore his prophecy can only be very loosely dated from the circumstances which it describes.

For example, in chapter 3 where the prophet addresses the men of Jerusalem in his own time, we read “7 Even from the days of your fathers ye are gone away from mine ordinances, and have not kept them. Return unto me, and I will return unto you, saith the LORD of hosts.” Furthermore, in the opening chapter of the prophecy, in chapter 1 of Malachi, a reference is made to the laying waste of the heritage of Esau, from the viewpoint that it had already happened. During the greater portion of the time of the old kingdom of Judah, Edom was a vassal state, and therefore it was under the protection of Judah. It broke free for a time in the days of Jehoram, and was subjected anew by Amaziah (2 Chronicles 26). Then Edom revolted again in the time of Ahaz (2 Chronicles 28), just before Hezekiah became king. So the kingdom of Edom was fully intact until this time. In the Assyrian inscriptions, it is listed as a vassal state in the times of Esarhaddon and Ashurbanipal, which approaches the Babylonian period. The punishment of Edom is prophesied in Jeremiah chapters 25 and 49 and in Ezekiel chapters 25 and 32, which were written as the children of Judah were about to be taken into Babylonian captivity. It was in the period between the fall of Assyria and the time of Malachi that the mountains and heritage of Edom were laid waste, and the passage concerning “the days of your fathers” found in Malachi chapter 3 is a reference to the period before Jerusalem was destroyed.

The Prophecy of Malachi – Part 2, The Corrupted Priesthood

The Prophecy of Malachi – Part 2, The Corrupted Priesthood

Before we offer our summation of what we had seen in Malachi thus far, I want to say a word concerning the so-called trinity doctrine, which we do not think is a doctrine at all. Yahweh our God is real, omniscient, and omnipotent – but He is also One, regardless of how He chooses to manifest Himself. So He can be God the Father, and God the Son, the burning in the bush, the rock in the desert, or the fire on the mountain. When the apostles realized that He had overcome death, they proclaimed Him as God not because Jesus somehow became as God, but because they themselves realized that He was God, knowing from the implications of the Scripture that He was Yahweh who had promised that He would redeem Israel.

The trinity doctrine is the first of heresies. There is no real support for it in the original Scriptures, except for the coincidence that in the apostolic age God manifested Himself first in two ways, from the spiritual plane and in the form of the Son of David, and then in a third way which is referred to as the Holy Spirit, which is not really a third at all but rather is only another manifestation of the first two. When Christ was near to His departure and He promised the apostles a Comforter, He proclaimed “I will not leave you comfortless, I will come to you.” But the word for comfortless in that passage is from the same Greek word from which we derive the English word for orphan, and it really means fatherless, showing that Christ is also God the Father as well as God the Holy Spirit.

The trinity doctrine is a dangerous heresy because it leaves space for antichrists to claim that they can worship a part of the deity which is somehow void of Christ. Therefore Christians are deceived into imagining that Jews and Muslims and other antichrists ultimately have the same God, which is a lie and a deception. Therefore the trinity doctrine is a compromise with devils. The antichrists themselves introduced this doctrine so that they can maintain a facade of legitimacy, but beneath the veneer there is every form of wickedness. They lay claim to a piece of the Godhead and a path to piety without Christ, when the Gospel informs us that “6 Yahshua says...: ‘I am the Way and the Truth and the Life. No one goes to the Father except through Me!’” Then almost immediately after that He said “He who has seen Me has seen the Father!” So Christians must understand that Christ being Yahweh God manifest in the flesh, no part of the deity could possibly be void of Christ! Therefore all of the devils must be rejected: there is no room for devils in the Kingdom of Heaven, and neither should there be any space given to them here on earth.

The Prophecy of Malachi – Part 3, Universalism Rebuked

In the opening verses of the prophet Malachi we see that Jacob and Esau are compared in an allegorical dialogue where Jacob is told that he is loved, and in turn he asks why while expressing a greater concern for Esau. We have asserted that this is prophetic of the very times in which we live, where Christians of European heritage, who are for the most part descended from the ancient Israelites, typically show greater concern for the accursed Edomite Jews than they do for their own people.

That is the transcendental, or far-vision fulfillment of this prophecy, as we have before described of the prophets of the Bible that many of their prophecies have a dual fulfillment, one for the closer future of the time of the prophet, and one for the distant future. We hope to have most clearly illustrated this phenomenon of prophecy in our commentary on the prophet Zechariah.

However, in order to set the stage for the ultimate fulfillment of this prophecy, which today is right before our very eyes, there must have been an earlier and more immediate fulfillment. But the immediate fulfillment has a history which is not so clear, since perhaps as many as 300 years after the prophet had written these words, the remnant of Judah in Jerusalem thought it fitting to forcibly convert all of the Edomites in Palestine to their own religion, circumcising them and converting them into what had became known as Judaism. The Edomite King Herod later built many great cities throughout Palestine, and that seems to represent an immediate, albeit incomplete, fulfillment of the prophecy. However if the Edomites had not been infiltrating into or converting to Judaism, the later end of this prophecy we cannot imagine happening as it is before our very eyes, materializing in what we have termed as Christian Zionism.

The Prophecy of Malachi – Part 4, Preparing the Way of the Lord

CHR20170217-Malachi04.mp3 — Downloaded 3256 times

The Prophecy of Malachi – Part 4, Preparing the Way of the Lord

When the magi journeyed to Judaea from Parthia to see the Christ child, the infant had already been presented at the temple, and was circumcised according to the law, and had already been moved by His parents out of the manger and into a house in Bethlehem. So by the time that they arrived in Judaea, the Christ child may have already been a year old, and possibly closer to two. And while they apparently acted on information which is now wanting in our sacred writings, the magi were not alone in their anticipation of the promised Messiah. We see the same expectation in many of other people in Judaea, such as the apostles themselves who exclaimed from the beginning that “We have found the Messias,” as it is recorded in John chapter 1, or the Samaritan woman at the well who said “I know that Messias cometh,” as it is recorded in John chapter 4. Additionally, there was the elderly Simeon, described in Luke chapter 2, who was told that he would “not see death, before he had seen the Lord's Christ”, and did see Him as he was presented in the temple eight days after His birth.

But in the courts of government in Jerusalem there was completely a different reaction, not of joy but of fear and enmity, as we may discern from Matthew chapter 2 where it says: “1 Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, 2 Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Judaeans? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him. 3 When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.”

Ostensibly, all Jerusalem was troubled upon the announcement of the birth of a savior for Israel because, as we read here in Malachi chapter 2, “11 Judah hath dealt treacherously, and an abomination is committed in Israel and in Jerusalem; for Judah hath profaned the holiness of the LORD which he loved, and hath married the daughter of a strange god.” And not only was Malachi characterizing the reason why there was apostasy in ancient Judah, as we saw in the corroborating testimony of Jeremiah, Ezekiel and Daniel, but he was also making a prophesy of what was about to become of Judaea in his own near future, and we described the historical record of how that was fulfilled in the absorption of the Edomites and other Canaanites of Palestine in the 2nd century BC, when all of those alien peoples were converted, and brought into the polity of the people of Jerusalem. By the time of Christ, those Edomites and Canaanites had become predominant in Jerusalem, and many of the good people of the nation were pushed to the margins of the society. The result is the divisions among the people and their diverse reactions to Christ which are apparent in the Gospel. For this same reason, when the appropriate time had come, the voice of the godly cried out from the wilderness, and not from the temple of God.

The Prophecy of Malachi – Part 5, The Spirit of Elijah

CHR20170224-Malachi05.mp3 — Downloaded 3165 times

The Prophecy of Malachi – Part 5, The Spirit of Elijah

In the opening verses of Malachi chapter 3 we saw a prophecy of the coming of two messengers, and the first was to prepare the way for the second. A similar prophecy concerning the first messenger is found in Isaiah chapter 40, which the apostles in three of the Gospel accounts had cited in reference to John the Baptist. The messenger in Isaiah is said to be a voice crying in the wilderness, to “Prepare ye the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our God.” Here in Malachi the second messenger is “the lord … come to His temple” and the “messenger of the covenant”, and that can be none other than Yahshua Christ Himself. Christ is indeed one and the same as Yahweh God for whom the first messenger prepares the way. As we read the words of Christ in the Gospel of John, “I and the Father are One”, and “He who has seen Me has seen the Father!”

Next in Malachi there is a statement which may refer to one messenger or the other, or even to either, where it says “3 And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the LORD an offering in righteousness.” The first messenger, John the Baptist, did indeed “purify the sons of Levi”, where it is evident that the purpose of his commission to baptize was to ceremonially fulfil the requirements of the law in relationship to Christ, whom upon baptizing he had also declared to be the Lamb of God. If John baptized anyone else, it was only a collateral benefit, and he nevertheless fulfilled the purpose of the law hinted at in Malachi. But before Christ had begun His ministry, when the people wondered whether John was the Messiah, he denied it, and said “I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh... he shall baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire”. With his baptizing, John had cleansed individual Levites in preparation for the Passover of God, and then he cleansed the final Passover Lamb, as Paul had later written of Christ, in 1 Corinthians chapter 5, “For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us.” In that manner did John prepare the way for Christ. However it is evident that the Gospel of Christ, separating the wheat from the tares, had purged the sons of Levi collectively by weeding out the Edomite Jews from the true sheep, those who had ultimately heard the voice of their master.

Comments written on January 26th, 2017, as I begin to prepare a more formal presentation of Malachi:

Back in September of 2011 Christogenea had a server crash. At that time we had only 2 servers, the second one was very small, and it took all week to put the main server and websites back together again. We had little sophistication at that early time, and no online backups. So come Friday, whereas we had no time to prepare a program, we did an extemporaneous presentation of Malachi. Now, over six years later, we can finally endeavor to present a fuller commentary for this wonderful book of prophecy.

In our first Malachi presentation, we may have been more specific in some areas, we were not quite as accurate as we would have like to have been in others, especially concerning when it was that Malachi had prophesied. We could have also elaborated to a greater extent on many details. Now we pray that we can atone for at least some of our shortcomings.

When this new commentary is ready, it will be found here:

The Scope Checklist: An Innovative Approach to Scoping Your Next Project

Presentation Summary:

Wouldn’t it be great to have a quick process for determining the scope of your next assignment? Are you struggling with the complexity of determining product, solution and project scope, with limited amounts of time to assess each? Many projects get started without a clear agreement about the scope of the solution or an understanding of the work involved to accomplish the goal. A checklist is a great tool for quickly assessing a project or project idea and finding the unknown issues which might sabotage it.

And what do we mean by scope? Did you know there are actually two distinct types of scope which business analysts and project managers should be defining? The solution or product scope describes what will be built or changed in the business and the project scope describes how the work will be done. If there is a BA and PM assigned to the project they should work together on these definitions. But often, one person is responsible for both project and product scoping. This checklist incorporates aspects of both scopes to help you quickly assess your team’s readiness to start the project.

During this one-hour presentation Barbara will address and answer these tough questions and provide each attendee with RMC’s Scope Checklist containing over 80 real-world questions that should be asked as part of Scope Definition. This checklist can be used to facilitate conversations to help the team better communicate with the requester, sponsor, and key stakeholders to make sure everyone understands and agrees to the scope of the project. In addition to being used up-front to determine Scope, this checklist can also be used throughout the life of the project to keep the project within Scope, and identify areas where adjustments need to be made.

Join Barbara Carkenord’s presentation and discover how to:

  • Improve communication with sponsors and key stakeholders about scope
  • Prevent scope creep and surprises by thinking about all the implications of a proposed idea
  • Use a comprehensive checklist to assess the understanding of a proposed or approved project

The Peanuts Movie: Family-friendly tale worth a trip to theaters

A true staple of holiday entertainment, Charlie Brown and his gang of misfit elementary school students stormed the big screen last weekend after nearly a 40 year break from theaters.

Created by “Ice Age” and “Rio” filmmakers Blue Sky Studios, “The Peanuts Movie” is by far the most visually impressive iteration of the classic comic strip penned by Charles Schulz, released on the 50th anniversary of the TV special “A Charlie Brown Christmas.”

Though “The Peanuts Movie” is an original tale which sees Charlie hide from and later try to impress the new red-headed girl in his class, everything about the film is honest and nostalgic to Peanuts lore, offering the best reboot of a classic family-friendly franchise in at least a decade.

Director Steve Martino – no doubt with help from comedy savant Paul Feig of “Bridesmaids” and “The Heat” – does a tremendous job blending the classic characters with modern animation advances and just a few of today’s biggest musical hits to delight both young moviegoers new to Charlie, Snoopy, Lucy, Linus and Woodstock as well as their parents, who will no doubt identify with the film while remembering “It’s The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown.”

The only true flaw of the film, which is incredibly minor given how well made “The Peanuts Movie” is, comes from its overuse of Snoopy’s daydreaming adventures as World War II-era fighter pilot The Flying Ace trying to save a female poodle from his archrival The Red Baron. While a true classic plotline within Peanuts lore, Martino goes to the Flying Ace well probably one more time than he should have, putting Snoopy on equal footing with Charlie Brown instead of just one half-step behind.

Admittedly, this becomes nothing more than nitpicking in an otherwise fantastic family-friendly feature worth making a trip to the theaters for this holiday season.

so many Molly-Cules

Just a couple of days ago the PDB hit over 80.000 structures – that’s a lot of structural information at the molecular level to go by, especially since the 40k mark was surpassed just 5 years ago. That also means that we get now the same number of new entries every year as were available in total around 1998.

In this context, I came across this Directory of computer-aided Drug Design tools at the Swiss Institute for Bioinformatics (SIB, see flowchart of the DrugDesign-pipeline below).

I also came across this list of software and resources at the National Center for Dynamic Interactome Research (NCDIR).

And finally, on the topic of drug-design, there is “the saga of Molly” – Although there is commercial interest behind the blog (no problem there for the critically yet open-minded reader), I like the tale because it is written from an entirely different perspective, and, as you know, I like looking at things from a different angle.

This is the tale of one molecule’s long sojourn from the organic lab through Phase III clinical testing.  Be forewarned – it’s written from the understandably limited and skewed perspective of the molecule.

CKFinder 2.0 released!

After almost a year of intensive development, it's a pleasure to release the first stable version of CKFinder 2.0, our next generation Ajax file manager.

CKFinder 2.0 is a complete rewrite of CKFinder 1, which got a bit old after three years since its first release. The new core of CKFinder comes straight from CKEditor, which means that it is now even more powerful thanks to the JavaScript API.

What's new?

New, lighter and improved user interface

Based on the experience gained with CKEditor we have created a new light and pleasant interface for CKFinder 2.0. By reducing the number of files and after code optimizations, the new CKFinder loads and works faster. At the same time we did not forget about FCKeditor users, for whom we have also prepared a skin looking like the previous version of CKFinder.

In addition to the new look, another interesting feature is the hability to enlarge the folder/file panel according to your needs by simply dragging it with the mouse.

Copying and moving files? Yes!

We have expanded the list of things you can do by working with CKFinder. You can now copy and move files using drag & drop. If you make a mistake and send the file not where you wanted, you will move it to the right folder with a mouse move!

We have also introduced the new virtual “Basket” folder, making it easy to work with a group of selected files. Currently, you can copy and move files that are in your cart. In future CKFinder versions the features for files in the basket will be expanded.

Since CKEditor 3.0, we've been always focused on delivering the best accessibility solutions in our applications. We had the same approach with CKFinder 2.0, offering full accessibility implemented through WAI-ARIA recommendations. To learn more, read CKEditor 3.2 release announcement.

New powerful plugin system

JavaScript API

Together with CKFinder 2.0 you now receive a powerful JavaScript API, with which you can customize CKFinder to your needs and add new functionalities – your imagination is the only limitation. We have also prepared an extensive documentation with examples, so you can start programming right away. See the Developer's Guide for more details.

Server Side Extensions

Support for server side plugins, thanks to this new feature you can add new features to the server side part of CKFinder without having to change the source code of the original server connectors.

Available plugins:

File editor

Manage your files easily. In addition to copying and moving files, you can now also edit them online! Moreover, for certain types of files (e.g. .html, .js, .php), the built-in editor offers syntax highlighting.

Image resize

Do you need to scale a picture to any size or create thumbnails? It's now so easy - with this plugin, scaling an image will take you just few seconds.

Sounds interesting? Just try out CKFinder demo and then download it!

Thank you to all users for sending notes and suggestions. We based CKFinder 2.0 on your comments. Be sure the future versions will provide more interesting features :-)

If you have downloaded CKFinder 2.0 straight after the release (between May 28th-31th 2010, before June 1st 2010), please download it again, we have included there a fix for small issues discovered later.

CKEditor 3.3.1 released!
CKEditor 3.3 released!

A collector’s dream!

American Businessman Eugene Casaroll, who is credited as the inventor of the auto shipping business, had previous success in the automotive industry as his Dual Motors Corporation in Detroit, Michigan built military vehicles for use during WWII. His first production car was born out of his appreciation for the Virgil Exner designed and Carrozzeria-Ghia bodied Dodge Firebomb show car of 1955. After the Chrysler Group decided not to proceed with Firebomb production, Casaroll purchased the show car and together with designer Paul Farago refined the design for larger production. Farago was able to increase both passenger compartment space and luggage space with sacrificing Exner’s original design, but he did make the addition of tail fins, an American staple of the time. The renamed Dual-Ghia was first put into production by Casaroll’s Dual Motors Corporation in 1956. In a press release Casaroll described his new car as “intended for the car lover and, I am proud to say, is built by men who can claim that title by right of their art.” Dual-Ghia production started out with Dodge D-500 chassis that were shipped to Carrozzeria-Ghia in Turin, Italy, who shorted the wheelbase and hand-formed every inch of the Dual-Ghia’s body. Even with all their resources Ghia was limited to producing roughly a dozen bodies a month with each one subject to over 200 man hours of hand finished bodywork. English colony leather was sourced for every Dual-Ghia interior and helped to place the Dual-Ghia in a class of its own. Power was derived from the Dodge “Red Ram” HEMI V8 that was available with an optional 260 horsepower that was mated to a two speed “TorqueFlite” automatic transmission giving the Dual-Ghia effortless performance. Casaroll’s car combined the best of American innovation with the best Italian craftsmen in the world and was really in a class of its own. Despite this, the retail price of roughly $7,500 meant that it was only $200 more than a Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz. Casaroll’s unwillingness to compromise quality for cost quickly caught up with the Dual Motors Corporation and the model was put out of production by 1958. It has been estimated that only 100 Dual-Ghia’s were produced. Of this only around 30 are known to exist in running and driving condition. Their iconic, hand formed lines mated with the proven American performance originally gained the attention of celebrities including Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Ronald Reagan just as today they gain the attention of the world’s most discerning collectors and museums.

It was this one-upmanship that led legendary Hollywood columnist Dorothy Kilgallen to wisecrack that a Rolls-Royce was the “status symbol for those who can’t get a Ghia.” Presumably, there were a lot of Rolls-Royces delivered in the late 1950s, but only about 100 Dual-Ghias were made between 1956 and 1958. With the exception of a duo of prototype coupes, all were convertibles. Chassis number 197 is a very late-production example that was among the last examples built at the end of first-generation Dual-Ghia production. It is one car of about half of the 100-car production run built with the Dodge "Red Ram" V-8, which was a desirable optional 260-brake horsepower “Hemi” design that was considered to be the most sought-after of the engines offered by enthusiasts.

The 1958 Dual-Ghia Convertible featured here is finished in stunning Midnight Blue with a gorgeous tan and blue leather interior. It has made numerous Concours d‘Elegance appearances and took home an award at the coveted Pebble Beach show in 2010. This investment-grade Dual-Ghia is one of only 30 known to exist and is without question one of the best examples available on the market today. We are proud to offer this incredible motorcar to the most sophisticated collector, investor or enthusiast who only wants the best. Classic cars have proven to be among the most resilient and rewarding investments in recent years with the Historic Automobile Group Index (HAGI) jumping 39% in 2013, 16% in 2014 and 17% in 2015 while posting gains of 467% over the last 10 years.

Norwex Antibac Microfiber Window Cloth – Oh my God, how did I ever live without this thing?

Norwex Antibac Microfiber Window Cloth gets 5 star rating

UPDATE: March 23, 2012

After much consideration – and months of in-home testing and scrutinizing – I am convinced that e-cloth ® offers a product that is equal in quality and performance to Norwex but is more reasonably priced. I still stand behind my review of the Norwex Window Cloth, but the e-cloth ® Glass & Polishing Cloth  performs just as well – and is of equally high quality – at a fraction of the price. You can see my review of the Glass & Polishing e-cloth here.

The Norwex window cloth delivers. Clean freaking windows, that is.  Trust me – use it once and you’re going to wonder why you didn’t try it earlier. If this cloth was cheaper (and smaller), I’d give it 5 stars.

Remember that annoying song by Cher: If I Could Turn Back Time? Remember it? Well good luck getting it out of your head now. Wait, this should help:

If I could turn back time——If I could find a way——I’d take back that bloody mega-sized refill bottle of Windex that I had a $2 coupon for because it’s been sitting unused in my basement for 2 years—–and you’d stay.

Norwex Antibac Microfiber Window Cloth
Ain’t it purdy?

Truthfully, washing windows is a chore that I’ve always liked. It’s relatively easy and a bit relaxing. Until the stinking sun shines through the window and you see the bits of paper towel lint and the “haze”. What IS that haze? Nothing but annoying, that’s what it is.

While I’m being honest, I better let you know that I got my Norwex Window Cloth free. I hosted a Norwex party – which is COMPLETELY unlike me (I have a very  healthy dislike of these types of parties). Somehow enough people ordered stuff that I managed to get one free. Meanwhile, I was so cheap that instead of ordering from my own party, I became a consultant so I could get the discount.

My point is: Wait, did I have a point?

Oh yeah, I got mine free. This is important, because I know this cloth is a bit pricey (close to $20 up here in Canada) and people are going to wonder if it’s worth it. I can’t live without mine, but I’m not sure I’d actually BUY one. But like I said, I’m cheap.

What’s so Great about the Norwex Window Cloth?

The window cloth doesn’t have as many tricks up it’s sleeve as the Enviro Cloth (have you seen my “30 Days of the Enviro Cloth” posts?) but like the Enviro Cloth, it will change the way you clean.

To me, it’s all about just splashing some water on my bathroom mirror and wiping it clean. Or even easier, I wipe it while it’s still steamy after a shower. Presto-cleano!

And here’s a word for you: French Doors (ok, that’s 2 words. Sue me). If you’ve got them, you know what a pain in the arse – oops, did I forget to “bleep” that out – they can be. If you just dampen the Window Cloth ever so slightly that will be enough to clean all those stinking windows. No worries about little bits of paper towel being left behind in the corners. Does it get easier than this?

But what else is so great about it?

  • it won’t leave streaks
  • it doesn’t leave lint
  • you won’t see the “haze” when the sun shines through your window
  • it’s easy enough that even your husband can clean the windows/mirrors to your satisfaction
  • you can get rid of yet another chemical spray and free up some more valuable storage space
  • if you’re used to using vinegar – you won’t have to smell vinegar any more.

What does the Norwex Window Cloth Clean?

It’s more of a “polisher” than a “cleaner” so if you’ve got really dirty windows or mirrors, you may want to use an Enviro Cloth first to do the hard work and then use the Window cloth to pretty it up. This is what it works great on:

  • windows (obviously)
  • mirrors
  • faucets and bathroom fixtures
  • glass shower doors
  • car interiors (dash, windows, mirrors, etc.)
  • diamonds – if you don’t have a drawer full of diamonds like I do (ha, ha ha! Geez, I crack myself up), it works really well on fake diamonds too. ALL jewelry really.
  • stainless steel appliances
  • basically anything shiny.

What does the Norwex Window Cloth Feel Like?

Well, it’s microfiber and it’s got that typical “grabby” microfiber feel on your fingers that make’s you clench your teeth and scrunch up your nose. But it’s not shaggy at all like the Enviro Cloth. It’s got quite a tight weave so it just feels like a typical piece of fabric (only with that microfiber grabbiness) rather than a shaggy cloth.

  • the Norwex Window cloth works really well. Like advertised, it doesn’t leave streaks, it’s very effective at cleaning fingerprints and “lightweight” grime. It will also clean more “heavyweight” grime, but I prefer to use an Enviro Cloth for that and then follow up with the window cloth
  • It has definitely made washing my windows and mirrors easier and faster. I use it inside and out. Even my husband, who couldn’t care less about the state of the windows, is impressed by the ease of it.
  • unlike a lot of commercial cleansers that are advertised as “green”, the window cloth REALLY is green. Well, actually it’s purple but you know what I mean. No sprays required.
  • you’ll cut down on paper towel usage.

  • like I said, this thing is expensive. It will take a while for you to get your money’s worth out of it compared to traditional window spray cleaners – but it’s better for the environment and your health so sometimes you have to forget the cost.
  • this is a personal thing, but I find it too big. I know you’re supposed to fold and fold and fold, but it’s just too much cloth for me. I never use the whole thing and I find it somewhat awkward on mirrors
  • something about this cloth – probably the microfibers – makes it VERY grabby on glass. Grabbier than any other microfiber cloth I own. By grabby, I mean it’s difficult to wipe a window/mirror without it kind of skipping/jumping along and the cloth bunching up. I don’t know if that makes any sense or not. I usually end up folding mine as small as I can get it so the surface is very small, otherwise the cloth just bunches up and it’s a bit awkward to wipe with. If you’ve used the window cloth and have a better way of describing this, please add a comment below.

  1. Ruthie says:

    I love my norwex products… fantastic products! But the shipping charges are unreasonable to say the least!

  2. Karen says:

    I just got my enviro cloth and my window cloth, I LOVE them! someone said the cloth was too big, I love it’s size, someone else said it was too grabby, I found if I did the window in smaller sections I could clean it without it grabbing, It seems to grab when it gets too dry. Now I am off to try other Norwex products. Thanks for making window cleaning a breeze!

  3. The polishing cloth is my all time favorite Norwex product. I always hated the fact that Windex never, ever got my windows clean without streaks or at least corner paper towel bits. I love how simple, green and easy this cloth makes windows, mirrors, counters shine!

  4. Tina Kegley says:

    I was introduced to Norway about a year ago. I have to say, I don’t know HOW I got along without this polishing cloth! I can clean every
    window in my house-inside and out – in about two hours. That’s 13 windows including two very large picture windows. And, two sets of French doors, plus one front door. And, I can’t pass by any mirrors without cleaning those as well. Honestly, my windows shine! I haven’t purchased window cleaner since then and hubby is happy that he doesn’t have to smell vinegar. Best money I ever spent on a cleaning product.

  5. Minonka says:

    Can’t live without this window cloth! I have it for a year or so, and I tell everybody about it! I’m very passionate about ‘green cleaning’. Honestly, I didn’t find anything, that would compare to this cloth, yet. I purchased a lot of them as a Christmas gifts last year! Buy it, you won’t be sorry! I’m going to get more……

  6. Wendy says:

    Why is it when i use the window cloth, mirrors look great and shiny, looking straight at it, but i look on the side of the mirrors it is streaky. It’s on bathroom mirrors and bedroom mirrors. I have a VERY hard time trying to get the streaky film off. I clean houses and it is more than one house I have this problem.

    • HI Wendy – is this the Norwex window cloth that you’re referring to? I know what you’re talking about as I’ve had a similar issue. At first I thought the cloth was dirty so I washed it but I still have the same problem. I only see the haze if I look at it from the side. My e-cloth Glass & Polishing cloth seems to work better. Sorry I’m not more help.

  7. I appreciate the honesty of what I read and it made me definetly want to spend the $$. I have a friend that has started to sell Norwex and she is coming to show me a demo on some products this weekend. I will be buying this cloth for sure. Thank-U M.P

Envirological Alcohol Free Hand Sanitizer

As part of Cleenol's commitment to provide safe, effective cleaning and disinfection solutions to all, we have invested time and money to gain Halal approval for our ALCOHOL FREE HAND SANITIZER.

Cleenol has been working with a leading Halal accreditation body to make sure that our ALCOHOL FREE HAND SANITIZER meets Halal requirements.  Many cleaning products on the market contain alcohol and animal derivatives, making them unsuitable for Muslims.

What is Halal?
Halal is an Arabic word meaning “lawful” or “permitted.” The Arabic word with the opposite meaning of halal is haram, which means “unlawful” or “prohibited.” These terms are generally used to describe something that a Muslim is permitted to eat, drink, or use. Whether a product can be deemed halal depends primarily on two variables: the source of the ingredients and the status of the production equipment. IFANCA halal certification takes both criteria into consideration when determining whether a product meets halal requirements.

Our ALCOHOL FREE HAND SANITIZER is an odourless non-tainting skin sanitizer designed for frequent use.  It is formulated using predominantly vegetable derived bactericides and foaming agents. It is food safe so ideal for use on entering food production areas, or before handling food, as well as being kinder to the skin than normal alcohol based products.

It has a mixture of effective biocides, which quickly eliminate unwanted bacteria on the skin, killing greater than 99.99% of e.coli and 99.999% of MRSA within 1 minute of application. It complies with the European Suspension Test BSEN1276 after 5 minutes and with BSEN 1500 Chemical Disinfectants and Antiseptics – Hygiene Handrub – Test Method.

Posted in The Classic Club, Weekly Posts

First Chapter ~ First Paragraph (February 13)

Welcome to another Tuesday celebrating bookish events, from Tuesday/First Chapter/Intros, hosted by Vicky from I’d Rather Be At The Beach who posts the opening paragraph (sometime two) of a book she decided to read based on the opening. Feel free to grab the banner and play along.

This week my opener comes from Ethan Frome by Edith Wharton which is one of the books on my Classics Club list.

‘He seemed a part of the mute melancholy landscape, an incarnation of its frozen woe, with all that was warm and sentient in him fast bound below the surface’

Ethan Frome works his unproductive farm and struggles to maintain a bearable existence with his difficult, suspicious and hypochondriac wife, Zeena. But when Zeena’s vivacious cousin enters their household as a ‘hired girl’, Ethan finds himself obsessed with her and with the possibilities for happiness she comes to represent. In one of American fiction’s finest and most intense narratives, Edith Wharton moves this ill-starred trio towards their tragic destinies. Amazon

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

First Chapter ~ First Paragraph ~ Intro

I had the story, bit by bit, from various people, and, as generally happens in such cases, each time it was a different story.
If you know Starkfield, Massachusetts, you know the post-office. If you know the post-office you must have seen Ethan Frome drive up to it, drop the reins on his hollow-backed bay and drag himself across the brick pavement to the white colonnade: and you must have asked who he was.

Well I’m not sure how much of a taste you get from that but I know I’m looking forward to the tragic destiny part!

What do you think? Would you keep reading?

A book lover who clearly has issues as obsessed with crime despite leading a respectable life

37 thoughts on “First Chapter ~ First Paragraph (February 13)

  1. I’ve had this one on the shelves for years. I read one Wharton novel years ago and now I can’t even remember if it was Age of Innocence or House of Mirth. I’ve been meaning to return to her one day but that day has not yet materialised….

  2. I keep saying I must read more classics but this has never really been one that appeals. I do quite like that opening though so maybe if you give it a glowing review I’ll give it a try 😀

  3. Well, I can tell that this one wouldn’t be for me, but I hope you enjoy it. I just can’t get into many of the classics, unless they involve solving a crime. LOL

  4. You know, I don’t think I’ve ever read this, but I’m not altogether sure! 🙂 if I did it was in high school. Maybe when you review it, that will jog my memory! I know I read House of Mirth and Age of Innocence and loved them.

  5. Such wonderful writing. You recognize an author’s talent when they keep you focused even when nothing really exciting is happening. I think I have a copy of this in the guest bedroom. Another gem hidden away that I need to read.

Leave a Reply, I love hearing what you have to say

Bittersweet: A Portrait of Professional Cooking

The kitchen end of the restaurant business is a fascinating industry to work in, if you’re fascinated with minds warped by the toll of long hours, intense stress, and hearing the same songs ooze out of grease-addled radio speakers.

Then there are the bodies attached to those cerebral cortexes – bodies beaten into submission over time, driven to require daily doses of pain pills, anti-inflammatory drugs, and – in the case of a couple of Bosnian guys I worked with – horse tranquilizers. In every cook’s toolbox or knife roll, a bottle of something nests between the tomato shark and the channel knife, especially if the cook is upwards of forty years old. He or she may likely find themselves in physical therapy, trying xi gong, having surgery, or all three.

Of course there are chef gigs that are purely administrative, but there will still be days when you find yourself back at the burners because your sous chef couldn’t make it, and tonight’s service will likely spiral out of control if you don’t step in and run the show. C’est la vie.

Do you fancy yourself a foodie, keeping up with the trendy, the unusual, or whatever recently photo-shopped ingredient excites you from brains to bowels? Do you adore playing with multifaceted colors, textures, shapes, and flavors? Gastronomically phenomenal – come and join us.  Just be warned: it may not be quite what you think it is. Kitchens worldwide are havens for burnouts and criminals – there are plenty of weeds among the flowers in the garden of Food and Beverage. I’ve seen fresh hires on day one go out for a smoke and never come back. I’ve seen room service guys offer up sexual harassment to their co-workers, regardless of gender, the likes of which cannot be uttered here.

Once I had the privilege of watching a cook from Argentina throw a knife at a busboy from Peru: the result of some sparkling insults. The knife missed the busboy and they were both promptly fired.

Another time, working at a ritzy hotel chain, I asked where the head chef had gone for vacation. I’d only been there two weeks, but hadn’t seen the chef for days (the sous chef was running the kitchen). I learned that the head chef wasn’t on vacation. This man – who had interviewed me, who I viewed as professional, who everyone addressed as “chef” – had been promptly fired and escorted off the property, after a female dishwasher complained that he had taken out his genitals and shown them to her.  I guess the ugliness of the human race can’t be stifled by the simple construct of a glamorous establishment, even with its lush fountains and marble floors.

But a big part of me loves the restaurant business, and you might too, if you’re crazy enough. Just know that hunkering down to clean out the grease-trap while you gag on the smell (the dishwasher no-called no-showed and there’s nothing to do but roll up your sleeves and do it yourself) might be a hard pill to swallow. Stomping down the overflowing trash in the dumpster because the owner of the restaurant won’t pay for an additional weekly garbage pick-up – well, it might leave a bitter taste in your mouth, one that doesn’t jive with that killer chimichurri you so enjoy making. You may not be able to cope with an old-school chef giving you a public-school ass-chewing, but hey, you probably asked for it.

It is certainly true that a wisp of satisfaction and a share in the stock of Art graces the shoulders of the chef in a spare-no-expense operation, or a high-end restaurant with its own garden out back, cheese ripening in the cellar, and cooks who are so passionate and dedicated to their craft that they are like mini-chefs themselves. This circumstance affords the chef an opportunity to touch tables, hob-knob, sponge compliments, urinate leisurely without any sting, and take more fully into consideration the feedback of the orally anal diners (or privately choose to write off their comments as trite excrement).

Other than that, my young Trotters, it’s back to a never-ending onslaught of administrative tasks mixed with cartilage-grinding labor, traditionally served with good ol’ American bureaucracy.

The end of the skibike 2010-11 season in Colorado is near

All good things must come to an end eventually. The same can be said of the lift-served ski season in Colorado. Arapahoe Basin in Summit County, Colorado is going to close with a bang on the Fourth of July.

The snow has been holding up very well due to cool nights up there and an extremely deep snowpack leftover from winter. It was nice to see 6 inches of fresh snow this past week but it has long since melted away.

Arapahoe Basin will be open the remainder of this weekend and will be open July 1,2,3 and 4. The lift hours are 8:30 to 2:30 pm. Lift tickets are $39. A-Basin passes from the 2010-11 season are still valid.

I've been going up on select weekend days with a Lenz Sport Launch and a Lenz Sport Alpine Brawler for the past month. The riding is really good but the bare patches are starting to peek through and runs are being closed or narrowed to save the snow. I'm taking this weekend off due to a reckless snowboarder plowing into me last weekend.

After A-Basin closes, one can still always go skibiking in the Colorado backcountry. Hiking St Mary's glacier is a summer tradition. The snow can get rather suncuppy up there though.

Get out and enjoy the last days of winter sport activities. The heat of summer is here.

Thursday, December 5, 2013 website now live

by G. Kunkel

The website is not complete by any means but I have skibike leashes, handlebar covers, and  repair services available for purchase at Epic Skibike Accessories.  If you don't see something you need - inquiries are welcome,

My leashes come in two flavors - on slope use only and slope/chairlift use.   The chairlift one is constructed from climb-spec webbing and carabiner.  I've drop tested the final product using 35 lbs. to simulate a bike drop from a chairlift.  I hate leashes but some ski joints require them.

The on-slope leash can also be used as a carrying strap from the parking lot.  Carrying that cold metal frame from the parking lot can be exhausting.  No, I don't like carrying my bike upside down when transporting it.  Gets too awkward for me if I suddenly have to put it down or slip and fall.

I also make custom handlebar covers.   I noticed covers getting torn up in the Winter Park Resort skibike fleet so I thought there might be a need.  I made a black/white checkerboard cover for my Launch and I love it.  Women love accessorizing.

Replacement leashes for skibob skis are available.  The buckles on the commercial ones are pretty crappy and break.  I can make custom ones using the webbing of your choice.   Sold in pairs only.

My products are for the USA market.  International shipping gets pretty expensive.  If you are willing to pay the shipping, customs, VAT, we can talk.

I'm taking payments through PayPal - not that I like it but it is a way to accept credit cards.  PayPal account is not required to use the service.  I will only ship to the registered PayPal address.

Crash And Coco Bandicoot Should Be A Romantic Coup...

Hello Crash Bandicoot forums!

I've come to present to you a pairing that the world is seeming to neglect the potential of and that pairing is CrashXCoco lets discuss it:

I have made this topic to show you a very tricky situation about Crash Bandicoot and Coco Bandicoot, They have been together for 20 years, they have fought through many battles together, Went on adventures together, But they are called Brother and Sister ?

But what if they weren't ? What if they aren't related in any way ? What if they WEREN'T Brother and Sister ? But you would probably ask me 'Why would you say something like that ?!' 'Whats wrong with you ?!'

But do you have evidence ? No. Just A Disc. They don't even have a scene where they meet for the very first time. Nothing. There could be something else there. Something.

I always thought that Crash and Coco are not blood related siblings. When Crash was saving Tawna he ran into Coco who was also one of the Cortex' subjects and helped her out. That made Coco really respect Crash and decided to stay with and in time started to call him "big brother".

Coco Bandicoot was originally Tawna Bandicoot but Tawna Bandicoot's design was heavily altered due to Universal Studios and the Japanese Audience thinking that Tawna was too "Sexy" to be in the Crash Bandicoot games, Which is very baffling to think about Considering how sexually perverted the Japanese Nation is, Also the fact that a Japanese game developing company developed the "Crash Boom Bang" game which they included TAWNA as a playable character in this game really debunks the theory that Japan didn't want a "Super Sexy" female character in the Crash Bandicoot games so it's obvious that Japan wasn't the real reason why Tawna wasn't removed, Lets discuss the real reason:

Suprisingly Tawna did not appear in Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back. She was replaced by Coco Bandicoot. Naughty Dog later said Tawna was removed for being too inappopraite for kids, as Crash Bandicoot was aimed towards familys. Fans of Tawna either 1) Stopped worrying or caring about her or 2) Didn't believe this and still expected Tawna in the later Crash games. Jason Rubin who had worked on the original Crash Bandicoot gave the REAL reason why she was removed. Appartenly the makerting director of Universal Intecractive Studios was a very small minded woman. She saw the original design of Tawna and insited that the drawing of her should not be in the final game.

The original design of Tawna Bandicoot.

The makerting director was not impressed. She called Jason into the office and yelled at him impyling that Women should not be shown in that manor and that no women would ever wear clothing like that. They had drawn her clothing based off one of the other female employees who worked there and when she walked by the office, the makerting director called her in and yelled at them for half an hour. She insisted that no video game would become famous for having a sexy women in it. She managed to make the president of Universal Interactive Studios so nervous that he asked them to redesign Tawna to the makerting director's image. Tawna was heavily toned down to wear simple clothing. They thought the new design was not what they wanted and scraped Tawna from any Crash game. Also, Tomb Raider was realesed later and appartenly the makerting director left video games forever.

In game model of Tawna.

Even though she was scrapped, Tawna would still appear as cameos in some Crash games. She appears in a poster in Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped! and Crash Bandicoot: The Warth of Cortex and Crash Bandicoot: Mind Over Muntant, She also appeared on a sign saying Moulin Cortex in Crash Twinsainity.

Tawna even appeared as a playable character in Crash Boom Bang! A party game that was created by a Japanense team.

Her cameo in Crash Twinsanity!

So while she was scrapped and replaced by Coco Bandicoot. Tawna Bandicoot is one of my favorite Crash characters out there!

So if Coco Bandicoot was Originally Tawna Bandicoot WHO CRASH HAD ROMANTIC FEELINGS FOR doesn't make it as disturbing to think about Crash and Coco having a romantic relationship because again Coco IS Tawna which Crash had romantic feelings for

Now lets talk about the Crash Bandicoot manga which can be read here:

In the Crash Bandicoot manga Crash Bandicoot is shown to be upset and crying because Tawna (His Girlfriend) dumped him for pinstripe, Then afterwards Coco Bandicoot returns to their house and then when Crash saw Coco return home he IMMEDIATELY thought she was Tawna so he rushed to Coco to give her a hug but Coco stopped Crash from hugging her and then she shouted "I'm not Tawna chan!"

Even if this scene in the manga shows that Coco is a entirely different character from Tawna this scene clearly implies that Coco WAS AND IS Tawna but a smaller aged down version of her, the real reason Tawna left Crash for pinstripe was because Universal Entertainment needed a excuse to replace Tawna with Coco, The change was made because as I said Universal Entertainment wanted Crash's female companion to have a more age appropriate appearance for the E rating the game has, but they still didn't need to make Coco his sister for that to happen they should have just aged down Tawna's appearance to Coco's appearance without making her Crash's sister, which would have probably been more profitable for the Crash Bandicoot games because they could have created a pairing fandom for CrashXCoco because Pairing fandoms are known to bring profit to a franchise.

Now lets talk about Crash and Coco's romantic scene in the Crash Bandicoot Mcdonalds commercial

In this scene Crash is shown to be winking at his "Sister" Coco in a flirtatious manner, Isn't that crossing the line if they are supposedly "Brother" and "Sister" this is another example shows that Crash and Coco don't think of themselves as siblings and are eligible to be shipped together

Now lets talk about Crash and Coco's romantic scene in the Crash of The Titans video game

Crash and Coco blushed after Cortex said that to them!

In this scene Cortex tells both Crash and Coco to "Get A Room" that's right he told a "Brother" and "Sister" to get a room and the phrase "Get A Room" means go somewhere private (used as a humorous or mildly disapproving comment on a public display of extremely affectionate or amorous behavior between a couple). meaning that Cortex doesn't mind Crash and Coco getting sexually intimate which implies that he doesn't think that Crash and Coco are blood related or otherwise he and like most other people would be disturbed by incest assuming he is against it which I'm having my doubts that he is after all he did say he was going to spank his niece stupid, Hey well Cortex should know whether or not Crash and Coco are related after all he did create them.

Now lets talk about Crash Bandicoot 2 Crash and Coco romantic scenes:

In this Crash Bandicoot 2 concept art Crash is shown laying on his sister using her ass as a pillow

Isn't that sort of pushing it for a "Brother" and "Sister" relationship if Crash and Coco are brother and Sister ? Well I guess this is understandable because Crash bandicoot 2 was the first game Coco was introduced in, It was the first game where Naughty Dog changed Tawna (Crashes Girlfriend) who Crash had romantic feelings for to Coco so they were still very fresh to Coco's Character so I guess they have to still remember that Coco is no longer Tawna who is Crashes Girlfriend.

Now lets talk about Crash Bandicoot 3 Crash and Coco Romantic scenes:

In Crash Bandicoot 3 both Crash and Coco portrays the characters from the movie (Terminator 2 Judgement Day) Crash was portraying (The Terminator/T-800 (Model 101)) And Coco was portraying (Sarah Connor):

Crash Bandicoot As The Terminator/T-800 Model 101 (Arnold Schwarzenegger):

Coco Bandicoot As Sarah Connor:

In the Terminator 2 Judgement Day movie there was some romantic hints between the characters Terminator/T-800 Model 101 (Arnold Schwarzenegger) and Sarah Connor:

So If the Crash Bandicoot 3 game is based off Terminator 2 Judgement Day movie then what are they trying to imply with Crash and Coco in that game ? that they are also lovers as well ?:

Now lets talk about Crash Tag Team Racing Crash and Coco romantic Scenes:

When Crash uses his attacks to hit Coco in Crash Tag Team Racing her response to the attack was "Ouch! I'm telling Mom! If we had one."

This clearly implies that Crash and Coco do not know who their parents are which means they do not know if they are truly related, So this means as of now since it has never been stated who Crash and Coco's parents are it's not disgusting to think about shipping Crash and Coco together due to incest if it hasn't be confirmed that they are born from the same parents.

Now lets talk about Crash Mind Over Mutant Crash and Coco romantic scenes:

Just as shown in Crash Tag Team Racing, If you use one of Crash's attacks to hit Coco in Crash Mind Over Mutant one of Coco's quotes are "I'll tell Mom! (Whispers to self) Who is she anyway?"

So if Coco is still wondering who her and Crash's parents are then technically both Crash and Coco shouldn't really consider themselves to be blood related siblings, I know you guys are probably going to say that "Crash and Coco both have orange fur" and "Crash and Coco have green eyes they must be related" and my response to that is SO WHAT?! Tawna has Orange fur and has Green eyes so are you going to say that Tawna is related to both Crash and Coco ? And afterall Crash and Tawna dated before so I guess you guys want to call that incest now to ? But the point is that as of now until Crash and Coco's parents are revealed it's not disgusting to ship Crash and Coco together romantically if there is no actual incest involved.

Now lets talk about Crash Landed Crash and Coco romantic scenes:

The Crash Landed game is a game that takes place in a timeline in between the events of the games Crash Bandicoot and Crash Bandicoot 2, Crash Landed was an origin story, and it was going to be a fresh, new start that retold how Crash came to be the bumbling hero we all know and love. After being mutated by Cortex, he would have gotten entangled with the task of rescuing his fellow bandicoots. Unlike Crash, these bandicoots weren't evolved by scientific contraptions, so they were still small, defenseless critters. They were internally referred to as "bandicutes", and some of the concept art shows that they would sometimes get trapped in dangerous areas until Crash freed them. Dingodile was ordered to Capture as many Bandicoots as he possibly could so that they could also be mutated the same way Crash was:

Crash made it his goal to save these Bandicoots from danger, But out of all the other Bandicoots there was one particular Bandicoot that he got very close to who many Crash Bandicoot fans suspect it to be Coco before she got mutated by Cortex's evolvo ray:

Crash must have failed to protect this particular Bandicoot from Dingodile which is why Dingodile was successfully able to capture it and get it mutated into Coco Bandicoot

The Crash Landed game takes place on Black Rock Island http://crashbandicoo...ack_Rock_Island that Crash or Cortex has never been to before but there are Bandicoots on this Island, Crash Bandicoot was Born and mutated on Wumpa Island and The Island the Crash Landed game takes place on isn't Wumpa Island, So if Coco was born on this new Black Rock Island then how is she in anyway related to Crash ? real life Bandicoots cannot swim so it's not like Coco's Mother swam from Black Rock Island to Wumpa Island to give birth to Crash there, And if you want to say that Coco's Mother was mutated to a humanoid shape like Crash and Coco allowing her to swim like a Human then that wouldn't make Sense either because if she did give birth to Crash as a mutant on Wumpa Island then he would already be born as a Mutant which wouldn't make sense because Cortex was the one shown to mutate Crash so no Crash and Coco DO NOT share the same mother, In other words Crash and Coco are NOT RELATED IN ANY WAY, So therefore it's very much ok to ship them together romantically.

Finally my last point on this subject, When you complete Crash Bandicoot 1 on the insane trilogy remake of the original Crash bandicoot games you are shown a Ending cut scene and this is what Tawna said in the ending cutscene:

Tawna said to Crash that when they find a place she will make him a nice wumpa pie, But when crash finally found a home the only girl that was with him living in that home was Coco ?

This makes it obvious that Tawna was replaced and turned into Coco, That's why coco shouldn't be looked at as Crashes sister when someone thinks of pairing them romantically but rather look at Coco as a redesigned aged down version of Tawna but regardless in essence Coco is Tawna who was crashes girlfriend and still is because she lives on in Coco! which means that it is very much ok to pair Crash and Coco together romantically

The reason why I ship Crash and Coco together because they are like Yin and Yang, one compliments the other, Crash cannot get through life as a Idiot without Coco's brain power to support him and Coco cannot handle the hard jobs without Crashes muscle, They can't live without each other! they complete each other!

But I swear if Activision pairs Coco with Crunch together romantically i'm going to be super piissed!

Crash and Coco forever!

No. It requires a complete story rewrite. In this case, use Tawna instead.

Re: Crash And Coco Bandicoot Should Be A Romantic ...

in reply to BestSasuHinaFan

This post disgusted me. None of your points makes no goddamn since. If they are siblings there shouldn't be a meeting scene cuz they are siblings. When my younger sister was born I didn't go "hi I'm colton who are you" I just went on with my life. Also how do we know if the Manga is even *****ing canonical to the crash games. Also the crash of the titans clips when cortex says "get a room" they might of blushed but my color bind ass couldn't see it but after that they look pretty pissed, also what's wrong with siblings hugging each other. So your reasons why that Crash should be with Coco is plain retarded. I need an apology for reading this ***** and thanks for proving that God is dead.

Me and my husband were in bed and sleep by 8.30 on Sunday! Got a solid 9hrs sleep...still woke up wanting more #greedy!

But we go to bed anytime from 9-10 really! Even at the weekends! We both like our sleep and also fear the wake ups!

We like our sleep but can cope with less so we go to bed anytime between 10.30pm if really tired and half midnight if I have lots to do or get into a film or something. This will change when I have to go back to work, will definitely need more then! She will have to wake up earlier too, at the mo she wakes up around 8 ish. But it does get better, we went through many ups and downs with sleep patterns with dd1 and it had all settled by about 2 and now at the age of 5 she generally sleeps 12 hours guaranteed, except last night when she took a while to go off and was up at 6.40 because they have eggs in an incubator at school due to hatch today! She has been so excited for the full 3 weeks I thought she might explode this morning! X

Posted 20/03/2018

I go to bed anywhere from 8.30-11 depending on how tired I am and what time LO (little one) goes to sleep x

Posted 20/03/2018

Between 9-10 but that's because my husband gets up for work at 5 and sometimes I can't get back to sleep after his alarm goes off! Babe sleeps until 7 and luxkily it doesnt seem to affect me too badly if he does wake up in the night. We have been to bed later on the weekend but we are usually still ready to go up at 9-10 🙂

I’ve just resigned to the fact it will be this way for a while but not forever

Also if we want to watch a move we just put it on as soon as lo is in bed at 7pm xxx

9-9.30 for us. Baby is usually up 2-3 times overnight on a good night and 5+ on a bad night and wakes between 5.30 and 6 most mornings so for me it's just not worth the risk of staying up later!

Posted 20/03/2018

Between 9-10 on weekdays and around midnight at weekends x

My baby is here

Posted 20/03/2018

Myself and oh will either go to bed and watch a film or stay down and watch a film until latest midnight, but guaranteed 1 of us falls asleep before. Our son wakes at midnight for a bottle so we don't really see much point in going to bed until all his feeds are done. Broken sleep kills me more than lack of sleep weirdly. Plus we are trying to squeeze in abit of us time in which can seem impossible. On weekends however oh goes on his fifa games so I go to bed anywhere after 6pm when I put baby down. Xx

Always by 9. I fear the nights! Up at 1am for quick reassurance then 3.30 For feed then still awake at 4.30 did poo then gave up and brought him into bed at 5 up at 7. If I went to bed too late I wouldn’t cope!

Google 'round ligament pain'. If it sounds similar, it's quite normal :)

Most likely cause is ligament pains. If that’s the case then they are harmless for baby, just horrible for you!

It may be that you go to turn in your sleep without realising and it’s tweaking on your ligaments. Doesn’t take much to aggravate them sometimes, especially if not your first pregnancy.

Only you know how the pain feels though so if concerned then give midwife a call. Have a look online for info about ligament pains in pregnancy and you’ll be able to judge if that’s what you think it is.

Posted 09/05/2018

I don’t wake up in the night but sometimes if I stand up to fast I get a pulling pain either in both sides or just the one but I asked the midwife and she said it’s just the womb basically making room! But I suppose that will be the case depending. On how far along you are but if your unsure phone the midwife and ask them , they should be more than willing to help x

I agree with the others, sounds like pelvic girdle pain. It's a bitch. You can buy support belts that help for during the day. Also, are you using a pregnancy pillow yet? They help give more support while you're sleeping.

    How to connect secondary SPI NOR flash on FM4 S6E2GM Pioneer Kit Arduino interface

      Hi Sir,

      I would like to have my WSON8 socket connect with Arduino interface to test SPI NOR flash.
      The FM4 S6E2GM Pioneer Kit has free pins on Arduino interface or even there is SPI interface
      available(not sure yet because the schematic connect to JTAG?). And that's why I want to use that interface to connect with. Is that doable not only hardware but also software?

      The next question will be how SPI interface looks like support single IO on schematic now.
      How to support Quad mode on schematic and software?

Canada Post Light Packet Services to be Discontinued

eBay Employee
eBay Employee

Canada Post has recently communicated to eBay that it will discontinue offering Light Packet USA and Light Packet International services to eBay label printing platforms. Given the upcoming migration of Canadian eBay shipping label printing to Shippo, we have agreed to implement this change with the launch of the Shippo platform.

Because Light Packet is a popular service for many Canadian eBay sellers, we have worked with Canada Post to create additional discounts on Canada Post Small Packet services:

From the time the Shippo platform launches, through to the end of 2017, Canadian sellers will be able to send items using Canada Post Small Packet-USA and Small Packet-International and save up to 25% off Post Office prices. Depending on the weight and destination, these new discounted rates are very similar to Light Packet rates. Small Packet-USA and International services offer the same delivery times as Light Packet without the burden of the Light Packet size limits which restricted item thickness to 2cm. With Small Packet you can send any item that meets these dimensions: L+W+H <90cm, with no one side greater than 60cm.

Thank you,
eBay Canada

Proseccogate - a storm in a wine glass

Maurizio Martina the Italian minister for culture has denounced as fake news the allegation by British dentists that Prosecco is bad for our teeth. Prosecco is a great wine but is acidic and has a high sugar content. An Italian dentist has commented that the problem is simply due to poor oral hygiene in Britain.

All this is a storm in a wine glass. The Oral Hygiene message is simple and the same for fizzy soft drinks,fruit smoothies as well as white wine..moderation and careful home oral hygiene.

How the Kindle Paperwhite Works

User Interface and Features
The Kindle Paperwhite with light adjustment function open.
The Kindle Paperwhite with light adjustment function open.
© Chernaev

Aside from the obvious hardware similarities, there are lots of common features across all Kindles as of spring 2013. They include access to Amazon's Whispernet service for downloading content wirelessly, eliminating the need to download content via a computer. Whispersync allows the Kindle to sync to your last read page across multiple devices (say, if you have a physical Kindle as well as the Kindle apps on your computer and smartphone). From Kindles, you can even surf the Web, albeit slowly, on a limited-function "experimental" Web browser.

But a few features differentiate the Kindle Paperwhite from its predecessors. One is the slick graphical interface that shows your books, and potential purchases, as book cover icons rather than text-based lists of items.Since the only ways to interface with the new device are the power button and the touch screen, you navigate the Paperwhite via screen icons, and touch various parts of the screen to make selections and switch pages.

While within a book or periodical, touching the top of the screen brings up the toolbar icons, touching a thin strip on the left takes you back a page, and touching anywhere to the right of that strip (the majority of the screen) takes you forward a page. You can also swipe across the screen right to left to page forward, and left to right to page back, if you prefer. In any situation where you need to type, say to do a search, a virtual keyboard pops up.

The toolbar includes the following virtual buttons:

Home (a house icon) -- As the name implies, this takes you back to your home screen, which on the Paperwhite displays your library as a series of book icons. There is also a row of featured Kindle Singles (smaller book icons) below that for possible purchase, along with a banner ad below the Singles. You can opt out of seeing the banner ads at any time for a $20 payment to Amazon.

Back (a left-facing arrow) -- This button takes you back a page.

Screen brightness (a light bulb) -- The screen brightness button allows you to adjust brightness from the settings of one to 24.

Kindle Store (a shopping cart) -- Touch this icon to purchase books, provided you are connected to a network via either WiFi or 3G.

Search (a magnifying glass) -- Select from various sources, including your current book (if you are within a book), the Kindle Store, a dictionary and Wikipedia. The search function also brings up a virtual keyboard for text entry.

Menu (three horizontal lines) -- Menu brings up a relevant menu based on what you are doing at the time you hit the button (whether reading a book, on the home screen or elsewhere). It allows you to do things like change settings and surf the experimental Web browser.

If you tap the top of the screen within a book, there is a secondary toolbar that comes up underneath the main toolbar. This includes the following icons:

  • Aa, which stands for text and allows you to adjust font size and type, line spacing and margins.
  • Go To, which lets you jump to various location choices such as specific pages or chapters, depending upon the content's choices.
  • X-Ray, which opens the X-Ray feature, if available for your content, described below.
  • Share, which allows you to post messages to social networks. A share feature also comes up when you select text in a book.

Both toolbars have slightly different choices for periodicals, including icons to display highlights, to show hierarchical lists of sections and articles and to save an article to a My Clippings file, where clipped articles, notes, bookmarks and highlights reside. Go To, X-Ray and Share are omitted for from the periodicals toolbar.

Other new features:

  • You can translate selected words into other languages via Bing Translator.
  • The Time to Read feature learns your reading habits and can give you an estimate of how much time it will take you to read a chapter or the book.
  • The X-Ray feature allows you to view a graphical representation of all the passages related to certain characters, places or topics that occur across a page, a chapter or the entire book, and lets you look up information about these items. This feature is not available in all Kindle books.
