good movie.
I didn't know that the lady who wrote 'To Kill A Mocking Bird' is Nelles Lee Harper. She was a chain smoker in the movie. I had the book by Gerald Clark but never read it. I'm curious about 'In Cold Blood' and Mocking bird.

Last Friday, we saw 'Black Dahlia' I came from the movie confused. Maybe I'll read the book.

Circa Rolla

iem - August 20, 2006

I have had this type of notebook since freshman college 1985, and had been frustrated with finding it again until about 5 years ago with Rollabind.com who was bought out by Carl Products. Rollabind makes these high-end notebooks for Levenger. If you are interested in trying out these notebooks in a less expensive they are now being carried at Target with the poly covers for $9.99 for a letter size AND junior size sold together. Staples also carries a cloth covered version in both sizes, sold separately, $9.99 and $5.99, respectively. Staples does not have these out on display, I just happened to look up at their overstock shelves above the notebooks and saw the rollabinder rings sticking out, so you may have to ask if they have them in stock. They are labeled Rolla Notebooks. They are still online at Rollabind.com but have mostly been targeted towards crafters/scrapbookers. If you do end up liking these, the punchers are well worth the price, and they are less expensive online at Rollabind.com.

I have gone to staples and they now have them out on the shelves near by the Blank and Red notebooks. I asked the people in the store and they are clueless. I got the faux brown leather version of Rolla Notebooks.

Ty

I like shopping for ties on internet. I bought one which said it on it’s label “Made expressly for the Society of Colonial Wars”. The tie has a red background with white strip. It looks like a typical club tie. I’ve never really tied a bow tie and have always wanted to try it. I know a collage buddy who will throw out his ties after two or three wears. Women have a thing for dimples, both on men and on the knots of ties. I don’t have a dimple on my face but I can wear a dimple on my ties. My brother-in-law likes the skinny version. Sort of like the early eighties worn by Rick O’ Casek of the Cars.

I remember the springy pastel plaid ties popular during high school and the reign of ‘Miami Vice‘ of Don Johnson ties.

October is breast cancer awareness month

October starts off with the Breat Cancer Awareness Month.

• I never thought some one I know would get breast cancer. But my sister was struck with this illness. She's fighting it and doing fine. Thank God. I pray for her and one of the thing I'm greatful for is that she is doing fine.My other sister is walking in Susan Korman Foundation Charity. Check out the link race.komenoregon.org

• Here's another example of a survivor. Her post in http://www.BreastCancerVictory.com is example of a woman's personal story about her experience with breast cancer.

• The Cable television Channel 69 Life Time is showing a movie 'Why I Wear My Lipstick to My Mastectomy'. It's about a woman's journey into BreastCancer treatment.

• My neighborhood Safeway is taking donations of a $1 for three cookies. Chocolate Chips.
• 'Intimations of Morality' by Violet Weingarten is a excellent book
• 'The Road Back To Health' by Neil A. Fiore

Inventionland Video - Very cool video of someone drawing. I like uTube. It sounds very similar to one of my favorite bands U2. uTube is a great place to find videos, I spent a few hours perusing Rush videos.

What's in your Fridge? Pocket Sandwich?

I remember listening to a radio show on NPR “Splended Table”. Hm you might wonder why I was listening to such a show, well I was fascinated with MFK Fisher’s writing only through other author’s mentionings such as Raymond Carver. Anyway that’s beside the point. The show has a segment where the caller calls in to challange the host with a problem. The caller looks into his/her fridge and reports what’s in there…usually not much…mustard, old left over hot dogs for example. Well then the host would have to suggest a recipes for the ingredients. RecipeMatcher is a similar idea. You tell it what you have to cook with and it comes up with a wonderful and tasty recipes. Hm…I wonder if the creator of RecipeMatcher was inspired by the “Splended table”

RecipeMatcher.com allows its members to find recipes based on what they have at home. Searches return with recipes ranked by the percentage of ingredients you already have.

So you don’t have to go to the grocery stores which is one of the lesser joys of cooking. The other cool thing about the site is that it’s a Web 2.0 application.

Island

Tropical Vacations allows people to talk about their experiences of cruising to the Carribean islands. This is a cool site for the forum it has. People get together on-line to discuss their misquito bites, the favorite dive sites. I still remember fondly my trip to St. Lucia. I met a couple from Stoney Brook and another awesome couple from Santa Barbara. A family was sailing to another island.

• Tantra love making concentrates on the union of the male and female.
  
• There arefree content, ebooks, or picture gallery and more.
• You can find techiques for Tantric massage to please your woman.
• You can find great books. I know that I was curious about Tantra after 'Bliss' and the first thing I did was to research my library and book store on the internet.
• Tantra is your best source. They are discret.

Epson Printers for Photography

Epson inkjet printers
I have two epson printers for my at home use. One is at the studio and the other one is at the computer room. I have gotten great results from printing 8 x 11 of a tulip I photograph from the backyard. Mon requested a copy printed out for her. It was very easy to do and I was amazed at the quality. It looks just like a photographic paper!! It's great to print web pages in color when I need to print from my blog. I like the background color of my blog very much. So I prefer to print from the blog. It looks like an old parchment. The letters are crisp.

Do you like drunken noodles?

It’s my favorite right now…I could eat so much of it. Oh there was so much carnage in unreal tournament. Jeff had four or five powerful computers hooked up. Mark brought over is hard drive, monitor and the works. I was on Jeff’s Sony laptop which kicks.

I like mining for crystals and refining the land for resources to build my empire on Star Craft. But watch out for the larva Zergs. Kill or bee killed. We stay until five in the morning.

Ahh that was back in the good old days. I didn't have the opportunity play WarCraft with the guys. I got the WC after the gaming group disbanded. I play it for a while and it's very addictive. Now warcraftunderground.com has an amazing newsletters with tips and tricks. My favorite is that you can have a MySpace layout! Woot! I can get improvements on my game! Pull all nighters playing in the game group.

Our IT Lady uses Snagit

The IT Lady at my work uses Snagit to capture screen shots of her computer when she wants to do a Calyx Points Presentation. Calyx Points is a program that we use in the mortgage business to keep the borrower's files. She does some trainings in Points so Snagit is very handy for her to capture screen shots of Point for Presentations. We can see exactly what she's trying to show is on the projector. She has a laptop for the presentation. I didn't know this until I saw her short cut to "Snag it" on her desktop. Then I did a Google search to find out what it is. I've download it and play around with it.

Snagit 8 Screen Capture Software

I really like the product packaging.

Here's the lovely screen shot.
Of course you can also use Snagit for fun. There are several flickr clubs about screen shots.
