Loose Teeth!

28 February 2009 By 1 Comment

Malachai’s bottom two teeth are loose! I downloaded a teeth pdf about when they come in, when they fall out, etc.. to show the kids and we decided to check Mal’s b/c the bottom ones tend to come out around age 6. They were all wiggly!

He was all giggly and ran around the house showing everyone his loose teeth. He is so cute :-) I lurve him.

He wont let me touch them again, but he is so obviously proud of having loose teeth. Yay Mal!

Unfortunately, they are *not* the top teeth, which are the ones with the big as cavity right in the middle.

Michigan Messenger » Lose your house, lose your vote

Michigan Republicans plan to foreclose African American voters

The chairman of the Republican Party in Macomb County Michigan, a key swing county in a key swing state, is planning to use a list of foreclosed homes to block people from voting in the upcoming election as part of the state GOP’s effort to challenge some voters on Election Day.

“We will have a list of foreclosed homes and will make sure people aren’t voting from those addresses,” party chairman James Carabelli told Michigan Messenger in a telephone interview earlier this week. He said the local party wanted to make sure that proper electoral procedures were followed.

State election rules allow parties to assign “election challengers” to polls to monitor the election. In addition to observing the poll workers, these volunteers can challenge the eligibility of any voter provided they “have a good reason to believe” that the person is not eligible to vote. One allowable reason is that the person is not a “true resident of the city or township.”

You have to read the whole article. They are targeting people who have lost their homes, and who have no proof of address. Perhaps they have moved outside of their voting area, or in with family and don’t have proof of address available (such as utility bills in their name).

Busy Today, Busy Tomorrow

29 August 2008 By 1 Comment

We leave at some ridiculous hour tomorrow, so I am packing today. I am doing laundry today. I have most of my kids stuff, some of mine. Some in the wash, some in the dryer. What’s for dinner tonight? I don’t know. We had leftovers last night.I need to figure out what shoes I am wearing up there too. I hate traveling.

Working on The Bazaar, it needs [a lot of] work to be 100% ready for the press release. This is your official personal invite over there.

Speaking of press, Sarah wrote this gem about me for our “About Us” area, and my only reaction was “I want to hang with her!” I guess I don’t give myself the cool points others see in me lol

Jennifer Johnpoll is the archetype of the next generation matriarch.  She is a stay at home mom raising five children (three of her own and two in her charge), one husband and one father.  In her youth she wore a green mowhawk and had already begun her beautiful collection of tattoos.  She used to tour with Rancid and haunt the popular punk hangouts in Baltimore in the 90s.  As a mom she is as hip as ever.  She continues to add to her tattoo collection, but has swapped the punk haunts for playgrounds and the school pick up line.  Jenn runs the technical aspect of Punky Moms.  Whenever there is a tech problem, she fixes it.  She is responsible for how fantastic this place looks and operates.

Yah. *chuckles*  I don’t see me that way, but who ever does see themselves how others do?

What else what else….  I am updating the kids Leasters/Didj for the trip. My lovely bought me a Sony Portable Reader (eBook) for the trip and loaded it up. I am d/l some books as well – they are PDF, so I hope they convert OK b/c it seems a lot of the don’t.

I know, I’ve been slacking on my actual blogging of real non-me related things. I’ll get back on it when I get back from MD.

YummySoup!

9 August 2008 By Leave a Comment

How on earth did I forget to mention this gem of a program? YummySoup! is only the best recipe program ever that I have seen, and I have the joy of it being a Mac only program at that! (Joy only because how often is a program PC only? Only almost every time!)

http://hungryseacow.com/From their site (my comments in red):

Organize, Share, Cook & Shop.

Try YummySoup! free for 15 days. If you decide to keep it, use PayPal, e-check, or any major credit card to purchase.

Here are just some of the features that make YummySoup! the best recipe app for your Mac.

Not only does YummySoup! support fully automatic web imports, but also boasts the most intuitive interface for importing recipes from any website! (<- my fav feature, btw) There are fully automatic web imports from a growing list of sites and the new AnySite Web Importer for everything else including any web site, text based PDF, and text files. Both these features are simple and intuitive. Check out the new video tutorial on these features!

Browse your recipes with the adjustable full screen view, that gently fades into view. Use your Apple remote to flip through your recipes, or have your directions read to you! Cook with ease, assured that you won’t have to touch your keyboard or mouse since sleep timers are deactivated when using this view.

Send rich formatted emails with pictures. These emails look exactly like prints. If your recipient also has a copy of YummySoup!, then they can add your creation to their library with the included export file, sent with every email. (this feature is awesome too!)

A seamlessly integrated user contributed Online Library. (with some fantastic recipes, I might add)

Keep track of your favorite Wines, Beer & Liquor with the built in Wine & Spirits manager.

The navigational structure of YummySoup! is fantastic. Groups of recipes can have subgroups which makes finding the right meal easy. Browsing any one group, will show you not only the recipes belonging to that group, but all the recipes belonging to all subgroups.

Smart groups are powerful. Whether you want to find all the recipes you can make with a handful of ingredients, or just want to find a Spanish style Main Dish that is not only easy to make, but has a five star rating. (love this too – I found catagorizing them to be a bit of a pain (as far as is this an appetizer or a snack?), but this way I can just search for ingredient A and find what I am looking for)

.Mac backup and restore.

YummySoup! uses a family-pack style license. You are free to use your license file on any computers in your home that belong to you or your family members residing in your household. YummySoup! is also a constantly evolving application. Many users have suggested great ideas which I have either added, or am in the process of adding to YummySoup! Have a great idea? Let me know!

I normally hate paying for programs, esp. when they are so many reasonable free ones out there, but this one is worth every penny of the 20$ and then some. It is one of the best, easy to use, nice interface, multi-functional recipe programs I’ve seen. I just might start entering frequently used recipes from my books and see about packing them away or donating them… at least the ones I know I only use one or two recipes out of ;)   Seriously? If you have a  Mac, and you cook, and you have a bazillion recipes (I have a bazillion loose recipes I am in the process of entering) you need this, yesterday. I needed it a few years ago.

The Image Space lightroom resource

7 August 2008 By Leave a Comment

I don’t think I ever mentioned it. In June I tried to download a PDF of Adobe Lightroom tips from The Image Space, and the PDF wouldn’t open right. Long story short, I sent an email off to the site, not really expecting to hear back, but I did! Not only that, but I was sent a new copy of the PDF and was asked what OS and browser I was using so the problem could be tracked down.

I did find the PDF useful (they tips are listed individually on the site, but it was nice to have them in one collection and easily referenced on my own hard drive) and you can find that download here: http://image-space.com/Downloads/Downloads.html
