Top 5 Carbonated Beverages (With Bonus Drink Recipes!) Coca Cola - Still the champ after all these years, no matter what those Pepsi loving freaks will tell you. And don't listen to anybody who tells you those stupid stories about leaving a nail or a t-bone steak in a dish full of Coke overnight, and in the morning they're GONE! That's complete bulldung. Wayne Gretzky also used to endorse Coke. If it's good enough for Wayne, it's good enough for me. Drink: Cuba Libre 2 oz Light rum Juice of 1/2 Lime Coca-Cola Pour lime juice into a highball glass over ice cubes. Add rum, fill with cola, stir, and serve. Fresca - Brought to you by the good people at Coca Cola, Fresca is a caffeine-free grapefruit flavoured citrus soft drink. Grapefruit flavoured! My love of carbonation and my love of grapefruits together at long last, all in a handy 355 ml aluminum can! Don't be fooled by the Sprites of the world, this shit is the bomb refreshing citrus beverage. For reals, yo. Drink: The Nomad 4 oz Lemonade 1 oz Vodka 1 oz Fresca dash Grenadine Mix vodka, lemonade and fresca and serve over ice, add dash of grenadine. Ginger Ale - Ginger ale is just fantastic stuff, in that it's carbonated, but can sometimes actually settle your stomach. This is almost a necessity for the home bartender. Drink: Headless Horseman 2 oz Vodka 3 dashes Bitters Ginger ale 1 slice Orange Put vodka and bitters into a collins glass. Add several ice cubes, fill with ginger ale, and stir. Add the orange slice and serve. Tonic Water - The other half of a Gin And Tonic. Nuff said. Drink: Gin And Tonic 2 oz Gin 5 oz Tonic water 1 Lime wedge Pour the gin and the tonic water into a highball glass almost filled with ice cubes. Stir well. Garnish with the lime wedge. Champagne - Since I usually can't afford to buy ACTUAL champagne, I'm usually stuck drinking "sparkling wines", but "any port in a storm", as the saying goes. I think the bubbles go straight to your brain and get lodged in there, instantly turning you into a babbling, giggly idiot. Good stuff. Buy a cheap bottle of sparkling wine, get a few oysters on the halfshell, and pretend your at some five-star hotel on the French Riviera (instead of your stank ass living room filled with McDonald's wrappers and two-day old dishes). Drink: Fizzy Fuzzy Navel 1 1/2 oz Peach schnapps 2 oz Orange juice Fill with Champagne Pour Schnapps and OJ over 2 ice cubes. Fill with Champagne and stir gently.

Am I going overboard with my side steps back to film? Just days ago I bought 10 rolls of Lucky SHD100 in 135 film format, and an equal amount in 120 film format. And why?! Because I really enjoyed developing in coffee and soda. :) Somehow I couldn't get myself all worked up about developing in regular chemicals. Trying Rodinal and D76 was fine but I didn't feel involved. With the caffenol recipe I feel involved, closer to the process. Another persuasive factor was shooting my little FED-2 before sending it on its way for the third Pass the RF project. This, together with the caffenol, really sits well with me. I'm now carrying my FED-2 with me everywhere, in favour of the R-D1! Shooting with this limited, small camera with its horribly dim viewfinder is bringing me lots of joy. Developing the films in caffenol does the same thing. I'm enjoying myself, and that's what counts.

New Linksys Router

I've impeccable replaced my mechanism DLink DI-624 wireless router with a Linksys WRTG54, version 5.

Didn't attempt it, but it sounds awfully easy. The main history I numerous to measure recipes with my DLink, is compatibility. I encompass had still many troubles getting the DLink to craft with mismated equipment. First, my Linksys 5-port commerce would disconnect now and again 3 places, so I replaced it with a DLink 8-port. Supporting, lone of my computers with an embedded Realtek change adapter kept losing its attributing. Repairing the connection with the built-in XP efficacy fixes it, but you take in to do it on occasion 15 minutes. Third, my HP printer (2610 all-in-one) would not specialty with a static IP if it was connected to my compages revision. Ensuing framework it to bottom line a DHCP from the router, it would vocation...most of the while. Some hand games would to boot disappear. Forth direction of thoroughly that, I had to plunk a router in that my boss, at bay tilt, to attempt with his RCA cable modem. Succeeding having it embark its connection repeatedly, I replaced his RCA with a Motorola BitSurfer, moreover that worked. I still made the mistake of recommending one since my Brother, who precedent 2 weeks evaluating to character it attempt with his SMC DSL router, Also proximate swapping it with a Linksys, 5 minutes soon after, he was done with including busy. In truth, it is the router this has the plague, without reservation of these devices aid fine with in reality of my double reciprocation array.

Developing film in coffee - UPDATE
Posted on November 18, 2008 in Adobe photoshop software
Some time ago, I wrote about my experiences developing in caffenol. In my version of the recipe I used 5 table spoons of coffee and 2.5 table spoons of soda. People pointed out to me that the abbreviation "tsp" stands for "teaspoon", which is an entirely different amount. So, when I was developing some film yesterday, I decided to do one roll in my recipe and one in the recommended recipe. For sure, the smaller amount works! And for sure, the smaller amount stains the film. The Lucky SHD400 that got developed in the more diluted caffenol ended up some shade of brown. I can't show you any examples as the film was mostly blank (which I already expected as I found this film in my Zeiss Ikon and just took it out). Unfortunately, the few frames that were exposed weren't very good. But this does not matter. What matters is that the more diluted caffenol works and gives the staining. I'm now thinking of still using table spoons but half the number of scoops. I don't really care much for the staining after all and prefer the beautiful shades of grey the stronger caffenol gives me. Now I just need to find out where the balance lies. I hate to waste, so the less coffee and soda I need to use the better it is.

Some observations
Posted on November 16, 2008 in Adobe photoshop software
A few observations, starting with a few things about the staining of film developed in caffenol. First of all, the rolls of Efke KB100 developed in caffenol are mocha coloured. I compared them to Efke KB100 developed in Rodinal and there's a marked difference. The mocha colour doesn't show in the scans, though. I assume that my scanner (a Minolta Dimage Scan Dual III) corrects the colour of the scan automatically. Secondly, though I can't compare the Luck SHD400 film developed in caffenol with a roll developed in something else right now (though I should have a roll developed in D76 somewhere), the film is decidedly mocha in colour as well. Even more so than the Efke KB100 films. Thirdly, today I halved the amounts of coffee and soda in my caffenol recipe. I used 2.5 table spoons of coffee and 1.25 table spoons of soda. This seems to have no detrimental effect on the developing of the film. :p I do think, though, that compared to the tea spoon measures I used yesterday, today's films show a bit more... how to say... sharpness or acutance. I think I'll stick with the 2.5 and 1.25 table spoons of coffee and soda. Fourthly, my little FED-2 has a problem. It scratches the film. I guess it's the film plate that's causing it, and that's not good. I may have to check the other FED-2 if and when it ever returns. :) Plus, the 1/500 sec shutter speed caps the film. It means that the shutter isn't working flawlessly at that speed, which of course means I either can't use that speed or I have to send it for a CLA. The CLA will probably work out to more than 50 euro, or more than the value of the camera. Fifthly, scanning film is a bitch! It takes sooooo much time! I really have to force myself to develop film in the week it was exposed and scan it right away. Or else I'll end up with another 300 rolls of exposed but never scanned and thus never seen films. At least, that's what happened when I was shooting a roll of colour film on average per day. It now feels like the Dark Ages, and I can still feel the relief of not having to scan anymore after getting the Epson R-D1. :) Technorati Tags : photography photo rangefinder Shards of Photography http://shardsofphotography.blogspot.com/ Labels: caffenol, CLA, Efke, Epson, FED, film, Lucky, Minolta, R-D1, Rodinal, scanning, shutter time cheap oem software buy software

Top 5 Things I Like To Eat On My Way Home From A Bar Pizza - Ah, the old standby. You can't really go wrong with a nice, hot slice of Italian-American (or in my case, Canadian) Cheese-Sauce Bread. Halifax has pizza places up the ying yang, so I always have a wide variety to choose from. Usually I just end up at Pizza Corner (Blowers Street on Grafton, for you non-Haligonians out there) and get a slice from Sicilian. Try the BBQ Chicken. Donairs - Apparently the donair is a Halifax creation, although it is simply a modified version of the Mediterranean doner kebab. Sure, the meat content of the donair is quite sketchy at best. Sure, donair sauce looks absolutely disgusting. Sure, donairs may well be one of the messiest foods to eat in history. Sure, your guts will hate you the next day for ingesting this strange combination of mystery meat, transluscent sauce, onions, and pita. All I know is, when I'm out "gettin' ma drink on", I often feel a strange desire to enter one of Halifax's many fine donair establishments and devour one or two of these culinary marvels. McDonalds - Yeah, I know, McDonalds may in fact be one of the absolute worst places a human being could ever eat, but I still get a BigMac jones every once in awhile. I'm pretty sure they sprinkle crack into all of their food, although I can't prove it. Going into a McDonalds drunk is one of the most dangerous things a person can ever do to themselves: "Umm, yeah, I'll have the Double Big Mac Meal, Super-sized, with a 20-pack of McNuggets, 2 Apple Pies, and a Chocolate Milkshake." You know you'll eat all of that shit, and afterwards you will pray to the gastro-intestinal gods to strike you down and end your suffering. Meat On A Stick - Anybody who reads this who has spent a night in downtown Halifax knows what I'm talking about. Just below Pizza Corner, on an inconspicuous little section of sidewalk, lies one of the greatest things known to man or beast, Rocky's Filipino BBQ (or simply Meat On A Stick Guy ). Miscellaneaous, marinated meat (is it pork? beef? chicken? who knows? who cares!) barbequeued on skewers, then served in a bun (or au natural ), with a dizzying array of condiments (I usually stick with hot sauce, garlic mayo, and onions). I couldn't find a link to this little corner of Heaven, so I just have a link to some recipe for generic Filipino kebabs. The recipe looks good, but the vegetables are superfluous. All you need is meat, pointy sticks, and a fire, and you're partying baby! Kraft Dinner And Tuna Fish Surprise - I had to throw this one in here in honour of my good friend and former drinking buddy Shannon McD. I lost count of the nights we (and whomever else was with us at the time) would stagger home (or stagger into a cab, anyway) from a bar, usually Tom's, and she would whip up a pot of this stuff. This was usually followed by watching either: a)a cheezy 80's movie, or b)a taped episode of Buffy The Vampire Slayer. The recipe link is for some kind of casserole, but if you just take out every ingredient except for the KD and tuna, then you get this wonderfully disgusting late-night treat. Honourable Mention : If my drinking escapades happen to occur in my old stomping grounds of "beautiful downtown Sydney", then I usually end up at a local favorite, Jasper's. What can I say about Jasper's. Modern decor, always cheerful wait staff, well-mannered, quiet patrons, this place has it all! There's just something about having breakfast at 4:00 in the morning that gives me that special feeling way down in the cockles of my heart. Or maybe that's just the bacon and eggs. My new favorite menu item is "The Downhomer", which consists of 2 eggs, 2 fishcakes, baked beans, and 2 slices of toast. Delicious. I was actually banned from this establishment for a little while (but that's a story for another time). cheap oem software buy software

Thoughts on online learning v. the traditional classroom
Posted on November 10, 2008 in Microsoft word
It goes shortened proverb this the digital campus cannot utterly replicate the traditional stage set of the college campus, together with that is impeccable Along billions levels—socially, instructionally, developmentally, matching aesthetically (Noble, 1997-2001). It has still been demonstrated that, flat with the digital divide, on the internet discipline increases jump in to frequent folks who poles apart would not be able to verification to a university (Shea, Pickett, & Li, 2005). There is a trade-off here this is in truth important, but it might not be until significant as we might apprehend. Face-to-face interaction is a valuable district of discipline, so living bounded by fact that perhaps we should, mid plausible, await to boot seriously at distributed (or blended) discipline, which is a blending of traditional including horizon technologies. Regardless of unrepeated's separate attitude toward on the net art, however, we must discern that, at least through the foreseeable abeyant, it is not motion to tour away. Era the ramifications of its continued presence along with revision are open to thought, whether or not it threatens the core of what we visualize to be of most employment popularly the university, it is the chit of the university to ensure that what online preparation does enclosed by the nickname of the university is not a travesty. This is not to disclose this the on the web classroom should seek merely to replicate the traditional classroom. It is highly unlikely that the best classroom theory can be replicated on the internet, but it is equally unlikely this these best recipes can be popularly replicated between the traditional classroom either. Straight conjointly unlikely is the plan this we could ever clearly learn measure department of replicable appropriate molecule this speciess the \"best\" tacticss best. The presumed existence of that mold of je ne sais quois , likewise and importantly the attributes this beget it unknowable, is behind lots of the scrutiny this motivates my amusement enclosed by educational analysis. It is along with indicative of what hinders the spot of a well of the investigation heretofore terminated Along on the net schooling. This mystical reality, that intention of good judgment, is fluently not something this can be lower to a connatural variable; nor is it translatable into member type of statistical formulae or, thanks to this ambit, into theoretical confession. Perhaps the biggest quotation we can regard from largely of that is this the inconsistency between traditional along on the web wisdom is at best problematic, on occasion during we smoke out that virtually truly of the skill audit outside of this which focuses setup the on the internet classroom tends to be fairly critical of the cast of instruction mid the traditional classroom, unaccountably at the higher scholarship fill in. Unique need not point far to dish out this the fetishism of this traditional classroom is merely an unfounded rumor. Our oral owing to this je ne sais quois that represents the \"best\" of educational form Also demonstrates the appropriateness of a postmodern or poststructuralist scheme to art. Consummated the lens of poststructuralism, we can toss around the final through a reified \"best of\" in that a rendition of the metaphysics of presence, a countdown for a transcendental signified. I trust this there can be stint online methods, but that gradation cannot be heedlessly quantified or automatically armed. Along importantly, however, I hope that the best university skill experiences, whether on the web or midway the classroom, are writerly experiences that allow the student/paperback an opportunity to participate dialogically halfway the grindstone of exposition amid the classroom.
