Unnecessary process/instructions from California almonds on “How to make a side dish the main attraction.” On second thought the dish in the ad looks really tasty, maybe this is necessary after all.
Here is step 4, the most important step, “Call attention to the fact that almonds give any meal a heart-healthy boost. Plus, they make it crunchier and tastier, too.”
Okay I’ll admit it, I am a big fan of Project Runway and now the show is back with a new crew. This is the first time I’ve caught the first episode of a new season and it was okay, but I’m ready to cut out the fluff and move on. With that said, I’ll probably be glued to the tv set next Wednesday. What do you think? I know I’m not the only person watching this show.
Have to say I lucked out with this find. Visual definition was the mission for the week and this ad for Speedplay’s Zero pedal system was on target. The ad boasts that the Zero is “the only pedal system that allows you to adjust your fore-aft, side-to-side, and rotational foot positions independently.” So, the Zero gives you total control, just as having a remote control would. So, they use a shoe shaped remote control to represent the control that this pedal system provides.
I was sick earlier this week and it has been a while since I’ve had a full-blown cold; chills, night sweats, aches, etc. I’d almost forgotten how difficult it is to function while sick. I downed the usual meds, Nyquil for bedtime and non-drowsy Sudafed for the day, but still managed to sleep through the night and day (non-drowsy my @!$). On Wednesday I was awake and at my desk for hours, but accomplished absolutely nothing. Just makes me wonder about over the counter medicines and medicine in general. Perhaps I should take more time to research this stuff, maybe later, right now I feel better and I hope this feeling continues. If not I’ll be in class on Saturday to share, because misery loves company.
This ad from Travelocity caught my eye. The image of a man working on a house is overlaid by an image of him on the beach. Which would you prefer? Work or fun? That was my first thought and it is cute, but the ad goes much further when you read the text and find out that Travelocity has a program for “Change Ambassadors” or volunteer travel/vacations. You spend your vacation volunteering and helping a community in the region of your choice. What better way to learn about and be a part of a community while on vacation? So what will it be, sandcastles or houses? Of course, you can pick both if you have extra time.
Okay, last Friday I waited at home for the Fed-X guy to deliver my long awaited copy of Leopard. Since I had to sign for the package I actually took the time to talk to the guy (don’t remember his name) he was in a good mood had a busy day ahead of him, but knew that he we would be greeted by many smiling faces this day. On Friday October 26th, Fed-X guy was Santa Claus!
Leopard, I like it. I really really like it. I’ll hold off on love for now. There are so many different features, I have yet to test and appreciate them all. Stacks have already proved helpful, I can keep my desktop a little more organized quickly. Hadn’t turned on Time Machine, but on Tuesday I wish I had. Tuesday night I lost a few days worth of work files, they just went bye-bye. So I had to start from scratch, luckily a lot of stuff was fresh on my mind. The folder views are nice also, you can take a glimpse at files (illustrator, word, etc) without opening up the program.
I’m still exploring, but so far so good.
