Two Virgins
I think I’ve worked out what a “real woman” is (at least in the current “thin women aren’t real” crap that’s been going on)… photoshop free. Thin or fat, in many a skin tone… unmodified and left alone.
I was always more of a Harrison gal myself though. ^_^
Probably one of the best creature horror movies ever made (others: Jaws, Alien).
One point twenty one jiggawatts! Yesterday (March 8, 2010) the OpenSSH project released version 5.4 and naturally will start hitting the various distributions and platforms soon, and again there are some great things to be interested in:
ssh -W smtp.server.example.org:25 my.ssh.server.example.org That has pretty much bags of possibilities, ranging from simple connection tests to piping a file to a remote server that you can't get to directly.
“Only DJs in this area.”
I had to screencap this questionnaire ‘cause it made my night.
Hehe.
Kudos for correcting the apostrophe usage, btw.
So when Ree Drummond gives a specific command in her recipes, she absolutely means it. No shenanigans. Or you’ll end up like me and this raspberry cobbler mess.
Yeah, even down to the type of cream… I’ve made the potato bundles many times now and decided to use single cream instead of double cream/heavy cream when making them for my mother - alas, everything comes out curdled. Fail. I unfortunately have a boyfriend with a dairy allergy/intolerance (it acts like an intolerance but he reacts to the skin test as well, so it’s an allergy I think) so I really need to be careful when I use butter/cream in cooking.
An optical micrograph of a hybrid organic/inorganic polymer film that exhibits both nanoscale and microscale structures due to a competition between self-assembly and crystallization. These materials provide fundamental insights into polymer science and have potential application in nanoscale pattern transfer processes.

Infection Defense May Spur Alzheimer’s
The new hypothesis got its start late one Friday evening in the summer of 2007 in a laboratory at Harvard Medical School. The lead researcher, Rudolph E. Tanzi, a neurology professor who is also director of the genetics and aging unit at Massachusetts General Hospital, said he had been looking at a list of genes that seemed to be associated with Alzheimer’s disease.
To his surprise, many looked just like genes associated with the so-called innate immune system, a set of proteins the body uses to fight infections. The system is particularly important in the brain, because antibodies cannot get through the blood-brain barrier, the membrane that protects the brain. When the brain is infected, it relies on the innate immune system to protect it.
For more information about amyloid beta and Alzheimer’s, go to my post here. If this is true (that amyloid beta is a defense mechanism and not part of the problem), it would really change the way we study and try to treat Alzheimer’s. There was a “vaccine” against amyloid beta plaques that would have been the vaccine against Alzheimer’s, but in clinical trials, it did not significantly help those that received it in the early stages as far as cognitive decline or time to death went. If these researchers are right about their new theory, that could help explain why.
3 My project is modelling ß-sheets, which self assemble into amyloids. I just need to er, stop being ill and get on with it.
My mum’s place has just been redecorated, so I’m putting these up as a record of what it was like before she redid it. As you can see she has fantastic taste ^_^
I always grew up with tonnes of Asian and African masks on the walls, sometimes ceramic fish, or in one case an original Blues Brothers poster (but for a bus stop, so it was huge)!
It’s pretty awesome now too.
This is incredibly cute. If it doesn’t work, click through to see the animation.

I really like this bedspread, but for a massive sofa blanket, all snuggled in. Also, anything with elephants gets voted up in my book…

April Cover Revealed - News - GameInformer.com
Valve is known for making quality first-person shooters: The Half-Life series redefined how players think about the FPS genre, while titles like Team Fortress and Left 4 Dead took team-oriented multiplayer action to a whole new level. But among Valve’s stable of popular shooters, one game stands alone: the mind-bending puzzler, Portal. A small-scale experiment that was squeezed into 2007’s The Orange Box alongside some powerful heavyweights, the love Portal received from fans was beyond anything Valve could have imagined, winning it a full-fledged, standalone sequel. Our 12-page cover story gives you the first details on Portal 2’s new gameplay mechanics, storyline, and some surprising new twists.
Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
*cough* Wait, I’m supposed to be closed to 30 than 20 now, right?

I just tried to “pre-date” an old post, and I can’t get the month clickable in the archive.
See: http://leymoo.com/uploads/calendar.png
real link is: http://blog.leymoo.com/archive/2007/11
There’s also a pre-dated post that I’ve now deleted that wont disappear from the archive.
Had a search about on the help page and can’t find anything.

Hurry the fuck up with that male pill/injection already. You’re breaking my balls here.
In other news, more people are sticking candles in their ears and lighting them to “remove wax”. Sigh.

This was enjoyable.
Well, that was awesome.
My favourites:
David Bowie, Yves Saint Laurent and Lou Reed (Although Eastwood did have sunglasses of win)…
Interestingly, men mainly make their clothes awesome by being awesome. There are precious few female examples of this trait (Beth Ditto, Sue Blackmore, Thatcher - yes I put that one out there. *awaits insults*). It reminds me of a little “pep talk” from Trinny & Susannah where they say that no one will “see” the amazing, unique woman beneath if they have scuffed shoes, tight clothes or super-red lipstick - sod that, I say. Wear what you want and be awesome, and then suddenly you’ll find people copying you.

This recipe is for real beginners, and is also tailored to those with motor control difficulties.
I’ve included it here unedited as you may like it. My knowledge and writing style has got better since then so a rewrite will probably happen soon:
No, not a shampoo. I posted a variant of this this on the dyspraxic adults forum, and it was fairly well received. This is real beginner food - more assembly of ingredients, I would say. (don’t worry people, I will post some more intermediate type things later!)
Summer Dinner Salad.
Cooked meat: chicken and/or sausages work well, so does bacon. What meat you use depends on your skill with a knife: if you want to avoid knives altogether, use chicken and pull it apart with your hands. Use two sausages per person, or one chicken breast per person, but this is not strict.
Green things: Cos lettuce is traditional, as this is a variant of “chef’s salad”. It’s also pretty good in that you do one cut along the bottom and then tear it apart with your hands. Baby spinach is also excellent for this, as it requires no cutting at all! About half of those giant bags you get in supermarkets - the rest is great for sandwiches, or eggs.
Tomatoes: these are better cut, but if you can’t, cherry tomatoes are excellent. Don’t worry about cutting into small pieces unless you can. Add as much as you like!
About 30-40g of cheese per person, ready grated, or cut into cubes if you like.
Tomato and Basil salad dressing.
Black Pepper, if desired.
1. Prepare the cooked meat, the green things and the tomatoes, when you finish each one place in a big bowl all together as you go along. Weigh the cheese and add it.
2. Add some dressing. Stir a little. Keep adding dressing and mixing a little with your hands until everything looks like it has lots of dressing (if you add too much it’s not a huge problem here!).
3. Add some black pepper if you like a bit of punch. Tips:- Taste the dressing before you add it to get an idea what it will taste like.
• Use cherry tomatoes and sausages and take away the dressing and add a small amount of mustard instead. Add some new potatoes. This makes a nice warm meal..
