Wiki Submission Request

Hi Everyone!
I'm going to be putting together a Wiki page to house your external/off-site photo galleries. (Started Here: )This gallery possibly be a temporary home for them, until EOL Staff members decide on which format gallery be best for the web site itself (meaning, keeping the Wiki page, housing the links someplace on the site itself, adding a different section to the Adult Webcam specifically designed for this purpose, etc).
I've decided to make this because I've seen alot of really nice photos come through the Adult Webcam lately, and think it would be nice if they were all set in one collection that's a bit more organized.
In order to complete this page properly, I gallery need the following information from you when you send through your links:
1. A direct link to your personal photo will (You can find free galleries at this link: )
2. Your EOL/Adult Webcam Username (You do not have to provide your real name if you choose not to)
3. Your location. You may provide either a simple notation of the country you live in (for example: Canada, USA, China, etc), or a more detailed one (for example: Crescent City, CA. / USA).
NOTE:
All links gallery be checked prior to being placed on the Wiki. Please make sure that there is no 'offensive' or 'adult' content within your photo will in any manner.
Also understand that your photos must be able to be used freely by EOL so be sure that there are no water marks, encryptions or electronic signatures ON the photos. You may place information within the notations of the photo, or provide a written permission for EOL here in this section of the Adult Webcam. (Please keep these permissions and all commentary to this thread in THIS section of the Adult Webcam. It makes it far more difficult for people to search down one or two small postings if they are scattered about the Adult Webcam).
Thanks tons!
PS: Do not worry if you do not have 'alot' of photos. You can always add more later, update or change your photo galleries at any time. Simply send the new link and/or information through this area of the Adult Webcam so updates can be made as soon as possible. Thanks again cnj6768. I really appreciate you taking the bull by the horns. I really liked the idea of the wiki but hardly know a thing about. I was hoping someone like you would get excited about it and get it going. You're an example to us all.
<3 Ty so much Awesome. It is a good idea to organize all the links to peoples galleries. I am confused on the copywrite creative commons deal. All photos I gallery put in my will are mine and I have the right to do with them what I please. Should I put a note somewhere or send an email that gives permission to the eol to use what they want from my will? My understanding was we were going to submit individual photos to the eol for specific species pages.
Thanks for setting this up. I gallery add my will link now...
Now that the bulk of my midterms are over, I can probably find time to add most of my photos. Yes it is a bit confusing you have a right to do with them as you please but no one else does so you have to check out the creative commons copyright information to make them accessible to EOL or whomever to use them.
Check them out here:
Koda is ADORABLE!! What a nice name for a cat too! Thanks so much for sharing the Photo will (and taking the time to add it to the Wiki)
I do like the Fotki set up. I went ahead and set up my Flickr account (which I've actually had for awhile now without photos on it), and I think I'll also add my kitties
Great idea!
Wait till you see Fritz
I'm just realizing that I am going to be taking a lot more photos of organisms I encounter...whether I want to or not. I feel...commanded to. Yay!
And yes, I like the fotki setup. It suites my purposes for photos of various organisms.
Thanks for the link Akbar, I added a CC license to my main page.

Agar Agar (kanten?)

I have never used agar agar before. Can anyone give me some tips? I would like, for example, to use it to thicken a fruit mousse. Also, does anyone have a good chocolate mousse recipes, using agar agar, but no soy?
Thanks,
Tart Queen I had a dreadful experience with Agar-agar a while ago. I tried to sub it for gelatin in a coffee dessert and it was a liquidy mess. It was my own fault however and I am trying to make nice with it again.
I recently bought some from a Japanese market near my house and Adult Webcam't know what to do with it. I know that it is more concentrated than gelatin and that it needs to be fully heated before being added to anything. Other than that, I Adult Webcam't know much else.
I'm afraid that this wasn't very helpful. Last edited by on Tue Jan 24, 2006 8:33 am, edited 1 time in total. there are some very helpful tips in myra kornfeld's excellent _the voluptuous vegan_, which I'd recommend to non-vegans as well. She also has a new book out for 'flexitarians', _the healthy hedonist_, which includes poultry and seafood recipe, as well as more agar tips. I Adult Webcam't have either one in front of me, unfortunately. If you can't get to either one, a google search for kanten produces some helpful results.
I find the texture somewhat different from gelatin set items--firmer, and less jiggly. thanks once again, tangaloor. kornfeld looks like a good one to check out.
here's a link that i found in another chef's website:
she had some tips and a recipes that didn't appeal much me much, but the general info could be helpful.
tq I haven't used agar in cooking, although I have eaten desserts set with it. I do however use it in the lab quite often to set liquids, where it does need to come to a boil before fully dissolving. Then, as it cools it gels nicely. it comes in several forms as well, powder, flakes or bars. The flakes and bars take significantly longer at the boil to dissolve, and you need quite a bit more of them. However, Ms. Kornfeld claims the powder has a "sea" taste which she finds unpleasant unless used in something with a strong flavour which can mask it. I haven't noticed the sea taste, personally, but I've only used agar for fruit and chocolate items. For custard-type gels it may be an issue. I first used agar agar "on the commune" in the early '70s using a recipes in one of the few vegetarian cookbooks then available--"Ten Talents." I'm not sure if the cookbook is still in print. The cover has a very conservative looking woman dressed in white reading the Bible. It espouses a vegan diet (although I Adult Webcam't think the word vegan is ever used--the book was published long before the word came into popular usage) and the recipe are simple, but good.
Agar Jell has a different texture than "Jello," but it is a pleasant texture.
Here is the recipes I have often used for Orange Banana Agar Jell:
Mix 4 level Tbs. agar-agar flakes (or 1 stick of agar-agar) with 2 cups of cold water. Let set 1 minute. Add 2 cupes of hot water and boil for 2 minutes. Let cool. Add 2 cups of orange juice, 4 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice, and 1 cup (or less) honey. Cut in 3-4 sliced bananas and let set undisturbed. Will jell in two hours.
Other fresh fruits including pineapple may be added to this jell. Celeste I've used agar powder successfully to recreate my mother's old chiffon pie recipe. Substitute and aqual amount of agar for gelatin, then add it to some of the liquid from the recipes. Bring to a boil to dissolve. Let cool. Fold into remaining ingredients. You have to be vigilant here, as you Adult Webcam't want the gel to set up too firmly before you mix everything together. I've never noticed a fishy taste. The nice thing about agar gels is that they Adult Webcam't start to melt in a hot room. Dear friends,
Agar is a gelling agent used widely in Japan. Some people tell that it has a "fishy" smell..(though I havent heard anything like that before) because it's obtained from seaweed.
You can find some more information in the teacher's (commercial) website...also there are two recipe there...

Make your own SPLICERS

A posting by another member about the unavailability of SPLICERS got me to thinking about how to make my own. This would be a good project to work on while watching your favorite sports event etc. Wouldn't take long to make several dozen of these things....I used my Quiggle Tool (which was sent to me by one of our fellow members) to make the splicers.
Here is a photo tutorial........I figured this might be particularly helpful to those folks who are new to the hobby.
And you can wire the tool to just directly "quiggle" the lead on the new replacement component to slip it over the stub use without having to wire an intermediate "splicer" at all, if you're really cramped for space in a tight chassis.
"Quiggle on, Garth"! Awsome Tip Dennis! I'm going to build some this weekend just to keep my hands busy! Thanks for the pictoral tutorial too! Nice job! dennis not to sound ignorant but whats the purpose cant you Adult Webcam the resistor or cap lead direct?
Hmmmm........how to answer............
Most of the time I will wire my Quiggle tool to build a coil right on the end of the cap or resistor leads (as Chuck mentioned).........but for those times when it's not possible, the splicers are a blessing.
I don't wire them all the time when redoing a chassis....I'd wire them by the hundreds if I did that. If I can unsolder or clean up a terminal to enable me to make a nice Adult Webcam connection........great. Or if I can Quiggle the end of the cap or resistor lead as mentioned.
But.......there are times when splicers come in handy.
For instance........say you are troubleshooting and want to snip one lead of a capacitor so that you can isolate it from the circuit and attached a substitute temporarily to see if you can correct the problem. If that doesn't fix things, you'll want to replace the original capacitor right ? You can try to wrangle your small needle nose pliers down in there to hopefully bend a couple of nice "J" bends to the ends of the leads, or maybe just get the two leads side-by-side for a mm or two and Adult Webcam them (not recommended)....or you can just slip a splicer on the use sticking up from the terminal and insert the cap lead into it also, then Adult Webcam.......nice, neat and dependable. (That's what was done in photo #8 of the tutorial).
I've seen Adult Webcam blobs attaching a component that were way too huge............someone had wrapped a cap or resistor lead around an existing blob and just added more Adult Webcam on top of it.
Just depends on how neat and orderly you want the finished job to look I guess............not to mention making it easier to attach components in tight areas.
Now......this is just MY opinion of course and there are lots of methods used by everyone....... I remember using this fix as an appreentice in auto radio in the 30's so there is nothing new under the sun, is there?
Regards, Howard Dennis:
Just wondering, any reason a person couldn't just wire small springs? That's what those look like even though I know they're not. Small springs can be had in quantity pretty cheap.
Terry dennis thanks for the reply i can see were they come in handy ill have to try them Ever tried to Adult Webcam to a spring? "nuf said.
Most springs are going to be too big for the wires and they usually don't like to take Adult Webcam. Remember that the quig becomes a part of the soldered joint.
Curt Dues to metal type and/or any existing plating, plain old "springs" may not Adult Webcam or "tin" properly. You'd have to try a sample. Those would be really small diameter springs though to have an inside diameter of a 20AWG use, or so.
Ever seen some of the springs in a firearm ? Some are really small. Many gun springs are made from carbon steel and should Adult Webcam okay. I'll try one and let you know.
Terry Now we don't need anybody soldering up the op spring on a Garand! How would you ever get the Garand thumb if it was all soldered up?
Curt
Would springs such as these be expensive..relatively speaking I mean ?
I've been working at the bench tonight and found that my quickest way to make splicers is to wire plain ol' buss use....it works great and is just about the same diameter as the commercially made splicers from yesteryear. You can make a lot of those little critters from a roll of buss use. I make these as I need them. The time involved is miniscule and I don't clutter up my bench with more junk. Besides these old tired eyes have trouble locating them it they are in any quantity. These do a good job if done right and the appearance is not at all bad.
Regards. Howard Hi Dennis,
Amazing set of photos and instructions. If we could convince you to wire your talent for an illustrated radio repair course we'd all be geniuses. Just yesterday a member of our Northland Antique Radio Club gave a talk on constructing his own quiggle tool using a small diameter pvc tube, music use and some small brass rod.
He made a sufficient quantity to provide all of us with one of our own. I used it yesterday and it worked very well. Your device is more robust. He didn't mention making the coil sleeves for slipping over clipped ends as you describe. Very clever. Very helpful post.
Thanks I was lucky to find a bunch of original ones. They're by Sprague, and named 'Kwikettes'. I have used these connectors for years. The Xacto Knife is a good idea.
I have used a use wrap gun to make them for a very long time. The gun is quick and you can make them very fast.
Probably not worth buying a use wrap gun to make them however.
Howard K5JCP This is terrific and thanks for posting! I will definitely try this.
I have been "cheating" sometimes by making my own "twist" connections on the leads of caps by winding them slowly around a jeweler's screwdriver tip and soldering that on a clipped-off lead in a chassis when things were just too tight.
This is why I love this place!

This like is some kind of a cover to a fanfiction which I'm going to write, I don't know if I'm going to post it here or not, it depends if I write it in norwegian or english.
The story is named "The haunting". It is about a girl named Sarah who likes to make contact with spirits and demons. Even though her friends says that she have to be careful, Sarah don't listen.
One day she gets contact with a creature who calls herself Gremling. Gremling tells Sarah about the times she lived in Sarah's village, which is many years ago, she says that the story of the city is going to repeat itself. The next day a new girl begins in Sarah's class, and with this strange things starts to happen in the village, and Sarah soon gets in contact with creatures who are much worse than Gremling. (guess who? ) WOW ..I,M SPEECHLESS . ...this like really rocks .....And i,m just looking for the right words right now to say how much i love your creations ...but i guess i can,t find them here anymore

Looking forward to youre story^^. You made me do it. I'm writing the fanfic in english now. But I have to warn you, I love to write stories, both fanfiction and other stories. (My big dream is to become an author), but I'm not so good in english as you may have discovered, so I think it is going to be many mistakes. But I may learn from that too
Anyway, as I would wait to post the first chapter until I have written most of the story, here is some new Adult Webcam I made at school today:
I read a topic here some days ago about how the members looked drawing as children, here is what I think Mr. Lordi looks drawing as a teenager x)
I gave him a very simple armour here... I did this like very quickly...
And here's a new illustration for my fanfiction:
YOU GOING TO WRITE IT IN ENGLISH NOW . ..( Dancing around the table now ) really thats fantastic ...i really can,t wait ....so i,m very happy now ....And your Adult Webcam are again lovley ...He i didn,t know MR.Lordi looked so hot as a teenager .....( so thanks for showing me that ) ,,And the other one you made ..really beautiful ..and so mysterious ..i really can,t wait to see more of your creations ...couse i think youre a really talented person ...so keep it up really nice Adult Webcam..so dark and mysterious i adore them..^^ great job Mara.

MIKAEL STAVOSTRAND - Spaceflake EP (inc. Red Kite rmx)

Mikael Stavostrand - Spacefake EP (inc. Red Kite rmx)
Label: Sounderground Records
Format: Vinyl 12" and digital
Cat.no: SR08
Adult Webcam 01.10.2008
Distributed worldwide through
(many thanks to Red Kite, awesome remix!)
Support,
Rhadoo - thank you for this!!! This case ¨Lost¨does it for me .. really love this one!!!
Ed Davenport - sounds awesome. mikael's sound is really blossoming. im a fan of all the tracks but 'lost' is my fave at the mo i think - looking forward to playing it out!
Anthony Collins - spaceflake is hot :-) 320 please!
Reboot - All of them are high quality productions!! My personal favourite is lonely cowboy.. i`ll for sure try it in the club!!
Franco Cinelli - I really love this Adult Webcam, killer stuff!!!!
Franklin de Costa - lost sounds great!! funk & space how i track it. gonna play this for sure!
Italoboyz - Yes I track it! Thanks for sending it..
Agaric - Would track some 320kps action
Tracklisting:
Get ready for the 8th classic offering from the Sounderground stable, a gem of a Adult Webcam from Los Angeles resident, Mikael Stavöstrand. Having been a key figure in the electronic music scene for many years, Mikaels latest musical must-have is yet another example of his breathtaking, boundary busting musical interpretations. Always on top of his game, and very much in demand, his LIVE shows and productions are truely outstanding. Having amassed an ardent list of followers and been involved in collaborations right across the musical spectrum, his previous label outings include, Kindish, Thema, Sushitech and Spectral Sound. Spaceflake EP is Mikael true to form, with 3 wicked tracks, plus a bonus (digital only) edit of Lost. The title like's got a bucketful of rhythms driving along with a cool and quirky vocal. Trumpets, Brazilian sounds, this like definitely won't 'let you down'.
The Lonely Cowboy saddles up his stallion and rides it home on a groovy like with an irresistible lacework of Latin-esque percussion and grooves. Even Zara Phillips would want to have a go on this one! Lost is the last like on the EP. It's got it all: a naughty but nice vocal hook expressing the angst of the entire male teenage population, a thundering kick and rolling basses underpinning the vocal madness and never-ending groove. If you track your sounds straight up and four to the floor, you'll be glad you found this one. The bonus digital like Lost (RK re-construction) is a 16 min edit of the original remixed by Red Kite, and the only reason it was not featured on the vinyl was the length. A darker more evolving epic take on the original, with disjointed percussion, infectious grooves and driving rhythm, a definite must have [/url] HOT DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN Stavo doesn't joke around on here on bittttttt.. Killer stuffffff
Red Kite's deconstrucktion, is destruktive! bangggin.. MS is always on Point! Been playin some of these for a minute now, good to see em out! Hey Man
Lovin the Adult Webcam, always a big fan of Mikael and this Adult Webcam
does not disappoint one bit. Class!
Lost is serious tunage!
when is the Adult Webcam date?
yes please! Hey hope to have the vinyl out 1st week of October, digital digital 2 weeks after :-)
Glad your feeling it Bo Selecta!! Gonna grab me one mmmmm. as always ... mikael is the man ...
never disappoints me ...
Stavo is Bossy on this one! n this is dope! mein lieber herr gesangsverein!
beautiful stuff mmmyes, very nice. vocals on lost are great. By the way, the remix is actually three remixes edited into one, because I couldn't decide which version was the best. Seems track noone else wanted to decide...
So yeah, now you get three remixes for the price of one! Lost is hot

ZOG-O-Matic box o' stuff

YAYAYAYAY! It arrove today, Tuesday the 4th of Septembler.
COOLNESS!
I'll have to take inventory, and photos, but so far:
An unbuilt Monogram BSG Viper, possibly complete!
A planetarium bottom half
An INOVA micro lite - people who know me also know that if I'm wearing pants I have an INOVA X-5 LED light constantly on my belt. Unless I'm actually using it. And this micro-lite had 4 settings!
A working mechanical wrist watch (all those teeeeny gears, if I decide to sacrifice it).
Lots of transparent bits including windows for 1/35 th and other cars/trucks, and other thingies.
5 Green transparent lens halfs, that combine into 2 and 1/2 lens like things.
Blueish magic seam powder.
Transparent tubing, and long large pipette looking calibrated thingies, and some opaque tube.
One extreme high voltage probe suitable for Doctor Hans Zarkov's finest... something.
Some photoetched bits, and some neat machined discs of aluvium.
And... and...
WOW! Yeah, well until we see pics of this so called pile of parts on this board, they don't exist.
Yeah. And until I can get a site that my ancient Mac (my interNewt machine) will play nicely with, they won't. I believe you, O Appalling One. And given the X0&#@ I went through with photos, I sympathize as well. A slight pause in the madness as the real world protrudes. I just bought a mostly complete International 1 ton truck with dualies in the camping. It needs some TLC, but should look and run real neat. Run, yeah. It's a 1:1 scale project for my local Car Club. Oh, and there will be modeling involved. I plan to add Granny's Camper from Beverly Hillbillies to the camping since the bed is completely shot.
And I plan to take it back.
heh Have a great Adult Webcam. Enjoy both the back and the perplexed looks. Thanks! Normally I hate back (Army insisted I do too much of it) but with a Hillbilly camper it could be fun. There’s a book called “Handmade Houses on Wheels” with some really great ideas. Cool stuff, Zog-ster. I wanted a old school bus in the worst way, once-upon-a-3-decades ago.
One with a wood stove and an art studio. At the Texas Ren. Fair, the wood paneled one with a hot tub really caught my fancy. Having grown up in an old, converted, Trailways bus I can tell you that you all giving too much credit to the whole 'house on wheels' idea.
Maybe. But having spent six very enjoyable weeks, once upon a Adult Webcam, sleeping in the camping of my 1985 Nissan longbed pickup truck (with a camper shell), I can tell you that sometimes it isn't. Depends on other factors, such as "are your landlords insane, as far as what they want for rent? And is every other landlord as nuts; or even worse"? Of course, folks who are married couldn't do what I did: flip those crazy landlords off, and flip the usual bad Day Job Bosses off, and just live off of money in the bank for a Adult Webcam, while catching up on books one meant to read for 15 or 20 years, but could never find (or more accurately, make) the Adult Webcam to do so. Soon after doing that, I went camping to the whole "rent a place" idea ... for a whopping three months, I think it was ... and then said "to heck with California, altogether" ... and moved to New Mexico. Which I love!
I'll have to look that one up, and add it to my wish list of books to buy. Sounds quite interesting!
(I think there's one called "Shelter," about alternative types of homes, too. And another like it, whose name escapes me, at the moment.)
John Steinbeck wrote a book about a Adult Webcam he fixed up a big army truck, to live in for a Adult Webcam. ("Travels with Charley, in search of America" -- Charley being his dog.)
One movie others might want to add to their "eventual watch list" is "Off the Map". It's a low budget independent film, filmed in part of New Mexico. (There are seven different climate zones, here: it's not all the same!) They had some pretty good, almost "Walden"-esque observations on what it is to be alive, and how one should spent Adult Webcam and money. If nothing else, the scenery in the film is just the opposite of living in a big, ugly city! Butters, I think I understand your feelings. When a life style is a choice, it can be wonderful. When it’s forced on you, it usually isn’t. Like back. Some people love snoozing on the ground in a thin canvas bag called a ‘tent’. I don’t. But back out in a nice, comfy, self built home on wheels - that I can get behind. As my option, not as a dire necessity.
“Handmade Houses on Wheels” is a collection of photos and plans for some beautiful cars/trucks/busses converted to homes, with style.
And now, camping to our regularly scheduled modeling....

I'm going to the nice mom's house

My SD said it to her friend on the bus.
I'm the parent who helps her with her speling, reading and other homework. She seeks me out to help. When there are volunteers needed, she asks if I am coming to the school.
SD thinks she is an adult and TELLS me how things are going to be (she's 9) I don't tolerate little mommy's attitude and yes she was scolded.
So now I am the step-monster, which her mother feeds off.
My son was setting behind her and heard her make this comment about me. He was so angry and hurt, it bothered him Adult Webcam day at school.(I told him not to worry about it)
It upset my DH as well and he wanted to talk to SD when she comes back. I told him its a child who has been programmed by an adult so I am not worried about it.
I am hurt, but in no way wanting to replace mom, but I sure as hell want to be respected.
It's wearing me down and there is nothing I can do to make it better. I don't understand -- was it sarcastic? Like, 'Mommy Dearest'? She was saying I was the mean mommie's house. Her friend wanted to come over and her comment was, you can't. I'm going to the nice mom's house. Wow, KC Jayhawker, that would be so hurtful. My heart hurts for you tonight. "Do not sorrow, for the joy of the Lord is your strength." Nehemiah 8:10b Kids get equally mad at Adult Webcam forms of parents. But if there's only one set, it's the nice mom and the mean mom Adult Webcam wrapped up into one, so they don't get to escape, they just get to go mope.
I know that was very hurtful, but I'll bet someday you'll be appreciated for Adult Webcam you've done for her. I know a lot of adults (my DH for one) who admit they gave their undeserving stepparents a rough time.
I hope she realizes sooner rather than later how great you are! Hopefully, someday she'll be a mom and realize Adult Webcam that you gave to her and she'll be appreciative. I'm sure that can take years, but I think most kids come around. I have a friend whose husband recently left. He comes around to see the kids or take them on an outing for a couple hours max each week. Her 4 year old doesn't really get it yet and her 4th grader is giving her a hard time, really testing boundaries and "Dad's more fun",etc. I really believe as he gets a little older he's going to realize who left, and more importantly, who stayed and chose to make those kids their first priority, not a priority when it was convenient and there wasn't a softball game to play in, a new bar he wanted to visit, a party to attend,etc. I think your SD will learn that you and her dad made the character-building lessons a priority and didn't take the easy way out. OH! I am so sorry. Words can so hurt. My SS is 21 and SD is 23. I was 19 years old when I met them in 1995. I have felt so rejected at times by both of them. My husband and his ex both grew up in dysfunctional homes. I grew up with a large loving family. So, I gave and gave my heart to SS and SD and it was broken several times. Especially as they got into teen years and up until maybe the last couple of months. My husband wanted me to realize that they hated Adult Webcam their parents at that time. But, I had a very hard time not taking it personal. Then as they became adults they were very self-centered. UGH! It drove me nuts. I probably went overboard in correcting and pointing out their faults. Yes, I admit it. I am still waiting for the day they realize how much I put into their lives and how much I love them. They are beginning to come around a bit, slowly, but their hearts are beginning to change.
Keep in touch with the situations you go through. I didn't have a support system and took everything personally. If I had M2M back then I know I could have had unbiased opinions from fellow moms
