  1. Could it be some sort of weird daisy or something? Or one of those weeds that look like a daisy? >_< No more bugs and I don't think I would try any recipe unless it has been tried and tested caterpillars **shudders**, a long time back when we had a vegetable patch... We gave up because of pests, they'd eat through so much and despite every effort, me and my grandfather failed to keep a healthy patch I don't think I've ever picked a tomato for consumption.
  2. @ Real butter I agree. As for the flour, like I said earlier I made a few practice batches with different variations (egg yolk/white and complete plus the two flours). I made it in cake flour so I guess I will try with regular flour later when I get eggs.I am pretty sure the swans will be awesome thanks to you.. Its the cake I am worried about since this will be the first one I've ever made Aaaah wish me luck, plenty of it.
  3. This is a thread for both discussion of the identities and a vent about the really sad way the manga is shaping up. Inspired by a topic made a long time back aboutNaruto's Father, I decided to open a thread to discuss about who these two mystery men could be. Now, earlier it assumed that Kabuto worked for himself after having absorbed Orochimaru.. But it seems like he is still playing lackey for someone, I dearly hope Masashi Kishimoto does not bring back Orochimaru because that would be super desperate. The second one is Tobi, I love this character.. He is superbly twisted and funky at the same time, It was generally accepted that Tobi and Madara were the same since the dude claimed to be Madara. So he possesses one Sharingan & one Rinnegan(This is the one he "took back" from Nagato). But curveballs must exist to play with our happiness therefore who should show up from one of the edo tensei crypts? Of course, MADARA UCHIHA HIMSELF!. This has ignited the original TOBI = OBITO theory which had been dropped when Tobi claimed to be Madara... Quite honestly I am sick of hearing the obito theory, I just want that dead kid to stay dead under that damn rock. To challenge the Obito theory, there have been other candidates like Shisui(another dead guy) and Sasuke(yeah, I actually saw a post about this on a manga board). Personally, I think Kishimoto is tired of his project(can't blame him) and it shows because the really cool and exciting battles at the start of the war are now pretty stretched and cheesy (the five kages coming together to fight). So do you think Masashi Kishimoto will reintroduce an old friend/foe or perhaps introduce us to someone completely new. I think he should have a gag version where Sasuke's dad is actually Tobi but I think Tobi could be one of the original orochimaru projects, Yamato being the Senju clone and Tobi being the Uchiha clone or uchiha+senju mixbreed. I wanted to add a few more points but I am too lazy to check the manga
  4. [media]http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ is a fruitful hobby, during one such session a few days ago, I came across a video watched by me months ago. Its basically a dad with his little baby(Scarlett is her name). In the video, he is obviously trying to get her to smile or laugh but ends up making her cry unintentionallyThe for the win (FTW) moment for me the baby's grimace, you can tell from her expression that she is trying so hard, waging an honest battle against herself to avoid crying... And then she looks at her mum and just gives up :lol:So who has a video that can better this one? Another of my favorites has to be the daddy creeping out his son with his sonic boom [media]http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/]
  5. My brother is out for first blood >_> ... I was so excited about making the swans so I started practicing and actually got 2 of them perfect, but here is the thing, I cannot make the swans since it is not a "cake"... Funny how a dessert/pastry competition has turned into a bloody sponge cake competition.. But my heart is set on making the swans so I've decided to make a basic 2 layer cake with blue colored butter cream frosting... The blue cake would be a lake for the swans, no way is my bro ripping me apart from those pretty swans.. And yes, you are correct.. you could sink into one of them >_<I had a few doubts, one being the egg.. Can I use both white and yellow or am I to leave out one component? and secondly, what do you mean by real butter? like unsalted butter? Because real butter in India is white and I can't say it is really baking friendly since it has a completely different taste and texture when cooked. And lastly, flour = cake flour? or all purpose flour because Maida(a cake flour cousin) & Atta (bread flour) along with its many relatives exist here
  6. OOOH That sounds lovely... That sounds really really awesome.. Thank you so much Mrdee

    WOW, I think I wetted the heads of puppies of an entire town Because I faintly remember the scotch and slideshow bit. As for the slinging around, sheepdog is right.. Many times mums will tug too hard while biting it off or they'll scramble around with the pup still attached, A German Shepherd once stood up and RAN! the pup got yanked a lot and it developed into a really bad hernia, it survived though My own dog had done it during the first pup, I think she was confused about what was happening >_< so she kept twisting and turning and the pup got spun around before I caught it. Distemper too, I hate it when pups develop it even if it happens rarely... It is horrible. HA HA HAHAHAHA you were really rubbing it in weren't you?
  8. The older packages like plan 3s, 7s, 9s, plan a,b,c,d & e plus the freedom plans have webmail but we discontinued those packages when we launched the logic plans. It really doesn't make a difference who the mail provider is as long as you have fast services & are not blocked. Besides not everyone uses all of 999 email addresses so Opa didn't see the point of having webmail as the standard mail provider. Google apps does the same thing that Webmail does with a better interface and reputation :unsure:Besides, if you've been hosted, you should have received the google app details along with your cpanel hosting details. Pm me your domain name and I'll have it looked into if you don't have your app details in them.
  9. ooooh you are a fan of Yearning? \m/ .. How good is Wyrd? I've heard a few songs and didn't really catch onto them. Ever listened to Bathory?Right now, I am listening to Florence + the Machines - What the water gave me & Coldplay - Lost
  10. lol Which movie is this? And now, its heart of Gold - Neil Young
  11. I am pretty sure there is at least one song in every one's mind that irks the living daylights out of them. I was just listening to the radio when Shakira's Waka Waka came on.. I shall not lie for I HATE that song...Especially when the dame goes Waka Waka, it sounds so wrong and just.... yeah.. So any irritating songs you people can think of?
  12. Yeah, I would often growing up hear at the family table "Oh, did you hear about your Aunt Sheela, buzz buzz latest shenanigan buzz buzz".. And when we'd meet Aunt Sheela, we were expected to act as if it never happened... Good training for celeb stuff like this. Coming back to topic.. I guess this marriage will appear in some random entertainment list of "shortest weddings" pretty soon, she'll make the headlines/radio shows and so on because of the divorce, make some more money and then end up with another guy.. lol Moving on...
  13. I watched V for Vendetta recently and V's monologue got me all roar/grrr/ho yeah! and so on Does anyone have any movie dialogues they remember that got them all excited? Even funny ones would do.. Something that really awakened an extreme version of an emotion inside you.
  14. Every disney product ranging from Ashley Tisdale, Selena Gomez, Miley Cyrus and whatever else comes out from there. Justin Bieber, wow if that child were to be anywhere around me while I was out on a drive....Artists can't help but be overrated since producers/labels in hopes of getting the next best hit tend to pick up random people.. Then they compose, auto tune and market the mediocre lyrics with catchy repetitive zombie beats. Then of course, there are the outright desperados like Lady Gaga and many hip hop whatevers...I guess it is a matter of perception in the end since many current iconic bands were not really a hoot in their time.. But I shudder at the thought of calling Bieber an icon.. No pubescent child is going to teach me about love
  15. Thank you for the wonderful recipe but I wanted to know if you could help me with a few things, firstly if I wanted to calabash(hopefully you are familiar with the taste), how would I go adding it, I also wanted to add spinach to it.. Also, do you know how to make a vegetable stock from scratch? I would love for a recipe on how to make vegetable stock.Keep the recipes coming
  16. Guess I am not the only drunk around, someone in my building is singing "Give it to me baby"

      The Rick James version not Offspring's pretty fly... Wow, he should stop singing

    You can also give direct links to the slideshow, do you see the slideshow when you click on the link? I think Opa will enable the gallery embed once he upgrades to the latest version, would be easier and much more fun to share pics then.http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/

    http://forums.xisto.com/gallery/album/46682/58-the-puppies/ Now this is interesting indeed, I remember reading your post and then fiddling with the gallery to see what I could do but didn't realize I published the post, wetting the heads of 8 puppies and their parents is a tricky job And here is your scotch **hands you a glass**, I hope you like yours with ice.You in your birthday suit is not G rated so we'll omit it unless you have pics with strategically placed puppies Wow, December 27th isn't far at all But I guess Dido will still have Gaston & Lady, babies & puppies do so well, I am so sure Paige is gonna have a lot of fun.
  20. Omg! Finally, some one who understands how frustrating it can be while taking pictures of cuteness. While photographing my kitten, half the pictures would end up being trashed since things would move just as the shutter did its job. Digital cameras are handy since most of my collection is candid and impulsive.. But a professional camera would be so much better. That's odd. I am not sure why it is doing that.. I've reattached the images for you. The one with the buffaloes, you should definitely zoom in on that one, I actually caught the bird going towards the neck of the buffalo
  21. We already have a support forum The support forum And we have multiple suggestion forums so there is no need to add another one. What kind of suggestions did you have? Maybe I can point you in the right forum if you tell me what kind of a suggestion you had in mind.
  22. I seem to be dabbling into all the wrong sorts this season for not only did I start gardening but I got myself into trouble in the cooking department . Now I cook regular food but have absolutely no experience with pastries or baking of any kind... And I've been entered in this cake cook off >_> so I wanted to know if anyone could give me a recipe for cakes.. You will have to literally teach me to do everything from baking to frosting and so on. The theme is animal cake. So I was thinking of doing something really simple like a cow or a pig since I would then be able to stick to regular frosting and keep it circular No cupcakes allowed which sucks since that was my original idea. And how difficult do you thin k is to make a soaked cake as compared to the regular baked one...I hope someone can help or else I am going to have to do dishes for my brother for 6 months... And he is a messy cook.

    Firstly, CONGRATULATION GRANDPA AND GRANDMA!!!! I actually saw the pictures first and then came to the post I am so happy for you guys and I hope you'll keep us posted on their growth and more PICTURES!!! Yeah, my dog was the same during her first whelping, she had absolutely no idea on how to clean or get the baby dry so I had to do it in front of her and then her instinct kicked in and everything was smooth. I know what you mean, the wet fur makes it harder to guess. One of Delphi's pup was a brownie which I mistook for a black pup. Like I mentioned earlier, I saw the pics first and was shocked by your little polar bear.. She is so pudgy and so cute >_<.. She is definitely going to have a silverish coat as an adult or I at least I hope she remains beach blonde Ha ha ha ha Must have been quite a rush for you. It is so funny because you have them in pairs, chocolate girl + chocolate boy, golden girl + golden boy, black boy + black girl and then the oddball couple of black boy + chocolate girl. Amazing how you got all colors in one litter. Its true, I've been working at the family vet's for quite some time and we've hardly seen multi colored babies from solid parents. I was sort of a mid wife for a black lab couple a few months ago and all babies were black though one of the grandparents was a goldie Maybe the color comes from Dido's and Lucky's ancestry. I am glad that both mother and babies are doing well, they are so adorable. Me and a friend have decided to wet the puppies' head tonight Let us hope for the very best and congratulations on your addition (Gaston)
  24. Topic is resolved.Please PM any moderator to continue this discussion. Until then, this topic is closed.
  25. The thing is, it is not the responsibility only of the celebrity to act as role model. Quite honestly, I think we are using the cowardly way out of being role model ourselves by expecting celebrities to do it. I mean come on, these are twisted people with issues like ourselves... You cannot expect someone who is troubled to be the guiding light for other troubled people (The blind leading the blind ). Which is why I said, it is time to sweep it under the rug. The other fact is that we expect celebrities to do dumb things like this, if a celeb were to tell you that they support a charity, you'd scoff at them accusing them of doing it insincerely. But if they were to get caught doing dumb things, you'd probably be the first to pick up the tar and feathers So we should simply assume one of our Aunt Kims decided to get drunk and get hitched in Las Vegas.. Now she is regretting it and is divorcing it I know it makes my life simpler to think of her some Aunt Kim
