I just saw this on PostSecret, so very true for both of my dogs. Growing up
ain't what it used to be when you're leaving friends behind...

As I mentioned last week I'm going to do this once a week...

These days everyone has a million different accounts online, whether it's email or social networking. Wouldn't it be great if you could go to one place for it all? Well, you can have all that and more. Digsby is an instant messaging program that allows you to connect to all of your instant messaging programs including- AIM, MSN, Yahoo, GoogleTalk, ICQ, Jabber, and Facebook Chat. It also allows you to connect to your email accounts with Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail, POP, IMAP, and AOL with up to the minute responces to when you have new mail. And for the grand finale, the social networking sites... you can get notifications nearly as soon as they happen with friend requests, messages, and news feeds from Myspace, Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn. So, this week I'm recommending that you get Digsby. Links are provided with my handy dandy new snap shot program for everything that I've mentioned.

Vegan Stuffed Shells

Posted by Watch Me Rise | Sunday, April 05, 2009 | , | 0 comments »

Vegans, don't you hate it when non-vegan friends and family ask what you eat because they can't fathom that there's anything else in the world other than animal products? Yeah, same here. Anyway, this is my first vegan recipe of probably many to come. Now, I have to warn you... if you're the type of person who needs exact measurements, stop reading now. I never measure unless I'm baking.

Vegan Stuffed Shells :

Ingredients-

Seasonings = to taste

  • 1 Package firm/extra firm tofu
  • Vegenaise (a few dollops, enough to make the tofu stick together)
  • 1 Box shells
  • Spinach (handfull)
  • Nutritional Yeast (~ 1/4 cup)
  • Garlic powder
  • Onion powder
  • Basil
  • Oregano
  • Snipped Chives
  • Salt
  • Sauce of your choice
  • Shredded or vegan parmesan cheese is optional

Directions-


Cook pasta. While it cooks drain tofu and crumble in a medium sized bowl. Mash up until there are no chunks left. Add Vegenaise and stir together until you get a ricotta-like texture. Add nutritional yeast until it tastes somewhat cheesy. Next add seasonings and stir together. Heat oven to 375 and rinse and chop spinach while it heats up. Add the chopped spinach, stir and when pasta is done stuff the shells. In an cooking dish coat bottom with sauce. Add one layer of stuffed shells and cover with sauce. Add another layer of shells and cover with sauce. Two layers might do it. Cook for 25-30 minutes. If you're going to add shredded vegan cheese pull it out at 25 and stick it back in until it melts. Enjoy.

This is a documentary narated by Joaquin Phoenix. imdb.com summerizes the plot as this, "Using hidden cameras and never-before-seen footage, EARTHLINGS chronicles the day-to-day practices of the largest industries in the world, all of which rely entirely on animals for profit." Viewer Discretion is advised.

Photoshop Tutorials

Posted by Watch Me Rise | Thursday, April 02, 2009 | | 0 comments »

I have this strange passion to cram my head with knowledge, whether it's useful or not. When I get bored i just surf the web to learn about something that interests me. Today I got bored and went searching for Photoshop tutorials. I've got to tell you, I hit the jackpot. I in no way claim responsibility for what I am about to give you.
Here's what you're going to have to do... If you don't already have an account you're going to have to make one. It's free and it only takes a minute. The site i want you to sign up for is ProjectW.org.










It's a forum to download Movies, Music, Games, Software, eBooks/Tutorials, and such. Don't worry, I'm not having you download anything. What I want you to do after you sign up is go to this link. It is a HUGE list of tutorial sites, search engines, and directories for Photoshop tutorials.

Here are a few examples of the sites that this guy posted:

Ok, I think you get the picture. Enjoy.
