That same year, Mickey also appeared in Steamboat Willie, written and directed by Disney and animator Ub Iwerks. An immediate hit, the film was Disney's first attempt at using sound and the first fully synchronized sound cartoon. Music is prominently featured, and Mickey first appears in the film whistling the song Steamboat Bill | ||

 | Originally a scene painter for the opera, Daguerre was a French inventor who devised one of the first practical photographic processes—the daguerreotype. He, in collaboration with Nicéphore Niépce, found that a permanent image could be formed on a silver iodide-coated copper plate if it was exposed to light, then fumed with mercury vapor and fixed by a solution of common salt. His daguerreotype process was announced in 1839 at the Academy of Sciences | ||

Hard Drink
Photograph by Bernardo Cesare, National Geographic
A polarized-light photomicrograph reveals a crystallized drop of Aperol, a brand of bitter liquor that lends its orange color to the popular Italian aperitif spritz. “I had never taken photomicrographs of drinks ... because there's somebody—Michael Davidson—who does this job at an unbeatable level,” writes Bernardo Cesare. After showcasing Davidson’s work alongside his own rock photomicrographs at a conference, Cesare received a suggestion: Try Aperol. “I did it, and the result is what you see here.”

CROCKPOT RECIPE ... THANKSGIVING

CrockPot Mashed Potatoes with Cream Cheese and Sour Cream Recipe
Make these potatoes. You won't be sorry. This is one of those recipes where I wonder if the crockpot is really necessary, or is it just being used to keep the potatoes warm. You have to use the stove to boil the potatoes, and then you smash them with the cream cheese and the sour cream. I suppose you could argue that the crockpot isn't necessary, but I used it. Because it makes me happy, and that's what I do. These potatoes are too good to not share, and I'll let you be the judge about whether or not the crockpot is a necessary tool. The Ingredients.
--5 pounds of red potatoes
--1 block of cream cheese, room temperature (8 oz. I used light)
--1 cup sour cream (I used light)
--1 chicken bouillon cube
--1/2 cup of water, reserved from boiling the potatoes
--1 tsp garlic powder
--1 T dried parsley
The Directions.
Wash and peel the potatoes, leaving the skin on some if desired. Cut in quarters to quicken boiling time. Put the pieces into a large pot and cover completely with water.
Bring the potatoes to a boil on the stove top. Boil rapidly for 10-20 minutes, or until potatoes are fork-tender.
Scoop out 1/2 cup of the water from the pot. Add the bouillon cube to the water.Drain the potatoes, and return to pot.
Open the cream cheese and put into the pot with the hot potatoes. Add sour cream. Pour in the water with the bouillon cube, also. Add the parsley and garlic powder.
Mash with a potato masher. If you don't have a masher, the way that I seem to not, you can use a wire wisk. It'll work just fine.
After smashing well, scoop the potatoes out of the pot and place into a 4 to 6 quart crockpot. Cook on high for 2 hours, or on low for 4. Can be kept on warm indefinitely. After two hours on high, my potatoes got a bit crusty on the top and edges.
They were divine.
The Verdict.
So very good. My kids seemed to have thought that these were spicy (makes no sense whatsoever) and weren't thrilled with the bits of skin I left on. I like a bit of skin, and so does Adam, but apparently the kids find it highly offensive. I gave a quart to our friends, and they loved them.

Gratitude Stones
Materials:
- Stones (washed and dried)
- Tissue Paper
- Scissors
- Glossy Mod Podge
- Paint brushes
Directions:
1. Cut out a small tissue paper heart with scissors.
2. Place the heart on the surface of a clean stone. Using a paint brush, lightly spread a thin layer of Mod Podge over the tissue paper and top half of the rock. Allow this layer to dry undisturbed.
3. Flip the rock over and spread Mod Podge over the bottom half. Allow this layer to dry undisturbed.
When the rocks are dry, notice how seamless and smooth they feel! The thin tissue paper conforms to every nook and cranny within the rock so that it almost seems a natural part of it!

bored panda
Do you have a cat? Do you dream of having one? Then you have an exceptional taste in choosing your companions! Life changes forever after you bring this little furry ball to your apartment.
Who else would look down on you like you’re a piece of dirt? Who else would demand food as if you’re their personal slave? Who’d warm you up when you’re down and purr to cheer you up? Let’s enjoy it while we can!
Once, Terry Pratchett said: “Cats will amusingly tolerate humans only until someone comes up with a tin opener that can be operated with a paw.” We have made an illustrated guide to the advantages of having a cat!
I could see my photos...but nothing on the gratitude stones:(

ReplyDeleteNational Education Support Professionals Day honors all the staff workers in the education sector that would assist them to create the public school more reputable. These things should also happen in the institutes of designing. As I'm a professional designer and I provide the best services of presentation design. I usually see the opposite thing in my institute so I think this kind of thing should be happen in our institute to increase its reputation.
