Furigana Injector!

Hello Ya'll,

For those of you who are studying Japanese, here is a great add on for Firefox: the furigana injector. Will add furigana (reading for kanji) beside (or above with the Ruby ext.) Can be set to ignore as little as the first 100 Kanji, so is great for beginners and when progress, the readings can be scaled back. I truly think this is a great add on and a must for any Japanese student!

Speaking of studying... a great website I found: http://www.yakitome.com Enter text and a robot, (choice of many different voices) will read it back to you. Also supports German, Spanish, and French.

"star 1879 star Louis "x" "v" "i".... (ex, vee, eye). But great to read articles off web pages too! Let me know what you think!

Yule Altar


Hello Again!

Just wanted to post some pictures of the Yule Altar. Some nice fresh Rosemary, a yule log, wreath, and a Yuletide god and goddess. This was done very inexpensively, I changed the altar cloth out to a new color (by altar cloth I mean mostly rectangular leftover piece of fabric I keep for these occasions.) Then, by draping some ribbons over the altar, and not cutting them or gluing them to something, I can re-use them latter. Found some images on the internet and printed them off, (Hint! buy the ink in bulk and re-fill the cartridges themselves, then it becomes even more inexpensive and good for the planet too). Lastly, I just got some rosemary out of the garden.

Healthy Carrot Cake


Aloha!

Just had the Carrot Cake Clif Bar today. Quite sweet compared to some of their other bars but much better for you than cake. Only 240 cal. and 20% fiber and protein for the day. Highly recommend. I have always been a fan of their blueberry bar.
