Pomodroido - App for Students

Bede found this application for the android and I use it all the time for uni. It's a great little study tool! You can set the duration of your study time and break times and how many you need to complete to be rewarded with a longer break. It also gives you a rank which is based on the number of study sessions you have done that can be a little bit of an incentive.

If you have a good study system this may also be useful for completing assignments. I'm using it at the moment, as soon as I get home from work I start the timer. I use the breaks to get a cup of tea/snack or get up for a quick walk and they reward after 4 x 25 minute study sessions is usually an episode of my favourite tv show Rescue Special Ops :P Oh, and its FREE!!! So download it now and STUDY STUDY STUDY! *Carmen you should get this!

    And I just learnt that 'pomodoro' is Italian for tomato! And is the name of the 25 minute study technique that some Italian fella came up with using a tomato timer.

How to sew a clasp to a medal

The medals didn't come with information on how to attach the medals only how far apart to place them. They miniature medal is obviously just through the eyelet and around the edge (see 1st sketch bellow) but the large medal has two eyelets which could be sewn through just the eyelets (left side of 2nd sketch) and not around the edge or around the edge (right side of 2nd sketch). I only suggest it could have been around the edges because then the mini an full would look the same. Did some research and based on the pictures that I could find (note: mainly British medals) the stitch on the full medal goes only between the two eyelets.   What you will need: - medals and clasps (obviously) - measurements (should comes with medal) - thread matching the ribbon (in this case green and not gold...also obvious) - needle and needle threader - scissors - ruler  Measure the distances according to the information provided with the medal. This is the mini...

NEW - Jagermeister premix cans

For all those Jager lovers out there it now comes in a premixed can!!! Raw is Jagermeister and Pulse (energy drink) tastes exactly like a Jager-bomb that has exploded. Ginger Lime is Raw with a bit of extra flavour. It reminded me of a Smirnoff Mule, so if you like Mule and you like Jager this is the ideal drink. Each can is 1.7 Australian Standard Drinks and 6.5% alcohol. I paid $5.50 a can, which is pretty expensive (Aussie premix drink tax didn't help) but I was excited to check them out. Bottoms up!   Other drinks reviews: Summer Ginger Beer, Broo, Cheeky Rascal, Rubi Rolla Cruizer & WKD Iron Brew St Peter's Ruby Red Ale, Young's Double Chocolate Stout & Newcastle Brown Ale

New Elna - Elina 21 - Sewing Machine

Got my first sewing machine for Christmas from my Mum and Dad. Super excited about it because I've always enjoyed sewing since high school home-ec classes and doing a little bit of costume making at home, and have a few things to do that require a sewing machine. Elna Elina 21 has got all the basic stitches and settings that I'll need and comes with a zipper and button foot. Had a flick through the menu with Bede and did a practice of all the stitches to see what they looked like and also to test the tension. Very please with the machine and I'm about to start a proper project on it, Free Frilly Apron Pattern , which can be followed from this link . Got extra bobbins that fit this machine from Ebay . They were super cheap ($6.80 for 25) and came in a bobbin case which was great. And you can get the same ones in rainbow colours which was really cool.
