i like cooking the oats in sweetened milk some people prefere sugar as a sweetner but honey is much healthier, then i add some raisins, a pinch of cinnimon and its done. some people like to add nuts to this dish but unfortunately i dont like nuts.

Hi All Experts,
Does anyone use google earth images as ground image planes for use in aerial scenes. I know how to stitch them together but are there any tools or tricks to make sure that the images are at the same height, angle and such to make sure they stitch well. I know in the pro version you can get bigger images but im not going to pay for the pro version when i could stitch multiple images together…

Half and half milk and water is a very good mix. I add to each 40 gram portion of cut oats about 1 gram of salt, and 2 grammes of sugar. Then the liquid is added to the grain in the saucepan and brought to the boil and simmered for a short time. This is done in the evening, and only needs warming in the morning. If you sample in the evening, there may not be enough left for breakfast.

[...] Having managed to get a reliable digital TV signal, I’ve been looking at the additional content that’s now available to me. One show that’s available on the ABC’s digital only channel, ABC2, is music program Dig TV. A segment that I caught was an interview with South Australian band â€œThe Audreysâ€?. This band is described, on their web site, as being â€œalt-country popâ€?. It’s not a genre that I could say that I’m intimately familiar with, but after listening to them performing a single piece, â€œBanjo & violinâ€?, I’m hooked. [...]

[...] I gave my recipe for oatmeal porridge some months ago. I just thought I’d mention that once the 50 grams of oatmeal plus 250 grams of water have been cooked, I’m left with 180 grams of porridge in the pan. These days it’s served with 12 grams of wheat bran, 22 grams of oatmeal bran, 100 grams of fruit, and 100 grams of made-at-home yogurt. Filed under Food / Recipes by The MacAlba.

[...] After hearing that a neighbour was about to take delivery of Bordernet equipment (where that neighbour ordered the service about a week AFTER I did), I was annoyed enough to immediately phone Bordernet to find out what on earth was taking so long. [...]

Never heard Jock Duncan’s version, but it was written by the late Davy Steele of Battlefield Band, and appeared on the Leaving Friday Harbor CD. Quite the tune, that one.
