10-plus ways you can lose money by doing it yourself
- Growing your own food
- Printing your own photos, notices, etc.
- Building your own computer
- Sewing your own basic clothes
- Making your own pet food
- Installing/altering appliances to make them more green
- Making your own musical instruments
- Fixing your small appliances
- Selling your own personal items (rather than using a consignment shops)
- Doing your own taxes
Cost of supplies: Growing your own food sounds like a good way to trim expenses; that is, if you already own pots. a trowel, tomato cages, a cultivator, a shovel, a spade, a garden rake, a leaf rake, a weeder, a hoe, a pesticide sprayer, garden gloves, a hat, knee pads, a garden hose, a sprinkler, a fertilizer spreader, a compost bin... you get the idea. Taking these expenses into consideration, that that tomato isn't such a bargain.
In the same manner, I have a shelf full of tools I bought to use once, the expense for which I will never recoup. For example, the bookshelf that I bought a router to build -- a router I haven't used since -- ended up costing me over $120. I could have bought a better bookshelf for $40 at Staples. And don't even mention my chop saw, Dremel tool, pipe wrench...
Time sucks: How much is an hour of your life worth? If you don't enjoy the DIY job you take on, ask yourself, would I work for this wage? Gardening again is a good example. You may reap a harvest of 100 pounds of string beans, but by the time you do they'll be in season and every grocery will be selling them for $0.39 a pound. So you'll have $39.00 worth of string beans. If you put 8 hours total into those beans, you were working for under $5.00 an hour.
I've fallen into the money vs. time trap again and again, often because I have to go to the hardware three times for every job. Clearing brush, laying a brick sidewalk, installing a garage door, painting porch railings, running new phone lines; I've wasted countless hours just to save a buck or two an hour. What are your time sucks?
Lack of expertise: The worst aspect of this money trap is that, by doing something ourselves, taxes, for example, we never learn just how much money it really cost us. I've fancied myself at various times capable of installing a hard drive in my computer, hanging a ceiling fan, pruning my birch tree, patching my membrane garage roof, tuning my recumbent bicycle, and doing a brake job on my van. Each time I was forced to admit defeat and resort to that most foul-tasting of money traps, paying an expert to clean up my mess.
Of course, the list above contains many activities that people find enjoyable, and in that case, the difference between hiring to get the job done and doing it yourself can be written off as recreation. If you don't enjoy a task, however, before you do it yourself to save money, calculate your total expense -- in supplies, time, and the potential to screw it up for lack of expertise. I suspect you'll farm out a lot more jobs.

Audi's RS3 Sportback With 254kW Of Power
Last November, during the later part of the month, Audi revealed their brand new RS3 Sportback which is expected to be one of the fastest, and most powerful, hatchbacks in the market. It will go on sale sometime this year where it will offer 340-horsepower (254kW) with 450Nm of torque from a TT-RS 2.5-litre turbocharged five-cylinder engine.
Audi said that the engine will be connected to a seven-speed S-tronic dual-clutch gearbox with two automatic modes and one manual mode. There's also a quattro all-wheel-drive system which is always on.
Overall, the above specifications launch the 1,575kg hatchback to 0-100km/h in 4.6 seconds and then onto a limited top speed of 250km/h. Fuel-wise, the Audi RS3 is said to use 9.1-litres per 100km with CO2 emissions amounting to 212g/km.
Features and equipment includes an ESP program which can be turned off for wheel-spinning fun.
Body-wise, there are wider wheel arches, a new body kit with bumpers housing air vents, side skirts, a rear diffuser, and twin-tailpipes. The Audi RS3 offers a 25mm drop when compared to the standard A3, as well as a set of 19-inch wheels in cast aluminium. The brakes are 370mm ventilated discs for the front, with 310mm units fitted to the rear.
The inside will boast a flat-bottom steering wheel, body-hugging bucket seats and Fine Nappa leather covering.

Bice guy
'Idol' alum eager to get up close to fans in Stamford
On this day, the sound of children can be heard in the background as "American Idol" alum Bo Bice talks about his music and lessons he has learned.
"I've got the greatest gig. Every day, I come home and get to be a dad and a husband," Bice said, during a phone interview from his Nashville, Tenn., home. These days, the Bice brood includes his wife, Caroline, and sons, Aidan, who is nearly 4; and 1-year-old Caleb. A third child on the way.
At ease with his fame, his career and his familial responsibilities, the 34-year-old southern rocker easily transitions from conjuring up memories of performing with rock icons Willie Nelson and Lynyrd Skynyrd to talking about playing computer games on Wii with his oldest son.
"Our shows are family oriented, but they are still a kick-in-the-butt rock show," the Huntsville, Ala.-native said.
Bice and his band will perform at Alive @ Five Thursday in Stamford. He said he is looking forward to a venue where he can get close to the fans and the fans can get close to him. He will feature some of his acoustic work, in addition to his hard-driving rock.
An experienced songwriter, he knows real-life experiences are the raw material a songwriter must tap to create an honest piece of work.
"I feel like my writing has matured. But, more than anything, I got in touch with mixing the influences of who have made me what I am," he said.
"I am happier than I have ever been," he added. "You can push in my CD and just push play and I don't have to sit and explain anything to you. If Aerosmith had not already used it, I would have called it Just Push Play.' "
Instead, he called it "See the Light," which was released in 2007 by Sugar Money/StratArt Records. He is working on his third album, "I Love the Road," a live album with a few studio tracks thrown in for good measure. His independent record company, Sugar Money, is producing it. His first album, the gold-certified "The Real Thing," with famed record producer Clive Davis, followed his appearance on season four of "American Idol," where he came in as runner-up to Carrie Underwood in 2005.
His latest work is rooted in the southern rock sound, but he pulls from gospel, blues, funk, soul and popular melodies. It is clear he was raised on and enjoys an eclectic mix. In less than a half-hour, he cited the work of Jim Croce, The Black Crowes, Simon and Garfunkel, The Beastie Boys, Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, James Taylor, Kid Rock, Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Allman Brothers Band, John Mellencamp, Tom Petty, Lenny Kravitz, Marshall Tucker Band, Bob Seger, Warren Zevon, Carly Simon, The Eagles, The James Gang, Rush, Aerosmith and others. He has even caught himself humming some tunes from the shows his son Aidan watches, including "The Wiggles."
"I try not to turn an ear away from anything," he said.
He said he has gone through an evolution, letting go of the feeling that he needed to prove himself after the "Idol" experience. He is more open-minded and willing to experiment, unfettered by other's expectations. The only pressure he now places on himself comes from within.
"It drives me each day to do a better show than my last show or tour, or to write a better song than before," he said.
Prior to "American Idol," Bice was eking out a living from the back of his truck, playing multiple gigs throughout the week and managing a guitar store the rest of the time. By the time he got a spot on "Idol," he had been playing in bands for 15 years.
This seasoned musician called the "Idol" experience a kind of "boot camp," from which he emerged much savvier about how musical stars are made and marketed. And while he arrived with a certain "rage against the machine" mentality of selling out, he said in the end, he realized how artists could use the camera and the attention of millions of fans to not only attain success but to remain true to themselves.
Yet, he said some people can't "get past that little blue-and-white logo. They won't give me the time of day."
But these are not the people he wastes time courting. Instead, his Web site is a testament to his appreciation of his fan base. He hosts a regular question-and-answer session and has a strong core of "Bo Peeps." Perhaps it was all those years of living the club and bar circuit, playing in more bands than he can count, that makes him particularly attuned to his fans.
"It all boils down to this ... it is all about the fans," he said, calling them the stars of the show. "Without them, we'd never have a gig."

Parenting Fails Sometimes(Part1) : Restrictions
Hazaron khwahishein aisi, ki har khwahish pe dum nikle,
Bahut nikle mere armaan, lekin fir bhi kam nikle..
And that's how parenting fails, with dreams which never would see the light of day, a full stop without even a sentence written.
It doesn't take a very enlightened mind to be conscious of the brutal massacre of dreams everyday around them. Have a good look nearby. Tiny shoulders carrying kilos of bags, souls as fresh as the first rain look weary and tired as the fall sky, silent and lifeless eyes. And the best part is that it does not stop just here, it's not only the institutions imparting knowledge but their own homes where it all starts, a never ending vicious loop.
The issue though isn't completely unnoticed and have been brought to the front by various mediums of communications. A movie released not long back by the name "Taare Zameen Par" was an honest attempt to highlighted a no. of issues faced by the little ones in this cruel world scenario. The bitter truth though being that it's just not those suffering from mental disorders but also those who are slowly being pushed into it. Depression and stress related disorders are on the rise among little kids who barely even know the meaning of such words and that's how parenting fails!!
What we desperately require now is to understand the root cause of the various acts and pressures that lead to an early loss of innocence and childhood among the very future of our world, and that is what we shall do.
Though the title clearly indicates the line of thought, but still, let me take you along for a moment to a general household in a growing peaceful city. The scene zooms in to a small well-furnished room that shows a family of four deeply engrossed in an award show on the TV. A popular Bollywood song is playing and few actors could be seen performing for the show. The little girl amongst the four suddenly blurts out in a very excited and high-pitched voice, "I want to be a movie star when I grow up".
Father turns his eyes from the screen, "Nahi beta, ye sab bahut kharaab log hote hai. Aap toh doctor banoge, hain na? ", and peacefully goes back to enjoying the show not realizing at all the impact of his statement on the future of the little one and this way parenting fails.
The euphoric moment now is past as the girl lowers her head and goes back to wistfully staring at the screen while slowly replacing the stage and the actors with pearly white clad humans doling out prescriptions and hidden behind a mound of books. Nobody realized what happened, but cold blooded and painfully, in that well-lit and happy room, an innocent dream died. There are always some points which prove that parenting fails.
Now looking at the whole scenario objectively, maybe the father has his own reasons, experiences from his own time, that led to such a direct judgment. But then is it fair to the little girl? Most of us get through a majority and sometimes complete lives without even knowing who we truly are. And how would one unless and until they explore.
People make their peace in the midst of faraway jungles, it's while following the snowy trails of a sleepy valley where they find themselves, a life that waits for them as their destiny. How can they ever live if they never even tried? And how can you even think of truly exploring with so many restrictions around?
I would like to take this chance here and ask the parents the same question as in the movie "Accepted"
Did the system actually work for your guys? Did it allow you to follow your hearts or to just play safe by the rules? Did you always wanted to be a software engineer/doctor/whatever you are in your life? Did the system ever give a fair chance to understand what you truly are? these are the ways that how parenting fails.
Yes, life wasn't fair to you. Yes, you couldn't follow your heart for whatever reasons you had. But then is it fair to pass on the same life of meritocracy and compromises over to your child? and makes parenting fails !!!

I remember a time when I didn't even consider my pet's oral hygiene. I guess I figured that nature would take care of their mouths. I was right, nature will take it's course just as it will in our mouths if we don't brush. I ended up with an elderly pooch who needed four back teeth removed.
In learning the hard way I decided to work on prevention this time around.
I regularly brush my dog Buddy's teeth now. He's not a fan and I always get this look when he sees his toothpaste and brush in my hand...
I was recently sent pet toothbrushes from Woo Bamboo. They offer Eco-friendly toothbrushes for pets and humans of all sizes. Besides being more attractive than standard toothbrushes, they are sustainably grown and biodegradable.
Think about how many toothbrushes end up in landfills. Woo Bamboo breaks down naturally and doesn't cause harm.
I figured now was a good time to share how we brush our critter's teeth.
{ For DOGS }
1 Tbs. Coconut oil
1 Tbs. Bentonite Clay { optional }
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. cinnamon { optional }
1 Tbs. colloidal silver { optional }
You could really get away with brushing them with a baking soda & water paste. The other ingredients are optional. Each ingredient is beneficial in it's own way.
Mix the dry ingredients then add the coconut oil ( can warm gently to melt ) & colloidal silver to make a paste.
Cinnamon!Cinnamon is a mild abrasive, it is anti bacterial, has a mild blood clotting effect and will freshen the breath.
Colloidal Silver!Colloidal Silver is a powerful anti pathogen - it stops infection. Makes a perfect addition to toothpaste.
{ For CATS }
1 Tbs. Bentonite Clay
1 tsp. Baking Soda
1 tsp Coconut Oil
1 tsp Colloidal Silver
With cats, you can simply use a baking soda/water mixture. Everything else is optional. Same as above, mix dry ingredients first.
Depending on your kitty, you may need to wrap them in a towel to brush. Some are fairly easy, some would rather be doing anything else and will scratch their way out.
And again make sure there is fresh water available - just like we like to rinse after brushing, so do they.
I brush my pets about twice a week and am noticing fresher breath - that has to be a sign of better oral health.
Do you brush your pet's teeth? What do you use? How's it working for you?

Will 802.11n WAPs we purchase today be compatible with NAC?
Find out how to tell whether the new 802.11n WAPs that you purchase today will be compatible with NAC, from our wireless expert, Lisa Phifer.
How can we tell whether the new 802.11n WAPs that we purchase today will be compatible with NAC?
Today, there are several well-known Network Access Control (NAC) architectures, including Cisco NAC, Microsoft NAP, and Trusted Computing Group TNC. These architectures embed NAC capabilities into the network itself, using devices like Ethernet switches and Wireless APs to handle access requests and enforce access decisions. In addition, there are dozens of products that spin their own flavor of NAC, from proprietary network appliances to endpoint security agents.
This degree of diversity makes it hard to say whether or not any product is compatible with NAC -- a better question to ask is whether a given product is compatible with a specific NAC architecture or appliance. For example, Cisco NAC can protect networks composed of Cisco devices. Today, CNAC-compatible devices include Cisco routers, Catalyst switches, Aironet Access Points, and the Cisco VPN 3000 Concentrator. See Cisco's website for a list of CNAC-enabled products.
Nonetheless, some commonality does extend across all of these NAC architectures, and many proprietary NAC appliances. In particular, most can use 802.1X to handle Layer 2 access requests, relaying those requests over standard RADIUS to NAC policy server where decisions are made. 802.1X is designed to support an open-ended dialog between an 802.1X supplicant (the host requesting access) and an 802.1X authentication server (the system responsible for permitting or denying access). The messages exchanged during that dialog are represented using the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP). Today, NAC architectures use different EAP types and endpoint assessment messages carried within those EAP bindings. However, all of those EAPs ride on standard 802.1X.
The bottom line is this: If you plan to implement NAC, purchase Wireless APs (and Ethernet switches) that support standard 802.1X/RADIUS-based port access control. When examining Wi-Fi Alliance test certifications look for WPA-Enterprise and WPA2-Enterprise support. This is all your WAP will need to support basic go/no-go NAC decisions. If you plan to take NAC further, look for the following features:
802.1Q VLAN support letting the WAP tag wireless traffic before it heads into your wired network.
RFC 3580 support letting the WAP understand and apply VLAN IDs returned by the NAC policy server in RADIUS Access Responses.
Virtual APs with the ability to simultaneously support multiple SSIDs, letting the same WAP support both open guest access and secure access.
Intra-WLAN security options that let the WLAN prevent unknown, potentially infected or malicious users from interacting with NAC-authorized users.
These features won't guarantee plug-and-play compatibility between your WAP and all NAC products, but it will give you a pretty good shot at integrating that WAP into many possible NAC deployments.

Hello, everyone!
My name is Luis Lighton, and I am now a retired musician. For more than fifty years, I was part of a spectacular string quartet, and now, when I'm retired, I cannot help but feel a bit uneasy with all the time that's left on my hands.
All the years that I've spent being part of a team that made music together and cheered public all over this beautiful country have made me love the attention, the admiration and gratitude we were welcomed with. After I retired, the lack of these has definitely affected me in many ways. At times, I would feel useless and depression had begun to grow stronger in my heart. I had to invent new habits to fill the time and the void, and it was one of the most difficult struggles in my life, as I was only getting older. For us, elderly people, making plans is more difficult than anything, I believe.
This gloomy state of mind lasted for about a year, and only became memory once I reconnected with some of my former colleagues, who left the band as well. It seems there are many of us fighting with the pains of retirement and a good way to win is to become united. We started seeing each other more and more and became a sort of goofy cluster of white-haired people running around town, bringing a little smile on the faces of the "busy".
Our favorite things to do are taking long weekends to go fishing, or gather up in our favorite cafe and play pool 'till they close. It may not be a very conventional way to spend your old days, but it surely makes us all happier.
I've been thinking lately of how fortunate we are to have one another, and how other retired folks continue to have a difficult time being on their own. So I've decided to start writing on this blog about what me and my friends are doing to have fun and to help pass our days. I feel that maybe a connection with others is possible even like this, online. Maybe we can talk and share our stories and our favorite hobbies here, so that anyone interested can help themselves to new ideas.
My friends are all happy that I've come up with this and are willing to contribute to this blog, and I ask of you the same. Old age is hard to spend all alone, and the younger ones in our families may not always understand what we're going through. This is why I think we can try and have our own virtual family, to share our concerns and thoughts with.
Of course, I may be a bit of a dreamer, but I'm determined to do this, and I already feel that this is giving me more to think and to do, and this is really the point I'm trying to make. So, as I said before, I welcome you to join in my attempt to help more people that are retired and need guidance and a friendly hand.
All the best,

Antarctic Octopus Genes Contain Clues About Ancient Catastrophic Ice Sheet Collapse
If the West Antarctic Ice Sheet collapsed, it could raise seas by 16 feet (5 meters), which would be disastrous. Thankfully, we're not at that point yet, but if the Earth's climate keeps warming and nothing is done to stop it, we could eventually have to face such a catastrophe. It's not as far-fetched as some would have us believe, as new reserach into octupus genetics (of all places) is providing new evidence that just such a thing might have happened in the relatively recent past, possibly as recently as 200,000 years ago (which is pretty recent compared to the age of the Earth, which is approx. 4.54 billion years).
A team of scientists analysed the genes of the Turquet's octopus, which lives in the Southern Ocean surrounding Antarctica. During the Census of Antarctic Marine Life, which ran from 2005 to 2010, and International Polar Year, teams of scientists collected Turquet's octopuses from all around the continent.
Adult Turquet's octopuses only move to escape from predators. This means they tend to stay put and don't travel very much at all. So the researchers expected octopuses from different regions of Antarctica to be genetically quite dissimilar.
But to their surprise, they found that the genes from octopuses taken from the Weddell and Ross Seas, on the opposite sides of Antarctica, were startlingly similar.
'The Ross and Weddell Seas are completely separate: they're about 10,000 kilometres apart,' says Strugnell. 'So we expected the genetics of these octopuses to be quite different.'
When the climate was much warmer, sea levels would have been substantially higher, because less water would've been locked up as ice. In this situation, the Ross and Weddell Seas could have been connected.
'Ocean currents would have both facilitated and hindered the flow of genes. But the Antarctic Circumpolar Current almost certainly wouldn't have facilitated so much dispersal by octopuses that two populations have almost identical genetics,' Strugnell says.
'So, we think this would only have happened if the West Antarctic Ice Sheet had collapsed.'
In contrast, Turquet's octopuses from other parts of Antarctica showed the level of genetic differences that Strugnell and her colleagues were expecting, so this if further evidence that West Antarctica's ice sheet could have collapsed.

2. Memorizing Isaiah 55 (at one verse a week) with the fabulous online community at Do Not Depart.
Going through Isaiah 55 has been a blessing and I'm especially excited now because the second half of Isaiah 55 contains so many verses that I love, and that's where we are now (Isaiah 55:8) I also highly recommend Do Not Depart's Facebook Group HideHisWord. It is a daily source of encouragement and inspiration to me. If you'd like to get started memorizing Isaiah 55, Here's my plan for memorizing Isaiah 55. If you'd like to jump in where we are at now, we'd love for you to join us! People are always joining at different times, so feel free to jump in and memorize this week's verse, Isaiah 55:8, or start at Isaiah 55:1, or any other verse in the Bible—however the Lord leads. Though the Do Not Depart group, HideHisWord, is hosting the Isaiah 55 Hide His Word Challenge, the community there is really centered around memorizing Scripture in general. The people there are memorizing all different verses. Some are memorizing Isaiah 55, some Ephesians, some specific verses that encourage them, etc. So if you feel led to memorize Scripture, and would love a group to support and encourage you along the way, you'd be blessed by the HideHisWord group.
"If you are not a memorizer at all, shift up to memorizing a Bible verse a week. If you only memorize single verses, shift up to memorizing some paragraphs or chapters (like Psalm 1 or Psalm 23 or Romans 8). And if you have ventured to memorize chapters, shift up to memorize a whole book or part of a book. Few things have a greater effect on the way we see God and the world than to memorize extended portions of Scripture. "

Large marine diesel engines use high pressure compressed air to start them. The air flows into the cylinder when the piston is moving down the cylinder on the power stroke. To minimise the risk of an air start explosion, fuel is not injected into the cylinder whilst the air is being admitted.
Air start systems vary in their design and can be quite complex. There will be a means to start the engine locally as well as from a remote location (The Bridge or the engine control room). This system is not representative of one type of engine but is simplified to give a basic understanding.

I've been lurking on this blog ever since you were in the Sunday Times, and this isn't the most interesting of first comments, but the worst Museum I've ever been to is the Natural History Museum in Gothenburg. It's just room after room of awkwardly stuffed, mangy furry things and thickly varnished fish. By far the most depressing exhibit is the
c.19th blue whale, they basically just peeled a whale and then used enormous nails to tack it's skin to an approximately whale shaped piece of wood. My friend told me that they had at one point hollowed it out and had a cafe inside the whale's head. Horrible

This reminds me of Ferrymead Heritage Park in Christchurch (New Zealand), in that everything is old on purpose (people dress up Victorian era in replica of old NZ village). I especially like the hangar full of old eccentric fire engines, named "The Hall of Flame". Several buildings full of dusty old stuff, but thankfully nothing military. Also live steam trams & trains running!
- 18 October 2010 at 12:38
Haha I found this post particularly amusing as I work in a museum and I say to visitors in bad Italian "We have just closed, please leave" ahahaha. I hate saying it and often hover before I gather my courage and awkwardly say it then run off!!
- 18 October 2010 at 12:41
But did you not notice that the cafe is inhabited entirely by beer drinking, sausage eating, men?? Like a War Hammer shop (like modern dungeons and dragons - very expensive plastic figures you paint and then creat war and mayhem with), it gives me testosterone poisoning. I have to leave after five minutes to get some fresh air. Fortunately, only one of my sons likes this sort of thing....
- 18 October 2010 at 13:21
Long time lurker, first time poster. I, somewhat pathetically, really like that museum - except for the stuffed horse. That creeps me out. I used to live a few hundred metres from there and it was a wonderful reprieve - a quiet, peaceful place unbothered by other people (or time as you noted). Sort of like a library with fighter jets.

Anon 3 - I didn't dare go in, it didn't look like women were allowed. Like the bar at the Petit Train Vapeur in Forest, actually.
AB - There's no shame in that. I also love a dusty museum. Having gone quite close to the horse, it seemed to be plaster of paris rather than stuffed, and thus TOTALLY inferior to the motheaten stuffed one in York's Castle Museum (also high on list of crappy museums).

Hypatia, I REMEMBER THAT WHALE! Not only did it end up in the moderately appropriate setting of a Natural History Museum; it also went on tour around Sweden and even reached my home town in the North where we all gaped duly, not really knowing what the fuss was about, having very limited opinions about stranded wales.

I love that museum too! And do you mean to say Lashes and Fingers didn't enjoy sitting in the cockpit where you are allowed to sit in the pilot's seat? Or the plane you can go into and pretend to be a parachuter?
Stuffed animals museums are even better.
The dusty museum freak paradise is the panorama in Waterloo, by the battlefield. A gem!

Explosion! in Gosport is entirely undeserving of its exclamation mark. I went with a three-year-old who was obsessed with the missiles and mines. It was a long, long afternoon.

Wait, I'm hung up on the disturbing tableux (or rather the singular version though I have no idea what that word might be). Do you mean to tell me they are implying that dog is about to get eaten?

Laurel - It seemed hard to escape that conclusion from the labelling, and the juxtaposition of starving soldier, razor sharp knife, and faithful companion.
The remaining scenes were mainly of rats and languishing, starving poilus.

Amazingly enough, this museum must've spent 90% of its yearly budget, getting their one WORKING tank (The Leopard I think it was), down to Mons for their annual Tanks in Town event...every August, which I HIGHLY recommend! My two boys were able to ride tank commander and gunner positions in a T-72 tank on an obstacle course and it was the highlight of their summer (I bet your boys would've woken up over that)! But I digress...back to the Leopard, which broke down early in the day and couldn't even make the victory roadmarch into the Grande Place in Mons...I did feel bad for them as it costs hundreds of thousands of bills to keep these tanks going...I bet the museum runs entirely on donations too....

Favorite crap museum was the Forney Museum of Transportation in Denver, Colorado, USA. Or, as it was known after our first visit, The Museum of Dust.
Imagine a dark, dank old train warehouse full of dark, dank, old trains, cast-off mannequins from retail shops stuffed into ridiculous poses in old Fords, rotting engines and. . . dust, of course. Poorly lit, with acres of dust an inch thick. And lots of un-labled train parts.
It is now a Recreational Equipment Incorporated (REI)store, complete with indoor rock climbing wall and every manner of outdoorsy Yuppie nonsense.
I often wonder what happened to all the dust.

There are some wonderful stuffed animals in Swedish museums. The smiling, cross-eyed lion in Gripsholm castle is absolutely brilliant and even has its own Facebook following.

The old New Bruswick museum with the displays that never changed and had a ceramic tile frog pond that perenially lacked frogs, but featured "mourning" rings from the 1700s in which one would encase braided stands of hair from the dear departed loved one. How ghoulish! I loved it.
But! Nothing made an impact on my little developing brain like a mobile museum that made the rounds during my early school years.
Cast your minds back to 1967, Canada's Centennial year. Yes, 100 years old it was. Oh, the antiquity!
They had all manner of celebrations and displays that year, Expo 67 being the shining pinnacle of which I'm led to believe but have no actual knowledge of, my parents not being of the adventerous type. A whole day's drive by car! Overnight in a hotel! The extravagance! The bohemian irresponsibility! But I digress...
One of the Centennial celebratory displays, which was not of trains but in a train, went across the country and small, innocent school children were forced to visit it and traipse through the entire thing everywhere it stopped. There were several cars with many historical tableaux from across the nation (we may not be old, but we're big) represented. It must have been dreadfully boring as I remember absolutely nothing it contained... except one display, that traumatized me for years afterward (I was all of 10 years old). There was a replica of the bunks on the ships that carried the poor Irish immigrants who fled Ireland during the potato famines in the 1800s only to contract smallpox on board ship. The haggard, ghostly pale faces of the startlingly realistic mannequins of starving, on-the-edge-of-death-from-smallpox Irish haunted my dreams for years. I can still picture them. Eeep!

My favourite shit museum is the Museum of Flight somewhere near Edinburgh, which is not that shit unless you're forced by some sadistic art teachers to go there to sketch. In the freezing dead of winter. FOR A WHOLE DAY.
Also the Museum of Railways or whatever it was called in Nairobi, which was like an elephant graveyard, but for trains. Huge carcasses of rotting, rusting trains, in a big yard. Also a small room full of dusty photographs. You were free to clamber around the various engines and get tetanus. Nice.

Barometer World, near (actually not at all near) Okehampton. Tracing the roller coaster history of barometers and all things pertaining to atmospheric pressure, including a faithful reproduction of the Magdeburg Hemispheres!!!
I only went there to see the reproduction of George Merryweather's Tempest Prognosticator (or 'Leech Barometer') in which 12 leeches climb up the side of a glass vessel and trip little ivory hammers which sound small bells when foul weather is expected, only when I got there it was out of service due to the leeches being indisposed, or on strike, or escaped or something.

Napoleon's tomb. Also, on the off chance you find yourself in Reno, Nevada, the Wilber D May Center is...bizarre. I had a free afternoon while at a conference several years ago and since it was just up the hill from the university, I decided to give it a go.
It promised a collection of exotic artifacts--I was thinking stuffed birds and display cases full of butterflies and other curiosities, but it turned out that Mr. May was, in fact, a big game hunter, and most of the artifacts on display were skins, horns, and various limbs separated from their previous owners.
I confess to enjoying wandering through old military museums, which mostly seem to consist of an organized jumble of perfunctorily-labeled weapons, gear, and ephemera. There's a good one at Sanctuary Wood on the Western front, complete with a reconstructed trench (through which small boys wander making machine gun sounds).
Have you been to the In Flanders Fields museum in Ieper? Fewer tanks, I assure you.

The Potato Museum in the middle-of-nowhere, Idaho is pretty crappy. The highlight, however was the baked potato served to all visitors who survived the boredom of the incredibly amateur "exhibits" on the history of the potato.

The aquarium at Dallas' Fair Park. Everything else in Dallas is big and new and shiny except for this awesomely low-tech museum. It's only interactive insofar as tapping on cloudy, 3-inch-thick industrial glass tanks at barely discernable fish is interacting. I highly recommend it and if I didn't loathe Texas so, I'd revisit it in a heartbeat.

You haven't been properly bored until you suffer the Egyptian Museum in Cairo. Famed as its collections are, you can't hear a friggin thing because the place echoes like the tower of babel with global turistas. Each group hunches around a dirty display case trying to read peeling labels while the guide vies with the next group for audibility prominence and perhaps make sense while we stare at little crafted cats. The groups have to synchronize their movements from one dismal display case to the next. Fuck it, buy the book.

oh i disagree about the museum in cairo. it was great fun. i had my camera confiscated and had to leg it from the police. i cannot recommend it highly enough.
but a museum for which i have fond memories is the iceni museum in a field somewhere in east anglia. it describes the celtic tribe of queen boudicca. but you must drive round and round for three hours first, trying to find it.
when you do, you will find top shop models c 1978 dolled up in some old rags (who knows, maybe the original items of 78 clothing?). some of their heads have been removed and stuck on poles.
it is fantastic. but i share your passion for niche museums, mme jaywalker. i am shortly to post on the hong kong medical sciences museum with its fine exhibition of callipers.
and i've put barometer world on my hit list.

Bodmin jail museum a few years ago which amongst other horrors had recreations of different crimes in each cell _ wife beating, larceny, nurder etc. Each tableaux styled with old shop mannequins. Final cell was a bloke with a stuffed sheep...

Forty days after Easter, today marks the Feast of the Ascension. Despite being one of the four 'pillars' of the Church's liturgical calendar (along with Christmas, Easter and Pentecost), this feast has never attracted composers quite as much as the others. i imagine it's a combination of the relatively short shrift given to it in the Gospels, as well as – dare i say it – the slightly comic idea of Christ ascending into the clouds (there's a well-known painting of this scene (i forget which), with Christ's feet hilariously protruding from the base of a cloud). It's no doubt the lack of alternative material that has led to Gerald Finzi's God is gone up becoming the sine qua non on this particular day. Not that that should take anything away from Finzi's piece; it's superb, and contains some of the most exquisite words ever set to music:
God is gone up with a triumphant shout:
The Lord with sounding Trumpets' melodies:
Sing Praise, sing Praise, sing Praise, sing Praises out,
Unto our King sing praise seraphicwise!
Lift up your Heads, ye lasting Doors, they sing,
And let the King of Glory enter in.
Methinks I see Heaven's sparkling courtiers fly,
In flakes of Glory down him to attend,
And hear Heart-cramping notes of Melody
Surround his Chariot as it did ascend;
Mixing their Music, making ev'ry string
More to enravish as they this tune sing.
Equally well-known and established for today is Olivier Messiaen's organ cycle L'Ascension. While i think it's far from being Messiaen's greatest work, it has its moments; i prefer it in the organ version, particularly the new third movement, which will probably be heard in most cathedrals and churches at the conclusion of today's services. So much for the well-known pieces; in preference to Messiaen, i prefer Charles Tournemire's music composed for today, and also for the Sunday within the Octave of the Ascension. They form parts 23 and 24 of his magnum opus L'Orgue Mystique, weaving the original plainchant melodies for the day into new, modern forms. It's functional music, intended to punctuate the appropriate points of the Eucharist; nonetheless, for all its functionality, it's among the most radical and innovative of 20th century Church music – how and why Tournemire is so frequently overlooked remains a mystery. His Ascension music, in my opinion, is the most exciting of his entire cycle, and the best of them is his Postlude for the Sunday within the Octave; if only this piece was heard as much as Messiaen's.
A marvellous alternative to Finzi is Patrick Gowers' Viri Galilaei, which i first heard almost exactly three years ago, during a broadcast of Choral Evensong from St George's Chapel Windsor in May 2005. It remains the most exciting new anthem i've heard in the last few years, so here's the recording from that broadcast. At nearly 8 minutes' duration, it's considerably longer than the average anthem, and its scope is similarly wide, juxtaposing soloistic passages with coruscating tuttis (when listening to the central "Alleluia!", just try to prevent a shiver running down your spine). The final chorale is a touch relentless, but on a day as joyous as today, why not?
3 Responses to Music for Ascension Day: Patrick Gowers – Viri Galilaei
Paul Emmons
It's wonderful to see such appreciative remarks about the Tournemire suites! Only today, I opined in the Ship of Fools forum that his Postlude for Sunday after the Ascension approaches Messiaen's Outburst of Joy in value, as well as in challenge to the player. To anyone skeptical of this recommendation, I can now cite your words, which are even more enthusiastic.
Paul, I'm so glad you share my enthusiasm for Tournemire's music, and i'm glad you're recommending it to others! Since i wrote those words (three years ago!), my own love for L'Orgue Mystique has grown considerably, and i've already arranged some of the pieces for instrumental forces. More people need to hear this amazing music!

New interview with artist Duncan Storr published on 'Heavy Metal Music Artwork'
"I like to hear what a band feels about the music they are creating, and if possible hear rough demos of tracks , and the titles to songs are important. If a band then let me get on and come up with ideas , I feel that works the best. If I have more of myself invested in the idea, it shows in the finished artwork I think."

I'm Taking a Break… Kind of!posted by Andrea | 03/31/2012 | 12 comments
Yesterday was officially the first day of Spring Break for Dave's school — and boy was he ready for a break!!
However, due to the nature of my work, I rarely ever get breaks unless I plan ahead, and make a conscious effort to take time off… and that's exactly what I'm doing this year!
9 Free iPhone Apps for Small Businessesposted by Andrea | 03/31/2012 | 2 comments
I'm always on the look-out for FREE tools to help improve my business. So when I got the iPhone, I immediately started searching for apps that would do just that.
Apparently there are a ton of free productivity apps, but I didn't need or want them all, just the best ones. So for the past several weeks, I've been testing them out… and I came up with a list of 9 of my favorite free apps for small businesses.
Weekend Giveaway: Prairieland Herbs $20 Credit {5 winners}posted by Andrea | 03/30/2012 | 195 comments

What I Do and Don't Make Time Forposted by Andrea | 03/29/2012 | 13 comments
I like to think that I'm pretty good at managing my time, being productive, getting things done, etc. etc. however as much as I might try, I can't do it all. I have to make choices every day about what I will and will not spend my time on. Sometimes, it's an easy choice, other times it's not. Many times I make wise choices, but other times I don't. It's all just a balancing act I suppose.
So since a few of you asked, here's a short list of things I do and don't MAKE time for…
Like Mother, Like Daughterposted by Andrea | 03/28/2012 | 13 comments
I know I've lamented the fact that Nora already seems to be so strong-willed and stubborn {like refusing to take naps!} but the other day, Dave and I were joking about how Nora is actually SO much like me!
Yup, I'm strong-willed and stubborn too… and once we started thinking about it, we came up with a whole list of traits and characteristics that are strikingly similar between my daughter and myself 🙂
How to Make Really Good Fried Potatoesposted by Andrea | 03/27/2012 | 56 comments
Ever since Dave and I tied the knot {almost 6 years ago} I've struggled with making REALLY good fried potatoes. I even resorted to using frozen potatoes in times of desperation.
I can still remember the first time I attempted to make fried potatoes… I set off the smoke alarm 🙂 Well, after almost 6 years of trial and error, I've finally figured out how to make really good fried potatoes.
Here's how I do it…
Are You Cutting Back to Save More?posted by Andrea | 03/26/2012 | 24 comments
The other day, I mentioned a handful of things we're willing to splurge on… and after talking about splurging, I received a few emails and comments asking if we had cut back on anything in an effort to save more.
The answer is Yes! Yes, we are cutting back on some things… and yes, we are still splurging on others. I'm assuming many of you could say the same thing. I guess it's a matter of where our priorities are!
Here's a short list of things we've been cutting back on:
Spring Cleaning and Organizing for Your Officeposted by Andrea | 03/24/2012 | 2 comments
Whether you work in a corporate office, have a designated home office, or even just an area in the corner of the living room where you pay the bills, schedule appointments, and check emails; it's important to keep that area clean and clutter-free.
So since I talk a lot about cleaning {and more specifically "Spring Cleaning"} I thought I should talk a bit about cleaning and organizing your office area.
Weekend Giveaway: UPrinting 16″x 20″ Canvas Printsposted by Andrea | 03/23/2012 | 149 comments
I've always loved the look of canvas prints… but I had never heard of "rolled canvas prints" until I recently received one from UPrinting.com.
I was honestly surprised by how great it looked, and I'm simply ecstatic to be able to display our very first family picture in such a beautiful way. I'm also excited to be able to offer 3 lucky readers a gorgeous rolled canvas from UPrinting.com!
Nora at 4 Monthsposted by Andrea | 03/22/2012 | 19 comments
Nora is 4 months old today… and it's hard to believe that last year at this time, she still wasn't even a thought in our minds! I do remember feeling extremely tired last March, but I figured it was because of all the extensive home renovations and the fact that I was out-of-town twice in one month.
Little did I know that a year later, we would have a 4-month-old baby girl!
Simple Ways I Transform Our Home For Springposted by Andrea | 03/22/2012 | 3 comments
Here in West Michigan, we've had record-breaking high temperatures the past 2 weeks {it's been in the 80's all week!} so it's felt like Spring for while already — and I'm not complaining!
However, since it's now officially spring, I thought I'd share a few simple ways I transform our home for Spring.
Choosing to MAKE Timeposted by Andrea | 03/21/2012 | 15 comments
In my line of work, you can probably image how often I hear people complain about "not having enough time…" yup, it happens a lot! And while I too wish I had more time for certain activities… in most situations, I know that I COULD have that time if I wanted it bad enough.
The real issue is that I'm not choosing to MAKE time…
Why I'm NOT Purgingposted by Andrea | 03/20/2012 | 22 comments
Yes, you read the title of this post correctly; I really have NOT purged much these past couple of months — and it's not because I'm too busy, too lazy, or any other excuse!!
The reason I haven't been purging is because I haven't been bringing more stuff into our home.
See how we're managing to keep the clutter out and save time, space, and money in the process!
Spinach, Broccoli, and Mushroom Quicheposted by Andrea | 03/19/2012 | 12 comments
I have a new favorite breakfast recipe… and it's really, really easy!
This quiche has a simple crescent roll dough crust and can be filled with any of your favorite veggies, meats, and cheeses. It only take about 30 – 45 minutes to make and I can almost guarantee it will be a hit with your family!
I made this for dinner one night last week and we finished off the leftovers for breakfast the next morning. YUM!
The Benefits of Working With REAL Peopleposted by Andrea | 03/17/2012 | 3 comments
If you've read my blog for any amount of time, you know that I'm all about time-management, productivity, and efficiency.
And while I appreciate time-saving conveniences like email, online shopping, online banking, drive-through windows, express checkout lanes, etc.; I sometimes feel like our lives are so automated that we never actually work with REAL people.
Weekend Giveaway: Martha Stewart Organizing Goodiesposted by Andrea | 03/16/2012 | 541 comments
I'm sure it's not a huge surprise that I absolutely LOVE fun organizing tools and products — they are some of my favorite things to shop for! And when I found out that Martha Stewart had partnered with Avery to offer a sensational line of new office organizing products, I was simply thrilled!
If you share my love of fun organizing products, then you'll definitely want to enter this giveaway!
A Few More Things I'm Willing to Splurge Onposted by Andrea | 03/15/2012 | 22 comments
Over a year ago, I wrote about the 10 Things We Don't Spend Money On… and then followed it up with 10 Things I'm Willing to Splurge On.
Well, over the past year, I've come up with a handful of other things I am most definitely willing to splurge on. Some are bigger splurges than others, but they are all completely worth it for me!!
What are your favorite {or most recent} splurges?
{Vlog} How We Fold Our T-Shirts and a T-shirt Quilt Project!posted by Andrea | 03/14/2012 | 43 comments
Dave and I have a lot of t-shirts, but we wear them all the time… so I can justify it! Plus, we keep them organized with a very clever folding method {see my very first vlog in this post}.
And while I was making the vlog, I decided it was finally time to clear out some of my t-shirt clutter to make a t-shirt quilt — so I packed up a bunch of my most memorable t-shirts and sent them off to be transformed into something a little more useful!

Sunday 9th June 2012Still at the Newry Islands
Cool, cloudy, windy (15/20knts) and a little choppy on the water
|Concertina Rock, Outer Newry Island & Wedding Cake Islet
Thursday MrJ and I went for morning tea on Forever Dreaming, Mercedes and Gary's boat, an eleven metre Easy that he built himself. What a lovely boat with a great finish and fresh feel.
After morning tea all of us, me and MrJ, Gary and Mercedes and Ric and Shelly, took the dinghies across to the rocky landing on Outer Newry Island enabling us to walk the short track over to the other side of the island. It was nearly high tide which made it very easy to get ashore but shoes were a must for the hiking and getting over the slippery rock at the water's edge.
|Wearing his best socks
The track across Outer Newry Island is well marked, leaving the camping ground area where there is an old fishing hut, picnic table, a water tank and two loos, male and female. The loos are pit type (hole in the ground) in a modern out-house structure. Most of these types of modern pit loos are self decomposing which is far better than the old hole in the ground of days gone by.
Following the track to the other side of Outer Newry Island I found more evidence of the digging wild life on the island and lots of Jewelled Spiders.
|Jewelled Spider
Over on the other side of Pouter Newry Island is a large stony beach area; to the west of this beach is Concertina Rock and to the east is Wedding Cake Islet. The boys tried to walk across all those stones to get a better look at Concertina Rock but found the going too tough and came back. We decided that it was a much better idea to return to our dinghies to motor around the western point for our better view.
|Stony beach
After lunch I went off to take a few shot of the ruins, the old resort building or what is now left, main brick and stone rubble. These shots will make very interesting black and white photos. Yes I know – as MrJ always says – I'm obsessed with my photographer. More like an addition, I think!
|Picnic area
Being "Darby and Jones" is something that I have become accustomed to over the five years plus some that MrJ and I have been living on the water. I was introduced to this way of life when we chose to buy our boat home, Alana Rose, in another country and we had to get her home back to OZ somehow. The sailing passage through the Caribbean waters, through parts of South and Central American waters, through the Panama Canal and then all the way across the great Pacific Ocean to Australia was a fabulous adventure with many stop-offs at many wonderful, exciting and romantic places. Visiting all these magic places was the holiday; sailing the passages was the work and some of the work was very hard and at times was even scary. By the end of this passage the work became less stressful as I had learnt more ways how to hand not only the physical side by my own personal outlook, feeling and stresses.
|The old Brady's Cabin
We are left at the Newry's anchorage with two other small sailing boats. Two local boaties that I assume live in this anchorage for most of the time maybe to return to somewhere now and again for their supplies. I have waved to these two old sailors when I see them go by which is hardly ever; one has a small wooden row boat the other has a rubber duckie (rubber dinghy) with a motor. I never see either of these sailors on deck except when there is a need for one sailor to call out to his mate. One afternoon the row boat sailor went over to visit the rubber duckie sailor, who I have since heard him being called Pat. Pat the Rubber Duckie Sailor! Another day the two old sailors took a rolled sail over to the campsite; maybe to do some repairs. (???) Since the weather has turned inclement the old sailors stay below in his own boat only to surface once a day to have a quick slosh down out of a bucket while standing in his own tint cockpit. They would get their fresh water supply from the rainwater tanks at the National Park's campsite on the islands. Freezing!
|The anchorage between Newry & Outer Newry Islands
Tonight a foreign boat sailed into the anchorage and parked right behind AR. What a pity that we are leaving in the morning. MrJ and I are planning a sail across to Goldsmith Island where we should meet up with Neriki and Forever Dreaming.

Of Christianity, Enlightenment, and Colonialism: Russia in the North Caucasus, 1550-1800
The notion of the Russian colonial policies in the North Caucasus before the military conquest of the region in the 1820s may be greeted with reasonable skepticism. Indeed, Russia's imperial dimensions and its colonial experience have been slow to become the object of a focused and sustained reexamination and are yet to be integrated into the larger field of colonial studies.
