As part of my yearlong quest to explore every season, I'm going to attempt to tackle a frustrating problem for the three Winters: How am I supposed to tell the difference between an icy and a pastel?
For those of you who have been draped as a Dark, True, or Bright Winter, you're probably familiar with the concept of icy vs. pastel. Wading through the seemingly endless sea of pastel to reach the elusive icy can seem impossible, especially when they look so similar at first.
First, a quick description of both:
Pastel colors are very light, very soft versions of other colors. Powder blue, baby yellow, and ballet pink are common examples. Summers and Light Spring are the primary seasons that can claim pastel colors as their own.
Icy colors are lighter and clearer than pastels. Picture a can of white paint with a single drop of pigment added. All three Winters get icies.
For tons of visual representations of pastel vs. icy, check out my Pinterest Boards.
Okay, that's great, but how do I tell the difference when I'm out shopping?
As you probably expected, your fan is going to be your best friend. I've taken a series of photos to help explain the swatching process, but please remember that photographs can be deceiving. I've done my best to represent the colors, but it's nearly impossible to replicate them perfectly.
This is a Bright Winter icy pink top I found at Goodwill. Even though it's BW, I still wear it occasionally because it makes me feel cute and I haven't found a good Dark Winter icy pink yet.
It's harmonizing well with the whole fan, not just the icy strip. I could easily picture someone wearing this top and carrying a bag in one of those lovely emerald greens.
Now, here's a pastel pink sheet. Light Summer looks particularly good next to this color, so we'll use that for comparison.
All the colors are light and fresh with a slightly muted quality.
Now, watch what happens when we swatch the top against the LSu and BW fans.
The Light Summer fan doesn't look too bad with this top, but pink is looking dustier and softer than it truly is. The Bright Winter fan is helping the color retain its clear, whitish-pink hue.
Let's see the pink sheet against both fans.
Yes, those are the same fabric. They're in the same light, with the same camera, taken less than 30 seconds apart. Light Summer is blending beautifully with the color, making it hard to tell where the fan ends and the fabric begins. Bright Winter is popping toward the screen, causing the color underneath to look lost and pale.
Let's try another color
Here is one of my drapes, a Dark Winter icy yellow. It has been my fruitless quest to find this in a top or dress.
You'll just have to trust me that it's yellow. I was having a really hard time having that show up on my camera, but you can still see how the pinks, blues, and even greens can exist in the same universe as the fan.
Here is another one of my drapes, a light Soft Summer yellow.
It's got that muted, dusky quality that makes Soft Summer so gorgeous.
Let's compare the fans to the icy drape.
It's much easier to tell the drape is yellow now, isn't it? Soft Summer is looking so pale, and the ivory shades on the first strip up from the label seem downright dirty. Dark Winter is glowing next to the drape, and the whites in the first strip look pure and bright.
Here are both fans against the pastel drape
Now we can actually see Soft Summer! The colors look much more vibrant, allowing us to really appreciate their nuance. Dark Winter is leaving this drape in the dust, leaving it looking muddy rather than beautifully soft.
As you can see, comparison is a immensely helpful in determining icy vs. pastel. When you're out shopping, obviously use your fan on the item you're swatching, but it's a good idea to grab something else in a similar color and swatch them both to see which works better. So grabbing two pale blue items and swatching both of them against your fan could actually help you more than only swatching the item you're looking to purchase.
So, Winter friends, I hope you're feeling a little more prepared to distinguish icy and pastel colors! Next month, I'll have another common Winter problem before working though the Spring seasons!
P.S., I just want to say a huge thank you to everyone who viewed and shared my last blog post! I am working on more similar posts, so for all of you asking for more recommendations, fear not! They are coming, as soon as I get some time to go a-swatching.
All photos are my own unless otherwise noted.

Makes enough for 6-8 servings
Sarah's delicious home-made cakes and soups are always very well received in the shop. We would like to share some of her favourite recipes with you here. Just click on the individual link to read and print.
We'd love to hear what you think and how you get on, or perhaps you might have a recipe of your own that you would like to recommend. Just drop us an email to: email@example.com
A relatively easy but impressive looking prepare in advance dessert. This wickedly rich chocolate terrine goes well with fresh fruit, fruits in alcohol or mulled fruit compote.
Serves 8 – easily doubled
A rich, moist cake that would also make a great dessert served with fresh berries. Can be made ahead and frozen undecorated.
Cuts into 12-16 slices.
This is a bit more involved than a lot of my cakes, but worth the effort. This style of sponge is best eaten within 2-3 days, but I'm sure the cake won't hang around long once everyone has tried it!
Cuts into 12 slices.
This is a really easy recipe and converts well to gluten free. Just substitute the regular flour with a gluten free alternative and add xanthum gum (optional) with just as good results. I use a plain gluten free flour with 2½ tsp baking powder and omit the extra baking powder in the recipe. It's dairy free too!
Cuts into 12 slices.
A great centre piece for any summer party or picnic using seasonal British fruit- and it's red, white and blue!
Cuts into 12-16 slices.
Make with new season pink rhubarb for a really delicate rhubarb flavour!
Can be made ahead and frozen. Cuts into 12-16 slices.
A simple and tasty way of making the most of seasonal veg that is in abundance in the autumn.
Makes enough for 8 servings
There are lots of recipes for polenta cakes but I find this one works every time. Naturally gluten free this makes a sharp but sweet sticky 'cake' which is also great as a dessert served with crème fraiche. For a real treat you could add some limoncello to the syrup!
Cuts into 12-16 slices.
Less formal than a traditional simnel cake, there are lots of variations depending on how much time you have or how fancy you want to make the cake. This version is a combination of different cake recipes I use, and the cake in the accompanying photo was made with gluten free flour.
Can be made ahead and frozen
Cuts into 12-16 pieces.

14/06/2013 (13h30), Dr. Y. Kohama (Institute For Solid State Physics, International MegaGauss Science Laboratory, University of Tokyo, Japan)
The aparatus for measuring specific heat (Cp) and magnetocaloric effect (MCE) were developed for the experiments under pulsed magnetic fields. Since Cp measures the entropy as a function of temperature and MCE traces the isoentropic (H,T) curve, the combination of both techniques can be used to obtain the entropic (H,T) surface. The details of the experimental techniques and the results on BiCu2PO6 will be presented./B_article_principal>

Hello everyone! I am Prudence, a petite size lady residing in sunny Singapore.
I love all things beautiful including exquisite art and craft, interior design, wedding decorations and travel photography. On top of all these is my deep love for fashion. I believe that fashion is not only an expression of one's personal style, but is also important in confidence building. This prompted me to take up a course with the Style Coaching Institute,UK,in 2011. I received my professional Style Coaching certification with distinction a few months later. Although I did not focus on building a career in this area, the journey has helped me tremendously in my personal growth.
Being of an extremely petite build of less than 5 ft, I have faced many challenges in finding apparels that suit my small frame. Through years of trial and error and my previous experience in running a fast-moving fashion business, my acumen in finding apparels that suit my petite size has sharpened significantly. I also get my inspiration from petite fashion bloggers from around the world. The success of these wonderful ladies are the ones who motivated me to start my own fashion blog, which I hope can become a source of inspiration to others as well.
I will always be thankful to my family and friends who believe in me and for giving me the courage to pursue my passion in fashion, particularly my loving husband who has supported me all the way.
Thank you for reading and take care!

Location: Umdloti, South Africa
A new high-level bridge structure was required to provide a permanent, safe link over the Umdloti River on the N2 at Umdloti.
The bridge replaced the previous unsafe low-level causeway. There are two river crossings associated with this project - the Umhlanga and Umdloti Rivers. The expansion also required the widening of the roadway by approximately 7.5m at select points along the freeway.
Group Five
For the piers, the TRIO box out shutters worked extremely well.
Group Five chose PERI VARIO for the incremental launch formwork on the project. VARIO shutters allowed Group Five to utilise two sets of shutters for the same price as one set of conventional steel shutters, which meant that they could cast the south and north bound sections simultaneously. The massive piers were poured in 8.1 m increments using PERI TRIO with customised box-outs to create the recess in the concrete. CB Brackets were used as access platforms to replace temporary bearing platforms with permanent ones.

Reinforce Safety Skills at Home: Practice, Talk and Protect
Safety skills are only truly skills if our children access them in real-life situations outside of swim class. Here are some ways you can help:
- Practice. When you take your kiddos to the pool, give them an opportunity to show off their back floats and rollovers. Avoid the doggie paddle and practice rollovers for breath and rest. This single habit could save your child's life!
- Talk. Discuss what your swimmers should do if they find themselves in a water emergency. These conversations should look and sound like those you have about what to do if there is a fire or a stranger. Make sure your kiddos know what is expected of them.
- Protect. Pool gates only work if they're locked, and supervision only works if you never look away. Ensure your kiddos learn to swim for an added layer of protection.
Remember – learning to swim takes time and patience, and no one is ever drown proof. What do you do in your home to make sure your kiddos know how to react to real-life situations?

Why the Supremacy of the Relationship-Defined Cardinal Obligations is Good for FreedomTuesday, April 24th, 2007
The reason the supremacy of the Cardinal Obligations is good for freedom is because, except for the relationship between the government and its citizens, the obligations are voluntary and government authority and legal coercion is unnecessary.
The obligations are based on mutual benefit; one violates them at one's own peril. One gets punished by natural means; if one violates one's obligations one then loses the reciprocal obligations the other party owes oneself.
Thus, if a son is not xiao he risks his parents becoming unkind, as the reciprocal of the offspring's xiao is the parents' kindness; and if a husband is not respectful and cooperative he risks his wife becoming disrespectful and uncooperative, as spouses' respect foir and cooperation with each other are reciprocal.
Furthermore, other people who have a relationship with him, seeing that he does not carry out his Cardinal Obligations, may also cease carrying out their obligations to him. Thus the son who is not xiao risks having his own son being not xiao to him, and the seller who cheats his buyers risks having people who sell to him cheating him.
Not only that, but also other people who do not now have a relationship with the obligation violator/reneger will cease to come forward to have relationships with him. Since relationships mean mutual help, this means the violator will get very little help and therefore will not succeed in life or find happiness. Thus, a seller who violates his obligations will find fewer and fewer customers, a husband who violates his obligations to his wife will lose friends and few will become his friends, and so forth.
The supremacy of the Cardinal Obligations is the supremacy of mutual help, nothing more. It is the honor code for mutual help. It codifies honorable conduct for relations of mutual help in human society, relations that can be life long, relations that no human can live without. Adopting this honor code is entirely voluntary, but extremely beneficial. It is most conducive to success and happiness. Having such weighty incentives, once people understand the idea, they will conduct themselves according to this honor code, and there is no need for external coercion in the form of legal authority and government.
People are free to adhere to the honor code or not. If they do, they get rewarded, automatically, without getting the authorities involved. If people don't adhere to the honor code, they get punished, again automatically, without getting the authorities involved.
Government can be as minimal as possible, intrude into the lives of citizens as little as possible, and yet society runs harmoniously and justly, with everyone looked after. The weak, the aged and the disabled will be cared for by those who know them and are close to them, rather than by some anonymous big brother government agency.
As more and more people adopt the idea of the supremacy of the Cardinal Obligations, it will usher in a new era of free societies.

We could see the Space Needle as we rolled into Seattle. Is that it? I knew it wasn't as big as the Stratosphere at home in Las Vegas, but I expected to be able to see it for miles. Not that I don't respect it as an icon, of course, and totally want to visit it and try the signature dry-ice dessert in the revolving restaurant. But now the need to tick it off the list was a little less urgent. Hey, we'd seen it. It was cool. Mike gets motion sickness anyway. If we didn't go on this trip, we wouldn't feel cheated.
It was so good to get off the train. King Street Station is undergoing rehabilitation, so we weren't seeing her at her best, to put it gently. I excused myself from the crowded baggage claim room to wait outside, the perpetual hot flash going through an upswing. Taxis queued up all along the stunted little spot where people huddled for the next in line. Our half-designs on maybe grabbing a bus and being frugal vanished with no inner debate. We gratefully got into the cab when our turn came and gave our hotel name – Inn at the Market.
The taxi driver didn't quite know where that was, but I kinda sorta remembered the cross streets well enough to sorta kinda help out. (My phone was too slow to be of assistance, and the station wasn't far away enough to buy me time.)
As we kept our eyes peeled for the hotel, we noted how interesting all the streets and shops looked. We both would've liked more time in Seattle to explore, but getting to see Portland was really special, too. Now it was nearly 4 p.m., and I wanted to get settled in the hotel quickly so we could explore Pike Place Market before it closed at six. I know some bits stay open later, but I wanted to see all of the produce and flowers, not that either could be particularly useful to us.
(People strongly debate over whether you can embark with flowers on a cruise ship in Seattle. It has been done. It has also been refused. It makes sense that you can. It's not like they're flowers from another country trying to come into the United States. Still, I didn't want to risk disappointment.)
Remaining as uncouth as ever, we rolled our luggage into the hotel lobby ourselves. At the desk was a very cheerful man who was eager to show us on the map all the interesting places to go (as well as to explain the three restaurants affiliated with the hotel). "You been upgraded to a partial water view," he said matter-of-factly. That was great news; I'd heard that the less-expensive city view rooms, like we'd booked, could get a bit noisy, and from Google maps it seemed that "view" was an optimistic word. So, I politely listened to the man speak of all the great fish and seafood dining opportunities near the waterfront even though neither of us enjoys those so-called fruits of the sea.
From the outside of Room 305 we could look down into the open-air courtyard outside the lobby. From the inside we could sort of look into the Market from two directions. After The Nines, any room would have seemed small, but I nearly found the set-up cozy and not at all cramped. (The in-laws, who were not upgraded, were not as impressed.)
In fact, let's just cut to my Yelp review:
Don't be fooled into thinking you're just paying for location; Inn at the Market delivers at every level.
Of course, I might be able to say that because when we arrived, we were told we'd been upgraded to a partial water view. My in-laws, who'd booked later than us and were also staying longer (so there was probably less flexibility with their room assignment), had the same city room they'd booked and found the street noise to be so distracting that they considered cancelling their second stay at the Inn booked for after our cruise. (Instead, they talked to management who gladly arranged for them to stay on a higher floor for their return.)
Because this is a concern, and maybe because I'm a little suspicious of how the vending machines aren't advertised in the room's hotel info (they're in the garage, meaning I never found them at 4 a.m. as I prowled each floor before eventually settling for a mostly cold can of $2.50 Sprite from the minibar), I'm knocking off one star, but honestly, I can't imagine a better place to stay if you're in town for a short visit.
Our corner room on the third floor overlooked the main drag of Pike Place Market and one of its side streets. The windows opened, the two chairs were plush and comfy with a convenient table, the desk was spacious enough for all our electronics and my messy Smashbooking, the TV swung out to be angled however we pleased, and the minibar area as you enter has plenty of space for dismantling a carry-on as you search for some tiny item somewhere in its depths that intends to remain elusive until every item in the luggage has been pulled out.
The bathroom was long in design with the usual little amenities, and the bed - oh, the bed! So comfy with plenty of pillow action.
My in-laws found their room to be surprisingly small, and I could see how visitors might get that impression. If our room was the standard, then no, visually it doesn't seem as spacious. However, at no point were we cramped or edging around the furniture or each other, and keep in mind that a) I left our big suitcase open on the unpacking thingy (what are those called?) for the entire stay, b) we're big people, and c) we'd been guests at The Nines in Portland the night before, where our room could've hosted a party so large that you could invite two quarreling friends and not worry about them getting in each others' way, and yet it didn't spoil us for our stay here.
Lest you think the in-laws are surly and unable to be pleased, they did give high marks to the Asian restaurant on site as well as the attached cafe. (We went to the cafe for breakfast and, yes, it was tasty - all the usual items with some nice twists, like pesto in the eggs and fresh juice blends. Sit outside if you don't want to be cramped, though.)
The staff at the Inn never failed to be helpful, whether it was pointing out sights on a map (unrequested but appreciated) or arranging a van for us to go to the pier the next day.
I'd also like to give them an approving nod for setting out cocoa packets along with the coffee and tea in the lobby. I know it's Seattle and I probably won't be allowed back for saying this, but (whisper) I don't like coffee. (Looks around nervously.) I guess I drank enough cocoa in front of the fire to not begrudge the Sprite.
And, you know, I can only write about my own experience so... yep... let's reinstate that fifth star. We had a great time, and I'd love to have an excuse to stay at Inn at the Market again. We considered many well-regarded hotels nearby that were less expensive and had their own appeal (the Klimpton hotels and their loaner goldfish!), but when I thought about the value of the location, and then I thought about all of the other trip expenses, it seemed foolish not to "do it right" and pay a few Hamiltons more to stay at the Inn. Being able to step in and out of Pike Place Market in a matter of seconds will spoil you for life. And, when I stood alone in the quiet of sunrise on the observation deck, sipping my hot chocolate and watching our ship glide into port, I knew I'd made the right choice.
Phil and Carol were out at the Boeing Museum (which they recommend), so we checked in with them and set off for the Market.
The first place we went was Beecher's Cheese. Curds!
It cannot be overstated how much I love cheese. Mike has IBS and has had to consider which foods are triggers. At one point he said, "Maybe I'm lactose intolerant." My mind immediately reeled like an alcoholic whose best DT buddy is considering going sober. No! Don't become one of THEM! Don't stop the party! If Mike were lactose intolerant, what would I do? What would happen to our annual December tradition of buying a variety of untried cheeses and tucking in to our month-long Christmas cheese board? What's next, Mike? Are you going to be skinny, too? Traitor troll!
So, yes, seeing the curds made me happy. Now I know how all the people on tequila tasting tours feel... except there were no free samples at Beecher's. They didn't need them. I did note, though, that they were open past six. Okay, we were coming back!
Inside the covered areas and along the streets, there was so much to look at. I didn't want to miss anything, although it's hard to cover the Market in a linear fashion. If we lived in Seattle, I would have to bring an entourage to carry all my bags. (A whole stall of hazelnut products? I would be such a happy poppet!)
Of course, we had to see the "original" Starbucks, where it all began 41 years ago. (Unless you read this page and find out it wasn't quite in the same location.) Mike and I make a good couple because we both detest coffee (although a pinch of espresso in a chocolate flourless cake can be divine), but Starbucks' double chocolate Frappuccino (creme based, not coffee-based) deserves a salute.
The line doesn't look too awful there, but keep in mind that this is just the outside line. "I don't really want a Starbucks," said Mike. "Let's just stand in this line and see what happens," I replied.
What happened was that we stood in the line and barely moved. "Oh good," said the people in front of us when we joined. "Now we don't feel as silly."
It was neat to see the original Starbucks logo still in action.
The evolution of this logo to the de-sexualized, de-mythologized, and soullessly stylized version of today is an easy metaphor for the company's changing image overall. (Some would say that includes Starbucks' decision to sell those non-coffee products I enjoy so much.) I really like this logo and think I used the phrase "aquatic sheela-na-gig" when I originally posted it on Facebook. I'd love to see more of this rough and powerful symbolism in American architecture, but alas, it is America. (This page has a scholarly and interesting discussion of the logo - they are totally with me on the sheela-na-gig imagery.)
We finally shuffled up to the window of the store. Yay!
Wow, Starbucks. Not cool.
By now I didn't want a Starbucks either, not if it meant at least another 30 minutes in line with no guarantee that there would be anything interesting to get other than a drink we can buy on every other street corner across the country. As we left the line we peeped in through the open doorway to see the wall-to-wall people. Nope, not our scene at all.
Besides, we had to admit that we were pooped. The lack of sleep before the trip; the comfortable but too-short sleep the night before; me with my so-hot-and-wan-but-not-sweating boringness - nothing sounded better than grabbing some carbs 'n dairy and conking out in the room with that so-soft bed.
(Actually, Mike fancied the Cuban stall, but by the time he dashed back that way, the death knell of six p.m. had struck.)
So, we queued for some cheese bread and little honey-hazelnut crackers from Beecher's then went a few doors down to Piroshky, Piroshky, a Russian Bakery, for potato, cheese, and onion piroshkies.... which were sold out. Just cheese and onion, then.
Didn't matter; they were stunning. (Better than the Beecher's bread, but of course Beecher's isn't a bakery... which might explain the crackers. Meh. They tasted like the horrible whole wheat vegan things I used to bake before I decided that I would just try harder to buy butter from humane companies instead.)
The fun of getting fresh market wares aside, we would've liked a real meal, but nothing within "about to keel over and zonk" radius sounded good (or like they had decent vegetarian options). We searched for Indian places, of course, but they were all too far... so imagine our shock the next morning when we saw an Indian restaurant right behind and across the street from the hotel. Argh, talk about off our game!
But no matter, we were having great fun despite the snail's pace and range. I woke up in the middle of the night again, because that's just how I am. For someone who can be so sedentary and slow during the day, I have the worst time sleeping for very long because my brain loves to THINK! RESEARCH! INVESTIGATE! PONDER! NOW! LOOK IT UP NOW! SKETCH IT OUT NOW! PLAN, BABY, PLAN!
After the already described investigation of each floor for a vending machine (although not the front desk where I could have just asked), plus a quick peek at the location of the in-laws' room for no good reason, I contented myself with "Smash booking" at the desk using one of the booklights so as not to disturb Mike... further. (I may have seized upon one of his groggy sleep noises to try to start a conversation about dying of thirst for something cold and the principle of not having vending machines and I could have water from the tap but how the hell were we meant to fill the ice bucket. "Just get a can of Sprite from the minibar." Men, always about the solution.)
Speaking of rants, if you haven't ever been treated to one of my rants about Modern Scrapbooking, here comes the short version:
Okay, I started keeping raggedy travel scrapbooks when I was a kid (thanks to an awesome English teacher) which were mostly diaries with things taped in - receipts, brochures, coins of the realm, and so on. Then when the "matched paper and intense coordinating embellishments" method of modern scrapbooking became popular I was very attracted to that. However, as I attempted to make the most of products and tutorials, I kept coming back to a problem:
I wanted to make a scrapbook. The industry wanted me to make pretty photo albums.
Not that there's anything wrong with that, but I almost never make a print of a photo unless it's going on the desk or the wall. I wanted to do layouts based on ephemera and journaling, but I felt like I was flying solo as I came up with my own ideas. Furthermore, my "to be scrapped" pile was getting higher and higher as I put off scrapbooking little things (that didn't fit into a larger thematic layout) or big things (because I couldn't decide on how to lay it all out).
Some months ago, a billboard went up by my house for a scrapbooking convention. I checked it out online and noticed a workshop for "Smash books," a "new" way to scrap.
Hahahaha. A "new" way to scrap? This was the scrapbooking that people did before scrapping became a major industry!
So, I Googled around and found that Smash book had its critics ("This is nothing new!"), although most took offense over the idea of buying a bound book of pretty papers when "you can easily make your own with a ring binder and your own papers."
True and true, but the Smash book looked like a nice package at a reasonable price. (Even more reasonable if you use your local chain craft store's 40%-off coupon and don't get all excited like I did and buy it at the convention.) I went to the workshop, shook my head in non-judgmental amazement over all the women exclaiming how new and liberating Smash booking is, got a bunch of cool free supplies, and came home a fan. It is liberating, and I remembered why I enjoyed scrapbooking in the beginning. Just "smash" items into your book (using cute clips, the special SMASH glue-pen, whatever) and journal and doodle around them. Easy! Satisfying!
And perfect for our cruise, I decided. Instead of trying to do a write-up (or at least bullet points) every day in a notebook, as I usually do when traveling, I would glue things into the Smash book throughout the trip and write my thoughts in there instead. I got a bunch of stickers (cruise-themed and otherwise) to embellish and tossed them into my luggage in a little vinyl pouch along with small scissors, glue, and glue dots. Since this isn't modern scrapbooking, no fussing with bone folders and die cutters and all that crap. (I use the word "crap" lovingly.) Just pretend you are in high school and make it a true book of scraps, not an album of layouts.
Not to give spoilers for the rest of the cruise, but here's a video of how my Smash book turned out:
Once I caught up on that, I loaded the camera with the 100-400mm rental lens and went up to the deck on the fifth floor.
Short review of the lens: It was good to have on the ship. I couldn't have used more zoom and had dramatically different photos (unless we're talking something that is literally, and I do literally mean literally, the size of a small cannon) under those circumstances. If I'd taken it off the ship, who knows? It wouldn't have helped for the excursions we chose, but of course there are other excursions. Having the zoom instead of a prime was useful; I used the full range and was glad to not have to swap lenses so often. But, in the end, it's all about your style, so I'm afraid I'm no help, just like all the people on the forums I researched before renting. I wanted to hear "definitely do XYZ," but that's just not possible. Well, except for "bring something wide" - my 15-85mm walkaround was fine for that. And "bring some kind of telephoto." But whether to zoom and how long to go are difficult to predict for someone else.
By the way, I used LensRentals.com. That's not a paid endorsement (nothing I say is a paid endorsement... le sigh!); I'm just a satisfied customer. They shipped the lens early to make sure July 4th didn't slow it down. The lens came with a really nice case (Lenses have cases? What?) and a hood; and all I had to do to return it was take it to the nearest mail services store, hand the box to the person working there (with included return label on box), and ask for a receipt.
No one was on the hotel's observation deck. No one was (visible) in Pike Place Market.
I clumsily edited something out of that photo, but I'm admitting it, so that's okay, right?
"That's got to be a cruise ship," Mike and I agreed when we saw the ship in the bay on Saturday afternoon. But which one? No obvious logo stood out. How intriguing.
Later, we all speculated about the ship while out on the deck after our own ship had come in. But not until somewhere in the Alaskan waters days later did I backup the photo to the iPad and twitch my fingers to zoom in on its name.
"The World."
Oh wow.
Mike told me about this ship once; some famous Australian out of Perth has two suites on it, or somesuch. Wikipedia says that an "Ocean Studio" (something a bit smaller than the size of a standard Carnival balcony cabin) costs $600,000 and that the monthly fee begins at $20,000. Then Wikipedia goes on to say many, many things that reaffirm my long-held theory that I would be very good at being rich.
I find myself wondering if you have to dress for dinner on such a ship. I mean, if you're that rich, do you cross some kind of dress threshold (say that three times fast) and get to wear shorts all of the time? (One-hundred percent linen paired with a raw silk shirt, I'm sure, but still shorts.)
Yes, I did like that rented lens.
The sky was getting lighter.
I returned to the room and played on the iPad. At some point I peeped out the window.
Our ship! The funnel was in port!
Facebook alerted! Cruise Critic alerted! Mike alerted! (Again, I waited for the slightest sleep grunt and chose to interpret that as "Yes, I'm awake! Please start a conversation, honey!" Being married to me is a vibrant experience. Except for all the dull bits.)
Soon Mike was lying awake, texting with his Dad. (From email to texts to clicking "like," non-invasive communication is one of my favourite applications of tech.) Carol wanted another hour. Phil wanted coffee. Mike wanted a shower. I wanted to go see my ship!
Soon the guys and I were back up on the deck, Mike's first trip up there. Ship!
On our last cruise, on Carnival Splendor, I took a photo of the ship coming in while standing on the bow of the Queen Mary, and then I took a screenshot of Splendor's webcam, pointed at where I was. The Norwegian Pearl was facing away, but I took the screenshot (earlier) anyway. It's my new tradition.
And while our ship watched another ship, I watched Mike and Phil.
Ah, my daffodils.
Back to the room, a nap for Mike, then the four of us down to the cafe around back (which was fine, busy, had to sit on stools which isn't the greatest for short-legged dumpy folk like myself), then back to the room again (lobby cocoa in each hand) to double-check the packing and whatnot until it was time to meet in the lobby to take an arranged (by concierge, per my father-in-law) van to the port.

"With their debut full-length album Can't Slow Down, Graveltooth has managed to capture lightning in a bottle as they balanced their talent as songwriters alongside the instrumental prowess and free-wheeling delivery that has made them such an explosive live act. Chris 'Frenchie' Smith, the Grammy-nominated Austin-based producer known for his work with acts like Built to Spill, The Toadies, Jet, Meat Puppets and a slew of local favorites, was the perfect pick to help Graveltooth harness their energy in the studio. The result is a powerhouse rock & roll album with a unique ebb and flow and a sort of humanity that ties all the songs together."

Encouragement can come from anywhere and there are days as a writer when a little goes a long way. For example, after attending my first local chapter meeting, I left feeling a little star-struck and a tiny bit of self-doubt started creeping in. When you're in a room with multi-published authors who have the kind of career you long for and the kind of talent that makes you turn green, it happens. And it's salt in the wound when they're cool, too. I mean, don't these people have flaws?
All that being said, writers are some of the friendliest, most encouraging people I've ever met. It's because they've been there. They've written the novel, queried agents who are busy, doubted themselves and lived through it. Well, some of them anyway. The rest are still in the trenches waiting to get the call. (Don't worry. It'll happen.)
The point is, other writers can offer encouragement the way no one else can. Knowing they have self-doubt, or that they were rejected a hundred times before they got a contract, offers a shred of hope and let's face it, hope is all you have, sometimes for a very long time.

Why we need destructive cities is the focus of the keynote address at an event looking at the future of the outer suburbs.
Economist and executive chairman of national property research consultancy MacroPlan Dimasi, Brian Haratsis, will speak on the topic at the National Growth Areas Alliance Congress in Perth.
He has just written a book calling for a radical new way of city-making to suit the new disruptive economy, entitled "Destructive Cities".
A big believer in value capture, Haratsis will address this and other issues affecting outer suburbs.
The Australian Financial Review recently quoted his work: "Australian cities need to evolve from 'nanny state' place-making policy frameworks.
"We need a new city model, not more regulation of inner and middle ring areas."
Other speakers at the NGAA Congress from 14 to 15 November include the Shadow Minister for Infrastructure, Transport, Cities and Regional Development, the Hon. Anthony Albanese MP and the Australian Greens Co-Deputy Leader and Spokesperson for Sustainable Cities, Senator Scott Ludlam.
These speakers and others will address the theme "Building the outer suburbs of the future" in Perth. See the full program here and register now to secure your spot.

Analysis of Intermec-Symbol Settlement
Yesterday the RFID industry was abuzz with the announcement that archrivals Intermec and Symbol Technologies had settled their legal dispute related to RFID intellectual property. This article considers the repercussions.
Sep 08, 2005—This article was originally published by RFID Update.
September 8, 2005—Yesterday the RFID industry was abuzz with the announcement that archrivals Intermec and Symbol Technologies had settled their legal dispute related to RFID intellectual property. Since last year, when Intermec sued Matrics, the RFID hardware manufacturer that was subsequently purchased by Symbol for $230 million, the two companies had been engaged in a nasty legal wrangling that saw Symbol sue Intermec in March, Intermec counter-sue Symbol a few weeks later, and Symbol counter-counter-sue Intermec in May. The back-and-forth cast a pall over the industry, with vendors and end-users alike unsure of whom and how much they would have to pay for the use of the key RFID patents disputed between the companies. The question of intellectual property was up there with poor performance, technology cost, and lacking standards as one of the primary hurdles confronting wider RFID adoption.
It seems that that hurdle has now been overcome. According to the announcement, the two companies have settled all RFID-related disputes. Symbol has agreed to join Intermec's Rapid Start Licensing Program and exercise the program's cross-licensing provision, giving each company access to the other's RFID intellectual property portfolio (Intermec's includes about 145 relevant patents; Symbol's about 50). Even more conciliatory, the two data capture leaders have agreed to work toward resolving all other outstanding, non-RFID related legal disputes.
The news is a clear win for Intermec, who also announced yesterday the complete list of Rapid Start participants: Accu-Sort, Avery Dennison, AWID, Datamax, EM Micro, Feig Electronics, Hand Held Products, LXE, Metrologic, Paxar, PSC, Psion Teklogix, SAMSys, Sato, Symbol Technologies, Texas Instruments, ThingMagic, Toppan Printing, and Zebra Technologies. The fact that 19 companies -- including some of the industry's leaders -- have joined the program is another feather in the cap for the company that had raised the industry's ire last year when it announced its intention to charge for the use of patents that affect key RFID technology. Also notable is that a few of the names -- Avery Dennison, AWID, Symbol, ThingMagic, and Symbol -- are part of the recently announced RFID patent consortium initiative. It suggests that the initiative was not launched as a defensive measure against Intermec, as some had speculated, and it means that Intermec's Rapid Start program and the consortium can harmoniously coexist.
John Bruno, Symbol's senior vice president and general manager of the RFID division, said as much in Tuesday's media and analyst teleconference: "[Symbol has] access now to a very broad set of IP in the RFID market, inclusive of the licensing consortium and Intermec's Rapid Start Program, and that brings significant value to our customers and our partners and our ability to deliver very comprehensive RIFD systems to the marketplace without any concern."
The settlement is less positive for Symbol, but it's certainly not bad. At the very least, the company can move its RFID business forward without the nagging uncertainty of the outcome of the many suits with Intermec. When asked during the teleconference if the company could build a profitable RFID business based on the new licensing agreement with Intermec (the financial details of which were not disclosed by the companies), both John Bruno and Symbol's interim president and CEO Sal Iannuzzi answered simultaneously in the affirmative. The company has shipped 10,000 readers to date and is on track to have a production capacity of 400 million tag inlays for next year. Kevin Starke, senior analyst at Weeden & Co., predicts that if Symbol pays a royalty of 5% for the use of Intermec IP (higher than 5% is unlikely), this would only reduce its estimated gross margin for 2005 by ten basis points. And even if Symbol's RFID revenues double next year, the effect for 2006 would only be a reduction of 20 basis points in the gross margin. Not terribly significant.
The fortunes of Intermec and Symbol aside, their settlement is clearly good news for the industry as a whole. With one of the largest concerns now seemingly resolved, both a real and psychological impediment to wider adoption has been overcome, reinvigorating the industry's determined march toward the Internet of Things.

The Rio Olympics is almost upon us with just a couple of days until the anticipated opening ceremony.
It will be the first time a South American nation has hosted the Olympics since the modern games began in 1896, but there are high expectations for Brazil after they hosted a successful FIFA World Cup in 2014.
More than 10,000 athletes will compete across 28 Olympic sports for the 306 sets of medals on offer.
But when does it start, when are the main events and what's the latest news on the Russian doping scandal?
With two weeks of sporting action about to hit our TV screens, here's all you need to know about the Rio Olympics.
When does it start?
The opening ceremony kicks off at Rio's Maracana Stadium on August 5 at 8pm local time. That means a late night for those watching in the UK as Rio is four hours behind - the ceremony starts at midnight for us.
The director of City of God (2002), Fernando Meirelles, has been put in charge of the opening show. Meirelles has reportedly been given a budget one-tenth the size of London's for their opening ceremony four years ago, but said he would compensate with "creativity, rhythm and emotion".
More than 6,000 volunteers are taking part and rehearsals have been taking place for almost three months.
After the show, athletes from 207 countries will take part in the Parade of Nations through the stadium. Team GB will be the 76th nation in the parade.
How can I watch it?
The BBC will be showing blanket coverage across TV, radio and online.
Are there any tickets left?
You might be leaving it a bit late to get tickets to the most popular events, but there are some still available with prices ranging from £45 to £1,000.
Who will I know from Team GB?
Distance runner Mo Farah, diver Tom Daley and track and field athlete Jessica Ennis-Hill are just some of the famous faces in Team GB.
But there are a total of 366 athletes competing for Great Britain and Northern Ireland that we can cheer on.
Any North East athletes?
Yes, there are more than 10 athletes from across the North East in Rio competing in boxing, rugby, athletics and more.
Kat Driscoll, from Houghton-le-Spring, will be hoping to get a medal in the trampoline while Sunderland's Alyson Dixon will be taking part in the marathon event.
When are the main events?
Most of the unmissable action takes place in the athletic events, which begin from Friday, August 12.
Because of the time difference though, you will probably have to stay awake into the small hours to catch Usain Bolt and co.
The men's 10,000m final, likely to feature Mo Farah, will be at 1.55am on Sunday, August 14.
You'll have to stay up even later to see the men's 100m final at 2.25am on Monday, August 15.
Diving is also popular, and can be seen most days throughout the Games.
Anything else I need to know?
This year's games have already seen a fair share of controversy. After the outbreak of the Zika virus in South America, there has been more than 1,800 cases of microcephaly, in which a baby is born with an extremely small head. Golfer Rory McIlroy is one of those who have decided not to take any risks and will not be at Rio.
What about Russia?
Well, then there's the Russian doping scandal. After evidence of state-sponsored doping was uncovered, the International Olympics Committee decided not to ban all Russian competitors.
Instead each sporting federation has decided who should be allowed to compete on an individual basis.
And when does the whole thing finish?
The closing ceremony in the Maracana Stadium will take place on Sunday, August 21, at 11.15pm UK time.
This will mark the handover to Tokyo ahead of the next Games in Japan in 2020.

The DI-A finals match-up will be set after this weekend's semi-finals. In one semi-final you have a mammoth clash between BYU and Life and in the other you have Arizona trying to pull off a major upset against St. Mary's.
BYU vs. Life
It would not be a stretch to call this the game of the year so far in college rugby. Both Life and BYU are legitimate title contenders and have been in either the Varisty Cup or DI-A finals for most of the decade. Since 2013 they have a combined six titles. Now one of them is going to miss out but it's a legitimate toss-up as to who is going to go home early.
Each team has taken a different path to get to this point. BYU, like they do nearly every year, has had a schedule mixed with local college teams, club teams like the Glendale Raptors, and home and away series with very tough teams like St. Mary's and Central Washington. Outside of a loss to St. Mary's on the road and a couple of losses to the Raptors there has been little that has gone wrong for BYU this year. They have pulled out blowout win after another and have only gained strength as the season has gone along.
Take the jump to read more.
Much of their surge has to do with the warming weather in Utah but also the play of their veterans. Any roster with the likes of capped Eagles Calvin Whiting and Matt Jensen, along with Alex Vorster, Kevin Schofield, the Whippy brothers, and Tua Laei is going to be very, very difficult to beat. Those players have years of experience playing high-level rugby and have had to deal with high pressure situations.
That said, BYU couldn't hold on against Cal last year in the Varsity Cup championship match and they are going to have to travel across the country to take on a tough team. BYU hasn't had to travel much outside of the West Coast in recent years and now they'll have to recover from a trip to Indiana last week and a trip to Atlanta this week. In what is expected to be a close match the travel fatigue factor could be big.
Life's season has mainly been against Mid-South opponents. The weather saw them off to a slow start at the beginning of the calendar year but as their conference season has progressed they have only improved. They really showed how strong they are with their win over Lindenwood last week. Now at home and with the weather warm they are poised to try and defend their title.
Like BYU, Life's roster is littered with players with big game experience. Harley Davidson was a key part of their title run last year. Alex Maughan has been capped. Sam Cowley, Maciu Koroi, Cody Melphy, and the Van Schalkwyk brothers are all extremely good players and difference makers. There are going to be some very good head to head match-ups in this one.
What's going to be the difference? Both teams can score and both teams can defend. We think that the difference will come early on. If BYU can jump out to a couple of try lead early like they have done all year we think they'll go on to win. If the Life defense holds firm and they go up early then it's their game.
St. Mary's vs. Arizona
This one should be fairly straightforward. St. Mary's are heavy favorites and Arizona is going to need something very special to beat them. It was though the Gaels might be given a challenge last week against San Diego State but they turned that one into a big win. It seems that St. Mary's trip to Ireland and Scotland has only boosted them. That should be a scary though to either BYU or Life.

Should you hire your spouse?
Maybe your spouse helps out at your small corporation without pay. Although wages are taxable and fringe benefits cost your company, you could be missing out on tax-saving opportunities for hiring your spouse. Consider the following:
- You're saving money in the company 401(k), but what about your spouse? If certain requirements are met, your spouse can contribute to the plan while the business deducts contributions made on his or her behalf. Frequently, your spouse can build a tidy nest egg within the tax law's contribution limits.
- If you're paying a hefty bill for your spouse's health insurance coverage, hiring your spouse as an employee will likely save money. The amount of your company's payment is deductible by the business — just like it is for any other employee — even if you're self-employed.
- You typically can't deduct your spouse's travel expenses like you can for yourself if he or she is accompanying you on a business trip. However, if there's a legitimate business reason for your spouse to make the trip, the travel expenses — such as airfare, hotels and 50 percent of the cost of meals — become deductible.
- Is your spouse planning to attend school to improve business skills? If he or she enrolls in courses through an educational assistance plan, the cost is generally deductible by your business. For the employee-spouse, annual benefits of up to $5,250 are exempt from tax.
- Does your business provide group-term life insurance coverage on a nondiscriminatory basis? Then you know the cost is deductible by the business and the first $50,000 of coverage is tax-free to employees. As a bona fide employee, your spouse can be covered under the plan.
There's one catch: S corporation owners generally can't deduct fringe benefits for any employee owning 2 percent or more of the company. This prohibition extends to coverage for an owner's spouse. Your tax advisor can help you determine when it makes sense to put your spouse on the payroll.

Nearly two-thirds (64%) of US Advertisers will increase their spending on paid advertising on social media sites in 2013 [Vizu 2013]. Like many news organizations, KVOA (DMA 70) was looking for a way to offer this opportunity to its own sponsors and cash-in on the social-media spending frenzy. The station turned to SocialNewsDesk to help set goals, define sponsorship opportunities and support the execution of a social-media sales plan.
If You Build It, They Will Come
The team at KVOA knew that the first step toward making money in social media is creating a valuable social space. As a TV station, they committed to a social media strategy and looked to SocialNewsDesk to help them execute that strategy. Using the tools provided by SND, KVOA set up best practice standards for posting and held the staff accountable. Soon, the KVOA Fan Page grew into the #2 highest Fan Count in the market with eyes set on becoming #1.
Making the Sale
KVOA made it easy on sponsors by creating a simple, easy-to-understand social media sponsorship package that was clearly defined. The package included naming rights for the KVOA Fan of the Day Facebook App on the KVOA Fan Page along with 3 clickable banner spots. It included the placement of a LIKE button for the sponsor's own Fan Page inside the KVOA Fan of the Day App, and a daily Facebook Post promoting the contest and its sponsor. Also, each weekday, the sponsor received an on-air mention during Tucson Today when the news team revealed the winning Fan of the Day's photo.
Quick and Easy
The SocialNewsDesk technology made it easy for KVOA to set up and deploy this sponsored contest. KVOA simply uploaded the banners and in less than 5 minutes, the Fan of the Day App was live on its Facebook Page! SocialNewsDesk automatically counted each time the banner was clicked and collected all user data in an easy-to-export spreadsheet. And the SND scheduling feature allowed KVOA to pre-write the promotional Facebook posts and schedule
Recurring Revenue
The Fan of the Day segment has quickly become a staple for KVOA's Tucson Today morning news. Because there's a new Fan to celebrate each day, it's a great opportunity for sponsors to purchase several months of the sponsorship. And at $650/month, this has become a strong recurring revenue stream for KVOA.

Where I'm At: Volume 2
Its finally here: Volume 2 of the "Where I'm At" mix series, presented by SubliminalMessagesRadio.com!
This entry, from south Florida's somejerk is a bass music lover's dream. Never sticking to a pre-defined genre, somejerk (real name: John Gregory) delivers a non-stop, in-your-face assault on your audio receptors.
A quick word from somejerk about his contribution to the series:
somejerk - Where I'm At: Volume 2
As bass music has become a global phenomenon, definitions for genres have become blurred and it's increasingly more difficult to define what things are. This mix spans a few different styles, juke to grime and dubstep, and some other things that don't really have a name just yet. Labels such as Planet Mu, Tectonic, Hotflush and Embassy (all used in this mix) focus on putting out high quality electronic music, regardless of genre, and that's where I'm at, as a DJ and music lover

A pivotal member of the George Mason University's basketball team has been arrested and charged with credit card larceny and fraud. The criminal charges against the Patriots' senior guard forced his suspension from the school's team less than a month before regular team practice sessions are set to begin.
Stephens City man charged with DUI after building crash
A trial date has been set in Frederick County General District Court for mid-October for a Stephens City man charged with a repeat drunk driving offense. Police reported the 29-year-old man's alcohol breath test registered 0.30, more than three times the legal 0.08 limit for Virginia adult drivers.
Virginia man faces felony drug charges after meth lab discovery
Police in Southwest Virginia arrested two men on drug-related offenses during a regular traffic patrol. One man faces felony drug charges for allegedly manufacturing methamphetamine. A second man was booked for narcotics possession and released.
University of Richmond coach resigns after DUI arrest
Being arrested for and charged with drunk driving can be an overwhelming experience, and police are rarely sympathetic. Not only could a person be facing expensive fines and potentially jail time, a DUI charge could also seriously affect a person's livelihood, including his or her job. A Virginia college football coach recently experienced these unfortunate effects of a drunk driving charge when he was arrested for the offense just before the team's season opener.
Virginia man enters guilty plea for oxycodone distribution
A U.S. District Court judge accepted the guilty plea of a Broad Run, Virginia, man for a felony drug charge. The 29-year-old is accused of conspiracy for the distribution of controlled substances in several Northern Virginia counties.

Pest management operators serve as guardians of the environment as they utilize pest management methods. Operators play a very important role in limiting liability for pesticide misapplication.
Within the industry, reduction in pesticide use is being achieved in many ways. More companies are now offering quarterly, semiannual and annual service, thereby reducing the amount of product being applied. Several new baits for use on cockroaches, ants, termites, etc., are now available that incorporate the concepts of pinpoint application, low toxicity, and low dosage. New general-use pesticides and termiticides are being applied at remarkably low concentrations. All of these innovations have resulted in reduced use of pesticides.
The industry has come a long way since the 50s-70s, when pesticides were applied indiscriminately. We now have tools at our disposal that enable us to reduce the risk and use of pesticides, satisfy our clients, and achieve our pest management goals.

Now that the pumpkin beer craze has largely died down (although it'll reach a new peak on Monday, when the Saint Arnold Pumpkinator is supposed to release), it's time to pay some attention to the other seasonal beers that have released for the few days of fall Austin will get. Here are a handful of the ones to look out for throughout the rest of this month.
Austin Beerworks Montecore: This collaboration beer with the Easy Tiger team is one of my favorites of the Oktoberfest beers out there. The märzen-style brew (a malty lager) was released last month at the beer garden's Oktoberfest celebration, but you can still find it on tap at a few places, including sister restaurant Arro on West Sixth Street. Although many Oktoberfest parties have come and gone with September, this month stills calls for such an easy-drinking fall beer.
Hops & Grain's Alteration: Yes, it's almost back! The altbier that had once been part of Hops & Grain's mainstay lineup was moved into fall seasonal status to make way for A Pale Mosaic, now in year-round cans. This German-style beer is worth stocking up on as soon as you see six-packs of it in stores because of how nicely it balances each element, from an up-front maltiness to a crisp finish. As the brewery website states, the noble hop varieties in it provide "a bitterness and level of earthy hop spice that plays a fancy partner to the classic German malt backbone."
Independence Brewing's Reaper Madness Black IPA: Previously the brewery's 9th anniversary beer in 2013, head brewer Brannon Radicke decided to bring it back from the afterlife and reincarnate it into Reaper Madness. It's not hard to figure out why it was popular enough for a second coming: the Black IPA is full of both roasted malty goodness and juicy hops, and at 6.1 percent ABV, it's not as heavy as some of the other darker beers that dominate this time of year. Look for it in cans and on draft through late January.
Twisted X's Senor Viejo: This boozy old gentleman is returning Saturday at the brewery and Monday in bars and stores. It's an imperial black lager that was aged in Garrison Brothers whiskey barrels. But wait! Before the Dripping Springs brewery got them, Dulce Vida Tequila added its signature Lone Star Edition Añejo into them also — and the result of all that whiskey and tequila-soaked barrel-aging is notes of vanilla and oak combined with the softening element of agave sweetness. It's Twisted X's biggest beer, one that you'll want when the temperatures finally start to dip.
Uncle Billy's White Walker: Part of the Hop Zombie IPA series, this white IPA featuring a malt bill of 50 percent wheat is a sessionable treat. In it, you'll notice the traditional grapefruit notes from Amarillo hops are there, but the Sorachi Ace hops also present give it lemon and herb characteristics that nod to the witbier style. The Hop Zombie IPA series has allowed head brewer Trevor Nearburg to experiment with hops; this latest version is no different and particularly suited to Texas' idea of autumn.
We'll see the porters and stouts of winter and all their barrel-aging variants hit tap walls soon enough. In the meantime, enjoy these lighter options.
