text: Hints: for those of you who are stuck. 1 - use the KEYBOARD shortcuts! 2 - enemies have resistances to certain elements. Some (like the orange worms) are impervious to an element. 3 - recycle and replace often. Any enemy that escapes is that many fewer resources to hit the next wave with. 4 - To beat Extreme, it's useful to know that the slowing effects of certain elements stack, that is, both can be in effect at the same time. 5 - Writing reviews encourages more games to be made by me ;)

We arrived at Ft. Wilderness (Walt Disney World, FL) just before noon today. We're settled at our campsite waiting for our golf cart to be delivered. Electricity and cable TV is all hooked up. They don't have WIFi at the sites so I'm using my iPhone's 3G network to post.
I finished my Waikiki Wildflower throw today. Hubby said "You dragged that all the way down here and it's finished!" But it wouldn't have been finished if I hadn't...and I knew I would forget the stitches and how to get in the groove again.
We hope to eat supper at Trail's End restaurant this evening. It's kind of our tradition. I may take a break from blogging to have fun and just relax for a few days.

About Bethel, Vermont
Windsor County
*Area, Population and Density rankings refer to Bethel's relative position among Vermont's 255 civic entities (9 cities, 242 towns, 4 gores and grants). Complete rankings are here.
The first town created by the independent Republic of Vermont.
Dudley Chase, one of the grantees, while surveying the town with his associates, awoke one morning and told of having dreamed of the Biblical story in which Jacob slept in a field with only a stone for a pillow (Genesis 28:11-22). Jacob had declared that stone to mark the place of God's house and named the place Bethel. Chase's associates were so impressed by the dream that they agreed to name their town the same. When the Baptist Church was built in 1824 in the village of East Bethel (the area where Chase's group had been camped), stones from the site were gathered and incorporated into the foundation.

"I wish I'd been a teenager during the late '60s or early '70s instead of during the '80s because I wanted to be a hippie. And then, by the time I became old enough to have to work for a living, the tide turned -- grungefests like Lollapalooza, along with the liberal attitudes of the Clinton administration, gave rebirth to the neo-hippie movement. Essentially, I think I missed out on a groovy time."

Firestone Tournament Of Champions - Archived Standings
Riviera Lanes, Akron, Ohio, Apr 20-25, 1981
Cook Snaps Slump Almost Perfectly
Steve Cook was clearly the best player on the PBA Tour in the $150,000 Firestone Tournament of Champions as he threatened perfection in the championship match before settling for a 287-183 victory against Pete Couture. Cook, a 6'6", 260 lb. southpaw, belted out 10 consecutive strikes in the championship game, each one solid in the pocket, before coming light on his eleventh attempt and leaving the 6-7 pins. Couture had no chance against that onslaught but had performed courageously to get that far, including a double overtime win earlier in the finals. The 5'8", 130 lb. Couture had one of two 300 games in the 16th annual Firestone and put together the top match play record of 18-5-1 in securing third place going into the championship round. The other 300 game was by Gary Dickinson in a sixth-round match against Mark Roth in which Roth lost by two pins. The 300-298 match play clash (a record later to be broken), propelled Dickinson into second and Roth into fourth for the finals, just ahead of fifth-place qualifier Earl Anthony. Cook, meanwhile, while never owning a large lead, came through at crucial points throughout match play and prevailed with a 218 average at Riviera Lanes. It was not only his first TV finals effort of the year but the 24-year-old had not finished above 19th all season. The slump had affected Cook's confidence to the point that he considered he might be overmatched on the pro tour and began thinking of quitting. All that, the self doubt and the financial struggle, was to change. Anthony defeated Roth in the first match. Anthony and Couture then rolled to a 205-205 tie, forcing a roll-off of two frames in which they each scored 40. As the almost unbearable tension mounted for both the players and viewers of the historic match, Couture rolled four straight strikes in the second roll-off and was declared the winner when Anthony missed striking on his third attempt. Cook waited for his chance to bowl for the largest first prize on the PBA Tour. As he had done in the past in such a position, the Roseville, Calif., native determined to play aggressively, as if attacking the lane and pins much more than usual. His first 10 shots could be mixed up and replayed out of sequence and only the sharpest bowling eye would be able to put them back in actual order. An extra $10,000 was on the line if he could come up with two more. "But as soon as I threw that second shot in the 10th frame I knew it wasn't right," said Cook. "I thought it might have a chance to carry but I wasn't counting on it." He didn't have to. He had already counted the $30,000 for the title. TELEVISED FINALS
PLAYOFF RESULTS - Anthony defeated Roth, 221-192; Couture defeated Anthony in a double roll-off, 60-40, after they tied 205-205 and 40-40 in the first two-frame roll-off; Couture defeated Dickinson, 198-179; and in the championship game Cook defeated Couture, 287-183. 48-GAME TOTALS 24-GAME TOTALS * - Match Play Alternate. ** - TV finals alternate. 24-game qualifying leader- Cook, 5254. 24th place- Jaskie, 4950. # Pete Couture and Gary Dickinson rolled 300 games.

Guest Blogged by John Gideon of VotersUnite.org
I've added a new suggestion to this reminder so I am going to send it a second day in a row. [Thank you for the timely suggestion Jody] Voter registrations and voter registration data bases have been a huge problem during the primary elections. There is no reason to believe that they will not be a huge problem in November. One of the only ways to ensure a voter is registered is for that voter to check their registration. We recommend every voter check now and then check again just before the voter's state registration closes before November. We urge voters who find themselves purged from the registration roles to write a letter of complaint to their local Board of Supervisors, especially their own representative, with a CC to their SoS, the local newspaper Editor, and their congressional members. If those responsible for representing the citizenry start receiving such letters they might act to eliminate the cause. You can find out the date that your state is closing registration and who to check to ensure your registration is still HERE: ...

I have been following this blog for some time now and they truly brighten my day every time I make a visit. It is a breath of fresh air filled with color, texture and overall quirkiness. I love how much they appreciate Danish fashion and you can totally see it in their styling. I often visit their etsy store and find coveted treasures. Check these ladies out here:

You're the one, Neo!
Neo is quite the aptly named plug; if you are new to plugs, it is a wonderful choice for a beginner. If you aren't new to plugs, but are looking for something new that is sure to be a pleasurable experience, Neo is also a great choice. The sleek, black, velvety silicone feels amazing and is a wonderful addition to any toy box, and I couldn't be more pleased with my new Neo!Published:
-Perfect for beginners
-Safe, easy to clean material
-Comfortable and stays in place.

Follow-up commentary
1 month after original review
This plug is awesome. Using it for double penetration with my partner was quite a thrill, and while I can say that perhaps people who want a good amount of girth in their plugs might find it lacking, for me and for people who enjoy the sensation of feeling full but not stretched, the Neo is just about perfect. This is a wonderful plug for beginners, and I now know from experience that it can be worn for long periods of time without getting uncomfortable. For me, it's the perfect plug.
This content is the opinion of the submitting contributor and is not endorsed by EdenFantasys.com
Excellent review! Looks like a great plug.
Great review, thanks!
Great review and pictures, thanks
my only thought is that the length of it might be a bit too much. i have another 4" insertable plug and it is a little...pokey. not sharp, just a bit too long. great comparison picture with the spade, as i have that one as well. funny, i actually am better with the wider than with the longer. sorry for the tmi. great info...and thanks for the pictures. always so helpful!
ps. also love the pure plug 2.0
It's the perfect length for me, but then again, I have the Sex in the Shower anal beads, and those are 9" of insertable goodness! Still, if you like girth more than length, the Neo may not be your perfect plug. I'm going to have to work my way up to the Sexy Spades. But it's good to have goals.
i would like some good anal beads as well...as those bend and go around corners, i think that would work better for me than a longer plug that does not conform to angles. watching some videos, i don't know how women do it, or men for that matter. great respect! now i'm off to check out the sex in the shower anal beads. thanks for that tip!
thanks for the review !
Looking forward to getting this. Thanks for the review!
Excellent review and we'd agree with what misterazor said above. This is a great plug but a fraction too long and 'pokey' for us sometimes.
Thanks for the review!
Thanks for the reivew, nice pictures also =)
Thanks for the great review

That was the first thing that crossed my mind as I checked out the fully unlocked and finally completed Gran Turismo 4 last week. I know, I've said that before last October I basically said the exact same words about the release of the oft-delayed racing simulator. However, this time it's for real (I promise). Gran Turismo 4 is coming out on Tuesday, and it definitely won't disappoint driving enthusiasts with its visuals, its complexity or the amount of included unlockables. Get ready to start your engines, because we're burning rubber with this first impression review of Gran Turismo 4.
I emphasize first impressions with GT4 because of two main reasons: One, considering that there hasn't been any preview code even shown around in four months, the fast track approval for North America didn't allow for the typical preview coverage. In fact, I probably managed to experience the game in better conditions than most people ever experience it: an incredibly clear flatscreen TV with surround sound and a fully constructed racing cage. Outfitted with a Sparco racing seat and a Logitech Driving Force Pro controller specially designed for GT4 itself, this was a racing gamer's dream rig. (Unfortunately, that driving setup is probably more cost prohibitive than anyone other than the hardcore aficionado would pay for; the cage, seat and peripheral alone was more than 700 bucks).
Two, as I said at the very beginning of this article, the game is massive. I could radically estimate that unlocking just a small tip of this iceberg could take around 100 hours. However, that's with very minimal success scattered here and there it's not plausible that every person getting behind the wheel will win every race, nor is it possible to continually get every single nuance of the game down to the point where you could defeat the game's AI every time. Obviously, this means that racing fans should expect to hunker down for a long time trying to beat challenges and unlock new features. Fortunately, to gain the details that I've about to share with you, I had access to a completely unlocked save game, which provided access to just about every facet of the GT4 universe.
Career mode is essentially the lion's share of the gaming experience, with all other "modes" spawning from it. Once you start the game, you're essentially brought to a central "hub" screen that centers around your "Garage." Here, you'll have the option to pick and choose from the numerous cars you've purchased, won or otherwise acquired throughout your career. Much larger than any physical space (you might actually say car lot?), the garage can hold at least one thousand vehicles of different makes and models of cars from around the world, regardless of stock or aftermarket modification. We're talking about of the sweetest cars ever seen on the planet, including everything from sleek Saleens and turbocharged Aston Martins to Vipers and Prowlers. However, you're not going to start off at the top with an incredible car; you're going to have to work your way there. Instead of other games that provide you with stock machines or even concept racers, you'll have to take your hard earned cash to a couple of used car dealerships to purchase machines that will give you a chance on the track. Once you've built up enough dough in your bank account, you'll probably be able to head over to race shops to buy brand new vehicles, some of which will have their own races you can enter.
Players will be able to pick and choose from their stored vehicles in a number of ways, including sorting by manufacturer or region. This actually comes in handy when you're figuring out which area of the world you're going to race in, such as the US, European or Japanese tracks. Most of these races have their own requirements, such as a racer having a specific kind of car, tires or license class to enter. So you'll have to change cars frequently just to enter certain events. Gran Turismo's faithful license requirements return to test and strengthen gamers racing abilities, and there seems to be much more of a basis on these skills in GT4.
See, the game tracks just about every facet of play, including what races you enter, cars you like to drive and performance you seem to exhibit on the track. This is recorded in the game diary, which you can access at any time to decipher just how you've done through the game. It also serves a number of other functions. First, this evaluation helps establish a basis for the amount of money (or credits in GT4) you receive after a race. Based off your machine's stats compared to the other vehicles in the field, along with where you place and how well you drive, you might receive extra credits at the end of an event atop of the ones you're guaranteed to earn for simply entering.
Second, the game presumably tracks the wear and tear on a vehicle based on the amount of times you use it in the game. Not only does it keep track of mileage for every machine, but it presumably tracks the dirt kicked up and gathered on cars (showing them to be dirtier and dirtier every time you drive) and the miles to go before you require an oil change. While it wasn't possible to test it completely, it was plausible to believe that infrequent car maintenance could significantly decrease a car's performance. However, thanks to the numerous aftermarket parts provided in the game, you should be able to care for your car before this happens. This should be easier than before, considering the options to either throw parts on a machine or fully tinker under the hood. Grease monkeys will be pleased to know that there's more than thirty separate parameters than can manipulated for a car, so you can practically strip a car and remake it to suit your needs.
Players will have access to a drive park to test out these newly modified machines. Outside of this, there are a number of additional events that can be found in GT4's career mode. Players will be able to enter beginner, professional or expert racing events in a number of different places. Players looking for extreme challenges might want to try Special Condition races, where you drive on courses with obstacles such as walls, extremely tight curves or slick roads. You've also got the option for offroad racing, snow races, city or endurance events (which primarily break down into distance and duration based laps). Finally, you have the option to take to Original courses based off actual locations. For instance, the El Capitan course was based off Yosemite National Park.
B-Spec, the driving coach feature that I described in the last preview, has been fully folded into the game, and appears during certain races and regions. Once again, players have the ability to pick and choose exactly how aggressive they want to coach their drivers from the sidelines, having their computerized racers respond accordingly. There have been a few notable tweaks to this feature which pulls the mode more in line with the game's overall opponent AI system. While the game doesn't set up feuds or racers that are always out to get you, any bumps or collisions that you create to gain a position will be remembered and revenge will be attempted at some point later. Because of this, your driver won't go completely nuts when trying to go all out in passing another car. Instead, they may make sure there's no way they can be knocked out of position before making their move. Photo mode has also been included into the career mode, so once you've acquired a stable of cars, you can take your machines to any one of 15 locations, including Italy, Japan and the Grand Canyon for photo shoots.
Visually, this game is still breathtaking. The cars look phenomenal and the environments are still eye-catching. Gamers familiar with some tracks will easily be able to pick out certain landmarks or other features from their real-life counterparts. For instance, if you've ever been to Vegas, you'll be able to recognize some of the Casinos on The Strip that you'll race past, like The Bellagio or Paris Las Vegas. Players with HD capable TVs will truly benefit from this game, as GT4 is the only HD formatted title on the PS2. What's more, it supports up to 1080i, which is quite possibly the sharpest gaming ever seen up to this point. Sound is still impressive, with GT4 accurately rendering the different growls and rumbles of each engine on a track. It's also supported by more than sixty songs. We're talking about everything from Classical such as Beethoven to Alternative rock like The Donnas and Jet and Funk like Bootsy Collins.
All that said, the largest reason why this isn't a fully complete review is not because of the lack on online play, itself a significant omission in current racing titles. No, the biggest reason itself was that due to the unlocked nature of the game, there was no way to get a sense of just how the play works as a beginner working their way up. Considering that, it's hard to explain completely how succeeding or even persevering at a certain level unlocks cars or new tracks. What's more, while the game does give previous GT3 players bonus credits for their saved games, it wasn't possible to check how many were received without starting a fresh game. So while my initial score listed below is an 87, it's still a rough score that still has room for re-evaluation and is merely based on what I saw last week. However, we do plan on revisiting this review once we have the final copy, so stay tuned for a comprehensive look at the most anticipated racing simulator of all time!

Those of you old enough to be investing before the
year 2000 will recall that there there was another recession in the last
decade or so. Many investors have forgotten about the technology boom
and bust that occurred at the start of the last decade. However, in
certain sectors like telecommunications and Internet infrastructure, the
scars still run deep. Indeed, stock prices of data center providers
like Equinix (NASDAQ: EQIX ) , InterXion (NYSE: INXN ) , and the U.K.'s Telecity
are all down in 2013, largely because of fears of the sort of
overcapacity that plagued the economy after the tech bust. Are the
concerns justified? Is now a time to buy?
As is always the case in investing, the answer is yes, and also no.
Why it's a "no"
Economics 101 will tell you that most industries follow a pretty familiar path. High profits in an industry tend to encourage new entrants (or in this case, encourage existing providers to invest in new data centers), and capacity increases as everyone enjoys profits. After the initial profit euphoria, history tells us that firms tend to over-invest, only to then see profitability fall as too much supply is on tap. Indeed, all the leading players have been aggressively expanding data center capacity in recent years.
Of course, the problem for investors comes when
profitability starts to fall in anticipation of tougher conditions.
Analysts start downgrading their price targets, and suddenly the roof
caves in on your stock. Everyone then realizes that end-demand was
vastly overestimated. All of this happened in 2000 with Internet
infrastructure darlings like Cisco Systems (NASDAQ: CSCO ) and Alcatel-Lucent. The fallout was painful.
Fast-forward to today and there are signs that the
data-center providers may be facing overcapacity issues. The single best
indicator is probably gross margin. Decline is an indication of a drop
in pricing power, while an increase represents the contrary.
Gross margins look like they are moderating for InterXion and Equinix. Furthermore, Telecity
saw its gross margin decline in the first half from 57.3% last year to
56.9% this year. Telecity's revenue per occupied square meter increased
only 2.1%, which suggests that future revenue increases will come from
capacity expansion rather than pricing.
Turning to Equinix, it reduced its forecast for
second-half revenue growth, partly because it saw softer conditions in
Germany, longer sales cycles within its enterprise markets, and its
average deal size appears to be getting smaller. All three are signs of
slower growth.
InterXion gave results in August, stating:
Customers continue to have extended decision-making time frames, but demand remains healthy and the pricing environment is consistent with previous quarters, as is the sales pipeline.
Again, when sales cycles get longer, it is usually a
sign of a slowing market. If pricing is consistent, it implies the
industry players are finding it harder to increase them.
Why it's a "yes"
This isn't the late 90s. It really is different this time around because long-term demand looks much better-placed.
Internet-enabled devices -- smartphones, tablets,
etc. -- simply weren't available back then in order to drive demand for
all the network capacity that had been built up. It's a different story
now. AT&T and Verizon are both
seeing strong smartphone subscriber growth, and Intel has had to take
substantive action to change its business, thanks to the shift to mobile
It's a similar story with corporate demand for
cloud computing, and software as a service (SaaS) applications. All of
which is leading to demand for data centers to store information and
applications for corporation. Moreover, financial services firms are not
displaying any slowdown in their desire to use increasingly complex
trading systems.
Data center demand remains high as evidenced by Cisco's revenues.
Where next for Equinix?
In conclusion, end demand does appear to be slowing, and analysts/investors are starting to downgrade expectations. However, this is arguably reflected in Equinix's share prices right now. The key valuation metric -- as defined by Equinix -- is the 'adjusted discretionary free cash-flow.' Roughly speaking, this is the free cash flow generated if you strip out the expansionary CapEx. In its last update, Equinix forecast this figure to be around $620 million to $640 million for 2013, which represents around 5.2% of its current enterprise value.
The valuation looks fair, but the stock carries the
normal risks inherent in industries that are facing short term risk. If
you are a cautiously minded investor, you might wait for a better entry
point to compensate for the risk that margins start to fall.
Alternatively, you could monitor gross margins, and industry pricing
power in order to gauge when the demand has caught up with capacity.

Look in the mirror, Mr. President
The big story being spotlighted from the Vatican to the White House, from Oxfam to newly elected Mayor Bill de Blasio in New York City, is economic inequality.
"The human rights group Oxfam reported that the wealth of the world's 85 richest people is equal to that of the poorer half of the world's population," reported Voice of America on Jan. 20.
In other words, the wealth of a little group of people who could fit into two Mercedes party buses is equal to the combined wealth of the 3.5 billion people who make up the bottom half of the world's population.
That's nothing new. Wrote Jeffrey Goldberg in 2011 in Bloomberg Businessweek, regarding the Wal-Mart heirs, "In 2007, according to labor economist Sylvia Allegretto, the six Walton family members on the Forbes 400 had a net worth equal to the bottom 30 percent of all Americans."
Similarly, I could say, correctly, that my net worth is greater than the bottom 25 percent of American households, added together. "In 2009, roughly one in four (24.8 percent) of American households had zero or negative net worth, up from 18.6 percent in 2007," reported Forbes magazine in December 2011.
Oxfam disapprovingly reported that the annual income derived from the $73 billion fortune of the world's richest individual, Mexican telecommunications mogul Carlos Slim, is equal to yearly wages of 440,000 Mexicans.
Oxfam didn't say whether those 440,000 Mexicans would be better off if they had more people like Carlos Slim, Henry Ford, J.W. Marriot, Andrew Carnegie, Walt Disney, W.K. Kellogg, Sam Walton, Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Ralph Lauren, Warren Buffett and Mark Zuckerman in their country — all innovators who became wealthy because they produced new jobs, economic growth and new economic pies, not because they grabbed large slices of pre-existing pies.
On Dec. 4, President Obama summed up the performance of the U.S. economy over the past three and a half decades: "Since 1979, our country has more than doubled in size, but most of that growth has flowed to the fortunate few." The unfortunate many, he said, suspect "the deck is stacked against them."
By the age of 3, said Obama, again citing numerical inequality, "a child born into a low-income home hears 30 million fewer words than a child from a well-off family." That might have more to do with absent fathers and drug abuse than the tax rate on capital gains, more about overindulging in negativity than the unobtainability of books.
Pope Francis said we "have to say 'thou shalt not' to an economy of exclusion and inequality" and not "assume that economic growth, encouraged by a free market," buttressed by "trickle-down theories," will "inevitably succeed in bringing about greater justice."
In fact, the pro-market, pro-growth policies of Reagan, disparagingly referred to as "trickle-down economics," produced falling poverty rates every year from 1984 to 1989, a 20 percent overall hike in real per-capita disposable incomes, a drop in inflation from 13.5 percent to 4.1 percent, and a decline in the unemployment rate to 5.5 percent by way of the creation of 20 million new jobs.
Today, in contrast, Obama's anti-growth policies of more taxation, more regulation, more government and more redistribution have produced the worst economic recovery since the Great Depression, the lowest workforce participation rate in 40 years, declining incomes, more inequality and more poverty.

We haven't heard about MSI in a while, since January to be more precise when the Taiwan-based company brought the low-price Enjoy 71 tablet to market. At this year's Computex event, MSI introduced several tablets under the Primo brand. One of them, the Primo 81 has an interesting concept in mind; elegantly bringing Apple iPad Mini's elements to the Android world.
If we wouldn't know better we would go even in saying that MSI is trying to make a full-state copy of Apple's popular tablet. The story continues with two other devices, the Primo 73 and 93, with the latter being sold in the same segment as the Apple iPad.
Starting with the most intrusive, the Primo 81 comes with a 7.85-inch IPS display that's capable of 1,024 x 768 resolutions (which is HD), fabricated by LG. The same specs, with the same performance, can be found on the original iPad Mini. Even the viewing angles are exactly the same.
When it comes to sizes and design, the Primo 81 is around 7.8mm thick and comes with a matte finish and a modest build quality. The slate has a rectangular form with rounded corners and a front side with thick bezels.
On the back side we've spotted a camera (specs unknown), and a wide range of connectivity ports; HDMI, miniUSB and of course, the casual 3.5mm audio jack. We can also observe a rather large speaker in the bottom-left corner, as well as how much the Prim 81 mimics iPad Mini's protective shell.
On the inside, Primo 81 comes with a quad-core Allwinner A315 processor, 1 GB of RAM and a sturdy 3,500 mAh battery. All these elements should power Android 4.2 Jelly Bean just fine. Unfortunately, we won't see it in the United States.
Primo 73 (displayed above) was another product introduced by MSI today, and the 7-inch screen with 1024 x 600 resolution is surely destined for emerging markets. We managed to get a peek of its form, and judging by the first impression, Primo 73 has a slightly more polished design and a better build concept than it's lineup mates.
The software will be powered by a SoC AllWinner A20 chip, formed by a dual-core ARM Cortex A7 processor, working in tandem with an ARM Mali 400 GPU. Those are then combined with 1 GB of RAM, 8 GB of internal storage and of course, the popular microSD memory slot.
The last member of the crew is Primo 93, which aims to hunt down the iPad 4 using a 9.7-inch display with HD resolutions (1024×768). Besides a microSD port, a stylish volume button and a rather interesting design, this slate has a rubber side finish.
Specs wise, the Primo 93 packs the same Allwinner A315 quad-core processor and Android 4.2. There will be 16 GB of internal storage and 1 GB of RAM. As batteries go, MSI announced a 6800 mAH battery which should be sufficient for 3G and GPS capabilities. As far as we know, there is no LTE support.
There were no release date or pricing details disclosed.

Raiders of THE BOX update 1
Mea Culpa, Mea Culpa, Mea Maxima Culpa.
I may have gone just a teensy little overboard on the whole box thing. Because I am extraordinarily pretty (and therefore not very clever - it is an inverse proportional relationship thing - why yes! I do live with a scientist!) I may have put just a little bit of stuff in the box.
You see b/c I am, as I say, not particularly clever, I figured that 10 people in the swap meant I had to put in three things per person. I know, I can hear you - three things only would have done!! but I am tooooooo pretty to be clever and so I have stuffed it to the gunnels. In my defence - the box is quite light, just, errr, a little big. So mea culpa to the international set and feel free now to metaphorically slap me upside the head and pull out of the whole thing.
I was in my friend's shop yesterday packing it all up and she was so excited about what was going in the box she has signed up for the swap.
There are a couple of places left if anyone wants to join in. I shall be posting out on Saturday.
**Will update** As of yesterday he is in a cot not an incubator and as of today he is spending the day in his mum's room and only bedtime in the NICU. So YAY! Team Blogoverse, the power of positive thought is not to be denied :-)
17 comments:
I'm not clever, nor am I particularly pretty. This means I have no excuses for my stupidity. Maybe I just caught it, like some sort of infection? It's probably a virus called Noro-eejitus.
That weird alien/robot is back squatting in your Neocounter - did you know? I think you should start charging him rent. Could be a nice little earner.

Time to get to work on a chilly afternoon and I'm feeling like I need something warm in my belly, so Mulberry Magic, I choose you! I'm also in a kind of zen mood today because I finally heart my baby's heartbeat again (after 6 weeks between appointments) which settled down my inherent worry-wortness.
I nailed the smell of the dry tea: those little liqueur chocolates that you get at Christmas! It smells exactly, EXACTLY like those. And again, it has the unmistakable yellow cake batter flavour that just fills your mouth and makes you think of licking beaters while an oven set to 350 bakes your delicious, delicious treats. Now that Canadian Thanksgiving is done, all I can think about is Christmas (and how I can get away with not hosting any of the festivities…) I think I'll be buying several tins of this as gifts for people.
Or maybe I'll just buy several tins of it as "gifts for people" and then drink them all myself.

The New York Times Has No Idea What It's Talking About
For posterity's sake, I would like you to pay special attention to the first sentence of the column:
WASHINGTON, in many ways, is an unsurprising place to visit - an expanse of monuments, symbols and sites familiar to any American who watches the evening news (or, at least, "West Wing").
The writer, Adam Nagourney goes on to tell us that with some extra work, you can find the "real" DC. The real DC being, no joke, "a city of surprises and unfamiliar delights."
The first thing to do in the "real" DC is go to the roof of the Hotel Washington for some drinks and a terrific view of the White House. That's right. The first surprise and/or unfamiliar delight is, wait for it, the White House! Good work, Adam Nagourney.
Next on the itinerary is a stop at the 9:30 Club. Nagourney believes that the 9:30 is "arguably one of the best places in the country to see a show." Seriously? Adam Nagourney can probably afford $6 beers. Also, Adam Nagourney is an idiot. I'd put the 9:30 as 3rd best in the Metro area behind the Black Cat and the Filene Center at Wolf Trap.
What's the next surprise and/or unfamiliar delight on Nagourney's itinerary? Why, Georgetown of course!
If the weather is nice, explore Georgetown, a historic neighborhood of narrow tree-lined streets, some still with cobblestones, and historic homes and churches. And the best way to see Georgetown is to get lost there. Wander the streets randomly, notice the pleasing details of the Federal houses and, if the need arises, spot what passes for a celebrity in Washington. (Yes, that probably is the senator or television correspondent you think it is.)
Wow! Is that really Tim Russert??? It is!!! THAT JUST TOTALLY MADE MY VACATION!!!!
Nagourney goes on to suggest that a good way to kill time in Georgetown is to crash open houses. I can just imagine some poor real estate agent in the Carolyn Burnham mold dealing with some pretentious NYT reporter. It's good to know that Nagourney thinks that real estate agents are to be used for our petty amusement.
Once you're done house hunting, it's time to go to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. Another "hidden" gem. I'll copy-and-paste the entire paragraph:
The Vietnam Veterans Memorial, Maya Lin's senior thesis project, looks best late in the day, when the sunlight doesn't shine as fiercely on the harsh, black granite. The memorial is hauntingly moving and easily overwhelming. And it should give solace to those who despair whether New York City planners will be able to agree on a fitting tribute on the grounds of the World Trade Center.
That last sentence is just so weird and out of place. I don't see how that gives any 9/11 mourner solace. The Vietnam Memorial is beautiful, thought-provoking, and literally awesome. It's an amazing thing. New Yorkers, especially with the political charge surrounding any potential 9/11 memorials, will never be able to duplicate the quiet power of the Vietnam Memorial's black granite. But, yeah, that paragraph really sucked the fun out of the travel section.
I do feel bad that New Yorkers are getting stuck with that proposed Freedom Tower. A 1,776-foot tall building...lamest symbolism ever. And at 408-feet taller than the WTC, it will be that much easier to hit with a plane. Just sayin'.
Well, anyways, back to Gerogetown!
Georgetown, is as much theater as food. It is a swirl of young and old, Georgetown and Capitol Hill, Europe and Washington, and the closest thing you'll get to a celebrity palace in Washington. (Was that really John Kerry having dinner on the patio? Why, yes!)
What is with the weird celebrity worship? Politicians in Washington? That's crazy!
And what better way to end the night than driving by the memorials. Remember that first paragraph? About the "real" DC? Yeah, it was total bullshit. And why drive around the memorials when you can walk through the Mall?
The city is not as safe as it once was, so if you decide to walk around here, which is tempting in the moonlight, keep an eye out around you.
Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God.
The next day Nagourney goes to the Spy Museum and blah, blah, blah.
So, here are Washington's surprises and unfamiliar delights that were exposed by the NYT:
1. Monuments
2. 9:30 Club
3. Georgetown
4. Crime
As for the parts that remain unfamiliar to a typical NYT travel section reader:
1. Any part with black people.
2. Except for a club in a gentrifying black neighborhood that features a mostly white clientele.
Thanks, New York Times, for helping me plan my weekend.

Well I mean to be fair, NYC has it's share of hidden gems. They have this big square where there are millions of people milling around and going to shows on a street called Broadway. I think they call it Times Squares or something. Oh and they even, if you're brave enough to walk that far, have this gigantic park with fountains and street performers...Center park or something. Anyway.

Bizarre that Nagourney would be a person to write an article on spending 36 hours in DC, considering that he is (or at least was) the paper's White House correspondent for so long.

Awesome article. I read that NYTimes article and was thoroughly annoyed....
Do I hear a hint of DC pride in your column, Rusty? - formerly anonymousAugust 25, 2006
Wait a minute. Let's take a step back here. If I read you carefully, at the end of your post, you state that:
1) The NYT visited Georgetown
2) The NYT did not visit anywhere with black people.
Rusty, are you saying that it's unusual to see black people in Georgetwon?
What a monumentally hypocritical gaffe. Hahaha, when I read the article this morning I had a feeling you'd be all over it, Rusty. My personal favorites from the article are when he says that the 9:30 club is in a "dicey neighborhood" (if by "dicey" he means "gentrifi-licious!") and says eating in some trendy G-twon spot if "just like New York." (Really? Then why leave New York? Way to make all us NY-ers look like stereotypically self-centered snobs.)

While I agree with most of what you said, I don't appreciate the 930 hating.
They have the best sound system (unlike the Black Cat) and it's the only place around here where you can see national acts in a club setting.
The beers aren't any more expensive than anywhere else, but the selection more than makes up for it. Plus, you can always drink in the car before/during the show.
Honestly, I think you're still salty about the Sleater Kinney (probably spelled wrong but they suck so..)concert, but don't let that sway your judgment.
That reminds me of one of my friends who got kicked out of there the last 3 times we were there because he was too bent, and now he hates the place.

36 hours in DC? That's what people should be looking at.
Seriously! The moment tourists start invading the parts of the city I enjoy, instead of the parts I already loathe (the Mall, the Metro, etc etc) then I have to move.
Great article, Negoaugegokt! - Jesus of AustinAugust 25, 2006
The profession of journalism is in a state of peril when what Noam Chomsky calls arguably the world's most important newspaper gives such a great job to such a great assclown.
The New York Times should be sending its readers to some of our finer parts of P.G County.
I'm sure he was able to expense those $6 beers.
There is a good place on 18th above Florida and below Columbia near the pool hall that attracts a big black clientel and has really cheap booze. The crowd is fun too. I guess our NYTimes friend didn't wind up there.... - AnonymousAugust 25, 2006
Great read of a lame article. BUT, I gree with the anonymous commenter who prefers 930 to Black Cat. Not only is the sound system at 930 way better, so are the sight lines; at 930 you can actuall SEE the band, from anywhere in the house. Black Cat is low-ceilinged claustrophic space, and unless you're 6'4" or 15' from the stage you can't see jack shit. And so what if the beer costs more. Get drunk at home (that's waaaay cheaper than either place) and then go to the venue where you can actually see/hear your favorite band.
ReplyDelete - Jesus of AustinAugust 25, 2006
You're right. I mean, the chamber of commerce isn't going to be promoting minority neighborhoods for rich vacationers in ANY American city, but the fact is that, like New Orleans, this is a "chocalate city" and Georgetown and the White House aren't really represetative.
I know newspapers are closing "foreign" bureaus like crazy, but they should have a more established presence in the most powerful city in the world. Some journalist. Couldn't get the hookup.

In response to anonymous,
DC is the original "chocolate city" as a phrase.We're not like New Orleans,New Orleans is like us. - Jesus of AustinAugust 25, 2006
Gotcha. This city was really my first socialization toward blacks. I remember walking down the street, as a pretty good-sized man, and feeling my heart start to race as an elderly black woman came toward me. She was using a cane. I guess I was afraid she'd whack me over the head w/ it!
But you're right. D.C. is the quintessential African American homeland, as important culturally as Harlem, no doubt.

Rusty, your entire rational of saying the Black Cat is better than the 9:30 is that the beer is $2 cheaper? So I'm guessing you only go to clubs to drink, not to listen to music?
ReplyDelete - AnonymousAugust 25, 2006
I've gotta say, I've never been to the Black Cat, but if you're my height (a towering 5'2" you get stuck not being able to see anything at the 9:30 club a lot...and usually it's because some 6 foot tall jackass won't let you step in front of him, even though he wouldn't even notice your midget-like presence.
ReplyDelete Mons Venus,
I go to any club for the band, and the band only. I have no problem going to the 9:30 Club to see a band I really like. Of course, I would prefer to see the band where the drinks are cheaper...who wouldn't?
As for needing to be tall to enjoy The Black Cat...I'm 6'2" so no problem.- FishmanAugust 26, 2006
Speaking of drinks at local music venues, a few years ago I was at Merriweather for a show. The sign at the concession stand said the following:
Microbrews: $8.00
Beer: $8.00
Couldn't they just have the sign that says "Beer: $8.00"?
And not to mention the fact that the beer was EIGHT DOLLARS. - Jesus of AustinAugust 26, 2006
That reminds me of a photo I saw of a sign posted outside of an auto mechanic garage:
Monday-Saturday: 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Sunday: 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
You have to learn from the black man: sneak in small bottles of Jack to pour in your $5 cokes. If we're gonna talk hidden gems, why not mention Eastern Market, Roosevelt Island, Dumbarton Oaks, or Great Falls...
Perhaps Nagourney liked the 930 Club so much because Justin Timberlake was there this past Friday?? Ahh, now it's exposed: he obviously is sleeping with the former N-Sync lead singer. Well, there's another N-Sync hottie out of the closet!!

Rusty's tour of D.C. would invariably involve a stop off at McDonald's... Low budget, you know?
New York Times readers be like, what the f? What a panyhero! Ok, yes, I'm a DC-hater, but from a larger point of view, as much as I hate G-town, it is aesthetically beautiful...The houses are gorgeous. I don't like the fratty aspect of it; I don't like the traffic; I don't like the whole politician spotting (more like, I could give two shits). But at the end of the day, it is a beautiful neighborhood, and I'm not saying that there aren't any other beautiful neighborhoods in DC either. In regards to the monuments, well, if any tourist comes to DC, of course he/she is going to see all the monuments 'cos they're also free! Going to some of the monuments/attractions in NYC can cost a lot of money. Oh and about 9:30 Club, yeah, the beers are somewhat pricey, but you know what? I'd rather pay a few extra dollars for a beer, than pay $15 in ticketbastard fees and see a big act at the f*cking Patriot Center, Verizon, or Nissan. And I don't go to those venues, unless one of my favorite bands/musicians is performing. So I am very happy when I can see my favorite band peform at 9:30 than those other monstrosities. Regarding crime, I never felt unsafe when I was living in NYC (and no, I didn't live in a prodominately white neighborhood and I'm not white either). I lived in very diverse neighborhood w/projects nearby and never felt worried. Here in DC, I've walked down some streets, and it's felt unsafe. And it doesn't have to do with the race of the people who live there...it's the lack of police who patrol these neighborhoods.

Editorial: IRS scandal a 'special' case
These days, it can be difficult for disinterested onlookers to separate genuine scandals in Washington from ordinary partisan rabble-rousing. Every public controversy tends to play out according to the same script: Conservatives reach for the interpretation most damaging to the Obama administration, while the White House dismisses the entire affair as the product of Republicans' fevered imaginations.
Recent developments in the controversy regarding Internal Revenue Service harassment of conservative organizations, however, leave no doubt that this scandal is the real deal. We were originally told that the government's abuse of private citizens was simply the product of a few overzealous IRS employees in Cincinnati and that, in President Obama's words, there was not "a smidgen of corruption" involved. That reading seems hard to square with Lois Lerner's decision to invoke the Fifth Amendment rather than answer further questions about the case, or with the news that emails relevant to the investigation were lost in a computer crash and the hard drives destroyed. Coincidences are rarely so convenient.
When news of the scandal first broke, President Obama thundered, "I have got no patience with it, I will not tolerate it, and we will make sure that we find out exactly what happened on this." That was precisely the right reaction to such damning revelations. His administration's subsequent conduct, however, has failed to live up to the president's stirring condemnation.
Despite the fact that the House of Representatives has held Ms. Lerner in contempt, the Obama Justice Department has steadfastly refused to move forward with the case. Similarly, the thin-skinned recent testimony of IRS Director John Koskinen before the House Ways and Means Committee demonstrated a fundamental lack of seriousness among those tasked with finding out "exactly what happened on this."
This stonewalling has come at a price: the loss of public trust. In a Fox News poll last week, 74 percent of Americans called for further investigations, a number that included majorities of Republicans, independents and Democrats.
Given the lack of accountability throughout the executive branch, we've come to the reluctant conclusion that the appointment of a special prosecutor is necessary. That individual could investigate this case free from the political considerations that have thus far stymied any meaningful action.
Special prosecutors are inherently problematic given the autonomy with which they operate and their historical tendency to exceed their mandate. It's an ugly remedy – but it's perhaps the only one that will assure this ignominious story does not vanish in a fog of evasions.

THE LATEST PRESIDENTIAL opinion polls have put Sean Gallagher firmly on course to become the next President of Ireland, holding a 14-point lead over Labour's Michael D Higgins.
A Red C poll, to be published in tomorrow's Sunday Business Post just four days before polling, shows Gallagher as having gained one percentage point on his showing from last week, standing on 40 per cent.
Labour's Michael D Higgins drops one point to 26 per cent, and now stands 14 points behind his main rival, though he remains comfortably in second place, with double the share of third-placed Martin McGuinness on 13 per cent.
David Norris overtakes Fine Gael's Gay Mitchell to come into four place, gaining three points to move to 10 per cent, as Mitchell's support continues to fall – he loses another 2 points to stand on 6.
The two female candidates remain at the bottom, though their order has reversed – Dana Rosemary Scallon's support rises one point to 3 per cent, while Mary Davis falls to just 2 per cent.
The sampling for this week's Red C poll was carried out between Tuesday and Thursday of this week. It showed that only 10 per cent of voters are undecided.
A second poll, published in the Sunday Times and carried out by Behaviour and Attitudes, also leaves Gallagher in the lead – in that poll, he holds a 38-26 lead over Higgins, while McGuinness stands third on 17.
In that poll, Gay Mitchell is on 8, David Norris on 6, Mary Davis on 3 and Dana Rosemary Scallon on 2. Similarly, only 10 per cent of voters have not decided who to vote for.
The Sunday Times' poll also asks voters for their intentions on this week's referenda – showing 87 per cent of voters in support of the referendum on judicial pay, compared to 8 per cent against and 5 per cent undecided.
76 per cent of voters in favour of the referendum on Oireachtas enquiries, while 18 per cent are opposed to it and 6 per cent undecided.
The improvement in Gallagher's performance comes in spite of renewed focus on his status as a member of Fianna Fáil's national executive, and increased media scrutiny on his business affairs.
It also comes despite what many had perceived to be a poor showing in last week's RTÉ Prime Time debate – which had taken place after the polling in the last comparable SBP poll published last weekend.
Bookmakers Paddy Power have already slashed their odds on Gallagher now taking the position – despite rival Boylesports deciding to pay out on Higgins earlier this week.
Gallagher's odds have now been cut to 1/5 – from 4/1 – while Higgins has been cut to 7/2. The remaining candidates are priced at 50/1 or better – indicating that the bookmakers now believe the election to firmly be a two-horse race.
Lesser-performing candidates now face a significant battle to reach the 12.5 per cent of the vote they will need in order to reclaim some of their election expenses.
Candidates must reach that threshold at any count in the election in order to qualify for a refund of their expenses, which is capped at €200,000.
Sunday Business Post/Red C opinion poll:
(Standing in last week's SBP poll in brackets)

Next week I have a camp here in Scottsdale, Ariz which focuses on getting the athletes started on their Base training with a solid plan. I also do this for each of the athletes I coach. Part of the procedure involves a determination of how the athlete's body prefers to fuel itself. This is a critical issue for long-distance athletes regardless of sport. So with this in mind I went back and dug up an article I wrote for a magazine on this topic a couple of years ago. You may not have seen it so here it is...
Are you a fat burner or a sugar burner? Most athletes don't know, yet this is valuable information, especially if you compete in four-plus-hour races. A limiting factor for such events is carbohydrate intake. If you don't take in enough sugar during the race you are likely to run low which ultimately means your name in the results will be followed by the letters "DNF" (did not finish). On the other hand, take in too much sugar and your gut can't process it possibly resulting in bloating and nausea.
To further complicate the matter, there is a fair amount of individuality when it comes to using carbohydrate during such events. Some people's bodies burn more carbohydrate as a percentage of total calories used. They are "sugar burners" and need to be very concerned with carbohydrate intake. The "fat burner" has a body that prefers to use fat for fuel and so spares sugar stored in the body. This person is metabolically designed for long endurance. That may be the result of fortunate genetics or effective training.
How do you know if you're a sugar-burner or a fat-burner? And how do you determine if you are taking in the right amount of carbohydrate? Ultimately you need to experiment during your long workouts to find what works best for you. But you can narrow it down by discovering your "Respiratory Quotient" (RQ) which is sometimes also called the "Respiratory Equivalency Ratio" (RER). (They aren't exactly measures of the same thing but close. You can read about RQ here and RER here.) Once you know your RQ rate you have a better idea of what your carb needs are during exercise. If you find you're a sugar burner it may even be possible to change your body so that it relies more heavily on fat. More on this later.
RQ may be found by doing a metabolic assessment or VO2max test. It used to be that you had to go to a medical clinic or university lab to have such a test done, but now there are boutique testing centers popping up around the country in health clubs, bike shops, and running and triathlon stores. You can probably find such a test facility somewhere near where you live. The test generally costs between $150 to $250. It can be done on your own bike using the test center's indoor trainer (this is preferable to using a stationary bike) or on a treadmill for running. If you're a triathlete and can afford only one test I'd suggest doing it on the bike as your nutrition here generally has a greater impact on your performance than when running due to the duration of the bike portion.
The typical test protocol starts you at a very easy effort and increases the intensity every few minutes until you fatigue and can no longer continue. In order to get good data you need to treat the test like a race by resting for a couple of days before. Doing this test tired will muddle the results and what you do with them.
There will be several pieces of information resulting from such a test. One is RQ. As the intensity of the test increases you will gradually burn more carbohydrate (glycogen) for fuel. The RQ closely estimates how much of the energy came from carbs and how much fat. The following table may be used to determine your percent of energy burned from these two nutrients throughout the test.

The fat-burner will start the test with an RQ of around 0.80 meaning that he or she is using about 33% carbohydrate and 67% fat for fuel. That's good. I like to see that in those I coach. An otherwise similarly fit sugar-burner may start the test at the same low intensity but with an RQ of 0.90. At this RQ he or she is burning 67% carbs and 33% fat. That's not so good. I see very few of these but they are out there. When both athletes reach their anaerobic or lactate thresholds they will be at about 1.00 RQ which means 100% carbohydrate and 0% fat. (Total fatigue will end the test at an RQ of about 1.1 to 1.2 for both.)
Notice that the sugar burner has a much narrower RQ range (0.90-1.00) than the fat-burner (0.80-1.00). So at moderate intensities, as are common in long-distance events, the sugar burner needs to be very aware of carbohydrate intake as he or she risks running low on this precious fuel. Some athletes are such gigantic sugar burners that they find it difficult to take in enough carbohydrate during the competition. They're using sugar faster than their stomachs can process it from sports drinks. That often means a gut "shutdown."
If you discover from a test that you are a sugar burner you may be able to modify this condition somewhat. I say "may" because there is some research indicating that there is an element of genetics involved [1]. This probably has to do at least in part with your muscle make up, especially your percentage of slow twitch or "endurance," muscles [2].
Another chief determiner of RQ is your diet. Simply put, the more high glycemic load carbohydrate foods you eat (starches are the most prevalent in this category) the more your body will rely on sugar during exercise [2,3]. Conversely, the more fat and protein in your diet the lower your RQ will be. Eating starch or taking in glucose in a sports drink before the start of the test or the race may also shift your RQ to the sugar-burning side whereas fruit juice will not have this effect [4]. (Lesson: Best not to rely on sports drinks or starches before races.) The other known influencers of RQ are related to training. As you become more aerobically fit your RQ will drop [5], and related to that, research has shown that as your training volume increases RQ is also reduced [2].
It is even possible to determine how much carb you need to take in during a race from a test. All you need to do is find your goal race intensity—heart rate, power or pace—for your race in the test's raw data results and determine, also from the results, how many calories you were burning at that point. Then check RQ at that same intensity to see what percentage of those calories came from sugar. You will need to replace most of this expended energy during long events (this is not a big deal for short races). The test technician can help you figure this out.
Knowing your RQ and, more importantly, keeping it on the low side through diet and training has the potential to improve your performance in long-distance endurance events.

In Britain, the truth really is out there as the government declassified more than 6,000 pages of reports on people's experiences with unidentified flying objects.
One of those documents includes a police officer reporting that he spotted a UFO hovering over Chelsea Football Club's stadium in the British capital.
The unnamed officer said he saw bright yellow lights over Stamford Bridge in March 1999. He said the lights moved with sound over the football pitch, and changed from a square to a diamond-shape before disappearing.
The reports cover the years 1994 through 2000 and were released under a three-year project between the Ministry of Defense and The National Archives.
The documents include some people's drawings of what they saw, and in at least one case, video.
A UFO sighted by police in northeast England was filmed, and the coast guard was informed.
The coast guard also reported the UFO and an unidentified object was recorded on radar.
The documents can be viewed online at http://ufos.nationalarchives.gov.uk/.
