Camping Products Guide - TechPosted in How To on August 1, 2009
Camping is a big part of what we do. Whether we're covering an event along the Rubicon Trail or exploring the mining regions of Colorado, more often than not we're many miles from a bed and a hot meal. After a few too many instances where we found ourselves without the proper gear to sustain ourselves, we decided to make up a short list of some of the items that can make camping life that much more livable. No, we aren't talking about buying an RV and hooking up a satellite dish, but we are talking about improving your camping gear collection to include some basic items that will help satisfy your safety needs, your sleep needs, and your appetite.
Brunton 8040G Compass
Long before hand-held GPS units were the norm outdoor adventurers have avoided getting lost using a trusty compass. The Brunton 8040G is a classic example of such a device. The pocket-sized 8040G is a mirrored compass with an easy-reading, optic green base plate, a tool-free declination adjustment, and a built-in thermometer. Weighing just 1.6 ounces the Brunton 8040G features a clinometer, a 0-to-35-degree-inclination scale, two-degree graduations, and inch and mm scales. The compass measures 3.8 inches by 2.5 inches closed and is 9 inches by 2.5 inches open. A lanyard is also included.

Black Diamond ApolloLantern and Icon Headlamp
The Apollo Lantern from Black Diamond is a bright, non-glaring, soup-can-sized backcountry lantern with foldable legs and NRG rechargeable battery compatibility. The lantern's frosted globe combined with its inset 3-watt LED eliminates glare while the dual reflectors capture and maximize light output, which casts sufficient illumination to brightly fill a four-person tent. A dimming switch provides adjustable brightness and the fold-down legs increase the Apollo's height to 9.5 inches, which further boosts light dispersion. The lantern runs on four AA batteries or using Black Diamond's NRG Rechargeable Battery kit, which can provide simple, one-step wall-charging similar to a mobile phone. The Apollo also features a handy battery power indicator with green, yellow or red LEDs that display either the amount of battery power left or the charging status of the NRG.
Also available from Black Diamond is the Icon headlamp. The Icon headlamp offers a three-watt LED spotlight, four proximity LEDs, and seven different brightness settings. When used with the NRG rechargeable battery kit the Icon will stay illuminated at full strength all night long. For a longer duration of light the Icon can use AA batteries and be set to use just the four proximity LEDS to provide more than 160 hours of burn time. The Icon also features a dual-purpose battery-power meter that displays a green, yellow or red LED to indicate either the amount of battery power left or the charging status of the NRG rechargeable battery.

The nose box can be used for additional storage or for mounting of deep cycle batteries, the solar controllers, power inverters, battery chargers, and marine grade 12-volt outlets, all of which can be added at an additional cost. The 2-inch receiver tube in the rear bumper will support a bike rack and other light weight accessories. Adventure Trailers can also customize the roof rack system to not only support a rooftop tent but also to hold bikes, kayaks, surfboards, and a multitude of other equipment. Also available from Adventure Trailers is its Horizon Trailer, which offers 54-cubic-feet of space with enough room to sustain a group of four people camping remotely for a week.

Tentrax trailers are constructed of fiberglass due to its superior engineering strength and versatility, allowing the trailer to withstand the rigors of rugged terrain and extreme conditions. The optional tent and bed features a durable bed and waterproof tent that automatically folds neatly into the lid of the trailer when not in use, leaving over 30 cubic feet of dry and lockable storage below. The tent and bed are supported in the lid with heavy-duty struts that also make for easy trailer lid opening. The spacious front rack is one of four trailer racks specifically designed for the Tentrax trailers. The others are the tongue rack, top rack, and the bike rack carrier. Tentrax trailers are custom-designed for each customer.

Floreio Workout Number 4
First things first, We have a forum in action and people are posting already, go register - http://forum.idoportal.com/ Lots of material has been posted. (By me and others)
And now for buisness... This time we are going to start, after a warm up, with some Equilibre work.
Equilibre (French for balance) is the art of handbalancing. I have studied this art over the last couple of years, from three different people: two good friends - Yuval Ayalon and Yuval Oz, who studied under French Equilibre master Claude Victoria, in addition to spending a week in France in the mountains training with the master himself. You can have a look at my old blog posts about my adventures in France, if you are interested: Here, here, here and here.
We are going to do very basic handbalancing work. This is not Capoeira/floreio style handstands, and even with my Capoeira students I emphesize the need to learn the art of Equilibre in its pure form, as a crosstraining medium. Afterwards, when the base is solid, implementation work can be done into whatever field you may practice. I am a strong believer in crosstraining, as you may or not have noticed.
My students spend 50% of their handbalancing time with pointed toes, straight lower backs and looking at the floor in an effort to reach optimal technique and control, and 50% of their time implementing such work into their Floreio work - Head out, more relaxed bodies, different use of the feet, etc. If you are a Yoga practitioner and would like to take your handbalancing to the next level, I advice you to do the same. We are going to take the same proven aproach here in our Floreio trainings.
Handstand Body Line Wall Drill
This drill is the most efficient use of your time at the start. Without too much explaining and detail, if you perform the drill correctly - you will be able to stay in Handstand, wrists VERY close to the wall (10 cm tops), if the line is not perfect, you wont be able to reach such a close position to the wall, and though, you get a self corrective practice.
Basicly, stand with your back to a wall/stall bar. Put one leg after the other behind you and climb the wall slowly while moving the hands closer and closer to the wall. Try to reach the closest position you can to the wall, while flattening your lower back, extending your shoulders completely and contracting butt, abs and inner thighs. This will be extremely difficult for the ones of you with closed shoulders. Solving that problem is a big issue we will discuss in the future.
Hold for X amount of sec. Climb down.
Rest and repeat for the desired number of sets.
Handstand Straighten Into Line Drill
This drill is a bit more advanced and should be used by practitioners with some free balancing handstand ability.
It will help you once again reach a better handstand line - slowly and while balancing on two hands.
Kick into a handstand against the wall, with a bit of bent knees.
Realign your upper body in preparation for the handstand, if done correctly, you will feel the feet pressing very light on the wall. (They are light? Lighter!)
From there, while holding tension in butt, abs and inner thighs, straighten into the most straight handstand you can achieve with your current body build, shoulder flexibility, etc... (it may not be very straight right now, but aspire to the best body position. Film yourself!)
Hold for time and come down. Repeat for the desired amount of sets.
The handstand line is a life time project. Try to go for the best line you can achieve TODAY. With time, and correct Floreio mobility work it will improve.
Role is a very simple looking fluid motion. Beware of those simple motions! They always contain movement quality, control, fluidity and other traits that are more difficult to duplicate than pure strength, flexibility, etc...
The Role starts at the squat. From there shift the weight towards one foot, place you hand beside that foot and open the opposite leg to the side, slide into a wide, low sweeping motion, putting most of your weight on your hands, and finish back in the squat on the other side. Before closing into the squat there is another 'open and close' of the outer leg - like in the start.
Watch the clip. 10 times. 20. Try to see the dynamics, movement quality, ingrain the motion in your mind, and practice. Alot.
This movement will be central in further Floreio development, as it allows to gather momentum into other movements, move from point A to B and more. Alsoit just has a beautiful sweeping dynamics to it.
Gatherings (this is a military term in Hebrew I use to describe various forces/troops comming together to one point on the map) are somewhat of a basic strength or strength endurance exercise with some lower back, shoulder and triceps components to it.
The Gatherings Beginner variations are:
1. From a squat, go into a frog stand, lower with control towards your head and come back for reps.
2. Exactly like number 1 only when you reach with the head to the floor, extand into headstand.
This will strengthen you and prepare you for the intermidiate variations. Practice it.
The Gatherings - Intermidiate Variations are:
1. Stage A - From a headstand, bend knees and take your heels towards you butt. Stage B - bring knees into your chest. Stage C - Bring feet to touch the floor. Reverse the order and repeat for reps.
2. The same like 1 only with straight legs the whole way. This is called Reverse Leg Lifts in Gymnastics circles. Very good antagonist work for high bridging - lower back gets a good stretch with each rep in a dynamic fashion similar to the counter stretch in Rotations Into High Bridge.
The Gatherings Advanced is:
From a headstand complete the downward phase of Gatherings-Intermidiate variation 2 and from there, using the momentum created by the lifting legs, extand into a handstand. Come back down to head stand and repeat for reps. Of course you will need good freestanding Handstand ability to use this excelent exercise. Another good reason to work on your Equilibre skills.

Is that a hard surface floor in your studio?
- Ido said...
JD, sure. Hard surface.
- Laney Peach Coyne said...
This is great, Ido.. A new focus for my training:) I have been scattered lately with what I want to focus on. This is inspiring!
- Ryan said...
I have a question about the floor surface actually. Do you think its better to train capoeira/floreio on a hard surface like wood floor, tile, concrete, etc or a softer surface like a padded floor, grass, or a rug. Or do you think it doesnt really matter?
- Ido Portal said...
Ryan, a hard surface for sure. If you go through the progression I provide, there wont be any problem.
- Ido Portal said...
what could make me more happier than seeing my friends here, with me?...
I hope Ramman and you are ripping some floreio and equilibre work over there at Greyish Portland. My love to you two.
Just another note of thanks from another part of the world. Following the tutorials closely and enjoying them all. Thanks for all the effort.
All this inspiration means I may have to convince my wife to let me go to Israel again!
Um Abraco
- Ido said...
Raul, brother!
How is sunny Fortaleza treating you? I hope you are not only inspired, but working hard along with us on some Floreio.
You are always welcome here to train, and a warm bed is waiting for you.
Unfortunately Fortaleza didn't work out for us (will fill you in with the details one day), so currently in Amsterdam doing some work.
Training as the body allows. Your ideas and teachings have really helped keep me going in whats been a very tricky year.
So, I did this workout and it was great . . . difficult by great. I think I am getting the hang of the Role (after a few very slow reps). I do have a question about the Gatherings. I can do the most advanced variation posted (pike to handstand push up) but the problem I am running into is going back down into the headstand. Using the momentum from the pike press I just pop right into the handstand but when I start going back down I get almost down (my head is about 1 inch from the floor) and I lose my balance and roll out of it or have to put my feet down. For this workout I got down correctly 2 times out of all of the sets and that was right at the beginning when I was fresh. When I roll out I immediately go back into a head stand and do another rep. Is it ok for me to do the reps like this until I get the hang of lowering myself back down, or should I isolate the lowering to a headstand and just work the regular reverse leg lifts?
Today a few people asked me questions at the gym about what I am doing and I gladly told them about Floreio and your site. Even noobs can spread the word!
- Laney Peach Coyne said...
Of course we are, Ido! We are following your floreio program starting next week (rest week right now). Thank you! When are you coming back over here??
- Ido said...
Nifty, just spend some time doing the concentric part only. When you reach a handstand, come back down to your feet and return to headstand. Repeat. It will improve with time, this is a common problem.
- Ido said...
Laney, I should be there soon. Leaving for the US again around Sept. This time I want to see a muscle up, ha?
- Laney Peach Coyne said...
Yes! And more!
Do you have any more workouts that works on the Equilibre skills other than this one? I don't mean the ones that have been shown and repeated din other workouts like the gathering variations and the handstand body line drill. Thanks

Fernandez hopes to help Motte strike out cancer
JUPITER, Fla. -- Jose Fernandez is no stranger to strikeouts.
The hard-throwing right-hander possesses an upper 90-mph fastball, and at the age of 21, he's already established himself as one of the dominant pitchers in the game.
JUPITER, Fla. -- Jose Fernandez is no stranger to strikeouts.
The hard-throwing right-hander possesses an upper 90-mph fastball, and at the age of 21, he's already established himself as one of the dominant pitchers in the game.
As a rookie last year, Fernandez set a Marlins rookie strikeout record with 187. As he embarks upon his sophomore season, the right-hander is teaming up with the Jason Motte Foundation to help strike out cancer.
Each of the 30 big league clubs is taking part in the cause, and Fernandez is representing Miami.
"I didn't think about it twice," the young ace said. "Anything I could do to help. This is huge. I'm really excited about it."
Motte, the veteran Cardinals reliever, created a website aimed at combating cancer.
The website 108stitches.com went live on March 17, with 108 Stitches showcasing the "Strike Out Cancer" tees in each team's colors. Each is promoted by a different player who agreed to join Motte in a partnership that will benefit multiple charities. Each participating player has chosen a charity that will benefit from the T-shirts sales, and for each shirt sold, $5 will go to the Jason Motte Foundation and $5 to a charity of that player's choice. A full list of recipient charities will be listed on the 108 Stitches website soon, along with a photo of each player rep in his team-colored shirt.
"At the end of the day, it's about reaching people," Motte said. "Baseball is great and everything, but there are other really important things going on out there that affect a lot of people. Wearing these T-shirts shows people that they're not alone. They're not sitting there doing chemo by themselves where no one cares. People do care, whether it's friends, family or baseball players. There are people who this has touched and this has affected. This is something we're trying to do to get the word out there and try to raise money to help."
On the site, fans can purchase Fernandez's "strike out tee," which features a vintage black shirt sporting a reverse letter K.
Fernandez, the reigning National League Rookie of the Year, will be the Marlins' Opening Day starter on Monday against the Rockies at Marlins Park.

Rupee ends little changed as dollar selling meets demand
The partially convertible rupee closed at 61.53 per dollar compared to 61.54 on Wednesday. The unit moved in a narrow range of 61.51 to 61.71 during the session.business Updated: Jan 16, 2014 17:31 IST
The rupee ended little changed on Thursday as dollar demand from importers was adequately met by dollar selling by foreign banks, likely on behalf of clients looking to invest in the domestic debt market.
The partially convertible rupee closed at 61.53 per dollar compared to 61.54 on Wednesday. The unit moved in a narrow range of 61.51 to 61.71 during the session.
Bonds continued to gain for a fifth straight session with foreign funds having bought more than $2 billion worth of bonds so far in 2014.
Broad strength in the dollar versus most other regional and major currencies prevented the rupee from making sharp gains while sustained selling from foreign banks limited any sharp fall, holding the pair in a tight range.
"Today it was mainly the petro demand being met by custodian bank dollar sales, there was nothing major otherwise. Tomorrow, too, I expect range trading between 61.45 to 61.75 to continue," said Hari Chandramgethen, head of foreign exchange trading at South Indian Bank.
Losses in the domestic share market also prevented the rupee from gaining.
Indian shares ended marginally lower retracing from their highest levels in five weeks, as mobile carriers such as
Idea Cellular slumped on possible high bidding prices at a spectrum auction next month.
The US dollar held firm having returned to levels seen before last week's soft payrolls data as faith in the US economic recovery was restored, while the Australian dollar slid to a 3.5-year low after a dismal local jobs report.
In the offshore non-deliverable forwards, the one-month contract was at 61.88 while the three-month was at 62.69.

Frank Reiff necesitaba un nuevo diseño de botón o icono y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 234 diseños de 26 diseñadores freelance.
publicspace.net is a Macintosh Indie Software Developer that's been around since 1996 and has published applications such as A Better Finder Rename, A Better Finder Attributes, MacBreakZ, and "The Big Mean Folder Machine", etc.
Macintosh users who are looking for GTD (Getting Things Done) and similar productivity software.
Mostly this will be content creation professionals, such as designers, photographers, web masters, etc but everyone is welcome.
I need a full size Macintosh application icon (512x512) that will double as the background for the application's assistant-style interface. This second function is the more important one.
The application itself is called "Vitamin-R" which is a colloquial name for the medicine used to control attention deficit disorder. One of its main features is to help users maintain their focus on a single task without getting sidetracked.
The current version uses an icon that was designed for another project but couldn't be used due to a last minute product name change.
The icon was intended only as a placeholder, but has now become part of the look of the interface. It is thus important that the new icon can be (pretty much) "plugged" into the existing design. A screenshot of the interface and a layered PSD to experiment with plugging your own icons into the UI are attached to the product brief.
The concept for the icon itself is to have some sort of magic pill that you can pop to suddenly be able to focus properly.
My initial thoughts are to have a single pill, gel capsule or a similar in toxic red, e.g.
but I'm open to anything that will work.
I'm looking forward to your ideas.

For the rougher, rockier terrain and when it gets real sloppy on the course, I'll race on these Reynolds 66s. For the fifty shades of mud we get here in the Pacific Northwest, they're setup with Challenge Limus in the front and Griffo in the rear.
Soil liquéfaction inducer
The Swirl Lip Generator on the 66s should induce soil liquefaction with the mud sliding right off the wheel. The deep v shape means short spokes and a very stiff wheel that goes exactly where I point it.

He took pictures of pin up art that he liked and kept them in the little space that was provided to each crewman, in his locker. These three photos were recently passed along to his grandson, John Chaykowsky, a 24 year old Environmental Graphic Designer and contributor to The Wayfinding Place, by John's uncle and cousin.
John wrote, "Its a running family joke that he took photos of pin-up art when so much more was going on in the world. He literally has dozens of photos like this... But not of his adventures at sea. He said he just really liked the way they were rendered."
"My grandfather, though a mechanic after the war, took the "Famous Artist Course" and I have all those books now. They are pretty interesting and helped shape a lot of my figure drawing."
By a tragic coincidence it was during our email exchange late last week that John got word that his grandfather had passed away.
"Maybe me sending you the photos was some weird sign... I am speechless.
His name was Joe Brozovich.
Please dedicate your post to him."

Care & Community in Kenya by Anna Hurst
I am so grateful to have been given the opportunity to see what Kenya had to offer me. We had so much fun, made lifelong friends and experienced a new way of life. Volunteering in Kenya is something I am now able to talk about on my personal statement application for university, as I believe it shows a strong level of commitment and passion for helping others, teamwork skills and enthusiasm for new and exciting opportunities!
I also documented our travels on camera, and am now in the process of making a film. My friends Abi, Alice, Jemma and I all hope to return to Kenya someday as we loved it so much.
My Arrival in Kenya
Arriving in Kenya, late at night on Saturday 20th of July, the nerves were settling in. Neither I nor my 3 friends had ever been this far away from home before on our own. We were comforted by the smiling faces of Kevin and Peter from Projects Abroad at Nairobi airport, who made us feel very at home and soon became our good friends.
When we arrived at the guest house, we slept for a few hours until morning before making our way to our houses; we were all too excited to go to bed! We chatted for a while to fellow newcomer Harriet who was staying in our room too, about what we were most looking forward to and what we were nervous about. It was very different having to sleep under the mosquito nets for the first time. Strangely, this was something we came to miss once we were at home again!
The journey to our houses with our guest families was really long – a good few hours' drive, but I loved being able to experience the Kenyan scenery for the first time. We got to drive past all the stalls on the side of the road, so different from the corner shops back in England! We stopped off for a toilet break at a garage overlooking the rift Valley, what a view! This was a great opportunity to take some pictures to show friends and family back home the beautiful scenery that Kenya had to offer.
Later that day we met Miriam, our host mum, who we eventually grew very close to and felt very looked after. Lynette, her house maid cooked us amazing food which we looked forward to every meal time. We especially enjoyed trying out the traditional Kenyan dishes, Chapatti and Ugali, so much so that we asked for it all the time!
The Care & Community Project
Throughout our two weeks, we helped the people of the local community at Sure 24 build a pit latrine. It was hard work every morning, but I really enjoyed working as a team with our fellow volunteers to get the job done. Working on a building site was something none of us had really experienced and it was a great work out each morning, carrying the rocks in the wheelbarrows and mixing the cement. On the job we had so much fun getting to know the community. Kenyan people are so friendly and welcoming, we all felt like we fitted in.
In the afternoons we visited the Sure 24 school, where we made friends with the children and played in the playground. We all brought along outdoor games such as frisbee and skipping ropes. My favorite game was playing duck-duck-goose, because all the children wanted to get involved, and had loads of fun.
On our last day, our friend Tracey wrote us all letters which I now keep in my souvenir box at home. Me and my friends put together all our stationery, reading books and notepads that we had brought from home, and went to give them as a parting gift to the headmaster of the school. We had our pictures taken with them, and they were ever so grateful. It felt amazing to be providing new gifts to a school.
Unfortunately, half way through the first week my friend Jemma and I fell very ill. One morning we were told we should visit the hospital to get checked out. We were both extremely nervous waiting in the waiting room, but the doctors were really friendly and made us feel very calm. I had to have a blood test and was treated for a stomach infection, and Jemma was also given anti-nausea medication. I was really sad that I missed out on an evening's entertainment of African dancing and a visit to the restaurant.
Throughout this experience I was lucky I had my friends to support me, and Carol and Kevin from Projects Abroad who came with us, and after being given an anti-nausea injection, and a long nights rest, I soon felt better in no time and returned to work.
Weekend Trips
The highlight of my Kenya experience was our weekend trip on safari. On Saturday 27th we had a boat safari trip on Lake Baringo where we got to see crocodiles right by our boat! The water was so blue, and the air was so warm. This was a great experience after a long hard week of working.
The next day was my favorite. We went to Nakuru Park on safari, and got to see plenty of animals in their natural habitat. We saw buffalo, antelope, giraffe, pelicans, a hippo, zebra and even a rhino! The highlight of my day was when our truck got stuck in the mud next to the waterfall, and we had to push it out! This was a pure comedy moment I will always remember.
Other days out we enjoyed was the visit to Thompson falls, however the journey there was a bit of a disaster! It was supposed to take us two hours however it took us four, due to one truck breaking down, and the other getting a flat tire! The day out itself was really fun though and we all took some really great pictures and videos.
We then went to the market shop afterwards, the place we had all been saving our money for. There were some great items available, such as wooden carvings, wall hangings, masks, key chains, necklaces, ornaments and more! I would have bought the whole shop if I could. I was really satisfied with my choice of gifts for my family and actually enjoyed getting the price down.
Saying Goodbye
On our last day, we presented the pit latrine to the community, and all said on camera what our favorite experience of Kenya had been, and what we were grateful for. Saying goodbye was very emotional. I'm sure there were a few tears. That night Miriam had bought us some ice cream as a dinner time gift which was such a treat, and we also gave her our presents we had bought back home, which included traditional English tea, mugs from the Botanical Gardens and English Toffees.
Overall, I had such a fun 2 weeks in Kenya, and shall miss everyone we met, especially our good friend Kevin, who made our experience a funny, welcoming and enjoyable one! Thank you Projects Abroad for an amazing opportunity, I hope to visit a new country with you again someday.

When it comes to regifting, there isn't much I don't know.
I'll prove it!
Regiftable.com launched for the first time in 2006 to open a dialog about holiday gifting. At first, we weren't sure what to expect, but a real dialog is exactly what went on! We've had several successful contests with thousands of regifting story submissions ranging from horrific to hilarious. During each contest, site visitors rated their favorite stories and three lucky regifters won some great prizes.
Like all good things, regifting story contests must come to an end. Thankfully, you can still enjoy reading all of the stories submitted in years' past. In fact, I highly recommend that you grab a cup of hot cocoa and settle in for a few hours of entertainment! But, if you're in a hurry, you can read the best and skip the rest by checking out these former contest winning entries.
As a young student I was constantly strapped for cash, but was pretty artistic. I had a huge crush on a girl and I saw her admiring a hand-made jacket at a fashion show, so I went to work and make a beautifully designed jacket by hand, very intricate and beautiful. I had never done anything like it before, so I assumed it was special only because I had made it, but held no other artistic value. After giving her the gift, we dated for a few months, then went our separate ways. Years later I found the very same jacket prominently displayed in an upscale gallery on Boston's Newberry street! I would have bought it back, but the price tag was in the thousands!!! When I asked about the "artist", the gallery had no idea, and wouldn't release the name of the owner. Maybe I went into the wrong field!
When I was 8, during a seaside visit, I spotted a gift for my darling Grandma, who loved television & hated to be disturbed during her favourite programmes. It was a wall plaque saying "Come In; Sit Down; Shut Up; It's On" I couldn't wait to give Gran the gift, bought with my holiday 'pocket money'. She said she loved it & the humour, so it had pride of place in the TV room.Imagine how I felt 2 years later, there was no plaque to be seen, so I asked where it was. She said that her friend had dropped in with her newly engaged daughter Helen, who saw the plaque & said it amused her, so grandmother took it down & gave it to her. I cried to my mother not believing my Gran would give away my special gift.Three years later, I found it in a local charity bazaar.I bought it & took it to Gran & told her that Helen obviously hadn't loved it that much; Gran sheepishly took it & put it back in it's original place on the wall.
I gave my neighbor a beautiful Waterford vase. While I got it at a tremendous discount, I had searched hard for the perfect gift at a price I could mange (I am unemployed). The next year, she gave it to someone I knew, who was also stretched financially and commented on how she was regifted something that she would never use. I felt punched twice.Later, I found that she regularly re gifted gifts I had given her daughters. I love the little girls, but they will no longer receive gifts from me as I cannot afford to subsidize the mother's gift giving.Re gifting is not clever or fun. It is hurtful. If you prefer not to receive gifts, decline them and ask that in lieu of a gift, a donation be made to your favorite charity.
It was mid-April when my boyfriend was cleaning out his pantry in his apartment to move to his new house. He looked at me and asked me if I like chocolate covered cherries. I responded that on occasion I do. He promptly handed me two boxes of chocolate covered cherries. It was rather a feat to maintain my composure as these were THE two boxes I had given him at Christmas. I had all sorts of questions running through my head that I did not hear anything else he said for the next ten minutes. On my drive home which was 3.5 hours away, I pondered that whole situation. At last I decided to take them to my office for everyone to share. Needless to say, those were the last boxes of chocolate covered cherries I ever bought for him.
Growing up, my doctor father got a lot of freebies from the drug companies- pens, calculators, even a plushie shaped like a pancreas. It took my brother years to figure out that my dad's random "gifts" were actually gifts he'd gotten from a drug company. One night, my dad brought home a stuffed cheetah for my brother with a collar on it. My brother's just starting to recognize letters and he says that its collar has a name on it. Without thinking, I read aloud- "Androgel", the testosterone gel for men! The name stuck and my brother continued to call the toy "Androgel" the week he played with it.
A good friend and neighbor (A) that I love but is always doing the one-up thing (try hard to ignore), is especially jealous if she feels I'm getting too close to another neighbor (B).This Christmas Neighbor B broke her arm and could only wear shaws due to cast. I remembered I had a nice shaw that was given to me a year or 2 ago that I never wore and actually could not remember who gave it to me (my fault).So I gave it to B and when she told me is was her favorite gift and even wore it to her family reunion, I admitted it was regifted. She just laughed and thanked me for getting it to a happy bearer!But, when she raved to A about the gift, neighbor A screamed "I know it's wonderful, I GAVE IT TO HER." Neighbor B, then thanked A for the gift, which A promptly called me and told me how grateful B was for the gift in which SHE had bought. I wasn't trying to hide it, but I didn't think she should have taken the credit. Would you tell if you had been the original g
A few years back my father-in-law gave my husband an opened four pack of underpants that only had three pairs in it. I was like, "Did he have an accident on the way over?"
While visiting my home a few years ago, my parents asked if we might like some Alaskan smoked salmon. I was ambivalent, but my partner said "sure." As the months went by, the salmon sat in our pantry. Our outdoor cat, Buddy, appeared one Saturday morning looking cute and hungry. Out came the salmon-it was a huge hit with the cat. About that time, my aunt called and asked how all was going; I told her that I was fine and the cat was even better due to his wonderful brunch. she asked, "Alaskan salmon?" I told her yes indeed-my parents had given it to us months earlier. She was appalled (and not too happy) because she had given them the salmon a bit earlier that year! I found out later that one of her best friends had given her the salmon as she had every year for Christmas. Oh, Buddy! Weren't you the lucky one??
Terry has always re-gifted since she became a part of our family many years ago. We all know it and now that she really is an integral member, no longer resent it but laugh about it. And we ignore the implications from her that she bought each gift specifically with the recipient in min,. One Christmas I received a beautiful hand painted set of four salad plates - along with the original gift tag that her friend had enclosed.Now that she is in her declining years we get gifts she has picked out at her church's thrift shop that she occasionally works at. I keep getting clothing for a person much smaller than I have been in years. This year I got a vest with mustard on it and a Mrs. Claus apron that, if I were a call girl, I might consider wearing. I did pass that on to my granddaughter - unwrapped and with full disclosure as to where it came from, at least one re-gift back. I still have the vest if anyone is interested.
This Christmas as I was short of funds I had three gifts that I re gifted. I had a indoor / outdoor timer that I received as a door prize at a conference, a Puma hunting knife that I bought from a friend for next to nothing and a handheld GPS unit that I bought from the same guy. All the recipients were very grateful to receive them.

Re: "Surround with" and version 2.1

Hi Shafik,
What version of ViEmu did you upgrade from? My guess is that you upgraded from 1.x, and you are accustomed to the old behavior of having ViEmu selection be equivalent to VS selection. In ViEmu 2.x, the visual mode selection is handled internally by ViEmu, and Visual Studio doesn't see a "selection", that's probably why "Surround with" doesn't seem to work.
You can either configure ViEmu to use the 1.x behavior (Tools|Options|ViEmu->"Use Visual Studio Selection for Visual Mode"), or you can keep the current behavior and use the "gS" command before one of these VS commands that requires the selection.
The advantage of the new visual mode is that it can more closely resemble vim's behavior for visual mode: the cursor can appear in the middle of the selection, block selections can be done vim-like even in the presence of word wrap, etc...
Let me know if the steps above are not enough to fix it.
Best regards,
Hi Jon,
I upgrade from 2.0 to 2.1 and I did try all of the options combinations, the thing is when I am doing "Surround with" (Ctrl+k and Ctrl+S) I get the regular pop of snippets but the delete/backspace and the arrow keys are not working.
so if I need to use the feature I need to disable the VIEmu.
Ah, ok, it's not that it doesn't work or it doesn't enter insert mode, but that the basic keybindings have been lost in the upgrade. It's rare, but this happens some times, depending on the VS start-up sequence. This will be properly fixed in a future release of ViEmu, as soon as I bring the new keypress interception techniques I have implemented for ViEmu/Word & Outlook.
The way to fix it is to restore keybindings and rescan with ViEmu's keyboard management tool. Here are detailed instructions:
The source of the problem is that probably ViEmu performed its initial scan & keybinding removal without all the keybindings properly in place, resulting in an incomplete keybindings table (will be fixed in a future release).
This is the way to restore all VS2005 keybindings:
1) Disable ViEmu with Ctrl-Shift-Alt-V (so that there will be no interference afterwards)
2) Go to Tools|Import and Export Settings
3) Select "Reset all settings" and click "Next >"
4) Select a file where to save the current settings, or just "No, just reset settings" if there's nothing really you want to keep just in case
5) Choose the default settings type to which to reset all settings (I use VC++, but it's up to you)
This will restore all settings in VS2005. Now, if you go to a text edit window (ViEmu should keep on disabled), arrows should work fine.
If this is the case, what you have to do now is instruct ViEmu to remove clashing keybindings and save them for automatic management. These are the steps to perform:
1) Go to Tools|Options|ViEmu->Keyboard. There should be a pretty long list on the right hand side list.
2) Click "Save and Remove" under the right hand side list (answer yes to the confirmation msgbox)
After this, you can go back to an edit window and press Ctrl-Shift-Alt-V. Everything should be fine now, and up/down should work in insert mode, both for cursor movement and for Intellisense autocompletion.
Please let me know if something doesn't match my description above, so that we can try to fix whatever the real problem is.
Best regards,
NGEDIT Software
Thanks for the detailed answer (it help me to understand the key binding in vs), but still when the ViEmu is on the Ctrl+K - Ctrl+S is poping the surround with dialog but the arrows change the selection text only and there is no backspace.
I am using the Ctrl+Alt+Shift+V for that and it's fine thanks, but FYI...
by the way really great tool,
Thank you Jon.
Hello Shafik,
I don't understand very well the misbehavior you are seeing. Can you describe it in more detail?
Here is my experience here (I checked "Use VS Selection for Visual Mode" for this to work better):
1) I select a statement (C#), using "v$".
2) I type Ctrl-K, Ctrl-S, a drop down list appears containing "#if", "#region", ... and a banner that says "Surround with". ViEmu has detected it and entered insert mode (although it's not reflected on the status line)
3) I can move up and down with the arrows, or type, to select the type of block. I then press enter and VS2005 enters the block
4) Now, the first field in the inserted "snipped" is selected, I can start typing to overwrite it or use arrows/backspace to edit it
5) Pressing TAB will go to the next field (if there is one), or ESC or ENTER will finish the mode
Let me know how it works in your system.
By the way I am not using any other add-on in visual studio, and I check this behaviour in other pc - the same results.
Until stage 3 all good.
1. If "Use visual studio selection for Visual mode" is checked the only keys that I can type is [a-z] and all other keys like delete/backspace and arrows are frozen (Esc close the popup)
2. If it's unchecked it the same but the arrows change the selection in the background (the snippet popup is on top) again key stroke [a-z] is writing to the popup but no delete or backspace.
this situations are the same when I am in insert mode or visual mode.
Ok, that last sentence is the key. It's a core keybindings problem, nothing related to Surround With.
Have you followed the steps in my second answer above to reset VS2005 keybindings? I'm almost sure it will fix it. I thought that you had done it but it didn't get fixed, but now I'm thinking you haven't done it or that some part has not been done as described.
Please let me know if that fixes it.
Best regarsd,
Yes I did and I even uninstall ViEmu reset setting and reinstall ViEmu and remove clashing keybindings,
and the same results...
My apologies! I will follow up by email and post back here when it's solved.

His lawyer, Mark O'Mara, said one main concern is money. He said Seminole County is the most dangerous place for Zimmerman to live, and the cost of round-the-clock security is draining the defense fund."We're preparing to file a motion to modify George's bond to allow him to move out of Seminole County," said O'Mara.
Maybe he's waiting for Lester to rule on his recusal motion. Hasn't O'Mara said the judicial rule on recusal prevent Lester from ruling on motions while it's pending?
The disqualification rule is written so that the judge can't rule once he's under a motion to disqualify. He ruled on the 12th, and the record has him receiving the motion to disqualify on the 13th. He can't be held to honor a situation he is not aware of, and he has no obligation to "fetch back" rulings before the clerk gets around to filing them.

I haven't participated in the 2010 Winter GeneaBlogger Games these past two days because I haven't been feeling well. I hope to get back on track tomorrow and get more medals. I did spend some more time today in the Norfolk, England parish registers and made some great discoveries which deserve their own blog post.

When he hit Victor Cruz for his second touchdown pass of the night, Eli Manning did more than give the Giants a 24-7 lead.
He took one more step toward becoming elite.
The touchdown was Manning's 199th, which tied him with Phil Simms for most in Giants history.
And if that doesn't make him an elite quarterback, it's hard to tell what would.

Legend of Mana had materials named after SD3 towns and statues of the SD3 guys in Geo. Those are pretty minor references.
Took a break from modding Phantasy Star 2 to actually play games. Bowser's Inside Story is very charming.
Yeah, it is. Local store had a copy of SSS though; might have to go back and get it.Reviews made Partners in Time sound considerably less interesting.Not sure why I went on a Mario kick lately, but it's paid off.
One complaint I heard about Partner's in Time was with the writing. Without having played it, I do wonder if there might've been translation issues. With regards to Legend of Mana -- in my own life, it's an interesting thing to notice, the way my perception of reality and time gets more fluid as I lose track of the personal effects and artifacts I'd hung my memories around (and vice versa).

Panthers lose to Senators in Horachek's debutby Sean Farrell
OTTAWA -- The Ottawa Senators are feeling a lot better about their fortunes of late, in stark contrast to the Florida Panthers.
Kyle Turris and Mika Zibanejad scored 19 seconds apart early in the first period, and Ottawa held on to beat Florida 3-2 on Saturday, spoiling the debut of Panthers interim coach Peter Horachek.
Clarke MacArthur scored on a 5-on-3 power play in the second period, and Robin Lehner made 26 saves in his third straight start for the Senators, who have won three in a row for the first time this season.
"We're starting to feel pretty good about ourselves," Senators coach Paul MacLean said. "I thought the way we played was pretty solid, and Robin Lehner gave us another good game. We also kept the shots under 30, which certainly gives our goalies a chance to play well."
Nick Bjugstad and Marcel Goc scored for Florida, which saw its winless streak reach eight games (0-4-4). Tim Thomas, who was activated from injured reserve, stopped 29 shots in his first action since Oct. 22.
MacArthur's goal during a two-man advantage put Ottawa ahead 3-1 at 5:52 of the second period and proved to be the game-winner. Goc scored at 10:08 of the third period to draw Florida within one for the second time.
Panthers general manager Dale Tallon fired coach Kevin Dineen on Friday in the wake of a 4-1 loss to the Boston Bruins at TD Garden on Thursday. Assistant coaches Gord Murphy and Craig Ramsay were also let go.
Horachek, who was promoted from San Antonio of the American Hockey League, was behind the bench for the first time along with new assistant coaches Brian Skrudland and John Madden, former Florida players.
Horachek wasn't pleased with his team's start but was happy with some of the effort that got the Panthers back into the game.
"You put yourself behind the eight-ball in the first couple of minutes of the game, you're down 2-0 on unforced errors, so we did it to ourselves," Horachek said. "Maybe the guys were a little bit nervous or something, I don't know, but that was kind of a tough situation to fight back. But I think there were moments of effort that were good. We just certainly can't put ourselves in that situation."
Defenseman Erik Gudbranson said the Panthers played a simplified game under the new coaching staff.
"We played a lot faster," Gudbranson said. "We put pressure on them. We made them feel uneasy and that's what we want to accomplish as a team."
The scoring came fast and furious in the early going with three goals in a little bit more than four minutes. It looked like Ottawa might run Florida out of the rink early before the Panthers scored within two minutes of falling behind 2-0.
Turris and Zibanejad took advantage of a pair of turnovers by Florida defensemen as Ottawa jumped out to the two-goal lead 2:04 after the opening faceoff.
Ryan intercepted a pass by Matt Gilroy inside the Florida blue line and drove in on Thomas, who stopped his shot. But Ryan recovered the puck in the right corner and passed to Turris, who scored his fourth goal on a shot from a sharp angle at 1:45.
That goal was still being announced when Zibanejad scored his fourth of the season 19 seconds later. Zibanejad cut off defenseman Dmitry Kulikov's pass from behind the net to new partner Gudbranson out front and put a rebound into the net off Gudbranson.
Thomas said he felt pretty good despite the rough start.
"At the beginning of the game there it started out a little scrambly and I felt a little out of sorts and I kind of wasn't awake for that first goal there," Thomas said. "I wasn't expecting a shot from that angle and I had to get back into kind of game type of thinking rather than practice, but I feel like I got better as the game went on."
So did the Panthers. Bjugstad bumped Senators defenseman Erik Karlsson to win a race to the puck in the corner, then drove to the front of the net and slipped a shot past Lehner at 4:04 for his second goal of the season.
"You've got to have a response and you've got to get back in the game," Horachek said. "If it stays 2-0 for a long period of time you're going to be tough, so getting a goal back like that, putting it close, that certainly makes a big difference and puts us in a frame of mind that you can continue to push."
Karlsson played a total of 4:16 over four shifts in the first period and sat on the bench for the final 10 minutes of the period.
"Oh, you guys noticed," Karlsson said. "Thanks for noticing. Hey, it's not a career without getting benched, ah? That's all I can say."
The 2012 Norris Trophy winner did team with Turris to set up MacArthur's power-play goal. Karlsson finished with 21:04 of ice time.
"Ah, apparently I played, right?" Karlsson said. "I mean, I must have done something right, so it is what it is and if you're not playing, well then, maybe that's what you need sometimes. I'm feeling pretty good, and the coach is the coach and I'm the player, and his words weigh heavier than mine."
Florida forward Jesse Winchester sat out the first game of his three-game suspension. Winchester was suspended by the NHL on Friday for an elbow to the head of Boston forward Chris Kelly, his former teammate with Ottawa, in the game Thursday.
Senators right wing Chris Neil wore a visor throughout the game Saturday. Neil had a couple of cuts around his right eye after he was struck in the face by the puck when he crossed into the path of a pass by Karlsson on Thursday.
