Did a lot more Camping this year but stayed closer to home.
Weather was good and bad but the fishing was worth it.
Several two at once.
Even kept one for dinner
The fog was the fun times
Even Baxter was nice and relaxed
Late October trip up north for the only visit to this long time favorite lake this year.
Love this place cause we can camp right by the water.
It rained the majority of the trip but tat never matters there
The fish are spectacular
And CHIRONOMIDS work great
All but one were released for another day
Not done with the open water yet, but I do see rivers in the future.

Ready's customized substation designs are engineered to meet our clients' challenges in load expansion and monitoring requirements for installations from 4.16 to 500 kV.
Substations are the cornerstone of electrical system expansions. Unless planned with forethought, changes to substations may result in down-time and significant costs. Site-specific designs are necessary to meet the needs of the physical environment as well as the power requirements of current and future loads. Older installations are subject to the challenges posed by aging equipment, evolving technology and new technical regulations.
Ready Engineering works with clients to develop tailored substation designs. From identifying and planning around client concerns to detailed engineering, construction, and on-site commissioning, Ready incorporates the latest technology and standards throughout the design process.
Ready provides a wide range of substation design solutions, from ground-up system and review planning to metering system design. Some examples of our recent experience include:

Although there have been no new developments on the Darrelle Revis trade front, the Buccaneers are still widely viewed as the team most likely to do a deal with the Jets. But the Bucs also want to address the cornerback position in the draft — whether they trade for Revis or not.
In fact, according to Stephen Holder of the Tampa Bay Times, it's a near certainty that the Bucs will draft a cornerback with their first pick, No. 13 overall.
If the Bucs are going to draft a cornerback, the prospects they'd likely have an eye on are Alabama's Dee Milliner, Washington's Desmond Trufant or Florida State's Xavier Rhodes. Of course, we've seen plenty of times when a draft pick that looked like a near certainty in March didn't come to pass in April, so it's way too early to pencil any of those cornerbacks into the Bucs' depth chart.
But it's not too early to say that the Bucs need to upgrade at cornerback. And they're likely to do so in the draft, regardless of whether or not they trade for Revis.

Restorative dentistry may be complex or minor depending on a patient's restorative needs. Restoration may involve all teeth or one aspect of a single tooth. The larger restorative needs usually fall under prosthodontics and are often very involved and require multiple disciplines of dentistry. The restorative aspect of a multi-discipline approach may involve fillings, crowns, bridges, implant supported restorations, removable dentures, complete dentures, or any combination thereof.
Most often, if a patient is compliant with routine cleanings and periodic exams the restorative needs are minimized. In other words, if all initial dental needs have been addressed and a patient is compliant regarding recall appointments, the restorative requirements over time are less and less costly. It has been our experience that the compliant "patient of record" has a minimal amount of indicated treatment, for example, fewer fillings, crowns, bridges, implant, periodontal, and endodontic treatment.
Simple Restorative Procedures:
Major Restorative Procedures:
Healthy teeth maintenance and practices are admittedly sometimes hard to develop and maintain. However, if you find yourself with tooth decay or gum disease, addressing the problems as soon as possible is most important when it comes to restoring the health of your teeth and gums.

Outback Bowl Tickets Guide and Tips for your visit
October 5, 2012 by bestvacations
Filed under Florida Vacations
The culmination of half a year's worth of sporting and musical events, the Outback Bowl is an annual college football face-off, taking place on New Year's Day in Tampa Bay, Florida. Hugely popular for both the game and the massed band half-time celebrations, this tradition is now in its 21st year.
This year's game
Standard tickets to the game this year cost $75, kick-off being 1pm on January 1st 2013, at Raymond James Stadium. Children under 3 can get in for free if they don't need a seat. However, the public seating allocation is limited and seat sizes are smaller than the cushioned member seats. All tickets sell fast, with the majority of the the prime seats allocated for club members, general members and school seating.
Membership guide
The general membership levels are coded as A, B and C, depending on how good the positions are and what privileges you get. For example, A membership costs $75 and allows you to buy 10 Outback Bowl tickets ($75 each) in the Green area, which denotes the seats in the corners of the stadium towards Gates A and D, B and C. The top level of this kind of package is C and for your $600 fee, you can get up to 60 seats in the Purple Area, further towards the club seating in the middle of the sidelines. All general members receive parking passes and club souvenirs.
Club membership is the top range of packages, with seats in the central band of both sidelines and a few extras besides. The basic club level (I) buys you 12 tickets in the Yellow Area – generally considered as the best seats in the house – 4 parking passes and VIP passes for 2 events in the Bowl social calendar leading up to the game. These include autumn events such as barbecues and a luncheon to kick off the college football season, as well as the gala evening at La Carte Pavillion into December. The club membership's most prestigious package (Level V) takes you up to a total of $25,000, for which you receive 100 tickets, 25 parking passes, 6 VIP events and a corporate tent allocation to cater for 100 people.
Tips for your trip
The schedule of events in the last week of December is packed full, so it may be worth arriving early to make the most of the opportunities. Team days out are organised to local attractions such as the Busch Gardens Theme Park, for which fans can buy tickets on the day. There's a huge beach party two days before kick-off at Clearwater Resort, involving marching band and cheerleader performances, as well as plenty of activities, including tug-of-war and live music that carries on into the evening. If you're making a week-long visit, it might be worth checking some of the other attractions Tampa Bay is famed for; the sharks and coral reef at Florida Aquarium, the Lowry Park Zoo or the planetarium at MOSI.
Accommodation-wise, there are several areas to choose from and it might be worth mentioning the Outback Bowl to see if there are any discounts. Stay near Clearwater on the Gulf Beaches, closer to the stadium in Westshore, or opt for downtown Tampa and Ybor city for the central location and nightlife. Whether you're here for the musical festivities, buzzing events line-up or just the game itself, the Outback Bowl is one of the most celebrated national events in America and should certainly promise a memorable time.
Shannen Doherty is a sports journalist and blogger who also writes for several events websites. Attending both college and professional football games throughout the year, getting Outback Bowl tickets is still one of her highlights.

Gently sloping sandy bottoms allow a new supply of treasures from the deep to become washed ashore with each new tide change. Sanddollars, whelks, tulips, kings crowns, horse and fighting conch, scotch bonnets, and the grand prize, the junonia are to name but a few. Even non-shellers can't helped but be amazed by the diversity and beauty to be found along the waters edge.

by Jeff Reynolds
I'm excited to have Donna Fletcher Crow back with Sleuths and Suspects. We'll be giving away a copy of her latest Monastery Murder (e-book) -- check to see what the rules are below.
This is the third time Donna has been here. Heidi Glick interviewed her about three years ago when the first Monastery Murder, A Very Private Grave, was released. Last year, I interviewed her about the third book, An Unholy Communion. If you want to recall those interviews, here are the links:
Jeff Reynolds: Welcome back to Sleuths and Suspects, Donna. Let me start by asking you what's new with you both in the literary world and in the literal one (other than the most recent Monastery Murder) since you last visited us in April, 2013?
Donna Crow: Thank you, Jeff. I'm delighted to be back. I always love visiting with readers. Top of the list in the "What's new?" category has to be two new grandchildren. Our daughter Elizabeth in Calgary had Lucy Alexandra last September and our daughter-in-law Mindy here in Boise gave birth to Asher Hudson in March. That brings the grand total to 13 grandchildren.
In my writing life my 44th book, A Jane Austen Encounter, Book 3 in my Elizabeth and Richard literary suspense series came out last autumn.
JR: The Monastery Murders are towards the top of my list of my all-time favorite series, and Father Anthony is my favorite fictitious character (I could make a joke that he took over from fellow Brit James Bond, but Bond was displaced when I was still in High School -- by Hercule Poirot as well as others). Would you like to tell us about the latest addition to the series?
DC: What wonderful company for Father Antony! And I'm sure he's very honoured. But I'm afraid Antony needs all the support you can give him this time because he really has his hands full in A Newly Crimsoned Reliquary. Felicity is off to do a spot of translating for a community of nuns in Oxford and in spite of Antony's warning her not to get into trouble we all know her proclivity for running headlong into danger. Then he learns that he must rush to the bedside of his Uncle Edward who raised Antony and his sister. All that just a few days before he is to lead a seminar of students in Oxford. Then he finds out that Felicity has forged an uneasy friendship with his estranged sister Gwena and expects him to make peace in the family. Then one of his students is killed in a ghastly accident. Or was it an accident?
JR: In your previous interview you referred to this book as A Muffled Tolling. What led to the renaming of the book?
DC: That's right, Jeff. A Muffled Tolling was my working title for this book because English change-ringing and the tradition of muffling, or more specifically half-muffling, bells for funerals and commemorations of the dead—something that has always fascinated me—is such an important part of this story. This seemed particularly appropriate because the book is set at the time of All Souls' and my daughter had told me about her experience of muffling bells at Oxford for the commemoration.
My editor, however, didn't feel it sounded sufficiently mysterious. We worked very hard on this title, e-mailing long lists of possibilities (some of them quite dreadful) back and forth until the word "crimsoned" jumped out at me from an Easter hymn. Reliquaries are an important part of the plot as well, so bells were abandoned for the title. "Newly" was my editor's contribution. This was all quite a process, but I'm pleased with the results in the end.
JR: Hope you don't mind if I regress to your previous installment, An Unholy Communion. That story had a very strong spiritual warfare theme. What inspired that focus, and how does that focus relate to us in the U.S. in 2014?
DC: One of the reasons I write murder mysteries is because they so clearly illustrate the clash between good and evil in our world and the ultimate triumph of good over evil. Certainly that struggle is presented more concretely in An Unholy Communion because my characters are faced with actual satanic worship. This was a very hard book to write because I had to research the occult and learned things I'd really rather not know about. I chose the theme, though, because I wanted to show the reality of evil in our world. None of the demonic manifestations in my plot are made up. They are all based on experiences recorded by priests working in Deliverance ministry.
JR: An interesting thing about spiritual warfare is that it often manifests in the physical realm, and A Newly Crimsoned Reliquary gives some illustrations of it, dealing with persecution believers endure both from unbelievers and from those who claim the name of Christ. Do you see persecution of Christians as a threat in our society? If so, how can we prepare for it?
DC: When I was a child demonic practices like those in An Unholy Communion were something missionaries told about when they returned from foreign fields. Certainly nothing that would happen here. And the persecution of Christians happened in Roman times and behind the Iron Curtain. I am constantly amazed at how close to home all of that has come just in my lifetime. I think the only possible defense is a strong prayer life and a supportive community of believers.
JR: The highlight in this novel (I could say the highlight in the series, though the youth pilgrimage in An Unholy Communion rivals that) is the debate between an atheist and Father Anthony. So let me ask my usual multi-part question: First, should apologetics be a part of our lives as a believer? Second, is telling stories more effective than dealing with, for example, the classic arguments of God's existence which Father Anthony considered using?
DC: You never do ask easy questions do you, Jeff? That debate was nothing I had ever planned to write. I usually try to make my arguments less combatively, but debating is such a hallowed Oxford tradition (my model for the evening was actually the Oxford Union, but I didn't call it that) that the scene just fell into place.
I certainly believe we need to know what we believe and why we believe it. I believe theology is very important. The question is how to present it best to a world that really doesn't want to listen. For that, look to the Scriptures: Jesus told parables. The Bible itself is a narrative—the story of God's redemptive acts among His people.
JR: What's next, both in the Monastery Mysteries and in your other fictious endeavors?
DC: Last week I sent The Flame Ignites, an Elizabeth and Richard prequel to my publisher. This goes back to 1984 and tells how Elizabeth and Richard first met. All the books in that series have literary figures in the background and for this book it's the beloved American novelist Elswyth Thane and Rudyard Kipling.
Later today I will start the next Monastery Murder, which I'm calling An All-Consuming Fire. Antony has been asked to narrate a BBC documentary on the English Mystics Richard Rolle, Walter Hilton and the author of The Cloud of Unknowing. Felicity is determined to stay quietly behind in the Community of the Transfiguration because her mother (remember the prickly Cynthia from A Darkly Hidden Truth?) is coming over to spend Christmas with her and help her prepare for their Epiphany wedding. I am wondering just how well that will work out.
JR: Thank you for your time, Donna. To refresh everybody's memory, how can they keep up with your latest activities?
DC: Thank you, Jeff. It's always a delight to visit with you and I love the opportunity to get acquainted with your readers.
To read more about all of my books and see pictures from my garden and research trips, including my bell-ringing lesson with the Oxford University Society of Change Ringers, go to: http://www.donnafletchercrow.com/ and I would love to have you follow me on Facebook at: http://ning.it/OHi0MY
Jeff to reader: At this point, it's time for a giveaway of an e-book version of A Newly Crimsoned Reliquary. Here are the rules:
- Leave a comment. That easy enough?
- Include your e-mail address so we can notify you. You can write it out if you wish, like AuntDotKahm(at)Ant(dot)com.
- Finally, what do you think is the best way to prepare for persecution/spiritual warfare/defending the faith? Or do you think these issues are better left to theologians and ministers?

And sometimes, you realise that you are a long way from a lot of the people you love and you're not going to see them that afternoon on the school run, and you can't just magically make your son feel better about being uprooted from his friends, or stop him winding his sister up because that's how he best expresses his displeasure with life.
And sometimes, you can't stop the dog licking the toads that have chosen your garden as toad-sex central, so that he is sick. Alot. Turns out toads can release toxins and shag at the same time. Nice one!
Sometimes you just need to bake cookies instead. (And eat a few of them.) 'Talking' (texting/messaging/emailing) to some of those good friends helps too (you know who you are :-))
But on the cookie side of things, I'd recommend these ones. Just saying.

I found these cute paper doily hearts in the cake decorating area in Wal-Mart. Everything else I already had on hand. Ignore that pink ribbon, I decided not to use it.
Fold all the hearts in half to make them more dimensional. You'll be putting 2 hearts together, back to back, and threading them on together.
Cut a length of fishing line. Thread the fishing line through a hole towards the top of the heart and one towards the bottom. Tie a knot or two at the bottom of the heart to hold it in place. I didn't use any adhesive, just the knots to hold them.
Take 6 pieces of fishing line. Thread 3 double hearts onto each piece of fishing line. I would have done more, but the doilies come in packs of 12 and I only bought 1 package of each color.
Tie them all on the hoop, evenly spaced. Then cut off 6-8″ lengths of tulle and tie around the hoop. I tied on 8 pieces between each section of hanging hearts. Oh, and use the tulle to make a loop to hang the chandelier from.
Ta-Da! Isn't she lovely?
And so Valentinesy!
Here's the hoop part finished. I should have spray painted it white.
And some more pictures.
I think I like the pink one's best.
It's hanging in the dining area from a real chandelier.
I tied a bead to the bottom of each strand of fishing line for weight. I'm happy with how it turned out .

Basically we need people who can code. Fix bugs and implement new functions.
First and foremost as zonk said Code!
Hi user!
You are talking of the Propellerheads/Steinberg protocol right?netmansky wrote: ↑Mon Jul 10, 2017 8:07 pmDo you plan to implement rewireble support in LMMS not as a VST but native plugin that will work in master/slave mod? I found an old topic here, but found no answer. LMMS instrument set is rich, but it doesn't support audio record and clips. Sometime need to link two DAWs (for example reaper or ardour with LMMS) but we have no plugin that allow synchronize em. It'll be great if happenes!
This is going to be implemented: https://github.com/LMMS/lmms/issues/1680netmansky wrote: ↑Mon Jul 10, 2017 8:07 pmMy second question related to the implementation FX-preset manager.

LADSPA or LMMS plugins are very good but twist level handles every time project by project is very agonizing... And VSTfx often crushs LMMS and don't save presets... Coluldn't you to make anything to fix this trouble?
It is missing in LetsMakeMusicS for me personaly.
Maybe, but it's a matter of time. It's on the todo list for the Sample Track so it will eventually be implemented for the sampler (Audio File Processor) too. There are more pressing issues to deal with currently.

The creation of a global award for engineering excellence has been long discussed but today Britain's Coalition government has finally helped create a £1m prize that it hopes will become as respected and coveted as a Nobel Prize for physics, literature or peace.
Individuals or small teams around the world tackling everything from 'mega' city urban infrastructure, through to the delivery of renewable energy into homes and tackling climate change are set to be recognised by the Queen Elizabeth Prize for Engineering.
David Cameron, the Prime Minister, said today at London's Science Museum, that the "consequence" of failing to recognise the contribution of engineers was that too few young people, particularly in the UK, considered it an attractive career option.
"This is the country that gave the world the industrial revolution. Our engineering changed the world. And it's not just part of our past. We are very good at it today," he said, pointing to British engineering companies that had led on landmark schemes around the world, from the Sydney Opera House to London's own Olympics and Crossrail underground rail projects.
"[Crossrail] is as dramatic as anything done by their Victorian predecessors," said Mr Cameron.
Nick Clegg, the deputy prime minister and Liberal Party leader, added: "What is so significant is that it challenges us to rethink our self-perception as a country. There's been this hidden assumption that we are a country of accountants and lawyers. We must stop talking ourselves down. We are a nation of great engineers."
Mr Clegg cited as examples technology being developed in Bristol that draws inspiration from nature to develop materials that mend themselves and can be be applied to aircraft and Cambridge-based microchip specialist ARM's dominance in the mobile handset market.
The £1m peer-reviewed Queen Elizabeth Prize for Engineering will be awarded by an independent trust every two years.
The trust will appoint an international judging panel and nominations will open in February. Anji Hunter, Tony Blair's former political adviser, has been appointed director of the prize, while Lord Browne, the former BP chief executive and president of the Royal Academy of Engineering (RAE), is chairman of the trustees.
The prize has been funded by 11 British and Indian companies including BP and Tata Steel. One notable omission is the UK's Rolls-Royce, one of the UK's biggest employers of engineers, which has declined invitations to help on this award.
Eleanor Stride, a former RAE fellow and academic at Oxford University, who is exploring the use of microbubbles to enhance ultrasound imaging and therapy, said there had been a strong increase in applications to study science in the last five years and that there was a new generation of British scientists and engineers emerging were as talented as their German, Indian and Chinese counterparts.
Paul Westbury, chief executive of Buro Happold, the project design engineers, said that British engineers were technically as able as their international peers and were typically more "creative".
Shankar Narayanan, head of Tata Consultancy Services in the UK and Ireland, said the award would resonate with engineers in the Uk and India.
Mike Calviou, head of asset management at National Grid, said British industry had a pressing need for more young engineers because the core workforce were now their late 40s and 50s.
He said there were "exciting" projects involving offshore wind and nuclear energy as well as modernising the UK's entire electricity infrastructure, which is over 50 years old.
Nobel Prizes for achievements in physics, chemistry, physiology or medicine, literature and for peace have been awarded by the Nobel Foundation in Stockholm, Sweden, since 1901. Economics was added in 1968.

DELAWARE – Delaware Governor Jack Markell has issued a state of emergency effective Friday, Jan. 22 at 5 p.m. along with a "level 1 driving warning" effective Saturday, Jan. 23 beginning at 12 a.m.
A severe winter storm is expected to generate significant snowfall in New Castle and Kent Counties, as well as coastal flooding and strong sustained winds in Sussex County.
The State of Emergency declaration allows the Governor to deploy the Delaware National Guard, DelDOT, first responders and other agencies to open or close roadways and take other actions to protect public safety and property during the storm event.
At the Governor's request, Delaware National Guard and DelDOT began pre-positioning their resources yesterday in anticipation of this weekend's storm to assist local first responders with stranded motorists, flooding, and other emergencies that may require their attention. They will remain in position to assist Delawareans throughout the weekend.
According to state law, a "level 1 driving warning" means that any person operating a motor vehicle on Delaware roadways must exercise extra caution. All nonessential employees, public and private, are encouraged not to operate a motor vehicle unless there is a significant safety, health or business reason to do so.
If the predicted forecast comes to fruition, state officials say the "level 1 driving warning" is likely to be upgraded to a "level 2 driving restriction" as roadway condition deteriorate Saturday.
The Governor continues to monitor the forecast regularly and will remain in frequent contact with emergency management and transportation officials over the course of the storm.
According to state law, under a "level 2 driving restriction," no person may operate a motor vehicle on Delaware roadways, except for persons designated as "essential personnel" or who have received a waiver from the Delaware Emergency Management Agency.
The following persons are specifically designated as "essential personnel" under Delaware law:
- Operators of snow removal equipment (public and private);
- Persons providing public utility services;
- Persons providing healthcare services; and
- Persons providing food and fuel deliveries.
The National Weather Service has declared a Blizzard Warning for New Castle County while Kent and Sussex Counties are under a Winter Storm Watch.
Residents are encouraged to avoid travelling area roads Friday night and Saturday, and Delaware residents in flood-prone areas in Kent and Sussex should seriously consider relocating during this time.
"With authorities predicting snowfall amounts of 12-18 inches, it is important that all Delawareans take the necessary precautions to protect themselves and their loved ones", said Governor Markell.
"Conditions are predicted to rapidly deteriorate during the overnight hours and through tomorrow, which will create hazardous driving conditions and the threat of flooding in low-lying coastal areas. That's why I'm urging Delawareans to find a safe place to be this weekend and to arrive there this evening, and why I'm asked all non-essential personnel to avoid travelling our roadways after the snow begins so that DelDOT and emergency crews can clear the roads and keep our citizens safe."
Because of the amount of snow expected and duration of the snowfall, many roads will be snow-covered and could be impassable throughout the day tomorrow. State officials say DelDOT has been working hard to prepare the roads for snow and to prepare its crews for a weekend of plowing.
DelDOT crews started applying brine solution to Delaware roadways on Wednesday, and have since completed those operations. All equipment used in snow removal operations have been checked and rechecked from the snow plows to the windshield wipers. Plow trucks are being loaded with salt, and all normal snow removal preparations are underway.
DelDOT has Equipment Operators for 330 snow plows currently at work and on standby ready to act as the snowfall requires this evening and Saturday.
Code Purple locations will open today in all three counties for individuals who are homeless and in need of shelter during the storm.
To be connected to Code Purple resources, call Delaware 2-1-1, search for "Code Purple" on the Delaware 2-1-1 mobile app or on its website at www.delaware211.org and click on the Code Purple button.

If the foo attribute is present but its specified property is true, it is not an error either since the XML processor is not required to pass the "specified" information to the application. > We do know from the WG that they believed the existing tests over-reached > and tested behavior that was not always required. However, they didn't > state the conditions under which the behavior was required. Even if the test suite has a way to determine if the underlying XML processor is validating or not, generating an error on the DOM implementation may be inappropriate if the default attribute is not there since it can be a problem with the XML processor. Now, if we have a way to ensure that the XML processor did the right thing underneath, then it is certainly an error. One solution would be to say in the documentation that the DOM test suite assumes that the XML processor is XML 1.0 conformant (and points them to the XML test suite). Therefore, not having the foo attribute would be an error. > If the behavior was never required, then the tests should be deprecated. The behavior was never required by the XML specification at the first place. PhilippeReceived on Monday, 11 March 2002 17:05:06 UTC

Toroidal Applications
A toroidal transformer can be used in any electronic application, to step down or step up a voltage or simply isolate electronic equipment from a voltage source. Amgis' engineers help design products for many industries; in these different industries, our customers work on different applications that require different types of transformers. For this reason, it is extremely important to specify the type of application when submitting a request for quote.
Different types of applications require different materials and some require specific industry workmanship standards.The application can have significant implications in determining the most suitable and feasible design. Specifying the type of application will help us determine what we should design for; for example, knowing the application will determine whether you need low noise interference, a reduced magnetic field, high regulation, and other important requirements.
Some common applications that toroidal transformers are used in:

- Medical Isolation Equipment
- Professional Audio and Audio Visual equipment
- Domestic Hi-Fi Audio and Audio Visual equipment
- Power Distribution equipment
- Telecommunication systems
- Automotive electronics
- Industrial Control Equipment
- LED Residential/Commercial Lighting

OneRepublic have teased details of their new single.
The band will release 'Love Runs Out' - a track that does not feature on their latest album Native - as the follow-up to chart-topping single 'Counting Stars'.
Speaking to Capital FM, frontman Ryan Tedder said: "We have a new single that's not even on the album that's about to drop. I can't quote the date.
"The very short back story on the song was when we were working on Native I originally thought this was going to be the first single and it's called 'Love Runs Out' and I wanted it to be the first single, a few of us in the band did, but I could not finish the chorus. And you can't have a song without a chorus."
He said that although it took him "about a year" to finish, he finally completed the song while in Paris.
"I like it as much as 'Counting Stars'. It remains to be seen if the world feels the same way. It's definitely the coolest thing we've done," Tedder added.
Watch the music video for OneRepublic's 'Counting Stars' below:

I'm sorry, but no. This is a crowd-funded project. We do not have inventory on hand to ship out immediately after payments are made.
As stated in the info email that was sent out before the invoices, as well as the info post on the homepage, "The books will be shipped out to everyone who has signed approximately 7 to 8 weeks after all payments have been collected."
This is because the "printing of the books will start only after the printer has received the cleared payment" and "the printing itself is going to take 5 to 6 weeks."

Proverbs 2:7
He stores up sound wisdom for the upright; He is a shield to those who walk in integrity.
Any soldier engaged in a battle is aware that his shield is the most important weapon of defense. Regardless of the size of his sword or army, a soldier without a shield is the prime target for his enemy. A warrior would no sooner lay down his shield than he would his sword. The word of God often reminds us of the importance to this truth. I find an overwhelming peace in knowing that He who has created the heavens is also my shield. At the same time, it gives me great unrest to witness so many children of God willingly laying down their shields in the midst of an ever-increasing spiritual battle.
Proverbs proclaims that God is a shield to those who walk in integrity; Ephesians 6:16 considers our faith itself as a shield against the "fiery missiles" Satan throws our way. Nonetheless, Christians are continually trading in their integrity for pleasure and their faith for selfish gain. In effect, they exchange their shields for temporary and earthly treasures. As the Apostle Paul so eloquently puts it in Romans 1:22, 23, "Professing to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for an image in the form of corruptible man and of birds and four-footed animals and crawling creatures."
It is becoming increasingly apparent that our enemy often knows us better than we do ourselves. He is extremely aware of the fact that God is a shield to the righteous and that no weapon formed against that person will prevail (Isaiah 54:17). It is with this knowledge that the father of lies so persistently insists that we are not at war. Those who accept his deception willingly lay down their shields, their righteousness, and their God's protection. For them, the battle might as well be over.
I speak with every sense of urgency when I say, "Pick up your shields!" We must sound a battle cry for the army of God. Do not be deceived any longer by the lies of our enemy. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places (Ephesians 6:12). It is for this reason that we must pursue righteousness and God. Proverbs 2 promises that those who walk in integrity will not only have God as their shield, but as their provider. He will guard our paths, preserve our ways, watch over us, deliver us from evil, and lead us so that we may walk in the way of good men.
I challenge you not to commit your life to integrity but your days… each and every one of them. You must get up in the morning and dedicate the day to the Lord. You must go to bed with your integrity and wake with it in the morning. He who is without integrity is like the soldier without his shield in the midst of a battle.

A clean windshield isn't just about looking good on the road. It's also about driving safety, especially as spring rainstorms, pollen dust, and other visibility hazards reach a seasonal high. Keep your car looking great and your passengers safe with these tips for keeping your windshield clean.
Keeping a Car Windshield Clean
To properly clean your windshield, pick a day that's not too hot or humid. This will give you plenty of time to work without soap stains or water spots drying on the glass. Choose a gentle cleaner and a microfiber towel. Carefully clean the entire window, using small, circular motions on tough stains and sweeping, back-and-forth motions to remove any lingering streaks. To stop the spread of dirt, get a fresh microfiber towel for cleaning the back windshield, windows, and car mirrors.
Cleaning Stains off a Car Windshield
Dealing with bird droppings instead of dirt? The key to keeping contaminants off your windshield is to attack the problem ASAP. For stubborn stains like bug splatter, bird droppings, or tree sap, pack an emergency cleaning kit to remove the stain immediately. Many car cleansers will remove organic reside, but Coke works in a pinch. Just make sure not to get it on your finish; Coke contains corrosive elements that will damage your car's paint.
Watch Your Wipers
Streaky windshield wipers are one of the leading causes of low visibility when driving. Auto experts recommend changing your wiper blades every six months for optimal safety. To keep your wiper blades in top form, gently wipe them down with a soft cloth every few weeks. Not only will you wash away any contaminates clinging to the rubber, you may also extend the life of your windshield wipers.
Is your car ready for it's springtime detail? Leave it to the professionals! When you book an auto wash and wax at Towne Lake's Carwash and Detail, we'll have your car looking like new in no time.

25g (0.055 lbs) Natural Dark Brown Yak Down Top
Yak fibre is rich in myristic acid, allowing it to repel water and produce a fibre 10-40% warmer than Merino! Soft as cashmere, it is an opulent fibre for skilled spinners due to the short staple length (~25-50mm). 16-20 microns thick.

Barclay Prime's Filet Mignon a Magnum Opus of the Luxury Steakhouse
By Matt Goldstein
Over the past year we've dined at many upscale steakhouses around the country and Philadelphia including Union Trust, S&W Steakhouse at the Wynn in Vegas, Smith & Wollensky's, the Palm twice, Don Shula's twice, Capital Grille twice, Morton's, Ruth Chris and so on. We've had our share of filet mignon by the so called best and some of them fail to even prepare the steak correctly, let alone not be completely obnoxious when asking for $50 for the filet. The waiter at the S&W Steakhouse claimed they were the best steaks in the country. WOW! It's difficult to claim something is the best in any given city but self proclaiming the best in country is outrageous, especially when subpar to everyday chains. However, the Barclay Prime 12 Ounce Filet Mignon sets a standard that the industry simply can't touch. When we ordered the filet medium rare at Smith & Wollensky and the S&W Steakhouse, not only did the filet not come out medium rare, it came out more cooked than medium. Still a good steak I guess but when you drop $50 for a piece of meat, one should expect it to be correct.
When we set our eyes on the 12 ounce filet at Stephen Starr's Barclay Prime in the historic Rittenhouse section of Philadelphia, we could almost tell it was the perfect steak. Perhaps the Balvenie overtly flowing allowed our optimism to takeover, or perhaps the pan seared outside of the filet was one of the most beautiful steaks we have ever seen. When we cut into this massive filet mignon, the perfect medium rare inside was a very wide pink, almost to the edge, leaving a gray and dark crust. This was medium rare at its finest. Not only did it look perfect, when we tasted the filet, the center of the was cut was cool to the touch. A real mans steak. Perfectly cooked just enough to be legal, but not done to where any of the flavor is lost. None of the restaurants listed above can even touch this style. Barclay Prime is crushing the upscale steakhouse competition period. The sliders alone deserve their own article. If we were to rank the steakhouses it would be as follows:
1. Barclay Prime
2. Union Trust
3. The Palm
4. Capital Grill
5. Morton's
6. S&W Steakhouse
7. Shula's
8. Smith & Wollensky
9. Ruth Chris

I don't typically set New Year's resolutions, but I had been thinking of getting a new pair of commuter kicks for quite some time. I have been rocking the same Shimano shoes for about 7 years and they have treated me well. About two years ago I stopped tying them because I wore the padding off the back of the heels and I could just slip them on without having to lace them up.
Years of commuting have certainly taken a toll on the shoes, but they still look pretty decent.
Still, they were not the most stylish shoes to begin with. My desire for some new shoes was met with a random email from a company I had not heard of before - DZR. Their goal appears to be to make shoes that are functional and fashionable. They gave me the pick of their line and I went with these - the Minna.
Black goes with just about anything and doesn't look dirty even when it is, right? Then again, based upon my sock choice I guess me worrying about style is a tad ironic.
It also seems that they hired someone who studied package design.
After I have had some time to put the shoes through some ride time I'll have an update. Thanks to the fine folks from DZR for the opportunity.

There is an angry lady who lives on the way back from China Moon. She seems to have the quintessential "attitude problem", if you can't my meaning. She seems to automatically hate people who walk on her sidewalk, with little reason.
My first run in with this wonderful harbinger of ill will was on the way to China Moon. I was with my brother, Bryce, Tony Rolfes, Heather, Chris, and the three girls. The old lady's house is next to a crick of the saddest execution. Lining her side of the guard rail is a rock bed and a few flowers. Bryce, Brigid, and I had stopped to watch the sad little stream. The lady thought that Brigid was standing on one of her flowers and began to yell at the three year old child. So, I pulled Brigid up onto the sidewalk and apologized.
The lady kept yelling. She started to say, "If her parents had taught her any manners…" Then Heather starts yelling, and Chris starts yelling. Brigid gets upset and asks me to hold her. The lady, faced with a sudden onslaught of parental instinct, retracted her statement. She now claimed that she had been yelling at Bryce.
Heather yelled something at the lady. The lady yelled back, "Why don't you come here and say that?" My heart dropped. That's the last thing you say to Heather. Luckily no blood was shed and no further angry words were spilt. We walked to Chinese and walked back another route.
Well, you might think what I did. I thought, "Maybe she was having a bad day and maybe the flowers are all she has because she's barren and angry at God." I had no way to validate this belief, though, until Brenna, my cousin, came to Madison.
We had gone to China Moon sans accident. As we were leaving, Brenna grabbed me a cookie. It had coconut in it. Thanks, but no thanks, I don't like coconut. So, when we reached aforementioned crick, I tossed the cookie. The antagonizing old lady happened to be sitting watch for said aquatic mediocrity.
She began to yell at me for tossing trash into it. It was just a cookie. Cookies dissolve, if correctly baked. Brenna came to my rescue and began to verbally spar with her. The best about this was that we just kept walking the whole time. We didn't stop and confront her. She was just an obstacle on the way. I didn't say a word to her, being confused by her constant hateful behavior and her apparent inability to be amiable.
It was from that day on that I've walked by that house every chance I get. Why, you ask? I want to confront this lady. I want to shatter her and see her core. I want to know why she's always player hating. I have long had time to fantasize about such a meeting of minds. I would imagine it to go something like this.
I (AN) would be walking back from China Moon, probably alone, and said Mistress of Miff (MM) would be out of doors.
MM: You college students. Drunks and amorals! All of you!
AN: (just stares at her through sunglasses)
MM: Get away from my house! I don't want to have to call the cops.
AN: (removes sunglasses) Your flowers are all dying, Madam, for flowers require love which you seem to have not.
MM: What?
AN: Need I repeat my biddings?
MM: (taken aback) You are drunk, aren't you?
AN: Nay, Madam. Presently neither drink nor smoke am I affected by.
MM: Well… only a drunk would say that. Get off my sidewalk.
AN: Thou has words red in anger. Pray tell, why for such a predisposition?
MM: That is none of your business. And quit talking like that!
AN: Speaking such belies a mistrust of such babble. Or is it an unfamiliarity of language?
MM: Are you calling me stupid?
AN: Nay! Said I the words 'stupid' or 'idiot' or 'imbecile'? Thou must be an author to put such words in myne mouth.
MM: Look, I'm barren and that's why I'm bitter because I'm angry at God.
AN: That's what I thought. Good day and get happy or get lost.
And it would be that easy! Maybe her dialogue was a little contrived at times. And maybe I wouldn't exactly talk like that, but it remains the same that I would rule her.
It appears, however, I won't be able to walk that way with lucid dreams of such confrontation. Jeff said that it appears that she's leaving. Indeed, on my way back from China Moon today, alone, I saw a large assortment of trash bags and boxes on the curb. Could this be the end of her reign of terror? One can hope. I hope she leaves her flowers.

Hi Friends. With this Sunday being Father's Day, I wanted to share some of my top Read with Dad picks all in one post. These are all on the calendar to review this month, but I haven't been able to get to them this week as planned. Unfortunately, both my boys have had stomach viruses and it has derailed my writing a little bit. Sick little ones are one of the not-so-pleasant sides of parenthood, for sure!
If you're looking for a great gift to give Dad, Grandpa or another father figure in your child's life, this list will give you some great options to choose from.
The Giving Tree
written and illustrated by Shell Silverstein
This is one of my favorite children's books of all time. It is THE most beautiful story of selfless giving. Box of tissues warning: it can be a tearjerker. I believe every family should own a copy of this book. It provides an amazing opportunity to discuss friendship, sharing, giving and aging.
Mike Mulligan and his Steam Shovel
written and illustrated by Virginia Lee Burton
This is a classic book with a sweet story about friendship, love and caring. It provides a great opportunity to talk about the value of things and treating them with respect (i.e. toys), as well as recycling.
The Paperboy
written and illustrated by Dav Pilkey
This Caldecott Honor winner is the story about a young paper boy and his commitment to doing his job. The book features Pilkey's beautiful painted illustrations of the early morning hours. The Paperboy provides a great opportunity to discuss leadership and how to be responsible.
Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day
by Judith Viorst, illustrated by Ray Cruz
Sweet, funny story about a little boy and one very bad day. The story presents the opportunity to discuss how we deal with things that don't go our way, our emotions and what makes us feel different ways. Also nice to share that bad days are something everyone experiences!
Giant John
written and illustrated by Arthur Loebel
Originally published in 1964, this Caldecott Medal winner is back in print. The story tells of a giant who goes out and gets a job to support his family. Giant John shows kids what it means to be responsible and take action to fix a bad situation, in a fairy tale sort of way. Arthur Loebel is the famous author and illustrator of the Frog and Toad series – also great, classic books.
How Do Dinosaurs Say Good Night?
by Jane Yolen, illustrated by Mark Teague
There are a number of books in this series and they're all good, but this is my favorite. The story gives some great examples of proper behavior and plays off of Dad and Mom in a sweet, fun way. Perfect for bedtime, the book features lovely, detailed illustrations by Mark Teague. In addition to the behavior lesson, the story is a neat way to introduce many different types dinosaurs by name to your child.
Sending very best wishes to all the families out there, especially dads, for a wonderful Father's Day 2011! Enjoy every moment with your kids and I hope you share many wonderful stories together.

Why you should get on your bike
Before we moved house, I used to bike to work. It took around 30 minutes and although I would often feel sluggish and have the can't-be-bothered mentality before I started out, once I'd arrived I felt great. There's nothing like a good bike ride to wake you up!
That feeling of being invigorated from biking before you start work is something else. I used to be cautious being out on the road on my bike, concerned about that car or van that was just a bit too close for comfort. But when I heard about the general accident contact number, I got my confidence back. The benefits of biking pushed me to get back to pedalling too. It helps to lower your blood pressure and therefore reduce stress for starters. I'd cross paths with colleagues in the corridors after locking my bike up in the secure bike shed and they'd be heading straight to get a coffee. Not me. No need with all that fresh air pumping through me! If you could bottle the 'just biked' feeling, you'd never look back. Once you've started biking and you remember that feeling, it makes getting into gear so much easier. You don't have to go far to get kitted out either.
Admittedly, it took me a while to get used to biking after however many years of driving. First there was getting used to the saddle, which I changed to a more comfortable one. Boy do you know about it when your saddle's too hard! Then there's making sure your helmet's the right fit and is actually fitted on your head properly. Not forgetting the lights of course. It's useful to get the sort that you can easily snap on and off, making them portable and not open for the taking… talking of which, you can get kits to security mark your bike too. Very handy and good to know. The security markers are often only visible under infra-red but you can of course put a visual deterrent on your bike too. A good lock is essential for any bike owner.
You can accessorise with a pretty bell and you can even get bluetooth speakers for your bike now too… with rings on her fingers and bells on her toes, she shall have music wherever she goes!
It's a good idea to build your bike ride into your routine if you can, that's when it becomes a habit. And what a great habit to have. There's no easier way to build a bike ride into your routine than pedalling to and from work! That habit loop lifts your spirits and is the perfect antidote for our busy lives, helping to keep us in top condition, mentally and physically. All in all it's great for your wellbeing.
Why stop at the weekend? With a range of bikes for men, women, kids and also unisex, there's really no reason not to get out and get into the fresh air!
Have you got on your bike lately? Comment below or tweet me @AllSortsHere .

Three years ago, Jake and Kady's parents disappeared on a mysterious expedition. Now, Jake is 13 and an aspiring archaeologist, while his older sister Kady cares about popularity. Then, a strange envelope signed to Jake and Kady shows up on their doorstep. The envelope contains an invitation to a museum exhibit that features artifacts discovered on the last expedition of the Ransoms. The next thing they know, Jake and Kady are transported to another world that includes t-rexes, cavemen, Mayans, and Romans!
I received this book from Harper Children's First Look Program before it ended. I did not really know what to expect. Most children adventure novels for me are average or miss. This one was average, but the novel included some great parts. I liked how Jake and Kady's parents mysteriously disappeared. It hooked me to the novel before I even started reading. I also liked the world (Calypsos) that Jake and Kady find themselves in. Rollins created a world with so many secrets and oddities. I mean where else can you find Mayans and Romans together? 😉 Another thing that I really liked was the history in the novel. Rollins included facts from many ancient civilizations. Instead of just giving readers another adventure novel, Rollins also gives a history lesson–one that's far more entertaining than my World History class. I also liked how Rollins left questions unanswered but did not end in a major cliffhanger. It was a great way to end the first novel of a series.
Now for the negatives. I thought that most of the characters were boring and cliche. There was nothing unique about Kady, and Jake was not much better. The lack of uniqueness made the main characters uninteresting, which is never good. The only minor characters I particularly liked were Pindor (Jake's friend) and Pindor's brother. Considering this book focuses on adventure, I can overlook some of the issues I had with characters.

Kindness Day
Kindness is Catching
Kindness Day
Kindness is Catching
Being kind to others not only feels good and benefits other people, but it tends to spread as those who receive an act of kindness often pay it forward.
The idea behind Random Acts of Kindness Day is to
do something nice for someone for no reason,
similar to a pay it forward mentality.
Here are some idea's (but the little things count too!)
Do yard work or housework for an elderly neighbour
Leave a gift/flowers on the doorstep of a lonely friend
Spend time talking with or playing cards with a lonely friend or neighbour
Call an elderly relative and chat about their day.
Treat a co-worker at coffee break.
Put a love note in your family's lunch, briefcase, or book bag.
Tape a note and some change to a vending machine for someone who's short of change.
Feed a parking meter that has expired.
Pack an extra lunch and give it to a homeless person.
You get the idea anything goes.
Attach a note saying

I Ching, Yijing or Zhou Yi
"Oracle of the moon": © 2000 LiSe
Hexagram 39
Jian, blocking - limping
Gua Poem:
The great image says: There is water on top of the mountain: limping. The noble one reverses his being to cultivate virtue.
The character jian is a picture of a foot and 'block' or 'plug': probably hands with bricks. An inability to move, limping, being obstructed. Like boulders obstructing a river. Water will always find a way out, learn from it.
Jian: the ideogram and the story. What does it mean for your question?
This hexagram is complementary to hex.38, where everything is unknown and scary. In 39 you need the creativity to embark on an unknown road or make your own.
It is the upside-down of 40, where everything is so easy. Here you have to be creative, nothing is easy.
Top 6: To
proceed: limping. To come: mastery. Auspicious. Fruitful to see great
To live along the common roads is not being alive. To leave them is not easy, but if one is full of anticipation how it might be, then he will find life. "Leave your father and your mother and follow Me".
(Changes to hex.53)
9 at 5: Big limping: partners come.
Do not fear to get stuck, it is always at such moments that someone comes to your aid because there is an opening, like a gap in the market. So let know you can use help.
When things are most awful, the biggest forces arise to conquer them. So don't fear the bad moments, you will find the strength to deal with them.
(Changes to hex.15)
6 at
4: To proceed: limping. To come: cooperation.
People do not listen to what they know, they listen to the unexpected, the creative, the new possibilities. If you try to adapt, you will end up alone, but if you are genuine, they will find you, offer their company, and enjoy together with you what you have to offer.
(Changes to hex.31) Mirror
9 at 3: To proceed: limping. To come: reversing.
When your life does not feel good, then turn inward and examine your true feelings. Do you live what agrees with you? Do you have the feelings you want to have, find the meaning in life you seek? Be severe and discard everything you do not want, and go to everything you need. If you are not severe, you will waste a lot of time, maybe even a lifetime.
(Changes to hex.8) Mirror
6 at 2: King's servant, limping, limping. He is not personally the cause.
Ideas can be great, but often they need restriction. Do not feel it as frustration, it may be the only way to make them fit into reality. Without it, they will fly away.
Accept limitations, and go on making your life, in the size which is possible. If you are not allowed to lift your legs when you dance, then create tap-dancing. You have a source, give a form to it, any form the circumstances permit.
(Changes to hex.48)
6: Proceeding: limping. Coming: praise
When your situation feels bad or poor or restricted, then don't turn around to look at it. Go forward, with a bright and clean future before you. This is the way to be full of energy and expectations, to take away the heaviness on your legs and mind and make them swift again. Why carry a past which is not beneficial for you? Even a past which is only a minute ago can freeze everything, so look forward, towards living. If you expect life, life will come.
(Changes to hex.63)
