I am not sure that I have done this before, but I am going to use my column this month for an out-and-out rant. Those of you who pay me the compliment of reading this column regularly will be aware that I moved house recently, last November.
A MIX of topics from down the decades this time, starting off with a report by Averil on British juniors successes at the wonderfully organised World Show in Helsinki. Incidentally the show returns there next year and no doubt it will be an event...
JOAN AND PAUL CLARK email: We really hope you will be able to help us with our Mini Dachshund Eve. We got her at three years old, she had two litters and was spayed then put up for sale.
Sadly, once again, we see the all-too-familiar headlines featuring another death caused by an out of control dog.
Dear Mr Irving, lets get one thing straight for the record: I have never ever written anything in my life without signing my name to it.
The Kennel Club AGM has now come and gone; Im sure there will be many thousands of words in print as everyone discusses the finer detail.
The governments plan to extend the provisions of the Dangerous Dogs Act to private land has been met with a good deal of concern and not a little misinformation. Some of the comment seems to be nothing short of scaremongering.
MY NAN always used to say you are what you eat and, like most old adages, there is more than a grain of truth contained within those few words.
By the time this piece is published, it will no doubt be raining again, but at the moment May has made her entrance shrouded in a mantle of blue and accompanied by a strange golden orb whose warm rays have finally germinated my bloomin tomatoes.
THE RESPONSE to the vaccine related articles have been phenomenal and I thank you for sharing your experience and expertise.
Simon Parsons talks to BILL LAMBERT, head of the Kennel Clubs Health and Breeder Services Department
SEVERAL times recently I have heard that some of our major championship shows are losing large sums of money every year. If this is true then maybe its time to take a hard look at the way our show scene is structured.

First Glimpse
The 190-passenger, 443-foot-long Viking Njord will launch in April 2012. Five sister boats will debut in 2012 between March and August.
Njord and company will inaugurate Vikings's Longship class, riverboats named after Norse gods and designed by maritime architects Yran & Storbraaten (known for their work on
Disney Dream
Seabourn Cruise Line
's ships). The boats will sail Viking's most popular routes, including the 10-day "Tulips & Windmills" cruise, 8-day "Romantic Danube," 15-day "Grand European Tour" and 8-day "Danube Waltz."
Amenity-wise, here's what passengers can expect to find on Viking Njord and its sisters:
Viking is introducing "Explorer Suites." Njord will have two 445-square-foot suites featuring a separate living room, bedroom, bathroom and private, wraparound verandah. Seven 270-square-foot Veranda Suites will offer full-size verandahs in the living rooms and French balconies in the bedrooms, a balcony-and-a-half concept introduced by AMAWATERWAYS.
Seventy-five percent of Njord's cabins will feature verandahs or French balconies, including 39 205-square-foot Veranda Staterooms with full-size verandahs.
The Aquavit Terrace brings a new lounge concept to Viking. The all-weather indoor/outdoor space features retractable floor-to-ceiling glass doors for alfresco relaxation on nice days and climate-controlled views on crummy days.
Passengers will have several dining options with the addition of alfresco areas with grills on the Upper Deck.
Within the industry, Viking has a reputation for being slightly more "green" than its competitors. Odin and company will feature energy-efficient hybrid engines, solar panels and an organic herb garden.
Viking has opted not to take away from cabin space to offer a spa or cinema. Instead, it will offer spa and health club packages at luxury hotels in select destinations and provide the option to transform the ship's lounges into theaters with multiple viewing screens and surround sound.

Top fitness experts have known for years that the best way to lose body fat, build/tone muscle, and get fit quickly is a synergistic combination of diet and exercise. Now the "theory" has been prove by science.
Researchers from Stanford found that changing exercise habits and eating habits at the same time provides much better results than trying to make the changes sequentially. The diet-first approach many weight loss "experts" — and popular commercial diet companies — promote doesn't work nearly as well as a diet/exercise "one-two" punch combo!

This weekend we have been hefting organic compost about, collecting free chippings for the paths and clearing a new area to put under cultivation.
The original veg area has now got all its raised beds (albeit very lowly raised!) in place and we are ready for the warmer weather. There is suddenly so much more room now that we have the new area coming along and eventually that will have gazillions of raspberries that will fruit all summer and into autumn but I need to get the ground clean of bindweed first.
Beds ready to rock and roll
Patch still being cleared; about half as big again as the area in the first picture
We started off using wood from a local hardware superstore but I can now get shipping crate wood from work so that is what we have used for most of the beds and also for our 4 compost bins, two of which you can see here.

Nikon D800E
This is a user report of the Nikon D800E. It is not a full technical review per se: there are many of those to be found on the internet already and adding another will not increase the sum of man's knowledge a great deal, I think!
However there is useful value in describing how the D800E fares in real life use rather than in the studio test environment used in many reviews. I am therefore setting out my thoughts for you here in the hope that you find them useful.
First up, I was loaned the D800E unit for a week by T A Macalister in Auckland, who are the Nikon distributors for the NZ market. There were no strings attached in terms of this review (not even sure I told them I was doing one!) and no discounts etc on products. My thanks to Greg at TA Macalister for the loan unit, which was entirely for me to assess the usefulness of the D800E in my own practice.
Initial Impressions
The D800E is a small unit when you are used to D3s series bodies such as those I usually use. It lacks the built in vertical grip (although an accessory grip is available, which I did not have) and to my hands seemed very small. I found that the little finger of my right hand was left with nothing to hold as the grip is shorter than my hand is wide.
It is around 200g lighter than a large pro D series body which is nice in terms of carrying but I felt that it did not balance heavy f2.8 lenses as well as the larger bodies do.
Control layouts show clear Nikon DNA, but have undergone some shifts from prior cameras. The major shifts are:
• Focus switch by lens mount has now only AF and M positions
• The AF function switch has been deleted from the back panel and replaced with a 'press and hold, then turn command dial' approach
• Some alteration to the angle of the shutter release
• A dedicated movie record button
• Simpler Live View controls
I showed the camera to a friend who shoots a D700 and he compared the two and pronounced them very similar, so I think we can say that alterations are at least cosmetically minimal.
Are The Alterations Good?
Ah. This is a tricky one.
If you are new to Nikon, of course there are no alterations – this is the first time you have used one, so it all seems to be where it should be and to work how it should be.
For those coming to the D800 from a Nikon platform, then here are my thoughts:
• AF controls: seemed odd to me but I could get used to them probably
• Movie button: of no use to me at all, as I do not want to shoot movies with my still camera. Useful if you do I expect
• Shutter button angle: may be better on a long shoot
The Nikon D800 should be robust. It lacks the 'hewn from rock' feel that the D3 series (and no doubt the D4) have but it has a metal body underneath the paint and rubber and good dust sealing according to Nikon.
I do not like the pop up flash. It has uses – to control off-camera Nikon CLS units, if nothing else – but it feels weak and vulnerable and I doubt it would last in the field. I would probably tape it shut with gaffer tape to prevent annoying random activation and hope that the body took no significant knocks on top of the pentaprism as I think a decent one would crack the plastic flash arm.
The flash could have been better designed and built and is the weakest thing about the body in my view. In fact, since they have two models, perhaps offering the flash option on say the D800 and no flash on the D800E might have been possible.
Thom Hogan has blogged before about whether we are approaching the era of BTO (Build To Order) cameras whereby you can specify some options for your individual camera. Leica already do this with M cameras and I would think that Nikon could do it with the top models too. It would be interesting to see what people would choose to include and exclude!
In Use
Much like every Nikon DSLR recently, to be honest. Same metering modes although they seem to work better. I noticed a much better ability to expose faces against bright backgrounds: for example in front of a window. Even with no fill flash, this image looks reasonable:
Out in the field I found less evidence of blown highlights in JPEGs when the meter was left to it's own devices. The need for intervention in the form of exposure compensation seemed less and anything that reduces the task load between "see image" and "press shutter" has to be a good thing when working with busy subjects as I tend to do.
Of course, static subjects such as landscapes and studio work etc all generally offer more time for tweaking exposure, sontrolling light and so on, and also you may well be using a meter to measure ambient rather than reflected light and so on.
AF seemed better as well than earlier iterations. Unfortunately I did not find a great many subjects to test this as much as I would have liked but my dog obliged once or twice and it coped with him running at the camera just fine.
I found the Viewfinder screen a bit busy at first until I found out I could turn off the composition grid – you may want to experiment with that. It added no value for me and was visually distracting. I cannot imagine the average targeted user of the D800 would need such a grid but at least you can turn it off.
The body does seem small in my hands. I am around 6ft and I could not quite shake off the feeling that I had a compact camera in my hands but I think that is just because I am used to shooting with the larger style of body.
Image Quality
Yes, this really is the strong point (although I have caveats to follow!). There is no doubt that the files out of this camera are very good indeed. Heaps of detail in both highlights and lowlights, plenty of scope for cropping without loosing resolution, great colours and pretty much just what you would expect.
My caveats are as follows:
1. Files are HUGE. Bigger memory cards, more storage on your Mac and so on are all going to become a requirement if you choose this path. Even a JPEG is 16Mb.
2. Technique must be perfect to get the best from the platform. This means camera support, top tier glass, perfect focus and care with aperture choices are all a necessity. At such high resolution, errors that would have gone unnoticed at 12Mp or even 16Mp are going to be right there front and centre.
So whilst it is VERY good, I am not sure everyone will be in a position to make the most use of it. Of course, Nikon have no full frame alternative at lower Megapixel count now other than the D3x and the D4 at 24Mp and 16Mp repectively.
I was surprised to learn from TA Macalister that the D3x is still current; like many, I had assumed it would die when the D800 appeared at 60% of the D3x price with 12 more Mp. However, I am told that the D3x sensor has better results in certain applications (mainly studio portrait type work I suspect) and may be kept on for a while as long as sensors and so on are available. The D3x does give those with existing D2 and D3 bodies in their kits a high resolution option that uses the same batteries, as well. Both the D800 series and the D4 use different batteries from their forebears which is inconvenient if you are running them side by side with older bodies.
The D800 series beats the D3x hands down at higher ISO settings however. The D3x is reaching the limits of good results by ISO 800 (and ideally less) whereas the D800 will happil run up to ISO1600 very well and to ISO 3200 with quite useable results.
I think the D800 is a tool for specific work and, whilst useable by everyone, will not actually deliver to everyone the full benefit of it's potential. It is a shame that there is no equally priced (or cheaper) full frame offering from Nikon. A D800 body with the D4′s 16 Mp sensor in might well be a future winner for Nikon, as might a D4 with the 36 Mp sensor from the D800E!
My thoughts as to the areas most suited for the D800 series are:
• Landscapes
• Architecture
• Fine Art
• Wildlife
Not so good for:
• Portraits (so much resolution is very unkind to skin flaws etc)
• Action (not fast at 4 fps and buffer struggles with the huge files)
Other uses will depend on your style of shooting, subjects and so on. Some PJ's and deocumentary shooters might like the resolution whereas for others the huge file storage requirements in the field will prove challenging and the robustness may not be up to it for some high stress environments.
One thing is for sure and that is that the D800 is a revolutionary series of cameras, putting a whole lot of bang for your money into your kit bag. Never before could you dream of this level of resolution for less than NZ$15,000, so to be able to get it for NZ$5,000 or so is simply amazing. Hats off to Nikon for achieving that.

Eden Thank you to all of you for the lovely birthday wishes. I haven't been around much lately. I've been busy at work and lacking mojo. No matter, I feel that I may be about to make a comeback. Off to the gallery for some inspiration from you all.

25 Feb 2013 - 08:44Thanks for your vote on my heron layouts. I was amazed at the difference the color change made. The orange seems to draw the eye quicker to the photos, but to the birds after the green water. The blue is a subtler draw, but my eye goes the birds rather than the water. Thanks again for your input - have a great day. -
23 Feb 2013 - 08:24Just stumbled on your Autumn Chrysanthemum (sp!)layout. Just gorgeous!! Love the flowers floating over the quilt and the blended background. -

[quote="Lucky Wizard"]I've gotten used to writing today's date under my name on school papers. Used enough to it that a couple of times this week I've inadvertently written today's date when I should have written something else. The first time was two days ago, when choosing my classes for my senior year. One line on the form was for my home phone. Guess what I started to write for that? The second time was yesterday, on a survey questionnaire that asked for my birthday. Guess what I started to write, before catching myself? I'm sure there have been other brain malfunctions... I just can't remember them.[/quote]

I was so looking forward to giving my mom her birthday present last week. Her birthday was the 6th, and our spring break started on the 8th, so I was going to give it to her when she and my dad came to pick me up. I had bought the present way, way beforehand, and I had kept it hidden cleverly in a drawer so she wouldn't see it ahead of time. So the day they came to pick me up, I was all packed and ready to go. As we were leaving, my mom asked as she always does, "Are you absolutely sure you have everything?" (Note: I live 3 hours away from my school.) I thought really hard and couldn't come up with anything I forgot. So a good hour down the road, we stopped at Taco Bell to eat, and my mom jokingly asked, "Did you remember my present?" It's a good thing she asked...

Similar to Chuck's faxing one:
When I was in college I worked part-time as a teller in a local bank. Several regular customers were known as ditzes who needed a little extra attention when they came in. My favorite was when one of them brought a check she had written out intending to cash it, but she had changed her mind. She didn't need the money after all. So she made a trip to the bank on a Saturday morning - we were always swamped on Saturdays and she had to wait a while for a teller. She handed over the check with a deposit slip, explaining that since she didn't need the money, she wanted to put it back in her account.
but I'll bet she was really good in bed

When I was in high school one of my friends made a small set of shelves with doors on the front in wood shop. He hung it on the wall in his basement and kept it locked. He said it was for stuff he didn't want his parents to see. I told him there's a reason they don't make safes out of wood. He said he was sure his parents wouldn't take a saw to it. I told him they wouldn't have to because he put the hinges on the outside and anyone with a screwdriver could remove the doors. He seemed irritated with me and changed the subject.

I remember another one!
A few years ago at work someone faxed us someone's medical records from a doctor's office in Vermont. My boss thought they might be urgently needed at their intended destination so he called their office to tell them about it. The conversation went something like:
Lady at doctor's office: "You're not supposed to have those. Could you fax them back?"
My boss: "Why, don't you have the orginals?"
Lady: "Yes, but you're not supposed to have that fax."
Boss: "How will faxing them to you help? I'll still have a copy."
Lady: "How?"
Then he spends a few minutes explaining to her how faxing works.
Lady: "Oh,yeah. That's right."
I didn't hear the whole conversation. He told me about it later.

The other day I got one of those surveys in my email and I decided to fill it out. So I copied my friend's and put it in a new email (so it wouldn't have those little arrow thingies). Anyway...I filled the whole thing out. Then I went into my address book and clicked on the names I wanted to send it to and clicked "send to" which opened a new email. So...I selected my filled out survey and clicked paste into the new document with the email addresses in it. Then I closed the first one.
When I looked at the thing i was about to send I realized that it was my friend's survey, not the one I just filled out! gah...I had forgotten to *copy* it and therefore repasted my friend's. Ooops. I decided not to fill it out again...until i was bored a couple days later.

I used to work at a gas station about 6 blocks from my apartment.
One winter day, I awoke as usual, and tossed a couple of slices of pizza into the oven to heat up for breakfast (as usual). Then I took a shower, got dressed, and left for work (normally a five-minute walk, but 12-15 when trudging through foot-high snow drifts.
You may have noticed I'd forgotten something. Well, I didn't notice until about an hour later, when my stomach complained about too much Mountain Dew on a completely empty stomach.
I told my boss I had to go, that I'd hopefully be back in a half-hour (obviously I didn't tell her precisely why I needed to leave). So I trudged as quickly as possible back home with visions of a building filled with smoke.
When I got there, ran up the stairs, fumbled frantically with the keys at my lock, and rushed in - to find absolutely nothing wrong. See, forgetting about the pizza in the oven was the second large brain lapse of the morning - the first was forgetting to turn on the oven in the first place.
Thank goodness I'm so forgetful.

A while ago, I was talking to lumi and doing some history (written).
To make a short story even shorter, lumi now knows the two provisions of America's Freedom of The Seas Doctrine from WWI.

One more thing:
Some time ago, I had three browser windows open. I was using one to post something to the GL. Of the other two, one was an image file, the other was the UBB code page.
I wanted to put the image in the post I was making at the time. So when it came time to paste the image URL into the post, I did a quick Alt-Tab, copied the URL from the address bar, Alt-Tabbed back into the page where I was posting my reply, pasted the URL into the appropriate place, and continued with my post. Then I posted it, observed the red X, decided to just wait it out, and went on my merry way.
The next day, I realized I'd forgotten a little step in the procedure. After Alt-Tabbing to another browser window, I hadn't thought to check to see what was in that browser window before copying the URL. The end result: I attempted to post the UBB code page as an image.

I guess I'll mention this here:
Yesterday I found a security hole in the GL. I thought Hy should know about it, so I posted it.
It wasn't until a little more than an hour later after the computer had been turned off and everyone was in bed that I realized that anyone who read my post could exploit it.

Last week the Tyler phone system started a new bit where we have to dial the areacode before any call, even if it's local, because with all the cell phones, they've run out of numbers. Took me a few days to get used to dialing the area code, but I have it down...
Today I was trying to call a friend who lives out of town. For some reason I had it in my head that I had to use area code for in town, and no area code for out of town. I dialed 3 times before I realized how stupid I was.

I'm lazy. really lazy.
One day, i turn on the light in my room. Bright flash, then really dark. "ok. fine. the bulb burned out. i'll fix it tomorrow."
Next day, i walk into my room, flick the light switch up, and wonder why it's so dark. i fiddle with the switch for about a minute before i realize the bulb burned out the day before. "ok, fine. i'll fix it tomorrow."
(surely someone can see what will happen)
three months later, i flick the switch up, wonder why it's not working, and say to myself "oh, yeah! it's burned out! i was gonna fix that today. oh, wait, yesterday. no, the day before. *checks wall calendar* 3 months ago." that was last month.
Today, i flicked the switch up, and wondered why the light wasn't working....

Today I was forced to drive my dad's blazer instead of my car. In my car, I can hit the turn signal by sticking my hand through the steering wheel (it usually rests there anyway) and hitting the lever with my finger, but on my dad's blazer, this can't be done, yet I continued to try, wondering where it went.
Just a few minutes later, I was trying to get out. I say trying, because I kept moving my hand around where the door handle would be in my car, before I remembered I was in the blazer.

I was looking forward to my stew when I took the beef out to defrost last night. I spent most of my morning cutting up vegetables, assembling the broth, and then mixing it all together with spices. I put everything in my crock pot and made sure I turned it on.
I left, knowing there would be a nicely simmered stew waiting 8 hours later when I finally got home.
Eight hours later, I came in out of the cold and was ready to dish out stew when I realized the crock pot, although turned on, was stone cold.
I hadn't plugged it in.

I've gotten used to writing today's date under my name on school papers. Used enough to it that a couple of times this week I've inadvertently written today's date when I should have written something else.
The first time was two days ago, when choosing my classes for my senior year. One line on the form was for my home phone. Guess what I started to write for that?
The second time was yesterday, on a survey questionnaire that asked for my birthday. Guess what I started to write, before catching myself?
I'm sure there have been other brain malfunctions... I just can't remember them.

Right after we moved from the old site, to the new site here with the UBB, I was following a thread with interest. I watched in annoyance as the screen kept telling me there was a new post, but it was the same old post. There wasn't anything new. I think it was a week before I noticed the little '2' at the bottom, and sheepishly read the rest of the thread.
I'm just glad I didn't post anything in the 'site problems' area.

My favorite trick with a car (though I've my share of lights left on, locked keys in car, run out of gas (three times I've run out of gas while pulling into a gas station)) is leaving the windows down. One day we were in Molly's Tracker, and the top was flipped open. We went in the restaurant, and started to eat... then the deluge started. It rained BUCKETS, we were sitting there talking about how bad the rain was before I remembered the top on the tracker. I ran out, I could barely see the rain was so thick, and rolled up the windows and flipped the top shut (pouring a gallon of additional water in the car at the same time), and ran back into the restaurant. I was surprised at the number of people at the bar saying "Did you see that guy running out to put the top on his car?"
One afternoon, I was talking to a co-worker... and when we were done, he asked, "Did you know your shirt is on inside out?" I wish someone had told me that MORNING...
...but my favorite story happened to a coworker named Adam. He was *ALWAYS* locking his keys in his Honda. It was a monthly thing. One day he's so annoyed at locking his keys in the car that morning, at lunch he goes to the local hardware store and has TEN copies made. He walked in after lunch looking like a storm cloud was hanging over his head. Fit to be tied. We asked what was wrong. He'd locked his keys in the car again... all 11 copies. We tried not to laugh, but we couldn't help ourselves.

Major lapse in computer security design:
In the early eighties I had a TRS-80 model 3 with no hard drive and two floppy disk drives. To prevent users from making pirate copies of games and other software, each floppy disk had a password encrypted on it. When you told the system to make a backup copy of a disk it would ask for the master password. If you didn't enter it the system wouldn't copy the disk.
As an experiment, I formatted a blank disk and gave it a password of my own. Then I told it to make a backup copy of that disk onto an unformatted disk in the other drive. It asked for my disk's master password. I entered it. It checked the destination disk, saw that it wasn't formatted, and began formatting. While it was formatting I removed my disk from the first drive and put in the game disk with the unknown password. After the destination disk was formatted the system then proceeded to copy the game disk onto it. After all, it had already verified that I knew the password for the disk in that drive.

Not being successful with a feature of a specific program which I could not seem to activate (the "Analyzer" feature in Access XP), I decided to look it up.
I drove 45 minutes to the nearest computer book store, picked some likely books and soon found what I was looking for.
Then I sheepishly put the books back, walked out of the store and drove back home.
There, I started Access, opened my database, and clicked on the icon for the "Analyzer" in the task bar.
I sat there thinking to myself, why didn't I just look it up in the program's help or on the Internet?

My theatre teacher spastically shushes people. Anytime she hears any little noise, or wants us to be quieter she will let out a sharp "SSSH!" Once she got a little excited and let the end of her sentence get a bit loud and she suddenly shushed herself. She's even shushed her shushing. It's hilarious.

ROTFLMAO @ the vegetable oil
Here's one: I have two pillows on my bed. Usually they lay side by side. One night, before my internet rounds, i decided that since i had a library book to return the next day, i would finish it that night. So i lay the book on a pillow in order to assure that i don't forget it and just go to sleep without finishing it. So after i get off the computer, i go into my room, flip the light off, jump into bed, pull my second pillow ontop of the book, and fall asleep. I awoke the next morning with the hardcover book under my ear. Great stuff. I suppose i thought i'd just listen to the book instead

Aaron's cereal overeating brings another lapse from the seventies to mind. I put a 21 ounce frozen lasagna in the oven which takes 75 minutes to heat. I decided to go jogging while waiting for it so I go out and jog around for awhile until I come to a Jack in the Box restaurant about a mile from home. I'm really hungry so I go in and stuff myself with burgers and fries and then walk home from there. I arrive just in time to eat the lasagna that I forgot about.

Me: At my school, we have to walk to lessons, and I'm terrible at remembering which rooms the lessons are in. We also have one day shorter than the rest, with only five lessons instead of six. One a thursday, I walk out of Biology and reach the school gates before realising that it's wednesday that finishes early. Worst thing was that I was supposed to be in Maths at the time, and the teacher there must hate children for some reason.

2x5=10. Maybe that's why you got 98%.
I always have a hard time with street signs that show (and not say) no [left|right] turns. I keep thinking that they are the [left|right] turn only signs. Messes me up big time.
Sometimes I'll yell at people (most recently KaT) to shut up when I'm half awake and half asleep... totally ignorning the fact that she's sound asleep and only screaming at me in my half dream.
I can't count the number of times I've filled my office with the horrible stench that is burnt microwave popcorn... well... I can... three.

I dont know about being funnily (is that a word?) stupid, but I sure am stupidly stupid. Here are a few that I can remember.
Been to the supermarket twice wearing only boxers.
Once I got out my cereal box and milk and bowl, then proceded to pour the milk into the cereal box, rather than the bowl. In my stubborness I made myself finish the whole box of cereal (it was full).
I was doing a maths test which was rather easy. I thought I got 100% but I got back my result, and it was only 98%. What did I get wrong? Lets just say that 2 times 3 is NOT 5. I had another test the week after, and again had a question which involved 2x5 (no that wasnt the whole question). I thought to myself "you arent going to fool me this time!". So I used my calculator just to make sure that 2x3=6. My result for that test was 98% again. "Shit, what did I do wrong THIS time?". Apparently 2x3 still equals 5 in my world.
I had an early class at university one time. For breakfast before class I ate 3 apples (and other stuff) and my friend told me that I would turn into an apple if I kept it up. To remind me of my inevitable apple transformation she put the apple sticker on my head. That night at a takeaway shop I was chatting up a girl while waiting for the food. After about 10 mins talking she says: "You do realise you have an apple sticker on your forehead, right?" Talk about smooth. =^_^=
How to eat a banana - By Aaron.
Peel banana, throw away fruit part, take a bite out of peel...
Sitting in class at uni:
My leg was at an odd angle and suddenly I get this weird sensation in my thigh. Me: "Cramp, cramp!". I hobble into the hallway and get my friend to stretch my leg for me. Thats when I realised that my phone was in my pocket and on silent
alert. I had a missed call...
The power of three:
I was restless at night because my mum was still awake, so I go to the kitchen and take a swig of apple juice. It was foul! I tell my mum and she says it should be fine. She takes a swig and spits it out. Horrible for her too. My little bro grant then wakes up from the commotion and takes a sip. He thinks its awful too. We pour it out and leave the bottle on the kitchen bench and go back to sleep. The empty Vegetable Oil bottle that we found in the morning sure explained alot. =^_^=

great crib for smaller roomseasily changes into toddler bed
Great Design, Not Such Great Quality
By evelyn's mom
from Orem, UT
I'll admit, I read the reviews and knew this wasn't going to be the highest quality product. However, I love how it looks and I can't stand the way other cribs look :) It is overpriced for what you get; you pay for style I guess. The wood is pretty soft [...] Overall, I am happy with it because it seems sturdy, as far as not being shaky, and it's pretty. I bought teething rail guards right away to protect the wood from getting scratched by my pants and of course baby's teeth. I love the big drawer on the bottom.Just a side note, most mobiles do not work with the crib because the top rail is too thick.
Excellent crib!
By mom-to-be
from Minnesota
Aesthetics: This crib has a beautiful espresso finish. I love how simple and elegant it looks. It's a great height - meaning it is not a tall crib. I don't have to bend over too far to reach into it. (I am 5 foot 6 inches) We have noticed the finish can scratch easily, but aren't concerned. (It will most likely get scratched over the course of time from use).Quality: Once assembled, it is very sturdy and feels solid. The bottom drawer fits nicely, but will not be able to withstand anything "heavy" as the material used for the bottom of the drawer is quite thin. My husband was able to assemble it with ease. We cannot wait to use it![...]

About Me Design Snob, First Time Parent
Though I haven't had a chance to use it yet, the Mercer crib is stunning and very easy to put together. Unlike other online furniture purchases, the Mercer crib from Cymax stores made it to my house unscathed by the long journey[...].I am extremely picky about home furnishings and can say that the Mercer crib is a beautiful mid-century modern style piece of furniture that I am pleased to own.The only thing that is annoying about the piece is that the mattress that I paired it with fits a little too snugly into the crib and I find that I struggle getting it in and out.One more thing, there are several legal stickers on the crib that are very hard to remove.

modern crib

About Me First Time Parent, Medical Professional
This is a modern looking crib that is worth the money. We were surprised at how good the quality of the wood and fixtures are with this crib.We were slightly worried about the height compared to some others but now it's assembled and in the room it doesn't look or feel at all on the shorter side (we are 5"8 and 6"1).It looks beautiful. We love it. Great choice.

PIKEVILLE – The University of Pikeville women's bowling team came in second in perhaps the largest field of the season last weekend in the Hoosier Classic in Indianapolis, while the men finished in the middle of the pack against even more squads.
The teams now turn their attention to postseason play, as they head to Smyrna, Tenn., to compete in the Mid-South Conference tournament this weekend. Both the men and women were a perfect 18-0 in three MSC events this season and will receive first-place byes in the opening round of the tournament.
On Wednesday, the teams learned that their road to the USBC tournament in Lincoln, Neb., will go through the brutal sectional qualifier in Allentown, Penn. On the men's side, three Top 10 teams, four of the top 12, six Top 20 teams and eight of the top 33 are in Allentown.
Only the top four from each sectional qualifier will make it to Lincoln.
No. 3 Morehead Stat heads the Allentown qualifier, joined by No. 6 Webber International, No. 9 Notre Dame (Ohio) and No. 12 Rochester Tech. Pikeville follows at No. 19, followed by No. 20 William Paterson.
In the women's draw, the field is just as tough. No. 3 Webber International is the top seed, with Pikeville, ranked sixth, following. No. 12 Robert Morris-Peoria, No. 16 Viterbo and No. 19 Notre Dame (Ohio) makes five Top 20 team, with No. 23 St. Francis (Penn.) and No. 30 Ursuline giving it six Top 30 teams. Niagara County CC (No. 33), Erie CC (37) and Long Island-Brooklyn (38) make it a very deep section.
Meanwhile in Indianapolis the women's team competed against 55 teams, the Bears came in second in both the open classification and in the eight-team tournament. Wichita State was the top seed with a nine-game total of 8819, finishing some 239 pins ahead of the Bears in second place. Two other NAIA teams, Webber International and Robert Morris, followed with Lindenwood completing the top five.
In the tournament, the Bears knocked off McKendree in the opening round and Wright State in the semifinals before falling to No. 4 Robert Morris in the championship.
Two individuals bowled in all nine games and both finished in the Top 10. Junior Christina Halen made the all-tournament team with an average of 196.889, while senior Brandy Hensley was ninth while averaging 195.111.
Other top scorers for the Bears include sophomore Astrid Valiente with a 193, sophomore Brianna Larson at 190 and freshman Katelyn Simpson with an average of 187.
The men faced an even more daunting challenge, with 77 teams competing on the lanes. Coach Kyle Wilson's unit finished 39th in the event.
Morehead State was the overall winner in the tournament, averaging 1020.222. Pikeville's average was 900.889.
Among the top bowlers for the Bears were sophomore Lucas Hohnstein at 191, senior Kyle McInerney with an average of 188 and senior Brian Wicker at 179.

Lewis and his defense attorney, however, have long maintained Lewis was trying to act as a peacemaker, to get his friends back in the limo and away from trouble.
When the trial started, the case crumbled on live television. Witnesses changed their stories. Defense lawyers tore down the claims of witnesses who had troubled pasts or had spent the night drinking.
Prosecutors "put their case together with Band-Aids and it didn't hold together," Lewis' attorney, Ed Garland, told CNN this week.
The district attorney's office ended up dropping the murder charges against Lewis in the middle of the trial to cut a plea deal. Lewis agreed to plead guilty to a misdemeanor charge of obstruction of justice and testify against his friends.
But in the end, that wasn't enough to win prosecutors a conviction. The jury acquitted Oakley and Sweeting, too.
No was ever convicted in the killings.
Ray Lewis' path to redemption had begun.
'Reverend Ray'
A year later, Lewis was back at the Super Bowl, this time as a player. He earned Most Valuable Player honors in a 34-7 rout of the New York Giants.
In the ensuing years, Lewis stuck close to a growing faith, one nurtured during rollicking prayer services at Empowerment Temple AME Church in Baltimore.

gummiboot Simple UEFI Boot Manager
gummiboot is a simple UEFI boot manager which executes configured EFI images. The default entry is selected by a configured pattern (glob) or an on-screen menu.
gummiboot operates on the EFI System Partition (ESP) only. Configuration file fragments, kernels, initrds, other EFI images need to reside on the ESP. Linux kernels need to be built with CONFIG_EFI_STUB to be able to be directly executed as an EFI image.
gummiboot reads simple and entirely generic boot loader configuration files; one file per boot loader entry to select from. All files need to reside on the ESP.
Pressing the Space key (or most other keys actually work too) during bootup will show an on-screen menu with all configured loader entries to select from. Pressing Enter on the selected entry loads and starts the EFI image.
If no timeout is configured, which is the default setting, and no key pressed during bootup, the default entry is executed right away.
[[!img gummiboot-menu2.png]
All configuration files are expected to be 7-bit ASCII or valid UTF8. The loader configuration file understands the following keywords:

timeout | timeout in seconds for how long to show the menu |

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama's decision to bring home within a year about half of the 66,000 U.S. troops now in Afghanistan will shrink the force to the size he found it when he entered the White House vowing to reinvigorate a stalemated war.
Still to be decided: how many troops will remain beyond 2014, when the U.S.-led combat mission is scheduled to end. The stated goal is to prepare Afghanistan's army and police to handle the Taliban insurgency largely on their own by then.
Obama determined that his war goals could be achieved by bringing 34,000 U.S. troops home by this time next year, officials said, leaving somewhere between 32,000 and 34,000 to support and train Afghan forces. That is about the number in Afghanistan when he took office in January 2009; in a series of moves designed to reverse the Taliban's battlefield momentum, he tripled the total American force before starting to scale it back in the summer of 2011.
Obama's new move coincides with a major shake-up in his war command. Gen. Joseph Dunford took over Sunday for Gen. John Allen as the commander of all allied forces in Afghanistan, and Defense Secretary Leon Panetta is planning to retire as soon as his replacement is confirmed. Obama has nominated former Sen. Chuck Hagel to take the Pentagon post, and the Senate Armed Services Committee voted 14-11 Tuesday to advance the nomination to the full Senate for a vote possibly later this week.
Obama's decision also reflects Obama's determination to wind down a war that is the longest in America's history. He has many other security problems to consider around the globe — from North Korea's development of nuclear weapons to civil war in Syria to the worrisome spread of al-Qaida affiliated terrorist groups in the Middle East and North Africa.
In advance of Obama's announcement in his State of the Union speech, the White House said the president made his decision about 2013 troop reductions based on recommendations by the military and his national security advisers, as well as consultations with allies such as Britain and Germany and talks with Afghan President Hamid Karzai.
A Pentagon statement said Panetta fully supports Obama's troop reductions.
In farewell remarks to Pentagon employees, Panetta said Tuesday he is confident that the war strategy is on track.
"We will be able to transition over these next two years to a point where the Afghans themselves can govern and secure themselves," he said.
The White House did not spell out the pace at which the 34,000 troops will be withdrawn over the coming year. Defense officials said it's likely that the bulk of them will be kept through summer. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because details of the withdrawal had not been announced. Continued...
Private analysts are divided on the wisdom of accelerating the withdrawal of American forces. Michael O'Hanlon of the Brookings Institution wrote that he believes the current U.S. troop level should remain until autumn, when a seasonal lull in Taliban activity usually begins. "The president should now be patient with what happens over the next eight months," O'Hanlon wrote in an opinion piece for Politico, adding that Dunford needs time to consolidate progress in eastern Afghanistan.
The U.S. is still finalizing plans for the size and scope of its military presence after the allied combat mission ends in December 2014.
Stephen Biddle, a professor of international affairs at George Washington University, said the decision on post-2014 force levels is more important than the pace of 2013 withdrawals.
"The real issue is what you're ultimately going to draw down to — what does the end of this road look like, not the weigh stations," Biddle said.
Officials have said the White House is considering a range of options that would leave between 5,000 and 10,000 troops beyond 2014, but it also is hoping for help from NATO allies. Those troops would limit their missions to training Afghan troops and hunting down terrorists.
Obama discussed the next phases of the drawdown with Karzai during a meeting in Washington last month, their first since Obama's re-election. They agreed to accelerate their timetable for putting Afghan forces in the lead combat role nationwide, moving that transition up from the summer to the spring.
A persistent worry is that pulling out of Afghanistan too quickly will leave the battle-scarred country vulnerable to collapse. In a worst-case scenario, that could allow the Taliban to regain power and revert to the role they played in the years before 9/11 as protectors of al-Qaida terrorists bent on striking the U.S.
Many Americans, however, are weary of the war, according to public opinion polls, and are skeptical of any claim that Afghanistan is worth more U.S. blood. Registered voters are roughly split between those who say the U.S. should remove all troops and those who favor leaving some troops in place for counterterrorism efforts, according to a recent Fox News poll.

In general, ads that aired earlier did better at driving interest. That probably had something to do with viewers' interest in the game as it progressed, said Edmunds.com analyst Michelle Krebs.
"When the Ravens got so far ahead and with the power outage we saw traffic really start to slow," she said. But then when San Francisco mounted a comeback, "it began to pick up again."

In this economy, any little thing you can do to save money, make money or improve value is a mark in the win column.
When most people move into a new home, they have big plans and a major wish list. Once they get settled in and get used to the home's quirks and lack of time, the list becomes smaller.
But not all home improvements require tons of free time. There are many small ways to improve your home's value and if you set aside just a few hours at a time, you'll have a major list of things done in no time.
So, roll up your sleeves and play in the dirt, brush off that old screwdriver your dad gave you and put it to good use. Brighten your home and update those vanities, and channel your inner Picasso. You'll be done before you know it.
No. 5: Improve your curb appeal
The first thing people see when they arrive at your home is the outside. So it stands to reason the quickest way to add value to your home is to improve your curb appeal.
Fill in the dead spots in your lawn with a special patching mix from your local hardware store, or regular grass seed. Throw it down, keep it watered and watch your lawn green up.
Add some landscaping around the front step. Plan out how far you want the landscape bed to come out from the house and clear the area, leaving just the dirt in which to add your plants. Talk to experts from your local garden center and find low-maintenance plants that thrive in your area. Adding mulch around your plants is a great way to hold in moisture and keep the weeds at bay.
Solar landscape lighting is a great accessory to your new landscape; it adds visual interest and doesn't involve wiring.
