ConairPro YellowBird Hair Dryer
WaynePearland, TexasExcellent ProductThis is by far the best hair dryer made. I have used this model for the last decade and not only does it hold up to drops and bangs on the cuntertop in my bathroom, but it is the most powerful and dependable on the market. I just purchased (2) more for my Daughter and Grandaughter.Well built and easy to use.posted Dec 13, 2005Link to this post
KckWashington, D.C.Problem DryerIts too heavy. There were sparks when I plugged in the dryer into the wall. I hadnt even turned it on yet! There are no labels on the switches, so one is left guessing whether the air will be hot, cold, cool, warm, high, low, medium air, etc. No labels - so weird! The width of the hole where the air comes out from is too small. The handle is square instead of round which makes it difficult to hold. Did I mention that its too heavy? Wattage is way too high. Your hair is better off without it.posted Sep 30, 2005Link to this post
AbbySpringfield, MOLove It!I absolutely love the Yellow Bird! I had used one at my friends house and realized it was very hot and powerful, so I had to get one. It doesnt take long to dry my hair now and it gets it pretty straight.posted Sep 24, 2005Link to this post
KathyConair YellowbirdIm on my second YellowBird, after having used the first for at least five years. The heating mechanism on the first finally gave out. I hope this new one lasts as long because the dryer has just the features I need. I like to dry my hair curly, with a diffuser, and I can do this by setting it on low air/medium heat.posted Aug 23, 2005Link to this post
Jackie G.Miami FloridaGood But HeavyThe product works great. I have curly hair and this dryer makes my hair come out straight like silk. However, it is heavier than the manufacturers description of having a "light weight motor". Overall, Im happy with it.posted Jul 17, 2005Link to this post
KarinGreat Dryer, Will BreakTHis is by far the best hair dryer i have ever used. it gets by hair stright and silky. so many heat settings. my experience has been that of those above though. it stopped blowing hot air a few months into my ownership. traded it for a new one and it works fine.posted May 25, 2005Link to this post
TaraTampaShort Lived DryerHad the dryer for about 6 months when one of the inside coils began glowing brightly. After several days of this happening (the vents were all clean btw) I saw a bright flash inside the nozzle and the dryer stopped blowing hot air. End of dryer :(posted Mar 21, 2005Link to this post
VennessaDefective ProductI purchased this dryer and had it for about 6 months, after that it stopped blowing hot air. I called the customer care dept. at Conair and they allowed me a onetime exchange. I received another dryer in the mail and it stopped working about a month later.posted Mar 11, 2005Link to this post
SydneyAtlantaThere Is Nothing Like ThisSeriously the best hairdryer i have ever used. I will never use another hairdryer again! I have really difficult hair and I have never found anything that makes my hair look so good. I have one at college and one at my parents home!posted Feb 25, 2005Link to this post
StephGoodThis hair dryer is really great. The dryer doesnt get hot, it is really powerful. Its a little heavy and so if you have thick hair, your arm will get sore. The attachments are okay too. Definitely worth the money and I received it very fast.posted Feb 2, 2005Link to this post

The Justice Department Tuesday announced that it has launched an investigation of the Albuquerque, New Mexico, police department involving allegations of excessive force use and use of unreasonable deadly force.
At a news conference, Assistant Attorney General Thomas Perez said investigators will try to determine whether the city's police officers engaged in a pattern or practice of excessive force in violation of federal laws and constitutional rights.
Perez and other civil rights officials met with Albuquerque's mayor and police chief, who pledged their full cooperation with the probe Perez said.
"Let me be clear: this is a civil investigation not a criminal investigation," Perez said.
A letter from the Justice Department to Albuquerque Mayor Richard Berry said the investigation was being headed by the department's civil rights division and by the U.S. attorney's office in New Mexico.
Neither the Justice Department nor local officials offered specifics of any cases that were being investigated.
Berry said in a statement that the Justice probe was "an investigation concerning officer use of force and systems and policies that have been in place for decades in many cases."
Both Berry and Police Chief Ray Schultz issued statements in response to the Department of Justice announcement, and both local officials indicated their city and department had been cooperating with federal investigators for about a year in what Berry called "an informal inquiry" into the police department.
Schultz in his statement praised his department but added, "we know that we are not always perfect and that there is always room for improvement."
In 2010, Schultz said, "when we first noticed an increased number of police/citizen interactions resulting in force it was the men and women of APD who immediately began identifying ways to improve the quality of police services that we deliver. Their recommendations, along with 39 additional ones from the Police Executive Research Forum, were adopted, and to date, over 92% have been implemented."

When you grab ahold of this Cyber-shot® WX9 digital camera, everything in sight becomes your subject. With advanced features like an "Exmor R" CMOS sensor for outstanding low-light performance and Background Defocus mode for DSLR-like, blurred-background results, this compact camera amazes with incredibly sophisticated photos that just beg to be framed or posted to your profile. You can even shoot HD video clips and 3D photos. Who said you couldn't have it all?
Sometimes a flash can wash out a scene and make it hard to authentically capture the mood of the moment. For low-light environments, the back-illuminated "Exmor R" CMOS sensor delivers stunning performance and increases sensitivity by 2x to reduce noise. Shots from a night out on the town never looked better.
Shoot beautiful HD movies then burn them to DVD. By recording in the AVCHD™ format, you can transfer full 1080i clarity and smooth motion video to disc then play it on your Blu-ray Disc™ player or PS3™ system7. Create an entire library of memories in high definition. Movie files are limited to 29 minutes each.
Capture still images—plus vast scenic vistas and 16:9 shots—in spectacular 3D. As you sweep across the panorama, the camera records separate right-eye and left-eye images that make landscapes come alive on your compatible 3D TV or 3D-enabled VAIO® computer4.
Intelligent Sweep Panorama™ HR mode reaches beyond the traditional wide angle lens to let you capture expansive, breathtaking shots of landscapes or cityscapes in incredibly detailed high resolution. Just press the shutter and pan the scene with a sweeping motion. The camera takes care of the rest—to spectacular results.
To place more emphasis on your subject, try blurring out the background. Equipped with Background Defocus mode, the WX9 delivers this signature DSLR benefit by taking two shots, identifying the background and applying a digital defocus. With background noise on mute, your subject is free to shine with the crispness and clarity it deserves.
From portraits to action shots, landscapes to close-ups—there's beauty in the details. With a built-in backlight correction feature, this camera intelligently analyzes the image and adjusts its settings automatically. The result? A perfectly-lit shot every time.
Start snapping better photos with the Cyber-shot® DSC-WX9 digital camera, featuring a 16.2-megapixel "Exmor R" CMOS image sensor that brings out the best in the Carl Zeiss® Vario-Tessar® lens. You'll also enjoy high speed, sharp resolution, and stunning low-light sensitivity with improved image clarity and drastically reduced grain. In addition, BIONZ™ image processor helps produce extremely fast 10fps, Anti Motion Blur, Handheld Twilight and 1080i movie modes. And it's all packed into a sleek, pocket-sized package.
Uniquely smart and easy-to-use, PlayMemories Home™ software makes organizing, editing and sharing your photos and videos a cinch. Instantly import and sort your content by event or date. Then transform your favorites from ordinary to extraordinary with intuitive adjustments and stunning filters. You can even create heartwarming slide-shows complete with transitions and soundtracks in 3 simple steps. Finally, share your picks privately with family and friends or on popular social networking sites like Facebook® and YouTube™. PlayMemories Online™ service can even securely store your content in the cloud allowing virtually all of your devices to access it anytime, anyplace.
Record crystal clear movies at the highest resolution available with capabilities for 60i in 1080 AVCHD™ video. This provides stunning, fast motion video with less distortion for playback on your HD TV.
DSLR photographs are often beautiful because they blur the background, putting the emphasis on the subject. Now our point-and-shoot cameras can deliver this signature DSLR benefit. The system takes two shots, identifies the background and applies a defocused background keeping the subject crisp and clear.
Capturing the right shot at the right moment has never been so easy. Digital zoom brings the action up close to get that perfect shot, every time.
3.0" (921K) Xtra Fine LCD™ technology gives you brilliant-quality still images and movies with easy focus.
With Intelligent Sweep Panorama™ HR mode just press the shutter, pan the landscape and let the camera do the rest. It automatically links together each frame to produce a high resolution panoramic image providing the ability to zoom in on small details. This model even detects faces and moving subjects to stitch intelligently different widths to help avoid subject distortion.
Get cleaner, more dynamic pictures and fewer missed shots. The camera automatically recognizes the correct scene mode, then quickly shoots and combines up to six shots to produce images with greater clarity, optimum dynamic range using backlight correction HDR technology and lower image noise using 6 shots layering technology. Superior Auto intelligently detects 33 scenes for still images and movies, making it easy to get the best shot.
The DSC-WX9 features a 16.2 megapixel "Exmor R" CMOS image sensor that brings out the full resolving power of the camera's Carl Zeiss® Vario-Tessar® lens to deliver extremely fast speed, high resolution, and stunning low-light sensitivity with improved image clarity and drastically reduced grain. In addition, the combined "Exmor R" CMOS sensor and BIONZ® image processor delivers extremely fast up to 10fps, Anti Motion Blur, Hand-held Twilight and 1080i movie modes.
Produce awe-inspiring images with 3D still image and 3D Sweep Panorama™ capabilities. Photos will take on a new dimension of creative capabilities for viewing the world in a whole new way.
Don't miss a single detail in high contrast shots. The built in backlight correction analyzes the image and automatically adjusts accordingly to give you a perfectly lit shot. Backlight Correction HDR helps correct for this by taking three pictures at different exposure settings and processing the best elements of each into a single image for more natural looking shots.
Optical SteadyShot® image stabilization uses a built-in gyro sensor to detect camera shake and automatically shifts the lens to help prevent blur without sacrificing image quality.

I am building a prototype batch file processor using a Spring Batch M3 snapshot build. My prototype is almost done and I have only implemented 3 classes, so I think the Spring Batch developers are on the right track
In my processing part different kinds of Exceptions can be thrown, some that should simply be logged and some that should stop the processing of the file. I want to use the LogOrRethrowExceptionHandler to provide me this behaviour and I want to inject the SubclassExceptionClassifier to classify the Exceptions that might occur.
The SubclassExceptionClassifier has a typeMap parameter which is a Map with a java.lang.Class key and a java.lang.Object value, but I have no idea how to inject an instance of java.lang.Class for the Exception that I want to classify.
I have tried:
But this injects a String not an instance of java.lang.Class.Code:<map> <entry key="java.lang.Exception" value="error" /> </map>
Did not have the desired effect. It injects an instance of java.lang.Exception which is not instance of java.lang.Class.Code:<bean id="exception" class="java.lang.Exception"/> <map> <entry key-ref="exception" value="error" /> </map>
Does anyone know how to inject the instance of java.lang.Class?

Publication: theday.com
Whenever I go out with a large group of people, it seems there's never an easy way to split up the check at the end.
Unless your boss is treating everyone or you have an ostentatiously wealthy friend, it seems like everyone's trying their best to divvy up who owes what without stepping on any toes or aggravating anyone's ego.
Then there's always the fact that everyone has either only twenties from the ATM or their credit card on them.
It's a situation ripe for awkwardness. I once had a friend who would take the check when it came, look it up and down, and then tell everyone else what they owed. For some reason, he always wound up paying the least.
Then there was the time I met a friend's new boyfriend when we all went out to dinner. I'm not a big math guy. I'm more the verbal, visual type. So I looked at the bill and put in what I thought I owed.
"I'm sorry," the guy said. "I think you owe a little more than that."
Someone told me recently that when the bill comes they like to push it toward the person across the table from them, all while saying, "No, no. You got it last time."
They continue pushing the bill to the other person, "Seriously, it's me this time. You're too generous."
I wondered if anyone else had any good "bill time" stories or good ways of dealing with this inevitable dining situation. Post them below if you do.

:( I am so sad the Jason Show set and cast is having a difficult end to the season! Especially when it is summer time and it is time for fun and happiness! Will keep you in my prayers! Sending much love Jason!

Did I ever tell you about my schizophrenic grandmother? We can compare notes.
- June 18, 2010 at 9:17 PM

Well, I think I am the rock in my family. But the rock always needs a break, or else it will crack.
Hang on, and reach out. - June 18, 2010 at 9:23 PM

A fantnasty... why not? I think that could be your DJ name. (Porn name?)
I hope your weekend is swell.

- Lacking Productivity said...
I think we all harbor at least a little crazy. Paul and I were actually talking about that last night and today, our own mental illnesses of a sort, and your dad's came up too.
The thing about mental illness is that we don't really know our own crazy, because we can totally justify our own thoughts, but we see everybody else's, which makes the whole thing more illusive and more frustrating. - June 18, 2010 at 10:36 PM
- Twenty Four At Heart said...
I love you so much. What's a family with out a big dose of crazy spread around? I'm with Sandi ... let's get that lunch scheduled. I'll have a corona with you!
- June 18, 2010 at 10:48 PM
- C said...
awww honey! this will all pass... have another beer!
family drama can be crazy, i have some for dinner at least twice a week! sometimes EVERY. SINGLE. NIGHT.!
sometimes you just need to get away and have a spa day to yourself. get pampered, have your fave food for lunch, go and get lost in a good movie... and hold your own hand in the dark..
thats what i do.

Did I ever tell you about my schizophrenic housemate? They're all over the place even hiding inside our own families. There's help now that doesn't suck like it once did. And, wow, you must be in complete shock. Thoughts are with The Jason Show.

Your feelings are normal, enjoy another Corona. In a month or two or three, it will all pass and you'll look back and learn from the experince. Lord knows I have gone through this way too many times....
- June 19, 2010 at 5:11 AM
- sybil law said...
I think you need about four temporary reliefs.
I have definitely been there, and so I hope you manage to make it through the crazy with grace, humility and laughter. The Corona definitely helps.
Oh - and so does fantnasty.

Things will get better.
Deep breaths and "mas cerveza"! (but not TOO much cerveza....)
I too have fantasies about taking out everyone's "batteries" and leaving them immobile - just for awhile - just so I can catch my breath.... and then we can resume Real Life.
Hang in there. - June 19, 2010 at 6:51 AM
- ChiTown Girl said...
Aw, sweetheart, I feel for you right now. At least school is out for a while, so that's one less ball you'll have to keep up in the air. (tee hee, I said ball...) I say have another Corona, take some deep breaths, and just clear your mind. You'll work through this the same as every other drama/trauma/crisis you've dealt with - like a champion!!

Hi Jason, you are being handed a load right now, huh. I hope things get easier for your family. Living with my hubby who has bipolar disorder I can sympathize with the pain you as a family endure.
- June 19, 2010 at 8:01 AM
- Hula Girl at Heart said...
Is there a full moon and no one told me? It's just been a terrible week for everyone I know. Take a sip of Corona and repeat after me..."This too shall pass, this too shall pass."
I feel your pain, brother. - June 19, 2010 at 9:19 AM

My family is totally nut ball crazy! Hence the reason we live in Japan.
I tell Ian all the time when I go crazy I don't want to know I am. Just set me in a room and feed me green jello!
HAPPY FATHERS DAY!! Hope you have a good weekend. Maybe try out your hermit hood for the next few days! - June 19, 2010 at 3:04 PM
- Martha said...
Corona with a shot of Patron tequila would be even more medicinal. Here's a ((HUG)) too. So sorry for the craziness. I am hoping you and your family had some Rest and Relaxation coming your way.
Happy Father's Day to you and your husband. - June 19, 2010 at 7:27 PM

Why? Why? Why does this always happen at summer? Will seeing me in a bathing suit help? You own your crazy so, it's not so crazy. I want a drunk post. That will be good.

Fantnasty. What a great alter ego name. I'm hearing Janet Jackson's Nasty as theme music....
I'm not a prude, I just want some respect
So close the door if you want me to respond
Cause privacy is my middle name (NOT)
My last name is control
No, my first name ain't baby,
It's Jason... FantNasty if you're nasty
Nasty boys don't mean a thing
Oh you nasty boys don't mean a thing to me
Nasty... don't mean a thing
Oh you nasty boys
(I like this part)
Hey! Who's that thinkin' nasty thoughts? Nasty boys!
Who's that in that nasty car? Nasty boys!
Who's that eatin' that nasty fruit? Nasty boys!
Who's jammin' to my nasty groove? Nasty boys!
Ladies? Nasty boys don't mean a thing
Oh you nasty boys
My names not Jason, it's Fantnasy if you're nasty. - June 20, 2010 at 4:02 PM

I want to be a hermit SO BADLY. Really really really badly. But instead of a soccer ball named Wilson, I will have Jason as my hermit roommate with the understanding that although we are hermits, we the kind who are occasionally prone to socializing with other hermits.
Schizophrenia? How about Early Onset Alzheimer's? That's what we got runnin' over here. Any Day Now. So we shall be perfect roommates. And what the heck, let's bring our soccer balls. Or was Wilson a basket ball? - June 22, 2010 at 10:22 AM

Im so sorry to hear. As for being the rock all the time, its ok to sometimes let someone else step in and give you a break.

Life is hard sometimes. I muddle through by making lite of it. It's either that or go totally insane. Give it a try. I think you'll like it.
But booze helps too.

Yes indeedy doo....it may be time for some relief....like a retreat of some sort for the weekend. Possible?
Don't be fretting about getting what your father has.....a waste of time. My mom had her difficulties all our lives and we spent too much time worrying about 'getting' what she had. We didn't. - June 22, 2010 at 1:47 PM

I know I could.
Hang in there Jas! (That's pronounced Jace but since your name isn't spelled Jacen, I went with Jas. whatever)
HI wish I could come over and we could talk over a few coronas!
Sending e-hugs! - June 23, 2010 at 8:32 AM
- Midlife Mama said...
Yup we've got a big pocketful of crazy in my family too but you mean LITERALLY crazy..er.. well I guess it's not PC to call it "crazy" per se... more like mentally ill. Yeah cause that makes a difference (eye roll).
I am sooooo with you on the hermit thing. I deal with people all-the-frickin'-day long and on the weekeends, sometimes I don't leave the apartment? Is THAT wrong??
And hell to the no with Coronas being wrong. That is the rightest thing evah! LOL Hang in there Jason, you've got so many people on this blog and in RL to help you though. You are SO lucky to have Gian by your side. - June 23, 2010 at 10:20 AM
- foolery said...
I suspect the Corona was the temporary relief, but just typing this aloud was the first step toward long-term relief. At least that's how it is for me, when I set something troublesome down on my blog.
And you cannot begin your hermitude until I have met you in person and had a temporary relief or two with you. ; )
Hang in there my Bloggywood friend! - June 24, 2010 at 9:53 AM

COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. -- Colorado Springs Police officers said charges against a woman who hit a motorcycle while driving Thursday, killing the driver, are probable.
Around 11:19 a.m. Thursday, a woman turned left from eastbound Lake Avenue onto northbound Cheyenne Boulevard in front of a motorcycle. The rider, 25-year-old Kevin Marinec, was riding west on Lake, hit the car and died at the scene.
The woman and a child had minor injuries.
Investigators said both had a green light, but the car's driver did not have a green arrow.
Officers said no one has filed charges yet, but the woman likely faces vehicles turning left and careless driving resulting in death charges.

Leicester boss Richard Cockerill was not impressed with some of the decisions taken by his players in Sunday's Heineken Cup loss to Toulouse.
Tigers went down 23-9 against four-time European champions in their first game of the campaign. Cockerill was left particularly frustrated by England scrum-half Ben Youngs' decision to run a kickable penalty early in the second half when his side trailed by just five points.
"We were still very much in the game at half-time at 11-9, but if you get a penalty in front of the posts you should take it," he said.
"You don't want those guys who are making those errors to do that. It was a huge moment at 14-9 when Ben Youngs took a quick tap penalty.
"We turned over the ball, gave away a penalty and everything began to get harder for us. Once they get in front they are a hard team to claw back.
"Naive at times is probably the right description of us. We also conceded seven penalty shots at goal, and even though some of the decisions were a bit harsh, they were also down to ill-discipline."
Fly-half Toby Flood leapt to the defence half-back partner.
"You never want to take that kind of action away from Ben because that's the aspect he brings to the game," said Flood.
"It became a big arm-wrestle and the conditions didn't help. The pressure came on when they went nine points ahead.
"In the first 40-50 minutes we felt they were a bit rattled. But they are all big men who all carry well and they squeeze and pressurise you.
"We need to learn how to leave games with something and we have to stop giving the ball away cheaply," added Flood.
"It is as difficult as it gets going to Toulouse, but at least they didn't get a bonus point. That would have made it much harder for us."
Leicester now face the Ospreys a in crunch Pool Two clash at Welford Road on Sunday.

OPEN: Finally, Access To Seaside Heights (Though Limited)
Limited access allowed today; full access on Jan. 7
Seaside Heights announced that it's ready to move forward with the following plan/schedule that will allow limited access to the beachfront community, according to the town's website.
Anyone is allowed into Seaside Heights, without being stopped by officers at the bridge or at any entry points, from 7 a.m. until 4 p.m.
Any retail/entertainment businesses can be open during these same hours. "Let people come and go whether they're here to work or just coming over to get a bite to eat," the website says.
Full access will be allowed Jan. 7. At any time by anyone, businesses can be open from 6 a.m. until 10 p.m., and people can live in any units that are ready.
- All residential rentals will be required to obtain a new rental CO prior to occupancy. The inspections for residential occupancy of any units will be done in a manner which "we can handle with our staff," according to the website.

That is great news...Maybe some of the arcades that didn't get destroyed will open also...Lucky Leo's, Sonny + Ricky's, Coin Castle, Casino Arcade, loved going on weekends in winter for a few hrs..
11:20 am on Monday, December 17, 2012
Businesses can open, but I can't live there yet? Seems a little backwards to me and every other resident of seaside heights, I know for a fact residents of seaside heights are furious over this.
2:44 pm on Monday, December 17, 2012
Gianssuck... Why is it backwards? Because homes are still deemed un-livable? If your home is in a condition which is able to be lived in, then you most certainly live in your home. Hence the sentence in the article that reads, "and people can live in any units that are ready."
calm down. jeez. Don't criticize business for trying to start making their living again being that they have been out of commission for 8 weeks.
11:56 am on Monday, December 17, 2012
Not True! I went over to support the local establishments by purchasing lunch and was turned away, being told by a State Trooper that only those who live there or are doing work are allowed in. He also said that the local food establishments are only open to people who work or live there....
11:58 am on Monday, December 17, 2012
I think it is a great sign of progress and one huge step closer to normalcy!! Full restoration will take a lot of time, patience and hard work but we're moving in the right direction!!
6:32 pm on Monday, December 17, 2012
Seems insensitive to be worried about businesses reopening in the off season when people won't be back in their homes until the 2nd week of January at the earliest.

First of all english is not my mother's language so exuse me my mistakes.
I decided to be vegeterian when i was 7. In high school I met some people who were 20 or 30 years only on raw food and they inspired me that i try to be on raw food also on my own. I was 4 years around 90% (10% was cheese from organic farm and yogurt) on raw food and I felt great.
Now after 5 years I am again on raw food.
Otherwise I like doing sports (rock climbing, running, cycling, yoga). I have plan also to go on half Marathon (21km) and to be completely on raw food.

Six months after the United States slapped duties on some imported wire hangers, American dry cleaners and hanger suppliers say they're now paying more for hangers across the board, squeezing their profits and leading many to consider jacking up their rates.
In June, the U.S. imposed temporary duties as high as 187% on hangers from Vietnam, a top exporter of wire hangers, after finding that the country was unfairly subsidizing its hanger exports. In mid-January, the U.S. will announce whether these duties will become permanent.
The trade penalty has triggered a hanger shortage and pushed up wholesale prices, said Sam Monempour, vice president of 3Hanger Supply Company. His company is paying 10% to 15% more on average for new hangers.
3Hanger used to buy all of its hangers from Vietnam. Not anymore. Some of 3Hanger's Vietnamese suppliers have either shut down completely, or relocated their manufacturing to Cambodia or Mexico to escape U.S. tariffs.
To recoup some of the rising supply costs, Monempour's company has upped its prices 1% to 2% to customers like Flora Yadegar, who operates four dry cleaners in California.
Yadegar has tacked on 10 cents per garment to her dry cleaning prices since July to offset the higher costs. She uses as many as 500 hangers a day in her busiest location, and her bill for hangers has been steadily increasing, rising about 25% over the past five years, she said.
The added cost is putting more pressure on her business, which has been struggling in recent years, said Yadegar, 55.
Her average customer is spending $20 to $25 a week, down from $40 a week. "I used to get two suits and 8 shirts a week," she said. "Now I get maybe one suit and four shirts."
"We're already paying more for electricity, salaries, chemicals," she added. "I'm losing customers, my business is going down."
Across the street from one of her locations, two rival shops went out of business this year. While that helped bring in more customers, they didn't spend enough to boost her revenues much.

Years ago my daughter (in the photos above) introduced me to Letterboxing. It was a hobby of hers and we just happened to be going somewhere where a box was hidden - Historic Spanish Point in Osprey Florida.
It turned out to be a lot of fun! It felt risky being all sneaky and having lookouts to be sure nobody saw us. Of course we weren't doing a thing that would have got us in any kind of trouble, but it still held that kind of "not getting caught" excitement!
I haven't continued it after that day but I can definitely see why people enjoy playing. It was very popular at one time, I wonder if anyone still plays - anyone else ever heard of it?
Go HERE to read about Letterboxing in North America or HERE for general info. Maybe you will want to join in the Letterboxing fun!

Lezyne Carbon Road Drive 2 Pump
- Item: LED0120 Claimed Weight:"Claimed Weight" is an unconfirmed weight provided by the manufacturer. 76 g
Sale $90.00
There are those who lament the end of parallel top tubes on bicycle frames. It was so easy to put a long frame-fit pump underneath it. Unfortunately for these people, the Lezyne Carbon Road Drive 2 Pump is only available now, not a decade ago. This pump is sleek, long, and reliable. It comes in two sizes; if you're mourning the loss of your last frame-fit pump, the long is a great replacement. It measures 283mm
The Carbon's barrel and handle are made from carbon fiber, FCT by Lezyne lingo. It means there is no metal sub-structure, just carbon fiber. The piston and the end caps are CNC-machined aluminum.
As with other Lezyne mini-pumps, this one comes with a hose. In this case, the ABS Speed Hose. This is a huge benefit for a few reasons. One is ergonomics; you aren't limited by holding the pump at a perfect right angle to the valve. A second is that this Flex Hose is ABS-equipped -- it has a bleeder valve on it. Because this is for Presta valves only, the pump head is fitted with a slip chuck. Press it on and it stays on.
Lezyne Road Drive pumps are longer and leaner than pressure drive pumps. The 17mm diameter means more strokes than the Pressure Drives to get to the same place, but with less effort per stroke. It comes in two sizes, Medium, and Large. Medium can fit in a pocket, but you'll probably want to mount the Large on the frame.
The Lezyne Carbon Road Drive 2 pump comes in Medium and Large. Medium measures 216mm long, and Large measures 283mm. The pump bracket is made of carbon fiber. Max pressure for this pump is 160psi. The color is Carbon Fiber.

Pedernales Falls State Park
Things to Do
Activities include camping, picnicking, hiking, river swimming, tubing, wading, mountain biking, fishing, bird watching (checklist available), and horseback riding. River recreation is in a limited area beginning at the Youth Group Camping area and continuing downriver to the park boundary.
The park is a favorite for family hikes, with a duck pond, a quarter-mile nature trail to a scenic overlook of Twin Falls, and a wheelchair-friendly wildlife-viewing station. The easy, 7-mile Wolf Mountain Trail wraps around Tobacco and Wolf Mountains, winding along the small canyons created by Mescal and Tobacco creeks. Stop to cool your heels at Arrowhead Pool, where Bee Creek spills into stair-stepped pools.
A rugged trail winds about 10 miles up over the hillsides and down through the park. Riders should be experienced, as the trail is very rocky and has some steep slopes. Horses should have shoes. There is a water trough at the trailer parking area and an additional trough at the midway point on the trail. At this time, there are no rental horses available near the park. Visitors must provide their own horses. No overnight equestrian camping is allowed.
WARNING - The Pedernales River running through the park can flash flood with little or no warning. The water in the river can rise from a placid stream to a raging torrent in a few minutes. If you are in the river area and notice the water beginning to rise, you should leave the river area immediately. Flash flooding is a common phenomenon in the Texas Hill Country, and park visitors are encouraged to be alert to weather conditions.
Ranger Programs
The park offers a variety of educational opportunities. Check the calendar for upcoming events or contact the park for special tours.
Area Attractions
Some nearby attractions include Inks Lake State Park; Longhorn Cavern State Park; Blanco State Park; Guadalupe River State Park; Lyndon B. Johnson National and State Historic Sites in Johnson City; Admiral Nimitz State Historic Site - National Museum of the Pacific War in Fredericksburg; Enchanted Rock State Natural Area north of Fredericksburg; and Aquarena Springs in San Marcos. Many wineries are in the area, including the Texas Hills Vineyard.

The Big Four
Sorry Brazil, in this analysis the 'big four' are the contender states, Eurasian military-economic powers Russia, India and China plus the rival-cum-ally, the US.
Interesting that coinciding with a Condi trip to Beijing comes a possible US military deal with New Delhi that might undermine Russia's virtual monopoly over its defence equipment. Russia continues to supply China, of course, no big.
If India were to become dependent on the US both for nuclear power, Gulf-related energy security and military hardware, that truly would seal it into Washington's orbit as anti-American social forces in Pakistan begin to spin away and thus towards China instead.
Also interesting to note that China's defence budget took another leap last year, as revealed in the annual Pentagon estimate. Part of the 18% hike is probably down to rising oil and food prices, but there can be no doubt that China is building up its capability while hardly making a major contribution to UN peacekeeping (as does India).
All things being considered, it looks like simple geopolitics to me.
Asia Times Online :: South Asia news, business and economy from India and Pakistan
Gates' talking points in Delhi related primarily to defense trade. India's procurement of 126 multi-role combat aircraft in a deal estimated at $10 billion - and possibly, as high as $ 16 billion - was number one priority for him and for the American defense contractors accompanying him. The principal bidders include Lockheed Martin's F-16 and Boeing's F/A-18 Super Hornet.
The importance of the deal is not only commercial, but that the new generation aircraft will be in use with the Indian Air Force for the next 40-year period and, therefore, clinching the deal becomes absolutely vital for the US if it is to aim at "inter-operability" with India. Gates knows it is the sort of deal that will ensure US-India military-to-military cooperation becomes irreversible and pin India down as the US's strategic ally in the region...
Gates expressed satisfaction over the entry that the US has made in the Indian market, which is traditionally dominated by Russia. He said, "We have tried for some years now to get a seat at the table, and we're finally there." Washington is determined to throw Russia out of the Indian defense market in the coming years. The assertiveness of the US sales pitch is evident from the remark by a US official in Gates's entourage, "When you go into joint production [and] cooperative development [with the US], you're getting not only the best product in the world, but you have the best support system, the best maintenance package over the life of the product. You also have companies that operate with integrity, which is different than what India has seen with other partners in the world. We're very transparent."

Song & Silence: Ethnic Revival on China's Southwest Borders
Sara L.M. Davis discusses her new book.
On February 10, 2006, in a talk sponsored by the Center for Southeast Asian Studies, the Center for Chinese Studies, and the Department of Anthropology, Sara L. M. Davis spoke about her book Song and Silence: Ethnic Revival on China's Southwest Borders (Columbia University Press, 2005), which analyzes how the Chinese state has actively built a ethnic identity for the Tai Lüe (or Dai) people of southwest China, but also how, in a nonconfrontational way, the Tai Lüe have resisted the cultural status assigned to them by the majority Han population and the state.
The Setting: Sipsonpanna (Xishuangbanna)
The southwestern Chinese province of Yunnan, in which most Tai live and where Dr. Davis did most of her fieldwork, is a remarkably diverse place. In topography, it ranges from towering mountains in the west (the highest peak is over 21,000 feet), to lowland valleys in the south and east. In climate, it encompasses everything from alpine (with vast glaciers) to steamy tropical. And in population, it is also diverse: the province is home to twenty-six officially recognized ethnic groups, by the far the largest number of any province of China.
The efflorescence of Tai culture is not limited to reviving tradition. The Tai people are also "intent on creating a modern Tai culture." Thus, once finds for instance, Tai monks who write pop songs in Tai, a remarkable development since in the PRC before the 1990s "all pop culture was Han Chinese pop culture." The very composition and distribution of these songs -- via cassette tapes in the 1990s -- is in a way political and subversive: it shows the Tai are a modern, not primitive, people. Furthermore, the lyrics of some of them, especially those performed by Sai Mao ("the Mike Jagger of the Shan State [in Burma]"), celebrate pan-Tai pride and can be overtly political.
The Limits of Ethnic Independence
Why is that the Chinese state brutally cracks down on Uyghur and Tibetan ethnic activists, but is relatively tolerant of Tai Lües? Dr. Davis attributes this to two main factors. First, the Tai are "skilled at not challenging the state." They "learned to present themselves in ways that the Chinese officials would find appealing and acceptable. . . . This has been reinforced and capitalized through the economic development of tourism, which has created ethnic theme parks, dance halls, and hotels, patronized by Chinese tourists. Thus tourism has also help to incorporate Yunnan more fully into the Chinese nation."
Second, the Tai Lüe "have avoided explicit talk of separatism." In fact, the pan-Tai revival that Dr. Davis encountered "is fractured, localized, and decentralized. It is certainly not a nationalist movement imagining a single capital of a future, unified nation-state." Perhaps, Davis speculated, this is partly because "of the history of the region, which has long had multiple small centers and never had as single capital or one shared script." Perhaps it is also because the Chinese state has not followed draconian policies of suppressing independent manifestations of Tai culture. "A brutal crackdown by China . . . would radicalize many minorities, especially those that have already been cut adrift by the region's economic destabilization." Finally, Davis suggested, it is perhaps also because of a cultural prediction of the Tai to find ways to publicly accommodate the demands of the state but privately to protect and cherish their culture.
